Return to top of page State Library News Oregon State Library 2012 Fall Lecture Series - Final Lecture [BarbaraMahoney]The Oregon State Library is pleased to announce our last lecture in our Fall series on Wednesday, December 5th in Room 103 from 12:00-1:00. This lecture is entitled, "Oregon Democracy: Asahel Bush, Slavery & Statehood Debate," and features author, historian, and Oregon Encyclopedia contributor Barbara Mahoney. In 2003, she won an Oregon Book Award for Dispatches and Dictators: Ralph Barnes for the Herald Tribune, a biography of Oregon native Ralph Barnes, European correspondent for the New York Herald Tribune during the 1920s and 1930s. As the editor of the pioneer Salem newspaper, the Oregon Statesman, and a leader of the Democratic party, Asahel Bush shepherded the Oregon territory to statehood in the midst of the national controversy over slavery that led to the Civil War. As early as 1843, the people of the territory had rejected slavery. Opposed to slavery as unsuitable for Oregon, Bush used the Statesman to shape the debate, always portraying the issue as one of economics, not morality. After considerable and bitter argument, the drafters of the future state's constitution specifically outlawed it. Bush's influence and his adamant loyalty to the United States led several contemporaries to conclude that he played the key role in keeping Oregon in the Union. Please join us in December as our Fall Lecture series concludes. Oregon State Library Evaluates Oregon Collection Oregon State Library has been collecting Oregon-related materials since its inception. These materials are collectively known as the Oregon Collection. A three-phase evaluation of this collection is underway with Phase 1 evaluation completed and Phase 2 begun in October. The evaluation is a two-tier review process and a specially-developed Oregon Collection Dispersal Matrix Tool is applied in the evaluation process. Findings during Phase 1 evaluation of 38,859 items included learning that 23% of these items need cataloging, 15% need repairs or preservation treatments, and 2% belong in Special Collections. Because this is a discovery process, we have found some interesting items: * Scrip circulated in Oregon in 1933 - actual pieces of Depression-era scrip from different municipalities in Oregon, including one made of sheepskin, and two made of buckskin; * Patent to claim 46 under Oregon donation land act, granted to heirs of Jacob Grim and his wife Mahala Grim, Oct. 19, 1866 - original certificate with seal, and handwritten description and map of location. While evaluating the Oregon Collection is a resource-intensive task, it is a collection of items that should be more accessible to all Oregonians. The evaluation of this collection will bring us closer to achieving this goal. For more information, please contact Kate McGann. Governor Honors State Library Volunteer with Lifetime Achievement Award [MullinAward]The State Library had a wonderful opportunity to honor a long time Talking Book and Braille Services volunteer on November 9th at the Governor's Volunteer Awards ceremony in Salem. Clyde Mullin was selected to receive the Statewide Outstanding Lifetime Volunteer Achievement Award for 2012. The award was presented to Clyde by former Governor Vic Atiyeh. Clyde has repaired over 12,000 cassette players for Talking Books over the past 21 years. He also has delivered over 30,000 meals for Salem-Keizer Meals on Wheels. And at 95 years old he continues to volunteer! Clyde was among 14 individuals and 12 organizations honored for volunteer service.

[IMLS logo] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE December 3, 2012 IMLS Press Contact 202-653-4799 Giuliana Bullard, gbullard at imls.gov Call for Applications: National Leadership Grants-Libraries Washington, DC?The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) is accepting applications in the following grant program: National Leadership Grants-Libraries Deadline: February 1, 2013 The guidelines for National Leadership Grants-Libraries have changed this year. Because the program is no longer aligned with National Leadership Grants for Museums, it no longer includes a category for Library-Museum Collaboration. Museum applicants should see the National Leadership Grants for Museums guidelines on the IMLS website. Collaboration is still an important characteristic of successful grant applications, and partnerships with museums and other libraries and community organizations are encouraged, but not required. Collaborative partnerships can help demonstrate a broad need, field-wide buy-in and input, access to appropriate expertise, and sharing of resources. In addition to the types of proposals normally encouraged under the NLG-Libraries program, IMLS will continue its commitment to early learning in FY 2013 by encouraging proposals that address learners from ages 0-8 along with their parents and caregivers. NLG-Libraries applicants are encouraged to partner with community organizations to address at least one of the challenges identified by the Campaign for Grade Level Reading including school readiness, summer reading loss, and chronic school absences. Click here to learn more about IMLS's role in this initiative. Members of the IMLS staff are available by phone and e-mail to discuss general issues relating to National Leadership Grants-Libraries. We also invite you to participate in one of two pre-application web conferences to learn more about the program, ask questions, and listen to the questions and comments of other participants. The web conference schedule for the FY 2013 National Leadership Grants for Libraries program is as follows: Tuesday, December 4, 2012, 2 - 3 p.m., Eastern Time Tuesday, January 8, 2013, 2 - 3 p.m., Eastern Time Click here for more information about this funding opportunity, including program guidelines, contacts, and web conference access information.

