Library Board News


State Library Board of Trustees Member Retires

Richard Turner of Portland, who served two terms on the Oregon State Library Board of Trustees, attended his final meeting at the Troutdale Public Library. Richard was an enthusiastic and valuable member of the Board and will be especially remembered for his interest and skill with electronic tools that assure access to information for Oregonians with visual disabilities.

State Library Board Accepts Recommendations from Library Services and Technology Act Advisory Council

At their meeting at the Troutdale Public Library on June 15th, the State Library Board accepted the recommendations of the LSTA Advisory Council to invite 12 libraries and other organizations to submit full LSTA grant applications for consideration at their October meeting, and to fund three Extending Services to the Unserved Grants that will begin in July 2012. The Board also invited Josephine Community Libraries, Inc. to submit a full proposal, which was not recommended by the LSTA Council. The Board approved the 2013-2017 LSTA Five-Year Plan, which will be submitted to the Institute of Museum and Library Services by June 30, 2012. In other Board business, the Board approved a plan recommended by the Talking Book and Braille Services Advisory Council to spend donation funds in the next fiscal year.

Horner Exchange Program Information Coming Soon

The Horner Library Staff Exchange Project is an exchange of library staff between Fujian Province, China, and Oregon, for the purpose of sharing professional knowledge about library and information science. It was established through a generous gift by the late Dr. Layton Horner to the Oregon State Library and continues through a partnership between the State Library and the Oregon Library Association International Relations Roundtable (IRRT). Our international partners are the Fujian Provincial Library and the Fujian Library Association. Fujian is Oregon's sister province in China, and the Fujian Provincial Library maintains a sister library relationship with the Oregon State Library. In late spring of 2013, the Fujian Provincial Library will send delegates to spend three weeks in Oregon. In late October or early November, the Oregon State Library will send three delegates to China for three weeks. An email will be going out in mid-July with all the details and links to the application on the OLA Website.

Four New Library Representatives Join the Statewide Database Licensing Advisory Committee

[DatabaseLogos]The Statewide Database Licensing Advisory Committee<http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/technology/sdlp/index.aspx#Advisory_Committee___Meeting_Minutes> (SDLAC) is a working group of the LSTA Advisory Council<http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/lstacouncil.aspx>, which advises the Oregon State Library Board of Trustees<http://www.oregon.gov/osl/Pages/2bdinfo.aspx>. The primary responsibilities of the committee include advising the LSTA Council and/or the Oregon State Library in the drafting of requests for proposal, the review of proposals, the recommendation to license database(s), the potential allocation of costs to participating libraries, and on the need for and the content of changes to the OAR and ORS that have a potential effect on the Statewide Database Licensing Program<http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/technology/sdlp/index.aspx>. The committee meets minimally twice a year and more often during the proposal/procurement process. Every spring the State Library seeks nominations for upcoming vacancies on the SDLAC, and the LSTA Council votes in new members who begin their three-year terms on July 1st. Welcome to Liz Paulus from Cedar Mill Community Library, Marika Pineda from Lane Community College, Jennifer Parkhurst from Roseburg High School, and Marion Mercier from Grand Ronde Tribal Library. Thanks to outgoing members Linda Malone from Lake Oswego Public Library, Tony Greiner from Portland Community College, Stephen Cox from Salem-Keizer School District, and Chris Tanner from Coquille Indian Tribe Library.

Government Research Services Receives High Customer Satisfaction Rating

Government Research Services (GRS) provides library services to Oregon state employees including reference, access to research databases, and document delivery. GRS also builds collections and provides reference services for Oregon citizens, particularly in the areas of Oregon history, genealogy and government information. Each year, GRS conducts a customer satisfaction survey to measure the quality of its services. This year's survey was sent to a sample of state employee registered users and walk in users of OSL's Reference Room. 464 respondents completed the survey, rating GRS services on timeliness and accuracy of service, staff helpfulness and expertise, availability of information, and overall satisfaction with services. GRS staff received outstanding ratings for their helpfulness and expertise, with 98% of respondents rating them as excellent or good. Overall satisfaction was also high, with 95% of respondents providing a rating of excellent or good. These ratings are consistent with those in previous years and represent GRS staff's dedication to the provision of excellent customer service.

Newberg's Carnegie Library Celebrates Its Centennial

[Newberg]Newberg Public Library is one of 10 Carnegie library buildings in Oregon that either has or will be celebrating a centennial this decade. "A 100th birthday is definitely a good excuse for a party," said Leah Griffith, Library Director. Newberg celebrated with a week-long event including birthday-themed storytimes, a proclamation by the mayor, a performance by the award-winning Newberg High school choir, and an Oreo cookie stacking contest. (Oreos also turned 100 in 2012.) In honor of Carnegie's Scottish heritage, a bagpiper led the crowd through the original front doors of the building for the first time since that entrance was closed in 1984. The party was a huge hit and garnered front page coverage from the local paper, Newberg Graphic, which had been extremely supportive with multiple articles about the events and the history of the library. Staff is also using the occasion of the Carnegie centennial to step up fundraising efforts for the children's room remodel. They are asking the community to "Give Like Andrew Carnegie" and match the $10,000 the library philanthropist and industrialist provided for the building in 1912. They are well on their way to making that match with $10 and $20 gifts in the names of children. The library is extending the commemoration with an idea borrowed from McMinnville PL: the Carnegie Passport<http://www.newbergoregon.gov/library/visit-other-carnegie-libraries-oregon>. People are using the passports to visit other Oregon Carnegie libraries, having them stamped, and then entering in a contest that will culminate in a prize drawing in January. "It's been great fun," declared Griffith.

School Library Staffing and Spending Trends For Last Five Years and Beyond

Staff at the State Library is often asked about the changes in Oregon school libraries over the last several years. Jennifer Maurer, OSL's School Library Consultant, recently looked at data received from the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) for the QEM & School Libraries<http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/school/index.aspx#QEM_School_Library_Report> annual report from a new angle. school spending on library books and periodicals, both print and electronic, averaged $10.97 per Oregon public school student during the 2006-07 school year and $8.13 during 2010-11. That is nearly a $3 per student decline in this spending category in five years. (Note: The figures were taken from data supplied by ODE.) During the same time period, the national average price for a children's & young adult hardcover book rose from $21.60<http://www.schoollibraryjournal.com/article/CA6311760.html> to $23.85<http://www.schoollibraryjournal.com/slj/home/893523-312/fuel_for_your_fire_good.html.csp>. Also during that five-year span, the number of full time equivalent (FTE) licensed librarians serving public school students dropped from 389 to 308, and the number of students per librarian rose from 1,447 to 1,822. These figures have been tracked since the 1980-81 school year, when there were 818 FTE licensed librarians which equaled about 547 students per librarian. While many libraries are being run or supported by excellent library paraprofessionals, the ideal<http://www.ala.org/aasl/aaslissues/positionstatements/roleslp> is to match licensed staff with paraprofessionals and reasonable budgets to create strong school library programs.

OASL Committee Develops Oregon School Library Standards

[OASLStandards]About a year ago, the Oregon Association of School Libraries<http://oasl.memberclicks.net/> (OASL) received an LSTA grant<http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/grantmainalt.aspx> from the Oregon State Library to develop school library standards which reflect the needs of the 21st-century learner. An ad hoc committee of public and private school teacher-librarians from around the state researched and studied the American Association of School Librarians (AASL) guidelines, other states' library standards, and existing grade level library standards from various school districts both in and out of state. The committee identified four instructional areas necessary for a robust library instructional program: information literacy, reading engagement, social responsibility, and technology integration. An initial draft was introduced to OASL board members for review and comment the result is the Oregon School Library Standards<https://sites.google.com/site/oregonschoollibrarystandards/>. The group also created a crosswalk to demonstrate how the library standards align with AASL's Standards for the 21st-Century Learner<http://www.ala.org/aasl/guidelinesandstandards/learningstandards/standards>, Common Core State Standards<http://www.ode.state.or.us/search/page/?id=2860>, and the International Society for Technology in Education's NETS<http://www.iste.org/standards.aspx>. The next phase of the grant involves creating promotional materials and opportunities and, soliciting support from the Oregon Department of Education, Three committee representatives recently staffed an information booth at the annual Confederation of Oregon School Administrators<http://www.cosa.k12.or.us/> (COSA) conference. The message they reinforced was, "No matter the state of your library program, we are here to help you help students become information literate." If you have questions about the standards, contact Susan Stone<mailto:sstone at pps.net>, OASL President.

Share Your Library or Organization's Happenings

The Oregon State Library wants to share news in the LTLO about your library or organization's major events or activities. Please contact Jessica Rondema<mailto:jessica.rondema at state.or.us> who will put you in touch with an OSL staff member for a potential interview.

Naked Meetings II: Structuring Effective Meetings in Contentious Settings: Nonprofit Webinars
July 11, 10:00-11:00am PT
We all have to lead contentious meetings from time to time. Either the topic or participants pose a challenge to a thoughtful exchange of ideas. There seems to be little hope of arriving at decisions that all will support. The usual prescriptions for such meetings emphasize changing behavior or using some set of meeting rules. Both are difficult. There is another approach, one that relies on choosing structures that will influence the conduct of the meeting. The structural choices a leader makes, even if unseen/unrecognized by participants, can greatly improve the civility and productivity of these meetings. In this webinar I will help you see some of these structures (the naked meeting) and introduce choices you can make in planning, conducting or achieving results given a (potentially) contentious meeting.

Subject: [alacro-l] Now accepting applications for Muslim Journeys, a Bridging Cultures Bookshelf grant

The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), in collaboration with the ALA Public Programs Office, is accepting applications through September 25 for Muslim Journeys, a Bridging Cultures Bookshelf program. To apply, visit www.programminglibrarian.org/muslimjourneys<http://www.programminglibrarian.org/muslimjourneys>.
In January 2013, up to 1,000 public libraries, community college and academic libraries, and state humanities councils will be selected to receive:

 *   a collection of 25 books that highlight the pluralism of cultural forms and traditions within the Muslim World
 *   three documentary films, with public performance rights

 *   bonus resources to support programs for public audiences including thematic essays, discussion questions, podcasts, and proprietary film and Internet content
 *   materials to support program promotion, including bookmarks, posters and bookplates.
The program aims to familiarize public audiences in the United States with the people, places, history, faith and cultures of Muslims in the United States and around the world. All of the materials and resources included in the Muslim Journeys Bookshelf have been selected with the advice of scholars, librarians and cultural programming experts. For more information, including complete lists of books and films, thematic description and resources to help get your application started, visit www.programminglibrarian.org/muslimjourneys<http://www.programminglibrarian.org/muslimjourneys> or www.neh.gov/divisions/bridging-cultures<http://www.neh.gov/divisions/bridging-cultures>.

Additional support for the arts and media components was provided by the Doris Duke Foundation for Islamic Arts.

I'd be suspicious of a company in the language-learning business which thinks it's a good idea to coin a new word for their name.

Language learners are sufficiently challenged learning real words which already exist!

Howdy folks,

We're in the market for a language-learning online resource. We're checking out Mango and LiveMocha, but recently I was contacted by a company called Pronunciator, too ( http://www.pronunciator.com/). Are any of you familiar with this company? If so, do you have any experiences to relate?

Thanks for your help!

Cheers!

We're currently exploring ways to better serve our transient population here in Lincoln City. In the past we have worked out cards for individuals staying at a nearby domestic violence shelter, and we allow anyone to make use of our computers, but I would like to set up something more permanent and wide-ranging that would allow individuals without a permanent address to better access library services.

We have some ideas here on staff, but I would be very interested in hearing how other libraries have tackled this. What kinds of requirements do you have in order to obtain a card? Do cards for those without permanent address have the same borrowing privileges, or modified privileges? Have you experienced a great deal of material loss, or no? I suspect I may have to work pretty hard to get 100% buy-in from my board and from staff, so any information you've got would be great!

Kirsten:

This is an interesting question, because it's not simply "How do we serve everyone who wants service?".

Most public libraries are supported primarily through property taxes.  Therefore their primary responsibilities are:

(1)     Provide services to those who provide your funding, which would be property owners who pay taxes directly and renters who pay taxes indirectly through their property-owner landlords
(2)     Safeguard a large investment in public property (books, periodicals, videos, audio recordings, etc.) by having a way to track down and hold accountable borrowers who fail to return materials

For these reasons, most libraries require library card applicants to show proof of residence in the city, county, or district which funds the library.  In addition, there often are severe limits on first-time borrowers, who account for a high percentage of losses.

Homeless people generally cannot provide documentation to verify residency.  Likewise, some people who have resided in your service area for years choose to not have any form of ID which you may require, such as a driver's license, DMV ID card, voter registration card, utility bill, etc.  If you refuse to issue cards to one group, how can you justify serving the other (and this works in both directions)?

If you want to have more lenient standards for homeless people and/or for people who choose to have no form of ID, how can you justify stricter standards for other people?  That would be discriminatory.  But do you really want anyone who walks in the door to carry out anything they wish with no reasonable way to find them and hold them responsible for failure to bring stuff back in a timely manner?  That would be irresponsible.

I'd be interested in learning what you decide to do, and how you justify it.

I have to respectfully disagree, Bob. I think our responsibility is to not
just serve those who can pay for services, but to enrich the community at
large. Especially in times of economic crisis, the public library is one of
the few places where people should have access to the resources that will
allow them to enrich themselves. I think it is great that you are exploring
this issue, Kirsten. I don't have any suggestions for you, but I'd love to
hear what you decide.

Save your breath, Candise.

You know, this issue is of more importance than most of us think because we are employed and relatively comfortable.
BUT
often during discussions like these, I have wondered how I would survive without people to talk with and books to read if I were homeless.  I once encountered a homeless man outside Gorky's restaurant in downtown L.A. who just seemed to want to talk with the artists and intellectuals who frequented that diner.  I thought at the time, "There but for the grace of god (and my puny librarian paycheck)..."

I have to respectfully disagree, Bob. I think our responsibility is to not just serve those who can pay for services, but to enrich the community at large. Especially in times of economic crisis, the public library is one of the few places where people should have access to the resources that will allow them to enrich themselves. I think it is great that you are exploring this issue, Kirsten. I don't have any suggestions for you, but I'd love to hear what you decide.

Kirsten:

This is an interesting question, because it's not simply "How do we serve everyone who wants service?".

Most public libraries are supported primarily through property taxes.  Therefore their primary responsibilities are:

(1)     Provide services to those who provide your funding, which would be property owners who pay taxes directly and renters who pay taxes indirectly through their property-owner landlords
(2)     Safeguard a large investment in public property (books, periodicals, videos, audio recordings, etc.) by having a way to track down and hold accountable borrowers who fail to return materials

For these reasons, most libraries require library card applicants to show proof of residence in the city, county, or district which funds the library.  In addition, there often are severe limits on first-time borrowers, who account for a high percentage of losses.

Homeless people generally cannot provide documentation to verify residency.  Likewise, some people who have resided in your service area for years choose to not have any form of ID which you may require, such as a driver's license, DMV ID card, voter registration card, utility bill, etc.  If you refuse to issue cards to one group, how can you justify serving the other (and this works in both directions)?

If you want to have more lenient standards for homeless people and/or for people who choose to have no form of ID, how can you justify stricter standards for other people?  That would be discriminatory.  But do you really want anyone who walks in the door to carry out anything they wish with no reasonable way to find them and hold them responsible for failure to bring stuff back in a timely manner?  That would be irresponsible.

I'd be interested in learning what you decide to do, and how you justify it.

We're currently exploring ways to better serve our transient population here in Lincoln City. In the past we have worked out cards for individuals staying at a nearby domestic violence shelter, and we allow anyone to make use of our computers, but I would like to set up something more permanent and wide-ranging that would allow individuals without a permanent address to better access library services.

We have some ideas here on staff, but I would be very interested in hearing how other libraries have tackled this. What kinds of requirements do you have in order to obtain a card? Do cards for those without permanent address have the same borrowing privileges, or modified privileges? Have you experienced a great deal of material loss, or no?

