State Librarian Jim Scheppke has announced his retirement at the end of 2011. The Board reviewed a timetable and instructed Lawson to move ahead with an email survey of State Library stakeholders to solicit input on desired qualities of a new Oregon State Librarian. At the June 17th Board meeting, Lawson and Ballard will report on the recruitment plan progress and review the draft job posting. The Board will hear public comment, and consider adopting the final recruitment plan, job posting, and consider selecting screening panel members. The Board also spoke to Carrie Ottow, the current chair of the Oregon Digital Library Consortium, about their recent decision to deny an application from the State Library to become a member of the Consortium. The State Library Board sought membership to be able to offer Library2Go services to Oregonians without public library services. Ottow shared what she believes were some of the reasons why the State Library's application was unsuccessful. The Board may decide to apply again for membership in 2012. The Board also conducted a self-assessment based on a list of 15 "best practices" for state boards and commissions and determined for the third straight year that all of the best practices were met by the Board. The next meeting of the State Library Board will be held on June 17th at the Josephine County Library in Grants Pass. STAKEHOLDER SURVEY LAUNCHED The Stakeholder survey to get input on the desired qualities of a new Oregon State Librarian opened on April 22nd and is due to close on May 16th. Twyla Lawson is excited about leading this process and looks forward to hearing from the varied library communities and stakeholders. If you would like to provide your thoughts on the attributes of the next State Librarian, click the following link to access the Stakeholder survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/OSLibrary. The responses will be compiled and used to develop the candidate profile for the selection process. Please contact Twyla Lawson at (503) 373-7677 if you have questions or would like to provide comments on the State Librarian's recruitment plan and appointment process. State Library News FFY 2011 LSTA ALLOTMENT REDUCED The FFY 2011 budget that Congress passed to prevent a shutdown and to fund the Federal government through the end of the year makes a 6.2% cut to Oregon's LSTA funding. Oregon's LSTA allotment for FFY 2011 will be $2,213,648, which is down $146,158 from the FFY 2010 allotment. The LSTA Advisory Council and the State Library Board have been conservative in their budgeting so we expect this will not cause any major problems in funding for competitive grants and statewide programs funded by LSTA. The LSTA Advisory Council will be discussing this at their meeting in May and will be making recommendations to the State Library Board at their meeting in June. LIBRARY DEVELOPMENT CUSTOMER SERVICE SURVEY WILL LAUNCH IN MAY The Library Development Services team will launch their annual customer service survey on May 13th. The survey link will be sent to library directors and other constituent groups of Library Development, including youth services librarians, school librarians, libraries with Plinkit websites, and LSTA grantees. For more information, please contact MaryKay Dahlgreen. CALL TBABS WHEN PLANNING YOUR NEXT STAFF DEVELOPMENT DAY Are you planning a staff development day and need a short, informational interlude?

Other Library News IMLS ANNOUNCES LEARNING LAB GRANTS The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation will commit $4 million to create up to 30 new Learning Labs in libraries and museums. The Urban Libraries Council and the Association of Science-Technology Centers will be responsible for supporting a network of Learning Labs that will use best practice principles, based on research and evidence in the field of youth digital learning, to engage youth in 21st century skills and effective science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education. The partners will administer a grant competition to support up to 30 Learning Labs in libraries and museums, provide technical assistance to applicants and awardees, facilitate communication among the network of lab sites, convene grantees, create and maintain an online toolkit of resources, and develop an evaluation framework identifying program outcomes and disseminate the results. In late May 2011, an RFP for "Learning Lab Applications" for eligible library and museum applicants will be issued, with a deadline of late July 2011 for grants of up to $100,000 for each Learning Lab. Awards will be announced by IMLS in October/November 2011. This will be the first of two grant rounds, with the second deadline to occur in April/May 2012.

