Internal Press Releases

This is the last series on Accountability (Core Competency in our Performance Development Plan). It is optional (as you will now see OPT in the course title). This series is only 16(m) 5(s). Once completed it will appear in your EduBrite transcript and is considered a professional development opportunity. Be sure not to miss this one, and go back to view the previous four in your EduBrite account on your Dashboard under "My Items".

The Friends of the Library (FOL) will be changing how donors of books and materials receive their tax receipts.

Currently, at the time of donation, donors receive an Online Gift Receipt Information slip instructing them to go to supportmls.org and fill out an online form to receive an emailed tax receipt letter. This online form will be going away as of January 1st, 2019.

This month we're going to the movies! Use library eservices or databases to answer four questions. You'll have until the end of the month to complete the questions and either email or interoffice mail the answers to Collection Development, ATTN: Sadie. Every hunt turned in on time wins some swag!

The only rule is you have to use our resources to answer the questions. You absolutely can team up with coworkers. There's more than one way to get to an answer. I'll post a key at the start of next month with the databases I used to build the hunt.

This is the second to the last EduMinutes on Accountability. (EduMinutes are Optional - as you will see (OPT) in the name of the course.) This is a huge topic for Lynda.com that is why there are five (5) EduMinutes in this series!  MLS is one of many organizations that have this as a core competency and find value in the premise of accountability.
