(To the State Librarian Emeritus) Contacts at the State Library Library Board News Oregon State Library Reopens Recruitment for State Librarian [Librarian Sign]At their December 9th Board meeting, the State Library Board of Trustees voted to reopen the State Librarian recruitment, after receiving notice that the candidate had declined the position offer. With Jim Scheppke's December 31st retirement plans, the Board also appointed MaryKay Dahlgreen, Library Development Services Program Manager as the Interim State Librarian effective January 1st. Applications for the State Librarian position OSL11-0002A will be accepted until January 31, 2012. The Board will be using the previous recruitment process, materials, and screening panel members, except that Jey Wann, Oregon Documents Coordinator, will replace Arlene Weible, as the staff representative. Weible was recently appointed Acting Program Manager of Government Research Services. The other members of the screening panel are Sam Hall, Board Chair; Sue Burkholder and Aletha Bonebrake from the State Library Board; Oregon Library Association member Janet Webster; Government Research Services Advisory Council member Perrin Damon; and Talking Book and Braille Services Advisory Council member Marcia Mee. The facilitators for the screening panel process are Twyla Lawson, DAS Executive Recruiter, and Diane Ballard, State Library Human Resources Manager. The screening panel members are charged with assisting the Board with the first round interview process. First and final round interviews are expected to be held in February. The next regular State Library Board meeting will be on February 24, 2012. State Library Board Appoints Interim State Librarian At their December 9th meeting at the Oregon State Library, the State Library Board appointed MaryKay Dahlgreen as Interim State Librarian. MaryKay has been the Program Manager for Library Development Services since 2005. Jim Scheppke also announced his appointment of Arlene Wieble as Acting Program Manager for Government Research Services. The Board approved a Ready to Read Grant to the Silver Falls Library District based on an appeal of a staff decision to deny them a grant this year. The Board also elected new members to the LSTA and Talking Book and Braille Services Advisory Councils. The next Board meeting is scheduled for February 24th at the State Library in Salem. Board Elects New Councilors The Oregon State Library Board of Trustees elected four new members to the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) Advisory Council and one new member to the Talking Book and Braille Services (TBABS) Advisory Council at their December 9th meeting. The new members of the LSTA Advisory Council are Susan Lindauer of Portland, Wyma Rogers of Newport, Linda Weight at the Siuslaw Public Library District in Florence, and Carol Dinges at Lebanon High School. Christie Joachim of Salem was elected Senior Citizen Patron At Large representative to the TBABS Advisory Council. Planning Begins for the 2013-15 Biennium The State Library Board's planning process for the 2013-15 biennium will begin on January 13, 2012. The Board Budget Committee will hear reports from staff on their work in the current biennium. The Library's mission and long range goals will be revisited and strategies will be brainstormed for accomplishing long range goals in 2013-15. The Board Budget Committee will be chaired by Board Chair Sam Hall. Board members Sue Burkholder and Aletha Bonebrake will serve on the Committee along with library managers and a representative from each library team. The first meeting of the Board Budget Committee will be held at the State Library in Salem on January 13, 2012. Return to top of page State Library News Oregon Poetry Collection Reaches Milestone [Poetry Poster]Since its grand opening in April 2008, the Oregon Poetry Collection (OPC) has been steadily growing in numbers, mostly through donations and a grant solicited by the Oregon Poetry Association, which partnered with the Oregon State Library to establish the Collection. In November, the Government Research Services team cataloged the 1500th title into the OPC, which has grown by nearly 400 titles since its inception. Housed in the Oregon Poet Laureate's Reading Room, the OPC is comprised of books of poetry by authors who were born, lived, worked or educated in Oregon. Many of the books can be checked out in person at the State Library by Oregon residents or requested through interlibrary loan. For more information please visit http://www.oregon.gov/OSL/LD/youthsvcs/oregon.poetry.collection.shtml. Plan a Staff Development Day Talking Book and Braille Services staff is ready and willing to present a brief program to your staff to bring them up-to-date on the services available to your patrons who are unable to use standard print materials due to a visual or physical disability. Our books are now available in digital format with many of our patrons downloading directly from the Internet. Learn how to enhance the already stellar service that you provide for your patrons.

