(From the State Librarian) Contacts at the State Library Library Board News State Library Board Appoints Robert Hulshof-Schmidt as State Librarian [Robert Hulshof-Schmidt]The Oregon State Library Board of Trustees selected Robert Hulshof-Schmidt to serve as Oregon's next State Librarian. Hulshof-Schmidt holds a Master's Degree in Library Science from the University of Washington and Bachelor of Arts in English from Willamette University. He succeeds Jim Scheppke, who is retiring December 31st after twenty-five years of service with the State Library, twenty as the Oregon State Librarian. The Board searched for applicants who possessed passion, foresight, and the drive to be the next chief administrative officer of the State Library. The recruitment pool began with 12 applicants who met the qualifications of the position. Five candidates were invited to first round interviews held by telephone with a seven member screening panel. Three candidates were selected to move onto the final stage of the interview process. That consisted of a recorded facilitated public presentation, an internal facilitated forum with State Library staff, a tour of the State Library, a meeting with Jim Scheppke, a meeting with the the State's Chief Operations Officer, Michael Jordan, and an Executive Session meeting with the Board. All stakeholders were encouraged to take an online survey to give input on each candidate. The surveys were then compiled for the Board's review. The following afternoon, the Board of Trustees held an open public session to hear comments regarding the employment of the State Librarian. Then they entered into a closed executive session where no decisions were made. Afterwards the Board announced the reopening of another public session. The Board then voted to make an employment offer to Robert Hulshof-Schmidt. Hulshof-Schmidt is currently the Government Research Services program manager at the State Library and will begin his new role as State Librarian on January 1, 2012. The Board expressed their gratitude to Twyla Lawson, Executive Recruiter for the Oregon Department of Administrative Services for leading this important recruitment process. The Board also expressed gratitude to the screening panel, staff, and stakeholders for their contributions to the recruitment process. State Library Board Awards LSTA Grants At their meeting on October 21st, the State Library Board accepted the recommendation of the LSTA Advisory Council to award 13 LSTA competitive grants totaling $676,797. Included in the awards are grants to the University of Oregon Libraries to add content from The Oregonian to the Historic Oregon Newspapers website and a grant to the Multnomah County Library to design a new homework help resource for students using the latest digital technology. The Board also approved the overall LSTA budget for next year including funding for statewide projects like Statewide Database Licensing, L-net, the Oregon School Library Information System (OSLIS) and the Plinkit content management system. In other business the Board approved a plan requested by the Legislative Fiscal Office to make reductions to the Library's 2011-13 budget, if state revenue is not adequate to fund the budget adopted by the Legislature last spring. All state agencies are being asked to submit plans to cut up to 10.5% of their General Fund budgets in three increments. The Library is also being asked to submit a plan to cut the Government Research Services budget up to 10.5%. The plan adopted by the Board would cut the Ready to Read Grant Program by up to $202,174 in the second year of the biennium (December, 2012), and cut Government Research Service by up to $630,387, with the loss of six staff positions. The plan will be submitted to the Legislative Fiscal Office in November and may be considered when the Legislature convenes again in February, 2012.

Return to top of page Other Library News The State Library's Sister Library Builds Largest Children's Library in China [Fujian Children's Library]On September 26th, the State Library's sister library in Fujian dedicated the largest children's library in China. The Fujian Children's Library in Fuzhou totals 194,000 square feet and holds a collection of one million books. The library design was inspired by the 2008 Summer Olympics stadium in Beijing popularly known as The Bird's Nest. The library features a parenting room, a toy room, quiet study rooms, rooms for visually and hearing impaired children, a classroom, an auditorium and research and study areas for parents, teachers and social workers. In addition to providing books and other library collections for children, the new library has areas for children to paint, make crafts, learn calligraphy and play computer games. The library will serve an area with a population exceeding seven million. Oregon librarians Frances Lau and Rosalind Wang were on hand for the dedication and the celebration of the centennial of the Fujian Provincial Library, which included a proclamation from Governor Kitzhaber declaring "Oregon and Fujian Library Friendship Day." Oregon Digital Newspaper Project Receives ACRL-Oregon Award For Excellence The Oregon chapter of the Association of College and Research Libraries annually awards the ACRL-Oregon Award for Excellence to recognize a significant contribution to Oregon libraries and in particular, academic libraries. The Oregon Digital Newspaper Project was nominated and selected as this year's award winner in recognition of the project's mission to "digitize historic Oregon newspaper content and make it freely available to the public through a keyword-searchable database" and the positive impact this keyword- search accessibility will have for Oregon academic libraries and for the general public of Oregon as well. The project has been the recipient of several LSTA competitive grants, with the newest starting next spring to help digitize The Oregonian from 1906-1922. Return to top of page P.S. (From the State Librarian) [Jim Scheppke]As Oregon State Librarian for the past 20 years I have given out a lot of advice, both solicited and unsolicited. Some of this advice was pretty good and some was undoubtedly wrongheaded. If I had to estimate what percentage of my advice was actually taken and implemented, it would probably be somewhere in the lower quartile. Such is the nature of advice, even from state librarians. I'm sure when I am retired in a few months I will still have a yearning to give out advice, especially to librarians. It will take a while to get it out of my system. So I take this opportunity to dish out some last minute advice, if for no other reason than to get this advice out of my system, and to hopefully leave some of you with something to ponder. Advice to the Sage Library System: actively pursue the notion of breaking out of Eastern Oregon to serve any county in the state; I think there are libraries that are interested, and some folks at our generous Oregon foundations who would be willing to help. Advice to the Orbis Cascade Alliance: most definitely pursue one integrated library system for your entire membership and please include all of the non-Alliance libraries that have longstanding resource-sharing relationships with your members. Advice to all public library directors who need a new facility: run, don't walk, to see the new main library in downtown Vancouver, Washington, which is state-of-the-art from top to bottom, and take all your "electeds" with you. Advice to children's librarians: do much more to tout what you do as essential to having 100% of 12th graders in Oregon become proficient readers and meet the new graduation requirement. Advice to new MLIS graduates: Don't despair about the job market; the huge cohort of baby boomer librarians will exit the scene eventually and the opportunities for you will be great. Advice to the Oregon Digital Library Consortium: Break your dependency on one content supplier; diversify your suppliers and use each member library's integrated library system as the means of discovery and delivery. Advice to school librarians: Create a new service model that does not rely on a teacher librarian in every school, but a smaller number of teacher librarians that work with every school and are led by a strong district librarian. Advice to L-net: Bring in some marketing expertise to rebrand and target specific information niche markets like health information, legal information, homework help, etc. I'm sure I could fill up several more pages with advice, but I will stop here. Of course I think it is excellent advice, equal in quality to the book recommendations I will be making next month. - Jim Scheppke Return to top of page Contacts Oregon State Library Library Development: 503-378-2525, MaryKay Dahlgreen, Ferol Weyand, Darci Hanning, Ann Reed, Jennifer Maurer, Katie Anderson.

