Please read the following email for details. A past teleconference will air on February 4th from 9-10:30am. We will let you know which one will air as soon as we find out.

Apparently, a snowstorm to rival the Blizzard of 1967 is headed for Chicago and we were not certain our presenters and program host could get here from Philadelphia and Florida (there were scheduling conflicts as well). So, the decision was made to postpone the teleconference for later this winter or early spring of 2011 (the date to be determined). A past teleconference will air this Friday in its place (the specific program to be determined). I will send an announcement tomorrow morning to you and to all our subscribers as soon as I have more details. As always, please let me know if you have questions.

But it's not always easy to find the best information to meet users' needs. In this program, Michael Galloway, Manager, Digital Collections for ipl2: Information You Can Trust, and John Mark Ockerbloom, editor of The Online Books Page, will give a tour of some of the millions of books, magazines, journals, and informative web sites that can be accessed online for free. They will discuss how they evaluate and describe online resources to include in their directories, how readers can find what they need in these directories and elsewhere online, and how they can distinguish useful information from unreliable or irrelevant sites. You'll find out how you can integrate free online resources with your local library offerings in ways that give patrons better service than either online or print alone can provide. And you'll also learn how your library and your patrons can contribute to this growing corpus of knowledge. This webinar is 90 minutes in length-9am to 10:30am.

Board members will be meeting with legislators in the morning. Their meeting will begin at 1:30 in the afternoon in Room 102. On the Board's agenda will be a recommendation from the Library Services and Technology Act Advisory Council about remote hosting for Plinkit websites and the Oregon School Library Information System website. Until now these websites have been hosted at the State Library. The Board will also review bills that have been introduced in the Legislature that might have an effect on library services in the state. Board member Aletha Bonebrake will demonstrate the new Evergreen open source integrated library system that is now being used by the Sage Library System in Eastern Oregon. An Open Forum will be held at 3:00 p.m. Any member of the public may address the Board in the Open Forum on any topic. State Library News STATE LIBRARY STAFFS LEGISLATIVE LIBRARY There's a new partnership in place to provide fast, on-site reference service to the Legislature this session. In the past, Legislative Committee Services have had staff in place to run the Legislative Library. With budget cuts and staff changes, there was funding to operate the library for the 2011 session, but no person in place. The State Library's Government Research Services (GRS) team agreed to partner with Committee Services. Operating under a contract between the two agencies, three GRS librarians will split the 45 hours per week that the library is open. They will provide service to Legislators and their staffs, legislative employees, and the general public who come into the library. This partnership maximizes the service to the Legislature by drawing on the existing expertise of GRS staff and the tools already in place to serve state government. By emphasizing the State Library's role in providing the service, GRS can also raise the awareness of services available directly from the State Library when the legislature is not in session. GRS staff will be working in the Capitol from January 18 to June 30, 2011. FREE TRAINING OPPORTUNITY Free Content for Library Collections will be broadcast on Friday, February 4, 2011 from 9:00 am - 10:30 am. This webcast is part of the Library Futures: Staying Ahead of the Curve 2010 training series. Staff from Oregon libraries may participate in this webcast at no charge. This training series is a staff development opportunity in the best sense of the term. It gives staff a solid framework for problem-solving in today's complex library environment. You and your staff can maximize these opportunities by bringing a group of interested staff together to watch, organize discussions about the impact of the shows' content on your library, and follow up with a discussion on what next steps your library can take. For more information go to College of DuPage. DVDs of this webcast and previous webcasts are available via ILL from the State Library. PROJECT COMPASS WORKFORCE RECOVERY TRAINING COMING TO OREGON The State Library is working with Washington County Cooperative Library Services and two staff members from the Tigard Public Library, Kathy Smith and Charles Dunham, to bring workforce development training to Oregon librarians. Project Compass, from WebJunction and the State Library of North Carolina, has been awarded a second year IMLS grant to continue its work to bolster library-based responses to communities impacted by the recession. Oregon is one of a limited number of states with the highest unemployment numbers over a 14-month period and has been invited to participate in the most concentrated effort of the grant program. This effort begins with a Train-the-Trainer Institute in February 2011, at which the Project Compass team will provide the curriculum and training to enable two trainers from each target state to deliver workforce recovery workshops in the highest unemployment counties in their states. The local workshops will occur from March through August 2011. Stay tuned for additional information on workshops in your area.

The Ready to Read Annual Report is an analysis of the Ready to Read Final Reports submitted to the State Library every December. The State Library has established metrics that measure the effectiveness of the Ready to Read Grant Program. The metrics provide longitudinal data on public library youth services and public library usage statistics. This data allows public libraries to see how their efforts impact library services to children in Oregon, and serves as a tool for setting local youth service goals. 2009-2010 OUTSTANDING READY TO READ GRANT PROJECTS AWARDED Each year the State Library staff recognizes several public libraries for their outstanding Ready to Read Grant projects. The criteria for this recognition are: the library adheres to the original intent of the Ready to Read Grant, focuses on one or more of the three Ready to Read Grant best practices, promotes partnerships both in and out of the library, and creates a project that is replicable in other libraries, or enhances current library services. Libraries recognized for their Outstanding Ready to Read projects in 2009-2010 are: Cedar Mill Community Library, Douglas County Library System, Eugene Public Library, Lake County Library District, and Stayton Public Library. The Ready to Read Grant web page provides more information about these outstanding projects.

