MDMLG Meeting - March 15, 2007 |
|
Promotion of MDMLG Health Sciences Award Please join your MDMLG colleagues on Thursday, March 15 for a program at the Detroit Public Library. "Using Electronic Tools for Library Inventory Control" will feature three librarians who will share their innovative methods for keeping track of their collections. Alexia Estabrook will describe the inventory procedure at Providence Hospital Medical Library, which utilizes a portable barcode, the inventory module of Professional Software and some detective work. Though somewhat specific to Professional Software, the procedure itself can easily be modified to fit your library's capabilities and software. Mary Fitzpatrick will show us how she uses GLAS, a laptop, and a scan gun for inventory control and collection management at McLaren Regional Medical Center. Clara Bohrer, Director of the West Bloomfield Township Public Library, will discuss using Checkpoint's RFID technology and a hand-held scanner for this purpose in her library. The program will be held in the Explorers Room, located in the basement. The DPL is massive so allow time before the program to stop at the information desk in the lobby for directions. Also allow time before or after the program to enjoy the "Changing the Face of Medicine: Celebrating America's Women Physicians" exhibit which will be featured at the DPL February 28 - April 3. Free parking is available in WSU's parking structure #6, located at Putnam & Cass, for all attendees who contact Diane LeBar (313-593-8652 or diane.lebar@oakwood.org) by Friday, March 9. To park free on the day of the program, just give your name to the attendant as you leave the structure. The attendant will need to see your name on the list Diane will be giving to WSU's Parking Services.
