Library Social Medians!

Meet Whittaker!

Social Media: Library Outreach and Professional Networking

We're having a get-together with social medians from the University of the West of Scotland library service tomorrow. It'll be a good opportunity to talk about what they do, and what we do at the Whittaker Library at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.

• We blog (here, on Whittaker Live)
• We tweet @WhittakerLib    https://twitter.com/WhittakerLib
• We do Facebook    https://www.facebook.com/wheesht/
•  We do Pinterest for visual things https://uk.pinterest.com/whittakerlibrar



And here's Twittaker!

• And we do MailChimp for news about electronic resources  http://mailchimp.com/ 

 Sometimes Karen wonders if you can have too much of a good thing, because she also uses social media for research purposes, too.  And then she talks about it (the social media, and the research) - here's something she blogged about a couple of years ago.  Things have changed a bit since then, research-wise, but you might find this summary interesting:- 

The Jungle Beat of the Tweet

(And this is Karen's all-purpose research and teaching blog.  Libraries do get a mention, but in a rather different way!  https://karenmcaulay.wordpress.com/)
