16mm projector
by Melissa Malcolm 30 Mar '17

30 Mar '17

Hi all-- A local teacher is looking for a projector so he can view some old 16mm film he found. He's called around and hasn't found anything locally so I offered to ask more widely. Does ANYone still have one of these things? Ideally he'd like to borrow it but I'm sure he'd comply with any conditions just to look at the film. Thank you! melissa -- Melissa A.

MeL Minute: Best Practices for Linking to MeL Resources
by Norris, Sonya (MDE) 30 Mar '17

30 Mar '17

Community members, library patrons, and staff naturally gravitate to your library's website to search your catalog, read about programs and find out about the latest books and media. The Michigan eLibrary would like to capitalize on the loyal following you have developed by encouraging all Michigan libraries to include current links to MeL.org and its various components on your site. Recently, a quick survey of public libraries found that libraries' linkage to MeL runs the gamut from none at all, to full identification of MeL, MeLCat, MeL eResources, Michigana, Help, and About on the library's site. We hope that you can integrate some if not all of the MeL.org elements on your library's website. We thank you and are sure your patrons will too. Here are a few suggestions: * When linking to specific MeL.org eResources (databases), feel free to use the icon found in the alphabetic list of databases. These are custom designed for MeL and are freely available for you to right click with your mouse and save to your computer to use on your own site. * Remember to use the Geo-Ip address url for the eResource. These are found by clicking on "More" in the resource description. Using any other url will prevent your users from freely and directly accessing MeL eResources. * Although our selection of eResources hasn't changed in the past year, make sure you are linking to what is currently available through the MeL subscriptions. The alphabetic list found under Databases<http://mel.org/databases> on MeL.org is accurate. * If you link to the MeLCat catalog (new or classic version) label it as MeLCat, not MeL MeL Minutes are brought to you by the Library of Michigan. Want more information on MeL? Stay tuned for the next MeL Minute available on many Michigan library listservs, email us at contact(a)mel.org<mailto:contact@mel.org>, visit http://mel.org<http://mel.org/>, or Sign up for the MeL Minute and other Library of Michigan e-mail lists via GovDelivery<https://public.govdelivery.com/accounts/MILOM/subscriber/new>. We encourage you to share MeL Minutes with your colleagues and networks. Sonya Schryer Norris Library of Michigan 702 W.

Congratulations to our newest QSAC Enhanced Library!
by Atkin, Evette (MDE) 30 Mar '17

30 Mar '17

Greetings! The Library of Michigan congratulates the following newly certified QSAC library. The following has received certification or renewed their status in the past quarter. Enhanced Level Canton Public Library, Eva Davis, Director (https://www.cantonpl.org/) If you would like to learn more about the Library of Michigan's Quality Services Audit Checklist, QSAC, program, visit www.michigan.gov/qsac<http://www.michigan.gov/qsac> where you can find information on how to submit a QSAC application as well as other resources to help your library achieve the measures outlined in each level of service. QSAC measures AND certifications are on a three-year update and renewal schedule to ensure the measures and libraries stay on top of quality service. The Library of Michigan works with volunteer librarians every three years to revise the measures based on participating libraries' experiences and new trends in library services, programs and technology. It is our goal that QSAC measures will continue to provide direction and support for libraries as they look to both improve their services and justify their services to funders. If you have any questions regarding QSAC, please do not hesitate to contact me! Evette Atkin Evette M. Atkin Continuing Education Coordinator Library of Michigan atkine(a)michigan.gov<mailto:atkine@michigan.gov> 517.373.3746 [cid:image001.png@01D169A3.73327F50] Take time this month to check out the Essential Instructional Practices in Early Literacy<http://www.gomaisa.org/sites/default/files/K-3%20Literacy%20Essentials%203.…>

ALA Action Alert
by Steven Bowers 30 Mar '17

30 Mar '17

[http://files.constantcontact.com/fe18cca2101/453ecd65-7ee0-4443-84bb-d34e12…]<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001pUES3JIdEZUQU36kTrwlPyzsJ7l7Hm047Ge175l8BSRX…> Call to Action March 30, 2017 Good morning Michigan Libraries, At least $210 million in federal library funding is on the budget-cutter's chopping block. Our champions in Congress need your help to save it and the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS). Everything you need is at ALA's Legislative Action Center<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001pUES3JIdEZUQU36kTrwlPyzsJ7l7Hm047Ge175l8BSRX…> now! You can also visit the District Dispatch<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001pUES3JIdEZUQU36kTrwlPyzsJ7l7Hm047Ge175l8BSRX…> for more context. Action is needed by April 3. Eliminating the IMLS, and the LSTA program, would have devastating impact on statewide library services that are provided by the Library of Michigan. Michigan receives approximately $4.3 million per year in IMLS funding. IMLS/LSTA funds and mandated state matching funds support the Michigan eLibrary (MeL) including databases, eBooks and MeLCat, the statewide library catalog and resource-sharing network. Other programs supported by LSTA funding including early literacy resources and continuing education for librarians such as the Rural Libraries Conference. As detailed in the ALA Washington Office blog<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001pUES3JIdEZUQU36kTrwlPyzsJ7l7Hm047Ge175l8BSRX…>, the President of the United States effectively proposed eliminating all federal library funding and closing IMLS - the small, respected agency that administers $183 million of those funds through the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA). He also asked Congress to wipe out $27 million for Innovative Approaches to Literacy (IAL), which school libraries use to buy books and other materials for the nation's poorest children. But our library champions in Congress have mobilized to fight back and they need your help to succeed. Members of the U.S. House need to hear from their constituents before the April 3 deadline. Please e-mail or call your Representative in Washington today and ask them to sign both the LSTA and the IAL "Dear Appropriator" letters our champions have circulated, otherwise the powerful Appropriations Committees will not make LSTA and IAL a priority, dramatically increasing the odds that they will be cut or eliminated next year. ALA's Legislative Action Center<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001pUES3JIdEZUQU36kTrwlPyzsJ7l7Hm047Ge175l8BSRX…> has everything you - and five of your friends, patrons, relatives, employees and patrons - need to identify your Member of Congress and to tell him or her by email, tweet or phone to sign the LSTA and IAL "Dear Appropriator" letters to protect those critical programs in the FY 2018 federal budget. Send an email<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001pUES3JIdEZUQU36kTrwlPyzsJ7l7Hm047Ge175l8BSRX…> to your Representatives in Washington. Make a phone call<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001pUES3JIdEZUQU36kTrwlPyzsJ7l7Hm047Ge175l8BSRX…> - the system provides a script and the number.
