I really like how the National Library of New Zealand is twittering about some of their historical images in their archives. This lovely photograph shows 'Gold in duck' from the 1950's.
Generally I'm not a big fan of social networking sites, but I like how libraries are using technology to attract a particular demographic. The IFLA site showcases how conferences can adapt these technologies for an increased marketing base.
An interesting aside- Facebook indicates that users can join as a 'celebrity band or business' member. I rather like the idea of libraries as 'celebrities'. We all know that libraries are essential commodities in the community, but this status relegates our service to the next level.
As Kath and Kim would say... 'Noice, very noice!'
