The second TeachMeet met at the Limerick School of Art and Design (LSAD) on Tuesday, 6th September.
Anne Culhane very kindly organised and hosted the event which focused on 'Mobile Technologies'. Librarians from LSAD, UL, LIT and St. Patrick's College, Thurles were present.
After refreshments, Anne started off the meeting with an interesting presentation on the library's very successful use of Facebook at LSAD. This led on to a most constructive discussion about the pros and cons of Facebook and other social media for libraries; the responsibilities that social media bring for librarians; changes in how students communicate; marketing the library and library blogs.
It was decided that we will have another Teachmeet before Christmas and Pádraig Kirby (LIT) kindly offered to host it. Topics that will be discussed include copyright, plagiarism and referencing.
Sincere thanks to Anne for such an interesting meeting.
