MeL Databases Award Announcement
by White, Shannon (MDE) 22 Jun '15

22 Jun '15

The Library of Michigan is pleased to announce, pending approval from the State of Michigan's Administrative Board, and the signing of final contracts, the 2015-2018 subscription content for the Michigan eLibrary to take effect beginning October 1, 2015. For this cycle the Library of Michigan worked with a budget of approximately 1.5 million dollars to provide content that fit the core areas and mission for the Michigan eLibrary. Our intention of providing this announcement is to assist libraries working on budgets with a July 1 fiscal year start date. A final announcement and formal press release will follow in the summer when all contracts are signed and the Administrative Board has provided final approval for the purchases. Below you can find information on the final product lineup for MeL contracts that are funded with LSTA dollars. This process was restricted to the bulk of the core MeL topical areas and did not encompass the types of resources that are on a separate funding cycle using State funds. That process will begin with contracts in the following fiscal year, 2017. >From Gale/Cengage: We have contracted for similar content in this new cycle covering resources for all library types and enhanced training support.

arrangement between MI libraries & municipalities
by CED Donna Clark 19 Jun '15

19 Jun '15

Dear Michigan Library Friends: I sent the following message out mid-April. I received 18 responses. In sharing the information with our City Manager, he asked that I try to get more responses from those of you who are City Libraries. We are established under PA 164 of 1877. Feel free to answer if you are not a city library. Donna Clark, Director Cedar Springs Public Library Class III, population 9,467 ********************* Our community is moving ahead on our new library building plans. We are a city library. We would like to survey several MI libraries to find out the following: 1. Type of Library you represent especially interested in PA 164 of 1877 2. Population served 3. Who owns your library building and property 3. What arrangement do you have with your municipality regarding your building, its operations and maintenance? Is there anything you would change about your present agreement if you could? 4. How are you funded? 5. Who would you suggest we approach for donations for construction? Partial replies are acceptable - we don't live in a perfect world and you are all busy! Thank you for considering our request. Donna Clark, Library Director Class III, population 9,467 ------- End of Forwarded Message -------
