Social media provides a valuable opportunity to connect with others in the profession, and to keep up to date with developments. It can also be overwhelming and time consuming.
On this page you will find a collation of links in various platforms. I don't suggest you follow all of them, but they may be helpful to give you some ideas. Please add suggestions in the comments below of links you think others may find helpful.
Many organizations have a presence on Twitter, follow them to see their posts. Use the # (hashtag) to see, and contribute to, tweets on a particular topic, for example a tweet that says:" #lthechat hello world" - will be found by anyone looking for that topic by entering the #lthechat into the search bar in Twitter.

The Serious Leisure Podcast: In this podcast Petia Petrova, Kat Branch and Sam Elkington discuss Robert Stebbins’ landmark concept of Serious Leisure and how it can help us re-evaluate the place of leisure in our lives. Episodes feature colleagues from both UWE Bristol and Teesside University, who share fascinating stories about the challenges and rewards of making time for life outside work. In each episode we wrestle with the quest for a balanced life and an authentic self through the remarkable, humorous and unexpected experiences that happen when we get serious about leisure.
