 Every ALA Midwinter the ALA/SRRT Feminist Task Force tries to put together
a schedule of events that may be of interest to feminists and their friends

so it is a little late this year but we hope that it will still be of use to
you.  We hope to see you at some of these meetings and events. The schedule
may be found here:  http://ftfinfo.wikispaces.com/Conference+Schedules

Library Board News


STATE LIBRARY BOARD AWARDS PLANNING GRANT TO HOOD RIVER COUNTY

At their December 10th meeting at the Lebanon Public Library, the State Library Board awarded a $10,000 planning grant, using LSTA funds, to Hood River County. The grant will be matched by $10,000 from the Hood River County Library Friends of the Library and the Library Foundation. The money will allow the newly elected library district board to hire a planning consultant. The request to the Board was made by Sara Duckwall Snyder, who was recently chosen to chair the new board. The district board needs to plan for the reopening of the Library sometime next year. They hope to hire a new director sometime prior to July 1st and be able to offer some services in the summer. Tax revenue from the new library district levy won't begin to arrive until next fall, so it will be a challenge to try to provide some library services before then. In other business, the Board decided not to seek partial support for the L-net program, which is funded with LSTA funds, in 2011-12. The State Librarian recommended against this because LSTA funds appear to be adequate for the time being, and public libraries are experiencing reductions to their Ready to Read grants this year. The Board approved a Ready to Read Grant to the Rainier Public Library based on an appeal of a staff decision to deny them a grant this year. The Board also elected new members to the LSTA and Talking Book and Braille Services Advisory Councils and made an amendment to their bylaws. The next Board meeting will be on February 7th at the State Library in Salem.

BOARD ELECTS NEW COUNCILORS

The Oregon State Library Board of Trustees elected five new members to the Library Services and Technology Act Advisory Council and one new member to the Talking Book and Braille Services Advisory Council at their December 10th meeting. The new members of the LSTA Advisory Council are Paul Adalian from Southern Oregon University, Natasha Forrester from Multnomah County Library, Sharon Smith from Southwest Community College, Jim Hayden from Redmond, and Bruce Kinsch from Pendleton. The Board also elected Elizabeth Della Santina to the Talking Book and Braille Services Advisory Council as the new Patron at Large representative and Kitt Jordan and Leone Holden were reappointed to their positions as Senior Citizen Patron at Large and Parent at Large respectively. The Board also approved an amendment to their bylaws that will allow the LSTA Advisory Council to have 13 members. The Board had already approved other amendments to the LSTA Advisory Council bylaws that reduced the five library user positions to three, and increased the academic and school library representatives to two.

LESS THAN 1% OF SCHOOLS MET QEM LIBRARY GUIDELINES IN 2008-09

The Oregon Quality Education Commission<http://www.ode.state.or.us/search/results/?id=166> seeks to establish, through the Quality Education Model (QEM), an objective and research-based link between student achievement and the resources devoted to Oregon schools as a guide to adequate school funding. Annually the School Library Consultant at the State Library uses data supplied by the Oregon Department of Education<http://www.ode.state.or.us/> to compare how school libraries fared against QEM fully funded guidelines for school library spending and staffing. For the 2008-09 school year, only 10 schools met the minimum criteria - 9 elementary, 1 middle, and no high schools. At the elementary level, criteria included employing at least a .5 FTE licensed school librarian and .5 FTE library support staff while spending $26 or more per student on library books and periodicals; for middle schools it was 1 FTE librarian, 1 FTE support staff and $31 per student; and for high schools it was 1 FTE, 1FTE, and $36. Forty-six schools met QEM guidelines in 2006-07, the school year for the most recent prior report. The results are not surprising since staffing in school libraries has steadily declined for the last three decades. In 1980 there were 818 FTE librarians for 1,284 schools. By 2009 that figure shrank to 319 FTE librarians for 1,297 schools. During that same time period, the number of students served by one librarian increased from 547 to 1,761. A press release about the 2010 QEM report<http://www.oregon.gov/OSL/LD/school/2010QEMreport.pdf> led to several newspaper articles<http://www.oregonlive.com/beaverton/index.ssf/2010/12/sole_beaverton_elementary_school_is_only_one_in_portland_area_to_meet_quality_school_library_criteri.html> and coverage<http://www.kgw.com/video?id=111571474&sec=547977> on the evening news.

PRELIMINARY PUBLIC LIBRARY STATISTICS ON THE WEB

The preliminary 2009-10 public library statistics are on the Web in downloadable Excel format on the Public Library Statistics<http://oregon.gov/OSL/LD/statsploregon.shtml> page. If you need a customized spreadsheet, or have a data correction to report, please contact Ann Reed<mailto:ann.reed at state.or.us>.
P.S. (From the State Librarian)


In October I spent nine amazing days in our sister province of Fujian, China. Fujian is in southern China, on the coast, just across from Taiwan. The State Library has had a sister library agreement with the Fujian Provincial Library since 1989, and since 1998 we have conducted the Horner Library Staff Exchange Program in cooperation with the Provincial Library and in partnership with the OLA International Relations Round Table. To date we have exchanged a total of 25 librarians from Fujian and Oregon. This year we hosted three librarians in April and we sent three librarians to Fujian in October.

In the past I have often been invited to accompany our exchange librarians, but have never been able to go, for one reason or another. This year I was determined to go. I squeezed the trip in between a State Library Board meeting and a state librarians' meeting. I arrived in Fuzhou, the provincial capital, at the same time as the Horner librarians: Brandon Barnett from Multnomah County Library, Nancy Hoover from the Shoen Library at Marylhurst University, and Amy Lee from Fort Vancouver Regional Library (yes, we let a Washingtonian come - she was our very able translator).

The Horner librarians spent three weeks in Fujian. I was just there for the first nine days. After a day in Fuzhou we travelled by train to the rural northwest corner of the province to Wuyishan, where, as luck would have it, the Fujian Library Association was having a conference. Brandon and I made presentations at the conference, which was fun. We did a bit of sightseeing and then it was back on the train to Fuzhou for a few days there to visit libraries and confer with our hosts at the Provincial Library. The last days of my trip were spent in the second largest city in Fujian, Xiamen, which is down the coast from Fuzhou. There we were delighted to be joined for a few days by Deborah Carver and Bob Felsing from the Knight Library at the U of O, along with Deb's husband John.

As it happened, Typhoon Megi<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typhoon_Megi_%282010%29> made landfall just south of Xiamen the day after we arrived. Having not had any experience with a typhoon I was a little apprehensive. But our hosts took it all in stride. Fujian normally experiences typhoons every year. There were torrential rains and strong winds, but nothing more. The Xiamen Public Library didn't even close. We went about our visits as planned.

We kept a blog<http://horner2010.wordpress.com/> of our experiences, and the Horner librarians plan to add more to the blog in the future. They also will be presenting a program at the Oregon Library Association Conference in the spring.

My trip to Fujian was a wonderful experience. Our hosts were so warm and gracious and they worked so hard to plan our time very productively. You cannot fail to be impressed by how rapidly the quality of library service in Fujian is improving. We saw some really fine public and academic libraries. Most of the buildings are new (built in the last two decades) and they are enormous compared to our libraries. And there are even more libraries under construction. I came away convinced that China wants to have the best libraries in the world, and before too long, they may well meet that goal. - Jim Scheppke

Subject: 	[alacro-l] Reminder - Apply by January 24 to host one of three 
traveling exhibitions celebrating great Jewish artists
Date: 	Tue, 4 Jan 2011 12:38:24 -0500
From: 	Don Wood <dwood at ala.org>
To: 	<alacro-l at ala.org>



Public, academic and special libraries, including museum libraries, and 
Jewish community centers are reminded to apply by *January 24* to host 
one of three new traveling exhibits focusing on Jewish artists who have 
contributed to the culture of America and the world through their lives 
and work. More information about the exhibitions, including the online 
application, is available at www.ala.org/jewishartists 
<http://www.ala.org/jewishartists>.

The exhibits were developed by Nextbook, Inc., a nonprofit organization 
dedicated to supporting Jewish literature, culture and ideas, and the 
ALA Public Programs Office, with funding from Nextbook. The national 
exhibit tours have been made possible by grants from the Charles H. 
Revson Foundation, the David Berg Foundation and the Nash Family 
Foundation, with additional support from /Tablet Magazine: A New Read on 
Jewish Life/.

Libraries are invited to apply to host a traveling exhibition on one of 
three subjects:

1. *In a Nutshell: The Worlds of Maurice Sendak
*Based on a major retrospective exhibition created by the Rosenbach 
Museum & Library, Philadelphia, this exhibit reveals the push and pull 
of New and Old Worlds in Sendak?s work and shows how Sendak?s artistic 
journey has led him deeper into his own family?s history and his Jewish 
identity.

2. *Emma Lazarus: Voice of Liberty, Voice of Conscience*
In this exhibit, a vital woman is brought to life in all her fascinating 
complexity. Viewers see Lazarus?s place in history as a poet, an 
activist and a prophet of the world we live in today. The exhibit traces 
her life, intellectual development, work and lasting influence.

3. *A Fine Romance: Jewish Songwriters, American Songs, 1910-1965*
Illustrated with colorful posters from Broadway shows and photographs of 
composers, singers and the casts of hit musicals and films, this exhibit 
highlights the lives and works of Irving Berlin, George and Ira 
Gershwin, Harold Arlen, Jerome Kern and a host of other Jewish 
songwriters who wove the American songbook deep into the fabric of 
American culture.

Successful applicants will host one traveling exhibition for a six-week 
period between April 2011 and February 2012 and receive programming and 
technical support from the ALA Public Programs Office. Participating 
libraries are expected to present at least two free public programs for 
adults on themes related to the exhibitions. All showings of the 
exhibition must be free and open to the public. Each of the exhibits 
requires at least 200 square feet of display space.

More information about the exhibitions, including guidelines and the 
online application, is available at www.ala.org/jewishartists 
<http://www.ala.org/jewishartists>. With questions, contact the ALA 
Public Programs Office at publicprograms at ala.org

Hey Group,

Happy New Year. I wanted to get the word about a new class were offering: The GIS Essentials? Workshop.

This basic one-day workshop is designed to teach essential GIS (Geographic Information System) skills as indicated by a survey of 500 GIS professionals, as well as input from several thousand GIS practitioners. Staff from government agencies, non-profits and universities will find the workshop particularly relevant. Gina Clemmer, author of the book The GIS 20: Essential Skills published by ESRI Press, will teach these workshops.

Audience: Anyone interested in learning the essentials of ArcGIS 10. 
Registration: $595 (Includes registration to class, continental breakfast, lunch and a copy of the book The GIS 20: Essential Skills)
More Info/Registration: http://www.nur-online.com 



GIS Essentials? Workshop - February Tele-Classes

This is a series of tele-classes taught on Mondays and Wednesdays throughout February 2011. Each student uses a toll-free number to phone into class. Student must have ArcGIS 10 setup on their desktop (or a sixty day trial version of the software can be arranged). Class recordings will also be made available for students to review if desired.

