A reduction of $156,780 was made in June in response to an order from Governor Kulongoski for across the board cuts in most agencies. A second round was ordered by the Governor on August 26th. The reductions are a response to continued forecasts of declining state General Fund revenue. The State Library's reduction target for this new round of reductions was $102,204. The Board approved $20,800 in reductions in Talking Book and Braille Services (TBABS). The remaining $81,404 in reductions was made to the Ready to Read Grant program. This reduction will bring the FY11 grants down to a total of $529,972, a 26% reduction to the grants made in FY10. The plan that the Board approved was submitted to the Department of Administrative Services on September 14th and was approved by the Governor on September 27th. The next state revenue forecast will be released by the State Economist on November 19, 2010. BOARD TO DELIBERATE ON ADMINISTRATIVE RULE CHANGES IN OCTOBER At their meeting on October 15, 2010, in Salem, the State Library Board will hold a public hearing and deliberate on changes to the Library's Administrative Rules. The proposed changes would reduce the number of state document depository libraries by one and make other minor changes to the administrative rules concerning the state document depository program. Another proposed change would modify the way that libraries might be assessed to partially support the L-net virtual reference program in the future. A public hearing on the changes will be held at 11:00 a.m. Written testimony may be sent to Jim Scheppke by email prior to the public hearing. In addition to the public hearing and deliberations on rule changes, the Board will hear recommendations from the LSTA Advisory Council about competitive grant awards in 2011 and other elements of the LSTA program. The Board will also conduct the annual evaluation of the State Librarian and conduct the annual post-transaction review of agency head financial transactions. An open forum will be held at 1:00 p.m. Anyone may address the Board in the open forum on any topic. The meeting will be held in Room 102 at the State Library, beginning at 9:30 a.m. State Library News STATE LIBRARY MAKES ONLINE VOTERS PAMPHLETS AVAILABLE The Government Research Services team is pleased to announce the completion of phase one of the Online Voters Pamphlet Project. Over the past year, staff have scanned all general and special election pamphlets for Marion County. This treasure trove of historical information includes most statewide races and voter initiatives since the pamphlets began in 1904. The original pamphlets are newsprint and can be quite fragile. Finding specific content can also be difficult unless you know the exact election that contains the information you need. The online site resolves these challenges. Each pamphlet is scanned as a PDF document. All the content is searchable using a Google custom search engine installed on the pamphlet site. Since the availability of the pamphlets was announced earlier this month, many researchers and librarians have responded enthusiastically. One journalist wrote, "I just can't help myself from reading through more back issues of the Oregon Voters Pamphlet." Phase two of the project will be digitizing and indexing the Marion county primaries. This project should begin in early 2011. For more information, contact Dave Hegeman.

