N2  - "Many libraries and museums nowadays have adapted to the current information climate and work with Google, Facebook, Twitter and iTunes to deliver information to their users, however most have not. This book will describe the variety of free (or nearly free) options for social media and show how libraries from the Library of Congress down to small public libraries are adapting them. The author has conducted more than two dozen interviews with professionals who have created exemplary work using social media, and shows how their experiences can create success for your institution's library." -- Publisher description
