University of Montana Launches Searchable Directory Of Social Media Channels

Social media creates a paradox for college campuses. While Facebook, Twitter and other networks help build communities at The University of Montana, those communities have been disconnected from the University’s Web pages.

Now there’s a new tool at UM that facilitates a connection between the two. It’s called Community Hub and is online at http://www.umt.edu/communityhub/. The first release of Community Hub includes about 40 campus social media communities.

Community Hub is a searchable directory of UM-related social media channels developed by the IT web team that can be used to find UM content on Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and YouTube. It also catalogs UM blogs and email listservs. Sites are searchable by keywords and categorized by subject and social media platform.
