[Web4lib] Facebook and Libraries

[Gerry Mckiernan]

Friends/

I am in the process of completing a survey article on Libraries and Facebook.

In addition to the literature and initiatives profiled in the Friends blog, I am greatly interested in learning of Any/All libraries using Facebook as a complement / supplement / substitute for Any / All library services / programs / etc. such as, but not limited to the following uses or contexts:

*Classroom Intruction

*Collection Management

*Course Management 

Desk Reference 

*Digital Reference 

*Distance Education/Learning 

*Information Commons 

*Learning Communities 

Among other services, I am particularly interested in non-Public Services uses, notably Technical Services. 

BTW: I am aware of various Facebook Library Groups/Pages such as 

*Librarians and Facebook 

*Libraries Using Facebook Pages 

I am also interested in Any / All Other Relevant Literature / Sites.

Links to associated * Facebook Groups/Pages are available at
