Should medical librararies and librarians be establishing accounts in social networking sites such as NurseLinkUp, Sermo, Healtheva, Facebook, MySpace, or even Second Life? If so, what should we do there? How will our actions differ from those of academic and public library folk?
Will these sites even allow medical libraries or librarians to have accounts, or will these sites behave as Facebook did and remove their entries? (Saying that it was for “individuals,” not “faceless entities” like libraries.)
