Facebook, and Twitter, and Instagram, oh my! Sharing museum
collections through social media

Social media has infiltrated our lives, and it's no longer
restricted to personal use.  Many cultural institutions are using
social media outlets very effectively to connect and communicate
messages to a wide variety of audiences.  There are so many choices
and platforms and ways of engaging with the public, which can make
even just the term "social media" seem overwhelming or daunting.
Whether you're completely inexperienced or you're looking to refine
or streamline and make the most of your efforts, this webinar will
provide an opportunity to learn more about what is out there, how
different platforms are being used, and will provide tips for
effectively using social media to share your collections, which
ultimately assists in furthering access and preservation.
