Finally- I've reached the last week

After watching the video clip on social networking I could see it would have a similar effect to using delicious, in that looking at other people's websites, with interests similar to your own, can lead to finding other information related but not exactly the same as your own. This can then lead to widening your scope of interest. I imagine that the social networking services have the same effect except the scope widens to include people themselves, rather than information. Being basically not a social animal, I can't see myself spending a lot of time on this, but know that a lot of people find it very satisfying and useful.
In the library context, given sufficient available time, there would be a variety of advantages to connecting to others with similar aims who may have already invented your particular wheel.
In one of the articles about museums it was mentioned that time needed to be allocated to the task of keeping up their sites on, for example, Facebook, but that it was worth it for the great results in terms of reaching their potential public. At our library, thing are really in the germination phase in this area. Now that a few of us have completed this training the possibilities are so much greater for us to engage in this kind of promotion. It is difficult when few people know or understand the concepts, as enthusiasm is hard to generate.
I thought the Rotorua Library on Bebo was a good one as it seemed more like an ordinary library compared to the flash ones from the U.S. I must say, I did wonder why all these people would want to be on a library site - but each to his or her own.
The Animanga Club looked like a good way to promote your library's particular strength - maybe kids' activities or Local Studies?
Second Life looked a bit complicated, but given more time...
I feel like I'd like to go back now and do it all again to embed the concepts in my mind for future use. Maybe I'll print it all off and save a hard copy. Is this neanderthal????
Anyway, I think I can now say I have FINISHED. Thankyou to all who created this training.
