This article has in excess of 2,500 shares on Facebook. Keep the MAP ball rolling. http://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2015/02/28/michigan-activity-pass-program-expands-state-parks-program-free-admission-special-discount/24191905/ Also, feel free to share this article with any local venue you believe would be a good "fit" for MAP. Local recruitment by libraries works. How do I know? I had been trying to "recruit", without success, a new museum I felt would be a very important partner for MAP. Last week I got an email from the museum itself, asking if they could join MAP. I knew my efforts had nothing to do with this, as too long had gone by since the last time I had contacted the museum. But I was pretty sure I knew the identity of the local librarian who had reached out to the museum, and told them about the benefits of MAP. I emailed the librarian to ask her if that was the case, and she said yes, she had talked to the museum about MAP. Thanks to her efforts, effective May 24 this museum will be one of our new partners in the MAP program: http://www.ferris.edu/jimcrow/values.htm Thank you for your promotion and support of the Michigan Activity Pass program.

Have not seen one in the library either ? we changed our policy right after they came on the market. Evelyn @ Hastings Public Library?Genesee District Library does not allow the use of e-cigarettes in the libraries.? Our action follows the lead of Genesee County, which also bans them in county facilities.?Our patron Code of Conduct prohibits the use of tobacco in the libraries, and we intend to modify the patron code of conduct to read, ?Tobacco or tobacco products,?including all forms of electronic cigarettes, may not be used in the library.??The instructions given to staff in the interim reads, ?Due to health concerns, and following the lead of Genesee County, we will interpret item 1 of the Patron Code of Conduct to include electronic cigarettes.? The use of electronic cigarettes by staff, patrons, volunteers, vendors, workers or other persons is prohibited in all branches of Genesee District Library, and in GDL-owned vehicles.?Darwin McGuireTechnical Services ManagerGenesee District Library4195 W. Pasadena Ave.Flint, MI? 48504810-230-3329 Telephone810-732-1161 FA We added e-cigarettes to the no tobacco policy, which is now a no-smoking/no tobacco policy. The reason is two-fold. First kids do not need to be exposed to this in the library environment. Second there is a vapor that comes from the use of the e-cigarette. So they are not allowed on property at all, including the parking lot.?Jim OliverCharlotte Community Library We added them to our policy last year after we had a lady come in the building and started smoking one. Smelled nasty, like dirty wet socks. She started smoking it while playing Farmville on the computers. She was really irritated with me when I asked her to stop and cut up her library card and left it on the desk for us before stomping out. Guess she planned to water her crops elsewhere!?Here is our policy (It is a simple line on our Patron Code of Conduct policy):15. Tobacco, nicotine products, or e-cigarette devices?may not be used in the library or on library property.?Andrea Estelle,?Library Director?Brighten?the Corner Where You Are?? We just added to our no smoking policy.? With the legalization of marijuana likely to happen and the creation of e-cigarettes, I tried to make the no smoking policy all-encompassing. It's just this one sentence:? The smoking or use of tobacco, tobacco-like products or e-cigarettes is not permitted at any time in the library.

PO Box 67 Mackinaw City, MI? 49701 (231)436-5451 - work(231)437-0739 - cell fax (231) 436-7344 Hello,?Since e-cigarettes are not the same as regular cigarettes, we have it clearly stated in our patron policy that ?no smoking, which includes e-cigarettes?? is not allowed. We do not allow them because they do give off a small discharge of smoke etc and the smoker still has to exhale. It was just simpler to ban them with no smoking policy.?We?ve never had anyone question the policy or try to smoke them here either. Hope this helps.BillieJo BluemerLibrary DirectorRauchholz Memorial Library1140 N Hemlock RdHemlock MI 48626989-642-8621billiejo at rauchholzlibrary.org? Ann mentioned to me that you were interested in how other libraries were handling e-cigarette use. We?just?amended our no smoking policy to include them. Our board was very deliberate about the inclusive nature of the language we used. The policy can be found here: http://www.kpl.gov/policies/smoking.aspx?Let me know if you have any questions. Hi, Lois,Responding off list, as my response is not so interesting. Just using our ?no smoking? policy to ban e-cigarettes at this time. Only had once incident and the patron did not object to being told ?no.? So hasn?t had a robust test yet where a patron makes a fuss.?? ?Lois Hartman Watervliet District Library -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It seems that the only system other libraries in Michigan have used is Evanced (http://evancedsolutions.com/products/#EC ). 3 libraries said that they really liked it and 1 was not impressed, though that was 3 years ago. We've scheduled a webinar with Evanced to go over their Spaces system, which may also help us with booking meeting rooms (there never seem to be enough here). I had thought about sending a query to Publib but have run out of time. If we're not satisfied with what we see, I may extend the net, so to speak. Thanks to everyone who responded!

We are considering opening it up to include business use that does not immediately produce profit (training, board and committee meetings, depositions, public workshops that charge no admission-also we are thinking of allowing admission charges with an increased rental fee). We'd like to prohibit someone from setting up a storefront in the library or from manufacturing something (like a movie) in the library that would be sold at a later date. Recording a deposition or meeting or designing a prototype would be okay in this scenario. If your meeting space policy allows anything beyond non-profit use, can you send me your policy?

The even better news is that there is a quick and easy way to find specific titles in databases or obtain a list of suggested sources by subject (14 preset subjects with 100s of sub-categories). Take a look at the left column at the MeL homepage and you'll see a link for Magazines & Newspapers. This takes you to the Full Text Electronic Journal List search screen from which you can Find e-journals by title or ISSN, Browse e-journals by title or subject, and Search for keywords in e-journals. Not sure of an exact title? Change the search index (by clicking on the down arrow next to "Title begins with") to "Title contains all words" and enter a keyword to produce a list of all publications that contain this keyword. The results of a search include title(s), ISSN, coverage dates, and link(s) to the specific MeL database(s) containing the publication. Coverage can vary among the databases so be mindful of the dates listed for each resource. A link to this e-journals search is also found at the alphabetic list of MeL Databases accessed from the top of the MeL homepage. MeL Minutes are brought to you by the Library of Michigan.

How low can we go? How about 2,400 feet underground, to the seventh level! Beginning May 24, 2015 your patrons can do the same, thanks to our newest MAP partner http://quincymine.com/index.php?main_page=page&id=4&chapter=4 Quincy Mine was known as "Old Reliable" for its long record of dividend paying to the company's shareholders. Old Reliable hasn't produced copper in 70 years. But thanks to MAP, in cooperation with Old Reliable you will soon be able to produce dividends for and with your patrons in the form of a fun and educational opportunity for them. Those who don't have U.P. roots (like I do) may be wondering what the "poor rock" reference in the first paragraph means. Poor rock is the rock that is left over following copper extraction. We would call it "tailings" today. You can still see piles of poor rock around the Keweenaw, and you can find leftover copper in that poor rock, too. I know, on account I've done it :) Thank you for your promotion and support of the Michigan Activity Pass program.

