This was for a workshop on social media at the 2014 National Acquisitions Group conference in York (3rd-4th September). The presentation is comprised of a short section on using social media and the internet in general, followed by some group work on particular social media tools.
The slides containing lists of interesting examples of social media use in libraries were used to prompt groups to look at the content posted on each of the accounts focusing particularly on style and content. The intention was then to prompt ideas as to how people can use social media within their own workplaces.
