Should Your Library Have a Social Media Policy?
I was thinking that Mashable’s latest post by Sharlyn Lauby titled “Should Your Company Have a Social Media Policy?” could easily be applied to libraries. Since many libraries have begun adopting social media tools, it stands to reason that some may be considering developing such a policy. The article covers the Five W’s to creating a social media policy:
- WHY have such a policy?
- WHAT can social media do for my organization?
- WHO should the policy cover?
- WHERE should you let employees know about this policy?
- WHEN is the right time to implement a policy?
I’d be really interested to hear what else you might add to a library-specific Social Media policy – please add your suggestions in the comments!

Thought-provoking article. Especially since social media is here to stay.
Thank you.
