I have a patron looking for a public library that offers mac computers for public use. She has a school assignment that requires downloading some apple only software. I am going to look through the Mich-Lib archives to see if this was asked before. In the meantime, does anyone know if/where macs are available to the public? Thanks!

Recorded presentation about social media policies and practices
by Kristin Fontichiaro 21 Sep '22

21 Sep '22

Hello, everyone! I am delighted to share with you a link to a presentation about social media practices and policies led by Thomas Fladung of Hennes Communications, an Ohio crisis management firm. He spoke with a small group about creating good social media policies, some basics on responding to social media unpleasantness, the return of yellow journalism, and common-sense information literacy practices we can use -- and share with our patrons as well! Most of us in LibraryLand are great generalists, but it is really useful to hear from someone who specializes in responding to unpleasantness and crises in the social media square, so I hope this presentation will bring you some encouragement and support as we all work to strengthen our institution's role in the community. - YouTube video <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFBCgQ_jz-0> - Unedited transcript of the presentation <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gXQH4qF9gQG_jBm_YB4GRxJgouYD32Ik75Zil3E…> - Chat transcript <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bl6xkBTX1CmkqT7LaiOUGAvCAwEC0IsNh_ffL10…> - Link to the Hennes Communication twice-monthly newsletter if interested <https://www.crisiscommunications.com/expertise/newsletters/> You are welcome to share the links with staff, board members, colleagues, etc., and to share with me any feedback you have! This presentation was made possible in part by the Library of Michigan, the Library of Michigan Foundation, the Institute of Museum and Library Services, and the University of Michigan School of Information.
