 All right, good morning and welcome to this week's edition of Encompass Live. I am your host, first reporter here at the Nebraska Library Commission. Encompass Live is the Library Commission's weekly webinar series where we cover a variety of topics that may be of interest to libraries. We broadcast the show live every Wednesday morning, but if you're unable to join us on Wednesdays, that's fine. We do record the show as we're doing today and we post it to our website and our archives for you to watch later at your convenience. And I'll show you at the end of today's show where you can access all those recordings. Both our live show and recordings are free and open to anyone to watch. So please do share with your friends, family, neighbors, colleagues, anyone you think might be interested in any of the topics you have on the show. For those of you not from Nebraska, the Nebraska Library Commission is the state agency for libraries. So in your state, that may be the state library. And so you provide services to all types of libraries in the state. So you will find shows on Encompass Live for all types of libraries, public, academic, K-12, correction museums, archives, all sorts of things. Really our only criteria is that are something to do with libraries. We have book reviews, interviews, mini training sessions, demos of services and products. We sometimes have Nebraska Library Commission staff that do presentations for us about services and programs and things we're doing here through the commission, but we also bring in guest speakers. And that's what we have with us this morning. Actually, a guest speaker from another state agency in Nebraska. So, you know, part of us. We're part of the same group. And today we're going to be talking about this great program being just recently started up for Nebraska seniors. And seniors we're talking about, this is from the State Unit on Aging in the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services. So seniors are talking about over 60, not high school seniors. That was a whole different program. And Cynthia is here. She's going to tell us all about this great program. And sometimes it would be so good to introduce yourself more fully and tell us about what you all have to offer from the State Unit on Aging. Okay, thank you. Can you hear me? Yep, yep, sounds good. Okay. I'm Cynthia Braumeier. I'm the administrator for the State Unit on Aging in Nebraska. We are a really small unit within the division of Medicaid and long term care. Our funding is through the administration for community living at the federal level administration on aging. We also receive two sets of funds from the Nebraska legislature for aging services. And those all support the aging programs across the state. We fund area agencies on aging and they in turn fund senior centers and all the programs at the local level. The AAAs, we refer to them as AAAs, not the driving people, the area agencies on aging. And they offer an array of some portion of 50 services at the local level. The running joke, when you're at a conference is you've seen one AAA you've seen one AAA so everybody is a little bit different, but then there's a lot of similarities. All of the AAAs offer meal programs, congregate and home delivered, and those can include meals on wheels programs or other agreements. All the AAAs offer care or case management, information referral, caregiver programs and home services, and support senior centers. And it's kind of a mix of services and programs for the AAAs and their boards that they see are needed most in the community. And today I'm going to talk about some stuff that we do new program that we have just signed a contract for with get set up which was an online learning platform. Give you a little bit of information about the AAAs. Show you some publications that we provide online that can be downloaded and filled out for seniors, like powers of attorney and living wills that sort of thing. A little bit of information on the long term care and Budsman program legal services where we interact with legal aid and give you a little bit of information on World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. So the reason that we got invited to do this was the partnership with get set up, and we saw a real need for more digital literacy for older Nebraskans before the pandemic and certainly during the pandemic. Social isolation was, you know, is a big problem. And we had some funds to try out an online learning platform, and we are dipping our toe in that water so to speak. Get set up is an online learning platform for older adults to learn in a small interactive class setting about their device and get comfortable with online activities, and then there are thousands of classes being offered. More than 50 a week are being offered in multiple countries and multiple languages. And our theory was that once you learned how to use your device and you could join a zoom meeting and you got that comfort level, you can use any learning platform. It doesn't have to be zoom and it doesn't have to be this particular one. The classes for Ali in Nebraska all went online during the pandemic they are now a mix, but this gives a level of comfort. The last few years with everyone being going to zoom or online type interactions for all sorts of things in their lives. Yes, yes, exactly medical. Everyone has become a lot more comfortable with that. Many people. Yes, and, and that kind of interaction now so just these things that this kind of learning would be so much like a no brainer for some people. So yeah. So this was one way that you could learn how to use your device and participate in telehealth for medical providers and something that you know rural Nebraskans really can use. It'll avoid the trip to a larger city if it's not necessary and right now that's going to save some gas money as well as time, and the capability is there. So the platform is get set up. And I'm going to show you some