Hello, This past summer, I conducted the "Social Media Use in Archives and Special Collections" survey in order to find out what kinds of archives and special collections use social media, as well as how and why they use these platforms. I received 185 responses during the two weeks the survey was open, and the results proved to be very interesting. I have compiled the data into a PDF to share with the community, which you can find at rebeccahopman.com/resources. As a result of what respondents said in the survey, I created a series of one-page guides intended to help archivists and librarians use social media in their repository (also found at the above URL). I plan on creating more resources for both new and advanced social media users in the future. Please feel free to forward the survey results and guides to other members of the professional community, especially those who might not subscribe to this listserv. When sharing these resources, please provide a link back to my website. If you have any comments or questions, please contact me at rchopman at gmail.com. Sincerely, Rebecca Hopman rchopman at gmail.com rebeccahopman.com
