Message-ID: Please forgive me if I've already posted this. Patriot Week renews America?s spirit by celebrating the First Principles, Founding Fathers and other Patriots, vital documents and speeches, and flags that make America the greatest nation in world history. Many of our current holidays have become overly commercialized or have lost their deeper meaning. We need to invigorate our appreciation and understanding of America?s spirit. The week is anchored by the key dates of September 11 (the anniversary of the terrorists attacks) and September 17 (Constitution Day, the anniversary of the signing of the Constitution). Co-created by Michigan Judge Michael Warren and his then 10-year-old daughter Leah, Patriot Week has captured the imagination and support of citizens across the nation. Libraries can participate by sponsoring book displays, reading lists, reading groups, book discussions, author presentations, panel discussions, and similar activities connected to the themes of Patriot Week. For more information, visit www.PatriotWeek.org or contact Patriot Week at cbassett at patriotweek.org.

Corporate entities are only behaving like corporate entities when they seek out lower taxes. Tax tribunals, on the other hand, should be considering how lost revenues will effect the good of the state when they allow corporations huge property tax breaks as if they were closed and pay back tax money to them that has already been spent. The state should be considering the good of populace, and they aren't doing that when they decide not to collect taxes from profitable businesses. So I think it is up to us as citizens, not us as consumers, to try to find the answer to this problem. We need to voice our concern to the politicians that appoint the tribunals and the politicians who create the laws that regulate corporations. And in order to get their attention, we need to broadcast our outrage so that everyone understands what is going on here.

Curious about how much you know about the varied MeL Databases? Here are some quick questions that can help refresh your knowledge about the great information MeL Databases offer. Answers will be posted in the MeL Minute box at http://mel.org/ Good luck! 1. Which Kids Gateway database pairs fiction and nonfiction titles in an interactive experience of viewing a recording of the book while it's read aloud? Hint: it includes a rendition of this year's Michigan Reads! title, Do Unto Otters. 2. To successfully debate a topic or prepare an argumentative paper, students need to understand both sides of an issue. Which Teens Gateway database can provide authoritative information to accomplish this task? 3. Which Business Gateway databases can enable entrepreneurs and small business owners to assess their market potential, market share, competition, and sales leads? 4. Content from full text, peer reviewed journals are required for a community college research paper assignment on global theologies. Which MeL Database contains peer reviewed professional journals and reference publications, is updated daily, and offers millions of articles? 5. Although material contained in this resource is not intended to replace your doctor, it can be helpful in informing yourself after an appointment or procedure and in fact, may be one that a professional office will refer you to. Which MeL Health Gateway database is this? So, did you get all of these correct? Of course you did! Enjoy MeL and the Fourth of July holiday. Eunice Eunice C.

The best site to sell on is Amazon, which currently draws the largest number of buyers. Their commission structure is high, but Amazon produces the most sales. Overall, my sales are down substantially. I'm assuming the reason is the increasing importance of ebooks that can't be resold. In addition, prices have come down drastically with the entrance of thrift shops and the library resellers like Better World Books, Thrift Books, and others. Most best sellers get sold for a penny plus shipping. I don't know how these vendors make any money. The big issue is the time that it takes to list and to package/ship the books. While going on vacation is possible, someone needs to be around most of the time to check for orders, package them, and mail them out. Having a reliable Friends group to do this is the best strategy, but I'll strongly stress reliable. I would also only list reasonably expensive items and those with a high Amazon sales rank. I have books that I listed years ago that still haven't sold. Some of the strangest items sell and often at a good price, but it can take a long time. Fortunately, I have a very large basement. To succeed at this business, the library would need to provide excellent service, accurate descriptions, and mailing within two days of receiving the order. I know of some libraries that sell directly, but I don't think that it's overall a good idea unless the library has great books and free labor. Also most librarians don't know which books are valuable and which aren't though checking books with ISBNs can be done by purchasing/leasing a scanning program that quickly evaluates the sales potential. The other option is to find good books with probable sales potential and then sending them to Amazon to ship out when bought. This option has many fees attached including shipping and storage, but I don't know all that much about this choice. One of the vendors that I talked to at the ALA Conferences sells software that mostly automates the process. I can't give any advice on whether libraries consider this product to be a success. I hope this helps. Bob Dr. Robert P.

They've earned $17,000 so far THIS year. It is completely a volunteer operation and none of them had any special training or experience in book selling. Volunteers scan donations to the library and all library withdrawals. The scanner and its software costs us about $400 a year. We recently got a second scanner and because it was the second it was slightly less. The scanner matches the ISBN number against items on sale at Amazon, ABE and maybe a few other databases. If the item pops up as selling on line for more than $10 we list it. A separate team of 4 or 5 people who were self-taught and now train our new volunteers do the listings. We often can find the same book online and don't have to come up with original posting information. We make excellent money on library withdrawals too. Another team of volunteers have someone in every morning that handling the packaging and shipping of materials. We can have anywhere to 700 - 800 titles listed on Amazon at any one time. We list them for 4 or 5 months and then reduce the price if they aren't moving. We have 100% satisfaction rating on Amazon. It is a lot of work, but our volunteers love it. They are able to sell a lot books. I would highly recommend online selling to you.

