MaryKay Dahlgreen presented the recommendation to the Board as a way to provide more reliable service to the libraries that depend on these websites being always available. After the initial startup cost is paid, the cost of remote hosting is estimated to be lower than hosting the sites in-house. In other business the Board voted to support HB 2649 that would create an interim committee to study school library services in the state and HB 2859 that would establish an interim committee to study the preservation of heritage resources in the state. The Board's support will be contingent on support from the Governor's Office for the bills. The Board also saw a demonstration by Board member Aletha Bonebrake of the new Evergreen integrated library system that serves the Sage Library Network in Eastern Oregon. The next meeting of the Board will be held on Wednesday, April 6th, at the State Library in Salem. STATE LIBRARIAN ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT AT THE END OF 2011 At the February 7th Board meeting, the State Librarian announced to the Board that he planned to retire from his post at the end of the year. Scheppke has been the Oregon State Librarian for 20 years and has worked at the State Library for 25 years. He had previously told the Board that he planned to retire at the end of 2012, however, he explained that he decided to change his plans, in part to allow the new State Librarian to better participate in planning for the 2013-15 biennium. State Library Board Chair Sue Burkholder will work with the Library's Human Resources Manager, Diane Ballard, to begin to develop a process to recruit the new Oregon State Librarian. Burkholder noted at the meeting that she had some experience in this, having served on the selection committee when Scheppke was hired 20 years ago. State Library News ASSISTANCE AVAILABLE FOR LIBRARY SUPPORT STAFF CERTIFICATION PROGRAM The Support Staff Division of the Oregon Library Association (OLA) and the Oregon State Library are offering financial assistance to library support staff applying for certification in the American Library Association's Library Support Staff Certification (LSSC) Program. The LSSC Program offers library employees the opportunity to achieve recognition for their experience, enhance library service, and increase skills and knowledge in areas like the foundations of librarianship, technology, and communication. The LSSC Program is funded by a grant to ALA from the federal Institute for Museum and Library Services, and managed by the ALA-Allied Professional Association. The Registration Assistance Awards of one-half of the registration fee are part of this grant. The Support Staff Division of OLA and the Oregon State Library will be offering four Registration Assistance Awards this spring. The Awards are for $175, one-half of the LSSC registration/application fee. Successful award recipients will be asked to pay the remainder of the registration fee with their own funds or funds obtained from other sources. An application form to apply for the Registration Assistance Awards is available from the Support Staff Division of OLA on their website: http://www.olaweb.org/mc/page.do?sitePageId=61036. The deadline to submit the application is May 6, 2011. Support staff from all types of libraries are invited to apply. The recipients of the Award will be chosen by a random drawing before May 25, 2011. GET HELP WITH YOUR LIBRARY SERVICES AND TECHNOLOGY ACT GRANT PROPOSAL The application packet for FY2012 grant proposals is available on the web through the LSTA Competitive Grant Program page. Short proposals are due April 22, 2011. If you are working on an idea for a grant, feel free to contact Ann Reed at (503) 378-5027 or email ann.reed at state.or.us. We can answer any questions you may have and be a good sounding board for your idea. Other Library News PRESIDENT OBAMA PROPOSES REDUCED FUNDING FOR LIBRARIES On February 14th President Obama released his budget recommendations for FY 2012 that begins in October of this year. His recommendation for the Library Services and Technology Act grants to states was $161,345,000, a reduction of $11.2 million (- 6.5%) from the funding anticipated for FY 2011 (the Congress has not completed their work on the FY 2011 budget). His recommendation for the entire budget of the Institute of Museum and Library Services, of which LSTA funding is a part, was $242,605,000, a 14% reduction from the anticipated FY 2011 budget. According to figures released by IMLS, Oregon's allotment of LSTA funds under the President's proposal is estimated at $2,224,535, about $135,000 less than Oregon expects to receive for FY 2011. "We are disappointed that the President proposes to cut federal library funding at a time when the demand for library services has never been greater," said State Librarian Jim Scheppke. ATTORNEY GENERAL'S PUBLIC RECORDS REFORMS PRESERVE LIBRARY EXEMPTIONS Oregon Attorney General John Kroger has proposed House Bill 3319 as part of his efforts to reform Oregon public records laws and make government more transparent. The bill would eliminate the exemptions from disclosure for some public records that are currently exempt. However, the exemptions that have been part of state law for many years for libraries remain in place in Kroger's bill. The library records exemptions are included in Section 40 of the bill in a section called "Personal Privacy." The exempted records include library circulation records, the name, address, telephone number, and email address of a library patron. Assuming these exemptions continue in state law, libraries are not required to disclose these records in response to a public records request. Every library should have a policy in place that details under what circumstances library records might be disclosed. The State Library website has an Attorney General's Letter of Advice from 1995 that describes the need for libraries to set policy about disclosure of library records. STATE LIBRARIANS PASS RESOLUTION OPPOSING "EXCLUSIVES" At their January 7th meeting, the Chief Officers of State Library Agencies, representing state libraries in the 50 states and the District of Columbia, passed a resolution expressing opposition to the growing practice of publishers giving exclusive contracts to their content on the Web. Examples of this are the exclusive contracts for content from the Harvard Business Review and Consumer Reports. Recently all of the content from Time, Inc. was awarded under an exclusive contract. The Harvard Business Review and Consumer Reports are unavailable to Oregon library users of the Gale databases, because Gale does not have the exclusive contract. The COSLA resolution states that "provider exclusives will serve only to increase the cost of providing services and [will] limit access to licensed content." COSLA "supports multiple distribution channels for licensed content, opposes exclusive contracts ... and support[s] competition through innovative methods for delivery and use of licensed content." MULTNOMAH AND NEWPORT LIBRARIES OFFER FREE MUSIC DOWNLOADS The Oregonian reported that two Oregon public libraries now offer free music downloads from a service called Freegal. The service provides downloads from the Sony catalog of about a half million tunes. Library cardholders can download up to three songs a week in the MP3 format that can be played on a variety of devices. The Seattle Public Library began offering the service in January and logged 12,300 downloads in the first three weeks. They told the Oregonian that library card requests have spiked since they announced the service, bringing new users to the library. Multnomah County Library is paying $87,000 for a six month trial of the service. P.S. (From the State Librarian) In these days of growing fiscal austerity at all levels of government, it's important to be able to communicate to citizens the cost and value of the services they pay for. When it comes to public libraries, this has been attempted in a number of ways. On our Plinkit websites we have a value calculator that we borrowed from Maine. So if, for example, you check out six books a month and ask one reference question, the calculator tells you that is worth $97. That's interesting, but the information lacks a context. If you don't know what you're paying, you don't know if this is a good deal or not. To create that context you might turn to the annual statistics for Oregon public libraries that we publish on our website. We report on the annual per capita expenditures on public library services for each library, and an average for the state. In FY 2010 the average per capita expenditures for the state was $48.35. There is a temptation to use this number to calculate what the average household pays for library service. So, for example, you might want to multiply $48.35 by the number of people in an average household to estimate the per household cost of public library services in the state. This would be a mistake. Why? Because households aren't the only generators of property tax revenue. Businesses, apartments, and farms, etc., pay property taxes too. Per capita expenditures is a good way to compare what different communities are spending on libraries, but it shouldn't be used to determine what households are paying for their service. The only way to determine what (owner-occupied) households are paying for public libraries is to apply the property tax rate for a given library to the assessed value of a residence. The State Library has analyzed this from time to time. The last time we did this a few years ago, it turned out that the average household in Oregon was paying $0.57 per $1,000 of assessed valuation for public library services. If you take the median assessed value of a residence in Oregon of about $132,600 (January, 2010), and if that household was paying the average cost of public library services, they would be paying about $76 a year or about $6.30 a month. But again, I think more context is needed. Jamie LaRue, who is the library director in Douglas County, Colorado, demonstrates how this can be done in a recent blog post. When he talks to community groups he asks them how much they spend a month for their broadband service (answer: $30 to $80 a month). He asks them how much they spend for cable or satellite TV service (answer: $50 to $300). How much do they spend for cell phone service ($30 to $150)? How much do they spend for Netflix ($9 to $25)? Then he asks, "And what good do these costs do your community?" The answer, of course, is nothing. Now the value and cost of the public library, at say, $6.30 a month, comes into better focus. - Jim Scheppke Contacts at the Oregon State Library Library Development: 503-378-2525, MaryKay Dahlgreen, Mary Mayberry, Darci Hanning, Ann Reed, Jennifer Maurer, Katie Anderson.

While obviously we don't agree with your conclusion, we do agree with your statements regarding the importance of libraries as customers for publishers and as bedrocks of our local communities. I'm attaching a statement that puts our decision into more context. Please review and let me know your further thoughts. Sincerely, Josh Marwell President of Sales HarperCollins Publishers From: Bob Jones [mailto:Bob.Jones at milton-freewater-or.gov] Sent: Friday, February 25, 2011 3:49 PM To: Marwell, Josh Subject: New Pricing Structure for Downloadable Books Mr. Marwell: It has come to my attention you have decided to change your pricing policy for downloadable books sold to libraries. Under the new scheme use will be limited to 26 circulations, after which the library must re-purchase the item. This may seem to you to be a very good idea, but it is in fact a very short-sighted and greedy idea. Let me tell you why. Libraries are very good customers for publishers. They buy lots of books day in and day out, year after year. For certain book categories (poetry and reference books come to mind) libraries are your major customers. Without them you would not have enough sales of such books to justify publishing them at all. Libraries are a cornerstone of our democracy, providing access to information not elsewhere available or affordable to millions of people. Libraries are chronically underfunded and must watch their expenditures carefully. Your company watches its expenses in order to maximize returns to shareholders. Libraries strive to return not monetary profits, but educational, instructional, and entertainment benefits to the public, especially to people who cannot afford to buy books. They can ill afford to fatten the wallets of greedy publishers or their greedy shareholders. If 10,000 libraries declined to buy a new bestseller, you might hardly miss the lost sales. But if they decided to not purchase ANY book in ANY format from ANY HarperCollins imprint, I think that would get your attention because it would have a significant negative impact on your sales and your bottom line. I'm sure you wouldn't want to see that happen. As your new policy seems totally indefensible to me as a librarian, responsible for the wise use of taxpayer dollars, I must inform you that, effective immediately, my library will not purchase anything from your company until this new grab for money is rescinded. I will encourage other librarians nationwide to follow my example. We simply can't afford to do business with you. It would be an irresponsible use of public funds. While we strive to provide the materials our patrons want, we will simply have to inform them why we cannot submit to this form of extortion on the part of a profitable corporation. Very sincerely yours, Robert A. Jones Library Director Milton-Freewater Public Library Milton-Freewater, Oregon 10 East 53rd Street New York, N.Y 10022-5200 Telephone: 212 207-7000 Fax: 212 207-7909 HarperCollins Publishers March 1, 2010 HarperCollins is committed to libraries and recognizes that they are a crucial part of our local communities. We count on librarians reading our books and spreading the word about our authors' good works. Our goal is to continue to sell e-books to libraries, while balancing the challenges and opportunities that the growth of e-books presents to all who are actively engaged in buying, selling, lending, promoting, writing and publishing books. We are striving to find the best model for all parties. Guiding our decisions is our goal to make sure that all of our sales channels, in both print and digital formats, remain viable, not just today but in the future. Ensuring broad distribution through booksellers and libraries provides the greatest choice for readers and the greatest opportunity for authors' books to be discovered. Our prior e-book policy for libraries dates back almost 10 years to a time when the number of e-readers was too small to measure. It is projected that the installed base of e-reading devices domestically will reach nearly 40 million this year. We have serious concerns that our previous e-book policy, selling e-books to libraries in perpetuity, if left unchanged, would undermine the emerging e-book eco-system, hurt the growing e-book channel, place additional pressure on physical bookstores, and in the end lead to a decrease in book sales and royalties paid to authors. We are looking to balance the mission and needs of libraries and their patrons with those of authors and booksellers, so that the library channel can thrive alongside the growing e-book retail channel. We spent many months examining the issues before making this change. We talked to agents and distributors, had discussions with librarians, and participated in the Library Journal e-book Summit and other conferences. Twenty-six circulations can provide a year of availability for titles with the highest demand, and much longer for other titles and core backlist. If a library decides to repurchase an e-book later in the book's life, the price will be significantly lower as it will be pegged to a paperback price point. Our hope is to make the cost per circulation for e-books less than that of the corresponding physical book. In fact, the digital list price is generally 20% lower than the print version, and sold to distributors at a discount. We invite libraries and library distributors to partner with us as we move forward with these new policies. We look forward to ongoing discussions about changes in this space and will continue to look to collaborate on mutually beneficial opportunities.

At issue in the case was information gathered by the FCC during an investigation of AT&T?s participation in the E-rate program, a federal telecommunications discount-based program for public libraries and schools. In December of 2004, the parties reached an agreement to resolve allegations the FCC made against AT&T on overcharging the government. Some time later, COMPTEL, a trade group that represented some AT&T competitors, filed a FOIA request for information the FCC had collected on AT&T during their investigate In response, AT&T filed suit and claiming that as a corporation it had a reasonable expectation of ?personal privacy? and thus the FOIA request was not applicable. In writing the unanimous opinion of the court, Chief Justice Stevens offered up an educational, and somewhat cheeky, lesson on the English language in his opinion, writing, ?The protection of FOIA against disclosure of law enforcement on the ground that it would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy does not extend to corporations. We trust that AT&T will not take it personally.? http://www.wo.ala.org/districtdispatch/?p=5729 -- *Diedre Conkling** Lincoln County Library District P.O.

The President signed the bill yesterday, which makes $4 billion in cuts but will fund the government for another two weeks at until March 18, 2011. In this recently passed short-term CR, several U.S. Department of Education programs were eliminated, including some literacy programs such as Striving Readers ($250 million), Even Start ($66.5 million), and Reading is Fundamental ($24.8 million). However, Improving Literacy Through School Libraries was one of the education programs that were not cut. This program, which was last appropriated at $19.1 million, provides school libraries with up-to-date materials and will be funded at its current level for another next two weeks. It is clear that everyone?s efforts in contacting their senators and congressional representatives have an effect; however, we are a long way from protecting this program for the remainder of FY2011. This short-term CR will run out on March 18, and the U.S. House of Representatives sent a bill (H.R. 1) to the Senate two weeks ago that would eliminate funding for Improving Literacy Through School Libraries for FY 2011. Please continue to put pressure on your elected officials to continue library funding. We may have earned a first down with this short-term CR, but we are a long ways from winning the game! http://www.wo.ala.org/districtdispatch/?p=5736 -- *Diedre Conkling** Lincoln County Library District P.O.

This month we have news about our new Broadband Stories from the Field site, a TechSoup Product Spotlight, information about upcoming webinars, our TechSoup Global Contributors' Summit, and a survey winner. You received this email because you participated in a webinar, contributed content, ordered products, or were interested in resources from TechSoup. BTOP Stories from the Field The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) provided billions of grants to support broadband infrastructure in the United States, expand public computer center capacity, and encourage sustainable adoption of broadband service. Many communities and libraries are currently implementing grants under BTOP, the Broadband Technology Opportunities Program. TechSoup is supporting these efforts, and our newest resource is Broadband: Stories from the Field. While developing this site, we interviewed both library and nonprofit BTOP grant recipients as part of a Surdna Foundation grant. The resulting Broadband: Stories from the Field site includes articles, guest blog posts from grantees, webinars, and videos that represent the experiences of BTOP grantees and respond to their particular needs. We've organized these resources into six categories: * Collaborations and Partnerships[Broadband Wiki Banner] * Hiring and Training Staff * Tools, Policies, and Resources * Training the Public * Why Does Broadband Matter? * Assessment In addition to browsing this site, you can join the Broadband Now mailing list and share your projects, questions, and experiences with BTOP grantees. We've also had a lot of guest blog posts, most notably from Alice Loy, who works for a nonprofit that is partnering with libraries in New Mexico. TechSoup Product Spotlight: Public Libraries and Bulk Purchasing Public libraries and nonprofits can request donated brand-new software and hardware at savings of 80-90%. Your U.S. library may be eligible for donation programs from TechSoup partners like Microsoft, Adobe, Cisco, Flip Video, and Intuit. TechSoup carries over 450 products! Donations are available to all public libraries that are listed in the IMLS database or have a valid 501(c)(3) nonprofit status. Nonprofit organizations that support libraries, such as library foundations, friends, resource sharing associations, and library consortiums with 501(c)(3) status are also eligible. If you need software or hardware donations for multiple or affiliated organizations in your network (such as a branch library system), contact Ricci Powers (ricci at techsoup.org) at 415-633-9341 for help with this type of large request. Free TechSoup Webinars[TStalks-banner.gif] Connect, Collaborate, and Engage: The Potential of SharePoint for Nonprofits and Public Libraries Wednesday, March 9, 2011, 11:00 a.m. Pacific (Noon Mountain / 1 p.m. Central / 2 p.m. Eastern) Nonprofits and libraries are consistently challenged to collaborate with their staffs, boards, and other supporters in efficient and effective ways. Organizational history, content, knowledge, and files may live with different people, in various email inboxes, or on different computers or file servers. Effort is often duplicated due to a lack of awareness of what knowledge or resources already exist, and multiple versions of files are being sent back and forth over email. If these scenarios sound familiar, come see if Microsoft Office SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint Online could be a fit for your organization. Roy King, senior business planner for Microsoft and an active nonprofit volunteer, will provide an overview of SharePoint's many capabilities, including updated social networking and search features in SharePoint 2010. You'll see examples of other nonprofits that have adopted SharePoint, and hear their lessons learned. This webinar is offered free by Microsoft Community Affairs, but space is limited so register today! Read more about SharePoint 2010 in this introductory article. Registering Your Organization Friday, March 11, 2011, 10:00 a.m. Pacific (11 a.m. Mountain / Noon Central / 1 p.m. Eastern) Are you ready to take the next step and register your organization with TechSoup? Join us for a short, informative webinar to learn how registering will help your organization receive donated software, hardware, and services and access a variety of helpful resources. You'll also learn about required documentation and see a demonstration of the registration process. This webinar is suited for staff at nonprofits and public libraries in the United States. Visit the webinar archives to watch past webinars, including last month's Designing and Delivering Technology Workshops. TechSoup Global Contributors' Summit [TS Contributors' Summit]TechSoup Global convened partners from around the world on Microsoft's campus in Silicon Valley in February. More than 200 people who have contributed to moving TechSoup Global's mission forward - foundations, corporations, libraries, organizers, and NGOs - created new opportunities to leverage this powerful community to create far-reaching change. It was an exciting week of conversations, connections, and new opportunities for collaboration. A session specifically about libraries was facilitated by David Lee King, Sarah Washburn, and Bobbi Newman. Bobbi summarized her experience on her blog, Librarian by Day. If you'd like to learn more, we've compiled a list of posts and other coverage from the event. Monthly Survey Winner This month's winner is Mary Hogan from Cora J. Belden Library in Rocky Hill, CT. Thanks to Mary and others for sharing information about what your library does to be green! We are taking a survey break while we do a bit of spring cleaning, but if you have a technology experience you'd like to share about on our blog, we'd love to hear from you. Don't forget that what might be "no big deal" to you may be an "aha!" to someone else! -TechSoup for Libraries techsoupforlibraries at techsoup.org TechSoup Global is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization working towards the day when every nonprofit, library, and social benefit organization on the planet has the technology knowledge and resources they need to operate at their full potential.