If your library does not promote OSLIS with patrons, feel free to disregard this email. As of about mid-November, OSLIS was set up to redirect to OSLIS Lite if the original OSLIS went down. (See the email below for a refresher.) Unfortunately, the failover feature did not consistently work, and lately when OSLIS was down, some users were not automatically redirected to OSLIS Lite. That is unacceptable, so today we asked the vendor to take down OSLIS and point all OSLIS URLs to OSLIS Lite. You?ll recall that OSLIS Lite is a separate webpage with links to the Gale databases, LearningExpress Library, and the three versions of Citation Maker. (See the attached PDF for a screenshot of what it looks like.) When you click on Gale PowerSearch, you will get a menu of all of the Gale databases available via the statewide contract. What OSLIS Lite does not offer is differentiated content (different versions for elementary and secondary students and educators), the information literacy lessons (Learn to Research section of OSLIS), the worksheets for Citation Maker, the OSLIST archive, and the My Stuff folder. Why not? Because all of those features or sections are tied to the code in OSLIS that is having problems. Speaking of OSLIS code, two separate vendors have examined it and cannot identify what is causing the site to have sporadic downtime. Therefore, we have decided to rebuild OSLIS from scratch. That process will minimally take through April and possibly through the rest of this school year. In the meantime, OSLIS Lite will remain available, and you should be directed to it regardless of which OSLIS URL/s you have bookmarked. Naturally, I will let you know when we are ready to go live with the rebuilt OSLIS. (Our goal is not to redesign OSLIS; it is simply to build a stable version of the site.) OSLIS Lite is a basic HTML page and is very stable. However, should you experience any access problems, please report them. Include the date and time that the problem occurred , the text of any error messages, screenshots if possible, and anything else that you think would help us identify or replicate the problem. If you have questions, please ask.

Research to learn.? From: libs-or-bounces at listsmart.osl.state.or.us [mailto:libs-or-bounces at listsmart.osl.state.or.us] On Behalf Of Jennifer Maurer Sent: Wednesday, November 16, 2011 9:45 AM To: libs-or List Subject: [Libs-Or] OSLIS Update If your library does not promote OSLIS with patrons, feel free to disregard this email. (OSLIS is an information literacy website, www.oslis.org, and the portal for K12 Oregon students and educators to access the statewide subscription databases.) As you may know, the Technology Development Consultant at the State Library and I created OSLIS Lite because there are problems with the original OSLIS that causes it to randomly lock up or not be accessible. The vendor we recently contracted with made several updates to the original OSLIS and then tested the updates using an artificial load. In other words, they created a situation that replicates OSLIS being accessed by multiple simultaneous users. With that testing, they cannot get OSLIS to fail. That means we need to put the original OSLIS back up to see if the issues have truly been resolved. In order to minimize downtime, the vendor proposed that they put OSLIS Lite on a second server that will automatically become active should the original OSLIS site have problems. The vendor has also configured the system to provide additional logging to gather system information for them to analyze should the original OSLIS site have problems. I understand that the solution is not ideal because potentially you could be teaching one version of OSLIS and then get the other. However, we don?t have a lot of choices. Someone suggested that we keep OSLIS Lite up until summer and then do any repair work and testing. That?s not ideal for at least two reasons. One, what if the original OSLIS is truly fixed? If it is, we want it back up as soon as possible. Two, what if OSLIS isn?t fixed and the work to fix it takes longer than two and a half months? Then we run out of summer and are in the same boat we are in now. So, we have opted to allow the vendor to reactivate the original OSLIS and to direct traffic to OSLIS Lite if the original OSLIS has problems. This is scheduled to happen late in the evening this Friday, November 18th. If you encounter any problems with the original OSLIS (when it?s back up) or OSLIS Lite, please let me know. The more specific you can be, the better. Thanks again for your patience.

