Return to top of page State Library News 2013 Spring Lecture Series Continues [CampF7]The Oregon State Library is pleased to announce the third lecture in our 2013 Spring Lecture Series. On Wednesday, April 24, in Room 103 from 12:00-1:00, Rick McClure will present Goodbye Windy City: Chicago CCC Companies in the Northwest, 1933. Mobilization of a national Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) swiftly followed New Deal legislation during President Franklin Roosevelt's first one hundred days in office. Slow recruitment in the Pacific Northwest led to initial deployments of enrollees largely recruited from Chicago. CCC companies that organized and trained at Fort Sheridan, Illinois were among the first to establish work camps on the national forests within the Vancouver District in Washington and Oregon. Significantly, many of these Chicago area companies included African-American enrollees. By 1934, the Illinois companies were replaced by those of local origin, and political pressure at the national level was forcing racial segregation within the ranks of the CCC. McClure will discuss the formative challenges faced by the newly created agency, one that would put over a million and a half men to work during the remaining years of the Great Depression. Rick McClure currently serves as the Heritage and Tribal Programs Manager for the Gifford Pinchot National Forest in Washington. Trained as an archaeologist, he earned an MA degree in Anthropology from Washington State University in 1984, and has worked for the Forest Service for 32 years. Please join us in April as our Spring Lecture Series continues. The Oregon State Library Celebrates National Poetry Month [LeGuin]Inaugurated by the Academy of American Poets in 1996, National Poetry Month is now held every April, when schools, publishers, libraries, booksellers, and poets throughout the United States band together to celebrate poetry and its vital place in American culture. Thousands of organizations participate through readings, festivals, book displays, workshops, and other events. The Oregon State Library is very proud to participate in the celebration of National Poetry Month and also, to promote the Oregon Poetry Collection by announcing a poetry reading by noted Oregon poet, essayist, and novelist, Ursula Le Guin. The poetry reading will be followed by a question & answer period and will take place on April 3 from 12:00 - 1:00 p.m. in the State Employment Department auditorium. Unfortunately, we must announce that this event is full to capacity. In 2007, the Oregon State Library and the Oregon Poetry Association joined together to develop the Oregon Poetry Collection. Publications in this special collection are written by Oregon poets, past and present, or deal substantially with Oregon subject matter. Its purpose is to provide a single, increasingly comprehensive collection of works by Oregon poets and to make these works accessible to all Oregonians.

Deadline is April 12 for FFY2014 LSTA Grant Proposals The application packet for FY2014 grant proposals is available on the web through the LSTA Competitive Grant Program page. Short proposals are due April 12 by 5:00 p.m. Ann Reed is available if you need advice, wish to consult on a rough draft or have any questions. Contact Ann at (503) 378-5027 or via email. Oregon Legislative Information System Streamlines Access to Legislative Information [OLIS]Government Research Services staff have found the new OLIS system, launched at the beginning of the 2013 Legislative Session, an easy to use portal for finding legislative information. OLIS provides close to real-time access to current legislative information. The site provides access to bill text, measure analysis, committee agendas, meeting material, recording logs and committee votes. At this time, only legislative information for the 2013 Session has been fully linked into the new system. The current plan is to provide access to these digital documents for six years. You can access OLIS from the Oregon Legislature's web page by clicking on the icons located in the center of the screen. The four icons represent the session calendar, legislative bills, legislative committees and legislative reports. If you have questions about using the new OLIS system, please contact the GRS staff at library.help at state.or.us. OSL Board Funds Additional LSTA Projects The OSL Board of Trustees recently approved recommendations from the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) Council to fund several projects with uncommitted Federal Fiscal Year 2012 LSTA money. The State Library will soon issue Request for Proposals (RFPs) for two of these projects. The first will solicit a consultant to conduct an environmental scan of current digital collection projects in Oregon and the Pacific Northwest region, as well as propose potential models for cross-institution collaboration in Oregon. The LSTA Council will use this report to guide grant funding of digital projects into the future. The second RFP will solicit a training program and materials that will teach the concepts of outcome based evaluation to OSL staff and to library staff across Oregon. The recently adopted Five-Year LSTA Plan places a focus on grant funded projects to measure outcomes and develop a culture of evaluation. State and local governing bodies are also placing an emphasis on demonstrating the value of services through outcome based data. OSL staff that administer grants and provide information, resources, and technical assistance to grantees, as well as library staff throughout the state will benefit from becoming more familiar with the tenets and practices of outcome based evaluation. For more information about these projects, please contact Susan Westin, Library Development Services Program Manager.

Contest winners will be announced in mid- May, and will receive cash prizes ($300. first place, $200. second and $100. for third). The contest begins on April 1st, and entries can be submitted until midnight on April 28th, 2013. Complete contest rules and submission instructions can be found at www.nwhf.org/photocontest .

I realize that it has been a very long time since we've gotten together for a brown-bag lunch, and I hope this email finds you all well. While this is a bit last-minute, I would like to invite you to lunch at my home library, at Everest College, on Tuesday, April 9th at noon. This is the spring break week for our campus, so I can host lunch in the library without inconveniencing students. We have a very small collection, but it is a chance for you to visit a small career college library and visit with the group. I haven't hosted for a couple of years, so many of you may not have seen this library. Please let me know if you plan to attend, I'd like to provide beverages and cookies. Hope to see you next Tuesday! Our library is located at 425 SW Washington Street in Portland. It's easier if you use the entrance to the building's annex, however, so please enter on 4th and Washington. You will see a white marble staircase, which leads up to glass double doors. You'll see signs from there. The direct phone line to the library is 503-221-2648, if you have any questions or get turned around. Elsa Loftis Elsa Loftis, M.L.I.S.

Do you feel that there is no one at work who supports you, gives you honest feedback and applauds your success? Do you feel you are too nice and well liked yet you aren't invited to key meetings or don't get on critical assignments? Women leaders tend to be caught between impossible choices - trying to conform to traditional masculine leadership behaviors and those of femininity. This situation makes it challenging for women to bring their best self to work which is required if you are going to succeed in today's highly competitive environments. It's like playing in the super bowl wanting to be liked by the opposing team and aspiring to win at the same time. During this webcast, Kathryn Mayer will take you through a quick assessment to help you understand how you approach competition and your responses will be compared to the results of the 40 successful women she interviewed to write her book, Collaborative Competition(tm): A Woman's Guide to Succeeding by Competing. Then she will provide a proven strategic approach to competition and how to form partnerships which will jump start your career growth. What You Will Learn: Gain a snapshot of your current approach to competition and competitive situations; Identify a strategic mindset and a personalized, healthy approach to competition; Learn how to form partnerships within competitive environments that will enhance your performance and reduce stress. While attending this program is FREE, reservations are required. http://www.amanet.org/training/webcasts/How-Women-Succeed-in-Competitive-Business-Environments.aspx April 3 (10-11 am) / So Many Devices, So Little Time (WebJunction) Our library patrons want help in learning how to use their mobile devices-such as an e-reader, smartphone, or new tablet--and it can feel like an insurmountable task to help them all.

