Business
Digital Signature Pads & Policies. Purpose of these pads is to keep patron information secure & switch completely to an e-mail system of contact. Vote was taken to join the Digital Signature Menu Service in Spring of 2013. Moore motioned to check Yes, I want to be in the group purchase for the digital signature pad. Number I plan to purchase would be 2. Otto Seconded the motion-all approved the motion. The Digital Signature pads estimated cost is 295.00 however, if purchased as a group the price could be lower. The cost of the service would be around a 100.00 per year depending on how many libraries use the service
