English abstract
This paper generally elucidates Social Media Applications (SMAs) and their use in the library and information science field. SMAs play an important role in disseminating information and allowing users instant knowledge of their needs. Nowadays, everyone is connected via different SMAs like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, Flicker etc. Social Media Applications are one of the latest technologies that enable academic libraries to communicate with their users. SMAs have become an excellent medium to substitute the knowledge and skills of LIS professionals and users. SMAs have become a potential tool for saving money and promoting library and information services. The authors have attempted to provide insights into some spectacular examples of libraries worldwide using the SMAs and to emphasize the role of information professionals doing the same in the digital library environment.
