MeL Early Reader Product Trials and Demonstration Webinars
by Breed, Liz (MDE) 08 Apr '19

08 Apr '19

Greetings! As you may have seen in the Library of Michigan's March Dispatch Newsletter, Randy Riley wrote about the RFP process<https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/MILOM/bulletins/234136c#link_1> we're engaged in to support the development of literacy for early readers. Specifically, we're interested in adding full-text/full book content for early readers. The technical scoring phase of the process has been completed for the 6 proposals we received and there were 3 eResource vendors (Gale, EBSCO, and Coughlin Capstone ) that passed technical scoring. We are now ready for phase 2 which is to test drive these eResources and share feedback. There are two parts to this process. 1. Attend product demonstration webinars from each of the three vendors. 2. Participate in product trials with the products each vendor is offering. To access the information you need to participate, please view this Google doc<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1x6ePD4od9UN3KdbkWdvTNq7u-CUZ-gL8KHEHKRb…> with all the details. You will find dates/times/links for the webinars as well as login info for the trials. All product demonstration webinars will be recorded and the links to those recordings will be shared so if you can't attend, the opportunity to view is still available. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. And if you know of someone who may not receive posts from the listservs, please feel free to forward this to them. We would like to cast a wide net and invite as many as possible. Many thanks for your participation in this process!

United for Libraries for Friends!
by Membiela, Clare (MDE) 08 Apr '19

08 Apr '19

Greetings! If you have an interest in Public Library Friends groups, United for Libraries (the division of the American Library Association focused on Public Library Boards and Friends groups), provides many handy tools and tips to assist Friends groups with many typical activities. One of these activities is Online Book Selling This practice can be a very lucrative one since certain categories of books (such as certain textbooks, technical manuals, antique volumes, and more) can sometimes fetch a larger price online than in a typical book sale. If your Friends group is considering launching online book sales, or is already selling books online but are curious about how other Friends Groups conduct online sales, United for Libraries has information for you! To view this information: Go to www.ala.org/united<http://www.ala.org/united> LOGIN by clicking the "login" button in the upper right corner of your screen. Login using the Username and Password provided by the Library of Michigan (with LSTA funds) (If you are unsure of the username and password, contact membielac(a)michigan.gov<mailto:membielac@michigan.gov> and we will get the info to you). Click the white button labeled "Friends", located approximately on the middle right of your screen. You will be taken to the Friends Group area of the United for Libraries website. Click the "Idea Sharing" link on the left navigation Choose "Online Book selling" Voila! Tips and info galore! Enjoy - and while you are there, take a few minutes to explore the other Friends information available! Need assistance? Don't hesitate to call or e-mail! Clare D. Membiela, MLS, J.D.

For more information or to register, please click here<https://store.mcls.org/index.php/the-techie-has-left-the-building-now-what-…>. The Techie has left the building: Now what do I do? Have you ever felt anxious when someone walks in needing help with their device, but the person who normally helps has just left? Fear not! Midwest Collaborative for Library Services (MCLS) is presenting two interactive, in-person workshops that will give you the skills and confidence you need to identify PC components, use various devices, and know where to begin looking when you’re not sure what to do. During the workshop you will have the opportunity for hands-on practice with PC hardware and peripherals, to explore technology competencies, and to add to your toolbox of technology resources.

Vidcode: Discounted TLN Pricing
by Jim Flury 08 Apr '19

08 Apr '19

Good Morning, TLN has arranged discounted pricing for Vidcode [ https://about.vidcode.com/libraries | https://about.vidcode.com/libraries ] Vidcode is a simultaneous use, remote or in library, service. Several TLN member libraries took a test drive of Vidcode last year. At the time Vidcode did not have in place a realistic pricing model for public libraries. I told this vendor that if/when they were ready to talk about discounted pricing for Michigan libraries, I would consider working with them on a statewide level. They have a handful of public library customers in the United States. Their core audience at this time is the public school market. Please review the Vidcode service and if you would like a price quote for your library, let me know. Thanks. Jim Jim Flury Technical Services Manager The Library Network 41365 Vincenti Court Novi, MI 48375 248-536-3100, ext 133 Fax 248-536-3098 jflury(a)tln.lib.mi.us

library tables available
by Linda Stone 05 Apr '19

05 Apr '19

Sorry, it's Friday afternoon and it's been a long week. I'll try again. I have two 60" by 34" tables available to a good home. (Picture attached). They are a little worn but very stable and heavy. The only deal is you have to come pick them up and it will take at least two strong people to get them from the library into your truck. They are free. First come, first served. Happy weekend, Linda Stone Head of the Upper School Library Cranbrook Kingswood School 39221 Woodward Avenue Bloomfield Hills, MI 48304 248-645-3455
