For the first time, Intentional Teacher and Assessment tracks will be offered simultaneously in late fall 2009. This new schedule blends Immersion programs with similar formats and lengths to offer a more cohesive Immersion experience. It also allows Teacher and Program graduates to continue their experience by applying for Assessment or Intentional Teacher programs to be held in the fall. Applications are being accepted for Immersion Assessment and Intentional Teacher tracks. May 29, 2009, is the deadline to apply. ASSESSMENT TRACK. This program is intended for experienced academic librarians (5+ years teaching experience) active in teaching and learning and those with leadership roles for information literacy (IL) program development who want to improve their knowledge and practice of both classroom and program assessment. This program will approach assessment from a learning-centered perspective; participants will emerge with a broader understanding of assessment and how to use assessment as an important tool to guide evidence-based classroom, curriculum, and program development. Participants will develop a plan for their assessment activities that will form the basis for future engagement with these issues both individually and as a leader of IL initiatives at their institutions. INTENTIONAL TEACHER TRACK. This program is aimed at the experienced academic librarian (5+ years teaching experience, in a library or other setting) who wants to become more self-aware and self-directed as a teacher. This program facilitates the process of critical reflection through peer discussion, readings, and personal reflection as a pathway to professional growth and renewal. The program offers a mixture of structured and co-constructed learning segments, such as peer discussions, individual reading and reflection times, and participant-led communities of practice.

The Board will take up the request at their meeting on April 20th at the State Library in Salem. The $10,000 in planning funds requested by OLA would match $5,000 already appropriated by OLA for the new planning process led by Teresa Landers of Corvallis. The Board contributed to earlier planning efforts that produced the Vision 2000 and Vision 2010 plans. The Board will also hear recommendations from the Talking Book and Braille Services Advisory Council to spend interest from the TBABS Endowment Fund to help jumpstart the digital talking book program later this year. The Library of Congress will provide the new players, but a very limited number of new digital books. The major cost for TBABS will be to purchase the blank cartridges that TBABS will use to make copies of books from the NLS database of digital talking books. In other business, the Board will look at a revision to the Library's budget reduction plans requested by the Legislative Fiscal Office. They will also hear a briefing on the 2008 Quality Education Model School Libraries Report. An Open Forum will be held at 2 p.m. where anyone may address the Board on any topic. State Library News LIBRARY SERVICES AND TECHNOLOGY ACT GUIDELINES AVAILABLE FOR FFY2010 GRANT CYCLE Devising a digitization project? Opening an outreach project? The LSTA competitive grant program may be for you. Take a look at the grant guidelines through the LSTA Competitive Grant Program page. A brief three page proposal is due April 10, so apply now. For more information on Oregon's LSTA program, see the Oregon's LSTA Program page. Feel free to check out the proposals from past years, as there may be a project you wish to replicate! We welcome calls to talk over grant ideas, or find out about similar grants that may have been made in previous years. Contact Ann Reed at (503) 378-5027. OREGON 150 BOOKS IN ACCESSIBLE FORMATS Talking Book and Braille Services has more than 60 of the State Library's Oregon 150 sesquicentennial book list available in accessible formats. These formats include 4-track cassette, digital download, and Braille. For more information on the titles available and how to check them out, visit the TBABS Sesquicentennial website. These books are ready for checkout to registered individual and institutional accounts. Most titles are available for immediate check out, but some will require a short wait as they are ordered from other regional talking book libraries. Call TBABS at 503-378-5389 or 800-452-0292 for more information. 2008 QEM & SCHOOL LIBRARIES REPORT AVAILABLE The 2008 Quality Education Model (QEM) final report is now posted on the School Library Services section of the State Library web page. At the request of the School Library Consultant, a contact at the Oregon Department of Education creates a school library staffing and materials expenditures report which is generated from data that school districts submit to the state annually. The Consultant compares this information to the staffing and materials expenditures standards set by the Quality Education Commission to determine which schools had libraries that met QEM. For the 2006-07 school year, 46 of 1,263 schools, or 3.64%, met those standards. That is a drop of 15 schools from last year's results. Beaverton, Neah-Kah-Nie, and Woodburn school districts had a high proportion of their school libraries that met QEM. Hopefully this information, when presented with research that shows the positive impact school librarians make on student learning, will help interested parties make a case for strong school library programs in their districts. For a list of schools that met QEM, see Appendix A in the report. Contact Jennifer Maurer or call 503-378-5011 for more information. Other Library News CENTRAL LIBRARY NAMED PORTLAND'S FAVORITE BUILDING To honor Oregon's sesquicentennial, the Bosco-Milligan Foundation conducted a poll to determine the 150 Most Favorite Buildings in Portland. Getting the most votes, not surprisingly, was the Central Library, a building beloved by generations of Portlanders since it was built in 1913. The Georgian-style building was designed by A.E. Doyle who also designed the second most favorite building, the old U.S. Bank Building, built in 1916. In the early 1990s the Central Library saw extensive renovations and improvements to bring it up to the standards of a modern library. In the past it has been reported that the Central Library gets more annual foot traffic than any other building in the state, including the Rose Garden. OREGON POET HONORED BY LIBRARY OF CONGRESS Mary Szybist, an assistant professor of English at Lewis and Clark College, was selected by U.S. Poet Laureate Kay Ryan to receive a Witter Bynner Fellowship from the Library of Congress. Szybist was only one of two poets selected for the honor nationwide. She will receive a $10,000 fellowship, and she gave a reading at the Library of Congress in February. She plans to give another reading this fall at Lewis and Clark College that will be sponsored by the Center for the Book at the Library of Congress and the Oregon Center of the Book at the State Library. Szybist is the author of Granted (2003) which was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle award.

