<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">All,</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Has your library signed up for the TLN/Brodart BIBZ Statewide Collection Development Lists Pilot Project yet?!</span></p><p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">In collaboration with Brodart, TLN launched on October 1, 2024 the statewide, monthly, BIBZ collection development lists, pilot project. The three current lists, encompassing one of each of Adult Nonfiction, Juvenile/Tween Fiction and Nonfiction, Teen Fiction and Nonfiction, are available on the TLN website at this link:</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span><a href="https://tln.org/page/bibz/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family:'arial' , sans-serif">https://tln.org/page/bibz/</span></a></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">In order to maximize your library's experience with the new monthly BIBZ collection development lists, we suggest you follow these steps:</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">1. Complete and submit to our MI Brodart consultant Kim Langenderfer the BIBZ profile form that each interested library received via an individual email from Kim. If you did not
receive the BIBZ profile form, please let either Kim or myself know. Kim is cc'd on this email.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">2. View the Brodart produced YouTube video at this link

Brodart didn't give this video a name, but I think they would be okay with our calling it "MI Basics of BIBZ."</span></p><p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Going forward, each library that has signed up for this pilot project will receive a monthly, bcc email from Corliss Jones at TLN, to let them know of the availability of the the new lists each month.</span></p></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">As of today nearly 100 libraries statewide have signed up for the new collection development lists project. In fact, another library did so earlier today. And as I told that library in reply, it's not too late for your library to do so! To sign up
you can use the Contact Us form at the </span><a href="https://tln.org/page/bibz/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family:'arial' , sans-serif;background:#bfe6ff">https://tln.org/page/bibz/</span></a><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
link, or email Kim or myself.</span></p></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">If you have comments concerning the content of the collection development lists (they are great, they are less great, they need more this, they need less that, etc.) I welcome
those as well.</span></p></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Here are direct links to each of the three lists. These links will stay the same from month to month. As above, Corliss at TLN will notify all subscribed libraries via bcc email as to when the new monthly lists are ready.</span></p></div><div style="">
