After reading AnnaLaura Brown's blog post about the top trends in social networking for libraries in 2010 I poked around a little and saw that her list for 2011 has come out! (lucky me!)
Which of these tools and trends has already impacted on your library or organisation?
I work in a primary school library so many of these do not impact our situation. That said we in the library are using Google applications with the students and the school is using Twitter to communicate with parents and former students
Which of these tools and trends have been discussed by people within your library or organisation as having potential in supporting its goals?
I do know that one of the teacher librarians is looking at using social media within the staff for collaborative purposes, specially using delicious
Which of these tools and trends have not yet hit your library or organisation's radar?
We are pretty closed to the uses of social media at my school. The school's line is that they want to protect the students and do everything in house. Personally I'd like to see more virtual reference and social media taught more in media studies for younger students. The sooner we teach children what is out there, how powerful it is and how to avoid pitfalls the more empowered they will be. IMHO.
