Return to top of page State Library News Oregon State Library 2012 Fall Lecture Series - Lecture #2 [TomMarsh]The Oregon State Library is pleased to announce that we have two lectures scheduled for October during our Fall Lecture series. We are taking November off before resuming with our final lecture in December. Our first lecture for October is Wednesday, October 10, in Room 103 from 12:00-1:00 and features Tom Marsh, who is a graduate of the University of Oregon and is a retired high school history teacher. He is the past President of the Beaverton Education Association and was a twice-elected Oregon State Representative from eastern Washington County during 1975-1979. His presentation is entitled, "Too Close to Call: 3 of Oregon's Most Controversial Political Campaigns" and will feature the Governor's race of 1910 and United State Senate elections of 1954 & 1968. Mr. Marsh will also speak about his new book, "To the Promised Land; A History of Government and Politics in Oregon" (OSU Press) which will be available for purchase for $29.95 (Cash and Check Only). The book is described as the first comprehensive political history of Oregon and highlights major political figures, campaigns, ballot measures and legislative sessions while examining the economic and social changes the state has pioneered since statehood. Oregon State Library 2012 Fall Lecture Series - Lecture #3 [DianeGG]Our second October lecture is set for Halloween, Wednesday, October 31, in Room 103 from 12:00-1:00. Our presenter is historian and author, Diane Goeres-Gardner. A retired educator living in Douglas County, she is a fifth-generation Oregonian whose ancestors settled in Oregon in 1852. Besides three books already published, she has recently finished a manuscript detailing the history of the Oregon State Hospital, "Asylum Autopsy." Ms. Goeres-Gardner will examine how Oregon law officers faced substantial obstacles in solving crime during the mid-to-late1800s administering "frontier justice". Additionally, she presents the various methods Oregon's clever and innovative officials used to bring law-breakers and murderers to justice in an era without DNA, fingerprints, or FBI data bases. Please join us in October as our Fall Lecture series continues. Library Development Welcomes Two New Members Library Development welcomes two new members to the team - Ferol Weyand and Arlene Weible. Ferol has been with Library Development for the past year in a temporary position, and we are excited to welcome her full time to the team. She is responsible for assisting the consultants on major projects such as Ready to Read and the LSTA grants as well as other numerous projects. Ferol will also answer or direct your questions about anything in Library Development. Arlene is the new Electronic Services Consultant, and her responsibilities will be managing and coordinating the Statewide Database Licensing Program and Libraries of Oregon website. She is transferring from the Government Research Services department and bringing with her knowledge and expertise of federal documents. Arlene will continue working with the federal depository libraries across the state and serve as the Regional Coordinator for the Federal Depository Library Program. Please join us in welcoming them to the Library Development team. Governor Honors State Library Volunteer with Lifetime Achievement Award [ClydeMullin]We are so excited at the State Library because one of our volunteers has been chosen to receive the Governor's Statewide Lifetime Volunteer Achievement Award for 2012. Since 1991, Clyde has logged 8,373 hours repairing and maintaining cassette players for the Talking Book and Braille Services. He also has delivered approximately 30,000 meals for Salem-Keizer Meals on Wheels. And at 95 years old he continues to volunteer! The State Library and Salem-Keizer Meals On Wheels teamed up to nominate Clyde because he deserves to be recognized for his lifelong dedication to helping people in Oregon. We are very pleased Clyde was chosen to receive the Governor's award at a luncheon to be held November 9, 2012 at the Salem Conference Center. We are very grateful to all people who volunteer their time and talents to libraries across the state. (Photo: Copyright by the Statesman Journal.

Of those, 127 submitted applications by the August 31st deadline, met the grant criteria, and were approved. The grant award notification mailing was sent to all eligible libraries on September 24, 2012. The list of Ready to Read Grant awards for 2012-2013 reflects the $609,755 annual budget passed by the Oregon Legislative Assembly and signed by Governor Kitzhaber. Libraries have until October 9, 2012 to appeal the approval or denial of their grant application. The grant award libraries receive may change slightly based on the results of the appeals process. Contact Katie Anderson, 503-378-2528, if you need more information or have any questions. Focus on Children and Young Adults Institute a Success Twenty-five youth services staff from 25 Oregon libraries attended the 2012 Focus Institute September 16-19. Thirteen youth services staff from eight Oregon libraries presented training in topics from early brain development to teen brain development and how the research applies to front line library services. Participants rated Becoming Thinkers (how children actually learn to read), Teen Programming, and Storytime Best Practices as the three most useful training sessions. This particular group of participants needed no encouragement to network and make friends with their colleagues at other libraries, which is actually unusual for the Focus Institute. Several of them have subsequently subscribed to the kids-lib and OYAN email discussion lists to stay connected with their colleagues. I am confident that these 25 youth services staff will go back to their libraries and start making changes to improve library services for children, teens, and the adults that care and work with them. Visit the Focus Institute webpage for more information. The Focus Institute will take place again in September 2014. State Library Closed on State Furlough Days [Furloughimage]Due to state budget cuts, the Oregon State Library will be closed on Friday, October 19th. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Return to top of page Other Library News McMinnville Public Library Celebrates Centennial the Old-Fashioned Way [MPLlogo]The McMinnville Public Library opened as a Carnegie library one hundred years ago, and the original structure is still in use as the Carnegie Room. The now much larger library celebrated its centennial this year, and as a culminating commemorative activity, staff held an Old-Fashioned Picnic in the Park in August. The goal of that event was to celebrate in the style that city residents would have in 1912. To that end, staff dressed in period clothing and offered a variety of "old-fashioned" entertainment options, including a barbershop quartet, tap dancers, a hatmaking station, and playground games. In addition, there were local authors, a magician, balloon animals, and food vendors. Alice Darnton, the reference librarian who emceed the stage acts, also participated in a clog dancing demonstration. "The picnic was a great showcase of the community's talent, and a fun way to get together to celebrate our library's centennial," noted Alice. The Yamhill Valley News-Register covered the affair, which drew about 400 participants, and even posted a video recap. For questions about the celebration, please contact Alice. October is Information Literacy Month in Oregon [ORinfoLit]Governor Kitzhaber issued a proclamation establishing October 2012 as Information Literacy Month. This aligns with the National Forum on Information Literacy's (NFIL) countrywide awareness campaign. Who better to promote this heavily than Oregon library staff, whether in academic, public, school, tribal, or special libraries? You'll have a million great ideas, and one area to consider is visual cues. For example, NFIL teamed with Libraries Thriving to develop an awareness badge that can be embedded in email signatures, posted on web pages and social networking sites, added to communications, used as a pattern to make buttons, etc. Feeling spunky? Wear a button outside of work to promote discussions about information literacy in the general community. Of course, when you do, you'll be asked about it. Be prepared to define the term and give examples of how librarians develop information literacy skills in patrons and students. NFIL also has a general badge titled "Information Literacy Supporter" that can be used all year long. Let's take advantage of this golden opportunity to promote the value of library services.

[image: The ALA delegation at Rosen Publishing] At Rosen Publishing: Company President Roger Rosen (left), Maureen Sullivan, Rosen Vice-President of Technology John Knittel, Barbara Stripling, Molly Raphael, Bob Wolven, and Alan Inouye. By Maureen Sullivan Last week, I led an ALA delegation to New York City to meet with publishers to discuss the many concerns of the library community about ebook publishing. Uppermost in our minds were the ebook concerns that have come to us from ALA members across the country--especially about pricing and availability (or the lack thereof) and the slow pace of progress in finding solutions. I expressed these concernsat a September 27 meeting hosted by the Association of American Publishers ( AAP) and attended by about 100 staff from the publishing houses. In the wake of an ALA statement on price increases by Hachetteand the issuance of an ALA open letter to publishers, the delegation (which included ALA President-Elect Barbara Stripling, Immediate Past President Molly Raphael, Digital Content and Libraries Working Group Cochair Robert Wolven, and Office for Information Technology Policy Director Alan S. Inouye) had felt a bit of ambivalence about these meetings before the trip. I am pleased to report that we experienced a series of frank, thought-provoking, cordial, and productive discussions that culminated in a hopeful feeling as we left New York. There have been press reportson the AAP session and so I won't provide an overview here. We achieved consensus on one important point, namely the necessity for an increased focus on the future to find effective ways to resolve the issues surrounding ebooks rather than to dwell on past policies and practices. For example, one publishing representative asked, "What would libraries like to see in three years?" This led to a discussion in which Bob Wolven shared some of the work being done by the Digital Content and Libraries Working Group on possible business models for library ebook services . Another key takeaway from the AAP session is the need for further education and understanding by all parties. We are in the midst of a digital publishing revolution in which everything is changing and becoming ever more complex and interconnected. For ALA, this means stepping up our efforts to provide educational resources for our members, including library community leaders, about the publishing ecosystem in a digital environment. Also, we need to determine how to help publishers increase their understanding of library needs and preferences. I would like to thank the AAP for organizing this session and for brokering communication opportunities between its member publishing houses and ALAduring the past year. Although libraries and publishers and their respective associations disagree on some significant policies, we do agree that continuing communication is immensely critical. *[image: At Scholastic: Alan Inouye (left), Bob Wolven, Maureen Sullivan, and Barbara Stripling.]Meetings with individual publishing houses* We were encouraged by what we learned in our meeting with Penguin executives. They vigorously reaffirmed Penguin's strong commitment to the library market. In the coming months, the company plans to broaden its current ebook pilot to sites beyond New York. We also gained a better understanding of the process involved in bringing a service to market within a diverse global organization. In support of ALA's increasing ebook focus in the school library and children and youth segments, we met separately with executives of Rosen Publishing and Scholastic. These companies have a long tradition of working successfully with the library community. At the Rosen Publishing visit, which included CEO Roger Rosen, the delegation discussed trends and major issues for the school library ebook market. Additionally, we received a demonstration of Rosen's impressive interactive ebooks, which are available to school libraries at reasonable prices. At Scholastic, we enjoyed a wide-ranging discussion of the important role of school libraries in the educational process with a contingent that included the publishing house's CEO Dick Robinson. We discussed digital content issues and ebooks in particular, including the specific services already offered to the school library and children and youth markets. We learned that Scholastic is exploring ways to extend its new Storia product, released in July 2012, to the library market. [image: Virginia Stanley (second from left), director of library marketing at HarperCollins, greets ALA delegation members Bob Wolven, Maureen Sullivan, Molly Raphael, and Barbara Stripling.]Our separate meetings with HarperCollins, Random House, and Hachette were also productive. A common challenge (and opportunity) discussed at these meetings is the complexity and continuing evolution of the marketplace. In particular, the ebook path from author to library involves multiple intermediate entities, such as agents, distributors, and retailers, whose concerns must be included in order to effectively address publisher-library issues. What innovations might promote our common goal of bringing authors and readers together? The "buy-it-now" button is generally viewed by the library community as an acceptable development. Are there other ways in which libraries can help to promote the discoverability and sales of books that also advance the library mission and are consistent with library values? We had good discussions of possible ways to make progress. *Looking ahead* We concluded this latest round of visits on Friday evening, September 28, heartened by the goodwill and positive intentions that were expressed. Of course, this alone will not fill our libraries' virtual shelves with ebooks. We look forward to positive developments from publishers in the coming weeks and months leading up to the 2013 ALA Midwinter Meeting in Seattle. We will continue to pursue our strategy of heightened advocacy and publisher engagement. This is likely to include several initiatives that emerged from last week's meetings.

