LM's Library Science Collection - Services to Seniors and Older Adults
by Reish, Karren (MDE) 13 Sep '23

13 Sep '23

With fall is approaching quickly and summer reading wrapped up for the year, let's take a look at programming for older adults. Libraries provide programming for all ages and there are special issues with each age group. Older adults may have more flexible time, but may have issues with declining health, mobility and dementia, creating very different needs for them as a patron group. How do you reach out to your older community and provide services they can use? LM is highlighting topical Library Science titles from our collection in occasional emails. Here are selected titles on services for older adults purchased recently. You can search MeLCat for LM titles and you can also check our New Library Science Collection titles at https://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/libraries/libsci. Click on the ANSWER catalog link and use "Library Science Collection" as one of the search terms in the Advanced Search - Notes field and you will pull only the library science collection titles. REMINDER: Titles are available through interlibrary loan only right now, as our MeLCat delivery is temporarily offline while we prepare to move to a new catalog. You can find the information on interlibrary loan borrowing from the Library of Michigan here - https://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/about/libuseguidelines/guideforl…. The page references state employees, but libraries may also borrow from the collection through interlibrary loan. Please feel free to contact me if you have any issues getting a title. Services for Older Adults titles: * On the go with senior services : library programs for any time and any place / Phyllis Goodman / Libraries Unlimited, 2020. * Library dementia services : how to meet the needs of the Alzheimer's community / Timothy J.

12 Sep '23

Please excuse multiple-posting. This is a new position at Kresge Library Services of the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor). Business Curriculum Librarian: https://careers.umich.edu/job_detail/239299/business-curriculum-library The Position is currently posted until September 25th, but we intend to leave it open until November 11th, 2023. The focus of the position is to provide support for faculty to select and explore new cases and learning objects for their classes. Many faculty use the same cases year in and year out. Our goal in doing this is to have a member of our team who can work directly with faculty and explore additional options. Typically we send them to Harvard for an assessment of their syllabus - but that only drives to the Harvard and Harvard-represented resources. My hope is that we will start using more OER (Open Educational Resources) that do not require students to purchase for access. The librarian will also work with reference and action-learning, so that is good. This is the key summary of the position: The Business Curriculum Librarian will provide a full range of information support in a service-oriented business reference environment. This new position will work with faculty at the Ross School and staff in Kresge Learning Services to ensure that resources are available for Ross classes. These resources may be available through online course materials, through the school's CMS (Course Management System), or distributed in class. This librarian will work with faculty to provide options for course materials (cases, articles, and simulations) for their class. Provide reference assistance and participate in instructional and outreach programs related to course materials and curriculum resources. This position is a 12-month, 100% effort, non-tenure track appointment reporting to the Library Director. You will be a member of LEO-GLAM (also known as AFT Local 6244) and the rules of employment are established by the UM|LEO-GLAM Collective Bargaining Agreement 2022-2025. --full listing-- How to Apply A cover letter is required for consideration for this position and should be attached as the first page of your resume. The cover letter should address your specific interest in the position, include salary requirements, and outline skills and experience that directly relate to this position. Summary The Stephen M. Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan is a diverse learning community grounded in the principle that business can be an extraordinary vehicle for positive change in today's dynamic global economy. The Ross School of Business mission is to build a better world through business. Through our powerful ideas, purpose-driven leaders, and positive impact, we empower business leaders to improve the world.
