The samples are taken from academic librarians around the world, which may also allow us to examine differences by geographic location. In depth tele interviews have been conducted with with those who have researched the impact of social media tools in their library to include some detailed case studies. The goal: to establish how librarians are currently using social media in their roles, the most useful social media tools and best applications for these tools in a library setting. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Slideshare, blogs , Pinterest are just some of the mainstream social media networking sites available. The opportunities social media presents to the library community includes but is not restricted to user engagement, professional networking, informational exchange and increasing the discoverability of existing online resources at the library.
