State Library Recruitment Under Way [Librarian Sign]The State Library Board of Trustees continues to follow their recruitment plan to fill the Oregon State Librarian position after Jim Scheppke's December 31st retirement. At their December 9th meeting, the Board announced their decision to reopen the job posting and close it on January 31st. The recruitment plan was updated to reflect the timeline that the Board adopted in June 2011. A formal hiring freeze by Governor Kitzhaber and the Legislature was imposed on December 13th for all state positions and is in effect at least until the end of the 2012 Legislative session. The State Library submitted its hiring exception request for the State Librarian position on behalf of Sam Hall, Board of Trustees Chair, and was granted approval from the Hiring Exception Committee. Twyla Lawson, Department of Administrative Services (DAS) Executive Recruiter, is overseeing and leading the recruitment process. Screening panel members will assist the Board with the first round interview process with an initial meeting scheduled for February 3rd. First round interviews are expected to be held on February 10th by telephone. Tentatively scheduled for Thursday, February 23rd, as part of the final interview process, Lawson will facilitate forums for staff and stakeholders to meet with the candidates, view presentations, and provide them the opportunity to give feedback for the Board's consideration in the final selection process. The Board may meet in Executive Session that afternoon for the purpose of considering the employment of a new Oregon State Librarian, where no decisions will be made. On Friday, February 24th, the Board plans to hold their business meeting, pending final arrangements. In the afternoon, the Board plans to hold a public session to hear comments regarding the employment of a new State Librarian. After another Executive Session, the Board will consider its options for selecting the next Oregon State Librarian in an open public session. Return to top of page State Library News Oregon State Library Announces 2012 Spring Lecture Series [MatthewMabey]The Oregon State Library is happy to announce its Spring Lecture Series line-up. Our first lecture is on Wednesday, February 15 in Room 102/103 from 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm and features Oregon Department of Transportation research engineer, Matthew Mabey. His lecture, entitled Seismicity and Salmon on the Oregon Coast, will explain how the earthquake hazard in Oregon spurred geologists to look carefully at the deposits in estuaries, leading to dramatic changes in perceived earthquake hazard zones and affecting how bridges and buildings are now designed and built. On a monthly basis, Mabey studies estuaries along US 101 and examines how salmon habitats are affected and possibly, improved by future changes to the highway. Additionally, his research also studies how climate change is likely to be affecting both the estuaries and highway. Please join us on February 15 for this interesting topic. Click here for more information about the lecture series. 2010-2011 Ready to Read Annual Report Now Available The 2010-2011 Ready to Read Annual Report and Best Practice Libraries report are now on the Ready to Read webpage. The Ready to Read Annual Report is an analysis of the Ready to Read Final Reports submitted to the State Library every December. The State Library has established metrics that measure the effectiveness of the Ready to Read Grant Program. The metrics provide longitudinal data on public library youth services and public library usage statistics. This data allows public libraries to see how their efforts impact library services to children in Oregon, and serves as a tool for setting local youth service goals. The Best Practice Libraries report lists those libraries that provide all three youth services best practices: outreach, summer reading, and early literacy training for caregivers. 2010-2011 Outstanding Ready to Read Grant Projects Awarded Each year, the State Library staff recognizes several public libraries for their outstanding Ready to Read Grant projects. The criteria for this recognition are: the library adheres to the original intent of the Ready to Read Grant, focuses on one or more of the three Ready to Read Grant best practices, promotes partnerships both in and out of the library, and creates a project that is replicable in other libraries, or enhances current library services. Libraries recognized for their Outstanding Ready to Read projects in 2010-2011 are: Lane Library District (Creswell), Ledding Library (Milwaukie), St. Helens Public Library, Union Carnegie Public Library, and Weston Public Library. The Ready to Read Grant web page provides more information about these outstanding projects. What is a Library Database and How Can I Promote it with Patrons? [Gale Logo]Gale and the Oregon State Library are partnering to offer a couple of webinars in the spring. Past topics have primarily focused on learning about the specific databases available in the statewide contract and how to use their interfaces. However, we realize that in the library world, personnel are at varying places in their understanding of what a database is and when and why to recommend one to patrons. For those who would benefit from a "database 101" session, we would like to step back and clarify what a library database is, discuss general features, explain when to use databases instead of or in addition to searching the Internet, and maybe even cover some general search strategies. Another webinar in development will focus on tips for marketing the Gale databases, and our hope is to differentiate sessions based on type of library. Once dates are set, we will share information on Libs-Or and post to Northwest Central. Return to top of page Other Library News OPB Partners with Libraries to Gather Patron Stories [OPB Logo]Oregon Public Broadcasting is working with libraries across Oregon to collect stories and insights about how people are using libraries via the LibrariUS widget. It's a way to explore the information, civic and social needs of communities across Oregon and the nation through the lens of local libraries. For libraries, LibrariUS is a way to learn more about what people are doing at the library to help demonstrate how you are serving your community - in traditional and new ways - and to get more stories about libraries in the news. It's also an opportunity to empower your patrons to tell their own stories, and have a greater voice in the media. If your library would be interested in partnering with OPB, contact Amanda Peacher. You can learn more about LibrariUS and see some of stories that have been submitted via the widget here.

