From the CDC - Studies show that about one in three (33%) people carry staph in their nose, usually without any illness. Two in 100 people carry MRSA. There are not data showing the total number of people who get MRSA skin infections in the community. Normal sanitation for colds and influenza will deal with staph. There are dry anti bacterial sprays. Saniguard Antibacterial Dry Spray is one. ? cup bleach to a gallon of water works for a sanitizing solution. Clean up for far worse bacteria utilizes one part bleach to ten parts water. I would suggest that this is a question that should be directed to your county health department. MRSA is a reportable disease. They should already know who in the community has it and if they are a threat to others. Here is a guide published by http://www.kalcounty.com/countysearch.asp?kw=mrsa&ds=y&submit=Go http://www.kalcounty.com/php/mrsa.htm http://www.cdc.gov/mrsa/ provides lots of information. Second, don?t panic. Stress causes more issues than most communicable diseases. Good luck with your colleagues. Don Bosman Information Technologist MSU Libraries 366 W.

The all-time record was set, as you would expect, on the debut go-live date of the statewide online MAP program, which was May 24, 2013. Many of your library patrons will enjoy visiting neat attractions during the upcoming long holiday weekend, venues such as the Grand Traverse Lighthouse http://www.grandtraverselighthouse.com/ Michigan Science Center http://www.mi-sci.org/ Yankee Air Museum http://www.yankeeairmuseum.org/ and the University of Michigan Museum of Natural History http://www.lsa.umich.edu/ummnh/ all courtesy of the MAP program. Why is MAP usage UP nearly 10% ytd vs. last year? Because of you! How do we know this? My TLN colleague Brigette incorporated a SurveyMonkey survey into the MAP website for this year. In the survey the first question Brigette asks library patrons is: How did you hear about the Michigan Activity Pass program? Brigette shared with me this morning the results of the surveys that have been completed so far, and the answers from patrons to that question were overwhelmingly that they learned about MAP either via: 1. The library building--meaning interaction with staff, or via the posters, brochures and bookmarks we created/you printed and are displaying in your building or 2. The library website This means YOU! So, pat yourselves on the back, or take a bow, or something, and know we and more importantly your patrons, appreciate your support and promotion of the Michigan Activity Pass (MAP) program.

From: ALA Washington Office [mailto:districtdispatch at alawash.org] Sent: Monday, July 07, 2014 11:29 AM To: Trish Burns Subject: Keep the momentum going: Urge your representative to support library workforce investment today [https://secureimages.capwiz.com/ala/actionalerts_mlm.png] Please contact your United States Representative TODAY at 202-224-3121 and urge her/him to support the passage of H.R. 803, the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). The Senate recently passed this bill with a bipartisan vote of 95-3. Your help is crucial to ensure that the House does the same thing. H.R. 803 would reauthorize the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) and has the following provisions supporting public libraries: Title I - Workforce Development Activities * Allows public libraries to be considered additional One-Stop partners. Meaning that Libraries will now have access to federal funding for job training and job search programs. * Functions of the State and Local Workforce Development Board. State and Local Workforce Boards must include plans to improve digital literacy skills at One-Stop delivery systems. * Prohibits federal supervision or control over selection of library resources. * Allowable Statewide Employment and Training Activities. Authorizes adult education and literacy activities provided by public libraries as an allowable statewide employment and training activity. Title II - Adult Education and Literacy * Definition of Workforce Preparation Activities. Includes a definition of "workforce preparation activities" that specifically includes digital literacy skills. H.R. 803 could be a huge victory for libraries and your call could get this legislation to the President's desk. Your participation can make all the difference. Please call today!

It's called MeL Michigana and it's in the black navigation bar at the top of MeL.org and can be reached directly at http://mel.org/michigana. MeL Michigana is a carefully selected set of resources that are all-Michigan, all-local, all-the-time. In the center of the page are, among other things, local history collections that are the result of an LSTA-funded digitization project. They span the U.P. digitization project, Detroit, Michigan Civil War soldiers, the War of 1812, and the Kalamazoo College Cache among many others. There's also a search box on MeL Michigana. If you're curious about what it searches, please go to at http://mel.org/help, click on "Michigana" and check out the list. There are hundreds of vetted and described web resources in a wide variety of categories including Arts & Architecture, Associations and Organizations, Business, History, Industry, Maps & Atlases, Military, Museum, Nautical and more.

