This was sent along on 12/23 from Records Manager Neil Harrington to Lt Harrington (No relation) I am passing it long to you.
We do not have a social media policy yet for the use of such software.
We do have one of the listed software programs called Media Sonar. We have a one year subscription that ends this December.
There was no bidding required to get it. We did solicit several others for a test and demonstration. Media Sonar was best for our needs.
That should cover the below request.
From: Beryl Lipton
Hello!
Thanks so much for passing this along. Could I please get a copy of the contract and invoice associated with the Media Sonar subscription, as well as any other instructional information that might be available?
Hope you're having a lovely weekend,
Beryl