We need lots of letters to go to the USPS to support this request. If you or someone you know would like to help, please read the following letter from the Chair of the Friends of William Stafford Board of Directors. The request letter from the Friends is attached to give you some inspiration (it?s a great letter!). You can send your letter endorsing this request to: Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee c/o Stamp Development U.S. Postal Service 475 L?Enfant Plaza SW, Room 3300 Washington, D.C. 20260-3501 I hope you will read on... Jim Scheppke, State Librarian Oregon State Library ******** Dear Friend, Recently, in my capacity as Board Chair of Friends of William Stafford, I submitted a request to the U.S. Postal Service asking them to approve a commemorative stamp honoring William Stafford during the year of his 100th birthday (2014). Although this may seem like an easy decision for the U.S. Postal Service to honor one of America's greatest poets, the odds are quite high that my request may not be considered. Especially if no other voices are heard in support of the proposal. So, I am asking for your help. A 15-member Citizen's Stamp Advisory Committee meets four times a year for two days at a time to review each written request. In most years, this committee considers between 25 and 40 thousand requests. Out of such a vast field of submittals, only 20 are chosen for production and distribution. Even so, William Stafford does meet most of the extensive eligibility criteria: he is dead, he is not a town or a hospital or a commercial product or a fraternal organization or even a natural disaster. Really, I am not making this criteria up! The fact that 2014 is the centennial of Mr. Stafford's birth may give my request a slight advantage against the very long odds. But, most certainly, my singular request will need as much public support as possible if it is to gain advantage in such a large field of submissions. That is why I am writing to you. After reviewing the attached PDF copy of my letter to the U.S. Postal Service, it would help if you could take a few moments to write a letter of your own to this committee. The more organizations and individuals of influence that speak up on behalf of a William Stafford commemorative stamp, the better the odds for success. I have asked for support from opinion leaders and friends throughout Oregon and across the United States to help in this effort. Although 2014 seems like a long way off, time is of the essence. In reality, it can take every bit of three years for the committee to respond. In addition to your own letter, I encourage you to pass this email on to friends and family who you believe would also be willing to write a letter. Every expression of support will help. And every bit of help will be greatly appreciated by the Friends of William Stafford. Thanks for your help, Dennis Schmidling Friends of William Stafford, Board Chair -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The Building Digitally Inclusive Communities framework was developed through consultation with more than 100 organizations and individuals, who shared their expert knowledge about different communities' lessons learned and best practices. It describes a vision for digital inclusion and eleven principles. It also makes recommendations about how to get started to develop a implement a community action plan for digital inclusion. In September and October, community and leadership forums were held in Los Angeles, Oklahoma City, and Bangor to solicit feedback on the proposed framework. This survey seeks feedback from a broader audience. Survey respondents will be asked about their opinion about the value of the framework to support community collaboration (individuals, businesses, community organization and government), the usefulness of the principles identified in the guide and the effectiveness of report in raising awareness about digital inclusion. The results of the survey will be used to finalize the framework and also will be summarized in a report on digital inclusion and published on the IMLS web site. Access the survey at http://imls-framework.surveyanalytics.com. Learn more about Digitally Inclusive Communities at http://www.imls.gov/about/digitally_inclusive_communities.aspx.

