Yvonne Williams of Portland took over from Doug Henrichs of Milton-Freewater as Chair of the State Library Board of Trustees. Williams will serve a one-year term as Chair. Henrichs has been Chair of the Board for the past two years. Williams has served on the State Library Board since 2001 when she was appointed to the Board by Governor John Kitzhaber. Williams is a retired librarian who served two terms on the Board of the Multnomah County Library. Another new officer is Sue Burkholder of Eugene who was elected as Vice-Chair of the Board for 2008-09. Burkholder has served on the Board since 2005 when she was appointed by Governor Ted Kulongoski. She is also a retired librarian and recently served on a citizens committee in Ashland that is planning for the future of their library branch. She recently relocated from Ashland to Eugene. Doug Henrichs will continue to serve on the Board Executive Committee as Past-Chair. STATE LIBRARY BOARD SUBMITS BUDGET REQUEST TO THE GOVERNOR On August 1st the State Library's Agency Request Budget for the 2009-11 biennium was submitted for consideration by Governor Kulongoski. The $17.6 million budget would fund all of the current programs of the State Library with allowance for inflation. In addition, the Agency Request Budget proposes four possible enhancements to the budget. These enhancements, or "policy packages" include funding 2.5 FTE in the Library Development Services division with state funds instead of federal LSTA funds, in order to comply with new interpretations of federal law from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. This would free up over $400,000 in LSTA funds that could be used to increase LSTA-funded grants and services for local libraries. Other policy packages would add two new staff to the Government Research Services staff to provide better citizen access to information on the Oregon.gov state portal, and a new student worker position to assist with fund development in Talking Book and Braille Services. Another policy package would double funding for the Ready to Read Grant Program to enable more Head Start programs in Oregon to be served by their local public libraries. The Governor will consider the Board's budget request in putting together his own budget proposal in the fall that will go to the Legislative Assembly next January. State Library News 2008-2009 READY TO READ APPLICATIONS DUE AUGUST 31 Applications for the 2008-2009 Ready to Read Grant are due August 31, 2008. One hundred and twenty eight public libraries are eligible to apply for the Ready to Read Grant this year.

The application was mailed to library directors and children's librarians the first week in July. It is also available on the State Library website to download, complete, and mail. Contact Katie Anderson, 503-378-2528, it you need more information or have any questions. 2008 FOCUS ON CHILDREN AND YOUNG ADULTS INSTITUTE IN SEPTEMBER The biennial Focus on Children and Young Adults Institute will take place September 14-17, 2008, at the Menucha Retreat Center. The Focus Institute is an opportunity for public library staff who do not have a Masters degree in Library and Information Science to obtain professional development in library youth services. Training topics that will be covered at the 2008 Focus Institute include: child brain development, early literacy storytimes, children's programming, reference for children and teens, readers' advisory for children and teens, teen services, and booktalks.

