From baker_april_m at oslmac.osl.state.or.us Wed Oct 1 14:00:56 2008 From: baker_april_m at oslmac.osl.state.or.us (April Baker) Date: Wed, 1 Oct 2008 14:00:56 -0700 Subject: [Libs-Or] October Letter To Libraries Online Message-ID: <7AA73AEF-9120-4212-A2C3-339754293DB1@oslmac.osl.state.or.us> Letter To Libraries Online An Electronic Newsletter from the Oregon State Library.......Volume 18, Issue 10, October 2008 Library Board News LSTA COUNCIL RECOMMENDS 13 LSTA GRANT AWARDS At their October 17th meeting in Salem, the State Library Board will be considering a recommendation from the LSTA Advisory Council to award 13 competitive grants in 2009 totaling over $820,000. Among the grants being recommended is one to test and implement an open source integrated library system for the Sage Library System in Eastern Oregon, and another to begin the Oregon Digital Newspaper Project at the University of Oregon Libraries. Another project at the Deschutes Public Library would extend their successful partnership with K-12 schools to more schools in the county, and the Oregon Association of School Libraries is requesting a third year of support for the statewide Oregon Battle of The Books project. In other business the Board will conduct the biennial evaluation of the State Librarian and will consider recommendations from the Talking Book and Braille Services Advisory Council about the purchase of digital talking book players for TBABS users. The Board will also take up the Library's Affirmative Action Plan for 2009-11 and set new performance targets for the Oregon School Library Information System. An Open Forum will be held at 1:30 p.m. Anyone may address the Board on any topic at the Open Forum. The meeting will begin at 9:30 a.m. in Room 102 of the State Library. State Library News GOVERNOR AND TOP STAFF WILL MOVE TO THE STATE LIBRARY The fire at the Oregon State Capitol on August 30th resulted in serious smoke and water damage to the offices of Governor Ted Kulongoski and about 20 of this top staff. Restoration of the space has been delayed while the Legislature decides whether to have the Governor and his staff move back, or possibly move to a new executive building that has been on the drawing board. In the meantime, the Governor and his staff will move from their temporary quarters where they moved after the fire, to the State Library building. State Library staff, including the State Librarian, will be moved to the 3rd floor to allow the Governor and his staff to occupy premium space on the 2nd floor of the Library. The Governor will occupy the State Librarian's office. The moves should be completed in November. The Governor and his staff will be located at the State Library for at least a year, and possibly longer, if the Legislature decides to fund a new executive building which would take several years to construct.

Other Library News NUMBER OF TEACHER LIBRARIANS REBOUNDS IN LATEST ODE DATA In the latest Oregon School Directory, published online by the Oregon Department of Education, the reported number of teacher librarians in the 2007-08 school year took an unexpected 17% jump from the prior year. In 2007-08 there were 454 teacher librarians ("library/media specialists") working in 1,311 Oregon schools, an increase of 65 from the previous year. In 2006-07, the number of teacher librarians hit a record low of only 389. The report also indicates that there are 492 "library/media assistants" working in school libraries. This number is down significantly from just three years ago when the ODE reported 808 library/media assistants. The data is reported annually by individual school districts, so inconsistencies in reporting could explain some of the swings in the data. The State Library hopes that the increase in teacher librarians in 2007-08 may indicate an upward trend for the future. In June the State Board of Education voted to require students demonstrate proficiency in reading and math beginning in 2012 in order to graduate. Currently only two out of three students in Oregon are able to pass the 10th grade reading test. Schools may need to reinvest in their school libraries, beginning in the early grades, as an important part of their strategy to enable all students to get a high school diploma. MULTNOMAH COUNTY LIBRARY SELECTED FOR "JOHN ADAMS UNBOUND" The Multnomah County Library is one of only 20 libraries nationwide