The Executive Board of the Northeast Kansas Library System (headquartered in Lawrence, KS), seeks an experienced library leader-responsive to member, staff, and community needs and skilled in focusing the efforts of a team of talented professionals-as its next System Director. NEKLS, one of the seven Kansas regional systems, is a multi-type library system and works in partnership with its 118 member libraries providing unique and innovative services. With a $2.8 million annual budget (funded primarily from local property taxes) and 10 FTE system staff, NEKLS serves a 14 county region (more than 40% of Kansas population). Member libraries range from small, rural libraries to very large urban libraries. NEKLS is a member-focused organization with a reputation for being an incubator for statewide projects, for providing excellent continuing education opportunities for member library directors, trustees and staff, and for strong outreach services to its diverse membership, including support for innovative technologies. Key projects include NExpress (an open source ILS), Recollections Kansas (a digitization project), KLOW (KS Libraries on the Web), Kansas Library Express (the statewide courier service), and the accreditation and grant program for member libraries. Ranked as one of the top ten best college towns, Lawrence, Kansas (home of the University of KS Jayhawks) offers much more than championship basketball tradition. Founded in 1854 by the New England Emigrant Aid Society, Lawrence was a stop on both the Oregon and the Santa Fe Trail. Later, Lawrence was the home of Langston Hughes and William S. Burroughs. Considered one of the National Trust for Historic Preservation's "Dozen Most Distinctive Communities," Lawrence is one of those rare exceptions-a historic downtown that remains the heart of a city. Centered on Massachusetts Street ("Mass Street"), the area features boutiques, restaurants, bookstores, and music venues. With a population of 89,000 people, Lawrence and Northeast Kansas offer a charming blend of urban and rural environments. In addition to nationally ranked public schools, Lawrence and the area offer the Lied Center of Kansas, Spencer Museum of Art, Liberty Hall, and Haskell Indian Nations University. Outdoor recreational venues include nationally known golf courses, extensive planned bike paths, Clinton Lake and Prairie Park. Two metro areas- Kansas City and Topeka- are a 30 minute drive away. For additional details on NEKLS and the Northeast Kansas region, see NEKLS Links . Responsibilities. The System Director, under the direction of the 18-member Executive Board, has overall responsibility for leadership and management of a fourteen county multi-type library system that seeks to pursue leadership and innovation in library service. Duties will include management of planning, budgets, personnel, service functions, and legislative advocacy. The System Director works with the Board, staff, member libraries, other Kansas systems, and the State Library to establish the strategic vision for the System, aligning its mission with member library needs and priorities. The Director will also ensure an active NEKLS presence in the statewide library community and professional activities. For complete details, visit NEKLS System Director Job Description .

Essential attributes and skills include: vision, creativity, energy and enthusiasm; superior interpersonal skills; flexibility; political acumen; collaborative and consensus-building skills; experience in recruiting, mentoring, evaluating and retaining an excellent staff; and a desire to continue the tradition of excellence and innovation within the System. Success working with and reporting to a governing board, political advocacy experience, the ability to work with member libraries on legal, governance and policy issues, and prior experience in regional systems or consortia are additional preferred qualifications. Compensation. The hiring salary range is $80,000-100,000 (placement being dependent on experience and qualifications) with an attractive benefits package.

Message-ID: <7ad9fcb9ae8647ba93ecc6c01ca76231@BN1PR09MB124.namprd09.prod.outlook.com> Good Afternoon! The Library of Michigan is pleased to announce a "soft launch" debut of the new and improved Michigan eLibrary, Monday, June 2, 2014. For the next 2 weeks, you can check out the "new" MeL from the link found on the current MeL homepage, http://mel.org. Besides an amazing new "look and feel" for the website, we have implemented a discovery service, so you will see a search box on both the MeL homepage and also on the Michigana homepage. Using the search box on the MeL homepage, you will access MeLCat, selected MeL subscription eResources (databases), curricular content/websites from the Michigan Online Resources for Educators (M.O.R.E.), MeL gateway websites, and selected digital Michigan history projects. Currently, not all of the databases and their content are included in the discovery search; for a list of those that are not now available for discovery, please see the alpha-list in MeL Databases and look for the red asterisk. Using the search box on the Michigana homepage, you will discover the content of many of the digital history collections which have been harvested for inclusion in MeL. We have also redesigned both MeL Kids and Teens Gateways. At MeL Kids, you will see to our new mascot, "Brookie" and his pal "ReadIt" who will introduce young MeL users to resources that can help them be successful in school and have fun too. MeL Teens is just, well....cool! The MeL Teams at the Library of Michigan and the Midwest Collaborative for Library Services have been working on this redesign for well over a year with Innovative Interfaces Inc., http://iii.com/ and EBSCO EDS, http://ebscohost.com/discovery for the discovery service and with Strudell Studios, a division of Courtland Consulting, http://www.strudellstudios.com/index.php for the website design. It has truly been a process and a work in progress, but it is time for a debut! During the next 2 weeks, we ask that you check out and use the new MeL, and if you would, let us know what you think. A wise woman once quoted from Voltaire that "The perfect is the enemy of the good.", and while we would never claim perfection, we do think that MeL 2014 is a vast improvement on what all Michigan residents have used and benefited from these many years. You can contact me, or my colleague Sonya Norris, norriss2 at michigan.gov with your comments, critiques, etc. The MeL Team will continue to work to make sure that the new Michigan eLibrary continues to grow and responds to user's needs, so we know you'll be watching! We plan to say good-bye to the current MeL which has been in use since 2008 on June 16, 2014. An official press release will be forthcoming. Many thanks for your support and promotion for the Michigan eLibrary, a service of the Library of Michigan!

