Another task for Competency Task 2 is to talk about a related library organistaion that uses social media. I have chosen Victoria University. The web address is . I've noticed they have links to the fellowing:
*Facebook - If you click on the facebook link it takes you straight to the Facebook page, which you can like if you want and also invite people from your friends list to like the page as well. Now at the time I was logged into my facebook account. However if I click on the Facebook tab when I'm not logged into facebook. It will still take me to facebook, but I have to login to view the page better. It includes photos of the campues. Mentions events and has a bit of info I've noticed about courses, which are links that take you to the website.
*Twitter - If you click on the twitter link it takes you to the Twitter page. Again you can follow the Uni on Twitter if you wish. But like facebook to view the profile properly you have to logged into your twitter account. It does have photos and videos like the facebook page has. It does tweets as well, which I noticed there are links to Instantgram for instance. But as mentioned in a previous blog you would b limited on the amount you could write due to character limitations. But would guess it's roughly the same info as what I saw on facebook.
*Youtube - Is different from facebook and Youtube. You don't have to join Youtube to watch the video, but if you were to want to upload a video to youtube. You would definitely have to join Youtube. I found to be different as it showed activities V4U (Volunteer for you). Interviewed people and had filmed them involved in various activities. Would say it is aimed at sort of the same audience. But more those that don't like to read too much information maybe. It wasn't really about the library as such. But did find it very interesting. Noticed I could add it to Facebook, Twitter, gooogle and Instantgram. But there was no link to either blogger or pinterest.
*Linkedin - You seem to have the option to be a member or not to be a member. As I was able to read the information. This could also be due to the setting the University has chosen as well. Didn't seem to stop me from looking at the information at all. From the brief look I got I would say it's roughly the same amount of information as on Facebook, Twitter and Youtube.
