From Calcagno at wccls.org Thu Nov 1 13:55:41 2012 From: Calcagno at wccls.org (Eva Calcagno) Date: Thu, 1 Nov 2012 20:55:41 +0000 Subject: [Libs-Or] Oregon Library Passport Program to Launch January 1st! Message-ID: Good afternoon public library directors and public & private academic library directors, Letters will be mailed to you today inviting your libraries to participate in the launch of a statewide patron-initiated reciprocal borrowing program. At the direction of the Oregon Library Association Board, the Resource Sharing Committee was tasked with devising a shared borrowing program that would extend borrowing privileges between libraries, that could be implemented easily and inexpensively, and would build on Oregon's tradition of cooperative programs. It is meant to be a patron-focused exchange -- a library opens its doors to patrons of other participating libraries and vice versa. We believe the OLPP addresses the long-standing goal of sharing resources between libraries that has been reflected in past OLA strategic plans including Vision 2000, Vision 2010 and Vision 2020. Since last spring, the Resource Sharing Committee has been talking to various library groups to gather feedback and finalize the program. We made changes in the program to accommodate the ideas and concerns raised. For example, draft descriptions of the program said it was for "tax supported" libraries, which was a confusing term for some people. We have changed that to "legally established" public libraries to provide a clearer description of which libraries are eligible. An important element is that libraries can set their own local limits on use to fit their comfort zone (i.e. number of checkouts allowed, holds placed, etc.). The mailing you will receive from OLA includes an introductory letter, a summary of the Passport Program and a Statement of Shared Understanding. (I'm also attaching a pdf here FYI). Once you are ready to participate, please fill out the Statement and return it to the address listed. Information about the program is posted at www.librariesoforegon.org/passport including forms and logos you may download for local publicity. Once libraries begin signing up this site will also include a full list of libraries so you and your patrons know which libraries are participating. For patrons, their local library card becomes their passport to other libraries across Oregon! The kick-off date is January 1st (well, technically the 2nd). We hope to have a solid core of participants ready to go by that date. If you have questions please direct them to one of the members of the Resource Sharing Committee noted in the document. We look forward to welcoming your patrons at our libraries soon!

Included in the awards is a grant to Pacific University Library for planning Washington County oral histories and a grant for Project Ready to Learn from the Ready to Learn Coalition. The Board also approved the overall LSTA budget for next year including funding for statewide projects such as Statewide Database Licensing, the Oregon School Library Information System (OSLIS), and the Plinkit content management system. The Board also approved the LSTA Grant Guidelines for FFY 2014 and received a report from the OLA Scholarship Committee. In other business, the Board heard reports from the State Library teams with suggestions for strategic planning, to take place at the Board retreat in December. Return to top of page State Library News State Library Welcomes New Manager Marjorie Harrison [MHarrison]On November 5th, the State Library will welcome Marjorie Harrison as its new Government Research Services Manager. Harrison's most recent position was director of the San Juan Island Library in Friday Harbor, Washington. She has also worked at libraries in Michigan, Colorado, and Nebraska, and holds a Master's in Library Science from Wayne State University, Michigan. As the manager for Government Research Services, she will oversee the team which provides quality information services to assist state employees in the efficient performance of their jobs and in more effective decision making for state government. The Government Research Services (GRS) team is also responsible for the Oregon Documents Depository Program, Special Collections of federal and state government publications and Oregon materials, and maintaining a partnership with the Willamette Valley Genealogical Society. The Oregon State Library is very excited to have Marjorie Harrison joining its staff. Letters About Literature Contest Has Begun Letters About Literature is a national reading and writing contest sponsored by the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress. Students write letters to an author explaining how that author's book changed their way of thinking about the world or themselves. There are three competition levels: Level I for 4th-6th graders, Level II for 7th-8th graders, and Level III for 9th-10th graders. Oregon's three winners (one from each competition level) will go on to compete nationally. Entry forms and guidelines are now available online. All entries must be postmarked January 11, 2013. Librarians and teachers can download and print bookmarks and stickers to distribute to students and patrons. Lesson plans and an outline connecting Letters About Literature to national language arts and reading standards are available online. In 2012 over 800 students in Oregon entered the contest, and 1 in 11 of them received cash prizes or gift certificates to Barnes and Noble bookstore. These prizes are made possible through support from the Oregon Reading Association, Oregon Association of School Libraries, and the Oregon Library Association's Children Services Division and Young Adult network. Please visit the website for more information or contact Jen Maurer, coordinator of the Letters About Literature activities in Oregon. Oregon Genealogy Resources Added to Ancestry Collection [Index]Several Oregon biographical and genealogical resources from the State Library collection are now available through the Ancestry database. The largest collection to be added is the Oregon Biographical Index, a collection of over 277,000 cards that contain citations to biographical entries on Oregon citizens. The cards point to resources in newspapers, books, pamphlets and journals and cover over eight decades of Oregon's history, from the late 1890's through the mid 1980's. To search in Ancestry, select "Search" in the top menu bar. Then, scroll down to "Card Index". When the search screen opens, search on the title Oregon Biographical Index. You will then be able to browse the scanned images, alphabetically, by the last name of the person. Other resources from the Willamette Valley Genealogical Society have also been scanned and added to Ancestry. Their materials include over 91,000 records from cemetery indices, full text obituaries from Salem newspapers, funeral home records, and Marion County death certificates from 1906. To browse this collection, start with the "Search" link in the menu bar at the top of the screen. Scroll down to "Card Catalog" and search on the title, Willamette Oregon Death Records. When the page opens, use the pull-down menu on the right side of the screen to select the type of resource you'd like to browse.

