Creating a Social Media Policy

 Registration is closed for this event
According to a 2016 study by Pew Research, 51% of respondents said their company has a social media policy. Does your library have a social media policy that explains how your library uses social media, provide direction for staff use of social media at work, and how to handle comments from the public?
 

In this course, you will learn how to mitigate your library's social media risk with the development of a social media policy.