Registration Fee: $1,000 (We cover 20 exercises over 16 hours of instruction, meeting for 8 classes, 2 hours each) 
Software: ArcGIS 10 (9.3.1 also available)

+ A copy of The GIS 20: Essential Skills by Gina Clemmer will be provided in class and used as the primary text. The price of the book is included with the price of the registration. The GIS 20 is a focused workbook that demonstrates how to perform the most frequently utilized twenty essential GIS skills. The skills were indicated by 500 GIS practitioners through a survey, as well as through questions, projects and suggestions from 15,000 GIS students over the past decade. This book can be treated as a weekly self-assignment or an as-needed reference making it useful for the professional practitioner, the teacher and student. Each chapter offers clear steps, written in plain language, that illustrate exactly how to complete the presented essential skill exercise. In addition, the book helps beginners and non-native English speakers cut through technical jargon by using everyday language to explain the steps. If you are a GIS beginner, The GIS 20: Essential Skills will help you quickly master the most essential GIS skills in practice today. Not able to attend the workshop? You can still review and purchase the book here http://amzn.com/1589482565.

*PRECONFERENCE: Managing Vendor Relationships (April 6th): *

Panels and speakers will address multiple dimensions of managing
relationships with library vendors. Topics for the day will include building
an understanding of how a software company works and why library vendors
behave as they do; thoughts on how to ?fix? a ?bad? relationship with a
vendor; the pros and cons of participating as a development partner or early
adopter of software; and the evolving vendor marketplace as libraries face
vendor mergers, open-source projects, and actual or perceived monopolies.

*HAPPY HOUR (April 6th):*

ACRL Oregon?s *Happy Hour* is a great time to meet up with old (and new!)
friends while enjoying beverages (+/- alcohol) and nibbling tasty hors
d?oevres! By tradition, *Happy Hour* begins shortly after our Preconference
Session ends ? stay tuned for more details re: time and location.

*CONFERENCE PROGRAMS (April 7-8):*

*Accessing the Third Sector: the information of civil society organizations*

* ?Civil Society? organizations have grown in number and influence, and are
important providers of ?third sector? information on public policy issues.
Most Oregonians have heard of Associated Oregon Industries, OSPIRG, and 1000
Friends of Oregon, but there are hundreds more that are actively involved in
the debates over economic, environmental, educational, health and social
policy questions. Their
information is topical, timely, persuasive, and can be an important primary
source for public policy research. However, libraries have traditionally
paid less attention to the third sector than they have to information
sources in academia and the other two economic sectors: government and
business. This session will explore the characteristics and value of third
sector information, and report how it is being used by undergraduates and
researchers at the University of Oregon. UO Librarians will describe their
experience managing live, web-based information, as well as organizational
archives.

*All Textbooks on Reserve in the Library!*

* Using grant money, in the fall of 2010, Portland Community College Library
tried an experiment at its Cascade Campus Library. It established the goal
of the library having at least one copy of every required text for every
course taught at the campus that fall. The concept was that putting the
texts on reserve might reduce the environmental impact of students buying
books, and it would provide immediate access to the texts for students
waiting for financial aid.

This program will be in two parts- a ?how we did it? and a ?what happened.?
The ?how we did it? will give details on how to manage such a project and
lessons learned, and ?what happened? will present data on changes in
circulation, gate count, and anecdotal evidence from the students.

*Mash-it Up: Cool Tools for Collection Management*

* Data mash-ups (data sources pulled together to create new useful
information) can be developed on either the local library level or by
professional library groups to suit the needs of collection development
librarians. Mash-ups are increasingly easy to produce and can be useful in
working with faculty, informing collection analyses, and providing
additional information during journal cancellation projects. Laurel Kristick
(Oregon State University Libraries) will discuss an OSU project using
Journal Citation Report and SHERPA RoMEO data to facilitate discussions with
faculty to help them make informed decisions on depositing peer-reviewed
journal articles in their ScholarsArchive at OSU. Robin Paynter will discuss
the ACRL EBSS Psychology Committee Task Force project she lead which
developed a new data-rich methodology to create the latest edition of the
Committee?s longstanding publication, Core Psychology Journals.

*Repackage! Repurpose! Aggregate! Leveraging Free Content*

* Attendees will learn how the free online Web Services ResearchRaven and
ScanGrants were constructed using a modest amount of outsourced Web design
help and free Web 2.0 tools (e.g., Twitter, FeedBurner, various social
bookmarking services) and what it takes to keep such services running
vis-?-vis staff time for data entry, quality control and marketing.
Attendees will learn about how to leverage the massive amounts of free
content put out by such entities as foundations, professional societies,
disease advocacy groups, conference organizers, academia (and in coming
years more and more data disgorgement by the federal government) in order to
create free library services that can be shared with patrons, other
libraries and with the broader world.

Ready to make the most of the coming data deluge as the federal government
prepares to release data from across the scientific and public policy
spectrum? Make your library a trendsetter in the development of free online
services and see them adopted by libraries worldwide. Learn from the
developer of ScanGrants and ResearchRaven how you can become your own
startup and take back for libraries some of the space that Silicon Valley
has captured in recent years. Let?s geek together and learn how easy it is
to make cool services that serve the public and advance learning,
scholarship and science.

*They Blinded me with Science: Qualitative Research*

* Go beyond the standard patron survey and implement qualitative research
methods, like focus groups, as collaborative research tools that can result
in rich and nuanced patron data. But don?t stop there. Discover and practice
strategies to quickly move projects from qualitative data gathering through
preliminary data analysis to prioritized project recommendations. Learn to
evaluate project data in terms of the funding and internal or external
collaborations needed to move projects forward.

*Watzek Rocks: Marketing the College Library*

* Interested in better promotion of the Lewis & Clark College library, the
Watzek Library Marketing Team was formed in 2004 to coordinate outreach to
our primary clientele of undergraduates and faculty. Building on the team?s
successes and with the subsequent creation of a librarian position with
focus on library advancement activities, the library?s marketing approach
continues to evolve. Additional constituencies, including staff, alumni and
donors, are included and there is a developing partnership with the
college?s division of institutional advancement. This session will discuss
Watzek Library?s marketing successes and learning experiences and showcase
our promotional materials.

INVITATION TO BID ON ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES
FOR THE
COLLABORATIVE SUMMER LIBRARY PROGRAM

The Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP) is a grassroots non-profit consortium of public libraries in forty-nine states working together to provide high-quality summer reading program materials for children, teens, and adults at low cost. The collaborative is made up of dues-paying member states and territories.

CSLP is taking bids on an administrative services contract, June 1, 2011 through May 31, 2012 with a two-year extension based on satisfactory performance, if the annual evaluation indicates adequate levels of service have been provided, and both parties are interested in renewing the contract.  The collaborative fiscal year runs June through May. The Administrative Services Agent will provide financial management, communication, clerical, and other related services, as well as office space for CSLP.


CSLP contracts and works closely with a Vendor to design and produce the support materials for the annual summer reading program theme.  These materials include poster artwork for children, teens, and adults.  Other materials include mobiles, banners, bulletin board items, bookmarks, bags, pencils, and numerous incentive items.  Several committees work with the Vendor on various aspects of the program.  The Vendor manages sales of these items. The Vendor also hires writers and an editor who create manuals for CSLP with the assistance of CSLP committees.  The Vendor provides the layout and design of the manuals, however the CSLP Administrative Services Agent works with the manual committees to coordinate the printing of these manuals and their distribution to a central location in each of the member states or territories.

A CSLP committee also works with a producer to create a television public service announcement (PSA) and radio spots.  The Administrative Services Agent may be asked to assist with the duplication and distribution of the PSAs.  The CSLP web page is a primary source of information for members and is maintained by a contracted web master under the direction of a committee.

All bids must include the completed bid response form. The Administrative Services Agent Review Committee reserves the right to reject any or all bids.

After determining that a bid response satisfies the mandatory requirements stated in the Request for Proposal, the Review Committee shall use both objective and subjective means to conduct a comparative assessment of the bid responses and, in its sole discretion, will award the bid.

Cost
The objective evaluation of cost shall be based upon the prices stated on the Pricing Page.

Experience and Expertise
Experience and reliability of the bidder's organization or agency are considered subjectively in the evaluation process.  Therefore, the bidder is advised to submit any information that documents successful and reliable experience with past or current clients.

Facilities
The ability of the bidder to provide the necessary office equipment and facilities needed for administration of the CSLP business will be considered objectively based on the information provided on the Bid Response Form.

After an initial screening process, a telephone conference may be conducted with the bidder, if deemed necessary by the Administrative Services Agent Review Committee.

All bids must be typed and may be submitted electronically.

All bids must be returned to Sue Sherif no later than Monday, February 14, 2011 at:

Alaska State Library                                                           OR

Hello,



As you may know, Portland Community College Library (PCC) received LSTA funding last year to do a needs assessment of the continuing education needs for Oregon library personnel.  The study focused on all library types and all staffing levels in Oregon.  Ruth Metz of Ruth Metz Associates managed the project working with six regional consultants - Althea Bonebrake, Connie Christopher, Pam North, Wyma Rogers, Timothy Smith, and Cessa Vichi.  Roberta Richards from PCC was also involved in the project.



Attached please find the report from the study.  It includes a summary, findings from the needs assessment, a proposed model and business plan, and proposed next steps.  Please take time to review the findings and let me know if you have comments or suggestions.  This is the beginning of the dissemination process and we are in the early stages of planning next steps.



I want to thank the State Library for supporting this effort, Ruth Metz and her team for their excellent work and those of you who participated in the needs analysis.  Please feel free to share the study widely.



Sincerely,


Donna Reed

Subject: [Libs-Or] L-net training in Eugene
Message-ID: <AANLkTimrpF8FAaAFMMzd_SH4ns2zJ9adDNRs4_UEx0Wy@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

Introductory training on L-net, Oregon's Statewide Virtual Reference
Service, is scheduled for:

Wednesday, February 9, 9:00 - 4:30
Eugene Public Library
100 West 10th Ave.
Eugene, Oregon 97401

The training is for librarians who plan to take shifts staffing L-net's
chat, texting, and e-mail reference service.  Librarians will receive
training on L-net's software, and instruction on techniques for
communicating effectively online with patrons and providing reference
services online.

There are two ways to get involved with staffing L-net:

1 - Partner libraries: Reference staff at Oregon libraries may staff the
service as partner libraries.  Librarians at partner libraries staff the
service at their libraries.

2 - Volunteers: If you have reference experience, you may apply to be a
volunteer.  Volunteers typically staff the service from home computers.  If
you would like to participate in the volunteer program, contact me for
information about how to apply to be a volunteer.

The training is free, but space is limited and advance registration is
required.  If you would like to attend, contact me and let me know if you
would like to staff L-net at a partner library or as a volunteer.

Emily Papagni, emilyp at multcolib.org

Registration for this training will close on Sunday, February 6.

If you're interested in the training, but unable to attend on this date,
please contact me.  I'm continuing to schedule additional trainings around
the state.

Emily

Welcome to the January TechSoup for Libraries<http://tsg.convio.net/site/R?i=UQjWKOm5dc6AVtY95dno8w..> newsletter! This month we have a TechSoup Product Spotlight, news about TechSoup's Digital Storytelling Event 2011, upcoming webinars, our new blog series - The Accidental Technology Trainer, new BTOP resources, and a new survey. You received this email because you participated in a webinar, contributed content, ordered products, or were interested in resources from TechSoup.

TechSoup Product Spotlight: BetterWorld Telecom<http://tsg.convio.net/site/R?i=d0U7HoobXYG6dCWLp0Plmw..>[Image removed by sender. better world logo]

TechSoup's first discounted phone system package is available from BetterWorld Telecom, a green company. The discount package includes Cisco Voice over IP phones, hosted Voice over IP, and virtual PBX phone service for an admin fee of $10, plus discounted rates for phone service and Internet connection, if needed. It's a complete "unified communications" office phone system. For example, voicemails and faxes can be received as email messages, and users can place or receive office calls remotely through any phone or through a web interface.