that were selected by the American Library Association to host a new traveling exhibition based on a recent exhibit at the Boston Public Library. The National Endowment for the Humanities provided major funding for "John Adams Unbound" which explores Adams' personal library - a collection of 3,500 books willed by Adams to the people of Massachusetts and deposited in the Boston Public Library in 1894. The Multnomah County Library will have the 1,000 square foot exhibit for six weeks and will receive a $2,500 grant from NEH for attendance at an exhibit planning workshop and other exhibit-related expenses. ORBIS CASCADE ALLIANCE RECEIVES NATIONAL LEADERSHIP GRANT The Orbis Cascade Alliance has received one of 44 National Leadership Grants for 2008 from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. The Alliance will partner with several of its academic library members on "Planning for Northwest-Wide Access to Digitized Primary Sources." The $38,844 grant from IMLS will assist the partners to plan for the future of the Northwest Digital Archives program of the Alliance, which serves archives in Oregon, Washington, Alaska, Idaho, and Montana with a database of finding aids for its members' archival collections. The outcome of the project will be solutions to problems that are currently impeding the development of sustainable digital programs. P.S. (From the State Librarian) We have had some interesting discussions recently with the Statewide Database Licensing Committee and the LSTA Advisory Council about the future of L-net. The L-net Coordinator, Caleb Tucker-Raymond, has been working on a proposal to have Oregon libraries share in the cost of L-net, at the request of the State Library Board. Up until now, L-net has been funded through a grant of LSTA funds to the Multnomah County Library. The bulk of the grant covers the cost of two staff to lead the project and the software to run L-net. The cost of staffing L-net is borne by over 30 public, academic, school and special library partners and even some free-lance volunteers. L-net is now a pretty mature service that does a good business (an average of about 60 questions a day in 2007-08 and growing). Most of the users are K-12 students and college students. But what does the future hold for L-net and for e-reference service in general? This question lurks in the background when we begin to talk about Oregon libraries having to begin to make a cash contribution to the service. At the LSTA Council meeting I shared my vision for the future of L-net and e-reference service. I start from the premise that now and in the future the #1 destination by far for information will be the Web. And if people go to the Web for information, that's where libraries have to be. There is really no alternative. If you look at it this way, the distinction between reference and e-reference goes away, as it should. L-net ceases to be a sideline for reference librarians (and an optional skill set). E-reference becomes the main event. What I would like to see five years from now is that every library offers e-reference service for its own clientele through a variety of channels (email, chat, IM, text, VoIP, whatever is next) and that the service is heavily promoted and widely utilized. L-net can help by providing state-of-the-art software tools to enable libraries to do this. L-net has already developed an open source tool, replacing OCLC QuestionPoint, that they may make available to Oregon libraries in the near future. Because very few libraries can offer e-reference service to their own customers 24/7 on their own, this is another way that L-net can help by providing back-up service for busy times and night and weekend service. I envision all Oregon reference librarians being on call for e-reference (their local/campus service and occasionally for L-net) for a good bit of their workday, and having the skill to integrate e-reference with their other work. It's time for all library managers to finally let go of the past and embrace the collaborative, Web-enabled future of reference service. E-reference is reference. And the sooner everyone gets on board with that idea, the sooner we will arrive at a future where libraries are able to reclaim a significant market share in the information business. - Jim Scheppke Contacts at the Oregon State Library Technical Assistance: 503-932-1004.

