SOCIAL MEDIA GOVERNANCE: ACHIEVING BEST PRACTICE
http://www.aslib.com/training/courses/course.htm?course_code=66


Maximize impact and manage risks of corporate social media activity

Social media are important to Library and Information Services: Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and in-house equivalents are changing the way users obtain, share and exploit information.

Information professionals involved with providing services for the social media environment of an organization must understand the associated risks and benefits of doing so. Furthermore, as key players in the information and communication environment, it is likely that information professionals will contribute to internal social media training and management.

This workshop provides a comprehensive understanding of the elements of governance, and more, by examining a variety of case studies and sources. Using practical exercises, it will demonstrate how to bring about good practice in managing both participation in, and the impact of, social media activity for organizations.

*  Illustrations of the benefits to be achieved, and risks to be managed, in using social media to develop organizational brands and dialogue with customers
