TechTracks 3

Yesterday we hosted another session of TechTracks, taught by the State Library staff. This one was Social Networking and the Millennials. and we learned about the shift of web use from reading to creating and colloborating and thehuge popularity and the functionality of site like MySpace. Several libraries have really created MySpace accounts and I was surprised to see that Abbeville, SC has one too. They're a small library compared to us, but they've jumped into what's being called Library 2.0. Of course PLCMC (Charlotte) has a MySpace page. It's great, teen designed and very popular. I didn't realize that you could send bulletins from your page to your "friends." With one blast, PLCMC can notify everyone who's asked to be a friend, which is 800-900 at this point, of any teen program or service. Just imagine! Something to ponder, eh?