The BetterWorld offering is a GreenTech product because it allows employees or volunteers to efficiently work remotely, therefore reducing travel, office space, and hardware requirements and minimizing environmental impacts. For more on unified communications, read Elliot Harmon's article, Unified Communications for Nonprofits<http://tsg.convio.net/site/R?i=R22U_P5S9KhWmP2Gh2u9fA..> and watch a recorded webinar<http://tsg.convio.net/site/R?i=Y6-CHaFZ0g-J3FSiEvlqTw..> with BetterWorld's Matt Bauer on how unified communications can save money and spare the environment.

Products are available to all public libraries that are listed in the IMLS database<http://tsg.convio.net/site/R?i=kaztqvqt0UoRWJelg9QDUg..> and/or have a valid 501(c)(3) nonprofit status and to nonprofits with a 501(c)(3) designation.

Free TechSoup Webinars [Image removed by sender. TStalks-banner.gif]
How to Tell Your Digital Story<http://tsg.convio.net/site/R?i=8mAF8F8ZIn0ZjE84yfZUAw..>

Thursday, January 13, 2011, 11:00 a.m. Pacific (Noon Mountain / 1pm Central / 2 pm Eastern)

Does your library or nonprofit have a story that you'd like to share? Are you working with people who could benefit from having their voice heard? Attend this free webinar and learn about the elements of creating a compelling story.

Michael Margolis from GetStoried<http://tsg.convio.net/site/R?i=6aJG6g7JhQu9IrT3xb9JMA..> and Rob Kershaw from Center for Digital Storytelling<http://tsg.convio.net/site/R?i=c-ot5YIugMn8EyjA9YAw2A..> will provide information to help you understand how to tell digital stories effectively and how stories can make an impact. These experts will share how they produce fun, informative, authentic visual content to spread the word about their programs, cultivate donors, and activate their community.

Our New Blog Series: The Accidental Technology Trainer

[Image removed by sender. tagcloud]During the last few months, we showcased a blog series on our website, Successful Grants in One Hour a Week<http://tsg.convio.net/site/R?i=i_No-0HHAwXKBgJm_b2UHg..>. Through weekly blog posts, we outlined easy steps to learn the entire grant process.

This year, we are going to start off by focusing on technology training. Many libraries and nonprofits are telling us that technology training is a major community need, and sometimes there are struggles in providing this service. Many of us find ourselves in a trainer role accidentally, whether providing workshops in computer labs, classrooms, or one-on-one with users or staff.

Stephanie Gerding<http://tsg.convio.net/site/R?i=i_3sTfkhRwxst2M8VzH8yA..>, author of The Accidental Technology Trainer<http://tsg.convio.net/site/R?i=IzWcCi-bEi_ohKMPtqylFw..>, will share training tools and techniques, solutions to the most common concerns of technology trainers, and helpful advice from many years of coordinating and providing training. You'll discover why learning styles are important, how to create an interactive learning community, write and share a lesson plan, and use activities to increase learning and retention. In February we will wrap up the series with a free webinar.

New BTOP Resources: Stories from the Field and Discussion Group

TechSoup, with support from the Surdna Foundation<http://tsg.convio.net/site/R?i=6LsXzLLDhejemtuchdrSWQ..>, has been researching the needs of nonprofits and libraries<http://tsg.convio.net/site/R?i=Np16WJCaqBu-eGKa12hbIg..> who received Broadband Technologies Opportunities Program (BTOP) grants, to help them succeed in grant implementation and sustainable development. Our newest resource, Broadband: Stories from the Field<http://tsg.convio.net/site/R?i=TF7r2T7cCRMvjK9CXVic3A..> previews what we've been working on. Read how BTOP grantees around the country are thriving and find many valuable tips for your work.

Nearly everyone we've spoken with has expressed a need to connect and share ideas with other grantees. Many of you said that your greatest "aha" moments came when you were able to discuss ideas and experiences with organizations and public libraries working on similar projects. In response to your needs, we created an online group where folks engaged in broadband projects can share and learn. As the discussion grows, we'll be adding your ideas and insights to the information hub. Together, we can build a great body of knowledge and resources. Please take a moment to visit and join our new Google group<http://tsg.convio.net/site/R?i=TXUHXQB1Igx0vVZlcjXMsg..>.

[Image removed by sender. winner]Monthly Survey

This month, we'd like you to share job descriptions with us, specifically for trainers. Please complete this survey<http://tsg.convio.net/site/R?i=kpZQdDpLK95XL7LuzWAdjg..>, and we'll enter your name in a monthly prize drawing. This month's winner, selected by Sarah's daughter, is Mary Cresson from the Denton Public Library<http://tsg.convio.net/site/R?i=bCD64RRpOIWgeGaCDPtsrA..> in Denton, Texas.

Happy New Year!

Not everyone is a fan of setting resolutions. However, the beginning of a new year is always a great time to reflect on what we learned during the previous year and review the successes we've achieved. If you find yourself thinking along these lines, take a few minutes to share your technology success stories with us<http://tsg.convio.net/site/R?i=fdXSpJ-PG-wSEOAGBMWcIw..>, so we can help others learn from your experience. Don't forget that what might be "that's nothing" to you may be an "aha!" to someone else!

Any stories or insights into how to purchase library furniture?  How to
choose a particular brand and style that meets the needs of the library
and still do so while meeting state contracting law, in particular?  If
we like the tables from one manufacturer, and they are built to order,
finding three price quotes isn't really possible...

 

Thanks!

From reading at librifoundation.org  Mon Jan 10 15:27:31 2011
From: reading at librifoundation.org (The Libri Foundation)
Date: Mon, 10 Jan 2011 15:27:31 -0800
Subject: [Libs-Or] Grant Opportunity for Rural Public Libraries
Message-ID: <4D2B95E3.6080107@librifoundation.org>

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

January 2011

The Libri Foundation is currently accepting applications for its 2011
BOOKS FOR CHILDREN grants.

The Libri Foundation is a nationwide non-profit organization which
donates new, quality, hardcover children's books to small, rural public
libraries throughout the United States.  Since October 1990, the
Foundation has donated over $4,600,000 worth of new children's books to
more than 3,000 libraries in 49 states, including Alaska and Hawaii.

In order to encourage and reward local support of libraries, The Libri
Foundation will match any amount of money raised by your local sponsors
from $50 to $350 on a 2-to-1 ratio.  Thus, a library can receive up to
$1,050 worth of new children's books.  After a library receives a grant,
local sponsors (such as formal or informal Friends groups, civic or
social organizations, local businesses, etc.) have four months, or
longer if necessary, to raise their matching funds.

The librarian of each participating library selects the books her
library will receive from a booklist provided by the Foundation.  The
700-plus fiction and nonfiction titles on the booklist reflect the very
best of children's literature published primarily in the last three
years. These titles, which are for children ages 12 and under, are
award-winners or have received starred reviews in library, literary, or
education journals.  The booklist also includes a selection of classic
children's titles.

Libraries are qualified on an individual basis.  In general, county
libraries should serve a population under 16,000 and town libraries
should serve a population under 10,000 (usually under 5,000).  Libraries
should be in a rural area, have a limited operating budget, and an
active children's department.

Please note:  Rural is usually considered to be at least 30 miles from a
city with a population over 40,000.  Town libraries with total operating
budgets over $150,000 and county libraries with total operating budgets
over $350,000 are rarely given grants.

Applications are accepted from independent libraries as well as
libraries which are part of a county, regional, or cooperative library
system.

A school library may apply only if it also serves as the public library
(i.e. it is open to the everyone in the community, has some summer
hours, and there is no public library in town).

A branch library may apply if the community it is in meets the
definition of rural.  If the branch library receives its funding from
its parent institution, then the parent institution's total operating
budget, not just the branch library's total operating budget, must meet
the budget guidelines.

Previous BOOKS FOR CHILDREN grant recipients are eligible to apply for
another grant three years after the receipt of their last grant.
Libraries that do not fulfill all grant requirements, including the
final report, may not apply for another grant.

Application deadlines for 2011 are: (postmarked by) January 23rd, and
April 15th.  Grants are awarded January 31st and April 30th.

The names of grant recipients will be posted on the Foundation's website
a few days after grants are awarded. Acceptance packets are usually
mailed 14-18 days after grants are awarded.

If you want your books in time for your summer reading program, please
apply for a January grant. April grant recipients may not receive their
books until after most summer reading programs begin.

Please DO NOT waste money sending your application by Express Mail. The
application deadline is based on postmark date, not arrival date.

Application guidelines and forms may be downloaded from the Foundation's
website at:  www.librifoundation.org.

For more information about The Libri Foundation or its Books for
Children program, please contact Ms. Barbara J. McKillip, President, The
Libri Foundation, PO Box 10246, Eugene, OR  97440.  541-747-9655

office hours are:  Monday-Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Pacific Time.

Unfortunately I was looking at last year's deadline when I sent out that
email last week
Fortunately this year's deadline is a little later- January 28.
Thank you to those spurred by my error to nominate someone, and I apologize.
And thank you Katie Anderson for noticing.

Does anyone else see the irony that a major center on ethics is not willing to hire
someone to set up a library?

(please direct all questions to the contact person below)

Providence Center for Health Care Ethics in Portland is looking for a volunteer
librarian to organize a modest sized library (approximately 225 books), and
ethics-related periodicals and videos.   This is a great opportunity for a library
science student who may need a project or a retired librarian who would like to
offer his or her skills.  Please contact Satya Jaech at satya.jaech at providence.org

Dear Colleagues,

I???ve long believed that authors are natural allies of libraries. Especially in these challenging times, they understand the key role that libraries and library staff play in the economic, social and educational fabric of our nation. They can speak passionately on the importance of not only sustaining, but increasing support for libraries. My presidential initiative, Our Authors, Our Advocates: Authors Speak Out for Libraries, is a new campaign that enlists America???s authors to become articulate and powerful spokespeople for libraries.

Please help fuel the national dialogue on America???s libraries. Spread the word. These public services announcements are available for placement on your library???s website and for sharing with your library???s advocates.

Our Authors, Our Advocates just launched at the ALA Midwinter Meeting. Stay tuned for more to come throughout the year. Visit www.ourauthorsouradvocates.org<http://maildogmanager.com/link.html?url=3467&client=ala1&campaign=916&email=jennifer.maurer at state.or.us>.

Thank you,

Roberta Stevens

Rather than preying on desperate library school students, Providence should
hire a librarian, experienced in starting a library from scratch.  The paid
librarian could then recruit an intern (preferably paid and/or offered
credit) to assist.

Since when is it "professional" for a librarian not to have a public opinion
on the de-professionalization of librarianship?

Hmm, I actually pondered this for a while before finally deciding to post here (deciding if indeed I might look good covered in tomatoes):

On the one hand, I *wished* for something like this when I was starting out. College provided only the disjointed big picture.  I desired the process, the detail.    As someone who loves organization/organizing/creating, I continue to give and volunteer of myself in these areas as my time permits. Volunteering makes me feel good, I meet new people, gain valuable knowledge, and generally have a good time as there is less pressure (no office politics, more flexible schedule, no evaluations, etc). Volunteering allows us to shift from "it's all about me" to recognizing everything and everyone else out there that is struggling too, including businesses.

