ALA Seeks Nominations for
2009 James Madison Awardand Eileen Cooke State & Local Madison Award
January 05th, 2009 |
Category: Other
WASHINGTON, D.C. ? The American Library Association (ALA) is seeking
nominations for two awards to honor individuals or groups who have
championed, protected and promoted public access to government information
and the public's right to know.
The James Madison Award, named in honor of President James Madison, was
established in 1986 and is presented annually on the anniversary of his
birth. That award is designed to celebrate an individual or group who has
brought awareness to these issues at the national level.
The Eileen Cooke State & Local Madison Award, named for Eileen Cooke, former
director of the ALA's Washington Office, honors an extraordinary leader who
has built local grassroots awareness of the importance of access to
information. Cooke herself was a tireless advocate for the public's right to
know and a mentor to many librarians and trustees.
Both awards are presented during Freedom of Information (FOI) Day, an annual
event on or near March 16, the birthday of James Madison, who is widely
regarded as the Father of the Constitution and as the foremost advocate for
openness in government. Nominations should be submitted to the American
Library Association's Washington Office no later than February 2, 2009.
Submissions should include a statement (maximum one page) about nominee's
contribution to public access to government information and why it merits
the award, and one seconding letter. Please include a brief biography and
contact information for the nominee.
Send e-mail nominations to Jessica McGilvray, Assistant Director for the ALA
Office of Government Relations, at
jmcgilvray at alawash.org
.
Submissions can also be mailed to: James Madison Award / Eileen Cooke

Subject: [Libs-Or] Grant Opportunity for Rural Public Libraries
Message-ID: <4963A4F6.1080905@librifoundation.org>
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
January 2009
The Libri Foundation is currently accepting applications for its 2009
BOOKS FOR CHILDREN grants.
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 deadlines for 2007 are: (postmarked by) January 23rd
(extended), April 15th, and August 15th. Grants are awarded January
31st, April 30th, and August 31st.
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). Normal
office hours are: Monday-Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Pacific Time.

I am looking to buy or borrow a copy of a program called DUSO
(Developing an Understanding of Self and Others) which is out of print.
It was published by AGS (American Guidance Service) which has merged
into Pearson School. I called their customer service and they
recommended o.p. sellers. No luck there. Not on Amazon.com or e-bay
either (although I learned of a school that found one on e-bay). The
program has a multiple units, stories and cassettes for each, and
puppets.
Any chance anyone has it in a professional library?