Hi Kirsten,

Although I don't work at a library that has this kind of policy, I live 
in Eugene and our public library allows homeless residents to obtain 
cards. They verify residency through agencies that provide services to 
people who are homeless. You can read the requirements here:

http://www.eugene-or.gov/index.aspx?nid=1333

I've also seen library policies that accept car registration as proof of 
residency.

I hope this helps. Good luck to you!

Tracy

Hello,

There are some creative ways to serve and welcome all, and I think many
libraries have tried to write policies that cover many kinds of life
circumstances.

At Multnomah County, there are some pertinent sections in our circulation
manual that address these issues.  Here are a couple of excerpts:

" If a patron is unwilling or unable to meet the legal name, residential
address or photo identification requirements for security or physical
reasons, an exception may be made on an individual basis by a supervisor or
Account Management staff member."

"New patrons are required to provide a residential address and show
identification to receive a Multnomah County Library card. ...Patrons who
do not have a permanent residential address may give the address where they
are residing on that day or the address of a shelter where they can receive
mail.

There are services in Portland that will provide a mailing address, allow
the mailing address to be used to obtain identification and/or will assist
patrons with getting identification. For services outside of Portland, call
211 for other assistance options.

These organizations have mail or identification services:
 ORGANIZATION LOCATION/PHONE SERVICES  (May receive mail at location *) City
Team Ministries 526 SE GRAND AVE
 503.231.9334 Use mailing address for identification * Outside In (ages 18
to 24  only) 1132 SW 13 AVE
 503.535.3800* Birth certificate assistance
 Transgender name and identification assistance*
 Use mailing address for identification * Portland Rescue Mission 111 W
BURNSIDE ST
 503.647.7466 Use mailing address for identification * Salvation Army
 Harbor Light Shelter
 (veterans only) 30 SW 2 AVE
 503.239.1259 Residents may use mailing address for identification SAFE -
Salvation Army
 Female Emergency Center
 (single women only) 11 NW 5th AVE
 503.227.8681 Residents and clients may use mailing address
 for identification Sisters of the Road Caf? 133 NW 6 AVE
 503.222.5694 Use mailing address for identification St. Francis Parish 330
SE 11 AVE Use mailing address for identification * TPI - Transition
Projects Inc.
  Bud Clark Commons 650 NW Irving ST
 503.823.4930* Identification assistance
 *Use mailing address for identification *
 Note: ID assistance is offered by lottery.  Bring your Social
 Security card and a statement from DHS stating that
 income is less than $677 per month.  Call or visit for times
 and more information.

*1. Obtaining identification*

a. Because library card and guest pass registrations require
identification, patrons may need assistance with obtaining identification.

b. See the chart above for organizations that will provide a mailing
address for the purposes of obtaining an Oregon State Identification card.

c. For other identification information, please call:

   - 503-299-9999 for Oregon Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) requirements
   - 1-800-772-1213 for Social Security requirements.
   - 211 for other assistance options.

*2. Mailing address*

a.   Patrons must be able to receive mail from the library. Proof of
address is not required at registration. Patrons who do not have a
permanent residential address may give the address where they are residing
on that day or the address of a shelter where they can receive mail.

Several shelters have mail services where patrons can receive mail. See the
chart above. Patrons may use a shelter mailing address as their residential
address."
What we are trying at Multnomah County to is provide a combination of
useful information for patrons who may need ID and don't have it, and a
generous address policy so that people are able to use the library.  In my
view, the library should accompany a clear policy with an ethic of service
to all.  Thus, we try to offer as many services as we can, such as deposit
collections, to local shelters and drop-in centers, and to welcome all into
our buildings.

I have been involved with library service to homeless people for many
years, and the first question is often about getting library materials
back.  It's an understandable question, but I have always wished that the
first question would be "How shall we best serve people who are homeless?"

 Attached is a Homeless Handbook being developed by the ALA SRRT Task Force
on the Homeless.  People throughout ALA have contributed to the handbook.
This is a draft but it is being well received, as far as I can tell.

There was also a resolution at the ALA 2012 Conference to add the wording
to the ALA Library Bill of Rights to address service to the homeless.  The
resolution did not pass but I believe it was refered to the Intellectual
Freedom Committee.  The IFC, I believe, feels that this is already covered
int the Library Bill of Rights but there is some feeling that they may need
to do something in the interpretations to more directly address the issue
of homelessness.  With the foreclosures happening around the country as
well as other economic problems homelessness or people without a permanent
address is growing.

I am going to look for the ALA Resolution.  I was not able to quickly find
it but will post it as soon as I find it.  It does have good information
within the resolution.

Candise, I suspect your library's primary mission is to serve the faculty, staff, and students of your college, with limited, if any, service to the general public.  That's as it should be, because your funding comes from your college.

Likewise, my library's primary mission is to serve those who fund it, the taxpayers of Milton-Freewater and the Umatilla County Special Library District.  Through reciprocal borrowing agreements we also serve the patrons of other libraries in the Sage Library System.  If someone from outside that network comes in, they are free to use our books and other materials in the library.  If, however, they wish to carry our materials away from the library, they need a card, just like our local residents do.  Because visitors are not paying taxes to make these materials available, our generous free service to them stops at the door.  If they wish to borrow materials, there is an annual fee for getting a library card, and they must present ID from an approved list of acceptable items.

Why?  Because it would not be fair to our taxpayers to provide unlimited library services to those who pay no taxes to us.  Because my boss, the City Manager, expects me to take reasonable steps to ensure that materials which leave the building will return to it.

If I go to the public library in Walla Walla or Boise or Dubuque should I expect them to loan books to me?  No.  Why not?  Because they have the same responsibilities to their taxpayers and their local government that I have to mine.  If they allow me to use materials within their building, and do it at no charge, isn't that sufficiently generous?  How much more should I expect from them?

I'm sure that when a member of your college community checks out materials from your library, there is a penalty for failure to return them.  If you failed to maintain control over your collection, your bosses would hold you responsible for the losses; if too many items were lost, you would be penalized or even fired.

Homeless people also fall into a category of people who are not paying property taxes to support the library.  In addition, they fall into a category of people who would be difficult or impossible to track down and hold responsible if they failed to return materials.  Those are two good reasons to limit their use of library materials to within the confines of the library building.  By doing so we are not denying them access to library materials; in fact we are generously allowing them use of a building and a collection they are not supporting with property tax dollars.  What we are doing is exercising prudent control over a million dollars worth of materials for which we are responsible by not allowing them to carry those materials away.

I have compassion for homeless people, but I am not a social worker and the library is not a social service agency;  I'm a librarian and the library is an educational institution.  What I do for homeless people on my time is up to me, but what I do for them on the job as a city employee is limited by the ordinances and funding which govern the library.

I have to respectfully disagree, Bob. I think our responsibility is to not just serve those who can pay for services, but to enrich the community at large. Especially in times of economic crisis, the public library is one of the few places where people should have access to the resources that will allow them to enrich themselves. I think it is great that you are exploring this issue, Kirsten. I don't have any suggestions for you, but I'd love to hear what you decide.

This is an interesting question, because it's not simply "How do we serve everyone who wants service?".

Most public libraries are supported primarily through property taxes.  Therefore their primary responsibilities are:

(1)     Provide services to those who provide your funding, which would be property owners who pay taxes directly and renters who pay taxes indirectly through their property-owner landlords
(2)     Safeguard a large investment in public property (books, periodicals, videos, audio recordings, etc.) by having a way to track down and hold accountable borrowers who fail to return materials

For these reasons, most libraries require library card applicants to show proof of residence in the city, county, or district which funds the library.  In addition, there often are severe limits on first-time borrowers, who account for a high percentage of losses.

Homeless people generally cannot provide documentation to verify residency.  Likewise, some people who have resided in your service area for years choose to not have any form of ID which you may require, such as a driver's license, DMV ID card, voter registration card, utility bill, etc.  If you refuse to issue cards to one group, how can you justify serving the other (and this works in both directions)?

If you want to have more lenient standards for homeless people and/or for people who choose to have no form of ID, how can you justify stricter standards for other people?  That would be discriminatory.  But do you really want anyone who walks in the door to carry out anything they wish with no reasonable way to find them and hold them responsible for failure to bring stuff back in a timely manner?  That would be irresponsible.

I'd be interested in learning what you decide to do, and how you justify it.

Subject: [Libs-Or] Library cards for homeless/those without permanent address

We're currently exploring ways to better serve our transient population here in Lincoln City. In the past we have worked out cards for individuals staying at a nearby domestic violence shelter, and we allow anyone to make use of our computers, but I would like to set up something more permanent and wide-ranging that would allow individuals without a permanent address to better access library services.

We have some ideas here on staff, but I would be very interested in hearing how other libraries have tackled this. What kinds of requirements do you have in order to obtain a card? Do cards for those without permanent address have the same borrowing privileges, or modified privileges? Have you experienced a great deal of material loss, or no? I suspect I may have to work pretty hard to get 100% buy-in from my board and from staff, so any information you've got would be great!

Well said, Bob.  Our stewardship/fiduciary responsibilities are extremely important, especially when the funding source is a tax  base.  You are not denying access.  You are promoting access through your open door policy and by providing a positive, welcoming environment for all who come into the library.

How about a box of books that have been donated that you could just send off with people.  I really hate to send someone out the door without something to read. Especially if they have nothing else, but my budget is so small, I can't afford to let books on the shelf disappear

Subject: [Libs-Or] Library cards for homeless/those without permanent address

We're currently exploring ways to better serve our transient population here in Lincoln City. In the past we have worked out cards for individuals staying at a nearby domestic violence shelter, and we allow anyone to make use of our computers, but I would like to set up something more permanent and wide-ranging that would allow individuals without a permanent address to better access library services.

We have some ideas here on staff, but I would be very interested in hearing how other libraries have tackled this. What kinds of requirements do you have in order to obtain a card? Do cards for those without permanent address have the same borrowing privileges, or modified privileges? Have you experienced a great deal of material loss, or no? I suspect I may have to work pretty hard to get 100% buy-in from my board and from staff, so any information you've got would be great!

OSLIS is an information literacy website, www.oslis.org<http://www.oslis.org>, and the portal for K12 Oregon students and educators to access the statewide subscription databases. If your library does not promote OSLIS with patrons, feel free to disregard this email.
The rebuilt OSLIS website should be ready to go live tomorrow or Wednesday. That means OSLIS Lite will come down and the fuller version of OSLIS will return. If we run into a problem that causes a delay, the next go-live date will most likely be Monday, July 16th.

Note that the rebuilt OSLIS is the same as the former fuller site except that it no longer has the My Stuff folder. That was a virtual space to store work related to a current research project, and we did not pay to rebuild the feature because there are now many cloud applications that serve the same purpose, like Google docs.

If you run into any problems on the rebuilt site, please report them. Use the feedback form on OSLIS or send me an email directly.

Have questions? Please ask.

Thanks,
Jen

I would simply make this distinction: our mission is to serve residents of
Multnomah County, no matter whether they are housed or not.  We do not call
out "taxpayers" as those we serve, in our mission statement and philosophy.
 Most public libraries, I would venture, have some kind of statement like
this, from ours, in their philosophy and policies:
"We will give all individuals the same consideration and level of service."

If they can come into the building and use materials in the building, isn't that access?  If they can use the Internet and attend meetings and programs in the building, isn't that access?

If the limits of available resources dictate we cannot distribute materials to people we have no way to contact when the materials are overdue, doesn't that fit our vision statement?

And if it's our taxpayers who must give us funding next year, and the year after that, don't we know which side our bread is buttered on?

Here in the real world we must be practical and objective when operating a tax-supported entity.  We must be able to defend our policies and procedures to the city administration, the city council, and our taxpayers.

Actially, Bob, the mission of the Milton-Freewater Public Library is to serve the area's residents. You mission statement doesn't say anything about taxpayers.

"City Public Library Vision: To anticipate, recognize, and respond to changing patterns in the public's need and demand for library services and to address those needs and demands by revising library programs and services to meet them, within the limits of available resources."

"City Library Mission: To provide access to appropriate educational, instructional, and recreational materials in print and nonprint formats to the residents of the Milton-Freewater area."

Unless you're suggesting that someone who resides in your area isn't a resident until he can afford a utility bill, ID card, etc.

Candise, I suspect your library's primary mission is to serve the faculty, staff, and students of your college, with limited, if any, service to the general public.  That's as it should be, because your funding comes from your college.

Likewise, my library's primary mission is to serve those who fund it, the taxpayers of Milton-Freewater and the Umatilla County Special Library District.  Through reciprocal borrowing agreements we also serve the patrons of other libraries in the Sage Library System.  If someone from outside that network comes in, they are free to use our books and other materials in the library.  If, however, they wish to carry our materials away from the library, they need a card, just like our local residents do.  Because visitors are not paying taxes to make these materials available, our generous free service to them stops at the door.  If they wish to borrow materials, there is an annual fee for getting a library card, and they must present ID from an approved list of acceptable items.

Why?  Because it would not be fair to our taxpayers to provide unlimited library services to those who pay no taxes to us.  Because my boss, the City Manager, expects me to take reasonable steps to ensure that materials which leave the building will return to it.

If I go to the public library in Walla Walla or Boise or Dubuque should I expect them to loan books to me?  No.  Why not?  Because they have the same responsibilities to their taxpayers and their local government that I have to mine.  If they allow me to use materials within their building, and do it at no charge, isn't that sufficiently generous?  How much more should I expect from them?

I'm sure that when a member of your college community checks out materials from your library, there is a penalty for failure to return them.  If you failed to maintain control over your collection, your bosses would hold you responsible for the losses; if too many items were lost, you would be penalized or even fired.

Homeless people also fall into a category of people who are not paying property taxes to support the library.  In addition, they fall into a category of people who would be difficult or impossible to track down and hold responsible if they failed to return materials.  Those are two good reasons to limit their use of library materials to within the confines of the library building.  By doing so we are not denying them access to library materials; in fact we are generously allowing them use of a building and a collection they are not supporting with property tax dollars.  What we are doing is exercising prudent control over a million dollars worth of materials for which we are responsible by not allowing them to carry those materials away.

I have compassion for homeless people, but I am not a social worker and the library is not a social service agency;  I'm a librarian and the library is an educational institution.  What I do for homeless people on my time is up to me, but what I do for them on the job as a city employee is limited by the ordinances and funding which govern the library.

I have to respectfully disagree, Bob. I think our responsibility is to not just serve those who can pay for services, but to enrich the community at large. Especially in times of economic crisis, the public library is one of the few places where people should have access to the resources that will allow them to enrich themselves. I think it is great that you are exploring this issue, Kirsten. I don't have any suggestions for you, but I'd love to hear what you decide.

This is an interesting question, because it's not simply "How do we serve everyone who wants service?".

Most public libraries are supported primarily through property taxes.  Therefore their primary responsibilities are:

(1)     Provide services to those who provide your funding, which would be property owners who pay taxes directly and renters who pay taxes indirectly through their property-owner landlords
(2)     Safeguard a large investment in public property (books, periodicals, videos, audio recordings, etc.) by having a way to track down and hold accountable borrowers who fail to return materials

For these reasons, most libraries require library card applicants to show proof of residence in the city, county, or district which funds the library.  In addition, there often are severe limits on first-time borrowers, who account for a high percentage of losses.

Homeless people generally cannot provide documentation to verify residency.  Likewise, some people who have resided in your service area for years choose to not have any form of ID which you may require, such as a driver's license, DMV ID card, voter registration card, utility bill, etc.  If you refuse to issue cards to one group, how can you justify serving the other (and this works in both directions)?

If you want to have more lenient standards for homeless people and/or for people who choose to have no form of ID, how can you justify stricter standards for other people?  That would be discriminatory.  But do you really want anyone who walks in the door to carry out anything they wish with no reasonable way to find them and hold them responsible for failure to bring stuff back in a timely manner?  That would be irresponsible.