We will have a special visitor, Gloria Zamora, president elect of the SLA (Special Libraries Association). Geoff Wexler, Senior Archivist at the Oregon Historical Society, will be hosting our meeting, and will talk to us about OHS's collection.

Two weeks ago, L-net, Oregon's statewide reference service, switched to an open-source software platform to deliver live chat and e-mail reference service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. For over 5 years, we have been a centralized service. Now we are now able to expanding our role to also become a utility that every Oregon library can use to provide online reference service to their own community. L-net has two goals: The first is to provide quality online reference service to all Oregonians. Last year, we served over 21,000 people with our live chat and e-mail service, most of whom identified themselves as kids. Our second goal is to provide workers in Oregon libraries with skills and tools to deliver online reference service. We hope that our new software, Jive Software's OpenFire, FastPath and Spark suite of Enterprise Instant Messaging tools will help us realize our second goal in the same way that our previous software provider, OCLC QuestionPoint, helped us to grow into such a busy service.

LaGuardia, Cheryl, ed. New York: Neal Schuman, 1998. isbn 1555702937 027.70973 Recre Description Academic libraries are being literally reinvented: buildings, collections, personnel, organizations, a new generation of computerization - even who and where their clients are is changing. These essays are by leading academic library "recreators." Richard De Genarro talks about The Library as a State of Mind; Clifford Lynch reveals how he is Recomputerizing Libraries; James Rettig describes Buildings That Help, Not Hinder; Esther Grassian defines Librarian Teachers; Ilene Rockman shares strategies for Reaching the Remote user; Joseph Boisse characterizes The Truly Diverse Clientele; and others address a spectrum of issues ranging from academic to electronic collections. Finding Common Ground: Creating the Library of the Future Without Diminishing the Library of the Past. LaGuardia, Cheryl and Barbara A. Mitchell, eds. New York: Neal Schuman, 1998. isbn 1555702902 025.00285 Recre >From Library Journal A conference held at Harvard in March 1996, "Finding Common Ground" addressed anxieties over the future of libraries, "virtual" and otherwise. Editors LaGuardia (coordinator, Electronic Teaching Center, Harvard College Library, and LJ columnist) and Mitchell (head of access services, Widener Library, Harvard College) helped plan the conference and have sorted the numerous papers into six topical sections focusing on technology, service to library users, support for scholarly research, economic issues, organization of information, and the library organizational structure. Collections of conference proceedings are often uneven; this publication is no exception, featuring several high-quality papers among a number of less engaging efforts. (Undoubtedly, all of the contributions would have been more effective at the event itself.) All of the papers pertain almost exclusively to academic or research libraries. The unquestionable high point is Clifford Lynch's insightful keynote address, which ought to be read by librarians both in and out of academe. Most of the remaining works recount findings from studies or experiences at the presenters' institutions, occasionally lapsing into excessive detail. Academic librarians and library and information science scholars will not likely read the work from cover to cover but will find a good number of the papers worth their time and attention. Description Here is an exploration of reasonable, cost-possible ways to develop the libraries of tomorrow. Over 50 articles by top thinkers including Clifford Lynch, Walt Crawford, Margo Crist, James Rettig, and Maureen Sullivan, cover such topics as redefining the future of reference services; government information in the 21st Century; integrating technology and information skills across the curriculum; developing new electronic services; cataloging digital libraries; and migrating an information system to the World Wide Web. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We have a great day planned, including a two hour presentation by Laurie Danahy, Early Childhood Education Specialist from the Oregon Department of Education, called "Early Numeracy at the Library." What is early numeracy? Learn what the research says about it and how librarians can incorporate early number and math concepts into our library storytimes. Laurie has provided many Head Start trainings on this topic and will also discuss other ways that libraries can promote this important aspect of early brain development. We will also take time in the afternoon to share wonderful new fingerplays, songs, flannelboards, and props that have made a storytime especially successful and for this, we need YOU! Please write up one item to share and email it to Karen Fischer at kfischer at cityofsalem.net. She will organize all the great ideas into a handout for Workshop attendees. We'll take an hour to allow demonstrations of your great ideas for the entire group. Don't forget to bring one or more items for our silent and oral auctions, with proceeds used to provide scholarships to attend professional meetings for Youth Services librarians.

I got requests from some to keep posting it and from some to not post it because they already got it. The numbers were about evenly split. Some of those that already received it said that it should be a perk of membership in the American Library Association. I really did not like this position because I thought that the more people know about ALA and libraries in general the better. This evening I am just getting around to reading blogs and I found this on "Library Juice." Now those of you who are not ALA members can subscribe. It is an interesting collection of stories so I hope that you do subscribe. http://libraryjuicepress.com/blog/?p=720 October 16, 2008 American Libraries (magazine) more accessible Two press releases in two days, this one from George Eberhart of ALA?

From its origins as the state-based Colorado Digitization Project, BCR's Collaborative Digitization Program (CDP) has become a model for creating digital access to the cultural, historical and scientific heritage collections of the West by building collaboration between archives, historical societies, libraries and museums. During the last 10 years, the foundation of BCR's CDP evolved from the premise that Colorado's archives, libraries, museums and historical societies could collaborate to share their unique resources and special collections through digitization. This type of cultural heritage collaboration had never been attempted in the U.S. In 1999-2001 CDP received the first of many state and federal grants. This initial IMLS grant allowed the CDP to establish regional scan centers, develop a robust training program, consulting services and a grant program that supported digitization of cultural heritage holdings. In 2001, the CDP was expanded beyond Colorado through the Western Trails project, bringing Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas and Utah cultural heritage institutions into the collaborative. In April 2007, the CDP merged into BCR. "The merger of the CDP and BCR has resulted in new initiatives such as collaboration with the Colorado Wyoming Association of Museums on a 2008 IMLS Connecting to Collections grant proposal," noted Brenda Bailey-Hainer, BCR President and CEO. Today, the CDP is part of BCR's Digital and Preservation Services unit, offering training and consulting services along with products and services that support libraries' and cultural heritage institutions' digital programs. New content is being added to Heritage West on a regular basis, and BCR is partnering to submit grants that will advance digital and preservation programs in member organizations. Continuing with the CDP's tradition of collaboration and outreach services, BCR's CDP program offers best practices and resources for anyone developing their institution's digital collections. Access to the resources created by the CDP members and participants is sustained through the expanding Heritage West database. In addition to increasing access to these unique resources, the CDP also has explored opportunities for incorporating digital primary source materials into classroom instruction. Today, there are more than 130 lesson plans for K-12 teachers available through the BCR CDP website. "After more than a decade, the CDP continues to offer libraries and other cultural heritage institutions across the West and the nation access to tools that support their work in creating digital content, as well as examples for how to incorporate digital content into teaching and learning," commented Liz Bishoff, Director, Digital and Preservation Services, BCR. About BCR BCR brings libraries together for greater success by expanding their knowledge, reach and power. They offer a broad range of solutions and their hands-on, personal attention to each member enables them to deliver effective and timely solutions that help libraries keep pace with new developments in technology and services.

