Stock Price in 1992 Question
by Faith Wolbers 27 Mar '14

27 Mar '14

Hello- I have a patron who is looking for the stock prices of Sara Lee (SLE) for 11/6/1992 and 12/1/1992. Does anyone know how I might be able to help him find that? Sara Lee stock no longer exists and another stock exists under that code so when I attempt to find the price it isn't working. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. :) Thanks, Faith Wolbers, MLIS Coloma Public Library Assistant Director 151 W. Center St. P.O. Box 430 Coloma, MI 49038 (269) 468-3431 Fax: (269) 468-8077 <http://www.colomapubliclibrary.net/> http://www.colomapubliclibrary.net

by William Marino 27 Mar '14

27 Mar '14

Are you interested in responsive web design for your library but don't know where to begin? Be sure to check out "Responsive Web Design--A Paradigm Shift" at MLA's upcoming Technologies & Trends Workshop on Friday, May 16 at Oakland University in Rochester, MI. This session will provide a brief overview of RWD, where it began, what elements comprise it, the importance of RWD on your website and the practicalities of implementing it. Should you hire a vendor? Handle it in-house? Details on the Michigan State University Libraries' implementation of responsive web design using the Drupal Omega theme and solutions adopted to transform an existing, fixed width library web site to a responsive design will also be shared. More information and registration can be found on the MLA website at http://www.mla.lib.mi.us/events/workshops/tech . Bill Marino MLA Technologies & Trends Workgroup 2014 wmarino1(a)emich.edu

Stale air
by Sears, Debby 26 Mar '14

26 Mar '14

We would like to tap into your experience. In this very busy winter season, we have found the library atmosphere gets a bit musty, stale, stinky, etc. We do have ceiling fans, but we work in an historic building without an HVAC system so there are restrictions as to what we can do. Have any of you found a solution that does not involve air fresheners? Thanks for your help. Debby Sears Jackson District Library
