Minimizing Social Media to Maximize Library Values
eLearning
Webinar
While social media is an unavoidable reality of today's digital landscape, it has inherent conflicts with some of the core values of librarianship—including intellectual freedom and privacy. Indeed, many of the most important aspects of librarianship and public service are at odds with the defining characteristics of social media.
Is it worth reconsidering how we use this tool and examining its real and practical value for libraries, rather than the value attributed to it by Big Tech? Do we put our profession in an ethically compromised place by encouraging patrons to use social media platforms when we can communicate in other ways?
In this webinar, learn how a medium-sized public library in Montana minimized its social media use while still engaging with its community.
