How can you tell if a reader is for children just starting to read, for someone whose reading level is at the beginning of second grade, or someone who reads somewhere in between? Spokane County Library Youth Services Librarians Gwendolyn Hayley and Mary Ellen Braks will help solve these issues. Presented by Mary Ellen Braks & Gwendolyn Haley, Spokane County Library District LibraryNow for Libraries December 10, 2013, 9:00-10:00am or 2:00-3:00pm PT Close to 95% of all public libraries in Washington State will have an app for mobile phones by the end of 2013 which will enable patrons to connect to all their libraries resources which are available through the web.

First Tuesdays: Edge Strengthens Libraries January 7, 2014, 9:00-10:00am PT Edge is a new management and leadership tool that is helping libraries and local governments work together to achieve community goals. With this professional tool, libraries can be better positioned to address community issues - like creating a stronger economy, ensuring workforce development and leading lifelong learning. Through an easy to use suite of tools, Edge supports libraries in making strategic decisions and identifying areas for improvement. The Edge Toolkit gives libraries a look into their local data, from operations to partnerships and programming, to assess how their community is using the technology and how best practices can be put into place to align future growth and services with community priorities. It also provides useful resources to package and showcase the data to other community leaders. Presented by Samantha Becker, University of Washington.

From 12:00-1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, December 4, at the Employment Department Auditorium, noted Oregon naturalist Bill Sullivan will present from his recent novel, D.B. Cooper & the Exploding Whale: Folk Heroes of the Northwest. The auditorium is located on the first floor of the Employment Building at 875 Union St. in Salem. Sullivan is a frequent presenter at our State Library lecture series and we welcome him back. He brings in a big crowd so please note the move to the Employment building. Join us for an entertaining and provocative examination of Oregon Folk heroes and mysteries from D.B. Cooper, the Exploding Whale, and Sasquatch. Bill Sullivan explores and examines Oregon Folk hero mysteries and legends, tying them into Governor Oswald West's polices and the ongoing mystery revolving around the outcome of the D.B. Cooper case. Native Oregonian Bill Sullivan is an author of over 17 books and numerous articles about Oregon. He began hiking at age 5 and has continued to explore and write about Oregon's natural history throughout his life. He is well known for his many books describing Oregon's hiking trails and natural beauty. After studying at Deep Springs College in the California desert, receiving an English degree from Cornell University, and studying linguistics at Germany's Heidelberg University, he earned an M.A. in German literature from the University of Oregon. Please join us on December 4th at the Employment Building as our Fall Lecture Series concludes. Report on Oregon Digital Collections Plan Now Available Online [Plumer]Over the summer, Danielle Plumer (a digital collections consultant) completed an environmental scan of digital collection projects in Oregon and the Pacific Northwest region and reported the results. Based on these results, Ms. Plumer also created a plan that includes working models for cross-institutional collaborative digital collection projects for the state of Oregon. The plan's flexible models are based on current digitization and digital content management standards and encourage coordination and/or aggregation of freely available digitized cultural collections throughout the state. The Oregon Digital Collections Plan was presented to the LSTA Council last October and State Library Board will be determining next steps later this month based on the plan's recommendations. The plan is now available for download (singly or in parts) from the State Library website. The research and development of this plan was paid for with LSTA funds. Ready to Read Grants Coming this Month The 2013-2014 Ready to Read Grants will be mailed to public library directors by the end of December. Included in this mailing will be a list of the libraries receiving grants this year, descriptions of the projects they plan to implement with their Ready to Read Grant in 2014, and a sample press release. Legislators increased Ready to Read funding for the 2013-2015 biennium, so please be sure to thank them and inform them how the grant is benefiting children and young adults locally at your library. The Oregon Library Association's Legislative Committee maintains a webpage on the Ready to Read Grant program with a variety of resources to help you communicate with Legislators and other library stakeholders in your community.

Return to top of page Other Library News Creative Aging in America's Libraries Project includes Three Oregon Libraries The Creative Aging in America's Libraries has been funded by the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS). This three-year national leadership project will improve, expand, and sustain creative aging programs in public libraries and will help position libraries as community cornerstones for positive aging. The project will establish the Lifetime Arts Library Affiliate Network through which up to 150 librarians, representing twenty-two library systems in twelve states, will participate in training, receive on-going technical assistance, participate in a national peer network, and receive support to implement programs in their communities. In Oregon, three libraries will be participating in the Affiliate Network: Cedar Mill Community Library, North Plains Public Library, and Beaverton City Library (as Consortium Lead). More information can be found at the project website as well as the free toolkit, Creative Aging Toolkit for Public Libraries available to all libraries. Oregon Intellectual Freedom News Database: Historical Articles Upload Complete All relevant historical articles from the State Libraries files have been abstracted and added to the Oregon Intellectual Freedom News Database thanks to Genna James, a volunteer who recently received a Masters in Library Science. The database includes 711 newspaper articles from 1946 - 2013, with current articles being added annually. Most articles are about challenges to library materials and other censorship-related issues. While not comprehensive, this repository covers a wide range of challenges which have occurred in Oregon over the past 50+ years. Search results provide an abstract of the article, keywords, newspaper, date, location, participants, and outcome. Full text articles can be requested by contacting the coordinator of the Oregon Intellectual Freedom Clearinghouse, currently Katie Anderson. The Oregon Intellectual Freedom News Database is made available through a partnership of the Oregon State Library, the OLA Intellectual Freedom Committee, and Pacific University.