And the USDA reimburses meals served in rural areas: breakfast = $2.0375; lunch or supper = $3.56; snack = $.855. Libraries can participate by either serving the meals themselves or providing a location for another organization to serve meals. Lots of kids go hungry in the summer. 32,300,000 children (45% of all US children) live in low-income families. 16,100,000 children (22% of all US children) live in poor families. During the school year, USDA's free and reduced lunch program helps feed 21 million, but, in the summer, only 2.1 million children are fed through USDA's Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) at http://tinyurl.com/lb8kycj. View the recorded TechSoup Webinar to learn about how you and your organization can increase the numbers of youth who benefit from free meals in your community this summer. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Ms. Rae Dumke is the former Executive Director of MAF, AIA Michigan (American Institute of Architects Michigan), and AIA Detroit. She currently serves on the MAF Board of Trustees. Upon her retirement, an endowment was established in Ms. Dumke?s name through contributions to MAF. The Rae Dumke Collection of 100 essential architecture books was developed by a MAF committee. The members of this committee were Alan Cobb, Albert Kahn Associates; Rae Dumke, Honorary AIA; Doug Koschik, Baldwin Library; Jeffrey Ryntz, Saroki Architecture; Michelle Saroki, Saroki Architecture; and Stephen Smith, TMP Architecture. Titles were suggested by architects and other people around the country. Through an endowment fund set up with the Baldwin Public Library Trust, this collection was purchased for and will be housed at Baldwin, with the understanding that the books will be available not only to Baldwin cardholders, but also nationwide through interlibrary loan. The collection will be updated on a regular basis. You can find out more about the collection at: http://baldwinlib.org/100-essential-architecture-books/ The inaugural event of this collection will take place at the Library.

As part of the ongoing partnership between libraries and the Secretary of State's Office, I'm hoping you will consider sharing the following information as well as the attached flyers with your patrons. As always, thanks so much for your help! 1. New Veterans Designation for Driver's Licenses and State IDs Note: In May, I provided you with a short message to share on the new veteran's designation for driver's licenses and state IDs. I subsequently received a request from a library director for a flyer on this new service that could be posted in libraries. Thanks for that suggestion! In response, we created the attached flyer that we hope you will post and if you didn't get a chance to share the original message with your patrons, here it is: Secretary of State announces veteran designation for licenses and ID cards Michigan veterans can now display their proof of service right on their Michigan driver's license or state ID card, making it easer to receive benefits that often go unclaimed, such as retail discounts, promotions and special offers. According to Secretary of State Ruth Johnson, the new designation is available to all honorably discharged Michigan veterans and is free of charge when renewing a state license or ID or applying for one. 2. Voter Registration Deadline Please share the following message on the upcoming registration deadline for the August 5 election. I've also provided a flyer for you to post (see attached). Election Alert Election Day in Michigan is Tuesday, August 5. To vote, you must be registered by July 7.

It is Our Fires Still Burn: The Native American Experience, a one hour documentary by Audrey Geyer. Audrey comes to your library and after the documentary conducts a question and answer section. Audrey is based out of Brighton and can be contacted at: AudreyGeyer at aol.com or 810-772-9628. More about the film: This exciting and compelling one hour documentary invites viewers into the lives of contemporary Native American role models living in the Midwest. It dispels the myth that American Indians have disappeared from the American horizon, and reveals how they continue to persist, heal from the past, confront the challenges of today, keep their culture alive, and make great contributions to society. Their experiences will deeply touch both Natives and non-Natives and help build bridges of understanding, respect, and communication. The tragic history of Native Americans is considered by many to be our ?American Holocaust.? This can be seen in the history of the Boarding School Era, during which time Native children were forcibly removed from their homes and placed into boarding schools. Interviewees explain how this past trauma continues to negatively impact their emotional and physical health today and contribute to urgent social problems. To help heal this historical trauma, Native peoples are reclaiming their spiritual and cultural identity. In the documentary, an Ojibwa Firekeeper demonstrates the ancient healing ceremony of the Sacred Fire. Also, a Native American businessman, journalist, artist and youth advocate share how they use ancestral teachings to foster diversity and creativity as well as to educate and initiate social change. The stories shared in this documentary are powerful, startling, despairing and inspiring. They reflect an American history fraught with the systematic destruction of a people. Yet, amidst the debris of suffering and trauma, there is resilience and a profound remembering and healing taking place today, which will also benefit the next Seven Generations. If you'd like to know more about the program or anything else feel free to contact me. It would make a great addition to your program calendar.

The Berkeley Public Library Board of Trustees seeks a creative and thoughtful Director of Library Services to lead a team of talented professionals continuing to position the Library as a prominent player in Berkeley?s continuum of learning and inspiration. Through traditional formats and growing digital collections, the Library serves as a local resource contributing to local creativity, preserving the community?s collective history, nourishing the arts, supporting small businesses and job seekers, and welcoming its citizens and enriching their lives. The City of Berkeley has always put public libraries at the center of city life. A highly skilled and creative staff (113 FTE) at the Central Library and four branches welcomed 1.4 million visitors in 2013 and loaned 1.9 million items. With a dedicated funding source (annual budget-$16 million) and a quality collection of 600,000 items, Berkeley Public Library leads the state in per capita use. A five-member Board of Trustees, appointed by the City Council, governs the Library. The Berkeley Public Library Foundation, established in 1997, recently raised $3 million dollars supporting the Branch Library renovation program. Additional support comes from the vital Friends of the Berkeley Public Library through strong fundraising and advocacy efforts. The City of Berkeley, ?the city with a small population and a big reputation,? is located on the eastern shore of the San Francisco Bay. With more than 120,000 residents, Berkeley is a welcoming and diverse community?proud of their heritage as a center of academic achievement (University of California, Berkeley), scientific exploration, free speech, and the arts. People come for the culture and stay for the food - Berkeley is a cultural and culinary destination where residents and visitors find a dynamic city with an international flavor. Attractions include two arts districts, the Berkeley Marina, state-of-the-art pedestrian and bicycle paths, stunning outdoor recreational opportunities, farmers markets, and unlimited senior activities. Oakland, San Francisco, and the rolling hills of wine country are all within close proximity of Berkeley and offer additional cultural and recreational amenities.