I hope you all had a restful and happy holiday season. As most of you know, the Oregon Association of School Libraries (OASL) voted overwhelmingly to approve a merger with OLA at their annual meeting. The next step will be for OLA members to vote on the merger at our business meeting at the 2012 Conference in April. Your OLA Board wants to be sure that we present all the information that members may need before the vote. To learn more about the merger, visit [http://data.memberclicks.com/site/ola/OASL-OLA_Merger_Proposal_12_14_10.pdf] http://data.memberclicks.com/site/ola/OASL-OLA_Merger_Proposal_12_14_10.pdf . Questions about the merger can be sent to Bob Schroeder at schroedr at pdx.edu. The next OLA Board meeting is on February 3 in Tigard. We'll be considering the questions and responses at that meeting so we can prepare for the vote. Just as a reminder, the conference is April 25 - 27 at the Riverhouse Convention Center in Bend. More information and registration details coming soon! http://www.olaweb.org/mc/page.do?sitePageId=129361 Thank you, Robert Hulshof-Schmidt President Oregon Library Association rbhs.ola at hulshof-schmidt.net -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Vendors including Ebsco, Gale, OCLC, and others are increasingly developing for the mobile market. We are in a period of transition; some libraries already provide extensive mobile services, while others are deciding where to begin. Many librarians are developing mobile literacy skills to better serve users. As part of our effort to better understand the current state of mobile technologies in libraries, we are surveying public, academic, and other libraries in Oregon, Washington and Idaho. Thank you for filling out our short survey at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/HHNSQ6Q, which should take about 5-10 minutes. Results will be presented at the Online Northwest Conference, February 10, 2012, and subsequently online. Please contact us if you have questions about our study. Thanks!

Steph?s transcript is online at http://www.oregonlibraries.net/notable This transcript begins as a simple telephone directory lookup; it is the kind of ready reference question that people supposedly don't ask libraries anymore, because, "everything is on the internet". An out-of-state patron asks for the phone number of a Sherwood resident. Steph quickly finds the phone number and confirms that it is the correct number using a second, authoritative source. What really impressed the Quality Team is the nature of the conversation that took place. The patron told Steph that he was trying to reach the son of a Vietnam War Prisoner-of-War. The patron had the father's POW bracelet and wanted to be sure a family member received it. While still chatting online with Steph, the patron called the number. In tears, he spoke with a family member while Steph remained online in support. In the early 1970s over 5 million POW/MIA metal bracelets were made and worn as a symbol of hope. The bracelets transcended politics and were worn by Americans both opposed to and supportive of the Vietnam War. The Quality Team always emphasizes the importance of a friendly, welcoming tone in virtual reference. It was the conversation between Steph and the patron that made what could have just been just another lookup into a meaningful connection with the library. Librarians often talk about how libraries change lives. With Steph's blend of reference skill and compassion, she proves it. As an expression of our appreciation, Steph was presented with flowers and a certificate. Please join us in congratulating her!

Technology and Literacy: 21st Century Library Programming for Children & Teens. Chicago: ALA, 2012. 027.625 Nelso ISBN 978-0-8389-1108-2 Technology may not be a magic wand, but innovative technology programming can genuinely help children become adept at navigating our increasingly wired world while also helping them develop deductive reasoning, math, and other vital literacy skills. One of the simplest and most powerful tools for technology-based public library programming is called Scratch. It s a free, easy-to-use programming language that can be used to create everything from 3-D animation and graphics to music-enhanced presentations and games. This book * Explains how to use Scratch, and how it has already been used in libraries around the country to create technology workshops for youth * Guides readers through workshop planning, focusing on targeting youth ranging from teens to younger elementary students * Presents advocacy tools so that organizers can make the case to their institution s managers, administrators, and other stakeholders * Provides reliable and field-tested techniques for time management, locating and training volunteers (teen and adult), and identifying and working with community partners * Includes workshop templates as well as sample participant evaluation checklists Storytimes for the digital age, technology-based workshops are important opportunities for supplementing and complementing education for all youth; this book fosters a different kind of thinking about what literacy in the 21st century really entails.

Steph?s transcript is online at http://www.oregonlibraries.net/notable This transcript begins as a simple telephone directory lookup; it is the kind of ready reference question that people supposedly don't ask libraries anymore, because, "everything is on the internet". An out-of-state patron asks for the phone number of a Sherwood resident. Steph quickly finds the phone number and confirms that it is the correct number using a second, authoritative source. What really impressed the Quality Team is the nature of the conversation that took place. The patron told Steph that he was trying to reach the son of a Vietnam War Prisoner-of-War. The patron had the father's POW bracelet and wanted to be sure a family member received it. While still chatting online with Steph, the patron called the number. In tears, he spoke with a family member while Steph remained online in support. In the early 1970s over 5 million POW/MIA metal bracelets were made and worn as a symbol of hope. The bracelets transcended politics and were worn by Americans both opposed to and supportive of the Vietnam War. The Quality Team always emphasizes the importance of a friendly, welcoming tone in virtual reference. It was the conversation between Steph and the patron that made what could have just been just another lookup into a meaningful connection with the library. Librarians often talk about how libraries change lives. With Steph's blend of reference skill and compassion, she proves it. As an expression of our appreciation, Steph was presented with flowers and a certificate. Please join us in congratulating her!

The Libri Foundation is a nationwide non-profit organization which donates new, quality, hardcover children's books to small, rural public libraries throughout the United States. Since October 1990, the Foundation has donated over $5,000,000 worth of new children's books to more than 3,000 libraries in all 50 states. In order to encourage and reward local support of libraries, The Libri Foundation will match any amount of money raised by your local sponsors from $50 to $350 on a 2-to-1 ratio. Thus, a library can receive up to $1,050 worth of new children's books. After a library receives a grant, local sponsors (such as formal or informal Friends groups, civic or social organizations, local businesses, etc.) have four months, or longer if necessary, to raise their matching funds. The librarian of each participating library selects the books her library will receive from a booklist provided by the Foundation. The 700-plus fiction and nonfiction titles on the booklist reflect the very best of children's literature published primarily in the last three years. These titles, which are for children ages 12 and under, are award-winners or have received starred reviews in library, literary, or education journals. The booklist also includes a selection of classic children's titles. Libraries are qualified on an individual basis. In general, county libraries should serve a population under 16,000 and town libraries should serve a population under 10,000 (usually under 5,000). Libraries should be in a rural area, have a limited operating budget, and an active children's department. Please note: Rural is usually considered to be at least 30 miles from a city with a population over 40,000. Town libraries with total operating budgets over $150,000 and county libraries with total operating budgets over $350,000 are rarely given grants. Applications are accepted from independent libraries as well as libraries which are part of a county, regional, or cooperative library system. A school library may apply only if it also serves as the public library (i.e. it is open to the everyone in the community, has some summer hours, and there is no public library in town). A branch library may apply if the community it is in meets the definition of rural. If the branch library receives its funding from its parent institution, then the parent institution's total operating budget, not just the branch library's total operating budget, must meet the budget guidelines. A library that received a BOOKS FOR CHILDREN grant in 2009 or earlier is eligible to apply if it fulfilled all the grant requirements, including sending in its final report. Application deadlines for 2012 are: (postmarked by) January 23rd, and May 15th. Grants will be awarded January 31st and May 31st. The names of grant recipients will be posted on the Foundation's website a few days after grants are awarded. Acceptance packets are usually mailed 14-18 days after grants are awarded. If you want your books in time for your summer reading program, please apply for a January grant. May grant recipients may not receive their books until after most summer reading programs are over. Please DO NOT waste money sending your application by Express Mail. The application deadline is based on postmark date, not arrival date. Application guidelines and forms may be downloaded from the Foundation's website at: www.librifoundation.org. For more information about The Libri Foundation or its Books for Children program, please contact Ms. Barbara J. McKillip, President, The Libri Foundation, PO Box 10246, Eugene, OR 97440. 541-747-9655 (phone); 541-747-4348 (fax); libri at librifoundation.org (email).

I hope that you all had a lovely end to 2011, and that 2012 is off to a great start! I wanted to send off a message to the group, informing you all that there will be no luncheon for the month of January (I know that many of us are just getting back from holidays, and we haven't had any volunteers for hosting this month). But, February approaches, and I hope to see many of you for our next lunch! Please contact me if you would like to host a great bunch of brown-bag toting librarians. We had a great year, and our group was hosted at some wonderful libraries! On a personal note, I have had a wonderful time facilitating, and being the gal behind the emails, which has given me the opportunity to meet many of you amazing professionals in Portland. Since I took over facilitating from Sue Mecklem in April, our group was hosted by the following libraries: April: Everest College May: Multnomah County Library, Central Branch June: StreamNet July: Davis Wright Tremaine August: Sanford Brown/Le Cordon Bleu September: CH2M Hill October: University of Oregon, White Stag November: OHSU December: Holiday Luncheon at the Oregon Culinary Institute A huge 'Thank you' to our hosts, it has been so much fun to visit these diverse collections, and meet with the hosts and other guests. Again, this is a call for more volunteer hosts! If you wouldn't mind hosting (which usually involves an invasion of about 8-10 librarians at lunchtime, we'd love to see your library/archive/collection/ etc. Typically, we meet on the first Wednesday of the month, at noon, but days and times can be rearranged to accommodate hosts' busy schedules. Please feel free to contact me if you feel that you could have a group come in, or if you have any questions. Thanks again, everyone! Best wishes for a great new year, Elsa Elsa Loftis, M.L.I.S.

