My understanding of using ozone to deoderize books and other materials is that the treated books are entirely safe for people. The only concern is that this treatment will likely speed up the rate at which the organic material - paper, leather, etc. - decays. This won't likely be a concern for things you anticipate aren't going to be on your shelves for longer than 20 years, but it is something to be aware of.


As far as I'm aware there are no real strong alternatives for removing smoke odor. There are other techniques which will likely involve more time and energy which, although they don't pose the challenges of ozone, yield mixed results.?

Subject: [Michlib-l] Cleaning books from a smoke- and soot-damaged home

I'm hoping that someone out there has some advice we can pass along to a patron whose home caught fire recently. She has many books that were not damaged in the fire but do smell strongly of smoke, and the insurance company recommended that she have them cleaned using an ozone process. (I believe this is similar to how professional detailers remove smoke smells from cars.)

The patron is looking to donate the books after they've been cleaned but wants to make sure that this process isn't dangerous for those who would receive the books. Has anyone used ozone to clean books-- or know of a better/safer alternative method?

Thank you,

Jessica Schmidt

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
February 2, 2015

IMLS Press Contact
202-653-4799
Giuliana Bullard, gbullard at imls.gov<mailto:gbullard at imls.gov>

President?s FY 2016 Budget Request Includes $237,427,957
for the Institute of Museum and Library Services

Washington, DC?Today the President released his FY 2016 Budget Request to the U.S. Congress. The budget includes $237,427,957 for the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). With these funds, IMLS will provide leadership for the nation?s 123,000 libraries and 35,000 museums in all fifty states and U.S. territories through grant making, policy development, and research. The Congressional Justification, which contains detailed information on the Budget Request, is now available at http://www.imls.gov/assets/1/AssetManager/FY16_CJ.pdf<http://www.idevmail.net/link.aspx?l=1&d=73&mid=363882&m=2507> on the IMLS website, as well as the IMLS Budget table: http://www.imls.gov/assets/1/AssetManager/BudgetHistory_13-16.pdf<http://www.idevmail.net/link.aspx?l=2&d=73&mid=363882&m=2507>

The President requests a $9.6 million increase over the FY 2015 enacted level, of which $8.8 million supports a national digital platform, which will be funded through the IMLS National Leadership Grant programs for Libraries ($5.3 million) and Museums ($3.5 million). The agency will focus the additional resources on promoting development of new standards for continuing education for library and museum professionals.

?We are proud of the contributions of IMLS and believe there is a federal responsibility to ensure all Americans have access to the nation?s libraries and museums regardless of geographic, economic, or physical barriers,? said IMLS Acting Director Maura Marx. ?During fiscal year 2016, IMLS will help advance a range of museum and library services, with a special focus on expanding a National Digital Platform for Library and Museum Services and continuing education and training for library and museum professionals.?

IMLS grant programs support library services in every state and territory through a population-based formula grant. The agency also administers competitive grant programs for libraries and museums that engage hundreds of library, museum, education, and technology professionals in a rigorous peer review process to identify well-designed projects. IMLS supports projects that strengthen library and museum services for Native Americans and Native Hawaiians, as well as projects that strengthen African American museums.

A presidentially appointed board, the National Museum and Library Services Board, advises the director on policy development and on the selection of recipients of the prestigious National Medal for Museum and Library Services that is awarded annually to five museums and five libraries that are making exceptional contributions to their communities.

IMLS supports all types of libraries, including public, academic, school, tribal, and research; and all types of museums, including botanic gardens, aquariums, and zoos, as well as art, history, science, children?s, and tribal museums.

IMLS will focus funding on its strategic goals that include the following:

  *   Learning: Placing the learner at the center by supporting engaging learning experiences that prepare people to be full participants in their local communities and our global society
  *   Community: Promoting libraries and museums as strong community anchors that enhance civic engagement, cultural opportunities, and economic vitality
  *   Content: Supporting exemplary stewardship of museum and library collections and promoting the use of technology to facilitate discovery of knowledge and cultural heritage

Special Focus
Within the requested amount and within existing programs, IMLS will focus on two strategic areas in the FY 2016 budget.

  *   National Digital Platform for Library and Museum Services: IMLS promotes the use of technology to expand access to the holdings of museums, libraries, and archives. IMLS will increase its support for expanding access by funding the national digital platform and in particular, state and regional service hubs that help libraries, museums, and archives with digital content and services. The work gives more Americans free and electronic access to resources of libraries, archives, and museums.
  *   Continuing Education for Library and Museum Professionals: Libraries, museums, and archives play essential roles in ensuring access to information for everyone. IMLS will emphasize skills-based learning through programs that support professional and 21st-century skill development. IMLS will fund efforts to create a Maker Framework for museums and libraries and identify ways to encourage makerspaces in museums and libraries. IMLS will also support the professional education of librarians and museum professionals.

Message-ID: <CAELK9Sp2yWqKhxzbPgLkFXv6ZpvnJUfV+tH_d476WjEqsnM9VA@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all;

I've managed to open up a very small pocket in my book budget to begin
adding teen-level manga to our collection.  I can only add 2-3 titles per
month so I need to start with some series that are fairly new (maybe only a
few volumes in print so far).  I have no clue what series to consider.

Any suggestions?  Any advice will be welcomed!

Thanks,

	programs
Message-ID: <54D27543.70705@romeodistrictlibrary.org>

I just wanted to send out a recommendation for a presenter:
Ms. Regina Stinson, founder of the Ribston-Pippins 
(http://www.ribston-pippins.com) and Sherlock Holmes enthusiast. She 
does presentations on the history/popularity of Holmes as well as the 
character's depictions in film (separate presentations), including BBC's 
noted "Sherlock" and CBS' own "Elementary."  I have hosted her for both 
here at the Romeo District Library and would recommend her for other 
libraries, as the audiences have given her positive feedback across the 
board.

For more information, she can be contacted by email at 
Ribpip715 at aol.com.  Please let me know, also, if you have additional 
questions.

Sincerely,
Dominic McLaughlin

We received a donation recently that has some books on Armenia as well as some which are written in what I assume to be Armenian.

Is there a library out there who would/could use these in their collection?  I can provide the names of those which are about Armenia.

Please let me know if you would like them and I will send them to you via RIDES.

Ann,

I?ve heard of them and have not heard of complaints, but have not done business with them. http://www.ocisales.com/

Here is an archived email from the State Librarian in Ohio from 2013 about the company.  http://lists.oplin.org/pipermail/oplinlist/2013-August/013201.html

Here is some other information from a Genealogy listserv about OCI. http://mailman.acomp.usf.edu/pipermail/genealib/2013-July/021257.html

You can find a number of libraries that have used them by doing an internet search. That should allow you to make some direct contacts if you wish to find out more about others experience.

different job skills in the computer operations field.

We received a donation recently that has some books on Armenia as well as some which are written in what I assume to be Armenian.
 
Is there a library out there who would/could use these in their collection?  I can provide the names of those which are about Armenia.
 
Please let me know if you would like them and I will send them to you via RIDES.

Subject: [Michlib-l] E-Rate Update: New Support Services Now in Place for MI
	Libraries
Message-ID: <CY1PR09MB063332D6FA4A0BE98C7847ADFE3B0@CY1PR09MB0633.namprd09.prod.outlook.com>

Greetings Michigan libraries,



The Library of Michigan is under a new contract for E-Rate support for Michigan libraries. The new consulting model will provide all Michigan libraries access to the same E-Rate support services currently available to Michigan public schools. Those services are outlined in detail below. I will continue to do some marketing to Michlib-l and library directors but I'll save the nitty gritty details of E-Rate support information, including distribution of a weekly, Michigan-specific newsletter from E-Rate Central, for a new list. This list is open and anyone can subscribe. If you or someone at your library would like to subscribe, please go here: https://public.govdelivery.com/accounts/MILOM/subscriber/topics. Your E-Rate consultant is also welcome to join.



The new contract for E-Rate support is through the Technology Readiness Infrastructure Grant (TRIG) E-Rate activity via the Michigan Department of Education. TRIG has hired E-Rate Central as the primary providers of support and we will now have their resources behind us.



Our contract with Linda Schatz of EdTech Strategies, through which individual libraries receive support via their co-op directors, will be in place until March 31, 2015.



Here are some things you can count on now:

Help Desk

* This email address should be used as a go-to help desk for critical E-Rate questions: eratesupport at 22itrig.org<mailto:eratesupport at 22itrig.org>.



PIA Support

During the E-Rate PIA process, E-Rate Central is available to assist the applicant (library personnel or the library's E-Rate consultant) with:

* clarification should you not understand what PIA is requesting

* guidance regarding a delay or complication with the PIA process or a PIA reviewer

* assistance in the event your application funding is at risk

Please follow this guidance whenever dealing with PIA:

* Attempt to provide all responses to PIA clearly and concisely in writing (via email) with as little elaboration as necessary to answer PIA's specific question(s)

* Use caution when speaking with a PIA reviewer as both what you say may negatively impact your application

* Notify PIA and request an extension in writing if you are unable to provide a complete response in the time PIA has allotted

Please use the help desk email to contact E-Rate Central for PIA issues:eratesupport at 22itrig.org.



Webinars

We are currently in the middle of a four webinar set about the changes to E-Rate and the Form 471. You can view the ones that have already taken place and we hope you will but even more importantly, please respond to E-Rate Central's surveys about what you want to hear about regarding the Form 471<http://22itrig.org/activities/activity-one-a/e-rate-20/webinars/>. The webinars will be based on your feedback.



Weekly E-Rate Newsletter with Michigan-Specific Information

* Will be sent out on this listserv. The feedback of the library community is specifically requested to help make this newsletter what we need it to be.

Online Bid Evaluation System

* As a goal of the TRIG E-rate Activity, (to simplify and assure the competitive bidding process rules are followed), we are working to meet the needs of the E-rate applicants in the State of Michigan. In addition, we have constructed this tool to facilitate applicant use of our statewide RFP bid efforts, particularly in regards to Internet Access and broadband connectivity.

* These bid results are available automatically as bids to be evaluated when the the E-rate Statewide Form 470 is selected within the tool. This will reduce the effort of the applicant to include these bid results in the local vendor selection process.

* Includes short, easy-to-understand videos of how the system works.



Statewide Bids That My Library Can Take Advantage Of

* Looking for statewide bids that have already been conducted and you can simply buy off of and receive your E-Rate discount? Yes, we have those, too.



Website for E-Rate Reference Materials

* This website can be accessed for all program support materials: http://22itrig.org/activities/activity-one-a/

Yes, but it hints at potential changes.  I'm told the companies wanting 
to slow down users, probably including libraries since their budgets 
would be hard hit, will try first for amendment and, if that doesn't 
work, court battles.

