Reminder: Letters About Literature Contest Entries Due January 11th Letters About Literature is a national reading and writing contest sponsored by the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress. Students write letters to an author explaining how that author's book changed their way of thinking about the world or themselves. There are three competition levels: Level I for 4th-6th graders, Level II for 7th-8th graders, and Level III for 9th-10th graders. Oregon's three winners -- one from each competition level -- will go on to compete nationally. Entry forms and guidelines are available online. All entries must be postmarked January 11, 2013.

Chicago: ALA, 2012. 025.3 Hider isbn 978-0-8389-1201-0 This book serves as a primer on information and knowledge organization, with particular reference to digital environments. It introduces the conventions and standards of contemporary document description, and the principles and trends of professional practice. Employing the unifying mechanism of the semantic web and the resource description framework, Hider integrates the various traditions and practices of information and knowledge organization. Uniquely, he covers both the domain-specific traditions and practices and the practices of the "metadata movement" through a single lens-that of resource description in the broadest, semantic web sense. This approach more readily accommodates coverage of the new RDA: Resource Description and Access standard, which aims to move library cataloging into the center of the semantic web. This book brings both the standard and its model and concepts into focus, covering such key topics as: * Information resource attributes * Metadata for information retrieval * Metadata sources and quality * Economics and management of metadata * Knowledge organization systems * The semantic web * Books and e-books, and websites and audiovisual resources * Business and government documents * Learning resources * The field of information/knowledge organization This comprehensive introduction to information resource description is essential reading for LIS students taking information organization courses at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, information professionals wishing to specialize in metadata, and existing metadata specialists who wish to update their knowledge. Be sure to check out our Library and Information Science (LIS) blog (http://osl-lis.blogspot.com/) to discover the most recent additions to our LIS collection and search our catalog (http://oregon.gov/OSL/index.shtml) for our complete holdings. The library science collection is meant to support the whole Oregon library community.

URL: From reading at librifoundation.org Wed Jan 2 15:44:41 2013 From: reading at librifoundation.org (The Libri Foundation) Date: Wed, 02 Jan 2013 15:44:41 -0800 Subject: [Libs-Or] Grant Opportunity for Rural Public Libraries In-Reply-To: <50E4C639.7070506@librifoundation.org> References: <50E4C639.7070506@librifoundation.org> Message-ID: <50E4C669.8050104@librifoundation.org> FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 2013 The Libri Foundation is currently accepting applications for its 2013 BOOKS FOR CHILDREN grants. 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. Application deadlines for 2013 are: (postmarked by) January 23rd, and May 15th. Grants are awarded January 31st and May 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. If you want your books in time for your summer reading program, please apply for a January grant. May grant recipients may not receive their books until after most summer reading programs are over. Please DO NOT waste money sending your application by Express 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.

Topics range from technology (new tech and old tech) to programming to partnering with your community. Come for the programs on what you're dealing with now or maybe try something new. Everyone is welcome to register and attend, regardless of how big or small their library is, but if your library serves a few thousand people, or a few hundred, this is the day for you. You will find the announcement on the conference site at http://nlcblogs.nebraska.gov/bigtalk/2013/01/04/2013-registration-now-open/ The deadline for program proposals is January, 7, so if you have a great idea, be sure to send in a proposal.

It's fast, free and easy for federal benefit check recipients to sign up for direct deposit or the Direct Express(r) Debit MasterCard(r) card by calling the U.S. Treasury Electronic Payment Solution Center at (800) 333-1795 Monday - Friday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. EST. Urge senior citizens, people with disabilities and other federal benefit check recipients to call now to avoid delays near the deadline. For direct deposit, they can also sign up online at www.GoDirect.org or by visiting their local bank or credit union. Get Involved - Spread the Word Do not miss this final opportunity to help the people you serve make the switch today. The Treasury Department's Go Direct(r) campaign offers free materials to make it easy for your library to help. Here's what you can do: * Display free Go Direct campaign and Direct Express(r) card materials in your lobby - order free materials through the Go Direct website at: http://godirect.org/partners/order-materials/ * Link to www.GoDirect.org from your website. * Share the Go Direct Public Service Announcement and educational videos and fliers to help people understand why electronic payments are safer than paper checks and how to keep their money safe. * Embed the Go Direct "Time Is Running Out" widget on your website. * Encourage the people you serve who currently get federal benefit checks to make the switch to electronic payments today. Inform People of their Options The U.S. Department of the Treasury recommends two electronic payments options: * Direct deposit. People with checking or savings accounts can sign up to get their money by direct deposit. Their federal benefit payment will go straight into their account on payment day each month. On time, every time. * Direct Express(r) card. Those who don't have a bank account or prefer a prepaid debit card should switch to the Direct Express(r) card. Money will be posted to the card account on payment day each month. There's no need to wait for the mail or to make a special trip to cash a check. Cardholders can make purchases and get cash back with purchases at no charge anywhere Debit MasterCard(r) is accepted. There are no sign-up fees, overdraft fees or monthly fees. Some fees for optional services may apply. For information on card fees and features, visit www.GoDirect.org. People who do not choose an electronic payment option by March 1, 2013, may be issued a Direct Express(r) card. Promote the Safety Benefits of Electronic Payments Electronic payments are safer than paper checks. In fact, people are 125 times more likely to have a problem with a paper check than with an electronic payment. Even though electronic payments are safer, it's important that people take steps to keep their money safe. Once people have made the switch, share these three tips recommended by the Treasury Department: * Be careful of anyone who calls, texts or emails asking for personal information. * Protect personal information. Do not give out your Social Security number or account information to anyone unless you are the one who has contacted them. * Watch your bank or credit union account or Direct Express(r) card account often to make sure that all account activity is yours. The Treasury Department's Go Direct(r) campaign provides free materials to help you share this important information in your library outlets. For more details or to order free materials, contact Michelle Kloempken, your campaign representative, at 312-988-2035, mkloempken at webershandwick.com OR visit http://www.godirect.org/partners/order-materials/.

Attached (and copied below) is an invitation letter that was mailed to all public and academic library directors in November. The letter contains information about planning for Oregon Reads 2014 and a form for libraries thinking about participating to complete and submit by January 15, 2014. A firm commitment is not required, the Committee just wants to get an idea how many libraries are interested and thinking about participating for our planning purposes. If your director hasn't already talked with staff at your library about Oregon Reads 2014, please start the conversation.

