From ReishK at michigan.gov Fri Nov 1 08:49:38 2013 From: ReishK at michigan.gov (Reish, Karren (MDE)) Date: Fri, 1 Nov 2013 12:49:38 +0000 Subject: [Michlib-l] Library inflation calculator for Advocacy Message-ID: Please take a look at the calendar at the link below. It will allow you to input funds received in one year and funds received in another and show how much lower your funding is with inflation taken into account. You can accurately show just how much more of a cut a straight percentage decline actually is. Very nice work from the State Library of North Carolina. Karren Reish Library Grants Coordinator Library of Michigan 517-241-0021 reishk at michigan.gov Subject: Library inflation calculator Hey team, Yesterday built this online calculator for our libraries in case they need help adjusting for inflation and per capita inflation-adjusted dollars. http://plstats.nclive.org/stateaid_inflation_calculator.php. It lets them choose a historic year and input a historic $ value (could be state aid, local revenue, any money related to running a library) and then input current day $ to compare. Optionally they can input legal service population area for the historic and current time periods. Then it gives them the percentage change their $ has seen during the given time period in inflation-adjusted dollars, as well as per capita inflation-adjusted dollars. Let me know if you see any errors or think it's too confusing and needs to be further clarified in some way. Hopefully I did all the math right! This could actually be used by any library in the country because the inflation index for libraries is not specific to NC, it's a national index. Happy Halloween!

Our door count for the drop-in 10am to 3 pm event was 300. We were surprised to see 35 folks pretty much glued to their seats for the day! One attendee commented, "motivated me to keep on with my book." Another said, "Lots of great info! Information I wish I had before I published." And, "Meeting local publishers; being with writers; sharing info--inspiring!" As an affiliate of the Michigan Center for the Book, this event (and others like it that MCFB has supported in the past) make our membership a cost-benefit positive by far. On top of it, the MCFB meetings are themselves an incredible platform for finding out what works and what doesn't in event planning, who to contact (and possibly, who to avoid). As well as programming on a shoestring, building community partnerships, and sharing resources for member libraries. Yep, this is an out-and-out plug to get your library to become a Michigan Center for the Book affiliate! ceci From fabak at libcoop.net Mon Nov 4 18:46:15 2013 From: fabak at libcoop.net (fabak at libcoop.net) Date: Mon, 4 Nov 2013 15:46:15 -0800 Subject: [Michlib-l] Resources for Small Business from Michigan Electronic Library Message-ID: <441f1bb563d50168b724e35f3cc41d0c@libcoop.net> Hello, As we know, Michigan Electronic Library provides a number of free resources for business owners and aspiring business owners.

Library staff and community members are encouraged to apply to be a community representative. DPLA Community Reps will be selected based on their creative ideas, experience, and geographic distribution. The DPLA will be accepting the first class of Reps in early December 2013 and additional classes in the future. DPLA Community Reps The DPLA wants you! We are looking for volunteers to help us spread the word in local communities. If you are enthusiastic about open access, digital collections, and the potential of a national digital library, get involved in building the DPLA by becoming a DPLA Community Rep. DPLA Community Reps will: * Organize activities that promote the DPLA as a service, tool, or platform using DPLA materials; * Share outputs (blog posts, group notes, Storify stories, images, video, etc.); * Check in with DPLA staff about progress and share experiences via the DPLA Reps listserv; * Be willing to participate in speaking or event opportunities; and * Represent the DPLA formally as an acknowledged Rep on our website and informally through various networks. Reps will receive a "box" containing DPLA slidedecks, event ideas, one-pagers, and swag to use in their efforts. The DPLA staff will also offer periodic webinars to share updates, new activities, and new resources. DPLA Community Reps will be selected based on their creative ideas, experience, and geographic distribution. We will be accepting our first class of Reps in early December 2013 and additional classes in the future.

For example, do you only advertise library/Friends events? Do you allow groups using library meeting rooms to advertise on the electronic sign? What about events that may not be occurring in the library or on the library grounds but may benefit the community as a whole? Do you ever charge for use of the electronic sign? I understand local ordinances may direct much of this policy, but we are interested in successes (and challenges) in sign use. Thank you for your assistance, Diane Cutler Diane M.

