While I'm quite the novice at Twitter, I consider myself to be a bit of a Facebook expert. I joined Facebook my freshman year of college in 2006, and have since learned how to post pictures, video, share important news stories, play games, chat, sell items through their "Marketplace" feature and do numerous other things (maybe including doing some minor Facebook stalking). Facebook would be helpful to libraries in many of the same ways that Twitter is--it is a way to promote new materials and events occurring in the library, to get feedback from library users, and to provide information about the library itself (its hours, location, contact information, etc.) on its Facebook page.
Do you use Facebook? Does your library have a Facebook page? Are you aware of any innovative uses of Facebook for reference or other public library functions? Do any libraries use Facebook chat for chat reference?
