Participants are expected to attend all 10 training sessions over the course of three days (see schedule below). The sessions concentrate on the principles of public library services to children and teens, and how to put those principles into practice. Session topics may change from year to year based on research, library practices, and trends which change and improve continually. Feedback from the previous Focus Institute participants is also considered when planning session topics. Training sessions are presented by highly skilled, experienced Youth Services Librarians in Oregon. Presenters are typically active members of the Oregon Library Association's Children's Services Division (CSD) and Oregon Young Adult Network (OYAN). Participation in the Focus Institute is limited to 25 people, thus registration is somewhat competitive. You will be notified by August 5th if you have been accepted or put on the waiting list.

The children, teen, and adults certificates are in full color, and the all-ages certificate is black and white. The children, adult, and all-ages certificates are bilingual. A partnership with the Oregon State Library, CSD, and OYAN. * For your readers who are print-disabled, borrowing books in accessible formats is easy. Fill out an application for service for the patron and sign the back page for them. Once that application is received by the Oregon Talking Book and Braille Library they will handle setting your patron up with plenty of titles in audio or Braille format.

Many of you already do or are trying to start integrating more information literacy skills development into your public library programs. This article may give you some ideas about which skills to focus on. Here are just a couple things that stood out to me as things public library staff can help children and teens learn: ? I have had students write in an assignment, ?books won?t have the information I need,? because they think all books are fiction. This is rare (happened twice). ? Students don?t know what databases are, or even what journals are. ? They do know they should not use Wikipedia as a source, but they don?t always know why. ? They don?t understand the vocabulary of information. Not jargon, but even basic things like the difference between print and digital? Here are two ideas we might steal: ? I talk to freshman about how using library resources online is their invitation into a part of the invisible web that they now have access to for the first time? which intrigues them ? You?d be surprised how often just typing your thesis statement into EBSCO or Gale (without quotes) is an excellent search strategy!?

The 2016 edition divides the standards into 7 categories: Empowered Learner, Digital Citizen, Knowledge Constructor, Innovative Designer, Computational Thinker, Creative Communicator, and Global Collaborator. Each standard has 4 indicators. Hover over or click on underlined words in the indicators to see definitions or examples. All of the standards relate to library instructional programs to some degree. Direct information literacy or research skills fall under Knowledge Constructor: 3. Students critically curate a variety of resources using digital tools to construct knowledge, produce creative artifacts and make meaningful learning experiences for themselves and others. 3a: Students plan and employ effective research strategies to locate information and other resources for their intellectual or creative pursuits. 3b: Students evaluate the accuracy, perspective, credibility and relevance of information, media, data or other resources. 3c: Students curate information from digital resources using a variety of tools and methods to create collections of artifacts that demonstrate meaningful connections or conclusions. 3d: Students build knowledge by actively exploring real-world issues and problems, developing ideas and theories and pursuing answers and solutions. http://www.iste.org/standards/standards/for-students-2016 FYI, Jen Image from ISTE website Jennifer Maurer School Library Consultant Library Support and Development Services Oregon State Library 250 Winter Street NE Salem, OR 97301 503.378.5011 jennifer.maurer at state.or.us OSLIS || www.oslis.org Learn to research.

