THE HIGH STRUNG are coming! Message-ID: <3c7438853e8a36f7d020e1458f954aec.squirrel@secure.goldmaninternet.com> Are you looking for a high-energy, summer reading program? For the past five years the quirky, carefree, energetic music of Detroit's The High Strung has been electrifying patrons across the nation with their sunny three-part harmonies and witty, lyrical bravado. This year the guitars that accompany the band?s catchy sing-along choruses are roaming the country again, headed in your direction, and the show is only getting better. Hailed by Rolling Stone magazine, the New York Times, and Village Voice as one of the best rock & roll bands in America, NPR?s Ken Tucker named The High Strung's debut album These Are Good Times as one of the Top 10 Rock Records of 2003. The band?s videos have been seen on MTV, including full features in Entertainment Weekly, Magnet, Harp, and Spin magazines. In August of 2006, in a segment touting the Library Tour, The High Strung was also featured on National Public Radio's This American Life. To listen go to http://www.thisamericanlife.org/pages/descriptions/05/294.html In addition to playing a full-set of their rousing Beatlesque jams, concert goers will learn what it?s like to tour year-round and what sort of enthusiasm it takes to maintain such faith in your art. With a new album coming out on Park the Van Records in spring 2009, The High Strung will perform a mix of favorites and new tunes, as well as writing and performing a new song at each location with the help of the audience. With more than 200 appearances at libraries in 48 states since 2005, the Rock & Roll Library Tour is a proven way to draw reluctant users into the library, often bringing crowds numbering in the hundreds to the most buzzed about event of the summer. Librarians note, ?The guys were so engaging with the crowd. It was quite literally a traffic stopping performance? and the tour ?took our summer programming to a completely new level.? For more information or to book the band for your library, call Bill Harmer of The Black River Group at (734) 612-5405 or e-mail bharmer at blackriverintl.com.

The various projects outlined in this website are designed create jobs and improve quality of life for citizens of Indiana. The federal government's stimulus website claims to give Americans a sense of ownership and transparency for their tax dollars. Indiana's version seeks to obtain the same goal - transparency in government spending. In these times, it is critical that citizens receive timely information in order to be well prepared and educated, not only on our local economy, but the national economy as well. INvest Indiana will to connect Hoosiers to programs and resources, and provide information about funding of projects as it becomes available. Women's History Month Goes Green in March Since 1987, March has been designated as Women's History Month. This year's theme is "Women taking the lead to save our planet" to honor women who have taken initiative in environmental or "green" programs throughout history. Rachel Carson , author of Silent Spring, serves as the model for the theme. However, there are countless other women who have worked to further both environmentalism and other causes. This month is meant to honor all of them. For a list of honorees, see America.gov's women's history page . The official website of Women's History Month features images, audio and video presentations, profiles of well-known and important women, and Teachers' Guides. There are also links to exhibits and collections at the Library of Congress, the National Archives, and several national museums. In addition, there is information about national events commemorating the month. There are also events going on in the State of Indiana. These can be found on the Indiana Commission on Women's (ICW) website . Two featured events are the Women's History Month luncheon and lecture at Franklin College and the Stepping Stones of Women in Leadership luncheon at IUPUI . Of course, there are also events going on in the rest of the state - one such is the Women's History luncheon in Bloomington , at the Bloomington-Monroe County Convention Center. The ICW is also a good resource for women around the state. Here they can find information on financial information and legal assistance. Additional statistical information on women in general can be found on the Census Bureau's Facts for Features . For example, it is projected that 928,000 women will earn bachelor's degrees in the 2008-2009 school year. This is 58% of all bachelor's degrees being awarded. National Nutrition Month Kicks Off "Eat Right!" Campaign Get back to the basics and help celebrate American Dietetic Association's National Nutrition Month . The theme for this year is "Eat Right!" For help encouraging community members and families to be kind to their bodies, search the Nutrition Fact Sheets covering many different topics such as 25 Healthy Snacks for Kids , Get Smart about Salt , and Healthy Eating on the Run. Visit Nutrition.gov , a service of the National Agriculture Library (USDA), for the trusted food pyramid, an updated resource list for Weight Management and Obesity , and much more.

