The 2009 funds must be spent by the end of September or be returned to the Federal government. The Board voted to make a supplemental grant of $50,000 to the Oregon Digital Newspaper Project at the University of Oregon Libraries, a $50,000 supplemental grant to the Oregon Digital Library Consortium to purchase e-books, audiobooks and videos for Library2Go, and $40,000 to purchase reference e-books for the Oregon School Library Information System. The Board met by phone and approved the Council recommendation in an unanimous vote. The next regular meeting of the State Library Board will take place on October 15th at the State Library in Salem. BOARD WILL MEET SEPTEMBER 13 TO DECIDE ON BUDGET REDUCTIONS The State Library Board will hold a special meeting by phone on September 13th to finalize a plan to make additional reductions to the 2009-11 budget. In June the Board approved reductions totaling $156,780, including a $115,987 reduction to Ready to Read Grants that will be made in December. After the August 26th state revenue forecast showed a further decline in state revenue, the Governor indicated that he plans to order a second round of across the board General Fund budget reductions in September. At press time the State Library had not been informed about the amount of the reduction target. The meeting will begin at 4 pm. Anyone wanting to listen to the meeting can attend in Room 202 at the State Library. State Library News STATE LIBRARIAN ELECTED TO SERVE ON THE LYRASIS BOARD State Librarian Jim Scheppke has been elected by the LYRASIS Board of Directors to a term on the Board beginning October 1, 2010. LYRASIS now serves the eleven western states that were formerly served by BCR. LYRASIS is the largest regional library network in the US, and now covers 33 states in the eastern and western US. The mission of LYRASIS is to support library and information professionals by providing opportunities for networking and collaboration and member services including education, group purchasing programs, digitization, preservation, consulting and advocacy. The State Library has purchased a one year trial membership in LYRASIS for all Oregon libraries so that librarians can learn about the advantages of becoming a LYRASIS member. Go to the transition website to learn more about LYRASIS and to activate the one year trial membership for your library. "I see real advantages for Oregon to affiliate with 32 other states in LYRASIS, and I hope to be able to help with LYRASIS' expansion in the western states," commented State Librarian Jim Scheppke. AGENCY CONVERSATIONS PROJECT CONNECTS LIBRARY WITH CUSTOMERS The Government Research Services Team at the State Library held five focus sessions with 35 state employees in April/May 2010. Discussions evolved from four key questions that were presented to these groups regarding their research activities, technology preferences, barriers to research and what role the library plays in their research. Findings from these conversations affirm some assumptions the library has made based on working with patrons and feedback provided from the May 2008 Needs Assessment Survey. Results from focus sessions also offered insights into shifts in use of technologies, the internet, resource needs, generational differences, and preferred information formats and platforms. This project was also an opportunity for the library to identify individuals who may wish to aid us in spreading the word about our services. Next steps include creating a plan to recruit and maintain agency champions to fulfill this important role. For more information on this project contact Kate McGann, 503-378-5010. 2010 PUBLIC LIBRARY STATISTICS COLLECTION NOW OPEN The 2010 Public Library Statistical Report is now open at Bibliostat Connect. Public libraries should be sure they have the current link so they will be able to log in to the survey. For assistance please call or email Ann Reed, early and often, 503-378-5027 or check out the FAQ. LSTA ADVISORY COUNCIL TO MEET SEPTEMBER 10 The LSTA Advisory Council will meet in the first floor conference room (rooms 102 and 103) at the State Library at 9:00 am on September 10, 2010. The Council will be reviewing and making recommendations on FFY 2011 funding for seventeen competitive grant proposals, continuing funding for five statewide projects, and two Extending Library Service to the Unserved grant proposals. An open forum will be held at 1:00 pm and anyone may address the LSTA Advisory Council at that time. Funding recommendations will be sent to the Oregon State Library Board for action at their October 15, 2010 meeting. The Extending Library Service to the Unserved grants are the result of a State Library Board initiative to create new opportunities for providing library service to unserved Oregonians. DESCRIPTIVE VIDEOS ON DVD AVAILABLE FROM TBABS For several years, Talking Book and Braille Services (TBABS) has offered descriptive VHS videos to patrons who are visually impaired. The video titles include popular movies, classics, and documentaries. During action portions of the movie there is an audio track that describes the events taking place on the screen. This year, TBABS has been able to start adding DVD movies to the descriptive video collection. The movies are available for loan to registered TBABS patrons and are "menu driven" which means that some sighted assistance will be necessary in order to activate the movies. In addition to Descriptive Videos, the TBABS collection still includes Digital Audio Books, Analog (cassette), Audio Books, and Braille books. For more information about how to get your patrons access to any of the formats offered from TBABS download an application today at the TBABS homepage. FREE COLLEGE OF DUPAGE WEB TRAININGS BEGIN The Library Futures: Staying Ahead of the Curve 2011 webcast series will begin in September. All webcasts will be from 9:00am - 10:30 PT. September 24, 2010: Libraries & the Mobile Technologies Landscape November 12, 2010: Redesigning Today's Public Services: Focus on Reference February 4, 2011: Free Content for Library Collections April 8, 2011: Cataloging: New Perspectives These webcasts will give library staff a solid framework for problem-solving in today's complex library environment. They are cost-effective ways for staff to stay current and informed on libraries' use of technology.

This series of webcasts is being made available free of charge to staff from Oregon libraries, paid for by the State Library with LSTA funds. Also, DVDs of previous webcasts are available via ILL from the State Library. FINAL YEAR OF READING FOR HEALTHY FAMILIES BEGINS September 2010 marks the beginning of the third and final year of the Reading for Healthy Families (RFHF) early literacy training project. On September 9-10 the last train the trainers sessions will be conducted. Four of the librarians and Healthy Start staff who participate in the train the trainers sessions will then go on to conduct the Every Child Ready to Read @ your library training component of RFHF. Prior to RFHF there was only one Every Child Ready to Read trainer in Oregon. One of the four goals of RFHF is to increase the number of trainers from one to 12. The project has sparked great interest statewide among other professionals who work with at-risk children and families. With permission from the funders, Oregon Community Foundation and Paul G. Allen Family Foundation, the RFHF train the trainers sessions have been opened up to include staff from Head Start, Department of Child Care, Child Care Resource & Referral, and a kindergarten teacher. After the train the trainers sessions in September there will be over 30 Standardized Every Child Ready to Read Trainers certified by the Oregon Registry in Oregon. Access to qualified trainers is key to sustaining early literacy education efforts in Oregon libraries and communities. 2010 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE OREGON INTELLECTUAL FREEDOM CLEARINGHOUSE COMING SOON The 2010 Annual Report will soon be available online at Oregon Intellectual Freedom Clearinghouse. The report is a compendium of 24 challenges to library material in one school library and three public libraries between July 1, 2009 and June 30, 2010. The Oregon Intellectual Freedom Clearinghouse (OIFC) collects reports about formal, written challenges to library material from all types of Oregon libraries. The information is reported to OIFC by Oregon libraries on a voluntarily basis. OIFC compiles the reports from libraries into an annual report each year; all previous reports are now available online at Oregon Intellectual Freedom Clearinghouse. An email announcement will go out on the libs-or electronic discussion list when the 2010 Annual Report is available online. Other Library News CHECK OUT ENERGY SAVINGS WITH ENERGY TRUST OF OREGON BEGINS IN SEPTEMBER Oregon public libraries are teaming up with Energy Trust of Oregon to bring to their communities information and tools that can increase energy awareness and drive energy savings. Nearly 50 libraries, large and small, now have Kill A Watt monitors and information to check out to library users. Kill A Watts measure how much electricity electric appliances and devices are consuming when plugged in, such as refrigerators, microwaves, computers, TVs, phone chargers, game consoles and cable set-top boxes. Kill A Watt monitors can also be used to measure "phantom" energy loads: the amount of energy an electronic device will draw, even when in standby mode. In the average home, 75 percent of the electricity used to power home electronics and appliances is consumed while the products are turned off. Included with the Kill A Watt monitors are helpful tips and information on next steps to save energy at home based on what is learned by using the monitor. Libraries that did not choose to participate in the first round of the project will have another chance to sign up and receive Kill A Watts and information from Energy Trust. Eventually the State Library hopes that every Oregon public library will participate in the project to help their communities save energy. The project was modeled on a successful project at the Eugene Public Library that began two years ago. P.S. (From the State Librarian) There are many benefits to hanging out with state librarians. I actually belong to two associations of state librarians. The Chief Officers of State Library Agencies is our national association that concentrates mainly on looking out for our interests with our federal partners like the Institute of Museum and Library Services and the National Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped. We also have a Western Council of State Libraries that includes all of the states west of the Mississippi. Western Council is a more informal group that is good at sharing best practices and collaborating from time to time on special projects. The fact that the Plinkit content management system now serves hundreds of public libraries across the U.S. is due to the fact that Eva Miller and I made a presentation at a Western Council meeting some years ago. Colorado and Texas sat up and took notice at that meeting, and the rest is history. I believe it was at that same meeting where I first learned of the wonderful historic newspaper digitization projects that state libraries in Colorado and Utah had helped to get started. After that meeting I was determined to help get a similar project going in Oregon. I started talking to Deb Carver and Mark Watson at the Knight Library at UO. It was logical that they should take the lead, since for decades UO has been responsible for collecting and preserving newspapers in our state on microfilm. Deb and Mark were enthusiastic about getting started on this and we held a summit of key stakeholders to begin to build support. Of course money is always the key issue. For that UO Libraries successfully competed for a two-year LSTA grant to get started. That grant has leveraged two grants from the Oregon Heritage Commission. And all this local support helped to attract major (hopefully ongoing) support from the National Endowment for the Humanities. UO hired Karen Estlund who worked on the Utah project to lead the Oregon project, and we were underway. You can understand how excited I was when the first fruits of this effort were announced a few months ago. While our state website is being developed, UO has loaded the first content into the Library of Congress Chronicling America website: the Klamath Falls Evening Herald from February, 2008 to December, 1918. I got on the site and did a keyword search for the first Oregon State Librarian, Cornelia Marvin. What a thrill to bring up several articles recounting trips that Cornelia had made to Klamath Falls, including one to promote school libraries in 1908. While NEH funds and other grant funds will support a portion of the digitization work that needs to be done, the project will be turning to local communities to come up with the funds to digitize their local papers. The ultimate goal of the Oregon Digital Newspaper Project is to include all Oregon newspaper content in the public domain. I hope we will see cooperation from everyone in the Oregon library community to work with local heritage organizations and others so we can meet this ambitious goal. - 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.

