As part of Thing 15, I searched through Tumblr for library specific accounts. Two (active) accounts that stood out to me were the Bodleian Libraries and Turning the Book Wheel by the Smithsonian Libraries. The Bodleian Libraries Tumblr provides an insight into the work at the library from interesting collections finds to conservation work. It seems to be consistently updated and is a great insight into the Bodleian Libraries, but it is mostly being used as a tool to direct people to information and resources outside of Tumblr and that are specific to the Bodleian. While this is a good promotion strategy, on Tumblr, I would prefer to observe accounts that are more focused on collections finds and less on promotion. An example of this is the Smithsonian Libraries account which highlights interesting findings in their collections with some context and links to further information. There were also some wonderful accounts focused on the unique architecture of libraries.
