Protecting Intellectual Freedom in Your Public Library: Scenarios from the Front Lines. Chicago, IL: American Library Association. There is arguably no arena more contentious in the battle over intellectual freedom (IF) than the public library. When confronted with challenges like censorship and policy disputes, public librarians and paraprofessionals need reliable how-to guidance, and Pinnell-Stephens offers exactly that in this valuable resource. Chock-full of case studies, real-life examples, and hypothetical scenarios, this book provides * An easy and thoroughly engaging way to introduce new employees to basic IF concepts * Incisive analysis of how IF plays out in the world of public libraries * Practical advice on how to effectively handle intellectual freedom challenges * Numerous sidebars, written by IF expert Deborah Caldwell-Stone, detailing copyright laws, statutes, past court cases, and sample policies A concise summary of what's at stake and how to react, Protecting Intellectual Freedom in Your Public Library will prepare public library personnel to face the issues at hand.

Return to top of page State Library News Oregon State Library 2012 Spring Lecture Series - Lecture #4 [JeffLaLande]The Oregon State Library is pleased to announce our fourth and final lecture for our Spring Lecture series. Our next lecture is Wednesday, May 30, in Room 103 from 12:00-1:00 and features Jeff LaLande, independent historian and co-editor of the Oregon Encyclopedia. His presentation is entitled, "How Southern Oregon Got Its Ornery Streak: The Politics of Dissonance and Resentment". Dating from before statehood to the present day, Southern Oregon's conservative-populist politics have made for a distinctive and often ornery reputation. This illustrated talk will explore the reasons for this tradition from the region's pro-Southern attitude during the Civil War, its support for populist third parties, to a dramatic political insurrection during the great Depression and the State of Jefferson's secession movement of the 1940s. Jeff received his MA in Archaeology from Oregon State University and his Ph.D in American History from the University of Oregon. He recently retired from the United States Forest Service as an Archaeologist and Historic Preservation Specialist. Please join us on May 30 as we bring our Spring Lecture Series to a close. Our Fall Lecture Series will be announced some time during the summer. OSL and WVGS Celebrate Silver Anniversary In 1967 a group of 11 genealogists from the Salem area began meeting regularly to share their research projects. For the next two years they met in homes, churches and grange halls. In early 1969 they formalized their name to Willamette Valley Genealogical Society and began a quarterly publication, Beaver Briefs, and monthly newsletter. Over the next 20 years they continued to move their meetings and growing collection to various locations in and around Salem. Finally, at their April 1987 meeting, the membership voted to form a partnership with the Oregon State Library. The Society donated their extensive collection to the library and, in exchange, members had a place to meet on a regular basis and a permanent home for their collection, making it easily available to other genealogists. Over the years WVGS has donated several thousand genealogy resources to the State Library. Their members have researched and compiled 44 publications ranging from cemetery indices, probate records, marriage records, newspaper excerpts, etc. The resources of the WVGS Genealogical Resource Center line the shelves of the Reference Room at the State Library. In exchange for cataloging and housing the collection, WVGS helps recruit and train volunteers who are available during library hours, and one Saturday a month, to help patrons with their genealogy research. WVGS members and OSL staff have a 25 year partnership that has been mutually beneficial to both agencies. This month we celebrate our long relationship and look forward to a continued partnership of sharing resources, space and a love of historical research. Seeking Nominations for the Statewide Database Licensing Advisory Committee [Logos]On behalf of the LSTA Advisory Council, the Oregon State Library is now accepting nominations for four upcoming vacancies on the Statewide Database Licensing Advisory Committee (SDLAC): Position #4 - Public library serving 25,000 to 100,000, Position #5 - Academic library from an Oregon community college, Position #6 - School library drawn from OASL membership, and Position #10 - Tribal library representative. Terms are for three years, and they begin on July 1, 2012 and end on June 30, 2015. Nominations are being accepted online through Friday, May 11, 2012, 5:00 pm. For information about expectations and about which libraries or institutions qualify for each position, review the Libs-Or announcement or call (503.378.5011) or email Jennifer Maurer in Library Development. 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 5:30 pm on Sunday and trainings will end by 1 pm 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. Less Than 1% of Schools Met QEM Library Guidelines in 2009-10 [QEMMap]The Oregon Quality Education Commission seeks to establish, through the Quality Education Model (QEM), an objective and research-based link between student achievement and the resources devoted to Oregon schools to use as a guide in adequate funding. Annually, the School Library Consultant at the State Library uses data supplied by ODE to compare how school libraries fared against QEM fully funded guidelines for library spending and staffing. For the 2009-10 school year, only 5 of 1,303 schools, or .38%, met the minimum criteria. At the elementary level, criteria included employing at least a .5 FTE licensed school librarian and .5 FTE library support staff while spending $26 or more per student on library books and periodicals; for middle schools it was 1 FTE librarian, 1 FTE support staff, and $32 per student; and for high schools it was 1 FTE, 1FTE, and $37. This compares to 10 out of 1,318 schools, or 0.76%, that met the QEM criteria for the 2008-09 school year, and 46 out of 1,263 schools, or 3.64%, for the 2006-07 school year. (There was no report for the 2007-08 school year.) The results are disheartening but not surprising since staffing in school libraries has steadily declined for the last three decades. In 1980 there were 818 FTE licensed librarians in Oregon public schools, but by 2009 that figure shrank to 319 FTE librarians. During that same time period, the number of students served by one librarian increased from 547 to 1,761. The full report is available online.

Would the group be interested in this research proposal from Janet Webster? ?OLA's Resource Sharing Committee has submitted a proposal for expanded borrowing by individuals from libraries other than their 'home' library. They propose a three year pilot? It would be a great research project to assess who uses it and why. I'm curious about why someone who uses Newport Public Library would want a card from me ? are they science geeks or what? That's one example.

