Thanks for checking out this video that is all about what is coming to shutter in April. Yes I actually signed up with shutter to get on to their list for media So that they would just send me any sort of press releases and I already got my first press release from them So awesome. So I just want to do these videos when I can For anyone who has shutter or anyone who's potentially thinking about getting shutter to kind of highlight. Hey, what's coming up in the next month? Movies and shows wise that's kind of like worth talking about. So this is for what's coming out in April And the day I'm putting this up people get excited because tomorrow Tomorrow Joe Bob Briggs the last drive in with Joe Bob Briggs if people don't know about Joe Bob Briggs look him up Look up the trailer for the show. Basically. He's like an late-night Movie host horror movie host and he just kind of like gives extra information about certain films and Jokes around a little bit in between instead of having commercials. So super cool So let's dig into it already So one thing they want they pointed out There's a show that's coming to shutter on April 8th, and it is called The Haunted and it apparently is a TV show based on Ed and Lorraine Warren cases So there, you know the the subject matter for movies like the Conjuring the Conjuring 2 Annabelle stuff like that. So if people are interested in that that's one They are pushing Lizzie a movie called Lizzie it as Chloe Savigny in it Savini Savigny and Kristen Stewart. Those are the big names. This is their big one. They're pushing It's available April 11th, and it says it's a social abcast living a claustrophobic life that's ready to boil over in its dark moody retelling of notorious 1892 axe murder of the Borden family in Fall River, Massachusetts But yeah people who are familiar with the Lizzie Borden ordeal. That's what this is going to be So that's one to keep an eye out for monster party is another one They're really highlighting this one's available April 25th, and it has Robin Tony in it That's the only name. I really recognized she was from the craft one of the women in the craft Three small-time burglars poses caterers for a fancy dinner party at an extravagant mansion But their plan for the perfect heist goes horribly wrong when they discovered that the family and their guests are actually a support group of recovering serial killers Yeah, that one sounds interesting to me. I will definitely check that out. I I'm On the Lizzie one, maybe maybe not. I know a lot about the story. It doesn't Interest me that much because I I've heard about it so much So I'm in the middle on the Lizzie one definitely want to check out monster party and the haunted one not for me I don't really like ghost stories haunted house things things like that every now and then but for the most part not my thing Then they're pushing the fact that the last drive-in with Joe Bob Briggs starts now This isn't just a one-time deal in the past. They were doing Just kind of like a special thing with him. It's much more than that right now he's doing a Weekly show it'll be every Friday night starting at 9 p.m. It'll be double features From what I understand is going nine weeks and then after that hopefully there's enough Support that they'll renew for another season or whatever they want to call it so Double feature every Friday night starting at 9 starting tomorrow from when I put this up tomorrow Yeah, so that's what the last drive-in is I'm very excited. They're doing a halfway to Halloween thing Which is gonna be awesome. This is available Available April 1st so from the get-go so next week people be ready for this They are putting up the first five Halloween movies Halloween's one through five. Yes Season of the witch is in there Halloween 3 my favorite of them I mean obviously the first Halloween is amazing But season of the witch is kind of my sweet spot gets me right here where it's a movie That's like not a good movie, but it's fun because it's not good. You know what I'm saying So they're calling that halfway to Halloween because they're saying we're basically halfway to Halloween So watch all these Halloween movies to get you excited. We're getting there. So That's cool. I like that. They're doing that also dropping April 1st basic instinct. Okay I'm not gonna go into descriptions of all of these only if I think they need it people You know about basic basic instinct. I've seen it. It's a good film. I don't know I mean it is horror to a degree, but it's not like extreme horror Good film clover field If you like it you like it, I don't it's there's way too much movement with the camera I'm not a fan of that it literally was making me feel ill when I watched the film There's also some stuff in it that really doesn't make sense to me But yeah, I mean we can talk more about that down in the comments if you want to on clover field I'm just not a big fan People know that too dead silence. That's that's here's another one. This is this is one done by James Wan It was like a puppet like a ventriloquist and and like possessed puppet type thing People really hated it. I saw it a few years ago and I was just like, alright, let's see It's not that bad, but I did go into it with the expectation of it being like terrible So it's not terrible. I'd say it's worth one watch. So go ahead The legend of Hell House. This is a 1973 film Millionaire hires a team of paranormal investigators to determine whether his newly acquired mansion is haunted I've seen it. It is a good film. I would recommend that one There's a lot of older stuff that I feel like people don't gravitate to nowadays that you should definitely check out because it is good Legend of Hell House is a good one race with the devil also from 1975 Don't know about this. So let me read this after two vacationing couples accidentally witnessed a satanic cults human sacrifice They find themselves being pursued by the devil worshipers Okay, no Peter Fonda. There's a name. I recognize Peter Fonda's in it That's one that I might check out. That sounds kind of interesting then dropping April 8th We have one called three women. It's from 1977 and Robert Altman is in it. No that name Three very different women come together at a spa for the elderly and infirmed One becomes wrapped up in the life of another and surprises the others with how far she will go to keep their relationship intact Shelly Duvall sit and Sissy Spaciker in it. So The pedigree of acting in it great. So I do think I'll be trying to check out that one Also from 1997 the car and this one's also all the ones I'm saying right now are coming out April 8th And then when there's another date, I'll tell you what that is So the car from 1977 when a small town is terrorized by an by an indestructible Demonically possessed car. It's up to the sheriff to stop it Yes, please. It sounds absurd. It sounds interesting. Sounds like it could be fun. Sign me up I'm gonna do that one the haunted already talked about that one. That one's 1991 Let me see if there are any big names in it. No, no big names really tales from the crypt 1972 three tales of terror based on story. No, we don't need to do that one It's it's an anthology basically if people are familiar with tales from the crypt. That's what it is April 15th, these are the movies coming out April 15th on there blew my mind the color blue it's from 2017 so it's relatively new Bruce Campbell's in it. I feel like it's a mandatory Gotta see for me because Bruce Campbell. I love Bruce Campbell, which I'm gonna be meeting him in The first weekend of October, I believe at Monster Mania 44. I think it is Blew my mind 15 year old Mia's teenage rebellion takes an unexpected turn when her body begins to transform into something Not quite human Sounds good I'll definitely check it out. Like I said, Bruce Campbell. Gotta 2017 release psychopaths the paths of multiple serial killers cross over one single blood soaked tonight That sounds like a great promise. I will definitely check that one out Um No names that I recognize in that one, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I will check that out So the here now films dropping on April 22nd Dead Birds to 2005 release a group of Confederate soldiers hole up in an abandoned plantation after robbing a bank and find themselves at the mercy of supernatural forces Henry Thomas is in it who was in the haunting of Hill House, which I'm watching currently I know I'm a little late to that but I'm loving it at the moment People know him most as Elliot from ET blah blah blah, but I knew him mainly from Suicide Kings great movie with um Why am I blanking Christopher Walken in it? Really good movie. That's the only big name in it. Henry Thomas, but Dead Birds doesn't sound like anything I'm really gonna check out to be honest Yeah 2017 release called most beautiful island an undocumented woman struggling in New York City is offered an Opportunity she can't refuse but soon discovers she's involved in a dangerous game Maybe oh Larry Fessenden is in it. I like Larry Fessenden. He does a lot for the horror community By the way, he doesn't he puts a lot into film. He's not just an actor. He writes. He directs. He does all sorts of stuff Then April 29th. There is a series of Pusher films pusher. I'll just read you the first one and then there's the two sequels 1996 release of the original pusher. This is a Nicholas Winding Reffen one, which I probably won't see for that reason And I'll read you the description. I'll tell you why Frank's life as a drug dealer is perfect until the police catch him en route to deliver heroin Before he can be arrested. He dumps the smack, but his troubles are not over for the buyer demands his money back So I'm assuming that that's more of like a horror because of extreme violence and brutality So but oh But Mads Mickelson isn't it? I really love Mads Mickelson. He does such a wonderful job If people haven't seen Hannibal the show Hannibal that was on Fox Mads Mickelson plays Hannibal Lecter and he does a fun nominal job Also, the the type of kills that they were able to and crime scenes they were able to get away with in that on Regular cable is insane in my opinion. It's it's good I've only watched through the first season, but I really liked it. I will be going back So yeah, so they have pusher and then there's two and three other than Mads Mickelson I don't see any other big names and it looks like Mads Mickelson's only in the first two Nicholas Winden Refn, Winding Refn.  