Dahlgreen has served as the Interim State Librarian since the former State Librarian, Jim Scheppke, retired in late 2011. Ms. Dahlgreen's background includes working at the Oregon State Library for over sixteen years as Library Development Program Manager and Youth Services Consultant, and prior to that working in the King County Library System in Seattle, Washington. She holds a master's degree in librarianship from the University of Washington and a bachelor of arts in liberal studies from Western Washington University. "MaryKay's extensive knowledge and combined expertise with library services, including her experience in early childhood literacy, will prove invaluable in leading the State Library into the future," said Sam Hall, Chair, Oregon State Library Board of Trustees. The Board expressed their gratitude to the screening panel, State Library staff, and library stakeholders for their contributions to the recruitment process. They also expressed gratitude to Twyla Lawson, Senior Executive Recruiter, for leading recruitment process and the staff at the Department of Administrative Services (DAS) for their assistance. MaryKay Dahlgreen's new role is effective March 1, 2012. Return to top of page State Library News Oregon State Library 2012 Spring Lecture Series [Matt Love]The Oregon State Library is happy to announce the second lecture for our Spring Lecture series. Our next lecture is on Wednesday, March 28, in Room 103 from 12:00-1:00 and features author, publisher, historian, and teacher Matt Love. This is Matt's second lecture here with the first covering the 1970 Oregon Vortex rock concert. He will be discussing his new book, Love & The Green Lady: Meditations of the Yaquina Bay Bridge, Oregon's Crown Jewel of Socialism. This book blends an eclectic genre of literary genres and contains over 100 photographs, many taken by Love's photography students at Newport High School. In his presentation, Love will discuss last fall's 75th anniversary of the Yaquina Bay Bridge and bridge designer Conde McCullough's contribution to Oregon. In addition, he'll present a slide show illustrating his rewarding experience of teaching photography given a challenging education budget environment. Please come visit us on March 28.

Use OSLIS Lite while OSLIS is Rebuilt OSLIS is a K12 information literacy website developed and maintained by the Oregon Association of School Libraries in partnership with the Oregon State Library. It has three major components: information literacy resources, to guide students through the research process; Citation Maker, a tool for creating a bibliography or a works cited page in APA or MLA format; and access to the statewide subscription databases - the Gale suite and LearningExpress Library. Recently there were access issues with OSLIS that could not be resolved by two different vendors, and the end result is that the OSLIS website is being rebuilt. In the meantime, OSLIS users can access Citation Maker and the databases via a simple and temporary website called OSLIS Lite. Currently, any OSLIS URL will lead to OSLIS Lite, so all OSLIS bookmarks should work. When the rebuilt OSLIS is ready in late spring or early summer, it will replace OSLIS Lite. Until then, pieces such as the information literacy lessons, worksheets for Citation Maker, resources for educators, and the OSLIST archive are not available. If you have questions, please call (503-378-5011) or email Jennifer Maurer in Library Development at the Oregon State Library. Talking Book and Braille Services Participates in Georgia's Loblolly Accessibility Software Project [Loblolly Logo]In February, the Georgia Public Library Service (GPLS) began the planning process for developing open-source software designed for Talking Book libraries across the country. GPLS is known for having developed the open-source system, Evergreen, used by libraries world-wide (locally, Evergreen is used by the Sage Library System in Eastern Oregon). Using a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, GPLS gathered approximately 50 national leaders with expertise in library accessibility, Talking Book library service, and library software developers. The group was asked to lay the groundwork for developing the open-source specialized software necessary for managing Talking Book libraries. Representing Oregon was Elke Bruton, Public Services Librarian and library automation administrator for Talking Book and Braille Services. The three day conference was dialogue intensive but the group feels that they have a solid foundation from which to continue this exciting project. (A "loblolly" is a pine tree (Pinus taeda) of the southern US that has very long slender needles and is an important source of timber.) Get Help with Your Library Services and Technology Act Grant Proposal The application packet for FY2013 grant proposals is available on the web through the LSTA Competitive Grant Program page. Short proposals are due April 13, 2012. If you are working on an idea for a grant, feel free to contact Ann Reed at (503) 378-5027 or email ann.reed at state.or.us. We can answer any questions you may have and be a good sounding board for your idea. Save the Date for the 2012 Focus on Children and Young Adults Institute The 2012 Focus on Children and Young Adults Institute will take place on September 16-19 at Menucha Retreat Center in Corbett. Participants will check in between 4:30 and 5:30pm on Sunday and trainings will end by 1pm on Wednesday. The cost of $75 per person covers the training, meals, and lodging. Session details will be available in June and registration will take place in July. The Focus Institute seeks to provide a foundation of professional knowledge about youth services necessary for the operation of small public libraries. It is designed for library staff who serve children and teens, and have no graduate level education in librarianship. Participants will attend several training sessions over the course of three and a half days. The sessions concentrate on the principles of public library services to children and teens, and how to put those principles into practice. Training sessions are presented by highly skilled, experienced Youth Services Librarians in Oregon. Presenters are typically active members of the Oregon Library Association's Children's Services Division (CSD) and Oregon Young Adult Network (OYAN). The Focus Institute is able to keep costs low for participants because it is primarily supported by the Institute of Museum and Library Services through the Library Services and Technology Act, administered by the Oregon State Library. Libraries of Oregon Website Launched [Libraries of Oregon]Libraries of Oregon is a website that connects Oregon residents to statewide library resources and local public libraries. Website visitors can access databases that house articles, video clips, podcasts, and images from encyclopedias, newspapers, and magazines or use the 24/7 ask-a-librarian service to satisfy their information needs. These subscription databases, which are not freely available on the internet, and the ask-a-librarian service are paid for with federal Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) funds administered by the Oregon State Library. Oregon public libraries offer these same resources locally, and you can use this website's library locator to find your nearest public library. Libraries of Oregon is a joint effort by the Oregon State Library and the Oregon State University Libraries to connect Oregonians with library online resources around the state and beyond.

