Item #10: Social Networking

I think it's a great idea for libraries to take part in social networking sites, especially as it relates to teens; I do wonder how much teens access them though. I wonder if there's ever been a study done assessing the impact they have on teens (either to attend programs or read more, or...), but maybe it's just too hard to measure.

Personally, I like the idea of myspace/facebook for keeping in contact with friends you see rarely or past co-workers... even my own family. As long as one is smart about the information the post and who they let see it, I see it as harmless.