I'm just gonna make it look awesome And they're just like yeah, whatever about the story Although I will say with Mandy there is an interesting story there It's just a story that only needed an hour not two hours and I will concede the film looked really good But when you're making things that slow and the story doesn't support a pacing like that It's just not good in my opinion But Nicholas Winding Refn is a very similar person and only God forgives is so terrible and What came out of that lost river is also so terrible actually better than it's better than only God forgives But it's still not good The only thing that I have seen of his that I really did enjoy and a lot of people did was drive With Ryan Gosling in it. I think it was drive I'm getting mixed up between drive and baby driver at the moment But I'm pretty sure it was drive had an awesome soundtrack looked great pretty good that one slow But not too slow for what it was so I don't know but I won't be watching that So anyway that those are the main updates every month shutters putting stuff up So hopefully I'll be able to provide these videos each month prior Since I am getting their press releases now and any other cool stuff that's coming up But if there are any big takeaways from this It's really just one the last drive in with Joe Bob Briggs. It's funny. It's fun. It's educational It's everything. Anyway. Thank you everyone for checking this out. Put some comments down here Let's talk about some nerdy stuff. What are you excited about that's coming in April? What are you excited about that's on shutter now? Also, if you could give me a thumbs up and subscribe if you have not subscribed Yeah, and I hit that notification bell if you want to know every time a video goes up Thank you once again and until next time keep it brutal

This sleep away makes sure you're awake Cause we don't have time for fat think of mistakes And ratio condos that mark your gaps up Look for Uncle Rick Small gap down means it's time for a jump But if it doesn't set up more than everybody You know why we came here today Now let's get to it Yeah Let's go What's up everybody? Happy Monday morning September 18th Hope everybody had a good weekend Got a few things going on this morning I'm gonna do the AM ratio iron condor Monday morning version I've got a 3.5 DTE double calendar That looks like it's gonna come off for a nice profit It was looking like the JSP's and the duck might set up Price has bounced a little bit So it may or may not It's kind of borderline But if it does I will look at taking a duck and a JSP First order of business then for me is I will buy the longs For my AM iron condor So for the Monday I've got a 20 stop So that's a 12 by 8 for me So I always like to put in my longs pre-market Hopefully they get filled right at the bell Then I'm ready to Ready to go with my OCO order After the bell rings Looks like we're gonna be a 10, 20 25 or 30 wide Between the shorts So I'm actually gonna use my quiet lunch template So I need to change a few things Alright 40 seconds till the bell Got a 6, 7 DTE that will take off Wednesday That's up nicely as well 3, 2, 1 bell Alright so my longs Are in So I'm gonna go 30 wide I need to change my target to 50 Stop to 20 25 wide here Need to redo a couple of templates To be a little faster here but Alright filled on the 44, 60 44, 35 filled at 21, 45 So I'm in on the AM ratio The duck and the JSP's technically did not set up So I will pass on those I'm gonna go ahead and get my 3, 5 DTE double calendar filled Alright filled on that at 18, 10 So I just posted that in the Calendar channel Nice winner there Alright SPX open in a little quiet So far VIX is up 5.5 Up to 14.5 A normal Monday pop VIX D up 17% S&P slightly red NASDAQ slightly green Russell slightly red Dow slightly green A little Christmas tree action going I didn't take a duck Because I needed SPX to open down Between 0.1 and 0.5% I was looking at ES I guess it did didn't it I was looking at ES pre-market I didn't really pay attention to The official open of SPX But yeah it definitely qualified For both JSP and Ducks Could have been taken So based on that I'm still trading I'm gonna put my order at 5.85 for a duck If I get a little bit of a down Maybe I should get filled Yeah thanks Marash It was not even paying attention To the official SPX open Just looking at ES So I've got an order on a duck At 5.85 If price Pulls back a little bit I should get filled on that It runs away to the upside I will not I can get in my duck Within the first 15 minutes So let's see if it Comes down and gets me filled My order is at 5.85 Currently trading at about 5.55 A little drop in price JSP's I could still get in as well I just got in some JSP's as well My JSP's Just got filled on my duck 5.85 So I'm in ducks and JSP's Trying to set my OCO up on my JSP's here Alright There we go Got my orders in Michael Todd for my duck Here I'll just copy this here There you go I just posted my Duck order It's exactly like the back test 60 60 Delta Shorts and then 25 Delta Shorts on the put side Alright so I got everything on That I wanted to this morning Plus we got the DKS at 9.25 central Got a couple of time flies on From last Friday That did not get any Theta decay yet This volatility increase VIX up to 14.65 Up over 6% Price coming down To lows of day Pretty close to where we opened For my AM ratio My shorts are 44.60 calls 44.35 puts JSP's they got a wide stop So they got some They got some room to breathe Although yeah Looking at the price action On the daily chart doesn't look like That inviting for JSP's as well But you never know Oh we need a little bounce on those things We get out of those with the profit We get up to about 44.60 We'd probably get out of our JSP's At 50% Little 15 point bounce Expected move to start the day Is about 19 We opened at 40 call up 45 Before T6 To the downside Well the chief's got to win this weekend So that's that's good news That first start Not so good This one a little bit better Got our two big boys back Chris Jones and Travis Kelsey Don't act like you don't know America's team Michael I got S&Ps down 6.5 NASDAQ down 13 Russell down 9 Dow is still slightly green Gold and silver flat Notes and bonds flat Oil and natty gas Up about a percent Grains down What was that you were Elliott what was your What are you posting on soybeans What was the big deal there 5 minute drop out of the gate Euro and pound flat Bitcoin up 3% Bitcoin getting a little overnight move up Little 10 point range so far in SPX Yeah it looks like Getting some elevated IV and soybeans It's not a bad idea Elevated to it IV across the board Oil still going up Yeah I like that I like that Elliott Sell a little premium in soybeans Go with the 95 dayers 1500 calls Down to the 1220 puts See what kind of skew we're dealing with here ZSF 24 I think we'll be one to one Build at 13 even So the reason I didn't do two to one puts to calls On this one is Does have a little put skew but If you do two to one that kind of Excuse it too much the other way So I'm just going to do one to one I just posted that in the option selling Channel Good work Elliott Anybody else have any good ideas for me today I like I like trade ideas on a Monday morning SPX kind of bouncing up to the top end of its daily range Got a Reverse hedgehog and gold It's got seven DTE left on it We're up a couple hundred if we get a It's hoping we might get a little Little bonus bump out of gold today But it's pretty flat We'll probably close that out today I don't want to give Give away that couple hundred bucks in profit that we're up Lot of profit potential to the upside though I wouldn't I would not blame you for wanting to hold Although the expected move to let's call it Well to expiration Twenty-fifth you're not Most likely going to get into the big Profit area but You know could get it to say a thousand bucks Still within the expected move made a big move up I will probably just close today In some good decay coming into the AM ratio Still down on the JSP's Market kind of dropped right after I put those on And a little bit on the deck A little bounce up to about forty four sixty I was hoping we'd see a little more decay than we did on our time flies That we put on Friday but this ball's staying pumped today So far We do have our buddy Jerome taking the stand on Wednesday Which I'm sure has something to do with it Today Let me bring the calendar down Today we got a whole lot of nothing Tomorrow a whole lot of nothing Wednesday one p.m. Central FOMC One thirty FOMC press conference Thursday unemployment claims pre-market Friday PMI Manufacturing Report just after the market opens VXX getting a little pop too It's mine seeing a little Little volatility spike pre-FOMC and get on some VXX vertical spreads What I really like to see on VXX to put on those verticals Is I like obviously for the price of VXX to be going up Because that means volatility is spiking But also the volatility on VXX to be high You know kind of in that call it seventy to a hundred On the implied volatility indicator You know even on the twenty one day I'd be good with it getting up there on the twenty one day I'd start to Start to layer into some Yeah for volatility to stay pumped like this With no range is interesting I would say if we get any kind of little bounce That premium is just gonna get sucked out Oh yeah yeah I have I actually Done quite a few of that Sometimes UVXY sometimes VXX I usually gravitate to which everyone's priced higher Because you got more premium so I like VXX right now It's trading at twenty one UVXY is at fourteen I assume you set those up with like no risk to the upside Or very little That's how I used to do it I just kind of gravitated more just doing verticals I mean you get that Anytime you get a volatility spike you almost always get that Nice contraction so I've just kind of gravitated more to verticals Or you do no risk to the downside got it See I I always did no risk to the upside because There's always that situation where you get the You know the The market drop or the situation where volatility just explodes So I wanted to Protect the upside of that Whereas I would position my my short strikes lower So I'd still get you know price comes down I would get that Decay into the peak of my tent By the way help me pronounce that help me pronounce your