[2013452]The Nation?s Report Card: Vocabulary Results from the 2009 and 2011 NAEP Reading Assessments presents results for student performance on the systematic measure of vocabulary included in the 2009 and 2011 NAEP reading assessments. While previous NAEP assessments had included some vocabulary questions, the new framework for the 2009 assessment provided criteria for developing vocabulary questions as well as prescribing the number of questions to be included in each comprehension section of the assessment. This systematic assessment of vocabulary allows for NAEP to more fully assess the impact of vocabulary knowledge on students? comprehension and makes it possible to report on students? vocabulary performance. Vocabulary questions are designed to assess how well students are able to use words to gain meaning from the passages they read. NAEP vocabulary questions assess whether readers know a word well enough to use it to comprehend the sentence or paragraph in which the word occurs. Vocabulary results from the 2009 reading assessment are based on nationally representative samples of 116,600 fourth-graders, 103,400 eighth-graders, and 44,500 twelfth-graders. Results from the 2011 assessment are based on samples of 213,100 students at grade 4 and 168,200 students at grade 8. The reading assessment was not administered at grade 12 in 2011. Click here to find complete 2011 results for the nation, as well as findings from the student, teacher, and school surveys. Download the print report and find additional resources and information from the Reading website. NAEP is a product of the National Center for Education Statistics at the Institute of Education Sciences, part of the U.S. Department of Education. The National Assessment Governing Board sets policy for NAEP.

Grant for Early Childhood Learning Programs NEWS RELEASE DECEMBER 6, 2012 Media Contact: Tim Raphael, 503-689-6117 Amy Wojcicki, 503-689-5324 Oregon Wins ?Race to the Top? Grant for Early Childhood Learning Programs (Salem, OR) ? Governor Kitzhaber today announced that Oregon is a recipient of the federal ?Race to the Top ? Early Learning Challenge? grant. The state will receive $20 million over four years to strengthen the state?s early childhood system and ensure that Oregon children reach school ready to succeed. The grant was announced by the U.S Department of Education and the U.S Department of Health and Human Services, which jointly issue the grants. State recipients are chosen based on their ability to implement coherent, compelling, and comprehensive early learning education reform that results in high-quality early learning programs for young children. This funding is designed to spur broad system improvement ? not to pay for direct services to young children. A total of $500 million will be awarded through the Race to the Top ? Early Learning Challenge. ?This is a welcome endorsement of Oregon?s focus on improving early learning and school readiness,? said Governor Kitzhaber. ?Success in school starts long before school. This federal investment in our efforts will help to improve results for children and families and contributes to our efforts to transform Oregon education at all levels.? Jada Rupley, Early Learning System Director, praised the announcement. ?Oregon has charted a clear direction and taken many important steps in the past two years to improve early learning. Winning Race To The Top will help us to move further, faster, to improve opportunities and results for kids.? Oregon?s application was based on the Governor?s initiatives to create a more coordinated approach to budgeting and school curricula across the education spectrum. The federal money will support improvement in the quality of early learning and development programs, better training of early childhood educators, and better measurement of how well programs prepare children for kindergarten. This is Oregon?s first successful Race to the Top application at any level of education. The statewide Early Learning Council, established in July 2011 by the Oregon Legislature, is the lead agency in charge of implementing the grant. The Early Learning Council is housed in the Governor?s Office and is a part of the Oregon Education Investment Board, which oversees the creation of a unified system for investing in and delivering public education from early childhood through high school and college. Thirty-five states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico submitted applications to compete for the first round of the federal early learning grant, which was first announced in 2011. Oregon finished 13th (since revised to 12th) in that first round; only the top nine were funded. Based on the strength of Oregon?s application, the state was invited with four others to apply for a second round of Race to the Top in April, 2012. That second round application is the subject of today?s announcement. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

A website has been set up to share information with Oregon libraries as well as with the public. www.librariesoforegon.org/Passport. In addition, when libraries sign up to participate, the library's contact person is enrolled in a new Passport Program list-serv created to provide a forum for sharing information between libraries. I have drafted a sample press release (attached) for participating libraries to use in local media to advertise the program. Please feel free to modify as you see fit. It will probably get more interest in local news if you add a quotation from your library director or an excited patron, or add an example of the benefits OLPP will provide for your local patrons. As always, if you have any questions, please let me know.