I may be taking several of you up on your offer to field additional questions! Of the eleven responses, most libraries appeared to utilize some combination of outside resources (accounting firm, payroll services etc.) to assist with some financial management tasks or had an internal staff/board member other than the director who assisted with financial management tasks to varying degrees (bookkeeper, office manager, board treasurer etc.). There were three libraries where the directors appeared to assume many financial management duties and two of those three noted that if more assistance with financial management was feasible, it would be a good thing in that it can be very time-consuming. Almost all libraries noted that an independent auditor is hired for their annual audit, which was noted as a requirement per state law. Almost every library utilizing accounting software noted they used QuickBooks and there seemed to be a high level of overall satisfaction with that product. As far as the question of being a district library and having a constituent municipality performing accounting functions, there appeared to be a range of opinions. For instance, one library noted they had been a city library many years before coming district and found that continuing some financial management through the City works well after exploring several other options for financial management, while another library noted keeping financial management separate from a constituent municipality was the more ideal option as it reinforced the district being its own entity and noted other benefits to that arrangement as well. I copied all responses into a Word document if anyone is interested in looking at the cumulative responses. Please e-mail me off list if you would like me to sent you a copy. Again, thank you! Heather 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!)

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!)

I submitted a proposal for a conversation starter on Cultural Intelligence (CQ) Building for ALA annual in San Francisco this summer. As I note in the proposal, "Cultural Intelligence building is a life-long journey, and all can improve their CQ over time. In a world of culture clashes, both inconsequential and deadly, any effort towards cultural intelligence will make an immediate and effective impact." The topic is important, and one that resonates for libraries, as the session I led on Cultural Intelligence at the Michigan Library Association conference this past year demonstrated. The favor? Apparently a third of the decision on whether or not my proposal will be accepted is based on public voting by ALA members. So if you are an ALA member and felt inclined to support my proposal, go to http://connect.ala.org/node/236549 and log in to your ALA account to vote yes. If you're looking for my proposal another way on ALAConnect, it's full title is "A CQ Teaser: Exploring Cultural Intelligence." I would also appreciate it if you would share this request with a few of your colleagues who might also be willing to support my proposal. And if the topic interests you for a staff inservice or training, I would be happy to facilitate a workshop on Cultural Intelligence for you for 1-6 hrs, depending on your needs. Many thanks for your support! Marla -- -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

How low can we go? How about 2,400 feet underground, to the seventh level! Beginning May 24, 2015 your patrons can do the same, thanks to our newest MAP partner http://quincymine.com/index.php?main_page=page&id=4&chapter=4 Quincy Mine was known as "Old Reliable" for its long record of dividend paying to the company's shareholders. Old Reliable hasn't produced copper in 70 years. But thanks to MAP, in cooperation with Old Reliable you will soon be able to produce dividends for and with your patrons in the form of a fun and educational opportunity for them. Those who don't have U.P. roots (like I do) may be wondering what the "poor rock" reference in the first paragraph means. Poor rock is the rock that is left over following copper extraction. We would call it "tailings" today. You can still see piles of poor rock around the Keweenaw, and you can find leftover copper in that poor rock, too. I know, on account I've done it :) Thank you for your promotion and support of the Michigan Activity Pass program.

The Board of Trustees of the Carmel Clay (IN) Public Library seeks a visionary, strategic leader with passion, creativity, and innovation to lead a stellar organization and community forward providing quality services and programs. The CCPL seven-member Board of Trustees is searching for that unique candidate who has the energy and enthusiasm and ability to recognize and contribute to the Library's successes and solid foundation in the Carmel Clay area. The new Director will bring a talent to engage staff and the public in showcasing and expanding the Library's role in the community to include a "library without walls;" a welcoming, warm physical space for Carmel citizens connecting to each other; collaborative external partnerships; and being a strong, clear voice for CCPL. The Carmel Clay Public Library staff serves 86,000 residents through a single 116,000 sq. ft. Library (opened in 1999). With a $6.5 million annual budget, the Library circulated 2.1 million items in 2014 and hosted 2,000+ programs. Carmel, Indiana, CNN Money Magazine's No 1 Place to Live in America (2012), has transformed itself from a sleepy suburban edge city of Indianapolis to a fast-growing, economically-thriving vibrant city that is no longer simply a place to sleep at night. Carmel citizens are highly educated and value Carmel's excellent schools, low taxes, and safe neighborhoods. It is a coveted place to live with distinct areas and architecture. A progressive city government has adopted a new-urbanism approach to planning-attracting a younger population starting out in their careers and a seasoned citizenry who are looking for empty-nester living. The City's approach to walkability has made Carmel one of the most bike-friendly communities in Indiana. You can live, work, shop, and enjoy a high quality of life without a car. Signature attractions include the Carmel Arts and Design District (galleries, restaurants, and shops); the Center for the Performing Arts under the artistic direction of Michael Feinstein, and home for his Great American Songbook Foundation; and the Monon Community Center-an outdoor nature and water park. For more information on the Carmel Clay Public Library and the Carmel Clay area, see Carmel Clay Links. Responsibilities. The Library Director serves as the chief executive officer of the Library and is responsible for the administration of all library functions within the goals, guidelines, and policies established by the Library Board of Trustees.

Prior to April 2, please take a few minutes to follow the link in the upper left corner of each affected database to "Try New Experience" and see the changes firsthand. For further details see: http://solutions.cengage.com/enhancements2015/features/iba=15E-GL0276/ Here is a brief summary of some changes: * All 3 now employ responsive design and should scale to even smart phone size * Menus previously on the left are now on the right * New Interface colors are black/dark grey, white, and an orange (which is considered one of the most "pop able" colors for online design) * The listen feature has been moved on GVRL to make it more visible and used * The list of "Tools" has been reordered to reflect usage from most frequently "Citation Tools" to least "Share" * Design changes are an attempt to establish commonality among the 3 products * The interlinking feature between GVRL and Academic OneFile has been preserved * No functionality has been removed, just relocated in some cases Eunice Eunice C.

Please do not hesitate to share the statement with your library board; library staff; state and U.S. legislators; school superintendents; school administrators; school librarians; and school board members. Thank you. [cid:image001.jpg at 01D05A64.A4A3C4D0] Michigan Library Cooperative Directors Association Statement on School Libraries and Librarians The Michigan Cooperative Directors Association fully endorses the Michigan Department of Education and the Library of Michigan?s support for school library media centers. School media centers are an integral part of the K-12 education for the students in Michigan and provide a thirteen year foundation in teaching and learning. In addition, the MCDA supports the employment of fully certified school librarians/media specialists in every public and private school in the state. Studies show that schools who have librarians working with teachers on curriculum needs and students who receive instruction in library research are not only higher achievers, but are also prepared for higher education and career pursuits. Information and digital literacy skill development are the foundation of excellent school library programs and are vitally important to successfully meeting Michigan?s Common Core Standards. Each student should be able to experience a school media center environment where research and exploration are enhanced by a dedicated school media specialist. Furthermore, the MCDA supports the belief that the ?birth to elder? continuum includes all types of libraries ? school, public, academic, and special - in order to develop and maintain a fully informed community of individuals in our state. Cooperatives recognize that each type of library contributes to educational excellence in Michigan. School libraries and librarians are equal partners in that equation.