FREE HEALTH REFERENCE TRAINING "An Ounce of Prevention: Health Reference Basics" will be broadcast on April 16 from 9:00 am - 10:30 am. This webcast is part of the Soaring to Excellence 2009 - Back to Basics training series. Staff from Oregon libraries may participate in this webcast at no charge. This training series is a staff development opportunity in the best sense of the term. It gives staff a solid framework for problem-solving in today's complex library environment and they are cost-effective ways for staff to stay current and informed on libraries' use of technology. You and your staff can maximize these opportunities by bringing a group of interested staff together to watch; organize discussions about the impact of the shows' content on your library; call, fax, or email questions to the panelists during the program-it's interactive! And, follow up with a discussion on what next steps your library can take. For more information go to BCR. These webcasts are made available through the Bibliographic Center for Research (BCR) and the College of DuPage. BCR membership for all Oregon libraries is paid for through the Oregon State Library with LSTA funds. DVDs of this webcast and previous webcasts are available via ILL from the Oregon State Library. PENDLETON PUBLIC LIBRARY RECEIVES NATIONAL GRANT The International City/County Management Association announced grant awards of $500,000 to nine cities, towns, and counties to support new projects developed by local governments that utilize public libraries to address critical local needs and provide services that strengthen their communities. The Public Library Innovation Grants are funded through ICMA's partnership with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The Pendleton Public Library Wired for Safety project will ride the crest of increased teen energy in the library and throughout the community. Using a mix of technology (a city-wide wireless network and other enhancements) and expanded services (programs for teens and community safety involvement programs), the project will partner the strength and security of local law enforcement with the empowering culture of the public library to create an environment for accessing information that is comfortable and welcoming for a diverse demographic mix of citizens. The project will pool both human and financial resources from the City of Pendleton police department, public library, facilities department, and additional grant funds to achieve the goals of the project. P.S. (From the State Librarian) The book world saw its own version of March Madness last month as the two e-book giants, Amazon and Sony, went head to head. Amazon took an early lead in the contest by announcing the Kindle 2, a great improvement over the original Kindle e-book reader. Not only does it have a much better design, but it can read to you with what I find to be a very listenable synthesized voice (check out Jeff Bezos' demo). It also keeps your place in the book or newspaper or magazine so you can combine reading and listening, something car commuters will appreciate, I'm sure. Amazon already led Sony in the number of books available in its e-book store (240,000 versus less than 100,000), but that was about to change. In basketball, when you're behind, it sometimes helps to bring in a big man. Think Shaq or the Trail Blazers' Greg Oden. On March 18th, Sony brought in a big man. Google. Sony announced a deal with Google that would make about a half million pre-1923 public domain books that Google has digitized available for free from the Sony Reader store. With that announcement their inventory instantly became twice as big as Amazon's. Never mind that most of these public domain books will be unappealing to the average reader. Sony is hoping that consumers will opt for their Reader over the Kindle based on the size of their inventory and the availability of free books. And this might just be the first manifestation of an ongoing business relationship between Google and Sony that could eventually bring hundreds of thousands of in-copyright but out-of-print books to the Sony store, as Google implements the settlement it reached with two publishers associations last fall. The settlement allows Google to sell access to these more recent books, so long as it shares the proceeds with publishers and authors. These books, collectively, have much greater sales potential than the public domain books. They won't be free. And where does this leave libraries? Well the irony, of course, is that the 500,000 public domain titles that Google is making available to Sony (for an undisclosed price) came from the academic research libraries that partnered with Google several years ago. So will the next batch of in-copyright books, if Sony manages to get them as well. And for now, libraries are left on the outside looking in. Both the Amazon Kindle and the Sony Reader are proprietary devices that have little practical application in libraries, given their cost of ownership and restrictions on their use. Maybe it's time that libraries band together and develop an affordable e-book reader that we can begin to build our own post-Gutenberg business around. And while we are at it, we can quit giving away our assets, and possibly our future, to giant corporations. - Jim Scheppke Contacts at the Oregon State Library Technical Assistance: 503-932-1004.

Join us at the University of Oregon?s Knight Library for a pair of free workshops designed to make you more effective users of two of the most important Census data programs: the Decennial Census (including the American Community Survey, or ACS), and the Economic Census and Surveys. Both are timely topics--the 2010 Decennial Census is only a year away, and the 2007 Economic Census data are just now being released. These sessions will include generous amounts of time for directed hands-on practice. See a description of topics at the end of this message. *Linda Clark*, Information Services Specialist with the Seattle Regional Census Center, will conduct the morning session (9:00 to noon) on the *Decennial Census/ACS* on Wednesday, *April 15*, with a repeat session at 9:00 the following day, Thursday, *April 16*. In the afternoons of both days (1:30 to 3:30) she will teach a workshop on the *Economic Census* and associated surveys. You are welcome to register for single sessions, or come for the whole day and take in both components. All sessions will be held in the Knight Library?s Edmiston Classroom, Room 144. Pre-registration is necessary, due to seating limitations. To register for one or more sessions, please email Tiffany Van Pelt at tambiel at uoregon.edu, or call (541) 346-3056.

If they have signed on please send them a thank-you note. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Kristin Murphy, American Library Association Date: Fri, Apr 3, 2009 at 11:57 AM Subject: Action Needed: Contact your Representative regarding Lead in Children's Books! To: Diedre Conkling *Action Alert: Ask your Representative to Sign Rep. Fortenberry's Dear Colleague on Lead in Children's Books!* Take Action! As you know, Congress passed legislation titled "The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008" last August. This legislation seeks to decrease the levels of lead and phthalates in products intended for children 12 years of age or younger and is enforced by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). This legislation was misinterpreted by the CPSC to include books. Thankfully, U.S. Rep. Jeff Fortenberry (R-Neb.) recently introduced legislation to amend the CPSIA to exempt ordinary books from the lead limits within the bill. This legislation specifically exempts books and would ensure that children can continue to have access to safe, educational and entertaining reading materials. Mr. Fortenberry cannot drive this legislation alone; he needs our help to ensure that his colleagues understand books are indeed a safe product, but our children's access to them is threatened because of the CPSC's current interpretation. *Action Needed:* In order to gain the attention this legislation deserves, please call or write your Representatives and ask them to cosponsor H.R. 1692. Time is of the essence; we have less than 11 months before the new implementation date arrives, and it is critical that we convince as many Members as possible to sign onto this legislation. Without our advocacy, this legislation will not move forward! *Background:* Currently, books are considered an unregulated product. This means they are generally considered safe and are not subject to the same rules and regulations as toys and other objects on the U.S. market. Under the new interpretation of the CPSIA, books would be subject to the same testing standards as children's toys and clothing. Very few recalls have actually involved books; in fact, the recalls surrounding books have not happened because of the books themselves but rather the toys that were attached to the books that were considered potential choking hazards. In spite of this information, the standard hardcover and paperback books would be subject to the same testing standards as children's toys under the new legislation. Publishers have tested the components of books and found that the levels of lead in children's books were far below the future legal requirements at the full implementation of the regulations three years from now. However, the advisory opinion from the CPSC says that not only must the testing be done by one of their certified labs but that this legislation also is retroactive, and every book currently in use must be tested. This situation will become even more complicated because the CPSC has not certified any labs to administer the lead testing. At this point, the CPSC has issued a one-year stay in implementation - meaning, the legislation will not be implemented until February 10, 2010. However, the CPSC has indicated that they will not permanently exclude books without some sort of clear Congressional action. *Talking points on H.R. 1692:* - Though the CPSC has interpreted the act to include ordinary books, Congress did not intend for them to be included. - This legislation would exempt ordinary books only - books that are published on paper of cardboard, printed by conventional publishing methods, intended to be read, and lacking inherent play value. - Testing has shown that finished books and their component materials contain total lead content at levels considered non-detectable. - The Center for Disease Control and Prevention has determined that there is little risk to children from lead in ordinary books. - Libraries are grateful for this bill since it is proven that reading books is critical to child development, and libraries would like to continue to provide this service without the threat of regulation that would unnecessary and expensive testing.