Anyone age ?6 to 106? can participate. ?We'll provide a variety of self-guided tutorials (http://csedweek.org/learn) that anybody can do, on a browser, tablet, or smartphone. We'll even have unplugged tutorials for [those] without computers. No experience needed.? Libraries can sponsor An Hour of Code events. Here are some ideas: ? Sponsor an event at your academic library ? Sponsor an event for homeschooling families ? Try a code tutorial with the teen advisory council or similar groups ? Try it with staff or faculty during or instead of a meeting ? Let local groups know: homeschoolers, Girl and Boy Scouts, chamber of commerce, etc. ? Offer this instead of a traditional public library ?computer 101? workshop. (Too late? Offer it after the ?official? week.) If you want to join the fun, you can participate anytime during the week of Dec. 9th. Organizers ask that you register so they can track the number of events and participants (http://csedweek.org/participate). 3-minute information video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfZrX5YDltU Participation kit for community organizers: http://csedweek.org/community Tips for those leading events: http://csedweek.org/learn (Scroll to about 2/3s down.)

The James Madison Award, named in honor of President James Madison, was established in 1986 to celebrate an individual or group who has brought awareness to these issues at the national level. Madison is widely regarded as the Father of the Constitution and as the foremost advocate for openness in government. The Eileen Cooke Award honors an extraordinary leader who has built local grassroots awareness of the importance of access to information. Cooke, former director of the ALA Washington Office, was a tireless advocate for the public?s right to know and a mentor to many librarians and trustees. Both awards are presented during Freedom of Information (FOI) Day, an annual event on or near March 16, Madison?s birthday. Nominations should be submitted to the ALA Washington Office no later than January 17, 2014. Submissions should include a statement (maximum one page) about the nominee?s contribution to public access to government information, why it merits the award and one seconding letter. Please include a brief biography and contact information for the nominee. Send e-mail nominations to Jessica McGilvray, Assistant Director for the ALA Office of Government Relations, at jmcgilvray at alawash.org.

Do you know someone personally or professionally who deserves recognition? If so, please consider nominating that person (or organization) for the ALA's Intellectual Freedom Round Table's John Phillip Immroth Memorial Award. Past recipients range from Amnesty International (for their approach to Banned Books Week), public librarians who organized book clubs for students to read books with "more mature themes" than they were allowed to read in school, individuals who returned censored art work to galleries from which they had been removed, to a bookstore refusing to breach the privacy of their patrons. For details about these and other award winners over the past four decades please see the Immroth Award recipients list at http://www.ala.org/ifrt/awardsfinal/Immroth_Award/pastrecipientsimmroth For more information about the award in general, please see this press release about the extended deadline (now February 14, 2014) for the next award. http://www.ala.org/news/press-releases/2013/11/john-phillip-immroth-memorial-award-nominations-deadline-extended To nominate your intellectual freedom champion by February 14, 2014, please see: http://www.ala.org/ifrt/awardsfinal/Immroth_Award/immroth Sincerely, Jean Caspers, Chair John Phillip Immroth Memorial Award Committee ALA Intellectual Freedom Round Table 2013-14 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Vendors including EBSCO, Gale, OCLC, and others are increasingly developing for the mobile market. We are in a period of transition; some libraries already provide extensive mobile services, while others are deciding where to begin. Many librarians are developing mobile literacy skills to better serve users. As part of our effort to better understand the current state of mobile technologies in libraries, we are again surveying public, academic, and other libraries in Oregon, Washington and Idaho. Thank you for filling out our short survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/PJD35FX , which should take about 10 minutes. Please fill out the survey by Wednesday, December 18, 2013. Results will be presented at the Online Northwest Conference, February 7, 2014, and subsequently online. 2014 results will be compared with 2012 results to see what changes, if any, have occurred in mobile use in Northwest libraries during that time. Please contact us if you have questions about our study. Thanks!

If you submitted a post before our March 25th deadline and you haven't seen it yet, please e-mail me (womenoflibraryhistory at gmail) so I can investigate. - as of this writing, we have *444* followers, which seems auspicious! We've also received comments via e-mail and Facebook as folks see librarians they remember from their own pasts. If you have a favourite post or have seen an old friend on the blog, we'd love to hear about it! - today, we'll feature another reblog from My Daguerreotype Librarian, our librarian-history Tumblr friends. Next week, I hope you'll indulge me as I share a story from my own community. After that, we'll probably turn down the lights a bit until next year. An index and some highlights from this year's posts are also forthcoming. - if you are interested in helping with next year's project, or if you have ideas for the future of Women of Library History, please get in touch via e-mail (womenoflibraryhistory at gmail). We would also love to see you at the Feminist Task Force meetings at Midwinter in Philadelphia--I'll post more schedule information as that gets closer.

Could you please post this information about the OSU Libraries Faculty Association Seminar? Thanks, Sue OSU Libraries and Press (OSULP) is pleased to invite you to the December Library Faculty Association Seminar Series. Amanda Whitmire, Data Management Specialist at OSULP, will present ?Research Data Services at OSU Libraries and Press: What?s the Story?? Date: Friday, December 13, 2013 Time: 10:00-11:30 a.m. Place: Willamette Rooms (Third Floor) In September 2012, Amanda Whitmire retired her sea legs and shifted from oceanography to a career in research data management services and instruction at OSULP. Her presentation will provide local and national context for why OSULP felt the need to begin offering these innovative services, review the scope of the services that we now offer, and briefly examine how the services compare to those of our peers. This seminar is intended to be a ?Who, what, when, where, why and how?? about research data services for audiences including faculty and staff within OSULP and the wider campus community. Colleagues from other academic libraries will leave with a better understanding about providing data management services on their own campuses.

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.

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. We seek clarification from ODE staff about the separate figures for licensed versus support staff. > > Questions?