Fighters on the Farm Front: Oregon's Emergency Farm Labor Service, 1943-1947 We often hear about Rosie the Riveter and the unprecedented industrial effort that occurred in America during World War II, but the efforts that were made in agriculture - production of the food and fiber necessary to sustain the war effort -- are rarely acknowledged. The Oregon State University Archives' newest digital exhibit, Fighters on the Farm Front: Oregon's Emergency Farm Labor Service, 1943-1947 (http://osulibrary.oregonstate.edu/archives/omeka/exhibits/show/fighters) highlights the contributions of Oregon's Emergency Farm Labor Service during and immediately after World War II. Acting out of emergency, this service, coordinated by the Oregon State College Extension Service, recruited women, children, Mexican nationals, interned Japanese Americans, German Prisoners of War, American military servicemen, retired folks and other nontraditional workers to fill a void in the agricultural industry, as many farmers and farmhands left their farms to join the military and other wartime efforts. While similar projects ran throughout the country, Oregon's Emergency Farm Labor Service placed tens of thousands of workers around the state each year of its existence, distinguishing it as one of the country's most vital wartime programs. This exhibit is an updated and expanded version of the original Fighters on the Farm Front online exhibit, launched in 1994 as a joint project of the OSU Archives and the Oregon State Archives in Salem. It was one of the first online exhibits in Oregon. The new Fighters on the Farm Front: Oregon's Emergency Farm Labor Service, 1943-1947 also acts as a subject guide, detailing several other resources pertaining to the Emergency Farm Labor Service. Japanese American Association of Lane County Oral History Collection Japanese Americans stand within American history as an intriguing and persevering community that emblemizes the struggles of immigrant families in the quest for the American Dream. The Japanese American Association of Lane County, Oregon Oral History Collection (http://osulibrary.oregonstate.edu/digitalcollections/jaa/) is a collection of oral histories (both digital sound files and transcripts ), images, video and supporting documents recording these experiences of eleven local community members and influential people from Lane County, Elkton and Waldport, Oregon. Many of the interviewees experienced the trials of growing up in an environment of discrimination and prejudice, and following the attacks on Pearl Harbor, the detainment and removal of their rights and freedom at the onset of World War II. These oral histories document this experience, as well as their lives prior to World War II and decades after. The collection also documents the emergence of the Japanese American community in and around Eugene and Lane County that led to the organization of the Japanese American Association of Lane County.

PNBA is being held October 7-9 at the Portland Airport Holiday Inn and is again welcoming librarians. Last year I attended for the first time and was amazed at what was offered and how helpful it was for collection development, author programming, networking, and education. I will follow this post with a letter from PNBA outlining more details. In the meantime, please consider attending and here are ten reasons why: 1. Bill Baars of Lake Oswego and I will be presenting on Thursday, Oct. 7! Every year PNBA offers a selection of educational sessions to rival anything offered at library conferences and this year there will be a set of sessions just for librarians. 2. It won?t break your training budget! If your library joins PNBA (cost $125), then up to FOUR people from your library may attend the show for free. (Individual book professionals may attend the show for a $75 badge fee.) That?s a mere $31.25 per staff member! Where else can you attend educational sessions, meet and greet authors of great renown, and tour exhibits for that amount? Granted, meals are extra, but famous authors will be at each meal and you will walk away with a bag full of signed, free books! 3. It?s exclusive! The shows are not open to the public so everyone you meet will be associated with books in some way. It?s a bibliomaniac?s paradise. 4. Authors, authors, and more authors! The Thursday night Nightcapper party is free and you will meet 20 authors who will sign books or galleys. The meals also feature famous authors, and this year Ivan Doig and our hero Nancy Pearl will be presenting at the Friday morning breakfast. Last year I attended the Feast of Authors dinner and literally rubbed elbows with Susan Wiggs and Brian Herbert (son of Frank). Authors love libraries and opportunities abound to ask about library appearances. 5. It?s not just for adults! There are educational sessions aimed at serving youth and exhibitors give away many books for children and teens. There are also children?s book authors presenting during the meals. 6. It?s a great source for collection development librarians! Hearing the authors speak and touring the exhibits will give you a heads up as to what?s new and forthcoming. Your patrons will be most impressed when you get books of local interest in your library before they are reviewed in your local newspaper. 7. Free books! You will receive advance reading copies and signed books from the authors and exhibitors. 8. Network! You will meet Indie booksellers from all over the NW and it?s fun to meet new book smart people. 9. Come feel the love! PNBA is courting librarians and authors love us! 10. Bill and I are presenting! Oh wait, I mentioned that but I needed one more reason? I would be more than happy to answer any questions you may have about the PNBA trade show.

