Follow JFK’s 1960 campaign on Twitter (via JFK Library)

Monday, April 26th, 2010

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

International Twittering Libraries

Wednesday, March 18th, 2009

updated 5/28/2010

I have received quite a few comments from folks around the globe (which has been really GREAT, by the way!) Instead of incorporating them into the long, long list of Twittering Libraries, I decided to keep that list as U.S. only, for organizational sake. Hence below is a growing list of International Twittering Libraries.

If you have any recommendations and/or would like your library to be added to this list, please contact me. I’d love to hear from you!

The Corvallis-Benton County Public Library is on Twitter!

Monday, February 16th, 2009

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!

Libraries on Twitter (updated list)

Saturday, January 10th, 2009

updated 7/27/2010

Here is an updated list of Libraries on Twitter. I decided to create a new post instead of continually updating the old post. Some folks on here haven’t updated their profiles in a long while, but I thought I’d include them anyway…

Also, in response to several comments about International Libraries that twitter, I created a new list in a separate post, for organizational purposes.

If your library is not on here, please leave a comment below or contact me. I’d love to keep this as close to accurate as possible. Thanks!

Twittering (or Tweeting?) Libraries

Monday, November 17th, 2008

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).>
