The ACT ® Mastery and MasteryKeys programs are support structures for principals and district administrators throughout the country.

Our programs are uniquely effective; in fact, our ACT ® Mastery program provides an average three-point increase in student scores in an institutional setting.

There's a quiet-or not so quiet-shift happening in school libraries across America. The social media revolution-reflected in all manner of shiny iPhone apps, blogs, Nings, Facebook pages, and other social networking tools, sites, and platforms-is real, and it's running like a loud line of students straight through the stacks, into the common areas, taking a sharp turn, and heading right on up to the teacher librarian/media specialist's desk.

Facebook. Flickr. Google+. Pinterest. Tumblr. Twitter. Yelp. The list of social networking sites is almost endless, bringing huge potential (and some headaches) to librarians nationwide. Will libraries continue to be able to keep up with the rapid- almost instantaneous-changes in technology and social networking? The consensus is: Yes.

The webinar will allow participants to: critically examine common practices associated with use of social media tools in the library; learn how to incorporate social media strategies into marketing plans effectively, understanding the capabilities of different channels and how they can be tailored to suit your library's individual needs; understand how trends in librarianship affect social media usage, how use of social media can vary by job role, and how you can transfer this knowledge to enhance the effectiveness of your role.
