You don't need to be a programmer to attend, but interest in making things work is a must. You are encouraged to join the google group at http://groups.google.com/group/pnwcode4lib/web/code4lib-northwest-2010 This year's schedule has a bit of something for everyone -- cloud computing, harvesting data from the web, creating integrated search tools, designing forms that offer users choices as they type, digital archiving, shared systems, and nurturing digital initiatives programs. Soon, we'll announce something fun for the many attendees who arrive the night before. There are still a few slots available but don't wait too long to register because space is limited! *REGISTER NOW **Draft Schedule * *Date: June 7, 2010* *Location: White Stag building, Portland, OR* * * *08:00 ? 09:00 Registration* *09:00 ? 09:20 Welcome/Opening Remarks* * * *09:20 ? 10:20* *? 09:20 ? 09:40* *A Look at Cloud Computing and the Library* Michael Klein Oregon State University * * Michael Klein, the Oregon State University Libraries new Digital Applications Librarian, will take a closer look at application development in the Cloud. If you'd like to know more about Cloud computing, the current available solutions and how these solutions will impact the library community in the present and beyond, please plan on attending. Be sure to come with your curiosity and your questions. *? 09:40 ? 10:00* *Introducing Needle?* Shirley Lincicum Western Oregon University * * Needle? http://www.needlebase.com/ is a new web-based application that supports harvesting, aggregating, analyzing and publishing data compiled from multiple sources. It provides an interface that allows non-programmers to create custom database models and automatically collect data from web pages or structured data files (such as csv and xml). Needle? also provides sophisticated support for merging, deduplication and clean-up of aggregated data, and edits persist even after data is refreshed from the original source. Once compiled, published data can be accessed via API or exported for use in other applications. This presentation will demonstrate key features and hopefully inspire people to think about cool stuff they could do with an application like this. *? 10:00 ? 10:20* * Serials Solutions 360 Link API: The Willamette Test Drive Michael Spalti Willamette University Willamette University recently subscribed to the Serials Solutions link resolver (360 Link) and initially chose to use the vendor's API to create a mashup between Serials Solution data, data exported from our catalog, and the OCLC xISSN service. The API is complete with one exception that we are exploring with Serials Solutions. According to the company, we are the only library using the API, which raises the question of why, and whether we should do more to encourage adoption among Serials Solutions customers. * *10:20 ? 10:40 Break* * * *10:40 ? 11:20* *? 10:40 ? 11:00* *Dropping ACID: Wrapping Your Mind Around NoSQL Databases* Kyle Banerjee Orbis Cascade Alliance * * Web apps have different needs -- flexible schemas, low cost scalability, minimal latency, geographic distribution -- than relational databases were designed for. At the same time, they typically don't require ACID (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability) properties or support for powerful but unnecessary functions that kill performance while making it awkward to store data about complex objects. This session provides a gentle introduction to nonrelational databases focusing on document stores that can be accessed using javascript for potential library applications. *? 11:00 ? 11:20* * UnSystems for Preserving Electronic Records Karen Estlund University of Oregon Libraries must preserve electronic records, but tools that do this well aren't mature yet. Rather than trap this information in systems that will soon be obsolete, it's safer and more effective to address the management and preservation problem by intelligently exploiting functionality built into all file systems. By using simple but effective structures and naming conventions, materials can be indefinitely maintained in a format that can easily be migrated when suitable technologies become available. * *11:30 ? 12:00 Lightning Talks #1* * * *12:00 ? 01:00 Lunch* * * *01:00 ? 01:15 Raffle Goodness* * * *01:20 ? 02:00* *? 01:20 ? 01:40* *LCSH Autocomplete and other Power Toys:* Al Cornish & John Scott Washington State University * * The new Summit catalog has many useful features, but it still lacks some that staff and patrons alike find highly useful such as LCSH and title autocomplete. This session demonstrates how this sort of functionality can easily be added to the Summit catalog using harvested data and the WorldCat API. *? 01:40 ? 02:00* *Transitioning to Evergreen* Beth Longwell, Sage System Administrator Eastern Oregon University * * In March 2010, the Sage Council unanimously voted to migrate their 76 member libraries from a III Millennium system to Evergreen. It is expected that most if not all of the libraries will be migrated in December 2010. This session discusses the technical, organizational, and service challenges of a large scale migration that affects staff and patrons in many institutions. *? 02:00 ? 02:20* *Developing a Digital Initiatives Program at a Liberal Arts College* Mark Dahl Lewis and Clark College * * At Watzek Library we believe that digital initiatives should reach out beyond library centric endeavors and engage in collaborative projects that further faculty research and teaching interests. In this session, I'll share the results of a broad survey of faculty interests in digital library work at Lewis & Clark. I'll discuss potential future projects as well as ideas surrounding our embryonic digital initiatives program, including ways that we are restructuring our staff to support the program. * * *02:20 ? 02:40 ?

Open Government Plans compiled during an independent audit reveals the strongest and weakest agency plans, with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) at the top of the list and the Department of Justice (DOJ) at the bottom. Strikingly, the audit also found that several agencies that are supposed to lead by example on the government openness front failed to do so in their Open Government Plans. The audit was organized by OpenTheGovernment.org and conducted by volunteers from nonprofit groups, academia, and other organizations that serve the public interest, including OMB Watch, who have experience working with the agencies and evaluating information policies. The Obama administration?s Dec. 8, 2009, Open Government Directive (OGD) required executive agencies to develop and post Open Government Plans by April 7, 2010. The OGD specified elements related to transparency, participation, and collaboration that must be included in the plans. The audit acknowledges that all the agencies required to produce a plan completed them within the four month deadline. This alone is an important indicator of the administration?s commitment to openness. The evaluation forms used for the audit rate the extent to which agencies meet the administration?s standards as spelled out in the OGD and provide bonus points for exceeding the requirements. In some instances, the results of these evaluations differ significantly from evaluations recently released by the White House. The differences are to be expected given our evaluators? perspectives as independent non-governmental organizations and our awarding of bonus points. Including the bonus points, NASA, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the Environmental Protection Agency created plans that serve as models for other agencies by going beyond all the OGD requirements. Many agencies have taken innovative steps in their plans. For example, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has made specific commitments for identifying and publishing high-value data sets this year. NASA is inviting the public to collaborate in the development of technologies that are core to its mission. And agencies have already begun to implement commitments made in their plans, such as the Department of Labor?s Online Enforcement Database on workplace safety, and to improve on work in place, like the Department of Energy?s Open Energy Information platform. The five lowest scores went to the Department of Treasury, Department of Defense, Office of Management and Budget (OMB), Department of Energy, and the Department of Justice. Of particular disappointment to many of the evaluators is the low ranking of plans developed by OMB and DOJ. Given that OMB has responsibility overseeing portions of the OGD, the evaluators expected the agency to seize this opportunity to lead by example. For example, OMB easily could have taken this opportunity to make its new contractor accountability database ? the Federal Award Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS) ? accessible to the public. Similarly, DOJ?s ranking at the bottom of the stack is disappointing given its charge to implement the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), America?s oldest public access law, and Attorney General Eric Holder?s guidance to federal agencies in 2009, which stated his strong support for President Obama?s commitment to open government. The evaluators view these plans and the audit as the beginning of a process to make government more transparent, participatory, and collaborative. Many of the weakness noted in the plans can, and should, be easily addressed if agencies live up to their commitments to treat these plans as ?first drafts? and ?living documents.? We invite agencies to revise their plans by the end of May. OpenTheGovernment.org will revisit those plans in early June to see how agencies have responded to this audit. In the final analysis, an open government plan is really only as strong as its execution, and there is much work left to do to make sure agencies live up to their promises.

Evaluators: American Association of Law Libraries, American Library Association, Center for Democracy and Technology, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, OMB Watch, OpenTheGovernment.org, Project on Government Oversight, Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility, Sunlight Foundation, Union of Concerned Scientists, faculty and students at the University of Maryland College of Information Studies, and a volunteer, Ted Smith (Health Central, for identification purposes only). # # # OMB Watch is a nonprofit government watchdog organization dedicated to promoting government accountability, citizen participation in public policy decisions, and the use of fiscal and regulatory policy to serve the public interest.