screens but I'm going to come back to this so that I can open it up live. We have a contract for 20,000 online classes for a year. And this will run from March to March, and so far about 4000 classes have been used so we can tell that the interest is there. The classes are being taught by people age 50 and over for adults age 50 and over. The classes are not exclusively about aging, but they focus on those aspects that are age related. So within the interest and funding from the legislature broadband is being made more available in rural Nebraska and it seemed like a really good time to, and a good fit for us to try this type of education. So we can increase in online literacy, we can fight fraud, we can fight other forms of elder abuse and connect people, and that we hope with librarians across the state of Nebraska, we can make this available to more adults. And maybe it will help alleviate some of the technological questions that you get at the local level. You know, there's a lot of stuff going on there's health and wellness classes and, and other cooking classes and I'll show you a little bit about what the, what people have been taking across the state which is kind of fun. So, during COVID, like I said, we had a lot of social isolation and communication really decreased. And there was a real need for digital access to know how to use your devices, and the classes are available right now. And they do, they will run until March of next year or until we run out of money so we will see if we need to write an RFP or if somebody else wants to take, take up the cause and fund that it wasn't very expensive we spent $50,000 to try this out and we think that it's already money well spent. The teachers are from all over the world. Right now there are about 4 million adults taking classes in 160 countries, and people who want to learn more will need an internet device and a phone number. And they'll be asked to set up a password but once you've logged in from a device that will just remember you, you'll see that it'll say welcome back Cynthia when we log in. Class times will follow you from your time zone. So, I'm in central time zone today and I log in and it's going to show central time. If I go to Arizona for a couple of months and log in it's going to know what time zone I'm in in Arizona. All of the classes have closed captioning available, and all of the classes have a technical person available in case something goes wonky for them. And they are the live classes are taught by a person and they have limited seating so to speak, so that people can interact and the classes like the ones that help you learn how to use your phone. For instance, we'll have a very small class size so that you have an opportunity to interact one on one with those instructors. The first two classes that they recommend are orientation related getting comfortable with your device, learning how to use zoom and learning how to sign up for classes. And again, those are the kinds of skills that people would need, regardless of what platform they're using those kind of skills are transferable. And I'm going to use my mother-in-law is a great example she's 83 during the pandemic she was not a big fan of zoom, but she and her friends had been playing bridge every week. And so one of them found an international online bridge game that you could drop in if you had your four people, and they played bridge virtually and had a good time, and then you have a little chat feature on the side so they enjoyed that as much as they could, which I thought was really fun. And her church went zoom, you know, for, I don't know year and a half. And they have now made zoom. And I think, you know, most churches have done this, they've made their online presence, a permanent fixture so you can either go in person which my mother-in-law is very happy to go in person now. But there's a whole bunch of people that can log in from anywhere in the world and participate. Well, listen anyway, I think it's really become an accessibility issue for many people. It has. It has made a huge difference to people who are homebound whether it's for aging or physical reasons or whatever they can participate in so many more things out in the world now. Yes. And I think that because of it being virtual, and the public libraries we hear about, you know, the story times went virtual, and there are families who like I love my child to be able to attend storytime, but I don't have the time to drive them to the library have a storytime drive them home. I mean, that that could be a large chunk of my time, but I can sit in front of the computer right there at home for 20 minutes and I get to interact and have a great time and they learn. And many libraries also are keeping the virtual options as well. So many more people can attend things and 10 conferences, 10 national conferences now that maybe you can never travel to. Yes. There's so many reasons. And it's just, I think it's just amazing and hopefully this will be one of them. Silver lining to think about positive things that is maintained visiting people who are advocates for the disabled are really really pushing for. You don't stop this you have suddenly made the world open for it to all of us and can't take it away. Yeah, and you know, right when the pandemic hit I was supposed to go to a conference in person. And they shifted they went to total online. And they did an amazing job. They had little breakout sessions they had a little social areas. You know, and conferences very often will, you know, have catering and everybody, you know, has lunch and you see the vendors and stuff and they sent us grub hub, cute credits, and we got to order food from home. Okay, we're not doing that for this but I mean it was, they really did step up and and make it as in person as you could get during a pandemic. It was fun. So when you do sign up, it will probably do a two step verification, mine doesn't do it anymore because now I'm already, you