URL: From hleman at samhealth.org Thu Nov 3 19:43:22 2011 From: hleman at samhealth.org (Hope Leman) Date: Thu, 3 Nov 2011 19:43:22 -0700 Subject: [Libs-Or] Summary of responses to request for help with Google weirdness In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hi, all. Here (finally--sorry for the delay) is the summary of responses on the weirdness in Google with the disappearance of the advanced features search link on the Google homepage. (But some people said they can still see it.) I just want to thank everybody for all the help. I asked two lists for help?the Oregon Library Association discussion list and MEDLIB, the discussion list of the Medical Library Association. Did I get help quickly?the responses were fast and furious. Whoa?did they flood in and where they helpful or what? When I went to work at the office (as opposed to encountering the problem at home on three different computers in Firefox) my work setup (IE7) had the same advanced features link just as it always has. At least one of the other respondents to my query reported that, ?At my desk the FF page lacks the link, but the IE page has it, to the right of the search box.? So it seems to be a browser thing, mainly. But don?t quote me! Here are the comments I got?just a note that many of resemble one another in referring me to the gear box in Google; giving the link to the advanced page itself; and saying do a search and then look for the advanced features link at the bottom of the results. But I included them all so as to establish that those were the most common responses. I located Advanced Search using the "About Google" link at the bottom of the Google search page. Under "Our Products", click "Web Search Features". The Advanced Search link is at in the left panel of the Search Features screen -- well hidden! You'll also find that they've just recently eliminated their + feature that allowed you to prioritize words in your search... someone gave them the idea that people don't actually know what they're searching for. Also, if you haven't heard, Google doesn't let you use the + sign anymore to require words. That was a handy feature. Putting single words in quotes seems to still work. It's a silly place for them to put it, but you can access the advanced search page by clicking on the little gear icon in the top-right of the page. In Google Scholar, Scholar Preferences has moved there as well, which had me stymied for a few minutes in the first instruction session I taught since the change. Sounds crazy, but I did the logical thing. I searched for Google Advanced Search and got this link http://www.google.im/advanced_search?hl=en I hope that helps :) Up in the right hand corner there is a little spoked wheel. When you hover over it, a cloud should appear that says, "Options," and when you click it, "Advanced Search" is one of the options. If you do a search, you will also see limiters appear on the left side of the results. If my display is the same as yours, it looks like they've moved the link for advanced search to the bottom of the page under the page numbers for the results. Also, if you haven't heard, Google doesn't let you use the + sign anymore to require words. That was a handy feature. Putting single words in quotes seems to still work. Also, at the bottom of the results screen after you do a search, there is an advanced search option. In the top right corner there is a little circle and if you put your cursor over it it will say options, click on it and then advanced search. It used to be on the front page! But, if you do a search on something, anything, and then scroll to the bottom of the results page you will see "Advanced Search" under the page number bar. Check under the gear at the upper right! After you perform your search, at the very bottom under the search results there is a link to the advanced search. I am also very frustrated with this new arrangement. Good luck! What browser were you using? I show the Advanced search link to the right of the search box (above language tools). I'm looking at it in IE 7 right now (that's what we have at work), but at home I have the latest Firefox and I can check there. But in the meantime, to help you with your issue now, the link to the advanced search page is: http://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en Hope that helps! Run a search, any search...... Then look at the bottom of the results page for a link to "advanced search". Try clicking GOOGLE MORE on the top header. The drop down gives some options. At the bottom is an EVEN MORE option. Click on that. It should be in there. I recommend using Scholar instead. There is an advanced search option on the main Scholar page. I found it by googling ?google advanced search? You might want to bookmark or favorite or whatever the address: http://www.google.im/advanced_search?hl=en ?my guess is that Google wants to keep it as simple-looking as possible. I was also going to suggest that you can refine your search (in the left-hand frame) once you've already done your basic search. Those options allow you to narrow it down in different ways. In my opinion?Google is making it easier for basic users to perform searches, and harder for sophisticated users. And what happens is that the results are not quite as good as they were, say, a couple of years ago. I'm keeping my eye on you, Google! We discovered this "improvement" right before an instruction session a couple of weeks ago (rendering our handouts & online tutorials obsolete, of course!). There are two ways to access Advanced Search: 1. Click on the little settings option in the upper right corner of the Google screen (it looks like a little wheel). You'll see Advanced Search in the drop-down menu. 2. Or, conduct a keyword search. On the results screen, you will see an option to do an Advanced Search. I hope this helps! Yikes. I just checked it out, and I'm getting the same bare-bones search page as well. I haven't heard anything about this, so I'm hoping they are just tweaking it. Direct link - http://www.google.com/advanced_search Or use the homepage - enter any term. It will pull up the search results, and at the bottom of the page is the link for advanced search. On the far upper right of Google's homepage is a "gear" type symbol that is actually a drop-down menu; there you will find Advanced Search. I had the exact same problem =It turned out to be some sort of security feature in my hospital IT settings. My IT guy had to go in, get it for me and put a link on my task bar. (goofy- but it works.) Under the icon that looks like a spoke in the upper right corner Google has put the Advanced Search. I hope this helps. Top right hand corner - it's the little wheel. They moved Advanced Search and Search Settings under there. http://www.google.ca/advanced_search I googled "google advanced search". They may have removed the feature to "encourage" people to move to Google Chrome. ?click on the gear icon in the upper right corner. http://www.google.com/advanced_search You can get to it by clicking the little gear (options) on the far right side of the black bar that appears at the top of the Google page. Freaked me out too.....do a search - then scroll to the bottom of the results - you will see it there. I just loaded Google and I see the link for the advanced search right where it always is--to the right of the search box. It opened when I clicked on the link. In order to find the "Advanced Search Tools", I had to first type in my search and then go down to the bottom of the first results page, where there was a link. I searched for google advanced search: http://www.google.ca/advanced_search I don't see it anywhere either and it looks slightly different than I remember. Try http://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en Look under the Gear in the right corner http://www.google.ca/advanced_search Does this work for you?

