My weekly review: Week 4
Submitted by hollyristau on Sun, 2007-03-11 20:40.
It was another eye-opening week for me.
I feel like I am repeating what others have said here, but I am questioning the value of a library being a member of either Myspace or Facebook. That does feel more like a personal realm for the young rather than a place for institutions, and I'm uncomfortable there. I like the library flickr accounts because they seem useful and there seems to be more for me in flicker than the other two programs. I was unable to access the MMOG program because I don't have the computer power at a place that allows access. I have exceptional connectivity compared to my patrons so I also wonder how much my people are accessing this type of program. Many people here do not even have telephones, much less high speed internet access.

You may feel like you're repeating, but I think you've made a really valid statement when you say "I'm uncomfortable there." Obviously we're all pushing our boundaries of what can be done in libraries by taking this course, but I think it's important never to feel uncomfortable about what you're doing. It's not good for yourself, nor for your users, who would probably pick up on that discomfort and be put off.
