Are Social Media Websites Harmful To The Youth?Evan Atkinson
This study was done to determine if social media websites negatively affect the youth of America. Many young people in the United States have accounts on social media websites such as Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace and studies have shown that these websites can have negative affects. With so many young people using these social media sites, studies on the negative affects should surely be done. After conducting a survey, and analyzing many secondary academic resources I determined that in fact the youth could be negatively affected by these social media websites. They are negatively affected in many different ways such as them being addictive, and distracting in an academic environment, but also can affect the youth negatively in several other ways. After coming to these conclusions, I am certain that more studies need to be done on this issue, so we can reverse some of the negative aspects of social media websites, and find a way to be able to use them in the best possible way.
Social Media Use and Junior High School Student’s Academic Performance in the...ijtsrd
This descriptive correlational study was conducted to determine the social media utilization and its effects on student’s academic performance in selected secondary schools in the Division of Northern Samar. This study utilized purposive sampling in determining the 1,144 Grade 10 student respondent from the following schools in Northern Samar Balicuatro area Allen National High School, San Isidro Agro Industrial High School, The majority of the students own only one 1 social media account. The findings also revealed that the students had good academic performance in all subjects, namely English, Mathematics, Science, Filipino, Araling Panlipunan, MAPEH, ESP, and TVE. This resulted in an overall proficient academic performance. It was also found out that the best positive effect of using social media is its effectiveness in communicating with their friends. On the other hand, one of the prominent negative effects of social media on students is that social media is addictive and a challenge that affects their academic life. The findings also revealed that the profile and the social media utilization have no significant relationship with the students’ academic performance. The top school related problem that emerged is the reduced learning and research capabilities when utilizing social media. In general, the school related problems encountered by the students using social media were described as very alarming. The top personal problem is that in social media, the students are more prone to cyber bullying. In general, the personal problems encountered by the students using social media were described as very alarming.

Social Media Adoption among the Banking Sector in Sri Lanka: Paper presented ...Parakum Pathirana
Despite social media having a remarkable success in many parts of the world in different contexts such as promoting brands to changing state leaders, the adoption by the banking sector to provide financial services remains relatively low across many parts of the world.
Many banking customers are still reluctant to consume financial services via social media. In fact, how banks should adopt social media still remains unanswered, possibly due to the fluidity of social media compared to the rigidness of the banking sector. The aim of this paper is to devise a framework to better understand the determinants of social media adoption among the banking sector based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM).