I apologize in advance if the links appear "clunky." Dear Northwest Librarians, The Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association (PNBA) invites you to attend our fall show, which will be held at the Holiday Inn at the Portland Airport, Thursday through Saturday, October 7 - 9. Again this year, we are offering educational sessions for librarians on the same day as the education for booksellers, Thursday, October 7, from 8:00 am (the basic intro for First-timers) until 5:15 pm. The preliminary education schedule for the day is posted HERE ( http://www.pnba.org/show2010/EdPrelim10.pdf )on our web site, as a pdf. Please remember that, although we do have one room set aside for education that we thought might most be of interest to librarians, everyone who attends the show is welcome to attend any sessions that you would like. For instance, we believe that the afternoon sessions in Salon A about our new blog Northwest Booklovers ( http://www.nwbooklovers.org/ ), and the one after that about the fall pick of the children's lists may be as important and informative to librarians as they are to booksellers; and we encourage your appropriate staff to consider attending. The show will also feature a terrific line-up of national and regional authors, and you are encouraged to attend as many of those author events as you would like. The complete show schedule is posted HERE ( http://www.pnba.org/show2010/F10FullSchedPrelim.pdf ), with the lists of authors who will speak at the Breakfasts, and the general show page ( http://www.pnba.org/show.htm ) on our site has links to pdfs of all of the author events and their schedules. We hope you will join us to hear the Celebration of Authors ( http://www.pnba.org/show2010/Celeb010Final.pdf )on Thursday at lunch and to pick up copies of those authors' new books immediately after the presentations, and join us at the opening Nightcapper Party ( http://www.pnba.org/show2010/Nightcapper10.pdf )that evening, which is free to all show attendees. One of the favorite events at the show is the Friday night Feast of Authors ( http://www.pnba.org/show2010/FeastSched10Prelim.pdf ), in which twenty authors move from table to table throughout your meal, discussing their new books, so that people at each table sit personally with six authors during the event. At the end of the event, every bookseller and librarian attending receives a bag of books containing a selection of signed copies of the books discussed by the authors at the Feast, with at least a dozen signed books in every bag. All author events at the show feature free signed books or advanced readers editions given to attendees of the events. If any of this sounds like it might be helpful to you or any of your staff, we hope that you will encourage them to join us in Portland for the fall show. You may register for the show using the form posted HERE ( http://www.pnba.org/show2010/F10AttendeeReg.pdf ) on our web site, and pay your library membership on that form. If your library joins PNBA (cost $125), then up to FOUR people from your library may attend the show for free. (Individual book professionals may attend the show for a $75 badge fee. The shows are not open to the public.) The most efficient way to make a room reservation at our host hotel is to use the on-line registration form posted on our tradeshow web page ( http://www.pnba.org/show.htm ). Click the logo for the Holiday Inn on the upper right of the page, fill in only the dates that you want to stay overnight, type the letters "PNB" in the "group code" box, click the "check availability" button on the lower right, and you will be offered the room choices. Our group rate of $99/night plus tax (with free parking!) will be available only through Friday, September 24, or until the rooms are sold out. Thank you for your consideration of this invitation--I hope to see you at the Show!!

I wrote up the following and am sending it to her and to those of you in the C2C Infoposting group. It would be great if you could incorporate it in your hard-copy and e-newsletters and on your websites. If you need something further for your purposes, please let me know. If you are receiving this message, you are in that group! Please also check out the blog at http://orc2c.blogspot.com (thanks to Judith!) Thank you, and let me know if you have questions. Ruth C2C Grant Update: Planning for Oregon's Preservation Training Needs 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 ISLS, Oregon museums, libraries and other cultural institutions are planning together for Oregon's preservation training needs. The grant project's Steering Committee and project coordinator, Ruth Metz, are holding 3 regional meetings this fall (2 were held this summer in Eugene and Portland). They are gathering 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. Having a plan of action is especially important because the IMLS is expected to fund statewide efforts that are purposeful and grounded in need that is substantiated with data. That is precisely what we are about!

He will introduce the major mobile technologies and outline their usage as well as the cultural shifts that accompany their introduction into information society. Joe will lead us through an exploration of the opportunities for libraries to implement mobile technologies to enhance or supplement traditional services and collections, and will explain how libraries can most strategically engage these tools as well as the mobile culture. We will discuss the real world changes this means for libraries and the new skills we may have to learn in this evolution. At the conclusion of this session we will all be familiar with how to best meet this shift towards mobile technologies in our libraries. This webcast is 90 minutes in length.

Potter's article is excellent. 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 Required Reading for Everyone in the Health Sciences: Mapping the Literature of Occupational Therapy: An Update by Jonathan Potter September 7th, 2010 Author: Hope Leman One of the nicest things about the Pacific Northwest Chapter of the Medical Library Association is that our fellow members draw our attention to articles of note by other members. For example, in a recent post "PNC Authors in July's JMLA" Alison Aldrich drew our attention to articles in the July issue of the Journal of the Medical Library Association that were written by members of the PNC. I had not received by hard copy of that issue of JMLA at that point and so appreciated all the more Alison's heads-up so as to be on the lookout for those articles when it arrived. As she wrote, "Go, team!" And thanks to the enlightened polices of the MLA, JMLA is an Open Access journal. This is particularly important given that the article I will discuss in this post, "Mapping the Literature of Occupational Therapy: An Update" by Jonathan Potter, Health Sciences Librarian, Riverpoint Campus Library, Eastern Washington University, is of value not only to the members of the MLA but to librarians in other spheres, to occupational therapists, to health professionals who work with them, to career counselors and academe in general, and to those interested in entering this very worthwhile field. I lost a friend recently to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and I was very impressed by how much occupational therapists were able to improve her quality of life by devising a plethora of devices and simple solutions to the daily trials experienced by those with increasingly levels of disability. They helped her by such simple techniques as helping her learn how to use a pencil to turn the pages on her Kindle when using a finger became too hard for her and by using extenders for keys when they became harder and harder to handle. Potter's article is invaluable in that he not only provides us with an outstanding overview of the literature on the profession of occupational therapy but does a public service to the public in general by providing us all with insights into the noble calling of occupational therapy, thereby assisting those interested in entering it and patients and caregivers who may not have heretofore realized how much they could benefit from employing the services of occupational therapists. Here are some other of the things I found edifying in Potter's article. First of all, I have only recently joined the Nursing and Allied Health Resources Section (NAHRS) of the Medical Library Association and so was still somewhat unfamiliar with its Mapping the Literature of Allied Health Project of which Potter's article is a continuation. Kudos to NAHRS for spearheading this important project, which is a service not only to the MLA but to higher education in general. If I were a high school librarian or a community college career counselor I would be very grateful to be able to print out for students articles like Potter's so as to give bright kids authoritative overviews of occupations within the allied health and nursing fields. Perhaps NAHRS and the MLA could create a Web page for such audiences that would provide Open Access in a one-stop fashion to all of the articles in the Mapping the Literature of Allied Health Project. That would be outreach indeed. Keep up the good work, NAHRS. You are benefitting the wider community, particularly in a time in our paradoxical world in which certain fields need new entrants (occupational therapy needs more men, for instance) and when jobs in general are hard to find in this dismal economy. Kudos, too, to Potter's institution, Eastern Washington University, for facilitating this outstanding contribution to the scholarly literature. Potter's article will become a reference point in occupational therapy, allied health and nursing, and health sciences librarianship for years to come. A second aspect of Potter's article that I found quite interesting was the historical background he provides about the development of the ethos of the profession as laid down in 1922 by A. Meyer in the article "The Philosophy of Occupation Therapy." Potter writes, "That present day occupational therapists continue to return to Meyer's 1922 essay is a testament to the depth and power of Meyer's vision and of his eloquence in articulating it." This was new to me and really quite fascinating, as was Potter's discussion of the frustration that occupational therapists can experience in explaining what occupational therapy is. Potter writes, "This recurring need to define and explain the basic parameters of the field is often accompanied by ambivalence or exasperation, but just as often by a sense of professional pride in the core identity of occupational therapy, rooted in a dynamic and vital history that informs and continues to help define present day practice. Although the current study does not examine the frequency of citations down to the level of particular journal articles, one such reference stood out in the data, namely, the seminal essay by Meyer, "The Philosophy of Occupation Therapy..." A third aspect of Potter's article that I found interesting was his point that after a downturn in the occupational therapy profession in the 1990s the field has recently experienced a resurgence given the interest in the deployment of occupational therapy techniques in the treatment of autism-spectrum disorders and given the invigorating effects of the evidence-based healthcare movement. A fourth aspect of Potter's article that was quite interesting is that more and more references are to journal articles rather than to books, which Potter partly attributes to the rise of Open Access journals and to the ease of access to electronic journals generally. (It will be interesting to see if the rise of print on demand and the rise of the e-book will lead to a greater number of citation to books in coming decades.) Potter makes the fascinating point that as backfiles become digitized older articles are actually being cited surprisingly frequently these days. Potter's article is full of such astute points about scholarly publishing and research methods these days even for those who are not primarily interested in occupational therapy. He makes clear, too, that "greater value is being placed on interdisciplinary collaboration and connections between disparate realms of knowledge." His own article is an exemplar of that trend, given that he is a health sciences librarian writing about the field of occupational therapy. He also writes beautifully. I look forward to future work by him. One quibble (there had to be one, right?) I have is with Potter's use of the term, "developing open source journal movement." Open Access is quite different from Open Source. "Open Access" should be used here. Open Source has to do with computer coding. Open Access has to do with journal publishing. All in all, though, this is an incredibly detailed, comprehensive look at an important field. Potter's article is a credit to JMLA, the MLA, Eastern Washington University, and Potter himself. We of the PNC of are proud of him! And, just to continue to nag my fellow members of our beloved PNC to consider following Potter's example of publishing in JMLA I would just like to point out that the August issue the MLA News has the item "Help to Build the Knowledgebase: Contribute a Review to the Journal of the Medical Library Association" by Editor-in-Chief Susan S. Starr. She writes, "I expect that many of our readers would enjoy reading more reviews in the JMLA. The good news is that, as librarians, we are well equipped to write them. We automatically turn to the literature for answers. We know how to systematically search for, and organize, literature or information. So, the next time you start looking for literature on a professional topic or sending emails to colleagues to find out how they are handling a particular problem, I encourage all of you to consider going a step further and turning your search into a literature or state-of-the-art review. Synthesize what you have found, identify the gaps in knowledge that require more investigation, and share your knowledge with your peers. We have a journal to be proud of, and you can make it better." Details on the journal can be found here. Go for it, group! Jonathan Potter has set the pace!

