Trio of Gale Webinars & Bookmarking Documents Now Available Online [GALELogo]This spring, Julie Pepera, a Gale trainer, offered three webinars specifically for Oregon library staff: What is a Library Database?, Finding eResources to Support Library Programming, and Marketing Your Gale Databases. These webinars were archived and are now available via the Training Opportunities link on the Gale support sites for Oregon public and academic libraries. The trainings could be useful for new library staff, volunteers, or possibly board members; for discovering ways to increase database usage; for learning new ways to get database content into the hands of patrons; and more. Also posted on the Training Opportunities pages are two documents that explain how to create and use Gale bookmarks, or permanent links to Gale content - one each for the two most common database interfaces.

Return to top of page Other Library News School Library Staffing and Spending Trends For Last Five Years and Beyond Staff at the State Library is often asked about the change 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 annual report from a new angle. It seems 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 library spending category in five years. (Note: The figures were pulled from data supplied by ODE. School library staff who reported corrections often indicate that their true budgets were less than what was reported to ODE.) During the same time period, the national average price for a children's & young adult hardcover book rose from $21.60 to $23.85. 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. If you include the 47 FTE licensed librarians cut from elementary and middle schools in Salem-Keizer School District for the 2011-12 school year, that roughly puts the licensed staffing figure at about 261 for this year. Next school year the FTE total is expected to drop by another 44 to about 217 when Beaverton School District cuts all licensed school librarian positions. The estimates for this school year and next do not account for other cuts or the potential for some increases in other districts. While many libraries are being run or supported by excellent library paraprofessionals, the ideal is to match licensed staff with paraprofessionals and reasonable budgets to create strong school library programs.

We thought it a good idea to give a little primer on exactly what ALA has been doing on digital literacy. Our involvement actually started way back when the FCC was collecting information to create the National Broadband Plan (NBP), the FCC plan which deals with improving broadband Internet access throughout the United States. We submitted commentsto several public notices, including one asking questions about broadband adoption. We also worked with the Social Science Research Council, which was commissioned to research broadband adoptionin low-income communities, to put them in touch with libraries in their target areas. The NBPmade a number of recommendations related to improving broadband adoption, taking into consideration identified barriers of cost, availability, relevancy, and digital literacy. One of the recommendations was to create a digital literacy corps after the AmeriCorps model. To date, this has not been pursued. Since the release of the NBP, the ALA Office for Information Technology Policy has stayed involved with both the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NITA) and the FCC as both agencies have begun implementing recommendations made in the NBP. Among these were the creation of the digitalliteracy.gov portal last spring and the launching of the Connect 2 Competeinitiative last fall. To the issue brought out in the *Times *article, ALA submitted commentsto the FCC's Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (FNPRM) on a proposal to fund digital literacy training through libraries and schools using savings realized from Lifeline program reforms. The FCC proposes to fund formal digital literacy training at $50 million per year over four years. This proceeding is ongoing, though the comment period is closed. ALA continues to advocate for libraries in this proceeding, knowing that libraries offer a formidable "triple play" of assets to support learners in gaining the digital skills necessary to thrive online.

I just want to draw your collective attention to two outstanding blog posts by law librarians here in Oregon that have been posted recently on the blog of the Oregon chapter of the Special Libraries Association. Not only are both posts beautifully, engagingly written they offer valuable glimpses into what law librarians in different settings (the first a county law library, the second a major law firm in Portland) do on a typical day. I urge everyone to tweet them using hashtags like #libraries and #librarian so that library school students will learn about the existence of the posts and ponder them as they determine what kind of librarianship they want to specialize in. I am not a law librarian myself so learned a lot and as an average citizen learned a great deal and was impressed by the range of services offered by the Clackamas County Law Library to those with legal troubles but few resources. Jennifer Dalglish's post is really quite moving in illustrating what a vital service county law libraries provide and how they further justice for all. Her post, "A Week?s Worth of Oregon County Law Library Legal Reference Assistance" is here http://oregon.sla.org/?p=1022 Sue Mecklem, M.L.S., Davis Wright Tremaine, provides us with a fascinating and and engaging look into, "A Week in the Life of a Law Firm Librarian." Sue writes delightfully and her post makes clear that law librarians in large firms have a wide range of duties and must think on their feet and handle everything from the most abstruse matters of legal scholarship to Web site troubleshooting. Her essay is here http://oregon.sla.org/?p=1047 These essays are worthy of inclusion in introduction to library science texts and I wish I had read them when I was in library school and hope that many other kinds of librarians will consider writing comparable essays on their own fields. The general public often doesn't realize what a range of fields librarianship encompasses and Sue and Jennifer have helped enlightened it.

[IMLS logo] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 6, 2012 IMLS Press Contacts 202-653-4630 Mamie Bittner, mbittner at imls.gov IMLS Awards $50,000 to the Public Library Association to Prototype a Summer Reading App Washington, DC?The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) today announced a planning grant of $50,000 to the Public Library Association (PLA), a division of the American Library Association. This National Leadership Grant will aid in the development of a "summer reading app" for mobile devices by the summer of 2013. "Research shows that lack of opportunities for summer learning can put children and teens at risk of falling behind. Some students enter middle school far behind their peers with little hope of catching up," said IMLS Director Susan Hildreth. "We want this project to create new and innovative ways to keep kids engaged in learning." PLA will partner with Influx Library User Experience Consulting to develop and deploy a lightweight prototype of a web-based summer reading app. The project team will then coordinate with other organizations, including the Digital Public Library of America, to use the prototype as a means of gathering feedback from a variety of stakeholders about what features and functions would be desirable in a fully functional application. PLA will use this feedback to draft a report to guide software developers in the creation of an application that could be invaluable to summer reading programs across the country. IMLS's National Leadership Grant program supports projects that address challenges faced by the museum, library, and archive fields and that have the potential to advance practice in those fields. It funds innovative responses to challenges that have been identified as national in scope. 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.