Message-ID: <1B3E2EE7-3C5F-4427-BF3E-C5BB6CBA0300@oslmac.osl.state.or.us> Last Sunday's Oregonian had the attached article by Matt Love (cut and paste below) regarding the OREGON CENTENNIAL ANTHOLOGY. Matt's reflections about how Oregon has changed since 1959 are worth reading. Because Hood River County Library is one of the few libraries in the Northwest that still owns this anthology, we are getting inquiries. But everyone can have access since Matt Love has put this work on the web for all to find--- another indicator of how much has changed in just 50 years. In 2009 as Oregon commemorates its 150th anniversary, the Oregon Library Association is celebrating by inviting all Oregonians to read and discuss the same books. 'Stubborn Twig' by Lauren Kessler is the selection for adult readers. Visit www.oregonreads2009.org to learn more.

Reviews Not too long ago, as Oregon's sesquicentennial drew closer, I wondered: Was an anthology published for the state's centennial? Surely, I thought, such a book exists, even though I'd never encountered one in all my years of literary sleuthing across the state. With the help of a friend, I began an investigation, and soon received a letter in response to a phone message I'd left. I excerpt part of the letter here: Dear Matt: Thanks for the telephone call. The centennial anthology was Governor Hatfield's idea. He came to me, knowing something, I suppose, of my reputation. Why we turned the project into a contest, I don't recall. I have no idea how many copies the state printed. I put it together and sent it to Salem. And that was about it. How did you ever find it? Arthur Kreisman In 1959 the State of Oregon published the "Oregon Centennial Anthology: A Collection of Prize-winning Short Stories and Poems." The 64-page pamphlet was edited by Kreisman, an English professor at Southern Oregon College. The anthology contains six short stories and six poems and was the product of a contest open to college students and the general public. William Stafford, who later became Oregon's Poet Laureate, won both the open poetry and short story competitions. Winners received $250, second prize earned $200 and third place netted $150. I also learned that exactly 18 copies of the "Oregon Centennial Anthology" reside in libraries across the Pacific Northwest (although many of the copies cannot be checked out for general circulation), and there isn't one copy for sale, at least the last time I checked online. I may have obtained the last one, which is great for me, but terrible for Oregon literary and history junkies. In his excellent introduction to the anthology, Kreisman wrote, "One hundred years is not a very long time, as human history goes, and it is considerably less than that since Oregon was largely frontier country, a new land, opening its arms to new people who had come to build lives for themselves, and in the process built a state. The next hundred years will see such growth in Oregon as is undreamt of by most of us today." The message of the first Oregon Trail to America was: "Nature is here. A rich landscape. Go. Take it. It will last forever. Start your life over." When the state celebrated its centennial in 1959, the message was exactly the same and manifest, at least to me, in the "Oregon Centennial Anthology." What intrigued me after reading it (and watching the View-Master reels of Oregon's Centennial Exposition) was realizing that the modern Oregon we all know and love today did not exist in 1959. It was all trees and fish and farms and white men that dominated the narrative. Virtually all other stories were either marginalized or unimagined. Oregon changed for the better in the 1970s, but Oregon in 1959 was much closer to 1900 than it was to 2000, and that's fascinating to consider when reading the poems of stories in the "Oregon Centennial Anthology" -- if you have an opportunity to read them. We're all so busy and rushed these days that I wanted to make it as easy as possible for everyone to read the "Oregon Centennial Anthology." I have scanned the pamphlet, which was printed at taxpayer expense and rests in the public domain, and created a PDF file of it that can be easily downloaded for free from my Web site (www.nestuccaspitpress.com). It's not quite the same as a handsome reprint, but this Oregon literary artifact has been lost long enough -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Nearly 500 attendees from five countries and 41 U.S. states participated in two days of thought-provoking, inspiring and practical presentations and workshops focused on established, emerging and merging areas of reference service. Conference presentations now are available, and a print collection of proceedings is scheduled to be published in 2009. Plans even now are underway for a 2010 conference. Participants across the board have raved about the variety and quality of the topics. From subjects as wide ranging as text and instant messaging services to marketing and merchandising tactics, predatory reference and new models and products, attendees chose from 36 sessions sorted into six tracks over the two-day conference. "The number and variety of sessions were excellent. We got so much out of two days!" commented one conference participant. Attendees also had the opportunity to attend product demos and meet with representatives from more than 20 vendors offering a wide range of products and services from reference databases to online tutoring to reference software. Strong support from sponsors RUSA, tutor.com, OCLC and others helped to make the conference possible. Coming from a broad cross-section of the library community including special, academic, public and school libraries, many participants appreciated the opportunity to network with their colleagues. Debbie Rossman, Westlake Porter Public Library (OH) reflected the feelings of many conference participants, saying "...this was absolutely the best conference I have ever attended. I feel recharged! Wonderful ideas and terrific enthusiasm." The keynote address, "Reference in the Age of Wikipedia, Or Not..." was presented by David W. Lewis, Dean of the University Library, Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis. He examined how libraries attempt to sustain innovation as related to existing values and processes of the organization and how, by watching what customers do, rather than asking them what they want, libraries can become more user-oriented. The Plenary Session Panel on the second day created the opportunity for participants to express many diverse opinions. Titled "Theory Meets Practice: Educators and Directors Talk," the panel presenters included R. David Lankes, Ph.D., Syracuse University; Jamie LaRue, Douglas County Libraries; Marie L. Radford, Ph.D., Rutgers University School of Communication, and Library Studies; and Carla J. Stoffle, Dean of Libraries and Center for Photography, University of Arizona. The discussion touched on the overwhelming need for organizations to budget for continuing education for their staff, as well as the need for good customer service skills along with repackaging information into forms that customers really want and will use. A very good overview of the session can be found on The Shiny Librarian blog .(http://shinylib.com/2008/08/06/plenary-panel-theory-meets-practice/) For anyone who was unable to get to all the sessions they wanted or would like more information, links to presentation materials are now available for download in the detailed schedule on the Reference Renaissance website. As one conference attendee pointed out, "...there were so many great sessions that they frequently competed with each other, so I had some tough decisions to make." In addition, all conference presenters have been invited to submit research papers and reports from the field. These will be peer reviewed for selection for print proceedings to be published by Neal-Schuman Publishers and edited by Marie L. Radford and R. David Lankes. Publication is scheduled for mid-2009. With the success of this year's conference, BCR has committed to sponsoring a second Reference Renaissance conference tentatively scheduled for August, 2010.

