(From the State Librarian) Contacts at the State Library Library Board News Mary Beth Pearl-Gent (1944 - 2011) State Library Board member Mary Beth Pearl-Gent passed away on August 6th after a long illness. Beth made an important contribution to improving both school and public libraries in Oregon. Before her retirement she was a teacher-librarian in several Oregon school districts. After her retirement she was a consultant, working to improve school library services in Central Oregon. In 1999 she was elected to the Deschutes Public Library District Board, the governing Board of the Deschutes Public Library. She served several terms as Chair of the Board and was still serving on the Board at the time of her death. In 2006 Governor Kulongoski appointed Pearl-Gent to a four-year term on the Oregon State Library Board of Trustees, and in 2010 he reappointed her to that post. Beth was proud of her role in strengthening the partnership between the Deschutes Public Library and schools in Deschutes County through the innovative Library Linx project. Also during her tenure, the library completed new facilities in La Pine, Sisters and East Bend. Beth was most proud of her contributions to the new Sisters Library, which serves her home community. Contributions may be made in Beth's name to the Friends of the Sisters Library. Governor Kitzhaber Appoints Susan Hathaway-Marxer to State Library Board On August 19th, Governor Kitzhaber announced the appointment of Susan Hathaway-Marxer of Portland to the State Library Board of Trustees. She will fill the seat vacated by Cliff Trow after his retirement from the Board in July. Hathaway-Marxer has long been a library leader in Portland. She served on the Multnomah County Library Board from 1995-2003 and was Chair of the Board in her final year of service. She also served on the Board of the Friends of the Multnomah County Library from 1988 to 1993 including one year as Chair. From 2006 to 2008 she was a member of the State Library's Library Services and Technology Act Advisory Council. She currently serves on the Board of Literary Arts, Inc. Hathaway-Marxer is retired after a long career with the Port of Portland and the City of Portland. From 1991 to 2003 she was Property Manager for the City of Portland Parks and Recreation Bureau. "We are grateful to the Governor for appointing such a well-qualified citizen to serve on the State Library Board," commented State Librarian Jim Scheppke. "Susan has a great depth of knowledge of public library funding and governance issues through her work with the Multnomah County Library and is well-versed in our LSTA Grant Program through her work on the LSTA Advisory Council." Recruitment Process Continues for the Next Oregon State Librarian [Librarian]The State Library Board of Trustees continues to work through the plan for selecting the new Oregon State Librarian. Executive Recruitment Specialist Twyla Lawson with the Department of Administrative Services is leading the recruitment. The job announcement remained open for approximately two months in search of candidates with passion, foresight, and a drive to be the chief administrative officer of the State Library. After the announcement closed on August 15th, the applications were processed. The Screening Panel members, who will assist the Board in the selection process, held their initial meeting on August 26th to prepare materials for the upcoming interviews in mid-September. In late October, as part of the final interview process, Lawson will facilitate Stakeholder Forums for the final candidates to meet with internal and external customers. The stakeholders will have an opportunity to provide feedback regarding the candidates for the Board to consider in the final selection process. The final steps will include an Executive Session of the Board and a Public Session, after which the Board will make the final selection of the next Oregon State Librarian on October 21st.

Return to top of page P.S. (From the State Librarian) [Jim Scheppke]I started writing this column soon after I became Oregon State Librarian in 1991. I haven't counted them all up, but they must total well over 200 by now. I'm never at a loss for something to write about. Remarkable things about Oregon libraries come across my desk every day. I have often sung the praises of the Multnomah County Library in this space. Not because they are, by far, the largest public library in Oregon, and I need to stay in their good graces, but because they are an outstanding public library, arguably the best in the U.S. Here is the latest evidence of that from the 2011 Public Library Data Service Statistical Report compiled and published by the Public Library Association. If you look at Section IV you will find that only one library in the U.S. checked out more items than Multnomah County Library in 2009-10. That would be the New York Public Library. They checked out 24.1 million items. That's about 1.4 million more than MCL's 22.7 million check-outs. King County Library in Washington came in third with 22.4 million check-outs. But MCL's 2nd place finish in the library circulation race is, of course, remarkable for the fact that the New York Public Library serves 3.3 million people with 89 locations. King County Library serves 1.3 million people with 46 locations and six bookmobiles. MCL serves only about 725,000 people from 18 locations (they have since added one) and yet their circulation comes up only 1.4 million short of NYPL's. How amazing is that? In fairness it should be noted that the Cuyahoga County Public Library, serving suburban Cleveland, Ohio, circulated 20.4 million items from their 28 branches. And since they serve only 568,000 people, they took the circulation per capita crown away from MCL with 35.9 vs. MCL's 31.4, good for second place in the large library division. But still, Cuyahoga has many more branches and probably a more affluent and well-educated population, since they don't serve Cleveland (it has its own public library). As the table in Section IV of the Report shows, renewals have a lot to do with off-the-charts circulation. I think it's interesting that PLA now collects data on renewals. A liberal renewal policy, and making it easy for patrons to renew, as MCL does, can sure give a boost to circulation. About 52% of MCL's circulation is renewals. About 43% of Cuyahoga's circulation is renewals. Only 22% of New York Public Library's circulation is renewals. To my way of thinking a liberal renewal policy, and making it easy to renew, is just good customer service. To make it work you need to have an ample collection development budget that adds more high-demand books to the collection instead of making slow readers like me return their books before they are read. There are few things in this world more irritating to me than being forced to either return a library book that I haven't finished or pay a fine. What a terrible choice, and a terrible user experience. But if you are one of the fortunate ones to live in Multnomah County you probably don't have to make this choice very often. Which has something to do with why the percentages of "yes" votes in the last three five-year levy elections in Multnomah County have looked like this: 53%, 58%, 62%. - 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.