Covey as he explains how trust dramatically lowers costs, speeds up results and increases profits and influence. Many businesses fail to recognize that trust-related problems like redundancy, bureaucracy, fraud and turnover eat away at an organization's bottom line in the form of slowed productivity, diverted resources and missed opportunities. What's more, a lack of trust among customers chips away at brand integrity. Doing business at the "Speed of Trust" dramatically lowers costs, speeds up results and increases profits and influence. Then you can begin to realize "Trust Dividends"-and get the benefits of a key issue most businesses ignore. For more information and to register for this program, visit: http://www.amanet.org/news/events-calendar.aspx April 10 (11 am-12 pm) / Working Effectively with Your Library Trustees (United for Libraries) Led by United for Libraries Executive Director Sally Gardner Reed, this webinar will provide strategies and tips for working effectively with library trustees. Topics will include orientation for new trustees, understanding roles, meetings, emergencies and effective communication. "The best libraries are those where the trustees and library director have a strong partnership," Reed said. "Both understand their complementary roles and both have the very best interests of the library at heart. This webinar is designed to help directors articulate the role of governance (trustees) versus management (library director) so their trustees can work effectively to promote the library's budget and services, while empowering directors to be effective decision makers and managers of the library's services and staff." The webinar is free; registration is limited to 100. This webinar will be presented with Internet audio only. You will need a computer with speakers or headphones as well as Internet access. United for Libraries members will have access to a recording of the webinar after April 9. For more information and to register, visit http://www.ala.org/united/training/webinars. April 10 (10-11 am) / Effective Strategic Planning Part 2: Getting Results (NonProfit Webinars) Strategic planning has a dicey reputation for any number of reasons: 1) it often is tedious and time-consuming; 2) the issues it identifies are either obvious or not critical to the mission (or both); 3) the actions it specifies are vague and unmeasurable; 4) it is ignored once the plan is written (or the written plan is never quite finished); 5) it simply adds tasks to an already over-stretched staff; 6) it has no results visible to stakeholders; 7) it does not advance your mission. These problems are not inherent to strategic planning; they are signs that it has been done badly. This webinar will look at how a nonprofit can infuse its mission into the daily activity of staff and board through a straightforward, rigorous, and even morale-building process. It will offer both a structure and tools for planning.

For more information regarding the schedule, please visit the OLA Legislative Network Wiki's page on OLA Legislative Day. http://olanetwork.wikispaces.com/OLA+Legislative+Day For those of you unable to visit Salem on Monday, we hoped you may consider participating by phoning or emailing your Senators and Representatives. The first of four issues we would like to discuss on Legislative Day is that of Information Literacy. OLA has an issue brief accessible online at: http://www.olaweb.org/assets/Legislative/leg_information%20literacy2013.pdf Below is a template that you can use to email your representatives about this important topic. Please consider using this template to email your state legislators on Monday. Cheers, Emily ----------------------- April 8, 2013 Dear _______________, I am writing today to ask you to support the critical role school and academic libraries play in Oregon?s K-20 educational curriculum. Information literacy?a term used by libraries to describe students? abilities identify, evaluate, and use information that is useful, meaningful, and accurate?is just as important to Oregon?s students as reading, writing, math and science. Information literacy is central to student success from kindergarten through graduate school. Students who are information literate become successful members of our communities and of the work force. Yet, school and academic libraries face challenges to providing information literacy instruction and services in K-20 education. Funding cuts in education have eliminated many professional librarian positions, replacing them with library staff that is not trained as librarians; and limited use of accountability standards among schools provide it difficult to create and maintain strong library and information literacy programs. Moreover, the State and our colleges and universities need to continuously and systematically assess how information literacy is achieved beyond 12thgrade. Research shows that investing in information literacy as a critical skill increases student achievement and improves education for all students. As a result, students will be better able to engage in civic and work life. Information literacy is critical in closing the digital divide among citizens and plays a leading role in reducing equities in our society. I urge you to support school and academic libraries by: - making library funding a priority; - pushing for school use of accountability standards for information literacy programs; - and asking the State, colleges and universities to systematically assess information literacy programs and achievements beyond the 12thgrade. As a librarian and as your constituent, I have seen the negative impact that decreased funding for libraries has on Oregon?s students. Your support would mean that librarians, like me, would be able to better help Oregon?s students succeed as Oregon citizens. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We have the shelves donated by Lewis & Clark College--about 180 linear feet of Estey metal one-sided shelving--almost filled, and many boxes of books from Alvin Josephy's libraries --he had one at his Greenwich, CT home and one here in Joseph--waiting to be shelved. Our next shelving move will be about 18 feet of double sided shelving. Preferably five or six feet high. That will double our shelving, and get us through most of the Josephy collections and other books that we have and are gathering. We also have a brand new custom made oak map case and file cabinet that will hold over 15 feet of hanging files--enough to get the papers, pamphlets, letters, and ephemera that we have on hand all cataloged and stored. So the immediate need is for double sided shelving. Metal to match Estey would be grand. But other options will be considered. If anyone is changing out shelving and has some to donate or to sell at reasonable prices, please let me know. thank you very much, rich wandschneider p.s., giving back: 1. our cabinet maker beat the heck out of catalog prices on the map/file cabinet--and it is beautiful. He also built us fine six by three oak library tables at less than catalog prices. Delivery time also impressive. and giving back 2. A local volunteer has digitized all of the maps from Josephy's *Nez Perce Indians and the Opening of the Northwest. *No center-fold creases in the maps; authors and researchers interested in the history of the NW might be interested. Copyright is with the family, and use for other publications quite possible. -- rich.wandschneider at gmail.com josephylibrary.blogspot.com/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I know many of our libraries have had major changes the last couple of years, so it would be great if we could all get together and meet all the new (or old!) faces in the area. All librarians and library staff in any kind of library--special, academic, school, public, museum, others--are more than welcome to attend. Meetings are not limited to professional librarians or library directors, although they are encouraged to attend, too! SOLF historically encompasses libraries in Lake, Klamath, Jackson, Josephine, Curry, Coos, and Douglas counties and (occasionally) Lane. -------------------- Lunch Arrangements-Lunch will be coming from a local caterer, and will be box lunches with a sandwich (choice of vegetarian or non-vegetarian), salad, dessert, and a drink - bring $10.50 / person. (The example Anne sent me was ham/havarti cheese sandwiches on croissant bread, tasty pasta salad with a mint brownie and a sparkling fruit drink...mmm.) Please RSVP to me by April 24th with your sandwich preference (vegetarian?) so I can let Anne Billeter at JCGL know the number of lunches to request. -------------------- A few notes on our agenda: * Dolores Knight has asked to step down as SOLF Treasurer, so Amy Kinard has agreed to serve as Interim until our next meeting when we'll look to fill the role. (Thank you, Amy!) This is a great way to get involved even if your schedule keeps you hopping, as the time commitment is not large (collect membership checks in the fall & work with the scholarship coordinator to send out the scholarship check in the spring). * Our major discussion item this time is deciding our activities focus for the next year. At our last meeting, we decided we wanted to discuss how SOLF's role has changed over the years , and I've been collecting historical documents from the Federation so I can share some perspective on what the group has worked on in the past (very cool-everything from scholarships to shared reference initiatives pre-L-Net). Now I'd like us to move that discussion into how we see SOLF being most useful for us today. In other words, what do we want to do between now and May 2014? Here are some ideas from which we could choose one or two that we may want to pick up again: * Short professional trainings (or are these covered for most by online opportunities)? * Shared reading and group discussion over the summer? * Education on collections and initiatives unique to our area (like the Southern Oregon Digital Archive or highlighting Southern Oregon authors)? * Change SOLF into something more informal, like the "coffee meetups" that we see happening in the metro areas, with updates and professional connections within the region as the main focus? * Use SOLF to develop some shared regional statements on major issues or advocacy to take to larger gatherings like OLA or other groups (similar to the ILAGO model)? * Or something else brilliant that we haven't done in the past will help you as a rural librarian in your day-to-day activities? OK, I'll jump off my suggestion soapbox now, but I hope you can join us on May 10th in Medford. Please forward this invitation to colleagues at your institution or interested others that I may have missed! (And let me know by Weds, April 24th for the lunch count.) Apologies for any duplication if you receive this email on multiple lists!

For more information regarding the schedule, please visit the OLA Legislative Network Wiki's page on OLA Legislative Day. http://olanetwork.wikispaces.com/OLA+Legislative+Day For those of you unable to visit Salem on Monday, we hoped you may consider participating by phoning or emailing your Senators and Representatives.

Please consider using this template to email your state legislators on Monday. Cheers, Emily ----------------------------- April 8, 2013 Dear _______________, I am writing today to ask you to support Oregon State Library?s Ready to Read Grant Program. The Ready to Ready Grant Program was created by the Legislature in 1993 to improve library services to children. Since then, public libraries throughout Oregon have used Ready to Read grants to help children discover the joy of reading and the power of literacy. These grants have been primarily used to promote early literacy. If increased by the amount of $100,000, these grants would extend coverage to support literacy efforts for all youth, through 17 years. Ready to Read is a pivotal program for Oregon. Our children are not meeting benchmark goals for readiness in learning by kindergarten, nor are they reaching reading proficiency by 3rd grade. Children who start school reading or Ready to Read will perform better than those who do not. Public libraries are the only resources in most Oregon communities that offer literacy programs for every resident without regard to demographic characteristics. Ready to Read grants are the only State General Fund program directly supporting Oregon?s public libraries. The cost of the program at $1 per child would be $1.75 million. The current funding is equivalent to 80? per child. In 2012, each $1 of state funds leveraged $ 1.44 in local funds. I urge you to support HB 5022, which will aid children and families in our communities. For more information about the Oregon State Library?s Ready to Read Grant Program please visit its 2011-2012 Annual Report, downloadable online at: http://bit.ly/readytoreadoregon. As a librarian and as your constituent, I urge you to support HB 5022. Your support would mean that public librarians would be able to better help children achieve a love of reading and to discover the power of literacy. Thank you for your time.

If you interested in running or nominating someone for one of these positions, please let me know.

Message-ID: <515C67B902000024000242A3@mail.lincolncity.org> I'm curious if any of you have specific policies about co-sponsoring programs with local community groups. Our policy regarding our meeting space boils down to basically, anyone can use it, and use of the library's space does not constitute library or city endorsement. We have also co-sponsored events with local community groups such as the AAUW and such: basically, we share costs and advertise the program as "Driftwood Public Library and the AAUW present X Program On X Nifty Thing." We don't have an official policy on this (bad Kirsten!) but the general view has been that we were willing to co-sponsor programs that were aligned with the library's mission -- most often it happens that a community group approaches us an says, "We were planning on doing a program on X, can we have it at the library?" and we say, "We were thinking of doing a program on that, too -- why don't we co-sponsor it?" My library's advisory board has recently questioned this, since some of the groups we've partnered with could be considered partisan or religious. Our feeling at the library has tended to be that as long as the program was educational and fit the library's mission, we were willing to work with these groups. I do think my board is right to express concern that in the absence of a policy, we may be setting a bad precedent -- but my instinct is that it has to be all or nothing -- either we're willing to co-sponsor events that fit the library's mission with any group, or we can't co-sponsor at all. I'm curious about how other libraries have handled this and whether you have written policies to this effect.

For more information regarding the schedule, please visit the OLA Legislative Network Wiki's page on OLA Legislative Day. http://olanetwork.wikispaces.com/OLA+Legislative+Day For those of you unable to visit Salem on Monday, we hoped you may consider participating by phoning or emailing your Senators and Representatives. The third of four issues we would like to discuss on Legislative Day is equitable access to legal information. OLA has an issue brief accessible online at: http://www.olaweb.org/assets/Legislative/leg_legal%20information2013.pdf Below is a template that you can use to email your representatives about this important topic. Please consider using this template to email your state legislators on Monday. Cheers, Emily April 8, 2013 Dear _______________, I am writing today to ask you to support equitable access to legal information for all Oregonians. Since 1907, county law libraries in Oregon have been funded by a percentage of court filing fees. In 2011 the Legislature passed HB 2710, part of which changed the way counties received funding for mediation/conciliation services and operating law libraries. According to a December 2012 report by the Business Fiscal Services Division, Office of the State Court Administrator, the legislative intent was to provide a General Fund appropriation that was equivalent to the historical funding these programs received in prior years, to the extent possible given budget restraints. In the fall of 2012, the OLA convened a task force to examine how to achieve its policy goal of equitable access to legal information. On this task force there was general support for centralized funding and administration of basic electronic legal information resources, with a cost estimate between $350,000 and $400,000 annually. This cost depends on the depth of resources licensed and the breadth of access. I support the continued exploration of a statewide county law library partnership in lieu of operating law libraries on a county level. This is a more complex undertaking as counties would have to agree to pursue this option and funds would need to be appropriated. An adequate program would fund the State Law Library to provide service to these counties through dedicated funds for staff to develop tools, train local providers and offer virtual reference. I urge you to equitable access to legal information for all Oregonians by: - Supporting appropriations in HB 5016 for the State Library to license and manage electronic legal information resources to be made accessible to as many as possible. As a librarian and as your constituent, I have seen the difficulty the public has in accessing legal information. This solution would allow me to better help library patrons, and provide more equitable access to legal information for all Oregonians. Thank you for your time.

Cheers, Emily -------------------------------------------------- April 8, 2013 Dear _______________, I am writing today to ask you to support individuals? rights to privacy on social media. Libraries and librarians value free expression and privacy. As a librarian I value them, too. There are currently two bills under consideration in the Oregon State Legislature related to privacy. Both are preventive measures that would ensure employee privacy protections on social media. Libraries and librarians are engaging in *digital literacy * initiatives, of which social media education and privacy are a part. Digital literacy is ?the ability to use information and communication technologies to find, evaluate, create, and communicate information requiring both cognitive and technical skills? (American Library Association). We are increasingly aware of how technology is changing libraries, the services we provide, and the issue we address. Moreover, as libraries work to support job seekers and the unemployed, they are on the front lines of social media privacy issues. I urge you to support individuals? rights to privacy by: - Supporting HB 2654/SB 344. As a librarian, your constituent, and a social media user, I would rest assured knowing that my communication on social media sites was protected from employers? inquiries. Thank you for your time.

Walk away from this training with: ? Activities, including one or more of the following (based on your input during the application process): ? Activity 7: Climate Tour: children ages 10 to 13 celebrate their region of the United States by creating a regionally-inspired postcard and recipe. Finally, they use a set of What if... cards about their region to reconsider their postcards and recipes in light of future climate change. ? Activity 8: Polar Bears or Penguins?: children ages 10 to 13 use a fast-action matching game to demonstrate how each of Earth's polar regions is distinct and special. ? Activity 9: Polar Bears Go with the Floes: In teams, children ages 11 to 13 build an understanding of how human actions impact global change by playing a board game in which chance and choice determine the fate of a lone polar bear on an ice floe. ? Activity 10: Earth: Artistically Balanced: Teens, ages 14 to 18, engage their communities in science through art. The teens first interact with a climate scientist to unravel, on a very basic level, the complexities of Earth's climate system, and then they create a three-dimensional artistic representation of Earth's climate.

What you may not know is that LearningExpress Library offers two AP practice exams each for biology, calculus, chemistry, English language & composition, English literature & composition, European history, U.S. government, and U.S. history. The materials are part of the Learning Center called College Preparation. Here are some tips if you direct students to LEL via OSLIS: Recall that to access resources on LEL, users must first create an account and then log in. http://oslis.org/oslissupport/announcements/2011/january-14-2011 See the attachment for screenshots that show how to access the AP tests. http://oslis.org/oslissupport/announcements/2010-announcements/attachments/LearningExpress%20Has%20AP%20Practice%20Tests.pdf For schools with access to Career Information Systems (CIS), suggest being consistent about whether students access LEL via OSLIS or CIS. http://oslis.org/oslissupport/announcements/2011/november-14-2011 If you have students or educators looking for AP practice materials, don't forget to include LEL in your list of resources.

Your eyes scan shelves not with anything particular in mind, but with a lifetime of general interests and a number of current curiosities. A book?or journal or magazine?jumps at you with its shape, color, title, or the image on its cover.....

In-Reply-To: References: <515C67B902000024000242A3@mail.lincolncity.org> Message-ID: <516046990200002400024333@mail.lincolncity.org> Hi Max, As things currently stand, any group can make use of our meeting rooms -- our policy states that: "Driftwood Public Library and the City of Lincoln City do not bar access to the meeting rooms to anyone on the basis of race, religion, gender, creed, age, national origin or social and/or political views. The library?s and city?s endorsement of a group?s views is not implied by their permitting a group to use the meeting rooms." So, to answer your question, if a white supremacist group requested to use a meeting room here at the library, their application would not be denied on that basis. We do require that groups who use the meeting rooms abide by our conduct policy, so if they were disruptive in their behavior during their meetings or interfered with others' ability to use the library, that would be an issue. I'm comfortable with this policy, and it's stood us in good stead thus far -- we have a wide variety of community groups that use our meeting rooms, and (*knocks on wood*) have not had any issues thus far. What I'm now looking into is when things go beyond merely allowing the use of the room, to actually sharing the costs and advertising with a group for an event. In the past, we have shared the costs and advertising with groups like the AAUW (American Association of University Women) to bring in speakers, and presented these events as co-presentations along the lines of "Driftwood Public Library and the AAUW present" such-and-such program. Recently I was approached by a local church about hosting similar program in conjunction with Earth Day. The subject matter of the program is non-religious and fits with the library's mission of literacy, but we have some concerns about what precedent co-sponsoring a program with a group that is explicitly religious might set. There is some trepidation with regard to saying, "Driftwood Library and Local Church present" in our press materials. I have found some policies online that address the process for co-sponsoring programs (for example, Fort Worth: http://fortworthtexas.gov/library/info/default.aspx?id=41498), but most don't address the issue of religion or partisan politics. I suppose the question we are asking ourselves is, should we set a policy that states that if the content of a program proposed for co-sponsorship fits the library's mission, we will consider sponsoring it no matter the originating group, or should we set a policy that restricts such sponsorships to secular and/or non-partisan organizations? And if we do set such a policy, who defines whether a group is non-partisan? Kirsten Brodbeck-Kenney >>> Max Macias 04/04/13 8:42 AM >>> Hi Kirsten, I'm interested to know if you would allow a White-Supremacist group, or a Satanic group to use your facilities for meetings.

I'm actually not aware of how any City-wide anti-discrimination policies would apply in that situation, and it's probably something I should look into. I expect that if an overt hate group tendered a request to use a meeting room, I would probably be talking to my City Attorney for advice. Hate groups and the like are extreme cases and are not something I have any experience with, but I do have experience with community members acting with incredulity about church groups being "allowed" to make use of library facilities, or fielding concerns about kids playing Dungeons & Dragons engaging in "Satanic behavior," and I'm pretty glad that I'm able to point to the policy of non-discrimination and ask the complainant if the group is actually doing anything disruptive to their enjoyment of the library other than merely existing! I've worked in another library that had a policy of not allowing ANY politically partisan or religious groups to use the meeting room facilities, out of fear of being forced to host controversial guests. I was pretty surprised no one had legally challenged it, honestly. Overall having a more open policy has been a lot less of a headache for me, and I think it's more in keeping with the library as a public space.

