Workshop W5 – Using Blogs, Microblogs and Social Networks Effectively Within Your Library
14.00 – 17.00
Brian Kelly, UKOLN, University of Bath
Marieke Guy, UKOLN , University of Bath
This workshop will offer practical experiences on issues of using social media in your library. Starting a blog, deciding to microblog and contributing to social networks are relatively simple: Setting policies and procedures, choosing tools and measuring the impact are not. Learn how to measure the success of your social networking efforts, focusing on user feedback, return on investment and impact assessment. Is organisational rather than individual use a sensible approach? The session will provide advice on best practices on the use of social networking services in an organisational context. |