Larry June 5, 2014 HSM's New Partnership With MLive Shines a Spotlight on Michigan's Historical Destinations! The Historical Society of Michigan is partnering with MLive newspapers, formerly Booth Newspapers, to provide readers with detailed information about the hundreds of historical destinations throughout Michigan. Each week, the MLive "Travel" pages will feature one of the 475-plus museums, historic sites, and history attractions that are listed in HSM's Historic Michigan Travel Guide. The MLive papers are The Ann Arbor News, The Bay City Times, The Flint Journal, The Grand Rapids Press, Jackson Citizen Patriot, Kalamazoo Gazette, Muskegon Chronicle, and The Saginaw News. Click a thumbnail below to see a sample article. cid:image008.jpg at 01CF80A7.553B5800 cid:image009.jpg at 01CF80A7.553B5800 Each historical destination that is featured is chosen from the Travel Guide, and all sections of the state will be represented: Western, Central, Eastern, Northern, and Upper Peninsula. The articles contain a brief description; a photo; details on location, hours, admission cost, and visitor accessibility; and contact information of the historical destination. This partnership with MLive is another benefit for our member organizations, and it focuses on one of our five mission points: support for local history organizations. Plus, this is a great opportunity for the public to learn more about Michigan's diverse heritage and cultures. It's another way that HSM is keeping Michigan's history at everyone's fingertips. Interested in purchasing a Historic Michigan Travel Guide? Go to our online store to order yours today! The Travel Guide is also available at all Michigan Meijer stores and your local bookstore. Interested in becoming part of the Historic Michigan Travel Guide? The key requirement for inclusion is a current membership in the Historical Society of Michigan. To join, click here. The Travel Guide is aimed directly at historical, cultural, and heritage tourism, so the site should be considered a tourist destination that is focused on history, and it should offer regular hours that it is open to the public. Contact us at hsm at hsmichigan.org for more information. _____ _____ The Historical Society of Michigan is our state's oldest cultural organization, founded in 1828 by territorial governor Lewis Cass and explorer Henry Schoolcraft.

Pierce County (WA) Library System Message-ID: <02e201cf8419$e081b740$a18525c0$@gossagesager.com> Executive Director-Pierce County (WA) Library System! 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.

When the FY 2014/2015 Public Library Annual Report/State Aid Application opens on October 1st of 2014, the Library of Michigan will be using Counting Opinions' Library Performance Assessment software LibPAS. This new software with its intuitive design, allows for a much smoother data collection process and many more robust reporting features for libraries. The Library of Michigan will be offering LibPAS training webinars, open to all public library directors or their designated staff that complete the Annual Report/State Aid Application. Public Library Directors will also receive a letter early next week containing their libraries login information, please feel free to explore the new software. Acclimation time to the new software is anticipated to be very short as the survey order and data entry will remain unchanged. However, the new software does have some features that users will not be familiar with and we ask you to please attend one of the webinars offered. LibPAS Webinars: * July 1st at 1:00pm * July 23rd at 2:00pm * July 31st at 3:00pm Participants may register to attend one of these webinars at http://www.solutionwhere.com/lom/cw/showcourse.asp?49 An archived recording will be made available for those who cannot attend.

Message-ID: Today, June 16, 2014, the Library of Michigan is pleased to announce the official debut of the new and improved Michigan elibrary, http://mel.org! Besides an amazing new "look and feel" for the website, we have implemented a discovery service, so you will see a search box on both the MeL homepage and also on the Michigana homepage. Using the search box on the MeL homepage, you will access MeLCat, selected MeL subscription eResources (databases), curricular content/websites from the Michigan Online Resources for Educators (M.O.R.E.), MeL gateway websites, and selected digital Michigan history projects. Currently, not all of the databases and their content are included in the discovery search; for a list of those that are not now available for discovery, please see the alpha-list in MeL Databases and look for the red asterisk. Using the search box on the Michigana homepage, you will discover the content of many of the digital history collections which have been harvested for inclusion in MeL. We have also redesigned both MeL Kids and Teens Gateways. At MeL Kids, http://mel.org/kids, you will see to our new mascot, "Brookie" and his pal "ReadIt" who will introduce young MeL users to resources that can help them be successful in school and have fun too. MeL Teens, http://mel.org/teens is just, well....cool! We've also done some reorg of the other MeL Gateways: * Business (http://mel.org/business) * Jobs (http://mel.org/jobs ) * Government (http://mel.org/government) * Health (http://mel.org/health) * Legal (http://mel.org/legal) * Books & Literacy (http://mel.org/books) The MeL Teams at the Library of Michigan and the Midwest Collaborative for Library Services have been working on this redesign for well over a year with Innovative Interfaces Inc., http://iii.com/ and EBSCO EDS, http://ebscohost.com/discovery for the discovery service and with Strudell Studios, a division of Courtland Consulting, http://www.strudellstudios.com/index.php for the website design. It has truly been a process and a work in progress, but it's time to launch! Please let us know what you think, and as with any website, there will be tweaks/updates/additions along the way, but we are pleased, and hope that you will find the new MeL even more useful and relevant that you have in the past. With kind regards for the whole MeL Team, Deb Deb Biggs Thomas, MA AMLS Michigan eLibrary & Outreach Coordinator Library of Michigan/Michigan Dept. of Education 702 W. Kalamazoo St. Lansing, MI 48909 Phone: 517-373-4466 _____________________________________________________________________________ Visit MeL at: http://mel.org and on Facebook at: http://facebook.com/mel.org The Library of Michigan is pleased to share a new video series highlighting Michigan libraries and how they are making a difference in their communities.

I had a wonderful volunteer crew who came in to renovate areas of the library before Summer Reading and one of the projects we did was install your new 'measure yourself in library cards' wall. That's where you all came in. I saw this idea at the Public Library Association Conference from the Bergeron Group (I believe that was their name). They had some fantastic ideas but too expensive for me. So,we got crafty! Thank you all! Natalie Bazan MA, MLIS Library Director Hopkins District Library Dorr Township Library 118 E.

