Investigative exersise 11: Recommendations

These are the recommendations i would make about the use of 2.0 technologies in my individual library service.

Whilst my particular library service has great Web2.0 technologies available to the general public, I have noticed the lack of targeted group platforms.
So, here are the following recommendations to the three groups I felt had the least amount of information and inclusion.

Children’s 

The hennepin County Library has a vimeo page which I noticed the City of Sydney doesn't
https://vimeo.com/hclibThis page would be very helpful for parents to view actual storytime from the library.

Recommendation

I recommend that City of Sydney creates a Vimeo page to include recordings of events such as storytime, this would assist parents to find out more about it or if they cant attend they would be able to watch it with their child at home.

Teenage/Youth

The Hennepin County library's Facebook page is great! It is very interactive and informative with the community. For example
https://www.facebook.com/hclibhas a great article on not only encouraging youth to get tutoring but also advertising the community to volunteer as tutors to help the youth.

Recommendation

I recommend that City of Sydney library uses advertising to engage with the community on a more personal level to help the youth receive free tutoring and to encourage the public to get involved.

Adult Fiction

The Christchurch City Facebook page offers great information about adult fiction for example they have an article on new adult fiction releases every month

https://www.facebook.com/ChristchurchCityLibraries

Recommendations

I recommend that the City of Sydney library offers an article on their Facebook page to keep the adult fiction fans up to date with new releases.
