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!
