OverDrive vs hoopla Flex
by Ahlers, Teresa 26 Jul '21

26 Jul '21

Hi, Does anyone have experience with using the new purchasing model ‘Flex’ from hoopla? We are considering transferring content to hoopla from OverDrive and would like to hear from any library that has either done it or considered doing it. Some specific questions/concerns we have are: *Will it confuse patrons having two lending models in hoopla? *How smoothly did the transfer go? *Will it save budget dollars to purchase Flex copies of ‘popular but not probably going to be a classic’ titles? Thanks in advance! Terrie Ahlers Supervisor Grace A. Dow Memorial Library tahlers(a)midland-mi.org 989-837-3451

Michigan Redistricting Communities of Interest
by Michigan Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission 26 Jul '21

26 Jul '21

________________________________________________________________________ ICRC banner Greetings, *On behalf of the Michigan Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission, you are invited to draw and submit a map of your Community of Interest using the Commission's Public Comment Portal [ https://www.michigan-mapping.org/ ]. * Redistricting is a constitutionally mandated process that takes place every 10 years in Michigan, in which electoral district lines - lines that determine your state and congressional representation - are redrawn. This year, for the first time in our state's history, an independent, citizen-led commission is in charge of drawing district lines instead of politicians in Lansing. To help meet the constitutional requirements [ http://www.legislature.mi.gov/(S(m0yavhebjz5dr0amkrainlbt))/mileg.aspx?page… ] for drawing electoral district lines, *the Commission needs to hear from members of the public - including you and your community - about Communities of Interest. * Communities of Interest are defined as [ http://www.legislature.mi.gov/(S(m0yavhebjz5dr0amkrainlbt))/mileg.aspx?page… ]areas that "may include, but shall not be limited to, populations that share cultural or historical characteristics or economic interests. Communities of interest do not include relationships with political parties, incumbents, or political candidates." *The Commission kindly requests that you draw and submit a map of your Community of Interest using the Commission’s Public Comment Portal [ https://www.michigan-mapping.org/ ].* Mapping your Community of Interest will allow the Commission to view the specific, detailed geographical area of your community, along with a written description. The map you draw will be helpful to the Commission as they begin to draw electoral district lines in the coming months, allowing them to better take community boundaries and descriptions into account, and to avoid splitting Communities of Interest between multiple electoral districts where possible. To draw and submit a map of your Community of Interest, you can navigate to the Public Comment Portal or jump straight to the How to Draw a Map [ https://www.michigan-mapping.org/#draw ] section of the page. Mapping resources and video tutorials are also available in this section. The COI mapping button looks like this: COI Button [ https://districtr.org/portal/mi/coi ] If you would like additional assistance or instruction on drawing and submitting a Community of Interest, the Commission encourages you to attend an upcoming Public Mapping Workshop (via Zoom). These workshops, run by the Districtr mapping software team in partnership with the MICRC, will provide hands-on instruction on how to use the Commission’s mapping tool and Public Comment Portal. There are trainings available on Wednesdays (sign up here [ https://tufts.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJcufuuhqjgvHtUm72PE3s-wi_BtB4AgssBC ]) and smaller “study halls” on Thursdays and Fridays (sign up here [ https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdrIRcCWonPdy2n9eCqvs62NBX5sUMtBvo… ]) throughout July. The Commission sincerely thanks you for your engagement in this historic process. Happy mapping!

ALA webinar -- Insta-Library: Connecting to Youth Through Instagram during COVID Times
by Lancaster, Cathy (MDE) 26 Jul '21

26 Jul '21

Insta-Library: Connecting to Youth Through Instagram during COVID Times Date: July 26, 2021 Time: 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm Eastern Time (Free) Donna Scheeder, Moderator Presentation Title: Insta-Library: Connecting to Youth Through Instagram during COVID Times In March 2020, New York City became the nation's epicenter of the COVID-19 crisis and shut down to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus. The 88 neighborhood branches and 4 research centers of the New York Public Library (NYPL) were some of the many places to physically close. Prior to the pandemic, connecting with our young patrons beyond our physical spaces was integral to our work but it became apparent how vital these digital channels were when they became the sole way to connect with our community. As NYPL staff quickly transitioned to working from home, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library (SNFL) Teen Center team had the opportunity to create content for the @nyplteens Instagram page. As the targeted audiences are NYC teens and educators, the team established a more casual tone to separate us from the flagship account. Over the past year, the Young Adult staff created posts highlighting NYPL service updates, critical city-wide COVID-19 information, community resources addressing food insecurity, and digital resources to assist with online learning. In response to the stress caused by social distancing, we created short-form content on "Adulting'' and coping and fostered connection by going Live with community-based organizations. To encourage youth to get involved, we disseminated information on civic opportunities and voting to support first-time youth voters. Recognizing that today's young people consider themselves more socially aware, we responded directly to the hyper-focus on racial inequalities and supported social justice by posting content that amplified Black authors and Black history. With a full team behind the social media account, there was a marked growth in engagement and audience. Attendees to this presentation will learn user-friendly tools for content creation, methods for collaborative content, organizational techniques for schedule-keeping, and best practices for both reactionary and proactive responses. Donna Scheeder, Moderator Speakers: The New York Public Library - Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library, Teen Center; Genee Bright, Senior Librarian, Susen Shi, Senior Librarian, Ricci Yuhico, Managing Librarian - Young Adult Education Programming; Caitlyn Colman-McGaw, Manager, Young Adult Programs.