Amazon is easier to use as long as you have an ISBN number to work with. A lot of books I get are too old to have an ISBN, so I put them on ebay. Its a lot more work because you have to write up your own description, take your own pictures and deal with fees that depend on how many titles you plan on selling. You can set a "Buy it now" price or start with a base price and see how much it will go for-if it is rare enough, the price can go higher than you can imagine-had one that I thought would do well and ended up getting over $1,000. You just can't tell what is going to sell and what will get no bids at all.If anyone has any questions about ebay I would be happy to answer them. Been using ebay for about eight years now, and seems like every couple of years they change the way they treat the sellers-and it hasn't always been for the benefit of the seller. ?Patricia Higo Archive and Special Collections Librarian University of Detroit Mercy 4001 W.

So far we've gotten a great response from libraries in the greater metro Detroit area, as well as on the west side of the state. We could be doing a little better in the U.P., as well as in the southern tier of counties along the Indiana and Ohio border. Other details below. Thanks for playing.

All, Are you IN for the UTR raffle? The entry deadline is only two weeks away (July 12)!!! As of today we've received 104 entries, so not bad, not bad at all. Many of the entries have been accompanied by great anecdotes as to how awesome it would be to have Tom and Jim do one of their SIX programs at your library. On the other hand, Michigan has nearly 400 public libraries, so I KNOW we can do better. Please see details below, and send YOUR library's entry, in the form of a reply to this email to me, by no later than Sunday, July 12. One entry per library, please.

All, Many of you (and your patrons, too) enjoy the Emmy Award winning (yes, UTR just won its THIRD Emmy) television show Under the Radar Michigan. The discounted UTR book and dvd purchase order opportunity was extremely well received by Michigan libraries. Tom Daldin and Jim Edelman are great friends of Michigan libraries, and if you have a chance to attend the MLA fall conference you can meet Tom and Jim, who will be the keynote speakers at the Thursday, October 29 luncheon: http://www.milibraries.org/prof-development-networking/annual-conference/featured-speakers/ In keeping with all of the above, I am very pleased to announce that Tom and Jim of UTR have generously agreed to donate their time to present their program at a total of SIX Michigan public libraries over the course of 15 months, beginning in September, 2015 and concluding in November, 2016. How well received is their program in a public library? Here is what the director of one TLN member library had to say: "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?" Yes, you do. And six of you can. We promised you a raffle, and now it's UTR RAFFLE TIME! We have grouped Michigan public libraries into six geographic regions. One winning library will be chosen from each of the six geographic regions. Each of the six winning libraries will then work with Tom and Jim to come up with a date for a program that mutually works for both parties. Program slots are September and early November, 2015; February, 2016; May, 2016; July, 2016; early November, 2016. The drawing will be held at The Library Network on Monday, July 13. You need not be present to win :) If you would like to enter our Under the Radar Michigan raffle to have a chance to have Tom Daldin and Jim Edelman present a program at your library, please reply to this email by no later than Sunday, July 12. Good luck!

There is an occasional patron who would like further time to finish the book. My questions to you: 1.Do you allow the patron the return the item in the library after the final renewal and then let them have it again, assuming there are no holds? 2.Do you make the patron return the item to the dropbox so he/she must wait 24 hours to check it out again? 3. Do you use any combination of these actions? We are a small library that would like to make sure that all of our patrons get a chance to check out our collection, but at the same time, we don't want to discourage patrons from finishing books they have started, especially if the item isn't in high demand.

Eligible libraries are located within or working in partnership with organizations that serve at-risk youth, such as alternative high schools, juvenile justice organizations, homeless shelters, foster care agencies, teen parenting programs, residential treatment facilities and other nonprofit and community agencies.

There is an occasional patron who would like further time to finish the book. My questions to you: 1.Do you allow the patron the return the item in the library after the final renewal and then let them have it again, assuming there are no holds? 2.Do you make the patron return the item to the dropbox so he/she must wait 24 hours to check it out again? 3. Do you use any combination of these actions? We are a small library that would like to make sure that all of our patrons get a chance to check out our collection, but at the same time, we don't want to discourage patrons from finishing books they have started, especially if the item isn't in high demand.