You do not have to specify the name of the library, city, or any other identifying info. I certainly won't keep that information with your substantive yes, no, some, or other responses. I will be using this info only anecdotally myself. QUESTION: If you are an Oregon public library, do you keep your late (and/or other) fines/fees for the library itself or are those revenues turned over to your jurisdiction's general fund? If you know of a report (of fairly recent vintage) that compiles and analyzes such data, from Oregon, ALA, or other org, I'd like to know that too, but it is not necessary to do any research unless you happen to be curious about this yourself. Almost anything you can tell me to update my knowledge from 1974 (when I last fielded this question, very delicately, in a public library in Philadelphia) would be very helpful. Thank you!

ALA President Molly Raphael issued the following statement:**** "While I appreciate Random House's engagement with libraries and its commitment to perpetual access," Raphael said, "I am deeply disappointed in the severe escalation in ebook pricing reported today. Calling on our history together and our hope to satisfy mutual goals moving forward, the American Library Association strongly urges Random House to reconsider its decision. In a time of extreme financial constraint, a major price increase effectively curtails access for many libraries, and especially our communities that are hardest hit economically.**** "Also, ALA appreciates the data gaps that exist, and we commit to work quickly and collaboratively to address this concern. We must have better data to inform decisions that have such wide and deep implications.**** "Finally, we recognize and thank those publishers and aggregators that have worked with libraries on e-book lending models at a time of significant disruption and change. Libraries must have the ability to purchase a wide range of digital content at a fair price so that all readers have full access to our world's creative and cultural resources, especially those who depend on libraries as their only source of reading material.**** "Libraries belong at the center of this digital revolution, not on the periphery. We continue to seek partners to further our shared goals of connecting readers and authors well into the 21st century."**** As posted on the e-content blog (same statement):**** http://americanlibrariesmagazine.org/e-content/ala-calls-random-house-reconsider-major-ebook-price-increase **** ** ** ** ** -- *Diedre Conkling** Lincoln County Library District P.O.

On Monday, the publishing company Elsevier (the rumored bill backer) publicly announcedit was withdrawing support for the Research Works Act - essentially rendering the bill dead. And just to be sure there were no misgiving about the bill's status, its co-sponsors, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) and Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), released a joint statementexplaining, The American people deserve to have access to research for which they have paid. This conversation needs to continue and we have come to the conclusion that the Research Works Act has exhausted the useful role it can play in the debate. As such, we want Americans concerned about access to research and other participants in this debate to know we will not be taking legislative action on HR 3699, the Research Works Act. The *New York Times* weighed in by publishing a pieceon the topic and explained the White House's Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) is also working on the access issue and is preparing a progress report to be submitted to Congress in a few weeks. (The ALA and Association of College & Research Libraries submitted comments(pdf) to OSTP in response to their call for input in December.) *Library Journal *reportedon the development as well, and said "The publisher [Elsevier] had been the target of a boycott among academics..." Then yesterday the *Washington Times* published an article titled *Scientists Protest Cost of Research Journals * that links the backlash of epic proportions by academics against Elsevier with Elsevier's succumbing to pulling the plug on the Research Works Act. So where does this leave open access, publishing and current legislation? For one thing, academics have united and are pushing back on existing publishing models which require the public to "pay twice" for access to federally funded research (i.e. taxpayers funding the research being conducted and then paying again to access the resulting peer-reviewed journal articles). For another, with the Research Works Act essentially abandoned, the path is clear to focus our energy on moving positive legislation that would *expand* access to federally funded research (paid by taxpayers, us!). As luck would have it the Federal Research Public Access Act (FRPAA) of 2012 (S. 2096 , H.R. 4004) was recently introduced in both the Senate and the House and enjoys bipartisan support. In a recent blog postheralding FRPAA's introduction, I pointed out that its passage would be a big step in the right direction by expanding the amount of research made available* and* providing access to it without additional charges to us, the taxpayers - in step with what Reps. Issa and Maloney say the American people deserve. The ALA has a strong history of support for FRPAA legislation - as it builds on the success of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Public Access Policy implemented in 2008. In addition, the ALA and ACRL also joined a recent coalition letter(pdf) thanking FRPAA's co-sponsors for reintroducing the legislation. ALA members can expect to receive notice of a *call to action* at key junctures as we work to seek passage of this *pro-*open access legislation.