	Map workshop
Message-ID: <OF8055711B.405A96C2-ON85257DE4.005DDDD4-85257DE4.005DE687@mcls.org>

It is your last chance to register for the Make Your Own Map: Exploring 
Geographic Information Science (GIS) for Librarians workshop that will be 
held online on Tuesday, February 17, from 2 - 4 PM. The deadline to 
register is Wednesday, February 11.

With the escalation of online GIS mapping applications (demographic and 
business databases for example), it is becoming increasingly important for 
librarians to understand and be proficient with these tools to best serve 
our patrons and conduct research. Learn several different ways of making 
maps and utilizing these resources using both free websites and databases. 
Participants will upload a list of addresses to create a point map and 
will shade in areas of interest to create a simple reference map.

Library users increasing want digital data in a geospatial format usable 
by GIS programs.  Your patrons may not realize that the library offers a 
variety of data sources.  This workshop will show several sources for 
GIS-friendly data and also introduce QGIS, an open source GIS program.

The cost for this workshop is $59 for MCLS members and $119 for non-MCLS 
members. Group viewing rates are also available if you have multiple staff 
at your library that would like to view together. 

For more information and to register, go to:

Message-ID: <4312D7D41F13B34E93CC2E968BDF34358F8176F15C@Exch0.crdl.org>

Hello all, I have an idea that I'd like to throw out there for a possible MLA Annual proposal. Are there any selectors from small to mid-sized libraries interested in having a roundtable discussion about how they do collection development for Adult Graphic Novels? With emphasis on keeping track of all of the various Superhero books with their crossovers, reboots, and whatnot? I thought we could talk about our different strategies, particularly if we aren't just putting them all on standing order.

ADDITIONALLY: Are there any catalogers out there who would like a different roundtable discussion at MLA Annual about cataloging strategies for Superhero books?

If you're interested, get at me! Thanks!!!

USCIS-IMLS Present Webinar for Public Librarians on Human Trafficking Prevention

Washington, DC?As part of their partnership to provide resources for public librarians, the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will present a webinar on Human Trafficking Prevention and the Blue Campaign<http://www.idevmail.net/link.aspx?l=1&d=73&mid=363882&m=2519> on February 23. Representatives from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Blue Campaign and USCIS will discuss the resources and tools available to help combat human trafficking that librarians can help distribute in their communities.

Human trafficking occurs when criminals and criminal organizations lure victims into involuntary labor and commercial sex trafficking and then exploit them for pure profit. Even in its simplest form, human trafficking is a brutal crime that causes immense suffering and can end in the victim?s death.

The Blue Campaign<http://www.idevmail.net/link.aspx?l=2&d=73&mid=363882&m=2519> is a Department of Homeland Security unified anti-human trafficking campaign in which various components coordinate and unite efforts to raise awareness and combat human trafficking while providing victim assistance. Every year, DHS initiates hundreds of investigations, makes arrests, and uses the T and U visas to protect victims. USCIS officers work to adjudicate these visa cases that enable victims to stay in the United States. USCIS also educates the public and state and local law enforcement on how to identify victims of human trafficking and report the crime.

Under the National Museum of African American History and Culture Act of 2003, IMLS is authorized to engage in cooperative efforts to promote the understanding of modern day practices of slavery throughout the world.

Visit the Blue Campaign website<http://www.idevmail.net/link.aspx?l=3&d=73&mid=363882&m=2519> to learn about how to identify victims<http://www.idevmail.net/link.aspx?l=4&d=73&mid=363882&m=2519>, how you can join the fight<http://www.idevmail.net/link.aspx?l=5&d=73&mid=363882&m=2519>, and how USCIS and DHS are already combatting this terrible crime<http://www.idevmail.net/link.aspx?l=6&d=73&mid=363882&m=2519>.

Message-ID: <32F04D63B66C4546A1D0B6DC909765A561EDEBC586@HUSKY>

Hello out there in Library Land,

Some librarian friends of mine are putting together an incredible Radical Librarianship track for the 2015 Allied Media Conference, which is "a collaborative laboratory of media-based organizing strategies for transforming our world, held every Summer in Detroit."

Think you might have something you want to contribute to what will probably be a very fun, exciting, and enlightening track? Think you might be interested in attending? Check out this description! Contact info is at the bottom. Also, here's a link to a website with this info too:

https://www.alliedmedia.org/amc/radical-librarianship-track




Radical Librarianship

Libraries are not only collections of print and digital media, but also spaces for critical engagement with information, creative and collaborative work, and preservation of community memory.

The Radical Librarianship Track invites participants to go beyond the traditional understanding of the function of libraries. We will explore the ways that libraries can provide innovative services which facilitate the development of ideas and practices for strong communities. Participants will develop strategies for effectively organizing information, media resources, and library spaces to be more accessible to their communities.

The Radical Librarianship track seeks proposals for presentations, panel discussions, and hands-on workshops to be held at the Allied Media Conference on June 18-21, 2015 in Detroit. We are looking for presenters and facilitators who have developed innovative, progressive, and radical programs both inside and outside the traditional library setting
We are especially interested in sessions that:

 *   Challenge traditional library structures, institutions, and organizations.
 *   Discuss tailoring library services to underserved populations.
 *   Explore how libraries can serve as hubs for civic engagement.
 *   Highlight how to provide services to a community without imposing outsider values and norms.
 *   Discuss helping library users transform from consumer to creator.
 *   Offer strategies for libraries sustaining communities in crisis.
 *   Examine new ways libraries can support community education.
 *   Engage participants in developing best practices for grassroots, alternative and DIY libraries or archives.
 *   Connect with other Tracks, Practice Spaces, and Network Gatherings at AMC2015.
Beyond the themes outlined above, if the idea of Radical Librarianship resonates with you, we want to hear about the work you're doing!

Deadline for submissions: Tuesday, March 2nd, 2015

This track is coordinated by Andrea Perez, Westland Public Library; Katie Dover-Taylor, Westland Public Library; Rachel Thompson, Seraphine Collective

To submit your proposal online, please fill out this form:

Hi-
I know this has been spoken of before, but, I am beginning to feel  
really guilty having toys out for children to play with in our  
department.  I spray them with Lysol constantly and wash them in  
diluted bleach as much as possible, which is not that often, I admit.   
Is there anything else anyone is doing?  The kids love them and I  
don't want to take them away.  I feel there must be a better solution;  
but, I am not finding it.  Thanks!!

I feel your pain!! (And I also appreciate the reminder to clean / sanitize our toys... completely missed my radar!)
 
We have several Fisher Price toys - house / barn / garage - that are stored on top of the shelves in our kids' room. I tried to put them away, to clean up some of the clutter, but it only took one little girl coming in and asking for them before I had to put them out again!
 
Oh, well! ?

Message-ID: <7c171fc8af9ee3a713c99b6e1fd5db57@libcoop.net>

Hello,


Flash fiction is a very short form of writing?usually between 400-1000 
words.  The writer?s challenge is to tell a story in very few 
well-chosen words that will attract and intrigue the reader.  Flash 
fiction is uniquely suited to internet posting.  Author, instructor and 
writing consultant, Gloria Nixon-John, will present a workshop at the 
Warren Civic Center in this exciting form of writing on Saturday, March 
28th from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm.

I am attaching our flyer for the event in case you would like to print 
some for your patrons.

If you have any questions or need additional information, please let me 
know.

Thank you.

Subject: Under the Radar Michigan Book and DVD Bulk Purchase Opportunity and New MAP Partnership, Too!

All,

I am pleased to announce that TLN has entered into a new partnership with Tom Daldin and Jim Edelman of the Emmy Award winning PBS show Under The Radar Michigan and Scribe Publishing Company http://utrmichigan.com/ They probably need no introduction to the Michigan library community, but here is what the director of one TLN library had to say about UTR:

"We hosted the Under the Radar guys and it was fabulous. Tom Daldin and Jim Edelman from UTR accomplished something that doesn't happen often: they made us laugh over and over * and * reminded us how great Michiganders are. UTR isn't about "the best of the best" it's about the unique towns, festivals and travel opportunities there are in our state. It really boils down to the people behind these destinations. The coolest thing is that Tom and Jim are a Michigan success story themselves. They both found themselves out of work during the recession. They knew each other as fellow media professionals, so they put their heads together and started pitching ideas to PBS. Their book sales were brisk (we're hoping there can be a group discounted buy, maybe, for public libraries in Michigan?). At least four of our guests (full-house) said it was the best program they'd ever attended! Don't you want to have them, too?"

As part of our partnership Tom and Jim are offering Michigan libraries a discounted purchase opportunity for their book Under the Radar: Michigan http://scribe-publishing-company.myshopify.com/products/utr as well as the four dvd set of their show. Michigan libraries can purchase the book for just $16.00. List price is $24.95. Michigan libraries can purchase the complete four dvd set of the show for just $90.00. List price is $120.00. TLN will place one consolidated order, ship to your library, pay the vendor invoice, then bill your library. 

Please email your order(s) for the book and/or dvd set to me by no later than Friday, February 13. In order to facilitate the distribution process here, we ask that non-TLN libraries also include their RIDES delivery number with their order.

The other aspect of this new partnership concerns promotion by UTR of the Michigan Activity Pass (MAP) program. Both Tom and Jim are media professionals. Their UTR Facebook https://www.facebook.com/UTRMichigan page has in excess of 45,000 likes. Their willingness to include MAP in their social media presence will be a huge boost to the promotional aspect of the program. To wit, here is what UTR has agreed to do, promotion-wise, with and for the MAP program:

** Support MAP communication efforts via their Social Media world
** Include a minimum of 1 post per month profiling events, press, news, etc that are part of MAP communication efforts
** Provide MAP with an ad presence for one year on the utrmichigan.com (Size: 90x120)
** UTR will include MAP events or news in its monthly newsletter, once per quarter.

That is a lot of promotion, and it sounds like a lot of work, too! I think libraries are getting the easier end of the deal here :)

Again, please send your orders for the UTR: Michigan book and/or four dvd set to my attention by no later than Friday, February 13. And don't forget to include that RIDES delivery number!

Thanks.

Jim

Hunger Doesn't Take a Summer Vacation

More Partners Needed to Make a Real Difference

 in the Lives of Hundreds of Thousands of Hungry Michigan Children



February 6, 2015



The Michigan Department of Education (MDE) is looking for community partners, sponsors, and potential site locations to participate in Michigan's Summer Meet Up and Eat Up(tm) initiative and run summer food programs to prevent more than a half million children in Michigan from going hungry when school lunchrooms close for the summer.



