Instagram (in this writer’s opinion) is one of the most fun social media sites. Being able to beautify your pictures and literally see what your friends are up to without the wordy commentary of Facebook, what’s not to like? Just like any social media app, Instagram has some great shortcuts that can improve its experience.
This article delves deeper into nine tips for beginners, many of which include increasing privacy by blocking random followers and removing location tags from a map. You can also find instructions for viewing every photo you’ve ever liked, and arranging notifications to alert you when someone you follow has posted a new picture.

Although this post was written for schools, it is just as applicable to libraries. People seem to love Canva, and it is a great way to share what is going on in your library, lab, or classroom. More pictures, fewer words are what most people enjoy most. According to freetech4teachers.com…”When you’re creating graphics to use in your library Facebook posts, try to limit the text to only the most important information. In the post itself you can link to more information for parents and or students to read.”
I gave it a whirl based on the little tutorial embedded in this blog post. I didn’t do half bad in the 15 minutes I gave it. Let us know what you think or whether you already use Canva in this way! Better yet, send your Canva creations to admin@cmle.org
Truly inspirational photos and text. Thanks to photographer Kyle Cassidy who embedded himself in the ALA Midwinter Meeting in January, and set up a makeshift studio, we have a nice collection of librarian photos. Deepest appreciation to the librarians who took the moment to sit for a portrait. Do they fit your image of today’s librarians? Steampunk all the way I say!
