Dear all,
Thank you very much to those of you who participated in my recent mini-survey about social media use in promoting Special Collections. As some of you asked to see the results, I am summarising them here.
I had 18 responses in total. Of these only 2 do not use Social Media at all. Of the 16 that do use SM, all use Twitter, 11 use Facebook, none use Vine and 4 use Pinterest.
In the "Other" field:
10 respondents mentioned using blogs.
1 mentioned Tumblr
4 mentioned Instagram
1 mentioned Google +, YouTube, SoundCloud, Geocaching and Wikipedia.
1 mentioned Flickr.
My conclusion is that Twitter and blogs are the most popular (and deemed to be the most effective) forms of Social Media used for promoting Special Collections at the moment, and Instagram and Pinterest are gaining popularity.
Many thanks again,
Lucy
