Although I am concerned about social media further damaging our democracy and eroding our privacy, I do have hope that with skilled, caring librarians on the scene, that the power of social media can be harnessed for good! #INFO246w82
Young mentions that a successful social media campaign measures "community growth, community engagement, and connectedness." A good place to start measuring these factors is with platforms' built-in analytics. #info246w719
@emm_el_eye_ess@webmastergirl Hi Mendie,
Thanks for sharing this great resource. As a social media newbie, it is super helpful to have a breakdown of the different platforms.

@smith_jirah I agree that libraries need to be proactive in educating their communities about online privacy. Community libraries should develop programs to protect elderly populations, and school libraries need a robust digital citizenship curriculum to help educate young students.
@RichardsDharma Yes, libraries need to be proactive about educating their users about personal privacy protections. Libraries also need to be tranparent about their privacy policies.
Libraries need to have transparent privacy policies accessible on the organization's website. The Alameda County Library system has a detailed policy, but one has to search for it. San Leandro Public Library, where is yours? #INFO246w75
@smith_jirah Although I have used the San Leandro Public Library's website, I have never really checked out their social media feeds until now. They also have a monthly newsletter sent via email that provides targeted information on events and booklists. #INFO246w621, #SanLeandroLib
@latinxbiblio @laplphotos This is such a good way to promote a library's digital photo collection! I love how the lapl is connecting a community's past to its present.
TL's in my district must advertise their programs to the community. Social media is the best way to share the amazing work we are doing. #INFO246w621