The Libri Foundation is a nationwide non-profit organization which donates new, quality, hardcover children's books to small, rural public libraries throughout the United States. Since October 1990, the Foundation has donated over $3,600,000 worth of new children?s books to more than 2,500 libraries in 49 states, including Alaska and Hawaii. In order to encourage and reward local support of libraries, The Libri Foundation will match any amount of money raised by your local sponsors from $50 to $350 on a 2-to-1 ratio. Thus, a library can receive up to $1,050 worth of new children's books. After a library receives a grant, local sponsors (such as formal or informal Friends groups, civic or social organizations, local businesses, etc.) have four months, or longer if necessary, to raise their matching funds. The librarian of each participating library selects the books her library will receive from a booklist provided by the Foundation. The 700-plus fiction and nonfiction titles on the booklist reflect the very best of children's literature published primarily in the last three years. These titles, which are for children ages 12 and under, are award-winners or have received starred reviews in library, literary, or education journals. The booklist also includes a selection of classic children?s titles. Libraries are qualified on an individual basis. In general, county libraries should serve a population under 16,000 and town libraries should serve a population under 10,000 (usually under 5,000). Libraries should be in a rural area, have a limited operating budget, and an active children's department. Please note: Rural is usually considered to be at least 30 miles from a city with a population over 40,000. Town libraries with total operating budgets over $150,000 and county libraries with total operating budgets over $350,000 are rarely given grants. Applications are accepted from independent libraries as well as libraries which are part of a county, regional, or cooperative library system. A school library may apply only if it also serves as the public library (i.e. it is open to the everyone in the community, has some summer hours, and there is no public library in town). A branch library may apply if the community it is in meets the definition of rural. If the branch library receives its funding from its parent institution, then the parent institution?s total operating budget, not just the branch library?s total operating budget, must meet the budget guidelines. Previous BOOKS FOR CHILDREN grant recipients are eligible to apply for another grant three years after the receipt of their last grant. Libraries that do not fulfill all grant requirements, including the final report, may not apply for another grant. Application guidelines and forms may be downloaded from the Foundation's website at: www.librifoundation.org. For more information about The Libri Foundation or its Books for Children program, please contact Ms. Barbara J. McKillip, President, The Libri Foundation, PO Box 10246, Eugene, OR 97440. 541-747-9655 (phone); 541-747-4348 (fax); libri at librifoundation.org (email).

Erin McCaffrey, Digital Systems Librarian at Regis University, will introduce academic program review, discuss what is involved in putting together a program review for an academic library and questions to consider in working through the program review process. Institutional program review guidelines often list the library as a resource for departments undergoing review. However, more academic libraries are being included in their institution's review cycle and asked to undergo program review themselves. This session will introduce academic program review; discuss what is involved in putting together a program review for an academic library; and present questions to consider in working through the program review process. *Presenter: *Erin McCaffrey *Registration fees: *ACRL member: $50 ALA member: $75 CACUL member: Can$90 (charges will be made in U.S. dollars) Nonmember: $90 Student: $40 Group*: $295 For more details and a link to register for this event online, please visit the course page at http://www.acrl.org/ala/mgrps/divs/acrl/events/elearning/courses/programreview.cfm. *From Encounters to Experiences: Using Design Thinking to Create a User Experience* Live Webcast April 23, 2009 11 a.m Pacific | 12:00 p.m. Mountain | 1:00 p.m. Central | 2:00 p.m. Eastern *Workshop Description:* Convenient. Simple. Unexpected. Impressive. The Age of User Experience has forever altered the expectations of American consumers, especially the millennial generation that constitutes a majority of the academic library's user base. To successfully reach and engage the user community academic librarians must master the art of adaptability. Good customer service is and will remain important, but may be insufficient to meet rapidly shifting user expectations. Many organizations are learning they must go beyond traditional customer service into the new realm of user experience design. Doing so requires new skills and a willingness to evolve professionally. In this online workshop attendees will learn how design thinking, rooted in the methods designers use to find problems and identify appropriate solutions, may be used to create user experiences that deliver meaning to individuals. Steven Bell, co-author of Academic Librarianship by Design and lead blogger at Designing Better Libraries, will introduce design thinking as a strategy to transform routine encounters into memorable experiences that exceed user expectations. *Webcast Presenter:* Steven J.

Since 2003, the Department of Justice has used its expanded power under the Patriot Act to issue more than 200 secret search orders under Section 215 and more than 190,000 National Security Letters (NSLs). Despite several efforts to reform the Patriot Act, the FBI can still search any records it believes are ?relevant? to a terrorism investigation, including the records of people who are not suspected of criminal conduct. Because Patriot Act orders bar recipients from revealing their existence, it is impossible to know how many have been served on bookstores and libraries. However, in a memo to Congress released today, the Campaign for Reader Privacy observed that there have been at least three significant and disturbing attempts to obtain records from libraries since 2003. In 2004, the FBI issued a subpoena to a library in rural Washington State demanding a list of patrons who had checked out a biography of Osama bin Laden. It sent NSLs to libraries seeking Internet records for two people in 2005 and 2007. All three of the orders were withdrawn after they were challenged by librarians. The broad authority granted to the FBI by the Patriot Act represents a serious threat to intellectual freedom. An essential part of the First Amendment?s guarantee of freedom of speech is the freedom to explore ideas and seek information without fear of government scrutiny. But the Patriot Act weakened the confidentiality protections for these records and raised fears that the FBI could circumvent constitutional checks on searches. This danger has been confirmed by the Inspector General of the Justice Department. In a 2008 report to Congress, the Inspector General said that in one case the FBI had done an end-run around the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance (FISA) Court after the court had denied approval for a search that threatened the First Amendment rights of the target. Twice refused a Section 215 order by the court, the FBI used its authority to issue an NSL without court approval for the same information, an action that was criticized by the Inspector General. Section 215, which has already been extended once, is scheduled to expire at the end of the year. However, Republicans in the House of Representative have introduced legislation extending it and two other Patriot Act provisions for another 10 years. FBI Director Robert Mueller recently called on Congress to extend the three expiring provisions. The Campaign for Reader Privacy does not oppose the extension of Section 215, *per se*, but seeks to exempt bookstore and library records from its provisions. Without Section 215, the government would be required to seek a grand jury subpoena for such records. The Campaign also supports legislation that would restrict the use of Section 215 orders and NSLs to searches targeting suspected terrorists or people who are known to them. Senator Russ Feingold (D-WI) and Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) introduced this legislation in the previous Congress. Nadler reintroduced the National Security Letters Reform Act (H.R. 1800) on March 30, and Feingold is expected to introduce a bill later. The Campaign?s Congressional memo, ?Restoring the Safeguards for Reader Privacy,? is available online at http://readerprivacy.org/news.jsp?id=33. *************************************************************** Rebecca L.