The programs of the Government Printing Office (GPO) are integral in keeping the American people informed. Unfortunately, funding for the GPO is under attack. The GPO is the only agency with the mission of ensuring that the American public has access to Congressional, Judicial and Executive branch information in all formats ? physical and digital. An unintended consequence of severe cuts to GPO?s budget may be the demise of its access programs. Please contact your Congressional representatives and ask them to fund the GPO at the President?s Fiscal Year 2012 recommendation.

Key federal library programs including those within the Government Printing Office (GPO), the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP) and the Federal Digital System (FDsys) are gravely threatened as Congress and the White House slash appropriations on all kinds of federal programs. It may be unfortunate to use the ?war? theme but if our advocacy strategiesare not focused and successful, the American public stands to lose important library and information services. ALA asks advocates from across the spectrum of library users and supporters to ?re-educate? members of Congressabout the important role that the FDLP plays in over 1000 libraries as well as online through FDsys. There are many new members of Congress who may not be familiar with the FDLP and these related programs. As part of the effort to fight major cuts threatening the FDLP, FDsys and the GPO, the Government Information Subcommittee (GIS) of ALA?s Committee on Legislation (COL) prepared the information provided in the action alert . This alert includes an overview and key points about the importance of public access to government information. ALA asks library advocates to utilize the Legislative Action Centerto contact your respective senators and Congressional representatives about the importance of transparency and access to government information as an inherent element of a democratic society. If you are not already familiar with how these federal information services are used in your community, please check with your local library director or depository librarian to find out more. Please utilize the information provided in the alert and local examples of how these resources are being used to express the importance of these programs. This initiative cannot be a one-time effort, but will hopefully lead to an ongoing relationship between library supporters and their respective congressional offices on FDLP/FDsys as well as other federal-level library programs. Advocates are encouraged to stay in touch with the ALA Office of Government Relations (OGR) and to share any feedback or questions with ALA staffers, as ongoing relationships with Hill offices develop. On these GPO-related issues, please contact: Jessica McGilvray (jmcgilvray at alawash.org). *Note:* The battle to save FDsys and FDLP is one of the important battles ? and one of the early battles because of the schedule for Congressional appropriations. But there are other battles pending such as funding for the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) and school libraries, to name just two. Stay tuned for other advocacy alerts. ALA thanks all library advocates for their ongoing efforts to save library funding and programs ? at the federal, state and local level. We will stay in touch and offer support and information as these battles proceed. It is only through strong grassroots advocacy that library services can prevail in this ?war.? http://www.districtdispatch.org/2011/09/battle-front-federal-depository-library-program/ -- *Diedre Conkling** Lincoln County Library District P.O.

Building a Business, with Pat Wagner (LE at D) Self-employment is as much a lifestyle choice as it is a financial decision. Are you a perfectionist, or can you set limits on how much you do? Does negotiating about money make you uncomfortable, or can you ask for what you want? Do you hope for a job where people will pay you and leave you alone, or do you actually like human beings? We will review the basics, including identifying necessary skill sets, managing finances, setting deadlines, finding and keeping customers, and avoiding common mistakes.

Everyone is invited to the 2nd Annual Oregon Archives Crawl on Saturday, October 15th. Start at any of the four host locations (Portland Archives and Records Center, the Portland State University Millar Library, Multnomah County Central Library or the Oregon Historical Society) and get ready to dive head first into history. Each host site will share space with other local archives and heritage organizations, many returning and a few new ones. Some of this year's participating organizations include Oregon Health and Sciences University, the Genealogical Forum of Oregon Library, Oregon Nikkei Legacy Center, the Multnomah County Records Program and the Dill Pickle Club. With over 30 organizations as part of the Archives Crawl, there is something for everyone! Crawlers can tour some of the facilities and get a glimpse of where all these treasures are stored, see how Portland has changed over the years through photos and maps, and touch artifacts ranging from police dockets dating back to the late 1800s to medical artifacts from OHSU (maybe even a skull). Join in on fun family activities that connect you to our rich history and learn how and where to do your own research. Remember: you don't have to be a history scholar to be interested in history, or to do research! All of the participating archives are open to anyone with an interest in history. As you crawl from site to site, make sure you get your free "passport" stamped at each location. A fully stamped passport gets you into a drawing for items donated by participating archives. The drawing takes place at the After Party at McMenamins' Mission Theater. The After Party is just that, a party where we can all kick back, listen to music, reflect on the day's events and chat with the archivists and other people who like history. The After Party is free to everyone, but be sure to bring your money if you want to partake of McMenamins' food and beer. Soft drinks will be available for free until they run out. Second Annual Oregon Archives Crawl Saturday, October 15 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM Free and Open to the Public Starting at any of the following locations: Portland Archives & Records Center, Portland State University Millar Library, Multnomah County Central Library or the Oregon Historical Society. The After Party at the McMenamins Mission Theater & Pub Saturday, October 15 3:30 PM to 6:00 PM Open to the Public/No Host Bar Enjoy fun, music, and prizes!

