Chapter 2 of Library Technology Reports (vol. 55, no. 2), "General Best Practices, Tools, and Resources"

Chapter 2 of Library Technology Reports (vol. 55, no. 2), “Mastering Mobile through Social Media: Creating Engaging Content on Instagram and Snapchat,” is devoted to general logistical information, tools, and best practices for both Instagram and Snapchat. Before diving into the specifics of each platform (which are covered in the following chapters), Alfonzo begins with some “housekeeping tips” you can employ to ensure your accounts are set up for success, including resources for policy creation, collaboration, and creating trackable links for later social media reporting. She then introduces a list of applications that you can use to boost your content, such as a variety of popular photo and video editors. She concludes this chapter with a list of suggested events you can add to your upcoming content calendar.