Oregon Helps is pleased to announce its award winning website at www.OregonHelps.org just got even better! To date, over 28,000 Oregonians have used the site to quickly and easily learn about their eligibility for services from a computer in the privacy of their home, local library, friend?s house or a non-profit agency. Now the site has been completely upgraded and is even more user friendly and accurate! Oregon Helps is a free and easy to use web-based self screening tool that asks visitors a few questions about their income and expenses. The site then estimates their potential eligibility for 33 federal, state and local services?such as food stamps (now known as SNAP), Women Infants and Children (WIC), Oregon Health Plan, Housing Subsidy, Employment-Related Child Care, and Working Family Tax Credit. It even includes services specific to each of the 36 counties in Oregon. It then provides the visitor with information about how to apply for each of those services. Any information provided is completely confidential and anonymous ? the program never even asks for the visitor?s name! Visitors conduct the self screening in four languages: English, Spanish, Russian and Vietnamese. Oregon Helps at www.OregonHelps.org has transformed the often frustrating and time consuming process of seeking social services or assistance. Instead of making numerous phone calls or driving to different locations, consumers can learn about available services in a short session (5-15 minutes) that can be completed on any computer with Internet access. Oregon Helps sessions can happen anywhere, anytime, and as many times as one wants. We need your help in getting the word out. Please forward this email announcement to all your contacts and networks. To order or download flyers & posters, find a short article you can put in your newsletters, and learn how to provide a link to Oregon Helps from your own website, go to: www.oregonhelps.org/information. Together we can combat poverty by increasing low income families and individuals access to services throughout Oregon! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Or, have you been curious to learn how to develop researchable questions? Dr. Mark Edwards, OSU Sociology Professor, will lead a workshop to answer these and other questions on Friday, May 28th, 10-noon, Willamette Rooms, OSU Libraries 3rd Floor. Dr. Edwards teaches a research design course for public policy students, and has taught research methods and social science research writing to undergraduates for 15 years. Mark describes the session like this: ?I'd have in mind having all the participants submit to me a week ahead of time a list of questions (vague, ill-defined, etc.) that they want to try to work on, and then I'd offer a workshop for helping one another develop those further, alerting people to the kinds of mental moves we might make to turn our inquiries into researchable questions.? As we get closer to the date, I?ll send a reminder asking you to share questions that I will pass on to him. Although this is a free workshop hosted by OSU Libraries, we ask you to register so we know how many people to plan for.

The Rules of Use are a living document, constantly being revised by the CSLP Rules of Use Committee. Please review the Rules of Use online at: http://www.cslpreads.org/about/rules-of-use.html This year there was a major clarification regarding use of CSLP artwork and clip-art from the manual on customized paper products such as reading records, certificates, and bookmarks. CSLP members may not use CSLP artwork or clip-art from the CSLP manual to create customized paper products if Highsmith offers a similar paper product. Here are a few examples: You may not use CSLP artwork or clip-art from the manual to create your own: * Reading records/logs because Highsmith sells reading records. * Summer reading certificates because Highsmith sells certificates. * Bookmarks because Highsmith sells bookmarks. You may use CSLP artwork or clip-art from the manual to create your own: * Booklists because Highsmith doesn't sell booklists. * Event fliers, programs, and brochures because Highsmith doesn't sell these. This is a huge clarification. CSLP and Oregon CSLP representatives know that many libraries are not in compliance with this Rule of Use. Do not panic if you are not in compliance, please email me at katie.anderson at state.or.us and I can provide more information. There is a process in place if you would like to use CSLP artwork or clip-art from the manual to create your own reading records, certificates, bookmarks, or other paper products offered by Highsmith. Unfortunately, it is too late to go through the appropriate process for this summer. In the Fall I will send out an email with information about how to request customized paper products for next summer. You may be interested to know the Rules of Use state: * CSLP Exclusive Vendor [Highsmith] gets first right of refusal on all custom paper orders. * Custom paper orders that cannot be customized by CSLP's Exclusive Vendor [Highsmith] may be printed in-house by the CSLP member or by a local printer. Please let me know if you have any questions about the Rules of Use. Another good resource is the 'Forum' on the CSLP website (http://www.cslpreads.org/) in which you can initiate and/or participate in conversation around Rules of Use, CSLP artwork, and other topics. You must create an account to access the discussion forum. Thank you, Katie Anderson 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 All Oregon public, volunteer, and tribal libraries are members of the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP), and receive a free summer reading manual.

By jessamyn on lawsuits Remember CIPA? And remember how we were always holding out hope that someone would challenge it in an ?as applied? challenge, an adult who wanted to view material that was blocked by the filters? Well there?s been a challenge, in Washington state, and the State Supreme Court ruled that filtering for adults was in fact permissible, lumping it in with collection development. The case concerns the North Central Regional Library System Opinion hereand dissenting opinion here. Interestingly, the sites that were contentious in this case were web sites on firearms, not pornography or otherwise racy topics. Can you see WomenShooters.com at your library? NCRL?s filtering policy does not prevent any speech and in particular it does not ban or attempt to ban online speech before it occurs. Rather, it is a standard for making determinations about what will be included in the collection available to NCRL?s patrons. Thus, NCRL?s filtering policy, when applied, is not comparable to removal of items from NCRL?s collection, but rather acquisition of materials to add to its collection. NCRL has made the only kind of realistic choice of materials that is possible without unduly and unnecessarily curtailing the information available to a bare trickle ? or a few drops ? of the vast river of information available on the Internet. This may be the set up for a very interesting lawsuit. I hope they appeal. Comments -- Diedre Conkling Lincoln County Library District P.O.

Here is more detailed information: This year: * If you have already sent your summer reading materials to the printer, don't worry about it. Use them. It's OK this year. * If you are down to the wire and don't have time to swap the CSLP artwork or clipart from the manual, send it to the printers as you planned. It's OK this year. * If you have time to swap out the CSLP art for public domain clipart on your summer reading materials, please do so. * If you are photocopying/printing materials from the summer reading manual, that is OK. That's what the manual is for. * If you are purchasing posters and materials from Highsmith, then sending them to have your library information printed on them. It's OK. * If you are printing/photocopying the same posters, bookmarks, and materials sold by Highsmith, you need to purchase these from Highsmith. Oregon Summer Reading Certificates this year: There are no changes, and should be going out to the libraries that ordered them the first week of June as planned. They are not in compliance with the Rules of Use. However, I spoke with CSLP and Highsmith about the Oregon Summer Reading Certificate, I filled out and submitted a "Customized Paper Product Order" form, and received permission to create and print them in-house this year. Next year: Libraries can still design their own paper products; you do not have to purchase Highsmith products from the catalog. There are two other options: 1) Create your own paper materials using the CSLP artwork or clip-art just like you have done in the past, complete a "Customized Paper Product Order" form and submit it to Highsmith. Highsmith will either print it for you or they will refuse it. The Rules of Use state that if Highsmith refuses to print your customized paper product they should give you permission to print it in-house. It is too late to do this for the 2010 summer reading program. I will send out the "Customized Paper Product Order" form via email this Fall for the 2011 summer reading program. This is the process we will use for the Oregon Summer Reading Certificate next year. 2) Create your own materials using artwork/clip-art from another source. In this case you could use clipart in the public domain such as what you find from windows clipart to create your own logs. Another example, some Oregon libraries use the CSLP slogan and theme (water, "Make a Splash--READ!") However, they contract with a local artist to design different art and use their own art on all summer reading materials. As you know, Ready to Read funds may only be used for the statewide reading program and this counts because these libraries still use the CSLP theme and slogan. A few things to keep in mind: CSLP is not the copyright police. The CSLP Rules of Use are designed to make Highsmith's copyright rules more understandable to libraries, and to help libraries move towards compliance. If you aren't sure your library is in compliance with the Rules of Use and you are facing a short timeline, keep working as you originally planned so you can meet your deadline, but please send me and email or give me a call. CSLP has an RFP process to contract with an exclusive vendor, Highsmith is the vendor that was awarded the current contract. There will be a full RFP process when the contract is up, and Highsmith will have to submit another RFP just like all other interested vendors.

When did the change in rules come about? Has this been in the works for a while or have the rules always stated this? As far as I know, this has always been the rule. The Rules of Use did not clearly explain it so lots of libraries all over the country have not been in compliance and didn't know it. Therefore, the Rules of Use were clarified this year to help libraries comply. Was there lots of discussion at the CSLP? There was some discussion in the Rule of Use Committee meeting. It was primarily around the process and time line for completing the "Customized Paper Product Order" form and submitting it to CSLP so we will be able to help libraries through this process next year. This is the process that should allow you to create your own reading logs as you have in the past. How are other states feeling? I don't know because there was not a lot of discussion around this. At the Rules of Use Committee meeting most people were concerned that Highsmith doesn't know how many libraries are not in compliance with this Rule, and they will be surprised by how many more Customized Paper Product Orders there will be next year. A few people who attended the Rules of Use Committee meeting said they hope that Highsmith is overwhelmed by the number of Customized Paper Product Orders because it may present an opportunity to discuss making some changes to this Rule. Could you please provide some background about how these rules of use evolved? As I understand it, the Rules of Use were created to help libraries understand copyright of Highsmith's summer reading products. The Rules of Use are revised on an ongoing basis to provide more clarification of copyright on summer reading products, and help libraries move towards compliance. I will email the Chair of the Rules of Use Committee to confirm this, and get more information for you. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

You may be interested to know the Rules of Use state: * CSLP Exclusive Vendor [Highsmith] gets first right of refusal on all custom paper orders. * Custom paper orders that cannot be customized by CSLP's Exclusive Vendor [Highsmith] may be printed in-house by the CSLP member or by a local printer. Please let me know if you have any questions about the Rules of Use. Another good resource is the 'Forum' on the CSLP website (http://www.cslpreads.org/) in which you can initiate and/or participate in conversation around Rules of Use, CSLP artwork, and other topics. You must create an account to access the discussion forum.

Librarians will receive hands-on training with L-net's chat software, e-mail software, and instruction on techniques for communicating effectively online with patrons and providing reference services online. There are two ways to get involved with staffing L-net: 1 - Partner libraries: Reference staff at Oregon libraries may staff the service as partner libraries. Librarians who do so staff the service at their libraries. 2 - Volunteers: If you have reference experience, you may apply to be a volunteer. Volunteers typically staff the service from home computers. If you would like to participate in the volunteer program, contact me for information about how to apply to be a volunteer. The training is free, but space is limited and advance registration is required. If you would like to attend, contact me and let me know if you would like to staff L-net at a partner library or as a volunteer. Emily Papagni, emilyp at multcolib.org Registration for this training will close on Friday, June 4. If you're interested in the training, but unable to attend on this date, please contact me. I'm continuing to schedule additional trainings around the state.