You are invited to attend Library Camp: An Unconference on Friday, April 24, 2015: 9:30 am to 4:30 pm. This event is intended for information professionals and graduate students with an interest in libraries. It's an informal unconference-style, intended to gather people to share ideas, technologies, and to spark discussion. This event is free to attend and will be held at the Downtown Library at 343 South Fifth Avenue, Ann Arbor, MI. Click here to register. The goal is to get a bunch of people together, and let them talk about whatever they'd like to talk about, within the rough purview of libraries and library technology. We'll start with a blank schedule and get together to discuss what we'd like to talk about and fill in a few slots on the agenda. We've got time for four sessions and room for at least 4 concurrent sessions, so there could easily be 10-12 different things to talk about during the day. To help jump-start the conversation, we're proposing 4 tracks: Nontraditional Collections, Ebooks & Licensing, Special Events, Summer & Gaming. AADL staff will be on hand to talk a bit about these things at AADL, but like any unconference, the event is led by whoever shows up! Further details: http://www.aadl.org/libcamp15 We hope you can join us, and please help spread the word about this event! See you April 24th!

They have always been very popular and well attended. Find out any ordinances your town may have beforehand, but most say as long as you are not selling it and limited the amount served you are fine. You might also want to check with your liability insurance provider. They sometimes have riders about serving alcohol. Good luck.

I would like to make general estimates down to the day, or even hour. If you have developed a formula or plan to make this kind of calculation, I would love to see it. As per usual, I'm under the gun a bit, and could really use whatever you have by the weekend. Thanks in advance everyone.

Message-ID: <003b01d05da9$7fdadb50$7f9091f0$@ci.dearborn.mi.us> A fun one that a lot of kids have been enjoying with me this spring is Creamed Tuna Fish and Peas on Toast by Philip Christian Stead. It doesn't have a Michigan storyline as written, but the author grew up in Dearborn, MI and lives in Ann Arbor with his wife (Caldecott Award Winner, Erin Stead. He wrote and she illustrated A Sick Day for Amos McGee.) For me this has a bit more of a personal connection, I know the author's parents, sister, niece and nephews. According to Karyl, it's based on a true family story. Her grandfather really hated creamed tuna fish and buried her grandmother's casserole dish in the yard in protest. It's a very funny book. (Oh and a side note for those who might take this to schools, Philip Stead is featured in the Time for Kids March edition, so if the school you're dealing with subscribes, the kids have read about him. ) - Rebecca Rebecca Hermen, Youth Services Supervisor Dearborn Public Library - Henry Ford Centennial Library 16301 Michigan Ave. Dearborn, MI 48126 313.943.2089 -----Original Message----- Message: 1 Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2015 16:59:57 +0000 From: "Simlar, Cathleen (MDOS)" To: "'michlib-l at lists.mcls.org'" Subject: [Michlib-l] " March is Reading Month" Suggestions needed for Secretary Johnson Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Hello, library partners!

Brigette and Alex at TLN have teamed up to redesign the MAP logo. Be sure to take note of our new slogan "Exercise Your Mind and Body to Soar and Explore." Although Brigette's ever popular MAP brochure is still under construction for 2015-2016, on account new venues are still joining MAP every day :), you can now access their posters (available in three sizes, in color as well as black and white, in pdf as well as jpg formats), bookmarks (again, color and black and white versions, pdf and jpg formats), a hot air balloon maze, a word scramble and, to make placement of the MAP brand on your website easy to do, a copy of the MAP logo, too. All of this MAP swag is available at this link: http://tln.lib.mi.us/map/ We are also talking with our MAP sponsors regarding the possible printing and distribution of some MAP promotional materials to libraries. We will have more information regarding this, very soon. 2. We have signed up some exciting new attractions for MAP for the upcoming year. In addition to the 230+ DNR state parks/recreation areas/forest campgrounds/historical sites, here is a sample list of our new MAP partners: BaySail Appledore Tall Ships http://www.baysailbaycity.org/ Quincy Mine Tours http://quincymine.com/index.php?main_page=page&id=4&chapter=4 Mineral Museum of Michigan (A.E. Seaman Mineral Museum) http://www.museum.mtu.edu/ World War II Glider and Military Museum http://www.menomineemuseum.com/glider.htm Cornish Pumping Engine and Mining Museum http://www.menomineemuseum.com/cornish-pump.htm Menominee Range Historical Museum http://www.menomineemuseum.com/museum.htm Krasl Art Center http://www.krasl.org/ Liberty Hyde Bailey Museum http://libertyhydebailey.org/ Iron County Historical Museum http://www.ironcountyhistoricalmuseum.org/ Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia http://www.ferris.edu/jimcrow/ I know you join me in saying a big "welcome" and "thank you" to our new MAP partner venues! 3. Thanks to all of your promotional efforts on behalf of the MAP program, ytd checkouts are up 48% vs last year. Keep up the good work! 4. Finally, one of the most frequent questions I get from libraries and museums is "How do I sign up for MAP?" You all have done a great job of recruiting, as the majority of the new partner venues listed above were as a result of library referrals. Keep it up! And the next time YOU get the "How Do I Sign up for MAP" question from a venue in your community, all you have to do is provide them with a copy of the attached MAP Cultural Attraction Participation Questionnaire, 2015. We are working with our new program sponsors Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, Department of Natural Resources, Cooperative Director's Association and Michigan Recreation and Park Association to create additional promotional opportunities for the MAP program for 2015-2016. Look for a new press release and associated media coverage, very soon. In the meantime we are pretty proud of the article that appeared in the Sunday, March 1, 2015 issue of the Detroit Free Press. Our article has in excess of 4,200 shares on Facebook, nearly as many as "Ndamukong Suh signs with the Miami Dolphins." That's pretty good when you consider that we've never garnered the publicity that comes with stomping on an opponent's foot, or leg. By now I'm sure you've seen the Freep MAP article, or perhaps you've even read it. In case not, or in case you have and are in need of a refresher, here it is: http://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2015/02/28/michigan-activity-pass-program-expands-state-parks-program-free-admission-special-discount/24191905/ Thank you for your promotion and support of the Michigan Activity Pass program.

I am interested in libraries that provide different types of support: office space for the group (if so, is any rent charged), free use of study rooms, copying and faxing service, providing office supplies or staffing, and/or other financial help. I appreciate any and all stories of other ways in which the library is working with literacy organizations. Thanks so much. melissa -- Melissa A.

