Facebook was an interesting experience, as was MySpace, but I don't see their applications in a professional medical library setting. I searched for people at our hospital and saw that there were more than 100 registered. When I looked through the list, I expected to see many medical students but was surprised to see very few.
I enjoyed the Circulation Desk video at the Brooklyn College Library myspace site. Both the Denver and the Brooklyn Myspace pages were hard to navigate, in my opinion. I am such a librarian at heart that it was uncomfortable seeing the disorganized chaos on these sites. In a hospital setting, we need to get to information fast and using either Facebook or Myspace is not efficient.
I can see potential applications with LinkedIN, however I prefer not having my identity so exposed on the net. Ditto for Facebook and Myspace.
