Join us for a Michigan Digital Preservation Network Informational Meeting re: LOCKSS Server Hosting
by Chelsea Denault 21 Nov '22

21 Nov '22

Hello list members! You are invited to attend a virtual informational meeting with MDPN staff and members of the LOCKSS Program<https://www.lockss.org/> at Stanford University to learn more about system requirements, potential costs, necessary staff skills, and the benefits your organization may be eligible for by becoming a LOCKSS node server host for the MDPN on November 28 at 3pm ET. This meeting will be recorded so that interested parties who are unable to attend can still learn from the discussion. The MDPN<http://mipres.org/> is a membership-based organization dedicated to providing digital preservation services to cultural memory institutions, research organizations, and others that maintain electronic records or digital collections. The MDPN welcomes organizations of all sizes, technical capacity, and financial ability across Michigan. By concentrating resources and knowledge towards a single effort, the MDPN seeks to reduce redundant efforts in the state and build capacity for more organizations to participate. The MDPN was created by a 2019 Memorandum of Understanding between the Library of Michigan, Grand Valley State University, Michigan State University, the Midwest Collaborative for Library Services, and Western Michigan University. Current members include Capital Area District Libraries, Eastern Michigan University, Grand Valley State University, Hillsdale College, Michigan State University, the University of Michigan, Wayne State University, and Western Michigan University. The MDPN was recently awarded a National Leadership Grant for Libraries<https://imls.gov/grants/awarded/lg-252394-ols-22> from the Institute for Museum and Library Services to demonstrate a statewide model for affordable and easy-to-use digital preservation services using free and open source tools, including Academic Preservation Trust’s DART<https://aptrust.github.io/dart-docs/> application and LOCKSS 2.0/LAAWS<https://www.lockss.org/about/frequently-asked-questions#laaws> (LOCKSS Architected as a Web Service). This award provides funding for hardware purchases related to node hosting for at least five geographically distributed hosts. Because the MDPN was founded with the intention to serve a wide variety of cultural memory organizations, including public libraries, historical societies, museums, and archives, we welcome anyone from any type of organization to attend this meeting and learn more about contributing to this new statewide initiative. Because of the interdepartmental nature of digital preservation, we encourage you to share this invitation with additional colleagues who will be essential to decision-making at your institution. Following the Digital Preservation Coalition’s<https://www.dpconline.org/> guidance regarding organizational collaboration, we recommend each institution have staff representation from administration, records management/digital collections, and IT present. We will also make the meeting recording available for viewing if key staff are unable to attend. To receive joining information and an FAQ document with more information about node hosting responsibilities, requirements, and benefits, please email me at denaultc(a)mcls.org<mailto:denaultc@mcls.org>. Thank you -- Chelsea Denault, Ph.D. Michigan Digital Preservation Network Coordinator Midwest Collaborative for Library Services www.MIpres.org<http://mipres.org/> [Logo]<http://mipres.org/>

Located in Middelburg, Netherlands, the ZB Bibliotheek van Zeeland (translation: Library of Zeeland) has a variety of different roles, including: * Official library of the province of Zeeland<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> * Academic library of University College Roosevelt<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> * Public library of Middelburg and Vlissingen It is the largest cultural institution in Zeeland and one of the Netherlands major libraries. As the provincial library of Zeeland, ZB Bibliotheek van Zeeland has many responsibilities that are similar to those of the Library of Michigan. Dr. Moree had the opportunity to tour the vast collections of the Library of Michigan as well as meet with several Library of Michigan staff. His trip also included a stop at the Joint Archives of Holland<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> at Hope College in Holland MI. A key reason for Dr. Moree's visit to Michigan is that ZB Bibliotheek van Zeeland is identifying collections of Dutch immigrant newspapers and letters held by American libraries/archives. Many Dutch immigrants from the province of Zeeland settled in areas of the American Midwest, including Michigan. The publications and correspondence of these immigrants provides great insight into their experiences in the United States as well as documents the stories of those who stayed behind in the Netherlands. The goal of the project is to work with institutions in the United States to develop a digitized collection that preserves this portion of the story of Zeeland.

Health Savings insurance plan question
by Lisa Waskin 18 Nov '22

Happy Friday everyone. I have a question for those libraries offering a HSA plan for their employees - How do you handle the employee contributions? Do you use a local bank? Does it go through your payroll? We will be offering this option for the upcoming year and I would like to hear about your experiences with this, what works best for you, what should we not do? This is the first time I have offered this at any of the libraries I have worked at, so #stilllearning! Thank you, Lisa Lisa Waskin, District Director Superior District Library 541 Library Drive Sault Sainte Marie, MI 49783 Ph.

Dearborn Public Library Zoom Talk with William Cohan RE:Power Failure
by Lodge, Daniel 17 Nov '22

17 Nov '22

Be sure to join us on Wednesday, November 30th at 6:30pm for a Zoom virtual talk with New York Times Best Selling Author William D. Cohan. Mr. Cohan's new book POWER FAILURE: The Rise and Fall of an American Icon covers the dramatic rise-and unimaginable fall-of America's most iconic corporation by New York Times bestselling author and pre-eminent financial journalist William D. Cohan<https://williamcohan.com/about/>. No company embodied American ingenuity, innovation, and industrial power more spectacularly and more consistently than the General Electric Company. The company embodied both the muscle of American business- entrepreneurial drive, inventiveness, financial legerdemain- and its weaknesses- unchecked egos, grandiosity, hubris, and corruption. The story of GE's glorious rise and distressing fall is not just the story of a finance powerhouse. It's a cautionary tale about blind ambition and trying to live up continuously to a flawed corporate mythology.

Writers' Market and similar publications
by Bradley Scott 17 Nov '22

17 Nov '22

MichLibbers, The website for Writers' Market (https://writersmarket.com/) looks dire for those who use Writers' Market and its sister publications (Poets' Market, Childrens' Writers and Illustrator" Market, etc.), or recommend them to library users. Other reports confirm that the online version appears defunct: https://medium.com/@thmeeks/writers-market-online-died-and-no-one-noticed-2… Does anyone know whether these publications will continue under the new ownership, either print or online? Or have a replacement to suggest, either regularly-updated print or online with an institutional (library/school) subscription option? There is Bloomsbury's Writers' and Artist's Yearbook, but it appears to be published in the UK. Does it have good enough US coverage to be useful for US freelancers and aspiring writers? Thanks for any information -- -- Bradley A. Scott, MLS Electronic Resources Librarian Mott Community College 1401 East Court Street Flint, Michigan 48503 810-762-0405 For current information about MCC’s reopening and Covid-19 protocols for Fall 2022, please visit: https://www.mcc.edu/reopen/index.shtml
