Conduct Buy-In and SWOT Analysis• Administration- provide short articles, tell the
story, highlight facts, down play tech, be aware of in-house competition, demonstrate other social media uses, get them involved, and provide in-house training.
• Staff- approach each as an individual, do not assume the staff knows or uses in house training, and provide time to learn before roll out to the public.

Create a Social Media Strategy
• Identify which goals to address first
• Put in place learning systems to support the goal
• Determine if you will participate in dialog, support or innovate
21
Create a Social Media Strategy
• Decide how open you want to be (remember your audience)
• Use the openness audit to see how open you can be
• Identify your barriers
• Determine what, if any, metrics you will use
22
Have a Social Media Strategy?
Who do you want to connect with?
Family? Friends? Co-workers? Business prospects?
What do you want to discuss or not discuss?
Pending cases? Names? Private information? Balance personal and professional information carefully. Ask yourself how information could be misused.
How will you provide information?
Who will have permission to post? How frequently will you commit to posting? What platforms will you use?
How will it be accessed?
Is it publicly shared?
Where will you get your content from?
What topics will you discuss? What will you monitor to identify content? Who will be responsible for creating content?
What are your barriers?
Technological? Ethical? Legal? Political?

We have a question for all of you!
Have you seen a negative social media post about your library? If so, what, if anything did you did? If not, what do you believe you would do if you saw such a post?
