Thanks to everyone who sent e-mails in response to the horrific EF-5 tornado
that devastated Joplin MO on May 22.

I can now send you the following information regarding tornado relief funds:

The Joplin Public Library has established a fund to assist the ten employees
who lost their homes and were injured during the tornado. Please send checks
to the Joplin Public Library Staff Relief Fund, c/o Jacque Gage, Joplin
Public Library, 300 South Main Street, Joplin MO 64801. The library is on
Facebook at www.facebook.com/joplinpubliclibrary and messages of support are
appreciated.

The Missouri Southern State University Foundation has also established a
fund to assist faculty, staff and students who lost their homes and were
injured during the tornado. You can donate online at www.mssu.edu then click
on Giving, or by check to Missouri Southern Foundation, 3950 East Newman
Road, Joplin MO 64801. Please write: Tornado Emergency Relief Fund on the
memo line of the check.

The Joplin Public Schools were very hard hit by the tornado. Seven students
and one staff member were killed, and many have lost their homes and were
injured. Three schools, including the high school, were completely
destroyed; three schools were severely damaged, two schools have possible
roof damage, and several district support facilities were damaged. The
school district has also established a relief fund. You can donate at any
U.S. Bank in the country or send checks to Joplin Schools Tornado Relief
Fund, Attn: Kim Vann, 102 North Gray Avenue, Joplin MO 64801. You can follow
the Joplin Schools recovery on their web site at www.joplink12.mo.us.

St. John's Regional Medical Center was severely damaged by the tornado and
six people were killed. Many hospital employees lost their homes and were
injured. The medical librarian and her family are safe and unhurt. The
hospital has already established a temporary facility to continue to treat
patients. You can donate to Mercy Co-Worker Tornado Relief online at
www.mercy.net/#search-mercy and click on Donate Now.

It took a little while to compile the information, and I wanted to get it
all into one e-mail instead of several.  The entire week following the
tornado in Joplin we had severe storms and several additional tornado alerts
all across Missouri, but no further significant damage.

An Electronic Newsletter from the Oregon State Library.......Volume 22, Issue 6, June 2011



Library Board News


WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS 2011-13 OSL BUDGET

On May 20th, the Ways and Means Committee of the Legislature passed out SB 5521, the State Library's budget bill for 2011-13. The bill preserves all of the current Library programs but reduces one staff position and makes significant cuts to the Library's operating budget. Overall, the $13.97 million budget is reduced by 7% from the Library's budget in the current biennium. The Ready to Read Grant program was cut from the 94 cents per child per year recommended by Governor Kitzhaber to 78 cents per child per year. This was a continuation of the funding level in 2009-11 after the two across the board cuts that brought the program funding down to 67 cents per child last year. Governor Kitzhaber had also proposed to move the program to the new Early Learning Council in the Governor's Office, but the Ways and Means Committee decided to keep the program in the State Library's budget for now. The Legislature will reconsider this at their next session in February 2012. The Ways and Means Committee also added a budget note to the State Library's budget requesting that the Governor, the Secretary of State, and the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court convene a workgroup this year "to develop options and make recommendations on the consolidation and Improvement of library and archives services" in State government. At press time SB 5521 had passed in the Senate and was awaiting a vote in the House. If the bill passes, as expected, it will then go to the Governor for his signature.

STATE LIBRARY BOARD TO MEET IN JOSEPHINE COUNTY

The State Library Board will hold its June 17th meeting at the Josephine County Library in Grants Pass. The Board will hear from the Executive Director and President of Josephine Community Libraries, the non-profit organization that has been running the Library under contract to the county since December 2008, about their progress and future plans. The Board will finalize their plans for recruiting a new Oregon State Librarian to replace Jim Scheppke who has announced his retirement at the end of the calendar year. The Board will also elect new officers for FY 2012 and hear recommendations from the LSTA Advisory Council. The Council recommendations will cover grant applications to be invited for possible funding in 2012 and other proposals relating to the use of LSTA funds to benefit Oregon libraries. The Talking Book and Braille Services Advisory Council will also make recommendations to the Board about the use of donation funds in FY 2012. The meeting will begin at 11:00 am in the library meeting room. An Open Forum is scheduled for 12:30 pm.  Anyone may address the Board on any subject at the Open Forum.

CLIFF TROW TO RETIRE FROM THE STATE LIBRARY BOARD

The June 17th Board meeting will be the last for Cliff Trow of Corvallis, who will complete a four-year term on the Board. He has decided not to seek a reappointment. Trow was appointed to the Board by Governor Ted Kulongoski in 2007. During a 28-year career as a State Senator in the Oregon Legislature (1975-2003), Trow was a champion for libraries. He was twice named Oregon Library Association Legislator of the Year, in 1992 and again in 1994. In 2002, Trow was given an Honorary Life Membership in OLA in recognition of all his work in support of libraries. In 1992, Trow chaired an Interim legislative committee on libraries that developed what became the Ready to Read Grant program and the State Library's statewide library resource sharing program. A decade later, Trow co-chaired another interim committee that developed legislation for the statewide database licensing program and the L-net virtual reference service. Trow served on the history faculty at Oregon State University for 31 years, and he served six years on the Board of the Corvallis-Benton County Library. "What a privilege it has been to have Cliff Trow complete his decades of service to Oregon libraries as a member of the State Library Board," commented State Librarian Jim Scheppke. Governor John Kitzhaber will be appointing a new Board member to fill the vacant seat after Trow leaves the Board at the end of June.

FREE OREGON SUMMER READING CERTIFICATES COMING SOON

Oregon Summer Reading Certificates are made available to libraries, schools, and teachers at no cost thanks to a collaboration between the Oregon State Library, Oregon Department of Education, and Oregon Library Association, and is funded by a generous donation from the Oregon Education Association. Teachers, reading specialists, and school librarians may present Oregon Summer Reading certificates to students who read or listen to ten books over the summer. Children and teens may also get certificates at their public library by completing the library's summer reading program or providing the library with a list of the ten books they read. This year we are pleased to offer a children's and teen certificate, both in English and Spanish. All public libraries placed pre-orders in November 2010 and should receive their certificates by mid-June. The certificates will be available to download and print for free from the State Library's Oregon Summer Reading<http://www.oregon.gov/OSL/LD/youthsvcs/oregon.srp.certificate.shtml> web page later this month. Look for the announcement via the kids-lib, OYAN, and OASL email discussion lists.

LAUNCHING DESTINATION COLLEGE SAVINGS

The Oregon 529 College Savings Network, Oregon State Library, and Oregon Library Association are partnering to present Destination College Savings, the second summer reading sweepstakes. Children and teens 0-18 years old who participate in their local public library's summer reading program are eligible to enter a drawing to win a $1,000 Oregon 529 College Savings Plan. Fifteen winners will be selected statewide, three from each congressional district. Libraries identified in winning entries will receive $500 for their next summer reading program.Contest materials have been distributed to public libraries. Libraries may distribute entry forms in whatever way works best with your local summer reading program. All materials are free. Please contact Kathy Griffin<mailto:KGriffin at tiaa-cref.org> if your public library needs more materials.

EXPLORE OSL'S ONLINE LIBRARY DIRECTORY

Take some time to explore the State Library's online library directory. Besides finding contact information for public, tribal, and academic libraries in Oregon, the directory allows you to sort and export search results. You can also create mailing labels and identify libraries in specific counties or by system membership. While taking a look at the directory<http://www.oregon.gov/OSL/LD/directories.shtml> and gathering useful information about other libraries, please take a look at your own library's information to be sure it is correct and current.

TWO WINS AND A LOSS IN THE MAY LIBRARY ELECTIONS

A local option levy that provides 30% of the budget for the Baker County Library District was renewed for five years with a 65% "yes" vote in the May 17th elections. The levy will raise about $275,000 a year. Library director Perry Stokes told the Baker City Herald that he was "delighted" with the result. He said the library will consider increasing the library materials budget and increasing open hours on the weekends. Another local option levy in Corvallis will stabilize funding for the Corvallis-Benton County Library for the next three years and will prevent the closure of the city aquatics center and senior center. The measure also passed with a strong "yes" vote of 65%. If the levy had failed, the main library in Corvallis would have had to lay off staff, close on Mondays, and reduce the purchase of library materials. The Lake County Library tried unsuccessfully for a second time to pass a bond measure to complete the construction of a new main library in Lakeview and to fund a new branch library facility in Christmas Valley. The measure would have raised $2.25 million.

OREGON LIBRARIAN TO CHAIR 2013 NEWBERY AWARD COMMITTEE

Steven Englefried, youth librarian at the Wilsonville Public Library, has been elected Chair of the 2013 Newbery Medal Committee. The Medal is awarded annually by the Association for Library Service to Children, a division of the American Library Association, to the author of the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children. Englefried also served on the 2010 Newbery Award Committee that selected When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead and has presented several programs in Oregon about the Newbery and Caldecott Medals.
P.S. (From the State Librarian)


Testimony delivered to the Salem-Keizer School District Budget Committee on May 3, 2011, in reaction to a plan to eliminate school librarians from all elementary and middle schools in the district.

