You need to upgrade the ILS, but you don't know where to start. Let me show you how to plan and execute this migration successfully based on how my library did it and the assistance I have provided to numerous other small libraries during their ILS migrations. I will cover the Selection, Preparation, Migration and Follow-up that has proven to be successful for my library and many others when migrating to a new ILS. * March 13 (3-4 pm) -- How to Get Media Coverage for Your Event (Infopeople) Join veteran newspaper, magazine and TV reporter Barbara Lewis to learn about the best ways to garner publicity for your event. She'll discuss Top 15 Tips on dealing with the media. * March 19 (3-4 pm) -- The Librarian as the Candidate; or How to Run Against Your Own Library and Win (San Jose State University) >From the president down to local races, voters are activated by candidates they "know," not platforms or policy statements. For library elections or funding advocacy, your work as a librarian makes you the best kind of candidate. In advocacy, we tend to talk to the public, to funders, and to voters about our institutions. We need to instead introduce you, the professional librarians, as change-agents in your communities who are worth the funding. * March 25 (2-3 pm) -- MeLCat Cataloging Workshop (MCLS) This full-day workshop is a "must have" for current and future MeLCat libraries. You will learn to catalog a number of formats with special emphasis on MeLCat standards to insure MeLCat participant records are successfully loaded into the statewide MeLCat catalog. Emphasis will be placed on the importance of data in the following fields which are part of the matching process MeLCat uses during record loading. If you have questions about a particular webinar, please contact the organization that is providing the information. There are links to all the organizations along with the listings. Also, be sure to note the location of the organization to make certain you are checking for the correct time zone. The items listed in the document are all in Eastern but when you visit an organizations site they may only list their local time. Most of these are recorded by the entity providing the webinar.

This series starts on Saturday, March 8, 2014 at 10:30am and is open to the public. Refreshments will be served, but we ask attendees to call the library in advance to register for each workshop date they are attending so we have a good count for the handouts that will be shared during each workshop. The series dates and information are as follows: * Saturday, March 8, 2014 at 10:30am--KEEPING UP WITH WHAT'S NEW IN GENEALOGY: Learn about websites and social media that will help you keep on top of the ever improving access to digital records coming online each year. * Saturday, April 4, 2014 at 10:30am--USING THE GENEALOGYBANK DATABASE: Find out how you can use the library's newest database subscription to search historical newspapers. You'll never know what you'll find-births, deaths, marriages, criminal activity! Newspapers are one of the best places to research family events and fill in the details of your ancestors' lives. * Saturday, May 3, 2014 at 10:30am--WHAT ARE GENEALOGY WEBINARS?: Researching your family history means you'll probably be exploring areas of the country or world you weren't expecting. Webinars are a great tool for learning more about your genealogy without having to leave your home. We will go over the basics on how to find and participate in them. * Saturday, June 14, 2014 at 10:30am--SEEKINGMICHIGAN.ORG: Find out more about your Michigan ancestors by using the collections available from the Library of Michigan and the Archives of Michigan. Collections include death certificates from 1897-1920, state census records from 1884-1894, plat maps and Civil War records. This is a not-to-be missed resource! Attendees are encouraged to bring any questions or "brick walls" you have encountered in your research to each session. There will be time for help with your personal quest to uncover your family history.

