Twitter ~ once a day at http://twitter.com/mitlibraries. Content ideas:
- tweet a photo and ask people to "Name that library!"
- tweet about or take a photo of cool collections people like (tweet a photo of yearbooks and send link to Barton record; tweet about travel collection)
- tweet about MIT spotlights and lib resources for them
- tweet about our good video tutorials
- tweet about Ellen's podcast series
- tweet about server downtime and other real time events
- ask users questions or what they think?
- tell people things they wouldn't have known otherwise
- our recent survey showed that people don't know about XXX service, did you?
- frame things in terms of user needs and how we can help them
- twitter new LibGuides
- twitter some cool photos that we have on Flickr
- twitter about our staff and what they do (non-work)
- Possibly twitter about other depts. at MIT and what they are doing