I just found out the abridged Dewey Decimal Classification book was just updated and is now available for purchase from OCLC. The last time it was updated was in 2004. I thought small libraries would want to know. A new abridged version of the Dewey Decimal Classification is now available to purchase. Abridged Edition 15 presents a logical abridgement of the recently released DDC 23 and includes many parallel updates to content and structure. These changes reflect the many changes to the body of human knowledge that have occurred since Abridged Edition 14 was published back in 2004. The abridged edition of the Dewey Decimal Classification is ideal for libraries with collections of 20,000 titles or fewer. The system provides the right level of detail needed to classify the materials in those collections, and is compatible with the unabridged edition should your collection expand and require deeper classification detail. Joan Mitchell, DDC Editor in Chief, recently conducted an information session covering the many new topics and significant updates to selected fields available in Abridged Edition 15. You can access a recording of the webinar via the details below. In this session, you will learn how Abridged 15: ? Greatly increases classifier efficiency ? Is more intuitive for the way classifiers work ? Benefits libraries with smaller collections, with its selected major updates and new numbers View the Abridged 15 Sneak Preview Webinar online at: http://tiny.cc/vmaf2b To learn more about Abridged 15 including how to order, visit Dewey on the Web at: http://www.oclc.org/us/en/dewey/ Questions?

Covers descriptive elements, access points, and authority records. 1:00 pm-5:00 pm Steps to Linked Data Speaker: Karen Coyle You have undoubtedly heard about the Semantic Web and linked data, but it may not yet be clear to you what makes your metadata usable as "linked data." This half-day session will take you through the basic steps of creating data that can play well on the Web, with hands-on exercises that will help you understand these concepts. We'll take some time at the end of the session to apply what we've learned in a discussion on the future of library data and the new bibliographic framework. Speaker information: Adam L. Schiff is Principal Cataloger, University of Washington Libraries, Seattle. Adam trains catalogers, develops cataloging policies, and serves as the NACO, SACO, and BIBCO coordinator and a liaison to the Program for Cooperative Cataloging. He is a NACO trainer and teaches several Catalogers Learning Workshop courses. From 2006-2010, Adam chaired one of the two RDA Examples Groups created by the Joint Steering Committee for Development of RDA to provide the examples included in the text of RDA. He is currently chair of the ALCTS Subject Analysis Committee's Subcommittee on Genre/Form Implementation. Karen Coyle is a librarian specializing in metadata development, with a particular interest in the future of bibliographic control. She recently served on the W3C Incubator Group on Library Linked Data, and has written three Library Technology Reports on the Semantic Web and library data. The morning session is sponsored by the Technical Services Round Table (TSRT), and the afternoon session is co-sponsored by TSRT and the Library Technology Round Table.

Today, we have an equally important ask for your two U.S. Senators. Please call both of your senators and ask them to support *two* separate "Dear Colleague" letters that very closely reflect the ones making rounds in the House of Representatives. The first letter, found here, supports funding for the Innovative Approaches to Literacy Grant in FY13. This grant is crucial because at least half of it would go to low-income school libraries to help update their books and materials. You can find additional talking points for this letter here . The second letter, found here, supports funding for the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) in FY13. LSTA is the primary source of funding for libraries in the federal budget. Please go to the Legislative Action Center (LAC)to find talking points and information on how your senators can sign on to these letters. You will also be able to find the office phone numbers for your two senators. The deadline to sign these two letters is *March 26* so please call before then. Thank you to all who have already made the call to your U.S. Representative. It is not too late to make the call if you haven't yet. Now, you can use the LAC to call your senators and representative in the same sitting. It only takes a matter of minutes to speak out for libraries!