name I always look at it And I'm always scared to say it because I don't know how to say it Is it Daedalus Daedalus Daed Daedalus Daedalus Okay got it cool Ryan P is there a way for profit to land at the max profit of that profit tent you're looking at Are you talking about this time fly that's on my screen No that's not even a That's not even a pipe dream I'm looking on these time flies I'm looking for quick profits five to ten percent You know you're talking about price pinning it forty four seventy at expiration On September 29th that's just that's a lottery ticket I don't I don't play that game The whole basis of the strategy is just Getting Getting in You know And getting Five to ten percent profits really managing risk to on the Once where price starts to move Now If you do Ten contracts you want to take nine of them off And play a little lotto with the last one Sure Have a party I used to do a lot of that but I've Come to realize that just sticking to the strategy that's higher probability Typically works out better in the long run About four Getting some decay coming into this one now might be it about Depending on where you get filled It's kind of kind of jumps around here but Probably about four percent profit right now Starting to see a little decay in our puts now for you just get a little bounce up to forty four sixty That would that would be good for everything That'd be good for all three zero DTE positions I guess the AM ratio is good where it's at but The duck for the JSP's Still just kind of bouncing in this ten point range my friends Yep SJ that those are from tradehawk by the way We'll be we'll be sending out more information but We've got on the books a Webinar With Lex from from a tradehawk trader He's the one that's developed he basically he developed tradehawk It was a separate company and then they Trader ended up buying them and so Lex is with Lex and tradehawk are actually part of trader now So he will be leading the web class for us and the date on that is I think October 12th So a few weeks Yeah thirty minutes after the market closes So three thirty p.m. central on October 12th We'll be posting and sending more information on that but You're interested you can go ahead and mark your calendar for that one should be good Unlike in the tradehawk platform It's a I mean there's some you know it's like anything you got to get used to it There's some little quirks but there's actually a few things that I like better than thinkorswim Right now I'm just trading Calendars on it I wouldn't consider trading zero DTE on it yet They are working on some of their OCO orders Functionality But Things like calendars butterflies I mean Anything that you don't need any complex OCO orders for Very good Zero commissions yep And I had them they also I was able to get them to waive the monthly fee for navigation trading numbers so No monthly fee as long as your accounts funded over five thousand bucks or something like that And we'll be talking about all the details of this on the webinar but Yeah no monthly fee zero commissions for Options Equities There is a There's a thirty five cent I think it's don't quote me on this thirty five cents I think for SPX Plus the exchange fee so SPX does You know index options do you have a Do you have a commission but Like SPY Apple any Any American options no zero commissions Yeah all brokers use I shouldn't say all but I mean you're tasty tasty lot tasty works Or tasty trade whether they call themselves now tasty trade toss swab I mean most brokers get paid Make most of their money on payment for order flow And traders no different the differences they've decided their model is just going to be only be paid payment for order flow not commissions And the the whole issue I had with them For the last two years was a So the other part of their model business model is they don't you know like thinkorswim is TD Ameritrade's platform right Trader was was going off a model that they were basically a developers API broker so you know Bunch of different people have tried to build platforms that are executed through trader and nobody nobody really could get it You know I mean as far as like the functionality at least for me the function you know I mean I mean there There are a little unique boutique specialty platforms out there that that execute through trader but nothing that I Could find any value in for the type of trading that we do Tradehawk has been in the works for quite a while they they had a different version and they kind of upgraded it to what they call Tradehawk 2.0 now and and you know they're they're basically trying to rival rival toss eventually they're certainly not there yet So if you have expectations that they're going to be as good as toss just put those away because that's that's not even It's not going to be that close but I think over time they will continue to get there and in fact You know for the last couple of year and a half call it I've been you know having calls with the trade your guys and Lex with Tradehawk and and every almost every single suggestion that I've made on the platform so far has been implemented So they really are they really want to build out the platform that us traders really want Build out the features and stuff so that that's pretty cool you know anytime I kind of see something whether it's a little Quirky aspect or anything I just I record a loom a screen share and I send it over to Lex and sometimes within a week It's in the platform so that's pretty awesome The other thing they'll be doing you know like like I said we'll be doing a Be doing a webinar and then put the other thing that they're gonna that I wanted to make sure that they had for for our Members was you know just top-notch support and so the other thing that they're going to do is you're going to be able To sign up for one-on-one sessions with with somebody or from from tradehawk to a Answer all your individual questions get you set up make sure you understand all the nuances of the platform On a kind of a one-on-one or we could do small groups or whatever but they're willing to do one-on-one for our For our members to to get everybody set up so that should be pretty cool Brinto box in the house So buddy it's been a while all right getting a little bump little bump bump JSP's are now profitable Ducky duck it's profitable. Let's see on my duck targeting 465 to close half it's currently trading at 530 Got a new high of day for SPX I said before if we get up to about 44 60 that would hit our JSP's or if we just stayed here for a while Are you in queues or boys, huh? What do you what are you primarily primarily trading these days Brent? Still doing a lot of strangles Ducks Oh nice. Are you guys still in school or did you graduate? USC I assume Okay, USC Let me play in prime time here. Was that next week or the week after Saturday? Yeah, that'd be fun We're about to see how good Colorado really is Been a lot of talking Lot of talking I mean TCU was definitely a big win but now it's time for the big boys On our CL short strangle we're getting close to 50% of max on the puts but not quite there yet Minnesota now, huh? Oh, yeah for trading for sure Although when I do travel to the West Coast I do I do like I mean I get up early anyway, but so I do like I do sometimes like Oh market opens at 6 30 a.m. I'm done by 1 30 I have the whole a whole day to do stuff after the market closes I do kind of like that aspect. I'm not sure if I'd want to live in that time zone, but it is a it is nice to Travel to you sometimes. Yeah, stay in touch Brent. Oh now Hawaii. Yeah, I would not I wouldn't I wouldn't like that I'll let Tim wise deal with that Argentina What what time is it in Argentina right now? 1117 a.m. Okay Not bad Get to sleep in Vegas Michelle when I put in my lungs pre market, how do I choose my strikes? I'm just going you know I go 60 to 70 points away from the shorts So, you know before you know SPX Option prices kind of freeze up 15 minutes before the bell so Prior to that I just get an idea of okay. Here's my Get an idea of where my shorts are going to be based on you know approximately being $4 right which is what I'm targeting for my for my entries and then I I just take from there I go on the call side I go up 60 to 70 points And try to you know if there's if it's right between I say 60 to 70 because if it's right between You know five and ten cents. I'm gonna go with the five cent ones And then same thing on the put side. I just look 60 to 70 points away And I buy those just put the order in Pre-market and then I just watch ES You know making you know, obviously if it moves 15 minutes before the bell. I mean if it moves 10 points I'm I know that I'm gonna need to adjust my strikes by You know 10 strikes 10 points on the strikes as well. So That's all I do SPX still kind of hovering near the top of its range We got the DKS coming in about five minutes There's my DKS alarm Five-minute warning I Accidentally had a tighter stop than I meant to so it ended up working out in my favor, but Unintentionally, I like to call those happy happy accidents like Bob Ross used to say 3M ratio should not be down a lot should be up Right minds up minds up three thousand bucks Gotcha So as of now my short strikes for the DKS would be 44 65 calls 44 50 puts Give it another couple minutes here All right, so 44 65 calls and 44 50 puts Man premium dropped quick So the 805 on my DKS 805 685 should be profit target one 525 should be profit target two Stop should be 2415 Yeah close enough All right, so on my JSP's once I get to 20% With my stop down to a hundred All right, so for my JSP's once I get to about 20% profit Target I move my stop loss to 100% so It was I got there on the JSP's My duck it's not quite hit 20% yet It's trading at about 510 profit targets at 465 My DKS my shorts are 44 65 calls 44 50 puts I mean we have got a Newzer on our hands today my friends So far just perfect for what we're doing. I was trying to trade directionally. This would be brutal, but we're not So it's good. It makes sense. There's absolutely no scheduled news today or tomorrow Calm before the FOMC storm Yeah, I don't I'd have to see data on that Elliott I know I mean I feel that way too but I've been my feelings have been proven wrong by data so many times that I don't know I stay the junkie Sometimes my anecdotal thoughts about a strategy are so strong. I just know how it's going to test and