The contest, which includes cash prizes of up to $250 and publication for winners in children, teen and adult categories, is sponsored by Kent District Library, Schuler Books & Music, Pooh's Corner and Capital Area District Libraries in Lansing. Nearly 600 Michigan writers entered in its inaugural year. The goal this year is to receive 1,000 short story submissions for Write Michigan, said Heidi Nagel, KDL communications manager. "At this time, we still have fewer than 200 stories submitted, but the website visits are nearly double what we experienced over the same period last year. It wouldn't surprise me to have several hundred stories come in very close to the deadline as people tweak and tweak until their stories are perfect." Online voting to determine Readers' Choice winners runs January 6 - 31, and a panel of judges will determine the recipient of the Judges' Choice award. Winners will be honored during an awards ceremony at the Kentwood (Richard L. Root) KDL branch at 2:00 PM on March 22, 2014. The awards ceremony will feature a keynote address by author Kentwood native Kristina Riggle. Her fifth novel, The Whole Golden World, is published by HarperCollins this month. Riggle will also write the foreword to the 2014 Write Michigan Anthology of winning stories, to be published by Schuler Books & Music in a Chapbook Press book. For more information, visit www.writemichigan.org. Kent District Library is a public library system comprised of 18 branch libraries in 27 governmental units throughout Kent County, Michigan.

He is a wonderful speaker, very bright and knowledgeable is also very funny and engaged the entire audience. I still have people coming back to thank me for hosting the program. He sold all of his books at the program. He's very easy to work with, his rates are negotiable; he would love to provide his workshop in different libraries. He recently gave an inservice and trained the staff at Lyon Township. I spoke to Michelle Fields and said he was delightful, they loved him. We are going to have him back in the winter/spring for a few more programs.

It?s a well known fact that a crime could happen to anyone at anytime. If it happened to you what would you do? Can you defend yourself? Now is asgood a time as any to learn! Join us on Monday, September 30 at 7:00 pm in the Friend?s Auditorium for a workshop with Lee Shaykhet, creator of specialized methods of self-defense. Mr. Shaykhet will teach you how to defend yourself, as well as get in shape in as little as ten minutes a day. Mr. Shaykhet was born in Moscow, and early in his career trained members of the former Soviet Army. He has provided self defense and fitness instruction to law enforcement agencies, military organizations, and security and consulting companies all over the United States and Canada. He has also trained body guards for special events. Traditional self defense systems are normally complicated and require lots of practice, thus too hard for everyday citizens to follow and maintain. Mr. Shaykhet?s program is uncomplicated, based on natural instinct, and does not require a lot of practice. His fitness training originated from training the military; no equipment is required and it can be done anywhere, regardless of your current physical condition. Mr. Shaykhet was contacted as a self defense and security expert for an exclusive interview with Fox 2 Detroit, where he discussed the Boston Marathon Bombings and Profiling in America. Lee will also be promoting his recently published book, *Simple Self-Defense Techniques Everyone Should Know.* Please let me know if you have any questions. -- Mary Ann DeKane Head of Public Services Royal Oak Public Library 248-246-3714 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Spies Public Library will host key stakeholders who will reflect on this momentous occasion. Merit Network will announce a significant milestone for the project and answer questions on how the community can take advantage of this high-speed network.