Other Library News FIVE LIBRARY ELECTIONS WILL BE DECIDED IN NOVEMBER Operating funds and a bond measure for Oregon public libraries will be at issue on the November 2nd general election ballot. Perhaps the most important election will take place in Hood River County, where library supporters are trying to bounce back from an election defeat in May and reopen the Hood River County Library, closed since July 1st. Voters in the county will decide on creating a new special library district with a permanent tax rate of 39 cents per $1,000 assessed valuation. This rate is much lower than the 70 cents per $1,000 rate that was voted down in May. The new financial plan for the Library was developed by Hood River Mayor Arthur Babitz and other library supporters. The rate is expected to raise about $643,500 annually, which is less than the average county support the library has received in recent years. Babitz told the County Commissioners that the library will need to make up for having less tax revenue by making greater use of volunteers and fund-raising. Also on the November ballot is a renewal of the 17 cent per $1,000 local option levy for the Washington County Cooperative Library Services. The levy provides operating funds and cooperative services to all of the public libraries in Washington County. In Multnomah County voters will be asked to amend the county charter to enable the commissioners to put a library district measure on the ballot at some future date. The Multnomah County Library currently gets its operating funds from a five year local option levy and from the county General Fund. In Damascus voters will get a chance to annex to the Library Service District of Clackamas County that was formed two years ago. At that time the City of Damascus opted out of the district and city residents lost their public library service. In Lake County, voters will be asked to approve a bond measure that would provide the last of the funding needed to complete a new library in Lakeview in addition to a new branch in Christmas Valley. CONNECTING TO COLLECTIONS (C2C) PROJECT CONTINUES THIS FALL In 2006, the Heritage Health Index identified millions of items in the nation's cultural institutions that were in danger due to poor conditions, lack of training, and other causes. As a result of the study, the Institute for Museum & Library Services made funds available to states for planning purposes. With a grant from the IMLS, Oregon museums, libraries and other cultural institutions are planning together for Oregon's preservation training needs. The C2C grant project's Steering Committee and project coordinator, Ruth Metz, have held five regional meetings to gather information about the training needs of those who work with Oregon's heritage collections. These regional meetings will help the Steering Committee structure a statewide survey to verify and quantify preservation training needs across museums, libraries, and archives. Look for the survey in October and the survey report in December. What then? The survey report will be the launching pad for an Oregon heritage leadership summit in January 2011. The summit will result in an action plan for improving heritage collections through training. For more information contact Ruth Metz, the Project Coordinator (503-422-8024), or go to the C2C project blog. HILLSBORO AND LAKE OSWEGO LIBRARIES WILL PILOT EBOOK PROMOTION The Hillsboro Public Library and the Lake Oswego Public Library have been chosen to be among the first 30 public libraries in the U.S. to partner with Sony on a project to make library users more aware of the advantages of e-books. The Sony Reader Library Program was announced this year at the American Library Association Conference. The State Library worked with the Oregon Digital Library Consortium to select the libraries to be among a handful of libraries in the U.S. to pilot test the program. The libraries will each receive four Sony Readers to demonstrate to staff and to library users. Two of the devices will be tethered to a free-standing floor display. The libraries will also receive staff training from Sony and other materials to promote e-books. Once Sony completes the pilot test at the initial libraries and gets feedback, they plan to offer the program nationwide to as many as 30 libraries a month. "This validates the State Library Board's investments this year to jumpstart the availability of e-books on Library2Go," said State Librarian Jim Scheppke. "I think Oregon is now seen as a leader in lending e-books from our public libraries." ADULTS AND CHILDREN PARTICIPATE IN SUMMER READING IN WASHINGTON COUNTY This year eleven of the fifteen Washington County Cooperative Library Services (WCCLS) member libraries offered an adult summer reading program to local residents. For many parents this provided an excellent opportunity to model for their children the value of reading not only for its educational value, but for enjoyment. Just over 2,000 adults participated in the 2010 program. All fifteen WCCLS member libraries continued to provide youth and teen summer reading programs - reaching 25,784 participants. Each year the youth and teens are given the opportunity of setting their own reading goals for the summer - with several incentives provided to encourage them to achieve these goals. Incentives include such things as free tickets to a Portland Trail Blazers game or discounted admission to Oaks Amusement Park. This year fifty-two percent of all participants reached their reading goals (13,471 kids). By contrast, just over 17,000 kids participated in the reading program during the summer of 2005 with 9,013 meeting their reading goals. FEDERAL COURT RULES OREGON HARMFUL TO MINORS LAW UNCONSTITUTIONAL In September, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Oregon laws designed to prevent sexually explicit literature from being provided to minors was unconstitutional, overturning a lower court decision. Powells Books, the ACLU and other organizations have been seeking to overturn the law, adopted in 2007. The court ruled that "speech that is neither obscene as to youths nor subject to some other legitimate proscription cannot be suppressed solely to protect the young from ideas or images that a legislative body thinks unsuitable for them." The ruling does not affect libraries because the Oregon Library Association worked hard to exempt libraries from the legislation. OLA Lobbyist Nan Heim and OLA member Candace Morgan served on a work group that drafted the bill, at the request of the bill's sponsor. Nan Heim recalls that, "When Governor Kulongoski signed the bill, he held a news conference in the children's room of the downtown Central Library," in Portland. At press time the Oregon Department of Justice had not decided whether to appeal the Federal court ruling to a higher court. P.S. (From the State Librarian) We get a newspaper clipping service at the State Library, and I can always tell when the statewide Summer Reading Program is winding down by the size of the packet of clippings I get every week or so. In the summer the packet is fat. Local newspapers love to cover summer reading. It makes for such good photo opportunities. Who doesn't love a picture of kids getting turned on to books? By now our clippings packets have returned to normal. But all indications are that Oregon public libraries served many thousands of Oregon children with activities and incentives to promote their engagement with books over the summer. We won't have the numbers for a few months yet, but last year we know over 177,000 Oregon children participated in our statewide Summer Reading Program. I expect that this year the number will be higher. While 177,000 sounds like a lot of kids, we could be serving a lot more. According to the latest estimates from the Population Research Center at Portland State University there are about 496,000 children ages 5 to 14 in Oregon, the prime demographic for summer reading. There is more and more education research that shows that summer reading is key to having a child become a proficient reader. A recent book, Summer Reading: Program and Evidence, by Fay Shin and Stephen Krashen (Pearson, 2008), summarizes the research and makes a startling claim that summer reading may explain most of the so-called "achievement gap" in reading performance between minority and low-income children and other children: "Studies show that children of the poor and children of higher-income families show similar growth over the school year; children from higher-income families, however, make much more progress over the summer. Over time, the contribution of summer reading growth appears to be enough to account for the difference in performance on reading tests between these two groups of children (p. 19)." And why do higher-income children read more? It's simple, according to the research. They have more access to books. There is a myth out there that some children are "reluctant readers." The reality is that they just need a good librarian to engage them with books that fit their interests and reading level. In Oregon, as in most states, the reading achievement gap is large. For example, in the 2009 National Assessment of Education Progress 8th grade reading test, Latino students in Oregon scored 22 points below white students, and students qualifying for free and reduced-price lunches also had an average score 22 points below students who did not qualify. Beginning with this year's class of high school juniors, passing the state reading test will be a graduation requirement for all Oregon students. Shouldn't that fact alone, coupled with the research on the importance of summer reading, motivate us to reach out and try to have every Oregon child participate in the Oregon Summer Reading Program? - Jim Scheppke Contacts at the Oregon State Library Library Development: 503-378-2525, MaryKay Dahlgreen, Mary Mayberry, Darci Hanning, Ann Reed, Jennifer Maurer, Katie Anderson.

Message-ID: <20101003173031.192167ldsj1abv3b@webmail.reed.edu> On Saturday October 9th, a big yellow school bus will drive us around to Low Brow Lounge, Produce Row, Landmark Saloon and Radio Room. Local trivia master, Shan Rock, will lead us in rounds of trivia as we eat, drink and make merry. It's only $30 to participate, the money goes to a great cause and it's a really fun time! First Book is a great organization that grants book-buying money to local Portland organizations such as Early Head Start and West Women's Shelter. The purpose of the grants is to purchase books for low-income children. The kids actually get to own the books and take them home which is often a rarity for them. There's a huge demand for the grants so we're doing our best to raise money for next year's grant cycle. More information can be found at www.firstbook.org/portlandor.

