Stephen Francoeur: If you want to get an academically rigorous perspective on why people use social networks like Facebook or MySpace, you should be reading Danah Boyd's work. She's a PhD student at UC Berkeley and takes an anthropological perspective on social networks. Her main web site is at danah.org

Notes from the Meeting
We had a record number of attendees at this meeting: somewhere between 26 and 30.
Welcome and introductions
Scott Johnston from the CUNY Grad Center welcomed everyone to the meeting and asked everyone to introduce themselves one-by-one. As Stephen Francoeur's request, everyone mentioned not just what institution they were affiliated with but also whether they used social networks personally or their institutions did.

Discussion
Stephen Francoeur: privacy of ref questions asked on your wall in FB
Beth Evans: you get a lot of bulletins in MySpace on a daily basis if you have a lot of friends like the Brooklyn College library site does, but reference questions will surface there; Beth just happened to notice them but it's not reasonable to go through 250 bulletins a day; they do get individual questions but often they're not from Brooklyn College (e.g., people who want to know about the college more generally; the kind of questions that admissions might want to answer); If someone friends them who is a filmmaker, Beth will send them info about the film program at Brooklyn (an unasked for responsibility for Beth); hasn't been put into the workflow for ref services
Charles Livermore: students have a totally different view of privacy these days; they have a lack of awareness
Shannon Kealey: if you delete a question, that doesn't get it off the se]]> Wed, 28 Nov 2007 15:58:00 +0000 mod http://vrsig.pbwiki.com/2007+November+28+Meeting email.hidden@example.com (Stephen Francoeur) Stephen Francoeur edited 2007 November 28 Meeting This page from the University of Southern Indiana's library web site promotes the Facebook reference services of Susan Metcalf, USI’s Instructional Services Librarian.