Yet, I am painfully aware that the bottom line drives everything in business....and a library *is* a business and as a business we have to think of ways to continue to spend responsibly and within our means.  Bartering has been and always will be an accepted mechanism to get what we want. In spite of the economy today, there are still folks that love to give of their time and talents and there will continue to be businesses that desire those folks.    

I think this is a prime example of  "the glass is half full/half empty" syndrome and I see nothing wrong with their posting this opportunity.   I also see nothing wrong with a little spirited discussion.  


...one moment while I take my position on the stage....yes, okay, I'm ready for the lobbing of delicious, red ripe fruit.   After all, red is a power color and I make one darn tasty salsa!

I think the discussion is useful, as well. No tomatoes! Discusssing the library
profession is one thing within the confines of a conference or private meeting. But,
we also have to put this issue "out there".
 
I have three comments on what you have said:
1. From my experience many times non-professionals think that a "library" situation
is very simple when it is more complex.  Unless someone with a professional eye has
evaluated the situation I would not put complete faith in what the original poster
assumes is needed.
 
2. It's one thing to volunteer for a small non-profit with no funds, quite another
an organization such as this. Assuming their professionally designed website is a
reflection of the institution, I would doubt that Providence must barter for what
they are asking. 
 
3. Please see this article from the Oregonian last May:

"The insidious rise in unpaid internships can run afoul of federal guidelines"

Without background knowledge of the center and its funding, besides what you find on
the web, it would be far more professional for you to let well enough alone. I know
many of the library students in the area are interested in additional work
experience on their resume and this could be a great opportunity for them.

I've also given this discussion some thought. With some mulling over, I have
a few responses from the perspective of a recent grad and new professional:

1) I like to go by the philosophy of it always being OK to ask. The worst
that can happen is that you are turned down (or reprimanded via e-mail
discussion list?). The best that could happen is someone qualified thinks it
is an interesting project and would like to join in.

2) The initial message did not mention any support or guidance given to the
volunteer. My gut response to this is that the project may not be
appropriate for a current MLS student or recent grad. The reality is that
most current MLS students and recent grads do not have the practical skill
set to organize even a collection of 225 books in a worthwhile way without
significant guidance. This could easily turn into a huge waste of time for
the volunteer and a useless product for the organization.

3) Internships on the cheap are broadly accepted in the business world, I do
not see anything different with this situation. This could be a potentially
very valuable unpaid project for a student if there is a qualified person to
lend some experience and guidance to give them real value from the
experience. Even better, they could get credit toward their MLS for it, if
guided and supervised. The local Emporia program has an optional practicum
component that would fall along these lines.

Subject: [Libs-Or] Volunteer Opportunity
Message-ID: <911570.37995.qm@web59414.mail.ac4.yahoo.com>

This has been an interesting discussion and I wanted to chime in. 

I'm a student in Emporia State's Portland cohort. I'm working to build up my professional experiences in regards to librarianship. In November started working at a regional library system, where I live in Western Washington, as a public services assistant-tech. Previously, I was a daily newspaper reporter.? 


I don't think it's unprofessional to have a discussion about library issues, provided it's 
respectful. Discussion inform us as to both sides of the issues. Even when we 
disagree, we can learn. 

I have really enjoyed this discussion and think it is an important one to have. I also appreciate the tone that everyone has been using.

Regarding volunteer opportunities and internships, a lot depends on the organization where the intern is working and the school or professor who is supervising the intern. It also depends on the volunteer's motivations. 

I personally have a problem with a business making a decent profit, claiming that they can't afford to pay interns. It's not about affordability, it's about choices in how money is spent. Obviously, finances are different for public libraries, many nonprofit organizations, and even for some special libraries within profitable businesses. 

I think for an internship or a volunteer opportunity to be successful for both the volunteer/college student and the organization, the organization needs to have a well-thought out program. 

Likewise, the college should have strict guidelines of what is acceptable for interns and similar positions. (Emporia State's and University of British Columbia's library science programs are among many good examples of this.) The best results occur when both the organization and the university are on the ball. The college also needs to communicate these requirements to students. 

Even if an organization doesn't have an internship or volunteer program, for a project of there should be at least a written agreement between the organization and the volunteer (or college and student) regarding what is expected, time commitment, how to resolve conflicts, etc. 

As someone who wants to build her skills and experiences, I welcome volunteer opportunities that will allow me to do that. I also seek them. However, I'm picky. I don't want to be thrown into the deep end of the pool to sink or swim, like the Providence Center volunteer job would do, I want to work on projects with people where I can develop my skills. For instance, assisting the person who is setting up the collection would be a better student job. 

To me, setting up a library seems to be more more appropriate for a contract employee, not a student intern. As another poster said, this will require a lot of professional expertise. I also think it may need a mini-community analysis to ensure that the organization's needs are met. 

That said, there are people in my cohort who have the experience to do this job because they were library or archival professionals prior to seeking their master's. 

I feel that internships opportunities at nonprofits and businesses need to follow federal and state labor laws. For instance, The Oregonian story cited at sixth-month, 520-hour internship at Seattle Magazine, which seems excessive. As a journalist and a library student, the internships I've seen range from around 120 to 240 hours. 

Here's some links that address internships and the labor laws; however, they are not specific to Oregon, Washington, or libraries, or nonprofits:

- NY Times story on the issue: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/03/business/03intern.html?_r=1

- U.S. Dept. of Labor site: http://www.dol.gov/whd/regs/compliance/whdfs71.pdf

- Blog post from a California law firm specializing in employment issues: http://laborlaw.typepad.com/labor_and_employment_law_/2007/11/unpaid-internsh.html

Marta Murvosh

I think the discussion is useful, as well. No tomatoes! Discusssing 
the library profession is one thing within the confines of a conference or 
private meeting. But, we also have to put this issue "out 
there".
?
I have three comments on what you have said:
1. From my experience many times non-professionals think that a "library" 
situation is very simple when it is more complex.? Unless someone with a 
professional eye has evaluated the situation I would not put complete faith in 
what the original poster assumes is needed.
?
2. It's one thing to volunteer for a small non-profit 
with no funds, quite another an organization such as this. Assuming their 
professionally designed website is a reflection of the institution, I would 
doubt that Providence must barter for what they are asking. 

?
3. Please see 
this article from the Oregonian last May:

"The insidious rise in unpaid 
internships can run afoul of federal guidelines"

Subject: [Libs-Or] Comments from a medical librarian on the brouhaha over
 the volunteer opportunity
Message-ID: <C3856CCA4628274CA829572D9CE181E92B9B84211D@SHSMAILVI02.int.samhealth.net>

Hi, all. I have been following the discussion about the volunteer opportunity and I would be interested to see if any medical librarians have any comment on the matter, given that it is a health science-related library that is under discussion.

As someone who had the privilege of working under a very skilled medical librarian and as a recent library school graduate (University of Pittsburgh, 2009), I can say there is a world of difference between the skill level of an experienced medical librarian and a library school student and that not knowing that difference is a grave error in judgment for someone trying to set up a health sciences library, however small. I second Michael Baird on his comments, ?The reality is that most current MLS students and recent grads do not have the practical skill set to organize even a collection of 225 books in a worthwhile way without significant guidance. This could easily turn into a huge waste of time for the volunteer and a useless product for the organization.?

Also, I would not necessarily agree with Kendra Schwindt here, " a library *is* a business." Actually, most health sciences libraries are housed in nonprofit settings (e.g., hospitals, medical schools) and so are not businesses but are a public service to healthcare providers and the often uninsured, afflicted people they help.

Finally, I am not clear who wrote, "Dear Alan and Donna,
I'm very disappointed with your public condemnation of this posting.
Without background knowledge of the center and its funding, besides what you find on the web, it would be far more professional for you to let well enough alone. I know many of the library students in the area are interested in additional work experience on their resume and this could be a great opportunity for them."

But I can only commend Donna L. Cohen and Alan Cordle for their courage in bringing this matter up and generating this edifying and (for the most part) collegial discussion. Please do not be deterred, Donna and Alan, from expressing your views. Nothing you said struck me as out of bond in either tone or subject matter.

Message-ID: <7D2FE1060D38094498CFF32995248FFA18E8BA396A@CCRMAILBOX.cbs.state.or.us>

In this discussion of volunteer opportunities in libraries I think it is important to consider the following points.  I've given this topic some thought from my perspective as a librarian of 25 years' experience, a library volunteer, and a volunteer coordinator at a non-profit.

It is too easy for non-profits and government agencies to think "library" and immediately think "volunteer."  Ask yourself, would a healthcare facility recruit a volunteer nurse to fill a key position? Would a municipality recruit for a volunteer city attorney?   Probably not. In fact there are legal or other bureaucratic agreements in place that prevent the selection of anyone but a paid and certified professional.  Why should libraries and librarians be any different?

As a former volunteer coordinator, I recognize how fluid these arrangements can be.  Many, many volunteers are as steady as the tides but let's face it, the fluidity of volunteering is one of its main attractions.  Its very structure allows for changes in time commitments, lengthy vacations, and simply "dropping out" when interest wanes.  Is it wise to assign a key assignment (such as setting up a new library) to a volunteer?

Speaking from a library volunteer's point of view, it is essential to clearly understand the host organization's perception of volunteers. For example, I once volunteered numerous hours to set up a non-profit's library only to be replaced by a major donor's family member who wanted the assignment - and no, she wasn't a librarian.

In short, if it is important enough  to have a library --  it is important enough to have a paid, experienced/educated librarian.

PS:  Internships are fabulous but by their very nature are a mentor-apprentice relationship.  As others involved in this discussion have noted, the job of setting up a new library may not be an appropriate task for an intern or library school student.

I haven't given this much thought, but my gut reaction is that unless I'm
really missing something, hiring a professional librarian to organize a
collection of 225 books, a few periodicals, and a handful of videos is like
calling the fire department to help plan a candlelight supper.

The overhead of even taking the first volunteer that walks through the door
is likely to exceed the labor that should be expended on this project,
though it could be a good way to get people more involved with the
organization.

A librarian could physically arrange the materials according to some logical
criteria, add consistent metadata, provide a good access mechanism, etc, but
any user would have to be some kind of loon not to just walk to the
collection and just browse it as that could be done in a few seconds even if
everything is in random order. It's hard to imagine how it wouldn't take
longer for users to deal with even a good organizational scheme than to
simply go to the stuff.

I am somehow reminded of a place I lived in years ago where we would be
fined if we got caught changing a lightbulb (required procedure was to fill
out a work order so a union electrician could do the job). That kind of
situation is bad for everyone. It's a total waste of skilled labor, and the
schmucks who have to pay an arm and a leg to be forced to wait too long in
the dark start wondering what the pros really have to contribute.

Happy Thursday to all, and as you've undoubtedly surmised, I'm representing
only my own views ;)

Apples and oranges, Kyle.  Changing a light bulb should not require an electrician, unless it's a very specialized and expensive light bulb.  But...

The initial creation of a tiny library is like planting a seed.  If it's done well, a great library can grow from the those 225 items.  If it's not done well, either (a) a poorly organized, perhaps unusable library will develop, or (b) someone who knows what he or she is doing will have to undo it and start all over again.  As the old saying goes,

If you don't have time (or staffing) to do it right, when will you have time (or staffing) to do it over?

This was an interesting discussion.  I learned from it.  I have my opinion also - that this internship offer was either described incompletely, or was poorly planned by someone who didn't understand all that was required to reach the goal stated.

Entering into any intern or volunteer situation must be considered from every perspective possible, and this one was.

Thanks to all who participated.

On the other hand, it's very refreshing to see a lively and well-argued debate on libs-or, about an important issue.  I am not sure there's any reason to shut that down.

Why do librarians LOVE to shut down discussions?

 

A professional list is THE place for librarians do discuss aspects of the
profession that impact both organizations and students.

 

Don't live up to the stodgy, inflexible stereotype.

 

IMO the close-mindedness and an unwillingness to discuss change and issues
within libraries and their relationship to their communities is THE problem
with libraries.

I do agree that we don't know the specifics of this situation and I'm sure we've all been part of something similar (or at least something that would cause debate amongst our peers).

However, as a special librarian, I've been very excited and thankful for the discussion that has been going on. It has both introduced different points of view that I hadn't considered and in a general manner highlighted some of the complexities that we all face, particularly special librarians.

How do we balance the ideals of our profession (always hire a professional librarian) with the realities of the organizations we work in (being happy that they are having a library at all and not asking facilities to manage a book-shelf)??? I struggle with this EVERY DAY.

Perhaps the fact that there is some disagreement amongst us on when a professional is needed (as well as what exactly makes us professional) is part of the problem? Not that we have to - or will ever - always agree. I just think if we could somehow channel all of the energy spent on this issue and put it towards furthering the understanding of the technical prowess of librarians, there would never be a doubt as to the importance of hiring a professional librarian.

How to make that happen is the question though!

Apples and oranges, Kyle.  Changing a light bulb should not require an electrician, unless it's a very specialized and expensive light bulb.  But...

The initial creation of a tiny library is like planting a seed.  If it's done well, a great library can grow from the those 225 items.  If it's not done well, either (a) a poorly organized, perhaps unusable library will develop, or (b) someone who knows what he or she is doing will have to undo it and start all over again.  As the old saying goes,

If you don't have time (or staffing) to do it right, when will you have time (or staffing) to do it over?

The overhead of even taking the first volunteer that walks through the door is likely to exceed the labor that should be expended on this project, though it could be a good way to get people more involved with the organization.

A librarian could physically arrange the materials according to some logical criteria, add consistent metadata, provide a good access mechanism, etc, but any user would have to be some kind of loon not to just walk to the collection and just browse it as that could be done in a few seconds even if everything is in random order. It's hard to imagine how it wouldn't take longer for users to deal with even a good organizational scheme than to simply go to the stuff.

I am somehow reminded of a place I lived in years ago where we would be fined if we got caught changing a lightbulb (required procedure was to fill out a work order so a union electrician could do the job).

Subject: [Libs-Or] Regarding the controversial internship
Message-ID: <4D3045E40200008A00041982@oldyeller.emporia.edu>

This is the first thing that I have read on Libs-Or that has really engaged my attention. At first I was not really sure what the issues were, and only lazily scanned the discussion. But now I feel much clearer about the situation, and thank all of you who have participated and contributed to my understanding. As a library student I might have jumped at such an opportunity, but since I live in Ashland almost all of these opportunities don't apply to me.

The fact that there is no mentor in this internship is certainly an important point. Furthermore, it being a medical library adds a layer of complexity onto the situation. Saying that hiring a librarian for this job would be akin to calling the fire dept. to change a light bulb is pretty ridiculous, I think. In fact, after hearing how hard it is for MLS graduates to find work, I would think many of them would jump at the opportunity to make some money and put something on their resume. Considering that it's a small job, the expense would not be huge. And I agree that planting the seed of a new library is a delicate job. I believe this because just shelving books as a student has shown that careless students before me can make a mess of this job and its no wonder people so often can't find the books that they are looking for.

Thanks again, and please do not refrain from engaging in a spirited debate in the future. It certainly livens up my day...

Webinar Title: Free Content for Library Collections

Speaker: Michael Galloway and John Mark Ockerbloom
Cost: Free to Library Staff of Oregon Libraries
Date: Friday, February 4, 2011

Description:
The Internet offers a treasure trove of free resources that can greatly expand the range of information and services that libraries can offer their patrons.  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. Visit http://www.dupagepress.com/library-learning-network/ for additional information or contact Cathy Russo from College of DuPage directly at teleconference at cod.edu or 1-800-354-6587.

Message-ID: <C88E49F2060F504C96A2B582A86E06CA1B0F9C2D@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local>

There has been some confusion about conference hotel rates and reservations for the OLA conference to be held in Salem April 6-8. The OLA contract with the hotel is for the following rates:
Single (one person, not beds)    Double (two people, not number of  beds)
$115                                                       $125
Additional people are $20 each/per night

The best way to make your reservations online is to go to:
https://reservations.ihotelier.com/crs/g_reservation.cfm?groupID=506182&hotelID=13141  it is exclusively for OLA conference hotel registrations.

I apologize for the confusion and please let me know if you have other concerns or questions.

Subject: [Libs-Or] Amelia Bloomer Project list for 2011
Message-ID: <AANLkTikmbfb8Bf73xRu22+GrJVOtHmSySA5EORv2=Xc_@mail.gmail.com>

The Amelia Bloomer Project list for 2011 is now available in several
places,  It can be found at http://libr.org/ftf/bloomer.html,
http://ftfinfo.wikispaces.com/Amelia+Bloomer+List+2011 and
http://ameliabloomer.wordpress.com/.

-------------------------------------------------------


The Amelia Bloomer Project, a product of the ALA Social Responsibilities
Round Table?s (SRRT) Feminist Taskforce, announced the 2011 Amelia Bloomer
List at ALA?s Midwinter Meeting in San Diego.

The bibliography consists of well-written and illustrated books with
significant feminist content, intended for young readers from birth to 18
years old. *This year?s list includes 68 titles published between July 1,
2009 and December 31, 2010. *

Named for Amelia Bloomer, a pioneering 19th century newspaper editor,
feminist thinker, public speaker, and suffragist, the list notes books about
girls and women that spur the imagination while confronting traditional
female stereotypes.
The bibliography is intended to aid children and teens in selecting
high-quality books released over the past 18 months and may be used for a
recommended reading list for youth and those who interact with them and as a
collection development or reader?s advisory tool for interested librarians.

Subject: [Libs-Or] Children's books needed for OLA's day at the
 Legislature (February 7)

Sara tells me that she has only received 4 books so far and we need about
100 books.  So, if you have any children's books from book review groups or
committees that you aren't adding to your collections we hope that you can
donate them to us for the Oregon Library Association's Legislative Day at
the Oregon State Capital.  If you accidentally got several copies of a
children's book when you only needed one you could donate it to this cause.


We hope to get most of the books sent to Katie Anderson by February 1 but if
you can't do that but can bring them to Legislative Day on February 7 just
let us know so we have a better idea how many books we will have available.

Our display of children's books and providing the opportunity for
Legislators to have a book sent to a library in their district makes the
Oregon Library Association's Legislative Day very different from the
hundreds of other groups that visit Legislators.

Your help really is needed and appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi, all. I would just like to draw your attention to a fascinating report co-authored by Paul Courant and Oregon's own Matthew "Buzzy" Nielsen of the North Bend Public Library in the volume, "The Idea of Order: Transforming Research Collections for 21st Century Scholarship." The article in question is entitled, "On the Cost of Keeping a Book." The PDF of the entire volume can be downloaded for free here:

https://www.clir.org/pubs/abstract/pub147abst.html

The report is a must-read review and primer on what exactly is entailed vis-a-vis cost of storage, labor, time, etc. in maintaining print collections. I found this sentence, for instance, quite interesting, "...print books (hereafter referred to as pbooks when it is important
to distinguish them from electronic books, or ebooks)."

Thank you, Buzzy, for setting such a sterling example of edifying, impressively documented, timely scholarship. Recommended reading for anyone who needs data on the actual costs incurred in library operations and would like to gain a grasp of the whole e-book versus print debate.

Wouldn't ya know the invented new word would be unpronounceable. Strictly a print word, not a spoken word.

Gonna have to change it if it's something we're going to ask patrons. "Are you looking for that as pbook or an e-book?"

Unless we just start submitting notes to them. But they still say, "What is a pbook? It says right here 'Are you looking for a pbook?' What is a pbook?" (Reminds me of the "gub" gag in Woody Allen's Take the Money and Run. Arguing with Allen as bank robber who's submitted the teller a note, the teller and others are telling him, "No, it says right here, 'I have a gub.' What is a gub?"

A pbook? Or is it a silent "p", as in pneumonia? What's the rule on "p before b"?

Okay, bringing back my undergraduate linguistics days...which were a
while ago, and the ten minutes of international phonetic alphabet
review I just did isn't really so much, so bear with me. :)

Going by typical English spelling usage, it would probably be
"pee-book," like "gee-mail." (I can already hear the kids giggling.)
If we take it as a word actually to be pronounced as spelled, a native
English speaker would probably come out with something like
"puh-BOOK."

Phonologically, technically /p/ is a bilabial voiceless consonant and
/b/ is a bilabial voiced consonant. It is possible for consonants to
have two simultaneous points of articulation, as in the single sound
"gb" found in several West African languages. But p and b have the
same point of articulation--both lips--and I can't find any reference
to a consonant being simultaneously voiced and voiceless. In practice
"pbook" would probably resolve as either "pook" or "book,"
phonologically.

I vote for "pb" being the bilabial percussive, otherwise known as the
sound of lips smacking. "Pbook" would then sound like "[smack]-ook."
Fun to say 10 times fast!

No need for a new word!  "A book" (analogue book) is a book is a book, as it were.  As in "would you like a book or an ebook?"  It's the format against which the new forms must be distinguished (hence "ebook" and whatever comes next), not the other way around.

What this seems to indicate, is that many of consider the "p" to be silent (as in "pneumonia"), and will be pronouncing it "book"! ;-)

There is actually an e-reader called pbook in the UK which may confuse people if it ever crosses the pond... I will probably stick with "book". :)

I so love that term - 'retronym' that I had to look it up.  The all-knowing Wikipedia talks about 'retronymy' and gives a great list of retronyms, including my favorite - Corn on the cob.

On the other hand, our language is full of other retronyms, which became necessary after successor technologies overtook them: witness "silent films" or "analog clocks" or "horse-drawn carriages".

No need for a new word! "A book" (analogue book) is a book is a book, as it 
were. As in "would you like /a book/ or an /ebook/?" It's the format against 
which the new forms must be distinguished (hence "ebook" and whatever comes 
next), not the other way around.

Rep. Fortenberry reintroduces bill to amend Consumer Product Safety
Improvement Act <http://www.wo.ala.org/districtdispatch/?p=5556>
January 19, 2011 ( No
Comments<https://mail.google.com/mail/html/compose/static_files/blank_quirks.html#comments>)

A year ago this month, the Consumer Product Safety Commission
(CPSC) released their Report to
Congress<http://www.cpsc.gov/ABOUT/Cpsia/cpsiareport01152010.pdf>regarding
difficulties encountered with enforcing the Consumer Product
Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA).

The report reaffirms the Commission?s belief that Congress did not intend to
impose the strict lead ban ? as imposed by section 101(a) of CPSIA ? for
ordinary books. However, the report states that the CPSC does not have the
flexibility needed to grant an exclusion for ordinary books.  ?In order to
address this issue, Congress may, with some limitations, choose to consider
granting an exclusion for ordinary children?s books and other children?s
paper-based printed materials,? the report states.

