International Collections Inter Library Loan Query
by Shannon O'Leary 14 Sep '19

14 Sep '19

Good Morning Everyone, Please forgive the duplicate emails. I would like to inquire about International Collections. More specifically my questions are: 1. Do you have an International Collection? 2. Is it available for Inter Library Loan (via TLN, a different consortium, MEL, MiLibrary Card, etc.)? Please if you could include the name of your library as well in your responses, that would be wonderful! Yes or no answers are fine! For those libraries which are a part if ICLR (International Collection Librarians’ Roundtable) I have your responses already recorded. Thank you so very much for you help!

No Reservation Recommendations
by Rebecca Higgerson 13 Sep '19

13 Sep '19

Dear Director Colleagues, In May 2018, the Woodlands Library Cooperative Continuing Education Committee, under Director Kate Pohjola Andrade, offered a workshop titled, “The care and feeding of our library buildings” in Jackson, Michigan. I attended and at the conclusion of the program Kate and I began discussing how public libraries could better share facilities-related information. As it often happens, the discussion grew into the larger issue of how libraries can share a wide variety of vendor information with each other without redundancy. The concept on which we settled was to offer a moderated website where directors can provide contact information for companies with whom they’ve had a positive experience. Thus “No Reservation Recommendations” (NRR) was born! Shauna Quick, Circulation Manager at Brandon Township Public Library, was brought into the project to design the website and ensure its functionality. Our “No Reservation Recommendations” website <https://nrr.ninja/> will provide you with more vendor options in an ever expanding area of categories and *arranged by cooperative boundaries*. However, in order to ensure that we have a robust database, we need all of you to submit those positive recommendations. Because, as we know, there is nothing better than recommendations from our trusted colleagues. To date we have the following categories: · Attorneys · Auditors · Branding/Logos · Carpet · Doors · Electricians · Flooring · Maintenance Plans · Millage Campaigns · Other · Painters · People Counters · Phones · Plumbers · Printing/Copiers · Roofs · Security Staff · Security Systems · Strategic Plans (in-house) · Strategic Plans (contracted) >From now until we officially launch the website <https://nrr.ninja/> at the MLA Conference in October, we simply ask that you submit “No Reservation” company contact information. If it’s for a category not on the list above, please submit under “Other” and we’ll be happy to create a new category. *Also, if you are seeking information in a category not yet on the list, we are happy to put out a request to the listservs and ask our fellow directors to submit; simply email me directly and let me know.* We have a list of “rules” on the “Submit a Recommendation” page: - Only Library Directors may submit recommendations - Library Directors submit vendors with whom they have had positive experiences - Library Directors respond to requests from other libraries seeking more detail - It is the responsibility of the Library Director seeking recommendations to fully research the vendors beyond the NRR website - Anyone can access and review NRR recommendations This project will work only if directors state-wide get behind it and submit recommendations <https://nrr.ninja/>. So please submit always and often! https://nrr.ninja Sincerely, Rebecca Higgerson *Rebecca Higgerson* Director Brandon Twp Public Library 304 South Street Ortonville MI 48462 248-627-1474 *ENGAGE **•** EDUCATE **•** ENRICH **•** EMPOWER*

Miller (August 2019) Grants The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) is accepting grant applications for Accelerating Promising Practices for Small Libraries (APP). The deadline to apply is December 2, 2019. APP is a special initiative of the National Leadership Grants for Libraries Program. The goals of this initiative are to support projects that strengthen the ability of small and/or rural libraries and archives to serve their communities and to build capacity through participation in a community of practice. IMLS invites applications that focus on community memory, digital inclusion, or transforming K-12 school library practice, and are clearly linked to the library's broader community needs. This grant opportunity is designed for small and/or rural libraries and archives, and applicants should consider how their organization might be a good fit. There are a number of ways to be "small," and attributes of "small" libraries or archives could include: * number of staff members and volunteers; * operating budget and sources of revenue; * size of the collection and range of services provided; * size of facility and property; * types, numbers, and geographic distribution of audiences served; and size relative to other organizations of the same discipline or within the same geographic region.
