It's the new backyard, the new schoolyard, the new mall-the new place for teens to gather, communicate, and connect. It's the new web-world of MySpace, Facebook, Wikis, and other social networking sites. More Than MySpace: Teens, Librarians, and Social Networking offers librarians not fully familiar with the broad scope of web-based social networking a way into this thriving, rapidly evolving realm-and into the lives of the teenagers who so enthusiastically inhabit it.
