The web is moving from delivering results to delivering answers. What if your library could change Google, Siri, and other web agents from being competitors to partners? Linked data has already changed the way we search and get answers. Libraries can be part of that evolution by providing trusted, curated content to feed the growing web of data. NoveList’s Duncan Smith will explain why linked data is critical for library development and Georgia State Librarian Julie Walker will discuss why Georgia is making a significant investment in linked data for all of Georgia’s public libraries.

Peanut Allergy Policies
by Allison Ferguson 12 Oct '16

12 Oct '16

Greetings Library Community, I have a patron who will be attending our board meeting because they want to make us enforce a nut-free policy in our library. As a small public library with a very limited staff (and budget), I see a hard time enforcing/implementing this rule. As this is our first and only request for this policy, I am unsure of how to respond. Have any of you dealt with this issue before, and if so, do you have any policies you would be willing to share? Thank you for your help, Allie Ferguson Director, Lyons Twp. District Library

Author Recommendation
by Julie Farkas 12 Oct '16

12 Oct '16

Michigan Library Friends- I want to recommend a wonderful author to you and a very useful book for your collection... Kristin recently spoke at the Novi Rotary, which I am Programming Chair. She told an amazing personal story and also dove into the many facets of her research for the book, her writing and publishing. If you would like Kristin to speak at your library, you can contact her at 248-342-1339. In addition, her email is: kristin(a)kristinmeekhof.com<mailto:kristin@kristinmeekhof.com> Her website: www.KristinMeekhof.com<http://www.kristinmeekhof.com/> Local Birmingham author, Kristin Meekhof to Discuss A Widow's Guide to Healing: Gentle Support and Advice for the First 5 Years "Obviously, my life has been filled with some big losses," Meekhof said. "But I'm very grateful in many ways... the marriage I had was very strong. My husband accepted his diagnosis - rather than say, "Why me?" he said, "Why not me?" and I'm grateful we had a chance to say goodbye. I've interviewed so many widows who never had that chance." [Kristin Meekhof] [A Widows Guide to Healing] Kristin Meekhof, MSW, is a regular contributor to The Huffington Post, MariaShriver.com, WomanThatSoar, and others. Widowed at a young age, she can speak from experience on the unique and unforeseen challenges of widowhood. She has recently completed work in Kenya. A Widow's Guide to Healing offers a much-needed blueprint for grieving widows to face the often, overwhelming challenges of their new reality. Written for those grappling with their first five years of widowhood, this book gently and clearly guides readers through the pain and problems to a happier, healthier, and more hopeful future. "A very valuable and practical guide...both inspiring and courageous." - Deepak Chopra, MD, FAACP "[An] inspiring and insightful book to help guide widows through their grief. This book is by an Architect of Change, for all of us who must deal with grief." - Maria Shriver Here is the Free Press article. http://www.freep.com/story/entertainment/people/2015/11/28/orphan-turns-aut… Here is the Oakland Press article which was printed in the Thanksgiving day paper. http://www.theoaklandpress.com/general-news/20151124/local-authors-book-gui… [Description: Description: Description: Description: Description: Description: Description: Description: Description: Description: Description: New Logo 1 inch rgb for web]Julie Farkas | Library Director Novi Public Library | 45255 West 10 Mile Road | Novi, MI 48375 T: 248-869-7233 C: 248-331-7815 F: 248-869-7232 www.novilibrary.org<http://www.novilibrary.org/> INFORM.