The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) could fill the summer hunger gap for hundreds of thousands of children if there is an increase in community awareness, local government involvement, sponsors to run the program, and sites to serve meals.  Last year, out of the 563,000 low-income Michigan children who received meals during the school year, just more than 98,000 (17.5%) were able to eat free meals or snacks at approved summer meal sites in their neighborhoods.



In stressing the importance of sponsoring these crucial summer food programs for children, State Superintendent Mike Flanagan said:  "Many families across Michigan are struggling, and we can't have children going hungry in the summer when programs like this are available.  I am calling on schools, churches, and local government and civic organizations to step up and have a positive impact on the lives and health of children in their community by supporting the Summer Food Service Program."



Research shows a direct relationship between good nutrition and learning.  Meet Up and Eat Up is a key building block in Michigan communities to develop healthy, happy kids who are ready to learn.



"There is a desperate need and the food is available," Flanagan said. "We just need more awareness of the program's availability, more community members to get involved, and additional locations around the state to serve children."



Sponsors receive federal payments for both the meals served to children and the administrative costs of serving the meals.  New sponsors will receive free training and technical assistance from MDE.



The Summer Food Service Program serves nutritious meals to children up to age 18 living in low-income areas (where 50 percent or more of the students qualify for free or reduced price school meals).  The program can operate in schools, public housing centers, playgrounds, camps, parks, and faith-based facilities.



Sponsors can be public school districts or nonprofit private schools; public or private nonprofit residential summer camps; local, county or state government agencies; colleges or universities; or private nonprofit organizations.



If you are interested in more information about how you can help feed your community this summer, please contact MDE by March 1, 2015.  Program information may be obtained from MDE's Office of School Support Services, Summer Food Service Program, 608 West Allegan Street, P.O. Box 30008, Lansing, Michigan 48909, (517) 373-3347; or on the MDE website at www.michigan.gov/sfsp<http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTUwMjA2LjQxMjY3MzkxJm1lc3NhZ2VpZD1NREItUFJELUJVTC0yMDE1MDIwNi40MTI2NzM5MSZkYXRhYmFzZWlkPTEwMDEmc2VyaWFsPTE3Mzc4MDAzJmVtYWlsaWQ9cmVpc2hrQG1pY2hpZ2FuLmdvdiZ1c2VyaWQ9cmVpc2hrQG1pY2hpZ2FuLmdvdiZmbD0mZXh0cmE9TXVsdGl2YXJpYXRlSWQ9JiYm&&&100&&&http://www.michigan.gov/sfsp>.



The Summer Food Service Program, administered by MDE through funds from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is available to children 18 and under regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability.

Subject: [Michlib-l] Friday is MAP Day: 253 (maybe more!) New and Cool MAP
 Destinations Coming on May 24, 2015
In-Reply-To: <466298480.8717610.1422025547504.JavaMail.root@tln.lib.mi.us>
Message-ID: <496378276.11185195.1423247423738.JavaMail.root@tln.lib.mi.us>

All,

Those of a certain age (like me) will recall a time when "Wednesday is (pasta by a certain manufacturer) day." Indeed a restaurant near where we live maintains that tradition with what it calls "Warehouse Wednesdays", on which their spaghetti which normally sells for $10.99, costs only $5.99. It is a great place to have dinner before walking to the nearby baseball stadium to watch the most famous team in minor league baseball history take the field. If they can have Wednesday as spaghetti day, I am ready to declare "Friday is MAP Day!" Who's with me here???

But I digress. Today we are proud and pleased to announce that effective May 24, 2015 a total of 253 new venues (maybe more!) will be available in the MAP program. Assuming each and every one of our current 112 partner venues chooses to renew with MAP for next year (and why wouldn't they!?), that means 365 destinations! That's one destination for every day of the year! I sense a new marketing slogan here! Maybe we can pick up one additional destination so as to cover the coming leap year...

What do I mean by "maybe more?" Well, I've yet to begin the drive to recruit additional venues for MAP for next year. So perhaps we can expand beyond 365, and the leap year 366, and to who knows where. Along those lines, if you have potential MAP partner venues in your library's service area, please reach out to them to explain the benefits the program can bring. Or provide me with their contact information, and I would be glad to do so.

If you've looked at the http://michiganactivitypass.info site recently, and I know you all have, you will see that there are a total of 123 venues included. 112 of these are current partners, and 11 are the state historic sites that will be available on May 24. The "map within MAP" is nicely filling up with green balloons. While we are still a bit sparse in some parts of the state, ie the far western U.P., the I-75 corridor in the northern L.P. as well as the far southwestern corner of same, you will see those areas populated with green balloons, too once we begin the data entry process of the additional 253 venues. We are also looking at a revamp of the user software, so that beginning May 24 library patrons will be given a choice as to what type of venue they would like to search for, ie campground, art museum, performing arts venue, etc.

Good stuff!

Thank you for your promotion of and participation in, the Michigan Activity Pass program.

Sincerely,

Jim Flury

Hello! I've been trying to plan a Frozen party for sometime in March, but
so far all of my leads for princess performers have been unresponsive.
Anyone have any contacts they'd like to share? Thanks!

Subject: [Michlib-l] System Director,
	Northeast KS Library System-Applications Close this week-February
	15 2015!
Message-ID: <019c01d04489$91498ff0$b3dcafd0$@gossagesager.com>

System Director - Northeast Kansas Library System 

Lead an innovative and accomplished Kansas library system, continuing
outstanding levels of service and effective resource sharing. The Executive
Board of the Northeast Kansas Library System <http://www.nekls.org/>
(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
<http://www.lawrenceks.org/>  (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
<http://www.gossagesager.com/neklslinks.htm> .

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
<http://www.gossagesager.com/NEKLSjobdesc.pdf> .

Qualifications. Minimum qualifications are an ALA-accredited Master's Degree
in Library Science and five years of progressively responsible
administrative experience. 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.

Hey Michigan Library friends ? 



I wanted to pass along this programming idea if you were interested, we had 

Jeff out at Main and a couple branches (as well as a Skype program) last week and he was great. 

Very informative and entertaining. 

You may recognize him from having been a consultant on the Today Show , as well as the 

TLC show Extreme Cheapskates ? and, well, you?ve probably bought his books. 

He?s quite polished (from TV spots and tons of presentations/workshops), so he?s minimal production 

and can adapt to whatever format/theme you have in mind. 

He does work for an honorarium, but he?s flexible and easy to work with. 

He?ll be in the area, so send him an email ( ultcheapskate at aol.com ) if you?re interested. 



See links below ? and feel free to pass along to others ? I?ve also included our flyer, so you see how we marketed him.

Is it legal for our library to use patron data to send a newsletter,

don't request permission on our library application.

I've read through the Michigan Library Laws Handbook, but I'm still unsure.

Subject: [All-Circ] Friday is MAP Day: 253 (maybe more!) New and Cool MAP Destinations Coming on May 24, 2015

All,

Those of a certain age (like me) will recall a time when "Wednesday is (pasta by a certain manufacturer) day." Indeed a restaurant near where we live maintains that tradition with what it calls "Warehouse Wednesdays", on which their spaghetti which normally sells for $10.99, costs only $5.99. It is a great place to have dinner before walking to the nearby baseball stadium to watch the most famous team in minor league baseball history take the field. If they can have Wednesday as spaghetti day, I am ready to declare "Friday is MAP Day!" Who's with me here???

But I digress. Today we are proud and pleased to announce that effective May 24, 2015 a total of 253 new venues (maybe more!) will be available in the MAP program. Assuming each and every one of our current 112 partner venues chooses to renew with MAP for next year (and why wouldn't they!?), that means 365 destinations! That's one destination for every day of the year! I sense a new marketing slogan here! Maybe we can pick up one additional destination so as to cover the coming leap year...

What do I mean by "maybe more?" Well, I've yet to begin the drive to recruit additional venues for MAP for next year. So perhaps we can expand beyond 365, and the leap year 366, and to who knows where. Along those lines, if you have potential MAP partner venues in your library's service area, please reach out to them to explain the benefits the program can bring. Or provide me with their contact information, and I would be glad to do so.

If you've looked at the http://michiganactivitypass.info site recently, and I know you all have, you will see that there are a total of 123 venues included. 112 of these are current partners, and 11 are the state historic sites that will be available on May 24. The "map within MAP" is nicely filling up with green balloons. While we are still a bit sparse in some parts of the state, ie the far western U.P., the I-75 corridor in the northern L.P. as well as the far southwestern corner of same, you will see those areas populated with green balloons, too once we begin the data entry process of the additional 253 venues. We are also looking at a revamp of the user software, so that beginning May 24 library patrons will be given a choice as to what type of venue they would like to search for, ie campground, art museum, performing arts venue, etc.

Good stuff!

Thank you for your promotion of and participation in, the Michigan Activity Pass program.

Sincerely,

Jim Flury

Greetings,

For those interested in evening of intriguing and attractive books, Michigan State University Libraries is hosting book artist Karen Hanmer on Monday, February 16, 2015 * 7:00-9:00 p.m.

Main Library North Conference Room, W449

Karen Hanmer's work weaves together themes of history, technology, personal and cultural memory, and the landscape of the American Midwest. Her studio practice is unusually varied, including design binding, small editions of artists' books, larger editions of inexpensive multiples, and installation. Hanmer will present an overview of her work followed an opportunity to examine a few of her books held in MSU Libraries' Special Collections.

Karen Hanmer's artist-made books are physical manifestations of personal essays intertwining history, culture, politics, science and technology. She utilizes both traditional and contemporary book structures, and the work is often playful in content or format. Hanmer exhibits internationally, and her work is included in collections ranging from The Getty Museum and the Library of Congress to Michigan State University and Graceland. She is a leader in the book arts community, having served on the editorial board of The Bonefolder, as Exhibitions Chair for the Guild of Book Workers, and as frequent exhibition curator and juror. She offers workshops and private instruction focusing on a solid foundation in basic binding skills.

See more of her work at www.karenhanmer.com<http://www.karenhanmer.com>

Subject: [Michlib-l] ALA Survey for members and Non-members
Message-ID: <A3904E30EF6A0E4CA68A9587F4274EB4F50678EFA5@hexsrv1.saginawlibrary.org>

Please consider taking a few minutes to read the message below and participate in the survey if you wish.


The ALA Task Force on Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion was created in the spring of 2014 by then ALA President Barbara Stripling.

The Task Force is currently in the information-gathering phase.

https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/tfedi1web

To aid with information gathering, it has launched a series of short surveys to be conducted at times to coincide with the ALA Midwinter Meetings and Annual Conferences through 2016. These surveys are designed to help understand the culture of the association, the profession and our communities with respect to equity, diversity and inclusion.