The Libri Foundation is a nationwide non-profit organization which donates new, quality, hardcover children's books to small, rural public libraries throughout the United States. Since October 1990, the Foundation has donated almost $5,500,000 worth of new children's books to more than 3,000 libraries in all 50 states. In order to encourage and reward local support of libraries, The Libri Foundation will match any amount of money raised by your local sponsors from $50 to $350 on a 2-to-1 ratio. Thus, a library can receive up to $1,050 worth of new children's books. After a library receives a grant, local sponsors (such as formal or informal Friends groups, civic or social organizations, local businesses, etc.) have four months, or longer if necessary, to raise their matching funds. The librarian of each participating library selects the books her library will receive from a booklist provided by the Foundation. The 700-plus fiction and nonfiction titles on the booklist reflect the very best of children's literature published primarily in the last three years. These titles, which are for children ages 12 and under, are award-winners or have received starred reviews in library, literary, or education journals. The booklist also includes a selection of classic children's titles. Libraries are qualified on an individual basis. In general, county libraries should serve a population under 16,000 and town libraries should serve a population under 10,000 (usually under 5,000). Libraries should be in a rural area, have a limited operating budget, and an active children's department. Please note: Rural is usually considered to be at least 30 miles from a city with a population over 40,000. Town libraries with total operating budgets over $150,000 and county libraries with total operating budgets over $350,000 are rarely given grants. Applications are accepted from independent libraries as well as libraries which are part of a county, regional, or cooperative library system. A school library may apply only if it also serves as the public library (i.e. it is open to the everyone in the community, has some summer hours, and there is no public library in town). A branch library may apply if the community it is in meets the definition of rural. If the branch library receives its funding from its parent institution, then the parent institution's total operating budget, not just the branch library's total operating budget, must meet the budget guidelines. A library that received a BOOKS FOR CHILDREN grant in 2010 or earlier is eligible to apply if it fulfilled all the grant requirements, including sending in its final report. Remaining application deadlines for 2013 are: (postmarked by) May 15th and August 15th. Grants will be awarded May 31st and August 31st. The names of grant recipients will be posted on the Foundation's website a few days after grants are awarded. Acceptance packets are usually mailed 14-18 days after grants are awarded. Please DO NOT waste money sending your application by Express or Certified Mail. The application deadline is based on postmark date, not arrival date. Application guidelines and forms may be downloaded from the Foundation's website at: www.librifoundation.org.

Newark, DE: International Reading Association, 2012. ISBN: 978-0-87207-478-1 Publisher's Description Selecting appropriate reading material for students is hard. For decades, teachers have known that quality instruction requires a careful matching of materials to students. The goal is to select materials that are neither too difficult nor too easy for students--a phenomenon sometimes called the Goldilocks Rule. To ensure that students learn to read increasingly complex texts, teachers have to understand what makes a text hard. The introduction of the Common Core State Standards has also placed a spotlight on text complexity. This book focuses on the quantitative and qualitative factors of text complexity as well as the ways in which readers can be matched with texts and tasks. It also examines how close readings of complex texts scaffold students understanding and allow them to develop the skills necessary to read like a detective. ---------------*****--------------- When you borrow from OSL, items will be checked out to your library for 4 weeks (print materials) or 2 weeks (videos).

Emily -------------- Information Literacy Template: Dear____________, I am writing today to ask you to support the critical role school and academic libraries play in Oregon?s K-20 educational curriculum. Information literacy?a term used by libraries to describe students? abilities identify, evaluate, and use information that is useful, meaningful, and accurate?is just as important to Oregon?s students as reading, writing, math and science. Information literacyis central to student success from kindergarten through graduate school. Students who areinformation literate become successful members of our communities and of the work force. Yet, school and academic libraries face challenges to providing information literacyinstruction and services in K-20 education. Funding cuts in education have eliminated many professional librarian positions, replacing them with library staff that is not trained as librarians; and limited use of accountability standards among schools provide it difficult to create and maintain strong library and information literacy programs. Moreover, the State and our colleges and universities need to continuously and systematically assess howinformation literacy is achieved beyond 12th grade. Research shows that investing in information literacy as a critical skill increases student achievement and improves education for all students. As a result, students will be better able to engage in civic and work life. Information literacy is critical in closing the digital divide among citizens and plays a leading role in reducing equities in our society. I urge you to support school and academic libraries by: - making library funding a priority; - pushing for school use of accountability standards for information literacy programs; - and asking the State, colleges and universities to systematically assess information literacy programs and achievements beyond the 12th grade. As a librarian and as your constituent, I have seen the negative impact that decreased funding for libraries has on Oregon?s students. Your support would mean that librarians, like me, would be able to better help Oregon?s students succeed as Oregon citizens. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, --------------------- Ready to Read Template: Dear _________________, I am writing today to ask you to support Oregon State Library?s Ready to Read Grant Program. The Ready to Ready Grant Program was created by the Legislature in 1993 to improve library services to children. Since then, public libraries throughout Oregon have usedReady to Read grants to help children discover the joy of reading and the power of literacy. These grants have been primarily used to promote early literacy. If increased by the amount of $229,000, these grants would extend coverage to support literacy efforts for all youth, through 17 years. Ready to Read is a pivotal program for Oregon. Our children are not meeting benchmark goals for readiness in learning by kindergarten, nor are they reaching reading proficiency by 3rd grade. Children who start school reading or Ready to Read will perform better than those who do not. Public libraries are the only resources in most Oregon communities that offer literacy programs for every resident without regard to demographic characteristics. Ready to Readgrants are the only State General Fund program directly supporting Oregon?s public libraries. The cost of the program at $1 per child would be $1.75 million. The current funding is equivalent to 80? per child. In 2012, each $1 of state funds leveraged $ 1.44 in local funds. I urge you to support HB 5022, which will aid children and families in our communities. For more information about the Oregon State Library?s Ready to Read Grant Program please visit its 2011-2012 Annual Report, downloadable online at: http://bit.ly/readytoreadoregon. As a librarian and as your constituent, I urge you to support HB 5022. Your support would mean that public librarians would be able to better help children achieve a love of readingand to discover the power of literacy. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, -------------------------- Employee Privacy Rights Template: Dear ___________, I am writing today to ask you to support individuals? rights to privacy on social media. Libraries and librarians value free expression and privacy. As a librarian I value them, too. There are currently two bills under consideration in the Oregon State Legislature related toprivacy. Both are preventive measures that would ensure employee privacy protections on social media. Libraries and librarians are engaging in *digital literacy * initiatives, of which social media education and privacy are a part. Digital literacy is ?the ability to use information and communication technologies to find, evaluate, create, and communicate information requiring both cognitive and technical skills? (American Library Association). We are increasingly aware of how technology is changing libraries, the services we provide, and the issue we address. Moreover, as libraries work to support job seekers and the unemployed, they are on the front lines of social media privacy issues. I urge you to support individuals? rights to privacy by: - Supporting HB 2654/SB 344. As a librarian, your constituent, and a social media user, I would rest assured knowing that my communication on social media sites was protected from employers? inquiries. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, --------------------- Equitable Access to Legal Information Template: Dear_________________, Today I am writing to ask you to support equitable access to legal information for all Oregonians. Since 1907, county law libraries in Oregon have been funded by a percentage of court filing fees. In 2011 the Legislature passed HB 2710, part of which changed the way counties received funding for mediation/conciliation services and operating law libraries. According to a December 2012 report by the Business Fiscal Services Division, Office of the State Court Administrator, the legislative intent was to provide a General Fund appropriation that was equivalent to the historical funding these programs received in prior years, to the extent possible given budget restraints. In the fall of 2012, the OLA convened a task force to examine how to achieve its policy goal of equitable access to legal information. On this task force there was general support for centralized funding and administration of basic electronic legal information resources, with a cost estimate between $350,000 and $400,000 annually. This cost depends on the depth of resources licensed and the breadth of access. I support the continued exploration of a statewide county law library partnership in lieu of operating law libraries on a county level. This is a more complex undertaking as counties would have to agree to pursue this option and funds would need to be appropriated. An adequate program would fund the State Law Library to provide service to these counties through dedicated funds for staff to develop tools, train local providers and offer virtual reference. I urge you to equitable access to legal information for all Oregonians by: - Supporting appropriations in HB 5016 for the State Library to license and manage electronic legal information resources to be made accessible to as many as possible. If legislation comes to the Senate or to any of your committees, please know that librarians in Oregon support equitable access to legal information for all Oregonians. As a librarian and as your constituent, I have seen the difficulty the public has in accessing legal information. This solution would allow me to better help library patrons, and provide more equitable access to legal information for all Oregonians. Thank you for your time.

