<p class=MsoNormal>Hi everyone, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I recently wrote a blog post on using Twitter for
organizations. Someone posted a question on my blog that I am not sure
how to answer—perhaps you can help me?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Are tweets by a library or other state agency public records
and do they fall under the Oregon Public Record laws:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><a

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>What do you think? I believe they are public records
and we would have to archive our tweets and make them available for
public review.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>What do you think?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Any help would be appreciated!<o:p></o:p></p>
