In a world where information is more social and more online, the Frederick Douglass Library (FDL) at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore seeks to create a conversational loop on its site. Librarians monitor local conversations on online social networks and use the information as inspiration for group discussions. With emerging technologies in libraries, individuals can voice their views and opinions in an easily accessible way at the convenience of their home or office. Most of us are involved with social net working; we read, absorb new knowledge and log off without commenting to add value to the community. Here is your opportunity to discuss the news of the day, express your views as well as tell your own story. “Start blogging today!”
-- Dr. Ellis Beteck, Dean of Library Services
