From April.M.Baker at state.or.us Tue Sep 1 08:03:40 2009 From: April.M.Baker at state.or.us (April Baker) Date: Tue, 1 Sep 2009 08:03:40 -0700 Subject: [Libs-Or] Letter to Libraries Online - September 2009 Message-ID: <93EEE4BF-BF5D-43B1-AD61-B09B26D0C50D@state.or.us> Letter To Libraries Online An Electronic Newsletter from the Oregon State Library.......Volume 19, Issue 9, September 2009 Library Board News GOVERNOR KULONGOSKI SIGNS SCHOOL LIBRARY BILL On July 28th Governor Kulongoski signed House Bill 2586 into law. The bill, which had strong support from the Oregon Library Association, the Oregon Association of School Libraries, and the State Library Board, will require all Oregon school districts to plan for a strong school library program. It will also make school libraries eligible for a grant program at the Oregon Department of Education that is designed to improve student achievement. The bill goes into effect on January 1, 2010. The bill was sponsored by State Representative Peter Buckley of Ashland at the suggestion of Anne Billeter, a constituent who is a retired librarian and a past president of OLA. The bill had 28 co-sponsors from both parties. It drew no opposition and passed unanimously in both the House and the Senate. "Passing HB 2586 was a tremendous accomplishment in the most difficult legislative session in decades," commented State Librarian Jim Scheppke. "Now we have a clear state policy that strong school libraries are essential for all of our schools." State Library News OREGON FEDERAL DEPOSITORY LIBRARIES IN THE GPO SPOTLIGHT Each month the Government Printing Office (GPO) highlights the exceptional activities of federal depository libraries as they promote citizen access to government information. In September, the GPO Spotlight shines on Oregon. GPO commends the collaborative effort of four depository libraries, Oregon State Library, Oregon State University's Valley Library, Portland State University Library, and University of Oregon's Knight Library, to share the state's Regional Federal Depository Collection. GPO's recognition salutes the depository librarians whose efforts have helped to ensure permanent and responsive access to the state's federal information resources.

FINDING INFORMATION ON STATE OF OREGON WEBSITES JUST GOT EASIER, CHEAPER, AND MORE ACCURATE The Oregon State Library, in cooperation with the Department of Administrative Services, is happy to announce the new search engine for the State of Oregon web portal, which has been in place since July 28th. The new search engine, using Google Custom Search, represents a significant cost savings for the state. Google Custom Search was selected not just for the cost savings for the state, but also based on positive feedback from other states that use it. Google Custom Search is a proven technology that returns better results in a format that users are familiar with, and allows agencies to organize their own information. In addition, Google handles the hosting duties at no cost to the state. We also benefit from access to Google's innovation and the work of other Google Custom Search engine users. LIBRARIES TRANSITION TO GALE/CENGAGE LEARNING DATABASES Effective September 1, 2009 the general periodicals database product provided to public, academic, tribal, and school libraries will be a suite of databases from Gale/Cengage Learning. In early August a transition website was established. Currently all public, academic and tribal libraries can use that website to retrieve URLs for their websites that will allow their patrons to access the databases both in their local library and remotely. As has been the practice in the past, K-12 school libraries will have access to statewide databases via OSLIS, the Oregon School Library Information System. A number of "Welcome to Gale" webinars were presented in August and the State Library staff is currently arranging on-site training around the state for September, October and November. That information will be available on the Library Development web page as soon as those arrangements are confirmed. In addition to Oregon specific training, library staff are encouraged to visit the Gale website for information about the databases, additional webinar opportunities targeting specific databases, and training/marketing materials to download. In September and October the LSTA Advisory Council and the Oregon State Library Board will be considering the staff recommendation that LSTA funds be used to pay the entire cost of the databases, eliminating the need for library payments.

The Year 1 Summary of Findings primarily report statistics on RFHF participants and the number of early literacy education sessions they have provided to families. Due to the fact that Year 1 participants have until January 2010 to fulfill their commitment of providing early literacy education to 15 families, this evaluation is inconclusive about the impact of RFHF on children and families. However, NPC Research found that families receiving RFHF early literacy education from Healthy Start family support workers reported a significant increase in telling stories or talking with their children about daily activities compared to families who did not receive RFHF early literacy education. Telling stories and talking about daily activities develops vocabulary and narrative skills, two of the six early literacy skills children need to learn to read. The second year of Reading for Healthy Families begins this month. Counties invited to participate this year include: Clatsop, Columbia, Tillamook, Yamhill, Lane, Douglas, Coos, Curry, Klamath, Lake, Deschutes, Crook, and Jefferson. Please visit the RFHF Website to find out when training was or will be offered in your county. Please contact Katie Anderson with any questions. COMMUNITY-WIDE READS PROGRAMS AND TBABS After the success of 2009's Oregon Reads program, we know that your library is looking forward to your own Community-wide reading programs in 2010. Talking Book and Braille Services wants to be sure that you are aware of exactly how we can help you serve all of the patrons in your service area with books for your programs. When it comes time to plan your Community-wide Reads program, please contact us at Talking Books. We will do our best to make sure that we have your selected title on hand. Then, we will send letters to all of our mutual patrons notifying them of your event and directing them to your library's website and contact information. We will then compile a list of interested people in your area and then make sure that each and every one of our mutual, print-disabled, patrons has a copy of your Community-wide Reads program's book in time for the event. In order to make this a success though, we must have your help. Please contact Elke Bruton at 503-378-5455 as soon as you've chosen a title for your Reads program. Sometimes books are not yet published in our format, but we can facilitate their production if we have good reasons and enough notice. LSTA WANTS YOU!

