Library Presence in Facebook

Friday, January 18th, 2008

The Library recently launched the UCLA Library Catalog in the social-networking site Facebook. This application offers convenience for the more than 50,000 UCLA Facebook members who can now search our holdings and ask us questions directly in Facebook.  

The experience that we gained from developing this application will also enable us to offer the same service in other similar environments, such as course management systems, with some alterations.  

You can install the application from the following URL; note that a Facebook account is required to download:http://apps.facebook.com/uclacatalog/All Facebook users can also browse or search the application by its name, UCLA Library Catalog. 

Please feel free to try this service and provide your feedback. and your ideas of new services that can be offered in Facebook are also welcomed.
