Three steps are outlined for libraries to effectively use social media: 1. Plan meetings and discussions with team members to strategize social media use while avoiding overplanning. 2. Implement social media using a "just do it" approach, view platforms as evolving conversations, start small, research best practices, and post daily using reminders. 3. Stay up-to-date by following technology and social media vocabulary through online professional reading, RSS feeds, videos, and checking recommended blogs and sites.
