I am to search up a library site which uses multiple social medias and talk about the information posted in each; what is posted, is it the same, what is it used for.
So I found Melbourne Library:
http://www.melbourne.vic.gov.au/melbournelibraryservice/Pages/MelbourneLibraryService.aspx
The use Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr.
Taking a stroll through them all, Facebook and Twitter are similar to each other. As both as text based social medias, Facebook and Twitter post advertisements for their library of opening hours and events that are happening at their organisation. As Twitter has a character count, they are much more brief and to the point there. Facebook is much more detailed coupled with a larger character count and pictures. However, there is no difference in information.
However, Facebook has a much more personal use from their staff members, as I view some posts about slow internet or simply saying hello. Twitter is purely advertisements and is more informative whereas Facebook is much more casual. If you actually wanted to communicate with the library community, you'd best do that on Facebook.
Therefore, using both, the library can reach out to a larger audience, Twitter mainly to inform and Facebook to connect with their patrons.
Flickr stands out from the rest, partly because it's barely seen. Flickr is where the library community posts images and images only on progress or events at the library. Currently they are posting construction images of a new floor they are building. Flickr is if you want a more inside look at new happens in the library that is a bit more personal than official and formal events.
