Copyright implications in Social Media

We are all sharing content on social media, photos, articles, even personal posts. Are there copyright implications? Each media platform has its own set of rules re copyright. Twitter doesn't allow the use of image sharing but people do it. How do we retain ownership of our photos? Images will always be bound by copyright. Having content shared and distributed through an array of networks like Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram and Twitter can be very beneficial but even these networks are bound by copyright.

best uses of Facebook by libraries

Facebook for libraries is a great tool for connecting to a wide range of people. And some of the best uses of Facebook for a library are;

• advertising events
• connecting to clients, asking them questions with access to immediate responses via the comments box, like the Melbourne Athenaeum Library 
• telling clients about other social media the library is using, such as blogs, flickr, twitter etc
• connecting to clients who are unable to come into the library
• book reviews
• updating e-resources in a quick, exciting way, check out the New York Public Library page

Facebook is used for other organisations regarding libraries, & one that is obviously of interest to me isthe ALIA National Library Technicians Group