LIBRARY ADVOCATES, START NOW WITH THE 111th CONGRESS!
January 06th, 2009 |
Category: Grassroots Lobbying
The 111th Congress is now sworn in. In order to maximize our influence on
key library issues, we must be proactive in educating our new and returning
elected officials on ALA's legislative agenda. There will likely be new
bills introduced this afternoon ? and onslaught of new bills in the coming
months. We need to start building relationships with our senators and
representatives early to make them aware of the key legislative issues for
the library community during this critical time.
*FIRST ? INVITE YOUR REPRESENTATIVES AND SENATORS TO YOUR LIBRARIES!*
I recommend that you invite them to visit your library so they can see
firsthand the critical services that libraries provide. It doesn't matter if
you are a school library, a public library or an academic library ? our
elected officials need to see them all.
Not only should this invitation go to the elected official, but make sure to
include your contact information and copy the scheduler on this request so
they can follow up with you. Finding the scheduler can be as simple as
calling their D.C. office and asking for their e-mail address.
Plan opportunities in the coming months to invite your senators and
respective representatives to come into your library ? for a tour of your
library services, a town hall meeting, reading to children at a school or
public library, or a "friends of library" meeting. Contact the local offices
of each representative and senator to find out more about their schedules
for visits to their home states or districts. In the meantime, also find out
more about attending their already scheduled town hall meetings to find out
more about your elected officials and to raise important library questions.
*SECOND ? FIND OUT MORE ABOUT ADVOCACY ACTIVITIES AND TECHNIQUES BY USING
ALA RESOURCES!*
The Legislative Action Center: The LAC is a central location to review
updates about federal issues and then immediately fax or e-mail Congress to
urge them to support libraries. This is an easy way for new and veteran
advocates to get involved immediately.
National Library Legislative Day: On May 11 and 12, library advocates across
the country will convene in Washington, D.C. and meet with their
Congressional representatives to speak about the library issues that matter
the most.
Virtual Legislative Day: Can't make it to Washington, D.C.? You can still be
a voice for libraries! While every day should be a virtual legislative day,
you can be part of an organized effort by writing or calling your elected
official on a scheduled date, or meet with them in the District. It's always
beneficial to invite them to see firsthand all the critical resources that
libraries provide by touring your local library.
Federal Library Legislative Action Network: FLLAN is a rapid-response
grassroots network made up of individuals and groups who have made a
commitment to actively and immediately respond to calls for action related
to federal issues. FLLAN advocates have also made the commitment to forward
calls to action to other advocates who can help by contacting Congress. While
this network initially participated in contacting their elected officials,
it has evolved into a multifaceted grassroots strategy. FLLAN members are
inviting their members of Congress to tour their local libraries, and they
provide feedback on key ALA issues and many other projects.
Webinars and Podcasts: The ALA Washington Office, in conjunction with
advocacy expert Stephanie Vance from Advocacy Associates, hosts monthly
Webinars on advocacy. Sample topics include "Communicating with Your Member
of Congress," "Building an Effective Grassroots Strategy," Grassroots and
the Appropriations Process," and many more exciting and timely topics! This
information will be posted on the Washington Office's Web site under
"Upcoming Events" as well as the District Dispatch.
In the coming months, there will be many more podcasts, wiki's, talking
points, and other communications tools for advocates for some of the
important bills and legislative proposals that will be discussed in the
upcoming Congress. The Washington Office will continually offer a variety of
information resources about current federal issues that impact libraries,
including Online Advocacy
Tools.
**
*THIRD ? LEARN ABOUT KEY ISSUES FOR ALA'S LEGISLATIVE AGENDA!* You will also
find more about the important issues that ALA will be working on as the new
Congress moves forward on our Web pages. In December 2008, the ALA
Washington Office submitted a report to the Obama-Biden Transition Team and
is now sharing it with Congress, outlining the goals and concerns of the
library community that warrant the new Administration's and the Congress's
attention.
The report *Opening the "Window to a Larger World," Libraries' Role in
Changing America*, include issues such as:
- Broadband build-out and telecommunications policy;
- Funding for federal library programs for the Library Services &
Technology Act (LSTA) as well as school libraries;
- Access and transparency in government including support for the role of
libraries in providing e-government services and access to government
information;
- Support for library & information services for veterans, active-duty
military and their families;
- Literacy & Lifelong learning; and,
- Copyright.
(See the full report
here
.)
Finally, if you haven't already subscribed to the ALA "District Dispatch,"
please be sure to sign up and stay up-to-date as legislative activities move
forward in the 111th Congress. There is tremendous opportunity and challenge
in this Congress ? but we will only prevail if we increase the effectiveness
of ALA's grassroots advocacy. That means all of us need to say informed,
active and consistent when contacting our Members of Congress. We appreciate
your ongoing advocacy and look forward to working with even more of you
during the 111th Congress.
Please feel free to comment on this blog, email us at the ALA Office of
Government Relations (OGR) or call us at 1-800-941-8478. Our staff will be
glad to answer your questions and hear your ideas about how we can all work
together to advance the library agenda. We'll be using this blog and other
tools to report on new bills, Congressional actions and other ALA
legislative activities.

Pacific Northwest Region
Message-ID: <496507AE.9070902@u.washington.edu>
Join us beginning January 14, 2009, for a 3-part RML Rendezvous series
of Community Assessment for CE credit. All library types are welcome to
participate - these concepts will transfer easily to many settings.
The National Network of Libraries of Medicine, Pacific Northwest Region
(NN/LM PNR) is offering our second RML Rendezvous Medical Library
Association Continuing Education (MLA CE) course, Community Assessment.
Susan Barnes, Assistant Director of the Outreach Evaluation Resource
Center (OERC) and Maryanne Blake, Outreach/Evaluation Coordinator at
NN/LM PNR, will teach the course.
For full information visit:
http://nnlm.gov/pnr/training/CommunityAssessment.html
Community Assessment
Community Assessment will help librarians and others involved in health
information outreach to design quality programs and garner support for
those programs by taking the right first step: collecting community and
needs assessment information about the groups of people who will be
involved. By the end of the course, participants should know how to
collect data that will create a picture of their target community,
including its needs, assets, resources, and potential obstacles that may
affect the success of health information outreach efforts. Participants
will learn how to use existing data, such as US Census data, state data,
and local resources in community assessment. They also will learn the
type of information they should seek through interviews and surveys.
Learning objectives include
* Describe the goals of a community assessment
* Identify methods for gathering information from local
participants and stakeholders to better plan a project
* Collect community assessment data for proposal writing

Message-ID: <34314BFF-296A-4952-BBCC-B4EB68D951B5@oslmac.osl.state.or.us>
First-Ever Adult Literacy Data for States and Counties Released Today
Today, the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) released the "National Assessment of Adult Literacy: Indirect County and State Estimates of the Percentage of Adults at the Lowest Literacy Level for 1992 and 2003", which provides estimates on the percentage of adults - for all states and counties in the U.S. - who lack basic prose literacy skills. The study provides data for 2003 and 1992. This new data is currently the only available snapshot of adult literacy rates for individual states and counties.
To produce this study, NCES gathered data from the 2003 National Assessment of Adult Literacy (NAAL), a nationally representative sample of more than 19,000 Americans age 16 and older, and the 2000 Census, which provided "predictor variables" such as education and income.
NAAL data were correlated with the predictor variables to see if there was a pattern among them. From this information, a model was established. Using the model, estimates were predicted for areas where there were not sufficient assessment data. The same approach was also applied to the 1992 National Adult Literacy Survey (NALS), so changes from 1992 to 2003 can be examined.
The report is accompanied by an interactive web tool, which shows the percentage of adults lacking Basic Prose Literacy Skills for all states and counties. In addition to allowing users to view adult literacy percentages for any given state, the web tool also allows for comparisons to be made between two states, two counties in the same state, two counties in different states, across years for a state, and across years for a county.
The report can be found at:
http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=2009482
The Interactive Web Tool can be accessed at:

Subject: [Libs-Or] MARC 21 in Your Library and Just for Copy Cats are now
being offered in three California locations
Message-ID: <85055FA347C14043835BD64615F1238F1AEF39@OAEXCH2SERVER.oa.oclc.org>
MARC 21 in Your Library and Just for Copy Cats are now being offered in three California locations: San Francisco, San Diego and Los Angeles
OCLC Western is offering the popular, in-person cataloging classes-MARC 21 in Your Library and Just for Copy Cats-in three California locations: San Francisco, San Diego, and Los Angeles. This is the first time these classes have been offered in these areas and are certain to fill up soon, so don't delay?register now!
Please review the course descriptions below. Both classes are designed to support and enhance basic cataloging skill sets, and to prepare you to participate in increasingly responsible levels of cataloging.
MARC 21 in Your Library
MARC 21 in Your Library is an introduction to all things MARC. It defines what the coding standard is and clarifies how it ties in with our cataloging rules to work in your library's catalog. Upon completion of the course, you should be able to read a MARC record, speak the MARC language, and understand how errors in MARC coding affect an OPAC.
This one-day, in-person class is not only intended for beginning catalogers; it also has appeal to a broader audience of library professionals. Acquisitions people, managers, even library directors, could also benefit from this class. Aside from understanding the basis of the records that form the backbone of library information systems, it will also provide them with the ability to communicate more effectively with the folks in and around their institution who already "speak MARC."
For a complete course description and to register, please click on the links below:
February 10, 2009 (Registration Deadline: 1/16/09)
9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Pacific Time
Location: San Francisco Public Library, San Francisco, CA
February 25, 2009 (Registration Deadline: 1/28/09)
9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Pacific Time
Location: San Diego State University, San Diego, CA
March 3, 2009 (Registration Deadline: 2/3/09)
9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Pacific Time
Location: Cal State University, L.A.
Just for Copy Cats
Just for Copy Cats is a two day, in-person, basic introduction to copy cataloging, which primarily covers four subject areas: finding cataloging records you can copy; some of the challenges of doing so; some of the neglected database issues involved; and a brief look at important editing. Upon completion of this course, you should be able to find and copy book records that accurately reflect your items.
For a beginning cataloger, this workshop is the second step in your journey to excellence (your first step should be MARC 21 in Your Library). A more experienced copy cataloger might also benefit from the course, finding nuggets of new information previously undiscovered.
For a complete course description and to register, please click on the links below:
February 11-12, 2009 (Registration Deadline: 1/16/09)
9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Pacific Time

February 26-27, 2009 (Registration Deadline: 1/29/09)

House Passes Presidential Records Act Amendments and Presidential Library
Donation Reform Act January
08th, 2009 | Category: Government
Information
The House is back in session and is already getting to work. Yesterday, they
voted on and passed H.R. 35, Presidential Records Act Amendments of 2009 and
H.R. 36, Presidential Library Donation Reform Act of 2009.
H.R. 35 revokes President Bush's executive order (E.O. 13233). This ruling
invalidates part of E.O. 13233 that allows former Presidents and Vice
Presidents to review executive records before they are released under the
Freedom of Information Act.
Presidential records are an important resource for historians and the larger
public, and it is vital that these papers are made available. H.R. 35 passed
(359-58) and hopefully will have similar success in the Senate.
Presidential Library Donation Reform Act of 2009, sponsored by Oversight and
Government Reform Chairman Towns, makes it mandatory to disclose all
donations to charities set up to build presidential libraries. It passed the
House (388-31).
Now is the time to reach out to your Senators and them to support these
bills. Visit the ALA Legislative Action Center
to learn more about contacting your
elected officials.

~Please excuse cross posting~
At this moment, in Monmouth, the sun is shining....summer must be right around the corner!
In the past couple days I have had a couple requests for Summer Reading manuals. All manuals were either picked up at the CSD Fall Workshop or mailed to libraries in November. At the fall workshop several people picked up manuals for people on their courier routes to help distribute them. If you were one of those kind souls and have an extra manual laying around maybe it didn't get to it's intended destination. If you haven't received your manual yet please contact me and let's see if we can get that corrected.
Now is a great time to start, if you haven't already, thinking about summer fun. So, Be Creative and Express Yourself @ your library.....

Children's Books and the CPSIA ?C STANDBY - Situation "Fluid"
January 09th, 2009 |
Category: OGR ,
Other,
School Libraries
In August 2008, the 110th Congress passed the Consumer Product Safety
Improvement Act (CPSIA) to protect children under 12 from exposure to lead
following widespread reports about the dangers of children's toys coming in
the United States from China and other places. This new law is administered
by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and will likely start to
take effect in February 2009 (although even this latter date appears to be
changing.)
Within the last few days, ALA and others in the "book" community (other
librarians, publishers, teachers, booksellers, etc.) became extremely
concerned after seeing that the CPSC intended to include books in the
definition of "products to children" that would need to be certified as
safe. This concern was heightened by a letter from the General Counsel of
the CPSC ?C a letter that states that books are not exempt from the law.
However, ALA has been in discussion with attorneys, other associations and
the sponsors of the original bill. Our analysis is that neither the law nor
the legislative history indicates any Congressional intention to include
books and even textbooks in the law.
Please stand by ?C there is no need to take action at this time. The
situation is extremely fluid and every day this week ALA has received new
and sometimes contradictory information. The ALA Washington Office is
taking measures to ensure this ruling (CPSIA) will not affect libraries and
has sent a letter to all Congressional offices alerting them to the fact
that we believe CPSC General Counsel has erroneously interpreted the CPSIA
to include books. ALA is also monitoring the potential impact on other types
of library materials as well.
Several key Hill offices have contacted the CPSC Commissioners and the
General Counsel. We believe that the misunderstanding may be cleared up, so
the Commission can focus on children's items that are truly dangerous.
If we can't get this resolved, we will need everyone who wants children to
continue to have access to safe children's books to contact the Commission
and Capitol Hill ?C but, for now, we can stand by until we hear more from our
Congressional supporters.

ALA Urges Congress To Correct Law That Inadvertently Targets Libraries,
Publishers January 09th,
2009 | Category: Other , School
Libraries
*CPSC ruling requires children's books to be removed for safety testing*
*WASHINGTON, D.C. *?C The American Library Association (ALA) released a
letter to Congress yesterday, urging members to take action against a recent
opinion ruling released from the General Counsel of the Consumer Product
Safety Commission (CPSC) that would require public, school, academic and
museum libraries to either remove all their books or ban all children under
12 from visiting the facilities, beginning on February 10.
The opinion was issued to the Association of American Publishers (AAP),
following the group's request to exclude children's books from regulation
under the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA), which passed the
110th Congress in August and is enforced by the CPSC.
Under the CPSC's interpretation of the law, which seeks to protect children
from exposure to lead and phthalate, books for children under the age of 12
are required to undergo the same testing procedures as children's toys.
Since the General Counsel's opinion is retroactive, all books currently on
library or store shelves must be removed for testing, including textbooks
and children's literature books in academic library research collections.
The publishing community has supplied the Commission with evidentiary
support (available at www.rrd.com/cpsia ) that books and other non-book,
paper-based printed materials should not be subject to the lead, phthalate,
and applicable ASTM standards that are referenced in CPSIA because they do
not present any of the health or safety risks to children that the law
intended to address.
ALA President Jim Rettig said he agrees that books do not pose a threat to
children and should not be subject to regulation.
"The CPSC should enforce this important legislation where the dangers are ?C
not with books, which are not playthings and should remain unregulated,"
Rettig said.
"I sincerely doubt that Congress intended to require libraries to be subject
to this law, but if Congress does not act soon, libraries across the country
will be forced to remove books from the shelves, rather than keep them
available to serve the educational needs of our nation's children."

U.S. Department of Education Announces LSL Program Competition
January 08th, 2009 |
Category: School Libraries
The U.S. Department of Education's Improving Literacy Through School
Libraries (LSL) Program focuses on providing funding to public school
libraries in districts with 20.00 percent or more family poverty. Funds are
used to improve reading achievement through updating the library collection,
expanding internet connections, purchasing new technology, providing
professional development for library media specialists, and extending school
library hours. Please note that individual schools may not apply for this
program. This is for public local school districts or charter schools or
state-administered schools that are considered local school districts by
their State Educational Agency. More information about this program can be
found on the program's Web site www.ed.gov/programs/lsl.
The Department announced the 2009 LSL program competition in the Federal
Register on Tuesday, January 6, 2009, and applications will be due on
Friday, March 6, 2009, at 4:30 P.M. Eastern Time. Approximately 18.5
million dollars will be available for funding, and an estimated 80 grants
will be awarded under this competition.
It is important to note that LSL applicants must use the U.S. Federal
Government's Grants.gov applications system to apply. It is vital that all
applicants register early, since the registration process on Grants.gov can
take from 7 to 10 days. Please note that if you are registered, you must
make sure your information is up-to-date.
The LSL application package can be found on www.grants.gov along with
instructions for registering in the Grants.gov system and applying for
grants. You may download the application package before you register. Once
you are on the www.grants.gov home page, click on "Apply for Grants" at the
left of the screen. Then click on "Step 1 Download a Grant Application
Package." At "CFDA Number" type in "84.364?? and then click on "Download
Package". Then scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the link to
download the application package. Make sure you have a recent version of
Adobe Reader. It is also necessary to remember to send in your application
at least three days before the closing date of the competition, since it can
take that long to process the application.
You may access the full application package on the program Web site
www.ed.gov/programs/lsl under "Applicant Info," and this page also contains
information on how to register for free technical assistance conference
calls. The Federal Register Notice can be found at
http://www.ed.gov/legislation/FedRegister/announcements/2009-1/010609d.html.
If you have any questions please e-mail Dr. Irene Harwarth, Team Leader for
the Improving Literacy Through School Libraries program at

