Through social media technology and more specifically through keeping a library blog, we'll be using another tool to market our libraries and promoting appropriate library services according to the needs of our communities. As a spin off it may also blossom into a higher rating of our libraries, be they public, academic, or school libraries. So it is thumbs up for Brooklyn Library and I say, let's blog :)Growing with ICThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06739704985866712169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826100399399957187.post-24766712703119357262013-03-13T02:42:39.685-07:002013-03-13T02:42:39.685-07:00Yes, blooging can become quite a time consuming ex...Yes, blooging can become quite a time consuming exercise, depending on the impact it has made to the community you serve. IN your situation, being on a campus, you could expect to have quite a few followers. The idea of sharing the responsibility would be a good one so that it does not consume too much time of one individual. In our case, at Brooklyn Library, we sort of started a blog. We have one staff member giving it attention, basically trying to get it off the ground. Later we will look at having other staff contribute to it, so that it becomes more of a team blog rather than an individual blog.<br />In an academic enviroment your focus will be so much more different to a public library.<br />Gibbs Blogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07067406616993566362noreply@blogger.com
