During that period his ideas of what constituted perfect have changed, but the driving force behind his learning philosophy was to bring the student to the middle of the discussion, to allow them to control their learning. It was, in essence, to allow them the room to become responsible for their learning. In that time he has moved from home grown system, through LMSs, and PLE platforms. Just recently Cormier has come to think of the internet as the perfect learning system. (Read more here) Join us for an informative webcast in which Cormier will offer an introduction to the language around PLEs, PLNs and LMSs, and then move on to a broader discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of seeing the internet as our learning software.

MK [Image removed by sender.] Welcome to the December TechSoup for Libraries newsletter! This month we have a TechSoup Product Spotlight, news about how libraries are saving time and money with Virtual Machines and Thin Clients, details about our grant series, upcoming webinars, a Library Spotlight, and a new survey. You received this email because you participated in a webinar, contributed content, ordered products, or were interested in resources from TechSoup. TechSoup Product Spotlight: Windows MultiPoint Server 2010 There's a new Microsoft product available here at TechSoup that is useful for libraries especially if you have a computer lab or multi-user computing environment. Windows MultiPoint Server allows multiple users to simultaneously share one computer, with each user running an independent Windows 7-like desktop environment. You can create unlimited customized accounts with personalized files and settings, save energy, simplify maintenance, and lower expenses. It is easier to manage multiple stations and you only need to install software on the host computer. [Image removed by sender. computers]Multiple Windows environments can be powered by a single host computer running Windows MultiPoint Server. Each user just needs a monitor, keyboard, and mouse connected to a station hub, which connects to the host computer through USB cables. There are more setup options which you can read about in our blog post that covers deploying and implementing MultiPoint Server. Carlos wrote more about the potential benefits to using Windows MultiPoint Server on our blog. The Windows MultiPoint Server products available through TechSoup.org include: * Windows MultiPoint Server 2010 (admin fee of $28) * Windows MultiPoint Server CAL Pack for One Station (admin fee of $4) * Windows MultiPoint Server Device CAL (admin fee of $3) Through TechSoup's donation program, you can save 80-96% on brand-new software donated by top companies, including Microsoft donated software and refurbished computers. Products are available to all public libraries that are listed in the IMLS database and/or have a valid 501(c)(3) nonprofit status and to nonprofits with a 501(c)(3) designation. Real Savings with Virtual Machines and Thin Clients Is being thin one of your IT resolutions for the New Year? The La Conner Regional Library in Washington recently moved to thin clients and Joy Neal was kind enough to share their experience on our blog. Read how her small library saved time, money, and space by implementing this technology.

Librarian Spotlight: Michelle Foster[Image removed by sender. mf photo] We originally spoke with Michelle Foster a few years ago, so we thought we'd check-in for an update. With Foster at the helm, Boone County Public Library's IT department has implemented a myriad of new technologies. Foster says these purchases will prevent problems down the road and ensure good ROI (return-on-investment). Read about her solutions to common problems and software choices including Wireless Access Manager, Integrated Disc Media Unlocker, and Polaris Fusion. Her planning allows the library to capably support its ever-rising circulation by ensuring its services and materials remain accessible to all and community needs are met through new programming such as a Technology Petting Zoo. Monthly Survey [Image removed by sender.]TechSoup, with support from the Surdna Foundation, has been researching the needs of nonprofits and libraries who received Broadband Technologies Opportunities Program (BTOP) grants, to help them succeed in grant implementation and sustainable development. This month, we'd like you to share your computer use policies with us. Please complete this survey, and we'll enter your name in a monthly prize drawing. This month's winner, selected by Sarah's daughter, is Susan Staples, from the High Plains Library District in Greeley, CO. Happy Holidays! [Image removed by sender.

At the ACRL-OR meeting at Menucha October 28-29, the idea was raised of coordinating the dates that the A-RIG group met with when the ACRL-OR board met. Active members of A-RIG agreed to this idea and change. Therefore, the December 10 Alliance RIG meeting has been cancelled in favor of meeting on February 25th at Oregon State in Corvallis and planning to again meet on August 5th at University of Portland, each day from 10 a.m.-12 noon prior to the ACRL-Oregon Board meeting. Again, the next Research Interest Group meeting will be held at OSU in Corvallis on Friday, February 25 from 10 a.m.-12 noon. Please let me know if there are any concerns about this move at this time. Thank you.