The Schools, Health and Libraries Broadband (SHLB) Coalition (of which the American Library Association is a member) will host a national convening of community anchor institutions and BTOP grantees to discuss and showcase successful BTOP projects on March 28 and 29. Larry Strickling, Assistant Secretary of Commerce, will keynote. The SHLB BTOP Summit will: - bring voices from the field to Washington to educate policy-makers on BTOP early progress - showcase how BTOP projects are supporting digital opportunity and economic recovery through work in and with Community Anchor Institutions - discuss with policy-makers additional steps that can be taken to promote broadband to community anchor institutions, and - share best practices among leading grantees. SHLB plans to demonstrate strong support for the BTOP program with presenters including libraries, community colleges, K-12 schools, research and education networks, municipalities and commercial companies. ?Approximately two dozen library organizations are grantees or grantee partners in BTOP-funded projects ? totaling more than $100 million in grants,? said Larra Clark, director, OITP Program on Networks. ?I look forward to a strong library presence as part of the summit and to raising awareness of how our nation?s state and local libraries are leveraging these funds to meet ever-growing community demand for online information and resources ? including those that support employment, education and e-government.? There is no fee to participate, and registration is simple.

NMRT Footnotes, Feb. 2011 Is Your R?sum? Highlighting Your Accomplishments, or Your Job Description? "A manager once told me all the resumes on his desk sounded the same. Each one was basically a list of job duties rather than a document that shared information about the person who wrote it. He was right. Resumes often end up telling what a person did instead of creating a story of what they can do. When it comes to writing a resume, it's easy to procrastinate, then resort to listing your prior jobs and each job's daily duties in the hopes that an employer will perceive your strengths. Talking about your previous positions is important because they give the reader a sense of your role and the scope of your responsibilities, but it doesnt have to be boring."...

Chicago: ALA, 2011. 025.110973 Fruga ISBN 978-0-8389-1075-7 Fewer employees, shorter hours, diminished collection budgets, reduced programs and services all at a time of record library usage. In this book, library expert Smallwood persuasively demonstrates that the necessity of doing business differently can be positive. Presenting creative and resourceful solutions to universal concerns from dozens of librarians, representing a wide variety of institutions, this collection helps overtaxed library professionals: * Find supplementary funding sources, including grants * Save money by sharing resources, using tiered staffing for technical services, and implementing green IT * Tap into grassroots movements to save neighborhood libraries * Preserve and enhance important library functions like programming, outreach, and staff development, despite a tight budget Partnering, sharing, innovating these are the watchwords for contemporary librarians in tough economic times, and this book offers plenty of ideas that can be implemented immediately.

ISBN 978-1555706685 Authors Mary Beth Weber and Fay Austin address RDA, the latest hot new trend in cataloging, along with traditional examples of cataloging like MARC, MODS, and Dublin Core. Streaming video, Internet sites, dual-disc DVDs, blogs and listservs are just some of the rapidly emerging, and often complicated, new resources covered in this current, easy-to-follow manual. Weber and Austin dedicate separate chapters to each non-print and e-resource format, and include corresponding examples to help demonstrate practical implementation of these critical new skills. A companion CD-ROM, designed for catalogers to use in creating descriptive records, provides guidance on how to formulate core-level descriptions for the seven media types discussed in the book; live links to online sources for additional information; and templates for creating descriptive records using MARC, MODS, and Dublin Core. Practical and user-friendly, this essential guide to 21st century cataloging will teach you to organize your constantly expanding collection.

Where: TBA BACKGROUND: Code4Lib Northwest connects innovators and problem solvers so they can share information about projects, trends and technologies. Most importantly, it seeks to develop a community where people share information and experience and collaborate on work towards common goals. You don't have to be a programmer to attend, but you shouldn't be surprised if a couple presenters toss a little illustrative code on the screens. If you weren't able to attend last year or are unfamiliar with the format, you're in for a treat. Mix it up with some the best library technologists in the PNW! If you want to find out what people are up to, this is the place. FORMAT: The Code4Lib Northwest meeting is a one day conference in traditional Code4Lib style. It will feature a series of 20 minute sessions and two periods of lightning talks. By keeping the group size low and presentations short in a highly interactive environment, it's easy for busy people to share their ideas so you get to learn about what really interests you. PRESENTATIONS: In preparation for Code4Lib PNW, a small number of presentations have been pre-solicited and are available with the draft schedule here: http://sites.google.com/site/code4libnorthwest/ Ideas for 20 minute presentations can be submitted to http://goo.gl/cTp3H A laptop with an internet connection and a data projector will be provided. ATTENDEES AND REGISTRATION: Code4Lib Northwest 2011 event will be capped at 60 participants. Early registration is $60 (after April 29, it becomes $75), and lunch as well as refreshments throughout the day will be provided. The price has risen due to increased costs for putting on the conference. QUESTIONS/COMMENTS: If you have questions, you can post them to the Google Group at http://groups.google.com/group/pnwcode4lib or send them to the code4lib NW coordinators (Ken Guidry kguidry at mail.ewu.edu, Mike Flakus mflakus at pdx.eduand Doug Eriksen eriksend at seattleu.edu) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

See section 109 of chapter 1 of US Copyright Law ( http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.html#109). This applies to any copy (usually meaning a physical copy) purchased or acquired from the copyright holder that is a lawfully-produced copy of the copyrighted work. Digital mediums and computer software, which do not have a "physical" copy have been complicating the application of the first sale doctrine, since producers/distributors may sell the consumer (an individual or an institution) a "license" to use that work, rather than sell them the work itself. The courts and the US copyright office are teasing out how the laws currently on the books apply in the digital age. Works purchased by libraries and lent to patrons are still bound by all the usual copyright restrictions- in-home/personal use, no reproduction, non-commercial use/ etc. Hence, why libraries must secure "public performance" rights if they want to publicly screen a DVD that they may own in their collection. Hope this helps.

At the recent Midwinter Meeting, my president's report identified the names of the members of the Equitable Access to Electronic Content task force, which was created in response to a Council resolution. The task force, chaired by Linda Crowe and Michael Porter, will be meeting in Washington next week for a working retreat that is being financially supported by ALA. Among other groups, they will get assistance from OITP's E-Book subcommittee. I do not take your concerns about changes in the e-book pricing approach lightly. However, due to the far-reaching and long-term effects, the task force deserves time to gather information and examine the complex issues involved in equitable access to electronic content, including e-books. We will receive their report at the Annual Conference and I look forward to our using it, as an association, to formulate actions that will ensure we have 21st century libraries to meet the needs of our users. Meanwhile, please feel free to continue communicating your viewpoints to publishers and e-book distributors. Thank you for speaking up.

Message-ID: I guess I wonder what about this question has to do with Harper Collins? And then, what is she interested in knowing - how is media purchased? How is it checked out? How is it made accessible? There is very little commonality within a single type of media, much less among different types of media. Is she asking about feature films, educational films?

Digital mediums and computer software, which do not have a "physical" copy have been complicating the application of the first sale doctrine, since producers/distributors may sell the consumer (an individual or an institution) a "license" to use that work, rather than sell them the work itself. The courts and the US copyright office are teasing out how the laws currently on the books apply in the digital age.

Look at the Baen Books Free Library page: http://www.baen.com/library/ to read author Eric Flint's essay about free access to ebooks. They have apparently been doing this since at least 2000, in a very low-key manner. Many, although not all of the Baen authors have some of their titles available in the Baen Free Library, including David Weber, Mercedes Lackey, David Drake, Lois McMaster Bujold, and of course, Eric Flint. On the Baen WebSubscriptions site, they also say, "Since 1999, Baen has published its new books as ebooks each month, in several formats, with no Digital Rights Management, through WebScriptions (www.webscriptions.net), for a small fee. Now, this service will be available at no cost to the disabled, who must apply for this privilege." Formats include ePub/Nook/Stanza, Mobi/Kindle/Palm, Sony LRF, Rocketbook, RTF and MSReader. Of course Baen also sells ebooks, and says that they generally only make the first few in a series available for free in the hopes that readers will like the books enough to purchase the rest. It doesn't look like this business model has hurt Baen. How appropriate that a publisher of science fiction (and fantasy) should be so forward-thinking.

