Why Tweet?

So, if you haven't guessed from my previous posts, I'm not a huge fan of social media. It can be a little too time consuming and wasteful in my opinion, so I just avoid it altogether. But in a school library (or certain settings) I can see the value. Especially if you are dealing with high school students who LIVE for social media. This is a great way to connect with them on a level they are familiar with and gives you great repertoire for being "with it". I could see sending tweets as reminders for various events or just little blurbs about new books or such, being a very effective way to reach out to the students.
