Social Media Use in the Public Sector: The Evolving Legal Landscape & Unique Challenges
Abstract
Social media, originally started as a personal and social networking tool, is now an essential resource in the workplace.

The practical benefits of use of social media in the workplace cannot be overemphasized.
