Program Recommendation- Digging in the Shadow of the Shard
by Mick Howey 22 Jun '21

22 Jun '21

Hello, On Saturday the Baldwin Public Library hosted the fascinating and entertaining program Digging in the Shadow of the Shard. The program focused on archaeological digs that have been done in London, England. The program progressed through the different time periods of London, highlighting specific or intriguing finds from each period. Ellen Green was the presenter and was great! She was personable, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. Ellen is a PhD researcher at the University of Reading in England, specializing in human remains. Prior to her return to academia she was a field archaeologist in London for 5 years, and she has worked on sites from every period in the city's history. Many participants commented how much they enjoyed the program, one saying it was a breath of fresh air. Something to keep in mind, Ellen lives in England and as such the program must be remote and most likely on a Saturday or Sunday. If you are interested in hosting the program, Ellen can be contacted at green.ellenjane(a)gmail.com Best, Mick Howey, MLIS Adult Services Librarian Baldwin Public Library 300 West Merrill Street Birmingham, MI 48009 (248) 554-4649 https://www.baldwinlib.org/ Currently Reading <https://www.goodreads.com/user/email_signature_destination/72296780?utm_med…> [image: Book Cover] <https://www.goodreads.com/user/email_signature_destination/72296780?utm_med…> [image: Goodreads Logo] <https://www.goodreads.com/?utm_medium=gr_logo&utm_source=email_signature>Get your own email signature <https://www.goodreads.com/user/email_signature_instructions?utm_medium=gyo_…>

Cataloging Staff
by Schofield-Dahl, Lynn 22 Jun '21

22 Jun '21

Enquiring minds want to know: How do the Cataloging & Processing staff at your library fit into your organizational chart? Do you have your own Cataloging Department? (and what is the name of that Department? Cataloging? Technical Services? Do you have a department head and if so, what is the title of that position???) Are the staff who perform these duties part of another department? (And if so, which department?) Are your cataloging staff considered Librarians?, Support Staff?? Do you fill those positions with Degreed personnel? Thanks in advance. -- *Lynn Schofield-Dahl* *Deputy Director* Albion District Library 501 S. Superior Street, Albion, MI 49224 517.629.3993 albionlibrary.org