You can help take some of the pressure off by letting them know about the resources in LearningExpress Library?s College Preparation learning center. LEL offers two AP practice exams each for biology, calculus, chemistry, English language & composition, English literature & composition, European history, U.S. government, and U.S. history. There is also a section called College Admissions Preparation. Click on it to find six eBooks about college admissions essay preparation. (If essays were due already, there?s always next year.) In addition, remember that the College Preparation learning center has eCourses, eTests, and eBooks designed to prepare students for the ACT, SAT, and PSAT. There are resources for all major test sections, including critical reading, math, writing ? and science for ACT. Plus, some resources focus on study skills and strategies or vocabulary development. [cid:image001.png at 01CCFC5F.B3321BC0] Recall that to access the resources on LEL, users must first create an account and then log in. Students determine their own user names and passwords because ultimately they are creating a personal space for storing tests, courses, or books they have taken or accessed. This is how to create an account for LEL: (See the paragraph below about avoiding double accounts.) Click on the LearningExpress link from your library?s website or from any Find Information page on OSLIS (or on OSLIS Lite). At the bottom of the center column on the LEL homepage, click on Register, found under New Users. Fill out the short form and click on Register. (An email address is not required. However, you cannot receive password reminders if you do not include an email address.) Note your user name and password for future reference. Now that LearningExpress Library is also available in Oregon Career Information Systems (CIS), you?ll want to have students choose which way to access LEL. Why? Because the LEL account in CIS is associated with a user?s CIS portfolio login so is separate and distinct from any account the user creates via the LEL link on your library?s website or OSLIS. In other words, if a user creates a LearningExpress Library account via the link on your library?s website or on OSLIS, the results of any LearningExpress tests saved in that account cannot be accessed via the CIS account, and vice versa. To access LEL via CIS, users log in to CIS, click on My Career Planning Portfolio at the top right of the page, create a portfolio or log in to their existing portfolio, and then click on My Learning Express (last option on page). After clicking on Continue, users will get right in to LEL without having to log in to it separately because the LEL account is connected to their existing CIS account. When they are done using LEL and log out, they will still be logged in to CIS. Questions? Please ask.

During Preservation Week @ your library, themed ?Pass it on,? participating libraries will offer special programs and services that will help connect library users with preservation tools; promote the importance of preservation; and will strive to enhance knowledge of preservation issues within the general public. Each weekday libraries will focus on a preservation theme: Monday LP (vinyl) records, Tuesday quilts, Wednesday comic books, Thursday slides, Friday digital photos and Saturday old family letters. PIO has created a number of publicity resources at http://tinyurl.com/pw12ptk for libraries to use to promote Preservation Week events and programs. The toolkit includes Preservation Week logos; program ideas; media templates; bookmarks and much more. Preservation Week @ your library was created in 2010 because some 630 million items in collecting institutions require immediate attention and care. Eighty percent of these institutions have no paid staffs assigned responsibility for collections care; 22 percent have no collections care personnel at all. Some 2.6 billion items are not protected by an emergency plan. As natural disasters of recent years have taught us, these resources are in jeopardy should a disaster strike. Personal, family and community collections are equally at risk. Preservation Week @ your library is a collaborative effort supported by the Association for Library Collections and Technical Services, a division of the American Library Association, Library of Congress and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

It is playing only 4 times-April 13, 14 at Ainsworth House and Gardens in Oregon City and April 20 and 22 at Scottish Rite Center Theater in Portland. See the following message with details from Theresa Koon. I am writing to ask for your help in getting the word out about the upcoming production of Promise, an operatic drama I wrote about the sculptor Camille Claudel. I've been working with a wonderful group of performers and directors to bring Promise to life. Kevin Yell, our inspired director, has woven elements of dance and movement into the passionate story. Students at the Pacific NW College of Art have created sculptures for us to help illuminate Camille's tortured relationship with her art. David Hattner from Portland Youth Philharmonic will conduct the lively ensemble of 45th Parallel and a group of talented singers and actors from the Northwest and beyond. I hope you will mark your calendar, as there are just four shows, April 13th and 14th at the Ainsworth House & Gardens in Oregon City, and April 20th and 22nd at Scottish Rite Center Theater, Portland. Ticket information is given below. In exploring the story of Camille Claudel, I was fascinated by a quality of radiant stillness in her work, combined with an atmosphere of spiritual eroticism--a combination I had never seen before. I wanted to understand what moved Camille to destroy her art and withdraw it from the world. What did that say about her and about the society in which she lived? Did her relationship with her brother Paul Claudel influence the eventual choices she made? As many of you know, while working on this newest version of Promise I have enjoyed the mentorship of award-winning playwright and librettist John Murrell. I hope you will come to see the direction this work has taken. Here is an excerpt from our current press release about Promise: Camille Claudel was a risk-taking artist in France who studied with the famous Rodin in Paris during the late 1800s. This operatic drama hybrid travels through her life as a sculptor, lover, sister, daughter and the artist she became. Although most known for her progressive, sensual and autobiographic works, Claudel haunts history for destroying many of her own sculptures. Theresa Koon's passionate portrait paints Claudel's tumultuous struggle with her family, her affair with Rodin and her burning inner conflict about whether or not to allow her creativity out in the world. All these elements influenced her eventual unraveling into the renowned icon that she is remembered as today. If you are willing to share information about this production with your networks, I would be most grateful. Please let me know if you need additional information or the full press release. There is also more information on the website at www.promisetheopera.wordpress.com. For groups interested in buying tickets, we have a discounted rate for groups of 20 or more. For people coming from out of town, we have arranged for discounted rooms at the DeLuxe Hotel in Portland, which is next door to the Scottish Rite Center Theater. Simply mention Promise when you make your reservation: 503-219-2094. I look forward to seeing you in April!