I think they cost a little more at start-up but over time they are not too expensive. We haven't had any problems which were not addressed very quickly and through their remote access. This means staff does not have to spend much time with the computers upgrading or troubleshooting. We also don't need to pay for technical help, which is great since we do not have an IT person on staff. The staff really like the way they can remotely manage the stations from the Circulation Desk. They had not had a system that would time out users before but this is just part of the Userful package. They also like that they can set the computers to shut down a little before closing time. I think there might be an additional cost to have patrons sign-on to the computers using a library card and pin number but we did not have a use for this so I am not sure. We don't reserve computers ahead of time anymore. We did for awhile but it has worked better for the staff and patrons just to have a first come/first served situation. With the computers automatically timing out at the end of an hour (the amount of time we give users but this can be adjusted) we have been able to quickly accommodate 99% or more of our users quickly and efficiently. Here is some information from the Userful manual, http://support.userful.com/wiki/index.php/Manuals/UD/Remote_Monitoring_%26_Control_User_Guide . I know that I am not fully addressing your questions but maybe this information will help.

While I haven't used Userful (although I've been impressed with them), my last library in Coos County used home-rolled Linux desktops, and I'm migrating Hood River over to them, too. I'd never go back to Windows or Mac OS. They're so much easier in terms of security, and you're able to get so much more out of the machine in terms of speed and features. I'd highly recommend it. In case you're curious, a colleague and I presented on using Linux on public computers a few years ago at Online Northwest. It speaks a bit to pros and cons. Here are the slides: http://www.slideshare.net/nbpl/linux-desktops For what it's worth, Coos County uses Ubuntu , and Hood River is going to be using Linux Mint (which is related to Ubuntu). Userful uses a different distribution called Fedora . All three are very nice, stable, and fast dsitributions of Linux. We chose not to go with Userful not because they have a bad product. Quite to the contrary, it's nice and well-thought out. Instead, we just wanted to be able to alter the suite of software and the overall computing environment more than they were currently offering. Still, they are well worth looking into. We use a time management software called Libki ( http://libki.org/). It's simple right now (only time tracking currently), but is improving continually. Please let me know if you have other questions. Cheers!

With six other stations recently activated at the Parcade garage and another two at the Overpark garage, the city has opened three-fourths of the 16 free charging stations it plans to install in downtown and south Eugene as part of a federal pilot project. The final four will be at the Amtrak train station and Hilyard Community Center. Local car dealers who sell electric vehicles said they are delighted by the rollout of the city charging stations. ?Giving people access to these charging stations is a necessary step to offering this EV (electric vehicle) to more people,? said Chris Hoff, marketing director of Kendall Auto Group, which sells the Chevy Volt. The more charging stations there are, the more appealing the electric vehicles become, he said. ?This is good news for the people who bought (EVs),? added Billy Krebs, who handles sales of Nissan Leafs at Lithia Nissan, although Krebs added that he was hoping the city-installed stations would be the fast-charging kind, which they are not. Both Lithia and Kendall have fast-charging stations. ?There are people who travel through here from Corvallis and Portland who use our charger who are driving all the way down to Ashland,? Krebs said. ?You can go 99 miles on a charge; everybody who owns these wants the fast chargers.? Petry said it costs tens of thousands of dollars to install the Level 3 charging stations, which can provide a recharge of up to 80 percent for vehicles in 20 to 30 minutes. The city?s Level 2 charging stations, which are paid for by a federal grant and private matching funds, will provide a charge good for only about 2 miles per hour of charging. But they only cost a few thousand dollars to install, Petry said. ?These are kind of a safety valve,? he said, for someone who?s driven in from Veneta, for example, and who is getting a signal from the car that the charge is going down. ?They can park at the library up to three hours, get a cup of coffee, read a book and get enough of a charge to get home. Studies from the pilot project show that most of the charging is happening at home, overnight.? Krebs said Lithia has sold about 20 Leafs since they started taking orders around the middle of last year ? ?They?re specially ordered?... it takes about six months to get a car.? He sold one of the two remaining Leafs he had in stock on Tuesday, he said. ?If Nissan would give us 20 to 30 at a time, we could sell them all, so many people want them,? he said. Buyers come from across the age spectrum, he said, from people in their 20s to senior citizens. Prices start in the low mid-$30,000 range, he said, but added that there is a tax credit of $7,500 for buyers. There?s also the fuel savings: ?One of the first guys we sold one to has 12,000 miles on his already. He?s spent less than $200 on electricty.? Hoff said the manufacturers? suggested retail price for the Volt ?goes from the high 30s to the mid-to-high 40s.? ### -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Since they are not permanent residents of the area, we make their library cards temporary. In Clackamas county, this means they may only check out three things. This has worked quite well.

If they had the right ID, we gave them a card. We did lose items, and when that happened we contacted the adult caretakers and requested they try to locate the items. Sometimes things got returned. I personally think honoring an individual's privacy is a good idea, even if items are lost.

Despite the Groundhog seeing his shadow, I hope everyone is having a great February thus far! I was sorry that we didn't have a lunch in January, and I'm afraid it looks that way again this month as well. We simply didn't have any volunteer hosts that could accommodate us right away. Such is life. However, we have 3 fabulous libraries lined up for the spring, and I thought I'd send out a 'save the dates' email, in hopes to see you all there. In March, we'll get to visit Davis Wright Tremaine, which is at 1300 SW Fifth Avenue Suite 2400, downtown. Sue Mecklem will be hosting our group, and perhaps showing us their new library location (they will be in the middle of a move within their building, so I'm all the more grateful that she's willing to host us). In April, we will be treated to seeing the library at CH2M Hill, which is located at 2020 SW 4th Ave # 300 Portland. Kati Arzeta will be our hostess. I hope you can make it, they have a unique collection. In May, we will have a tour of the Crumpacker Family Library at the Portland Art Museum. Since we cannot eat in there, we can enjoy the Farmer's Market outdoors, or in case of rain, we are welcome to eat in the Library's Foyer. So, although I'm sorry that we've been unable to get together for a little while, we have some wonderful lunches to look forward to! I'll list the tentative dates below, and as always, will send out a reminder about a week in advance for each lunch. March 8th, Thursday: Davis Wright Tremaine April 4th, Wednesday: CH2M Hill May 2nd, Wednesday: Portland Art Museum Library Please remember that we meet at noon, and that we each supply our own food and beverages. Thanks so much, and if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. Best regards, Elsa Loftis Elsa Loftis, M.L.I.S.

New York : Neal-Schuman Publishers, c2008 >From the publisher: If your library's website is not as user-friendly as it could or should be, you need this book. A LITA guide, it is the most authoritative, [http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uA-dSjA3u3E/TyrsR13cUNI/AAAAAAAAAGk/0GmuCxA_BMs/s400/usable.jpg] current reference on usability testing for libraries. It gives you practical advice in clear, non-technical prose, plus success stories from 18 academic, public, corporate, and government libraries. Read it and you will learn what usability assessments are, why they are important for libraries, why you should do them regularly, and what the most common challenges are. You will also learn all of the necessary how-tos, whats, and whys for the most common assessment techniques and how to interpret your results, document findings, and effectively communicate results and recommendations. Usability-in-action success stories from Purdue, the University of Virginia, and Wright State University libraries; the Clinton Macomb Public Library in Michigan; the MITRE corporate library; and the library at NASA Goddard offer rare insights and practical advice for facing challenges like limited time, working within a budget, and rallying support for website changes.

Written by two experts who have won millions in grants from an astonishing variety of funding sources, Winning Grants is a combination workbook, how-to-manual, and multimedia workshop. Now presented in Neal-Schuman's newly revised How-To-Do-It series layout, Winning Grants gives you MacKellar's and Gerding's combined decades of successful grant-getting techniques in an accessible design so you can master these complex processes more easily. The authors' expertise is unique as they have been on all sides of the grant process as grant writers, reviewers, project coordinators, consultants, and trainers. They have maintained the popular Library Grants Blog for over five years, helping librarians find grant opportunities easily and at no cost. This multimedia package features three sections. Part I, "The Grant Process Cycle," presents the full grant process cycle with MacKellar and Gerding sharing invaluable procedural advice that distinguishes proposals that receive sustained funding. Part II, "Library Grant Success Stories," showcases real-life success stories that demonstrate the process in practice and provide motivational tips from successful library staff. Part III, "The Winning Grants Multimedia Toolkit and DVD," includes time-saving tools, such as reusable checklists, worksheets, and templates. All of these tools are both in the book and reproduced as Microsoft Word documents on the multimedia DVD so you can make these templates your own and share them with colleagues. The DVD includes the entire text of successful grant proposals plus ten instructional videos to walk you through each step of the grant process cycle.

Portland, OR - May 22, 2012! Message-ID: <0EBF8018C232B34681C837CF3DC83448F6AA29@fs2.CCAHA2.local> ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT: STEWARDSHIP & SUSTAINABILITY Presented by the Conservation Center for Art & Historic Artifacts Portland, OR - May 22, 2012 Cosponsored and hosted by Portland Art Museum ABOUT THE PROGRAM Creating stable environmental conditions is the most significant step an institution can take for the long-term preservation of the collections materials under its stewardship. While most preservation actions affect single items or groups of items, environmental conditions affect entire collections. Though providing stable environmental conditions is a goal for most archives, museums, and libraries, in actuality it can be very difficult to achieve ideal specifications. In addition to economic limitations faced by many institutions, collections are often housed in historic structures, in buildings with aging systems, or in structures whose designs make environmental management difficult. This one day program will explore new approaches to controlling environmental conditions in cultural institutions. Leading experts in the field will present physically and financially feasible environmental control strategies to help institutions preserve collections materials for the long-term. Topics covered will include: * The Collections Environment * Understanding the Building/Climate Relationship * New Approaches and Best Practices for Environmental Control * Environmental Monitoring and Data Analysis This program is intended for staff of cultural heritage organizations responsible for monitoring and managing environmental conditions for collections, including registrars, facilities managers, archivists, librarians, curators, collections managers, and stewards of historic house museums.

