10 Social Media Etiquette Tips for Personal & Business Accounts

This is a link to important Social Media etiquette issues and standards of behaviour when using Social Media in a professional setting.

An example of the content is given below:

Social media use is exploding. Facebook has more than a billion global users, with Twitter, Google+, and LinkedIn boasting hundreds of millions of active accounts. From preteens to senior citizens, every major age group is plugged in, whether they’re engaged in social media marketing, keeping in touch with old friends, or seeking out new connections.

Given today’s prolific social media environment, it’s hard to believe that just 10 years ago, social media barely existed. While it’s great to connect with friends and colleagues anywhere and at any time, this connectivity carries risks. A careless tweet or Facebook post can alienate your loved ones and jeopardize your job.

While increasingly robust privacy settings can help keep your social footprint under wraps, it’s hard to completely shield yourself from view. If you use social media platforms regularly, following proper etiquette can protect you from unfortunate social backlashes.

These are the different ways which libraries use social media!

Hi everyone!

What is a Geisha?

Geisha, geiko  or geigi are traditional Japanese female entertainers who act as hostesses and whose skills include performing various Japanese arts such as classical music, dance, games and conversation, mainly to entertain male customers.

What is a Samurai?

Samurai were the military nobility of medieval and early-modern Japan.

In Japanese, they are usually referred to as bushi. According to translator William Scott Wilson: “In Chinese, the character was originally a verb meaning to wait upon or accompany persons in the upper ranks of society, and this is also true of the original term in Japanese, saburau. In both countries the terms were nominalized to mean “those who serve in close attendance to the nobility”, the pronunciation in Japanese changing to saburai. According to Wilson, an early reference to the word “samurai” appears in the Kokin Wakashū (905–914), the first imperial anthology of poems, completed in the first part of the 10th century.

By the end of the 12th century, samurai became almost entirely synonymous with bushi, and the word was closely associated with the middle and upper echelons of the warrior class. The samurai were usually associated with a clan and their lord, and they followed a set of rules that later came to be known as the bushidō. While the samurai numbered less than 10% of then Japan’s population, their teachings can still be found today in both everyday life and in modern Japanese martial arts.
