I am a big fan of Twitter. I don't post a lot, but I usually open it up at least once a day to see what's going on in my neighborhood and the world. If it weren't for Twitter, how would I ever have known about The Dress?
I have always planned on using Twitter in my library. What better way to keep students updated on what's going on in the library? Most of your students will be on Twitter, and it's a great way to bring your library to the forefront of their minds, even if it's only for a few seconds a day. Librarians can use Twitter to announce events, promote the library itself, and even recommend books. Using hashtags creates an additional way for students to interact with the school library, and following others connects your library to a worldwide network of school libraries, teachers, and authors.
Here is a great article on how to use hashtags on your library's twitter account!
I recently set up a librarian-specific Twitter account. I followed a lot of authors, book review & news sources, and fellow librarians. Check out my page here!
