Thing 6 - online networks

I am already a member of Twitter and LISNPN.  Have investigated the CILIP community section which I didn't realise was there, so will certainly look at this from now on.  I have heard of Linkedin but haven't yet signed up to this, nor am I signed up to FACEBOOK.

I find Twitter really useful for keeping abreast of up to date information.  It is easy to follow on my phone.  LISNPN is good for sharing ideas with others.  I haven't been keen on Facebook in the past, I think this has a lot to do with witnessing how addicted young people seem to be, it has never really appealed to me.  However, I can see how it can be useful in our profession, considering the impact it has on so many.  It is clearly a useful tool for reaching the younger generation.  Linkedin is something I will be looking at very soon.
