Social media is becoming a popular topic around UT Southwestern. Did you know the UT Southwestern Library Facebook page was one of the first departmental pages on Facebook? The Library wants to help others define their social media presence and policy by featuring a survey, class, and webinar all dedicated to Facebook this month.
The Library will conduct a brief online questionnaire via Survey Monkey this month to assess the effectiveness of its Facebook page in promoting Library resources, services, programs, and events. The questionnaire will be active until March 22, 2010.
On March 16, a new Library class for anyone who participates on Facebook is Managing Personal Privacy on Facebook from 11 a.m. to 12 noon in E2.310A. This class will discuss ethical issues surrounding personal use of social networking sites by biomedical professionals as well as explain Facebook’s new privacy policy and settings for personal pages.
The Library will sponsor a special one-hour webinar on March 25 at 12 noon in the Library Administration Conference Room. The webinar is entitled Facebook & Twitter: Legal Liabilities & HIPAA Compliance in Healthcare and is intended for UT Southwestern administrators in need of guidance in establishing a social media policy and presence. Enrollment is on the Library Classes page. Space is limited to 30 attendees.
