Identifying Michigan Online Newspapers
by Whitledge, Bryan R 05 May '21

05 May '21

Help Us Find Online Newspaper Resources The Clarke Historical Library is seeking your help in identifying online Michigan newspapers that can be included in the Digital Michigan Newspaper Portal, https://www.cmich.edu/library/clarke/Pages/Michigan-Digital-Newspaper-Porta… The portal was originally created as a "one stop" location to find online historical newspapers printed in the state of Michigan. Our current project seeks both to identify historic Michigan newspapers that are online but not included in the portal, and contemporary online newspapers originating in Michigan. If you know of an online paper that should be included in the portal, please share the link to that paper by contacting us at eno1cj(a)cmich.edu<mailto:eno1cj@cmich.edu> The Digital Michigan Newspaper Portal exists is to make users aware of online newspaper resources and take a user to the "front door" of the digital newspaper resource. We include all online Michigan papers, regardless of the terms of access. We do note, however, whether a particular newspaper is free to use or if there is payment required to pass through the newspaper's door. Many contemporary papers use a hybrid model, allowing some free access, but then imposing a fee for further use of the website. The portal we maintain offers the link to a paper's "front door." The Digital Michigan Newspaper Portal does review the functionality of the website nor verify its content. By including both historical and contemporary online newspaper sources, we hope to diminish an artificial line found in many library resources that has been drawn between "old" and "new" online newspaper resources. Simply put, online newspapers are online newspapers, whether they report the news from yesterday or from a yesterday of a century past. The only issue is what information the user is seeking, whether from 2021 or 1921. This project is made possible by a regrant of funds given to the Library of Michigan through a Library Services and Technology Act grant made to the Library of Michigan by the Institute of Museum and Library Services. For more information about this project, please contact Frank Boles at boles1fj(a)cmich.edu<mailto:boles1fj@cmich.edu> or by calling the Clarke Historical Library at (989) 774-3352.

The Teen Video Challenge, sponsored by the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP), is an annual national video contest open to all teens (librarian and teacher support is encouraged). The challenge is for teens to create a public service announcement-type video that shows their unique interpretation of the 2021 CSLP slogan "Tails and Tales." Videos are to be no longer than 60 seconds and should promote libraries and reading. https://www.cslpreads.org/programs/teen-program/2021-teen-video-challenge/<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cslpr…> Videos will be accepted June 1 through August 6, 2021. * The contest is open to teens 13-18 (though it's fine for people older or younger to appear in the videos). * The process is simple; teens just need to upload their video to the social media outlet of their choice, submit a link to their video, and complete a simple online form. * Videos will be limited to 60 seconds, making this a doable project for individuals or small teams. * Teens/teen teams may submit more than one video. * The program will accept submissions June 1-Aug 6, 2021, so that it can be incorporated into your summer program (it's still a great opportunity to partner with schools with video production classes or clubs; students can produce the videos as a class project and submit them in June!) * Permission and model release forms will only be required from the winning entries (completing the forms is a requirement to receive prizes and acknowledgement). * There will be 5 national winners, who will each receive a cash prize of $200. The TVC Ad-Hoc Committee will convene a judging panel from CSLP partners and members in August.

We have missed you all and we wanted to offer an opportunity for us to gather and learn from our peers about innovative ways to fundraise for our libraries. COVID-19 caused many of us to have dramatic decreases in our fundraising efforts over the course of 2020 but it also provided an opportunity for most Friends and Foundation groups to pivot and completely revisit their fundraising and development strategies. Join us for this virtual mini-con to hear about some of these strategies and programs. It is our hope that you will be inspired to replicate an idea or two from our mini-con and build those budgets back up. And the mini-conference is free! As an added bonus, New York Times Best-Selling author of "The Paris Library" Janet Skelsien Charles will be joining us live all the way from Paris, France! Below is the link to register. We will be using Zoom for this event. Space is limited, register today!

Metroparks Press Release For MAP
by Jim Flury 05 May '21

05 May '21

Good Morning, Yesterday new Michigan Activity Pass partner Metroparks [ https://www.metroparks.com/ | https://www.metroparks.com/ ] issued a press release to announce our MAP partnership. Please see attached. At least one news outlet has already picked it up. Hopefully there will be others: [ https://www.thenewsherald.com/downriver_life/huron-clinton-metroparks-joins… | https://www.thenewsherald.com/downriver_life/huron-clinton-metroparks-joins… ] Please feel free to share the attached press release on your social media pages, as well as with your local news contacts. Granted the inclusion of Metroparks in MAP is likely to generate more excitement and interest in the metro Detroit area, than elsewhere. But the press release brings attention to MAP as a whole, and it isn't often MAP gets an opportunity to take advantage of a widely distributed press release. Hence my rationale for sharing it with the statewide MAP community. Thank you for your support and promotion of the Michigan Activity Pass program. Sincerely, Jim Flury Jim Flury Technical Services Manager The Library Network 41365 Vincenti Court Novi, MI 48375 248-536-3100, ext 133 Fax 248-536-3098 jflury(a)tln.lib.mi.us