So, I am using another email address for the time being and hope that I can clog up your email again. ;-) I thought this was appropriate to send regarding the current ebook discussion. American Library Association tackles new challenges in the e-environment March 08, 2011 ( No Comments) Recent action from the publishing world in the e-book marketplace has re-ignited interest and sparked many questions from librarians, publishers, vendors, and readers. Two ALA member task forces ? the presidential task force on Equitable Access to Electronic Content (EQUACC) and the E-book Task Force ? were recently created to address these complex and evolving issues. EQUACC met this week in Washington, D.C., to provide ALA with guidance and recommendations for a coordinated ALA response to the challenging issues. In light of recent publisher changes affecting libraries? ability to provide e-books to the public (e.g., restricting lending of e-books to a limited number of circulations) and the refusal of some publishers to sell e-content to libraries entirely, the task force will: - Work to establish meetings between ALA leadership and publisher and author associations to discuss model lending and purchase options for libraries. - Establish mechanisms for interactive and ongoing communication for ALA members to voice concerns and pose questions to ALA leadership. - Establish communication and solicit input with other ALA member divisions and units, including the Office for Intellectual Freedom. In addition to the above, the task force recommends that ALA pursue the following: - Conduct an environmental scan to understand the current landscape and project future scenarios. - Work with appropriate partners within and outside of ALA to improve access to electronic information for all, with a particular focus on people with disabilities. - Identify and support new and emerging model projects for delivering e-content to the public. - Develop a national public relations and education campaign highlighting the importance of libraries as essential access points for electronic content. ALA members and the public can communicate with ALA on these issues through a new website dedicated to the challenges and potential solutions in libraries for improved access to electronic content. This site will be live within 10 days, and the URL to be announced at launch. These efforts reflect on libraries? long-standing principles on equitable access to information, reader privacy, intellectual freedom, and the lawful right of libraries to purchase and lend materials to the public. ALA calls upon all stakeholders to join us in crafting 21st century solutions that will ensure equitable access to information for all. http://www.wo.ala.org/districtdispatch/?p=5749 -- *Diedre Conkling** Lincoln County Library District P.O.

Washington, D.C.: Council on Library and Information Resources, June 2010. 027.7 Idea. ISBN 978-1-932326-35-2 The Idea of Order explores the transition from an analog to a digital environment for knowledge access, preservation, and reconstitution, and the implications of this transition for managing research collections. The volume comprises three reports. The first, "Can a New Research Library be All-Digital?" by Lisa Spiro and Geneva Henry, explores the degree to which a new research library can eschew print. The second, "On the Cost of Keeping a Book," by Paul Courant and Matthew "Buzzy" Nielsen, argues that from the perspective of long-term storage, digital surrogates offer a considerable cost savings over print-based libraries. The final report, "Ghostlier Demarcations," examines how well large text databases being created by Google Books and other mass-digitization efforts meet the needs of scholars, and the larger implications of these projects for research, teaching, and publishing.

Webinar Title: Free Content for Library Collections Speaker: Michael Galloway and John Mark Ockerbloom Cost: Free to Library Staff of Oregon Libraries Date: Friday, March 11, 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.

Funding is provided through the Community Connect Grant program. Grants are available to communities in the most rural, economically challenged areas where loans would not be sustainable. Funds may be used to construct, acquire or lease facilities to deploy broadband to residents, businesses and essential community facilities such as police and fire stations, libraries, schools, and health care clinics. ?Because the applicant must be able to own the broadband network and provide the broadband services, RUS encourages schools and libraries to find a broadband provider to submit the application,? said Larra Clark, director, ALA Office for Information Technology Policy (OITP) Program on Networks. ?The Community Connect program can be meaningful to rural libraries because program applicants must provide broadband service free of charge for two years to libraries and other community facilities.? Grants range from $50,000 to $1.5 million, and the application deadline is May 3. Each project requires matching contributions (15 percent), must serve a rural area where broadband service does not exist, and must offer basic service to all premises within the proposed service area. Complete grant information, including FAQs and an application guide, are available on the Community Connect Grant Program Web page. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

One of the reasons that Baen was able to conceive and use his relatively unique electronic library (other e-publishers now offer freebies, too) was because Baen had his own publishing house. If I'm remembering correctly, he told the audience that his contracts with larger publishers were written to give him more control over his product. In other words, if he came to a parting of the ways with the larger publisher, he walked with everything, including his inventory. This put him (and now his heirs) in a better bargaining position than some of the other privately held SF publishing houses. As a privately held company, Jim Baen also didn't have to answer to Wall Street investors during the three years before the free library began to show a positive impact on the hardcopy end of the his business. Another SF publisher Tor offers short stories online and in some electronic formats for free. They can be printed and have podcasts. A number can be downloaded to e-readers. Here's humorous (depending on how you look at it) problem that e-books can have. Ken Scholes, who is published by Tor, had one of his chapters go missing in the Kindle editions of one of his novels. It was replaced by a chapter from one of Lisa Desrochers' books (published by Tor Teen). So the two of them collaborated on a short story about what would happen if their characters met. (Ken lives in Portland.) Here's the link: http://www.tor.com/stories/2010/09/intersections-and-interlopers It makes more sense if you've read Ken's series.

Look at the Baen Books Free Library page:? http://www.baen.com/library/? to read author Eric Flint's essay about free access to ebooks.? They have apparently been doing this since at least 2000, in a very low-key manner. Many, although not all of the Baen authors have some of their titles available in the Baen Free Library, including David Weber, Mercedes Lackey, David Drake, Lois McMaster Bujold, and of course, Eric Flint.? On the Baen WebSubscriptions site, they also say, "Since 1999, Baen has published its new books as ebooks each month, in several formats, with no Digital Rights Management, through WebScriptions (www.webscriptions.net), for a small fee. Now, this service will be available at no cost to the disabled, who must apply for this privilege." Formats include ePub/Nook/Stanza, Mobi/Kindle/Palm,? Sony LRF, Rocketbook, RTF and MSReader.??? Of course Baen also sells ebooks, and says that they generally only make the first few in a series available for free in the hopes that readers will like the books enough to purchase the rest.? It doesn't look like this business model has hurt Baen.? How appropriate that a publisher of science fiction (and fantasy) should be so forward-thinking.?

Locke says that 99 cents is the magic number and adds that when he lowered the price of his book The List from $2.99 to 99 cents, he started selling 20 times as many copies? about 800 a day, turning his loss lead into his biggest earner. 'These days the buying public looks at a $9.95 eBook and pauses. It's not an automatic sale,' says Locke. 'And the reason it's not is because the buyer knows when an eBook is priced ten times higher than it has to be. And so the buyer pauses. And it is in this pause?this golden, sweet-scented pause?that we independent authors gain the advantage, because we offer incredible value.' Kevin Kelly predicts that within 5 years all digital books will cost 99 cents . 'I don't think publishers are ready for how low book prices will go,' writes Kelly. 'It seems insane, dangerous, life threatening, but inevitable.'" ***************************************************************** Regards, John Kintree * -- *Diedre Conkling** Lincoln County Library District P.O.

As a result of the current economic conditions, we are witnessing even greater threats to our futures than we have ever experienced before. How can we position our libraries not just to survive but to thrive as we serve our diverse communities? What difficult choices will we have to make in the next few years to ensure that our value remains high for those we serve, no matter the type of library? Where and how can we find opportunities to move our libraries to a place where they are seen as essential for the future of the communities? *Thursday, April 7, 2011* *OLA President?s Banquet* A nationally touring comedian, Dave Anderson has performed at the country?s premier comedy clubs, including the world famous Improv in Los Angeles. He has appeared on numerous television shows such as ?Star Search,?Showtime?s ?Commedy Club Network,? and ?An Evening at the Improv.? His comedy is heard around the world on Sirius and XM satellite radio. Most recently Dave was a contributing writer for the ?Tonight Show with Jay Leno.? He is currently co-host of the highly rated ?Mark and Dave Show? on 1190 KEX in Portland and host of the long running morning television talk show ?AM Northwest? on KATU TV. Dave?s unique ability to blend clean, intelligent material with audience interaction has made him a favorite at corporate events and college campuses across America. The audience plays a major role in Dave?s show. He has an amazing ability to turn ordinary conversations into hilarious comedy routines while remaining clean and inoffensive.

