As many of you may know, I am succeeding Deb Biggs in the coordination of Michigan's involvement in the National Library Legislative Day. 2018 will be my first year as coordinator. I am very honored and excited to follow Deb, and more than aware of the amazing act I must follow! This year, 2018, National Library Legislative Day will be May 7 - 8, 2018. TODAY - Dec 1, 2017 is the first day of registration AND Hotel reservation for this year's NLLD Once again the hotel is the Liaison Hotel. If you are thinking of attending, I urge you to reserve a hotel room as soon as possible, as the hotel fills quickly Gale Cengage will once again be offering scholarships to facilitate the attendance of two people. As soon as I have the information on how to apply for these sponsorships, I will send it on. Please consider attending as this event provides unique opportunities for use to personally advocate with our Senators and Representatives in Congress. At this moment in our history, there cannot be enough representation in front of the lawmakers that make so many determinations that affect libraries. Determinations such as Funding, Net Neutrality and Open Access, to name only a few. Please review the information at the link below and consider joining myself and your fellow Michigan Librarians in Washington on May 7. http://www.ala.org/advocacy/advleg/nlld Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!

We expect the server to be down for several hours. While the catalog may re-appear and be searchable, placing requests and other functionality as outlined below may not be fully restored. A message will be sent to the lists once it is fully available again. MELCAT Implications 1. Users will be unable to place new MeLCat requests or directly search MeLCat (http://elibrary.mel.org.) Keyword searching will be available via MeL Discovery at http://search.mel.org, but MeLCat requests cannot be made, and the item status may not be current. 2. Users attempting to renew their MeLCat items may get a "server unavailable" message. 3. Library staff will be able to process requests & check out to patrons using DCB or your local Innovative/PolarisAPI system. Updates to the MeLCat central server from Innovative/PolarisAPI local servers and the DCB servers will sit in a queue until the central server comes back up. 4. All DCB data loading activities will continue as usual. MYMELCAT Implications 1. The MyMeLCat link will not work, but there are alternative methods to access their patron records and review their MeLCat requests: -- DCB libraries can use an alternative MyMeLCat link for their users: [DCB1] https://dcb1.mel.org/patroninfo [DCB2] https://dcb2.mel.org/patroninfo [DCB3] https://dcb3.mel.org/patroninfo -- Innovative local sites: MyMeLCat points to your local /patroninfo page. MEL DATABASE Implications 1. MeL Discovery at http://search.mel.org will be available for database searching, however the current status of MeLCat results will not be accurate and requests for materials cannot be made. 2. The MeL databases at http://mel.org/Databases will verify that patrons are in Michigan based on the IP address of their computer. -- If the IP isn't recognized as being in Michigan, patrons will not be able to remotely access the MeL Databases using their MeLCat login or driver's license information. Please let us know if you have any questions at melcathelp at mcls.org. Thanks ?

She wanted to save people time and money in the kitchen by including as many ingredients as possible in one box. In April 1930, "JIFFY" mixes were first shared with the public by the Chelsea Milling Company. The plant in Chelsea is the only factory that makes "JIFFY" products. Today, Mabel's grandson, Howard Samuel Holmes, runs the Chelsea Milling Company. Interested in more historical trivia? Follow us on Facebook!

All, As you are probably aware, we have a couple of publishing partners out there who are helping us spread the word when it comes to all the great things concerning the Michigan Activity Pass (MAP) program. As part of this relationship, Michigan libraries also get the opportunity to purchase their books and dvd's at a discount. A win-win! Let's get your orders to me by no later than close of TLN business on Friday, December 8, please. Having said that, below is a list of the 11 items we are offering in terms of bulk order opportunities from these two publishers. I am also including three other titles that were suggested by libraries around the state. Finally, there is a 15th title which I just saw come across my radar screen that sounded interesting, and not that easy to get. So I added it to the mix, too. Please let me know by NUMBER, which one(s) we should order for your library. Please note that there will be a $1.00 per item charge assessed by TLN in order to partially offset the cost of this project. Any shipping charges will be distributed among the ordering libraries. Books/dvd's will be shipped to your library via TLN or RIDES delivery, as appropriate. For RIDES, invoices will be sent with your shipment. TLN libraries will be billed in the customary beginning of the month fashion. Finally, please include your library's RIDES code in your reply to me: 1. BRAND NEW UTR BOOK: Under the Radar Michigan: The Next 50. These guys need no introduction http://utrmichigan.com/ Pub date March 6, 2018. List price $24.95. TLN price $16.00. This is so new that it isn't even shown on the UTR store site yet! But, TLN has the connections... 2. THE ORIGINAL UTR BOOK: Under the Michigan: The First 50. Pub date November 4, 2014. List price $24.95. TLN price $16.00 3. UTR DVD Season One: List price $30.00. TLN price $20.00 4. UTR DVD Season Two: List price $30.00. TLN price $20.00 5. UTR DVD Season Three: List price $40.00. TLN price $30.00 (Note: there are 23 episodes included on this dvd, as opposed to the standard 13 episodes; hence, the higher price) 6. UTR DVD Season Four: List price $30.00. TLN price $20.00 7. UTR DVD Season Five: List price $30.00. TLN price $20.00 8. UTR DVD Season Six: List price $30.00. TLN price $20.00 9. UTR DVD Season Seven: List price $30.00. TLN price $20.00 Again, this is so new that it doesn't appear on the UTR store site! Another MAP publishing partner is Benson's Adventures http://bensonsadventures.com/ The two public school teachers in this venture, Tracy and Shannon, do a lot of work to promote MAP in schools not only where they teach, but all over Michigan. Here are their two youth oriented titles: 10. Benson's Adventures in Michigan: Book 1. List price $22.95. TLN price $13.00 11. Benson's Seasonal Adventures in Michigan: Book 2 (June, 2017 release) List price $22.95. TLN price $13.00 Here are a few "would it be possible for TLN to coordinate a bulk order for this" requests I've received from libraries around the state. I don't know whether we will get discounts for these. Given the nature of the publications, I doubt it. If we can, we will. Both are expensive. Two are blue, one is green. Personally I prefer blue. Given the way the blue part of the equation has gone this year, though I don't know how much enthusiasm or rise either of those will generate. If you order both 13 and 14 you will get the bundled price: 12. Victory for MSU: A 120-year History of Spartan Men's Basketball http://www.dbusiness.com/daily-news/Annual-2017/Book-on-Michigan-State-Universitys-Basketball-Program-Debuts-Forward-by-Greg-Kelser/ List price $59.99. 13. Rise Again: Jim Harbaugh (brand new) https://enthusiasmunknowntomankind.com/#quick-shop List price $75.00 14. Enthusiasm Unknown to Mankind: Jim Harbaugh https://enthusiasmunknowntomankind.com/#quick-shop List price $75.00 15. 4 Detroit: Four Chefs, Four Courses, Four Seasons http://www.freep.com/story/entertainment/dining/mark-kurlyandchik/2017/11/07/four-detroit-cookbook-recipes-new-restaurants-takoi-gold-cash-gold-selden-standard-supino/831142001/ and https://noramodern.com/products/4detroit List price $46.00. I like the fact that $5.00 from the sale of every book goes to Gleaners Community Food Bank. Let's support our MAP partner publishers, and bring lots of enjoyment to your patrons, by sending your orders for these (mostly) discounted books and dvd's to me by no later than close of TLN business on Friday, December 8.

