University of Portsmouth Library has a page for fans … there’s also a fan page for the Uni, though it’s got no fans (I was going to get it out of its misery, but it wouldn’t let me – perhaps it’s not fully set up or something odd!)

Thanks for pointing this out, James! Guess yesterday there was a glitch, as I saw the wee icon but it said 0 fans & wouldn’t open for me. (Didn’t think to check other Uni’s / fan pages, in case it was a generic issue with fan pages. Doh!)

Hi, interesting list – I just wonder – who are the fans – people working at the University, students? Is there any statistics about that?

Hi,
The University of Cambridge facebook fan page is:
http://www.facebook.com/cambridge.university
Regarding who are fans are, I know that the bulk of them fans are from the UK, with a large proportion also from the US. Not sure how many of them are currently staff or students at Cambridge though. Interesting point.