then I actually put the data to it. I'm like, oh, that's not even Not even close It's a very humbling feeling. I know I'm right. I'm not I know I'm right. No, no, no, you're not I sort of see a little decay coming into our time flies as well Vix was up six now. It's only up three Yep, I'm in JSP's theta junkie. I Think some others are as well. Yeah, we got I just uh, you know Tim's got his style That's certainly not my style for me. It's just way too Selective and filtered based on back tests. I just I'm more of a probabilities trader So I'm gonna I'm gonna trade more what the probabilities play out Not that you know, that's the right way or the wrong way. I mean he's got the right way for him I've got the right way for me. So It's really just about figuring out what what's best for you Both will work both can work. I should say my ways worked for me for a long time and He's you know, he has more confidence based on the back tests being more selective and You know, the other thing is, you know, based on he said this many times, you know, based on his lifestyle You know, he wants to trade He wants to trade less I prefer if the odds are in my favor to trade more I just I have not I haven't not well for one we don't we have we don't I haven't We don't you know, we have data going back to May right or if you're just using year to date I just I don't have there's no data Conclusive or enough for me to say even even Thursdays, you know to me I just I still I don't think not trading on Thursday. I still don't think that's conclusive May change as me as we continue to have more data on these things My thinking could certainly evolve, but at this point we'll continue to hammer it out every day Yeah, yeah, I think I definitely think based on the way volatility opens on different days of the week That that the morning sessions can there's a pattern there For me, I just think for power hour specifically You know, I don't think gaps matter that much. I don't think they have weak matters that much If at all, it's all about it's probably staying in the range at the end of the day or not And I think it does 55 to 60% of the time Yeah, I just I just mentioned that to Elliott Ryan P. I think I think I'd need to see more data. I think that's You know, I certainly kind of like Elliott was saying I feel that way But I'm not I'm not sure that that's I've been proven wrong by my feelings have been proven wrong by data so many times But I don't I try not to go off of feelings anymore All right, Ducky duck still hanging around Still hanging around that 510 515 price. I need 465 to get that a half Just kind of got to stay up here for a while. Let some more decay come out My JSP still need a little bump higher Don't have to quite get up to 44 60 anymore though Maybe 44 58 is the beauty of theta decay The longer it sits here, the less it has to move in your favor My AM ratio I'm looking for 50% Looks like some of you guys are hitting your 40s So profit target on my AM ratio is at 1070 and my spreads currently trading at 1250 So I need another couple bucks to come out of my AM ratio All right, my friends, I think I'm going to jump off here Hoping to pop some profit targets before we jumped off But it's just going to give us a little slow decay Like I said on the JSP's Get up move up to 44 57 44 58 that should hit 50% The iron duck is close to hitting 20% with a little bit more decay AM ratio iron condors over 40% I'm looking for 50% to get out of half And reduce stop So if we stay right here, that should happen shortly And then lastly the DKS Just need a little move higher to hit first profit target and reduce stop on that one So good shape on all of them just haven't hit anything yet So we'll be back for power hour at 150 p.m. Sharp central time Look forward to seeing you all then have a good rest of your day. Take care


Hello, and welcome to this week's edition of Encompass Live. I am Kristin Burns at the Nebraska Library Commission. Encompass Live is our weekly online session event that we do here at the Commission. We started in January of this year. And we cover any sort of library activities that will be of interest to librarians and staff workers across the state. We have guest speakers in some time. Today we have the commission staff, I'm speaking. We release every Wednesday at 10 a.m. Central Time and they are free one-hour sessions. They are recorded as well so that if you are not able to listen to our live recordings here on Wednesday, you can listen to one of the recorded sessions. Okay. This morning we have staff from our reference department meet the librarians behind the ready-reference interlibrary loan system. And I guess I'll just ask you to take over. This is Julien Bethelby. Thank you for everything you need to know about doing interlibrary loan with the Library Commission. Welcome, Robert and Stanton this morning. Thanks for joining us. We have a small group. Oh, and Alana is on. Hi, Alana. This entire session is her idea. So we'd like to dedicate this session to Alana. Happy belated birthday. Thank you for joining us today. What we're really going to focus on is interlibrary loan and how things work in that particular world and from our desk.  So we're happy that you joined us. Please ask any questions. We really want to be of service to you and want it to be a smooth system for you. So I'll introduce myself and then I'll let the lovely librarians on either side of me introduce themselves. And I hope that you have some faces with some names by attending today. I think that's kind of nice. We never know what you all look like until we meet you at conference. So we hope this is helpful for you to know what we look like in some way. I'm Lisa. You know we always introduce ourselves with our name on the phone. So we only have one man. So if you talk to a woman, it's likely one of us for Susan, who's at the reference desk right now. So welcome. And I'm Lisa. I've been at the library commission for two months. Oh, gosh. Since 1992. And it's been great. And I'm really happy to be here. And I thought I would do some icebreaker thing. Poor Julie has been the survivor of many of my icebreakers. I think it's fun to just sort of talk about something non-librarianish. And I prepared them. And I said, I want you to tell them something about them that they would nor nearly know that it's unusual. And so here's my big admission. I'll give them two. I've never mowed a lawn. And I've never boiled an egg ever in my whole life. And I just got over the last weekend. And I plan to continue on with that. So whichever one of you want to go next. That's more exciting than I thought. I'm Julie. I'm Julie. And I've been at the commission since 1995 to unusual. I thought these are unusual. But I love rain. And this comes up because it's raining today. It is indeed. And I grew up on a cattle ranch in the Sand Hills. And she learned to drive at the age of? Eight. But I was a light boner. I was in the Sand Hills. I remember seeing one of those kids driving when he was two in a free field around and around in a circle. But he was in a cattle ranch. So I was a light boner. I drove to the long room school house when I was eight. Starting when I was eight.  I'm Beth. I've been at the library commission since 93. It came the year after I released it. And now it's been a great ride. I've really enjoyed working here. And we'll continue to. And let's see. I did not learn to drive until I was 21. And I am so old that I hope at least some of you have heard of Randy Bachman. But I actually saw him perform in Winnipeg before any of you. He would have been famous with anybody. So that's how old I am. Well, we talked at this first conversation with him in a different way. When you call or when you eat, you'll know a little bit more about us. And we really do want to meet you and get to know you. So today, what we want to do is go up to the basics a little bit of interlibrary loan. And I think had we named our session that more folks might have understood what we wanted to talk about today. But for those of you who are signed up today, if you ever want to play this for staff or refer to something, this might be a good training tool. And so keep that in mind if you've got new staff and you want to show them the ropes of interlibrary loan. That's really going to be the primary core of our conversation today. So what I'd like to do first, and we'll each take a turn talking about things is we have something online called the interlibrary loan tip sheet. And that really walks you through the basics of how everything works. Chris is showing you the URL for it right now. And it is in the slide set. So you could get right to that. And really everything you're going to need to know, at least we hope, and if we've forgotten something let us know, is on that tip sheet. Oh, okay, Chris is going to show it. And then our pictures will go away. There it is. That's going to show you everything you need to know, hopefully about doing interlibrary loan with us. If we ever need to update anything, let us know. And you can always just print that out and keep it next to your phone. So I'm just going to walk through the highlights of this. And I think you probably may know all these things, but hopefully we'll head on something that's new for you today that maybe you didn't realize about interlibrary loan. How to make requests from much. You can do phone calls, you can email, you can fax, and you can fill out the form. And I thought I'd just give you a practical note. Listen, none of those get priority one over the other. We basically just go through them one at a time. So if you fill out a form, or if you email something, one isn't going to get precedence over the other. Some people do ask about that. And I certainly wanted to assure you that no, we just go one at a time. If you're doing the form and you have several requests, you may want to make it easier on yourself and fill out a whole list and send it in as an email request, rather than filling out a form each time. It depends on how you like to keep your records on your side. So if you want multiple copies, you certainly wouldn't need to fill out a form for each copy. Occasionally people will do that and we'll get a little confused about how many copies you really want to a book. So that may not be the most clear way to let us know that. It is important to let you know that nothing gets priority. If phone call