URL: From aldenlib at torchlake.com Mon Mar 16 14:06:02 2015 From: aldenlib at torchlake.com (aldenlib at torchlake.com) Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2015 18:06:02 +0000 Subject: [Michlib-l] Employee bonuses - results of query Message-ID: I was going to post an attachment but wasn't sure how to do it so it would be available to the list, so here are the results to my request on the listserv for info on how bonuses for staff members are determined at other Michigan libraries, without the submitters' names (and in some cases, shortened to pertinent data) : Each full-time staff member received the same bonus amount. I think it had something to do with the 20% pay for insurance FT staff pay into. The part-time staff received a percentage of the full-time amount based on the number of hours they worked. 1. ?all part-time staff receive a $50 bonus annually and full-time get $100, regardless of level of responsibility, position title, or number of years worked. In addition, during the annual employee appreciation dinner, longevity certificates for full-time employees are given out for milestone years: 5-, 10-, 20-, and 30-years-of-service. Along with the certificate recognizing service there are Chamber of Commerce certificates (so not cash, but money that can be spent at almost any business in the county). I haven't worked full-time long enough to know if these increase with the service years, but at 5-years the recognition was valued at $50.00. 2. My Board decided to enact a 'longevity bonus' system. It is separate from regular wage increases and has four steps at five year increments. The bonuses are for all employees...PT and FT. $250/yr for years 5-9 $500/year for years 10-14 $750/yr for years 15-19 $1,000/yr for years 20+ The Board reserved the right to analyze this annually and determine if funds were available. The bonus is paid with the payroll check that encompasses the employee's anniversary. You could structure this any way your Board would like. It was a nice appreciation when budgets were pretty lean. We do have quite a few employees on the low end, several in the middle two tiers and a couple at the top. I can't say this is the reason for retention, but it helps. _-I wonder what the pay ranges are for your employees, in order to compare them with mine, for an estimate of a comparable bonus relative to pay. Sue_ General starting wages are: Clerk - $10.59/hr (all PT) up to $15/hr Reference Librarian - $16.52 (PT) up to $20/hr Dept. Head - $21.63/hr (FT) up to $25/hr Director - $28.84/hr (FT) up to $32/hr 3. We receive very generous bonuses at Christmas. They are mostly based on years of service and whether they are part time or full time. 4. ?for what it is worth - when I worked for the State [Library of Michigan], they had longevity pay based on hours worked - some sort of formula. It did not kick in until you reached a threshold and then it increased by intervals of additional hours worked. 5. We pay 0.50 for every hour you worked (not including holidays, vacation or anything like that). I get $0.25 per hour my part timers are at $0.50. If it makes any difference they and I have always gotten very positive reviews. In Dorr the board won't authorize paying bonuses but we have a credit card [Citi Bank Thank you Rewards card] that accumilates points so everyone picked a gift card that they wanted and that's what they got. Interest rates are [competitive], but we earn points; the most popular choices here are: Cabela's, Home Depot, TJ Max, Barnes and Noble, Victoria Secret and Kohl's but there also some great restaurant ones as well. It also helps us thank our volunteers who also got a gift card last year. We can get them in $25 denominations. 6. We issue longevity bonuses at the end of each year. 5-9 years $250 10-14 years $400 15 + years $500 This comes to about $2000 in bonuses each year. We are a class 4 library and both full and part time employees are eligible for the bonuses Thank you to all who responded; it helped facilitate the discussion with my board!

I had such a wonderful experience visiting Cape Town and the rest of South Africa during my visit there in April 2013 as part of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Peer Learning Meeting. One of the best experiences I had was visiting Sue Alexander and her wonderful library in Masiphumelele. I was moved by the many wonderful things that she and her staff members do for the community. It was during my visit to Cape Town and her library that I came up with the idea of a professional exchange program between our two libraries, which will take place from May 25 to June 20, 2015. The exchange program will function as a professional training program for two qualified staff members (Emily Meloche from Chelsea, and Nosiviwe Lutuli from South Africa) to advance developmental goals for capacity building, acquiring knowledge, skill, professional contacts, and friendships to help our two libraries broaden their impact as the go-to resource for building a culture of enlightened, engaged, and empowered citizens. Mausiphumelele Community Library is redefining how public institutions such as libraries can strengthen the foundations of community and civic engagement through volunteering, participating in civic and social organizations, participating in public dialogue and problem solving sessions, and working to make a difference in their community. Emily will meet with leading experts in her field across South Africa to gain new insights and approaches to create positive, sustainable change, which she will share with our community upon her return. Through careful study of this program, Emily will be able to strengthen her capacity to influence changes in new ways to our community. We will accomplish these goals by exposing both Emily and Nosiviwe to new practices in their areas of expertise, providing targeted training opportunities, and providing the resources and skills necessary to make informed decisions and implement what they have learned. The program will also provide a unique opportunity for them to learn about life in the US and South Africa through their stays with host families throughout the four week program. Working towards solutions to our challenges together, sharing knowledge, ideas, and experiences on a community level will help support sustainable progress and build stronger communities. Exchange programs are important because library professionals need to be successful in a business world that is globally competitive. A professional exchange is an enriching experience on many levels. It affects both professional and personal development, inspires creative ideas, enhances relationships, and strengthens multicultural understanding. Community and staff alike will experience firsthand different approaches to librarianship, teaching styles, research, and education. Conducting research, working, or teaching in a different environment presents new and rewarding challenges. Interacting with new professionals offers a perspective on your identify as a librarian, teacher or administrator in a global community. At the same time, Emily will serve as an ambassador for Chelsea, laying important foundations for future exchanges and collaborations. The community of Chelsea will also benefit further as we integrate new views and material into our service scope, promote study abroad, practice cross-cultural sensitivity in our daily interactions and lead the way in appreciating the diversity of people and cultures. Please join me in congratulating Emily on her exciting new journey. Sincerely, Bill Harmer Director Chelsea District Library -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In an effort to increase revenue, we are forced to take a look at raising fines and prices for copying. Currently, we charge .20 daily for overdue books, .25 for DVDs, .20 for black and white copies, and .30 color copies. We have a $2.00 price cap on all fines. Here's my question. What do you charge for fines at your library? What is your price cap? How much do you charge for both color and black and white copies? I would also appreciate any ideas to increase revenue.