House Passes Presidential Records Act Amendments and Presidential Library
Donation Reform Act
January 08th, 2009 | Category: Government
Information
The House is back in session and is already getting to work. Yesterday, they
voted on and passed H.R. 35, Presidential Records Act Amendments of 2009 and
H.R. 36, Presidential Library Donation Reform Act of 2009.
H.R. 35 revokes President Bush's executive order (E.O. 13233). This ruling
invalidates part of E.O. 13233 that allows former Presidents and Vice
Presidents to review executive records before they are released under the
Freedom of Information Act.
Presidential records are an important resource for historians and the larger
public, and it is vital that these papers are made available. H.R. 35 passed
(359-58) and hopefully will have similar success in the Senate.
Presidential Library Donation Reform Act of 2009, sponsored by Oversight and
Government Reform Chairman Towns, makes it mandatory to disclose all
donations to charities set up to build presidential libraries. It passed the
House (388-31).
Now is the time to reach out to your Senators and ask them to support these
bills. Visit the ALA Legislative Action Center
to learn more about contacting your
elected officials.

OITP Contributes Article for January 2009 *Library Technology Reports*
January 07th, 2009 |
Category: OITP
[image: ltr-09-cover]
Check out the January 2009 issue of *Library Technology
Reports*,
where OITP IT Policy Analyst Timothy Vollmer has written a piece
titled "On-the-Ground
Lesons from OITP's Public Library Connectivity Study"
(PDF).
His article discusses findings from the 2007 OITP Connectivity Study,
examining the exploding demand for broadband connectivity at public
libraries, analyzing barriers to increasing connectivity, and suggesting
ways libraries and policymakers may better plan for and implement fast
connections in public libraries. From
ALATechSource
:
In the January 2009 issue of *Library Technology Reports*, "Funding ad
Budgeting for Library Technology in Today's Economy," by Larra Clark and
Denise Davis, ALA TechSource responds to the economic situation with a
timely report that offers a detailed look at the library-funding landscape
and features expertly authored practical guidelines for stretching a
library's budget as far as it can go.
"This issue examines the current state of library-technology funding,
looking at common problems and concerns among librarians who make
technological decisions for their facilities throughout the United States.
It also analyzes in detail funding sources and patterns in public libraries
by size and population served," explained Dan Freeman, ALA TechSource
editor. "A look at qualitative data from a series of visits to public
libraries around the country??where the authors interviewed staff to get a
more detailed look at how librarians deal with technology funding issues??is
also in the issue," he added.

Subject: [Libs-Or] Nominations Sought for 2009 BCR Board Election
Message-ID: <3DB6762E-71DC-48C6-A3B5-F30CEEB1DC7A@oslmac.osl.state.or.us>
The 2009 BCR Nominating Committee is looking for candidates to run in this spring's Board of Trustees election.
The committee is developing a slate of candidates to run for four positions on the Board of Trustees: school library trustee, special library trustee and two at-large trustees. Current trustees - Nancy White, school library trustee; Ann Marie Clarke, special library trustee; and Greg Cotton and Kate Gordon, both at-large trustees - will end their two-year terms on the Board as of June 30. With the exception of Cotton, the current Board chair, the incumbents are eligible to run for reelection to their seats for a second term. Among other qualifications, candidates should have significant knowledge and interest in BCR and its activities, experience with making policy level decisions, experience with financial oversight for a significant budget and an understanding of the role of a governing board,
The BCR Nominating Committee is responsible not only for soliciting candidates to run in the election, but also for determining which candidates are qualified and then selecting the nominees to run for each vacancy, with the intention of securing as broad a representation on the Board as possible in terms of geographical distribution and different types and sizes of member institutions.
Nancy White, Academy School District 20 (Colorado) is chairing this year's Nominating Committee. She is joined on the committee by Mary Anne Hansen, Montana State University Libraries; Ellen Fockler, Washoe County School District (Nevada); MaryKay Dahlgreen, Oregon State Library; and Susan Hamada, Salt Lake County Library Services (Utah). Under BCR's bylaws the committee chair is appointed from among the BCR trustees. The remaining committee members are selected from four member states, assigned alphabetically on a rotating basis each year.
Individuals from any BCR member institution are eligible to be considered by the Nominating Committee for inclusion on the election slate. The committee will present its proposed slate of candidates for approval at the February Board of Trustees meeting.
Anyone wishing to be considered for the election slate should contact BCR's Sharon Hoffhines (shoffhines at bcr.org). She will forward the information to the Nominating Committee. You may also directly contact the Nominating Committee Member from Oregon, MaryKay Dahlgreen, Oregon State Library, marykay.dahlgreen at state.or.us BCR members also may assure that a write-in candidate for the Board is automatically added to the slate by sending the written permission of the nominee and the signatures of 10 voting BCR members to BCR. Contact Hoffhines for a write-in nomination form. Once completed, the form may be faxed to (303) 751-9787.
The deadline for submitting the names of potential nominees to the committee for consideration is January 30.
Watch for updated information about the Board election on the BCR Board elections Web page (http://www.bcr.org/membership/elections/boardelections.html).

