Branch libraries
by Oscoda County Library 15 Sep '15

15 Sep '15

Good morning: I have a few questions regarding branch libraries and budgets. If you have a branch, does your branch create their own individual budget, and then that is plugged into the main budget for the library system? Is a specific percentage of your total budget for your branch? When you first opened your branch, what determined the hours of operation to start? Thanks in advance for your assistance.

LearningExpress Library in MeL
by Biggs, Deb Renee (MDE) 14 Sep '15

14 Sep '15

Hi All-I've had some questions recently about what will be available come October 1st from LearningExpress, so thought I would send this out to hopefully clarify: LearningExpress LLC is the parent company and now part of EBSCO; they have 3 different products: LearningExpress Library - which we will continue to offer via MeL Job & Career Accelerator - which we are not continuing Workforce Skills for the 21st Century - which we are not continuing In our current version of LearningExpress Library, it includes the Computer Skills Center; that however, will be discontinued come 10/1 as the company decided not to include it in LearningExpress Library in their RFP bid placing it instead in Job & Career Accelerator and the Workforce Skills product. You may recently have received an email or communication from EBSCO about LearningExpress products. That memo would be referencing the Job & Career Accelerator and the Workforce Skills products. Hope this helps, but please let me know if you have any questions. Deb Deb Biggs Thomas, MA AMLS Michigan eLibrary & Outreach Coordinator Library of Michigan/Michigan Dept. of Education 702 W.