They have decided to donate their current used shelving and furniture to other libraries. They have asked me to help coordinate it. Some of you are thinking why does he seem familiar. Well, I am. For the last 23 years I have specialized in library moving for my family's business, Mulder's Moving. Due to some changes in family dynamics, I am currently working on my own. The used shelving consists of several styles of Borrough's WilsonStak. There is adult as well as children's shelving. I can sell new Borrough's if you need to add anything to what is available or need additional parts. There is also some tall, double-faced wood shelving. The items are in excellent shape. The location is only around 4,000 sq.ft. so there is not a tremendous amount. If you have an interest, email me with some idea of what you are looking for. If you need assistance with the teardown, transport or reassembly of the items - we are available. I also have helped many libraries with reconfiguring their space so if you need some help in planning for some newer or additional shelving, I can help you there too. Unfortunately - only the shelving and the furniture is free.

How do you handle requests mailed to your reference department from prisoners incarcerated in Michigan prisons whether the prison is within your service area or not? When a prisoner asks for books we write a letter to the prisoner and suggest they use their prison's interlibrary loan system. We have been answering reference questions such as what is the address of a particular publisher, will you please send me a copy of a picture of a circus, etc., via return letter. Someone working at a Michigan prison is now questioning us as to whether the public library should answer reference questions from prisoners. Does your library have a policy about this? What do you do when you receive reference requests from prisoners? I suspect prison librarians are overworked and cannot answer all the questions they must get.

I don't think the source of the question is salient unless there is some law we're not aware of that speaks to what information a prisoner is privileged to obtain. All questions from outside our cardholders are treated with respect, but limited to what is reasonable based on the limits of time and resources, understanding precedence is given to our taxpayers. We have less and less of the prison letters as time wears on, but they're always interesting!

Please visit http://digitalinclusion.pnmi.com/speedtest/ and run the speed test. The link will ask you to login using your id (FSCS#) if you are unsure of your id the login box has a lookup feature. Many of you participated in the 2013 Digital Inclusion survey which included a basic speed test tool, this is just a refined version of that tool. If you have participated in the past you will receive a postcard reminder to take the new speed test early next week. If you have not participated before, the test is open to any interested public library. The FCC will use the results the test to inform changes in the E-Rate program and better understand library and school broadband needs. Speed test data from your library(ies) will help determine upload/download speeds that users experience at different times during the day - providing a critical measure of service quality in public libraries and helping to inform the FCC about library broadband needs. You can help by taking the speed test by August 1, 2014. To begin, go to http://digitalinclusion.pnmi.com/speedtest/. Thank you! The study is funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), and conducted by the American Library Association(ALA) and the Information Policy & Access Center (iPAC) at the University of Maryland College Park. The project also is supported by the Chief Officers of State Library Agencies (COSLA), the Public Library Association (PLA), the Urban Libraries Council (ULC), and the Association of Rural and Small Libraries (ARSL).

The MLA Board has spent a great deal of time since the surprise of the original MI-ALA announcement reviewing the statement of concerns and addressing how best to respond. We recognize that the MI-ALA statement of concerns highlights opportunities to improve the association and make it stronger for all of our members not just those from academic libraries. Although we don't agree with all of the statements or anticipated actions, we appreciate that everyone from MLA and MI-ALA is trying to do their best to support libraries. As we move forward, we will need your input and we will need to have an ongoing dialog with the MI-ALA leadership. At our next MLA Board meeting, scheduled for September 12, we anticipate a proposal to create a task force to examine ways to strengthen member engagement opportunities. In the meantime, the MLA Board has prepared a list of FAQs to make sure that everyone has some fundamental information http://www.milibraries.org/assets/1/6/MI-ALA_FAQs.pdf. If you have additional questions or thoughts, please don't hesitate to contact us. Contact information is at http://www.milibraries.org/contact/.

