I picked "Library 2.0" as my social networking group because I am a librarian and am interested in Library 2.0 tools for information literacy classes that I teach and also to use in supporting our distance learning students. I am a librarian in a community college where our students are commuting students and many students are taking online classes exclusively. I believe that the library 2.0 tools will be beneficial in helping us to support our library users. Participating in this group will be beneficial to me because I can connect with other librarians who are probably in the same boat as I am. Also, Bill Drew, who created Library 2.o social networking group on ning is a community college librarian at a college not too far from my school.

Judy,
It sounds as if you've found a very useful social networking group. I hope it turns out to be a good one.

I'm glad you found something so useful and so right for what you're doing professionally!
That is a good site. Admittedly I haven't done a great amount of hard academic research, so I am not that familiar with library science. This site seems to be a good starting place for self-education in this matter.
Picked up your post via my e-mail alerts : would like to introduce myself as co-editor of recent book "Information Literacy meets Library 2.0". Maybe your library can get you a copy ( I'm not going to get rich on the royalties!!) We got a number of trend-setter librarians in US, Canada, Australia and UK to tell their stories re, use of Web 2.0 tools. Personally I'm experimenting with screencasts, podcasts, delicious and have just done a Library Website for my Library (University of Bedfordshire). I knew the book would go out of date fast so have a log (same name) at http://infolitlib20.blogspot.com/
