Sarah Houghton-Jan discusses the good, bad, and ugly aspects of libraries using social network profiles. The good includes using uniform usernames and generic emails for identity and quickly replying to users in a personal tone for communication. The ugly covers using random usernames and outdated profiles for identity and being slow to reply or using an institutional tone selectively with users. She provides two examples and resources for managing social network profiles.