E-rate funding is important to many types of libraries in Michigan and this amendment could be harmful. From: Emily Sheketoff [mailto:esheketoff at alawash.org] Sent: Monday, July 14, 2014 6:01 PM To: alacro-l at ala.org Subject: [alacro-l] Libraries Need Your Help Please call your U.S. Representative today and encourage him or her not to support any amendment that would thwart the FCC's ability to increase funds to the Federal E-rate program. Rumors are circulating around Capitol Hill this week of a possible amendment to the House Financial Services Appropriations bill that would limit the Federal Communication Commission's (FCC) ability to increase funds to the Federal E-rate program. We expect this amendment to be voted on the House floor sometime within the next 48 to 72 hours. If such an amendment were to pass and become law, it would be very damaging to the E-rate program. The E-rate program is part of the Universal Service Fund, which is overseen by the FCC. Through this program, libraries and schools receive discounts on telecommunications services including high capacity broadband. Many libraries count on these funds to provide internet services to their users. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I just wanted to recommend Teresa Irish's program "A Thousand Letters Home."? We had her at our library last Thursday evening and couldn't have been happier.? We are a smaller library, but we had about 50 patrons attend the program, which was great.? We actually co-sponsored this program with our local history center due to our budget, but it was a great project to collaborate on. Teresa was very professional.? She brought just about everything with her, so set up and tear down was very easy.? She took time after the program to talk to attendees and sign her book.? The patrons really enjoyed her program.? Through letters and stories, she tells the story of her dad's life through WWII.? What makes this program so successful, though, is the fact that many people can relate to his story.? This is a great program for anyone who has served or who knows someone who has served our country.? It's also great for anyone who enjoys learning about our nation's history.? We had a multi-generational audience, which was awesome to see! ? For more information or to contact Teresa, go to: ATLH Home ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ATLH Home Check out http://athousandlettershome.com!

Karren Reish Library Grants Coordinator Library of Michigan 517-241-0021 reishk at michigan.gov From: IMLS News [mailto:imlsnews at imls.gov] Subject: IMLS Announces New Awards to Strengthen Early Learning Activities at Libraries and Museums To view this message in a browser, please click here. [IMLS logo] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 11, 2014 IMLS Press Contact 202-653-4799 Giuliana Bullard, gbullard at imls.gov IMLS Announces New Awards to Strengthen Early Learning Activities at Libraries and Museums Washington, DC?Today, IMLS announced three new awards to engage libraries and museums as key partners in comprehensive early learning strategies. Three separate awards totaling $771,854 will be awarded to the Georgia Public Library Service, OCLC, and the BUILD Initiative. These new investments follow up on recommendations made in Growing Young Minds: How Museums and Libraries Create Lifelong Learners, a policy report that called upon policymakers, schools, funders, and parents to make full use of these vital, existing community resources. IMLS Director Susan H. Hildreth said, ?Too many children are starting school without the academic and social skills they need for success. Libraries and museums are effective, but often overlooked, resources in our nation?s effort to turn around a crisis in early learning, exposing children to reading and powerful learning experiences in the critical early years and keeping them learning through the summer months. With these awards, IMLS is taking action to create new opportunities for children, especially those in the lowest socioeconomic status who are the least likely to be able to participate in library and museum programming.? While IMLS continues to make investments at the project level including more than $6 million awarded in individual projects in libraries and museums in FY 2012 and 2013, the investments announced today are intended to make an impact at the systems level. Today?s investments will create stronger relationships among libraries, museums and state level early education providers and develop tools to speed the adoption of evidence-based practice throughout the library and museum communities. The BUILD Initiative - Boston, MA Award: $314,884 A cooperative agreement between IMLS and the BUILD Initiative will create deliberate and mutually beneficial connections between the efforts of museums and libraries and those of early childhood systems? builders to support the growth and development of children from birth to age eight, with an emphasis on children from birth to age five. The partnership will build relationships across the fields/sectors and embed connections in ways that can be replicated and sustained. All objectives will be achieved through engagement with library, museum and early learning leaders in five pilot states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Washington. Note: BUILD will present a webinar on the project on August 4th at 2:00 p.m. EST. Check the BUILD website in the coming weeks for more details: http://www.buildinitiative.org/OurWork/LearningCommunity/UpcomingEvents.aspx Georgia Public Library Service - Atlanta, GA Award: $249,895; Match: $103,449 This project is designed to provide a customized early literacy program within libraries to reach parents of young children. Youth librarians in Georgia?s public libraries will provide a learning environment using one of two programs, Prime Time or Every Child Ready to Read (ECRR), to educate parents and caregivers in the importance of early literacy. Monitoring and evaluation of the program will determine the benefits of providing the customized B4 early literacy program for parents of very young children. The evaluation will demonstrate whether Prime Time or ECRR works better in Georgia and which should be continued statewide after the pilot ends. The evaluation will examine the core curriculum for staff and the database-driven website to determine if these aspects enhanced the success of the Prime Time or ECRR library programs in creating a successful customized Birth to Four Early Literacy Program. OCLC Online Computer Library Center, Inc. - Dublin, OH Award: $207,075; Match: $69,129 The grant will support an 18-month project in five states and in partnership with Washington State Library and Thrive by Five Washington, two leaders in that state?s early learning efforts. The aim of the new program will be to introduce a new service model to public libraries for library staff to deliver interactive programs for young children that will impact early childhood literacy. Thousands of U.S. public libraries offer programs, such as story time, for young children and are already attuned to early literacy best practices. The methodology and tools used in this model were researched, designed and tested by the University of Washington, and piloted in 20 libraries in collaboration with Washington State Library from 2009 to 2014. The results showed that intentional focus on early literacy skills improved results for young children. The new service model, based on the rigorously researched and field-tested approach, can now be applied broadly to augment the efficacy of current library programs. About the Institute of Museum and Library Services The Institute of Museum and Library Services is the primary source of federal support for the nation's 123,000 libraries and 35,000 museums. Our mission is to inspire libraries and museums to advance innovation, lifelong learning, and cultural and civic engagement.

