Use of online social networks by libraries

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

This article is half an essay about how great social networks can be for libraries, and another half about how libraries can set up social networks. It is entirely unencylopedic. Originally, with a cutesy books plus twitter bird equals happiness (before all the images got deleted) this article was much more of a POV essay than an encyclopedia article.

 * Move to user-space. This is probably a suitable topic for Wikipedia (there are plenty of articles about social networks in the library professional literature), and the present article might provide an outline that could be rewritten. I agree that most of the current content is unsuitable (sections 1 and 3 just describe features and problems of social networks in general, while 2 and 4 are mainly original research).

 * Delete - Looks like an essay, rather than an encyclopedian entry, to me. DitzyNizzy (aka Jess) &#124; (talk to me) &#124; (What I've done)  13:30, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