I guess, from the earliest time of joining the collaborative, we thought that the collaborative paid for the artists, and so the copyrights belonged to CSLP. It was news to me that Highsmith owns those copyrights . I'm pretty sure that EPL won't be ordering custom print materials from HIghsmith, so what it means for us is that we will buy a few products from HIghsmith-posters, banners, etc.-and that our calendars, sign-up forms, etc. will use free clipart. Some years the artwork is really great, and we want to use it, so I'm sorry to find out it is not available to us.

When did the change in rules come about? Has this been in the works for a while or have the rules always stated this? As far as I know, this has always been the rule. The Rules of Use did not clearly explain it so lots of libraries all over the country have not been in compliance and didn't know it. Therefore, the Rules of Use were clarified this year to help libraries comply. Was there lots of discussion at the CSLP? There was some discussion in the Rule of Use Committee meeting. It was primarily around the process and time line for completing the "Customized Paper Product Order" form and submitting it to CSLP so we will be able to help libraries through this process next year. This is the process that should allow you to create your own reading logs as you have in the past. How are other states feeling? I don't know because there was not a lot of discussion around this. At the Rules of Use Committee meeting most people were concerned that Highsmith doesn't know how many libraries are not in compliance with this Rule, and they will be surprised by how many more Customized Paper Product Orders there will be next year. A few people who attended the Rules of Use Committee meeting said they hope that Highsmith is overwhelmed by the number of Customized Paper Product Orders because it may present an opportunity to discuss making some changes to this Rule. Could you please provide some background about how these rules of use evolved? As I understand it, the Rules of Use were created to help libraries understand copyright of Highsmith's summer reading products. The Rules of Use are revised on an ongoing basis to provide more clarification of copyright on summer reading products, and help libraries move towards compliance. I will email the Chair of the Rules of Use Committee to confirm this, and get more information for you. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Here is more detailed information: This year: * If you have already sent your summer reading materials to the printer, don't worry about it. Use them. It's OK this year. * If you are down to the wire and don't have time to swap the CSLP artwork or clipart from the manual, send it to the printers as you planned. It's OK this year. * If you have time to swap out the CSLP art for public domain clipart on your summer reading materials, please do so. * If you are photocopying/printing materials from the summer reading manual, that is OK. That's what the manual is for. * If you are purchasing posters and materials from Highsmith, then sending them to have your library information printed on them. It's OK. * If you are printing/photocopying the same posters, bookmarks, and materials sold by Highsmith, you need to purchase these from Highsmith. Oregon Summer Reading Certificates this year: There are no changes, and should be going out to the libraries that ordered them the first week of June as planned. They are not in compliance with the Rules of Use. However, I spoke with CSLP and Highsmith about the Oregon Summer Reading Certificate, I filled out and submitted a "Customized Paper Product Order" form, and received permission to create and print them in-house this year. Next year: Libraries can still design their own paper products; you do not have to purchase Highsmith products from the catalog. There are two other options: 1) Create your own paper materials using the CSLP artwork or clip-art just like you have done in the past, complete a "Customized Paper Product Order" form and submit it to Highsmith. Highsmith will either print it for you or they will refuse it. The Rules of Use state that if Highsmith refuses to print your customized paper product they should give you permission to print it in-house. It is too late to do this for the 2010 summer reading program. I will send out the "Customized Paper Product Order" form via email this Fall for the 2011 summer reading program. This is the process we will use for the Oregon Summer Reading Certificate next year. 2) Create your own materials using artwork/clip-art from another source. In this case you could use clipart in the public domain such as what you find from windows clipart to create your own logs. Another example, some Oregon libraries use the CSLP slogan and theme (water, "Make a Splash--READ!") However, they contract with a local artist to design different art and use their own art on all summer reading materials. As you know, Ready to Read funds may only be used for the statewide reading program and this counts because these libraries still use the CSLP theme and slogan. A few things to keep in mind: CSLP is not the copyright police. The CSLP Rules of Use are designed to make Highsmith's copyright rules more understandable to libraries, and to help libraries move towards compliance. If you aren't sure your library is in compliance with the Rules of Use and you are facing a short timeline, keep working as you originally planned so you can meet your deadline, but please send me and email or give me a call. CSLP has an RFP process to contract with an exclusive vendor, Highsmith is the vendor that was awarded the current contract. There will be a full RFP process when the contract is up, and Highsmith will have to submit another RFP just like all other interested vendors. If you have questions or concerns about Rules of Use, please contact me first.

The Rules of Use are a living document, constantly being revised by the CSLP Rules of Use Committee. Please review the Rules of Use online at: http://www.cslpreads.org/about/rules-of-use.html This year there was a major clarification regarding use of CSLP artwork and clip-art from the manual on customized paper products such as reading records, certificates, and bookmarks. CSLP members may not use CSLP artwork or clip-art from the CSLP manual to create customized paper products if Highsmith offers a similar paper product. Here are a few examples: You may not use CSLP artwork or clip-art from the manual to create your own: * Reading records/logs because Highsmith sells reading records. * Summer reading certificates because Highsmith sells certificates. * Bookmarks because Highsmith sells bookmarks. You may use CSLP artwork or clip-art from the manual to create your own: * Booklists because Highsmith doesn't sell booklists. * Event fliers, programs, and brochures because Highsmith doesn't sell these. This is a huge clarification. CSLP and Oregon CSLP representatives know that many libraries are not in compliance with this Rule of Use. Do not panic if you are not in compliance, please email me at katie.anderson at state.or.us and I can provide more information. There is a process in place if you would like to use CSLP artwork or clip-art from the manual to create your own reading records, certificates, bookmarks, or other paper products offered by Highsmith. Unfortunately, it is too late to go through the appropriate process for this summer. In the Fall I will send out an email with information about how to request customized paper products for next summer. You may be interested to know the Rules of Use state: * CSLP Exclusive Vendor [Highsmith] gets first right of refusal on all custom paper orders. * Custom paper orders that cannot be customized by CSLP's Exclusive Vendor [Highsmith] may be printed in-house by the CSLP member or by a local printer.

I guess, from the earliest time of joining the collaborative, we thought that the collaborative paid for the artists, and so the copyrights belonged to CSLP. It was news to me that Highsmith owns those copyrights . I?m pretty sure that EPL won?t be ordering custom print materials from HIghsmith, so what it means for us is that we will buy a few products from HIghsmith-posters, banners, etc.-and that our calendars, sign-up forms, etc. will use free clipart. Some years the artwork is really great, and we want to use it, so I?m sorry to find out it is not available to us.

Title: High circulation materials preservation for small to medium-sized public libraries Aims: To allow for volunteers to have a variety of duites to perform, while offering them pertinent information on what they're doing and why it's important. The goal is to create a sense of necessity and pride in the work being performed. For the library, the system creates a continual, cyclical performance of important duties. It aims to takes away the headache of trying to find busy work for volunteers, while making sure that all collections materials are being properly handled and cared for on a regular basis. The system also allows for easy overview of each volunteer's abilities. Volunteer training is required. This system is in it's test stages here, so if you're feeling that you'd like to have a go, any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

New York : Neal-Schuman Publishers. 2006. >From the publisher: [http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__2PD8JDc8G0/S-xVS2-sBHI/AAAAAAAAAE0/xcqkaCZWkeE/s200/wirelessnetworking.jpg]Wireless networking has arrived in libraries and is here to stay! Here is the practical guide, written specifically for librarians, to assist you in your implementation or expansion. In these pages you will find essential background information and get the facts about why and how libraries should go wireless, including standards, transfer rates, equipment options and costs, planning and implementation, technical and project management concerns, and site surveys. Common library issues such as compatibility with existing networks, marketing to your patrons, creating good policy, security options and troubleshooting are addressed. Throughout the book the authors share advice from real world librarians detailing their experiences with wireless. For your convenience, a wide variety of planning tools are included-checklists, cost tables, a glossary of terms and resources for further research. The Complete Library Technology Planner: A Guidebook with Sample Technology Plans and RFPs on CD-ROM, by John M. Cohn and Ann L. Kelsey. New York : Neal-Schuman Publishers, 2010. >From the publisher: Careful and systematic planning is essential to the success of your library's technology implementation efforts. This complete, clear, and easy-to-follow guide takes a highly practical, hands-on approach to thoroughly prepare public, academic, school and special libraries to develop and implement a technology plan in the library. Following a foreword from Executive Director of the American Library Association Keith Michael[http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__2PD8JDc8G0/S-xbjbFOVHI/AAAAAAAAAFM/aDDiq9CETho/s200/completetechplanner.jpg] Fiels, authors John M. Cohn and Ann L. Kelsey provide a comprehensive introduction to the key concepts and elements in technology planning and the changing technological landscape affecting today's libraries. There is clear advice to help you best define your plan's scope, purpose and funding requirements, along with step-by-step guidance for developing an effective technology plan - from gathering data and identifying institutional needs, to determining priorities, identifying objectives, outlining costs, and writing the actual plan. A five-step model plan is included to provide readers with a start-to-finish example of the development process, and the authors also advise on how to implement the new plan and evaluate its success. The accompanying CD-ROM includes over thirty-five time-saving, sample technology plans and RFPs. Each plan is specifically targeted to public, academic, school, or special libraries, and can be easily replicated or adapted for use in your own institution. An array of figures, checklists, and examples are included throughout the book to help reinforce important concepts, and a comprehensive webliography lists further related resources.

