Still time to register for Foundations of Digital Literacy
by Pam Seabolt 02 Mar '21

02 Mar '21

Registration is open for virtual training offered by MCLS for library staff on foundational digital literacy topics. This two-day virtual workshop will be offered twice in March. Class sizes are kept small to allow for personal attention and interactive activities. The Foundations of Digital Literacy workshop is designed to help library staff gain confidence in everyday interactions with technology and is intended for participants who would like a basic introduction to digital literacy topics. Knowledge and skills taught and practiced during the workshop will include a basic understanding of hardware including internal and external components of various devices, how various types of networks function, the composition of webpages and websites, various browsers and their functionality, search engines and tips to perform an effective web search, how to evaluate search results, and information on digital privacy and cybersecurity. As this workshop will be presented virtually through Zoom, participants will need to have a basic knowledge of how to log in and participate in a Zoom meeting. This is intended to be an interactive course that involves discussion and hands-on practice. To successfully complete the workshop participants must have a microphone enabled, and if possible, a camera. The workshops are two days from 10am – 12:30pm Eastern (9am – 11:30am Central), and will be offered on March 18-19 and March 30-31.

Innovation is not as much about developing the coolest, newest thing, but much more about leadership, fostering change, and understanding stakeholder needs. This workshop will examine such areas as sustaining a culture of innovation; building an innovation strategy tied to organizational values; moving from experimentation to action; and assessing innovation. Learning outcomes: 1. Develop an innovation strategy and goals 2. Explore practical activities to implement and assess innovations 3. Define and understand the different levels and types of innovation 4. Analyze the organizational conditions necessary to initiate and sustain innovation This session will be facilitated by *Cinthya Ippoliti,* University Librarian and Director of the Auraria Library at the University of Colorado Denver. This session will be recorded. To receive a copy of the recording, please register to attend. *This one-hour workshop is open to all UM students, faculty, staff, alumni, and other interested community members.* Register for the Workshop <https://umich.us16.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e9b2b5d19629a8e1a9b2e4523&…> *Cinthya Ippoliti* is the Auraria Library University Librarian and Director.

Program Recommendation: Larry Martin's WWII In Their Own Words
by Theresa Mann 02 Mar '21

02 Mar '21

Hello All, I am giving another recommendation for Larry Martin's WWII In Their Own Words Program. We hosted Larry via Zoom and had a very good attendance for our virtual programs. Larry presented an interview with Detroit born Tuskegee Airman Lt. Col. Alexander Jefferson. The interview with Mr. Jefferson was very interesting and poignant. This was the second virtual program we have had with Larry Martin. He is very prepared and is quite knowledgeable about WWII. He welcomes questions and likes a discussion period after the interview is shown. Highly recommended. Sincerely, Theresa Mann Librarian Mount Clemens Public Library 150 Cass Avenue | Mount Clemens MI 48043 586-469-6200 mannt(a)libcoop.net

We replaced our soap dispensers with touch free so we have refills available to another library. https://www.amazon.com/9127-12-Klean-Antimicrobial-Lotion-Dispenser/dp/B07T… The refills are compatible with more than just Gojo dispensers. I have a case of these refills and will send them through RIDES. Let me know if you can use them!
