MeL Minute: Name the new MeL Badge coming in 2021
by Norris, Sonya (MDE) 19 Nov '20

19 Nov '20

[white M on a tri-colored background]Coming in 2021, we're launching a new MeL Expert Badge! We've fully embraced "just-in-time, what's in it for me" microlearning modules for adults. We're delivering knowledge of how to use the eResources in everyday language, with real-life examples. We'll be showcasing the top MeL eResources in ways that allow Michigan staff to take away concrete knowledge of how to use MeL. Learners will be able to dip in and out of these modules as they like, take them in any order, at their own pace, and when they complete the series they will earn a badge. This is where you come in. What should we call the badge? The winner will receive a $25 gift card. Please submit your idea to MeL staff<https://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/6009724/MeL-Badge-Competition>! #IMLSGrant Sonya Schryer Norris Library Consultant Library of Michigan Michigan Department of Education 517-335-1498 https://michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan https://mel.org<https://mel.org/> http://michlibrary.org<http://michlibrary.org/> [cid:image003.png@01D6BE80.9D7218C0]

Open Source ILS That Runs Windows?
by Steven Assarian 19 Nov '20

19 Nov '20

Hello Everyone, I have a community in Detroit that's trying to implement an open ILS system. However, the person working with it isn't terribly experienced in Linux, so he was wondering if there was an open-source ILS that used a Windows server. I didn't know of one that did, but I thought I would see if anyone in the state knew of one, and could recommend one. Thanks for your time, Steve Steven Assarian he/him/his (https://www.mypronouns.org/) Business and Career Librarian Grand Rapids Public Library Main Library | 111 Library St NE | 49503 616-988-5486 (tel:16169885486) | www.grpl.org (https://www.grpl.org)

Join us this morning at 10am for the MLA Connect Coffee Hour: Building a Michigan Library Ecosystem
by Rachel Ash 18 Nov '20

18 Nov '20

Plan to grab a mug of your favorite beverage and join the MLA Connect Coffee Hour: Building a Michigan Library Ecosystem, this morning at 10:00am! A library ecosystem is the interconnected network of all types of libraries, library workers, volunteers, and associations that provide and facilitate library services for community members; families; K-20 learners; college and university communities; local, state and federal legislatures and government offices; businesses; nonprofits; and other organizations with specific information needs. A patron of one library is the potential patron of any other library at a different time of life or location. No library exists independent of the library ecosystem. When we stand together in mutual support using common messaging themes that demonstrate this interconnectedness, every library is stronger. ALA's Statewide Ecosystem Task Force has spent the last year working together to create a toolkit for state associations and their partners to help states strengthen relationships among all types of libraries and their leadership and professional organizations for the purpose of strengthening advocacy to a variety of audiences. Hear from task force member, Steven Bowers, Director, The Library Network, about strengthening the library ecosystem and learn about ALA's new toolkit created to help states strengthen relationships among all types of libraries. Fill out this short form to register: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUrfuyvqz8pEtRSMor-QQO2rGipdv3-DM… This event is free to attend and open to anyone interested in joining the conversation!