The Kovacs Guide to Electronic Library Collection Development: Essential Core Subject Collections, Selection Criteria, and Guidelines, Second Edition New York: Neal-Schuman, 2009. 025.284 KOVAC 2nd ed. ISBN 978-1555706647 First published in 2004, this second edition provides updated and enhanced information on "how to build, expand, improve, and maintain an e-library collection." Chapters cover general collection guidelines and licensing basics; especially useful are individual sections citing specific Web sites for e-collection sources in ready reference, business, medicine, biology, engineering, physical and earth sciences, and the social sciences and humanities. Kovacs, who co-compiled a few editions of the invaluable print Directory of Electronic Journals, Newsletters, and Academic Discussion Lists, among other works, is a very diligent researcher, and her latest title again offers librarians much useful information.

New York: Neal-Schuman, 2009. 025.52 Ross 2nd ed. ISBN 978-1555706555 This second edition is completely updated, with an all-new section on virtual reference. The section on the readers'-advisory interview is now a full chapter. Marie Radford joins authors Ross and Kirsti Nilsen, bringing her expertise and research on virtual-reference services. All three authors have been involved in large and long-term research projects on reference and readers'-advisory interviews, virtual and face-to-face, and their work informs all chapters of this book. Scenarios based on real library transactions illustrate many important ideas, and most also include comments and discussion questions, making it easy to adapt them for classes or workshops. Sidebars appear on nearly every page, with "Did you know?" research facts, short exercises, and "Quick Tips." This outstanding work is highly recommended for all libraries and is essential reading for all LIS educators and librarians involved in staff training.

New York: Neal-Schuman, 2009. 027 Hunte 2nd ed. ISBN 978-1555704674 If you have to do archives, this is a very good book. Eminently practical and readable, it discusses everything from undertaking a records survey to issues involved in electronic archives. An extensive bibliography presents many articles by leaders in the archival profession. Extremely useful are charts that organize important information succinctly?for example, characteristics of records with intrinsic value and a convenient table providing cubic foot equivalents for physical items. Anecdotal vignettes such as Alex Haley at the National Archives and Stanford University's purchase of Allen Ginsberg's manuscripts and "old electric bills" make for lively reading, sharpening what Richard Cox once called "the cutting edge of a dull profession." Hunter, an associate professor at the Palmer School of Library and Information Science, Long Island University, was the first president of the Academy of Certified Archivists and is a former chair of the Society of American Archivists' Committee on Education and Professional Development. Highly recommended for those just starting out and as a useful refresher for established archivists as well. [cid:image009.jpg at 01CAF2B6.D60DF8D0]Martin, Millias J. Jr. and James R. Murdock. Serving Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Questioning Teens: A How-To-Do-It Manual for Librarians. New York: Neal-Schuman, 2007. 027.63 Marti ISBN 978-1555705664 This volume offers abundant useful guidance not only for reaching the target audience, but also for planning and promoting library services to teens in general. Martin and Murdock also discuss exemplary and appropriate interactions between library staff and teens, all with the intent of providing a library that functions well for LGBTQ youth. While the authors' sources include historical as well as recent professional discussions and literature, the tone is friendly and largely free of jargon. Chapters on collection building and promotion include both generous title lists and booktalk scripts; those on program planning and production include suggestions of each program's likely reception in varying communities, from the cautious to the most liberal, as well as complete lists of equipment needed to bring each idea to fruition. The audience addressed is assumed to include school as well as public librarians, and the authors spell out when distinctive differences in the roles and responsibilities of these two groups might require differences in collection or programming. All librarians should turn to this book for pertinent insight on the needs of 5 to 10 percent of the teen population and sound suggestions for providing excellent service to all local teens.

ISBN 1856045862 With the increasing availability of digital resources, it is vital for those involved in purchasing them to get to grips with the complexities of contracts, costs and the relationships that exist between subscriber and publisher. "Negotiating Licences for Digital Resources" is a practical guide on how to get the best deal for online subscriptions. The processes outlined in this book can be applied to a wide range of electronic products, ranging from e-journals to multi-modular databases. There are practical tips and guidance on what to focus on during the course of the negotiation and, most importantly, what preparation is needed to ensure that you gather the necessary amount of information to achieve the best outcome. The text guides you logically through the stages of negotiation, from initial awareness of your organization's needs to making the contract more understandable, and offers advice on the skills and techniques of negotiation, whether in written or face-to-face scenarios. This book can act as a reference tool for experienced negotiators, or as a primer for those who have never before been involved in the process. It is essential reading for information professionals, knowledge managers, online resource buyers and procurement officers across all sectors, and will also be of interest to publishers, e-journal agents and vendors of online resources.

It is with a heavy heart that I must report to you that our beloved colleague, Dorothy O?Brien, the former head of library services at Samaritan Health Services here in Oregon, died on Wednesday May 12, 2010. Dorothy had spent much of her life and career in Wyoming also and was a member of both the MCMLA and the PNC/MLA. I worked under Dorothy at Murray Memorial Library at Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center (GSRMC) in Corvallis, Oregon and would like to share some memories of her. First of all, I came to know Dorothy as a library patron myself because I started in the medical records department and would often read in the library on my breaks. Dorothy struck me as a remarkably pretty woman, always well turned out and she was in fact the most beautiful woman in our hospital. But, more importantly, she was courteous and welcoming to everyone who came into the library. I was just a clerk, but she treated me with every bit as much friendliness as she treated the CEO and surgeons. I remember well apologizing for having dozed off in one of the chairs and for almost certainly snoring and snorting in my sleep. Dorothy gaily said, ?Well, we want people to feel comfortable in the library!? I later was very pleased to get the job in the library as a library technical specialist and I was struck by the fact that many of the people at the hospital, upon learning of my new job, told me how lucky I was to be getting such a wonderful person as a boss and how nice Dorothy was. They also told me I would have to learn to dress better, given how lovely Dorothy was! I remember well a young woman from another department sighing when Dorothy was assigning me a task in Dorothy?s usual soft, gentle manner, ?I wish I worked here, too!? Dorothy was a superb librarian, particularly at searching and I was impressed by how many doctors and other medical people, administrators and members of the community came to her office to thank her personally for her help in tracking down just the information they needed to solve a particularly daunting, perplexing problem. I remember her sitting at her computer at various times over the years with a surgeon or a pulmonologist, the head of risk management or a cancer nurse as they all scanned the screen and conferred. And I know she knew search in and out because one doctor, when Dorothy was on vacation said, ?Well, let?s just wait until Dorothy gets back?? and one oncologist often called when she was on vacation and when I said Dorothy was away would reply in dismay, ?Away!? And one said to me after I did a search while Dorothy was gone said, ?That was a good effort. Next time, we will wait until Dorothy gets back?? I later learned to simply offer the option, ?Would you prefer to wait until Dorothy gets back?? Not only was Dorothy exceptionally smart she was also extremely graceful and I always enjoyed watching her lovingly welcoming new books to the library, opening each and smoothly down the covers and some of the pages. And could she read quickly and determine with great discernment and astuteness what the key article was. I learned a huge amount from her ever tactful, edifying critiques of my often bumbling attempts at searches. Dorothy was also much loved as a sympathetic listener and counselor and it was amusing to watch medical people of all kinds enter her office fulminating and livid about some injustice or other and to see Dorothy through her office window nodding sympathetically, occasionally making a comment and to see the aggrieved person emerged pacified and ready to return to the fray in a more reasonable frame of mind. Dorothy was also one of the most engaging raconteurs I have ever known. She could make even the simplest event memorable and often hilarious. And she had the most wonderful laugh and rich voice. As a friend of hers and mine from the lab said, ?She was the complete package!? She also worked tremendously hard, boxing up and readying for shipping huge numbers of quite heavy coding books and disposing of outdated journals in the annual updating of the shelves. She was a model boss: generous with her time, selflessly sharing her knowledge of librarianship and tactfully but firmly correcting underlings when we erred or treated someone discourteously. I remember well being impatient with a young woman with a disability and Dorothy telling me, ?Your job is to learn to be more tolerant.? She had a rare ability to make one want to be a better person. Dorothy?s extraordinarily gentle nature enabled her to get through without bitterness one of the most debilitating of all illnesses, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig?s disease) which she was diagnosed with in April 2007 and which she died of Wednesday. Dorothy, well versed as she was in matters medical, had suspected what was wrong and when she told me that she had ALS I started to cry, as we were all so fond of her and ALS is such a terrible illness. Being the caring person she was she said, ?Oh, Hope?it will be okay.? That typifies Dorothy. Here she was, facing one of the most devastating of all diseases, and her first instinct was to comfort the other person! And I was struck by how loved Dorothy was at work and in the greater world because when I went to the hospital chaplain for comfort in the face of this great blow to all of us, he was himself in tears about it, having known Dorothy since she had come to our hospital. But I remember what he said, ?She will get through this with all of the grace and courage we know she has in her.? And she did indeed, facing increasing levels of disability matter-of-factly and good humouredly. One of her doctors even asked her how she could remain so cheerful in the face of such dire prospects. Dorothy simply replied, ?How would it help to be angry?? Dorothy in her illness proved herself ever more the kindest of people. At one point, she even asked me to turn the volume way down on her television so that her young caregiver in the next room would not be disturbed by the noise and she would take the trouble, after she lost the ability to speak and even though writing was hard for her, to write on her erasable board ?Thank you? or ?Food?? meaning not for herself but for her guests. Dorothy worked in the library even after her retirement as manager and her determination and sunny disposition made a deep impression on the many people who used the library and showed that people with disabilities are huge helps to their colleagues and we were grateful for the help, given her deep reservoirs of knowledge about search, collection development and library management matters generally. And we were so delighted when she nodded in approval at things we did, for we respected her judgment without reservation. And she was just one of those special people whose good opinion meant something to us. And whereas some people faced with advancing illness would have turned first to their own needs Dorothy stuck with commitments she had made before her diagnosis, such as finishing up as a member of the board for our public library, of her women?s club and working on a huge banner to advertise a local theatrical production even though using scissors and a needle and thread was not easy for her by that point. But she felt she had made a promise. The banner, of course, was gorgeous in the end. She also served on an Oregon state commission about telecommunications for the disabled. She wanted to help others as long as she could and joked, when elected Neuromuscular Patient of the Year for Oregon soon after her diagnosis, ?But I haven?t done anything yet!? We kidded her, ?Figures?everybody loves you, so you won!? When Dorothy said, ?It will be okay? in many respects it was. Dorothy presided over a bustling household during her illness and was greatly loved by a cohort of caregivers and a steady stream of visitors of family and friends from her beloved Wyoming. Her house was always a pleasant place to visit and her young caregivers would tell us all about their studies and hopes for the future. Dorothy had the most amazing gift for bringing out the best in people and for keeping things going smoothly and enjoyably no matter what life decided would occur. She took an interest in others and made us feel that we were all utterly charming and fascinating. And what a charming person she was herself. Charm is a hard quality to define, but Dorothy possessed it in abundance. She was a person of charismatic warmth and simply a great pleasure to be around. She took an interest in all things and in recent years returned to painting in watercolor and got quite good at yoga. Her family was every bit as delightful as Dorothy herself. Dorothy opened up new friendships for others. There was something almost magical about how she could foster human relations and spur us on to accomplishment. I certainly did better in library school than I would have otherwise knowing I could tell Dorothy about it all and get her advice. Dorothy mentored many of us in the library sciences. I had the pleasure of attending the MCMLA annual meeting in Cody, Wyoming in 2008 and Wyoming, being Dorothy territory, literally the first person I met upon getting off the plane, noticing I was from Oregon, immediately asked, ?Do you work for Dorothy O?Brien?? Once people learned I did, they were especially welcoming to me. I think that speaks well for how beloved Dorothy was in the world of librarians. Dorothy made me proud of our library, to be in the library profession and, given her courage and greatness of heart and uncomplaining stoicism and consideration for others during her illness, proud to be a member of the human race. Here is what Dorothy asked to be sung at her memorial service (and it is a sign of how loved she was that many, many people have asked me when the service will be?I don?t know yet): I'll Fly Away Some bright morning when this life is over I'll fly away To that home on God's celestial shore I'll fly away I'll fly away oh glory I'll fly away (in the morning) When I die hallelujah by and by I'll fly away When the shadows of this life have gone I'll fly away Like a bird from these prison walls I'll fly I'll fly away Oh how glad and happy when we meet I'll fly away No more cold iron shackles on my feet I'll fly away Just a few more weary days and then I'll fly away To a land where joys will never end I'll fly away Hope Leman, MLIS Research Information Technologist Center for Health Research and Quality Samaritan Health Services 815 NW 9th Street Suite 203A Corvallis, OR 973 Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.