Here is the response from our City Attorney with an excerpt from our confidentiality policy. I thought this would be helpful. Carolyn Carolyn Rawles-Heiser Library Director Corvallis--Benton County Public Library 645 NW Monroe Ave. Corvallis, OR 97330 (541)766-6910 From: City Attorney Brewer Sent: Tuesday, October 02, 2012 11:57 AM To: Rawles-Heiser, Carolyn Subject: RE: mandatory reporting question Carolyn: I think the policy already allows this: 1.07.033 The Corvallis-Benton County Public Library reserves the right to use library records for administrative and safety purposes, such as recovering overdue materials, payment for lost items, customer surveys, administrative mailings, or assisting in the investigation of crimes committed at the Library. The Library does not allow use of library records for fund-raising or political purposes. Child abuse is a crime. As a mandatory reporter, a library employee is to report, if known, names and addresses of the child and parents or other persons caring for the child, the age of the child, the nature and extent of the abuse, including any evidence of previous abuse, the explanation given for the abuse, and any other information. Under the current policy a library employee may provide names, addresses, etc. to assist in the investigation of that crime. ORS 419B.010 establishes the duty to report and does not relieve a person of that duty (or of civil liability for failing to report) because of the confidentiality of library records. The state legislature made a decision to relieve a narrow group of mandatory reporters from the duty to report if the communication is privileged under ORS 40.225 to 40.295. Library employees are not within that narrow group. Jim From: Rawles-Heiser, Carolyn [mailto:Carolyn.Rawles-Heiser at corvallisoregon.gov] Sent: Tuesday, October 02, 2012 8:41 AM To: City Attorney Brewer Subject: mandatory reporting question Hi Jim, A question came up regarding mandatory reporting. If we are required to report suspected child abuse, are we also required to use our online system to provide authorities with the name, address, etc of the suspected abuser (in the absence of a court order)? How does that dovetail with our confidentiality policy? Carolyn -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hi, everybody, As seen on the Hack Library School blog, http://hacklibschool.wordpress.com/2012/10/02/whither-reference/, some library schools are no longer offering a standalone course in reference, but instead making reference a smaller component of a larger course. The rationale is that "reference is dead". My first reaction was, "oh no! not again!" But I'm interested to start a discussion here because what isn't mentioned in this post is that the author is discussing Emporia State University, which, through the Oregon cohorts of the School of Library and Information Management, is our local library school. I attended Emporia's most recent local graduation this past August, and I got to hear some great speakers contemplate the future of libraries. In addition, I recall that both our state librarian, MaryKay Dahlgreen, and the then-president of the Oregon Library Association, Abigail Elder, also talked about how grateful we all are here in Oregon to have a library school bringing new professionals into our community. I'm grateful also. Do we expect new professionals to begin their careers with knowledge of reference services and sources? To fuel my own curiosity, I looked at the past three months of OLA Jobline announcements shared with this list. Of 55 descriptions for positions in Oregon, 11 mentioned reference service specifically - 20%. I didn't get into which of those required an MLS, but from looking at the titles, only one is for "reference librarian": Archivist for Collections Management, Eugene, OR Information Resources and Instructional Librarian, Coos Bay, OR Library Assistant/Branch Lead Worker, Beaverton, OR Manager, Architecture and Allied Arts Library, Eugene, OR Part-Time Librarian, Happy Valley, OR Reference Assistant, Albany, OR Reference Assistant, Tigard, OR Reference Librarian, Grand Ronde, OR Research/Catalog Librarian, Portland, OR Special Collections Assoc., Portland, OR Youth Services Associate, Prineville, OR I'm interested in hearing your perspective!

Be sure to choose Oregon from the drop-down menu before copying any code. Another suggestion is to link to some facts and resources about information literacy when you post the badge online or in your email signature. No time to create your own page?

Message-ID: Caleb, I'm so glad that you posted to Libs-Or about this. I wanted to but was hesitant. I took a stand alone reference course in library school. Some of it seemed like busy work. But I go back to the I gained knowledge each time I get a tough reference question. But what was the greatest learning experience I had with reference as a student was spending 6 months serving as a reference intern and then as an employee in the trenches of adult services at Monroe County Public Library in Bloomington, IN. Had I not had a course that covered the reference interview, reference transactions, etc, my first few months at the public library would have been awful. The course I took prepared with the theory, armed me with resources and techniques. Translating them into practice was fulfilling. How many students these days do reference internships? If they don't, how can a small portion of a class prepare them for a future job without course and/or reference "in the trenches" experiences? My take: we do need reference librarians and reference is not dead. It looks completely different, but it still happens. Sure, lots of L-Net questions I answer are about library accounts, fines, etc and lots of questions I answer at the PSU Library desk deal with printing in our computer lab. But would I have been able to answer students questions about finding tests and measures or survey instruments without being a trained (in the classroom and in the trenches) reference librarian? Probably not. Maybe the problem is not that reference is dead, but that the traditional reference course curriculum is. How could a full on reference course capture the breadth of "traditional" reference practices and also what's happening with new technologies, new questions, and new literacies? There must be a way.

From experts, pundits, and next-door neighbors, we hear that the future of academic libraries is uncertain, that the future of higher education itself is uncertain, and that libraries in general are in crisis. Faced with this narrative, it is tempting to change who we are and what we do in order to remain relevant, and to demonstrate our value to our schools and communities. We must realize, however, that it is precisely who we are - and who we have always been - that makes us even more relevant and valuable in the face of changing times. We are committed to creating informed, literate citizens; to advocating for free speech and access to knowledge; and to creating spaces where intellectual curiosity and individual expression are welcomed and fostered. Our tools, techniques, and buildings may have changed, but our core identity remains - and remains vital to our communities. We must not change who we are; we need only change how we communicate our value. Barbara Fister (Coordinator of Instruction at Gustavus Adolphus College Library) and Char Booth (Instruction Services Manager and E-Learning Librarian at the Claremont Colleges) join us for opening and closing keynote sessions as well. Together we'll have two days of conversation about the value and importance of academic libraries in these interesting times.

In-Reply-To: Message-ID: <46103E8D5A8084479733F34A498EFFF5013BCD224B@COMF-MAIL.comf.local> Thank you, Emily and Caleb. As an Old Person in the library world, no doubt my views on this subject will differ from those of younger librarians. I have been a library director for 20 years, and was an acquisitions librarian for five years before that. But for my first decade in libraries I was an adult services (i.e., reference and reader advisory) librarian. I still think of myself as a reference librarian. When I went to library school (which I did twice, at two different schools) the curriculum was the opposite of what it is today: there was ONE (count 'em) course on automation and the other courses rarely if ever mentioned the subject. But for my MSLS I was required to take a basic reference course and for my CAS I took an advanced reference course (which included a practice reference interview which was taped for evaluation by the professor). 37 years after I took Basic Reference @ Eastern Illinois and 30 years after I took Advanced Reference @ North Texas I still use those skills almost every day. I have learned a fair amount about computers and library automation along the way; enough to know that Evergreen is worse than CLSI ever was. If reference is outdated and irrelevant, how will patrons get their reference questions answered by the next generation of librarians now in training? -Bob in beautiful downtown Milton-Freewater, where we have dozens of computers in the library but I often head to the reference shelves for answers -----Original Message----- From: libs-or-bounces at listsmart.osl.state.or.us [mailto:libs-or-bounces at listsmart.osl.state.or.us] On Behalf Of Emily Ford Sent: Wednesday, October 03, 2012 10:29 AM To: libs-or at listsmart.osl.state.or.us Subject: [Libs-Or] does Oregon need reference librarians? Caleb, I'm so glad that you posted to Libs-Or about this. I wanted to but was hesitant. I took a stand alone reference course in library school. Some of it seemed like busy work. But I go back to the I gained knowledge each time I get a tough reference question. But what was the greatest learning experience I had with reference as a student was spending 6 months serving as a reference intern and then as an employee in the trenches of adult services at Monroe County Public Library in Bloomington, IN. Had I not had a course that covered the reference interview, reference transactions, etc, my first few months at the public library would have been awful. The course I took prepared with the theory, armed me with resources and techniques. Translating them into practice was fulfilling. How many students these days do reference internships? If they don't, how can a small portion of a class prepare them for a future job without course and/or reference "in the trenches" experiences? My take: we do need reference librarians and reference is not dead. It looks completely different, but it still happens. Sure, lots of L-Net questions I answer are about library accounts, fines, etc and lots of questions I answer at the PSU Library desk deal with printing in our computer lab. But would I have been able to answer students questions about finding tests and measures or survey instruments without being a trained (in the classroom and in the trenches) reference librarian? Probably not. Maybe the problem is not that reference is dead, but that the traditional reference course curriculum is. How could a full on reference course capture the breadth of "traditional" reference practices and also what's happening with new technologies, new questions, and new literacies? There must be a way.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <6F053575DB7CC8499B22DBF7803DAE56E93C35@ad-cc-mbx03> All, Reference is definitely not dead. Its nature is changing, and libraries are re-examining how they define and implement it as a service. Because reference desks seem to be going out of style, ?reference? seems to have become a word with negative associations. Librarians still do a lot of reference, it?s just the locations of the service have become more varied (service desk, walk-about, on-call, office hours, virtual, etc.) The content of reference questions is also changing. I find that while we get a lot of directional and how to use the equipment questions, the true reference questions that we do see are the really complicated ones. People are asking questions that they could not find the answer to on the Internet. In this sense, the ?ready reference? fact finding sources that I learned about in Library School are no longer needed. However, the core skills of active listening, reference interview, reference transactions, are things that I put into use every day at the library and are important concepts for every public service person to have at least some grounding in. I learned the theory in reference class and developed my skills by working a reference desk with some excellent librarians and observing their interactions with patrons. I agree with Emily that the coursework may be what needs to be updated to reflect the changing world of reference. Instead of reflecting traditional paper resources, course work could emphasize using online tools and common licensed resources that are not easily discovered by the general user, when to switch to paper resources (although the paper resources with no online equivalent are getting rarer), and conducting a reference interview in the online environment. A discussion of different reference models and the pluses and minuses in different settings would also be useful. Of course, many classes may already be doing this. Admittedly my degree is almost 10 years old and therefore my experience with graduate school is outdated, if not ancient. I think this is a great topic for ongoing discussions. Perhaps we could have panel discussions at meetings concerning ?what does reference look like today?? and ?what are the basic skills you need to do reference in the digital age?? Just a few thoughts.