The LSTA Advisory Council accepted the *Annual Report* of the Statewide Database Licensing Advisory Committee for the period of April 2011 to March 2012 at its May 18th meeting. The report, submitted by the chair on behalf of SDLAC, summarizes current progress, project objectives, significant developments, and future plans. The report is attached. In January, SDLAC asked for constituent feedback on a brief survey to guide conversations on the next database package RFP. Thank you very much for your input on this survey. We received 118 responses with 44 respondents indicating affiliation with k-12 schools, 42 with academic libraries, 28 with public libraries and 4 with "other" affiliations. At this point, I can say that issues such as database usability, depth of content, and desire for newspaper content appeared frequently. Further discussion of the survey will take place at our next meeting this summer, and we will proceed with discussions on the RFP with an emphasis on scope, content, functionality, and budget. There are many factors that will add to the complexity of the discussions including, but not limited to, sole providers of key resources, vendor relationships with consortia, database indexing in discovery tools, costs, and depth of databases. We will continue to keep the Oregon library community informed of the process as it unfolds. Finally, allow me to congratulate the incoming members of SDLAC and offer thanks to outgoing members. The new representatives serve a three year appointment that begins on July 1, 2012. *Position #4: Public Library Serving 25,000 to 100,000* Incoming: Liz Paulus, Cedar Mill Community Library Outgoing: Current: Linda Malone, Lake Oswego Public Library *Position #5: Academic Library from an Oregon Community College * Incoming: Marika Pineda, Director, Lane Community College Outgoing: Tony Greiner, Portland Community College *Position #6: School Library drawn from OASL Membership * Incoming: Jennifer Parkhurst, Roseburg High School, Roseburg Public Schools Outgoing: Stephen Cox, Salem Keizer School District *Position #10: Tribal Library Representative* Incoming: Marion Mercier, Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde Outgoing: Chris Tanner, Coquille Indian Tribe Here's to a successful year of discussions and planning!

In my opinion, the ACS does the work of government which is essential to good governance and policy making for all citizens.

The following blog post was offered by James A. Jacobs of the freegovinfo.info blog, who is a well-respected member of the FDLP/Gov info community.

Thanks for your consideration. Liz Paulus Reference Librarian Portland, OR ------------------------- Fear, uncertainty, or doubt? Why the Census and ACS are critical to a well-functioning democracy Submitted by jajacobs on Tue, 2012-06-05 15:19. ? ACS ? FUD ? U.S. Census Recently we posted about a petition to save the American Community Survey . We received the following comment from reader "David": What a joke this article is. Social infrastructure and welfare distribution worked just fined [sic] without the ACS, which by the way only officially began in 2000. If there is a 'demographics information' demand, the market will provide that information, it is not the role of the government to provide that kind of luxury. Besides the ACS and the long arm [sic] (its older brother) Census are not constitutionally mandated. But I guess if your [sic] into big gov, dem or repub you don't care about constitutional boundaries. Normally we would simply delete this comment because FGI isn't a forum for attacking or defending long-established, legal, respected, government information gathering policies. Unfortunately, this comment is similar to many others we see on the web every day about the Census and similar government information programs. You can hardly find a blog post or newspaper article about the census without also finding a comment very much like this one. They share factual inaccuracies, inflammatory accusations, unsubstantiated assertions, falacious slippery slope arguments , and a fervent distrust of government. In short, these arguments display classic characteristics that marketers and propagandists use to spread Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (FUD). It is, of course, impossible to know the motives behind any given individual or comment, but it is probably reasonable to assume that professional politicians and organizations are aware of what they are doing and some individuals are victims of FUD and are repeating what cynical politicians have told them. Regardless of the intentions behind this comment and those like it, it is surely true that they are at best misguided and at worst intentionally misleading. So, we decided to take the time to respond to these kinds of arguments against the ACS and the Census. We think it might be helpful to document why we believe ACS is both legal and good. Some Context Although there have always been some people who express doubts and fears about the Census ( Callahan ), recently some conservative and libertarian politicians are pushing hard to turn these doubts and fears into policy ( Canadian Press ). It is reported that Britain will drop its census ( UPI ) and Canada has already scrapped its own long-form Census ( Roman ) -- prompting the head of Statistics Canada to resign in protest ( Proudfoot ). In the U.S., in addition to the bill before Congress ( H.R. 5326 ) that would kill the ACS, the Republican National Committee has described the Census Bureau as behaving like "a scam artist" and recommended ( RNC ) that the American Community Survey be eliminated (which is what H.R. 5326 does), dumbed-down to make it less accurate (which is what Canada has done to its long-form census), or make the ACS no longer mandatory ( Groves ) . What this means is that, although censuses have long been an accepted part of modern governments world-wide and most countries conduct regular censuses of their populations ( ESRC ), there are those, not just in the U.S., who are actively trying to shut down ( Seife ) or dumb-down ( Milligan ) national censuses. When I told a friend I was working on this post, she said, "Oh, no! You're not trying to correct the Internet, are you?" ( Munroe ). No, this isn't about silly internet debates. This is about an actual, current political attack on something that, until very recently, almost everyone took as a noble and important part of any functioning government. Getting the Facts Right If we are to discuss the efficacy of the census, the first thing we have to do is get our facts right. Let's look at some of the claims that David and others like him make about the Census and the ACS. Claims about ACS David gets the facts wrong in a very specific way that -- if he were accurate -- would strengthen his case. But he is not correct when he says, "Social infrastructure and welfare distribution worked just fined without the ACS, which by the way only officially began in 2000." The Facts . What is actually true is that the ACS replaced the "long-form" questionnaire that had been a part of the decennial census since 1940. The Bureau has conducted longer surveys to gather more detailed information than the decennial census since 1850 ( Yglesias ). The ACS is part of a long history of the government gathering social and demographic information. The ACS is not a new program that suddenly sprang up in 2000. In fact, the Bureau began testing the ACS methodology in 1996 and the first ACS was in 2005, (not 2000) ( GAO ). Claims about Constitutionality and legality Those who fight to cancel or reduce the accuracy or scope of the Census often claim that it is unconstitutional or otherwise illegal. The RNC makes this claim and says the Census excedes its Constitutionally mandated "scope" ( RNC ). David writes that "the ACS and the long arm [sic] (its older brother) Census are not constitutionally mandated." The Facts . The legality of the Census has been repeatedly affirmed by the courts. The gathering of information is done in accordance with the Constitution under the authority of Congress and is regulated by other laws and regulations. It is essential to understand just how important this is. Neither the Census nor the ACS is a wild and crazy abuse of power. It is implemented in a careful, public way under the Constitution, the U.S. Code , and the Code of Federal Regulations -- all with the approval of the courts. As the Bureau notes, putting the Census in the Constitution (Article I, Section 2) was a significant act of empowering the people over unruly governments:
Enshrining this invention in our Constitution marked a turning point in world history. Previously censuses had been used mainly to tax or confiscate property or to conscript youth into military service. The genius of the Founders was taking a tool of government and making it a tool of political empowerment for the governed over their government. ( Census Bureau "Constitution" )
The Constitution is, of course, just the starting point of a our system of checks and balances designed to prevent abuse. It authorizes our elected representatives to create laws to carry out what the Constitution enables. Congress enacted 13 U.S.C. ? 141 which requires a decennial census of population and authorizes The Secretary of Commerce "to obtain such other census information as necessary." The law goes further with its checks and balances by requiring the Bureau to notify Congress of what subjects it will address:
Title 13, U.S. Code, does not specify which subjects or questions are to be included in the decennial census. However, it does require the Census Bureau to notify Congress of general census subjects to be addressed 3 years before the decennial census and the actual questions to be asked 2 years before the decennial census. ( Census Bureau "Constitution" )
The Congressional law is further implemented by regulations which are created by professionals under the supervision of Presidential appointees, announced to the public for comment in the Federal Register , and codified in the Code of Federal Regulations . In the case of the Census, regulations appear in four CRF Titles: 15, 19, 22, 39 ( Cornell ). The Government Accountability Office has determined that The Bureau has the authority under 13 U.S.C. ? 141 and 13 U.S.C. ? 193 to conduct the ACS ( GAO ). The information gathering also conforms to the Paperwork Reduction Act , the Confidential Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act , and the Privacy Act . All these laws and regulations are subject to further checks and balances through reviews by the courts. The Bureau notes that the courts have repeatedly confirmed the legality of the Census:
On numerous occasions, the courts have said the Constitution gives Congress the authority to collect statistics in the census. As early as 1870, the Supreme Court characterized as unquestionable the power of Congress to require both an enumeration and the collection of statistics in the census. The Legal Tender Cases, Tex.1870; 12 Wall., U.S., 457, 536, 20 L.Ed. 287. In 1901, a District Court said the Constitution's census clause (Art. 1, Sec. 2, Clause 3) is not limited to a headcount of the population and "does not prohibit the gathering of other statistics, if 'necessary and proper,' for the intelligent exercise of other powers enumerated in the constitution, and in such case there could be no objection to acquiring this information through the same machinery by which the population is enumerated." United States v. Moriarity, 106 F. 886, 891 (S.D.N.Y.1901). ( Census Bureau "Constitution" )
In short, those who claim that the Census or the ACS are not legal are wrong. Claims about proper role of government David says, "If there is a 'demographics information' demand, the market will provide that information, it is not the role of the government to provide that kind of luxury." The Facts . Is collecting demographic information a "luxury" and an improper role of government? This is, of course, a matter of opinion, but the facts suggest that having official statistics makes government more efficient and effective and provides information useful to the private sector. Making government effective and efficient shouldn't be considered a luxury by anyone, should it? (We'll examine separately below whether or not "the market" could provide this information.) The gathering of census information is widely recognized as an essential role of government. The private sector supports this activity ( Jacobs ). The Wall Street Journal calls conducting the ACS a "useful government purpose." The Economist notes that the ACS "helps target government spending on those who need it most." Business Week points out that the Chamber of Commerce, the National Association of Business Economists, and even conservative think tanks like the Cato Institute, the American Enterprise Institute, and the Heritage Foundation support the public collection of data ( Philips ). Non-profits and social organizations agree ( Baker ). The Decennial Census and American Community Survey are critical not only for "demographics" and Congressional apportionment, but for public policy analysis at the Federal, state and local levels. Policy makers can't know how their policies are affecting citizens without data -- and citizens can't know how they are being affected by their elected officials' policies without data! Even Republican mayors and governors say that Census data help them run their states and cities more efficiently ( Loth ). Elimination of the ACS would not only make government less efficient, but it would eliminate a critical tool for profit-driven businesses ( Hogue ). The National Retail Federation told Congress that they