Landmark victory for school libraries and students today! Does your voice matter? Yes, it does!! It?s official and, incredibly, it?s virtually UNANIMOUS. Thanks in large part to the enthusiastic response to our call to action yesterday , and a boost from mega-author James Patterson, the US Senate today voted 98 ? 0 in favor of the bi-partisan Reed-Cochran Amendment to S. 1177, the Every Child Achieves Act of 2015 ! This amendment will explicitly make effective school library programs part of the Reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. Prior to the vote, both Sens. Jack Reed (D-RI) and Thad Cochran (R-MS) spoke eloquently in support of this amendment and the importance of school libraries. Their work has been invaluable in garnering attention for the important role that an effective school library program plays in a student?s education. BUT . . . while this is an important ?win?, our work is not quite finished. Stay tuned as the bill moves forward! Next steps for this bill will be: continued discussion on the Senate floor, a Senate vote, and then -- once the House has finished work on its own H.R. 5 -- the House and Senate will appoint a conference committee to resolve any disagreements and arrive at a bill that both can agree on. GO school libraries!!! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Apologies for the all caps shout, but I think that's pretty cool! Yes, Michigan's library patrons have now checked out, in the middle of the eighth week of Statewide MAP Year 3, more MAP passes than was the case in the full 52 weeks of MAP Statewide Year 2, which ran May 24, 2014 through May 23, 2015. The pass MAP reservation that put us "over the top" was reserved at Rochester Hills Public Library http://www.rhpl.org/ for the Detroit Institute of Arts http://www.dia.org/ Yea for RHPL and DIA! http://michiganactivitypass.info Just as gratifying to us, if not more so, than the much higher utilization rate of the program, is the fact that we are seeing MAP checkouts all across the state, at libraries where we've never seen them before. MAP and its predecessor program were always extremely popular in the metro Detroit area. It has taken a couple of years for statewide MAP to really take off, but the program is now well on its way to becoming the truly statewide project we envisioned when we launched that trial MAP balloon in May, 2013.

See below for more info or register online: http://www.cvent.com/events/the-harwood-ala-public-innovators-lab-for-libraries/event-summary-ccaa319151c541a7b81cc9ec75579d23.aspx ***** ALA, Harwood Institute announce Public Innovators Lab for Libraries community engagement training opportunity http://www.ala.org/news/press-releases/2015/07/ala-harwood-institute-announce-public-innovators-lab-libraries-community The American Library Association (ALA) and The Harwood Institute for Public Innovation have announced an intensive three-day training opportunity to help libraries strengthen their role as agents of positive change in their communities. The Public Innovators Lab for Libraries will be held Oct. 14 - 16 at the DoubleTree Detroit Downtown ? Fort Shelby. Librarians, community partners and stakeholders in libraries of all types ? public, academic, school and specialty libraries ? are encouraged to register. Through discussions, hands-on activities and collaborations with like-minded library professionals, participants will learn to: tap libraries' natural values to contribute to the greater good and bring their communities together; surface people?s shared aspirations for their communities through conversations and help bring them to life; and use that knowledge to create programs and strategies to address challenges people care about and make the community stronger at the same time. Participants must register online by Oct. 2. The cost is $1,495 for the first person from an organization and $995 for each additional person. Team participation is encouraged. For more information, visit ala.org/LTC. The ALA-Harwood Institute partnership is based on the idea that libraries, by virtue of their trusted position in their communities, are uniquely suited to help solve challenges of all types, from literacy to drug epidemics to distrust in government. The Public Innovators Lab for Libraries will be based on Harwood?s ?turning outward? approach, which emphasizes making the community the reference point for getting things done. This shift in orientation is achieved through practical steps: taking measures to better understand communities; being proactive about community issues; and putting community ambitions first. The lab was recently enhanced to be even more hands-on, applied and practical. In May, nearly 300 Texas librarians participated in three new labs through a partnership between The Harwood Institute and the Texas State Library and Archives Commission. Libraries and library professionals around the country are already using The Harwood Institute?s approach to: lead conversations with community members to better understand the kind of community they want and the challenges they see; bring stakeholders together to get past gridlock and work on issues that matter to people; improve library programming to be more relevant and connected to the struggles people face; and better connect with underserved and often invisible populations in communities. The Public Innovators Lab for Libraries is offered as part of the ALA?s Libraries Transforming Communities (LTC) initiative. The initiative addresses a critical need within the library field by developing and distributing new tools, resources and supportfor librarians to engage with their communities in new ways. About the American Library Association The American Library Association is the oldest and largest library association in the world, with approximately 58,000 members in academic, public, school, government and special libraries. The mission of the American Library Association is to provide leadership for the development, promotion and improvement of library and information services and the profession of librarianship in order to enhance learning and ensure access to information for all. About The Harwood Institute The Harwood Institute for Public Innovation is a national nonprofit organization based in Bethesda, Md., that teaches and coaches people and organizations to solve pressing problems and change how communities work together. The institute is guided by Richard C. Harwood, whose transformational work during the past 25 years has spread to thousands of communities nationally and worldwide, from small towns to large cities. _______________ Sarah Ostman Communications Manager Public Programs Office American Library Association 312-280-5061 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This is an exciting opportunity for those of us who are involved every day in promoting and advocating for our libraries, and who among us isn't!? We will be making our big announcement about keynote speakers soon, so I'll follow-up with additional information next week! Thank you for your consideration of this sure-to-be-fantastic conference! Library Marketing and Communications Conference Dallas, TX, Nov 3-4, 2015 Crowne Plaza Dallas Near Galleria-Addison Organized by the Library Marketing and Communications Group Sponsored by Amigos Library Services ABOUT THE CONFERENCE This conference is designed for library employees of any level who are involved in marketing, communication, public relations, social media, and outreach in academic, public, and special libraries. The sessions will explore issues that are important for this niche of library work, and the conference will include time for attendees to network and to discuss mutual challenges. This new event is an outgrowth of four previous meetings. Kieserman Media began the Association of Library Communications and Outreach Professionals (ALCOP) and ran conferences of the same name near Philadelphia in 2011 and 2012. That group ran the same basic show, renamed the Library Communications Conference (LCC), near Philly in 2013 and in New Jersey in 2014. When its leader, Bob Kieserman, decided to stop organizing the conferences, a group of former attendees decided to reboot and relaunch them. Those of us in the budding Library Marketing and Communications (LMC) group believe that library workers deserve a small event that's geared specifically toward the necessary work of marketing communication (MarCom), which includes public relations, social media, branding, and related topics. We feel that, if more library employees improved these skills, then all types of libraries would be in better positions to have their messages heard and to have their services well-used and appreciated. The Program Committee of the Library Marketing and Communications Conference (LMCC) is interested in receiving proposals for presentations that apply the latest trends, best practices, and research in the field while providing practical tips that can be immediately applied to any library's communication and marketing program. CALL FOR PRESENTATION PROPOSALS Submission Deadline: July 15 Notification of Presentation Approval: August 10 Fill out Form here: http://bitly.com/lmcc2015 For more information about the conference: http://www.amigos.org/lmcc Although not limited to these areas, topics of interest include: 1.