Accompanying the plaque was a letter addressed to State Librarian MaryKay Dahlgreen from Mary Alice Baish, Assistant Public Printer and Superintendent of Documents from the U.S. Government Printing Office. She expressed appreciation for our dedication and services as a regional depository library on behalf of the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP). The Oregon State Library has been a regional depository library since 2007, and shares Oregon's federal regional collection with three other partners: Portland State University, Oregon State University, and University of Oregon. More information about the program can be found on the State Library's website. The State Library wishes to acknowledge staff members Arlene Weible, Regional Federal Depository Library Coordinator, and Deanne Smith, Assistant Cataloger, for their involvement in the program.

Return to top of page Other Library News OASL Fall Conference Makes Connections [ConfLogo]The Oregon Association of School Libraries (OASL) hosted their annual fall conference on October 12th and 13th. This year's event was in Seaside, and the theme was Making Connections: Creativity, Critical Thinking, Communication, and Collaboration. With the shrinking number of school library staff in the state, a goal was to offer sessions valuable to librarians and library media managers as well as to classroom teachers and educational technology specialists. As someone who both attended and presented, I think they hit the nail on the head! I was impressed by the wide variety of offerings, from sessions about books and authors to ones about using technology for collaboration and learning to a few that offered resources for supporting the Common Core State Standards. Lynn Lary and several librarians from the Springfield School District shared about ways they have embedded resources to create libraries without walls. Paulann Petersen, Oregon's Poet Laureate, hosted a session about writing poetry and read, with a soothing languid pace, poetry about libraries as part of her address during the Saturday luncheon. And yes, there were chances to interact with authors (Elizabeth Rusch and Chris Crutcher), loyal vendors in the exhibit hall, and other attendees at a dance party! One lesson that I have referred to several times post-conference is from Wes Fryer, a digital learning consultant who gave an excellent Saturday morning keynote address: When teaching about technology (but this applies to so much else), inspire no fear and do not overwhelm. It's a simple message, yet I know I can lose sight of the latter condition when I finally get my window of opportunity to share.

Presenter: Jonathan Jacobsen, Andornot Consulting Discovery interfaces are one of the hottest trends in the library Online Public Access Catalogue (OPAC) sphere. A discovery interface provides a more intuitive and productive experience for users, whether searching a library catalogue, an article index, or any other data source. It sits on top of any existing database or integrated library system, ingesting records in many formats, and providing a web-based search interface for end users. While many public and academic libraries have implemented pricey systems such as BiblioCommons, AquaBrowser and Summon in recent years, smaller, specialized libraries have not. We believe there is significant value in discovery systems for all libraries and intend for this presentation to elucidate special librarians as to why. -- Information Rodeo Presenters: Sue Mecklem and Meryl Cole Do you have trouble wrangling just the right resources in fields outside your expertise?

Chicago: ALA, 2013 021.2 Publi3 ISBN 978-0-8389-1136-5 Public libraries are keystone public institutions for any thriving community, and as such can be leaders in making cities better places to work, play, and live. In this important book, noted urban planner and librarian Dudley shows how public libraries can contribute to placemaking, or the creation and nurturing of vital and unique communities for their residents. Using case studies and other information from the field, the author * Shows how public libraries can address pressing urban and environmental sustainability issues through smart urban design practices, making contributions to economic regeneration, and a commitment to social equity * Provides examples of innovation in public library design, management, collaboration and public services * Offers librarians, library administrators, and even urban planners the practical knowledge, tools, and vocabulary to overcome professional and disciplinary barriers >From the economic renewal potential of library development projects, to the provision of public space in a privatizing world, from services for the homeless to crisis management during urban disasters, Public Libraries and Resilient Cities explores the vital role that public libraries can play in the promotion of ecologically, economically, and socially sustainable communities in challenging times.

