Disaster Recovery Plan
by Mark Morton 24 Feb '17

24 Feb '17

We are working on updating our disaster recovery plan and would like to see what other small to medium size libraries have in place if you are willing to share. We are looking for a recovery plan or continuity of operations plan not a disaster response plan. You know, the what to do after the water recedes, wind has died down, smoke has stopped wisping up from the ashes plan (I did say disaster after all). Thanks!

MeL Minute - Academic OneFile
by Borrelli, Eunice (MDE) 23 Feb '17

23 Feb '17

Hi all, MeL.org<http://mel.org/> resource provider Gale Cengage has implemented some enhancements to the popular Academic OneFile<http://www.galesupport.com/migeoipcheck/migeoipcheck-gale.php?database=AONE>. The next time you use Academic OneFile you'll notice that the appearance has changed so that the picture icons for the covered disciplines are gone and replaced with buttons to connect to the content in the nine subject areas. This change results in a cleaner presentation and easier navigation as all nine disciplines are now viewable on the opening screen. Updates to three key areas of study - Biology, Chemistry, and Environmental Science will occur automatically. In addition to these three, the other disciplines are Criminal Justice, Economics, History, Marketing, Political Science, and Psychology. As with other Gale products, Academic OneFile<http://www.galesupport.com/migeoipcheck/migeoipcheck-gale.php?database=AONE> features integrated G Suite for Education<http://www.gale.com/google> and Microsoft Office 365 tools. After authentication, users can sign in with their Google or Microsoft account credentials to access Google Drive, Docs and Classroom, in addition to Microsoft OneDrive and OneNote. Michigan residents or Michigan library access only. 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>.

I have enjoyed meeting and working with so many of you and thank you for your enthusiasm and support. The Michigan library community is awesome and it's been an honor to be a part of it. Cheers!

If you consider yourself a History Hound, always wanting to "sniff out" and explore Michigan's most fascinating historical facets, join us for our evening series of in-depth lectures. The Historical Society of Michigan's History Hounds Lecture Series allows attendees to delve into Michigan's history and dig up a bone or two of new appreciation to take home. HSM members attend for FREE! Non-members, $5. <http://www.hsmichigan.org/programs/history-hounds-lecture-series/> To register for a lecture, use our secure online registration forms or call (800) 692-1828. _____ "That Sinking Feeling: Michigan and the RMS Titanic" with Robert C. Myers of the Historical Society of Michigan will be the debut presentation and will take place on Wednesday, March 15, at 7 p.m. This presentation explores the Titanic's history, her fatal maiden voyage, and the Michiganders who figured into her story. Michigan had more than a passing connection to history's most famous maritime disaster. More than 60 passengers aboard the White Star liner were either Michigan residents or immigrants bound for the Wolverine State. United States Senator William Alden Smith, who was from Grand Rapids, organized and chaired the United States inquiry into the sinking. Senator Smith's inquiry and findings became the basis for new maritime safety laws, including the requirement that ships carry enough lifeboats for all aboard. _____ _____ The Historical Society of Michigan is our state's oldest cultural organization, founded in 1828 by territorial governor Lewis Cass and explorer Henry Schoolcraft. A nongovernmental nonprofit, the Society focuses on publications, conferences, education, awards and recognition programming, and support for local history organizations to preserve and promote Michigan's rich history. _____ For more information on the Historical Society of Michigan, please visit <http://www.hsmichigan.org/> www.hsmichigan.org or e-mail us at <mailto:hsm@hsmichigan.org> hsm(a)hsmichigan.org. _____ The Historical Society of Michigan 5815 Executive Dr. .

Movement-Based Programs in Michigan Public Libraries
by Noah Lenstra 23 Feb '17

23 Feb '17

Hello everyone, I am an assistant professor in the Department of Library and Information Studies at the University of North Carolina-Greensboro. As part of a project to understand how public libraries adapt to the needs of their communities, I am studying movement-based programs in public libraries (think yoga/tai chi/Zumba in the library, StoryWalks, music and movement, walking groups, etc.) I am asking for your help in this project. If you work in a public library in Michigan, please consider taking a few minutes to fill out this short survey about any programs or services your library provides, has provided in the past, or is planning to provide in the future. Survey Link: https://uncg.qualtrics.com/jfe3/form/SV_eJ3QZdjTvMLVM1v <https://uncg.qualtrics.com/jfe3/form/SV_eJ3QZdjTvMLVM1v> The name of this project is "Let’s Move! Libraries.” The project’s website is http://www.letsmovelibraries.org/ <http://www.letsmovelibraries.org/>. There you will find information on movement-based programs that have taken place in the recent past in public libraries throughout North America. The overall goal of this project is to strengthen work already underway in public libraries that seeks to get our communities up and moving. The results from this survey will be shared on this website in Fall 2017. Please share this link with others you think may be interested in this project. Thank you for your time! I look forward to your feedback.

Re: [Michlib-l] Closing the day after Christmas 2017
by Reed, Nyama 23 Feb '17

23 Feb '17

Our village has the policy that if a holiday falls on Saturday, they close Friday. On Sunday, they close Monday. If we did that, we would have been closed Fri-Mon two weeks in a row for Christmas Eve, Christmas, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day in 2016. Our patrons would be very unhappy if we were shut 8 days over winter break. The library differs from the Village by closing on the actual day (Saturday or Sunday) and being open every other day. If a staff member would normally work that day, then they get holiday pay for it. If they would not normally work that day, then they get a "floating holiday" which they can use any time during the year. This method reduces the impact on patrons. I get some push back from staff who complain that other places are closed Friday or Monday and I explain that they get their day off - on the actual holiday, not the federal holiday. Thank you and have a wonderful day, Nyama Please note email change to N.Reed(a)WFBLibrary.org due to return to maiden name. Nyama Y.

by Chris Wells 23 Feb '17

23 Feb '17

Greetings, We are researching the possibility of adding the digital signature product offered by III on their Sierra platform. I am having trouble finding another library that uses said product (digital signatures). If there is another library out there, could you please respond and let me know what you think as well as your use case. Additionally, we would like to know how it works in general, so if you could include a screen shot of a test account or some such, that would be great. Thanks in advance, -- Chris Wells IT Manager, Genesee District Library P: 810-230-3341 E: cwells(a)thegdl.org THE OPINIONS EXPRESSED IN THIS EMAIL ARE MY OWN AND DO NOT NECESSARILY REFLECT THE VIEWS OF THE GENESEE DISTRICT LIBRARY.