Thanks to those of you who wrote to me. Several people were also interested in the responses I got, so I have compiled them below. Cheers, Mo RESPONSES TO REQUEST FOR WEB CALENDAR/OUTLOOK HELP The question: The City is not completely satisfied with the calendar tool that comes along with our Drupal based web site. In addition, we are hoping to find a way to link Outlook events directly to our web site. If you are using a wonderful web calendar, could you contact me. Further, if you have ideas about how to link Outlook events directly to a web calendar, we'd be very interested in knowing about that. The answers: 1. We recently switched to Google for email and our web site, and love it. You can have a users Outlook calendar sync with a users Google calendar automatically 2. Saw your post on libs-or, and I wanted to share a couple of ideas: a) If you're using Outlook 2007 or 2010, I believe they come with a built-in "publish Outlook calendar to the web" functionality. See these documents @ microsoft: Office 2007 - http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/publish-a-calendar-on-office-online-HA010080983.aspx Office 2010 - http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/publish-and-share-calendars-on-office-com-HA010355570.aspx#_Toc260571271 b) If you want to use a Google calendar, Google offers a tool you can install which will periodically sync an Outlook calendar with a Google calendar: http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=98563 c) Outlook can export calendars in the iCalendar format, which a lot of other calendar tools can import. Hopefully, other list readers can give you some ideas for other products that might fit your needs (I don't know of any of the top of my head). d) Finally, on our previous-generation WL library website, I wrote a script that would automatically pull calendar data from a source (either an Excel file, access database, or a specific Outlook calendar), extract the relevant event details, generate custom HTML and upload the file to our server. This method requires a bit of up front work, but gives you a lot of control over how the calendar looks (as you're writing the HTML yourself). 3. Our University campus uses EMS software for web-based calendars and scheduling. You can compare different versions of EMS at: http://www.dea.com/ProductsAndServices/Compare.aspx Billing for reserved spaces/services is available for most versions. EMS Workspace http://www.dea.com/ProductsAndServices/Workplace/Default.aspx might work for you. "While your EMS system administrators and facility managers will typically utilize the powerful "client" application via the desktop or web interface, the majority of your users will access the system in other ways for different purposes. For example... * From the road to get details on a scheduled event or space availability * To reserve a room on-the-spot for an impromptu gathering * From within Microsoft Outlook(r) to invite attendees and book the room and resources for a meeting" The Hatfield Marine Science Center uses Office Tracker to show the public events calendar. Hope this helps. 4. Our website also uses the built-in drupal calendar. I know this is pretty customizable, though. Brian - who created our website - also created Oregon City's, so maybe he can create something better for them, but of course that costs more money. I know it is possible to publish an Outlook calendar to the web, although I've never done it. I did some quick Google searching and it almost looks as though it publishes as a static web page instead of something interactive where you can click an event on a certain calendar day and have it take you to a page that gives more info about that event. Maybe the best bet would be to use a Google calendar, which can be embedded onto the library's website, just like LINCC does for kids and adult events. It's free to use and very easy to create new events. I also found this article, which talks about this very topic: http://www.techsoup.org/learningcenter/webbuilding/page6690.cfm 5. Can you use Google calendars? I suggest it because I've noticed that my granddaughter's elementary school uses it: http://holcomb.orecity.k12.or.us/calendar It looks like you can sync it with Outlook: http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=89955 [cid:image001.jpg at 01CB647A.94DB9F80] Maureen Cole mcole at orcity.org Library Director Oregon City Public Library 606 John Adams Street Oregon City, Oregon 97045 503-657-8269 ext 1010 503-657-3702 Fax Website: www.orcity.org/library PUBLIC RECORDS LAW DISCLOSURE: This e-mail is subject to the State Retention Schedule and may be made available to the public.

This month, we have news about upcoming webinars, a Library Spotlight, a TechSoup Product Spotlight, our Surdna grant, and a new survey. You received this email because you participated in a webinar, contributed content, ordered products, or were interested in resources from TechSoup or the MaintainIT Project. Free TechSoup Webinars [http://img.getactivehub.com/act2/custom_images/techsoup/TStalks-banner.gif] Cloud Computing Thursday, October 14, 2010, 11:00 a.m. Pacific (Noon Mountain / 1pm Central / 2 pm Eastern) The term cloud computing is being used more and more, but what is it and why should you make an effort to understand it? In this free webinar we will explain what cloud computing means, define the different types, discuss how it is impacting nonprofits and libraries, and outline some criteria for use. We'll discuss the challenges of using the "cloud," and if cloud computing can simplify your life and reduce software and IT staffing costs. Hear from Anna Jaeger, co-director, GreenTech at TechSoup Global, and Peter Campbell, nonprofit technologist at Earthjustice, who will help you understand this topic in order to better communicate with your consultants, staff, and board. To get a sense of what we will be discussing, read the blog post Why Should Nonprofits Care About Cloud Computing, and watch this short introductory video by Common Craft, Cloud Computing in Plain English. The Story of an Open Source Library Thursday, October 21, 2010, 11:00 a.m. Pacific (Noon Mountain / 1pm Central / 2pm Eastern) This webinar will cover specific open source tools (some of which you may not have heard of before!) that work well for libraries and the benefits and challenges associated with their use. Meadville Public Library uses open source software on 90% of their public access computers. Cindy Murdock Ames, IT services director and Kyle Hall, the library's on-staff developer, will share recommendations for libraries considering open source software and how to get started successfully. Cindy has been using open source software for over 10 years, which has allowed the library to save licensing costs and have more control over its computing environment. The library uses open source tools for their websites, e-mail, Internet firewall, wireless router, proxying, filtering, and productivity software, and thin clients for Internet access and to run Koha for the circulation and public catalogs. Security Basics: Keep your Computers Safe Thursday, October 28, 2010, 11:00 a.m. Pacific (Noon Mountain / 1pm Central / 2pm Eastern) When you have computers connected to the Internet or to any external device, you need to take precautions. Security threats can not only cause harm to your computers but could damage files on your network or put sensitive data at risk. This free webinar will help you understand what the threats are and how your computers can get infected. Kami Griffiths from TechSoup will interview Marian Merritt, an Internet safety advocate from Symantec Corporation, who will explain what employees should know about this topic and which specific activities can be problematic. This webinar is ideal for anyone who seeks a basic understanding of security threats or needs a refresher course. You can discuss TechSoup webinars on Twitter with the hashtag #techsoup, join us for a live-stream of the events in Second Life, or visit our archives. TechSoup Library Spotlight: Jaketha Farmer [Jaketha]We first profiled Jaketha's technology work when she had recently become the Bossier Parish Library's first systems administrator and had big plans for overhauling the library's IT infrastructure. Years later, she now has a firm foundation and exciting plans for the future of her Louisiana library. Read her new spotlight to find out exactly how she used her limited resources to conquer all types of public access computing issues, from printers to firewalls to wireless and technology training. TechSoup Product Spotlight: Symantec Donation Program Symantec can help protect your library's computers against spyware, viruses, and other security risks. Some of Symantec's most popular security products, such as Norton AntiVirus 2010, are available for administrative fees as low as $4.00.