ALA Council Candidates - 2009 For a few years now I have been putting together a list of ALA Council candidates for the SRRT Feminist Task Force (FTF) and shared it with others -- here it is again. The list is based on the affiliations candidates put in their statements. This is not an endorsement of any candidates. This list includes candidates who state that they are members of FTF, SRRT, ACRL WSS, COSWL, GLBTRT, REFORMA, CALA, BCALA, APALA, and AILA. I may have missed some of the candidates because my eyes blurred a bit scanning the statements and the many acronyms. If I left you or someone else who should have been on this list off please let me know and I will send out an updated list in the very near future. Please read the candidates statements before voting so that you will know more about them and will really be voting for someone that you want to serve on ALA Council. You do not need to vote for 34 people. In fact, your vote is stronger if you only vote for a few people; those that you really want to serve on ALA Council. ALA Council Candidates Rose Albritton: BCALA Jose Aponte: REFORMA Mario A. Ascencio: REFORMA, GLBTRT Valerie Bell: BCALA Thaddeus P. Bejnar: APALA, REFORMA Bart Birdsall: GLBTRT Brett Bonfield: SRRT Michael Golrick: BCALA Mario M.

At that meeting 260 members contributed to a lively discussion of "What the new President and administration need to know about libraries." On March 18^th , we sent the attached letter to the President, summarizing the many excellent points made by members at the Town Hall Meeting. I want to personally express my appreciation to those members who took the time to attend, and for their many thoughtful comments. It was a particularly stimulating discussion. I would also like to thank the Membership Meeting Committee and the Executive Board for their initiative in making the meeting happen. Last, I would also like to encourage all members, whether or not you were able to join us at that meeting, to get involved in our efforts to secure increased federal support for libraries. Just this last year, we were able to get the EPA libraries reopened, to get legislation introduced that would require school librarians in all schools, and to secure support for increased funding for the Library Services and Technology Act. Our voice is being heard, and your individual efforts do make a difference. To join us in our efforts to increase federal support for libraries, visit http://capwiz.com/ala/home/..

In alphabetical order, the finalists are: 1. Holly Carroll, currently deputy director, Cleveland Public Library, Ohio 2. Christian Kruse, currently director, Live Oak Public Libraries, Savannah, Georgia 3. Vailey Oehlke, currently deputy director, Multnomah County Library The three finalists will be involved in two days of tours and interviews on April 13 and 14. A public forum will be held on Tuesday, April 14, at 1:30 p.m. at the Multnomah County Boardroom, 501 SE Hawthorne Boulevard. Each candidate will make a presentation followed by a question and answer session. The public is invited to attend. The process for hiring a new library director began in February after Library Director Molly Raphael announced her retirement, effective May 1. Jana McLellan, Multnomah County chief operating officer, has been leading a nationwide recruitment process. Multnomah County Library's national reputation has helped generate strong interest and a field of exceptional candidates. The Multnomah County library director leads a staff of 568 employees and manages a budget of $60 million. The facilities include the Central Library, 16 neighborhood libraries, and two new libraries scheduled to open in early 2010 in the Kenton neighborhood and the city of Troutdale. Multnomah County Library was visited by 4.7 million people last year and total circulation of library books and materials topped 20 million. # # # -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Advisor, author and public servant, she was a remarkable leader in the struggle to educate the public concerning the right to the free expression of ideas. Judy was an inspiration to all who knew her. She was the Executive Director of the Freedom to Read Foundation and Director of the Office for Intellectual Freedom of the American Library Association for over forty years. She worked tirelessly to guarantee the rights of individuals to express ideas and read the ideas of others without governmental interference. Through her unwavering support of writers, teachers, librarians, and above all, students, she has advised countless numbers of librarians and trustees in dealing with challenges to library material. She has been involved in multiple First Amendment cases that have gone all the way to the United States Supreme Court. In addition, she was the founder of Banned Books Week, an annual week-long event that celebrates the freedom to choose and the freedom to express one's opinion. During a time in our nation's history when an individual's rights to access information are constantly under attack, she worked to ensure the public's right to know through traditional means, as well as through the Internet. Her legacy is a lifetime of passionate commitment, advocacy, and affirmative actions to protect the Constitutional rights of citizens granted under the First Amendment. Recipient of countless awards and offices including: the Joseph P. Lippincott Award, the Irita Van Doren Award, the Harry Kalven Freedom of Expression Award, and most recently the William J. Brennen, Jr. award, from the Thomas Jefferson Center for Free Expression. In July, she will be honored by the Freedom to Read Foundation for her years of vision and leadership. In addition, she served as a senator and Vice President of the Phi Beta Kappa society. Born in Pittsburgh, Judith graduated from the University of Pittsburgh and received a Masters degree from the University of Chicago and a PhD from the University of Illinois. She is survived by her husband Herbert and her loving children Steven (Denise) of Northbrook, and Michelle (David) Litchman of Glencoe and five adoring grandchildren: Jessica, Sydney, Hannah, Rachel and Jason. Additionally, she is survived by her brothers, Jay (Ilene) Fingeret and Dr. Arnold (Denise) Fingeret of Pittsburgh PA, and her sister and brother-in-law, Shirley and Dr. Howard Katzman of Miami, FL. She was preceded in death by her sister Susan (Steve) Pavsner of Bethesda MD.

The Books for China Project has collected 104 boxes of books to ship to China this coming fall, about 10% of our 1000 box goal. Keep those boxes coming!

