Digital Social Networking & Health Care EducationDominick Maino
Will learning in a socially interconnected, digital environment lead to a more personal approach toward acquiring knowledge? Will this allow our students to learn professionalism and ethics appropriately? Or will it all become a collection of online connected “National Enquirers” of sensationalism with a total lack of regard for personal privacy and standards expected from a more genteel and civilized society? Will the schools and colleges of optometry use cyber-socializing for research, student recruitment, and fund raising? It is obvious there are numerous questions. Who will do the research?
Beyond the Buzz: Planning Library Facebook Initiatives Grounded in User NeedsElizabeth Edwards
In 2007, the George Washington University's Gelman Library decided to take a step back from the buzz surrounding Facebook in order to ask a very important question: how do our students really use Facebook? Is there a place for the library in this social environment? This presentation will discuss the evolution of library Facebook initiatives in response to the results of this study, and will provide a framework for your own social networking campaign.
These are the social media media/marketing guidelines approved by Folsom Lake College in 2010. They are designed to help guide faculty, staff, and students in their use of social media.

Improving Workplace Safety Performance in Malaysian SMEs: The Role of Safety ...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: In the Malaysian context, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) experience a significant
burden of workplace accidents. A consensus among scholars attributes a substantial portion of these incidents to
human factors, particularly unsafe behaviors. This study, conducted in Malaysia's northern region, specifically
targeted Safety and Health/Human Resource professionals within the manufacturing sector of SMEs. We
gathered a robust dataset comprising 107 responses through a meticulously designed self-administered
questionnaire. Employing advanced partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) techniques
with SmartPLS 3.2.9, we rigorously analyzed the data to scrutinize the intricate relationship between safety
behavior and safety performance. The research findings unequivocally underscore the palpable and
consequential impact of safety behavior variables, namely safety compliance and safety participation, on
improving safety performance indicators such as accidents, injuries, and property damages. These results
strongly validate research hypotheses. Consequently, this study highlights the pivotal significance of cultivating
safety behavior among employees, particularly in resource-constrained SME settings, as an essential step toward
enhancing workplace safety performance.

56. Challenge 1:
NON-ENGAGEMENT
• The inability of the page to communicate and
create connections with users.
• The inevitable disinterest or apathy to the
page content. This is often demonstrated by
fewer than expected post-level activity.
• STRATEGY: To improve the content being
uploaded by making it more appealing to the
target audience.
57. Challenge 2:
NEGATIVE FEEDBACK
• posts from
the Library may incur negative feedback from a
number of users.
• Problems may arise when comments of users go
out of hand and they eventually quarrel on the
post.
• STRATEGY: Stricter policies for deleting
unwanted content on the fan page (such as
insulting or derogatory remarks) or unrelated
posts (e.g. spam, irrelevant posts).
58. Challenge 3:
PROBLEMATIC PROMOTION
PRACTICES
• Differences in approach to fan page activity may
become a setback.
• There have been instances of improper monitoring due
to staff multi-tasking and cases of inaccurate copy
material being uploaded (e.g. posts with factual or
grammatical errors) also become problems.
• STRATEGY: Planning is essential. Branding and image
building are two of the many considerations that may
be thought of during this stage. After planning, staff
members managing the page should be adequately
trained.
59. Challenge 4:
ENVIRONMENT CHANGES
• Theoretically, the current environment where the
Library operates is dynamic, and thus would
require constant adaptation.
• The Library fan page should always adapt to dull
times and slow days, when the Library does not
have anything new to promote.
• The need for creative ways to maintain an active
presence and user engagement would be a best
solution in these cases.
60. Challenge 5:
MARKET SATURATION
• The assumption that not all of the members of
the target audience have accounts in Facebook,
enjoy regular Internet connectivity and have
active online presences on the site.
• STRATEGY: A good practice to reach the highest
level of market saturation is to always make the
maximum audience awareness and engagement
as the end goal in every online activity.
62. Through the use of Facebook, marketing and
promotion of collections and events is further
enhanced.
• In the advent of information technology and its
capabilities of providing quick and easy access to
information, online activity has been a must for every
information seeker.
• Numerous library services can be offered on social
networking sites. Facebook is also a venue for user-
librarian interaction as it can accommodate likes,
comments, and shares.
63. UPD Library has found the possibility of
using Facebook to inform and publicize.
• In this paper, the University Library of the University of the
Philippines Diliman explored and has found the possibilities of
using Facebook as an effective tool to respond to user needs
and further publicize its resources and activities.
• It is envisioned that Philippine libraries adopt this innovative
online service model in the future as a response to the
growing need for information exchange, communication and
interaction, not only between users and libraries but also
between librarians and libraries themselves.