[Symantec logo]We are pleased to announce that the Symantec Donation Program now includes Symantec Enterprise Products, Symantec Desktop Products, and Subscription Renewals for Symantec Desktop Products. Qualifying organizations are invited to maximize the individual benefits of one, two, or all three of these exciting offerings. Learn how to fight spam with TechSoup's Spam Prevention Toolkit, ask your spam questions in the Virus Vaccination and Computer Security Forum, and check out the Learning Center's Virus FAQ. When you follow basic security guidelines, you'll save time and money by ensuring that your resources are spent on your community and your mission, and not on recovering your hard drive or deleting spam. TechSoup's donation program helps stretch your library's budget. You can save 80-96% on brand-new software donated by top companies. The products, including Microsoft donated software and refurbished computers, are available to all public libraries that are listed in the IMLS database and/or have a valid 501(c)(3) nonprofit status and to nonprofits with a 501(c)(3) designation. Connecting BTOP Grantees to Resources At TechSoup we amass stories and experiences from libraries and nonprofits and share them in meaningful ways. Whether in a webinar, an article, or through links to good resources, we're a conduit to what we're hearing in the field. One of the projects we're working on currently is an effort -- funded by the Surdna Foundation -- to gather resources to help organizations that received BTOP funding. Like the work we did on the MaintainIT Project to create technology Cookbooks, this project is both a fact-finding mission and a sharing endeavor. We're talking to folks who received BTOP funding and who are in the process of implementing their projects. Over time, we'll blog about what we're hearing, and it's our hope that if you're working on a project to improve broadband access or adoption--BTOP-funded or not--you'll weigh in and tell us your story. The more information we can gather about project successes and challenges, the richer and more meaningful the resources we'll create and share. Monthly Survey: BTOP Funding [baby]Each month, we have a 2-3 question survey to gather your ideas and to make sure we're offering products and services useful to you and your library. When you complete the survey, we enter your name in a monthly prize drawing, and Sarah's daughter selects a winner. Our new winner is Kim Grohs, from the Sussex County Library System in Newton, NJ! This month's survey is a very short one to determine what BTOP-funded projects libraries participate in and what resources you would find helpful at your library to support BTOP projects. Many thanks for all your continued participation and support. We'd love to promote your library in our work. Tell us a library technology story, or share a moment when you were particularly proud of solving a technology issue. Don't forget that what might be "that's nothing" to you may be an "aha!" to someone else! -Stephanie Gerding techsoupforlibraries at techsoup.org TechSoup Global is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization working towards the day when every nonprofit, library, and social benefit organization on the planet has the technology knowledge and resources they need to operate at their full potential.

All entries must be postmarked December 10, 2010 http://www.oregon.gov/OSL/LD/youthsvcs/aboutlit.shtml Letters About Literature is a national reading and writing contest. Students write letters to an author explaining how that author's book changed their way of thinking about the world or themselves. There are three competition levels: Level I for 4th-6th graders, Level II for 7th-8th graders, and Level III for 9th-12th graders. Oregon's three winners (one from each competition level) will go on to compete nationally. Librarians and teachers can download and print entry forms, bookmarks, and stickers to distribute to your students and patrons. Lesson plans and an outline connecting Letters About Literature to national language arts and reading standards are available online. In 2010 over 1,200 students in Oregon entered the contest, and 1 in 11 of them received cash prizes or gift certificates to Borders bookstore. These prizes are made possible through support from the Oregon Reading Association, Oregon Association of School Libraries, and the Oregon Library Association's Children Services Division and Young Adult network. At the national level 6 winners and 12 honorable mentions will be selected. National winners receive a $500 Target gift certificate and a $10,000 grant to donate to the public or school library of the winner's choice. Honorable mentions receive a $100 Target gift certificate and a $1,000 grant to donate to the public or school library of their choice.

Opportunity for All: How the American Public Benefits from Internet Access at U.S. Libraries (call # US NF 4.2 In8x) The library's role as a technology resource has increased dramatically, and now nearly every library in the country offers free access to computers and the Internet. Millions of people rely on library technology to find work, apply for college, secure government benefits, learn about critical medical treatments, and connect with their communities. Unfortunately libraries are struggling to maintain the technology necessary to keep pace with demand. The University of Washington Information School, with funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Institute of Museum and Library Services, conducted this first of its kind, large-scale study of who uses public computers and Internet access in public libraries, the ways library patrons use this free technology service, why they use it, and how it affects their lives. About the Report: Title: Opportunity for All: How the American Public Benefits from Internet Access at U.S. Libraries (PDF, 2.57 MB, 212 pages) Prepared by: University of Washington Information School and the Institute of Museum and Library Services Date Published: March 2010 For more information, check out our Library and Information Science (LIS) blog (http://osl-lis.blogspot.com/) Discover the most recent additions to our LIS collection and search our catalog (http://oregon.gov/OSL/index.shtml) for our complete holdings.

It was established through a generous gift from the late Dr. Layton Horner to the Oregon State Library, and continues through a partnership between the Oregon State Library and OLA's International Relations Round Table. Our international partners are the Fujian Provincial Library and the Fujian Library Association. Fujian is Oregon's sister province in China and the Fujian Provincial Library maintains a sister library relationship with the Oregon State Library.

All entries must be postmarked December 10, 2010 http://www.oregon.gov/OSL/LD/youthsvcs/aboutlit.shtml Letters About Literature is a national reading and writing contest. Students write letters to an author explaining how that author's book changed their way of thinking about the world or themselves. There are three competition levels: Level I for 4th-6th graders, Level II for 7th-8th graders, and Level III for 9th-12th graders. Oregon's three winners (one from each competition level) will go on to compete nationally. Librarians and teachers can download and print entry forms, bookmarks, and stickers to distribute to your students and patrons. Lesson plans and an outline connecting Letters About Literature to national language arts and reading standards are available online. In 2010 over 1,200 students in Oregon entered the contest, and 1 in 11 of them received cash prizes or gift certificates to Borders bookstore. These prizes are made possible through support from the Oregon Reading Association, Oregon Association of School Libraries, and the Oregon Library Association's Children Services Division and Young Adult network. At the national level 6 winners and 12 honorable mentions will be selected. National winners receive a $500 Target gift certificate and a $10,000 grant to donate to the public or school library of the winner's choice.

