Facebook

Students must create a Facebook account which will become an integral tool for this subject. It is anticipate that having access to the student's Facebook page will enable the teacher to access links to all other social media accounts created by the student for the course. This Facebook account will enable the student to follow other students via their Facebook pages and to interact with the Facebook accounts of library related organisations.