Message-ID: <4adafa04-a3b4-4875-9c5f-6d5d265397be@cityofseaside.us> Hello wonderful Oregon Librarians! I am gathering information regarding wording of closed circuit camera signs in public libraries. If you post signs in your library alerting patrons that they are being observed via closed circuit cameras, would you be willing to share what wording you use? This is for a small public library (city) and is mostly to be used as a theft deterrent (we do have cameras but have never posted signs) Thank you, Esther Moberg Library Director Seaside Public Library Seaside, OR emoberg at cityofseaside.us -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The SDLAC is a committee of the LSTA Advisory Council, which advises the Oregon State Library Board of Trustees. Our primary responsibility is to advise on the drafting of requests for proposal, to review proposals, recommend database(s) to license, and to advise about the allocation of costs (when necessary) to libraries participating in the Statewide Database Licensing Program. At the November 2012 meeting, Jane Nichols of Oregon State University Libraries was elected the new committee chair. SDLAC members also recognized outgoing chair Canon Crawford from Marylhurst University for his service over the last year. Under his leadership, SDLAC prepared its first annual report, which provides an overview of the Statewide Database Licensing Program and the committee's activities. In the upcoming year, the SDLAC will focus on developing a RFP for the procurement of statewide databases in anticipation of the end of the current contract in 2014. The committee has scheduled 3 meetings over the next 6 months to work on the RFP document. Each member of the committee will be seeking input from their designated constituency as the RFP is developed. A list of members and the constituencies they serve is available on the Statewide Database Licensing Program web site. You are encouraged to contact your committee liaison with comments and concerns about the program. Interested in our work? Look for the State Library's call for nominations in early 2013. Committee members representing Private Academic Libraries, Public Libraries serving over 100,000, and a Resource Sharing System for the next term (7/1/2013-6/30/2016) will be needed. Contact Arlene Weible with questions or to express your interest. Please contact us if you have any other questions about the statewide databases!

We know they will be flat against the end panels but haven't decided things like: * The exact size of the label * Whether the 2 labels for each side of the stack range would be separated in some way (framed separately) or not I'm curious about approaches other libraries have taken - particularly libraries that have been through a remodel or new construction in the last 10 years. We're being pressed for some quick answers and honestly haven't really thought about it very much. Seems like in the past we spent huge amounts of time updating the labels so my dream is for something we could use a template on to create the labels and print out pretty easily. If you have some good solutions, we'd love to hear them. And if you happen to have an iPod, or camera in your phone that would lend itself to a quick email, that would be a huge help.

I'm sure I just missed this discussion but we are looking into creating a policy for loaning out Kindles/Nooks to patrons of our Library. If you currently have a policy at your library, would you please share this with me? I'm looking specifically at how much you charge patrons if the item is lost or damaged, as well as how you handle the loan of an e-reader as opposed to books. Also, if you have specific tips for locking down your accounts on the kindle or nook, that would be helpful as well. Thank you!

ALA asks all senatorsto support a group of their bipartisan colleagues including Senators Ron Wyden (D-OR), Rand Paul (R-KY) and Mike Lee (R-UT), who are asking for more time for the Senate to debate and consider amendments that would increase privacy protections and add transparency requirements. The FAA is due to sunset at the end of the year, so many in the Senate want to move quickly and just reauthorize it without any debate or consideration of amendments. Please head to the Legislative Action Centerto write your senators and ask them to ask their senate leadership to schedule time for debate and full consideration of reform proposals from Senators Wyden, Paul and Lee. Do not merely reauthorize the FAA as it currently stands. Reforms to better protect the public from warrantless wiretaps are necessary now. This action is important to the library community because of our long standing principles of patron privacy and more recent concerns about online privacy and Internet freedoms for our patrons and the general public. *Background: *The FAA is the 2008 law that, among other things, legalized the Bush administration's warrant-less wiretapping program. Congress must now reauthorize the FAA before the January 1, 2013. ALA is one of many organizations that continue to seek reform to the FAA and to urge that the warrantless wiretap provision include judicial review to obtain warrants. As it did in 2008, ALA opposes the warrantless wiretap program because the public is at risk of being needlessly spied upon with little or no legal recourse, as the law reads now. Many organizations, including ALA, the American Civil Liberties Union, and the Electronic Frontier Foundation, have signed onto a letter being sent to the Senate urging them to slow down and consider reforms. While the time is very short, there is time for the Senate to address these issues in FAA. Merely extending the existing FAA continues threaten the privacy rights of the American public. http://www.districtdispatch.org/2012/12/ask-your-senator-for-more-debate-on-privacy-bill/ -- *Diedre Conkling** Lincoln County Library District P.O.

