ALA News for May 29, 2018 NEWS FROM THE AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION Retired ALA Finance Director continues to go the extra mile for Spectrum Gregory Calloway, retired associate executive director of finance of the American Library Association (ALA) will once again be raising funds in support of the ALA’s Spectrum Scholarship Program by participating in the Ricky Byrdsong Memorial Race Against Hate in Evanston, Illinois on June 17. Calloway said, "Our society really needs to develop a better understanding of our individual differences and similarities. Understanding to me is a quest for accurate information and using information to gain knowledge. Supporting the Spectrum Library Scholarship enables a graduate student financial resources to pursue a career as an accredited information specialist thereby guiding knowledge seekers to reputable and factual data." The Race Against Hate was founded in memory of Ricky Byrdsong, former Northwestern University basketball coach, vice president of community affairs at Aon Corporation and Skokie, Illinois, resident who was murdered by a white supremacist in 1999. http://www.ala.org/news/member-news/2018/05/retired-ala-finance-director-co… LITA @ ALA Annual 2018 – President’s Program focuses on 'The Silences of (Big) Data Join LITA President Andromeda Yelton and welcome Kendra Albert, a technology lawyer and an affiliate research associate at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University, during the 2018 ALA Annual Conference in New Orleans. As data becomes the substrate for human and algorithmic decision-making and funding, it speaks louder and louder. But what can we infer when there is no or limited data, that is, when the data is effectively silent? Like all records, the data that libraries collect about their patrons and services contain presence and absence, resistance and compliance, exclusion and overrepresentation. In this provocative talk, lawyer and critical legal scholar Kendra Albert will reflect upon how the rise of data collection in libraries can be informed by the silences of data. http://www.ala.org/news/member-news/2018/05/lita-ala-annual-2018-president-… Learn to conquer the digital world at PR Forum 2018 In today’s world, it’s not a matter of whether or not you engage in social media and digital marketing but how well you do it.

LED vs. barcode scanners
by Valerie Meyerson 29 May '18

29 May '18

Hello all - We are in the midst of transitioning our lighting to LED. Last week we had the lights in the circulation area done. All of a sudden our barcode scanners do not work. The will work however, if we turn the lights off above the desk, or scan items underneath the desk! We have a salmon colored granite counter (wonder if it adds reflection...) Our installer has never heard of this before. They have done many other libraries and other retail locations. Has anyone had this problem? If so, how did you resolve it? Thanks for your wisdom.