On January 12, U.S. Rep. Fortenberry (NE-1) once again recognized the need
for ordinary books to be exempt from the law by reintroducing a bill to do
so.   The bill, H.R. 272, would amend CPSIA to exempt ordinary books and
paper-based printed material from the lead limit in CPSIA. The bill has been
referred to the House committee on Energy and Commerce.

Please visit the Legislative Action
Center<http://capwiz.com/ala/issues/alert/?alertid=13004706>to see how
you can show your support for this issue and encourage your
representatives to support and/or co-sponsor  H.R. 272.

the ALA Office of Government Relations, at jmcgilvray at alawash.org or

  Hi all,

  I suppose I should weigh in on this, since Paul and I are the culprits here in the degradation of language. We felt it important to distinguish between p-books (which we pronounced "pee-book," FWIW) and e-books for a few reasons:

    1.. We view "book" to have a somewhat broader definition that doesn't necessarily entail a particular format. Instead, we see it as meaning a sustained instance of argument or storytelling that is recorded in fixed written form, thus distinguishing it from terms like "article." Thus, it defines it type of information delivery system broadly that is not necessarily connected to a particular analog or digital form. Esoteric, yes, but that was our operating principle. 
    2.. Given #1, we saw our primary purpose as reviewing the cost of preserving the ideas and concepts, not necessarily the particular physical or electronic objects in question. Here is where the format does matter, so we felt the need to distinguish. 
    3.. We found ourselves getting confused between formats while discussing and writing this piece, so it helped us keep things straight. 
    4.. We wanted to emphasize that that p-books require physical space, accounting for the vast majority of their storage cost. 
    5.. It got your attention, didn't it?

  But seriously, thanks to Hope for her kind words. I hope that some of you find this bit of library economics esoterica interesting.

  Cheers!
  Buzzy Nielsen

    No need for a new word!  "A book" (analogue book) is a book is a book, as it were.  As in "would you like a book or an ebook?"  It's the format against which the new forms must be distinguished (hence "ebook" and whatever comes next), not the other way around.

I was wondering about the obooks which were delivered through the oral tradition before p or e even happened. Then there are the bc books--before communication when life forms were in mucking around in the primordial soup. Ah, but then I digress . . .

well, I would call it a scroll, I would call a book a book, and I would call an e-book an e-book. As for the definition sent out earlier today - I think the content of the ebook has more volatility than the others, maybe even more akin to an oral history.  So really, instead of inventing retronyms, maybe the ebook people could just come up with a completely new word, that distinguishes this critter more completely from the other things.  Somehow, upon entering and remaining in the digital publishing environment, creativity in naming things seems to have taken a hit.

my two cents (and maybe more) -

Call for Manuscripts 

You
are invited to submit manuscripts to the award-winning Oregon English
Journal* for its Spring 2011 issue. 

"New
Uses for Technology in Schools" 

The
world of technology is exploding all around us, requiring new learning
constantly. How are teachers to keep up with and navigate the continuous
changes? Are the technologies even worth the money? And how does school-based
literacy shift as new technologies are introduced? 



Should we be teaching new skills of media consumerism? In an era where the
individual has ready access to overwhelming amounts of information, how do we
help students be discriminating media consumers? What skills of critical
thinking and selecting do they need to have? How do they separate useful
information from scurrilous indoctrination, data from propaganda, truth from
falsehood? How can we help them cultivate what Ernest Hemingway called a
?built-in crap detector??



In this issue, the Oregon English Journal explores the pros and cons. Consider
submitting your ideas along any of our questions. 

....How
are we adjusting our teaching to today?s media-rich society? How are you
teaching critical media skills? 

?.In what new ways are you using technology? 

....How can we harness students? interests in modern media advances? 

....How are elementary teachers changing the way they teach reading and
writing? 

....Which technologies are you using for teaching the basics? 

....Have media centers replaced libraries? What are virtual libraries? Is the
age of the page gone? 

....Will electronic text media like the Kindle replace books, and what are the
implications for teachers and librarians? 

....Is the daily newspaper a dead medium, and what are the implications for
journalism and reading teachers? 

....Technology can help affirm what students already bring to the classroom.
Can we let students take the lead in teaching teachers media savviness? 

....Are media studies another add-on to the curriculum, or how can we integrate
them into existing studies? 

....What are the pros and cons of online teaching in language arts? What do we
know about its effectiveness and teacher time management? 

....What are the advantages and pitfalls of researching using the internet? 

....How can we use social networking sites like Facebook, MySpace, and others
for healthy educational purposes? 

.... How can we use podcasts, blogs, listservs, and other communications media?
What electronic methods and services have you found useful in promoting student
interaction about school topics? 

....Who will sort out passing fads from the real thing? 

Manuscript
deadline:  February 1, 2011.

We
suggest submissions of 1500-2000 words. Submit both an electronic copy in Word
Doc format to the e-mail below, and two hard copies (with no author
identification on them) double-spaced and titled to the address below. Please

We have both indoor and free-standing, outdoor book drops at all of our
branches.  What do other libraries do about emptying these book drops
during holiday closures?  

 

Please respond offline to the following:

 

1.       Do you leave the book drops open or do you lock/close them
during the holiday?

 

2.       If you lock the book drops, what has been your experience?
Patron outcry? Materials left outside on the ground near the book drop? 

 

3.       If you leave them open, do you have staff come in and empty?
If so, what is the number of staff hours used during the holiday
closure?  Do you also have staff shelve materials during holiday?

 

Thank you in advance for any information!

Subject: [Rockcreek] PCC's Jeffer Daykin Instrumental in Organizing Historic
Archives for Jan. 26 Opening at Multnomah County Library

 

This Wednesday, January 26, Portland Community College history instructor
Jeffer Daykin will be the featured scholarly speaker at the opening of an
important archival collection 

at the Multnomah County Library. 

 

The opening ceremony, and Daykin's speech, marks the culmination of several
years' work to bring the history of Colonel Henry E. Dosch to the public. 

 

Henry Dosch was a prominent Portlander born in 1841, who became the Director
of Exhibits for the 1905 Lewis & Clark World's Fair and is credited for
inviting Japan to that fair 

and to the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific World's Fair (in Seattle) in 1909. Prior to
his involvement in World's Fairs, Dosch served in the Union Army as a
Fremont Bodyguard during the Civil War, 

moved to Oregon and became Pony Express rider. He apparently met Mark Twain
during a brief stint in Nevada (though there is no evidence of that). He
eventually settled in Portland, 

where he promoted Oregon and Japan to each other as potential business and
cultural partners until his death in 1925. 

 

Daykin's research for his original masters' thesis on Japan at the 1905
Portland World's Fair led him to Dosch descendant James Driscoll. After
meeting Driscoll, he forged a connection between 

the Dosch family and the Multnomah County Library John Wilson Special
Collections, a part of the library he'd used with great care as a graduate
student. 

 

Securing the donation was only the beginning of the partnership between
Daykin and John Wilson Special Collections Librarian Jim Carmin. When the
collection arrived at the library, it was 

in "twenty five boxes of completely unorganized materials," said Carmin, who
estimates there were over 20,000 photos, documents and pieces of
correspondence that "had mostly been boxed since the 1920s."

 

Daykin, who also teaches at PSU, had a solution to that dilemma. He arranged
for his Capstone students (at PSU) to process the archives. Over the last
two years, six different Capstone classes have 

worked tirelessly under Daykin tutelage and Carmin's supervision, to make
sense of, date, sort, organize the materials and prepare them for public
use.

 

Carmin praised Daykin's work with his students. "Jeffer is engaging; he is
very serious and involved.  He encourages students to push and learn. He
wants to make sure they know why they're there." 

According to Carmin, Daykin was highly successful in that endeavor.
"Students would come back and either want to continue working on the project
or they would thank me," said Carmin. "They 

gained (a great deal of) knowledge."

 

Daykin, who teaches a range of history courses at PCC Rock Creek including
the Eastern Civilization sequence and a Holocaust history course, has
attended and presented at several symposia 

in and about Japan. He continues to produce scholarship related to early
20th Century international expositions through his work with the Shibusawa
Eiichi Memorial Foundation of Japan. 

He says he hopes to use his love of Japanese and Portland history to give
"local perspective to international relations and connect Portland with the
wider world." 

 

#

The Henry E. Dosch Exhibition opened on January 22 and will be on display
through March 27, 2011. Opening Ceremony will take place on Wednesday,
January 26, 2011, 5:30-7pm at 

the Collins Library, 3rd Floor, Multnomah County Library Central.

Enfield town manager postpones future screenings of non-fiction films at
library until balanced viewpoint ensured, orders library director not to
speak to the media
By Marcus Hatfield
Journal Inquirer
Published: Saturday, January 22, 2011 10:53 AM EST


ENFIELD ? Future installments of the Enfield Public Library?s series of
non-fiction films about controversial issues are postponed until the library
director creates a plan to ensure that each screening offers multiple sides
of each issue, the town manager announced Friday.

Town Manager Matthew W. Coppler has also ordered Library Director Henry
Dutcher not to speak to the media.

The library on Wednesday canceled a Friday screening of filmmaker Michael
Moore?s controversial documentary ?Sicko? under pressure from most Town
Council members and the mayor, who threatened to cut the library?s funding
if the film was shown.

Mayor Scott R. Kaupin asked Coppler to talk to Dutcher about canceling the
film after several residents complained at a council meeting Tuesday about
the scheduled screening

Coppler said the film series had been advertised as a ?balanced approach to
hot topics,? and said that he and the library staff failed to do ?everything
we could do to meet the expectations that council had of us, and we?re
correcting that.?

The film series would be postponed, Coppler said, until Dutcher could meet
those expectations.

Coppler said he told Dutcher that until a plan was in place ?that lived up
to that,? the screenings would not go forward with the topics he selected,

?He?s working on that now,? Coppler added.

Also on hold are Al Gore?s ?An Inconvenient Truth? and ?Trouble the Waters,?
a documentary on the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, which were both to be
screened next month.

One screening of the PBS Frontline special ?Sick Around the World? already
occurred on Jan. 7.

When asked Friday if Dutcher would have lost his job if he failed to cancel
the screening, Coppler said he never discussed that.

?It was never ever said, never ever indicated, never ever even
contemplated,? Coppler said. ?Henry has been a very good employee for the
town of Enfield and the library does a tremendous job for this community.?

Coppler said he had directed Dutcher not to speak to the press, and Dutcher
did not return several calls for comment.

The cancellation of the film, which criticizes the shortcomings of the
American health care system, drew attention from civil liberties and library
groups as news of the controversy spread well beyond the town?s borders and
generated conversations about censorship and freedom of speech.

On Thursday night, Moore linked to the Journal Inquirer?s first story about
the cancellation on his Twitter feed. Moore, who is attending the Sundance
Film Festival in Park City, Utah, could not be reached for comment.

Will Wilkins, director of Real Art Ways in Hartford, said that he attended
an event Thursday at the Sundance Film Festival where Moore mentioned the
Enfield controversy in his speech.

Connecticut Library Association President Debbie Herman, whose organization
on Thursday called the cancellation ?deplorable,? said she has received a
lot of feedback on the issue, which she said was ?incredibly supportive.?

?Overall they?re very pro-library and anti-censorship,? she said.

Herman said the association is looking into hosting a screening of ?Sicko?
at a library in a neighboring town and, while there has been interest, no
events have been confirmed.

