From baker_april_m at oslmac.osl.state.or.us Wed Jul 1 08:05:17 2009 From: baker_april_m at oslmac.osl.state.or.us (April Baker) Date: Wed, 1 Jul 2009 08:05:17 -0700 Subject: [Libs-Or] Letter To Libraries Online - July 2009 Message-ID: Letter To Libraries Online An Electronic Newsletter from the Oregon State Library.......Volume 19, Issue 7, July 2009 Library Board News STATE LIBRARY BOARD APPROVES MOVING FORWARD WITH DATABASE LICENSE At their meeting in Milton-Freewater on June 19th, the State Library Board accepted the recommendation of the Library Services and Technology Act Advisory Council that negotiations proceed with Gale/Cengage for the next general periodicals statewide database license. Despite concerns raised by some in the library community, the Board voted to accept the results of the procurement process that was led by the State Procurement Office with assistance from the Statewide Database Licensing Advisory Council. In other business the Board invited organizations that submitted 21 LSTA grant proposals for 2010 to submit full applications by the August deadline. The 21 proposals for first and second year grants totaled over $1.1 million. The Board also approved a plan to spend $100,000 in donations to Talking Book and Braille Services in 2009-10 on a variety of projects to enhance and promote the service. Included is a plan to spend $22,500 to promote the new digital talking books. STATE LIBRARY BUDGET AND SCHOOL LIBRARY BILL PASS IN THE LEGISLATURE In the final days of the 2009 Legislative Assembly, the State Library's budget for 2009-11 passed easily in the House and Senate. The vote in the House was unanimous, and in the Senate only three legislators opposed the bill. The bill is a 0.5% increase to the current biennial budget. It funds the Ready to Read Grant program at 95 cents per child per year, down from $1 per child in this biennium. One vacant position was eliminated in Talking Book and Braille Services. Funds were added to fund 2.5 FTE in Library Development with state funds instead of LSTA funds, to comply with a directive from the Institute of Museum and Library Services that the state fund more of the administrative costs of the LSTA program. Another important bill endorsed by the State Library Board was HB 2586. It passed the House unanimously on June 26th and passed unanimously in the Senate on the last day of the session. This bill will require all Oregon school districts to plan for a strong school library program and will also make school libraries eligible for grants to improve student achievement from the Oregon Department of Education. BOARD ELECTS NEW OFFICERS FOR 2009-10 At their June 19th Board meeting, the State Library Board elected Sue Burkholder of Eugene as the new Board Chair. Burkholder is a retired librarian. She served for many years as the director of the library at Southern Oregon University. She will take over the Chair's position from M. Yvonne Williams who retired from the State Library Board at the end of June, having served two terms. Burkholder was recently appointed to her second term on the Board by Governor Kulongoski. The Board also elected Richard Turner of Portland to serve as Vice-Chair of the Board. Turner has been a member of the Board since 2005. He works at the Oregon Commission for the Blind and is an active user of Talking Book and Braille Services. State Library News TALKING BOOK AND BRAILLE SERVICES CELEBRATES 40 YEARS AT THE OREGON STATE LIBRARY July 1, 2009 marks the 40th anniversary of Talking Book and Braille Services providing service to libraries and citizens of Oregon through the Oregon State Library. In 1969, Talking Books moved from the Multnomah County Library in Portland to the Oregon State Library's Church Street Annex in Salem. Talking Book and Braille Services has seen a number of changes in the last forty years, especially in the area of technology. Since coming to the State Library, talking books have been available on recorded discs, 4-track cassettes, and finally digital flash-drive cartridges later this year. As TBABS unveils the new digital players and books, we look forward to continuing our partnerships with libraries around the state in providing talking book and Braille service to eligible Oregonians. Other Library News EOU GETS FUNDING FOR PIERCE LIBRARY IMPROVEMENT In the waning days of the Legislative Session, Eastern Oregon University was successful in getting $8 million in funding for improvements to the Pierce Library. The Library, which was built in the 1950's, is the only library in the Oregon