Rick Snyder today announced the appointments of Pamela Christensen, of Marquette, and Jennifer Crowley, of Grand Rapids, and the reappointment of Kathy Irwin, of Okemos, to the Library of Michigan board of trustees. The 13-member board makes general policy and budgetary recommendations concerning the Library of Michigan to the Michigan Department of Education. In addition to the governor's appointees, the board consists of members appointed by the Speaker of the House, House Minority Leader and both the Senate Majority and Minority Leaders. "This is an experienced group of appointees and I am confident they will be valuable assets to the board," Snyder said. Christensen is the director of the Peter White Public Library and has more than 30 years of public library experience working in Michigan public libraries. During her tenure at the library, she won the 2010 National Medal for Library Service, undertook a successful $9 million capital campaign, completed a 63,000-square-foot renovation and expansion project, and led a successful $4.5 million bond issue. Prior to joining the Peter White Public Library, Christensen served in numerous capacities at the Ludington Public Library. She is the chair, deputy treasurer, and trustee-at-large for the Upper Peninsula Region of Library Cooperation. Christensen has a bachelor's degree in English and library science and a master's degree in library science, both from Western Michigan University. She will represent public libraries and replaces Carolyn Nash. Crowley is the owner of the Highland Group, a nationally recognized brand and marketing firm that she founded in 2001. Previously, she served as a corporate marketing executive specializing in brand building for high-growth companies in the technology sector, including Compuware where she helped grow its global product business from $300 million to $1 billion in six years. She serves on the boards of the Center for Community Leadership and East Hills Council of Neighbors. She was also honored as a "40 Under 40" leader by the Grand Rapids Business Journal and as an Athena Young Professional Honoree by the Grand Rapids Chamber of Commerce. Crowley has a bachelor's degree in English Literature from the University of Michigan. She will represent the general public and replaces Francis Spaniola. Irwin is the associate dean of libraries for Central Michigan University. She previously served as director of library services for Mott Library at Mott Community College, senior associate librarian and liaison to the School of Education for the Mardigian Library at the University of Michigan-Dearborn, and librarian for Comerica Inc. Irwin currently serves as the board chair of the Library of Michigan and is past president of the Michigan Library Association. Irwin holds a bachelor's degree in education from Concordia College, a master's degree in library science from Wayne State University, and a master's of public administration from the University of Michigan-Dearborn. She will continue to represent the Michigan Library Association. Members serve three-year terms expiring Oct. 1, 2016, and their appointments are not subject to the advice and consent of the state Senate. ##### -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

If your library placed a *new* or *additional* millage proposal (not a renewal) on the ballot within the last five years, could you please answer a few quick questions for me: Did you set up a formal millage campaign committee to raise and expend funds to influence voters or did you work within the limitations of the Campaign Finance Act (i.e. distributed factual information concerning issues relevant to the function of the library without advocating a course of action) and not form a committee? Did the millage pass and would you approach a future campaign the same way? If you formed a committee, approximately how much did they spend (an estimate is fine) on their campaign and how wide of an area did the millage proposal cover (a county, a township, a city, etc.)? Thank you very much for your time! Please reply off list. Jessica Little -- Library Director T.A.

Ignition Grants for Libraries Washington, DC?The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) is accepting applications for Sparks! Ignition Grants for Libraries. The application deadline is February 3, 2014. Sparks! Ignition Grants for Libraries are small grants that encourage libraries and archives to prototype and evaluate innovations that result in new tools, products, services, or organizational practices. They enable grantees to undertake activities that involve risk and require them to share project results?whether they succeed or fail?to provide valuable information to the library field and help improve the ways libraries serve their communities. The funding range is from $10,000 to $25,000, and there are no matching requirements. Projects must begin on October 1, November 1, or December 1, 2014. Click here for program guidelines and more information about the funding opportunity. Supporting IMLS Initiatives We invite libraries to address STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) in their programs and projects to advance STEM learning and knowledge at all ages, but particularly for at-risk youth. Click here to learn more about IMLS?s role in STEM initiatives. Getting Your Questions Answered IMLS staff members are available by phone and email to discuss general issues relating to the Sparks! Ignition Grants for Libraries program. We also invite you to participate in a webinar to learn more about the program, ask questions, and listen to the questions and comments of other participants. The live webinars for the FY14 Sparks! Ignition Grants for Libraries program will be December 11, 2013 and January 7, 2014, both at 3:30 ET. IMLS is using the Blackboard Collaborate system (version 12.5). If you are a first-time user of Blackboard, click here to check your system compatibility and configure your settings. See grant program guidelines for additional webinar details.

