MI PR Group meeting next January 17
by Kelly Rembert 12 Jan '23

12 Jan '23

Hi Everyone, The MI PR Group was created to bring Michigan library marketers together to share successes, learn from non-successes and to tackle industry issues together. Whether your job title is "Marketing", or promotion is just one of many hats you wear, this group is here to support you! We are skipping our December meeting but will be back on Tuesday, January 17 at 10am on Zoom. We have Barb Williams from the Library of Michigan as our special guest. She will be presenting: Data & Design: Best Design Practices for your Data. Data is a powerful tool for libraries. However, many fail to grab the attention of their stakeholders with visually unappealing charts and graphs. Strong design can enhance data and create a clearer message. This presentation will focus on design practices of data visualization. It will cover concepts such as design techniques to enhance readability and eye appeal. About the speaker(s): Barbara Williams is the Library Development Analyst for the Library of Michigan. Previously, she has worked as an Adult Services Librarian at Kent District Library for 10 years. She holds a BFA from Grand Valley State University in Art and Design and a MLIS from University of Washington. Barb combines her skills in art and design and library science to visualize data for Library of Michigan. Southfield Public Library is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

Youth Mental Health First Aid Training - Virtual
by Lancaster, Cathy (MDE) 03 Jan '23

03 Jan '23

Youth Mental Health First Aid Training Tuesday, January 10, 2023 8:30am-3:30pm ET Youth Mental Health First Aid is a public education program that introduces participants to risk factors and warning signs of mental illnesses, builds understanding of their impact, and overviews common supports. This is a 2-hour self-paced course, combined with a 6-hour instructor led virtual course* and uses role-playing and simulations to demonstrate how to offer initial help in a mental health crisis and connect persons to the appropriate professional, peer, social, and self-help care. The program also teaches the common risk factors and warning signs of specific types of illnesses, like anxiety, depression, substance use, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, and schizophrenia. * Youth Mental Health First Aid teaches participants a five-step action plan, ALGEE, to support someone developing signs and symptoms of a mental illness or in an emotional crisis: * Assess for risk of suicide or harm * Listen nonjudgmentally * Give reassurance and information * Encourage appropriate professional help * Encourage self-help and other support strategies Like CPR, Mental Health First Aid prepares participants to interact with a person in crisis and connect the person with help. First Aiders do not take on the role of professionals - they do not diagnose or provide any counseling or therapy. Instead, the program offers concrete tools and answers key questions, like "what do I do?" and "where can someone find help?" Certified Mental Health First Aid instructors provide a list of community healthcare providers and national resources, support groups, and online tools for mental health and addictions treatment and support. All trainees receive a program manual to compliment the course material. *Full participation in the virtual course is expected, this includes having a microphone and video functions. Who Should Attend This virtual training is designed for Michigan library staff. Each class is limited so register early. A waiting list will become available once seats are filled. Cancellation Policy Participants who do not complete the self-paced portion, attend the full instructor led day or do not complete the post-work and evaluation will not be eligible to receive a certificate of completion. Cancellations must be received at least three business days prior to the class. Alternates are encouraged for those who register but cannot attend. Participants who do not complete the self-paced portion or attend the full instructor led day will not be eligible to receive a certificate of completion. Register here: https://events.anr.msu.edu/YMHFALibraries23/ This program is supported in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

FW: Special Collections Update -- New Year's Eve 2022
by Oster, Adam (MDE) 31 Dec '22

