Abstract

Social networking sites (SNSs) are popular platforms for communication. Social networking services are useful for bringing individuals together to work on a common purpose. Nowadays, SNSs help to enhance libraries and their services. SNS has considerably transformed traditional library services and information resources. Librarians can use SNS to communicate with many users at once and offer these the same information. Social networking platforms are a growing trend in libraries, enabling staff to connect with clients on a more personal basis. This study’s main goal is to describe social networking sites (SNSs) use, benefits, and purpose in the context of libraries.
