Hi All-at the request of Gale, we have dropped the "InfoTrac" label from the following Gale resources available via the Michigan eLibrary: Junior Edition Newsstand Student Edition In addition, the "InfoTrac" label has been removed from the following smaller collections in MeL's Health & Wellness Gateway: Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine Collection Psychology Collection The above collections will instead be labeled with the word: "Powerpack". You may want to update these resources on your own web sites should you link to them directly rather. Thanks very much!

Tablets on Display
by Sally-Adrina Taylor 10 Oct '13

10 Oct '13

Hello Everyone, I am currently working on a project to put tablets on display in various areas of the library. Right now the tablets are currently stationed at a reference desk and are barely looked at. How often do you have clean the tablet's memory or restore to factory settings? If you have any other information or tip about tablets being used inside a library I would greatly appreciate it. We will have four iPads on display in our new children's area and 4 tablets (2 iPads, 1 Nook tablet, and a Kindle Fire) on our main floor/adult area. Thank you. Sincerely, Sally-Adrina Sally-Adrina Taylor Rapid City Public Libraries Public Services - Library Associate I (605) 394-6139 staylor(a)rcplib.org<mailto:staylor@rcplib.org> www.rapidcitylibrary.org<http://www.rapidcitylibrary.org/> [cid:image001.png@01CDE907.8F93BF80]

ALA Right to Libraries
by Trish Burns 10 Oct '13

10 Oct '13

Good afternoon! ALA President Barbara Stripling is rolling out an exciting community initiative called "The Declaration for the Right to Libraries". The Declaration for the Right to Libraries is the cornerstone document of ALA President Barbara Stripling's presidential initiative, Libraries Change Lives, which is designed to build the public will and sustained support for America's right to libraries of ALL types - academic, special, school and public. In the next year, libraries of all types will hold signing ceremonies, during which community members can visibly declare their right to have vibrant libraries in their community. The signing ceremony is intended to serve as the launching point for continued and vibrant community engagement to: * Increase public and media awareness about the critical role of libraries in communities around the country * Inspire ongoing conversations about the role of the library in the community * Cultivate a network of community allies and advocates for the library * Position the library as a trusted convener to help in the response to community issues Please take a minute to visit http://www.ala.org/advocacy/declaration-right-libraries for ideas on how to hold a signing ceremony, print out your own Declaration for your library, or participate with the virtual Declaration. If you choose to participate, would you please send me details of your event so I can share them with ALA?
