[Michlib-l] MeL Minute: New Members on the MeLCat Advisory Committee

[Norris, Sonya (MDE)]

Greetings Michigan Library Community,



The MeLCat Advisory Committee has new members and several of them have taken a moment to introduce themselves to you. Welcome new members!



Jill Wioskowski, a graduate of Wayne State University, absolutely loves all things MeLCat and is beginning her 2nd term on the committee. She brings to the table small and rural library perspective and experience (class 1-3 libraries) as she has worked as a Director at Deckerville Public Library and Millington Arbela District Library. In April, she begins her new position as a Librarian at Dearborn Heights Public Library. Fun fact: Wioskowski has the cover of Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury tattooed on her leg.

Jill C. Wioskowski, MLIS

Library Director

Millington Arbela District Library





I'm the Head of Reference and Adult Services, and the guy who handles most of our MeLCat.  I love that because of MeLCat our patrons have access to materials that they otherwise wouldn't be able to get through the library system.  What's even more gratifying to me, though, is to be able to give a bigger audience to the offbeat items we have that aren't widely held.

My name is Anita Chouinard. I am the Circulation Coordinator at the Woodmere branch of the Traverse Area District Library (TADL). One of my duties is being the "MeLCat expert" for TADL. I joined the MeLCat Advisory Committee because I want to work with other libraries to help find ways to improve MeLCat for everyone. I hope to learn from those who have been on the committee for a while and to also bring a fresh perspective as a new member. This experience will allow me to better help TADL staff, and our patrons.

Hello, I'm Joelle Hannert, Coordinator of Tech Services at Northwestern Michigan College Library! I've just been appointed to my second term as a member of the MeLCat Advisory Committee. I'm so proud of the work that MeLCat does, especially in equalizing access to information for library users. As part of the committee, I'm looking forward to advising on cataloging issues that will improve the MeLCat database.

My name is Abigayle Quinlan, and I am Interlibrary Loan Manager for Cheboygan Area Public Library. I have worked at the library for two years now, stepping up into this position six months ago. I am still getting my footing here, but I hope that on this committee I can be part of the drive pushing MeLCat forward into greater things!
