Libraries Read: 1 Book 2018 Message-ID: Ten more days to submit titles; please keep the submissions coming! Libraries Read: 1 Book is an annual project of MCLS, a "library community read" focused on professional development. Library staff from all types of libraries are encouraged to participate by voting on which book should be selected, then participate in the discussion, whether online or in-person. We will join together, across state lines and library types, to read and discuss the same book. Submit titles for 2018 Libraries Read: 1 Book! Last year's process of inviting YOU, our community, to submit titles for consideration was such a success, we'd like to do it again! We hope that by opening the submission process to a wide group of library professionals, we'll discover the perfect book to read together! How this works: * Go to the Google title submission form and submit one or two titles for consideration. Submissions will be accepted until Monday, April 16, 2018. * MCLS staff will consider all submissions and narrow the list to four titles. We will then ask for votes on our Facebook page in early May. We'll tally the votes and announce the selected title near the beginning of June. * Once the title has been selected, start reading! MCLS will announce the Twitter chat and other discussions to take place in August 2018. We look forward to getting your title submissions over the next couple of weeks!

Message-ID: Greetings Michigan Library Community, More than a simply a genealogical resource, HeritageQuest Online Library Edition (HQO) allows teachers, students, history aficionados, and those generally curious to find amazing primary source. For example, did you know that... * Kishtowag, otherwise known as Elizabeth Madosh, was from the Ojibwe (Ojibbeway) tribe recorded by the MacKinac Agency in 1922. * Nanny Dudley, complexion dark, lived on Caruther's Plantation in Georgia in 1870 when she opened her first bank account. * Joseph St. John of Cooper Township had 1 horse, 2 milch cows, 4 working oxen, 9 other cattle, 6 sheep, and 6 swine all worth $200 in 1850 (that's nearly $6000 in today's world!). Elizabeth is recorded in the Indian Census Rolls. These census records span 1855 - 1940 and cover Native American populations throughout the United States. Both Indian name and English name, date of birth, gender, relationships, and tribe/agency name are recorded. Currently accepted spellings of tribal names are used on the index but in the census rolls themselves, obsolete spellings are often used; and the name of a tribe may be spelled several ways in different rolls. Nanny's bank record is part of the Freedman's Bank Record collection, 1865- 1871. The forms asked questions regarding personal information and identification-such as complexion (color), height, and name of plantation as well as required a signature (which more times than not was an X). The exact questions asked on each form varied between years and branches. Classroom discussion starters and public library displays are launched from these primary sources. Finally, Mr. St. John's farm information can be found in the Selected Federal Census Non-Population Schedules, 1850-1880. This collection is a fun way to recreate a region or township or neighborhood with accuracy. It includes agriculture as well as industry and manufacturing. Searching by keyword (blacksmith, farmer, etc.) is a way to envision your ancestor or town through the lens of livelihood. Other unique collections in HQO are the Mortality Schedules (useful for tracing and documenting genetic symptoms and diseases as they list causes of death), Library of Congress Photo Collection (think photos of Carnegie Libraries or faces of Hoovervilles), Indexed Early Land Ownership and Township Plats, and even records from South America, Caribbean, and Central America. You can find additional help for using the great resources at HeritageQuest here: https://proquest.libguides.com/hqo. [MICHIGAN e LIBRARY] Brought to you by the MeL Team.

They do a very professional job and they are not outrageous. Here's the website: www.bessenberg.com Call and talk with them before you go. You can stop in to see the books they've done for us, if you want. Wendy Mutch -- The HF Group has been good for us, but now, the order has to be at least $100. http://www.hfgroup.com/ They?re pretty reasonable, though. Mimi Herrington, Director Bad Axe Area District Library 200 S. Hanselman Street Bad Axe, MI 48413 989 .269.8538 (Phone) 989.269.2411 (Fax) www.badaxelibrary.org -- Hi Kelly: I highly recommend Leonard's Books Restoration http://www.leonardsbooks.com/. We have had work done on precious historical items and have been most satisfied. Yes, they will do just one item. They are very easy to work with and, I feel, reasonable in price. You package the items up, send them off with an order form (can get on their Web page). They let you know when the item is received and respond within a few days with an estimate. If you don't wish to move forward, they'll simply return. If you wish to move forward, they'll give you an estimated date of completion and let you know when the item is ready. You can pay with a credit card or send a check. All people that I communicated with were pleasant and knowledgeable. Again, we were pleased with the work. -- Hi Kelly, We use TLN's bindery service. We're very happy. $7 per book (or something close to that). Matt Matt Church, Library Director Berkley Public Library 3155 Coolidge Hwy . Berkley, MI 48072 248-658-3449 mchurch at berkley.lib.mi.us www.berkley.lib.mi.us -- Kelly Marlo Broad at the Alpena County Library does old book repair. The library can be reached at 989-356-6188. Marlo is the head of Special Collections. I don?t know what Marlo charges but it?s worth a call. If you sent her a few photos she could possibly send you an estimate. Christine Wedge -- Hi Kelly We use the HF Group http://www.hfgroup.com/ We have a contract. I don't know if they will do a few volumes. They do have a service for creating archival boxes that are sized for the book. Here is a link for info on that service http://ecsconservation.com/services/archival-enclosures/ We have gotten the KASEbox Fluted boxes. They work well. I hope this helps.

I have a question for those of you who have small, two-story buildings. I have a two-story building. The top floor holds the collection, and is nearly full. The bottom floor is currently unused; but people in the community have been asking whether it is available for use. There will soon be a need for inside programming, which our top floor cannot currently My question is how have you utilized your limited space? Would you describe your layout? Where are your collections located? How do you handle inside programming? Have you made any of the area multi-purpose use? I would greatly appreciate hearing how other libraries utilize their limited space. Thank you.