URL: From WhiteS29 at michigan.gov Tue Nov 19 12:42:55 2013 From: WhiteS29 at michigan.gov (White, Shannon (MDE)) Date: Tue, 19 Nov 2013 17:42:55 +0000 Subject: [Michlib-l] Calling Rural Libraries - RLC 2014 and Digital Inclusion Message-ID: Don't forget about the Rural and Small Libraries Conference scheduled for April 30-May 2, 2014. It will be 2014 before you know it and registration and program details will be available at that time. The 2014 conference will be held at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island and we will be able to enjoy all the hotel has to offer as well as a full schedule of programs, keynotes and networking with library colleagues. Also, if you are a rural library don't forget to take a look at the Impact Survey available here: http://digitalinclusion.umd.edu As of today 42 of Michigan's rural libraries have completed the survey but we would love to have a more complete picture of rural libraries nationwide. Your data will help create a national picture of rural libraries in the twenty-first century. Please participate in the Digital Inclusion Survey by this Friday, November 22. The survey will generate unique and valuable data in the areas of digital literacy, economic and workforce development, civic engagement, and public access to the internet. You can access the survey by going to http://digitalinclusion.umd.edu Why is your participation important? Participation in the survey will allow your library to: * Get a better sense of your community's needs, challenges, and opportunities through interactive tools http://digitalinclusion.umd.edu/content/interactive-map and how your library's services add value to your community. * Communicate with decision makers about the value of your library's technology-enabled services and public access technologies. * Articulate how your library helps build a digitally inclusive community http://digitalinclusion.umd.edu/content/di-initiatives, supporting 21st century workforce development, digital literacy, education, and a healthy community. * Identify where your library's services and resources are meeting community needs and where there might be room for improvement or a need for new partners to extend the library's reach. Results from the survey and speed test will provide valuable new data for advocacy at the local, state, and national levels. 1. How do you participate? Go to http://digitalinclusion.umd.edu/ and follow the Complete the Survey button. In addition to the survey questions, libraries are requested to complete a network speed test. Instructions are on the first page when you log in to the survey. Speed capture is automatic. 2. Can you see the survey questions before answering them? Yes, you can access a PDF version of the survey sections on the survey project website http://digitalinclusion.umd.edu/content/digital-inclusion-survey . Please note that the print and Web surveys are slightly different (not in terms of the questions, but in terms of layout and presentation). 3. Can you save your answers and finish the survey later? Yes, you can save your answers at any time by clicking the 'stop and resume later' button at the bottom of each survey question page. To get back into the survey later, use your ID to login, find your library and click the button that says 'resume' or 'completed.' You can also print a copy of the completed survey for your records. 4. How long will it take to complete the survey? Test estimates ranged from 20 minutes to 40 minutes. Thank you for taking the time to consider submitting information for the survey this year. We look forward to seeing you on Mackinac Island in 2014! Shannon ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Shannon D.

If the pjs hit on one of the limitations to the First Amendment (obscenity, for example) or violates a law (nudity, for example) then that would back you up. Once you make a policy determining what people can or can't wear, it's a slippery slope of subjective interpretation that could crack open a whole slew of complaints from staff and patrons. Who determines exactly what constitutes pajamas? What about sweatpants? What about workout clothes? Banning leggings worn as pants would be perfectly fine with me, for example, but the difference between yoga pants and leggings can be very subtle. Also, who can wear the pjs and who can't? We give babies a free pass, but what about children? What about a very mature 10 year old girl? What about elderly women wearing a flimsy moo-moo in the summer? Or men wearing extremely tight bike shorts? Underwear and bras hang out everyday, and underwear is worse than pajamas, right? While it is unfortunate that we must endure the sight of all this and more; I don't know if there's a clear cut policy solution to the social annoyance of fashion faux pas.

Check out *The Language of Flowers* by Vanessa Diffenbaugh. Too often we hear about our students who have "aged out" of the foster care system. This author's first novel draws on her experiences as a foster parent and brings to life a beautifully moving story about Victoria who has learned to trust no one. This novel is so good, I had to read it twice in one year. Hear more about this novel at: http://www.npr.org/2011/08/27/139985995/speaking-of-foster-care-in-the-language-of-flowers -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

INALJ is "I Need a Library Job"--though as always networking should start before you're looking for a job. All librarians and information professionals (including students) are invited to join other INALJ fans for drinks, nibbles and great conversation. When: Thursday, November 21, 6-8 pm Where: Goodnite Gracie in Royal Oak, https://www.facebook.com/GoodniteGracieRoyalOak?rf=109934012398731 The details: this is a networking event similar to a no host dinner or open house at a professional conference. You will meet other librarians and information professionals in the area for informal conversations (bring business cards!). There is no charge to attend; you just pay for your own food and drink. Students are more than welcome to join us.

