[Web4lib] libraries with a presence on Facebook

[bluehat at mail.com]

Dear fellow Web4lib members,

When I have had various questions about libraries and their involvement in certain user generated content areas (e.g., wikipedia), I have found your help very valuable in the past.

I hope some of you will consider my current question and respond so that we can discuss the topic off list.

I am wondering about libraries and their presence on Facebook. If your library is on Facebook (or if you have a colleague who may not read this who works at a library that is on Facebook -- please let me know), I hope you'll be willing to contact me so I can ask a few questions. It doesn't matter if your library's experience with Facebook has been a success, not-so-much-of-a-success, or neutral. I'd like to discover more about the dynamics, issues, and networking that are involved.

Thank you for thinking about this.
