Thanks for doing this. 13:01:24 From jwgauthier : I can hear 13:01:24 From joanna : Slainte! 13:01:25 From Jared Leadbetter -- Maine : Is there anyone unable to hear the audio? 13:01:38 From Dana Chevalier : thumbs up here! 13:01:41 From Lisa.M.Shaw : Joanna: Slainte!!! 13:01:54 From RCL Librarian : I cannot hear audio 13:01:56 From Susan C. Mirisola : can hear you fine. 13:01:58 From ldodge : I can hear 13:02:05 From quint : clear 13:02:33 From Susan C. Mirisola : from susan mirisola I can hear you. 13:02:43 From RCL Librarian : I have not used zoom on this laptop before so perhaps I am missing something? 13:02:54 From Jared Leadbetter -- Maine : RCL: please use the microphone settings to "Test Speakers and Microphone" 13:03:14 From Jared Leadbetter -- Maine : It could be either the setting within Zoom, or a volume control on your computer or headset. 13:04:21 From Jared Leadbetter -- Maine : If there doesn't seem to be a simple solution after checking the Zoom and volume settings, this webinar is being recorded. 13:04:21 From james.jacksonsanborn@maine.edu : The ALA has called for closing public libraries: https://americanlibrariesmagazine.org/blogs/the-scoop/ala-executive-board-recommends-closing-libraries-to-public/ 13:06:23 From Barb Rehmeyer : On ILLs suppose to go out from our library today, can I cancel those and put back on our shelf? We are still doing request from our library. 13:06:51 From Amy Wisehart : Would it be possible to get a copy of the state of Maine managers’ guidelines to share with my board? 13:07:12 From Justin Martin : ^^^ 13:10:19 From Liz : Google Doc? 13:10:25 From james.jacksonsanborn@maine.edu : Hi Barb- It's best if you don't cancel ILL requests-- that way they will resurrect properly when this situation is over. If you need to check out a requested item locally, you can use the usual check out function, and that will allow you to override the request. Similar to the way you would check an item out to a local user with item in hand. 13:10:50 From James Ritter : Amy -- yes... we will get that guidance out. 13:13:05 From Jared Leadbetter -- Maine : If you are interested in learning more about acquiring a Zoom license for your own library, you can contact me. :D 13:14:28 From james.jacksonsanborn@maine.edu : https://www.maine.gov/dhhs/mecdc/infectious-disease/epi/airborne/coronavirus.shtml 13:14:31 From Barb Rehmeyer : Jamie, keep your hands away from your face! ;-) It's so hard. 13:14:58 From James Ritter : So hard, but thanks Barb. 13:16:21 From ybalie : thank you Janet 13:18:55 From Jared Leadbetter -- Maine : Same with Census! 13:19:40 From Easton School Library : Interlibrary loan books? What do we do? 13:20:20 From jamesrathbun : All the ILL’s that went out but haven’t been delivered? They’re just in a warehouse somewhere? 13:20:21 From Alisia : If I joined late, I don't see old chats? 13:20:40 From Alisia : I don't see anything before James's link with the dhhs 13:20:44 From Witherle : are you going to address if/how long virus lasts on books? Can we offer delivery services? 13:21:04 From Justin Martin : Alisia there will b a recording available after 13:21:20 From Michelle Sampson : We might be interested in obtaining some hotspots. I looked into it a few years ago and the only options were from a carrier with less than great coverage in our area. Is there a specific vendor/carrier people are using? 13:21:27 From Alisia : oh, right. It's just an unfortunate effect that I don't see lingering chats 13:21:52 From RCL Librarian : Best recommended practice regarding accepting returned books for our own collections? Books that are currently out and people want to return to book drops? 13:22:18 From Lisa.M.Shaw : @MIchelle Sampson: A lot of carriers are lifting their data caps during this time. 13:22:20 From Alisia : because they are porous and the fibers hang on to the viruses 13:22:36 From Alisia : cold makes it die faster 13:22:47 From Dana Chevalier : Wouldn't offering curbside services potentially carry the same risks as ILL? What is your recommendation at this time in terms of maintaining some form of circulation? 13:23:00 From joanna : +1 Dana 13:23:27 From Brook Minner : In addition to curbside delivery, any recommendations about home delivery (dropping outside)? 