TechSoup Stock Spotlight: Microsoft Educational Software Well, it's back to school season, so education is on our minds. Recently, when reviewing our most frequently ordered product donations, we discovered that Microsoft Math (part of the Microsoft Educational Software Program) tops librarians' lists. [algebra]Microsoft Math is a set of mathematical tools that help students solve problems and gain a better understanding of mathematical concepts, from pre-algebra through calculus. The primary tool is a full-featured scientific calculator with extensive graphing and equation-solving capabilities. It is designed to work like a handheld calculator but offers additional tools that deepen students' knowledge of complex mathematics. This product is available through TechSoup for an admin fee of $2.00. Here are some notable features: * Ink Handwriting Support works with tablet and ultra-mobile PCs, so students can write out problems by hand and have them recognized. * An animated slider lets students make changes to an equation and see the effect on the graph. * Adding and storing variables and reusing common numbers and expressions helps save time when there are multiple problems to solve. * Students can view, rotate, and animate large 2D and enhanced 3D color graphs. 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. Lock 'em Up! One of the struggles with maintaining public access computers is the fine balance between ensuring stability and security while still providing patrons the access to information they need. Libraries use a variety of tools, and many times a combination of solutions are needed to meet the needs of both the libraries and patrons. TechSoup for Libraries gathers your experiences, so you don't have to reinvent the wheel. Here are some resources to help. [computer with lock]Lockdown utilities and disk protection software are covered in our first Cookbook (free technology manual). Also, check out our Patron Computer Software Comparison Chart, in our third cookbook, which includes pricing and support details and compares some of the better-known software currently in use in small libraries. We also have a maintenance chart that compiles all the tasks and costs of maintaining computers with lock-down and disk-protection software. Lately, the Windows 7 and Windows SteadyState incompatibility caused many libraries to change their lockdown practices. Read more about this, as well as alternatives to SteadyState in our blog posts by Chris Peters, and find solutions in Sarah Washburn's compilation of tools for locking down computers shared by a few of your colleagues. We don't yet have any partnerships with lockdown software vendors (yet) but would love to know more about what products YOU use to help inform our process. Take our monthly survey to let us know! Monthly Survey: Desktop Security Software [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 Chris Grantham, from Tarleton State University in Stephenville, Texas! This month's survey is a very short one to determine which desktop security software programs you find helpful at your library. 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.

One of the 24 challenged items was removed from the collection because a reconsideration committee reviewed the material and found that it was old and in disrepair. The 2010 Annual Report only includes challenges that are voluntarily reported to OIFC. Many people may not realize that book banning is not a thing from the past or that attempts to ban books are made every year right here in Oregon. This is a valuable educational opportunity to discuss the nature of the First Amendment?just as we have a right to access these materials in our libraries, we have a right to question whether they are appropriate to include in public collections. * Why might someone find these materials inappropriate? * Why should they remain in the collection? * Is labeling a book an effective way to inform people about content that may not be appropriate for everyone or is it a form of censorship? * How would you review materials and conduct a challenge hearing during the reconsideration process? * This year there were a few high-profile challenges in Oregon, what would you do if the media contacted you about a challenge in your library? * Why is a collection development policy the most important line of defense when library materials are challenged? * Does your library have a policy or established procedure for people to challenge material? You can find resources that may help you answer these questions at: http://www.oregon.gov/OSL/LD/intellectual.shtml About the OIFC Annual Report Every year the Oregon Intellectual Freedom Clearinghouse (OIFC) publishes a report on challenges to all types of library materials in Oregon. This report provides a landscape of censorship activity in Oregon, and is submitted to ALA?s Office of Intellectual Freedom to be included in their report on censorship activity in the United States. The Annual Report is also used by librarians and teachers to help them develop activities for Banned Books Week. The Annual Report is based on challenge reports OIFC receives from all types of Oregon libraries (school, academic, and public). All local libraries are encouraged to report challenges to materials on a voluntary basis. OIFC does not publish names of people, organizations, libraries, and towns identified in challenge reports confidential. I will be compiling the 2011 Annual Report in August 2011 . Please submit a separate challenge report for each formal challenge to library materials that occur at your library between July 1, 2010 and June 30, 2011. Reports may be submitted as the are resolved or altogether in July 2011. This information is complied to assist Oregon libraries currently facing a challenge as well as providing information that will help you plan Banned Books Week activities. The Annual Report will tell you what books were challenged in Oregon libraries the previous year. The more libraries reporting challenges to OIFC the better OIFC can help you! Please take time to report challenges to OIFC. The accuracy of OIFC?s Annual Report and Title Index to Challenges is directly related to the number of Oregon libraries reporting challenges. To report challenges to materials at your library: 1. Download and print the form at http://www.oregon.gov/OSL/LD/intellectual.shtml#Report_Challenges 2. Fill out a challenge report form for each item that went through your library?s formal process for dealing with challenges to library material. 3. Mail your completed form(s) to: Oregon State Library c/o Oregon Intellectual Freedom Clearinghouse 250 Winter St. NE Salem, OR 97301 For more information about OIFC visit our website (http://www.oregon.gov/OSL/LD/intellectual.shtml) or contact the coordinator of OIFC, Katie Anderson, 503-378-2528. Attention School Librarians: Submit reports to OIFC on challenges after they have gone through your school?s formal challenge to materials process and a decision to retain, relocate, or remove the title has been officially made.

Well, then have I got great news for you! The recorded version of last week's Opposing Viewpoints in Context (OVIC) webinar is now available. http://www.screencast.com/t/NDU0NDM0M2 I posted the webinar on screencast.com because it allowed me to upload the entire 50 minutes for free, and the images and text are very clear, unlike other sites that I tried. Tips for viewing: * You might have to scroll down to find the thin video toolbar (to pause the video, for example). * You cannot remove the Screencast logo at the top of the screen, but you can scroll down until the OVIC logo is at the top. * Best I can tell, you can only view the tutorial in full-screen mode. I'll keep this online for about six months. The next OVIC webinars for Oregon library staff are on October 12th and 13th. Want something sooner? Then register for one of Gale's national trainings: http://support.gale.com/gale/index.html. Or, view the short tutorials on Gale's support site: http://www.gale.cengage.com/guidedtour/index.htm. Recall that Student Resources in Context uses the same interface that OVIC does.

