Impact of Social media on library and Information services.
The rise of social media has grate impact to our community. It gives the best support in library and Information services. A social media policy can help establish clear guidelines for staff members who are posting on behalf of the organization as well as employees with personal social media accounts. There are also standards being created for users, letting them know what’s acceptable to post to an organization’s blog and community pages.

My personal view is in favour of a social media policy in the libraries. But I think it will take time to move in this regard. Even our parent organization in India is not adopting the social media policy with only a few exceptions.
Integration of social media will put a lot of workload on library staff. When you start posting in blog and social network you will start receiving comments on them from the very first day. If your library has more than 3000 members, one of your library staff should appointed as full time for answering the questions itself that will come from the social media (the volumes of queries will be so much large!). So, before going for it, it will be better to whether or not to go for social media integration in libraries. The very positive of social media integration is that it will provide you a wide publicity platform instantly.
