This article first appeared in the Sept/Oct issue of “Multimedia & Internet @ Schools.” They put it online full text (yay) but I’m going to reprint it here now in case you didin’t click through, and because I can. While it is focused on Library Media Centers in schools, it is could be [...]
Library MySpace StudyTake a look at this MySpace profile: Library MySpace Study. It is by two LIS students and they are using MySpace to, well, study MySpace. Their “About Me:”
Hello, this is Kelly and Lisa. We are graduate students in Library and Information Science at Dominican University in River Forest, IL. We are doing a [...]
school libraries and myspaceWe’re all aware that some academic and public libraries have been using MySpace (see Jenny’s post about the recent US News article too!) to remain relevant and market themselves, but what about school libraries?

I’m in Eagle, Idaho for the awesome “Evolving Library Services for Digital Natives” mini-conference put on by the Idaho Commission for Libraries. Last night we got to hear Stephen Abram talk, this morning we heard Alane Wilson talk about the OCLC Perceptions study, and in the early afternoon we heard from a panel of [...]
funny stuffA few people have emailed me asking about my absence, so here’s a quick note saying hello to everyone. I’ve been off doing fun things, usually involving riding one of my bikes fast, far, or both. For some content, here’s a great comment I found on the MySpace of one of the [...]

I was happy to find your post about the Denver library MySpace page. I am [...]
Take a peek at the Denver Public Library’s MySpace, found at http://www.myspace.com/denver_evolver. For a number of reasons, it is one of the best library MySpaces I’ve seen. They’ve included music playing on their page, like every normal MySpace around, they’re networking with YA authors and cool bands, it has a visually appealing [...]
pla contentI haven’t yet put up my content from PLA, so now’s the chance. In place of putting up my small presentation, I’ll link to my standard, longer, IM presentation. I also said a few words about MySpace and gaming, so I’ll include a few links about those topics here:

UPDATE 3.14 – Skagirlie notes that the link I gave is now a redirect to MySpace’s homepage. So here are two links to rather boring screenshots:

In all of the talks I give on IM I mention “the big three” IM networks: AOL, Yahoo, and MSN. Looks like that trinity will have [...]