One of the best experiences I had was visiting Sue Alexander and her wonderful library in Masiphumelele. I was moved by the many wonderful things that she and her staff members do for the community. It was during my visit to Cape Town and her library that I came up with the idea of a professional exchange program between our two libraries, which will take place from May 25 to June 20, 2015.?The exchange program will function as a professional training program for two qualified staff members (Emily Meloche from Chelsea, and Nosiviwe Lutuli from South Africa) to advance developmental goals for capacity building, acquiring knowledge, skill, professional contacts, and friendships to help our two libraries broaden their impact as the go-to resource for building a culture of enlightened, engaged, and empowered citizens.??Mausiphumelele Community Library is redefining how public institutions such as libraries can strengthen the foundations of community and civic engagement through volunteering, participating in civic and social organizations, participating in public dialogue and problem solving sessions, and working to make a difference in their community. Emily will meet with leading experts in her field across South Africa to gain new insights and approaches to create positive, sustainable change, which she will share with our community upon her return. Through careful study of this program, Emily will be able to strengthen her capacity to influence changes in new ways to our community.??We will accomplish these goals by exposing both Emily and Nosiviwe to new practices in their areas of expertise, providing targeted training opportunities, and providing the resources and skills necessary to make informed decisions and implement what they have learned. The program will also provide a unique opportunity for them to learn about life in the US and South Africa through their stays with host families throughout the four week program.??Working towards solutions to our challenges together, sharing knowledge, ideas, and experiences on a community level will help support sustainable progress and build stronger communities.?Exchange programs are important because library professionals need to be successful in a business world that is globally competitive. A professional exchange is an enriching experience on many levels. It affects both professional and personal development, inspires creative ideas, enhances relationships, and strengthens multicultural understanding. Community and staff alike will experience firsthand different approaches to librarianship, teaching styles, research, and education. Conducting research, working, or teaching in a different environment presents new and rewarding challenges.

This book drop would be located at the edge of a street outside. Staff would need to move the returned items in a cart from the book drop into the building. Since we have an automated sorter, staff would then have to feed the returned items into the sorter. If there is any other library out there with a similar situation--with both an external book drop and an automated sorter, but where the sorter is not directly connected to the book drop--please let me know by email.

The conference was held in Sterling Heights, Mich., on Friday, March 13, and Saturday, March 14, at the Sterling Inn and drew attendees from all over the state. A robust lineup of subjects and speakers, expanded content and a new Saturday afternoon event combined to make the conference a roaring success. "Our attendance was up by 35 percent," said HSM Executive Director Larry Wagenaar. "That increase is mainly due to the planning committee's efforts to create content that appeals to a diverse yet history-minded audience." New for 2015 was the Saturday afternoon Gala: Loosening the Laces: The History of Michigan Told Through Fashion. This unprecedented event, presented by Fashion and the Automobile, brought together more than 60 reenactors and models to portray 300 years of Michigan's past. "Our closing Gala was a brand-new event for the conference," added Wagenaar. "From voyageurs and Woodland Indians to Civil War and World War I soldiers and civilians to flappers and Rosie the Riveter, the Gala brought Michigan's history to life like never before." The largest of the Society's three conferences, the Michigan in Perspective: The Local History Conference is open to anyone interested in state or regional history. The conference is held annually in the Wayne/Oakland/Macomb tri-county area. This year's major sponsors were Meijer, the Detroit Historical Society, and the Edsel and Eleanor Ford House. More information can be found on HSM's website: www.hsmichigan.org. The Society also hosts two other annual conferences: the Upper Peninsula History Conference and the Annual Meeting and State History Conference. This year's Upper Peninsula History Conference will be held June 26-28, 2015, in Ironwood, and the State History Conference will be held Sept. 25-27, 2015, in Saginaw. The Historical Society of Michigan is the state's oldest cultural organization, founded in 1828 by territorial governor Lewis Cass and explorer Henry Schoolcraft. A nongovernmental nonprofit, the Society focuses on publications, conferences, education, awards and recognition programming, and support for local history organizations to preserve and promote Michigan's rich history. # # # This e-mail is sent to our members and friends to keep you updated on historical activities and opportunities to learn more about our state's history.

If your schedule allows would you consider helping. You do NOT need to be an expert. If you have never judged before you will be part of a three-person team along with someone who has done it before. It only takes a minute to fill in the online form - and I guarantee you will have a wonderful time speaking with students who are on fire for history!! Larry Larry J.

We would love to have you as a judge! The Historical Society of Michigan will be hosting the State Finals on Saturday, April 25th at DeWitt High School in DeWitt, MI. Judges need to be available from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. You will receive a free t-shirt and lunch for your time and effort. Some of you have judged in the past while some have never judged before. At the beginning of the day, you will receive an orientation to the judging process. The judge orientation serves to inform you of everything you need to know about the competition. We will equip you with evaluation sheets, give you specific directions on how to judge, and make sure all of your questions are answered. This is a great opportunity to interact with students and see some great history projects! As a judge, you will review entries in a given category as part of a judging team. You will get to conduct a brief interview with the students, write comments for the students to review, and help select the finalists. All judge decisions are final. The finalists will advance on to the national level. Judges will evaluate student projects in the following categories: papers, exhibits, performances, documentaries, and websites. Exhibits and performances are evaluated on the day of the competition. Papers, websites, and documentaries are reviewed in advance before interviewing students at the competition. Papers will be emailed to judges, websites will be reviewed through weebly.com, and documentaries will be reviewed through Google Drive. If you plan to judge, you will need to register by March 30th. The online judge registration form can be found on our website at http://www.hsmichigan.org/mhd/judges/. Click on the red link that says, "Click here to register to be a judge for the 2015 competition!" You can also call me at (517) 324-1828 to register. We will confirm you via email in early April and send you detailed event information.

A new feature in the MeL database Books & Authors is both fun and informative when it comes to finding a good book. WHO WHAT WHERE WHEN lets you browse by selecting any 3 from choices under Character, Subject, Location, and Time Period. Type or choose from a drop down menu and watch as the database responds with a visual representation of your search terms. Hundreds of characters (WHO), activities (WHAT), locations (WHERE), and Time Periods (WHEN) can be combined to reveal titles that fit the selected criteria. Combining Alternative Worlds (WHAT), with Michigan (WHERE), and 21st Century AD (WHEN), I find there is a title that matches all 3 criteria! (who would have guessed!) A bonus to this useful search is that the results link to MeLCat so staff and patrons can check availability of their newly discovered treasures. 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.

Your contact will be Frank Boles. Le Roy G. Barnett I have a take on digitization of obits from various newspapers. I used to be the digitization coordinator at WMUs digitization center. Copyright was an issue from many of the papers. They would not give us permission to scan them and put them up on the Internet. I see their point. When you scan them and 'publish' them that is seen as crossing a line. Clipping them and having them in the library is a much lesser thing than putting them online. (we think they were looking at how to get people to come to their websites instead - more visitors means more advertisers . . . ?) We are not sure. This was 8 or more years ago. It my have been that we were helping a smaller library do the project. Just be sure to look at it all the way through before you do all of the work and then cant put it on the web. Even if the paper is no longer publishing, somebody, owns the rights (a parent company, descendants of the owner, etc.) Ask a copyright expert, or get permission in writing - save the paperwork that you 'did due diligence' to ask permission of the correct rights holder. We could not get the rights and it killed the project. It is a big grey area, even if you are not doing it for a profit, it is important. Lou Ann Morgan Communication Coordinator Administration, University Libraries The best obituary index I have seen belongs to the Public Libraries of Saginaw. I think it is a home grown program, go to the Public Libraries of Saginaw website then go to obituaries and try it out. You can contact Trish Burns as far as who owns it and if copies are available. John Sheridan, Vicksburg Farmington Hills writing from alumni account (I read lists from here). We use graphic sciences. They can microfilm too.

