Social Software in Libraries

"This book is a great guide to social software in libraries. It's part social software history and part implementation guide. This book is bound to give you great ideas about creating digital spaces!"

- David Lee King, Digital Branch & Services Manager at Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library, and blogger at davidleeking.com

"Social Software in Libraries has something for every librarian who wants to use or implement any sort of social software in the library."

- Jessamyn West, Editor, librarian.net
