Thing 12: Digg & other Social Media Sites

I looked at the four social media sites listed and then signed up with Mixx. I clicked on the share tools and sent one of the articles to another staff person via email. I also went to the New York Times news sites and looked at the Book section. I used the share tools for a book review.
These tools could be used as aids in keeping us with the latest in issues, news, trends, books, etc. as we select materials for the library system, prepare displays and provide programming. Used in those ways, the social media sites could enhance productivity. In another sense, they could detract as a person gets caught up in checking them out.