The Metropolitan Library System Commission seeks a talented, thoughtful, and pioneering leader to chart the exciting future for 14 large, full-service libraries and five smaller extension libraries located throughout the communities of Oklahoma County . Funded by a 5.2 mill property tax ($33 million annual budget) and governed by a 27-member appointed Library Commission, this large, diverse system of urban, suburban and rural libraries serves 750,000 Oklahoma County residents living within 708 square miles. In 2013, 500 dedicated staff welcomed 2.9 million visitors circulating 6.6 million items. With its vast array of programs, services and events, the Library promotes flexibility and change as it reaches out to the many communities throughout the County. The Friends of the Library raise funds, volunteer, and advocate for the Library and the Library Endowment Trust provides an excellent opportunity for contributions to be invested on a permanent basis. The deep-rooted charm and energetic atmosphere of Oklahoma City and central Oklahoma invite people to call it home. The City is part of a spirited urban renaissance which includes the Bricktown Entertainment District, Film Row, the Oklahoma City Museum of Art, and the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum. Dubbed the ?Loud City,? sports fans have the opportunity to cheer on the NBA basketball team, the Oklahoma City Thunder, and the Oklahoma City Red Hawks (Houston Astros Triple A baseball team). Families enjoy a wide range of events throughout the year-Olympic and Paralympic Rowing in the Boathouse District on the Oklahoma River, The Red Earth Festival, deadCENTER Film Festival, Festival of the Arts, Downtown in December and the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon. The area is also rich in history and tradition. In addition to forging new entrepreneurial frontiers and a dynamic creative economy, the area is also part of the Great American Frontier. Supported by a renowned accelerator infrastructure, the city attracts entrepreneurs from both coasts. Oklahoma City?s solid and successful economy is fueled by 5 key business ecosystems: Energy, Information & Financial Services, Transportation & Distribution, Aviation & Defense, and Agriculture & Biosciences. These ecosystems are supported by an engaged academic community with five major universities in the region including the renowned University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center. Too, since 1997, i2E has fueled Oklahoma small business development.

Sorry in advance for poking the bear here but I am too irritated not to respond. I echo the sentiments to the staff. Good job for handling an awkward situation calmly. .......................................................................................................................... "They made him so uncomfortable that he had to leave?" Harris said. "I think that's awful. The library owes him an apology." If people were uncomfortable by seeing a man with a gun, that's their problem, he said. "Unfortunately for them, nothing in the law says they have the right to be comfortable." ........................................................................................................................... The library should apologize to this patron for making him feel so uncomfortable that he left? By this logic, if the patron decided he was comfortable enough to stay, he then has to apologize to every family attending the event who decided to leave since they were made to feel uncomfortable. I'd relish seeing that played out.

EBSCO has indicated that for the foreseeable future, orders for Flipster titles will be priced on a library by library basis, according to the library's population served. That said, here is some general information regarding pricing (and more) for Flipster, taken from an actual price quote for a Class 4 public library in Michigan with a population served of 32,000: 1. The Flipster pricing model differs from Zinio in that there is no access fee. Flipster titles can be purchased on an individual basis, as many or as few as you like. For this Class 4 library with a pop served of 32,000 prices ranged from a per-title low of $7.47 for Soundings, to a high of $2,309.85 for Consumer Reports (ouch). I added the prices for 96 of the 97 available Flipster titles, throwing out Consumer Reports on account its price would skew the results, and divided the total by 96. This gave an average price of $80.91 per Flipster title. Remember, your results will vary, unless you are a Class 4 public library with a population served of 32,000. 2. I compared a few prices for 10 popular titles that are available for purchase from both vendors. Prices were taken from the quote for the Class 4 library in the case of Flipster, and from the master pricing spreadsheet for Zinio. The results were as follows: Newsweek: Zinio, $74.97. Flipster, $250.00 Oxygen: Zinio, $74.97. Flipster, $62.42 Cosmopolitan: Zinio, $149.97 Flipster, $149.93 O, Oprah Magazine: Zinio, $59.97 Flipster, $149.93 Car and Driver: Zinio, $59.97 Flipster, $149.93 New Old House: Zinio, $41.94 Flipster, $17.48 US Weekly: Zinio, $209.85 Flipster, $174.88 Women's Health: Zinio, $75.00 Flipster, $49.98 Rolling Stone: Zinio, $89.95 Flipster, $74.88 Popular Mechanics: Zinio, $59.97 Flipster, $149.93 Keep in mind that on account the differing pricing models, and differing caps (or not), that the above is not a strict apples to apples comparison. Rather, more like apples to pomegranates? Or, as a very wise uncle of mine would have said, the above pricing info and a quarter will buy you a cup of coffee (obviously my uncle's era pre-dated that of Starbucks and its prices for a cup of coffee). 3. As noted, Flipster currently offers a total of 97 titles. While this may not sound like very many when compared to the nearly 2,000 titles offered by Zinio, keep in mind that a large percentage of Zinio's available titles are published in the UK, New Zealand, Mexico, South Africa, etc and thus would be of interest only to the largest public libraries in the United States. In contrast, all 97 Flipster titles would be potential "buys" in any public library. For some perspective, TLN's shared Zinio collection https://www.rbdigital.com/thelibrarynetworkmi/service/zinio/landing contains 239 titles. 4. The Flipster model also differs from Zinio in that while the majority of currently available Flipster titles offer an unlimited number of simultaneous users, other Flipster titles have a "cap" on the number of simultaneous users of either 500 or 50. Of the 97 currently available Flipster titles, 65 are unlimited, simultaneous use, while 32 have a "cap" of either 500 or 50 simultaneous users. Zinio recently converted its model from one of unlimited use, to one featuring per issue, annual circulation caps that vary by title. The most prevalent per issue circ "cap" number for Zinio is 2,500, although some titles, such as The Economist, have a much lower per issue annual circulation cap. To summarize, Flipster could be a good choice for libraries that want to try offering individual eMagazines to patrons, but don't want or can't afford, an access fee and/or aren't part of a cooperative group that shares the content fee. If Flipster keeps adding new titles at a rapid rate, it could potentially provide some price negotiation leverage to use when talking to Zinio, in the form of competition. There is a great deal of overlap in terms of the selection of available titles, although Consumer Reports is an EBSCO exclusive title these days. Flipster also offers some other library popular titles, such as National Review, that are not available from Zinio. Please contact either EBSCO sales rep Matthew Antonucci email mantonucci at ebsco.com or myself if you would like more information about Flipster. Thanks.

Sorry about that! Pricing still applies as below.