Earlier this year Jim announced his plans to retire from public service at the end of 2011. This created a new challenge ? how to honor Jim for the incredible service he has provided to Oregonians? Jim didn?t want a traditional retirement party. ?Too many greenhouse gas emissions, not to mention unwanted calories,? he said. So instead we are having a Virtual Retirement Party ? carbon neutral and heart healthy! To celebrate, Jim wants all his colleagues and associates to post a good wish, photo or a memory to his blog. You can even ask Jim a question. Jim will reply to every post! http://jimscheppkeretires.blogspot.com On his blog page you will find a slideshow of his years at the State Library, his farewell speech to OLA, career highlights, and more. In lieu of gifts or flowers Jim hopes you will consider a donation in his honor to his favorite charity, our own Talking Book and Braille Services. It will mean a lot to Jim for you to send him a post. Enjoy the Jim Scheppke Virtual Retirement Party! ---Oregon State Library Staff Jessica Rondema Administrative Services Coordinator Oregon State Library 250 Winter St. NE Salem OR 97301 503-378-2464 jessica.rondema at state.or.us -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Markup of bill appropriating Government Printing Office funds set for today The Senate Committee on Appropriations will hold a markup of the Legislative Branch Appropriations bill that includes the funding for the Government Printing Office at 2 p.m. today. As we have discussed in previous blog posts, it is important that in this difficult financial time people make their wishes known on how the government should allocate the spending tax dollars. The Government Printing Office (GPO) is an invaluable resource in ensuring that the public has access to government information. Appropriations for the GPO fund the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP), and it is important that we ask for an additional $7 million to be specified for further development of the Federal Digital System (FDsys). FDsys is the gateway to greater access and preservation for government documents, allowing the public to locate documents from any computer with an Internet connection. Please take a moment today to contact your senator and express the importance of continued and expanded funding for the Government Printing Office.

Res. 6.* You may reach your Senators by calling the Capitol Switchboard at *202-224-3121. * Your call sends a loud and clear message that libraries depend on an open and nondiscriminatory Internet to provide our patrons, the public, unfettered access to information. Additional talking points: ? Voting no helps preserve the openness of the Internet which is essential to our nation?s educational achievement, freedom of speech and economic growth. ? Without an open and neutral Internet, there is great risk that commercial Internet Service Providers (ISPs) will give higher priority to some users (e.g. give entertainment priority over education). ? ISPs may seek to impose additional fees on Internet users which could drastically impact libraries who require much greater bandwidth than households to serve their patrons, many at one time. This anti-net neutrality resolution, if passed, would strike at the heart of libraries? ability to ensure patrons have open, unfettered access to all types of information.

Today, after months of anticipation, the Senate voted on S.J. Res. 6 ? an *anti*-net neutrality bill to overturn the Net Neutrality decision adopted by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The final, partisan vote? 46 yeas and 52 nays ? *defeated* the bill! The defeat of the bill sends a clear message that libraries and those they serve (the public) not only care strongly about this issue but also depend upon a free and open internet to provide unfettered access to all types of information. The bill?s demise now ensures that the FCC order will take effect on November 20. Thank you to all who reached out and contacted their senators on this very important bill. In addition, thank you to those state librarians and state library association members who provided targeted letters to their senators in key states urging them to defeat the bill. The calls and letters were invaluable in influencing the outcome of this vote! This outcome ? the defeat of S.J. Res. 6 ? is a big win for libraries and those we serve!

Ensuring that all children, especially those from disadvantaged communities, can learn to love reading which helps them attain a 21stcentury education to prepare for college and career. In their letter to the Senate Chairmen and Ranking Members, they stated: Literacy remains at the core of academic achievement for all children, and is a strong indicator for long-term success and opportunity. Exposure to books is an essential part of early childhood literacy and preparation for school. yet, two-thirds of America?s children living in poverty have no books at home, and the number of families living in poverty is on the rise. Additionally, *we know that access to effective school library programs, staffed by trained school librarians, has a positive impact on student achievement, and offers students a way to develop and hone skills, including how to find and use information, that are critical for meeting college and career-ready standards.* By providing funding for book distribution, early literacy services, and effective school library programs, the Senate Appropriations Committee made an important statement about the importance of ensuring that disadvantaged students have access to these critical tools for success in school and in life. We are grateful for your leadership in this area and urge you to ensure that this critical funding is included in the bill that is sent to the President. The full text of their letter is available here(pdf). We thank these senators for this important step and encourage library advocates of all stripes to do the same. Please contact Senators Jack Reed , Chuck Grassley, Debbie Stabenow , Roger Wickerand Olympia Snowe and let them know you appreciate their support for libraries. http://www.districtdispatch.org/2011/11/we-know-that-access-to-effective-school-library-programs-staffed-by-trained-school-librarians-has-a-positive-impact-on-student-achievement-five-senators-show-their-support/ -- *Diedre Conkling** Lincoln County Library District P.O.

