The professional one isn't strictly work-related, just general library-related tweets and RTs mostly. I also blog things related to work and study (although not very often!) and have a LinkedIn account. I'm concious of how easy it is to spread oneself too thin over social media, so I restrict professional-related social media to these three outlets. <br />I also have a Facebook account but that is personal only.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2269124618955027040.post-59153651359081768022013-05-06T02:51:08.826-07:002013-05-06T02:51:08.826-07:00Hi Karen,

I have found that Twitter works best (for me, at least) when I post a mixture of work-related and personal tweets. <br /><br />I keep the separation with Facebook as my personal account has a lot of information about me on it which I don't think it would be appropriate to share with colleagues.<br /><br />I should add that I also post on Twitter, FB and G+ on behalf of the library and so have access to those accounts, too.<br /><br />CatrionaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14416168030047967667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2269124618955027040.post-80629695765348464212013-05-06T02:34:48.634-07:002013-05-06T02:34:48.634-07:00Hi Karen -

Like Lori, I rely on email bulletins rather than subscribing to RSS feeds. I tend not to follow other PhD blogs, so Whittaker is a useful aggregator.<br /><br />I blog on Tumblr for the public (links, videos, images) and on Mahara for internal RCS purposes (research skills, private reflections on interviews, reviews of shows, etc.). The fact that Mahara is effectively private allows me to be more critical where necessary without compromising my relationships with artists.<br /><br />My Twitter account is a mix of personal stuff and PhD-related information (mainly RTs). Facebook is only for personal stuff, although I am one of the overseers of the Scottish Journal of Performance page.<br /><br />I've just joined Academia.edu, mainly to display my CV and host articles and conference presentations. I prefer it to LinkedIn, which I also use, but in a more limited way.<br /><br />Ben<br />Benhttp://theatreforbabies.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2269124618955027040.post-51088466430105696362013-05-05T14:53:37.412-07:002013-05-05T14:53:37.412-07:00Hi Karen,

I particularly like the character/personality of the posts, it brings the content to life; sometimes making it more obviously relevant.<br /><br />Off the top of my head - hope that helps! <br /><br />Lorinoreply@blogger.com