As of today, OVRC is available to add to your library or consortium website. What is it? Opposing Viewpoints is a popular Gale database that pulls together background information and pro & con viewpoints about current social issues. It's an especially useful tool for middle schoolers through college students and the general public as they do research. Access To find your library's link to OVRC, go to the Gale support site for Oregon libraries, www.galesupport.com/oregon, enter your library or consortium's name in the "Start Typing the Name" box, and click on Select. On the new page, scroll to find Opposing Viewpoints; the list of databases is in alphabetical order. If you include database logos on your site, you can grab the OVRC image from the column on the right. For Plinkit users, Darci Hanning will be in touch with specifics about adding Opposing Viewpoints to your websites. Think Interface If you have used OVRC before, you know that the interface is like the one used in Small Business Resource Center, Nursing Resource Center, and Student Resource Center Gold. By early June, Gale plans to unveil Think, a new interface for OVRC. It will be a portal page that features a quick overview of a topic, related multimedia, links to "editorially reviewed" websites, and more. Content that used to be available in tabs at the top of the page will appear in buckets at the bottom of the page. Extra features like ReadSpeaker and translation will still be available. Eventually, a few other databases will change to the Think interface, too. Training You will have several opportunities to participate in a 1-hour Gale webinar to learn more about Opposing Viewpoints. Because of the upcoming transition to a new interface and because many folks will be on vacation in the summer, we pushed back the training timeline. We'll offer two sessions in June and multiple sessions in August and late September or early October. These are the webinar dates so far: June 16 & 17 and August 24 & 26. The times and the September or October dates have not been confirmed yet. Mark your calendars and stay tuned for more information. If you want to get familiar with the current interface, explore the resources that Gale added to our support site. You can't miss the big OVRC bubble on the top right. Credit If your library or consortium already subscribes to Opposing Viewpoints, you are eligible for a credit to apply toward the purchase of new databases and/or eBooks. Within the next few weeks, you should hear from a Gale rep about this, but feel free to contact them. Those in public libraries can contact Lindsay Smith at Lindsay.smith at cengage.com or 800-877-4253 ext 8374. And, anyone at an academic library can contact Caroline Drexler at caroline.drexler at cengage.com or 800-877-4253 ext 8471. If you have questions, please ask. Have a great weekend.

I have been very touched by the many people who have written to say how much they wished had known my former boss, Dorothy O"Brien, who died earlier this week.

