Library Digital Image Program Available for Public Libraries - Available for Winter, Spring & Summer 2023
by Corey Seeman 24 Oct '22

24 Oct '22

I hope you are all well on this beautiful day in Michigan. I would like to continue to make available to the Michigan Library community (and others) on managing and organizing digital pictures. I presented this program a number of times during September and October in both virtual and in-person (IRL) formats. In the past, I was only making this available for Michigan libraries - but I could open this up for any public library as long as the logistics & timing worked out. So please feel free to share this with others. And I am happy to expand to libraries elsewhere - as long as the timing works. Here is the program information: - Title: Managing Digital Images: Finding, Saving, Sharing and Organizing The Pictures of Your Life! - Presenter: Corey Seeman (Director, Kresge Library Services, Ross School of Business - University of Michigan) - cseeman(a)umich.edu - Corey's flickr page - https://www.flickr.com/photos/cseeman/ - Corey's personal website: https://www.squirreldude.com/ - Program page (including the most recent slidedeck used for this presentation and previous locations): https://www.squirreldude.com/photography-programs. I have been updating the slides a few times since September to reflect the ever changing environment of photo storage on the web. Program Description: Seems that everyone is a photographer these days. We use our smartphones, our tablets, and even some people even use cameras. With the ease of taking pictures, we find ourselves with a new concern. How do we manage, save and share these pictures? This program will introduce you to photo sharing services that are available from companies such as Google, Apple, facebook and flickr (among others) and how to organize them for easy retrieval. We will look at ways organize, backup and share pictures with friends and family. We will also explore how images are found by others (using tags or search terms), if you want to share more broadly. This could be the perfect session if you want to do something with all those pictures on your phone or clogging up your SD card! --end-- Realistically, I would be happy to do this virtually anywhere and could schedule anytime over the next year or so. I would also be happy to do this in-person if you are relatively close to Ann Arbor & Ypsilanti. There would not be any charge for a virtual presentation. I had lots of fun presenting on this topic and would be happy to do it again for your community. Best wishes as we wrap up 2022 and look forward to 2023! Best - Corey Corey Seeman Director, Kresge Library Services & Librarian ( http://www.bus.umich.edu/kresgelibrary/) Stephen M.

Responsibilities: The Library Director oversees program planning, directing, and integrating library programs and departments; establishes internal library policies and procedures; assists in the development and planning of the library budget and funding; controls library expenditures; recruits and assigns new employees, supervises work, and establishes work schedules; and prepares and oversees the preparation of clear, accurate, and informative narrative and statistical reports.

Rules for staff when booking programming/community room
by Jesse Shirtz 24 Oct '22

24 Oct '22

Hello hive mind! Does anyone have a framework they're willing to share for staff regarding how they take reservations for a room that's available for public use? Do you have restrictions for groups/individuals who want to meet repeatedly for a determined or undetermined length of time? How far in advance must they reserve the space? What other parameters are taken into account? Thank you for your help! I would love to not have to start from scratch on creating this for our library. 🙂 Sincerely, Jesse Shirtz Library Director Ishpeming Carnegie Public Library 317 N.