ALA seeks clarification on FCC E-rate Order October 14, 2010 ( No Comments) It may appear that all has been quiet in the Washington Office regarding E-rate, but things are never quiet for long with E-rate. Since the release of the FCC?s Sixth Report and Orderon September 28, we have been reviewing the numerous changes in the Order and assessing their potential impact on applicants especially in relation to the 2011 E-rate application process. While there was great excitement with the initial release, as with all things E-rate, when the dust settles, it remains important to vigilantly evaluate program changes in order to fully understand the effect even minor changes in language can have on applicants. The FCC produced this newest Order in about four months. It was part of the Commission?s effort to follow through with recommendations made in the National Broadband Plan to update the E-rate program and make it easier for more schools and libraries to benefit from this successful program. This monumental task began with the release of a Notice of Proposed Rule Making in May which generated over 3,000 pages of comments from some 400 commenters. Now that stakeholders, including ALA, have had the opportunity to read through the resulting Order, it is clear that there are a number of areas that will require further clarification ? perhaps even changes ? from the Commission. Fortunately, we have Linda Schatz as our E-rate consultant as well as additional help from OITP Fellow, Bob Bocher advising us on telecommunications policy and library connectivity. We gain ?real world? input from the ALA E-rate Task force (Linda Lord, chair and Maribeth Krupczak, vice-chair). With the help of this expertise, ALA identified areas in the Order that require more clarity. ALA is paying particular attention to the addition of dark fiber to the 2011 Eligible Services List. While ALA generally supports increasing the options for libraries to select the most cost-effective solution for their Internet and/or telecommunications needs, we remain attentive as to how this addition will be implemented. Applicants need clear rules and guidance to be able to take full advantage of this new option while at the same time ensuring that they have been compliant with the new rules. ALA has met with FCC staff several times to bring some of our issues to their attention and to seek the clarification we know is necessary in order to provide libraries with the most accurate information possible. ALA is also generating a list of questions collected from state E-rate coordinators and members of the E-rate Task Force to submit to the Commission for its consideration. At the very least, it is likely that the Commission will issue an erratum to address minor issues. It is also possible that the Commission may issue an Order on Reconsideration to address any significant areas that it determines require more in depth clarification or to make actual changes to the Order. Through our meetings and discussions with FCC staff, it is clear that their intent is to address concerns brought to their attention so that additional clarity and/or changes can be made as necessary. In any case, we are in a period of flux as we await further action by the FCC. Here in the Washington Office, we will continue to advocate on behalf of E-rate applicants and will inform the library community as new information comes to light.

[cid:image005.jpg at 01CB6C84.0F2866E0] Doucett, Elisabeth. What They Don't Teach You in Library School. Chicago: American Library Association, 2011. ISBN: 978-0-8389-3592-7 This slim, easy-to-read volume is broken into three parts based on what you need to know before you get a library job, while new on the job, and as you gain experience. Product Description from ALA: MLS programs do a good job of teaching the basic skills of being a librarian - how to catalog books, how to clarify a reference request, how to run a story hour. But as any working librarian will tell you, that's not the half of it. A long-time library administrator, Elisabeth Doucett gives new librarians a full dose of practical advice and wisdom that remains between the lines of most library curriculum, while also teaching seasoned professionals a thing or two. Gleaned from years of hard-fought experience, this book * Covers a variety of library topics that are truly relevant to the day-to-day job, such as management, administration, and marketing * Shows how librarians can use practical business and organizational skills to do a better job and further their careers * Presents information in a grab-and-go format that's ready to apply in the real world For MLS graduates just entering the job market, as well as individuals interested in switching gears through promotion or advancement, Doucett offers the inside scoop on what a librarian really needs to know. [cid:image006.jpg at 01CB6C84.0F2866E0] Cryer, Max. Common Phrases: and the Amazing Stories Behind Them. New York: Skyhorse, 2010. ISBN: 978-0-8389-1097-9 This book is "as good as gold" for word buffs..."I kid you not!" In day-to-day speech we use words and phrases without a passing thought as to why we use them or where they come from. Max Cryer changes all that by showing how fascinating the English language really is. Did you know that the former host of Today, Jane Pauley, claims to have coined the term "bad hair day," or that a CBS engineer named Charley Douglass invented the name and use of "canned laughter" for television, or that "cold turkey" as a term for quitting something immediately was popularized by the novel and movie (starring Frank Sinatra), The Man with the Golden Arm? Here you'll learn the origins of "credibility gap," "my lips are sealed," "the opera's not over until the fat lady sings," "supermarket," "supermodel," "there's no accounting for taste," "thick as thieves," and hundreds more. For anyone who loves language, this new book will "take the cake." How to Request Materials from OSL If you would like to request these or other materials from the Oregon State Library, please use your library's established interlibrary loan process or send your full name, the name of your library, complete title information, shipping address, and a phone number to the document delivery department at library.request at state.or.us or (fax) 503-588-7119.