Try using Northwest Central - the user-driven site for library continuing education. State Library staff added the Gale database training information to the many regional training events listed. The Northwest Central site was created with an LSTA grant, and is finishing a redesign and improvement project with another LSTA grant. Anyone in the library community can create a login and easily add information about training events or training materials of any kind. Use the site to plan training for your area's libraries. Librarians have always shared their resources, now we can share expertise across the Northwest - urban and rural areas alike. Your imagination is the only limit to the possibilities of this site! 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 century Oregon is interesting and deserves to be better known and appreciated by people who work in libraries today. The history of the University of Oregon Libraries in the 19th century is interesting in that it echoes the struggle for adequate funding that our Oregon University System libraries have experienced even to the present day. The beginnings of the UO Libraries was told in a 1926 essay by Mirpah Blair, a librarian at the State Library. I will let her tell it here: "When the University of Oregon opened in 1876, it was entirely without library facilities, but during the second year students of the institution through their literary societies purchased a collection of about 500 volumes from the Eugene Library Association, and arranged to care for them. The Eugene Library Association was formed on February 7, 1874 . [but] while it had an auspicious start, it lasted only a short time. The University collection increased very slowly and was inadequate to meet the needs of the school. Finally Henry Villard came to the rescue and his offer of help is given in a letter to the Board of Regents dated October 25, 1881 . in which Mr. Villard states: ". I will give one thousand dollars for the foundation of a Library for the University. I will personally undertake to have the most suitable works of reference selected by competent experts. " In 1883 Mr. Villard gave property valued at $50,000 to constitute a perpetual endowment fund for the University and stipulated that from the annual income not less than four hundred dollars was to be expended regularly for building up the library. For eighteen years this four hundred dollars was the main source of funds as the State made no appropriation." So we see from Blair's account that there is a long tradition of less than adequate state support for Oregon's research libraries. By the way, Henry Villard was a very interesting and influential figure in late 19th century Oregon history. His Memoirs in two volumes are available on Google Books (curiously, written in the third person). Here's what Villard has to say on this same subject: "Oregon had an institution which went by the name of University, of which it represented, however, but a very small beginning. It had received little support either from the State or from the public, and was so embarrassed by indebtedness that it would probably have been obliged to close its doors, had not Mr. Villard come to its relief by paying its floating debt in response to an appeal from the Board of Regents. He also presented it with the nucleus of a library." - Jim Scheppke Contacts at the Oregon State Library Technical Assistance: 503-932-1004.

Message-ID: <47434.216.110.210.59.1251844507.squirrel@mail.cclsd.org> As we plan for a new expansion of our library, we continue to look for ways to keep our 'tweens and teens using the library. We currently have a YA collection of print & audio materials with tables & chairs. The collections circulate and YAs do use the area, but not as much as they use other areas of the library - such as the technology center and general stacks. While the entire library has wireless capabilities, we plan to locate internet stations in the new area along with more appealing casual and study seating arrangements. As is often the case, plans formulated some time ago are now being reconsidered Staff observations in their travels to other libraries prompt me to ask these questions to those of you who have successfully created YA havens in your libraries: What age group frequents the YA area? What does your YA space entail? (computer/Internet stations, laptop plug-ins, charging stations, materials collection, games, group study areas, casual seating, etc) For what purposes do YAs use the YA space? Computer use, homework, reading, socializing Is the area staffed? By a YA librarian? Do YAs (or subgroups) congregate elsewhere in the library instead? What have you found effective in making the YA area appealing and engaging to young people? I have been to several libraries with lovely YA areas, but very few actual YA users. I believe this could be attributed to many things (besides time of day) - filtered internet; not cool to expect middle schoolers and high schoolers to hang in same space; lack of staff (or presence of!); location of YA area; and who knows what else! Anyway, having been a YA advocate throughout my career, I am always pushing for quality service for this demographic. Programming and outreach attempts have been met with tepid enthusiasm, yet the teens ARE here, using the library. Am I out of touch? I've been pushing for a revamp and expansion of this area, but I don't want to "build it" and find out "they WON'T come!" Please share your experiences! Any words of wisdom, sage advice, voices of experience, or relevant fodder greatly appreciated!

In the first application window, Oregon nonprofits may apply between August 1 and September 30, 2009 for program requests that fall between November 1, 2009 and February 28, 2010. The catalog, instructions for host organizations, and downloadable application form are available at www.oregonhumanities.org. The 2009?10 Conversation Project lineup features seventeen programs presented by sixteen scholars from around the state. This season?s programs span diverse topics, including friendship, the future of rural communities, media literacy, and reimagining the American prison system. Scholars hail from Ashland, Corvallis, McMinnville, Portland, and Salem. Much like the current Oregon Chautauqua program, which runs through August 2009, the overarching goal of the Conversation Project will be to offer statewide opportunities for civic dialogue and humanities learning, but with a greater emphasis on contemporary issues through interactive, facilitated conversations rather than traditional scholar presentations.

The ALA applauds NTIA for the creation of BTOP in only several months after passage of the ARRA. However, the compressed time frame resulted in an application process that needs improvement. The comments outline how the application process restricts the opportunity to describe the substantive aspects of a proposed project while also mandating excessive, often redundant requirements for information collection. The Washington Office?s comments set forth recommendations for changes to the next NOFA to address these matters as well as other issues, such as improvements needed for the online application process.

Deadline: November 23, 2009 The national Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP) that develops the summer reading program for children and teens recently began developing an adult summer reading program. The 2009 Summer Reading Program Manual was the first to contain a chapter on adult summer reading programs, and Upstart/Highsmith included a small selection of adult incentives in their catalog. The 2010 Summer Reading Program Manual will also contain an adult summer reading chapter. It will be distributed to children's and teen librarians at Oregon public, tribal, and volunteer libraries in November. Please ask your children's and teen librarians about it! Today I am writing to solicit programming ideas for the adult chapter of the 2011 Summer Reading Program Manual. Please email your ideas to me by November 23, 2009. I will compile a list of ideas from Oregon, and send it to the chair of CSLP's adult summer reading manual committee. The committee will review the programming ideas they receive from the 48 member states and 2 member US territories, and select those that will appear in the 2011 Summer Reading Program Manual. Below is a description of what they are specifically looking for. In reviewing the description, I noticed that something seems to be missing. They do not seem to be asking for programming ideas that will engage English language learners and recent immigrants. Not only should we think about how to engage this population in summer reading activities, they may be the key to developing rich programs around the 2011 theme of world culture and travel. Although it is not listed below, I encourage you to send ideas for engaging ELL and recent immigrants in the adult summer reading program. On that note, send all your great ideas even if they aren't specifically requested in the description. Thank you, Katie Katie Anderson, Library Development Services * Youth Services Consultant * Oregon Center for the Book Coordinator * Oregon State Library, 250 Winter St. NE, Salem, OR 97301 katie.anderson at state.or.us, 503-378-2528 What: Call for Programming Ideas When: Due November 23, 2009 For: 2011 CSLP Adult Summer Library Program Manual Theme: World Culture and Travel Slogan: Novel Destinations Below you'll find some of the ideas suggested for the 2011 Adult Manual on the theme, "Novel Destinations." The overall theme for 2011 is Global/World Cultures/Travel. The Children's slogan is "One World-Many Stories, the Teen's slogan is "You Are Here." I am especially interested in your ideas for: Underserved populations such as seniors, assisted living and nursing home residents Setting the Scene: library decorations, bulletin boards, props, etc. Family literacy and family programs If your library has presented any successful programs that fit this theme, please tell me about them. If you think of any other programs, decorations, activities, send them in! Thanks!