Posted: 05 Mar 2014 09:21 AM PST [Census Project Co-Director Terri Ann Lowenthal]By Terri Ann Lowenthal It?s appropriations season! Which wouldn?t merit a chuckle except, doesn?t it seem like appropriations season is year-round now? Maybe it?s just me. This gives me a chance to sound like a broken record ? not an enviable trait when I am trying to get your attention. But President Obama has unveiled his budget request for Fiscal Year 2015, and it is my solemn duty as an advocate of all things census to make visions of smartphone-friendly questionnaires, linked government databases and shrinking dollar signs dance in your head. The Obama Administration requested $1.211 billion dollars for the Census Bureau. That?s a tempting pot of gold for lawmakers looking to fund programs that constituents can see and touch. Research and testing for a statistical exercise five years away? Not so exciting. Still, the Census Bureau needs every penny of its request to keep 2020 Census planning on track and to maintain a robust, comprehensive and user-friendly American Community Survey (ACS). Let?s break this down, shall we? The FY2015 proposal is $266 million more than the current year discretionary appropriation of $945 million, a 28 percent increase. (The Census Bureau also receives roughly $30 million for two mandatory surveys.) All of the new money is for the Periodic Censuses and Programs account ($961M requested; +269M increase), which includes the 2020 Census and ongoing ACS ($689M requested; +226M increase). The window of opportunity for 2020 Census research and testing will close in 2015, when the Census Bureau must select a design framework (a decision already a year behind schedule) and begin the second phase of census planning: operational design and systems development. In a related new initiative, the president requested a bump in funding to build an enterprise-wide integrated system for data collection and processing (Data Processing Systems ? $65M requested; +34M increase). Sure would beat having unique systems for each survey and census, don?t you think? And the Census Bureau hopes to resume the Boundary and Annexation Survey, suspended this year due to budget cuts. The results come in handy when you want to put all of those enumerated people and houses in the right city, village or town. Remember congressional angst over the ACS that led to an embarrassing 2012 House vote to eliminate the survey (with no Plan B as to how the government would function without the data)? The Census Bureau must complete a well-timed, comprehensive review of ACS content and methods next year, ahead of a national field test in 2016 and submission of topics to Congress by April 1, 2017. The Census Bureau needs money for other programs that have been in congressional crosshairs. The 2012 Economic Census is almost history (FY2015 is the last of its six-year cycle), but as Blood, Sweat, and Tears once sang, what comes down must go up. Or something like that. Anyway, the end of one six-year quinquennial census cycle is the start of a new one; the $119 million request (+5M increase) will allow the Census Bureau to finish analyzing and disseminating 2012 Economic Census data and start planning for the 2017 canvass of American businesses. Finally, the president is proposing $248 million for the Census Bureau?s second major account, Salaries and Expenses (S&E), a decrease of $4 million from current year funding. The ongoing activities covered under S&E include vital economic, demographic and social statistics collected through the Current Population Survey, Survey of Income and Program Participation, and other programs. We?ll have more information about the Census Bureau?s plans for 2015 when the Commerce Department releases detailed budget justifications in a week or two. In the meantime, congressional appropriators are getting down to work. The deadline for submitting testimony to the House Committee on Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies is March 31; the Senate subcommittee deadline is April 25. Let?s see if we can make the foundation of our democracy and basis of informed decision-making sound as exciting as we know it is.

Anyway, besides just asking questions at the end and rewarding correct answers with candy, we were wondering if anyone else has had success making a similar presentation fun. If so, would you mind sharing how you made your presentation informative, but also entertaining?? The presentation will run between 30-40 minutes. Feel free to contact me off list.?

We'd like to have a mini PR showcase to gather and glean best practices for campaign materials. Specifically, I would love to collect any of the following that you may be willing to share: * Direct Mail pieces, * Brochures, flyers or handouts that were made available to the public at your library, * Outreach displays or materials made available about the library campaign during community events, * Social media campaign plans, and * Speakers' Bureau training materials, including staff and board members (talking points etc.). Please forward any documentation you'd be willing to share with us, by sending it to me electronically at hnagel at kdl.org. We are just looking for ideas/examples to share. Many of the people in attendance have not participated in an Informational Campaign before. We are hoping to derive at some best practices using the documentation we can collect. Of course, we will respect your original content and give due credit. I would be happy to summarize the results of our work session for michlib-l if there's interest.

