Bobbie Newman is an ALA councillor and has her fingers in
a number of pies. She is very passionate about libraries and is a resource
treasure trove. So when I came across an article that she had written which
outlines Facebook pages that you should
follow, I looked into it further. Of course they are all American based
but with knowledge in hand, I then went in search of similar pages that were
Australian based.
I use Facebook nearly every day, but generally it was
just to see what my kids were up to. What pages they were following, liking or
commenting. And of course playing a couple of games. I never thought about using Facebook for
anything else. Now I look at it in a different light, since doing this course.
Now when I log into Facebook, I now look to see what else is out there and what
information I can gain. So not only adding her top six pages to my following
list, I have added others as well. Bobbie’s top six were 1) American Library
Association, 2) Webjuction 3) Your state and local library association, 4) Library
Journal, 5) Library Renewal and 6) Learning Round Table of the American Library
Association. Some of them make pretty interesting reading especially if they discussing
where libraries are headed in the future.
