IMPORTANT NOTICE


Facebook has verified the changes requested to LibraryAware's posting integration. However, posts scheduled before today may fail starting Sunday, February 12. Please reschedule them after your pages have been reauthorized.

ACTION NEEDED: To continue posting to Facebook, your library must reauthorize LibraryAware to post to your Facebook pages as soon as possible, preferably by February 13. Any pages not reauthorized will be listed as invalid. NOTE: This may only be done by the person who is an administrator both in LibraryAware and for your organization’s Facebook page(s). To start the reauthorization, follow the steps below under "REAUTHORIZE A FACEBOOK PAGE." For help, please use Live Chat in LibraryAware weekdays from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET. You may also email us at libraryaware@ebsco.com. 


It's easy to post your LibraryAware items directly to Facebook and Twitter. An Administrator on your account will first need to authorize your account under the Admin tab. Only Publishers and Administrators can post to your library’s accounts.

AUTHORIZE A FACEBOOK PAGE: 
Before you can post to one of your organization’s Facebook pages, you must first authorize Facebook to pull content from your LibraryAware account. You can authorize as many Facebook pages as you like. If you have multiple Facebook pages authorized, you will be able to select which page to add your content to when you post an Item to Facebook.

Note: You must already have the permissions to post to your organization’s Facebook page from your own personal Facebook account, before you can authorize LibraryAware to post to Facebook.

*** Make sure that you are logged out of your personal Facebook account in your browser before you add your organization's Facebook account to LibraryAware. If you are not logged out in the browser, you will get a blank pop-up window instead of seeing the login page for Facebook for the authentication process in LibraryAware. ***
  1. Click the Authorize button under the Facebook Settings heading.



  2. The Facebook login will appear in a pop-up window. Follow the prompts to login and select the page(s) you want to authorize. Note: This will not give other LibraryAware users access to your personal Facebook account, just to the Facebook pages for which you are an admin.

  3. At the LibraryAware Social Accounts page, you will now see the page listed under Currently Authorized Facebook Pages.



  4. If you need to authorize additional pages under a different login, log out of Facebook before repeating steps 1-3.
