I hope the future of social media is one that increases equity & removes barriers. Social robots, healthcare devices, the Loon balloon, and VR/AR in medicine make me optimistic for a future where technology and social media are used to create a happier world. #INFO246w81

@WattsInANameSJS As a proud lurker, I feel represented and heard! We're out here!

[tgmlis @tgmlis]

couldn't help but think of Wendy's Twitter when reading "teens like quirky and random content" 😂

[Wendy’s @Wendys]

Shout out to all the zero like ratio tweets out there just existing, living the life they want instead of the one they were told to.

In my area, demographic metrics would help libraries measure their attempts to reach new refugees. Facebook Insights' language tracking could help our libraries gain a better understanding of these community members, their info needs, and how best to reach them #INFO246w718

[tgmlis @tgmlis]

@laceykatx Totally agree! The distinction between “reach” and “engagement” can be very informative. I like how you positioned this around seeing value in the content. That highlights the head & heart dichotomy of web 2.0 🧠💕

[tgmlis @tgmlis]

@sjsu_chelsea This is such a great point! I didn’t realize that grant funding could be a reason for such questions on card applications. Can certainly see how this could be invasive, especially for young people. Do under 18 apps ask for gender, too?

@DrLarrySJSU While this was coming from a good place, she wanted to better serve this population, I didn't feel comfortable turning the history on without getting informed consent. Which was hard to get! But we never know someone's history or how data could be used against them 🤔

[tgmlis @tgmlis]

@DrLarrySJSU Opt-in indeed! Working with patrons with memory loss in care facilities presented some issues for me. Patrons often couldn't remember what they had read and my trainer told me to automatically turn the history on so we could identify books patrons hadn't read. (1/2)

[tgmlis @tgmlis]

52% of US adults have opted out of a product due to privacy concerns (Pew). Libraries are a beacon of privacy with an ethical responsibility to protect patron data. Libraries must fully understand how patron data is used by vendors, such as Libby, to ensure privacy is maintained.

@DrLarrySJSU following up from this week’s VoiceThread, #amreading and #booktwt or #BookTwitter seem to be the most popular hashtags to share current reads!

[tgmlis @tgmlis]

@cerebro_errante @LACountyLibrary it’s also great to see the ALT text on all these pics!

[tgmlis @tgmlis]

@SydneySJSU totally! SPL is GREAT at keeping up with it. I think it started in 2020 and I see it every week. I admire their commitment, lol!

[tgmlis @tgmlis]

My community engages in a creative campaign on social media to promote new reads and programming. Each week sees #bookfacefriday where staff complete a book cover in a photo. Posts highlight inclusive reads and encourage viewers to get involved. #INFO246w620

[Spokane Public Library @spokanelibrary]

Have a great summer, students! If you're looking for cool events throughout the summer, we have Summer Reading activities, challenges, and programs that are guaranteed to be a fun time. #BookfaceFriday

[tgmlis @tgmlis]

@eluc_mlis yes! totally agreed!

[tgmlis @tgmlis]

#info246w620 🤔 what do y’all think?

[Buffy the Billionaire Slayer @thememeinglib]

Imagine you’re on a date and you ask them what their favorite book is. What book is a green flag?

[tgmlis @tgmlis]

@WattsInANameSJS Funny library memes are my favorite! Library Twitter seems to be a safe, fun, and inclusive environment that aims to bring positivity to viewers. @thememeinglib is a great follow!

[tgmlis @tgmlis]

Social media is also used to share important information on accessing library services including hours and branch closures #INFO246w620

[Spokane County Library District @SpCoLibraryDist]

Reminder: All Spokane County Library District libraries are closed today in observance of Juneteenth. Normal hours will resume tomorrow, 6/21.

[tgmlis @tgmlis]

@SydneySJSU Thank you! This was in April, which is unseasonably late for snow. We’ve had some strange weather this year!

[tgmlis @tgmlis]

Hi all! My name is Tobi, and I live in Spokane, WA. Spokane is on the east side of WA state, 15 min from Idaho. We get all 4 seasons, including winter! #INFO246w66

@cindytrang_sjsu Hi Cindy! 👋🏼 Nice to meet you! I grew up down in Diamond Bar but moved out of state. Garden Grove was always my favorite place to get pho. It’s $17 a bowl where I live now ��
