I appreciated your comments about the fact that your involvement in Facebook or MySpace may have only allowed you to get to know a few additional students, but that you still feel it was worthwhile for all that. I agree. My posts on MySpace have garnered responses and some exchanges with a couple of students that normally wouldn't have ever come into the library, so I plan to keep it up. Steve,

That way, if students do need help thinking of or choosing a tool, we've actually put the tools through their paces and can even show examples of full-blown projects.
