You'll learn how to construct the data collection form to record statistical data for all services provided by your reference department; the example will be Zahnow Library, Saginaw Valley State University. Technology and Trends 2014 is set for 9 a.m to 4 p.m. and will include eight technology-you-can-use sessions as well as keynote remarks by Kristin Fonticharo of the University of Michigan.

Dear Michigan Colleagues, As the IFRT councilor, I just received this message that the percentage of ALA members voting this year is significantly behind that of last year. I would encourage everyone who can vote to do so, no matter which nominees they support. I know that we have Michigan candidates running for office. Bob Robert P. Holley Professor, School of Library & Information Science Wayne State University Detroit, MI 48202 aa3805(a)wayne.edu 248-547-0306 (phone) 313-577-7563 (fax) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Daniel D Cornwall (EED)" <daniel.cornwall(a)alaska.gov> To: "ALA Council" <alacoun(a)ala.org> Sent: Friday, April 18, 2014 3:22:49 PM Subject: [alacoun] RE: ALA Election- How are we doing? Voting turnout this year is lagging significantly behind last year thus far. As of Tuesday, April 15, approximately 14.27 percent, of the eligible voters had submitted their ballots. This compares with 16.98 percent at the same time in 2013. Total voter turnout in 2013 was 21.4 percent, so let’s try to meet or beat that number! ========================= Daniel Cornwall Alaska Chapter Councilor LinkedIn Profile: www.linkedin.com/in/danielcornwall Professional blog: librarianfromalaska.wordpress.com/ Twitter: twitter.com/danielcornwall FreeGovInfo contributions: http://freegovinfo.info/node/author/alaskanlibrarian
