Fax24 questions/alternatives
by Steven Smith 20 Nov '14

20 Nov '14

The Dearborn Public Library uses Fax24 as a stand-alone fax machine for our public. It is convenient as it takes very little staff time and allows the public to pay for faxes by credit card for a reasonable price without needing staff interaction. Unfortunately, we've been getting a lot of complaints from staff that the machine is extremely unreliable and that there are frequent problems. We've also heard that Fax24's customer service is very poor. We were wondering if anyone else has found an alternative stand-alone fax solution to Fax24. From my investigations it looks like Fax24 is the only game in town for this kind of service. If you aren't using a stand-alone fax solution, can you let me know how your library deals with offering faxing services for you public? Thank you, Steven F. Smith Administrative Librarian Dearborn Public Library 16301 Michigan Ave. Dearborn, MI 48124 (313) 943-2812

INALJ meeting, November 25, 6-8 p.m., in Plymouth
by Jennifer Dye 20 Nov '14

20 Nov '14

INALJ (I Need a Library Job) is a networking organization for librarians and information-minded folks. You do not need to be looking for a job to benefit from the group or one of the in-person meetups. INALJ is holding a November meetup in the Detroit/Ann Arbor area for drinks, nibbles and great conversation. All are welcome to attend. RSVP to karly(a)ix.netcom.com. See the below FAQ for more info. Who should attend? Library and information science students, librarians, information professionals, research analysts, prospect researchers, usability auditors, library directors, professors, deans – basically anyone looking for a library job or who can give advice to someone looking for a library job. What is this event? This is a networking event similar to a no host dinner or open house at a professional conference. You will meet other librarians and information professionals in the area for informal conversations (bring business cards!). There is no charge to attend; you just pay for your own food and drink. Students are more than welcome to join us. Where is it being held? Sean O’Callaghan’s in Plymouth: http://seanocallaghanspub.com When are we meeting? Tuesday, November 25, 6-8 pm How do I RSVP? E-mail Karly Szczepkowski at karly(a)ix.netcom.com if you plan to attend. Why do I have to RSVP? We want to make sure there are enough seats for everyone and be able to contact you if there are any last minute changes so you’re not left standing outside of a closed pub (don’t worry – the pub has never been closed before!). We promise not to use your e-mail address for any other purposes and all e-mail addresses will be deleted after the event. Co-hosted by: Karly Szczepkowski, Eva Gogola, Barry Puckett and Joel Scheuher Jennifer Dye Librarian Parkman Branch Detroit Public Library 1766 Oakman Blvd. Detroit, MI 48238 jdye(a)detroitpubliclibrary.org 313-481-1811 (reference desk) 313-481-1819 (workroom)