SLIS instructors Meredith Farkas, Dr. Michelle Holschuh Simmons, and Ellen Greenblatt received this national award, which recognizes their accomplishments as online educators. Meredith Farkas teaches courses in Web 2.0 participatory technologies. Students in her courses not only learn about Web 2.0 technologies, but use them to interact with classmates throughout the semester. Learning activities incorporate blogs, wikis, screencasts, social bookmarking, and other participatory technology. "It's wonderful seeing my students continue to connect with one another (and the topics from class) via Twitter, blogs and other Web 2.0 technologies once the class is over," said Farkas. Dr. Michelle Holschuh Simmons uses a wide range of online learning tools to create a lively, interactive learning experience for students in her Information Literacy and Reference and Information Services courses. "I find that teaching in an online environment is incredibly rewarding," said Simmons, "but it requires significant efforts to establish and foster a learning community." Students praise her enthusiasm, accessibility, and dedication. "She creates a dynamic online space where all students feel comfortable contributing," said one of her students. Ellen Greenblatt teaches courses in Library Resources and Information Services, where students explore methods of enhancing services and evaluating resources for traditionally underserved groups of library users. "Communication and collaboration are core components of my teaching style, and I strive for both active and authentic learning experiences," said Greenblatt. A student in one of her recent courses is grateful for Greenblatt's emphasis on challenging students to "consider the many facets of librarianship." All three instructors teach in the ALA-accredited Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) program at the San Jose State University School of Library and Information Science. Awards were announced by WISE at the Association for Library and Information Science Education (ALISE) 2012 conference in Dallas, Texas. As a member of the WISE consortium, SLIS students can take online courses from LIS graduate schools in the United States and Canada. The School's faculty can also take advantage of the online pedagogy resources offered by WISE, helping them excel as online educators. For more information about the School's collaboration with WISE, please visit http://slisweb.sjsu.edu/classes/wise/ 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.

The libraries have shared an integrated library system (SirsiDynix Symphony) and catalog. This year, the libraries in the consortium are going in separate directions and will have two separate ILS and catalogs. Since none of the libraries are very large and depend on the goodwill of voters for their funding all the libraries involved have stated that they want to continue to share resources. I need to find out if there are existing softwares that will allow holds to be placed across two or more library catalogs. Optimally, this should allow the library patrons to place their own online holds easily and should not require staff to actually place the holds. We've talked with OCLC staff about WorldCat Local and it sounds good, but does not answer the question of whether the holds can be placed automatically. I would much appreciate any suggestions you might offer. Thanks very much for your help. Sincerely-- Jane Jane Cothron Cataloger Coastal Resources Sharing Network Lincoln County Library District P.O.

However, a solution like this may or may not be feasible for you. One problem you will encounter is that aside from placing holds in the separate ILSes (will they both be SirsiDynix after the split?), you still have to resolve a number of workflow issues. For example, your system needs to know where to route requests -- patrons from library X shouldn't be placing holds in library Y if the request can be satisfied in X. Once they place the hold, the need to do so as a real patron in Y, but presumably library Y won't be coordinating patron loads with X. You'll encounter other issues such as creating a circulatable item in X once the piece arrives from Y (so the patron can be alerted that it can be picked up, be sent overdue notices, and the like), dealing with billing, and the like. In short, you probably need the ability to manage requests and placing holds is only one aspect of that. Actually placing the hold is pretty easy, particularly since SirsiDynix supports NCIP (a protocol specifically designed to facilitate such transactions). However, achieving seamless patron requesting and a reasonable staff experience is more difficult. kyle > > -- ---------------------------------------------------------- Kyle Banerjee Digital Services Program Manager Orbis Cascade Alliance banerjek at uoregon.edu / 503.999.9787 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The President?s proposal for the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) demonstrates the administration?s recognition that libraries are part of the solution for our economic recovery. LSTA helps job-seekers as well as employers and funding it is important for communities throughout the states. With a robustly funded library to serve its community, many job seekers will have the means to find and apply for jobs through Internet access at their local library, as well as access to information literacy skills training necessary for work in the 21st century.? The president?s budget requested $184.7 million for LSTA to be administered by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). This request is equal to the current funding level. These funds make access to online resources possible for job assistance, small businesses, homework help, summer reading programs, lifelong learning, and digital literacy for everyone. http://networkedblogs.com/tV1DQ -- *Diedre Conkling** Lincoln County Library District P.O.

