Summary/Abstract: Many academic libraries have recently created a page on Facebook for better communicating with their users, especially the students. But what do students think about connecting with the library through a social networking site? This article presents the results of a small survey of undergraduates in the 1st and 2nd year of the Library and Information Science (LIS) Programme from the University of Bucharest, conducted in order to find out the students' opinion about the academic library interacting with them via Facebook.