I'm happy to announce that our next meeting is taking place at CH2M Hill next Wednesday, September 14 at noon. We are being hosted by Kati Arzeta, the wonderful librarian there. For those of you who have not attended our get-togethers, we each bring our own lunch, and get to enjoy seeing a different library each month. Mostly, it's an excellent opportunity to meet with fellow librarians to discuss how we're doing, and what we're working on. So, come one, come all! We'll have our lunch, chat, and let Kati tell us about her world at CH2M Hill. (Feel free to reply to me to RSVP-as it's nice to get an idea of how people to expect). Below is a note from Kati about how to find her: Here are the directions: CH2M HILL 2020 SW 4th Ave - 3rd Floor We are all the way at the south end of 4th Avenue in the PSU area (right next door to the engineering building). If you take the Green or Yellow Line Max, get off at the last stop (PSU Urban Center) and walk 3 blocks south to College Street then head down to Fourth. You can also take the #8 or #12 bus - get off at 5th and Hall and then walk one block south to College and down to 4th. We do have a parking garage in the basement (enter on Lincoln Street) but it is not free. When you arrive, please go to the 3rd floor and check in with the receptionist. Then head down to the 2nd floor and you will see the library door. I will have water, coffee and hopefully some sort of yummy dessert. There is a group of lunch carts across the street from us on 4th Ave and a Taco del Mar next door if you are interested in purchasing lunch. If anyone has questions, please feel free to give me a call - 503.872.4465 See you Wednesday, Kati Elsa Loftis, M.L.I.S.

Once again the ACLU of Oregon is preparing to send "I Read Banned Books" buttons to libraries of all types that participate in the Celebrate the Freedom to Read in Oregon, co-sponsored by the OASL Intellectual Freedom Committee, OLA Intellectual Freedom Committee, Oregon Intellectual Freedom Clearinghouse and the ACLU of Oregon. I am the coordinator of this project. If you have not participated before it is easy to do so as long as you plan to do something in your library (anything - even a small exhibit) either during BBW or sometime in the year as we know that library schedules sometimes make it impossible to do it during the official week. All you have to do is to send me an email (see below). We plan to start mailing the buttons early next week. If you are looking for ideas on what to do check out the Oregon Intellectual Freedom Clearinghouse http://www.oregon.gov/OSL/LD/intellectual.shtml#Banned_Books_Week_Planning_R esources where you will find ideas collected mostly from Oregon libraries of all types who have participated in this project as well as information on materials that have been challenged in Oregon schools and libraries. Also ALA is hosting a free webinar featuring ideas for BBW on Tuesday, September 13 at 10 am PST. You can find information here: http://www.ala.org/ala/aboutala/offices/oif/oifprograms/webinars/index.cfm. Since I know most of you are busy working at that time I am going to attend and will be happy to share the ideas discussed. So - let me know if you want to be part of Celebrate the Freedom to Read in Oregon.

Call for Submissions for OSU's Career Preparation and Software Engineering Capstone Project In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hi, all. Just passing along an item of possible interest from an Oregon State University professor. It is interesting to see the library and information science submissions that have been made: http://eecs.oregonstate.edu/capstone/listproposals2011.php Hope Leman, MLIS Research Information Technologist Center for Health Research and Quality Samaritan Health Services 815 NW 9th Street Corvallis, OR 97330 (541) 768-5712 hleman at samhealth.org http://www.researchraven.com/ http://www.scangrants.com/ Here is the announcement Colleagues -- It's only 2 weeks until classes start! If you're interested in getting a CS Capstone project proposal in, now's the time. Our CS Capstone class is a 3-quarter (Fall, Winter, Spring) "career preparation" experience. The major element of this is doing a significant 2-4 member team project. When the students come to the first class on September 27, I want to present them with a list of exciting, creative, and real-experience software engineering project possibilities. This is where you come in. I am looking for people to propose possible projects. A web site has been setup to give you more information, and let you enter and edit project proposals: http://cs.oregonstate.edu/capstone/proposeproject2011.html You have until September 26 to get yours in. That is the day before the students will see them, which will start the selection process. In that process, I ask the students to "bid" on their top 5 choices. I ultimately make the final project assignments, but I try to take their preferences into account. I find I get better results that way. After projects have been selected, we follow a client-contractor model in which I "run" the software contract company and you are one of our valued clients. The students "report" to me, but you, as client, work directly with them to design the requirements, set the timeline, and guide the progress. Each quarter, you also assign 20% of their grade points. Any project can be proposed from anybody. It doesn't matter where you are from, just that your project represents an excellent software engineering educational experience for the students. Do remember, however, that these are seniors. They have taken the core classes so far, but most have not taken the electives that would really help in some projects, such as graphics, AI, etc. They can learn, but it takes a little time. Keep that in mind when proposing. If you have questions or want to discuss project possibilities, feel free to contact me at: Mike Bailey Professor, Computer Science Oregon State University 2117 Kelley Engineering Center 541-737-2542 mjb at cs.oregonstate.edu Thanks for your time -- I look forward to working with you! -- Mike Bailey Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.