Pro-open access legislation introduced in House and Senate Posted on February 10, 2012 by Corey Williams Yesterday members in both the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives introduced identical bills with bipartisan support aimed at improving access to federally funded research. In the House, the Federal Research Public Access Act of 2012 (or FRPAA) (H.R. 4004) was introduced in the morning by Rep. Doyle (D-PA) and co-sponsored by Reps. Yoder (R-KS) and Clay (D-MO), and referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. In the Senate, a bill by the same name (S. 2096 ) was introduced late in the day by Sens. Cornyn (R-TX) and co-sponsored by Senators Wyden (D-OR) and Hutchison (R-TX), and then referred to the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs. If passed, the Federal Research Public Access Act of 2012 would: - Require federal departments and agencies with an annual extramural research budget of $100 million to develop a policy to ensure researchers submit an electronic copy of the final manuscript accepted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal. - Ensure that the manuscript is preserved in a stable digital repository maintained by that agency or in another suitable repository that permits free public access, interoperability, and long-term preservation. - Require that each taxpayer-funded manuscript be made available to the public online and without cost, no later than six months after the article has been published in a peer-reviewed journal. Sound familiar? It should ? these bills are essentially identical to FRPAA legislation introduced in previous Congressesdating back to 2006. The ALA has a history of strong support for this type of legislation ? as they build on the success of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Public Access Policy implemented in 2008. If you recall, the NIH Public Access Policy ensures that the public have access to the published results of NIH funded research no later than 12 months after publication. FRPAA legislation would be a big step in the right direction by expanding the amount of research made available* and* providing access to it to no later than 6 months after publication. Rep. Doyle sums up the intent of the legislation by stating in his press release , Americans have the right to see the results of research funded with taxpayer dollars?.Yet such research too often gets locked away behind a pay-wall, forcing those who want to learn from it to pay expensive subscription fees for access. Bottom line ? our patrons, the American public, should not have to fund federal research with their tax dollars and then have to pay for it *again*to access it. The ALA has been a long-time, ardent supporter of increasing access to information of all types, including federally funded research. Thus, the ALA is a strong supporter of FRPAA legislation and will advocate for passage of these bills. But wait, there?s more! FRPAA is also the perfect antidote to the bitter * anti-*open access ?pill? being pushed by Rep. Issa in the House with his Research Works Act bill (H.R. 3699). Rep. Issa?s bill, if passed, would nullify the NIH Public Access policy and prevent any such similar policies from being implemented. Let?s shift the conversation and focus our energy on legislation that *improves *access to the public (i.e. taxpayers). Today?s (re)introduction of FRPAA legislation is a positive and welcome addition to improving access to federally funded research.

Chicago, IL: American Library Association. Intellectual freedom is a core value of librarianship, but fighting to keep controversial materials on the shelves can sometimes feel like a lonely battle. And not all censorship controversies involve the public objecting to a book in the collection-libraries are venues for displays and meetings, and sometimes library staff themselves are tempted to preemptively censor a work. Those facing censorship challenges can find support and inspiration in this book, which compiles dozens of stories from library front lines. Edifying and enlightening, this collection * Tells the stories of librarians who withstood difficult circumstances to champion intellectual freedom * Touches on prickly issues such as age-appropriateness, some librarians' temptation to preemptively censor, sensitive cultural expressions, and criminality in the library * Presents case studies of defenses that were unsuccessful, so librarians facing similar challenges can learn from these defeats There are fewer situations more stressful in a librarian's professional life than being personally confronted with a demand to remove a book from the shelves or not knowing how to respond to other kinds of censorship challenges. Reading this book will help fortify and inform those in the fray.

Chicago: ALA, 2012. 025.1974 Jerra ISBN 978-0-8389-1154-9 This timely special report from ALA Editions provides a succinct but comprehensive overview of the "privatization" of public libraries. It provides a history of the trend of local and state governments privatizing public services and assets, and then examines the history of public library privatization right up to the California legislation introduced earlier this year to restrict cities in the state from privatizing library services. The book also examines what happens when a private, for-profit organization takes over essential management tasks and decisions of a public library, including the effects this can have on services, patron satisfaction and staff, as well as legal issues. It provides in-depth recommendations for librarians who want to retain control of their own institutions. Complete with case studies, statistics, and a valuable checklist of to-dos for libraries that are facing partial or complete privatization.