The new library would include more space for library collections, study and computer areas, and areas for adult, teen, and children's programming. The library would also include community meeting and program space. The City plans to augment bond proceeds with other resources such as urban renewal funds and existing library capital funds to pay for the balance of the library costs and associated parking and site improvements. If the maximum bond amount is issued, the estimated property tax rate would be 17 cents per $1,000 of Assessed Value (not Real Market Value). The bonds would mature in not more than 25 years.

Chicago: Neal-Schuman, 2012. 025.32 Welsh ISBN 978-1555707439 The impending launch of Resource Description and Access: RDA will undoubtedly transform cataloging standards that have been virtually unchanged for 30 years, and little guidance is available to help catalogers make a smooth transition to RDA. Practical Cataloging: AACR2, RDA and MARC21 fills this gap by offering a step-by-step guide for mapping these new standards onto existing rules for description. The book thoroughly covers FRBR (Functional Requirements of Bibliographic Records) and FRAD (Functional Requirements of Authority Data), on which the new rules are built, and explores how RDA elements can be incorporated into MARC21. Authors Anne Welsh and Sue Batley provide readers with an introduction to current catalogs and standards, and examine publication formats, bibliographic elements, access points, and headings. Theirs is a complete guide to RDA, including its development, structure, and features, plus a section that addresses its similarities and differences with AACR2. The authors also explain the MARC21 record, studying tags, indicators, and sub-field codes.

