Barcode scanners/readers
by Ann Bissell 06 Apr '21

06 Apr '21

The last time bar were purchased was at least 5 years ago and I need some help! I believe we use codabar format- there are 13 numbers on labels, with a check digit at the beginning. If the image doesn't load, there is a sample in the attachment. [cid:12a1769e-b59b-4643-a61d-b74f27f5e776] I have the following questions: Are the scanners/readers plug & play or is there some software that needs to uploaded? And why are prices so varied? $40 to $200. Any recommendations? Where did you purchase them? Thanks collective wisdom!

Selling in meeting room space
by Kat Boyer 06 Apr '21

06 Apr '21

Hello everyone, Our current meeting room policy does not allow outside groups to make sales on library property. We do have some exceptions for people participating in library programs (such as local authors can sell their books at our local authors event, or artists who sell art work during our participation in Art Hops). We have a community group that wants to use our meeting room to set up an artist to sell his work. They haven't asked for any other coordination or partnership with the library, just that they want to use our space for sales. Do any other libraries allow for this sort of thing? And if so, what does your policy look like? Kat Boyer Director Benton Harbor Public Library 213 E Wall St. Benton Harbor, MI 49022

Flexible Online Instruction Using Modular Learning Design Workshop - ALA Publishing
by Amanda Nichols Hess 05 Apr '21

05 Apr '21

Hi michlib colleagues, I wanted to let you know that I’ll be teaching a workshop on modular learning design for libraries this spring. In this two-part workshop, I’ll introduce the concept of modular learning, an approach to developing intentional, strategic online learning objects, and engages participants in applying these concepts in their own work. In the first session, we’ll address how modular design fits into information literacy and instructional design, and work together to identify what partnerships, stakeholder relationships, and existing content you can leverage in a modular design process. In the second session, we’ll identify how you can incorporate evaluation, assessment, accessibility, and usability into your projects, and how you can scale, transform, and plan for the future of your resources. This workshop takes place on Wednesdays, April 28 and May 5. You can register at the ALA Store <https://www.alastore.ala.org/content/flexible-online-instruction-using-modu…> (direct link: https://www.alastore.ala.org/content/flexible-online-instruction-using-modu…) Bulk and institutional pricing is available. If you’ve got any questions, you can contact me or the folks at ALA Publishing at elsmarketing(a)ala.org. Hope to see you there! Best, Amanda Nichols Hess, Ph.D. she / her Coordinator of Instruction & Research Help Liaison Librarian for the School of Education & Human Services Oakland University Libraries 248 Kresge Library 100 Library Drive, Rochester, MI 48309-4479 (248) 370.2487 | nichols(a)oakland.edu