Other Library News SAGE LIBRARY SYSTEM GOES LIVE WITH EVERGREEN Sage Library System of Eastern Oregon has gone live with Evergreen as their next generation ILS. Equinox Software, Inc. oversaw the installation and migration of data from their previous system. Sage Library System of Eastern Oregon consists of 63 public, college, and school libraries. Eastern Oregon University, Pierce Library, is a member, and the university provides hosting services for the consortium. Karen Clay, Library Director at Eastern Oregon University, says, "We are very excited about the change to the new software. I think library users will get a better online experience. I am also pleased that after the transition, more of the public funds paid by Sage member libraries will be used for public purposes rather than being paid to a commercial software vendor." Equinox CEO, Brad LaJeunesse, says, "A consortium like Sage with very diverse libraries will certainly see the benefits of open source software. Public, school, and academic libraries all have different needs but the flexibility of Evergreen makes it an ideal system to allow every library to function at its highest level." Evergreen is a robust, open-source integrated library system best known for its unique ability to meet the needs of very large, high-transaction, multi-site consortia. However, it has also proven equally successful scaled down for even the smallest libraries. Since its debut in September 2006, the software has sustained the 280-plus libraries of the Georgia PINES consortium. Evergreen now supports over 700 libraries of every type-public, academic, special, and school media centers. Evergreen's rapidly expanding community includes libraries across 4 countries including 18 U.S. states and 8 Canadian provinces. FY 2010 ANOTHER BANNER YEAR FOR PUBLIC LIBRARIES The State Library has compiled the annual statistical reports from public libraries and posted them on our website. While we are still doing quality checks, it appears that Oregon public libraries turned in another strong performance in FY 2010. Circulation was up 6.5% from the prior year to over 59 million. In the past five years circulation has seen 4% annual growth. It's also interesting to note that public library circulation has doubled in Oregon just since 1996. Fifty-eight libraries reported double-digit circulation growth. The Lebanon Public Library which, occupied a new facility in FY 2010, reported a 52% increase in circulation. As has been true in recent years, Oregon public libraries have had to improve their productivity to cope with increased use. The total staffing of Oregon public libraries rose only 1.9% in FY 2010. Libraries used more volunteers to deal with increasing workloads. Total volunteer hours were up 9% from the previous year to over 559,000 volunteer hours. Library programming statistics were up even more than library circulation statistics. The number of children's programs was up 8% to over 45,000. The number of programs for teens was up 11% and the number of programs for adults was up 20%. CONGRESS REAUTHORIZES LSTA AND APPOINTS NEW IMLS DIRECTOR In the waning days of the 111th Congress, two actions sought by the library community were pushed through, thanks to hard work by the American Library Association Washington Office and the Chief Officers of State Library Agencies. On December 23rd Congress passed the 2010 Museum and Library Services Act (MLSA) reauthorization, which includes the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act. The bill reauthorizes LSTA for another five years at the same funding authorization level as in 2003 ($232 million). Only minor changes are made to the law, though there is greater recognition of the evolving role of libraries in support of workforce development, preservation, digital literacy and training and education. The bill better aligns the activities that can be supported with LSTA funds with the statutory purposes of the act and encourages state libraries to coordinate with other state programs that support early learning, workforce development and public health. The bill specifically directs the use of LSTA funds to support projects that enhance library and information services through new technologies, including projects that enable library users to acquire digital literacy skills and that make information more accessible and available. The Congress also approved the appointment of Susan Hildreth of Seattle to a four-year term as the new Director of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). IMLS is the federal agency that administers the LSTA program. Hildreth has most recently served as City Librarian at the Seattle Public Library. Prior to working in Seattle she held a number of posts including State Librarian of California and Director of the San Francisco Public Library. "I am thrilled that my colleague Susan Hildreth was chosen by President Obama to lead the IMLS," commented State Librarian Jim Scheppke. "Susan is someone who really understands the needs of libraries on the West Coast - she will be great to work with." KLAMATH COUNTY FRIENDS WILL COLLECT JAPANESE INTERNMENT STORIES The Friends of the Klamath County Library have been awarded a $55,000 grant from the National Park Service to undertake an oral history project, "Breaking the Silence, The Power of Remembering." The project will document over 20 stories of individuals who were incarcerated in the Tule Lake Segregation Center near Newell, California, south of Klamath Falls. Gayle Yamasaki will be the Project Director. The grant is one of 23 grants that were awarded under the Japanese American Confinement Sites Program established by the Congress in 2006. Congress appropriated $3 million for grants in the current fiscal year. They were awarded in a competitive process and required a $1 match for every $2 in Federal funds awarded. The grant program aims to teach and inspire present and future generations about the injustice of World War II confinement and demonstrate the nation's commitment since then to equal justice under the law. P.S. (From the State Librarian) What an exciting couple of months it has been in the ebook world. First there was the launch in early December of the Google's long-awaited ebookstore. Google claims to have the largest selection of any ebookstore, made up of in-print books and public domain books - three million of the latter. I presume these are mostly books that Google has been scanning from academic library book collections (none in Oregon) for several years now. Thanks again, academic libraries, for giving away the store. And what about all those "orphan works" that Google has been scanning too? Those are books that are out of print but in still under copyright. There are millions of those too, but Google will have to wait until its lawsuit with the publishers and authors is settled. That could still take awhile. Another exciting development in December was an announcement by the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at the Harvard Law School that they were launching an initiative they are calling the Digital Public Library of America. They have put together an impressive steering committee of librarians, academics and foundation folks with the goal of creating an "open, distributed network of comprehensive online resources..." The key word is "open." You have to wonder if this isn't intended to be the anti-Google - an attempt to take back our literary patrimony from the grasp of the corporate leviathan. It may have been inspired by David Rothman, a long-time thought leader in the ebook world who presented his vision of what he calls a "National Digital Library System" in an essay published on The Atlantic website in November. In our own little library ebook world the big news recently was the release of ebook apps by our partner OverDrive for the iPhone and Android smartphones. I'm sure this will be welcome news to users of Library2Go and will boost the use of the service. The service already got a boost in December, apparently due to the number of ebook readers that Oregonians received for Christmas. Carrie Ottow, a librarian in Corvallis who works with Library2Go, shared statistics with me that show that the number of ebooks borrowed from Library2Go in December jumped 37% from the previous month. That's terrific. Apparently this happened in libraries across the country - so much so that OverDrive servers were overloaded and users got error messages and slow downloads for a few days after Christmas. By the end of the month things were back to normal and OverDrive's Dan Stasiewski commented on the OverDrive blog that "this is a good problem to have." Ebook lending from Oregon public libraries is still in its infancy. The 15,000 books loaned in December compares with about 5 million that Oregon public libraries loaned in an average month last year. But I have no doubt that we have seen the future, and it's not made of dead trees. All libraries need to all get in the game and work with projects like Library2Go and the Digital Public Library of America to maintain free and open access to our literary heritage. - 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.

But it's not always easy to find the best information to meet users' needs. In this program, Michael Galloway, Manager, Digital Collections for ipl2: Information You Can Trust, and John Mark Ockerbloom, editor of The Online Books Page, will give a tour of some of the millions of books, magazines, journals, and informative web sites that can be accessed online for free. They will discuss how they evaluate and describe online resources to include in their directories, how readers can find what they need in these directories and elsewhere online, and how they can distinguish useful information from unreliable or irrelevant sites. You'll find out how you can integrate free online resources with your local library offerings in ways that give patrons better service than either online or print alone can provide. And you'll also learn how your library and your patrons can contribute to this growing corpus of knowledge. This webinar is 90 minutes in length-9am to 10:30am.

