We just wrapped up David Lee King’s ALA TechSource Workshop Facebook in the Library: Enhancing Services and Engaging Users. We had some great discussion during the event--here are some more questions to discuss. Whether you attended or not, feel free to join the conversation!
Questions from Today’s Event:
- What are key issues for deciding whether a library should have multiple Facebook pages, that is for different audiences, like children and families, or branches?
- Do you need to reach a certain level of followers or fans before Event pages make sense?
- What are your thoughts on offering reference service through Facebook?
The Preliminary Readings from Today’s Event:
