"Social media is a way for libraries to encourage, promote, innovate, learn, adapt, improve customer service, market library services, and to discover and deliver what users want. With all these benefits it's no wonder that libraries of all types and sizes are exploring the social media landscape. This information packed session will provide practical advice, tools, tips, and tricks on easy ways to optimize your website for this new social environment. Find out how other libraries are using social media to promote libraries and engage with users. Are you ready for the social?"
Who Should Attend?
Aimed primarily at staff who has some responsibility planning, managing, or creating online library content for web sites, blogs, course sites as well as library staff who are involved with communications, marketing, promotion and recruitment. Staff at any level of the library can utilize tool tips and tricks covered in this session to increase their library's social media profile.
Critical Learning Questions:
- What does it mean to be "social"?
- Why does it matter?
