Associates question

Hello Everyone,

The question for the March 2010 issue of Associates: the Electronic Library Support Staff Journal http://associates.ucr.edu/journal/ is:

Does your library use web 2.0 applications, such as blogs, wikis and/or social networking sites, such as, Facebook or Flickr? If so, how are they used by your library service and how effective are they? Or if your library has made a decision not to use them, why?

This question is a bit longer than usual. If you would like to reply please contact me on associates@hotkey.net.au.

Regards
Kevin Dudeney