The address is 220 N Union St. Sorry not techno savvy with Google maps so here are directions. 1) If coming from south of Kokomo, you will travel a fair distance through Kokomo on 31. Look for an intersection with Gas Barn/Tire Barn and Shell station on the left. That is Sycamore St. and turn left (west). You will go about two miles and pass underneath a railroad bridge with Welcome to Kokomo sign. Look for Apperson Way. The next street will be Market St. Turn right (north) on Market. Go 2 blocks. The library parking lot is on the northwest corner of Market and Mulbery. There is also a parking lot across the street on Market. Walk around (one block west) to Union and the library entrance. 2) If traveling from the north on US 31, look for an intersection with Gas Barn/Tire Barn and Shell station on the right. That is Sycamore St. and turn right (west). You will go about two miles and pass underneath a railroad bridge with Welcome to Kokomo sign. Look for Apperson Way. The next street will be Market St. Turn right (north) on Market. Go 2 blocks. The library parking lot is on the northwest corner of Market and Mulbery. There is also a parking lot across the street on Market. Walk around (one block west) to Union and the library entrance. 3) If traveling from the west, you can travel on 26 to 31 and follow #1 above. Or you can take 29 north to 22 and go east. 22 will become Sycamore St. in Kokomo. When you hit downtown Kokomo, Sycamore becomes one way and you will be forced to turn on Washington. Turn left (north). Go one block and turn right on Walnut. Take Walnut to Market and turn left. Go 2 blocks. The library parking lot is on the northwest corner of Market and Mulbery.

The Amber alerts program began in 1997 using radio as its primary means of dissemination. Today, Amber Alerts have gone high-tech, to include television, websites, and electronic highway signs. You can sign up for free Amber alerts on your cell phone; it's quick and may help save a child's life. ------------------------------- Friday Facts is a production of the Indiana State Library Friday Facts Editorial Team: Katharine Springer State Data Center Coordinator Elisabeth O'Donnell Federal Documents Librarian & Kim Brown-Harden State Documents Coordinator Join the FDPL listserv to get the latest government information Congress in the Classroom Program Seeks Applicants Congress in the Classroom is a program designed to instruct teachers on new methods of teaching about Congress and the United States Government. The program is sponsored by the Dirksen Congressional Center and held in Peoria, Illinois for three days in late July. High school and middle school teachers who teach history, social studies, government or political science are encouraged to apply. The application deadline is April 15, 2009 and forty participants will be selected. While this program is designed for teachers rather than librarians, libraries may be interested in posting this for any teachers in their community. Those who are not selected for the workshop can also learn about new teaching techniques via the online edition . Children and young adults may be interested in the Dirksen Center's Congress for Kids website . This interactive site uses activities and fun illustrations to teach kids about Congress. Of course, both the Senate and the House of Representatives have their own websites, both of which provide access to current legislation, as well as information about members of Congress and the history of the institutions. For more information on Congress in the Classroom, please see the Dirksen Center's information sheet . YUCK! Poison Prevention Week Starts Next Week March 15-21 2009 marks Nati onal Poison Prevention Week . More than 2 million poisonings are reported to poison control centers each year. Most of these cases that are non-fatal occur among children under the age of six. National Poison Prevention Week was designed to inform the public about the prevalence of accidental poisonings in the home and elsewhere, and to shed light on ways to prevent such events from happening. The Poison Prevention Week Council, which was established by Congress in 1961, provides a handy list of materials that discuss the dangers of various poisons - whether they be plants, medicines, lead or pesticides. Many of these materials are downloadable and most are free. The US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) also provides a list of publications discussing poison prevention. All of these can be downloaded. Check out the Center for Disease Control's website for additional publications. They provide access to governmental reports on poison prevention. The website also includes a link to the CDC's Podcast on poisonings. Finally, as summer draws near, adults, children and animals all have easier access to pesticides. Visit the EPA's website on pesticide safety for more information. Local Unemployment Data Available Through STATS Are you looking for the latest employment data for your county or metro area?

The animal control person asked my staffer if she was going to get books out of the box. She replied she was. He stated that she better let him open the box because they received a report that there was an animal in the book box. So, the staffer unlocked the box and the animal control guy pulled out the cart. It was... it was... a big mouse puppet! I guess this made the scanner because now we're getting calls from amused patrons asking about the critter in our book box. The patron who made the report to the police thought it was a dead cat. She called to apologize for her mistake, but we were all so busy chuckling about it, we told her not to worry.

