Okay, Linkedin looks like a great professional social networking site. It's a place to go to exchange information with other professionals all over the world. People are able to stay current with all of their business contacts. I like that they don't identify the people asking or answering questions and they offer it in six languages. I would recommend this site to those patrons or friends that are looking for a new job as well as small business owners who just want to stay in the loop with the professional community.
From what I could see, WebJunction is where anyone in the library profession can go to build knowledge and skills by sharing resources as well as experience toward common goals. They offer over 600 training courses on customer service, computer technology, library management and basic library skills. The computer training classes are self-paced (begin, stop and restart anytime), convenient to access and affordable. We can also purchase course sets, which are groups of 5 courses on key topics for specific staff skills or volume courses at discounted rates. I think that using the discussion group forum and training courses would be beneficial to our library staff.
