What happened at our Digital Friday event in September

On the last Friday of September we held our most recent Digital Friday event at Guildford Library.

Our morning event was Connecting to your customers with social media.  The session was led by Janet Ludley who gave a very interesting presentation on how your business can benefit by using social media.




The session advised business owners on how to build a social media plan for their company and which social network platform would work best.

This was followed by a lunchtime presentation by Jonathan Wakeman about our Oxford University Press resources which are available on our online reference shelf            http://bit.ly/1FaAHTW