I'd be interested in learning what you decide to do, and how you justify it.

We're currently exploring ways to better serve our transient population here in Lincoln City. In the past we have worked out cards for individuals staying at a nearby domestic violence shelter, and we allow anyone to make use of our computers, but I would like to set up something more permanent and wide-ranging that would allow individuals without a permanent address to better access library services.

We have some ideas here on staff, but I would be very interested in hearing how other libraries have tackled this. What kinds of requirements do you have in order to obtain a card?

What about people who evade taxes? What is being done to prevent them from
checking out materials? And children don't pay taxes (even though their
parents might), so I guess there's no reason to spend money on youth
services.

I suppose that this is the basis of our difference of opinion, Bob -- I DO
view the library as a social service. And I believe social services should
benefit the entire community, no matter how down and out a person might be.
I understand the concern that you cannot follow up with patrons, but I

I do like the creative ideas that come from our colleagues when problems arise.  Thanks Cheryl, and Kirsten, please share other ideas people have suggested.

Library Link had this article a little while back that some of you might have missed.  Community needs vary so it's important to know what will best meet your patrons' needs.  This idea might be adapted to help this situation in some local areas.  I know of a number of academic libraries that have reading rooms based on this concept.  No gift letters and no tech services processing or circ stats, just an area where people can swap or take and return items.   I'm guessing it won't work everywhere, but it's  another possible to add to the hopper for consideration.

How about a box of books that have been donated that you could just send off with people.  I really hate to send someone out the door without something to read. Especially if they have nothing else, but my budget is so small, I can't afford to let books on the shelf disappear

Well said, Bob.  Our stewardship/fiduciary responsibilities are extremely important, especially when the funding source is a tax  base.  You are not denying access.  You are promoting access through your open door policy and by providing a positive, welcoming environment for all who come into the library.

Candise, I suspect your library's primary mission is to serve the faculty, staff, and students of your college, with limited, if any, service to the general public.  That's as it should be, because your funding comes from your college.

Likewise, my library's primary mission is to serve those who fund it, the taxpayers of Milton-Freewater and the Umatilla County Special Library District.  Through reciprocal borrowing agreements we also serve the patrons of other libraries in the Sage Library System.  If someone from outside that network comes in, they are free to use our books and other materials in the library.  If, however, they wish to carry our materials away from the library, they need a card, just like our local residents do.  Because visitors are not paying taxes to make these materials available, our generous free service to them stops at the door.  If they wish to borrow materials, there is an annual fee for getting a library card, and they must present ID from an approved list of acceptable items.

Why?  Because it would not be fair to our taxpayers to provide unlimited library services to those who pay no taxes to us.  Because my boss, the City Manager, expects me to take reasonable steps to ensure that materials which leave the building will return to it.

If I go to the public library in Walla Walla or Boise or Dubuque should I expect them to loan books to me?  No.  Why not?  Because they have the same responsibilities to their taxpayers and their local government that I have to mine.  If they allow me to use materials within their building, and do it at no charge, isn't that sufficiently generous?  How much more should I expect from them?

I'm sure that when a member of your college community checks out materials from your library, there is a penalty for failure to return them.  If you failed to maintain control over your collection, your bosses would hold you responsible for the losses; if too many items were lost, you would be penalized or even fired.

Homeless people also fall into a category of people who are not paying property taxes to support the library.  In addition, they fall into a category of people who would be difficult or impossible to track down and hold responsible if they failed to return materials.  Those are two good reasons to limit their use of library materials to within the confines of the library building.  By doing so we are not denying them access to library materials; in fact we are generously allowing them use of a building and a collection they are not supporting with property tax dollars.  What we are doing is exercising prudent control over a million dollars worth of materials for which we are responsible by not allowing them to carry those materials away.

I have compassion for homeless people, but I am not a social worker and the library is not a social service agency;  I'm a librarian and the library is an educational institution.  What I do for homeless people on my time is up to me, but what I do for them on the job as a city employee is limited by the ordinances and funding which govern the library.

This is an interesting question, because it's not simply "How do we serve everyone who wants service?".

Most public libraries are supported primarily through property taxes.  Therefore their primary responsibilities are:

(1)     Provide services to those who provide your funding, which would be property owners who pay taxes directly and renters who pay taxes indirectly through their property-owner landlords
(2)     Safeguard a large investment in public property (books, periodicals, videos, audio recordings, etc.) by having a way to track down and hold accountable borrowers who fail to return materials

For these reasons, most libraries require library card applicants to show proof of residence in the city, county, or district which funds the library.  In addition, there often are severe limits on first-time borrowers, who account for a high percentage of losses.

Homeless people generally cannot provide documentation to verify residency.  Likewise, some people who have resided in your service area for years choose to not have any form of ID which you may require, such as a driver's license, DMV ID card, voter registration card, utility bill, etc.  If you refuse to issue cards to one group, how can you justify serving the other (and this works in both directions)?

That would be discriminatory.  But do you really want anyone who walks in the door to carry out anything they wish with no reasonable way to find them and hold them responsible for failure to bring stuff back in a timely manner?  That would be irresponsible.

I'd be interested in learning what you decide to do, and how you justify it.

We're currently exploring ways to better serve our transient population here in Lincoln City. In the past we have worked out cards for individuals staying at a nearby domestic violence shelter, and we allow anyone to make use of our computers, but I would like to set up something more permanent and wide-ranging that would allow individuals without a permanent address to better access library services.

We have some ideas here on staff, but I would be very interested in hearing how other libraries have tackled this. What kinds of requirements do you have in order to obtain a card? Do cards for those without permanent address have the same borrowing privileges, or modified privileges? Have you experienced a great deal of material loss, or no? I suspect I may have to work pretty hard to get 100% buy-in from my board and from staff, so any information you've got would be great!

Obviously, there is a philosophical difference here.  That is OK; it has been an interesting discussion and I have enjoyed it.

Bob, I appreciate your position but also have to say (as someone who is closer on this issue to Jane, Shaun and Candice than to you), that those of us who see things differently also work each day, as you do, in what you describe as "the real world."  There is simply more than one way to view this issue.

If they can come into the building and use materials in the building, isn't that access?  If they can use the Internet and attend meetings and programs in the building, isn't that access?

If the limits of available resources dictate we cannot distribute materials to people we have no way to contact when the materials are overdue, doesn't that fit our vision statement?

And if it's our taxpayers who must give us funding next year, and the year after that, don't we know which side our bread is buttered on?

Here in the real world we must be practical and objective when operating a tax-supported entity.  We must be able to defend our policies and procedures to the city administration, the city council, and our taxpayers.

Actially, Bob, the mission of the Milton-Freewater Public Library is to serve the area's residents. You mission statement doesn't say anything about taxpayers.

"City Public Library Vision: To anticipate, recognize, and respond to changing patterns in the public's need and demand for library services and to address those needs and demands by revising library programs and services to meet them, within the limits of available resources."

"City Library Mission: To provide access to appropriate educational, instructional, and recreational materials in print and nonprint formats to the residents of the Milton-Freewater area."

Unless you're suggesting that someone who resides in your area isn't a resident until he can afford a utility bill, ID card, etc.

Candise, I suspect your library's primary mission is to serve the faculty, staff, and students of your college, with limited, if any, service to the general public.  That's as it should be, because your funding comes from your college.

Likewise, my library's primary mission is to serve those who fund it, the taxpayers of Milton-Freewater and the Umatilla County Special Library District.  Through reciprocal borrowing agreements we also serve the patrons of other libraries in the Sage Library System.  If someone from outside that network comes in, they are free to use our books and other materials in the library.  If, however, they wish to carry our materials away from the library, they need a card, just like our local residents do.  Because visitors are not paying taxes to make these materials available, our generous free service to them stops at the door.  If they wish to borrow materials, there is an annual fee for getting a library card, and they must present ID from an approved list of acceptable items.

Why?  Because it would not be fair to our taxpayers to provide unlimited library services to those who pay no taxes to us.  Because my boss, the City Manager, expects me to take reasonable steps to ensure that materials which leave the building will return to it.

If I go to the public library in Walla Walla or Boise or Dubuque should I expect them to loan books to me?  No.  Why not?  Because they have the same responsibilities to their taxpayers and their local government that I have to mine.  If they allow me to use materials within their building, and do it at no charge, isn't that sufficiently generous?  How much more should I expect from them?

I'm sure that when a member of your college community checks out materials from your library, there is a penalty for failure to return them.  If you failed to maintain control over your collection, your bosses would hold you responsible for the losses; if too many items were lost, you would be penalized or even fired.

Homeless people also fall into a category of people who are not paying property taxes to support the library.  In addition, they fall into a category of people who would be difficult or impossible to track down and hold responsible if they failed to return materials.  Those are two good reasons to limit their use of library materials to within the confines of the library building.  By doing so we are not denying them access to library materials; in fact we are generously allowing them use of a building and a collection they are not supporting with property tax dollars.  What we are doing is exercising prudent control over a million dollars worth of materials for which we are responsible by not allowing them to carry those materials away.

I have compassion for homeless people, but I am not a social worker and the library is not a social service agency;  I'm a librarian and the library is an educational institution.  What I do for homeless people on my time is up to me, but what I do for them on the job as a city employee is limited by the ordinances and funding which govern the library.

I have to respectfully disagree, Bob. I think our responsibility is to not just serve those who can pay for services, but to enrich the community at large. Especially in times of economic crisis, the public library is one of the few places where people should have access to the resources that will allow them to enrich themselves. I think it is great that you are exploring this issue, Kirsten. I don't have any suggestions for you, but I'd love to hear what you decide.

Most public libraries are supported primarily through property taxes.  Therefore their primary responsibilities are:

(1)     Provide services to those who provide your funding, which would be property owners who pay taxes directly and renters who pay taxes indirectly through their property-owner landlords
(2)     Safeguard a large investment in public property (books, periodicals, videos, audio recordings, etc.) by having a way to track down and hold accountable borrowers who fail to return materials

For these reasons, most libraries require library card applicants to show proof of residence in the city, county, or district which funds the library.  In addition, there often are severe limits on first-time borrowers, who account for a high percentage of losses.

Homeless people generally cannot provide documentation to verify residency.  Likewise, some people who have resided in your service area for years choose to not have any form of ID which you may require, such as a driver's license, DMV ID card, voter registration card, utility bill, etc.  If you refuse to issue cards to one group, how can you justify serving the other (and this works in both directions)?

If you want to have more lenient standards for homeless people and/or for people who choose to have no form of ID, how can you justify stricter standards for other people?  That would be discriminatory.  But do you really want anyone who walks in the door to carry out anything they wish with no reasonable way to find them and hold them responsible for failure to bring stuff back in a timely manner?  That would be irresponsible.

I'd be interested in learning what you decide to do, and how you justify it.

Hello Kirsten,

What an interesting discussion you have sparked! I was talking it over with one of my student workers, and she suggested that you could perhaps have a 'holds' area where those people who cannot provide the information needed to get a library card can have books held for a certain amount of time, so that they can revisit the book without having to worry about another patron checking it out and removing it from the library.  That way, they can have access to the book for the normal checkout period, but it never leaves the physical library location.  I don't know how well this could work, but it seems like a way to give them most of the regular privileges while keeping account of library property.

I have very much enjoyed the conversation. Obviously, like homelessness
itself, it is a complex issue for libraries to address. I recall one of my
favorite library blogs: In the Library with the Lead Pipe had a post on
this topic a few years back which might be of interest to some:
Welcoming the Homeless Into Libraries:

Actually, now that it has been brought to our attention,  I kind of prefer the comfort of knowing that serving the homeless by letting them check out materials is not part of the real world.   It's much better knowing that those homeless patrons aren't part of the real world!  I must have been imagining them in the dream world in which I reside!

Obviously, there is a philosophical difference here.  That is OK; it has been an interesting discussion and I have enjoyed it.

Bob, I appreciate your position but also have to say (as someone who is closer on this issue to Jane, Shaun and Candice than to you), that those of us who see things differently also work each day, as you do, in what you describe as "the real world."  There is simply more than one way to view this issue.

If they can come into the building and use materials in the building, isn't that access?  If they can use the Internet and attend meetings and programs in the building, isn't that access?

If the limits of available resources dictate we cannot distribute materials to people we have no way to contact when the materials are overdue, doesn't that fit our vision statement?

And if it's our taxpayers who must give us funding next year, and the year after that, don't we know which side our bread is buttered on?

Here in the real world we must be practical and objective when operating a tax-supported entity.  We must be able to defend our policies and procedures to the city administration, the city council, and our taxpayers.

Actially, Bob, the mission of the Milton-Freewater Public Library is to serve the area's residents. You mission statement doesn't say anything about taxpayers.

"City Public Library Vision: To anticipate, recognize, and respond to changing patterns in the public's need and demand for library services and to address those needs and demands by revising library programs and services to meet them, within the limits of available resources."

"City Library Mission: To provide access to appropriate educational, instructional, and recreational materials in print and nonprint formats to the residents of the Milton-Freewater area."

Unless you're suggesting that someone who resides in your area isn't a resident until he can afford a utility bill, ID card, etc.

Candise, I suspect your library's primary mission is to serve the faculty, staff, and students of your college, with limited, if any, service to the general public.  That's as it should be, because your funding comes from your college.

Likewise, my library's primary mission is to serve those who fund it, the taxpayers of Milton-Freewater and the Umatilla County Special Library District.  Through reciprocal borrowing agreements we also serve the patrons of other libraries in the Sage Library System.  If someone from outside that network comes in, they are free to use our books and other materials in the library.  If, however, they wish to carry our materials away from the library, they need a card, just like our local residents do.  Because visitors are not paying taxes to make these materials available, our generous free service to them stops at the door.  If they wish to borrow materials, there is an annual fee for getting a library card, and they must present ID from an approved list of acceptable items.

Why?  Because it would not be fair to our taxpayers to provide unlimited library services to those who pay no taxes to us.  Because my boss, the City Manager, expects me to take reasonable steps to ensure that materials which leave the building will return to it.

If I go to the public library in Walla Walla or Boise or Dubuque should I expect them to loan books to me?  No.  Why not?  Because they have the same responsibilities to their taxpayers and their local government that I have to mine.

Chiming in at much too much length...

On a practical level: One of the best options is to issue a limited 
card to people who can't meet your residence standards, no matter the 
reason. Limit the number of items they can check out and possibly the 
types of items they can check out (say, 1 DVD or music CD at a time); 
prevent them from placing holds, prevent them from using your ILL 
service; make the card itself temporary, so that you ask for address 
verification again within a set period of time (maybe things will change 
for them!). When you have local agencies that provide mailing addresses 
for people they shelter, as they do in Multnomah and Eugene (hurray!), 
take advantage of that. Then track your statistics, and evaluate the 
policy. Are these limited cards causing you more losses than other 
cards? How much? Is that acceptable for your budget? Answer those 
questions, and keep offering the best access you can within your means.

On a philosophical level: Our mission is to provide access. But we have 
fiscal responsibility not only to the taxpayers and donors that fund us, 
but to our budgets. Some of us just can't afford the costs of lost 
materials and of staff time dealing with fines that may never be 
paid--and experience teaches us that those costs go up when we are 
trying to serve people in precarious situations.

Another side of it is that people whose lives right now preclude stable 
housing or income *also* can't afford library fines--and they are more 
likely to incur those fines because they have less control over items in 
their possession, their transportation, their schedule, and their 
physical health and safety. We are potentially making more trouble for 
them by issuing them library cards and letting them take things home 
that may not come back, or may not come back in time, or may come back 
damaged. It's just one more dimension to the cruelty of poverty, 
homelessness, domestic violence, developmental and mental health 
challenges, and addictions.

And *another* side is that fines represent a significant revenue stream 
for the library--revenue that is degraded by the amount of staff time 
required to deal with fines, particularly those that require pursuit. 
Fiscally, we don't want to accrue fines that don't get paid or take a 
lot of effort to get paid: it's not just lost revenue, it's extra costs 
from staff time.

