Michigan tax booklets, Janet Evanovich & Hero certificates
by Laura Orlowski 03 Mar '17

03 Mar '17

Hi all; We have 50 extra Michgan tax booklets to send on to someone. Let me know if you can use some or all. We have a spare copy of Turbo Twenty-Three by Janet Evanovich (Hardcover, no library markings) - love to see it go to a new home instead of our book sale. We also have 5 unopened packages of "Every Hero Has a Story" reading certificates and 1 unopened package of "Every Hero Has a Story" reading logs - if anyone can use them, we will gladly send them your way. Thanks, -Laura Orlowski, director Camden Twp. Library ZV051 camden(a)monroe.lib.mi <camden(a)monroe.lib.mi.us>

Hi all, I am interested in reading Public Library Quarterly. Unfortunately, it seems to be owned by Taylor & Francis, who charge an exorbitant fee. Does anyone have a work-around for this problem?

Patron Record Management
by Julia Hawkins 03 Mar '17

03 Mar '17

Hello, My library is looking to find a new way of storing our patron records. We are a fairly large library system with about 200,000 patrons active in the ILS. If your library system is of comparable size, could you tell me how you store paper registrations for the purpose of keeping the patron signature on file? Do you use any sort of database software? How do you tag the scanned records? What kind of digital storage do you use - server- or cloud-based? Thank you! Julia Hawkins Patron Services Associate Kent District Library 814 West River Center Dr. NE * Comstock Park, MI 49321 616-784-2016, ext. 2324 * jhawkins(a)kdl.org<mailto:jhawkins@kdl.org>

Computer Notices to Patrons
by Jessica Bostian 02 Mar '17

02 Mar '17

Hello libraries of Michigan! I was wondering if any other libraries placed printed notices on their public computer terminals in addition to an agreement page when users log in to public computers? Something concerning copyright laws, file-sharing, etc. If so, would anyone be willing to share their examples with me? I appreciate your time and assistance. Have a great day! -- Jessica Bostian Ruth Hughes Memorial District Library 211 N. Almont Avenue Imlay City, MI 48444 810-724-8043