Other Library News BILL AND MELINDA GATES FOUNDATION PROVIDES OPPORTUNITY ONLINE GRANTS TO OREGON LIBRARIES The Oregon State Library estimates that the new Opportunity Online Grant Program announced by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation on July 15th will increase the capacity of Oregon's public libraries to meet the growing demand for public access computers by about 20% over the next two years. The new Opportunity Online Grant Program will provide 57 Oregon libraries with 604 computers over two years. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation will invest nearly $1 million and Oregon libraries will need to need to provide nearly $600,000 in matching funds. Matching funds can come from any local funding source. The libraries were selected by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation as libraries that serve high concentrations of people in poverty and libraries that are at risk of having outdated computer technology. The State Library is working with the Bibliographic Center for Research in Aurora, Colorado which is administering the Opportunity Online Grant Program for several states in the West. READING FOR HEALTHY FAMILIES BUILDS COMMUNITIES OF LEARNING The Oregon State Library and Oregon Commission of Children and Families received grants from the Paul G. Allen Foundation and Oregon Community Foundation to provide statewide early literacy training to all children's library staff and Healthy Start family support workers. The goals of the Reading for Healthy Families grant are 1) to train all children's library staff and Healthy Start family support workers in Every Child Ready to Read @ your libraryR, 2) for trained children's library staff and Healthy Start family support workers to conduct Every Child Ready to Read @ your libraryR workshops for parents/caregivers, 3) for children's library staff and Healthy Start family support workers to develop a local network for sharing resources and providing early literacy services to families in their community, and 4) to develop a cadre of 12 Every Child Ready to Read @ your libraryR Master Trainers who will be available to provider future training in Oregon on a contractual basis. The grant project is well underway; the first training for children's library staff and Healthy Start family support workers is planned for this Fall. Public library staff should watch for more information. VALLEY LIBRARY AWARDS PRIZES FOR STUDENT VIDEOS An innovative project at the Valley Library at OSU has created two new videos to orient students to the library in a way that is fun and engaging. The Library sponsored a contest and offered cash prizes for the best videos. Ben Taucher won the top prize of $500 for "Tommy's Trip to the Library" and Amy Dennis and Mary Needham took home a $100 runner-up prize. The winning video is featured on the Library website in time for new students arriving on campus for the fall term. The contest was made possible by the Robert Lundeen Faculty Development Grant which funds innovative projects developed by library faculty. Hannah Rempel, Margaret Mellinger, Paula McMillen and Loretta Rielly were the recipients of the grant that funded the video project. P.S. (From the State Librarian) Sometimes I lament the fact that in Oregon we no longer refer to public libraries as being "free." In the days of the Public Library Movement in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a "free" public library usually referred to a private, subscription library (usually serving just the well-to-do) that became supported by taxes, and thereby became freely available to all. Oregon no longer has any libraries with 'free' as part of their name, but this is not true in the rest of the country. Using the library finder tool on the website of the National Center for Education Statistics, I recently was able to determine that there are still 596 public libraries in the U.S. that have 'free' as part of their name. That's about one out of every 15 public libraries in the U.S. New York state has a large portion of all the "free" libraries (206) and New Jersey has a lot too (123). Other states with lots of "free" libraries are Massachusetts (62), Pennsylvania (46), Vermont (34), and New Hampshire (32, including my favorite: the Frost Free Library). Not all the "free" libraries are in the East. California has 12 and even Montana has two. In the earliest reports of Oregon public libraries to the State Library I have run across three "free" libraries. In 1909 the library that had been operated by the Ashland Library Association since 1891 became the Ashland Free Public Library, operated and funded by the City of Ashland. In the report to the State Library for the year 1909, the librarian joyously notes that the library was "made free" on March 1, 1909. Back in those days the library in Sumpter was known as the Sumpter Free Public Library, and the first library in Bend was known as the Bend Free Public Library. Over time "free" libraries seem to have fallen out of fashion in Oregon and other states. When Oregon public library laws had a major overhaul in the 1975 session of the Legislature, most of the language about "free" libraries that had survived many decades was taken out. I'm sure they thought they were modernizing the language by doing this. For me the word 'free' is a much better way to say "tax supported," and it coveys a positive image of a healthy community that is pulling together to fund the services that really make indispensable contributions to the quality of life for everyone. Maybe a "Jackson County Free Public Library" would not have lost two heart-breaking levy elections and would still be the best county library in Southern Oregon. Maybe a "Josephine County Free Public Library" would not be struggling to raise enough money through private "memberships" to reopen their libraries that have been closed for over a year now. I'd look forward to the day when these counties and other communities in Oregon that are struggling to fund their libraries could once again celebrate the idea of a library "made free." - Jim Scheppke Contacts at the Oregon State Library Technical Assistance: 503-932-1004.

In addition, to a strong focus on fair use, their book provides guidance for making copyright decisions in an electronic age. It also includes a representative selection of model policies and fair use guidelines for different types of media, a glossary, and an introduction to contractual agreements (with a handy contract checklist), distance learning, and protection of international works.