With less than 80 working days before Congress adjourns, we need your voice to ensure passage of the Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act (S. 372, H.R. 1507). Over the past several months we have overcome opposition and now we are closer than ever to real reform. However, we risk having to start over next Congress if final passage of this bill isn?t made a political imperative. And in the meantime, countless whistleblowers continue to be the target of retaliation, without having any credible rights to defend themselves with. All of the cards are stacked in our favor, but time is running out! Congress needs to hear from you -- the whistleblowers and public at large that this reform is intended to protect. Please visit the LAC to contact your representatives and senators to express the importance of this issue!

Message-ID: Please excuse cross-postings - this looks like an interesting conference! PNC/MLA only one month away, sign up now! The 2010 Pacific Northwest Chapter/Medical Library Association (PNC/MLA) will be happening in one month, October 9-12, 2010! That's right! In only one month you will have the opportunity to gather with your colleagues to discuss health information issues and to participate in learning opportunities on everything from third-party Pubmed tools, to consumer-driven healthcare, to creating effective presentations, managing information overload and exploring services for mobile users. More information on continuing education sessions at http://depts.washington.edu/pncmla/pncmla2010/ce.shtml and below. Registration numbers for CE classes will be assessed on Sept. 17th. If minimum numbers are not met, some of these classes may have to be cancelled. Sign up now! More information on the entire program at http://depts.washington.edu/pncmla/pncmla2010/program.shtml . Registration from http://depts.washington.edu/pncmla/pncmla2010/ . Registration prices go up September 25, so register now! Continuing Education Sessions: PNC/MLA 2010 Saturday, October 9, 2010 12:30pm - 4:30pm Creating Effective Presentations Instructor: Anna Johnson ~~ Mt Hood Community College anna.johnson at mhcc.edu Cost: $70 | $90 non-PNC member Many librarians facilitate trainings and teach classes, but few of us are formally trained to deliver information effectively in front of an audience. Feeling under-skilled as a public speaker can make librarians dread giving a talk, and feeling pressure to teach everything important in a single session can make us bombard students with too much information. Participants in this lively, hands-on class will learn how to go beyond slide software to better engage and educate an audience both during a library instruction session and after the session ends. The first half of the class will focus on public speaking skills and audience engagement strategies, with an emphasis on the structure and timing of spoken presentations. Participants will be encouraged (but not compelled) to practice these new techniques in front of the group. After a short break, the class will resume with a crash course in document design principles and processes for creating content-rich instructional materials. Participants will be seated at individual computers and will be given time to practice these document design principles by editing a template file provided by the facilitator. Upon completing this class, participants will be prepared to improve their library instruction sessions by always developing their presentations in two parts: an engaging in-class lesson and a well-designed, web-accessible document for students to learn from later. ________________________________ Saturday, October 9, 2010 1:00pm - 5:00pm Managing Information Overload Instructor: William Jones ~~ University of Washington williamj at uw.edu Cost: $70 | $90 non-PNC member Information scattered and disorganized can overwhelm. The same information organized can be a thing of utility and even beauty. How then do we manage "information overload"? We ignore or eliminate information at our peril. Better is an approach that seeks to organize our information and our interactions with this information in accordance with the roles we mean to fulfill in our lives and the goals we wish to achieve. This is the point of personal information management or PIM. In this course, you will learn about PIM and how it can be applied in your life. The course will include a hands-on segment during which you will identify and refine a personal unifying taxonomy (PUT). Your PUT provides a basis for "placing" and organizing the information you need to lead the live the life you want to live. Bio: William Jones is a Research Associate Professor in the Information School at the University of Washington where he manages the Keeping Found Things Found group (kftf.ischool.washington.edu). He has published in the areas of personal information management (PIM), human-computer interaction, information retrieval and cognitive psychology. Prof. Jones wrote the book "Keeping Found Things Found: The Study and Practice of Personal Information Management" and also edited the book "Personal Information Management" (with co-editor Jaime Teevan). Prof. Jones received his doctorate from Carnegie-Mellon University for research into human memory. ________________________________ Sunday, October 10, 2010 8:00am - 5:00pm Online Consumer Health and Consumer-Driven Healthcare Lisa Gualtieri ~~ Tufts School of Medicine Cost: $140 | $160 non-PNC member How are people using the Internet to support their health information needs? What are their objectives, triggers? How does their level of health literacy affect what they get out of it and their degree of success? What is the role of physicians and nurses? There's a growing chasm between healthcare professionals and consumers concerning the large role of the Internet in consumers' use of the healthcare system and their decision making about their healthcare. What can librarians do to help consumers obtain and manage the information they need for their healthcare? And how can librarians help bridge the chasm between healthcare professionals and e-Patients? What are the methodologies used & skills required to design a health web site for consumers, based on a consumer-driven process? ________________________________ Sunday, October 10, 2010 8:00am - 11:00am Third-Party Pubmed Tools Instructor: Alison Aldrich ~~ NN/LM PNR aldrich3 at u.washington.edu Cost: $60 | $80 non-PNC member The freely available PubMed API (application programming interface) makes it possible for programmers from outside of the National Library of Medicine to develop alternatives to PubMed.gov for searching NLM's vast database of biomedical journal literature citations. This three-hour workshop will introduce several popular and free third-party PubMed tools, comparing and contrasting them with the PubMed.gov interface. Through case studies, group exercises and hands-on practice, participants will become familiar with the strengths and limitations of search tools such as HubMed, PubGet, Novoseek, and Quertle. This workshop is intended for intermediate and advanced PubMed searchers. Objectives: Participants will be able to * Use and teach others about the latest updates to PubMed.gov * Name and develop appropriate search strategies for at least three third-party PubMed tools * Identify situations in which searching with a third-party tool would be beneficial * Stay current with new developments related to third-party PubMed tools ________________________________ Sunday, October 10, 2010 12:30pm - 2:30pm Services for Mobile Users: Introduction Instructors: Kim Griggs, Laurie Bridges and Hannah Rempel ~~ Oregon State University kim.griggs at oregonstate.edu | osulibrary.oregonstate.edu/staff/griggsk laurie.bridges at oregonstate.edu | osulibrary.oregonstate.edu/staff/bridgesl hannah.rempel at oregonstate.edu | osulibrary.oregonstate.edu/staff/rempelh Cost: $35 | $55 non-PNC member In this presentation the Oregon State University MobileLib team will discuss why OSU Libraries chose to spend time and resources developing a mobile site. The team will review the current status of mobile statistics and demographics information, take a look at examples of mobile sites, compare options for mobile catalogs, discuss what is currently hot in mobile library sites, and cover best practices for creating your own user-friendly mobile library site. This presentation is intended for librarians just beginning the process of mobilizing their Web site and will provide you with the tools to make a strong argument to your library management about the importance of having a mobile Web site. ________________________________ Sunday, October 10, 2010 3:00pm - 5:00pm Services for Mobile Users: Coding Instructors: Kim Griggs, Laurie Bridges and Hannah Rempel ~~ Oregon State University kim.griggs at oregonstate.edu | osulibrary.oregonstate.edu/staff/griggsk laurie.bridges at oregonstate.edu | osulibrary.oregonstate.edu/staff/bridgesl hannah.rempel at oregonstate.edu | osulibrary.oregonstate.edu/staff/rempelh Cost: $35 | $55 non-PNC member In this class Oregon State University Libraries' programmer will cover the basics of building standards-compliant web sites for mobile devices.

