- LibGuides Library: A New Facebook Application
As many are aware, Facebook recently announced Facebook Pages that allows libraries and other organizations to create a corporate Facebook profile. Springshare, the makers of LibGuides, recently announced the development of a new Facebook App for Facebook Pages called LibGuides Library. Once added to a library's Facebook Page, the LibGuides Library App provides a link to the library's LibGuides system and also invites users to Add The App to their individual profiles. As an added bonus, visitors to a library's FB Page are able to search the local library OPAC. [Screenshot]
