Conservation and Collection Care Camp 4, May 4
by Driedger, Kevin (MDE) 23 Mar '16

23 Mar '16

Hello All- Registration is open for our next session of Conservation & Collections Care Camp! Let me know if you plan to attend and if you would like to do a short presentation. I've pasted the details here and also attached them. Please share this with anyone who might be interested. Thanks, and looking forward to seeing you in May! Dianna Conservation and Collections Care Camp: Call for Participants and Presenters The organizers of the Conservation and Collections Care Camp are pleased to announce that CCCC4 is set for May 4, 2016. It will be held at the University of Michigan Bentley Historical Library at 1150 Beal Avenue, Ann Arbor. Please spread the word! The theme for this camp is Bringing the Past Into the Future. The agenda will consist of informal presentations and discussions by attendees about interesting projects or problems followed by a tour of the Bentley Library. The time is 10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. There is no cost for the camp but registration is required in order to attend. Lunch will be provided. Parking will be at metered lot NC5 (accepts cash or credit cards at a kiosk). Parking map: http://pts.umich.edu/maps/north_medical.pdf If you have attended a C&C Care Camp before, you know that it is conducted in an informal environment designed for participants to share conservation-related accomplishments, ask colleagues about their experiences, and to give and get advice. The focus is primarily, though not exclusively, about "analog" materials: paper, photographs, film, art, etc. The Bentley now has a "teaching" podium that has a windows PC, with Powerpoint, Internet access, a wide-screen projector, etc. People can also plug in their Mac or PC laptops if they desire. You can read about some previous camps on the woefully out of date "Michigan Collections Network" blog. https://michigancollectionsnetwork.wordpress.com/ Please plan to come and share your experiences and to learn from your peers. We want to hear about your projects! Email Dianna Samuelson sdianna(a)umich.edu<mailto:sdianna@umich.edu> with questions, to reserve a place on the agenda (15-30 minute time slots), and to register. Registration deadline: April 20, 2016.

Travel Guidebooks
by Devin Erlandson 23 Mar '16

23 Mar '16

Hi all, We are undergoing a much-needed nonfiction weeding project and have finally hit the section with our travel guidebooks. We are hoping/wondering if other libraries have either a travel guidebook purchasing rotation and/or a section in your weeding policy that addresses guidebooks. If anyone could forward that on to be I'd be eternally grateful. -- Devin Erlandson, MLIS Information Coordinator Allegan District Library 269-673-4625 alleganlibrary.org

MAP: Three Times The Fun This Year, Vs. Last Year
by Jim Flury 23 Mar '16

23 Mar '16

All, I am very pleased to share the news that by the end of the day today, Michigan's public library patrons will have checked out THREE TIMES as many MAP Passes in the 10 months since the program renewed last May, as was the case for the entire previous twelve month period! Give yourselves a round of applause, as your promotion and publicity is really making the difference here. And it isn't just museum passes, either. Per this article that appeared in the March 20 edition of the Detroit Free Press, libraries all across Michigan have a variety of other neat things to lend, too: http://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/macomb/2016/03/20/libraries-… Speaking of MAP promotion, earlier today I got an email from a library staff member who works at a public library in the southwestern part of the state. She wanted to tell me that she had used our PowerPoint presentation to introduce MAP to one of her local cultural institutions. Her program was so well received that the institution said they were planning to send their signed MAP agreement to me right away! Finally, we are talking to a potential new MAP partner that, if we are able to secure an agreement with this organization, would result in a huge increase in MAP publicity and attendance. I'm not going to name the potential partner at this time. But it is one of those places that everybody likes to go :) Thank you for your support and promotion of the Michigan Activity Pass program. Sincerely, Jim Flury Jim Flury Technical Services Manager The Library Network 41365 Vincenti Court Novi, MI 48375 248-536-3100 x133 Fax 248-536-3098 jflury(a)tln.lib.mi.us