As you may know, OSLIS has been available/up all day Tuesday and today except for 10 minutes of scheduled maintenance around 4pm yesterday.

As mentioned in a previous message, besides making it a priority to get OSLIS working again, we initiated steps to help ensure greater stability in the future. More on that as it develops. Thanks to students, teachers, and you for your patience during this trial. Here are two parting thoughts borrowed from comedian Carrie P. Snow: ?Technology... is a queer thing.

He asks that you share this information with your constituencies. Thanks, Rodney * * All: The Digital Literacy Working Group is an interagency body established to advise the Obama Administration on actions it might consider to promote broadband as a platform to improve the lives of everyday Americans. As the digital and online world becomes more robust, global, and interactive, a compelling need is growing to advance the digital literacy of all our nation?s citizens. As young students are developing their knowledge and sense of the world, they must also develop their voice in the online world. As adults are entering into and sustaining the workforce, the ability to create, innovate, communicate with, and leverage digital resources is paramount to our long term economic viability. Digital literacy practitioners in the field have identified the need for a centralized location to connect to the most current resources available, collaborate, and share best practices to support opportunities for all Americans to build digital literacy skills. The Digital Literacy Working Group aims to produce a digital literacy web portal that is the ?go-to? place for a variety of practitioners to connect to the most current resources on digital literacy. Your support is critical to the success of this effort. We would like to identify digital literacy resources developed by organizations across the country to make them available to everyone in an organized manner. The success of this effort depends on the quality of the content. If you have a resource, image, video, or tool that might be helpful for this portal and would like to be featured on the website, you may email the name of the resource, the URL where the resource is located, and a brief description of the resource to DigitalLiteracy at bah.com . We also ask that you identify the subject area that the digital literacy resource addresses, where applicable (educator, finance, health), and gauge the skill level (e.g., beginner, intermediate, or advanced) you believe is required to successfully access and use the resource provided. Our goal is to provide access to free, high-quality, widely used, and available programs, resources, training, and curricula inside and outside of the Federal Government. We expect the content to follow the convention of appropriateness. Therefore, we will not include links that: ? Contain vulgar language, personal attacks of any kind, or offensive terms that target specific ethnic or racial groups ? Promote services or products (non-commercial links that are relevant to digital literacy are acceptable) ? Are off-topic ? Are political endorsements ? Make unsupported accusations or ? Solicit financial contributions. Please ensure your content contains none of the above and adheres to the Digital Literacy Website Policy. Thank you in advance for your consideration of this request, and we look forward to working with you as we develop the site. We know that libraries can help with this!

Two Democrats and one Republican have each introduced a bill to address the issue. The bills conflict on how long to extend the authorities and how much oversight to include. The Senate must decide which approach to take before these authorities expire at the end of February. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) was hoping his committee could mark up his bill Thursday. Leahy's bill, the USA Patriot Act Sunset Extension Act, would extend three surveillance authorities until the end of 2013, and provide for increased oversight of U.S. intelligence gathering tools. Specifically, the bill would allow the U.S. to continue "roving surveillance" of targets, collect business records and other tangible intelligence records, and surveillance of solo operators who are not tied to a specific terrorist group but may pose a threat to the United States. But new Judiciary ranking member Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) introduced a bill Friday that permanently extend these authorities. Grassley, along with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), said temporary extensions and the threat of oversight would hinder U.S. intelligence agents. "The threat of terrorism isn't going away so we must provide our agents with the tools they need to get the job done," Grassley said. "Given that terrorist threats, including those from self-radicalized individuals, continue to evolve, we must ensure that our law enforcement agents are not burdened with new restrictions on existing authorities." Thursday, Leahy charged Republicans with politicizing the issue. "We should not play politics with national security," Leahy said. He added that he has been conducting "aggressive oversight" of USA PATRIOT Act surveillance authorities since the original bill was passed in 2001. But Leahy is also facing a challenge from within his own party. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) has introduced her own bill that would extend the surveillance authorities until 2013, but would do so without the additional oversight language that Leahy prefers. In Thursday's hearing, Feinstein indicated that there may not be enough time to consider Leahy's reforms. All three bills have been introduced consecutively: Feinstein's is S. 289, Leahy's is S. 290, and Grassley's is S. 291. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Friday morning objected to the second reading of these bills on the Senate floor, which puts them aside for now and allows for more time to decide how to proceed. -- *Diedre Conkling Lincoln County Library District P.O.

Cataloging and Organizing Digital Resources: A How-To-Do-It Manual for Librarians. New York: Neal-Schuman, 2005. 025.344 Mitch ISBN:1-55570-521-9 This practical volume addresses the ways a library can manage electronic collections. The goal is to provide an overview of management concerns and issues regarding bibliographic control in an online environment and to suggest tools that are available. The 10 chapters address such topics as development of digital libraries, organization of work flow, alternatives to cataloging, cataloging rules and records, online monographs and serials, integration of resources, and trends. Each chapter offers an introduction; guidelines, instructions, or strategies; and a summary and references. The writing is clear, with plentiful examples that include figures and titles. The volume should be useful to librarians seeking a broad survey of the online information territory and how it can be managed. Patricia Hogan Copyright (c) American Library Association. This volume is a clear representation of how to catalog online resources and is a valuable tool for experienced and novice catalogers alike. --Library Collections, Acquisitions, and Technical Services [book2.jpg]Bowman, J. H. Essential Cataloguing. London: Facet Publishing, 2007. 025.32 Bowma. ISBN: 1-85604-456-4 This book covers descriptive cataloging and is designed as a simple companion to AACR2. The author believes that most items can be dealt with by using comparatively few of the rules, and that many of the more abtruse ones can be ignored until you need them. This book therefore concentrates on the basics. It has a clear, informal approach, with less important aspects set in smaller type, and is fully cross-referenced to AACR2. Concentrating on the materials most Anglo-American libraries are most likely to meet, it includes MARC21 coding and examples, and is designed for library school students and beginning catalogers.

Liisa?s transcript is online at http://www.oregonlibraries.net/notable. In this transcript Liisa works with a student who is writing a research paper on the effects of poverty on children and their education. She opens with a friendly welcome and then immediately clarifies the request by asking an open-ended question. Liisa refers the patron to a website for some beginning information, and then goes into the library databases to which the student has access to find more information. She compares the database set, which is new to the patron, to OSLIS, which is not, to set the patron at ease with using new tools. She provides clear instructions about accessing the databases and recommending a place to start in them. Liisa instructs the patron about keyword searching when the student asks for ideas when his/her initial search fails. She asks follow-up questions to make sure that the student is following her and uses humor and personal details to build rapport. She makes sure that the student has everything s/he needs, offers some additional ideas for resources, and concludes with an invitation to visit the service again for more help. The Quality Team is impressed with Liisa?s teaching skills, her rapport building with the patron, and how easily the conversation seems to flow. As an expression of appreciation, please join us in congratulating her!