Wilkins said that Real Art Ways might also work with the library association
to host a public event that could include a screening and discussion on
censorship.

He said the Enfield Town Council should stay out of the library?s business.

?If there?s some form of speech that the council disagrees with, the proper
response to that is more speech, more conversation, more dialogue,? Wilkins
said.

Library staff members working at the library Friday declined to speak to the
Journal Inquirer or to a television reporter from WFSB-TV3. The library?s
community room, where the 1 p.m. screening would have taken place, remained
dark as the scheduled start time came and went.

The library?s copy of ?Sicko? wasn?t on the shelf ? it had been checked out,
as had another Moore film, ?Capitalism: A Love Story.?

But there was still one copy sitting on a library shelf of filmmaker Michael
Wilson?s ?Michael Moore Hates America.?

Office Supply Scams on the Rise
*

An article from the Federal Trade Commission's Website
*

Has your business ever been targeted by an office supply scam? Could it?
Offi ce supply fraud costs its victims ? large and small businesses, as well
as schools, government agencies, and nonprofit institutions ? an estimated
$200 million per year. These scams generally involve the deceptive sale of
products that businesses purchase on a regular basis ? like printer paper,
copy toner, light bulbs or cleaning materials.

Some fraudulent telemarketers may lie to get your company to pay for items
it never ordered, or to pay more than it agreed to ? often five to 10 times
what the product or service is worth. Some callers pretend to be your
company?s regular supplier or offer a "special deal" that they claim is
"good for a limited time only."

The Federal Trade Commission urges employers to train their employees. Visit
http://www.ftc.gov/boss for more information on how to spot, stop and avoid
office supply scams.

If you think you?ve been the victim of an office scam contact the FTC at
877-FTC-IHELP.

Re: office supply phone scamI shared this with my wife, who orders office supplies --

She sez:

I've had sleezy calls like this before, too. They count on people not really knowing who their copy machine is leased from, etc.

They also call and tell you that the price of toner is going up, but if you order today, they can give you the old price. That doesn't really work when we get our toner free as part of our contract. :-) 

There are crooks born every minute!

addressed is gifts other than books, for use at the library. We are lucky
enough to have access to a Community Foundation that can accept things like
stocks and property on our behalf, but what we run into most often is "art,"
whether it is great local art, or treasures from family members who don't
really want Aunt Susie's amateur watercolors or sculptures but who think
that we really need them.  Currently, we have no mechanism for accepting the
great stuff, while gently declining the rest.  Does anyone out there have a
good policy that they would be willing to share?  

Many Thanks

We have enough books for OLA's Legislative Day now.  Thanks to all of you who pulled through to donated books, my cube is now over-run with books and it is wonderful!  The Legislative Committee and I really appreciate your generosity.

Thank you,

Sara tells me that she has only received 4 books so far and we need about

100 books.  So, if you have any children's books from book review groups or

committees that you aren't adding to your collections we hope that you can

donate them to us for the Oregon Library Association's Legislative Day at

the Oregon State Capital.  If you accidentally got several copies of a

children's book when you only needed one you could donate it to this cause.





We hope to get most of the books sent to Katie Anderson by February 1 but if

you can't do that but can bring them to Legislative Day on February 7 just

let us know so we have a better idea how many books we will have available.



Our display of children's books and providing the opportunity for

Legislators to have a book sent to a library in their district makes the

Oregon Library Association's Legislative Day very different from the

hundreds of other groups that visit Legislators.



Your help really is needed and appreciated.



Thanks.

Towns > Enfield
Enfield library director won?t discuss censorship but says ?Sicko? will be
screened
By Marcus Hatfield
Journal Inquirer
Published: Tuesday, January 25, 2011 11:07 AM EST
ENFIELD ? Library Director Henry Dutcher on Monday said that Michael Moore?s
controversial documentary ?Sicko? will eventually be screened at the Enfield
Public Library but postponing it for now ? as some town officials wanted ?
was in the best interest of the library.

Dutcher, in his first interview since Town Manager Matthew W. Coppler lifted
a gag order on him, would not, however, address questions about whether the
Town Council?s pressure to cancel the library?s Jan. 21 screening of
?Sicko,? Moore?s 2007 Academy Award-nominated documentary criticizing the
American health care system, was censorship.

Also Monday, Democratic Town Chairman Anthony DiPace said he plans to show
the film in the Town Hall Council Chambers at the Democratic Town Committee
meeting on Feb. 9. The screening will be open to the public, he said.

Enfield drew interest from around the world last week after the Journal
Inquirer reported Thursday that the council, at its Jan. 18 meeting,
pressured the library to cancel its Jan. 21 screening of ?Sicko? ? the
second installment of the library?s nonfiction film series. Mayor Scott R.
Kaupin also threatened to cut the library?s funding if the film was shown,
raising questions of whether the council had censored the library.

The mayor asked Coppler to talk to Dutcher about canceling the film after
four residents ? all members of the Republican Town Committee ? used the
public comment portion of the council meeting to object to the screening.

Dutcher, in an interview at the library on Monday, said he chose to ?take a
step back? to retool the film series at Coppler?s request because it was in
the best long-term interests of the library.

?Wednesday morning, we had a situation,? Dutcher said, referring to the
morning after the council meeting when he and Coppler decided to cancel the
screening. ?It?s how you resolve the situation, the end result.?

He said that although the episode wasn?t pretty, it provided an ?amazing
lesson? in how democracy works.

?I personally think what we?ve been through has been very positive in the
outcome,? he said. ?A lot of people say, if you see sausage made, you
wouldn?t want to eat it, but then you might be deprived of something you
really like. Going through this might not be something you really, really
like, but the end process is something that makes us stronger. That?s a real
positive thing.

Dutcher said that because he worked exclusively with Coppler throughout this
process, he did not want to answer any questions about whether he thought
the council had censored him or the library, saying that he didn?t know that
it was a ?yes or no question.?

?I am focusing on the end result. I know someone would want me to say, ?No,
answer that question,?? he said, adding that some of the feedback he has
received has been criticism that he didn?t take a stronger stand. ?That?s
not my province. My province is to make sure this library moves forward in
the way we?ve always done. That?s my role.

?What would I have gained simply by showing a movie on one particular date??
he asked.

Although he wouldn?t say specifically what he would have risked by refusing
to cancel the movie, he said ?there was certainly a chance that the manner
in which we would progress would be much more confrontational.?

Dutcher said he recognizes now that there were flaws in the film series,
which was renamed ?Friday Flicks.? It had previously been known as ?Fun
Flicks.?

Dutcher said the titles for the non-fiction film series that included
?Sicko? were chosen months ago and, therefore, he had no idea that
Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives would push through a vote
on their initiative to repeal President Barack Obama?s health care plan last
week, the same week the film was to be shown.

Dutcher said that in the past the library showed two other Moore
documentaries, ?Bowling for Columbine? and ?Fahrenheit 9/11? without any
controversy.

He said he and his staff focused on finding award-winning or nominated films
with high profiles that dealt with ?hot topics? such as health care,
education, and the environment. In doing so, he said, he didn?t create a
balanced series.

?We didn?t get the balance,? he said. ?That?s what we?re working on.?

He said he expects to have his plan ready in the next week or so, well in
advance of the next council meeting on Feb. 7, which is what council member
wanted.

Finding balance is not always easy, he said. Sometimes, there are no obvious
counterpoints to offer. For example, he said the library once hosted a
presentation about deep-sea fishing, and he said he didn?t know what would
constitute balance in that case.

He said he has considered several films to provide balance to ?Sicko.? One
of the titles is called ?Sick and Sicker? and is a documentary critical of
the health care reform law promoted last year by Obama. Although both films
focus on health care, Dutcher said it isn?t clear whether they represent a
balanced look at the same issue.

He also gave the example of films about Islam, asking whether the library
would have to show films about multiple religions to achieve the balance
demanded by the council.

Kaupin said Monday that balance could be achieved by showing multiple movies
or by supplementing the films with speakers.

?Sometimes maybe you can?t find balance ? maybe there?s not another film
that?s credible, but you can find a speaker. You can find a presentation,?
Kaupin said. ?Invite someone in from Johnson Memorial Hospital or Hartford
Hospital or St. Francis and get their impression on health care.?

Resident Kevin Fealy, in his comments at the Jan. 18 council meeting when he
objected to the library?s screening of ?Sicko,? said that although he felt
cancellation was the right approach, if the screening was to go forward,
there should be an opposing viewpoint offered.

?If we do want to see differing points of view, I would suggest films like
?The Passion of the Christ? and other controversial movies would also be
filmed or shown and advertised for viewing in a public venue like that on
the tax dollar,? Fealy said.

Dutcher said that because the film series uses materials owned by the
library or on loan from other libraries there is virtually no additional
cost involved.

DiPace said he?s looking for someone to provide him with a copy of ?Sicko?
that he can screen for the public after the Democrats? meeting on Feb. 9 at
Town Hall.

Republican Town Chairwoman Mary Ann Turner said Monday that she has no
objection to DiPace?s plan.

?Good for Tony. If he wants to invite me, I?ll bring the popcorn,? she said.

report
of key changes to the E-rate program that will take effect under an order
issued by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in September. The
report
also outlines the American Library Association?s (ALA) efforts to review the
rule changes, compare these changes to the previous program rules, and
inform
the library community of the resulting impact on the eligibility of various
services and the application process.

Dear friends,

I hope you can join us at the Collins Gallery, 3rd Floor, Central
Library, *tomorrow
(Wednesday, January 26th) at 5:30-7:00* for the opening reception of the
latest exhibition that I've curated: *"Henry E. Dosch: The Record of an
Early Oregon Family."*

Henry Dosch (1841-1925) was an important Oregonian who moved to this country
from German in the 1860s, fought with John C. Fremont in the Civil War,
introduced walnuts into the state, and directed the exhibits at the Lewis &
Clark Centennial Exposition in Portland (1905), and the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific
Exposition in Seattle (1909), as well as Oregon exhibits in Osaka, Japan and
elsewhere.

During the last few years, a descendant of Henry Dosch has been giving the
John Wilson Special Collections papers related to this important Oregonian,
including photographs, documents, reports, publications, manuscripts,
original artwork, and more than 3,000 letters and postcards.

A very small portion of these are now on exhibit (until March 27, 2011) in
the Collins Gallery.  I hope you can join us tomorrow evening for a brief
talk by myself, scholar Jeffer Daykin, and donor James Driscoll, and for
some food & drink.

For more information: http://multcolib.org/events/collins/dosch.html

I look forward to seeing you soon.

   Jim

As you may know, OSLIS is still down.  We have hired a company that does tech support and troubleshooting for Plone-based websites to try and get OSLIS back up and running.  I will post again when I have more information or when OSLIS is fixed.  (Hopefully the latter.) :-)

Thanks for your patience.

Unfortunately, OSLIS is still only available on an intermittent basis.  We have tech folks at the State Library and contracted help looking into this.  Because of the sporadic nature of the issues, do try to access when OSLIS you need it.

Message-ID: <640435851FD7CB4AB3C4BE0D1963BA241B110910@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local>

The 2009-2010 Ready to Read Annual Report is now available at: http://www.oregon.gov/OSL/LD/youthsvcs/aboutready.shtml

Congratulations to the Outstanding Ready to Read projects of 2009-2010
?         Cedar Mill Community Library
?         Douglas County Library System
?         Eugene Public Library
?         Lake County Library District
?         Stayton Public Library.

