'Friending' The Library: Social Media Interns Get The Message Out, Pamela Contakos
Pamela Contakos
At MCLA we have sponsored undergraduate student interns who assist with marketing and outreach for the library. Our interns are responsible for the library’s Tumblr, posting weekly about databases, items from the archives, and apps of interest, the library’s Instagram account, and the library’s Facebook account. In addition, they have created videos and hosted social media contests. We will share some of the projects our interns have worked in and talk about best practices in having student run social media.
