Dated.

[Edward · Rating 3 out of 5]

Great ideas on involving people in discussions regarding the library and your materials. Dated already as to the specifics as no one I know of is seriously considering MySpace anymore and Second Life seems to have peaked and started the slide to obscurity. Still a great discussion starter.

[Michelle Hoogterp · Rating 2 out of 5]

Out of date at this point and best read by librarians completely clueless with the internet and social media.

[May · Rating 2 out of 5]

The information is dated already as the library world is currently embracing the idea of makerspaces and creative labs. I think an update maybe in order for this book, perhaps titled "Library 3.5"
