Instagram is a social media tool with a focus on images accompanied by up to 360 words (kind of like this).
The brain processes images far more rapidly than text; in other words, we understand messages through images faster than through text. Instagram is a way to effectively and quickly communicate the FAU Libraries story.

Here is a sample post from the Libraries’ Social Media Summit. I used my cellphone to take this picture of my co-workers at my presentation (thank you for being social media guinea pigs), and then added brief content and related hashtags before posting it.
