Heard of Twitter and Facebook - maybe even tried them yourself - but not sure how your library could best use these popular tools? Starting this month, TSLAC is hosting a series of 3 free webinars on Using Social Media in the Library! Our presenter, Meg Canada, Senior Librarian & Social Media and Public Training Coordinator at Hennepin County Library (MN), will introduce you to the tools, explain their benefits for your library, discuss how to use and monitor them effectively, and showcase successful examples. The first webinar, "Getting Started with a Social Media Plan," is on Wednesday June 23, from 10 - 11 am (Central). Description: Learn about Twitter and Facebook and how they can fit into your library's outreach, marketing, and programming efforts. Meg will introduce the tools, the plans, and the questions you should answer before launching social media at your library. Sign up today!

Description: Wondering what people are saying about your library on Twitter or other social media platforms? Join Meg to learn about tools you can use to track and engage your customers (and non-customers). Meg will introduce tools, tips, and tricks for monitoring the Twitter-verse and other sites to capture what people are saying - the good, bad, and ugly and how you can respond. Sign up today!