Today, after months of anticipation, the Senate voted on S.J. Res. 6 - an anti-net neutrality bill to overturn the Net Neutrality decision adopted by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The final, partisan vote - 46 yeas and 52 nays - defeated the bill! The defeat of the bill sends a clear message that libraries and those they serve (the public) not only care strongly about this issue but also depend upon a free and open internet to provide unfettered access to all types of information. The bill's demise now ensures that the FCC order will take effect on November 20. Thank you to all who reached out and contacted their senators on this very important bill. In addition, thank you to those state librarians and state library association members who provided targeted letters to their senators in key states urging them to defeat the bill. The calls and letters were invaluable in influencing the outcome of this vote! This outcome - the defeat of S.J. Res. 6 - is a big win for libraries and those we serve!

In response to recent questions/comments: MLIS degree programs can be very short (36 credits) or somewhat longer (48 credits). The San Jose program is 43 credits, which faculty and employers believe is appropriate for a graduate professional degree with the complexity of LIS. A shorter program is obviously shorter. The San Jose accelerated program is accelerated for our longer and, we believe, more appropriate length. The Executive program was cancelled for 2011 and each applicant informed months in advance, with an option of entering the regular program. If someone was missed inadvertently, we do apologize. The program is being completely revised with an employers' advisory council for a new cohort beginning in Fall 2012. In spite of its somewhat longer program and greater breadth, San Jose offers excellent value for money when comparing fees for a program in its entirety. I welcome any individual questions or inquiries.

Title: A Brief Survey of the History of American Higher Education: Periods and Personalities, Progress and Protest Description: This session will be an informal (and quick!) overview of American higher education, from the founding of Harvard in 1636 through the present. We?ll take a look at key periods in the development of higher ed, as well as some influential personalities that shaped our country?s colleges and universities. As we?ll see, progress was often accompanied by protest -- and students were not the only ones who engaged in the latter. From classical curriculum to campus corporatization, there has always been much to discuss and debate, whether in the nine colonial colleges or across the 4,000-plus institutions that currently comprise American higher education. Some surprising stories and statistics will be shared, as will references for further exploration of the topic. Time will be provided toward the end of the session for questions and informal discussion. The presentation will take place on Friday, December 9, from 10:00-11:30, in the Willamette Industries Seminar Rooms on the third floor of the Valley Library (VL 3622). The OSU Libraries Faculty Seminar Series is free and open to all. Refreshments will be served.

These benefits reduced recipients' average college expenses for the academic year by about $700. In addition to providing estimates on education tax benefits for all 2007-08 undergraduates, this Statistics in Brief investigates the ways in which receipt of these benefits, and these benefits' effect on the price of college attendance, varies by family income. Since student-level data on tax benefits are not available from other sources, Internal Revenue Service rules for 2007 education tax benefits were applied to a nationally representative sample of 2007-08 undergraduate and graduate students to determine the potential distributions and amounts of the tax benefits. Key findings include: * At 29 percent, low income dependent undergraduates received education tax benefits at a lower rate than their low-middle, high-middle, and high income counterparts. The most common reason these low income students did not receive a tax benefit was that they had no net tuition after subtracting the grant aid and veterans benefits they received. * Among dependent undergraduates who received education tax benefits, low income students received a smaller amount in tax benefits ($600) than did low-middle, high-middle, and high income students ($900, $1,000, and $700, respectively). Unlike other income groups, low income tax benefit recipients received more in federal grant aid and veterans benefits than they did in tax benefits.

In response to recent questions/comments: MLIS degree programs can be very short (36 credits) or somewhat longer (48 credits). The San Jose program is 43 credits, which faculty and employers believe is appropriate for a graduate professional degree with the complexity of LIS. A shorter program is obviously shorter. The San Jose accelerated program is accelerated for our longer and, we believe, more appropriate length. The Executive program was cancelled for 2011 and each applicant informed months in advance, with an option of entering the regular program. If someone was missed inadvertently, we do apologize. The program is being completely revised with an employers' advisory council for a new cohort beginning in Fall 2012. In spite of its somewhat longer program and greater breadth, San Jose offers excellent value for money when comparing fees for a program in its entirety. I welcome any individual questions or inquiries.

