The Networked Librarian: Libraries as social networks

Watching this presentation I am struck again at how much, to me, it points out that librarians need to be prepared to help people to navigate the new terrain of social networking. If everyone is to have free access to information, and some populations, especially seniors, those that are disabled, have incomes less than $30,000, have no kids in school, etc. have little understanding of how to use social networking tools, it is going to be up to those that are able to educate them, i.e. public librarians, to close the gap!
