Public library overdrive app on school issued tablets and computers
by Stacy Pasche 09 Sep '15

09 Sep '15

This is the first year that every student in our school district will have an iPad or Chromebook. We are eager to get the students using the public library's Overdrive collection. I am wondering about collection development policies and access. If a student has the Overdrive app on their school issued device, they have access to the entire public library's digital collection. The public library's collection is intended for a variety of ages and interests and not all titles in that collection are age appropriate for younger readers. Is there any public library out there with a working relationship with a local school district regarding digital content? If so, please let me know how you managed to provide access to a collection that may or may not fit the criteria of the school's collections policies. Many thanks! -- Stacy Pasche, Assistant Library Director

Keynote: Emerging Technologies – Trends from CES and Beyond The CES show is one of the largest technology shows in the industry; it’s where companies from around the world release new products, unveil innovative ideas, and do hands-on demonstrations. Every year, Brian Pichman of the Evolve Project attends to speak to the exhibitors about libraries and their unlimited potential. This session shares his insights from the event in a jammed-pack session of tech gadgets and emerging technologies. Additionally, discover other potential technologies that are ready for your library to implement in its maker spaces and fab labs. Hear about other technologies libraries are recently starting to look into. Leave with lots of ideas, insights, and laughs. Speaker: Brian Pichman, Director of Strategic Innovation, Evolve Project Brian speaks a lot about innovative technology as a presenter and loves collaborating with both libraries and companies. He is dedicated to bring libraries into the future using cost effective measures and strategies. Much of Evolve’s work includes bridging the digital divide, breaking away from "traditional library views", becoming trend setters and finding or building innovative works geared towards interaction and collaboration. He has also been working with start-up companies across the country, promoting libraries and encouraging people to work closer with libraries in developing new ideas and concepts. Breakout Sessions Cybersecurity for Public Libraries: Striking a Balance Mary Shindell, Sales Manager, Merit Network, Ann Arbor, Michigan This presentation is intended to raise awareness of the cybersecurity threat to libraries and their patrons and to provide practical methods to reduce risk.

Three video game extraordinaires will discuss what video games they’ve used in programs, which gaming platforms they use and why, what patrons attend these programs (and not just kids?!?!). How much does this cost? How long is a given game title relevant for? Which games worked best? and why? What kind of attendance? Do the “gamers” come back for more Library events? Does playing video games help make tweens and teens into life long library patrons? You’ve got questions, we’ve got answers... and Video Games! No Assumptions: 10 Years of Open-Access 3D Printing i n th e Library Eric Maslowski, Director, UM3D Lab, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan 3D Printing is at the height of the Gartner Hype Cycle with many rushing to acquiring 3D Printers in the hope of empowering their user-base.

This session will provide attendees with candid and concrete examples of successes and failures around 3D Printing services while sharing a low-cost, sustainable, deployable, open-access service model suitable for Libraries and academic units.