This year as I was reviewing your Final Reports the following projects really stuck out in my mind and I thought they may be of interest to other libraries:

Book Art: Cedar Mill Community Library
A select number of in-home childcare sites received 4 pictures with instructions and supplies for an age-appropriate art experience based on the stories in the books.  Outreach volunteers read the books at the participating childcare sites and children created art corresponding art projects.  Examples of the artwork with the children?s comments were displayed at the library.  The children were given special invitations to share with families and friends for an ?Opening Night? event at the library.

Baby Showers: Lake County Library District and Klamath County Library
In partnership with the local Public Health Office and pediatricians, invitations to a baby shower at the libraries were sent to new parents.  Local businesses and organizations donated refreshments and baby-related gifts such as bibs, blankets, and toys to giveaway to parents at the baby shower.  The libraries, both Reading for Healthy Families participants, had ?a captive audience to spread the early literacy message!?

Big Rig Summer Reading Kick-Off: St. Helen?s Public Library
?When families came to see the 17 different rigs, we gave them a voucher for a free hardhat to be redeemed inside the library.  The line streamed out the front door of the library and our door count? was double for a typical day!  We were able to sign-up participants that had not been in the library before?

Other interesting items from your Ready to Read reports:
Several libraries described successful partnerships with schools/teachers that brought teen parenting classes (parents with their babies!) to the library, and many libraries reported that circulation of Oregon Battle of the Books titles was very high during the summer reading program.

Thank you all for the wonderful library youth services you provide your communities!

OSLIS is working again.  I did a little testing and was able to access pages for each of the three major resources: info lit lessons, subscription databases, and Citation Maker.

The identified problem was corrected, but we are still monitoring the site.  Please let me know if you have problems accessing any part of it.

I am interested in finding out more about how well hiring someone to fillout
your erate applications works for you.  It is a time consuming process and
we really don't have anyone with the time to do it anymore.  However, we
don't have a lot of money for hiring someone so I am wondering about how
much it costs (maybe per hour) and it it has worked well for you to hire
someone.

Yeah, I know this may be a silly question but I just am curious.

Electronic Resources for Library Users: Survey Report and Complete Results

In approaching a new contract for statewide database licensing in Washington State, the Washington State Library decided to create two surveys, one for staff at libraries of all types throughout Washington, and another for the users of public libraries in Washington. Today we are publishing a report that provides a summary of that second survey for public library users.

The survey was administered by providing a link and image for public libraries to put on their websites. In the interest of user anonymity, we did not collect any information about which users came from which libraries, which means that we cannot parse out data based on library size. This summary aggregates responses and comments from all users that started the survey. 1,209 library users started the survey, with 90.1% (1,089 library users) completing it.

Interested parties may download the report (pdf) and complete results (xls) below:

  *   Electronic Resources for Library Users - Survey Report and Analysis<http://www.sos.wa.gov/_assets/library/libraries/projects/sdl/Electronic%20Resources%20for%20Library%20Users%20-%20Survey%20Report%20and%20Analysis%20-%202010.pdf>

A report and analysis of the survey for library staff will also be published and made available on this page once it is completed.

Please pardon the cross-posting.

Sorry to report that OSLIS is down again.  The problems can be intermittent, so if you need OSLIS, try to access it.

If you only need Citation Maker and OSLIS is down, use one of these links below.   For MLA, you should see "based on the 7th edition" above "Welcome to Citation Maker."  For APA, the most recent edition is the 6th.  Remember that even though Citation Maker is up to date on the old site, the information literacy resources and links to the subscriptions databases are not current.

MLA Elementary: http://old.oslis.org/MLACitations/elementary/index.php

MLA Secondary: http://old.oslis.org/MLACitations/secondary/index.php

APA: http://old.oslis.org/APACitations/

I know it doesn't help you now, but know that we are not just looking for a short term solution but a long term one as well.  We understand that you need OSLIS to be reliable, and we have initiated additional steps to help make sure it is.

I'll be in touch about this once I have something concrete to share.

Thanks,
Jen

If you use OSLIS with K12 patrons, please read on.  Please pardon the cross-posting.

Until we get OSLIS back up and running, you have temporary access to the Gale databases and Citation Maker via "back doors."

For Citation Maker, still use these links that I sent in an earlier email.  Remember that even though Citation Maker is up to date on the old site, the information literacy resources and links to the subscriptions databases are not current.
MLA Elementary: http://old.oslis.org/MLACitations/elementary/index.php
MLA Secondary: http://old.oslis.org/MLACitations/secondary/index.php
APA: http://old.oslis.org/APACitations/

For access to the Gale databases, go to the support page Gale created for Oregon libraries when they became our vendor.
www.galesupport.com/oregon<http://www.galesupport.com/oregon>
            Click on the OSLIS logo found in the lower left corner.
If your school's or district's IP addresses are on file with Gale, you should get instant access to the menu of database choices.
Otherwise, you will get the usual login screen that prompts you for your user name and password.

Many thanks to Chris M. at Gale for his quick response in creating temporary access to the Gale databases.

Please share this information with others you know or suspect are not on the OASL or OSLIST listservs.

Thanks,
Jen

Ok folks, we are getting down to the wire here.  There is just one week to
go and appointments have been made with only 14 out of 30 Senators and only
11 out of 60 Representative.

If you are nervous about going to talk with your legislators that is natural
but most of the legislators and their staff usually make it pretty easy.
They are very use to talking with groups visiting them.  The hardest part
might actually be getting to the topics you want to address.  They will
usually only have 10 to 15 minutes to talk with you.  The offices hold up to
3 visitors so if you take one or two people with you it makes it even easier
to have the conversation.

We have some subjects for you to address,
http://olanetwork.wikispaces.com/OLA+Issue+Papers+for+the+2011+Legislature.
Nan Heim will be meeting with people at 9:00 a.m. to discuss the issues in
Room 101 at the State Library.

There will be people in the Galleria at the Capital building, with the book
display, who have a lot of experience and are very willing to talk with you
about how to meet with your legislators and about the issues

If you can't meet with your legislators then try to meet with their staff.

If you can't attend at all but want to be a part of OLA Legislative day then
commit to calling or sending an email to your legislators on Monday,
February 7.  We would like to know if you are doing this so you can add that
informaton on the schedule on the wiki as well.

If you have problems posting your appointments to the wiki,
http://olanetwork.wikispaces.com/OLA+Legislative+Day+Appointments, just send
me the information, diedre08 at gmail.com and I am very happy to add it for
you.

*Come have a fun day in Salem.

Now that the Legislators know more about their schedules and when their
committees are meeting you may be finding it more difficult to set up an
appointment with them.  Don't let this worry you.  Just set up an
appointment with their legislative assistant.  This is always a good option
since the assistant really does keep track of legislation for the
legislator.

See you in a week.

  *USCBS AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS WARN OF EMERGENCY IN EGYPT*

* *

The undersigned cultural heritage and archaeological organizations express
their concern over the loss of life and injury to humans during the protests
in Egypt this week. We support the desire of the Egyptian people to exercise
their basic civil rights. We also share their concern about the losses to
cultural heritage that Egypt has already sustained and the threat of further
such losses over the coming days.



Brave actions taken by the citizens of Cairo and the military largely
protected the Cairo Museum. However, numerous sites, museums and storage
areas located outside of Cairo are even more vulnerable. As the prisons are
opened and common criminals are allowed to escape, the potential for greater
loss is created. A recent report from Egyptologist Professor Sarah Parcak of
the University of Alabama in Birmingham states that damage has been done to
storage areas and tombs in Abusir and Saqqara and that looting is occurring
there and in others locations.



We call on the Egyptian authorities to exercise their responsibilities to
protect their country's irreplaceable cultural heritage. At the same time,
we call on United States and European law enforcement agencies to be on the
alert over the next several months for the possible appearance of looted
Egyptian antiquities at their borders.

Hi, all. I am forwarding the below as it is quite interesting to read the survey to see what questions are asked of those in many fields who have tried to self-archive their articles. That is becoming more and more important as journals grow ever more prohibitively expensive. This is the link:

An opportunity to share your experiences!

A new study aims to analyze the implications of open access with a qualitative
approach. Focus will be on what changes can be noticed by the single researcher
with the shift from non-OA publishing of research articles to self-archiving.
The study is a part of a research project on different aspects of open access
at Uppsala University, in Uppsala, Sweden. The project is managed by Urban
Ericsson, PhD, Lecturer at Institution of Library and Information Science
(urban.ericsson at abm.uu.se).

I wish to reach researchers from all disciplines, with experience of publishing
research articles in both traditional non-OA channels and of self-archiving in
institutional and/or subject based open archives. The survey will take
approximately 20 minutes to answer. Please note that all answers will be
handled with confidentiality. Single answers might be quoted anonymously.

To the survey: https://survey.mamut.com/s?s=20424
To contribute, please send your answer before the 2nd of March 2011. The more
contributors, the more valuable the study. Please feel free to promote and
distribute the survey to your fellow colleagues.

Take this opportunity to reflect over how the changing research community and
publication processes have affected you and your research! If you have any
questions or comments, contact me at:
moahedbrant at yahoo.se.

Thank you for your contribution!

READER PRIVACY FIGHT RESUMES IN CONGRESS
            WASHINGTON, DC, January 31, 2011--Just four weeks before controversial portions of the USA Patriot Act are set to expire, Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) last week reintroduced a reauthorization bill that would restore protections for reader privacy that were eliminated by the Patriot Act in 2001.  The Leahy bill, S. 193, was approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee in 2009 when Congress last considered reauthorization, but never received a vote by the full Senate.  (The expiring provisions of the Patriot Act were extended for one year without any changes.)  It provides important safeguards for library records, limiting FBI searches to the records of people who are ?agents of a foreign power,? including suspected terrorists, and people known to them.  This heightened protection would eliminate the danger of the federal government using its broad search power to conduct fishing expeditions into what people are reading.  The Patriot Act currently authorizes the FBI to search any records that are ?relevant? to a terrorist investigation, including the records of people who are not suspected of criminal conduct.
            
The Campaign for Reader Privacy, which represents librarians, booksellers, authors and publishers, supports S. 193, the USA Patriot Act Sunset Extension Act of 2011, as an important step forward.  However, the bill does not provide additional protection for the records of bookstore customers, which could still be searched whenever the FBI believes they are ?relevant.?  Barbara Jones, director of the American Library Association?s Office for Intellectual Freedom, called on Congress to protect the privacy of reader records in bookstores as well as libraries.  ?We appreciate the heightened protection afforded library records for those Americans who borrow books.  The next logical step would be to safeguard the First Amendment rights of Americans who purchase books in a bookstore.  In both instances, reader privacy must be maintained," she said.
            
The Campaign for Reader Privacy noted that in a December 9 letter to Leahy, Attorney General Eric Holder promised to implement many of the reforms that were contained in Leahy?s 2009 reauthorization bill, including the provision strengthening reader privacy.  Holder said the added protections would apply to both libraries and bookstores.  ?Taken together, I believe these measures will advance the goals of....enhancing the privacy and civil liberties our citizens enjoy without compromising our ability to keep our nation safe and secure,? Holder wrote.
            
The Campaign for Reader Privacy was organized in 2004 by the American Booksellers Association, the American Library Association, the Association of American Publishers, and PEN American Center.  Its goal is to ensure that Americans can purchase and borrow books without fear that the government is reading over their shoulder.  For more information, visit www.readerprivacy.org