ECPA is one of the Internet's most outdated laws - it was enacted in 1986, before most people had access to a home computer or email. While the public has been rightfully outraged over reports that the NSA accesses communications without a warrant, ECPA says that hundreds of other government agencies--like the IRS, FBI, and DEA, as well as state and local law enforcement agencies--can access many of our stored emails, private social media messages, and documents in the cloud without getting a warrant from a judge. The law flies directly in the face of our Fourth Amendment values. Bills to reform ECPA have gained huge support in recent months from both parties in Congress. However, legislation is now being blocked by a power grab from the Securities and Exchange Commission, which is pushing for a special carve-out for regulatory agencies to get your documents from online providers without a warrant. The SEC carve-out would neuter ECPA reform. That's why we're calling on the White House to break its silence and stand up for ECPA reform. We need President Obama to tell the SEC to back down in its demands for troubling new powers and make clear that the time for ECPA reform is now. Today we ask you join us by signing this petition to the White House. It's time for the President to join hundreds of tech companies, startups, advocates, and Members of Congress by supporting this commonsense, long overdue reform to ensure our privacy rights online. *Participating organizations:* *Access* * ACLU* * Americans for Tax Reform* * American Library Association* * Center for Democracy & Technology* * Demand Progress* * Disconnect* * Electronic Frontier Foundation* * Engine Advocacy* * Fight for the Future* * Free Press* * Google* * Internet Infrastructure Coalition* * Liberty Coalition* * Open Technology Institute* * R Street* * SpiderOak* * TechFreedom* * Twitter* http://www.districtdispatch.org/2013/12/day-action-demand-ecpa-reform/ -- *Diedre Conkling* *Lincoln County Library DistrictP.O.

The PAC endorses and makes campaign contributions to state legislative candidates who support libraries and to local library campaigns on request. The Board of Directors includes OLA leadership, but the PAC is a separate legal entity from OLA. Current PAC board members are Michele Burke, Abigail Elder, Penny Hummel, and Janet Webster, the past and current OLA presidents and the co-chairs of the OLA Library Development and Legislative Committee. Nan Heim is the treasurer. In recent years, People for Oregon Libraries PAC contributions and endorsements have gone to support legislators who helped pass our school library bill, supported Ready to Read, defended freedom of expression, or helped libraries in other ways. The PAC has also endorsed and supported new candidates for the Legislature. People for Oregon Libraries PAC contributions do not buy votes. We believe that our contributions, and the accompanying endorsement, gain good will for libraries, and show appreciation for those who have supported libraries. What has the PAC done in 2013? So far in 2013, 12 people have contributed to People for Oregon Libraries PAC, with contributions ranging from $50 to $200. The PAC has contributed a total of $550 this year to the campaigns of four incumbent State Representatives: Phil Barnhart, Mike McLane, Vicki Berger and Jeff Barker. These legislators all meet the PAC?s criteria for supporting incumbents: they are in leadership position and have demonstrated support for libraries. People for Oregon Libraries PAC has a current balance of $1,993.93. The PAC will make more campaign contributions in 2014 because it is an election year. Is the PAC?s financial information public? Yes! As PAC treasurer, Nan Heim reports all contributions and expenditures to the Secretary of State, as required by state law. Only those who contribute $100 or more to the PAC are identified by name. To see People for Oregon Libraries PAC reports, visit the Secretary of State?s web site: sos.oregon.gov/elections. Click on Elections, then on Follow the Money in ORESTAR. Next click on Search for Committee by Name. Enter People for Oregon Libraries. Finally, click on Campaign Finance Activity at the bottom.

Remember everyone, individuals can donate up to $50 to a political cause (such as People for Oregon Libraries) a year, $100 for a married couple. Your donation is a tax CREDIT, meaning that if you pay any Oregon State Income tax, you can reduce your tax bill by the amount of your donation. Which means a donation is practically free. (I was told by an accountant last year that we are supposed to add our contribution back in as income, which, taxed at the 9% state income tax rate means a $50 contribution really only costs you $4.50.) Let's get some money in the kitty! Only 12 of us have contributed this year...over 1,000 of us have not. Make your contribution by Dec 31. We may not be able to 'buy votes', but we can support candidates that support libraries. The purpose of this law is to provide a method for publicly financed elections in Oregon. Contributing to People for Oregon Libraries and other political action committees isn't a run-around of tax law or a shady deal, it is a way established by the legislature for everyone to participate in the political process.

In January, the Statewide Database Licensing Program will begin the transition to LearningExpress Library Version 3.0. What is LearningExpress Library? LearningExpress Library helps students and adult learners improve the skills required for academic and career success. The LearningExpress Library(tm) platform provides a comprehensive selection of educational resources for basic skills mastery, academic success, job preparation, and career advancement. Popular software tutorials, Internet instruction and basic computer instruction are also included. Upgraded features in LearningExpress Library 3.0 include a sleek new format and user interface that provides easier access to content. Centers-a collection of related materials organized around a theme or classification of user including: * School Center (grades 4-12) * College Center * GED(r) Test Prep Center * College Preparation Center * Career Center * Adult Learning Center * Recursos para Hispanhoblantes (Spanish) Centers Patrons can search and access tutorials before signing into and downloading content to their secure personalized portfolios, "My Center." The new test preparation features includes learner, exam, and simulation modes. These timed and untimed practice modes, in which the user can view answers during testing, and practice in untimed mode to learn the material and in timed modes to improve test readiness, help students and adults prepare for a wide range of academic exams-such as the GED(r) test, COOP, HSPT(r), SAT*, ACT(r), AP*, PSAT/NMSQT*, ACCUPLACER(r), ASSET(r), and COMPASS(r), career certification tests such as NCLEX-RN(r), Praxis I(r) and II(r), and more, and build skills in math, reading, writing, and basic sciences. How Does the Upgrade Impact Users? The update of LearningExpress Library and the shift to a new platform requires users to re-register their accounts. Accounts from LearningExpress 2.0 will not be carried over to the new version. Users should be encouraged to finish their work in Version 2.0, re-register their account in Version 3.0, and start new work in Version 3.0. In addition, all new content added to LearningExpress Library, including materials for the 2014 GED Test, will only be available in Version 3.0. How Will the Transition Work? In early January, the State Library will provide custom URLs to libraries to access the new Version 3.0. Libraries will have the following options * Immediately replace their current LearningExpress Library link with the URL to the new version * Provide links to both Version 2.0 and Version 3.0 simultaneously, encouraging current users to finish up their current work in Version 2.0. Libraries that access LearningExpress Library through OSLIS will have the option of accessing both versions through June 2014. Please note: Access to Version 2.0 will be only be supported through June 2014 How Do I Learn More about Version 3.0? LearningExpress Library provides regularly scheduled webinars specifically on the new features of 3.0. Please go to their product training site to register. [http://www.learningexpressllc.com/support/webinars/home.cfm]The next scheduled live session is December 18, 2013. There are also recorded videos introducing Version 3.0 available at: http://www.learningexpresshub.com/learningexpresslibrary/user-guides Promotional materials for Version 3.0 are available at: http://www.learningexpresshub.com/center-administrator More Questions?

