Checking-in Versus Checking-out: using location-based social networking

Danielle Kane, Research Librarian for Emerging Technologies and Service Innovation @ UC Irvine
March 25, 2013 @ 12:30 PM
Services like Foursquare are location-based social networking websites for mobile devices. Users "check in" at venues and offer tips or reviews about the location.  Check-ins can award user points, sometimes "badges", and even "Mayorships" for a location.  This session will cover how to claim/create sites in Foursquare and Yelp, how to manage the site, statistics provided and some ideas for how to use these services with your library patrons.

Accessing the Presentation
Presenters will be presenting using Google+ Hangouts On Air, because of the limited number of participants we ask that everyone watches the live stream on our YouTube Page at: http://www.youtube.com/user/carlit335