From: The Future of Education To: "mosaic2020 at yahoo.com" Sent: Thursday, May 3, 2012 7:16 AM Subject: Live Thursday, May 3rd - School Libraries: What?s Now, What?s Next, What?s Yet to Come Join me Thursday, May 3rd, for live and interactive Future of Education conversation with Buffy Hamilton and Kristin Fontichiaro, editors of School Libraries: What?s Now, What?s Next, What?s Yet to Come. Their crowdsourced eBook, which is available for free download, is a collection of over 100 essays from around the world about trends in school libraries written by librarians, teachers, publishers, and library vendors. In the book's foreward, Dr. R. David Lankes laments that the "future of school libraries and school librarians hangs in the balance," and that even with all of the research supporting the important effects of the school librarian, "communities are presented with a false choice: reduce the number of teachers in the classroom or lay off the librarian." This, he says, is a "false choice because school librarians are teachers ? their classrooms beyond the four walls of the library and extending into every classroom; indeed into every student?s home with resources and assistance." Hamilton and Fontichiaro recognize the additional and huge historical context of a world moving from print to digital, and by bringing diverse library voices together, wanted to ask questions that would "help us gain strength and inspiration from one another, even as our roles and duties expand and our job security and salaries decrease." What is the future of school libraries? More particularly, what is the future of school librarians? ...For those of us still working in schools, what are we working toward? ...Those are some of the question we posed to the extended school librarian community. What is the future going to be like? What do you see? What can you hold up from your own practice as a lantern to illuminate the way for others? These questions are too big to be answered by any single librarian, district, organization, or task force. They take collective thinking. And so we made an unusual overture: all voices would be heard, regardless of experience, reputation, or perpsective. See you online!

Trainers from the National Library of Medicine will be in Portland to teach the Toxnet and Beyond class at OHSU on Friday, June 22.

This course is designed to convey the basics of searching the NLM's TOXNET?, a Web-based system of databases in the areas of toxicology, environmental health, and related fields. The course will also teach students how to utilize NLM's environmental health and toxicology portal which provides resources beyond the TOXNET? databases. Students will learn the content and structure of files covering toxicology data, toxicology literature, toxic releases, and chemical nomenclature. Among the databases highlighted will be TOXLINE, the Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB), the Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS), the Toxic Release Inventory (TRI), and ChemIDplus. The course, taught by NLM instructors, will be conducted in a computer lab and includes lectures, online demonstrations, and hands-on exercises. There are still spaces available.

This is an additional access point; LEL is still available via links you set up on your institution's website and via OSLIS. To access LEL via CIS, users log in to CIS, click on My Career Planning Portfolio at the top right of the page and create a portfolio, and then click on My Learning Express (last option on page). After clicking on Continue, patrons or students 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. LearningExpress Library users should understand that LEL accounts in CIS and those created via your library's links or OSLIS are separate, and resources saved in one are not accessible via the other. In other words, if a user creates a LearningExpress Library account via your library's link to LEL or via the OSLIS link, the results of any LearningExpress tests saved in that account cannot be accessed via the CIS account. If you are helping patrons access LearningExpress Library and your library subscribes to CIS, you might want to discuss the best way to access LearningExpress Library so as to avoid double accounts. If you have questions about how to access LearningExpress Library via Oregon Career Information Systems, please contact Romella Lee at rlee at orcis.uoregon.edu or 800.495.1266 x4.

The opt-in service will allow the ALA to communicate advocacy messages in a quick and effective fashion using an innovative texting and calling feature. Advocacy subscribers will have the option to call legislators to discuss particular issues toll-free through Mobile Commons. The text messages will provide subscribers with talking points on issues before automatically transferring the advocates to the offices of their legislators. Advocates who wish to sign up for the service can text the word "library" to *877877* or sign up online at districtdispatch.org/textalerts . Mobile Commons was created to deliver more timely communication with advocates and to generate a higher volume of calls into Congress. The Office of Government Relations was alerted to the service after the micro-blogging site Tumblr used it to generate 88,000 calls into the House of Representatives in 14 hours as part of their opposition to the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA). "This timely program will make it much easier for library advocates to stay informed and get involved in the issues facing our nation's libraries," said Ted Wegner, ALA grassroots coordinator. Service subscribers can expect to receive 2-3 texts per month on average. http://www.districtdispatch.org/2012/05/ala-launches-text-message-advocacy-service/ -- *Diedre Conkling** Lincoln County Library District P.O.

This is a three year commitment -- serving one year as vice-chair, learning the ropes, one year as chair, and one year as past-chair. This is an excellent opportunity for professional and personal development. Although it is a lot of work, it is also very rewarding, and you make a lot of great friends and contacts along the way. The thing to remember if the prospect seems daunting is that you're never alone in any aspect of the "job" -- the rest of the board and the past chairs are always there with you. Susan Bacina Past-Chair, OLA/SSD >From Sean Park, current SSD Chair : SSD is a wonderfully diverse group of library professionals, ranging from supervisors and shelvers to IT and children's librarians, and countless other areas of expertise across the spectrum of libraries in Oregon, from large to small. I entered my term as SSD Board Chair with a sense of wonder and excitement (and a bit of bewilderment), as I previously did not have much exposure to SSD and almost no exposure to OLA. The SSD past-chairs were my lifeline (one serves on the Board and is an invaluable asset to the Chair), and helped me feel welcome while answering all questions I had along the way. My first event was the OLA Executive Board retreat in Silver Falls, which was a great experience that was made even better as the past-chair was at my side, keeping me apprised of procedure while providing valuable background on the topics at hand. Working with the OLA Board has opened my eyes to the great things OLA does, and the group is composed of a wide range of librarians, every one of them friendly, helpful, and very devoted to the OLA mission. It has been a great pleasure getting to know them and working alongside them, and you will feel very welcome very quickly with this group. This past year has seen some exciting changes for SSD. Scholarship awards for OLA membership and attendance at the annual SSD conference have been increased, and SSD membership is also going up. Videoconferencing has opened up involvement in SSD for people who otherwise couldn't participate due to distance. SSD is looking to expand training offerings across the state with book mending and technology workshops, while looking ahead at different training approaches (including increased exposure to the LSSC program) to help support staff increase services amidst shrinking budgets. Time commitment: Chair the monthly SSD board meetings, which can be attended in person or remotely via phone or videoconferencing (4 hours per month, depending upon travel) Compose the monthly SSD board meeting agenda (1 hour per month) Attend the monthly OLA Executive Board meetings (in person or remotely, 5 hours per month) Attend the annual OLA Board retreat in Silver Falls in person (2 days per year) Attend the annual SSD conference (1 day per year) Liaise with OLA to assist members representing SSD at the OLA Conference (1 hour per month) My term as SSD Board Chair has been extremely rewarding. The exposure to library staff from all corners of the state, and the friendships I've made, have been personally and professionally enriching. I would not hesitate to do it again, and strongly encourage those who are seeking more involvement in OLA & SSD to consider running for SSD Board Chair.