Grassley United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary 135 Hart Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Dear Senator Grassley: The American Library Association (ALA) supports S. 2977, the "Free Speech Protection Act of 2008", and asks you to cosponsor and support this important piece of legislation as a member of the Committee on the Judiciary. The "findings" in S. 2977 well outline how foreign courts are attempting to strip First Amendment rights of American authors, publishers, academics and others who publish, and utter ideas, opinion, research and criticisms. ALA has been following the issue of "libel tourism" and welcomes this legislation offering appropriate United States legal venues for victims of foreign defamation litigation. ALA is concerned that foreign "libel" lawsuits threaten authors and publishers and United States freedoms of speech and the press. Yet, through its chilling effect, such litigation also denies the American people the right to read and to access information - another inherent First Amendment right essential to our democratic form of government. The notable cases of authors Rachel Ehrenfeld, Mark Steyn and Joseph A. Massad, against whom lawsuits were brought before courts in Great Britain, where the burden of proof of libel and defamation is much lower than in our country, demonstrate that "venue shopping" is no fiction. There are serious legal, financial and creative threats to authors and others who should be appropriately protected under our First Amendment. This bill is carefully and comprehensively crafted and there is a need and urgency to pass S. 2977 during this congressional session. We support the proposal to provide a domestic legal option for bringing action by an aggrieved author and others caught up in these foreign lawsuits. This option would protect the rights of those against whom a "lawsuit for defamation is brought in a foreign country on the basis of the content of any writing, utterance, or other speech by that person that has been published, uttered, or otherwise disseminated in the United States may bring an action in a U.S. district court against any person who, or entity which, brought the foreign suit, if the writing, utterance, or other speech at issue in the foreign lawsuit does not constitute defamation under U.S. law." The proposal is realistic and provides a domestic alternative to fight "libel tourism" - really a form of "libel terrorism." 2- We stand ready to work with you on the "Free Speech Protection Act of 2008" and ask that you join Senators Specter and Lieberman in cosponsoring this important bill. It is an important and needed proposal that offers appropriate United States legal recourse for the authors and publishers who are victims of foreign libel litigation. Sincerely yours, Lynne E. Bradley, Director Government Relations ============= -- Diedre Conkling Lincoln County Library District P.O.

Mellon Foundation to the Duke University Libraries will lead to the design of a next-generation, open-source library system that is flexible, customizable and nimble enough to meet the changing and complex needs of 21st-century libraries and library users. The goal of the Open Library Environment (OLE) Project is to develop a design document for library automation technology that fits modern library workflows, is built on Service Oriented Architecture, and offers an alternative to commercial Integrated Library System products. Leaders of the OLE Project, representing libraries in the U.S., Canada, and Australia, will involve the library community in the design process through workshops, meetings, webcasts and online discussions. Through those activities, they will develop a plan for a library technology system that breaks away from an emphasis on print-based workflows, reflects the changing nature of library materials and new approaches to scholarly work, meshes well with other enterprise systems, and can be modified easily to suit the needs of different institutions. The project website at http://oleproject.org gives detailed information about the project and includes FAQs, recommended reading, and a comment section. "The information environment is changing rapidly, but the technology of library management systems has not kept pace," said Lynne O'Brien, principal investigator on the project and Director of Academic Technology and Instructional Services for the Duke University Libraries. "This project is a wonderful opportunity to design a system that supports library innovation and better meets the needs of today's researchers." O'Brien is joined on the OLE Project team by colleagues from Duke as well individuals from the University of Kansas, Lehigh University, the University of Pennsylvania, the National Library of Australia, Library and Archives Canada, Vanderbilt University, the Orbis Cascade Alliance, Rutgers University, the University of Florida, the University of Chicago, Columbia University, the University of Maryland and Whittier College. Because the OLE Project is a collaborative, community-based venture, there will be many opportunities for individuals from other libraries to participate in the project through regional and virtual meetings, discussion of plans and documents, comments via the project website and listserv and discussions at professional meetings. In addition to its development of a design document, the OLE Project is intended to create a community of interest that could be tapped to build the planned system in a follow-on project.

The Long Island Coalition Against Censorship is an association of 22 educational and community organizations (16 are public libraries and professional library organizations). The purpose of the Coalition is to defend challenges to the First Amendment rights of public and school libraries when there are efforts by individuals or groups to censor books and other materials In planning an exhibit for Banned Books Week in the fall, you might wish to consider displaying the new edition of our exhibit, "Censorship in Schools and Libraries." The exhibit presents 32 illustrations of censorship each one approximately 11" x 14" with accompanying text that is 11" x 14." The history of censorship in public libraries and schools highlights incidents of censorship that have occurred nationally during the last 150 years. Included are descriptions of the censorship of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, In the Night Kitchen, The Catcher in the Rye, and the novels of Judy Blume and Chris Crutcher. The censorship of Susan Patron's novel, The Higher Power of Lucky, which was awarded the Newbery Prize in 2007 is in the new edition. U.S. Supreme Court decisions (including the landmark school case in the Island Trees School District) and lower court decisions are an integral part of the exhibit. The 2008 edition includes efforts to censor the popular Harry Potter's children's books (Harry Potter books were burned in Alamogordo, New Mexico). Besides new cases, there is an update of censorship incidents in school libraries and classrooms that have occurred since 1990. Quality copies have been reproduced which may be readily presented on posters or bulletin boards in your library and then retained by you as a reference source. If your space is limited, we suggest that you rotate the incidents of censorship during the time the exhibit is on display. Excerpts from the exhibit are on our web site www.the-licac.org. Click on Exhibits, "Censorship in Schools and Libraries" (for a description of the exhibit) and then Selected Cases.