Message-ID: Ploud (Public Libraries in the Cloud) is a feature-rich and easy to use library-specific website template used in a variety of states. Over 100 libraries in Michigan use Ploud. * It includes an advanced calendar, carousels, the ability to use drag and drop elements to create your own page layouts, Google mapping for your library location, and many more bonuses. Event registration software is currently in Beta. * There is a minimal price tag for the libraries with the remainder of the cost paid for with Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) dollars. This year, the cost to each library will be $200. LM conducts full-day, regional training around the state in the fall. The vendor maintains a help desk year round. * Ploud provides an easy-to-learn, easy-to-update website template with four different themes ("looks") that each have between four and a dozen color schemes. It is designed for libraries without specialized technology staff but it is easily expandable for libraries that wish to do more. Most libraries who use Ploud are single buildings but Michigan has several library systems with multiple branches who make good use of Ploud. * The technology "heavy lifting" of versioning, programming, security, and product updates is done by the vendor, Enfold Systems. * You can view more about Ploud at http://www.michlibrary.org/. Here are some example sites to give you an idea of what you can expect from Ploud: * http://www.buchananlibrary.org/ * http://www.cadillaclibrary.org/ * http://www.camdenlibrary.org/ * http://hart.ploud.net/ The LM is currently accepting new applications for Ploud libraries in Michigan.

Thank you to all the libraries who provided feedback! Danielle Fox We do not use locking cases here in Dearborn Heights. We have our empty cases out on the floor and our DVDs are stored in plastic bins (shoe size) in the paper sleeves, numbered and labeled to correspond with numbers and labels inside the empty cases on the floor. I'm not sure how much room you have but this takes up less room than storing them in cases. We get about 125 sleeves per plastic bin. I can send you a picture if you like. This does not come without fault though. We do have the occasional oops where the wrong DVD is given out but that is purely someone not paying attention to what they are doing. It is a little daunting at times when you have to fill TV series and there are 6 discs per case but we only allow 5 DVDs to go out at a time so it isn't too bad. We use locking cases from Midwesttapes which also does our processing. They are available elsewhere too. Here is the information from their website. We use the single, double, 4 and 6 disc sizes. They are the same size as the regular display cases. You will need a decoupler to lock and unlock them also available from MWT. This is a huge project for us and we are still retrofitting our collection. We use drawers with sleeves to store the discs (example: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Hipce-One-Touch-CD-DVD-Storage-Box-Grey-Holds-80-Disks-Lock-with-Keys/322917351458?hash=item4b2f5fc022:g:KC8AAOSw8b1aSaT8), so no extra cases. Each disc is numbered as it comes in and goes into a corresponding numbered sleeve. The exception is mult-disc television series; those we store in their cases behind the counter and put a dummy case with artwork on the browsing shelf. We used to use this system with all videos, but 1.5 years ago we stopped charging for video lends and dropped the overdue fees to match those of our books. Usage skyrocketed--so did the amount of time pulling discs--and one of the primary incentives for theft (to avoid paying a rental fee) was removed. So I started storing older, less popular discs in the cases; all of the special features discs are left in the cases; any videos that are donated (not purchased) are stored in the cases. I haven't noticed much theft so far, but I don't have concrete inventory figures to confirm this. We're working on a plan to relocate the collection so it is easily visible from the circulation counter, and at that time (if inventory data supports it) we will begin storing all but the newest videos in their cases--and they won't be locking cases. We have not had much theft and we keep our DVD?s on the shelf for patrons to see. We are a small library in a small community which may make a difference. We use to do that with our musical CDs -- having the actual CD behind circ. I found that to be too time consuming and the CDs are out in the public area in their case.. Our DVDs are out for the public also and NOT in locking cases. Looking into the cost of locking cases, we found that the cost for them, vs actual loss of DVDs, it was not a good financial decision to buy the locking cases. (Plus staff time involved to lock/unlock them). If any loss of DVDs it is more of people checking them out and not returning them instead of theft. My current library has locking cases, and they do an excellent job of preventing theft. There was a cost and time investment in switching over, and some ongoing cost in purchasing the cases and locking mechanisms. That switch was made before I came, and my own experience with the cases was that it was an adjustment for me to learn to unlock them as part of the checkout process. It seemed unwieldy at first, but within a quite short time it became second nature. I wouldn?t consider that to be a serious roadblock in the way of getting locking cases, just be aware you?ll need to prepare staff carefully and get them over the ?hump? of a new process. The only other issue with locking cases that perhaps you have already considered is that they are not compatible with the self-checkout process. We have a self-checkout station at our library and every once in a while a patron ?checks out? a DVD there, and gets home only to discover they can?t watch the DVD because it?s still locked. As far as other ways to store DVDs: a previous library used a system similar to the one you?re using now, and had the same issue of space. We didn?t have the money to switch to locking cases, so we retained the same basic system (keeping DVDs behind the desk), but devised a different way to store the DVDs that used space more efficiently. It worked well. Here is an article that refers to something similar to what we did: http://ideas.demco.com/blog/space-saving-tip-media-collection-youll-want-try/ . The browser packs we used had a sleeve designed to hold the paper cover from the DVD case, and a place to insert a header with any title/filing information we wanted to use. It also had a pocket that would hold a second, smaller plastic envelope with the actual DVD in it. We kept the DVDs behind the desk in the small plastic envelopes, and just inserted them into the browser packs when a patron brought them to the desk. Everything was numbered, so it was easy to match them up. I will say that we do keep our new release movies behind the counter still because theft was a big issue for a few months as the locked cases can be jimmied open with a screwdriver. Our new releases stopped going missing after we moved the discs to behind the circ desk. 1. The only real issue I personally have with the cases is that the do take up more room on our shelves. They're also not totally theft-proof but I'm not sure anything really is. 2. See statement above regarding new releases. I do know other libraries that keep the discs in the cases and the cases aren't in locked cases. They don't seem to have a noticeable theft issue but I'm also hyper-aware of theft here since we did previously have an issue. 