Michlib-l best practices
by Norris, Sonya (MDE) 03 May '17

03 May '17

Greetings Michigan Library Community, This is a best practices update for posting to Michlib-l. We welcome your participation on Michlib-l. There are a few guidelines that help improve the experience for everyone: 1. Do not post replies that are meant for one person to the entire list. You can accomplish this by using the "Reply" feature and not "Reply All." 2. If you ask for group input on a topic, offer to collect the responses and then re-post them to the list so everyone can benefit. Be sure to embed those responses in the body of your message. 3. Please keep in mind when composing your messages that attachments are removed from posts for digest subscribers and in the archives. For maximum reach, embed the text you wish readers to see in the body of your message. If an attachment is especially important for its images, formatting or other reasons, upload it to your website and then link to it in your message to Michlib-l. And, of course, a little patience goes a long way. We've all accidentally posted something to a list that was only meant for one person so gentleness with each other is helpful as well. Have a fabulous day in Library Land, Sonya Sonya Schryer Norris Library of Michigan 702 W.

Star TSP100 Receipt Printer
by Mindy Schafer 03 May '17

03 May '17

Hello all! We currently use several of the Star TSP100 printers at our service desk, self-checks, etc. The last few weeks, one of them has become increasingly louder and "clunkier" sounding. It has also begun to cut off just prior to the last line of text. I have tried the recommended cleaning procedures, but no luck. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Fixable or replace? Thanks much! -- Mindy Schafer Assistant Director/Youth Librarian DeWitt District Library <http://dewittlibrary.org> 13101 Schavey Rd.

Literature/Banned Book speaker
by Jennifer Hassell 03 May '17

03 May '17

Just curious if anyone has ever had a presenter give a talk on banning literature, historically through present day. I am thinking a qualified university professor or high school English teacher might be a place to start but looking for the hive mind input. Thanks!
