using myspace and facebook in the library?

Of course you are, and don't worry-- I'm not going to stop you.

But, the United States government might. If you happen to be under 18, Congress is worried about protecting you from social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook. HR 5319 from the 109th Congress is an amendment to the Communications Act of 1934 and specifically seeks to "protect against access to a commercial social networking website or chat room unless used for an educational purpose with adult supervision."

Sounds like that idea on how to work FaceBook into your UW 20 paper might not be such a bad idea after all.