Of course, library losses and fines also regularly occur with people 
who verified their addresses when they established their library 
accounts. People move; people lose their homes; people refuse or are 
unable to pay a fine; people are bad at managing library material and 
due-dates. This is another reason to analyze your statistics, and 
understand the full picture.

In Coos County, we don't allow my "best option" above. We have a policy 
that allows us to issue provisional library cards with limited 
circulation for people who have permanent addresses elsewhere, and also 
an address locally that accepts mail (like an RV park; some of our 
libraries also sometimes accept "General Delivery" as an address...). 
For people new to the area, or who have just moved, who can't verify 
their local address, at North Bend we give them a postcard and ask them 
to mail it to themselves at the address they just gave us. They can then 
bring the postcard back in as proof of deliverable address. We recently 
implemented a temporary card for people who have PO Boxes, but no proof 
of local street address.

We also have a controversial "Banned Addresses" list, at least for the 
two largest libraries in North Bend and Coos Bay. These are the local 
homeless shelters, temporary housing programs, and a Women's Resource 
and Safety Center. The Women's Center has several different housing 
locations, and rightly guards the actual locations of women staying with 
them. They also do not accept mail for the women in their programs. Our 
policy is to refuse library cards to people at those addresses, and to 
block cards of people who move to one of those addresses (and give us 
that address when updating their accounts). I wish it weren't so, but my 
Business Manager is very persuasive regarding how much time she has to 
spend on fines and losses associated with those addresses.

Bob is right that anyone can use materials in the building (and 
computers, depending on your policies). Many libraries also provide a 
"browsing" or "honor" collection of inexpensive and/or donated 
paperbacks and children's materials, as we do at North Bend. Anyone can 
take those items home without checking them out (we just ask them to 
tell us how many they took, for record-keeping). However, it seems that 
people in the most difficult circumstances seem to want primarily DVDs, 
and lots of them at a time--which we just can't do.

In Coos County, I would like to reexamine our policy, and issue very 
limited cards to people who can't verify any address: one item at a 
time, no holds, no ILLs. That way we would control potential losses, and 
a person in difficult circumstances would limit their own potential 
damages while also learning how using the library works for them.

One of my staff members told me that she sometimes wants to say to 
people, after wrangling with them for the umpteenth time about how the 
items didn't come back in time and how there are fines now (and 
listening to their variable stories about how the items really did come 
back or why they didn't come back in time or how they really shouldn't 
have to pay this), "Maybe the library is just not for you!" She has a 
point. Some people have a very hard time managing their library 
materials--and these are the people who *do* have verified addresses.

For what it's worth; your mileage may vary...

Most of the libraries in Lincoln County don't charge fines so we, happily,
don't spend the time an energy on that issue.  Of course, overdue notices
and bills for unreturned items are sent out. We also do have limits on the
number of items that can be checked out.

I really hate to see fines stopping people from using libraries.  Sometimes
those who can't pay the fines are the ones who most need the libraries.
Even if they have a more permanent address they may live in a situation
where keeping track of materials can be challenging but they get the items
back to the library, just late.

Bless you in Lincoln County who don't charge late fees. A library is a 
much happier place to work in and to visit without the trouble we have 
over charging and collecting late fees. If you can get by without that 
revenue (revenue offset by staff time and trouble...), that's a very 
good thing.

There are also PR arguments, both for and against late fees. You have 
friendlier relations at the circulation desk if you don't have to talk 
about late fees, and you can spend more time actually helping people if 
you're not pausing to remind people about late fees and to collect late 
fees. Late fees sometimes make people feel judged or criticized or 
shamed, which is not how we'd like them to feel about the library. Then 
the other PR side is when some voters say, "Hey, why are you asking me 
for another library levy when you don't charge late fees? Shouldn't you 
charge people first? Are you socialists or something?" (well, 
actually...) Sigh.

I also love the people in Coos County who cheerily pay their late fees, 
laughing and saying, "I just think of it as my contribution to the 
library!" Which it is.

Again, a good cost-benefit analysis is helpful for this issue. How much 
revenue do we actually get from late fees? How much do we spend (staff 
time, consumables and postage for notices) collecting and pursuing late 
fees and other fines?

And I'm having too much fun thinking about (and typing about) library 
issues on my day off. The messages wouldn't be nearly so long if I were 
at work today!

7/9/12

I, too, have enjoyed this developing conversation. We have been through
this for many years at our library. Madras has a large homeless population,
who do like to read. We have our regulars here who come in every week. What
we have done for years is place a "free" box in the lobby of the library.
Any items that do not sell in our continuous book sale after a period of
time, or are deemed not fit to sell, go into the free box. We fill the box
up as needed and the books disappear quickly. The other need that we fill
is having a large selection and genres of "please return" paperbacks. These
items are stamped, have a spine label for shelving, and a wide strip of
scrap laminate on the spine. That's it. These are mixed in with our regular
paperback shelves and anyone who wishes can come in and borrow the books.
All they have to do is tell us how many they are "borrowing" for our stats.
If the books don't come back, oh well. This has worked fine for us. We keep
a certain amount of gift books just for this purpose. There is minimal
handling, no cataloging, and we have a volunteer who processes the books.
Our magazines, stacks and newspapers are free to peruse in the library, and
folks can still borrow the "please return" items if they so choose.
Something to consider besides worrying about getting cataloged items back.
Our budget is too strapped to not consider the ramifications of even more
cataloged items walking out the door and no way to get them back.

Perhaps. But unless there is something to limit behavior, friendly policies
can have unintended side effects. The benefit of the fines is not the money
they bring in, but rather that they encourage people to return things.

When I was in college, neither faculty nor graduate students had to pay
fines. A practical side effect of that policy was that many of them had
checked out literally hundreds of items which they kept for years on end.
This costs a fortune, does no good, and only lends credence to those who
insist that libraries are irrelevant and that we should turn to the
internet for all our information needs.

Actually what happens without fines is that items get returned at the same
rate as in libraries with fines.   The down side might be that the returns
come in a bit later, it is not that the items aren't returned.  The major
up side is the reduction of stress on staff.  Yes, there has been research
done on this. I am, however, unable to point anyone to the research today
but probably could later in the week.  Oh, the research is on return rates
and not staff stress levels. That is just a comment from my personal
experience.

Check out our neighbors to the north at the Fort Vancouver Regional

they give a free card to anyone who lives within the jurisdiction of a

That sounds Utopian, but I'm wondering if they really mean the counties/districts that have reciprocal agreements with FVRL.

Eligibility for a library card
The following categories of individuals with adequate identification are eligible to register for library cards:

  *   All residents of the Library District.
  *   Non-residents of the Library District who pay taxes to support the Library District. This includes individuals who own a business or property located within the Library District but live elsewhere.
  *   Residents of other tax-supported public library jurisdictions such as individuals known as "Reciprocal Borrowers."
  *   Residents of areas where there is no tax-supported public library may register for a card after paying a household non-resident fee.
Otherwise, it is interesting that they are explicit in granting cards to nonresidents who are still part of the tax base. They are also limiting this to property/business owners - not those who are employed in the District, but live in a non-reciprocal area. That makes me think that they really intend the third clause to mean pre-arranged reciprocal areas.

Curiously,
Sarah

Nope, they mean anywhere. We're right across the Columbia from FVRL, so 
we interact with them fairly regularly.

Admittedly, being an independent district does grant a bit more leeway 
to adopt friendlier policies, if your board of directors so chooses.

Subject: [Libs-Or] Privacy statement about checkout histories
Message-ID: <4FFC7580.5050705@hoodriverlibrary.org>

Hi everyone,

Do any of you have a good privacy statement that you display to patrons 
when they're given the option to record their checkout history? Sage is 
upgrading to the new version of Evergreen, which includes the ability 
for patrons to store their checkout and holds histories. We'd like to 
give some sort of brief privacy note next to the box enabling the 
option, something like, "Hey, just so you know, what you're reading, 
viewing and listening to is being recorded now," only perhaps a tad bit 
more formal. Suggestions are welcomed!

Thanks!

Cheers!
Buzzy Nielsen

Hi all,

thank you for having this conversation.

It has made me think of library funding and my own library use.

I am a tax payer and thankfully a home owner who pays taxes.

However, I don't really care much for the library--I prefer to buy my own
books, and use the library primarily for story-times for my children--when
it fits my schedule--which is hardly ever.

I'm sure there are MANY MANY people like me, who used to use the library
for videos and music, but I now have Pandora, netflix and a who bunch of
AFFORDABLE alternatives.

So, when it comes to library funding--I have little interest in funding
libraries more.


When I was poor, broke and literally starving--I used the library heavily
and loved it so much I would have given more money to the  library has I
been able to afford it.

Now that I don't need the library, and don't really have much care for
those who are homeless and their reading needs (I'm being totally sarcastic
here), I don't really feel the need to increase library services.  In fact,
since I hardly use the library--I think paying less taxes toward library
funding would be a fantastic idea!

It is ironic the libraries depend on people who can't really afford to buy
their books, films and music, yet--this conversation has got me thinking
about how the people who really NEED libraries can't afford them, while the
people who CAN afford them don't need them.

I am speaking from my own experience and would be interested what you all
think about library funding in a time of economic crisis and ubiquitous
entertainment/education (for those who can afford it).

I think public libraries need to have a philosophical discussion about who
 they serve and who pays for these services.

If libraries are only for those who have money, then libraries are not
meant to stay--and I don't want libraries like this anyway.

I'm sorry I don't have much more time to elaborate--I'm swamped, but wanted
to say something about this issue.

I don't always collect fines, especially if I know families just forget not on a regular basis, or if it's a kid bringing a book back.  But in our library, part of the budget is the fines. We don't make much on them, but the City Administration looks to see it is coming in.

Subject: Re: [Libs-Or] Library cards for homeless/those without permanent address

That sounds Utopian, but I'm wondering if they really mean the counties/districts that have reciprocal agreements with FVRL.

Eligibility for a library card
The following categories of individuals with adequate identification are eligible to register for library cards:

  *   All residents of the Library District.
  *   Non-residents of the Library District who pay taxes to support the Library District. This includes individuals who own a business or property located within the Library District but live elsewhere.
  *   Residents of other tax-supported public library jurisdictions such as individuals known as "Reciprocal Borrowers."
  *   Residents of areas where there is no tax-supported public library may register for a card after paying a household non-resident fee.
Otherwise, it is interesting that they are explicit in granting cards to nonresidents who are still part of the tax base. They are also limiting this to property/business owners - not those who are employed in the District, but live in a non-reciprocal area. That makes me think that they really intend the third clause to mean pre-arranged reciprocal areas.

Curiously,
Sarah

Check out our neighbors to the north at the Fort Vancouver Regional Library District for a different model: They don't charge fines, and they give a free card to anyone who lives within the jurisdiction of a tax-supported public library anywhere in the country.

Andr? Cossette's Humanism and Libraries is a concise but rigorous investigation into the foundations of librarianship-its definition and its aims. Philosophical and logical in its approach, it is intended to provide solid ground and unity for professional practice. Though the work was originally published in French in 1976 in Quebec by ASTED, Library Juice Press has found it to have enduring relevance and value, and has therefore made this English translation. The book includes a preface that makes the case for reading a work from the 1970s on library philosophy, and a set of "questions for reflection" following the text.

The Guide to Security Considerations and Practices for Rare Book, Manuscript, and Special Collection Libraries is the first such book intended specifically to address security in special collection libraries. Containing nineteen chapters, the book covers such topics as background checks, reading room and general building design, technical processing, characteristics and methods of thieves, materials recovery after a theft, and security systems. While other topics are touched upon, the key focus of this volume is on the prevention of theft of rare materials. The work is supplemented by several appendices, one of which gives brief biographies of recent thieves and another of which publishes Allen s important Blumberg Survey, which she undertook after that thief s conviction. The text is supported by illustrations, a detailed index, and an extensive bibliography.   The work, compiled and edited by Everett C. Wilkie, Jr., contains contributions from Anne Marie Lane, Jeffrey Marshall, Alvan Bregman, Margaret Tenney, Elaine Shiner, Richard W. Oram, Ann Hartley, Susan M. Allen, and Daniel J. Slive, all members of the ACRL Rare Books & Manuscripts Section (RBMS) and experts in rare materials and the security of these materials within special collections.  This work is essential reading for all those concerned with special collection security, from general library administrators to rare book librarians.

I had the privilege of working at FVRL as my first job out of library 
school. It was great to not have to deal with late fees. The question 
was periodically revisited, and each time an analysis was done it was 
found that the costs of implementing fines (develop cash handling 
procedures, invest in cashiering equipment, train staff, prepare for 
increased time with upset patrons) were found to be greater than the 
potential income.

Of course, the decision to *stop* charging late fees involves different 
questions. Can we afford the lost revenue? Will people become more 
careless with materials if we don't have fines? (as Dierdre said, the 
research says no--I don't have a citation either!) Will the customer 
service time and customer relations gains balance out the lost income?

Some of this depends on your patron base. Some communities have an 
ingrained attitude that not only do you get what you pay for, but that 
if it's free, it's not worth anything (or not as good). At FVRL, we were 
taught to avoid telling people (or putting on our publicity) that 
something was "free"--because it's not free, it takes money and effort 
and knowledge and expertise to deliver the materials, services, and 
programs that the library offers. It's just free of charge at point of 
service. :)

The flip side of FVRL's generous library card policy was that if you do 
*not* live in a place with a tax-supported library--including just 
outside the city limits in the "border" branch where I worked--you had 
to pay for a library card. This caused regular difficulties in my 
branch, since many of our regulars lived outside that jurisdictional 
border, and often couldn't afford the quarterly payment of their library 
card fee. We could give a card to someone who owns property in 
Connecticut, but not to someone renting a trailer in unincorporated 
Cowlitz County (five minutes' drive away). All the Lane County libraries 
know what I'm talking about! At FVRL we could offer people an 
Internet-only library card for free, but if they wanted to check out 
materials and lived outside our borders, they had to pay. There was no 
in-between (no limited-use card), IIRC. That policy may have changed 
since I left in 2009.

And now my lunch break is over and I can stop releasing overheated 
atmospheric contributions!

One point here that has been made is about the library being for people who
can't afford to buy books or rent movies. I disagree with that, libraries
are for anyone who is smart enough to know that they should not have to buy
every book or movie they want, and it makes thrifty sense to use the
library. Also, we offer so much more--classes, programming, meeting space,
and so on!

Disclaimer: This could be confusing, despite efforts to be clear. ?

Business Insights: Essential, which is the redesigned Business & Company Resource Center, launched in early July, but the automatic redirect to the new URL is not yet functional. If you chose to update the database URL listed on your library or consortium?s website (see the email from June 25th below), your patrons will get to Business Insights: Essential. If you chose to leave the Business & Company Resource Center URL in place and rely on the automatic redirect, your patrons will not get to Business Insights: Essential until the redirect works (but they will get to BCRC). Gale expects the automatic redirect to be functional within a few weeks and will alert me when it?s working.

The Gale support sites for Oregon library staff list your library?s URLs for both BCRC and BI:E. Once the automatic redirect is functional, a Gale rep will remove the URL for BCRC.

The URL will change, but the old URL will redirect to the new one. A Gale rep said that by July 2nd, or not long after, he will update the BCRC URL on the Gale support sites for Oregon library staff.

Greetings from The Oregon Encyclopedia.

Please see the attached press release from the Oregon Encyclopedia (The
OE), an on-line resource of Oregon history and culture. In partnership with
McMenamins, The OE continues its History Night series with a look back at
the people and events that have shaped our communities. Special guests and
historical images are a part of every event.

?Early Fishing on the Columbia River: From Native Americans to Commercial
Practices of the 1930s?

Presented by Steve Lehl and Chuck Rollins
Tuesday, July 31, 2012
6:30 p.m. Doors open at 5:30 p.m.
McMenamins Edgefield Power Station Theater, 2126 SW Halsey Street,
Troutdale, OR
Free and open to the public.