An HTML version of this release can be read on the agency's Web site at http://www.imls.gov/news/2008/081308b.shtm. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 13, 2008 IMLS Press Contacts 202-653-4632 Jeannine Mjoseth, jmjoseth at imls.gov Mamie Bittner, mbittner at imls.gov Apply Now to Become a Preserve America Community Next Quarterly Deadlines: September 1 and December 1, 2008 Community leaders are encouraged to apply for the Preserve America community designation, which recognizes a community's efforts to care for and share its cultural and natural heritage. The designation also makes the community eligible for special federal funding. Preserve America is a White House initiative conducted in cooperation with the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and other federal agencies.* The last two 2008 application periods are September 1 and December 1. Applications forms are available at http://www.preserveamerica.gov/communities.html. Through participation in Preserve America, communities share knowledge about the nation's past, strengthen local identities and local pride, increase neighborhood participation in preserving the country's cultural and natural heritage assets, and support economic vitality. Once a community receives the Preserve America designation, it is eligible to apply for Preserve America grants, which may be used for research and documentation, education and interpretation, planning, marketing, or training. These grants, which must be matched by the community, cannot be used for construction or repair projects. Last year, the government awarded nearly $5 million in federal funding for Preserve America grants. In 2008, $7.5 million has been made available for the grants, which range from $20,000 to $150,000. Other benefits of the designation include: * White House recognition, a certificate of recognition, and inclusion in national and regional press releases; * Official notification of designation to state tourism offices and visitors bureaus; * A Preserve America Community road sign and authorization to use the Preserve America logo on signs, flags, banners, and promotional materials; * Listing in a Web-based Preserve America Community directory; and * Enhanced community visibility and pride. The Preserve America program was established by the Bush Administration in 2003 and, so far, Honorary Chair and First Lady Laura Bush has awarded the designation to more than 600 communities nationwide. This month, the U.S. House of Representatives overwhelmingly voted to authorize the program permanently. To win the designation, applicants must submit an application with written support from community leaders and evidence of cultural or historic preservation activities. Applicants must be: * Tribal communities (federally recognized) with an elected governing official or subdivisions of such tribes. * Municipalities or counties with an elected governing official, or unincorporated communities within their jurisdiction; * Distinct neighborhoods within large cities or city-counties with a population of 200,000 or greater; or *Partnering agencies include the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation; the U.S. Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Education, Housing and Urban Development, Interior, and Transportation; the General Services Administration; the National Endowment for the Humanities; the President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities; and the President's Council on Environmental Quality. Further information is available at www.preserveamerica.gov.

You must buy 5 or more licenses per title at a time to qualify for volume licensing. For fewer than 5 licenses, you can purchase the Academic retail packages (where Windows XP runs about $100, for example). Most big mail-order vendors sell MS licenses through these programs. CDW Government (http://www.cdwg.com) is one example. (For libraries that are part of city or county gov'ts, the parent institution may already participate in MS volume licensing programs that offer heavier discounts, so it might be worth checking. Also, if you happen to be buying new computers, buying Windows pre-installed on PCs from vendors like Dell and HP is still probably the cheapest and easiest way to obtain new Windows licenses.)

