Social Networking for Genealogists

The library has added the book Social Networking for Genealogists by Drew Smith to our collection. Using genealogy-related examples, Smith demonstrates how many social networking and Web 2.0 sites and services can be used to share resources and communicate with other genealogists. Some examples of these resources are blogs, genealogy-specific social networks, Facebook, podcasts, wikis, photos and video sharing and much more.

It is a great resource for keeping up with an ever changing World Wide Web.
