| Abstract: | This paper intends to explore the use of Facebook in university libraries by making an empirical analysis of 12 Facebook library pages.
Findings of the study show that Facebook library pages can be an effective tool to communicate and to outreach to students if librarians are proactive and keep the wall alive, but there is no evidence at the moment that content delivery or services have been improved in this way. |
| Other Abstracts: | Gli autori hanno realizzato uno studio sull'utilizzo di Facebook nelle biblioteche accademiche.
Le pagine su Facebook di 12 biblioteche accademiche sono state selezionate per lo studio che ha utilizzato il metodo dell'osservazione diretta.
I risultati hanno dimostrato che Facebook può essere un efficace strumento di promozione della biblioteca, delle sue collezioni e dei suoi servizi e di comunicazione con gli utenti se i bibliotecari mantengono attivo il wall, ma non è utilizzato per offrire servizi. |