University System that has not seen major improvements in recent years. EOU has been trying for several legislative sessions to get support for an improvement project. The Pierce Library is named for former Governor Walter Pierce and for his wife, Cornelia Marvin Pierce, the first Oregon State Librarian. UO LIBRARIES GETS MAJOR NEH GRANT FOR DIGITAL NEWSPAPER PROJECT On June 19th, the National Endowment for the Humanities announced that the University of Oregon Libraries will receive a $349,042 grant for their Oregon Digital Newspaper Project. The Project has already received an LSTA grant from the State Library and another grant from the Oregon Heritage Commission. The Project's goal is to make the history of Oregon accessible to citizens by creating an online historic newspaper collection. Newspapers will be digitized from the microfilm masters at the UO, selected from the years 1860 to 1922. The grant to UO Libraries was one of only seven grants made by the NEH this year as part of it's National Digital Newspaper Program. The Library of Congress is also a partner in the Program. The newspapers digitized by UO will eventually be added to a national collection, the Chronicling America website, which recently added its millionth page of content. VISIT A GREAT PAST LSTA GRANT PROJECT - UNIVERSITY OF OREGON / PERCENT FOR ART STATEWIDE DIGITAL COLLECTION Since the late 1970s, the State of Oregon has required that state-funded building projects with construction budgets over $100,000 include funding for site-specific art. The University of Oregon Libraries teamed with the Oregon Arts Commission to create a digital repository of images and related documentation of the art and its settings. The site offers browsing by artist, subject, project locations, and award year, as well as searching by keyword and controlled vocabulary. It also includes a map of projects across the state. If you are going to be vacationing in the state, take a look at the site and then visit some great public art. P.S. (From the State Librarian) In honor of Oregon's Sesquicentennial, I continue to devote my column to brief sketches of early Oregon libraries. The beginnings of library service in 19th Oregon is interesting and deserves to be better known and appreciated by people who work in libraries today. The Multnomah Circulating Library, located in Oregon City, was the first community subscription library in the Oregon country. It was created to serve one of the first communities established in the Oregon country, sometime around 1840. William H. Gray, who was a former member of the Whitman Mission, and who would go on to write the first history of Oregon, was the organizer of this library, located in his home. He describes the founding of the library as follows: "One hundred shares were taken at five dollars a share; three hundred volumes of old books [were] collected and placed in this institution . [and] one hundred dollars were sent to New York for new books which arrived the following year." In an interesting footnote, Gray reported that representatives of the Methodist Mission founded by Jason Lee "seemed anxious to keep from the library a certain class of light reading, which they appeared tenacious about." What is interesting about this library is the fact that it was founded so early in the American settlement of Oregon, when there were only a few hundred settlers in the Willamette Valley. Maybe this was the reason that the library apparently struggled to sustain itself, and there is no record of it after 1849. Subscription libraries were still the common way of establishing library service before about the middle of the 19th century, following the model established by Benjamin Franklin and his famous Library Company of Philadelphia in the 18th century. Subscription libraries had two major shortcomings. Most were hard to maintain financially, and none of them provided free books for all. They only served those who could afford a subscription. It wasn't until 1854, with the founding of the Boston Public Library, that a new model of tax-supported libraries operated by local governments, and serving everyone, would begin to take hold in the Northeast and spread across the country. The story of the Multnomah Circulating Library is not untypical in Oregon, as most of the 19th century subscription libraries struggled to survive, and many failed or were able to limp along before being taken over by local governments in Oregon beginning after 1901. - Jim Scheppke Contacts at the Oregon State Library Technical Assistance: 503-932-1004.