wanted a mandatory ACS ( Shearman ). The ACS is even more important now because the long form of the decennial census was discontinued for the 2010 census. (The long form, by the way, used to be required of one household in six; the ACS questionnaire goes to just one in 46.) The ACS and the Census, rather than being "big gov" (with the implication that "big" is always "bad"), actually do much to keep costs down and assure that governments are spending in a wise and targeted fashion. So, The Census and the ACS are critical tools for a well-functioning country. Which leads us to our next question: Should we leave it to "the market" to provide us those tools? Claims about The Market David says, "If there is a 'demographics information' demand, the market will provide that information." The Facts: Although there are lots of private sector companies that repackage government-provided information and combine it with privately gathered information, there is no evidence that the private sector wants to or can gather the kind of information that the government does. In contrast, see above all the business groups and businesses and business press that are supporters of the ACS and the Census. But this argument also goes against common sense. Imagine if the government stopped collecting the demographic information that it uses to monitor and run government programs and that businesses use to make business decisions. There would be only two alternative scenarios. First, some or all of that data would go uncollected. That would clearly be bad for everyone. Second, the private sector would collect at least some of the data. This raises a host of questions, though: What data would 'the market' value and collect and what data would be deemed by the market as inessential? Would 'market' data be collected, but data that help governments operate efficiently and effectively be left uncollected? What price would 'the market' charge for the data and who would have access to it or be denied access because of costs? Would privacy of respondents be respected? Would there be any transparency or public accountability for market-gathered information the way there is for government-gathered data? Would respondents be more likely to trust business surveys than government surveys and what effect would that have on the accuracy of those surveys? In short, claiming that 'the market' can adequately serve the very real needs of government and businesses while providing accurate, affordable information is a claim without support and a claim that is contradicted by the business community itself and by common sense. Claims about privacy A favorite claim of those who oppose the ACS and the Census in general is that these surveys are an invasion of citizens' privacy. (David doesn't bring up this point, but it commonly made, so we want to address it here.) The RNC says, for example, that "ACS is an invasion of privacy that demands detailed personal information that the government has no business seeking, knowing, or compiling" and that the Census Bureau is "conducting a dangerous invasion of privacy" and that the Bureau is "violat[ing] the rights and invad[ing] the personal privacy of United States Citizens." These claims are often linked to descriptions of possible, not actual, abuses of power. For example, Ron Paul asks us to "imagine the countless malevolent ways our federal bureaucrats could use this information," and others ask us to imagine "the new American police state" ( Loth ). David B. Kopel , an associate policy analyst at the Cato Institute, piled on the hypotheticals as far back as 1990, saying the Bureau would "probably" help the Department of Justice and that it "may not even keep its word." Kopel also repeats the story of the federal government's using census data to locate citizens of Japanese descent and imprisoning them in concentration camps. The Facts . The Census Bureau is bound by Title 13 of the US Code to protect the confidentiality of the information it gathers and it has always done so. Disclosure of confidential Census information is punishable by prison and fines ( Census Bureau "Principles" ). It cannot share confidential information even with other agencies.
It is against the law for any Census Bureau employee to disclose or publish any private information that identifies an individual or business. This is true even for inter-agency communication: the FBI and other government entities do not have legal right to access census information. In fact, these protections have been challenged, Title 13's privacy and confidentiality guarantees have been upheld. In addition, other federal laws, including the Confidential Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act and the Privacy Act, reinforce these protections. ( Census Bureau "Privacy" )
The purpose of the Census is to create aggregate information, not personal information. In other words, it profiles states, cities, and communities, not individuals, by aggregating (summarizing) the information it gathers from individuals. The personal, individual information is confidential and is not disclosed. The summaries are what we all use every day when we want to know the population of a city of the change in population over time and so forth. The Bureau uses sophisticated statistical procedures to ensure that information about an individual cannot be gleaned from the summary information about cities and communities that it publishes ( Census Bureau "Safeguards" ). The story of the federal government using census data to locate citizens of Japanese descent in 1942 is at least partially true, but the Census critics oversimplify the facts to the point of making misleading arguments and draw, what I believe to be, the wrong conclusions from it. Until recently, the Bureau has maintained that it did not divulge any confidential information to aid in internment. The Bureau maintained that it did not provide information on individuals, but that it did produce public, summary reports that identified neighborhoods where Japanese-Americans lived ( Holmes ). The Bureau officially acknowledged and apologized for this activity in 2000 ( Watanabe ). But a paper published in 2007 ( Seltzer and Anderson ) says that there is now evidence that the Bureau did, in 1943, provide to the Secret Service information on 79 individuals in the Washington D.C. area. The disclosures were legal at the time ( Watanabe ). Seltzer and Anderson also say this:
"However, over time, and certainly in retrospect, Census Bureau came to realize that the provision of information gathered under a pledge of statistical confidentiality to law enforcement and intelligence agencies was antithetical to the Bureau's statistical mission.... In the post World War II period, the Census Bureau vigorously sought to end the confidentiality violations sanctioned by the Second War Powers Act."