Your Friendly Neighborhood CTSI: How Clinical Translation Science Institutions Are Harnessing the Power of Social Media
This is a poster on all the CTSAs located within the Medical Libraries Association Midwest Chapter states.
One of the key functions of the Clinical Translation Science Awards (CTSAs) is to encourage and enhance community engagement, creating ways for researchers and community members to learn from one another. This poster takes a look at which CTSAs are using social media (Twitter, Facebook, etc.) as part of their community engagement efforts, with a focus on what Midwest CTSAs are doing.
Methods: A broad picture of which Midwest CTSAs are doing what will be captured, using freely available tools for making word clouds and tracking Twitter history (such as first posts), looking at Facebook profiles, and exploring community
engagement websites. A general list of all CTSA social media efforts will also be captured and presented.
Goals: The main purpose of this poster is to alert Midwest medical librarians to the community engagement efforts of their community CTSAs. Librarians interested in social media may be able to learn from the CTSA efforts. In addition, the librarians may be able to offer additional support to their CTSAs, providing resources and creating partnerships. Medical libraries serve the same communities that the CTSAs are trying to reach; being aware of the other group’s efforts may open channels for communication, the exchange of ideas, and the creation of best practices.
Building and Managing Social Media CollectionsJason Casden
Presenters:
Laura Wrubel
Jason Casden
Presented at DLF Forum 2015 on October 27th, 2015.
As venues for discourse and creation, social media platforms such as Twitter and Instagram are important source material for scholarly research. Future access to social media data will allow researchers to develop historical assessments based on materials representing the voices of a large and diverse set of participants. Much of this critical and ephemeral content may be lost if cultural heritage institutions are not collecting and preserving it, yet creating and managing these collections presents challenges around collecting mechanisms, curation, legal and ethical issues, and preservation.
This workshop will include the following components:
• A review of technical tools for collecting and guidelines for selecting an approach that works best for your institution and users
• A guided discussion of ethical and legal considerations in taking on this work and parallels with established archival practices
• A review of some existing use cases of libraries' social media data collecting followed by a group discussion of possible community-specific use cases and needs for supporting services.
• A demonstration of possible archival collecting workflows using NCSU Libraries' Social Media Combine collecting system (which includes NCSU Libraries' lentil system for Instagram harvesting and George Washington University's Social Feed Manager for Twitter harvesting). Participants who wish to follow along with their own instance may install it ahead of time.
Participants will leave with an awareness of the major components of a new social media collecting program, including available tools, research use cases, ethical and legal considerations, supporting resources, as well as a better understanding of how to integrate social media into existing practices and workflows. There will be opportunities to share collecting ideas with each other at the end of the workshop.
EducationUSA Virtual & Social Media Report 2013Marty Bennett
Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter—these are just a few of the tools EducationUSA advisers are using around the world to help international students learn about and connect with educational opportunities at U.S. universities and colleges. Even in the more remote and less populated areas, social media is playing a stronger role each day in making those connections. EducationUSA is a U.S. Department of State-supported
network of more than four hundred advising centers in 170 countries around the world.
Each year, EducationUSA advisers provide millions of international students with accurate, comprehensive, and current information about how to apply to U.S.
colleges and universities. EducationUSA staff also work with U.S. higher education professionals to promote international student recruitment. Virtual outreach is a vital component to this endeavor. This report focuses on the successes of the
EducationUSA network’s global virtual outreach in 2013, including a review of the most commonly used social media, video channels, and micro/ traditional blogs.
4. Executive Summary
The following social media plan concentrates on the social media platforms, Twitter and
SnapChat in conjunction with The University of Tennessee, Knoxville’s social accounts.
This plan responds to the stated objectives to increase student-generated content and
improve student engagement in regards to campus beauty by using hashtags and
campaign images. Through key insights gained during primary and secondary research,
this social media plan suggests innovative ideas to encourage more interaction with
campaigns on Twitter and the implication of SnapChat into the university’s social media
plan.
A detailed situation analysis is included in this document that provides insights into other
universities that have strong Twitter and SnapChat presence. Additionally, more
information on the origin and basis of the ‘Least Beautiful’ list is included. Following the
situation analysis, a summary of the research collected from 75 current students focuses
on their personal use of social media platforms, their opinions of current UT social media
content, and overall attitude of campus beauty.
With the data collected from current students, detailed strategies and tactics were
created. These tactics involve using new hashtags on the Twitter and SnapChat platforms
that cater to the target audience and encourage interaction. Additionally, a
recommendation for an emerging social platform is included and can be used in
conjunction with the university’s current social channels. Lastly, an evaluation is
integrated into the social media plan that provides details on how the strategies and
tactics listed will satisfy the client’s objectives.
5. Situation Analysis

6. Background on the ‘Least Beautiful’ List
For years, The University of Tennessee, Knoxville has been ranked in the top 20 ‘Least
Beautiful’ campuses. According to The Princeton Review, UT is currently ranked number
11 on the ‘Least Beautiful’ campus list.5 Founded in 1981, The Princeton Review has been
a leader in helping college-bound students obtain their goals.2 In 1992 The Princeton
Review expanded by releasing its first edition of its Best Colleges book.6 After conducting
thorough research, findings indicate that the earliest article including UT on the ‘Least
Beautiful’ list dates back to 2008.7 However, there is no definite date as to when UT was
officially first introduced onto the ‘Least Beautiful’ campus list.
How The Princeton Review Ranks Schools
Every year The Princeton Review compiles
62 college rankings lists that are based on
what students attending the schools in The
Princeton Review’s Best Colleges book say
about their college experience. This is done
through a student survey consisting of 80
questions divided up into four sections:
· Their school’s academics/administration
· Life at their college
· Their fellow students
· Themselves
Students’ provide feedback by selecting answer choices ranging from “Excellent” to
“Awful” or “Extremely” to “Not at All.”
The Princeton Review surveys 130,000 students from the 379 schools in its Best Colleges
book. On average this amounts to 343 students per school.
Schools that are selected to be in The Princeton Review’s top 20 list are, “…. Those that
which the surveyed students (as a group) indicated a very high consensus of opinion about
that topic.”
The Most and Least Beautiful Campus lists are based on The Princeton Review’s student
survey question: “How do you rate the beauty of your campus?”8
7. The Library Picture
Whenever the University of Tennessee,
Knoxville is mentioned in the media it
has been attached to a photo of Hodges
Library, which is not considered the most
beautiful spot on campus. The photo that
has been circulating originates from a
picture posted in 2010 from the Flickr
page Wyoming_Jackrabbit. However, the
identification of the poster is unknown.8
Other Publications Where UT is Mentioned as a ‘Least Beautiful’
Campus
• Travel and Leisure Magazine
• Unigo.com
• Campus Squeeze
• Complex
• And various other publications that copy the Princeton Review lists
o Example: Huffington Post

