1.Read the newbies guide to twitter. Check
2. Go to Twitter and see what people are saying about library or libraries. Check.
3. Read about twitter for libraries and librarians. Check.
3. Create a free Twitter account and find some people and libraries you want to follow. Library of Congress. Check
4. Integrate your tweets into your blog (see bottom right of this blog) by adding a twitter gadget that posts your tweets. Check
5. Blog about your Twitter experience and whether you can see a use for it in your current or future school library. I really didn't know why everyone loves twitter until I got onto it and I can see how it could be addictive. I subscribed to the library of congress but I also subscribed to my favorite stores and new anchors. I can see my self checking what they are saying all the time. It can save time by keeping you informed about what is going on with so many things at once but it can also waste time because you are spending time that could be spent else where.
As for libraries I think it would be good for patrons because they can be made aware of events that are coming up or happening in real time. I also think that it would be good for librarians to be able to follow other libraries and see what they are doing so they can improve their own library. Check
