I wanted to share one of my blogger posts to my Twitter account and how I did this was by having both my blog and my twitter open. I selected the post that I wanted to share and then I looked at the bottom of the post and selected the Twitter share button. It then took me to compose a twitter post and after I put in what I want my post was ready to be shared.

Here is a good blog to checkout of a friend of mine from my class. Her name is Jessica and the blog she has created which is called A Book a Day and is really helpful for anyone who is working in libraries and wants to learn about social media as well as getting some great tips on interesting books that she suggests to read. Here is the link and I hope you check it out:

Libraries have approached social media in all manner of different ways, some libraries branch out over Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Flickr and many more. Social media is a great tool for libraries to use it makes the costumes aware of times and any important dates coming up, it can also share activities that have been taking place at the library.
Here are some links I have found that connect to different libraries and their different social media accounts:
Here is the State Library of Victoria's social media page for Facebook and it contains a large amount of promotional advertisement for their current exhibitions.

Here is the Moonee Valley Library's Pinterest account, they have used this image based social media tool to great boards that include things such as 'Best 100 Reads for Young Adults' or 'Local History Collection'.

Here is the National Library of Australia's Twitter account, it is very similar to the State Library of Victoria's Facebook account with how is strongly promotes their exhibitions and important news.

Every time we upload a photo onto a social media tool we always have to be careful about what we are putting up and to make sure that we are not breaking and copyright rules. If someone breaks a copyright rule even unknowingly it can lead to them finding themselves in a lot of hot water. Here is a link that everyone should look over before they start adding photos online:
