Scarily, too close for comfort to some dystopian sci-fi film but on its way.  That we know that this can happen is useful so we can protect against it, knowledge is power.

UCISA Social Media Toolkit - a practical guide for achieving benefits and managing risk

From www.ucisa.ac.uk - December 15, 2015 8:33 AM

This Toolkit stems from growing interest in the use of social media within the UCISA community. With institutional stakeholders looking increasingly to their information services departments for support in this area, our members sought a reference guide to help them answer a range of questions on related topics. More than that, however, they were seeking practical, contextual examples of use that would inspire others within their institution to take advantage of the affordances of a set of tools that offer new forms of engagement and ways to enhance many aspects of everyday business practice. We would like to thank the numerous UCISA colleagues, and others within the wider higher education community, who have contributed to the production of this Toolkit by providing examples and reviewing content. We hope the examples given here will encourage many more of you to try new approaches to supporting core university functions via social media tools.

Fiona Harvey's insight:

Great new resource with clear sections and useful information.  It was very nice of them to acknowledge everyones contributions.

After a social media mishap, 28% of companies have reported damage to their brand, or a loss of customer trust averaging a cost of over $638,000.
Fiona Harvey's insight:

Great set of tips for those interested in using social media to gain a reputation.  Can be useful for educators as I have been at conferences where the hashtag has been trending and someone tweets something just to promote themselves with very little relevance to the proceedings. Bad form, and we all have seen through it.
