Magazine Binders
by Chase, Kristine 11 Jul '22

11 Jul '22

Hello Library World, I am reaching out to see what other libraries are doing with their serials. We at the Livonia Public Library are currently using magazine binders to protect our current issues. We are considering not continuing this practice, and we wanted to see what other libraries currently do. Here are the questions that we are looking at: Do you currently or in the past have used magazine binders? If you have and don't anymore, have you seen an increase in wear and tear to your materials? Has theft been an issue? If you currently are using magazine binders how often do you have to replace them? If so, what is the cost to replace them? If you have used them in the past, but no longer do what was the reason that you discontinued using them? If our library could get even a few responses we would be grateful. We are trying to see what other libraries practices are, so that we can make a decision on our practices. Thank You, Kristy Chase [cid:LivoniaLibrary-150_448311fd-878c-427d-a2b3-a583dea86bcb.png]<http://www.livoniapubliclibrary.org> Kristine Chase Librarian I Livonia Public Library (734) 466-2156 kchase(a)livoniapubliclibrary.org www.livoniapubliclibrary.org<http://www.livoniapubliclibrary.org> [cid:SocialLink_Facebook_32x32_f4cd0f65-1d29-42e1-8c6b-fa4525a26a66.png] <https://www.facebook.com/livonialibrary/> [cid:SocialLink_Twitter_32x32_88eae9ba-dbc6-4e96-8fbb-583ba4e951d4.png] <https://twitter.com/livonia_library> [cid:SocialLink_Youtube_32x32_aebcc362-2268-4807-a71b-51f1c09418fd.png] <https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC81D_yBDdwEXucKYYvCnXOQ> This message is intended only for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed, and may contain information that is privileged, confidential, and/or exempt from disclosure under applicable laws.

Re: [Michlib-l] Ancestry Library Edition versus MyHeritage
by Mary Harrison 11 Jul '22

11 Jul '22

Good Morning Again MichLibL, Several libraries asked me to compile and share answers to my earlier question. Please find the compilation attached. I really liked the genealogy resources listed on Sherman Township Library's site and am planning to do something similar for Coloma: http://shermantwplib.weebly.com/genealogy.html. Good luck to everyone, Mary Mary Jean Harrison Director Coloma Public Library 151 W. Center Street PO Box 430 Coloma Michigan 49083 269-468-3431 www.colomapubliclibrary.net <http://www.colomapubliclibrary.net/> The most important asset of any library goes home at night - the library staff. Timothy Healy From: Mary Harrison <> Sent: Wednesday, July 6, 2022 10:10 AM To: 'michlib-l(a)mail.mcls.org' <michlib-l(a)mail.mcls.org> Subject: Ancestry Library Edition versus MyHeritage Good Morning MichLibL, Our library is considering dropping Ancestry Library edition due to the high cost and sliding usage numbers-the average cost per search in June for our library was $8.06! Our patrons apparently got used to using it at home in the last couple of years. We had respectable numbers before the pandemic, but not so much anymore. Does MyHeritage serve your patrons' genealogy needs? We like the fact that it's free to us through Mel eLibrary. We would be grateful for any feedback you can provide about either Ancestry or MyHeritage. Mary Jean Harrison Director Coloma Public Library 151 W.
