About the Event
Location-based social networks (LBSN) created a powerful backdrop for sharing information this past “Arab Spring.” No doubt they will play a major role in the 2012 elections. While use of LBSN services in libraries is new, there are clear starting points and opportunities for those who want to find additional ways to interact with users.
This one-hour webinar will:
- Outline and demonstrate the first steps to using location-based social networks in your library
- Review user trends and growth in use of location-based social networks
- Share case studies of library use of location-based social networks
- Demonstrate library-tailored location-based services
At the end of the webinar, attendees will be able to:
- Identify the leading location-based services in use
- Define a strategy for getting your library identified in key geo-mapping services
- Know leading social media tracking services for staying current with trends
- Be able to find their own library and others in location-based social networks
Cost: no charge