I could have taken one in the sciences, but didn't. I can't remember what others were offered. The classes were invaluable. Database-wise, we were limited to Dialog and maybe Lexis-Nexis if I remember correctly. But what I loved, especially in my humanities class, was writing evaluations of print reference sources. I believe that library school faculty could create similar assignments for specialized databases that would serve students well. Like Max, I believe that reference is best learned through experience. I really valued the time I learned from mentors at the reference desks where I've worked.

Here are some interesting statistics from our students' use of EBSCO Academic Search Premier. In the month of February of 2005 our students conducted 11,151 searches and retrieved 4,839 fulltext documents. In the month of February of 2011 our students conducted 60,032 searches and retrieved 4,442 fulltext documents. During this same six years the total number of questions answered at the reference desk has gone down. We keep daily statistics at Clackamas. Questions about how to print and use the Microsoft Office suite dominate our time. I believe this is consistent with the findings of the 2010 ECAR Study of Undergraduate Students and Information. So, I believe Clackamas students still need help, (lots of help) but traditional reference assistance probably isn't reaching the Freshman and Sophomore students when they need it. Just mt 2 cents. Thanks for reading.

All, Reference is definitely not dead. Its nature is changing, and libraries are re-examining how they define and implement it as a service. Because reference desks seem to be going out of style, ?reference? seems to have become a word with negative associations. Librarians still do a lot of reference, it?s just the locations of the service have become more varied (service desk, walk-about, on-call, office hours, virtual, etc.) The content of reference questions is also changing. I find that while we get a lot of directional and how to use the equipment questions, the true reference questions that we do see are the really complicated ones. People are asking questions that they could not find the answer to on the Internet. In this sense, the ?ready reference? fact finding sources that I learned about in Library School are no longer needed. However, the core skills of active listening, reference interview, reference transactions, are things that I put into use every day at the library and are important concepts for every public service person to have at least some grounding in. I learned the theory in reference class and developed my skills by working a reference desk with some excellent librarians and observing their interactions with patrons. I agree with Emily that the coursework may be what needs to be updated to reflect the changing world of reference. Instead of reflecting traditional paper resources, course work could emphasize using online tools and common licensed resources that are not easily discovered by the general user, when to switch to paper resources (although the paper resources with no online equivalent are getting rarer), and conducting a reference interview in the online environment. A discussion of different reference models and the pluses and minuses in different settings would also be useful. Of course, many classes may already be doing this. Admittedly my degree is almost 10 years old and therefore my experience with graduate school is outdated, if not ancient. I think this is a great topic for ongoing discussions. Perhaps we could have panel discussions at meetings concerning ?what does reference look like today?? and ?what are the basic skills you need to do reference in the digital age?? Just a few thoughts.

I agree with what Max said, though. I learned everything I know about reference by working in a library, not from the one not-so-useful reference class that my library school offered. I am forever grateful to the first public library that hired me as an on-call librarian one month after I finished library school. In the first six months at that job the wonderful librarians there taught me more about the day-to-day realities of working in a library than I learned in the whole two years of library school. Many people think that reference is dead (or that libraries are obsolete) because "everything is online." We in the library world know that this is far from the truth. Not to mention that not everyone has internet access to begin with! Even if you have internet access and the information you want is online, it can still be hard to find. Neil Gaiman summed it up so well: "Google can bring you back 100,000 answers, a librarian can bring you back the right one."

Message-ID: Hi all, I can't resist adding that many Emporia students are benefiting from the opportunity presented by L-Net. When they volunteer, they get Emily's great training session, an opportunity to be mentored by an experienced professional, and real reference experience. To my mind, being an L-Net volunteer is in many ways akin to doing a reference internship. It's heartening that so many library students are willing to put in the time and effort.

Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Hi, Back in the day (I attended library school part-time between 1993 and 1996), we not only had the required reference class, but for my track, in academic reference, I had a humanities reference course and one in the social sciences as well. I could have taken one in the sciences, but didn't. I can't remember what others were offered. The classes were invaluable. Database-wise, we were limited to Dialog and maybe Lexis-Nexis if I remember correctly. But what I loved, especially in my humanities class, was writing evaluations of print reference sources. I believe that library school faculty could create similar assignments for specialized databases that would serve students well. Like Max, I believe that reference is best learned through experience. I really valued the time I learned from mentors at the reference desks where I've worked. I've also noticed that some newer librarians (is it generational?) think they know it all because they can type a keyword into a database. Good reference is about listening to patrons and observing colleagues.

Granted it is changing and evolving right along with libraries. I'm not answering the same kinds of questions as I was 10 years ago but I am still answering a lot of them. Also I think as budgets shrink, the luxury of a reference librarian (as only function) is going away. Much more cross training now and more and more being packed into a job description. But I do think it would be a shame to not expect librarians to perform reference work and know about sources. It is a skill that can transfer to so many different things. And we are still in the info business regardless of format so information literacy and passing that on is still very important. My 2 cents.

In-Reply-To: References: <640435851FD7CB4AB3C4BE0D1963BA24314E3434@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local> Message-ID: I think the widely held opinion that reference is learned on the job might be related to my own observation that most libraries won't let a new librarian do a gosh-darned thing by herself without watching over her shoulder for for a time, anywhere from three months to three years. Mentoring? Or hazing? A little of both, maybe. I do agree that nothing replaces experience for, well, experience. But there's also something to what Kathy is saying, that there is a foundation for reference librarianship, in theory, and techniques learned, and it is well to learn and contemplate those things away from the desk. This is what graduate school is for, to take time out and think. Our professional conferences function in the same way. I honestly don't mind if your search skills aren't so refined. The tools will continue to change and we all have to keep up. I can wax on "s S1 and S2" all I want, but I haven't used it in years. But I do hope you've taken the time to consider why you're doing reference, and what makes it different than simple customer service in a library setting. There's a comment on the blog post I linked to originally from the course instructor, who is teaching a class that *includes* reference, and says she is spending 11 of 16 weeks of it on reference. She goes on, "...while the fundamental vocation/techniques of reference are changing, the values, behaviors, and theories that anchor this professional activity remain the same." ( http://hacklibschool.wordpress.com/2012/10/02/whither-reference/#comment-8204 ) It does sound like that what students are learning is not too far off from what some of us are describing as important here. And for the rest of you who snoozed through it, you can take solace in knowing that current students' naps are fewer in number. I'm glad I'm not designing library school curriculum, who knows what *I'd* cut if I had to make the choice. Thanks Amy for the shout-out! We love having so many enthusiastic people contribute to Answerland. Now if only we could recruit some more mentors, with their seas of omniscience....

Berkeley, Calif. : New Riders, c2010 [cid:image001.png at 01CDA161.3C2FAEF0]From the publisher: It's been known for years that usability testing can dramatically improve products. But with a typical price tag of $5,000 to $10,000 for a usability consultant to conduct each round of tests, it rarely happens. In this how-to companion to Don't Make Me Think: A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability, Steve Krug spells out an approach to usability testing that anyone can easily apply to their own web site, application, or other product. (As he said in Don't Make Me Think, "It's not rocket surgery".) In this new book, Steve explains how to: * Test any design, from a sketch on a napkin to a fully-functioning web site or application * Keep your focus on finding the most important problems (because no one has the time or resources to fix them all) * Fix the problems that you find, using his "The least you can do" approach By paring the process of testing and fixing products down to its essentials (A morning a month, that's all we ask ), Rocket Surgery makes it realistic for teams to test early and often, catching problems while it's still easy to fix them. Rocket Surgery Made Easy adds demonstration videos to the proven mix of clear writing, before-and-after examples, witty illustrations, and practical advice that made Don't Make Me Think so popular.

Putting Google and other social media sites to work for your library, by Terry Ballard. Oxford [England] : Chandos Pub., 2012 >From ALA: Many libraries and museums have already adapted to the current information climate and work [cid:image004.png at 01CDA165.946331B0] with Google, Facebook, Twitter and iTunes to deliver information to their users; however, many have not. In this book librarians or museum professionals interested in developing a greater web and social media presence for their institution will find a wealth of material to justify these actions to directors and administrative boards. Ballard, an award-winning author with more than 20 years' experience as an academic systems librarian, has conducted more than two dozen interviews with professionals who have created exemplary work using social media, and shows how their experiences can create success for your institution's library. His book: * Describes the variety of free (or nearly free) options for social media and shows how libraries from the Library of Congress to small public libraries are adapting them * Provides step-by-step instructions for creating iGoogle gadgets in XML, iGoogle themes, Google Maps with community locations, and Google Earth links to archived library data * Describes the full process for creating a Google Custom Search engine The result of more than two dozen interviews with professionals who have created exemplary work using social media, Ballard shows how their experiences can create success for your institution's library.