The program was a phenomenal success, with 80,000 Oregonians participating in community reading programs throughout the state. In 2014, OLA is going to do it again. This time we are going to celebrate the centennial of Oregon's most celebrated poet, William Stafford. OLA will be joining with many other organizations throughout the state in this centennial celebration. Our goal is to once again involve 80,000 Oregonians in Oregon Reads 2014, in communities and on campuses throughout the state. This letter is your invitation to have your library take part in Oregon Reads 2014. Who Was William Stafford? William Stafford was born in Hutchinson, Kansas, in 1914, and died at his home in Lake Oswego, in 1993, at the age of 79. Between 1960 and 1993, William Stafford wrote more than 60 published collections of poetry and prose, including 12 full-length books of poems. Stafford's first book of poetry, West of Your City, was published in 1960 when he was 46 years old. His second, Traveling Through the Dark, won the National Book Award in 1963. All but one of his books was written in Oregon. When William Stafford died in 1993, the poet Robert Bly predicted that, "Bill's poetry will be more widely read in the next century than in this one." William Stafford was also an influential and beloved teacher of writing. He served as Poetry Consultant to the Library of Congress (the post now known as United States Poet Laureate) during 1970-71 and as Poet Laureate of Oregon from 1975 through 1989. Stafford grew up during the Great Depression in central and southwest Kansas, with an appreciation for nature, the Great Plains, and books. As a pacifist and conscientious objector during World War II, Stafford did alternative service in civilian work camps in Arkansas, California and Illinois. After the war, Stafford worked for the Church World Service relief organization, taught high school and finished his master's degree in English at the University of Kansas. His master's thesis, a memoir of his wartime experience in the civilian work camps, was published as Down in My Heart in 1947 and is still in print from Oregon State University Press. In 1948, Stafford joined the faculty of Lewis & Clark College, where he taught until his retirement in 1980. Stafford's poems tend to be short and deceptively simple. His plain-spoken style invites readers into the poems, which often take unexpected turns toward discovery. His poems are at once quiet and tough-minded, clear and mysterious, open-hearted and sly, serious and funny, witty and down-to-earth. While grounded in day-to-day life and local experience, they also touch on universal concerns, from war and peace to the tension between individual freedom and social responsibility. About Oregon Reads 2014 Oregon Reads 2014 will be modeled closely on our successful Oregon Reads 2009. Oregon libraries will select one or more Stafford-related books and ask everyone in their community to read them and to attend library programs that celebrate them. An important difference between Oregon Reads 2009 and Oregon Reads 2014 is that OLA will not be selecting one book for everyone to read. For Oregon Reads 2014 we will give every library the autonomy to select your own books. We do suggest that libraries select one or more of the following in-print and forthcoming books to use for your community reading program: [cid:image002.jpg at 01CDDA07.4D206F90] Early Morning: Remembering My Father, William Stafford by Kim Stafford Graywolf Press, $16 paperback "As a book written by a son warily loving an enigmatic, elusive father, this is a masterpiece." - Robert Bly Ask Me: 100 Selected Poems by William Stafford (forthcoming) Kim Stafford is currently editing a new selection of 100 best poems by his father that will be published in the fall of 2013. Graywolf Press, $16 paperback [cid:image004.jpg at 01CDDA07.4D206F90] Down in My Heart: Peace Witness in War Time by William Stafford, introduction by Kim Stafford Oregon State University Press, $15.95 paperback "Down in My Heart is not only Stafford's first book, but in some ways it is his most important book because it lays out the radical social and moral code by which he lived his life as a pacifist, a code that underlies every poem he ever wrote." -The Bloomsbury Review [cid:image006.jpg at 01CDDA07.4D206F90] Every War Has Two Losers: William Stafford on Peace and War by William Stafford, edited with an introduction by Kim Stafford Milkweed Editions, $16 paperback "Stafford offers a lifetime of lyrically posed observations postulated from the perspective of a peacemaker. He pricks the thoughtful and intellectual processes of adult and young adult readers to consider alternate solutions in resolving conflicts." - Plainfield Sun About these books, Kim Stafford has said, "These books touch on family, growing up, a sense of place, life-long learning, and the ethical foundations of citizenship, and this program will give library patrons a wide range of interests to pursue. The goal of Oregon Reads is not to study poetry, but rather to use these books in seeking our deeper identity as Oregonians." The Oregon Library Association will support Oregon Reads 2014 by providing a list of speakers who are willing and able to make library appearances in 2014, a website with information and graphics that can be used by participating libraries, and mini-grants to encourage participation by small and rural Oregon public libraries. Mini-grants will range between $500 and $1,000 depending on the size of the library and can be used to support book purchases, speaker costs or promotion of Oregon Reads 2014. What Are We Asking You to Do? Please talk to your staff, and your support groups (Friends, Foundation, etc.) about participating in Oregon Reads 2014. We hope that libraries with their own community reading programs will replace their home-grown program with Oregon Reads in 2014. There is no time designated for Oregon Reads in 2014. You can plan your program for any time in the calendar year. Between now and January 15th, we hope you will decide to participate in Oregon Reads 2014. To participate, you will need to return the attached participation form to the Oregon Reads 2014 Steering Committee. A tentative commitment will be fine, but we need to hear from libraries by January 15th in order to continue to make plans for the statewide reading program. If you are a director of a small, rural library, please indicate if you would be interested in receiving a mini-grant to support your participation. Based on the need, we will be seeking support from Oregon charitable foundations to fund the mini-grants. If you have questions for the Oregon Reads 2014 Steering Committee please feel free to email them to oregonreads2014 at gmail.com and we will answer them promptly. On behalf of the Oregon Library Association, we want to thank you for considering this unique opportunity to engage readers in your community or campus with the life, legacy and works of Oregon's greatest poet.

