The UCF Library was recently ranked as one of the top social media friendly libraries in the nation.
The staff of LibraryScienceList.com, a social community for new and current librarians around the world, selected the University of Central Florida Library as a Top 100 Most Social Media Friendly College & University Library for 2013. Out of the 442 college and university libraries, UCF ranked 70 on the list.
Each year, the staff at LibraryScienceList.com search the most popular social media platforms, looking for libraries that are actively using their accounts to promote library events, notify students of new materials, or interact with patrons in other ways.
“We’re thrilled,” said Meg Scharf, a spokeswoman for the library. “We recognize social media as a very important way to reach our audience, and we’ve tried to make the best use of it. It’s nice to be recognized.”
The UCF Library also ranked in third place for its presence on Facebook, 16 for its use of Google Plus and 41 for Twitter. The library came in at 100 for YouTube.