My staff and I, along with a few librarians from neighboring libraries, had a fabulous time at the workshop and learned so much! Beverly imparted her wisdom about incorporating music into our story times and programs, taught us tricks to encourage kids to participate and settle back down, and shared many new songs and rhymes that we plan on using. We also had a blast as we were up dancing around the room. I highly recommend this workshop to anyone working with kids, as Beverly is truly wonderful and it was an invaluable experience. I attached the flyer from the workshop. Thanks! -- Emily M.

Please see the details below for a link to the tour request form. Please note, when completing the form, that the RTRM program is designed for ages 0-5, and we are encouraging libraries to use it for outreach to area daycares, Great Starts, Head Starts, etc. Kindergartens do count, but if you completed this form regarding 1st graders or higher, I will be in touch with you to change that to an early literacy group, if selected. Thank you, Cathy Lancaster Youth Services Coordinator Library of Michigan 702 W. Kalamazoo St. Lansing, MI 48915 LancasterC5 at michigan.gov | 517-335-8129 | www.mi.gov/libraryofmichigan Follow us: Facebook | Twitter | Instagram [RTRM Logo]The Library of Michigan has announced the new Ready to Read Michigan, a program designed for public libraries to encourage families and caregivers to read aloud regularly to children during the early stages of life (birth up to age 5), as it ensures the development of early literacy skills and instills a love of reading. The program is designed for public librarians to model early literacy skill development directly to families and engage in outreach to early childhood centers, Great Start & Head Start classrooms, and daycares throughout their community. [IGTR]The first book selected for public library outreach is "I Got the Rhythm" by Connie Schofield-Morrison and illustrated by Frank Morrison. The author/illustrator tour is hosted by public libraries during "March is Reading Month" to promote the importance of reading aloud to young children throughout the state. The Library of Michigan is looking for public libraries which would like to have the author and illustrator visit on March 19-22, 2018. Libraries must be able to coordinate the event with a local early childhood center, daycare, Great State, Head Start, preschool or kindergarten class(es). If you would like your public library to be considered as a host, please complete the Ready to Read Michigan Tour Visit 2018 form by December 8, 2018. We will select event locations based on the author & illustrator's schedule, the location of the library, and the library's ability to secure a community partner to bring in an audience or plan to host the visit at a local early childhood center. We will try to reach as many areas of the state as possible with up to 10 visits. The Library of Michigan will make scheduling arrangements with the author and illustrator to pay their honorarium. Funding for Ready to Read Michigan is provided by the Institute of Museum and Library Services, with additional support provided by Consumers Energy and the Library of Michigan Foundation. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

GVRL contains encyclopedias and specialized reference sources for multidisciplinary research including the Study of Science--Earth Science, Geography and Geology c. 2017 and the Life & Career Skills Series--Employment, Personal Finance, Health & Wellnes and Social Skills, c.2015. Because each library creates its own eBook collection, the content you see may vary if you use the database at different libraries (your school, your public library, or your office). Enhanced book viewer - a new and improved cover-to-cover book viewer will replace the Flash-based viewer, increasing browser compatibility and supporting use of the book view on all mobile devices. Reading level indicators - the addition of three reading levels (Lexile, Guided Reading Levels/Fountas & Pinnell, and Accelerated Reader) allows users to more easily find content suitable to their reading level. Topic Finder - the addition of Topic Finder to Gale eBooks on GVRL helps users narrow their research and offers a visual way to explore their library's eBook collection. Other updates: * recommended articles - "More Like This" suggestions help users continue to find relevant content once they are in an article, supporting their exploration of the topic * improved search - updates to the search formula increase the relevancy of results and emphasize the most important elements, letting users quickly find what they need * updated MARC records - eBook MARC records will utilize direct linking, helping users get into a book more quickly from your library's catalog (currently they are taken to the "About this Publication" page; GVRL will now take them to the book's Table of Contents) Have a great rest of the week!

As you know, ALA has two resolutions regarding net neutrality: the first affirms net neutrality and the second reaffirms our support. We are asking all library advocates to email or call their Members of Congress this week and ask them to support net neutrality protections. Libraries and our patrons cannot afford to be relegated to "slow lanes" on the internet. Send an Email What Happened: The day before Thanksgiving, FCC Chairman Pai publicly shared his plan to dismantle network neutrality protections approved by the FCC in 2015 and affirmed by the federal appeals court in 2016. The new draft order is scheduled to be voted on by the five FCC commissioners on December 14, 2017. What's New: This week, ALA signed on to a letter being circulated by other net neutrality allies, including the ACLU and Fight for the Future. The letter asks the members of the Energy and Commerce Committee, which oversees the FCC, to support net neutrality rules and tell the FCC to stop its proposed plan to end them. ALA also supported a joint letter to the FCC that requests that the vote on December 14th be delayed. What You Can Do: Right now, the draft order already has been supported by a majority of FCC Commissioners, so it is almost certain to pass unless there is a meaningful intervention. Strong disapproval from members of Congress (especially from Republicans and those that serve on committees with oversight for the FCC) could force a pause in the December 14 vote to derail net neutrality. Make your voice heard now by emailing your member of Congress to support net neutrality protections.