The Conversation Project brings together community members and public humanities scholars in thoughtful, inspiring conversations about ideas critical to our daily lives and our state's future. Are you curious about how Oregon?s ballot initiative process works and why we?re always being asked to sign petitions? Do you think Oregonians are getting the government we deserve? Have you ever thought about how our landscapes reflect our community?s values? Consider these questions and others by checking out the 2010?11 Conversation Project catalog and applying to host a program. The catalog, instructions for host organizations, and downloadable application form are available on the Conversation Project program page (http://www.oregonhumanities.org/programs/section/conversation-project/#id2) .

Right now, to make matters easy, we are to post things on FB that only already exist on our web site. This does not allow much room for flexibility or creativity. We are starting a Teen Advisory Board and one of the forums in which they might operate could be via a FB page of their own. The current FB guidelines from the city would not seem to mesh well with this working out for them. But the city is willing to review these guidelines for us. It would be really helpful if I could provide them with some policy examples from other cities who allow more freedom in the city and/or library facebook pages. How does your city view these types of public interaction? Are they tightly controlled as to content and response? Do you have access to a policy which you could share? Thanks for your help!

ABOUT THE CANBY PUBLIC LIBRARY: Located on the outskirts of the Portland, Oregon metropolitan area, the Canby Public Library serves a historical rural but evolving community of over 25,000 residents, sharing its catalog and collection with 12 other public libraries within Clackamas County?s LINCC network. In November, 2008, voters approved a permanent countywide library district, which has given the library the opportunity to rebuild its collection, services, programs and staff after years of minimal funding. Approximately one out of four Canbyites is estimated to be Latino. REQUIREMENTS: This position requires an MLS/MLIS from an ALA accredited program and a valid driver?s license (with an acceptable driving record). In addition to demonstrating expertise in the areas of grant activity detailed in the position overview, the successful applicant will also demonstrate ability and experience in the following areas: proactive and positive customer service (including understanding of emerging best practices in public librarianship), proficiency in spoken and written Spanish, knowledge of, and/or experience of the traditions, values and customs of the Hispanic/Latino community, and experience providing library services to Spanish speaking patrons. SALARY AND BENEFITS: Compensation for this position includes an annual salary of $46,920 as well as full City of Canby benefits (PERS retirement (upon eligibility), medical and dental insurance, and life insurance).

The American Library Association (ALA) Washington Office is calling for nominations for two awards to honor individuals or groups who have championed, protected and promoted public access to government information and the public?s right to know. The James Madison Award, named in honor of President James Madison, was established in 1986 to celebrate an individual or group who has brought awareness to these issues at the *national level*. Madison is widely regarded as the Father of the Constitution and as the foremost advocate for openness in government. The Eileen Cooke State & Local Madison Award honors an extraordinary leader who has built *local* grassroots awareness of the importance of access to information. Cooke, former director of the ALA Washington Office, was a tireless advocate for the public?s right to know and a mentor to many librarians and trustees. Both awards are presented during Freedom of Information (FOI) Day, an annual event on or near March 16, Madison?s birthday. Nominations should be submitted to the ALA Washington Office no later than January 26, 2011. Submissions should include a statement (maximum one page) about the nominee?s contribution to public access to government information, why it merits the award and one seconding letter. Please include a brief biography and contact information for the nominee. Send e-mail nominations to Jessica McGilvray, Assistant Director for the ALA Office of Government Relations, at jmcgilvray at alawash.org.

If you recall, LEL is a test prep and computer skills database, and then some. For example, there are practice tests to help K12 and college students hone reading, math, and in most cases, writing skills. Studying for the SAT, CDL, or nurses' exam? There's assistance for that, too. Need help writing a resume or learning Microsoft Excel for Windows or Macintosh? Try an LEL course. There are also lots of eBooks that users can access; Grammar Essentials, ACT Essay Practice, Statistics Success in 20 Minutes a Day, Real Estate Broker Exam, and Lo ?ltimo en Guias Para Obtener Su Tarjeta Verde are just a sampling.

Call NOW to Support the Museum and Library Services Act! Take Action Now MLSA Vote Tomorrow! Call NOW to Support the Museum and Library Services Act! *MLSA VOTE TOMORROW! Call Now to Support the Museum and Library Services Act!* _Take Action! _ Good news! The U.S. House of Representatives has scheduled a vote on the Museum and Library Services Act (MLSA) for Tuesday. Your phone calls to Congress are especially important now as your representatives will be making a decision on how they plan to vote on this bill. Please call the U.S. Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121 and ask to be transferred to your representative?s office. Tell their staffs that passing MLSA is imperative to ensuring libraries can continue providing critical resources and services to their constituents, particularly in this tough economy. Specifically highlighting programs or resources your library provides to the member?s constituents will make your message stronger. MLSA will ensure that all library programs under the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), including the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA), are authorized, therefore equipping IMLS to lead America?s libraries. This bill received bipartisan support from both Republicans and Democrats when it passed the Senate late week, and it will need the same bipartisan support to pass the House. To access the full text of this bill, click here . Your calls are urgently needed TODAY! If the House fails to pass this legislation when it is on the floor tomorrow, the whole reauthorization process will have to start over after the first of the year. We cannot let that happen.