Mr. Chair, Superintendent Husk and members of the Budget Committee, my name is Jim Scheppke.

I want to try to briefly present the case for why we need strong school libraries in all of our elementary and middle schools in our district.

I hope we can begin from the premise that the most important ability for our students to master is that of reading. Reading proficiency is the foundation of all learning; it is essential to our responsibilities as citizens; it is essential for good jobs in the 21st century workforce.

It was in recognition of this that the State Board of Education decided a few years ago that reading proficiency would be the first new requirement for high school graduation. As you know, our Class of 2012 will have to meet that requirement next year.

And what is the outlook, next year and beyond, for all our students becoming proficient readers and graduating from high school? If you look at the data from the state reading assessments, the outlook is not good. Last year our Class of 2012 were 10th graders, and 34%, one in three, could not pass the 10th grade reading assessment. One in three.

So how are you going to address this problem, which is a problem, I might add, throughout our state? I don't have all the answers, but I submit that you will make the problem much worse if you eliminate librarians from our elementary and middle schools.

This is because decades of education research shows that children become proficient readers because of what our school librarians do every day. This evidence is summarized in a book by Professor Stephen Krashen, Emeritus Professor of Education at the University of Southern California:

"My conclusions are simple. When children read for pleasure, when they get "hooked on books,"... they will become adequate readers, acquire a large vocabulary, develop the ability to understand and use complex grammatical constructions, develop a good writing style, and become good ... spellers. Without it, I suspect children simply do not have a chance." (Stephen Krashen, The Power of Reading, p. 149)

Getting all kids hooked on books - that is what our school librarians in our elementary and middle schools do every day. They get our kids hooked on books and that is how most of them become proficient readers. And for the one out of three that are falling behind, part of the answer is to strengthen our school library programs, not gut them, and particularly, I would say, in our elementary schools. That's what the evidence indicates you should do.

I know firsthand that we have outstanding school librarians in our elementary and middle schools in this district, who, given a chance, will redouble their efforts to have all of our children become proficient readers and high school graduates. I hope, despite all the budget problems you face, that you will give them that chance. - Jim Scheppke

 Dear school librarians and school library supporters:



The ALA Washington Office pursues every possible opportunity to increase
Congressional support for school libraries.



Currently, the ALA is working to boost support for Senator Jack Reed?s
upcoming reintroduction of a new Strengthening Kids? Interest in Learning
and Libraries (SKILLS) Act.



Though the bill text has not yet been finalized, Sen. Reed continues to be
our strongest ally on Capitol Hill, and strong bipartisan support for the
SKILLS Act will increase the likelihood of securing provisions for school
libraries in future education legislation.



In the coming months, the ALA Washington Office will need your advocacy as
well as support from your community.



Please send your email address to Jessica Schneider at
jschneider at alawash.org and be on alert for calls to action from our office
throughout the summer.



Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.



Emily Sheketoff

Executive Director of ALA?s Washington Office

Hi All,

We have a run of hardbound issues of the New York Times Book Review from Sept 1971 to Dec 1990 available free to anyone who would like to pick them up, or is on the statewide courier route. There are 28 volumes here, which works out to a bit over 2 yards of linear shelf space.

Hoping to hear from someone?anyone?


Cheers,

Hello Downtown Librarians,

I'm pleased to announce our next group meeting will be hosted by Lenora Oftendahl at the Streamnet Library. We'll meet on Wednesday, June 8, at noon. To get to Streamnet, go to 729 NE Oregon St, Ste 190.  corner of Oregon St & 7th St.
It is highly recommended that you take the MAX to the NE 7th stop. The roads are under heavy construction due to the streetcar, and while parking is available, it isn't free.
Thank you to Lenora and Streamnet for having us, and I look forward to seeing you next week!
Please let me know if you plan to attend, so that we can give our hosts an idea of how many to expect.

Thanks again,
Elsa

Subject: Mixing in Math webinar in Oregon

Dear Oregon colleagues,

I'm writing from TERC, a non-profit math and science education organization in Cambridge, MA.  For the last four years, the "Mixing in Math" group at TERC has been funded by the National Science Foundation to develop, research, and support implementation of math materials for libraries. Mixing in Math is designed to mesh with the activities that librarians usually do, such as book clubs, story times, displays, and craft programs. We emphasize accessibility, engaging the whole family, encouraging repeated experiences, and supporting local librarians in building capacity. Our approaches and activities were developed in conjunction with libraries in MA, CT, and NY.  All our English/Spanish materials are available on our website for free downloading (http://mixinginmath.terc.edu<http://mixinginmath.terc.edu/>).

I would like to invite you to explore our web site and share it with librarians who serve children and families. We would also like to offer a free webinar to show librarians how to use our website, and to explain how librarians across the US have used the materials with children and families. It could be part of your regular continuing education offerings or we could host it ourselves.

I would like to invite you to explore our web site, try out our activities and games, and take a look at our recent annual reports summarizing impacts of our projects (http://mixinginmath.terc.edu/aboutMiM/researchReports.cfm).  Please suggest some times in the coming weeks you'd be available for a phone call and we'll let you know what works for us.

We look forward to speaking with you.
Regards,

Nuria

Hi, all. Just an FYI on a problem here in my hometown of Corvallis. I don't and never have worked at the Corvallis-Benton County library but have been going there since I was born here and I dismayed that the problem with unruly youth at the entrance has become such a problem that young families and other patrons are being hassled at the very gateway to the library and that the problem has escalated to the front page of the Sunday paper. Ironically, a special levy for the library, local pool and senior center just passed resoundingly.


Here is the article.

I had a chance to visit D.C. Public Library's Martin Luther King branch last spring and had a chance to meet Rebecca Renard (2011 LJ's movers and shaker awardee).  She brought together what she called natural arch nemesis (teens vs. homeless) by having them interview each other and documenting the process.  What is happening at Corvallis-Benton County Library can be an opportunity to make a positive impact  and a chance to bridge the gap between homeless teens and the community.

Hi, all. Just an FYI on a problem here in my hometown of Corvallis. I don't and never have worked at the Corvallis-Benton County library but have been going there since I was born here and I dismayed that the problem with unruly youth at the entrance has become such a problem that young families and other patrons are being hassled at the very gateway to the library and that the problem has escalated to the front page of the Sunday paper. Ironically, a special levy for the library, local pool and senior center just passed resoundingly.

During these tough economic times, more people are relying on libraries than ever before, even as library funding is being slashed or eliminated altogether. The hard truth is that many seasoned librarians are losing their jobs, and many recent LIS graduates are having a hard time finding one. Being unemployed is potentially devastating; without a clear, well-thought out game plan and considerable attention to their own personal well-being, those affected may find it difficult to recover. In this ALA Editions Special Report, Woodward, a veteran librarian with decades of experience, helps at-risk librarians
* Prepare for budget crunches by showing them how to develop versatile skills and plan ahead for potential changes in employment
* Educate themselves about which library positions are being phased out and which will hold steady or expand
* Adjust their career goals, repurpose their existing skills for non-traditional librarianship, and even search for work in non-library settings
This Special Report provides the compassionate guidance and pragmatic support that librarians will need to survive possible career crises and reenter the job market with renewed confidence.

Thank you Karen for posting this response. 

I strongly feel that the public library is a place where all people, no matter their life situation, should be comfortable. This can be a bit of a balancing act. 

I very much agree with Karen's point that the library has an opportunity to work more closely with its community. Judging from the article, it looks like the library has gone from being reactive to proactive, taking advantage of the opportunity and reaching out to community groups. 

Although the teens featured in the news story may be only taking advantage of a few? library services, there is always the chance that as their situation they will use more library services. 

It may be that the young mother-to-be will attend baby story time, check out baby board books, or books for herself to help her improve her situation. 

The library is providing her and other homeless teens with stability, shelter, and safety if only for a few hours a day. 

Marta

Greetings,

Our volunteer, Ms. Scheppke, has been delving into the LSTA grant records and digging out the lessons learned to put together best practices in certain topical areas.

Attached is the collection of best practices in digital library and digitization in Oregon.  We welcome any suggestions or comments for improvement that you have.  Please contact me with suggestions.

You can find all three of the documents Jane produced from months of pouring through grant records and interviewing grantees at:  http://www.oregon.gov/OSL/LD/lsta.shtml#LSTA_Best_Practice

We at the Oregon State Library would like to thank Jane Scheppke for all her hard work and patience for distilling out these best practices.

