DALNET Educational Forum: The Network Rebalances the Library: Patterns and Questions, Friday, June 11, 9:30-1PM
by Steven K. Bowers 10 Jul '13

10 Jul '13

DALNET Educational Forum Friday, August 9, 9:30-Noon, Lunch Available Following Keynote from 12-1PM At Wayne State University, Undergraduate Library, Bernath Auditorium The Network Rebalances the Library: Patterns and Questions This presentation will look at a series of patterns and questions that are emerging as library organizations and services continue to be rebalanced by the impact of the network. The focus will be less on technology per se , and more on how broader network and digital shifts are affecting research, learning and engagement, and how those changes in turn make libraries think differently about how they organize, where they make investments, and what services are important. The presentation will look at such things as changing patterns of user engagement, collections focus, system provision, and skills. It will conclude by suggesting three broad patterns: a shift to engagement by better understanding and getting into workflows ; rightscaling infrastructure as collections and systems are sourced collaboratively and/or in the cloud; and how innovation and learning happens through institutional change. Lorcan Dempsey, Vice President, OCLC Research and Chief Strategist Keynote speaker Lorcan oversees OCLC Research and participates in strategic planning at OCLC. He is a librarian who began his career in public libraries in his native Dublin, Ireland. He joined OCLC in 2001 as Vice President, Research and was named Chief Strategist in 2004. Before moving to OCLC, Lorcan headed up national information services in the UK with JISC . Before that, he directed UKOLN , a national U.K. research and policy unit at the University of Bath. He is currently a member of the Cambridge University Library Visiting Committee and a member of the Advisory Board for the Canada Institute for Scientific and Technical Information ( CISTI ). In 2010 he received the National Federation of Advanced Information Services' ( NFAIS ) highest award, The Miles Conrad Award. Contact information online here .

Board/Commission Interaction Query
by Michael Mccaffery 10 Jul '13

10 Jul '13

Hello In preparation for a study session next Tuesday, I want to give a comprehensive report to council on library board powers and how they interact with the city council and administration. Although PA164 and MCL 397.211/212 has some details and I have done some other reading and questioning I am trying to provide a better picture for council as to some of the finer points of board interaction and how they can vary and why. Some questions that will come up: 1) Is your budget approved by city council and the board/commission or just the board? 2) Is your millage levied by the board/commission on its own or does it require a motion of council to levy each year? 3) Is your board/commission appointed or elected? 4) Does city council have a seat on the board/commission? 5) How many members are on the board/commission? 6) Does the board/commision or city administration choose the director? If you have a copy of your board's bylaws that would also be helpful. Thanks for your time and attention. MPM -- Michael Mccaffery Director Dearborn Heights City Libraries 24590 George St. Dearborn Heights, MI 48127 313-791-3800 mmccaffery(a)ci.dearborn-heights.mi.us
