The meeting will begin at 10:30 a.m. in Room 102 of the Oregon State Library. The Board will hear a report on the Every Child Ready to Read three year project that has been completed. The Board will also review the proposed 2013-2015 State Library budget for submission to the Governor by August 31, 2012. The Board Budget Committee met on July 27, 2012 to review the proposed budget. An Open Forum will be held at noon on the day of the Board meeting. Anyone may address the Board at the Open Forum on any topic. Return to top of page State Library News 2012-2013 Ready to Read Applications due August 31 Applications for the 2012-2013 Ready to Read Grant are due August 31, 2012. One hundred and thirty public libraries are eligible to apply for the Ready to Read Grant this year. The list of proposed Ready to Read Grants for 2012-2013 reflects the $609,755 annual budget passed by the Oregon Legislative Assembly and signed by Governor Kitzhaber. The application was mailed to library directors and children's librarians the last week in June. It is also available on the State Library website to download, complete, and mail. Contact Katie Anderson, 503-378-2528, if you need more information or have any questions Reference Services Support the Work of State Agencies [StateSeal]One of the most satisfying jobs of the Government Research Services Team is providing research support to state agency employees. This past June the Audits Division of the Secretary of State's Office released a 90 page report, Boards and Commissions: Common Risks, Needed Oversight, and Steps to Manage Them. If you read through this report you may have noticed a very nice thank you note, on page 25, to staff of the State Library. What started as a simple reference inquiry, "Does the State Library have copies of old Executive Orders?", grew into a multi-month project of researching the years and bill numbers establishing boards/commissions, locating past Legislative Issue Briefs and newspaper articles and finding anecdotal statements from past governors and legislators that were used to highlight particular issues raised in the audit. Many times the research performed by GRS staff later appears in an agency report or newspaper article. Two recent projects that librarians worked on appeared in the news this summer. One entailed research on the legislative history of the law establishing unit pricing in grocery stores, Inconsistent Unit Pricing Complicates Grocery Shopping in Salem (Statesman Journal, July 15, 2012). Another project required a literature search for studies comparing the efficacy of hand washing to glove use in food service in preventing food borne illness. A short time later this article appeared in the news, State Tells Restaurant Workers No Gloves Required (Willamette Week, July 13, 2012). These examples show that the work of state agencies is very broad, touching all aspects of the lives of Oregon citizens. GRS staff members understand the importance of the work they do in supporting the research projects of these decision makers and are very proud to be a contributing partner to the work of state government. Reading for Healthy Families Final Evaluation Report Now Available Reading for Healthy Families (RFHF) was a statewide early literacy training project for Healthy Start/Healthy Families Oregon home visitors and Oregon children's librarians that took place from 2008-2011. The Final Evaluation reports on the impact of early literacy education sessions on families, partnerships among libraries and other organizations that serve families with young children, and changes in practices that likely will have a long-term impact on communities. Here are a few results of particular interest: 62% of participating home visitors and library staff continue partnering with the other agency and 42% of them established partnerships with new agencies to develop local networks of resources, support and opportunities for providing early literacy education to high-risk families; 96% of participating home visitors and library staff continue to use at least some aspects of curriculum to provide early literacy activities for families with young children. Librarians reported an increase in the activities provided by their library, specifically: 93% reported their library provides book lists and early literacy brochures to families (from 82% prior to RFHF); 88% reported having/adding a preschool component to the summer reading program for ages 0-5 (from 81% prior to RFHF); 88% reported having age-specific story times for babies, toddler, and preschooler rather than one storytime for all children birth through Kindergarten (from 81% prior to RFHF); 82% reported providing early literacy training for parents (from 48% prior to RFHF). 2012 Annual Report of the Oregon Intellectual Freedom Clearinghouse Now Available [BookLogo]The 2012 Annual Report is now available on Oregon Intellectual Freedom Clearinghouse. The report is a compendium of 28 challenges to library material in eight public libraries and one school library between July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012. The Oregon Intellectual Freedom Clearinghouse (OIFC) collects reports about formal, written challenges to library material from all types of Oregon libraries. The information is reported to OIFC by Oregon libraries on a voluntarily basis. OIFC compiles the reports from libraries into an annual report each year; all previous reports are also available online at Oregon Intellectual Freedom Clearinghouse. Please visit the OIFC webpage to learn about how to prepare your library for potential challenges, how to talk with patrons who express concerns about material, what happens after a reconsideration report form is submitted, and how to deal with the media if a challenge goes public.