MacArthur Foundation Contact: Meredith Klein 312-516-1557 mklein at macfound.org NEW GRANTS HELP MUSEUMS AND LIBRARIES CONNECT YOUTH WITH FRIENDS, LEARNING, AND MENTORS TO LINK THEIR PASSIONS TO FUTURE SUCCESS Learning Labs Foster Creativity and Collaboration through Creation in STEM and Beyond Washington, DC?The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation today announced the second round of winners of a national competition to design 21st century Learning Labs in museums and libraries around the country. The 12 winners?five museums and seven libraries?will receive a total of $1.2 million in grants to plan and design the labs. Inspired by YOUmedia, a teen space at the Chicago Public Library, and innovations in science and technology centers, these labs will help young people move beyond consuming content to making and creating it. Each Learning Lab will be designed to facilitate a research-based education model known as connected learning ? one that promotes discovery, creativity, critical thinking and real-world learning through activities and experiences that bring together academics and young people?s interests, often facilitated by digital and traditional media. The labs will connect teens to mentors and peers, as well as anytime, anywhere access to information through online social networks, so they can pursue their interests more deeplyand connect these new skills to academics, career, and civic engagement. "Digital media are revolutionizing the way young people learn, socialize, and engage in civic life," said Julia Stasch, Vice President of U.S. Programs for the MacArthur Foundation. "These innovative labs are designed to provide today?s youth with the space, relationships, and resources to connect their social worlds and interests with academics, and to better prepare them for success in the 21st century." "Because of the expertise and content we have to offer, museums and libraries are uniquely positioned to offer young people meaningful learning experiences that link to science, art, and technology," said Susan Hildreth, Director of the Institute of Museum and Library Services. "With caring mentors and skilled professionals on staff to guide teens in their exploration, Learning Labs help youth express themselves and hone their skills in a safe environment." The new Learning Labs are planned for: Dallas, TX; Madison, WI; Rochester, NY; Oakland, CA; Billings, MT; Poughkeepsie, NY; Tucson, AZ; Richmond, VA; Tuscaloosa, AL; Pittsburgh, PA; Lynn, MA; and Las Vegas, NV. Each of the winning institutions will match funds from the competition and is developing partnerships with local educational, cultural, civic and business organizations to expand the resources available to build a network of learning opportunities for young people. These grantees join 12 other communities also planning new learning centers in libraries and museums as a part of the Learning Labs in Libraries and Museums project. The initiative was first announced in September 2010 in response to President Obama's "Educate to Innovate" campaign, an effort to foster cross-sector collaboration to improve America's students' participation and performance in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Since then, MacArthur and IMLS have committed to invest $4 million to support knowledge-sharing activities for museums and libraries nationwide, and work together to create new Learning Labs across the nation. Urban Libraries Council (ULC) and the Association of Science-Technology Centers (ASTC) will continue to manage and guide the Learning Lab grantee community to ensure that each new space embodies best practice principles, based on research and evidence in the field of youth digital learning, to help young people gain 21st century skills and an effective STEM education. The 12 recipients of this round of grants were selected out of a pool of 105 applicants from 33 states and one territory. Applications were evaluated by professionals with relevant expertise in digital media and learning, as well as museum and library management. Winners will participate?in-person and online?in a community of practice that will provide technical assistance, networking, and cross-project learning. To learn more about the Learning Labs Project, visit www.imls.gov or Youmedia.org. 21st Century Learning Lab Locations The following 12 locations have been selected as part of the second round of a national competition to plan and design 21st Century learning labs in libraries and museums around the country. Dallas Museum of Art Dallas, TX Contact: Nicole Stutzman 214.922.1313 nstutzman at dallasmuseumofart.org @DallasMuseumArt The Dallas Museum of Art (DMA), in partnership with the Museum of Nature and Science (MNS), will plan and design a Learning Lab focused on the intersections of science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM) learning. The proposed lab will allow youth to explore how the experimental work of artists and scientists overlap and encourage creativity and communication skills. The DMA and the MNS will share equal responsibility for staffing the Learning Lab, with a "home base" location at the DMA?s Tech Lab. As the project develops, a satellite location at the MNS may be added. Madison Children?s Museum Madison, WI Contact: Cathy Christensen 608.354.0545 cchristensen at madisonchildrensmuseum.org @PlayAtMCM Madison Children?s Museum?s KidShare project creates digitally based experiences to promote scientific and cultural literacy for middle school and high school audiences. KidShare includes a Mobile Media Lab that will travel into neighborhoods and help youth create digital stories; a Digital Design Workshop where youth can "hang out, mess around, and geek out"; and Neighborhood Lens, a prototype digital interactive exhibit focusing on local stories, collected and designed by children, including a website for off-site engagement. MCM will collaborate with the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Filament Games. The project is being developed in collaboration with the Boys and Girls Club of Dane County, and youth will be involved in every aspect of its planning and design. The Lawrence Hall of Science, University of California, Berkeley Berkeley, CA Contact: Janet Noe 510.642.2226 gwalker at berkeley.edu @BerkeleyScience This project will support TechHive, an innovative learning space providing fun, interest-driven, youth-inspired design challenges. As with the Lawrence Hall of Science's popular Ingenuity Lab, the TechHive will encourage youth to apply an engineering design approach to creativity and problem solving. It will increase delivery of this type of experience by providing a new space where youth can develop and test a set of open-ended design challenges as starting points for inspiration and creativity using software, fabrication tools, STEM expertise, peer mentors, and social media. All challenges will motivate participants to develop lengthier and more challenging engineering design projects that may involve any combination of digital sketching, computer programming, engineering design, fabrication, and digital storytelling. TechHive will leverage interest in new media to build young people?s 21st century STEM content knowledge, skills, and support career exploration. Science Museum of Virginia Foundation Richmond, VA Contact: Judy Harris 804.864.1544 jharris at smv.org @ScienceMusOfVA The Science Museum of Virginia will integrate its Innovation Studio digital media hub with a network of out-of-school time STEM Outposts?for example, Boys & Girls Clubs, 4-H programs, and 21st Century Community Learning Centers. Funding will support increases and improvements in staff and technology. It will better enable youth to learn problem solving, communications, and global awareness. The project equips volunteer mentors to facilitate learning around a series of STEM challenges. It will also result in a sustainable operating plan that fully engages the museum, youth participants, out-of-school time partners, and the broader community in a dynamic connected learning network. University of Alabama/Alabama Museum of Natural History Tuscaloosa, AL Contact: Linda Watson 205.348.6028 lwatson at bama.ua.edu The University of Alabama Department of Geography and the Alabama Museum of Natural History are partnering to plan, design, and prototype the Discovery Learning Lab, which will give middle and high school-aged students access to "geek" mentors who will guide them in explorations of digital technologies not readily available at home or school. Goals for the project include creating formal partnerships with representatives from the entire spectrum of the local education community, planning and designing a space that will allow participants ways to connect with each other and their mentors, providing opportunities for autonomous explorations as well as structured programs, and exposing teens to STEM disciplines, skills, activities, and software at the lab and in a cyberspace environment.