ISBN: 978-1-55570-6333 This title could be useful for staff in all types of libraries. >From the Publisher: Google isn't up to the task when it comes to serious research, and though your patrons and students have heard of the "invisible," or "deep" Web, they have no idea how to tap into it. You need practical tools and strategies for teaching them about the Web sources and specialized databases they will never find using everyday search engines. This book will show you in simple, nontechnical terms how to integrate the invisible Web into teaching opportunities wherever they occur: in a one-on-one "teaching moment" at the reference desk, or in a formal course. Estimated at 500 times the size of the visible Web, the invisible Web and the search skills needed to plumb its depths should be a part of every information literacy and research skills course. With this book you get expert teaching tips and scripts for informal instruction, plus model activities and assignments for the classroom. Statistics and summaries of relevant research will help you combat myths like "Searching is Easy," or "Everything Important is Free." Read this book too, to find out how the best deep Web search tools, including CompletePlanet, Closer Look, and the Librarian's Internet Index, are evolving and what it all means for your library's future electronic collection development plans. This book was favorably reviewed and/or highly recommended by several review sources, including Journal of the Medical Library Association, Reference and User Services Quarterly, School Library Journal, and Teacher Librarian.

The bill reported by the committee requires the government to demonstrate a connection to terrorism or espionage before it can obtain library and bookstore records in intelligence investigations. ?The Senate Judiciary Committee has done the right thing by recognizing that there should be a higher level of judicial review for law enforcement to obtain readers? records from libraries and bookstores,? Lynne Bradley, director of the ALA Office of Government Relations (OGR), said. ?How people use their libraries should be subject to greater privacy protection because reading and accessing information is such an inherent part of First Amendment activities.? Section 215 and two other sections of the USA PATRIOT Act are scheduled to sunset on May 27, 2011. Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-VT) introduced S. 193 in February. As introduced, it required that the government prove a connection to a terrorist or spy before it can access an individual?s library records under Section 215 of the USA PATRIOT Act. Under current law, the government need only demonstrate mere relevance to an investigation. Today the committee adopted an amendment to extend this special protection to bookseller records as well. ?We thank Senator Leahy and all of the senators who supported the readers? privacy language,? Bradley said. ?The library community will be working with all stakeholders to preserve this important provision as S. 193 moves to the Senate floor and as the House proceeds with its work on reauthorization of Section 215.? http://www.wo.ala.org/districtdispatch/?p=5763 -- *Diedre Conkling** Lincoln County Library District P.O.

I held back on a public statement on the recent decision by Harper Collins to restrict the lending of e-books until the Equitable Access to Electronic Information Task Force (EQUACC) met last week. Please know that I heard your voices of concern about the impact of additional costs on your libraries and ability to meet the needs of the communities you serve. A press releasewas issued today that speaks to our shared alarm at announced and potential limitations to the access to knowledge, information and the creative written works of authors in the electronic era. We know that libraries are essential to an informed nation and therefore our democracy. I have been and will continue to highlight our commitment to access in every media interview I give. As an outgrowth of EQUACC?s working retreat, a website will be launched within the next week. The site will allow you to provide your comments and ideas. The site?s availability will be announced using the many ways we have within the association to ?get the word out.? I want to express my thanks to the task force members, the representative from the E-Book Subcommittee and staff of the Office of Information Technology and Policy. Their collective efforts to tackle this complicated topic and provide a means to reach out broadly to our members and organizations affiliated with ALA are important to our being informed and taking wise actions. I also wanted to give you the heads up that equitable access to information and e-books will be the subject of the first virtual Membership Meeting. The meeting is scheduled for June 1. More information will be forthcoming as we get the plans in place. Thank you for your support, Roberta Stevens, ALA President If you no longer wish to receive e-mail from us, please click here. -- *Diedre Conkling** Lincoln County Library District P.O.

The Virtual Conference sessions are scheduled for Thursday, March 31st and Friday, April 1st. *Sessions: Thursday, March 31 9:00AM-10:00 AM Depending On Our Users: Collecting User Feedback to Assess and Improve Research Consultations* Reference services are responding to the increasing size and complexity of the current information landscape in various ways. A new Research Center at the University of Denver provides students and faculty with hour-long, one-on-one consultations with a research librarian. The effectiveness of this model has been assessed with feedback data collected with SurveyMonkey. We will discuss how this robust data provides important insights into user demographics, user satisfaction, and student learning outcomes. *Presenter(s):* Erin Meyer, Student Outreach Librarian and Research Center Coordinator, Penrose Library, University of Denver; Carrie Forbes, Instruction Coordinator and Reference Librarian, Penrose Library, University of Denver *10:30 AM -11:30 AM Training Volunteer Library Teachers: Novice to Professional in a Few Painless Steps* Most library instruction programs are built on volunteer teachers. Building creative, professional teachers takes planning and commitment. This session will explore how to create a teacher training program that systematically supports novice teachers as they move towards being confident library instructors. The session will move from what makes a quality volunteer teacher to how to structure a teacher development program and end with how to successfully launch a program with no direct supervisory role. *Presenter(s):* Suzanne Julian, Library Instruction Coordinator, Brigham Young University *12:00 PM ? 1:00 PM Benefits and Challenges of Academic Librarians in Virtual Worlds* Hundreds of institutions of higher education have an academic presence in virtual worlds (VWs), what is the librarian's role? In what ways are academic librarians professionally involved in Second Life and other VWs? Is exploring Second Life and other VWs worth the time and effort? Why have many librarians taken the lead and/or supporting roles in VW environments on their campus? What are the challenges and benefits of this work? *Presenter(s): *Robin Ashford, Reference & Distance Services Librarian, George Fox University; Beth Kraemer, Information Technology, University of Kentucky; Diane Nahl, Dr., University of Hawaii; Denise Cote, Associate Professor, College of DuPage * 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM Digital Library Interdependence: Building External Partnerships with Cultural Heritage Organizations* How one academic library has groomed external relations with others outside its university to allow the rich cultural resources they own and manage to be preserved digitally and made available to scholars world-wide by means of a substantial digital library. 2011 marks the fifth year of this University s digital library and the announcement of the fifth major digital library partnership agreement, undertaking now to digitize another university's world-class special collection of early printed bibles. *Presenter(s): *Darren Poley, Outreach lLibrarian, Villanova University *Friday, April 1, 2011 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM Integrating the Library into Online Courses* What if you could bottle a little bit of the library into every online course? Libraries at three California State Universities are partnering with their campus IT departments to create a rich library environment in every instructor s course. Students can use library resources and services directly from within the online course container and librarians are provided with the power to take on an active role in online courses. *Presenter(s): *Susan Thompson, Coordinator Library Systems, California State University San Marcos; Thoreau Lovell, Head of Library Information Technology & Media Services, Leonard Library, San Francisco State University; Hillary Kaplowitz, Instructional Designer, California State University, Northridge; Danielle Skaggs, Coordinator of Online Instructional Design, California State University, Northridge; Christina Mayberry, Science and Engineering Librarian, California State University, Northridge *10:30 AM - 11:30 AM Listening to Users . . . Closing the Feedback Loop: Just Do It!* Libraries can close the feedback loop quickly. Methods for realtime feedback and library responses, in use at a college library and a large university library, will be presented,including suggestion boxes and guestbooks, as well as usability studies, mystery shoppers, and informal student interviews. Often libraries focus on information-gathering rather than improvements and responses. If the response is not timely, "short attention span" customers may lose interest and feel as if their opinions do not count. *Presenter(s):* Meg Scharf, Associate Director for Public Services, University of Central Florida; Lisabeth Chabot, College Librarian, Ithaca College *12:00 PM -1:00 PM When Nontraditional is the Norm: Shifting the Instruction Paradigm for Adult Online Students* Adult, online students may be invisible, but they are a potent force and will be for years to come. How much do we know about them, and do our instructional activities meet their needs? You ll learn some surprising truths about adult students in the digital realm, and learn how to apply the principles of andragogy to create effective library instruction materials for your adult, online students. *Presenter(s): *Erin Brothen, Education Librarian, Walden University; Erika Bennett, Information Literacy & Instruction Librarian, Capella University; Kim Staley, Reference Librarian and Liaison to the School of Public Service Leadership, Capella University *1:30 PM - 2:30 PM Checklist Manifesto for Electronic Resources: Getting Ready for the Fiscal Year* Need to organize how you prepare your current, new, upgraded, or deselected electronic resources for the new fiscal year? Learn how to innovatively apply the principles of The Checklist Manifesto: How to Get Things Right and prepare a checklist to manage the myriad of tasks involved in this process.

I saw the item below today on the ALA science and technology discussion list. I think it is really worth reading. Hope Leman, MLIS Research Information Technologist Center for Health Research and Quality Samaritan Health Services 815 NW 9th Street Suite 203A Corvallis, OR 97330 (541) 768-5712 LigerCat (http://ligercat.ubio.org) is a web application that allows a researcher to search for articles in PubMed and then explore the resulting set via the key words (MeSH descriptors) associated with the result set. LigerCat facilitates the use of plain language queries or molecular sequences to search the PubMed database for articles. Using keywords it is also possible to search the National Library of Medicine?s Journals database to find relevant journal titles and then explore the keywords in articles published in those journals. The search results are displayed as an occurrence-weighted tag cloud, with the terms associated more articles presented in a larger font size. LigerCat also serves a Publication Data Histogram. In the Articles Search a Publication History graph is displayed in addition to the MeSH tag cloud. This is an interactive graph. Mousing over the graph will highlight years and display the number of articles from that year that your search retrieved. Clicking on the bar for that year performs the search in PubMed and takes you to that result page. In the Genes Search, the graph will not take you to PubMed but you still can see how many articles related to the query sequence were published in each year. It is also possible for users to copy a code snippet for users to display a particular MeSH cloud on their own web page. Please try out LigerCat. We are always happy to get feedback and suggestions for improvement.