The latest newcomer is the *Online Protection and Enforcement of Digital Trade Act* or OPEN Act (S. 2029). Introduced on December 17, 2011 by Sen. Wyden (D-OR), along with Senators Moran (R-KS) and Cantwell (D-WA), the OPEN Act is being heralded as a more palatable alternative to existing anti-piracy bills ? *The **Preventing Real Online Threats to Economic Creativity and Theft of Intellectual Property Act of 2011* or PIPA (S. 968), and *The Stop Online Piracy Act *or SOPA (H.R. 3261 ). All three bills take aim at any website beyond U.S. borders that distribute counterfeit or copyright infringing products. To capture how all three bills compare and contrast, I?ve constructed the *PIPA, SOPA and OPEN Act Quick Reference Guide*(pdf). Not meant to be comprehensive (it would be pages and pages), nor too legalese (I?m a librarian, not a lawyer ? although I did consult our legal consultant), the chart helps depict the nuanced and not-so-nuanced differences among the bills. What you?ll see (hopefully at a glance), is unlike PIPA or SOPA, the OPEN Act focuses solely on curbing online infringement by cutting off websites? payment processing and ad networks. In contrast, PIPA and SOPA go further in that they also incentivize internet companies to cut off access to websites. The tactics the latter two bills employ have a potential chilling effect on 1st Amendment free speech rights and intellectual freedom, as well as weaken cyber security, and threaten privacy. Also, the guide captures the status of the bills as of today, January 10. It is worth noting that the bills are in the midst of the legislative process ? the U.S. House Judiciary committee will resume markup of SOPA on January 17th and the U.S. Senate has scheduled a cloture vote on PIPA for January 24th. In addition, House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Rep. Issa (R-Calif.) announced a hearinghas been scheduled for January 18th on the potential impact of Domain Name Service (DNS) and search engine blocking. The ALA will continue to voice strong opposition to PIPA and SOPA, while further analysis of the OPEN Act is needed.

Vendors including Ebsco, Gale, OCLC, and others are increasingly developing for the mobile market. We are in a period of transition; some libraries already provide extensive mobile services, while others are deciding where to begin. Many librarians are developing mobile literacy skills to better serve users. As part of our effort to better understand the current state of mobile technologies in libraries, we are surveying public, academic, and other libraries in Oregon, Washington and Idaho. Thank you for filling out our short survey at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/HHNSQ6Q, which should take about 5-10 minutes.

In any case, please feel free to ask me further questions or give my name to others. 1. How much does a charging station cost? The units at Main Library are part of a federal grant; the City was allocated $2,500 per unit and covered any costs above that per unit cost. The Blink units are part of a large scale DOE grant to gauge charging behavior and other aspects related to EV's. 2. How often are they being used? I don't have hard data but can get it. We have noted a significant uptick in usage of City-owned units downtown during 2011 with the introduction of new EV's, most notably the Nissan Leaf. 3. Are there "peak times" that they're being used? It's important to note that 'fueling' with electricity is very different, since primary fueling happens at home, whereas with gasoline it happens away from home. The units there are likely to be used to top off or supplement the home charging while folks are away from home, extending their range. They also may be used by drivers visiting Hillsboro or passing by on Hwy 26, in need of extra charge. 4. Are there any safety/liability issues? There will be some getting used to chargers on sidewalks and in parking lots. The charger cord is a tripping hazard. The electricity is not a significant hazard since the units are UL listed and contain safety shut off devices. 5. Pros/cons with parking and this is not my job sort of things? There will probably be some issues that arise as more EV's are on the road. On city right of way (ROW), we have the ability to adapt the parking restrictions in EV spaces to the demand for both EV and non-EV parking. We have not seen problems along these lines. Also, the EV community are working through these types of issues by necessity on their own. 6. Are the costs paid by the user or by tax dollars? Costs for installation of the units in City ROW have been paid by public entities; additional installations by the EV Project grant (DOE) are being done in private ROW. Fueling is currently paid by taxpayer, though it is nominal, but charger owners will soon implement point of service payment so it will be on the user. 7. ...Or by a vendor (in a sort of gas station role) who pays a fee to the library? There is not fee paid to the Library or City generally. There is a benefit to the host agency, attracting EV drivers to the site/area. 8. Does it work for non-car vehicles? If a vehicle is capable of L2 (240v) charging and has a J-1772 adaptor, it will work. The City Coulomb units downtown are also capable of L1 (110) charging, which is useful for bicycles and other vehicles.

