NEO-RLS News-April 13, 2020
A Note from the Executive Director, Betsy Lantz
[https://neo-rls.org/photos/59194_02102020090245.jpg]I wanted to start my Note today with a shout out to my amazing colleagues at NEO-RLS - Melissa Lattanzi, Holly Klingler and Debbie Blair.  Together we have pivoted, pivoted again and then pivoted yet again to provide you with the information, networking and learning opportunities that you have requested during the COVID-19 crisis.  I would also like to give a shout out to our colleagues at SWON, NORWELD and SERLS, all of whom have been doing the same for their members in their regions.  Between us, the four regionals have a total of 14 staff (some of which are only part-time) working hard to serve all of the libraries in the 88 counties of Ohio. And, that is my attempt at the perfect segue into asking you for help! We are looking for members who might be interested in doing a micro learning video for us on a topic of their choice.  It can be short - one to two minutes, longer as in 5 minutes or even longer if you would like.  Do you have a topic that you have been thinking about lately and would like to discuss?  A presentation that has been cancelled due to circumstances but is ready to share?  A tip you think could help your colleagues right now?  Want to try something new while at home?  If so, we'd love to help you bring your ideas to those in our region.  We know you are the experts and that you all love to share.  If you have ideas, contact us.  Let's learn from each other!

Recording Statistics
State Library data consultant, Kirstin Krumsee, is preparing advice for libraries about virtual programming and the Public Library Statistics. This advice will be shared widely, including on the LYS list. Please note that it specifically addresses the statistics that your library provides to the State Library of Ohio for our report to IMLS. There is a lot of library activity that isn't "counted" for that purpose, but that is still significant and impactful. I encourage you to keep statistics on ANY activity that is meaningful to your community and stakeholders. You can share activity results with your Board, administration, community partners, funders, and the general public even if they are not statistics that are collected by the State Library.
