Social Media
![Page 6: Integrating Social Media and Mobile Technologies to Help Enhance Library Services](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103015/54c8af604a7959a23d8b457d/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
According to Wikipedia, “Social media is a term used to describe the type of media that is based on conversation and interaction between people online.”
Sharing is a huge component!
![Page 7: Integrating Social Media and Mobile Technologies to Help Enhance Library Services](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103015/54c8af604a7959a23d8b457d/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Libraries ARE social networks! And librarians are (or should be) like circuit boards
connecting users to high-quality information while providing a social space for users to
consume, repurpose, and to share content.

Why mobile?
“Mobile phones create new kinds of bounded places that merge the infrastructures of geography and technology, as well as techno-social practices that merge technical standards and social norms." (Moll, 2007, p.12)
The mobile web is connecting people to information while they are on the go, so this is a great space for libraries!
Plus mobile phones have surpassed PC sand landline phones combined, so your potential audience is huge!

“There were a couple of really interesting overall themes in the Future of Retail report that led us to this concept. One was the portability of the retail experience – whether that’s portable fixtures within a space, hitting the road with a portable store, or the technology to create a retail experience virtually anywhere.