3. I couldn't think of another alternative so if you get some suggestions, I'd love to hear them! We use the locked cases and don?t find them too cumbersome. We do have the occasional problem when staff forget to unlock the cases before the patron leaves with the DVDs. Our DVDs would disappear if we had them out for the public. The cases are displayed and our dvds are behind the desk in holding machines. Each machine holds 150 dvds. I know some libraries have used these machines and hated them. We use them everyday and we think they are the best solution for the problem. We have them stacked on top of one another. Each machine has a rotating spinner that holds the disk. Each disk has a number so we can easily retrieve and return the disk. If you want to know the name of the machines, etc. I can get that for you. The company that made them is out of business and we have been able to buy some used machines from other libraries to continue to grow. I would love to hear the responses. We have always just put out the DVDs in their cases and had some theft, but not much. This year we have lost a lot. Entire series have been stolen. Almost all of the missing DVDs were last checked out last summer, so this is a recent phenomenon. We don't have room behind the desk to store the actual DVDs so I may have to consider locking cases, or another way I haven't considered either. Last year, we replaced all our old Kwik cases with locking cases and I would highly recommend them. They take up a lot less space and the DVDs are secure. They are much easier to unlock and less cumbersome than the old cases. I would highly recommend them. We get ours from BayScan Technologies. If you are buying in bulk, I would ask for a discount. We, too, have been keeping the discs in cabinets behind the checkout desk. We are currently in the process of switching over to stingray RFID tags that go over the disc. So far, so good :) We have a totally different system for our DVDs. I am guessing that you would not want to change, but you did ask for any other ways of storage. We have flip books that have the information about our DVDs out for our patrons to look through. Each page has a pocket with a circulation card. (Old school, I know, but they are the only circulation cards that we still use.) If the card is missing, the DVD is checked out. Our DVDs are stored in notebooks in the office. We have a stash of generic DVD boxes in the office. We have over 1,000 DVDs stored in notebooks on two shelves. The patron brings the circulation card to the desk; the staff person goes into the office, gets the notebook with that number, pulls the DVD and puts it into a box; puts the circulation card into the DVD notebook pocket and returns to the desk to check out the DVD. We used to keep all of our DVDs boxed and in the office, but we ran out of space. We considered a lot of options, but this one worked for us. We have locked cases for our dvds and they are the size of a regular dvd cases. You need a special tool to unlock them and we have had times where we couldn't get the lock out and we have had to break the lock to get access to the dvds but it hasn't been very many. We have always had a theft problem for our dvds (and our library in general) but we don't have any type of security system preventing it either; they just take the dvd in the locking case. We have discovered that they can use a carpet knife or something similar to slice open the case at the spine and then they can remove the dvd. We are switching to a different kind of case which also can be jimmied open if they do enough playing around with it. If you have a security system, it will be harder for them to steal. If you have a security system and a locked case, fewer dvds would be stolen. I don't think there is an easy theft proof solution; its whatever works best for your library. I would not put the dvds out without putting them in a locking case though; much easier for discs to come up missing. At another library that I worked at, we had the cds in paper sleeves behind the desk and put it in the dvd case when the patron checked it out. The discs were numbered and it was easier than trying to find a title. Also, if the dvd case came up missing, it wasn't a big deal, we still had the dvd itself and could recreate the dvd case. we too started by displaying the empty cases and storing the DVD?s behind the desk but as the collection grew that became too difficult so we then just placed them on the shelves. Theft was huge, we began discovering empty cases on the shelves so we went with the locking cases. They aren?t too cumbersome, biggest problem is staff remembering to remove the lock. This has greatly reduced theft of the DVD?s but we do occasionally have one or two returned broken because a patron has tried to remove the lock themselves. We now place a label inside stating that we will extend the check-out time if the patron returns and has the lock removed. we started off the same way your library has with our DVD collection. We too were running out of room. We did invest in locking Cades and it had worked out great for us. We have been using them for 3 years and have only had a couple of cases become defective. They unlock and lock easily and the process is less cumbersome than before. Theft for us is now almost nonexistence where before we saw more. It cost us around $1,000 3 years ago to convert all our Adult and Children's DVDS and Teen video games to the new cases and to get a key to unlock the cases. I estimate that was about 2,000 separate items. With my large Children's DVD collection, I am landlocked as far as growth goes, so just recently I have started weeding out a lot of my oldest DVDs to make room for new items. That is one thought. Also, we LOVE our locking DVD cases in both the Children's Section and the Adult Collection! They are worth the price! You have to have a stationary gizmo at the Circulation Desk to slide the cases through to unlock them at checkout time and relock them at checkin time, but that is no big deal. You just get in the rhythm of it. And think of the storage space you would gain in the Circulation Area! My prediction is that if you left the DVDs out accessible to patrons in unlocked cases, yes, they would indeed be stolen. The cases might remain, but the DVDs themselves would be stolen. Too much temptation!! We had the same issue, so we had a local carpenter build us some drawers to organize and best use the space we had behind the desk.. We're looking at expanding to another set now. We have about 6,000-6,500 DVDs in our adult room collection. We use a couple different types of locking cases, both are easy to use and not too cumbersome. We have locking cases we put the entire DVD case into, and we've been slowly transitioning to using DVD cases that themselves lock. Those are One-Time security cases, which you can get with single or multiple DVD capacity. They were a bit more expensive to set up (you need the key to lock/unlock the cases, which runs over $150), but they're quick and straightforward to use, and don't take up any additional space. Hope that helps! -- Adult Services Manager Holly Township Library 1116 N.

