Does your library have a social media policy?

Does your library have a social media policy and do you need one? Some things to consider as far as a library social media policy include:

1. If we have a library wiki who can post and contribute?
2. Are we using facebook and if so, who are the admins of our page and can our patrons contribute?
3. If we have a blog what goes on it and how often?
4. How many sites are we going to use for our library?
5. Why are we involved with social networking and is it really contributing to our library’s mission?

There was an article posted in the library journal, Should your library have a social media policy recently which I think all librarians should read.

If you have a social media policy for your library, what does it say? Any thoughts about libraries and social media policies?
