«This book gives Twitter users the tools to successfully begin, based upon case studies used in a variety of institutions. It also offers an excellent array of ways to think about using Twitter differently for those who feel like they’ve learned all there is to know about it. Use this for yourself, and use it as a means of forging a dialog within your institution for strengthening your Twitter game in order to make your voice one that your patrons turn to again and again»