Return to top of page Other Library News Orbis Cascade Selects Ex Libris for Shared ILS [ExLibrisLogo]On July 13, the Orbis Cascade Alliance Council of Library Directors voted to enter into a shared integrated library system (ILS) contract with Ex Libris for Alma (library management system) and Primo (discovery layer). This decision is the culmination of a multi-year process to select a vendor for a shared ILS for the 37-member consortium of academic libraries in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. Orbis Cascade's recent strategic planning identified a need for a single consortial solution to replace member libraries' stand-alone systems, in order to improve services and facilitate better collaboration. Lynn Chmelir, Interim University Librarian at Portland State University, will serve as Shared ILS Implementation Manager and Chair of the Implementation Team.

She served on the Illinois Library Association Board of Directors for three years before becoming the chair of the organization's Advocacy Committee in 2011.* *How do you work with your team to advocate for libraries?* As the Chair of the Advocacy Committee I work side by side with the director of the Illinois Library Association (ILA) to promote the various advocacy initiatives that ILA does. The one initiative that we developed was the Legislative Action Network (LAN). This is a network that is made up of library community advocates who are inputted into a database that is broken up by legislative districts. The LAN is put to work whenever an urgent legislative item comes and urgent action is needed. We send an email to those individuals in the specific district in order to get the action needed carried out in timely manner. Other initiatives that we work on are development of an Advocacy Toolkit, Legislative functions, speaking engagements at trustee functions, participation in ILA annual conference, National Library Day promotion and Illinois Legislative Day events. *We need to stress that the library community needs to talk about their libraries to everyone, and to stress the value and return on the investment that a library gives a community.* *How did you get involved with advocacy?* I have always been involved with advocacy in some way since I began my work as a librarian. I started with simply making calls to local legislators on bills. I started attending the ILA Legislative Day in Springfield when I became a director and that is when I really saw the value of advocating. I became the Chair of the ILA Advocacy Committee last year and was able to begin to make a difference with advocacy ideas for ILA. *What's going on right now in Illinois?* To address the state's economic challenges, we are working to engage library activists from all across the entire state because each area has their own specific issues. Right now, we have a committee of ten advocates, made up of five library advocates from north end of the state and five library advocates from the south. For example, northern Illinois is more urban, more centered around Chicago, while the South is more rural and has more farmland. The southern regions have much larger districts geographically, but smaller populations. Recently, a legislator proposed a bill that pushed for giving all of the homeless library cards, which was not an easy mandate for our rural libraries. *Why should Illinois librarians get involved in advocacy at this time?* We need to promote libraries and make sure everybody knows about the value of libraries. If we don't do it, who is going to do it? This is our profession; it's our responsibility to advocate for funding. The strategy that ILA will be implementing this next year is the need to educate the library community on the importance of developing a relationship with local, state and national officials. This is a message that we need to get out to all levels of the library organizations--it can not only be the library director who makes the contact. We need to stress that the library community needs to talk about their libraries to everyone, and to stress the value and return on the investment that a library gives a community. It's amazing how many people don't talk to their legislators, how many people are afraid to pick up the phone and call their policymakers. I tell library advocates that legislators are people, and they want to hear from their constituents. Advocacy is very easy to do. To give you an example, I was at a senator's event this morning. I went up to her and talked to her about what is happening in my library this summer, and it was easy. By building this relationship with the Senator, I know that when library issues come up, she's going to know what's going on. I think of it as my job to let her know that libraries are important. *How do you typically meet with legislators?* I usually meet in person with my state legislators. The Illinois Library Association has a statewide Legislative Day, which is when library advocates visit leaders in Springfield, Ill. This year will be the first-time that the ILA Advocacy Committee will try to have a locally-focused advocacy week where activists will meet with legislators in their home offices. We're doing this to promote the importance of building relationships with leaders in the home offices, instead of going all the way to Springfield. I personally love visiting my home office more than the Springfield office because I can talk more about local issues. I also traveled to Washington, D.C. last year to participate for the first time in National Library Legislative Day. The time I spent there gave me an appreciation of the work that the American Library Association does, and the work that our congressmen and congresswomen are doing. After seeing so many library supporters, I came back home to Illinois feeling energized and proud of my profession. It was great to listen to other states and know that we are not alone. I think every library advocate should experience National Library Legislative Day . When I attended the National Library Day in Washington D.C., I really saw the "big picture" of lobbying for libraries and really felt that I received a great education on advocacy during the two days I was there. I'm definitely going to participate next year, there's no doubt, and my goal is to get more people to attend by asking libraries to put this event in their budgets. *Do you have any advice for first-time advocates?* Find out who your legislators are, and write down their names and tape it up in on your desk, so you have it in front of your face at all times. Mail them your library newsletters and invite them to all of your library functions. Call them up and write them--it's as simple as that. After you do those acts, everything will fall into place. It also helps to familiarize yourself with the tools that are on the ALA advocacy webpageand the ILA website . The ILA Public Policy Committee and Advocacy Committee used basic advocacy strategies, such as phone call and email campaigns, to effectively advocate for libraries. This last year, we had a tax issue with some towns in Illinois, where a bill wanted to lower the tax rate, which would negatively impact many communities. The bill is currently at a standstill. Later, several mayors met to have a hearing about the tax bill, and they mentioned that opposition from libraries helped put the bill in perspective. It felt good to hear that from those leaders. *Betsy Adamowski is the chair of the Illinois Library Association Advocacy Committee and a member of the organization's Public Policy Committee.

I recently learned that one of Oregon Humanities' Conversation Project topics in on censorship in literature. It is too late to schedule this topic for Banned Books Week this year, but I asked and learned that this topic will be available during Banned Books Week 2013. Applications for Conversation Project programs taking place during Banned Books Week next year will be accepted between April and May 2013 (they schedule roughly 6 months in advance). Also keep in mind that this topic is always relevant, not just during the last week of September! Some details are below in the email I received from Oregon Humanities. You can learn more about this and other Conversation Project topics online at: http://oregonhumanities.org/programs/section/conversation-project/. Questions?

Our mission is to connect Oregonians to ideas that changes lives and transform communities. A quick intro to the program Conversation Project programs last sixty to ninety minutes, and are designed to improve understanding of diverse perspectives on a given subject. All discussions are led by humanities experts who have been trained as conversation facilitators, connect the subject to participants' experiences and to the local community, and model critical thinking without advocating a particular political agenda. Conversation Project programs can be hosted as stand-alone events, parts of a series, or as supplements to a nonprofit's regular programming. Oregon Humanities funds conversation leaders' honoraria, mileage, and meals. Nonprofit hosts manage program logistics (i.e. space, A/V, advertising) and cover lodging expenses in cases when conversation leaders travel long distances; there is no fee to apply. Themed series and programs offered in Spanish are available. And finally, a quick summary of the conversation about censoring literature: To Cut or Not to Cut: Censorship in Literature by Pancho Savery (Reed College) Recent efforts to remove the "N" word in literature-from the new edition of Mark Twain's Huck Finn in which the word is changed to "slave" to the attempt to halt a high school production of August Wilson's Joe Turner's Come and Gone because of its "offensive" language-raise questions about censorship. Is censorship ever a good thing? Should accommodations be made considering the difference between a character's and author's point of view? Reed College professor Pancho Savery will facilitate a discussion that examines these questions, as well as how language is used in Twain's and Wilson's texts. The full catalog of available conversations - as well as details about how the program works and how to apply - can be found here: http://oregonhumanities.org/programs/section/conversation-project/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I'm writing to announce our next meetings. Unfortunately, we didn't secure a spot for an August meeting (though if you would like to host at your library, there's still plenty of August left, so please send me an email, we are always in need of hosts!). In the absence of a library to visit, may I suggest that we meet for the Portland Farmer's Market Local Lunch Market at Pioneer Courthouse Square? We can find something wonderful to eat, or bring our brown bags and take in some sun and the scene in the square. I'm not a sun worshipper by any means, but I try to remember how long the winter can feel. We can chat about what's going on at our respective libraries, or any interesting conferences we've attended lately, and so on. I'll be standing by the statue of the 'man with umbrella' up the stairs at the square at noon, on August 14, which is next Tuesday. I'll wear my Everest College name tag, in case anyone is trying to find me that doesn't know me. Here is the link to the Market info: http://www.portlandfarmersmarket.org/index.php/markets/pioneer-square/ In September, I am pleased to announce that we'll be treated to a visit and a tour of the Oregon Historical Society's Research Library! Geoff Wexler was kind enough to extend us an invitation, and I'm personally very excited to learn more about their collection. We will be going there sometime during the last two weeks of the month. Please stay tuned for a solid date and time, but keep it in mind, it's sure to be very interesting. Thank you so much, Elsa Elsa Loftis, M.L.I.S.

