Social media has now been an integral part of life for over 20 years, revolutionising so many
aspects of our lives that it is now difficult to imagine a world without it. As smartphone
technology has matured and users have grown more sophisticated in their use of various
social media platforms, concerns about privacy, ethics, censorship, and misinformation have
grown and become more complex.
Social Media in Healthcare Information provides an overview of current and recent
developments in social media, concentrating on the most influential and well-established
platforms. In addition to drawing together some of the most recently published scholarship in
this area, this necessary book includes practical tips and considerations of how the platforms
can be used to support knowledge and library service provision in healthcare settings as well
as
- the use of social media in healthcare research and medical education
- COVID-19 and misinformation
- digital inequalities and technological barriers
- confidentiality, privacy and security
- social media campaigns, data analysis and trends
- AI, big data and the future-proofing the profession
Aimed at new and existing users of social media in their services and LIS students, this
essential guide will provide readers with in-depth social media knowledge and authoritative
guidance on how it applies to library services in a healthcare environment.