Only one survey per library/library system should be submitted. If you are responsible for summer reading at your library, please talk to your library director about this survey. The deadline for completing it is Monday, November 8. The annual summer reading survey is more important than ever! The survey has been revised to reduce the number of summer reading surveys in the future. As always this survey asks for your summer reading statistics. In addition this is your library's opportunity to: * order your 2012 summer reading manual which includes children?s, teen, and adult programming ideas. * order your 2011 children?s and teen summer reading certificates. * order materials for the 2011 summer reading sweepstakes for children and teens. * suggest future summer reading themes and slogans for children?s, teens, and adult programs. * provide feedback regarding the Collaborative Summer Library Program materials and resources. * provide feedback regarding summer reading in general (summer reading certificates and the new sweepstakes). * This means that all the critical things Oregon public libraries need to do regarding summer reading are all in this one survey. To learn more about summer reading resources in Oregon please visit: http://www.oregon.gov/OSL/LD/youthsvcs/oregon.srp.certificate.shtml There should only be two more surveys regarding summer reading this year. One to vote on the Oregon Summer Reading Certificates and one to vote on the future CSLP summer reading theme and slogans. These two surveys will go out on the kids-lib, OYAN, and libs-or email lists for all library staff to take individually if you want to. These two surveys aren?t critical, but the more people who vote the better! Please remember, this survey is new so there may be some bugs to work out. Let me know if you have any questions.

If you have a minute or two, check in and see if you can cover a question. I will have to cover on the reference desk in person as well as online (eek.)

In-Reply-To: <4CBE3440.3010208@fornell.info> References: <4CBE3440.3010208@fornell.info> Message-ID: The short answer is that schools do not have access to Discovery Education streaming via OSLIS. The link you are referencing is not really on OSLIS but rather on some Gale databases. For example, when I access Discovering Collection, a Gale product and not a product of Discovery Education streaming, I see this logo at the bottom of the page: [cid:image001.png at 01CB7049.EEA20470] However, when you click on that logo, you are directed to a subscriber login screen. That's because only schools that already subscribe to Discovery Education streaming (DES) can access the content. I think Gale added the link at the request of customers who did have access to DES.