This training is for librarians who plan to take shifts staffing L-net's chat, e-mail, and texting service. Librarians will receive hands-on training with L-net?s software and instruction on techniques for communicating effectively online with patrons and providing reference service online. There are two ways to staff L-net: 1 - Partner libraries: Reference staff at Oregon libraries may staff the service as partner libraries. Librarians who do so staff the service at their libraries. 2 - Volunteers: If you?ve completed a Reference class in the past 10 years from an ALA-accredited college or university or if you have experience providing reference services in a library, you may apply to be a volunteer. Volunteers typically staff the service from home computers. If you would like to participate in the volunteer program, contact me for information about how to apply to be a volunteer. The training is free, but space is limited and advance registration is required. If you would like to attend, contact me and let me know if you would like to staff L-net at a partner library or as a volunteer. Registration for this training will close on Thursday, March 29. Emily Papagni, emilyp at multco.us If you?re interested in the training, but unable to attend on either of these dates, please contact me. I'm continuing to schedule additional trainings around the state. Also, all Oregon libraries are welcome to use L-net software to serve their local communities. Staffing our statewide service is not required. To provide chat, texting, or email service to your community, please contact me for information and to schedule your training.

URL: From robinpaynter at gmail.com Mon Feb 27 14:08:58 2012 From: robinpaynter at gmail.com (Robin Paynter) Date: Mon, 27 Feb 2012 14:08:58 -0800 Subject: [Libs-Or] ACRL Oregon Sponsored Programs @ 2012 OLA Annual Conference Message-ID: *THURSDAY APRIL 26TH* *Session I 11:00-12:30 pm ? ?Show Me the Money! Grantwriting Perspectives for Librarians?* Presenters: *Karen Estlund* (Head, Digital Library Services, UO) and *John Russell *(Librarian for History, African Studies and Medieval Studies, UO) Description: Join University of Oregon librarians Karen Estlund (Head, Digital Library Services) and John Russell (Librarian for History, African Studies, and Medieval Studies and Oregon?s LSTA Grant Review Committee) as they discuss why obtaining grants for doing research or other special projects in library environments can be beneficial to your organization as well as an overview of the process of grant-writing, challenges, and do?s and don?ts. *Session II 2:00-3:00 pm ? ?Can We Really Do it All? The Challenges We Face as Librarians Who Teach?* Presenters: *Anne-Marie Deitering* (Franklin McEdward Professor for Undergraduate Learning Initiatives, OSU) and *Kate Gronemyer *(Instruction Librarian, OSU-Cascades) Description: In 2009 and 2010 OSU librarians gathered dozens of stories from librarians who teach. In this presentation we will hear some of these stories, discuss what they mean for our practice, and see if there is wisdom to be gained from people who might not call themselves teachers. *Session III 4:00-5:30 pm ? ?From Data Chaos to Data Curation: New Roles for Academic Librarians?* Presenters: *Carla Pealer* (Data curation librarian ? OHSU), *Thomas Johnson * (Digital Applications Librarian, OSU), *Brian Westra* (Lorry I. Lokey Science Data Services Librarian, UO) Description: Data curation is a relatively new area for academic librarians, and can seem complex and confusing. But isn?t that what we do best: bring order to chaos? Data curation rests on well-established practices of our profession: collection development, the reference interview, and cataloging/metadata. This session will provide an overview of this increasingly important topic, offer practical advice, and a give you a chance to flex your own data curation muscles. Data librarians at U of O, OSU, and OHSU will share their experiences and visions for their libraries. *FRIDAY APRIL 27TH* *Session IV 8:30-10:00 am ? ?Libraries and the Semantic Web?* Presenters: *Carlo Torniai*, Ph.D (Ontologist and Research Scientist, OHSU) Description: What do all those acronyms (RDF, OWL, SWRL) and terms (Linked Open Data, triples, ontology) mean anyway? And why should we care? The Semantic Web already is affecting how we discover and share resources, and will continue to shape how we manage and access content and knowledge. Join Carlo Torniai on a madcap journey as he wrastles with the wild, world wide web and shows us how the Semantic Web is changing how we provide our users the resources they need. There will be plenty of time for questions and answers in this informal seminar-style session. *Session V 11:00 am ? 12:30 pm ? ?Oh, the Choices We?ll Make! Reading in the Digital World?* Presenters: *Uta Hussong*, Christian (Instruction Librarian, OSU) and *Jane Nichols* (Collection Development librarian, OSU) Description: Preliminary findings from a current study of e-reader adoption among OSU librarians show that reading has changed, but not in expected ways. We will situate our presentation in the broader issues and questions about changing reading practices and literacies and how they influence adoption of reading devices. We will encourage audience feedback about their own e-reading habits as we consider whether technology shapes reading or if reading drives our choice of technology. *Session VI 2:00-4:00 pm ? ?Libraries and Humanism: A Book Discussion?* Presenters: *Kimberly Willson-St. Clair* (Reference & Instruction Librarian, PSU) and *Emily Ford* (Interim Urban & Public Affairs Librarian, PSU) Description: All conference attendees are invited to read and engage in a discussion of Andre Cossette?s book Humanism and Libraries: An Essay on the Philosophy of Librarianship (79 pages). ?The value of libraries only becomes a reality for each human being in that self-determination that has no other name than liberty?.? will spark provocative ideas. Topic list for discussion will be distributed at the session. Bring your book! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