Bonus if it also can track checkouts to their students, although they only have about 30 students so they probably could use a spreadsheet for that. This is not something I?m at all familiar with, but if anyone out there is working in a small school/small library of any type using a free or very low priced ILS or even has heard of suggestions I can pass on to this teacher, I?d be grateful if you could contact me. Please email me directly. If anyone is interested in this topic, I can compile any possible results. Thank you!

Staff Message-ID: <1654734479.30100545.1513098394653.JavaMail.zimbra@romuluslibrary.org> Hi everyone, I didn't get a lot of responses, but here is what I did receive regarding reference training for circ staff: * The Library of Michigan offers ?Beginning Workshop? every May. It is an annual 3-day event held each spring for library staff without a Master's degree in Library Science. Unfortunately, it is usually up near Petoskey. This makes it useful only for staff you really want to invest in. Also, how many staff can you afford to send away for the same 3-day period? Plus, it is much more than just reference. So it may not be suited to your needs. * There are great, self-paced library training tutorials available for free through the Library of Michigan's access to [ http://learn.webjunction.org/ | WebJunction ] . There are also some good general work place training videos available through MeL's Jobs Portal and then the Learning Express Library and Lifelong Soft Skills databases. * There was a list of "core competencies" that both librarians and circ staff had to know - how to place a hold on a book, how to take money, how to check things in/out, how to answer a basic question about a book. If something came up that was more complicated, whether it was reference or circulation-related, we were supposed to try to find someone from the appropriate department to help. In terms of training, Library Video Network does have some good videos on basic reference work that might be of benefit to you. If anyone has any other suggestions, feel free to send them along. Thank you to everyone who took time to answer. Jessica Wilhoite Assistant Director/Youth Librarian Romulus Public Library 11121 Wayne Rd.

One is an ALOS Z43. It has no stand, but includes 3 extra tubes of toner. It works, but is in need of a service call because the print quality is a bit light right now. Every time this has happened in the past, the service call resulted in clear, crisp copies. The other is a Minolta MS6000 MKII with a stand. It will probably need a software upgrade, as it was running on Windows XP when we got it. It's been in storage for a couple of years and hasn't got all that much mileage on it. We also have an extra bulb, fiche adapter and a 9-16x zoom lens that all work with either machine and we can include any or all. If you are interested, let me know.

Once you understand how this collaborative, community-driven encyclopedia works, you?ll see the value of contributing your expertise and knowledge. Wikipedia Library?s annual #1lib1ref (?One Librarian, One Reference?) campaign provides a simple and fun way to get started. This global initiative invites all library staff to improve the verifiability of information on Wikipedia by adding at least one reference during the campaign, which runs from January 15 through February 3, 2018. During this webinar, Monika Sengul-Jones, OCLC Wikipedian-in-Residence, will illuminate the inner workings of Wikipedia to build your confidence in its viability as a resource. Emily Jack, community engagement librarian at UNC Chapel Hill Libraries, will share what library staff love about participating in #1lib1ref?and why engaging with Wikipedia makes sense for libraries.

From Facilities to Trauma: Disaster Planning and Community Resiliency at Your Library Tuesday, January 30, 2018 ? 3:00 pm Eastern / 12:00 pm Pacific ? 60 minutes Registration: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/disaster-planning-community-resiliency.html Recent catastrophes have highlighted the important role public libraries play in enhancing their community?s resiliency and post-disaster recovery efforts. Many community leaders now view libraries as ad hoc disaster recovery centers and recognize librarians as Information First Responders. This presentation will help you and your library embrace this new role as Information First Responders, who quickly enable people to get back to work, back to their lives, and ensure recovery of the community?s economic life. Learn what you need to prepare before disaster strikes, guided by New Jersey State Library?s Disaster Preparedness & Community Resiliency Toolkit, which has been emergency-tested by libraries. Your library can be at the forefront in providing that safe haven in times of crisis and helping your community return to normal life. This project is supported in part by the Library of Michigan with federal funds from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

According to the usage statistics, it's elementary school children, young people, and those that guide them to MeL. Let's take a look at the areas of MeL they visit most often. First, let's talk about exit traffic as reported by Google Analytics. These are numbers that show the percentage of users who are exiting MeL.org via particular links. Bookflix is 30% of our outgoing traffic. That's tremendous and it demonstrates clearly the importance of that resource to our users. The Britannica Suite has risen to a total of 9.9% of outgoing traffic now that the school year is in full swing. That's very impressive as well. These are all percentages of the total outgoing traffic of MeL which as you know serves all 9.8 million residents of Michigan. These are not small numbers; they are huge numbers. Where are they going on MeL to access these links? As you're no doubt aware, resources in MeL are listed in multiple places. Hands-down, the most popular portal (subject gateway) in MeL is Kids where Bookflix accounts for 52% of outbound clicks in both the Storytime section and in Homework Helpers. The other resources that really make the grade in Homework Helpers are Britannica Elementary, Worldbook Kids and finally Britannica School. And the story continues with MeL Teens. From the Databases page, Opposing Viewpoints in Context comes in as the second most popular link on the page and Gale Virtual Reference Library is #5. This is reinforced by the usage we see of the Teens Gateway, where the Homework Help section is the most popular area and both of these resources can be found there as well. It's safe to say that some of MeL's key resources are those that support Michigan's young learners and that's something we can all be proud of. Brought to you by Deb Renee Biggs and Sonya Schryer Norris, Library Consultants at the Library of Michigan MeL databases are available to 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 the next MeL Minute available on many Michigan library listservs, email us at contact at mel.org, visit http://mel.org, or sign up for the MeL Minute and other Library of Michigan e-mail lists via GovDelivery.