Weaving Montana TALES (Teaching and Learning Empowers Students) will be created by and for teens with the assistance from key staff members, which will include an area integration specialist, a Homeless Education Liaison, and the Director of Indian Education. Pima County Public Library Tucson, AZ Contact: Kenya Johnson 520.594.5610 Kenya.johnson at pima.gov @PimaLibrary Pima County Public Library (PCPL) will plan three unique media spaces to serve middle and high school youth throughout the 9,189-square-mile expanse of Pima County. Serving urban, suburban, and rural communities, the library plans to address the diverse needs of Pima County youth through a mobile media lab, a youth media space in downtown Tucson, and an online community. The planning process will bring together a leadership team of partners with a deep history of youth media programming along with established teen groups that already meet at the library. Poughkeepsie Public Library District Poughkeepsie, NY Contact:Gareth Davies 845.485.3445 x3314 gdavies at poklib.org @PokLib The Poughkeepsie Public Library District?s MediaLab will be a physical and online space where youth will get together to engage with media technology and with adult mentors in order to explore their interests and improve their skills. The physical space will be a dedicated Teen Room in the main library where youth currently gather to play electronic games, find books and DVDs, and use computers. The library district will partner with the Children's Media Project, IBM, and a group of teen advisors to plan and design a space and a selection of activities. Teens will also use a social networking space to post their projects, exchange ideas, and share their ideas with teens in other communities. Because of the main library?s proximity to the library system offices, the project offers an excellent opportunity to serve as a pilot program that can eventually serve a regional need. *** About the Institute of Museum and Library Services The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) is the primary source of federal support for the nation?s 123,000 libraries and 17,500 museums.

The green Formica/Wilsonart laminate we put on the check out desk a number of years ago has totally worn down to the brown background material. I'm wondering if any of you have had success with other surfaces such as marmoleum, linoleum, corian, granite, cement or anything else that can withstand years of books being slid across and wearing it down. Any testimonials would be appreciated. Thanks Leah ****************************** Leah M.

The campaign site is VanishingRights.com . ECPA was last updated in the mid-1980s and describes the lengths that government may go to in order to access private digital information. At a time when cloud computing is taking off and more and more of our daily interactions take place in the cloud, clarity of this law is essential. The government currently claims that our private information that resides in the cloud and the location information that can be accessed via our mobile phones is accessible without a warrant. We firmly disagree! The 4th amendment reads as follows: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. Vanishing Rights is a campaign to help fight for our rights that were guaranteed in the 4th amendment. Now is the time to update ECPA to ensure that we receive privacy in our electronic communications just as we do for a letter sent via the US Postal Service. Stay tuned as this is predicted to be a fast moving issue! http://networkedblogs.com/EEuHg?ref=nf -- *Diedre Conkling** Lincoln County Library District P.O.

I got a lot of feedback on this and will be compiling a summary report this week. Some of you have already e-mailed me indicating you would be interested in reading such a report. If anyone else would like a copy, just drop me a line. A quick summary for everyone else: * Many public libraries around the state subscribe to Ancestry.com. * The library edition of Ancestry.com is well-liked and frequently used by both library staff and patrons. * Ancestry.com is often one of the most frequently used databases offered by a library. * Lack of remote access does not seem to be much of a problem. Patrons, in general, are happy to come into the library to use the resource. * While many libraries subscribe to both Ancestry.com and Heritage Quest, Ancestry.com is much preferred for the depth and breadth of its records. Heritage Quest is often recommended as a starting place for research which can be better continued with Ancestry.com.

What are your thoughts on it? Is it well-used / well-liked by your patrons? Do you simultaneously subscribe to Heritage Quest? We are considering adding Ancestry.com to our online resources here at Deschutes Public. (We currently have Heritage Quest). We are concerned by the lack of remote access to the database, but feel that the inclusion of global records would be a benefit to our customers - perhaps enough of a benefit to overcome the access issue and draw customers into the library. Your thoughts would be appreciated. Please respond to me off-list. I'd be happy to compile an anonymous summary of responses and share with anyone interested. Thanks much.

Many institutions have used grant-funded projects to enhance the level of care they can provide for their collections, and sometimes even to jump start their preservation programs. "Creating and Funding Preservation Projects to Enhance Collection Care" is a one-day workshop that begins with identifying and setting priorities among collection needs. With a clear sense of needs, the second part of the workshop reviews sources of grant funding available to your institution. The third part of the workshop addresses the key preservation questions asked on grant applications - participants answer the questions on behalf of their institutions, building the elements of a proposal for their own collection. The workshop emphasizes working collaboratively with colleagues to develop and receive feedback on project proposals. By the end of the workshop day, participants will have: * Outlined a preservation project proposal specific to their institution * Identified possible funding sources * Tested their ideas with other workshop participants Who should attend: Administrators and staff responsible for care of the collection in all types of libraries and archives, with an emphasis on small-to-medium sized institutions without preservation grant writing experience. By registering for the workshop, the institution commits to supporting the attendee(s) to achieve the workshop's goals to develop and submit proposals for preservation projects to enhance collection care. When possible, TWO attendees from an institution should attend so they can work together on project development. Cost: No charge to the institution.

Message-ID: [Please excuse cross-postings] Arising from an interest to provide a library user education conference in the West, the first LOEX of the West conference was held at Willamette University in June 1994, with the theme "Cultivating the Electronic Landscape: Teaching and Learning in a Climate of Constant Change." The success of this conference led to another in June 1996 at University of Washington, Seattle, with the theme "Collaboration and Instructional Design in a Virtual Environment." The conference has continued since then every 2 years. LOEX of the West is not officially associated with the LOEX Clearinghouse for Library Instruction at the Eastern Michigan University Library. However, the LOEX of the West conferences have followed the LOEX conference model of a limited number of attendees, promoting an atmosphere for library professionals to learn and share experiences and ideas with others. LOEX of the West 2014 will be hosted by Portland State University Library. The LOEX of the West 2012 & 2014 Conference Planning Committees are seeking applications from institutions or organizations interested in hosting the 12th LOEX of the West Conference (LOTW) in 2016. Institutions wishing to host LOTW 2016 should fill out the form on the 2012 LOTW Website . Submit your application by: mid-January 2013 Decision will be made by: beginning of February 2013 All applicants will be notified by: end of February 2013 Important information and tips to applicants: ? Support from your institution/organization is important (this includes available facilities and staff support). ? The conference is a very grass roots organization (not formally affiliated with the LOEX Clearinghouse for Library Instruction at Eastern Michigan University) ? it is run by the conference hosts with no formal structure, dues, or governance. The money to run the conference comes from registration fees. ? Registration fees should be kept reasonable. The LOTW 2012 registration fees were $240 and $75 for the preconference (for LOTW 2012, this included all meals during the conference). ? LOTW attendance ranges between 175-250 people. ? Think about a potential planning committee (who on your library's staff will be involved?) and your team?s experience/ability to host a large event. ? Housing: it is essential to have hotels/residences nearby. ? Transportation: access to your location (nearby airports, public transit to get around your city/town, etc.) is a key factor. ? The possibility for activities or excursions for attendees outside of sessions is a plus. ? Any additional money left over from the conference usually goes to the next conference team. ? For a little more history on LOTW and to see the conference themes from previous years (with links to their conference websites where available), click here . The LOTW 2016 Selection Committee will be more than happy to help with any questions you may have about hosting.

It's by Dion Lefler and was published 11/12/12. http://www.kansas.com/2012/11/12/2566298/kansas-state-librarys-facebook.html#storylink=misearch Here's an excerpt: The Kansas State Library has launched a social-media campaign against what it says are unfair practices to keep bestselling electronic books out of the hands of libraries and their patrons. Library officials have started a page on Facebook, www.facebook.com/thebig6ebooks, "bringing attention to the titles publishers are refusing to sell (as) e-books to libraries, price gouging or limiting checkouts per copy purchased." The site names six large publishing firms, Hachette, Macmillan, HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster; and Random House and Penguin Group, which recently announced that they are merging their operations. The companies publish most of the popular bestsellers in the country, the librarians said. "Writing to publishers and complaining to each other about the publisher/library e-book conflict wasn't enough," State Librarian Jo Budler said in a statement. "We needed a (social media) platform of our own to come together with the public and really take a look at the content not available." ... This is from the About section of the "The Big 6 - eBooks in Libraries" Facebook page: About Six major publishers are making it difficult, if not impossible, for libraries to purchase eBooks. Those same six publishers are responsible for publishing nearly all the bestsellers. Description What are these publishers doing to libraries? * Charging libraries 300% for an eBook * Selling eBooks for only 26 checkouts * REFUSING to sell ANY eBooks to Libraries FYI, Jen Jennifer Maurer School Library Consultant Oregon State Library 250 Winter Street NE Salem, OR 97301 503.378.5011 jennifer.maurer at state.or.us OSLIS || www.oslis.org Learn to research.

