In doing some research for a SLANZA magazine article I came across this article called Twitter for libraries (and librarians) which offers some how and why information on a range of libraries using Twitter. Ask a Librarian is an example of Twitter use by librarians in the UK (you will need a twitter account to check that one out). It immediately strikes me that Twitter would be a very simple way to announce new book arrivals in the Public Library environment, and you could even have separate Twitter accounts for special interest groups... Food for thought maybe.
Personal opinion here - Twitter has been the best free professional development for me in the last 18 months with respect to Web 2.0 applications. Twitter has ultimately led me to all of the applications I now use and promote, courtesy of the wonderful people I follow.
