Thanks to everyone who has already filled out the FY2018 Cloud Library Renewal Survey! At this point I’ve already received 120 responses. If you haven’t filled out the survey yet, you can access it via the following link until Friday, April 14, 2017: https://goo.gl/k29C3j If you’re coming to IHLS Member Day on April 18, you might want to come to the Cloud Library User Group. Our Bibliotheca rep, Brett Ward will be attending and he’ll talk about what’s new and what we can anticipate in 2018. We’ll also foster a discussion so that you can give feedback and ask questions.
Did you know?
Patrons can keep a list of titles they’d like to read in the future within the Cloud Library app? Simply tap the flag icon next to any title and that item will go on your “Books of Interest” list. For more information, check out the App Feature Overview handout available on the SHARE eResources promotional page.
MyMediaMall participants are currently voting on the annual fee increase for FY2018. If your library has not received the voting survey, let me know. Each IHLS library that belongs to MyMediaMall may submit one vote and the survey will remain open until Friday, April 14, 2017. Renewal forms for MyMediaMall will be sent out in late April/early May.
Vendor Discounts: Don’t forget, SHARE member libraries are eligible for several eResource discounts that can be found on the IHLS Vendor Discount page. Currently, you’ll find discounts for Brain HQ, EBSCO (Flipster and Database Packages), PressReader, and SignUp. We’ll keep adding discounts as they become available.
