All right, good morning and welcome to this week's edition of Encompass Live. I am your host, Krista Porter, here at the Nebraska Library Commission, excuse me, Encompass Live is the Commission's weekly webinar series where we cover a variety of topics that we have interest to libraries. Encompass Live is broadcast live every Wednesday morning at 10 a.m. Central Time, but if you're unable to join us on Wednesdays, that's okay. We do record the show every week and it is then posted to our website for you to watch and I'll show you at the end of today's show where you can see our archives and get to them there. We post into the archives the recording of the show and any slides, like here's the presentation that, excuse me, Amanda has this morning. We'll have a link to that for you as well. So if there is anything in these slides that you see that you want to websites or things that is mentioned, don't worry about trying to scribble down all the URLs or anything like that. You'll have access to this afterwards as well. We, both the live show and the archives are free and open to anyone to watch, so please do share with anyone you may think may be interested in any of our topics, friends, family, neighbors, colleagues out there. All of our archives are there and if people can watch them or any of our upcoming shows, let people know about them and encourage them to register. We do a mixture of things on the show, book reviews, interviews, demos of products and services, mini training sessions, basically anything that we think may be of interest to libraries. The Nebraska Library Commission is the state agency for libraries in the state of Nebraska and that is all types of libraries. So we have topics for public, academic, K-12 schools, correctional facilities, museums. We are all over the board. Libraries is really our only criteria, pretty wide ranging there. We do bring in guest speakers sometimes to speak on and help us live from around the state of Nebraska and across the country, but we also have sessions done by our own Nebraska Library Commission staff and that is what we have today. Yes. Next to me this morning is Amanda Sweet. She is our Technology Innovation Librarian here at the Nebraska Library Commission. Good morning. Good morning. And she's been in that position a year now. How long? How long? I can't remember now. Feels like forever? Yes. Recently, within the last year or so, was, yeah, good eyes on. I'll put it up to that and she recently, last month, attend, right? It was just last month. Yes, April. Yeah, I've got it right on the screen here. Attended the Computers and Libraries Conference in Washington, D.C. in the well, specifically was in Virginia this year. They vary. In the D.C. area, we'll call it. And she's going to show us some cool things that she learned at Computers and Libraries. I'm just going to hand it over to you to take it away. Tell us everything you need to know in an hour. Pressures. In an hour. So first, I'd like to start off by kind of covering what it actually is that I do. So a lot of the questions that I got both at the conference and as I've been traveling around doing some training for makerspace stuff is technology innovation librarian is a bright, shiny term. But what does it actually mean? So it's a giant game. I need to click onto it to get there. I should be able to. So what I actually do is reach out to people and reach out to different libraries and find out what they're looking for. I find out when you give me a call and say, this is a project I've been thinking about, would you be able to help me out with that? First, I'm going to start asking a few questions about what your library needs are, what your target audience is, what you've done in the past, what you're looking to do in the future, and kind of find out what might work well with your library and your patrons. And sometimes it's hard to ask for what you actually want because you don't know what exists yet. So another thing I do is try to track emerging tech trends. I go on like tech crunch, I go on CNET, I go on all across the internet, across different conferences and things like that. And I try to find out what's worth pursuing and when to implement it, how to implement it. Basically, I learn a whole bunch of stuff so I can work with you and make things happen. And I also go through and build different tutorials. Sometimes it's on request, sometimes it's just something that I think different libraries will need. And one I'm working on in particular is WordPress tutorials. Oh, sure. Yeah. Because of the libraries on the web that you have. Yes. So I'm kind of revamping that site right now to try to update a little bit and give you the information that'll actually help you out. I know WordPress does lots of updates and it can be frustrating that you've learned how to do something and then you change it all. Yeah. What are you doing to me? I learned how to do that a year ago and now it's different. Pretty much. So that's one of the things I'm working on right now. And so right now, the purpose of this presentation is to give you a better idea of what I just found out is out there. A lot of this stuff you're going to find out that you've probably already heard about. But some of these presentations gave a new spin on it, gave different applications for it. And we'll just show you some possibilities. So a few other things that we covered are, you'll notice that there's an exclamation point after