I do know that several years ago in December I was at the Botanical Gardens in Cleveland and each of the area Garden Clubs had decorated a Christmas tree based on a children's book. You might call them and see if they dealt with any copyright issues. Also, one can always ask the publisher/author/illustrator for permission to do this. They have sole right to copy, but they can give permission. They might consider it free advertising. Will you be selling books at the quilt show? Of course, if you only used books in the public domain, you'd be fine. I once worked with a woman who had taken a coloring book of Peter Rabbit and had traced the pictures onto material and was embroidering each of the pictures on our breaks/lunch, preparatory to turning it into a quilt. I believe Peter Rabbit would be legal. And if you really do this, please let me know. I'll come.

Bring the World of Information and Imagination to All - in a beautiful Pacific-Northwest setting. The Board of Trustees of the Pierce County Library System seeks both a visionary leader and an experienced, capable manager-creative and innovative in building and maintaining successful teams-to lead the organization in providing quality services and programs for this diverse and culturally rich library system. The award winning (2013 IMLS National Medal) Pierce County Library System serves all of unincorporated Pierce County and 15 annexed cities and towns-a total of 555,285 suburban and rural residents. Established as an independent municipal corporation, the Library is an independent taxing district with authority to levy a property tax as well as issue bonds and special levies with a vote of the public. With a $25.6 million annual budget and approximately 406 staff (236 FTEs) with union representation, Pierce County Library System welcomed 2.4 million visitors and loaned 7.6 million items in 2013. Governed by an appointed board of trustees and supported by a successful Foundation and active Friends organizations, the System's 18 libraries and virtual services bring people together and provide opportunities for learning, enrichment and fun-and even greater levels of service excellence in the years ahead. It's hard to imagine a better place to live than Pierce County-surrounded by saltwater shores and towering mountain peaks. Pierce County is notable for being home to stunning Mount Rainier and six major rivers. The County ranges from bustling cities with rich culture and arts communities and active nightlife to quiet timber towns. Small-town farmers and big-city professionals, active retired couples and families and talented trades people-all share a northwest pioneer spirit. Pierce County Library System shares the County with the Tacoma Public Library, Puyallup Library, and Roy Library. The County also has sixteen school districts (fifteen served by PCLS) and the area is home to several two and four year colleges including the University of Washington Tacoma, University of Puget Sound, Pacific Lutheran University, Tacoma Community College, and Pierce College. The Port of Tacoma is the sixth busiest container port in North America and Joint Base Lewis-McChord contributes more than 42,000 military and civilian jobs to the local economy. Pierce County's neighbors include Olympia (Washington's capital city), Seattle and King County-all with additional opportunities for exploring diverse cultural and recreational amenities. For more information on the Library, Pierce County and the region, see Pierce County Links. Responsibilities. The Executive Director is responsible for planning, developing, directing, and leading all operations and activities of the Library System; implementing and administering policy in pursuit of the Library's mission, vision and values; and providing administrative support to the Board of Trustees. Additional responsibilities include: representing the Library System to local governments, civic and community organizations, professional associations and the general public; assuring a program of service that meets the needs of Pierce County customers and community members; accomplishing short-term and long-range planning; and implementing and managing the budget and other resources using sound business practices to assure the effective and efficient use of tax-supported resources. Qualifications. A Master's Degree in Library Science (MLS/MLIS), the ability to obtain and hold a State of Washington Librarian Certification, and a minimum of 10 years of library administrative management and direct supervisory experience in a multi-location library system are required. Any combination of education and experience which would provide the required knowledge and skills to allow successful performance of the job and qualify for certification may be considered. Essential executive competencies include: excellent communication skills and the ability to build trust and effective partnerships; a commitment to developing others, facilitating change, building successful teams and leading through vision and values; customer focus, business acumen and strategic decision making ability; and possessing the inclinations and dispositions that characterize successful leadership. See the official Executive Director Job Description for a complete list of the essential functions. Proven success working effectively as director reporting to a governing board and success working in a union environment are valuable desired experiences. Compensation. The position offers a starting salary range of $135,000-155,000 (with placement dependent on experience and qualifications) and an attractive benefits package.