QUT conferred the degree to Wakimoto during July, and Wakimoto celebrated her accomplishments with doctoral program students and supervisors during the program?s annual residency in San Jose, California, held on July 30-August 3, 2012. ?I'm excited to have completed the program and look forward to seeing others finish the program shortly,? said Wakimoto. Four other doctoral students are poised to complete the San Jose Gateway PhD Program soon. They?ve already completed their dissertations and presented their findings to supervisory panels. Wakimoto?s research focused on community-based archives in an effort to understand how their practices differ from traditional institutions. Wakimoto conducted oral history interviews with community archivists and volunteers at three community archives. Her analysis sheds light on the history of community archives and provides a detailed account of community archives? staffing models, circulation policies, and descriptive practices. Wakimoto?s work suggests new ways in which archivists can build collaborative partnerships with their communities to preserve the experiences of diverse groups. ?I'll be presenting part of my research at a conference in Melbourne during late November,? said Wakimoto, ?and then attending the graduation ceremony at QUT.? Wakimoto currently works as a librarian at California State University, East Bay, where she manages the university archives. She also serves as a liaison to several science departments and teaches information literacy courses. Although Wakimoto has completed the doctoral program, she intends to stay involved. ?I want to help mentor new students and create an alumni group for the San Jose Gateway PhD Program,? she said. Four new doctoral students attended the recent residency in San Jose, California, and are eager to start their research. The other San Jose Gateway PhD students who have completed their research and presented their findings in recent months include Cheryl Stenstr?m , who examined library funding decisions by public officials; Mary Ann Harlan , who studied the information practices of teen content creators; Tina Inzerilla , who explored the teaching social networks of community college faculty and their implications for librarians; and Virginia Tucker , who studied the learning experiences of searchers to better understand the acquisition of search expertise. The San Jose Gateway PhD Program admitted its first students in 2008 and uses a distance education model to serve students who work part time and full time while earning their degrees. They receive guidance and one-on-one mentoring from SJSU SLIS and QUT faculty. For more information about the San Jose Gateway PhD Program students and their original research, please visit: http://slisweb.sjsu.edu/programs/gateway-phd The San Jose State University School of Library and Information Science offers two fully online master?s degrees, a fully online certificate program, and a doctoral program: Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS), Master of Archives and Records Administration (MARA), Post-Master?s Certificate in Library and Information Science, and the San Jose Gateway PhD Program.

In the course of the project, cataloger Sara Stroman converted over 4200 records into MARC format, and these now appear in WorldCat and the Historical Society's local online catalog (http://librarycatalog.ohs.org/eosweb/opac/ ). In addition, over 600 records for unprocessed accessions were converted from an in-house database into MARC format and are also available online now. To add even further accessibility to these materials, the project's MARC records were also converted into EAD files and submitted to the Northwest Digital Archives database (http://nwda-db.wsulibs.wsu.edu/nwda-search/). This MARC to EAD conversion was facilitated by a new program, called MarcEdit, developed by Terry Reese of Oregon State University. The entire project has been a great boon to researchers and to the Historical Society's staff. Many previously hidden collections have now come to light, including an 1856 autograph letter from Senator Charles Sumner describing his physical condition after being attacked in the Senate chamber. Founded in 1898, the Oregon Historical Society holds the world's largest library of Oregon-related materials. Besides a collection of over 12,000 linear feet of manuscripts, the Society houses approximately 2.5 million photographic images, 35,000 books, 30,000 maps, 6000 oral histories, and 8.5 million feet of moving image materials. With the completion of the manuscript catalog conversion, the Historical Society now has approximately 1/3 of its entire holdings represented online, including all books and pamphlets and a sizable proportion of map and photograph collections. Additional projects are now being planned to convert records for all remaining materials - including artifacts -- as well as for the digitization of its image collections.

