PRH eBook Lending Terms: Changes Coming January 1
by Jim Flury 04 Dec '15

04 Dec '15

Positive changes, imo... 1. No more one year licenses for Penguin eBooks. Instead, perpetual access, as Random House eBooks are now. 2. Reduction in price cap from $85.00 to $65.00 for PRH eBooks. Skip Dye, VP of library sales for Penguin Random House, is a true advocate for and friend of, public libraries at his company. http://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/digital/content-and-e-books/art… More in depth article here: http://lj.libraryjournal.com/2015/12/technology/ebooks/penguin-random-house… Jim 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

by Borrelli, Eunice (MDE) 03 Dec '15

03 Dec '15

Hello all, ~This week's MeL Minute is provided by Midwest Collaborative for Library Services - MCLS ~ The MeL/MeLCat server migration has begun! The migration does affect the MeL Databases. 1. Users directly searching the MeL Databases at http://mel.org/Databases will be verified that they are in Michigan based on the IP address of their workstation. If the IP isn't recognized as being in Michigan, patrons will NOT be able to use the optional remote login screen via driver's license or an account at a MeLCat library. 2. Libraries with direct URLs to the MeL Databases should be able to access the databases if their library IP is registered with the database vendor. If you need to register your library IP address, go to http://mcls.org/ipupdates 3.The MeL Discovery service (at http://search.mel.org<http://search.mel.org/> and on http://mel.org)<http://mel.org),/> and the "Search" buttons on the MeL Gateways have been temporarily removed.

Youth Cards and DVDs
by Devin Erlandson 03 Dec '15

03 Dec '15

Good afternoon, We are looking at redoing our loan policy specifically regarding youth cards and borrowing DVDs. Our current policy is that only adult cards can check out DVDs and the owner of said card must be present (so a child can't check out a DVD with mom's card). We're wondering what other libraries are doing in regards to their DVD policies and youth restrictions. If you have policies to share that would be great! Much appreciated. -- Devin Erlandson, MLIS Information Coordinator Allegan District Library 269-673-4625 alleganlibrary.org

After ten years of advocacy, thousands of emails, hundreds of calls and scores of meetings last night the House of Representatives passed the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), school libraries included!

But we're not there yet! The House voted to approve the Every Student Succeeds Act and now it's the Senate's turn. Please, take a moment on two vital actions: 1. Contact your Senators to let them know how essential this bill is to our children's education and futures. 2. Contact absolutely everyone you know and ask them to do the same thing.
