What’s all of the flap about Twitter?

The Russell Library has decided to join the flock of folks who are sharing information using Twitter, a social networking and microblogging service that allows us to share brief updates via a short text messages 140 characters in length. These messages are called "tweets.”

We imagine we will use Twitter to:
Remind people about upcoming events & exhibits!
Give a view into what we archivists do on a typical day
Share stories about the amusing people and materials that we encounter at the Russell Library

In order to receive these short updates from Russell, sign up for Twitter at www.twitter.com and search for RussellLibrary. When you find us, follow the directions to join our flock.
