Does your library use Twitter? This article presents some interesting and useful facts, tools and tips about if you want to try it in your library. The administration at my college has decided to block it and I have found that many of my students don’t even know what it is but if you are a public library, I would think it may be extra useful especially for the 35-49 age group which are those who tend to use Twitter the most.

Have you tried Author Stream.com ? This site is a more professional site for uploading power point presentations than Slideshare.net. Furthermore, it offers you the chance to:
present live
upload to youtube
share your powerpoints
embed in blogs and websites
send free greeting cards and more

It seems to me that this site would be extra useful for large libraries. Here are a few examples of what could be done:
teach a live class using your powerpoints and invite a large group of people or certain classes at an academic library to watch
promote the library by uploading content and including it in your library web page
run a promotional campaign