So-called anti-piracy copyright legislation Posted on November 15, 2011 by Corey W | Ok, more like what?s in an acronym (and what the heck does it mean)? The latest round of legislation thinly cloaked under a veil of copyright was supposedly crafted to squelch online piracy. Here?s what we?ve got ? The PROTECT IP Act or PIPA bill (S. 968) in the U.S. Senate and the recently introduced companion SOPA or E-PARASITE bill (H. 1362 ) in the U. S. House of Representatives. Ok, so you ask, what do these bills actually mean? First introduced in the U.S. Senate in May was S. 968, ?*The Preventing Real Online Threats to Economic Creativity and Theft of Intellectual Property Act of 2011*? or PROTECT IP Act of 2011 or PIPA (not to be confused with the famous sister-in-law across the pond). Senators Leahy (D-VT), Hatch (R-UT) and Grassley (R-IA) introduced the bill intending to crack down on rogue websites dedicated to the sale of infringing counterfeit goods. The library community?s specific concern with this bill is its potential impact on first amendment rights. The ALA joined other organizations and sent a letter(pdf) to Senate leadership stating, as currently drafted ??S. 968 makes nearly every actor on the Internet potentially subject to enforcement orders under the bill, raising new policy questions regarding government interference with online activity and speech.? An even more egregious bill was introduced in the U.S. House by Reps. Smith (R-VA), Conyers (D-MI), Goodlatte (R-VA) and Berman (D-CA) in late October ? H.R. 3261, ?*The Stop Online Piracy Act*? or SOPA, also known as the ?*Enforcing and Protecting American Rights Against sites Intent on Theft and Exploitation*? or E-PARASITE bill (uh, gross). This bill makes the Senate version (S. 968) pale in comparison ? it?s that bad. A myriad of concerns have been raised and strike at privacy, intellectual freedom and cyber security, among others. The ALA, as part of the Library Copyright Alliance (which includes ACRL and ARL) sent a letter(pdf) to the House leadership raising specific copyright-related concerns on behalf of libraries. In the letter we raise two key concerns: 1. The bill would change the scope of ?willful infringement? with the potential to capture what the courts would have previously determined as innocent infringement? raising the stakes of statutory damages sought up to $150,000 per work. 2. In addition, the bill would impose criminal sanctions for public performances including streaming. Public performances would include digital works transmitted to classrooms, including those at a distance, and even those of a non-commercial nature. Ultimately, this bill brings into the realm of possibility the criminal prosecution of a library for streaming or public performances for educational purposes (yikes!). But wait, there?s more! On the heels of being introduced in late October, the SOPA/E-PARASITE bill is slated to be the subject of a House Judiciary Committee hearing on November 16, 2011. In sum, one might deduce that the more troublesome a bill, the more ridiculous names and acronyms are piled on. Corey Williams Associate Director Office of Government Relations P.S. Want to see concerns raised by others? Check out the following letters and responses: - The ALA joins several other public interest groups and sends a letter (pdf) to House Judiciary Committee leadership - Mike Masnick of TechDirt ?When even librarians are against SOPA? and ?Why PROTECT IP/SOPA is the exact wrong approach to dealing with infringement online ? - Brookings ?Cybersecurity in the Balance: Weighing the Risks of the PROTECT IP Act and the Stop Online Piracy Act ? - Letter to U.S. House of Representatives leadership from nine major tech companies opposing SOPA - International & civil and human rights groups send a letter(pdf) to House Judiciary Committee leadership http://networkedblogs.com/q2KRE?a=share&ref=nf -- *Diedre Conkling** Lincoln County Library District P.O.

(OSLIS is an information literacy website, www.oslis.org, and the portal for K12 Oregon students and educators to access the statewide subscription databases.) As you may know, the Technology Development Consultant at the State Library and I created OSLIS Lite because there are problems with the original OSLIS that causes it to randomly lock up or not be accessible. The vendor we recently contracted with made several updates to the original OSLIS and then tested the updates using an artificial load. In other words, they created a situation that replicates OSLIS being accessed by multiple simultaneous users. With that testing, they cannot get OSLIS to fail. That means we need to put the original OSLIS back up to see if the issues have truly been resolved. In order to minimize downtime, the vendor proposed that they put OSLIS Lite on a second server that will automatically become active should the original OSLIS site have problems. The vendor has also configured the system to provide additional logging to gather system information for them to analyze should the original OSLIS site have problems. I understand that the solution is not ideal because potentially you could be teaching one version of OSLIS and then get the other. However, we don?t have a lot of choices. Someone suggested that we keep OSLIS Lite up until summer and then do any repair work and testing. That?s not ideal for at least two reasons. One, what if the original OSLIS is truly fixed? If it is, we want it back up as soon as possible. Two, what if OSLIS isn?t fixed and the work to fix it takes longer than two and a half months? Then we run out of summer and are in the same boat we are in now. So, we have opted to allow the vendor to reactivate the original OSLIS and to direct traffic to OSLIS Lite if the original OSLIS has problems. This is scheduled to happen late in the evening this Friday, November 18th. If you encounter any problems with the original OSLIS (when it?s back up) or OSLIS Lite, please let me know. The more specific you can be, the better. Thanks again for your patience.

When I went to work at the office (as opposed to encountering the problem at home on three different computers in Firefox) my work setup (IE7) had the same advanced features link just as it always has.