This webinar aims to supply librarians with the knowledge, tools, and plans necessary to merchandise their own libraries. Visual merchandising is not just a tool for retail establishments. When done well, it can create a dynamic environment that encourages the customer to stay longer, check out more materials, and return for more. Public libraries can embrace the knowledge that retail stores have long used by taking some basic steps and applying some simple principles to organize library materials in a way that attracts attention and promotes use. At the end of this one-hour webinar, participants will: . Learn the importance of library material presentation through visual merchandising in terms of customer reactions and expectations, as well as cultural trends . Understand which changes to library merchandising should be considered to positively affect circulation and how to begin implementing those changes . Understand the basic principles of visual merchandising in a way that is specifically complimentary to books and other library materials . Be familiar with potential challenges and solutions that are inherent in the diverse buildings, shelving, staffing levels, and amount of materials owned by different libraries Register Now. Evette M.

Voter Perceptions of Libraries: Getting from Awareness to Funding in 2018 Tuesday, April 17, 2018 ? 3:00 pm Eastern / 12:00 pm Pacific ? 60 minutes Registration: https://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/voter-perceptions-of-libraries.html In 2008, OCLC published From Awareness to Funding: A Study of Library Support in America, a study of the awareness, attitudes, and underlying motivations among US voters for supporting library funding. The research dispelled long-held assumptions and provided eye-opening insights about who supports public library funding and for what reasons. A decade later, OCLC has partnered with PLA and the ALA Office for Library Advocacy to investigate perceptions and support among US voters today, and how they may have shifted in the intervening years. In this session, presenters will share key findings and analysis from summary report (due to be released in late March); provide new details on library super supporters and probable supporters in context with other library trends and research; and kickstart the discussion on how library leaders and advocates can act on these findings. Presented by: Marci Merola, Director, American Library Association Office for Library Advocacy; Larra Clark, Deputy Director, ALA Office for Information Technology Policy and the Public Library Association; and Sharon Streams, Director, WebJunction, OCLC Research Webinar Series: Evaluating and Sharing Your Library's Impact Ensure your library?s programs and services are meeting patrons? needs and exceeding expectations by using evaluation techniques that demonstrate results. This three-part webinar series on user-centered assessment and evaluation will help you go from gut instinct to data-supported proof.

But shouldn't this learning culture also extend to library boards? At the State Library of Iowa, we say yes! Trustees can and should play a key role in fostering a culture of learning at their libraries?beginning with themselves. When library boards embrace a learning culture, they become more receptive to supporting continuing education, in policy, planning, and budgeting. This webinar presents ideas for growing board learning into a blossoming culture that motivates board members to see education and training as a natural part of their trusteeship. Presented by: Bonnie McKewon, Consultant, State Library of Iowa, Northwest District Free access to these webinars are brought to you, in part, by the Institute of Museum & Library Services. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The second-annual StoryWalk, a collaboration of the LM, Michigan Department of Education's (MDE) Low-Incidence Outreach (MDE-LIO), and Braille and Talking Book Library (BTBL), is a fun, educational activity designed to inspire parents and caregivers to take young children outdoors to engage in literacy and physical activities. "By including braille, local libraries help embrace accessibility and equal access to information," State Superintendent Brian Whiston said. "We encourage families to explore these stories by touch and reading aloud." He said the 32 libraries offering this year's StoryWalk are encouraged to collaborate with local parks and recreation departments on where to display it. The hosting libraries are: * Alpena County George N. Fletcher Public Library * Bay County Library System - Auburn Branch * Bloomfield Township Public Library * Canton Public Library * Capitol Area District Libraries * Charlotte Community Library * Clarkston Independence District Library * Cromaine District Library * Croton Township Library * Detroit Public Library - Main Library * Detroit Public Library - Douglass Branch LBPH * Dickinson County Library - Main Branch * East Lansing Public Library * Farmington Community Library Downtown Branch * Ferndale Area District Library * Frankenmuth Wickson District Library * Grace A.

Our World Book databases are some of our most popular, with Early World of Learning nearing 100,000 retrievals for March alone! Try out their reading section where users can dive into both classics and World Book originals to read along and practice their comprehension skills. The Trek's Travels section is a great early literacy resource with topics covering shapes, sounds, colors, and other fundamentals in both English and Spanish. At the bottom of each story is a list of related topics, whether videos, encyclopedia entries, or other stories, that allows children to continue to learn more about the story they just read. The games section of the website has even more options, including "Put the Story in Order" games that test reading comprehension. Don't have a lot of time for in-depth training? World Book Online includes a training section with screenshot walk throughs that are easy to minimize if you have to quickly help a patron, and just as easy to return to. Have 15 minutes for a full video tutorial? They have that as well. [MICHIGAN e LIBRARY] Brought to you by Kathy Kosinski of the MeL Team.

Bernie most recently served as the New York State Librarian. Bernie was the most passionate of library champions and served the American Library Association in many roles including that of ALA Councilman.

He was fantastic and has the qualities that every Children's Librarian who books performers desires! Mike was very personable, both in his e-mail correspondence and in person. He was patient and willing to work with us as we made several attempts to find a compatible booking date. He came prepared, on time, and full of energy, even though we were his third program of the day! We so enjoyed Mike's excellent accordion playing and his patter. We sang along, danced the Chicken Dance and the Hokey Pokey, and clapped along to a variety of songs played polka style! He often asked for young volunteers to come up and participate in funny trivia questions about rocks. He was able to ad lib, which is a necessity when working with children! He has a very descriptive website and offers a variety of programs, including the one which revolves around the this year's CSLP SRP theme, "Libraries Rock!" His prices are reasonable and our program was funded via TDL's Friends Group. He lives in Wisconsin but performs often in Michigan. He will offer a discount when he can schedule performances for more than one library in a day. Check out his website at www.pintsizepolkas.com We received many compliments from parents for a fun-filled evening!

He was a leader and a fighter for libraries of all kinds. We often called him Bernie "Let's Make a Deal" Margolis and presented him a t-shirt with that on it. He was always trying to save the co-op libraries money. When a group of us were going to MLA in San Francisco, he found us a great hotel with rates far below the ALA rates, right across from one of the big hotels and a block from the cable car turnaround. You could always count on Bernie for good advice, counsel or a shoulder to cry on if there was a problem at your library. We had good times at the MLA Leadership Conference held at Meadowbrook Hall for several years and I have pictures to prove it! When he left for Colorado, it was, until now, one of the saddest days of my life. Bernie was the best of professionals. My thoughts and prayers go to Amanda and his family.