31 Dec '22

Happy New Year!, 2022 in Review, Ancestry.com Library Edition, & Local History Collection Evaluations [Library of Michigan logo] Special Collections Update - New Year's Eve 2022 Happy New Year!, 2022 in Review, Ancestry.com Library Edition, & Local History Collection Evaluations [LM Interior]Happy New Year from the Library of Michigan! The Library of Michigan's staff wishes you all the best in the New Year! As we finish up 2022, we still have a few holiday closures to work around. The Library of Michigan will be closed from Thursday, December 29 at NOON through Monday, January 2 for the New Year's Holiday. We will return to our normal schedule starting on Tuesday, January 3: Monday through Friday 10AM - 5PM Saturdays 10AM - 4PM ________________________________ 2022 in Review at the Library of Michigan As we soon transition from 2022 to 2023, it's important to reflect back on the last 12 months of activities for the Library of Michigan's Special Collections staff. 2022 brought a wide range of "New" throughout the year. Three new faces joined the Special Collections ranks in the form of Library Technician Betsy Bacon, Law Reference Librarian Eric Kennedy, and Digitization Librarian Jennifer Sasota. The Library of Michigan's website went through a complete refresh as part of a multiyear statewide website content management replacement project<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> to update and replace over 110 State of Michigan executive branch websites. Adam Oster and Jennifer Sasota worked with Library Development's Becky Wartella to transition the Library of Michigan's website through this process. Two new study rooms are now available in the Law Library for small-group meetings or individual study. Additional online resources continue to be added to our remotely accessible database collection<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…>. ReadMichigan.org<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…>'s collection of Michigan publications has expanded with more titles. Furniture original to when the Library of Michigan first opened in 1988 has been replaced with updated pieces that both meet modern needs as well as stay true to the original style and feel of the facility. Finally, the Library updated its catalog system, which staff continue to refine and improve. Special Collections staff have equally balanced the "New" with keeping up valuable, longstanding services and traditions. The 2022 Night for Notables event was the largest celebration of Michigan Notable Authors in recent memory. 3 years of Michigan Notable Books<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> authors (2020, 2021, and 2022) where honored during the Night for Notables event on April 30, 2022, which featured musician, activist, and 2019 Michigan Notable Books honoree Wayne Kramer as the keynote speaker. The Library of Michigan has proudly taken on the administration of the Michigan Author Award<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…>. Historian Larry Massie was honored at the beginning of 2022 as the 2021 Michigan Author Award recipient. Furthermore, Library of Michigan perseveres in celebrating and promoting literacy as the home to the Michigan Center for the Book<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…>. Engagement with our patrons occurred in a wide variety of ways in 2022. Staff served the residents of Michigan through virtual/in-person programs, tours, providing speakers for organizations, and assisting Michigan libraries/historical organizations in evaluating their local history collections. Special Collections explored new opportunities to partner with sister divisions within the Michigan Department of Education<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> to promote literacy, reading, and research skills. Staff also worked to promote the Library of Michigan's collections and services to State of Michigan employees throughout the Lansing Capitol Complex and to the outstate facilities across all of Michigan. Many activities from 2022 will serve as a building block for future patron engagement in 2023. A key partnership in 2022 has been collaborating with our good friends at the Michigan State Capitol to develop a joint exhibit honoring former State Librarian Harriet Tenney. Partnerships are invaluable and Special Collections looks forward to expanded cooperation with the Michigan State Capitol staff as well as with other organizations such as the Historical Society of Michigan<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…>, Historical Society of Greater Lansing<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…>, and many more. It is equally vital in enlisting the assistance of our patrons in tracking down rare and unique items to add to the Library's collections. The #HelpLMFind hashtag campaign has been a fun way to alert patrons of the Library's needs and it will continue into 2023. Thank you for joining the 2022 journey with the Special Collections staff of the Library of Michigan! We look forward to all that 2023 has to offer. [2022 In Review Photos] Photos from throughout 2022 ________________________________ [Ancestry Library Edition]First Virtual Program of 2023: Ancestry.com Library Edition 2023 brings another year of Library of Michigan programs that are available for members of the public.

Learn the process of navigating Ancestry.com's vast collection of records and other strategies as you enhance your family history research skills. ________________________________ Special Collections Staff assisting with Local History Collection Evaluations One of the services offered by Library of Michigan Special Collections staff is assisting libraries, historical organizations, and family history societies in evaluating their local history collections. Special Collections staff will make onsite visits to provide a wide range of guidance as organizations tailor their collections to best fit their mission and community. Topics discussed often include determining the scope of the collection, developing collection development policies, identifying programming and promotion opportunities, and other relevant procedure considerations. Recently Reference Librarian Matt Pacer and Michigan Documents Librarian Bernie Bartlett made visits to Herrick District Library<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> in Holland and Flat River Community Library<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> in Greenville. Both libraries are evaluating their local history collections and had really productive conversations during the visits. Any library or organization looking for a Local History Collections evaluation visit can schedule one by emailing Librarian(a)Michigan.gov<mailto:Librarian@Michigan.gov> or calling 517-335-1477. Be sure to also check out the Local Materials Collection Guide<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> that is on the Library of Michigan's website, which provides a basic framework for developing, maintaining and promoting a local materials collection.
