<p class="MsoNormal">In case you did not know, the Michigan eLibrary databases are
<b>all</b> going out for new contracts. We received bids from many vendors, and have already made our first cut based on technical requirements. We have 11 remaining vendors and even more databases to sort through. As such, we are going through an evaluation
period with trial access to the databases. <b>We would like your help to review these databases and your input on how helpful (or not) each database would be for your patrons.</b><u></u><u></u></p>

assumptions and provided eye-opening insights about who supports public library funding and for what reasons. A decade later, OCLC has partnered with PLA and the ALA Office for Library Advocacy to investigate perceptions and support among US voters today,
and how they may have shifted in the intervening years. In this session, presenters will share key findings and analysis from summary report (due to be released in late March); provide new details on library super supporters and probable supporters in context
with other library trends and research; and kickstart the discussion on how library leaders and advocates can act on these findings.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="m_-5000537675956703330MsoPlainText">Libraries that cultivate a culture of learning encourage their staff to participate in continuing education. But shouldn't this learning culture also extend to library boards? At the State Library of Iowa, we say yes! Trustees can and
should play a key role in fostering a culture of learning at their libraries—beginning with themselves. When library boards embrace a learning culture, they become more receptive to supporting continuing education, in policy, planning, and budgeting. This
webinar presents ideas for growing board learning into a blossoming culture that motivates board members to see education and training as a natural part of their trusteeship.<u></u><u></u></p>