The program was a phenomenal success, with 80,000 Oregonians participating in community reading programs throughout the state. In 2014, OLA is going to do it again. This time we are going to celebrate the centennial of Oregon's most celebrated poet, William Stafford. OLA will be joining with many other organizations throughout the state in this centennial celebration. Our goal is to once again involve 80,000 Oregonians in Oregon Reads 2014, in communities and on campuses throughout the state. This letter is your invitation to have your library take part in Oregon Reads 2014. Who Was William Stafford? William Stafford was born in Hutchinson, Kansas, in 1914, and died at his home in Lake Oswego, in 1993, at the age of 79. Between 1960 and 1993, William Stafford wrote more than 60 published collections of poetry and prose, including 12 full-length books of poems. Stafford's first book of poetry, West of Your City, was published in 1960 when he was 46 years old. His second, Traveling Through the Dark, won the National Book Award in 1963. All but one of his books was written in Oregon. When William Stafford died in 1993, the poet Robert Bly predicted that, "Bill's poetry will be more widely read in the next century than in this one." William Stafford was also an influential and beloved teacher of writing. He served as Poetry Consultant to the Library of Congress (the post now known as United States Poet Laureate) during 1970-71 and as Poet Laureate of Oregon from 1975 through 1989. Stafford grew up during the Great Depression in central and southwest Kansas, with an appreciation for nature, the Great Plains, and books. As a pacifist and conscientious objector during World War II, Stafford did alternative service in civilian work camps in Arkansas, California and Illinois. After the war, Stafford worked for the Church World Service relief organization, taught high school and finished his master's degree in English at the University of Kansas. His master's thesis, a memoir of his wartime experience in the civilian work camps, was published as Down in My Heart in 1947 and is still in print from Oregon State University Press. In 1948, Stafford joined the faculty of Lewis & Clark College, where he taught until his retirement in 1980. Stafford's poems tend to be short and deceptively simple. His plain-spoken style invites readers into the poems, which often take unexpected turns toward discovery. His poems are at once quiet and tough-minded, clear and mysterious, open-hearted and sly, serious and funny, witty and down-to-earth. While grounded in day-to-day life and local experience, they also touch on universal concerns, from war and peace to the tension between individual freedom and social responsibility. About Oregon Reads 2014 Oregon Reads 2014 will be modeled closely on our successful Oregon Reads 2009. Oregon libraries will select one or more Stafford-related books and ask everyone in their community to read them and to attend library programs that celebrate them. An important difference between Oregon Reads 2009 and Oregon Reads 2014 is that OLA will not be selecting one book for everyone to read. For Oregon Reads 2014 we will give every library the autonomy to select your own books. We do suggest that libraries select one or more of the following in-print and forthcoming books to use for your community reading program: [cid:image002.jpg at 01CDDA07.4D206F90] Early Morning: Remembering My Father, William Stafford by Kim Stafford Graywolf Press, $16 paperback "As a book written by a son warily loving an enigmatic, elusive father, this is a masterpiece." - Robert Bly Ask Me: 100 Selected Poems by William Stafford (forthcoming) Kim Stafford is currently editing a new selection of 100 best poems by his father that will be published in the fall of 2013. Graywolf Press, $16 paperback [cid:image004.jpg at 01CDDA07.4D206F90] Down in My Heart: Peace Witness in War Time by William Stafford, introduction by Kim Stafford Oregon State University Press, $15.95 paperback "Down in My Heart is not only Stafford's first book, but in some ways it is his most important book because it lays out the radical social and moral code by which he lived his life as a pacifist, a code that underlies every poem he ever wrote." -The Bloomsbury Review [cid:image006.jpg at 01CDDA07.4D206F90] Every War Has Two Losers: William Stafford on Peace and War by William Stafford, edited with an introduction by Kim Stafford Milkweed Editions, $16 paperback "Stafford offers a lifetime of lyrically posed observations postulated from the perspective of a peacemaker. He pricks the thoughtful and intellectual processes of adult and young adult readers to consider alternate solutions in resolving conflicts." - Plainfield Sun About these books, Kim Stafford has said, "These books touch on family, growing up, a sense of place, life-long learning, and the ethical foundations of citizenship, and this program will give library patrons a wide range of interests to pursue. The goal of Oregon Reads is not to study poetry, but rather to use these books in seeking our deeper identity as Oregonians." The Oregon Library Association will support Oregon Reads 2014 by providing a list of speakers who are willing and able to make library appearances in 2014, a website with information and graphics that can be used by participating libraries, and mini-grants to encourage participation by small and rural Oregon public libraries. Mini-grants will range between $500 and $1,000 depending on the size of the library and can be used to support book purchases, speaker costs or promotion of Oregon Reads 2014. What Are We Asking You to Do? Please talk to your staff, and your support groups (Friends, Foundation, etc.) about participating in Oregon Reads 2014. We hope that libraries with their own community reading programs will replace their home-grown program with Oregon Reads in 2014. There is no time designated for Oregon Reads in 2014. You can plan your program for any time in the calendar year. Between now and January 15th, we hope you will decide to participate in Oregon Reads 2014. To participate, you will need to return the attached participation form to the Oregon Reads 2014 Steering Committee. A tentative commitment will be fine, but we need to hear from libraries by January 15th in order to continue to make plans for the statewide reading program. If you are a director of a small, rural library, please indicate if you would be interested in receiving a mini-grant to support your participation. Based on the need, we will be seeking support from Oregon charitable foundations to fund the mini-grants. If you have questions for the Oregon Reads 2014 Steering Committee please feel free to email them to oregonreads2014 at gmail.com and we will answer them promptly. On behalf of the Oregon Library Association, we want to thank you for considering this unique opportunity to engage readers in your community or campus with the life, legacy and works of Oregon's greatest poet.

We do suggest that libraries select one or more of the following in-print and forthcoming books to use for your community reading program: [cid:image002.jpg at 01CDDA07.4D206F90] Early Morning: Remembering My Father, William Stafford by Kim Stafford Graywolf Press, $16 paperback "As a book written by a son warily loving an enigmatic, elusive father, this is a masterpiece." - Robert Bly Ask Me: 100 Selected Poems by William Stafford (forthcoming) Kim Stafford is currently editing a new selection of 100 best poems by his father that will be published in the fall of 2013. Graywolf Press, $16 paperback [cid:image004.jpg at 01CDDA07.4D206F90] Down in My Heart: Peace Witness in War Time by William Stafford, introduction by Kim Stafford Oregon State University Press, $15.95 paperback "Down in My Heart is not only Stafford's first book, but in some ways it is his most important book because it lays out the radical social and moral code by which he lived his life as a pacifist, a code that underlies every poem he ever wrote." -The Bloomsbury Review [cid:image006.jpg at 01CDDA07.4D206F90] Every War Has Two Losers: William Stafford on Peace and War by William Stafford, edited with an introduction by Kim Stafford Milkweed Editions, $16 paperback "Stafford offers a lifetime of lyrically posed observations postulated from the perspective of a peacemaker. He pricks the thoughtful and intellectual processes of adult and young adult readers to consider alternate solutions in resolving conflicts." - Plainfield Sun About these books, Kim Stafford has said, "These books touch on family, growing up, a sense of place, life-long learning, and the ethical foundations of citizenship, and this program will give library patrons a wide range of interests to pursue. The goal of Oregon Reads is not to study poetry, but rather to use these books in seeking our deeper identity as Oregonians." The Oregon Library Association will support Oregon Reads 2014 by providing a list of speakers who are willing and able to make library appearances in 2014, a website with information and graphics that can be used by participating libraries, and mini-grants to encourage participation by small and rural Oregon public libraries. Mini-grants will range between $500 and $1,000 depending on the size of the library and can be used to support book purchases, speaker costs or promotion of Oregon Reads 2014. What Are We Asking You to Do? Please talk to your staff, and your support groups (Friends, Foundation, etc.) about participating in Oregon Reads 2014. We hope that libraries with their own community reading programs will replace their home-grown program with Oregon Reads in 2014. There is no time designated for Oregon Reads in 2014. You can plan your program for any time in the calendar year. Between now and January 15th, we hope you will decide to participate in Oregon Reads 2014. To participate, you will need to return the attached participation form to the Oregon Reads 2014 Steering Committee. A tentative commitment will be fine, but we need to hear from libraries by January 15th in order to continue to make plans for the statewide reading program. If you are a director of a small, rural library, please indicate if you would be interested in receiving a mini-grant to support your participation. Based on the need, we will be seeking support from Oregon charitable foundations to fund the mini-grants. If you have questions for the Oregon Reads 2014 Steering Committee please feel free to email them to oregonreads2014 at gmail.com and we will answer them promptly. On behalf of the Oregon Library Association, we want to thank you for considering this unique opportunity to engage readers in your community or campus with the life, legacy and works of Oregon's greatest poet.