I want to share this as widely as possible. Feel free to share this with colleagues who may not have seen it. Since your last purchase, the required Labor Law Poster sets (4 laminated 18 x 24 panels) have been revised with an update to the Michigan Law Prohibits Discrimination poster, minor updates to the federal USERRA posting and Michigan Unemployment Insurance Act posting, and the minimum wage for contractors notice for 2018. Now is a great time to renew your subscription and get the new set! Each set is $29, but as our group grows, the price per library comes down. Last year, we ordered 103 sets, so each library paid $20 per set, including the shipping tube. You will receive all updates released during the coming year, which are sent to you via email. Best part: This will let you tell the overly aggressive and sometimes shady vendors who likely hound you and your staff that you're taken care of for the year. If they keep bugging you, feel free to send 'em to me and I'll see if they can provide a better deal *and* keep funds in Michigan! Reserve your Labor Law Poster sets here here: https://goo.gl/forms/ f52sVaLe0jv1G5by2 *Ordering deadline is tomorrow - Friday, December 15, 2017 at 5:00pm.* We'll ship posters out as soon as we receive them. kate -- Kate Pohjola Andrade, Director Woodlands Library Cooperative 517-629-9469 586-801-0725 - cell/text http://woodlands.lib.mi.us -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This filing window is more in keeping with those used in prior funding years. Applicants can begin preparing now for the successful filing of their FY 2018 funding applications by taking the following steps: * Install Browser Updates: Google Chrome is the preferred browser for EPC, but no matter which browser you use, be sure the latest version is installed on your computer. * Establish Account and User Rights: If this is your first year participating in the E-rate program, call our Client Service Bureau at 888-203-8100 to create your account in the E-rate Productivity Center (EPC). If you already have an EPC account, log in and review, update and/or assign user rights for persons who will need access for FY 2018. * Update Your EPC Profile Now: To ensure a smoother filing process, EPC profiles will lock on January 10, 2018, at 11:59 PM EST. You will not be able to make changes to your EPC profile after that date. So, please log in to your EPC account now to make any necessary changes to your profile. Specifically, you should: * Ensure that the entity type for each of your schools, libraries, and non-instructional facilities (NIFs) is accurate. * Confirm the names and addresses for all of your entities and NIFs, and let USAC know if any have closed or if you expect to add any new entities for the upcoming funding year. * Schools should carefully review their student counts, including National School Lunch Program (NSLP) information. * Libraries should confirm their square footage, as well as the school district in which their main branch is located. * All applicants should review the "Connectivity" questions in their profile if they have made changes to their network or have a different opinion on the sufficiency of their network. Note that USAC has already updated EPC profiles with the data from approved FY 2017 applications, so you may notice some updated information when you log in to your account. * Proceed With Competitive Bidding: If you have not started the competitive bidding process by filing your FCC Form 470, please begin now. Remember that you must wait 28 days after filing the FCC Form 470 before entering into an agreement and filing your application. Waiting for the filing window to open is not necessary. USAC's website at http://www.usac.org/sl/applicants/step01/default.aspx provides step-by-step instructions for completing the FCC Form 470 and conducting the competitive bid process. As always, representatives at USAC?s Client Service Bureau are available to help you at 888-203-8100. Alternatively, you can also open a customer service case in EPC to receive assistance. This will be the 20th application filing window for the E-rate program, and I have had the honor of working with many of you since the first filing window opening in 1998 ? some since the beginning and others more recently. During this time, we have faced many challenges, but we have always worked together and found solutions. Looking ahead, you should continue to expect us to solicit your candid feedback and insights. In 2018, we plan to regularly request your ideas for ways in which we can improve our E-rate information technology systems and program participant trainings, including topics that you would like to see addressed in our face-to-face trainings and webinars. Although we cannot always accommodate every request, we will carefully consider all of your feedback. Like all of my colleagues at USAC, I know that you share my passion to ensure that students and library patrons across the country have access to the broadband connections they need. I am excited to be working with all of you in my new role leading the E-rate program, and you have my full commitment that USAC will continue to administer the E-rate program in a way that benefits from your participation and feedback. Sincerely, Catriona Ayer Acting Vice President, Schools and Libraries Division Contact Us! If you need assistance, please contact the Client Service Bureau (CSB) at (888) 203-8100.

Please feel free to forward any questions to mkroening at cityofwarren.org I use LibraryThing's TinyCat at North Star Academy, a public charter school, and am pretty happy with it. It's designed for small libraries. Here's the link: https://www.librarycat.org/ If you want to see a live example, here's North Star's catalog: https://www.librarycat.org/lib/NorthStarAcademyMQT Librarika may be a option for you. You can place up to 2,000 records for free before paying, but you can have unlimited patron accounts. Plus it is all accessed online. We have used it for our cooperative for a small maker space collection and it has worked well. https://librarika.com/ I used to work for a small parachioal School but not one that small. I would suggest that they contact the Michigan Catholic Library Association, I used to be president /member long time ago when I was at De La Salle. There are many great school librarians in the association who would be willing to give their expertise and help them out. I don't know of any free open source but I do have a less expensive catalog now at Royal Oak Twp we use Verso. Our library is quite small. When I arrived almost 6 years ago, we only had state aid, penal fines, and municipal contributions (different now). Basically, no budget. The board wanted to automate. We went with VERSO from Auto-Graphics. The system is on their server - we always have the most recent version of the software and they are responsible for the server and backups. Initial costs were about $4000 (fundraisers and a grant and donations). Annual fee is $750. Good luck to them http://www.northadamscml.michlibrary.org/ When I worked for the Colorado Department of Corrections, we used EOS.Web as our ILS. Here's the link: http://www.sirsidynix.com/products/eos-web I liked it because it was very user friendly and the support was great. We were able to use it to track our patrons, their checkouts and holds, and it also sent overdue notices. I wasn't involved in the pricing but it never hurts to ask. :-) Let me know if you have further questions. Adrienne I would recommend Tinycat from Librarything. It is free to small libraries, and the folks there are great to work with. https://www.librarycat.org/ Have you considered Library Thing? https://www.librarything.com/ Hi Maren, in a different lifetime when I was a media specialist, Alexandria used to give away one copy of their software to small libraries. She might try there: http://www.goalexandria.com/. I'm involved with a small K-8 parochial school library that my kids attend. They use LibrarySoft for this http://www.librarysoft.com/ It does allow checkouts but my school doesn't use that functionality. Mostly they use it to catalog/inventory their collection and print labels and barcodes for it. This may be helpful: http://listoffreeware.com/best-free-library-management-software-for-windows/ We are on an open source software called KOHA. For us, it is hosted by ByWater Solutions and we pay $7800 a year for that. However, I believe, you can just download KOHA and not have a vendor host it. I am going to try this for my personal catalog as well as to catalog my brother's books, as soon as I retire. Evergreen is open source, and if they have someone in-house that can set up a server and provide tech support, they'll be set. There's also a Michigan Evergreen group that has about eight public libraries, and it may be worth seeing if the expenses (covers tech support mainly) would be low enough to make it worth joining. I used it at my last library and would be happy to dig up group contact information if that's the route they'd like to go. That being said, right now I'm using the free version of Libib for my personal catalog at home, and the pro version may be more reasonably priced and user-friendly for what they need .