We have an opportunity to ship much-needed English language books to China in a special arrangement coordinated by the Oregon State Library and the Oregon Library Association's International Relations Round Table. It is extremely difficult for Chinese libraries to purchase English language books. Without an import license, they cannot buy books directly from overseas sources; they cannot freely convert Chinese Yuan to foreign currency to pay foreign vendors; and the value of Chinese Yuan is many times less than U.S. dollars. Academic libraries in China would like to fill gaps in their collections with American publications, but many titles are out-of-print. Public libraries would like to support English-language learning in children and young adults, yet cannot buy the desired books from overseas. With help from you and the Books-For-China Fund in New York, we can have a positive impact on the situation with very little expense to Oregon libraries. Our goal is to fill a shipping container with good condition, quality books in the areas of science and technology, humanities and social sciences (titles older than 5 years in these areas are still okay), and books for children and young adults. Public libraries are encouraged to send fiction materials as well as nonfiction that is not outdated even though it is not considered to be "academic" level material. Books may be gathered from sources other than libraries (personal collections, book sale donations, etc.). Multiple copies are fine, but please do not use this project for advocacy of any particular agenda (political, religious, etc.). Please also understand that Chinese libraries are much more conservative in the materials they collect so we ask that you not donate books that include sexually graphic text or images. Also, please do not send outdated software manuals or materials of an ephemeral nature. The books will be shipped later this year, and distributed to academic and public libraries throughout Fujian. The Oregon State Library (OSL) is the Books-for-China collection site. If your library has access to a van or truck, please transport your books to OSL yourself if possible. You may deliver books to OSL Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. (Please call ahead if you are delivering a large shipment.) For questions about delivering books to OSL, please call Joel Henderson at OSL, 503-378-2814. You may also ship books to: Oregon State Library Books-for-China Project 250 Winter Street NE Salem, OR 97301-3950 You may also send small shipments through the Orbis Cascade Alliance Courier. Please limit boxes to 1 cubic foot (such as a 19x15x6 standard Baker & Taylor box) and 35 pounds if shipping via the courier. (If delivering books on your own, boxes may be larger, but please not heavier.) There are also limits on the number of boxes you can ship by the courier, so please contact Teresa Landers, Corvallis-Benton County Public Library, 541-766-6995 if you want to use this method. Please help us reach our goal of sending 1,000 boxes. If every small library in the state sent 4 boxes, every medium-sized library 6 boxes, and large libraries 15 boxes, we would fill the container! Thank you for being part of this exciting international goodwill opportunity. Sincerely, Jim Scheppke State Librarian -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The American Library Association (ALA) today submitted commentsto the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) and the Rural Utilities Service (RUS), defining the position of libraries on the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act?s (ARRA) Broadband Technology Opportunities Program (BTOP) and the RUS program. ?The ARRA presents an unprecedented opportunity for libraries to achieve high-speed broadband connectivity, and our comments firmly establish libraries as a central player in the programs? goal to make the opportunities of broadband connectivity available to all Americans,? Alan Inouye, director of the ALA Office for Information Technology Policy (OITP), said. America?s libraries ? over 100,000 strong ? need high-speed broadband to help community residents conduct job searches, develop their careers, complete school homework and research, support small business creation and development, use online government resources, and perform many other facets of daily life. Unfortunately, high-speed broadband is often lacking in the nation?s libraries, which is the primary source for no-fee Internet access. Thus, the broadband initiatives of the ARRA represent an extraordinary opportunity to provide the necessary high-speed broadband to America?s libraries and other key community service organizations, in rural, suburban and urban locales. The comments underscore the essential role that libraries play as the premier public computing center and as information hubs in their communities, while also making a compelling case for a nationwide ?fiber to the library.? Additional points asserted in ALA?s comments include the following: - State priorities deserve some deference, but NTIA should also allow funding for multi-state applications, some in-state applications exclusive of a state?s strategy and national-level applications - Most libraries have significant ?financial need.? The 20 percent match will be a major challenge for most libraries, given the severe economic downturn, and so accommodations are necessary. - Libraries should be included in broadband mapping, and grant recipients should be required to include community service organizations in mapping efforts. -- Diedre Conkling diedre08 at gmail.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Tamura is on the faculty of the School of Education at Willamette University and is one of three co-editors in chief of The Oregon Encyclopedia, (www.oregonencyclopedia.org). The books of both performers will be available for purchase at the event through a partnership with The Willamette Store. ?The Topaz Public Library? is a part of a two-month series of programs planned in conjunction with Oregon Reads 2009, focusing on the book, ?Stubborn Twig: Three Generations in the Life of a Japanese-American Family? by Lauren Kessler.

In our post-911, post-Katrina world, we all know the importance of being prepared. A specific plan of action that aims to reduce immediate and continued threats and salvage already-damaged items could make all the difference to compromised collections. But did you know that your ability to act ? and to pay for that action ? hinges on requirements set forth by your institution?s insurance policy? Have you factored insurance into your disaster plan? DIRG and the OLA Preservation Roundtable invite you to MayDay! 2009, a free workshop for all concerned about disaster planning and response for your library, archive, historical society, or museum, regardless of your level of preparedness. This year?s workshop will highlight important aspects of insurance, as well as a variety of useful resources to get your own plan in tiptop shape. If you have an updated plan, outdated plan, or no plan, we are here to help and to provide resources and expertise. Please reserve a spot now! And of course, refreshments provided.

QuickStats allows public access for data consumers -- such as policy makers, legislative staff, journalists, students, and others -- to answer questions using data collected by NCES. Users can easily create tables by selecting from a list of datasets, then selecting variables contained within as column and row categories, employing a simple drag-and-drop process. Once the tables are produced, they can choose to view their results in bar graph form, downloads into MS Excel, create a printer layout, or save them by generating a unique table ID for quick retrieval. QuickStats allows users to obtain data from the following studies: * NEW! National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS:08). Just released, NPSAS:08 is the most current nationally representative study of U.S. undergraduate and graduate students, with a special focus on how students and their families pay for college. QuickStats also includes data from NPSAS:04. * Baccalaureate and Beyond (B & B), a study of bachelor's degree recipients and their plans for and experiences after college graduation, including graduate study. The 1992-1993 longitudinal cohort was followed periodically for 10 years after graduation. * Beginning Postsecondary Students Longitudinal Study (BPS), which follows first-time students beginning their postsecondary education, typically over a period of 6 years. The 1995-96 cohort was followed through 2001. The 2003-04 cohort was interviewed in 2006 and is currently being interviewed again. * National Survey of Postsecondary Faculty (NSOPF), a study of full-time and part-time postsecondary faculty and instructional staff at 2-year and 4-year institutions. NSOPF was last conducted in 2004. QuickStats users can answer such questions as: * What percentage of all undergraduates are obtaining student loans and how much have they borrowed? * What is the average cost of attending one year at a private 4-year college? * What percentage of low-income freshmen who started college in fall 2003 were still enrolled three years later? * What was the average debt of graduating seniors in 2008? * What percentage of Hispanic 2008 bachelor's degree recipients enrolled in graduate study?