A discovery interface provides a more intuitive and productive experience for users, whether searching a library catalogue, an article index, or any other data source. It sits on top of any existing database or integrated library system, ingesting records in many formats, and providing a web-based search interface for end users.

Primary Research Group, November 2, 2012. 023.8 Surve ISBN 1-57440-201-3 This 100+page report looks closely at how public, academic and special libraries train their employees. It gives detailed data on spending on training, and on how libraries prioritize spending on training. The report helps to answer questions such as: how many libraries and what type of libraries have specific training budgets and training directors? Do they conduct internal courses? Send employees to external courses? Use library science schools? Do they reimburse employees for library science courses taken at universities? How much do they spend on internal courses, external courses or library science schools? Who oversees training? Which areas receive the most training support? Technical services? Information technology? Digitization? Circulation? Management? To what extent does the library use training services such as LibraryU, Merlot or Webjunction, among others? Of whom is training required?

This training is for librarians who plan to take shifts staffing L-net's chat, e-mail, and texting service. Librarians will receive hands-on training with L-net?s software and instruction on techniques for communicating effectively online with patrons and providing reference service online. There are two ways to staff L-net: 1 - Partner libraries: Reference staff at Oregon libraries may staff the service as partner libraries. Librarians who do so staff the service at their libraries. 2 - Volunteers: If you?ve completed a Reference class in the past 10 years from an ALA-accredited college or university or if you have experience providing reference services in a library, you may apply to be a volunteer. Volunteers typically staff the service from home computers. If you would like to participate in the volunteer program, contact me for information about how to apply to be a volunteer. The training is free, but space is limited and advance registration is required. If you would like to attend, contact me and let me know if you would like to staff L-net at a partner library or as a volunteer. Emily Papagni, emilyp at multco.us If you?re interested in the training, but unable to attend on these dates, please contact me. I'm continuing to schedule additional trainings around the state. Also, all Oregon libraries are welcome to use L-net software to serve their local communities. Staffing our statewide service is not required. To provide chat, texting, or email service to your community, please contact me for information and to schedule your training.

It may very well be the next system I purchase. Major PROs: simplicity, ease of use and portability. Small CONs: sound quality is sufficient though not spectacular, and it's not very expandable. Think of it as a carry-on item if you were taking a trip. As a performer myself I already have a Fender Passport 250 watt system that I am very happy with (an earlier model of the current 300 Pro). I can plug in a more things if needed and it easily puts out enough volume for several hundred people outdoors. PROs: Lots of versatility. CONs: weight and possible complexity for some people. Think of it as definitely checked-baggage for your trip. I'll actually be bringing it with me to your library for a show this summer! Hope that helps. I'm willing to share more detail if you have more questions. You can contact me below.

It's been a long and interesting journey, which we'll write up one day soon. Here are links: http://www.oregonlegalresearch.com/ (homepage) http://blog.oregonlegalresearch.com/ (Note: the new blog won't go "live" until the current Blogger blog is fully migrated to Wordpress. We still have lots of librarian work to do on it (taxonomy decisions, etc.).) There is a lot of work for me, Holly (Washington County Assistant Law Librarian), and Jenn (Clackamas Co. Law Librarian) to do on the website before it gets its full bearings and strength. Feedback is very welcome. Note: This new website is not a replacement for our respective, and official, Washington and Clackamas County law library websites. 2) Public Law Library Reading List: Jenn, Holly, and I, are on a number of pro bono, self-help, self-representation, access to justice, etc. local and national professional association committees, so I created a reading list to help out the non-law librarian and non-librarian members of our committees who want to learn how public law libraries in Oregon and around the country operate. Maybe some future law librarians amongst you will be interested in this reading list as well. We update it periodically as new reports come out.

Presenter: Jonathan Jacobsen, Andornot Consulting Discovery interfaces are one of the hottest trends in the library Online Public Access Catalogue (OPAC) sphere. A discovery interface provides a more intuitive and productive experience for users, whether searching a library catalogue, an article index, or any other data source. It sits on top of any existing database or integrated library system, ingesting records in many formats, and providing a web-based search interface for end users. While many public and academic libraries have implemented pricey systems such as BiblioCommons, AquaBrowser and Summon in recent years, smaller, specialized libraries have not. We believe there is significant value in discovery systems for all libraries and intend for this presentation to elucidate special librarians as to why. -- Information Rodeo Presenters: Sue Mecklem and Meryl Cole Do you have trouble wrangling just the right resources in fields outside your expertise?