I've written about pop culture for a number of publications including The Huffington Post and Los Angeles Times Hero Complex. I've also worked as a writer/producer for National Geographic's *Brain Games.* *How to Be a Superhero*, my book about superheroes and the actors who play them, just launched. David Mamet wrote the foreword. I was wondering if you would consider ordering the book for your library. My aunt (who works at a library) told me that many libraries are doing a summer reading program based on "heroes." She thought my book would be relevant to all your patrons and that it fits all the inter-related themes -- Every Hero Has a Story, Unmask! and Escape the Ordinary. Even if you're not doing this particular program I think the book might be of interest. The pre-pub press for *How to Be a Superhero* has been excellent: "This superpowered collection of more than 40 original in-depth interviews explores the role of superheroes in pop culture.... In his impressive debut, Edlitz interviews actors who have played parts in shaping modern America's quintessential mythologies: the superhero universe.... [The author's] lengthy introductions to each interview are packed with enough background info and trivia to please even hard-core fanboys.... Edlitz's insightful questions also explore weightier topics such as religion, mythology, race, and the nature of heroism.... [An] all-out victory." -- Kirkus "Edlitz probes to the heart of the matter with these performers, getting their take on the philosophy of their particular superhero...With a full slate of interviews, Edlitz charts the influence of the culture of the times on the portrayals of superheroes, as well as the evolution of women?s roles." -- Foreword Reviews "How to be a Superhero makes for great reading, Edlitz's questioning smart and insightful. His subjects play along well, giving considered and equally insightful answers. A cracking read full of great personalities and personality." -- Starburst Magazine "As complete a source as one might hope to find." -- ComicMix How to Be a Superhero is available through Ingram and Amazon . This is my first book and it's being published by an independent publisher. So, we could really use your support! I can be reached via MarkEdlitz at gmail.com. I look forward to hearing from you.

The book was named Reviewer?s Choice by Midwest Book Review, recognized by Writer?s Digest Self-Published Book Awards, and placed on the recommended reading list of the Military Writers Society of America. The book?s introduction, letter excerpts, photo gallery, and reviews are available at http://www.athousandlettershome.com/. Library bulk-order pricing: hardcover $18 and softcover $13.20. Books will be shipped and invoiced to TLN, and delivered via either TLN or RIDES delivery. Please provide your RIDES delivery number. Please send us your orders by no later than Friday, August 7, 2015. Now and then I pull out my father's collection of WWII letters that he wrote and sent home to my grandmother. He could never say where he was (island hopping through the South Pacific) or what he was doing (loose lips sink ships). I've not read the ATLH book, but I suspect it is similar to what my father sent home. The Greatest Generation is quickly slipping away, so these memoirs are becoming increasingly important. Again, please send us your orders by no later than Friday, August 7, 2015. Thanks.

Message-ID: <00db01d0bd61$5f6a1710$1e3e4530$@gossagesager.com> Tuscaloosa Public Library (AL)-Executive Director Position Closes July 19! Think Tuscaloosa - Spirit, Energy and Passion! The next Tuscaloosa Public Library Executive Director will embody these traits and lead a spirited, energized, and passionate staff alongside its Board of Trustees as TPL embraces its role as a vital community partner and leader. The Trustees seek an executive director who can successfully create, connect, and collaborate with internal and external constituents. TPL is poised to move forward developing a new shared vision of library services and programs for its residents serving the City of Tuscaloosa, Tuscaloosa County, and the City of Northport. Governed by an eleven-member Board, the Library serves its 201,872 residents with a dedicated staff of 53.5FTE and a $3.9 million annual operating budget from a Main Library, two branches, and an active outreach program. Combining Southern hospitality, progressive government, and unparalleled growth and development, Tuscaloosa is a truly livable community. Named one of the South's "15 Hip and Historic College Towns" (Convention South Magazine, 2013), it is a city that values education, recreation, arts and culture, history, and local flavor. The fifth largest city in Alabama, Tuscaloosa is located in West Central Alabama on the Black Warrior River. It is a delightful, diverse and vibrant area with three institutions of higher education, including the University of Alabama-home of an ALA-accredited School of Library and Information Studies, Stillman College, and Shelton State Community College. The area is a big community with small town charm at heart that welcomes new residents, students and faculty from around the world and features an international manufacturing base (the home of Mercedes-Benz U.S. International). For 43 years, Northport has hosted the nationally recognized Kentuck Festival of the Arts. Other attractions include a symphony orchestra, the Tuscaloosa Amphitheater, and six museums as well as a variety of outdoor activities at many area lakes and parks. Tuscaloosa offers the benefits of smaller community living with access to the amenities of a major metropolis, being located 50 miles from Birmingham and three to four hours from Atlanta, Nashville, and New Orleans. To learn more about Tuscaloosa, the Library, and the community, see Tuscaloosa links . Responsibilities. Under the direction of the Board of Trustees, the Executive Director provides strategic, visionary and inspirational leadership. The Executive Director is responsible for the operation, programing, budgeting, planning, personnel and administrative management of the Library.

