Go Binky and Chris! (They started off the session with the Facebook Stalkin' song!) and they showed Emily's awesome profile photo!)
The ETS Facebook App White paper was referenced.
Chris shared some data from the recent Facebook survey: (125 respondents--we'll be blogging more on this to come)
70% of our survey respondents said that the app helped them find the resources they need.
40% appreciated Libraries efforts to engage them in Facebook
8% disapproved of an educational presence in Facebook
Here are Binky & Chris's lessons learned:
More social = better
Some students just don't use apps
Some students don't want us in Facebook
Spring board for other integrated 2.0 tools
Next steps...
Styled results in the Facebook interface.
Share results with other users.
Map my book
Swem signal for Penn State
Holds and overdue reminders
Games
Binky put it really nicely: "Building connections and building community...That's why the Libraries is in Facebook!"
Question from the audience: Could the data be interactive enough with the Libraries databases so that it could mimics Amazon.com's "People who checked out this book also checked out..."
