Hi All, Does anyone have language in their trustee bylaws that limit the number of terms a board member can serve? Would you share it with me? I notice there is no recommended number of terms in the Trustee manual. Thank you! -- Tracy Logan Library Director Cadillac Wexford Public Library 411 S.

Question about job descriptions
by Linda Lyshol 06 Jun '18

06 Jun '18

Hi all, does anyone have a good job description for a branch manager in a small town? Someone who usually only has a clerk to help? I would appreciate the information. Thanks! Linda Lyshol, MLIS, MPA Library Director, Branch District Library 10 E. Chicago St.,Coldwater MI 49036 http://www.BranchDistrictLibrary.org 517-278-2341, ext. 116 | 517-278-2342 (fax) “I’ve come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technology: 1) Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and just a natural part of the way the world works 2) Anything that’s invented when you’re between 15-35 yrs old is new and exciting and revolutionary—and you can probably get a career in it 3) Anything invented after you’re 35 yrs old is against the natural order of things” ~Douglas Adams, *The Salmon of Doubt*

Tech Questions on lending a Fire 8
by Dennis Hillers 06 Jun '18

06 Jun '18

Hello- I have some questions about starting a program to lend a few Fire 8's or Ipads with my very trustworthy patrons. The general Idea I have is that I should get 2-3 Fire 8's with Prime access to whatever Amazon is offering up that day to my Sisters, especially those who are vision impaired or are Seniors. I get a lot of feedback in my outreach time asking for information and books that I do not have, and a lot of audio media from Catholic vendors is starting to become rarer in CD's, which is still very much the preferred from of media around here. I think this would be a good idea on the surface, but I'm also interested in seeing how other libraries handle this other than the small purpose-built e-readers. So some information here would be welcome. Thanks! Dennis Hillers, MSLIS Librarian Adrian Dominican Sisters St. Catherine of Siena Library, Madden Hall 1257 Siena Heights Dr. Adrian, Michigan 49221 [cid:image001.png@01D2D589.EDADC570]

Deep Freeze Issues
by Pete Sneathen 06 Jun '18

06 Jun '18

We are evaluating Deep Freeze cloud version but are experiencing a wide range of issues, such as: * Black Screen after patron login (no longer happening after a recent deep freeze update, but we are concerned that this could happen again and all PACs would be unusable…especially since this was a known issue for some time and still exists as a known issue) * Desktop icons not staying in place * Maintenance window not consistently running (includes the software updater and the update of core deep freeze components) * Support/Development taking a lifetime to get us answers. Given our recent experience, I’m amazed that anyone has successfully and ‘consistently’ used Deep Freeze in a production environment, even though I know it is a commonly used solution in libraries and schools. So I’m wondering if anyone has recently experienced any of these issues and what steps you took to resolve them? Any help or insight is appreciated. Herrick District Library Pete Sneathen I.T.
