Hi Gary, I'm just letting you know that I have completed my blog. Please check it out and tell me what you think. I hope I've done good

The two Social Media Tools I think would be of most benefit to a library are: Facebook: Using Facebook can be an effective way for academic libraries to connect with their user community. By posting updates on Facebook, libraries can inform their users about the library’s programmes and services. They can invite students to attend training sessions, post practical information about the library’s opening times, link to new and existing print and online resources, and update the university community about any new developments. 'Followers' can engage with the library by commenting on posts and sharing them with their friends. LinkedIn: STRENGTHEN AND PROMOTE COLLABORATION The projects, endorsements and publications sections are particularly valuable as they promote and celebrate networking and collaboration as we are encouraged to cite the  involvement and contribution of colleagues, strengthening the linkages we make, or have already made, wit...

I commented on Gary's social media blog. I said: I'm Jamie. I have lived in Sydney's Inner West all my life. I really enjoy Library and Information Studies and the Multimedia/Social Media subjects are my absolute favourite subjects.

The changes that I made were: Click on edit in the Navbar Gadget and configured the colour to Transcendent Light. I configured the header to include a description about the blog. I added a picture of a dog paw behind the title and description. On Sidebar-right-1 I switched the Blog Archive and Contributors around. I also edited the Footer Attributions to include Jamie De Paulo 2017 and to have a picture of a lion. Then I clicked on Save Arrangement.

I clicked on Themes in the bottom left hand corner. Then I clicked Customise also in the bottom left hand corner. My blog was the on first Brown Watermark and then I changed it to the second Blue Picture Window. Then I clicked Apply to blog in the top right hand corner.

Social Media Considerations/ Issues Trust : The common thread across almost all of these threats is the tremendous amount of trust users have in these social applications. Like e-mail, when it hit the mainstream, or instant messaging when it became ubiquitous, people trust links, pictures, videos and executables when they come from "friends," until they get burned a few times. Social applications haven't burned enough people yet. The difference with social networks is that the entire purpose of them is to share -- a lot -- which will result in a steeper learning curve for users. Translation -- you'll have to get burned a few more times. Do Not Over Post : Are you tweeting every 5 minutes of the day? Are you posting Facebook updates every hour? You are going to lose friends and followers very easily if you keep that up. If all you are doing is clogging up your friends’ feeds then you will immediately develop a reputation as a spammer regardless of what you are post...
