We all enjoy the feeling of being recognized by our peers for a job well done. This is your opportunity to take a few hours between now and January 12th to put together a nomination packet for one of four awards being given at RLC 2018 in Traverse City. Please consider who you know that meets the quality of excellence in the profession. Do you know someone at a small or rural library who is a leader in our profession? Do you have a Trustee or Friend who goes above and beyond the call of duty to promote and advance your library? Do you know a small or rural library that truly excels? We want to hear from you! It's time again to nominate libraries, staff, trustees, and friends of small and rural libraries for a Loleta Fyan Conference Award. Self-nominations are accepted for the Mendel award that goes to a library and it includes a cash prize! The conference will be held at the Grand Traverse Resort and Spa in Acme outside Traverse City April 30-May 2, 2018. Nominations are due by Friday, January 12, 2018 to norriss2(a)michigan.gov or by post to Sonya Schryer Norris, Library of Michigan, 702 W. Kalamazoo St., Lansing, MI 48909.

Mendel Award for Excellence in Rural Library Service (this award goes to a small/rural library) Please note that library cooperative staff and conference planning committee chairs are not eligible for conference awards. To qualify for the award the library must serve a population of 25,000 or less. Branch locations of larger libraries do not qualify for nomination. Nominations may come from a library director or staff, another library, a library user, a community business or organization, a library cooperative or a library may self-nominate for the June B. Mendel Award for Excellence in Rural Library Service.

Please Help Encourage Parent Feedback on the School Transparency Dashboard Survey
by Norris, Sonya (MDE) 31 Oct '17

31 Oct '17

Please help get this message from the Michigan Department of Education out to parents: Parents and other caregivers of children from preschool through grade 12 are invited to provide feedback on Michigan's new, online "transparency dashboard<http://www.michigan.gov/documents/mde/SBE_Policy_Statement_on_Transparency_…>" designed to show the performance of every public school in Michigan, including public school academies. The dashboard is currently under development by the Michigan Department of Education (MDE). It is expected to be made available to the public by early 2018. The new dashboard will report on more than 20 different factors-or measures-that parents and other stakeholders have said are important to them when evaluating the quality of a school. The survey allows participants to view components of the new dashboard, then answer questions about the way information is presented, the usefulness of certain features, and viewers' unique interests. The Michigan Department of Education will use survey feedback to help shape the current and future versions of the dashboard so that it is helpful to parents in every community. * Click the link below (or type the survey URL into your web browser) to access the online survey: www.surveymonkey.com/r/MDEESSA_Dashboard2017<http://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MDEESSA_Dashboard2017> * Survey details: * The survey can be completed on any computer, tablet, or mobile device. * The survey should take no more than 15 minutes to complete. * All answers will be confidential. * Survey must be completed by November 15, 2017.

Michigan Regional History Publications offer
by Robin Rank 31 Oct '17

31 Oct '17

Dear List Members, This offer came through another list. Perhaps a Michigan library would be interested in the Michigan publications offered by the Vermont Historical Society. Please contact Paul Carnahan - paul.carnahan(a)vermonthistory.org<mailto:paul.carnahan@vermonthistory.org> - if you are interested. This was first posted on October 6. These will be headed toward recycling if no one wants them. I will consider breaking up sets if someone needs just a few volumes from a run. The Vermont Historical Society is deaccessioning state historical society journals and regional historical journals from outside New England and New York. We have 21 titles to offer. Some of them are rather long. I would rather pass on a run or a large chunk than to send out individual issues. All have our library's marks of ownership on them. Here is the list: Michigan Historical Review, v.16 no.2 Fall 1990 -- v.29 no.2 Fall 2003 Michigan History Magazine, v.1 1917 -- v.61 no.4 Winter 1977 (bound -- v.28 1944) Michigan Pioneer and Historical Publications, v.1 1874-76 -- v.39 1915 (40 are bound) Let me know if you can give these a new home!
