MLA CE week 3

I've finally completed the Social Networking week!  I think Social Networking could be helpful in connecting librarians, but I still think there are some privacy issues as you increase the size of the network.  It was fun to find others on Facebook, but I tend to prefer communicating with one person at a time for most purposes.  I think it is good for academic libraries to have a presence on the sites the students frequent, but not sure if it would be useful for a hospital (also privacy concerns)  I was doing the exercises from a public library computer, so I felt a bit uncomfortable with the privacy issue, but I didn't see much point in making up a fake name.