I am passing the below along because Dolores Judkins of OHSU has been a huge help to librarians throughout our region and not just to medical ones. It was written for the Medical Library Association membership, but is also a case study in how to be an effective librarian and helpful colleague in general. Here is what I wrote to the MLA: Hello, all. Given how much admired and liked Dolores Judkins http://www.ohsu.edu/xd/education/library/about/staff-directory/dolores-judkins.cfm is by her colleagues and mentees I had planned to nominate her for the Medical Library Association?s Virginia L. and William K. Beatty MLA Volunteer Service Award: http://www.mlanet.org/awards/honors/beatty.html But it turns out that I blew it because Dolores (so like her to have served quietly and without fanfare) had served on the MLA?s nominations committee and therefore is now ineligible for the Beatty award. Thus, her very service to the MLA means we cannot formally recognize her at least with the Beatty award. But I wish to pass along the many letters I received (and the fact that offers to write letters in support of her nomination flooded in to my email inbox the very morning that I posted a request for such illustrates forcefully the esteem and affection in which she is held) in the support of the abortive nomination. I only wish I had sent the letter out to all of the MLA Chapters and not just to the PNC and to elsewhere in the library world and health sciences community and academe given the fact that many of the many librarians she has mentored over the years now work outside the Pacific Northwest and given that many of the people she has worked with in the MLA and in academia also live and work elsewhere. And that would not have even touched those in the non-library clinical and research realms, where Dolores has also assisted untold numbers of medical people and public health workers. Many of the people who sent in tributes did it immediately and with eagerness to make sure to get comments in. Others wrote immediately to ask for more time so as to choose just the right wording to capture Dolores? immense contribution and continuing contribution to health sciences librarianship in our region and elsewhere and to their own professional development and growth. I was motivated to nominate Dolores because I had experienced firsthand as a library technical specialist Dolores? support for our work in a small community hospital library. Dolores was always quick to help small medical libraries make the most of the generous help that her own Oregon Health Sciences University (OHSU) offered us and we were very grateful and lucky to have an advocate for our needs in tough budgetary times. I know for certain that her efforts raised the standards of medical care through better information provision in towns like my own little Corvallis, Oregon. Her efforts to help smaller institutions have helped to solidify OHSU?s reputation as a friend of medical people and patients throughout the Pacific Northwest. Dolores also is personally a very kind, thoughtful person. I helped organize a symposium on Open Science and Dolores not only drove all the way up from Portland, Oregon to Redmond, Washington to attend it but the fact that she was to attend influenced many other librarians to also come, which I very much appreciated. Dolores has also put in long hours as an organizer herself of conferences and her actions this year as one of the two primary organizers of the PNC annual conference were splendid. Not only did she help arrange the entire conference, but she helped moderate a lively session on research in the library sciences and gave a fascinating, edifying talk herself on her researches on the respective merits of Google, Google Scholar and PubMed. She is an engaging speaker able to draw on an impressive reservoir of knowledge in many aspects of search and library science. She shows by example how important it is to keep up on developments in our field and to share in various venues the results of our research. She is a role model extraordinaire. And when my much beloved boss, Dorothy O?Brien, became ill and had to retire as library manager Dolores frequently asked about her and wished her well and was among the first to write a letter of condolence when she died, which was very comforting as it is hard to lose a mentor. Dolores exemplifies the very best of the MLA vis-?-vis her dedication to the profession in terms of excellence in the field of librarianship. She is an outstanding member of the MLA who has encouraged many of us to become active participants in its events and sections and general operations. 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 Thanks, Hope. I would be honored. Dolores's contribution to the profession is extraordinary. I have worked with Dolores for thirty-five years and could write a textbook on her accomplishments in furtherance of the mission of MLA and medical librarianship. For the sake of brevity I will focus on just her contribution to PNC/MLA members: The Pacific Northwest Chapter has a large geographical area with a small population - hence a small and somewhat isolated membership. We have much to gain from MLA but knowing where and how to access resources and people is difficult, particularly for hospital librarians with modest budgets. Dolores has been our single best "go to" resource for more than 30 years. Dolores is the most networked medical librarian I know in the Pacific Northwest. Her interest and enthusiasm in our profession are endless and she forms strong alliances with hundreds of colleagues in MLA. Dolores is generous and proactive in using her connections in MLA to assist other librarians and libraries in the Northwest. She helps job seekers, individuals who are interested in medical librarianship, mentors and trains novice librarians, helps hiring libraries identify potential candidates, connects hospital librarians with individuals, resources and programs in MLA. She writes grants, develops programs and brings life and energy to countless committees and work groups within MLA and PNC and makes the experience and the process more productive for all involved. PNC/MLA is a lifeline for hospital librarians in the Northwest and Dolores is one key reason why it has made such a crucial difference to us. She has been a strong leader in PNC/MLA for decades and has twice spearheaded initiatives that won the MLA/Majors Chapter Project of the Year award (2004 - Survey software for all membership; 2009 - Expert Searching Webinars). Both projects empowered area hospital librarians with enhanced and new skills. Carolyn Adams | Reference Librarian I Good Samaritan Library I 1015 NW 22nd Ave Portland OR 97210 Dolores is the epitome of a mentor. (Mentor: a wise and trusted counselor or teacher). I think there is nothing about medical librarianship that she doesn't know, and she is always more than willing to share her tools and knowledge. For the length of my 20+ year career, she has been very involved as a teacher and volunteer for MLA at the chapter level. Just as one example, I so appreciated the online seminar she taught with Andrew Hamilton in 2008: Awakening the Searcher Within. It was a great educational experience and I could probably watch it repeatedly and learn something new every time. We are fortunate to have Dolores in our MLA chapter! Brynn Beals, MLS, AHIP Library Program Manager Franciscan Health System St. Joseph Medical Center MS 01-62 PO Box 2197 1717 S. J Street Tacoma WA 98401-2197 I really appreciate how Dolores went out of her way to introduce me to the community of librarians in the Pacific Northwest. Through her, I have become an active member of the Oregon Health Sciences Library Association and the Pacific Northwest Chapter of the Medical Library Association. Dolores knows everyone and everything about health sciences librarianship in this part of the country and her knowledge and expertise have been invaluable to me. -- Chris Shaffer, MS, AHIP University Librarian and Associate Professor Oregon Health & Science University Library http://www.ohsu.edu/library/ Hi Hope, You picked a good one! Dolores helped me with Survey Monkey when I could not make it to PNC but wanted to try it. She was very generous in helping me and then when I enrolled in the class in Seattle the next year she really helped me go to the next level, in making my user surveys better with good planning and execution. I loved the short series she did on being an expert searcher with a colleague. The way they demonstrated using features on the RML Rendezvous really helped me expand my searching skills, I truly became dissatisfied with "ONE & DONE" searching and have often revised my strategy based on the idea that the search process is never complete, but you need to have considered multiple mesh headings and text words to cover the concept your patron is seeking. Kathy Fatkin RN, MLS, AHIP Medical Librarian, Researcher & Evidence-Based Practice Coordinator Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center 3100 Channing Way, PO Box 2077 Idaho Falls ID 83403-2077 Phone 208-529-6077 Fax 208-529-7014 Hope - what a great idea! Thank you for taking this on and honoring one of the PNW's best medical librarians. Here's my paragraph: For over three decades, Dolores Zegar Judkins has quietly and kindly mentored, shaped, encouraged, and taught medical librarians, at the local, regional, and national levels. In the beginning, those of us fortunate enough to live in the Pacific Northwest were able to utilize Dolores' vast expanse of knowledge while keeping her all to ourselves. However, she soon began teaching classes for MLA and her delightful style (comfortable, witty, approachable, and just oh-so-smart) became sought after across the country. I firmly believe that the health of residents in Oregon, Washington, and other parts of Region 6 has been positively impacted by Dolores' ability to teach not only librarians, but healthcare providers, medical staff, and community members where and how to look for appropriate, accurate information. If a librarian is having difficulty with a reference question, Dolores is always willing to analyze it with you; giving kudos on what has already been tried and expanding one's own thought process to try a new tangent. On a personal note, Dolores helped me make sense of library school, and I can always count on her to recommend a really great book to read! I most heartily encourage her nomination for the Medical Library Association's Virginia L. and William K. Beatty Volunteer Service Award. Madelyn Madelyn Hall, M.Ed., MLS l Medical Librarian Medical Center Library/Education Department P.O. Box 1600 Southwest Washington Medical Center l Vancouver, WA Dolores is the only reason why I applied for the Woods Hole BioMedical Informatics Fellowship. I was fortunate to be accepted. That program was a career-enhancing move for me. Because of my experience and knowledge gained at Woods Hole, I'm now actively involved with a health information exchange in northwestern Montana. I am the only medical librarian on this very large working group and I am part of the one and only hospital with a medical library out of the rest of the participating facilities. My role has increased the visibility of medical librarianship within the clinical staff of the participating small hospitals and clinics. There has been a lot of education going on since not many committee members were aware of the services medical librarians provide. Some of them didn't even know that such a type of library even existed. And since then, we have been getting outside referrals to the library for information services. I'm very grateful for Dolores finally convincing me to apply for the Woods Hole BioMedical Informatics Fellowship. I truly would not have gone down this path if she hadn't been persistently encouraging me to attend. And therefore, if she hadn't done that, many clinical staff in this area of Montana may have never learned about medical library services. And I wouldn't have been as successful. Also, Dolores spearheaded the mentoring group for our regional chapter. I'm an avid mentor for MLA, mentoring new and aspiring medical librarians in all different places in the US. I'm tickled that Dolores brought the benefits of mentoring "home" to our regional chapter. Because of her work with this, I feel there are more local mentors and mentees than there would have been otherwise. So, it's safe to say that Dolores has had a hand in many librarians' careers. As I'm mentoring, I find myself grinning as I relay the same message to some of my mentees... "You should seriously consider applying for the BioMedical Informatics program..." ********************************* The other thing that's so cool about Dolores is the "Awakening the Searcher Within" series. I still wish this was an ongoing program. Hope, hopefully someone else has written about this! AND Dolores singlehandedly wrote up one of our chapter projects which resulted in the PNC receiving the Chapter Award (again!) That was sooooo cool! Heidi Sue Adams, MS, AHIP | Lead Medical Librarian | Kalispell Regional Medical Center | Medical Library | 310 Sunnyview Lane | Kalispell MT 59901 | I have known Dolores since 2003, and I credit her with drawing me into medical librarianship, as well as nudging me toward leadership roles in the profession. Her great gift, beyond a voracious curiosity and her skill as a librarian, is her intrinsic drive to connect : people with people, people with jobs, people with roles and opportunities. While her C.V. highlights her own professional excellence and service to the profession, it fails to capture what Dolores has contributed throughout our region as a connector and a catalyst for others? success. I can?t imagine anyone who more thoroughly embodies MLA?s mission to foster excellence in the professional achievement and leadership of health sciences librarians. Noelle Stello, MSLIS Chair, PNC/MLA (2010) Associate Librarian National College of Natural Medicine 049 SW Porter St. | Portland OR | 97201 503.552.1544 Dolores Judkins is a remarkable asset to the profession of medical/health sciences librarianship. She is the 'go to' woman when it comes to serving the PNC/MLA, MLA and librarians throughout the US. It is difficult to know where to begin to list her accomplishments. I worked with Dolores at OHSU for 14 years and have continued to work with her for the last decade as well. Dolores has amazing spirit and unceasing amounts of energy to give to the profession. She has served in nearly every position on the PNC/MLA Board, providing outstanding leadership during her tenure as chair and beyond. She followed me as the Chapter Council Representative and showed her enthusiasm and dedication at the national level. Dolores is the person responsible for bringing the PNC/MLA subscription to surveymonkey to the membership; not only that, but she and I worked together to create a course on survey construction for librarians and taught it in several venues throughout the West. Dolores is the quintessential professional 'giver'. She has planned so many chapter meetings that it is difficult to count. She has chaired or co-chaired the meeting planning for the chapter meetings in Oregon as far back as I can remember, at least for 25 years. She is an active participant in the state group, OHSLA (Oregon Health Sciences Libraries' Association) and was very active in the Portland group (PAHSL--Portland Area Health Sciences Librarians) before it merged with OHSLA a few years ago. Dolores has been a hospital librarian and a university librarian, so she brings great perspective to her current role as head of Research and Reference at OHSU. She has always been outspoken in support of the needs of hospital librarians and has advocated for them at the state level. She has created or co-created several programs which benefit hospital librarians, conducting outreach to hospital librarians, conducting training sessions for all types of librarians and giving generously to those from the community who have sought her guidance. Dolores and I have worked together to develop an Evidence-based Practice course for nursing librarians. We have taught it a number of times to librarians throughout the country, including at MLA in Chicago a couple of years ago. Dolores is a stellar teacher. She combines wit and creativity with in-depth knowledge and teaching skills. Professor Patrice O'Donovan, AMLS, AHIP Portland Campus Library Director, Linfield College 1015 NW 22nd Avenue, Portland, Oregon 97210 Hope, Dolores Judkins emulates a true librarian mentor she is first to step up and assist with a difficult search, planning a PNC meeting, CE classes, a rush ILL, etc. It makes no difference who asks the question or what the request involves Dolores is always there to assist. Her knowledge base is widespread, credible and forth giving a solid pillar of the Medical Library Association. Sandy Sandra Hight, Librarian Kissler Library & Research Center office (208)367- 2271 fax (208)367-2702 Mailing Address: 1055 N. Curtis Road Boise, ID 83706 Dolores has been an incredible resource for the region for years and I'm happy to comment based on her contributions during my many years as RML Director! Sherri ______________________________ Sherrilynne Fuller, Ph.D. Professor Biomedical and Health Informatics School of Medicine and Department of Health Services (Adj) School of Public Health Co-Director, Center for Public Health Informatics University of Washington BOX 35-4943 Seattle, Washington 98105 206-221-7444 206-491-6380 (mobile) 206-616-5249 (FAX) I have the good fortune to work under Dolores Judkins and have seen firsthand how her contributions elevate those around her. I?m very impressed by her ability to encourage people to try new things and stretch themselves professionally. Several years ago she asked me about my experience with and interest in writing grant proposals. To be perfectly honest, grant writing wasn?t something to which I?d given a lot of thought. After talking with her further and with the promise of her coaching, I decided to write my first grant proposals. Several months later we learned that both proposals were funded. Her encouragement was instrumental in making this happen and helped me become more comfortable with the grant writing process. She is the epitome of what a good mentor should be and I feel very lucky that my professional path crossed hers.

