[Web4lib] Social software in library instructions

[D.C.H.Wondergem at med.umcg.nl]

Dear collegues,

Some weeks earlier I posted on this list with a question about Netvibes. Unfortunedly there were almost none reactions.
Therefore I want te repeat my question but made it a little broader.

Are there any libraries which use tools like Pageflakes, Netvibes, MyYahoo in instructions to their patrons?
I've started al little research on the use of these tools in library instructions in the Netherlands, England and America.
Also I'm working on a Netvibers-page for (dialysis)nurses in training.

Is there anyone with experiences with any of these tools? Or maybe you can give me a name of a person or institions working with one of these tools?

Thanks,
Dorine Kieft-Wondergem