And many educators are now becoming more skilled at using technology in their classrooms, whether it's laptops, digital whiteboards, or smartphones. But experts say that to get the best results for students, it's important to be deliberate and thoughtful in the way technology is incorporated into curricula. Just layering technology on top of an already existing curriculum is often not the best way to enhance the learning process and maximize the effectiveness of the technology tools available. School and district technology leaders and curriculum experts must work together to find the best way to integrate technology into teaching and learning in order to develop the most innovative and successful methods for delivering curricula to students.

(Montana State Library) With libraries providing more computing access to patrons, it is important to know how to use and be able to share the free tools that are available on the Internet. Google offers Google Docs, which is their on-line form of documents, spreadsheets, presentations, forms, drawings, and tables. Google Docs allows you to store many different types of files and only those not created in Google Docs count against your storage space. Any time you have access to the Internet you have access to Google Docs. The user has the option to keep the documents private to his account or to share them. Each document and each folder can be shared with specific people or it can be made public for anyone to view. This makes it easy for people to collaborate on a project as well as share information.

Getting Results Through Psychology (American Management Association) If you've been doing the same thing and not getting anywhere, listen to this webcast for new techniques that tap into the human psyche.

They really know what they're doing, and we can, too! Consumer research has shown repeatedly that understanding user needs and cultivating good customer relationships is key to the success of the modern organization. Creating a customer-focused library enables staff to know their users and meet their needs. A customer-focused library means more users, engaged staff, and a satisfying relationship with your community. This one-hour webinar will present exciting success stories of customer-focused libraries, and will give participants strategies to shift their own libraries to a customer focus. This webinar will be of interest to staff in all types of libraries, especially front-desk staff.

But there's so much confusion over what they mean, and what they mean to those of us in the business. A few truths: * Social learning isn't new. * Social learning isn't necessarily 'managed', 'launched', 'controlled', or 'measured'. * People in the workplace are learning all the time - without us. * Those people likely don't think of what they're doing as "learning". In this session we'll spend some time looking at real examples of social and informal learning as it happens in workplaces all the time, every day. Along the way we'll generate some ideas for locating, supporting and facilitating social learning opportunities toward the greater goal of enhancing organizational performance.

Instead of just merely collecting "stuff" and lending it out to patrons, more and more libraries are encouraging their patrons to "make something" at the library. Whether it be the hackerspace at the Fayetteville Free Library, the YOUMedia lab at the Chicago Public Library, libraries are offering more programs to encourage their patrons to be prosumers instead of just simply consumers. In this webinar, Justin Hoenke (Teen Librarian, Portland (Maine) Public Library) will discuss the current trend of content creation at libraries.

We've lost that sense of community over the years because the age of the internet has siloed us. With the social networking in full force, that is changing. Social, location, and mobile technologies are creating a meaningful foundation to connect a neighborhood both on and offline. Technology has finally caught up to human behavior, and we are able to use the internet to get off the internet and build a strong community together. In this webcast presentation Leah Busque will highlight how these technology trends are paving the way for new marketplace businesses and why they are so important to the success of these models.
