Connecting with Teens Using Social Media Teens today are coming to the library in full force with their laptops and netbooks. They're texting, tweeting, and using Facebook. They're diving into a world full of social networking, sharing, and collaboration. As libraries of the 21st Century become in tune with current technologies, it is our duty as librarians to understand these tools and how they apply to the teens that are using them. In this presentation, we will discuss how to use social media to connect with teens. Through reaching out using these tools and education, social media can be used to take library services to a whole new level.

- The discussion of personal and professional profiles always comes up. I didn’t want to have two profiles (done it before, hated it ) so I had to make a decision: add teens to my own accounts or hide myself far, far away. I went with what some may consider to be the unpopular route. I added them to my own accounts. I feel like it has made a world world of difference. I am happy to share the real Justin with the teens that I serve. I have nothing bad to hide and all good to share. Letting them in on my “personal” life has actually allowed me to establish a deeper connection with them. For example, when one teen found that him and I shared an interest in The Mars Volta , he came running in the library one day in disbelief. He was excited that I was into the same music as him. He now comes in a few times each week and we spend a good fifteen minutes or so talking about music. This is just one of countless examples of how opening up my personal social networking accounts to teens has made it easier for me to connect with them and provide them with quality service. In the end, it makes you more of a real person to them. They become your friend and they trust you. The upside to this? They’re using the library…and they love it.

- When a teen found out via Facebook that I was a fan of the band The Mars Volta, we immediately connected. Before that, we had said hello and had basic interactions, but after this we would talk music quite a bit in the library. He also stopped into the library more. CREATING LIFELONG USERS!
- There’s nothing that looks sadder than an abandoned profile . If you’re going to have a public account, make sure you update it with the most relevant information. Don’t just create the profile and let it fester and rot away. An up to date profile will show your public that you care about connecting with them. One of the golden rules I try to always stick to is replying to comments or posts. Even if it is a simple hello or a comment on a link, say something back! Conversation and interaction is one of the reasons why we’re all using social media.
- Myspace is dead. It lost its appeal when showing off how (badly) one could customize their page with videos, gifs, and pictures won out over connecting and sharing with others. We can learn something from this. Media 21 is a project created by Buffy Hamilton, a school librarian at Creekview High School in Canton, GA. The goal of the Media 21 Project is to “expand teens’ information literacy skills by introducing them tools for constructing a personal learning network and to posit research as a real world activity for learning, not an isolated unit of study.” The idea behind Media 21 blows my mind. Taking a moment or two each day to educate the teens using my library about social media allows me to better serve them as a librarian. They understand that social media is a real and credible way to interact, share and create. It helps me be the best librarian I can be for them. I know what they want, and they know I’m always here to listen. Buffy further adds: “I wanted to them to learn how to use social media tools for constructing and sharing knowledge as well as to start thinking about ways social media can be an authoritative source of knowledge”