In the week after the quake, the Library Society of China posted information on damage to libraries in the region on its Chinese-language website. The library building in Beichuan County collapsed, burying five staff members under the debris, but all were rescued after being trapped for more than 70 hours. Marcia Zeng, professor at the Kent State University School of Library and Information Science, posted an account of the rescue on professional discussion lists: "The team which rescued Li Chun had to launch three actions because of the still-falling bricks and worked two-plus hours nonstop with their bare hands and used a small knife to cut through the wood pieces around her." The Library Society of China reported that Li Chun was recovering in Huaxi Hospital in Chengdu. The Sichuan Provincial Library in Chengdu, the capital of the province, consists of a reading building, storage building, and office building. Although the facility suffered collapsed bookshelves, fallen ceilings and bricks, and broken windows, no patrons or staff were injured. Sichuan Province has 21 city libraries, most in the larger, prefecture-level cities. The city libraries in Mianyang and Guangyuan are seriously damaged, as is the Chotian regional library in Guangyuan city. Those in Neijiang, Meishan, Zhuning, Nanchong, Ya'an, and Ziyang (which was newly built) reported cracked walls. At the Mianyang city library, one staff member suffered a leg injury. The prefecture-level city of Guang'an has six libraries; although all reported some damage, no one was injured. Guang'an is the hometown of Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping; at the library named after him, the electricity and water supplies were cut off, the central air conditioning was leaking, and 12 computers and two elevators were damaged. In the county-level city of Mianzhu, the library walls were partially collapsed, but all 10 staff members were safe. The earthquake was also felt in neighboring Gansu Province near Inner Mongolia. On May 19 the Gansu Province Library Association telephoned 17 libraries in the earthquake zone and learned that four library buildings were severely damaged, six library buildings had less-serious cracks, and the other library buildings were untouched. The staff of all 17 libraries were safe, although two library workers' homes were damaged. The most serious damage in Gansu Province was reported at the Wei County library, where the building was unusable after its foundation sank between one and three stories. One staff member's house was severely damaged. Cracks were reported at the libraries in Wen, Li, Cheng, Dangchang, Xihe, and Lianglang counties. In the Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in southern Gansu Province, the library buildings in Zhouqu, Tai'an, and Diebu counties suffered cracks. In Tianshua city library, some bookshelves collapsed but the building escaped damage. Also escaping damage were the libraries in Wushan and Gangu counties and the Maiji regional library. The Chinese American Librarians Association has set up a website for donations to support earthquake recovery efforts in China. Posted on May 21, 2008. Updated by Sally Tseng on August 18, 2008: The magnitude of the deadliest earthquakes on May 12, 2008 were measured at 8.0 on the Richter scale which did massive destructions to the region, including 69,200 death tolls with 18,195 persons still missing; 374,216 were injured; over 15 million people lived in the hard hit areas, and tens of thousands of buildings collapsed or completely ruined, including libraries, archives, and museums. -------------------------------------------------------------------- This email and any attachments contain information from Blackwell which may be confidential, privileged and/or protected by other legal rules.

Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association Fall Show and Conference Message-ID: The Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association is inviting librarians from their five member states to attend their fall trade show and conference in Portland and will be offering special workshops for librarians. Please read this message from Thom Chambliss, Executive Director: PNBA Invites Librarians to Fall Show & Conference The Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association invites up to 100 librarians from the Pacific Northwest to attend our 2008 fall tradeshow and conference at the Portland Airport Holiday Inn and Conference Center, from Monday, September 15 through Wednesday, September 17. Membership in PNBA is open to libraries in all of our five member states, WA, OR, ID, MT and AK, and costs just $100 for 2008, which allows up to four affiliated librarians or support staff to attend the show for free. PNBA has always allowed libraries to have memberships in the Association, but this is the first year that we have actively sought out library participation at our shows. We are encouraging librarians to attend this show to learn more about the retail part of the book industry and to help our retail members learn more about how they might work more cooperatively with libraries to improve bookstore sales and library traffic. To encourage librarians to attend the show, we are offering a special series of educational sessions on Tuesday, September 16, specifically for librarians, but open to all show attendees. Many of the education sessions at this show address a variation of the question How Can Bookstores Work More Closely with neighboring Libraries for our Mutual Benefit? Anyone with a show badge may attend any evens, including the Monday education sessions. A primary attraction for librarians at the PNBA shows is the large number of regional and local authors who attend the shows to promote their new books. Many publishers send their authors to the shows to sign and give away advanced readers' copies (ARC's) of forthcoming books, as "review" copies. All show attendees are welcome to attend any of the signing parties at the show, including the Monday Nightcapper, the Book & Author Breakfasts on Tuesday and Wednesday, the Tuesday Author Feast, the Wednesday Author Promotion signings and the Celebration of Authors. There are extra fees for meal events, to cover the cost of the meal. The easiest way for librarians to register for the show is to download the pdf of the attendee registration form at the top left on our show web page, fill it out, and fax it to the PNBA office by Friday, August 29. Attendees can also register for the show on site, but must bring with you proof of book industry affiliation, which might be a business card, a purchase order, or some other document on official library letterhead attesting to the affiliation. The PNBA shows are not open to the public. If PNBA succeeds with this first, trial experiment with Northwest librarians, we will extend the invitation in 2009 and add even more educational opportunities, using more Northwest librarians themselves to produce the sessions. We sincerely hope that you will attend the PNBA show, for one event or for all three days, whatever works best for you and your library. Sincerely, Thom Chambliss Thom Chambliss, Executive Director Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association 214 East 12th Avenue Eugene, OR 97401-3245 T: 541-683-4363 F: 541-683-3910 E: thom at pnba.org W: www.pnba.org 2008 Show: Monday - Wednesday, September 15 -17. 2009 Show: Thursday - Saturday, September 10-12.