Thank you,
Ann Reed

The loiterers at the Monroe St. entrance to CPL are a totally new 
phenomenon, indeed, but I've never felt or been hassled by them. It is odd, 
though. When I was growing up in Portland, I remember "No Loitering" signs 
allover the place (or so it seemed to me). I figured maybe part of the draw 
at CPL is access to its free WiFi? Or does it reach to Monroe? I guess I 
could stand among them and see if my iPod Touch gets online, while they're 
going, "Eeeuw. Who's this old guy?"

I haven't read the Corvallis G-T's front page Sunday story on this, yet. I've never gotten the impression that the bottom-of-the-steps-to-the-library sidewalk loiterers were also library users. They've always just struck me as hangin' out on the sidewalk there, doin' whatever. Great if they're actually usin' the library, too!

I know a young lady who lives in Corvallis. She loves books and libraries, but her enjoyment of the Corvallis Library has been greatly diminished by those youth who hang around outside. She feels intimidated and scared walking past them, so much so that she abandoned her idea of volunteering at the library when she turned 14.

Message-ID: <BANLkTim_g3YG2LirxEi-TBi1wO+ymdaR2A@mail.gmail.com>

*Contact your U.S. senators - ask them to sign on to library funding letter*

The deadline for U.S. senators to sign on to the Senate ?Dear Colleague?
letter for libraries is close of business Wednesday.  You are receiving this
e-mail because we need many more senators to sign onto this letter.  While
the economic climate has forced legislators to think critically about the
FY2012 budget, the reality is that libraries provide one of the best returns
on investment in the federal budget.



Senators Jack Reed and Olympia Snowe are leading an effort to increase
support for FY2012 federal funding for the Library Services and Technology
Act (LSTA) and Improving Literacy Through School Libraries.  We need other
senators to sign the Reed-Snowe letter as soon as possible.  Please call
immediately.

*To reach your senators? offices, call (202) 224-3121 and ask to be directed
to their office. Tell them that you?d like them to sign on to the ?Dear
Colleague? supporting library funding, which is being circulated by Senators
Jack Reed and Olympia Snowe.*  Describe at least one valuable service that
your library provides the community or a success story about a library
patron.  Examples include access to computers and data services to aid job
searchers, support for small businesses with marketing data and other
resources as well as teaching digital literacy to people of all ages
including K-12 students.

After they agree to sign on the letter, ask them to contact Elyse Wasch in
Reed?s office or Matthew Hussey in Snowe?s office.

As of 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday, June 7, these senators have not yet signed on to
this year?s ?Dear Colleague? but did sign onto last year?s letter:

Wyden ? OR

Johnson ? SD

Brown ? OH

I have read the original posting, the linked article, and the responses to them.  I am wondering just what the folks at the Corvallis library and those of you who have responded perceive the mission of the library to be.  Is the library supposed to be a homeless shelter, a public park, a drug treatment center, or a branch of community corrections?  Does the library have an obligation to tolerate daylong use as a hangout by persons who are not availing themselves of actual library services?

Perhaps society owes these young people something.  Perhaps certain government agencies owe them something.  It seems to me all the library owes them is access to library materials and services.  Apparently the only attraction the library holds for them is free restrooms and proximity to other free public services in the neighborhood.

The young people need to grow up and take responsibility for their own lives instead of relying on soup kitchens for their meals, homeless shelters for a place to sleep, free clinics for health care, and the library grounds as a clubhouse.  I'm guessing they don't vote and they don't pay taxes.  The people who are being intimidated by them and who are therefore avoiding the library are the ones who voted to build it and fund its operation; they are the ones who are paying taxes to support it.  What's wrong with this picture?

If there are other agencies which have an obligation to provide social services to these young people, that's fine, but I fail to see why the public library needs to provide adult daycare for them to the detriment of people who need or want to use the library for legitimate library purposes.

Keeping up the cold front will not make the homeless teens go away nor will it improve the tension between the teens and other library patrons.  I was merely pointing to the obvious opportunity presented here for the library to engage in community interaction.

Hi, everyone. I have been hanging back a bit waiting to see what some of the reaction was to be to the situation with the entrance to the Corvallis-Benton Public Library matter and now I just want to thank everyone who responded.

I agree wholeheartedly with the comments of Bob Jones when he says, ?Does the library have an obligation to tolerate daylong use as a hangout by persons who are not availing themselves of actual library services??

I must admit that I have been somewhat reluctant to speak out on the matter because as soon as one expresses concern about loitering and the supposed ?homeless? (many of whom are homeless simply because they have exhausted the patience of every living member of their family and alienated everyone who has attempted to befriend them) she can be tarred as callous and heartless.

But, again, I agree with Bob Jones. A library is meant to function as a library. To me, what the librarians who took the side of the loiterers mentioned in the new story are missing are the comments of the young father who has simply given up going to the Corvallis branch and now takes his six-year-old to the Philomath branch, even though it has fewer books and other resources for his child to benefit from. What about his rights and those of his child? When libraries start to cater only to the dysfunctional they themselves becomes dysfunctional in that they lose sight of their mission, which is to serve as places of learning and refuge for those who seek knowledge. And many of those people are poor.

Also, if we are genuinely interested in helping the young people who are hanging out on the front steps of the library while going into the library solely to use the restroom, how we are helping them when we make it easier for them to become ever more shiftless? Well-intentioned psychobabble about their rough backgrounds only tars them in the eyes of others as incorrigible messes incapable of acquiring good manners, gainful employment and the means to make it in the workplace or to avail themselves of the blessings of culture and education. How are we helping them by facilitating perpetual boorishness and condemning the library to increasing levels of irrelevance to those who still treasure what libraries once stood for, which among other things was their reputation as places where poor people could gain access to the blessings of books and the kindness of librarians and the firmness of librarians who were not afraid to enforce elementary standards of behavior that helped generations of Americans work their way out of poverty and into a life of their mind?

I feel so strongly on this topic because I was born in Corvallis and one of my earliest memories is going with my mother and slightly older sister to the children?s room of the library here. We did not have to run a gauntlet and our mother did not have to give up on taking us there. And we all have seen that public libraries are in trouble and they are in trouble partially because they are choosing to cater to those who want to hang out just outside their doors and not to those who want to enter the premises. There is a world of difference between the young video gamer who might benefit from a gaming night at the public library and a 24-year-old loafer (and yes, I  will use such a word for such things do exist) who likes to bully young mothers and small children.

I spend huge amounts of time on grant-related matters and I could only roll my eyes that one of the proposed solutions to the problems at the hooligans (yes, there are those things too?along with the genuinely mentally ill or those unemployed and desperately looking for work) is to try to find grant money for yet another program to deal with the problem. There is a plethora of programs designed to help the down and out and Corvallis and the kids at the library are free to avail themselves of them. Do we really need to set up yet another to compete for the small amount of funding that they all already have to compete for?

I voted dutifully for the latest levy for our public library just a few weeks ago. But I voted for it because it was intended for fund a library. Next time will voters be so quick to support a library they may have by then come to regard as an expensive institution that puts political correctness above public service and which they no longer visit?

Let us face reality and not sacrifice the working poor on the alter of the rebel without a cause who just wants to hang out.

Hope Leman

For heaven's sake, everyone, these young people are standing on the
public sidewalk for the most part.   Neither the library nor the police
have the authority to eject people from the public right of way.
Loitering is not illegal.  It is also, to the best of my knowledge, not
illegal for them to use swear words as people pass by them.   It is
unpleasant for those passing by, but the library is not responsible for
the behavior of aliented people who do not know how to behave in a
civilized society and who want attention.   The police are here on a
regular basis--we have enhanced patrol, but in the United States you
normally cannot arrest people just for hanging out, even if you are
acting rudely.

The library is not providing adult daycare to anyone.   We have worked
with other agencies that serve this population to help alleviate the
problem so that other users are not made uncomfortable by them.  Not to
coddle them or provide them with handouts.   For example  we call
Juvenile Probation because they have leverage with many of these teens.
They can do more to keep them away or make them behave better than the
police can.  We are not providing them with any kind of social services.
We regularly have staff enforcing our rules on our property, ban people
who break the rules, and we have completely banned smoking from within
50 feet of our building.    The library provides library services to
those who come in and avail themselves of our services, as long as they
abide by the provisions of our Code of Conduct.  I am guessing that the
majority of public libraries allow anyone to come in to the library as
long as they are following whatever behavior codes the library has in
force--at least I hope everyone is.  

This whole situation has been extremely stressful for our library staff
and users for the past couple of years.  Fortunately the majority of
people in Corvallis, while bothered by the antisocial behavior, do not
blame the library for causing this.  Too bad some of our colleagues, who
should certainly understand the situation better than a person with no
background on running a building that is OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, are blaming
the library for this situation.  You have really hit a raw nerve with me
on this.   The library did nothing to create or cause this problem and I
really resent the implication that we have.

When the Newport City Council voted to ban smoking on the grounds of all City buildings (to the street) we were amazed, and relieved, to find that it curtailed the use of the front of the library as a place to hang out, both for young adults and adult transients.  Seems that smoking was a big part of the socializing that went on and when folks couldn't smoke they went somewhere else.  Who knew?