Greetings (please forgive any email duplication): A lawyer patron who will be chairing a statewide rural-urban task force asked what I knew about video-conference options in public libraries around the state. I told her I would ask the library community about what they make available in their own libraries or who she could contact in rural counties, cities, colleges, or universities that provide services to outside groups (I think hers is an Oregon State Bar task force, but am not positive and can find out if it matters). I'm not sure if the task force will have any money budgeted for this, but would guess they do have some, so "free" isn't necessarily a requirement. Feel free to pass this along if you know someone else who may know. It's also possible Oregon nonprofits and professional associations have facilities they would share. We'll check with LASO, AOC, TACS - other suggestions are welcome. I'll be glad to compile the info and share it. Many thanks! Laura Laura J.

The resolution reaffirms ALA?s prior stands in support of single-payer health care, and expresses our support for legislation currently before Congress. Senate Bill 703 has been introduced by my Vermont senator, Bernie Sanders, who was very helpful to libraries in opposing provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act. The resolution?s wording borrows heavily from the 2006 resolution adopted by Council. Although the resolution doesn?t express a new viewpoint for ALA, it IS important. By passing it, we lend our political support to Senator Sanders and Representative Conyers and let them know that we appreciate their efforts. And we send a signal to the president that change is important to the health of our nation?s libraries. I believe it is critical that we do this now, when decisions about health care are actually getting made. When libraries can?t afford health care coverage for their employees, they have difficulty recruiting and retaining library workers. When our towns and states have to direct more and more dollars to health care costs, they have less money to fund libraries. And when our library users face the stress of bankruptcy due to medical expenses, they have difficulty exercising their freedom to read and engaging in civic life. That?s why my state library association passed a resolution supporting single-payer, universal health care in 2006. I hope you?ll support the resolution, and I look forward to hearing any questions or concerns. I am copying this message to the Washington Office and to the chair of the Committee on Legislation. Thanks. Nancy Wilson, Vermont Chapter Councilor -- Nancy Wilson Library Director Lawrence Memorial Library 40 North St Bristol, VT 05443 *RESOLUTION ENDORSING LEGISLATIVE PROPOSALS* *FOR SINGLE-PAYER, UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE* WHEREAS, American Library Association Policy 54.20 (?Comprehensive Health Care?) states that ?ALA recognizes the importance of comprehensive health care for all Americans and its impact on libraries and their users?; and WHEREAS, The ALA joined the Universal Health Care Action Network (UHCAN) by resolution on January 18, 2005; and WHEREAS, On June 28, 2006, the ALA endorsed a resolution supporting HR 676, ?Expanded Medicare for All,? calling for a single-payer, universal health-care program; and WHEREAS, The rapidly rising cost of health-care benefits continues to inhibit the ability of libraries to create career opportunities for librarians and library workers, stunts improvements in wages, and thereby threatens the future of our profession and our libraries; and WHEREAS, The rising cost of providing health insurance has placed enormous burdens on state and local governments, making it increasingly difficulty for them to adequately fund schools and libraries; and WHEREAS, 46 million people in the United States have no health insurance; and WHEREAS, Uninsured and underinsured working people often face financial ruin in the event of a medical emergency, which negatively impacts our communities; and WHEREAS, Without good health, humankind cannot truly exercise intellectual freedom and civic engagement; and WHEREAS, A single-payer program as provided in S. 703 and H.R. 676 offers an affordable opportunity to provide needed universal and comprehensive health care coverage in the United States; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, That the American Library Association (ALA): 1. Reaffirms its support of a single-payer health-care program. 2. Endorses bills such as S. 703, ?American Health Security Act of 2009,? and H. R. 676, ?United States National Health Care Act,? which favor single-payer health care. 3. Send a copy of this resolution to the President of the United States and to all U.S. Senators and U.S. Representatives.

RUS is establishing the Broadband Initiatives Program (BIP) which may extend loans, grants, and loan/grant combinations to facilitate broadband deployment in rural areas. NTIA is establishing the Broadband Technology Opportunities Program (BTOP) which makes available grants for deploying broadband infrastructure in unserved and underserved areas in the United States, enhancing broadband capacity at public computer centers, and promoting sustainable broadband adoption projects. In facilitating the expansion of broadband communications services and infrastructure, both programs will advance the objectives of the Recovery Act to spur job creation and stimulate long-term economic growth and opportunity. DATES: Applications will be accepted between July 14, 2009 at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time (ET) until August 14, 2009 at 5:00 p.m. ET. APPLICATION SUBMISSION: The application packages for electronic and paper submissions will be available at : http://www.broadbandusa.gov . Electronic submissions: Electronic submissions of applications will allow for the expeditious review of an applicant's proposal consistent with the goals of the Recovery Act. As a result, all applicants requesting more than $1 million in assistance (in the form of grants, loans, or a combination of grants and loans) must file their application electronically. Applicants whose authorized representatives are individuals with disabilities, however, may submit a paper application irrespective of the funding size of their request.1 In addition, applicants who are requesting less than $1 million in assistance may forego the electronic filing requirement if filing electronically would impose a hardship on the applicant. Electronic applications must be submitted by 5:00 p.m. ET on August 14, 2009. The government electronic application system will provide a date and time stamped confirmation number that will serve as proof of submission. CONTACT INFORMATION: For general inquiries regarding BIP, contact David J.