What lessons can we draw from this experience? I personally believe that the Bureau should not have provided special and personal information during World War II, and am heartened by the fact that the Bureau worked to close confidentiality loopholes in the law. But I am disheartened by the fact that, as recently as 2004, the Bureau provided specially tabulated population statistics on Arab Americans to the Department of Homeland Security ( Watanabe ). Although the disclosures were legal and only included summary statistics using already-public data, this strikes me as an example of how there are still those who will use "national security" to justify the use of Census data to try to identify individuals. In short, misuse of Census data has been extremely rare (are there any others than these two?). Misuse of Census data is not a common or recurring or systemic problem. Because the Bureau has a long history of systematic and professional protection of the confidentiality of Census records (see legal and procedural safeguards above and, for example, Benson ), hypothesizing worst-case scenarios is more misleading than it is useful or informative. Summary I draw two conclusions from all this: First, the benefits of gathering the information with the Census and the ACS far outweigh the possible, but unlikely, abuses of that information. Second, I would rather have this kind of information gathered (as it is being done) under the Constitution, the U.S. Code , and the Code of Federal Regulations by elected officials and public servants under transparent conditions, than by un-accountable private-sector companies. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Why the Census and ACS are critical to a well-functioning democracy Submitted by jajacobs on Tue, 2012-06-05 15:19. ? ACS ? FUD ? U.S. Census Recently we posted about a petition to save the American Community Survey. We received the following comment from reader "David": What a joke this article is. Social infrastructure and welfare distribution worked just fined [sic] without the ACS, which by the way only officially began in 2000. If there is a 'demographics information' demand, the market will provide that information, it is not the role of the government to provide that kind of luxury. Besides the ACS and the long arm [sic] (its older brother) Census are not constitutionally mandated. But I guess if your [sic] into big gov, dem or repub you don't care about constitutional boundaries. Normally we would simply delete this comment because FGI isn't a forum for attacking or defending long-established, legal, respected, government information gathering policies. Unfortunately, this comment is similar to many others we see on the web every day about the Census and similar government information programs. You can hardly find a blog post or newspaper article about the census without also finding a comment very much like this one. They share factual inaccuracies, inflammatory accusations, unsubstantiated assertions, falacious slippery slope arguments, and a fervent distrust of government. In short, these arguments display classic characteristics that marketers and propagandists use to spreadFear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (FUD). It is, of course, impossible to know the motives behind any given individual or comment, but it is probably reasonable to assume that professional politicians and organizations are aware of what they are doing and some individuals are victims of FUD and are repeating what cynical politicians have told them. Regardless of the intentions behind this comment and those like it, it is surely true that they are at best misguided and at worst intentionally misleading. So, we decided to take the time to respond to these kinds of arguments against the ACS and the Census. We think it might be helpful to document why we believe ACS is both legal and good. Some Context Although there have always been some people who express doubts and fears about the Census (Callahan), recently some conservative and libertarian politicians are pushing hard to turn these doubts and fears into policy (Canadian Press). It is reported that Britain will drop its census (UPI) and Canada has already scrapped its own long-form Census (Roman) -- prompting the head of Statistics Canada to resign in protest (Proudfoot). In the U.S., in addition to the bill before Congress (H.R. 5326) that would kill the ACS, the Republican National Committee has described the Census Bureau as behaving like "a scam artist" and recommended (RNC) that the American Community Survey be eliminated (which is what H.R. 5326 does), dumbed-down to make it less accurate (which is what Canada has done to its long-form census), or make the ACS no longer mandatory (Groves) . What this means is that, although censuses have long been an accepted part of modern governments world-wide and most countries conduct regular censuses of their populations (ESRC), there are those, not just in the U.S., who are actively trying to shut down (Seife) or dumb-down (Milligan) national censuses. When I told a friend I was working on this post, she said, "Oh, no! You're not trying to correct the Internet, are you?" (Munroe). No, this isn't about silly internet debates. This is about an actual, current political attack on something that, until very recently, almost everyone took as a noble and important part of any functioning government. Getting the Facts Right If we are to discuss the efficacy of the census, the first thing we have to do is get our facts right. Let's look at some of the claims that David and others like him make about the Census and the ACS. Claims about ACS David gets the facts wrong in a very specific way that -- if he were accurate -- would strengthen his case. But he is not correct when he says, "Social infrastructure and welfare distribution worked just fined without the ACS, which by the way only officially began in 2000." The Facts. What is actually true is that the ACS replaced the "long-form" questionnaire that had been a part of the decennial census since 1940. The Bureau has conducted longer surveys to gather more detailed information than the decennial census since 1850 (Yglesias). The ACS is part of a long history of the government gathering social and demographic information. The ACS is not a new program that suddenly sprang up in 2000. In fact, the Bureau began testing the ACS methodology in 1996 and the first ACS was in 2005, (not 2000) (GAO). Claims about Constitutionality and legality Those who fight to cancel or reduce the accuracy or scope of the Census often claim that it is unconstitutional or otherwise illegal. The RNC makes this claim and says the Census excedes its Constitutionally mandated "scope" (RNC). David writes that "the ACS and the long arm [sic] (its older brother) Census are not constitutionally mandated." The Facts. The legality of the Census has been repeatedly affirmed by the courts. The gathering of information is done in accordance with the Constitution under the authority of Congress and is regulated by other laws and regulations. It is essential to understand just how important this is. Neither the Census nor the ACS is a wild and crazy abuse of power. It is implemented in a careful, public way under the Constitution, the U.S. Code, and the Code of Federal Regulations -- all with the approval of the courts. As the Bureau notes, putting the Census in the Constitution (Article I, Section 2) was a significant act of empowering the people over unruly governments: Enshrining this invention in our Constitution marked a turning point in world history. Previously censuses had been used mainly to tax or confiscate property or to conscript youth into military service. The genius of the Founders was taking a tool of government and making it a tool of political empowerment for the governed over their government. (Census Bureau "Constitution") The Constitution is, of course, just the starting point of a our system of checks and balances designed to prevent abuse. It authorizes our elected representatives to create laws to carry out what the Constitution enables. Congress enacted 13 U.S.C. ? 