Facebook Week

Having read the article on the use of social networking in libraries there is one point that I had to agree with. With technology changing as quickly as it does, it is imperitive that libraries educate the public about new trends and such. Libraries have an obligation to educate and challenge. I agree that we should be informing young people about the dangers and benefits of the web as well as the importance of privacy issues. The web is also really useful for patrons in terms of being able to access library information, services and catalogs from home or elsewhere.

i agree with your comments. maybe some workshops for parents and teens to educate and inform.

BTW -- from the above comment, looks like something slipped through the spam filter. you might want to delete it - don't click on the link.