know, logged in and stuff but it will want to make sure it knows who you are. So this is what the home screen looks like. And I can let me slide back to the page, and it will take us there. So this is the Nebraska welcome screen and I've already signed up so it says welcome Cynthia, and this setup message over here was our kickoff. It's at the end of March or in March, and it gives you a lot of options. There are featured classes that are going on that you can book and screen. Oh shoot. Okay, let me try it over here then. I thought it was going to. Sorry about that. It's opening up on your other monitor. Why is it doing that? I thought I got it to. Yeah, it, I tested it. Okay, can you see it now? Okay, I'll just drag it over. Okay. So this is the screen when you log in and I haven't taken very many classes. I, you know, we're paying for them now when they gave me free access to play with it. It was fun. So you can host your own session once you learn something. It gives pricing so when they started this, they were doing online training for all ages. And when the pandemic hit, they saw a real need for seniors and so they went exclusive for seniors, people 50 and over, and they just geared up their program. So I can show you the classes. It will give you about two weeks in advance of classes that are available. And they'll be in in date order what's coming up like these are today. It'll show you where that instructor is. They have a really big presence in India now and big presence in the United States so you can see who's offering classes on what category. And over here on the right hand side, there are, you can talk about, you can filter for aging in place, cooking, exercise, food and nutrition, long term care. So we could see what's going on with that time management, different stuff that you could look at, you could schedule something for tomorrow. And it'll send you a little reminder. Once you've signed up and taken classes they'll send you emails almost every day that will say what you missed that might fit into your filter of stuff that you were interested in. So they have live classes and they also have classes that would be not interactive that would be appropriate for a large group and we've already had some senior centers participate in some of those. They, like a travel when, well and we had a lot of people participate in just the, the orientation to as large groups but there are travel, just, you know, telling about traveling and showing pictures and stuff from different areas. All the classes are an hour long. And there's live support. This phone number up here really does have live support for you to call somebody and say, oh, this didn't work for me. Or, or get some information on that. We're, we are pretty excited about that. On the right, there's a little thing that says hi need some help. Right, right, I could, I could chat with somebody here if I needed to. So it'll show all the classes that we might be interested in moving forward. They also have a set of stories, and these are pre already recorded but information from these hosts. Talking about different subjects, which is kind of cool. I'm going to turn that off, and I'm going to pull back over here. Okay. Let's see. Okay. I pulled that over. So that kind of gave you an overview of what it looks like for people when they sign up. What we, when I spoke to the staff at the library commission, I understood that they get a lot of people coming from the community, because they may not have internet, or they may not have a device. They may need help logging in setting passwords resetting passwords. I think that this service may help with some of those questions, although they may still need to be in your facility to do it. So, we've had a lot of press coverage already we had a really nice article appear in government technology. We've had some TV coverage and some radio coverage. I also did a quick interview art in the city of Lincoln, there's a city link, little TV thing that goes on YouTube, but it also goes on the local access channel. I did a little 15 minute piece on that that'll air next month. Right now, there are eight states participating in contracts very similar to what I just showed you. And I don't know all the eight states, but I know that Michigan, New York and California have contracts that look a lot like this. Right now there are four languages, English, Spanish, Mandarin and Hindi. They have 160 countries participating with members. And right now there's about four and a half million learners internationally enjoying this and right now we have over 4000 Nebraskans that have already taken some kind of class. Yeah. Yeah, we're pretty excited. So, what we learned from our first report for the first eight weeks was the top categories for Nebraska was communication and then the new skills and the technology which I think all of those fall into the, you better take this first so that you learn how to use it but also food nutrition travel wellness computers again which is a technology thing and long term care. National national front food nutrition, mental health wellness travel technology also you know just a lot of the same stuff in different different order. And then the top classes were our orientation piece and cooking and money management and caring for the dying process as a caregiver which is something that you know would be very personal you might not go to a class at the community center to to learn about that you might want to do that at home and more computer computer skills. It's interesting that you know we're all thinking this is about digital literacy for the seniors and like you said that they need more about how to use their device and it's kind of lowered down it's not right up there at the top of the classes that they were. Yeah. Well and once you get over that that hump, either that anxiety hump or whatever. Then, you know, the world is at your back and call. We're in Nebraska. And this isn't a big surprise