Book Donation Request - 20 books on Becoming a Consultant and Organizational Development for a Michigan Library
by Corey Seeman 11 May '15

11 May '15

Hello everyone - I hope this finds you well in your corner of the state - and that the roads are smooth as silk. OK - well, just the first part. I have been working with a Ross alumni member in the Royal Oak, Birmingham, Southfield area who has some books to donate. There are 20 books focused on the career path to becoming a consultant and organizational development. As many know, the Kresge Library no longer has a print collection (save for a few hundred titles) as a result of space downsizing related to the construction project at the Ross School of Business. So we cannot take these ourselves. The alumni member would ideally prefer that these items are donated for the collection, and not the book sale. I do not have a list, but I can connect any librarian to the alumni if anyone is interested. If you are interested, please write me and I will forward your name to the donor. Thanks in advance for your consideration. Best - Corey Corey Seeman Director, Kresge Library Services (http://www.bus.umich.edu/kresgelibrary/) Stephen M.

unionized staff at public libraries in Michigan
by Sheryl Mase 08 May '15

08 May '15

Hello All, I am making a report in Counting Opinions of libraries that have unionized staff. The reports are made by selecting libraries, so I selected those that wrote back to me letting me know they have unionized staff and then made a report with other data from the annual report, but the list of libraries is the key data - those in the chart responded to me that they have unionized staff of one type or another. I am not getting more specific than that at this point, but wanted to share what I have so far with you all. I did hear from a number of libraries that are NOT unionized, but chose to list the ones that respond that they DO have unionized staff. Here is the link: http://www.countingopinions.com/pireports/report.php?4ea59397dcd07f45fc4ba9… If you have unionized staff and do not see your library listed, please let me know and I will add it. ~Sheryl ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sheryl L.
