Two questions...
by Gail Nartker 15 Jul '19

15 Jul '19

Hello all - Would anyone share how they are accepting credit / debit cards at their libraries? We have looked at Square but it seems that you have to add an individual's SS# along with the business tax ID#. Any comments would be appreciated. Also, are any libraries using software that allows them to upload photo albums for patrons to look at? We have experience with uploading albums on Facebook but we have created a new website on Squarespace and I am not satisfied with the photo display included. Again, any comments would be appreciated.

Did you know that the Library of Michigan and the Institute of Museum and library Services (IMLS) provides access to WebJunction free of charge to Michigan library staff? See below for information on upcoming online courses and webinars. Highlighted Content on WebJunction * Updated Course! Weeding the Library Collection<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.webju…>: Mention collection development and most librarians think of the selection of new materials for the library. Weeding - removing library materials from your collection - is an often forgotten, yet integral part of collection development. In this updated course you will first discover why that is true, and then learn the techniques of weeding, develop policies and avoid common pitfalls. * Always Be Listening: How Public Libraries are Approaching Community Engagement as a Mindset<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.webju…>, at the recent ALA Annual conference, the panel discussion, “Community Engagement as a Mindset” featured Pam Sandlian Smith, Director, Anythink Libraries (CO); Mary Lou Carolan, Assistant Director, Newburgh Free Library (NY); and Cordelia Anderson, former Director of Marketing and Communications for Charlotte Mecklenburg Library (NC). The panelist shared their thoughts on community engagement, collaborating with partners, and sharing the value of your library. Free WebJunction Webinars for You In addition to the webinars highlighted in the Hooray for Freedom series above, the following upcoming webinars are open for registration. If you can’t attend a live session, all WebJunction webinars are recorded and available for free in the Course Catalog: https://learn.webjunction.org/<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flearn.web…>.

Over 50% of physicians, and 94% of medical students use Wikipedia to find medical information on the internet.* It may be popular but library staff want to know how reliable it is and how to assess quality on behalf of their patrons. The National Network of Librarians of Medicine (NNLM) supports strengthening the ability of public libraries nationwide to find reliable and authoritative medical and health information online for information seekers. Hear how Liz Waltman from the NNLM connects with WikiProject Medicine, an organization of volunteers dedicated to developing, maintaining, and promoting accurate medical information on Wikipedia. Learn about the upcoming online training program Wikipedia + Libraries: Health and Medical Information that will empower you to confidently guide your patrons to reliable resources on the internet. The free four-week course will be offered in the fall of 2019.

A robust technology plan can help you create an environment that truly meets the needs of the community your library serves. The prospect of technology planning can seem overwhelming and time-consuming, especially in an already short-staffed library. This webinar will help libraries create a framework for their technology planning and introduce the tools and decisions that need to be incorporated into a working plan. Join us to learn how to successfully develop and implement a practical technology plan that can help move your library and community forward.