EBSCO has indicated that for the foreseeable future, orders for Flipster titles will be priced on a library by library basis, according to the library's population served. That said, here is some general information regarding pricing (and more) for Flipster, taken from an actual price quote for a Class 4 public library in Michigan with a population served of 32,000: 1. The Flipster pricing model differs from Zinio in that there is no access fee. Flipster titles can be purchased on an individual basis, as many or as few as you like. For this Class 4 library with a pop served of 32,000 prices ranged from a per-title low of $7.47 for Soundings, to a high of $2,309.85 for Consumer Reports (ouch). I added the prices for 96 of the 97 available Flipster titles, throwing out Consumer Reports on account its price would skew the results, and divided the total by 96. This gave an average price of $80.91 per Flipster title. Remember, your results will vary, unless you are a Class 4 public library with a population served of 32,000. 2. I compared a few prices for 10 popular titles that are available for purchase from both vendors. Prices were taken from the quote for the Class 4 library in the case of Flipster, and from the master pricing spreadsheet for Zinio. The results were as follows: Newsweek: Zinio, $74.97. Flipster, $250.00 Oxygen: Zinio, $74.97. Flipster, $62.42 Cosmopolitan: Zinio, $149.97 Flipster, $149.93 O, Oprah Magazine: Zinio, $59.97 Flipster, $149.93 Car and Driver: Zinio, $59.97 Flipster, $149.93 New Old House: Zinio, $41.94 Flipster, $17.48 US Weekly: Zinio, $209.85 Flipster, $174.88 Women's Health: Zinio, $75.00 Flipster, $49.98 Rolling Stone: Zinio, $89.95 Flipster, $74.88 Popular Mechanics: Zinio, $59.97 Flipster, $149.93 Keep in mind that on account the differing pricing models, and differing caps (or not), that the above is not a strict apples to apples comparison. Rather, more like apples to pomegranates? Or, as a very wise uncle of mine would have said, the above pricing info and a quarter will buy you a cup of coffee (obviously my uncle's era pre-dated that of Starbucks and its prices for a cup of coffee). 3. As noted, Flipster currently offers a total of 97 titles. While this may not sound like very many when compared to the nearly 2,000 titles offered by Zinio, keep in mind that a large percentage of Zinio's available titles are published in the UK, New Zealand, Mexico, South Africa, etc and thus would be of interest only to the largest public libraries in the United States. In contrast, all 97 Flipster titles would be potential "buys" in any public library. For some perspective, TLN's shared Zinio collection https://www.rbdigital.com/thelibrarynetworkmi/service/zinio/landing contains 239 titles. 4. The Flipster model also differs from Zinio in that while the majority of currently available Flipster titles offer an unlimited number of simultaneous users, other Flipster titles have a "cap" on the number of simultaneous users of either 500 or 50. Of the 97 currently available Flipster titles, 65 are unlimited, simultaneous use, while 32 have a "cap" of either 500 or 50 simultaneous users. Zinio recently converted its model from one of unlimited use, to one featuring per issue, annual circulation caps that vary by title. The most prevalent per issue circ "cap" number for Zinio is 2,500, although some titles, such as The Economist, have a much lower per issue annual circulation cap. To summarize, Flipster could be a good choice for libraries that want to try offering individual eMagazines to patrons, but don't want or can't afford, an access fee and/or aren't part of a cooperative group that shares the content fee.

Ms. Hensley is the Instructional Services Librarian and an Assistant Professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She is also the co-coordinator of the Scholarly Commons, a library unit that serves the emerging research and technology needs of scholars in data services, digital humanities, digitization, and scholarly communication. She is serving as vice chair (soon to be chair) of ACRL's Student Learning and Information Literacy Committee and is a member of the ACRL Information Literacy Standards Revision Task Force. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in political science from the University of Arizona and a Master of Science in Library Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The Michigan Instruction Exchange (MIX) is a focused day of discussion and learning for instruction librarians. Unlike a large conference full of presentations, MIX offers several opportunities for the participants to talk with each other about issues specific to information literacy instruction in academic libraries. Breakout sessions and round table discussions are facilitated by instruction librarians from around the state. GVSU will be hosting the 2nd biennial MIX on Friday, August 8, in Allendale, just west of Grand Rapids, Michigan. Registration is capped at 120 participants. Registration will be open until July 18 or until filled. MIX was created in 2012 by the Instructor College at the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor.

QSAC measures AND certifications are on a three-year update and renewal schedule to ensure the measures and libraries stay on top of quality service. The Library of Michigan works with volunteer librarians every three years to revise the measures based on participating libraries' experiences and new trends in library services, programs and technology. It is our goal that QSAC measures will continue to provide direction and support for libraries as they look to both improve their services and justify their services to funders.

THE 2014 CHARLES FOLLO AWARD Marilyn Fischer, this year's Charles Follo Award recipient, is originally from Detroit but has dedicated the last 30 years of her life to the history of the Upper Peninsula. Fischer helped form the Gulliver Historical Society in 1988 and spearheaded the restoration of the Seul Choix Point Lighthouse, which is now listed on the State and National Registers of Historic Places and is open to the public as a museum. She has also authored four books about Seul Choix Point and the Gulliver area, including Seul Choix Point Light and Spirits at Seul Choix Point; researched and wrote the scripts for four history video productions; conducted oral history interviews with more than 50 Schoolcraft County families; and written 20 successful grants to fund historic preservation and restoration. The Charles Follo Award was established in 1979 and is named in honor of an Escanaba school teacher who worked to establish historical societies and promote the history of the Upper Peninsula. The Historical Society of Michigan presents this annual award to an individual who has made an outstanding contribution to the preservation and promotion of Upper Peninsula history. THE 2014 SUPERIOR AWARD This year's Superior Award recipient, the Les Cheneaux Historical Association, originated in 1967 as a display of photographs and artifacts in a dock-based storage shed. As it nears its golden anniversary, that association's volunteers and nine-person staff oversee a historical museum, maritime museum, a nationally known antique wooden boat show and festival of arts, and many other programs that preserve and interpret the Les Cheneaux area's history. The Historical Association's exhibits and programs focus on the area's unique past, especially logging and lumber camps, summer resort hotels, and boating. It offers a wide variety of events, including an annual Antique Wooden Boat Show, a juried art fair, "Artist of the Week" programs, "Music at the Maritime Museum" evenings with local musicians, a Christmas tree auction, and a boat-building workshop.