What a timely question. With hacking, phishing, scamming, and all manner of mischievous and malicious online activity at an all-time high, I wanted to make sure that MeL was offering some resources that address this topic. Here's what I can point out: * MeL Database LearningExpress Library's Computer Skills Center and School Center contain 11 different lessons on the internet - introduction, using web tools, surfing, etc. * MeL Kids Gateway under Homework Help includes www.kids.gov which has a section on Online Safety that offers several resources including Protecting your information - Security Plaza from the FTC and Is It True? from the FCC. * MeL Books & Literacy Gateway under Digital Literacy has several resources listed. GCF Learn Free, has online safety in general and for kids specifically. In the same section, www.OnGuardOnline.gov is also informative. So, as Sergeant Phil on the TV show Hill Street Blues used to say, "Let's be careful out there". 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 or visit mel.org. We encourage you to share MeL Minutes with your public service colleagues. Eunice Eunice C. Borrelli Michigan eLibrary Internet Librarian, Library of Michigan/Michigan Dept. of Education 702 W.

Their publishing house (Two Canoes Press) is closing, and the titles will be available under a different imprint in the future. They are authors Priscilla Cogan and grandfather Duncan Sings-Alone. Attached is a list of the works they are offering free of charge to libraries (or school libraries if you would like to share with your local schools). If you will return email me which titles you would like, and the number of each if more than one, I will send them off via RIDES.

All is well from mile 346 of the AT. Really enjoying the hike. I'm wondering if you can access the forum that all the librarians use to contact each other and spread news. First, I wanted to thank all the Program Directors that asked me to speak. I think I've given that talk more than a dozen times now and I enjoy every time. They all gave generously to groups like the Michigan Trails and Greenways Alliance and it is much appreciated. Second, I'd like all of them to know that I'm back out on the trail for a few months and I won't be available for presentations. Several of them have contacted me asking if I'm available. I'm not only 'not available' but I don't even know when I will be! Honestly, I'm flattered that they ask but I just don't know when I'll be back. Rest assured, I'm out here enjoying new experiences and gathering stories to add to my talk. I have to walk the walk before I can talk the talk! If you can do this for me, great. If not, no big deal. Please let me know if it works out. Thank you! Chris -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

TLN recorded the festivities, edited footage coming soon, and a great time was had by all. We are very pleased to share with you the names of the libraries that were drawn for the first two UTR programs. Drum roll, please: 1. For the November, 2015 UTR program, the winning library is...Grace A. Dow Memorial Library in Midland! 2. For the February, 2016 UTR program, the winning library is...Peter White Public Library in Marquette! For those 100+ libraries whose names were not picked from one of our two custom crafted cardboard boxes, festooned with UTR and TLN logos, in round one, fear not! Round two is yet to come! Yes, we will be drawing the names of FOUR additional libraries at this year's Michigan Library Association annual conference in Novi. Date and time of the MLA drawing is TBD. You need not be present at MLA to win, although we hope to see all of you there. And don't forget, Tom and Jim of Under the Radar Michigan will be the keynote speakers at the October 29 luncheon http://www.milibraries.org/prof-development-networking/annual-conference/featured-speakers/ Get your tickets now! Congratulations to Grace A. Dow Memorial Library and Peter White Public Library.

As a result of their vision and leadership, these libraries have established or deepened local partnerships to bring meaningful health services to their communities, through programs such as a local cooking competition and a multi-week health management series, among others. WebJunction, along with our partners from ZeroDivide, recently had the opportunity to highlight the motivating work of each library through a poster session at the American Library Association (ALA) Annual Conference in San Francisco. We were thrilled to be joined by representatives from two of our participating libraries, St. Charles Parish Libraryand Wilkes County Public Library. We will soon produce comprehensive case studies of all five library engagements for publication at WebJunction.org during the summer. In the meantime, we invite you to review and share the poster itself for inspiration on activities and partnerships that can engage your community in health. Feel free to also access the complementary resources that accompanied our poster at ALA. These include a communications guide about the role of libraries in supporting community health, as well as learning pathways on how to develop health literacy, support healthy communities, and understand ethics and privacywhile providing health information and services at your library. If your library is supporting community health, or if you have questions or ideas about this topic, shoot us an email or share your ideas on Twitter using the hastag #libs4health! sdw ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Shannon D.