But I included them all so as to establish that those were the most common responses. I located Advanced Search using the "About Google" link at the bottom of the Google search page. Under "Our Products", click "Web Search Features". The Advanced Search link is at in the left panel of the Search Features screen -- well hidden! You'll also find that they've just recently eliminated their + feature that allowed you to prioritize words in your search... someone gave them the idea that people don't actually know what they're searching for. Also, if you haven't heard, Google doesn't let you use the + sign anymore to require words. That was a handy feature. Putting single words in quotes seems to still work. It's a silly place for them to put it, but you can access the advanced search page by clicking on the little gear icon in the top-right of the page. In Google Scholar, Scholar Preferences has moved there as well, which had me stymied for a few minutes in the first instruction session I taught since the change. Sounds crazy, but I did the logical thing. I searched for Google Advanced Search and got this link http://www.google.im/advanced_search?hl=en I hope that helps :) Up in the right hand corner there is a little spoked wheel. When you hover over it, a cloud should appear that says, "Options," and when you click it, "Advanced Search" is one of the options. If you do a search, you will also see limiters appear on the left side of the results. If my display is the same as yours, it looks like they've moved the link for advanced search to the bottom of the page under the page numbers for the results. Also, if you haven't heard, Google doesn't let you use the + sign anymore to require words. That was a handy feature. Putting single words in quotes seems to still work. Also, at the bottom of the results screen after you do a search, there is an advanced search option. In the top right corner there is a little circle and if you put your cursor over it it will say options, click on it and then advanced search. It used to be on the front page! But, if you do a search on something, anything, and then scroll to the bottom of the results page you will see "Advanced Search" under the page number bar. Check under the gear at the upper right! After you perform your search, at the very bottom under the search results there is a link to the advanced search. I am also very frustrated with this new arrangement. Good luck! What browser were you using? I show the Advanced search link to the right of the search box (above language tools). I'm looking at it in IE 7 right now (that's what we have at work), but at home I have the latest Firefox and I can check there. But in the meantime, to help you with your issue now, the link to the advanced search page is: http://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en Hope that helps! Run a search, any search...... Then look at the bottom of the results page for a link to "advanced search". Try clicking GOOGLE MORE on the top header. The drop down gives some options. At the bottom is an EVEN MORE option. Click on that. It should be in there. I recommend using Scholar instead. There is an advanced search option on the main Scholar page. I found it by googling 'google advanced search' You might want to bookmark or favorite or whatever the address: http://www.google.im/advanced_search?hl=en ...my guess is that Google wants to keep it as simple-looking as possible. I was also going to suggest that you can refine your search (in the left-hand frame) once you've already done your basic search. Those options allow you to narrow it down in different ways. In my opinion...Google is making it easier for basic users to perform searches, and harder for sophisticated users. And what happens is that the results are not quite as good as they were, say, a couple of years ago. I'm keeping my eye on you, Google! We discovered this "improvement" right before an instruction session a couple of weeks ago (rendering our handouts & online tutorials obsolete, of course!). There are two ways to access Advanced Search: 1. Click on the little settings option in the upper right corner of the Google screen (it looks like a little wheel). You'll see Advanced Search in the drop-down menu. 2. Or, conduct a keyword search. On the results screen, you will see an option to do an Advanced Search. I hope this helps! Yikes. I just checked it out, and I'm getting the same bare-bones search page as well. I haven't heard anything about this, so I'm hoping they are just tweaking it. Direct link - http://www.google.com/advanced_search Or use the homepage - enter any term. It will pull up the search results, and at the bottom of the page is the link for advanced search. On the far upper right of Google's homepage is a "gear" type symbol that is actually a drop-down menu; there you will find Advanced Search. I had the exact same problem =It turned out to be some sort of security feature in my hospital IT settings. My IT guy had to go in, get it for me and put a link on my task bar. (goofy- but it works.) Under the icon that looks like a spoke in the upper right corner Google has put the Advanced Search. I hope this helps. Top right hand corner - it's the little wheel. They moved Advanced Search and Search Settings under there. http://www.google.ca/advanced_search I googled "google advanced search". They may have removed the feature to "encourage" people to move to Google Chrome. ...click on the gear icon in the upper right corner. http://www.google.com/advanced_search You can get to it by clicking the little gear (options) on the far right side of the black bar that appears at the top of the Google page. Freaked me out too.....do a search - then scroll to the bottom of the results - you will see it there. I just loaded Google and I see the link for the advanced search right where it always is--to the right of the search box. It opened when I clicked on the link. In order to find the "Advanced Search Tools", I had to first type in my search and then go down to the bottom of the first results page, where there was a link. I searched for google advanced search: http://www.google.ca/advanced_search I don't see it anywhere either and it looks slightly different than I remember. Try http://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en Look under the Gear in the right corner http://www.google.ca/advanced_search Does this work for you?

As ALA staff, we want people to start posting comments - please! Second: We are guessing that there are many reasons why folks have not started to use this discussion site. For many of us it is a very busy time of year, especially in the academic library community. We have heard from a few people that you are reluctant to post anything publicly about the contentious issues swirling around the FDLP. Some people may not want to make comments about decisions made by the institutions where they work. Whatever the reason, we hope that more of you will feel comfortable beginning this discussion. Within ALA, this is an open and public site but we believe that as professionals who are all committed, even if in different ways, to providing the public no-fee access to government information, we can proceed. We can begin this discussion virtually and continue it at Midwinter Conference in a professional manner, respecting each point-of-view. Third: There are many circumstances that are influencing the future of the FDLP and public access to the materials and resources of the federal government. Even though ALA is the oldest and largest library association in the world, we cannot effectively participate in the various proceedings and opportunities to influence public policy in this arena, unless our members can pursue this discussion and debate within ALA. Fourth: If you have other ideas to ease this discussion and get it started, perhaps through other techniques and venues, please post here. No decisions are being made online; no one will be chastised for their point-of-view; we need the diversity of information and perspectives. Thanks for "listening" and looking to hear from more of you. Lynne Bradley, Director - ALA Office of Government Relations -- *Diedre Conkling** Lincoln County Library District P.O.

