Jenny >>> Meredith Greiling 07/04/2011 08:59 >>> Good morning, I thought you might find this interesting; the National Museum of America have set up a wiki of examples of social media policies and plans for museums: http://museumsocialmedia.pbworks.com/w/page/38318824/Example-Social-Media-Policies-and-Plans It has contributions of policies from around the world and is definitely worth a browse. I was particularly interested in the Presenting Controversy policy from the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney: Being critical of an opinion or idea is acceptable, when it is done in a professional manner. I hope you will find it interesting.