SCHOOL LIBRARY ADVOCATES RALLY AFTER DISTRICTS ANNOUNCE LIBRARY CUTS Beaverton and Salem-Keizer School Districts are among the last in the state to have licensed school librarians in every school. With the current school budget crisis, both districts announced plans to drastically cut their library programs. Beaverton proposed eliminating half of their librarians and assigning the remaining half to two schools each while Salem-Keizer plans to cut all K-8 librarians. School library advocates in both districts quickly organized and demonstrated their support in various ways. Teachers, parents, students, professors, community leaders, and librarians have spoken or are scheduled to speak at budget committee hearings and board meetings. Among other things, they emphasized the importance of the school librarian's role in developing students' joy of reading; stressed the school library impact studies; showcased successful collaborations between teachers and librarians; discussed the importance of teaching information literacy and technology skills; and highlighted how library curriculum ties in directly with district literacy and technology goals. Both Beaverton and Salem-Keizer districts' library supporters have a Facebook page for disseminating information and have posted videos, flyers, budget hearing dates, support letters from authors, and more. Advocates have been successful in drawing or using the media's attention, as evidenced by the amount of news coverage about the situation in Beaverton and Salem-Keizer. The next opportunity for public input in Beaverton is at the May 9th School Board meeting and in Salem-Keizer is at the Budget Committee Public Meeting on May 3rd and 4th. P.S. (From the State Librarian) Like most of my state librarian colleagues I am very excited about the planning effort underway for a national digital library. The effort began last fall at the Berkman Center at Harvard University. Several prominent academic research librarians and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation got the ball rolling and a steering committee has now been formed and a stakeholders meeting was held in March. The state librarians feel well represented on the steering committee for the project which is now called the Digital Public Library of America. We have Peggy Rudd, the Texas State Librarian as our representative on the committee, along with Susan Hildreth, the former California State Librarian, who is now the Director of the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Our own Molly Raphael, the President-Elect of the American Librarian Association, was also invited to the March meeting and will certainly be influential as the project develops. There have been some who worry that the project will be dominated by academic research librarians and the interests of public librarians will not be heard. I don't worry about that, given that Peggy, Susan and Molly will be involved. There does need to be better school library representation and I hope we will see that soon. The U.S. is behind most of the rest of the developed world in beginning to build a national digital library. European countries like Norway, the Netherlands and France have been at this for several years now, and the European Union has an portal site called Europeana, with links to 15 million items: books, music, films and art. Maybe some Americans were waiting for the private sector (e.g., Google) to do this for us. I am thankful that librarians are finally taking the bull by the horns and moving ahead with our own project. There is now a concept paper for the project that makes clear in the very first sentence that the project aims to "make the cultural and scientific heritage of humanity available, free of charge, to all." But like a number of my state librarian colleagues, I do have a problem with the name: Digital Public Library of America. Most of us are worried that this name would likely have the unintended consequence of undermining support for real brick and mortar public libraries. There are over 16,000 of them in communities and neighborhoods across the U.S. and many of them are struggling for funding right now, even though their use is higher than it's ever been. I understand there was a lot of discussion of the name at the first meeting in March. Expect a lot more discussion in the future. The state librarians and public librarians I've talked to about it have pretty strong feelings, as they should. Hey, what's wrong with Digital Library of America? I think it has a nice ring to it. - 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.

ISBN 978-1-55653-393-8 Geek the Library, a community awareness campaign designed to highlight the vital role of public libraries and raise awareness about the critical funding issues many libraries face, was developed based on the research findings included in From Awareness to Funding: A study of library support in America. This study, published by OCLC in 2008, found that increasing funding support for public libraries requires changing community perceptions. This new report documents the results of the Geek the Library pilot campaign conducted in partnership with nearly 100 public libraries in Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa and Wisconsin. The results are optimistic. The report suggests that Geek the Library can change perceptions about libraries, librarians and public library funding, and that implementation of the campaign can positively impact public library funding trends. Findings include: * Geek the Library gets people's attention. In just five months, more than half of surveyed residents were familiar with the campaign. * Geek the Library raises awareness. Perceptions and attitudes around the library's importance and value in the community improved in southern Georgia, and more people said they were willing to fund the library. * Geek the Library encourages action. Over two-thirds of surveyed residents in both southern Georgia and central Iowa had planned or had taken an action as a result of the campaign, including talking to friends and family about the library or attending a library event. The report contains details from qualitative and quantitative research, as well as interesting insights based on the experiences of participating libraries.

We're pleased to have Valerie Gross back to present an extended version of "Transforming Our Image" -- including a segment that helps participants implement this library-changing concept. WORDS make the difference. Learn about a simple, effective strategy that will make you, your library, and your profession indispensible. It does not require changing anything you do...only modifying what you say. Based on Valerie Gross' award-winning article, Transforming Our Image through Words That Work: Perception Is Everything (Public Libraries, Volume 48, Number 5 (2009): 24-32), this webinar will describe a straightforward concept that enables libraries to heighten their importance by replacing traditional terms with powerful, intuitive, value-enhanced terminology. At the conclusion of the webinar, you will have gained the skills and confidence to: * Redefine libraries in a new, innovative way * Align your library with what the community values most: education * Heighten your library's visibility and stature * Develop strategies that you can integrate immediately into your work * Introduce the philosophy and strategic vocabulary concepts to staff, Board, elected officials, Friends/Foundation Board, customers, community, and the media. Click here for a full description of the webinar and instructor Valerie Gross. __________________________________________________________ CHANGE the dialogue at your library.

