[lace] IOLI Bulletin

[Elizabeth Ligeti.]

Thank you,  Jean R. for mentioning the IOLI Bulletin. I have not received mine
yet, and I haven’t heard of any other Aussies who have received it, so I
will mention it on the Aussie list, so they all can look out for it.
It is good to know when these magazines come out, as the Postal Service here
is dismal, and a couple of years ago some of us were missing 2 issues, - not
realizing they should have arrived months ago!

The UK Lace should be out soon, too, - shouldn’t it?  I believe the Aussie
Lace Magazine is in the pipeline, - possibly at the printers, by now.

Regards from Liz. In Melbourne, Oz.

Hi Jeri

The New England Lace Group uses Book Connect from Collectorz.com. This is
an online, web-based software that is very easy to use, and can be
accessed from anywhere. The subscription costs $24.95 per year and
includes regular software updates. Collectorz.com also offers a version
called CLZ Books, which is a one time purchase of $14.95, which includes
many of the same features as Book Connect. There is also Book Collector
which is downloadable software, so access is limited to the computer
where it is downloaded. The one-time cost is $49.95 and software updates
are free for one year.

Book Connect features approx. 40 editable fields, including author,
country, language, dimensions, edition, issue, volume, title, ISBN,
publisher, publication date, number of pages, purchase price,
genres, category, sub-category, description, condition, condition,
current value, purchase date, purchase location. NELG has categorized our
library books by type of lace, instruction books, history,
identification, etc. The catalog can be downloaded and printed and you
can customize which fields appear in the online catalog and printed
catalog. NELG has further identified our books by their location (i.e.
which box they are located in). This helps when someone wants to borrow a
book from our library since several members have several boxes of books
each.

Books can be added by scanning or keying in the ISBN, or the author
and/or title. The system automatically searches for a match. For example,
a search today for Pamela Nottingham returned 20 results. All results
include an image of the cover, the title, author, publisher, publication
date, ISBN, number of pages, dimensions, and subject categories (e.g.
bobbin lace, lace and lacemaking). When you have located the book you
want to add, simply click "Add to Collection", after which you can edit
the record to add additional information. Books can also be added
manually, and a photograph of the cover uploaded. This is very useful for
self-published books or articles that would not have an ISBN.

We have a public link on our website to our library:
https://cloud.collector z.com/NELACE/books/view. The view can be
customized to display different information - for example, if you want to
look at the books by cover, rather than in a list.

There is also the option to manage book loans and create a wish list for
future purchase. NELG has used Book Connect for the past several years
and would highly recommend it.

Jeri & list,

I'm very interested in the discussion of this, and my fellow lacemakers'
recommendations, so I, for one, ask that answers be copied to the list so
some of the rest of us could follow it. Not everyone is interested in
everything on the list, and if people remember to trim their posts it won't
clutter the digest particularly.

Thanks,
Nancy