DVD sets of the Welcome to the Library series are being provided to all public library systems in Oregon for use in their own outreach work. Viewable from the library's website , the Chinese , Russian and Vietnamese versions of Welcome to the Library parallel each other in content, with eight chapters that focus on useful information such as how to get a library card and how to use a library computer. All three are also cataloged as DVDs that can be checked out from the library, and are posted on YouTube Featuring the library's bilingual staff and community volunteers, Welcome to the Library is the latest effort of the library's Target Language Initiative , which provides culturally effective library services and information to speakers of the four most frequently used languages in Multnomah County (after English). Creation of the Welcome to the Library series was supported in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services through the Library Services and Technology Act, administered by the Oregon State Library. ### -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The American Library Association (ALA) says the Senate?s tribute to National Library Week on the Senate homepage, Senate.gov, brings attention to the importance of libraries and the difference libraries are making in the lives of millions of Americans. ?The ALA appreciates the Senate for making note of National Library Week on its Web site this week and for reminding the Congress and all those who use their own libraries on a daily basis of the myriad contributions libraries make in today?s information-driven world,? ALA President Jim Rettig said. ?With more Americans turning to libraries during this time of economic downturn, bringing awareness to libraries and the services they provide such as help with job searching, resume building, skills training and financial literacy is critically important.? National Library Week is an annual celebration of the contributions of our nation?s libraries and librarians, held on the third week of April. The message on the Senate homepage noted that the reference section of Senate.gov was created by librarians, and it provides guidance to help citizens find U.S. Senate information. ?Libraries are not just about books, they are about people and communities,? said U.S. Senator Jack Reed (D-RI). ?They bring people together at a place where they can expand their horizons. Celebrating National Library Week is a great way to recognize the valuable contributions libraries make to our families, communities and the nation.? -- Diedre Conkling diedre08 at gmail.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

(Education World Site Reviews) Universal Leonardo http://www.universalleonardo.org/ Universal Leonardo covers a massive amount of information about the man and his extraordinary skills. First time visitors may want to begin with the Explore section where they will find interactive exhibits that look at Leonardo da Vinci's work on the forces of nature, the human body, light and vision, and the natural world and learn how these things are all interconnected according to da Vinci. Alternatively, the interactive timeline at the top of the page provides a visual representation of the interconnectedness by linking related images. The Play section is delightful for all ages and includes online games and activities such as making a monster and making Mona Lisa smile as well as a few activities that can be downloaded and used in the classroom. The Discover section gives users the opportunity to learn about the scientific techniques used to analyze the "Madonna of the Yarnwinder". Additionally, users can also browse through collections of paintings, manuscripts, inventions, and drawings and learn about the life and times of this celebrated artist. ( Education World Site Reviews, 10/14/08) Van Gogh and the Colors of the Night http://www.moma.org/exhibitions/2008/vangoghnight/ Companion to a 2008/2009 exhibit exploring painter Vincent Van Gogh's "nocturnal interiors and landscapes, which often combine with other longstanding themes of his art -- peasant life, sowers, wheatfields, and the encroachment of modernity on the rural scene." View "paintings, drawings, and letters from all periods of his career, as well as examples of the rich literary sources that influenced his work." Also includes audio commentary. From the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). (Copyright 2008 by Librarians' Internet Index, LII this Week, 11/13/08) Joan Miro: Painting and Anti-Painting, 1927-1937 http://media.moma.org/subsites/2008/miro/ The Metropolitan Museum of Art's online exhibition: Joan Miro: Painting and Anti-Painting 1927-1937 is a great-looking website. Miro's work can be viewed in several different ways. Click on "Chronology" at the bottom of the page, and you'll see a timeline with paintings, collages, assemblages from the exhibit, as well as ones not in the exhibit. Roll over a work and you'll get the title, click on the work and you'll get a description of it, and be able to zoom in on the image of the work. With the high quality close-up you can see the brush strokes on the canvas. By clicking on "Series," at the bottom of the page, you can see his works divided up by series, and by rolling over the works you can see the series titles, such as "Paintings Based on Collages", "Constructions and Objects", and "Small Paintings on Masonite and Copper". Visitors shouldn't miss looking at the collages, and the paintings based on them, side-by-side in "Paintings Based on Collages". Another approach to categorizing Miro's works is by "Relative Size." Laid out much like a timeline, but neither in date order or ascending (or descending) size, the visitor can click on each work to read its description. Finally, at the bottom left of the page, you'll find "Filter", where you can choose within Methods, Supports, Mediums, and Materials, the filters you want for the content of the site. For instance, you can choose to see only "collages", done on "masonite" using "tempera" and "printed paper". After you choose the filters, click again on "Series", "Chronology", "Relative Size", or "Index", and see only those works that fit the criteria of the filters you selected.

The website is divided into several sections, including "Tapestries in Context", with information on the uses and major periods and styles of tapestry production, from the Golden Age (most of the 16th century) through the Industrial Revolution. There is a tapestry technology section, "Tapestry Design and Weaving", that explains the collaborative nature of tapestries, from artist's design, to cartoon, to actual weaving. The website also includes digital images of about 15 selected works, such as A Falconer with Two Ladies and a Foot Soldier, c. 1500, a Golden Age tapestry in the millefleur style. (From The Scout Report, Copyright Internet Scout Project 1994-2008, http://scout.wisc.edu/, 11/14/08) Exploring Leonardo http://www.mos.org/sln/Leonardo/LeoHomePage.html Focuses on the intersection between art and science, exploring how Leonardo daVinci applied the scientific method creatively in every aspect of life including art and music. The site was designed by the Boston Museum of Science for grades 4 -8, students and teachers.