141 which requires a decennial census of population and authorizes The Secretary of Commerce "to obtain such other census information as necessary." The law goes further with its checks and balances by requiring the Bureau to notify Congress of what subjects it will address: Title 13, U.S. Code, does not specify which subjects or questions are to be included in the decennial census. However, it does require the Census Bureau to notify Congress of general census subjects to be addressed 3 years before the decennial census and the actual questions to be asked 2 years before the decennial census. (Census Bureau "Constitution") The Congressional law is further implemented by regulations which are created by professionals under the supervision of Presidential appointees, announced to the public for comment in the Federal Register, and codified in the Code of Federal Regulations. In the case of the Census, regulations appear in four CRF Titles: 15, 19, 22, 39 (Cornell). The Government Accountability Office has determined that The Bureau has the authority under13 U.S.C. ? 141 and 13 U.S.C. ? 193 to conduct the ACS (GAO). The information gathering also conforms to the Paperwork Reduction Act, the Confidential Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act, and the Privacy Act. All these laws and regulations are subject to further checks and balances through reviews by the courts. The Bureau notes that the courts have repeatedly confirmed the legality of the Census: On numerous occasions, the courts have said the Constitution gives Congress the authority to collect statistics in the census. As early as 1870, the Supreme Court characterized as unquestionable the power of Congress to require both an enumeration and the collection of statistics in the census. The Legal Tender Cases, Tex.1870; 12 Wall., U.S., 457, 536, 20 L.Ed. 287. In 1901, a District Court said the Constitution's census clause (Art. 1, Sec. 2, Clause 3) is not limited to a headcount of the population and "does not prohibit the gathering of other statistics, if 'necessary and proper,' for the intelligent exercise of other powers enumerated in the constitution, and in such case there could be no objection to acquiring this information through the same machinery by which the population is enumerated." United States v. Moriarity, 106 F. 886, 891 (S.D.N.Y.1901). (Census Bureau "Constitution") In short, those who claim that the Census or the ACS are not legal are wrong. Claims about proper role of government David says, "If there is a 'demographics information' demand, the market will provide that information, it is not the role of the government to provide that kind of luxury." The Facts. Is collecting demographic information a "luxury" and an improper role of government? This is, of course, a matter of opinion, but the facts suggest that having official statistics makes government more efficient and effective and provides information useful to the private sector. Making government effective and efficient shouldn't be considered a luxury by anyone, should it? (We'll examine separately below whether or not "the market" could provide this information.) The gathering of census information is widely recognized as an essential role of government. The private sector supports this activity (Jacobs). The Wall Street Journal calls conducting the ACS a "useful government purpose." The Economist notes that the ACS "helps target government spending on those who need it most." Business Week points out that the Chamber of Commerce, the National Association of Business Economists, and even conservative think tanks like the Cato Institute, the American Enterprise Institute, and the Heritage Foundation support the public collection of data (Philips). Non-profits and social organizations agree (Baker). The Decennial Census and American Community Survey are critical not only for "demographics" and Congressional apportionment, but for public policy analysis at the Federal, state and local levels. Policy makers can't know how their policies are affecting citizens without data -- and citizens can't know how they are being affected by their elected officials' policies without data! Even Republican mayors and governors say that Census data help them run their states and cities more efficiently (Loth). Elimination of the ACS would not only make government less efficient, but it would eliminate a critical tool for profit-driven businesses (Hogue). The National Retail Federation told Congress that they wanted a mandatory ACS (Shearman). The ACS is even more important now because the long form of the decennial census was discontinued for the 2010 census. (The long form, by the way, used to be required of one household in six; the ACS questionnaire goes to just one in 46.) The ACS and the Census, rather than being "big gov" (with the implication that "big" is always "bad"), actually do much to keep costs down and assure that governments are spending in a wise and targeted fashion. So, The Census and the ACS are critical tools for a well-functioning country. Which leads us to our next question: Should we leave it to "the market" to provide us those tools? Claims about The Market David says, "If there is a 'demographics information' demand, the market will provide that information." The Facts: Although there are lots of private sector companies that repackage government-provided information and combine it with privately gathered information, there is no evidence that the private sector wants to or can gather the kind of information that the government does. In contrast, see above all the business groups and businesses and business press that are supporters of the ACS and the Census. But this argument also goes against common sense. Imagine if the government stopped collecting the demographic information that it uses to monitor and run government programs and that businesses use to make business decisions. There would be only two alternative scenarios. First, some or all of that data would go uncollected. That would clearly be bad for everyone. Second, the private sector would collect at least some of the data. This raises a host of questions, though: What data would 'the market' value and collect and what data would be deemed by the market as inessential? Would 'market' data be collected, but data that help governments operate efficiently and effectively be left uncollected? What price would 'the market' charge for the data and who would have access to it or be denied access because of costs? Would privacy of respondents be respected? Would there be any transparency or public accountability for market-gathered information the way there is for government-gathered data? Would respondents be more likely to trust business surveys than government surveys and what effect would that have on the accuracy of those surveys? In short, claiming that 'the market' can adequately serve the very real needs of government and businesses while providing accurate, affordable information is a claim without support and a claim that is contradicted by the business community itself and by common sense. Claims about privacy A favorite claim of those who oppose the ACS and the Census in general is that these surveys are an invasion of citizens' privacy. (David doesn't bring up this point, but it commonly made, so we want to address it here.) The RNC says, for example, that "ACS is an invasion of privacy that demands detailed personal information that the government has no business seeking, knowing, or compiling" and that the Census Bureau is "conducting a dangerous invasion of privacy" and that the Bureau is "violat[ing] the rights