Presentations Forms, Best Practices Collection
Hi Everyone!
In my travels across the Panhandle this fall, one thing has come up time and again. Many of you would like to have a collection of downloadable presentations on Computer Basics, HLC Databases, and other topics available on the website.
If you've created a presentation on any library related topic, and you'd like to share it with your colleages, please email me or Lee and we'll get them posted. I for one would love to have a stunning powerpoint to adapt to my needs for a variety of library topics.
You should be getting an email request from Lee soon. Keep an eye out for it! and contribute please! You all do such good work....

Panel Discussion on Literacy
I hope all of you plan to attend our panel discussion on literacy in the Panhandle. We have a great group lined up for you! Sorry about the confusion over the time. Check your email if you don't know what I'm talking about, but the discussion will only last from 10-12. Lunch and a Hug meeting will follow that. Lee and I will be available to assist you with your literacy and computer basics plan if you wish.
See you soon!
See you soon!

Affordable Accounting & Receipting Software Wanted
Hello, Fellow Library Staffers!
We are looking for affordable software, hopefully even use software we already have, to help us with our Friends donations. Does someone already have Excel spreadsheet set up for this, or something similar, and could share their database form and/or knowledge?
This software will allow us to input:
date, check #, amount, name, address, phone, email, type of donation
Type of donation will include:
Friends Straight Donation, Friends Dues (including whether it's for Family, Individual, Student, Sr. Citizen, Business or Lifetime for any of these categories) Friends Memorial, Friends Honorarium, Endowment Straight Donation, Endowment Honorarium, Endowment Memorial, etc.
Each type of donation requires a different type of notification so a pop-up screen should appear with the appropriate form, card and/or letter. The Endowment notifications will need to be numbered receipt letters/forms. The forms will have the name and address of the donor just entered and can be printed out, as well as envelopes or envelope labels.
Each type of donation will be totaled at the bottom of the column and some columns need to be totaled for a current balance at any given time.
It seems to me this could be done in Excel which most of us already have but I haven't worked with it enough to know. The software I looked at from TechSoup was either expensive, or couldn't be edited, or the support was expensive. If you can help please let us know!
Thanks so much for your time.
