NHLA is on Twitter @nhlibrarians
As some of you may have heard, the New Hampshire Library Association is now on Twitter @nhlibrarians. We'll probably be tweeting a little more often then we've been posting blog entries, and the content will be a little different...more conversational, more newsy about developments in the profession and industry, and at times more intellectually challenging. Would you like to contribute entries to the @nhlibrarians Twitter feed? If so, send me an email or send me a direct message on Twitter @nhlibrarians.
For those of you who think Twitter is still about sharing with the world what you had for lunch, you will be greatly surprised (and pleased) to learn that Twitter is increasingly considered a knowledge sharing universe of great importance. In fact, at a September 2009 symposium at Syracuse Univeristy, New York Times columnist David Pogue discussed how Twitter can serve as a tool of "cultural diplomacy."*
So, go to Twitter, create an account and start following NHLA. It won't hurt, and you might learn a lot. If I still haven't won you over, take a look at some of our recent tweets:
