Unfortunately, the link sent out via the newsletter, the listserv and printed copy of the survey last Friday, June 12, 2009 is not working properly. Although it allowed participants to take the survey, it did not collect the responses!
If you had already taken the news and information survey on Friday or over the weekend, could you please take the survey again at the above-mentioned link.
Thank you for your time, and we apologize for the confusion. We will keep you posted on the results.

]]>SEMLS is planning to give away the older Kindle to a SEMLS member chosen at random. In order to qualify for the Kindle, the library must be willing to use it to support a user program or service. In essence, it can’t just be used for staff to try out the technology but must make it into the hands of your users.
In addition, we are asking that the library receiving the Kindle agree to write an article for the SEMLS newsletter a few months after implementing the program or service that uses this device.
If your library is interested in receiving the Kindle, please send an e-mail to Kathy Lussier at klussier@semls.org by April 27. In the e-mail, please let us know how you plan to use the Kindle in your library (a few short sentences will do.) SEMLS will choose a winner at random on the week of the 27th.

The new list manager will provide you, as subscribers, with more options:
CHANGES:
When you send a new message to the SEMSL list (starting Friday), please send it to: semls@mblc.state.ma.us.
When you receive messages they will usually be in the form: semls-owner@mblc.state.ma.us ; on behalf of; Sender [Sender’s e-mail.] The subject of each message will contain the string: [semls] so that you can set up automatic mail handling rules if you desire in your e-mail program.
If you want to, you will be able to establish a Web login at: http://mblc.state.ma.us/sympa by selecting the “First login?” link. This step is NOT necessary to continue to send and receive e-mail from the list.
The current SEMLS list will temporarily stop taking new subscribers on Thursday. SEMLS members can start subscribing to the list again when we cut over to the new list on Friday.
The other regions in the state have not all moved to the new system yet. In the meantime, please continue to send your statewide messages to allregions@mlin.lib.ma.us. We will let you know when this address will change. At the same time, please do not send attachments to the All Regions list until we notify you that they are able to accept attachments.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact Kathy Lussier at klussier@semls.org