probably for anybody from our state, but the top cities were Omaha Lincoln Grand Island Carney and Bellevue and all of those cities are along interstate 80. Little disappointed that it didn't get any further west than Carney but I'm hoping that with this interview will get get a little further west and three quarters of the people that are taking the class are women. And three quarters of the devices being used are Android devices. So I thought that was interesting. I thought that was very interesting. And that's something when you look at the statistics you hear Apple iPhone is the, I would say the one that yells the loudest that are the more the most done in the you know, advertising and. But in actually, you said just now. Well, in this instance, it was more androids which is interesting because classes are way better with a laptop or a computer and a camera. Yeah. You know, because you can see the person you can see the images. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well and an Android could be at some kind of tablet. I mean it doesn't have to be a phone, but. Okay, I don't know if there I have a lot of other stuff that I can show you. Are there any questions that people have at this point are there any things that make people go huh. You know if there are things that I can't answer, certainly happy to go back and research and see if there are other resources that may help our Nebraska librarians. Yeah, let's see if they want to say nobody typed anything while you were talking with that's okay. Okay, any questions or thoughts or comments about this I go ahead and type in the questions section if you're going to live in our interface. Anything more you want to see on the site any questions about how the process works, what's available. Or about what, you know, what you can access there. You mentioned something about how libraries discovery many having a lot of people coming in meeting help with devices and internet access, having good enough internet access better at the library than at their home, definitely a thing. But also, people do have their own devices but some libraries lend out tablets. Yes, laptops and hotspots that people have some sort of you know you don't even have a device. So this definitely would go along with that. Yep. On someone coming in saying I need to get on to do something. And then, you know, by the way, you also have these resources. You can help them get on and then get them signed up for the class that shows them how to use that kind of device. So, you know, that would take a little bit of a little bit of upfront but probably free up quite a bit of time for the librarians. And so the question you have is what exactly are you wanting libraries to do for about this. Yeah, share the information. I do have a little flyer that I will send you I meant to send that earlier. I'll write that down. We have a little flyer that agencies are printing locally and just putting up and it'll just kind of give some information and the URL was on that slide and my, my slide deck is available. Yeah, after when the recording is ready is available we will have these slides for you as well so you have all the information and the links to everything will be available. Okay, cool. Well we have a number. Like I said in the beginning we have a number of online resources. It's available to the general public. And I, one of the things that's different about what we do in the state unit on aging and the funding from the feds from the older Americans act is our programs are not means tested. Our priority is for the lowest income social isolation, you know, frail rural, but we don't go verify your income or anything when somebody needs services the primary cutoff is are you age 60 or over, or are you the caregiver of someone 60 and over, and then the rest of the services are available. It's limited, you know, it's, it's limited funding it's grant funding so when it's spent it's spent. It's, it's not like the other public, public benefits that are a match from the feds and as long as you have spending authority locally you can keep spending money. No deep pockets on this one but really quite the bang for your federal and state buck. I'll put it that way. One of the things that we, one of the things that we fund is the area agencies on aging and the aging and disability resource centers and the, the aging and disability resource centers is programs on and referral services, larger than the triple ways. So disability partners participate in that and it gets information referral benefits assistance and, you know, a deeper amount of counseling for people to find public and private funding and services locally. We have moved our 80 and that's called the ADRC we have moved our ADRC online provider portal to the 211 program in Nebraska and Western Iowa. The Nebraska legislature funded the public service commission, a couple of years ago to expand 211 service statewide and 24 by seven availability and so that is now available. And that was when I started this job eight years ago that was my ultimate desire was to be married up with 211 because I think that having one source for all the information is better than having 50 sources for a little bit of information. So we are there now. And our database was merged in in 21 and went live. We shifted over from the platform we were on in December of 21 and it has been, it has gone pretty well. We, in our eight in our ADRC project we have four partner organizations in Nebraska, Easter Seals, UNMC's Monroe Meyer Institute, the League of Human Dignity and Brain Injury Alliance. One of the things that we publish on the, on our public website is a senior center list and it gives where the seniors are, where the senior centers are, and what city, what service area it is, the phone number, their address what hours they're open. Do they do congregate meals, home delivered meals, and then any other services that they're providing and we have this available in an