library newsletters on the web?

Fri May 25 22:59:01 EDT 2001

Published for generations, here's information about
 The Real Sheet,
 details from its masthead
 and cataloging data.

It's an exemplary newsletter and one source that makes
 our city's public libraries a little bit more
 transparent with respect to how things work
 back stage behind the scenes as it were.

Also, here're others' comparable web page links...

 President's Message
 Ellen Graf, CLSO [ Central Library Services Office ]
 [ clso at mbln.bpl.org  clso at bpl.org ]
 April 2001

 "...our very own managers are responsible for making
     their work lives more and more stressful. Staff
     look to managers to make their work, well, more
     manageable--..."

 "...BPL is experiencing a terrible crisis in recruiting
     and retaining librarians..."

 "...patrons must wait in long lines to get help and
     when they finally do get help, it is perfunctory
     at best..."

 "...staff becomes exhausted, demoralized and
     resentful..."

 "...We notice how staff is added to the financial and
     human resources departments when needed and how
     management positions are upgraded..."

 PSA Membership Meeting
 March 21, 2001
 Mary Bender Recording Secretary
 Communications Office

 "...President Ellen Graf reported that the PSA had
     recently received a letter from [BPL President]
     Margolis saying that our request to be put on the
     Trustees' Meeting agenda would not be
     granted...

     Since the PSA has observed serveral
     instances in which Mr. Margolis has demonstrated
     an unwillingness to talk to the PSA about
     workplace issues, we will continue to try to meet
     with the Trustees."
