Apologies for cross posting.

Dear all,

Happy Social Media Day!

Coinciding with social media day (#smday), we thought you might be
interested to learn more about our findings from our Twitter party on
the use of social media in the library. We have created a ‘Story’  via
Storify of our Twitter Party:
https://storify.com/LibraryLantern/use-of-social-media-in-the-library#publicize

Thank you to all those who joined us to share 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 Social Networking Sites are being promoted in the library

• Measurability - the impact of social media

There were lots of useful and practical tips on using social media in
the library that were mentioned at the party that we have scheduled
for release once every hour today on #smday via @librarylantern so we
hope you find these helpful.

We will  be consolidating our findings from the Twitter party, various
focus groups and an online survey to inform our White Paper on the use
of social media in the library. For more information about the White
Paper, visit: http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/pdf/white-paper-social-media-in-the-library-best-practice.pdf

If you are interested in getting involved with the research, we would
love to hear from you.

Thanks,

Best wishes