Seek improvements to expiring sections of USA PATRIOT Act as in S. 290. Tonight, the House of Representatives is expected to vote on Representative Sensenbrenner?s bill H.R. 514 ?to extend expiring provisions of the USA PATRIOT Improvement and Reauthorization Act of 2005 and Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 relating to access to business records, individual terrorists as agents of foreign powers, and roving wiretaps until December 8, 2011.? This bill would merely extend the sunset date until the end of this year and make no improvements to protect our civil liberties, including the reader privacy rights. The last time that this occurred, Congress promised that that these provisions would be discussed and improvements would considered. It is essential that we hold them to their word and insist a NO vote on H.R. 514 that would remove even the possibility of debate. http://www.wo.ala.org/districtdispatch/?p=5622 -- *Diedre Conkling Lincoln County Library District P.O.

Kim Richardson, Tualatin Public Library Dive Into Saving for College Recap: * 6,713 Oregon children and teens were entered into the drawing by their parents or guardians. * Entries were received from 201 libraries and branches in Oregon. * Oregon received the second highest number of entries among the 9 states that offered Dive Info Saving for College last summer. Announcing Destination College Savings: * The 2011 summer reading sweepstake will be called Destination College Savings. * Libraries ordered materials for Destination College Savings when they completed the summer reading survey in November. Libraries should start receiving these materials in the beginning of May. * Destination College Savings will begin June 1, 2011 and end September 2, 2011. * The entry age for parents and guardians of summer reading participants will be lowered from 21 to 18 years of age, and materials will more clearly explain that adults may enter both for their own children (teens) and their grandchildren (teens' babies). We are unable to lower the age more because federal law prohibits people under 18 entering this program. * Librarians and their families will be eligible to enter, as will most State employees. The only people not eligible are employees of the Office of the State Treasurer, TIAA-CREF, the PR firms marketing the sweepstakes and the employees' families. * Winners will be selected in a random drawing within the first few weeks of September 2011. Once winners' eligibility has been verified, they will be notified and given until approximately October 15, 2011 to complete and return the paperwork necessary to claim their prize. Libraries will be notified that they have a winner after their winner's paperwork has been approved and they have been confirmed as a winner. Libraries with confirmed winners will receive a sample press release so they can publicize their winner locally as soon as possible. Statewide publicity will take place for all winners who claimed their prize by approximately October 15-probably the beginning of November 2011. * There will not be a re-draw for prizes not claimed by the October 15 deadline. However, libraries listed on the entry form of the person who did not claim their prize will still receive $500 for participating in Destination College Savings. Please let me know if you have any questions about the changes.

Three copies of the exhibit will travel to 40 libraries from fall of 2011 through winter of 2013. For more information, including access to the online application, visit www.ala.org/kingjamesbible . The year 2011 marks the 400th anniversary of the first printing of the King James Bible. ?Manifold Greatness: The Creation and Afterlife of the King James Bible? tells the story of the origins, creation, and impact of the book, including its influence on English and American literature and its multifaceted impact on culture and society to the present day. The fascinating history and influence of the King James Bible will interest many viewers of the traveling exhibit, resulting in a new understanding of the book?s social, cultural, literary and religious influence over four centuries. Libraries applying to host ?Manifold Greatness: The Creation and Afterlife of the King James Bible,? must register their institution at Grants.gov . Prospective applicants are advised to register with Grants.gov as soon as possible, since the process can take up to two weeks to complete. Online applications must be completed by April 5. Successful applicants will host the exhibit for a four-week period between fall of 2011 and winter of 2013 and will receive a $2,500 grant from NEH for attendance at an exhibit-planning workshop and other exhibit-related expenses. Participating libraries are expected to present at least two free public programs featuring a lecture or discussion by a qualified scholar on exhibition themes. All showings of the exhibition must be free and open to the public. The exhibition, consisting of 14 graphic panels printed onto seven double-sided banners, requires approximately 600 square feet of display space. ?Manifold Greatness: The Creation and Afterlife of the King James Bible,? a traveling exhibition for libraries, was organized by the Folger Shakespeare Library, Washington, D.C., and the ALA Public Programs Office. It is based on an exhibition of the same name developed by the Folger Shakespeare Library and The Bodleian Library, Oxford University, to mark the 400th anniversary of the publication of the King James Bible. The traveling exhibition was made possible by a major grant from NEH. ****************************** ALA Public Programs Office www.ala.org/publicprograms publicprograms at ala.org Are you a Programming Librarian? -- Portland State University logo Suzanne L.

Mid-week Congressional Update February 09, 2011 At this writing, it?s the best of times, the worst of times? URGENT MESSAGE TO ALL HOUSE MEMBERS: the H.R. 514 vote now scheduled for Thursday, February 10th, should again be defeated. Continue to vote against H.R. 514 and support proposals such as those in S. 290? that would better protect civil liberties and reader privacy, in particular, while extending the next sunset to December 2013. MESSAGE TO SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE MEMBERS: ?Please vote YES on S. 290 in committee markup. The bill provides reasonable changes to protect our civil liberties, including reader privacy protections, increases oversight and reporting while extending the sunsets until the end of 2013 to take PATRIOT debate out of election year politics. [ For previous report with specific talking points see: http://www.ala.org/ala/issuesadvocacy/advocacy/federallegislation/theusapatriotact/advocate/index.cfm] HOUSE: PATRIOT Act bill defeated for first time in the House!? at least, temporarily. ALA has just heard, that the House of Representatives, which defeated H.R. 514, last night ? will now have another vote tomorrow, Thursday, February 10 th. H.R. 514 is a bill ?To extend expiring provisions of the USA PATRIOT Improvement and Reuathorization Act of 2005 and Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 relating to access to?..[ http://www.thomas.gov/cgi-bin/thomas]. This bill would extend three sections of the USA PATRIOT Act, including Section 215, the business records section, often referred to as the ?library provision.? The final vote was a surprise outcome for the new Republican leadership ? actually for many observers. The bill had been debated Tuesday on the House floor for less than an hour with the floor vote starting at 6:30 p.m. Because the bill was on suspension calendar it required a 2/3rd majority to pass ? which did not happen. It is likely that the next House floor vote will be tomorrow, Thursday, February 10th. House leadership will bring the bill up on its regular agenda under rules that would allow for only a simple majority for passage. The current sunset for the three expiring sections (Secton 215/business records, lone wolf and roving wiretaps provisions) is February 28, 2011, which means Congress must move quickly. H.R. 514 would establish a new sunset of December 8, 2011, without any amendments or changes. ALA supports defeat of this sunset bill and urges needed amendments to Section 215, and national security letters ? which are in Senator Leahy?s S. 290. [ Preliminary vote analysis suggests that many new House members supported the call from Rep. Ron Paul and other "libertarians" to minimize government controls in our lives. Stayed tune for more on House activities. Summary Chart of vote on HR 514, February 8, 2011: Yeas Nays PRES NV Republican 210 26 5 Democratic 67 122 4 Independent TOTALS *277* *148* ** *9* SENATE: There is no business meeting or markup scheduled this week in the Senate Judiciary Committee to address PATRIOT Act bills and the pending sunset of February 28. Last week Senator Leahy's bill, now S. 290, previously S. 193, was tabled. This tactic seems to support the Republican strategy of delaying any action on substantive changes to the three expiring sections (see above) so that one of the "mere sunset extension" bills would prevail.

