What about MySpace

There are so many things to like about MySpace. Like eBay, MySpace accounts obviously expand the size of your potential audience. In addition, the potential for institutions to connect with a new generation of users is appealing. Really, the possibilities are endless. At the same time, I wonder how easily a library MySpace page would get lost among the others online.

While I can understand some of the worries about the extra curricular or inappropriate activities that can occur online at this, or other social networking sites, I feel strongly that Web presences are vital to libraries staying relevant with new generations of library patrons.
