DIRECTOR'S CUP
Cheery Friday Greetings!
I hope this email finds you well! As I write this week’s column, I am a few days away from vacation—not the one I’d envisioned with a large ship and 30 progressive rock bands (that’s been postponed until 2022!), but a much quieter one (though I hope to have some time to pick up the bass)! There are three key elements of today's column: Meetings, REALM Project findings, and Happy Birthday, ADA!
The next members’ meetup is on Tuesday at 1 p.m. It's focus will be on positive news--this comes at a time when most of us are feeling a bit stressed out over reopening our libraries, schools, campuses, etc. The next directors’ meetup will happen on Monday, August 3 at 2 p.m. In that not everyone can make the earlier time and vice versa, the directors’ meetup on the 17
th
will be at 4 p.m.
As you know, in the spring and summer of COVID-19, some conferences were canceled and others were moved online. One of our favorite resource sharing conferences is coming up next week virtually--the
16th Annual IDS Project Conference 2020
, which will be held online from July 28 - July 31, 2020. This year's theme, "
A Little Help from your Friends,
" features Peter Collins, Director of Resource Sharing at OCLC and current Chair of the IFLA Document Delivery and Resource Sharing Standing Committee. Breakout session discussion topics are:
- Alma/ILLiad integration and Resource Sharing
- Discussion for resuming lending/borrowing physical material
- Library plans for returning to work
- ILLiad 9.1 - webpages, DSP, patron expiration date, locked accounts
Follow the registration link under "Upcoming Webinars" (or the link above!)—the conference is open to all resource sharing staff, whether or not you participate in IDS.
This past week saw the release of the
REALM Project's
Test 2 results, which included Braille paper pages, glossy paper pages, magazine pages, a children’s board book, and archival folders. You can read the results
here
. If you are receiving this
News
, you would have also received the forwarded message from Nate Hill, executive director of METRO, who is a member of the REALM Project steering committee. Nate was speaking not as a steering committee member but as METRO’s ED. Bottom line: based on Test 2 results--especially Re: the magazine--if he were running a library, he would quarantine material for 96 hours rather than 72. I hope you go back and read his post. If you no longer have it or didn’t receive it, I would be happy to refer it to you. [email protected]
Hopefully you will have an hour to attend the Wednesday ADA panel discussion highlighted below and presented by the Finger Lakes Independence Center. It promises to be an important program.
I wish you a healthy, peaceful, and even musical weekend!
Yours in partnership,
Mary-Carol Lindbloom
Executive Director

Hear from FLIC Advocacy Specialists on what it was like going to school as children with disabilities and what it is like now for them as adults in the workforce. Much has changed since the signing of the ADA, but more needs to be done to address the architectural and social barriers that still exist. Q & A to follow.
