Hi ladies!
Megan, thanks for setting up the blog! It looks great. :)
Rose, I got your articles -- you and I both pulled the "Be my Friend" article... too funny. Great minds think alike. :)
I have to admit that I'm not wild about trying to manage our documents via e-mail. We could do it, but I want to see if we can find an easier way to dump all of our stuff onto one central place on the web. To that end, I've uploaded my two articles, as well as Rose's 2 articles, to Google Docs & shared them with both of you. Can you let me know if you are able to view the files? Google Docs Help has some weird disclaimer that collaborators can only see the link to the PDF file, not the PDF file itself. Not sure what that means.
I'm hoping to get started on a PowerPoint presentation highlighting the key takeaways of our articles sometime soon. Once I get something pulled together, I'll share that on Google Docs too.
Lastly, in response to Rose's question, I vote that we get rid of the individual page for WVPL. I think it's kind of pointless to set up a page that may very well be shut down. We can talk to the limitations imposed by Facebook when we present to the class. What do you think?
Hasta!

Possible Articles
Thanks for setting up the blog Megan!
Here are a couple of articles that I found through the databases.
Rapple, C. (2007, November). Social networking. Serials, 20(3), 240-241.
Jennings, S., & Price, J. (2008, June). Be My Friend Using Facebook in Libraries. Tennessee Libraries, 58(2), 1-3.
I have the HTML or PDF formats of the articles in my email so I will forward them to you so you can check them out.
Regarding the Facebook, I will go ahead and update the information on the group information. I am not sure whether we should just completely get rid of the West Valley individual page or if we should keep it there, but focus primarily on the group page. Let me know what you think.

Facebook group set up! And welcome to blogging!
I have set up the group for the West Valley branch on Facebook. I used the West Valley account to do so, and "she" is the moderator. What do we want to do with that profile, now that we've determined that it's more appropriate to keep patrons informed through a group page rather than an individual page?
Oh, and we should all definitely join the group-- and invite all the current friends of the library to do so as well. Rose, will you be ok to fill in the group's information with basically the same information (maybe a little additional, such as events)?
I know we are all looking at articles on social networking with libraries and Facebook specifically, so we can post links to those (when possible) on this blog as well. Let me know if you have questions about posting, commenting, etc.