Here's a good example from NYPL if you haven't dipped your toe into this yet: http://pinterest.com/nypl/?d My questions concern the effectiveness of the tool. For those of you who are using it, can you help me with the following questions: 1) How are you promoting this to your patrons? 2) Are you getting feedback and followers? 3) Do you believe this investment of staff time to be worth the results and if so, how do you know this? 4) What kind of boards do you think return the most for the investment of time and/or make the most sense for libraries? Or do you think that we should be creating boards in areas that maybe aren't so apparent of a connection? Or maybe all of the above? 5) Anything else you want to tell me about-let's keep it related to social media or promoting libraries for now. Venting about your boss can be in the next thread. I'll be happy to collate responses for readers. Thanks so very much for your time.

[ALA Store] Social Media Basics: Engaging Your Library Users An eCourse with Paul Signorelli Facilitated 4-Week Session May 21 through June 15, 2012 [From ALA Editions] Are you new to social media? Have you been intimidated by the idea of getting started with sites like Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+ or Twitter? If your library doesn't have a presence on these social media sites, you are missing an important chance to make vital connections with library users as well as with other libraries. In this eCourse, designed for new and inexperienced social media users, Paul Signorelli will take you through the basics of social media, showing you how you can use Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+ and Twitter to connect with a library audience for reference, library instruction, outreach and marketing. With his guidance, you'll set up social media accounts that your library will actually be able to build upon and use once the eCourse is over. Paul Signorelli has more than 20 years of experience as a learning leader for libraries and other organizations and businesses.

The opt-in service will allow the ALA to communicate advocacy messages in a quick and effective fashion using an innovative texting and calling feature. Advocacy subscribers will have the option to call legislators to discuss particular issues toll-free through Mobile Commons. The text messages will provide subscribers with talking points on issues before automatically transferring the advocates to the offices of their legislators. Advocates who wish to sign up for the service can text the word "library" to *877877* or sign up online at districtdispatch.org/textalerts . Mobile Commons was created to deliver more timely communication with advocates and to generate a higher volume of calls into Congress. The Office of Government Relations was alerted to the service after the micro-blogging site Tumblr used it to generate 88,000 calls into the House of Representatives in 14 hours as part of their opposition to the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA). "This timely program will make it much easier for library advocates to stay informed and get involved in the issues facing our nation's libraries," said Ted Wegner, ALA grassroots coordinator. Service subscribers can expect to receive 2-3 texts per month on average. http://www.districtdispatch.org/2012/05/ala-launches-text-message-advocacy-service/ -- *Diedre Conkling** Lincoln County Library District P.O.

One of the people who asked to be unsubscribed over the weekend tried it and was very happy to find it really was easy. Here is my message again: *Diedre Conkling * Sun, May 6, 2012 at 2:44 PM To: libs-or A couple of people have asked today to be unsubscribed from this discussion list. You don't have to wait and hope that someone will unsubscribe you soon. You can do it yourself just as you can change your other settings on libs-or yourself. At the bottom of each message you receive from libs-or you will find this url, http://listsmart.osl.state.or.us/mailman/listinfo/libs-or.or you can do a browser search for libs-or and find the same url. When you click on this url just go down to the bottom of the page and fill in the last box with your email address. This will take you to a page for managing your subscription. the second section on that page lets you unsubscribe. It really works very well.

This is a three year commitment -- serving one year as vice-chair, learning the ropes, one year as chair, and one year as past-chair. This is an excellent opportunity for professional and personal development. Although it is a lot of work, it is also very rewarding, and you make a lot of great friends and contacts along the way. The thing to remember if the prospect seems daunting is that you're never alone in any aspect of the "job" -- the rest of the board and the past chairs are always there with you. Susan Bacina Past-Chair, OLA/SSD >From Sean Park, current SSD Chair : SSD is a wonderfully diverse group of library professionals, ranging from supervisors and shelvers to IT and children's librarians, and countless other areas of expertise across the spectrum of libraries in Oregon, from large to small. I entered my term as SSD Board Chair with a sense of wonder and excitement (and a bit of bewilderment), as I previously did not have much exposure to SSD and almost no exposure to OLA. The SSD past-chairs were my lifeline (one serves on the Board and is an invaluable asset to the Chair), and helped me feel welcome while answering all questions I had along the way. My first event was the OLA Executive Board retreat in Silver Falls, which was a great experience that was made even better as the past-chair was at my side, keeping me apprised of procedure while providing valuable background on the topics at hand. Working with the OLA Board has opened my eyes to the great things OLA does, and the group is composed of a wide range of librarians, every one of them friendly, helpful, and very devoted to the OLA mission. It has been a great pleasure getting to know them and working alongside them, and you will feel very welcome very quickly with this group. This past year has seen some exciting changes for SSD. Scholarship awards for OLA membership and attendance at the annual SSD conference have been increased, and SSD membership is also going up. Videoconferencing has opened up involvement in SSD for people who otherwise couldn't participate due to distance. SSD is looking to expand training offerings across the state with book mending and technology workshops, while looking ahead at different training approaches (including increased exposure to the LSSC program) to help support staff increase services amidst shrinking budgets. Time commitment: Chair the monthly SSD board meetings, which can be attended in person or remotely via phone or videoconferencing (4 hours per month, depending upon travel) Compose the monthly SSD board meeting agenda (1 hour per month) Attend the monthly OLA Executive Board meetings (in person or remotely, 5 hours per month) Attend the annual OLA Board retreat in Silver Falls in person (2 days per year) Attend the annual SSD conference (1 day per year) Liaise with OLA to assist members representing SSD at the OLA Conference (1 hour per month) My term as SSD Board Chair has been extremely rewarding. The exposure to library staff from all corners of the state, and the friendships I've made, have been personally and professionally enriching. I would not hesitate to do it again, and strongly encourage those who are seeking more involvement in OLA & SSD to consider running for SSD Board Chair.

