The twitter and facebook accounts are run separately from the blog, so I can’t speak to that aspect of your question.

Also, I wanted to add that I really enjoy your blog, especially the reference question of the week. Keep up the good work.

We also post news stories on the website news module as needed.

Question of the Week (question Friday, answer Wednesday), about 3 blog posts, one monthly newsletter. Our web librarian rights most content, but we split the Facebook and Twitter posts and staff contribute posts and write articles for the monthly newsletter. It’s work, but it’s fun work. I love your Ref. Questions each week. Since I’m not at a branch, I usually make mine up.

I enjoy reading it though! My library has even discussed your posts at meetings! Do what you can can, ya know?

Be sure to still post something beyond your scheduled posts if you get inspired. Always a treat.

The posts are always worth a read, even if the questions are not.

Generally, we use our blog as an announcement board, but I doubt few ever read it. It’s mostly info that also lives elsewhere.

Good luck with the new schedule and thanks for the posts!!

I add in tweets when things come up that should be shared (these are mostly retweets).

Personally, I tweet when I want to. I do try to keep my tumblr queue stocked and it’s set to post three times a day, but I don’t mind having gaps sometimes.

I keep a mostly mental list of ideas for times like this. We’ve got enough going on that this isn’t a problem during the school year. We had three posts today, actually.

For Facebook and Twitter, again, no rules, but I do try to do Facebook at least once a day and Twitter 2-3 times a day. Usually it’s more.

Our friends of the libraries email newsletter goes out once a quarter.

At least 4 a day around 10, 12, 2, and 4.
