Exercise 11 Recomendations

My Local Library is Kogarah Public Library, my recommendations that the library could make in regards to social media in relations to the various heading are:

Local Studies:

Kogarah Library could post up subjects like history or demographics on a page like Facebook and update it and could encourage people to comment on it teachers and students so that there's  more group participation and encouragement.

Students could also use  social media site like Prezi to make assessments, compare and review notes as to how to make their assessments better.

Children:

Kogarah Library could set up a learning system like games calibrated for children and then the children could contact other children about that game, and learn new skills.

Teenage/Youth:

Kogarah Library could advertise on social media sites like face book about upcoming events to do with the libraries i.e.: employability work shops.

Adult Fiction: 

For this Section the library could host a website that enables readers of adult ficiton to compare books, add reviews, see upcoming books etc.

Information/Reference:

The Library could have links to various social media like Facebok that promotes some of it's databases, to promote the Library Information/Reference Section.

  1. Hi James, Sounds like Hurstville Library could really embrace 2.0 technology in a big way. I agree Facebook is a great way to connect with library users.