The report, which will be released in April 2013, will lay the foundation for decision makers at the local, state, and federal levels to fully use the capacity of libraries and museums in their early learning efforts. "Libraries and museums reach millions of children each year, and it is exciting to bring that capacity into focus," said IMLS director Susan Hildreth. "I am delighted that we will be able to tap expertise nationwide so that libraries and museums can more effectively engage in early learning strategies at the community, state, and national levels. To launch the conversation, IMLS and the Campaign brought representatives from libraries and museums together with policy makers, practitioners, experts, civic leaders and public and private funders who have made early learning a priority; the invited participants included representatives from the Smithsonian Institution, the Domestic Policy Council, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the U.S. Department of Education, United Way Worldwide, National Civic League, National League of Cities, and National Governors Association. The conversation focused on: * How libraries and museums are filling gaps and expanding early childhood learning experiences in their communities. * The key policy levers that museums and libraries should be addressing as they develop early learning programs. * Strategies to engage museums and libraries in early learning decision making at the local, state and federal levels. * Ways to build relationships with civic leaders, policy makers, and other stakeholders to fully leverage library and museum contributions to meeting our nation?s early learning challenges. Future listening activities will include webinars, conference calls and one-on-one meetings with thought leaders. Research has shown that the early years in a child?s life?when the human brain is forming?represent a critically important window of opportunity to develop a child?s full potential and shape key academic, social, and cognitive skills that determine a child?s success in school and in life. Ralph Smith, managing director of the Campaign for Grade-Level Reading and senior vice president of the Annie E. Casey Foundation noted that "despite major public and private investments, more than 80 percent of children in poverty are not reading at grade level by the end of third grade. This sets children up for failure in the later grades, fueling achievement gaps and dropout rates." The Campaign?a collaborative effort among foundations, nonprofit partners, states and communities?has made early literacy a key focus of its efforts to increase the number of low-income students reading proficiently by the end of third grade. The Campaign is currently working with 124 U.S. communities to promote literacy. The Obama Administration has placed a priority on expanding access to high quality early childhood education and made the case that supporting early learning is among the smartest investments that we can make. And in December 2010, Congress reauthorized the Museum and Library Services Act, and created a mandate for the Institute of Museum and Library Services to support early learning through grant making, partnerships with federal agencies, research, and providing policy advice. Recent IMLS actions build on a long history of support for early learning activities and include: * A partnership with the Campaign focused on the role of libraries and museums as vital partners in the 124 communities that are charter members of the Grade-Level Reading Communities Network. * More than $ 2.5 million in grants to libraries and museums that are helping low-income children reach the goal of reading on grade level by the end of third grade in coordination with the Campaign. * An information memorandum developed with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services? Offices of Child Care and Head Start to encourage partnerships with public libraries. * An IMLS research brief, "Children?s Services at Public Libraries: A Port in the Storm," published by the Urban Institute, MetroTrends.

