• With these social networking tools, it should be easier than ever to stay in
touch, organized, and well-connected with the users.
• Social media is used by libraries to deliver a blend of user service, news and
updates, content/collection promotion, dissemination of the institutions’
research output, provision of educational tools and resources and for
building relationships both within and outside of the institution.

32. Conclusion
• A wide range of social media channels are used, but as yet there is limited
differentiation between how they are used. Facebook, Twitter remains
dominant, but visual channels such as YouTube is rapidly on the rise. It is
clear that while the sophistication of social networking tools used and the
frequency of updates are important factors in presenting a strong online
presence, many agree that it is rather the quality and type of content posted,
the defined goals and plans, and an alignment of the needs and expectations
of the library users that leads to successful engagement.