Meantime: www.northvillehistory.org and http://www.scanittoday.com/ Mary Carleton I can't say that we've made any decisions about how to progress, but we are more knowledgeable about what needs to be done BEFORE we digitize...

In particular, the ability to customize promotional materials to support Gale products is right on the site. You can add things like your own library's website, QR code and graphic, and then have materials with those customizations such as posters, bookmarks and tent cards printed and sent to your library. This is Gale ProMo that you may already be familiar with and the log-in information is right on the screen. Also available on this site are the direct URLs to all of the MeL databases should MeL and/or MCLS be experiencing down time and you need access to individual databases. Please note that the Gale list of MeL resources is also a very neat and tidy listing of all the MeL databases broken down by vendor in a way that makes it very simple to confirm that you have all of your sTudLYCAps in place for naming these resources on your own site as well as simply learning which products are from where. In addition, all of the database graphics are available on the site in two sizes. You can save the icons over onto your own server space, or Gale provides a link from where they are hosting the icon (along with alt text) that you can simply pick up from clicking on "Icons" in the global navigation bar at the top of the website.

This event is intended for information professionals and graduate students with an interest in libraries. It's an informal unconference-style, intended to gather people to share ideas, technologies, and to spark discussion. This event is free to attend and will be held at the Downtown Library at 343 South Fifth Avenue, Ann Arbor, MI. Click here to register. The goal is to get a bunch of people together, and let them talk about whatever they'd like to talk about, within the rough purview of libraries and library technology. We'll start with a blank schedule and get together to discuss what we'd like to talk about and fill in a few slots on the agenda. We've got time for four sessions and room for at least 4 concurrent sessions, so there could easily be 10-12 different things to talk about during the day. To help jump-start the conversation, we're proposing 4 tracks: Nontraditional Collections, Ebooks & Licensing, Special Events, Summer & Gaming. AADL staff will be on hand to talk a bit about these things at AADL, but like any unconference, the event is led by whoever shows up! Further details: http://www.aadl.org/libcamp15 We hope you can join us, and please help spread the word about this event! Thanks! See you May 8!

I have a few questions that hopefully you'll be able to help us with: 1. One of the lines in our policy states: "All meetings shall be open to the public". Is this a rule you apply to your room rentals, and do you know if there's a law requiring this of meeting rooms in public buildings? 2. If you've had success in smoothing out your meeting room policy, we'd love to hear what you changed that made things easier for staff and/or the community? 3. Finally, if you have a policy for your meeting room that you know works really well, will you share it with us?

A number of people were interested in the results, so here they are. Four libraries had smoke free campuses; three had restrictions based on the number of feet from the building (25 and 50 ft); one allowed smoking on the grounds as long as the smoke didn't enter the building. Enforcement was also a mixed bag, some having an easier time than others. Suggestions for enforcement success included having signage that people actually read(!) and including e-cigarettes in the policy.

Go home, go somewhere else far away from any footage measurement!!!! It is your public library space. Manage it with respect. You do not have to defend this policy, just enforce it. What kind of landscape do you want to display with people smoking measurable feet you have designated from your door at your library. Not a picture or scene I would like to see. Have you seen the research on 3rd hand smoking? At hospitals, there is a no employee smoking at any length, no concessions. We are librarians/researchers, read the e-cig research also. How do you expect to enforce that footage? NO MEANS NO. Use your time to help patrons.UGH.... Re-read your message. It is not a mixed bag. Have boundaries and call it "library policies". Are you really going to spend time seeing if the smoke enters the building? Don't we have better things to address? Just asking some questions. On another note: People will respect boundaries, you just have to set them. My city library always looks very professional and smoke free....and we are across the street from a high school! Now that is expectations of professionalism. Never have I seen even and employee standing or high school student, smoking even near the library property. It can be done.

One library does the work for free but accepts a donation for the work. We charge $1.00 per obit, by the way. Here are nine various responses about charging. In Hastings, the work is done for us by Genealogy Club volunteers. When our staff member mails the material or emails it, we send a letter asking for a donation. Most people respond with $5-$25 depending on the complexity of the request. The money is accumulated in a separate line in our donations report so we know how much we received and the Genealogy Club selects improvements to our collections using those funds. This process was in place when I arrived here 7+ years ago so I do not know how complicated it was to get it started but it continues to work well. Here in Marshall we offer obituary look-up services for free. If it is an extensive research question, we might mention that donations are appreciated. At Dickinson we charge $5 for every 15 minutes of research with a $5 minimum charge. Photocopies/printouts and postage are additional: http://dcl-lib.flolinemedia.net/refsearch This only applies for requests by those outside the library. We do not charge for assisting patrons in our facility regardless of whether they are a card holder. :) Our library charges $10 an hour if a staff has to do the search and the patron must mail us the check plus return postage to send them what we find. We usually don't charge, per se, but suggest "a small donation" to the library, particularly if there is a long list. Our official policy says free for the first hour, then a certain amount (I forget how much - ten or eleven dollars, I think, per hour) after. We do not have the staff to perform obituary searches, nor do we have much of an obituary file to work from. Therefore our general response is that we do not provide this service. If it is a reasonable request with plenty of detail where it is simply a matter of locating the appropriate microfiche roll or newspaper binder, then I will try to perform the search. I don't charge a fee for this if the information can be sent electronically (scan to email). If they stipulate they want prints and mailing, it would cost $.15 per page plus postage. If someone is just casting a wide net as part of a genealogy search and expecting us to do the heavy lifting (for example, do you have any information about John Smith who lived around the St. Louis area in the late 1800's and may have died in Gratiot County, no known middle name, no birth date, and just a rough guess of the year in which they died?), I direct them to contact the Clarke Historical Library or the Gratiot County Historical and Genealogical Society since they both provide genealogy queries and have established fees for the services. We charge only for printing. If the obit may be scanned and attached to an email, there is no charge. We answer all reference questions as time and staff allow. we charge $1 per week of searching, plus 25 cents per copy from microfilm, plus postage. We send a bill with the copies. Researchers must know the date of death. If they don't and we have the microfilm for the appropriate death records, we charge $1 for that search. Otherwise, they may be able to call the courthouse to get the date of death over the phone. Currently we are asking for a donation. A $10 donation pretty much covers lots of non-donation requests. It's such fun knowing all of you are out there ready with answers to everything. Cathy Cathy Sullivan Seblonka Collection Development/Reference Librarian Peter White Public Library 217 N.