It would be nice if it had a component where people could fill out the application and request dates on the website, as well. Do any of you have any software that you've found particularly useful? A web search has turned up many results, of course, but most of them seem to be geared toward larger institutions with multiple branches or many rooms. Any advice would be appreciated!

It is with great joy that I would like to announce the results of the 2011 Oregon Library Association/Washington Library Association Mock Caldecott Award! Mock Caldecott Award - City Dog, Country Frog by Mo Willems, Illustrated by Jon J. Muth Mock Caldecott Honor Books - Art & Max by David Wiesner Black Jack: The Ballad of Jack Johnson by Charles R. Smith, Jr., Illustrated by Shane W. Evans Mama Miti: Wangari Maathai and the Trees of Kenya by Donna Jo Napoli, Illustrated by Kadir Nelson The 2011 Mock Caldecott Workshop was held at the Multnomah County Library's Central Library (Portland, Oregon) this past Saturday. Over 40 librarians, authors, illustrators, and educators from across Oregon and Washington came to learn about the Caldecott Award and select a local mock winner. Attendees were introduced to the Caldecott process by 2010 Caldecott Committee member Suzanne Harold. Barbara Head, another librarian with Multnomah County Library, provided participants with an overview of Visual Thinking Strategies, a method of inquiry used for looking at picture books. Following a crash course in judging the art of picture books vis-?-vis the ALA Caldecott criteria, participants broke into small groups and discussed a list of potential 2011 Caldecott contenders. After a day filled with "all things picture book", participants took part in a balloting process similar to the actual process used to select the real Caldecott Award. OLA and WLA organizers would like to thank Multnomah County Library and its librarians for presenting a wonderful workshop! I apologize for any cross-posting.

Well, I found out that we are all over the page (dare I say facebook page) on this! Some people don't have policies at all; some people have policies so strict that there is very little freedom to use Facebook as it was intended. Obviously, institutions are just trying to protect themselves in light of public records laws. Social networking has made it a little more complicated of a world in this area. I like the way that Multnomah County Library deals with it. There are rules, but it is considered informal and ephemeral communication. You can find their policy on their web site. You'll be happy to know that my city has decided to give this another look see. I have suggested some language that seems reasonable to the IT director and me and he is going to float it for me. Once that is revised, I'd be happy to share that with who could use it-just let me know. Thanks for all of your wonderful responses. I love this list (thanks State Library!) and I love my colleagues!

For more than 50 years, this California couple printed on three hand-presses, including an 1830 Acorn-Smith, an Albion Press and a Columbian Press, and produced more than 50 stunning handmade books. Their work is highly revered for its elegance, creativity and content ? which focuses on classics of literature and titles related to the history of California. In 1996 their talents were recognized when they received the Oscar Lewis Award for the Book Arts from the Book Club of California for a lifetime of fine printing. This exhibition draws books, correspondence and printed ephemera from a private collection once owned by Edgar N. Meakin, a classmate of Lewis Allen's at the University of California, Berkeley, and good friend and neighbor; the materials remain with the Meakin family in Portland. Additional materials are borrowed from other public and private collections, and from the John Wilson Special Collections of Multnomah County Library. *Please joins us for the Opening Reception on Saturday, December 11, 2?3:30 p.m. with light refreshments and opening remarks by exhibition curator Jim Carmin.* The exhibition opens Saturday, December 11, 2010, and is in place until Sunday, January 16, 2011.

He says: "I am calling about your copier and need to update our information. You just need to go look on the front of your copier and tell me the make and serial number." I paused for a couple of seconds (because I am a slow thinker) and was trying to figure out what this could possibly be about and then realize that he had not identified a company. I said: "What is your company?" He said: "The main headquarters for your copier located in Virginia." I lease our copier and know the name of the bank carrying the lease (and where I pay the bills) and the company that arranged the lease and does the maintenance. Neither is in Virginia. I said: Well, since you are not giving me a name of a company I assume you are not the company from which we lease our copier so I am now going to end this call." I had a staff member once answer a phone call that may have been similar to this one and they sent the library 10 toner cartridges and an outrageous bill. It was not fun getting them sent back to the company. The library happens to still use that printer and it is now about 7 years later and I have only purchased 4 toner cartridge for the machine. -- *Diedre Conkling Lincoln County Library District P.O.