Friday, February 15, 9:00 - 4:00 PCC Sylvania Campus Library, Room 212 12000 Southwest 49th Avenue Portland, OR 97219-7132 Registration for this training will close on Thursday, Feb. 7. This training is for librarians who plan to take shifts staffing L-net's chat, e-mail, and texting service. Librarians will receive hands-on training with L-net?s software and instruction on techniques for communicating effectively online with patrons and providing reference service online. There are two ways to staff L-net: 1 - Partner libraries: Reference staff at Oregon libraries may staff the service as partner libraries. Librarians who do so staff the service at their libraries. 2 - Volunteers: If you?ve completed a Reference class in the past 10 years from an ALA-accredited college or university or if you have experience providing reference services in a library, you may apply to be a volunteer. Volunteers typically staff the service from home computers. If you would like to participate in the volunteer program, contact me for information about how to apply to be a volunteer. The training is free, but space is limited and advance registration is required. If you would like to attend, contact me and let me know if you would like to staff L-net at a partner library or as a volunteer. Emily Papagni, emilyp at multco.us If you?re interested in the training, but unable to attend on these dates, please contact me. I'm continuing to schedule additional trainings around the state. Also, all Oregon libraries are welcome to use L-net software to serve their local communities. Staffing our statewide service is not required. To provide chat, texting, or email service to your community, please contact me for information and to schedule your training.

Our mission is to connect Oregonians to ideas that change lives and transform communities. The Conversation Project offers Oregon nonprofits free, educational public discussion programs about important topics that affect our daily lives such as racial diversity in Oregon, gender and pop music, and alternatives to incarceration, as well as civility and democracy, friendship, the changing news media, and returning veterans? experiences of life after war. Our goal for the Conversation Project is that diverse communities statewide have the opportunity to engage in humanities-based, public conversations that are timely and relevant. Since the program began in 2009, Oregon libraries have hosted fifty percent of all conversations that have taken place across the state! Oregon Humanities is seeking humanities scholars, artists, community leaders, innovators, provocateurs, and other engaged thinkers to be conversation leaders for our 2013-15 season. We are seeking individuals who are smart, passionate about ideas, and curious?who understand the role of the humanities in the public sphere, but who are also teachers at heart, regardless of their day job. We are looking for people who value listening as much as speaking, and who are willing to step out from behind the podium and lead an active conversation among participants rather than simply offering lectures followed by Q&A. Ultimately, we want connectors?those unique individuals who can bring together neighbors and strangers alike in thoughtful, meaningful discussions about ideas that matter. If this sounds like you or someone you know, consider proposing a Conversation Project program! Visit oregonhumanities.org to read the full Request for Proposals and apply online. The application deadline is March 8, 2013. Join OH program staff for a training webinar on how to write a strong Conversation Project proposal. The webinar will take place Wednesday, February 13 at 11:00am.

A grant of $250,000 from the Institute of Museum and Library Services will help the Northeast Document Conservation Center (NEDCC) provide for the first time a much-needed service to museums, libraries, and archives around the country. NEDCC will use new technologies to convert audio recordings from obsolete formats, such as wax cylinders and records, to new digital formats. NEDCC will partner with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory to bring thetechnology, dubbed IRENE/3D, to the Center for a pilot project to work with partner archives that have collections of obsolete physical audio recordings. The project team will deploy the new technologies and train NEDCC staff to deliver these digitization services in a way that is a sustainable and affordable. An estimated 46 million audio recordings are held by these institutions, according to a 2010 study by the Library of Congress. The study says that a large portion of America?s sound-recorded heritage has deteriorated or is inaccessible to the public. ?This grant creatively marries the high-tech instrumentation and concepts of the physics lab with the needs of museums and libraries holding historic audio collections,? said Susan Hildreth, Director of the Institute of Museum and Library Services. ?The work will ultimately release many sounds of the past from their physical confinement, making them available for the first time for study by researchers and for the enjoyment of the public.? NEDCC Executive Director Bill Veillette said, ?Reformatting has been a part of NEDCC?s services since it began offering film duplication and preservation microfilming in the 1970s. In the past three years, the Center has successfully transitioned its reformatting services to 100 percent digital photography with a dual focus on careful handling and adherence to best practices. The IRENE/3D system has great potential for preserving the nation?s rare and fragile sonic cultural heritage, and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to add this groundbreaking new technology to NEDCC?s menu of digital services.? Developed by particle physicists Carl Haber and Vitaliy Fadeyev, IRENE/3D permits optical scanning of historic materials without causing them any damage. It translates these scans into digital files that can be manipulated to correct audio distortions and noises and that can be played on computers. IRENE/3D was used in early 2008 to restore the earliest sound recording in history, a ?phonautograph? paper recording by French inventor Edouard-Leon Scott de Martinville. IMLS previously funded IRENE/3D technology research in 2009, with a $673,344 grant to the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The grant supported a cooperative agreement between the lab, the Library of Congress, and a number of American and international institutions. As part of that project, the lab digitized a selection of items from the early 1880s from Alexander Graham Bell?s Volta Laboratory that are in the collection of the Smithsonian Institution. These included unusual experimental recordings created on wax, foil, cardboard, metal, glass, and plaster. The partners were also able to retrieve the information from the Dickson Cylinder, Thomas Edison?s 1893 attempt to synchronize film and audio.

That's where the 113th Congress comes in. With almost 100 new members of the House and Senate, there are a lot of new faces to meet, greet and persuade on the value of libraries. Your voice is more important now than ever before. Only you can help stop immediate and dramatic cuts to LSTA, IMLS and other critical funding programs. Wait, federal funding isn't your main concern? How about averting changes to cybersecurity, copyright, broadband and elementary and secondary act policies that will negatively impact libraries around the country? In short, everyone in the library community should join us for an update on the fiscal cliff / sequestration situation as well as the policy issues most likely to be considered in the coming year. Perhaps most important, we'll tell you how best to speak up -- and make a difference.**** ** ** *Title:***** *ALA: The Fiscal Cliff, the 113th Congress and You - How What's Happening in DC Might Impact the Library Community***** *Date:***** Thursday, January 17, 2013**** *Time:***** 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM EST**** ** ** After registering you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the Webinar.**** ** ** *System Requirements* PC-based attendees Required: Windows(R) 7, Vista, XP or 2003 Server**** Mac(R)-based attendees Required: Mac OS(R) X 10.5 or newer**** Mobile attendees Required: iPhone(R), iPad(R), Android(tm) phone or Android tablet **** **** ** ** Ted Wegner**** Grassroots Coordinator**** American Library Association**** Washington Office-Office of Government Relations**** 1615 New Hampshire Avenue N.W., 1st Floor**** Washington, DC 20009-2520**** Phone: 202-628-8410**** Fax: 202-628-8419**** twegner at alawash.org**** ** ** -- *Diedre Conkling** Lincoln County Library District P.O.

Michele - as president of the Oregon Library Association, I'm hoping you can help me spread the word about the all-day FREE training session that United for Libraries will be hosting on Friday, January 25, during the ALA Midwinter Meeting in Seattle. I'm guessing some library directors and staff, and perhaps even some Friends and Trustees from Oregon will be attending the ALA Midwinter Meeting. The session is called, "Nuts & Bolts for Friends and Trustees, but of course we encourage library staff, library directors, and those working with library Foundations to attend as well. Everyone is welcome! Please share with your library support groups as well as library directors throughout your state. All that is needed to attend is to register for a FREE exhibits only badge (follow link below). Attendees will have 90 minutes for lunch on their own. Coffee will be provided in the morning. We have a fabulous line up of speakers covering a wide range of topics. We will also have our very popular roundtables in the afternoon. Attendees are encouraged to bring examples of materials (membership brochures, flyers, newsletters, library policies, advocacy materials, promotional materials, etc.) to share with other attendees. We do ask people to RSVP to united at ala.org if they plan to attend so we can have an estimate of the number of people who will be attending. Thank you in advance for helping to spread the word. The agenda is attached. More information is available on our website at http://www.ala.org/united/events_conferences/midwinter, including the link to register for a FREE exhibits only pass.

