Subject: [Michlib-l] MeL database evaluation process: trial and review today!
Hello everyone!
In case you did not know, the Michigan eLibrary databases are all going out for new contracts. We received bids from many vendors, and have already made our first cut based on technical requirements. We have 11 remaining vendors and even more databases to sort through. As such, we are going through an evaluation period with trial access to the databases. We would like your help to review these databases and your input on how helpful (or not) each database would be for your patrons.
Everything that is related to the MeL database RFP evaluation is contained within a Google Doc, but a few quick information for the interested:
- Each vendor had a recorded webinar which is posted in the trial document. You do not need a login to access the recordings.
- The evaluation period goes until April 20th at 11:59pm
- The evaluation survey is lengthy but only 5 questions are absolutely required (three at the beginning and two at the end). The rest just helps us with our justifications. The required questions are:
- Full name, library, and email address
- Library type
- Product name and name of vendor
- Would you recommend this product for purchase (Y/N)
- Please summarize your evaluation in one paragraph
Feel free to send any questions or comments my way!
Best,
Kathy

Subject: [Michlib-l] Visual Merchandising for Public Libraries: Practical Strategies for Applying Bookstore Insights to Library Collections (InfoPeople webinar)
Does your library struggle to promote its collection in a way that is attractive, maintainable, and - above all - successful at increasing circulation? This webinar aims to supply librarians with the knowledge, tools, and plans necessary to merchandise their own libraries.
Visual merchandising is not just a tool for retail establishments. When done well, it can create a dynamic environment that encourages the customer to stay longer, check out more materials, and return for more. Public libraries can embrace the knowledge that retail stores have long used by taking some basic steps and applying some simple principles to organize library materials in a way that attracts attention and promotes use.
At the end of this one-hour webinar, participants will:
. Learn the importance of library material presentation through visual
merchandising in terms of customer reactions and expectations, as well as cultural trends
. Understand which changes to library merchandising should be
considered to positively affect circulation and how to begin implementing those changes
. Understand the basic principles of visual merchandising in a way
that is specifically complimentary to books and other library materials
. Be familiar with potential challenges and solutions that are
inherent in the diverse buildings, shelving, staffing levels, and amount of materials owned by different libraries

Voter Perceptions of Libraries: Getting from Awareness to Funding in 2018
Tuesday, April 17, 2018 ♦ 3:00 pm Eastern / 12:00 pm Pacific ♦ 60 minutes
Registration: https://www.webjunction.org/
events/webjunction/voter- perceptions-of-libraries.html
In 2008, OCLC published >From Awareness to Funding: A Study of Library Support in America, a study of the awareness, attitudes, and underlying motivations among US voters for supporting library funding. The research dispelled long-held assumptions and provided eye-opening insights about who supports public library funding and for what reasons. A decade later, OCLC has partnered with PLA and the ALA Office for Library Advocacy to investigate perceptions and support among US voters today, and how they may have shifted in the intervening years. In this session, presenters will share key findings and analysis from summary report (due to be released in late March); provide new details on library super supporters and probable supporters in context with other library trends and research; and kickstart the discussion on how library leaders and advocates can act on these findings.
Presented by: Marci Merola, Director, American Library Association Office for Library Advocacy; Larra Clark, Deputy Director, ALA Office for Information Technology Policy and the Public Library Association; and Sharon Streams, Director, WebJunction, OCLC Research
Webinar Series: Evaluating and Sharing Your Library's Impact

Building a Culture of Learning with Library Boards
Thursday, May 24, 2018 ♦ 3:00 pm Eastern / 12:00 pm Pacific ♦ 60 minutes
Registration: https://www.webjunction.org/
events/webjunction/culture-of- learning-library-boards.html
Libraries that cultivate a culture of learning encourage their staff to participate in continuing education. But shouldn't this learning culture also extend to library boards? At the State Library of Iowa, we say yes! Trustees can and should play a key role in fostering a culture of learning at their libraries—beginning with themselves. When library boards embrace a learning culture, they become more receptive to supporting continuing education, in policy, planning, and budgeting. This webinar presents ideas for growing board learning into a blossoming culture that motivates board members to see education and training as a natural part of their trusteeship.
Presented by: Bonnie McKewon, Consultant, State Library of Iowa, Northwest District
Free access to these webinars are brought to you, in part, by the Institute of Museum & Library Services.