doesn't beat an email. So go ahead and choose whichever way works for you. What we want it to be is most convenient for you. There's our 800 number and some people ask us, does the reference desk have a direct 800 number? And we do not. So you do have to call that number and ask for the reference desk. And that will be the quickest way to get to us. We are always here eight to five, Monday through Friday, central standard time. And there will always be a light burning at the desk. Almost without exception, one of the three of us will be there. It's the exception of just a few hours of life right now when we're all here. And then there's the online form that's given in the URL in the tip sheet, the fax number and really whatever works for you. That fax machines is really right where we are. So what we can't miss it. It'll come right to us. We have two fax machines here at the commission. So it's really right there. That's easiest for you and your emails down and your phone is busy or something. You know, consider that as an alternative. Okay, so that's how you can contact us. And these are the important things for when you request items. There's just a few caveats. When you, if you request something, it does have to be older than a year old. And that really just is because so many libraries will not loan you more items. I think that's up in the top. Is it there? Okay. Yeah. Yeah. So if it is the best seller or, and I think this is gonna date this broadcast, if it's, you know, any of the Twilight series right now by Stephanie Meyer, something that's really hot, something that Oprah's reading, something that's the shack right now is the best seller or the today's show of reading club or anything like that, we can be sure we're probably not gonna be able to get that at all. If it's on the best seller list, if it's new, these are the things we're not gonna be able to get for you. I put myself on the waiting list for the audio file of Twilight and I know there's 16 of 18 people. Yeah. So we will often check Lincoln and Omaha's public opacs to see how popular things are. It's just kind of a litmus test. And people will say, well, I don't know if it's new. Well, the way we'll check is either in books to print which you've got access through to Nebraska access or Amazon hasn't really stayed. And you're looking for the hardcover release, not the paperback if there's multiple copies of it. So just take a look to see if it's too new for your customer. Yeah, and it's right there in the last 12 months or on the seller list. And for those of you who have book clubs, we can do multiple copies. Do try to tell us how many you need in your first request. Sometimes going back in and getting another copy can be a little tricky. So if you need eight from the get go and you've only got six readers, go ahead and ask for eight at the start. And also don't forget about our book club kits that we've got here too. And we talked a little bit about those on the last week's and conference session. So if you need to hear a little bit more about book clubs, listen the last week. The only things that we need from you, particularly are for you, just keep your records when you receive any items because we do interlibrary loan for about 300 libraries, school and public libraries. We keep all the circulation records for all of those interlibrary loans coming and going. So when you receive an item, we really need for you to let us know when you get it and you can email that. Yep, and that's the part in the box. We have to consider that to be of some importance. Thanks Christopher for navigating so well. Every interlibrary loan during the course of its loan has an eight digit number. Sort of might be social security while it's out of its home. And that number uniquely describes that book. And it was called a request identifier number. Sometimes it's not a barcode, sometimes it's labeled that way. Often many libraries have a different way of printing that item. But that is the unique number and it very much helps us update the record. So when you receive it, when you return it, those are both things we'll need to know. And very importantly, if your patron ever needs a renewal, if you can keep an eye on that due date, so many libraries really want you to ask for renewables before the due date. They're very charitable. There's just a few that aren't willing to grant renewables, but they really wanna know before the renewal. And some of them will say that exactly having their policy. And again, you'll just say I need a renewal on the Persian Pickle Club. This is the R.I. number. And I know you ladies have all done this before. So I feel like I'm telling you things you already know. Let's see. We can request AV. We can request DVDs. We can request books with computer disks. We can request all kinds of things. Certainly the lending library can just say no. But we have tried all kinds of things. Some exceptions would be the historical societies that prefer like our very own does for the patrons to contact the historical society directly. They don't use an interlibrary loan OCLC method to get their request. So there are times when we will direct you or the patrons to that place for you to contact them and we won't even be a part of the process. So with that, I think I've gone through everything that's on the interlibrary loan tip sheet. Laura and Carol, Ellen and Cleone, do you have any questions about the ILO tip sheet? Have we left anything out? And Rhonda from Alliance. And Rhonda from Alliance. Thanks Rhonda. No questions? Okay. Alana has no questions. Thank you Alana. Okay. I'll just jump in from one question that I've been asked. I'm sure we all have is when it comes to asking for multiple copies as well as the limit. And we don't really have one. It is going to be limited by what you're choosing to ask for. It's something that hardly any libraries have. We do, when you're asking for a whole bunch of copies of one item, that's not a case where we're going to try to get everything you asked for from the same library. We have to spread it out so that we're not, for example, asking Lincoln City Libraries to provide us with six copies of the same book. So it's one of those, it depends kind of things. We don't give you a firm answer on how many. I don't know dare we say how many we've done. It's many as 30, I think at one time. Yeah. That's kind of hitting the upper limit. Because we just wouldn't be able to get that many. Right. I would say most multiple copies are right around the eight to 10 area. So that's pretty standard. And certainly about as big as your book clubs would be. So, yeah, that's a great thing to bring up. It really depends on the holdings and WorldCat. Julie, what would you do next? This is kind of backtracking, but the people who are listening, I think are all very good about this. Just in case anybody's listening to the archive. I'm just going to go this way. And they want to know what's the most important thing you do, if you remember to do one thing. And that's to let us know that you've received something. And the reason for that is, when a library supplies a material, they move the status to shift. And say you get the book, you use it, and you return it in. They can't, when they get it back, they can't update unless we have moved it to receive. So that's a really important step. If you do nothing else, just even telling an institute you've received it is probably the most important thing. Okay, Laura asks the question, if you're using the books for a book discussion, how long can you keep them? And just like all of your libraries have a circulation period, every library that loans the material has their typical circulation time. Some are more generous, some are pretty restricted. Maybe 28 days, maybe 40 days, it just depends. We don't really know when we go out there asking them, who are the big long lending libraries? And Laura, that would be an important for you to keep track of your due date, so you could always just get your renewals in. And Julie? Well, we do, that's something that we control, right? We don't always know in advance where those are, but I will tell you that we tend to, we do know some libraries very well, like in Nebraska, and if we know that some libraries don't offer renewals, we tend to put them further down the list or not use them when it comes to a request like that, we really know that you're gonna need it for a long time. So what we do know, we try, I very hard to get things from libraries that we know offer renewals, when we can. The longer you do, I know this from when I work with the library, the longer you do with the library, the longer you get to know the particular lender, the good lenders, the lender that's been sent to how you need to, and whatnot, or you can service, even a lot easier.  You should turn in your request a week or two ahead of time. We are often spoiled by our Nebraska libraries who get things there overnight the next day, you know, sometimes within two days, and people are always going to the first hour. We have terrific Nebraska lending libraries, but there are cases where we have to go out of state and things do take longer, and it often surprises our customers because they're so used to getting things quickly, and they'll say, where was my book? I asked for a week ago, and that is really still within the typical time of lending. We'll say one to two weeks, but if you've got a student for people working on your project or a book group, I would give yourself one to two weeks, and we are happy to ask for renewals, but that is pretty standard. And again, we are just so spoiled by our really fat-stacking Nebraska libraries, for which we can take no credit, but are happy to work with, and I interrupt you, you're gonna say something. Well actually, what you said just is a great segue into what I was thinking of is that sometimes we've been asked, someone will call or email and say, well, I need this book, but I really don't need it for another three weeks. Could you just wait and request it for me a little later? We place your request as soon as they come in. Oftentimes it will be less than an hour. We have, our goal is to always place your request within 24 hours, and with the exception of weekend or holiday times where we simply don't see your request, we always meet that goal. But we will place your request immediately, and as Lisa mentioned, there are over 300 libraries that we place requests for, and we simply cannot keep track of, okay, so-and-so needs it a month from now or whatever, is we are gonna go ahead and place the request as soon as you send it to us, but as Julie was saying, we're gonna be looking for places that will probably grant renewal. So okay, you may get it sooner than you plan. We're not in control of when Enverlander might actually send it out to you, but renewal is almost always an option. Any questions after that discussion? Are y'all doing? This is probably, these are all things you probably already know. It's kind of good to go over them again. Okay, well, we're gonna move on, and Beth and Julie have some things to share with you.  So that's the limit on the system. Yeah. And the slides you sent me. Yeah, that's fine. Yep. Yeah, just so that we can. Okay. I'm actually going to use an example that the last one that I could, the most recent one that I could find in an actual subject request that came in via email. And we do, you know, quite frequently have librarians who contact us and say something very similar to this. I'm gonna read you part of this email and it says, I have a student that needs nonfiction information for a report on premarital sex. I have an article in my files. I have not found a book on this subject that's available. Do you know of any? So, this is a typical, I'm just gonna go through how we would do this. And I can tell you quite our advice to you usually is in this case, but we would go to the Nebraska Access, which you can too. And this is the screen that you see. And over on the right, you'll see databases available and you would come up for Nebraska and you click there on the button. And then the next screen shows up. And you can see these are the databases that you'd be choosing from. The one that we always search for in our library alone is WorldCat. You can see it right under books there. So you would click on WorldCat. Oh, that's a nice. That's a nice. That's a nice. Nice little stuff. That's a nice. That's a nice. That's funny. We have Krista. She's dry-eyed because she's so good at it. Okay, and this is the search screen that you see. Then it comes up. And being a librarian, of course I try to make it into literally a subject request. So I did a subject, you can see I was stuck on the right. I did a subject phrase. I typed in pre-parallel stuff, I did it. And then I also limited it from 2000 to 2009. I wanted recent publications. So this is very librarian-ish. I have my librarian hat on here. And so let's see how many results that I got. Okay, now you can see it's 95. So 95 books, I limited it to books also. And so you can see the variety within this. And we have hearings to the Senate and that sort of thing. So it's quite a variety. And that's just for the last nine years, 95. So I would have chosen from these. But my recommendation always is, have your student do this. Number one, they know what emphasis, are they talking about teenage primarily sex? Is that what they're, which I'm gonna guess that's probably when their paper's gonna be on. So I would recommend that the student, and it's very easy to get your student on and have them do a search. They don't have to be as fancy as this. So we're gonna show an example of a typical student search, I think. So the next screen we can go is just doing a keyword search, putting pre-parallel steps in, and hitting search, not limiting it in any way. And we do come up with an enormous number of results. The slide comes in. Uh-oh. There we go. Okay. Yes, and you can see it, we get blocks, we get all kinds of materials. You can see it across the top there on the tabs. And, but actually, I think that for a student, this actually turned out some great things right at the beginning because we have the opposing viewpoints, which would be perfect for a paper. That's a great series. Yeah, it really is. And so right there we have, I could do a little bit of sectarian titles that are opposing viewpoints. That's what I'm talking about. That's what I'm talking about. I decided that I would have selected the teenage sexuality of opposing viewpoints.  There it is. Oh, it's right up there. There it is. And if we scroll down, I mean, they could give us just the title. That would be enough for us to find this and place it. But there's also the OSTLC number is for their denouncing the accession number. And down there at the bottom, second from the bottom, the accession number, OSTLC number. That's actually the number that would be most precise in helping us to place the exact driver that the student chose. We have had librarians who've sent in the last descriptive subject requests where they just say, we need books on pre-marital sex or something like that. And we'll choose territory. They'll say territory and we'll send them. And then almost immediately they'll come back and say, oh, we return this one right away because she already had that one. Well, they didn't tell us that. We thought we were just selecting from the universe. They don't have anything. So it's good for when you make a request to always give us as much information as possible so that we don't mess up and send something that you already have. But in this case, I do think that the best option really is always to have the user. And they can do it at home. I mean, even if you didn't have a computer at the library, you could give them the information. They can search from home and make their choices. That's our recommendation. And if they want to do it at home, you can give them your password that they get from their public library or they can use their driver's license. So, you know, it's easy for them to search from home at their leisure. Maybe it's a topic they have a little embarrassment about and they do want to search privately. So that way they would have that confidence in searching on their own. And also, students sometimes choose videos. And they can use them for their papers. And we have a high school, actually, that we get quite a few requests from that include videos and books. So the students really are pretty creative and they're really much happier with things that they choose themselves. So that's our recommendation. Any questions about Julie's subject searching? Did that spark any questions that you might have for those of you who were seasoned? Can I ask you a question about how many of you have patrons that are using WorldCat in your library? Would you say, yes, I do have patrons using WorldCat in my library? Or Nebraska Access? No, you don't. Okay. Does someone say no? They don't. Okay, Laura, you don't. And Rhonda, Lyons, you don't have. Okay. Can you see that it might be better for them to be searching for themselves rather than us choosing for them? Because you would know them. They would know what they need. Is that, yeah, okay, good, good. We do our very best, but so often we just can't really know what they want. And so that connection that you make with them makes our transactions much more successful. So we mention that because we really want you to look great. We want those materials that come to your library to be so helpful to them and you to look like the magical library that supplies that effort with them. So however we can be of help, the more information the better. If you want to know more about using Nebraska Access, we did do a previous thing on the slide on it. Yes. It's a dinner archive. So go ahead and search that out. You'll have a whole session on that and come to the slide on Nebraska Access and the new Nebraska Access, the new website that just went online. Okay. Thanks for answering those questions. And Beth has got some things she's going to highlight. And... Oh, they weren't in today's... Oh, I use it all the time. Okay. I use it all of the time and we don't have much research done here. Okay, Laura. Thanks for that comment. Yeah. Thanks Laura. All right. Well, if this is a base team, we've done it. Now I'm going to ask you, Chris, to actually go live to Nebraska Access for the next part. Again, I feel like what we're preaching to the choir here today is you're probably well aware of this, especially if you were your patron and you used Nebraska Access a lot. But sometimes we get asked for a journal article request and then it can be all the way from something very, very technical, which we also serve state agencies so we get some fairly advanced medical and technical types of things. But sometimes we get just general interest ones which may in fact have come from our students. So, again, encourage your students to use it. So if you'd like to just log in. And I know we've talked about Nebraska Access before, but there are two things here, two databases here, which can really help you and help us too. And one of them is the Wilson nominee file. So are you, Laura, is this one I make you use all the time? Two? Are the rest of you use Wilson nominee file? Well, it is a full text database journal article. So. Elena likes it. Elena likes it. Yeah. She has to teach other people. So you're probably going to feel like every time you sign up for one of these, all we ever talk about is Nebraska Access, that if you could just clip into a homie file, Krista, and... For all the good stuff. Yeah. Yeah. And it's free to do it. Do your patrons as well. This could be the equivalent of a candy. Yeah, we'll see you as well, Kat. Yeah. Okay. Okay, thank you so much. This is just a reminder that if, per chance, you had a student or someone else who was looking for journal articles, this is a way to find some full text ones that you could get right away without having to ask us, and then us having to get them to somewhere else. And oftentimes, if it's something we think it's a more general interest type journal, we will check in the homie file first to see. And you folks are from public libraries, so I could also kind of view the eLibrary as another good place to look at, but it's fine. It's taking really long to load. Yeah. Sorry, you're all just kind of getting a blank screen here now, and we're just having difficulty logging on. So, thanks for your patience. You work on the Atlanta. I could just tell you what I did. We may have to. Yeah, this is really subtle. Well, those of you, I think particularly in the western part of the state may get asked about once a year for information about lane frost. And we often, we get those kind of subject requests. When he goes out of lane frost, and