Social Media for Libraries
Are
you wondering how to use social media to engage students? This
professional development session focused on new social media tools such as
Pinterest, Google + and the new Facebook timeline. Participants learned how to use these tools
to market services and ultimately create an engaged community.
Hi library peeps,
I am writing this in advance so you will have all the
resources you need after the Professional Development session. Thank you for
inviting me to present! Below you will find lots of links and resources. Feel free to email me with questions tess.burns@kctcs.edu

Remember when using social media:
Define your goal- What is your goal? Will using social media accomplish that goal? Which tool is the best online tool to use to meet your goal?
Take the Risk- It is important to spell check and be consistent. However, no one is perfect all of the time. Don’t let that fear stop you from using social media.
Use best practices- Find others that are creating exciting and engaging social media pages and outlets. If you have a college social media manager try reaching out to him or her to ask questions and advice.
Have fun! - Social media has an aspect of fun to it. It is really all about personality. If your brand was a person what would their “voice” be like?
