[Lib-helig-l] IFLA/FAIFE Social Media surveys - 1 June 2011

Dear Colleagues

Below a request which we have already posted but here is another opportunity to participate in this survey if you have missed the first time around.

Dear Friends and Colleagues:

Social media has become a hugely important force in the world, and the historic events in recent months have proven how integral they are to how we engage, learn, and communicate in 2011.

In an effort to learn more about how librarians, library workers, library students, and library associations use social media, the Free Access to Information and Freedom of Expression committee of the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions has developed a short survey on these topics. Our hope is that the results will allow us to communicate better with those in the worldwide library community – using the most effective tools at our disposal. We're also very interested in those who DON'T use certain social media, and why they don't.

If you have not yet done so, please take a few moments to complete the survey (deadline: Wednesday, 1 June 2011) and share it widely with your colleagues and members! Note: if you already have taken the survey, please do not take it again.