The full SDAO report has not yet been posted but it will be posted soon at http://www.sdao.com/legislative.htm. *HB 2256 ? Election Law Changes* *Effective Date: January 1, 2012 Chapter: 607 (2011 Laws)* HB 2256 is a miscellaneous housekeeping election law bill. The bill authorizes election law complaints to be filed electronically; extends the signature-gathering period to two years for a petition to initiate district measures and requires it to be filed not less than ninety days before the election at which the proposed law is to be voted on; and allows county clerks to (in addition to currently mandated newspaper publishing) advertise election notices on county websites; and other miscellaneous changes. *HB 2425 ? Local Budget Law Rewrite* *Effective Date: January 1, 2012 Chapter: 473 (2011 Laws)* During the 2010 interim SDAO participated with other local governments, the Department of Revenue and the Oregon Newspaper publishers? Association in a workgroup to examine ways to streamline and increase transparency with respect to local budget law. HB 2425 is a product of that work group. The bill makes significant modifications to local budget law for cities, counties, school districts and special districts. HB 2425 makes the following changes to state statute: ? Changes the existing requirement to publish financial summaries of individual funds to a requirement for publication of summaries of fund types; ? Requires the publication of a budget narrative that describes prominent changes from year to year; ? Standardizes what must be included in the notice and budget summary; ? Allows one of the two required publications for the notice to be placed on a web site as opposed to a newspaper; ? Modifies the requirement of how personal service costs be included in the budget document; and ? Requires, upon request, a municipal corporation to make available a list of employee salaries other than hourly or part-time employees. ? The Department of Revenue will conduct a series of trainings on these budget changes prior to the Spring of 2012. ? *HB3207 ? Requirement to Interview Veterans by Public Employers* *Effective Date: January 1, 2012 Chapter: 484 (2011 Laws)* This measure requires public employers to interview veterans if the interviews are part of a selection process and the employer determines the veteran meets minimum and special qualifications for the position and if the employer determines the veteran has transferable skills. The bill defines ?transferable skill? as a skill that a veteran has obtained through military education or experience that substantially relates, directly or indirectly, to the civil service position for which the veteran is applying. The bill allows a public employer to consult with the Oregon Military Development and Oregon Department of Veterans? Affairs to determine if military education or experience qualifies as transferable skill. The bill also defines ?eligibility list? as a list of ranked eleigible candidates for a civil service position who have become eligible for the postion through a test or series of tests and who will consider for the civil service position in ranked order. The bill also exempts a public employer from requirements if the employer only conducts interviews of candidates chosen from the eligibility list. Finally, the bill creates a statutory employment discrimination claim for violation of certain provisions of the bill. [SDAO will be doing training on this measure and how to work with it in our organizations. It is obvious that it could significantly increase the number of people who must be interviewed for some positions and could open us up to law suits.] *HB 3482 ? Unpaid Leave for Victims of Harassment* *Effective Date: August 2, 2011 Chapter: 687 (2011 Laws)* [I am missing the page with an explanation of this but you can look it up. ;-) ] *SB 480 ? Grants for Afterschool Meal and Snack Program* *Effective Date: August 2, 2011 Chapter: 711 (2011 Laws)* [I just thought some libraries might be doing afterschool programs where they could use this grant.] SB 480 appropriates $180,000 General Fund to the Department of Education for administration and grants to school districts, government agencies and community groups to enable participation in the U.S. Department of Agriculture?s Afterschool Meal and Snack Program. The Afterschool Meal and Snack Program provides reimbursement to qualifying afterschool enrichment programs that serve free meals or snacks to children. Grants may not exceed $10,000 each and are limited to $150,000 while administration is limited to $30,000. Requires Department of Education (ODE) to provide assistance to school districts, government agencies and community groups to encourage participation in the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Afterschool Meal and Snack Program. Authorizes ODE to contract with public or private entity for purposes of providing technical assistance and administration of the grant program. Allows ODE to contract with public or private entities regarding the grant program. *HB 2244 ? Definition of a Public Record* *Effective Date: August 2, 2011 Chapter: 645 (2011 Laws)* Current law defines a public record as any ?writing? that contains information relating to the conduct of the public?s business. HB 2244 updates the statute to reflect that records in other forms are common with today?s technology (like Twitter and Facebook). The modified requirements for public records within HB 2244 apply only to state agencies and local governments; the legislative and judicial brances are unaffected. The bill requires state agencies to submit written policies for public records retention to the State Archivist for approval so that the Secretary of State can ensure appropriate statewide standards are being followed to protect the records of the state. The bill also amends the definition of ?public record? in ORS 192.005 to include information that meets the following criteria: prepared, owned, used or retained by a state agency or political subdivision; relates to an activity, transaction or function of a state agency or political subdivision; and is necessary to satisfy the fiscal, legal, administrative or historical policies, requirements or needs of the state agency or political subdivision. The bill requires public agencies to maintain a public record without regard to the technology or medium used to create or communicate a record. [At the meeting we talked about taking screen shots of Facebook, Twitter and Blog entries as a way to save them. Maybe you have some better ideas that you can share.] -- *Diedre Conkling** Lincoln County Library District P.O.