Lots of Renoir (these sites are all from Surfing the Net with Kids) Art in the Picture: Pierre-Auguste Renoir http://www.artinthepicture.com/artists/Pierre-Auguste_Renoir/Biography/ The beautifully designed Art in the Picture offers a Renoir biography, a few quotes, and most importantly, a gallery. Sorted either by popularity or date, Art in the Picture displays twenty-five Renoir paintings, complete with title, date, and tags, but no annotation. Additional artists are searchable by name, movement, country, century or tag. The tags are fun to explore, and lead to some unique juxtapositions. For example, paintings tagged "bee" include one work by Salvador Dali and another by Albrecht Durer. Expo-Shop: Renoir http://www.expo-renoir.com/ This Expo-Shop site contains a gallery of over 200 Renoir works. Best reasons to visit are the versatility of the search function (works can be found by keyword, technique, theme or year), the Renoir biography (which includes links to important works), and the Permanent Exhibitions list. Because most of these ten museums have a good portion of their permanent collections cataloged online, the best way to learn more about Renoir is to visit these websites, and use the museum's on-site search functions to find more Renoir. National Gallery of Art Tour: Mary Cassatt and Auguste Renoir http://www.nga.gov/collection/gallery/gg83/gg83-main1.html "Toward the end of the nineteenth century, many French painters turned their attention to scenes of modern life. For the two artists featured here, Mary Cassatt and Auguste Renoir, images from the lives of women and children, especially, provided lifelong inspiration." This National Gallery of Art tour brings a true museum experience to the Web. Although this mini-exhibit features only seven paintings, it's the commentary that makes it so valuable. "Perhaps more than the work of any other artist, Renoir's sunlit scenes reflect the joie de vivre that is so appealing in impressionist painting." The National Gallery: Renoir http://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/cgi-bin/WebObjects.dll/CollectionPublisher.woa/wa/artistBiography?artistID=598 This online museum exhibit from London's National Gallery begins with a short Renoir biography. Your next stop should be The Impressionists, a special feature listed as a "Who's Who" Guide. In addition to Renoir, the exhibit includes works by Monet, Degas, Manet, Pissarro and Cezanne. Returning to the original biography page, you'll find twelve more of Renoir's paintings listed in the right-hand column, each with an excellent description. Philadelphia Museum of Art: Renoir Landscapes http://www.philamuseum.org/exhibitions/260.html "Celebrated for his portraits and nudes, Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841-1919) is most often associated with figure painting. He was also a lover of nature, however, and an accomplished painter of landscapes." Be sure to read the articles exploring themes in Renoir's landscape paintings such as gardens and cityscapes, and listen to curator John Zarobell's two-part audio podcast. "The paintings on view in this exhibition reveal the subtlety of touch; vaporous effects; and lush, full-blown color that mark Renoir as one of the most audacious and original landscape artists of his age." Captured Emotions: Baroque Painting in Bologna, 1575-1725 http://www.getty.edu/art/exhibitions/captured_emotions/ This web exhibition from the Getty Museum traces the influences of the Carracci family of Bologna, Italy, thought by some art historians to have revitalized painting in the late 16th century, after the passing of the great Renaissance artists. The Explore tool provided by the Museum allows visitors to see and read about all 43 paintings in the exhibition, including works by the Carracci themselves, brothers Annibale and Agostino, and their cousin Ludovico, as well as some of their followers and students, Guido Reni, Domenichino, and Francesco Albani. Works can be sorted by theme, artist, or lending museum using the tool. For example, sorting by portraiture creates a set of portraits: a young boy, possibly Antonio Carracci, who was Agostino Carracci's illegitimate son, shown with cherries and a lute; Giulio Mascheroni, a lute player; and two important religious leaders: Pope Gregory XV and Cardinal Roberto Ubaldino.

The deadline to sign the letter is *Tuesday, May 5!* LSTA and Improving Literacy Through School Libraries are two of the most important federal programs for libraries today.

The resolution ?encourages all residents to visit a library to take advantage of the wonderful library resources available, and to thank their librarians and library workers for making information accessible to all who walk through the library?s doors.? ?It was gratifying to hear members of Congress discuss the many ways libraries and librarians benefit the lives of Americans every day as well as how libraries have made a difference in their own lives,? ALA President Jim Rettig said. ?The ALA thanks the House of Representatives for quickly adding this resolution to its schedule and for putting a spotlight on the importance of libraries and National Library Week.? -- Diedre Conkling diedre08 at gmail.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

All you have to do is change the logo to match your individual library, then print away. I'm using white, acid-free cardstock (not too thick), which is both good for the books and seem to be more enjoyed by our patrons than flimsy looseleaf. And for any interested public library, I also have pre-made templates for Newbery, Caldecott, Young Reader's Choice, and Librarianship 101 bookmarks as well. Contact me at patrick(at)jcld(dot)org.

An HTML version can be viewed on BCR's website at http://www.bcr.org/about/newsreleases/index.html. Please excuse any cross-postings. ************************************************************************** FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Brandie Baumann, communications coordinator 800.397.1552 bcrpress at bcr.org BCR Welcomes Nebraska Libraries Aurora, Colo., April 22, 2009 - Current NEBASE libraries will be moving to BCR for their OCLC products and services starting July 1, 2009, as the result of a recommendation from the Nebraska Library Commission and an agreement between BCR and OCLC. The move of Nebraska's libraries using OCLC services to obtain those services through BCR is the result of a decision made by the Nebraska Library Commission to dissolve NEBASE as an OCLC network. By obtaining OCLC services through BCR, Nebraska libraries automatically become BCR members and will benefit from BCR's extensive experience working with libraries and their national membership base. "BCR has a history of providing some services to Nebraska libraries, and we're pleased to expand that relationship into other areas," noted Brenda Bailey-Hainer, BCR's President and CEO. "Our newest members will benefit from our long-standing relationship with OCLC in providing quality training and service." "The Nebraska Library Commission was pleased with responses from BCR to its concerns over NEBASE members' needs for billing, support and training. We believe working with an experienced regional organization will provide members the same level of service that they had with NEBASE," says Devra Dragos, NEBASE Director of Network Services. To assist with the move to BCR, Regan Harper, BCR's Director of Training and OCLC Services, who is heading up the transition team, will be meeting with Nebraska libraries at a "Farewell to NEBASE" event being held June 25, at the Marriott Cornhusker Hotel, in Lincoln. 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.

In 2007 the Oregon Department of Education, Oregon State Library, and Oregon Library Association coordinated their efforts to create a joint Oregon Summer Reading Certificate with funding from the Oregon Education Association. The joint certificate has the national Collaborative Summer Library Program artwork on it and is signed by the State Librarian and the State Superintendent of Public Instruction. This effort signifies the commitment of schools and libraries to the education of Oregon's youth.

An HTML version can be viewed on BCR's website at http://www.bcr.org/about/newsreleases/index.html. Please excuse any cross-postings. ************************************************************************** FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Brandie Baumann, communications coordinator 800.397.1552; bcrpress at bcr.org BCR to Offer TLC's BiblioFile and ITS.MARC Services AURORA, Colo., April 28, 2009 ? BCR and The Library Corporation (TLC) are pleased to announce that they have signed an agreement that allows BCR to offer TLC's ITS.MARC databases, BiblioFile software and other products and services to BCR member libraries. The partnership combines TLC's 33 years of library automation experience and outstanding service background with BCR's commitment to help its members increase productivity by making sure they have the best and most appropriate tools at their fingertips. The BiblioFile family of cataloging tools supports copy cataloging with a Unicode-compliant editor, advanced Z39.50 search and filtering, label printing and utilities optimized for local catalogs and union catalogs. It is supported by a help file of MARC documentation - the Cataloger's Reference Shelf. The ITS.MARC database contains more than 41 million records covering multiple languages. Libraries can customize access to fit their specific situation with add-ons such as authorities with LC Names and Subjects, Sears Subjects and Medical Subject Headings or collections of records with A/V, media and Lexile and Accelerated Reader information. "Combining high quality records with sophisticated BiblioFile software at an affordable price is a winning strategy for any library in these times, and we are pleased that BCR will be offering our services to its member libraries," said Gar Sydnor, Senior Vice President at TLC. "This partnership allows us to offer our members a new option for copy cataloging," noted Brenda Bailey-Hainer, BCR's president and CEO. "Our member schools in particular will appreciate the records which have been enhanced specifically to suit their needs, and our public library members may find that it complements other services they already use." 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. BCR is the nation's oldest and most established multistate library cooperative. Since 1935, the BCR team has helped libraries learn new skills, reach patrons, increase productivity and save money. BCR (Bibliographical Center for Research) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit headquartered in Aurora, Colorado. For more information, visit www.BCR.org or email info at BCR.org. About The Library Corporation (TLC) Founded in 1974, TLC is still owned and operated by the same family today. TLC creates automation technology for libraries and school districts of all sizes, including some of the busiest libraries in the world. TLC's offerings have grown from cataloging and PAC products to an array of sophisticated systems that include integrated automation, acquisitions, online cataloging, authority control, RFID technology, and other products and services required for the success of today's libraries. The company serves over 5,000 libraries world-wide with 250-plus staff members from its offices in the United States and abroad. ************************************************************************** Brandie Baumann Communications Coordinator BCR 14394 E.

