The State of Social Media: Trends & Challenges: Webinar (11/13/18)   

Social media for a library is no longer a novelty; it's part of how most modern-day libraries operate.

However, social media as a platform has matured. It's not the same as it was ten, five, or even one year ago! And it's not just user demographics that have changed...how and why people use it (or perhaps don't) have also also evolved, and perhaps in some unexpected ways.

Join author Laura Solomon, who has written three books about social media and libraries, for an in-depth look at what's happening now with social media and the challenges libraries may have going forward.
