Twitter for
          Researchers



Emma Thompson or...
@LibraryEmma
@LivUniLibrary (with others)
Go to http://twitter.com/search




 Try searching for “liverpool university”
Choose a name
• Not too long – makes it hard for others
  to retweet your messages

• Use capitals to break up your name
  @LivUniLibrary

• Photo/Logo essential
Send some tweets

• A link to a website you find useful,
  “I’m just testing twitter” ...whatever

• People are more likely to follow you if
  you are an “active” user
3. Follow!
It’s not stalking, honest...

Follow colleagues, institutions, funders –
the library... and see who they follow

                         Many will follow
                         you back
Managing Twitter



Create Columns for :

different accounts (personal and institutional)

search terms e.g. “sydney jones”

Hashtags for conferences, themes etc #phdchat

        marklet.php
Could Social Media
                   “buzz” increase