You can find this article online here. We have posted the article below: New Resource: ?Walk Softly And Listen Carefully, Building Research Relationships With Tribal Communities? The National Congress of American Indians Policy Research Center and Montana State University?s Center for Native Health Partnerships have published a new resource, Walk Softly and Listen Carefully: Building Research Relationships with Tribal Communities. A PDF version of the document is available for downloading. This new resource was developed with insights from those involved with tribal research in Montana and elsewhere. Increasingly, tribal leaders acknowledge that research is a key tool of tribal sovereignty in providing data and information to guide community planning, cross-community coordination, and program and policy development. Efforts to address longstanding issues, such as health disparities for American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/AN), have increasingly used partnership research approaches. This document seeks to strengthen these partnerships by providing insight about how culture, sovereignty, and experience matter in research with Native communities.

Many institutions have used grant-funded projects to enhance the level of care they can provide for their collections, and sometimes even to jump start their preservation programs. "Creating and Funding Preservation Projects to Enhance Collection Care" is a one-day workshop that begins with identifying and setting priorities among collection needs. With a clear sense of needs, the second part of the workshop reviews sources of grant funding available to your institution. The third part of the workshop addresses the key preservation questions asked on grant applications - participants answer the questions on behalf of their institutions, building the elements of a proposal for their own collection. The workshop emphasizes working collaboratively with colleagues to develop and receive feedback on project proposals. By the end of the workshop day, participants will have: * Outlined a preservation project proposal specific to their institution * Identified possible funding sources * Tested their ideas with other workshop participants Who should attend: Administrators and staff responsible for care of the collection in all types of libraries and archives, with an emphasis on small-to-medium sized institutions without preservation grant writing experience. By registering for the workshop, the institution commits to supporting the attendee(s) to achieve the workshop's goals to develop and submit proposals for preservation projects to enhance collection care. When possible, TWO attendees from an institution should attend so they can work together on project development. Cost: No charge to the institution. WESTPAS is funded in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities. Registration: Pre-registration required.

Originally enacted in 1986 as a means of addressing telephonic wiretapping, at a time when technology was less complex and the Internet had not yet become a ubiquitous means of communication, ECPA is no longer adequate to protect the privacy of email and other digital communications. Reform is necessary to insure that the same legal requirements that protect the privacy of physical letters and packages are extended to electronic mail and the digital applications that store and transmit our data. But reopening the ECPA for review and improvement has provided an opportunity for legislators and law enforcement agencies to propose provisions that would eliminate or weaken any privacy protections for electronic communications. One such proposal would allow federal agencies to obtain an individual's email without a search warrant. Members of the Senate - particularly Senators serving on the Judiciary Committee - need to hear that we value our privacy and want ECPA reform that preserves and enhances Fourth Amendment protections for electronic communications, rather than removes those protections. ACTION ALERT: Defend online privacy! Use this online tool to send an email to your Senators or call them directly and ask them to preserve our Constitutional rights by updating ECPA. DOES YOUR SENATOR SERVE ON THE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE? Check this full list of senators on the Judiciary Committeeand their office phone numbers. If your senator is on the list, please make a call! THE MESSAGE: Senators should vote for more privacy protections and oppose amendments that would expose the public to greater monitoring and surveillance without the appropriate subpoenas or warrants. Like a book's cover, the title of this bill does not reflect the grave threats to privacy rights inherent to proposed "reforms." The discussions are even more complex and confusing because stakeholders, like the American public, have initially only heard about potential amendments and other rumored amendments that may not be made. For further background and key provisions, visit our VanishingRights webpage. None of us have the full picture of this bill at this writing. (Bill number may be S. 1011.) WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO YOU? The statute says the government can read a lot of your most personal communications and online activities without a warrant. WHY ARE LIBRARIES CONCERNED? The library community has long standing principles committed to protecting the privacy of library users based upon the principle that the government and others have no right to access what people read - or now, where they go on the Internet. If law enforcement need such access, ALA argues that some kind of judicial due process - including a warrant requirement - must be in place. If ECPA reform does not pass in this Congress, which has little time left, it will be reintroduced in the next Congress. It is important to make our position clear now. As argued by members of the Vanishing Rights Coalition: "We are simply asking for ALL of our personal information to have the SAME Constitutional protections regardless of how we choose to store it.