[IMLS logo] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 17, 2014 IMLS Press Contact 202-653-4799 Giuliana Bullard, gbullard at imls.gov Call for Nominations: 2015 National Medal for Museum and Library Service [photo of the national medal]Washington, DC?For more than 20 years, the Institute of Museum and Library Services has recognized museums and libraries that make extraordinary contributions to their communities. The National Medal for Museum and Library Service is the nation?s highest honor for exemplary service by these institutions. IMLS is now accepting nominations for the 2015 National Medal for Museum and Library Service. Nomination forms are due October 15, 2014. All types of nonprofit libraries and library organizations, including academic, research, archives, school, special, library associations, and library consortia, are eligible to receive this honor. Public or private nonprofit museums of any discipline (including art, history, science and technology, children?s, and natural history), as well as historic houses, nature centers, zoos, and botanical gardens, are eligible. Winners are honored at a ceremony in Washington, D.C., host a two-day visit from StoryCorps to record community member stories, and receive positive press attention through a media campaign. Approximately thirty finalists are selected as part of the process and are featured by IMLS as part of a six-week social media and press campaign. Winning the medal elevates an institution?s profile and can positively impact fundraising, programming, and outreach activities, as noted by these past recipients: Since receiving the National Medal in 2009, Braille Institute?s Library Services has been able to raise its profile in the community via our website, Summer Reading, and annual Open House programs. The National Medal allowed us to invite notable guests--including well known actresses, authors, and narrators--to participate in our annual Library Open House programs. ?Dr. Henry C. Chang, Braille Institute Library Services, Los Angeles, CA The recognition we received along with the National Medal gave us that credibility as a nationally recognized museum, and catapulted us into a category alongside so many other respected cultural venues. The recognition for us on a national level trickled down to the regional and local levels, and the community has really caught notice. ?Carolyn Eller, Erie Art Museum, Erie, PA, a 2011 winner The Flint Public Library was deeply honored to receive the National Medal for Museum and Library Service in 2004. Our achievement opened the door to have conversations with community members and also with major funders regarding the significance of the award and, more importantly, the importance of the community-based programming that led to the award in the first place. ?Kay Schwartz, Flint Public Library, Flint, MI Anyone may nominate a museum or library for this honor, and institutions may self-nominate.