All day on Sunday, January 27, 2013, help spread the word about the importance of reporting challenges to library materials by wearing a sweater vest to your meetings, lunches, programs, and special events. On site in Seattle, ALA Office for Intellectual Freedom (OIF) staff and volunteers will be passing out stickers and postcards to Midwinter attendees. And at 2:45 p.m. at the ALA Member Pavilion (booth 1650) on the exhibit floor, everyone is invited to a group photo of librarians showing off their sweater vests!**** ** ** Those unable to attend Midwinter are encouraged to participate virtually by tweeting photos of themselves in sweater vests to at oif using the*#sweatervestsunday* and *#alamw13* hashtags, adding photos to the ALA Midwinter 2013 Flickr stream, pinning a Challenge Reporting Campaign poster on Pinterest, and "attending" the Sweater Vest Sunday Facebook event- https://www.facebook.com/events/144174662404752/?ref=3. **** ** ** *Sweater vests and the challenge reporting campaign* ** ** In 2011, the Office for Intellectual Freedom unveiled the "It's Everybody's Job" Challenge Reporting Campaign to encourage the reporting of challenges to materials in libraries and schools. Conceived by librarian Andy Woodworth, the campaign commissioned original artwork (inspired by World War II-era public safety notices) that can be shared online and printed as posters and bookmarks. The posters and bookmarks feature a librarian rocking ... a sweater vest!**** ** ** Last year, with help from the University of Illinois, OIF debuted a new database, with significantly improved functionality for both those reporting challenges and the office's ability to analyze the information it gets. This, in turn, will provide a significant boost in the ability to understand what is being challenged, where, by whom, and why; and thereby help OIF in its efforts to support librarians, teachers, and community members in defending the freedom to access information. It's also how OIF compiles its annual "Top Ten Lists" of banned and challenged books.**** ** ** OIF Director Barbara Jones said, "OIF's statistics are only as good as the data it gets. And recent surveys by the University of Missouri and theACLU of Texas have confirmed that OIF is informed of less than 25% of the materials challenges in libraries and schools each year. Sweater Vest Sunday is our way to remind everyone to let us know about challenges happening in your community, so that we can be in a position to help."**** ** ** Challenges reported to OIF are *CONFIDENTIAL*, and only used for statistical purposes. When OIF publishes details about specific challenges - such as in its Banned Book Resource Guide - it only includes those that have been reported in the media. OIF has produced this handy video to help explain the process.**** ** ** For more information, please visit www.ala.org/challengereporting.**** ** ** *Burning questions:* ** ** *What about regular sweaters?* Regular sweaters are okay in a pinch. The important thing, after all, is to spread the word about reporting challenges. Midwinter attendees who choose to wear a regular sweater can pick up an "It's Everybody's Job" sticker at the ALA Pavilion on the exhibit floor.**** ** ** *What about bow ties?* Bow ties are optional. As are eyeglasses.**** **** *Is there a great, informative, and interactive intellectual freedom-related Midwinter event I should attend that day?* Why yes! There will be an Intellectual Freedom Discussion Group session on Sunday, Jan. 27 from 1:00-2:30 p.m. in room 616 of the Washington State Convention Center. In addition to discussion challenges to materials, we'll have tables on privacy, internet filtering, and media violence.**** ** ** After that, at 2:45 p.m., there will be a group photo of all Sweater Vest Sunday participants at the ALA Member Pavilion on the exhibit floor.**** ** ** ** ** [image: BBW_A4_LoRes.jpg] **** ** ** ** ** jkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjk**** Jonathan Kelley**** Program Coordinator**** Office for Intellectual Freedom **** American Library Association**** 50 E.

We've found that our local paper gets the info from our web page/newsletter and puts the title in anyway, even though we've told them they aren't supposed to, but since we didn't provide it in a press release .... We'll sometimes describe the movie like, "the latest from the creators of the caped crusader (Batman)", but we've gotten good crowds with the publicity we do. And because our paper is an avid reader of our newsletter we hardly have to do press releases anymore, they just print stuff directly from our newsletter. Many times we try to show it within days of it coming out on DVD. We benefit from the marketing and regularly fill up the room. Then there is the whole embargo issue about when we can check it out to people, but that doesn't stop us from showing it immediately, putting it in the catalog and letting the holds mount up. But by showing it, we do eliminate some of the holds as people will have already seen it in our meeting room with popcorn! It's a great easy program and when we get the speakers and projector installed in the meeting room, it will eliminate that set up activity, so they're our easiest programs.

I was a member of this taskforce. http://www.oregonedccc.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/ExecutiveSummary-4058report-11-1-12.pdf The taskforce was charged with finding things the legislature could do to help reduce the textbook cost burden. As a result of that mission, some things that can be done were mentioned, but no recommendation was put on them, because you can't force an instructor to use an open source textbook. In the end, all we did regarding libraries is to say there should be more exploration of using library reserves.

So, I have a couple of questions for the collective: 1. Has anyone put iPads in their library, specifically for children? How do you manage them, load only your apps and deal with reservations? 2. I've been reading about Chromebooks, especially in California where the state library did a $500,000+ grant and put thousands of Chromebooks out in libraries (10 to 50 per library) and they are actually letting people check them out to use at home for a week. I'm looking more at using them within the library and again the whole reservation issue is huge as I will not go back to a sign up sheet after enjoying the automation of PC Reservation for years ;-) How does it work with the limitation of apps and googledocs? Any others... Thanks Leah ********************************** Leah M. Griffith, Director Newberg Public Library 503 E.

ChromeOS is a Linux distribution, and Libki ( http://libki.org/) is a PC reservation application that's compatible with Linux. It may take a bit of work, but I'd imagine that it could also work on ChromeOS. Since the OS primarily runs through a web browser, you might also check the Chrome Web Store to see if they have any apps/extensions for public-oriented computers. We use Firefox on our Linux-based public computers, and there's have a handy extension called Public Fox ( https://addons.mozilla.org/EN-us/firefox/addon/public-fox/), for instance. Chrome may have something similar. Cheers!

I'm thinking about holding a local author book fair this summer, but I've never done something like this and my initial research brought up bupkis. Has anyone held an event like this before? Thanks!

