Social Media

Using Social Media in the library is an interesting concept. One possible way to promote its use in the library is to place a large flatscreen near the library entrance that is connected to a Social Media site and set to refresh every so often or to rotate with other world, local, and library news headlines.

Reference workers should also review a couple sites throughout the day to know what is in the mainstream media as well as in the popular media. Well-informed reference workers will be the best resources to patrons.