Virtual Library Legislative Day is part of the American Library Association?s (ALA) National Library Legislative Day on May 10, when hundreds of library advocates will descend on Capitol Hill to meet with members of Congress and their staffs. Library advocates who cannot make it to Capitol Hill for the event can still be a part of the effort by calling and/or e-mailing their elected officials on May 10 ? or any time the week of May 9-13. The Association of Library Trustees, Advocates, Friends and Foundations (ALTAFF), the ALA Washington Office, ALA Chapter Relations, and the ALA Office for Library Advocacy will lead Virtual Library Legislative Day, an opportunity for all library advocates to make their voices heard on a national level. ALTAFF Executive Director Sally Gardner Reed encourages all advocates to take part in this united effort to ensure America?s libraries can continue to serve the public. ?If citizens who care for libraries remain silent, it?s the same as saying they are okay with low budgets and closed libraries,? Reed said. ?The only way for us to make a difference is to make our voices heard.? National Library Legislative Day began in 1976. In 2003, Friends of Libraries U.S.A. began a virtual component to engage Friends of the Library groups, library advocates, and supporters around the country who could not travel to Washington, D.C. for the main event. Now its ninth consecutive year, the virtual campaign continues to support the efforts of those who attend this important day in Washington, D.C. and meet with their elected officials in person. Talking points and links to contact information for members of Congress are available on the ALTAFF website (www.ala.org/altaff) and www.ilovelibraries.org. Both web sites also provide a flyer and bookmarks for library advocates to print, e-mail, or post on their websites to help spread the word in their communities. In addition, a recorded webcast available on both websites highlights actions advocates can take to support the library community in Washington, D.C. For more information, visit www.ala.org/altaff or www.ilovelibraries.org. More information about National Library Legislative Day, including a list of events for those who plan to participate in Washington, D.C., can be found online at http://www.ala.org/ala/issuesadvocacy/advocacy/nlld/index.cfm. ### ALTAFF is a division of the American Library Association that supports citizens who govern, promote, advocate, and fundraise for libraries. ALTAFF brings together library Trustees, advocates, Friends, and Foundations into a partnership that creates a powerful force for libraries in the 21st century.

One of our library board members visited each of the businesses which agreed to have a bin nearby and shared the Oregonian article with the owner. He also pointed out that the bins were impacting the Library and that what the bins seemed to advertise is a bit misleading. He had some luck in getting them to agree to move the bins to more out of the way locations, or mitigate the local impact in some way. He was pretty fired up. Most library supporters are quite dismayed. Also I know we will at least briefly discuss this at the District level later this week at our Advisory Committee meeting.

Demystifying the Publishing Process, One Author at a Time Portland, Oregon, May 9th, 2011?Student-run Ooligan Press is pleased to announce its third annual Write to Publish Conference at Portland State University on May 21st and 22nd. Aimed at demystifying the publishing process, this unique conference offers writers of all levels the opportunity to learn directly from industry professionals and fellow authors what it takes to get published. The two-day event will include a workshop day on May 21st, in which publishing professionals and authors will offer a variety of classes and discussion panels intended for aspiring writers, published authors, and industry professionals. On May 22nd there will be an open house and industry mingle featuring an author stage where guest authors will discuss their personal experiences navigating the publishing process. Brian Doyle, Ariel Gore, Barry Sanders, and Oregon Book Award winners Willy Vlautin and David Biespiel are among the authors who will be speaking on this day. Write to Publish differs from other writing conferences in that it focuses on the process of getting published rather than exploring the specific craft of writing. Ooligan Press encourages all who are interested in books to attend Write to Publish. This year?s conference theme is ?Open Books,? which is inspired by Ooligan?s line of sustainably published books, the OpenBook Series. The theme is intended to encourage dialogue that fosters greater understanding about sustainable publishing options for both writers and publishers alike. Workshops are $35 each, or $120 for a full-day pass (four workshops). Students can purchase single workshop tickets for $26 or a full-day pass for $100. Ticket prices for the second day are $10 for the general public and $8 for students. Attendees who purchase a full-day workshop pass receive a free pass for the second day. To purchase tickets please contact the PSU Box Office at (503) 725-3307 , toll-free at 888-845-8457 , or by email at tickets at pdx.edu. Tickets for individual workshops (no full-day passes) can also be purchased online through Ticketmaster ; however, fees do apply. Ooligan Press was founded in 2001 as a nonprofit, student-run, general trade press that publishes books honoring the cultural and natural diversity of the Pacific Northwest. Affiliated with Portland State University?s master?s program in writing and publishing, Ooligan Press provides projects in which students combine theory with practice by publishing profitable books in real markets. For additional information about the conference, please visit the Write to Publish website at http://www.ooliganpress.pdx.edu/w2p/.

Many reasons were brought up as to why members who could vote didn't. Instead of settling for assumptions, however, a survey was created to find the answer(s). Please fill this survey out if you are a member of the American Library Association but didn't vote in the most recent election. There are only three questions on the survey, and two are optional so it will take mere minutes (maybe even seconds, depending how fast you click and type). Your feedback is anonymous. The results will be shared on this list. Here's the link to the ALA Election Participation Survey: http://bit.ly/jSFMzy Feel free to repost the link (or this message) wherever ALA members gather.