Message-ID: <52A6F7700200002400031A27@ncs-do.lincolncity.org> Has anyone purchased a people counter/foot traffic counter recently that they are very happy with? Our old Walker Wireless counter bit the dust, and the replacement, a Traf-Sys OmniCounter, turned out to be less than stellar -- the main issue (other than reliability) was that instead of having buttons to check and reset the foot count, it required the use of a magnetic wand, and that didn't work particularly well. We ended up sending it back because we couldn't get reliable data from it. I'm looking for something very simple to use that is, ideally, battery powered. Any suggestions?

Just in time for the holidays, a new Pew Internet report regarding libraries has been published, "How Americans Value Public Libraries in Their Communities". Executive Summary: Americans strongly value the role of public libraries in their communities, both for providing access to materials and resources and for promoting literacy and improving the overall quality of life. Most Americans say they have only had positive experiences at public libraries, and value a range of library resources and services.

The time has come! It has arrived! Just in time for the holidays, I give to you the Teen Video Challenge for 2014! Using the forms attached, you can encourage the teens in your library to create a video at least 30 seconds long and no more than 90 seconds in length that promotes reading and the library for Summer Reading next year. The theme: Science! The slogan: Spark a Reaction! The entry deadline: February 14! As your OYAN CSLP Liaison, I have the honor of coordinating CSLP's Teen Video Challenge for our glorious state of Oregon. I will post entries to the Oregon TVC YouTube channel, where anyone can vote on them by "Like"-ing their favorites. Voting will be open through March 7. I have submitted the Oregon entry form to CSLP for posting on their website. It doesn't appear there yet, but it should do so before long. In the meantime, feel free to reproduce these forms and distribute them to your young auteurs. One of the best parts of the CSLP Annual Meeting last year was the screening of all the states' TVC videos. I can't wait to see what Oregon's teen film-makers produce this year!

Message-ID: http://www.districtdispatch.org/2013/12/lull-e-rate-action/ A lull in the E-rate action? Posted on December 12, 2013 by Marijke Visser If there is such a thing, this may be a quiet period for the ongoing E-rateproceeding that officially started in July with the FCC's releaseof the E-rate Notice of Proposed Rulemaking now that the official comment periods are over. The path getting from point A (the NPRM release) to point B (an FCC order), is a long one. While there may appear to be a lull in the action, this is the period when the end product is truly shaped out of the broad range of recommendations; arguably, the most critical time of an FCC proceeding. Backing up to the November 8 reply comment deadline, it is gratifying to see the number of library comments filed. Among them: the Idaho Commission for Libraries, the Illinois State Library, the Kentucky Department of Libraries, the West Virginia Library Commission; libraries that filed in collaboration with other city of state agencies such as the Chicago Public Library, the Free Library of Philadelphia, the Alaska State Library, the Hawaii State Public Library System, the State Library of New York; COSLA (Chief Officers of State Library Agencies) and the Urban Libraries Council. Libraries also were well-represented in comments from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Knight Foundation. Filling the record with these substantive comments on critical library issues adds tremendous value to our own ALA comments. Commenters overwhelmingly agree that for libraries to provide community services, the E-rate program must be fully funded immediately and also take into account the trend for applicants to seek increased bandwidth speeds where they are available. Commenters filed on the lack of affordable options for high-capacity broadband where it is available, specifically in rural areas but also in areas that serve the urban poor. These comments also build on previous library comments filed during the initial round providing the Commission with additional library-specific information in a proceeding that has pulled stakeholders out of a much broader pool than in previous E-rate proceedings. After the September 16 and November 8 deadlines, work continues but slightly less visibly in the form of individual meetings with Commissioners, their staffs, and with the Wireline Bureau E-rate team. Evidence of the ongoing work shows up in ex partefilings. To date there are over 80 of these records of individual meetings on commenters' issues, questions, clarifications, additional data, and other information, all of which is included in the final record that makes up an FCC order, the end result of a rulemaking. ALA, for instance, recently metwith the Wireline Bureau E-rate team, Commissioner Rosenworcel and her Wireline legal advisor, Christi Barnhardt, and Nick Degani, Wireline legal advisor to Commissioner Pai. During these meetings, we further described the two-prong approach we advocate for ensuring libraries have the high-capacity broadband they need. First, we seek an immediate infusion of funding to the E-rate program for build-out in areas where high-capacity broadband is not available to libraries and schools. This temporary program, "ConnectUS," builds on the President's ConnectED initiative. Second, ALA proposes a pilot program, "FINAL," targeted to libraries where capacity is available but where costs inhibit them from taking advantage of higher speeds. In the coming weeks we plan to further develop these two concepts and have been seeking input from members of the Washington Office telecommunications subcommittee, the E-rate Task Force and other library leaders. (We also have a running list of additional questions from the FCC for which we are gathering examples from the library community). In addition to meeting on our own, we have meetings with our coalitions, SHLB (the Schools, Health and Library Broadband Coalition-see their ex parte filings on apps.fcc.gov) and EdLiNC (the Education and Library Networks Coalition). We anticipate another round of ex parte meetings, likely to continue up until that indeterminate deadline when the Commission announces it will put an order up for vote during an open Commission meeting. So is there really a lull in the E-rate action? Apparently not. http://www.districtdispatch.org/2013/12/lull-e-rate-action/ -- *Diedre Conkling* *Lincoln County Library DistrictP.O.

