Web Accessibility webinar from LM
by Membiela, Clare (MDE) 30 Oct '24

30 Oct '24

Website design and maintenance can be challenging! The Department of Justice has issued new regulations requiring that websites and mobile apps (including those produced and maintained by public libraries) be made accessible under the Americans with Disabilities Act. The regulations require that websites and mobile apps conform to specific technical standards for accessibility under The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines Version 2.1 (WCAG 2.1). https://www.ada.gov/resources/2024-03-08-web-rule/ https://www.ada.gov/resources/small-entity-compliance-guide/ If your library is uncertain of how to comply with these new requirements, or you just want to know more about these technical standards and why accessibility is so important, please join us on November 8 from 10:00am - 11:30am (EST) for The Modern eAccessibility Landscape in Public Libraries- an interactive webinar which will explain these new requirements AND provide technical guidance and tips for making your library's website compliant and more accessible. This webinar is presented by Sonya Schreyer Norris, a veteran librarian and webmaster guru who, among other duties, managed the Library of Michigan website, and worked with the Braille and Talking Book Library. Sonya has years of experience and expertise on web design and management as well as experience with accessibility issues. She will discuss issues and tips from the perspective of public libraries. This presentation is open to anyone interested, but it will be especially relevant and useful to those directors and/or staff who directly manage, design, and maintain their library's website. For more information and to register, please go to https://libraryofmichigan.app.neoncrm.com/np/clients/libraryofmichigan/even… We look forward to having you join us! Sincerely, Clare Clare D.

Library of Things Fellowship
by Caroline Shaltz Toplanaj 30 Oct '24

30 Oct '24

Greetings, My name is Caroline Toplanaj and I am one of the librarians overseeing Rochester Hills Public Library's Innovative Items Collection (Library of Things). I've spoken to some of you, but figured this would be a quicker way to reach out. I have put together a Discord server for libraries that have libraries of things. It is a virtual space where those working with these unique collections can share experiences, ask questions, and find support. I'm also hoping it can be a resource for any libraries looking to start a LoT. If you are interested in joining the group or have any questions, please send me an email at caroline.shaltz(a)rhpl.org! *Caroline Shaltz Toplanaj* *Adult Services Librarian* Rochester Hills Public Library caroline.toplanaj(a)rhpl.org <caroline.shaltz(a)rhpl.org> 1.248.650.7134

How do your lending agreements (if you have them)? How often do they need to be signed? How long do you keep them? How are they stored? We're considering updating our procedures and would love to hear what everyone else is doing. Let's use the example of Hotspots. Cierra Bakovka, MLIS She/Her Director Henika District Library 149 South Main St. Wayland, MI 49348 269-792-2891 ext. 309 mailto:cierra@henikalibrary.org

Reply to Michlib-l Vol 120, Issue 29 Q abt scanning
by SBBDL Information 30 Oct '24

30 Oct '24

We don't charge for scanning, which library users are often pleasantly surprised by. That said, we are a pretty small library so we haven't had any problems (knock on wood) with folks abusing this service.