robots. I love robots. They're awesome. So and there's also a lot of geospatial based apps that are out there. There are some apps that you can download that will let you load in pictures and descriptions so that as say, for example, a patron walks into the library, they have their smart device on there and they walk up to the reference desk and say, what did the library used to look like in 1920? And you can actually build a historical tour of your library so that as the patron walks through and they hit certain geographical locations within the library, a picture or a description of pop-up of what it used to be. So that's kind of something that one of the presenters was twining around with. And they actually repurposed an existing app to kind of fit that new need. And they've also used a similar concept to kind of map out the location of different call numbers in the library. So if you have like a four-story library and you want to be able to tell patrons that are just walking in the door, this is where your book is open up this app and this is how you can get to it. And if you're really fancy, you can and you have a strong Wi-Fi connection, you can do the tracking that'll say, turn left here at the stack, like your GPS and your Google Mix or something. Turn left at half a mile ahead. Hopefully your library won't be that big, but yeah. Ten steps ahead. And this isn't new. It's been around, but we're gaining more applications for it. And now that people are starting to become more aware of it, you can do a lot more with it. And VR, virtual reality is huge right now. There's still a lot of things to work out with the system, namely disorientation. I guess the biggest thing I equate with virtual reality is we all fall down because you put on this virtual reality headset.   So you start taking three steps forward into virtual reality and trip over a chair in real reality. But there's a lot of, there's open source options for VR and there is, I'll get more into that a little bit later on. But you can just take a quick review of this and we'll just get started on some of the more specifics of the possibilities. Of course I start out with robots. And the picture that you see on the slide here is from the Dashing Dot, right? And a lot of you may have already seen this. But the presentation that I went to Dashing to Code by Cynthia Cookson, she covered a lot of the, she'd made a lot of worksheets for different age ranges to be able to apply this robot in either schools or in the library. And she is more than willing to share these. So if you want to go to the computers and library website or even just reach out to her, she's, she's awesome. I talked to her after the presentation. And so something that I thought about during that presentation is do people, do high school students, do adults, does everyone know that when you pull up this wizard that'll let you program your robot? There's a code behind that. So if you've ever used the Lego Mindstorms, which is the one that we use through Light Renovation Studios, whenever you, it'll pull up an app and it'll let you go, I want this robot to move forward.  And then you change the settings on there to say, I want this robot to go forward for three seconds. But there's a code behind that. And it links into a Linux-based computer that's connected down to the robot. And it just interpret, it automatically interprets that into the code, which is what the Linux-based computer operates on. And students are interested in that. They don't always want to just go, what's a cool wizard? When they just stop there. Yeah, they want to know what made it work. That's what these robots are supposed to be teaching kids or anybody using it is the code. And you said robots are cool, which is a totally true thing. And it's fun for a bit, but yeah, it's supposed to be saying, and how did we make it do this thing? We have the control and here's all the what's behind the scenes there. So I did a little more research into robots, and specifically the Lego Mindstorms, because that happens to be the one that we use. We have access to those here. Yeah. So I found out some of the major coding languages that they use students or anyone wanted to hack their bot. Lego chose Linux because it's easy to hack. And so they have Lego started putting together different options to hack in using Python, you can use Java, you can use, they actually have this huge resource available online that'll show you which coding language you prefer. You can choose the coding language you prefer. And then there's an app that you can interact with that will let you learn more and work more with that. It's easier if you go on to the website and I can add that as a resource later on because I forgot to put it on the slide here. Sure. That's on the Lego Mindstorms website. That's the light on there. Yeah, yeah. EV3DEV, I think I'm pretty sure is the address for it, but I'll double check. But kids want to learn more about this. There's like a thirst for knowledge about this. And as librarians, no one will learn more about it. We don't need to know how to use Python, but we can tell them where to go to learn it. And that's how we do most of our jobs. Exactly. I have no idea what that is, but let's find out for you. And then after you learn Python, maybe you want to use, you want to learn C++ and you want to start building your own robot. And you can do it even just out of found objects. And that's actually one of the