The Board reviewed the 2013-15 Agency Request Budget and approved its submission to the Governor's office for his consideration. The Governor will release his recommended budget in December.

The Committee included three Board members, Sam Hall, Aletha Bonebrake, and Sue Burkholder. Also participating in the Committee were OSL managers and a representative from each program team. The Board also heard a report from Katie Anderson, Youth Services Consultant, on the recently completed Reading for Healthy Families grant project.

Return to top of page State Library News Oregon State Library 2012 Fall Lecture Series - Lecture #1 [TracyHill]The Oregon State Library is pleased to announce our first lecture for our 2012 Fall Lecture series. Our next lecture is Wednesday, September 5, in Room 103 from 12:00-1:00 and features Tracy Hill, coordinator for the McLoughlin Memorial Association. Her presentation is entitled, "Oregon's Holy Rollers: Murder and Madness in Oregon's Love Cult". This is the story of cult leader Franz Edmund Creffield and is a tale of religion, the power of a charismatic leader, lust, scandal, insanity, devotion, murder and suicide. It's a very odd, interesting story, and one that is now largely forgotten. In 1903, Edmund Creffield lured most of Corvallis's Salvation Army soldiers to his own church, the Church of the Bride of Christ. Locally, they were known as the Holy Rollers cult. Most of Creffield's followers were women, and not just any women, but women who were the wives and daughters of respected men, women of high character and standing. The trouble began as both the religious and sexual mores of the time were severely challenged and a community reacted swiftly and negatively. For the past 10 years, Tracy has been the Coordinator for the McLoughlin Memorial Association, working at the Dr. John McLoughlin House museum in Oregon City, leading tours and coordinating special events. Please join us on September 5 as we bring open our Fall Lecture series. Oregon Public Broadcasting Donates Programs to OSL [ThinkOutLoudLogo]In 2011, Oregon Public Broadcasting donated copies of the OPB radio program Think Out Loud, and the OPB television program Oregon Experience, to the State Library. The donation was in recognition of the support OPB has received from the Rose E. Tucker Charitable Trust, the Miller Foundation, and the Oregon Cultural Trust. OPB felt that making these programs available to Oregon citizens via the State Library was more meaningful to the foundations than a plaque. We think they're right! The Think Out Loud programs are on CD, and feature interviews with northwest authors and poets, including Jane Kirkpatrick, Ursula Le Guin, Sherman Alexie, and poet laureate Paulann Petersen. The Oregon Experience programs are on DVD, and cover a broad range of topics, including the Oregon bottle bill, Opal Whitley, the Modoc War, Vortex I, and microbreweries. These programs are available on inter-library loan to Oregon libraries, and on direct loan to Oregon citizens who visit the State Library. Rebuilt OSLIS Website Went Live in Mid-July [OSLISLogo]OSLIS is a K12 website with three main features: information literacy resources; access to the statewide databases for Oregon K12 students and educators; and Citation Maker, a citation generator in MLA and APA formats. The website is a project of the Oregon Association of School Libraries in partnership with the Oregon State Library. You may recall that because of intermittent access issues that could not be resolved, and on the advice of outside experts, last fall we pulled down OSLIS and coordinated efforts to rebuild the site. For about the last nine months, OSLIS Lite was up instead, but it could only provide access to some OSLIS resources, not all of them. After much work and testing, the rebuilt version of OSLIS went live in mid-July. Since going live, the site has been stable and access has been constant. Note that the rebuilt OSLIS is the same as the former fuller site except that it no longer has the My Stuff folder. That was a virtual space to store work related to a current research project, and we did not pay to rebuild the feature because there are now many cloud applications, like Google docs, that serve the same purpose and do even more. If you run into any problems on the rebuilt site, please report them. Use the feedback link found in the header on any OSLIS page, or send an email to Jen Maurer, the School Library Consultant at OSL. Have questions? Please ask. Help Improve the Oregon.gov State Portal [TakeTheSurvey]The State of Oregon is planning to launch a new Oregon.gov portal. One of the first steps is to launch a survey to find out why people visit Oregon.gov, what they're looking for, and how they want to interact with state government. There's a link to the survey at the State of Oregon's website or you can access the survey directly: Take the survey! 2012 Public Library Statistics Collection Now Ongoing The 2012 Public Library Statistical Report is now open.

Return to top of page Other Library News Lake Oswego Reads Program Wins National Award [LOPL]Lake Oswego Reads is an annual community reading program sponsored by the Lake Oswego Public Library with the goal of strengthening civic pride, fostering thoughtful discussion, and bringing the community together through the common bond of reading a selected book. About 30 special events are offered during the month of February to extend readers' experience with and appreciation of the book, which is announced in January. "This year's cumulative attendance reached over 10,000," noted LOPL's Coordinator of Volunteers and Programs, Cyndie Glazer. Lake Oswego Reads, which began in 2007, has expanded every year and has become such an integral part of Lake Oswego culture that it was recognized nationally. Earlier this summer, the program won an Outstanding Achievement Award from the U.S. Conference of Mayors City Livability Award committee. The City Livability program has existed for over 30 years and "honors mayors and their city government for developing programs that enhance the quality of life in urban areas." About the award, Library Director Bill Baars stated, "I am thrilled that our community and our library have received this prestigious national recognition for the Lake Oswego Reads program. I am continually astounded that this seed of an idea has blossomed into this incredible garden of activity." For more information about Lake Oswego Reads, contact Cyndie.

High School? College? In the Military? Not born yet? Doesn't matter. If you were around back then you probably heard way too much of Debby Boone singing "You Light Up My Life," which was number one for 10 weeks. You probably heard K.C. and the Sunshine Band informing you "I'm Your Boogie Man". You also heard Paul Simon lamenting the fact that things in his life were "Slip Slidin' Away". If you remember those songs, you can rediscover 37 more just like 'em this Friday. If you weren't around, here's your chance to broaden and deepen your cultural awareness of the distant past.

But don't panic! Just because you are not a usability expert or do not have a local usability group to call upon does not mean that "use-ability" testing is out of reach. In Don't Make Me Think, Steven Krug notes that "After all, usability really just means...making sure that something works well: that a person of average (or even below average) ability and experience can use the thing - whether it's a Web site, a fighter jet, or a revolving door - for its intended purpose without getting hopelessly frustrated." In this session, we will use case studies to demonstrate why information professionals should consider usability testing. We will share tips and tools used to conduct testing so you can improve your users' experiences regardless of the context in which you work.