Eligible CENIC Members now have the opportunity to purchase a diverse suite of Internet2 NET+ Services from leading brands at best-in-class pricing through Merit. CENIC, Merit and Internet2 made the announcement on the campus of Sonoma State University, host of CENIC's 2014 Annual Conference. This comes after Merit became the first Research and Education (R&E) Network to participate in the NET+ Regional Partner Program and offer Internet2 NET+ Services to its Members in Michigan. The Internet2 NET+ initiative is about creating and sustaining value for the research and educational community in their use of cloud services. By establishing a unified, integrated portfolio of cloud and trust solutions, blending both commercial services and community offerings, Internet2 makes these available via the advanced Internet2 Network. This allows Internet2 to support an individual to quickly and easily log into a cloud service using their campus's assigned identity using Internet2's Trust and Identity services. "This partnership serves as a great example for other regionals to work together to extend the Internet2 NET+ program to reach the entire non-profit research and education community," said Shelton Waggener, senior vice president, Internet2. "This arrangement with Merit and CENIC launches a new stage in furthering the vision of the Internet2 community transforming education from kindergarten to higher education." Through the NET+ Regional Partner Program, select Internet2 NET+ Services, which were previously only available to Internet2 member institutions, are now available to eligible members of participating NET+ Regional Partners, like Merit and CENIC. "I am proud to announce this innovative partnership between Merit, CENIC and Internet2. It will deliver considerable benefits for CENIC Members, providing access to a broad portfolio of cloud services available to their community at discounted rates. The participation of CENIC will benefit institutions in California and Michigan as well--and potentially many more R&E members nationwide. Leveraging economies of scale is critical to the success of initiatives like the NET+ Regional Partner Program. Merit has the existing infrastructure and resources in place to serve members of other R&E networks. We believe that the more members of the education and non-profit community we can help benefit from this program, the better off we will all be," said Don Welch, president and CEO, Merit Network. "We at CENIC are pleased and excited to be working with Merit to offer Internet2 NET+ Services to our Community Colleges and the K12 schools," said Louis Fox, president and CEO, CENIC. A key value Merit brings to the NET+ Regional Partner Program is its existing infrastructure devoted to IT services sales and support. An evolving process, Merit has participated in the development and deployment of services for its Membership for the better part of the past decade. Merit currently has technical and administrative resources internally to support deployment of Internet2 NET+ Services. The more organizations that are able to leverage those resources, the more cost-effective the program will be. The NET+ Services available through the Regional Partner Program support the teaching, learning, research and operational needs of CENIC and Merit Members. The following services are available today for CENIC and Merit Member educational institutions: [http://www.merit.edu/dynamic/images/internet2_partner_logos_01.jpg] These additional NET+ Internet2 services and targeted for future availability to CENIC Merit Members based on expressed interest include: * Splunk * Duracloud * Office 365 Education * Eduroam * BlueJeans * Globus The NET+ Initiative strives to ensure that all NET+ Services are easily accessible and simple to administer. This is secured through national partnerships with special business terms. Services are turnkey ready, with pre-negotiated SLAs (service level agreements) that save participating institutions administrative time and resources. With NET+ Services, institutions benefit from connections throughout the education and non-profit community for more efficient, effective solutions. Internet2 NET+ Services are identified, evaluated and vetted by Internet2 member institutions. Each service is backed by an advisory group made up of peer institutions that assist with service implementation, troubleshooting and provide ongoing support. CENIC Members interested in purchasing services through the Internet2 NET+ Regional Partner Program should contact a member of the Merit Sales Team.