Federal Student Loan Debt Burden of Noncompleters, a Statistics in Brief, focuses on the federal student debt burden accrued by students who do not complete a postsecondary credential within 6 years of enrolling. It is based on data from the two most recent longitudinal studies of beginning postsecondary students conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics: students who first enrolled in 1995-96 (as of 2001) and those who first enrolled in 2003-04 (as of 2009). * In 2009, the percentage of noncompleters after 6 years ranged from 19 percent of students in private nonprofit 4-year institutions to 46 percent in public 2-year colleges or for-profit institutions. An increase in noncompletion between 2001 and 2009 was observed only for students in for-profit institutions (35 percent to 46 percent). * In 2009, borrowing rates from federal student loan programs ranged from 25 percent of students in public 2-year colleges to 86 percent in for-profit institutions; comparable rates for students in 4-year public and nonprofit institutions were 58 percent and 64 percent, respectively. * In 2009, the cumulative amount borrowed per credit earned was highest for noncompleters in for-profit institutions ($350 per credit, compared with $80 to $120 per credit in the other three sectors). * In 2009, the median cumulative federal student debt for all noncompleters amounted to 35 percent of their annual income; debt burden was highest for students in 4-year nonprofit institutions (median debt equaled 51 percent of borrowers' annual income). Debt burden among noncompleters who started in for-profit institutions increased from 20 percent to 43 percent of annual income between 2001 and 2009.

The upcoming seminar focuses on College Students, Technology, and Academic Workflows and will feature two presentations looking at different aspects of this topic. Finding Techknowledgey (Allyson Dean) In an increasingly digital world, college assignments require students to complete demonstrations of their competency in not only their subject, but in the technology needed to complete the assignment. This session disseminates students' perceptions around the hidden curriculum of understanding technology, having consistent access to technology, and knowing what questions to ask or resources to seek to succeed in using technology for university coursework. The Impact of Mobile Devices on Undergraduate Students' Information Practices (Anne-Marie Deitering & Margaret Mellinger) Six OSU undergraduate students were given iPads and followed over 20 weeks using case study methods to track how they integrated the devices into their information workflows -and how they did not. Analysis of the research data led to greater awareness of the cyclical nature of student information and study habits. Results suggest that students would benefit from incorporating technology into their academic rhythms early in their college career, ideally in the first year. Presenters: * Allyson Dean is Head Advisor and Recruiting Specialist, College of Education, Oregon State University * Anne-Marie Deitering is the Franklin A McEdward Professor for Undergraduate Learning Initiatives and Head, Teaching & Engagement Department at Oregon State University Libraries & Press * Margaret Mellinger is Emerging Technologies and Instruction Librarian at Oregon State University Libraries & Press When: Friday, April 12, 2013, 10:00-11:30am Where: Willamette Industries Seminar Rooms (3622), Valley Library, Oregon State University, Corvallis campus.

(2009) Emergency Preparedness for Libraries. Lanham, MD: Scarecrow Press. Despite the volumes of information they contain, few libraries, whose population at any given moment is as unpredictable as the weather, know how to prepare for, endure, and survive a disaster, whether natural or man-made, and even fewer put their know-how to paper. Emergency Preparedness for Libraries provides library management with a comprehensive guide to planning and executing emergency procedures. Based, in part, on an emergency preparedness seminar the author has presented for the American Library Association, Emergency Preparedness for Libraries provides library personnel with detailed instructions for protecting staff, patrons, and the facilities themselves, including * Steps to take now, before disaster strikes * People and procedures to include in an emergency/disaster action plan * Practical ways to turn written plans into an instinctual team response * Safety considerations to take into account when caring for people on-site during an emergency * Information to provide to the umbrella organization and the media after a disaster * Key things to do the first few days after an event * Tips for getting back to business In addition, the author examines possible scenarios and provides step-by-step solutions for all types of libraries-academic, school, public, and special-and all types of disruptions, including floods, fires, civil disturbances, and theft.

This volume outlines the measures of space needed for the use of equipment and furniture within a library setting. It provides drawings of typical library furniture and equipment along with diagrams of the space required for their use. In addition, this volume also contains a brief text that provides an overview of the planning process, as well as details on several aspects of design and planning. With this expanded and revised edition, planners of new, renovated, or existing space will be better able to effectively utilize the space they have and to resist the temptation to overload a given space with too many functions. This third edition significantly expands the number of illustrations found in the previous edition, adding information on newer library technology and amenities. Photographs of furniture and equipment in library settings further enhance the user's understanding of applicable square footage needs. Designed to be consulted after the decision to build has been made, this volume answers the critical question, "How much space do we need?".

We see patrons and employees alike jazzed up and busy working on ?stuff.? Mash-ups, maker spaces, images and ideas, writing, posting, collecting evidence and crafting arguments; even our information literacy outcomes are full of creativity. Look at the creative potential in these two IL outcomes a) manipulate and manage information using appropriate tools and technologies and b) create, produce, and communicate understanding of a subject through synthesis of relevant information. We create virtually real communities, really virtual communities, and dialogue about things like, well, real and virtual communities. Self-publishing happens (and gets donated!), and never mind the librarian DIY ethos (knit much?). Whether it?s digital or dancing, library people find stuff, use stuff, and make stuff, including memories that add to a sense of library ownership. For the next issue of the OLA Quarterly we invite articles about creative happenings and how the library honors the artistic artifacts and energy.

The process is simple, direct, and meaningful, encompassing intentionality and reflective conversations amongst colleagues. The two elements of collaborative peer conversation, Planning Conversation and Reflective Conversation will be explored in depth in this interactive event. We may learn by doing, but we enhance learning by reflecting upon what we do!

I believe it was given by a nice lawyer lady, and some of the discussion was about how to construct a policy structure that can keep out hate groups while protecting the library from legal challenges. Unfortunately, I can?t remember which conference or lay hands on any information from the session. Anyone else out there attend with better memory/organization skills than me?