Matsui, Markey and Eshoo December 17, 2010 ( No Comments) For Immediate Release December 17, 2010 WASHINGTON ? The American Library Association (ALA), the Association of Research Libraries (ARL), and EDUCAUSE say U.S. Reps. Doris Matsui (CA-5), Edward Markey (MA-7) and Anna Eshoo (CA-14) are championing the concerns of anchor institutions by calling on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to ensure its upcoming order on network (net) neutrality applies to them. Higher education and libraries are at the forefront of developing new and innovative research applications and educational content over the Internet. The members? lettersent to the FCC today requests that any net neutrality safeguards ensure that the Internet remains open for such content and essential services to the public. ?During your proceedings, we want to ensure that America?s community anchor institutions ? the schools, libraries, community colleges, and other higher education institutions ? are not left out of the proposed safeguards,? the members? letter to the FCC commissioners states. The members assert that ?Community anchor institutions should be included in the definition of broadband Internet access service and in the non-discrimination protections. Leaving these critical institutions out of the proposal will create a gaping hole in the FCC?s net neutrality safeguards.? Earlier this week, the ALA, the ARL, and EDUCAUSE sent their own letter to the FCC, requesting the same safeguards as well as other changes necessary to make certain the net neutrality order applies to non-profits, such as libraries and education entities, who create and provide access to Internet content. -- *Diedre Conkling Lincoln County Library District P.O.

What Is the Price of College? Total, Net, and Out-of-Pocket Prices in 2007-08, a Statistics in Brief describes the annual price of education among undergraduates enrolled in U.S. postsecondary institutions in 2007-08. The data come from the most recent administration of the National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS). Other findings include: * In 2007-08, the average total price of attendance for full-time undergraduates (tuition plus living expenses) varied widely by the type of institution attended, ranging from $12,600 at public 2-year colleges to $18,900 at public 4-year institutions, $28,600 at for-profit institutions, and $35,500 at private nonprofit 4-year institutions. * Students at for-profit institutions are shown to receive federal grants and student loans at considerably higher rates than those at other types of institutions. Even with such high percentages of Pell Grant and Stafford loan recipients, low-income students at for-profit schools still face the highest average out-of-pocket net prices compared to all other postsecondary institutions. The average out-of-pocket net price was $11,700 among low-income students at for-profit institutions but the average for those enrolled elsewhere ranged from $6,000 to $9,800.

The American Library Association (ALA), the Association of Research Libraries (ARL), and EDUCAUSE say the Federal Communications Commission?s (FCC) passage of its network (net) neutrality order today is a first step toward restoring an open Internet but does not go far enough to ensure community anchor institutions? content and services can be equally accessed by the public. While the groups say the FCC?s clarification of the word ?consumer? guarantees the rule will apply to libraries and other educational interests, additional provisions sought by the associationsare needed to achieve ?true? net neutrality. The order does not hold wireless to the same non-discriminatory standards as wireline access, despite the growing number of libraries, higher education institutions, and users that utilize wireless technology to access content and information. Additionally, the practice of paid-prioritization must be banned to protect libraries and educational interests from being charged more to provide the public with the same quality of access to their educational and non-profit content. The Internet has become a cornerstone of the educational, research, and computer services that libraries and other anchor institutions offer to students, teachers, and the general public. These institutions rely upon the widespread public availability of an open, affordable Internet to provide equitable access to content and services including distance learning classes, e-government services, licensed databases, job-training videos, medical and scientific research, and many other essential services. The groups thank U.S. Reps. Doris Matsui (CA-5), Edward Markey (MA-7) and Anna Eshoo (CA-14) for bringing attention to the needs of community anchor institutions in their recent letterto the Commissioners. The ALA, the ARL and EDUCAUSE anticipate the FCC?s efforts to address these additional concerns and to provide long-term oversight and enforcement of today?s rule. ------------------------------------ http://www.wo.ala.org/districtdispatch/?p=5517 -- *Diedre Conkling Lincoln County Library District P.O.