The first survey presents the definitions created by the task force - equity, diversity, and inclusion - and asks individuals to consider ALA's current alignment with those definitions.

The survey can be accessed at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/tfedi1web. Responses will be collected through Feb. 16, 2015. ALA members and nonmembers are encouraged to participate.

The final, analyzed results of the survey will be reported by April 2015 via the Task Force's ALA Connect community and distributed through various ALA channels.

Please take a few minutes to answer the survey, which should take no more than seven minutes to complete.

"Embracing and celebrating diversity and creating a more inclusive profession have been long-standing goals of the American Library Association. With your help, we hope to ensure these values are upheld," said Task Force co-Chairs Trevor A. Dawes and Martin L. Garnar.

The ALA Task Force on Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion's charge is to develop a plan and strategic actions to build more equity, diversity and inclusion among our members, the field of librarianship and our communities. The most important Task Force outcome is the public and honest conversation that generated by its plan and recommended actions. The final Task Force report will include recommendations for ensuring that a continuing focus on equity, diversity and inclusion is embedded throughout the ALA organization.

Subject: [Michlib-l] New MLIS Student Scholarships at Wayne State's School
 of Library & Information Science
Message-ID: <1340607007.57436962.1423585690614.JavaMail.root@wayne.edu>

The School of Library and Information Science at Wayne State University is pleased to announce a number of scholarships opportunities for new MLIS students for Spring Summer 2015 and Fall 2015. For full information and application requirements and deadlines, please see: http://slis.wayne.edu/admissions/new_student_scholarships.php 


Judith J. Field Scholarship 
The Judith J. Field Scholarship is a $6500 tuition scholarship for an incoming MLIS student. This special scholarship is generously funded by Judith J. Field, a long-time faculty member. Funding is available to award up to two (2) Field Scholarships per year. 
The $6500 tuition award is designed to support advanced, elective study for a student who has demonstrated a penchant for innovation, creativity, and ?out of the box? thinking. Scholarship recipients will be selected prior to starting the MLIS but tuition funds will be delayed until the recipient has achieved candidacy (successful completion of 9 hours in the MLIS program). 
Lothar Spang Memorial Scholarship 
The Lothar Spang Memorial Scholarship is a $6500 tuition scholarship for an incoming MLIS student. This scholarship honors Lothar Spang, a long-time Wayne State librarian who had a special interest in children, young adults, and urban, underserved communities. This scholarship is funded by the generosity of Spang?s widow, Jean Spang, as well as Lothar?s many friends and colleagues at the University, and, particularly, his colleagues in the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) union. Funding is available to award up to two (2) Spang Scholarships per year. 
The $6500 tuition award is designed to support advanced, elective study for a student with extreme financial need who demonstrates career plans to serve as a public librarian or school media specialist in an underserved, urban community in the Detroit metropolitan area. Scholarship recipients will be selected prior to starting the MLIS but tuition funds will be delayed until the recipient has achieved candidacy (successful completion of 9 hours in the MLIS program). 
SLIS Diversity Recruitment Scholarship 
The School of Library and Information Science is pleased to announce the availability of a $5000 tuition scholarship for incoming students from an underrepresented group. This special scholarship is funded by the WSU Graduate School in order to help the School?s efforts to diversify the library and information professions. 
Diversity Recruitment Scholarship applicants must be new students, admitted to the WSU MLIS program, in order to be considered. Thus, Diversity Recruitment Scholarship applicants must satisfy the admissions criteria for the Wayne State University School of Library and Information Science described at http://slis.wayne.edu/admissions/ and complete a WSU Graduate Application for Admission. 
The Diversity Recruitment Scholarship will be awarded prior to starting MLIS classes. Tuition funds will be disbursed after the student has achieved candidacy (successful completion of 9 hours in the MLIS program). All funds must be disbursed by the Fall 2016 semester.

Hi Emily,

I would suggest getting ahold of your local dance company. We had our local studio come and perform for our Fancy Nancy Party. It was a BIG hit. They usually are up on all the latest music and most likely have dances choreographed to the Frozen soundtrack. They are usually grateful for the publicity (call the local newspaper) and ability to advertise to all the young ladies at the event. 

 

Good luck!

Just-Released "Michigan History Directory" Features More Than 1,000 Sites

 

LANSING-The Historical Society of Michigan (HSM) is excited to announce the
publication of its "Michigan History Directory, 14th Edition." A critical
tool for anyone undertaking research in the state's history, this
just-released edition includes detailed listings for more than 1,000
historical societies, museums, historic sites, archives, historical
collections, genealogical societies, agencies and commissions in Michigan.

 

Redesigned and expanded to 188 pages, the "Michigan History Directory, 14th
Edition" is the most comprehensive catalog of historical resources available
in Michigan and features several organizations that were not listed in the
past. Entries include contact and location details and information on
exhibits, collections, visitor accessibility and more. 

 

"For the first time ever, the directory includes QR codes and photographs of
member organizations," said HSM Executive Director Larry Wagenaar. "By
spotlighting unique Michigan locations where the story of history is told,
we hope to open our readers' eyes to the many historical resources that this
state has to offer."

 

Sponsored by the Rollin M. Gerstacker Foundation and the Huizenga Group, the
directory is available at many local bookstores and through the Society at
www.hsmichigan.org and (800) 692-1828. The directory, ISBN
978-1-880311-12-7, costs $19.95 for the general public; however, HSM members
can purchase a copy through the Society at a reduced price of $14.95.  

 

The Historical Society of Michigan is the state's oldest cultural
organization and was founded in 1828 by territorial governor Lewis Cass and
explorer Henry Schoolcraft. The Society helps connect Michigan's past to
students, educators, historical organizations and the public through
educational programs, conferences, publications, awards, workshops, referral
services, networking opportunities and support for local history
organizations.

The Wayne State University School of Library and Information Science is pleased to announce updates to its Graduate Certificate in Information Management (IM), effective immediately. The IM Certificate is designed to appeal to current Master?s students who want expanded opportunities with technology and data management and to pre- or post-Master?s students who need to enhance or update their information technology and data management skills and practices. 


Like other SLIS certificates, the IM Certificate requires 15 hours of course work for certificate-only students and 6 hours of additional course work for students presently in the MLIS degree program. Changes to the certificate include updated specializations in line with current professional and technological practices and less restrictive curricular requirements that allow for greater personal flexibility and personalization. 


Five suggested specializations, with five courses per specialization, are offered: 


    * Software Tools 
    * Web-based Information Services 
    * Health Informatics and Data Management 
    * Data Analytics 
    * User Experience 







Students are free to select all their courses from one specialization or to combine one or more specializations to create a unique, personalized program of study. A practicum is also an option for students who need practical experience to complement their course work.

Message-ID: <CO2PR07MB47387CDB7BEC8D4FE889015B2250@CO2PR07MB473.namprd07.prod.outlook.com>

Hello All,
     Last month my library board decided to update our library circulation policy to exclude individuals who are living in shelters from getting library cards, due to not having a permanent address and/or not paying taxes (they are also our biggest offenders for fines and not returning materials). They can however use the computers within the library and use any materials within the library just not check them out. This is not to say that the shelters themselves cannot get cards but the individuals living there cannot until they obtain a permanent address.
This morning one of my board members was at a meeting where the matter of not issuing library cards to individuals living in shelters was brought up and it was mentioned that it is "just a lawsuit waiting to happen". I have looked through the Library of Michigan Law Handbook 2013 and cannot find anything specific about refusing this type of individual a library card. They are still able to use the library facility and our resources while in the library, just not get a card to check anything out.
Does anyone have any words of wisdom or know of a specific place I can look to see if what we are doing is legal or not? Maybe you have faced this at your own library.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Everyone, 
I had a patron mention that it would be nice if we had the series number on the spine label of the adult/young adult fiction books and I started thinking about it. It sounds like a good idea, however, it seems like it would be a lot of work. I discussed it with my director and she wants to know if other libraries do this. Does any library do this? What is the process? How are your labels set up and what information is on it? 

An alternative that was discussed was to put a list of the series titles attached to the shelf where the books are shelved (on a shelf talker) but this seems like a lot of information to attach to a shelf, especially for the series with more than 10 books. Does anyone do this? 

Does anyone have something that works better than these two options? 
I am more than willing to look up series titles for patrons but I thought this might help the patrons who want to do it themselves. 
Any information that you have would be greatly appreciated. 
Thanks in advance, 

Janelle

In the children's room we do try to label the spine with the # of the series unless we feel that the number is displayed on the book itself, like Harry Potter for instance.  It can be a pain because we sometimes have to pull a series that we didn't number and redo the labels but it is very helpful to the patrons and saves us having to look it up again and again.

If any of the libraries viewing this email has any sort of security measures in place I could use some suggestions and or solutions. Does any of the local libraries have a security guard? If so are they during full operation hours? Nights and weekends? Is anyone willing to share pros and cons concerning a guard? We have an updated security camera system, however there is a growing concern that maybe an authoritative presence would be more effective. I would entertain any information or conversation about this concern. Maybe your library is also experiencing an escalated amount of disruptive activity. Are you considering hiring a security guard? If anyone has any recommendations for a security company that could also be of great help.

Thank You,

I've looked at Board Docs for a public school system but the price, even for their 'lite' version seemed steep. 

Another solution to ponder would be Google Apps. You can easily set up a site, add the agenda, and also give access to archived agendas. Best of all, free!

Email me if you want help setting something like that up.

Message-ID: <E6637EFE90308C47B1D1A217982F2D0001ADC994@clark.dcl-lib.org>

Hello Everyone,

 

I am curious to know if anyone has a policy regarding snow and/or ice
removal in your parking areas.  I am particularly interested in policies
regarding parking areas owned by the library, but would appreciate any
sample policies or procedures you are willing to share.

 

Thank you in advance!

Megan

The Michigan Historical Commission's annual Swainson Award recognizes volunteers who have made noteworthy contributions toward preserving Michigan history. Nominations for the 2015 award are being accepted through March 31.

The award is named for Governor John B. Swainson, a devoted public servant and champion of efforts to preserve Michigan history. In honoring Swainson, the award is reserved for public employees who have made outstanding contributions to preserving the stories or physical evidence of Michigan's past. Employees at a variety of governmental levels are eligible; however, their positions must be outside the field of history.

The nomination form, eligibility requirements and information on past award recipients can be found on the Michigan Historical Commission web site: www.michigan.gov/mhcommission<http://www.michigan.gov/mhcommission>.