tutorials that I've been involved in to actually get time to put together. How to build your own robot? That was something, yeah. But hopefully soon. Anyway, moving right along. We already covered a lot of this during my review of some of the initial possibilities. But I mean, you can do the historical tours and oh, and you can also partner with different museums. So, for example, we have a lot of historical museums that are dotted across Nebraska. And this could be an awesome resource for them. If they don't have the funds to actually get more physical objects in their space, you can supplement what's there already with the virtual tour. And it also gives you more flexibility in your exhibits and flexibility in how much you can cover and when. And now we're back to virtual reality. You'll see on the headset that's on the right over there. It says OSBR. That stands for open source virtual reality. And it's not a perfect system yet. They're working on it. They're still working on it. But it's available with a lot of development toolkits to be able to not necessarily build your own headset, but be able to play around with the... So I don't want to get that much into how VR actually works, like, because this is only an hour long. That could be a whole different. But it'll give you more flexibility in trying to build your own games and how virtual reality actually works. And I also found during my research, I found that there are three high school students in France and their teacher who built their own virtual reality headset because they couldn't afford the $700 plus Oculus Rift. Right. So I thought that resource is out there. Why don't we do it? So that's kind of another thing that I've had in the back of my mind, just kind of stirring around back there. And there's also one-on-one tech assistance here. So this kind of goes along with the same vein of we don't need to have all the answers right away. Half of them, one-on-one tech assistance is showing people what you did to find the answer and empower them to find it themselves. Reader. Exactly. Raft S101. And so say, for example, you want to teach someone how to use their smartphone device. You can, you pretty much already know how to Google and find out what's out there. You can go to the, say for example, you have a Samsung Galaxy. You can go to the Samsung Galaxy. They have forums that'll show you to do that. Patrons don't necessarily know this exists already. And you can just kind of help them out by putting them in the right direction and showing them you can even put together a reference, like a ref style information sheet that'll say, this is the route that I went through to find this answer. This is the source and different things like that. And in order to justify starting a program like that, it's important to track what you actually help patrons with. So say, for example, you do manage to convince your library to be able to start this one-on-one assistance to help with handheld devices, to help with a printer that they might have at home, with different tech that they come across in their everyday lives. We can't cover everything. It's impossible. It's too much stuff. But we can build a spreadsheet of what we did help people with. And then we can tell, we can justify continuing or starting this program by saying, we helped 31 patrons this month with their Samsung Galaxy or with their smartphone. Or we helped 42 patrons in the last four months with their HPPC. But there's possibilities. And you can also go to the Computers and Libraries website and Jason Pinchauer has his presentation slides that are available on there. And now this was kind of a cool thing that I came across. This is also definitely not entirely new, but there's new applications for it. So the Library of Things, it can be the library that was doing the presentation, Arlesboro, and I'm probably good for things pronouncing this. But they actually had household devices. So they had a cake pot maker and they had a bread maker appliances that you don't use regularly. So you want to invest in them at your house and use it once a year or less. Exactly. Yeah, that's cool. Cake pans, of course, have been a very common thing. Just the pans because your kid is really into Thomas the Tank Engine this year. So you're going to make a cake this time. But next year they want Power Rangers. It's always something. And it doesn't have to be incredibly expensive stuff. During the presentation, they mentioned that they got a lot of it from Goodwill. And apparently there's a lot of people who get cake pot pans for Christmas and then decide they don't have a use for it. So they take it to Goodwill and it's almost brand new. But they didn't have good applications for it. And a cake pot pan doesn't necessarily have to be just for cake pots. It can be for school projects or it can be for making perfect spears out of play of anything. But it's mainly putting the item in front of people so that they can let the imagination take over and use different applications for something they may have never imagined before. And in the same vein as that, there's tech kits. So these can be a wide variety of price points. So right now with the Library Innovation Studios, we have the Arduino Uno. And that is basically a little circuit board that you can use to, you can connect a light bulb and a battery to it to close the circuit and make the light bulb light up. But the Arduino Uno costs maybe $25, $30. You can also get a robe of copper tape, a piece of cardstock, a battery and a light bulb and get the same thing. So there's more than one way to do things. And if you were to just grab those things from any hobby store using your 40% off Joanne Fabrics Keep On, which I just used last weekend. Then you can do the exact same thing for a lot cheaper and you can reach more libraries by doing it. And you can also, if you happen to magically have the funding or find a grant, there's a lot of different sources out there that you can put together little tubs full of tech kits and mail them out to libraries across the state or mail them. Basically, if you know how the book club kit works through the commission here, it works essentially the same way. But there's a lot of different applications for it. You basically just do the advertising, let people know that it exists. And then instead of a policy saying, this is how we're going to handle damaged items, this is how we're going to handle there's all that practical behind the scenes things that you have to write. Yeah, yeah, plan for. You mentioned grants and things for these to get something more, more pricey expensive. Anything nowadays related to STEM or STEAM, they're adding betting arts back into it, depending on which acronym you want to use, is really popular now. And lots of grants that will be giving money specifically to those kinds of projects, definitely. So if that's something you can come up with and put it in that kind of vein, you can definitely get some funding from various sources to put these together for your own library. Can you back out the projects for you? And I love the free online tools here. I had no idea that there was a database out there that would let me look up the entire script from an episode of The Simpsons. But okay, it was awesome. The whole script. Sure. Yeah. If you needed to know who said what went. But there's also more practical applications, like finding out the colors from a website. If you're trying to design like in your middle of the designing, it'll pull up the there's options in there. If you find something that you like and you want to replicate it down or something. Yeah. Any of you want to find out the number correspondence of what that color actually is. So you can count it into your code. And then you can also, you can also find out the fonts of different websites. I checked out this tool and it works most of the time. But as with anything, it gets close enough. Yeah. But I'm kind of working on building a list of useful online resources, partially based on what I heard from Laura Solomon, who she found some pretty creative stuff in there. That was pretty good. And just a few that I came across previously or that I heard about. The internet is a huge and grand, wonderful place. Yeah. But it's hard to find the time to poke around and see what's actually out there. Yeah. That's the thing. There's so many free tools or tools that have free for the might have heard of that were paid that still have a free version of it. Yeah. That for many of the things that we do in libraries is plenty. You don't need to pay necessarily for the level that gets you the business version or whatever they call it on there. You know, sometimes there's an educational version of some of these tools that you've thought of that would be too much. You know, you can't pay for that. There's all so many things out there. Yeah. And one I recently came across was blueberry software has a free version of a screen recorder with an audio option. So when you're recording tutorials, you don't have to pay for it. It'll let you do it. Blueberry software have a free version of it. But okay. And we all know we've seen these everywhere, but this presentation took a new slant on it. She talked more about different applications for using GIFs. Depends on who you listen to. GIF. The creator of it says it's GIF. But people have their opinions. Yeah. Basically, however you say it, I know what you mean. But it stands for graphics interchange format. And there's multiple different ways that you can put it together. I put GIFE on here because it's a popular site. It's easy to use. It's free. And there's all, but you can also, if you're making a still image instead of just an animation, then you can also use something like GIF or anything like that. And if you haven't already made a GIF before, it's basically, there's a few different ways you can do it. You can take a series of still frame images and then compile them together to make an animation, sort of like you would do stop motion. Or you can also take a snippet of a video and just pull that out and overlay text over it. Or you can take a still frame image, like the one that's in the upper right there, and you can just overlay text over it. Or you can load it into a website called GIFE. Basically, if you Google GIF generator, they're everywhere. Actually, I looked it up and I was wrong. I had it backwards because it's hard to remember. The creator of the format, graphics interchange format, did declare in 2013 that it should be pronounced like GIFE, like the brand of peanut butter. Not with the hard G. But people still argue about it and say he's wrong, which I don't really understand because he's the creator. He should be the end. But no. People all listen. But the Oxford English Dictionary, he does accept both pronunciations, GIFE or GIFE. But he says GIFE. So podcasting has been around for a while. The term