Social Media Record Retention

Our board asked to get feedback from other libraries about how they handle social media records for FOIA purposes. Do you use a company? If so, who? If not, how do you address this? Thanks!

Hi Director Schoon, I'm Kiki, the social media coordinator at Addison Twp. We recently received a sales call from a company talking about social media records and FOIA, so I'm wondering if your library received a call too? Since our social media accounts are public, our entire posting history can be accessed by anyone, anytime. As far as I know, no management company is needed. In my opinion, employing basic proactive, protective measures concerning legal issues is the most important thing to consider. For example, use photography release forms if you post photos of people, include "alt text" on all photos, etc. Thanks, Kiki Greve Addison Twp Public Library Social Media Coordinator & Clerk On Thu, Dec 22, 2022 at 12:16 PM Bobbi Schoon via Michlib-l < michlib-l@mcls.org> wrote:
