Viewing by streaming video will also be available for those who cannot travel to Indianapolis. Our theme for the day is Open Spaces, Open Data, Open Access: Transforming Today?s Libraries. Our morning kick-off session begins at 10 AM with a keynote address from Carlucci Thomas titled ?Open Spaces, Open Data, Open Access: Transforming Today?s Libraries?. Transformation requires trailblazing and tenacity. Transformative culture fosters engagement and strategic development, and changes libraries from the inside out. Creative partnerships promote reciprocal learning, enhance services, and spark opportunities; and entrepreneurial methods offer advantages for libraries evaluating and adapting current practices. From library places and programs, to online collections and communities, today?s libraries are breaking barriers and setting new standards. Next will be a panel discussion featuring three mid-western public libraries which have developed innovative uses of their space. Orvella Fields from The Indianapolis Public Library will talk about their ?Learning Curve?; a high-tech, high energy, hands-on information environment designed for children. Joining Ms. Fields will be Steve Teeri, Conductor at the Detroit Public Library?s ?HYPE? Makerspace. The goal of HYPE is to build teens who are creative, innovative citizens who make, not just consume. Completing the panel will be CJ Lynce, Manager at the Cleveland Public Library?s ?TechCentral?; an innovative technology and learning center which beyond computer in Linux, Mac and Windows PCs offers 3D printing, Mycloud, a Tech Toybox and collaborative work areas where patrons can check-out-a-trainer to assist. Following lunch, we will hear from Ted Fons, Executive Director, Data Services and WorldCat Quality Management at OCLC as he presents on the WorldShare Management Service. Following, David Lewis, Dean of the IUPUI University Library and Indiana University Assistant Vice President of Digital Scholarly Communications will speak on the Inevitability of Open Access. Mr. Lewis has written over 40 articles and book chapters on topics ranging from reference services and library management to scholarly communication. The program will conclude with the MCLS business meeting. The cost to attend is $75 for MCLS members attending in Indianapolis or online via streaming video.

Regular registration for both these events and the 2014 ALA Midwinter Meeting will open on Oct. 1. More information at www.alamidwinter.org/bundle and www.alamidwinter.org.

We have the following in it: American Girls (all the fiction titles in the series) Little House Harry Potter Magyk Goosebumps Boxcar Children Redwall American Chillers/Michigan Chillers Series of Unfortunate Events Animorphs and Remnants Matt Christopher sport novels Baby-sitters club hardy boys heartland nancy drew the saddle club warriors/seekers We also house the Graphic Novels in the series section on two shelves w/graphic stickers on them to make them pop. This has very much helped w/kids who dig graphic novels. It is sort of goofy because we don't have the Rick Riordan series there or Gregor the Overlander or 39 clues, etc. We just went through the shelves and grabbed the ones that made sense to us. ?The kids get it and it didn't take long for the staff and pages to catch on that that is where they are housed. I recommend it and think it has helped. Thanks, Amy Nolan Children's Librarian St. Joseph Public Library ________________________________ From: JEN Jill Reyers To: michlib-l at mail.mcls.org Sent: Friday, September 6, 2013 10:25 AM Subject: [Michlib-l] Series books question I would like to know if anyone has a policy or written rule for what you consider a series and when it is put in a series section.

We pull out any series of books that has four or more books; if there are only three books, they stay in the regular fiction. Spine labels are author's last name and series name, and we place the number of the book on a round green sticker about the spine label. This works because if an author has more than one series - Melody Carlson, I'm looking at you! - then the individual series stay together, in order. If a series has more than one author - Infinity Ring, for example, we just label those with the series name as author so they're all shelved together. Graphic novels are done the same way, except their number labels are orange. Hope this helps! Feel free to contact me if you have any more questions.

Hoping to pick your collective brain on this. Our school district has changed from a K-12 to a K-8, with our 8-12 students attending nearby (15-30 mile away) high schools. We've been asked by our local PTO if we can host a local driver's training class here at the Library, so that it's more easily accessible for our teens. They've contracted with a driver's training company to teach. The first session includes 13 meetings. Our meeting room policy says that we are free to non-profit events open to the public, but that we charge $30 per booking for private, for-profit meetings, which is really what this is. But, it's also a great service for our teens, that no one else in the city has the tech or space to host. We're willing to meet them part way, but would like to hear from some of you on this. Do you host driver's training? What do you charge, if you charge? Thanks!! Cynthia Stanczak Adult & Teen Services Librarian Albion District Library 501 S.

If you look at the resources and would like still more information and training, I'd be happy to work with you or anyone wanting to offer what I call Elder Stories.

If a series is written by a variety of authors (eg. "American Girls" "39 Clues" then I shelve it by title instead of author. Otherwise it's by author.) In deciding whether something belongs with graphic novels (which are shelved in separate sections from fiction in both the youth and teen areas) I consider proportion of narration to captioned dialogue. Thus, the "Big Nate" series finds its way into the graphic novels section for youth, whereas the "Wimpy Kid" and "Captain Underpants" series, despite having plenty of cartoon illustrations, are found in regular fiction because there is a higher proportion of straight text. This system works well for us because of the layout of our shelving (we have small separate sections for graphic novels and larger sections for regular fiction in both our youth and teen areas). Hope this helps. Francine Joy Allen Youth Services Librarian Lincoln Park Public Library 1381 Southfield Rd.

We pull out any series of books that has four or more books; if there are only three books, they stay in the regular fiction. Spine labels are author's last name and series name, and we place the number of the book on a round green sticker about the spine label. This works because if an author has more than one series - Melody Carlson, I'm looking at you! - then the individual series stay together, in order. If a series has more than one author - Infinity Ring, for example, we just label those with the series name as author so they're all shelved together. Graphic novels are done the same way, except their number labels are orange. Hope this helps! Feel free to contact me if you have any more questions.

She gave a lecture on the history of the 1913 copper strike in the Upper Peninsula, and she also recently self-published a novel based on those events. In her presentation , she speaks about the area where the strike took place, the history of copper mining in the region, and the events that led up to the strike in 1913 and the tragedy at Italian Hall in Calumet, Michigan. She mentions her novel briefly, but she focuses primarily on the copper strike itself. In the past, we have had some difficulty in getting an attendance for a local author, but we had a solid turnout for this program because of the Michigan history connection. Several of the audience members had a personal connection either to the strike, the copper mining industry, or to the location. The audience was really engaged, and Donna did a great job with the presentation and with fielding questions from the audience. If your patrons are Michigan history buffs, I definitely recommend this program. You can learn more about Donna's work at copperempire.blogspot.com or you can contact her at dksyooper at yahoo.com.

We currently allow parent or guardian to sign up a child (under age 18) for a library card, and, in doing so, accepting legal responsibility for any fines, fees, and damages accrued on the child's card. But we've had issues with grandmothers signing up children and parents objecting. What about grown siblings? We've also had incidents of non-custodial or just not parent saying that they're parent and signing the child up. In essence, my question is: Who do you allow to sign up a child (under 18) for a Library card (parent, legal guardian, grandparent, auntie/uncle, custodial step-parent, foster parent, non-custodial parent, grown siblings) and what do you ask for in terms of proof? Thank you!!! Cynthia Stanczak Adult & Teen Services Librarian Albion District Library 501 S.

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. The Digital Inclusion Survey is funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services, and conducted by the American Library Association and the Information Policy & Access Center at the University of Maryland College Park, in partnership with the International City/County Management Association. 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 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, 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. Please complete the survey by November 15, 2013. 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 speed test. Instructions are on the first page when you log in to the survey. Speed capture is automatic. 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. Please note that the print and Web surveys are slightly different (not in terms of the questions, but in terms of layout and presentation). 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. How long will it take to complete the survey? Test estimates ranged from 20 minutes to 40 minutes. Thank you, Joseph Hamlin Library Data Coordinator Library of Michigan 702 West Kalamazoo St. P.O.

She gave a lecture on the history of the 1913 copper strike in the Upper Peninsula, and she also recently self-published a novel based on those events. In her presentation , she speaks about the area where the strike took place, the history of copper mining in the region, and the events that led up to the strike in 1913 and the tragedy at Italian Hall in Calumet, Michigan. She mentions her novel briefly, but she focuses primarily on the copper strike itself. In the past, we have had some difficulty in getting an attendance for a local author, but we had a solid turnout for this program because of the Michigan history connection. Several of the audience members had a personal connection either to the strike, the copper mining industry, or to the location. The audience was really engaged, and Donna did a great job with the presentation and with fielding questions from the audience. If your patrons are Michigan history buffs, I definitely recommend this program. You can learn more about Donna?s work at copperempire.blogspot.com or you can contact her at dksyooper at yahoo.com.

I recently attended the People's Institute at Circle Pines Center in Delton, MI. One of the presenters was Alexandra Thebert, Executive Director of Save the Wild U.P. Here is the synopsis of her presentation: "Join Alexandra Thebert, Executive Director of Save the Wild U.P., to learn from successful campaign's in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. This workshop will investigate how to build a strong grassroots movement in a poor area, and how to cut through the opposition's promise of Jobs! Jobs! Jobs! We'll go over the strong tradition of unionization and labor organizing in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, including the Italian Hall Massacre and the introduction of the pneumatic drill aka "the widow-maker," and how the call for employment isn't at odds with an environmental ethic-- in fact, they are allied in the same effort for a better world." Thebert brought up the unsustainability of the boom/bust phenomena associated with creating jobs around pillaging natural resources. The U.P. is a perfect example. A logical modern parallel in Michigan would be the pressure to make way for the fracking boom. So, indeed, the 1913 story remains timely.

Please see below for more information. --message-- The RJ Spangler Trio has a performance grant that allows us to play free concerts for schools, non-profits, libraries, etc. We have openings in September, October, November & December. Please see a recent video of our lecture in August at Baldwin Public Library exploring the jump and swing jazz of the 40s and 50s: https://vimeo.com/72376467 . About the program and performers: RJ Spangler speaks about the history of Detroit's jazz & blues roots and performs musical examples with an all-star band. RJ is a graduate of GPS, class of '75! About Larry: Born & raised in Aliquippa, Penn.,near Pittsburgh in 1947, where he got his start playing jazz, showing the ropes to his friend, jazz guitar great George Benson. Smith moved to New York where he played with some big names such as organist Shirley Scott, drummer Joe Chambers and multi-saxophonist Rahsaan Roland Kirk. For years, Smith bounced around from New York to New Jersey to Detroit (where he sunk roots after his mother moved here) and back. Larry had a special relationship with one the all-time great sax players - Sonny Stitt. Sonny knew & encouraged Larry going back to his teenage years, when passing through Pennsylvania. This lead to Larry touring with Sonny as a regular member of his group. Quite an honer for a man that plays the same instrument as the leader! In Detroit he lead his own bands & also played in Detroit jazz master Roy Brooks Artistic Truth band. Larry has a reputation as an old-school keeper of the bebop flame and a killer when it comes to the blues. As Charles Latimer said in the Metro Time "his specialty is ballads. He shuts his eyes, hunches his shoulders, and holds his saxophone like a prom date. The ballads are so touching they'd make the devil cry." Larry appears as a special guest on James Carter's 1996 Conversin' with the Elders & Live at Baker's Keyboard Lounge disc, released in 2004. He has also toured with the queen of soul, Aretha Franklin. Drummer RJ Spangler has appeared on over 60 recordings and has toured the US, Canada & Europe quite a few times. He lectures on Detroit jazz & blues history and beyond his trio, he leads the Planet D Nonet swing band as well as a blues band. His latest release is "This Is What We Do" w/ the RJ Spangler on the Eastlawn label. Guitarist Oliver Nevels is another veteran player whom has recorded & toured nationally with organist Charles Earland, appearing on two of his CDs, including "I Ain't Jivin' I'm Jammin" for the legendary Muse label. He also toured with organist Richard "Groove" Holmes. Bassist Greg Cook is a Detroit main stay, having proven himself playing with the top of Detroit's jazz scene: Geri Allen, Roy Brooks & Marcus Belgrave & many others. He toured Europe with soul great Bettye LeVette and held down the bass chair in Rat Pack show for countless performances.

How can you contribute? Bring your tried and true as well as your new and inventive practices to share with your Michigan library colleagues. If it's working well for you, chances are good that others could benefit from hearing about it. We will be showcasing up to 50 presentations at the 2014 conference. The RLC Program Committee invites you to consider the following conference tracks as you design your program proposal: * Library Technology or Digital Literacy * Services to Individual Populations (youth, seniors, unemployed, entrepreneurs, etc.) * Library Programming * Engagement, Collaboration & Partnerships * Administration and Management Presenters will be required to provide an electronic copy of session materials by April 1, 2014 that will be on a flash drive to all conference attendees.

You can watch the whole series or any individual segment at, http://brightside.cedam.info/, Bright Side Episode 13. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Olivia Courant, the genius behind The Bright Side videos at the Community Economic Development Association of Michigan, for all her hard work and creative presentation. Olivia logged many miles around the state visiting libraries and interviewing library staff and those with whom they work. Big thanks! and Kudos! to the "stars" of the videos, who you will see as you watch them as well as our host, Trent Smiley, Community Relations Officer, Genessee District Library. While we couldn't capture all the wonderful things Michigan libraries do and are to their communities and patrons, we are confident that this video series provides a good snapshot of who and what we are in this century, so, please feel free to share widely. We will be posting the link to The Bright Side, "21st Century Libraries" on both the Library of Michigan and the Michigan eLibrary's Facebook pages and on the Library of Michigan's Web site, http://michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan.

From the Library Grants blog. >>>>>>>>>>> Deadline: October 1, 2013 As part of its going commitment to rural communities across the country, the Foundation for Rural Service provides annual grants for communities served by NTCA members. The goal of this program is to support local efforts to build and sustain a high quality of life in rural America. Grants will be concentrated in four major areas: * Business Development * Community Development * Education * Telecommunications Grants can range from $250 to $5000 that go back in to rural communities, every year. FRS grants will allow rural communities to take that first step towards a project or plan that can help better the lives of those around them - whether it is smart boards in schools, a Main Street beautification project, better agricultural equipment for farms, start-up money for young entrepreneurs, or basic computer classes. These funds help rural Americans invest in their communities in meaningful ways. The Foundation will give priority to proposals that foster collaboration among different community agencies, and local government, reflect a comprehensive approach to community development, promote community participation and engagement, and make rural communities a better place to live and work.

A barcode represents a number. The unique number is the thing which creates the patron record. There is nothing special about the barcode, or a qr code. It's just a way to display a number. For our institution, you can key in your number at the self check. The thing you must have is the card number and your pin number. Whether you write it on a sticky note, have it scanned in your phone app or have the original card does not matter to us. If you provide a self check and allow people to key in their numbers, it stands to reason that you would extend them the courtesy of having their cards scanned into a convenient app. I have all of my loyalty and barcode cards in the Keyring app. Kelli Perkins Head of Reference Services Herrick District Library 300 S River Ave, Holland MI 49423 616.355.3718 kperkins at herrickdl.org Reading: "Wool" by Hugh Howey Reading: "The Proving Ground" by Bruce Knecht Listening: "Cuckoo's Calling" by Galbraith/Rowling ________________________________________ From: michlib-l-bounces at mail.mcls.org on behalf of Marth Lee Sent: Wednesday, September 18, 2013 1:49 PM To: michlib-l at mail.mcls.org Subject: [Michlib-l] Library cards scanned into phones Collective Wisdom, Do you accept library cards scanned into a phone to check materials out from your library?

Are your users getting the help they need at the right time for their task at hand? Learn how good writing for the web, and thoughtful, timely user assistance (Help!) will make for a better user experience for your patrons. For more information and to register: https://members.mcls.org/workshops/viewcourse.html?id=334 Creating a Social Media Policy (online workshop)-October 14 Can my employees talk about my organization on social media: What if someone makes a negative comment on my organizations Facebook page? Creating a social media policy and/or guidelines can be extremely helpful in answering these questions and many others like them. Learn about Capital Area District Libraries experience as well as what you can and cannot include in a social media policy. For more information and to register: https://members.mcls.org/workshops/viewcourse.html?id=332 Developing a Social Media Content Plan (online workshop)-November 4 Navigating the ever-changing world of social media can be challenging. The rules change all the time, it can be difficult to get buy-in from staff and/or administration, and you have to decide just what exactly you are going to use social media for anyway. Creating a content plan for each social media tool you decide to use will get you organized, help you work through the exercise of why you are using social media, who is contributing content, what your goals are and how to measure them. In this session, we will review a few types of social media, examine some good and not-so-good applications and learn how to create a content plan. For more information and to register: https://members.mcls.org/workshops/viewcourse.html?id=333 The cost to attend each of these workshops is $59 for MCLS members or $119 for non-members. If you have multiple staff interested in attending, we also have a group viewing rate of $249 for MCLS members or $349 for non-members. Time is running out to register for these sessions so don't delay! Thanks! - heather ******************** Heather M.

We don't have a policy per se, but we tend to let them sit for about three months. Our procedure is, after an item has been identified as damaged, we notify the patron that they will be billed for the cost of the item plus a processing fee. The item then stays on our damaged shelf until the patron has paid or for about three months, at which time we evaluate whether we should get rid of the item or not. I'd be curious to hear others' responses.

We don't have a policy per se, but we tend to let them sit for about three months. Our procedure is, after an item has been identified as damaged, we notify the patron that they will be billed for the cost of the item plus a processing fee. The item then stays on our damaged shelf until the patron has paid or for about three months, at which time we evaluate whether we should get rid of the item or not. I'd be curious to hear others' responses.

For example, a patron returns a water-damaged item to the book drop and would like to see proof that the item is damaged. We currently hold these items in a couple of file cabinet drawers. This becomes an issue for space and health reasons. Would be interested in formal and informal guidelines as I am going about making formal policies for our board to review. Thank you for your help!

Something like: ** Dear Patron, We've discovered that an item you returned recently (identify by call number, date of return, etc. or whatever other information that will make clear to the patron what the item is) was damaged when it was returned. Since there was no indication of damage when you borrowed the item, you will be billed for the (cost/value/purchase price/whatever you do). This item will be retained by the Library at (name location) for thirty (or whatever other reasonable time you determine) days should you wish to see the item and the damage to it. After that period, the item will be disposed of due to the damage.? Thank you very much for your attention to this matter.? The local library ** The question of whether this needs to be a policy adopted by the Board or an administrative policy is one for local determination. It probably should be denominated as a policy in writing and might contain an "escape" clause for items that do (or appear to) create a health hazard - e.g. blood or other bodily fluids - which could create a real health hazard for library personnel and/or the public. The notification to the patron should note that the item was disposed of/destroyed due to the apparent health hazard. A digital photo could/should be made and retained in that case. Michael D.

We have a super deluxe one that cleans 50 discs at a time, so we have no backlog at all. The Friends of the Library purchased it for us. The only downside is that, when it needed a repair, we had to take it back to Lincolnwood, IL; RTI does not have technicians available locally. Shipping costs were so high, it was cheaper for me to pay a staff member to drive it there. RTI did absorb the cost to ship it back to us. The need for repairs is extremely rare with these machines, but be advised there's significant cost on the big machines, if you have to ship it back. ________________________________ From: michlib-l-bounces at mail.mcls.org [michlib-l-bounces at mail.mcls.org] on behalf of Marth Lee [mlee at orionlibrary.org] Sent: Tuesday, September 24, 2013 1:28 PM To: Shawn Andary Cc: michlib-L at mail.mcls.org; Megan Parish Subject: Re: [Michlib-l] Recommendations for DVD Resurfacing Machines On 9/24/2013 12:11 PM, Shawn Andary wrote: Hello, One of our member libraries is interested in purchasing a disk resurfacing machine for their DVDs, and they have noticed that the prices range widely from about $150 to $3000.

Cynthia Kleinheksel ________________________________ From: Michael McGuire To: "michlib-l at mail.mcls.org" Sent: Tuesday, September 24, 2013 1:56 PM Subject: [Michlib-l] Damaged items question Wouldn't it be prudent to hold the item for a stated and reasonable period of time which would be conveyed to the patron at the time of notification of the damage and billing? Something like: ** Dear Patron, We've discovered that an item you returned recently (identify by call number, date of return, etc. or whatever other information that will make clear to the patron what the item is) was damaged when it was returned. Since there was no indication of damage when you borrowed the item, you will be billed for the (cost/value/purchase price/whatever you do). This item will be retained by the Library at (name location) for thirty (or whatever other reasonable time you determine) days should you wish to see the item and the damage to it. After that period, the item will be disposed of due to the damage.? Thank you very much for your attention to this matter.? The local library ** The question of whether this needs to be a policy adopted by the Board or an administrative policy is one for local determination. It probably should be denominated as a policy in writing and might contain an "escape" clause for items that do (or appear to) create a health hazard - e.g. blood or other bodily fluids - which could create a real health hazard for library personnel and/or the public. The notification to the patron should note that the item was disposed of/destroyed due to the apparent health hazard. A digital photo could/should be made and retained in that case. Michael D.

One clever response was to include this picture in a letter to the patron. * Put the damaged, especially if liquid damaged, in a plastic bag and hold from 1 to 6 months. * Have a clause in policy to address hygienic, mold or health hazard, that these items will have their picture taken and disposed of immediately. * Send a letter detailing the damage and the item.

[IMLS logo] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 26, 2013 IMLS Press Contact 202-653-4799 Giuliana Bullard, gbullard at imls.gov More than $14.6 Million in Federal Grants Awarded to U.S. Libraries Washington, DC-The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) today announced grants for 42 library projects totaling $14,670,662. The projects were selected from more than 285 applications requesting a total of $37,977,530 and were awarded through three IMLS programs: the Native American Library Services Enhancement program, the Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program, and the National Leadership Grants for Libraries program.Grantees are matching these awards with a total of $10,546,376 in non-federal funds. "Libraries of all types are anchors for their communities. Whether an academic library serving a university, a Native American library serving a reservation, or a local library serving residents, communities rely on these trusted institutions for information they want and need," said IMLS Director Susan Hildreth. "With these federal investments, libraries will be able to address challenges that face the library field, boost their professional workforce with training and education, and better meet the needs of their communities with improved programs and services." The Native American Library Services Enhancement grants are competitive grants to federally recognized tribes to expand services for learning, access to information, and partnership. The Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program grants fund projects designed to address the education and training needs of library professionals. National Leadership Grants for Libraries support projects that improve professional practice beyond the grantee institution. Grantees are planning a variety of projects and initiatives, including the following: * The American Library Association will research the effect of early literacy library programming on parent behavior and engagement. * A tribal library will offer six hands-on genealogy workshops, making it possible for participants to explore their family histories with historic photographs and documents and share family stories and oral traditions with tribal members. * Two university libraries will collaborate with a Chinese library to test the use of Machine Translation technology for digital collections. * A state school library association will create a distance learning Masters Degree program to prepare school librarians to teach student digital literacy skills. * A university library will create a plan that would establish a central access point for digital resources in American Sign Language. * A university library and its partners, building on the free, open-source digital archiving platform called Mukurtu, will provide training and resources to Native American Tribes for planning their digitization and preservation activities. A complete list of the library recipients is available on the IMLS website at www.imls.gov/news/2013_ols_grant_announcement.aspx.

[IMLS logo] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 25, 2013 IMLS Press Contact 202-653-4799 Giuliana Bullard, gbullard at imls.gov Use of Small and Rural Libraries Grows in the Digital Age New data provide first federal look at these important community institutions Washington, DC -- Rural and small public libraries in the United States are community anchors, providing critical services and resources to meet a variety of local needs. The IMLS brief, The State of Small and Rural Libraries in the United States, provides the agency's first targeted analysis of trends for rural and small library services. The report gives an overview of the distribution, service use, fiscal health, and staffing of these important community assets. One of the report's surprising findings is the sheer number of public libraries that can be classified as either small or rural. The report finds that 6,098 libraries (77.1 percent of all public libraries) are small libraries and that overall 46 million people (15.4 percent of the population) are served by small libraries. Further the report finds that city libraries are being outpaced by their rural counterparts in providing access to broadband and e-books. "This report is a must read for policymakers who are concerned about the health and vitality of rural America," said Susan H. Hildreth, Director of the Institute of Museum and Library Services. "Whether the issue is education, economic development, or access to broadband, small and rural libraries are important communications hubs for people in small towns and rural locations." For this analysis, IMLS developed definitions for "small" and "rural," terms that lack widely accepted definitions when applied to public libraries. "Rural" is defined using locale codes developed by the U.S. Census Bureau for the National Center for Education Statistics to indicate any area outside of an urbanized area or urban cluster. "Small library" is defined as a public library with a legal service area population below 25,000 people. The brief's key findings include the following: * Of the 8,956 public libraries in the United States in FY2011, 77.1 percent can be categorized as small. Almost half of all public libraries, 46.8 percent, were rural libraries. Their sheer number and broad distribution across the country speaks volumes about the value local communities place on library services. * In FY2011, there were 167.6 million recorded visits to rural public libraries, a number that has increased by 4.2 percent over the past three years, and there were 301.2 million visits to small public libraries in FY2011, a three-year increase of 4.6 percent. The fact that service use continues to increase at these libraries at a time when other libraries are experiencing declines on a per capita basis is a further testament to their resilience and continued relevance to rural life. * There were 49,048 publicly accessible computer terminals in rural libraries in FY2011, a three-year increase of 20.2 percent. In comparison to urban public libraries, rural libraries have higher per-capita levels of publicly accessible Internet computers and e-books. Given the lag in broadband access in rural communities when compared to suburban and urban areas, this further emphasizes the strong role public libraries play in providing access to the critical digital resources that are directly related to 21st-century skills.

QSAC stands for Quality Services Audit Checklist. These policies include facets of: * Human Resources * Governance/Administration * Services * Collection Development * Technology * Facilities and Equipment * Public Relations * Planning Resources The policies included in the QSAC documentation are from Michigan and around the country. QSAC is a voluntary management standards program that assists public libraries by setting benchmarks for Governance & Administration, Human Resources, Services, Collection Development, Technology, Facilities & Equipment and Public Relations. The Library of Michigan recognizes public libraries as they achieve each level. Libraries can be certified at the Essential, Enhanced and Excellent levels. To achieve certification at a level, a library must meet the requirements for state aid to public libraries, the measures at that level and the measures at all levels below that level. If you have any questions, please contact Shannon White at whites29 at michigan.gov or (517) 373-9489. More information about policies can be found on the MCLS wiki at: http://mcls.org/wiki/index.php/Library_Policies This site includes a wide range of policies on specific topics.

Here is a summary of the implications of the Michigan law posted by the Library of Michigan at the time of its amendment: Public Act 212 of 2000(SB 936) effective October 1, 2000, was signed by Governor Engler on June 26, 2000. This amendment to the Library Privacy Act requires local library boards to adopt and enforce a policy that restricts minors from Internet access to obscene or sexually explicit matter harmful to minors. The new section of the act requires filtering software or some system or method designed to prevent a minor from viewing objectionable material be used. Libraries established by community college districts, colleges or universities are exempt from this new requirement, as are private libraries open to the public. http://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/0,2351,7-160-18668_18689-54462--,00.html Here's the act itself: http://legislature.mi.gov/doc.aspx?mcl-397-606 It might be accurate to say that your library's system for preventing minors from viewing objectionable material is to require their parent to sit next to them, but that system is not required by Michigan law.

Is it a separate SSID that has security on it? It's a code that OpenDNS issues. You type it in on your browser, and then it pops up a window that needs to stay open for as long as the patron wants to browse unfiltered. Codes can have expiration times, like an hour to whatever you want, so that people can't just save the code and have unfiltered internet forever. If you are not familiar with OpenDNS (www.opendns.com), you should check it out. They have a great product. We used to use squid and squidguard and dansguardian to filter with and it was always a hassle. OpenDNS is never down, requires no hardware on-site, and just works. They also has very well-done, all web-based tools for controlling what is filtered and what networks are yours and such, and they have decent statistics reporting, too. They also provide some protection from phishing and other malicious sites. Let me know if you need more info. I am not an employee of theirs, just a happy customer.

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. Please find the 2014 entry form at the link below. http://www.michigan.gov/documents/mde/Guidelines_Individual_2012_361897_7.pdf If you have any questions about the program, please contact me.

A little clarity would be great! My memory is that the library community worked pretty hard to keep some flexibility in PA 212 when it was under consideration, so, no I don't think it's too bad that interpretation is involved in law and policy work :-). My reading of the MCL text I linked to is that the law says "(1) . . . adopt and require enforcement of a policy that restricts access to minors by providing the use of the internet or a computer, computer program, computer network, or computer system in 1 of the following ways:" and goes on to offer 2 options, (a) OR (b). Option (a) has two required parts, (i) and (ii). (b) is much more general and open for local solutions. So, point (ii) under (a) [the bit about parents accompanying their kids] is not necessarily a requirement for every public library in Michigan. Only if you choose to comply with the law using option (a). I was an English major, and I don't have a J.D., so I'm just offering textual analysis, not legal advice :-) Seems like the approaches mentioned so far boil down to either not filtering by default and restricting access by age; or filtering by default and offering escape hatches that are reasonable and age sensitive.

"I'd like to suggest that "based on P.A. 212 which says minors cannot use unfiltered Internet in library without parent/guardian sitting next to child" is not accurate. Here is a summary of the implications of the Michigan law posted by the Library of Michigan at the time of its amendment: Public Act 212 of 2000(SB 936) effective October 1, 2000, was signed by Governor Engler on June 26, 2000.

There are other ways. Filtering software is - invariably - over-inclusive or under-inclusive (and libraries often let or encourage commercial filtering providers filter material that has thing to do with obscenity and harmful sexual content) and even, if properly categorized, often filters out material that is clearly not covered by this badly written and obsolete law.? The law covers ONLY "obscene or sexually explicit matter harmful to minors." I would note that the " parent next to the minor" rule restrict access to ALL internet access to minors unless the parent is present and "sitting next to the minor." The minor can't use the internet AT ALL without the parent. The law does require the parent to accompany the minor. There is no definition of that word. It says nothing about "sitting next to the minor." Why couldn't the parent stand, for example? Why couldn't the parent step away while still viewing the screen? The State of Michigan publishes this in Power Point: PA 212 ? ?Focus is on minors only, not adults Amended section 6 of MCL 397.606 as added by PA 37 requiring the governing body of the library to adopt and require enforcement of a policy that restricts access to minors to the Internet or computer systems in 1 of the following ways: ? ?(a) Both of the following: ?(i) By making available, to? individuals of any age, 1 or more terminals that are restricted from receiving obscene matter or sexually explicit matter that is harmful to minors;? AND ?(ii) By reserving, to individuals 18 years of age or older or minors who are accompanied by their parent or guardian, 1 or more terminals that are NOT restricted from receiving any material. ? OR ? ?(b) By utilizing a system or method that is designed to prevent a minor from viewing obscene matter or sexually explicit matter that is harmful to minors. ?Possibilities: Internet filtering Monitoring ? In Michigan, you must comply with PA 212 whether or not you apply for E-rate funds. ? www.michigan.gov/documents/mde/lm_CIPA_PA212_300204_7.ppt ? And, of course, this whole law and policy concern doesn?t address the situation in which a minor (ages 0-18) is accompanied by a parent who sits next to them and monitors the minors internet usage and the minor can nonetheless see material that violates the statute on an adjacent or nearby computer operated by an adult in violation of the law and/or library policy. ? This happened in Owosso, MI in 2009. WiFi networks barely existed in 2000 when this law went into effect. It applies only to libraries. It doesn't apply to McDonalds, coffee shops, community colleges, or most other institutions where minors can get unfiltered internet access. They are now almost ubiquitous. An under 18 college student would be required to bring his or her parent to the library under the "sitting next to the minor" rule in order to use unfiltered internet. It seems likely that this law - where a wireless network is concerned - only impacts those areas where no other Wifi is available or where the family is too poor to afford it. This may explain why many libraries seem not to have objections registered to having filtered or "sit next to the minor" unfiltered internet use. To most minors and parents, it's irrelevant. Another perspective. Michael D. McGuire Grand Rapids, MI mdmcguire at yahoo.com ??Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.??

I wanted to share a new FREE resource I created about supporting and starting adult literacy programs in public libraries: http://salipl.org. This website includes information on why public libraries are perfect for supporting adult literacy, success stories from libraries that have implemented programs and information about working with adult learners. In the "Program Toolkit" portion of the website, there is an outline of all the steps involved in connecting with Adult Literacy programs in your area, building a literacy collection, finding potential tutors, setting up tutor training, advertising for learners, doing assessments, learner placement, tutoring session logistics and keeping track of learners and tutors. The site has example presentations that you can adapt for potential tutors and other stakeholders as well as templates for just about all the paperwork you could possibly need dealing with assessments, placement and tracking. I was able to make these all readily available thanks to the generous people at Washtenaw Literacy. There is a growing FAQ section and everyone is welcome to send me questions through the site that I will be happy to answer. Also, if your library does programming with adult literacy, please contact me and I will add your library's information to the site! Salipl.org also has a facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/saliplibraries I'm hoping this can develop into a place for further dialogue about what we can do to help the 30 million adults struggling to read in this country.

The Michigan legislature inserted language in the Fiscal Year 2013-14 budget that prohibited MDE from appropriating any funds for the implementation of the Common Core State Standards or the Smarter Balanced Assessments unless it received approval through an "affirmative action" by the legislature. The Michigan House of Representatives took its affirmative action through the adoption of House Concurrent Resolution 11 (HCR 11) last week. The state Senate has not taken any similar action. "While the Common Core remains Michigan's K-12 content standards and schools will continue to design their local curriculum around them, we are continuing to review the areas of our operations that are affected to comply with the state law, now that we can't provide assistance on the implementation of the Common Core or the Smarter Balanced Assessment," said State Superintendent Mike Flanagan, Director of the Michigan Department of Education. "This not only impacts local school buildings, but also how we re-tool our work and all of our external contracts," Flanagan said. "So much of what we have been doing with Common Core over the past three years has been ingrained in our work here at MDE." We are unclear yet as to MDE's ability to flow federal dollars through to local and intermediate school districts. We are clear, though, that MDE will not be able to process federal Title I Consolidated Applications, or keep open the Michigan Online Resource for Educators (M.O.R.E.) online portal for educators and students. One of the major impacts of this lack of action by the Senate is that the state is in violation of its federal flexibility waiver to the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). Michigan will revert back to the federal NCLB requirement that schools have between 89-93 percent of their students proficient in math and reading. Early calculations show only 2.6 percent of school buildings (89) and seven tiny local districts in Michigan meet those thresholds, thus, the rest will be deemed: Not Making Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP). The federal waiver to NCLB required a state to adopt career- and college-ready standards and provide support to its local schools in implementing those standards. As is its Constitutional and statutory authority, Michigan's State Board of Education chose in 2010 to use the career- and college-ready aligned Common Core State Standards. The current federal flexibility waiver goes through 2013-14. MDE has been working on the renewal of that waiver, due to the U.S. Department of Education by the end of the year. All of that work on the renewal has ceased. If the state losing its federal NCLB waiver, the Bottom 5 percent schools will be determined by a previous data method resulting in identifying different schools and causing turmoil with schools never identified on the list and some schools coming off the list, missing legislative deadlines for identifying the Bottom 5 percent of schools and all other legislative deadlines for schools. This would cause the list of schools on the 2013 Bottom 5 percent list to be 6-12 months behind in their improvement requirements, any may impact the 2012 group, as well. Another implication of the prohibition of work by MDE means that local schools will lose the opportunity to participate in Smarter Balanced Assessment field testing if the state has to pull out of the Common Core, and accompanying assessment consortium work. The field testing would have given Michigan students the best chance to experience online testing that will measure the full breadth of career- and college-ready standards in a format that will prepare them for post-secondary success, according to MDE. Michigan will not be able to replicate this type of experience, and risks falling behind by years with regard to implementing the type of online, computer adaptive testing that the legislature has called for previously. This also means that schools will not have important student academic growth data aligned to career- and college-ready standards for the foreseeable future, to fuel all critical reform efforts such as educator evaluations; school rankings and comparisons; and effective targeting of resources for the lowest-performing schools. MDE also has requested the Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget to take down the MDE website because the Common Core State Standards are integrally related throughout. "If we cannot expend funds on any information, or support and assistance to local schools, then we have to scrub our entire website and restore pages are they are deemed fit," Flanagan said. This is the immediate impact on the work we do here at MDE. We will continue to assess any further impact as situations may change.