Register at https://oregonconnect.ilinc.com/register/kbtvmbh Description: The LITA ? Mobile Computing IG is pleased to host the following presentations at its upcoming virtual meeting: 1. Responsive Introduction/Overview Presenter: Brad Czerniak Web design has been a tumultuous 20-year journey. Along the way, it has seen battles for standards, competing platforms, and exciting innovations ? all in the name of delivering the best possible sites to users. In this presentation, Brad (the developer of possibly the first responsive library website) will give historical background that puts the shift toward responsive design in context. He will also layout some forward-thinking concepts for where web design and development are heading in the near future. Responsive sites: http://www.cantonpl.org http://www.commercialprogression.com http://www.codemichigan.com 2. Your Library, Anywhere: A Modern, Responsive Library Catalogue at University of Toronto Libraries Presenters: Bilal Khalid, Gordon Belray, Lisa Gayhart With the recent surge in the mobile device market and an ever-expanding patron base with increasingly divergent levels of technical ability, the University of Toronto Libraries embarked on the development of a new catalogue discovery layer to fit the needs of its diverse users. The result: (http://search.library.utoronto.ca) a mobile-friendly, flexible and intuitive web application that brings the full power of a faceted library catalogue to users without compromising quality or performance, employing Responsive Web Design principles. In this talk we will discuss: application development; interface design; and project communications. 3. Maintaining multiple responsive designs with a small staff Presenter: Steve Cherry The Catholic University of America libraries decided to adopt responsive design due to increasing mobile traffic. However, maintaining a unique theme for each site that needed one placed a huge burden on the small team. Steve will discuss some of the tools and techniques used to lessen that burden, allowing CUA Libraries to reuse the majority of code across systems. Responsive sites: http://cuomeka.wrlc.org/ http://cuexhibits.wrlc.org/ http://www.lib.cua.edu/music/ http://www.lib.cua.edu/rarebook/ https://github.com/sccherry/middleman-styleguide 4. Re-coding for Responsive Design: Tips, Tricks and Traps Presenter: Alicia Virtue This presentation is an overview of the strategies used to adapt and implement responsive design for the Santa Rosa Junior College library website (http://www.santarosa.edu/library). The SRJC library website serves as the main interface for student research and as the primary instructional tool for approximately 40 information literacy classes a semester. A discussion of the challenges faced in introducing multi-browser, multi-screen size performance while adhering to the College's visual design requirements will include strategies taken to implement consistent navigation across mobile phones, tablets and desktop interfaces as well use of media queries for presentation of text and graphics. Highlights of some of the tools used to showcase and feature library resources across multiple device and display sizes will be addressed, including use of adaptive slide shows, carousels, lightboxes and other jquery-based tools. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Follow-up from 2012 survey Mobile technologies are having a growing impact in libraries. Vendors including EBSCO, Gale, OCLC, and others are increasingly developing for the mobile market. We are in a period of transition; some libraries already provide extensive mobile services, while others are deciding where to begin. Many librarians are developing mobile literacy skills to better serve users. As part of our effort to better understand the current state of mobile technologies in libraries, we are again surveying public, academic, and other libraries in Oregon, Washington and Idaho. Thank you for filling out our short survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/PJD35FX , which should take about 10 minutes. Please fill out the survey by Wednesday, December 18, 2013. Results will be presented at the Online Northwest Conference, February 7, 2014, and subsequently online. 2014 results will be compared with 2012 results to see what changes, if any, have occurred in mobile use in Northwest libraries during that time.

Lanham, MD: AltaMira Press, 2013. 025.3414 isbn 978-0759119727 For volunteers or staff at small organizations, collections management can be a daunting task. Archives for the Lay Person is a guidebook for people who care for historical records, photographs, and collections but do not have the appropriate professional training. Lois Hamill provides practical, step-by-step guidance for managing all facets of archival collections, from acquisition, arrangement, and description to storage and security. The book also offers advice on how to utilize PastPerfect software for collections database management. [book2.jpg]Carmicheal, David W. Organizing Archival Records: A Practical Method of Arrangement and Description for Small Archives (American Association for State and Local History) 3rd ed. Lanham, MD: AtlaMira Press, 2012. 025.1714 Carmi, 3rd ed. isbn 978-0759121690 Many of our nation's historical records reside in small historical societies, libraries, cultural organizations, houses of worship, and museums. The hard work of non-professional archivists is to thank for preserving much of our documentary heritage. Organizing Archival Records equips non-professional archivists with the skills to tackle one of the most challenging tasks of archiving: arranging and describing archival materials. Carmicheal offers step-by-step guidance to understanding the purpose of organization and the essentials of how to do it. He covers the basic terms and theory of organization, and how to avoid some common pitfalls. Carmichael brings this third edition into the 21st century with extended discussions about computerizing the process, making descriptions available on the web, and organizing electronic records. With real-world examples, exercises, and step-by-step directions, anyone can organize archival materials in a professional manner. Organizing Archival Records is an excellent resource for both computerized and manual organization and recordkeeping.

Up to 25 "attendees" (each attendee is a computer in a single location, in which you may as many people in your room with which you are comfortable) may attend remotely. If you are a teacher or librarian who would like to sit-in on the workshop to see if it is something you'd like to do in future years, you may also register to attend.

In a smaller room, the speakers and microphone built into a laptop may suffice. However, if your group requires more space, please consider using an external speakers and microphone. Being able to plug into a cable connection with a data cable is also preferred, as wireless can cause a lag which may create sound echoes. If you will be an individual attendee, a set of headphones will suffice. If you wish to converse with the rest of the attendees, you will also need some kind of microphone.