Message-ID: <1665CA87F7B9134DACD4AC7E6277025C1C4DDC5E@CVOEXDAG2.ci.corvallis.or.us> Being a Reference Librarian and having taught reference to graduate students at a library/info school makes it hard for me not to weigh in as I can say with certainty that my primary job function is not dead. I am regularly instructing people on how to best pose their query to a database or an internet search engine, explaining the nature of information (how it is collected, used, made available), and making clear the processes behind finding accurate information quickly and efficiently. It has changed a lot in the short time I've been a professional Reference Librarian (5 years; I agree w/ another responder that ready reference is pretty much dead), but I found my reference course at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to be incredibly valuable (it was required at the time; I graduated in 2007) - I learned about and had to use tons of resources I had never used before and I learned a lot about the importance of the reference interview. On the job and by working with other more experienced librarians is how I learned the bulk of my practical skills, but the foundation was laid by my reference class. I had the unique experience of teaching the graduate level reference course for the University of Texas' Information School in Spring 2011 (it is not a required course there). It was incredibly challenging to figure out what to teach and how to approach it, but I incorporated some real reference question answering (students answered four questions each for the ipl2) and I included an assignment that had students evaluate their experiences asking questions of librarians in a virtual and real-world context. I was concerned that the latter assignment wouldn't work out so well, but, after our class discussion, it was clear the students were thinking very critically about the reference interview as a good number of them were dissatisfied with the reference services they received in those contexts. The ipl2 answers I graded very critically - I often had to figure out how to answer them myself before I would grade them. I provided lengthy comments to the students about the sources chosen to answer the questions, whether or not they had interpreted correctly what was being asked, etc. There were many instances where answers were unsatisfactory, sources provided were not credible, or the answer was just flat out wrong. Some of the questions asked on ipl2 are pretty challenging as a number of questioners have exhausted Google and do not know where else to turn. While the students were already pretty information literate, I did find that I had to go over what made a credible reference source on many occasions. I did emphasize the reference interview in the class I taught as I do not think it should be underestimated. Google and other search engines cannot put a question into context; that's the value of a good reference librarian. We are capable of fully understanding where a patron's been in a search, where they want to go, and why they're trying to get there - something a search engine cannot do. I emphasized what sets a reference librarian's service apart from just Googling something. The student evaluations were overwhelmingly positive and I think being a practicing librarian and constantly telling them about questions and other things I handled on the reference desk every day was very enlightening to them. I think it'd be great if practicing professionals could have more of a hand in educating library students on reference services. The established reference librarians I met at my first job that had been doing reference before Google was a thing, taught me so much and I worry about losing their amazing knowledge when they retire. Having taught, though, I must say that the time commitment is no joke. I worked 10-20 hours a week on that class in addition to my 40 hour workweek. I was invited back for Spring 2012, but I declined before I even knew I was moving to Oregon to accept a new position as I just can't handle that kind of working life (I do love me some free time!). It'd be really great if a college/university would consider allowing a team of reference librarians to teach a course like that. Here's an analysis of the class I taught from the Hack Library School blog: http://hacklibschool.wordpress.com/2011/08/12/declassified-reference/ (a former student compares it to the same course offered at Indiana; best quote: "I love, love, love that this course was taught by a working librarian; in fact, this course is offered in other semesters and is taught by a well-respected professor but I decided to go for something different." :) ) Here's a link to the full syllabus: http://www.bonniesue.net/documents/syllabus_bb.pdf Bonnie Bonnie Brzozowski Reference Librarian/ Interlibrary Loan Coordinator Corvallis-Benton County Public Library 645 NW Monroe Avenue Corvallis, OR 97330 (541) 766-6965 bonnie.brzozowski at corvallisoregon.gov http://cbcpl.net http://cbcpl.net/wordpress/blog/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In-Reply-To: <1665CA87F7B9134DACD4AC7E6277025C1C4DDC5E@CVOEXDAG2.ci.corvallis.or.us> References: <1665CA87F7B9134DACD4AC7E6277025C1C4DDC5E@CVOEXDAG2.ci.corvallis.or.us> Message-ID: One of the things that I learned in my reference class is the complexity of the search process, especially in terms of managing difficult questions, coping with dead ends, and having the ability to think 'where else could the answer to this question be found?'. I feel so fortunate to have learned this, both in theory and in terms of search tools, while I was in school. And even though ready reference may be less common now than it was years ago when I became a librarian it is by no means dead, at least not in virtual reference. We have research that backs this up. One of the conclusions of OCLC's Seeking Synchronicity report is that the death of ready reference has been greatly exaggerated (http://www.oclc.org/reports/synchronicity). A good reference class should teach the basics of print and online resources and the management of questions, difficult and simple. But it can also teach us why reference matters, the impact access to information has on our patrons, and the democratic nature of that access in libraries. Maybe that can be taught on the job, but aren't our patrons better off if we all understand this before we step behind a reference desk?

According to AAP's press release, US publishers can choose to make available or choose to remove their books and journals digitized by Google for its Library Project....Apart from the settlement, US publishers can continue to make individual agreements with Google for use of their other digitally-scanned works. The five publishers - Simon & Schuster Inc., McGraw-Hill Cos., John Wiley & Sons Inc., Penguin Group (USA) Inc. and Pearson Education Inc. - who originally sued Google, have entered into a settlement that outlines the terms and conditions for how Google can use their works in Google Book. The terms seem (based on what scant information we have) similar to the original settlement and Google's existing voluntary arrangement with publishers. Since the settlement only applies to the five publishers, questions do remain. The orphaned works situation (when copyright holders cannot be identified or located) is not yet resolved within Google Books. Also, the class action lawsuit brought against Google by the Authors Guild in 2005 for copyright infringement for scanning and digitizing books and making snippets available continues. Currently, the lawsuit is before the U.S. District Court Southern District of New York. Recently, the American Library Association (ALA), as part of the Library Copyright Alliance (LCA), along with the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) filed an amicus curiae or *friend of the court* brief(pdf). In the brief, the LCA and EFF defend the scanning of books for indexing and snippet view in Google Book as permissible under the doctrine of fair use.

In this series of four 60-minute webinars, registrants will have the opportunity to learn about a fast-growing library phenomenon from librarians who have been ahead of the pack. Registration for this free event is available at http://goo.gl/oZYUR . Learn what makerspaces are and how they work from librarians who are on the cutting edge of this movement. Each webinar will feature a panel of staff, administration and patrons from one of the libraries that have implemented a makerspace. They'll talk about how their makerspace concept began, how it was designed and how it was implemented. You'll learn about the maker movement in general, the role libraries are playing specifically and get ideas about how you can get involved and start a makerspace in your library. Schedule: Monday, Oct. 15, 2 p.m Eastern: Westport (Conn.) Public Library Monday, Nov. 19, 2012, 2 p.m. Eastern: Cleveland Public Library Monday, Dec. 3, 2012, 2 p.m. Eastern: Detroit Public Library Monday, Jan. 7, 2013, 2 p.m. Eastern: Carnegie Library (Pittsburgh) Registration: http://goo.gl/oZYUR . Background: Makerspaces are taking hold in the library world and they are spreading quickly, popping up in libraries of all types and sizes. Makerspaces give people a place to pursue their own interests in building things, using tools (physical or virtual) and connecting with one another. Libraries have expanded on traditional library services to provide DIY/craft/make services, setting up spaces within their buildings and within their communities that allow people to do anything from building model airplanes to 3-D printing to self-publishing novels. ALA TechSource Workshops and Webinars are designed to give you and your staff the opportunity to participate in a hands-on learning experience that will help you make the best technology decisions for your library. ALA TechSource is a publishing imprint of the American Library Association. ALA TechSource publishes Library Technology Reports and the ALA TechSource Blog. Library Boing Boing brings librarians and Boing Boing readers (aka, Happy Mutants) together to generate support for and raise interest in libraries via projects at local libraries. -- Cheers, Darci [ORinfoLitBadgeT.png]------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Darci Hanning * Technology Development Consultant * Library Development Services Oregon State Library, 250 Winter St. NE, Salem, OR 97301 503-378-2527 darci.hanning at state.or.us It's Information Literacy Month in Oregon! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

(Caleb Tucker-Raymond) In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <507172340200002400020ADE@mail.lincolncity.org> We recently hired a new librarian here at Driftwood, and while there were many different ways this librarian could have been described (s/he was going to need to wear a lot of hats), I eventually went with "Reference Librarian." Why? Well, I needed a librarian who could make him/herself available to the public at a central point, whose main duties would be reader's advisory, ready reference, and longer questions that staff at the front desk were not able to field. Web searches, genealogy questions, technology questions... To me, that was the job description of a Reference Librarian. Of course, this librarian is also doing programming, collection development, and a certain amount of cataloging... but reference work of one kind or another comprises more than half of the position's duties. This makes me feel a little concerned about the elimination of reference as a standalone course, since I think so much of what we do as librarians on a daily basis still falls into that category.