LYRASIS Polite Debate Society presents Operating Principals and Standards: Engaging Responsibly With Users in Information Organizations Wednesday September 12th 1:00-2:30 ET Librarians are challenged daily by ongoing ethical quandaries involving service to our users. New and challenging situations also arise daily, stemming from the rapidly changing technology landscape, the changing nature of library use, and our need to help users to the best of our ability. Many librarians had, perhaps, a cursory review of the ALA Code of Ethics during their library school experience, but not until confronted with real-life situations can we truly find a context for applying this code-along with the rule of law-effectively. Join our panel, representing academic, public, and special libraries as they explore some challenging scenarios that will help us all to better understand and apply ethical principles to our daily work.

Register now for continuing education classes on October 13 in Portland, sponsored by the Pacific Northwest Chapter / Medical Library Association. http://pnc-mla.cloverpad.org/continuingeducation2012 Bullet Point 1, Bullet Point 2, Bullet Point 3? the Audience Flees: Visual Communication Skills for Effective Teaching and Presentations 8:00 a.m. - 12 noon Sally Gore Librarians are called upon to tackle a whole host of tasks for which library school left them woefully unprepared. Unless your other studies provided you with a background in education, public speaking, and/or design, you?ve likely found yourself in the awkward situation of having to deliver a class or presentation knowing that you?re not really confident in your abilities or wondering if you could do better. Effective communication involves blending words and visuals, stories and facts, in a way that creates a setting where your audience both gets and remembers the message you share. This workshop will provide an overview of some basics in design and presentation to help you become a better communicator, teacher, and ultimately, LIBRARIAN! Come prepared to be active, to take part, to try new things, to be creative, and to have fun. You?ll leave with the energy and enthusiasm to speak to thousands (or at least 10). Becoming an Expert Searcher for Evidence-Based Content October 13, 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 noon Terry Jankowski How can you build a search to effectively retrieve evidence-based content? What are the database features you can utilize? This class looks at these questions and practices methods used by expert searchers to accomplish these tasks. Learn some advanced search techniques for PubMed and create a plan to apply these skills to other databases. Target audience & prerequisites: librarians or health information professionals who consider themselves to be beginning or intermediate searchers. Basic PubMed searching knowledge and skills required. Some familiarity with MeSH? or another controlled vocabulary is helpful but not required. Optimize Your E-Learning Design and Development: A Hands-On Workshop 1:00 - 5:00 p.m. Jan Buhmann Whether you are new to e-learning design and development or you would just like to explore new options for optimizing development in your medical library, this workshop will feature tips, techniques and examples from some of the most efficient e-learning developers in medical libraries and healthcare. The workshop explores best practices in designing effective, self-paced learning. Come prepared to both learn and practice techniques through hands-on exercises in a computer lab. Electronic Health Records in the Era of Meaningful Use 1:00 - 4:00 p.m. Vishnu Mohan In 2011, the federal government began to pay bonuses to clinicians and hospitals that adopt electronic health records (EHRs). As a consequence, in the last few years EHR implementation rates have increased substantially. and the number of clinicians using EHRs have also risen exponentially. This workshop examines EHR use, particularly in the area of clinical decision support, and the role of librarians in supporting clinicians' information needs. We will look at the impact of Meaningful Use and EHRs on clinical workflows, health care expenditures, privacy and security, and clinician documentation. We will focus on the role of the librarian in the shifting world of health care delivery in an interactive fashion. -- Chris Shaffer, MS, AHIP University Librarian and Associate Professor Oregon Health & Science University Library shafferc at ohsu.edu> 503-367-4693 Skype: chris.shaffer http://www.ohsu.edu/library/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I'm proposing a session about demonstrating the value of the library. What have you done to demonstrate the value of your library to others? Examples might be: * Working with faculty and/or students * Working with other city, county or municipal entities * Partnering with outside agencies * Other wild and crazy ideas??? For example, at Eugene Public Library, we developed Intranet resources and met with city staff to meet three goals: 1) empower city staff to use Library resources, 2) teach staff how to use resources, and 3) promote reaching out to Library staff for research needs. Our efforts have saved the city money which has helped elevate the library's value to the city. (Look for the program at a conference near you if you'd like to hear more!) :) If this is resonating with you and you'd like to present on the topic, please contact me as soon as possible. If the topic involves the use of technology, it would be especially appropriate for Online Northwest. OLA proposal deadline: Sept 28 Online NW proposal deadline: Oct 15 Thanks!

Please see the attached press release from the Oregon Encyclopedia (The OE), an on-line resource of Oregon history and culture. In partnership with McMenamins, The OE continues its History Night series with a look back at the people and events that have shaped our communities. Special guests and historical images are a part of every event. "Oregon Democracy: Asahel Bush, Slavery, and the Statehood Debate? Presented by Barbara Mahoney Monday, October 1, 2012 7:00 p.m. Doors open at 6:00 p.m. McMenamins Mission Theater, 1624 NW Glisan Street, Portland Free and open to the public. As the editor of the pioneer Salem newspaper, the *Oregon Statesman*, and a leader of the Democratic party, Asahel Bush shepherded the Oregon territory to statehood in the midst of the national controversy over slavery that led to the Civil War. As early as 1843, the people of the territory had rejected slavery. Opposed to slavery as unsuitable for Oregon, Bush used the *Statesman* to shape the debate, always portraying the issue as one of economics, not morality. After considerable and bitter argument, the drafters of the future state?s constitution specifically outlawed it. The dispute fractured the Democratic party, ending its decade long dominance of Oregon politics. When the Civil War came, many in Oregon supported the Confederacy. Bush?s influence and his adamant loyalty to the United States led several contemporaries to conclude that he played the key role in keeping Oregon in the Union. See the attached press release for more details.

Also featuring a virtual/local discussion of *fair use* AND *participant-generated content* in the form of lightning talks and a poster session (see descriptions below). *Fair Use as Advocacy Laboratory: Best Practices and the Future of Fair Use * As librarians, we know we are charged with both upholding the intellectual property rights of copyright holders and with staunchly defending and exercising our fair use. Unfortunately, uncertainty around which practices constitute fair use often leaves us apprehensive, over-cautious, or inconsistent. With the release of the Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Academic and Research Libraries in January 2012, librarians gained a valuable new tool in our efforts to understand and use fair use appropriately in our daily practice. We will be joined, virtually, by members of the team that authored the Code who will help us understand its history and purpose. Following this informative session, Rachel Bridgewater will facilitate local discussion about application of the Code and the future of fair use. Rachel Bridgewater likes to talk about copyright. She is a faculty librarian at Portland Community College where she teaches students most of the day either in the classroom or at the reference desk. In addition to her role as reference and instruction librarian, Rachel serves as PCC's Copyright Librarian. Rachel has taught online copyright classes for ACRL and will be leading a class on fair use for Library Juice Academy this November. Rachel is a member of the national faculty for Emporia State University's School of Library and Information Management. *Participant-Generated Content - Lightning Talks & Poster Sessions:* Do you have research, experiences, or insights you would like to share?

