The National Library participates in a variety of social media. Each network has its own particular uses.
Blogs
- Behind the scenes blog where you can find out how we collect, digitise and preserve our material.
- The eloquent page the National Library of Australia's fringe publishing blog.

The Library uses our Twitter account to notify of news, relevant items from our collection and events. Trove, a discovery experience focused on Australia and Australians also has a Twitter account. It focuses on items exposed by this discovery service.
The Library uses our Facebook account to let you know about major events, activities and recent acquisitions. We post photos, videos and links to resources about the Library.
YouTube
YouTube hosts videos of many of the events held at the Library, behind the scenes interviews for many of our publications and of course our famous Christmas party dance routines.
Podcasts
The Library records many of the talks and presentations held here. We make these available as podcasts available in nine categories so you can listen to them any time you like.
Flickr