If you are looking for resources to help recruit and hire be sure to review the new toolkit available from the Continuing Education Connector Project, a project from the Chief Officers of State Library Agencies. The Trustee Toolkit: Hiring a Library Director is intended for use by library board members or trustees who are faced with the important task of hiring a new leader to run their library. The need for a comprehensive resource was addressed by creating this user-friendly toolkit. Hiring a director is one of the primary responsibilities of many boards. A process is important for success, setting a trajectory for the future course of the library and the community it serves. While the hiring process may be prescribed by local state and municipal laws and rules, the toolkit materials were created and selected because they apply broadly to most situations. Sample tools and templates are a starting point for boards and are intended to be modified for local use. The resource includes many templates, including sample job descriptions, recommended interview questions, and a sample offer letter. The toolkit offers a checklist and sample resources such as a timeline, sample job descriptions, job ads, interview questions, reference check form, sample letters and more. The resources are available online at: http://www.cosla.org/content.cfm/id/trustee_toolkit_hiring_a_new_library_director sdw ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Shannon D.

And, (BIG) New Venue Coming!!! In-Reply-To: <1771271476.20552440.1437570001261.JavaMail.root@tln.lib.mi.us> Message-ID: <1686768671.20598955.1437591860751.JavaMail.root@tln.lib.mi.us> All, Beaver Island District Library recorded its first ever MAP checkout this week! https://islandlibrary.ploud.net/ So did Portage Lake District Library in Houghton http://www.uproc.lib.mi.us/newpldl/ Yea for BIDL and PLDL! It is great to see that patrons are discovering the MAP program all over the state, even on the islands. And speaking of island usage and MAP checkouts, Calumet Public School Library http://www.clkschools.org/library has had a number of checkouts, too. Remember, their location north of the Keweenaw Waterway (technically) puts them on an island too, so... Speaking of discovering the MAP program, here is a comment from a library patron that Brigette shared with me. The patron posted the comment to our MAP Survey Monkey page https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/map201516 "What an amazing program!!!!! To each and every one of you that are keeping this program going my children and I thank you!!!!! We had so much fun, got out of the house and discovered new places that we didn't know about!" The "each and every one of you" is, of course, you. In fact, Year 3 of MAP kind of reminds me of the Carpenters performing We've Only Just Begun, without the two hippies strategically positioned on top of the "O" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__VQX2Xn7tI MSU Extension Service was impressed with MAP, too, calling it "Perhaps one of the best deals of the summer" http://msue.anr.msu.edu/news/michigan_summer_adventures_for_families I would have left off the Perhaps, perhaps, but I am perhaps slightly biased in that regard. Additional MAP promotion is coming. Via our partnership with the Under the Radar Michigan team we will be sharing weekly MAP news with their Facebook page, which has in excess of 50,000 likes. Look for that to begin soon. And speaking of UTR, wait until you see the video we made starring Tom Daldin, in which he gives a HUGE shout out to Michigan libraries, complete with the MAP banner prominently displayed in the background. The video is in the editing stage, and we look forward to sharing it with you very soon. Among the many improvements to the MAP program this year, ranking near the top is our ability to share checkout stats with libraries. In early July the first batch of stats, which covered the last week of May and the month of June, was sent to the directors of Michigan's 11 library cooperatives, who in turn shared those stats with their member libraries; as well as to the directors of TLN libraries, who in turn shared those stats with their library staff. We will continue this practice on a monthly basis. And speaking of stats, here is one that we believe really demonstrates how popular MAP has become this year. Last year, the MAP website had a total of 282,477 hits. Those are pretty good numbers, although there is always room for improvement. Thanks to a lot of great promotional work by our sponsors as well as by library staff across the state, I am pleased to report that as of this morning the MAP website has had a total of 189,133 hits since our May 24 go live. That's about 67% of last year's total number of hits, in just under two months! What will the final number be next May? I don't know, but it would be totally awesome to surpass last year's total number of hits before this year's Labor Day holiday. In fact, at the present rate of usage we should have DOUBLE the TOTAL number of last year's MAP checkouts, about the time we reach the Labor Day holiday weekend. Are there potential MAP partners lurking in your community??? Remember, public libraries and public library staff are the best assets and best ambassadors in any community. Yes, MAP is underway. But that doesn't mean new partners can't join the program. If you know of potential partners that you would like to recruit, please share the MAP questionnaire http://tln.lib.mi.us/cultural/files/MAP%20cultural%20attraction%20participation%20questionnaire%202015.pdf with them. Interested venues need only complete the questionnaire, and return it to either Brigette or myself. If you've managed to read this entire message and stay awake, especially sans coffee, congratulations! Your reward is the second part of the subject, the new venue coming on board. Yes, we have a new partner that will be joining the MAP program. They are scheduled to go live with the MAP program on September 28. I can't tell you who they are yet, but I can tell you it is a BIG ONE! Thank you for your support and promotion of the Michigan Activity Pass program.

