Vanderbilt University uses social media tools like YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and Flickr to share information about campus activities with the world. More importantly, these tools offer a kind of "conversation" between the institution and students, faculty, staff, fans and friends that is more immediate and direct than traditional forms of communication.

The University's "Social Media Strategy Worksheet" lists eight key items to consider when developing a social media presence using any platform. Among these considerations are:

  • Team: Identify who will be in charge of creating, maintaining and monitoring the organization's presence on a given site.
  • Primary Goals: Determine the purpose and goals for establishing a social media presence.
  • Measuring success: Determine how success (or lack of success) will be measured.