The program will include 10 minute presentations from representatives who will present about a successful outreach program or service targeting underserved populations. Examples might include (but are not limited to) homebound services, services to homeless individuals, services to non-native English speakers, services to seniors, or general community outreach. The goal of the program is to share ideas, resources and tools with participants to help them develop their own outreach programs. I do not anticipate the planning to require a big time commitment on the part of presenters so if you have a program idea you would like to share, I hope you will consider this opportunity to present.

You certainly gave me a lot of good ideas and food for thought. After following these leads, our library is probably not going to go the Amazon route (due to the time investment required) and will most likely use Better World Books and Book Prospector. For other libraries interested in reselling discards, I've summarized the feedback I received, and included the full responses below. Thank you again for all of your wonderful ideas! Regards, Lydia Hunter Reference Librarian Albany Public Library 2450 14th Ave. SE Resellers worth checking out: 1. Better World Books 2. Thrift Books 3. ABE 4. Book Prospector 5. Library Consignment 6. Alibris Things to keep in mind with Amazon: - Develop criteria for what to post: (>$15)vs. listing almost everything - Volunteer/Friends staffed vs. staff time - Credit card attached - storage while waiting for a sale - tracking system - Pro subscription after you reach a dollar amount in sales - shipping, weight, promptness Model programs: Hillsboro Library Full Responses: Something to consider is that your library may be governed by a governmental agency that has strict rules about surplus property disposal. If you haven?t already, I would suggest that you refresh your memory of the specifics of the policy to be sure your venture is in accordance. Anyway, just something to consider, which you probably already have. We send all our discards to Better World Books. BWB supplies boxes and pays for the shipping. We receive a check from them quarterly with a portion of the proceeds from the sale of our books. A percentage of the proceeds also goes to a charity the library can select from a list of charities provided by BWB. He have been very happy with BWB. at my previous library in Vermont, I used Thrift Books to sell discards and used books, and had a great, great experience with them -- they are one of the largest resellers of used books on Amazon, and basically do everything for you. Let me know if you want more information. The Friends of Tualatin Library sell through Amazon. They have been doing it for less than a year, and have raised about $4000. They are picky about what they list; they?ve developed some criteria about whether an item is worth listing. Tualatin got started with advice from Hillsboro Library, which has been very successful. They take a different approach, listing almost all of their donations and withdrawn items. Let me know if you?d like more information; I can pass your contact information along to the Friends. Our friends of the library sell donations that are not used in the library (and discards) on amazon but they pick and choose. I think they don't sell anything that will go for less than $15? They have made quite a few dollars this way for the friends of the library. We have some pretty savvy sellers! It takes a lot of time and patience since some books will sit there for quite a while (plus you need to be able to ship books out immediately as needed). I would recommend if you have a volunteer that is willing to handle this, the tricky part is that you need to have a credit card attached to the account typically so needs to be someone who is trustworthy and willing to use their own card/amazon account. You also need a safe long term storage for these books so they don't get moved while waiting for a sale. I think it is worth it for our friends group - not sure if it would be worth the time and energy for a paid staff member. You need someone savvy with amazon so they know how to write up a good and accurate description (most of yours would be listed as ex library copy sounds like). You would also probably want a file of all sold merchandise/listed merchandise so they are held accountable - our friends have sold a couple books for close to or over $100 so you wouldn't want someone to be tempted to just pocket the money... I imagine you'll get good feedback from Oregon libraries, but if you'd like another perspective, I recommend that you get in touch with the folks at Menlo Park Library in Menlo Park, CA. They have a really impressive system for selling on Amazon, run by the Friends. (I volunteered with them briefly in 2010 before relocating to Portland.) http://www.menloparklibrary.org/ http://www.menloparklibrary.org/Friends.html http://www.friendsmpl.org/ http://www.amazon.com/gp/shops/storefront/index.html?ie=UTF8&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER&sellerID=A9AAVOWRTCU25 We use ABE to sell our books. It?s been a really successful relationship. There?s a bit of a learning curve for the software, and you need to only have people who really know what they?re doing put the books online, but otherwise it?s easy. You don?t have to deal the financial transaction issues unless a customer wants a refund, which rarely happens if the person(s) entering the books in the system do it right. We use Better World Books. They pay for shipping and we get to designate which non-profit gets part of the proceeds. Their web site is betterworldbooks.com and our rep is Erin Gerber [ egerber at betterworldbooks.com] We have been selling on Amazon for a number of years. It is easy to set up and run. We now have around 2,000 books on the site and net about $1,000/month When you reach a certain sales volume, it?s helpful to get a Pro Subscription because some of the fees are waived. Library discards, especially non-fiction can have a surprising amount of value remaining. Books that may not have appeal in your community can be sought after items in other communities. We use stamps.com to generate mailing labels and avoid standing in line at the Post Office. One caution is to be careful about the weight of books you sell. Amazon gives you $3.99 for shipping, but some heavy books or sets cost a lot more to mail. Selling on Amazon requires regular attention. When orders come in you need to ship within 3 days. We have a several volunteers who help and 1 part time staff member who oversees it. We learned a lot from Hillsboro. Their volunteer Barbara Wright, set up an amazing operation. If you have space to store books and volunteers willing to help, I would recommend selling on Amazon. We have been selling our discards and un-needed donations on ABEbooks.com for the past eight or nine years. It is also where we go to replace lost books or find rare out of print books for our own library. We have listed approximately 20,000 with great success. Check them out. We previously sold our more expensive books on Amazon, Alibris, and AbeBooks, and sold the less expensive books in-house. We discontinued the process due to limited staffing, moving to selling all books in our in-house booksale. We utilized an arrangement with Woody's Books; for a percentage of our sales, they provided software, user support, and customer relations. Woody was great; we just decided they internet sales didn't work for us. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Protect Americans' privacy and constitutional rights. Do not extend the FAA sunset until December 31, 2017. ALA asks library supporters to ask the House to oppose this latest attempt to reauthorize the FAA. Unexpectedly, a quick vote on H.R. 5949, is scheduled for this Thursday, September 13th. *BACKGROUND:* It's *d?j? vu* all over again: *Watch what you say and do on your phones, emails and other communications because, once again, the House of Representatives appears ready to reauthorize the 2008 FAA law that legalized the Bush administration's warrantless wiretapping program and more.* The American public, including our library patrons, will continue to be exposed to needless surveillance under this reauthorization. The FISA Amendments Act Reauthorization Act of 2012, H.R. 5949, (yes, this is the correct name of the bill and the law) would extend the provisions of the 2008 FAA to December 31, 2017, rather than letting the FISA sunset on December 31, 2012. The government is allowed to get 12-month orders from the secret FISA court to conduct "dragnet surveillance of Americans' international communications--including phone calls, emails, and internet records--for the purpose of collecting foreign intelligence." ***** As we did in 2008, the American Library Association (ALA) continues to argue against the FISA Amendments Act because of the FAA's lack of transparency and the potential for abuse of the system that has been created. Rep. Jared Polis (D-CO) is taking leadership in the House to oppose H.R. 5949 and to bring some rationality to the necessary balance between our constitutional rights and the needs of law enforcement. *Urge representatives to follow Polis' lead and to vote against or amend H.R. 5949.* If passed, the bill, at the very least, should be amended to include: - Requirements that the government disclose more about the extent and the nature of the surveillance that has been conducted under the FAA; - Requirements for reporting about the number of U.S. citizens and individuals affected; - Amendments that prevent mass surveillance and prohibit use of collected information for any other government uses beyond national surveillance. The current FAA law authorizes the government to conduct surveillance in the United States on people that are reasonably considered to be "non-U.S. persons". That also means the government can monitor communications between U.S. citizens and these non-U.S. persons. This process is approved without any meaningful judicial authorization and without probable cause. The FISA Court only evaluates if the procedures used to conduct the surveillance are designed to target those people that are reasonably believed to be outside of the country. Information is now coming out from the government about the impact on U.S. persons under this law. Use our legislative action centerto send messages to House members opposing H.R. 5949, the FISA Amendments Act (FAA) Reauthorization Act of 2012 or call your congressional representative now! ------------------------------ *** From the ACLU Washington Legislative Office web site where additional details are available: ACLU's Washington Markup . -- *Diedre Conkling** Lincoln County Library District P.O.