Greetings (please forgive any email duplication): A lawyer patron who will be chairing a statewide rural-urban task force asked what I knew about video-conference options in public libraries around the state. I told her I would ask the library community about what they make available in their own libraries or who she could contact in rural counties, cities, colleges, or universities that provide services to outside groups (I think hers is an Oregon State Bar task force, but am not positive and can find out if it matters). I'm not sure if the task force will have any money budgeted for this, but would guess they do have some, so "free" isn't necessarily a requirement. Feel free to pass this along if you know someone else who may know. It's also possible Oregon nonprofits and professional associations have facilities they would share. We'll check with LASO, AOC, TACS - other suggestions are welcome. I'll be glad to compile the info and share it. Many thanks! Laura Laura J.

For Immediate Release Jenifer Grady June 29, 2009 jgrady at ala.org 312-280-2424 /Librarian Salary Survey/* reports mean librarian salary $58,860, median $54,500 in 2009* CHICAGO - Results from the 2009 edition of the "/ALA-APA Salary Survey: Librarian - Public and Academic/" are available in two ways -- immediately for subscribers to the /ALA-APA Library Salary Database / and in print from the American Library Association (ALA) online store . Analysis of data from more than 1,179 public and academic libraries showed the mean salary for librarians with ALA-accredited master's degrees reported decreased less than 1 percent from 2008, down $100 to $58,860. The median ALA MLS salary was $54,500, 2 percent higher than in 2008, and salaries ranged from $22,000 to $256,800. ALA-APA thanks all the library staff who completed the survey on behalf of their institutions and state data coordinators and ALA state chapter Councilors who alerted libraries. Published by the American Library Association-Allied Professional Association (ALA-APA) in cooperation with the ALA Office for Research and Statistics, the survey shows aggregated data from more than 17,018 (a 5 percent increase over 2008) individual salaries of ALA MLS librarians. The six librarian positions are directors/deans, associate/assistant directors, department heads, managers of support staff, librarians who do not supervise and beginning librarians. The 2009 response rate of libraries participating was 33 percent, an improvement of four points over 2008. Almost 3,600 libraries were in the sample asked to respond. Responding libraries this year received a 30-day subscription to the "/Library Salary Database/" and a 25-percent discount off the print edition. The "/Library Salary Database/" includes data from 2006 to the present for more than 60 librarian and non-MLS positions, which can be searched by state, eight library types and four regions. The survey gives national-level mean and quartile data. The printed reports include analysis of salary trends and an extensive appendix of other sources of compensation data within and outside of the library profession. The "/Librarian Salary Survey/" continues more than 25 years of collecting and reporting salary data for six positions requiring an ALA-accredited master's degree in library science. The survey was completed with consultation from Denise M. Davis, director of the ALA Office for Research and Statistics and conducted by The Management Association of Illinois. Libraries may purchase the "/ALA-APA Salary Survey: Librarian - Public and Academic" //from the ALA Store at $81/ for ALA members/$90 for non-members.

Make a call TODAY. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Roger Hickey, Campaign for America's Future Date: Wed, Jul 8, 2009 at 6:04 AM Subject: National Call Congress Day For Health Care To: dconkling at charter.net [image: Campaign For America's Future] *OurFuture.org* Dear Diedre, *National Call Congress Day For Health Care* Congress is back in session and health care is at the top of the agenda. Special interests are still conspiring to cut the heart out of President Obama's plan: the public plan option. But grassroots pressure has already overcome corporate dollars to bring around Sens. Arlen Specter and Kay Hagan. Today, we can build on our success and participate in a national effort led by Health Care for America Now! to call Congress and demand real health care reform. *Make your voice heard. GO? * *No month will be as critical as this month of July* in the fight to win health care for all. The House and Senate are back in session furiously working to finish legislation before they adjourn again in early August. Prospects for a public plan option are improving, thanks to increasing grassroots pressure. But the *massive lobbying effort from the insurance and drug companies is far from finished*, and several key Senators have yet to take a stand. All day today, millions will be calling Congress to demand real health care reform, part of nationwide grassroots effort led by Health Care for America Now! *Click here to tell your Member of Congress: the time is now for real health care reform with a public plan option. * Our grassroots voices have already made health care for all even closer to reality. Two weeks ago after a major health care rally, *Sen. Arlen Specter newly embraced a public plan*. Last week, Sen. Kay Hagan hesitated from supporting the Senate HELP committee bill which included a public plan option, until MoveOn.org urged her constituents to express their disapproval. Soon after, *Sen. Hagan endorsed the bill*. The lesson: when we mobilize the grassroots, we make democracy work for the common good. *Click here to tell your Member of Congress: the time is now for real health care reform with a public plan option. * Will those drafting legislation listen to the *$126 million that insurance companies, drugmakers and other private health industries have spent on lobbyists* this year alone to cut the heart out of President Obama's proposal? Or will they listen to the millions of Americans who want and need a public health plan option that will fully expand coverage and dramatically lower costs? *Click here to tell your Member of Congress: the time is now for real health care reform with a public plan option. * We are so close. You are the real champions of the health care debate and we are getting close to the finish line. Let's get it done.