13:24:02 From joanna : It seems to undermine public health directives to stay home, however 13:24:47 From Alisia : slide 7 of this slideshare (whole thing is excellent) addresses how long the virus lives on surfaces and with temperature change: https://www.slideshare.net/MichaelLin14/how-to-fight-the-coronavirus-sarscov2-and-its-disease-covid19 13:27:28 From Michelle Sampson : YAY!!! 13:27:44 From Jen Alvino : Our Emergency Management Director recommended suspending home delivery as often those folks are likely immune compromised. So you could be risking transmission to them. 13:27:47 From Michelle Sampson : (re simultaneous use of downloadable and ebooks) 13:28:00 From Richard Fortin : Allowing simultaneous use for cloudlibrary titles would be huge right now... 13:29:33 From JAMM Library : Definitely. Usage is gonna go crazy. 13:29:57 From rdavis : I had a request from our school librarian to put in Chickadee titles. Is that possible? 13:30:03 From jamesrathbun : How far does that money go? Does $50 buy a book, or two? 13:30:41 From joanna : Tumblebooks giving for free 13:31:05 From Liz : ^^^ Yay! 13:33:15 From Pittsfield Library--Holly & Donna : Regarding the 72 hours the virus potentially lives--does cleaning them with clorox or lysol then make a difference? 13:33:34 From Deborah Lavoie : There are already many Maine Student Book Award books on the CL. Is it possible to add more? There are 19 now. the list includes 40 ish 13:34:30 From Alisia : cleaning makes a difference, but cleaning is a very particular process. It involves getting the surface correctly saturated and remaining that way for a particular amount of time. By which I'm saying yea, it makes a difference, but it's not a magic wand 13:35:01 From Pittsfield Library--Holly & Donna : Thanks, Alisia. 13:35:13 From Easton School Library : Epic books opened up to Educators to share Free access at home until the end of June 13:35:17 From Barb Rehmeyer : How do we make suggestions for CloudLibrary titles? 13:35:27 From Michelle Sampson to Janet McKenney(Privately) : Thanks, Janet! 13:35:28 From Josh Tiffany : does anyone have guidance on book drops - shutter with the library or keep open? 13:35:40 From Lisa.M.Shaw : https://broadbandnow.com/ 13:37:09 From Rich Boulet : Can we set up weekly zoom check-ins like this? 13:37:14 From Janet Bolduc : Regarding cleaning, this is from the Jouranl of Hospital Infection, "The analysis of 22 studies reveals that human coronaviruses such as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) coronavirus, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) coronavirus or endemic human coronaviruses (HCoV)...can be efficiently inactivated by surface disinfection procedures with 62–71% ethanol, 0.5% hydrogen peroxide or 0.1% sodium hypochlorite within 1 minute. Other biocidal agents such as 0.05–0.2% benzalkonium chloride or 0.02% chlorhexidine digluconate are less effective." 13:37:16 From Liz : Public Library annual reports. Still due April 1? 13:37:24 From Deborah Lavoie : We have “closed” our school. Is anyone else allowing students to come into their school libraries to get new books? 13:37:37 From Alisia : https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2020/03/14/811609026/the-new-coronavirus-can-live-on-surfaces-for-2-3-days-heres-how-to-clean-them 13:38:25 From Alisia : The school systems that I am familiar with (Waterville, winslow, vassalborough) have locked the buildings, so nobody is going back in. 13:39:42 From Liz : That's what we are doing at WPL 13:40:10 From joanna : +1 @Rich Boulets idea 13:40:25 From Alisia : that's what I was trying to convey with the articles, to illustrate that it's not possible thoroughly clean/saturate surfaces as it would need to be done to be reliable 13:40:28 From Tammy Rabideau : yes 13:40:29 From Easton School Library : YES more zoom meetings will be great 13:40:33 From hchance : yes 13:40:33 From Ann : Yes 13:40:34 From ncrowell : Yes 13:40:35 From HFL : YES 13:40:36 From Stacey Brownlie : Yes please 13:40:39 From SDB : Terrific 13:40:39 From Caroline Ward-Nesbit : Agreed, regular zoom meetings would be awesome 13:40:44 From ybalie : good idea 13:40:46 From Nissa Flanagan : <3 13:40:49 From Dana Chevalier : yes! 13:40:50 From training : We've been referring people to 211. can you share MSL info with them so they'll have a reference? 13:40:53 From Thomas College : yes, meet weekly 13:40:56 From Courtney Sparks : sounds really great 13:40:59 From Josh Tiffany : he’s in a hidden bunker! 13:41:14 From Ogunquit Library : yes, Zoom once a week 13:41:24 From JHultberg : How did you make that background show up? 13:41:45 From Josh Tiffany : recommendations on book drops while we are closed? 13:41:49 From Jared Leadbetter -- Maine : Under video settings you can choose a virtual background. :D 13:41:56 From Jen Alvino : And we still have our boycott in effect 13:41:59 From Jared Leadbetter -- Maine : Including Hogwarts! 