You have the opportunity to be one of the children's library staff selected in Gilliam, Hood River, Sherman, Wasco, and Wheeler Counties to receive training and resources. Children's library staff will attend two separate two-day RFHF training sessions and receive training in the evidence-based Every Child Ready to Read @ your libraryR, outreach to high-risk families, and special topics such as working with English language learners, conducting early literacy story times, and working with people with special needs. You will receive Early Literacy Resource kits full of wonderful materials. The first two- day training will be scheduled Thursday and Friday, November 20 and 21, in Hood River. After the training, each participating children's library staff will have the knowledge, skills, and materials to provide early literacy education, support, and resources to at least 15 families over the course of a year. Your library will be able to report this on their Public Library Statistics as "early literacy training", one of the three library youth services best practices identified by the Statewide Early Literacy Initiative. RFHF will foster partnerships between your library and Healthy Start programs in your county which will help children's library staff develop or expand library outreach services to high-risk families in your community. To download a copy of the Participant Application Packet, and to learn more about the many benefits RFHF can bring to you and to the families in your community, GO TO the RFHF website: http://www.oregon.gov/OSL/LD/youthsvcs/rfhf.home.page.shtml You must submit an application before Thursday, October 30, 2008 to be considered as there may be limited training spaces available. If you cannot meet the deadline, please let me know. If you have any questions please contact: Joann Contini, RFHF Project Coordinator at 503-761-2506 or joanncontini at comcast.net. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Meetings from then on will be the first Tuesday of the month at 7pm at the IPRC. We're very excited that they want to host our meetings and possibly collaborate with us in offering LIS workshops.

Reviews Not too long ago, as Oregon's sesquicentennial drew closer, I wondered: Was an anthology published for the state's centennial? Surely, I thought, such a book exists, even though I'd never encountered one in all my years of literary sleuthing across the state. With the help of a friend, I began an investigation, and soon received a letter in response to a phone message I'd left. I excerpt part of the letter here: Dear Matt: Thanks for the telephone call. The centennial anthology was Governor Hatfield's idea. He came to me, knowing something, I suppose, of my reputation. Why we turned the project into a contest, I don't recall. I have no idea how many copies the state printed. I put it together and sent it to Salem. And that was about it. How did you ever find it? Arthur Kreisman In 1959 the State of Oregon published the "Oregon Centennial Anthology: A Collection of Prize-winning Short Stories and Poems." The 64-page pamphlet was edited by Kreisman, an English professor at Southern Oregon College. The anthology contains six short stories and six poems and was the product of a contest open to college students and the general public. William Stafford, who later became Oregon's Poet Laureate, won both the open poetry and short story competitions. Winners received $250, second prize earned $200 and third place netted $150. I also learned that exactly 18 copies of the "Oregon Centennial Anthology" reside in libraries across the Pacific Northwest (although many of the copies cannot be checked out for general circulation), and there isn't one copy for sale, at least the last time I checked online. I may have obtained the last one, which is great for me, but terrible for Oregon literary and history junkies. In his excellent introduction to the anthology, Kreisman wrote, "One hundred years is not a very long time, as human history goes, and it is considerably less than that since Oregon was largely frontier country, a new land, opening its arms to new people who had come to build lives for themselves, and in the process built a state. The next hundred years will see such growth in Oregon as is undreamt of by most of us today." The message of the first Oregon Trail to America was: "Nature is here. A rich landscape. Go. Take it. It will last forever. Start your life over." When the state celebrated its centennial in 1959, the message was exactly the same and manifest, at least to me, in the "Oregon Centennial Anthology." What intrigued me after reading it (and watching the View-Master reels of Oregon's Centennial Exposition) was realizing that the modern Oregon we all know and love today did not exist in 1959. It was all trees and fish and farms and white men that dominated the narrative. Virtually all other stories were either marginalized or unimagined. Oregon changed for the better in the 1970s, but Oregon in 1959 was much closer to 1900 than it was to 2000, and that's fascinating to consider when reading the poems of stories in the "Oregon Centennial Anthology" -- if you have an opportunity to read them. We're all so busy and rushed these days that I wanted to make it as easy as possible for everyone to read the "Oregon Centennial Anthology." I have scanned the pamphlet, which was printed at taxpayer expense and rests in the public domain, and created a PDF file of it that can be easily downloaded for free from my Web site (www.nestuccaspitpress.com).