Thank you! *From:* Beth Nawalinski *Sent:* Monday, May 09, 2011 10:14 AM *To:* ala-allstaff; 'FOLUSA-L at tlaulsv01.thomsonlearning.COM'; ' altafftr at ala.org'; 'altaffbd at ala.org' *Subject:* 5 Minutes Can Make a Difference for Libraries - Act Now! *ALA Virtual Legislative Day allows library advocates to contact Congress from home* [image: cid:image001.jpg at 01CC040D.23B4A8F0] Virtual Library Legislative Day is part of the American Library Association?s (ALA) National Library Legislative Day on May 10, when hundreds of library advocates will descend on Capitol Hill to meet with members of Congress and their staffs. Library advocates who cannot make it to Capitol Hill for the event can still be a part of the effort by calling and/or e-mailing their elected officials on May 10 ? or any time the week of May 9-13. So the trip to Washington isn?t in your budget? No problem! By calling and/or e-mailing your elected officials in Washington and asking them to vote for libraries, you can make a difference. Just five minutes of your time will help support and strengthen the efforts of the library supporters in Washington rallying on May 10. If you cannot call or e-mail your elected official on May 10, please do so sometime between May 9-13. Spread the word ? please share this opportunity to voice support for libraries to your Friends group members, Board of Trustees, library staff, patrons, and community at large. To help you achieve this, ALTAFF has provided a reproducible bookmark and flyer. Both can be found at http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/altaff/advocacy/virtualmarch/index.cfm. You can also promote on Facebook. RSVP (and share the event on your Facebook page) at http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=215175918508373. Not sure who your elected officials are? Go to the Legislative Action Center at http://capwiz.com/ala/home/. If you have never used it before, check out the video tutorial at http://vimeo.com/10379244. Please contact your elected officials today with the following requests: *APPROPRIATIONS FY2012 * - Fund the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) at $232 million, the level last authorized in December 2010; - Preserve the Improving Literacy Through School Libraries program with its own budget line and appropriate the program at its FY2010 level of $19.1 million; - Maintain funding for the U.S. Census Bureau?s Statistical Compendia Branch at $2.9 million in order to preserve publication of ?Statistical Abstracts? and other publications; - Fund the Salaries and Expenses work of the Government Printing Office (GPO) at $42,173,000 to preserve public access through the FDLP and FedSYS. *Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) (School Libraries): * - Support student performance by including an effective school library program as part of ESEA through the LEARN Act to include: - A school library staffed by a state-certified school librarian; - A school library with up-to-date books, materials, equipment, and technology, including broadband connectivity; and - Instruction by librarians for students and staff on digital and computer literacy skills, including collaboration between classroom teachers and school librarians to develop and implement the curriculum and other school reforms.

DVD of webinar aired April 8, 2011. 025.3 Catal2 1 hr. 30 min. run time The cataloging rules "Resource Description and Access" (RDA) have the potential to transform the ways libraries create, use and share their data. 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. Be sure to check out our Library and Information Science (LIS) blog (http://osl-lis.blogspot.com/) to discover the most recent additions to our LIS collection and search our catalog (http://oregon.gov/OSL/index.shtml) for our complete holdings. The library science collection is meant to support the whole Oregon library community.

There are lots of great letters here, but I was excited to see that Oregon Governor Tom McCall was one of the people that wrote to the children: ? Books are essential in the life and development of the child. They are a stimulus to ? his intelligence and imagination, an incentive to independent thinking and a source ? of information and enjoyment. It is in childhood that the use and enjoyment of books ? should be learned.

At a discussion last night at Clackamas County's library district advisory group, George Hoyt shared the excellent idea of approaching local Chambers of Commerce on this issue. I took this ball and ran with it, and wrote the article below for their newsletter. I share it in case it is useful to anyone else-feel free to adapt! Donating books? Forget about the blue boxes-give them to your library! Recent newspaper articles have highlighted something that is having a devastating effect on public libraries: a for-profit company that's placing blue "Books for Charity" donation bins across the country. Although the information on the boxes implies that the donated books go to help people, most are sold for profit or recycled. Most importantly, these donation bins are siphoning off book donations from public libraries and Friends of the Library groups. When you donate books to your Canby library, your gift goes to work right here in Canby. Some donations are added directly to the library's collection, others are sold in the Friends' Book Store to raise money to buy new materials or to support library programs like Summer Reading and Music in the Stacks. Two of the "fake charity" blue boxes have been spotted already in Canby but we are hoping not to experience the stark drop in library donations that other libraries have seen after their arrival, as this hurts both the library and our Friends. So, what can you do to help? * If you have gently used books to donate, forget about the blue boxes-instead, bring them to your Canby Public Library! Smaller amounts can be put directly in our book drop in the alley beside the library (292 N. Holly Street), or you can ring the bell by the book drop during the library's open hours and we'll help you unload them. * If you're approached by the company that manages these blue boxes (Thrift Recycling Management) with a request to host one on your property and would like more information, contact library director Penny Hummel (503.266.4021 or hummelp at ci.canby.or.us) As fellow Chamber members, the Canby Public Library and the Friends of the Canby Public Library thank you for your support!

