Ages for Programs
by Lorry Traver 11 Jan '23

11 Jan '23

Good morning, Could you tell me what your library does for youth programming age recommendations? Do you specify recommended age groups for certain programs, or do you always open it to all ages regardless of the program? Thank you for your help! -- “It is not true that we have only one life to live; if we can read, we can live as many more lives and as many kinds of lives as we wish.” – S.I.

A hallmark of libraries are our special collections, such as local history materials. Special collections materials are frequently unique and available only in your library. So how can you improve access and protect historically valuable items at the same time? LM is highlighting topical Library Science titles from our collection in occasional emails. Here are selected titles on preservation and digitization purchased recently. You can search MeLCat for LM titles and you can also check our New Library Science Collection titles at https://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/libraries/libsci<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.michi…>. Click on the ANSWER catalog link and use "Library Science Collection" as one of the search terms in the Advanced Search - Notes field and you will pull only the library science collection titles. REMINDER: Titles are available through interlibrary loan only right now, as our MeLCat delivery is temporarily offline while we prepare to move to a new catalog.

Fw: Mellon Awards CLIR $4 Million to Extend Recordings at Risk Grant Program
by Gallo, Biz (MDE) 10 Jan '23

For those institutions with audiovisual (audio, video, or film) material in their collections, CLIR's Recordings at Risk Grant Program is a great funding opportunity to have that fragile media digitally preserved!

The program will run three competitions between 2023 and 2025, awarding a total of $2.25 million. Audio and audiovisual recordings document vital, irreplaceable aspects of twentieth and twenty-first century life, but if the current generation of professionals fails to act, vast amounts of this history will be lost. Digital reformatting is currently the best available solution for ensuring the survival and utility of recorded content stored on fragile or obsolete media such as magnetic tape, grooved discs, cylinders, or film. Launched in 2016, Recordings at Risk has awarded more than $4.5 million over nine grant cycles. “Through Recordings at Risk, CLIR empowers nonprofit organizations to preserve and create access to information recorded on fragile and obsolete media,” said CLIR president Charles Henry. “Participants in the program are able to digitally capture and ethically share rare and unique historical recordings for the benefit of research and learning in the twenty-first century and beyond.” “We are excited about the opportunity to introduce this program to organizations that may be new to the implementation of audiovisual reformatting. We are eager to expand our outreach to diverse audiences and organizations that may be new to hearing about CLIR,” said program officer Sharon Burney. CLIR will open its next competition on January 17, 2023. Subsequent calls for proposals will be issued in January 2024 and January 2025. Awards will range from $10,000 to $50,000 and will cover direct costs of preservation reformatting for audio and audiovisual time-based media by eligible organizations working with experienced external service providers. To make their determinations, CLIR’s independent review panel will assess the potential scholarly or public impact of proposed projects, the urgency of undertaking those projects, the viability of applicants’ plans for long-term preservation, and the overall cost-effectiveness of the proposals. For more information on the program, visit https://www.clir.org/recordings-at-risk/<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fd2nctl04.…>. The Council on Library and Information Resources<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fd2nctl04.…> is an independent, nonprofit organization that forges strategies to enhance research, teaching, and learning environments in collaboration with libraries, cultural institutions, and communities of higher learning.

advice needed
by Julie Censke 10 Jan '23

10 Jan '23

Dear Libraryland, I'm trying to get the Harry Bosch series on Melcat for a patron who cannot read the fine print due to his vision. He can do regular print on hardcover books, but mass markets are a no-go. I followed my usual protocol of searching by the hardcover ISBN, but for some reason, the paperbacks seem to be lumped into the same record. I keep getting mass markets, and my poor patron is frustrated. Do you have any ideas on how I can get the hardcover books I need? He is currently in need of #2, Black Ice. Thank you for any help you can provide. Julie Censke Library Director Colon Township Library (269) 432-3958 office
