MySpace and social networks

When I first heard about some libraries taking part in social networking sites, I thought it is just another way to promote their libraries. But, after went through the articles or information, which the Learning 2.0 team provided, I think this is one of the best positive things for libraries to connect their patrons in MySpace and other social networking communities. First, libraries can target their patron's age or interest group to promote the current services and plan the future services as well. Next, librarians can help patrons to get more information or get a useful discussion started for their needs.
