Mental Health First Aid Training July 20 - Open to multiple registrants from same library
by White, Shannon (MDE) 28 May '21

28 May '21

Mental Health First Aid Adults Training for Library Staff July 20 The Library of Michigan is offering a Mental Health First Aid for Adults session open to staff from any library type on July 20, 2021. This is our fourth offering of the Mental Health First Aid classes taught by MSU Extension staff. There is no limit on the number of staff per library. Like CPR, Mental Health First Aid prepares participants to interact with a person in crisis and connect the person with help. First Aiders do not take on the role of professionals they do not diagnose or provide any counseling or therapy. Instead, the program offers concrete tools and answers key questions, like what do I do? and where can someone find help? Certified Mental Health First Aid instructors provide a list of community healthcare providers and national resources, support groups, and online tools for mental health and addictions treatment and support. All trainees receive a program manual to compliment the course material. The Mental Health First Aid training includes a 2-hour self-paced course, followed by a 5.5 hour instructor led training. Participants who do not complete the self-paced portion or attend the full instructor led day will not be eligible to receive a certificate of completion. Because seating is limited and a specialized certification is issued, you will need to agree to a number of stipulations and complete the MSU Extension registration here. Please review the details on the registration site before completing your registration. Participants who do not complete the self-paced portion, attend the full instructor led day, or do not complete the post-work and evaluation will not be eligible to receive a certificate of completion. Cancellations must be received at least three business days prior to the class. Participants who register for a training and fail to cancel at least three business days prior and no-show will be charged a $50 cancellation fee. Register here: https://events.anr.msu.edu/MHFA_LibrariansJuly/<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fevents.an…> (If you have any trouble with this link, please let me know.) This program is supported in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services. If you have any questions send me a note or feel free to call. sdw Shannon White Library Development Manager Library of Michigan, 702 W.

NMU library web designer - AI fellowship
by Leslie Warren 27 May '21

27 May '21

Please indulge me while I brag about our web designer, Ismail Msuya. I'm very proud! Msuya Awarded AI Institute Fellowship <https://news.nmu.edu/msuya-awarded-ai-institute-fellowship> (May 21, 2021) Ismail Msuya, web designer/developer for Northern Michigan University's Lydia M. Olson Library, has been awarded an Institute of Museum and Library Services fellowship to attend the 2021 IDEA Institute on Artificial Intelligence (AI). An aim of the institute is to spark future innovation, collaboration and dissemination of AI in library and information environments. The institute is a week-long, evidence-based and applications-oriented professional development program for professionals in the field. [image: image.png] “AI has predominantly become a part of our daily lives,” said Msuya. “The adoption of AI in libraries and information environments will open the door to transformative opportunities for increasing library usage and enhancing the overall user experiences. A prime example of such opportunities includes the implementation of AI and visual sensors to translate sign language into text or speech at the circulation and reference desks.” Msuya also noted that some public libraries have implemented the Pepper robot, the world's first social humanoid robot. The Pepper is able to recognize faces and basic human emotions, to assist with library services, such as locating books and periodicals and responding to questions, including research questions. “Learning about and integrating AI seems like the perfect next step for me to combine my experiences and knowledge in design thinking, usability and accessibility. The implementation of AI will enhance my future daily problem-solving strategies in my workplace. I can visualize precisely how AI will work collectively with our current advancements to successfully impact the direction we want to take with our library.” Msuya will spend one week in July 2021 at the Institute in Knoxville, Tenn., pending COVID-19 circumstances. The fellowship covers a maximum amount of $500 for the program fee, lodging, per diem or program meals and transportation to Knoxville. Msuya will also participate in an online pre-institute onboarding program and post-institute activities, like project presentations and implementation. The acronym IDEA stands for Innovation, Disruption, Enquiry and Access. The IDEA Institute on AI is funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services. More information about the program is available on the institute website. Msuya has been an NMU employee for four years. His work responsibilities range from providing technical support for virtual reality and the Digital Media Tutoring Center to addressing website needs for the Library and Instructional Support (LIS) division. “I have worked on revamping the library website, the implementation of virtual reality in the library and the implementation of the pandemic documentation website. Currently, I am working on revamping our Space Reservation System to enhance the overall user experience and integrate with other campus systems such as The Hub, the new campus community platform.” I'm looking forward to the good things this program will bring to libraries.
