#6 MySpace

I can see some benefits of MySpace for special libraries, but it appears to be more useful for Public Libraries, which are using it for connecting to the youth in their area. Some of the topics I saw covered were upcoming music events, fashion events, comments on books, etc. The most useful appeared to be the UCF's Ask a Librarian, which had a Popular Resources area with links to their databases and other useful resources. I also thought that the Forums area could be good for library networks (such as ViGLA) where comments on topics could be posted and discussed.