We learned that while many Oregon libraries are interested, a significant number are not. Therefore the State Library, CSD, and OYAN have decided not to pursue a statewide contract for summer reading software. Due to the fact that many libraries are interested in summer reading software and may be able to form a consortium to get a better price, I have scheduled a webinar with one summer reading software vendor for any of you who are interested-details below. After this webinar, interested libraries will be responsible for any next steps. If some libraries are interested in exploring a consortium, then they will have to take the lead on facilitating that effort. Libraries will also be responsible for scheduling webinars or product demos with other vendors of summer reading software.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <29DCC6E10E028F41B5583C1E298EAF8011C5410776@RACHEL.campus.nwcu.edu> Sorry to be late to the discussion (been out sick), but wanted to add my 2 cents: As someone who has never been a reference librarian, I'm extremely grateful I had some foundation in basic reference services and theory in my Emporia (Portland) Library School classes. I never had the opportunity or need to learn reference "on the job," but still find that I am often providing reference services, both virtually and in person. Without that classwork I would be even less effective than I'm sure I am now at this critical library service. Furthermore, as a library director, I need some sense of what to expect from a reference librarian to be effective at supervising and evaluating. Reference is changing in scope and nature, and library school courses should adapt and evolve to meet the changing needs. My concern about making reference part of another course, even if a significant part, is it then becomes much easier for the content to be whittled away over time to become a small percentage or even disappear altogether. Although, like Caleb, I cannot imagine what I would cut out to keep a MLS program to a reasonable number of credit hours as there is so much that librarians today need to know.

Hi, everybody, As seen on the Hack Library School blog, http://hacklibschool.wordpress.com/2012/10/02/whither-reference/, some library schools are no longer offering a standalone course in reference, but instead making reference a smaller component of a larger course. The rationale is that "reference is dead". My first reaction was, "oh no! not again!" But I'm interested to start a discussion here because what isn't mentioned in this post is that the author is discussing Emporia State University, which, through the Oregon cohorts of the School of Library and Information Management, is our local library school. I attended Emporia's most recent local graduation this past August, and I got to hear some great speakers contemplate the future of libraries. In addition, I recall that both our state librarian, MaryKay Dahlgreen, and the then-president of the Oregon Library Association, Abigail Elder, also talked about how grateful we all are here in Oregon to have a library school bringing new professionals into our community. I'm grateful also. Do we expect new professionals to begin their careers with knowledge of reference services and sources? To fuel my own curiosity, I looked at the past three months of OLA Jobline announcements shared with this list. Of 55 descriptions for positions in Oregon, 11 mentioned reference service specifically - 20%. I didn't get into which of those required an MLS, but from looking at the titles, only one is for "reference librarian": Archivist for Collections Management, Eugene, OR Information Resources and Instructional Librarian, Coos Bay, OR Library Assistant/Branch Lead Worker, Beaverton, OR Manager, Architecture and Allied Arts Library, Eugene, OR Part-Time Librarian, Happy Valley, OR Reference Assistant, Albany, OR Reference Assistant, Tigard, OR Reference Librarian, Grand Ronde, OR Research/Catalog Librarian, Portland, OR Special Collections Assoc., Portland, OR Youth Services Associate, Prineville, OR I'm interested in hearing your perspective!

From: OCLC Americas Regional Council Member Update [mailto:oclc at oclc.org] Sent: Wednesday, October 10, 2012 12:43 PM To: Darci Hanning Subject: Geek the Library campaign to expand to more U.S. libraries View as Web page [http://oclc.org/content/dam/emailcontent/emailcontent_header_oclc_logo.gif] OCLC to expand Geek the Library campaign to more U.S. libraries with increased support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Geek the Library, OCLC?s community awareness campaign designed to highlight the value of U.S. public libraries, has received $1,924,883 from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to extend participation in the program to 1,000 additional libraries through June 2015. The funding allows increased emphasis on library staff planning and implementation of the program, and will help staff build on the knowledge and skills they need to be effective advocates for libraries in their communities. "In addition to the awareness we're building in the community, the lessons we've learned have helped staff understand the importance of consistent messaging in telling our story," said Anna Cangialosi, Marketing Coordinator for Chelsea District Library in Chelsea, Michigan. "The Geek the Library campaign has been a great way for us to get the Chelsea community involved to tell their stories and how the library supports them, which will benefit the library even after we've completed our campaign." [GTL_KalamazooParade2012] Kalamazoo Public Library staff promoted Geek the Library at a local parade in Michigan. A recent survey of public libraries implementing the Geek the Library campaign in local communities indicated a positive connection between the campaign and improved public perceptions of the library. The study also showed improvements in library staff advocacy- and marketing-related competencies. This final phase of the program will build on these findings by introducing enhanced support for participating libraries, and a focus on building library staff confidence and skills with advocacy, marketing and communications. "Additional funding provides OCLC the opportunity to enhance the program by translating important lessons we've learned in the campaign's first years into even more support for libraries, and a greater focus in areas we know can help libraries raise awareness during the campaign and beyond," said Chrystie Hill, Director of Community Relations for OCLC. Public libraries that implement the Geek the Library campaign will continue to receive free field support, a variety of printed materials and access to extensive online resources, including templates for localizing campaign content easily. Posters that feature local community members have become a trademark of almost every campaign. The posters are an effective way to involve community members as they learn about the value of the library and the need for funding. "Public libraries bring a lot to the table for their local communities. We need to talk about it and be proud of it?we can?t afford not to," said Mary Lou Carolan, Director of Wallkill Public Library in Wallkill, New York, who is currently wrapping up her library?s local Geek the Library campaign. Geek the Library has a national campaign presence with its website, geekthelibrary.org, and social media such as Facebook, Twitter and Flickr. Geek the Library was developed based on results of OCLC's research published in From Awareness to Funding: A study of library support in America. The research and pilot campaign were also funded by a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The program will accept new participants through June 2014.

The mentoring program pairs librarians who are currently in leadership positions with librarians who are interested in becoming leaders. For mentors, it is a chance to pass on your experience and knowledge by working one-on-one with an enthusiastic colleague who is ready to learn and benefit from your experience. For mentees, it is a great opportunity to learn from an accomplished leader how to: ? explore your leadership potential ? demonstrate leadership in your current position ? acquire the skills, attitudes and relationships that you need to move into leadership roles. Participants must be LLAMA members as of the start of the program, and must either attend the Mentor/Mentee orientation at ALA Annual or be able to participate in a virtual orientation at a time to be determined. The deadline to apply to become a mentor or mentee is December 21, 2012. To apply, go to Mentor: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/8MKSJK8 Mentee: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/8M6PS2R For more information on the program, contact Holly Okuhara at holly.okuhara at gmail.com Thank you - Bede Mitchell, Melissa Laning, and Brook Minner, LLAMA Mentoring Committee members Brian McGuirk Online Services Librarian Government Research Services Oregon State Library brian.mcguirk at state.or.us 503.378-5009 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

HathiTrust Decision Message-ID: You have probably been reading all day about the decision in Authors Guild v. Hathi Trust all day but I thought I would still send you the information from the ALA Washington office in "District Dispatch." http://www.districtdispatch.org/2012/10/lca-comments-on-authors-guild-v-hathitrust-decision/ LCA Comments on Authors Guild v. HathiTrust Decision Posted on October 11, 2012 by Corey Williams | The Library Copyright Alliance (LCA) welcomes Judge Baer's decision(pdf) yesterday that the HathiTrust Digital Library's (HDL) use of digitized works is a fair use permitted under the Copyright Act. Judge Baer's key holding was: I cannot imagine a definition of fair use that would not encompass the transformative uses made by [HDL] and would require that I terminate this invaluable contribution of the progress of science and cultivation of the arts that at the same time effectuates the ideals espoused by the ADA. Judge Baer's ruling not only allows HathiTrust to continue serving scholars and the print disabled, but it also provides helpful guidance on how future library services can comply with copyright law. The HathiTrust Digital Library is operated by a consortium of universities, including the University of Michigan, the University of California, the University of Wisconsin, Indiana University, and Cornell University. Many of the 10 million digital volumes in HDL were provided by Google in exchange for the universities' allowing Google to scan books in their collections for the Google Library Project. The Library Project is the subject of two separate cases, one of which settled last week. HDL is used in three ways: full-text searches; preservation; and access for people with print disabilities. HathiTrust was sued by the Authors Guild (AG) and several other authors' associations in 2011. Judge Baer cited the two amicus briefs that LCA filed in this case. First, when rejecting the AG's contention that the library exceptions in section 108 somehow limit the fair use privilege in section 107, Judge Baer stated that the LCA brief "further convince[s] me that fair use is available as a defense for the Defendants." Then, when balancing the fair use factors, Judge Baer observed that the LCA brief "further confirm[s] that the underlying rationale of copyright law is enhanced" by the HDL. Judge Baer made numerous helpful holdings: - An association does not have standing under the Copyright Act to bring infringement suits on behalf of its members. - As noted above, the library specific exceptions in section 108 do not restrict the availability to libraries of fair use under section 107. - The creation of a search index is a transformative use under the first fair use factor: "The use to which the works in HDL are put is transformative because the copies serve an entirely different purpose that than the original works: the purpose is superior search capabilities rather than actual access to copyrighted material." - The use of digital copies to facilitate access for the print-disabled is also transformative. Because print-disabled persons are not a significant potential market for publishers, providing them with access is not the intended use of the original work. - The AG failed to show that HDL created any security risks that threatened AG's market. - AG's suggestion that HDL undermines existing and emerging licensing opportunities is "conjecture." - The goals of copyright to promote the progress of science are better served by allowing HDL's use than by preventing it. - The University of Michigan is an authorized entity under the Chafee Amendment, 17 USC 121, because it has "a primary mission" to provide access for print-disabled individuals. - The Americans with Disabilities Act "requires that libraries of educational institutions...reproduce and distribute their collections to print-disabled individuals." The Library Copyright Alliance (LCA) consists of three major library associations--the American Library Association, the Association of Research Libraries, and the Association of College and Research Libraries. These three associations collectively represent over 300,000 information professionals and thousands of libraries of all kinds throughout the United States and Canada. -- *Diedre Conkling** Lincoln County Library District P.O.