We still have plenty of young adults and adult transients using the library but they no longer party at the front doors, scaring small children and elderly women.  And, yes, we did post signs and do still have to monitor the smoking.

Subject: Re: [Libs-Or] Problems for Corvallis-Benton County Library With youth at entrance--coming soon to a library near you?

Hi, everyone. I have been hanging back a bit waiting to see what some of the reaction was to be to the situation with the entrance to the Corvallis-Benton Public Library matter and now I just want to thank everyone who responded.

I agree wholeheartedly with the comments of Bob Jones when he says, "Does the library have an obligation to tolerate daylong use as a hangout by persons who are not availing themselves of actual library services?"

I must admit that I have been somewhat reluctant to speak out on the matter because as soon as one expresses concern about loitering and the supposed "homeless" (many of whom are homeless simply because they have exhausted the patience of every living member of their family and alienated everyone who has attempted to befriend them) she can be tarred as callous and heartless.

But, again, I agree with Bob Jones. A library is meant to function as a library. To me, what the librarians who took the side of the loiterers mentioned in the new story are missing are the comments of the young father who has simply given up going to the Corvallis branch and now takes his six-year-old to the Philomath branch, even though it has fewer books and other resources for his child to benefit from. What about his rights and those of his child? When libraries start to cater only to the dysfunctional they themselves becomes dysfunctional in that they lose sight of their mission, which is to serve as places of learning and refuge for those who seek knowledge. And many of those people are poor.

Also, if we are genuinely interested in helping the young people who are hanging out on the front steps of the library while going into the library solely to use the restroom, how we are helping them when we make it easier for them to become ever more shiftless? Well-intentioned psychobabble about their rough backgrounds only tars them in the eyes of others as incorrigible messes incapable of acquiring good manners, gainful employment and the means to make it in the workplace or to avail themselves of the blessings of culture and education. How are we helping them by facilitating perpetual boorishness and condemning the library to increasing levels of irrelevance to those who still treasure what libraries once stood for, which among other things was their reputation as places where poor people could gain access to the blessings of books and the kindness of librarians and the firmness of librarians who were not afraid to enforce elementary standards of behavior that helped generations of Americans work their way out of poverty and into a life of their mind?

I feel so strongly on this topic because I was born in Corvallis and one of my earliest memories is going with my mother and slightly older sister to the children's room of the library here. We did not have to run a gauntlet and our mother did not have to give up on taking us there. And we all have seen that public libraries are in trouble and they are in trouble partially because they are choosing to cater to those who want to hang out just outside their doors and not to those who want to enter the premises. There is a world of difference between the young video gamer who might benefit from a gaming night at the public library and a 24-year-old loafer (and yes, I  will use such a word for such things do exist) who likes to bully young mothers and small children.

I spend huge amounts of time on grant-related matters and I could only roll my eyes that one of the proposed solutions to the problems at the hooligans (yes, there are those things too-along with the genuinely mentally ill or those unemployed and desperately looking for work) is to try to find grant money for yet another program to deal with the problem. There is a plethora of programs designed to help the down and out and Corvallis and the kids at the library are free to avail themselves of them. Do we really need to set up yet another to compete for the small amount of funding that they all already have to compete for?

I voted dutifully for the latest levy for our public library just a few weeks ago. But I voted for it because it was intended for fund a library. Next time will voters be so quick to support a library they may have by then come to regard as an expensive institution that puts political correctness above public service and which they no longer visit?

Let us face reality and not sacrifice the working poor on the alter of the rebel without a cause who just wants to hang out.

that we don't have to tear down another library.   There is always more to
an issue than we will ever see reported in the press so how can we make
these kinds of comments without REAL information.  And do you really want us

I know a young lady who lives in Corvallis. She loves books and libraries,
but her enjoyment of the Corvallis Library has been greatly diminished by
those youth who hang around outside. She feels intimidated and scared
walking past them, so much so that she abandoned her idea of volunteering at
the library when she turned 14.

Hi, all. I would like to thank those who have commented on the matter of the entrance to the Corvallis-Benton county and do want to say I am quite dismayed by Diedre Conkling's comments here:


Seriously people, don't we all have enough problems at our own libraries
that we don't have to tear down another library.   There is always more to
an issue than we will ever see reported in the press so how can we make
these kinds of comments without REAL information.  And do you really want us
making these comments about your library in this forum even if we have tons
of real information.



It isn't tearing down a library to express concern at negative publicity about it that one sees in the local newspaper and that is already on the Web. It seems to me to be a legitimate issue and that the matter has generated some worthwhile discussion, from among others Carolyn Rawles-Heiser
Library Director Corvallis--Benton County Public Library, who gave her view of things and who elucidated the matter for the rest of us. Isn't one of the purposes of this forum to serve as a venue for the discussion of such issues and for people like Ms. Rawles-Heiser to hear from people such as Cheryl Hill and her account of the young girl who did indeed feel intimidated at the entrance? It does not behoove us as information professionals to attempt to throttle discussion of interest and concern. Of course, there is more to an issue than is reported in the press. That is the very reason that I brought the matter up--so that librarians could discuss the matter in a calm, informed/edifying fashion and mention facts that were not in the news story I linked to.  Or are we supposed to only read bulletins about legislative matters in the US Congress?

Useful points have been made about what library staff can actually do when it comes to buildings open to the public. That is the value of open discussion on this list.

I, too, enjoyed this discussion and did not have the impression that anyone
was being overly negative or intending to tear anyone down. These are issues
that all of us face at one time or another, in varying degrees (yes, even in
tiny Creswell). This discussion on Libs-OR gave my staff and me an
opportunity to talk about it in our own context.

I hope that Libs-OR can continue to be a forum where we can discuss all
kinds of library-related issues without fear of condemnation or reprisals. I
think it's fine to be tough on ideas as long as we're gentle on people.

Thanks to all who had the courage to speak their mind on this topic.

Sorry,  I guess I should have thought more before posting and then my
message might have been clear.

I think discussing the subject is great as a general topic of discussion.
We might all get good ideas for our libraries.   Even the smallest town can
have problems with skateboards blocking access to libraries and people
hanging directly outside the doors smoking. And any number of other
problems.

Maybe I was misreading but it seemed that one library was really getting
attacked instead of keeping the conversation general and that just seemed
unfair.

I do hope the conversation about how to deal with these general problems
that we all experience.   I really did not mean to stop that productive part
of the conversation.

Hey, you know me. I like talking about any subject even remotely related to
libraries.  ;-)

I look forward to reading more.

What an incredible gracious note Diedre Conkling has written below.


And I think the info from Rebecca Cohen of the Newport Public Library about how smoking policies helped address entrance problems were exactly the kind of thing Diedre means about useful discussion.



And given Diedre's graciousness and Su Liudahl's of the Creswell Library gentle admonitions to be civil I promise to try to be more tactful and less barbed. You are all great etiquette coaches.

Hi, all. I would like to thank those who have commented on the matter of the entrance to the Corvallis-Benton county and do want to say I am quite dismayed by Diedre Conkling's comments here:


Seriously people, don't we all have enough problems at our own libraries
that we don't have to tear down another library.   There is always more to
an issue than we will ever see reported in the press so how can we make
these kinds of comments without REAL information.  And do you really want us
making these comments about your library in this forum even if we have tons
of real information.



It isn't tearing down a library to express concern at negative publicity about it that one sees in the local newspaper and that is already on the Web. It seems to me to be a legitimate issue and that the matter has generated some worthwhile discussion, from among others Carolyn Rawles-Heiser
Library Director Corvallis--Benton County Public Library, who gave her view of things and who elucidated the matter for the rest of us. Isn't one of the purposes of this forum to serve as a venue for the discussion of such issues and for people like Ms. Rawles-Heiser to hear from people such as Cheryl Hill and her account of the young girl who did indeed feel intimidated at the entrance? It does not behoove us as information professionals to attempt to throttle discussion of interest and concern. Of course, there is more to an issue than is reported in the press. That is the very reason that I brought the matter up--so that librarians could discuss the matter in a calm, informed/edifying fashion and mention facts that were not in the news story I linked to.  Or are we supposed to only read bulletins about legislative matters in the US Congress?

Useful points have been made about what library staff can actually do when it comes to buildings open to the public. That is the value of open discussion on this list.

Currently, 21 senators have signed the ?Dear Colleague? letter supporting
library funding.  Fortunately, the deadline for signing was extended
to *Friday,
June 10*.  Please continue to call your senators at (202) 224-3121 for one
final push to get both of your senators to sign this letter.  After they
agree to sign on, please tell them to contact Elyse Wasch in Senator Reed?s
office if they are Democrats or Matthew Hussey in Senator Snowe?s office if
they are Republicans.

Thank you to everyone who has already called their senators, but your help
is still needed.

