Libraries will show more interest in the use of social networking sites to reach their customers in 2013. Some of the predictions are:
1. Libraries will increase their usage of pinterest. This is especially true for public libraries.
2. More libraries will create a presence on Google +. Many already have one but we will see the number of libraries who have on increase.
3. Libraries will increase their social media classes offerings. Offering more advanced classes on networking with social media and social media integration and they are getting popular.
4. Libraries will find more and better ways to engage with their followers on twitter and to increase their numbers of followers.
5. Libraries will focus more on how to help their patrons use social media for job searching and careers.
6. Libraries will become more of an education resource for patrons on how to properly use social media.
7. Google places will become more relevant and useful for libraries just like it is for other local businesses.
8. Library websites will integrate more social media.
9. More libraries will create mobile websites and focus on mobile applications. This also applies to database providers. While many of them have had mobile apps for a year or more, this is a trend that will by the end of this year apply to all of them.
10. Google chat will increase as a viable method for offering reference services.
