Institution & Audience

 Platforms, standards
 Access issues
 Patrons are different
 Usage
 Professional hesitancy
 Work/life balance
Branding
 A brand is a promise delivered. It is your reputation and
your legacy. Branding is the practice of producing trust
and is at the heart of all marketing endeavors. When we
market our services or organization, we do so with a
promise to meet or exceed the expectations of the
audience who must find us relevant.
-Linda Citroen, LIDA360

 How do you want to be known
 Control the message
 Monitor “your” feeds
 Tweetdeck/Hootsuite, Googling, Analytics
 Lockdown, Avoid, or Alter Ego
 Facebook, Instagram, Twitter
Choosing a Persona
 Are you the library
 Official voice

 Keep it consistent
 http://namechk.com
“What's in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet.”
― William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet

patrons
Engagement in Specials

them

 Legal issues, trade news/trends, grants
 Encourage Feedback
 Solicit comments on feeds
 Tamiflu new snake oil?
 Have policy, try for anonymous
Evaluate & Adjust

 RTs, Likes, Shares, Google Analytics, etc.
 Feedback
 Analyze successful posts, duplicate?
 Posting strategies
 Shedule, topics, popular feeds
 Remain on top of institutional issues
 Different from PR/Marketing arm
 Changes in IntRAnet to IntERnet or private/public