This information will be used to help develop appropriate learning experiences for current and future practitioners. We hope that you will help our data collection effort by forwarding this message to your association's list serve. The survey asks participants to rank the appropriateness of a variety of possible roles that have been identified for librarians. The answers should reflect your personal opinion about the appropriateness of the roles; they do not need to reflect an actual role that you have played. You will also have a chance to provide more detailed comments about additional roles that you believe librarians could/should play in emergency planning and response activities. The survey should take no more than 10 minutes to complete. Data will be kept confidential, and the results of the survey will only be reported in the aggregate. Here is a link to the survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=0ir_2f1rFDWnsCUJDhitFL3w_3d_3d If you have any questions regarding the survey or the research project, please contact: Dr. Lisl Zach Assistant Professor The iSchool at Drexel 3141 Chestnut Street Philadelphia, PA 19104-2875 lisl.zach at ischool.drexel.edu -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This report continues a series of annual reports to the Nation on conditions affecting children in the United States. The National Center for Education Statistics within the Institute of Education Sciences, in cooperation with 21 other federal agencies, contributes indicators to the report and supports its production. According to the report's section on education, performance of 4th and 8th graders in mathematics is at an all time high and performance in reading improved between 2005 and 2007. Not all the report's findings were positive, however; the percentage of children ages 3-5 who were read to every day in the last week by a family member declined, from 60 percent in 2005, to 55 percent in 2007. The report noted that this percentage is slightly higher than the proportion of 53 percent in 1993, but the rate has fluctuated in intervening years. The report has three demographic background measures and 40 selected indicators to describe the population of children and depict child well-being in the areas of family and social environment, economic circumstances, health care, physical environment and safety, behavior, education, and health. This year's report has a special feature on children with special health care needs. You can view, download, and print the report at http://childstats.gov/ To obtain hard copy of many IES products as well as hard copy and electronic versions of hundreds of other U.S. Department of Education products please visit http://www.edpubs.org or call 1-877-433-7827 (877-4-EDPUBS).

For one year only, Library Advocacy Day will replace National Library Legislative Day (NLLD). On June 28, 2010, library advocates from all 50 states will meet at Upper Senate Park on the U.S. Capitol grounds. The event, which will begin at 1 p.m., will feature guest speakers, photo ops, and a chance to cheer on libraries! After the rally, participants will meet with their elected officials and their staffs. To make this event a success, we will need NLLD coordinators? and FLLAN?s help. As with NLLD, we?ll still need NLLD coordinators? assistance to coordinate their state?s activity and to set up meetings in Congressional offices. The states with the most people will be featured front and center, commitment?which means they are the ones that will be in the majority of pictures. We also need to need a renewed to getting more advocates involved. This is an exciting, one-time opportunity that we hope will help us build wider NLLD participation in the years to come.

Highline Community College is one of the approved education providers for the LSSCP. The reference class listed below will satisfy the LSSCP's competency set in reference. In this evaluation phase staff who think they will be going after the LSSCP certification would only pay $250 to enroll for certification in contrast to the expected fee of $350 once the program officially begins. In return for the reduced price students would commit to giving feedback about the reference course and answering some evaluation surveys. After paying the LSSCP enrollment fee one has 4 years in which to complete six competency sets. For more information about LSSCP go to the website at www.ala-apa.org/lsscp. There will be a method for gaining credit for experience through a portfolio system in addition to taking classes. The American Library Association approved the LSSCP certification program on July 13th so the website will be updated with each passing day-this information is very new!