Message-ID: Hello All, Our library had a request for CDL (Commercial Driver's License) instructional materials on DVD. We're woefully unprepared for this question, as we have nothing in our system other than a VHS tape produced in 1991, (with several holds). Not being conversant with what's required to obtain a CDL, I tried looking for online offerings, but nearly all of what I found seems either quite specifically focused and/or stunningly expensive. A search of Worldcat shows many likely, more general offerings, but I don't see any of them for sale anywhere. Does anyone have recommendations or ideas on how we can fill this hole in our collection? Thank you!

They are used in assessing everything from jump shots to critical thinking. Rubrics are descriptive, so in addition to guiding assessment, they can assist students by giving clear, concise guidelines for levels of performance for learning goals. Come to this workshop to learn how librarians can put rubrics to work measuring information literacy in a variety of venues and programs. From one-shot class visits to program evaluation, rubrics are an assessment tool that can help direct your teaching. Creating a rubric with a faculty member or on a team can bring increased understanding of classroom goals as well. In this workshop you will build a rubric based on one of the ACRL information literacy standards and practice using it to assess student work. Workshop facilitators Sue Phelps and Linda Fredrickson, librarians at WSU Vancouver, have taught an expanded version of this workshop at an ACRL pre-conference and will be teaching again in Seattle. Come get the basics right here in Portland.

Several libraries and community organizations in Oregon have received The Big Read grant and had very successful programs--Woodburn Public Library, St. Helens Public Library, Milton-Freewater Public Library, Fishtrap, and the Clackamas County Arts Alliance. The following contains excerpts of a press release issued by the federal Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and the National Endowment for the Arts, announcing the application deadline for the Big Read Grants. The application deadline is February 3, 2009. Programming must be conducted between September 2009 and June 2010. View the full press release at: http://www.imls.gov/news/2008/102208a.shtm Washington, DC-The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), announces the fifth deadline for The Big Read. The purpose of The Big Read is to revitalize the role of literature in American popular culture. Grants ranging from $5,000 - $20,000 are available to encourage local communities to inspire reading by developing and carrying out programming revolving around a single work of literature. Programming must be conducted between September 2009 and June 2010. This will be the only application deadline in 2009. Big Read grants require the participation of a library as a lead applicant or a partner. IMLS strongly encourages museums of all types to apply as lead applicants or as partner organizations in The Big Read. Communities across the country have strengthened their Big Read projects by enlisting the support of art, science, history, and children's museums, as well as aquaria, arboreta, botanical gardens, nature centers, and zoos. The Request for Proposals can be downloaded at www.NEABigRead.org. The proposal deadline is February 3, 2009. Questions should be directed to Arts Midwest at 612-238-8010 or TheBigRead at artsmidwest.org. The Big Read is an initiative of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with the Institute of Museum and Library Services and in cooperation with Arts Midwest. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The timed reading records have 63 ovals--nine rows of seven across. The reading record folders are the same type of design as the last two years--there are lines down on the bottom for a book list and there are spaces above to color or sticker that can be used as a timed sheet or to fill in a spot as they finish a book. The bottom of the folder does fold up to make "pockets" to carry papers, etc. The mocked up one in the catalog has the fold looking a bit weird. It actually ends up looking just like a pocket folder.