The Library Catalogue As a Social Space: Promoting Patron Driven Collections, Online Communities, and Enhanced Reference and Readers' Services. Santa Barbara, CA: Libraries Unlimited, 2012. 025.3132 Tarul ISBN 978-1-59884-629-4 This book is a guide to the library catalogue that all public library professionals will find enlightening and useful. Its technical services perspective provides a different point of view as compared to traditional public library literature, which is often written by frontline professionals. For example, it poses and examines this thought-provoking question: should library catalogues be considered the primary gateway to the library's information, rather than the library website? Author and collection access librarian Laurel Tarulli examines next-generation or "social" catalogues, discussing the theories and concepts behind them, their impact on core library services, and their potential in shaping future libraries and library services. Geared toward frontline and backroom staff, this book helps readers understand next-generation catalogues and see the collaborative opportunities that are possible between the frontline and backroom. Written to be much more than a "one-time" read, this resource book provides practical ideas for beneficial collaboration and implementation of social features in library catalogues.

Santa Barbara, CA: Libraries Unlimited, 2010. 025.00285 More ISBN 978-1-59158-939-6 >From cloud computing to data curation to open-source software, the world of technology offers great opportunity-and potential frustration. Nancy Courtney and her team of IT experts have set out to enhance the former and alleviate the latter. More Technology for the Rest of Us: A Second Primer on Computing for the Non-IT Librarian follows up on Courtney's 2005 technology volume by tackling the most recent advances in IT. Each chapter describes a technology important to the library field, explains how it works in terms a non-IT professional can understand, and describes its uses. The essays in More Technology for the Rest of Us are not meant to make readers experts, but to provide a basic introduction to some of the current technologies impacting libraries and their patrons. Articles are brief and clearly written, and computer jargon is defined and explained. Each chapter lists references for further information, and there is a selected bibliography and glossary at the end of the book.

A short survey has been developed which asks for input on different delivery models. WESTPAS offers free(grant-funded) workshops on developing disaster response and salvage plans for collections in heritage institutions. The workshops are two days in length; the first day and the second day are separated by 4-6weeks to provide time to prepare a very basic draft plan between workshop days. Oregon has held these workshops several times at different locations throughout the state. While attendees have found them quite helpful,it is getting more difficult to travel and make the time commitments required in the original delivery model. WESTPAS is proposing to create an alternative workshop model. The first "day" of the workshop would be a short series of webinars, at the end of which participants would draft very basic disaster response plans. The second day would be an in-person event to review draft plans and to get experience handling wet materials to be salvaged, something quite hard to do in a webinar! Prior to undertaking development, WESTPAS needs feedback on this proposed workshop model. If you or someone from your institution is interested in creating a disaster response plan for your institution,please take two minutes to respond to the questions at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/westpas~ the survey will close on May 20, 2012. -- Kristen Kern Fine and Performing Arts Librarian WESTPAS trainer, OR, ID, NV Portland State Library 503-725-5218 kernk at pdx.edu -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Whether or not public libraries have formal programs to teach and support people seeking their GEDs, we certainly all see lots of GED students and circulate a lot of GED study manuals. Big changes are coming for the GED, and I just wanted to remind librarians to keep these in mind. The state GED administrator, Marque Haeg, reminds us of these three important facts: 1. The GED is transitioning to a computer-based test ONLY in 2014. The paper and pencil test will be phased out entirely. 2. In addition to being computer-based only, the test will be completely revised and is expected to be more challenging than the current test. 3. Examinees of the current test series must complete their test prior to the release of the new test in January of 2014 or they will lose their scores and must start completely over on the new test. It's really important for students to complete all their tests and attain their GED before the big change, or they will lose all that time and any passing marks on tests. So, if you see lots of GED students, keep these facts in mind, whether that means planning for new manuals for your collection, or considering the needs of GED students when you are planning computer classes and labs.

They set up a pretty slick website where you can see a video, read a bit about the issue, and (most importantly in any campaign) sign a petition. Their goal is to send publishers a simple message: if you want to reach the reader?s market, there is no better way to do so than to sell eBooks to libraries. Period. End of discussion. The importance of not simply signing this petition but sharing it is twofold: first, in asking publishers to consider selling to libraries, it helps to demonstrate a market. Not just ALA entourages meeting with publishers, not just librarians lobbying companies to be more open with their selling practices, but putting forth an actual end user who will use and enjoy their work. This petition really isn?t meant for librarians to pass around to each other and encourage signatures; goodness knows how much librarians dig this kind of inside baseball. No, the target signees here are your library members. These are the people that organizations like ALA have shown to buy things that they originally borrowed from the library. The people who are the subjects of studies that indicate that people who borrow books tend to buy more books. While the common example that is kicked around is the ?lost sale?, where is the talk about the ?double dip? from people who borrow the book from the library (which the library purchased) and then bought a copy for themselves? It?s the simple demonstration that engaging in these kinds of sales can help the publishing market and increases its revenues. Second, this is a good way to educate our public library members as well as provide them with a means to make a difference. To the first point, this is an issue in which the stakeholders (the taxpayers) are generally unaware of important nuances of this library issue. Every time I teach a class on how to download eBooks, I tell people that they may not see their favorite author or book because the publisher refuses to make it available for library lending. It never fails to get looks of astonishment and head shakes. People simply do not know the details and importance of their involvement; this petition puts it out there in easy-to-digest terms. As to the second point, it is imperative to provide people with a means of making a difference. Yes, an online petition might not have the same effect as thousands of people marching on these companies in protest, but this is one place where change starts. Personally, I think a goal of 10,000 signatures is far too modest. I managed to get 70,000 by the time I ended my HarperCollins petition at Change.org, and about 50,000 of them came over the course of a week. The people who are readers and public library supporters are out there and I guarantee there are more than 10,000 of them. It?s time to go for the gusto and blow the doors off this goal. I encourage everyone to send this petition far and wide. Share this petition now so that people in the future can enjoy a greater share of the library eBook experience. Now, let?s do it.