Apologies if you've already seen this. Charles Dunham 541 766-6965 Adult Services Librarian Corvallis-Benton County Public Library [FaceBook-icon][Feed-icon][Twitter-icon] Download our app in iTunes, Google Play or at cbcpl.boopsie.com From: libs-or-bounces at listsmart.osl.state.or.us [mailto:libs-or-bounces at listsmart.osl.state.or.us] On Behalf Of Christy Davis Sent: Friday, July 13, 2012 12:11 PM To: libs-or at listsmart.osl.state.or.us Subject: [Libs-Or] Thoughtful replies to Microfilm Scanner question Thank you to everyone who replied to my question about microfilm scanners. The majority of respondents praised the ScanPro 2000 but a few had other favorites. I compiled the responses and they are here for you to peruse should your library also be in the market for similar equipment. Compilation of Microfilm Scanner Data Responses July 2012 Perry from Baker County: We have had a ScanPro2000 unit for about 3 years. We're very satisfied, have had no significant problems with the unit or software. It does take some practice getting used to, but staff & patrons find the digital enhancement benefits [large vertical screen, zoom, reverse image, brighten whole pages or just selected areas, save as digital file] are worth the effort. >From Margaret at Eugene: We have one of these snazzy microform readers and love it. The brand is Image Data, it's the Scan Pro 2000. Since our public printing is part of the Envisionware system for making internet reservations and printing, we configured the PC connected to Scan Pro for that system. However, it could simply be connected to a dedicated printer just for the PC/Scan Pro. And of course one can save on USB drive. I love the ease of use, onscreen directions and images to walk the patron through everything from threading the film (or using fiche) to manipulating the image, saving, printing, etc. Being more versatile does mean more complex, so we did have to have staff training. Savvy patrons do fine once we start them. David from StreamNet wrote: We have a Cannon MS 300 that we really like. Naturally it is slow on the initial reading and you have to line up each page/sheet and download them individually but the document is read and converted to a PDF quickly. We are very happy to have it the few times we have had to use it as pdf's are easier to read and manipulate than hardcopies. Besides, most of our patrons prefer pdf's these days. Reita from Seaside: We recently purchased a microfilm reader/printer called the (wait for it) ScanPro 2000. It took us three years to raise the funds and I did a lot of research. It hooks up to a computer and prints from our networked printer. Although it works great, I had problems with the salesman. When he was training our staff, I kept asking where the certain features were that were advertised and he said they were "extra". After thinking about it for a few days, I contacted him and told him that I was not told they were "extra" when I placed the order and wanted to know how much "extra" they were. He said $3000. My City Manager told me that was bogus and to send the machine back. When I told the salesman we were sending the machine back and wanted a full refund, he said we could have the extras for "only" $375. When I told him we were still sending the machine back, he told us we could have the extras for free. So, I cannot comment on the ScanPro 2000 as much as I can comment on the salesman. Be careful when ordering! Charles from Corvallis-Benton County: Here is a brief review of our recently-purchased ScanPro 2000, which we purchased from Linco without a service contract. Reels that were nearly unreadable on a conventional reader look crisp on the ScanPro. It's also nice to be able to scan directly to pdf; we've started responding to obituary requests with email attachments. It's slightly easier to load film on to it than with a conventional reader, but the software interface could be better; I'll hazard that it takes most new users about 10 minutes to come to grips with it. One challenge is that fine horizontal film movement is controlled by dragging a bar on the computer screen, but vertical movement requires a push or pull on the slide tray. Also, when the film is scrolled it takes a moment for the image on the computer monitor to catch up. Because of this lag, looking through several days of headlines is faster on a conventional reader. I prefer the ScanPro to our older scanners, but I feel that it works better as a complement to a conventional reader than as a replacement. Julie from Jackson County Library Services: We have 2 Canon digital microform readers, with a third on order. I love them!!! The first one we got is a Canon 300. The second one is a Canon 300 II. I also do Interlibrary Loan, and have regular users who request a lot of microfilm, and they love being able to use the digital readers and scan to a flash drive, or send to their email. I also have some regular patrons who use them with our own microfilm/fiche and one just hooks his computer to the CPU, so it goes directly to his files. Staff uses them for obituaries, and other requests from the microfilm, and we can send directly to a patron's email, instead of making copies, and then sending through the mail. That is wonderful!! The digital are exactly like to older Canon scanners we have/had, so loading and using are exactly the same, the only difference is when making "copies", since it is done through the computer instead. The scanners have carriages for both film (16mm, 35mm), and fiche, and they do not have to be taken off to use one or the other. Usually the printing can be made better on the digital (depending on the what the original is like), and we can do framing, so obits/articles can often be made larger. No more room is needed with the digital, if you had a printer hooked up to the microfilm reader you have now. There is the CPU, monitor and mouse, then the digital reader. We have our digitals hooked up to the LTP1 printer that we use for internet printing, so patrons can print right away, if they want to, but very few do.

[IMLS logo] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 15, 2013 IMLS Press Contact 202-653-4799 Giuliana Bullard, gbullard at imls.gov Registration Opens for WebWise 2013 Putting the Learner at the Center Washington, DC?Registration is now open for the Institute of Museum and Library Services? (IMLS) WebWise Conference, which will take place March 6-8 at the Renaissance Baltimore Harborplace in Baltimore, MD. WebWise 2013 will feature a new format that allows for more discussion, learning, and connecting with potential partners and collaborators. A signature initiative of IMLS, the WebWise Conference annually brings together representatives of museums, libraries, archives, systems science, education, and other fields to explore the many opportunities made possible by digital technologies. WebWise highlights recent research and innovations in digital technology, explores their potential impacts on library and museum services, and promotes effective museum and library practices in a digital environment. It also provides recipients of technology-based grants from the Institute with an opportunity to showcase their exemplary projects. George Mason University?s Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media (CHNM) is helping to organize the conference. WebWise 2013 will focus on the theme "Putting the Learner at the Center." This year, WebWise will steal a page from participant-driven "unconferences" and THATCamps and feature a participatory and interactive format. The new format extends last year?s successful WiseCamp pre-conference and responds to conference participants? calls for more hands-on and collaborative sessions by featuring participant-chosen workshops, project demonstrations, project incubation working groups, and lightning talks, all designed to foster opportunities for collaboration and learning. For example: * Workshops: Want to learn a new digital skill? Through the use of an online tool called IdeaScale, participants will have an opportunity to help shape the conference agenda by submitting workshop topics, voting on existing topics, or adding comments. Workshops could include how to participate in the Digital Public Library of America or create online collections; the topics will be up to you. * Project Demonstrations: Learn from nine exemplary projects in extended demonstration sessions with time for audience questions and in-depth discussions. * Project/Partnership Incubator: Participate in small working sessions to connect, hatch new ideas, and work with potential collaborators. * Sharing: Share results from small groups, be inspired by the keynote speaker, and leave WebWise with excitement and actionable to-dos to implement at your home institution. Those seeking more information about the conference should visit the WebWise 2013 website, which also provides a registration form.

They are responsible for getting it back to us in time and there are fines if they don't check it back in within two hours. The Chromebooks are mostly used for web browsing. Printing is not currently possible from a Chromebook but I understand that functionality will be added to our system eventually. People like the Chromebooks. It allows them to use a computer at whatever table they want to in the library, not just in our PC computer area. People like that.

Apologies if you've already seen this.

The majority of respondents praised the ScanPro 2000 but a few had other favorites. I compiled the responses and they are here for you to peruse should your library also be in the market for similar equipment. Compilation of Microfilm Scanner Data Responses July 2012 Perry from Baker County: We have had a ScanPro2000 unit for about 3 years. We're very satisfied, have had no significant problems with the unit or software. It does take some practice getting used to, but staff & patrons find the digital enhancement benefits [large vertical screen, zoom, reverse image, brighten whole pages or just selected areas, save as digital file] are worth the effort. >From Margaret at Eugene: We have one of these snazzy microform readers and love it. The brand is Image Data, it's the Scan Pro 2000. Since our public printing is part of the Envisionware system for making internet reservations and printing, we configured the PC connected to Scan Pro for that system. However, it could simply be connected to a dedicated printer just for the PC/Scan Pro. And of course one can save on USB drive. I love the ease of use, onscreen directions and images to walk the patron through everything from threading the film (or using fiche) to manipulating the image, saving, printing, etc. Being more versatile does mean more complex, so we did have to have staff training. Savvy patrons do fine once we start them. David from StreamNet wrote: We have a Cannon MS 300 that we really like. Naturally it is slow on the initial reading and you have to line up each page/sheet and download them individually but the document is read and converted to a PDF quickly. We are very happy to have it the few times we have had to use it as pdf's are easier to read and manipulate than hardcopies. Besides, most of our patrons prefer pdf's these days. Reita from Seaside: We recently purchased a microfilm reader/printer called the (wait for it) ScanPro 2000. It took us three years to raise the funds and I did a lot of research. It hooks up to a computer and prints from our networked printer. Although it works great, I had problems with the salesman. When he was training our staff, I kept asking where the certain features were that were advertised and he said they were "extra". After thinking about it for a few days, I contacted him and told him that I was not told they were "extra" when I placed the order and wanted to know how much "extra" they were. He said $3000. My City Manager told me that was bogus and to send the machine back. When I told the salesman we were sending the machine back and wanted a full refund, he said we could have the extras for "only" $375. When I told him we were still sending the machine back, he told us we could have the extras for free. So, I cannot comment on the ScanPro 2000 as much as I can comment on the salesman. Be careful when ordering! Charles from Corvallis-Benton County: Here is a brief review of our recently-purchased ScanPro 2000, which we purchased from Linco without a service contract. Reels that were nearly unreadable on a conventional reader look crisp on the ScanPro. It's also nice to be able to scan directly to pdf; we've started responding to obituary requests with email attachments. It's slightly easier to load film on to it than with a conventional reader, but the software interface could be better; I'll hazard that it takes most new users about 10 minutes to come to grips with it. One challenge is that fine horizontal film movement is controlled by dragging a bar on the computer screen, but vertical movement requires a push or pull on the slide tray. Also, when the film is scrolled it takes a moment for the image on the computer monitor to catch up. Because of this lag, looking through several days of headlines is faster on a conventional reader. I prefer the ScanPro to our older scanners, but I feel that it works better as a complement to a conventional reader than as a replacement. Julie from Jackson County Library Services: We have 2 Canon digital microform readers, with a third on order. I love them!!! The first one we got is a Canon 300. The second one is a Canon 300 II. I also do Interlibrary Loan, and have regular users who request a lot of microfilm, and they love being able to use the digital readers and scan to a flash drive, or send to their email. I also have some regular patrons who use them with our own microfilm/fiche and one just hooks his computer to the CPU, so it goes directly to his files. Staff uses them for obituaries, and other requests from the microfilm, and we can send directly to a patron's email, instead of making copies, and then sending through the mail. That is wonderful!! The digital are exactly like to older Canon scanners we have/had, so loading and using are exactly the same, the only difference is when making "copies", since it is done through the computer instead. The scanners have carriages for both film (16mm, 35mm), and fiche, and they do not have to be taken off to use one or the other. Usually the printing can be made better on the digital (depending on the what the original is like), and we can do framing, so obits/articles can often be made larger. No more room is needed with the digital, if you had a printer hooked up to the microfilm reader you have now. There is the CPU, monitor and mouse, then the digital reader. We have our digitals hooked up to the LTP1 printer that we use for internet printing, so patrons can print right away, if they want to, but very few do.