The grant program will help eligible public libraries in each of these states upgrade computer hardware in communities with high concentrations of poverty that are at risk of having outdated technology. Twenty-eight libraries in Alaska, 106 in Oregon and 87 in Washington have been designated recipients of the grants. Eligible libraries must obtain local funding commitments that demonstrate community support for maintaining computer upgrades. Librarians participating in the program also are required to attend a professional development conference focused on advocacy, to help them build the skills and confidence they need to raise awareness about the value of their libraries and increase local support. This is the second of three rounds of Opportunity Online grants. More than 800 library branches in Alaska, Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island, Virginia and Washington state are eligible in this round. The first round of Opportunity Online grants were awarded in October 2007 to Colorado, Delaware, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Nevada, New York, Pennsylvania, Utah and Wyoming. A third round is scheduled for 2009 for libraries in Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, Vermont and Wisconsin. The remaining 18 states are not eligible for Opportunity Online hardware grants due to their participation in the foundation's Public Access Computing Hardware Upgrade Grant program in 2006. To date, the foundation has invested $325 million in grants and other support to install and sustain computers in libraries and train thousands of library staff in all 50 states and U.S territories. Opportunity Online hardware grants are expected to be the last grants given by the foundation to fund computer upgrades in U.S. public libraries with vulnerable technology, but the foundation continues to support libraries through investments in Internet connectivity, research, training and advocacy.

This Special Supplement to "The Condition of Education 2008" provides a profile of the more than 1,000 community colleges in the United States, examines the characteristics of students who entered community college directly from high school, and looks at rates of persistence and attainment among community college students in general. It also compares the characteristics of these public 2-year institutions, and of the students who enroll in them, with those of public and private 4-year colleges and universities. Among the report's findings: * Among high school seniors who enrolled immediately in a postsecondary institution in the fall of 2004, 30 percent enrolled in a community college. * About two-thirds of these immediate community college enrollees reported that they planned to pursue a bachelor's degree or higher when they were still high school seniors; the other one-third reported that they expected an associate's degree or less would be their highest attainment. * Community colleges enroll larger percentages of nontraditional, low-income, and minority students than 4-year colleges and universities. * In fall 2006, about 62 percent of community college students were enrolled part time compared with a quarter of students at 4-year institutions. * Compared to 4-year institutions, community colleges rely more heavily on part-time faculty and staff. In addition, compared with the faculty and staff at 4-year institutions, the main activity of a greater percentage of community college faculty and staff is teaching compared to research or administrative duties.

We get the books from their original publishers. A reference publisher has asked us to consider converting their books. The reading level is high school and above. The books are all curriculum support with titles such as Critical Surveys of Literature, Great Lives from History, and Decades in America. Many of them are heavily illustrated. My question is whether these books would be useful to disabled library patrons, and would libraries be able to purchase them. Most of them are already available in electronic form over the web, so students can read them with screen readers and other assistive devices. The original publisher plans to make all their books available over the web, in time. If we published them in large print or converted them to BRF (electronic braille) and DAISY formats, would this actually help libraries and their patrons?

This revised edition of Wynar's Introduction to Cataloging and Classification (9th ed., 2000) completely incorporates revisions of AACR2, enhancements to MARC 21, and developments in areas such as resource description and access. Aside from the many revisions and updates and improved organization, the basic content remains the same. Beginning with an introduction to cataloging, cataloging rules, and MARC format, the book then turns to its largest section, "Description and Access." Authority control is explained, and the various methods of subject access are described in detail. Finally, administrative issues, including catalog management, are discussed. The glossary, source notes, suggested reading, and selected bibliography have been updated and expanded, as has the index. The examples throughout help to illustrate rules and concepts, and most MARC record examples are now shown in OCLC's Connexion format. This is an invaluable resource for cataloging students and beginning catalogers as well as a handy reference tool for more experienced catalogers. Disher, Wayne.