Message-ID: <640435851FD7CB4AB3C4BE0D1963BA2464927CF2@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local> As you probably know, Pokemon Go is sweeping the nation? it?s a huge trend that?s getting people out into their communities. Below is a very timely post about how libraries may take advantage of Pokemon Go right now. The article is from ALA?s Association for Library Service to Children.?Have fun, Katie ________________________________ Why Pokemon Go and The Library is a perfect partnership Posted: 12 Jul 2016 09:01 AM PDT Sunday evening my family took a walk to our neighborhood park. It?s not unusual to see families out and about riding bikes or walking dogs, but this past weekend the parks have been full of people staring at their phones. Pokemon Go has taken over my community. I?ve never seen our park so busy! There were around 300 people out walking around the playing this game. If you?ve been on social media at all in the past few days, you have most likely have seen many mentions of Pokemon Go from the good-it?s getting people out and walking, to the bad-people are spending a lot of time staring at screens and not paying attention to their surroundings. So what is Pokemon Go? Pokemon Go is a free app that has players walking around their communities to find Pokemon in the real world. The game enables Augmented Reality which means the Pokemon can appear in ?real life?. The more Pokemon you catch, the more you can level up and earn experience points all of which can help you battle for gym domination. Why should libraries care about Pokemon Go? Pokemon Go is a great social game and getting people out and moving! In order to find Pokemon, you have to walk around and visit various places in your community. You also need to stock up on supplies, which you can do at Pokestops, which many libraries are. Some libraries are even lucky enough to be a gym, which means even more people coming through your doors as these are places everyone is after! This is where you can battle Pokemon and gain more points. Libraries are already doing some great publicity and capitalizing on the games success. [Credt: Aluchua County Library Facebook]Credt: Aluchua County Library Facebook Several libraries are taking advantage the fact that they are Pokestops. People have to be visiting your location to take advantage of the supplies offered in the game, so why not promote that and encourage them to come in from the parking lot? That?s exactly what Aluchua County Library did when they decided to drop a lure (a special item that brings Pokemon to your location for a short time). While there, encourage everyone to stop in, sign up for Summer Reading, and get a library card! We?re going to try this today at my library and we?re planning on setting up a table by our front door to greet Pokemon trainers (what players are called in the game), promote our Summer Reading Program and events. You can also provide some special giveaway if possible to Pokemon trainers or if you?re a gym, create some small gym badges and offer those to anyone who conquers your location. You can even take things one step further like the Farmers Branch Manske Library and set up an impromptu Pokemon hunting party. This could be around your branch, or if you have other locations nearby, like this library, you can go out walking. [Credit: Farmers Branch Manske Library Facebook]Credit: Farmers Branch Manske Library Facebook There are also numerous passive activities you can do with Pokemon Go. To go with our life size game day this past weekend, we put out a Pokemon craft station for kids to decorate Pokeballs and their own custom Pokemon card. [Credit: Sarah Bean Thompson]Credit: Sarah Bean Thompson We also made a passive display in our window asking patrons to let us know what Pokemon they caught in the library. [Credit: Sarah Bean Thompson]Credit: Sarah Bean Thompson I?ve also seen libraries asking what team patrons have chosen and you can put up displays asking about favorite Pokemon, Pokestops, or tips and tricks for the game. You can make pixel Pokeballs and there are tons of craft activity ideas from birthday parties that can easily be adapted to libraries. As the game continues on, libraries can be a gathering place for sharing tips about the game and a trading location when trading becomes available. Eventually the possibility to battle anywhere may also become available making the library a great programming spot for virtual Pokemon Battles. Still not sure about Pokemon Go? GalaxyBookJockey has a great post about what libraries need to know about Pokemon Go. Why does this matter to libraries other than being part of a pop culture phenomenon? As I mentioned, we hosted a life size game day on Saturday which happened to be perfect timing with the Pokemon Go launch. I added a promotion of Pokemon Go to the event, all of my staff and I talked up the game to our patrons, asked if they were playing and we quickly created some passive crafts and displays. As I was talking the game up to some of our patrons, one family got especially excited. The kids had recently discovered Pokemon and the idea of catching them in real life sounded like so much fun. I showed them how to play and then went back to the program. Two hours later the mom came up to the desk and said thank you for showing her the game. She mentioned her child had a disorder that made it difficult to process fat and that her child needed to be active but this was always a struggle as her handicap made this difficult. She mentioned that her child loved Pokemon and had been walking around the library all morning catching Pokemon and that normally she would be hearing complaints by now but her child was happily staying active. By providing a place to play the game, creating a partnership between Pokemon Go and the library and being excited about this pop culture event, we helped make this story possible for this family. And that?s exactly why libraries should be taking part in Pokemon Go.