When this came up on Sunday, she called them again and talked with me and one of the results is that I have 20 boxes of books from them in my storage room waiting for my Friends to look through them to see if they are sellable. I opened two boxes and they were paperbacks, current and in good condition. Who knows what the others will be, I'll let you know. They stated they had gotten 2166 pounds of books from the Newberg area boxes and they would donate 25% (541 pounds or about 550 books) to the Friends and the Literacy coalition and that would be their ongoing plan, if our Friends liked what they got. They will do that for any Friends group who asks. We have 9 bins in the Newberg area so we were deeply affected by them. I'm trying to look at this as an opportunity to make the community more aware of the need to donate directly to the library (we've never felt the need to do that before) and to also try to make it convenient for them to donate as well, since those bins are very convenient. I think that is the lesson of the big blue bins and Penny's article to her chamber is excellent in that way. We're also thinking that if we dump our unsellables in the bins that will serve to increase the total poundage and thus our 25% returned to the community will be higher. It has always been a challenge to find a way to recycle library discards and the moldy junk we get, so it may provide us with that method as well ;-) We are also looking at talking to some of the businesses with bins and getting them to have them removed since we have so many. One in the community might be enough to allow some of the junk to be pulped and still keep a good stream going to our Friends. Anyway, that's how we're dealing with those big blue bins in Newberg.

If we aren't willing to read books on our own time, I personally believe we are in the wrong profession. If we need to be paid for every minute we spend thinking about how we can better serve our community or by reading current literature to become a better librarian and readers' advisor, shame on us! We have the best job in the world - we are paid to share our passion - how lucky! At a time when school librarians are fighting to have jobs at all and public libraries struggle to maintain staffing, to begin a discussion about getting paid to read books seems out of touch. If you really don't believe you have time to read outside of work, you can rely on the many librarians who do read current literature and generously share their work with all of us.

If they're professionals on staff, they're hired to do their work and it's up to them to adjust their workflow. Karen Fischer's thoughtful response earlier today speaks to this aspect. If they're hourly on staff, I'd first look at what in their routine could be put aside to make room for time to prepare and if they had to put in extra hours to make sure it got done after an adjustment was made, I'd ask them if they'd prefer time off/swap hours or money added for that pay period. All of this would be contingent on HR regulations for your library, of course.

If you are so inclined, could you please post the following blurb to any librarian listservs you subscribe to? Of course, feel free to volunteer yourself. And, if you'd like to help run the library, that would be great, too - just let me know. Thanks! Julie Blurb: SRRT is still looking for human books! The Social Responsibilities Round Table (SRRT) of the American Library Association is seeking volunteers to participate in a Human Library, to be held from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. on Monday, June 27 at ALA?s Annual Conference in New Orleans. Volunteers will serve as human ?books? and help ?readers? better understand people of different backgrounds and cultures. ?The human books are checked out for one-on-one, respectful conversations that will last about 20 minutes. This unique opportunity allows the books and readers together to raise awareness of the biases and prejudices that we all have. The program ultimately promotes appreciation for differences in background and culture. Examples of books range from Tea Party members to police officers, liberals, academic librarians, people with disabilities, ex-gang members, someone who identifies as LGBTQ, communists, Muslims, members of the military, avid sports fan, male nanny - the list is endless! If you have ever felt you are being judged because of how you look or who you are, and you are willing to have a conversation about that experience, we want you as a title in our Human Library. More information about the Human Library can be found at humanlibrary.org. To sign up as book or if you have any questions, please contact Julie Winkelstein at: 2011humanlibrary at gmail.com ___________________ For everything about SRRT lists, go to:http://lists.ala.org/sympa/info/srrtac-l -- Diedre Conkling Lincoln County Library District P.O.

