Spring Training Save the Dates! Join Us Virtually this Spring for POWER Library Training! Sessions will be held May 10 - May 13.

This year's theme, POWERful Partnerships, will explore a variety ways libraries can partner with and utilize POWER Library to better serve their communities. And don't miss the "EDI In Action" Lunch & Learn Speaker Panel to hear about ways libraries are using programming to further equity, diversity, and inclusion. Look for more information on session topics, speaker panel, and registration in an upcoming Access Pennsylvania News and in the POWER Library - For Librarians!

Please remember that while a recording will be made available, it is necessary to attend the live session to qualify for continuing education and Act 48 credits.

Reminder: Usage Statistics Can Be Sent To You Monthly

Taking a look at your usage statistics once a month is a good way to spot potential problems. For instance if you forgot to tell us about an IP change, there would be an unusual increase in remote usage and a drop in in-library usage. Working together we can usually figure out the source of a problem and fix it. POWER Library participants can have their e-resource usage statistics sent to them on a monthly basis.

To set up email reports:

Choose Profile on the side navigation bar in the Current Statistics module.
Select the Edit Profile button.
Choose the Yes button that appears under Email Monthly Reports.
