Friends/
On Monday, April 7 2008, I will deliver a presentation at
the Spring Meeting of the American Chemical Society
in New Orleans as part of a Symposium on _Using Social
Networking Tools to Teach Chemistry_
[ http://oasys2.confex.com/acs/235nm/techprogram/S24696.H
TM ].
The presentation is titled
"Being there: Using social networking services for
engaged library instruction"

At colleges and universities today, a significant portion of
students are members of Facebook (http://www.facebook.com),
the online social networking service. Beginning in Summer
2007, we initiated a series of outreach projects using
Facebook to directly promote Library programs and services
to select members of the ISU community. These initiatives
sought to inform students and faculty not only about the
availability of core services offered by the reference and
instruction department (e.g., book and journal selection,
library presentations, research assistance) but also about
the general library services provided by the library (e.g.,
interlibrary loan, library collections, reserve and media
services).
This presentation will report on the results of these
projects and describe future outreach plans. In addition,
the general nature of Facebook, and its current and
potential use by educators will be reviewed. The
presentation will conclude with a brief overview of key
readings and Web resources about online social networks.

I Would Most Appreciate Learning of Any/All OTHER Uses of
_The Facebook Environment_ for Any/All Forms of _Library
Instruction_ for Possible Inclusion In My ACS Presentation.

BTW: There is a Global Facebook Group devoted to _Classroom
Instruction in Facebook_
Description: Classroom Instruction in Facebook is a global
umbrella Facebook group devoted to libraries that use
Facebook to complement and/or supplement formal library
class instruction sessions. A particular focus of the group
is the use of Facebook in association with basic library
skills courses.
