This document discusses ways for librarians to establish an online presence through social networking. It encourages librarians to blog about library-related topics, engage with others on Twitter and Facebook, participate in online discussions, write articles, speak at online conferences, and develop resources for other librarians. Some specific social media that are mentioned include blogging platforms, Twitter, Facebook, library email lists, online journals, and virtual library organization committees. The document provides tips for an effective online presence, such as sharing interesting information, engaging in conversations, having an authentic personality, and doing things to help other librarians rather than just to gain personal attention.