I was very pleased to tell Dorothy's family yesterday about that very nice development and I am going to print them all out for her family and save them for myself. As a result of all those notes, I have written a blog post about Dorothy. It can be found here http://www.consortiumlibrary.org/blogs/pnc/2010/05/15/in-memoriam-dorothy-o%E2%80%99brien-and-what-she-taught-us-about-medical-librarianship/ but here is the text: I am at my computer keyboard as the sun is coming up on this May morning. I am thinking that it probably will be a beautiful day and that I hope next Wednesday will also be such. For on that day friends, family and colleagues will gather in the pretty back yard of the home of a much loved member of the Pacific Northwest Chapter of the Medical Library Association after a service to honor her life and mourn her death. My former boss, Dorothy O?Brien, former head of library services at Samaritan Health Services died May 12, 2010. I would like to discuss here what we can learn from Dorothy?s life about the importance of medical libraries, what medical librarians do and what it means to live a life of service by serving in that profession. I have already written a bit about Dorothy and her good humor, grace and valor in the face of illness. Here I would like to reflect on what I learned by watching Dorothy up close as a complete novice to medical librarianship when I had the great good fortune to land a position as library technical specialist under Dorothy at Murray Memorial Library at Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center in Corvallis, Oregon in 2004. Dorothy was responsible for all library services at Samaritan, but she was headquartered at Murray Memorial Library and it is there that I got to learn from her about what makes a good medical librarian and the amazingly broad set of skills she possessed and how she employed them to make medical care better in our community. First of all, here is an obvious point: a good medical librarian should be likable, personable, friendly and approachable. Medical libraries are sometimes somewhat mysterious to visitors to hospitals and to staff alike if they come from hospitals that don?t have them (and that, lamentably, is more and more the case). Patients and the family members of such sometimes don?t realize that many medical libraries are open to the public and often either don?t venture in or stand uncertainly in the doorway in the hope that someone will notice them and make clear that they are indeed welcome. Dorothy?s office was directly by the library entrance and her office door was open almost all of the time and she was the personification of graciousness to the deeply shy and the self-assured alike. I remember well as a medical records clerk coming in and asking if would be okay to simply sit and read on my breaks in one of the big comfy chairs by the windows. This very warm, beautifully dressed woman named Dorothy was soon one of my very favorite people in the hospital. And that was true of many, many others. I graduated from library school in 2009 and I wish there had been coursework on ?Fundamentals of Charm and Charisma for Health Science Librarians.? Dorothy would have been a great visiting professor on such topics. But there was far more to Dorothy than merely the fact that she was able to generate support for the library simply by being an unusually lovable person. She also provided services that enabled doctors and other medical to ensure the very best care was delivered, from the latest pharmacological treatments for various forms of cancer to the intricacies of surgery of the hand. Dorothy?s ability to find, sometimes under very short notice, a key sentence among dozens of pages of a plethora of articles found via very sophisticated medical literature search methods that I only half understood myself was an endless source of wonder to me. And I know Dorothy?s talent for helping providers was much appreciated because one of my jobs was sorting and opening the mail. Among the piles of medical journals that arrived each day were thank-you notes from surgeons, physical therapists, pharmacists, nurse managers, oncology nurses, wound care nurses, doctors engaged in research projects or book writing, SHS employees earning master?s degrees in public health or other fields thanking Dorothy for finding just what they needed. Dorothy was extremely modest and did not trumpet her own accomplishments. She simply wanted to help doctors and other medical people alleviate pain and cure disease and to help members of the public gain a better grasp of their own health situations. But I know that the ?library services appreciation file? was getting so bulky as to be getting to the point of making the drawer in which it was kept very difficult to get closed by the time she retired. It had to be treated with great force. 1-2-3?shove with the shoulder! That is the mark of great medical librarian. I could go on and on about how Dorothy personified the best of medical librarianship. So far, I have mentioned that Dorothy was a likable person and that she also employed her superb search skills in the medical field to the very best effect on behalf of a wide array of providers and patients (as an example of her service to the latter group she excelled at helping those newly diagnosed with diabetes, guiding them through their initial bewilderment about dietary matters). What else? Well, she was an absolute master at collection development for medical libraries, ensuring that we had all the core texts in the major fields of medicine. She knew precisely what a well stocked medical library should possess. And what is more, she was a shrewd bargainer with vendors and careful steward of library funds and always got the very best deal. I would not have dreamed of attempting to ever try to best her in any sort of monetary transaction. She was a sweet-natured person, but she also was responsible and careful with library money and yet managed to be much liked by vendors and the purchasing departments in the institutions she served alike. Sometimes relations between librarians and vendors can be either adversarial or overly cozy. Dorothy managed to be both pleasant and hard-nosed when necessary. And what a model of professional integrity in all things she was. I learned a lot about probity and ethics from her. She was one smart cookie and this applied not only to paper-based resources but to electronic resources. And the mention of the word ?electronic? brings to mind another thing Dorothy?s career can teach us about medical librarianship. She adjusted with remarkable flexibility to the incredible number of changes that occurred in library technology in medical librarianship that our colleague Maryanne Blake has chronicled so memorably. Just in the few years that I worked under Dorothy from 2004-2007 we saw the rise of RSS, Library 2.0, Web 2.0 and the steady erosion of print as the primary medium in libraries. Dorothy never stopped learning and made sure that she kept up professionally so that she was able to provide the highest level of service and provide as many resources to our patrons as possible in a rapidly changing world. She didn?t grouse about change; neither did she fall for techno-hype. She looked at each technology to determine what value it was to the library and its users and was an astute judge of what was significant and what was merely a bright shiny object of no real value in a medical library. She was very patient with me as I raved about the latest Web 2.0 doodad that I see now in retrospect Dorothy was right to dismiss as silly and to try to redirect me to something of more importance, like honing my search skills. Finally, I learned from Dorothy the importance of professional organizations such as the Pacific Northwest Chapter of the Medical Library Association and of the services of the Pacific Northwest Regional Medical Library of the National Network of Libraries of Medicine. For after Dorothy had to retire quite suddenly our library suddenly was without the expertise, steadiness and guidance she had provided. Luckily, Dorothy was so well liked in our region that many people from both the PNC/MLA and the RML were able to provide answers to the many questions that people like Dorothy handle so expertly. I am very grateful for Dorothy to introducing me to the world of medical librarianship and to the world of the MLA. After I wrote about Dorothy?s death I received many touching notes from librarians who had known her and admired her. And, very movingly, I received many from librarians who had not known her but who wished they had and they all stressed that in their notes that she embodied all that they strive to be in their professional lives: competent providers of health information and upstanding individuals. That is what Dorothy meant to me and what our profession means to all of us.

Message-ID: Hello, My name is Bess Korey and I am a Library Media Assistant student at PCC. I have a presentation to do tomorrow night about Social Networking and Librarians for a class and wanted to know if anyone here would be kind enough to answer some or all of these questions to help me with my project. Here they are: Does your library utilize any social networking websites? If so, which ones? Which social networking site do you prefer to use the most? Any specific reasons that other sites may have not worked out? How does your social network differ from your main library website? Do you use your social networking site to field any reference questions? If so, about how many come in a week or month? What type of social networking policies do you have established? What mistakes have you made with the site? Results? Or changes made to accommodate? How much time do you spend updating and utilizing your social network site? Do you feel as if social networking is a worthwhile use of your time? In general, have you had a positive experience with using social networking tools? Is there anything that you have found to be negative or challenging about them? I know this is short notice, but if you would be able to get your answers to me by 4 pm tomorrow afternoon (Monday, May 17th), it would be much appreciated. My e-mail is besskorey at gmail.com.

Message-ID: Hello Libs Org members, My name is Lisa Stringfield. I am a student in the Library Media Assistant certificate program at Portland Community College and would like the opportunity to interview a librarian who is currently maintaining a library blog. The interview will be incorporated into a research paper I am writing for my ED 206 Seminar class. I can conduct the interview over the phone, via email or in person - whatever is most convenient for you. If you are interested in assisting me, please email me before next Friday (May 28th), so I can schedule an interview time with you. Thank you. QUESTIONS: ? Do you feel library blogs are important in an educational / library setting? Why? ? How long have you maintained your library blog? When was it created? Did you start the blog? ? Do your students / patrons have access to the blog and can they update or add information? ? Do the faculty / staff read your library blog and provide feedback? ? How often do you update your library blog? How many hours a week do you spend on your library blog? ? Do you have RSS feeds on your blog? ? Do you feel librarians should maintain a library blog and why? Best, Lisa Maria Stringfield -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The American Library Association (ALA) says the Department of Education?s National Education Technology Plan (NETP) presents significant challenges that will take the coordinated effort of many stakeholders to overcome, and libraries are a resource that should be leveraged as the plan?s recommendations are carried out on the state and local levels. The ALA filed comments to the Department of Education in response to its call for public comment on the NETP to inform the agency of the ways school libraries integrate innovative technology into our nation?s schools and prepare students to thrive in the 21st century. ?Today?s graduates must be able to access, process, and utilize information found in a variety of formats. They must be able to create and then share the new knowledge they build. These skills are part of information literacy ? and something the school library community is uniquely prepared to deliver,? Emily Sheketoff, executive director of the ALA Washington Office, said in the association?s comments. ?Without these critical information literacy skills, including digital literacy skills, our K-12 students will not be able to use the technologies available to them productively upon graduation as they enter post secondary programs and eventually enter the 21st century workforce.? The ALA?s comments focus on the NETP?s sections on 1.0 Learning, 3.0 Teaching, 4.0 Infrastructure, and 5.0 Productivity. Within each section, ALA?s comments address the overarching principles illustrated by providing examples of the role the school librarian can play in helping the Department achieve its vision for the specific recommendations.

There probably would have been less furor if privacy settings were set originally at the most secure and then individuals had the opportunity to open their privacy levels up more instead of doing it the other way around. I don't know which view is correct but I would not think that any of this would affect libraries on Facebook because libraries basically want everyone to have all of their information so would probably opt for the very open settings.

Sager Oregon ALA Chapter Councilor -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [alacoun] New ALA Online Learning "pod" and page Date: Tue, 18 May 2010 14:01:25 -0400 From: Keith Michael Fiels To: Dear Councilors: I am really pleased to report that we have officially launched ALA Online Learning:- http://www.ala.org/ala/onlinelearning/index.cfm, a new section of the ALA website showcasing all web-based professional development opportunities across the Association. This new section will allow website visitors to easily find all ALA online training in one place for the first time ever. The new collaborative catalog is organized into five categories. Delving into the categories leads to more than 20 topics that cover the gamut of practice, trends, and services in librarianship: ? Collection Management ? Issues and Advocacy ? Management Issues for Library Leaders ? School Libraries ? Service Delivery in Libraries Online learning opportunities include webinars (live sessions), webcasts (pre-recorded sessions), online courses, and e-forums (interactive, asynchronous events with a defined duration). As web-based professional development programs are added to the site, they will appear in this new section. Although one purpose of the site is to expand the audience for the offerings of all units, you can also easily find online learning offered by a particular unit under ?Offerings by ALA Units.? Units working on online learning opportunities will be listed when they are ready to promote their offerings. A single access point for all ALA online learning has been a personal dream for years, and I would like to particularly thank Jenifer Grady and the many ALA staff members who worked with her on this project for ?making it happen?. In today?s economic climate, online learning will be more important than ever. Thanks to the new ALA Online Learning section, we can now access the rich offerings of the entire Association from a single page.

Motivating Students in Information Literacy Classes. New York: Neal-Schuman, 2004. 028.7071 Jacob ISBN 978-1555704971 Students learn best when they are motivated by and interested in the subject. This unique manual shows librarians and instructors how to develop engaging courses that will compel students to become effective and successful users of information both in their academic careers and their professional lives. Part One gives librarians the keys to understanding motivation essentials and teaches them to make information literacy courses more motivating to students and the value of intrinsic versus extrinsic motivation. Jacobson and Xu show how to utilize credit-bearing courses, course-related instruction, drop-in sessions, and first-year programs to create exciting and enticing instruction for students. They provide librarians with tips from instructors, notes from actual experience, innovative exercises and assignments, models of teaching behaviors, methods for increasing student participation, advice for assessment and grading, and considerations for Web-based instruction. [book6.jpg]Broughton, Vanda. Essential Thesaurus Construction. London: Facet, 2006. 025.49 Broug ISBN 978-1856045650 Many information professionals working in small units today fail to find the published tools for subject-based organization that are appropriate to their local needs, whether they are archivists, special librarians, information officers, or knowledge or content managers. This practical text examines the criteria relevant to the selection of a subject-management system, describes the characteristics of some common types of subject tool, and takes the novice step by step through the process of creating a system for a specialist environment. The methodology employed is a standard technique for the building of a thesaurus that incidentally creates a compatible classification or taxonomy, both of which may be used in a variety of ways for document or information management. Key areas covered are: Tools for subject access and retrieval; Examples of thesauri; the structure of a thesaurus; thesaural relationships; practical thesaurus construction; the vocabulary of the thesaurus; building the systematic structure; conversion to alphabetic format; forms of entry in the thesaurus; maintaining the thesaurus; thesaurus software; and the wider environment.

