Increase your purchasing power with TRIG!!
by Kevin King 20 Jun '16

20 Jun '16

Did you know that public libraries in Michigan can benefit from TRIG (Technology Readiness Infrastructure Grant)<http://22itrig.org/>? By using the Device Purchasing Program (http://22itrig.org/activities/device-purchasing/) libraries can purchase computers, laptops, tablets and other digital equipment at much lower prices? Last year the Kalamazoo Public Library saved thousands of dollars and even switched our catalog computers to Chromebases for a fraction of the cost!! (http://22itrig.org/downloads/device_purchasing/device-purchasing_april_2016…) Visit the TRIG Website today (http://22itrig.org) If you have questions are need help getting started, please email me! You can even sign up for the TRIG newsletter to keep up to date on upcoming important dates!

The 1:1 environment has transformed the way that our teachers are teaching and our students are learning.

IT Trends from Across the US In a survey of K-12 IT Leaders from across the country, it was found that the priorities of IT Leaders have recently shifted. As reported in the CoSYN 2016 K-12 IT Leadership Survey<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001IbLjnf-EUEFUDoXU0cT4sjMwb76y7cQASyoSOqNRifZl…>: "For the past four years, we have asked IT Leaders to indicate their top three priorities (from a list of 20 options). For the first time, "Assessment Readiness" does not appear as one of the top three. That drop-off in the rankings is likely an indicator that districts are now more prepared for online assessments than they have been in the past. This year almost half of all districts (48%) rated themselves as "fully prepared" compared to less than a third (28%) in the prior year. Seventy-five percent (75%) of all districts are either "fully prepared" or "almost ready," indicating a large majority is in good shape for implementing their high-stakes online assessments." [http://files.ctctcdn.com/230eb80e301/54bb0dc7-4905-458c-aa68-1dc2cda49d6a.p…] "Taking over as the number one priority for districts is "Broadband & Network Capacity." This makes sense in light of the other two priorities in the top three-Wireless Access and Mobile Learning. The three priorities are intrinsically linked. The infrastructure that pursuit of these three priorities enables would provide for online assessment, which could explain the de-emphasis on "Assessment Readiness."

Community storytelling/"Moth" style programs?
by Emma Olmstead-Rumsey 20 Jun '16

20 Jun '16

Hi everyone, I am looking at doing a community storytelling program at my library modeled on the format of The Moth Radio Hour--attendees can put their name in the hat for a chance to stand up and tell a short, true story related to the night's theme. If you have done a similar program, I would love to hear about your experiences and any advice you have about dos and don'ts, planning tips, etc. If I get multiple replies, I will compile them and send them to the list. Thanks for any thoughts you have, Emma Olmstead-Rumsey Adult Services Librarian at the Cromaine Library in Hartland, MI

Summer Reading: how to count unpublished stories
by Laura Orlowski 18 Jun '16

18 Jun '16

Hi all; In an attempt to keep our patrons (especially teens) into reading this summer, we are allowing all formats of reading (books, magazines, ebooks, audiobooks, etc.). Because we are allowing so many different formats to be used, we chose to go with page counts for all ages (seems to be the fairest way to track). For online ebooks and audiobooks, we typically use the standard hardcover page count for those titles. One of my teen patrons asked if they could count a book they are reading online that is from a site for writers to "self publish". Since these titles do not have a page count available, any suggestions as to how we can count these stories? I don't want to tell our readers that they can't use these titles - the whole point of summer reading is to get kids/teens/adults reading for the fun of it. Any thoughts/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, -Laura Orlowski, director Camden Twp. Library camden(a)monroe.lib.mi.us

For software think TechSoup, for hardware think TRIG
by Norris, Sonya (MDE) 17 Jun '16

17 Jun '16

Join us on Tuesday, June 21 at 10:00 a.m. at http://libraryofmichigan.adobeconnect.com/trigdevicepurchasing/ for a webinar with Wendy Hand of Kalamazoo Public Library to talk about a discount hardware purchasing solution for Michigan libraries. Last year, Michigan libraries were invited to participate in an important initiative. The Technology Readiness Infrastructure Grant (TRIG) program is involved in developing, issuing and administering statewide bids for mobile devices and desktop computers. It provides for lower purchase prices on many products, as well as accessories and even some services such as installation. The nice thing about this program is that it allows you to purchase off the bid and know you're getting a good price without actually issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) yourself. This year's program includes brands and products such as HP, Dell, Lenovo, Chromebooks, Android tablets, iPads and MacBooks. Accessories include onsite warranty, mice and keyboards, adapters, RAM upgrades and DVD RW drives. Last year nearly 170,000 devices were purchased off the bid. Unfortunately, libraries made up a very small percentage of this number but the savings for those libraries was substantial - $60,000. In our January issue of the LM Dispatch<http://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/MILOM/bulletins/12e4185#link_139031…>, Wendy Hand of Kalamazoo Public Library (KPL) wrote an article about how KPL bought Chromebases last year to use as an OPAC solution. On Tuesday she will be conducting a webinar through the LM to talk more about the device purchasing program and walk you through the steps of the ordering process. I would like to encourage you to learn more about this program. If you're thinking about buying hardware this year, the purchasing window is open now through October 15th. To learn more about this program, check out the TRIG website<http://22itrig.org/activities/device-purchasing/spot-faqs/> or join us for the webinar. I hope to see you there!
