Security cameras
by Reed, Nyama 24 Jan '20

24 Jan '20

Hello Everyone, We are considering adding security cameras to our main lobby. If you have cameras, can you give me some feedback? 1. What brand do you use? 2. Are the pictures good enough quality to get a decent picture of someone? 3. Are the files saved to the library server and then police have to request a big (potentially a warrant) when needed? 4. Or do the files save directly to the police department? 5. What instances have cameras helped you with? 6. What, if any, negative consequences have you experienced? ex. concerns about privacy? Have a wonderful day, Nyama Nyama Y. Reed (she / her / hers) Library Director N.Reed(a)WFBLibrary.org 414-755-6551 (direct line) Whitefish Bay Public Library 5420 North Marlborough Drive Whitefish Bay, WI 53217 414-964-4380 (main line) [1578493400719] Our Mission The Whitefish Bay Public Library, as a cornerstone of the community, is dedicated to connecting people of all ages, inspiring a love of learning and providing easy access to ideas, information and resources.

PBS Books Update and Upcoming Screening: THE GENE
by Shannon White - Library of Michigan 24 Jan '20

24 Jan '20

In the fall, more than 100 libraries shared the screening of COUNTRY MUSIC: A Film By Ken Burns with their communities in collaboration with PBS Books, WETA, and their local PBS station. PBS Books received more than 225 surveys with feedback from library partners and event participants. I'd like to share a few takeaways as you contemplate sharing some other PBS Books Screening offerings: * More than 90% of libraries would recommend the partnership/screening to a colleague. * More than 90% of libraries reported that they believed that the screening content was Very Good or Excellent. * More than 95% of libraries stating that they were interested in continuing/growing a partnership with their local PBS station and hosting another screening. * Nearly 90% of attendees said that they would participate in future events hosted by their library in partnership with their PBS station. As a former library director, I know the value of being able to share quality educational content that sparks community conversation. If you are interested in having a conversation about gentrification in your library community and missed the deadline for the East Lake Meadow screening, then please email me directly. Otherwise, I wanted to remind you that the screening application deadline for THE GENE is rapidly approaching: February 1. (Nearly 50% of attendees to COUNTRY MUSIC screenings said that they were Ken Burns fans! You have a built-in audience for this one.) KEN BURNS PRESENTS THE GENE: AN INTIMATE HISTORY APPLICATION DEADLINE IS February 1, 2020. Screenings may be held between March 1 and May 31, 2020 (adjusted from earlier announcements due to production delays) The film will premiere on PBS on April 7 and April 14, 2020.

We have almost a full box (just under 500) of 10 ¾" x 6 ¾" Clear Face Document Envelopes, Tape Logic brand, I believe. We used these to hold and protect the shipping labels for our interlibrary loan items that we shipped through the mail, but our system changed, and we no longer use them. I will send these to the first library to respond to me with their RIDES code. Thanks, Brenna Wade Public Services Librarian Hillsdale College Mossey Library 33 E College St Hillsdale, MI 49242 (517) 607-2606 bwade(a)hillsdale.edu

WWII and local Detroit History Program Recommendation
by Katie Rothley 23 Jan '20

23 Jan '20

Dear Michlib, I just hosted Bailey Sisoy Isgro, from the Detroit History Tours, for a presentation on Rosie the Riveter and she was fantastic. She was engaging, gracious, knowledgeable and hilarious. We could really tell she loves history, especially Detroit, Michigan history, and her enthusiasm is infectious! Our community members were enthralled, and praised her as they were leaving, asking if we could have her back. We originally scheduled about an hour and a half for her presentation, but ended up going two hours because of questions and the interest! I highly recommend Bailey. Here is the contact information for her: email Augusta at "Detroit History Tours" <office(a)detroithistorytours.com>. Augusta manages the speakers who work for Detroit History Tours. Sincerely, Katie Katie Rothley, MLIS Marketing & Outreach Librarian Lyon Township Public Library 27005 S. Milford Rd., South Lyon, MI 48178 https://www.lyon.lib.mi.us/ (248) 437-8800 ext. 618

Wireless printing responses
by Margaret Bentley 23 Jan '20

23 Jan '20

Thank you to everyone who responded to my question about wireless printing. A summary of the responses follows: WIRELESS PRINTING RESPONSES *VENDOR* *LIBRARY* *OTHER COMMENTS* Princh Caro District Library https://princh.com/ Princh St Charles DL Princh Lapeer District Library https://princh.com/library-printing-solution/#.Xii_FchKiUk Princh Ruth Hughes It can be used as an app version on phones/tablets, or a web version on laptops/desktops. Our IT technician worked with Princh to connect it with our main printer, and patrons can send jobs at any time, which then sit in a queue at a staff computer or circulation computer until a member of staff release it. We have signs posted all over the building with the 'printer ID' and QR code and basic instructions, so patrons can use it on their own, and it is fairly straightforward once you download and open the app. I believe it can be set up with cards (I assume debit/credit) but we have it set to only be paid by cash (or check if it came to that) upon release at our front desk, like the rest of our prints/copies. In my experience it is easy to use and reliable-the only tricky bit is we seem to have some difficulty printing certain types of documents such as bank statements or legal forms, which we assume has something to do with encryption and compatibility. We are looking into that. Envisionware CADL supposed to be able to just attach the document to an email, send it to a provided address that differs depending on branch location and b/w or color, and then use the email they sent it from in place of their library card number, which is normally what the print jobs are tied to. So in theory, pretty easy. In practice, it’s very unreliable. Sometimes it works like a charm. Other times it doesn’t show for 10-15 minutes. Still other times it snags somewhere in the process that only IT could see and address and basically never arrive. Envisionware Ferndale Area DL Print e-mail Loutit Patrons are able to forward their prints to that email, and we print it for them. mConsole Bad Axe patrons can search for the associated printer in their phones and send to print. mConsole Ionia Community mConsole (Library Gear) White Lake We have "Library Gear" from mConsole in Sanilac as our public internet time management and print management service, and they set it up so anyone connected to our wifi can send a job to the printer. It still goes through the print management software, so they have to come to the desk to pay for it before we release it to the printer. Canon App Hudson Carnegie Patrons download app Library’s wi-fi Wakefield 1)Connect their phone to the library wi-fi 2)Open the label or document they want to print (usually but not always an attachment to an email. Some people print pictures from their phone) 3)Select the appropriate printer on the list of available printers and hit print ePrintit Jonesville DL It works as a cloud portal. We have it set up where patrons can go to our website and drop-and-drag their document to the portal and send it to us (this can be done on a laptop in the library or from their home computers) OR they can forward the item to be printed from an email to our portal (mainly for cell phones). Then, we open our portal, click the print button and the item to be printed is pulled from the cloud and sent to our printer. Library public computers T.A. Cutler Memorial we just encourage our patrons to sign on to a public access computer and print directly from there Printer On Chesterfield Twp. Printer On Charlevoix Public [App] The print job is sent wirelessly to the printer, then retrieved at the print station. Patrons can also print from home using it. Printer On Grosse Pointe We use a service called Printer On. It is quite intuitive, and hasn’t required a lot of staff assistance. We are lucky enough to have an IT person who set it all up. Here is a link to their site: https://www.printeron.com/mobile-printing.html HP Printer app Saranac Public set up on your public wifi, patrons can download the HP Smart app and print. This app is super easy to use if you have an iphone and not easy to use if you have an android! Margaret Bentley Adult Services Librarian Shiawassee District Library--Owosso 502 W.
