TLN/Brodart BIBZ Statewide Collection Development Lists Pilot Project: Has Your Library Signed Up Yet?!:
by Jim Flury 19 Nov '24

19 Nov '24

Library cooperative directors, please feel free to share this email with your member libraries. Thank you. All, Has your library signed up for the TLN/Brodart BIBZ Statewide Collection Development Lists Pilot Project yet?! In collaboration with Brodart, TLN launched on October 1, 2024 the statewide, monthly, BIBZ collection development lists, pilot project. The three current lists, encompassing one of each of Adult Nonfiction, Juvenile/Tween Fiction and Nonfiction, Teen Fiction and Nonfiction, are available on the TLN website at this link: [ https://tln.org/page/bibz/ | https://tln.org/page/bibz/ ] In order to maximize your library's experience with the new monthly BIBZ collection development lists, we suggest you follow these steps: 1. Complete and submit to our MI Brodart consultant Kim Langenderfer the BIBZ profile form that each interested library received via an individual email from Kim. If you did not receive the BIBZ profile form, please let either Kim or myself know. Kim is cc'd on this email. 2. View the Brodart produced YouTube video at this link [ https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.youtube.com_watch-… | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3zmBD1lztM ] Brodart didn't give this video a name, but I think they would be okay with our calling it "MI Basics of BIBZ." Going forward, each library that has signed up for this pilot project will receive a monthly, bcc email from Corliss Jones at TLN, to let them know of the availability of the the new lists each month. As of today nearly 100 libraries statewide have signed up for the new collection development lists project. In fact, another library did so earlier today. And as I told that library in reply, it's not too late for your library to do so! To sign up you can use the Contact Us form at the [ https://tln.org/page/bibz/ | https://tln.org/page/bibz/ ] link, or email Kim or myself. If you have comments concerning the content of the collection development lists (they are great, they are less great, they need more this, they need less that, etc.) I welcome those as well. Here are direct links to each of the three lists. These links will stay the same from month to month. As above, Corliss at TLN will notify all subscribed libraries via bcc email as to when the new monthly lists are ready. [ https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.bibz2.com_ActItemD… | TLN Adult NF Selections ] [ https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.bibz2.com_ActItemD… | https://www.bibz2.com/ActItemDetailInit.do?list=13980601&campaign=TLN%20Adu… ] [ https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.bibz2.com_ActItemD… | TLN Juvenile/Tween Selections ] [ https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.bibz2.com_ActItemD… | https://www.bibz2.com/ActItemDetailInit.do?list=13980603&campaign=TLN%20Juv… ] [ https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.bibz2.com_ActItemD… | TLN Teen Selections ] [ https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.bibz2.com_ActItemD… | https://www.bibz2.com/ActItemDetailInit.do?list=13980607&campaign=TLN%20Tee… ] We hope MI libraries will find value in this new TLN/Brodart BIBZ statewide collection development lists pilot project. Please let me know if you have any comments or questions concerning this. Thanks.

Archival Workshops
by director＠pidl.org 18 Nov '24

18 Nov '24

Way back when, there were some great workshops from Michigan Museum Association and Michigan Historical Society for beginners in archival work. I have some history majors who would be great in those classes and dip their toes into the archival side of librarianship. Would there by chance be any interest in having some classes like this again? In-person, preferably. Amber Alexander Library Director - MLIS Presque Isle District Library 181 E.