Sager Oregon ALA Chapter Councilor -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [alacro-l] ALA Seeks $100 Million in Stimulus Funding As U.S. Libraries Face Critical Cutbacks, Closures Date: Wed, 29 Oct 2008 13:25:46 -0400 From: Don Wood Reply-To: alacro-l at ala.org To: *PRESS RELEASE* Washington - The American Library Association (ALA) is asking Congress for $100 million in stimulus funding to aid the nation?s working families during the current economic crisis. Aid is sought to stem the bleeding of critical library services that help Americans with job searches, small business development, financial literacy and other essential assistance in hard economic times. Public libraries are facing the most severe cutbacks in decades as budget shortfalls hit cities, towns and rural areas across the country, according to the association. From Los Angeles to Boston, libraries are cutting hours and services; some are even facing the threat of closure at a time when their support is needed most. ALA?s recommendation comes as Congress holds hearings this week on economic growth and job creation, including a Joint Economic Committee Hearing tomorrow. Public libraries depend heavily on local property taxes to maintain operations. Across the country increased foreclosure rates, lower home values and fewer sales have sharply reduced available funds, forcing libraries to cut services and hours. ?America?s free public libraries provide a lifeline for citizens in need across the country,? said ALA President Jim Rettig. ?Ensuring Internet access, career workshops, business seminars and other economic support services are vital links in the nation?s financial recovery. This is no time to cut much-needed support, reduce hours or close library doors.? Rettig pointed to a recent ALA study showing that 73 percent of all libraries nationwide provide the only free Internet access in their communities. In rural areas the rate rises to 83 percent, according to the 2007-2008 report on public library funding and technology access. Many libraries are reporting double-digit growth in computer use this year, he said. The National League of Cities recently estimated that a 3.6 percent decline in property tax revenues is likely to affect city budgets until 2010. In response to these budget shortfalls, libraries are being forced to cut back on hours or even close neighborhood branches. The Trenton, NJ, public library will close its four branches and lose about half of its 57 employees by Nov. 1. The city of Milwaukee is considering closing two of its 12 branch libraries. In Newton, MA, outside of Boston, four branch libraries closed this summer; four others in nearby areas also closed or are on the chopping block. Many cities are choosing between cutting staff and reducing hours. Others, such as Fort Worth, TX, are looking at both, with proposed cuts of more than 100 library jobs along with reduced hours. The city is facing an estimated annual shortfall of more than $20 million. Additionally, a number of communities are also facing shorter hours and fewer days of operation in Florida. ALA?s recommendation for stimulus funding seeks support for basic library services across the country as well as specialized assistance to help Americans deal with the current economic crisis. In particular, funds are being requested to: ? Expand critical employment activities and services such as resume development, job bank web searches and career planning workshops; ? Reinstate or supplement evening and weekend hours of operation at libraries to provide the greatest possible access to services; ? Promote financial literacy, housing counseling and small business development assistance; and ? Acquire additional resources and materials to help keep up with increased demand for economic services nationwide. Investments in libraries often yield high dividends for communities. Studies show economic returns from salaries and wages paid to staff, construction costs, employment services and library purchases. A recent Pennsylvania study points out that for every dollar invested in the public library, the community receives a return of $5.50. A similar report from Florida shows a $6.54 return on investment. ?Economic studies demonstrate the positive impact of spending in local communities,? said Joe Matthews, an internationally recognized expert on library management with an MBA degree from the University of California, Irvine. ?Known as the multiplier affect, every dollar spent in the community will ripple through the economy with an impact ranging from 7 to 11 times the initial spending,? he added. ?The proposed stimulus spending for America?s public libraries will have an enormous impact on local economies, helping communities across the country get back on track financially.? Matthews is an acclaimed author and professor at San Joe University. # # # To view this post in its entirety, please follow the link below: http://www.wo.ala.org/districtdispatch/?p=996 Best regards, W.

Diane's transcript is online at http://www.oregonlibraries.net/notable. Diane works with a patron who is researching New Jersey history and memorabilia. She skillfully guides him to resources that he had been unable to find on his own. The L-net Quality Team is impressed with Diane's talent for finding answers, as well as how enjoyable she makes the interaction. Many of our patrons want more than an answer to reference questions - they want to feel a connection with the librarian. Diane does a great job of establishing a positive rapport that lets the patron know she is interested and happy to help. The patron is eager to share his enthusiasm for his subject because he senses Diane's enthusiasm for leading him to the information that he needs. Diane also does a nice job describing the national service L-net provides through the Cooperative. Thanks, Diane! As an expression of appreciation, Diane was presented with flowers and a certificate. Please join us in congratulating her!