Bonus if it also can track checkouts to their students, although they only have about 30 students so they probably could use a spreadsheet for that. This is not something I?m at all familiar with, but if anyone out there is working in a small school/small library of any type using a free or very low priced ILS or even has heard of suggestions I can pass on to this teacher, I?d be grateful if you could contact me. Please email me directly. If anyone is interested in this topic, I can compile any possible results. Thank you!

He presented in other libraries after the publication of his second book, Lake invaders : invasive species and the battle for the future of the Great Lakes. Our program focused on his recently published book on Michigan craft beer, Brewed in Michigan : the new golden age of brewing in the great beer state. Our Director received permission from the Board for us to sample craft beers. There were five (Well four, plus Budweiser as a baseline) beers sampled and discussed. We had 47 people in attendance and they seemed to really enjoy the program. Bill is a great presenter. He was also a pleasure to work with. We gave him a $100.00 honorarium, but he might do the program for less, or perhaps even just for the opportunity to sell his beautiful book. He lives in Bloomfield Hills so nearby libraries will probably be the best, but he did invite me to tell all the librarians in the state about the program! Thanks!

Staff Message-ID: <963158401.37059274.1513698910501.JavaMail.zimbra@romuluslibrary.org> Here are a few more responses about training for circ. staff: * I worked as a Lead Reference Librarian in a library system in Colorado and was tasked with creating an activity to highlight a library resource for all library staff to complete on a monthly basis. These were often "scavenger hunts" of sorts using databases and other resources that the library promoted. This was to raise awareness library wide of the diversity of our resources and to promote word of mouth advertising for the library. The task was completed by the finance department, the marketing department, administration, shelvers, delivery drivers - all staff of the library! It was a great way to refresh learning in those that used the resources every day too. * One thing I ran into at my other library in Washington when there was a move to integrate the Circ and Ref Desks into one Help Desk was that the librarians with MLIS degrees didn't want to train circ staff on the "secrets" of librarianship because if someone will do the work for half the pay, then why keep the professional staff around? Personally, I feel that the more people who have the skills to help the patrons, the better. :-) The way we handled that was to just have a reference librarian give circ staff a general overview of how to do a reference interview and then refer the patron to professional staff if the circ staff didn't feel comfortable answering the question. If you frame it right for the patron, they just see the customer service aspect, rather than being passed off to someone else. Plus, then you can have the circ staff observe the interaction and have more knowledge for next time. * My former boss, Kristin Meyer, is the User Experience Librarian at Grand Valley State University. She and a colleague wrote a chapter in a book titled "The Front Face of Library Services: How Student Employees Lead the Library at Grand Valley State University." In it, they talk a lot about how they prepare student employees to answer reference-related questions at the centralized service desk. Here's a link to the abstract and then you just have to click download in the top righthand corner to see the full chapter: [ https://scholarworks.gvsu.edu/library_books/11/ | https://scholarworks.gvsu.edu/library_books/11/ ] There's a lot of game-based learning that happens and they do a lot of seminar-style tutorial sessions to help prepare student employees as well. * [ https://www.amigos.org/civicrm/event/info?reset=1&id=933 | https://www.amigos.org/civicrm/event/info?reset=1&id=933 ] - This class costs money.

Subject: [alsc-l] Toolkit from Oakland Public Library: Evaluating Children's Books About Police ALSC Community Members, Children's librarians at the Oakland Public Library (CA) have developed Evaluating Children's Books About Police: a toolkit for librarians and other evaluators of children's literature to help library selectors evaluate the books you offer for children about police officers and policing, and to consider how those books may impact the children in your community. The topic of engaging with police is of current interest to families in our community, and we find available media lacking in breadth of perspective. The depiction of police officers as friendly and helpful is nearly universal in the children's publishing world, and professional review media do not currently address other less represented, but equally valid, perspectives. This is an opportune moment for libraries to examine their collections for accuracy and relevance to all children. Books help children understand the world around them, and most books about police are written to instruct children about the work police officers do. To uphold professional standards and the Library Bill of Rights, it is important for children's material selectors to understand and consider all potential views of police officers when selecting materials for our collections. We hope this toolkit is helpful, and welcome you to share it.

We have also offered special art or tech programs and we have not had great results. I know they tend to have a good network of people to draw from for their classes. The only thing that really seems to bring them in are when we have students and staff from local universities do special tech programs or local artists offering art based programs. * We don?t do home-school programs, but my initial thought would be to ask her if she?s a member of any local home-school consortium, and then you can reach out to THAT group. Invite a discussion with some of them, at your library, and see if an age-appropriate tour and short activity would be a good first foray into programming for them. Schedule the tour and activity when it works best for the home-school group; they?ll help publicize it among their members and ensure you?ve got active participants. Otherwise I worry you?ll arrange a program and nobody (or just that one mom) will show up. They?ll also have a sense of the ages and stages situation. With all due respect, quite a few home-school parents will insist that their child(ren) are ?well above grade level? in many areas, so you might do best to avoid the word ?grade? as a marker for anything. * This is a perennial request and what usually happens is that homeschoolers are often unable to commit to attending programs they request. The only time it has ever worked out for me (and I've done this for 3 different city libraries) is if a homeschooler group makes an appointment for a specific program - like a general "how to use the library" or bibliographic instruction for middle school grades. I know there are places it works, but it is usually in communities with strong home-school groups. Thanks! Jessica Wilhoite Assistant Director/Youth Librarian Romulus Public Library 11121 Wayne Rd.

