Librarian monitors Twitter during class session and suggests resources, provides links

-Librarian as monitor and librarian as embedded resource *librarian monitors classroom discussion in real time, and suggests links/resources as necessary *allows students to get another layer of information besides real-time classroom discussion *augmented reality, library-style? Information layers over what is occurring in real-time *librarian is not participating, but instead providing additional info as conversations and discussions present themselves *allows at least one person to dig deeper, and give more in-depth examination to questions/ideas posed *embed librarians into conversations from afar (book discussions, etc?) and augment what is discussed

If conversations happen over SMNs, a librarian can chime in with stats, info, and relevant links *how to avoid being creepy or stalkerish?

*(substitute every reference of teacher with Library) *some disclosure online translates into more involved participants *when students engaged with teacher online and teacher had some level of self-disclosure on the profile, the students were more motivated and happy *libraries need to have a level of self-disclosure with the posters, without crossing the line into TMI *there needs to be an adjustment for multiple users of a network, so its not confusing or the voices become muddled (our solution, we post and add short signature at end when personal remarks are made)

-"Student perceptions of a teacher's credibility and their reports of motivation and affective learning may also be affected by what the teacher discloses on Facebook. The number of photographs and the amount of information provided on the virtual social network may positively or negatively alter student perceptions" -"The decision whether and when to disclose private information is rule-based and determined by a variety of criteria including culture, motivation, individual differences, situations, and gender. Teachers may intentionally or unintentionally utilize these criteria to decide whether or not to disclose in the classroom. Guided by new technology in this student-dominated virtual social network, teachers can purposefully limit the amount of personal information they disclose on their Facebook website (much like face-to-face interaction in the classroom) to be seen in a positive light among their students" *manage the social networks properly in order to gain social capital, and strengthen latent ties into weak ones

-"Certain forms of face-to-face self-disclosure can have disastrous effects on teacher credibility; however, the nature of computer-mediated communication allows teachers to determine how they appear on Facebook. In other words, teachers can strategically reveal pictures, quotes, and personal information that present them as competent and trustworthy instructors who have the students' best interests in mind. Scholars should explore how certain forms of mediated self-disclosure, such as photographs, personal beliefs, and relationship status, affects student perceptions of teacher credibility. Future research must also explore if a curvilinear relationship exists in terms of teacher self-disclosure on Facebook. In other words, can teacher self-disclosure reach an exceedingly high level and result in negative student perceptions?" -" In addition, scholars should examine how students' perceptions differ if teachers self-disclose on their university-housed personal websites or Facebook websites." *the area of sharing and the how of sharing is related. But will personal and professional social media accounts, and the level of sharing on each, also be affected?