Educational Solutions, a Klamath Falls OR nonprofit, has made two documentaries showing how Oregon scientists and their students, combining cutting-edge genetics and ecology, are working to save salmon. These colorful videos demonstrate science in action - what it takes to solve problems of declining salmon populations in the Pacific North West. The documentaries were part of a spring 2011 six-high school project "Learning Genetics to Save Salmon." Student comments are below. The project was funded by the Gordon Elwood and Cow Creek Umpqua Indian Foundations and the videos will be shown on PBS this coming year. Klamath Union High School Student: "I am more interested in science because it showed that we can help change the world for the better." Background: The Klamath River Basin of Oregon and California became famous for conflict. Farmers and ranchers compete with Native Americans, commercial salmon fishermen, and conservationists over scarce water: "farms vs. fish." Since the 2002 salmon die-off of some 70,000 spawning salmon in the lower Klamath River and the 2006 closure of ocean salmon fishing due to weak Klamath salmon runs, two research projects based at the Hatfield Marine Science Center and Oregon State University have made important progress in saving salmon. But, as the videos demonstrate, there is work to be done. Hoopa Valley High School Student: "Science provides answers whereas arguing with emotions does not." "Sustaining Salmon: Fishermen, Scientists and Project CROOS" The Project CROOS team of scientists and fishermen, passionate about their cause, has the goal of sustaining both salmon and the salmon fishing industry. They cooperate to use genetics and ocean variables to protect ocean salmon populations of low numbers and provide fishermen access to abundant stocks. The systems under development have relevance to world fisheries. Bandon High School Student: (I liked) the DNA (process) . . . that happens in all living organisms, including me." "Saving Salmon: Bringing C. shasta Back into Balance" C. shasta is a lethal salmon parasite that infects some 80% of out-migrating juvenile salmon in the Klamath River. OSU Associate Professor Jerri Bartholomew and her engaging graduate students have made surprising discoveries about this parasite. They are combining advanced genetics with river ecology and hydrology studies with the goal of increasing salmon numbers. Their work with the warm Klamath River may have relevance to other Oregon Rivers as the climate warms. Henley High (Klamath Falls) School Student: "I didn't know the parasite is one of the main salmon problems. After hearing about salmon for years, I never knew." By return email, please state how many copies of each video you wish. Please include your full contact information: Name Library (If K-12, please indicate level) Institution Address Phone number Email Videos will be distributed in October 2011. High school science teachers will be able to access the curriculum, "Learning Genetics to Save Salmon," that accompanies the two videos, on the Educational Solutions Website (www.educationalsolutions.org) Kelly V.

The committee, often referred to as the deficit-reduction ?supercommittee,? was formed after the passage of the Budget Control Act of 2011 and tasked with reducing the federal budget deficits by a total of at least $1.5 trillion over 10 years. ALA asked the committee to maintain funding for the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA), which was reauthorized last December. LSTA is a population-based grant to states that is administered through the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and serves as the primary source of federal support for our nation?s libraries. ?We wanted to make it clear to the supercommittee that pulling funding from America?s libraries would have widespread repercussions that would undermine our nation?s economic recovery,? Emily Sheketoff, director of the ALA Washington Office said. ?While we understand the need to reign in federal spending, the ALA asserts cutting support for libraries will set back countless Americans who are turning to their libraries for education and assistance with job searching and digital literacy training.? The ALA?s letter pointed to an Institute of Museum and Library Services study released last year, which stated that over 69 percent of U.S. residents age 14 or older have visited a public library at least once in the past 12 months. According to the study, library visits are highest among the working poor (earning 100-200 percent of federal poverty guidelines) and those with incomes more than 300 percent of the poverty guidelines. The study also stated that patrons reported using library resources and services to address a range of basic needs, including workforce development activities: - 30 million people used library computers and internet access for employment or career purposes; - Among the employment users, 76 percent used a library?s computers or Internet connection specifically for their search for job opportunities; - 68 percent of the users who searched for a job submitted an application online; and - 46 percent of the employment users used library computers to work on their resumes. The Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction plans to release its package in late November. -- *Diedre Conkling** Lincoln County Library District P.O.

HathiTrust et al., against HathiTrust and its research library partners. *LCA Statement on Authors Guild, Inc. et al. v. HathiTrust et al.* * * We are deeply disappointed by the Authors Guild?s decision to file a lawsuit, Authors Guild, Inc. et al. v. HathiTrust et al., against HathiTrust and its research library partners. The case has no merit, and completely disregards the rights of libraries and their users under the law, especially fair use. The HathiTrust and its partners have assembled an unprecedented digital resource that will ensure secure, long-term preservation of nearly 10 million volumes held in member library collections. The majority of these works are not available commercially and will disappear completely if not for library stewardship. We applaud the modest steps HathiTrust and its partners have taken to foster those ?orphan? works whose owners have abandoned them to library care. The HathiTrust adds significant value to library collections in support of teaching, research, and learning, while respecting the law. It is deplorable that eight authors and three special interest groups are trying to dismantle this invaluable resource out of a misplaced fear of the digital future. We are confident the court will not look kindly on this shortsighted and ill-conceived lawsuit. Authors Guild President Scott Turow wrote earlier this year, ?I count myself as one of millions of Americans whose life simply would not be the same without the libraries that supported my learning.? 1 It is a shame that the Authors Guild fails to understand what Mr. Turow expressed so well, the vital role that libraries play in our cultural ecosystem. *1 http://www.huffingtonpost.com/scott-turow/letthemeatcakeattitude-th_b_823609.html * http://www.districtdispatch.org/2011/09/library-copyright-alliance-speaks-out-against-authors-guild%e2%80%99s-decision-to-file-a-lawsuit-against-hathitrust-and-partners/ -- *Diedre Conkling** Lincoln County Library District P.O.

