WebJunction - Group: Trustee Roles and Responsibilities

Facebook and the Board of Trustees

2009-06-04T16:26:40Z

Hi, all,

We were looking into establishing a Facebook presence for the library, and the Board is the part of the organization with the most experience with it and is probably going to be the group that maintains it. If your library has a Facebook, MySpace, or other social networking presence, what role does your Board play in the process?

We also have to thoughts on how to create the account

have a traditional organizational account in which the library has fans
create an individual account with a mascot, which we don't currently have, or the person the library is named on taking on the role of making announcements and presenting information

Does anyone have any thoughts about either option?
