Have you seen the viral video, Librarian Goes Gaga? If not, you really need to see it. I am including it here but rather than just posting it for you to watch and admire, I want to include some additional information as food for thought. What lessons can you learn from this video about how to use social networking to promote and engage users of your library?

Here are a few things I’ve noticed and I would love to hear what you have to say:

1. Creating a clever and captivating video has a lot of power and you can grab a large audience for your library with it.
2. People like to be entertained so use video to do it.
3. Video is a powerful marketing tool.
4. People will share and spread videos they like with others so find ways to create these to help market your library.
