Facebook

To learn how facebook works and create the IPL group page, I spent some time this week working on my personal facebook page and exploring some of the existing groups. On my personal page, I found that I could upload pictures, video, and information about myself. I made connections with friends and relatives that I haven't talked to in years. Groups really vary, with people networking about everything from TV shows to sports to favorite resturants. From what I understand, it is really a fabulous way to connect with people with common interests and stay connected to those you know or knew.

I can image Facebook being used as a communication place for IPL volunteers. It would be great for airing concerns, sharing experiences, and networking. It woud also be useful for sharing websites or other resources that help in the job of reference services. Lastly, it will bring together like minded individuals and provide an online hang out for those interested.
