Facebook is becoming a popular way to communicate with readers, and the Law Library has started using it too. At the moment we have a modest but respectable 178 fans, but I think that more people look at it just to get quick updates. We have a link to it directly from our website and blog, so it's easy to get to. We use the Wall to post quick updates about changes to services, opening times (this was useful when we had all that snow!) and snippets of law-related news. We also have Boxes for Delicious, WorldCat, JSTOR and COPAC, and links to our catalogue and online guides. On the Info page, you can find all our contact details, plus links to the blog and our Twitter page. Also, if you're interested, there are some rather nice photos of the library too!
It's useful in conjunction with Twitter for getting small amounts of important information out to the students quickly, and then we can use the blog for more detailed updates about new databases or our ongoing re-classification project for example.
