Definition of information: 'The value of information lies solely in its ability to  affect a behaviour, decision or outcome. A piece of information is considered valueless, if after receiving it things remain the unchanged.'


It is a great idea to have social networking connected to a national library. It is a great resource to have access right there and be able to share information and  to expand the ways in which users can access the search service of Libraries Australia, a vast catalogue containing more than 43 million books, journals, newspapers, pictures, maps, and much more, located in over 800 Australian libraries.


Adding a Libraries Australia application to social networking site Facebook has been yet another way of providing access to the Libraries Australia search service. Facebook users can now access the application to conduct a simple search for library items and can also add the application to their profile. It allows users to shape and create information themselves and amplify others messages.