Library Director-Ohio Township (IN) Public Library System Message-ID: <000601cf41d2$23fb67d0$6bf23770$@gossagesager.com> Library Director-Ohio Township Public Library System (IN) Welcome to our town-as the next director of the Ohio Township Public Library System. The Library Board of Trustees seeks a new leader to help continue and enhance the Library's successful role as a creative, cultural, and collaborative connection in the community. The Library director will work strategically with local organizations and agencies and be responsive to the needs and concerns of staff, patrons and the community. Ohio Township Public Library System is an independent district with a tax rate exclusively dedicated to public library service. Governed by a seven-member Board of Trustees, the Library staff of 50 serves the 37,749 citizens in Ohio Township with a $2 million dollar annual budget. The Library consists of the new Central Library, and two branch facilities: Chandler, located in the town of Chandler; and Newburgh, located in a 1984 building fronting the Ohio River. The challenge for the next director will be to forge strong community relationships and partnerships while leading a motivated staff to further serve the community effectively. Ohio Township, consisting primarily of the cities of Newburgh and Chandler, is located in southwest Indiana in Warrick County. Nestled against a bend in the Ohio River, this community has deep historical roots, small town charm, and a thriving waterfront. While home to interesting shops, quality dining, and local events and festivals, city amenities are also easily accessible - Indianapolis, Nashville, St. Louis and Louisville are all within a few hours' drive. With a quality public school system, the University of Evansville and University of Southern Indiana, Newburgh also hosts parks, trails, and golf courses. Several large corporations in the region, such as Alcoa, Tropicana Entertainment, Vigo Coal, Toyota, and Deaconess Health System, a low cost of living and a strong agricultural presence contribute to a high quality of life. For additional information, please visit Ohio Township Links . Responsibilities. The Director reports to a seven-member Library Board of Trustees and works with the Board, staff, and community stakeholders to establish the strategic vision for the Library aligning the Library's mission, goals and objectives with the community's needs and priorities. This is complex executive work which includes planning, directing, managing and overseeing the activities and operations of the library. The Director also works closely with the Board of Library Trustees, local government, and community agencies and organizations. Too, the Director ensures that local, state and federal laws, rules and regulations applicable to Indiana libraries and the by-laws, policies, and directives of the Library Board are being met. Qualifications. Minimum qualifications include an ALA-accredited Master's Degree in Library Science; the ability to obtain and retain an Indiana Librarian Certificate 2; and a minimum of three years of relevant library experience which includes supervision of staff. Essential attributes and skills include: vision, creativity, energy and enthusiasm; superior written and oral communications skills; demonstrated success in effectively promoting library services to the community; collaborative and consensus-building skills; experience in recruiting, mentoring, evaluating and retaining an excellent staff; and a thorough knowledge of current trends and "best practices" for library service. Successful experience as a library director reporting to a governing board is desirable. Compensation. The starting salary range is $62,000 to $74,000 (with placement dependent upon experience and qualifications) with an attractive benefits package. For further information contact Bradbury Associates/Gossage Sager Associates via email or telephone. To start the application process, send a meaningful cover letter and your resume as Word or pdf attachments via email to Karen Miller or Jobeth Bradbury on or before the closing date of March 23, 2014.

Marie to South Range." The article should say South Range, not South Ridge :( In the brief period between when the article ran, and the time I am typing these lines, two additional cultural partners have contacted me to make sure they could be included in the MAP program! You should feel free to share the information in the article with your local media outlets, cultural partners, funding officials, etc. Are the patrons at YOUR library ready to "Soar and Explore" with MAP? They will be when you add the www.michiganactivitypass.info link to your library's homepage. We will have much more to say about MAP in the coming weeks as we count down toward the May 24, 2014 debut of the expanded and enhanced Michigan Activity Pass program, Year 2! Thank you for your continued support of the MAP program.

Happened to Comics," presented by the Ypsilanti District Library. The event takes place Thursday, April 10 at Pease Auditorium and is expected to draw crowds from throughout southeast Michigan. As one of the most influential comics artists of our time, Art Spiegelman has taken comics off of the toy shelves and given them a prominent and growing place in literature. His seminal work, Maus, tells the story of his father's experiences as a holocaust survivor, depicting the Jews as mice and the Nazis as cats. Spiegelman has also worked extensively as an illustrator, created dozens of covers for The New Yorker, founded RAW magazine, and published several books including In the Shadow of No Towers, his reaction to the events of September 11. His multimedia talk will focus on the history of comics and how they influence society. He calls comics "the battlefield that great issues are battled on," and his insightful artwork and ability to discuss serious issues in graphic form have made him a legend in the worlds of both comics and literature. Spiegelman sign books after the presentation, and his books will be available for purchase courtesy of Nicola's Books in Ann Arbor. "Art Spiegelman's work appeals to so many people-comics fans, historians, kids who read Maus in school, and really anyone who loves art and literature. We are very proud to be able to bring him here" said Lori Coryell, Assistant Director of the Ypsilanti District Library. "Spiegelman himself says that 'comics are a gateway drug to literacy,' and we've seen that to be the case over and over again." This event is sponsored by Eastern Michigan University's Halle Library and the Friends of the Ypsilanti District Library. YDL works with the Friends and other community organizations to bring a major author to Ypsilanti each year. Mr. Spiegelman's visit also coincides with the library's spring theme: "Our Lives, Our Stories: The Greatest Generation." The spring season will feature a national traveling exhibit focused on the personal stories of members of the WWII generation, of which Maus is a poignant example. # # # Art Spiegelman's "What the %@$*!

