Social media has many uses in libraries. It can be a great way to interact with your users, market your services and collections, or work on your own professional development.

Social media has become something of a hot topic in librarianship in recent years, espcecially with 23Things programmes helping  to introduce social media tools to many librarians. New tools (and new uses for exisiting tools) are being developed all the time so this is a fast moving area. There used to be lots of talk of Library 2.0 whereas by now we’ve probably moved on to Library 5.0!

We’ve assembled a list of the best resources on social media in the interactive reading list below. As always, feel free to comment if there is a resource in the collection you’ve found particularly useful.
