My following

Some following is automatic, e.g. when you become friends with someone, you automatically follow all their events (adding books, reviews, etc). Also when you join a book club, you automatically follow the club's events (adding items, scheduling meetings, etc).

You can choose to follow additional aspects of Connections, e.g. a user (by going to their profile and clicking the “follow this user” icon) or an item (again you'll see the same icon):

On a user profile, the “My following” box will show the latest five events that the user has chosen to follow:

Once you click on “Show more”, you will see a lot more information about your following:

• All events of your friends and other users you follow on Conncetions
• Users who follow your events
• Users whose events you follow
• An option to change “My following” settings

In the “My following” settings you can choose:

• To allow or disallow other users to follow your events
• To allow or disallow showing your events on the Connections bar ticker (this is the bar along the bottom of the library catalogue that opens Connections; it displays latest events across the whole system)
