As a manager, how can I support our library staff who use social media on our behalf?

As usual I've been slack at updating this blog. Because life is what happens when you're busy making other plans :/ The road to hell is paved with good intentions, right, and I bet most of them are mine. So here I am with an offering of sorts after having been absent for so long. An offering that will, hopefully, be useful to somebody. I am not an expert on social media in libraries. I don't consider myself an expert in much of anything except eating chocolate, and Jensen Ackles. (And if I imagine the two together that's nobody's business but mine and the interwebs). And none of what I talk about here is a one size fits all thing. So if you're okay with that, let's rock on with our bad selves.


I want a Facebook page for our library but I'm not sure where to start. What do I do?

I don't have all the answers. I don't want them all either. What I do have is lots of interesting conversations with people who work in libraries and are lucky enough to be in social media as well, and this is the kind of thing we talk about in person/by email. I also have lots of opinions and sometimes they're spot on. Sometimes they're not. Only you can decide which camp you sit in on that, really. Knowing that, read on!