yes, lane frost was a stab that he's deceased, but he was a person, a young man who was a bull riser, but was unfortunately killed by a bull. So you typed in lane frost, right? Yeah, get a search, maybe it would take too long to actually do the search, but you would come up with two or three articles, and one of them would be particularly interesting. And you wouldn't have to ask us to ILL this for you. That's the point I'm trying to make, if we could ever get it to come up. There's a pretty good article and sort of illustrated. That's one of the journals that's indexed by Wilson. Okay, so that second one down, don't bother to click into it, but if you notice the little kind of page sign, that's full text. So you could actually click in there and most teachers will now accept something that came from a database like this as the original, which you might not see, but the HTML version is any pictures that were there. So that's important to the person, but if it's a PDF file like that one, yeah, and if there were any pictures, of course it would look just like the original article. Another approach was if someone had actually done the research and they knew that there was an article from the score it's illustrated, you could, I don't know if you can do it from here, if you have to go back to the opening page, you can actually browse for an article. You could either search for Sports Illustrated and Lane Frost, or you could actually go up, if you look at top right, close to the top, there's a journal for referee, yeah, not that one, use the blue arrow off of the side. Yeah, and you could actually browse down through the list, find Sports Illustrated, and you could browse directly to the article that way. So if you actually had an actual citation, I use this all the time when we get article requests, I'll just, I'd like to browse a lot. So then you could hit the S, yeah, sometimes it's a little slow, but you can drill right down and actually find the issue and then just browse the articles in the issue and find it, and I don't know if any of you had this experience, but if we could find it there, full text, we can usually download it and then just email it back to you, so you can have it the same day. As soon as we find it, or you can do it yourself and you wouldn't even have to spend the time, yeah, contacting us for it. So just wanted to make that point, this is a good place to look if somebody particularly needs journal articles, you may be able to find what you need without having to resort to a mistake to us. Any questions for Beth about journal articles or Wilson Web? It really is just all your storage and indexing all in one place, oh, Atlantic to all presenters. What are you asking? Be sure I don't know what I want to redo. Oh, okay. Well, it's being slow. We want you to wave your magic wand and make it faster. Okay, and Laura says, I have had the students use this, but they are usually interested on how many resources they can have from the internet. When they come here, they are looking for a book resource. Okay. Yeah, this is what we have struggled with some of the classroom teachers where they consider this an internet resource. But actually, it affects me if you find a PDF album. It is the journal. Right. There is no, I'm editorializing here, there's really no good reason why teachers should refuse to allow a student to use something that was found in Wilson Web as a resource because it's exactly the same as if they followed a copy of it out of the journal. Right, yeah. In my day, it was the Readers Guide. We sat down with the Green Readers Guide and we had to go actually to periodical stacks of books, usually in a basic sense, and this makes it much more effortless, but it's the same tactic that we all use when we were in school libraries. It's a matter of a lot of the teachers need to realize that things have changed and just how you access the same item, the same article, and a lot of libraries are due to budget and space revisions, a lot more so than budgeted. Eliminating their print subscriptions to the magazines, they're going online, database-only. They know, I don't even need the print magazine if I've got Wilson Web, it's the university or something like that. So there just isn't even the magazine sitting on a shelf studying more. That's not what the library is, it's the start of juggling. The libraries are saying, this is how we get our magazines out. Right. This is just a terrific resource. It's paid for you by your Unicameral, by your Nebraska government. This is really your government dollars. Hard work, so this is all of our library that's indexed by keyword. And I don't know about you, but I'm so spoiled by keyword searching. I can't hardly do anything without a keyword search anymore. And it's very simple. So I hope that you can maybe encourage your students to think about books and articles. These are the real deal. This is just because it's on the internet, doesn't mean that they didn't go photocopying our articles and timing magazines. Sure, and I don't know if we have time now, but a sister database to this is the Wilson Biographies, which is another one you can get for free. And same thing, if the teacher is insisting that they can't use too many internet resources, what's in the Wilson Biographies is actually the same thing that's in their printed Wilson Biographies volume. So it's really exactly the same information. So I wouldn't, it's not the same as having to start with Google search and finding somebody's website. So. And starting out as the reference library and that biography index was something I almost always wanted to, without exception, when a student needed an address for someone. That was just the place to go for an address when they needed to write an author or a sportsperson. There's certainly other resources to do that, but the real key for that Wilson Biography is address, contact information, an agent. And some students do have to write and that really was always my first resource to go to for that. And I chipped for this morning. I just typed in over in Nebraska. I went in and searched it and I came up with over 300 names. And the one that I actually went in and looked at was Hillary Swank. She's an actress. Yeah. Born in Lincoln, Nebraska. Academy Award winning actress twice. She's won the Oscar twice for her, let's see. That, yeah, that got me to 300. Or if you typed in Hillary Swank, you'd have gone right to it and it even has a picture of her. So you can get journal articles with tartness, it's a very cool text, but you also get an entry that you would have found. Yeah. These are just by typing in Nebraska. I think they're over 300. So if somebody's looking for information about payments to Brazans. 200. Okay, I like. Thank you for talking to me. Two round it up. Yeah. Cheered to the Grand Island, Edith Abbott Library, there she is. And I think they keep, it's pretty current information. I think they can constantly go in and update these. You can see why there's that key word, Nebraska, why it keeps showing up. So maybe that's all they need. And they show you right there that it's from current biography, which is also a printed resource. A very reputable printed resource. So any, again, I'm editorializing, but any teacher should accept this. It's exactly the same as if they, we had gone to current biography and photocopied that and sent it to the library. We have 20 minutes left this morning and we certainly don't want to just go on and beat a dead horse here. Do you have any questions about anything that we've gone over? Or anything that we should expand upon a little more that you would like some information about? Any questions from anyone? You really all are pros. So I feel like we're talking about things you know. Let me ask you this. Did we cover something that you hadn't known previously? You'd make me feel better if you think there was something that we, then we covered that you didn't know before. Can we hear from you all? Oh, thanks Rhonda. Okay. So you've picked up something new. Laura, did you get anything new today? You're pretty seasoned. Ellen, okay. All right, thanks, Laura. Anyone at Crawford pick up anything new today? You really are, are still very examples. Has anybody had trouble finding the request to identify on the paperwork that you should come to the book? Not Crawford, you know. Laura, do you ever have problems finding the request identifier who are really picking on, I'm picking on you today. Do you have trouble with finding that number? No, okay. We always email it to you when we respond to let you know we place the request. Some of the folks that phone in, sometimes that number has just eluded them at night. It's tricky though to be honest. If it doesn't go on the first round, that number will change. Yeah, there's that too. That only happens if you call me from Crawford. Well, we also wanted to just, the presentation was very good. How do we convince the teachers to use these resources? Laura comments about using journal articles. You know, I'm not sure about that. I don't- I think it's just an education issue for them. As far as you educating them on what these database actually are. For example, as I'm looking at right here at Wilson Web, this is just the online version of current biography. If a teacher is telling a student, go to the library and find those books on current biography, you'll find some things. What do you can say? Look, this is it, it's not online too. It's the same exact thing. And for whatever reason, some of the teachers just aren't kept up on that information, aren't kept up on how the fact that these books have now become online versions. And it's just a matter of educating them on it. And if it takes maybe going into their classroom and it's showing them this screen, print this out and say, look, this is where it's from. It just happens to be off of the computer, not off of the bound volume sitting on the stack somewhere. And for some libraries, as I was saying, it's the monetary issue. They can't afford to buy all the books and keep getting updates every year. Sometimes the database online may be cheaper and you get the same information. And in the ILL world, even if it isn't something that we or you found in Wilson Omni file, if we did place a request for an article to another library, it's getting more and more common that they're going to fill a request by sending us a file anyway. Then they