For this week's "Play" activity we were required to find the Facebook page of an information organisation and share it with our classmates. I chose the Facebook page of a volunteer-run organisation called "I Need A Library Job."
Click HERE for a link to their website.
I can’t remember exactly how I found this Facebook page, but it has been interesting all the same. I think it is a great example of an organisation using Facebook, especially in terms of the promotion of their website. The majority of posts on the Facebook page are links to articles that have been written specifically for the INALJ website and direct users to that space. The downside of the Facebook page is that it does not encourage community participation outside of commenting on posts, instead, they would rather you go to the website before posting a job listing or interesting article. To me, Facebook is a great space for community participation and limiting this participation seems to defeat the purpose of having a Facebook page at all. Nevertheless, this website is a fantastic resource for anyone looking for a library job internationally.
