iPad Mobile Device Management
by Brandon Richards 19 Jan '22

19 Jan '22

Good morning all, For libraries that circulate iPads, I was curious what sort of device management software, or other solutions you have deployed. In particular, we're looking for content filtering for CIPA compliance as well as things like enabling temporary sessions with guest accounts. Most of the MDM solutions I've found seem fairly expensive, or have much larger schools/corporations in mind, so I'm hoping I can find something a little more suited to a smaller library. Thanks! -- Brandon Richards Technology Coordinator/Trainer Houghton Lake Public Library 4431 W Houghton Lake Dr Houghton Lake, MI 48629 989.366.9230

The NFPF offers two types of federal cash grants that support the preservation of historically and culturally significant American films. Completed applications will be due Friday, April 29th.

The awards range from $1,000 to $20,000. For more information go to https://www.filmpreservation.org/nfpf-grants/basic-preservation-grants Matching Grants help experienced institutions undertake larger-scale projects; applicants may request cash stipends of between $20,001 and $75,000 to fund laboratory work.

For more information go to https://www.filmpreservation.org/nfpf-grants/matching-grants If your institution has a project that fits grant guidelines, you are encouraged to apply.