Way to go, Jessica! And thank you to everyone else who does the same. It makes the list a much more pleasant place for everyone. As reminder to everyone: We welcome your participation on Michlib-l. There are a few guidelines that help improve the experience for everyone: 1. Please keep in mind when composing your messages that attachments are removed from posts for digest subscribers and in the archives. For maximum reach, embed the text you wish readers to see in the body of your message. If an attachment is especially important for its images, formatting or other reasons, upload it to your website and then link to it in your message to Michlib-l. 2. Do not post replies that are meant for one person to the entire list. You can accomplish this by using the "Reply" feature and not "Reply All." 3. If you ask for group input on a topic, offer to collect the responses and then re-post them to the list so everyone can benefit. Be sure to embed those responses in the body of your message. And, of course, a little patience goes a long way. We've all accidentally posted something to a list that was only meant for one person so gentleness with each other is helpful as well.

Translation -- we are looking for someone who likes cataloging, and getting the most out of an automation system to deliver better results for our patrons. Have to like YA materials and want to build up our collection. We have made some contacts at the High School and want someone to take this to the next level. Sound too scary, also OK if you just like to get the work done and make patrons happy that their books are ready to read and easy to find. *What's our library and city like* -- The Grand Ledge Area District Library is a Class IV library in a thriving suburb west of Lansing with a service population of 16,000 people and annual operating budget of $750,000. We want your ideas on how to enhance our collections (90K items), draw new users to the library (70K annual visitors), and create new readers (98K annual circulation). Lots to do in Grand Ledge and the greater Lansing area (music, plays, arts, river, parks) and we love a parade! Have to say Grand Ledge is a great place, we are close to Lansing/MSU, so have plenty to do in Lansing and in Grand Ledge. Plenty of shopping and Grand Rapids and Brighton (outlet malls) are within an hour. Lots of outdoor activity from kayaking, biking, and several parks -- and don't forget ledge climbing! *SALARY:* $18.00 per hour (negotiable based upon experience) *HOURS: 24 hours per week*?schedule includes 5-9pm Thursday night shift. In addition, participate in weekend desk coverage monthly rotation. We are open 4 nights a week and 7 days a week. We think its important that catalogers work the public service desk -- if you don't know how the catalog is being used, you can't make it work for patrons. *BENEFITS:* Limited benefits include annual paid personal time, life insurance/disability package, holidays, and 1% matching 457 retirement plan *SUBMIT:* Letter of interest, completed job application, contact information for three professional references and resume. *APPLY TO:* Lise Mitchell, Library Director, Grand Ledge Area District Library, 131 E.

As professionals we can fine tune this process before it begins, eliminate much of the frustration, and offer the learner appropriate choices that will get them into actually READING books while they still want to, and not after they're too tired to even care anymore! It is based on the Reading Recovery Teacher training in which teachers learn how an appropriate book choice for each daily lesson encourages successful reading. Reading Recovery is a program for early intervention for 1st graders who are at-risk in the area of literacy.

I thought I would post the responses that I've gotten so far with my request for help with Books into Movies Book Club. I want to thank everyone who took the time to respond. Dan Lodge Librarian I Adult Services Henry Ford Centennial Library Dearborn, MI * We read the book first and then see the movie. Patrons have until the end of the month to read that month's title. Then we watch the movie and discuss both. * We do our club on the last Wednesday of the month. * We try to pick popular titles with recent adaptions. Thankfully, the past several years have seen many high profile adaptions such as the Hunger Games, In the Heart of the Sea, the Dark Tower, etc. When I was in college, I took a Fiction to Film class. We read the book first and then viewed the movie, and then discussed themes and how they were handled. I recall reading and watching Wuthering Heights, A Place in the Sun and Klute! Quite a variety! There were others but these are the ones that spring to mind! I do it the completely lazy way. We have a Books to Movies night every Monday night at 6:30pm. We show movies that were made into books or based on true stories. I will tell them what book the movie is based on. We don't discuss the book or the movie most of the time. This group of people just like to watch movies based on books. Sometimes we may say (if they read the book or I have) what is better but really, we just.watch.movies. We have done this for four years and most of the movies depend on what titles are available in our licensing database. I pick them all because I love to. Easy peasy. Sometimes I do a theme--love movies in February, Christmas ones in December, Basketball in March, etc but right now it has been new releases. We get popcorn free from the local theater and serve water. I have a core group of 6-8 people and depending on the movie may only have 3 who attend and the largest amount of people was 20. At the Fowlerville District Library we have a books to movies book club that we call "Beyond the Book". It occasionally includes book discussions about books that do not have film adaptations if the book is particularly relevant. We begin registration for the program 3 weeks before the book discussion. As long as our supply lasts, we give out a free copy of the book to each person who signs up. (We usually purchase about 10-12 new or lightly used copies to give out). This way they have a chance to read the book before meeting with everyone at the library to watch the film. We hold our adult programs on Thursday nights at 7pm. If there is a film adaptation of the book, we begin the night by watching the film together, and then discuss it afterwards. We have found that this time works well for most people, but we do have to be careful of film length. Anything over 2 hours and some people may need to leave early and end up missing the discussion. Discussion usually lasts for about 15-30 minutes. We also offer those in attendance a chance to sign up for the next Beyond the Book program and pass out the next book at the end of the night. Beyond the Book meets once a month year round, sometimes skipping December because of the holidays and other special programming. For each season of the year we try to pick 3 or 4 books/movies that have something in common. For example, our county did a county-wide read of Andy Weir's The Martian around the time the film came to DVD, so we used it for Beyond the Book and chose other survival stories to accompany it and made "Survival" our theme for that winter. We've also done themes around food, travel, fantasy, science fiction, self-discovery, outcasts, and many other topics. We usually try to find one book the we love, is particularly relevant today, and/or has a new film being released, and then try to plan other books that go along with it in some way. If you would like any more information about our Beyond the Book club please feel free to email Beth Lowe, our Program Director at b.lowe at fowlervillelibrary.org. She is the one who started and designed the program at our library and can give you more details about how it has evolved over the years and can answer any questions you might have. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In this MeL Minute, we're going to talk about Gale's On-Demand Tutorials. Gale's tutorials are designed specifically to help students in the classroom or homeschoolers. They start with two sets of Documents and Tools on conducting research and writing reports aimed at Elementary or Middle & High school students. The reference pages at the Elementary level walk younger students through nine steps involved in crafting a report from Choosing a Topic to Judging Information to Citing Your Sources. Included are helpful worksheets for each step to assist the student in thinking about how to complete a particular task. The worksheets ask them a series of questions and help them to think about the process behind the various steps of writing a report. By going through these worksheets, the student has great tools to craft a well-developed report. The reference pages for Middle & High School students are more sophisticated, with tip sheets and worksheets on How to Read and Interpret Graphs, How to Build an Argument (including the best ways to present it and being prepared for questions about your arguments), and How to Write a Thesis Statement, among more than a dozen topics. These are suitable for writers of research papers. They help the student to formulate their ideas and summarize their thinking in preparation of the writing process and then walk them through the development a research paper. This site also has eleven short videos that support research and writing by walking the user through how to use Gale's suite of resources. They cover built-in support such as the highlight and notes feature for almost all Gale products, resources for organizing and keeping track of articles, locating help finding a research topic and then finding reliable information and statistical data as the student explores their topic. When your kids and teens come back from the holidays, be ready for some happy researching! The MeL Minute will take a break the week between Christmas and New Year's but see us back bright and early in January for a special announcement.

