Social Media Webinar | SLA Learning Hub

Description

What does social media have to do with your career in the information field? A lot more than you'd think! Your Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn profiles tell a story about you as a professional. They can also send a signal to your current employers, future employers, and coworkers. Make sure you're managing your profiles effectively.
In this session, attendees will learn how to use social media to create your personal brand. This session will cover the best ways to build your network, find and follow potential employers, and strike a balance between personal and professional. Leigh Bush did this session at the SLA/MLA conference this year and wanted to share it again in a webinar format for SLA members.