The campaign is organized in five phases: Plan Your Campaign, Create Awareness, Generate Engagement, Encourage Action, and Sustain the Momentum. Apply each phase of the campaign sequentially so that it gains momentum and makes an impact. If you have done advocacy work in your library, we also encourage you to take part in our video contest by showcasing some of the work you've done in your community.

While each database has a unique and colorful button representing the subject covered in the resource along with its name, the button for internet sites has been a generic green or gray background with "www" inside a globe - until now. Because one of the tenets of the Michigan eLibrary Collection Development Strategy is to include authoritative resources that focus on Michigan and the needs and interests of our residents, we now have a button that clearly identifies an internet resource as a Michigan website. Work is underway to review every internet resource listed in MeL and to apply the Michigan website button as appropriate. As you move among the MeL Gateways, we hope you'll note the quality and quantity of great homegrown information provided by Michigan organizations, schools, businesses, libraries, and government agencies and how they meet your information needs. 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 or visit mel.org.

Soon after Shawn posted the compiled responses we received a fax from a company called "ELMUSA." (http://www.elm-usa.com/#metro_page ) They supposedly send out an RTI ECOPro2 at no cost... no contract... no minimum usage requirement, and you pay them only for the discs we repair. The cost per disc is also significantly lower than what we currently pay our local video store to do. We've considered purchasing a machine directly in the past, but I just didn't think we had quite enough volume to make it a cost efficient purchase. Plus, space is always a consideration, but that is something we can potentially work around. My inquiry is twofold. Have any of you had any dealings with ELMUSA and, if so, were they good? bad? Second, if we were to do this, how loud is the ECOPro2? Can it sit behind a circulation desk and run without too much disruption (if it's only used periodically)?

Before moving forward with programs, actions, or recommendations, the members of the Task Force on Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion believe it is important to understand the culture of the association, the profession, and our communities with respect to equity, diversity and inclusion. These short surveys are an opportunity to include input and ideas from the professional community while complementing the rich data collection efforts of the larger association. The Task Force recognizes that incidents of racial bias and injustice continue to occur across the country on a regular basis. This survey, however, focuses on planned attendance in Orlando (the location that prompted the creation of the Task Force), but that will have implications for future ALA conference locations. This survey is brief and intended to gather information based on your thoughts regarding conference locations as well as to follow up on responses from the first survey. The survey can be accessed at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/tfedi2. Responses will be collected through Aug. 15, 2015. ALA members and nonmembers are encouraged to participate. 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.

Do you label your kits beyond the library name? For example, good for fine motor development, builds vocabulary? We are an ECRR library so we are wondering if we should label our materials as TALKING, SINGING? One idea we have is to put parenting tips on our educational resources instead of clinical terms.

Unfortunately House emails only accept emails from constituents in their own district. I had to contact my Representative and request he share his views with her. I included the EFF article, https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/07/copyright-office-belongs-library , explaining why the separation of the Copyright Office works against the public interest and Public Domain. Its a touchy issue with me as Sonny Bono's legislation changed 20th Century Public Domain and its intent was more to keep Mickey Mouse out of P.D. than P.D.'s intent to maintain our cultural heritage. (Stating it moved us in line with international copyright overlooks the litigious nature of U.S. publishing compared to other countries.) For something more pleasant, read occasional P.D. stories within my weekly blog, , as the segment, "Keeping the Public in Public Domain", is often featured there. I include this statement: This is part of a series of postings of stories under the category, "Keeping the Public in Public Domain." The idea behind Public Domain was to preserve our cultural heritage after the authors and their immediate heirs were compensated. I feel strongly current copyright law delays this intent on works of the 20th century. My own library of folklore includes so many books within the Public Domain I decided to share stories from them. I hope you enjoy discovering new stories.

The book was named Reviewer?s Choice by Midwest Book Review, recognized by Writer?s Digest Self-Published Book Awards, and placed on the recommended reading list of the Military Writers Society of America. The book?s introduction, letter excerpts, photo gallery, and reviews are available at http://www.athousandlettershome.com/. Library bulk-order pricing: hardcover $18 and softcover $13.20. Books will be shipped and invoiced to TLN, and delivered via either TLN or RIDES delivery. Please provide your RIDES delivery number. Please send us your orders by no later than Friday, August 7, 2015. Now and then I pull out my father's collection of WWII letters that he wrote and sent home to my grandmother. He could never say where he was (island hopping through the South Pacific) or what he was doing (loose lips sink ships). I've not read the ATLH book, but I suspect it is similar to what my father sent home. The Greatest Generation is quickly slipping away, so these memoirs are becoming increasingly important.

