A new future is coming to education. Online shopping, searching and social networks came first-education is next. OCLC's newest user perceptions study, iAt a Tipping Point: Education, Learning and Libraries/i, explores how empowered consumers, fueled by economic incentives, are using online learning platforms and MOOCs to set new expectations for education-and for libraries. The report explores the behaviors, perceptions and motivations of online learners: how they are evaluating the cost/value trade-offs of higher education, how they are using and succeeding with online education-and their use and perceptions of the library.

Social media policies provide clear guidelines for staff posting on behalf of the library and on their personal accounts and standards for acceptable use by library users. The article outlines what should be included in a social media policy and suggests looking at other organisation's social media policies for best practice. The importance of revising the policy when technological changes occur is also stressed. Unfortunately some of the links to examples of policies are no longer available.

Using Facebook can be an effective way for academic libraries to connect with their user community. By posting updates on Facebook, libraries can inform their users about the library's programmes and services. They can invite students to attend training sessions, post practical information about the library's opening times, link to new and existing print and online resources, and update the university community about any new developments.
