Editor's Notes
- #2: Welcome, everyone, and thank you for coming. I hope you’re learning some useful tips today, and having a good time overall!I was asked to present today on social networking, and your social network, essentially preparing yourself to look good online, and connecting to the right people.As I go along, if you have any questions at all, please let me know.
- #4: Anyone know who this is?
- #5: This is Carly McKinney.
- #6: She was a high school teacher in Colorado.Until it was revealed that she had quite the Twitter presence. One that involved scantily clad photos of herself, and posts about smoking pot.
- #10: Then I did just some minimal poking about on Twitter and happened upon this non-URI library school student’s tweet.
- #11: And this one.
- #15: Then I found this post on Hack Library School. Anyone here read Hack Lib School?
- #16: I read the post and found this sentence: “I wondered if I should change my twitter handle from @lez_brarian to something safer and scrub my tweets of anything not strictly library related.”
- #17: My point of view? That’s not necessary.
- #18: Most library professionals would not be fazed by something like that. Post kitten pictures, shopping lists, etc. You are a person.
- #21: Your resume, cover letter, and online presence are all the search committee is likely to know about you.And if there’s a professional HR department or hiring manager, it’s even more likely you’ll be Googled, and perhaps have a background check as well.