Spread the word if you can. This is a benefit for the Jefferson Public Library building project. --> Jim Bestselling author Steve Berry to speak May 24 at Jefferson Library benefit luncheon New York Times bestselling author Steve Berry will discuss his newly released book The Jefferson Key at a fundraising luncheon Tuesday, May 24, from noon to 3 p.m. at the historic Mission Mill Museum at 1313 Mill Street SE, Salem, OR sponsored by the Friends of the Jefferson Library to benefit the preservation of the 150-year-old Jacob Conser House (which currently serves as the library) and to build a new library. In this time of drastic cuts in library funding, Mr. Berry?s love for libraries and passion to preserve our historic treasures made this cause near to his heart. For information and reservations, please call 541.327.2423 or visit http://jeffersonlibrary2010.blogspot.com/. Steve Berry is the bestselling author of The Emperor?s Tomb, The Paris Vendetta, The Charlemagne Pursuit, The Venetian Betrayal, The Alexandra Link, The Templar Legacy, The Third Secret, The Romanov Prophecy and The Amber Room. A fixture on the New York Times bestseller lists, Berry has been translated into 40 languages, and has more than 11 million printed books in 51 countries, worldwide. A devoted student of history, Berry is dedicated to researching his novels in depth. In 2010 he and his wife, Elizabeth, founded History Matters -- a nonprofit organization dedicated to aiding the preservation of the fragile reminders of our past. Since then, they have traveled the world raising much-needed funds for a wide range of historic preservation projects. His latest book is The Jefferson Key (Ballantine Books, May 2011). Beginning with the attempted assassination of President Andrew Jackson, Berry takes his readers on another slalom course of thrills as he deftly combines suspense with solid historical fact. Former Justice Department operative, now Copenhagen bookseller, Cotton Malone, returns to the United States for his first domestic adventure. Along the way he battles an obscure clause in the Constitution, Thomas Jefferson's secret cipher, an old enemy out for revenge, and a cadre of modern day pirates firmly rooted in their buccaneer ways. ------ End of Forwarded Message -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Most school teachers are salaried, while most teacher's aides are hourly. Creating lesson plans, grading papers, and other "homework" comes with being a salaried teacher. Likewise, most professional librarians are salaried, which most paraprofessionals are not. There is no overtime pay for salaried employees, but there is for hourly ones. You cannot require an hourly employee to perform job-related tasks "off the clock" (without compensation). Philosophically it may come down to devotion, commitment, or whatever you want to call it. Legally, however, it comes down to whether the staff member in question is salaried or hourly. In some cases it might depend on how closely the extra duty compares with the regular paid duties of the employee, and whether the extra duty was volunteered by the employee or was requested or required by the supervisor. If it is essentially the same thing the person is normally paid to do, it probably must be paid time,. If it is requested or required by the supervisor, it must be paid time. You cannot, as an hourly employee, volunteer to work extra hours for free if the extra work is virtually the same thing you normally get paid to do. In addition to state and federal labor laws, local collective bargaining agreements can also determine whether the time must be paid, and at what rate. -Bob Jones Milton-Freewater Public Library -----Original Message----- From: libs-or-bounces at listsmart.osl.state.or.us [mailto:libs-or-bounces at listsmart.osl.state.or.us] On Behalf Of David Pauli Sent: Tuesday, May 17, 2011 2:56 PM To: Dana Campbell; 'Karen Fischer'; libs-or at listsmart.osl.state.or.us Subject: Re: [Libs-Or] Booktalk preparation guidelines for compensation Here is a counterpoint to that argument.

Thanks Bob! I question, however, if most professional librarians are indeed "salaried employees." Aren't most non-management public librarians "hourly" employees? (I've been in this business for 25 years and have always received overtime or comp time when my schedule exceeded 40 hours/week.) 2) Another aspect of this question is librarians' equity with municipal/county government professionals of similar education and work responsibility. For example, would a non-management accountant, planner, or recreation specialist be expected to produce assigned work beyond 40 hours without overtime pay or comp time? Probably not. While I agree that librarianship is indeed a vocation -- and a wonderfully fulfilling, world-changing one, at that -- working "off the clock" only perpetuates the expectation that librarians work for the "good of humanity" and somehow don't require the funding, stability, and professional recognition given to other civil servants. Volunteering to read, reading for the "love of reading" or reading for professional development is not the same as being expected to read for a job assignment. I'd lean towards compensating this employee.

If you are a represented employee in Oregon City, you are forbidden to work off the clock. This conversation has not been about whether one is a committed librarian, but rather whether one is a union-represented librarian. And I agree.

Daphne Kouretas Member Services Consultant - OCLC Email daphne_kouretas at oclc.org OCLC NetWorkShop: Perceptions of Libraries: Context and Community Thursday 26 May, 10.00am-noon, Multnomah County Central Library US Bank Room Join us for this informal, experimental, and interactive networking opportunity/workshop to hear highlights from OCLC's recent market research on the online practices and perceptions of today's increasingly confident, empowered information consumer. We'll break into discussions to explore our own experiences and interpretations of OCLC's data, and reconvene to compare notes about what this means for library technology, services, and outreach in the Pacific Northwest. Together we'll consider: what's tomorrow's information consumer thinking about, today? How and where does she seek information? What does he think of the library? What advice do users have for us? Does the Pacific Northwest conform to national trends? Background: OCLC's recent market research report, Perceptions of Libraries 2010: Context and Community , explores the changing technological and economic environments of the past eight years, and how users in different life-stages perceive and use the library. If perception is reality - or more accurately, if perception predicts tomorrow's reality, then we need hard data about user perceptions to guide our service development, marketing and more. RSVP (required): Please RSVP and direct questions to daphne_kouretas at oclc.org Coffee and refreshments will be provided. Free to attend.

