something to tweet about

An article in Information Outlook, Something to Tweet About spoke of the need for information professionals to network about the new ideas and challenges of the profession. From the comfort of your laptop or smartphone, you can join conversations on Facebook or Twitter about copyright, social media, or effective powerpoint. These forms of communication make it easier than ever to stay connected to other info professionals in the field. As a coincidence, FLA is hosting a Shadowing event this week where public libraries tweet about a day in the life. The objective is to show students in LIS programs, and those interested in joining the profession what it is like to work in a library.
