Friday

on-line
resource for NEILSA Librarians
Holiday hours: Dec 24, 27 &
Dec 31 closed
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Discounts on
Purchasing Paper: School
and public libraries will be able to
purchase paper supplies, thanks to the Iowa Educators Consortium
(IEC) arrangement. The IEC has negotiated discounts on paper and envelopes;
the 2005 bid was awarded to the Paper Corporation. Paper is
available in a wide variety of bond weights and sizes, plus a rainbow
of colors too.
The Paper Corporation must
receive orders by January 7, 2005; deliveries are expected by late
February. For more details, order information, and order forms,
go to: http://www.iec-ia.org/paper/papercorp.html Direct any questions to Marie Thomas,
IEC Administratvie Assistant, listed on the website.
There are other good prices to be found when purchasing through the IEC.
Computer software and peripherals, children's books like the IOWA
CHILDREN'S CHOICE AWARDS, accelerated reader titles, WESTON WOODS media
kits, the World Book Encyclopedia, office supplies, and more.
Q&A:
Records retention for e-rate?
Keep everything for 5 full years, keep for 6 calendar years and toss.
Anything that is a Consortia document we keep so keep that as long as
you want, I would suggest 3 years should be adequate.
Stuff from the government, SLD et. al., keep for the 6 years.
Other documents should be kept for 3 years unless your city wants you to keep them longer.
CONSORTIA & e-rate
Self filers:
FYI:
George McDonald [President of SLD] said that
they have fixed the library FSCS number entry issue on the 471.
Again, to clarify:
2 characters: state code
4 characters: library system code
3 characters: library branch or location
code (includes central library, bookmobiles, etc.)
Let me know if you or your member
libraries report any problems with this.
Consortia Members, if you have not gone to
a ICN e-rate session it is strongly recommended that you do so.
Wednesday, December 22, the State Library will sponsor an
ICN E-rate training session from 9:30-11:30.

NOTICE DISCLAIMER - pick one, any one will do.
MY disclaimer:
Basically my opinions are my own, shared by no one else (sometimes),
and are not the opinions of my agency,
my board, my co-workers, my parents, siblings, relatives, my dogs
or most any other know life form. Except, of course, those
very bright concerned, sensitive, perceptive &, in general, well
educated, widely read and cultured individuals who wish to share this
peculiar road to ruin, as well as a couple of down & out drugged
out beatniks from the good old days. OK? The "Prime Directive"
applies.

In this version of the Friday Notes 2 you would get just the new stuff and only once.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
PLEASE let me know what would be most useful to you.
Any and all suggestions are welcome and if you do not speak up you will
have to live with what someone else wants. The Friday Notes 2 is the
main sourse of information between the LSA & the libraries. It is
our weekly newspaper and the way the LSA communicates to you, as a
group. You are responable for the deadlines (over dues) listed in the
Friday Notes, such as e-rate.
There is no rule that says you can not take last weeks, or any other,
cut and paste, then send me your ideal version of the Friday Notes.