Below is a list of the senators who have already signed the letter.  If you
do not see your senators? names on this list, please call him or her
immediately and encourage him or her to sign this letter. Tell them about
some of the wonderful programs your public or school library provides in
your state.  Explain to them that libraries took major cuts in FY 2011 ? not
only on the federal level but also on the state and local levels as well.
Without increased FY 2012 funding, libraries will be unable to continue to
provide communities with essential services.

Fundamentals of Government Information will bring ease and effectiveness to this daunting process by providing you with the background knowledge and tools needed to quickly access the very best government information resources. Here, the editors pool their extensive experience to present, in an approachable and well-organized style, the most current online and print government information resources available. You will find models and techniques throughout, as well as more than 50 chapter exercises. Key topics include: Essential government resources, the nature of government information, and government rules and regulations; The court system and judicial law; Statistical resources like the Statistical Abstract of the United States; Health information and PubMed General scientific information and scientific publishing agencies like NASA and the United States Geologic Survey (USGS); Environmental and energy resources from agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy Consumer information from sources such as the Pew Center on the Internet and American Life and Census data.

Interlibrary Loan Practices Handbook, Third Edition<http://www.amazon.com/Interlibrary-Loan-Practices-Handbook-Third/dp/0838910815/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1307577602&sr=1-1>. Chicago: ALA, 2011   025.62 Bouch, 3rd ed.   ISBN 978-0-8389-1081-8

In their definitive new Interlibrary Loan Practices Handbook, editors Weible and Janke clearly explain
the complexities of getting materials for patrons from outside the library. This collection presents a
complete view of the interlibrary loan (ILL) process, with contributions from all areas of the technical
services community, providing
* Guidance on how to do ILL efficiently and effectively, with advice on how to be a considerate
borrower and lender
* Details of preferred staffing and management techniques, showing how best practices can be
implemented at any institution
* Discussion of important issues that can fall between the cracks, such as hidden copyright issues,
and the logistics of lending internationally
Consortia and other library partnerships are now sharing ever larger fractions of their collections, and
this book gives library staff the tools necessary for a smoothly functioning ILL system.


Be sure to check out our Library and Information Science (LIS) blog (http://osl-lis.blogspot.com/) to discover the most recent additions to our LIS collection and search our catalog (http://oregon.gov/OSL/index.shtml) for our complete holdings.

Thank you, Linda and Kimberly.

That was a team effort of the whole committee. Our members created some
wonderful new ideas this year, such as using Google form for reviewers and
booth greeters to sigh up. We are going to use Google form to allow
reviewees to do advance reservation for Annual conference. Advance
reservation has never done before in the history of RRS Committee. I believe
we will get a better result than Midwinter.

Diedre,

Thanks for forwarding that on.   In Newberg, due to a local literacy advocacy group, we've had lots of contact with the Reading Tree people and I appreciate seeing this article.   I  have passed it on to them to ask for an answer regarding their statement that "they haven't had this problem with library groups when they've gone into other markets" .  Obviously they have now and likely have in the past.

I'll keep the group posted on what I learn.

Leah

July 20: Information Cartographer: Social Media Librarians of the Future
Ever wonder if it's too late or too early to bring social media services to your library? Whether you are in a one-person library or one with one hundred staff, social media applications are impacting library services just like the Internet has. But how do you fit social media into your already busy schedule, and is it worth the effort?

July 27: Finding a Legal Comfort Zone on the Web
This webinar is brought to you in collaboration with ALA TechSource and ALA Office for Intellectual Freedom. Allowing the public to contribute to, comment on and otherwise engage with your library's website content can be a scary thought. But it really doesn't have to be that way. Eli Neiburger will present on how to move squeamish colleagues, administrators, or trustees to a point where web initiatives can be understood as less risky than the daily act of unlocking the front doors. Joining Eli will be Barbara Jones from the ALA Office for Intellectual Freedom, who will focus on how the overarching principles of intellectual freedom apply to user engagement, access, and information literacy programming on social media.

How Is Your Library Supporting E-Books?
Many libraries are now at least dabbling in stocking e-books, and some are making them the primary focus for new acquisitions. There are many debates going on about whether e-books are truly replacing print and if it is a good time for libraries to invest in the current mobile devices on the market such as Kindles, iPads, and Nooks. The results of our 2011 survey of WebJunction members show that 29% of respondents from small public libraries have purchased a mobile device in the past year. Is this trend increasing? Tell us what your plans are for this next year by answering this quick poll<http://whatcounts.com/t?r=850&c=2603936&l=56077&ctl=36EBC3B:3093F1F087833EC7A8BE5CCFBC8BFA9073B57ADCC42EF300&>.

I had a wonderful guest author, Katie Kacvinsky, whose first YA novel Awaken came out in May 2011, speak at our Library and at our high schools and middle schools.  She is a fabulous guest speaker - interesting, personable, and free - she wants to speak at libraries and schools at no charge to promote her books.  Her presentation interested adults and teens in the audience as she talked about writing, getting published, and about the plots and characters of her published and upcoming novels.  She asked me to pass along her contact information so she can arrange guest author programs in the Northwest and in other regions as she travels this summer.   She currently lives in Corvallis.  Her e-mail address is: kaz at uwalumni.com<mailto:kaz at uwalumni.com>

Hi all:

Our Friends group went into high gear on this and 2 or 3 of the bins have been removed from Oregon City. In addition, one of their reps visited our Friends bookstore and either already has or will be bringing boxes of the best donations received to our Friends bookstore. Further, one of their reps will be visiting our next monthly Friends meeting.

According to what I've heard, a contractor drops off the bins and may drop off too many for one area, as they did in Oregon City, over-saturating our small area with blue bins. Also, one of the reps actually said that they have had more problems in Oregon than in other states. That is probably because they have not taken the time to communicate with Friends groups ahead of time. Oregon Friends groups responses have been stellar. Way to go, Oregon Friends groups!

Diedre,

Thanks for forwarding that on.   In Newberg, due to a local literacy advocacy group, we've had lots of contact with the Reading Tree people and I appreciate seeing this article.   I  have passed it on to them to ask for an answer regarding their statement that "they haven't had this problem with library groups when they've gone into other markets" .  Obviously they have now and likely have in the past.

I'll keep the group posted on what I learn.

GREAT LEGISLATIVE OPPORTUNITY FOR PUBLIC LIBRARIES

We need your immediate action!

If you live in a state represented by any of these senators, who are members
of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee, please
call them at (202) 224-3121 by 5 pm EDT Tuesday, June 21, and ask them to
include libraries in the soon-to-be released Workforce Investment Act (WIA)
reauthorization legislation.  Also, encourage your senator to contact
Senators Harkin, Murray, Enzi or Isakson (the primary authors of this
legislation) that *these comments are important to them and they want these
changes in the WIA bill. *

On June 22, the Senate HELP Committee will introduce the WIA reauthorization
bill.  Libraries are currently not included in this legislation, but
libraries could benefit from parts of this bill if ALA?s recommended changes
are incorporated into the current draft.

Since this is time-sensitive, calls are far more effective than emails.

Senate HELP Committee Members:

Democrats:
Tom Harkin, Iowa
Barbara Mikulski, Maryland
Jeff Bingaman, New Mexico
Patty Murray, Washington
Bernard Sanders, Vermont
Bob Casey, Pennsylvania
Kay Hagan, North Carolina
Jeff Merkley, Oregon
Al Franken, Minnesota
Michael Bennet, Colorado
Sheldon Whitehouse, Rhode Island
Richard  Blumenthal, Connecticut

Republicans:
Michael Enzi, Wyoming
Lamar Alexander, Tennessee
Richard Burr, North Carolina
Johnny Isakson, Georgia
Rand Paul, Kentucky
Orrin Hatch, Utah
John McCain, Arizona
Pat Roberts, Kansas
Lisa Murkowski, Alaska
Mark Steven Kirk, Illinois

In 2009, 30 million people went to their public libraries to get employment
services, using free public access computers to apply for a job online,
create a resume, practice interview techniques, study for job certification
or learn digital literacy skills.

ALA asked the committee to ensure that public libraries are eligible for
funds for employment and training activities and encourages workforce
operators to partner with public libraries in the comments we submitted to
the Senate HELP
Committee<http://www.districtdispatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/ALA-Letter-and-Stakeholder-Form-for-WIA-Discussion-Draft-June-17-2011.pdf>on
Friday, June 17.   We also want to be on the local and state Workforce
Development Boards. Finally, we want to make sure that digital literacy
skills training is a part of the adult education part of the bill.

For any of our priorities to be added to the bill, they must be supported by
a Senator on the committee.

Ask the staff person you speak with for his or her email address and email
them the link to the ALA?s comments.

