We’re launching the University of Canterbury Library page on Facebook today. Thank you to project sponsor Heather; everyone in the project implementation team (Alison J, Catherine, Deirdre, Donna, Erin, and Lisa); and to our weekend admins (Caroline Anderson and Anne Milligan) for helping make this happen!

The page includes:

• importing news from blogs;
• links to campus pages and hours;
• photos, discussions, library events;
• ‘boxes’ to promote the blogs, AskLive, Subject Guides, our YouTube videos, and OCLC’s citation application.

The aim is for the page to keep current so please let me know if you’ve got any ideas for content to add.

For some background, you can read up on the Facebook implementation project on the Camelot wiki. I also recently came across a blog essay on Facebook Usage by US Colleges and Universities.