Yesterday, the agreement between the three offices became official with the issuance of an "Information Memorandum," the Administration for Children and Families' instrument for formal communication with the agencies it funds. This Information Memorandum creates a natural partnership and encourages the collaborations efforts between federally funded early child care programs and public libraries throughout the country. The Information Memorandum signed by Ms. Sanchez Fuentes and Ms. Hildreth states Public libraries provide centers for learning in nearly every community in the United States, and it is important for children and families to learn about and recognize public libraries as a valuable resource.

Actually, this is not a summery; it is a collation, so you can see the comments in their entirety. Hey, I kind of organized the comments! Thanks to all of you who responded and sorry I didn't write back to each of you-please don't hold it against me. Pinterest is an interesting tool, but does come with some warnings: -If you want to post original work, I?d be careful. Pinterest?s terms of service are something to take seriously. Two people sent me the same blog post about how agreeing to their terms allows them to use, keep, sell etc, all of your original material. Maybe, maybe not, but something to think about. -On the other hand, I read articles from others which state that by posting an image you agree that it is yours or you have permission to repin it. Virtually everyone who is on Pinterest is therefore infringing their terms of use every time they repin something, which is entirely what it was set up for. This is why one responder recommends clicking through the images all the way to the original web site. You do need to be careful with this. Having said that, there is a lot to be gained from using Pinterest, even if only for planning and programming ideas, as Katie Anderson points out to us. And there are many ways a library can use it. So enjoy the articles, blog posts, and Pinterest sites included below. If social media interests you (and I personally think it should interest all of us), then this is a site to follow, and at least see what develops. My final thought is: why didn?t a librarian invent this tool (rather than an architect)? It's really just letting people do their own cataloging (organizing) of images and naming of categories. When you think about it, so simple and something we do all day long-shelving like things together. Darn-it could've been my ticket to the big time!! Thanks again all! Mo Libraries with Pinterest sites Susan Gilman, UO Portland We are using Pinterest here at the UO Portland Library and Learning Commons, and it seems to be quite popular with students and staff. Our library mainly serves graduate students studying architecture and design. Pinterest was actually created by an architect, so we figured it would be a great tool to try! Regarding your questions, these have been our experiences so far: 1.) We mainly use Facebook to promote it, every time we post something especially eye-catching to Pinterest we repost the image and link to our Facebook page. For various reasons we decided not to link the two accounts automatically. We also use good old fashioned word of mouth promotion. For example we showed it off during a presentation to incoming and returning students at the beginning of the term. 2.) We are getting a lot of followers, it is a mix of random people in the Pinterest universe and our own students. I have had quite a few students approach me to ask me more about it. Instructors have also been very interested in using this tool for collaboration in their classes. We currently have one instructor who is a co-contributor to one of the library?s boards, and we hope to add more next year. 3.) I believe it is a good investment of staff time, especially for our library. Our students are much more interested in images, beautiful ones at that. Pinterest is a great way to speak to this interest/need and remind them they have a library (a cool one that is using spiffy new social media tools). There has been a lot of concern about copyright issues, which can become a very complex topic. However I see Pinterest as an opportunity to have conversations about intellectual property rights, and provide them with good examples of how to cite images properly. It is also a great way to show a much broader user group, all those people in the Pinterest world, what libraries are doing. 4.) Our boards are roughly divided into three groups: news items in the library (books, DVDs, etc), architectural inspiration boards, and boards relating to classes and student work. The architectural inspiration boards are by far the most popular. People go to Pinterest to find visual inspiration, and providing students with stunning images that relate to their studies is a really effective way of getting their attention. This is coming from the context of an academic library with a small and very specific user group, so I am not sure how that would translate to other settings. Take a look at what we are doing, and if you are interested follow our page! If you have any suggestions or feedback, we would love to hear it. http://pinterest.com/uopdxlibrary/ Mari Cheney, Lewis & Clark We are not using it at the law library, but our main campus library is using it - see http://pinterest.com/watzeklibrary/ Charles Dunham, Corvallis The Corvallis-Benton County Public Library is just getting started with Pinterest (http://pinterest.com/cbcpl/). We haven?t publicized our pin boards yet, but plan to promote them via our Facebook account and blog soon. Like you, we?re attempting to come to grips with it, and we?d love to know what sort of responses you get. Kiira Taylor, Lake Oswego Here is our Lake Oz Pinterest page: http://pinterest.com/biblioecstasy/ 1. We promote it by placing a icon/link on our library's main page (http://www.ci.oswego.or.us/library/), right next to our Twitter and Facebook icons. We also have a couple of small posters in the library, and flyers patrons can take with them that feature a link to our Pinterest page. 2. We are getting followers: in the library world, in the great wide world beyond, and in the Portland metro area. We gained a lot of Lake Oz pinners by following THEM first. Once they knew we existed, they followed us. We have not received significant feedback, though the week I pinned information about my TEN IN TEN reader's advisory service, I had messages from three patrons who wanted to participate -- that's significantly more TEN IN TEN participants than we have in a typical week. (http://pinterest.com/pin/148829962655847347/) 3. The jury is out as to whether staff time is well spent 'pinning.' I can't see many ways to track this, other than pinning links to a specific service, like TEN IN TEN. 4. I think our best boards are ones that tell people what we offer in terms of materials and programs ... I particularly like our IN TODAY'S NEWS board, which features links for library materials related to current news stories. 