LIBRARIAN'S REPORT
May/June 2006
.
The Waukesha County Board approved the Act 150 Committee report by a
vote of 30-1. The report included the standards freeze, and a plan for requiring
non-resident communities to help pay for capital costs incurred by library
communities. The committee will reconvene after the Himmel & Wilson study has
concluded.
Bay Lane PTO thanked us for lending some of the wine tasting table linens
for their 8th Grade Awards Program.
I received a call from VFW Commander Dennis Duran saying that over 100
flags had been collected in a six-week period since the box was installed-also
some of our book returns. . .
We received a gift copy of a newly published and very handsome book, The
Toy and Miniature Poodle, from the author Janice Biniok, who thanked us for
research and interlibrary loan help. Poet Eugene Mahoney of New Berlin also
gave us a copy of his new book, Lite Reed. Appreciative of meeting room use,
the Log Cabin Quilt Guild donated new books on fabric craft.
. Mary prepared new books' lists. We are told that will be a feature of the
upgraded catalog.
Summer programs have been well attended. The library is proud parent to
a lighted fish tank and its colorful denizens-a fascination to small ones. A
picture pet parade will be on display in the children's area, with kids voting for
their favorite beginning July 5th.
We are planning an adult summer reading program to run July through
August, and hope to sponsor a visit by Wisconsin writer Kris Radish.
We are partnering with the Muskego Historical Society on a project to
collect oral histories from Muskego residents, and will begin during "Historical
Days," July 22-23.
A letter to the editor thanking everyone who helped with the Wine & Cheese
evening was published; also an article on selecting materials for the library. The
governance study forums were announced, and also the long-distance visit by
author Robert Hicks, scheduled for tonight at the Civil War Book Group meeting.
.
Press coverage did not include the Robert Birmingham program, but 27
people came anyway to hear about Astalan. Jane reports: "A sure sign of
success was the number of people hanging out afterwards and talking until
9:45-and someone stole the copy of a newspaper article about Mr. Birmingham
that I'd taped to the display case in the lobby."
"
Writer John Campbell met with the writers' group last week. He talked
about self-publishing and printing on demand. He was very well received. We
had 14 writers, some not even from our group, who attended. He was adamant
. that he wanted "to do this," and would not take payment of any kind.
The Finance Committee approved a major repair to the library's air
conditioning system. The amount quoted was $6,500. This account will be
running a deficit as soon as we receive the invoice.
Quote of the month: "Prose books are the show dogs I breed and sell to
support my cat." [Robert Graves, poet]

INTERLIBRARY COOPERATION
May-June 2006
We have received "Speak Up for Your Library" registration cards.
The box will be up soon, with publicity.
The deliverables subcommittee did approve release of Phase two of
Himmel & Wilson's governance options report, but they had many
suggestions for improvement. Some of these were housekeeping details,
like the need for a table of contents. Others were more serious flaws. For
example: While valuations for the collections and library buildings were
included, the costs and transfer of assets were not sufficiently
incorporated into the scenarios presented. The committee wanted further
discussion of districts, and called for better examples of how the "open
door" approach would be funded, how the transition would be
accomplished and how assets would be transferred.
After I sent the mailing about the governance options forums, I
received a memo from WCFLS with two corrections to the consultants'
four-page summary. Communities have spent $32.5 million on library
buildings since 2000, not $12.5 million. It was also said that villages could
form a district, when what was meant was a joint library.
There was concern at last week's APL meeting that the forum
structure did not allow enough opportunity for participant comment and
exchange. The method of integration of the forum results into the report
was questioned. It was suggested that a last option be added to the voting
choices: "I don't know."
We received a report on county library standards. If the vote among
member libraries to freeze the standards is favorable, all but one library are
in compliance with the standards at the 90% level. That community will
have to show how they intend to address the deficit, or their residents will
be assessed the county library tax.
WCFLS has been awarded a 2006 National Association of Counties
Achievement Award for creating wireless hotspots in libraries. At present
there are only about thirty uses of wireless per day across the county, but
the statistics pick up slowly every month as people become aware of the
service.
. TECHNOLOGY REPORT
May-June 2006
We have been moved over to the new state network, Badgetnet. There was
a two-hour outage during the installation. Three more libraries, and the
county conversion will be complete. We are told there will be less failure
points now, so troubleshooting should be easier. We are also migrating to
a new county Wide Area Network that will be housed at Waukesha PL,
instead of at the county courthouse. This is scheduled to be completed
July 11th.
Howard Pringle from Waukesha PL has also been doing some server
consolidation. Joe and Alex had a time getting all the computers to see the
new IP address, or URL-or whatever, but all is well now.
We had an entire Friday without staff computers, due to a switch failure.
Very frustrating. Cleaning files is not a very good use of our time. The circ
desk had to run the backup system all day, which makes for extra work
when service is restored. Paper registrations were entered later, and
patrons received incomplete checkout receipts.
.
Howard and the CAFÉ team have set up a meticulous schedule for
migration to the next SIRSIlibrary program software release. Linda and
Jane attended a session on the new circulation and public catalog
modules. Our staff completed a profile of features that will be found in the
catalog. The display is easier to use, and better organized, and we will
have more ability to help people find "lists" of items such as "new DVDs."
Staff will receive training later this summer.
.
The library system is eligible for a non-competitive LST A technology grant
of around $22,000. Unfortunately, we must do something "innovative" with
the money-and that's fine, except that we would need to pick up the costs
after the grant was over. We hoped that the terms of the grant would allow
each library to have money for hardware, but that is not one of the allowed
uses. The committee is pricing a number of options, such as adding
another database, purchasing an on-line newsletter about books that would
link to each library's Website and catalog, or purchasing more electronic
book or audio content. WPLC, the Wisconsin Public Library Consortium is
in a dispute with NetLibrary, the e-book provider, who thinks the state
should have to purchase multiple copies of e-books. Since the NetLibrary
program only allows an item to be checked out to one person at a time,
WPLC is resisting, and may discontinue the program if the decision does
not go their way. Winifox and South Central, two large library systems,
have issued a challenge grant that will match up to $10,000 from other
library systems to purchase more Overdrive content. We are investigating
whether the LSTA grant can be used to meet the challenge.