 Join us at the July Oregon Encyclopedia History Night to view a remarkable
collection of rarely seen images featuring the history of fishing on the
Columbia River and
its tributaries. Columbia Gorge historians, Chuck Rollins and Steve Lehl
will demonstrate with historic photos and old postcard images the evolution
of fishing on the Columbia from the 1860s into the 1930s. Through images of
fishing methods such as fishwheels, fish traps, horse seines, dipnets, and
gillnets, and of people fishing for salmon, sturgeon and smelt, they
chronicle the diversity of people, fishing practices and fish species, from
the mouth of the Columbia through the Gorge.

See the attached press releases for more details. For more information
please visit: www.oregonencyclopedia.org.

Our library is looking into the purchase of a new microforms scanner.  This scanner would mostly be for patron use, and primarily for looking at microfilm reels of newspapers.  We're interested in one of the newer models that hook up to a PC and would allow for emailing and downloading to storage devices. Has anyone out there made a recent (within the last two years) purchase of such a machine?  We'd like to hear if you're particularly happy with a purchase or if there are machines/service contracts to avoid.  If other parties are interested, I can share the responses to the questions.

The application filing period for Innovative Approaches to Literacy Program
(IAL) school literacy grants is now
open<http://apply07.grants.gov/apply/GetGrantFromFedgrants;jsessionid=LkpLP9yCYxPJvk6jrDQPvLpSlHlDBchJJ0ZJ1q0j0b8VPxR2mp6Z!-365260859?opportunity=ED-GRANTS-071112-001&agencycode=ED>,
the Department of Education announced today in the *Federal Register*. We
encourage school librarians to apply for the program grants, which can
range from $150,000-750,000. At least 50 percent of the $28.6 million is
designated for school librarians. The deadline to apply for the grant
funding is August 10, 2012, at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.

The literacy grant program is designed to support innovative literacy
programs for young children, increase student achievement by using school
libraries and motivate older children to read. According to the Department
of Education, the grants are to be used to "develop and improve literacy
skills for children and students from birth through 12th grade within the
attendance boundaries of high-need local educational agencies."

Local education agencies can use the funding to support school libraries
and purchase materials. The Department of Education highlighted the need
for school libraries in the literacy efforts in the program announcement:

Many schools and districts across the Nation do not have school libraries
that deliver high-quality literacy programming to children and their
families. Additionally, many schools do not have qualified library media
specialists and library facilities. Where facilities do exist, they are
often underresourced and lack adequate books and other materials. In many
communities, high-need children and students have limited access to
appropriate age- and grade-level reading material in their homes.

Please note: All interested parties must be registered for federal
grants<http://www.grants.gov/>in advance to apply for program grants.

CRS Resolution Introduced in the House
Posted on July 11,
2012<http://www.districtdispatch.org/2012/07/crs-resolution-introduced-in-the-house/>
by jmcgilvray |

Yesterday advances were made in improving transparency in the federal
government. Reps. Mike Quigley (IL-5) and Leonard Lance (NJ-07) introduced
the Congressional Research Service Electronic Accessibility Resolution of
2012 <http://hdl.loc.gov/loc.uscongress/legislation.112hres727>(House
Resolution 727), a resolution that creates a publicly available database of
Congressional Research Service (CRS) reports and would thereby "enhance our
democracy to provide citizens with access to unbiased and accurate CRS
documents on legislation and other critical issues before Congress".

This bipartisan resolution would provide public access to all CRS reports
that do not contain confidential information (in some cases redactions
could be made to allow portions of reports to be released). The resolution
would provide access to those who fund this research -the public - at a
price tag of $100 million a year.

The American Library Association commends Reps. Quigley and Lance, as well
as the resolution's co-sponsors; Reps. Jim Cooper (TN-5), Timothy V.
Johnson (IL-15) and Adam B. Schiff (CA-29), for taking this important step
to increasing transparency and improving access to publicly funded
government information. The ALA strongly supports this resolution and will
work towards its passage.

State Legislators Featured Storytime Guests at Local Library

West Slope Community Library Features
July 10 - Representative Tobias Read
July 17 - Senator Mark Hass

Washington County, Oregon: On Tuesday, July 10th Oregon State Representative Tobias Read will visit the West Slope Community Library as a guest "storyteller" for the Toddler Storytime and Oregon Senator Mark Hass will be the featured storyteller on Tuesday, July 17th. Toddler Time is held from 10:15 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. in the children's area of the library.

Both Read and Hass represent the residents of the surrounding West Slope area and have been invited to visit the library to learn about the latest offerings in early literacy services provided by the library, and to witness first hand how public libraries utilize Oregon Ready To Read funds (the only state funding allocated for public libraries).

According to Eva Calcagno, Director of the Washington County Cooperative Library Services (WCCLS), the West Slope Library primarily uses state Ready To Read funds to administer their annual Summer Reading program. Calcagno reports, "as we continue to educate the public about the importance of introducing both pre-readers and young readers to the rich resources available in the public library, we felt this offered a wonderful opportunity to showcase the libraries' services to the Senator and State Representative during their legislative recess. Reading through the summer months is vital to helping children prepare to enter school ready to read and ready to learn."

Parents of young children, Read and Hass will be right at home reading and engaging the active and curious minds of toddlers. When the Legislature is not in session, Read enjoys coaching youth basketball and mentoring for the Greenway Elementary SMART (Start Making A Reader Today) program. Hass is currently Chair of the Senate Committee on Education and General Government. And while in the House of Representatives, Hass was a key player on tax and education policy. His first bill passed into law (HB2421) created tax incentives for businesses to set up college scholarship programs for their employees. Hass has also served as board member on the Beaverton Library Foundation.

We invite parents and care givers with toddlers ages one and a half to three to attend one or both of the guest storyteller appearances. It offers the opportunity to meet and speak with your state and federal legislative representatives.

The Washington County Cooperative Library Services (WCCLS) includes the Banks Public Library, Beaverton City Library, Beaverton City Library @ Murray Scholls, Cedar Mill Community Library (and Bethany branch), Cornelius Public Library, Forest Grove City Library, Garden Home Community Library, Hillsboro Public Libraries (Main and Shute Park), North Plains Public Library, Sherwood Public Library, Tigard Public Library, Tualatin Public Library, West Slope Community Library, WCCLS Outreach to Homebound, Oregon College of Art and Craft and the Tuality Health Resource Center.

This is great.

I think that other libraries around the state also invited legislators to
their libraries.  It would be great to know what your experiences were as
well.

Here is a brief review of our recently-purchased ScanPro 2000, which we purchased from Linco without a service contract.

Reels that were nearly unreadable on a conventional reader look crisp on the ScanPro. It's also nice to be able to scan directly to pdf; we've started responding to obituary requests with email attachments. It's slightly easier to load film on to it than with a conventional reader, but the software interface could be better; I'll hazard that it takes most new users about 10 minutes to come to grips with it. One challenge is that fine horizontal film movement is controlled by dragging a bar on the computer screen, but vertical movement requires a push or pull on the slide tray. Also, when the film is scrolled it takes a moment for the image on the computer monitor to catch up. Because of this lag, looking through several days of headlines is faster on a conventional reader. I prefer the ScanPro to our older scanners, but I feel that it works better as a complement to a conventional reader than as a replacement.

Best,

Our library is looking into the purchase of a new microforms scanner.  This scanner would mostly be for patron use, and primarily for looking at microfilm reels of newspapers.  We're interested in one of the newer models that hook up to a PC and would allow for emailing and downloading to storage devices. Has anyone out there made a recent (within the last two years) purchase of such a machine?  We'd like to hear if you're particularly happy with a purchase or if there are machines/service contracts to avoid.  If other parties are interested, I can share the responses to the questions.

[Institute of Education Sciences - Newsflash]

NCES Releases New Data on Postsecondary Tuition, Fees and Degrees

[ipeds logo]Between 2009-10 and 2011-12, the average tuition and required fees at 4-year public institutions (after adjusting for inflation) increased more for in-state students (9 percent increase) than for out-of-state students (6 percent increase). During that same time period, 4-year nonprofit institutions increased overall at 4 percent . However, for-profit institutions reported no increase. This First Look presents findings from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) fall 2011 data collection, which included three survey components: institutional characteristics for 2011-12 -- such as degrees offered, type of program, application information, and tuition and other costs; the number and type of degrees conferred from July 2010 through June 2011; and 12-month enrollment data for the 2010-11 academic year.
Other findings include:

* In 2011-12, of the 7,398 Title IV institutions in the United States and other jurisdictions, 3,053 were classified as 4-year institutions, 2,332 were 2-year institutions, and the remaining 2,013 were less-than-2-year institutions.

* Institutions reported a 12-month unduplicated headcount enrollment totaling about 29.5 million individual students. Of these, roughly 25.6 million were undergraduates and approximately 3.9 million were graduate students.

Subject: [Libs-Or] Library cards for homeless/those without permanent
 address
In-Reply-To: <b6d17d1ed56c49bf6e865654ad247a33@cclsd.org>

The thing that keeps coming to my mind is that there is always going to 
be loss at a library.  People (even with valid addresses) can never 
return items just as easily as people without addresses. And it is 
really pretty easy to steal items from libraries if someone really wants 
to keep something.

I feel like if anyone (homeless or not) is willing to sign up for a 
library card and have their borrowing tracked, that they will honor the 
way the library works and be more concerned for upholding their 
privileges than if they are denied privileges, which may just lead them 
to taking things anyway and being less inclined to return them because 
there is no record of them having the items. This may be true even more 
for people like the homeless who are often not given a chance.

You just gotta trust people and life a little.

IMLS Director Susan Hildreth to Participate in Connect2Compete Announcement Monday, July 16

Washington, D.C. ? On Monday, July 16, 2012, FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski will join Department of Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, representatives from Connect2Compete, and the Institute of Museum and Library Services to announce an effort on digital literacy and job training as part of a national initiative to close the broadband adoption gap.

Connect2Compete is a national non-profit coalition to help narrow the digital divide by making high-speed Internet access, computers, educational and jobs content, and digital literacy training more accessible for millions of Americans without home connectivity. The program recently announced the first-ever, multi-media, multilingual, nationwide ad campaign on digital literacy with the Ad Council, which will launch in early 2013.

According to studies, one-third of all Americans? 100 million people ? have not adopted broadband high-speed Internet at home and 66 million Americans lack digital literacy skills. Through Connect2Compete, the public-private partnership seeks to overcome the top obstacles to broadband adoption, including digital literacy, relevance, and cost.

WHAT: FCC Chairman Genachowski and Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis will visit an employment center in Arlington, VA, for an announcement related to digital literacy and job training.

Subject: [Libs-Or] Thoughtful replies to Microfilm Scanner question
Message-ID: <168D778C3DCD4D488CB30AE5017DE4904BD53BFE@BLUPRD0611MB424.namprd06.prod.outlook.com>

Thank you to everyone who replied to my question about microfilm scanners.  The majority of respondents praised the ScanPro 2000 but a few had other favorites.  I compiled the responses and they are here for you to peruse should your library also be in the market for similar equipment.

Compilation of Microfilm Scanner Data Responses July 2012

Perry from Baker County: We have had a ScanPro2000<http://www.e-imagedata.com/> unit for about 3 years.  We're very satisfied, have had no significant problems with the unit or software.  It does take some practice getting used to, but staff & patrons find the digital enhancement benefits [large vertical screen, zoom, reverse image, brighten whole pages or just selected areas, save as digital file] are worth the effort.

>From Margaret at Eugene:  We have one of these snazzy microform readers and love it.  The brand is Image Data, it's the Scan Pro 2000.  Since our public printing is part of the Envisionware system for making internet reservations and printing, we configured the PC connected to Scan Pro for that system.  However, it could simply be connected to a dedicated printer just for the PC/Scan Pro.  And of course one can save on USB drive.  I love the ease of use, onscreen directions and images to walk the patron through everything from threading the film (or using fiche) to manipulating the image, saving, printing, etc.  Being more versatile does mean more complex, so we did have to have staff training.  Savvy patrons do fine once we start them.

David from StreamNet wrote: We have a Cannon MS 300 that we really like. Naturally it is slow on the initial reading and you have to line up each page/sheet and download them individually but the document is read and converted to a PDF quickly. We are very happy to have it the few times we have had to use it as pdf's are easier to read and manipulate than hardcopies. Besides, most of our patrons prefer pdf's these days.

Reita from Seaside: We recently purchased a microfilm reader/printer called the (wait for it) ScanPro 2000.  It took us three years to raise the funds and I did a lot of research.  It hooks up to a computer and prints from our networked printer. Although it works great, I had problems with the salesman.  When he was training our staff, I kept asking where the certain features were that were advertised and he said they were "extra".  After thinking about it for a few days, I contacted him and told him that I was not told they were "extra" when I placed the order and wanted to know how much "extra" they were.  He said $3000. My City Manager told me that was bogus and to send the machine back. When I told the salesman we were sending the machine back and wanted a full refund, he said we could have the extras for "only" $375.  When I told him we were still sending the machine back, he told us we could have the extras for free.  So, I cannot comment on the ScanPro 2000 as much as I can comment on the salesman.  Be careful when ordering!

Charles from Corvallis-Benton County:  Here is a brief review of our recently-purchased ScanPro 2000, which we purchased from Linco without a service contract. Reels that were nearly unreadable on a conventional reader look crisp on the ScanPro. It's also nice to be able to scan directly to pdf; we've started responding to obituary requests with email attachments. It's slightly easier to load film on to it than with a conventional reader, but the software interface could be better; I'll hazard that it takes most new users about 10 minutes to come to grips with it. One challenge is that fine horizontal film movement is controlled by dragging a bar on the computer screen, but vertical movement requires a push or pull on the slide tray. Also, when the film is scrolled it takes a moment for the image on the computer monitor to catch up. Because of this lag, looking through several days of headlines is faster on a conventional reader. I prefer the ScanPro to our older scanners, but I feel that it works better as a complement to a conventional reader than as a replacement.

Julie from Jackson County Library Services: We have 2 Canon digital microform readers, with a third on order. I love them!!! The first one we got is a Canon 300. The second one is a Canon 300 II.

I also do Interlibrary Loan, and have regular users who request a lot of microfilm, and they love being able to use the digital readers and scan to a flash drive, or send to their email. I also have some regular patrons who use them with our own microfilm/fiche and one just hooks his computer to the CPU, so it goes directly to his files.

Staff uses them for obituaries, and other requests from the microfilm, and we can send directly to a patron's email, instead of making copies, and then sending through the mail. That is wonderful!!

The digital are exactly like to older Canon scanners we have/had, so loading and using are exactly the same, the only difference is when making "copies", since it is done through the computer instead.
The scanners have carriages for both film (16mm, 35mm), and fiche, and they do not have to be taken off to use one or the other.

Usually the printing can be made better on the digital (depending on the what the original is like), and we can do framing, so obits/articles can often be made larger.

No more room is needed with the digital, if you had a printer hooked up to the microfilm reader you have now. There is the CPU, monitor and mouse, then the digital reader. We have our digitals hooked up to the LTP1 printer that we use for internet printing, so patrons can print right away, if they want to, but very few do.

We also recently purchased a ScanPro 2000 from Linco. It completely 
replaced our conventional reader. I pretty much agree with Charles's 
assessment, although we haven't experienced the lag in the monitor 
catching up. The software interface is clunky but customizable.

On another note, even if you factor in the space for the computer 
terminal, it has a much smaller physical footprint than our last reader. 
Since it's connected to a computer terminal, it can also theoretically 
be set to print to any printer on your network. The ability to save 
snapshots of the pages directly as PDFs or JPGs has also been really 
helpful when responding to email obituary inquiries, as we don't have to 
mail or scan anything.

Cheers!

I'd clarify that to say 10 minutes or less for users who are already 
comfortable with a mouse.  We've have an older population so it's harder 
for some of them.  For advanced features there is a bit more of a 
learning curve and some staff have exhibited avoidance tactics...

