April 1998'

Dear Member. of Congress,

In the fall of 1996 Congress passed the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA)as part of the OmnibusBudget Reconciliation Bill. LSTA inarked. a major shift in emphasisfor federal funding for libraries. The bill challenged librarians to become more collaborative,encouraged resource sharing and cooperation among all types of libraries, and shifted thefoCus of federal funding from bricks and mortar:to technology,

The Library of Michigan conducted a series of forums around the state last winter andspring to determine how to apply LSTA funds. in Michigan. The suggestions we heard atthese forums were to develop projects that are simple to use, require minimal Paperwork,inspire cOoperation and use techndlogy effectively.

It is my pleasure to report to you that Michigan's library community has responded to'this Congressional challenge by developing three exciting initiatives AccessMichigan,MEL and SPAN which are described on the next page of this publication. These threeelectronic library services are available equally in all parts of the state.

Nineteen ninety=seven was the transition year between the old, and the new Acts.This report reflects that transition, with descriptions of projects funded 'under the last year ofthe Library Services and Construction Act as well as the beginning of the new initiatives.we've undertaken.

Thank you.fdryour past support of the goal of making high quality library andinformation services available to every citizen-of the state.:

Access Michigan is a collection of more than sixty

databases that provide online reference books, full-

text magazines, indices and abstracts to public and

academic libraries, schools, hospital and corporate

information centers and the general public. In its

first. six months of operation more than one million "hits" were recorded and tens of,thousands of magazine and newspaper articles and other information were downloaded.For more information, see <wWw.accessmichigan.lib.mi.us>:

Access Michigan

Michigan Electronic Library

The Michigan Electronic Library (MEL) pro-

vides one-stop access to over 19,000 useful

sites on the World Wide Web, carefully select-

ed and evaluated for reliability, timeliness and

relevance by a cadre of skilled librarians. MEL

provides well-organized, easy access to state

and federal government information. Through MEL, a researcher may locate information ohnearly any topic imaginable. MEL is a collaborative project of the Library of Michigan, theUniversity of Michigan and the Merit Network, Inc.For more information, see <www.mel.lib.mi.us>.

SPAN stands for Serials, Periodicals And Newspapers. This is a com-

bined list of the names and dates of magazines, newspapers and

other periodical information owned by 875 libraries aroundMichigan. Having this list available on the Internet saves researchers

many hours in detective work to track down these holdings,

enabling them to get their materials from the nearest Michigansource.

"The children quickly told their families and friends that the computeri were available.Within dayS, we had children waiting for turns at the terminals. Our regular .computer-users',self-eSteem has skyrocketed. They are proud to help siblings, friends, parents; grandparents, even other library patrons. The computers brought new patrons into the library-who never would have otherwise visited the,library Nothing in our department will ever bethe sarne.again! We have reached out to a.'whole new audience. Over half of the children

. who came to use the-computers had rarely or never been in our library,before. Almost allof these children are now regular library patrons. Many parents are amazed by how muchthe children are capable of on the computers, and the children are proud to show theirparents hOw the games work. We are especially pleased with the nu mber of fathers whonow bring. their young sOns,and daughters in to work on the computers. Some havegoneon to_get library cards and checkout books.

They,would play educationalgames which taught reading and math skills,'surf the Net and the Library's on-line catalog for homework assignments, and create signs and banners to decorate their rooms:tomake them more personal. The staff of the shelter used the computers to gather informa-tion on child behaviors which enabled them to More effectively deal with troublingsituations.'"Plymouth District Library

"The Monthe County Library System used subgrant funds to establish a World Wide Web

server and purchase the equipment to create home pages. The project provided the public

with a wide array of local information from public, private and non-profit sources, electroni-cally linked to additional Internet resources. The library's wide area computer network was

enhanced to civic network status: Dial-up access capabilities were strengthened to meet therapidly growing demand and increased the number of available moderns from' 16 to 24. The
