The techie has left the building: Now what do I do?
by Pam Seabolt 08 Apr '19

08 Apr '19

We have one spot left for an added session of “The Techie has left the building: Now what do I do?” being held on April 18 from 9:30 am-3:30 pm at the MCLS offices in Lansing, MI. For more information or to register, please click here<https://store.mcls.org/index.php/the-techie-has-left-the-building-now-what-…>. The Techie has left the building: Now what do I do? Have you ever felt anxious when someone walks in needing help with their device, but the person who normally helps has just left? Fear not! Midwest Collaborative for Library Services (MCLS) is presenting two interactive, in-person workshops that will give you the skills and confidence you need to identify PC components, use various devices, and know where to begin looking when you’re not sure what to do. During the workshop you will have the opportunity for hands-on practice with PC hardware and peripherals, to explore technology competencies, and to add to your toolbox of technology resources. For questions, please contact Pam Seabolt at seaboltp(a)mcls.org<mailto:seaboltp@mcls.org> or (800) 530-9019 ext 123.

Vidcode: Discounted TLN Pricing
by Jim Flury 08 Apr '19

08 Apr '19

Good Morning, TLN has arranged discounted pricing for Vidcode [ https://about.vidcode.com/libraries | https://about.vidcode.com/libraries ] Vidcode is a simultaneous use, remote or in library, service. Several TLN member libraries took a test drive of Vidcode last year. At the time Vidcode did not have in place a realistic pricing model for public libraries. I told this vendor that if/when they were ready to talk about discounted pricing for Michigan libraries, I would consider working with them on a statewide level. They have a handful of public library customers in the United States. Their core audience at this time is the public school market. Please review the Vidcode service and if you would like a price quote for your library, let me know. Thanks.

library tables available
by Linda Stone 05 Apr '19

05 Apr '19

Sorry, it's Friday afternoon and it's been a long week. I'll try again. I have two 60" by 34" tables available to a good home. (Picture attached). They are a little worn but very stable and heavy. The only deal is you have to come pick them up and it will take at least two strong people to get them from the library into your truck. They are free. First come, first served. Happy weekend, Linda Stone Head of the Upper School Library Cranbrook Kingswood School 39221 Woodward Avenue Bloomfield Hills, MI 48304 248-645-3455