The space on the third floor, formerly devoted to classrooms and computer labs, is being remodeled to accommodate Library staff. The moves were made necessary by the Labor Day weekend fire at the State Capitol that caused extensive smoke and water damage to the Governor's offices. The Governor's staff have moved temporarily to a state building several blocks away from the Capitol. Moving to the Library will put the Governor and his staff in closer proximity to the Capitol while decisions are made about how to address the damage caused by the fire. Several different plans will be considered by the Legislature to either move the Governor's staff back to the Capitol or possibly into a new Executive Office Building. In the meantime the Governor and his staff will be located at the State Library for at least a year and possibly longer. OREGON READS BOOKS AVAILABLE FROM TBABS Oregon Reads 2009 is just around the corner and Talking Book and Braille Services is doing its part to have accessible books in the hands of our registered patrons. In October, TBABS notified patrons and interested parties around the state that all three books (Stubborn Twig, Bat 6, Apples to Oregon) would be available in 4-track cassette and Braille. This month we plan to order copies to satisfy the nearly 700 requests we received. Because it is a picture book, Apples to Oregon will be available in a beautiful, Twin Vision Braille format that allows sighted readers and Braille readers to read together. There will be limited copies available for general loan to libraries and schools. The book will be available through the State Library catalog and should be ready by mid-December. For more information, contact Elke Bruton in TBABS. INTRODUCING JENNIFER MAURER, SCHOOL LIBRARY CONSULTANT In mid-October, Jennifer Maurer joined the Library Development team as full-time School Library Consultant. She began her career as an elementary teacher in El Paso, Texas. After six years in the classroom, she took a leave of absence and attended Texas Woman's University where she earned her School Library Certificate and Master of Library Science degree. After three years as a school librarian in Texas Jennifer moved to the Portland area. Here in Oregon she was a library media specialist for three years before budget cuts led her into the public library world at the Salem Public Library. Jennifer hopes to cultivate relationships with key players in the Oregon library and education community as she works to provide training, support, and promotion for OSLIS 2.0. Other Library News DEADLINE FOR PICTURING AMERICA EXTENDED UNTIL NOVEMBER 14TH Libraries and schools now have until November 14, 2008, to apply for an innovative, free teaching tool called Picturing America. Picturing America, presented by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) in partnership with the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), provides high-quality reproductions of great American art to public libraries and K-12 schools to enhance the study of history, social studies, language arts, literature, and civics. Public libraries; K-12 public, private, parochial, and charter schools; and home school consortia in the United States and its territories are eligible to receive Picturing America materials, which include: Forty large, high-quality color reproductions of the selected masterpieces (24" x 36") A comprehensive teacher's resource book providing a wide range of ideas and background information to support educators using the works of art in core subject areas. Lesson plans and additional resources available through the Picturing America website. Applications are being accepted now through November 14, 2008, with delivery scheduled for spring 2009. Previous recipients of the Picturing America collection are not eligible for a second award. Application information and testimonials from librarians and educators can be found on the Picturing America website. CENTRAL LIBRARY GETS AN ECO-ROOF The Multnomah County Library Central Library became the first library in Oregon to sport an "eco-roof." The roof of the library now has 17,000 plants covering 7,188 square feet. Included are sedums and drought-tolerant grasses. The $180,000 cost of the eco-roof project was largely supported by grants from the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality and the Green Investment Fund. The Library expects the new roof to reduce energy costs 6 to 8% in the summer and 50% in the winter and to also reduce rainwater runoff by 70%. The plants will also extend the life of the roof. "If anyone's looking at it from a bottom-line perspective, it definitely pays off," said Multnomah County Chair Ted Wheeler. The Library will offer weekly tours of the eco-roof to the public. P.S. (From the State Librarian) How is it that Oregon public libraries check out more books and other library materials per capita than public libraries in any other state except Ohio? Oregon has held on to the #2 ranking since 2001. When national public library statistics were first reported by the National Center for Education Statistics in 1989, Oregon ranked #9, but since that time we have steadily ascended to the #2 spot, passing up states like Washington, Indiana, Maryland, and Minnesota. We have known for a long time that demographics are a good predictor of public library circulation. States with comparatively higher education and income levels tend to see more public library use. But demographics aren't everything. I think that a major factor in Oregon's preeminence in public library quality and performance has a lot to do with a generation of outstanding leaders. These were library directors who saw the potential for Oregon to have some of the best public libraries in the country, directors who were not content with the status quo, but who had a vision for something much better. This was a generation of what you might call transformational leaders who inspired their communities and their staffs to share their vision. At the risk of offending some of you, I will now name names. These are the transformational public library leaders of the recent past who spring to mind: George Happ, Sarah Long, Ginnie Cooper, Deborah Jacobs, Aletha Bonebrake, Ronnie Budge. I will be able to add another name to this list when Michael Gaston retires from the Deschutes Public Library in a couple months. Michael should be remembered in Oregon library history as the librarian who pioneered library taxing districts and used this method of public library funding and governance to greatest advantage. Soon after Oregon's first library district law passed in 1981, Michael set about to transform the Florence Public Library into the Siuslaw Public Library District, thereby creating a model for how library districts can be the answer to dramatically improving public library quality and performance. A decade ago, in 1998, he did it again, this time on a larger scale, transforming the Deschutes County Library into the Deschutes Public Library District. If you go to either of these libraries today, you will see great facilities, wonderful collections, cutting edge library technology, outstanding youth services, and communities that love and value their libraries as an "essential service" that they are happy to pay for. If you want to find out about how Michael did it, just ask him. One of Michael's greatest virtues has always been his willingness to share what he has learned with his professional colleagues. It has been one of the privileges of my career in Oregon to have enjoyed a close working relationship with Michael. He has been one of my greatest teachers on the subject of how public libraries can thrive through good times and bad. Thanks, Michael, for all you have done to set a high standard for outstanding library leadership in Oregon. - Jim Scheppke Contacts at the Oregon State Library Technical Assistance: 503-932-1004.