Shortly thereafter we launched the beginnings of a new site for ILS information and called for nominations to three new teams: Shared ILS Implementation, Collaborative Technical Services, and Assessment. During August and early September, we have been hard at work on three fronts Contract negotiation Chris Shaffer (OHSU), Deb Dancik (Willamette Univ), Bill Jordan (UW), and I have had several conference calls and exchanged draft contracts with Ex Libris. This work is going quite well but, as you can imagine, there's much to arriving at a final contract. My sense is that we'll be able to sign a contract in October. Nominations to Shared ILS Implementation, Collaborative Technical Services, and Assessment Teams We received an astounding 167 nominations to these three groups! The Board is meeting this week to make appointments. Once appointments are confirmed, we'll be sure to let you know the makeup of these groups. Cohorts Alliance members were asked to rank their preferences among implementation cohorts (about 10 members per cohort): Cohort 1: live on July 1, 2013 Cohort 2: live on January 1, 2014 Cohort 3: live on July 1, 2014 Cohort 4: live on January 1, 2015 The Board is meeting this week to consider cohort composition and will be in touch with members very soon thereafter. Finally, I am very happy to say that Lynn Chmelir starts in her new position as Shared ILS Implementation Manager on Monday September 17. Contact info for Lynn and all Alliance staff can be found here . Clearly this is a big project that will require an exceptional level of communication and involvement. Lynn, the Implementation Team, and I will make sure you know what's going on and we hope you will also provide feedback, suggestions, etc. Finally, for those going to NWILL tomorrow, I am on the agenda with a Shared ILS update ... hope to see many of you there! Best wishes. -- _________________________________ John F.

To Cut or Not to Cut: Censorship in Literature Tuesday, October 2, 7 pm Tualatin Public Library Community Room Recent efforts to remove the "n" word in literature-from the new edition of Mark Twain's Huck Finn in which the word is changed to "slave" to the attempt to halt a high school production of August Wilson's Joe Turner's Come and Gone because of what some considered offensive language-raise questions about censorship. Is censorship ever a good thing? Should accommodations be made considering the difference between a character's and author's point of view?

ALA President Maureen Sullivan issued the following statement: "When Hachette announced it was stepping back into the library e-book market this past May with pilots that would bring a selection of its recent best-sellers to millions of library patrons, the ALA welcomed this news. Leaving our meeting with them, we were pleased that they recognized libraries as strong partners--as direct customers and marketers of their titles, as well as integral community institutions that must be supported as a fundamental cornerstone of literacy. "After these tentative steps forward, we were stunned to learn that Hachette plans to more than triple its prices for e-book sales to libraries starting October 1. Now we must ask, 'With friends like these...?' "We are weary of faltering half steps and even more so of publishers that refuse to sell e-book titles to libraries at all. Today I have asked the ALA's Digital Content & Libraries Working Group to develop more aggressive strategies and approaches for the nation's library community to meet these challenges. "Libraries must have the ability to purchase a wide range of digital content at a fair price so that all readers have full access to our world's creative and cultural resources, especially the many millions who depend on libraries as their only source of reading material." ### -- *Diedre Conkling** Lincoln County Library District P.O.

But don't panic! Just because you are not a usability expert or do not have a local usability group to call upon does not mean that "use-ability" testing is out of reach. In Don't Make Me Think, Steven Krug notes that "After all, usability really just means...making sure that something works well: that a person of average (or even below average) ability and experience can use the thing - whether it's a Web site, a fighter jet, or a revolving door - for its intended purpose without getting hopelessly frustrated." In this session, we will use case studies to demonstrate why information professionals should consider usability testing. We will share tips and tools used to conduct testing so you can improve your users' experiences regardless of the context in which you work.

Shelly?s transcript is online at http://www.oregonlibraries.net/notable Emily-Jane Dawson at Multnomah County Library brought this transcript to the Quality Team?s attention. She wrote to us: Last week during one of my Ask the Librarian shifts, I picked up an L-net question that Shelly had forwarded from chat. It was a difficult question from a patron who was seeking a newspaper photograph of her husband taken during his childhood. Shelly's reference interview was excellent, as were her explanations to the patron about how newspaper archives work and about library policy regarding access to the Oregonian Historical. Shelly wrote in completely patron-friendly non-technical terms, she did some searching for the patron while they were in chat, and when that was unsuccessful she very gracefully offered to have another library staff person follow up. Throughout the entire interaction, Shelly was warm, knowledgeable, and provided the exact same feeling of calm and helpful competence that I have seen her display in face-to-face interactions with patrons. When I picked up the question, I had everything I needed to follow up -- and though I didn't find the photograph the patron asked about, I was able to do a reasonably thorough search and provide the patron with a little more information and some options about what they might do next. It was a pleasure to follow Shelly's on this question, and I felt very supported by her initial work with the patron. When the Quality Team reviewed Shelly?s transcript, we found that we couldn?t agree more with Emily-Jane?s comments. We extend our gratitude to Emily-Jane for alerting us to this excellent transcript. All L-net staffers are welcome to nominate transcripts that exemplify high quality digital reference service; please send nominations to any member of the Quality Team. As an expression of our appreciation, Shelly was presented with flowers and a certificate at a weekly team meeting. Please join us in congratulating her! The L-net Quality Team Stephanie Debner, Mt.