Excel table so that people could just sort the area that they need, or in a PDF if they don't have access to use Excel, and we publish this pretty often. At the height of the pandemic, this was on the front page of the DHHS website because senior centers were a focal point, and they were closing. Most of them were closed, and it was real important that people be able to figure out who was open and who was closed and what we were doing about meal delivery. So it was very important to get that out. Yeah. So something that we do is publish a lot of documents, like I said, that provide fillable PDFs or print it on paper and fill it out yourself for things that will help people avoid financial issues, or set up advanced directives for end of life planning, or a power of attorney, number of things. And on our website, okay, so if I pick it up from here, it should open up on this page, hopefully. Oh, no, it didn't. So I'll have to move it over. Okay. So these are, this is our resources page. And down here, it will show helpful guides, brochures and forms. We have an advanced directives, printable PDF, and it will, let me make this, can I make this smaller, maybe not. It'll give basic information about advanced directives for people, question and answer, and the process. I'm going to close that. And I'm going to close that. Close that. Close that. Pull that over. Okay. We'll just keep going back and forth. Ah, hold on. So one of the documents that we publish and then update on a regular basis is the benefit and resource guide. We look up the URLs to make sure the link still works. So that's most of what we end up reviewing and we just did that very recently. We used to print this and distribute it, which was very naive and very expensive. We ended up recycling stuff after URLs changed. So now we print it on request and then publish it online for people to use as they need it's 52 pages. So we would really prefer not to do a ton of them, but it does make it available. And it does include programs and services that are beyond what the area agencies on aging provide. And if you look through it and you see you think something is missing, send me a note because we'd be more than happy to add to this. The other another program that we offer and all of the area agencies offer is caregiver support. And this is just two pieces of the brochure with their information about the caregiver services at the local level. The other program that we fund, but we do not supervise is the state long term care ombudsman. And in Nebraska, there is a state ombudsman, which is an office under the legislature. The long term care ombudsman is funded by the older Americans Act, and a little bit from the state. And they are a mix of state employees, local area agency on aging employees, and a whole host of volunteers. And they represent the residents rights for people who live in congregate settings and when we say congregate we need nursing homes and assisted living. And they do a lot of mediation on behalf of the residents. And it's either between the resident and the facility or the resident and their family usually people seem to behave badly when money is involved. Yeah, the ombudsman program is really small and it does depend on those volunteers. It's a really wonderful service. And the feds have changed the regulations on this and they now require 30 hours of training every year. I think that was almost double from what it used to be. The volunteers have to be certified before they can go visit people in facilities and it's a really vital service and it's required. We are required to, as a state, provide this service in order to receive the rest of our funding and the funding that we receive for this is pretty small. There are probably six full time employees between the state and the agencies and then there are probably 80 volunteers participating. Yeah, in Omaha, the Eastern Nebraska office on aging has recruited I think at this point one volunteer for every facility, which is a tremendous undertaking and really pretty darn exciting. So if there are people that are looking for volunteer jobs that are super meaningful in their community, this is one that I highly recommend. Yeah. So one of the things that we fund that we are required to fund from the feds and we are happy to do so are legal services and every triple A offers legal services in some capacity. So some triple A's pay for attorneys to represent clients in cases who might not qualify for legal aid services because legal aid is super low income threshold and they do it's a means tested service. The triple A's participate in a contract for the elder access line in Nebraska. So this phone number that's up here the 5277249 is a statewide number, and it is answered by legal aid attorneys, and it's paid for by the area agencies on aging through the funds that I talked about earlier, and people 60 and over can call and ask questions and get them answered. And if they're, you know, high priority, and they qualify they may get further assistance. But not every state has this kind of service with a toll free number and available to everybody and it's not a 24 by seven number and I sorry I did not list the hours that they're open but they're open five days a week. And I think it's at least four or five hours a day that they take the that they take calls. The directives is another publication that we make available to the public, and it has several pieces of information for clients which I will open it. Let's see, hold on. Let's open it up and show you what it looks like. And then slide it over to the other screen. So this is a fairly quick document. Oh, did I know this is the same one I showed earlier, never mind. Okay, so we get decision making. There are several documents that get used out of this booklet. And this gives a very thorough without any fluff information about what people need to know if they're helping someone make decisions. And this is a, I don't know if everybody can