Oregon Humanities believes that the humanities help build healthy communities where citizens think, learn, and talk together about important ideas. Our grants support humanities-based programs that are open to the general public and that help to create informed, engaged communities in Oregon. We are particularly interested in public programs that bring together diverse groups of Oregonians and reflect collaboration between organizations within a community. We welcome applications from nonprofits across the state, including those organizations that may not define their mission specifically through the disciplines of the humanities. Last year, Oregon Humanities Public Program Grants funded programs that brought together returning veterans and civilians to better understand life after war, engaged rural Oregonians in discussions about the history of local social movements, explored the connections between classic Greek mythology and gang violence in today?s society, and sent Oregon Book Award finalists and winners to read at libraries and community centers across the state. 2013 Public Program Grants between $1,000 and $10,000 support humanities-based public programming beginning after April 1, 2013. Letter of Interest postmark deadline: October 31, 2012. Please join Oregon Humanities grants staff for a webinar on writing strong letters of interest for Public Program Grants. Attending this webinar is not mandatory, but it is strongly encouraged. The webinar will take place on Thursday, September 20, 11:00 a.m. ? 12:00 noon. Register today by following this link: https://oregonhumanities.webex.com/oregonhumanities/onstage/g.php?t=a&d=667114032 Grant guidelines are available for download at oregonhumanities.org.

But don't panic! Just because you are not a usability expert or do not have a local usability group to call upon does not mean that "use-ability" testing is out of reach. In Don't Make Me Think, Steven Krug notes that "After all, usability really just means...making sure that something works well: that a person of average (or even below average) ability and experience can use the thing - whether it's a Web site, a fighter jet, or a revolving door - for its intended purpose without getting hopelessly frustrated." In this session, we will use case studies to demonstrate why information professionals should consider usability testing. We will share tips and tools used to conduct testing so you can improve your users' experiences regardless of the context in which you work.

However, county residents reopened those doors in 2011 by creating the independent and stable Hood River County Library District (HRCLD). After the library district's first year of operation, July 2011 to June 2012, residents have shown just how much they missed their libraries. During that year, HRCLD patrons checked out more materials, had access to more new items, and came to programs more often than the year before the libraries closed. And this was all done while ending the year with a strong fiscal outlook. The situation did not always look so rosy. The Hood River County Library, a department of Hood River County, faced severe cuts due to mounting costs and decreasing revenues for the county. The libraries closed on July 1, 2010, after the failure of a May ballot measure to create a special library district, referred to voters by the County Commissioners. At the November 2010, general election, the voters of Hood River County approved a second measure to form a library district, albeit at a lower rate than the first measure. The newly-formed HRCLD is an independent unit of local government, with a dedicated tax base devoted to running the libraries in Hood River County. While the district did not receive its first allotment of taxes until November 2011, it was able to open in July thanks to the donations and efforts of Hood River County residents, private foundations, and the Oregon and Washington library communities. Even under these difficult circumstances, though, people came out to support and use their libraries. The nearly 5,400 people who used their card during the first year: * Checked out 101,246 items, 5.2% more than the previous open year; * Gained access to 5,329 new items, 55% more than the previous open year; * Came to 226 children's, young adult, and adult programs, with the total attendance of 7,940 being 20% higher than the previous open year; * Had 17,021 sessions on library-provided internet computers. HRCLD also introduced many successful and new programs and services. Patrons can now check out e-readers from their libraries and receive personalized help with their devices. There is now programming specifically for teens, including the popular Literary Trivia Challenge. The libraries now have dedicated bilingual English/Spanish staff to serve the over 30% of the county of Latino descent. In addition, the Friends of the Hood River County Library's annual Hood River County Reads with /The Circuit/ author Francisco Jimenez proved the most successful yet, with over 1,600 people attending talks by the author. And the Hood River County Library Foundation, following its successful early opening fundraising campaign, raised $40,000 to give to the library district for its 2012-13 fiscal year. Despite anticipating a rocky first year financially, the library district also ended the year in strong fiscal health. It has ample reserve funds to operate through November, when new tax revenue will be received, without the need to take out any loans, as is common practice even among established districts. The district receives approximately $700,000 in tax revenue annually thanks to the generosity of Hood River County's voters and property owners. The library district anticipates many more successful years to come. For more information about HRCLD, its programs and services, or its successful first year, please contact the district at 541-386-2535, info at hoodriverlibrary.org, or visit their website at http://hoodriverlibrary.org. /Attached image byline:/ Students from Cascade Locks School sing at the "Welcome Back Old Friend" event in March, which was inspired by the reopening of Hood River County's, Ore., libraries. The libraries just ended their first year as a district in June. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

