Have any of you awesome librarians been on the SAM.gov website to replace your DUNS number for applying for grants? I'm having a heck of a time entering Core data, as the site will not allow me to move forward. The help desk is practically non-existent. Have any of you had success???

SAM.gov and UEI
by Reish, Karren (MDE) 26 Jan '22

26 Jan '22

I am sorry to hear that the process of getting the UEI numbers has been difficult. The UEI Identification Numbers Overview<https://www.michigan.gov/documents/libraryofmichigan/Identification_Numbers…> on the LM site has basic instructions. For issues beyond these instructions, the Federal Service Desk<https://www.fsd.gov/gsafsd_sp/?id=gsa_landing> has additional information including videos and FAQs. Karren Reish Library Grants Coordinator 517-241-0021 From: Michlib-l <michlib-l-bounces(a)mcls.org> On Behalf Of Library Director via Michlib-l Sent: Wednesday, January 26, 2022 1:53 PM To: Joyce Gendron <books(a)wcomco.net>; Joyce Gendron via Michlib-l <michlib-l(a)mcls.org> Subject: Re: [Michlib-l] zv-341 SAM.gov CAUTION: This is an External email. Please send suspicious emails to abuse(a)michigan.gov<mailto:abuse@michigan.gov> I have been trying to register my library for a few days. At first the issue was with Dun & Bradstreet, as they had the former name of our library in their system. That was quickly changed to the current name but that change hasn't been reflected in SAM. I have tried the chat box for help, but it clocks out if you don't respond in 1-3 minutes. It is very frustrating as I was looking for the information they needed to help me and that's why it clocked out. I have a ticket in with them but have heard nothing. At this point, I think I have to clear my schedule to get this fixed.

An Infopeople Webinar: We Are NOT Okay: Library Worker Trauma Before and During COVID-19 and What Happens After
by Lancaster, Cathy (MDE) 26 Jan '22

26 Jan '22

We Are NOT Okay: Library Worker Trauma Before and During COVID-19 and What Happens After An Infopeople Webinar February 8, 2022 1:00 PM-2:00 PM ET Trauma is an emotional response to a terrible event... Immediately after the event, shock and denial are typical. Longer term reactions include unpredictable emotions, flashbacks, strained relationships and even physical symptoms like headaches or nausea. While these feelings are normal, some people have difficulty moving on with their lives. -- American Psychological Association The emotional investment that many library workers have in the profession and the community expectations regarding the library's pandemic response have left many library workers experiencing trauma with very few places to turn for support. This perfect storm of circumstances has made it clear: library staff are at a crisis point. This webinar for ALL library workers - frontline staff, managers, and library directors - will serve as a convening to discuss the impact trauma has on library staff, work toward addressing the necessary systemic change and need for a cultural shift, and explore potential individual, organizational, and industry response strategies. Join us to consider how libraries might rethink delivery of essential library services to communities in need while ensuring a safe environment and resources to support personal well-being for staff. This webinar will be recorded and available the following day on the Infopeople Webinar Archives page: https://infopeople.org/training/view/webinar/archived Webinars are free of charge, you can pre-register by clicking on the Register Now button on this page. If you pre-registered you will receive an email with login link and a reminder email the day before the event. Panelists: Leah Esguerra, Social Worker Supervisor, San Francisco Public Library; Michelle Jeske, City Librarian, Denver Public Library; Andrea Lemoins, Outreach Coordinator, Free Library of Philadelphia; Christian Zabriskie, Library Director, Onondaga County Public Libraries.

Getting a Level 3 or 4 Library Staff Certification Now Made Easier
by White, Shannon (MDE) 25 Jan '22

25 Jan '22

This year the Library of Michigan released the first version of the Beginning Workshop online. This new self-paced, online format allows any Michigan library staff member that wants to obtain a Level 3 or a Level 4 Library Staff Certification the ability to do it without the need to cover the cost of travel and lodging that comes with attending an on-site training event. Any member of the library community is welcome to apply for Library of Michigan Library Staff Certification. There is no application fee. To learn more about how to apply for Library Staff Certification visit the LM website at www.michigan.gov/librarycertification<http://www.michigan.gov/librarycertification> You will find an online fillable PDF that you can complete and email to our certification office at LM-LibCertification(a)michigan.gov<mailto:LM-LibCertification@michigan.gov> After you apply you will need to complete the remaining steps to finish your application packet, including completion of the Beginning Workshop online course, providing letters indicating hours of library work, and either a college transcript sent from degree granting institution or your high school diploma. Once all the parts of your application are received and completed LM will process your application. Beginning Workshop<https://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/0,9327,7-381-88855_89737-308787-…> - A newly released online version of a previous in person training event now available for any library staff without a MLS needing to meet certification requirements for Levels 3 & 4. If your library needs you to be certified in order to obtain State Aid funding and you were unable to complete your certification application because LM did not hold the event in 2020 or 2021 you will need to complete the course by March 1. If your library is not in this situation you can take this course whenever you apply for certification. Please remember completing the course does NOT mean you are certified. You must apply for the certification via an application and provide the necessary documentation required. You do not need to notify LM you completed this course. We can see completion records on the back end of our Niche system. TIP! Those required to complete this course should create only one profile in the Niche system to complete the lessons. If you complete individual pieces under different logins you will not be able to complete the entire pathway and receive your certificate without taking the individual parts multiple times. Questions about Certification? LM-LibraryCertification(a)michigan.gov<mailto:LM-LibraryCertification@michigan.gov> Questions about Training? LM-LibTraining(a)michigan.gov<mailto:LM-LibTraining@michigan.gov> This project was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