Volunteer Services at Multnomah County Library may be submitting an LSTA (Library Services and Technology Act) 2012 grant proposal entitled, *Maximizing Volunteer Potential in Public Libraries: Investing in Highly Skilled Volunteers.* We are conducting preliminary research to understand how and whether libraries are using highly skilled volunteers. A highly skilled volunteer is someone who wants to engage in volunteer opportunities that are more challenging and require a higher level of skill, education and/or experience. They are often college educated with one or two higher level degrees. They typically have well-established careers, often with a high level of responsibility. They may or may not be retired. They are seeking volunteer work that is challenging and meaningful, with the potential for high impact on an organization?s mission. At public libraries around the nation, some of these highly skilled volunteers serve as citizenship instructors, facilitators, presenters, booktalkers, event or volunteer coordinators, mentors, and curriculum designers for special classes offered at the library. Please help us by completing the survey by *Tuesday, March 22*. The information that you provide will be helpful as we move forward with our grant application. *Click here to access the online survey. * Thank you for your contribution and guidance!

You may have heard about the many proposed cuts to school library programs as well as the upcoming ESEA reauthorization (also known as the reauthorization of No Child Left Behind). At the same time, members of Congress and their staff are looking for positive stories from their district, particularly on education and economic issues. Fortunately, school librarians have a tremendous opportunity to tell a story that will matter to legislators. The role you play in preparing America?s youth for 21st century jobs, promoting quality of life and economic development and improving literacy in communities around the country must be understood. Attend this webinar to understand how you can get legislators to listen up and, more important, agree with you on school library policy and funding issues.

This is an outcome of OLA's involvement with the Amo Leer project that provided $9,000 in children's Spanish books to 20 small Oregon Libraries. The project has been replicated in Texas and Oklahoma and they would like to hear what we are doing in Oregon at both the Amo Leer libraries and at other libraries. I would love an e-mail from any of you that tells me about your collaboration. It can be anecdotal, you don't have to give me a bunch of stats, but I would like to know about the kinds of groups you are working with and how that has helped your outreach efforts. I'd really like to WOW those Texans with what we are doing in Oregon! While this is focused on Spanish outreach, the program I'm speaking at is also talking about other outreach partnerships, so if you've got a great partnership in another area you'd like to relate, please let me know about it. Again, thanks in advance for sharing your stories of collaboration! Leah ****************************** Leah M. Griffith Director, Newberg Public Library 503 E.

Based on the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR), RDA moves away from the "unit card" or document approach to catalog entries, and toward an entity-relationship model. Over the past year some cataloging departments have been testing RDA as a set of rules for creating library data. At the same time, technical developers have been experimenting with RDA as data, and in particular as linkable data for the Semantic Web. The speakers will cover these parallel developments, and talk about some possible future directions. This webcast is 90 minutes in length.

All showings of the exhibition must be free and open to the public. ?Manifold Greatness: The Creation and Afterlife of the King James Bible,? a traveling exhibition for libraries, was organized by the Folger Shakespeare Library, Washington, D.C., and the ALA Public Programs Office. It is based on an exhibition of the same name developed by the Folger Shakespeare Library and The Bodleian Library, Oxford University, to mark the 400th anniversary of the publication of the King James Bible. The traveling exhibition was made possible by a major grant from NEH. ****************************** ALA Public Programs Office www.ala.org/publicprograms publicprograms at ala.org Are you a Programming Librarian? -- Portland State University logo Suzanne L.

For, as we all know, government agencies are great at publishing data; however, government agencies are not so good at organizing statistical data into useable chunks, thereby enabling easy longitudinal comparisons. I once assisted a Census researcher who had a massive number of census schedules spread out over an entire reading room table. All he wanted to do was find the decennial population change for a few major U.S. cities, over 50 years time. He thought he had to consult individual schedules for five separate decennial censuses to get the figures he needed, take handwritten notes, then compile those notes into a table. As I showed him, all he needed was two pages from the Statistical Abstract, pages that had already cumulated those figures into a handy table for him. In addition to making a great number of time-bound data comparisons easy, the Abstract serves as a basic starting point for a statistical research project because of its tables' cited references and the marvelous introductions to statistical topical areas that inform a beginning researcher of the scope and history of statistical data pertaining to those topical areas. A staple of newsrooms, TV and radio stations, business and corporate offices, independent researchers' libraries, and the libraries of information geeks across the country, the Statistical Abstract saves the United States economy millions of dollars of wasted time and productivity each year. But, of course, nobody can prove that, because nobody measures such things. It's admittedly just a belief that I feel is true. According to page 87 of Commerce's 2012 Congressional Budget Justification (thanks to Jeremy Darrington for providing the link), suspending publication of the Statistical Abstract will save the government a little bit less than $3 million. The assumption, I suppose, is that this will help reduce the deficit, thereby helping commerce and the economy. That also is a belief. One that I feel is false.

The Census Bureau has had to put the US Statistical Abstract on the chopping block for 2012. This budget estimate is currently sitting at Congress. See University of Michigan?s Population Studies Center?s blog entry about it here, with links to the actual document: http://www.psc.isr.umich.edu/pscinfoserv/?p=1814. I have just spoken with Cathy Lavender, who works on the Abstract and has for over 20 years. She said the staff just found out about this last month and it?s been devastating and a shock. They requested to continue with the online, but that is not currently an option. Staff at the Abstracts are only able to advocate for this on their personal computers, and otherwise their hands are tied. It?s up to us to rally for the cause. Cathy said that staff has been told to contact their representatives in Congress to advocate that the Abstract be continued. (http://www.contactingthecongress.org/) Please note that the County and City Data Book and the State and Metropolitan Area Data Book are also on the chopping block. The main number at the Abstract is 301-763-1171, but when I called I was not able to get a hold of anyone. I eventually called the main Census contact number at 301-763-INFO (4636) and was connected to a division where Cathy works, at 301-763-1166.

I tried to incorporate a lot of the sentiments that I have heard on this list. I see now that it lacks a specific call to action, which is something that a formal letter from a group like GODORT, IASSIST, or the ACRL Data Interest Group would want to include. Maybe it can be a starting point though? Dear ____, The U.S. Census Bureau's Budget Estimates for Fiscal Year 2012 calls for the termination of the Statistical Abstract program. The library community is deeply upset at the thought of losing access to this important program and urges you to take action to stop this program change. The Statistical Abstract of the United States is a crucial source in the provision of social, economic, and political indicators to the American public. The Budget Estimates document suggests that the Statistical Abstract is no longer needed due to the "availability elsewhere of much of the information in the statistical abstract". As a reference publication the Statistical Abstract is valued precisely for aggregating in one convenient location a variety of information sources available elsewhere. The provision of private information not freely available elsewhere is also invaluable. Published since 1878, this important resource is a staple of reference librarians for its ease of use, comprehensive content, and as a guidebook to statistical sources. It would be a disservice to the American public to terminate the Statistical Abstract program. A democratic society is only made possible by an informed citizenry. The multitude of government statistical programs and publications can be difficult for many members of the public to understand and use. The government must support programs like the Statistical Abstract that enhance the availability of information. Many developed countries throughout the world publish Statistical Abstracts. It is a standard government publication that is universally popular as a tool to understand the state of a nation's social, political and economic functioning. Terminating the Statistical Abstract program would lower the United States international standing as free and open society that values unfettered access to information. Even in these trying economic times the Census Bureau must continue to support the mission of the Department of Commerce to "Improve understanding of the US economy, society and environment by providing timely, relevant, trusted and accurate data, standards and services enabling entities to make informed decisions." The Statistical Abstract program clearly supports this goal by providing a valuable directory to the wealth of statistical information produced by the US government and private sources. We must not let short-sighted and ineffective attempts at lowering the federal deficit stand in the way of upholding the values upon which our nation was founded: a democratic society supported by an informed public.

In addition to making a great number of time-bound data comparisons easy, the Abstract serves as a basic starting point for a statistical research project because of its tables' cited references and the marvelous introductions to statistical topical areas that inform a beginning researcher of the scope and history of statistical data pertaining to those topical areas. A staple of newsrooms, TV and radio stations, business and corporate offices, independent researchers' libraries, and the libraries of information geeks across the country, the Statistical Abstract saves the United States economy millions of dollars of wasted time and productivity each year. But, of course, nobody can prove that, because nobody measures such things. It's admittedly just a belief that I feel is true. According to page 87 of Commerce's 2012 Congressional Budget Justification (thanks to Jeremy Darrington for providing the link), suspending publication of the Statistical Abstract will save the government a little bit less than $3 million. The assumption, I suppose, is that this will help reduce the deficit, thereby helping commerce and the economy. That also is a belief. One that I feel is false.

