old card catalog cards
by Klaudia Janek 25 Nov '13

25 Nov '13

I'm considering hosting some makerspaces in my school library. Some of my students have been inspired by Pintrest by making art cards on old library card catalog cards. I thought I'd put out a request to see if anyone had a way of getting some? Or had some in boxes :) They are pretty hard to get now.

source for Affordable Care Act premium information
by Jennifer Dye 23 Nov '13

23 Nov '13

I heard about this last week, but finally got onto the site to confirm. The state Department of Insurance and Financial Services has set up a tool to estimate premiums and tax credits. It is NOT a tool to enroll, but it can help people who are trying to find out what their costs might be before enrolling. http://www.michigan.gov/difs/0,5269,7-303-12902_35510_66707-313356--,00.html I also found out on the difs site that Michigan will allow insurers to reinstate cancelled plans, which I had not heard yet.

Carroll Preston Baber Research Grant Call for Proposals
by J. Randolph Call 21 Nov '13

21 Nov '13

Apologies for cross posting. – jrc Carroll Preston Baber Research Grant Call for Proposals Do you have a project that is just waiting for the right funding? Are you thinking about ways that libraries can improve services to users? The American Library Association (ALA) gives an annual grant for those conducting research that will lead to the improvement of services to users. The Carroll Preston Baber Research Grant is given to one or more librarians or library educators who will conduct innovative research that could lead to an improvement in services to any specified group of people. The grant, up to $3,000, will be given to a proposed project that aims to answer a question of vital importance to the library community that is national in scope. Among the review panel criteria are: * The research problem is clearly defined, with a specific question or questions that can be answered by collecting data. The applicant(s) clearly describe a strategy for data collection whose methods are appropriate to the research question(s). A review of the literature, methodologies, etc. is not considered research (e.g., methodology review rather than application of a methodology) for purposes of the award, except where the literature review is the primary method of collecting data. * The research question focuses on benefits to library users and should be applied and have practical value as opposed to theoretical. * The applicant(s) demonstrate ability to undertake and successfully complete the project. The application provides evidence that sufficient time and resources have been allocated to the effort. Appropriate institutional commitment to the project has been secured. Any ALA member may apply, and the Jury would welcome projects that involve both a practicing librarian and a researcher. Deadline is January 8, 2014 . Check out this web site to find procedures and an application form: http://www.ala.org/ala/aboutala/offices/ors/orsawards/baberresearchgrant/ba… See the section on How to Apply .

INALJ meetup in Royal Oak tonight
by Jennifer Dye 21 Nov '13

21 Nov '13

I don't remember whether this was previously announced on this list, but thought I should remind people (or let them know) that there is an INALJ meetup tonight in Royal Oak. INALJ is "I Need a Library Job"--though as always networking should start before you're looking for a job. All librarians and information professionals (including students) are invited to join other INALJ fans for drinks, nibbles and great conversation. When: Thursday, November 21, 6-8 pm Where: Goodnite Gracie in Royal Oak, https://www.facebook.com/GoodniteGracieRoyalOak?rf=109934012398731 The details: this is a networking event similar to a no host dinner or open house at a professional conference. You will meet other librarians and information professionals in the area for informal conversations (bring business cards!). There is no charge to attend; you just pay for your own food and drink. Students are more than welcome to join us. Co-hosted by Karly Szczepkowski, Eva Gogola and Barry Puckett RSVP: Karly Szczepkowski – karly(a)ix.netcom.com Jennifer Dye Librarian Hubbard Branch Detroit Public Library 12929 W.
