Twitter for Researchers workshop

by Janet Corcoran

The Library is running a Twitter for Researchers workshop on Monday 9 December.

Twitter is a microblogging service that asks you to tell the world what you are doing in 140 characters or less, and can be used to build up a network of like-minded people. By selecting other Twitter users to follow, you can build up contacts across a wide range of interests. Many in the academic and research communities use Twitter for professional communication of their research, pointing followers to notable items such as papers, articles, news stories, and blog posts, as well as links to other resources, photos and other media.

This session, run by Andrew Day (Library Education and Research Support team) and Jenny Evans (Library Faculty Support team) is aimed at PhD students, post-doctoral researchers, academic staff and postgraduate taught course students who have had little or no experience of using Twitter.

If you have any questions please email Jenny.

Date: Monday 9 December 2013

Location: South Kensington, Central Library, Training room 1

Time: 14.30 – 16.00

If you would like to attend please email Andrew Day to book your place.
