Re: [Michlib-l] taxpayer and voter email - phishing

If the email was just textual (and all descriptions I have read have not mentioned that there was any attachment), and you replied, you don’t have any extra cause to worry that you are now infected with something because of receiving that email. (Of course, you should already be running up to date security software and taking all manner of precautions to practice safe computing. If you aren’t doing that, then take this as motivation to start doing so.) What you need to do is be aware and alert for further contact that may try to take this a step further and ask you to open something, download something, provide further information, etc. This is called social engineering. It has come a long way from the “Nigerian scam” days. _____________________________________ Sheryl Cormicle Knox, Technology Director Capital Area District Libraries – Administration 401 S.

FW: Summer Resources for students
by Biggs, Deb Renee (MDE) 24 May '17

24 May '17

From: Christine Schneider [mailto:cschneider.mel@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, May 24, 2017 10:53 AM To: jhopper73(a)gmail.com Cc: Biggs, Deb Renee (MDE) <BiggsD(a)michigan.gov> Subject: Summer Resources for students Hello! The Michigan eLibrary has pulled together a letter that contains great information for Educators, Parents, and Students about summer resources available to them at no cost! We are asking everyone to distribute a letter from the Michigan eLibrary team to all Michigan families because the resources can help prevent the "summer slide" and also help with test prep. Below is the email I sent out late last week. It contains links to a letter that schools can email out to all of their families, or print a hard copy and send home. If possible, can you please distribute to the GELN list? Thank you! Christine Schneider & Deb Renee Biggs Now that the school year is winding down and everyone is looking forward to a great summer vacation, the MeL team would like to remind everyone of the great resources Michigan residents have free access to through the Michigan eLibrary. Families can find resources to help ease the summer slide, read eBooks, conduct research, create reading lists, and prepare for college, careers, and high stakes tests like the SATⓇ. To help promote the resources, some of our content providers have created short videos that highlight their database(s) and how students can use them over the summer. We have created a playlist on the MeL YouTube Channel (https://goo.gl/fDC4Be) and a 2017 Summer Resources Letter that can be either emailed (or printed and sent home) to Michigan K-12 families. Please help distribute this letter to as many schools and families as possible. You may also want to subscribe to the MeL YouTube Channel<https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCO1dqA8_ZOCfZcHP9OaBGew>, so you keep up to date on the latest with the Michigan eLibrary! The letter is available in the following formats: · Google Doc: https://goo.gl/63jnW5 · Word Doc: https://goo.gl/gMMb3m · PDF: https://goo.gl/B5CuVs Thank you in advance for sharing out this information and for helping to “Build a Better World”! -- Christine Schneider K-12 Education Specialist Michigan eLibrary [http://www.michigan.gov/images/MEL_LOGO_25435_7.jpg] Michigan eLibrary, a program of the Library of Michigan http://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan 702 W Kalamazoo St, Lansing, MI 48915 (m) 248-305-0231 [https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0B-Ra2pklkx7EcUo2TUR6dVNrOXc&…] May is Michigan School Library Month!

Hey, Hey, Hey, It's May 24: MAP's 10 Year Anniversary Is Today!
by Jim Flury 24 May '17

24 May '17

Good Morning, The Michigan Activity Pass went live in 2007. Today, May 24, marks the 10 year anniversary of the MAP program. To quote TLN Executive Director Jim Pletz: "The Library Network is pleased to continue support for the highly popular Michigan Activity Pass. From humble beginnings in southeast Michigan, featuring a partnership with 30 museums and cultural institutions, the program, with its destination partner, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, now features over 435 sites statewide. With all 11 Michigan library cooperatives participating as contact points with more than 367 public libraries across the state, library patrons are empowered to visit these sites. Last year, the Michigan Activity Pass program returned over $50,000 in value to over 10,000 patrons who used their library card to secure admission to a featured site." Thank you for your support and promotion of the Michigan Activity Pass program.

Board gaming collections
by Jack Visnaw III 23 May '17

23 May '17

Hello, My library is considering whether to develop a circulating board game collection, and I was hoping folks who currently have this type of collection would be willing to share their experiences. The questions below represent the core issues our investigation committee identified as areas needing further research, but we welcome any info you would like to share. - What is the size (i.e., number of items) in your collection and how long have you been circulating games? - How do you shelve/display board games that are available for checkout? - How do you handle returned games with multiple parts? (E.g., do you count every counter, card, playing piece, etc. each time it is returned?) - How do you handle dealing with missing parts when an item is returned? How do you handle replacing missing components? - What issues did you encounter that you weren't expecting when you first launched the collection and how did you deal with these issues? - Do you have any other advice for libraries who are contemplating a circulating board game collection? Thank you for any insights you can provide! Jack Visnaw Librarian Manager - Youth Canton Public Library 1200 S. Canton Center Rd. Canton, MI 48188 (734) 397-0999 x.1322 visnawj(a)cantonpl.org
