LM's Library Science Collection - Literacies in the Library
by Reish, Karren (MDE) 07 Dec '23

07 Dec '23

Facilitating literacy is a core value and function for libraries. But what is literacy? Libraries focus on reading literacy with lapsit programming and summer reading, but we also provide support for literacy needs like English as a Second Language, digital literacy, media literacy and financial literacy. What programming options are out there for this broad perspective on literacy? LM is highlighting topical Library Science titles from our collection in occasional emails. Here are selected titles on literacy programming and services 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. 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. Literacy Programming & Services titles: * Teaching information literacy reframed : 50+ framework-based exercises for creating information-literate learners / Joanna M. Burkhardt / Neal-Schuman, 2016. * Power lines : connecting with teens in urban communities through media literacy / Jimmeka Anderson and Kelly Czarnecki / ALA Editions, 2022. * Impactful community-based literacy projects / Lesley S. J. Farmer / ALA Editions, 2021. * Gather 'round the table : food literacy programs, resources, and ideas for libraries / Hillary Dodge / ALA Editions, 2020. * Navigating fake news, alternative facts, and misinformation in a post-truth world / Kimiz Dalkir, Rebecca Katz / Information Science Reference, 2020. * Rainy day ready : financial literacy programs and tools / edited by Melanie Welch and Patrick Hogan / ALA Editions, 2020. * Mother Goose on the Loose : updated / Betsy Diamant-Cohen / ALA Editions, 2019. * Partnering with parents : boosting literacy for all ages / Mary Schreiber / Libraries Unlimited, 2019. * Teaching media literacy / Belinha S. De Abreu / Neal-Schuman, 2019. 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. You can find the information on interlibrary loan borrowing from the Library of Michigan here - https://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/about/libuseguidelines/guideforl…. The page references state employees, but libraries may also borrow from the collection through interlibrary loan. Please feel free to contact me if you have any issues getting a title. The Library Science Collection at LM is made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Have a title you'd like us to purchase? Let me know!

Figuring Non-Resident Fees
by Erin Schmandt 07 Dec '23

07 Dec '23

A couple of years ago, someone at LoM gave us a handout with two formulas for computing a fair non-resident fee based on the taxes your patrons pay. I used to have it in a certain spot and of course, when I want to refer to it, it is not there. Does anyone have a copy handy to send me? Erin Erin N.