5. Pinterest is a great tool for seeing other libraries' PR and priorities, finding out about new technology and other tools, and keeping track of who's doing what. Responses including articles: Cheryl Hill, West Linn: (this article was also sent by Clark Kent, Eugene) After I read the article below, I was extremely wary of starting a pinterest account for the library. We haven't had a discussion about it here one way or the other, but it's been interesting to see what other libraries have done. http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/symbiartic/2012/03/19/pinterests-terms-of-service-word-by-terrifying-word/ Colin Rea, Fern Ridge http://www.prdaily.com/Main/Articles/Pinterest_and_legal_issues_Read_this_before_you_pi_11048.aspx Christopher Rumbaugh, Salem http://www.mediabistro.com/appnewser/10-pinterest-boards-for-ebook-fans_b20511 Katie Anderson, State Library Hi! Another question you may want to ask is ?how can librarians and library workers use it to help their planning?? Many youth services librarians are using to collect and save programming ideas and much more, especially for planning summer reading. I?ve been talking about this with a variety of people/groups so I?ve cut and paste parts of my email exchanges with those folks that I thought may be useful to you. You should also be aware that there are some complex copyright issues involved with Pinterest, this recent article does a good job of breaking those issues down: http://mashable.com/2012/03/21/pinterest-copyright-legal-issues/. The CSLP email list is all a buzz this morning because folks are using Pinterest to share summer reading craft, program, and prize ideas. Here are some examples, no password or anything needed to actually look at or click on anythng. Here's a great blog post about how libraries can use Pinterest and encourage folks to "pin" things from their library blogs, websites, etc. http://www.sotomorrowblog.com/2012/01/pinterest-for-librarians.html Iowa's collaborative page is a great example because the YS Consultant is inviting other librarians "pin" to this board too so it really is a bunch of people sharing ideas: http://pinterest.com/pippi/2012-dream-big-read-collaborative-boards/ Here are two folks using it to share summer reading books (not just kids and teen): ? http://pinterest.com/pobox607/summer-reading/ ? http://pinterest.com/bluegirl79/summer-reading-list/ Using Pinterest with Librarians & Library Workers >From my colleague, Dawn Krause: I know so many are starting boards on there, but the state reps in the CSLP are talking about it a bit and it would be great if we had more youth folks doing it! You have to be a member of Pinterest, but it?s free to join if you?re not already on there. Here are some samples: Texas Teens Read 2012 - http://pinterest.com/dawnkrause/texas-teens-read-2012/ Teens in the library - http://pinterest.com/dawnkrause/teens-in-the-library/ I did a blog post here: https://www.tsl.state.tx.us/ld/librarydevelopments/?p=10751 YALSA has some Pinterest pages as well: Teen Tech Week: http://pinterest.com/sarah_ludwig/teen-tech-week-2012/ YA Librarianship: http://pinterest.com/yalsa/what-does-a-ya-librarian-do/ Other comments: Jules Filipski, SOU: I work with our digital collections. We have created many image-based collections with CONTENTdm software. There are several social features built in to the collections website, inlcuding a Share feature. I want to add a PinIt button (Pinterest) to the list of share options but unfortunately Pinterest does not work with the AddThis service provider that is built in to CONTENTdm. I think Pinterest has a great potential to help publicize library digital collections. Jennifer Foster Me too - late to the party, I think. We haven't started using it, but I am about to propose it. Couple of thoughts: 1. There have been articles about copyright issues, and that has kept me away for a while. But my sister DOVE in, and now I'm playing around too. My approach so far - little as I have done - is to find the original source of the item I am pinning and to give it credit in a consistent fashion. Not citation perfect, but with a link to the original site I found. Repinning, IMHO, should be done with care. 2. I want to say one of the Kristen/Kristins from our cohort has a board of library stuff, which I find delightful. And that is something I think you should strive for. I haven't yet looked at he NYPL boards, but delightful seems worth striving for...you know, one of the quotes I saw was "Libraries will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no libraries." True or not, it makes you think. 2. I want to use it to promote resources, though I haven't figured out what or how yet. It is already linked to Facebook and we have a Facebook account, so that should be easy. 3. Also, we have a blog with a little of this and little of that - occasional book reviews, database down announcements - with some creativity we ought to be able to connect that in too. 4. We could do subject-based boards in areas of study for our institutions. Beautiful examples of anthropology, or poetry, or anything. We could do a board of creative ways to get textbooks. We could do boards of sample APA, MLA etc. citations. We can do boards of events on campus and in town. These are just my starting thoughts. By linking to a lot of other social media, in the library and elsewhere, we get one more impression with students and faculty, and marketing is all about numbers of impressions....Hope this helps...jen From robby.pietz at state.or.us Mon May 14 08:37:17 2012 From: robby.pietz at state.or.us (Robby Pietz) Date: Mon, 14 May 2012 15:37:17 +0000 Subject: [Libs-Or] Offering from the State Library Message-ID: <00D5B5969FC6C94FB5D02223EB294C271C48DD2E@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local> The Oregon State Library is offering 17 copies of this special children's book.

