This document summarizes a staff development workshop for Midlothian Libraries on the current state of the internet and social media. It discusses how user-generated content has led to an explosion of data across many different social media platforms like Facebook, Google, Twitter and LinkedIn. It emphasizes that librarians should be aware of various search engines and online resources, guide users to where online conversations are happening, and consider how to rethink traditional library services and spaces in light of new technologies and user behaviors.
