Social media in public libraries


The Social Library: How Public Libraries Are Using Social Media

The American Library Association (ALA) released a report earlier this year entitled The 2012 State of America’s Libraries. The report states that "Facebook and Twitter in particular have proven themselves useful tools not only in publicizing the availability of online collections, but also in building trusted relationships with users."

  1. I agree. The use of social media networks such as Facebook and Twitter in libraries is quite useful as it allows one to promote the library(and its services). It is also useful to share knowledge amongst colleagues and peers.

  2. So do I! Hopefully more Public libraries will be allowed to come on board with social media applications to reach their communities, especially in the light of increased cellphone technology.