April 16, 2018. Kalamazoo Public Library (KPL) and Kalamazoo Public Schools (KPS) have long been recognized in the Kalamazoo community as champions for childhood literacy. With this legacy in mind, KPL and KPS have partnered to create OneCard, a shared card that serves as both a library card and a student ID. Also, to prevent the typical loss of skills most students experience during the summer known as ?summer slide,? KPL and KPS will be offering fun programs that will keep Kalamazoo children reading all summer long! Kalamazoo Public Library Summer Reading Challenge kicks off on June 1. Those that accept the challenge will trek ?Around the World in 90 Days? by reading a suggested book from each continent. Unlike many other summer reading programs, KPL?s lasts all summer long and includes prizes for every 15, 30, 45 and 60 days of reading for kids and teens, and a 60-day prize for adults! Participants can play online or pick up a game board at any KPL location beginning June 1. Information about the Summer Reading Challenge can be found at kpl.gov/summer. Kalamazoo Public Schools will continue its summer literacy efforts through two programs. The district will once again send books to children entering third through sixth grade to encourage summer reading. The children will receive one book every 10 days for the duration of the summer holiday. And, for the second year, KPS will open five elementary school libraries, so students can continue to visit and check out books from their schools. This year, libraries will be open at Arcadia Elementary School, Edison Environmental Science Academy, Lincoln International Studies School, Spring Valley Center for Exploration and Washington Writers' Academy. The libraries will be open two days a week. Also during the summer, KPL and KPS will be coordinating efforts to launch a landmark program: OneCard, an innovative collaboration with one goal ? a Kalamazoo Public Library card for every Kalamazoo Public Schools student. ?The goals of OneCard are simple: to create an incredibly easy process for KPS students to get a library card, visit their library, check out books and most importantly to develop a love for reading,? said Kalamazoo Public Library Director Ryan Wieber. Beginning this fall, all KPS students, faculty and staff will automatically be enrolled in the OneCard program. OneCard provides full access to all KPL print, AV and online materials. ONeCard was created to enrich and support school instruction complementing the resources available through school libraries with access to KPL?s physical and electronic resources. OneCard also reduces potential barriers associated with registering for a library card, visiting KPL and accessing its collections. "We have long appreciated our partnership with the Kalamazoo Public Library. We particularly appreciate this new joint initiative, which will give thousands of our children library cards that they would not otherwise have had and which will open up whole new worlds for our kids as a result," said KPS Superintendent Dr. Michael Rice. Additional information and promotions for OneCard will be released in May. #### Farrell Howe Marketing and Communication Manager Kalamazoo Public Library 269-553-7879 [id:image001.png at 01D38872.8E813CC0] -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

"Students and their families will learn how to use Dual Enrollment and Early/Middle College programs to earn college credits before leaving high school," said State Superintendent Brian Whiston. "Providing multiple pathways to learning is the linchpin to helping Michigan become a Top 10 education state in 10 years. We need to promote and nurture these strategies." Staff will meet with teachers, counselors, and administrators to discuss student options as they transition to college and careers, and then host free evening sessions for students and parents interested in reducing college tuition and expenses through early college credits. Early/Middle College programs allow students to earn a high school diploma and substantial college credit through a fifth year of study. Programs can begin as early as the ninth grade, and are located within a school, intermediate school district (ISD), or college campus. The model is most beneficial for economically-disadvantaged and first-generation college students, as well as those students who are underserved, underachieving, or underrepresented. Dual enrollment allows eligible students, starting in ninth grade, to enroll in up to 10 postsecondary courses throughout their high school careers. Dual enrollment courses may be taken on college campuses, online, or through a concurrent enrollment program established by a school district. Last year, Michigan paid more than $40 million in dual enrollment fees for about 28,000 students, who earned over 81,000 postsecondary credits. MDE staff also will share Work-Based Learning requirements for students and employers, as formal school-business partnerships can help students better prepare for meaningful careers and create a pipeline of future employees. Brochures distributed at each session will provide basic information on Dual Enrollment, Early/Middle Colleges, and Work-Based Learning. Light refreshments also will be available. Meeting locations are as follows: * April 30, 6-7:30 p.m., Library of Michigan, Lansing, michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan * May 1, 6:30-8 p.m., Detroit Public Library, Detroit, detroitpubliclibrary.org * May 9, 5:30-7 p.m., Kirtland Community College, Grayling, kirtland.edu * May 10, 5-6:30 p.m., Muskegon Innovation Hub, Muskegon, gvsu.edu.mihub * May 21, 7-8 p.m., Delta-Schoolcraft ISD, Escanaba, dsisd.net * May 22, 5:30-7 p.m., Dickinson-Iron ISD, Kingsford, diisd.org * May 23, time TBD, Lake Superior State University, Sault Ste.

Little Free Library Libraries hold a valued and valuable role in scholarly communication. With the advent of online communications and increasing competition in both scholarly outlets and tenured roles on campuses, how scholars contribute to academic discourse has become increasingly complicated, and libraries have taken on more in this area. In the public sector, libraries are working more with nontraditional education venues and finding greater need for understanding and utilizing scholarly communications formerly reserved for academia. ALAO seeks submissions for the ?Scholarly Communication and Library Management? volume that delve beyond examples and case studies to look at how libraries can deepen their role in scholarly communication and strengthen services and resources for scholars and peers. Proposals in the following areas would be of particular interest: * Improving understanding around research methods * The civility movement in public libraries and its counterpart in scholarly communication * The role of libraries in critically evaluating information resources * How libraries teach the basics of scholarly communication * How libraries can benefit and utilize scholarly communication * How public libraries can support online education users * The management of online academic discourse * Scholarly communication in the non-print world This will be the first volume of Advances in Library Administration and Organization (ALAO) to publish in 2019. About the Advances in Library Administration and Organization series ALAO offers long-form research, comprehensive discussions of theoretical developments, and in-depth accounts of evidence-based practice in library administration and organization. The series answers the questions, ?How have libraries been managed, and how should they be managed?? It goes beyond a platform for the sharing of research to provide a venue for dialogue across issues, in a way that traditional peer reviewed journals cannot. Through this series, practitioners can glean new approaches in challenging times and collaborate on the exploration of scholarly solutions to professional quandaries. How to submit We are currently seeking proposals for the 2019 volume on Scholarly Communication and Library Management. If you are interested in contributing to this volume, please send a proposal including author details and estimated length of final submission to Samantha Hines at shines at pencol.edu by May 30, 2018. Submission deadlines Submission deadline for proposals: May 30, 2018 Notification of acceptance sent by: July 1, 2018 Submission deadline for full chapters: December 1, 2018 Comments returned to authors: January 15, 2019 Submission deadline for chapter revisions: February 28, 2019 -- Beth Martin Head of Professional Programs GVSU Libraries DEV 132A martelia at gvsu.edu 616.331.7344 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Welcome new members! Jill Wioskowski, a graduate of Wayne State University, absolutely loves all things MeLCat and is beginning her 2nd term on the committee. She brings to the table small and rural library perspective and experience (class 1-3 libraries) as she has worked as a Director at Deckerville Public Library and Millington Arbela District Library. In April, she begins her new position as a Librarian at Dearborn Heights Public Library. Fun fact: Wioskowski has the cover of Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury tattooed on her leg. Jill C. Wioskowski, MLIS Library Director Millington Arbela District Library I'm the Head of Reference and Adult Services, and the guy who handles most of our MeLCat. I love that because of MeLCat our patrons have access to materials that they otherwise wouldn't be able to get through the library system. What's even more gratifying to me, though, is to be able to give a bigger audience to the offbeat items we have that aren't widely held. Ed Burns Head of Reference and Adult Services Ferndale Area District Library My name is Anita Chouinard. I am the Circulation Coordinator at the Woodmere branch of the Traverse Area District Library (TADL). One of my duties is being the "MeLCat expert" for TADL. I joined the MeLCat Advisory Committee because I want to work with other libraries to help find ways to improve MeLCat for everyone. I hope to learn from those who have been on the committee for a while and to also bring a fresh perspective as a new member. This experience will allow me to better help TADL staff, and our patrons. Anita Chouinard Circulation Coordinator Traverse Area District Library Hello, I'm Joelle Hannert, Coordinator of Tech Services at Northwestern Michigan College Library! I've just been appointed to my second term as a member of the MeLCat Advisory Committee. I'm so proud of the work that MeLCat does, especially in equalizing access to information for library users. As part of the committee, I'm looking forward to advising on cataloging issues that will improve the MeLCat database. Joelle Hannert Library Technical Services Coordinator Northwestern Michigan College My name is Abigayle Quinlan, and I am Interlibrary Loan Manager for Cheboygan Area Public Library.

