Getting Started with Digitization: An Introduction for Libraries Wednesday, February 17, 2:00pm EST Registration Link: https://cc.readytalk.com/r/q3dnt912aqnf&eom Do you have special collections that need to be digitized? Digitization projects can be a big undertaking, but the key to success is in the planning process. Libraries must consider content selection, scanning processes, copyright, and making content available for public use. In this webinar, collaborators from the Digital Public Library of America's Public Library Partnerships Project will help participants think through the digitization of their archives. Using a free, online curriculum developed as part of the project, they will share tips and ideas to consider when planning the who, what, when, where, how, and why of a digital project. They will also discuss feedback from the beginners who have been through their training program. This webinar will be recorded and archived on the TechSoup for Libraries website. Please register for this webinar to receive an email notification when the archive is available.

IRS Tax Forms
by Dillon Geshel 28 Jan '16

28 Jan '16

Hello Michigan Library Hive Mind! I've got a question about printing tax forms for our library patrons. Even though we don't receive any federal forms for our patrons, we have printed them off from the IRS website in the past. Today, when a patron requested form 1096, I found the PDF on the IRS website, but it includes a warning that the form cannot be printed and scanned. Instead, it asks the user to order the form. Does anyone know why this would be? Is this only the case with certain forms? Thank you, Dillon -- Dillon Geshel Library Director Portage Lake District Library 58 Huron Street, Houghton MI (906)-482-4570
