An antidote to futility: Why academics (and students) should take blogging / social med... - 4 views

  •  
    Blogs are now an established part of the chattersphere/public conversation, especially in international development circles, but Duncan Green finds academic take-up lacking. Here he outlines the major arguments for taking blogging and social media seriously. It doesn't need to become another onerous time-commitment. Reading a blog should be like listening to the person talk, but with links.

Social Media FOR Schools: Strategy, Platforms, Shareable Content | Silvia Tolisano- Lan... - 2 views

  •  
    Focus is on creating meaningful, and shareable content for schools. The focus is on how to use social media and create social media rather than focusing on negative and how not to behave. Schools needs to consider both social media for schools to market the ethos of the school but also how social media is used in schools by staff and students.

Facebook for libraries - 4 views

  •  
    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.

    Use of facebook by libraries does work and if kept current gets regular followers. It was good to see that we are doing many of the suggested things and also contained some ideas to be considered and applied. Here is ours https://www.facebook.com/pmhclibrary/