The following results comprise a summary of that first survey for public library staff. The survey was administered by word of mouth and via email lists, in addition to being linked through the Washington State Library website and highlighted on the WSL blog. W encouraged all types of library staff, from all types of libraries, to respond this survey, in the hope that we could determine how library databases are being used and valued in a number of contexts. This summary aggregates responses and comments from all users that started the survey. 588 library staff started the survey, with 74.1% (436 library staff) completing it.

I just want to let you know that someone spotted a significant error in the children's summer reading program manual on page 203.

Thank you, Katie Katie Anderson, Library Development Services * Youth Services Consultant * Oregon Center for the Book Coordinator * Oregon State Library, 250 Winter St. NE, Salem, OR 97301 katie.anderson at state.or.us, 503-378-2528 ________________________________ I would like to thank everyone involved in the creation of the 2011 CSLP manual for One World, Many Stories. It will no doubt be invaluable to me throughout this summer. I appreciate that with such a huge undertaking mistakes are bound to arise but I happened to come across one oversight this morning that I thought was significant enough to point out to you so it can at the very least be changed in the online materials. On page 203 of the manual there is a map of Africa for a fill in the country "Where in Africa Is..." game. My concern is that the map includes the country of Zaire, which has not been a country since 1997. That area is now the Democratic Republic of Congo. I just feel as if it is very important for us as librarians to put our best foot forward and give the most current information available especially about an area of the world that is so often overlooked and marginalized.

This workshop will offer an opportunity to practice techniques covered in "Basic Book Repair" (page reattachment, hinge and spine repairs) and will introduce some more challenging procedures, such as re-casing and paper repair. Participants are asked to bring books from their own libraries to work on, particularly at least one thorny problem that has been sitting on your desk waiting for TLC. Since each person will have their own repair jobs with potentially different needs to address, we'll have the opportunity to pool our knowledge and solve problems together as we work. There will also be books available for you to practice on. Please bring your own basic tools (ruler, x-acto knife, brush, bone folder, scissors) and we'll provide the paper, cloth, adhesives, and cutting surfaces.

Murphy Date: Tue, Feb 15, 2011 at 11:49 AM Subject: [alacol2] Urgent Action Needed on 2 Amendments in the House To: fllan at ala.org, nlld at ala.org, legnet at ala.org, alacol2 at ala.org, grassroots at ala.org This week, the House of Representatives will consider two amendments to the FY2011 Continuing Resolution that are critical to libraries ? one that would eliminate all Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) funding including Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) funding and another that would halt all funding for Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) orders seeking libraries and bookstore records of U.S. citizens. *E-mail via Capwiz or call your representative at (202) 224-3121 today and tell him or her to oppose Amendment #35 to the Continuing Resolution!* Amendment #35, submitted by U.S. Rep. Scott Garret (R-NJ), seeks to zero out the Institute of Museum and Library Services, eliminating all federal funding specifically for libraries. *Message to Your Representative:* - Libraries are essential to every community, and federal funding is critical for ensuring library resources and services remain available to their constituents. - LSTA supports all kinds of libraries including school, academic, and public libraries. - Public libraries are the primary source of no-fee access to the Internet and are active in assisting the public with online job searches, e-government services, and lifelong learning. *E-mail via Capwiz or * *call your representative at (202) 224-3121 today and tell him or her to support Conyers? amendment to the Continuing Resolution! * This amendment, sponsored by U.S. Rep. John Conyers (D-MI), would halt all funding for FISA orders seeking libraries and bookstore records of U.S. citizens. Currently, this vote is scheduled for this Thursday, February 17. *Message to Your Representative:* - Vote YES on the Conyers amendment to the FY2011 Continuing Resolution to halt funding for Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) orders that would seek library and bookstore records of U.S. citizens; - The Conyers amendment seeks to protect individual privacy and personal reading records from inappropriate access by law enforcement; - Like previous reader privacy bills, this amendment has bipartisan support; - Law enforcement access to the reading habits of individuals should be held to a higher legal standard in order to protect civil liberties and the right to read and access information. In the weeks to come, extending your advocacy efforts to your senators as well as continuing to reach out to your representatives will be vitally important to protecting the future of libraries. Questions as well as reports and feedback from your calls and e-mails are welcomed. Please contact Kristin Murphy or Lynne Bradley at the ALA Office of Government Relations, Washington Office.

Because of ALA?s unprecedented grassroots efforts this week on amendment #35 to H.R. 1 (the Continuing Resolution to the FY2011 budget) was defeated! This victory for libraries is undoubtedly due to the strong grassroots efforts of librarians and library supporters all across the country. As you recall, late Monday evening U.S. Rep. Scott Garrett (R-NJ-5) introduced an amendment that would eliminate all funding for the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) including funding for the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA), the primary source of federal dollars to libraries. Today, as the U.S. House of Representatives wraps up floor debate on HR 1, Rep. Garrett has made it clear to us that he is no longer ?pushing? for a vote on his amendment. Once the House passes H.R. 1, - likely today or tomorrow - the budget will be sent over to the Senate where they will have the opportunity to make amendments and vote on this year?s budget bill. Even though we overcame this amendment, our work is not done. H.R. 1 still has to be approved by the Senate and signed by the President. Please tell your friends, library users and advocates that their voices will be needed on library issues in the weeks and months to come. Also, libraries face cuts in President Obama?s FY2012 budget request sent to Congress on February 14. In his request, President Obama cuts funding to LSTA by $20 million as well as consolidates Improving Literacy Through School Libraries with other literacy programs in the Department of Education. ALA needs you to continue your calls to Congress in our fight to protect library funding in FY?12. This is only the beginning; libraries will continue to be threatened in the next Congress. Now, more than ever, we need your participation on May 9-10, 2011 at ALA?s National Library Legislative Day in Washington D.C. where you will have the opportunity to meet with your members of Congress and explain to them why cutting library funding would be short-sighted.