Of course it isn't just about twitter and records management, it is about all kinds of social media and a whole range of policy and strategy implications. It is tough for legal and policy frameworks to keep up with anything that moves this fast, and organizations of all kinds are trying to deal with it. The good news is that the Federal government is doing a lot of useful work in this area that could provide some useful models for states, counties, cities, etc. Here are some links: HHS General Guidance for Utilization of New and/or Social Media (working draft) http://www.newmedia.hhs.gov/standards/ Good policy framework that could serve as a models for states, counties, etc. Note that records management is just one of several applicable policy areas: "Use of social media technologies must follow the current laws and guidelines that govern information and information technology. These statues and regulations include, but are not limited to Section 508 (accessibility), records management, privacy, usability of data, security, intellectual property, the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), and information quality." Amended Terms of Service Agreements with various social media service providers: http://www.newmedia.hhs.gov/standards/tos/ "After the General Services Administration signs Terms of Service agreements, each Federal Department signs at the cabinet-level. These signed agreements cover all offices and agencies within that Department.Status of amended terms of service" NARA's 21st Annual Records Administration Conference (RACO 2009) Collaborating Across Boundaries: Government Records and Social Media http://www.archives.gov/records-mgmt/training/raco2009.html If you want more, feel free to download this presentation on Social Media and Government: http://uoregon.edu/~bonamici/OAGITM/ The directory includes a .pdf version and a .ppt with notes.

It is OK but I certainly would not rave about it. While it does help prevent breaking the backs of journals and monographs it does not allow for a completely flat copy. We have also had to have the optics adjusted periodically because the Binder Minder sits higher than the usual glass surface. We have a comprehensive service contract and the copy company has really competent service people, so we have not been inconvenienced; but that could be a variable. ~Janet Janet Tapper, MLS Director of Learning Resources | Western States Chiropractic College W.

At the end of Andrew's presentation slides is a handy link to the Oregon State Archives general records retention schedules, http://arcweb.sos.state.or.us/recmgmt/sched/index.html. According to the FAQ, "A general schedule applies to an entire group of state or local government entities. Thus, a city general schedule applies to the records of all cities in Oregon. The only exception is if a valid 'special schedule' exists for a particular state or local government entity or an office or record within that entity. In these cases, special schedules override the requirements of a general schedule." If your library is publicly funded, your city, special tax district, school district, county, university or community college you have a public records retention schedule, and in all likelihood there is someone in charge of it. If they can't help you figure out how social media fits in, maybe you can help them by talking about what you are using it for. Are you announcing events, renewing books, or simply sharing conversation and space with your patrons? Remember that the point of all this is for government to be transparent to citizens, and that, more than practicality, should guide our policies. That old version of your website with the typos is of less interest to your patrons than the meeting minutes where you decide to stop charging overdue fines. >From what I've seen, what you say on Facebook, Twitter or Whatevr is going to fall into same category as this e-mail message from me: correspondence you keep until you delete it. But I'm with Leah, I would love to hear what the State Archives (and for my part, our local state library association) has to say about all this.

Of course it isn't just about twitter and records management, it is about all kinds of social media and a whole range of policy and strategy implications. It is tough for legal and policy frameworks to keep up with anything that moves this fast, and organizations of all kinds are trying to deal with it. The good news is that the Federal government is doing a lot of useful work in this area that could provide some useful models for states, counties, cities, etc. Here are some links: HHS General Guidance for Utilization of New and/or Social Media (working draft) http://www.newmedia.hhs.gov/standards/ Good policy framework that could serve as a models for states, counties, etc. Note that records management is just one of several applicable policy areas: "Use of social media technologies must follow the current laws and guidelines that govern information and information technology. These statues and regulations include, but are not limited to Section 508 (accessibility), records management, privacy, usability of data, security, intellectual property, the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), and information quality."

There have been a number of questions so please take note of all of the following items. This information applies to public, academic and tribal libraries. All the IP addresses have been loaded and URLs posted on the implementation website so each library needs to use those URLs to set the databases up in their library. If you have any difficulty please contact Gale technical support, either directly using the contact information on the website or using the request form at the bottom of the implementation webpage http://www.galesupport.com/oregon If your library subscribed to Gale products before the transition, your remote authentication protocol will work for the statewide products. If you are having any problem please contact Gale technical support. If your library didn't subscribe to any Gale products before the transition you will need to complete and send the form at the bottom of the implementation website http://www.galesupport.com/oregon so Gale can set up remote authentication for you. You can also directly contact Doug Hansen doug.hansen at cengage.com There has been some confusion on that item so I do apologize for not making that clear earlier. The list of databases on the implementation website is the list of databases that are included in the statewide license. There are four sample titles in the GVRL and additional titles will be added when the Oregon database committee completes their selections, we hope to have those selections made by the end of September and will make sure you are notified when those have been selected. We need a certification form from each public, academic and tribal library indicating if you will or will not be participating in the statewide database program. The form is available at http://www.galesupport.com/oregon (at the top click on "forms to complete and return") We have extended the deadline for return of those forms to September 18. Thanks to those of you who have returned your form. There have been questions about the cost of the databases to libraries. That question will not be definitively answered until the State Library Board meets on October 19th. HOWEVER the State Library staff will be recommending to the LSTA Advisory Council & Board that LSTA funds be used to pay the entire cost of the 09-10 Gale database contract since the cost will be significanlty lower than in previous years and enough funds have been budgeted to pay the cost for all public, academic, tribal and school libraries. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me and I will do my best to answer your questions or point you in the right direction for an answer.