Since I retired, our small K-12 school has kept the library open with dedicated para pros and passionate teachers but I do not envision a return to any kind of nuanced, collaborative library program. The high school reference section has not been updated in any way for at least 10 years. There are many computers housed in the library space, a quality teen fiction section and a reasonable picture book and elementary section. As a school board, we may have access to some community foundation money for various worthy projects. I am anxious to quiz the brains on the list serve to see how high schools have managed their reference sections and if there are any ideas about how to better utilize this space. And what do we do with the reference materials that are outdated and unused? Hopefully this query provides a challenge for rumination over the holidays?! Thanks in advance for the help.

A big "Thank You!" to Sue McCleaf Nespeca for two years of in-person trainings, newsletters & webinars throughout Michigan. This Library of Michigan initiative is supported by funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. ECRR's Five Practices Tips & Books from Sue [Talk Read Play]This is the last newsletter I will be writing in this final month of the two-year Early Literacy Initiative developed by the Library of Michigan. The focus was on the Every Child Ready to Read (ECRR), a parent education initiative commissioned by the American Library Association. For this last publication, I would like to share a list of book recommendations (all in-print, and numerous ones from 2017) that are a good match for the five practices of the ECRR project. Hope this is helpful to you all! And I hope you continue to include early literacy practices in your storytime programs. Below are some tips to implement in your library and/or share with families and caregivers on making the 5 practices of ECRR a part of every day life. Please feel free to print and share the tips below along with the list of book selections at your storytimes, or keep a copy at the youth desk for the public. Compiled by: Sue McCleaf Nespeca, Kid Lit Plus Consulting Email: Kidlitplus at gmail.com [dad and girl]Talking AGES 0 -3 * Talk to babies throughout the day during mealtimes, diaper-changing time, bathtime and bedtime. * Introduce babies and toddlers to new words whenever possible. Name items in their environment, but also take them on a nature walk, to a farm, or a zoo. * Repeat new words so that babies/toddlers will know how to pronounce them when they begin to speak. * For a child to learn to read, he/she needs to have been introduced to many new words. The size of a child's vocabulary is a strong predictor of reading success. * Reading books where the young child can participate by naming animals, colors, or simple objects provides wonderful opportunities for a child to use narrative skills. * Expand the experience by asking simple questions such as "What color is the lion?" or "How many humps does the camel have?" Talking AGES 3-5 * Share books that allow children to participate in the telling. For example, have them join in repeated phrases or identify animal names etc. * For parents: Point to the words on signs and read the words aloud to your child when at a store or any public place. Have your child repeat the word. * For parents: Make up stories with your child while riding in a car or walking to a location. Try to introduce a few new words. * For parents: Share simple wordless books with your child, telling the story you see in the illustrations. Then have your child retell the story. [singing girl]Singing AGES 0-3 * Songs help babies develop listening skills and learn new words. * Singing stimulates brain connections and increases attention span. * Babies prefer their parents' voices to any others, and singing has a calming effect. * For parents: Sing songs throughout the day - they can be songs you know or that you make up while performing daily activities. * For parents: Sing to your child daily. The quality of your voice/singing is unimportant. * For parents: Consider singing songs a little slower so your child can clearly hear the syllables that make up the words in the songs. This will improve her ability to discriminate sounds, a skill necessary to learn to read (phonological awareness) Singing AGES 3-5 * Sing favorite songs with children over and over again as it helps them learn words and build memory skills. * Emphasize syllables in words as you sing so that children can hear the smaller sounds in words. Songs have a different note for each syllable, which helps children break down words. (phonological awareness) * You can clap the syllables to help children hear the smaller sounds within words. This helps children break unfamiliar words apart when learning to read. [mom and boy]Reading AGES 0-3 * Research shows that reading books to children from birth and having books present in the home are two of the greatest indicators for later success in learning to read. * For parents: Read to babies at different times during the day. It does not matter if you finish the book. * For parents: Make sure all reading experiences are positive. Keep reading even if your baby is not directly looking at the book. If your baby is crying or not enjoying the experience, stop and try again later. * For parents: Use board books with durable pages and that have rounded edges until a child can handle a book with paper pages. * For parents: Recite nursery rhymes and poems with your young child often. Literacy experts suggest that children who know eight nursery rhymes by heart by age four will be among the best readers by the time they are eight. (Mem Fox, Reading Magic, 2008) * Rhymes help children understand basic structures and patterns of speech. * Silly rhymes and poems do not need to make sense. Children enjoy the sound of the rhyming words and repetitious phrases. * Repeat rhymes often. Occasionally pause to let your child supply the rhyming word. Reading AGES 3-5 * Reading books is the best way to increase a young child's vocabulary because books are filled with rare and unusual words that are not often included in speech. * For parents: Introduce a book you are reading to your child by discussing the cover. Point to the title of the book and read it. Ask your child "What do you think this book might be about?" * Pick books you like and share them enthusiastically. Read with expression and use different voices to keep children's interest and to make books come alive! * For parents: Avoid teaching your child to read. You may destroy your child's positive attitude and enjoyment of reading. You child may learn to read naturally, and that is fine, but otherwise, let you child learn how to read at school. [girl writing]Writing AGES 0-3 * In order for young children to learn to write, the small muscles in their hands must be strengthened. Activities to help babies begin to strengthen their small muscles are important. * As soon as they are able, young toddlers can lift flaps in books and help turn pages. * Provide opportunities for babies and young toddlers to feel different shapes. * When sharing board books with young children, a parent can occasionally point to words so that young toddlers begin to understand that the scribbles on the page mean something. * Prepare children's hands for writing and gaining fine motor skills by having them make numbers out of play dough. * Have children trace around number stencils, magnetic numbers or number templates to strengthen the muscles they will use for writing. * Have children do "number rubbings" by providing large number templates, paper, and large chubby crayons to do rubbings. * Have children trace numbers in a tray of sand or salt. Writing AGES 3-5 * Provide opportunities for children to draw as drawing helps them develop the muscles they need to become writers. * Ask children to draw a picture about the story after sharing a picture book. * Do "license plate rubbings" with children. Use an old license plate and provide paper and crayons for the child to make the rubbing. Can the child identify any of the letters or numbers? * For parents: Label some objects in your child's room so that he/she can see written words. [boy with blocks]Playing AGES 0-3 * Tell parents that playing with their baby creates a special bond between them and helps the child acquire confidence, creativity and imagination. * When a parent plays with their child and talks about their play, they increase the child's exposure to new vocabulary and help expose the child to new concepts. * For babies, the emphasis in play should be on sensory exploration, singing, and lap and bounce games. Playing AGES 3-5 * Encourage pretend play by providing props such as dress-up clothing, stuffed animals, crowns, and so on. This increases children's narrative skills as they can make up a story while playing. * Provide opportunities for small motor activities such as playing with blocks, alphabet letters, or puzzles with 12 to 50 pieces for children these ages. * Provide play experiences such as playing in water, playing in sand, using play dough, and finger painting, that allow children to use their five senses. * Sing and dance with young children! Provide simple musical instruments; dance to a variety of musical styles. ________________________________ A Note from Cathy Lancaster on "Ready to Read Michigan" [RTRM Logo]As 2018 rapidly approaches the Library of Michigan is happy to share that we plan to continue training, resources and more for public library staff in the 5 practices of Every Child Ready to Read.