Be an Oregon Heritage Mentor! Deadline to apply = January 15th. Mentors from the library community are needed from all regions of Oregon. An application and information about the Oregon Heritage MentorCorps is available online at http://www.oregon.gov/oprd/HCD/OHC/Pages/mentorcorps.aspx Oregon Heritage MentorCorps will train mentors to assist libraries, archives and museums with collections care and emergency preparedness issues. The mentors, who will be located in all regions of the state, will receive six days of free training to assist them in helping heritage organizations in their community. Applications to be a mentor are now available at the Oregon Heritage website. ?Every time we survey heritage organizations, the number one need besides money is training for volunteers and staff,? said Kyle Jansson, coordinator of the Oregon Heritage Commission. ?This neighbor-helping-neighbor approach is designed to have expertise available locally where it is needed.? The MentorCorps is a creative solution based upon research by the Connecting to Collections statewide planning group. That group included members from the Northwest Archivists, the Oregon Historical Society, the Oregon Library Association, the Oregon Museums Association, the Oregon State Library, the Oregon State Archives, Tam?stslikt Cultural Institute and Oregon Heritage. Their research found that staff and volunteers at the more than 200 museums, 300 public libraries and dozens of archives preferred local training, with collections care and management the most desired topics. After the mentors are trained, they will provide information and basic training in collections and emergency preparedness for libraries, museums and archives in their region. In addition to enabling cooperative efforts by libraries, archives and museums where they live, they will support the quality of life in their communities and sustaining important cultural resources. The deadline to apply to be a mentor is Jan. 15. An application and information about the Oregon Heritage MentorCorps is available online at http://www.oregon.gov/oprd/HCD/OHC/Pages/mentorcorps.aspx Additional information is available from Jansson at 503-986-0673 or kyle.jansson at state.or.us -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Our major report on "Libraries, Patrons, and E-books" was enriched by many fascinating insights from the online panels that so many librarians participated in. (That report and many others are available online at a special section of our website at libraries.pewinternet.org.) We are now in the midst of the next phase of our research, and we need your help! Our current phase of research explores the experiences and expectations of library users-how they use their libraries, what services they utilize the most, and what resources they wish their libraries offered. We've already completed a nationally representative phone survey of Americans 16 and older about their library habits, but we are also fielding a purely qualitative online questionnaire targeted at library staff members in order to provide more context about how libraries make decisions about services and programming. This questionnaire is for any and all staff members at public libraries. It briefly discusses various types of services and resources, and invites you to share your thoughts about the current (and future) state of libraries. The questionnaire is available at: http://libraries.pewinternet.org/participate/survey/library-services To log in, please use your preferred email address as your username; the password is PEWLIBS. Depending on the length of your answers, the survey should take about 10-20 minutes to complete; please feel free to skip any questions that you do not feel able to answer. The questionnaire will be available until Sunday, December 23rd. All responses will be confidential, although your answers may be quoted anonymously in a series of reports in early 2013. If you have any questions, please contact Kathryn Zickuhr at kzickuhr at pewinternet.org. We know that this is a busy time of year, and would greatly appreciate your time and assistance. Thank you! Pew Research Center Internet & American Life Project Staff The Pew Internet & American Life Project is one of seven projects that make up the Pew Research Center. The Pew Research Center is a nonpartisan "fact tank" that provides information on the issues, attitudes and trends shaping America and the world. It does so by conducting public opinion polling and social science research; by reporting news and analyzing news coverage; and by holding forums and briefings. It does not take positions on policy issues.