Hello,
We are looking for a reputable book bindery to do some work for us. I did a Google search and it retrieved a list. Rather than just choose one from the list to call, I would prefer to contact one with whom someone has had a positive experience. If you can recommend someone, please reply off-list.
Thanks.

Hello there,
    I was thinking of starting up a seed library here and was wondering if anyone had advice?
Pros/Cons?  Best way to get started?

I am planning on partnering with a local community group, but also read an article awhile back that seed libraries were getting shut down due to Agri-Terrorism and the Seed Act of 2004?

Anywho, any information would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,

Janelle, 

We have a system in place for our J SERIES - they are in a separate location and the call number is J SERIES (SERIES NAME) - i.e. the Timmy Failure series has a call number J SERIES TIMMY FAILURE with a series sticker above it. We do not put the number on the spine because most of the numbers are visible anyway. When a series is complete we remove the series sticker and place it in the J FIC collection, but keep the series name, in most cases. So when Timmy Failure is complete, the call number will be J FIC TIMMY FAILURE. This has been working great for us so far.

Subject: [Michlib-l] Series titles on spine labels?




Hello Everyone, 

I had a patron mention that it would be nice if we had the series number on the spine label of the adult/young adult fiction books and I started thinking about it. It sounds like a good idea, however, it seems like it would be a lot of work. I discussed it with my director and she wants to know if other libraries do this. Does any library do this? What is the process? How are your labels set up and what information is on it? 


An alternative that was discussed was to put a list of the series titles attached to the shelf where the books are shelved (on a shelf talker) but this seems like a lot of information to attach to a shelf, especially for the series with more than 10 books. Does anyone do this? 



Does anyone have something that works better than these two options? 

I am more than willing to look up series titles for patrons but I thought this might help the patrons who want to do it themselves. 

Any information that you have would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks in advance, 




Janelle

Re: Series titles on spine labels?
We only list the number within the series on the spine label, and on the
inside pocket/label we put the series title. We do have a bookmark type
piece on cardstock with our more popular series that just stays sticking
out between the books. Our patrons love it. Sometimes they "steal" it and
we have to replace it, but not very often.

Hi everyone,

Between potholes, snow drifts, black ice, and road salt our vehicles have been taking quite a beating over the past few months (and it's not over yet). Some may even need repair or body work or a little maintenance.  Maybe we'd like to tackle the job ourselves and need step by step instructions, illustrations, and specifications.  Or, we don't feel qualified to handle the tasks ourselves but want to be well-informed when hiring a professional and have an idea of what's involved.  Vehicle enthusiasts have long used print versions of Chilton Repair Manuals and fortunately, electronic versions of hundreds of these manuals are available in the MeL<http://mel.org/index.php?P=Home> database Chilton Library<http://galesupport.com/chilton_branding/splashPage.php?loc=lom_accessmich>.   Labor estimating, bulletins/recalls, maintenance, and repair are included as are wiring and vacuum diagrams, close-up photographs, and more.  Start out by selecting the year, make and model to see what is available for your vehicle.  Model years 1940 (select makes) to the present, trucks, SUVs, imports and domestic, are all included.  Michigan residents or Michigan library access only.

Message-ID: <CAOepfafMV748Y8mLNqRwURSmc1xqzJ4qeXX0RtLNf1EdHXY=4Q@mail.gmail.com>

Good morning,

My library's municipality is considering allowing a Little Free Library in
a local park during good weather.  The city council wants my library
advisory board to weigh in on the matter.  Do any of you have experiences
with a Little Free Library in your area?  Are these good things, just by
getting more people to read?  Or is there a noticeable drop in library
circulation or book donations?  Does your library get involved, by
advertising its services at the Little Free Library?

I appreciate all input on this.  Thank you.

Hi again,

Minor correction to my previous post to the list serv: the parks and
recreation department, not the city council, wants the library advisory
board's opinion on the matter of Little Free Libraries.

Thank you to everyone who has replied thus far!  The majority opinion seems
to be that these are fabulous to have in the community.

Jessica,

We have been big supporters of the Little Libraries in our community in
Grand Traverse County. We sponsored the construction of the first one and
also donated books. Since then we have worked with Boy Scout groups to
deploy several others and various other community organizations and private
individuals have erected their own. These Little Libraries have not had any
major effect on our donation levels or circulation and the publicity has
been excellent. We have a variety of resources on our website if you want
to learn more:

My library in West Virginia used the Little Free Library movement as a community building and outreach tool. ?Members of the community built little libraries and donated them to the library. ?We displayed them in an art contest and then installed them throughout the county as outreach for the library. ?It was a wonderful experience, and they are being used with great enthusiasm! ?I think the positive press and raised profile for the library in the community will have a far-reaching effect on public support and use of the public library, and there has been no drop in circulation as a result, so far.

We are interested in hearing from libraries that use an online program registration. We currently have one that is part of our Drupal website but are having issues with sending reminders and adding categories (like age, allergies, etc.). We would like to hear what products other libraries have tried and found useful (as well as hear about the ones that were not useful). Thank you in advance- I will compile if there is interest.

Good afternoon,

Thank you to everyone who gave their input on Little Free Libraries.
You've been very helpful.

highly of Little Free Libraries.

Message-ID: <CAH_4hLqe5t7ex+ig_h4Say7bb7yWf5+E19HKhJGLED+SNjxTrw@mail.gmail.com>

Hi!
Got a rockin' conference presentation you'd love to share with others? The
Association for Rural & Small Libraries would love to hear about it! See
information below on how to submit a proposal for the ARSL 2015
Conference...Rockin' in Little Rock.
Thanks,
Colleen

The Association for Rural & Small Libraries (ARSL) invites proposals for
break-out session presentations for the 2015 Conference to be held in
Little Rock, Arkansas, October 1 - 3.

Proposals for these 1-hour sessions can be submitted using our online form
found here: http://goo.gl/forms/HsdkG43X7p  The deadline to submit the form
is March 13, 2015.  All proposals will be reviewed by the Conference
Programming Committee.  Those who submit a proposal will be notified
whether or not their proposal was accepted by April 6, 2015.

This year?s conference theme is ?Rockin? in Little Rock.?  Themes we hope
to see among your proposals include the following:

Libraries Rock ?.

?         Building Community Partners

?         Solving Problems with New Approaches

?         Creative Management

?         Technology  Tools

We remind presenters that workshops must be geared toward the small and
rural library audience, and those that are practical, hands-on, and how-to
are preferred. This is not the proper venue for post-graduate dissertations
or marketing products. Additional instructions are included on the form.

Workshop presenters will receive ONE complimentary conference registration
per workshop title selected. (i.e. a team of three presenters working on
one workshop will receive one complimentary registration).

The committee is looking forward to receiving your submissions.

Message-ID: <CAJVE6XgLSEvSMvEy=TvQCzCp8c_qdro+UgJJ8M8N437H74gxAQ@mail.gmail.com>

I recently found out that the Cass County Public Library in Missouri
has a seed library program, which was recently mentioned on their
blog.  They may be able to tell you something about their experiences.

https://useyourlibraryvoice.wordpress.com/2014/03/27/seed-library-now-open-for-business-in-harrisonville/

The blog post includes a link to something called the Seed Savers
Exchange, which may have other useful information:

http://www.seedsavers.org/

The laws that you refer to seem to be at the state level, but similar
language may occur in several states' laws.

http://seedlibraries.org/profiles/blogs/does-us-agricultural-law-mean-seed-libraries-are-illegal

Some libraries have reportedly turned to hosting events at which
gardeners can exchange seeds directly between themselves instead of
holding the seeds in a library collection.

Subject: [Michlib-l] LibraryBiz Connect has been busy- here's an update
Message-ID: <CAG0Ji99WG+Fd1PfWRHepyZDU15N5CRJa=+x+fiqxnNEgT7aU_w@mail.gmail.com>

*What is LibraryBiz Connect?*

A grassroots organization comprised of public and academic librarians
working together with business support non-profit organizations to:


   -           Position public libraries as the local portal for economic
   development
   -           Connect average businesses to knowledge, data, training and
   business counseling in an approachable environment
   -           Pool regional resources to benefit our local communities

 We are not a fee-based organization. We are a group that is committed to
supporting economic development and growth for stronger communities by
utilizing the tools and resources already available in most communities.



*Who are we?*

Current partners include:

Adrian Public Library

Ann Arbor District Library

Bizgrid Detroit

Brighton Area Chamber of Commerce

Brighton District Library

Canton Public Library

Chelsea Chamber of Commerce

Chelsea District Library

Cromaine District Library

Eastern Michigan University

Gast Business Library ? Michigan State University

Plymouth District Library

Schoolcraft College Business Development Center

SCORE (Service Corps of Retired Executives)

TLN (The Library Network)

Traverse Area District Library

Washtenaw Community College ? Bailey Library

Wayne State University Libraries





*How does the partnership work?*

At its most fundamental, the partnership is successful because of the
relationships we have built with each other. We acknowledge and appreciate
the strengths of our partners and help direct current and potential
business owners to the best organization to meet their needs.


Here is a brief (very simplified) example of how LibraryBiz Connect
partnerships benefit a community:


   - A community member comes to the library looking for information on how
   to start a business. The librarian directs their community member to the
   resources and asks if they would like to sign up for the ?How to Start a
   Business? workshop being held at the library.
   - The community member attends a Small Business Development Center ?How
   to Start a Business? workshop at their local library.
   - The community member then talks to a SCORE counselor who regularly
   holds counseling hours at the library.
   - While working on a business plan the SCORE counselor can direct the
   community member to a librarian for access to business databases and print
   resources.
   - The community member opens a storefront on Main St.



*What have we been doing?*


   -         Going to conferences and workshops around the state attended
   by small business owners and small business support organizations. Talking
   to non-librarians about the resources available at local libraries and the
   information professionals available to help find the correct information.
   -           Encouraging business owners to visit their local libraries
   for access to business resources
   -           Encouraging business support organizations to reach out and
   develop relationships with their local libraries. Help each other do what
   we do best, sharing our resources and network of contacts to help support
   business owners.
   -           Helping each other! Encouraging libraries to partner with
   each other and local business nonprofits.  It?s OK not to own everything
   and not to know everything.
   -           Providing partner and interested libraries and business
   support organizations with a monthly conference call. A platform for
   everyone to ask questions and share successes and challenges.

I have a patron who would like to know the lysine : arginine ratio for
brown rice and quinoa. I have found multiple lists with this information
(with no source), but none of them have the ratio for brown rice or quinoa.
Does anyone know where to find this type of information?

Dear Colleagues, 

We are considering dividing our fiction department by genre to help patrons more easily discover their favorite types of authors. I would like to hear from anyone who has done this or is doing it and what your thoughts on this kind of arrangement. 

