    Library Outreach via Facebook? (1/14/2008)

    Librarians at the University of Michigan recently conducted a survey on how users view their website and online tools. Of 330 respondents, 62% were undergraduate or graduate students. In response to the question, "[i]f you could contact a librarian via Facebook or MySpace for help with your research, would you?" an overall 23% answered yes or maybe. Curiously, graduate/Ph.D. students had a lower than average percentage of 20% whereas undergraduates had a higher than average percentage of 34%. (Via Gerry McKiernan.)
