_Connections: Online Social Networks For Organizations_

 

While Facebook and MySpace are among the better-known general online social networks, there are an ever-increasing number of online networks that have emerged for and within a wide variety of communities.

 

Among many others, these include networks for Academe and Education, People of Color, Boomers, LGBT groups, Religion, and Researchers and Scholars.

 

This presentation will provide an overview of a variety of niche online networks, and a detailed review of select niche social networks created to better connect and engage clients, customers, patrons, and staff, within and outside of organizations.

 

I am most grateful to Maria-Jesus del Olmo, Director, Information Resource Center U.S. Embassy / Madrid, Spain; SEDIC - Asociación Española de Documentación e Información;  and Milagros del Corral Beltrán, Director, Biblioteca Nacional de España, for making my visit and presentation possible.

 

Links to The PPT and MP3 (and original PPT and source Audio file(s)) are available at