One of the 24 challenged items was removed from the collection due poor condition, and one item was relocated from the young adult to the adult section. Of interest this year is that an online video was challenged and retained. I encourage you to incorporate this information and/or the titles of the challenged materials in your Banned Books Week displays and activities. Many people may not realize that book banning is not a thing from the past or that attempts to ban books are made every year right here in Oregon. This is a valuable educational opportunity to discuss the nature of the First Amendment-just as we have a right to access these materials in our libraries, we have a right to question whether they are appropriate to include in public collections. * Why might someone find these materials inappropriate? * Why should they remain in the collection? * Is labeling a book an effective way to inform people about content that may not be appropriate for everyone or is it a form of censorship? * What would you do if someone came up to you in your library and said they want you to remove a book from the collection? * Why is a collection development policy the most important line of defense when library materials are challenged? * Does your library have a policy or established procedure for patrons to challenge material? You can find resources that may help you answer these questions at: http://www.oregon.gov/OSL/LD/intellectual.shtml About the OIFC Annual Report Every year the Oregon Intellectual Freedom Clearinghouse (OIFC) publishes a report on challenges to all types of library materials in Oregon. This report provides a landscape of censorship activity in Oregon, and is submitted to ALA's Office of Intellectual Freedom to be included in their report on censorship activity in the United States. The Annual Report is also used by librarians and teachers to help them develop activities for Banned Books Week. The Annual Report is based on challenge reports OIFC receives from all types of Oregon libraries (school, academic, and public). All local libraries are encouraged to report challenges to materials on a voluntary basis. OIFC does not publish names of people, organizations, libraries, and towns identified in challenge reports confidential. I will be compiling the 2011 Annual Report in August 2011. Please submit a separate challenge report for each formal challenge to library materials that occur at your library between July 1, 2010 and June 30, 2011. Reports may be submitted as they are resolved or altogether in July 2011. This information is complied to assist Oregon libraries currently facing a challenge as well as providing information that will help you plan Banned Books Week activities. The Annual Report will tell you what books were challenged in Oregon libraries the previous year. The more libraries reporting challenges to OIFC the better OIFC can help you! Please take time to report challenges to OIFC. The accuracy of OIFC's Annual Report and Title Index to Challenges is directly related to the number of Oregon libraries reporting challenges. To report challenges to materials at your library: 1. Download and print the form at http://www.oregon.gov/OSL/LD/intellectual.shtml#Report_Challenges_to_the_State_Library 2. Fill out a challenge report form for each item that went through your library's formal process for dealing with challenges to library material. 3. Mail your completed form(s) to: Oregon State Library c/o Oregon Intellectual Freedom Clearinghouse 250 Winter St. NE Salem, OR 97301 For more information about OIFC visit our website (http://www.oregon.gov/OSL/LD/intellectual.shtml) or contact the coordinator of OIFC, Katie Anderson, 503-378-2528. PS: Attention School Librarians! Submit reports to OIFC on challenges after they have gone through your school's formal challenge to materials process and a decision to retain, relocate, or remove the title has been officially made. Submit reports on informal challenges to OASL's Intellectual Freedom Committee Chair, currently Leigh Ann Morlock (lamorlock at hotmail.com).

Ignition Grants for Libraries and Museums Message-ID: <810CC03BDFB8D94883767344C8B7EE2E088596D0@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local> IMLS Releases Guidelines for Sparks! Ignition Grants for Libraries and Museums Deadline for applications: November 15, 2010 Washington, DC-The Institute of Museum and Library Services announces the release of grant guidelines for Sparks! Ignition Grants for Libraries and Museums (http://www.imls.gov/applicants/grants/SparksIgnition.shtm). This new grant program will provide one-year grants of $10,000 to $25,000 for innovative projects that respond to the challenges and opportunities facing cultural heritage institutions in a rapidly changing information environment. The submission deadline is November 15, 2010. Successful proposals will address problems, challenges, or needs of broad relevance to museums, libraries, or archives, will test innovative responses to these problems, and will make the findings of these tests widely and openly accessible. Grant funding may include all activities associated with planning, deploying, and evaluating the innovation, as long as the expenses are allowable under federal and IMLS guidelines. Examples of projects that might be funded by this program include, but are not limited to: ?exploring the potential of highly original, experimental collaborations, ?implementing new workflows or processes with potential for substantial cost savings, ?testing new metrics or methods to measure the impact of promising tools or services, ?rapid prototyping and testing of new types of software tools, or creating useful new ways to link separate software applications used in libraries, archives, or museums, ?offering innovative new types of services or service options to museum, library, or archive visitors, or ?enhancing institutions' abilities to interact with audiences in new ways to promote learning or improve services, such as through the deployment of innovative crowd-sourcing techniques. Sparks! Ignition Grant funds may not be used for: ?evaluation of an existing program or service, ?projects that are only for planning or research (as distinguished from experimentation), ?projects that are limited to existing and traditional approaches to exhibitions, performances, or other types of public programs, ?projects that involve mainly digitization, unless the applicant is proposing an innovative method for digitization, ?activities that will produce only incremental improvements in operational or business processes, ?support of conferences or professional meetings, or ?acquisition of equipment in excess of 50 percent of the total funds requested from IMLS. Because innovations can emerge in a variety of settings, the Sparks! Ignition Grants initiative is structured to encourage participation by museums and libraries of all types and sizes. Libraries and library organizations that fulfill the general criteria for libraries may apply (http://www.imls.gov/applicants/libraries.shtm). Museums and museum organizations that fulfill the general criteria for museums may apply (http://www.imls.gov/applicants/museums.shtm). Partnerships are permitted, but not required. No cost sharing is required for these grants. Webinars with Sparks! Grants Staff Learn more about the Sparks! program at one of IMLS's upcoming webinars. Sparks! program staff will talk about the purpose of the grants, the grant application process, and answer participants' questions during three upcoming webinars.

A few days ago I sent out messages to various discussion lists in the library and information science communities asking for help figuring out why, even though I kept specifying in Google Advanced Search mode that I wanted a limit of 100 items, Google kept reverting to only 10 results. Many people told me that this annoying development was due to the implementation of Google Instant, and various solutions were proposed such as clearing out my browser cache and trying this: Google with SSL: https://www.google.com/ But what seems to have solved the problem for me came from a nice man called Michael Ivie who suggested the solution at the end of this note (see below my contact info). Anyway, I am very grateful for all the help and am happy to report that I can now search up 100 items on a page again. It is surprising that Google implemented this change without any warning and that I had to seek out help from all the many helpful librarians and information scientists out there who took the time (even on the weekend) to theorize, speculate, ruminate and troubleshoot on my behalf. Thank you, all! 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 Here are Michael's suggestions: I believe the "bug" you are referring to is brought on by the Google Instant Search. Apparently it's intended to limit the search terms in order to retain an orderly response time. Rebooting/clearing your cache are unlikely to change this. I recommend that you log into your google account and change the number of search terms in the preferences section. ---- 1. open Google search, log into account. 2. click on the "settings" link in the upper right hand corner. click on "search settings" in the drop down box that is offered. 3. Scroll down to "number of results" and place your preference. [try 30, 50 for an opener ... unless you have a sufficiently high performance computer, 100 items is likely to hinder you less than help.] 4. Under "Google Instant" click the button "Do Not Use Google Instant" to disable the feature. Excerpt from Google help section: Number of results Unless you change this preference, you'll see 10 search results per page. We set it this way because this produces the fastest response time. But if you want to see more results per page, you can increase the number to 20, 30, 50 or 100, if you have Google Instant disabled. (This setting doesn't affect results in Google Images. The number of results you see in Images is determined by the size of your screen.) --- Right-O, Hope this helps.

We can easily get the straight count of users on our internet PCs, which are managed by Envisionware. However, we also want to count users of our database-only PCs, which do not use Envisionware or any other kind of log-in software. Because of the various ways databases report their use stats, and because one user may use multiple databases in one sitting, we don't think those counts will be helpful. We could put Envisionware on those PCs for one week, but that loses all the folks who don't have cards who use those resources, and adds a barrier to folks who don't normally use their login information. And it's a fair bit of work, etc. We could put a short-ish idle time-out on the PCs for a week, and count times the screensaver stops, but a person is likely to take some time to read an article, and would be justifiably annoyed if the time-out is too short. We could recruit volunteers to count "butts in seats", but that's a lot of volunteers. What are YOU doing to count these figures at your library?