podcasting is kind of a it's a merge between broadcasting and iPod podcast. So it's kind of taken off recently. You can do, usually it's a series of audio or you can also add video to it. You can use it to build tutorials, to do marketing. You can also put out as you're doing tutorials, you can send out podcasts to say, I just updated this and this is what you can look up for in the future. You can do informational stuff. You can do outreach. Possibilities are pretty much endless. Podcasts to me, I kind of think because I know some people don't know what they are or just don't get it. I kind of think they miss because you mentioned you can add video but typically a podcast is just audio. So it's similar to a radio show but available online. So that you can listen to on your devices. Like you do, you listen to an audio book, you can listen to your podcasts from your phone. As opposed to what we do here on Encompass Live which is a combination of audio and video which people are calling either webcasts, webcasts because you add in the visual in the slides or websites or webinars. It has varying terms. When you add in the visual part of it. Yeah, technicalities. And a lot of them you can post to your own website or you can go to a third party website. And so if you don't want to worry about hosting your own site but you still want to get your stuff out there, there are options for doing that as well. And if people are interested I can start building kind of like a start to finish. Like building a conceptualizing your idea, building a theme, making sure it actually fits with your audience. And kind of getting the word out there and then finding out where to post it and then post marketing too. But as you can see there's quite a few tutorials that I had in mind. There's only so much time left. But and you can also add a music backdrop to the podcast. But that gets you to be like a little intro. Yeah. So you can do intro music. I've seen some of the music based podcasts that are out there. People have added a low music track to the background of the entire thing. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I love your relationship with it too. I've seen it work and I've seen it not work. So depends how adventurous you want to be. Usually I've seen it as they've you find not copyrighted little snippets of music or public access, public domain music. Just give yourself a little intro. You know, this is our theme music and it's just for the first 10 seconds.  Sort of like what audience looks do sometimes. Yeah. But possibilities. And now makerspace. So if you've heard about library innovation studios, and I'm sure that a lot of you have, it is Nebraska's the library commission's version of the makerspace movement. So we basically got a collection of four sets of different equipment that are traveling around Nebraska. And they go to different libraries for 20 week intervals. And the trainers here at the library commission and at UNL, we go out and train librarians and how to use the equipment. But makerspaces are basically just making stuff. It doesn't have to be super tacky. It can be you can either you can even just use a craft room if you want to do that. It doesn't have to be the most expensive thing on the planet or it can be upwards of thousands of dollars. It just depends on what you have at your disposal and how ambitious you want to get. But there's a little so much you can do with it. And they've been around for a while. So there's resources out there. And I know we were talking about before you don't have to reinvent the wheel. Yes. Yeah. So you can just go through. It feels like Google knows all because it's like you can go through search for the information and just tweak policies and tweak instruction to fit what you need. Yeah. Our library and admission studios, there's a total of 30 libraries in the state that are part of the program that are getting these the equipment we have. But we have on our website, we are posting all the information about this equipment, what it is, the model, the brand, the specifics of what it can do, videos of how to use it, instructional guides on how to use it in your library. So when we've got ours, you're saying don't have to reinvent the wheel and figure out what do I do? What do I how do I teach somebody this? Go to our websites if you want the same thing because of what we have and borrow our stuff and use it. You know, change the logo. But yeah, give us credit saying, hey, we've got this idea or this info in there. But yeah, you're going to find a lot. You don't have to start from scratch anymore. Yeah. Yeah. Which is great. And now that makerspaces have been around for a while, they're starting to evolve more. You'll see on the slide it says evolving into solve spaces. What a solve space is. It's like the next level of makerspace. So you know how I was talking before about the robotics? A lot of makerspaces now are just kind of showing kids, this is a robot. This is sort of how it works. This is how you can build a program to make it go through an obstacle course. A solve space would be showing them how to hack the bot, showing them advanced level projects that they can do to reach the next level. And you can even start, I can ramble on a lot of this, but I won't. But you can also, you can start building different tech kits that are related to this as well. And start building different tutorials, partnering up with other libraries and reaching out to