If your customers are all tech savvy...then it does become the Only tool... I agree that social media is indeed an important tool for building reputation online.

I make time.” - EXACTLY! If we think something is important enough, we'd make time. I think this is probably the most frequently-asked-question to bloggers. @ Dan - Three years ago, I'd have agreed wholeheartedly with you -- that social media is a 'must' for information professionals. Now, I've moderated my stand that it's not completely a must. Some people may not choose to do it, which is fine. I think there can never be 100% involvement by any single profession. What matters, I think, is how each information professional engage their customers - online or off. “The answer: I don’t. I make time.” – EXACTLY!

Social media is must for public librarians, librarians (who have not completed an MLS) and library paraprofessionals. It is the publish or perish mediam for the rest of us. I agree completely.
