Result: searching for a movie
by North Adams Library 11 Sep '19

11 Sep '19

Hello. First, thank you to everyone who suggested a title for the movie our patron was trying to find. Most suggested Groundhog Day. Our patron returned it yesterday and said that was not the movie he was remembering. To me, it sounded like it was going to be the correct one, but patron says it is not. Patron will need to come up with some more clues as we are out of ideas. Phyllis ------ Phyllis Rickard Director North Adams Community Memorial Library (zv245) 110 E.

Library-specific E-Rate training November 4 from 10-2
by Norris, Sonya (MDE) 09 Sep '19

09 Sep '19

Greetings Michigan Library Community, It's been several years since Michigan has hosted a library-specific E-Rate workshop and a lot has changed. This half-day event will first cover E-Rate filing fundamentals for library directors and IT staff who are approaching it for the first time, or taking a second look at it. The next portion of the day will cover both the Michigan and national landscape for libraries so you can see yourself in a more holistic picture. Next, Marie Zuk, librarian-turned-E-Rate-consultant, will provide a peek into the consultant's perspective with tips for your own relationship with professional E-Rate services. And Matt Stark, director the MiSEN, will talk about the dramatic changes coming to Michigan. The MiSEN is a fiber backbone that provides fantastic speeds for a mere $.50/mb. What makes it even better is that libraries can sign a Letter of Agency with ISD/LEA to join local consortium applications where MISEN will process the E-Rate paperwork. Far less hands-on time for the library! We'll wrap up the day with a library success story. Helena Hayes, director of the Galesburg-Charleston Memorial District Library, recently won a state matching grant to build fiber and will soon join their local ISD's network. Hear from this library taking advantage of the MiSEN opportunity about what's actually involved. Monday, November 4: 10 am - 2 pm.