In short, 2 billion dollars over 2 years are slated to increase wi-fi capacity in schools and libraries, particularly in rural and high-poverty areas. Join us at the Library of Michigan for Advanced E-Rate training in October to learn the details and stay tuned to Michlib-l and LM4X, the Library of Michigan's quarterly newsletter. Registration information will be available soon and advertised both on Michlib-l and at LM's E-Rate page: http://michigan.gov/erateforlibraries. To read more, please see these links from the FCC and ALA: FCC Chairman Wheeler proposes landmark E-Rate Modernization to bring high speed wi-fi to every student and library [PDF icon] June, 2014: Chairman Wheeler circulated an E-Rate Modernization proposal to his fellow Commissioners to revitalize the E-Rate program for the world of personalized learning. During the past 18 years, E-Rate has helped transform schools' and libraries' access to modern communications networks. But educational connectivity has changed: whereas once it was revolutionary to connect a computer lab down the hall to the Internet, harnessing the full value of digital learning today means enabling all students to go online from their desk or from any library workspace. * Official FCC Blog: Access to the Underserved: Keeping Up with the Times by: Tom Wheeler, Chairman * ALA encouraged by FCC Chairman's commitment to a multi-stage E-rate reform District Dispatch: The Official ALA Washington Office Blog: The American Library Association (ALA) recognizes the difficult task in front of the Commission to move the E-rate program from basic connections to high-capacity broadband and is supportive of its effort to do so. ALA and libraries also have fully engaged in this challenge with our school colleagues and hundreds of other stakeholders to answer an urgent call to meet 21st century learning demands. And there is broad consensus that we cannot meet these demands with funding that has hardly budged in 18 years. We must establish a sustainable foundation for the future.

Colleen Colleen Leddy, Director Stair Public Library 228 W. Main St. Morenci, MI 49256 517/458-6510 There are only six weeks left to register at the Early Bird rate for the Association for Rural & Small Libraries' annual conference to be held in Tacoma, WA. Registration sold out last year for this event and the conference hotel is already completely booked, so now is the time to be making your decisions! Counting down the first five reasons you should come to Tacoma on September 4th through the 6th! *This is what you tell your boss:* #10 - Keynote Speaker Daniel Rasmus: Libraries Reimagined! Daniel Rasmus is the futurist whose session our colleague raved about when she returned from the Computers in Library conference. #9 - Pre-conference: Library Tours I could learn about space planning from three very different libraries in the morning: ? A modular library built quickly & green which uses the bookstore method to shelve materials. ? Or I could see how King County Library, one of the best in the country, builds in flexibility ? Check out an exquisitely restored and repurposed Carnegie library Then in the afternoon I could go to Rooms that Rock: practical tips for library space planning. #8 - More Pre-conference: Which do you think I should attend-how to design a literature festival for our community or crafting a successful adult education program? #7 - Which would benefit our community more? Should I attend the Gizmo Garage pre-conference at which I could simultaneously increase my skill level with gadgets and learn about the program or do I need to take the preconference about delivering youth services now that Thelma is retiring? #6 - Keynote Speaker Samantha Becker: You don't have to do it all! Samantha is going to cover that new benchmarking system for technology, The Edge Initiative. It will give us information to use with stakeholders. *This is what you tell your family:* #10 - Would you like to go hiking Mt Rainier, the snowy volcano which dominates the eastern skyline? #9 - Or should we take a ferryboat ride on scenic Puget Sound? #8 - Which would you prefer? Getting up close and personal with polar bears at the Point Defiance Zoo or enjoying the zip line at Northwest Trek Animal Park? #7 - How about a gondola ride up Crystal Mountain with spectacular views of Mt. Rainier? #6 - Decide between LeMay: America's Car Museum which has a special Mustang review downtown or go ten miles away to the LeMay complete collection which covers acres? NOT CONVINCED YET? STAY TUNED FOR THE LAST FIVE REASONS TO ATTEND! Or check out the website at http://arsl.info/category/conferences/conference-2014/ Have you already made up your mind and are ready to register? https://www.amrms.com/ssl/arsl/membership/Conference/Registration.aspx See you in Tacoma! -- Vicki Grimli Ortonville/Graceville/Kerkhoven Public Library320-839-2494/320-748-7332/320-264-2141 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Year 1/Month 1 In-Reply-To: <359957926.879188.1403612748228.JavaMail.root@tln.lib.mi.us> Message-ID: <339885456.895474.1403613991467.JavaMail.root@tln.lib.mi.us> All, The MAP numbers are in for Year 2/Month 1, and I am pleased to share the with you the following: Usage of MAP for the first complete month of Year 2 is UP eight percent vs the first complete month of MAP for Year 1. This is significant for a number of reasons: 1. The debut of any program receives considerable press coverage and hype, which certainly was the case with statewide MAP last year. This results in increased awareness and thus, usage of said program. Going forward, press coverage can be tougher to get. "Been there, done that." Thus, the eight percent increase in usage vs. last year is significant. 2. We have seen checkouts at libraries in this first month of MAP Year 2, that had no checkouts at all in twelve months of MAP Year 1. As press coverage has leveled off, this tells us that library promotion is making the difference. Keep it up! 3. Our new MAP partner venues are seeing good traffic. Michigan Science Center and Gilmore Car Museum are particularly popular. And the majority of our 50 brand new destinations for MAP Year 2 have already had visitors, destinations such as Besser Museum for Northeast Michigan, Grand Traverse Lighthouse Museum, USS Silversides Submarine Museum, Mid-Michigan Children's Museum, and Dennos Museum Center. One brand new partner, Lowell Area Historical Museum, had a checkout on the first day they joined MAP! And of course long time MAP partners Detroit Institute of Arts, Cranbrook Art Museum and Holocaust Memorial Center are continuing to educate and enlighten the public library patrons of Michigan. The bottom line is, if you promote it, he/she/they will come, and check out a MAP pass, too. Look for another edition of Brigette's "MAP Top Ten List" this Friday. Thank you for your support and promotion of the Michigan Activity Pass program.