There are a few places to choose from, and it would give us an opportunity to get a little break from the building. Nearby there is Burrito Boy, New Odyssey, Viva Vegetarian Grill (a local food cart), and the local grocery next door, The Kiva, does freshly made sandwiches, has a deli, and does fresh soups each day. Finally, there's a cute little new caf? that just opened up a block away - Sine Cure Caf?.

Traci suggests the parking garage directly under the library; there's a box for you to pay by credit card or cash down there. Also, 2 blocks north of the library on West side of Charnelton there is a parking garage that's similar to the one under the library. Let me know what other info you need!

RE: From: Erin Sharwell Our Sustainability Project Manager, Peter Brandom, has answered your questions about our charging stations. J From: Peter Brandom Sent: Friday, January 13, 2012 11:54 AM To: Erin Sharwell Cc: Mike Smith Subject: RE: [Libs-Or] Public libraries as charging sites for electric vehicles Hi Erin, I've tried to answer the questions as best I can. In any case, please feel free to ask me further questions or give my name to others. 1. How much does a charging station cost? The units at Main Library are part of a federal grant; the City was allocated $2,500 per unit and covered any costs above that per unit cost. The Blink units are part of a large scale DOE grant to gauge charging behavior and other aspects related to EV's. 2. How often are they being used? I don't have hard data but can get it. We have noted a significant uptick in usage of City-owned units downtown during 2011 with the introduction of new EV's, most notably the Nissan Leaf. 3. Are there "peak times" that they're being used? It's important to note that 'fueling' with electricity is very different, since primary fueling happens at home, whereas with gasoline it happens away from home. The units there are likely to be used to top off or supplement the home charging while folks are away from home, extending their range. They also may be used by drivers visiting Hillsboro or passing by on Hwy 26, in need of extra charge. 4. Are there any safety/liability issues? There will be some getting used to chargers on sidewalks and in parking lots. The charger cord is a tripping hazard. The electricity is not a significant hazard since the units are UL listed and contain safety shut off devices. 5. Pros/cons with parking and this is not my job sort of things? There will probably be some issues that arise as more EV's are on the road. On city right of way (ROW), we have the ability to adapt the parking restrictions in EV spaces to the demand for both EV and non-EV parking. We have not seen problems along these lines. Also, the EV community are working through these types of issues by necessity on their own. 6. Are the costs paid by the user or by tax dollars? Costs for installation of the units in City ROW have been paid by public entities; additional installations by the EV Project grant (DOE) are being done in private ROW. Fueling is currently paid by taxpayer, though it is nominal, but charger owners will soon implement point of service payment so it will be on the user. 7. ... Or by a vendor (in a sort of gas station role) who pays a fee to the library? There is no fee paid to the Library or City generally. There is a benefit to the host agency, attracting EV drivers to the site/area. 8. Does it work for non-car vehicles? If a vehicle is capable of L2 (240v) charging and has a J-1772 adaptor, it will work. The City Coulomb units downtown are also capable of L1 (110) charging, which is useful for bicycles and other vehicles.

