Gerry Mckiernan, Science and Technology Librarian at Iowa State University Library, posted the following to lita-l@ala1.ala.org and several other lists of interest to librarians.
I’m pleased to announce the launch of Friends: Social Networking Sites for Engaged Library Services, ‘a blog devoted to application and use of online social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace for any and all types of library-related programs or services.’
Friends will include announcements, general news, as well as citations and links to significant articles, books, and other publications about online social networking in general and their use by libraries and librarians.
The Friends blog is at: onlinesocialnetworks.blogspot.com/

I received the following annoucement from Sanda Erdelez on behalf of the ASIS&T SIGUSE (American Society for Information Science and Technology, Information Needs Seeking and Use Group) in my email this morning:
Please join us next Tuesday (September 20, 2005) from 8:00-8:30 PM Central Time for a first live webcast about topics in human information behavior research.
Host: Sanda Erdelez, University of Missouri
Guest: Karen Fisher, U. of Washington, Chair SIG USE
Karen will talk about the Theories of Information Behavior, a book in ASIS&T monograph series that was published this summer by Information Today.
LiS Webcast is also known as LISRadio at the School of Information Science and Learning Technologies (SISLT) at the University of Missouri-Columbia. They intend to “present interesting and stimulating conversations with movers, shakers, and the odd gadfly or two in libraryland.” The September 6, 2005 webcast is titled “Job Opportunities for Next Gen Librarians.”
They also have an “On the Job” webcast on Thursdays, in which they interview past graduates of SISLT.
Webcasts are archived.
