About the session

Since embarking on a sustained programme of
development the University of Liverpool Library has built
up a popular verified Twitter account with over 8,000
followers. The social media team has created a coherent
and collective library ‘voice’ to creatively engage and
connect with library users. This talk will explore the
benefits of taking a team approach and offer an insight
into the relevance of social media to academic libraries.
