Well, it took me a few days, but I have finally made it back to my Social Networking assignment for Week 8. I responded to the Library 2.0 post about pitching 2.0 to staff and I took a gander at other Ning networks that might be interesting to our CCCL community. The two things I thought of right off the bat were 1) a Book Club network for folks who want to be in a virtual book group. This could be targeted to certain age groups, focused on genres – anything, really. 2) The Government Documents Network, which, admittedly is a library staff network, but has great implications for how we might be able to use 2.0 applications with the public to communicate/share/make available government information as we move toward a more online-social environment.
Extra Credit – I joined the following groups……Public Libraries 2.0, Creative Librarians, Adult Library Programs & Services, and Library Leadership.
Bonus – I may have already mentioned this, but I created a network for Orinda Library staff a while back. Does that count?
On to Week 9…..
