They’re My Spacin’ in Bakersfield

October 20th, 2005

Quite literally, the library being used as an online commons:

“At last count, there are more than 2,000 profiles on the Web site for people who list themselves as current students of Bakersfield College, and the library’s computer commons area seems to have been overtaken by people who are using the site.”

“In an informal survey of 29 people using computers in the commons area, 22 of them use MySpace, 17 of which were using it at the time of the poll.”

“Like half the people here are on MySpace,” said 22-year-old Peter Juarez as he glanced across the commons area. Juarez uses the site to kill time and has found old friends on the site.”