Enthusiastic participants range from toddlers to senior citizens, and in addition to being tons of fun, practical applications include literacy support, business training, and physical therapy.

Subsequent levels explore the benefits of embracing video games; resources (online, vendors, conventions, etc.); readers' advisory and reference support for gamers; program ideas; forms and flyers; management tips; collection development; and future trends. Inserts, screen shots, sidebars, and other visuals accompany step-by-step directions, check-off lists, and other user-friendly features. A companion Web site ensures timeliness.

Gale has decided to move all K12 Resource Center products to that interface at the same time instead of staggering the transition. To find out which products are affected, to preview the new interface, and to view an FAQ section, read the Gale email below. If you have plain text email and can't open the links mentioned in Gale's announcement, this link will get you to the same page: http://www.gale.cengage.com/NewRCs/index.htm?grid=10K12038. Use the navigation in the column on the left to explore. Notice that starting in June there will be webinars to train folks on the new interface. http://www.gale.cengage.com/NewRCs/faq.htm: FAQ / About the Transition / Will there be Webinars so I can learn more? Just to clarify, the webinars mentioned in the FAQ are offered by Gale on the national level. They are free and you have to register through their training calendar. We will also offer multiple webinar sessions for Oregon users in June, August, and late September or early October. Stay tuned to the listservs for more info about that. That means you'll have lots of opportunities to learn the new interface. Ready to explore now? Click on Watch an Overview in the left column of the New Resource Center site. I'm not sure why you have to give your name and email, but it's through Gale, so they won't spam you but might contact you directly in the near future about updates to the interface.

I just want to thank express thanks for the outpouring of sympathy and notes of condolence about the recent death of Dorothy O?Brien, former head of library services at Samaritan Health Services here in Corvallis, Oregon. I have made a compilation of those notes for Dorothy?s family and I think they will be touched not only by the beautifully written, heartfelt notes I received from many of those who knew and loved Dorothy but also by those who had not known Dorothy but who wrote to say how they wished they had and who said how lovely a person she must have been. I had not anticipated receiving notes from that latter group and that was a very consoling, inspiriting experience and a real tribute to Dorothy. It really made me proud to be in our profession to be the recipient of such kindness from strangers (and I know how busy you are!) when I was obviously quite sad and feeling bereft of a beloved mentor. I was also impressed by the eloquence of the notes, many of which stated very powerfully how important it was to the writer to have such models as Dorothy, what a consummate librarian she was and that the writer felt proud to be in the same profession. An added benefit of all of these notes was that they made me reflect on our profession and the sense of vocation and commitment to librarianship that suffused these notes. Reading them and compiling and was quite moving and also gave me something worthwhile and diverting to do in the sad interval between Dorothy?s death and her memorial service. I am personally very grateful for all those who wrote. Simple gestures have greater impact than we might realize and I was helped a great deal emotionally by opening email messages from librarians far and wide, from community hospital libraries to large research institutions. I would like to pass on one suggestion. Dorothy?s daughter very thoughtfully asked me after Dorothy?s death if there was something in her mother?s house I would like to remember to have to remember Dorothy by. I said that there indeed something and asked if I might have Dorothy?s library school diploma, which had hung in her office and which I had often looked at and had which spurred me to earn one of my own, which I did in 2009. It is now in my apartment and I will keep and treasure it for the rest of my life. If you have not hung your diplomas in your offices, you might consider doing so. It could be well that it will be gazed at by young housekeepers cleaning your office late at night and make them think seriously about higher education and would certainly be an inspiration to your staff. I often thought about the wording on Dorothy?s, ?rights, privileges and honors thereto? and am grateful to her for introducing me to a profession that includes such an amazing number of considerate people. That is one of the privileges and honors that Dorothy passed along to me and to her many other mentees. Here are links to the online obituaries of Dorothy for the newspaper of her hometown of Buffalo, Wyoming and that of Gillette, Wyoming where she worked as a medical librarian for many years if you would like to add comments: http://www.buffalobulletin.com/articles/2010/05/21/obituaries/doc4bf4237423bdf612190072.txt http://www.gillettenewsrecord.com/articles/2010/05/21/obituaries/monday/obit01.txt Hope Leman, MLIS Research Information Technologist Center for Health Research and Quality Samaritan Health Services 815 NW 9th Street Suite 203A Corvallis, OR 97330 (541) 768-5712 Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.

Also available in Baker City via videoconferencing: Community Meeting Room Baker County Public Library 2400 Resort St Baker City, OR 97814 Workshop Description: Is your library taking advantage of the free Add-ons for Firefox? One of the great features of Firefox, the popular open-source web browser, is the ability to create, share, and use add-ons, making Firefox a more flexible and customizable tool than competing web browsers. Come to this hands-on training to learn how you and your library can make use of these free tools. Add-ons to be discussed include * LibX (Bring your library to the desktops of your users, and make life easier for your collection development staff) * Zotero (Easier to use than RefWorks, and free!) * Accessibility features (A range of support tools for visibility and mobility impaired computer users) * Add to Search Bar (Make any page's search functionality available in the Search Bar) * AutoPager (Automatic loading of the next web page) * KwiClick (Enhance your interaction with Google, You Tube, and more) * PermaTabs (Make tabs of your choice available permanently) * and more! Our panel of experts includes: Theresa Yancey (Reference Librarian, Chemeketa Community College Library) who will discuss a variety of Firefox plugins for personal and professional use; Nicholas Schiller (Systems & Instruction librarian, WSU Vancouver Library) who will discuss accessibility plugins for Firefox; Michael Bowman (Engineering Librarian, Portland State University Library) who will discuss the Zotero citation management tool; and James Bunnelle (Acquisitions/Collection Development Librarian, Lewis & Clark College Library) who will discuss the LibX application. The panel will also discuss technical and administrative challenges and solutions involved in modding and extending software on both staff and workstation computers, the comparative advantages of closed source and open source software solutions, and other topics relating to web browsers and extending software. Please come ready to contribute to a vibrant conversation about the new possibilities and challenges raised by this emerging technology.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: In addition to most e-waste, Freegeek in SE Portland will take video/audio tapes for free and break them down for recycling. They are on 10th, a couple blocks south of Hawthorne. They probably don't want the containers though. But of course, FarWest Fiber will certainly take plastic cases of any kind, though they too probably want at least most of any paper separate from the cases.

Moderator Moises Na?m opened the session by explaining that at the Internet?s inception, it was clearly making a positive impact on democracy; now, ?governments have caught up? and discovered that it?s a powerful tool they can use to control people. Censorship and limitations on access are evolving from firewalls and filtering to ?next-generation? controls that and leverage existing agencies and enforce restrictions through user behavior with Web 2.0 technologies. Ultimately, many of these problems are social, not technological, and organizations invested in freedom of access can?t rely solely on technology to foster democracy, said panelist Ronald Deibert, co-founder and principal investigator of the Open Net Initiative.

