Since the invention of smartphones and their subsequent development into pocket-sized computers, PDAs, and virtual assistants, it has become possible to harness the power of the Internet to communicate from almost anywhere. As the hardware has developed, so too have the ways in which we communicate; and what we call social media has now been an integral part of life for over 20 years now. In that time-frame, it has revolutionised so many aspects of our lives that it is now difficult to imagine a world without social media in some form. 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 raised their heads.

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 recent published scholarship in this area, this title also includes practical tips and consideration of how the platforms can be used to support knowledge and library service provision in healthcare settings.

Aimed at new users of social media in their services and LIS students, it will provide provide them with in-depth social media knowledge and practical tips of, and how it applies in library service in a healthcare environment.
