Searching Social Media – Googling Facebook, Searching Twitter

 Stosh Jonjak, Part 1Part 2 “Have you experienced an increase in social media search requests? As attorneys become more likely to turn to social media during their informal discovery processes, I have found an uptick in questions like: “could you please do a social media background check on this person?” This is a growing information need I believe law librarians are excellently suited to fill, and really the next generation of public records search requests. Through conducting these searches and by leaning on the expertise of others I have put together my own toolkit on tricks to use. [Here] I list methods incorporating Google advanced search terms to conduct searches on Facebook [and Twitter] quickly and with high relevancy.”
