Call for proposals: ARSL conference
by Colleen Leddy 22 Feb '16

22 Feb '16

Hi Michigan libraries! See below for how to get free conference registration! (Passing this on for the Association for Rural and Small Libraries). Thanks, Colleen Does your library go “beyond normal”? If so, the The Association for Rural & Small Libraries (ARSL) is accepting proposals for break-out session presentations for the 2016 Conference to be held in Fargo, North Dakota on October 27-29, 2016. The theme for ARSL 2016 is “North of Normal” and we’d like to hear about creative ideas that take your library beyond normal. Proposals for these 1-hour sessions can be submitted using our online form <http://goo.gl/forms/WZ8bXNtVV6>. The deadline to submit is March 21, 2016 in order for the Conference Programming Committee to review and make selections. Those who submit a proposal will be notified whether or not their proposal was accepted by April 15, 2016. We remind presenters that workshops must be geared toward the small and rural library audience, and those that are practical, hands-on, and how-to are preferred. This is not the proper venue for post-graduate dissertations or marketing products. Additional instructions are included on the form. *Workshop presenters will receive ONE complimentary conference registration per workshop title selected, i.e. a team of three presenters working on one workshop will receive one complimentary registration.* We also suggest you watch our website www.arsl.info or our Facebook <https://www.facebook.com/ARSLpage/> and Twitter <https://twitter.com/RuralLibAssoc> streams for the latest conference news! The committee is looking forward to receiving your submissions. Good Luck! Becky Heil Conference Programming Committee Chair Colleen Leddy, Director Stair District Library 228 W. Main St. Morenci, MI 49256 517/458-6510 Monday & Wednesday: 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Thursday, Friday: 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday: 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

These annual grants to the 50 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Territories represent the largest source of federal funding support for library services in the United States. The agency's Grants to States program<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001IqqCCrrlCdLGN34XKXFeSaVCS5n_V75Zw7rw_nHIl-mE…> allocates a base amount to each of the SLAAs plus a supplemental amount based on population. These federal funds supplement rather than replace state funding for existing state library services, and the program assures local involvement through financial matching requirements. The newly released allotment table identifies both the federal (66%) and state match share (34%) for each SLAA. States and their subrecipients have used Grants to States funds for a range of projects that respond to the purposes and priorities outlined in the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA)<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001IqqCCrrlCdLGN34XKXFeSaVCS5n_V75Zw7rw_nHIl-mE…>. These have included summer reading programs, access to electronic databases and e-books, and programming targeted to underserved populations.

Re: [Michlib-l] scan to email
by James Lenze 19 Feb '16

19 Feb '16

A couple libraries indicated that they were interested in my findings. SUMMARY: No Library indicated that they attach a disclaimer in the body of the email generated by their scan to email service. I have not yet had the following reviewed by a lawyer, but as a temporary measure I am using this language: [ QUOTE ] DO NOT REPLY. The attachment was emailed from a scanner at the Garden City (MI) Public Library. This is a self-serve machine. The Library and its staff neither monitors nor controls the public use of the scanner. Therefore, neither the Library nor its staff take any responsibility for the quality or content of the text or image(s) transmitted. [ /QUOTE ] A similar statement will be worked into the policy my Board will be considering at an up-coming meeting. James B Lenze, Director jamesl(a)gardencitymi.org Garden City Public Library 31735 Maplewood St Garden City, MI 48135 From: James Lenze Sent: Tuesday, February 16, 2016 2:26 PM To: 'michlib-l(a)mail2.mcls.org' <michlib-l(a)mail2.mcls.org> Subject: scan to email If your Library offers "scan to email" service, do you have any disclaimer sent in the body of the email? If so, would you be willing to share the language with me? Thank you in advance.

music performance licensing
by Perri Saunders 19 Feb '16

19 Feb '16

If you use live music at a library program (like a cover band), have you ever obtained a music performance license? I have never heard such a thing but received a letter from ASCAP, American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers, about the need to get licensing for these performances. We have a live music concert series in the summer, so this could pertain to us, but it kind of sounds like a crock. Thoughts? Experiences? -- Perri Saunders, Director White Pigeon Township Library 102 N. Kalamazoo St., P.O. Box 399 White Pigeon, MI 49099 269-483-7409 *p.saunders(a)woodlands.lib.mi.us <p.saunders(a)woodlands.lib.mi.us> * *Brighten the corner where you are.*