see the table of contents so they type talk about the types of surrogate decision making. And what the limitations what a power of attorney can and can't do information about advanced directives with living wills and stuff and what you can and can't do information about guardian and conservatorship. And then other resources. And then how to use forms for healthcare powers of attorney and Nebraska power of attorney healthcare form. A lot of information that really very useful, very useful. One of the things that gets used a lot out of that document is the Nebraska living will declaration declaration. And this is just a copy of the top of the form that you would see in the book. But it can be pulled out of the book and filled out by hand. It also looks like at least the top of it has a fillable PDF in the online version. And then the Nebraska power of attorney works very much the same way and again this is just a clip of the top of the form. So, we do a lot of work like I said with legal aid, and they have two spots on their website that have forms, and I'll show you the power of attorney and the guardian ship. Let me see. Let me pull this up. I'll show you what the page looks like. I'm not going to log in but you can see what the page looks like so this and this may be useful for lots of stuff. Lots of librarians across the state, regardless of the age of the person coming in so there's a child support handbook. The custody divorce information paternity, the stuff that we were interested in was the power of attorney. Housing code is in inform. Helpful and the guardian ship handbook those are the two that affect seniors more than not. All of these are available for folks to look at. So they'll give you, you know, I mean this one's 27 pages long. And the guardianship handbook. It gives you information about guardianship. Pull that over. It's good to see if there's so many different him but so was through that legal aid there that I think can be useful as you said to libraries doing all sorts of things, not just things for their senior. Yeah, yeah, there's, there is just a ton of stuff available. I mean, it's hard to define, you know, it's, it's tough to be able to find some of it sometimes I mean, I've been in it, and I had been in it. And then I sent a note to Margaret at legal aid just to make sure that I was looking at the right stuff. Like is it sitting in one place all by itself. I'm going to show you this page to get started to refer people to these things but do not give legal advice. Correct, something that librarians do kind of know that with legal advice and not a lawyer I can't give you advice but I can point you in the direction of these people. Exactly, exactly, exactly. So this will require you to set up an account in order to access the documents, but it's like your name, an email address, a phone, it's not a, it's not a big, it's not a big investment of your time. And last but not least, we are coming up on World Elder Abuse Awareness Day which is June 15 and it's recognized internationally. There will be events taking place across the state and beyond. You could take a look locally for your area agencies on aging and see what they may be offering. In Lincoln, the aging partners, the area agency on aging here in town has a lot of events scheduled and they'll do things with the senior centers. In Lincoln at the state office building, we give away swag and brochures on fraud and usually cookies. We, we partner with the attorney general's office consumer affairs. We partner with the banking commission and adult protective services and office of public guardian. We partner with AARP and, you know, anybody that has swag, then we try to get them to give us stuff so that we can hand it out and entice people over to the table and talk to them about elder abuse awareness, and hopefully avoid elder abuse for our folks. Are there any questions? Yes, and there's Cynthia's contact info for if you do have anything in the future that you want to ask of her if you don't get your questions answered today or if it's something later of course that you're going through all these, all these resources that are available from the, you know, an aging. Anybody have any questions, any questions, comments, anything else you want to see more about or learn more about. Go ahead and type in the questions section of your web interface, or if there's something you've done at your library that has worked with some of these resources you want to share how if you do some of these. Definitely you let us know we love them. Sure. And I'm sure you'll be able to hear about how it's been used or how you might consider using it. Well, this is great information definitely. And as you said in the beginning we read connected with Cynthia about talking about the, the new get set up program all these online live online classes, which were a great resource and hopefully you'll have a lot of people coming into your library using them. Either in the library, I also libraries have, they throughout the endemic figured out how to give people also privacy for doing like telehealth things. So they have like either meeting room or a little pod rooms and places that can be used for people to use these resources. If they can't do it at home. And as we said, we will have the slides available afterwards with the archive. So all of this and the URL of the links that are mentioned down here, you'll have access to all of that afterwards so we didn't have to worry about scribbling down all the URLs or anything. I don't think anybody has typed in any questions while I was sampling away here. That's okay. Might just not need to know more right now. Oh, we don't think so all of this. So these resources on the get set up that there's just to confirm someone's confirmed there's no cost for the seniors using it that's all funded by the monies that you received. We, we bought a contract for 20,000 classes. And it that contract runs from March 22 to March 23, unless