(2013) Serving Grandfamilies in Libraries: A Handbooks and Programming Guide. New York: Scarecrow Press. Gough, Feehan, and Lyons have taken everything learned from their research on developing GrandFamily Resource Collections and leading grandfamily programming in several states and put it in this easy to use guide. They share the successes and failures of existing programs so other librarians can hit the ground running rather than trudge through a time-consuming and costly period of trial-and-error. It's a lot more efficient to learn from someone else's mistakes than to make your own. The target population, grandfamilies, and most specifically, grandparents raising grandchildren have become a statistically-significant group worthy of attention in many communities but library practitioners may not have explored further due to a lack of resources and money. Special features include: List of Web resources (government agencies, support groups, etc.) * List of grants and funding opportunities * Sample grant applications * List of possible community partners for the library * Sample surveys or some tactic for getting to know the needs of one's target population * Sample marketing plans * Sample promotional materials * Sample activity sheets * Sample release forms, etc. With this practical and comprehensive guide, your library will be ready to jumpstart or easily expand a stellar program for the grandfamilies in your community.

Oregonians who submitted complete applications by December 4 have a little more time to enroll in private health insurance coverage effective Jan. 1, 2014. Cover Oregon announced today that these consumers now have until December 27 at 5:00 P.M. to choose a health plan and notify Cover Oregon of their selections, under an agreement reached with insurance carriers. We know that you are working hard to assist new applicants, and to help private-plan enrollees navigate through the enrollment process. To supplement your efforts, Cover Oregon will be holding Enrollment Fairs in three cities on December 19, 20, and 21. Our hope is that this additional channel for enrollment assistance will allow consumers to take advantage of the extra enrollment time. If you would like to participate in one of the Enrollment Fairs, please let us know, but we understand that your workload is already heavy. The Enrollment Fairs will be organized around plan-selection services for those already determined eligible for private plans. As such, there is no need to advertise these widely, but if one of the events is in your area, do not hesitate to send any customer who you know has received a determination for a private plan. More on the events: Bend: Thursday, December 19, 2013 from 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM 3075 U.S. 97 Business Bend, OR 97701 Register here: http://bit.ly/19n5J95 Eugene: Friday, December 20, 2013 from 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM Lane Community College 4000 E 30th Ave, Eugene, OR 9740 Eugene, OR 97405 Register here: http://bit.ly/1bCUCF3 Portland: Saturday, December 21, 2013 from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM Doubletree Portland 1000 NE Multnomah Street Portland, OR 97232 Register here: http://bit.ly/1dcaVeP Customers are encouraged to bring their enrollment packet with them if they've received it, but if they have learned through an email or a call that they are eligible for a private plan, we will still be able to assist them. Another development gives current OMIP enrollees some extra time as well. The Oregon Health Authority announced today that remaining members of the Oregon Medical Insurance Pool will be moved to a temporary program that will allow them to keep health insurance coverage until they get enrolled in a new plan.

Reforms to the National Security Agency's massive unconstitutional surveillance program may soon be underway. For the first time ever, the surveillance reform debate can be enjoined in all branches of government. "The District Court ruling is the first time that a court or government agency has questioned the constitutionality of the surveillance program since news of the NSA phone collecting program leaked in June," said American Library Association President Barbara Stripling. "While we applaud the Court's ruling that the program is unconstitutional, we know that more work needs to be done. We continue to encourage library supporters to support the USA Freedom Act." Executive Branch Late this afternoon, President Obama's Review Group on Intelligence and Communications Technologies released a report calling for transparency, online security tools, and organizational reforms to the NSA. Legislative Branch Today, the American Library Association joined more than 50 businesses, civil liberties and public interest groups in opposing the FISA Improvements Act, a bill that seeks to legalize and extend NSA mass surveillance programs. Opposers to the bill include the American Civil Liberties Union, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, PEN American Center, TechFreedom, and others. Judicial Branch This week, the D.C. District Court judge ruled that the National Security Agency's surveillance practices on millions of unsuspecting Americans may be unconstitutional. In the ruling, U.S. District Court Judge Richard Leon found the surveillance practices to be an "indiscriminate" and "arbitrary invasion" of personal data on Americans. In addition to finding that the program violates First and Fourth Amendments guaranteed by the Constitution, Judge Leon also examined the ineffectiveness of the NSA program in preventing terrorism. The American Library Association--an organization dedicated to protecting civil liberties including First amendment and privacy rights--has called for more government transparency and public accountability. http://www.districtdispatch.org/2013/12/nsa-surveillance-examined-3-branches/ ------------------------ And this is a rare comment on one of these postings from me. I applaud ALA's actions in this area but we really could have gone much further. ALA Membership and ALA Council passed this resolution at the ALA 2013 Conference, Resolution in Support of Whistleblower Edward Snowden (CD #39: http://www.ala.org/aboutala/sites/ala.org.aboutala/files/content/governance/council/council_documents/2013_annual_council_docs/cd_39_edward_snowden-%28ff%29.pdf ). This Resolution was then overturned and replaced with this resolution, "Resolution on the Need for Reforms for the Intelligence Community to Support Privacy, Open Government, Government Transparency, and Accountability" which is found the the Committee on Legislation report (CD 20.4) ( http://www.ala.org/aboutala/sites/ala.org.aboutala/files/content/governance/council/council_documents/2013_annual_council_docs/cd_20_3_COL%20report%20FINAL.pdf) and in the Intellectual Freedom Committee report (CD #19.2) ( http://www.ala.org/aboutala/sites/ala.org.aboutala/files/content/governance/council/council_documents/2013_annual_council_docs/cd_19_1_ifc_report%20%28final%29.pdf ). The replacement resolution was a fine resolution but was not much different from many of the resolutions previously passed by ALA Council. It also, once again, put ALA in the position of not actually supporting an individual whistleblower by name. -- *Diedre Conkling* *Lincoln County Library DistrictP.O.