Carroll Preston Baber Research Grant Call for Proposals ? Do you have a project that is just waiting for the right funding?? Are you thinking about ways that libraries can improve services to users? ? The American Library Association (ALA) gives an annual grant for those conducting research that will lead to the improvement of services to users.? The Carroll Preston Baber Research Grant is given to one or more librarians or library educators who will conduct innovative research that could lead to an improvement in services to any specified group of people. ? The grant, up to $3,000, will be given to a proposed project that aims to answer a question of vital importance to the library community that is national in scope. Among the review panel criteria are: ? * The research problem is clearly defined, with a specific question or questions that can be answered by collecting data. The applicant(s) clearly describe a strategy for data collection whose methods are appropriate to the research question(s). A review of the literature, methodologies, etc. is not considered research (e.g., methodology review rather than application of a methodology) for purposes of the award, except where the literature review is the primary method of collecting data. * The research question focuses on benefits to library users and should be applied and have practical value as opposed to theoretical. * The applicant(s) demonstrate ability to undertake and successfully complete the project. The application provides evidence that sufficient time and resources have been allocated to the effort. Appropriate institutional commitment to the project has been secured. ? Any ALA member may apply, and the Jury would welcome projects that involve both a practicing librarian and a researcher. ? Deadline is January 8, 2014 . ? Check out this web site to find procedures and an application form:? http://www.ala.org/ala/aboutala/offices/ors/orsawards/baberresearchgrant/babercarroll.cfm ? See the section on How to Apply .?

It doesn't sound familiar to us and I came up with nothing looking online. An elderly grandmother is dying and wants to see her baby grandson one last time. Her family brings him over and leaves him with her upstairs while they go back downstairs. They hear music come on upstairs, possibly Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, and as the music gets louder and louder they realize it's the grandmother's last moments. There is a maid who thinks that this will be the last day she is in the house. The boy grows up and goes to a concert with his girlfriend where the orchestra plays Beethoven's Fifth Symphony (?) and he starts to shake uncontrollably but doesn't know why. Afterwards the girlfriend comments that the music seemed to really affect him. Supposedly this is based on a true story. Thank you for your help.

The Money Smart Week partners and Novi Public Library are working together to provide public libraries in Michigan with books and materials to encourage both children and parents to learn about financial literacy. Financial literacy is a core 21st Century skill for all age groups. Please consider participating in this wonderful opportunity for your community members. We would also like to thank Julie Farkas at the Novi Public Library for her role in bringing this program to Michigan Libraries.

Robertson State Librarian ----------------------------------------------------------- Money Smart Week(r) (MSW) is rapidly approaching and we have a fabulous opportunity for your library! MSW is a public awareness campaign designed to help consumers better manage their personal finances. This is achieved through the collaboration and coordinated effort of hundreds of organizations across the country including financial institutions and other businesses, schools, libraries, not-for-profits, places of worship, government agencies and the media. Michigan libraries have a unique opportunity to obtain free copies of the Berenstain Bears' Trouble with Money book to give away to children - if your library agrees to host a story time event about money during Money Smart Week, April 5-12. The Michigan Credit Union League is offering to purchase copies of this book for you to hand out at a story time. They've also committed to providing free copies of Jean Chatzky's book, Money Rules for you to give parents bringing their children. National MSW Partners include the American Library Association and Financial Planning Association, among others. These groups work together once a year to stress the importance of financial education, inform consumers about where they can get help and provide free educational seminars and activities throughout the week. Programming is offered to all demographics, ages and income levels, and covers all facets of personal finance from savings basics and establishing a budget, to first-time home buying and retirement planning. The effort was created by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago in 2002. Money Smart Week partners will be hosting public events April 5-12, 2014. Between April 5-12, 2014 libraries and communities across the country will be hosting financial education events for people of all ages, including youth! Be sure to sign up your library to participate here in Michigan. To participate in the Smart Money Program for 2014, the expectations are: 1. Register your library as a Money Smart Week Partner today at www.moneysmartweek.org/partner 2. Plan a story time event about money to be held between April 5-12, 2014. 3. Request to participate in this initiative and the number of books you think you'll need, by completing this Survey Monkey questionnaire at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SM2014 before December 13. 4. By January 1st, login and register your event at www.MoneySmartWeek.org 5. Promote your Money Smart Kids Read program through your normal channels of communication. 6. Consider ways in which volunteers from your local community credit union can participate (help checking families in, passing out the books, helping with crafts, serving refreshments, etc. Whatever would be helpful to you!) 7. Take delivery of your books around March 3, and store them until the time of your event. 8. At your event, announce that your story time is part of the national Money Smart Week initiative, read the Berenstain Bears' Trouble with Money book (and other relevant, age-appropriate books from your collection), perhaps do a craft activity (decorate piggy banks, color pictures that feature money, etc.), and then hand out the free books to families who attend! 9. After your event takes place, enter your attendance numbers into the Money Smart Week website. There must be a catch, right? Here it is: the Michigan Money Smart Week Chairwoman needs to know how many copies of the free books you can use by Friday, December 13! There is a limited budget, so it's first come, first served. The books will be shipped to Novi Public Library, sorted, packaged, and then distributed directly to your library. Your order should arrive at your library around March 3.