Fischer, who hails from Gulliver, Mich., received the Charles Follo Award, which acknowledges the work of an individual. The Superior Award, which recognizes the achievements of historical societies, museums and other history-related organizations, was awarded to the Les Cheneaux Historical Association, located in Cedarville, Mich. The awards were presented during the Society's Upper Peninsula History Awards Banquet at the Historic Blaney Inn, in Blaney, Mich., on June 21, 2014. For more information about the Historical Society of Michigan and its award programs, visit www.hsmichigan.org or call (517) 324-1828. THE 2014 CHARLES FOLLO AWARD Marilyn Fischer, this year's Charles Follo Award recipient, is originally from Detroit but has dedicated the last 30 years of her life to the history of the Upper Peninsula. Fischer helped form the Gulliver Historical Society in 1988 and spearheaded the restoration of the Seul Choix Point Lighthouse, which is now listed on the State and National Registers of Historic Places and is open to the public as a museum. She has also authored four books about Seul Choix Point and the Gulliver area, including Seul Choix Point Light and Spirits at Seul Choix Point; researched and wrote the scripts for four history video productions; conducted oral history interviews with more than 50 Schoolcraft County families; and written 20 successful grants to fund historic preservation and restoration. The Charles Follo Award was established in 1979 and is named in honor of an Escanaba school teacher who worked to establish historical societies and promote the history of the Upper Peninsula. The Historical Society of Michigan presents this annual award to an individual who has made an outstanding contribution to the preservation and promotion of Upper Peninsula history. THE 2014 SUPERIOR AWARD This year's Superior Award recipient, the Les Cheneaux Historical Association, originated in 1967 as a display of photographs and artifacts in a dock-based storage shed. As it nears its golden anniversary, that association's volunteers and nine-person staff oversee a historical museum, maritime museum, a nationally known antique wooden boat show and festival of arts, and many other programs that preserve and interpret the Les Cheneaux area's history. The Historical Association's exhibits and programs focus on the area's unique past, especially logging and lumber camps, summer resort hotels, and boating. It offers a wide variety of events, including an annual Antique Wooden Boat Show, a juried art fair, "Artist of the Week" programs, "Music at the Maritime Museum" evenings with local musicians, a Christmas tree auction, and a boat-building workshop. The Historical Society of Michigan created the Superior Award in 2006 to recognize historical societies, museums, and other historical organizations that have preserved and advanced Upper Peninsula history. _____ cid:image001.jpg at 01CF8A43.BF828E40 _____ The Historical Society of Michigan is our state's oldest cultural organization, founded in 1828 by territorial governor Lewis Cass and explorer Henry Schoolcraft.

Message-ID: <53A9913A.9020802@sandusky.lib.mi.us> Hello Library Community - I have two questions to pose to anyone interested in providing some advice / assistance: (1) Is there a source for free braille material that would be appropriate for a 1st grader? One of our local teachers is looking for Easy materials that are written in braille with words accompanying the braille text. I have given her paperwork and information for LBPH at St. Clair County Library System, but would love any further help in this matter. (2) The tech director at one of our local schools is facing a problem with a local automation system. He asked me if I would pose a question to this group concerning the use of an open source library system (ie. Evergreen) to run a very small school library. Of course, the school system has next to no money to spend on technology and the old system has crashed with (probably) no back up. Any information on whether open source is a viable 'fix' would be greatly appreciated. As always, thank you in advance for any and all advice!

You can both view and use the widget as well as get the code here: http://mel.org/widget/meldiscoverywidget.html It does not require end users in Michigan to enter their driver's license/state ID or participating library card number to view results as it is based on geo-ip authentication. It will work inside your library as well as at your patron's homes or offices. If someone uses this widget outside of Michigan they will be prompted to demonstrate residency with driver's license/state ID or participating library card number. This widget harnesses the resources of MeL databases as well as MeLCat. Results from the discovery service widget are full text database content, vetted websites from the MeL gateways, and/or direct you to a MeLCat resource. It is regularly updated with new information from all sources. It functions the same way the search box on the MeL homepage does and we welcome you to test drive it today. There is also a MeLCat Classic widget that continues to be available at: http://mel.org/widget/melcatwidget.html Have a great week everyone, Sonya Sonya Schryer Norris Library Consultant and Plinkit Coordinator Library of Michigan 517-373-4457 http://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan http://www.mel.org http://www.michlibrary.org Invest in a child's future today.

Serials jobber WT Cox has formed a partnership to offer Magzter, which has sold eMagazines to the consumer market for several years, to libraries. As the promoter and distributor of the statewide WT Cox print subscription offer to Michigan library cooperative member libraries, TLN also hopes to be able to take the lead with the WT Cox/Magzter partnership, too. We have met with Shannon Caison, Director of Inside Sales for WT Cox, and also with Dana A. Reeves, Regional Director of Sales for WT Cox, and as a result we hope to be able to broker either a statewide or library cooperative wide discount schedule with WT Cox for Michigan libraries with Magzter.

For the next two weeks, you can check out the new MCLS website from the link provided on the current website, www.mcls.org. You'll see many improvements! Please keep in mind that it's still a work in progress - you'll see a little construction dust. New features We are excited to offer many new and improved features on the new MCLS website: Redesigned homepage - the homepage has been redesigned to be more intuitive with streamlined navigation and a much improved site search, so you can quickly find the information you need. In addition, with the targeted news feeds on the homepage, you can more easily stay on top of the latest news, special offers, and training classes from MCLS. Product Search - find eResources and products much more easily through searching by product type, library type and/or keyword. Upcoming Training & Events - the Training & Events list is now more intuitive, scannable and easier to use. Logging in to the MCLS website With two websites live at the same time, the old login page will be shared between the two websites. If you login from the new site, you will be taken to the old site login to place your order/renew your subscription/etc. Melba Moose You might notice the absence of Melba Moose from our new site - Melba decided it was time for retirement. She's now spending her days basking in the sunshine at Potter Park Zoo, just a few miles down the street from the MCLS offices in Lansing. (Her retirement name is 'Willow'). Please wish her well in retirement, and stop by Potter Park Zoo to say hello! Online survey During the next two weeks, please take a few minutes to check out the new MCLS website and let us know what you like, any bugs you might find, suggestions for improvement, and what else you might like to see via this online survey. We would love your feedback to help us make the new site even better. We hope that you find the new MCLS website a pleasurable experience!

