奈良県立医科大学附属図書館におけるTwitterによる情報発信

Abstract

At the Nara Medical University Library，we started using Twitter in June 2012 to provide timely information regarding PC use to enable efficient use of the library. Before starting Twitter, we investigated Twitter use at other university libraries and found that 75 university libraries used Twitter. We decided to tweet 3 times a day and to provide information regarding opening hours, events, and book reviews, similar to the usage at other university libraries. A year has passed since we started to use Twitter, but we have only 22 followers. Information activities should be reconsidered so that Twitter may become helpful to library users.
