Hi, Michlib community, We are getting ready to open our renovated library with a new RFID system and have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to do a full inventory on our newly-converted collection. HOWEVER, Bibliotheca cannot supply us with an RFID inventory wand (that they call a mobile DLA, I think) because their manufacturer has dropped the ball. Bibliotheca has said that if we could borrow a wand, we could reprogram it for our collection, then reprogram it back when we return it to the lending institution. Any help out there? We will pick up. Kay ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Kay Schwartz Director of Library Services, Flint Public Library 1026 E.

Director - Ann Arbor District Library (MI) The Ann Arbor District Library (AADL) Board of Trustees seeks its next Director to lead the organization and find imaginative ways to meet the challenges of a 21st-century library. Having received the Library Journal 5-Star Award since the award's inception in 2008, AADL is committed to providing excellent library service to its vocal and passionate customers in whatever form that takes. AADL continues to expand the scope of library services in its vision to develop literate and informed citizens through open and equal access to cultural, intellectual, recreational, and information resources.

The 7-member Board is elected at large to represent the almost 165,000 residents of the service district. The next Director will lead AADL's approximately 220 staff with an $18 million budget generated from a stable perpetual local property tax millage which is funded by the City of Ann Arbor and parts or all of the following townships: Ann Arbor, Superior, Pittsfield, Lodi, Scio, and Webster.

The greater Ann Arbor area is home to 24 neighborhoods, providing amenities and opportunities to get the best of small-town living with the convenience of big city moments.

CMU Libraries and the Clarke Historical Library Announce New Director
by Irwin, Kathy Maureen 13 Jan '22

13 Jan '22

Carrie L. Marsh has been named the director of the Clarke Historical Library of Central Michigan University. She begins her duties on February 14. The announcement was made by Kathy Irwin, dean of University Libraries. A nationwide search was conducted after the August 2021 retirement of Frank Boles, who served as Clarke’s director for more than 30 years. Marsh comes from The Claremont Colleges Library in Claremont, California, where she has served as director of Special Collections and Libraries since 2014. Her tenure in the Claremont consortium included library assistant director and head of special collections, reference librarian for the Denison Library, and special collections librarian for the Honnold/Mudd Library. Marsh is a proud CMU alum, earning a B.A. in English and Art History in 1984, followed by a Master’s in Literature in 1986. She was a student assistant for the Park Library during her undergraduate and graduate studies. She has a Master’s in Library Science with an emphasis on special collections librarianship from the University of Arizona. “Carrie has excellent management experience, has a track record of developing successful partnerships with college faculty, and has demonstrated a thorough understanding of DEI needs and opportunities in archives and special collections. I look forward to working with her as she advances the mission and vision of the Clarke Historical Library,” said Irwin, who led a search committee that included current faculty, library staff, and members of the Clarke Historical Library Board of Governors. Among Marsh’s professional achievements: a collaboration that began in 2012 with Laura Stalker, former deputy director of the Huntington Library in San Marino, California, to teach a course for the California Rare Book School about history, theory and practice of special collections librarianship, and, a key role in writing and collaboratively implementing a $333,574 three-year Digitizing Special Hidden Collections from a Council on Library and Information Resources grant with Pomona College and five Southern California libraries (public and academic) and the National Archives and Records Administration in Riverside, California. The “Digitizing Southern California Water Resources” project digitized materials from federal, state, and local governments, water companies, local agencies, engineers, and individuals involved in water development in the Southern California region from the 19th through the 20th centuries. The Clarke Historical Library, founded in 1954 by a gift from Dr. Norman E. Clarke, Sr., collects, preserves, and promotes nationally recognized collections, that include the history of Michigan and the Old Northwest Territory, the history of Central Michigan University, and selected topics including children's literature, campaign biographies of U.S. presidential candidates, the history of angling, and historic Michigan newspapers. The Clarke serves the needs of the CMU community, fosters scholarly activity through its collections and exhibits, and strengthens community partnerships through an active outreach program.