Hi,
Here's some information about the 2009 Improving Literacy Through School Libraries (LSL) grants. Some of you may have seen an ALA announcement on the topic within a recent Libs-Or post about Children's Books and CPSIA. Please excuse cross-postings.
Purpose of the Grant: Money awarded may be used for school library media centers on books, technology, professional development, and expanding access (like weekend hours). http://www.ed.gov/programs/lsl/index.html
1st Eligibility Requirement: Only local education agencies (LEA) may apply, the most common form of which is a school district. Click here and read question #3 for a broader definition: http://www.ed.gov/programs/lsl/faq.html. After checking on the 2nd requirement, please consider forwarding this email to the person/people in charge of grants in your local school district.
2nd Eligibility Requirement: At least 20% of students within the LEA must be from families with incomes below the poverty line. Click on Oregon for a chart indicating which districts qualify: http://www.ed.gov/programs/lsl/eligibility.html. Data being used in the 2009 competition comes from the 2007 census.
Applications due March 6th: Note that registration at grants.gov can take up to a week, so you might want to get applications in no later than the end of February.

From: Michael Dowling
Reply-To: alacro-l at ala.org
To: ,
Chicago -- A new web-based resource has just been released that
will help library advocates make the case for libraries during times
of economic downturn. The "Advocating in a Tough Economy" toolkit is
available at www.ala.org/tougheconomytoolkit
.
"With city, county, state and federal budgets under increasing pressure,
we need to be making the case for libraries more than ever. All too
often, libraries are the first to receive budget cuts. Funders need to
understand the essential role that libraries play in our society and
economy, with usage up significantly, and increasing numbers of people
coming to libraries for job-related services, for access to government
assistance programs, and as a way of making their money go further."
says Keith Michael Fiels, ALA Executive Director. "The new toolkit will
arm librarians and library supporters with the facts and strategies they
need to speak out effectively for libraries in this tough economy,"
The toolkit contains information on how to work with
decision-makers, ways to work with the media, and talking points to help
libraries articulate the role of libraries in times of economic
downturn. Talking points on the economic value of libraries, with
return-on-investment examples; libraries and the economy; and upswings
in library usage are included. Users are also invited to share their
stories of how they have successfully advocated. Recent media coverage
of libraries is also featured.
This resource is part of the "Advocacy U", ALA's new initiative geared
to providing tools, training and resources to library advocates achieve
real advocacy goals in real situations at the local level. Learn more at
www.ala.org/advocacyuniversity .
"The Advocating in a Tough Economy Toolkit" is also a
work in process. Updates and improvements will be implemented as new
information and new success stories become available.

Hello,
The Willa Award is given out to authors each year from the organization
Women Writing in the West. http://www.womenwritingthewest.org/ I am
recruiting librarian reviewers for the annual award. The process is
that another panel identifies up to five books for each category, and
then each reviewer is sent those titles, for keeps, in exchange for
reading and reviewing the books according to a standard matrix. The
books would arrive in May and the reviews will be due mid-July. They
are happy to pay for reviewers dinner at the annual awards ceremony if
you get yourself there, this year it is in LA.
If this sounds interesting to you, please let me know. I need reviewers
in the following categories:
Original Softcover Fiction
Creative Nonfiction
Scholarly Nonfiction
Poetry
A matrix example is attached to give you the feeling for the review
process. Thanks a lot.

Subject: [Libs-Or] Notices Inviting Applications for Federal Grants (Jan 9,
2009) many with deadlines soon
Message-ID:
Greetings all, following is some exciting federal grant opportunites of
which we received notice, but which I haven't noticed mentioned in this
forum.
My apologies if this is redundant, but some of the funding may be very
helpful for libraries here in Oregon.
Below is the highlights of federal grants now available, many with deadlines
in the VERY near future.
Please read through and see if any will help your community or
facility. Some will apply and others won't.
For example, there is a lot of money for schools which are serving a
temporary population of students homeless due to natural disaster.
There are a couple of grants for colleges. The Teaching American History
grant is not just for schools. It also includes libraries and museums.
Most of the grants listed can be for profit or non-profit agencies.
Some of these have very tight deadlines, which will need to be noted right
away to successfully meet their time requirements.
I hope this helps as one more way to overcome funding challenges and have
available more resources to further your collections.

