SOCIAL MEDIA POLICY FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF MILAN LIBRARY SERVICE

The University Library Service is present on social media through the individual profiles of the various member libraries. The social networks complement the SBA Portal (www.sba.unimi.it), which is the official communication channel.
We provide indications below for the correct use of the social media of the libraries in our system.
The use of SBA social media implies acceptance of the following policy.
Since this document may be subject to modifications and updates, we invite you to consult it periodically.

1. External Social Media Policy

The SBA social profiles are managed by the editorial staff of each library. Teaching staff, researchers and doctoral students can also contribute to the selection and drafting of content.
For an overview of the various SBA accounts on social network platforms and for related contacts, see the Appendix.
Objective. Through social media, the SBA supports the University's study and research activities and promotes library services and collections. Its goal is to reach the University community and all the interested parties, encouraging participation, discussion and dialogue.
Each library pursues the common objectives mentioned above in relation to its own disciplinary area of ??reference.
Content. SBA libraries:

• promote and enhance services and collections;
• communicate service information;
• publicize events and initiatives organized by the libraries, by reference departments or by the University;
• publish contents or initiatives to support study and research activities;
• share contents or initiatives by other organizations or by people of interest to their community, and consistent with the purposes outlined above.

Usage Rules. The SBA encourages participation by allowing everyone to post comments, contents or messages as long as they are consistent with its purposes. Exchanges must be civil, based on the use of appropriate language, common sense and courtesy.

We also wish to remind you that:
by using a specific social platform you accept the terms and conditions for its use; each user is personally responsible for the content he/she publishes and the opinions expressed. The topics and discussions must be of public interest. Participants must not refer to personal examples and must respect the specific topic of each discussion.
It is best to express opinions accurately and with restraint, relying as much as possible on facts that are verified and respecting the opinion of others.
For example, the following are considered inappropriate:

• insults, offenses, threats, vulgarity and contributions that disrupt the discussion;
• content that is discriminatory, defamatory, immoral, encouraging toward illicit activities, hatred or intolerance;
• pornographic content or links to pornographic content;
• spam, advertising or propaganda, as well as contributions that are inserted repeatedly;
• off-topic comments that are not relevant to the subject or to the discussion;
• content containing personal data in violation of the privacy law (Legislative Decree no. 196/2003);
• content in violation of copyright law.

The SBA social media are moderated during the individual libraries’ opening hours.
There is no preventive censorship, but the libraries can ignore, hide or remove inappropriate content and block the authors if necessary, reporting them to the platform managers and possibly to the appropriate authorities.

Privacy. The processing of personal user data follows the policies for the different platforms used. Personal data shared in comments or contributions within the social profiles activated by the libraries, or through private messages, will be processed in compliance with the Italian privacy law (Legislative Decree No. 196/2003).
See the ‘Information for Users of the University Library Service’ for information regarding the processing of personal data. The comments and messages that are posted may be used for statistical and research purposes, and for improving services in general.

2. Internal Social Media Policy

Employees who interact with institutional social media using their own account must do so in a personal capacity and are required to observe respectful behaviour of the institution in which they work.
Confidential information must not be disclosed, nor information regarding work activities, services, projects or documents that have not yet been made public, nor should problems related to the workplace be disseminated.