The document seeks to provide a broad overview of libraries and digital literacy and discusses the current policy context, including digital inclusion, education and lifelong learning, and workforce development. The Task Force(pdf) is made up of literacy experts from school, public, and higher-education libraries and represents a wide range of ALA units. The Task Force addresses issues and questions related to digital literacy and national policy conversations. The report will serve as a launching point for the development of a set of recommendations to the Association and the broader library community to continue and expand libraries' engagement and leadership to effect meaningful and sustainable change in our communities. The Task Force will develop these recommendations as a companion piece to this report. The public comment period is open from *September 18, 2012 - October 19, 2012*. Commenters are asked to focus their feedback on substantive issues and the task force specifically asks representatives of each library type to consider how their library is portrayed.

Libraries help community members access all types of digital content - from online job ads to the latest YouTube video meme. In addition to helping people access digital content, many libraries are also helping community members create digital content. When a library makes video and/or audio recording and editing equipment and software available, they are providing community members with an opportunity to gain new skills and to have a voice in the online world. On Tuesday, September 25th, we'll have the opportunity to learn about a successful library digital content project from Donna Feddern, Digital Services Manager, Escondido Public Library. Through their LibraryYOU project, they are collecting and sharing local knowledge through videos and podcasts. This webinar is the second in a series of webinars exploring the Edge Initiative Benchmarks. This webinar is based on the Benchmark 2. Please contact webinars at techsoupglobal.org with accessibility requests 72 hours before the event.

Please consider participating so this doesn't become a case of Western Oregon libraries calling the shots. We want these Standards to work for your libraries too! Please see the attached letter for more information. We are hoping to make committee selections on Friday since the first meeting is on October 4. *Send your letter of interest as soon as possible so we can include you.* *If you know someone you think would be a good committee member, you have my permission to hound them.* *Thank you for your help!* ~Su -- Su Liudahl, PLD Chair Library Director Creswell Library / Lane Library District 64 West Oregon Avenue PO Box 366 Creswell, Oregon 97426 (541) 895-3053 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The link as well as the text are pasted below. In addition, Maureen will be speaking to publishers at an AAP meeting in NYC on Thursday; and ALA leadership including Maureen, Barbara Stripling (President-elect), Robert Wolven (DC&LWG co-chair), Alan Inouye (OITP Director), and I will be meeting with several publishers in NYC at the end of this week. http://www.ala.org/news/pr?id=11508 ALA Press Release NEWS For Immediate Release September 24, 2012 Contact: Jazzy Wright An open letter to America's publishers from ALA President Maureen Sullivan CHICAGO -- The following open letter was released by American Library Association (ALA) President Maureen Sullivan regarding Simon & Schuster, Macmillan, and Penguin refusal to provide access to their e-books in U.S.libraries. The open letter states: It's a rare thing in a free market when a customer is refused the ability to buy a company's product and is told its money is "no good here." Surprisingly, after centuries of enthusiastically supporting publishers' products, libraries find themselves in just that position with purchasing e-books from three of the largest publishers in the world. Simon &Schuster, Macmillan, and Penguin have been denying access to their e-books for our nation's 112,000 libraries and roughly 169 million public library users. Let's be clear on what this means: If our libraries' digital bookshelves mirrored the *New York Times* fiction best-seller list, we would be missing *half* of our collection any given week due to these publishers' policies. The popular "Bared to You" and "The Glass Castle" are not available in libraries because libraries cannot purchase them at any price. Today's teens also will not find the digital copy of Judy Blume's seminal "Forever*, *" nor today's blockbuster "Hunger Games" series. Not all publishers are following the path of these three publishers. In fact, hundreds of publishers of e-books have embraced the opportunity to create new sales and reach readers through our nation's libraries. One recent innovation allows library patrons to immediately purchase an e-book if the library doesn't have a copy or if there is a wait list they would like to avoid. This offers a win-win relationship for both publishers and library users since recent research from the Pew Internet Project tells us that library users are more than twice as likely to have bought their most recent book as to have borrowed it from a library. Libraries around the country are developing mobile applications and online discovery systems that make it easier to explore books and authors on the go. Seventy-six percent of public libraries now offer e-books -- double the number from only five years ago -- and 39 percent of libraries have purchased and circulate e-readers. Public libraries alone spend more than $1.3 billion annually on their collections of print, audio, video, and electronic materials. They are investing not only in access to content and devices, but also in teaching the skills needed to navigate and utilize digital content successfully. Librarians understand that publishing is not just another industry. It has special and important significance to society. Libraries complement and, in fact, actively support this industry by supporting literacy and seeking to spread an infectious and lifelong love of reading and learning. Library lending encourages patrons to experiment by sampling new authors, topics and genres. This experimentation stimulates the market for books, with the library serving as a de facto discovery, promotion and awareness service for authors and publishers. Publishers, libraries and other entities have worked together for centuries to sustain a healthy reading ecosystem -- celebrating our society's access to the complete marketplace of ideas. Given the obvious value of libraries to publishers, it simply does not add up that any publisher would continue to lock out libraries. It doesn't add up for me, it doesn't add up for ALA's 60,000 members, and it *definitely* doesn't add up for the millions of people who use our libraries every month. America's libraries have always served as the "people's university" by providing access to reading materials and educational opportunity for the millions who want to read and learn but cannot afford to buy the books they need. Librarians have a particular concern for vulnerable populations that may not have any other access to books and electronic content, including individuals and families who are homebound or low-income. To deny these library users access to e-books that are available to others -- and which libraries are eager to purchase on their behalf -- is discriminatory. We have met and talked sincerely with many of these publishers. We have sought common ground by exploring new business models and library lending practices. But these conversations only matter if they are followed by action: Simon & Schuster must sell to libraries. Macmillan must implement its proposed pilot. Penguin must accelerate and expand its pilots beyond two urban New York libraries. We librarians cannot stand by and do nothing while some publishers deepen the digital divide. We cannot wait passively while some publishers deny access to our cultural record. We must speak out on behalf of today's -- and tomorrow's -- readers.The library community demands meaningful change and creative solutions that serve libraries and our readers who rightfully expect the same access to e-books as they have to printed books. So, which side will you be on? Will you join us in a future of liberating literature for all? Libraries stand with readers, thinkers, writers, dreamers and inventors. Books and knowledge -- in all their forms -- are essential. Access to them must not be denied. -30- Best, Molly *Molly Raphael* *Immediate Past President* *American Library Association* *http://www.ala.org* *mraphael at rapgroup.com* *503-548-7747* * * -- *Diedre Conkling** Lincoln County Library District P.O.

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...

