Libraries are under pressure to connect with patrons. Technology may just be the key we need to help up do that.
When staff and funding are tight, then is the time to start doing things differently. Because of technology , libraries can use the latest tools to connect with patrons. After all we are in the 21 st century. Why not pull out all the stops we can to get patrons using our resources and programs.
But wait- why do we have to connect? We want to match patrons to the books and information they want and need . We want to free up routine tasks that staff spend time on so they can interact with patrons and help them achieve their goals.
As library staff we need to determine how we can use our website, face book page , or a twitter to excite and draw interest with our comments, questions, and interests. So let's get thinking, What other social media can we use? Instragram, Pinterest? Q Codes? What can we do with them?
I would love to hear what your library does to help connect and pull in patrons Comment below and share how you use social media to create patron interest and participation,