Hector Tobar summarized the situation this way: ?If state education cuts are drastic, the librarians' only chance of keeping a paycheck is to prove they're qualified to be switched to classroom teaching. So LAUSD attorneys grill them.?

Together, AASL President Nancy Everhart and ALA President Roberta Stevens, have released an Open Letter to the Los Angeles Unified School District on the defunding of school librarians. Citing the need for a school librarian in every school, the letter urges LAUSD to reconsider their options: ?Can Los Angeles afford to leave its students behind? The elimination of these positions will have a devastating effect on the educational prospects and success of the District?s students. A good school library is not an option ? it is essential to a good education.? AASL and ALA will continue to monitor events in LA as they unfold and will continue to advocate for the indispensible role of the school librarian as an educator who empowers students to be learners for life.

Let us know! In 2008 Library Research Service launched our first 60-second survey, "What is the Value of an MLIS to You?," in response to lively discussions about this topic on various listservs. Close to 2,000 library professionals weighed in, with over 1,000 leaving thoughtful comments about the MLIS degree. Three years later, as libraries and the environments in which they serve continue to change and evolve, LRS wondered how has the value of an MLIS fared? LRS has launched a new 60-Second Survey on the value of an MLIS to you. Do you feel your MLIS degree was/is worth the time and money invested in it? If asked today, would you recommend pursuing an MLIS degree? You tell us.

Ra?l Grijalva (AZ-7), a member of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, today highlighted major concerns about the recently introduced first part of an expected package of bills by House Republicans to reform the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) education law. In his statement, Grijalva highlighted some of the cuts ?as perfect examples of what we should be strengthening if we want to improve public education in this country.?

On Friday, the associations called on the Senate to amend S. 1038 to establish 2013, rather than 2015, as the next sunset year for three expiring sections of the PATRIOT Act. The associations released the following joint statement of support for the Paul amendment: Today we are endorsing Senator Rand Paul?s amendment to return Section 215 of the Act to its pre-2001 form, limiting surveillance under that provision to suspected terrorists and spies and restoring privacy to the records of innocent library users. We are also endorsing Senator Patrick Leahy and Senator Paul?s amendment to add reforms from Senator Leahy?s bill, S. 193, the USA PATRIOT Act Sunset Extension Act of 2011. Of the three expiring sections, Section 215 (also known as the ?library records provision?) has always been of serious concern to the library community. This provision upsets well-established expectations of reader privacy by opening library records to government scrutiny with a showing of mere ?relevance? to an investigation. Our associations have long sought reforms to restore the balance between the government?s need to conduct surveillance and the constitutional rights of personal privacy. We are dismayed that today?s planned Senate vote for a straight four-year extension signals Congress will once again miss an opportunity to institute reform. During this Congress our organizations have endorsed S. 193, the USA PATRIOT Act Sunset Extension Act of 2011, based on its improved reader privacy protections. We applaud Senator Leahy for introducing the bill as well as the members of the Senate Judiciary Committee who endorsed these reforms. The library community is disappointed that meaningful floor debate and a vote on these important issues is likely to be deferred yet again. While we would prefer to see passage of Senator?s Paul?s amendment or full debate on the reforms in S. 193, if there must be another extension of the PATRIOT Act without reform, it should run to 2013, rather than the proposed 2015 sunset. http://www.districtdispatch.org/2011/05/ala-arl-express-support-for-paul-amendment-to-the-patriot-sunsets-extension-act/ -- Diedre Conkling Lincoln County Library District P.O.

We?ll break into discussions to explore our own experiences and interpretations of OCLC?s data, and reconvene to compare notes about what this means for library technology, services, and outreach in the Pacific Northwest. Together we?ll consider: what?s tomorrow?s information consumer thinking about, today? How and where does she seek information? What does he think of the library? What advice do users have for us? Does the Pacific Northwest conform to national trends? Background: OCLC?s recent market research report, Perceptions of Libraries 2010: Context and Community, explores the changing technological and economic environments of the past eight years, and how users in different life-stages perceive and use the library. If perception is reality ? or more accurately, if perception predicts tomorrow?s reality, then we need hard data about user perceptions to guide our service development, marketing and more.

Sittler, eds) gathers seventeen case-studies using unique instructional methodologies framed by sound pedagogical theory. As the mission of academic libraries has moved away from maintaining collections toward educating users in research methodologies, a need for new approaches to teaching are required. Many librarians come from disciplines other than education and therefore need to upgrade their skills in the area of instruction. This practical casebook is of great advantage to librarians who have had little formal training in education. Cases included cover the broad spectrum of education from behavioral to cognitive to constructivist. Each chapter is grounded in the educational and library literature and explores the potential of using pedagogical approaches which closely match instructional aims. [book3.jpg]Flynn, Outi.