We do see a lag time whenever adjustments are made to the view 
(brightness, contrast, focus, etc.) so we do have to warn users to wait 
a few seconds to let the changes finalize. You can visibly see the 
changes wash down the screen so it is easy to see how long to wait. I 
assume that relates to the graphics card and memory available on the 
hosting PC so your experience may vary.

I would emphasize the need to place it on a solid and level table, ours 
isn't so any movement by the user or the printer can jar the scanner, 
thus moving your image out of alignment.

That said, it has been very convenient to be able to email the scans to 
the requesting user.

Message-ID: <CAK0jCBEe_fXvyYuRibXHcCssrDobrsQTwODa3_xG25V=Had3Ug@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

L-net, Oregon's Statewide Digital Reference Service
(http://www.oregonlibraries.net), recognizes Meggie Wright, a student
in Emporia State University?s SLIM program, for her excellent digital
reference work while staffing the service in June 2012. Meggie?s
transcript is online at

http://www.oregonlibraries.net/notable

In this transcript, a Human Resources Intern for a national company
asked for help in finding resources to diversify the company?s
workforce.  In addition to needing resources in the Portland area, the
intern needed help finding resources in other large cities.  Meggie
found resources and continued to check in with the patron to confirm
that the resources she was suggesting met the intern?s needs.  The
resources that she found include businesses, government agencies,
non-profits, and a Diversity Employment Day Career Fair.  The intern,
who had been searching on her own, was impressed with the resources
that Meggie found.  Besides sending Oregon resources to the intern,
Meggie found resources outside of Oregon and coached the intern in how
to refine a phrase in order to get the best possible results from a
search engine.  Meggie also offered to put the question into L-net?s
email follow up system so that other reference librarians could take
the time to search for additional resources.

The intern was clearly grateful, saying ??you are honestly the nicest,
greatest help. Thank you for taking the time to do this.?  The L-net
Quality Team is also grateful for the care that Meggie took to answer
this patron?s question so thoroughly.

Meggie will be graduating from Emporia?s program in August and has
been staffing L-net as part of our volunteer program.  This transcript
was sent to the Quality Team by an L-net librarian who thought that it
should be considered for a Notable Transcript Award.  Although she
hasn't completed the library program yet, Meggie is being recognized
by her future colleagues as the talented reference librarian that she
is.

As an expression of our appreciation, Meggie was presented with
flowers and a certificate.  Please join us in congratulating her!

Message-ID: <C88E49F2060F504C96A2B582A86E06CA31434642@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local>

If you haven't seen it yet, please take a look at Stephanie Lind's article in the July 15, 2012 OLA Hotline: http://olahotline.wordpress.com/2012/07/15/july-15-2012-vol-18-no-14-ola-news/   (scroll to the bottom). Stephanie is the Outreach Services Manager at Washington County Cooperative Library Service and she details the partnerships that WCCLS has created over the years. Very interesting information.
I also just heard about a training resource from the Missouri State Library focused on patrons with mental health issues. I realize that homelessness does not equate to mental health issues but they do sometimes appear together:

"Welcome to Librarian411.org<http://www.librarian411.org>, a free web-based training for library staff, supported by the Missouri Department of Mental Health<http://www.dmh.mo.gov> and the Missouri State Library<http://www.sos.mo.gov/library/> with funding from the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA)<http://www.sos.mo.gov/library/development/grants.asp>.

This library training has been developed to help front-line library workers better serve patrons with mental illness and/or developmental disabilities. The training was created using input from focus groups consisting of public library staff members, mental health consumers and mental health professionals. The content of the program reflects many hours of collaboration and interaction between Department of Mental Health (DMH) librarians and the "in-the-trenches" front-line workers of many Missouri libraries.

We hope visitors to this site will realize the vital role public libraries play in the lives of persons with mental illness and/or developmental disabilities. Click on the video section to experience the training. Also, visit our links and handout sections to learn more."

 Decades, 1974-2006

[Institute of Education Sciences - Newsflash]

NCES Releases Trends Among Young Adults Over Three Decades, 1974-2006

This report describes patterns of continuity and change over time in four areas of the transition to adulthood among young adults as measured 2 years after their senior year of high school. The four areas are postsecondary enrollment, labor force roles, family formation, and civic engagement. The analysis population is spring-term high school seniors in 1972, 1980, 1992, and 2004. The data come from four separate NCES-sponsored studies: the National Longitudinal Study of the High School Class of 1972 (NLS:72), High School and Beyond (HS&B), the National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988 (NELS:88), and the Education Longitudinal Study of 2002 (ELS:2002).

Findings include:

* Overall, the percentage of young adults enrolled in postsecondary courses 2 years after their senior year of high school was higher in 2006 (62 percent) than it was in 1974 (40 percent).

* When comparing the postsecondary experiences of high school seniors in spring 1972 with those in spring 2004, the percentage of those who had ever enrolled in a postsecondary institution within 2 years of their scheduled high school graduation was 63 percent in 1974 and 78 percent in 2006.

* Among young adults who ever attended a postsecondary institution, the percentage who worked for pay while enrolled was higher in 2006 (78 percent) than in 1974 (63 percent).

* Across the four cohorts, the most common living arrangement for young adults approximately 2 years out of high school was to live with their parents. The percentage of young adults living with their parents was 39 percent in 1974, 50 percent in 1982, 51 percent in 1994, and 46 percent in 2006.

* At all four time points studied (1974, 1982, 1994, and 2006), a higher percentage of females reported being married than males did. For females, the percentages were 34 percent, 16 percent, 10 percent, and 6 percent, respectively, while the comparable percentages for males were 18 percent, 7 percent, 5 percent, and 2 percent, respectively.

* Within each of the four cohorts, there was a positive association between expected levels of educational attainment and reported rates of voting. In each cohort, the percentages of those who had ever voted were higher among those who expected to attain a bachelor's degree or some higher level of education than among those who only expected to graduate from high school or less. For example, in 1974, 50 percent of those who expected to attain a high school diploma or less voted, compared with 72 percent of those who expected to be college graduates and 77 percent who expected to complete a graduate or professional degree. In 2006, the comparable figures were 35 percent, 61 percent, and 66 percent, respectively.

Subject: [Libs-Or] Learn about online summer reading program products
	10/3/2012
Message-ID: <640435851FD7CB4AB3C4BE0D1963BA243146DA52@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local>

This winter I worked with the chairs of OLA's Children Services Division (CSD) and Oregon Young Adult Network (OYAN) to explore whether or not libraries in Oregon are interested in a statewide contract for software that would enable them to put their summer reading programs online. We learned that while many Oregon libraries are interested, a significant number are not. Therefore the State Library, CSD, and OYAN have decided not to pursue a statewide contract for summer reading software.

Due to the fact that many libraries are interested in summer reading software and may be able to form a consortium to get a better price, I have scheduled a webinar with one summer reading software vendor for any of you who are interested-details below. After this webinar, interested libraries will be responsible for any next steps. If some libraries are interested in exploring a consortium, then they will have to take the lead on facilitating that effort. Libraries will also be responsible for scheduling webinars or product demos with other vendors of summer reading software.

Evanced Summer Reader webinar
October 3, 2012
2:00pm-3:00pm

This webinar will give libraries across Oregon the opportunity to get a general overview of a whole suite of products to help keep their libraries at the center of their communities.  Used by thousands of libraries, the Summer Reader, Events and Room Reserve software ensure your patrons know what's happening and are able to sign up for reading programs, events, and even request rooms online or via a mobile device.  Learn about the new products just coming into the market: Peek-a-Book Total Access provides high-end video teasers of the best of children's literature, and MarkIt is a book sale management system to truly make your book sales a solid revenue stream. This one-hour demo will touch on all these products, and give you a taste of the possibilities in your libraries.

I will email out the URL and login instructions closer to the date of the webinar.

Hey Everyone,

Sorry for the shorter notice than usual. We'll be hosting a webinar one week from today with Stephanie Vance. With the congressional recess coming up, I hope many of our members will be able to get their legislators into the library. This webinar should help.

As always, this webinar is free and will be archived on District Dispatch. Please share widely and let me know if you have any questions. Thanks so much!

They've Got to See it to Believe It: Getting Decision Makers Into Your Library


Join us for a Webinar on July 24

Believe it or not, "build it and they will come" works with both libraries and baseball fields. It just takes a little effort to get those who determine the fate of your funding in the door.  This effort is always worthwhile because studies show that in-person visits are critical for effective influence, particularly in an election year.  With the last three months of the election season (phew!) around the corner, now's the time to press council members, legislators, administrators, school board members -- in fact, anyone you can think of -- to visit.  And if you're concerned about whether election rules restrict your ability to be involved in advocacy at this time of year, don't be!  We'll go over the rules of engagement just to be sure we're all on the same page.  Join us to learn the secret strategies for getting decision makers in the door -- and eventually agreeing with you!

Message-ID: <FB418B043FBD914C91E5BACC372D48AFB5C9FD@exchange.snf.clatsopcc.local>

Sadly, we are needing to weed our collection of New York Times microfilm.  Would anyone be interested in acquiring all or part of it?  It covers Jan/1950 to Dec/2004 inclusive, but is missing one roll (Dec. 1-3, 1962).

We will box them up and ship them, probably via truck freight (though if you prefer some other method we'll do our best to accommodate ).  We only ask for reimbursement of the freight charges.  Pick up is also an option, but you'll need a small U-haul truck.

Hoping someone will give them a new life and new home...

Thanks,

Subject: [Libs-Or] Automatic Redirect to Business Insights: Essentials Now
	Works (Gale)
Message-ID: <B60CC3E64AD0D941AA792F1955E3D5C3313AC781@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local>

Business Insights: Essentials, which is the redesigned Business & Company Resource Center, launched in early July, and now the automatic redirect works. That means that if, in your library or consortium?s database listings, you chose to leave the Business & Company Resource Center URL in place and to rely on the automatic redirect, your patrons will now get to Business Insights: Essentials.

While not required, you have the option of updating the database URL so you do not rely on the automatic redirect. The Gale support sites for Oregon library staff list your library or consortium?s URL for BI:E.
            http://galesupport.com/oregon/
http://www.galesupport.com/oregonacad/

You might check to make sure of a few things:

?         Is the redirect working if you did not update the Business & Company Resource Center URL?

?         When you click on PowerSearch or the tool feature within most databases called ?change databases? or ?change resources? and get to the Gale common menu (the list of databases available via the statewide contract), is Business Insights: Essentials in that list? (It will be in the bottom section called Additional Products.)

?         If you specifically reference Business & Company Resource Center on your library website, have you changed the name to Business Insights: Essentials?

?         If you highlight databases with matching icons, have you changed the BCRC one to BI:E? http://www.gale.cengage.com/images/database_icons/

Recall that there are several upcoming free Gale webinars about the new Business Insights: Essentials. To register, visit the national Gale webinar calendar, click on the event that interests you, click on Register, click on Register again, & fill out and submit the form: http://support.gale.com (bottom of middle column).

?         Wednesday, August 1st at 11am Pacific

?         Monday, August 13th at 7am Pacific

?         Wednesday, August 22nd at 10am Pacific

Subject: [Libs-Or] IMLS Announces Grant to Identify Library E-Book Strategies

IMLS Announces Grant to Identify Library E-Book Strategies

IMLS Announces Grant to Identify Library E-Book Strategies

The rise of e-books is one of the most important developments in public libraries in this decade.

Washington, DC-Today the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) announced a $99,957 grant to OCLC for "The Big Shift: Advancing Public Library Participation in Our Digital Future." The purpose of the grant is to more fully understand the challenges that U.S. public libraries face in providing e-book content to borrowers.

"Now is the time to work together so that the rise of e-books does not result in a society where content is actually less accessible than it was in the era of print," said IMLS Director Susan Hildreth."As a society we depend on the free flow of information and ideas to strengthen our economy and our democracy. I am confident that we will find new strategies that embrace exciting new digital innovations and continue to deliver essential library services."

The rapid increase in e-book ownership in the past year alone has created an even greater demand for e-content at U.S. public libraries. In fact the number of public libraries that offer e-books has doubled in the past five years-to 76 percent from 38 percent, according to a new American Library Association report<http://www.ala.org/news/sites/ala.org.news/files/content/mediapresscenter/presskits/PLFTAS%20KEY%20FINDINGS_FINAL.pdf>. Thirty-nine percent of libraries also offer e-readers for check-out to their patrons.

A new study released by the Pew Research Center's Internet and American Life Project<http://www.pewinternet.org/topics/Libraries.aspx> identifies some of the opportunities and challenges faced by public libraries for this growing line of service. The report states that 12 percent of people borrowed an e-book from their libraries in 2012. Yet the report documents significant difficulties:

  *   56 percent of e-book borrowers from libraries said that at one point or another they had tried to borrow a particular book and found that the library did not carry it.
  *   52 percent of e-book borrowers said that at one point or another they discovered there was a waiting list to borrow the book.
  *   18 percent of e-book borrowers said that at one point or another they found that an e-book they were interested in was not compatible with the e-reading device they were using.

The study also reports a wide range of library concerns with the cost and availability of titles often related to terms set by publishers.

"Public libraries provide equal opportunity to their communities," said Patrick Losinski, CEO of the Columbus Metropolitan Library in Columbus, OH and advisor to the program. "And in a digital age, this must include digital content. This program complements ongoing work to engage public library leaders in developing specific strategies that will restore public access to commercial content in any format."

This award builds on an IMLS-supported public library discussion hosted by Martin Gomez at the Los Angeles Public Library in November 2011. Gomez (University of Southern California) and Brian Bannon (Chicago Public Library) will also provide advice on the program's grant activities, which will be closely coordinated with the American Library Association's Digital Content and Libraries Working Group, chaired by Sari Feldman (Cuyahoga County Public Library) and Robert Wolven (Columbia University).

The purpose of the IMLS award is to ensure that all Americans continue to have access to commercially produced content through their local public libraries even as formats change. Grant activities will include the following:

  *   Investigating the nature and extent of challenges public libraries are facing in this area, and identifying possible solutions
  *   A convening of public library leaders and others to set specific strategies to ensure public access to digital content
  *   Reporting on strategies that all public libraries can use to advance their own work in local communities

"Our members tell us that the primary concern in public libraries today is keeping communities connected to information and communication technologies, and to content as it shifts to digital formats," said Cathy De Rosa, Global Vice President of Marketing for OCLC. "We appreciate continued IMLS investment in research and support for public libraries as they work to ensure equal access for all."

About the Institute of Museum and Library Services
The Institute of Museum and Library Services is the primary source of federal support for the nation's 123,000 libraries and 17,500 museums. Through grant making, policy development, and research, we help communities and individuals thrive through broad public access to knowledge, cultural heritage, and lifelong learning.

Message-ID: <79182DEA2A9EBD459F20AD5CB90FEAA50FB6325CC1@Exchange.orcity.org>

Hi all you management types in Portland area (and beyond):
We invite you to gather for a hour or so of scintillating conversation, and coffee too, as we ponder topics we have in common including libraries. Psych! That is the main topic, but only so you can justify it to your boss. This month we will meet in a more southern part of our storied metro area, in order that we might entice participants who keep saying they'd come if only we'd move our meeting spot and to help expedite me on my journey to Salem for a meeting (note to Pam, Colleen, Dan, etc.: we can go to PLD in one car if you want). Please join us; these informal meetings have turned out to be treasure troves of ideas and great collegiality.

Questions? I'm sure I'm leaving something out. I know you'll let me know...

Hope to see you there! Mo

Peet's Coffee
Bridgeport Village
Building G, 7471 SW Bridgeport Road
Tigard, OR 97224
(503) 684-2726



Our original message from March, 2012:



-Are you the head honcho or in management at a small to middle sized metro area public library?



-Would you like to connect with your colleagues more often on issues that are common to all of us, from security to programs to e-books?



-Would you like to talk about how we can help each other more by collaborating in new and old ways?



-Can you spare an hour every so often to share and bond over coffee?