If so, the one I'd like to suggest you spend some time in is the Government Gateway http://mel.org/index.php?P=MeLGateways&ParentId=984. This gateway is all things Michigan government and then some. Curious about the RSS feeds available from state agencies and departments? (you will find them in the State of Michigan Forms, Publications and Media classification). How about an A to Z list of online services offered by state agencies which is searchable by department or theme? (this is found in the State of Michigan interactive/online services classification) And this gem, Michigan Codes and ordinances for selected municipalities as provided by American Legal Publishing (found in the FROM local governments classification). Labor Market Information Publications, State Surplus lists, Trial Court Directory, and many more unique resources are all waiting for you in the MeL Government Gateway. 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.

Message-ID: <5515C125.5090909@cromaine.org> The 2015 Big Read at Cromaine Library kicks off tomorrow, Saturday, March 28, at 10:00 am at the Cromaine Library in Hartland. This is the library's seventh Big Read and we are VERY excited since this year we are able to bring author, Tobias Wolff, of the Big Read book "Old School" to Michigan. He'll speak Wednesday, April 22 at 7:00 pm at the Hartland Music Hall. Many thanks to our sponsors--National Endowment for the Arts and Arts Midwest, Friends of Cromaine Library, First National Bank, Hartland Area Chamber of Commerce, Meijer, Walmart, Ranger's 4-H, Livingston Daily and Marketing Impact/PrintComm. Tomorrow, not only will we give away about 250 copies FREE of "Old School" but we'll enjoy the music of the 1960s from our partners the Livingston Women's Chorus from 11:30-12:30. The nine winners of the Big Read Writing Contest will read their works aloud beginning at 10:00 am. And, you can really immerse yourself in the lighter parts of the 60s by playing Twister, Game of Life, painting a paint-by-number kit and dining on the beverage of the astronauts--TANG!--while enjoying appetizers that were faves--grape jelly meatballs, shrimp cocktail, asparagus roll-ups and more! Please be sure to check out our amazing line-up of events at www.cromaine.org. We are fortunate to have three MSU scholars coming--Kirsten Fermaglich to talk about name-changing in the 20th century on April 2, and Stephen Rachmann and Ann Larabee in the April 15 panel called "An Evening with Hemingway, Frost, and Ayn Rand"--right out of "Old School." M.L. Leibler and the "Beatles" will provide an exceptional evening April 17, also at the Hartland Music Hall, with a multimedia presentation (as only Leibler, slam poet and WSU prof can do).

I've collated the answers below and believe I've included everyone. What a great group of colleagues!!! Rebecca Higgerson Director Brandon Township Public Library 304 South Street Ortonville MI 48462 (248) 627-1474 (office) (916) 471-9955 (cell) (248) 627-9880 (fax) We have one of those fancy VOIP systems, made more complicated by all our locations. I'm only writing to let you know that BCS (Business Communications Systems) out of Sterling Heights has not been good to deal with when it comes to service. Part of that is cost, which may be a result of my not having a lawyer look over the contract. The other is response time, which is terrible and at times has taken phone call after phone call. The phones that we have from them are NEC, and the phones themselves are pretty reliable. I understand that Brady's Business Systems from Grand Blanc works with phones as well as the copiers and printers that they've provided for us. Their service is wonderful. I can't say anything about any phone product that they offer, but the printers and copiers that we bought from them are workhorses. Melissa Malcolm Lapeer We are currently in the middle of installing a new phone system. Our tactic was to hire a consultant from Convergent Technology Partners (http://ctpartners.net) to manage both the bid process and project. They were extremely helpful and worth the extra money. The phone vendor we are working with is BSB Communications (http://www.phonesystemssaintclairshores.com) which is a Mitel Phone vendor. So far, we have been very pleased with them as a vendor. We have been training this week and plan to cut over on March 26. Kevin King Head, Branch and IT Services Kalamazoo Public Library We replaced a very old (and dead) system last year. We used Technology Solutions and purchased the Zultys system. We did not have an opportunity to look at other systems, since the phone system died suddenly. We used Technology Solutions when we built the library back in 2003 and we were happy with their service. We've been very pleased so far. I especially like that there is a connection to our computers and we can mark from the computer whether we're at lunch, in a meeting, etc. My contact at Technology Solutions is Kevin Murphy kmurphy at ts-llc.com 1-734-793-6201 Tina L. Hatch, Director Milford Public Library We got a new phone system fairly recently. We used Amerinet out of Ann Arbor. 734-995-1233. We went to a VoIP system. http://www.amerinet.com/ Diane McKee Howell We recently updated from an old PBX style system to a Hybridized VOIP system (it's a proper VOIP system using the old 2 wire cat3 wiring). We used CTS/Unitel out of Ann Arbor as our vendor. Our contact is "Mark Coley" , and they provide mostly a Toshiba based system that we're very happy with. We didn't need a lot of bells and whistles either, and while going through the process, we were offered ALL the bells and whistles. It made sorting out the companies we talked to very easy, as some wanted (even demanded that we needed the bells and whistles to be "modern") to sell us full scale service contractors (any problem? Call us! We'll fix it, and then we'll bill you.) We have caller ID, holds, 4 lines for 27 phones, it will send messages via email when a voice mail is received (easy to use WAV files), as well as do normal voice mail. The menu system is easy to configure and CTS offered to set us up with a fairly reasonable service plan (but we've chosen to go with the pay per issue service). The only "downside" is we'd like a little more flexibility to the auto-close and holiday functionality. Other vendors we spoke with were: CCI Solutions - "Michael Weatherly" Clear Rate - "Bethany Wurtsmith" Premises Systems - "Jonathan Jarvis" SunTel Systems - "Charlie D Mitchell" TDS Metrocom - "Shellee Corwin" Unknown if any of these are still at their respective companies, but they were all very strong companies with a lot to like. We spent awhile choosing which company to go with. Lastly, as I'm sure you're aware, TLN is working on a rather large VOIP solution with multiple vendors, and it would be worth contact Angie Michelini (amichelini at tln.lib.mi.us) if you haven't already to ask for more details on what they're working on. She noted at the TLN Tech Comm meeting today that they expect to do a VOIP demo very soon with a chosen or several identified vendors. Michael McEvoy Northville We haven't done it yet, but have been talking with a gentleman that I trust implicitly when it comes to any IT matters who is not installing Internet based phone systems. His name is Ben Hahaj and his company is called Priority Computer. He can be reached via e-mail or phone. He has two e-mail addresses: ben at pcs4you.com and ben at prioritycomputer.biz. Phone and address: 6561 Lonewolf Drive, South Bend, IN 46628, (574) 236-5979. I'm not sure how far Ben strays from home, but you could check with him. Again, we haven't gone to his phone system yet, but as soon as we can, we intend to. Ben has done a significant amount of IT work for us and he is great. Jennifer Ray Cass District Library We received bids from 9 VoIP vendors. We are in the process of reviewing the bids. Since your library is on cable, I have a few questions. Is your Charter cable connection on a business connection vs. residential? What is your download/upload speed? Since VoIP works over the internet, the connection speed is very important as well as the stability and reliability of the connection. Most of the libraries that are interested in the TLN VoIP solution are on our wide area network and have fiber connections with guaranteed bandwidth speeds. One suggestion is for you to call Charter. I believe they offer phone services. I think Northfield Township Library has been using them for phone service. You may wish to call Zaley Nelson or Marion Beard at that library and ask them about it. Their number is 734.449.0066. Thanks, Angie Michelini Technology Services Manager The Library Network [In 2002 we had phone system bids from Allied Communications (the low at $20,262 and next highest was a little over $2,000 more), REH Associates, Communications Technologies, Suntel, Technology Solutions, CTS Unitel, BSB Communications, ITI, RN Communications and All-Tronics (the high at $39,201.03) I do still have the Request for Bid document, although i know that technology has changed ] For this round we had considered working with Bill Craig at Convergent Technology Partners (http://www.ctpartners.net/), but not quite ready to go that route. Our Township is looking to establish a local phone system, just installed a system with Dynamic Enterprise Solutions. (BearHall is the guy's name, http://www.desi-us.com/) Milford Library put in a new phone system last year. From Technology Solutions , I think. Also, I see that Katie Page, Technical Services Coordinator at Plymouth District Library, had posted a MichLib query re: RFP for phone system in January of 2015 - she may have garnered some info? --- jude halloran, Highland Library We're using some erate money to upgrade our system. We're going with s VOIP Shoetel (sp?) system. Christine Lind Hage, Library Director Rochester Hills Public Library We are facing the same issue in Ferndale. Our phones are currently part of the city's digital system, but they are switching to a VOIP. We are exploring options in terms of getting our own independent system, joining the city's VOIP, or possibly joining the TLN VOIP when that becomes available. I did receive a quote from Mary Ellen of MBM Technology Solutions for a digital system. She can be reached at 248-597-1095. I would be happy to receive recommendations for any other vendors as well.