Do you feel it helps or confuses patrons, creates lots of extra work for staff, opens you to genre sticker issues, etc? I look forward to your insights! Many thanks in advance!

Subject: [Michlib-l] great program! possibly for Money Smart Week
Message-ID: <52e8ceb74002407390a3ab0fa057479b@FITZGERALD.cityoftroy.local>

Hello!

If any of you want to highlight Money Smart Week, April 18-25, I highly recommend Colin Ryan, the financial literacy comedian.

I know those terms don't usually go together, but he was GREAT!!!! We had him last week to wrap up our grant program, and we had 60 people, parents and teens/tweens, who had a great time. Excellent evaluations.

Colin talks about the importance of saving money so you can reach your goals, and how you can make a difference in the world, all with humor and a great slide presentation.

If you are interested, his contact information is:

Colin Ryan

http://www.colinryanspeaks.com/


phone: 802.468.7565

e: colinryanspeaks at gmail.com<mailto:colinryanspeaks at gmail.com>

We paid for the program with grant funds, but he was well worth it and I'd have him again for sure.  He is very interested in working with libraries in order to reach a larger audience, and would probably give a discount if a group of libraries in the area all had programs at the same time.

Hope all of you are doing well and staying warm!

Nannette,

First, if someone is actually making threatening posts on Facebook or any other web site, the patron should contact the local, county or state police and report the threats. The patron can also contact Facebook and report the profile of the person allegedly making the threats. Most libraries have Internet Use Policies that prohibit patrons from using the computers for illegal purposes. But I think you would want some proof that such activity is both illegal and happening on library computers before taking any action against a patron.

Second, unless the person observed the activity happening on the library's computer, there's no way to determine from a Facebook post itself that the posting actually occurred while the patron was on the library's computer. Depending on how you log and monitor patron use of your computers, it may be possible to determine whether a library computer was involved in such activity. But be aware that the state's Library Privacy Act may be triggered if the police request access to library records related to a patron's use of a library computer. As always, you should be consulting your library's legal advisory on any questions related to legal issues like this.

Good luck!

Subject: [Michlib-l] Project ENABLE (Expanding Non-discriminatory Access by
 Librarians Everywhere)
Message-ID: <BN1PR09MB0212210C42E877B7583C252DBB2C0@BN1PR09MB0212.namprd09.prod.outlook.com>

Below is information about a current IMLS project to create and extend Project ENABLE (Expanding Non-discriminatory Access by Librarians Everywhere), which provides free, comprehensive online training to librarians nationwide on library and information services to people with disabilities.

http://projectenable.syr.edu

A new website was recently launched expanding the target audience of school librarians to include public and academic librarians.   Currently users can find the following:


*        a site design based on instructional and motivational theories and models and pilot tested several times during its development. The site consists of five learning modules covering multiple topics and sub-topics. They include:


o   Disability Awareness (person-first language and sensitivity, students' perspective (videos by students with disabilities), experiencing disability (covering autism spectrum disorder, Asperger's syndrome, ADHD, dyslexia, hearing and vision impairments, physical disabilities).



o   Disability Law & Policy (Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, IEPs, Americans with Disabilities Act).



o   Creating an Accessible Library (Universal Design, evaluating your library's accessibility, library accessibility action plan, facilities design, collection development, library policies and procedures, leadership and advocacy).



o   Planning Inclusive Programs and Instruction (motivating diverse learners, Universal Design for Learning, differentiated instruction, collaboration, inclusive programs or lessons with examples, assessment).



o   Assistive Technology in Libraries (what is assistive technology, assistive technology for every disability, implementing and evaluating assistive technology, web accessibility).



*        training that is customized according to a type of library setting (school, academic, public) and location (state). That means that, for example, a school librarian from Michigan who registers for Project ENABLE training will automatically receive information most relevant to a school library setting with any state-specific information included.



*        the option for librarians to register as individuals or for administrators or trainers to register a group or class. So, for example, if a public library director wishes to have all of the librarians in the library system participate in the training, he or she can register them as a group. The system will automatically generate a code for that group which each of those trainees then use when they register. The administrator can then monitor the progress and achievement of the group and each individual within the group throughout the training.


*        the opportunity to take an Initial Assessment, a 30-item, multiple choice test that assesses knowledge in all of the areas covered in the training. The items are randomly generated from a pool of over 300 items so it can be retaken, if necessary, with little chance of getting the exact same items. Feedback on accuracy of responses is immediate. There is also a Final Assessment that the trainee can take after completing the training modules, allowing comparison to the Initial Assessment to demonstrate learning success. Each training module has a brief quiz (5 multiple choice items, randomly generated from a pool of 50+ items) at the end of the module that tests the trainee only on the content within that module. Again, the trainee receives immediate feedback on the accuracy of responses and can retake a quiz multiple times with little chance of getting exactly the same questions.



*        a variety of formats including text, videos, graphics, photos, audio files, links to relevant sites, games, interactive activities, evaluation checklists (e.g., accessibility of the library facility), and fill-in templates for creating action plans for ensuring an accessible library and designing inclusive lesson plans. We've even included a facilities redesign exercise that provides a graphic representation of a library floor plan with furniture that can be manipulated to help in redesigning the library to make it accessible to all users.


*        a "My Ideas" feature allows the trainee to take notes or jot down ideas while progressing through the training. These notes and ideas, as well as test and quiz scores, are saved to the trainee's password-protected personal page called "My Account" for reference at any time.



*        a certificate of achievement, available (and printable) to any trainee successfully completing all of the training and assessments. This certificate may serve as evidence of completion of approximately 20 hours of professional development.

This is a project of the Center for Digital Literacy at the School of Information Studies at Syracuse University.

I need opinions, and I know that there is never a shortage of those on the listserv!
 
We need to replace our barcode scanners - one is broken, the other one is old and tired. I've looked at Demco; their prices range from $160 - $700! I've also been looking at Amazon where prices are much more reasonable (less than $100).
 
Does anyone know whether I can use the less expensive scanners? Have you used them at your library, and if so, what was your experience?
 
You can reply to me off list at galesburglibrary at hotmail.com.

If the model number is the same, go for it. If it's a different model balance cost and any added value a local or not so local vendor would add.
In my experience, laser bar code readers just work - or just need reprograming and then they just work for years and years.
                My preferred vendor is RACO Industries. http://www.racoindustries.com/

Subject: [Michlib-l] Barcode Scanner question

I need opinions, and I know that there is never a shortage of those on the listserv!

We need to replace our barcode scanners - one is broken, the other one is old and tired. I've looked at Demco; their prices range from $160 - $700! I've also been looking at Amazon where prices are much more reasonable (less than $100).

Does anyone know whether I can use the less expensive scanners? Have you used them at your library, and if so, what was your experience?

You can reply to me off list at galesburglibrary at hotmail.com<mailto:galesburglibrary at hotmail.com>.

Thanks!

Message-ID: <DM2PR09MB0573433EE8CF622DF160AFD7C02D0@DM2PR09MB0573.namprd09.prod.outlook.com>

Hello all,

A research paper or project is only as good as its sources and people sometimes stumble when their citations aren't accurate, are missing entirely, or fail to be formatted correctly.  Fortunately, MeL database vendors recognize this need and cover it in their products.  In Gale's InfoTrac Academic OneFile<http://www.galesupport.com/migeoipcheck/migeoipcheck-gale.php?database=AONE> for example,  MLA 7th Edition and APA 6th Edition styles are available and can be exported to any of five tools - EasyBib, EndNote, ProCite, Reference Manager, and RefWorks.  ProQuest's SIRS Discoverer<http://www.galesupport.com/migeoipcheck/migeoipcheck-proq.php?database=SIRSDISC> provides MLA citations at the end of an article, and instructions for APA and Turabian format are found under the Cite tab (found at the top of the page).   World Book Kids<http://www.worldbookonline.com/kids/home?subacct=O6106> provides MLA, APA, and Harvard formatted citations at the end of an article as well as a link to Help for learning about citing sources.  Although these citation styles may look similar, using the wrong one can be problematic.  So once the required style is identified, and the research materials are gathered, MeL databases<http://mel.org/Databases> have the tools a researcher needs to complete their document with confidence.  Michigan residents or Michigan library access only.

MeL Minutes are brought to you by the Library of Michigan.  Want more information on MeL?  Stay tuned for next week's MeL Minute available on many Michigan library listservs, email us at contact at mel.org<mailto:contact at mel.org> or visit mel.org<http://mel.org/>.  We encourage you to share MeL Minutes with your public service colleagues.

The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) provides federal funding for K-12 education programs. Reauthorization of legislation of this nature will determine federal education policy for the coming decade and it is imperative that dedicated funding for school library programs be included. We need you to contact both Senators from your state and let them know how critical school libraries are in improving our education system. Ask them to support dedicated funding for effective school library programs under ESEA by co-sponsoring S.312.

Thank you Trish for forwarding the Action Alert from ALA.  I know many
people have asked me how they could support School Libraries.  Contacting
Senators Stabenow and Peters to ask them to co-sponsor S.312 which is the
bipartisan SKILLS (Strengthening Kids? Interest in Learning and Libraries
Act) is one such way.  If you are interested in making a call, but need
assistance with wording about school libraries --- below is a suggestion:

Call Senator Stabenow (202-224-4822) and Senator Peters (202-224-6221). Most
times you will have to leave a voicemail.  You could say something like the
following (modify this slightly to include your own 'voice') ---

?I would like to ask Senator ______  to co-sponsor S. 312 the SKILLS Act
which is the Strengthening Kids? Interest in Learning and Libraries Act. It
is a bipartisan act introduced by Senators Reed, Cochran, and Whitehouse.
School libraries are critical to improving our education system and for
preparing students to compete in today?s global economy.  Multiple studies
show that strong school library programs have a positive impact on student
achievement. Senator ______, please support dedicated funding for effective
school library programs under ESEA by co-sponsoring S.312. Thank you.?


Please remember to include your name and address with zip code.

Thank you very much,
Kathy

Subject: [Michlib-l] Beginning Workshop May 12-14,
	2015 - Registration available in March
Message-ID: <BN1PR09MB021270F3F7AFC8053C874AF9BB2A0@BN1PR09MB0212.namprd09.prod.outlook.com>

Registration for the 2015 Beginning Workshop will be open in March. When the online registration is available messages will be posted to Michlib-L and links will be available from the LM website, www.michigan.gov/beginningworkshop<http://www.michigan.gov/beginningworkshop>.