Then join Mo Cole and Abigail Elder at Coava Coffee Roasters at 1300 SE Grand Avenue on March 30 at 8:00 for some fun, interesting, and hopefully stimulating conversation.

FREE Gaylord Shelving

The Oregon Tech Library in Klamath Falls, Oregon, has some 'fixed periodical shelves' to give away.  Interested parties are responsible for all freight and moving costs, and arrangements.  We would be able to pack them on pallets, but our campus facilities will charge us for this service, and we would need to be reimbursed for those costs as well.

Included:

*        135 fixed periodical shelves.

*        270 fixed periodical end brackets.

*        All necessary screws and nuts to assemble 135 shelves.

These shelves should fit any Gaylord, or Gaylord-type, library cantilever shelving on frames 36 inches wide and with shelves hanging on slots measuring 35.5 inches on center, slot to slot.  The end brackets fit slots on 6-inch centers top to bottom.  See attached PDF schematic.

These shelf-parts are expensive in the Gaylord catalog, so even paying the freight and moving costs is a bargain.  Go here<http://www.gaylord.com/adblock.asp?abid=2197&search_by=desc&search_for=steel%20shelving%20accessories&mpc=WW> to see Gaylord catalog for these.  These "Steel Shelving Accessories - Fixed Display Shelves" go for about $40.00 apiece in Gaylord.

http://www.gaylord.com/adblock.asp?abid=2197&search_by=desc&search_for=steel%20shelving%20accessories&mpc=WW

Contact me if you would like more information, or are interested in having these.  We will only be making these available for a short while.  If there's no interest in them, then we will send to scrap yard.

Library staff could promote this on their library website, near the OPACs or circulation desks, via social media feeds, etc. The promotional section has sample copy for blogs, newsletters, and campus newspapers.

For better or worse, I didn't see this requirement of nominees until I browsed the sample copy section of the promotion page.

"Each nominee must be a librarian with a master's degree from a program accredited by the ALA in library and information studies or a master's degree with a specialty in school library media from an educational unit accredited by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education.

Eva and West Slope Community Library were great inspiration and motivation for me. I got on state web site and contacted Oregon City's representatives and both agreed to come read at our pre-school story time. Representative Kennemer is coming on July 31 and Senator Olsen is coming on August 7. Here is our press release that just went out; I borrowed heavily from Eva's attachment. I am also attaching our flyers which I think are darn cute. We are really looking forward to this; it was super easy; and now I am wondering why I have not been doing this for years. Thanks for the kick in the pants, Eva and WSCL!

Recently the OLA Legislative Committee urged public libraries to contact their legislators over the summer and invite them to visit the library, learn what Ready To Read Grants were supporting, do a guest storytime, etc.  West Slope Community Library followed through on this and two legislators quickly accepted invitations to visit the library and participate in toddler time!  Who woulda thunk it?  Katie Anderson asked me to forward our press release to libs-or in case any other libraries want to do so - feel free to use it as a template.

State Legislators Featured Storytime Guests at Local Library

West Slope Community Library Features
July 10 - Representative Tobias Read
July 17 - Senator Mark Hass

Washington County, Oregon: On Tuesday, July 10th Oregon State Representative Tobias Read will visit the West Slope Community Library as a guest "storyteller" for the Toddler Storytime and Oregon Senator Mark Hass will be the featured storyteller on Tuesday, July 17th. Toddler Time is held from 10:15 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. in the children's area of the library.

Both Read and Hass represent the residents of the surrounding West Slope area and have been invited to visit the library to learn about the latest offerings in early literacy services provided by the library, and to witness first hand how public libraries utilize Oregon Ready To Read funds (the only state funding allocated for public libraries).

According to Eva Calcagno, Director of the Washington County Cooperative Library Services (WCCLS), the West Slope Library primarily uses state Ready To Read funds to administer their annual Summer Reading program. Calcagno reports, "as we continue to educate the public about the importance of introducing both pre-readers and young readers to the rich resources available in the public library, we felt this offered a wonderful opportunity to showcase the libraries' services to the Senator and State Representative during their legislative recess. Reading through the summer months is vital to helping children prepare to enter school ready to read and ready to learn."

Parents of young children, Read and Hass will be right at home reading and engaging the active and curious minds of toddlers. When the Legislature is not in session, Read enjoys coaching youth basketball and mentoring for the Greenway Elementary SMART (Start Making A Reader Today) program. Hass is currently Chair of the Senate Committee on Education and General Government. And while in the House of Representatives, Hass was a key player on tax and education policy. His first bill passed into law (HB2421) created tax incentives for businesses to set up college scholarship programs for their employees. Hass has also served as board member on the Beaverton Library Foundation.

We invite parents and care givers with toddlers ages one and a half to three to attend one or both of the guest storyteller appearances. It offers the opportunity to meet and speak with your state and federal legislative representatives.

The Washington County Cooperative Library Services (WCCLS) includes the Banks Public Library, Beaverton City Library, Beaverton City Library @ Murray Scholls, Cedar Mill Community Library (and Bethany branch), Cornelius Public Library, Forest Grove City Library, Garden Home Community Library, Hillsboro Public Libraries (Main and Shute Park), North Plains Public Library, Sherwood Public Library, Tigard Public Library, Tualatin Public Library, West Slope Community Library, WCCLS Outreach to Homebound, Oregon College of Art and Craft and the Tuality Health Resource Center.

Why All Librarians Should be Vocal Advocates
Posted on July 18,

by Sheketoff <http://www.districtdispatch.org/author/sheketoff/> |
[image: Nancy Pelosi]

Photo by Talk Radio News Service

Today, I had the opportunity to attend "Women 2020: How Women Are Reshaping
the Economy, Politics and the World," an event hosted by the National
Journal magazine focused on bringing influential women in Washington
together to discuss the evolving role of women in the economy, policy and
politics.

Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi headlined the event, and several
women leaders spoke at the event, including Anu Bhagwati from the Service
Women's Action Network, Margaret Ann Hamburg from the Food and Drug
Administration, and Rand Construction CEO Linda Rabbitt.

At one point during the event, Pelosi told the audience about the weekly
Tuesday dinners that she would have with several Democratic Members of
Congress, including Sen. Barbara Boxer and Rep. Barbara Kennelly. At these
dinners, they would meet to talk about different issues (with the men at
the table dominating the conversation), she said. On one particular
evening, all of the men discussed the days that their children were born.
Pelosi mentioned that at no point during the conversation did the men at
the table ask the women--who had given birth to ten children between
them--about their personal experiences giving birth.

While Pelosi shared the story to encourage women in the audience to speak
up for themselves and to share their own experiences without being
prompted, I found that the core message of her advice should be known by
all librarians: Don't wait to be empowered, don't wait for someone to ask
you about your own experiences. We need to speak up when policymakers
discuss issues that we know and care about, be it education, literacy or
technology.

In her interview with the District
Dispatch<http://www.districtdispatch.org/2012/07/advocacy-spotlight-sara-kelly-johns-encourages-school-librarians-to-find-ways-to-weekly-market-their-libraries/>,
school library veteran Sara Kelly Johns said that all librarians should
have their own elevator speeches, saying, "Every librarian needs a
message--it needs to be on the tip of your tongue, and it needs to be
deliberate and continuous." I am encouraging all librarians to empower
themselves today by speaking up for libraries when opportunities arise and
being prepared at all times to promote their passion.

Is this a standard sort of printing job and maybe any printer could

Greetings:
 
I got a lot of wonderful suggestion - thank you, Liz, Jeremy, Alan,
Becky, and um - did I miss someone? - I think I did - apologies!!
 
Here's the list I've compiled so far - and feel free to send other
suggestions - I can update:
 
1) This local biz specializes in wedding invites, but would likely be
able to make a referral
Ovation Papers: they sell and work with small printers on lots of things
paper: http://www.oblationpapers.com/
 
2) Morel Ink:  www.morelink.biz  (formerly Witham & Dickey) which is
located in SE Portland.
 
3) myownlabels.com: http://www.myownlabels.com/bookplates
They have "bricks and mortar" (and 27 employees!!) in PDX:
http://www.myownlabels.com/about/
 
4) And, only in Portland... Phantom Chicken!
http://phantomchicken.com/index.html
Their "flatstock" gallery shows business cards, greeting cards, and much
more - I bet (but don't know for sure) that a bookplate would be
"do-able": http://phantomchicken.com/deploy/pcPortfolio11.html
 
5) There are some custom printing/design ads out on Craigslist - might
be worth a try. And, of course, the attorney could post their WISH to
Craigslist and likely have it come true!
 
6) Maybe someone at IPRC would have an idea? http://www.iprc.org/
 
7) I used a Martha Stewart template and VistaPrint and they turned out
beautifully. But supporting local printers is an admirable thing:
http://www.marthastewart.com/269870/homemade-bookplates
http://www.vistaprint.com
 
8) I would recommend contacting someone at the Em-Space letterpress
print collective in Portland. These are all talented local artists, who
do phenomenal work.

Greetings everyone!

LITA is offering a live, online, four-lecture course: "Building Web Applications with HTML5, CSS3, and Javascript: An Introduction to HTML5"

Date/Times:
Live, synchronous lectures 11:00 am - 1:00 pm CST

  *       August 6: HTML5 Introduction; Creating a Markup Foundation
  *       August 8: CSS3 Introduction; Designing a Look and Feel
  *       August 10: Working with Javascript APIs; Making Your App Interactive
  *       August 13: Future of HTML5

Costs:

  *   LITA Member: $135
  *   ALA Member: $195

Description:
Geolocation, Native video, Offline storage, Semantic markup elements, Responsive web design, Canvas elements, Voice input, Drag and Drop, Opacity, Gradients... HTML5 (a generic term which includes new HTML tags, enhanced CSS styles/behaviors, and new Javascript APIs) has been released and is changing the way web developers work. With wide support in mobile browsers and the latest browser releases from Google and Firefox, HTML5 is poised to be the technology that will help build the next version of the Web.

In this workshop, we'll look at some of the possibilities, trends, and enhancements that HTML5, CSS3, and the new Javascript APIs enable. As a workshop deliverable, we'll talk through the specifics of implementation and work through building a prototype HTML5 application (e.g., http://goo.gl/GA2vH). (Note: The course will be a mix of lecture and demos alongside hands-on exercises in building the prototype application.)

Complete information can be found here: http://www.ala.org/lita/learning/online/HTML5

OLA Children's Services Division and Salem Public Library Present:
Showcase of Performers
9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, September 29
Loucks Auditorium, Salem Public Library
Finding high quality children?s performances to bring to your library
or school has just become easier.  The 2012 Showcase of Performers
allows audience members to see a five-minute preview of the work of a
range of northwest performers suitable for children and families. As
with previous showcases, the day will highlight magicians, musicians,
storytellers, animal acts, creative dramatics, jugglers, clowns,
authors, and others who specialize in entertaining and educating
children. 
 
A $10 registration fee per adult covers the cost of a manual with
information sheets on each performer, including pictures.  The fee also
includes morning coffee and treats.  Although there will be a lunch
break, plan to bring your lunch, so you have more opportunity to visit
with the hottest performers.  Children are welcome to attend at no
charge.
 
Preregistration is required online beginning in mid-August at the
Oregon Library Association?s website at www.olaweb.org/csd/. More
information is available from Karen Fischer at Salem Public Library at
at kfischer at cityofsalem.net or by calling 503-588-6039.

Hello,
A friend of mine who works for Consumer Opinion Services asked me to let people know about a survey they are doing in partnership with MCL about peoples' library experiences. A write-up about it is below, with a link. 
Thank you!
Ellen


Multnomah County Library wants to hear from you!!
 

 Consumer Opinion Services is a local market research firm, and we're 
partnering with the Multnomah County Library to hear from Portland-area 
men and women about their likes and dislikes about the library.
  

 We're looking for parents, educators, and even some kids to come tell 
us about their library experiences. If you?re interested in joining us, 
simply follow this link to take a brief survey, and if you qualify we?ll
 contact you within 72 hours to see about inviting you!
 http://consumeropinionservices.com:5000/sw/wchost.asp?st=l4163
 

  On behalf of ourselves here at Consumer Opinion Services and the folks
 at Multnomah County library, thanks for reading, and remember: your 
opinion counts!

I wanted to fill it out and say that they should form a Library District
but Newport doesn't seem to be in the Portland area. ;-)

talked to Vailey Oehlke, our director, to confirm that.  Please do not
respond to this survey.  We don't know anything about this and you could

My apologies to you Ellen, and to the good people at Consumer Opinion
Services.  Because this wasn't posted by an MCL employee from an MCL
address, and because there was no mention of the grant it relates to,
Vailey and I didn't recognize that it was legit.

We will work on the communication protocols on our end!  Meantime, thanks
for your efforts to do a good deed.

Message-ID: <CA+B8A8MikZKH7ZJ=DLzUYTqrxyhjkaGos7tHJP4t550KJxnH8g@mail.gmail.com>

I want to clarify for everyone on libs-or that as part of Multnomah County
Library's current year Library Services and Technology Grant - Evolving
Homework - we've engaged the services of Consumer Opinion Services to
facilitate five focus groups within our community to learn more about how
school-age students and their parents, educators, and school library staff
approach and engage in homework and the resources of their public library.

The grant coordinator is speaking with Consumer Opinion Services to let
them know we do not want to recruit from within the library community but
rather the greater patron base that we serve. My apologies for any
confusion this positing created. I'm more than happy to share the results
of our work with the greater Oregon library community when our
recommendations are complete.

Best,
Katie

Subject: [Libs-Or] Reviews for "Native Peoples - A to Z"
Message-ID: <CAF-idW7fCOBuA2_VsPDHi99xOyQcVjEHcMEwhJd9ceXdGAZtew@mail.gmail.com>

There is a good sale on right now for "Native Peoples - A to Z:  A
Reference Guide to the native Peoples of the Western Hemisphere" but it
would still take a major bite out of a small library's book budget to
purchase.  The library has a small but growing Native American collection
that is needed to serve its community.  This set, on the face, looks like
something that would be a good addition to the library collection but the
only review that I can find is a rather scathing review on Amazon (
http://www.amazon.com/Native-Peoples-Reference-Western-Hemisphere/dp/1878592734).
If this review is correct then adding this set to the library might not be
a good idea.

Does anyone else have information about this set or have other reviews?  I
admit that I haven't checked all review sources yet.

Subject: [Libs-Or] Evaluating adult programs
Message-ID: <79182DEA2A9EBD459F20AD5CB90FEAA50FB6401A71@Exchange.orcity.org>

Hi everyone:

How do you evaluate the success of an adult program? Do you go by the attendance or do you try to capture something more meaningful? Do you try to get people to fill out an evaluation? I would love to hear from folks on how they decide whether something was valuable for their community and worth the effort and cost to provide. I know we have no shortage of ideas, which means that selecting what programming to provide is definitely helped when it's based on....something. The success, or failure, of a program would certainly be a factor. Beyond your spidey sense, how do you know, what is the data you collect, that tells you something soared or something bombed.

Thanks in advance! I'm happy to summarize and send back out if others are interested.

Thanks to everyone who responded to my request for a cheap, easy door counter for our local senior center. Here's a quick summary of the responses that I received (including two messages from Buzzy that he received when he asked this question last year.)

Many thanks for the emails, and special thanks to Cedar Mills Community Library-Bethany, who donated a Sensource battery operated counter to our cause. We owe you, Peter!

Hi Abigail,

After much research we purchased a people counter from SenSource http://www.sensourceinc.com/PC-TB12.htm it was more than we had hoped to spend (about $400), but it has data download capabilities we like. it did require tech support to get the software working.

Good luck!

________________________________________________________________
We are currently using people counters from SenSource.  The model number and price is below.  They are very basic, but seem to be working fine since we installed them several months ago.  They are connected to an electrical outlet rather than using a battery.  A magnet is required to reset them back to 0. which we do daily.
Item: PC-QS06-D
Description: wired non directional people counting system
Price: $149.95
Before we had counters from Walker Wireless that used a battery.  We had issues with the batteries lasting and the cover needed to be removed in order to reset them so we didn't do it on a daily basis.  I know that Denise Holmes from Banks Community Library is using the ones from Walker and is not having the same problems we did.