and invad[ing] the personal privacy of United States Citizens." These claims are often linked to descriptions of possible, not actual, abuses of power. For example, Ron Paul asks us to "imagine the countless malevolent ways our federal bureaucrats could use this information," and others ask us to imagine "the new American police state" (Loth). David B. Kopel, an associate policy analyst at the Cato Institute, piled on the hypotheticals as far back as 1990, saying the Bureau would "probably" help the Department of Justice and that it "may not even keep its word." Kopel also repeats the story of the federal government's using census data to locate citizens of Japanese descent and imprisoning them in concentration camps. The Facts. The Census Bureau is bound by Title 13 of the US Code to protect the confidentiality of the information it gathers and it has always done so. Disclosure of confidential Census information is punishable by prison and fines (Census Bureau "Principles"). It cannot share confidential information even with other agencies. It is against the law for any Census Bureau employee to disclose or publish any private information that identifies an individual or business. This is true even for inter-agency communication: the FBI and other government entities do not have legal right to access census information. In fact, these protections have been challenged, Title 13's privacy and confidentiality guarantees have been upheld. In addition, other federal laws, including the Confidential Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act and the Privacy Act, reinforce these protections. (Census Bureau "Privacy") The purpose of the Census is to create aggregate information, not personal information. In other words, it profiles states, cities, and communities, not individuals, by aggregating (summarizing) the information it gathers from individuals. The personal, individual information is confidential and is not disclosed. The summaries are what we all use every day when we want to know the population of a city of the change in population over time and so forth. The Bureau uses sophisticated statistical procedures to ensure that information about an individual cannot be gleaned from the summary information about cities and communities that it publishes (Census Bureau "Safeguards"). The story of the federal government using census data to locate citizens of Japanese descent in 1942 is at least partially true, but the Census critics oversimplify the facts to the point of making misleading arguments and draw, what I believe to be, the wrong conclusions from it. Until recently, the Bureau has maintained that it did not divulge any confidential information to aid in internment. The Bureau maintained that it did not provide information on individuals, but that it did produce public, summary reports that identified neighborhoods where Japanese-Americans lived (Holmes). The Bureau officially acknowledged and apologized for this activity in 2000 (Watanabe). But a paper published in 2007 (Seltzer and Anderson) says that there is now evidence that the Bureau did, in 1943, provide to the Secret Service information on 79 individuals in the Washington D.C. area. The disclosures were legal at the time (Watanabe). Seltzer and Anderson also say this: "However, over time, and certainly in retrospect, Census Bureau came to realize that the provision of information gathered under a pledge of statistical confidentiality to law enforcement and intelligence agencies was antithetical to the Bureau's statistical mission.... In the post World War II period, the Census Bureau vigorously sought to end the confidentiality violations sanctioned by the Second War Powers Act." What lessons can we draw from this experience? I personally believe that the Bureau should not have provided special and personal information during World War II, and am heartened by the fact that the Bureau worked to close confidentiality loopholes in the law. But I am disheartened by the fact that, as recently as 2004, the Bureau provided specially tabulated population statistics on Arab Americans to the Department of Homeland Security (Watanabe). Although the disclosures were legal and only included summary statistics using already-public data, this strikes me as an example of how there are still those who will use "national security" to justify the use of Census data to try to identify individuals. In short, misuse of Census data has been extremely rare (are there any others than these two?). Misuse of Census data is not a common or recurring or systemic problem. Because the Bureau has a long history of systematic and professional protection of the confidentiality of Census records (see legal and procedural safeguards above and, for example, Benson), hypothesizing worst-case scenarios is more misleading than it is useful or informative. Summary I draw two conclusions from all this: First, the benefits of gathering the information with the Census and the ACS far outweigh the possible, but unlikely, abuses of that information. Second, I would rather have this kind of information gathered (as it is being done) under the Constitution, the U.S. Code, and the Code of Federal Regulations by elected officials and public servants under transparent conditions, than by un-accountable private-sector companies. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

As part of this work, the Edge coalition also has organized focus groups, interviewed librarians and hosted public meetings to discuss and share working drafts of the benchmarks and materials to support their use. With the recent launch of the Edge website and an Annual Conference program planned for Sunday, June 24, at 10:30 a.m., you have another two opportunities to learn more and provide feedback on this important initiative. The Edge benchmarks (currently in beta) are intended to help already-busy library staff efficiently assess, improve, and support public access technology services for their users. Related training and support materials are in development to support library staff in using benchmark data to advocate for maintained and increased funding for technology services. The Edge benchmarks are divided into three main groupings that assess community value (e.g., services that support digital literacy, education or e-government), engaging the community and decision makers (e.g., community needs assessment and community partnerships) and organizational management (e.g., technology planning, staff continuing education and technology deployment). In addition to seeking wide public comment on the current draft, the beta version of the Edge benchmarks will be pilot tested in select libraries in summer 2012. Now is the time to share your comments and feedback on what works well, what could work better or even what might be missing in the current draft. The benchmarks are here, and there is a feedback survey link here. You can also bring questions and comments to the Sunday program in Anaheim: Join us in Anaheim to learn how Edge will help libraries Sunday, June 24, 10:30 a.m. Anaheim Convention Center, Room 201B Join the Edge coalition in Anaheim to learn how Edge will help libraries assess, improve and advocate for enhanced public access technology services for their communities. This session will include an update on the initiative; an overview of the executive tool that will help library leaders communicate with the local decision makers about the benefits of continually re-investing in public access technology; and a moderated panel discussion with pilot librarians, a member of the Edge coalition, and a member of the Library Directors Advisory Group. Thanks to all the folks who already have provided input during the development process so far, and we look forward to your continued comments as the coalition continues to improve and refine the benchmarks and supporting materials.