Talking Points:

   - 30 million people used library computers and Internet access for
   employment and career purposes
   - We want libraries included under uses of funds for employment and
   training activities
   - Establish employment resource centers in libraries
   - Libraries serve as partners in one-stop delivery system
   - Include public librarians on state and local workforce development
   boards
   - Include digital literacy skills in adult education

** **

Michael Dowling has asked me to alert Councilors to the fact that the
International Relations and Chapter Relations Offices will be taking in
donations at Annual for Haiti, Japan, Alabama, and Missouri.****

** **

This year, we will have two clearly marked donation boxes set up at
Information Booths in the Convention Center. All funds donated will be split
equally between the four relief efforts.****

** **

We provide information about the donation boxes in the Registration Area, in
Cognotes and at the Opening General Session. We will also include flyers
(How and where to make donations) at the Information Booths for those
attendees who would like to make an individual donation to a specific relief
effort.  ****

** **

Alabama and Missouri (Joplin) donations will be used to provide assistance
to librarians who have lost their homes or otherwise been affected by the
recent tornados. The Chapters there have set up their own donation
opportunities, so this is where we will refer interested parties after
conference. Haiti and Japan donations will be used for library
reconstruction. These donations will come through ALA, as we can provide the
most effective conduit for donations outside the United States.****

All proposals for the 2011 show, which will be held in Portland, OR, 
Thursday through
Saturday, October 13-15, must be received in the PNBA office by FRIDAY, 
JUNE 24th.
All educational sessions will be presented on THURSDAY, OCTOBER 13.

In general, the Committee prefers presentations which offer booksellers 
direct instruction
about issues that can immediately and directly help them in the 
operations of their
businesses. They are usually looking for at least one Marketing session 
at each
show. Sessions that highlight the changing face of the book industry 
will be given
priority. Panels that include a wide-range of participants are 
especially attractive.
Usually, presentations that might be perceived as promoting one 
business, or one
company's business with booksellers, are not as well received as those 
that speak
to the industry as a whole.

PNBA is also soliciting proposals for sessions aimed at LIBRARIANS, 
small press
PUBLISHERS and AUTHORS. We are most interested in sessions that 
encourage booksellers,
publishers, librarians and authors to work together. PNBA can help 
provide booksellers
and authors who may be willing to participate as panelists in these 
sessions.

Applicants will be notified by mid-August as to whether or not we will 
be able to
accommodate their proposed sessions.

Proposals to offer educational sessions for Librarians and Booksellers 
during PNBA's
fall show should be sent via email to Thom Chambliss 
[mailto:thom at pnba.org], PNBA's
Executive Director. Proposals to offer education for small press 
Publishers and
for Authors should be sent via email to Ali McCart 
[mailto:amccart at indigoediting.com],
who will be coordinating the schedules for both authors and publishers, 
which will
be given in two different rooms. Ms. McCart has worked at the PNBA shows 
for seven
years, most recently as coordinator of the author meal events. She is 
co-owner of
Indigo Editing & Publications in Portland, and is Indigo's Executive 
Editor and
Director of Business Development.

IMLS Releases Grant Guidelines for Learning Labs in Libraries and Museums

Washington, DC-The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) announces the availability of application guidelines for the "Learning Labs in Libraries and Museums<http://www.imls.gov/about/macarthur.shtm>" project, funded jointly by IMLS and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. This funding initiative is part of President Obama's "Educate to Innovate" campaign, a nationwide effort to bring American students to the forefront in science and math, to provide the workers of tomorrow with the skills they need today, and to re-envision learning in the 21st century.

The program, in partnership with the Urban Libraries Council (ULC) and the Association of Science-Technology Centers (ASTC), will support the planning and design of up to 30 Learning Labs in libraries and museums, based on current research on how young people learn through new media, and building a community of practice around digital learning for youth in out-of-school time settings that are based on current research on how young people learn through new media. The program will also build a community of practice among the grantee institutions.

"America's libraries and museums will become even more powerful innovation hubs for our young people," said IMLS Director Susan Hildreth. "This exciting national collaboration will engage young people in learning that is interest-based, youth-centered, flexible, and collaborative using innovations already taking place in science and technology centers, art museums, libraries, and other cultural institutions."

This partnership underscores the critical role the nation's libraries and museums play in helping citizens build and develop skills in areas such as information, communications and technology literacy, critical thinking, problem solving, creativity, civic literacy, and global awareness.

The program announcement is available on the IMLS Web site at www.imls.gov/about/macarthur.shtm<http://www.imls.gov/about/macarthur.shtm> and through www.grants.gov<http://www.grants.gov>, Funding Opportunity Number LLP-FY11. Proposals must be submitted through www.grants.gov<http://www.grants.gov> no later than August 15, 2011. Awards will be announced in November 2011.

Subject: [Libs-Or] OCLC vendor discounts
Message-ID: <se00769b.050@siuslaw1.siuslaw.lib.or.us>

Does your library use vendor discounts such as the ones OCLC and Lyrasis offer for purchases from Demco, Gaylord, Highsmith, Brodard, etc.?  Did you know that OCLC canceled all vendor discount contracts as of the end of March 2011?  

I spoke with Becky Hurley at OCLC this morning and she said that OCLC thought only a few libraries were using the discounts, so they canceled them.  She said she had only heard from a few libraries since then.  She admitted that OCLC did not have a good way to track the use of those contracts and they had not publicized the change.  

If your library is a member of OCLC and has used their vendor discounts (usually 15-20% off supplies and free shipping), they need to hear from you so that they can revisit this decision.  

Ms Hurley said that she would welcome feedback from the Oregon Library community.  Her email address is hurleyb at oclc.org, and her telephone number is 1-800-848-5878 x4316.

Yes, Lyraris does offer the same vendor discounts, but membership after July 1, 2011 will no longer be free.

Health Issues in the Headlines: Learning to Read Between the Lines

Dark chocolate, red wine, and stem cells - what do these have in common?


All have been reported in the news as having health benefits. Often the 
first place your patrons will hear about health issues is in the media.

This interactive, hands-on CE session will introduce participants to the 
environment of health reporting. Participants will learn about how 
health is reported in the news as well as how to evaluate the accuracy 
and validity of science and health stories. The impact of celebrity 
illness will also be discussed. By the end of this session, participants 
will be better equipped to help their patrons look more critically at 
health issues that are being reported in the news media. Actual news 
articles and research reports will be included for critique.

U.S. IMPACT Study Second Report

Opportunity for All: How Library Policies and Practices Impact Public Internet Access

Washington, DC?Public libraries have become essential points of access to the Internet and computers in local communities, with nearly every library in the country offering public internet access. Yet, individual library practices can have significant affect on the quality and character of this public service. Opportunity for All: How Library Policies and Practices Impact Public Internet Access<http://www.imls.gov/pdf/OppForAll2.pdf>, offers an analysis of the service in four public library systems and makes recommendations for strategies that help to sustain and improve public access service. The report was funded through a partnership between the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Institute of Museum and Library Services and was produced by the University of Washington Information School.

Libraries play a vital role in providing services that are necessary in everyday life. The recommendations from this study provide a foundation to discuss the wide range of internal and external policy issues that affect the quality, efficiency and effectiveness of the types of library resources and environments most patrons encounter in U.S. public libraries.

?This study identifies important best practices that can help libraries improve patron experience and contribute to positive learning outcomes,? said IMLS Director Susan Hildreth. ?This report will be very useful for educating the public and provides actionable recommendations for policymakers and funders as they consider future efforts in this area.?

Report recommendations highlight the need to:
Integrate Technology Services with Other Public Library Services
Incorporate Activity-Based Budgeting to Help Account for the Cost of Public Access Services
Provide Ongoing Technical Training for Library Staff
Formalize Relationships with Community-Based Organizations
Establish a Set of Common Indicators for Public Library Technology Services
Use Data and Stories to Communicate the Value of Public Access Technology
Leverage Library Technology Resources to Enhance Broadband Adoption and Support

The report's findings are based on 300 interviews with staff, users, funding agencies, community-based organizations, and support organizations in four case study sites:

Enoch Pratt Free Library<http://www.prattlibrary.org/>, Baltimore, Maryland
Fayetteville Public Library<http://www.faylib.org/>, Fayetteville, Arkansas
Oakland Public Library<http://www.oaklandlibrary.org/>, Oakland, California
Marshalltown Public Library<http://www.marshalltownlibrary.org/>, Marshalltown, Iowa

?The libraries featured in this study reflect the service environments encountered by the vast majority of library patrons across the country. We hope that all libraries will recognize themselves in the characteristics of the case studies and be able to identify policy implications related to their operations from the discussions in the report,? said Michael Crandall, senior lecturer at the University of Washington Information School and co-principal investigator of the study.

