Why Open Access and social media?
• Library comprised of resources and services - not just a building
• In Grahamstown, a university town not in a major centre in South Africa
• Short opening hours, for local users
• Resources to users 24/7
• Services, instruction, teaching 24/7
• Coping with time zones 24/7
• Building SAIAB & library networks
• The Library supports citizen science
