The Value of Reading Infographic
by Jim Flury 07 Oct '16

07 Oct '16

I found this infographic while trolling the Internet one day last week. It was created by publisher Chronicle Books. And although there is no specific mention of public libraries, it wouldn't take much in the way of tweaking to steer the conversation in that direction: http://www.adweek.com/galleycat/the-value-of-reading-infographic/125255 Jim Jim Flury Technical Services Manager The Library Network 41365 Vincenti Court Novi, MI 48375 248-536-3100 x133 Fax 248-536-3098 jflury(a)tln.lib.mi.us

Digital Totes
by Devin Erlandson 07 Oct '16

07 Oct '16

Good morning! I am wondering if those of you who have experience with Digital Totes for your digital collections could drop me a line about your experience with them. Ease of use from the library's end and how patrons feel about using it would be especially helpful. We're continuing down the long road of getting our newspapers digitized and I'm currently looking at Digital Totes, but I was hoping for some feedback first. Thanks so much. -- Devin Erlandson, MLIS Information Coordinator Allegan District Library 269-673-4625 alleganlibrary.org