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. Evanced Summer Reader webinar October 3, 2012 2:00pm-3:00pm This webinar will give libraries across Oregon the opportunity to get a general overview of a whole suite of products to help keep their libraries at the center of their communities. Used by thousands of libraries, the Summer Reader, Events and Room Reserve software ensure your patrons know what's happening and are able to sign up for reading programs, events, and even request rooms online or via a mobile device. Learn about the new products just coming into the market: Peek-a-Book Total Access provides high-end video teasers of the best of children's literature, and MarkIt is a book sale management system to truly make your book sales a solid revenue stream. This one-hour demo will touch on all these products, and give you a taste of the possibilities in your libraries. I will email out the URL and login instructions closer to the date of the webinar.

If we're not proactively forging novel paths that change the game, someone else will-and then we'll be forced to adapt to their new rules. Many leaders are not formally prepared with the fortitude required to lead through the deep uncertainty that characterizes periods of disruptive change. Join us to discover how leaders often ignore the very thing that could lead them to game changers-the power of surprise.

Trustees are recruited for their stature, skills or connections, and then are not fully engaged. Why do nonprofits so broadly fail to use their boards wisely? And how might they do better? We will look at four interrelated areas: membership (including recruitment, development, self-assessment), process (including structure, meetings), capacity, and fiduciary issues.

This presentation will look at factors leading to funding decisions about public libraries, with a specific focus on the role of interpersonal influence. While the tools and techniques we've been using in funding requests have become more sophisticated in recent years, new research shows they may be ineffective without the addition of the tactics of influence.

The Barrow Media Center is a site of participatory culture through elements such as student book budgets, collaborative projects that culminate in student product creation, opportunities for students to showcase their creations to others in a variety of ways, and students taking leadership in teaching one another how to use technology to create. This year, developing the participatory culture of the library is a specific goal that has been made public to all students, teachers, and families in the school and all members of the library have been invited to find their place in the library and make things happen. This webinar will explore participatory culture and how the library can be a space of participation.

During that same time period, 4-year nonprofit institutions increased overall by 4 percent. However, for-profit institutions reported no increase. This First Look report presents findings from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) fall 2011 data collection, which included three survey components: institutional characteristics for 2011-12 -- such as degrees offered, type of program, application information, and tuition and other costs; the number and type of degrees conferred from July 2010 through June 2011; and 12-month enrollment data for the 2010-11 academic year. Other findings include: * In 2011-12, of the 7,398 Title IV institutions in the United States and other jurisdictions, 3,053 were classified as 4-year institutions, 2,332 were 2-year institutions, and the remaining 2,013 were less-than-2-year institutions. * Institutions reported a 12-month unduplicated headcount enrollment totaling about 29.5 million individual students. Of these, roughly 25.6 million were undergraduates and approximately 3.9 million were graduate students. * Of the roughly 3.6 million degrees institutions reported conferring, about 2.9 million were awarded by 4-year institutions and approximately 650,000 were awarded by 2-year institutions.

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. Evanced Summer Reader webinar October 3, 2012 2:00pm-3:00pm This webinar will give libraries across Oregon the opportunity to get a general overview of a whole suite of products to help keep their libraries at the center of their communities. Used by thousands of libraries, the Summer Reader, Events and Room Reserve software ensure your patrons know what's happening and are able to sign up for reading programs, events, and even request rooms online or via a mobile device. Learn about the new products just coming into the market: Peek-a-Book Total Access provides high-end video teasers of the best of children's literature, and MarkIt is a book sale management system to truly make your book sales a solid revenue stream. This one-hour demo will touch on all these products, and give you a taste of the possibilities in your libraries. I will email out the URL and login instructions closer to the date of the webinar.

The Collaborative Summer Library Program's (CSLP) Executive Board is asking for your help. They would like to get feedback on Upstart/Highsmith catalog items directly from staff at CSLP member libraries nationwide. Please take their survey to tell them directly what catalog items are working or not working for you, and what your needs are for incentives, books, and customization. Here is a link to their survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/CSLP_Incentive. The deadline to respond is Friday, October 19. Please note that this survey is different from the summer reading feedback survey Abbie Anderson, the OYAN Summer Reading Chair, will be sending out in a few weeks. Abbie's survey will give you the opportunity to provide feedback on the summer reading manuals, Oregon summer reading certificates, and Oregon summer reading sweepstakes and will be your opportunity to suggest upcoming summer reading themes, slogans, and artists. This survey is administered by CSLP directly and is only about Upstart/Highsmith catalog items. Sorry for any confusion and for bombarding you with surveys. We just learned CSLP was sending out their own survey on catalog items yesterday. Thanks, Katie Katie Anderson, Library Development Services * Youth Services Consultant * Oregon Center for the Book Coordinator * Oregon State Library, 250 Winter St. NE, Salem, OR 97301 katie.anderson at state.or.us, 503-378-2528 _____________________________________________________ All Oregon public, volunteer, and tribal libraries are members of the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP), and receive a free summer reading manual. To get the most out of your membership, create an account on the CSLP website (http://www.cslpreads.org/) and you will be able to access additional summer reading resources. CSLP membership dues and manual fees are paid for by the State Library with LSTA funds. Summer reading manuals are distributed by OLA's Children's Services Division, and both CSD and OYAN members represent you on CSLP committees and at the CSLP annual meeting.

I have been waiting for the Special Districts Association of Oregon (SDAO) to post the on-line training that they are working on for us. Fortunately we do have a few more months before January 1, 2013, when the legislation kicks in. The conclusion reached in most of the discussions I have been in about this bill is that since libraries provide services for children ALL library staff become reporters and all library staff need to have training. Yes, this means the bookkeeper, janitor, etc. and not just the front line staff. I personally think it is best to take this approach since our staff members could be sued, as individuals, for not reporting something simply because they work in a library that provides services to children. The reporting requirement is 24 hours a day and not just while at work. I don't want our staff to have to face working out whether or not our intrepretation, or our city attorney's interpretation, of the law is correct in a courtroom since they can be sued as individuals. Error on the side of overtraining in this case, I think. I also think that the view leading up to this legislation is that everyone should be required to report. I think it is over zealous and could lead to a lot of bad reporting but the Legislature is not likely to modify this law. They are more likely to add to it. Here are some pieces that Perry Stokes found: *Abuse and Neglect***** http://www.oregon.gov/DHS/abuse/main.shtml** *See training video (25 min)* * * *Questions and answers about reporting abuse and neglect***** http://www.oregon.gov/DHS/children/abuse/cps/report.shtml**** ** ** *HB 4016* http://www.leg.state.or.us/12reg/measpdf/hb4000.dir/hb4016.intro.pdf Here is the abbreviated explanation of the bill that is in the SDAO 2012 Legislative Session Final Report,( http://www.leg.state.or.us/12reg/measures/hb4000.dir/hb4016.en.html): -- HB 4016 -- NEW MANDATORY REPORTERS OF CHILD ABUSE Oregon law requires workers in certain professions to make reports if they have reasonable cause to suspect abuse or neglect of a child. These people are called mandatory reporters. Mandatory reporters must report suspected abuse or neglect of a child regardless of whether or not the knowledge of the abuse was gained in the reporter's official capacity. ORS 19B.005 (3) - (4) identifies all professions that are mandatory reporters. Such professions include medical personnel; school and child care personnel; certain public employees including members of the Legislative Assembly; law enforcement personnel; and other professions suchas licensed clinical social workers, attorneys, firefighters, and court appointed special advocates. HB 4016 adds to the list of public and private officials required to report child abuse including employees of higher education institutions and public or private organizations providing childrelated services or activities to youth groups or centers, scout groups or camps, summer or day camps, survival camps or groups, centers or camps that are operated under the guidance, supervision or auspices of religious, public or private educational system or community service organizations; and coach, assistant coach or trainer of amateur, semiprofessional or professional athlete, if compensated and if the athlete is a child. The bill allows alternate designated persons to receive a report of suspected abuse if the designee is the abuser. Finally, the bill clarifies that the duty to report rests with the individual, not the organization for which he or she works.

