good ones? In this webinar, we'll work on answering those questions and
exploring some of the issues involved with social media measurement.

marketing efforts from both academic and public libraries. This webinar will
cover how to select what to focus on, options you can try, and resources where
you can reach out for help. Learn how to take in new ideas and scale them to
your library without burning out your staff or maxing out your budget. From our