Where Google Docs really shine is in seamless integration between classroom, library and home. A student can start project in the classroom, continue the research project in the public library, turn it into a presentation at home, and then show it in the classroom. There are no hassles with thumb drives, different software, versions, OS's, etc. This solves so many problems. Chromebooks are especially elegant, in this regard. No matter which one you open, your experience starts where you left-off on the last one. For teacher-librarians, the collaboration feature is fantastic. The teacher can assist and evaluate the student in the writing process as they are writing, even at home. But Google Docs is limited in features. You would never write a dissertation on one. The average school project is fine. Import/export is limited but works with Doc, RTF, PDF and OTF. This is usually enough. I personally have a problem with pushing students into the arms of a gigantic corporation like Apple, Microsoft, Facebook or Google. But, so far, Google has resisted evil. If I had my way, every school would use OpenSource but I don't expect that any time soon! Google is the most open of the big players, IMHO. Well, that's my two cents worth.

A link to the 2014 competitive LSTA grant packet is found on the Oregon State Library main page, as well as the Library Development main page (http://www.oregon.gov/OSL/LD/). The forms are in downloadable Microsoft Word form, as well as pdf, for your convenience. If you need a paper copy of the packet sent to you, or have the files in some other format, please contact Ann Reed at (503) 378-5027 or ann.reed at state.or.us. Grant proposals are due at the State Library by 5:00 pm on April 12, 2013. For multi-year grant projects seeking a second or third year of funding, please use the form Appendix D. Grant applications need to be in accordance with the purposes of the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) which is summarized in the packet as Appendix A. Many other resources for LSTA grant applicants can be found on the Grants / Aid to Libraries page of the Oregon State Library website (http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/grantmainalt.aspx.) Resources include information about past grants and Library Services and Technology Act Advisory Council minutes. New to FFY2014 is a requirement for measuring outcomes of your grant project. The State Library has discontinued its peer evaluation program in favor of outcomes-based evaluation. Grant projects need to be designed so that the impact of the project on the knowledge, skills and abilities of the target population are measurable in some way. There are many websites that can offer assistance, such as an online course on outcomes-based planning and evaluation (OBPE) at www.shapingoutcomes.org. The IMLS website also offers assistance at http://www.imls.gov/research/evaluation_resources.aspx. If you have questions about the Grant Guidelines, LSTA grant program, outcomes-based evaluation or have difficulty downloading a form, please feel free to contact Ann Reed, Federal Programs Coordinator.

The passage of HB 4016 has expanded the definition of mandatory reporters to include all "Employee[s] or volunteer[s] of a public or private organization providing child-related services or activities that allow the employee[s] or volunteer[s] temporary care, control or supervision of a child..." The State Library recommends that all public libraries seek advice from their legal counsel regarding the newly amended Oregon State Statutes 338.115, 339.370, 339.372, 339.374, 339.378, 339.388, 339.392, 339.400 and 419B.005. Depending on the advice from your legal counsel, your library may consider creating a policy, procedure, or training requirement around mandatory reporting. If your library is already working on something along these lines, please consider helping other libraries by sharing what you're doing via this listserv. A couple libraries have asked the State Library for assistance identifying mandatory reporter training opportunities in order to comply with the law as advised by their legal counsel. I have worked with a Child Welfare Analyst at the Oregon Department of Human Services (DHS) to develop a short, but valuable list of resources libraries may use to educate themselves around mandatory reporting: ? Watch this 25 minute mandatory reporting video* , ? Read this mandatory reporting guide* , and/or ? Contact your local DHS Children, Adults, and Families Division to inquire about face-to-face mandatory reporting training. *The video and guide are a little out-of-date, but still provide reliable content. Please keep in mind that they will not define mandatory reporters as broadly as the new language. If you have questions about mandatory reporting, first ask your local DHS Children, Adults, and Families Division. If they are not able to assist you, then contact the state DHS office by calling 503-945-6116.

So, I have a couple of questions for the collective: 1. Has anyone put iPads in their library, specifically for children? How do you manage them, load only your apps and deal with reservations? 2. I've been reading about Chromebooks, especially in California where the state library did a $500,000+ grant and put thousands of Chromebooks out in libraries (10 to 50 per library) and they are actually letting people check them out to use at home for a week. I'm looking more at using them within the library and again the whole reservation issue is huge as I will not go back to a sign up sheet after enjoying the automation of PC Reservation for years ;-) How does it work with the limitation of apps and googledocs? Any others... Thanks Leah ********************************** Leah M. Griffith, Director Newberg Public Library 503 E.

ISBN: 987-1-59884-939-4 Description: According to the author, this book is intended to be a basic training course for library workers who need to get an overview of genealogy very quickly in order to help those family history researchers that frequently visit libraries. Beginning with library genealogical services policies, the guide moves on to cover genealogical research principles and most-used sources. It also illustrates how one can perform a search backward in time through American family history. The book includes information on researching people of color, taking research to another country, and adding DNA information to genealogical research. Examples from the author's decades-long experience as a genealogist enrich the text, while illustrations of census records and the like help readers understand the research process. If you would like to request this or other materials from the Oregon State Library please use your library's established interlibrary loan process or send your full name, the name of your library, complete title information, shipping address, and a phone number to the document delivery department at library.request at state.or.us or (fax) 503-588-7119.

I work in a small public library with a collection that contains a large percentage of children's materials, about half of which are in Spanish. We are trying to devise a regular shelf-reading system that might engage both volunteers and part-time staff; past efforts have fizzled due to motivation, training, and availability of staff or dependable, regular volunteers. We'd like to ideally devise a simple spreadsheet for people to initial when a section is completed, with a weekly and/or monthly report. We are hoping to recruit more volunteers solely for shelf-reading, but currently have no regular volunteers who shelf read. We have about five volunteers who are qualified, with a good familiarity with Dewey, but are currently focused on other tasks like check-in and pulling holds. Who is responsible for managing and/or tracking this at your library?How much time is dedicated to this task on a regular basis for volunteers and/or staff? How are shifts typically arranged?Who does the actual shelf reading? Volunteers? Staff? Both?What kinds of roadblocks have you encountered? Successes? Your feedback is invaluable! Thank you!