A summary of her remarks are below and attached as a PDF file for your convenience. Cheers, Bobbi Newman Councilor-at-Large OITP Advisory Committee Librarian by Day twitter | Facebook | LinkedIn Summary of Remarks**** Maureen Sullivan, President, American Library Association**** *"Libraries & Publishers Strengthening the E-Reading Ecosystem"* ** ** Meeting at the Association of American Publishers, New York **** September 27, 2012**** ** ** *We must build on the long-standing, successful partnership between publishers and libraries*.**** Through our common goal of bringing authors and readers together, publishers and libraries have worked with each other for many decades. In varied ways, libraries serve as marketers of books in all their forms. For example, libraries promote the discoverability of works by recommending titles, hosting author talks, displaying titles in library buildings and on library websites, and hosting book clubs.**** ** ** Libraries also contribute to the publishing ecosystem by teaching and encouraging literacy (including digital literacy), reading, and lifelong learning. Libraries and the American Library Association (ALA) also use the bully pulpit to help communicate the importance of literacy and reading in society.**** ** ** ** ** *E-book strategy: We must focus more on the future*.**** Advances in technology have enabled new forms of digital connection, such as social networking and mobile apps. New services, new delivery mechanisms, and new companies abound. How can publishers and libraries leverage technological advances to develop services that will best meet the future needs of our communities? How can publishers and libraries work together in this essential quest? No one has all the answers, but ALA now is considering all aspects of these questions. This is a key priority and a matter of urgency for ALA, our 60,000 members, and the communities we serve. **** ** ** ** ** *We must address immediate needs. Libraries serve people now, and e-book growth is explosive*.**** The number of libraries that offer e-books has doubled over the past five years, and libraries report double- and triple-digit growth in circulation of these e-titles. ALA acknowledges that hundreds of publishers do make e-books available to libraries in a landscape that is evolving rapidly. We very much appreciate those publishers that sell e-books to libraries at reasonable prices and terms. **** ** ** ** ** The policy of some publishers to prohibit e-book sales to libraries is unacceptable. ALA soon will undertake heightened advocacy efforts to persuade these publishers that selling to libraries is in their--and everyone's--best interest. Publishers engaged in active proposals or pilots will be encouraged to accelerate these preliminary steps. **** **** On balance, libraries tend to see current e-books as providing less functionality and value than print books. While some features may be superior, there are considerable disadvantages in terms of constrained basic access, the rights to make accommodation for people with disabilities, patron privacy, ability to integrate e-books into other library resources, and the rights to ensure long-term archiving and preservation. As a result, increased prices do not make sense. Libraries certainly agree to pay reasonable prices and to adhere to the contracts that we sign. We *want* publishers to remain in business; we *want* to continue to be their customers! ALA, however, doesn't accept the proposition that an e-book price that is a multiple of the print price is justifiable or fair.**** ** ** ** ** *ALA urges strategic action*.**** There is tremendous strategic opportunity. The advances in technology should enable many more possibilities for publishers and libraries than we recognize today. If publishers and libraries don't figure it out, some other entity will. Librarians nationwide are increasingly impatient and dissatisfied with the status quo, and the ALA will take more aggressive steps to address these pressing concerns. We want to work with publishers. How can ALA and libraries work with publishers and better support efforts to create a better future for our readers? -- *Diedre Conkling** Lincoln County Library District P.O.

Chicago: ALA, 2013. 025.527665 Ross ISBN 978-0-8389-1084-9 In times of recession, the library is more critical than ever for those who want to start a business and need to do research, and academic and public libraries are at the heart of a growing need to research business questions. An accidental business reference librarian by trade, Ross explains how to provide quality reference help on issues from marketing to finance--for business people, students, and even business faculty. Honing in on fundamentals, this practical guide * Explains how to conduct the reference interview, with tips for helping clients help themselves * Identifies important business resources, both free and fee-based * Offers chapters devoted to industry and market information; small-business needs; international business research; investing and the stock market; and marketing and demographics A detailed bibliography functions as both a standing reference for desk use as well as a collection development aid for building a core business collection. Including numerous illustrative case studies, Making Sense of Business Reference takes the guesswork out of doing business. [book2.jpg]Jones, Kyle M.L. and Polly-Alida Farrington. Learning From Libraries That Use WordPress: Content Management System Best Practices and Case Studies. Chicago: ALA, 2013. 025.0422 Jones ISBN 978-0-8389-1162-4 Jones and Farrington, two web designer/librarians, explore the variety of ways libraries are implementing WordPress as a Content Management System (CMS), from simple "out-of-the-box" websites to large sites with many custom features. Emphasizing a library-specific perspective, the authors: * Offer a brief history of WordPress, reviewing its genesis and sketching in some possible future directions * Analyze the software's strengths and weaknesses, spotlighting its advantages over other existing web publishing platforms as well as discussing the limitations libraries have encountered * Present a variety of case studies, offering first-hand examples which detail why WordPress was selected, methods of implementation and degree of customization, feedback from users, and reflections on usability * Discuss essential plug-ins, themes, and other specialized applications for library sites This useful book shows how scores of libraries have used WordPress to create library websites that are both user friendly and easy to maintain.

