Good Morning everyone

I'm Jill Hazard, I work at Sheffield Hallam University.

I mainly use twitter as my professional social media, although I have been very lack on it over recent months. I found it incredibly useful for following news about RDA. 

I follow many blogs using the Google reader but rarely find time to read all the ones I follow.

I do use other social media (i.e. facebook) but not for professional reasons, mainly personal. 

I was also involved in helping to set up the Facebook page for Teesside University Library when I worked there. I did this at the same time as researching my master dissertation on University Libraries using Facebook (which still writing it up)

Subject: Welcome!

Hello and welcome to the CIG eforum on social media in the cataloguing
community!

This morning we will be discussing individual and institutional use of
Twitter and other social media. This afternoon, CIG are very pleased to
welcome guest moderator Nicola Osborne, Social Media Officer for EDINA.
Nicola wrote a live blog post for the recent CIGS Web 2.0 and metadata
seminar
(http://nicolaosborne.blogs.edina.ac.uk/2012/03/02/liveblog-cigs-web-2-0
-and-metadata-seminar/); she also gave a presentation at the seminar on
Developments in Web 2.0
(http://prezi.com/yhvtvnly4evo/this-talk-is-meta-and-so-is-this-title/).
From 1.30pm you will have the opportunity to ask Nicola questions about
her presentation and she will also be introducing the topic of social
media use in OPACs.

But for now, we'd like people to introduce themselves and describe their
use of Twitter and other social media for either personal or
professional use. I'll start by saying my interest is probably greater
than my knowledge! I have been on Twitter for a couple of years but have
only really "got it" in the last few months as a valuable tool for CPD.
I find it really useful for links to blogs and articles. I don't use
Facebook anymore but I am on LinkedIn and am very interested in
pinterest (I love the pretty pictures!). I work for the RNIB, which has
Facebook and Twitter accounts, including an account dedicated to
accessible reading @RNIBread.

So, what about you? Please share, whatever your level of experience -
whether you're a twitterholic or you think that tweets should be left to
the birds, we'd love to hear from you.