The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), the primary federal funder of the nation?s 123,000 libraries, is launching a series of meetings to hear from a broad range of stakeholders about future IMLS funding strategies, particularly for the agency?s National Leadership Grant program. The kickoff event, to be held at the New York Public Library on April 29, will examine how IMLS can best support national digital initiatives. IMLS Deputy Director for Libraries Maura Marx will lead the series of nationally webcasted meetings with library leaders and other experts. IMLS invites broad participation via the webcasts and social media. Library professionals and the public are invited to view live webcasts of the meeting and to participate via Twitter at #imlsfocus. These interactive events will spotlight the importance of strong libraries to benefit all Americans and will explore three areas of funding that align with the agency?s three goals, supporting libraries? role in providing opportunities for lifelong learning, anchors for community engagement, and access to content. The agency is encouraging potential applicants to engage in and contribute to these discussions. In the summer, IMLS will release a revised National Leadership Grant application that will reflect the priorities identified during these meetings. IMLS intends to pivot its grant-making strategy to focus on a few specific library challenges with the purpose of making a more significant comprehensive impact in these areas. During the first meeting at the New York Public Library, participants will examine the ?hubs model? of content aggregation and consider areas for expansion. The day-long meeting will examine the state of video and e-book services, barriers to broad access, challenges and opportunities in digital curation and stewardship, innovation in ?hacking? the library, and digital literacy activities. The discussion will be framed with the goal of identifying concrete insights for funding, future research, and other tangible outcomes. The topics, locations, and dates for the three meetings follow.

University of Michigan professor Donald Lopez spent the past twelve years compiling the most authoritative and wide-ranging reference on Buddhism ever produced in English. Since the publication of "The Princeton Dictionary of Buddhism" last November, Lopez has raised $40,000 to make the book available free of charge to all community colleges, public high schools, and public libraries in Michigan. Approximately 1,000 copies will be distributed for the students and citizens of the state. With more than 5,000 alphabetical entries totaling over one million words, "The Princeton Dictionary of Buddhism" explains the key terms, doctrines, practices, texts, authors, deities, and schools of Buddhism across all of the six major canonical languages and traditions: Sanskrit, Pali, Tibetan, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. It also includes selected terms from Burmese, Khmer, Lao, Mongolian, Newar, Sinhalese, Thai, and Vietnamese. At over one million words and with over five thousand entries, it is the largest and most comprehensive dictionary of Buddhism ever published in a European language. Lopez is the Arthur E. Link Distinguished University Professor of Buddhist and Tibetan Studies and chair of the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures in U-M's College of Literature, Science, and the Arts. He co-authored the dictionary with Robert Buswell, Distinguished Professor of Buddhist Studies and director of the Center for Buddhist Studies at the University of California, Los Angeles. "Buddhism is one of the great religions of the world, with a vast geographical and chronological expanse," Lopez says. "It is also generating great interest in the United States. Robert Buswell and I wanted to produce a book that provided as much information about Buddhism as we could within the covers of a single book." Support for the distribution program is being provided by the Office of the President, the Dean of the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts, the Dean of the Rackham School of Graduate Studies, the International Institute, the Nam Center for Korean Studies, the Center for Chinese Studies, the Center for Japanese Studies, and the Center for Southeast Asian Studies. "As a faculty member at this great public university I feel a responsibility to offer the results of our scholarship to the people of the state of Michigan," Lopez says. "I am grateful to the offices and centers on campus who generously agreed to support this program." Librarians at Michigan community colleges, public high schools, and public libraries may order a copy by sending their name, mailing address, and phone number to the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures (ALC) at alc-buddhism at umich.edu.