Thanks,

Robyn

We have two entrances/exits and we just purchased two directional door counters so that we actually can count how many people are coming in and going out each door. I will only count entrances but it's so interesting to see the traffic pattern in the building. The read out also can tell you the time down to the half hour.



This is what we purchased; it was about $2900. We skipped the reports software which we figure we can add later.

"Here is the Walker Wireless main page:  http://peoplecounter.walkerwirelessco.com/support/



Our system includes the Directional 418 with 2 sets of DIR 418 Directional Indoor Beams, Compucount Dual Radio and Boostacount 418-900 MHz Repeater.  We opted to go without the software which produces fancy reports, but we can export to excel with current system and always upgrade later if we want.

"While you need to know the ins and outs of the library and community you work in, sometimes such familiarity can lead to assumptions and mental models about the purpose, the people, and the materials of your library. When we have a mental model of something, we can get stuck in a way of thinking, making decisions that continue to reinforce the model-prioritizing tasks and budgeting to drive actions that support them. This interactive webinar will show you how to bust some of your mental models and start the shift to innovative, out-of-the-box thinking that managing a modern library requires. Chat opportunities with the instructor will make the learning relevant and engaging, so come ready to participate and discover how to unlock a world of possibilities for your library."

[Institute of Education Sciences - Newsflash]

NCES Releases First Findings Report on First-time Kindergartners in 2010-11

[ecls logo]The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) releases First-Time Kindergartners in 2010-11: First Findings From the Kindergarten Rounds of the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Class of 2010-11 (ECLS-K:2011), providing a snapshot of the 3.5 million kindergartners who were attending kindergarten in the United States for the first time in the 2010-11 school year. The ECLS-K:2011 is a longitudinal study that will follow students from their kindergarten year to the spring of 2016, when most of them are expected to be in fifth grade.

Key findings from First-Time Kindergartners in 2010-11 include:

* Most of the first-time kindergarten students in the cohort were born prior to September 2005 (7 percent of the cohort was born in September 2005 or later), meaning that most of these kindergartners were 5 years of age or older at the start of the school year.

* In the fall of kindergarten, reading and math assessment scores were lowest for first-time kindergartners in households with incomes below the federal poverty level and highest for those in households with incomes at or above 200 percent of the federal poverty level.

* In the fall of kindergarten, first-time kindergartners with a primary home language of English scored higher in reading and math than those coming from homes with a primary home language other than English.

* Kindergartners with parents whose highest level of education is a Bachelor's degree or higher had a lower BMI (body mass index) than those whose parents' highest level of education is a high school diploma/equivalent or lower.

To view the full ECLS-K:2011 report, please visit http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=2012049.

Hello librarians!

We are preparing for our move to our new location downtown and are looking
into purchasing a copy card dispenser for the library. We're looking for a
dispenser that takes cash and has a recharging option. We have seen some
that we like, but the price is more than we're willing to spend.

Do you have a copy card dispenser in your library? How much was it? Does it
work well?

I appreciate any advice you can give me! Thanks!

 Ask your senators to support privacy amendments in cybersecurity bill
Posted on July 29,
2012<http://www.districtdispatch.org/2012/07/ask-your-senators-to-support-privacy-amendments-in-cybersecurity-bill/>
by TWegner <http://www.districtdispatch.org/author/twegner/> |

This week the Senate is considering major cybersecurity legislation,
S. 3414<http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/thomas>,
that could let the government collect your sensitive and personal internet
records. The bill is in flux and subject to change during floor debate with
"good" and "bad" amendments. Your calls can make the difference. It is
imperative that you call your senators now.

*Call Now*

Use the boxes below to be directly connected to your U.S. Senators. Once
you enter your information you will receive a call with recorded talking
points. After listening to that brief message, you will be connected to the
DC office of one of your senators.
Zip Code:

Mobile Phone Number:

*SCRIPT TO USE WHEN MAKING CALLS*: My name is (your name) and I am a
constituent. I am calling about S. 3414, the Cybersecurity Act of 2012. As
my Senator, I am asking you to:

1. * Vote YES* on privacy amendments like the Franken-Paul amendment so
that companies do not have the overbroad authority to monitor and even
block our private communications, and,

2. *Vote NO* on anti-privacy amendments like the McCain and Huchison
amendments that would allow the NSA and military to directly collect and
use Americans' personal internet information.

Again, Vote YES on Franken-Paul and NO on antiprivacy amendments. Thank you!

Oregon Humanities Conversation Project: Got talk. Will travel. 
Talk is fun. Talk is happening. And talk is free!

Since 2009, more than 290 public conversations have taken place in more than 140 communities across the state - half of these programs have been hosted by libraries across Oregon. Oregonians have talked about science and democracy, rethinking downtowns, censorship in literature, racial diversity in Oregon, jazz and community building, and friendship, among many other topics. Now is the time for your Oregon nonprofit to join the conversation! Through September 30, request free Conversation Project programs from Oregon Humanities and get your community talking about ideas that matter.

Conversation Project programs last sixty to ninety minutes, and are designed to improve understanding of diverse perspectives on a given subject. All discussions are lead by humanities experts who have been trained as conversation facilitators, connect the subject to participants? experiences and to the local community, and model critical thinking without advocating a particular political agenda. Conversation Project programs can be hosted as stand-alone events, parts of a series, or as supplements to a nonprofit?s regular programming. Oregon Humanities funds conversation leaders? honoraria, mileage, and meals. Nonprofit hosts manage program logistics (i.e. space, A/V, advertising) and cover lodging expenses in cases when conversation leaders travel long distances.

Themed series and programs offered in Spanish are available. To see the full catalog of Conversation Project programs, watch video introductions to programs, and download an application, please visit oregonhumanities.org.

For questions or more information, please contact Program Coordinator Annie Kaffen by phone at (503) 241-0543 or (800) 735-0543, ext. 116 or via email at a.kaffen at oregonhumanities.org.

Subject: [Libs-Or] 2012 Annual Report on materials challenged in Oregon
 libraries now available!
Message-ID: <640435851FD7CB4AB3C4BE0D1963BA24314717E8@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local>

The 2012 Annual Report of the Oregon Intellectual Freedom Clearinghouse is now available!
http://cms.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/intellectual.aspx#Annual_Reports_on_Challenges_in_Oregon

Last year 28 attempts to ban books, videos, and online resources in Oregon libraries were reported to the Oregon Intellectual Freedom Clearinghouse (OIFC).  All 28 of the challenged items were retained in the collection, one of which was reclassified from the teen to the adult section. Of particular interest this year was that one challenge was made by school library staff. It is important to remember that the reconsideration process is also for library staff, administrators, and board/council members to use to express their concerns about items in the collection.

I encourage you to incorporate this information and/or the titles of the challenged materials in your Banned Books Week displays and activities.  Many people may not realize that book banning is not a thing from the past or that attempts to ban books are made every year right here in Oregon.  This is a valuable educational opportunity to discuss the nature of the First Amendment-just as we have a right to access these materials in our libraries, we have a right to question whether they are appropriate to include in public collections.

  *   Why might someone find these materials inappropriate?
  *   Why should they remain in the collection?
  *   Is labeling a book an effective way to inform people about content that may not be appropriate for everyone or is it a form of censorship?
  *   What would you do if someone came up to you in your library and said they want you to remove a book from the collection?
  *   Why is a collection development policy the most important line of defense when library materials are challenged?
  *   Does your library have a policy or established procedure for patrons to challenge material?

You can find resources that may help you answer these questions at: http://cms.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/intellectual.aspx#Banned_Books_Week_Planning_Resources

About the OIFC Annual Report

Every year the Oregon Intellectual Freedom Clearinghouse (OIFC) publishes a report on challenges to all types of library materials in Oregon.  This report provides a landscape of censorship activity in Oregon, and is submitted to ALA's Office of Intellectual Freedom to be included in their report on censorship activity in the United States.  The Annual Report is also used by librarians and teachers to help them develop activities for Banned Books Week.

The Annual Report is based on challenge reports OIFC receives from all types of Oregon libraries (school, academic, and public).  All local libraries are encouraged to report challenges to materials on a voluntary basis.  OIFC does not publish names of people, organizations, libraries, and towns identified in challenge reports confidential.

I will be compiling the 2013 Annual Report in July 2013.  Please submit a separate challenge report for each formal challenge to library materials that occur at your library between July 1, 2012 and June 30, 2013.  Reports may be submitted as they are resolved or all together in June 2013.

This information is complied to assist Oregon libraries currently facing a challenge as well as providing information that will help you plan Banned Books Week activities.  The Annual Report will tell you what books were challenged in Oregon libraries the previous year.  The more libraries reporting challenges to OIFC the better OIFC can help you!

Please take time to report challenges to OIFC.  The accuracy of OIFC's Annual Report and Title Index to Challenges is directly related to the number of Oregon libraries reporting challenges.

To report challenges to materials at your library:

  1.  Download and print the form at http://cms.oregon.gov/osl/LD/youthsvcs/OIFC/oifc.report.challenge.word.pdf
  2.  Fill out a challenge report form for each item that went through your library's formal process for dealing with challenges to library material.
  3.  Submit your completed form(s) to Ferol Weyand via

*         Email: ferol.weyand at state.or.us<mailto:ferol.weyand at state.or.us>

*         FAX: 503-378-6439

*         Snail Mail:    Oregon State Library

For more information about OIFC visit our website (http://cms.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/intellectual.aspx) or contact the coordinator of OIFC, Katie Anderson, 503-378-2528.

PS:  Attention School Librarians!  Submit reports to OIFC on challenges after they have gone through your school's formal challenge to materials process and a decision to retain, relocate, or remove the title has been officially made.  Submit reports on informal challenges to OASL's Intellectual Freedom Committee Chair, currently Leigh Ann Morlock (lamorlock at hotmail.com<mailto:lamorlock at hotmail.com>).

Hello all -
We are settling in from the flurry of activity around our conference
last week and there's a short "thank you" on our blog,
http://ola-ssd.blogspot.com/2012/07/thank-you.html, with a picture I
tried to take of *everybody*, but there's a much better write-up by
our opening session speaker and state librarian, Mary Kay Dahlgreen,
here:
http://snippetsfromthestatelibrarian.wordpress.com/2012/07/23/oregon-library-association-support-staff-division-annual-conference/
She gave us permission to skip sessions if we were talking! ...Er,
make that "networking", in case any of my supervisors are reading. :)

Our keynote speaker, Brian Doyle was well-received, and there's a
lovely comment to that effect here:
http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3628273299395860291&postID=3286961863085268290

We are still looking for an archivist! It's a great way to get
involved in something new, while knowing that you have the safety of
very helpful (I'd even go as far as to say "support"ive (groan)) past
and present members.  Give it a shot!
http://ola-ssd.blogspot.com/2012/07/we-want-you.html

Hostile library takeover of Walmart!  Wait, that seems backwards...
http://ola-ssd.blogspot.com/2012/07/library-takes-over-walmart.html

And finally, a drool-inducing trip to an estate sale from our illustrious Jey:
http://ola-ssd.blogspot.com/2012/07/an-amazing-estate-salem.html

Do you have a story from our conference? Did something impress you and
you want to share it with the world?  What did you think of the
sessions you attended? We *love* guest posts and comments.  We like to
hear how we, and you, are doing!  I've written some guidelines if you
were interested in posting but afraid to ask how.
http://ola-ssd.blogspot.com/p/guest-posting.html. And, as always, you
can email me directly with any comments or questions.

Sincerely,
Rebecca

 Children's Library Services
Message-ID: <CABKxh8E-LHCY0D==RyP9gZStwZyz6ymP24mQzsXasCo3C8Q6UA@mail.gmail.com>

I am pleased to announce to my Oregon librarian friends the creation of
StarWalk Kids Media, a new eBook startup co-founded by award-winning
children?s science author Seymour Simon and Liz Nealon, the former Creative
Director of Sesame Street. We are pleased to be able to provide this
important 21st Century literacy tool for educators and families. We're
committed to publishing new and exciting digital books for children by
well-known authors. My friends who are ambivalent about using eBooks to get
children to read are overlooking something very important ? the opportunity
to bring back well-written, treasured works that have been allowed to go
out of print. StarWalk Kids eBooks makes those gems available to today?s
digital kids, and we have the opportunity to make timely updates to
nonfiction titles, as well.



The StarWalk collection is tightly curated for excellence, showcasing the
work of award-winning authors and illustrators that educators know and
trust. Familiar and respected names in the StarWalk Kids catalog include
not only Seymour Simon, but also David Adler, Stephanie Calmenson, Joanna
Cole, Doug Cushman, Diane deGroat, Johanna Hurwitz, Kathryn Lasky, Stan
Mack, Doreen Rappaport, Hudson Talbott, Laura Vaccaro Seeger and more. The
library is focused on nonfiction, but will also include fiction from name
brand authors.



Each eBook in the collection has been lovingly adapted and narrated in
preparation for digital streaming via the best-in-class, proprietary
StarWalk Reader?, designed to work on any computer, tablet, smartphone or
whiteboard with a wireless connection.  The entire collection is searchable
by grade, subject, Lexile, and Alphabetic levels, and each title is
correlated to appropriate Common Core State Standards.  All titles are
accompanied by a ?Teaching Links? document, with suggestions for
CCSS-appropriate teaching activities and further inquiry developed by
nationally known literacy expert and StarWalk Kids Director of Education
Linda Hoyt.



For further information go to www.starwalkkids.com.

Heritage Vitality Task Force Update<http://oregonheritage.wordpress.com/2012/07/31/heritage-vitality-task-force-update/>
by oregonheritage<http://oregonheritage.wordpress.com/author/oregonheritage/>


By Kyle Jansson

Hundreds of heritage organizations have struggled to remain open during the past few years. For other groups, the struggle has lasted for a couple of decades.

To find potential solutions to their challenges, the 2011 Oregon Legislature created a Task Force on Heritage Vitality in Oregon<http://www.oregon.gov/OPRD/HCD/OHC/vitalitytaskforce.shtml>. The legislation, HB 3210A<http://www.leg.state.or.us/11reg/measpdf/hb3200.dir/hb3210.en.pdf>, designated 14 positions on the Task Force to be filled by specific organizations, including two spots for at-large public members.
[http://oregonheritage.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/20120731_1.jpg]

What solutions do you have to improve the operations and effectiveness of Oregon's heritage organizations?

The Task Force, which will present its report to the Legislature by October 1, wants solutions that will improve the operations and effectiveness of heritage organizations in promotion, history education, heritage tourism, historic preservation and related economic development.

The Task Force is studying and reviewing heritage-related laws and the effectiveness of heritage organizations with education, tourism, preservation and economic development. Task Force members have examined research, including the Oregon Heritage Vitality Report<http://www.oregon.gov/OPRD/HCD/OHC/vitality.shtml>, as well as presented their diverse perspectives. They have also asked that additional research be conducted into laws related to county historical funds and city museums.

Recently, the Task Force established three committees to draft solutions related to public funding, private funding and best practices. The full Task Force will discuss those potential solutions at its meeting on Monday, August 13 at 10:30 a.m. in Room 124 at the North Mall Office Building located at 725 Summer St. NE, Salem (view map<https://maps.google.com/maps?q=725+summer+st+ne+salem,+or&hl=en&sll=45.48464,-122.805474&sspn=0.184379,0.246162&hnear=725+Summer+St+NE,+Salem,+Oregon+97301&t=m&z=16>). Members of the public will also be able to address the Task Force with their potential solutions.

So what solutions do you want to suggest? Do they require any legislative action? Are they fiscally possible in 2012? Are they sustainable? We invite you to start the discussion here with your comments.

Kyle Jansson is the coordinator for the Task Force on Heritage Vitality in Oregon and for the Oregon Heritage Commission.
