 KOHA ILS:FEATURE HIGHLIGHT Koha Aspen View When working in-person with the patron during a reference transaction or at the circulation desk, it may be helpful to show the record in question to the patron. While we can do this now, Koha makes it quick and easy to pull the same record up in Aspen Discovery, showing the item in the interface that the patron has access to and may already be familiar with. Simply click OPAC view under the record. From here, showing patrons how to log in, to search, and place holds on their own becomes much easier. |

SUNSHINE HALL GIVES THANKS! Librarians have been coping with increased stress for some time - - from a variety of sources... Here's some news that reinforces our belief in how much libraries are valued and respected ----------------------------- Blessed by the Goodwill of our Community Sunshine Hall Free Library in Eldred NY serves the towns of Highland and Lumberland. We are thankful to have support from so many people in our community in so many ways. Recently two events have emphasized how lucky we are. We reached out to the Director of Technology at Eldred Central School for advice on what type of equipment to purchase for videoconferencing. This resulted in the donation of a 65” Smart Screen that was no longer in use at the school. Traci Ferreira, the District Superintendent visited the library to see the equipment in place. courtesy of Patty Kennedy, Library Director |

What are Book Résumés? Book Résumés serve as invaluable tools for teachers, librarians, parents, and community members in safeguarding books against censorship. These documents outline the significance and educational merit of each title, facilitating advocacy efforts with administrators, book review committees, elected officials, and board members. Given the persistent threat of censorship facing thousands of library books, new résumés are consistently added to the collection. Discover more about this indispensable resource by clicking on the image below! |
