The Information Professional’s Social Club is kicking off Spring with a tour of Stanford University Libraries’ Archive of Recorded Sound.

Sound recording formats include wax cylinders, shellac and vinyl discs, magnetic wire recordings, tapes, CDs and more. Additionally, the archive features a remarkable collection of phonographs and other playback equipment.

The tour will be followed by a social networking event at Russo Cafe, within easy walking distance of the Archive.

LIS Lady, Stephanie Roach, explores social media use by groups of info pros in poster session at CLA conference

November 3, 2012 I presented a poster session, Social Media Use in the Bay Area Library Student and Professional Community, at the California Library Association’s annual conference in San Jose, CA. The session felt like a success. The survey results and data analysis as well as the poster infographic are available on the LIS Lady website.

Abstract

Social Media Use in the Bay Area Library Student and Professional Community explores the use of social media by San Francisco Bay Area professional networking groups. Social media platforms including Twitter, Facebook, Google Plus, and Pinterest will be evaluated for social media presence by library professional groups. Specific strategies in use by group administrators will be identified, and use of platform specific tools such as timelines, events, hangouts, etc. This poster session establishes a baseline for use of social media by San Francisco Bay Area library professional groups, and serves as an exploratory study providing data revealing directions for future research.

The poster session includes figures quantifying use of social media by San Francisco Bay Area library student and professional groups. Group administrators were surveyed to discover strategies and methods for utilizing social media platforms, and group profiles were evaluated to discover which tools are being utilized.
