CU was the first college in Tennessee to have campuswide wireless internet access, and organizations such as the Alumni Association have a strong presence in the world of social networking. The Doris and Harry Vise Library's web presence consists of a website, a blog for campuswide reading program (iRead), and a burgeoning Twitter account. Although this is a good start, Vise Library is still working on a new branding campaign for the library's presence. In this article, the author discusses six key ways to increase Vise Library's web presence: (1) create a more user-friendly and dynamic website; (2) activate and maintain accounts on social networking sites such as Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter; (3) produce a library blog that allows students, staff, and faculty to learn about library news and events without having to wait on the biannual library newsletter; (4) implement text reference services and improve chart reference services; (5) establish a library YouTube account and make fun and informative videos about library services and database and create a virtual tour of the building for distance education students; and (6) podcast class sessions and iRead sessions. |