We are a dynamic and rapidly evolving organization that values visionary thinking and the skills to translate those visions into real achievements. Our commitment to exceptional customer service relies upon a team-oriented workplace and the ability to meet the needs and interests of our ethnically, culturally and socio-economically diverse patron base. Bilingual Spanish youth librarians assist all patrons, including English and Spanish speakers, with a special emphasis on serving youth (birth through age 18), and families and organizations that work with youth. This position performs the vital tasks of matching patrons' personal, educational and recreational needs with appropriate information and resources, and fostering literacy in youth and families. Successful candidates will have excellent interpersonal, organizational, leadership and communication skills to help the library develop innovative services for the 21st century. The best candidates will be able to provide culturally appropriate services to youth and families, in addition to serving all patrons in their assigned communities. Youth librarians work closely with their branch management and fellow branch staff, and both the Youth Services and LIBROS workgroups. (LIBROS is a systemwide initiative at Multnomah County Library that connects the Spanish-speaking community with library services.) They participate on a team devoted to proactive customer service. Youth librarians must effectively, efficiently and creatively provide outstanding service and a welcoming space to the community. Experience: No experience is required; however, two years of professional youth librarian experience is desirable. Experience planning, preparing and implementing culturally sensitive programs (including storytimes) that are of interest to children, young adults, caregivers and adults working with children is preferred. Candidates must speak, write and read English and Spanish fluently. All candidates must be a member or have close affiliation, knowledge of, or extensive experience with the Latino community, demonstrated by knowledge of the traditions, values and customs of the community being served. Bilingual Spanish Youth Librarians must have: * Knowledge and understanding of theories of child and adolescent learning and development and their implications for library service from birth to high school. * Experience with current and retrospective children's and young adult literature, periodicals, audiovisual materials, websites, electronic media and other materials that constitute a diverse and relevant youth collection. * Strong cultural sensitivity and competency abilities. All applicants must have or be within three months of receiving an ALA accredited master's degree in library science.

In addition to health care reform, climate change, and Senate appropriations, this fall will see several key library issues on the Congressional agenda. As we look at the ALA legislative priorities, library advocates will need to be prepared to take action on the following issues: - Support for the Federal Research Public Access Act of 2009 ? Open access to federal funded research reports is a key element of access to government information and transparency in government; - Push for reauthorization of the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA); - Reform surveillance laws to protect patron privacy including resolution of Section 215 and related provisions in the USA PATRIOT Act, reform of national security letters and other policies; - Support for health care reform to help library budgets and cover library employees. Got questions? Want to know more about these issues? Feel free to call or email us, and, in the coming weeks, stay tuned to the District Dispatchand the ALA Legislative Action Center to become familiar with the current bills and issues and to be prepared for communicating with your senators and representatives. We?ll keep you up-to-date on these and other issues. Lynne Bradley , Director ALA Office of Government Relations 1-800-941-8478 -- Diedre Conkling Lincoln County Library District P.O.

Watzek Library at Lewis & Clark College is pleased to announce that *Lizabeth (Betsy) Wilson*, Dean of University Libraries at the University of Washington, will present the 2009 Johannah Sherrer Memorial Lecture in Library Service on *Friday, September 25* at 3 PM in Gordon Smith Hall on the campus of Lewis & Clark College. A reception will follow the lecture. Betsy's presentation, entitled "*Straws in the Wind: Emerging Models of Library Service*" is abstracted 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. For directions to campus, please see: http://www.lclark.edu/visit/directions/ For parking information, see: http://www.lclark.edu/visit/parking_and_transportation/visitor_parking/ For further information about the Sherrer Lecture, see: http://library.lclark.edu/lib/sherrer.htm We hope you are able to join us.

The American Library Association (ALA) applauds Rep. Rick Boucher (VA-D-9), chair of the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Communications, Technology and the Internet, and other subcommittee members for voicing support for providing broadband funding to anchor institutions during the second in a series of oversight hearings on the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) broadband programs held yesterday. ALA especially notes comments by Reps. Anna Eshoo (D-CA-14) and Doris Matsui (D-CA-5) that emphasized the importance of libraries and other anchor institutions in advancing the goals of stimulating broadband adoption and using Broadband Technology Opportunities Program (BTOP) and Broadband Initiatives Program (BIP) funding strategically. ?Congressional representatives asked great questions, and the administrators of the BTOP and BIP programs reported how these ARRA initiatives have gotten off to a fast start, but we believe it is essential for Congress to understand that there is not enough BTOP and BIP funding to support build-out to all unreached communities and to all vulnerable populations,? said Lynne Bradley, director of the ALA Office of Government Relations. ?While it must be a national goal to deliver broadband to every home and community, the ?best bang for the buck? during this transition is to fund local public institutions who serve broad populations, such as libraries.? The ALA asserts that, with broadband, libraries and other anchor institutions can deliver traditional services in the arenas of education, information, governance and health care services while simultaneously spurring public education and training to promote broadband adoption. Funding these anchor institutions will also generate new types of public services and applications that will further advance deployment and help connect every consumer. ?Anchor institutions, including libraries, K-12 and higher education and health care institutions are critical for the start-up and sustainability of broadband services. Our institutions can lead the national transition to broadband by benefiting the maximum number of Americans immediately through the institutions already in every community ? from rural to urban,? Bradley said. The ALA looks forward to working with the subcommittee, National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), Rural Utilities Service (RUS), Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and others to advance ?broadband for all? and to demonstrate how essential libraries are to universal access. -- Diedre Conkling Lincoln County Library District P.O.

I have been to the Flu Summit in Salem and also the local Yamhill Co. meetings. I just came back from one this morning. To get on that list contact Sara Bates, Yamhill County Preparedness Coordinator 503.434.7525. So far our plans potentially include: Sanitizing wipes at Internet and OPAC computers Gloves and masks available to staff if desired Updating our library staff phone lists and protocol for calling in sickness. Cross-training personnel to perform library tasks deemed most necessary - we have cross trained 3 people into basic circ operations. Making flu information available in the lobby, throughout the library and on our website, in English and Spanish - links to CDC and www.flu.oregon.gov, etc. Making sure all personnel have a back up plan for their most strategic duties. Making sure all volunteers know who to call and where to leave a message Stressing the need for staff to stay home when they are sick - to self-quarantine and not come back to work until they have been free of fever (and fever reducer) for 24 hours. Discussing with the city and payroll about staff that have already used up sick leave and would have to go LWOP - can they use future SL? At this point, we are not taking toys out of the children's room, do not plan to wash books and do not plan on canceling story hours. We plan to stay open and maintain our usual hours. You mentioned some ideas we had not thought about and we will consider them. Thanks.

A study released yesterday indicates that with H1N1, people continue to be contagious until coughing has stopped. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090914/ap_on_he_me/us_med_spreading_swine_flu Also, we need to remember that ordinary masks do not protect the person wearing the mask from airborne (from someone's cough or sneeze) H1N1 virus. Masks should be worn by someone who is coughing or sneezing and will help stop the spread of the virus from that person. http://www.flu.gov/vaccine/mask.html Lastly, don't forget telephones at shared workstations as another way the virus can be transmitted.

