Twitter Activity at Recent LIS Academic Conferences

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

The present paper reports on different Twitter activities throughout several library and information science (LIS) focused research conferences which took place over the summer of 2018. Current findings show levels of activity and engagement, both overall and at different time-points throughout the conferences. The study provides descriptive findings about Twitter use and ways in which researchers can analyze social media activities as measures of scholarly communication at academic conferences. Opportunities remain for future in-depth studies of social media and its broader implications for scholarly communications from academic conferences.