A great opportunity to enrich your Oregon history and Diversity collections! Book information: Title: Perseverance Subtitle: A History of African Americans in Oregon's Marion and Polk Counties Author: Oregon Northwest Black Pioneers Published by the Oregon Northwest Black Pioneers: www.oregonnorthwestblackpioneers.org Binding: trade paper Page count: 280 pages Dimensions: 6" x 9" Extensively illustrated ISBN 978-1-4507-4878-0 $25.00 Available through Ingram and Baker & Taylor. "Oregon history is the richer for Perseverance." Since the beginning, even before the wagon trains, African Americans have played an essential part in building Oregon. In Marion and Polk counties, they overcame the obstacles of wilderness, prejudice, and isolation, helping to create a vibrant community. They have often been left out of the paintings and statues, but Perseverance brings you many of their names and describes the ways they have made history, taking their rightful place among pioneers past and present in the Willamette Valley. Oregon history is the richer for Perseverance. Thanks to the Oregon Northwest Black Pioneers for documenting the history and character of Oregon's African Americans. We can now fully embrace the African American community's hardships and triumphs and rejoice in their innumerable contributions to our state. This book shines a spotlight on some important Oregonians you've probably never heard of, and fi lls large gaps in our state's history. -Mary Oberst, First Lady of Oregon, 2003-11 This work is a signifcant contribution to the study of the Black experience in Oregon history because it stretches the traditional boundaries of consideration, touching as it does on material beyond the urban Portland experience and having a female focus. It will be of interest to both the academic specialist in Oregon history and to a general reading audience. -Dr. Darrell Millner, Professor, Black Studies Department, Portland State University This carefully researched document brings the story of Oregon's African Americans to life. Perseverance is a must read for those who love history and, even more, tales of the people who made Oregon. -Victor Atiyeh, Governor of Oregon, 1979-87 This book fi lls a big gap in the history of African Americans in Oregon. I encourage history lovers to read it and learn more about an important aspect of Northwest history. -George L. Vogt, retired Executive Director, Oregon Historical Society Perseverance offers an extremely insightful picture of Oregon history, providing a glimpse into the true diversity of Oregon society by giving voice to those who have previously been ignored. -Dr. Peter MacMillan Booth, Willamett e Heritage Center at The Mill Arlene Weible Librarian Oregon State Library 250 Winter St NE Salem OR, 97301 503-378-5020 arlene.weible at state.or.us -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Markup of bill appropriating Government Printing Office funds set for today To: "Diedre Conkling" [District Dispatch] Call your senators now! 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 senators and express the importance of continued and expanded funding for the Government Printing Office.

This Senate version of the jobs bill includes $30 billion for K-12 education to retain or rehire educators including school librarians to prevent the layoffs of up to 280,000 educators including many school librarians. Since school librarians across the country are losing their jobs due to budget cuts, it is critically important that as much of this money as possible be used to save their jobs. The ALA asks all members to call their two senators and congressional representative at *202-224-3121* and urge them to support the AJA. Tell your elected officials about what school libraries do in your community and how obtaining funds for construction through the AJA could improve the education of our students. The AJA also includes an additional $25 billion to maintain and upgrade K-12 schools including school libraries to meet their 21st century demands and $5 billion for community colleges including their libraries. Please call your elected officials in Congress today! A chart outlining the estimated jobs impact by state can be viewed here.

This First Look, Postsecondary Institutions and Price of Attendance in the United States: 2010-11, Degrees and Other Awards Conferred: 2009-10, and 12-Month Enrollment: 2009-10, presents findings from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) fall 2010 data collection. The data collection, which included three survey components: institutional characteristics for 2010-11 such as degrees offered, type of program, application information, and tuition and other costs; the number and type of degrees conferred from July 2009 through June 2010; and 12-month enrollment data for the 2009-10 academic year. Other findings include: * Among 4-year institutions, nonprofit institutions reported the highest average price of attendance during 2010-11 for students living on campus (approximately $35,700), roughly $800 higher than the average for for-profit institutions (about $34,900). Public institutions reported an average price of attendance of approximately $19,500 for in-state students living on campus and $28,900 for out-of-state students living on campus. * Institutions reported conferring about 4.3 million postsecondary awards (degrees or certificates). About 886,000 were less-than-2-year certificates, 900,000 were associate's degrees or at-least-2-but-less-than-4-year certificates, 1.7 million were bachelor's degrees, and 902,000 were post-baccalaureate awards. * Institutions reported a 12-month unduplicated headcount enrollment totaling about 28.9 million individual students. Of these, roughly 25.1 million were undergraduates and approximately 3.8 million were graduate students. To view the full report please visit http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=2011250.

E-metrics for Library and Information Professionals: How to Use Data for Managing and Evaluating Electronic Resource Collections. New York: Neal-Schuman, 2006. 025.284 White isbn 1-55570-514-6 Designed to introduce readers to e-metrics ("the measurements of the use and activity of networked information"), this book is made up of 10 chapters that are divided among three major sections. Part 1 supplies a definition of e-metrics, explores their use in libraries, and discusses vendor-supplied electronic data reports. Part 2 explains why libraries need e-metrics, focusing on how they can be used for public relations, collection management, and library administration. Part 3 offers ways that libraries can build local e-metrics. Chapters cover the capturing and processing of statistics, infrastructure and technical requirements, and staffing needs. With its coherent structure, well-articulated language, and illustrative material (tables, figures, and examples), this book has much to recommend it. The authors are successful in elucidating a subject that may seem daunting and abstract to the uninitiated. Overall, an important resource for all librarians and information professionals. [book2.jpg]Brophy, Peter. Measuring Library Performance: Principles and Techniques. London: Facet, 2006. 025.58 Broph isbn 978-1-85604-593-3 Measuring library performance requires multiple perspectives and various methods of evaluation. Brophy's innovative approach ensures that user's opinions, economic factors, and staff input are all taken into account. He demonstrates how both traditional and electronic services can be evaluated and helps professionals learn to gather data; quantify outputs; evaluate systems; and utilize benchmark, standards, and balanced scorecard methods of evaluation. There is also advice for leveraging findings for staff training and development. With a start-to-finish approach, this manual will help you evaluate and improve your library effectively.