This second report is a companion volume to the first report in the U.S. IMPACT Study, Opportunity for All: How the American Public Benefits from Internet Access at U.S. Libraries<http://www.imls.gov/pdf/OpportunityForAll.pdf>. That report estimated that 77 million people used a library computer in 2009 and that:

  *   40% of the library computer users(an estimated 30 million people) used library resources to help address career and employment needs
  *   42% (32.5 million people) used library resources to help them with their education and training needs
  *   28 million people (37% of library computer users) made use of technology at their local libraries to access health and wellness information

The full report is available at http://tascha.washington.edu/usimpact.

[book1.jpg]Gorman. Michael.  Broken Pieces: a Library Life, 1941-1978. Chicago: ALA, 2011.  020.92 Gorma     ISBN 978-0-8389-1104-4
>From his earliest reading memories in wartime Britain through five decades of librarianship, eminent librarian and former ALA President Michael Gorman offers insights from his extraordinary career in this new memoir.  Gorman relates his personal and professional journey in prose that is by turns charming, opinioned, and revealing. He made perhaps his most significant contribution to librarianship as editor of the 1978 Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, a major development that receives detailed attention here. The debates and arguments that would shape professional practice for years to come are dramatically presented, with a vivid cast of characters including leading librarians from two continents. Broken Pieces, Gorman s account of being on the front lines of many of the most important decisions made in librarianship during his career, is a timely and entertaining read.

Subject: [Libs-Or] OLA Quarterly Fall edition: Call for Writers
Message-ID: <BD4C311C13B5EF47A964C35CD21DC574187F339B@WSMBX02.uwsnet.net>

Service is a word that brings many things to mind. There's service to community, country, God, and mankind. We all receive service; both good and bad. We in the library community, perhaps as much as any profession there is, are in the business of "service".
What comes to your mind when you hear the word "service"? How does the concept of service affect your work, your life?

In a different direction, how do we define service quality? Can we? Do libraries offer a unique flavor of service?  Does service mean something different to us by generations? Is it defined by our circumstances such as region or economic status?

Share your thoughts, musings, perhaps... grumblings, about this open-ended word Service that has such impact on our lives for the Fall edition of the OLA Quarterly.

Please send a brief summary (250 words or less) of your proposed article by July 8, 2010 to Janet Tapper (guest editor/ Fall) at jtapper at uws.edu.
I will notify authors no later than July 15 and articles will be due by August 1, 2011. Publication is September 15, 2011.

I would especially appreciate participation from librarians and paraprofessionals from Central and Eastern Oregon and special libraries everywhere.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

How can your patrons submit ILL requests - in-person, phone, online?
How do you handle shipping/other pass-through charges?
What wording do you use on your forms/websites to explain these fees? 
Can your patrons set maximum amounts they are willing to pay?  What happens if an item costs more than the set maximum?

The latest news and events from the OCLC cooperative

      Announcement of Jay Jordan's retirement plans


Greetings:

At the OCLC President?s Luncheon today in New Orleans, I announced that Jay
Jordan will retire as President and CEO on Jun 30, 2012.

As I stated in the attached news release, Jay wanted to give us sufficient
notice to provide time for a thorough search and a smooth transition for his
successor.

The Board is forming a search committee that will conduct an international
search for the fifth President and CEO of OCLC. The composition of the
Committee will be announced in the near future.

We will recognize and celebrate Jay?s significant contributions to the OCLC
cooperative in the coming year.

In the meantime, as you might surmise, Jay intends to press on with the
implementation of new Web-scale services and continue to work hard on behalf
of the OCLC cooperative. Below is the text of the news release that OCLC
will distribute shortly.

Larry Alford
Chair
OCLC Board of Trustees

Jay Jordan to retire as OCLC President and CEO


*New Orleans, Louisiana, June 27, 2011*?Jay Jordan will retire as President
and CEO of OCLC Online Computer Library Center on June 30, 2012.

The announcement was made today  by OCLC Board Chair Larry Alford at the
OCLC President?s Luncheon during the Annual Conference of the American
Library Association in New Orleans, Louisiana.

"Jay Jordan has informed the OCLC Board of Trustees of his desire to retire
as President and CEO in June 2012," said Mr. Alford.  "Jay wanted to give us
sufficient advance notice to provide time for a thorough search and a smooth
transition for his successor. The Board is forming a search committee and is
preparing to launch an international search for the fifth President and CEO
of OCLC."

"Jay Jordan has presided over a period of remarkable growth and innovation
during his 13 years at OCLC," said Mr. Alford. "Under his transformative
leadership, OCLC has moved in new and exciting directions to fulfill its
public purpose of furthering  access to the world?s information and reducing
the rate of rise of library costs."

"Today is not a farewell," said Mr. Alford. "We will recognize and celebrate
Jay?s contributions to the cooperative in the coming year. In the meantime,
it will be business as usual, and with Jay Jordan, that means full speed
ahead."

In his remarks at the OCLC President?s Luncheon, Mr. Jordan stated: "It has
been an honor to serve the OCLC cooperative. OCLC is an exceptional
organization with an active and committed membership and a dedicated staff.
OCLC?s Founder Fred Kilgour was fond of saying that OCLC was like the first
flight of the Wright Brothers?12 seconds off the ground.  That was 40 years
ago. Today, our new WMS services are just getting off the ground, and I look
forward to handing off to my successor a strong organization with an
exciting set of opportunities."

According to Mr. Alford, the composition of the Search Committee will be
announced in the near future.

OCLC has had four presidents since its founding in 1967:

   - Frederick G. Kilgour (1967-1980)
   - Rowland C. W. Brown (1980-1989)
   - K. Wayne Smith (1989-1998)
   - Jay Jordan (1998-)

 Mr. Jordan, 68, became OCLC?s fourth President and CEO on May 8, 1998.
Since then, the number of libraries participating in the OCLC cooperative
has grown from 30,000 to more than 72,000. The number of participating
institutions outside the U.S. has increased from 3,200 in 64 countries to
16,215 in 170 countries. At the same time, the OCLC cooperative has become
global in its governance, with regional councils in the Americas, Asia
Pacific and Europe, the Middle East and Africa sending delegates to a new
Global Council.

Since 1998, the WorldCat bibliographic database has grown from 38 million
records to more than 240 million, and the number of location listings
attached to those records has increased from 668 million to more than 1.7
billion. In 2006, WorldCat became available to people everywhere on the
Internet.

Under Mr. Jordan?s leadership, OCLC built a new technological platform,
introduced new Web-scale services and created a library advocacy program.
Here are highlights of OCLC?s accomplishments since 1998:

   - OCLC Connexion cataloging service launched on new technological
   platform (2002)

   Congress) launched (2002)

   bibliographic databases to the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic
   Records (FRBR) model (2003)

   WorldCat (2005)

   collection, is introduced (2008)

   - WorldCat became available on mobile devices (2009)
   - WorldCat Digital Collection Gateway launched (2009)
   - OCLC Web-scale Management Services began operation (2010)

 Since 1998, OCLC has expanded its offerings through mergers and
acquisitions and focused operations through divestitures:

   - WLN merged with OCLC; the WLN union catalog merged with WorldCat; about
   550 libraries in the Pacific Northwest and Canada became OCLC members (1999)
   - In 1999, OCLC acquired Public Affairs Information Service (PAIS) and
   divested it in 2004.
   - RLG merged with OCLC; Research Library Partnership created (2006)
   - OCLC acquired Openly Informatics (2006)
   - OCLC Europe, the Middle East and Africa created through merger of PICA
   B.V. (The Netherlands) and the former OCLC office based in Birmingham, U.K.
   The new organization provides library management systems as well as OCLC
   services.(2002)
   - OCLC acquired DiMeMa, Inc., developer of CONTENTdm digital collection
   management software (2006)
   - OCLC acquired these library management systems: SISIS (2005);
   Fretwell-Downing Informatics (2005); Amlib (2008); BOND (2011)

   2010
   - In 2009, OCLC divested Preservation Service Center, which was acquired
   in 1990.

 OCLC has also fostered strategic alliances with a number of organizations
to make libraries and their collections more visible on the Internet,
including HathiTrust, Google, Microsoft, OAIster and Yahoo!

Hi MaryKay,

We have a FREE workshop scheduled for July 26 in Camas. Since the workshop is not full, I'd like to invite Oregon staff, could you please share as appropriate? Thanks!

Here's the info:

Health Issues in the Headlines: Learning to Read Between the Lines
July 26, 8:30 a.m.-12:00 p.m. Camas Public Library
July 26, 1:30-5:00 p.m. Camas Public Library
Dark chocolate, red wine, and stem cells - what do these have in common?
All have been reported in the news as having health benefits. Often the first place your patrons will hear about health issues is in the media.
This interactive, hands-on CE session will introduce participants to the environment of health reporting. Participants will learn about how health is reported in the news as well as how to evaluate the accuracy and validity of science and health stories. The impact of celebrity illness will also be discussed. By the end of this session, participants will be better equipped to help their patrons look more critically at health issues that are being reported in the news media. Actual news articles and research reports will be included for critique.

Myth vs. Fact: Who are Today's Library Computer Users?