The National Archives will be putting out an official statement on the issue, but in the meantime I was able to speak with David McMillen the External Affairs Liaison at the National Archives. He assured me that the library is not closing and the collection would remain accessible to the public. There are going to be changes to the library. Due to budget constraints the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) will be merging library services with other services. This means that: - The library will remain open and staffed and public access will remain - The library collection will remain intact (with the exception of the bound serial set being moved because the library has purchased an online version). - Like most libraries facing budget cuts, acquisitions will be substantially reduced. - Seven positions will be reassigned, not laid off. Some of those people may be providing library reference within a different unit, but it is too soon to say where people will be assigned. - The records management process with the Government Printing Office will not be affected by this merge.

At this point, the project isn't "officially" available for public consumption, but will be placed into our production environment in early March with an official announcement coming around the same time. I would like make the Oregon Library community aware of this project ahead of that announcement and allow this group on opportunity to preview it, ask questions (if there are any), offer feedback related to functionality (or search relevancy) and potentially self-identify additional collections from institutions not represented in the initial phase of the project. Anyway... Oregon State University Valley Libraries has completed work on an LSTA sponsored project lovingly called, the Oregon Digital Library Project (ODL). The project goals were to create a portal that would bring together all the digital collections being created in the state - and provide a clearinghouse that would help to make Oregon's digital collections easier for more Oregonians to discover, as well as help individuals interested in specific content make those connections with the digital collection owners and rights holders. The project as it stands now, includes collections from most of Oregon's 7 OUS State institutions, as well as from public libraries and museums that make their collections available online and utilize software that makes access to their collections metadata available in a standards compliant format (specifically, OAI-PMH for the initial harvests). Initial collections were selected primarily based on their support for standards-based metadata harvesting. In the coming weeks, I'll be filtering in access to a number of other collections that, while not able to provide their data in OAI-PMH format, can provide their metadata in a manner that will enable automated collection and harvesting. So what is the ODL? The ODL is essentially a public discovery tool for Oregon digital collections. It doesn't capture or host digital assets, but rather, harvests metadata about individual items found in collections around the state. Using software developed at Oregon State University Valley Library, these collections are then indexed, and made available through a global search. The fact that it is possible to build the ODL for the state of Oregon is a testament to the fantastic work being done by institutions around the state building high quality digital collections. Likewise, I think it bodes well for the state of Oregon that as these collections are being built, institutions are not just creating collections, but they are creating collections that encourage the harvesting and re-use of their metadata to help patrons build connections to their data in ways that we maybe never saw possible. On first run, approximately half a million items were harvested and continues to be processed, so more information will continue to filter through the site as time progresses. Presently, the ODL project URL can be found at: http://odl.library.oregonstate.edu. This is a placeholder location for the project as we continue to do some data processing and prepare the site for production. However, feel free to visit the site, run some searches, look at the data - though apologies in advance if initial response time is occasionally uneven. That will change once the project has been fully integrated into the OSU Libraries' production infrastructure. --TR ******************************** Terry Reese, Associate Professor Gray Family Chair for Innovative Library Services 121 Valley Libraries Corvallis, Or 97331 tel: 541.737.6384 ******************************** -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Net neutrality?s week in review February 23, 2011 ( No Comments) Last week was a rough one for network (net) neutrality supporters, especially in the U.S. House of Representatives. Following the introduction of the President?s 2012 budget request, the House swung into gear offering up a number of budget-reducing amendments, including one from Rep. Walden (R-OR-2) that would bar the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) from using any funds to implement its net neutrality order. Meanwhile, a couple U.S. House subcommittees got busy holding hearings on net neutrality. The House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Communications and Technology called all five FCC Commissioners to testify at their hearingtitled ?Network Neutrality and Internet Regulation: Warranted or More Economic Harm than Good?? The ALA, along with the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) and EDUCAUSE, weighed in by sending a letterto House leadership, expressing opposition to using the Congressional Review Act or any other legislation to overturn or undermine recently enacted net neutrality rules passed by the FCC. And the library and higher educations organizations were not alone ? our letter was joined by several othersin support of net neutrality, ranging from small businesses to Catholic bishops. The day before, the U.S. House Judiciary?s Subcommittee on Intellectual Property, Competition and the Internet held its own hearingtitled, ?Ensuring Competition on the Internet: Net Neutrality and Antitrust.? By midweek, Senate republicans joined in on the action and introduced a joint resolution (S.J. Res. 6), along with their colleagues in the House (H.J. Res. 37), disapproving the net neutrality order approved by the FCC. Then, in a flurry of activity in the House leading up to the vote on H.R. 1, the Continuing Resolution (CR) for the budget, the anti-net neutrality amendment offered by Rep. Walden passed. So, where does all this leave the issue of net neutrality? For one thing, the House Republicans have clearly voiced their dislike of net neutrality and have taken several different legislative approaches to pull the plug on the FCC?s order and its ability to enforce it ? at the same time punting the issue over to the Senate. While the House action on net neutrality wasn?t all that surprising (even anticipated, quite honestly), it is less clear what the issue?s fate might be in the Senate. While the Senate Democrats hold the majority, it will take all acting in unity to ultimately support net neutrality when it comes time to vote. A complete list net neutrality-related activity during the 112th Congress is available here .

(Have you been "Elseviered" lately?) The professors need to publish in these journals in order to achieve tenure; the libraries need to subscribe to the journals so the professors can keep up with the newly published research, and the publishers rake it in. Tenure committees need to start recognizing that the world has changed and that these journal publishers are bleeding libraries of their ever-diminishing budgets. Yes, I have had to pay for reprints of my own articles, so I am standing with you!