Section 2(i) of the DLEA, MCL 397.172(i), currently states that cities, villages, townships, counties and school districts may be participating municipalities for the purpose of establishing a new district library. Section 2(i), however, also states that after January 1, 2015, a school district may NOT be a participating municipality - this specific provision will "sunset." Practically speaking, this means that new agreements for establishing a district library that include a school district as a participating municipality must be have all authorizations in place -i.e., must be signed and approved by ALL the necessary parties - by December 31, 2014. The Library of Michigan will continue to review these agreements within a reasonable time of receipt by the State Librarian's Office, although please be aware that Section 5(1) of the DLEA, MCL 397.175(1), states the "legislative bodies of the municipalities that establish a district library shall submit the agreement to the state librarian within 10 days following the date on which the agreement is adopted." HB 5597, which proposes to remove the sunset provision, is currently pending in the Michigan Legislature . If HB 5597 is enacted, school districts will continue to be able to be participating municipalities for purposes of establishing a district library. The progress of HB 5597 may be followed on the Michigan Legislature website at http://legislature.mi.gov/doc.aspx?2014-HB-5597. HB 5597 does NOT however - as of July 23, 2014 - change the DLEA prohibition against adding a school district as a participating municipality under Section 25(1), MCL 397.195.

I have a patron looking for a book that he says is titled "Blood and Iron". I can turn up many different books with that title, but none appear to be what he described. He is looking for a book that is about the Spanish-American War. He says that it begins with the battle for Manilla Bay and ends with the Boxer Rebellion. He says that he saw it advertised in a magazine a few years ago and that it cost $50.00 I have searched on many different combinations of terms. If I find Blood and Iron, it's not about the Spanish American war. If I search Spanish American war, no title comes close to Blood and Iron, nor to Manilla Bay, etc., etc. If anyone recognizes this book, I would be grateful for the information. Thanks!

Also, you have more than doubled the number of "likes" on the MAP Facebook page during the past two weeks. Both of the above correlate directly to the hard work you have put into the promotion of the MAP program this year. Family vacation season has five full weeks remaining, so let's keep the momentum going during, as well as beyond, the summer and into fall.

Werner Movie ratings from the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) generate some concerns among my friends working in Michigan's public libraries. I occasionally get questions from the field about the legality and public expectation of libraries to prohibit minors from circulating movies with PG, PG-13, R and NC-17 ratings. MPAA Ratings The MPAA is a private organization whose activities are not governed by any state or federal law. Movie ratings are offered as a service to MPAA members through the MPAA administered Classification and Ratings Administration (CRA). It is CRA that assigns a particular rating to a movie as a guide to viewers of age appropriateness. Filmmakers that wish their film to be rated submit their film voluntarily to CRA for review and movie rating assignment. A Question of Authority The entire topic of whether libraries are obligated to comport their circulation practices for minors in accordance with MPAA ratings rests on the question of legal authority. I have repeated one fundamental legal premise time and again regarding library authority. This premise is as governmental entities, library boards, employees and agents have no inherent powers. They possess only those limited powers given them by the state constitution or by state statute or powers that are necessarily implied from there. Hanselman v Kileen, 419 Mich 168, 351 NW2d 544 (1984). Translation: library boards, directors, staff and volunteers can only do something if there is a law that says they can do that thing. Determining the legal authority to act is important for two primary reasons in relation to this question. The first reason is as follows...the question of ratings often boils down to whether something is considered obscene or harmful to minors (both categories of speech are not constitutionally protected). What is notable is that the authority to make the determination of whether or not something is obscene or harmful to minors rests solely with a court. Neither library boards, employees or agents, nor the MPAA, can make the decision because there is no legal authority to do so. The MPAA rating is, and has been intended only as, a guide and never as a legal mandate. The second reason that authority is fundamental to this question is that although Michigan's public libraries must adhere to section 6 of the Michigan Library Privacy Act, 1984 PA 455, MCL 397.606, which requires libraries to take steps to prevent minors from accessing obscene or sexually explicit harmful material that is harmful to minors on the Internet, it does not authorize libraries to restrict minors access to other library materials. In fact, because there is no legal authority that enables libraries to restrict minor's access to library materials that fall outside of the purview of section 6, restricting materials could conceivably be considered an infringement of minor's constitutional rights. Conclusion Let me be clear, I am not advocating furnishing minors with materials that are rated PG-13, R or NC -17. I think that circulation of these materials should be administered in accordance with parental expectations, by the parent, not by the library. Although there may be some public expectation that Michigan's public libraries should act in loco parentis with respect to restricting minor's access to movies that have been rated PG -13, R, and NC - 17, there is no legal authority to do so. I hope this helps! Kind regards, Lance M.

