The A-Z of social networking for librarians remodelled



Based on the The A-Z of Social Networking for Libraries, which didn't quite resonate with me, I've taken some of the alphabet and condensed it to:

Strategy - have a Social Media and Social Networking Strategy to provide direction

Brand - have a Social Media / Networking Brand

Engage - engage with your community; no matter their age or background

Regularity - be active and regular in your social media conversations

Technology - use Open Source platforms (Joomla, Koha), ubiquitous technologies (Mobile), and other emerging tools (widgets)

Formats - provide new and emerging formats (ebook, podcasts)

Tools - push your services through a variety of SN tools (podcasts, blogs, slideshare, Ustream, YouTube, FaceBook, IM, text messaging)

Enthusiasm - staff are involved and engaged with the 'online' community

Content - provide content of value to clients


... I'm not even going to try and make an anagram
