Wednesday, April 7, Catherine Lavallée-Welch will present on the usage of Twitter by academic libraries at the Florida Library Association Annual Conference in Orlando. This is one of a four-part presentation that’s also covering the social media tool’s technological aspects, the role it plays for outreach and its use in public libraries. The other presenters are Susan Ariew and Gina Clifford of the USF Tampa Library, and Britta Krabill of the West Palm Beach Public Library.
You didn’t know that the USF Poly Library was on Twitter? Follow us at @usfplib!