Well, Ann, that's a really good question. I'm actually not aware of how any City-wide anti-discrimination policies would apply in that situation, and it's probably something I should look into. I expect that if an overt hate group tendered a request to use a meeting room, I would probably be talking to my City Attorney for advice. Hate groups and the like are extreme cases and are not something I have any experience with, but I do have experience with community members acting with incredulity about church groups being "allowed" to make use of library facilities, or fielding concerns about kids playing Dungeons & Dragons engaging in "Satanic behavior," and I'm pretty glad that I'm able to point to the policy of non-discrimination and ask the complainant if the group is actually doing anything disruptive to their enjoyment of the library other than merely existing! I've worked in another library that had a policy of not allowing ANY politically partisan or religious groups to use the meeting room facilities, out of fear of being forced to host controversial guests. I was pretty surprised no one had legally challenged it, honestly. Overall having a more open policy has been a lot less of a headache for me, and I think it's more in keeping with the library as a public space. Kirsten Brodbeck Kenney Library Director Driftwood Public Library >>> MILLER Anne M > 04/07/13 12:09 PM >>> How does this fit with an organization?s or a city?s anti-discrimination and equity policy? Some cities have anti-racist policies and standards. A library that gives meeting space to a blatantly racist group would alienate and intimidate me and would certainly impair my equal access to that library.

We are scheduled to meet in the "Hemlock" room on Friday, April 26th from 1:15-2:15 PM. We welcome all OLA members interested in library technology to attend. We are all about sharing information and helping each other with using technology in libraries. The OLA Library Technology Round Table formed in 2011. LibTech RT's goals are to offer a forum for ideas involving the use of technology in libraries, and to promote cooperation and fellowship among OLA members responsible for or interested in technology in libraries. Here is our page on the Oregon Library Association website. At the meeting we will need to nominate/ elect a Chairperson, Vice Chairperson (Chair Elect), and Secretary. If you interested in running or nominating someone for one of these positions, please let me know. You must be a member of the Oregon Library Association and the Library Technology Round Table to run and vote. If you are unable to attend the meeting, but have ideas or thoughts you would like Round Table members to consider, please pass them along. As a reminder, it's very easy to add the Library Technology Round Table as an affiliation to your OLA membership. You can do that via this form. It costs a whole $5 a year. Please feel free to contact us with questions about this meeting or the OLA Library Technology Round Table in general.

The Oregon Library Association's (OLA) position on this important issue would damage many existing, staffed county law libraries, libraries that reach out to counties with unstaffed law libraries and provide assistance and information when needed. We believe there are ways to improve equitable access to legal information without causing harm to the counties. Before you support the letter presented by the OLA Legislative Committee, we urge you to talk with your fellow librarians who work in county law libraries. County law libraries are funded through one source only and this proposal would take 10% of that funding allocation off the top to support a fledgling concept. After experiencing a significant reduction in funding during the 2011-13 biennium, the added burden of an additional 10% reduction will significantly impact the county law library system. Patrons, including public and private librarians and their users, who use the county law libraries, will be adversely affected by the reduction in funding put forth in this proposal. It distresses us to see this happening in the library world of Oregon. There are other, less costly solutions. There are other ways to improve access to legal information. We have a great concern for the underserved of the State and are dedicated to this issue. Please visit our website at www.occll.org and contact us if you have a legal information need or questions on HB 5016 section 8. Again, please also talk to county law librarians when considering this very important topic. Thank you for your time. Regards, Beecher Ellison, Law Librarian, Josephine County Diana L.

Many of us approach instruction with little to no formal training in "how to teach." We work hard in order to figure it out, we consult our colleagues and friends to discover "what works?" -yet several concepts--the mechanics of searching, plagiarism, scholarly discourse-- remain consistently elusive, and are therefore regularly addressed in professional forums... While these topics are frequently discussed, they are still challenging to solve. Through our reasoned and polite debate, we will discover great ideas to implement in the classroom, and identify deeper issues to discuss-such as developing a personal pedagogy, the role of teaching partners like faculty, teachers, volunteers and others, and the best tools and resources available to guide us as we work to become better teachers.

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, museums 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.

The focus will be on identifying RDA records and understanding the new fields and practices that differ from AACR2 so that copy catalogers can select bibliographic records and edit them appropriately. Examples will include RDA records and "hybrid" records in various formats, with an emphasis on resources collected by public libraries. Integrated library systems' capabilities for managing RDA data will be discussed at a general level.

Hear stories about experiences with Evergreen and Koha, and learn about issues diverse libraries faced and lessons they learned. If you are considering an open source ILS, what do you need to know and how should you prepare to research, choose, and implement one?

Message-ID: <280f00c1-4eac-4efe-b28f-37f337331810@cityofseaside.us> The Seaside Public Library invites you to a Celebration of 100 years party on Saturday, April 20th at 2:00pm in the Library's Community room. Started by the Civic Community Group in 1913, the Seaside Library had its humble start in a room off the first public restrooms in Seaside, Oregon. Run by the City since 1918, the library has flourished thanks to the support of the local community. In 1935 it officially became a public library. In 2007 the community pulled together to fundraise for a new library building that was completed in 2008. Thanks to this ongoing support and the legacy of past library directors, the Seaside Public Library is a well-loved treasure in the town and many locals and visitors attend the monthly author events, art shows, craft events, trivia nights, film events, children's programs, teen programs, and much more. We invite you to celebrate with us as we take a look back through the years of milestones in the life of the Seaside Public Library. For more information, please contact Esther Moberg or Jon Burke at 503-738-6742.

Great discounts, great customer service. HOWEVER, about four years ago they were acquired by the folks in Michigan City and everything went downhill rapidly.

Here is a brief follow up. At Deschutes Public Library we decided to go with the Scan Pro 800, which has fewer features than the Scan Pro 2000. The essential tasks for us are: the ability to save to a flash drive, email content, print clean images, and tie into our Pharos system for printing and an payments. We will not have the capability to search film using OCR but given the pricing difference between the two models we think the Scan Pro 800 will work well for us.

Message-ID: For Jane Austen fans, there will be a special lecture on women and the issue of marriage in the time of Jane Austen for the May event of the Oregon & SW Washington region of the Jane Austen Society of North America (JASNA). Please see below for the event and contact information. *The Oregon and SW Washington Chapter of the Jane Austen Society **of North America* is pleased to invite you to attend our May event Sunday, the Twelfth of May, 2013 at one o?clock in the afternoon at The Holy Names Heritage Center 17425 Holy Names Dr. Lake Oswego, OR 97034 ** *Reservations are required. The cost for this event is $12.00 per person.* *For students with a valid student ID card, this fee will be waived.* *Directions are available on our website at **www.jasna-orswwa.org* *.* After a sumptuous potluck luncheon provided by the members of the chapter, our featured speaker, Dr. Lynda Hall, will discuss *the issue of marriage in the time of Jane Austen*. In honor of the 200th anniversary of the publication of Austen?s ?own darling child,? Dr. Hall?s lecture will focus on *Pride and Prejudice*. As a minor character in *the novel,** *Charlotte Lucas is hidden behind the heroine?s vibrancy and her story is often overlooked. However, Charlotte is important because she represents the pragmatic perspective necessary for many women of Jane Austen?s class and time. Through the story of Charlotte Lucas, Jane Austen reflects the sometimes difficult choices real women had to make to survive. Dr. Lynda Hall is an assistant professor at Chapman University in Orange County, California. Having written her doctoral dissertation on the ?Other Women? in Austen?s novels, she continues that focus on how some of the fringe characters reveal the difference between a single or widowed woman?s market value versus their actual human worth. *Dr. Hall?s lecture is funded by a grant from The Jane Austen Society of North America. * *REGISTRATION INFORMATION*: The cost for this event is $12.oo per person. For students with valid student ID cards, this fee will be waived. If you would like to attend this event, please contact us at Jasna.orswwa at gmail.com *Kim Higgins* Regional Coordinator of the Jane Austen Society of North America Oregon/ SW Washington Chapter -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Missing the following: Vols: 1-7, 9, 11, 18-22, 24-26, 28, 30-34. We then have a big gap from 1935-53, beginning with Vol 36 (1935). Need all but Vol 37, 2,3,4, and Vol 38, no. 1. We are missing a few from 1953 forward, but would like to concentrate on the big older chunks now and fill in the odd missing pieces later.

