    Great job getting this list going! I just did a Twitter page on Libsuccess (under the “Collaborative Tools in Libraries” header) and added these to it…

    Kista bibliotek (part of Stockholm Public Library) just started twittering as well. Planning to hand out flyers tomorrow - “Do you Twitter? Kista bibliotek does!” - at a music festival (www.hoodsfred.se) taking place outside the library. Will be interesting to see how many will start following us on Twitter.

    Not really a tittering library in the true sense, but my Twitter feed is automatically updated every few minutes with the most commonly used keyword(s) from recent searches on our OPAC.
