PostInformation on K12 state school library networks
by Paula Deal on Sun, 03/18/2012 - 2:44pmI am researching state by state what might me available in state networks to support K12 school libraries. Is there anything in your state similar to what we have in Ohio, INFOhio at http://www.infohio.org. INFOhio is an agency under our state department of education. It is similar to our public library network OPLIN and our academic library network OhioLINK. A few years back I did a survey and found nothing really similar. Some consortiums perhaps. Also, if you have such an organization, have services declined? Any info or details will be appreciated. Thanks.

PostOpen and Closing Keynoters
by Thomas Stream on Mon, 02/27/2012 - 7:04pmI'm in charge of finding opening and closing keynoters for our Michigan annual conference this coming November. We'd love the have each person on site for the keynote then at least a 1/2 day.
Does anyone have a suggestion of someone who was good and reasonably priced?
Our theme this year is "Enter Here and Learn."
Thanks for all your suggestions,

DiscussionCollecting Fines
by Laura Naugle on Tue, 12/20/2011 - 11:07amHI all,
I am a new librarian. I have a middle school and high school library (one library for both) that I am needing advise on.
We do 5 cent a day fines for overdue books and fines for lost books. I have over 268 fines printed today.
Can anyone give me advise on how they go about collecting these fines?
Thanks for any advise you might give!
Laura
