Social Media Game

Personal Knowledge Management

NetIKX's first seminar of 2012 was its 3rd on the theme of social media in so many years.  Previous seminars have explored whether social media should be taken seriously, and how social media could be used to achieve organisational goals and the implications for organisational IM / KM policies and strategies.

"The course will give you umpteen reasons why you should know about social networking, internet tools and mobile technology. One of the biggest is that doing things online is no longer optional. It's an essential life skill, and you and those you serve in the library will face difficulties and frustrations without familiarity in using the internet. The internet is no longer simply a static information silo but the hub for a myriad of activities and this change has been evolving for well over a decade. So many tasks are done online, from applying for benefits, finding the telephone number of the local garage, applying for a job, booking cinema tickets, to keeping track of your friends' birthdays, and much more. This creates a number of challenges for library staff. Therefore, 23 Things for Public Libraries aims equip staff to create, access and advise upon anything from Blogs and Instant Messaging; QR codes, Wikis and eBooks, to the mobile version of your library's website and legal aspects to watch out for."
