About Me

I started working in public libraries a longer and longer time ago (how did that happen?) as a Circulation Clerk and then went on to be a storyteller and puppeteer. My Masters took me to research jobs for corporate libraries but now I'm back working with kids again. It's so much more fun and the opportunities to learn and be creative are boundless!

Thing #22

It is interesting to note in the article that Nings are the social networking sites of choice for educators, over others like MySpace and Facebook. The idea that students in higher education might want to use these as more of their professional/academic type of relationships is a good one. We might as well go ahead and let our younger ones see the difference and some of the implications that a public presence on MySpace or Facebook could have. Meanwhile, however, the greatest use of a Ning for my purposes would be for our professional groups. Our private school librarians and our parochial school librarians at the local level could communicate this way and share ideas.
