Tracking Your Library

There are so many ways to stay on top of things! I had never heard of either Google Alert or Social Mention, but have signed up for both. What an amazing tool! I can see uses for this in several aspects of my life in addition to the library. We send press releases to several news outlets and having an alert show up in my inbox is so much more efficient than having to search for the stories to see if they have been posted. And knowing what the public is saying about us is certainly useful. I can see tracking ideas people talk about in order to plan new programming or offer new services.