It is nearly the same as the one day in-person training we had in Tigard and Pendleton earlier this year. We had scheduled in-person sessions for three other locations but due to low registration we cancelled those. My guess is that sending a staff member to an all day training was difficult for most of your libraries so we have arranged to present the training in three sessions o- line beginning at the end of September. Our in-person trainings were most ably accomplished by Kathy Smith and Charles Dunham from the Tigard Library. For the on-line sessions we have invited Linda Bruno, an experienced online and Project Compass trainer, to be our trainer. Please think about members of your staff (or yourself) who might benefit from this training. Library staff are often first responders to our community members' needs for job-seeking assistance, ranging from unemployment services to filling out online applications to starting a small business. Yet during these tough times, increased demand often outstrips our ability to deliver effective resources and services. Join us for three online Project Compass sessions, where you will gain real-world success stories and build a foundation of skills to help you create and build programs and services for workforce recovery. Together we will discuss best practices for programs and services for job seekers and local business development, building partnerships with your local workforce agency, and providing financial literacy and technology training. The three sessions will be held on Thursdays: September 29th, October 13th and October 20th. Each session will be 1.5 hours, from 1:00 pm to 2:30 pm. You must register to attend these online sessions, information on connecting to the webinars will be sent out to registrants the week before the first session. Participants will also receive a workbook in the mail prior to the first session.

When I look at the syllabus for that course, I have a good laugh. Sad to say, we could do things in 1995 that would be difficult to pull off today. Yes, we were using ftp and a beta version of Netscape, but we were regularly videoconferencing with people around the world. Today, I would have to get special permission from our district to conduct those same video-conferences. The reality is that ?brute force? filtering of Internet content has resulted in us regressing rather than progressing. School leaders are unintentionally killing the motivation of our teachers and students to make the most use of technology in our schools, not by our actions, but by our inaction on the issue of web filtering. Teachers repeatedly complain to me that their students cannot do research at school because so many web sites are blocked. Students are resigned to the fact that doing research on a school computer is next to impossible. So, they just wait until they go home. Scotomas To put it bluntly, many of our colleagues have developed scotomas or blind spots in relation to certain practices in their schools, and content filtering is one of the most prevalent examples. Instead of asking why, they simply shrug their shoulders respond with a deer-in-the-headlights look. I have asked a number of my fellow school leaders about policies and practices in their school and school system relating to content filtering. Most have no idea what is going on in their school regarding filtering or the frustration experienced by their teachers and students. Flat World No, the world isn?t flat, but when it comes to content filtering in schools it might as well be. Most school leaders react to my questions relating to filtering in much the same way that Europeans must have reacted when Christopher Columbus challenged the prevailing wisdom of the day by proposing that the world was not flat but was round. School leaders generally accept the status quo related to content filtering with a ?that?s the way it is? response. A Good Day In IT Land In fact, many school leaders are allowing IT folks to do what we used to joke a few isolated librarians would do?keep the kids out and the books in. That is certainly not the case in today?s school libraries. In fact, the American Association of School Librarians (AASL) is leading the way calling for more access and less restrictive filtering practices by declaring September 28, 2011 as Banned Websites Awareness Day. The IT folks should follow the librarians lead on this issue. Keep in mind that, for some, a good day in IT Land is when no one is on the network, and, thus, there are no problems. From my experience, IT folk are among the usual, but certainly not the only, suspects who are practitioners of ABC management practices?Administration By Convenience. Over-Compliance In an April interview, which is a must-read for all school staff and parents, Karen Cator of the U.S. Department of Education takes on what she calls ?brute force technologies.? According to Cator, many schools are simply over-complying with federal guidelines. What you must know about content filtering In the interview, ?Cator parsed the rules of the Childrens Internet Protection Act, and provided guidance for teachers on how to proceed when it comes to interpreting the rules. To that end, here are six surprising rules that educators, administrators, parents and students might not know about website filtering in schools.? 1.Accessing YouTube is not violating CIPA rules. 2. Websites don?t have to be blocked for teachers. 3. Broad filters are not helpful. 4. Schools will not lose E-rate funding by unblocking appropriate sites. 5. Kids need to be taught how to be responsible digital citizens. 6. Teachers should be trusted. The Solution If you, as a school leader, don?t advocate for your teachers and students, who will? Content filtering is an important part of any school-wide technology effort. I should know. In my former high school, every one of our 3,200 students had a laptop. Yes, we blocked inappropriate sites. On occasion, our IT staff blocked appropriate sites, but we had a simple remedy. If a teacher came across a site that she wanted unblocked, she simply emailed me the name of the site and the URL. I forwarded a request to our IT people and, within minutes the problem was solved. The key here is that, as the principal, I got involved and assumed responsibility. IT people are simply doing what they think is best. If they never hear from us, they have no idea that a problem exists. It is true that some IT people practice the ABCs (Administration-By-Convenience). However, I have found most IT people to be particularly helpful, especially when the school leader is willing to take the time to show interest and to get directly involved. Don?t wait another day! Meet with your IT staff and discuss content filtering. Work out a plan to address teacher issues and advocate for improved student achievement through the effective use of technology. ?

