I currently work in the 6th Form Library at a London secondary school and feel that Facebook and Twitter would be great to promote library resources and engage with our students. Both these websites however are banned for students onsite, which is understandable. For this reason I have set up a Wordpress blog/Online Resource site for our students to use.
I have a personal Facebook account which I rarely use so haven't really explored any library related groups etc until now. I've joined the group 'Wordpress for Librarians' as it may be useful for gaining ideas to improve the blog mentioned above.
I have used twitter on and off for a while (mostly to follow rather than post), but I was unaware of the list feature. This seems useful as you are able to read informative posts all in one place without having to follow all of the users (I find following to many people just blocks up your feed). I am now subscribed to the Rudai list 'Librarian-Tweeters'. I will also keep an eye out for any Twitter chats that look interesting as this is something I am also yet to try.