On Friday, May 29th, you will be hosted by the fabulous new Seaside Public Library, and on Saturday, May 30th, you will take a small jaunt down the coast and be hosted by the equally fabulous new Tillamook County Library and Sara Charlton. I have already heard from several of you regarding your attendance, but I need to hear from the rest of you. So, please e-mail me so I can figure out details, plan lunch, reserve sun, and other stuff. I will be sending you all details, (agendas, maps, lunch menus, and stuff later as I hear from more of you). If any of you want, let me know I can mail you a Seaside Visitor's Guide to help you determine where to stay and what to do for fun (although I can't imagine anything more fun than a Library Director's meeting).

Ask your Senators to support library funding! Message-ID: <61ec90900904291402j19af66d4gf0b4992f29195d7f@mail.gmail.com> This is a reminder that we need to have you contact your Senators and have them sign onto the Dear Colleague letter supporting library funding. It is VERY important that you do this by May 5. Below is a list of the Senators that have signed the letter. There are only 9 of them and we need 60. Thank you for taking the time to contact your Senators. Action Alert http://capwiz.com/ala/home/ *Urgent Call to Action! Ask your Senators to support library funding!* Please contact your Senators and ask them to sign the "Dear Colleague" letter being circulated by Senators Jack Reed (D-RI) and Olympia Snowe (R-ME) in support of funding for the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) and the Improving Literacy Through School Libraries Program. * The deadline to sign the letter is Tuesday May 5! *LSTA and Improving Literacy Through School Libraries are two of the most important federal programs for libraries today. The letter will not be taken seriously, and it will appear as if Members of Congress do not care about libraries if we don't have 60 signers on the letter. Programs that don't have a vocal support network are in danger of being cut. The letter is addressed to the Senate Labor, Health and Human Services and Education Appropriation Subcommittees and requests that the Senate include $300 million for the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) and $100 million for the Improving Literary Through School Libraries program for FY 2010. You can see the letter here. *Please click the "Take Action" link at http://capwiz.com/ala/home/. This link will take you to sample language and direct it toward your specific Senator. When you contact your Senators you must ask him or her to call Andrew Odgren with Senator Reed at 202-224-4642 or Mathew Hussey with Senator Snowe at 202-224-5344. Talking Points: * - The Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) was reauthorized as part of the Museum and Library Services Act of 2003 (H.R. 13) and signed by the President on September 25, 2003 (P.L. 108-81) - LSTA is the only federal funding program exclusively for libraries - The Grants to State Library Agencies program provides funds to State Library Administrative Agencies using a population-based formula. State libraries may use the appropriation to support statewide initiatives and services; they also may distribute the funds through subgrant competitions or cooperative agreements to public, academic, research, school, and special libraries in their state. - LSTA offers a variety of competitive grants available to librarians: The 21st Century Librarians Program; The National Leadership Grants; and the Native American Library Services: Enhancement Grants. - Around the country, knowledgeable librarians use the flexible LSTA funding to help patrons access essential information on a wide range of topics. They offer training on r?sum? development; help on web searches of job banks; workshops on career information; links to essential educational and community services; assistive devices for people with disabilities; family and youth literacy classes and services; homework help and mentoring programs; access to government information; a forum for enhanced civic engagement; summer reading programs and much more - LSTA provides funds to help libraries connect to each other electronically and provide users access to information through state, regional, national, and international networks - State libraries use LSTA funds to support statewide initiatives and also distribute the funds through subgrants or cooperative agreements to public, school, academic, research, and special libraries - LSTA funding enables libraries to pursue innovative opportunities, recruit and educate the next generation of librarians, and support research that is critical to libraries of all types - LSTA funds help libraries provide persons of limited financial resources or who live in remote areas, access to books and reference materials, computers and the internet, and community-based social services that are often available nowhere else - LSTA helps libraries serve as an important link to the business community, assisting with job creation and training programs, as well as assisting with business development initiatives - Across the United States, numerous studies have shown that students in schools with strong school libraries learn more, get better grades, and score higher on standardized test scores than their peers in schools without libraries. - Education is not exclusive to the classroom; it extends into school libraries. Long regarded as the cornerstone of the school community, school libraries are no longer just for books. Instead, they have become sophisticated 21st century learning environments offering a full range of print and electronic resources that provide equal learning opportunities to all students, regardless of the socio-economic or education levels of the community. School library media specialists collaborate with teachers and engage students meaningfully with information that matters to them both in the classroom and in the real world. *They are a critical part of the instructional staff.* - The Improving Literacy Through School Libraries program is designed to improve student literacy skills and academic achievement by providing schools with up-to-date library materials, and to ensure that school library media centers are staffed by well-trained state-certified school library media specialists. The program is administered by the U.S. Department of Education and is the first program specifically aimed at upgrading school libraries since the original school library resources program was established in 1965. The Department of Education's January 2009 evaluation of the Improving Literacy Through School Libraries program found it has been successful in improving the quality of school libraries. - When the funding levels are less than $100 million in a fiscal year, the Secretary awards competitive grants to eligible school districts. When funds are equal to or more than $100 million, the program will be distributed as formula grants to state departments of education. In FY 2008, out 496 applications received by the US Department of Education, there was only enough funds to award 60 grants. UPDATE - The following Senators have signed onto the Dear Colleague for FY2010: Reed Snowe Kohl Lautenberg Cardin Gillibrand Lieberman Wyden Boxer While it is critical that we thank these Senators, we need at least 60 signatures to make our needs heard. The following Senators have signed on in the past, but have not done so this year: Collins Kennedy Lincoln Cantwell Sanders Pryor Tester Brown Leahy Dodd Sununu Smith Snowe Levin Kerry Akaka Rockefeller Stabenow Kohl Menendez Whitehouse Durbin Schumer Johnson Baucus Klobuchar Feingold Mikulski Bingaman Casey Dole Conrad Burr McCaskill Salazar Bill Nelson Webb Coleman -- Diedre Conkling diedre08 at gmail.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I would be interested in what people are thinking. Leah ****************************** Leah M.
