Coloring Book Clubs
by Biggs, Deb Renee (MDE) 24 Nov '15

24 Nov '15

Hi All--I'm just reading an article in the Nov./Dec. issue of American Libraries (pg. 18-19) on public libraries who have coloring book clubs. I recently purchased some "adult" coloring books as I loved to color as a child and think it would be a good stress reliever; wondering if any Michigan libraries are doing this? Have a great weekend!

24 Nov '15

Preliminary findings and final reminder: Outsell's 2015 Information Management (IM) Benchmarking Survey closes 30 November *Final posting: thank you to everyone who has already contributed* Outsell's preliminary findings from this year's survey suggest that e-books are the top priority for increased investment for 2016. How does this compare to your IM budgeting for 2016? Also, around 40% of respondents report Big Data Analytics and skills with Visualization Tools as the areas where they are now experiencing the biggest skills gaps. How does the skill-set of your team compare to your peers? This is just a reminder that you can find out by participating in our 2015 survey for library leaders and managers, which is live until Monday, 30th November. In return for your participation, you will instantly receive a free 12-page data report showing how your responses compare to both your peer group, and the library community as a whole. You can find the survey at: http://outsell.interceptsurveys.com/IMB The survey should take around 20 minutes of your time to complete (you can pause it and return at will), and all information will be kept strictly confidential. The survey will close on Monday, 30 November, 2015. Questions? Need a copy of the questionnaire? Please contact: Leonie Nicholas, Affiliate Analyst, Outsell, Inc, lnicholas(a)outsellinc.com. With a final thanks to everyone who has supported this initiative! Leonie Leonie Nicholas Affiliate Analyst, Information Management Outsell, Inc. Email: lnicholas(a)outsellinc.com

e-mail sign ups with no cell phone
by Jennifer Hassell 23 Nov '15

23 Nov '15

Does anyone know of an e-mail provider that patrons can sign up for that do not require additional authentication? We have a patron who needs an e-mail address to apply for a job. He has no cell phone, other e-mail address, facebook or google account. Honestly, I do not believe that he can create and remember that usernames and passwords for those services even if we sat down and created them. Yahoo and Gmail all require that you get a text or voice call for verification to set up and e-mail address. If he uses his home number and opts for the voice verification than he must go home, hope that there is a message on his answering machine and then hope that when he returns and tries to create his account again that the previously sent verification code will work. It seems that there has to be a better way for our patrons who do not use these other technologies to get an e-mail address. Thanks in advance!

Re: [Michlib-l] Event for IT Professionals

Hi, I was wondering if this would be for IT people who do more of the technical side of things (setting up routers, computer programs, managing machines and networking, etc), or if it would be for a more basic level (information on teaching patrons basic computer skills, etc.) I was also wondering if these meetings would be available as webinars at any point in the future. -- Katrina Schultz Crawford County Library

You will not be charged until the order has shipped, so you can order now and will not need to pay until the spring. The order dates/delivery dates are: * Place order by: December 1, 2015 Receive order by: March 1, 2016 * Place order by: January 1, 2016 Receive order by: April 1, 2016 * Place order by: March 1, 2016 Receive order by: May 1, 2016 CSLP has added the 2016 catalog on the www.cslpreads.org<http://www.cslpreads.org> site. This is on the right hand side of the (CSLP/Upstart) shopping page. You can turn the pages, view each item and if you wish to purchase or place the item in a shopping cart, simply click on the item number. This will take you to the order page where the item can be placed in a shopping cart. (Please remind the librarians to close the item window before returning to the e-catalog otherwise you will have many item widows open.) You will need to log into the CSLP website before you can click on the shopping link. If you have any questions, please contact me!
