Melvil Dewey is a numbers man

All the myspace library posts are fairly similar.
How could I not check out the Sarasosa Elsie Quirk Public Library? Unfortunately it wasn’t as interesting as its name suggested. Or particularly well set up.
Other Myspace pages interestingly enough run what appear to be paid advertisements – a money earner for the State Library on its web page perhaps – as well as provide opportunities for grateful users to comment positively on their library experiences. Pats on the back all round.
And check out the fat cat (or is it a cleverly disguised sheep?) at http://www.myspace.com/westmontlibrary
Lots of ads for library events as well.
And sometimes the link to myspace on your right decides not to work. VERY frustrating.

I'm sure many organisation use MySpace just to have a presence in a world where another generation hangs out...although I must admit I have become quite hooked on Facebook as it is a way to communicate with overseas friends and share photos, etc...

That is most definitely a sheep!