Now the key information and resources on mandatory reporting that has been shared thus far is in this one email for you. From: r2r-or-bounces at listsmart.osl.state.or.us [mailto:r2r-or-bounces at listsmart.osl.state.or.us] On Behalf Of Katie Anderson Sent: Thursday, July 19, 2012 4:11 PM To: r2r-or at listsmart.osl.state.or.us Cc: Susan Westin; MaryKay Dahlgreen Subject: [R2R-OR] Mandatory Reporting: Guidance for Libraries Importance: High Dear Library Directors and Youth Services staff, The passage of HB 4016 has expanded the definition of mandatory reporters to include all "Employee[s] or volunteer[s] of a public or private organization providing child-related services or activities that allow the employee[s] or volunteer[s] temporary care, control or supervision of a child..." The State Library recommends that all public libraries seek advice from their legal counsel regarding the newly amended Oregon State Statutes 338.115, 339.370, 339.372, 339.374, 339.378, 339.388, 339.392, 339.400 and 419B.005. Depending on the advice from your legal counsel, your library may consider creating a policy, procedure, or training requirement around mandatory reporting. If your library is already working on something along these lines, please consider helping other libraries by sharing what you're doing via this listserv. A couple libraries have asked the State Library for assistance identifying mandatory reporter training opportunities in order to comply with the law as advised by their legal counsel. I have worked with a Child Welfare Analyst at the Oregon Department of Human Services (DHS) to develop a short, but valuable list of resources libraries may use to educate themselves around mandatory reporting: * *Watch this 25 minute mandatory reporting video, * *Read this mandatory reporting guide, and/or * Contact your local DHS Children, Adults, and Families Division to inquire about face-to-face mandatory reporting training. *The video and guide are a little out-of-date, but still provide reliable content. Please keep in mind that they will not define mandatory reporters as broadly as the new language. If you have questions about mandatory reporting, first ask your local DHS Children, Adults, and Families Division. If they are not able to assist you, then contact the state DHS office by calling 503-945-6116.

I have been waiting for the Special Districts Association of Oregon (SDAO) to post the on-line training that they are working on for us. Fortunately we do have a few more months before January 1, 2013, when the legislation kicks in. The conclusion reached in most of the discussions I have been in about this bill is that since libraries provide services for children ALL library staff become reporters and all library staff need to have training. Yes, this means the bookkeeper, janitor, etc. and not just the front line staff. I personally think it is best to take this approach since our staff members could be sued, as individuals, for not reporting something simply because they work in a library that provides services to children. The reporting requirement is 24 hours a day and not just while at work. I don't want our staff to have to face working out whether or not our intrepretation, or our city attorney's interpretation, of the law is correct in a courtroom since they can be sued as individuals. Error on the side of overtraining in this case, I think. I also think that the view leading up to this legislation is that everyone should be required to report. I think it is over zealous and could lead to a lot of bad reporting but the Legislature is not likely to modify this law. They are more likely to add to it. Here are some pieces that Perry Stokes found: Abuse and Neglect http://www.oregon.gov/DHS/abuse/main.shtml See training video (25 min) Questions and answers about reporting abuse and neglect http://www.oregon.gov/DHS/children/abuse/cps/report.shtml HB 4016 http://www.leg.state.or.us/12reg/measpdf/hb4000.dir/hb4016.intro.pdf Here is the abbreviated explanation of the bill that is in the SDAO 2012 Legislative Session Final Report,(http://www.leg.state.or.us/12reg/measures/hb4000.dir/hb4016.en.html): -- HB 4016 - NEW MANDATORY REPORTERS OF CHILD ABUSE Oregon law requires workers in certain professions to make reports if they have reasonable cause to suspect abuse or neglect of a child. These people are called mandatory reporters. Mandatory reporters must report suspected abuse or neglect of a child regardless of whether or not the knowledge of the abuse was gained in the reporter's official capacity. ORS 19B.005 (3) - (4) identifies all professions that are mandatory reporters. Such professions include medical personnel; school and child care personnel; certain public employees including members of the Legislative Assembly; law enforcement personnel; and other professions suchas licensed clinical social workers, attorneys, firefighters, and court appointed special advocates. HB 4016 adds to the list of public and private officials required to report child abuse including employees of higher education institutions and public or private organizations providing childrelated services or activities to youth groups or centers, scout groups or camps, summer or day camps, survival camps or groups, centers or camps that are operated under the guidance, supervision or auspices of religious, public or private educational system or community service organizations; and coach, assistant coach or trainer of amateur, semiprofessional or professional athlete, if compensated and if the athlete is a child. The bill allows alternate designated persons to receive a report of suspected abuse if the designee is the abuser. Finally, the bill clarifies that the duty to report rests with the individual, not the organization for which he or she works. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This protection is commonly extended to infants, children, the elderly or dependent, those with disabilities and residents of nursing homes, health care facilities, etc. While the State of Oregon, via the Department of Human Services (DHS), has eliminated much of the individual's responsibility for this protection, they ask everyone to report any situation where there is suspected abuse or neglect. In addition to the request outlined above, many professions are required to report when they have reasonable cause to suspect abuse or neglect. The list of mandatory reporters includes but is not limited to *all public employees*, most medical personnel, emergency medical technicians, school and child care personnel - including teachers, law enforcement, attorneys, firefighters, child and foster care providers. There are both criminal and civil penalties for failure to report suspected abuse and/or neglect. And liability coverage may not extend to these penalties. Therefore, SDAO recommends that all members train their employees in the importance of immediately reporting any suspected abuse or neglect. To report suspected abuse or neglect: - If someone is being hurt or is in immediate danger, call 911. - If there is no immediate danger, contact the local Child Welfare office in your area.

I'll chime in with a related question for higher-ed folks: how does this interact with FERPA? I assume that any reported situation would have a paper trail to go with it; would these be educational records for FERPA purposes? And an unrelated question/comment - I'm assuming this law now covers most or all statutory rape situations. In the extreme form, this would mean that any time we hear any unmarried under-18 students talking about their sex lives we need to report - yes? Or am I moving too far away from the intent of this law?

We also provide details on what non-profit staff, boards and volunteers are allowed to do under existing rules. Now is the time to capture the increased interest in the political process to promote civic participation and enhance your library's presence. http://networkedblogs.com/CLwNY -- *Diedre Conkling** Lincoln County Library District P.O.

The scholarship covers their registration, room, and board at Menucha. Jaki is an Emporia student and first-time Menucha attendee. She writes: "Since I know I'm going to be a reference/instruction librarian I feel very strongly about becoming active within the ACRL community." Jaki plans to share her conference takeaways with coworkers and classmates via social media. Johanna is a recent graduate of the joint Library and Information Science and Center for the Book Program at The University of Iowa. She writes that while in library school, "I regularly consulted with librarians to help them use technologies such as wikis, blogs, or reference management software. I also ran trainings for students and librarians to teach them how to use different technologies." We are pleased to welcome her to the Northwest. Please join us in congratulating Jaki and Johanna!

We are considering it for our patrons, but would like to hear about it from libraries that have it. How often does it tend to be used? What are the benefits to the Library? What are the challenges? Is there anything else you think we should know about it?
