In 2019, The Saginaw Chippewa Tribal Libraries were awarded the IMLS National Leadership Grant to facilitate the creation of a new classification system by members of the community.

Digital Collection Development Policy results
by Betsy Myers 18 Jul '24

18 Jul '24

Hi everyone! Here are the results to my question asking if any library has a holds ratio policy for digital items (ebooks and downloadable audio) in their collection development policy...the answer is no. Many people were interested in the results and most gave best practices, which we follow as well. Usually if a digital hold reaches 7-10 (or more) it depends on the price of the license, the popularity (such as a book club placing holds to read an older book that isn't very popular), the format, if it is available as a CPC or a forever book, etc. Best advice was to not have a number in your policy, just in your procedures. Thanks for the input everyone! -- *Betsy Myers* Reference Department Interlibrary Loan/Programming *Traverse Area District Library* 610 Woodmere Ave Traverse City, MI 49686 231 932-8502 I recommend listening or reading Carley Fortune's new book, "This Summer Will Be Different"--its swoon-worthy. (sigh)

Duffy Hudson as Edgar Allan Poe/Houdini
by Jessica Byrns 17 Jul '24

17 Jul '24

Hello michlib! Need a spooky performer for October? I've been talking to Duffy Hudson, a historical performer whose acts include Edgar Allan Poe and Harry Houdini, about coming to perform for the Howell Carnegie Library on October 3rd. When we first touched base he mentioned to me that if there were other libraries in the area who wanted to book him as well, he'd be able to offer lower pricing in return for having a fuller work schedule. So, in case anyone else is interested - especially within a couple of hours of Howell/Brighton - his contact information is duffy(a)duffyhudson.com and here's a video of him performing The Tell Tale Heart as Edgar Allan Poe. https://youtu.be/cO3IIU21uq8 -- Jessica Byrns (she/her) Head of Adult and Technical Services Howell Carnegie District Library 314 West Grand River Ave. Howell, MI 48843
