In my case my day this means the 9 to 5 one not the one on the page, where I this blog and other stuff to write and do workshops and present and read articles and Government, although it also helps. For reasons of this post I am focusing on my 9 to 5 job or more like 7 to 6 job.


Here are 10 ways Twitter has made me a better employee benefited better on my work and my library.


1. Connection to the experts.


 Thanks to Twitter, I in expert connection can can take, years to connect with otherwise.I can see how in passing at conferences (if I happy am enough to visit) or exchanging e Mails.Aber Twitter to make connections easier. No need for a formal email I write a conversation that is much faster and easier to maintain than formal E-mail begin to respond to your Tweets. My Tweets gives you a sense of what I am professional and as an individual.


These connections include these tweets related not are with work or libraries help personal tweets, build a relationship between people who have never met face to face.You are the mortar between the bricks.As an Office, consider cooler talk, it is the fat that helps, the wheels turning.


These links are to provide invaluable for questions, get feedback and growing as a professional. It also means if my library explore a new project is advised my network of experts is much, much bigger than andere.Wenn we are the first place I go to my Twitter links a new service research and I get accurate and up-to-date information, faster and effizienter.Was not would head love?


2. Pool of information


The amount of information that is common on Twitter erstaunlich.Noch is better because the information reviewed divided by the individual, it shared, I assured timeliness and relevance his accuracy am.


3. Real-time awareness of news  


Your best bet for real time, as it happens, is awareness of news Twitter.Es is simply better than newspapers, radio and television for immediate Nachrichten.News are interested in news, who must know my management team my patrons.Messages that make the decisions effects we the library.


4. Real time updates in matters of technology and library.


You want to know what is latest technology Marvel Apple unveiling this will not work with your library services but all your patrons are questions? Twitter.Want to know what happens with vendor issues such as the JSTOR interface change?Or libraries lending Netflix? Twitter.


5. Connect patrons


Patrons ask me on Twitter all the time.Yes, really.Patrons go to the easiest and most convenient method for you, for some of his Twitter.


Mine isn't technically Librarianbyday Twitter account related to my library in no Weise.Es plays no role who me know in the community I work with the library know I am your one-stop.


6. Training for free!


Hey budgets are eng.Aber it is important that we time to develop our employees.Library employees need professional development to serve best our patrons.


Twitter is not a substitute for conferences or face to face training or workshops, but if money is tight, it is better to leave important library developments without my Office as nichts.Ich communicate with my colleagues, exchange ideas and I get look direction.


7. Contact with local organizations and groups.


Because I follow in my community life have I, local organizations and groups to which I am interested in.I ask you, retweet your Tweets and keeping up with upcoming Ereignisse.Sie know I am a librarian who works on the library, you also know I am a customer/supporter of theirs.Need from the library may be fulfilled, that first will think of us, because you know me, if you.


Twitter is a great way to relations with other organizations to build something that better have particularly important ist.Noch two hours of working time in today's economy bad food and listen to spend bad presentations.


8. I am always learning


I think it would be impossible on Twitter and not something new to lernen.Bibliothekare always learning are more flexible and open to ändern.Eine thing sure now that we know about libraries is that times are changing and employees must be able to change.


9. Keeps me in contact with the larger world.


As human beings, we tend to people with similar ideas and interests gravitieren.Twitter my relationship with people where I could connect otherwise not with, you could have different interests outside of Bibliotheken.Da I frequently as my own interact different choice with people with ideal I am better able to assist patrons with ideal, alignment with mir.Denken, we should warm and inviting to everyone equally, even if you think your ideas are disgusting.


10. Sharing and borrowing


Thanks to Twitter, it is easy for me, information about all my library doing awesome things to share, and others to share what your libraries tun.Warum invent the wheel new, if I can steal ideas from libraries that you have already implemented programming? even better programs that I could never have imagined.
