The Use of Social Media in the Library- Findings from the Twitter Party

[Oosman, Aalia]

?Hi Jean

Thanks so much for your lovely email. It probably took about 1-2 hours to drag the posts onto Storify from the Twitter feed and a further 2 hours to add text and categorize that one of my lovely  colleagues helped me to do. I have attached a slide highlighting the editing functions but if you would like me to go through this, I can arrange a conference call where I can share my screen with you.

Your #gamemooc webchats sound fab. Can i ask for a bit more info about them? Why and how you put them together as it sounds so interesting and I would love to hear more.

Thanks so much

Aalia

Hi
I'm curious how much time it took you to create this Story and whether Storify now includes any tools that make it easier.

I created similar summaries for some of the #gamemooc webchats last year, and putting the tweets into a logical order was quite a job.  I don't think there was any way to add subheadings then, or at least I never found one.

Your story looks great! I had totally given up on Storify as an archiving tool, but perhaps it's time I took another look. Thanks!

Dear all,

Happy Social Media Day!

Coinciding with social media day (#smday), we thought you might be interested to learn more about our findings from our Twitter party on the use of social media in the library. We have created a 'Story'  via Storify of our Twitter Party: https://storify.com/LibraryLantern/use-of-social-media-in-the-library#publicize

Thank you to all those who joined us to share thoughts on:

*         The challenges and opportunities social media presents to the library community

*         Social media as a teaching tool - the role social media plays in information literacy

*         User engagement & perception of using social media in the library

*         Accessibility- how Social Networking Sites are being promoted in the library

*         Measurability - the impact of social media

There were lots of useful and practical tips on using social media in the library that were mentioned at the party that we have scheduled for release once every hour today on #smday via @librarylantern so we hope you find these helpful.

We will  be consolidating our findings from the Twitter party, various focus groups and an online survey to inform our White Paper on the use of social media in the library. For more information about the White Paper, visit: http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/pdf/white-paper-social-media-in-the-library-best-practice.pdf

If you are interested in getting involved with the research, we would love to hear from you.

Thanks,

Best wishes
