NYTimes Online - how are you handling the change in terms of service?
by Kelli Perkins 27 Apr '20

27 Apr '20

We are wondering how libraries who subscribe to New York Times Online are handling the new terms of service they have just handed down and requiring libraries to sign before renewing. >From what we read, we will be required to ensure that patrons accessing it are: age 18 or over or age 13-17 with parent/guardian permission. We must restrict patrons under 13 and we must obtain parental permission for those under 18. The only thing we could possibly do is upgrade our proxy service and limit the service to age 18 and up. Getting parental permissions does not seem like an option to me. There is significant expense involved to upgrade our proxy. Did everyone receive this notification and what are your plans for this service? We get a few hundred session uses each month and I hate to have to scrap it. It's very popular and great content. Tia.

Executive Order 2020-59
by Debbie Mikula 27 Apr '20

27 Apr '20

On Friday, Governor Whitmer released executive order 2020-59 which continues to state that all individuals are ordered to stay home unless considered essential, and that all activities are suspended if they do not sustain or protect life until May 15<outlook-data-detector://4>th<outlook-data-detector://4>.<outlook-data-detector://4> The Michigan Library Association (MLA) urges our library members to remain patient, continue your online services, and to begin preparation of your reopening plans to serve your patrons in the future. In consultation with our partners and attorney, MLA has done an extensive review of the new “Stay Home, Stay Safe” order. At this time, we have concluded that libraries are NOT allowed to do curbside service. Section 6 of the Executive Order 2020-59 states that “All in-person government activities at whatever level (state, county, or local) that are not necessary to sustain or protect life, or to support those businesses and operations that are maintaining in-person activities under this order, are suspended.” We recognize that many of you are looking at section 10(a) which refers to “Workers who process or fulfill remote orders for goods for delivery or curbside pick-up” but we strongly believe that curbside/drop-off services at libraries is not allowed. If this recommendation changes based on any information we receive from the Governor’s office, we will inform you immediately. Be well, be safe. Debbie Deborah E.
