Policies and best practices
Social media is an important component of the integrated marketing effort that's coordinated centrally by the Marketing Team to support our overall communications strategy. When we post to social media outlets on behalf of the MIT Libraries, our postings represent the Libraries’ brand/identity, as well as the larger MIT brand. With this in mind, we follow MIT's social media guides for MIT communicators.
...
- Be mindful of the diversity of our audience, and sensitive to a wide-range of views
- Make sure our language or tone does not offend anyone
- Steer clear of posting about controversial topics in the news, and political views
