I would also echo what others are saying, in that anyone can use social media for work purposes, we just have to remember the different audiences.

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?

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? 


Thanks, Esther
