So lately I've been really trying to follow how Twitter is being used in the libraries. This didn't happen by chance, trust me. I am not a tweeter (or twit, as I like to call them) I was kind of forced in to this project in my Selection and Acquisition of Non Book Materials class. Anyway, here's my summary (after learning twitter in and out and following many many major libraries, etc)
1. Twitter is being used most effectively by PUBLIC libraries. They use it as a marketing tool, to get people into the library.
2. UB's tweets are boring and lame.
3. Did you know that Library of Congress is archiving every tweet?! That's more than 50 million tweets a day!
4. Twitter is really influential- moreso around the world than in the US.
That's it for now :) Happy day in Library Land...