Homeless Education Disaster Assistance Program (Federal Register:
January 9, 2009 [CFDA# 84.383A])
*******************************************************************
Summary: The Homeless Education Disaster Assistance program is a
new, one-year program authorized under the Consolidated Security,
Disaster Assistance, and Continuing Appropriations Act, 2009. This
program provides assistance to local educational agencies (LEAs) or
consortia of LEAs located within the same State whose enrollment of
homeless students has increased as a result of a natural disaster
that occurred in calendar year 2008 (2008).
Application Deadline: February 9, 2009, 4:30:00 p.m. Eastern
time.
Eligible Applicants: Under this program, eligible applicants
are LEAs that have a total of at least fifty students enrolled in
one or more grades, kindergarten through grade twelve, who became
homeless as a result of a natural disaster that occurred during
2008. Due to the limited amount of funding available under this
program, only LEAs or consortia that meet this minimum threshold
are eligible for a grant.
Determination of award amount: Congress has appropriated $15
million for this program. The Department will award these funds,
based on demonstrated need, to eligible LEAs that submit
applications that meet the requirements of this notice and of the
application package. Each LEA will receive a proportionate share
of funds based on the number of students enrolled in the LEA in
kindergarten through grade twelve who became homeless as a result
of a natural disaster that occurred in 2008. Specifically, the
Department will calculate each LEA's award amount based on the
quotient obtained by dividing the number of its students enrolled
in kindergarten through grade twelve who became homeless as a
result of a natural disaster that occurred in 2008 by the total
number of such students for all eligible LEAs submitting an
application.

Subject: further reading suggestion for 2009 Oregon Reads
Hello,
My name is Ari Phillips and I'm the marketing manager at Graphic Arts Books, located in Portland OR. This year, one of our distributed publishers, Fenwick, published a book about Bainbridge Island and the Japanese internment during WWII. The book IN DEFENSE OF OUR NIEGHBORS: THE WALT AND MILLY WOODWARD STORY by MARY WOODWARD is a beautiful homage to both the Japanese-Americans during this time as well as a reliable historical reference.
It has been reviewed by THE SEATTLE TIMES and SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL, which called the book "essential for all public libraries". The author is also very active, especially since she is the grandchild of the two main subjects of the book, and she has done numerous signings and events in the Pacific NW.
I was hoping I could be put in touch with Terrillyn Chun or anyone else who might be able to help integrate this book into the Oregon Reads 2009 program and give it some of the exposure it certainly deserves.
You can read more about the book on our website at http://www.gacpc.com/titles/title_pages/detail.asp?bookcode=INDEFE
Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you!

Subject: [Libs-Or] interesting article on multicultural communication for
libraries in American Libraries Direct 1/14/2009
Message-ID: <927A8FC4-313E-420C-B5FD-A6A686A138FA@oslmac.osl.state.or.us>
Article offers principles, practices for effective multi-cultural communication
CHICAGO - The American Library Association (ALA) Public Information Office announced the release of "Increasing Relevance, Relationships and Results: Principles & Practices for Effective Multicultural Communication-Library Edition," written by the Metropolitan Group, a leading strategic communication and resource development agency specializing in work with libraries.
The article defines eight principles and practices for effective multicultural communication, and highlights the important, integrated role multicultural communication plays in creating social change.
Click here to download "Increasing Relevance, Relationships and Results: Principles & Practices for Effective Multicultural Communication-Library Edition."
The promotion and distribution of the article is a joint effort of ALA's Public Information Office and the Metropolitan Group. Earlier this year, the Campaign for America's Libraries and the Metropolitan Group launched ALA's largest-ever bilingual advertising campaign-en tu biblioteca-promoting library usage among Latino communities across the country.
"If you are not thinking about communicating to multicultural audiences, you should be. This material offers excellent recommendations that enable communicators to effectively amplify their messages with changing audiences.," said Mark Gould, Director, Public Information Office, American Library Association. ".PIO has developed multi-cultural initatives in the past , and we felt others would find this information useful."
"Increasing Relevance, Relationships and Results: Principles & Practices for Effective Multicultural Communication-Library Edition" highlights tangible actions to demonstrate how each of the eight principles for effective multicultural communication can be applied in a library context.
It draws on the Metropolitan Group's experience working with libraries of all types and sizes and many leading nonprofit, business and public sector organizations engaged in multicultural communication, as well as its experience collaborating with and on behalf of many cultural communities and advocacy organizations.
"In our increasingly diverse world, engaging all members of our communities and cultural backgrounds has never been more critical," said Eric Friedenwald-Fishman, Metropolitan Group's president and creative director. "Effectively engaging diverse audiences is key to sustainable attracting and retaining customers, ensuring long-term voter support, increasing philanthropic support, strengthening consumer loyalty and attracting new volunteers and advocates."
The Metropolitan Group presented a workshop on this topic at the PR Forum at the ALA Annual Meeting in Anaheim, CA. in 2007.