Preservation Week @ your library was created in 2010 because some 630 million items in collecting institutions require immediate attention and care. Eighty percent of these institutions have no paid staffs assigned responsibility for collections care; 22 percent have no collections care personnel at all. Some 2.6 billion items are not protected by an emergency plan. As natural disasters of recent years have taught us, these resources are in jeopardy should a disaster strike. Personal, family and community collections are equally at risk. Preservation Week @ your library is a collaborative effort supported by the Association for Library Collections and Technical Services, a division of the American Library Association, Library of Congress and the Institute of Museum and Library Services. For more information on Preservation Week @ your library please visit www.ala.org/preservationweek . -- Kristen Kern Fine and Performing Arts Librarian Portland State Library 503-725-5218 kernk at pdx.edu -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This is an ideal opportunity for Library and Information Studies students with an interest in Cataloging. Interns will work closely with the Systems Librarian to learn practical skills in cataloging from the perspective of a small specialized medical library. Depending on the library's need and the student's interests, the Cataloging Intern may perform some of the following tasks: * Creating original catalog records in MARC; * Editing and exporting copy catalog records from OCLC Connexion; * Assessing (and updating) our current classification assignments; * Reviewing and editing catalog records in Millennium; * Creating on-line tutorials for students and staff. *--Qualifications--* Minimum of a Bachelor?s degree from an accredited college or university is required. Current student or recent graduate of an ALA-accredited library school is preferred. Other qualifications we're looking for include: * Cataloging experience, whether professional or academic, is preferred; interest in cataloging is essential. * Familiarity with MARC and/or experience with Innovative cataloging software is desirable, but not essential. * Higher education, non-profit, and/or health care related experience is desirable. * Familiarity with Traditional Chinese Medicine preferred, but not required. *--Hours and Stipend--* This is an unpaid internship, but we do offer a $250 stipend to be awarded upon successful completion. This position will run for 8-14 weeks through the Spring term. We request a minimum commitment of 80 hours over the course of the internship (additional hours are available if desired). This internship is also available for course credit with the permission of your school. *--Applying for this Position--* Qualified applicants should email a cover letter and resume to Veronica Vichit-Vadakan, OCOM Systems Librarian, at *vvv at ocom.edu.* The cover letter should specifically indicate relevant experience and skills.

The goal is for ?kids to borrow and read environmentally themed books from their library. The purpose of the campaign is twofold: to educate youth about the environment, and to inspire them to read books more often.? A rep from the Earth Day Network told me that ALA just signed on as a partner, which basically means they endorse the program. For those who want to register their library and document a few activities, they can receive recognition at the end of the campaign. Or, go low key, don?t register, and participate at your leisure. ;-) The website, http://www.earthday.org/reading, has suggested reading lists, PDFs of promotional posters, suggested activities, an organizer?s guide, and more. http://www.earthday.org/encouragereading (posters and reading lists) http://www.earthday.org/RegisterYourLibrary (register your library) http://www.earthday.org/OrganizeReading (suggested activities and organizer?s guide) http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/1807/images/2012/Reading/readingtoolkit.pdf (overall summary) If you plan to participate, consider supplementing your collection of books about the environment by bookmarking specific articles or searches in the Gale databases. Then post the recommended reading or resource list (of bookmarks) to your library webpage, create a QR code that directs to the page of links and add it to a newsletter article, send the links to your local homeschooling association, etc. Not comfortable using Gale bookmarks that way? Then maybe the Gale webinar on April 3rd at 11am Pacific is for you: Finding eResources to Support Library Programming. Here?s a sample of bookmarked items from the Gale databases that promote learning about the environment. If prompted for a "password, library barcode number, or other ID," use the password of Oregon school districts' and private schools' Gale login (which is oslis for everyone) or enter your own library barcode number. >From GREENR, a topic page about Forests and Deforestation: http://tinygaleurl.com?br3lds6 >From Student Resources in Context, an audio clip about listening to sounds in habitats to gauge the health of landscapes: http://tinygaleurl.com?ovdbuyz >From Gale Virtual Reference Library, an article about midwife toads with a section on their conservation status: http://tinygaleurl.com?ongotpj >From Kids InfoBits, a ?go green? quiz: http://tinygaleurl.com?38xc5hx Questions about the Reading for the Earth campaign?