Attached to this message is the proclamation that the Governor and the Secretary of State have signed. This proclamation will be presented to Zhiming Zheng, Director of the Fujian Provincial Library, on September 26th by Rosalind Wang and Frances Lau, both members of the OLA International Relations Roundtable (IRRT) and long-time supporters of our sister library activities with Fujian. The occasion on the 26th will be a celebration of the centennial of the Fujian Provincial Library and the opening of a new children's library in Fuzhou, the capital of Fujian Province. I am pleased that the Governor was willing to recognize the 22 years that we have been building a strong relationship between Oregon libraries and libraries in our sister province in China. Over that period of time over 30 library staff from Oregon and Fujian have made official visits to share professional knowledge, most recently in August, when a delegation of six library directors from Fujian visited Oregon. It is my hope that we will continue to build our ties with libraries in Fujian. I am pleased that the University of Oregon Libraries is negotiating a sister library relationship with the Xiamen University Libraries. I would love to see other individual Oregon libraries establish a sister library relationship with a comparable library in Fujian. There are several of us on the IRRT with good connections in Fujian who would be happy to try to facilitate that if you are interested. In 2013 we will undertake the next round of the Horner Library Staff Exchange project that will bring four librarians from Fujian to Oregon and three Oregon librarians (IRRT members) to Fujian, each for a three week visit. The IRRT will be managing this project once again with funding from the Oregon State Library. I encourage you to join the IRRT to find out more about this opportunity. I hope you will have a cup of Fujian oolong tea on Monday and think fond thoughts about our good colleagues across the Pacific.

This funding bill, which is scheduled to be marked up in the full Senate Appropriations Committee Wednesday afternoon, contains federal support for school libraries. The report language of this bill sets aside $30 million for national non-profit organizations or school libraries in high-need areas. Furthermore, at least 50 percent of this $30 million must be used for school libraries. This restoration of funding for school libraries comes as a huge victory since the Improving Literacy Through School Libraries program was zero-funded in FY 2011; however, the fight is still not over. School libraries fared better than many other programs, but the next stage of the legislative process will prove critical in securing this funding for FY2012. Please continue to put pressure on your senators and representatives to support school libraries. More information will be made available after Wednesday?s mark-up. *On the LSTA front?* This bill also level funds (or funds at last year?s level) the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) at $189 million ? another victory for libraries during this time when many in Congress are looking to make budget cuts.

Please take a look at the brief survey I have linked below and submit your responses by Tuesday, September 27th. This survey welcomes multiple responders from each library. We know that different people within your libraries are responsible for different parts of the summer reading program and we are interested in hearing from anyone who was involved in planning. So far we've gotten some great feedback from your libraries. Especially helpful are very specific requests, like "Please include more program ideas for small libraries in the program planning manual," rather than simply "More program ideas." Thank you for your time. Your responses have a BIG impact on Oregon's contribution to the national collaborative. You can find the survey here: http://library.state.or.us/services/surveys/survey.php?sid=965 -Lisa All Oregon public, volunteer, and tribal libraries are members of the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP), and receive a free summer reading manual.

The bill also level-funds the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) at $189 million. The Senate bill sets aside $30 million for national non-profit organizations and school libraries in high-need areas and directs that at least 50 percent of this funding be used for school libraries. ?Last year, funding for the Improving Literacy Through School Libraries program was wiped from this bill, which left school libraries without any specific federal funding, and the President?s budget request also zeroed out the program,? Emily Sheketoff, executive director of the American Library Association (ALA) Washington Office, said. ?It seems the Senate Appropriations Committee has recognized what a mistake this was, and we thank them for including new funding in the bill that will directly benefit students depending on their school libraries. Yet, we understand that there is a long road ahead and urge House appropriators to safeguard this funding for our nation?s students when they mark up their version of the bill.? Sheketoff said protecting LSTA funding at its current level in this ?slash and burn? Congress is one of the most important federal issues for public libraries. ?This is a very uncertain time for the future of many, many federal programs,? Sheketoff said. ?We knew there was a strong chance the Senate appropriators could choose to further reduce LSTA funding ? or even cut it all together. While we take it as a positive sign that LSTA cleared the first hurdle, we know the race is not over yet. In these tough economic times, the public has been using their public libraries more than ever, depending on the library?s computers, Internet access and employment skills training. LSTA allows libraries to continue offering these important services.?

Older editions have value in their volume 17, which is where the Oregon Constitution is. I usually just rip it out of the volume and save it for patrons who are thrilled to have it, even if it's not completely up to date. I also save those OR Constitutions to give to Classroom Law Project students (future lawyers :-) 3) Oregon Revised Statutes Annotated (ORSA) (preferably updated since 2006, but I have found worthy and grateful recipients for earlier editions - this Thomson-West set came out in 2003 - there is an earlier Lexis-Butterworths "ORSA" edition that came out much earlier - those are treasured too by a few attorneys.) 4) Oregon Digest 2d (let us know the date of latest pocket part (this is a paper supplement that fits into a pocket at the back of each volume - issued annually, though individual volumes are also updated out of that cycle)) 5) U.S. Reports (official, GPO) 6) There are some legal monographs that might be worth rescuing, too. I have either grateful recipients (usually legal service nonprofits, or new, solo practice lawyers who live on the edge while doing a lot of volunteer, pro bono, consumer, and low-cost legal service work) or I can use them in our scanning projects (at least until the money runs out - but even then, we'll at least have complete sets for those who will be scanning these materials in the future). If you're not sure if the weeded item will be of any value to anyone, please don't hesitate contacting your county's law library manager or me - or both. We all talk to one another on our listserve and in fact, offer these sets to each other before offering them out to the nonprofit or legal education community. The OCCLL website has a list of county law libraries: http://occll.org/ My Law Library's website has a guide on How to Dispose of Used Law Books: http://www.co.washington.or.us/LawLibrary/Information/index.cfm (We also have some public librarian resources: http://www.co.washington.or.us/LawLibrary/TrainingAdvocacy/public-librar ian-resources.cfm) Thank you - and to those librarians who have already contacted me!