Message-ID: Greetings everyone, Here is your bi-monthly listing of various training opportunities for the second half of October. As a quick reminder: Northwest Central has a calendar of online events: here's what's currently posted for this month and for November. Additionally, the State Library has archived a number of Gale database webinars that were hosted previously for Oregon libraries: * U.S. History in Context & GREENR * What is a Library Database? * Finding eResources to Support Library Programming * Marketing Your Gale Databases Other upcoming webinars from Gale can be viewed on Gale's Training Event Calendar. Last but not least, just a quick reminder that LearningExpress offers a live, online Guided Tour each month; you can sign up here. There are also archived training webinars available from LearningExpress as well. (Note: don't sign up for the "Job & Career Accelerator Guided Tour" webinar as that service/product is not available to Oregon unless your library has purchased it separately). FoFor the second half of October, the following webcasts will be presented for free by The Accessible Technology Coalition, American Management Association, Booklist, Colorado State Library, Georgia Library Association, Grantspace, Infopeople, Insync Training, Library Journal, NASA, National Library of Medicine, Nebraska Library Commission, Nonprofit Webinars, O'Reilly, Texas State Library and Archives Commission, TL Virtual Cafe, VolunteerMatch, Washington State Library, WebJunction, and the Wyoming State Library. A list of webcasts for October is available on the Wyoming Libraries Planning Calendar. Keep in mind it may be useful to check the calendars mentioned periodically for updated/new offerings in addition to the items below. October 15 (11:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. PT) / Makerspaces: A New Wave of Library Service ALA Publishing Makerspaces are taking hold in the library world and they are spreading quickly, popping up in libraries of all types and sizes. Makerspaces give people a place to pursue their own interests in building things, using tools (physical or virtual) and connecting with one another. Libraries have expanded on traditional library services to provide DIY/craft/make services, setting up spaces within their buildings and within their communities that allow people to do anything from building model airplanes to 3-D printing to self-publishing novels. Learn what makerspaces are and how they work from librarians who are on the cutting edge of this movement by attending our upcoming series of free webinars. Each webinar will feature a panel of staff, administration, and patrons from one of the libraries that have implemented a makerspace. They'll talk about how their makerspace concept began, how it was designed and how it was implemented. You'll learn about the maker movement in general, the role libraries are playing specifically, and get ideas about how you can get involved and start a makerspace in your library!

You can't change it, or lengthen it, or shorten it, or 'manage' it. This course will help you identify ways to deal with the things you can manage: yourself, others, and the tasks with which you're confronted. For more information and to register for this program, please visit: http://us.insynctraining.com/complimentary-programs/ October 16 (11:00 a.m. PT) / Social Media and Volunteer Engagement VolunteerMatch What do you need to know about social media as a volunteer program manager? How can you use sites like Facebook, and Twitter to promote your volunteer opportunities and recruit volunteers? This webinar will offer an introduction to including social media in your volunteer recruitment and retention plans. You'll also learn about the social media tools available in your VolunteerMatch account that help you promote your volunteer opportunity on other social networking sites.

Instead, it is a collective act of many players contributing their toolset of complementary and evolving skills. Leadership "incubates" best in an environment nurtured by collaborative and continuous learning; it often grows accidentally, sometimes unbeknownst to the leader-to-be. Through peer mentoring and other methods, explore ways to create a generative space that nourishes the infectious qualities of leadership. Develop a network of seasoned learners who will incubate leadership, both within your library and in support of the broader community, collaboratively building and leading a rich and fulfilling learning organization.

The current, unprecedented global economic roller-coaster and political uncertainty impact personal philanthropy. This new normal has led to many donors' anxiety about the future. As a result, people are not making new, first time gifts and are cutting their giving to some of their former charities-if not eliminating them altogether. Then, where are you to find the donors and the money to achieve your goals? Research shows that it requires 4.5 times the effort, staff, and dollars to acquire a new donor as it does to keep one. Yet some nonprofits seem to spend more time and energy pursuing a new giver than making the effort to keep the old friend happy and engaged.

Mastering Google's powerful search refinement operators and lesser known features could, over a year's time, save you days scouring over irrelevant results. Even more enticing is the promise of elusive nuggets of market research and competitive intelligence out there waiting to be discovered -- IF you know how to wield Google. Neurologists estimate that we humans use a mere 1% of our mental capacity. Similarly, the majority of our search queries are surprisingly unsophisticated and thus the true power of the Google search engine, for most of us, remains untapped. Learn how you too can become an expert Google searcher and extract invaluable data about your competitors and about the market like never before -- with laser-like accuracy and extreme efficiency.

In this series of four 60-minute webinars, registrants will have the opportunity to learn about a fast-growing library phenomenon from librarians who have been ahead of the pack. Registration for this free event is available at http://goo.gl/oZYUR . Learn what makerspaces are and how they work from librarians who are on the cutting edge of this movement. Each webinar will feature a panel of staff, administration and patrons from one of the libraries that have implemented a makerspace. They'll talk about how their makerspace concept began, how it was designed and how it was implemented. You'll learn about the maker movement in general, the role libraries are playing specifically and get ideas about how you can get involved and start a makerspace in your library. Schedule: Monday, Oct. 15, 2 p.m Eastern: Westport (Conn.) Public Library Monday, Nov. 19, 2012, 2 p.m. Eastern: Cleveland Public Library Monday, Dec. 3, 2012, 2 p.m. Eastern: Detroit Public Library Monday, Jan. 7, 2013, 2 p.m. Eastern: Carnegie Library (Pittsburgh) Registration: http://goo.gl/oZYUR . Background: Makerspaces are taking hold in the library world and they are spreading quickly, popping up in libraries of all types and sizes. Makerspaces give people a place to pursue their own interests in building things, using tools (physical or virtual) and connecting with one another. Libraries have expanded on traditional library services to provide DIY/craft/make services, setting up spaces within their buildings and within their communities that allow people to do anything from building model airplanes to 3-D printing to self-publishing novels. ALA TechSource Workshops and Webinars are designed to give you and your staff the opportunity to participate in a hands-on learning experience that will help you make the best technology decisions for your library. ALA TechSource is a publishing imprint of the American Library Association. ALA TechSource publishes Library Technology Reports and the ALA TechSource Blog. Library Boing Boing brings librarians and Boing Boing readers (aka, Happy Mutants) together to generate support for and raise interest in libraries via projects at local libraries. -- Cheers, Darci [ORinfoLitBadgeT.png]------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Darci Hanning * Technology Development Consultant * Library Development Services Oregon State Library, 250 Winter St. NE, Salem, OR 97301 503-378-2527 darci.hanning at state.or.us It's Information Literacy Month in Oregon! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: <20DC63F6B5C9C344A318BAE3476AEA8901B611630277@ohsexch.ohs.local> Grant Funding Allows Oregon Libraries to Host Oregon History Museum Exhibits at No Cost Oregon?s Landmark Legislation Oregon: 150 Years of Statehood, 150 Million Years in the Making Portland, OR - October 1, 2012 - Oregon libraries are invited to host two Oregon History Museum traveling exhibits at no cost. The two exhibits, Oregon?s Landmark Legislation, and Oregon: 150 Years of Statehood, 150 Million Years in the Making, were both made specifically for exhibit in the Oregon State Capitol. A grant from the Library Services and Technology Act has underwritten the shipping of these panel exhibits to any library in the state, so that these rich exhibits can be available to a wider audience. Libraries are welcome to reserve the full exhibit, or specific panels within an exhibit, for up to one month. Suggested programming and activities are available on the Oregon Historical Society website, WWW.OHS.ORG. Libraries interested in hosting one or both of these exhibits should contact Nicole Yasuhara at 503.306.5238 or Nicole.Yasuhara at OHS.org. Exhibit hosts are required to complete an online exhibit evaluation survey at the completion of the exhibit. About the Exhibits: Oregon?s Landmark Legislation Oregon has repeatedly led the nation in creating, revising, and implementing laws shaping the quality of life of its citizens. While Oregon?s innovations have evoked controversy, they have charted the course for other states and nations. The 16 exhibit windows at the State Capitol highlight groundbreaking legislation that Oregon has passed since Statehood either by Politician, Legislative Action, or Public Initiative. Arranged chronologically, the window panels present legislation that focuses on environmental, social, and land use issues. View the exhibit panels at http://ohs.org/exhibits/current/oregons?landmarklegislation. cfm Oregon: 150 Years of Statehood, 150 Million Years in the Making In 2009, Oregon celebrated 150 years as a state. Oregon?s landscape has a much longer history - geological processes have been building the state's landscape for more than 150 million years! The panels in this traveling exhibit illustrate how geology crafted Oregon?s landscape and natural resources and continues to shape the land and lives of its citizens. The most iconic of Oregon?s landscapes - Crater Lake, Multnomah Falls, Newberry Crater, Steens Mountain, the Painted Hills, and so much more - display Oregon?s geologic splendor. We invite you to explore these 16 panels into how Oregon's landscape was assembled during the past 150 million years - and to celebrate those who learned to read the landscape before and during Oregon?s 150 years of statehood. View the exhibit panels at http://ohs.org/exhibits/current/oregon?150?years?of?statehood? 150?million?years?in?the?making.cfm About the Oregon Historical Society The Society has served as Oregon?s primary research collection and museum about Oregon history since 1898. OHS has an extensive collection of historical pieces, including over 85,000 artifacts and 3 million photographs and films. It safeguards and presents Oregon?s history through a museum, research library, traveling exhibits, school programs and website content.

It works to make ALA more democratic and to establish progressive priorities not only for the Association, but also for the entire profession. Concern for human and economic rights was an important element in the founding of SRRT and remains an urgent concern today. SRRT believes that libraries and librarians must recognize and help solve social problems and inequities in order to carry out their mandate to work for the common good and bolster democracy. SRRT?s main website is hosted at http://libr.org/SRRT.**** The mission of OLOS is to identify and promote library services that support equitable access to the knowledge and information stored in libraries. OLOS focuses attention on services that are inclusive of traditionally underserved populations and people generally discriminated against based on race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age, language and social class. The Office ensures that training, information resources and technical assistance are available to help libraries and librarians develop effective strategies to grow programs and services for library users.**** Contact:**** *John L.

