Memorandum of Understanding Social media activity from these state agencies will be
continually captured, indexed, and made available publically. Content will include both the agency’s public communication and citizen public communication to the agency using the social media outlet. All content will be digitally time stamped and captured on a real-time basis.
Partner state agencies must register each social media account with ArchiveSocial and allow ArchiveSocial access to capture and maintain all records associated with the account.
Data from the social media streams will be publicly available on sc.gov.archivesocial.com, hosted by ArchiveSocial and administered by the State Library.
If the State Library discontinues this service, all collected data will be maintained at the State Library for a minimum of one year, all participants will be notified, and their data will be available for collection for a minimum of one year.

Potential: Tools for Managing Social Media Right now, we are the primary benefactors of
participation; not a lot of incentive Possible tools for managing social media Beta testing for ArchiveSocial Alerts for profanity, questions, personally
identifiable information, keywords
Potential: Tools for Managing Social Media Alerts for keywords would allow us to better
promote all library activities in the state
Future Simpler MOU Better communication to partners Larger account with ArchiveSocial Open to Higher Education? Continued communication to Archives
