Review and Discuss Social Media Survey: Summary and Next Steps
- Anyone can make edits or suggested edits to the summary.
- With most respondents using Facebook, the committee will use that product to promote CARLI Digital Collections.
- We will share the summary document on the website and add a blurb to the newsletter.
- We will have one central social media presence with:
- New collections posts
- Social media reposts from other institutions/links to other social media accounts
- Guest posts by institutions that don’t have their own social media accounts or want to use ours to promote their collections
- Schedule posts and review them before they are posted
- Action Steps:
- Set up Facebook page, follow other institutions accounts
- Can we use the current CARLI facebook page (Consortium of Academic and Research Libraries in Illinois (CARLI) facebook page)? Staff liaisons are checking if this is possible.
- Come up with a standardized format for posting
- Invite people to volunteer to guest post once we’ve sent out the survey
- Create a ‘press release’ to promote the Facebook page. Something for libraries to distribute to their wider academic communities.