The "Sault" and its neighboring communities are a long- time favorite of tourists, as well as home to the highly respected Lake Superior State University, a dynamic and fast- growing regional medical center, several modern industrial parks, and three airports.Anindustrious local work ethic and a minimal bureaucracy with strong community collaboration help to make the area both welcoming and growing.

URL: From markmorton at lelandtownshiplibrary.org Tue Jul 29 10:41:38 2014 From: markmorton at lelandtownshiplibrary.org (Mark Morton) Date: Tue, 29 Jul 2014 10:41:38 -0400 Subject: [Michlib-l] Wireless Printing Summary Message-ID: <000101cfab3b$34ed70b0$9ec85210$@lelandtownshiplibrary.org> I received about 16 replies to my inquiry about who allows patron devices to connect to their printers and had several requests for a summary so here it is. Only a few libraries allow patron devices to connect to their printers and most that do use management software where the patrons upload the document to the software and then that connects to the printer rather than having to download the driver from the printer onto the patron device. One suggestion was to have a separate printer for patron devices to connect to but we don't have the demand yet here at Leland to justify the expense. For now we will continue to have patrons either send the documents to their web based email and then access it from our public computers or use a thumb drive to transfer documents from their laptop (no USB ports on iPads) to our computers. We will be getting a replacement printer that has wireless capability but probably won't allow direct connections from patron devices at least to begin with. I have copied and pasted the text from the emails I received below. Thanks so much for all the replies it was very informative. Mark Mark...do you use a time/print management product such as SAM or Envisionware? If you do, both products have add on products for wireless printing from wireless devices. We have a public printer with wireless capability but my tech guy still won't let people use it with their own devices. I'm not sure I can say why for sure, but something to do with security, plus they would have to download the printer driver to their device for it to work. I think. I may be way off on why, but he doesn't allow it. We have not set up for wireless printing because of concerns that people using our wireless from outside the building will then go away without collecting their printing or paying. If people want to print documents, we suggest that they email the documents to themselves and access their web email on our public PC's for printing. We have just purchased a Ricoh that has that capability. We were due for a new copier anyway and we made sure we got one with wireless because of the amount of requests we were getting. It hasn't been delivered yet so I can't tell you about the technical difficulties. But I did use it at the show room and it was pretty easy to do. We don't have a wireless printer (in fact, ours is an HP 4050 that we got through a Gates grant in 2000!), but laptop users can print to it because it's connected to the public network. I know just about enough about this to be dangerous, but if a laptop user chooses to add a printer in devices and printers, then chooses a network printer, their laptop will "find" the HP 4050 and they can connect. I hope this helps - I've gone through months and a lot of hoops with public printing issues in general. For public computer access we use Envisionware which helps us manage wired printing. That's the best solution there so far. This lets us also do wireless printing from Windows OS and Mac OS machines. It's so much tricker with mobile OS's. I just bought a Brother HL-6180DW. It's a printer that has AirPrint compatbility and it seems to work well with IOS devices. The downside is the print management features seem to be pretty slim. I think it might let me individually enter in access codes each time I want to let a device print, but I haven't done enough testing yet. So really, any AirPrint compatible printer with the addition of print management features should work for you, but it only helps with iOS devices. Mark--we will be deploying remote printing from patron device later this year. We use the Pharos system to log patrons on to our public computers. It logs them out after one hour. It validates with our circulation system that the patron (if using their library card to log in) has no outstanding fines, or it won't log them on. It provides printing capability with a coin box for pre-payment. We do not allow patrons to directly access our printers. We bought a Pharos software module that provides wifi printing, but the patron is sending an email into the Pharos system, with a document attached. The patron can be in the building or anywhere on the globe. The print job will be in the system 24 hours. Then the patron can come in, and bring up the print job on the print station, pay, and send it to the printer. We don't allow them to print yet. If I could get it to work with our mconsole print management software (we release the jobs as the patrons confirm the number of pages), I would. I'm very leery about connecting it to our color laser printer - as the cartridges are SO expensive! Will you post summary of answer or send to me if possible - I'm very interested in what the others are doing. Our public printers are