A Demographic Analysis of Public Access Computer Users and Uses in U.S. Public Libraries

[image of the cover of the brief]<http://www.imls.gov/pdf/Brief2011_04.pdf>Washington, DC-Public access computers in U.S. public libraries continue to be in high demand according to Who is in the Queue: Public Access Computer Users<http://www.imls.gov/../../pdf/Brief2011_04.pdf>, a new research brief by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). The report dispels some myths that have lingered regarding the target service population for public access computers in U.S. public libraries. It also provides a demographic analysis of public access computer users and uses and demonstrates that public libraries are providing much more than basic technology access.

"This study challenges commonly held perceptions about library users and demonstrates public libraries' role in the global information economy," said Susan Hildreth, IMLS Director. "Libraries are constantly reinventing themselves to meet the ever-changing information needs of their communities."

The report examines trends in library computer use according to demographic characteristics. Eight major categories of activities were examined: social connections/communications, education, employment, health and wellness, government and legal, community engagement, managing finances, and entrepreneurship.

Select Findings and Background Information:

Myth: Library computer users are a small segment of the population.
Fact: One third of the American public used a library computer in 2009. Public access computer users largely mirror the general public in terms of age and education. Libraries are at the crossroads of the community serving and young and old, rich and poor, people with little formal education as well as those with graduate degrees.

Myth: People who use library computers to access the internet are less likely to have access to computers and the Internet at home.
Fact: The majority of library public access computer users (86 percent) reported they had "regular access to a computer and the Internet for your personal use" at home. That is not to say that the remaining fourteen percent of users (8,340,722) do not have significant public access computing service needs. People who lacked home access were frequent users, with 65 percent reporting that they used computers and the internet in the library at least once a week or daily.

Myth: Libraries are just for kids and books.
Fact: In addition to providing books and children's programs, libraries are places for people to explore new technologies, check out new music, eBooks, videos and a variety of other resources. People of all ages make use of library computers for a wide range needs. In 2009 an estimated 77 million people over the age of 14 used library computers. Young people between 14-19 were most likely to be using computers for educational purposes, users between the ages 25-54 were focused on employment and training, and older adults focused on health information.

Public access computing is not a temporary community service whose need will fall away as more people gain access in their homes. People with access at home and without access at home are going to the library to complete school assignments, to find a job, to learn more about health and wellness issues, and much more.Libraries have responded to demand by increasing financial investments in hardware, subscription databases and computing infrastructure. Between 2000 and 2007 alone the availability of Internet terminals in public libraries increased by 90 percent on a per capita basis.

Over the past decade policy discussions about public access computing in libraries have focused on the role that these institutions play in bridging the digital divide. It is clear that bridging the digital divide and encouraging broadband adoption and use is an important role for the library. However the library is much more than a stop gap solution for those who don't have access at home or work.

About the Data
This newly released research brief relies on data compiled for U.S. Impact Study, which was conducted by the University of Washington in summer of 2009 and funded by IMLS and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The mixed method national survey was administered at the point-of-service in public libraries across the country via a web-based tool and as a national household survey. There were over 48,000 respondents to the study in the public data file. This data set provides information on the demographics of respondents and the nature of their public access computer use.

The brief also analyzed data from the Current Population Survey (CPS), a monthly survey of households conducted by the Bureau of Census for the Bureau of Labor Statistics. It provides a comprehensive body of data on the labor force, employment, unemployment, persons not in the labor force, hours of work, earnings, and other demographic and labor force characteristics. The 2009 computer use data was collected through a supplement to the CPS. The survey has included questions on Internet use since 1997.

About the Institute of Museum and Library Services
The Institute of Museum and Library Services is the primary source of federal support for the nation's 123,000 libraries and 17,500 museums. The Institute's mission is to create strong libraries and museums that connect people to information and ideas.

Ten Tips for Basic Cataloging with Melissa Powell (LE at D)

Making information accessible is the key to a relevant library. You
are handed materials and asked to make it easy for people miles away
to find them. The power a simple, accurate, and concise record has to
draw a straight line from the question to the answer is amazing!  It
doesn't need to be complicated, and the logic in it is beautiful.
Learn some tips that might help improve a new cataloger's competence
and confidence, whether you are that new cataloger, or someone who
supervises or trains new catalogers. Did you know you can break the
rules? That the age of the reader counts?  That there are times when
you should not catalog? And sometimes, simple is better?

July 13 (9-10 am)
What's Happening with Genre Headings? (Nebraska Library Commission)

Genre headings can be very useful in library catalogs in order to let
patrons search for particular types of items. In May of this year, the
Library of Congress changed how its genre headings are handled,
separating them from subject headings and establishing a separate
thesaurus, the Library of Congress Genre/Form Terms for Library and
Archival Materials (LCGFT). In this session, Emily Nimsakont, the
NLC's Cataloging Librarian, will give an overview of how genre
headings are used and discuss the effects of this decision by the
Library of Congress.

July 20 (10-11 am)
How to Identify and Manage Critical Project Risks (American Management
Association)

In this Webcast you'll discover ways to understand when it's a good
idea to manage a risk and when it may not be. It's obvious that doing
something about a risk that actually occurs makes sense. Doing nothing
for a risk that does not happen is also sensible (or perhaps just
lucky).  However, some risk management we undertake will ultimately
prove to be unnecessary and some risks we choose to accept may lead to
disaster.  Project managers must use qualitative and quantitative
assessment techniques to rank order risks, and then work out responses
to deal with the ones that warrant the effort. To improve the
effectiveness of your efforts, you must carefully consider each
identified project risk in terms of history and impact and
particularly in consideration with your tolerance for consequences.

July 20 (12-1 pm)
Information Cartographer: Social Media Librarians of the Future (WebJunction)

Ever wonder if it's too late or too early to bring social media
services to your library? Whether you are in a one-person library or
one with one hundred staff, social media applications are impacting
library services just like the Internet has. But how do you fit social
media into your already busy schedule, and what has to change to make
that possible? Will enough of your patrons use your new services to
make it worth the effort? Come hear from a library that has
successfully "operationalized" its social media services and actually
has fun in the process. Join Stephanie Bents, digital services
librarian, and Greta Chapman, director of the Rapid City Public
Libraries, recognized by USA Today as one of the top libraries in the
U.S.

Brain Bandwidth: Reducing Cognitive Load (insynctraining)

Trainers and instructional designers know that much instruction simply
places too many demands on learners in terms of volume, clarity, and
memory. This session provides an overview of cognitive load
considerations in instructional design. Particular emphasis is placed

overloading the recipient's ability to receive, process, and
understand the information (i.e., their "brain bandwidth").

July 27 (9-10 am)
Voice of the Customer: Designing Library Services to Meet User
Expectations (Nebraska Library Commission)

Information seekers have unprecedented avenues to acquire information,
many of which do not involve the library. Unless users can see an
immediate benefit in time, effort, and quality, they will continue to
use the avenues from their "real" lives instead of venturing into the
library space. Voice of the Customer is a Bellevue University
initiative which identifies the expectations of the student and calls
for a change to the institutional environment. This is a top-down call
to action. Come learn how the library is meeting the call to become
more user focused. Speakers: Robin Bernstein, Casey Kralik, and Becky
Wymer, Bellevue University.

July 27 (12-1 pm)
Finding a Legal Comfort Zone on the Web (WebJunction)

Allowing the public to contribute to, comment on and otherwise engage
with your library's website content can be a scary thought, fraught
with bogeymen real and imagined, lined with both success and horror
stories, and seemingly paved with difficult policy decisions. But it
really doesn't have to be that way. Eli Neiburger will present on how
to move squeamish colleagues, administrators, or trustees to a point
where web initiatives can be understood as less risky than the daily
act of unlocking the front doors. He will demonstrate how to structure
engagement on the web so that it doesn't require another written
policy.  Joining Eli will be Barbara Jones from the ALA Office for
Intellectual Freedom, who will focus on how the overarching principles
of intellectual freedom apply to user engagement, access, and
information literacy programming on social media. She will show how
these new and sometimes intimidating technologies do fit the
intellectual freedom and privacy principles that American Library
Association has embedded in the Library Bill of Rights and Its
Interpretations. Barbara will provide examples of how these very
idealistic statements can be reflected in practical policy statements
and inform best practices at the local level.

Subject: Union catalog question

Hello All,

I work with a multi-type union catalog and am curious how others in this situation deal with or are planning on dealing with ebooks in their union catalogs and stay within whatever licensing restrictions come with that access/service?

For instance, Sylvan Dell Publishing has several ebook packages, nicely provide the marc records with customized 856 links, but in a union catalog (at least ours) those titles basically are available to any guest who can find them.  Not to mention if several members purchase the same package, there end up being multiple mark records.

This is a new problem and thus far we've had some mixed opinions about how to handle it, so I'm just hoping for some additional input from others.

Thanks you advance,
Kendra
