Essay / Microblogging - 1638
IntroductionAs a new graduate student in the field of library information science, I am interested in the important developments in microblogging, i.e. Twitting and Facebook, for n 'name just a few. As technology develops, libraries and LIS professionals need to consider how to incorporate this technology into their courses. Do students need all the new technology devices to help them learn?

It's difficult to exchange information when you only have 140 characters to use. The more she learned, the more confident she became about the possible benefits and her feelings changed. Even though you couldn't send large amounts of text, it was possible to exchange website information as well as other basic student information. The author is a professor of library science at Sam Houston State University, Huntsville, Texas. His interests are technology, librarianship and ethics. She has published two books on the processing of technical devices. His information as far as possible. It is difficult to have a good balance of information and examples on the subject. I saw it as a good introduction for people who are not familiar with the topic of microblogging..