[cid:image001.png at 01CF445B.9968AB00] March 12, 2014 Contact: Maryanne George, (734) 615-6514, mageorge at umich.edu Landmark Buddhist dictionary will be donated to Michigan's high schools, community colleges and public libraries ANN ARBOR? University of Michigan professor Donald Lopez spent the past twelve years compiling the most authoritative and wide-ranging reference on Buddhism ever produced in English. Since the publication of "The Princeton Dictionary of Buddhism" last November, Lopez has raised $40,000 to make the book available free of charge to all community colleges, public high schools, and public libraries in Michigan. Approximately 1,000 copies will be distributed for the students and citizens of the state. With more than 5,000 alphabetical entries totaling over one million words, "The Princeton Dictionary of Buddhism" explains the key terms, doctrines, practices, texts, authors, deities, and schools of Buddhism across all of the six major canonical languages and traditions: Sanskrit, Pali, Tibetan, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. It also includes selected terms from Burmese, Khmer, Lao, Mongolian, Newar, Sinhalese, Thai, and Vietnamese. At over one million words and with over five thousand entries, it is the largest and most comprehensive dictionary of Buddhism ever published in a European language. Lopez is the Arthur E. Link Distinguished University Professor of Buddhist and Tibetan Studies and chair of the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures in U-M's College of Literature, Science, and the Arts. He co-authored the dictionary with Robert Buswell, Distinguished Professor of Buddhist Studies and director of the Center for Buddhist Studies at the University of California, Los Angeles. "Buddhism is one of the great religions of the world, with a vast geographical and chronological expanse," Lopez says. "It is also generating great interest in the United States. Robert Buswell and I wanted to produce a book that provided as much information about Buddhism as we could within the covers of a single book." Support for the distribution program is being provided by the Office of the President, the Dean of the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts, the Dean of the Rackham School of Graduate Studies, the International Institute, the Nam Center for Korean Studies, the Center for Chinese Studies, the Center for Japanese Studies, and the Center for Southeast Asian Studies. "As a faculty member at this great public university I feel a responsibility to offer the results of our scholarship to the people of the state of Michigan," Lopez says. "I am grateful to the offices and centers on campus who generously agreed to support this program." Librarians at Michigan community colleges, public high schools, and public libraries may order a copy by sending their name, mailing address, and phone number to the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures (ALC) at alc-buddhism at umich.edu.

The press release is available by clicking this link: MAP Press Release: http://tln.lib.mi.us/map/Files/MAP%20Press%20Release%202014.pdf We have already received some good press coverage for the MAP program. The Detroit Free Press http://www.freep.com/article/20140316/NEWS05/303160064/Michigan-Activity-pass-program as well as the Lansing State Journal http://www.lansingstatejournal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2014303150044&nclick_check=1 and the Port Huron Times-Herald http://www.thetimesherald.com/article/20140320/NEWS01/303200018/Check-out-adventure-library?nclick_check=1 have all gotten on board with MAP. We are hoping that, with your help, media outlets in other markets all across Michigan will do so, too. We've gotten a fair number of MAP-related questions during the past couple of weeks. Here are some answers to the most common questions: 1. How does my library sign up for the MAP program? If you are a public library in Michigan, then you are already signed up for MAP! I have done my best to include every building and every branch of every Michigan public library (about 650 in total). I hope I haven't missed anybody. In the event I have you can help out in this regard, as per point 2 below. 2. What is the url for the Michigan Activity Pass program? www.michiganactivitypass.info This is the link to post to your homepage. Please search for your library name in the My Library Name field at the website. If you don't find it, or if you find it but would like to have the name of your library listed in a different way, please let me know. 3. What is the cost to my library to participate in the Michigan Activity Pass program? There is no cost! MAP is supported in part by the Library of Michigan with federal funds from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. The Library Network (TLN) also provides support of and funding for the MAP program. 4. Why am I not seeing the new cultural partners when I do a search on the MAP website? The new venues, including the Michigan Science Center, the Gilmore Car Museum and many others, will be added to the MAP website on May 24, 2014. But, don't forget that there are 62 cultural partners participating in the MAP program right now! 5. What should I do if I don't find my library when I do a search at the MAP website, per point number 2 above? Contact Jim Flury 6. What should I do if the search result for a cultural venue indicates "No passes available?" Contact Jim Flury 7. Whom should I contact if I or my patrons (or media outlets) have questions about the MAP program that I'm not sure how to answer? My contact information is listed below, as well as on the press release. My TLN colleague Brigette Felix can also answer any and all MAP related questions. Brigette's email is bfelix at tln.lib.mi.us We are in the process of making some upgrades and changes to the MAP website in advance of Year 2 go-live on May 24. Pursuant to that if you encounter any weirdness at all in the MAP website, please contact me. In the coming weeks we will be updating our MAP promotional material (bookmarks, postes, brochure) for 2014. We will be sure to share that material with you as soon as it is ready. Thank you for your support of the Michigan Activity Pass program. Let's make Year 2 of MAP an even bigger success!