However, county residents reopened those doors in 2011 by creating the independent and stable Hood River County Library District (HRCLD). After the library district's first year of operation, July 2011 to June 2012, residents have shown just how much they missed their libraries. During that year, HRCLD patrons checked out more materials, had access to more new items, and came to programs more often than the year before the libraries closed. And this was all done while ending the year with a strong fiscal outlook. The situation did not always look so rosy. The Hood River County Library, a department of Hood River County, faced severe cuts due to mounting costs and decreasing revenues for the county. The libraries closed on July 1, 2010, after the failure of a May ballot measure to create a special library district, referred to voters by the County Commissioners. At the November 2010, general election, the voters of Hood River County approved a second measure to form a library district, albeit at a lower rate than the first measure. The newly-formed HRCLD is an independent unit of local government, with a dedicated tax base devoted to running the libraries in Hood River County. While the district did not receive its first allotment of taxes until November 2011, it was able to open in July thanks to the donations and efforts of Hood River County residents, private foundations, and the Oregon and Washington library communities. Even under these difficult circumstances, though, people came out to support and use their libraries. The nearly 5,400 people who used their card during the first year: * Checked out 101,246 items, 5.2% more than the previous open year; * Gained access to 5,329 new items, 55% more than the previous open year; * Came to 226 children's, young adult, and adult programs, with the total attendance of 7,940 being 20% higher than the previous open year; * Had 17,021 sessions on library-provided internet computers. HRCLD also introduced many successful and new programs and services. Patrons can now check out e-readers from their libraries and receive personalized help with their devices. There is now programming specifically for teens, including the popular Literary Trivia Challenge. The libraries now have dedicated bilingual English/Spanish staff to serve the over 30% of the county of Latino descent. In addition, the Friends of the Hood River County Library's annual Hood River County Reads with The Circuit author Francisco Jimenez proved the most successful yet, with over 1,600 people attending talks by the author. And the Hood River County Library Foundation, following its successful early opening fundraising campaign, raised $40,000 to give to the library district for its 2012-13 fiscal year. Despite anticipating a rocky first year financially, the library district also ended the year in strong fiscal health. It has ample reserve funds to operate through November, when new tax revenue will be received, without the need to take out any loans, as is common practice even among established districts. The district receives approximately $700,000 in tax revenue annually thanks to the generosity of Hood River County's voters and property owners.