I appreciate all the help, especially attaching agreement forms. I'm not sure if I will be able to attach them to this compilation, if you are interested, please e-mail directly and I can send them to you individually. Thank you everyone! -Esther Esther Moberg Director, Seaside Public Library Seaside, Oregon emoberg at cityofseaside.us 503-738-6742 www.seasidelibrary.org www.facebook.com/seasidepubliclibrary We have been circulating 18 eReaders since this summer, 9 Nooks and 9 Kindles. Each of the devices is pre-loaded with 20 titles, and each device has its own genre. Our eReaders are non-holdable and non-renewable, and circulate for 14 days. We do not require an agreement to borrow the devices and there is no age restriction. Replacement cost is set at $140.00 to cover the device, charging cord and case. We don't charge for the books because they are in the cloud and we can reload them onto a new device if necessary. I have not locked down the devices, but just made sure my credit card information was removed from the Barnes and Noble and Amazon accounts after I loaded the devices. Let me know if you need any other information. The project has been really successful here. Hope your day is going good. I am the Technical Services Librarian at the Durango Public Library in Durango, Colorado and would like to share our Nook policies with you. As for our Nook checkouts they have been very popular, we have been circulating them for about two years and have 40 of them in circulation. They include the original white one, the color Nook and the simple touch Nook. We placed them in the kit bags used for the read along juvenile books and CD, it includes the Nook, charge cord, a "What's in the Bag" card and a copy of the "Quick Start Guide" that comes with the Nook. They can only be checkout and returned at the Reference desk, who gives them to the IS department for cleanup and charging. We do allow our patrons to download titles from Overdrive and OneClickDigital and offer regular classes for their usage. Before a patron can check one out they are required to review a quick tutorial and sign an agreement form. We place a note in their library record stating "ereader certified", the date, and initials of the person entering the information and only check them out to patrons 17 and older. When we purchase the Nooks we also purchase the extend warranty and have had to send one of our Color Nooks back because of a broken screen. If one is lost we charge the patron for the cost of the devise and over the past two years have only had one replaced with this process. Overall most patrons do not get into the devise and make changes but we did have one person who actually contacted Barnes and Noble and had them deregister the devise from our account and placed on her account. Needless to say she is no longer able to checkout Nooks and the Head of our IS department contacted Barnes and Noble and informed them of the situation. I have attached copies of our tutorial, agreement forms and other ereader guidelines. I have also included a link to our catalog so you can see how I have categorized our the different Nooks with different titles. Sorry if my message is a little lengthy but it there was a lot to share. Hope this helps and please feel free to contact me if you have any other questions. http://www.durangopubliclibrary.org/search~S7/?searchtype=t&searcharg=nook&searchscope=7&SORT=D&extended=0&searchlimits=&searchorigarg=tnok I am attaching a copy of the agreement that we have patrons sign, which will answer some of your questions. Most of our Kindles check out for three weeks (like books), but we do have some that are part of our Best Seller collection. These check out for two weeks (like the rest of our Best Seller books). We treat them a lot like books, except that we require a contract and that borrowers be at least 18 (although we are rethinking the age restriction). The only other difference is that the late fee is $1/day, which is more than for our books, but the same as what we charge for DVDs and book club kits. Some of our newer Kindles cost less than the original $139 version, which is reflected in the borrowing agreement for those Kindles. We have not had any loss or damage. We have had patrons delete titles both inadvertently (one title) and intentionally (all titles). We have all Kindles, partially because I started this program before the Nook Simple Touch was released. I am able to "deregister" them before circulation, which leaves the content that I've added on the device but prevents future purchasing. I only have to re-register the devices when I want to update the content on them. Another Washington County library, Hillsboro Public Library, is circulating both Kindles and Nooks. Their contact person is Hillary Ostlund: Hillary.Ostlund at hillsboro-oregon.gov Beaverton City Library has just started lending e-readers as well. What we have are the base model kindle (Retails for around 65-70) and a cover (retails around 15). We have a policy that all patrons who wish to use the kindle are required to read, and then sign an acknowledgement and acceptance form. They get to keep the policy page, while we keep the acceptance and acknowledgement. The policy is, essentially, that they won't break it, or if they do they agree to pay for it. They also agree to never loan it to anyone else, and to always return it inside, to a staff member. This is to ensure that it doesn't get damaged in the book drop, or stolen by being left on a counter when a staff person isn't around. We maintain the kindles, in the sense that when they are returned, the contents are inspected to ensure that nothing has been deleted (And if so, we reload that deleted content), and then the Kindle is plugged into a charging cable, of which we have 4 available, hooked up to a powered USB hub (But not a computer), specifically intended for use as a charging station only. The content is selected by the staff who also select collection materials. The base model kindles keep content even after a user de-registers the device, so we "register" it to our account when we want to load, or re-load, content. After we finish loading content, we simply de-register the kindle. The de-registering prevents patrons from purchasing content through the city account! Once it's got content and is charged up, we send it out. If a patron returns and wants to charge the kindle part way through their loan, we usually will lend them one of the charging cables (retail value equal to or less than 5 dollars), because they are simple micro-usb cables, which are so common that they are easy to replace...most phones and digital cameras use the same cable these days. If a patron doesn't return the kindle to a staff person, they are fined $5.00...If a patron returns the kindle to the book drop, they are charged $25.00...if the kindle, or case, is damaged, the patron pays replacement cost for the damaged item. Good luck! The Kindle's have been ridiculously popular here! One change I would make to our policy would be to not separate the content on the kindles into a different Genre on each Kindle...some of them, such as the Romance Content Kindle, don't check out often. If each Kindle has the same content, I think that they would all be out all the time, which is kind of the point, isn't it! Here are the instructions that we have created based on Lake Oswego's kindle policy. It's important, we found, that the kindles go out the door being de-registered from our account so that a patron cannot add anything onto our kindles. There is some risk and we have to look at each one as they come in, but it's been wildly popular. We have 5. We could easily get more and have them checked out all the time too. __ I'll see if I can dig up our policy for the very old Sony ebook readers that we are currently loaning. In the mean time, I'll share what I've learned in the last week or so as I looking in to updating our readers. The newer sony readers (PRS-T1 and PRS-T2) have the Overdrive app 'baked in' to them. Navigating the app on an e-ink screen isn't the best experience, but borrowers will be able to check out Library2Go books without needing any equipment aside from wifi access. Factory settings can be restored by a pressing a mysterious combination of buttons. The kindle paperwhite and other e-ink kindles would also work. I successfully registered a paperwhite to a newly created test account on amazon without entering any credit card information. Library2Go loans work fine. Purchases can only be made by a borrower if he/she makes the payment. This method would work fine if you wanted to preload the readers with a stable of public domain ebooks (sideloaded from the Calibre ebook software using a USB cable), or if you circulate it 'naked' and have borrowers add their own titles using Library2Go. If you want to pre-load it with ebooks you purchased from Amazon, there may still be a way. It seems that credit card companies have dummy credit card numbers that are used to test payment processing systems. You would purchase the ebooks with a legitimate card, then change your payment information to a dummy card (e.g. 4111111111111111 for VISA). Amazon will accept this as a payment method, but no purchases can be made with it. I have confirmed that Amazon will accept a dummy number as a payment method, but I haven't given this a thorough test. __ I actually spent time working at Barnes & Noble not long ago and you could call one of their stores and chat with a Nook specialist (I'd recommend Ramone @ Oak Park, KS - 913-492-8187) about the different ways to lock down the accounts and make them better suited for loaning. I was going to look at my device for you, but I hacked it and so now it's not a "Nook" but a general Android device. Whoops! Hope that helps if no one gets back to you with recommendations about the device itself. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

