LM Workforce Development Starter Collection Offer
by Reish, Karren (MDE) 18 May '21

18 May '21

A final reminder to fill out the survey if you are interested in a set of workforce development titles. I'm extending the deadline to tomorrow, May 19th at 5:00 PM. As part of the workforce development support focus in the CARES and LSTA Acts, the Library of Michigan is offering a free starter collection of approximately 10 workforce development print titles. LM will purchase the books and have them shipped via UPS to your library. We ask that you offer the titles to the public as soon as possible. We anticipate the materials will be available this summer. Materials will be shipped to your library from Emery Pratt. Eligible libraries are legally established public libraries or a community college or tribal libraries providing regular public access to a circulating library collection. To request a set, fill out this survey<https://survey.alchemer.com/s3/6307799/Workforce-Development-Collection-Bui…> by May 15th. You may request one set per library location, meaning if you have branches or a bookmobile, you may ask for a set for those locations as well as your main library. Please submit a single survey response for EACH location you are requesting materials for. Finally, if you have suggestions for the titles to be included, there is a suggestion question in the survey and we look forward to seeing your recommendations. This resource is supported in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services administered by the Library of Michigan.https://survey.alchemer.com/s3/6307799/Workforce-Development-Colle… Karren Reish Library of Michigan Library Grants Coordinator 517-241-0021 www.michigan.gov/lsta<http://www.michigan.gov/lsta> www.michigan.gov/sl21<http://www.michigan.gov/sl21> [cid:image001.png@01D73852.3A367480]

Compiling a core collection
by Shel Plews 18 May '21

18 May '21

Hello Deb, A co-worker passed your request for tips along to me, since I do the DVD buying for our library. One of the things I have done is to check Academy Award winning films over the years and try to get all of those who won Best Picture. In more recent years I try to buy all of the nominees in every category as well. Some of the internet sites offering free reviews may also have lists of recommended genres, depending on the needs and wants of your community. After some years of checking circulation and paying attention to patron requests I have developed a sense of what will circulate in our community. The sites I use the most are Rottentomatoes, Common Sense Media and IMDb (Internet Movie Database). I hope this is helpful and please feel free to contact me. Thank-you, Shel <http://loutitlibrary.org/> Shel Plews Library Assistant I / Cataloging she/her (what’s this? <https://www.mypronouns.org/>) 616.850.6926 | loutitlibrary.org 407 Columbus Ave. Grand Haven, MI 49417 Expanding Horizons.
