Outraged? You bet I am. Since when is teaching kids the correct word for
something a crime? And won't approximately 1/2 the readers of this book
have a scrotum of their own? How about if we just ban this book from little
girls?

Hello, Jessica Simpson-thankfully you are not THAT Jessica....is it just me
or are
you outraged that in 2007 such a word would lead to so much trouble???
I am a library student at Long Island University, Palmer School, and new to
all of
this library stuff-but I, myself am not new - a returning student, I like to
say. Just
wondering what the professionals are thinking!

Herrick has two buildings, 72k sq ft and 5k sq ft.
Combined we have over 130 pcs. There is myself, Head of Technical and
Automated Services and one lib asst II who provides the actual support. I
plan, schedule, etc. We just migrated to a new server and switches so I will
get additional training. So we have two full time staff, really 1.25 fte.

In March of 2006 we added my position, Deputy Director/Systems Librarian. I
am in charge of all the technology for the library system. This is 6
branches over 300 square miles. Our population is around 55,000.00 and we
have 48 Public Access Computers and 31 Staff/Circulation computers. I am
way overloaded with these duties in addition to those of Deputy Director.
But I do have some help as the staff/circ computers are managed by the IT
staff of our consortium as is our ILS. I believe our library system needs a
dedicated IT staff person.

>>Has anyone in library land done a survey when you are moving from one
structure to a
newer, more modern one?
We did our first (now biennail) Service Survey precisely because the library
had had a large! addition put on it, the whole old gutted and modernized,
etc. We wanted to see both what the public thought and if they knew about
all the new services/places available to them in the new facility. (They
didn't.) We always administer survey both in tree-base (aka, paper) and via
SurveyMonkey (tho' online returns have fallen steadily with each of the
three surveys.)
2002 Survey info http://www.mclib.info/results.html
2004 Survey http://www.mclilb.info/survey/
In non-stop attempt to inform public about the utter coolness of their
library we've also just begun a podcast feed of selections from our music
concerts and put up a video tour of the facility.

Pamela,
I absolutely think a library of that size should have a dedicated IT
person. I have been in IT in public libraries for about 6.5 years now.
I worked in a public library serving a community of about that size,
although we had closer to 75 or 80 computers in total. I and one other
IT person supported the technology there - though I also have an MLIS,
so I worked reference and did other things there too. Currently, I'm at
a library serving a larger community (close to 100,000) and we have
about 150 computers and a dozen servers in total. I am the IT Manager,
and I have 2 part-time people that help support the IT there, and I
could use more help at times. We do use a consultant for special
projects.
Technology in libraries is critical to the success of the library in
this day and age. And the use of technology in libraries is
specialized. We have public customers that come in every day and get on
our network and use our resources. And our customers are demanding
about the technology support they want. We need to provide support for
the latest and greatest technology without compromising the security of
our own networks. We need to be able to manage the computers and the
networks from a central location and have the right tools for the job.
The technology needs to integrate with our library's ILS...and on and
on.
There are just so many components to effectively managing technology in
libraries, especially public libraries. I'm a big advocate for having
the appropriate staff to support your library's technology.

My 'title' in our library system is Patron Technical Assistant (am I the
only
one - or are there others out there?). What is funny is one line in the job
description I was given - let the library technician (aka cataloguer,
finance, supplies, etc) know if something computery breaks down. However, I
am basically network manager/tech co-ordinator in all but name! I am
responsible for about 40 public & 20 staff computers over 2 libraries & 1
bookmobile (which has pesky satellite internet on it - I've been fighting
with it for too long!) serving about 50000. If something breaks - I get
called. If the director hears a tech buzzword - I investigate. If we need
new
equipment - I buy it. When it arrives - I install it. I also am the library
webmaster, teacher of computer classes, situated at the reference desk (with
a fairly busy phone!), internet room babysitter...... the list goes on. I am
full time as far as hours go - what happens in that time varies from day to
day!

I second everything Karen says below and I would like to add that if we only
had more staff we could really shine! Right now we have no way to offer
training to our customers and we can barely do it for staff. There are so
many programs I would like to have at our library or even take on the road
but there is only one of me and so little time. Technology in libraries is
only going to grow and I believe that for libraries to stay relevant and be
the heart of their community (that is my personal goal for our library), we
must evaluate, offer and train in technologies.

It seems that starting librarians in Virginia's Blackwater Regional Library
System are paid the stunning salary of $21,280. ALA Councilor and ALA
Presidential Candidate Jim Rettig has sent a letter of protest to the
Newport News
Daily Press. You can read the letter here:

In his letter Rettig mentions the new minimum salary level for librarians
recently approved by ALA-APA Council. Thanks Jim. This is exactly what we
need in our leadership.

Hello,
I am an MLS student at Southern Connecticut State University, and am
currently enrolled in Reference and Information Services.
We are currently studying the reference interview process. This is my
first exposure to remote reference services and I was curious as to how many
"small" public libraries offer virtual reference services, how difficult it
was to establish the service, and how successful the service is.
Any information or anecdotes you have to share would be greatly
appreciated. If you have statistics on how frequently the service is
utilized, and the types of questions (ready vs. research) you receive, that
would also be helpful.
Thank you for your time.

SAN FRANCISCO (Feb. 17) - An asteroid may come uncomfortably close to Earth
in 2036 and the United Nations should assume responsibility for a space
mission to deflect it, a group of astronauts, engineers and scientists said
on
Saturday. Astronomers are monitoring an asteroid named Apophis, which has
a 1
in 45,000 chance of striking Earth on April 13, 2036.

How interesting. Here's how one library coped with a similar problem:

The saddest thing is that it's the librarians who want to ban it. Are we
soon to ban any medical word referring to the human body? Scrotum???? Geez,
who are these people anyway?
Up there with the librarians who colored pants on the kid in In the Night

specifically designed to aid in planning children's
and family programming at libraries. Topics have

rhythm and rhyme storytelling, and presenting picture

consultant for publishers; and Susan Raab, President

Pro-Act Technologies is technical consultant.
What attendees said about previous Authors as Experts
Web Seminars:
This was a thoughtful and well-prepared presentation.
I only wished it was a little longer.
I thought this one was great. While I said the length
was perfect, I could have listened to this topic much
longer and not been bored!
I learned a lot that I will be able to incorporate
into my story times and be able to use to teach my
kids.

If you're in the St. Louis area Feb. 23-25 check out the St. Louis Stamp
Expo
[ http://www.regencystamps.com/PressRelease/20070124.htm ]. I will have two
exhibts of postal librariana on display [
http://www.libraryhistorybuff.org/philatelicexhibit.htm ]. The library
historical exhibit has a substantial portion devoted to the history of
public libraries and their predecessors and how they used the mail. The expo
is great fun with hundreds of exhibits and stamp dealers plus a special
historical display on the history of the St. Louis Fire Department which is
celebrating its 150th anniversary.
