Software for wireless with login requirements - do you recommend one?
by aldenlib＠torchlake.com 19 Sep '14

19 Sep '14

Hi, My library has recently had two notices of copyright infringement from our internet provider. While I understand from our lawyer that the Library is not liable to the copyright owner under DCMA's Safe Harbor clause, the internet provider has mentioned in its notice that it can drop us as a customer if the illegal downloading continues. To that end, I would like to buy software that requires wireless users to have a library card so that we can identify and possibly suspend an infringer's use of the internet; I believe that the internet provider would be happy with that. If you can recommend this type of product, I'd appreciate your response on or off the listserv. Sue Riegler, Director Alden District Library 231/331-4318 aldenlib(a)torchlake.com

Dear Colleagues, I am passing along a call for proposals. If you have any questions, please contact ALAO Series Editor: Samantha Hines, Missoula College at the University of Montana, samantha.hines(a)umontana.edu<mailto:samantha.hines@umontana.edu> ________________________________________ Beth Martin Head Librarian of Professional Programs & Economics Department Liaison Librarian GVSU Libraries DEV 132A, Steelcase Library 401 W. Fulton Ave. Grand Rapids, MI. 49504 616-331-7344 martelia(a)gvsu.edu<mailto:martelia@gvsu.edu> ***Please excuse the cross-posting*** The Advances in Library Administration and Organization is seeking proposals for their 2015 volume on staffing for the future. The call can be found at http://emeraldgrouppublishing.com/products/books/series.htm?id=0732-0671, and is pasted below and attached as well. The call: Libraries are dealing with unprecedented changes on several fronts: technological developments, funding difficulties, and an increasing need to prove themselves to a demanding population. These factors understandably impact library staffing. Looking toward the future, what changes can we expect to see in how libraries are staffed, how staff are trained and continue to learn, and how we will recruit and maintain staff. The 2015 volume of Advances in Library Administration and Organization will focus on the future of library staffing. ALAO offers long-form research, comprehensive discussions of theoretical developments, and in-depth accounts of evidence-based practice in library administration and organization. The series aims to answer the questions, ³How have libraries been managed, and how should they be managed?² It goes beyond a platform for the sharing of research to provide a venue for dialogue across issues, in a way that traditional peer reviewed journals cannot. Through this series, practitioners can glean new approaches in challenging times and collaborate on the exploration of scholarly solutions to professional quandaries. We are currently seeking proposals for the 2015 volume on staffing for the future. If you are interested in being part of this volume, please send a proposal including author details and estimated length of final submission to Samantha.hines(a)umontana.edu<mailto:Samantha.hines@umontana.edu><mailto:Samantha.hines@umontana.edu> by October 17, 2014.

So we will look at some of the cool new technologies that are out there, and how libraries are or could be using them. But in addition to that, technology is used to attract the attention of our patrons. “Patron engagement” is a buzz word in the library world that means that we are striving to interact with our patrons in a variety of ways, to get them engaged with the resources and services that our library offers. So we will also look at ways to reach out to your patrons using technology so that the library remains as a prominent resource for your community.