The Library of Michigan's Beginning Workshop is a 3-day event geared for library staff members that have not had the opportunity for formal library coursework. Its aim is to introduce library staff to a variety of topics and offer them practical skills that they can use working in a Michigan public library. Anyone new to the profession or just hired at a library, no matter what their academic credentials, is welcome to attend the event.

For those seeking an initial Level 3 or Level 4 certificate from the Library of Michigan attendance at the entire Beginning Workshop is obligatory. For more information on Library of Michigan's certification program visit the Library Certification<http://www.michigan.gov/librarycertification> page.  (Other workshops that may be needed for State Aid disbursements are the New Directors' and the Advanced Directors' workshops scheduled each fall.)


Beginning Workshop
Date: May 12-14, 2015
Location: Shanty Creek Resorts, Bellaire, MI

Registered attendees will be able to pick up their packets from 6-8pm on Monday, May 11 in the lobby of the hotel.  You can also pick up packets on Tuesday, May 12 at 8:00am during breakfast. The event concludes by 3:00 on Thursday, May 14.

Pricing will be very similar to that of the 2014 event. If you are interested in budgeting for the 2015 event, please view last year' 2014 Attendee Information Packet <http://www.michigan.gov/documents/libraryofmichigan/LM_2014_BW_Attendee_Info_449158_7.pdf> for details on the event.

Thanks to everyone who responded to my question about stickering Caldecott and Newbery Honor books. 18 libraries responded, with 14 of them responding "yes" to stickering the Honor books and 4 responding "no". In addition, we had three libraries who stickered other youth award winners, the Coretta Scott King award winners (2 libraries) and the Theodore Geisel award. After considering all of this, we have decided to sticker the Caldecott and Newbery Honor books (we already sticker the Grand prize winners) and the Coretta Scott King award winners.

Thanks again for all of your responses and suggestions!

I have a new toner cartridge that needs to go to a new home.  It is a Xerox
cartridge that replaces 98X.  It says it is compatible with LaserJet HP
Printers 4, 4+, 4M, 4M+, 5, 5M, 5N, Apple Laserwriter Pro 600, 630, Apple
16/600.

 

I pulled out the starting strip and tried it on my HP LaserJet 4+, but it
didn't work.  Otherwise it is a brand-new cartridge and is free to a good
home.  I just need your RIDES code to send it to you.

Thank you to everyone who responded. Now that we know that at least some 
libraries have received forms we are contacting the IRS.  If this does 
not work, we will contact our congressman.

I personally ordered forms to be mailed to my home about a month ago.  I 
have not received those either, but did get a form I did not order.  
This is shaping up to be the worst year yet.

Message-ID: <61AD9342E419254D959890FADD3D434B5C545F@COPSRV11.cop.local>

Hello -
I am considering sharing a full-time teen services librarian with a neighboring library. We felt like if we had a full time position to post, we may be able to attract stronger candidates. The other library and I talked about the person being hired on by one entity and then the other contracting for services. Hoping someone out there has tried this type of model and would be willing to share their experiences - pros and cons; was there a contract or memo of understanding between libraries; what was in that document; any other tips.

Thank you for your input.

Subject: [Michlib-l] Financial Management Question-Class III Libraries
Message-ID: <BLU177-W477D008FE61D207CDC88EEB9290@phx.gbl>





Hello,
Our library had been a City Library and restructured as a district library recently.  The City of Reed City had done all accounting and payroll on behalf of the Library previously and is presently continuing that arrangement.  The Library Board would like to consider changing some financial management to become more independent.
I have the following questions for Class III Libraries (especially, Class III district libraries) as related to financial management:
1).  Do you have an outside financial manager for your library or does the does the director (or other staff) assume responsibility for that function? For example, who is responsible for payroll, balance statements, audits etc.? Do you pay an outside person to perform accounting for your Library or do you have a dedicated staff for finances?
2) If your library is a district library, do any of your constituent participating municipalities perform financial management services on your behalf?  For example, if your district is comprised of one or more townships and a City, do you have an arrangement where the City or Township Treasurer perform fiscal management on behalf of the district library.  If so, what tasks do they complete on behalf of the Library?  How well do you feel this arrangement is working?
2).  If you do your accounting internally at your library, what software do you use and would you recommend that software to another library? 
These questions could probably be a little more well-worded, but even general insights and recommendations based on your experience would be appreciated.
Thank You (and Happy Monday!)

Heather

Hi All-Tami Kirk, Product Mgr. for SIRS Discoverer at ProQuest would like to do some focus groups of librarians who use SIRS Discoverer as ProQuest works on a redesign of the product.  Tami is looking at the weeks of March 9 and 16; she can do the group via a webinar format and was thinking 4 pm to accommodate school/work schedules, although other times are doable.  Duration would be an hour I'm thinking...

Please let me know by Monday, March 2nd if you can participate.

Thanks very much for considering!

Everybody Ready is the Wayne County Fiduciary for Early Childhood Programs in Wayne County. We are developing a website that will focus on serving families with young children, but limited resources, who live in Wayne County. 



We are looking for a person who will identify and gather ongoing program, services, activities and opportunities for young families who have children ages 0-8 and have limited resources. The kind of information that we want gathered may include, but not be limited to: 

    * All local library services and activities for young families (updated weekly) 
    * Events at all local museums, the Zoo, the DIA, the Michigan Science Center etc. (updated weekly) 
    * All family events, activities and programs at state, federal and municipal parks located in Wayne County (updated weekly) 
    * Programs at local literacy programs 
    * After School programs 
    * Performing Arts clinics, institutes and camps 
    * Summer food programs for children/families 
    * More, more, more 


No one does this type of research better than Librarians and I & R professionals. Our goal is to have an ongoing CURRENT list of opportunities by type, event date and zip code so that young families can go to our website and find all low cost/no cost programs, activities and opportunities that our region has to offer. 



We anticipate a development stage, then a maintenance stage. This is an hourly position paying $20/hour. We have funding through September 30, 2015. We anticipate March and April as developmental (averaging 20 hours a week) and May through September as maintenance at approximately 5-7 hours a week. 



This will be a powerful tool for young families. 



Interested? Send a resume and letter telling why this engagement has your name on it to: admin at everybodyready.org

Subject: [Michlib-l] MAP Statewide Year 2: Nine Month Birthday and 18% More
 Checkouts Than ALL Last Year!
In-Reply-To: <204260258.9119893.1424784917457.JavaMail.root@tln.lib.mi.us>
Message-ID: <1366934418.9122791.1424786873842.JavaMail.root@tln.lib.mi.us>

All,

Today is MAP Statewide Year 2's nine-month birthday! Yes, we went live with MAP Statewide Year 2 exactly nine months ago today. We are pleased to report that, thanks to your hard work as well as Brigette's social media promotion, MAP checkouts at the nine month mark are now 18% higher than for the entire 12 month period of May 24, 2013 through May 24, 2014. And with 250+ DNR attractions joining MAP effective May 24, 2015, the sky is the limit for MAP Statewide Year 3!

Speaking of sky, have you "checked out" the growing list of results when you do a MAP search? To wit, go to http://michiganactivitypass.info I entered my office location zip code of 48375 in the My Start Location field. In order that I might see the complete list of venues I entered 999 (Michigan is a big state, after all) in the blank box in the Maximum Miles from My Start Location field. Finally, in the My Library Name field I started typing Novi Public Library, and when that field auto-filled with the name of that library, I clicked the black Search button. A list of 334 activities appeared at right, ranging in distance from 3.0 miles away from zip code 48375 (Mill Race Historical Village) to 417.0 miles away from zip code 48375 (Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park). So where does the sky reference fit it in to all of this? On the "map of MAP" that appears on the left after you've clicked the black Search button, there are green balloons everywhere! Our goal with statewide MAP from the beginning has been to fill that entire map with green balloons, each one representing a participating venue. We've nearly succeeded, as you will see that there are very few areas of the state that are sans green balloon now. And we are still entering data that will result in additional green balloons!

Is your library ready to begin promoting the expanded MAP/Park and Read/Mi Big Green Gym program, which in addition to cultural attractions will also include all state parks, recreation areas, forest campgrounds, and historic sites, on May 24, 2015??!!

That said, if you know of venues in your area that would like to join MAP and become a green balloon on our map in the process, please send them my way. Several of you already have, and I thank you for that. Emphasize to these potential venues that our new partnership with BCBSM and DNR will result in publicity and promotion for their institutions the likes of which we've not been able to offer them with MAP before.

Thank you for your promotion and support of the Michigan Activity Pass (MAP) program.

Sincerely,

Jim Flury

Message-ID: <CALAGPu6A2RVPXS9_e=y2_8OBTkCErmjxjafjBmVGV3FwW0u1MQ@mail.gmail.com>

Hello all!

Two connected questions that I'd love to get feedback on.  Comments on
either or both greatly appreciated.

If anyone asks, I'd be happy to repost to the list with my responses
(stripped of info, upon request).

   1. Are there any libraries out there that have migrated *FROM*
   Innovative's Sierra?  Which new ILS did you choose and why?  How did your
   migration go?
   2. Any libraries out there using Verso, Apollo, or LibrarySolution?  How
   well does it work for you?  Also, MeLCat integration....How functional is
   it, really?

Thank you, all!  I appreciate this group *so* much.  It's one thing to get
promises from the vendor, and another to hear it from another library.  And
I'm about done with promises from vendors that don't materialize, you know?

Hello Everyone,

 

We are looking at changing our process for moving books that are long
overdue to a lost status. Could you share:

 

a)      How long you let a book go overdue before changing it to lost

b)      If you circulate DVDs, do you have a different time period or is it
the same?

 

Thanks so much for your input!

New content added to WebJunction

?        The Social Library<http://www.webjunction.org/news/webjunction/the-social-library-volume-one.html> collects great ideas that libraries have shared about their events and services through Facebook. This week, we feature five public libraries with events that include a new Veterans Resource Center and a ?Do It Together? series.

?        Health Happens in Libraries has a new guide available for library staff on Understanding Ethics and Privacy in Health Information and Services<http://www.webjunction.org/news/webjunction/HHIL-privacy-and-ethics-pathway.html>.

March Webinars

The Pursuit of Happiness?Through Libraries
Thursday, March 19, 2015 ? 2 pm Eastern / 11 am Pacific ? 60 min
Registration: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/pursuit-of-happiness.html

"The public library is a center of public happiness first?" John Cotton Dana, 1896.
Research points to how we can increase happiness and a sense of well-being in ourselves and others. Using interactive activities, participants will discover methods to improve joy, shift workplace culture, and offer programs for the public on happiness. You will walk away with a smile and a plan.