For those of you that have done a food for fines, how much fine revenue did you "lose" during the time you did the program? If you could reply with the lost revenue and how long you did the food for fines (1 week, 2 weeks, etc), that would be appreciated. And yes, I know the good it does for the community, but in these times, the loss of revenue to the city can have an impact on book budgets, etc. and the Council rightfully needs to know that.

New York: Neal-Schuman, 2012. 346.730482 Gathe ISBN 978-1555706494 Here are authoritative answers to the critical legal questions that make digital collection development and management so challenging and complex for librarians, educators, technology leaders, information science educators and anyone involved with digitized content. This new work examines the intersection of digital library technology, and digital content, and the law. From an opening discussion of general intellectual property issues to the application of copyright law to digital collections, the Handbook covers all the key topics in the field of intellectual property including several new issues, such as the problems of non-permanence, the complexity of multimedia content, issues surrounding open and closed access, evaluating data providers, proprietary search engines, derivative works, annotations and metadata, privacy, and more. Practitioners will also appreciate the book's practical checklists and compliance tools. [book2.jpg]Taylor, Arlene G. and Daniel N. Joudrey. The Organization of Information, 3rd ed. Westport, CN: Libraries Unlimited, 2009. 025 Taylo ISBN978-1-59158-700-2 This third edition of Taylor's modern classic continues to articulate the theory, principles, standards, and tools behind information organization. As with previous editions, it begins with strong justification for the continued importance of organizing principles and practice. Following a broad overview of the concept and its role in human endeavors, Taylor and Joudrey provide a detailed and insightful discussion of such basic retrieval tools as inventories, bibliographies, catalogs, indexes, finding aids, registers, databases, major bibliographic utilities, and other organizing entities; and subsequently trace the development of the organization of recorded information in Western civilization from 2000 B.C.E. to the present. Standards of codification (MARC, SGML, and various DTDs), controlled vocabularies and ontologies, and Web 2.0 technologies are but a sample of its extensive topical coverage.

There is an overview of fundamental legal information, including the basic structure of the U.S. legal system and primary law, and how-to instructions for finding primary law in print sources, free websites, and pay-for-view databases. The authors share tips for conducting a legal reference interview and describe common legal questions across a number of different areas, including lawsuits, family law, landlord-tenant disputes, wills and estate planning, debt, bankruptcy, employment, and criminal law. The authors also explain how to build a basic legal reference collection, including a how-to guide for creating a basic website of legal links and for building a small, low-cost collection of print resources. Finding the Answers to Legal Questions: A How-To-Do-It Manual is an ideal book for practicing librarians looking to better serve users' legal needs.

But what do they all mean? When associated with a government agency or a non-profit it can be very confusing to know what's allowed - and what will land you in hot water. In this session we'll look at both the letter and the spirit of the law when it comes to lobbying and advocacy, as well as specific criteria you can use to assess your own situation. Since local library supporters, whether staff, friends, trustee or board members, have the most influence in the legislative process, it's important to know just how far you can go in connecting them with policymakers. Believe it or not, you have more latitude than you think. And, of course, as a private citizen no one can curtail your right to speak up and make a difference.

The Portland Downtown Librarians Luncheon will take place on Wednesday, December 7th at noon. As we've done in years past, we'll dine at the Oregon Culinary Institute Restaurant, as kind of a holiday treat! If you'd like to join us at the Culinary Institute, please RSVP to me, so I can give the restaurant an accurate reservation number. If we are a group of 7 or more, we will each cost $12--please bring cash. This includes the meal, non-alcoholic beverages, and gratuity. Please have a look at their menu: http://www.oregonculinaryinstitute.com/pdf/menus/MenuLunchEarlyFall2011.pdf (early fall menu is what's on the website now, possibly an update will be forthcoming?) The Culinary Institute is located at: 1701 SW Jefferson Street in Portland. I hope to see you there! Elsa Elsa Loftis, M.L.I.S.

Message-ID: It's been a couple weeks since I last highlighted some of the OLA SSD Blog posts: Those amazing book sculptures in Scotland prompted me to ask: "What's the most memorable thing ever donated or returned to your library?" (Please comment because I'm really curious about this!) http://ola-ssd.blogspot.com/2011/09/have-you-all-seen-amazing-book.html Grow a handy set of extra hands: http://ola-ssd.blogspot.com/2009/11/book-mending-hands.html Some pretty pictures of Eugene Public Library: http://ola-ssd.blogspot.com/2010/05/seeing-through-visitors-eyes.html Don't forget you can write a guest post for the blog to report on what's up with you -- tell us about the great resources you're using, pose a question for us to ponder, or share a good story! We'd really like to hear from some Eastern and Southern Oregon Library support staff and what's going on around the state. Contact me or leave a comment on the blog if you're interested. Thank you!