First, I wanted to share some information with you regarding MAP partner SEA LIFE Michigan Aquarium https://www.visitsealife.com/michigan/ When after a considerable amount of "recruitment" on our part we received word that SEA LIFE Michigan Aquarium was joining the program, we were very happy. We also knew it would be the most popular destination in MAP. Indeed, that is the case. So it probably goes without saying that the destination that leads the way in terms of MAP pass checkouts, is also going to lead the way in terms of the number of questions, too. The most common question involves a situation where SEA LIFE Michigan Aquarium advertises that it is "Sold Out" for a certain period of time on a certain day. Please note that your patrons can still purchase discounted tickets to SEA LIFE Michigan Aquarium using their MAP pass, even when the "Sold Out" sign (electronic or not) appears. Here is what Erik Schreefel, Marketing Manager at SEA LIFE Michigan Aquarium, had to say regarding this: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hi Jim, If a guest has a MAP pass, they are able to purchase tickets even if we are "sold out" -- I will make sure that our Admissions manager reiterates to the staff that individuals with MAP passes are able to purchase tickets even when we are "sold out". ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I'm probably dating myself here, but a certain credit card company for many years saturated the airwaves (no online in those years) with ads that stated "Membership has its privileges." Well, so do MAP pass holders!!! Onward and upward, to MAP stats and website hits. I know all of you have committed to memory the total number of hits we garnered on the MAP website last year. But as it is still pretty early in the morning, meaning that second cup of coffee hasn't kicked in yet, I'll share that number with you again (282,477). By comparison, MAP has taken off at such an enormous clip this year that as of this morning we have had a total of 202,689 hits on the MAP website in the just a bit over two months since program go-live! At this rate we should blow by last year's total before Labor Day. And the number of hits to the MAP website will soon after that surpass the number of miles I had on the odometer of my car that I traded in (332,615 and yes, somebody bought my old car off the used car lot the NEXT DAY. In fact, I saw somebody driving it on a road near my house not long afterwards. There isn't a lot of traffic on said road, and after spending so many years around that car, I could spot it from a good distance away). Beyond that, who knows? And as far as MAP checkouts go, a bit more than two months into MAP Year 3 you have circulated 152% of the total number of passes you circulated in the twelve month period of MAP Year 2! Keep up the hard, good work, everyone. Thank you for your continued support and promotion of the Michigan Activity Pass program.

Highlights how your library is relevant to people?s lives ? Represents your local community ? Is active versus passive ? gets people engaged ? Is extraordinary and unexpected ? Most importantly, is fun!

Message-ID: Tobin Buhk is an excellent program for libraries, and is reasonably priced! We enjoyed his presentations so much we have had him back twice! He has several programs to choose from. Tobin T. Buhk is a freelance author specializing in true crime. To research his first book, *Cause of Death* (Prometheus Books, 2007), he volunteered in a county morgue, watching as his co-author, Kent County Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Stephen D. Cohle, unraveled puzzling forensic mysteries. A second collaboration with Dr. Cohle resulted in *Skeletons in the Closet *(Prometheus, 2008). Buhk's love of history and fascination with true crime led to *True Crime Michigan* (Stackpole Books, 2011), *True Crime in the Civil War* (Stackpole, 2012), *The Shocking Case of Helmuth Schmidt* (The History Press, 2013), and *Strychnine Saint* (History Press, 2014).

Be sure to join this WebJunction webinar on August 13 to find out more. Two of our Michigan library director colleagues will be contributing to this webinar as well. (WebJunction webinars are also archived and available for later viewing.) Because Advocacy Never Stops: New Tools for Taking Action Thursday, August 13, 2015 - 2 pm EST - 90 min Registration: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/because-advocacy-never-stops.html This webinar will highlight free, newly revised downloadable materials for public libraries distilled from landmark advocacy and awareness-building programs. Learn about two resources scheduled for release in summer 2015: updated curriculum from Turning the Page including tools, worksheets and training materials you can adapt locally to grow your team's advocacy knowledge and abilities; and a new online guide that walks through each step of planning and carrying out a local library awareness campaign modeled after Geek the Library. Hear from library leaders who have put these ideas to work to build advocacy know-how, increase staff confidence, and engage more deeply with the community. Whether you are looking to get started, or seeking to maintain momentum following a recent advocacy effort, join us to discuss strategies to take your library to the next level.

We really appreciate that so many people think of us, but we do feel an obligation to our community to make sure we are providing quality programs on topics that address our users' needs and interests. We would like to develop some sort of application for those wanting to present programs so that we can get a better view of what they are proposing and have answers to questions about intended audience, affiliation and level of expertise of the presenter, and references if available. We think this might go a long way to helping us keep track and fairly evaluate the potential programs that come our way. Does anyone else have something similar that they use? If you would be willing to share along with any information about how this works for you, I would greatly appreciate it.

It is a way to visualize words and subjects found in the text of search results and can be displayed as a wheel or tiles. Clicking on a wheel or topic displays documents that contain the specific topic or word being searched for. While this sounds pretty straightforward, the beauty of Topic Finder is how it provides links to topics you might not even realize are related to your original search and gives information you didn't even know to ask for. Here's an example. Dwarf planet Pluto has been in the news lately so I thought I'd do a quick search using Topic Finder and in addition to the obvious results for NASA and Space Probes, I got results for Eris, Dr. Showalter, and the International Astronomical Union. Eris? Never heard of it but now I know it's the "...new permanent name for the solar body formerly known as Xena," and as for Dr. Showalter from the SETI Institute, he and a colleague calculated the orbits of four smaller moons around Pluto. Both of these are directly related to the Pluto adventure and Topic Finder showed me the connection. (These results were obtained doing a search in the New York Times. Experimenting with other Gale databases yielded similar but different articles.) Keep exploring and learning! 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 or visit mel.org.