ASCAP has been known for being really agressive about this. I even know of some places that have completely closed because the threat of the law suits were too much for the owners to deal with. It is very similar to what happens with the movie licenses that libraries carry so that they can show movies to audiences at the library. It is not very surprising that they would also approach libraries that frequently have musical performances.

The American Library Association Washington sent a letter to Assistant Secretary of Commerce Larry Strickling Friday stating that the first-round Notice of Funds Availability (NOFA) to implement the Broadband Technologies Opportunities Program (BTOP) raises significant concerns and creates hurdles for libraries considering applying for broadband funding. According to the ALA, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) gives libraries, as anchor institutions, priority, but the NOFA in effect de-prioritizes libraries and discourages them from applying for funding in a number of ways. The application of the unserved and underserved limitations to libraries essentially disqualifies a significant proportion from applying for broadband infrastructure funds. Libraries located in urban and suburban communities will be unduly penalized even though they are well-positioned to provide Internet access via broadband connectivity to everyone in their community. While the ALA regards the ARRA as an invaluable opportunity to build out high-speed, future-proof connectivity (such as fiber-optic technology) to all public libraries in the country, the NOFA raises considerable barriers to the realization of this vision. Specifically, the NOFA discourages the promotion and prioritization of high-speed connectivity by adopting a single definition of broadband (768 kbps download) that is simply inadequate for libraries ? now and in the future. In addition, investment in high-speed connectivity (such as fiber and other technologies), is not favorably supported by the NOFA?s current scoring system. The library community is hopeful that subsequent NOFA funding opportunities will take into consideration this contradiction in the ARRA?s intent and the NOFA?s application. ?Inclusion of libraries in the build-out of the broadband infrastructure will contribute towards a more cohesive and efficient network infrastructure for America?s communities and help ensure that high-speed broadband will reach the greatest percentage of the population,? Emily Sheketoff, executive director of the ALA Washington Office, states in the letter. The ALA?s letter to Strickling can be viewed here . ### -- Diedre Conkling Lincoln County Library District P.O.

Presentation Format The ACRL Washington board is now accepting proposals for concurrent sessions. Sessions will be approx. 60 minutes long. Please indicate the format your session would take: presentation, workshop, discussion, panel discussion, etc. Sessions should address the conference theme but may relate to any aspect of academic librarianship, including: o Reference / Instruction o Collections / Liaison Work o Outreach / Advocacy o Marketing / Public Relations o Partnerships / Collaborations o Assessment / Strategic Planning Proposal Requirements The proposal should include author's name, email address, institution, abstract (300 words or less), presentation format, and any technical support required. Please include the contact information for all presenters if you are working in a group. Submission Deadline Proposals must be received by July 30th, 2009 to be considered.