find out what's already been done, what could be done. Basically just gathering information into one spot and finding out different possibilities. And also telling people that this is what this machine is, but this is how it can be used in real life. This is how it's been used on a grander scale. I'll use the example here of our 3D printer. Our 3D printer is about 21 inches by 21 inches, if I'm remembering right, give or take. And so it's somewhat limiting as to what you can print on there. Oh, it's something so big. Right. Or you can build something modular and put it together. Like if you got really ambitious, you could actually print the pieces to build your own vacuum robot. And then you could learn how to code it using either Python or C++ and then teach people how to do that. That'll be awesome. But the possibilities are endless out here. And I just went to, I was actually just at a training at a different library yesterday. And I had just showed them how to use the 3D printer. And I showed them how to get to Thingiverse that has all the different pre-made 3D objects. But then one of the, there was a teenage volunteer there who asked, well, how can I make my own? So I showed him TinkerCAD. And I actually, we wound up spending the second half of the session just playing with TinkerCAD. And I showed them how to colon an item from Thingiverse and manipulate it using TinkerCAD. Or you can use SketchUp, which is powered by Google, because Google knows everything. But there's different options out there. You just want to look at things as an open possibility. And so I also added in at the end of the 3D printer that what they're doing in the future with 3D printing, like gel suspension, and they also built an entire house using only 3D printing. And yeah, that's one thing 3D printers, it's, they're not quick yet. Hopefully they will be. But no, if you're going to make something, you're going to be spending, you'll be learning a lot of patience. And they're also making new prosthetic limbs out of it. And MIT has a lot of things that they're using it for. They have their own really, really high tech version of the makerspace that I won't even go. But there's a lot of things you can do. That's my main point here. And if you want help, give me a call. That's what I'm here for. Get just started, absolutely. Yeah. And speaking of that. Hi. Do we have questions? Okay. Awesome. So, did you want to show the CIL website? You were going to, yeah. Was it over there? You should be able to click down. I've got the, how did you click? It's, there we go. Yep. So this is the main computers and libraries website. You can also get to it just again by Googling computers and libraries 2018. And the presentations with the downloadable slides, not every presentation that uploads in your slide, but there are events on the each presenter. Yeah, did or not. Yeah. They just click on presentations. And if there's a blue link, you're good to go. And I also took notes on the sessions that I did go to. So if you do happen to have more questions about the specific sessions that I went to, that I wasn't able to cover during this part, during this one hour session, then you can definitely feel free to give me a call. We can talk about it from here notes. So anybody have any questions, anything you want to ask Amanda about any of the things that she mentioned? This was obviously not, as you said, not delving in very deep to each of these topics, but just, you know, some of the highlights of things that were going on. We presented it at computers and libraries. So if you have any questions about any of those things, you want to know more details on or anything about computers and libraries or any of these things you see here. There were obviously many, many other sessions. Yeah. It's three day conference, or is that count three conference? It was three day regular and it was five day free. Yeah. So yeah, three days is the standard. Yeah, the basic, but then there's one more. And it is annual conference in the Washington DC area. It varies each year. Sometimes they go to different hotels or conference centers, but this year specifically just nearby in Arlington Virginia. So if you have any questions, type into your questions section and Amanda can answer anything you want to know. I've actually attended computers and libraries three years ago. I went for maybe five or six years. I can't remember. And it is a good conference. Yeah. It's, it is, you know, for us here in the Midwest, getting out to the coasts, you know, to gain costs, you know, or something. But it's nice that it's a smaller conference attendance-wise, as opposed to something like ALA or PLA, which are so many more people. Yeah. You can really get more focused on different sessions. You want to be attendant and learn more. The sessions are smaller. The, just the groups of people there are smaller, so you can connect, I think, easier with networking and, you know, with a smaller group. And if anyone has any projects in mind that they wanted to get a little bit of assistance on, then you can definitely either type it in now or you can give me a call and Yeah, anything you're interested in. Yeah, reach out to me. We've got very informative, thank you. As we said, this was just a little start and we definitely recommend going to the site here to see some of the presentations that were done, so you can get more details. It doesn't look like anybody is typing in anything desperate