As each publisher has their own level criteria, it can be confusing to parents trying to choose like items in a specific level based on the levels assigned. Does anyone have any great solutions to unite like books across publisher's levels. Also any thoughts on shelving in this area? We also have many easy readers which are technically non-fiction but we want to keep them in the easy reader area. Any input on those and whether they are interfiled with fiction easy readers or not would be helpful.

We have a staff member, Melanie Allbery (copied to this message) who homeschooled her children with a literature-based curriculum through 8-th grade. She "retired" as a kindergarten teacher to do this. (She was such a frequent patron we hired her to be a para-pro sub when her kids were a little older.) Melanie began offering a monthly homeschooling program in Sept. 2015, Sept. - April. It draws 25-45 people. Melanie has a different theme each month, with lots of hands-on learning activities. I don't think that any one else on my staff could deliver this program. Melanie's knowledge of lesson plans, group/classroom management and ability to converse with any age person all go into making this program a success. And Melanie's contacts with the entire s.e. MI homeschooling community have helped a lot with publicity. I've attached a current flyer. Please contact Melanie if you would like more information. She will be off until after the first of the year. Her name is Melanie Allbery (two "l's") and her email address is melanie.allbery at farmlib.org. 2. I have to say, I was disappointed in the response to your question about homeschool programs. As a former homeschooling mom myself, I remember being very disappointed that my local (and other nearby) libraries did not have homeschool programs. There seemed to be a lot of interest among the parents in my homeschool groups, since most of us were regulars at our local public libraries. When I began working at FCL as a Page, I learned that one of the parapros in the children's department was also a homeschooler. Three or four years ago, she started a program for homeschoolers and, since I now work in a different building and am an adult librarian, I wondered how it was going, given the less than enthusiastic response you received to your post. Here's what she said: I have had a wonderful response to my homeschool program, thankfully!! I have a regular group that comes, along with new people, every month. I think it makes a huge difference that I homeschooled my children--they see me as credible in providing a program for them. The parents are VERY appreciative and give me feedback as to what they like/need/want. Don't give up on homeschoolers! But maybe have a talk with them first to see what their needs and their availabilities are. ;) ***Two recommendations to contact Melanie Allbery!*** 3. We have a Homeschool Advisory Board that meets once a month at the library. This is the purpose statement: The purpose of the Tamarack District Library Homeschool Advisory Board is regularly to collaborate in areas of mutual interest for the benefit of their families, the library, and the community. The Homeschool Advisory Board will share resources, plan or recommend events, and support endeavors with a focus on positive community interaction, education, and service to others. I present it to community members (both homeschoolers and others) something like this: ?It?s a way for homeschoolers to learn more about the resources available at the library and network with each other; and it is a way for the library to learn more about how we can serve homeschoolers? needs.? These meetings have resulted in increased use of library materials, and given us some useful direction in collection development that has benefited the community as a whole. For example, in the early days of the HAB, we received a request for foreign language learning materials such as Rosetta Stone. From that request we embarked on a process that has resulted in us now having five foreign language laptops available for checkout. Each has a different language learning software installed on it, and they are very popular. It appears HAB has also been useful to homeschoolers for networking, and the library is now identified as ?the place to go? for new homeschoolers in the area who want to learn more and get looped in. The HAB has also provided the impetus for the following programs: * Weekly Chess Club on Friday afternoon (open to the public) * Annual ?Science Fair? in March (open to the public) * Annual ?pick up? choir of homeschooled kids who sing at the library?s annual Christmas open house * A game day focused on strategy games is currently being planned Through HAB, homeschooled kids have become increasingly involved as volunteers in our ?Junior Friends of the Library? group, and in support of various programs. Thanks for responding...I will send along more if I get any. Happy New Year! Jessica Wilhoite Assistant Director/Youth Librarian Romulus Public Library 11121 Wayne Rd.
