Library 2.0 Services to Teens - A listing
Edit: I have moved the information in our popular Library 2.0 list to the Lib Success Wiki, under a section titled: Library 2.0 Services to Teens - Best Practices. The reason behind this move is to open the list up to all who wish to contribute their findings. However, I will continue to accept suggestions in the form of comments, and will add any new link to the new new wiki page that is suggested. It’s all about freeing up information .

Hennepin County Library’s TeenLinks also has RSS feeds on everything from our News Flash Blog to book lists. We also collect and display teen generated book reviews.
The Tinley Park Public Library has a blog for teens that is small, but growing. It can be found at http://theloftonline.blogspot.com
It’s wonderful to see this list. I’m glad the number of libraries utilizing technology for teens growing.
I am in the process of creating an online book group for teens with blogger for our library system. I will not be the only staff member who will moderate the blog, so I am trying to create a list of procedures for staff members to follow when someone posts something that is inappropriate for the blog. Do any of you have similar procedures? Thanks for your help.
Brooks Memorial Library in Brattleboro, Vermont also has a teen blog at http://teenbrooks.blogspot.com
The Weymouth Public Library has a teen blog at http://tuftsstuff.blogspot.com. It’s used mostly to remind the Teens which events are coming up. We’ve also posted some audio files of Teen Poetry and Book Reviews there.
This is a great resource! The Fairfax County (VA) Public Library has: a blog for teens — we’re required to call it a moderated discussion — at http://fairfaxlibraryteens.blogspot.com/, RSS for teen events (and others)on http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/l.....vents.htm, and MySpace at http://www.myspace.com/fairfaxpubliclibrary, s. We also have a Flickr account at http://www.flickr.com/photos/fcpl but no teen events are shown there yet.

This is our myspace profile. I couldn’t get it to hyperlink my text on the wiki
Anyway, we’re a library district in Northern Colorado, and we use out myspace profile to connect with teens and teen authors.
“MySpace - Libraries on MySpace appeal to teens!”
Is this true, or just an aphorism? I’ve heard from teens that MySpace is a good source of library information, but I’ve also heard from the same teens that they want MySpace for themselves. They’re not pleased with organizations, especially ones they consider to be “authority” (read: school or library) being on their turf.
I’ve thought the same thing myself at times. I wonder, “will this teen feel comfortable with me making a comment on their profile”.
Maybe instead of being a “public entity”, a librarian could consider making a profile for THEIR OWN PERSONALITY. I’m experimenting with both right now, and I’ve found that some teens love to banter back and forth with me. Others seem more stand offish.
I think it the viewpoint changes from teen to teen.
oats so soon as they rise to fourteen shillings. Those several anime myspace layouts professional the beginning of the last century, began to encroach upon them, jevbuaumpp