If you want any facts or statistics, contact Katie at the state library. If you want to find your legislator, we have a handy tool on the OLA webpage. On your mark, get set, write!

"By simply dialing 211, the parent or caregiver is able to receive child care referrals along with secondary community referrals for comprehensive services." Regional Child Care Resources and Referral (CCR&R) organizations helped parents find and access child care and early learning services, and provide professional development and other resources to child care providers and early learning professionals. Starting at the beginning of this month, the services for parents have been transferred to 211Info. Parents can still contact CCR&R, but they'll be directed to call 211. CCR&Rs will now focus on improving and expanding the services they provide to childcare providers and early learning professionals.

Message-ID: <640435851FD7CB4AB3C4BE0D1963BA246493CEF8@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local> This year 29 Oregon public libraries are summer food sites, that is double compared to last year! Even more libraries are bringing their summer reading program to summer food sites or coordinating their schedule with a nearby food site to make summer learning and food available to more underserved youth than previous years. This is hard, but very important work! Partners for a Hunger-Free Oregon highlight one of your success stories on their blog. I thought you might enjoy reading about Stanfield Public Library's summer reading and food program. The article also includes advice for folks who are considering becoming a first-time summer food site next year. Stanfield is the first public library to also be a food site sponsor, meaning they have to buy and prepare the food themselves. Most libraries are food sites with an outside sponsor who does that for them and delivers the prepared food to the library. If you would like to share your library's summer food story, please "reply all" to do so!

Participants are expected to attend all 10 training sessions over the course of three days (see schedule below). The sessions concentrate on the principles of public library services to children and teens, and how to put those principles into practice. Session topics may change from year to year based on research, library practices, and trends which change and improve continually. Feedback from the previous Focus Institute participants is also considered when planning session topics. Training sessions are presented by highly skilled, experienced Youth Services Librarians in Oregon. Presenters are typically active members of the Oregon Library Association's Children's Services Division (CSD) and Oregon Young Adult Network (OYAN). Participation in the Focus Institute is limited to 25 people, thus registration is somewhat competitive. You will be notified by August 5th if you have been accepted or put on the waiting list. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Message-ID: Hi everyone! I recently moved to Oregon to be the youth librarian here in St. Helens, and while I've worked with teens before, this is my first experience doing all of birth through 18, so as we start to plan for next year's summer stuff, I'm interested in what others are doing. Who out there is doing Summer Learning this year? What does it look like at your library? Does the learning mostly come through in your programs, or does your club/reading log/contest also include something learning-ish? Bonus question: how do you partner with other community organizations over the summer? I know these questions are both broad and also kinda 101, but I'm interested in the library landscape in Oregon, and I'm curious about what smaller libraries especially do, so thanks a lot for your help!

UX in Oregon Libraries The fall issue of OLA Quarterly is dedicated to exploring user experience practices in Oregon libraries. By user experience, we mean looking at the whole of a user's experience with a library as well as the human-computer interaction. What are you doing in your library to enhance the user's experience? What tools is your library using or experimenting with? How do you assess the user experience? What has worked and what hasn't worked? This issue is about the state of user experience in Oregon libraries. The fall issue guest editor is Joe Marquez. He is the Web Services librarian at the Reed College Library. If you are interested in writing for OLA-Q, please submit your ideas (title and a brief description) via email to the guest editor for review. The guest editor will review submissions and respond to all authors in a timely manner. He can be reached at jmarquez at reed.edu. Please add "OLA-Q" in the subject line of your email. Deadlines: All ideas for articles are due by August 15. If your idea is selected, final drafts of articles will be required by October 15. The fall issue will be out on November 15. The article length averages 1,000 to 2,500 words. OLAQ authors retain the rights to their articles, and some have gone on to publish in magazines such as American Libraries.
