    Hi, I attended your session on Social Media and have now read the IL Sec of State's information on Government Records Law and Social Media. I've been less successful at finding a decent Terms of Use for our library Facebook page. Would you happen to have a sample of a Terms of Use that we could use as a starting point, tailoring it to our individual library?