that they want to know now. While we were chatting, just waiting to see if anybody had anything. If not, that's fine. You know where to find Amanda here at the library commission. Contact her if you have any questions about anything on the presentation at the computers and libraries, or if you want to do innovate with anything at your library. You said at the beginning about what your job is here. That's what she's for, so if you're looking for advice, input, guidance on any of those kind of things, she'll be doing that. It's also with our Rascal Libraries on the web project. If you're looking for a website for your library, that's something that she's working on updating. I know we had, as I said, Wordpress had some training up about that, but a little bit of updating the things. Our website for Nebraska Libraries on the web, if you go to it right now, some of the videos are still a touch out of date because it's been about, I think it was about 2014 that some of those were loaded in. Wordpress has updated several times since then. Right now I'm kind of building a few tutorials that are a little more general that might kind of account for a few of the updates that might happen in the near future. Right. And then also working on linking to resources that will be more current and will be updated more frequently. Don't reinvent the wheel, like I said. There we go. You follow your own advice, that's good. All right. All right. Well, it doesn't look anybody typing anything right now, so I think that will be good. We'll wrap it up today. Thank you very much, Amanda, for this is great. I know I do look at computers and libraries, and they also have a partner conference, I'm not sure, in California, the other one. I've truly blinked on what it is, the one in Monterey that they do today. So that I do just for ideas and things and what's going on in the technology world. Internet Librarian, that's it. Internet Librarian is like the sister conference to computers and libraries on each coast. Internet Librarian is in Monterey, California. Here's in libraries is in DC area, both run by Info Today Company and on each coast. And there's also code for live too. Which is even more, well, this is new from the name of code, more techie. Yeah, getting into coding tech, so if that's something you want to learn more about. All right. So I think we'll wrap it up today. We will have the presentation available, we'll have a link to that. Just email me that, whatever your link that you like, the sharing link. And the recording. I'm going to go to our Encompass Live website. Actually, if you've got the key word there, type in Encompass Live. And so far, Encompass Live, we're the only thing called this on the internet, so far. So you'll find our website here. We'll have a recording should be available to you this afternoon. This is our upcoming shows, our upcoming schedule. We scroll down right after our upcoming sessions, we have our archives. And this will get you our, all of our archives. This is our most recent one, which we had, we just had a recording last week, they didn't do a presentation slides, they just had showed their website. But I think we had, there we go. Yeah. So this one, we'll have a link to presentation, links to recording available. And it will be here at the top of the list. These are most recent one at the top. Encompass Live, we are actually in our 10th year of the show. Wow. So we have here our archives going back all the way to the very beginning. And I'm going to scroll down here. So if you have concern with that, close your eyes, all the way to the bottom of this page. We do have our archives going all the way back to the very beginning, 2009. Here up on our YouTube channel. So if you wanted to, you can go back to the very beginnings, our show when we started. But you keep in mind, because this is going back to 2009, there is going to be some old outdated information on here. But everything has a date on it. So you know exactly when it was broadcast live and when that information was relevant for that time. But we do have everything there. We will always keep everything there. We're librarians, we archive and save things. That's what we do. So they are there and they will stay there for as long as we can move it. So let's scroll back up to the top here. We also have a search feature here now on our archives. So if you want to find something about a specific topic, it will search for any, in the title, in the description, the presenter's names. You can search the entire archives or just the most recent year if you're looking for something just new if you want to. So this will be on here later this afternoon. I'll send an email out to everyone who attended today and everyone who registered letting you know it's available and also posting on our social media and website what that the new show is available. We are also on Encompass Live, or Encompass Live is also on Facebook. There it goes. So if you are a big Facebook user, give us a like over there and you'll be notified of what's going on with the show up here. Also when our recording is available, here's one for today where I just reminded people to log in for today's show. But we have all of our previous sessions here. So if you are, if you like to use Facebook, you'll get notified a couple of times a week what's going on with Encompass Live. Other than that, that will wrap up for today's show. I hope you join us next week when our topic is the 2018 One Book One Nebraska title, Nebraska Presence and Anthology of Poetry. This is our book for this year, a collection of poetry. And we will next week be talking about it, what's going on with that, things you can do in your library to start reading rooms, promote it, use it, and in your area. The editors of the book will be with us Greg, because Mickey and Mary Kaye Stillwell will be here with us next week talking about it.