What successes have you had?? What has failed?? What are your tried and true methods?? What are your wild and ambitious brainstorms?? Has your library been in a crisis that demanded an emergency advocacy plan?? Have you been building a sustained long-term advocacy effort for years??

Hello! The national Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP) is conducting a survey for all library staff at public libraries across the country.

Eugene's mild climate and lush landscape are a few of the City's attractive features. Eugene is well-known as the home of the University of Oregon. With 20,000 students and over 6,000 employees, the University plays a major role in the community, as does Lane Community College and Northwest Christian University.

The University brings a more cosmopolitan feel to the community, and the collegiate teams have contributed excitement and pride on a regional basis. The City's Hult Center for the Performing Arts, recognized as the finest facility of its type in the state, brings renowned entertainers to the community throughout the year. It is home to seven resident companies, including among others the Eugene Symphony, Opera, Ballet, and the internationally acclaimed Oregon Bach Festival.

Message-ID: <4F679ECA.5080202@pdx.edu> Hello All, I just got wind of a request process going on to staff L-Net after hours (see below) . It's kind of late in the game for this year - the proposals are due by Friday March 30th, and the last day for questions to Sue Robinson ( 503 988 3355) is this Friday, March 23rd. If you call Sue Robinson you can get a copy of the full Request for Proposals and also a spread sheet of the times that need to be covered as well as the number of questions that typically happen during those hours. I just thought it would be great for an enterprising Oregon Librarian to put together a proposal that might help keep more librarians in Oregon working - and doing great L-Net work at that! -Bob Schroeder *Request for Intermediate Proposals (RIP) for Virtual Reference Service Provider March 1, 2012 PROPOSALS DUE: Friday, March 30, 2012 4:00 PM PT Refer Questions in Writing to: Sue Robinson Senior Procurement Analyst 205 NE Russell Street 503-988-3355 Fax 503-988-5511 suer at multcolib.org * *The last day for questions regarding this solicitation is Friday, March 23, 2012-- 2:00 PM PT **Submit Proposals to the Attention of: Multnomah County Department of Libraries Attention Sue Robinson 205 NE Russell Street 503-988-3355 Fax 503-988-5511 suer at multcolib.org* Proposals by fax, Proposals by email Here is the first part of the RIP: INTRODUCTION: Beginning in 2003, The Multnomah County Library (MCL) received a Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) grant from the Oregon State Library to coordinate a statewide virtual reference service, L-net. L-net provides access to a reference librarian via live chat, text messaging and e-mail to everyone who lives, works or goes to school in Oregon. 39 libraries in Oregon work together to deliver the service roughly Monday-Friday, 9am-8pm Pacific Time, plus some weekend hours, and a virtual reference service provider extends the hours to 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The Library is seeking a virtual reference service provider to extend the hours to 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for July 1 2012 to June 30, 2013. The provider should employ librarians who have experience in libraries as well as experience providing virtual reference. The provider and their employees should be willing to follow L-net's service philosophy (www.oregonlibraries.net/philosophy) and rubric for quality in virtual reference (http://www.oregonlibraries.net/notable) when delivering virtual reference service to L-net patrons. SCOPE OF WORK: The Library currently provides virtual reference service via live chat, e-mail and text messaging. The Library is seeking to contract a virtual reference service provider to deliver chat and text messaging reference service through our SparkRef instant messaging client, as well as new formats that can be integrated into that client in the future. SparkRef is a modified version of Spark from Jive Software. It is a Java-based instant messaging client and is available for Windows, Macintosh and Linux. It can be downloaded from www.oregonlibraries.net/spark and test logins are available upon request. The library seeks staffing (all times Pacific): Sunday: Midnight to 1:59pm, 7:00pm to 11:59pm Monday -- Thursday: Midnight to 8:59am, 8:00pm to 11:59pm Friday: Midnight to 8:59am, 5:00pm to 11:59pm Saturday: Midnight to 9:59am, 2:00pm to 11:59pm For these hours, our service is generally busiest during the school year (mid-September to June) during the hours of our local coverage, 9am-8pm. The rest of the time, traffic averages fewer than five patrons per hour. Attached is a spreadsheet detailing traffic by hour on our service from February 1, 2011 to January 31, 2012, and broken out by weekends vs. weekdays. In delivering service, librarians will follow L-net's service philosophy (www.oregonlibraries.net/philosophy) and rubric for quality in virtual reference (http://www.oregonlibraries.net/notable). Specifically, librarians will: 1. Respond to queries in a reasonable amount of time. Patrons should wait less than one minute for service. 2. Greet patrons with a friendly and welcoming tone. 3. Conduct a reference interview to clarify the patron's request. 4. Use authoritative sources to answer questions, including licensed resources available to Oregon citizens. The Library will provide access to these for the contractor. 5. Ask follow-up questions to confirm the patron's needs are met. 6. Offer additional help to each patron. 7. Offer to refer patrons to L-net's follow-up service when questions can't be answered in live chat. The SparkRef software provides an easy way to refer patrons to local or subject expect librarians. -- "OCCUPY RESEARCH!" _________________________________________________________ Robert Schroeder Education and University Studies Librarian, Coordinator of Library General Education Instruction Associate Professor Portland State University 503.725.4519 phone 503.725.4524 fax schroedr at pdx.edu P.O Box 1151 Portland OR 97207-1151 280F Millar Library -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