Subject: Call for ILAGO Board Nominations May 28, 2010 Nominations for ILAGO Needed The Information Literacy Advisory Group of Oregon (ILAGO) is currently soliciting nominations for ILAGO's First Board. Nominations are for the 2010-2011 year, and positions will begin in September 2010. The Information Literacy Advisory Group of Oregon is a multidisciplinary group of Information Literacy educators in Oregon. We offer support and a forum for Oregon colleagues to participate in conversation about Information Literacy standards and practices at our colleges and universities. ILAGO organizes an annual Oregon Information Literacy Summit, which provides an opportunity for Oregon writing, library, and other faculty to come together to discuss IL instruction and practices at our institutions. Our ongoing conversation considers cooperative initiatives likely to influence the formation of IL standards in Oregon general education across the state. ILAGO has been active defining lower-division IL and sharing current instruction practices. Participants include representatives from community colleges and four-year institutions in multiple disciplines. For more information, read: http://ilago.wordpress.com/ Please consider nominating yourself or other persons (with their express permission) for a position on the ILAGO Board. The ILAGO Structure team (the 2008 IL Summit committee tasked with formalizing a structure for the Summit group) will collect nominations. Send nominations by June 8 to Michele Burke at michele.burke at chemeketa.edu . We will hold elections in mid-June. You must be subscribed to the ILAGO listserv in order to vote (for information on subscribing to the ILAGO list, visit http://lists.chemeketa.edu/mailman/listinfo/ilago ). The positions are: Chair The first Chair of the new ILAGO board will serve one year (2010-2011), followed by one year as Past Chair Vice Chair/Chair Elect 1 year term; acts as Chair the following 1 year term; acts as Past Chair for a 1 year term Communications Officer 2 year term Treasurer 2 year term Technology Officer 2 year term Two Board Members-at-Large 2 year term ( MAL positions may be elected on alternate years) Position descriptions: Chair facilitates discussion of IL articulation in Oregon and works closely with articulation groups in other disciplines, attending meetings as possible (e.g., attends OWEAC meetings). The Chair works with partner groups such as the Library Instruction Round Table. It is preferable the Chair position be held by a faculty person from disciplines that alternate from year to year. The Past Chair is also the chair of the current IL Summit planning committee. Vice-Chair/Chair-Elect assumes the office of Chair after one year as Vice Chair. The vice-chair assists the Chair; becomes familiar with the on-going conversation around IL in Oregon; facilitates the Oregon IL conversation and IL articulation among ILAGO members; attends meetings and chairs meetings in the absence of the Chair. Treasurer has approval authority for all expenditures below $250.00. The treasurer obtains the signature of the Chair for expenditures above $250.00 (two signatures are necessary for expenditures above $250.00); submits bills and receipts to ILAGO Chair; maintains records of all expenditures and profits for the organization. The primary project for 2010-2011 is to facilitate ILAGO's achieving nonprofit status. Communications Officer records minutes of the ILAGO meeting and IL Summit and communicates with membership via the ILAGO website, listserv, email, by phone, and face to face; assures ILAGO members receive copies of meeting minutes and announcements in a timely manner; promotes/publicizes the IL Summit. The Communications officer tracks membership and delivers an annual call for membership in order to maintain an updated voting list. Technology Officer maintains listserv and website, including gathering conference materials and making content from conference sessions accessible after the event; keeps website updated with current information and links to resources; ties together the IL Summit web presence and the ILAGO web presence. Board Members-at-Large represent the interests of the general membership. Board Members-at-Large are free from the constraints of the working details of the organization, but may become assisting personnel for officers in the organization by conducting projects and accepting other duties as needed.

To: district at ala.org FULL POST: http://bit.ly/aj58O6 -- District Dispatch has posted a new item, 'Senate Committee hears ?equal access is equal opportunity? At a hearing held yesterday, the U.S. Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee learned that one of the key ways to improve access to the Internet and technology for the deaf and blind is the interoperability of search engines and devices. July 25th marks the 20th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). New legislation proposed by both the House and Senate would require that technological barriers to access information be addressed just as the ADA mandated that physical barriers be dealt with. Chairman Senator Kerry (D-Mass) noted that the market won?t address these access concerns without the force of legislation and hoped that businesses would cooperate and make good faith efforts to improve access. Representative Markey (D-Mass) who sponsors the House bill (H.R. 6350 ? the ?Twenty-first Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act?) said that the ?broadband plan was designed to provide a broadband future for all Americans? and that delay in meeting the needs of the disabled was ?unacceptable.? The Senate legislation (S. 3304 ? Equal Access to 21st Century Communications Act) was praised by the panelists representing the visually and hearing impaired communities, the Coalition of Assistive Technology, and U.S. Army Sgt. Brian Pierce, an Iran war veteran who lost his sight and much of his hearing due to a severe brain injury from an IAD blast. Sgt. Pierce described his frustration finding a cell phone that was accessible and the high level of unemployed in the disabled community. Russell Harvard, a hearing impaired actor, said that ?equal access is equal opportunity.? He said that the disabled community should not have to ?drag behind? everyone else in access to information and communications technology. An archived webcast of the hearing is available at: http://commerce.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?p=Hearings&ContentRecord_id=4c38a45b-a9f2-4458-a4d3-cb22c48714fd&ContentType_id=14f995b9-dfa5-407a-9d35-56cc7152a7ed&Group_id=b06c39af-e033-4cba-9221-de668ca1978a You may view the latest post at http://www.wo.ala.org/districtdispatch/?p=49 You received this e-mail because you asked to be notified when new updates are posted.

As you likely know, HB 2586 passed last year and went into effect in January. As a result, school districts now have to indicate how they are planning for a ?strong school library program? as part of the district continuous improvement plan (CIP) that they submit every other year. A sub-committee of OASL worked with ODE, the Oregon Department of Education, to help draft the library questions for the CIP and has asked to be included in writing the language for the library portion of the OAR, or Oregon Administrative Rule. If ODE?s plans stay on track, the updated OAR should be in place by the end of December. Because some districts have to submit CIPs in September, OASL members mailed a letter and position statement about HB 2586 and a list of school library resources to all Oregon school superintendents and principals at the end of April. You can view the letter and resources at www.oasl.info/resources/HB2586.html. Below is the email that Susan Stone, a member of the HB 2586 sub-committee, posted to the OASL listserv about this matter. FYI, Jen Jennifer Maurer School Library Consultant Library Development Oregon State Library 250 Winter Street NE Salem, OR 97301-3950 503-378-5011 jennifer.maurer at state.or.us To receive the latest news about OSLIS, www.oslis.org, sign up for the listserv, OSLIST, at http://listsmart.osl.state.or.us/mailman/listinfo/oslist. Dear OASL Membership: Hitting the mailboxes of superintendents and principals this week is a letter from OASL sharing information about House Bill 2586 ? the 2009 legislation that requires school districts to respond to how they are implementing a ?strong school library program? in their district. Following the passage of House Bill 2586 last Fall, a sub-committee of OASL board members received the opportunity to draft language to help communicate the inclusion of HB 2586 into the Continuous Improvement Plans (otherwise referred to as "CIP" or the district-level version of a School Improvement Plan). It?s our understanding that it?s unusual for the ODE advisory committee to include stakeholder such as ourselves, so we were very pleased to have participated. We?ve been itching to hear what/how the State would spread the word to administrators, but as yet details have not been put forth for the 2010-11 plans (we?re told maybe by next Fall). Thus, we decided to craft an OASL Position Statement on the Characteristics of a Strong School Library Program to inform, guide and advocate for strong school library programs. You can see what we mailed earlier this week to 1400 principals and 200 superintendents online at www.oasl.info/resources/HB2586.html . You'll also find resources you can use to advocate for your library, and that your administration will find helpful as they address the school library portion of the CIP document. Check with your administrator ? did he/she get the letter? Does he/she have questions you/we can help with? Every district is in a different place in terms of having a school library program, much less a ?strong? school library program. Since the CIP document is often filled out by district rather than school level administrators, find out who has this responsibility in your district and offer your support in crafting a plan. If you have any questions, contact our current and incoming presidents via their emails below. Good luck! We?ll keep you posted.

Message-ID: I just signed the petition sent out by Credo and am supplying information about their petition below. Rep. Schrader is one of the people who has signed one of these letters. the information from Credo is below. I will also be calling Rep. Schraeder about this issue, outside of the Credo petition. The American Library Association has been part of the coalition working to help us maintain Net Neutrality. You can find more information here: http://www.ala.org/ala/issuesadvocacy/telecom/netneutrality/index.cfm On this page is a good section that you can use about why net neutrality is important. I am attaching a bit with this message. I hope you will contact your Senators and Representatives and let them know how important net neutrality is. For contact information just go to http://capwiz.com/ala/dbq/officials/?affiliate_lookup=1 ----------------------------- Why does Net Neutrality matter to libraries? The American Library Association is a strong advocate for intellectual freedom, which is the ?right of all peoples to seek and receive information from all points of view without restriction.? Intellectual freedom is critical to our democracy, because we rely on people?s ability to inform themselves. The Internet connects people of diverse geographical, political, or ideological origins, greatly enhancing everyone?s ability to share and to inform both themselves and others. Our libraries? longstanding commitment to freedom of expression in the realm of content is well-known; in the context of the net neutrality debate, however, we believe it is equally important to stress that the freedom of libraries and librarians to provide innovative new kinds of information services will be central to the growth and development of our democratic culture. A world in which librarians and other noncommercial enterprises are of necessity limited to the Internet?s ?slow lanes? while high-definition movies can obtain preferential treatment seems to us to be overlooking a central priority for a democratic society -- the necessity of enabling educators, librarians, and, in fact, all citizens to inform themselves and each other just as much as the major commercial and media interests can inform them. The ability of the Internet to spread and share ideas is only getting better. With modern technology, individuals and small groups can produce rich audio and video resources that used to be the exclusive domain of large companies. We must work to ensure that these resources are not relegated to second-class delivery on the Internet ? or else the intellectual freedoms fostered by the Internet will be constrained. One application that libraries are especially invested in is distance learning. Classes offered using audio and video streamed over the Internet have huge potential to bring expert teachers into the homes of students around the globe. ------------------------------------------------- >From Credo: Subject: 74 Democrats sold us out to AT&T, Verizon and Comcast Dear Friend, 74 Democratic members of Congress just sold you out to AT&T, Verizon and Comcast. They signed industry-backed letters telling the FCC to abandon efforts to protect Internet users by prohibiting big companies from blocking Internet traffic. Not only is this letter an attack on net neutrality, but by signing the industry letter, they are attempting to drastically undercut the FCC's ability to make a fast, affordable and open Internet available to everyone in America. They are actually taking a position against the interests of rural and low-income communities. This is unacceptable. We need to make sure these members of Congress know that their constituents are paying attention and will hold them accountable when they undermine net neutrality protections. I just signed a petition to these 74 House Democrats telling them that I'm upset by their decision to side with the wealthy telecommunications corporations over their constituents. I hope you do, too.
