<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Copy cataloging is becoming somewhat more complicated, as various
important creators of MARC records gradually switch from following AACR
rules to following RDA instructions for the records they make. RDA/MARC
records certainly look different than AACR/MARC records, and so do the
Hybrid AACR/MARC records that are also showing up for you to copy. But
the good news is that there are some straightforward patterns in the RDA
instructions that will help clarify the changes that RDA brings to our
copy cataloging process.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span>Looking for a different way for customers to recommend their favorite books or media? Try something like the <a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001CbpkN1HJI5UfxWCLjiZQ4PMHW4oPWMSNjbDn6GTCujuVlW5rceE6uGSAU27tOT6-EG4Gg3mMYSSBOKuZ4-hAi4agMEeTuDbqV57Nus44YNDdtmWbAQAWKPbcTyWTUfmk51cD7IXoX1RvFFiYwianckUi6eaYCsKg" shape="rect" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">Awesome Box</a> project at the </span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" shape="rect"><span>Somerville Public Library (Somerville, Massachusetts).</span></a></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
All a person has to do to recommend a title is drop the book in the
Awesome Box rather than the traditional book drop. After staff scans it
as returned, they scan it a second time. It then pops up on the
library's "awesome page." This is a quick, inexpensive way to highlight
favorite titles that combines the power of social networking with the
physical step of returning an item.

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It was a great day of fun and learning. We were pleased that the event was so popular that we had to increase capacity to accommodate 125 members.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />The Florida State University Information Institute’s Hurricane Preparedness & Response for Florida Public Libraries web portal has been updated and now features the 2013 NOAA Hurricane Outlook and recent Hurricane Preparedness workshops offered by Institute staff. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The web portal was created with the support of the Florida Catastrophic Storm Risk Management Center at FSU’s College of Business to assist public libraries and local communities better plan for, and respond to, hurricanes. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This web portal serves as an excellent resource for public libraries and assists them with:</span><br />
<ul>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Providing hurricane-related information resources, services, roles, and best practices related to hurricane preparedness;</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Developing model plans, standards, guidelines and recommendations for hurricane preparedness; and</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Discovering existing strategies that libraries use to assist state and regional government with disaster coordination; and</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Discovering Hurricane Preparedness training and organization opportunities and events sponsored by the Information Institute, the American Red Cross and other agencies. </span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Since many public libraries are underutilized community assets in disaster response, the web portal helps improve community hurricane preparedness.<br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Utilizing the service role of the public library, as part of a team of emergency responders, libraries aid a community’s hurricane response by doing the following:<br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">• <b>Among public librarians</b>: Encouraging public library managers and staff to better understand the roles, best practices, tools and resources available to them as they shape their library’s efforts to aid their community’s hurricane response and to aid the roles of their fellow responders, particularly emergency management, local government leadership, and other agencies;<br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">• <b>Among fellow responders</b>: Educating other responders such as emergency management, local government leadership and agencies, nonprofits and businesses about the roles public libraries may play, as part of a team, to aid in community hurricane preparation and recovery; and<br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">• <b>Among residents and evacuees</b>: Communicating to residents which hurricane preparation and recovery services they can count on at their public library.</span><br />