This is stock number 9798. We are here at Summit Automotive in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. You're new and used heavy-duty truck headquarters. Today we are checking out this super clean 2007 Chevy Silverado 3500 crew cab long box dual rear wheel. This truck has the 6.6 liter Duramax diesel with the LMM motor which gives you 365 horsepower. Summit white is the color we shoot all of our videos in 1080p so if you have HD capabilities on your computer tablet or a smartphone device, I highly suggest you turn them on right now so you get the most accurate representation of the vehicle as possible before you even get here. The rockers look pretty good. It has these steel rims on it. It has travel star LT 215 85R 16 tires. These tires have a good bit of tread left. I'd say 70 to 80%. The hood's in nice condition. I didn't see any major dents or dings on that. And considering the age and miles on this truck, really really nice condition. Front bumper, factory fog lights. This tire has just as much tread as the driver's side. And as you go down this side of the truck, you can see just how clean the body is, how reflective and mirror-like that paint is. It does have the 3M guards on the duly tubs. And those tubs are in nice shape. Didn't see any major dents or cracks on it. And the cab's in nice condition as well. I didn't see any major dents or dings down this side. Lower rockers are all in pretty nice condition. Back tires, just as much tread as the front tires. And the frame and underbody. It's in nice condition as well. You can see those box rails looking really good. That's where you always want to check. We did undercoat this truck. Has all the remaining factory exhaust. Very clean all the way underneath. And the lower rockers are very very nice as well. Didn't see any corrosion. As we come around to the back of the truck, rear bumper is in nice shape. Tailgate, nice shape as well. And it does have a spray-in superliner as a gooseneck hitch. A little bit of light duty usage in here is a 35 hunter. And on this side the truck just as clean as that passenger side. And for full disclosure, these back tires have just as much tread as all the rest. And those back rims are in nice condition. It does have the telescopic tow mirrors with the built-in directional signals. These mirrors do telescope out like that and they also fold in. Inside the LTZ package gives you the black leather interior. Both of these seats are heated. No rips or tears on them. Both of these seats are power. Factory all-weather floor mats throughout has auto head lamps turned out four-wheel drive and factory brake controller. This truck is originally from Texas so that's why it's so clean underneath. Power windows, power locks, power mirrors. Heated seats and memory driver seat. You can see the dash is in nice condition. A lot of times these new body style Chevy's a lot of times the dash is all beat up and broke up. But this one's pretty good other than that little corner over there. But for the most part it's in really nice condition. Has the six-speed automatic Allison transmission, factory navigation. I believe it has AM, FM and serious XM radio capabilities. Has the Bose sound system. Has cruise controls and audio controls on the right and for the most part steering wheel is in nice condition. Dual climate control, power pedals, factory all-weather floor mat on that side. And the passenger seat is in really nice condition as well. This one does come with the power sunroof and the power slide rear window and your home link buttons up there for your garage doors, security systems and lighting systems, compass, temperature mirror and on-star capabilities. Take a quick look at the back seats and then we'll check out under the hood. Back seats are just as clean as the front seats. No rips or tears back here. Does have the latch child safety system for your car seats, that power slide rear window and the carpeting and all-weather floor mats are in pretty nice condition back here. Didn't see any major rips or tears. Whoops, sorry about that. Take a quick look under the hood. I'd personally like to thank you for checking out the video today. Hopefully from this to HD video you'll have been able to tell just how clean this truck is all the way around inside. No. Under the hood we have the 6.6 liter Duramax diesel LMM motor.

Suzanne's former village-like compound was situated on a hillside in the Mesa neighborhood just south of downtown Palm Springs, California. A desert city which is known for its hot springs, lux hotels, golf courses, and spas. Suzanne and Alan purchased this legendary compound decades ago after they tied the knot as an escape from their main home in Venice, California, and they happily lived here for over 40 years. Standing 28 acres, the beautiful property has a unique layout with four individual villas and a main house which Suzanne spoke about in the past. According to listing materials, this property is known as one of the most prolific estates in the Mesa neighborhood.
