Twitter and the professional you!

Hi all,

Firstly, I would like to thank everyone for their response to this unit. I think it is safe to say that a lot of us have moved out of our comfort zones and in to new territory. You are all doing so well – the level of engagement is fantastic, and I think we are all benefiting from it.

Now, we had a mixed response to Twitter. And that is fine. Remember, different people like to get information in different ways. (I’m looking forward to your feedback on Pinterest next week!) I did, however, want to pass on an article which may be of interest to those of you who intend to keep your Twitter account active, and who might want to use it to network with others in the industry (even if this isn’t you, I urge you to take a quick look at the article).

You can view the article here. I agree with most of these points. If nothing else, adding ‘library student’ to your profile is probably a good idea.

While I was browsing, I also came across this article on privacy tips for librarians. There are some interesting things in this article as well.

As always, interested in your opinion. I have some passwords to change.
