Create!: A Social Media Program for Young AdultsProject Outline Amy Ashmore LIBR 559M August 9, 2010
Introduction 		This is in outline for a series of public library programs that will encourage young adults (13-18) to express themselves through the creation and sharing of their own digital content using social media applications. Through this program, young people will learn about the use of social media tools, and develop knowledge and strategies that will allow them to use these tools effectively and safely in order to gather information, create original content, and share that content with others.
Purpose (part 1) 		Engaging young adults in the library is a challenge for any public librarian working with this age group. This program series will help to bring young people into the library, and provide them with new ways to think about gathering, using, and producing information. The program is intended to encourage young people to take an active role in the production of digital information and content, allowing them to express themselves and how they view the world around them.
Purpose (part 2) 		Through this series of programs, young people will learn about and share their expertise in using a variety of social media applications, providing opportunities to act as both learner and teacher. The programs will allow young people to learn about some of the constraints and issues concerning social media use, including privacy and copyright concerns. Participants will have the opportunity to experiment with a variety of tools, create their own original content, and share that content with others.
Goals Encourage young adults to use the library Encourage young adults to see the library in a new way – a place where information can be found and produced in a whole variety of ways Allow young adults to learn about a variety of social media tools and applications Allow young adults to share their knowledge of social media tools and applications Allow young adults to explore how social media tools can be used for information seeking, information sharing, and the creation of original content.