Chairman Genachowski's draft Order was worse than nothing--and we needed to make sure the FCC didn't approve it today. Well, there's good news and bad news. The good news is that, thanks to Commissioners Copps and Clyburn--not to mention a nationwide network of net neutrality activists like you--the proposal approved today is better than the original. For instance, the FCC has now stated that it does not condone discriminatory behavior by wireless companies like Verizon and AT&T--an important piece that was missing from the first draft. We made a difference. The bad news is that, while it's no longer worse than nothing, the Order approved today is not nearly strong enough to protect consumers or preserve the free and open Internet. And with so much at stake, I cannot support it. I'm still very concerned that it includes almost nothing to protect net neutrality for mobile broadband service--often the only choice for broadband if you live in rural or otherwise underserved areas. And I'm particularly disappointed that the FCC isn't specifically banning paid prioritization--the creation of an Internet "fast lane" for corporations that can afford to pay for it. But here's the important thing to remember: This fight's not over. The FCC must vigorously enforce these new regulations--and it must follow through on addressing wireless discrimination going forward. So what now? First, we need to work together to make sure the FCC keeps the promises it made today--just as our movement was instrumental in improving these regulations from the first draft, we'll be critical in ensuring that the regulations are enforced vigorously. And I'm going to keep working with net neutrality advocates to see if there are legislative or administrative steps that can be taken to strengthen these protections. But, for today, know that the work we're doing to save the Internet is making a difference. Today, the FCC took a small step forward--too small by my estimation, but forward nonetheless.

Matsui, Markey and Eshoo December 17, 2010 ( No Comments) For Immediate Release December 17, 2010 WASHINGTON ? The American Library Association (ALA), the Association of Research Libraries (ARL), and EDUCAUSE say U.S. Reps. Doris Matsui (CA-5), Edward Markey (MA-7) and Anna Eshoo (CA-14) are championing the concerns of anchor institutions by calling on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to ensure its upcoming order on network (net) neutrality applies to them. Higher education and libraries are at the forefront of developing new and innovative research applications and educational content over the Internet. The members? lettersent to the FCC today requests that any net neutrality safeguards ensure that the Internet remains open for such content and essential services to the public. ?During your proceedings, we want to ensure that America?s community anchor institutions ? the schools, libraries, community colleges, and other higher education institutions ? are not left out of the proposed safeguards,? the members? letter to the FCC commissioners states. The members assert that ?Community anchor institutions should be included in the definition of broadband Internet access service and in the non-discrimination protections. Leaving these critical institutions out of the proposal will create a gaping hole in the FCC?s net neutrality safeguards.? Earlier this week, the ALA, the ARL, and EDUCAUSE sent their own letter to the FCC, requesting the same safeguards as well as other changes necessary to make certain the net neutrality order applies to non-profits, such as libraries and education entities, who create and provide access to Internet content. -- *Diedre Conkling Lincoln County Library District P.O.

Two archived webinars are now available to check out from the State Library as DVDs: Libraries & the Mobile Technology Landscape and Redesigning Today's Public Services: Focus on Reference. The webcasts were made available free of charge to staff from Oregon libraries through a statewide membership to BCR (now Lyrasis), paid for by the Oregon State Library with LSTA funds. Running time for each DVD is 90 minutes. Evaluation Survey for Technology Trends in Libraries If you view/ed the webcast or the DVD, please take 5 minutes to fill out an online evaluation. http://library.state.or.us/services/surveys/survey.php?sid=325 Descriptions from the College of DuPage Press Libraries & the Mobile Technology Landscape (broadcast 9/24/10): "Joe Murphy will provide an overview of the emerging landscape of information engagement through mobile technology. He will introduce the major mobile technologies and outline their usage as well as the cultural shifts that accompany their introduction into information society. Joe will lead us through an exploration of the opportunities for libraries to implement mobile technologies to enhance or supplement traditional services and collections, and will explain how libraries can most strategically engage these tools as well as the mobile culture. We will discuss the real world changes this means for libraries and the new skills we may have to learn in this evolution. At the conclusion of this session we will all be familiar with how to best meet this shift towards mobile technologies in our libraries." Redesigning Today's Public Services: Focus on Reference (broadcast 11/12/10): "Marie Radford, Ph.D., just back from Reference Renaissance 2010 in Denver, Colorado, and co-editor of Reference Renaissance: Current and Future Trends, will talk with you about re-designing library public services, focusing on reference. The program will explore how reference services are evolving by incorporating new technologies, modes of delivery, and new staffing models. And how do we assess this new style of reference service? Marie Radford, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey's School of Communication & Information and a leading library consultant."

Copyright clarity: How fair use supports digital learning. Thousand Oaks, CA: Corwin. ISBN: 978-1-4129-8159-0 This volume differs from many copyright books in that it emphasizes that we are not always bound by the educational use guidelines, as they are not the law and can be unnecessarily restrictive. Instead, the focus is on having the user apply the principles of fair use at the time of need. The book is a joint publication with the National Council of Teachers of English. -- Jen Publisher's Description: "Today, educators and students have access to a vast, rich array of online materials that can be used for instruction, but these resources often remain untapped because of confusion over copyright laws.
