email with no phone
by Stacy Pasche 07 Nov '14

07 Nov '14

I was helping a patron obtain an email account today and was a little surprised to see that most of the major free web-based email services now require either a second email account or mobile phone number to activate the account. The woman needing email (for unemployment filing) has no previous email account and has no mobile phone. She can't be alone in this situation. Does anyone know of any web-based email services that still don't require mobile phone or previous email? Thanks! -- Stacy Pasche, Assistant Library Director

Do you know this book?
by Rachael Birgy 07 Nov '14

07 Nov '14

Hi, I have a patron in search of a fiction book about a french woman (maybe named Solel) who is part of a sleep study that her ex-boyfriend is over seeing. In her dreams she looks for a young girl (maybe named Arnette) who has a brain injury and is in trouble. The book is from the late 80's or early 90's. Does anyone know the title of this book? Thank you for your help! -- Rachael Birgy, Youth Services Director Kalkaska County Library 247 S. Cedar St., Kalkaska, MI 231-258-9411

Dear Colleagues, Please consider submitting a program proposal for this conference. The deadline for submissions is November 10, 2014. We're interested in thoughtful proposals on topics in every area of librarianship, addressing the range of issues of critical concern to academic libraries.

Broad participation is encouraged from librarians, staff and administrators from all types of academic libraries (including but not limited to public universities, private colleges and community colleges). Proposals should include a description of no more than 300 words and an abstract of no more than 75 words, along with at least one learning outcome. Proposals will be evaluated on relevance to academic library profession, originality and creativity, and clarity/applicability of content and outcomes. The submission deadline for presentations is November 10, 2014. * Program proposals may be submitted here<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=6wn6rfsab.0.sdukdtrab.ppazmveab.2360&r=3&p=http…>.

Re: [Michlib-l] E-Rate Question from Marian: Compiled Responses

Thanks everyone! I've attached a compilation of responses. From: michlib-l-bounces(a)mail2.mcls.org [mailto:michlib-l-bounces@mail2.mcls.org] On Behalf Of Knox,Sheryl Cormicle Sent: Tuesday, November 04, 2014 9:47 AM To: michlib-l(a)mcls.org Subject: [Michlib-l] E-Rate Question from Marian Posting for Marian the Librarian from Lake Neverwuz Library: I overheard a colleague, Mindy Sue. She had a great suggestion for getting started with E-Rate. She said consider hiring a consultant for the first year if you're new to it. You'll learn all the paperwork and figures you'll need for subsequent years and you can watch the consultant navigate the forms and process. Then, you might not need a consultant after year one. Does anyone on here use an E-rate consultant they would recommend? Do I have to have a lot of money up front to try this route? Thanks, Marian
