Take part in our qualitative research and engage with other librarians
through one of the most popular means of social communication,
Twitter!  Your input will help form the basis of our upcoming White
Paper.

Taylor & Francis is investigating how social media is used in the
academic library and how this differs based on the experience level,
knowledge, and focus of librarians. We are producing a White Paper
(http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/pdf/white-paper-social-media-in-the-library-best-practice.pdf)
and, as part of this research, we’re hosting a Twitter party on
Thursday June 5 between 10:00-10:45 AM, EDT, to discover your thoughts
on using social media in the library.

Is this your first Twitter party? Here’s how to take part:

Register by June 4th and sign into Twitter on the time and day above,
and then search for #tfsocialmedia. You’ll instantly see the
discussion and can join in by tweeting @librarylantern, using
#tfsocialmedia to share your thoughts on:

·         The challenges and opportunities social media presents to
the library community

·         Social media as a teaching tool - the role social media
plays in information literacy

·         User engagement & perception of using social media in the library

·         Accessibility– how SNS are being promoted in the library

·         Measurability - the impact of social media

Everyone who registers will receive the discussion guide in advance
and a small gift afterwards. Click here to register:

The hash tag for this event is #tfsocialmedia and it will be hosted on
Library Lantern (www.twitter.com/LibraryLantern). We look forward to
welcoming you there!