At the time, we had a vague idea that you, our members, could help us do a better job of determining potential new vendors or products, and we could, in turn, provide you a secure place to discuss those products and vendors with us and with each other. With one year behind us, we want to share the results of our collaboration. In our first year: ? Fifty-five librarians representing all library types across both Indiana and Michigan reviewed 11 products from eight vendors. ? PALs submitted 39 survey responses after completing trials and evaluating products from BiblioBoards, Auto Finance Center, Demco, Niche Academy, Press Reader, Reprints Desk, SirsiDynix, and Statista. ? We started a new group purchase with Statista, based on your feedback and interest. ? We provided all the vendors with valuable information to help them better align their offerings and products with member needs. Some of you may have even decided on direct purchases, in instances where a group purchase wasn?t warranted. We also used what we learned from our members to create an Expression of Interest for new business prospects. This tool makes it easier for businesses who want to work with MCLS to understand what it means to work with a consortium ? what our expectations are for our members in terms of value, service, and central licensing, as well as what we?ll provide in return as we work together to help our libraries maximize their budget dollars. As we begin our second year of this group, we want to say thank you to all the PALs of MCLS for your time throughout the year. Your feedback was essential in helping Group Purchasing improve how we advocate on your behalf. We are always looking for more feedback. If you?re interested in becoming a PAL, please complete this brief form. We typically reach out up to four times per year, with several trials for you to choose from each time. You would test drive products that interest you and answer a brief survey when you?re done. For more information, or if you have any questions, please email Group Purchasing at services at mcls.org or call Chrystal Babbitt at (800) 530-9019 ext 401. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The proposed amendment to ALA Policy A.4.1.1, which would require ALA?s next executive director to hold an ALA-accredited master?s degree was not approved. A minimum of 25 percent of ALA members was required to vote in order to carry the amendment forward. A total of 10,405 voted on this question, representing 20.79 percent of the eligible voters. 3,890 voted for MLS preferred, and 6,515 voted for MLS required. The Executive Board will now proceed with planning for the search process. By a vote of 7,663 to 2,684 personal member dues will increase between $1 and $5 in September 2018, depending upon the membership type. On a separate measure, by a vote of 7,420 to 2,862, ALA members approved a dues adjustment that will increase association dues over the next five years not to exceed the percentage change in the national average Consumer Price Index (CPI), with the review and approval of the ALA Executive Board. http://www.ala.org/news/press-releases/2018/04/ala-announces-election-ballot-measure-results ALA Nominating committee seeks candidates for 2019 election The Nominating Committee for the 2019 ALA election is soliciting nominees to run on the 2019 spring ballot for the offices of ALA President-elect, Treasurer, and Councilor-at-large.

To help guide local communities during this time of rapid social change, libraries and librarians are developing programs, services and collections that are as diverse as the populations they serve. On April 30, hundreds of libraries across the country will celebrate D?a, a national library program that fosters literacy for all children from all backgrounds by connecting children and families to books, stories and other library resources.

Choose Privacy Week (May 1-8), the American Library Association's annual, week-long event that promotes the importance of individual privacy rights and celebrates libraries and librarians' unique role in protecting privacy, focuses on growing threat of "big data" analytics, especially in a time when technology, mobile computing, social media, and the growing adoption of "big data" analytics pose new threats to everyone's right to privacy. Choose Privacy Week offers libraries and librarians a special opportunity to host privacy-centered programming, displays, and other learning opportunities that assist patrons and librarians alike to learn, think critically and make more informed choices about privacy. http://www.ala.org/news/press-releases/2018/04/choose-privacy-week-2018-big-data-watching-you Selection Committee appointed for the 2019 Andrew Carnegie Medals The 2019 selection committee is starting work on picking the longlist for the prestigious Andrew Carnegie Medals for Excellence in Fiction and Nonfiction, now in their eighth year.

The discussion, moderated by National Museum of the American Indian Librarian Elayne Silversmith, focused on how broadband connectivity and telecommunications infrastructure in Tribal and rural regions advances education, provides economic opportunity and can close the digital divide. "For many people in Tribal and rural areas, the lack of high-speed internet access means that competing in today?s economy is a steep climb and becoming steeper," said ALA President Jim Neal. "Public libraries across America provide internet-enabled technologies and other resources to meet the needs of their communities. And yet Tribal and rural library broadband capacity currently falls far short of the FCC?s benchmarks set for U.S. home access." http://www.ala.org/news/press-releases/2018/04/ala-panel-capitol-hill-leverage-libraries-e-rate-improve-tribal-rural-access Libraries welcome House Administration Committee approval of FDLP Modernization Act National library associations last week praised the Committee on House Administration?s approval of the FDLP Modernization Act (H.R. 5305).

