[Michlib-l] Join MLA this afternoon at 2 PM for an MLA Connect Webinar: Public Relations: Social Media Strategies for Libraries

[Rachel Ash]

Public Relations: Social Media Strategies for Libraries
Tuesday, May 16, 2023
2:00 - 3:00 PM

Social media provides an opportunity for libraries to engage with people outside of the four walls of the library. Libraries have been using social media since its inception, but have typically relied on it for promotion, not engagement. In this webinar, attendees will learn how to shift from promotion, which is a one-way conversation, to engagement, which is a two-way conversation, as well as strategies such as active listening, trending topics, analytics, social media as a customer service point, and much more. Participants will also explore the pros and cons of centralized and decentralized management of social media, and how governance and policy can be balanced with creativity and flexibility.

MLA Connect webinars are only $25 for MLA members. This webinar will be recorded and available through MLA Connect On Demand.