Below is the text of the press release explaining this project. Happy researching! Dave Hegeman Business Reference Librarian Special Collections Coordinator Oregon State Library 250 Winter Street NE Salem, OR 97301 (503) 378-5006 Fax: (503) 588-7119 http://library.state.or.us September 14, 2010 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE State Library Makes Historic Voters' Pamphlets Available Online The Government Research Services division of the Oregon State Library has digitized a historic run of Oregon Voters' Pamphlets as part of its mission to make government information available to the citizens of Oregon. Digital and paper copies of the Voters' Pamphlets are also a permanent part of the Oregon State Library's Oregon Documents Collection. In 1904, Oregon became one of the first states to print and distribute a voters' pamphlet. Voters' Pamphlets are a rich source of historic information including the full text of all measures voted on by the people; statements, biographical information and portraits of candidates running for state office; and statements for and against candidates and measures. At http://library.state.or.us/databases/subjects/Voters_Pamphlet.php users may browse individual issues, or search across decades of Oregon's colorful elections history. Some interesting samples of information contained in the pamphlets include: * Arguments for and against Oregon's controversial and ground breaking Death with Dignity Act (1994 General election) * What parties, in addition to Democrat & Republican, had candidates for president in 1936? (1936 general) * Franklin Roosevelt's specific message to women voters (1944 general) * How is "habitual criminal" defined in the Sterilization Act (1913 special) The pamphlets are a unique resource for historical information valuable to researchers of all sorts. "We are happy to be able to begin to bring these rare and historic documents out of the stacks and onto the Web for everyone to research and enjoy," says State Librarian Jim Scheppke. One copy of the Voters' Pamphlet is mailed to every household in the state preceding every primary and general election, and special elections involving state measures or candidates for state office. County clerks may include local election information with the State Voters' Pamphlets or issue their own local voters' pamphlets. Separately published local voters' pamphlets are not included in this project. The first phase of the project covers general and special election pamphlets issued for Marion County. Additional pamphlets may be added as resources permit. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The students can't perform miracles, but for those of us who lack coding skills this is worth a look.

Colleagues -- It's September! Time for ... Have you always wanted a particular software tool developed, but have never had the time to do it yourself? Well then, read on. Have I got an interesting deal for you! My name is Mike Bailey and I run the Oregon State University Computer Science Senior Capstone class. The Capstone class is a 3-quarter (Fall, Winter, Spring) "career preparation" experience. The major element of this is doing a significant 2-4 member team project. When the students come to the first class on September 28, I want to present them with a list of exciting, creative, and real-experience software engineering project possibilities. This is where you come in. I am looking for people to propose possible projects. A web site has been setup to give you more information, and let you enter and edit project proposals: http://cs.oregonstate.edu/capstone/proposeproject2010.php You have until September 27 to get yours in. That is the day before the students will see them, which will start the selection process. In that process, I ask the students to "bid" on their top 3 choices. I ultimately make the final project assignments, but I try to take their preferences into account. I find I get better results that way. There will likely be more projects proposed than student teams to do them. *So, really sell your project idea.* Definitely don't understate its cool-ness factor! After projects have been selected, we follow a client-contractor model in which I "run" the software contract company and you are one of our valued clients. The students "report" to me, but you, as client, work directly with them to design the requirements, set the timeline, and guide the progress. Each quarter, you also assign 20% of their grade points. Any project can be proposed from anybody. It doesn't matter where you are from, just that your project represents an excellent software engineering educational experience for the students. Do remember, however, that these are seniors. They have taken the core classes so far, but most have not taken the electives that would really help in some projects, such as graphics, AI, etc. They can learn, but it takes a little time. Keep that in mind when proposing. If you have questions or want to discuss project possibilities, feel free to contact me at: Mike Bailey Professor, Computer Science Oregon State University 2117 Kelley Engineering Center 541-737-2542 mjb at cs.oregonstate.edu Thanks for your time -- I look forward to working with you! -- Mike Bailey ------------------------------------------------------------ Mike Bailey Professor, Computer Science 3D Graphics, Scientific Visualization Oregon State University 2117 Kelley Engineering Center Corvallis, OR 97331-5501 541-737-2542 FAX: 541-737-1300 mjb at cs.oregonstate.edu http://cs.oregonstate.edu/~mjb 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.

Sager -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [alacro-l] New Resources from Public Library Funding & Technology Access Study Date: Tue, 21 Sep 2010 11:44:03 -0400 From: Don Wood To: Good morning. The ALA Office for Research & Statistics is pleased to announce new resources for using data from the /Public Library Funding & Technology Access Study/, new ways to connect with the data and is encouraging public libraries to help us continue telling the public library technology story by participating in the 2010-2011 survey. 1) Data in Action . According to a survey of state library agencies, obtaining media placements and creating templates and tools for communicating findings at the state and local level are two of the best ways the study team can leverage the study and the information provided by public and state libraries. The new Data in Action section on the study website is the beginning of an effort to share tools and examples of how study data is being used to inform and educate stakeholders about the value of libraries and issues related to sustaining public library technology services. As always, the study provides state-level summary data that can be used for statewide advocacy efforts, and the Center for Library & Information Innovation (which manages the public library survey for the ALA) has created new one-page flyers highlighting data by state showing how libraries support employment and e-government. If you don?t see your state listed, it means that we didn?t receive enough survey responses last year to do state-level analysis (see below). 2) Libraries Connect Communities blog . In addition to the new Data in Action Web pages, we?ve launched a new blog that features updates on new tools that provide state and local libraries with data they can easily use for advocacy and media relations; greater detail on study data points in the news; effective practices gleaned from study focus groups, site visits and interviews; frequently asked questions and more. We also hope to integrate study data within wider conversations around library technology and funding. We invite readers to comment, question, challenge, confirm or simply share successes and obstacles. 3) 2010-11 public library survey . Thanks to libraries of all sizes, we are able to produce an annual report (using several data elements that stretch back to 1994) describing the technology and funding landscape for our public libraries. We can?t do it without you ? but we can (and did!) make it easier to respond. If you participated in the survey last year, you can now import that data if it hasn?t changed. If you have more than branch, you can now select ?same for all branches? where that?s the case instead of inputting new data each time? States that begin with O (Oregon and Ohio) currently have the highest percentage of responding libraries at 14% (Oklahoma, New Mexico and Colorado also are in double digits). Thanks! Do you have an example of how you?ve used the study data? or something you?d like us to share on the blog? or a request for how we can put the data to use for your libraries? If so, send an email to Larra Clark (lclark at ala.org ) or Caroline Jewell (cjewell at ala.org ), and we?ll see what we can do! Thanks, as always, for helping us get the word out among your members about the study.

Everyone is welcome to attend the lecture, which is abstracted below: Think with Me: The Possibilities of Public Conversations in Cultural Institutions The formative legacy of any democratic culture or leaning community is borne and embodied by its library. At its best, it is a living, constructive institution where experience and knowledge increase. The aspirations of a community--what it wants to become and what it hopes to give to its children--require a generative public conscience and provocative voices. More than record of our time and place, the library is a record of us as we embrace or turn away from our challenges. We require a place that holds both pages and voices, electrons and arguments, and more: a place where thoughtful citizens will strive to become something together. The lecture will be held in Gordon Smith Hall on the campus of Lewis & Clark College and is the 11th Johannah Sherrer Memorial Lecture in Library Service. For further information on the Sherrer Lecture and for information on visiting campus, please see the links below. http://library.lclark.edu/lib/sherrer.htm http://www.lclark.edu/visit/ A reception will follow the lecture.

