Library Science Collection
If you haven’t had the chance to check it out yet, the Library of Michigan has a
Library Science collection that serves all librarians and library types. You can find information on managing computers in libraries, supervising staff or volunteers, developing your library collection, managing digital collections, curriculum, fundraising
to enhance your budget, facilities management, serving special populations of patrons, standards for school libraries, etc.
Some new titles are:
Anyone can borrow the materials through MeLCat or interlibrary loan. To find items, search the Library of Michigan's catalog,
ANSWER, by topic, or browse the
Library Science Collection. If you don’t find what you need, feel free to suggest a purchase to me. Use the collection to improve your services and learn new ideas. Pass the word about it to your colleagues!
Diverse Book Finders is an amazing (free) tool that will provide an analysis of existing collections to determine the degree of diversity present for children's books. The
free webinar will take place on October 8, 2019. Please share if you know of school librarians/children's librarians in need of strategic planning for increasing the diversity in their collections. http://maine.evanced.info/signup/EventDetails?EventId=5199
Do you feel it is important to have a diverse children's collection, but don't always know where to start?
Join the Diverse BookFinder as we walk you through how to use our new Collection Analysis Tool (CAT), specifically designed to help you diversify your picture book collection! This free, online resource allows you to upload a single
file and get a snapshot of who is represented -- and how -- in your collection. The CAT is funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services and will go live on October 1st. Participants will learn how to use the CAT and how to use the resulting report
in combination with the Diverse BookFinder Search Tool to drive collection-based decisions. Finally, we will discuss the role of librarians in carefully reviewing books to build authentic and inclusive library collections that counter bias and promote cultural
pluralism.