As part of their research, they?re seeking feedback on a survey from youth services staff across the country. If you?re willing, please send out the info below to youth services staff in your state; thanks for your help! Do you, as library staff, offer programs and services out in community locations to reach and serve children and families in underserved communities? If so, researchers at the University of Washington Information School invite you to participate in a virtual survey about programs and services you are offering outside of library walls for children and families in underserved communities. Click the link below to learn more about the study or to give your consent to complete the survey. UW Project LOCAL Survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2NNYGDG Once you click on the link, you will be taken to a consent form where you can choose whether or not to participate in the study. If you choose to participate, you will be taken directly into the survey. This survey should take less than 30 minutes to complete. If at any time during the survey you would prefer not to finish, you can stop. We will keep each individual?s responses confidential. We will not disclose which libraries were represented nor who did or did not participate in the study. If you have any questions about the study please contact the Project LOCAL team at localuw at uw.edu.

My logic: cushioned chairs get gross after a few years because of the great unwashed and spilled beverages that shouldn't even be by the computers anyway. No cushion also encourages people to either get up and step away from the computer once in a while and/or not to linger beyond a reasonable amount of public computer time.

Message-ID: LIBRARY DIRECTOR, DES MOINES (IA) PUBLIC LIBRARY-Closes Sunday, April 29 Plan for tomorrow as the next Library Director of the Des Moines Public Library! The Board of Trustees of the Des Moines (IA) Public Library seeks a forward-thinking and creative Director to develop and implement collaborative, community library services. The library serves 215,000+ residents from a central library (an architectural icon) and five branches anchoring neighborhoods by providing convenient access to library programs. Key opportunities include developing a new strategic vision, restoring hours of operation, and working closely with the City of Des Moines and with the Library Foundation to seek new streams of revenue. With a dedicated staff (93.7FTE), a committed Library Board, a $8.5 million annual budget, and a successful Library Foundation-the library can continue to be an agent for positive change contributing to economic development, community building and academic achievement. As Iowa's capital city, Des Moines is a small city with big city amenities. Noted for being one of Expedia's Most Artistic Towns in America and one of the Top 10 Places to Live in the U.S. (U.S. News & World Report, 2017), the city is a hub of government action, business activity, arts and cultural affairs-with much of the activity focused on the reinvigorated downtown area where the central library is a centerpiece. The library can be a key participant with the city as it looks to the future with its Forward Plan and the Capital Crossroads Plan. Des Moines is also home to good public services and friendly, cohesive neighborhoods. Additional information on the library, city and position can be found at Des Moines Links. Responsibilities. Under the direction of the Library Board of Trustees, the Library Director is a visionary for the Des Moines Public Library. The director will communicate with the Library Board, the City of Des Moines, the community and the library staff. The director will advocate for the Library in all communications. The Director of the Des Moines Public Library reports to a five-member Library Board of Trustees and partners with city officials as a city department head to achieve the library's mission, goals and objectives within the context of community needs and priorities. Overall responsibilities include: fostering effective internal and external communications with the community, city officials, the Library Board, the Library Foundation, and library staff; proposing recommendations and implementing board policies and operating procedures reflecting the reality of the current economic environment; developing the library staff as a strong team through leadership, mentoring and providing staff development opportunities; providing sound fiscal management while seeking additional revenue sources; working with the Library Foundation; and exploring and developing collaborative relationships with a variety of local, regional and statewide organizations and agencies. Qualifications. A master's degree in library science from an ALA-accredited program is required. Five years of increasingly responsible management experience in a public library setting is preferred. Experience in a multi-branch library; a minimum of five years of executive level experience as director of a library or deputy, assistant, or associate director of a comparable or larger system; experience reporting to a governing board; and experience in a union environment are all highly desirable. Essential attributes include energy and enthusiasm; personal integrity; and excellent interpersonal skills; thorough knowledge of financial management; collaboration and consensus-building skills; sensitivity, flexibility, and creativity; and a solid understanding of philosophy, trends and "best practices" in the library and information technology fields. The Library Director must live in the City of Des Moines. Compensation. A starting salary range of $125,000-155,000 (with placement negotiable, dependent upon experience and qualifications) and an excellent fringe benefits package. For more information, contact Bradbury Miller Associates.

Attached (and below) are the responses I received pertaining to Library Card Applications. Thank you to everyone who provided some insight on this question! *Library Card Application Responses* *Does your library take paper library card applications? Have you transitioned to online?* *Are paper copies kept on file? How long do you keep them on file?* 1. Houghton Lake Public Library - We do not use applications. We ask for ID and enter the patron directly into the system. Additionally, we offer online registration through our ILS. 2. James White Library - *Does your library take paper library card applications? Have you transitioned to online? *Yes. Not yet, but we have a lot of procedures in transition right now. *Are paper copies kept on file? How long do you keep them on file?* Yes. 1-year current, plus 1 year previous (I believe). I think we also keep expired delinquent patrons on file. Of course, we are an academic library, and the bulk (probably more than 90%) of our patrons do not have to apply for cards. They are automatically uploaded into our patron load upon registration/employment. We require local ID, and issue them within a 100-mile radius. 3. Eau Claire District Library - We do still use paper application cards. Our staff enters the information online while the patron is standing there, so if they have any questions (or can't read the writing) they can get the correct information. We do keep the cards and file them at the circulation desk. We usually keep them forever. If we know that someone has moved, died or no longer is able to use the library, we will pull them. That being said, we probably should go through them and weed out people that haven't used the library in the past 10 years. 4. Dickinson County Library - At Dickinson we require a paper application be completed in person at the library. For children under 18 we require the parent/guardian also sign the application in person. We have the capability to allow patrons to sign up online but we have not begun using that option. We keep the paper copies on file unless the account is removed from the system. Users with no activity for 3 years and no fees over $5 are removed annually. That list is used to purge the paper files. Otherwise, we keep the applications indefinitely. 5. T.A. Cutler Memorial Library - We still require a paper library card application. We do not issue any cards online at this time. We keep paper copies on file until the patron record is deleted from the system (approximately 4 to 5 years of inactivity on the account). 6. Elk Rapids District Library - We have a 3x5 registration card people fill out. We keep them until three years after their card expires and then they are deleted from the system and the card is shredded. We have to see a Drivers License or State ID to issue a card so I can't figure out how that would work online. 7. Farmington Community Library - We do both at this library. We have a Polaris ILS and are able to have online registration in our PAC which is transferred into our production server. Those patrons have two weeks to bring in current picture identification. If they have not down so by that time, their record is deleted. Patrons that walk into the library fill out a paper application which is entered right then. If they have current ID, they are issue a card immediately. If not, they get a temporary card that expires in one month.