we use them up before March of 23 if we haven't used them up by March of 23 they'll just do a no cost extension and let us run out the rest of the contract so we'll get everything that we paid for. Yeah. I think that's important to you to push that this isn't going to cost anyone to attend these classes isn't like, right. Right, right now. Correct. And, you know, their retail price I think is about when they were doing, you know, single classes, or single memberships I guess it was about $15 a month for somebody to participate. And, you know, it just kind of depends on where you're at what state you're in, if there's a program already available. Michigan I think bought Michigan's big, I think they they spent hundreds of thousands of dollars. But, you know, we're one of the things that we're looking at is if we need to, you know, I don't think that we need to be the mothership on this this was an opportunity to see what's the interest what kind of stuff, you know, did it make a difference. How many people took classes, where were they from, what kind of classes did they take that sort of thing. But there are lots of online opportunities, and there may be other platforms. If we buy more we will have to go out with a request for proposals, and we still will have, you know, a limited budget. But we, we may spur some interest and there may be somebody interested in sponsoring this kind of class, you know, later. I'm open to that too. That was the one question that we did have about just to make sure about the cost of all. Does anybody has any other desperate questions I would ask right now that's great. That's not a problem. There is contact info though if you want to know more. Or just go and start explaining the page. We do have a link to the get for that page from our session page for today. And like I said, you have linked all the other resources in the slides and then double check all that. We get the recording up. So I think we could wrap things up. Nobody has any questions. Any last words Cynthia before I do my wrap up for the show. No, I appreciate being invited and I hope that it turns out to be useful every everything that we've got open to the public. Yeah, even if you're not, you know, so many things are just on the website there too if you're not a Nebraska person. See what they're that you might be able to use but see what your state is doing. You mentioned Michigan and other states. This is something that people want in your area. I know we do have lots of people who attend our show from all across the country or watch a recording later. So we'll come. I saw that very programs like this out there see what your state offering. All right, thank you so much. I am going to pull presenter control back to my screen. So I can show you about all the archives and that things up here so thank you so much and this is great resource so glad to have you get you on the show. Thank you so much. So here's our session page for today's show. This will be what we'll have for in our archives. So if you go to our main and compass live page, if you use your search engine of choice anywhere and type in and compass live the name of the show, the only thing called that on the internet nobody else use that anymore. These are upcoming shows for the next few months, but right underneath there there's a link to our archived and compass live shows. And here's that page. This is last week show is the most recent one at the top of the page. So today's will be here should be uploaded by the end of the day tomorrow usually takes about a day or so to get everything processing through YouTube and go through everything.

According to last week so want to keep on things you can like our Facebook page, or in place like Twitter and Instagram. We use the hashtag and comply with abbreviation. While we're here on the archive page I'll show you there is a search feature here so you can search for a particular topic or library or something that you might be interested in and see if we've done a show about it. You can search the full show archives or you can limit it just the most recent 12 months about something very current. That is because this is our full show archives and I'm not going to scroll all the way down because it's a very large page. This is our full show archives went all the way back to January 2009 when and compass live first premiere. So, you just pay attention to the original broadcast date of anything everything at the date and here's you know it was first happened. Some of our shows will stand the test of time so the good useful accurate info, but some things will become old outdated services and programs may have changed drastically. Some of the things may be broken something that doesn't exist anymore after over 10 years. So just pay attention to one of these things were originally broadcast that we are as librarians we do keep things for historical purposes oftentimes for our private purposes and as long as you place to host all of these, we will have these always up there for people to watch. And you'll see we also mentioned talking applying for a CE kept credit continue education credit. If you're in a Brasco library and you're attending today show live, we automatically issue that if you watch an archive show we've got a form to apply to submit for that. After today's show, but an hour after show everyone who attended, we'll get an email confirmation, which proves that you attended today show if you need to show that to your whoever does issue your CE or prove to your library administration that you attended. If you're not from Nebraska, not from Nebraska, you will need to go to your CE printing department, whoever does that to have them give you the credits for this, but you will have some proof of attending the live show today. All right. So, um, that is wraps up for today show. Thank you everybody for being here today. You see we've got our upcoming schedule may all June book July and August states coming up.