Ra?l M. Grijalva encourages library advocates before they meet with congressional lawmakers. Photo by Lauren Ann Donia On January 17, U.S. Representative Raul Grijalva(D-AZ, 7th), along with Representatives Rush Holt (D-NJ, 12th) and Lynn Woolsey (D-CA, 6th) introduced the Strengthening Kids? Interest in Learning and Libraries (SKILLS) Act. The SKILLS Act, numbered H.R. 3776 in the House, is a companion bill of S. 1328 that was introduced in the Senate by Senators Jack Reed(D-RI) and Thad Cochran (R-MS) back on July 6, 2011. Both the House and Senate version of the SKILLS Act would amend the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) to do the following: 1. Defines an ?effective school library program? to be staffed by a state-certified school librarian, have up-to-date materials including technology, teaches digital literacy skills, and finally, has regular collaboration between other education professionals over curriculum. 2. Replaces Improving Literacy Through School Libraries with Improving Literacy and College and Career Readiness Through Effective School Library Programs which would award competitive grants to underserved local schools and school districts to develop an effective school library program. 3. Allows school librarians access to professional development funds under Title II of ESEA. H.R. 3776 was referred to the House Committee on Education and the Workforce. No further action has been announced for this legislation. S. 1328 was introduced as an amendment to the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee mark-up of the ESEA reauthorization in October 2011.

Combine Promotion of an Event or Holiday with Promotion of a Database Julie Pepera, a fabulous trainer from Gale, sent a sample list of Black History Month resources available in Gale. If the attachment does not come through for you and you want a copy, let me know. The document was geared towards K12, but you could create bookmarks to specific content in any of the Gale databases. Some libraries feature a database of the month, and others feature content related to certain holidays or events. Promoting specific resources for Black History Month by tying that to content in U.S. History in Context or specific eBooks in GVRL, for example, seems like a great way to accomplish both goals.

In November 2011, a joint OITP and LITA subcommittee serving under the OITP Program on America's Libraries for the 21st Century (AL21C) issued its call for nominations for best library practices using cutting-edge technology to showcase libraries that are serving their communities with novel and innovative methods. Last year, four libraries were cited for their outstanding work. "This year's winners represent thoughtful and creative engagement with technology trends including QR codes, open-source software, social media, GIS, and mobile applications," said Christine Lind Hage, Director, Rochester Hills Public Library, who chaired the selection subcommittee. "The selection committee received nearly double the number of submissions than in previous years, so competition was very strong from around the country and all types of libraries. We are excited to recognize 'the best of the best,' and increase awareness of these innovative initiatives." About the Winners: * Snap & Go, Contra Costa County Library, California Using QR (Quick Response) codes, Snap & Go serves as an innovative delivery mechanism for traditional library services. From local transit ads to posters to newspaper ads, Contra Costa County is delivering instant access to library materials and services to cardholders with mobile phones. By scanning the code with a reader on their phones, users are directed to downloadable e-books and audiobooks, virtual museum passes, interactive reference service, account and catalog search, and readers' advisory tools. QR codes placed on popular titles take readers to "read-alike" lists created by library staff. Usage of the library's mobile site has increased 16 percent since Contra Costa implemented Snap & Go. http://guides.ccclib.org/qr * Participatory Platforms for Learning, New Canaan High School Library, Connecticut New Canaan's Participatory Platforms for Learning program strives to cultivate curiosity throughout the learning community and encourage experimentation with new tools for content creation, publication and participation. The program includes deploying the full complement of Google applications; advocating a culture of intellectual freedom; using Twitter for current events research; and using Facebook groups for students to record their research process and provide feedback to others in the group. The program enmeshes learning and the "real world" to teach students digital citizenship by encouraging them to become responsible information consumers, creators and contributors in the public domain. Their online portal is at: http://nchslibraryannex.blogspot.com/ * Map Warper Toolkit, New York Public Library, New York The Map Warper toolkit allows staff and the public to virtually stretch (or geo-rectify) historical maps onto a digital model of the world ? la Google Maps or OpenStreetMap, transforming old atlases into interactive spatial environments. Participants also can go deeper, tracing and transcribing specific map features into a growing public database. The project adds to the historical and scholarly record while engaging library patrons in building digital resources. The service is managed by the NYPL Labs group, developed in collaboration with EntropyFree, an open source geospatial software firm. The tools are in the process of being published to an open code repository for other libraries, scholars and cultural heritage workers to use and build upon. http://maps.nypl.org * Gimme Engine, Scottsdale Public Library, Arizona The Gimme Engine mobile website helps customers find a great book to read based on a library staffer's recommendation and review. Gimme combines library catalog MARC data, content enrichment service images and descriptions, and library staff book reviews on Goodreads.com to create a unique experience. Gimme, which was developed with monies received from an LSTA grant, was created to meet a need stated by both library and non-library users; they wanted book recommendations powered by library staff. The Gimme engine is a creative solution to meet these customer needs. You can use Gimme for yourself by visiting: http://gimme.scottsdalelibrary.org AL21C Associate Director Larra Clark said ALA OITP will host a program about these four services during the ALA Annual Conference in Anaheim (June 21-26) and will make detailed descriptions of each available online in order to share successful models for delivering quality library service in new ways. Additional information is available at www.ala.org/cuttingedge. About LITA Established in 1966, LITA is the leading organization reaching out across types of libraries to provide education and services for a broad membership of over 3,000 systems librarians, library administrators, library schools, vendors and many others interested in leading edge technology and applications for librarians and information providers.

