Different libraries use Social Media in many different
ways. Some such as State Library of Qld
have many tools like Facebook, Twitter, Blogs, YouTube, Pinterest &
Flicker. Not only do they use these but
they have tailored many to the individuals’ interest. An example is Twitter, they have 6 different
twitter accounts from which to choose ranging from following the Library in
general to following their film section or what’s new in the shop. Some are
more basic such as Public Record Office Victoria which only has Twitter,
Facebook and Flicker and others are in between like LINC Tasmania which has
Facebook, YouTube, Flicker, History Pin and Library Thing. I guess some of the smaller libraries don’t
see the need to have a large amount of social media options and therefore pick
the more popular ones. Social Media
tools are a great idea for these groups as it hopefully opens them up to new
users and keeps them going and hopefully growing.
