INF506 social media library audience

  • Our purpose—the reason why we use the social web is to find people who “like” the library and give them a way to express it. We will use this platform to nurture that bond and move them from like to love. [Develop their passion.] We also want to enable them to share this experience and help bring others into this relationship.

    Another interesting insight on 'banning books' and reasons people want them off library shelves. I really don't think as a child this book had me harming my pop!

  • Why people online don’t read to the end.
  • 38 percent—are already gone
  • five are never going to scroll
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • wait a second, where are you guys going? You’re tweeting a link to this article already? You haven’t even read it yet!
  • readers can’t stay focused
  • relationship between scrolling and sharing. Schwartz’s data suggest that lots of people are tweeting out links to articles they haven’t fully read.
  • pages containing photos and videos—on those pages, people scroll through the whole page
  • whether people who are sharing links to articles on social networks are likely to have read the pieces they’re sharing.

    An interesting article Margaret. I had been thinking the same thing...I sometimes post articles and whilst I do have at least a quick view, I don't always read through to the end. The author calls it the age of skimming. I guess there are multiple reasons for it: time constraints for one. The author mentions how the small size of a mobile phone screen also affects the ability of people to read articles online - and people are increasingly accessing information/social networking sites on mobile phones. So they just skim...Thanks for sharing!

    I love this. It is so true. It goes to show you need interesting titles, the important info straight up, pics and/or videos and articles that are not too long.
