The White Paper analyses the challenges and opportunities presented by social media as a communication tool in the library. The White Paper also considers its use in the library and how this differs by librarian job role. 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. With so many tools available, multiple uses and so many librarians making use of these tools in their library, Taylor & Francis wants to determine common practices associated with each tool and how this varies by job role. http://www.tandf.co.uk/libsite/whitePapers/socialMedia/ Objective - To research and present a White Paper on challenges and opportunities presented by social media comparing its uses in the library to establish the most useful types of social media and best methods for disseminating and using these tools in a library setting - To identify whether a librarian's use of social media differs by role - are subject librarians doing different things to electronic resources librarians? - To identify if and how use of social media varies on an international level and what can be learnt from this knowledge - To identify whether there are social networking tools that librarians are using inside their university that are different to mainstream social media - for example their own blogs, intranets, listservs best wishes Shafina Segon Head of Marketing, South Asia Taylor & Francis India [white paper email signature]<http://www.tandf.co.uk/libsite/whitePapers/socialMedia/> -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Re: [LIS-Forum] Does Introduction of LIS Syllabus in Undergraduate Course Curriculum Change the Libraries/Librarians image?
by Prabhat Ranjan 12 Nov '14

12 Nov '14

Dear LIS Professionals, Mr. Vasantha Raju N. has raised right issues about status of librarians in the professionals community. Librarians are termed as secondary professionals in college libraries. One of the main reason behind it may be ill status of libraries. An incapable library can be handled by any one. People visit there as a stack of books. The second reason of it may be senior professionals of library science also as they select incapable librarians (having only degrees in library science and therefore eligible to the post) which worse the image of librarians. In many departments in universities such professionals (as faculty members) hinder the growth of meritorious students. When library professionals are motivated towards their selves and selection processes in the country is not transparent, library science will be devoid of influential intellects. We professionals should respect knowledge in the community, but I see people are self-oriented. And the profession is going downwards. Why India is not presenting an another Ranganathan? What is DRTC, NISCAIR and premier universities are doing in India. We professionals are enemies of the profession. We are *not* sensitive to the profession. That is the reason, some library professionals are extremely underpaid. But it is not a matter to the people in high positions as they are being paid well. Situations of library professionals is very poor and not respectful in many of the fields. Once again, I salute Mr. Vasantha Raju N. for his sensitivity toawrds the profession..