Date: Thu, 19 Mar 2009 18:23:40 -0400 Subject: [INCOLSA-L] FW: News Release - OCLC and U.S. Regional Service Providers work together to improve service efficiencies to lower costs for libraries Message-ID: FOR MORE INFORMATION: Bob Murphy +1-614-761-5136 murphyb at oclc.org OCLC and U.S. Regional Service Providers work together to improve service efficiencies to lower costs for libraries DUBLIN, Ohio, March 19, 2009-OCLC and its network of U.S. Regional Service Providers are implementing new programs designed to increase value and reduce overall service costs for OCLC member libraries. These new infrastructure and service design changes are intended to make it possible for most OCLC members to see flat or reduced cost levels for OCLC service for the next fiscal year. These service cost savings, in combination with OCLC's goal to keep product prices at current levels, will help libraries face the challenges brought on by the current economic downturn. The new service initiatives, developed by OCLC and its network of U.S. Regional Service Providers over the last 24 months, include: streamlined billing statements; more account information online; simplified account administration; a centralized training calendar offering easy access to national training and education opportunities and strengthened product support infrastructure. The programs are designed to take full advantage of current technologies and collaborative programs, to enhance access to OCLC products and services and to improve cost efficiencies for libraries. OCLC and its U.S. Regional Service Providers continue to strive to deliver consistent, high-quality services to all member libraries, regardless of location, size or type. OCLC was created with the idea that libraries can do more by working together than they could ever do by themselves. This is particularly important in difficult economic times. "The OCLC cooperative, and the services we distribute with our partners, can offer practical solutions to help libraries continue to offer outstanding service to their users during this economic crisis," said Jay Jordan, OCLC President and CEO. "Our strategy to build Web-scale shared services and to help libraries move their workflows to the Web has acquired even greater urgency. OCLC will continue to innovate in order to deliver more value for the participants in the OCLC cooperative." "We are working closely with OCLC and our other partners to find new services and new efficiencies that can hold our costs down while continuing to meet the needs of our member libraries," said Bonnie Juergens, Executive Director of Amigos, an OCLC-affiliated network based in Dallas, Texas. OCLC continues to look for additional opportunities to increase value to libraries. Last month, OCLC announced that it will expand the FirstSearch Base Package service to include ArchiveGrid, CAMIO and OAIster databases, as well as the new CONTENTdm Quick Start digital management software, all at no additional charge to subscribers. These additions will provide libraries access to more digital resources that draw attention to libraries' unique online presence, and provide the tools needed to expose digital collections through WorldCat to the rest of the world. For more information about OCLC services and value, visit www.oclc.org . About OCLC Founded in 1967 and headquartered in Dublin, Ohio, OCLC is a nonprofit library service and research organization that has provided computer-based cataloging, reference, resource sharing, eContent, preservation, library management and Web services to 69,000 libraries in 112 countries and territories. OCLC and its member libraries worldwide have created and maintain WorldCat, the world's richest online resource for finding library materials. Search WorldCat.org on the Web at www.worldcat.org .

President Obama has signed a Presidential Proclamation for 2009, which details the services offered by the organization: "supporting our military and their families, collecting and distributing blood, helping the needy, delivering health and safety education, and providing aid abroad." The Red Cross website and the Red Cross Chat blog offer real-time disaster updates and information about assisting within your community. Under Your Local Red Cross (right-hand side of the main website), enter your zip code for local offices and blood drive locations. You can even donate online or shop for Reference Guides in the Red Cross store . IndianaMap Turned 52 on March 18 ...Fifty-two Indiana counties sharing data with IndianaMap, that is, according to a recent press release from the Indiana Geographic Information Council. IndianaMap is an electronic statewide map for Indiana. It is used to help manage things such as hiking trails, business development, and highway construction projects. It is particularly valuable in emergency response and recovery efforts. If you've ever searched for something on Google Maps, it's highly likely that the aerial photography came from IndianaMap. The state Geographic Information Office was created on July 1, 2007 by Indiana Code 4-23-7.3 and located within the Indiana Office of Technology to coordinate GIS activities statewide. The Indiana Geographic Information Council is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit membership organization of GIS users, professionals, and educators. Administered by an elected board of directors, IGIC is recognized as the official statewide coordinating body for Indiana geographic information. World Water Day Promotes Sharing Resources March 22 is World Water Day . Founded in 1992 following a United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, it was designated as a day for people to recognize the importance of freshwater and to work on developing ways to maintain that freshwater. This year's theme is Transboundary Water: Sharing water, sharing opportunity. According to the official website from the UN , cooperation between countries sharing bodies of water can "help build mutual respect, understanding and trust among countries and promote peace, security and sustainable economic growth." As a state bordering the Great Lakes, this is a relevant topic for Indiana. The UN's website includes an interactive map of World Water Day events from around the world. It also provides posters and brochures that are available for download. For information about the important connection between clean water and good health, see the CDC's website . You can find information regarding Indiana's Water Shortage Plan on the DNR's website . For general information about water in Indiana, including water availability and how to obtain various permits, see the Department of Water . You can also visit the Central Indiana Land Trust to see how you can help the environment. The EPA is an additional source of information to learn about your local watershed. www.library.IN.gov -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Learn about the next-gen catalog movement and features of these new interfaces, from user reviews and images to more intuitive searching. Through keynotes and other sessions hear from librarians who have managed these solutions hands-on-their successes and challenges, as well as attempts to meet user needs and expectations using this new set of tools. Eric Lease Morgan (University of Notre Dame), noted library trend-watcher and next-gen catalog expert, will be the keynote speaker. Other sessions include procurement and management of next-generation catalogs, an introduction to WorldCat Local, an open source ILS update, and lightning presentations and demos of eighteen different software solutions! In the closing keynote, Sean Robinson (Allen County Public Library) will focus on the user experience of next-gen catalogs and touch on ACPL's use of LibraryThing in their system. Come to IOLUG Spring '09 and explore these new worlds! Registration is $30 for current IOLUG members or $50 for non-members. This includes breaks, lunch, and speakers' handouts.