If a library only files for E-Rate for Priority One services, such as "Telecommunications Services," including "Telephone Services" and "Internet Access," an updated technology plan does not need to be filed with the Library of Michigan. A Technology Plan does need to be written, submitted to the State Library, and approved before July 1, 2014 (if your technology plan will expire by then) for the period July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2017 if a library is filing for E-rate Priority Two services, which includes "Internal Connections" and "Basic Maintenance of Internal Connections" and the current approved Technology Plan. Technology Plans must be accompanied by a Technology Plan Cover Sheet available at: http://www.michigan.gov/erateforlibraries. Information about the required elements of a Technology Plan and additional information about the program can also be found at that Web address. If you are submitting a plan this year, please plan to email it to Sonya Schryer Norris at norriss2 at michigan.gov by Friday, May 9 to provide sufficient processing time at the Library of Michigan. Questions regarding how to complete the library's Technology Plan and the evaluation and approval process may be directed to Sonya Schryer Norris at norriss2 at michigan.gov or 1-877-479-0021.

She spoke at our library today and was wonderful! We only had 42 people attend (Saturday afternoon at 1...), but it seemed like every one of them thanked me afterward for bringing her to our library. She has such a command of an incredible amount of information on Margaret Mitchell, the writing of the book, the making of the movie, and behind-the-scenes info and she conveys it all in such an easy-to-listen-to, almost conversational, way. dkosh at msn.com Colleen Colleen Leddy, Director Stair Public Library 228 W.

Whether your organization is large or small, a school library or a public library, you can participate by creating events that are fun, engaging, and get your local community thinking differently about libraries.

Public libraries and their community partners supporting outreach, application, and enrollment efforts for patrons will have opportunities to share best practices and lessons learned with one another over the coming months. The resources below are intended to support that process. * The full, free archive is now available for Health Happens in Libraries: Prioritizing Patron and Partner Engagement. This session includes information on strategies and resources for patron and partner engagement from the initial open enrollment period, as well as information on ways that your organization can prioritize future planning for marketplace enrollment activities. * Many consumers newly enrolled in healthcare coverage may benefit from information on how to use it and maintain it most effectively. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) provides guidance for individuals for using insurance and supporting health, via the Roadmap to Better Care and a Healthier You. The Health Happens in Libraries team is interested in hearing from Michigan libraries. Do you have any lessons learned from the current enrollment period that we should incorporate in future communications? What questions do you have about planning for future open enrollment periods, or managing patron requests in the interim? Please let us know at the Library of Michigan or let the staff at WebJunction know your thoughts at any time via content at webjunction.org, or on Twitter by tagging #libs4health. Thank you for supporting health information in your communities! Shannon ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Shannon D. White Continuing Education Coordinator Library of Michigan 702 West Kalamazoo, P.O.