Protect federal funding for libraries! To: "Diedre Conkling" Dear ALA Members, I am writing to you today to enlist your participation in an association-wide advocacy campaign to protect funding for the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) and the Improving Literacy Through School Libraries program. Recently, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a Continuing Resolution (CR), H.R. 1, funding the remainder of Fiscal Year 2011. The House version zeroed out the Improving Literacy Through School Libraries program. Action now moves to the Senate, which is drafting its own version of the CR. This is the time to reach out to your U.S. senators by phone or email ? and, importantly, to urge others in your communities to do so as well. The request to your senators is straightforward. In the Continuing Resolution for 2011: 1. Maintain the 2010 funding level of $213.5 million for the Library Services and Technology Act. 2. Maintain the 2010 funding level of $19.1 million for the Improving Literacy Through School Libraries program. Beyond these basic requests, I urge you to share with your senators how you are using this federal funding and how the constituents of your state benefit educationally and economically from library services during these challenging times. Provide examples of how you assist the public with online job searching, preparing resumes, small business development, accessing online information and training, etc. Inform your senators about the role school libraries play in ensuring students graduate with the skills they need to be successful in today?s workforce. The Improving Literacy Through School Libraries program increases the literacy skills and academic achievement of students by providing them with access to up-to-date school library materials; well-equipped, technologically advanced school library media centers; and well-trained, professionally certified school librarians. This is only the latest part of our ongoing need for grassroots advocacy on federal appropriations and other library issues. The federal government?s 2012 budget will be the next focus of Congress. Your messages to the senators requesting 2011 support for the Library Services and Technology Act and the Improving Literacy Through School Libraries program will also influence their deliberations for the 2012 funding levels. Your advocacy is vital to ensuring that our libraries remain a fundamental force in America?s economic and educational future. As an association ? and as a profession ? we must work together to have a strong voice. The ALA Legislative Action Center (http://capwiz.com/ala) can assist you with contacting your senators. If you need further help, call Jeff Kratz or Kristin Murphy with the ALA Office for Government Relations at 1-800-941-8478. Thank you. Sincerely, Roberta Stevens ALA President If you no longer wish to receive e-mail from us, please click here. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Stieg Larsson's acclaimed Millenium trilogy topped library circulation lists in all formats (print, ebook, and audiobook). Larsson was not only ubiquitous, he and his heroine had also become an institution in libraries. While readers are searching for the next Stieg Larsson, they remain hungry for more thrillers, historicals, police procedurals, cozies, and romantic suspense. Help satisfy that hunger by filling your library shelves with the latest titles from their favorite mystery writers!

At the same time, the Libraries' Reinventing Reference Collaborative began work on developing a reference training program based on a set of eleven core competencies they had identified as essential skills for all reference services staff. One specific competency--the reference interview--offered a unique opportunity for a new digital training tool. Using video game design principles, the group began the process of creating branching narratives based on the libraries' core users and types of reference interactions (email, chat, face-to-face, and phone). In addition to the training deliverable, the group has used the video game design process as an opportunity for reflecting and experimenting with instructional practice. University of Minnesota collaborators Tony Ihrig, Kate Peterson, and Paul Zenke will describe the origins of the project and their progress to date. To register for this event, go to: http://www.blendedlibrarian.org/events.html March 4 (9-10 am) Tech Tools with Tine: 1 hour of Google Sites (Texas State Library & Archives) In this session of Tech Tools with Tine, technology trainer Christine Walczyk will focus on Google Sites.

Many of us, however, work in buildings which are not quite so great - what can we do to offer our customers a better experience? Rachel Van Riel will talk about designing library interiors that work for readers. How can we find out what people want? How can we design libraries which are tempting for customers, drawing people into the space and encouraging them to linger and browse? Rachel will present evidence of changes in patron behaviour in the UK and illustrate how a reader-centred approach to library layout can help to meet new needs. Putting readers at the centre of your design may change the way you organise and promote your collections as well as your space. It will probably change the role of library staff too. If you are seeking a new look for your library, join this webinar to discover a fresh approach.

In-Reply-To: Message-ID: <46103E8D5A8084479733F34A498EFFF50128725D83@COMF-MAIL.comf.local> Attention Oregon Libraries: One major publisher, looking for more profits, has decided eBooks licensed to libraries will only be valid for 26 circulations. After that you will have to buy it all over again! This is a very disconcerting development on the part of a greedy publisher. Libraries must unite in opposition to this "checkout limit" concept, even if it means boycotting publishers who institute it. It's the thin edge of the wedge. More than a hundred years ago publishers had similar profit-driven concerns about the availability of books for free at libraries cutting into retail sales. We need to go back and rediscover how libraries overcame that issue. According to Library Journal: "Josh Marwell, President, Sales for HarperCollins, told LJ that the 26 circulation limit was arrived at after considering a number of factors, including the average lifespan of a print book, and wear and tear on circulating copies. As noted in the letter, the terms will not be specific to OverDrive, and will likewise apply to "all eBook vendors or distributors offering this publisher's titles for library lending." The new terms will not be retroactive, and will apply only to new titles. More details on the new terms are set to be announced next week. If a lending period is two weeks, the 26 circulation limit is likely to equal roughly one year of use for a popular title. For a three-week lending period, that stretches to a year and a half." I think I may write to Mr. Maxwell and inform him that, effective immediately, our library will not buy any title from any HarperCollins imprint in any format (print, audio recording, or electronic) as long as his new policy remains in effect. I will inform patrons seeking HarperCollins titles of the reason we do not have them. Because many lower-demand titles are profitable primarily through library sales (poetry and reference books come to mind) this action, if taken by a few thousand libraries, would certainly get Mr. Maxwell to reconsider.

(Have you been "Elseviered" lately?) The professors need to publish in these journals in order to achieve tenure; the libraries need to subscribe to the journals so the professors can keep up with the newly published research, and the publishers rake it in. Tenure committees need to start recognizing that the world has changed and that these journal publishers are bleeding libraries of their ever-diminishing budgets.

