Best Practices Guidelines for Michlib-l
by Norris, Sonya (MDE) 05 Jun '19

05 Jun '19

Greetings Michigan Library Community, This is a best practices update for posting to Michlib-l. We welcome your participation on Michlib-l. There are a few guidelines that help improve the experience for everyone: 1. If you ask for group input on a topic, offer to collect the responses and then re-post them to the list so everyone can benefit. Be sure to embed those responses in the body of your message. 2. Please keep in mind when composing your messages that attachments are removed from posts for digest subscribers and in the archives. For maximum reach, embed the text you wish readers to see in the body of your message. If an attachment is especially important for its images, formatting or other reasons, upload it to your website and then link to it in your message to Michlib-l. 3. Do not post replies that are meant for one person to the entire list. You can accomplish this by using the "Reply" feature and not "Reply All." And, of course, a little patience goes a long way. We've all accidentally posted something to a list that was only meant for one person so gentleness with each other is helpful as well. Have a fabulous day in Library Land, Sonya Sonya Schryer Norris Library Consultant Library of Michigan Michigan Department of Education 517-335-1498 Norriss2(a)michigan.gov<mailto:Norriss2@michigan.gov> https://michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan https://mel.org http://michlibrary.org<http://michlibrary.org/>

Re: [Michlib-l] Reference Practices
by King, Barb 05 Jun '19

05 Jun '19

The reference librarians at the St. Clair County Library in Port Huron have been asked to develop a new reference practice plan for our library system. How is reference service delivered in your library system? We are interested in such things as staffing, hours , and physical location of public service desks. At this time the reference librarians here are all located in the basement of the library and are on call. Do you have professional librarians doing reference? How many hours per week? Is there a separate reference desk or a combined public service station? How is reference service delivered at your branch libraries as opposed to service at the main library? Thank you so much for your time and consideration. Yours truly, Barbara King Reference Services Senior Librarian St. Clair County Library Port Huron MI 48060 (810) 987-7323 ext. 2520

Trying to Recall a Title
by Jim Moir 04 Jun '19

04 Jun '19

Hello Friends, I once used a book for story time that featured three animals going to Florida for the winter. They drive there, and look at funny billboards on the way. Pancakes are eaten quite often. I can't come up with the right words for the catalog. I thank you in advance if you can provide author/title. Regards, Jim Moir