This bill contains funding for the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) including the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) grants, as well as federal funding for school libraries. This bill (which has not been filed and does not yet have a bill number) was approved by the Committee on a 16-14 party line vote. Republicans opposed this bill largely over objections to the funding for the Affordable Care Act under the Department of Health and Human Services which is also contained in this bill. Included in this bill is *$30 million *for the Innovative Approaches to Literacy (IAL), which is a $400,000 increase over FY 2012. By law, a minimum of half of the funds under this program ($14.5 million) must go to school libraries in the neediest school districts as a competitive grant. The rest of the program will be allocated for national nonprofits that work for childhood literacy. Also included in this bill was level funding (funded at the same level as last year) for IMLS at *$231.9 million*. Of this IMLS money, *$184.7 million * was included for LSTA. Below is a breakdown of the LSTA money. 1. Grants to States which is a population-based formula grant designed to support library services in communities - Senate funded at *$156.3 million*. 2. Native American and Native Hawaiian Library Services to support improved access to library services for Native Americans, Alaska Native Villages, and Native Hawaiians - Senate funded at *$3.8 million*. 3. National Leadership Grants to support activities of national significance that enhances the quality of library services nationwide and provide coordination between libraries and museums - Senate funded at *$12 million*. 4. Laura Bush 21st Century Librarians is used to develop and promote the next generation of librarians - Senate funded at *$12.4 million*. There is no word when the entire Senate body will take action on this appropriations bill. In the U.S. House of Representatives, the Labor, Health and Human Services, and Educations (LHHS) Appropriations Subcommittee is expected to mark-up it's FY 2013 spending bill sometime in the next several weeks, however no date or time has been announced. http://www.districtdispatch.org/2012/06/u-s-senate-appropriations-committee-approves-funding-for-imls-and-school-libraries/ -- *Diedre Conkling** Lincoln County Library District P.O.

URL: From ann.reed at state.or.us Fri Jun 22 09:08:18 2012 From: ann.reed at state.or.us (Ann Reed) Date: Fri, 22 Jun 2012 16:08:18 +0000 Subject: [Libs-Or] IMLS Announces Grant to Identify Library E-Book Strategies Message-ID: <810CC03BDFB8D94883767344C8B7EE2E31304DFF@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local> [IMLS logo] 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. 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 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 awards 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.

The residency model also focuses on developing future library leaders who can be catalysts for transformative change. SLIS recently published a report summarizing the team's findings and recommendations. Download your free copy of Developing a Technology Integration Residency Model: The Catalyst Project Report at: http://slisweb.sjsu.edu/catalyst/ The report reviews the team's exploration of current residency models, as well as how librarians define and deploy emerging technology. It examines how residency programs can support libraries' ongoing efforts to identify and effectively integrate emerging technology that will best serve their users. The report also describes elements of a residency model that, once tested and refined, can provide the library profession with a replicable model. Next steps for the Catalyst project are to fully develop the residency program model, secure funding for the project's next phase, and test the model in several host library organizations. In addition, the team plans to create a replication toolkit to help future host institutions streamline implementation. "Our mission is to build strong leaders among early career library professionals who will be catalysts for transformative change in libraries," said Dr. Sandra Hirsh, SLIS director and Catalyst project director. "We hope the model will provide creative solutions, helping libraries respond to rapidly shifting priorities, enhance the quality of library services, and benefit their communities," added Hirsh. Project advisory partners include the Association of College and Research Libraries, the Public Library Association, and the Urban Libraries Council, as well as OCLC, an organization that offers a depth of global expertise regarding technology integration in libraries. Leaders from these partner organizations gathered to discuss the project in February 2012, and shared their thoughts regarding the project's potential impact on the profession. A video recording of their discussion is freely available on the SLIS website. The website also features recordings of presentations about the project, which were delivered at professional conferences earlier this year. The Catalyst project was launched in June 2011, thanks to a one-year planning grant awarded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Over the last year as the team has been developing the residency model, they gathered input from experts in emerging technology and residency models, as well as library leaders and representatives of professional organizations. The Catalyst team anticipates launching the pilot projects during 2013, as long as funding for the pilot projects can be secured. For more information about the Catalyst project, please email us at: SanJoseSLIS at gmail.com The San Jose State University School of Library and Information Science offers two fully online master's degrees, a fully online certificate program, and a doctoral program: Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS), Master of Archives and Records Administration (MARA), Post-Master's Certificate in Library and Information Science, and the San Jose Gateway PhD Program.

The City's new site will provide users with an improved experience, easier access to information, and more ways to connect with the City. Although the Library's content and look and feel is integrated with the City's site, we have our own distinct home page, global navigation and branding. This has allowed for a more seamless integration with our third-party vendor services such as LibGuides and BookLetters. We hope you explore the site, and we're happy to answer any questions about CivicPlus. The City of Beaverton, among others in Oregon, uses them too. Any questions may be directed to our Virtual Services Librarian, Lorie Vik.

The purpose of the class is for my school library grad students to experience and make connections in a public library. They usually choose a library close to the school where they presently teach and do a 60 hour practicum. Basically, I want them to shadow a librarian or other library staff and learn about the different libraries operate. They can also help with anything within the library to assist. They are students who have already become licensed librarians and are just finishing their Master's degree. We are interested, particularly in the Portland area for their experience since most of the students are from there this term. We have been offering this class for many years and, from the feedback I receive the experience is mutually beneficial and helps to forge great connections between schools and public libraries. Please let me know if you are willing to help us out and gain a highly qualified helper for the summer. They need to start asap and require little supervision on your part. -- Ruth Murray Portland State University GSE Library Media Advisor/Instructor 503 725- 9860 Office- Education 310B Hours- Tuesday and Thursday by appointment PO Box 751 Portland, Oregon 97207 From librarybusiness at yahoo.com Fri Jun 29 09:32:24 2012 From: librarybusiness at yahoo.com (dan cawley) Date: Fri, 29 Jun 2012 09:32:24 -0700 (PDT) Subject: [Libs-Or] foreign language learning audio Message-ID: <1340987544.83712.YahooMailClassic@web162005.mail.bf1.yahoo.com> our collection of foreign-language learning materials is old and tired (we still have a few battered cassettes). we are aware of the current popular online language resources: BBC, FSI, MOCHA, MANGO, etc.?