Char will share her own thesis experience and explain how it shaped her explorations into educational communication and our need to adapt and advocate for libraries to remain relevant vibrant centers of future scholarship. "When dissemination is part of the pedagogical process, it can build transformative learner insight into what it means to participate in a community of practice. Writing for a wider audience at the undergraduate level is a springboard for the cultivation of a student's voice, interests, and expertise, and can expand the meaning of an assignment beyond a graded exercise." /Char Booth - info-mational / // Char Booth '01 is the Instruction Services Manager & E-Learning Librarian at the Claremont Colleges Library and also serves on the faculty for the Information Literacy Immersion program, sponsored by the Association of College and Research Libraries. Her pedagogical explorations into library culture focus on the integration of instructional design, technology, and assessment. The influence of her Reed education shines through in her work as she delves deeply and reflects critically on library issues that have traditionally been given surface treatment. She also uses her personal thesis experience to inform her work with students and faculty on the undergraduate research process. Char has authored two books and several articles, detailing her research and prescription for libraries' progressive dissemination of information, including how librarians can connect patrons' needs, effectively harness technology, and reflect on the collective educational exchange. She virtually propagates such philosophies at info-mational , her blog "on technology, media literacy, and librarians who t-c-b." -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: Caleb asked, as part of his many-responses-provoking post, for folks to share whether they had a formal reference class in library school. I did; in fact I had several reference classes* and I have used what I learned in these classes every single day of my thirteen years working as a librarian. I cannot emphasize that enough: *every single day!* The reason this study has been so important for me is that it gave me a solid grounding in how information is structured, and the theoretical and philosophical approaches our profession takes to patron service, information retrieval, and many other related topics. This theory is a basic structure that can be applied to any reference interaction, on any subject, in any environment, with any available tools and resources. I use my theoretical and philosophical grounding in work with patrons, when I plan and execute projects and services, in conversation with colleagues, and as I consider the large and small questions we face as a profession. Reference work is thrilling because you never know what you'll be asked -- patrons constantly surprise me. But without the philosophical/theoretical structure that grounds my information service work, I would be at sea with each new question. I'd be a worker without tools. And that old chestnut, "Is reference dead?" -- I'm sick of it, and I'm sure you all are too. Obviously it's not dead, it will never die because people will always have questions and information problems and they will always need help. And clearly we are all quite committed to providing that help in whatever format or under whatever circumstances we can. I don't know that I care whether library schools devote a course specifically to reference or information service or not. But they *do *need to drill their students in the theory that grounds reference and information services work. Without this grounding, the profession would profoundly suffer. - Emily-Jane * For those of you who are curious, I attended the University of Maryland's library school during 1997-1999. I took Introduction to Reference, which was required, and also Electronic Reference (basically the theory and practice of database searching), Social Sciences Reference, Government Information, and Art Reference. There was a Humanities Reference class too, but I wasn't able to take it. What I missed in library school is cataloging -- can you believe that? UM required a classification theory class only. I've sorely regretted not taking a cataloging course ever since because I can see that the lack of it limits my -- here it is again -- philosophical understanding of this part of our work. -- Emily-Jane Dawson | *reference librarian* Multnomah County Library tues-sat: Central Library | 503.988.5728 * follow us: *facebook | twitter "There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book.

EveryLibrary is attempting to raise $50,000 by November 7th. This money will be used to (A) Fundraise nationally to transfer "seed money" to local ballot committees and PACs; (B) Hire great campaign consultants to make sure we do voter outreach and education right; and (C) Fund full time staff to keep the PAC engine growing for future success. In an attempt to hit this goal by election day, (founder) John Chrastkahas put forth a challenge to every state to raise $1,000. Here are how the top six states are doing so far: NY - $1185 NJ - $700 CA - $255 CO - $145 TX - $125 OR - $110 Oregon is still in it to win it! We are only $890 short.

The coalition was formed to champion "first-sale rights," or ownership rights, as the issue will be taken up by the U.S. Supreme Court in the case of Kirtsaeng vs. Wiley & Sons, Inc. on October 29, 2012. The Supreme Court's decision could have adverse consequences for libraries and call into question libraries' abilities to lend books and materials that were manufactured overseas. Read the Owners' Rights Initiative statement below to learn more about the coalition and the case: *You Bought It, You Own It! Owners' Rights Initiative Launches to Protect Consumers' Rights* *Coalition of businesses, associations, educators and libraries join together to protect ownership rights and global commerce* Today, a diverse coalition of retailers, libraries, educators, Internet companies and associations joined together to launch the Owners' Rights Initiative (ORI) to protect ownership rights in the United States. ORI is committed to ensuring the right to resell genuine goods, regardless of where they were manufactured. The organization believes that this right is critical to commerce and will engage in advocacy, education and outreach on this important issue. "The sudden erosion of ownership rights is becoming an alarming trend in the United States due to recent federal court decisions. Our position is simple: if you bought it, you own it, and you can resell it, rent it, lend it or donate it, and we believe the American people fundamentally agree. ORI will serve as a powerful voice to advocate for ownership rights while educating consumers, businesses and policymakers about this critical cause," said ORI Executive Director Andrew Shore. For over 100 years in the United States, if you bought something, you owned it and could resell it. Once the copyright owner makes the first sale, the right of ownership, and therefore the right to distribute, is transferred to the purchaser- a common law right referred to as the 'first sale doctrine.' Today, this fundamental ownership right is at issue in the Kirtsaeng vs. Wiley case, which will be argued before the Supreme Court on October 29, 2012. The case centers on a graduate student, Supap Kirtsaeng, who bought authentic textbooks - published by John Wiley & Sons - through friends and family in Thailand and sold them online in the United States. Kirtsaeng was sued by the book publisher, who claimed that the right of first sale did not apply because the books were manufactured overseas, and he was therefore not authorized to sell the books. "It is hard to conceive that Congress intended to incentivize manufacturers to move operations overseas, force American consumers to pay higher prices, make it hard for us to donate our own stuff to charity, and cripple the ability of libraries to lend books--without saying anything like that in the law," said Marvin Ammori, a legal advisor to ORI and an Affiliate Scholar at Stanford Law School's Center for Internet & Society. He explained that if the high court rules in favor of Wiley's interpretation, "it could be illegal for American consumers and businesses to sell, lend, or give away the things they own- but only if the company happened to have manufactured the goods overseas and put a little copyrighted logo or text on them. But being able to sell your own property is a fundamental liberty recognized for centuries and a pillar of a market economy. Where a product was manufactured should be irrelevant for this fundamental right." ORI members are concerned that loss of basic ownership rights through a misinterpretation of copyright law could have significant, adverse consequences for global commerce and could impact consumers, small and large businesses, retailers, libraries and more. The founding members of ORI are: - American Free Trade Association - American Library Association - Association of Research Libraries - Association of Service and Computer Dealers & the North American Association of Telecommunications Dealers (AscdiNatd) - Computer and Communications Industry Association (CCIA) - Chegg - eBay Inc. - Goodwill Industries International, Inc. - Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) - Impulse Technology - Internet Commerce Coalition - International Imaging Technology Council (ITC) - Network Hardware Resale - Overstock.com - Powell's Books - Quality King Distributors, Inc. - Redbox - United Network Equipment Dealers Association (UNEDA) - XS International Hillary Brill, senior global policy counsel to eBay Inc. said, "The Supreme Court now has an opportunity to protect the right of small businesses and individuals to sell legitimate goods across borders, which will benefit consumers, businesses and the overall Internet-enabled economy. At eBay, we are passionate about using technology to open world markets. Ownership rights are fundamental to commerce. They provide both opportunities for entrepreneurs and small businesses to engage in global trade and provide more options for consumers at competitive prices." Joseph Marion is the President of the Association of Service and Computer Dealers International and the North American Association of Telecommunications Dealers (AscdiNatd), an ORI member association representing business that sells used and refurbished telecommunications and computer equipment. Marion explained that businesses in his industry, which employs over 100,000 people in the United States, would be jeopardized if they lost the right to freely import and resell products. "This threat is very real. Manufacturers would be able to eliminate competition and control downstream distribution of products by simply moving manufacturing overseas," Marion said. A Supreme Court decision against Kirtsaeng would also have implications for organizations that lend copyrighted goods, including libraries and companies like Redbox, which rents movies. "Anyone who has ever borrowed books or other materials should be paying attention to this case," said Corey Williams, associate director of government relations from the American Library Association. "Libraries rely on the protections of the first sale doctrine in order to lend books. It is critically important for the Supreme Court to recognize the impact this case could have on libraries and the public that they serve." The Association of Research Libraries (ARL), an ORI member, further explained the impact of the case on students and educators. "University libraries collect and preserve materials of all kinds from all over the world to support teaching, learning, and research for our students, faculty and members of the public," Prue Adler, associate executive director of ARL said. "The materials we own and collect are held in trust for the public and for future generations." Alfred Paliani, President of the American Free Trade Association and General Counsel of Quality King Distributors, Inc. a large distributor of consumer products and the prevailing party in Quality King v. L'Anza, the Supreme Court decision that upheld the first sale doctrine in the context of copyrighted merchandise produced in the United States said that, "the cross-border flow of legitimate, secondary and discount goods into the United States is a critical component of free market. AFTA and Quality King have been fighting this battle for over 20 years and welcome so many strong advocates to the fight." Andrew Shore, executive director of ORI added, "Ownership rights are fundamental and they matter to everyone: students, educators, large companies, small businesses, anyone who has every bought a good from a retailer or wholesaler or online seller, anyone who rents books or movies, anyone who wants to resell their items online or at a yard sale or give their property away to charity. Regardless of what the Supreme Court decides in this case, we are committed to fighting for ownership rights over the long term."

