Hi everyone I'm Anne Welsh, Lecturer in LIS at UCL, and, brand new this week, author of Practical Cataloguing! Yay! I was an early adopter of social media, a regular speaker about it at Online and ILI. I tweet at @AnneWelsh and blog at http://annewelsh.wordpress.com I also contribute to our research centre blog and twitter account @ucldh and am editor of our student blog and twitter account @UCLDISstudents Lots of students here are interested in social media, and we have a new MA/Msc in Digital Humanities, so you can imagine students there are really into social media. As an academic now, I tend to lurk a bit on lists like this rather than taking part, as I believe that it's more important to hear what colleagues in practice have to say but I don't like to lurk without warning (especially for any current students)! Looking forward to hearing what you are all up to on the social media front and to learning about how you are using social media in libraries now!