In addition, we'll be considering the following procedures that would be implemented if there were a severe outbreak in the area: 1. Signs posted on the doors explaining that patrons may be asked to leave if they are exhibiting flu symptoms (I've ordered disposable thermometers to for temperature checks--not infallible since people can take fever reducers, of course). We have a big problem with parents sending kids to the library when they're sick and we're hoping this might give us a way to cope with that problem. 2. We may hold returned books for a day before reshelving them. I've read that the virus can survive 4-8 hours on a surface and this would be a way to keep the virus from being transfered from the books--probably not a big risk, but it might be comforting to the patrons. After all, lots of people who are sick at home will have time for reading. 3. We are also working hard to recruit more volunteers and to train potential paid substitutes (something we've never had) in case of significant paid staff and volunteer absences. 4. Beyond that... education, education, education! ~Su -- Su Ikeda Library Director Creswell Library / Lane Library District 64 West Oregon Avenue PO Box 366 Creswell, Oregon 97426 (541) 895-3053 This week I?m reading Strand by Bonnie Henderson, and listening to The World Without End by Ken Follett (read by John Lee).

The Projections report -- the 37th in a series first published in 1964 -- provides national-level data on enrollment, teachers, high school graduates, and expenditures at the elementary and secondary school level. The report also provides data on enrollments in elementary and secondary schools and high school graduates for the 50 States and the District of Columbia. At the postsecondary level, it includes data on enrollment and earned degrees for the past 14 years and projections to the year 2018. Other findings include: - Enrollment in public elementary and secondary schools rose 13 percent between 1993 and 2006 and is projected to increase an additional 9 percent between 2006 and 2018 - Between 2006 and 2018 private school enrollment is expected to decrease by 2 percent. - The number of high school graduates increased by 27 percent between 1993-94 and 2005-06, and a further increase of 9 percent is projected by 2018-19. - There are more African American and Hispanic students in college than ever before, and their numbers represent a larger share of overall college enrollment. The number of African American college students increased from 1.7 million in 2000 to a projected 2.4 million in 2018. The number of Hispanic college students also will increase, to a projected 2.1 million in 2018 from 1.5 million in 2000.

Start making your summer plans and share your wealth of knowledge. Please read the following from Mike Burris, Co-chair of the WLA/PNLA Conference. 2010 WLA/PNLA Conference - Victoria, BC Call for Proposals Please note that the call for program proposals for the joint 2010 Washington Library Association/Pacific Northwest Library Association conference is now available at http://2010conference.wla.org/programs/. The 2010 conference is being held August 11-14 in beautiful Victoria, BC. The theme for the 2010 conference is "No Library is an Island" and speaks to the need to collaborate effectively in difficult economic times. The theme is also a celebration of the cooperative spirit that libraries have in their "DNA". The joint WLA/PNLA conference is a chance to learn and share with colleagues in one of the library community's few "international" (well, cross-border at least!) conferences. The joint conference will bring together library staff from five states and two provinces at the Victoria Conference Centre and the Fairmont Empress. Those of you that have attended PNLA conferences in the past will know the delicate balance of fun and learning that they are famous for. Having our colleagues from the WLA join us makes the 2010 conference a once in a lifetime opportunity. Top-notch session speakers will mix with events such as "Corks and Cans" (self explanatory, I hope) and tours that take advantage of the wonders of Victoria in the summer to guarantee a conference experience nonpareil. If you are interested in delivering a session, please note the deadline of October 20th. To get updates on the conferences (announcement regarding keynote coming soon!) please check back to www.pnla.org or www.wla.org. See you in Victoria next August!

This is your chance to get the inside scoop on how to best form partnerships with your school library counterparts! Get ready to make the dream a reality! Last year we shared storytime ideas. This year, we're sharing school-age program ideas. Send me your basic plan or write-up and I will work everything into a nice & neat handout. 2010 Summer Reading Club manuals will be distributed after the morning workshop. And we will be hosting our annual Silent Auction (bring something fun to auction off & come prepared with cash or check to buy, buy, buy.. watch out for the white elephant!)

Message-ID: <4AB1EA1A0200002000013E4A@mail.jacksoncounty.org> By Damian Mann Mail Tribune - http://www.mailtribune.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20090917/NEWS/909170326#STS=fzpm7k81.1axh Check this out Despite a 36 percent reduction in hours at Jackson County libraries, last year saw the second highest number of items checked out in the last 10 years. 2008-09: 1,411,767 2005-06: 1,444,813 Jackson County residents have boosted circulation numbers to near record levels despite limited hours at most of the 15 branches. In April 2007, county libraries closed because of funding problems. They reopened in October of that year under the management of a private company, Library Systems and Services LLC (known as LSSI), a Maryland-based company. In 2005-06, the last full fiscal year county employees ran the libraries, 1,444,813 items were checked out. In 2008-09, circulation came in at 1,411,767, despite reduced hours. The libraries are open a total of 310 hours a week now, compared to 481 before they were closed for six months, representing a 36 percent decrease. "Right now the use at libraries, even though they are at part-time, is about what it was before," said Commissioner Dave Gilmour. Gilmour made the comment while he presented an award Wednesday to Anne Guevara, Medford library manager who was named employee of the year by LSSI in its western division. Rotge said she didn't know much about the problems the library had in the past, but after moving from Texas recently, she is sold on the Medford branch. "It's 100 percent nicer than what I'm used to," she said. Her 4-year-old daughter Sierra crawled under the display cases with her new friend, 4-year-old Rowan Lance. Rowan said her favorite things at the library are reading books and meeting people. She didn't seem to mind a bit of publicity Wednesday. "We got to get our picture," Rowan said, referring to a photo taken by the Mail Tribune. Her mother, Elys Lance, said she checks out lots of books for her daughter each week as she relaxed in a chair in the children's section. The 38-year-old Medford resident said she hasn't noticed much of a difference in service since the private company took over. "It's pretty much the same except for the reduced hours," she said. Lance has noticed that check-out is a lot easier thanks to an automated system. Lance said the hours are somewhat inconvenient and require more flexibility on her part. "Once you get used to it, you can make it work," she said. Denise Galarraga, director of Jackson County Library Services, said the economy may be helping boost circulation numbers despite limited hours. "I think undoubtably there is that effect," she said. While books remain the most popular item to check out, other materials such as movie DVDs are a hit, particularly new releases. "They fly off the shelf," she said. "They never get on the shelf because people put holds on them." Books on CD are popular, and it is becoming more common for people to download audio books from the library system's Web site, www.jcls.org. "We download about 800 a month," said Galarraga. Computer use has been both heavy and light at times, but a grant helped with the purchase of 110 computers and 118 monitors that will be installed at branches across the county, she said. The library system offers many programs, including the popular storytime. Overall attendance in all programs increased from 3,500 in June 2008 to 6,000 in June 2009. Storytime attracted 15,308 children and 7,676 adults in 2008-09. Meeting rooms are extremely popular, attracting people in 2008-09 at 3,649 separate meetings. The Medford branch attracted 59 percent of the people who attended meetings. A regular visitor to the Medford branch, Cristy Sanders, said she picks up 10 to 15 books a week for her three children, and the reduced hours are only a minor inconvenience. "It's hard sometimes because you can't come in during the evenings," the 29-year-old mother said. "It's a small price to pay for having it open."

