[OPLINLIST] MySpace in the library

[Laura Thorne]

I am interested in how many libraries allow access to MySpace, Facebook, and
other social networking sites.  Our security blocks access for the public's
and staff's computers, but many library news articles are touting these
sites as a great way to interact with teens and young people and that it is
vital for the public library to be part of this.  The articles imply that if
libraries don't offer these social sites to teens, they will not come to or
use the library.
I am interested in any thoughts on this topic.
Thanks in advance