Census Bureau Releases 2007 Economic Data Public Printer Promotes GPO Initiatives In an effort to increase the transparency of the federal government, Public Printer Robert Tapella has sent a letter to President Obama stating his support for the initiative and promoting new ideas from the Government Printing Office (GPO). One of these ideas is the increased usage of GPO's Federal Digital System, or FDSys . While not yet fully released, FDSys is expected to be a cleaner and more efficient search engine than the current system. According to the letter, it is also an ideal system for providing a forum on legislation. One proposal for the "transparency initiative" allows for a comment period on legislation before it is made into law. The functionality of FDSys could allow for this. There is also an effort to create more synergy between FDSys and the White House website . FDSys employed to its full potential will be an invaluable tool for librarians and patrons. Not only will it allow for easier searching capabilities on a wide variety of government publications, but it will be another avenue to allow citizens to participate in the democratic process. ------------------------------- Friday Facts is a production of the Indiana State Library Friday Facts Editorial Team: Katharine Springer State Data Center Coordinator Elisabeth O'Donnell Federal Documents Librarian & Kim Brown-Harden State Documents Coordinator Join the FDPL listserv to get the latest government information National Archives Offers Daily History Tidbits Every day, Today's Documents from the National Archives features a different document that represents an event that occurred that day in history. All documents displayed are relevant to American history. However, this is not your traditional Constitution and Gettysburg Address version of history. Rather, it includes pieces of Americana and coverage of other events that citizens may not know about. For example, March 24th featured Elvis Presley's Acknowledgement of Service Obligation , when he joined the Army in 1958. Each item in Today's Document has been digitized, so viewers can see the actual record as it originally appeared. The website also includes links to related documents. In addition to Elvis's Army agreement, the March 24th page lets viewers access a letter from Elvis fans to President Eisenhower and also gives tips on researching military records. There are also Classroom Resources available. While you can check in every day to see the latest documents, you can also sign up for updates via their RSS feed . American Memory Outlines History of Cherry Blossom Festival According to the Library of Congress American Memory project's Today in History website , "On March 27, 1912, First Lady Helen Herron Taft and the Viscountess Chinda, wife of the Japanese ambassador, planted two Yoshino cherry trees on the northern bank of the Potomac River" in Washington, D.C. This event began the idea that grew into the National Cherry Blossom Festival , which takes place every Spring. The trees bloom at a different time every year, but the Peak Bloom Period usually covers late March to early April. Visitors plan their visit around these dates annually. You can find a history of the festival on its official website. For historical photographs of the festival, use the search box on the American Memory website to search all Library of Congress online collections for "cherry blossom festival". DNR Seeks Entries for Annual Photo Contest In celebration of Historic Preservation Month, the Division of Historic Preservation and Archaeology (DHPA) of the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is sponsoring its annual photo contest. The Division is asking shutterbugs and photo enthusiasts to capture some of your favorite subjects, especially historic sites or buildings over 50-years old. Indiana has a rich, historic landscape so there should be plenty of willing and available subjects. The deadline to submit a photo is April 15th . You can view the contest guidelines to learn more about the contest. You can also get some good ideas by looking at the photos from previous contest winners. These photos are on display at the Indiana Statehouse and other historic state sites, as well as viewable online . Census Bureau Releases 2007 Economic Data Earlier this month, the first data from the 2007 Economic Census was released by the U.S. Census Bureau. According to a March 17 press release , "The economic census is conducted every five years and is the most comprehensive and detailed profile of the U.S. economy, covering millions of businesses representing more than 1,000 industries. The census provides the foundation and benchmark for gross domestic product, monthly retail sales and other indicators of economic performance." The report findings include an increase of more than $1.4 trillion in manufacturers' shipments from 2002 to 2007, the largest increase of all sectors covered. Manufacturers also experienced the largest decrease of all sectors - in employment - during the same period. More information about specific statistics may be found by viewing the 2007 Economic Census (through 2011) data release schedule . www.library.IN.gov -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It does a wonderful job fixing DVDs and CDs that are returned by patrons who say the disc does not work for them. One of our Board members has asked if this service could be offered to our patrons for a charge. Are there any libraries out there that offer this kind of service?

I told her that I thought pre-payment would be a big issue for many Indiana Libraries due to having a calendar fiscal year as opposed to a July - June fiscal year and that she will probably hear from others as the letter did not at all make clear that a monthly bill is still possible.