An encore presentation of the highest rated session from this year?s conference, this webinar is hosted in collaboration with the Association for Rural and Small Libraries<http://arsl.info/>.

Presented by: Sharon Morris, Colorado State Library.

BEFORE THE WEBINAR: Please watch the 12 minute TED video, The Happy Secret to Better Work<http://www.ted.com/talks/shawn_achor_the_happy_secret_to_better_work.html>, which will be discussed as part of the webinar.

Can?t attend the live session? Don?t worry. All webinars are archived and included in the WebJunction course catalog<http://learn.webjunction.org/> so you can watch when your schedule permits and receive a certificate of attendance.

"How Do I Apply to College?" Helping Patrons Meet Their Higher Education Goals
Thursday, March 26, 2015 ? 1 pm Eastern / 10 am Pacific ? 60 min
Registration: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/how-do-i-apply-to-college.html

As information and education centers, libraries are an ideal place for patrons?teens and adults?to learn about higher education opportunities. What can you offer in response to patrons who are curious about college? If you or your staff feel flummoxed by college-related reference questions, this session will acquaint you with the different types of college-bound students, college-related resources to promote at your library, and ways to work with community partners on programs for each audience. Provide help for the many patrons who do not have access to pricey college prep programs and services. Learn how to initiate or enhance your reference services to help more people meet their higher education goals.

Presented by: Africa Hands, MA, MLIS, Academic Coordinator, University of Louisville

Can?t attend the live session? Don?t worry. All webinars are archived and included in the WebJunction course catalog<http://learn.webjunction.org/> so you can watch when your schedule permits and receive a certificate of attendance.

Dear Library Colleagues, 

You, your family, friends and community are most cordially invited to
the Pinckney Community Public Library for a program celebrating Season
Five of _Downton Abbey,_ the popular _PBS Masterpiece_ series.
Festivities will begin promptly at five o'clock (5:00pm) on Tuesday,
March 3rd. There will be a demonstration of dance styles of the era from
students at the Kenville Studios of Dance & Creativity (led by artistic
director, Colette Kenville), Downton Abbey music, a presentation of
costumes & clothing of Downton Abbey provided by local theatrical
groups, light refreshments, a display of local history of the period,
trivia, door prizes, AND a discussion of the characters and events of
the recently concluded series. Downton Abbey addicts or anyone wondering
what the fuss is about can enjoy an entertaining evening revolving
around this favorite TV obsession. 

For more information or to register for this program, please contact us
at 734-878-3888 or check out our flier posting:

We look forward to see you then!

Hi Everyone,

 

Our new library has a completion date of March 15!  We still need 4-5
computer tables, 72" long x 24" wide, and we have a limited budget.

Does anyone have experience with K-Log furniture?  Or maybe there is another
company you would recommend?

 

Thanks,

Hello,

We are in the process of rebuilding our website on the Joomla Content
Management System.  The process is both overwhelming and exciting as I
enter this new way of thinking about web design.  I've found a list of
user groups that share ideas that is based on location.  I would prefer to
find a group that is centered around libraries.  Does anyone know of a
library online forum, such as this one, that shares ideas, experiences and
questions about using Joomla?

Thank you.

Hello all!  Do any of your libraries use meetup.com to promote certain library events?  We do some gaming events (tabletop games) and I was hoping to promote those on meetup, but there is a small fee.

If you do use the site, have you had success with it?  I believe it would be a bit of niche marketing, but I think that would be very useful for some of our programs to target certain audiences.

Thank you,
Gina

Hello all,

Those of us that work with MeL<http://mel.org/index.php?P=Home> on a regular basis and are knowledgeable about its features and history might forget that not everyone is as familiar with the details as we are.  What is MeL, how did it start, what is the mission, how much usage does it get, how is it evaluated?  All important questions that patrons, community partners, future users, staff, and elected officials might have as they are introduced to this great suite of resources.  The About<http://mel.org/About> tab on the MeL homepage (top right and at the bottom right) contains links and information that answers these questions and more.  Curious about the 2014 surveys of the general public and library patrons and staff regarding MeL?  You can find a link to that report and previous reports at the About<http://mel.org/About> tab.  The Mission Statement, Collection Development Strategy, MeL Usage Statistics, What We Do, Who We Are, Our History, MeL Study, and Sponsorship are sections of information you can find at About<http://mel.org/About>.

MeL Minutes are brought to you by the Library of Michigan.  Want more information on MeL?  Stay tuned for next week's MeL Minute available on many Michigan library listservs, email us at contact at mel.org<mailto:contact at mel.org> or visit mel.org<http://mel.org/>.

Hi, Susan!

I saw your post on Michlib requesting info on book bags.

As a distributer of audiobooks to libraries, we have attended many library conferences and offered book bags such as what you are looking for as our vendor "give-away".

We worked with a company called Promo Direct, and ordered their Celebration Tote Bag (item #6675). They are durable, colorful and cost effective. The website addy is promodirect.com. You can click here<http://www.promodirect.com/catalog/srhkeyword.cz;jsessionid=EEEF3D0EF9C4F4AA1A3A7FFB298D2387?keyword=6675> to go directly to the image and info on this item.

I hope you find this information to be both timely and useful!

Have a successful day,

Tory

Executive Director ? The Westport Library (CT)

 

Transform. Transcend. Deliver. Be the next leader of the preeminent public
library in Connecticut. The Board of Trustees of  The Westport Library
<http://www.westportlibrary.org/>  seeks an experienced, engaged and
energetic Executive Director who will build on the Library?s innovative and
award-winning programs and patron-centric service to achieve even greater
levels of excellence. The Westport Library is a vibrant and welcoming
community hub that reflects Westport?s spirit, creativity and
entrepreneurship.  Each day, an average of 1,300 patrons of all ages visit
the Library to read and research (borrowing nearly 674,000 items last year),
attend one of the Library?s 1,600 programs, consult with the Library?s
expert reference librarians, use one of the Library?s ten 3-D printers, shop
the Library store, meet friends at the Library Caf? or simply enjoy the
camaraderie of being in a dynamic shared space.  In 2013 the Library Journal
designated the Westport Library as a ?Five-Star Library?, a distinction
earned by less than 1% of the nation?s libraries.  The Library was also
among the first in the nation to establish a Maker Space, a place for
creation, collaboration, innovation and entrepreneurship, and in 2013 the
Library was awarded a major IMLS grant to support and enhance its Maker
Space programs. The Westport Library has been devoted to enriching the
intellectual lives of Westport since 1886. The Westport Library Association
is organized in Connecticut as an independent 501(c)(3) organization.  It is
supported by a $4.3 million annual Town appropriation and supplemented by an
active development effort, as well as grants, fees and earned income,
resulting in a $5.6 million annual operating budget. The Library is
currently in the ?quiet phase? of a Capital Campaign aimed at transforming
its physical space to better support the needs of 21st century library
users.  

 

 <http://www.westportct.gov/> Westport is a beautiful coastal Connecticut
town located just one hour northeast of New York City. Once an artists?
colony, the town has held strong to its cultural roots while developing into
a thriving and engaged community. With a population of approximately 26,500
people, Westport?s small-town atmosphere provides residents with a haven
away from the bustle of larger cities, a vibrant downtown area that offers
everything from one-of-a-kind boutiques to luxury retail locations and a
diverse array of restaurants. Home of a vigorous arts community, Westport
offers exhibitions, cultural events and outstanding performances at notable
venues such as the Westport Country Playhouse and The Levitt Pavilion.
Westport also boasts a first-rate public school system, excellent private
schools, a municipal golf course and an environmental awareness with
ventures including the Wakeman Town Farm, the Earthplace Nature and
Discovery Center and its own recycling efforts. A wide range of leisure
activities and effective and efficient services provided by Town government
contribute to a quality of life difficult to find elsewhere.  For more about
the Library, the Town and the surrounding communities, see
<http://www.gossagesager.com/westportlinks.htm> Westport Links.

 

Responsibilities.  Reporting to the Westport Library Board of Trustees
(currently a 20-member body, half of whom are Town Meeting appointees and

****Apologies for Cross Posting****

Hello list members. I am emailing to resend the survey on Impostor Phenomenon. Sadly, due to a technological issue I?ve lost all the data from the previous survey. If you are in a management or administrative role in your institution please follow the link to the survey, https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/2V5WX8K .

My original email is below and offers more explanation.

Thank you for your time and patience.

This is your invitation to participate in an online survey regarding Impostor Phenomenon among managers and administrators in academic libraries.

Imposter Phenomenon (IP), also known as Imposter Syndrome, has been a popular topic in higher education for over 30 years.  The idea comes from two psychologists, Dr. Pauline Rose Clance and Dr. Suzanne Ament Imes, both of whom noticed reoccurring anxieties among successful women/men in managerial roles.
The idea behind IP is that no matter how hard one works, or how successful one becomes, the individual feels like a fraud. At any moment they will be ?found out? by supervisors that they are not as ?good?, ?intelligent?, or ?successful? as they appear to be. They feel as if their success was by chance or by luck and not from their own abilities.

There is no known or expected risk, threat, or harm to either potential project participants or project participants or others.  The short survey should take approximately 15-25 minutes to complete. A portion of this survey contains the Clance Impostor Phenomenon Scale (CIPS) with permission of the author (see permission statement below). No data is saved until the participant submits the full survey. You are asked to voluntarily provide specific information to this web site. You may skip any question, or stop participating at any time. The information collected will be used for the stated purposes of this research project only and will not be provided to any other party for any other reason at any time except and only if required by law. You should be aware that although the information you provide is anonymous, it is transmitted in a non-secure manner. There is a remote chance that skilled, knowledgeable persons unaffiliated with this research project could track the information you provide to the IP address of the computer from which you send it. However, your personal identity cannot be determined.

Responses are anonymous and data will be reported without any identifying characteristics. The results from this survey will be presented at conferences and disseminated in other research articles.

Dear Collective,

We are currently looking at updating our salary scale and I can find bits
and pieces of comparison information, but not the whole picture.  So I am
falling on your mercy to help me compile a document of like-size and salary
libraries to our own as a guide in creating our own scale.  I don't have
experience with those nifty surveymonkey things, so I'm doing this old
school.  Also, after I compile the information into a nice, neat package, I
am more than happy to share with anyone interested.  What I want is class 5
size libraries between 38,000-43,000 in population.  I need to know:

1.      Population

2.      Staff size + how many actual full and part time staff in your
library(ies)

3.      Annual Budget

4.      Salary scale or actual amount for:

a.      Director

b.      Asst. Director

c.       Dept Heads

d.      Branch Managers

e.      Clerks

f.        Pages

g.      Subs

Please email me directly at lisaw at uproc.lib.mi.us
