Social Networking

There are many beneficial aspects to social networking for students, teachers, and librarians. Since it is social, the idea of sharing each others information and resources helps in creating an exciting learning environment for students. It helps keep all the information we find online organized and easily accessible.
A social network like NING and Twitter informs professionals on updated events or feedback from events that we as librarians can take back to our schools. LibraryThing is a great way to promote new books as well as organizing a collection and it can be shared with students and parents. Delicious is by far one of the best social networks because it provides a collection of sites that you particularly desire and will observe again. It helps in not clouding up your favorites and you can share it with other librarians or teachers. After all, part of being a librarian is to collaborate, collaborate, collaborate!!!
