by Pam Seabolt 25 Feb '19

25 Feb '19

Apologies for cross posting. Tackling Data in Libraries: Opportunities and Challenges in Serving User Communities Submit proposals at www.iolug.org<http://www.iolug.org/> Deadline is Friday, March 8, 2019 Submissions are invited for the IOLUG Spring 2019 Conference, to be held May 10th in Indianapolis, IN. Submissions are welcomed from all types of libraries and on topics related to the theme of data in libraries. [http://www.iolug.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/IOLUG-logo.png]<www.iolug.org> Libraries and librarians work with data every day, with a variety of applications - circulation, gate counts, reference questions, and so on. The mass collection of user data has made headlines many times in the past few years. Analytics and privacy have, understandably, become important issues both globally and locally. In addition to being aware of the data ecosystem in which we work, libraries can play a pivotal role in educating user communities about data and all of its implications, both favorable and unfavorable. The Conference Planning Committee is seeking proposals on topics related to data in libraries, including but not limited to: * Using tools/resources to find and leverage data to solve problems and expand knowledge, * Data policies and procedures, * Harvesting, organizing, and presenting data, * Data-driven decision making, * Learning analytics, * Metadata/linked data, * Data in collection development, * Using data to measure outcomes, not just uses, * Using data to better reach and serve your communities, * Libraries as data collectors, * Big data in libraries, * Privacy, * Social justice/Community Engagement, * Algorithms, * Storytelling, and * Libraries as positive stewards of user data. The Conference Planning Committee encourages presentations that are practical, hands-on, and include take-awayable tools, techniques, and/or strategies that librarians, library staff, and information professionals can implement to improve their resources and services for patrons, students, faculty, etc. We are especially interested in hearing from presenters who would like to lead a longer workshop around the conference theme. Workshops could cover multiple session times and have use of the on-site computer lab, if desired. Presentations will be reviewed and selected by the Conference Planning Committee. IOLUG is a non-profit organization that provides opportunities for individuals to share and learn about current trends in libraries and technology to inspire innovation. IOLUG strives to: * Foster an environment for individuals to network and grow professionally in the area of Librarianship, * Provide opportunities for members to share current technology trends in libraries, and * Provide continuing education opportunities on current technologies that impact libraries.

Donation Button Compilation
by Sharon Crotser-Toy 22 Feb '19

22 Feb '19

Good Friday afternoon! At long last I've finally accomplished my goal, to add a "donate" button to our website. Many thanks to all of you who sent me your suggestions. They were very much appreciated! If I'd known it was this easy I wouldn't have put it off for a month! The compiled responses are below: Greetings, one and all! Adding a donate button to our website has been on my "to do" list for a very long time. Preliminary research looks quite daunting. If you've added that option to your website, either with- or without Paypal, I'd love to hear more about the process. What's been your experience with it, also? Has it proven to be helpful? Thanks so much for any time you can spare. ----------------------------------------------------- We do have a paypal donate button the site. Getting it up onto the site wasn't a problem, and I will say the paypal was set up before I got here. But I do have some experience with paypal and it isn't too bad. We do have two recurring payments each month that bring in about $10.00 a month. Not huge, but at least it is something. ------------------------------------------------------ Sharon, There is a short video with instructions on the PayPal website. You can get cut and paste code to insert on your site by following the directions below the video, here. <https://www.paypal.com/us/smarthelp/article/how-do-i-add-a-paypal-payment-b…> I hope that helps. ----------------------------------------------------- Hi Sharon, I did this for our website a couple months ago using PayPal. It was actually quite simple. You create a business account, and they basically walk you through steps to create a donate button, where you can copy the code you need for your website (we use Wordpress for our site and it was easily compatible). It's very user friendly, and when I did have an issue-- which turned out to be an extra space in the embed code-- I was able to call them and they walked me through the resolution. However, I can tell you that for us, we haven't got much traction with it-- just one donation so far. However, that is definitely a byproduct of our particular community and it might work well in yours. It doesn't cost anything to set up, and PayPal takes like 2% off the top of all donations for using their button. It's not bad. That's about all the information I have, but the way I learned was simply to do some Googling then just go for it! ------------------------------------------------------------------ I'm not sure if it's exactly what you're looking for, but Troy Public Library has an online donation system for their endowment fund. It might be worth contacting them to see if they can give you any pointers. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Sharon, I did on our web page this last fall. We use Square, so most of the "creating" was done there. It generated a link for me to use. I just found a "Donate" button that I liked, put it on the page and pasted in the link that Square had generated for me. So far, no one has used the link to donate any money. :( But I'm hopeful! Thanks again, everyone! -Sharon -- Sharon Crotser-Toy Director *Watervliet District Library* 333 N. Main Street Watervliet, MI 49098 269-463-6382 Connects People, Inspires Ideas, Transforms Lives