Sequels: An Annotated Guide to Novels in Series. 4th ed., Chicago: American Library Association, 2009 ISBN 978-0-8389-0967-6 "Sequels", the popular and long-lasting guide to novels in series, returns with greatly expanded series listings. Mysteries continue to be a mainstay, with fantasy, science fiction, and romance listings, plus non - genre fiction selections from authors such as Edward Abbey and Lawrence Durrell. The authors have carefully sifted through a growing group of series to select those most likely to be available in a medium-sized public library, weeding out esoteric, obscure, and less popular series. This classic reference includes hundreds of annotated series, title and subject indexes, and suggestions for reading order. Library professionals will find: answers to the perennial question, 'What should I read next?'; guidance on the chronology of a series; easy-to-use tools to identify novels by character, setting, and author; and, the definitive resource for novels in series. Including series started since 1989 and updated through 2007, "Sequels" will be the most complete resource for general readers and library patrons as well as readers' advisors; public, university, and high school reference librarians; acquisition and collection management librarians; and even bookstore staff and book reviewers.

The American Library Association (ALA) applauds the sponsors of the ?Judiciously Using Surveillance Tools in Counterterrorism Efforts? (JUSTICE) Act, which was introduced in the Senate today and would reform the USA PATRIOT Act, the FISA Amendments Act and other surveillance authorities to safeguard the constitutional rights of Americans while also ensuring the federal government has the necessary tools to fight terrorism. ?Three key sections of the PATRIOT Act are set to expire at the end of the year, and we are pleased to see Sens. Feingold and Durbin as well as Sens. Tester, Udall, Bingaman, Sanders, Akaka and Wyden take this opportunity to conduct a comprehensive review of these surveillance tools,? ALA President Camila Alire said. ?We believe that our nation must return to the rule of law, and we welcome this legislation, which addresses provisions of the PATRIOT Act that we believe erode the public?s civil liberties. This bill would restore the balance between the needs of law enforcement and our privacy rights.? The JUSTICE Act would reauthorize Section 215 of the PATRIOT Act, often referred to as the ?library provision,? but with additional checks and balances. The bill would permit the government to obtain an order for records if they have reason to believe a specific individual has some connection to terrorism while also allowing the target of the investigation to challenge the use of the records. The bill would also provide judicial review of Section 215 orders. Additionally, the JUSTICE Act would address problems with national security letters and increase judicial review and public reporting on these surveillance tools. ?We appreciate the sponsors of this bill for their efforts to correct what has been a long-standing issue for America?s libraries and our mission to protect patron privacy and other civil liberties,? Alire said. http://www.wo.ala.org/districtdispatch/?p=3673 -- Diedre Conkling Lincoln County Library District P.O.

Grijalva secures amendment to include ?libraries? in student aid bill September 17th, 2009 | Category: Higher Education , OGR Contact: Jenni Terry For Immediate Release September 17, 2009 WASHINGTON, D.C. ? The American Library Association applauds Rep. Ra?l Grijalva (AZ-7) for championing an amendment to include ?community college libraries? in the bill text of the Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2009 (H.R. 3221) passed by the House of Representatives today. Introduced by Rep. George Miller (CA-7), H.R. 3221 would establish two new competitive grant programs providing states and junior and community colleges the opportunity to apply for funds to launch initiatives to improve graduation and employment-related outcomes. The original bill language did not explicitly include community college libraries as potential recipients of the grants, which the ALA believes is essential for highlighting the important role libraries play in preparing students to successfully obtain and retain employment and for encouraging community colleges pursuing the grants to invest in their libraries and the services and resources they offer. ?This is a great bill that will help those students and communities that depend on the community college library for assistance with entering and staying in the workforce,? Emily Sheketoff, executive director of the ALA Washington Office, said. http://www.wo.ala.org/districtdispatch/?p=3668 -- Diedre Conkling Lincoln County Library District P.O.

Libraries that previously had no web presence or that offered only a basic, static web page can now connect with customers online, letting them search library catalogs and databases, view slide shows and videos, peruse event calendars, and much more . Plinkit is especially valuable in rural areas where long distances and limited hours make it difficult for patrons to go to the library in person. More than 250 libraries in Oregon, Texas, Illinois and Colorado are able to serve their hundreds of thousands of users online because of Plinkit. That number is expected to explode as upgraded software will soon be available and the Virginia and Michigan state libraries, as well as the Nebraska Library Commission, INCOLSA and Lyrasis have become members.

ALA has long supported the goal of a free and open Internet, and we applaud the Chairman for his goal of developing a principle of non-discrimination and one of transparency. As the Chairman defines them, the principle of non-discrimination states that broadband providers cannot discriminate against particular Internet content or applications, and the principle of transparency principle states that providers of broadband Internet access must be transparent about their network management practices. The Chairman also announced that the FCC will release a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) on the two new principles. ALA looks forward to responding to the NPRM. More information about ALA?s position on network neutrality is available from the Office for Information Technology?s Policy Brief, ?A Library Perspective on Network Neutrality.?released in December 2006.

The report, released by the National Center for Education Statistics at the Institute of Education Sciences, builds upon a series of NCES reports on high school dropout and completion rates that began in 1988. It includes national and regional population estimates for the percentage of students who dropped out of high school between 2006 and 2007, the percentage of young people who were dropouts in 2007, and the percentage of young people who were not in high school and had some form of high school credential in 2007. Annual data from 1972-2007 reveals trends by race, gender, income and other characteristics. It also includes state from national level estimates for public school students for the end of the 2005-06 school year showing estimates of how many beginning freshmen in the 2002-03 school year had graduated with their class in 2006, and how many students had dropped out between 2004-05 and 2005-06. Other key findings include: * Among reporting states, fourteen states had freshman graduation rates of 80 percent or higher, and 10 states had rates below 70 percent. Twenty-three states had higher AFGRs in 2005-06 compare with 2004-05, and 23 had lower rates. * Students living in low-income families were approximately ten times more likely to drop out of high school between 2006 and 2007 than were students living in high-income families. * One-year dropout rates have declined since 1972 among all racial/ethnic groups, although the decreases happened at different times over this 35-year period for these groups. * About 3.3 million 16- through 24-year-olds were not enrolled in high school and had not earned a high school diploma or alternative credential, as of October 2007. * The percentage of young White and Hispanic females who completed high school by earning a diploma or GED was higher than their male counterparts. Specifically, 94.6 percent of White females and 77.6 percent of Hispanic females had completed high school in 2007, compared with 92.4 percent of White males and 68.1 percent of Hispanic males. Overall, 89 percent of 18- to 24-year-olds nationwide have completed high school.