[Description: IMLS logo] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 22, 2013 IMLS Press Contact 202-653-4799 Giuliana Bullard, gbullard at imls.gov Mamie Bittner, mbittner at imls.gov IMLS 2010 Public Library Survey Results Announced Libraries doing more with less - Local government taking larger funding role Washington, DC-Public libraries served 297.6 million people throughout the United States, a number that is equivalent to 96.4 percent of the total U.S. population, according to new research by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). In 2010, there were 8,951 public libraries in the 50 states and the District of Columbia with 17,078 public library branches and bookmobiles. IMLS today released the 2010 Public Libraries in the United States Survey, an analysis of the most comprehensive annual data collection of U.S. public library statistics. Nationally, public libraries have seen reductions in operating revenue, service hours, and staffing. Numbers for circulation, program attendance, and computer use continue to trend upward. This is the first federal statistical report on public libraries to go beyond a national level analysis to report on trends at the local, regional, and state levels. The report identifies indicators in three areas: services and operations, resources, and workforce. To provide a more complete picture of library service in the U.S., the report provides a snapshot for each state, describing characteristics of library service. "Public libraries in America continue as strong anchors for their communities, valued by the people they serve and striving to meet the changing needs of their service populations," said IMLS Director Susan Hildreth. "The survey reports decreasing levels of state and federal funding for public libraries, with local support providing a greater portion of funding than ever before." "Trends to watch," continued Hildreth, "include public libraries increasing the number of non-print materials in their collections; offering more access to computers and computer resources; providing more public programs; and diversifying collections, including increasing numbers of e-books." "Public libraries continue to be an essential service for the nation's children. The study finds that attendance at children's programs reached 60.50 million and circulation of children's materials increased 28.3 percent over the last ten years." Highlights from the Report Public Library Services and Operations * Public libraries offered 3.75 million programs to the public in FY 2010, which amounts to an average of at least one program a day for every library system in the country. The majority of these programs (61.5%) are designed for children. Attendance at programs has continued to rise, indicating an increased demand for these services. * Public libraries circulated 2.46 billion materials in FY 2010, the highest circulation in 10 years, representing a continued increasing trend. Circulation of children's materials has increased by 28.3 percent in the last 10 years and comprises over one-third of all materials circulated in public libraries. * The composition of public library collections has changed dramatically in recent years. While books in print continue to dominate the physical portion of the collection, making up 87.1 percent of the total in FY 2010, the share of non-print materials, including audio and video materials and electronic books, has increased. The number of e-books has tripled since FY 2003. In FY 2010, there were 18.50 million e-books available for circulation. * Public access computer use continued to be one of the fastest growing services in public libraries. In FY 2010, public libraries reported a computer use rate of more than one use for every five visits to the library. Public libraries have responded to demand by increasing access, doubling the number of public computers in the past 10 years. * Physical visits to libraries decreased 1.1 percent in 2010. (Note: the survey does not collect data on online visits or transactions of public libraries.) Physical visits remain strong with an overall 10-year increase of 32.7 percent from FY 2001-FY 2010. On average, Americans visited a public library 5.3 times per year, a ten-year increase of 21.7 percent. Public Library Resources * Public libraries had $11.3 billion in revenue in FY 2010, a decrease of 3.5 percent from FY 2009, after adjusting for inflation. Although local governments have generally been the largest source of revenue for public libraries, they have had to take on an even larger role as state support declined over 10 years. * Public libraries reported operating expenditures of $10.77 billion dollars in FY 2010, the first decrease since FY 2001. Although expenditures across all U.S. public libraries were $36.18 per capita, per-capita expenditures varied greatly by state, with spending as low as $15.99 and as high as $67.78. Public Library Workforce * The recession has had an impact on the public library workforce, which has decreased by 6,385 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) staff since FY 2008, a decrease of 3.9 percent. Staff-related expenditures were $7.21 billion, 67.0 percent of public library expenses in FY 2010. * Librarians made up one-third of all library staff. Although the majority of these librarians hold a Master's degree in Library Science from a program accredited by the American Library Association (ALA-MLS), only half of all libraries reported having a librarian with an ALA-MLS on staff.

Read the Macmillan press release for more details. In response to the announcement, ALA President Maureen Sullivan immediately released the following statement: *"I am so pleased Macmillan Publishers is beginning to sell e-books to America's libraries so that we may connect their authors and our readers in the digital age. This is a welcome acknowledgment of our advocacy and the importance of the library market. We have always known that library lending encourages patrons to experiment by sampling new authors, topics and genres. This experimentation stimulates the market for books, with the library serving as a critical de facto discovery, promotion and awareness service for authors and publishers.* *"Almost exactly one year ago, the ALA began this conversation with Macmillan CEO John Sargent and his leadership team, and regular communications have continued as the company stated it would launch its pilot last September. While today's announcement is only a first step, we look forward to the release of more details about the pilot and continuing work together to bring even more Macmilllan e-titles to libraries in the future.* *"I am glad they are willing to try new business models in collaboration with libraries. This is an important development in our evolving relationship with publishers and intermediaries. ALA and our nation's libraries welcome new partners in creating and supporting a nation of readers.* *"We will continue our work to develop these relationships and to create new opportunities with publishers, authors and intermediaries to support a healthy reading ecosystem.* *"Libraries stand with readers, thinkers, writers, dreamers and inventors. Books and knowledge -- in all their forms -- are essential."* * * * * * * http://www.districtdispatch.org/2013/01/today-macmillan-readies-for-library-ebook-lending-market/ * * -- *Diedre Conkling** Lincoln County Library District P.O.

To help libraries navigate through the ebook environment, the American Library Association (ALA) released today "The Business Model Scorecard," (pdf) a report that examines specific variables often seen in library ebook license contracts (Download the pdf report ). The report, which was created by the ALA Digital Content & Libraries Working Group (DCWG), can be used by librarians to weigh ebook contract variables most important to their library. The report assesses 15 ebook contract variables of importance to libraries, ranging from ebook title inclusion, to ebook pricing, to immediate patron access. These variables include important ebook lending characteristics, such as ebook revenue streams for publishers and ebook accessibility for people with disabilities. "We developed the 'Scorecard' to ensure that librarians have the information they need to better negotiate ebook licensing agreements with publishers," said Erika Linke, co-chair of the DCWG's business models subgroup. "While no single business model will offer the best terms for all libraries, this report details lending terms that libraries can use to craft model contracts that work for their library systems." The report is a follow up to the 2012 ALA report "Ebook Business Models for Public Libraries," a report that describes general features and attributes of the current ebook environment and outlines constraints and restrictions of current business models.

ISBN: 978-1-57387-452-6 In an era where collaborative partnerships have become vital to libraries, this timely book explains what it means to be "embedded"; placing information professionals into partnerships with the individuals and working groups that depend upon their knowledge and expertise. Not just an option for corporate librarians, Shumaker describes models for public, school, and academic librarians. As he outlines potential strategies and implementations for embedded librarians, he makes a compelling case for this approach to information service delivery. Shumaker also writes a popular blog, The Embedded Librarian. When you borrow from OSL, items will be checked out to your library for 4 weeks (print materials) or 2 weeks (videos).