The Census Bureau has had to put the US Statistical Abstract on the chopping block for 2012. This budget estimate is currently sitting at Congress. See University of Michigan's Population Studies Center's blog entry about it here, with links to the actual document: http://www.psc.isr.umich.edu/pscinfoserv/?p=1814. I have just spoken with Cathy Lavender, who works on the Abstract and has for over 20 years. She said the staff just found out about this last month and it's been devastating and a shock. They requested to continue with the online, but that is not currently an option. Staff at the Abstracts are only able to advocate for this on their personal computers, and otherwise their hands are tied. It's up to us to rally for the cause. Cathy said that staff has been told to contact their representatives in Congress to advocate that the Abstract be continued. (http://www.contactingthecongress.org/) Please note that the County and City Data Book and the State and Metropolitan Area Data Book are also on the chopping block. The main number at the Abstract is 301-763-1171, but when I called I was not able to get a hold of anyone. I eventually called the main Census contact number at 301-763-INFO (4636) and was connected to a division where Cathy works, at 301-763-1166. Hailey Mooney, Data Services and Reference Librarian at Michigan State University Libraries has written a letter that can be used or adapted to send to your representative.

I tried to incorporate a lot of the sentiments that I have heard on this list. I see now that it lacks a specific call to action, which is something that a formal letter from a group like GODORT, IASSIST, or the ACRL Data Interest Group would want to include. Maybe it can be a starting point though? Dear ____, The U.S. Census Bureau's Budget Estimates for Fiscal Year 2012 calls for the termination of the Statistical Abstract program. The library community is deeply upset at the thought of losing access to this important program and urges you to take action to stop this program change. The Statistical Abstract of the United States is a crucial source in the provision of social, economic, and political indicators to the American public. The Budget Estimates document suggests that the Statistical Abstract is no longer needed due to the "availability elsewhere of much of the information in the statistical abstract". As a reference publication the Statistical Abstract is valued precisely for aggregating in one convenient location a variety of information sources available elsewhere. The provision of private information not freely available elsewhere is also invaluable. Published since 1878, this important resource is a staple of reference librarians for its ease of use, comprehensive content, and as a guidebook to statistical sources. It would be a disservice to the American public to terminate the Statistical Abstract program. A democratic society is only made possible by an informed citizenry. The multitude of government statistical programs and publications can be difficult for many members of the public to understand and use. The government must support programs like the Statistical Abstract that enhance the availability of information. Many developed countries throughout the world publish Statistical Abstracts. It is a standard government publication that is universally popular as a tool to understand the state of a nation's social, political and economic functioning. Terminating the Statistical Abstract program would lower the United States international standing as free and open society that values unfettered access to information. Even in these trying economic times the Census Bureau must continue to support the mission of the Department of Commerce to "Improve understanding of the US economy, society and environment by providing timely, relevant, trusted and accurate data, standards and services enabling entities to make informed decisions." The Statistical Abstract program clearly supports this goal by providing a valuable directory to the wealth of statistical information produced by the US government and private sources. We must not let short-sighted and ineffective attempts at lowering the federal deficit stand in the way of upholding the values upon which our nation was founded: a democratic society supported by an informed public.

To: "Diedre Conkling" As you recall, in mid-February U.S. Rep. Scott Garrett (R-NJ-5) introduced an amendment to H.R. 1 that would eliminate all funding for the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) including funding for the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA), the primary source of federal dollars to libraries. This amendment was defeated because of the overwhelming number of messages to Congress that library advocates sent to their representatives. This is only the beginning of our fight to protect LSTA funding, aslibraries will continue to be threatened in this Congress. Now more than ever, we need your participation in ALA?s National Library Legislative Day in Washington, D.C., on May 9-10, 2011. As a participant in this event, you will have the opportunity to meet with your members of Congress and explain to them why cutting library funding would be short-sighted. Studies have shown that the number one way that members of Congress are influenced is by face-to-face meetings with their constituents. For additional information and to register for NLLD, please go to www.ala.org/nlld. On May 9, library advocates receive a day of briefings and have the opportunity to attend a Congressional reception on Capitol Hill where they can socialize with members of Congress and their staffs. The next day, library advocates will meet with their senators and representatives to talk about key library issues. We hope you can find time to attend this crucial event. If you have any questions, please call Kristin Murphy at (800) 941-8478 .

Here, editors Bazirjian and Mugridge present research and case studies indicating why and how teams apply to technical services, especially in academic libraries. Additionally, the book examines the relationships between professional and support staff and the changing roles of librarians today, including the impact of technology, and the ever-present issues surrounding performance evaluations, hiring, workloads and work flow, and reward and recognition. Sections cover "Theoretical/Historical Perspectives on Teams," "Effectiveness of the Team Structure," "Reevaluation of the Team Structure," and "Special Purpose Teams." Chapter contributors come from various sizes of academic libraries. Written for managers and administrators, this useful title emphasizes the need for an ongoing review of the organization's structure and its effectiveness in improving the performance of technical service units.

Buy Request: Just in Time vs. Just in Case at OSU Libraries Purchase on demand offers one way to increase the immediate, and potentially long-term, value of library collection purchases. OSU Libraries took advantage of ILL requesting to identify materials for purchase on demand (just in time purchases). Goals of the "Buy Request" pilot project included 1) meeting researchers' point-of-need material requests while 2) enhancing the current and future value of the collection. Kerri Goergen-Doll, ILL Supervisor, and Uta Hussong-Christian, Science Librarian, will present a brief overview of the project along with a more detailed discussion of patron feedback which provides context for the wide success of purchase on demand programs in general and provides direction for enhancing OSU Libraries' now-permanent service.

Message-ID: *More than Book Value: promotional strategies for moving today's library into tomorrow* Why would *you* be interested in *marketing*, *promotion*, and *branding*? Because: - These are the tools that eventually bring MONEY into your library. - These are the tools that shape the way your community AND YOUR FUNDERS think of your library. - These are the tools that help you REACH those community populations who are NOT USING your library. - These are the tools that COMMUNICATE THE GOOD you are already doing at your library. *If you are promoting your library well, even those people who never set foot inside will have a positive image of it... and will be more likely to support you... in an election, in collaboration, in GIVING YOU FUNDING.* ** Who will benefit from this preconference? Everyone! (directors, department managers, and outreach staff in particular) DESCRIPTION: Libraries are more than books, and worth much more than book value (the sum of all tangible assets). How do we educate our community and funders that libraries are more relevant than ever? Why promote our library when we already have more patrons than we can handle, and staff and resources have been cut? Because its the perfect time to show our communities and, in particular, our FUNDERS, how essential the library is! Marketing professionals and Librarians present strategies for promoting any size library, building support for library funding, innovative ways to reach and keep new patrons. Wednesday, April 6, 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM SPONSOR: Public Library Division PRICE: $75.00 ($45 for MLS students) Want to know more? Please see the attached flyer.

In a few years we will need to renew our local option tax. Others need to do the same thing. And even Hood River may add a local option tax at some point and want to use the signs again. I don't really have a great storage space but would be happy to try to find one and take the signs. I would work to make them available to any library district needing them and we whould use them when our tax measure is on the ballot.

Thursday, April 6, 2011 Public Library Division Banquet-Libraries: Essential for Learning, Essential for Life Presented by Molly Raphael, ALA President-elect, 2010-11 Libraries have had to change rapidly, particularly over the past two decades, in order to survive. As a result of the current economic conditions, we are witnessing even greater threats to our futures than we have ever experienced before. How can we position our libraries not just to survive but to thrive as we serve our diverse communities? What difficult choices will we have to make in the next few years to ensure that our value remains high for those we serve, no matter the type of library? Where and how can we find opportunities to move our libraries to a place where they are seen as essential for the future of the communities? Thursday, April 7, 2011 OLA President?s Banquet A nationally touring comedian, Dave Anderson has performed at the country?s premier comedy clubs, including the world famous Improv in Los Angeles. He has appeared on numerous television shows such as ?Star Search,?Showtime?s ?Commedy Club Network,? and ?An Evening at the Improv.? His comedy is heard around the world on Sirius and XM satellite radio. Most recently Dave was a contributing writer for the ?Tonight Show with Jay Leno.? He is currently co-host of the highly rated ?Mark and Dave Show? on 1190 KEX in Portland and host of the long running morning television talk show ?AM Northwest? on KATU TV. Dave?s unique ability to blend clean, intelligent material with audience interaction has made him a favorite at corporate events and college campuses across America. The audience plays a major role in Dave?s show. He has an amazing ability to turn ordinary conversations into hilarious comedy routines while remaining clean and inoffensive. The Oregonian dubbed him ?The quickest wit around.? The San Francisco Examiner said he was ?relaxed, likeable, and funny?? Willamette Week said, ?he adlibs better than most comedians write.? Because of his quick wit and audience rapport, no two shows are ever exactly alike. Key Dates Pre-conferences: April 6, 2011 Conference: April 7-8, 2011 We're looking forward to seeing you there!