The USA PATRIOT Act Sunset Extension Act of 2009 introduced into the Senate today by Sens. Patrick Leahy (VT-D), Benjamin Cardin (MD-D) and Ted Kaufman (DE-D) would restore a balance between our nation?s surveillance laws and our civil liberties. The bill proposes reforms to Section 215 of the USA PATRIOT ACT, commonly referred to as the ?library provision,? which the American Library Association (ALA) has long sought to amend. It raises the legal standards to obtain a Section 215 order by requiring the government to show ?relevance? to an authorized investigation. Additionally, the bill calls for judicial review of national security letters (NSL) nondisclosure orders as well as increased public reporting on NSLs and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). ?We welcome the opportunity to have a full and public debate on how best to protect our civil liberties while also assuring that law enforcement has the tools it needs to fight terrorism,? said ALA President Camila Alire. ?The momentum toward reform is building with two strong Senate bills before the American public. The ALA looks forward to engaging in this public debate and continuing our mission to ensure patron privacy and other civil liberties are protected.? http://www.wo.ala.org/districtdispatch/ -- Diedre Conkling Lincoln County Library District P.O.

The USA PATRIOT Act Sunset Extension Act of 2009 introduced into the Senate today by Sens. Patrick Leahy (VT-D), Benjamin Cardin (MD-D) and Ted Kaufman (DE-D) would restore a balance between our nation?s surveillance laws and our civil liberties. The bill proposes reforms to Section 215 of the USA PATRIOT ACT, commonly referred to as the ?library provision,? which the American Library Association (ALA) has long sought to amend. It raises the legal standards to obtain a Section 215 order by requiring the government to show ?relevance? to an authorized investigation. Additionally, the bill calls for judicial review of national security letters (NSL) nondisclosure orders as well as increased public reporting on NSLs and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). ?We welcome the opportunity to have a full and public debate on how best to protect our civil liberties while also assuring that law enforcement has the tools it needs to fight terrorism,? said ALA President Camila Alire. ?The momentum toward reform is building with two strong Senate bills before the American public. The ALA looks forward to engaging in this public debate and continuing our mission to ensure patron privacy and other civil liberties are protected.? http://www.wo.ala.org/districtdispatch/?p=3698 -- Diedre Conkling Lincoln County Library District P.O.

Since the swift passage of this bill, which was signed into law a little over a month after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the ALA has focused primarily on Section 215 because of its potential to provide law enforcement with access to confidential library records and another investigative tool that has even less legal review, national security letters (NSLs) . The ALA has consistently sought reforms to the PATRIOT Act and other surveillance laws in order to protect library patrons and the general public from abuse of these investigative tools. * CONGRESS INTRODUCES NEW BILLS, HOLDS HEARINGS* Last week, Congress? attention turned once again to this legislation to begin addressing key provisions of the PATRIOT Act that will expire ? or ?sunset? ? if not reauthorized by December 31, 2009. The three sections scheduled to sunset are Section 301 (roving wiretaps), Section 6001 (?lone wolf? surveillance), and Section 215 (the business records provision, often referred to as the ?library provision?). On September 17, the ?Judiciously Using Surveillance Tools in Counterterrorism Efforts? (JUSTICE) Act was introduced into the Senate. Another Senate bill, the USA PATRIOT Act Sunset Extension Act of 2009, was introduced a few days later on September 22. Both bills would restore a balance between our nation?s surveillance laws and our civil liberties; whereas, previously introduced bills have sought to merely reauthorize these three PATRIOT Act sections without reforms. The ALA is encouraged by the introduction of these two strong bills, as well as the oversight hearings held in both the House and the Senate on September 22 and 23, respectively. This post is the first in an irregular, but ongoing, series of blogs to highlight such activities and to point readers to ALA?s Web pages and other sources of information on these important issues. As Congress continues to draft key surveillance laws to reauthorize PATRIOT Act sections and as the public debate heats up, the ALA Washington Office will provide ongoing reports and updates on the status of legislation and information on how different provisions in proposed bills will affect libraries. We will also alert supporters and enlist their involvement with grassroots advocacy at critical times. ** ** ** **** ** ** For additional information about these issues and ALA?s policy positions on the confidentiality of library records as well as the PATRIOT Act, see these OGR Web pagesand these Office of Intellectual Freedom (OIF) Web pages . *MORE INFORMATION ON RECENT CONGRESSIONAL ACTIVITY* *House Hearing: September 22, 2009 *The House Judiciary Committee?s Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, chaired by Rep.

Sager Oregon ALA Chapter Counselor -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [alacro-l] ALA-APA now accepting course proposals for Library Support Staff Certification Program (LSSC) Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2009 10:19:52 -0400 From: Don Wood To: On Oct. 1, 2009, ALA-APA will begin accepting applications from education providers interested in offering courses for candidates in the Library Support Staff Certification Program, (LSSC). The LSSC is the first national, voluntary certification program for library support staff. Course providers may be organizations or individuals with the expertise, training and resources to offer courses online or face-to-face. The 10 competency sets for which courses are needed are in the areas of foundations of library services, technology, communication and teamwork, access services, adult readers advisory, cataloging and classification, collection management, reference, supervision and management and youth services. Potential providers complete an application, http://ala-apa.org/lsscp/courseapprovalapplication.doc, and submit a course syllabus, a description of the course's teaching methods and assessment plan and the instructor's resume. The course must cover all the competencies in a competency set. The fee to be considered for approval is $100 each for the first and second courses submitted and $50 per class for each additional course. Candidates will have at least a high school diploma or equivalent and have worked in a public or academic library for at least one year. Candidates have the option of completing approved courses or submitting online portfolios that demonstrate their achievement in six of 10 competency sets. The application will be evaluated by a committee of American Library Association member volunteers using a rubric, http://ala-apa.org/lsscp/courseevalrubric.doc. Reviews will be held periodically throughout the year and ALA-APA will notify applicants of their status. Approved courses will be publicized and available to all LSSC candidates. Courses that are approved will maintain that status, barring major changes, for four years. Funded by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the LSSC Program is in a testing phase in five library organizations across the United States. The program will begin accepting candidates in January 2010. Based on survey information and other expressions of interest, project staff estimates that at least 300 library support staff members will participate in the LSSC program in the next three years. The LSSC Program was approved by the American Library Association to be an official certification of ALA in July 2009. More information about the LSSCP is available online at http://www.ala-apa.org/lsscp. *Please direct questions to Jenifer Grady at jgrady at ala.org or (312)280-2424. The program will be managed by the American Library Association-Allied Professional Association.* ALA-APA: the Organization for the Advancement of Library Employees is a service organization to the American Library Association and has as one of its missions supporting salary improvement initiatives for library workers.

