The tenacious and mostly harmless Stacie Hanes started the Science Fiction Research Association (SFRA) group on Facebook some time ago. Recently, I signed on as an admin of the group with Stacie after I became SFRA’s Publicity Director. Now, I would like to ask all SFRA members on Facebook (and there are a whole lot of you out there) to join the group. It is a terrific way to put faces to the names of folks that you work with professionally, and it is another way in which we can all stay informed and connected about the going-ons of the organization and our fellow members. Also, the group is not exclusive to SFRA members, so I would like to extend the invitation to curious passersby to find out more about SFRA. You can find the group by clicking here, or you can search Facebook for “Science Fiction Research Association.”
I’m on facebook. Can I join? What’s the procedure?
Sure you can join the SFRA Facebook Group! In the upper right corner of Facebook you’ll find the Search box. Type in “Science Fiction Research Association” there and hit enter. The first result should be the group. Click on “Join Group,” and then I’ll approve your request.
I joined long ago, and it has been dead. Has it been recently brought back to life?
Hey Patrick–Yeah, we’re trying to resurrect the group, and we have had some success in adding Facebook SFRA group members. Unfortunately, the group structure on Facebook isn’t as closely tied to the other, more redeeming functions of Facebook such as the constant update aggregator. It seems like groups must be actively sought out by group participants. Do you have any ideas about how we can build up the SFRA Facebook group?
