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
