Course offering-Please share with your colleagues
by Drobny, Daria 10 Jul '13

10 Jul '13

The Metropolitan Detroit Medical Library Group(MDMLG) invites you to another CE course later this summer Aug. 15th How to be VISIBLE in a VIRTUAL World Many librarians believe that the value of a library is intrinsic - until a library's existence is threatened. It is hard to find new ways to persuade others that a library is a good thing to keep. By adapting persuasion theory, we can create a powerful image of the library. Participants will be able to distinguish between products and benefits in the patron's eyes, the importance of credibility and visibility, and persuasion tactics to use to convince leaders in their respective environments of the value of the library. You will explore what makes the library indispensable, whom to influence, when and where, and the significance for developing a plan for being visible/viable in a virtual world.

ExpressSOS opportunity for Michigan libraries
by Robertson, Nancy (MDE) 09 Jul '13

09 Jul '13

Hi everyone, As with all public library service in Michigan, services provided are determined at the local level. As such, opportunities to highlight the essential nature of our public libraries and to serve our patrons in more expansive ways are just that - opportunities. It is up to each library to make the determination about participating in the ExpressSOS partnership (and/or in the Affordable Health Care Act insurance enrollment initiative). You know best about your capacity and resources, but I encourage you to participate in them if at all possible, as the light that shines positively on libraries will help "raise all the boats in the harbor" so to speak. In any case, whether we do or do not all take them up on it, we want to thank the Secretary of State's Office for engaging in this potential partnership with Michigan libraries. Nancy Nancy R. Robertson State Librarian Library of Michigan 702 West Kalamazoo, P.O.

Public Library Director Tammy Turgeon and yours truly representing the Library of Michigan. Area library directors both public and academic are more than welcome to come and stand with Secretary Ruth and Director Tammy at the press event which will be videotaped.