We are working on an exciting project to migrate BusinessDecision to a new platform with new data sources, a new look and feel, and other updates. We will make the changes in two to three stages over the summer months. The first stage is to migrate BusinessDecision to a new platform at Esri. This migration will happen on Friday, 6/27, after 5:00 pm PDT. The change will be transparent to your end users with one exception--thematic maps will not be available in this version. Thematic maps will be restored as soon as the next stage of migration takes place this summer (see details below). We apologize for this temporary interruption in service. The second migration will happen later this summer. With the move to BusinessDecision 3.0, a number of changes will take place. * Thematic maps will be restored and expanded as part of the new application design. * New data sets will be added to BusinessDecision including expanded consumer expenditure data and expanded business and employee data. * The BusinessDecision interface will be updated and refreshed. * We are investigating the feasibility of quarterly data updates. We are excited about the upcoming changes and will provide more details on our migration schedule and data sources over the next few weeks. Best, Julie Peterson julie at civictechnologies.com 888-606-7600 p.s. I am sending this message to you, your library's primary BusinessDecision contact. Please forward the email to other staff that use BusinessDecision. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Frankly I've been extremely disappointed by what I?m reading about MI-ALA on several levels: Process ? MI-ALA indicates this issue has been around for the past 5+ years. An issue of this seriousness should have been brought forth at one of the association?s annual meetings; it was not. A special meeting of the membership is another option; I?m not aware of any attempts to call such a meeting. ? As a former member of the Restructuring Task Force that was formed after MLA nearly went bankrupt, as a past MLA president (2008-elect; 2009-president; 2010-past-president) who was heavily involved in the revision of the dues structure to ensure MLA?s long-term financial stability, I can assure you that there was good representation from the academic community during all of the discussions and decision-making. Ultimately our members voted to implement both of these major changes. ? I can also attest to the fact that the issues referenced by MI-ALA were never brought to my attention as MLA president. Collaboration ? The absence of many academic colleagues involved in MLA in the future could be a serious detriment to the Michigan library community. One simple example is MLA?s Leadership Academies, which over the years have created long-term networking and friendships between academic and public library professionals. ? I have personally found more opportunities to come to know and collaborate with my academic colleagues at the state level through MLA over the national level. Advocacy ? Advocacy is every library professional?s job, from page to director to dean, whether it?s legislative, administrative or in a social setting. ? Every library in Michigan has MLA to thank for MeL funding at the very least. Just 5 years ago the legislature went on a library funding cutting spree and we fought back (publics and academics) and have succeeded far beyond most people?s expectations. ? The current legislative power in Lansing is not based in East Lansing or Detroit. In many instances it comes from small communities in towns many of us have never heard of. While most of those communities don?t have an academic library, they most likely have a public library and a natural advocate that MLA can work with to influence a potentially powerful legislator. ? MI-ALA makes a brief reference to donating to MLA?s advocacy efforts. Advocacy is a full-time job, important in a crisis and even more important when there?s not a crisis and can?t be funded on a whim. ? If MI-ALA forms as a 501(C)(3) there could be serious limitations on how much may be contributed to advocacy. MLA Operations ? As the chair and a member of MLA?s Legislative Committee I?ve worked closely with Gail Madziar and found her to be extremely organized, professional and receptive of constructive feedback. We are lucky to have her as our Executive Director. ? I?m not familiar with the details surrounding the move of MLA?s offices, but this was an item that had been under discussion even when I worked with Gretchen Couraud as president back in 2009. This isn?t the first time the office has moved and I find the spinoff of MI-ALA to be a far more serious challenge to communication than separating the offices from MCLS. Last, I am very disappointed about the example MI-ALA leaders are setting to newer professionals about how to constructively resolve conflict. I encourage my academic colleagues to continue their support, membership and active involvement in MLA and to build on our success together.

Message-ID: <53AD7CD6.2050503@alpenalibrary.org> Has anyone hosted a program on tattoos and the history of tattooing? Tattoos are increasingly popular in our area and I'd like to explore a program which would incorporate a history of the practice in cultures like ancient Egypt and move right up into modern changes (tattoos becoming more mainstream and shifting to a broader demographic, etc). I could get some local tattoo artists to talk about the work they do and interesting tattoos they have created, and there are television programs, but I'm interested in a speaker who could address the historical and cultural roots of the practice as well. Recommendations? Similar programs? Please advise Christine Wedge -- Christine Wedge Library Development Coordinator Alpena County George N. Fletcher Public Library 211 N.

It's a very exciting time for E-Rate and changes to the E-Rate program may involve tech plans. Traditionally the Library of Michigan sees a rush of tech plans submitted for the following year (in this case 2015) in July and August of the current year, which is the earliest that we approve them. I'm going to encourage you to hold off on sending in a tech plan at this time for two reasons. First, we don't know if there will be changes to tech plan requirements vis a vis which products or services you are seeking a discount for. Currently, a technology plan is only required when you are seeking "Priority 2 Funding" (internal connections). Second, there's something I want to remind you about in particular this year: language in your goals and strategies section must specifically align to items on your Forms 470 (for instance: "We will improve infrastructure to support greater bandwidth" if you are applying for Priority 2 funding). It remains the case that libraries must have written their technology plan before filing their Form 470 and have it approved before they file Form 486 or before discounted services begin, whichever comes first.

We had thought that we'd show the Coexist Comedy Tour film here in the library, with a post-film discussion by the film makers, for a Coexitance Festival month planned for Muskegon in September. That's what we thought. We bought the film. Then we saw the film. Four different staff people and their spouses/friends -- different ages and genders and religious perspectives and cultures -- viewed it separately, at home. I'm the only one that made it to the end. I even saw all the extra material. It's just not a very good film on many levels -- the story telling being the main one. It's not the extensive use of the F-word -- by the Buddist no less -- or the un-funny Jew -- it just wasn't very good. Some sketches loosely strung together. We were really disappointed. I remember you saying you hadn't seen "Coexist" when I emailed you to get the film maker contact info. So -- thought you'd want to know. These might be great people, but having viewed their previous effort, I'll pass on this one.