One of the 18 was removed from the collection because a reconsideration committee reviewed the material and found that it contains inaccurate factual information. The 2009 Annual Report only includes challenges that are voluntarily reported to OIFC. A few of the high-profile challenges that occurred last year are not included because they were not reported to OIFC. Many people may not realize that book banning is not a thing from the past or that attempts to ban books are made every year right here in Oregon. This is a valuable educational opportunity to discuss the nature of the First Amendment-just as we have a right to access these materials in our libraries, we have a right to question whether they are appropriate to include in public collections. Why might someone find these materials inappropriate? Why should they remain in the collection? Is labeling a book an effective way to inform people about content that may not be appropriate for everyone or is it a form of censorship? How would you review materials and conduct a challenge hearing during the reconsideration process? This year there were a few high-profile challenges in Oregon, what would you do if the media contacted you about a challenge in your library? Why is a collection development policy the most important line of defense when library materials are challenged? Does your library have a policy or established procedure for people to challenge material? You can find resources that may help you answer these questions at: http://www.oregon.gov/OSL/LD/intellectual.shtml About the OIFC Annual Report Every year the Oregon Intellectual Freedom Clearinghouse (OIFC) publishes a report on challenges to all types of library materials in Oregon. This report provides a landscape of censorship activity in Oregon, and is submitted to ALA's Office of Intellectual Freedom to be included in their report on censorship activity in the United States. The Annual Report is also used by librarians and teachers to help them develop activities for Banned Books Week. The Annual Report is based on challenge reports OIFC receives from all types of Oregon libraries (school, academic, and public). All local libraries are encouraged to report challenges to materials on a voluntary basis. OIFC does not publish names of people, organizations, libraries, and towns identified in challenge reports confidential. I will be compiling the 2010 Annual Report in August 2010 . Please submit a separate challenge report for each formal challenge to library materials that occur at your library between July 1, 2009 and June 30, 2010 . Reports may be submitted as the are resolved or altogether in July 2010 . This information is complied to assist Oregon libraries currently facing a challenge as well as providing information that will help you plan Banned Books Week activities. The Annual Report will tell you what books were challenged in Oregon libraries the previous year. The more libraries reporting challenges to OIFC the better OIFC can help you! Please take time to report challenges to OIFC. The accuracy of OIFC's Annual Report and Title Index to Challenges is directly related to the number of Oregon libraries reporting challenges. To report challenges to materials at your library: Download and print the form at http://www.oregon.gov/OSL/LD/intellectual.shtml#Report_Challenges Fill out a challenge report form for each item that went through your library's formal process for dealing with challenges to library material. Mail your completed form(s) to: Oregon State Library c/o Oregon Intellectual Freedom Clearinghouse 250 Winter St. NE Salem, OR 97301 For more information about OIFC visit our website (http://www.oregon.gov/OSL/LD/intellectual.shtml) or contact the coordinator of OIFC, Katie Anderson, 503-378-2528. Attention School Librarians: Submit reports to OIFC on challenges after they have gone through your school's formal challenge to materials process and a decision to retain, relocate, or remove the title has been officially made. Submit reports on informal challenges to OASL's Intellectual Freedom Committee Chair, currently Leigh Morlock (lamorlock at hotmail.com).

JUDICIARY COMMITTEE MARKUP SEPTEMBER 30TH ADVOCATES ASKED TO CONTACT SENATORS ON JUDICIARY COMMITTEE ASAP It is critical that library supporters from states with senators on the Judiciary Committee call them as soon as possible urging reforms to Section 215 of the USA PATRIOT Act and laws covering national security letters. The Senate switchboard number is: (202) 224-3121 There are two USA PATRIOT Act reform bills pending before the Senate Judiciary Committee at this time. The Committee has scheduled a work session or ?markup? of S. 1696, the USA PATRIOT Act Sunset Extension Act originally introduced on September 17th by Judiciary Chairman Leahy and Sens. Cardin* *and Kaufman. This bill respects constitutional rights by increasing judicial review of the use of surveillance authorities that sweep in U.S. citizens. The bill also expands public reporting to ensure that Americans can monitor the use of these authorities. [ Leahy statement: http://leahy.senate.gov/press/200909/092209b.html ] *THE MESSAGE:* - Congress should pass the USA PATRIOT Act Sunset Extension Act of 2009, S. 1692, with key amendments to protect civil liberties based upon S. 1686, the Judicious Use of Surveillance Tools in Counterterrorism Efforts (JUSTICE) Act, and, - Congress should also consider reforms of national security letters (NSLs) now as legislation on reform and reauthorization of Section 215 of the USA PATRIOT Act moves forward. *TALKING POINTS:* - The library community thanks Senator Leahy and the bills?s other sponsors, Senators Cardin (MD-D) , Kaufman (DE-D) and Sanders (VT-I) for introducing legislation that makes many needed reforms to Section 215 of the PATRIOT Act; - However, library advocates urge the Judiciary Committee to consider amendments to S. 1692, based upon provisions in S. 1686, the Judicious Use of Surveillance Tools in Counterterrorism Efforts (JUSTICE) Act; - Intensify oversight of the Section 215 and National Security Letters provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act and other laws that limit the privacy rights of library users, library employees and the general public, including annual reports by the Department of Justice?s Inspector General. - Guarantee a recipient the right to consult an attorney, the right to challenge any gag order and due process at the time a Section 215 order or an NSL is served on the recipient; - Require the FBI to provide sufficient facts to demonstrate that a gag order is necessary to protect national security; if authorized, the gag order should automatically expire at the end of six months unless the FBI shows good cause to extend the gag order. *Members of the Senate Judiciary Committee* *Patrick J.