13:42:04 From Brenda Lynn Gould : Yes, weekly meetings 13:42:12 From quint : respond to book drops please 13:42:48 From Alisia : TO change background: at the bottom of your screen, there's "video" putting, and the arrow next to it includes "video settings", and in the list on the left there's "virtual background: 13:42:56 From Thomas College : will there be a universal update to ILL due dates set for when van system comes back online? 13:42:59 From Richard Fortin : Folks, James is hiking, he stopped to chat with us... 13:43:11 From Witherle : should we request patrons keep their books at home, and return at a later date? 13:43:34 From Lisa.M.Shaw : DVDs also do not do well sitting in a book drop. 13:44:11 From joanna : I like the keep you book idea --- the bookdrop handle is getting so many touches and not so much cleaning 13:44:26 From Stacey Brownlie : Will overdue notices be suspended also? 13:44:30 From Tammy Rabideau : Minerva - is it possible to extend active card expiration dates? 13:44:35 From Josh Tiffany : once we submit a closed ticket how long until our collection is shut down? 13:44:39 From Thomas College : Great. Thank you. 13:44:59 From Norway Memorial Library Staff : Any recommendations for books in Little Free Libraries? 13:45:06 From Richard Fortin : Can we do a mass extension for library memberships set to expire in 2020? 13:45:24 From Lydia's iPad : William Fogg Library would like to contribute to the Cloud Library coffer. Who do we write the check out to and where should we send it? 13:45:40 From Alisia : library staff could still do checkouts or holds, but if they do, we will socially-distantly slap them 13:46:14 From joanna : +1 @Richard Fortin suggestion 13:46:17 From Justin Martin : Lol 13:46:21 From Josh Tiffany : our collection is stiiLl live and requestable. 13:46:25 From OPLCircMan : James - Should we run our bills to get them out of Sierra, but not email/mail to patrons? 13:46:39 From Alisia : you can run a list of items in transit, but those could be at outgoing library 13:47:04 From Richard Fortin : I submitted a ticket for this yesterday, but figured others may want to know answer 13:47:20 From Debbie : people will want extended expiration dates for CL 13:47:30 From training : APL has approx. 1200 ILLs out. 13:47:52 From Tammy Rabideau : thank you 13:48:51 From cappleby : Just to clarify...you are extending due dates in Minerva, et al to 4/15 and we don't need to submit tickets? 13:49:24 From ybalie : Our dates have been to April 7 13:49:36 From jamesrathbun : Don’t forget OPL’s question re: should we still run bills, overdues, etc. or just let them linger 13:49:41 From Lisa.M.Shaw : There was a question earlier about the annual report deadline 13:50:16 From Janet McKenney to Lisa.M.Shaw(Privately) : I spoke about that earlier but will repeat. 13:50:21 From Jeff Cabral : Janet said complete the annual report if you can but she is in contact with IMLS about finding out whether the deadline can be extended. 13:50:31 From Lisa.M.Shaw to Janet McKenney(Privately) : Thank you! 13:50:57 From jamesrathbun : I think the concern is will it mess up the system if we don’t run them. I don’t care about the items, just the database. :) 13:51:01 From Debbie : what will happen to books on the hold shelf too long? 13:51:25 From OPLCircMan : My question about bills was more about whether we need to run them to get them cleared from Sierra.... I wouldn't send them to patrons. 13:52:07 From Localadmin : Any ideas on how we will know when to open back up? 13:52:36 From Localadmin : Decision to close can be based on an number of metrics, but I'm not sure about opening. 13:53:16 From Alisia : FYI, josh has discovered that our blocking requesting didn't work on the mobile display, so we are working on that right now. 13:53:41 From Cyndi Burne : We told people that we are closed until further notice... 13:54:12 From Richard Fortin : Does anyone know if Zoom might consider lifting the 40 minute meeting limit for public libraries? Or does anyone know if there is a free non-limited similar app? 13:54:58 From Alisia : I think even directly from zoom, it's like $16 a month if you want to just tide over 13:54:58 From Pittsfield Library--Holly & Donna : If we "quarantine" books, does it need to be a closed room or just in a closed box? 13:55:10 From Richard Fortin : what is the best way to get that license through NetworkMaine? 13:55:18 From Richard Fortin : k, ty 13:55:25 From Josh Tiffany : if people are doing virtual story times or other activities could you post it up on ME Libs? the more resources we can identify the better. 13:55:32 From Jared Leadbetter -- Maine : Hi Richard.
