Social media data is a popular material for research and a new format for building collections. What does it take to collect meaningfully from Twitter, Tumblr, YouTube, Weibo, Facebook, and other sites? We will:
* Introduce options for collections, including both high- and low-end commercial offerings. Discuss what it means to collect these resources, covering boundaries, policies, and workflows required to develop a social media collection program in your institution.
* Explore the Twitter API in depth, with "hands-on" opportunities for those w/laptops and others who want to team up w/them
* Help you get started using the free [http://gwu-libraries.github.io/social-feed-manager Social Feed Manager] (SFM) app we're developing at GW to create your first collections. We’ll demo its use, and demo a clean install (those w/environments can follow along)
