One library; two divisions
![Page 10: Social Media Collaboration - influencing internal practices and cohesion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070519/58ee0bac1a28abdf4b8b45e9/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
One service; several locations
![Page 11: Social Media Collaboration - influencing internal practices and cohesion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070519/58ee0bac1a28abdf4b8b45e9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Main Library: one building; several services
![Page 12: Social Media Collaboration - influencing internal practices and cohesion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070519/58ee0bac1a28abdf4b8b45e9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
This complicated organisational and geographical structure has created significant challenges for the library to provide a unified message to users.
![Page 13: Social Media Collaboration - influencing internal practices and cohesion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070519/58ee0bac1a28abdf4b8b45e9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
For example, through social media
• Some social media presence• Lopsided coverage• Skewed perceptions for users• Confusing and inconsistent messages
![Page 14: Social Media Collaboration - influencing internal practices and cohesion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070519/58ee0bac1a28abdf4b8b45e9/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Example 1: CRC Twitter account
• Managed by a volunteer – no ownership• Automatic blog feed
– Lots of content but often irrelevant– Confusing messages– Tweets not optimised
• For example…
![Page 15: Social Media Collaboration - influencing internal practices and cohesion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070519/58ee0bac1a28abdf4b8b45e9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Example 2: Lack of coordination
• No joined-up approach across library• CRC monthly Social Media report• Dormant account ‘came back to life’• No-one knew who was doing the
tweeting• Transpired it was colleagues in another
division
![Page 17: Social Media Collaboration - influencing internal practices and cohesion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070519/58ee0bac1a28abdf4b8b45e9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

To summarise…
• Lack of coherence gave unclear messages to users
• Doing things for the sake of it• Broadcast mentality• No attempt to monitor statistics• Highlighted lack of collaboration in other
areas
![Page 20: Social Media Collaboration - influencing internal practices and cohesion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070519/58ee0bac1a28abdf4b8b45e9/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
From Confusion to Cohesion
• Meet together.• Do this regularly.• Create a social media policy.• Measure progress.• Clearly define the purpose and audience
of each account.

Approachable Customer Service
Collaborating allows us to respond quickly and appropriately to a wider range of queries.
Sometimes it’s great just to make contact and create a conversation.

Coordinating Communications
Working together with a clear understanding of our accounts we are now able to coordinate communications for large events.E.g. Upgrading to a new Library Management System, or promoting exhibitions and events.

Improving Internal Communications
http://libraryblogs.is.ed.ac.uk
Aggregates posts from 40 individual Library blogs.
Each blog is maintained by its site, project, or team, and can be viewed individually.
![Page 33: Social Media Collaboration - influencing internal practices and cohesion](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070519/58ee0bac1a28abdf4b8b45e9/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

The blog aggregate was created to communicate to an external public. What we found was that this was actually an excellent tool to improve internal communication.
One of our remote sites, the Library Annexe, uses their blog to connect with colleagues and staff.

SM as Staff Development Tool
• Staff can choose to attend ‘Writing for the Web’ training.
• Encouraged to participate.• Thinking about the service from a
different angle.

Influencing other forms of communicationWe are now working to improve the coordination and consistency of wider communications in other formats.
This has also opened up conversations about identity issues and identifying ourselves as a service.

Conclusion
We’ve only just begun. There are areas we’re still working to improve, and actions that have been identified to ensure our communications continue to meet the needs of our internal and external users.
