The use of social media in pedagogical libraries

Abstract

For pedagogical libraries, social media are a simple way to share various information and interact with readers. Libraries create their own profiles, quite often on many social media platforms simultaneously. These profiles are then used to promote the activities and services of a given library, share photos, videos, scholarly publications etc. This article is an attempt to analyse how pedagogical libraries use selected social media, including Facebook, Twitter, Google+, YouTube, Pinterest and Instagram, in their everyday activities.
