I’m in the process of looking into how business researchers can best use FaceBook for various market research applications (and there are several–I’ll be reporting on these in the October issue of The Information Advisor), but in the meantime I did come across one site that looks particularly useful for identifying specifically library/library research applications. The site is called iLibrarian, and you can find the listing,which is a 3 part series, titled “Top 10 Facebook Applications for Librarians” .
Another excellent site for learning of library related and research applications for FaceBook and other social networks is called Friends: Social Networking Sites For Engaged Library Services, run by Gerry McKiernan, Science and Technology Librarian Iowa State University in Ames Iowa. Search the site for “FaceBook” to find posts specifically related to just FaceBook.
I’ll be reporting on some specific market research applications for FaceBook shortly.