But shouldn't this learning culture also extend to library boards? At the State Library of Iowa, we say yes! Trustees can and should play a key role in fostering a culture of learning at their libraries-beginning with themselves. When library boards embrace a learning culture, they become more receptive to supporting continuing education, in policy, planning, and budgeting. This webinar presents ideas for growing board learning into a blossoming culture that motivates board members to see education and training as a natural part of their trusteeship. This webinar is hosted in collaboration with the Association for Rural and Small Libraries.

Camilleri, a former high school social studies teacher. ?Even our state?s prisons are required to have a library with a certified librarian.[1] <#m_-7322103574138432815_m_2215500087779574091__ftn1> If we can ensure our state?s prisoners have a library available, surely we can work to provide our state?s young minds with access to this vital resource.? Over the past decade, support for school libraries has fallen throughout the state, with many public schools opting to use library space for other purposes. Michigan is ranked 47th in the nation for its ratio of students to certified librarians or media specialists. As of 2012, only 8 percent of public schools in the state have at least one full-time certified media specialist. At the same time, however, the need for services provided by school libraries with certified media specialists is growing. In 2017, 56 percent of third-graders failed the reading test included on the state?s assessment. ?Michigan is no doubt experiencing a literacy crisis, and it is clear we need to be more creative in our efforts to reverse this trajectory before it is too late,? said Rep. Zemke, Democratic vice chair of the House Education Reform Committee. ?We are at a critical moment in our state when we must choose whether to take significant steps to improve our schools, or face the consequences of continued educational decline. It is crucial we do all we can to help put our state?s students on a path to success.? Specifically, the three-bill package would do the following: ? House Bill 5909: Require every public school in Michigan to offer a library beginning in the 2018-19 school year that meets certain criteria. (Rep. Zemke) ? HB 5910: Require a school district board to employ at least one certified media specialist for each school library operated by that district beginning in the 2018-19 school year. (Rep. Camilleri) ? HB 5911: Require a principle or other appropriate administrator to designate an individual to supervise students in a school library when a certified media specialist is not present. (Rep. Greig) ?In honor of Reading Month, my colleagues and I spent all of March traveling throughout our districts sharing our love of reading with students,? Rep. Greig said. ?Rather than focusing on reading one month of the year, we must recommit ourselves to providing Michigan?s students with the best literacy resources and instruction possible all year long. We hope our colleagues will understand the necessity of this legislation and the crisis Michigan?s students are facing, and support this important set of bills.? ?Certified school library media specialists provide vital services to their students and school communities. They are integral to reading, technology integration, and information literacy and have a high impact on student achievement,? said Kathy Lester with the Michigan Association for Media in Education. ?I commend Representatives Camilleri, Greig and Zemke for recognizing that our students deserve equitable access to this essential resource.? ### [1] http://www.michigan.gov/documents/corrections/05_03_110_337354_7.pdf ------------------------------ ------------------------------ [1] <#m_-7322103574138432815_m_2215500087779574091__ftnref1> http://www.michigan.gov/documents/corrections/05_03_110_337354_7.pdf _______________________________________________ Mamelist mailing list -- *International Academy* www.iatoday.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Are there any provision in the bills to help schools pay for their new certified librarians or media specialists? Also, will the State provide the funds needed to rebuild the collections of school libraries that have been closed, in some cases for years? Passing these bills would be wonderful, but if there is no financing to support the mandates, many schools will find it nearly impossible to pay for these important services. I hope all of this will be taken into consieeration as these forward thinking Representatives move forward to try to remedy a situation that has needed attention for too long.

I have been speaking with the representatives and I think their plan is: 1) introduce these bills to *raise awareness* of the issue of lack of equitable access to appropriately staffed school libraries (we will need everyone's support in raising awareness!) 2) begin work on funding/grant packages to be able to fund these initiatives (support for funding will be easier to come by with an understanding of the issue) I would also like to point out that school districts will be generally getting more money this year and, also, due to the new Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA); school districts can now use federal Title I and Title IV dollars toward developing effective school library programs (this was NOT true in the past). School districts can also use Title IIA money to pay for teachers' coursework to add the Library Media (ND) endorsement to their teaching certificates. Here is the MDE memo which was sent to all state superintendents: https://www.michigan.gov/documents/mde/School_Library_Month_619701_7.pdf In the third paragraph of this memo, it states: *"Under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), schools may utilize Title I and Title IVA funds for ?developing effective school library programs to provide students an opportunity to develop digital literacy skills and improve academic achievement,? as well as Title IIA Page 2 April 5, 2018 funds to support professional learning for school librarians and teachers seeking to add a Library Media (ND) endorsement on their teaching certificates."* Finally, this is my personal opinion (it may not be the opinion of my association) --- that it is not truly a funding issue in *all* districts; but, a matter of priority. In one school district, they added several "Dean of Students" positions and gave administrators raises in the same year that they cut media specialists and said there was no money. In another district, they 'fired' all of their media specialists, rewrote job descriptions, and hired "technology integrationists" in their place. Some school districts that receive the minimum per-pupil funding per student have certified school librarians in *every* school while other school districts that receive as much as $3000.00 (or even higher amount) per pupil more than the minimum per-pupil funding say that they cannot afford it. It is definitely a complex issue. I do believe that our Michigan schools are underfunded and there are several studies which confirm this. The latest (January 2018) study can be found here: http://www.fundmischools.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/School-Finance-Research-Collaborative-Report.pdf Sorry for the lengthy response. The short of it is, the legislators sponsoring these bills *do* understand the need for funding and will work on this. The introduction of the bills will raise awareness of the need for school libraries staffed by certified school librarians. We will need everyone's support on this. Look for a call to action from MAME early this week. Please let me know if you have any questions.