WEBINAR: Serving the Blind and Visually Impaired in Your Library Thursday, April 5, 2012, 1:00 - 2:30 p.m. Central Time REGISTER NOW. The need for services to the blind and visually impaired is relevant to all libraries. This webinar will introduce the Service Frontiers in BVIP Initiative for blind and visually impaired patrons. During the session we will review the definition of blindness; explore disability etiquette; and learn where the blind are and how to attract them with our library services. Service Frontiers in BVIP is a first-of-its-kind in the U.S. and we will create a successful model for public libraries around the country. This program will focus on developing partnerships ?between libraries and the blind & visually impaired community? which will promote an ongoing exchange of needs, ideas and solutions for improving library services to this underserved population. Who Should Attend: Public and academic Librarians; library staff communicating and serving this community; reference librarians identifying and delivering information materials to this community; web developers interested in gaining a practical understanding of Section 508. Instructor: Buna Dahal, internationally acclaimed leadership strategist, ADA consultant, and secretary for the National Federation of the Blind of Colorado Registration starts at $40 for ASCLA members. Single-login group rates are $99. ONLINE COURSE: Improving Library Services to People With Disabilities Apr. 23 - May 18, 2012 Two live course chat meetings: Thursday, May 3 & 17, from 3-4 pm CENTRAL/Chicago Time REGISTER NOW. Previous course offerings have sold out! Library services to people with disabilities are provided by all levels of library staff. From the part-time aide charging out library materials to the library director determining policies, staff skills and attitudes are crucial for a satisfactory library experience. All libraries have a plan for serving people with disabilities, whether it is the installation of ramps or the creation of special needs story times. But improvements are always possible. Library staff who enroll will review the current level of service to people with disabilities then explore materials and sources that provide additional support or new ideas. Who Should Take This Course: This course is designed for all library staff, including support staff, general professional staff, age-level or subject specialists, managers and administrators. Instructor: Kate Todd has worked as a children?s librarian for The New York Public Library and as Emerging Technologies Librarian for Manhattanville College, where she also taught ?Technology for Special Education? in the graduate School of Education.

Latino communities continue to grow and we continue to puzzle over how to get this significant segment of our communities into the library. This webinar will introduce practical and simple techniques that libraries of all sizes can use to begin the process of making Latinos feel welcome and comfortable in the library. Participants will learn how to work with and challenge the language and cultural barriers that keep Latinos from using the library. Who Should Attend: Anyone whose library serves Latino/Spanish-speaking populations and who is interested in implementing a plan to bring more Latinos into the library and make them feel welcome.

