Dear Members of Congress,

Thanks to funding from the enactment of the Library Services and Technology Act (LS:A)

in 1996, your constituents have benefited from new and improved library services across

Michigan. The program's goals, as administered by the Library of Michigan, are to support

statewide access to information, enhance equity of access by providing special assistance to

those with difficulty in using a library, support librarians as they develop information skills and

foster innovation and technical improvements in libraries. Toward achievement of these goals,

the Library of Michigan awarded $4,557,301 in LSTA dollars for projects during the past year.

As the new state librarian, I am particularly impressed by Access Michigan, one

of the major projects funded by LSTA. It has garnered praise and appreciation from

people across the state. This project provides statewide online access to some of the nation's

leading information and reference databases, available to people in the state through their

libraries. A young librarian in a rural Michigan library told me that because of Access Michigan,

she could offer up-to-date information her patrons need. She added that her customers were

amazed that their little library offered on-line access to the New York Times through

Access Michigan, something they could not afford in the past. This program truly levels the

playing field for access to information in the state.

In this report you will read of other projects that have made a difference in the lives of

Michiganians, thanks to LSTA funding. As a result of LSTA, Congress, the Institute of Museum

and Library Services, the Library of Michigan and the libraries of the state are strong partnersfor improved library services.

Many librarians and library board trustees asked me to convey their appreciation for

your interest and for the support you've shown to libraries through the Library Services and

Technology Act. Thank you for continuing to champion the need for outstanding library

services in Michigan.

Statewide LSTA Programs - Access Michigan

The Access Michigan statewide database project (http://www.accessmichigan.lib.mi.us) is familiar tolibraries and library users throughoutMichigan. Components include theMichigan Electronic Library (MEL),Serials, Periodicals and Newspapers(SPAN), and the Detroit Free Pressdatabase. No-fee access to the collec-tion of commercial databases andWorld Wide Web sites is provided toall types of libraries including public, school, academic, and special libraries. Funding for this project hasprimarily been federal Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) funds, with additional funding from astate appropriation and a federal grant from the Michigan Department of Education.

Access Michigan is the umbrella title given to a collection of more than67 commercial databases. The access to electronic indexes and full-textdatabases are available under the terms of statewide licenses. The twoprimary providers are Online Computer Library Center, Inc. (OCLC)First Search and Gale Group InfoTrac for access to popular magazine titlesand journals. First Search provides access to information on over 30 millionbooks and to abstracts of articles from over 15,000 journals and newspa-pers. InfoTrac offers reference databases of articles, images and encyclopedia data as well as the HealthCenter Academic database files. Over 4 million searches were logged in during fiscal year 1999.

AccessMichigan also offers the Michigan Electronic Library (MEL), a collaborative project of the Libraryof Michigan, the University of Michigan and the Merit Network, Inc. It consists of a compilation of corn-

... puter files and lists that provide a subject organization for selected sources of

ly reviewed and selected by librarians with expertise in that subject area. Theinformation found on the Internet. The Internet files listed in MEL are careful-

listings in MEL are directly linked to the original computer file so users canclick on the entry and enter the remote file immediately. MEL is not responsible for the content of theremote files, but only for searching them out and creating the structure to lead searchers to reliable andrelevant sites. Approximately 20,000 useful sites are indexed in MEL. Government agencies oracademic institutions are responsible for the creation of most of the MEL content. The MEL web site ishttp://mel.org.

The Serials, Periodicals and Newspapers (SPAN) service is offered under AccessMichigan(http://www.accessmichigan.lib.mi.us/span.htm). SPAN presents a combined list of the names anddates of magazines, newpapers, and other periodical information owned by over 900 libraries aroundMichigan. Internet access allows researchers to find titles in a single search, saving them many hoursof detective work to track down these holdings. Once located, articles or magazines may be obtainedthrough interlibrary loan or by electronic means from the nearest Michigan source.

The Detroit Free Press (http://www.freep.com/newslibrary) statewide database is licensed throughMediaStream's NewsLibrary. It allows access to full-text newspaper articles at all Michigan publiclibraries, schools, colleges, and universities. It includes access to the Detroit Free Press backfile,extending to 1982, and more than 30 other Knight-Rider newspapers.

The first Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) Open House was held at the Library ofMichigan on February 25, 2000. Attendees from across Michigan came to learn about successfulLSTA subgrants from those who conducted the projects. All types of libraries were representedincluding public, school, academic and special libraries.

The afternoon began with comments from special guest Deputy Director Betsy Sywetz, of theInstitute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), the administrative agency of LSTA in Washington,D.C. Sywetz addressed the attendees about the transition of the federal grant from the U.S.Department of Education to IMLS, the goals and activities they are involved in, and future develop-ments for the federal office. IMLS' primary responsibility is to strengthen museums and libraries intheir service to the public.

Twenty past LSTA subgrantsadministrators participated in theopen house by making presentationsabout their projects and then talkingindividually with attendees. Theyshared their strategies and ideasabout how to have a successfulproject from the beginning throughcompletion and how to sustaincontinued support following theproject. Project topics includedautomating local collections,participating in resource sharing,puppets that teach aboutdisabilities, building a musiccollection, and services to children.

The finale of the day was a presentation of Tales ofTricks and Trouble: A Lively Rendition of FourFolktales by Wild Swan Theatre. The tales werepresented in a story theater format as the actorsseamlessly wove storytelling with live action.Cleverly designed props, costumes, masks andpuppets helped the two-member cast create thethirty characters of the four stories. The play wasperformed in American Sign Language andspoken English, with the signing integrated

into the production.

Library of Michigan's LSTA Program Goals

Michigan's LSTA program seeks to assist libraries in developing service paradigms thatincorporate new technologies and models of service, while continuing to meet the serviceneeds of traditional library users, including special populations. The Library of Michigan LSTAprogram identifies four major goals that are designed to extend and improve library services:

Goal I To develop and fund LSTA programs in support of statewide access to thewidest possible range of information for all residents of the state through alltypes of libraries.

Goal II To increase equity of information access by providing special assistance toareas of the state where library services are inadequate (underserved ruraland urban communities), and to libraries that are working to provide serviceto persons having difficulty using a library.

Goal III

Goal IV

To support the continued development of information skills throughcontinuing education on a collaborative basis statewide.

To foster innovation and technical improvements in information services byfunding leading edge projects in libraries which will serve as models andtraining centers.

Toward achievement of these goals, the Library of Michigan has awarded $4,557,301 inLSTA dollars for projects during this last year. Funding has focused on bringing technologyand the promise of the Internet to the state's libraries as well as supporting services to spe-cial populations such as the blind & physically handicapped and children living in poverty.

Comments about Previous LSTA Projects

"The library passed a five-year millage in June of this year; with a margin of 2 1 voting in favor of renewal.It was very helpful to tell the public about the grant and to advertise the public access computers and`computer tutor' sessions. We feel that this was an important factor in our millage success."

Helena Township Public Library, Alden

"Patrons are benefiting in three ways: information available, format and Web access. With the new jointsystem, patrons can not only see what is available at our library, but also see what is at many other public,school and special libraries across Upper Michigan."