Using Qualitative Methods in Action Research: How Librarians Can Get to the Why of Data. Chicago: ACRL, 2011 025.5877 Using. ISBN 978-0-8389-8576-2. While quantitative research provides librarians with calculations and metrics of effectiveness, qualitative research, in its exploration of assumptions, value, and opinion, makes possible a deeper understanding of the subtleties of user interaction with library services and collections. This volume explains the basic tenets of qualitative research in an easily understandable fashion, and details action research projects that academic librarians can undertake with their patrons. Part 1 provides a theoretical and practical overview of the process of qualitative and action research. Part 2 includes reports of a number of research projects on fairly common problems found in libraries. The final section of the book includes examples of qualitative research and assessment focused on such topics of the day as information literacy.

As most of you know, Oregon libraries partnered with Healthy Start, a program of the Oregon Commission on Children and Families, the past three years on the early literacy project Reading for Healthy Families. Our partners at the Oregon Commission on Children and Families have launched a survey intended for ALL Oregon parents with children under 10 years old and expecting parents. The Oregon Commission on Children and Families has asked me to forward the following email and attached information about this parent survey to Oregon libraries because 1) they want to give you a heads-up in case parents come to your library to take the survey and ask questions about it, and 2) they want all the help they can get spreading the word to Oregon families about this survey If you or anyone else has questions about this survey, please contact Wendy Morgan at 503-860-6836 or wendy.morgan at state.or.us Let me know if you can't open the attachments and I can email them to you directly.

Please help us spread the word about an online survey to all Oregon parents of children under 10 and expecting parents. We would like to hear from ALL parents of young children in Oregon.

The information from the survey will be made available for use by state and local communities for future funding opportunities and program development. This Parent Survey has a very short time line. Please forward to your networks ASAP so we are able to learn more about your local community. May 11, 2011 through June 6, 2011. The online survey can be found at: https://survey.emp.state.or.us/surveys/7J868P/ How can you help? 1. Forward this email to your networks of professionals, expecting parents, and parents of young children 2. Print the attached post card and get it in the hands of expecting parents and parents of young children 3. Use social marketing by pasting the following in your Facebook or Twitter Status: "Do you have children under 10 or are you pregnant in Oregon? We want to hear from you! You have a unique opportunity to inform the state about service needs and gaps in your community. Please take the time to complete the 10-15 minute online survey at "ttps://survey.emp.state.or.us/surveys/7J868P/. Please re-post and help spread the word." 4.

The measure passed by a vote of 74-8, which ended the debate on the bill to allow for a final vote before three provisions sunset on Friday, May 27. These three sections include business records (aka ?library records?), roving wire taps, and lone wolf. Some senators have introduced amendments before the final vote. The ALA has endorsed an amendment introduced by Sen. Rand Paul (KY) . However, it is uncertain at this point whether amendments will be considered. The ALA urges advocates to contact their senators and ask them to oppose S.1038, if unamended.

If your representative is on the Education and Workforce Committee, please call him/her today at (202) 224-3121 and urge them to remove the repeal of Improving Literacy Through School Libraries from H.R. 1891. Please explain to them that Improving Literacy Through School Libraries serves to update many school libraries in disadvantaged school districts where access to up-to-date materials is very much needed. H.R. 1891?s bill summary it calls for the ?repeal of ineffective or unnecessary education programs.? Improving Literacy Through School Libraries has twice been evaluated by the U.S. Department of Education (most recently in January 2009), which found the program to be successful in both evaluations.

Message-ID: I?m reaching out to others in the hopes you might have some suggestions. Like many of you, we enjoy hosting book discussions for our patrons. However, tracking usage has been cumbersome. There are calendars in which we can schedule the various titles, but we can?t export that information to use for statistical purposes for weeding, for example. We?ve been using an excel spreadsheet for statistical purposes, but it makes the scheduling side of things cumbersome. Do any of you know of a platform where both the calendar and the statistical data are integrated somehow? Do you have recommendations on how to track book discussions more easily? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

The 50 indicators presented in The Condition of Education 2011 provide a progress report on education in America and include findings on the demographics of American schools, U.S. resources for schooling, and outcomes associated with education. Report findings include: * In 2007-08, about three-quarters of the 2003-04 freshman class graduated with a regular diploma from public high schools. * From 2000 to 2009, undergraduate enrollment in postsecondary institutions increased from 13 million students to 18 million. During this period, undergraduate enrollment in private for-profit institutions quadrupled - from 0.4 million students in 2000 to 1.6 million in 2009. * Between 1975 and 2010, the percentages of White, Black and Hispanic 25- to 29-year-olds who had a bachelor's degree increased. Yet, during this period, the gap in bachelor's degree attainment between Blacks and Whites increased from 13 to 19 percentage points, and the gap between Whites and Hispanics increased from 15 to 25 percentage points.