Sager -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [alacro-l] Federal Funding for Libraries: A Message from Roberta Stevens Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2011 15:31:55 -0500 From: Emily Sheketoff To: Dear ALA Members, I am writing to you today to enlist your participation in an association-wide advocacy campaign to protect funding for the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) and the Improving Literacy Through School Libraries program. Recently, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a Continuing Resolution (CR), H.R. 1, funding the remainder of Fiscal Year 2011. The House version zeroed out the Improving Literacy Through School Libraries program. Action now moves to the Senate, which is drafting its own version of the CR. This is the time to reach out to your U.S. senators by phone or email ? and, importantly, to urge others in your communities to do so as well. The request to your senators is straightforward. In the Continuing Resolution for 2011: 1. Maintain the 2010 funding level of $213.5 million for the Library Services and Technology Act. 2. Maintain the 2010 funding level of $19.1 million for the Improving Literacy Through School Libraries program. Beyond these basic requests, I urge you to share with your senators how you are using this federal funding and how the constituents of your state benefit educationally and economically from library services during these challenging times. Provide examples of how you assist the public with online job searching, preparing resumes, small business development, accessing online information and training, etc. Inform your senators about the role school libraries play in ensuring students graduate with the skills they need to be successful in today?s workforce. The Improving Literacy Through School Libraries program increases the literacy skills and academic achievement of students by providing them with access to up-to-date school library materials; well-equipped, technologically advanced school library media centers; and well-trained, professionally certified school librarians. This is only the latest part of our ongoing need for grassroots advocacy on federal appropriations and other library issues. The federal government?s 2012 budget will be the next focus of Congress. Your messages to the senators requesting 2011 support for the Library Services and Technology Act and the Improving Literacy Through School Libraries program will also influence their deliberations for the 2012 funding levels. Your advocacy is vital to ensuring that our libraries remain a fundamental force in America?s economic and educational future. As an association ? and as a profession ? we must work together to have a strong voice. The ALA Legislative Action Center (http://capwiz.com/ala) can assist you with contacting your senators. If you need further help, call Jeff Kratz or Kristin Murphy with the ALA Office for Government Relations at 1-800-941-8478. Thank you.

In response, I told them that I would pull the article unless I could retain reprint on online privileges. At that point, they told me that they signed those contracts only with companies, not individuals. So I created (in my head) Tony Greiner Enterprises, and sold it the rights to the article for 1 cent. I sent the article in again under the new company name, and said it would retain copyright and online right. The article was printed, and I have reprinted the article and used it online.

I am passing this along, FYI. * * * * *--* *Trevor A. Dawes* Circulation Services Director *Princeton University Library* 609.258.3231 - voice 609.616.2095 - mobile tadawes - AIM tdawes at Princeton.edu ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: *Brett Bonfield* PRESS RELEASE For Immediate Release Contact info at boycottharpercollins.com Library Users, Librarians, and Libraries Boycott HarperCollins Over Change in Ebook Terms New York, NY -- Library users, librarians, and libraries have begun to boycott publisher HarperCollins over changes to the terms of service that would limit the ability of library users to borrow ebooks from libraries. A new website, BoycottHarperCollins.com, is helping to organize their efforts to get HarperCollins to return to the previous terms of service. On February 24, Steve Potash, the Chief Executive Officer of OverDrive, sent an email to the company's customers -- primarily US libraries -- announcing that some of the ebooks they get from OverDrive would be disabled after they had circulated 26 times. Soon after, librarians learned that it was HarperCollins, a subsidiary of News Corporation (NWSA), that intended to impose these limits. Immediately, library users, librarians, and libraries began voicing their opposition to the plan by HarperCollins, with several library users and librarians urging a boycott. As Joe Atzberger, of Columbus, Ohio, one of the first librarians to address the issue, wrote on his Atzblog < http://atzberger.blogspot.com/2011/02/new-overdrive-drm-terms-this-message.html>: "The previous model already forced libraries to pretend a digital 'copy' was a single physical thing. Only one library's user can have it 'checked out' at a time. And only on one device. The clearly misapplied language around this tells you what a terrible idea it is. To be clear, this model eliminates almost all the major advantages of the item's being digital, without restoring the permanence, durability, vendor-independence, technology-neutrality, portability, transferability, and ownership associated with the physical version." Information on this grassroots campaign can be reached via a website that went online on February 27, 2011, BoycottHarperCollins.com. The boycott will end as soon as HarperCollins agrees not to limit the number of times a library can loan each ebook. # # # -- *Diedre Conkling Lincoln County Library District P.O.

Attention Oregon Libraries: One major publisher, looking for more profits, has decided eBooks licensed to libraries will only be valid for 26 circulations. After that you will have to buy it all over again! This is a very disconcerting development on the part of a greedy publisher. Libraries must unite in opposition to this "checkout limit" concept, even if it means boycotting publishers who institute it. It's the thin edge of the wedge. More than a hundred years ago publishers had similar profit-driven concerns about the availability of books for free at libraries cutting into retail sales. We need to go back and rediscover how libraries overcame that issue. According to Library Journal: "Josh Marwell, President, Sales for HarperCollins, told LJ that the 26 circulation limit was arrived at after considering a number of factors, including the average lifespan of a print book, and wear and tear on circulating copies. As noted in the letter, the terms will not be specific to OverDrive, and will likewise apply to "all eBook vendors or distributors offering this publisher's titles for library lending." The new terms will not be retroactive, and will apply only to new titles. More details on the new terms are set to be announced next week. If a lending period is two weeks, the 26 circulation limit is likely to equal roughly one year of use for a popular title. For a three-week lending period, that stretches to a year and a half." I think I may write to Mr. Maxwell and inform him that, effective immediately, our library will not buy any title from any HarperCollins imprint in any format (print, audio recording, or electronic) as long as his new policy remains in effect. I will inform patrons seeking HarperCollins titles of the reason we do not have them. Because many lower-demand titles are profitable primarily through library sales (poetry and reference books come to mind) this action, if taken by a few thousand libraries, would certainly get Mr. Maxwell to reconsider. Who's with me on this? Bob Jones, MA, MSLS, CAS Library Director Milton-Freewater Public Library -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I very much agree with Jim Knutson that Tony Greiner's post is hilarious. I do want to mention that I did get some useful feedback about my grousing about the offer from a publisher to sell me reprints of my own article. Several librarians on the lists I had posted it my grumbles to (I had posted it to the Medlib, the main discussion list of the Medical Library Association, the Scholarly Communications list of the ALA, and here). Several librarians pointed out to me that it is standard operating procedure to offer reprints for a fee to an author and they said that that is actually a courtesy on the part of a publisher to an author who might want elegant copies to give to relatives, colleagues, etc. and that furthermore this particular publisher does offer Open Access options. So I just want to pass that info along in the interest of accuracy and fairness. Nevertheless, I did find it a bit galling to be marketed to with my own stuff, which I was not paid for in the first place and do want to stress that Open Access options resulted from years of work by advocates for Open Access and should not be taken for granted.

Notice the option to sign up to receive announcements via RSS feed. http://support.gale.com/gale/index.html One thing to note is that Gale isn't always quick to post problems. I suspect one reason is because they need to determine if the problem is a temporary glitch or one that will last longer. I'm happy to look into Gale access problems for you, but if I'm away from my desk, checking the status on Gale's site is another option.
