In line with Mark Funnk's Only Connect presidential theme the MLA's Task Force on Social Networking Software is investigating issues surrounding the implementation of blogs, wikis, RSS feeds, and other social networking tools. The task force is looking to create guidelines for the technologies and their use by MLA members and units. Web 2.0 technologies offer new opportunities for MLA members in MLA business, knowledge sharing, and collegial connections.

The task force wants to hear from you! Please take a few minutes to fill out a short online survey by Augus 10, 2007. The data will be reviewed carefully and the task force will base their recommendations on results.

As a member of the task force, I want to invite all flavor of medical librarians (academic, hospital, consumer, corporate) to take this survey. We want to know what you want not just what a small subsection of medical librarians wants.