These intrepid adventurers teach us much about intercultural exchanges, libraries and life in China, and the joys of travel. To learn more about the topics in the subject line above, take a few moments to read their blog! As part of the Horner Exchange Project, our three Oregon librarians are currently traveling in Fujian Province, China, for a three week visit to libraries and cultural centers. They are learning about the state of librarianship in public and university libraries as well as giving presentations in their areas of expertise. Oregon State Librarian Jim Scheppke was also travelling with the Horner delegates for part of their trip to Fujian Province. He is now back in the States. The Horner Library Staff Exchange Project is an exchange of library staff between Fujian Province, China, and Oregon, for the purpose of sharing professional knowledge about library and information science. It was established through a generous gift from the late Dr. Layton Horner to the Oregon State Library, and continues through a partnership between the Oregon State Library and OLA's International Relations Round Table. Our international partners are the Fujian Provincial Library and the Fujian Library Association. Fujian is Oregon's sister province in China and the Fujian Provincial Library maintains a sister library relationship with the Oregon State Library.

This year when you order CSLP materials and incentives from Highsmith/Upstart online (http://www.cslpreads.org/order.html) you will be prompted to log into your CSLP account because current CSLP merchandise is supposed to be available to CSLP members only.

Please note that due to quality issues the book light listed on page 17 and 19 of the catalog (for the 2011 teen and adult program) has been pulled and will no longer be available. Unfortunately Highsmith was not made aware of the issues until after the catalogs were printed and they apologize for the inconvenience. Below are some important ordering dates to know. Please remember, orders placed by December 1st are used to estimate initial production quantities. Highsmith/Upstart cannot guarantee that they will have items to fill orders placed after March 1st. * Orders placed by December 1 arrive by March 1 * Orders placed by January 1 arrive by April 1 * Orders placed by March 1 arrive by May 1 * Orders placed after March 1 will be filled based on product availability.