Please see the attached press release from the Oregon Encyclopedia (The OE), an on-line resource of Oregon history and culture. In partnership with McMenamins, The OE continues its History Night series with a look back at the people and events that have shaped our communities. Special guests and historical images are a part of every event. ?The Many Lives of South Portland: From Immigrants to Hippies and Highrisers? Presented by Carl Abbott Monday, June 4, 2012 7:00 p.m. Doors open at 6:00 p.m. McMenamins Mission theater, 1624 NW Glisan, Portland, Ore. Free and open to the public. When you walk the streets of South Portland today, what do you see? Perhaps highrise buildings, public fountains, and businesses catering to students at Portland State University? Few people realize that in previous generations the neighborhood has been a workingman?s haven, a community for Italian and Jewish immigrants, a hangout for hippies, and a center for highrise living. Today the region of South Portland is defined by the Keller Fountain and the Portland State University campus on the north and by the Ross Island Bridge and the Aerial Tram on the south part of town. In this Oregon Encyclopedia History Night presentation, Carl Abbott will trace the different communities that Portlanders have created south of downtown and examine the economic and political forces that have shaped its growth. Come discover why South Portland is one of Portland?s oldest and newest neighborhoods today. See the attached press releases for more details.

Multnomah County - Measure 26-125 The measure would renew the local option levy for the library at the current tax rate of $0.89 per $1,000 assessed value. This levy would not raise property taxes. It would continue the same rate of the previous library levy approved by voters. Yes 90,276 (83.18%) No 18,250 (16.82%) Tillamook County - Measure 29-126 This measure renews the current expiring levy. The levy amount will remain at $0.65 per $1,000 of assessed value and will be used to continue the operations of the County Library System. It is estimated the proposed rate will raise $2,500,000 in 2012/13; $2,600,000 in 2013/14; $2,700,000 in 2014/15; $2,800,000 in 2015/16; and $2,925,000 in 2016/17. The estimated tax cost for this measure is an ESTIMATE ONLY based on the best information available from the county assessor at the time of estimate. The County Library System includes the main library in Tillamook, five (5) branch libraries located in Bay City, Garibaldi, Rockaway Beach, Manzanita, and Pacific City and the Bookmobile which serves rural Tillamook County. This tax rate will provide over ninety-five (95%) percent of the total revenue supporting the County Library System. All county libraries will have to close if an operating levy fails. Yes 4,068 (53.07%) No 3,598 (46.93%) City of Gladstone - Measure 3-394 This measure would amend the Gladstone City Charter to prohibit the City of Gladstone from incurring any debt, irrespective of amount, in financing any public project. The prohibition would not apply to the issuance of municipal bonds to finance a public project if a bond measure is approved by a majority of voters. If approved, the measure would be effective immediately and would apply to all existing projects in any phase of planning, design, development or construction, including the Gladstone library. Yes 1,635 (55.3%) No 1,320 (44.7%) City of Union - Measure 31-83 Local Option Tax Levy for Library This measure authorizes the City of Union to levy a property tax in the estimated total amount of $34,355.00 each year for five years beginning with fiscal year 2012-13. The estimated tax impact of this measure is an average of $.45 per $1,000.00 of real market value. For example, if the measure passes, the owner of a $100,000.00 home would pay approximately $45.00 per year for five years. Yes 407 (65.12%) No 218 (34.88%) City of Stayton - Measure 24-329 This 4-year local option tax to continue partial funding for the City's pool, library, and parks programs and improvements. The City of Stayton is seeking a 4-year local option tax of $.60 per thousand each year for continued operating support of the City's library and pool programs, beginning in Fiscal Year 2013-2014. The tax would replace the existing local option tax that expires at the end of next fiscal year (June 2013) and would continue the operating support for the pool and library. Some of the proposed tax would be used for improvements that could not otherwise be afforded within the City's regular budget. Over the 4-year life of the proposed levy, approximately 45% would go toward maintaining the current level of operating support for the Stayton Public Library, as well as the library's budget for books and audio-visual materials. Approximately 37.5% would go toward maintaining the current level of operating support for the Stayton Family Memorial Pool. The remainder of levy funds, aside from an allowance for uncollectible taxes, would go toward improvements at the Pool, Library and Parks.

The City of Stayton is seeking a 4-year local option tax of $.60 per thousand each year for continued operating support of the City's library and pool programs, beginning in Fiscal Year 2013-2014. The tax would replace the existing local option tax that expires at the end of next fiscal year (June 2013) and would continue the operating support for the pool and library. Some of the proposed tax would be used for improvements that could not otherwise be afforded within the City's regular budget. Over the 4-year life of the proposed levy, approximately 45% would go toward maintaining the current level of operating support for the Stayton Public Library, as well as the library's budget for books and audio-visual materials. Approximately 37.5% would go toward maintaining the current level of operating support for the Stayton Family Memorial Pool. The remainder of levy funds, aside from an allowance for uncollectible taxes, would go toward improvements at the Pool, Library and Parks.

We had a good time and thought it was very valuable. We decided it was worth getting together again and selected May 18 as our next meeting. This is a reminder to those people who attended the first meeting and an invitation to the rest of you who couldn't make it but really wanted to come. Here's the skinny: What: a gathering of public library directors or management types to share on issues common to all of us; at this meeting we'd also like to discuss how OLA Annual Conference went Where: Coava Coffee, 1300 SE Grand Avenue, Portland When: 8:00 a.m.'ish to 9:30'ish, Friday, May 18, 2012 Why: We think we can learn a lot from each other How: Push, peddle, paddle, pole-kidding; that's some race they have in Eugene. Get there any way you can; just get there. http://coavacoffee.com/locations/ BTW, May 18th is the 32nd anniversary of the eruption of Mt. St. Helens! (Thank you, Dan White, for that tidbit) Cheers, Mo Our original message from March: -Are you the head honcho or in management at a small to middle sized metro area public library? -Would you like to connect with your colleagues more often on issues that are common to all of us, from security to programs to e-books? -Would you like to talk about how we can help each other more by collaborating in new and old ways? -Can you spare an hour every so often to share and bond over coffee? Then join Mo Cole and Abigail Elder at Coava Coffee Roasters at 1300 SE Grand Avenue on March 30 at 8:00 for some fun, interesting, and hopefully stimulating conversation. Questions?

Please consider signing to allow broader access for public library patrons! May 17, 2012 TO: Directors of ARL Libraries FROM: Prue Adler RE: White House Petition on Access to Federally Funded Research Results As you know, the Obama Administration has been actively considering the issue of public access to the results of federally funded research. Some of you participated in the RFI on this topic and I thank you for your participation as that has helped keep the White House interested in this issue. We now have a brief, critical window of opportunity to demonstrate our strong commitment to expanding the NIH Public Access Policy to all U.S. federal science agencies. The Obama Administration is currently considering which policy priorities they will act on before the 2012 Presidential election season swings into high gear. We need to ensure that public access to the results of federally funded research is one of those priorities. Today, a petition calling for Public Access to Federally Funded Research Results was posted on the White House's "We the People" site (Require free access over the Internet to scientific journal articles arising from taxpayer-funded research). If the petition garners 25,000 signatures within 30 days, it will be reviewed by White House staff, and considered for action. This is a request that you 1) sign the petition so we can reach 25,000 signatories and 2) share this request with your staff and colleagues. The petition is available at: *wh.gov/6TH* . Qualified signatories must be at least 13 years old, have a valid email address, and may be from inside or outside of the US. This type of action can have real impact if we reach the 25,000 signature goal - the White House takes this petition site very seriously, and is particularly cognizant of public opinion as the Presidential election draws closer. I know in the recent past, some individuals experienced difficulties in participating in the "We the People" website. We have been assured that this application has been improved. My thanks in advance for your support of this effort - taking action now can make a difference! Prudence S.