Unless your other studies provided you with a background in education, public speaking, and/or design, you?ve likely found yourself in the awkward situation of having to deliver a class or presentation knowing that you?re not really confident in your abilities or wondering if you could do better. Effective communication involves blending words and visuals, stories and facts, in a way that creates a setting where your audience both gets and remembers the message you share. This workshop will provide an overview of some basics in design and presentation to help you become a better communicator, teacher, and ultimately, LIBRARIAN! Come prepared to be active, to take part, to try new things, to be creative, and to have fun. You?ll leave with the energy and enthusiasm to speak to thousands (or at least 10). Becoming an Expert Searcher for Evidence-Based Content October 13, 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 noon Terry Jankowski How can you build a search to effectively retrieve evidence-based content? What are the database features you can utilize? This class looks at these questions and practices methods used by expert searchers to accomplish these tasks. Learn some advanced search techniques for PubMed and create a plan to apply these skills to other databases. Target audience & prerequisites: librarians or health information professionals who consider themselves to be beginning or intermediate searchers. Basic PubMed searching knowledge and skills required. Some familiarity with MeSH? or another controlled vocabulary is helpful but not required. Optimize Your E-Learning Design and Development: A Hands-On Workshop 1:00 - 5:00 p.m. Jan Buhmann Whether you are new to e-learning design and development or you would just like to explore new options for optimizing development in your medical library, this workshop will feature tips, techniques and examples from some of the most efficient e-learning developers in medical libraries and healthcare. The workshop explores best practices in designing effective, self-paced learning. Come prepared to both learn and practice techniques through hands-on exercises in a computer lab. Electronic Health Records in the Era of Meaningful Use 1:00 - 4:00 p.m. Vishnu Mohan In 2011, the federal government began to pay bonuses to clinicians and hospitals that adopt electronic health records (EHRs). As a consequence, in the last few years EHR implementation rates have increased substantially. and the number of clinicians using EHRs have also risen exponentially. This workshop examines EHR use, particularly in the area of clinical decision support, and the role of librarians in supporting clinicians' information needs. We will look at the impact of Meaningful Use and EHRs on clinical workflows, health care expenditures, privacy and security, and clinician documentation. We will focus on the role of the librarian in the shifting world of health care delivery in an interactive fashion. -- Chris Shaffer, MS, AHIP University Librarian and Associate Professor Oregon Health & Science University Library shafferc at ohsu.edu 503-367-4693 Skype: chris.shaffer http://www.ohsu.edu/library/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The Textbook Work Group is appointed to investigate whether or not there is any appropriate legislative action that Oregon can take to reduce the impact of textbook costs on our higher-education students. Our first hearing was last Thursday, at PSU, and one of the ideas that came up directly effects libraries: It was proposed that publishers of adopted texts provide one 'free' copy to the college's library for every 50 books ordered by the bookstore. The idea is that this copy would then become a reserve that can be used by students who were unable to buy the text. (A study from a couple of years ago found that 30% of Oregon State University students did not buy required textbooks.) Since I was appointed specifically to represent libraries, I am bringing it to your attention so that you have the ability to comment on this, or any other aspect of textbook costs. You can do this either via email (attach your comments in a .doc or .docx file, please) or by signing up to speak at the next two hearings. I will pass any comments or testimony I receive onto the committee as a whole. The two remaining public hearings are Sept 13, from noon-1 pm in the State Capitol, and Oct 4 from 2-4 pm at Portland State University. Please send your comments to: anthony.greiner at pcc.edu and put "Textbooks" in the subject line. You can also contact me if you want to testify in person. MATERIAL SENT TO ME ON THIS MATTER WILL ENTER THE PUBLIC RECORD. Keep in mind that our committee is charged with making recommendations to the legislature about what they can do, so framing your comments in that context will be most useful.

When properly harnessed, public engagement can be the most powerful force of all for library advocacy. But rounding up advocates from the wider community and conducting a grassroots effort demands careful planning and commitment.

From experts, pundits, and next-door neighbors, we hear that the future of academic libraries is uncertain, that the future of higher education itself is uncertain, and that libraries in general are in crisis. Faced with this narrative, it is tempting to change who we are and what we do in order to remain relevant, and to demonstrate our value to our schools and communities. We must realize, however, that it is precisely who we are ? and who we have always been ? that makes us even more relevant and valuable in the face of changing times. We are committed to creating informed, literate citizens; to advocating for free speech and access to knowledge; and to creating spaces where intellectual curiosity and individual expression are welcomed and fostered. Our tools, techniques, and buildings may have changed, but our core identity remains ? and remains vital to our communities. We must not change who we are; we need only change how we communicate our value. Join us for two days of conversation about the value and importance of academic libraries in these interesting times. You'll leave energized, inspired, and with some good ideas about new ways to share your library's story. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The Fall Conference is a two-day, single-track opportunity to learn more about academic libraries in the region, meet colleagues, and discuss key issues of our profession.