either use something like Ariel and scanned it from print or they're subscribing to it online and that's what they're going to send us. These are PDF files from their online subscription. Suggestion. Oh, I'll end the comments with showing them the print magazine and a print off from Wilson Help. Show them the same article. Yeah, Laura, that might be interesting to print off the same article from Time Magazine and then from your shelf. Take the Time Magazine article and show your teacher, look at exactly the same thing. We would be happy to check out one of our current biographies to you so you could do the same thing. So you could educate your teachers maybe on an in-service day. Say, I want to show you what this resource is, what it does, how much shelf space it saves me. Maybe we shouldn't invite the teachers or an open house to demonstrate to them. That's Laura's perfect idea. You know, the always is that disconnect when I was in a public library to make that connection with teachers. They would often throw out these crazy assignments and we've all experienced it where there's no resource in the library from what they throw out or they just don't have that connection of what a librarian can really do to help them and their students. That's really never-ending so that the better your relationship is, the better for your students. So that's an excellent conversation. Thanks, Alana and Laura. You could even advertise it to find them that you're going to show them how they could increase their collection, make their collection bigger or something like that. And offer them cookies. Cookies. Cookies. Yes. Yes, if you can make cookies, they will come. A bit cockier. You know what I mean? Think about it. How many libraries in most of the communities in Nebraska can afford a collection that has a statin and even magazines in it? Or how many can afford a correct biography? And what's great about here in Nebraska, this is not the way it is across the whole country. In Nebraska, we set up Nebraska Access and got special money and we got the legislature to get money to purchase this on behalf of every citizen in the space. Anyone can use all this stuff for free. No cost to you, except for you already paid for taxes. And so this is a great thing that's making each other teachers too. This doesn't even cost us our school or anything. Costs us nothing, except for knowing where to go and knowing that that's where you are off in Nebraska Access. The other issue to bring up is, you know, everything is not Wikipedia on the internet. There's Time Magazine, which is proprietary and something that Nebraska subscribes to. And I think the word proprietary is something we don't really talk about much. Just because it's on the internet doesn't mean that you didn't have special access to it. A Wikipedia entry has its value. Actually, I use it a lot in reference for quick data. I certainly can't see that. But I wouldn't put it up against current biography for having more vetted information. I would choose current biography and then maybe a Wikipedia entry alongside. But that's proprietary. We've subscribed to it. Wikipedia is a good starting point. And then on almost every article I've looked at, there's citations at the bottom of it that are to the actual articles so they got the information from. The news reports the Time Magazine, the actual official homepage of whatever this article is about. But I think it's that Wikipedia entry that's tainted some teachers to say that's an internet resource. So I think that's an excellent point and maybe a whole session worth talking about what's valid on the internet for students and teachers who agree upon. But Laura, you ask a really good question and Elana has helped us and, yeah, they cookie, it's really good cookies. And they will come to your open house and you can make that relationship with your teachers of valuable ones to your students and you will not be frustrated by what you can provide for them and already have. Any other questions that we can answer? We don't wanna go long just because we can. All right. Oh, it's nothing. I keep thinking of the problems. I don't know if it's ever happened to you but it's occasionally happens to other people where they get a book they didn't ask for. And sometimes it's because we screwed up and placed it for the wrong library. I did it at my stuff last week. Sometimes it's a problem at the other end. And I would defer to Julie to maybe explain why occasionally there's a mix up in mailing labels or something like that where the lending library inadvertently sends it to you instead of somebody else. It's usually a mailing label search. It is the wrong label and the wrong box. So it's important when you return those. It's good to talk to us first. And sometimes if, and I realize, not all libraries have multiple staff members but some do and sometimes one will call it in and forget to write it on the notepad. And so the person who opens the box looks at the notepad but they keep track of these things on it and says we didn't order this. But, and they just need, so you need to visit with us first to see if we messed up or put the mail first. We save your emails for literally years. A mailing label switch or something like that where they just sent the lending library sent it to the wrong place. In that case, you'll need to put a note on it that said we did not order this. And sometimes we can figure out if you give us a clue like that, we can figure out which library might be getting yours and you can even switch on, you can send them directly to the library that did request it and they can send it directly. That way you give them faster than routing them back to the lending library. So it's good to visit with us. That's going to be my advice. First talk to us about this strange item that showed up on here, your mail box. And it will help you sort it out. Well, it's in a while though and then your library just goes crazy in the wrong direction because your name of your town's having a little like another town or Ohio or Michigan and they really go to the wrong spot. And we have no record and we can't look for anything. And it just, there's so many things that can go wrong in the library alone. It's just detail laden and things can go in the wrong direction. I would advise when you return those folks to put a note on it that said we didn't order it. You should check to see who did want it because otherwise that one who requested it will never get it. And they'll be waiting and waiting and waiting and then when they finally investigate it, the library that got it back will have checked it in if they don't have a note, not even realizing that it never got to the location that was supposed to come. Yeah. While it seems frustrating to you, we're happy to help you solve the mystery. It happens all the time. It's no problem for us. We'll do as much investigating as we possibly can to make it make sense to you and to us so that we can communicate with the lending library who had our booth that day to see where it's supposed to go. And we know it's annoying and you will have to pay the return postage. But many of you are very helpful and are willing to just forward it on if we can figure out which library it should have gone to to just forward it on to them. And we track all that sort of thing too. So we, I think you're all very good colleagues and helpful to each other too. I mean, it's happened many times where we find, you know, someone lets us know they got something that they shouldn't have gotten and if they, if you can just wait a little bit until we have a chance to respond, oftentimes we can tell you who it should have gone to and we usually, the person who didn't, who shouldn't have gotten it, is willing to send it on to the lending to each other. I'm saying you get the wrong format. You might have ordered an audio book and you get the print and it was, it was completed and looked carefully at the request. So we can usually call and say, I'm really requested that I'm CV and then they'll just the same library. We'll immediately be, you know, respond and send you the CV, so. Yep, it's an imperfect process. Right? It works really well. But there are snagging from time to time. We also just wanted to say whenever you have a reference question in any store and in a library, a lot of reference are so married together. And they never hesitate to ask us if you're stumped on something. I think we both agreed, at least I would never want to work in a one person library. I certainly need someone to bounce things off. And amongst our staff here, I'm amazed at the knowledge that we have or contacts that we have, or spouses that we have who have access to great resources. So we try to be really, very well connected. And so if you've got a stumper of a question, we love those. We'd love to help you and call us with anything or email. It's never too odd. I'm always intrigued by someone who says I have a really hard question and inevitably those aren't the hard ones. Those are actually pretty simple or are not as odd as some that we've had. So never hesitate to ask us a single thing. We love being reference librarians. And that's why we're here and still at it after so many years because we can't meet enough of it.  And we have actually online chat if that's something that appeals to you and that you don't even have to identify who you are if you don't want to do so. You just come to us as a number and we don't know who you are and we'll do our very best to help you. So we are grateful you are there.  We need you. Thank you very much. Indy, last call for questions. Alana, it's all for you. We do this all for you. Thanks, Laura. Crawford, do you have a question? How can we answer your question? Oh, she just, okay. Oh, thank you. Thank you so much. We're really glad you joined us. It's nice to get to meet you. Okay, well, if there aren't any questions, we will finish up and sign out for the day. Thank you very much for attending today. This session was recorded. We'll be available this afternoon for you to re-listen to it or because you're recording. Hope you'll join us next week for Encompass Live where our topic will be Google Maps and Alana Navani who's right in there. We'll be telling you how you can use the full tips and tricks for using Google Maps and how it can be used for your library and your library websites. Thank you very much. Goodbye. Bye-bye.
