Yes, definitely - promoting material we know we have, but like you said might pass others by. I've noticed items by authors who are giving visiting lectures etc, would be good to point out we have their latest book etc. (every time I notice something relevant - I kick myself for not having set up the blog already!)

I think that cataloguers get to see a lot of (if not all?) the material whereas front line staff may only see what is borrowed by readers. I think this puts cataloguers in a unique position to showcase the material that the library has that may otherwise be hidden away. That's what I would really like to do for my department. We are legal deposit so get anything and everything. With a lot of it, unless we promote it who will know it's there? On 29/03/2012 16:00, Esther Arens wrote: Oops, forgot a subject line... Before we're running out of time, I'd quickly like to throw some topics into the open that - I think - we haven't touch on so far: Who do you think is best placed to use social media for their organisation (cataloguers vs frontfacing staff)? If most of us aren't involved in any organisational SM accounts, would we want to? And if so, how could we sell this to our managers (#hvcat)? If you have tried/done it what DID you do?
