The document summarizes Sonja Plummer-Morgan's presentation on social media trends and the library profession. Some key points include:
1) Librarians need to act globally and collaboratively online just as people in the world are acting globally.
2) Social networks can be used by libraries to communicate, deliver information, and organize information as an extension of traditional services.
3) Popular social networks like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn provide opportunities for librarians to connect, share information, and market services.

Visitors and Residents: useful social media in librariesNed Potter
A keynote for the Interlend 2015 Conference. Blog post explaining these slides in more detail at: http://www.ned-potter.com/blog/visitors-and-residents-useful-social-media-in-libraries.
The Digital Natives myth is readily accepted but ultimately damaging. As students (and staff) come into our higher education system, to make blanket assumptions about their abilities with or understandings of technology based only on their date of birth is to do them a disservice.
An alternative way to explore peoples' use of the net is the Visitors and Residents model from Le Cornu and White (first brought to my attention by Donna Lanclos). I find this a proplerly useful way of thinking, which can help us as libraries provide geniunely useful social media for our users, whether they are in Visitor mode or Resident mode.
This presentation explores why the Digital Natives theory is a bust, introduces V&R, looks at the use of YouTube, Instagram, Twitter and Blogs by libraries, and provides links to more detailed papers on Digital Natives, Visitors and Residents, and other insightful viewpoints.

10 Social Media Myths any Local Government Should Know!Chris Bjorklund
2006 was about “What is social media” and “Why does it matter”.
2007 is about “How do I deploy social media”. Companies started to test it.
2008 was all about testing, failing and testing again to become wiser. Social Media is appearing in every industry. Dell came out as the winner.
In 2009 I believe that web marketing and social media is not about draining your budget or creating complicated strategies. It's about engaging your customers to improve sales. It's just that simple.
