Call numbers & labeling for music CDs
by Don Priest 31 Mar '21

31 Mar '21

I'd like to pick some brains on managing our music CD collection. We've got thousands of them, and they're only broken up by genre and artist/band first letter (example: Metallica is under Rock/Pop M, as is Megadeth, John Mellencamp, etc). They're labelled the same, and only on the front of the CD case, so the collection is a pain to search through. The call number isn't necessarily a problem, I just need to figure out how to label everything in a way that makes our music more accessible. So, what I'd like to know is 1. What labels do you place on your music CDs that make them easy to find? 2. Do those labels exactly match the call number? (I'm considering abbreviating labels to keep them short and uniform, but I'd like to retain the descriptiveness of call numbers). I appreciate any and all ideas and suggestions, and, if there's interest, I'll share the compiled answers. Donald Priest Director Southgate Veterans Memorial Library 14680 Dix-Toledo Rd.

Webinar: What Could Schools and Libraries Do With $7B? March 31 at 1pm ET from SHLB.org
by White, Shannon (MDE) 30 Mar '21

30 Mar '21

In a groundbreaking move, Congress is providing $7 billion in new funding to help schools and libraries support remote learning by extending their broadband connections off-campus. The opportunity formally opens a new door to exciting possibilities for how schools and libraries serve their communities. As these anchors prepare their applications for this funding, what can they learn from those that have already traveled this road? On our next webinar, SHLB will explore "to and through" case studies that schools and libraries can model to close the digital divide for their students and patrons. Join SHLB on March 31, 1:00 - 2:00 p.m. ET Register to attend live webinar or receive the recording via email here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/8916170307538/WN_x50EpnX9Tiak0jo51… Schools, Health and Libraries Broadband Coalition, SHLB, https://www.shlb.org/ Shannon White Library of Michigan, 702 W.