Chicago: ALA, 2013. 027.4730112 Refle ISBN 978-0838911877 Academic and public libraries are much different today than they were even 15 years ago. And with even bigger changes on the horizon, what lies in store? In this systematic attempt to speak to academic and public librarians about the future of library services, Hernon and Matthews invite a raft of contributors to step back and envision the type of future library that will generate excitement and enthusiasm among users and stakeholders. Anyone interested in the future of libraries, especially library managers, will be engaged and stimulated as the contributors * Examine the current state of the library, summarizing existing literature on the topic to sketch in historical background * Project into the future, using SWOT analysis, environmental scans, and other techniques to posit how library infrastructure (such as staff, collections, technology, and facilities) can adapt in the decades ahead * Construct potential scenarios that library leaders can use to forge paths for their own institutions The collection of knowledge and practical wisdom in this book will help academic and public libraries find ways to honor their missions while planning for the broader institutional changes already underway.

They can present a challenge that consumes a disproportionate amount of an indexer's time. Now at last we have a book wholly devoted to the subject. Coverage includes names from classical and medieval times and those belonging to particular ethnicities and nationalities, along with those peculiar to specific genres, especially biography, religion, and the performance and fine arts. Fictional, corporate, and geographical names as well as those of royalty and nobility are discussed. You'll find advice on when and how to index names mentioned in peripheral ways and guidance in avoiding the pitfalls of automated name indexing. With Indexing Names, Noeline Bridge and her contributing experts from around the globe have created an essential reference for all indexers working in the English language and an instant classic within the field.

At that time, anyone without a ticket who is waiting in line will be admitted and ticket holders who arrive late will have to stand in line with those who don't have a ticket. It's only occasionally that someone arrives after ten minutes before the event and doesn't get to come, although it does happen. People seem to like knowing that they have a reserved seat for the event as long as they arrive on time much more than knowing that they have to come way early to stand outside in a line and hope they can get in. Those without a ticket also like the possibility that someone won't show and they might get in, even without a ticket. And latecomers - oh well, lesson learned. Good luck. It sounds like a great event.

What have you done in your library to manage attendance, both ahead of time (i.e. giving out tickets to ?reserve? a space) and the day of (i.e. lines, turning people away etc.) I?m already getting calls from people who are interested and don?t want to get shut out, but frankly we?ve never managed sign-ups for anything larger than groups of 20 people or so. Now that I have written this and jinxed the event, we will have about 10 show up?now I?ve done it. Well, if you have any good ideas, please write to me and share them anyway. There are always future events I have not jinxed yet. Thank you for your help! Mo PS We don?t have a meeting room so these events are after hours. We have to close the library to get set up, people have to wait outside for that to happen, and we do not offer library service during the program as that would interrupt the program. Not ideal.

I wasn't really sure what I would get, but we wound up gaining over 50 new followers in 5 days.

An eighth grader is working on a school paper and using Internet-based resources to presumably do some of his research. Good so far, right? Unfortunately the *Wall Street Journal* article, "The Web-Deprived Study at McDonald's*," *takes a hard turn and shows us the student's Internet options mostly run out after his local public library closes. Why is Joshua, the eighth grader, doing homework at a fast-food restaurant, and how could this situation be improved? We can all agree that there should be more options for Joshua and his fellow students. It's a painful reality to accept that some students have to go to a restaurant or caf? to finish an assignment - particularly since more than 40 percent of library patrons use technology to pursue educational activities, including homework help and online classes. Even though the Cintronelle (Ala.) Memorial Library has nearly tripled the number of computers available and is open 30 hours per week, more is needed. In rural areas 70 percent of libraries are the only provider of free public computers and Internet access - something that is critical when many students not only have no home Internet but may lack a laptop, using a mobile device to access the online world. In 2012, 89 percent of the nation's nearly 17,000 public libraries provided Wi-Fi access, and about three-quarters of these reported an increase in the use of their Wi-Fi. Since most of these libraries keep their Wi-Fi signal on after hours, we are very familiar with the "parking lot" uses of people who don't have other Internet access options. Today, nearly all libraries provide public access computers staffed with knowledgeable librarians who, in many instances, work closely with school librarians and classroom teachers to make sure their resources and databases complement the ones in the K12 schools. These librarians, school and public, can help Joshua locate the very best resources, teach him how to evaluate online information, and guide him to collaborative production tools to compose high-quality papers. While computer and Internet access are an essential starting point, trained staff and relevant resources are also vital. Unfortunately, because of the economic downturn affecting so many families and causing some to discontinue Internet access, public libraries also are feeling the stress. This past year, 57 percent of public libraries reportedthey had flat or reduced operating budgets, and in the previous year 23 states, including Joshua's, reported cuts in state funding. Although public libraries may want to increase hours, upgrade Internet speeds, add computers, provide mobile services and serve as community Wi-Fi hotspots, they face significant challenges. If you only consider library infrastructure, many public libraries depend on E-rate discounts to take care of the recurring costs for Internet access. E-rate is one of the Universal Service Fund buckets and provides schools and libraries with discounts on telecommunications and the internal connections necessary to put those services to work. Libraries (and schools) receive discounts for Internet connections based on need and a somewhat complicated application process. Even with these discounts, many libraries find themselves strapped in paying the non-discounted portion and struggle to maintain or improve their technology. In 2012, we see for the first time that the demand for E-rate funding for Internet and telecommunications services alone claimed all of the available funds and it was only through carefully structuring the available funds that the neediest of applicants could receive support for internal connections. The way the E-rate fund has been maxed out (it has a cap around $2.25 billion adjusted annually for inflation) in recent years, not very many public libraries and generally the poorest schools are receiving discounts for the internal connections required to bring the Internet from the building entry point to the public computers. In Idaho, for example, no libraries have received such funding since 1999, a year or so after the program started. Clearly the inflation adjustment which only brings the amount of E-rate dollars available to both schools and libraries to about 3 percent more than it was in 1998 when the fund size was established is not enough and must be further increased. [image: french fries and wifi]So what's the answer? There are many shorter and longer-term possibilities. Maybe local government officials should make funding library technology a higher priority to support their future workers. Maybe school administrators and school boards should commit to supporting extended school library hours staffed by librarians. Maybe there should be more pressure on Internet providers to make their broadband more affordable for families, as well as institutions such as libraries. Maybe there should be more pressure from the federal government to push telecommunications providers into rural areas where it's difficult to make a business case for trenching fiber. Maybe government agencies should provide funding for programs that bring technology, resources, and trained staff into neighborhoods where resources are lacking such as Philadelphia's KEYSPOT program. Maybe foundations and corporate philanthropic institutions should increase their interest in funding local initiatives that create enticing after-school opportunities for our K12 students such as those in libraries that are modeled on Chicago's very successful YOUmedia program or create opportunities to bring Wi-Fi into needy neighborhoods like the Free Library of Philadelphia and its Techmobile . A book isn't enough to meet the current research and educational needs of our students and broader community. Libraries are part of the solution, and we need more and better support for public, school and college libraries to support learning beyond the classroom with other community partners. Our students should not have to order fries as part of their homework assignments. We all need to step it up so this story has a better sequel. http://www.districtdispatch.org/2013/01/where-we-are-failing-our-kids/ -- *Diedre Conkling** Lincoln County Library District P.O.

The meeting will stream from 10:30 am - 1:30 pm on Thu. Feb. 7 in our basement conference room. The theme of the meeting is "Survive or Thrive: Connecting Libraries and Community." The keynote with Richard C. Harwood on "Building Community" will be at 11:15. There will also be a lightning panel at 12:15. This is the topic the panelists will address: Communities are groups of people who share a set of values or interests, who come together for a specific reason, and/or who reside in a certain area, including virtual locations. Communities are changing, yet continue to be especially important to the success and future of libraries. With the pressures on libraries to connect with their users and show positive impact on the communities in which they serve, as well as the ever increasing digital nature of information and ways people interact, the notion of community is evolving and has new meaning. How do you define community? How does community impact your institution and what you offer?