I came across the item below yesterday from Isaac Gilman, MLIS Scholarly Communications & Research Services Librarian Assistant Professor Pacific University on the discussion list of the medical librarians in the Pacific Northwest and just want to send along the message I sent back, given how interesting the work Isaac is doing is and what a significant development in the world of librarianship the concept of library as publisher is. (And I also take the opportunity to plug ResearchRaven, which I work on and which I will discuss in a talk called Repackage! Repurpose! Aggregate!: Leveraging Free Content to Create Free Web Services of Your Own I am giving at the OLA conference in a few weeks--I have never been to an OLA meeting and am really pumped about finally going to one!). Now back to Issac's neat doings. This is what I wrote--Isaac's message is below mine. Hope I just want to commend Isaac Gilman for setting an admirable example of the new role many librarians are now playing in the world of open access publishing. Some libraries are carving out role as hosts of open access journals. Here is an interesting article on that development: The York Digital Journals Project: Strategies for Institutional Open Journal Systems Implementations http://pi.library.yorku.ca/dspace/handle/10315/4517?show=full Isaac is taking things to the next level by serving as the managing editor of the journal himself. Kudos to him and his institution for firmly situating libraries and librarians in the world of scholarly communications in the health sciences for the benefit of the health science community as a whole and in close cooperation with medical people.

If you want to learn more about it, I recommend you watch this video by one of the founders, Robert Darnton of Harvard. He gives a good summary of the vision and the planning issues: http://histsociety.blogspot.com/2011/03/interview-with-robert-darnton-on.html To learn even more, go to the DPLA wiki site. Just in the past few days they have posted a draft ?concept note? that provides more details about what the planners have in mind: http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/dpla/Concept_Note Along with others, I am pretty uncomfortable with calling this the Digital Public Library of America. Public libraries in the US are having a hard enough time defending their funding right now without having to explain why the DPLA will not make them obsolete in the future. Others have suggested just dropping the ?P? from the DPLA. What?s wrong with just having a Digital Library of America that simply adds value to what is already being provided by our local libraries? This project seems to be picking up a head of steam and may become very important to our future. I hope you will learn more about it, follow its progress, and weigh in if you have an opinion about it.

It s essential to the continuing health of an institution: the sharing of knowledge and experience not only helps less senior employees improve their job skills but transforms managers into stronger leaders. Noted reference librarian and researcher Lee offers librarians at all levels both her experience and her ideas about establishing a formal mentoring process at the library. Readers will learn * The kinds of skills the mentor should have, with techniques for successful development, education, and training * How to establish formal and informal mentoring arrangements, with a chapter devoted to mentoring librarians electronically * Keys to working with students, interns, volunteers, and individuals interested in a library science career In this useful book Lee shows librarians how mentoring can be both satisfying and good for career development and personal growth [book3.jpg] Mates, Barbara T. with contributions by William R.

Is Open Access (OA) the answer? In this ALA Editions Special Report, Crawford helps readers understand what OA is (and isn t), as he concisely * Analyzes the factors that have brought us to the current state of breakdown, including the skyrocketing costs of science, technology, engineering, and medicine (STEM) journals; consolidation of publishers and diminishing price competition; and shrinking library budgets * Summarizes the benefits and drawbacks of different OA models, such as Green, Gold, Gratis, Libre, and various hybrid forms * Discusses ways to retain peer-review, and methods for managing OA in the library, including making OA scholarly publishing available to the general public Addressing the subject from the library perspective while taking a realistic view of corporate interests, Crawford presents a coherent review of what Open Access is today and what it may become.

Repurpose! Aggregate!: Leveraging Free Content to Create Free Web Message-ID: Hi, all. Being utterly shameless at self-promotion, I would just like to point out that in a case of splendid timing, the state of Oregon has just launched an Open Data Web Site. It can be read about here: http://informationweek.com/news/government/state-local/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=229400174 The site itself is here: http://data.oregon.gov/ What a marvelous opportunity for Oregon library folks to create Oregon-specific tools like some of the non-Oregon-specific ones at data.gov: http://www.data.gov/developers/showcase I mention this because the talk I am giving at the OLA Annual conference is all about harnessing such data troves to create Web services and applications. Here is the abstract about my session. Time: 4/7/2011, 4:00:00 PM Title: Repackage! Repurpose! Aggregate!: Leveraging Free Content to Create Free Web Services of Your Own Description: 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. Lets geek together and learn how easy it is to make cool services that serve the public and advance learning, scholarship and science. Speakers: Hope Leman And in my abstract, I mentioned only the federal government, not even realizing at that point that we would soon have Oregon-level data to work with.

(Friday 2:00-3:30pm) * * 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. *Just Mash-it Up - Cool Tools for Collection Management (Thursday 11:00-12:30pm) * * 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 (Thursday 4:00-5:15pm) * * 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 (Friday 8:30-10:00am) * * 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 (Thursday 2:00-3:00pm) * * 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. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

HOWEVER, if your library community is more like mine, you could probably benefit from the insights of some industry experts to help you develop the kind of support your library needs to both get the funding you need and to reach the members of your community who most need your services. Do you want everyone to have a warm fuzzy feeling about your library so the next time they have a choice about whether to fund you they say "YES!" Then you need to show them that your library has... MORE THAN BOOK VALUE. Join us at the Salem Conference Center on Wednesday, April 6, for a preconference that's packed with practical information about things that ANY library can do on ANY budget to create a "brand" for their library and build a positive image with your community and your funders. You will have a chance to learn from and interact with some top experts in branding and marketing. You can't afford to miss this! See the attached flyer for more information. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. -- Su Liudahl Library Director Creswell Library / Lane Library District 64 West Oregon Avenue PO Box 366 Creswell, Oregon 97426 (541) 895-3053 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

PRECONFERENCE: Managing Vendor Relationships (Wednesday, April 6th from 9-4 pm at the Salem Conference Center): Rice Majors (Emporia SLIM alum) has gathered a top notch group of presenters and he and Rachel Bridgewater (another SLIM alum) will be moderators. The presentations and discussions will add to your working knowledge of the interplay between vendors, library software, and libraries. Information-seeking behavior of library vendors Rice Majors, University of Colorado Robert Allen, bepress Marjorie McLaughlin, Innovative Interfaces Partnerships with vendors: case studies & lessons learned Steve Casburn, Multnomah County Library Steve Shadle, University of Washington Future of library vendors: new sorts of partnerships Carl Grant, Ex Libris Andrew Pace, OCLC Neal Block, Innovative Interfaces When is a vendor not a vendor? Margaret Mellinger, Oregon State University Margaret Bean, University of Oregon SOCIAL HOUR (Wednesday, April 6th): Mix and mingle at ACRL Oregon's reception from 5:00-7:00pm at Bentley's Grill (conveniently connected to the Salem Conference Center) ! CONFERENCE PROGRAMS (April 7-8): All Textbooks on Reserve in the Library! (Friday 2:00-3:30pm) * 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. Just Mash-it Up - Cool Tools for Collection Management (Thursday 11:00-12:30pm) * 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 (Thursday 4:00-5:15pm) * 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 (Friday 8:30-10:00am) * 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 (Thursday 2:00-3:00pm) * 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. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In this era of shameless promotion, the Past Presidents do not want to be left out. As a group (ok, Round Table) and individually, we are fairly talented at shameless promotion. We'd like to pass these skills on to you. You won't regret it. Btw, have I mentioned our fundraiser? Oops, there I go, shameless promotion. More on that later. In all seriousness, please join our session and panel presentation on Friday at 11:00 to learn more about being involved in OLA. OLA is only as good as the people who step up to volunteer for the positions which keep the organization going. It's a tremendous honor and opportunity to serve OLA, but how does one go about it? What kind of toll does it really take on one's real life and job? We have a great panel line-up for you as well as results from our survey to share. You know you want to be there.

The OLA Association Manager will explain support provided. Official responsibilities and unstated expectations will be revealed. Actual time commitments will be acknowledged. Thrilling moments and lurid OLA secrets will be divulged. The ultimate questions "Why be involved" and "How to cope with being involved" will be answered. Audience participation will assist OLA in developing methods to mentor new leaders, advance them through the organization, and keep them involved over time.

What you need is a work-around. In this Webcast, Russell Bishop explains the art of the work-around: a method for accomplishing a task or goal when the normal process isn't producing the desired results. Work-arounds help you break through the tasks and systems that keep you from the important stuff.

(Infopeople) Library patrons are not merely consulting online resources in libraries. They are interacting with e-government services such as social services, the DMV and many more.

Librarians are concerned about personal liability, and libraries have concerns about institutional liability if this information is compromised, or if the patron claims that incorrect information was provided by the library. Learn about the types of exposure that libraries face, and how to minimize it. Sample phrases are offered to staff in conducting these new reference interactions.

Message-ID: Support PATRIOT Act Reforms! March 31, 2011 ( No Comments) Congress will be acting soon to renew the USA PATRIOT Act, so now is the time to weigh in with your representative and Senators. Three provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act ? including Section 215, the ?library? provision ? expire on May 27, 2011. Call your representative and Senators and urge them to support reforms as a condition of renewal. The American Library Association supports S. 193, the USA PATRIOT Act Sunset Extension Act of 2011, which was introduced by Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-VT) and recently approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee. ALA and the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) sent a letter to Chairman Leahy supporting this bill. While similar legislation has not been introduced in the House, given the impending deadline this is still a good time to urge House members to support reforms that protect the privacy of innocent Americans.