We are again hosting this national program for Michigan. The Letters about Literature program is a national program from the Library of Congress. It is reading-writing contest that invites readers in grades 4 through 12 to write letters to authors of books that have changed their lives. This program gives students the opportunity to reflect deeply on a book. As readers, they come to understand how literature is more than assignment, but also a life changing experience. Children and teens can participate on their own or as part of a library or class project. We have sent a letter and a sample entry form to libraries and schools. The 2014 letters will be due in two waves, which is new this year. Level III entries (grades (9-12) have a deadline of December 10, 2013 and Level I and II entries (grades 4-6 and 7-8) have a deadline of January 10, 2014. The state and national winners will be announced in May 2014. You can find more information about the national program at www.read.gov/letters/ and the Michigan program at www.michigan.gov/youthlibraryservices.

I use it on my phone and iPad, as well as my browser on my desktop at work. They have made improvements to make it more like Google Reader. - Erin Schmandt I switched to Feedly.

I used to use Google Reader as well and it was an easy transition when I had to move the feeds over. - Kathryn Ribant-Payne, Programming Specialist at Sterling Heights Public Library I have substituted theoldreader.com . I don't like the name and it lacks the feature that allows you to just e-mail things, but oh well.... - Gail Powers-Schaub, Library Director at Baker College Great question!

I still don't like it as much as reader, but they have fixed some of the more annoying glitches that they had when first started. - Molly Mahony Use feedly!

I find Twitter is increasingly my go-to site for tracking most social media and blogging activity.

We stopped using a theme when most of the kids wanted to do their own thing (it felt like I got out of my own way). Each gets a large baseplate and a bucket to fill with Legos, which we have arranged by color (only rules: they must put their unused Legos back in the coded bins, and they must limit their "lego people" to three or four, as these are the true currency of the Lego collection). When they are finished with their creations, participants have the option of adding a title and signature on an index card, and we put them on display in the children's area for a week or two. Almost all artists want to be recognized for their work. :-) Although we have bought the vast majority of our substantial Lego collection, the return on investment has been excellent. Our Friends group got us going with an initial $400 donation, and we chipped away after that.

It does RSS feeds (from blogs and elsewhere) and "widgets." And I believe it can do most things that Google Reader did, except for feeds coming from Google addresses, of course. Many of those have been discontinued. Debby Debby J.Stassek Assistant Director -- dstassek at vbdl.org Van Buren District Library, 200 N.

This is the day of Noel Night, a fantastic street party that stretches along Woodward in midtown. There are special events and opportunities for shopping until very late. Those festivities start in the evening; this sale starts in the afternoon. Parking is available in the staff lot off Putnam all day Saturday. It's a good sale. Lots of books, plus CDs, DVDs, and audio books. Books are always being added from storage, so there's usually still a lot to choose from.