The blind plaintiffs filed suit because the library began lending NOOK Simple Touch e-readers, which are manufactured and sold by Barnes & Noble, to patrons over fifty. Unlike some other portable e-readers that use text-to-speech technology and/or Braille to allow blind people to read e-books, the NOOK devices are completely inaccessible to patrons who are blind. Under the terms of the settlement, the library will purchase ten accessible e-readers to supplement the devices it has already purchased, and within four years will use only accessible e-reading devices. The library will also incorporate an accessibility requirement into its technology procurement contracts. The settlement brings the library?s policies and practices into compliance with guidance issued by the United States Department of Education. The library?s commitment is also in line with a resolution passed in 2009 by the American Library Association entitled Purchasing of Accessible Electronic Resources, which urged ?all libraries purchasing, procuring, using, maintaining and contracting for electronic resources and services? to ?require vendors to guarantee that products and services comply with Section 508 regulations, Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0, or other applicable accessibility standards and guidelines.? Dr. Marc Maurer, President of the National Federation of the Blind, said: ?We applaud today?s settlement and the commitment of the Free Library of Philadelphia to create an e-reader lending program that will serve all of its patrons, including those who are blind or who cannot read print for other reasons. The library?s commitment to procure accessible technology means that vendors of e-reading technology and content will have to make their products accessible in order to sell them to the Free Library of Philadelphia. We hope that other libraries, educational institutions, and other entities with legal obligations to serve people with disabilities will emulate the approach being adopted by the Free Library of Philadelphia. If they do, we believe that all e-book content will ultimately be accessible to the blind, giving us equal access to the printed word.? ### About the National Federation of the Blind The National Federation of the Blind (NFB) is the oldest, largest, and most influential nationwide membership organization of blind people in the United States. Founded in 1940, the NFB advocates for the civil rights and equality of blind Americans, and develops innovative education, technology, and training programs to provide the blind and those who are losing vision with the tools they need to become independent and successful.

Although we covered a few topics, and I am happy to customize workshops from among several topics available, I do have a special desire right now to raise awareness of fiscal issues like tax reform [and, by extension, the deficit]. Here is some of the text from the attached flyer: Tax Reform 101 Timely and critical: How do we reform our individual income tax code? ?You made taxes interesting!? A workshop participant Federal tax policy represents a value system for collecting government revenue and for government spending. And, it can affect our deficit. Conservatives and liberals can find much to agree on if they take the time to appreciate some basic underlying principles of the federal income tax. If you cringe at the thought of learning about tax policy, this is the workshop for you! We focus on key principles; principles which anyone can understand. Principles which will surprise you, and which will give you the knowledge to engage more effectively in the current national discussion. Sara Jesudason, Adult Services Supervisor says, ?Donna brought a balanced, informed set of discussion points and fact-checking sources on voting, tax reform, citizenship, and other topics that sometime turn politics from polite conversation to heated argument. Attendees left feeling that they had enjoyed a robust and meaningful dialog on important issues.? Please let me know if you might be interested.

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.

One of those was adopting a law that for every X number of textbooks a college bookstore ordered (say 50), the publisher would be required to donate 2 to the campus library. This would build up the college library's reserve collection, and give students access to textbooks at minimal cost to them or the college. Well, it turns out that there is a clause in that pesky U.S. Constitution (the 5th amendment, to be precise) called the "takings clause." It says that Government cannot just take things from private individuals or businesses. It has to buy them. And saying "If we buy 50, you HAVE to give us two" would be a taking. And the Supremes have consistently ruled that since the adoption of the 14th amendment and its equal protection clause, the states are bound by this as well.We can negotiate, "If we buy 50 from you, would you give us 2freebies?", but that could not be mandatory. The textbook taskforce is recommending to the HECC that further study be conducted on how library reserves can be used to lower textbook costs by providing an alternative. At this point it is only a recommendation for future study. A full report from the taskforce is due in November. If there is anything in it of interest to libraries, I'll pass it on.Tony Greiner, Portland Community College Library**tony_greiner at hotmail.com** -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We are currently gathering Oregon Battle of the Book title nominations for the 2013-14 school year list. Nominations are due by November 15, but sooner is better as our committee reads the books before our title selection meetings in November, January and February. Keep in mind that we need the books to be in paperback in order to make it an affordable program. If it is a series book, the first in the series is the one we usually use. You may nominate up to three books in each division. I have attached the archive list for titles used since 2008. Titles in bold on that list can be re-nominated as we used them over four years ago. We try for a balance of genres. Each book needs to be detailed or long enough to support the writing of 80 quality questions and should have high appeal to kids all over Oregon. If you have a good non-fiction title for each division, feel free to add a 4th title to each division. We try to have non-fiction, but struggle with the right kind of books to support the competition. Students and other readers of children's and YA lit are welcome to nominate titles, in addition to teachers and librarians, so spread the word and invite your readers to participate in the process.

We have raised $307 of our $1,000 goal. Thank you to everyone who has donated so far. We need your help to spread the word about EveryLibrary to your friends, neighbors, and family so we can reach our goal. EveryLibrary is attempting to raise $50,000 by November 7th. This money will be used to (A) Fundraise nationally to transfer "seed money" to local ballot committees and Political Action Committees; (B) Hire great campaign consultants to make sure we do voter outreach and education right; and (C) Fund full time staff to keep the PAC engine growing for future success. In an attempt to hit this goal by election day, (founder) John Chrastkahas put forth a challenge to every state to raise $1,000. Here are how the top six states are doing so far: NY - $1185 NJ - $770 CO - $330 CA - $310 OR - $307 CT - $275 If you have not already heard, EveryLibrary is a National Political Action Committee (PAC) whose mission is to build financial and tactical support to ensure that local library initiatives pass at the ballot box. Check out their website for lots of great info about what EveryLibrary is and what it can do. http://everylibrary.org/ Oregon is still on track to get to our goal. We are only $773 short. Which means, if 74 people each threw in $10, we could hit $1000 in no time. Donating can be done online here: http://tinyurl.com/OR4ELPAC Also, check out this great piece written by Turner Masland on the ORLSA site. You can also follow our progress on Facebookand Twitter .

[ORinfoLitBadge] From: District Dispatch [mailto:districtdispatch at alawash.org] Sent: Wednesday, October 31, 2012 7:26 AM To: Jennifer Maurer Subject: [District Dispatch] Assessing Digital Literacy Skills: Learn One Approach to Creating Online Assessment Tools [http://images.capwiz.com/ala/images/template_for_capwiz.jpg] Assessing Digital Literacy Skills: Learn One Approach to Creating Online Assessment Tools [Kit Hadley] Below, guest blogger and Saint Paul Public Library Director Kit Hadley offers insight into ways that libraries can navigate the digital literacy environment by describing the work of the Northstar Digital Literacy Project. Hadley's article is part of the ALA Digital Literacy Task Force's continuing efforts to highlight library leadership in the digital literacy sphere. On November 14, 2012, the ALA Office for Information Technology Policy and its Digital Literacy Task Force will host Creating a Culture of Learning: How Librarians Keep up with Digital Media and Technology, a national conversation about the role of libraries in supporting and deepening digital literacy skills development for students, the general public and colleagues in other professions (RSVP now). Librarians can submit blog posts about their digital literacy programs by sending an email to mvisser at alawash.org. At the height of the recession, the Saint Paul Public Library and the Saint Paul Community Literacy Consortium initiated a project to help teach basic digital literacy skills and offer a certificate to help in job search. Our target audience was people lacking minimal computer literacy skills. We were working with people everyday without the computer skills necessary to apply for jobs on-line, engage in e-commerce and e-government, find library resources, participate in adult basic education and career readiness programs, or take basic courses at community colleges. Now, a collaboration of organizations has launched the Northstar Digital Literacy Project, which offers free on-line assessments of basic digital literacy skills in six modules: basic computer use, world wide web, Windows 7, Mac OS X, using e-mail, and Microsoft Word, at www.digitalliteracyassessment.org.

Emily?s transcript is online at: www.answerland.org/awards . In this transcript, the patron asked for help in requesting a book from the Mt. Angel Public Library for pick up at the Silver Falls Library District. Emily conducted a brief reference interview with the patron to find out where the patron was in the process, including requesting the URL of the page where the patron was trying to place the hold, so they both could (literally) be on the same page. Emily determined that the patron was looking at a record for an e-book. After clarifying that a print version was what was desired, Emily walked the patron through how to make the request, asking questions as they went along to make sure the patron was with her at each step. The patron was able to place the hold, and thanked Emily effusively and with many exclamation points (!!!!!!!). She concluded the chat with an offer of more help, which the patron declined. The Quality Team is impressed with Emily?s interaction with the patron throughout this chat. Though the request seemed straightforward, Emily took the time to conduct a reference interview to make sure that she and the patron were starting off from the same point. She explained to the patron why the patron was having trouble requesting the title, and took ownership of using ?librarian speak? when the patron was confused about the distinction between an e-book and a print version. Emily let the patron set the tone of the interaction: it was clear early on that the patron was a big fan of exclamation points and emoticons, which Emily easily matched. As an expression of our appreciation, Emily was presented with flowers and a certificate at the ACRL-OR/WA Fall Conference at Menucha. Please join us in congratulating her!

Out of all the suggestions made, two people will be nominated for each vacancy. New Council members will be elected by the Oregon State Library Board of Trustees at their December 14, 2012 meeting. The State Library tries to have a good geographic representation of Oregon in the Council, which may influence who is nominated. Use our survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/VHJYBWB to make suggestions. Please suggest one person for each survey response. You may suggest more than one person by doing multiple surveys. We are looking for suggestions for: Academic Library Representative Library User Representative Public Library Representative Special Library Representative This year, the State Library is also seeking suggestions for nomination to fill out the last year of an Academic Library Representative term. The LSTA Advisory Council is a 13-member body that advises the State Library Board on LSTA competitive grants and statewide programs. Terms on the Council are for three years. Representatives would serve from January 2013 to December 2015. The Council normally has two all-day meetings a year; one in May and one in September, with special meetings as needed. In recent years, the Council has added an additional half-day meeting in May. Travel expenses are reimbursed for Council members to attend meetings.

I am pleased to announce that we will be having our luncheon on Wednesday, November 7th, at the Multnomah County Library! We are very fortunate to be invited by Jim Carmin at the John Wilson Special Collections (read more about this wonderful collection here: http://www.multcolib.org/about/mcl-wilson.html). It is newly rennovated, and I for one, am very excited about this visit! I hope you'll join us! We will be meeting at the Central Branch at Multnomah Co. Library at noon, in the front foyer (let's congregate for about 10 minutes to make sure to intercept any late-comers). We'll then get taken up to a conference room on the 5th floor where we can eat our lunch and chat for a little while before the tour. Thank you so much to our host, and we hope to see you there. Please RSVP to me, eloftis at cci.edu, so that we have an idea of how many to expect. Take care, Happy Halloween, and see you soon!
