Social Media

Just like any technological or social advancement, social media comes with pros and cons. Many believe it to be the source of depression, anxiety, inattentiveness and more. However, when utilized for connecting readers, promoting the library program, offering online tools, and more, social media can be a great tool for librarians. So which one should you use for your library? I'll be looking at the big 3: Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. I've explored each one through the lens of how it could support the library program.

  YouTube (section finished) YouTube can be more than just a place to get lost watching cute cat videos for hours. When used effectively, it can be a helpful tool when building, maintaining, and promoting the library program. As a future librarian, I wanted to see how other professionals are using this platform to support the goals of the library program. I visited three channels belonging to school librarians. Here is how they are using YouTube: @theunquietlibrary The most helpful videos here include lessons on properly citing sources when using them in academic writing.

Comics have gotten a bad reputation over the years, but more and more research is pointing to the fact that comics can be read and created as a way to understand the world- just like any other type of media. I tried out three comic-creator websites that are free and safe to use. Here is what I learned: Fotojet (https://www.fotojet.com/features/misc/photo-comic.html) This site was a bit confusing to use- took some orienting to the editing tool. One click made a huge menu pop up, which got in the way of seeing the design. It was also a little tricky without an undo button. I accidentally deleted an entire frame, and I couldn’t get it back, which is why the last pane doesn’t have a border around the picture. Also, when I was finished creating, I clicked the wrong button (though I’m not sure which it was) and the site thought I was trying to leave. I could see this being a source of potential confusion and frustration for students, but I am also sure they would figure out how to navigate t...
