Coffee break on Facebook – OIK’s presence in social media

Abstract

By now the use of Web 2.0 applications has become a part of everyday library practice. In particular, it is important to write blogs and be present on social networking sites, such as Facebook, to strengthen communication and to keep contact with users, as well as to market library services. This paper looks at two, frequently and effectively used social media tools of OIK – its blog (under the title Coffee break) and its Facebook page –, describing the role of these two media in the Library’s practice with illustrations and statistical data.
