I identify with the Forging category because in my experience, social media usage for a public institution has been well-defined and executed exceptionally well. That being said, I do believe there is always room for improvement in everything, so I did not select Fusing due to not having a full grasp on its potential yet. For example, at my public library, we use Facebook and Twitter quite often and well. Our following has been strong, our postings have been informative and creative, and we follow a set policy on what can be publicly posted. However, we have not explored other types of social media platforms well (e.g., Instagram, LinkedIn, Tumblr) and we have separation between the Teen services and general services that shows quite a difference …show more content…
I would assume this director does not use any social media platforms on his or her own and most likely has not had a positive experience in usage. My first step is to identify the most popular social media platform (I would select Facebook and Twitter) and present a few exceptionally well-done institutions to showcase how it is being used. The New York Public Library (@nypl) and the Library of Congress (@librarycongress)’s Twitter feeds have large followings and present highly educational, creative tweets to their followers. Additionally, I would show American Library Association’s Facebook page to highlight how they present events, information, and share stories with their followers. This library director may need more than just visual examples and I would also share recent research performed regarding social media usage as well as materials in our collection on businesses of all sizes utilize the various platforms. Lastly, I would encourage a trial period using Twitter to have the library director watch it develop and try it out his or …show more content…
What are the issues she is struggling with? What can we change to make the workplace better? Next, I would discuss with my team on implementing a social media policy and include a section on Employee Usage; while the employee has the right post freely on her own time by the protection of the First Amendment, her actions still pose a threat to her employment. Lastly, once the policy is in effect after going through the necessary binding process, the employee will need to understand how her future actions will affect her position in the workplace. I believe that once the awareness has been made and that her blog will need to be properly identified that her personal views do not reflect the library’s view, it is quite possible that the employee will reconsider her actions.
The Eisenhower Public Library created a fairly comprehensive social media policy, which covers all of the necessary aspects needed. As a few things of note, I appreciated the Definition section in order to highlight the keywords used in regards to social media. Additionally, their Disclaimer section contained more details than most policies I have been looking over and furthermore, having a Reporting Violations section is definitely
A legally astute social media manager can take advantage of social media by taking the proactive approach. The type of dispute resolution that works the best is negotiation. The best way to control social media transactions is to use the Federal Communications Commence to police it. The branch of government that could regulate social media the best would be the Legislative Branch. The agency relationship that works the best with social media is the authority of electronic agents.
Eggs came first. Millions of years before mammals, eggs existed, their hard shells unlike her mammalian sister who waddles around, heavily crippled with the burden of her womb. Eggs conferred evolutionary advantage.
Have you ever wondered how some athletes have gotten so good at a certain sport? Have you ever thought about what they did in order for them to get this good? For some the answer is simple; workout and train. But for others the answer is different; the use of performance enhancing drugs such as steroids. There are some people that argue that steroids should be legalized and allowed in professional sports. Other people argue that steroids should not be allowed. Today I am going to state my opinion and justify my reason. Steroids should not be allowed in professional sports because it can be very dangerous to the athlete’s health, it is a way to gain and un-fair advantage and it can be dangerous in both social and physical aspects.
“The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him” (G.K. Chesterton). A soldier is a soldier no matter what. If they fight behind a screen, on the front line, or from a controller as long as they’re protecting this country, the people in it, and the people fighting for it they are honorable. Some think that because one does their fighting from a remote control drone means that they have no understanding of war, and in some ways that is true, but they are still taking someone’s life when they choose to press that button just like the solders on the front line takes someone’s life when they pull the trigger. Both people are fighting the same fight: they love the country they are defending the people in it they just do it from different standpoints. Drones
Imagine dedicating your life to a university not only on the academic level, but also the athletic level. With a full scholarship your time is dedicated to getting to class on time, finishing assignments, and making it to mandatory practices while also maintaining a strict workout schedule. With your day pretty much full of responsibilities, you do not have the time for a job to pay for anything that you may need outside of tuition, books, and housing. If your car breaks down or you run out of gas you have to pay for that out of your own pocket which is fairly difficult when you do not have an income to cover the costs and if you accept money or free services from any businesses, you could lose you eligibility as a NCAA athlete and lose your
Popular culture influences all kinds of art, music, literature, beliefs, and values not only in America but in other countries as well.
The need to embrace, understand and utilize social media has come from the top down, literally. President Obama won the election largely due to money raised from grassroots donations and by reaching people through social media. Additionally, the President signed the “Open Government Directive” which makes transparency in government a requirement on all levels. This directive has a handful of unprecedented benefits. For the first time ever, all federal agencies were required to have two way communication with citizens. Additionally, citizens could make suggestions, vote up or down others’ ideas, and have an active voice in government through Twitter or replying to blog posts which was previously seen as near impossible.

I should receive a passing grade in this class because I can write now. Not just an exaggeration, but after another semester of English I finally feel confident that can write. Three of the reasons behind my confidence is I learned, I experienced and best of all I repeated. These three values helped prepare me for what is in store in English 1302 and here is why.
Social media is an imperative public relations tool for companies to utilize in their business practices. Social media cannot be regulated so anyone can say what they please about the company, whether it is good, bad or ugly. Social media is developing rapidly and there are new platforms
Social media is a revolutionary way to connect to friends and family through a single app much like Facebook. Also allowing the public to be more informed on current events whether that would be an issue in today 's society all the way to a heartwarming story or a funny video. Although this sounds amazing and the fact that this type of news outlet is practically new. An issue arises that involves “fake news” and with that comes many opinions on what to do about it. I believe that people browsing these platforms should have a little bit of skepticism behind each story and if it the topic truly intrigues someone then they should look into the topic on a reliable resource before passing on the authors misinformation.
The way I personally use social media is by being very professional online with my post or conversations. In addition, I tend not to post too much online and utilize the privacy options to ensure that people who are not on my friend list cannot view my
Social media although a great tool can become an addiction ultimately affecting our lives and state of mind. That is why we need to limit the amount of time and information we share on social networks. Although the internet is a tool full of good and bad available to everyone, teenagers and young adults are more prone to falling into the traps of the internet. People also abuse social media and overuse it every day because they are concerned with what is happening every hour. Social media is a tool not a necessity and should never be abused or used as a diary because it could result in unwanted consequences that can hurt us in the future.
Today social media has become a big influence on society. There are many different social media sites that allow people to interact with others. Such social media sites are Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. There are many more different sites, but these are the popular networks that are being used today. These sites allow you to connect with anybody you want to. Social media sites can make you feel connected with others and seem like the best thing, but at the same time it can be a weakness that many of us have.
We live in a world that has become addicted and dedicated toward social media and it is driving America’s youth into the ground. Teenagers and adults are so wrapped up in social media that is runs their lives every day. Constantly people are checking their phones for the latest on social networks. They have to see pictures, tweets, statuses, comments, likes, and the list goes on and on. Social media is becoming the focus point in the modern American society that it is beginning to control people’s social skills, communication skills, and their livelihood.