Chicago: ALA, 2013. 023 Munde. ISBN 978-1-55570-798-9 >From the dean or director to student assistants, every academic library employee is subject to a number of complicated, confusing, and intertwined employment policies and procedures. Many of these are required by law or governed by federal or state regulations; other policies or practices are unique to an institution. Because of the complex interplay of these forces, human resources (HR) management and personnel transactions can seem mysterious or confusing. Munde clears the air in her new handbook, providing basic explanations and rationales for the most common and practical applications of HR management in colleges, universities and academic libraries. This handbook * Explains the difference between a person and a position, and details the types of positions in academic libraries * Summarizes basic employment law, highlighting key federal laws which protect employees * Covers the dynamics of working with others, offering guidance for managing conflicts, supervising others, and conducting performance evaluations * Provides an overview of the recruitment process, with a look at the roles of search and tenure committees Readers will find Munde's handbook an effective atlas of the most traveled regions of the HR terrain.

The State Librarian has tracked the number of full-time equivalent (FTE) licensed school librarians employed in Oregon public schools since the 1980-81 school year. Recently we also started tracking the number of FTE school library support staff. For figures and a chart related to the 31-year span, see the attached PDF. Here is brief snapshot: School Year FTE Library Support Staff FTE Licensed Librarians Percent Change from 1980 to 2011 No. of Students Per Licensed Librarian Percent Change from 1980 to 2011 1980-81 n/a 818 n/a 547 n/a 2010-11 682 308 n/a 1,822 n/a 2011-12 697 203 -75% 2,763 +405% The information comes from the Oregon Department of Education. As of the last few years, some of the figures were pulled from the Oregon Statewide Annual Report Card. Note that the staffing chart on PDF page 15 of the 2011-12 report card (and for some previous years) combines figures for school library licensed and support staff. When we pointed out that this could be confusing since there is a separate row for support staff, ODE added a note to the bottom of the chart.

Truth About Social Learning (InSync Training) "Social learning" and "informal learning" are among the training industry's hottest phrases these days. But there's so much confusion over what they mean, and what they mean to those of us in the business. A few truths: social learning isn't new; social learning isn't necessarily ?managed', ?launched', ?controlled', or ?measured'; people in the workplace are learning all the time - without us; and those people likely don't think of what they're doing as "learning". In this session we'll spend some time looking at real examples of social and informal learning as it happens in workplaces all the time, every day. Along the way we'll generate some ideas for locating, supporting and facilitating social learning opportunities toward the greater goal of enhancing organizational performance.

According to the National Association for Educational Progress 2011 Report Card, only 14 percent of African American 4th and 8th graders performed at or above the proficient level on national reading tests in 2011 and males scored 9 points lower on average than females. This webinar will explore the role of the education community, including librarians, in: 1) closing the literacy achievement gap, 2) nurturing the resolve of African American male youth, helping them reconcile their different identities, and reimagine their place in the world, and 3) enabling African American male youth to take action in their own lives and in their communities. The session will use Blackboard Collaborate (formerly Elluminate). Presenters: Sandra Hughes-Hassell and Amanda Hitson Sandra Hughes-Hassell, Ph.D., is a professor and coordinator of the School Library Media Program in the School of Information and Library Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In her current research she focuses on social justice issues in youth library services and the role of school library media specialists in education reform. She teaches courses in services to diverse youth populations, materials for young adults and the development of school library media programs. Amanda Hitson is a graduate student and research assistant at the School of Information and Library Science of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She will graduate with a Master of Library Science degree in May of 2013 and hopes to begin working as a school librarian the following school year. Her research has primarily focused on the literacy of African American male youth and multimodal forms of storytelling.

Part I of II (Infopeople) Is your library staff overwhelmed by users behaving badly? Does your code of conduct sufficiently address users? inappropriate behaviors? Are staff resentful of having to act as de facto social workers? To a great extent, libraries? users behave within the framework of acceptable social norms. But a subset of users in all libraries ? large, small, urban, rural, suburban, special and academic ? behave outside these norms, placing stress on the staff and other users. Whether the behaviors are exhibited by those who are homeless, mentally ill or just plain rude, providing your staff with limit-setting and self-care skills can turn challenging situations into empowering ones. San Francisco Public Library has turned to other City agencies to assist staff in gaining skills and strategies for responding to these situations. At the end of this one-hour webinar, participants will: Be able to identify at least 3 reasons why it is important to set limits with users; be able to share with co-workers at least 3 effective strategies on how to set limits with users; be able to articulate the importance of the concept of self-care and be familiar with self-care strategies following a difficult interaction with a user. This webinar will be of interest to library front-line staff, primarily in public libraries but useful no matter the setting.

How do you decide what technology services to include in your plans? How do you know what your community wants and needs? How do you plan for an unknown future? And once you have created a plan, how do you move beyond the document to the implementation? Join us on May 15th at 11 AM Pacific/2 PM Eastern, as we talk about technology planning in libraries with special guest Alexis Caudell, director of the Mitchell Community Public Library in Mitchell, Indiana ? a busy small-town library, serving a population of 12,009 across three rural townships. Successful technology implementation requires time, attention, planning, money, and training. Alexis focuses on thinking ahead, pursuing grants, and making people a priority ? including both staff members who need training and community members whose needs are the driving force. We look forward to learning from Alexis as she shares her experiences and ideas in this session. This webinar is part of a series of webinars exploring the Edge Initiative Benchmarks, specifically Benchmark 7, which says: Libraries integrate public access technology into planning and policies.

Happen! A Toolkit for Building Collaborative Relationships with your IT Department (Colorado State Library) IT folks carry the stigma of being particularly non-collaborative, but the stereotype of the loner programmer barricaded in a cubicle is not necessarily accurate.

This program will discuss proven management and collaborative techniques for building relationships, through self-assessment and teambuilding techniques, and will offer a glimpse into how strong relationships between IT and public services libraries can lead to award-winning and innovative projects.