From cd_df_morgan at msn.com Tue Jul 28 19:30:46 2009 From: cd_df_morgan at msn.com (Candace Morgan) Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2009 19:30:46 -0700 Subject: [Libs-Or] Leah Griffith's questions about the use of music and movies in library programming Message-ID: Leah Griffith asked some very important questions about copyright implications of public performances in public libraries. I am not an attorney, but here is what I have learned about this subject. 1. We do pay performers to perform music at our libraries. We don't charge the audience, but we pay the performers either musicians or jugglers that may use background music etc. Does this mean we need licensing/royalties? One of the conditions for the use of 17 USC 110(4) is that no payment is made directly for the performance. If the use does not meet the requirements for Fair Use (17 USC 107) and does not qualify for the exemption you do need to get permission directly from the copyright owner or pay royalties. Using entire copyrighted works in a public performance would be very unlikely to qualify for fair use. However, let's say you are having a program on the history of jazz and the performer plays small parts of musical works to support her arguments. You would need to analyze all four fair use factors but this use might be fair meaning you would not need to pay to use each piece. Also if your staff presents the program as a part of their duties the exemption would apply if all other conditions are met. 2. So we pay licensing for showing movies because they are "dramatic" literary works (Section 4)? Yes if the movie is a dramatic literary work. However, not all movies are dramatic. Documentaries may qualify for the exemption - see the information on the difference between dramatic & nondramatic in the document I posted to libs-OR. You do have other alternatives - look for a movie in the public domain. One place to find them is http://www.openflix.com /; look for a movie with a Creative Commons License http://creativecommons.org/ that allows noncommercial use; purchase movies that include the right to use in a public performance. 3. It seems that copyright and licensing might be two different things. You are correct. The copyright owner has a number of exclusive rights that are distinct from ownership of a work. You buy a work and you can use for its intended purpose (reading, for example). However, the sale does not transfer exclusive rights like public performance. Despite that if the use of a work is a fair use as defined by law (Section 107) or falls within one of the other limits / exceptions to copyright law you do not have to have permission of the owner. The law allows the owner to transfer any or all of the exclusive rights. One of the ways to do this is a license. Licenses are governed by state law. If you have acquired a licensed work fair use and other exemptions in federal law do not apply unless the license agreement (or terms of use) includes the concepts of fair use. Note - because of another section of copyright law called First Sale (Section 109) - if you lawfully acquire a work you can sell it, give it away, or lend it without violating the exclusive rights. That is how American libraries can circulate books and other library materials. 4. It does seem like something that should be more of a black and white answer and it always seems pretty grey. Again - you are correct. Copyright law is very complex. Much of it is deliberately vague (especially fair use). Whether a use is fair can only be determined in light of the facts related to the work and the intended use. I am aware that some local governments purchase licenses from ASCAP and BMI for all public performances sponsored by their departments. Presumably they are doing so after consulting an attorney who is well versed in copyright law. Not all institutional attorneys are. So it is important that library staff have enough knowledge to ask questions and to consider whether there alternatives to accomplish the desired goal. I hope this helps - I am happy to respond to other questions within the range of my knowledge.

Watzek Library at Lewis & Clark College is pleased to announce that *Lizbeth (Betsy) Wilson*, Dean of University Libraries at the University of Washington, Seattle, will present the 2009 Johannah Sherrer Memorial Lecture in Library Service on Friday, September 25 at 3pm on the campus of Lewis & Clark College. The abstract of Dean Wilson's lecture, entitled "*Straws in the Wind: Emerging Models of Library Service*" is below: The service models that defined excellence in academic libraries throughout the 20th century have been challenged by the transformation in information search and discovery, changes in scholarly publishing and distribution, a new generation of faculty and students with any time any place expectations, the rise of consortial and collaborative approaches, e-everything, network scale libraries and processes, and an economic crisis of historic proportions. There are enough straws bending (perhaps even breaking) in the wind to prompt a fundamental redefinition of excellence in academic libraries in the 21st century. This lecture will present a compelling case for new models of library service, a lively examination of early pilots and exemplars, and collective opportunities for innovation and exploration. Additional details are forthcoming. The Johannah Sherrer Memorial Lecture was established in 1999 to commemorate the contributions and legacies of a respected friend, colleague, and champion of service. Johannah was the Director of the Aubrey R. Watzek Library at Lewis & Clark College from July 1993-September 1998.

I am the Consumer Health Coordinator for the National Network of Libraries of Medicine, Pacific Northwest Region (NN/LM PNR). Our office, located at the University of Washington in Seattle, represents the National Library of Medicine to five states: Alaska, Idaho, Oregon,Montana, and Washington. My niche is working with other information professionals who are interested in serving the general public, especially surrounding issues of access to quality health information. I received my MLIS degree from the University of Washington in 1999. Prior to becoming a librarian, I worked as a social worker in long-term care (nursing homes). In addition to my work for NN/LM, I occasionally work as a substitute reference librarian for the Pierce County Library System in Washington state. When not working with health information intermediaries, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, participating in church activities, running, working out at the local gym, and taking part in a book club. Alison Aldrich: Hello! I am the Technology Outreach Coordinator for the National Network of Libraries of Medicine, Pacific Northwest Region (NN/LM PNR). My job is to stay on top of emerging technologies and to assist librarians in putting those technologies to use. Outreach to the public health workforce is another important part of what I do.

I received a Master of Science in Information degree from the University of Michigan in 2003 and a Master of Public Health degree from Wright State University in 2006.
