University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Library Social Media Policy
As the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa Library works to meet our users’ information needs, we strive to improve your library experience. Social media lets us share these efforts with you, whether an exciting event, a thought-provoking display, new services, or the latest library news. Social media also gives us an opportunity to hear from you, the people we serve. We will share information with you in a respectful manner and ask that you do the same. To create a safe environment that is conducive to the exchange of ideas, we will delete comments if they contain, in the judgment of library staff:
● Profanity, obscenity, or vulgarity
● Private, personal information published without permission
● Comments that infringe on copyrights
● Political campaigning
● Spam or posts intended to sell items or services
● Hate speech
● Defamation to a person or group of people
● Name-calling, personal attacks, or threats
● Other content prohibited by the UH Systemwide Workplace Non-Violence Policy (http://www.hawaii.edu/policy/?action=viewPolicy&&policySection=ep&policyChapter=9&policyNumber=210)
Repeated violations of these guidelines may result in the commenter being blocked from commenting on our social media pages. The comments posted to our social media pages by subscribers do not reflect the views of the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa Library, the University of Hawai‘i (UH) system, or the State of Hawai‘i. Non-UH links posted by us do not constitute an official endorsement of that site on our behalf. The Library does not collect, maintain, or otherwise use personal information stored on any social media site other than to communicate with users on that site. Approved on 01/05/2015,
Irene Herold, University Librarian
