The Plinkit 2.0 Users Manual has finally arrived, and we wanted to share it with those of you who are Plinkit newbies and those of you who are Plinkit gurus but are still scratching your heads over some of the changes made to 2.0. Finally, we can say, there’s documentation for that! It’s honkin’ big, so please give it a minute to load.

Please check out all of our fabulous workshops this coming year in our handy-dandy 2011 Continuing Education Calendar! If you’re a member library, you’ll be receiving a hardcopy in the mail this month. But for those that like the online (like me!), here’s a first look. From Westbank Community Library District’s August Newsflash Newsletter: Debating about an e-reader, trying to find e-books that don’t cost an arm and a leg, or wonder which apps work with your system? Try our e-book page. The Texas State Library & Archives Commission was awarded approximately $8 million from the federal government’s Recovery Act Investments program, with nearly $3.7 million in matching contributions, that will allow the Texas State Library & Archives Commission to deploy the Technology, Expertise, Access and Learning for all Texans (TEAL) project. The TEAL project will provide greater broadband computer access at faster speeds by upgrading 125 public computer centers and establish approximately 30 new centers equipped with 2,200 new workstations. In addition to the more than 125 jobs TEAL estimates the project will create, it will “provide a foundation for economic growth and job creation for decades to come.” Read more from the White House. Just a quick reminder that the CTLS Large Print Circuit Collections rotate on Friday, September 3! If you have any questions, please contact Katelyn Patterson. Did the Central Texas Library System help you this year? If the answer is yes (or even the opposite), please take a few minutes to complete this short survey. Your staff can also respond. Every answer will help us with future funding. Many thanks.