Continuing Education Sessions: PNC/MLA 2010 Saturday, October 9, 2010 12:30pm - 4:30pm Creating Effective Presentations Instructor: Anna Johnson ~~ Mt Hood Community College anna.johnson at mhcc.edu Cost: $70 | $90 non-PNC member Many librarians facilitate trainings and teach classes, but few of us are formally trained to deliver information effectively in front of an audience. Feeling under-skilled as a public speaker can make librarians dread giving a talk, and feeling pressure to teach everything important in a single session can make us bombard students with too much information. Participants in this lively, hands-on class will learn how to go beyond slide software to better engage and educate an audience both during a library instruction session and after the session ends. The first half of the class will focus on public speaking skills and audience engagement strategies, with an emphasis on the structure and timing of spoken presentations. Participants will be encouraged (but not compelled) to practice these new techniques in front of the group. After a short break, the class will resume with a crash course in document design principles and processes for creating content-rich instructional materials. Participants will be seated at individual computers and will be given time to practice these document design principles by editing a template file provided by the facilitator. Upon completing this class, participants will be prepared to improve their library instruction sessions by always developing their presentations in two parts: an engaging in-class lesson and a well-designed, web-accessible document for students to learn from later. ________________________________ Saturday, October 9, 2010 1:00pm - 5:00pm Managing Information Overload Instructor: William Jones ~~ University of Washington williamj at uw.edu Cost: $70 | $90 non-PNC member Information scattered and disorganized can overwhelm. The same information organized can be a thing of utility and even beauty. How then do we manage "information overload"? We ignore or eliminate information at our peril. Better is an approach that seeks to organize our information and our interactions with this information in accordance with the roles we mean to fulfill in our lives and the goals we wish to achieve. This is the point of personal information management or PIM. In this course, you will learn about PIM and how it can be applied in your life. The course will include a hands-on segment during which you will identify and refine a personal unifying taxonomy (PUT). Your PUT provides a basis for "placing" and organizing the information you need to lead the live the life you want to live. Bio: William Jones is a Research Associate Professor in the Information School at the University of Washington where he manages the Keeping Found Things Found group (kftf.ischool.washington.edu ). He has published in the areas of personal information management (PIM), human-computer interaction, information retrieval and cognitive psychology. Prof. Jones wrote the book "Keeping Found Things Found: The Study and Practice of Personal Information Management" and also edited the book "Personal Information Management" (with co-editor Jaime Teevan). Prof. Jones received his doctorate from Carnegie-Mellon University for research into human memory. ________________________________ Sunday, October 10, 2010 8:00am - 5:00pm Online Consumer Health and Consumer-Driven Healthcare Lisa Gualtieri ~~ Tufts School of Medicine Cost: $140 | $160 non-PNC member How are people using the Internet to support their health information needs? What are their objectives, triggers? How does their level of health literacy affect what they get out of it and their degree of success? What is the role of physicians and nurses? There's a growing chasm between healthcare professionals and consumers concerning the large role of the Internet in consumers' use of the healthcare system and their decision making about their healthcare. What can librarians do to help consumers obtain and manage the information they need for their healthcare? And how can librarians help bridge the chasm between healthcare professionals and e-Patients?

Please take this opportunity to make your voice heard on this important subject! http://www.wo.ala.org/districtdispatch/?p=5250 Below is the latest communication from Ithaka S+R: Dear Colleagues, On behalf of the Government Printing Office, Ithaka S+R is launching a project that will develop sustainable models for the Federal Depository Library Program in the 21st century. The Program plays a critical role in making federal government information available to the American public, preserving it, and providing services to help the public and specialized user communities to make effective use of government information. We?re currently reaching out to libraries of all types ? public, government, academic, and law libraries, and both participants and non-participants in the Program ? to alert you of the launch of this project. We hope that ALA members will choose to engage with us regularly during the project?s six-month duration, to ensure that your experience and perspective is incorporated to the greatest extent possible. Engaging the community ? including non-participating libraries that may rely on depository libraries in providing government information services to their constituents as well as members of the Program ? is a priority for this project. We will rely on the input of the library community in our efforts to model a FDLP that meets the needs of depository libraries as well as of the broader library community and those they serve. Towards this end, we?ve just launched a website ? fdlpmodeling.net ? to serve as a venue for community engagement, providing updates on the status of the project, offering a variety of mechanisms for community input, and sharing drafts and interim deliverables for comment. We?d encourage you to visit the site, learn about the project, and share your thoughts with us at this early stage. While you?re there, please subscribe to our RSS feed or sign up for email updates so you can be alerted of new posts. And of course, please share this information with any colleagues or others who might be interested. We hope to hear from you over the course of this project, either via fdlpmodeling.net or directly by email.

The American Library Association (ALA) says an Order passed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) today is a significant first step toward truly simplifying and streamlining the E-rate program, which is critical to libraries across the country. The reforms outlined today by the FCC would adjust the annual funding cap to inflation, reinstate leased dark fiber as eligible for discounts, and simplify the application process ? a reform the ALA has long sought and believes will lead to more successful library applications. ?These developments could ultimately bring more money to our libraries, which means better services for the public; however, in order to maximize these benefits, applicants need swift guidance from the FCC on the implementation of these rules,? said Emily Sheketoff, executive director of the ALA Washington Office. ?In light of the difficult budget constraints facing many libraries, we thank the Commission for its efforts today to increase the size of the program by indexing the funding cap to inflation, and we look forward to further efforts by the Commission to meet the needs of schools and libraries as part of comprehensive Universal Service reform.? Linda Lord, chair of the ALA?s E-rate Taskforce and Maine State Librarian, said E-rate support is critical to providing robust connectivity for library services in communities nationwide. ?Without the E-rate Program, schools and libraries would not have access to critical resources such as online job training, government information and education resources. As technologies evolve and budgets remain tight, libraries will depend more and more on E-rate discounts, and the ALA believes increased funding will be required in the future to meet library needs.?

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 .

Patron Driven Acquisitions for eBooks (LYRASIS) Patron driven acquisitions for eBooks is not a new concept but interest in it is growing thanks to broader adoption of eBooks in libraries and patron expectations, driven in part by consumer experience.

In this session, we will provide an overview of concepts and issues from the librarian, patron, and vendor viewpoints and hear actual case studies from librarians who are planning or have implemented successful (and unsuccessful) patron driven programs. Timothy Cherubini, LYRASIS' Program Director for East Region Services and Shared eBook Collections Librarian leads the discussion with contributions from several librarians from the field.

Add MARC records to your catalog. Although a wise step, is it enough? Increasingly, discussions of discovery suggest a focus on being where the patrons are, not relying on directing patrons to library catalogs or web pages. With eBooks, the issue is exacerbated as the concept of a "book" and its authority in an online world are challenged. Samual Klein, Wikimedia Foundation Trustee and Director of Outreach for One Laptop Per Child; Mike Sweet, Credo Reference CEO, and librariens discuss the issue in a panel moderated by LYRASIS' Timothy Cherubini.

The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) allows the public to petition for access to government documents and the amended laws were attempting to provide the Security and Exchange Commission unwarranted exemptions. FOIA was created to protect classified government information while at the same time providing the public with a way to access that information that is not classified. The bill passed in unchanged in both the Senate and the House and is now awaiting the President?s signature. This is an important step to ensure that the Freedom of Information Act and the public?s right to know are not impeded. As Sen. Leahy said, ?The Freedom of Information Act has long recognized the need to balance the government?s legitimate interest in protecting confidential business records, trade secrets, and other sensitive information from public disclosure, and preserving the public?s right to know. To accomplish this, care must always be taken to ensure that exemptions to FOIA?s disclosure requirements are narrowly and properly applied. The bill accomplishes this important goal.? Read Sen. Leahy's text at: http://www.wo.ala.org/districtdispatch/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Leahy-CR.pdf You may view the latest post at http://www.wo.ala.org/districtdispatch/?p=5301 You received this e-mail because you asked to be notified when new updates are posted.

I take issue with the statements made by L.S.S.I. CEO Frank Pezzanite. Implying that library staffs are just waiting around to cash in on retirement, when in fact there are thousands of librarians serving 1.5 billion visitors annually with dedication, assumes that people will fall for the ?demonization? of the public sector. Libraries and their employees, who are often paid salaries far below the demands placed on them and the education required for their positions, serve as a lifeline for millions of Americans. From free access to books and online resources to library business centers that help support entrepreneurship and retraining, libraries with top-notch staff are needed now more than ever in our increasingly competitive global economy. Publicly funded libraries should remain directly accountable to the publics they serve.
