I know I’m a bit late with this, but what a cool idea! The JFK Presidential Library created a twitter account where folks can follow JFK’s 1960 campaign trail. Check it out: kenedy1960

I have a bit of a soft spot for the Corvallis-Benton County Library– after all, I volunteer there a couple days every week! They are on Twitter now and have started their own blog.

Cheers to the CBCPL!

My latest assignment in LIS 5313 is to create a “web 2.0″ article. I am focusing on Twittering Libraries. I recently joined Twitter so I could “follow” the many libraries (and library organizations) out there who are twittering/tweeting away. I have enjoyed seeing how the many libraries out there are using Twitter to post library announcements, market products, services and programs, for reference services, update patrons on new materials, send alerts about new materials, get information about conferences and/or use it for micro-blogging.
The following is a list I have compiled of tweeting libraries. The list is not all-inclusive, so if you know of a library or library-related organization using Twitter that I haven’t found yet, please share!
<update 3/21/2009: This is a listing of the libraries I used for my web 2.0 article… For a constantly updated list, check out my post Twittering Libraries (updated list).>
