I chose to read 3 articles on social networks. I understand more about what they are and how they work. What I became interested in was the privacy paradox of social networks, especially since law enforcement, school officials, and private corporations use these networks to collect information on people. 4th amendment and privacy issues are beginning to crop up in the courts. Kids especially need to be educated on the dangers of joining a social network.
I can see how libraries use them to go to where teens are. But it’s not just teens. Adults are there also. Having a blog on a social network is a fun way to advertise who we are, what we have, and what’s going on at the library. Social networks can be good creative, interactive tools.