A few years ago, attorneys representing the Ravens contacted the ALA to ask for support of their position. They figured that libraries would care about preservation, First Amendment, and fair use, so they gave us a call. The case was an interesting one involving the old logo of the Ravens team ("the flying B"). When the Ravens asked fans to submit ideas for their new logo, Bouchat obliged providing a copy of an original logo he sketched. The Ravens then did something rather stupid and just went ahead and used the logo without compensating Bouchat. Soon after, the Ravens changed their logo to the one we see today (a shooting B on a raven's head) and compensated Bouchat avoiding a expensive court battle. But Bouchat came back to court asking for more compensation in addition to a thorough scrub of history. He wanted any image, photograph, or old Baltimore Raven football helmets laying around with the old Ravens logo removed from Baltimore Ravens headquarters and from any film or television footage in which it appeared-essentially make it disappear. This is when ALA with the Library Copyright Allianceultimately submitted "a friend of the court" briefon behalf of the Ravens arguing that history should be preserved and that a decision on behalf of Bouchat would negatively impact the First Amendment rights of documentary filmmakers and was a fair use. The other good thing that happened this week occurred in Geneva, where the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO ) is meeting to discuss international copyright. Guess what they are talking about?! Library exceptions to copyright (at this point, preservation). Just thinking about this makes me shake my head in disbelief. WIPO, a United Nations agency, is known for its support of maximalist copyright... and today they are talking about libraries (and archives). They are *actually*considering that libraries around the world should have special privileges under international copyright law. WOW! Of course, supporters of library exceptions can expect the developed nations of WIPO and representatives from the content industries to be ready with stern rebuttals. Rights holders see these exceptions as slowly clipping away at their exclusive rights. In addition, authors have come to the session, asserting that they do not want WIPO to make decisions that they do not support. http://www.districtdispatch.org/2013/12/good-week-libraries-copyright/ -- *Diedre Conkling* *Lincoln County Library DistrictP.O.

In 2014 we are convening a task force to re-imagine the Ready to Read Grant program.

The task force will meet for the first time in January and submit a proposal to the Oregon State Library Board of Trustees in April. The proposed new grant program will then go through the State Library's budget process and the 2015 legislative session. If passed, it will replace the Ready to Read Grant program and launch sometime soon after July 1, 2015. Reimagining Ready to Read project timeline: * January 2014: Convene a task force to develop a proposal to align the Ready to Read Grant with the three library youth services best practices and 40-40-20. * January-March 2014: The task force will seek feedback from the public library community at least once. * April 2014: Submit final proposal to the Oregon State Library's Budget Committee. * June or August 2014: Oregon State Library Board of Trustees approves the State Library's budget and submits it to the Governor's office-the State Library budget will include the proposal. * December 2014: The Governor's budget is released-including the State Library's budget. * Spring 2015: The State Library's budget goes through the regular legislative process. * July 2015: The new grant program will launch, replacing the current Ready to Read Grant program.

Remember, individuals can donate up to $50 to a political cause (such as People for Oregon Libraries) a year, $100 for a married couple. Your donation is a tax CREDIT, meaning that if you pay any Oregon State Income tax, you can reduce your tax bill by the amount of your donation. Essentially, you are saying "I want $50 of my state taxes dedicated to taxpayer supporter elections" and it is. You aren't paying $50 extra, you are essentially saying "use $50 of my tax money for this political purpose." What a deal, and what a great way individuals can respond to organizations whose hands have been freed to make big anonymous contributions. Here is a document from our State Library that has some specifics about the credit. The Oregon Department of Revenue has an interesting website with data about these tax-credited contributions to political activities, and to another tax credit program, the "Oregon Cultural Trust." It shows which counties have high contribution rates, average amounts, and income of those who tend to contribute. https://olis.leg.state.or.us/liz/2013R1/Downloads/CommitteeMeetingDocument/4517 Please make your contribution to People for Oregon Libraries by Dec 31. We may not be able to 'buy votes', but we can support candidates that support libraries. There are many ways to contribute. For online, go to https://rally.org/peoplefororegonlibrariespac/donate If you prefer, mail your check to People for Oregon Libraries PAC, c/o Nan Heim, 833 SW 11th Ave., #315, Portland OR 97205. If you contribute before December 31, you can take your contribution as a credit on your 2013 tax return, up to $100 on a joint return and $50 on a single return.

Tweet us your questions on Jan. 7th Posted on December 30, 2013 by Jazzy Wright Can you legally photocopy pages from that textbook? Can students legally remix music for school assignments? What does fair use mean, and how can it be applied in the school library or classroom? If you are a school librarian or educator who is confused by copyright law, you're not alone. School principals, superintendents, educators and librarians have specific questions about copyright law but often find themselves without guidance on the subject. On January 7, 2014, from 6:00-7:00p.m. EST, school leaders will have the opportunity to have their questions answered during an interactive tweetchat with copyright expert and bestselling author Carrie Russell. Participants can submit questions and take part in the free tweetchat by using the #k12copylaw hashtag. As part of the tweetchat, Russell will offer clear guidance on the ways that principals, superintendents, teachers and librarians can legally provide materials to students. Additionally, Russell will discuss scenarios often encountered by educators in schools, such as using digital works in the classroom and students' use of information found on the web. Russell is also the director of the American Library Association's Program on Public Access to Information. Tweetchat participants will learn about: - Fair use - Copyright law in the digital age - Copyright exploitation in schools (i.e., incidents when copyright industry groups exploit school staff under the guise of copyright law compliance) Russell is the author of *Complete Copyright for K-12 Librarians and Educators* , a book that teaches educators how to fully exercise rights such as fair use while making decisions that are both lawful and best serve the learning community. To receive a 10% discount on *Complete Copyright* (20% for ALA members), use the coupon codeCC2014 before January 15, 2014.

