What we talk about when we talk on Twitter - #irelibchat

This document discusses Twitter chats, specifically #irelibchat, which is a conversation among librarians in Ireland that takes place on Twitter. It is summarized as follows: 1) #irelibchat allows librarians to have conversations in real-time using Twitter to discuss topics like career development, information literacy, and publishing research. 2) The chats encourage participation, sharing, discovery, and community building among librarians within the 140 character limit of tweets. 3) #irelibchat has been running since June 2012 and covers a variety of topics to engage librarians and brainstorm ideas.