Subject: [Libs-Or] OSLIS Down on 1/19 for Server Upgrade
Message-ID:
Hi,
The OSLIS website will not be available on Monday, January 19th between 9:00 and noon due to a server upgrade. If there are any problems with the process, the site could be offline into the early afternoon.
Over the next few months we will make additional OSLIS server and website upgrades. If the site is expected to be down for a small window of time, like half an hour, I will not make a listserv announcement. Otherwise, you will be notified about downtime in advance. Whenever possible, we schedule downtime for when a majority of students are not in school.
Thanks,

Safety Improvement Act
*Importance:* High
Dear FLLAN Network,
As you may 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
under 12 and will be enforced by the Consumer Product Safety Commission
(CPSC).
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.
As a result of these new regulations, 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 must be
tested. This situation will become even more complicated because the CPSC
has not certified any labs to administer the lead testing.
These regulations go into effect on February 10th, 2009, which means school,
academic and public libraries will be forced to either remove all children's
books from the shelves, or ban children from entering libraries completely.
We need to make sure this doesn't happen. The American Library
Association's Washington Office has been closely monitoring this situation
and communicating with Members of Congress and the Association of American
Publishers (AAP) on how to ensure that libraries are exempt from the CPSIA.
The deadline for implementation is quickly approaching, which means we need
make sure we are doing everything possible to ensure access to children's
books in our school and public libraries.
The American Library Association is considering filing a suit for
preliminary injunction against the CPSC implementing the Consumer Product
Safety Improvement Act of 2008. In order to move forward, we need your
assistance by contacting all your school and public libraries and asking
them the following questions:
- What will they have to do on or prior to February 10, 2009 to cut off
access to children's books to ensure CPSIA compliance?
- Would they be willing to file an affidavit stating the steps they will
need to take?
- If they can show that this legislation will cause them irreparable
harm, would they be willing to sign onto the suit for injunction as a
plaintiff?
As always, thank you for everything you do. This is an extremely critical
issue and your timely responses are greatly appreciated.

Cc: ALA COL
The U. S. House of Representatives released "The American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009." This is the first step in passing an economic
stimulus package to help America through the current economic crisis.
Libraries could benefit in several ways from specific funds provided in this
legislation. There is also potential for libraries to be included in
several of the programs as the process moves forward.
The full text is located at
Bill ? http://appropriations.house.gov/pdf/RecoveryBill01-15-09.pdf
Report ? http://appropriations.house.gov/pdf/RecoveryReport01-15-09.pdf
Programs Libraries benefit from:
Education for the 21st Century
K-12 Repair and Modernization
Higher Education Repair and Modernization
Rural Community Facilities Program
State Broadband Development
Community Service Employment for Older Americans
National Endowment for the Arts
Head Start/Early Head Start
Libraries need to step up their communication with all their legislators.
More details to come.

Subject: [Libs-Or] OLA 2009 Mock Caldecott Award results
Message-ID:
On Saturday, January 10, nearly 35 library staff met at the Salem
(Oregon) Public Library to learn about the Caldecott medal, the official
American Library Association process for choosing the winner and honor
books, and how to analyze the art in picture books with the Caldecott
Medal in mind. We discussed 10 outstanding picture books and then voted
on our top choices. I want to thank presenters Nell Colburn and Steven
Engelfried who opened our eyes to new ways of looking at picture book
illustration, and to Kate Carter, Ronit Fahl, and Jackie Partch for
helping me to organize the workshop, choose the discussion books, update
the handouts and act as discussion facilitators. I also want to thank BJ
Quinlan for hosting the workshop in Salem. The workshop is an annual
learning opportunity offered by the Oregon Library Association (OLA)
Children's Services Division. Please consider joining us for the 2010
workshop (date to be determined).
The honor books were:
What to Do about Alice? by Barbara Kerley and illustrated by Edwin
Fotheringham
Wabi Sabi by Mark Reibstein and illustrated by Ed Young
River of Words by Jan Bryant and illustrated by Melissa Sweet
The winner of the 2009 OLA Mock Caldecott Award was Silent Music,
written and illustrated by James Rumford.
The actual 2009 Caldecott Medal will be announced during the American
Library Association's Youth Media Awards Press Conference live Webcast
at 7:45 a.m. PST on Monday, January 26, 2009. Follow the links that will
be on the ALA homepage at www.ala.org. Find the news release at
www.ala.org/alsc later that morning. The press release linked below
provides further details about the other awards the American Library
Association presents for books and other materials for children and
teens, and the numerous ways you can access the information about the
winners, including by text message to your phone.