Vendors - I see that major vendors such as Baker & Taylor and Ingram do have Spanish materials, but often they are not discounted. Also, I don't know how great their selection is - how it compares to what is available out there and what Spanish readers are reading. Is anyone aware of good vendors for Spanish materials? Who do you use? Selecting - Although I speak a little Spanish, I am not fluent, which makes selecting Spanish materials a little more difficult than selecting English titles (which can be difficult in its own right :-) ). How do you go about selecting Spanish materials? Do you have Spanish speakers on staff that choose books? Do you rely on standing order type plans, or vendors to do selecting for you? If you have any input or advice for me, I'd love to hear it.

Hayward (1899-1979) is best remembered as a scientific illustrator of great influence, who collaborated for many years with both Linus Pauling and Scientific American magazine. Roger Hayward: Renaissance Man recounts Hayward's story through a detailed narrative and more than 450 illustrations. Included among them are two galleries of original pastel drawings created by Hayward for use in 1964's The Architecture of Molecules, co-authored with Linus Pauling. Most of the pastels presented on the website were not used in the book and are now freely available for the first time. Roger Hayward: Renaissance Man is the seventh website created by the Special Collections & Archives Research Center using the Omeka web publishing platform. The exhibit relies heavily upon materials held in the Roger Hayward Papers, one of the Center's many history of science collections. The site is available at http://osulibrary.oregonstate.edu/specialcollections/omeka/exhibits/show/hayward. Larry Landis Lawrence A.

Buzzy?s transcript is online at http://www.oregonlibraries.net/notable In this transcript, the patron came in looking for studies that compared altruism in adults and in children, to support an experiment that they were doing with a colleague in a fifth grade classroom. Buzzy conducted an excellent reference interview with the patron throughout the transcript, to ensure that the resources he found fit the patron?s needs. He started off by directing the patron to the PsycInfo database, available through Multnomah County. He put some title and abstract information into the chat to give the patron some information to assess for usefulness, while he compiled a list of articles that he emailed to the patron. When the patron mentioned that they also had access to PSU?s article databases, Buzzy indicated that PSU might have full-text access to some of the articles for which Multnomah County only had citation and abstracts. Given the PSU connection, Buzzy also suggested some additional databases that the patron might search. He excelled at providing options for follow-up: he provided the name and contact information for PSU library?s psychology subject expert; he offered to personally follow up with the patron if he had any ?Eureka!? ideas; and he put the chat into follow-up status, as a way to connect the patron to someone with subject expertise. Not only did Buzzy conduct an excellent reference interview and offered options for follow-up, he also was very friendly and human with the patron throughout the interaction. The Quality Team was very impressed with the ?above and beyond? level of service that Buzzy provided to this patron from start to finish. As an expression of our appreciation, Buzzy was presented with flowers and a certificate at the Oregon Virtual Reference Summit. Please join us in congratulating him!

Alice?s transcript is online at http://www.oregonlibraries.net/notable In this transcript, the patron came in looking for information on his great-grandfather and the great-grandfather's service during World WarII as part of a school assignment. Alice asked several clarifying questions to determine if the patron was looking for more general information about World War II, or information more specific to the great-grandfather?s experience. Using an ancestry database, Alice found images of his WWI and WWII registration cards, which she emailed to the patron. She provided the patron with information found in the database, to confirm that she had found the correct person, then attempted to find an Oregonian obituary to further confirm the accuracy of the information she had found. When the patron asked if Alice could find out what battles the ancestor had fought in, she suggested that the patron could request military service records, either by writing to the WWII National Personnel Records Center (for which she provided the address) or requesting them online from the National Archives. The patron asked for more information about his ancestor, so Alice searched the 1930 Census, where she found out some more information. The patron was able to use this to confirm that all of the information that she had found was about the right person. At the end of the chat, Alice emailed the transcript to the patron, so he would have all the information, and closed the conversation in a friendly and professional manner. The Quality Team was impressed with the caliber and amount of resources that Alice used to help the patron and to verify that the information located was correct. Throughout the interaction, she also provided context for the resources offered, to help the patron understand what he might find useful on the various sites. She conducted an excellent reference interview, was very responsive to the patron?s requests for more information, and had a professional and approachable demeanor throughout the chat. As an expression of our appreciation, Alice was presented with flowers and a certificate at the Oregon Virtual Reference Summit. Please join us in congratulating her!

A petition (wh.gov/6TH) calling for Public Access to all Federally Funded Research has been posted to the White House "We the People" website. If the petition garners 25,000 signatures within 30 days, it will be reviewed by White House staff, and considered for action. We're halfway there - more than 12,500 people have signed the petition since it was posted just two and half days ago! Researchers, patients groups, universities, libraries, students, businesses and families have all thrown their support behind this simple yet powerful idea - to make taxpayer-funded research freely accessible to the public. Learn more about why by watching this one-minute video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FoYxzPZDuw). Sign the petition (wh.gov/6TH) today, and encourage your colleagues, friends and family to do the same. You are eligible to sign if you are at least 13 years old, and have a valid email address. That's all. Signing is easy, it's fast, and it can have an enormous impact on our chances of expanding access to the results of scientific research that we have helped to fund. So take some time today to not only sign onto the petition, but to spread the word far and wide. Consider a blog post, an email to constituencies, a tweet (use #openaccess), a Facebook share, an action in your library or on your campus - anything that tells as many people as possible "I support this petition, I'm signing this petition, and you should, too."

For our Library, there are two criteria that the identification must address- the first is a picture ID that proves they are who they say they are, and the second is some sort of proof that they live at the address that they give us (utility bill, first class mail addressed to them in the last 30 days, etc.) If they have an ODL or Oregon ID with their current address, we are happy - but often, that is not the case. What do you require? Do you take the temporary paper driver's license? For photo ID, do you take a Costco card? An expired ODL? ......etc? I'd appreciate your input.
