It has become more than just a trend but a dynamic service that has changed not only how companies conduct business, but the services they provide to us, the computer user. In this webinar, we will discuss what Cloud Computing is, how it has changed the way we use the Internet, and how our libraries might benefit from it.

From community forums to hacker-spaces, the way patrons interact with their library and each other is driving new visions of what libraries need to be. Our panel of expert architects will explore how new design philosophies can help patrons and librarians get the most out of their spaces while blowing the lid off traditional ideas of what a library is for. We'll look at model projects that are flexible; respond to advances in technology; offer community space; make smart use of indoor and outdoor space; and have successfully incorporated maker-spaces.

Today's children are growing up surrounded by technology and using tablets comes naturally to them. Librarians can introduce apps and digital books in a developmentally appropriate manner that supports early literacy development. This webinar will assist libraries in implementing the 10 Key Ways that libraries can improve early learning outcomes, especially "Linking new digital technologies to learning."

Merely "trying harder" won't help, but "trying different" can. This webinar will demonstrate how technology, coupled with appropriate strategies, can improve these executive function skills.

As a result, most managers today lack the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in a world where advantage belongs to the fast and the adaptable. However, there is a small but growing group of managers who are thriving in this time of great change by designing their organizations around the principles and practices of a new and very different model-Wiki Management. The practitioners of this new model don't build hierarchies; they build networks. That's because in a post digital world, networks are smarter and faster than hierarchies.

Staff providing reader's advisory may also feel at a loss when attempting to include graphic novels as suggestions. This hour-long webinar will help staff broaden their skills by adding graphic novels to their recommendations. It will show how to locate satisfying and often little-known graphic novels that respond to both the subject interest and personal appeal factors in readers who have little experience with the format. Ideas for encouraging experienced comics readers to move to graphic novels will also be discussed.

Yet sometimes we forget that it's a skill we need to learn, because: It's based on skills we think we have (talking or even listening). People tend to 'wing it' rather than develop their skills. Without good interviewing skills, insights may be inaccurate or reveal nothing new, suggesting the wrong design or business responses, or they may miss the crucial nuance that points to innovative breakthrough opportunities. This webcast will look at how to frame the research problem so it has the most impact on the team and their design.

The SRP brief provides a picture of summer reading participation in Oregon. On the summer reading webpage you will find the SRP brief in both a pdf and word.docx format. Libraries are encouraged to use the word.docx as a template to create their own summer reading brief to share their statistics with their library board, city council, commissioners, and other library stake holders. Based on requests from several libraries, the State Library also published the Summer Reading Statistics Spreadsheet. This allows you to compare participation in summer reading at your library to similar libraries in Oregon. In addition, I included the population of children 0-14 years old from the 2013-2014 Ready to Read Grant list and calculated the % of those children who signed-up and finished so you can get a better idea of the reach your program has in your community. Click on the tabs at the bottom of this spreadsheet to learn how many 2014 SRP certificates, 2014 SRP sweepstakes materials, and 2015 SRP manuals your library ordered.

The other half are in the Portland metro area and other cities. Teens are the largest group of students who are homeless. Kindergarteners are the second largest group of homeless students. Homeless students lag farther behind academically than other students in poverty. They do worse in math than reading. What can libraries do? * Be aware of and sensitive to the needs of homeless youth and the people taking in homeless youth. DoSomething.org has some general information, resources, and ideas. * Know and be able to provide information about local organizations and agencies that provide services to homeless youth and their families. This may be a place to start if you aren't familiar with these organizations in your community: http://www.oregon.gov/ohcs/pages/css_state_homeless_assistance_program.aspx. * Provide safe and dry space for them to identify community services to get help, check their email, do their homework, read, and socialize (i.e. participate in library programs). * Partner with social services that already work with these students to provide library materials to them. * Take library services and programs out to shelters and other places in your community where homeless youth already gather.

The four words that children ask, when you pause, telling them a story. The four words you hear at the end of a chapter. The four words, spoken or unspoken, that show you, as a storyteller, that people care. The joy of fiction, for some of us, is the joy of imagination, set free from the world and able to imagine. - Neil Gaiman _______________________________________________ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

As our organizations enter into new territory, so our boards need to lead differently - yet we continue to put our efforts into getting the structure 'right'. But there is no magical number of board members or committees, or use of Robert's Rules of Order or Consent agendas, that will transform our boards into the strategic thinkers or powerful decision makers they need to be. Instead, structure must be seen as only the foundation - and board behavior and dynamics approached in a new way - to lead effectively into the future.

As Megan Brandsma mentions in her article on toddlers, telling children stories is a great way to develop narrative skills. The holiday season is a great time to remind families about this because they all have stories to tell about past Thanksgivings and other family holiday traditions. For example, as long as I can remember one of my Christmas Eve dinner jobs has been to prepare the lefsa. The last few years I've had a couple of 3-5 year olds "help" me while I tell them stories about past Christmases in our family. It takes me longer and is a lot messier, but, in addition to developing narrative skills, it keeps the kids well behaved and out of the way of the other adults doing the serious cooking.

The Early Literacy Grant request for proposals (RFP) is tentatively schedule to open in January 2014. For those of you in communities with state approved Early Learning Hubs, your hub must be the applicant. Libraries in other communities may apply as long as they demonstrate alignment and collaboration with the group that will become their state approved Early Learning Hub. The State Librarian talked a little about this at the Public Library Directors meeting earlier this month so you may want to talk with your director if they attended that meeting. Hopefully you are already involved with your Early Learning Hub. If not, it's not too late to get involved! You are an early literacy expert and/or an expert in delivering early literacy resources in your community. This is a great opportunity to actively participate in and contribute to your Early Learning Hub. I will keep you informed as I learn more.
