Reviews
"Author Solomon knows how to do social media. She was instrumental in saving much of the $147 million budget reductions directed at libraries announced by the Ohio governor in June 2009, and she did this by mobilizing library supporters through Twitter and other social media sites ... The book gives both the novice and the experienced social media practitioner advice on how to use these virtual-communications tools more effectively and is recommended for any library desiring to increase the social media effectiveness quotient of the staff."
--Booklist
"Offers a practical and balanced approach to existing and emerging technology."
--Public Libraries