January 2 (8 - 9a) / 23 Things: The Next Generation (NCompass Live - Nebraska Library Commission) The 23 Things concept is familiar to most of us in the library world. Some have tried it out, some have tried a version of it, some still have doubts about whether it works, and some think it's over. Well, we're here to tell you, it's still going strong! Nebraska's state-wide lifelong learning program, Nebraska Learns 2.0, started as a 16 week program in 2008-2009. The original program was so popular it has continued as an ongoing program, with one new Thing offered each month since April 2009. Starting in February 2012, a BookThing was added to the program. Program organizers Christa Burns and Michael Sauers will talk about the process they have laid out over the past few years, how they've responded to participant feedback, and how the program became what it is today. They will also show other current examples of self-directed online learning programs, such as Boston Public Library's Learning for Life Online and the UK-based 23 Things for Professional Development.

Makerspaces give people a place to pursue their own interests in building things, using tools (physical or virtual) and connecting with one another. Libraries have expanded on traditional library services to provide DIY/craft/make services, setting up spaces within their buildings and within their communities that allow people to do anything from building model airplanes to 3-D printing to self-publishing novels. Learn what makerspaces are and how they work from librarians who are on the cutting edge of this movement by attending our upcoming series of free webinars. Each webinar will feature a panel of staff, administration, and patrons from one of the libraries that have implemented a makerspace. They'll talk about how their makerspace concept began, how it was designed and how it was implemented. You'll learn about the maker movement in general, the role libraries are playing specifically, and get ideas about how you can get involved and start a makerspace in your library!

You might post a picture to Facebook while on your European trip if there are other people still living at your address back home. But, if your house is empty while you travel, you would be smarter to wait to post until you get home. Do you really want everyone to know you are out alone at midnight by "checking in" at your local donut shop? You are smarter than your phone if you use sound judgment about revealing your location. You're smarter than your phone if you know you need to think critically about the sensitivity of the data you put on or access through your phone. Do you use your phone for banking, without password protecting the device? Your phone is happy to do it. But you are smarter than your phone if you protect it with a password. If you're not thinking critically about what you do with your phone, we'll help you think again!

They are an excellent and inexpensive way for libraries to move their content and services out into busy public spaces, such as transportation hubs, mass transit vehicles and other local cultural and social institutions. During this webinar we will explore current and potential uses of QR codes in libraries of all types while using the real-world experiences at the Contra Costa County Library as the primary examples and case studies. We will cover the: "Snap and Go" and "Discover and Go" projects; emerging best practices for QR Codes in libraries; and limitations, problems and professional backlash to their use. At the end of this one-hour webinar, the third of a four-part series, participants will understand: the origins, purpose, and various uses worldwide of QR codes; technical requirements and best practices for generating and using QR codes; the current and potential uses of QR codes in libraries; how QR codes fit into the broader mobile revolution; and how libraries are using QR codes effectively. This webinar will be of interest to administrators, and library and IT staff in all types of libraries interested in using QR codes to advance the library's mission.

Navigating the Information Tsunami: Engaging Research Projects That Meet the Common Core State Standards, K-5. Ann Arbor, MI: Cherry Lake Publishing, 2013. ISBN: 978-1-61080-868-2 Publisher's Description The implementation of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) calls on educators to refresh and sharpen their skills in reading, writing, math...and research! Research in the Internet Age creates new challenges for search, comprehension, synthesis, and creation skills. In Navigating the Information Tsunami: Engaging Research Projects that Meet the Common Core State Standards, K-5, we've created our first book geared directly at teachers, administrators, and librarians. Expert practitioners in research pedagogy share their best tips and lessons in nearly 20 projects that invite students to think deeply, weigh choices, make decisions, and articulate them in digital or print projects. With an eye toward the how and not merely the what of quality research for emerging readers and young scholars, our contributors provide detailed guidance on how teachers can harness students' natural curiosity to go beyond fact-gathering and exceed CCSS expectations.

The American Library Association asked library supporters to contact their legislators to advocate for amendments that would increase privacy protections to the law. Prior to the vote on the provision, Senators Ron Wyden (D-OR), Rand Paul (R-KY) and Mike Lee (R-UT) asked for more time for the Senate to debate and consider amendments that would increase privacy protections and add transparency requirements. The FAA is the 2008 law that, among other things, legalized the Bush administration's warrant-less wiretapping program. As it did in 2008, ALA opposed the warrantless wiretap program because the public is at risk of being needlessly spied upon with little or no legal recourse, as the law reads now.