I have just finished my first year as a member of the Amelia Bloomer Project, a selection list that focuses on the best books with a feminist message for children and teens. We worked hard at ALA's Midwinter meeting to create this year's list of 83 titles, which I have included below. If you'd like to track the ABP throughout the year, you can follow our blog at http://ameliabloomer.wordpress.com. We post all nominations to the blog, as well as stories of interest from our committee members. You can also learn more about the list's criteria, history, and how to submit a field nomination. The ABP is also on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/47238194018/. I'll be working on turning the list into a printable brochure which will be posted to the blog, or email me and I can send you a copy when it's ready. As the introduction to the list says, these books will certainly inform, inspire, and entertain! Amelia Bloomer Project 2012 List Introduction "One of my favorite phobias is that girls, especially those whose tastes aren't routine, often don't get a fair break... It has come down through the generations, an inheritance of age-old customs which produced the corollary that women are bred to timidity." - Amelia Earhart As we come to the end of a year emphasizing the intersection of feminism and social activism in the world around us, the defiance shown by the women featured in books on this list hold particular relevance. From a female Jesus to Victoria Donda, the youngest member of the Argentine Congress, these women and girls reflect the complexities of the female experience and the increased awareness of strong women and girls throughout history and around the world. Courageous choices include those made by women committed to insane asylums for excessive book reading, women using their bodies as art to express their rage, saving lives and standing up to institutional injustice, and trying on new identities under challenging circumstances. Women claim their voices through the confluence of revolutionary politics and artistic expression. Loud and self-possessed, they would not be silenced. Sometimes whimsical yet always substantive fictional characters and real-life heroines inspire us to consider new ideas. Even those bred to timidity refuse to accept limitations. The Amelia Bloomer Project is part of the Feminist Task Force of the American Library Association's Social Responsibility Round Table. The Amelia Bloomer Project committee members are Maureen McCoy (co-chair), Beth Olshewsky (co-chair), Jennie Law, Lalitha Nataraj, Linda Parsons, Kelly Rottmund, Angela Semifero, April Witteveen, and Joy Worland.

A comment we've heard pretty often is that so many presentations at conferences seem to be by and for librarians from larger libraries. Well, Big Talk From Small Libraries will change that. This free one-day online conference is aimed at librarians from small libraries; the smaller the better. Each of our speakers is from a small library or directly works with small libraries. Topics range from technology (new tech and old tech) to programming to partnering with your community. This eight-hour event means eight topics with nine speakers. Come for the programs on what you're dealing with now or maybe try something new. Everyone is welcome to register and attend, regardless of how big or small their library is, but if your library serves a few thousand people, or a few hundred, this is the day for you. Big Talk >From Small Libraries will be broadcast online using the GoToWebinar online meeting service. GoToWebinar login instructions will be e-mailed to registered attendees the day before the conference. Please see the NLC Online Sessions webpage for detailed information about GoToWebinar, including system requirements and firewall configuration. GoToWebinar works on PCs, Macs and iPads.

The previous petition to save American school libraries failed. Less than 4,000 signatures are still needed by Feb. 4th in order for this to proceed. Ensure that every child in America has access to an effective school library program. Every child in America deserves access to an effective school library program. We ask that the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) provide dedicated funding to help support effective school library programs. Such action will ensure more students have access to the resources and tools that constitute a 21st century learning environment. Reductions in school library programs are creating an ?access gap? between schools in wealthier communities versus those where there are high levels of poverty. All students should have an equal opportunity to acquire the skills necessary to learn, to participate, and to compete in today?s world. Please sign the petition by Feb. 4th at the link below.
