Hello Library Colleagues! Yesterday, the Novi Library hosted 4 authors. The event was a huge success with 150 guests in attendance for a luncheon. If you want information about any of these writers, don’t hesitate to contact me. All were professional, engaging and of interest to our listeners. The each provided a 20 minute talk, then selling & signing of their books. I know they could have talked longer had they been on their own. Thank you, Julie

Best practices guidelines for Michlib-l
by Norris, Sonya (MDE) 02 Oct '18

02 Oct '18

Greetings Michigan Library Community, This is a quarterly 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 702 W. Kalamazoo St. Lansing, MI 48909 517-373-4457 AS OF OCT 16, 2018, MY NUMBER WILL CHANGE TO 517-335-1498 https://michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan http://mel.org<http://mel.org/> http://michlibrary.org<http://michlibrary.org/>