National Poetry Month is the perfect time remind everyone about the Oregon Poetry Collection at the State Library. In 2007, the Oregon State Library and the Oregon Poetry Association joined together to preserve, promote, and make accessible publications of Oregon poets. Publications in this special collection are written by Oregon poets, past and present, or deal substantially with Oregon subject matter. Any Oregonian, with a current photo ID, may check out circulating items from the Oregon Poetry Collection by coming to the State Library's Reference Room or asking their local library to request the item through interlibrary loan. Please use this online catalog to find out what is in our collection! A few years ago the Oregon Poetry Collection worked with a graphic designer to create two posters promoting Oregon poetry. One looks a little edgy and perfect for teens and young adults while the other is classic with a William Stafford poem. These posters are available for you to download and print via our website. They are available in the standard 11x8.5 as well as 22x28. The Oregon Poetry Collection is dependent on donations. All gifts and donations become the property of the State Library, which is primarily responsible for monographs, or the Oregon State Poetry Association, which is responsible for ephemeral and archival items. Any items that are needed will be added to the collection. All other items will be distributed to other organizations or entities as deems appropriate. If you would like to donate poetry books written by Oregon poets please ship them to: Oregon State Library att: Oregon Poetry Collection 250 Winter St. NE Salem, OR 97301 Enjoy, Katie Katie Anderson, Library Development Services * Youth Services Consultant * Oregon Center for the Book Coordinator * Oregon State Library, 250 Winter St. NE, Salem, OR 97301 katie.anderson at state.or.us, 503-378-2528 PS: If the hyperlinks don't work, try copying and pasting the following URLs into your browser: * Oregon Poetry Association: http://www.oregonpoets.org/ * Oregon Poetry Collection's online catalog: http://catalog.osl.state.or.us/search~S2/d?SEARCH=oregon+poetry+collection * Posters: http://www.oregon.gov/OSL/LD/youthsvcs/oregon.poetry.collection.shtml#Print_Oregon_Poetry_Posters -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In a new report, Restoring Contemplation: How Disconnecting Bolsters the Knowledge Economy, author Jessie L. Mannisto outlines future directions for libraries and other social institutions to improve our capacity for thoughtful endeavor. These changes, the report argues, are essential for success in a globally competitive economy and a higher quality of life. Mannisto, an OITP Research Associate and recent Google Policy Fellow, observes a growing imbalance between the information gathering pursuits of web surfing, social media, email and text messages and more contemplative information processing and synthesis. Creating a more balanced and healthy diet, whether it concerns food or information, demands concerted attention. "We enjoy the wondrous benefits of instant networked communication," said Bonnie Tijerina, Chair of ALA's OITP Advisory Committee. "However, these new technologies skew us towards a quick, reactive communications style-sometimes good, but often not." Drawing from a growing body of research on the neural consequences of hyperconnectivity, Restoring Contemplationrecommends that public and private funders support programs to increase awareness, education, and services for the general public, both in libraries and throughout society. Options for libraries might include creating a contemplative resource center, supporting and reinforcing student reflection as part of the school day, or using books and exhibits to enable and encourage discussion of our technological habits. "Deep thought needs a champion," said OITP Director Alan Inouye, "and libraries have a long and respected history of promoting contemplation. For example, libraries encourage reading through book lending and children's storytelling, and we support students working on their term papers. In the digital age, programming to promote thinking is critical and deserves even greater emphasis." Mannisto encourages us to envision a National Commission on Cognition in the Digital Age that draws on the expertise of psychologists, sociologists, technology developers, network engineers and others. This commission could determine areas for additional research and coordinate large-scale initiatives to address real problems facing information users-as well as the larger knowledge economy. "To discuss the downside of hyperconnection is not to call for Luddite rebellion. Such regression would be neither possible nor desirable," Mannisto concludes. "Our ultimate goal will be not to rebel against the Information Age, but to thrive in it." Restoring Contemplationis the second in a series of short publications called OITP Perspectives, which complement OITP Policy Briefs. The new series provides an outlet for topics that are more specialized than those covered by policy briefs, as well as allowing more rapid response to current issues. More OITP publications are available on the ALA website.

They help small business owners formulate plans; graduates find funding; children fall in love with reading; grandparents connect with grandchildren; corporations save money and improve products; seniors get comfortable with the latest technology; and students get into gaming. Yet these public servants are rarely recognized publicly. National Library Workers Day is a way to do so. Since 2003, National Library Workers Day (NLWD) has been celebrated on the Tuesday of National Library Week. The day recognizes the contributions of all library workers, including librarians, support staff and others who make library services possible. This year National Library Workers Day is April 10. The American Library Association-Allied Professional Association (ALA-APA) encourages those who will celebrate the day to nominate "star" library employees for public recognition. ALA-APA will post the nominations on its NLWD website. Anyone may nominate a "Star" library worker or team for creativity, enthusiasm, customer service or that special something they add to a library. Stars can be anyone - students, workers, supervisors or even yourself. Submit nominations through the NLWD website. New nominations will be showcased in the Galaxy of Stars on the NLWD website each week. There are many ways to celebrate. In addition to nominating Stars, NLWD celebrants can advocate for increased funding and staffing in libraries; invite the public to see who makes it possible for that favorite DVD or book to be available; deliver book-shaped cookies to branches; send thank you notes to their favorite workers; or purchase t-shirts, bags or stickers from the newly expanded NLWD store (many gift items are less than $10). For more ideas on ways to celebrate, visit the Celebration Ideas page. How are you celebrating NWLD? Let us know by posting your ideas and activities on the ALA-APA's Facebook page. ALA-APA, an affiliate of the American Library Association, is a non-profit professional organization dedicated to promoting the interests of library workers. ALA-APA established National Library Workers Day in 2003 in order to acknowledge the efforts of library workers nationwide.