Discover. Do. The Shreve Memorial Library Board of Control seeks an experienced "dreamer and a doer" to inspire vision while guiding the Library in providing quality services and programs to the Caddo Parish (LA) community. The new Library Director, in collaboration with the Board of Control, staff and stakeholders, will initiate and implement a new strategic direction and future focus for the Shreve Memorial Library. Governed by an eight-member appointed Board of Control and 2 Ex Officio--the Mayor and the Commission President, the Library serves the 255,000 citizens of the Parish with a committed staff (182 FTE), a $17.5 million annual operating budget, and 22 locations. In addition to 20 branches, SML supports a Main Library (on the Register of Historic Places), mobile outreach services, and the soon to be completed administrative/support services building (2015). Library revenues are generated through two dedicated, 10-year renewable property tax levies. This is an outstanding opportunity for an experienced Director to guide a library system with diverse culture, strong public support, and a solid funding base for service and program development. Caddo Parish-the heart of the Ark-La-Tex region-is vibrant, innovative and growth oriented-building a dynamic future on the foundation of its past. The Parish contains eleven municipalities-each with its own local color and style. The largest metropolitan area and Parish seat is the City of Shreveport. Oil and gas have been produced since the early 1900s and continues even today as the area grows its tourism, healthcare and service economy roles. The Caddo Parish School System has approximately 40,000 students and 64 schools. Shreveport also has numerous private, parochial, and charter schools. Caddo Parish is home to LSU in Shreveport, Southern University in Shreveport, Centenary College and the Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center, as well as many public and private grade schools. Shreveport's redeveloped entertainment district is continuing to build on a thriving arts-centric community and hosts a number of festivals and celebrations, including six family-friendly Mardi Gras parades. The Parish also has many venues with which to experience history, music, art, and theater. Shreveport/Caddo Parish is the home of college football's Independence Bowl, the National Rose Center, one of the country's largest Farmer's Markets, the Red River Revel (one of the top 10 arts festivals in the country), the Louisiana Film Prize Film Festival, Sci-Port Discovery Center, and more. For additional information about the Library, Shreveport, and Caddo Parish, visit Shreve Links. Responsibilities. The Library Director has responsibility for administration of the Shreve Memorial Library and directs, plans, organizes and coordinates the operation of the entire library system; develops and recommends policies to the Board; plays a leading role in all funding initiatives; recommends budgets to the Board; develops the overall vision, goals and objectives for the Library; and directs services, programs, personnel, application of policy, and facilities.

But times are changing! Community members now have more choices for books, information, entertainment and assistance.

Discover simple ways to gain attention and increase attendance. Presented by: Jamie Matczak, Nicolet Federated Library System, Wisconsin Can?t attend the live session? Don?t worry.

The Community Connector: Referring Social Services at the Library Tuesday, April 21, 2015 ? 2 pm Eastern / 11 am Pacific ? 60 min Registration: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/community-connector.html Every day, patrons enter libraries around the country with questions about health, housing, employment, counseling and other essential human services. And libraries are there to make these crucial connections for them. Many libraries are now exploring ways to expand their role as connector to community social services through resources such as webpages, mobile apps, and databases. These services might refer somebody to a free meal, legal assistance, support groups, and much more. Join us to hear examples of how referral services and resources have augmented the social services connections that contribute to community vitality.

An Evening With Josh Malerman Thursday, April 2, 2015 @ 7:00 PM Ferndale Area District Library Please join us for an unconventional reading/book-signing by author Josh Malerman this Thursday evening. Malerman, a Ferndale resident and lifelong Michigan native, broke out on the contemporary horror/suspense genre scene last year with his debut novel *Bird Box, w*hich was selected as a 2014 Michigan Notable Book by the Library of Michigan. *Bird Box *also won the James Herbert Award and was short-listed as a contender for the Bram Stoker award for horror writing. This won?t be your average book signing. Malerman, who is also a musician with local rock group The High Strung, said he is cooking up something cool for his author visit to FADL. All fans of horror and suspense novels should mark their calendars for April 2; especially since Malerman?s first round of book tours resulted in audiences raving over his highly engaging and quirky presentation, often employing ambient music and theatrical sound effects. Bird Box (published last year by Ecco Press, a HarperCollins subsidiary), received praise from many esteemed publications including USA Today, The Detroit Free Press and Publishers Weekly. Thursday, April 2 at 7:00pm ? 8:00pm Free / Space is limited ?I hear there?s two types of horror-writers,? said Malerman. ?One will show you the monster while the other leaves the door closed. Well, I?ve discovered that I?m both.? *The New York Times* declared Malerman?s style to be ?? the best kind of horror?where your imagination becomes your own worst enemy.? - Jeff Milo Circulation Specialist Ferndale Area District Library 248-546-2504 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