Together they are offering all Oregonians free access to myON books through September November 15th December 20th January 31st with the goal of encouraging reading in the summer. Content includes nearly 4,000 books, materials are for PK-12th grade, 70% are nonfiction, some are in Spanish, all can be read independently or listened to, and users can access them from the website or download a free Apple or Android app. There is one universal login that anyone in Oregon can use.

To: Oregon Educators Re: Oregon Summer Reading Opportunity: Free Online Books for Summer Reading on myON! There is little that impacts student success as much as strong literacy skills, and we are pleased to invite you, your children, and your community to join our statewide efforts to develop a culture of reading in Oregon. ODE is partnering with organizations including schools, libraries, Boys & Girls Clubs, scout troops, schools, faith-based organizations, United Way and other non-profits statewide to promote reading over the summer months. Join us by including reading within your summer programs this year. Thanks to a new partnership with myON BOOKS, students and their families across the state will have unlimited access to thousands of digital books on myON, giving families an opportunity to share rich, grade-appropriate, literacy experiences together regardless of socioeconomic status, access to a local library, or whether or not there is a proficient reader in the home. Through this summer partnership, Oregon students and families can access: * More than 3,000 digital books from Capstone and additional publishing partners, ranging from illustrated and picture books to chapter books, graphic novels, literary non-fiction, photo and informational texts spanning multiple eras and cultures. * Capstone imprints include Capstone Press, Heinemann-Raintree, Picture Window Books, Compass Point Books and Stone Arch Books. * Digital books from the following publishing partners will also be available: August House Little Folk/ Story Cove, Bellwether, Hothouse, Mikaya Press, Orca, Reference Point, Saddleback and Sylvan-Dell. * The collection includes 70% nonfiction, 10% Spanish or dual language, 20% high interest books for struggling readers, and is continually growing. * A wide range of titles and topics provides varying levels of text complexity and supports close reading in a range of genres and content areas, including history/social studies, science and technical works. * Users can read the books independently or listen to them, and they can choose whether or not to have sentences highlighted while in narration mode. * Through a secure environment, students have unlimited access to the entire digital library, within the parameters set by the Oregon Department of Education. We are encouraging all of our readers to read anything that interests them -including graphic novels, non-fiction books, magazines and newspapers- whether online or in print. We suggest that they: * Read with someone * Read to someone * Share with someone what he/she has read * Listen to someone read * Help others read * Read independently The Oregon summer reading partnership with myON will be available at NO COST until September 15, 2013.

What makes this unique is that we can repay the bonds using incoming library funding and therefore this measure will have no impact on taxes. Has anyone done a ballot measure like this wherein the voters are approving the debt but are not being asked for more money to pay for the debt? If so, could you get in touch with me?

Other findings include: * In fall 2012, Title IV institutions enrolled 18.2 million undergraduate and 2.9 million graduate students. Of the 18.2 million undergraduates, 58 percent were enrolled in 4-year institutions, 40 percent in 2-year institutions, and 2 percent in less-than-2-year institutions. * In fiscal year 2012, public 4-year institutions and administrative offices received 21 percent of their revenues from tuition and fees, compared with 39 percent at private nonprofit entities and 89 percent at private for-profit entities. Additionally, 29 percent of expenses at public 4-year entities were for instruction, compared with 42 percent at public 2-year entities and 50 percent at public less-than-2-year entities. * Approximately 59 percent of full-time, first-time students at 4-year institutions in 2006 who were seeking a bachelor's or equivalent degree completed a bachelor's or equivalent degree within 6 years at the institution where they began their studies.

The Digest provides a compilation of statistical information covering the broad field of American education from prekindergarten through graduate school. Highlights from this year's report include the following: * The percentage of adults 25 years old and over who had completed at least high school increased from 84 percent in 2002 to 88 percent in 2012. The percentage of adults 25 years old and over who had completed a bachelor's or higher degree increased from 27 percent to 31 percent. * In 2011, about 64 percent of 3- to 5-year-olds were enrolled in preprimary education (nursery school and kindergarten), the same as the percentage in 2000. However, the percentage of children in full-day programs increased from 53 percent in 2000 to 59 percent in 2011. * In fall 2010, White and Asian first-time kindergartners had higher average reading and mathematics scores than their Black, Hispanic, and American Indian/Alaska Native counterparts. First-time kindergartners from families with high socioeconomic status (SES) had higher average scores than children from low-SES families. * Between 2001 and 2011, college enrollment increased 32 percent, from 15.9 million to 21.0 million. Much of this growth was in full-time enrollment; the number of full-time students rose 38 percent, while the number of part-time students rose 23 percent.

In 2014 we are convening a task force to re-imagine the Ready to Read Grant program. The goal is to better align the grant program with library youth services best practices and the 40-40-20 education goal. The task force will meet for the first time in January and submit a proposal to the Oregon State Library Board of Trustees in April. The proposed new grant program will then go through the State Library's budget process and the 2015 legislative session. If passed, it will replace the Ready to Read Grant program and launch sometime soon after July 1, 2015. Reimagining Ready to Read project timeline: * January 2014: Convene a task force to develop a proposal to align the Ready to Read Grant with the three library youth services best practices and 40-40-20. * January-March 2014: The task force will seek feedback from the public library community at least once. * April 2014: Submit final proposal to the Oregon State Library's Budget Committee. * June or August 2014: Oregon State Library Board of Trustees approves the State Library's budget and submits it to the Governor's office-the State Library budget will include the proposal. * December 2014: The Governor's budget is released-including the State Library's budget. * Spring 2015: The State Library's budget goes through the regular legislative process. * July 2015: The new grant program will launch, replacing the current Ready to Read Grant program.
