Hello everyone!

I am very pleased to be joining this discussion about Twitter as a tool in libraries. I actually have an interesting opportunity because I am working as a remote intern for Credo Reference this summer and my main focus is their Libraries Thriving community (http://www.librariesthriving.org)...which, obviously is not a physical library but is related to the library community. I recently started working on the social networking aspects of marketing the community and I just started using Twitter (@libsthriving) for this purpose. While the Facebook group and the LinkedIn group are interesting experiences for me as well, it's a little different with Twitter since I don't have a personal Twitter account and am therefore less than experienced with the tool. I'm finding that I've amassed followers by following others and I'm trying to create interesting little tweets to attract people to the Libraries Thriving community but I'm not sure how it's going. If you have any feedback on successful use of Twitter in this situation then please share and I am going to make use of all the advice that has been shared before I joined this group!

Thanks!

Library of Congress acquisition of the tweet archive got me thinking about cataloguing/classifying tweets and linking from library catalogues to tweet archives. I just wrote a short blog post about it.

Hi everyone,

Give libraries a boost of publicty on twitter on October 1st. On that day it is going to be #followalibrary day on twitter. We (me and 2 other Dutch collegues) want to ask everybody worldwide to make a tweet that day in which you tell what your favorite library on twitter is. Don't forget to start the tweet with the hastag: #followalibrary For more information or questions, you can go to: www.twitter.com/followalibrary

Right now I am making lists of libraries per couuntry. Does anyone know if there are already groups made on twitter with an overview of all libraries per country?

Thnx in advance!
Wilma

I hope you are all going to join in

Thx for the feedback. The few times I've tweeted about things digital (and not revolving around our library) I've gotten mixed responses from staff. Will keep experimenting.

My feeling is that you don't want students to follow you - which implies one way communication. What you have to do is start conversations. Social networking is a way to communicate differently. If you simply have press releases, or even (what you think) are interesting little tidbits, a few geeks will follow you, and the rest will ignore you. You have to determine how can you make your Twitter account a point of contact that offers something that students can't get by phone, email or in person.

I work in an academic library--how to get students to discover/follow us?

Just posted an entry about a Twitter experiment I've been tinkering with. http://library20.ning.com/profiles/blogs/twitter-experiment