Audiences
The University of Tennessee, Knoxville’s audience on social media includes three different
kinds of students: prospective, current, and alumni. In the past year, 13,768 prospective
students applied to UTK. As of Fall 2014, there were 21,451 undergraduate students and
5,959 graduate students. As of May 2014, there were over 225,000 alumni.9
9. SnapChat
Currently, the University of Tennessee
campus does not have an official
SnapChat. However, various parts of
campus have been utilizing the SnapChat
application. The Volunteer football team
has been using SnapChat to give fans an
inside look at practices and games. Also
on April 8, 2015, Snapchat released the
Rocky Top geofilter. A freshman UT
student created the Rocky Top geofilter.
Anyone can submit a geofilter as long as
they do not feature trademarks or logos.
Then SnapChat will decide if the geofilter
is used based on creativity. If a geofilter
is not creative enough SnapChat will not
feature it.10
Twitter
The school is very active on its @UTKnoxville Twitter account, especially in regard to
responding to prospective students. A good portion of the tweets generated on the account
include tweets centering on congratulating individuals personally on admission,
responding to the needs of current students, and even wishing “Happy Birthday” messages
to Vols from all over. What is interesting however is when the University responds to
messages, they generate a separate tweet to respond. They mention the person later in the
tweet, which in return goes on the news feed of every individual who follows the
University. Another aspect the account is focused on is retweeting other UT organizations
or colleges about events that are happening on campus or within the athletic department.
Lastly, the university is not verified on Twitter like some other universities. Rather they
include the line “The official Twitter of the University of Tennessee, Knoxville” in their bio
with a direct link to their website.

13. Research
Method
A questionnaire was produced by the researchers was given to current UT Knoxville
students who are active on social media. The questionnaire was posted on Qualtrics and
distributed via electronic mail and social media starting on February 19, 2015. After the
data was collected it was entered in Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) to
analyze the numbers given.
Participants
The sample was composed of 75 participants. All participants were current students at the
University of Tennessee, Knoxville who are active on social media.
The sample consisted of:
• 48 females
• 27 males
• 4 freshmen
• 15 sophomores
• 25 juniors
• 30 seniors
• 1 graduate student
Participant Feedback and Recommendations
Participants were asked, “What content would you like to see on the UT Twitter account?”
Answers included, event promotion, focus on current students, and student spotlights.
Students stated that they were not aware events on campus were taking place until after
the event had already passed. Tweeting and Snapping about the event would increase
engagement with students on campus. By utilizing a student run Twitter page, UT would
increase student interactions, while also promoting and informing more students of
campus events. Congratulating students on their achievements would increase student
motivation to be featured on the official UT Twitter and SnapChat accounts. Using UT’s
SnapChat story fame will be an incentive for students to provide positive content to the
account.

20. Recommendations
Jonathan Wegener and Benny Wong developed Timehop in 2011. Timehop is an IOS
application that works in connection with other social media platforms. The application
provides digital data from social accounts that corresponds to an individual’s day in
history. The application compiles daily tweets, Facebook status updates, Instagram
photos, and other past social media posts. The application is rapidly growing and has 15
million registered users, and 7 million daily users.11
This emerging channel would be extremely beneficial for The University of Tennessee to
utilize in repurposing past content. These posts can be used in conjunction with the
#FunFactFriday and #ThrowbackThursday campaigns that educate students the campus’
rich history. One example of this would be, “3 years ago today, our beloved Rock was
moved to its new location.” Attached to this tweet would be an accompanying picture of
the Rock being moved. By highlighting the history of the university, areas on campus
could be highlighted as well. This will help promote campus beauty through the opulent
history of the university.
Interesting Findings
Recent research was done to see how the university’s social media channels have changed
since the original research was conducted. The chart below displays what was found.
Basically all channels saw an increase in followers, likes, etc. except Facebook, which saw
a decrease of 10,000 likes.
21. Evaluation
The first objective given by the client focused on increasing positive student-generated
content on the university’s social media platforms. By implementing SnapChat as a social
channel, the university will begin to nurture relationships with prospective, current, and
past students. The university’s SnapChat would encourage students to send their own
content that could be featured in the official UT SnapChat story. Additionally, if the
university implemented a student run Twitter account it would be rewarding dedicated
students while also providing content through the eyes of the students.
The second objective noted by the client concentrated on improving student engagement
with the university’s social media platforms. The university could improve engagement by
using campaign hashtags and images in relation to the campus. By applying the social
media campaigns the university will be able to highlight campus locations, create positive
engagement, and foster relationships with all audiences. One example in the social media
plan is the #DiscoverBeaUTy Twitter campaign. Students can post their own pictures of
campus by using the hashtag, this will display the university in a positive light while also
providing evidence that UT is undeserving of the ‘Least Beautiful’ list.
The last objective focused on connecting more with current students through the
promotion of on-campus events. With the university implementation of SnapChat, event-
centered campaigns and exclusive geofilters students will be more informed and engaged
with the university.
