Reflecting on my progress with social media over the last couple of months, its been mixed. I still haven't gotten round to signing up for LinkedIn - a combination of time constrainsts and it seems like the least pertinent of the 'new media' I've looked at. I am, however, fairly addicted to Twitter. I am trying to lurk less and contribute more - grasping the fact that someone out there just might be interested in my mild ramblings. This is good timing as one of my objectives is to set up and run a twitter account for the LRC when I go back in September. With that in mind I have been following a number of school library accounts (rather than simply librarians as I usually do) to see what is tweeted. It is very interesting to see what different libraries retweet and push towards their students. But I my main aim is to strike the note between pertinent and fun. Watch this space to see how it goes...
