by fabak＠libcoop.net 07 Nov '13

07 Nov '13

Hello, Just in time for the holiday season, pianist/composer Deborrah Wyndham will be with us on December 16 to present her program “Holiday Music Past and Present.” Deborrah is a highly acclaimed performer whose style can range from contemporary to classical to jazz and ragtime. You may have seen her on FOX, NBC or ABC TV or heard her on NPR. When she plays for us, she will perform both traditional and popular songs and tell us a little about the songs and their composers. I am attaching our flyer for the event in case you would like to print some for your patrons. If you have any questions or need additional information, please let me know. Thank you.

OCLC ILL Article Exchange and copyright
by Ann Bissell 07 Nov '13

07 Nov '13

From: Ann Bissell Sent: Thursday, November 07, 2013 3:15 PM To: Subject: OCLC ILL Article Exchange and copyright We have just migrated to the new ILL system and I recently just took over doing ILL at my institution. So I am asking for help from the 'Collective Wisdom'. We get a lot of ILL request for articles from our databases- some MEL supplied and some not. I thought we could ILL anything from MEL databases to Michigan residents/libraries and be ok with copyright restrictions. Is this correct? Secondly-Since Article Exchange is a more secure way of providing documents, is it allowed to ILL documents to non-Michigan libraries. I did look at ERMI License Elements - MeL Database Licenses. Just making sure I am on the right track. Thanks! *************************************************************** Ann Bissell Reference Librarian/Learning Resources Center Bay de Noc Community College 2001 North Lincoln Road Escanaba, MI 49829 800-221-2001- toll free 906-217-4079 906-789-6912 fax bissella(a)baycollege.edu<mailto:bissella@baycollege.edu>

Outdoor Electronic Sign Policies
by Diane Cutler 07 Nov '13

07 Nov '13

Good morning, I'm interested in policies/procedures from libraries regarding the use of outdoor electronic signs. For example, do you only advertise library/Friends events? Do you allow groups using library meeting rooms to advertise on the electronic sign? What about events that may not be occurring in the library or on the library grounds but may benefit the community as a whole? Do you ever charge for use of the electronic sign? I understand local ordinances may direct much of this policy, but we are interested in successes (and challenges) in sign use. Thank you for your assistance, Diane Cutler Diane M. Cutler Branch Manager Cascade Township Branch Kent District Library 2870 Jacksmith Ave SE Grand Rapids, MI 49546 616.647.3859 616.647.3854 (fax) An EPIC Award Winner for Excellence in Business 2013 Grand Rapids Chamber of Commerce