wireless, but linked only to the public computers. We charge 10 cents per page. We block laptops, etc. I did get some IPADs and they have a feature that allows them to print to just about any wireless. Some tablets, such as a Samsung are limited to printing to a specific type of printer. We ended up blocking our printers from IPADs. Basically IPADs are too easy to print to wireless in general. This is a large company who operates 'in the cloud' but is really famous worldwide for good, simple service. If you look at their location map it is mostly Richoh (sp?) world wide company and hotels (with various different printers). They broker the job so you don't have so much time walking folks through app installs, etc. And you can offer printing from home if you want. A few libraries around here use that. I think the direct approach for a small library is not very risky, I'd roll it out to staff first, and then a 'soft' opening to those in the public who ask for it. then you'll all know how to use and support this before making the grand announcement. This is a great service to offer! Of course if you really want to spend a pile, Envisionware LDS can take print jobs, can scan to a mobile device, can perform OCR, fax, and you can add a vend unit if wanted. But you'd have to have the $$$ (we are worried about that here!). We offer wireless printing for three years now, though we use PaperCut print management software rather than allowing patrons to connect devices to the printer or adding a printer to the wireless network. PaperCut allows us to monitor what is being printed, so we don't end up with reams of unwanted print jobs. Basically, patrons upload documents for printing and then library staff release them from the queue. The drawback is that only Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or PDF documents can be uploaded for printing. We've had little trouble with it. The company we purchased our copy machine from installed the software. Patrons do use it, not everyday or every week but at least once a month. We have 2 printers, one attached to our public computers and we use a "HP Office Jet Pro 8100" for just wireless units. http://www.brother-usa.com/Printer/ModelDetail/1/HL5470DW/Overview You could add something like this to your wireless IP space as an inexpensive way to provide wireless printing. We used to have a laser printer on our wireless via a windows share on a machine in the wireless IP space. That worked, but was cumbersome to set up for patrons. The techie at our co-op recommended the Brother printer. It plays nice with different flavors of computers, and does Android / iOS support via AirPrint, GoogleCloudPrint, and an app called Brother iPrint&Scan. Also does PCL6 emulation, so patrons can use a generic PCL driver if the Brother driver is not on their computers. We have ours as a wireless only printer, and it's an honor system to pay. Right now all of our printers are wireless. However, we do not offer printing from wireless devices. We do not have our patrons sign in to use the wireless internet, so we would not know how to manage all of the printing that would take place. We are very happy with our HP Laser Jet P1606. We used to have our public printer on both the wired PAC network and the public WiFi network, because it was a "single" network (IP addresses had the same initial 7 digits, 192.168.1.xxx). The only technical difficulties at that time were helping patrons locate and download the appropriate driver for our now 17 year old printer (newer laptops just don't expect those old printers to still be in use, so they don't come with the right driver installed!). Now, thanks to a firewall change patrons can no longer access the PAC network, and consequently cannot send print jobs to the printer (wired network is 192.168.1.xxx and wireless is 192.168.2.xxx). If they need to print something we ask them to sign on to a PAC, and if it really must be done from their laptop, I am able to connect their laptop to the network via an extra Ethernet port, in essence disabling their internal WiFi card temporarily). Of course that won't help if they're trying to print from a smart-phone or tablet, but so far one of the two previous work-arounds has always been sufficient. Something you might want to consider--if you get a printer with wireless capabilities, will it be accessible by your wired network computers? Do you have a firewall which for security reasons prevents your WiFi and wired network from interacting? Mark Morton Technical Services Librarian Leland Township Library 203 E. Cedar St. P.O.

Our current printer does not have wireless connectivity and we are looking at replacing it (we call it Bob Marley because it keeps on jammin') We are questioning if we should get one with wireless capability and connect it our public wireless network so other devices besides our public access computers can use it. I'm wondering if other libraries allow patron devices to connect to their printers and whether or not there been a lot of technical difficulties associated with letting people do this?

I've done some research and discovered issues with the fumes from the hot plastic and the fact that ultra fine particles are released into the air. I'm wondering if anyone else is currently using a 3D printer and how they have it setup? Specifically I'm interested in whether or not you use a fume extractor or ventilation system. Thanks!
