The Board voted to elect Aletha Bonebrake as Board Chair and Susan Hathaway-Marxer as Vice Chair, beginning July 1, 2013. The Board approved the procedure for the State Librarian's annual evaluation, to be conducted at the October Board meeting. The Board also approved the LSTA Advisory Council recommendation to invite 13 applicants who had submitted brief proposals to complete full applications for FFY 2014 funds, to be considered the fall. In addition, the Board approved the Talking Book and Braille Annual Donation Expenditure Plan for 2013-2014, recommended by the Talking Book and Braille Services (TBABS) Advisory Council. The next Board meeting is currently scheduled for Thursday, August 29th at the Oregon State Library in Salem. Board Welcomes Ismoon Hunter-Morton to the State Library Board Governor Kitzhaber has appointed Ismoon Hunter-Morton to the Oregon State Library Board of Trustees. Hunter-Morton is an adult services librarian from Forest Grove, as well as an on-call reference librarian at Multnomah County Library. She is also a community archivist and the president of the Gay and Lesbian Archives of the Pacific Northwest. Her term on the Board begins July 1st. The State Library would like to sincerely thank outgoing Board members Sue Burkholder and Shannon Applegate for their years of service to the Board, the State Library, and the library community. Return to top of page State Library News New Members Elected to SDLAC At their meeting on May 10, 2013, the LSTA Council elected one returning, and two new members to the Statewide Database Licensing Advisory Committee (SDLAC). Their terms will run from July 1, 2013 - June 30, 2016. Position #7, representing public libraries serving over 100,000 Glenna Rhodes - Deschutes Public Library Position #8, representing private academic institutions Diane Sotak - University of Portland Position #9, representing resource sharing networks Brent Mills - Sage Library System The SDLAC and State Library staff would like to thank outgoing members Canon Crawford, who filled position 8 and served as chair of the committee in 2011-2012, and Sean Park, who filled position 9. Thank you for your years of service to the committee! More information about the SDLAC can be found on the website. Talking Books' Applications Easier Than Ever Talking Book and Braille Services is happy to announce that SCANNED or FAXED applications are now accepted! In the past, federal regulations required that all applications for Talking Books must include an "original signature"-which meant that applicants were forced to send applications to the State Library by snail-mail. Thanks to the progressive leadership of the National Library Service for the Blind's Karen Kenninger, you can now fax or scan and email completed applications directly to Talking Books. Send scanned applications to tbabs.info at state.or.us or fax applications to 503-585-8059. Don't forget, public librarians are considered "certifying signatures" on any application where vision or physical impairment prevent a person from reading standard print. Living History Research at the State Library [TIP]For the past several years, the Mission Mill Heritage Center has offered a summer program for teens. Kids who participate in the Teen Interpretive Program agree to portray a historical figure that lived at the Methodist Mission or worked at the mill. Their historical research includes a field trip to the Oregon State Library. They learn to use indices, microfilm, and various primary and secondary biographical materials to gather facts about the lives of the pioneers, politicians, missionaries and mill workers they will become for the summer months. Our genealogy volunteers have been a great resource to the students, and State Library staff members look forward to this annual visit from the T.I.P. kids. We all hope the teens will continue their love of Oregon history and will continue to use the resources available at the State Library in their future research.

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. Please help spread the word about this access. Permission has been granted to share the login widely within Oregon, and that includes posting the myON logo, URL, and a login information sheet on library websites, library Facebook pages, etc. What a great resource for summer reading programs!

Lincoln County Schools Won National Grant for Literacy and Libraries Last October, Lincoln County Schools was one of 48 recipients of the U.S. Department of Education's Innovative Approaches to Literacy (IAL) grant. They were awarded $745,000 to be spent over two years on Project SEAL: Students Engaged in Authentic Literacy. Being a coastal district, they are tying their literacy and activities to ocean education and taking advantage of local resources including National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the Coast Guard, OSU's Hatfield Marine Science Center, and the Oregon Coast Aquarium. Among other things, the grant added a .5 FTE media specialist, is increasing media assistant time by 1.5 hours a day, came with money to buy print and electronic resources, and provided for about 20 mini iPads for each school to be circulated through the school libraries. To learn more about specific projects, read the May 2013 issue of the District Dialog or a Model Classroom blog posting. Congratulations, Lincoln County Schools!

During the annual meeting of the American Library Association, The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), together with representatives from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), met with library representatives on Sunday, June 30, to hear more about what librarians can do to get ready to respond to patron requests for assistance in navigating new health insurance options in the Health Insurance Marketplace. "We applaud the CMS for recognizing the role that libraries play in connecting patrons with government agencies," said Maureen Sullivan, president of the American Library Association. "Our libraries look forward to guiding Americans navigate through the new health marketplace." The Marketplace website, HealthCare.gov will be the primary tool for delivering information to Americans about their health coverage options. As prominent providers of Internet access and digital literacy training for people who lack Internet connections at home, libraries can anticipate intensified demand for computer services. IMLS and CMS will work cooperatively to make sure that libraries are aware of and able to connect patrons with information resources and community partners who are trained enrollment assistors. IMLS has also awarded $286,104 to OCLC to support the effort through its flagship public library program WebJunction.org. The goal is to assure that librarians have the information and connections with local experts needed to connect their patrons to information about the Health Insurance Marketplace when open enrollment begins October 1, 2013. OCLC will work closely with ZeroDivide, a social impact organization that helps underserved communities realize the transformative power of technology to improve health outcomes, to implement the program. ?Libraries are a lifeline for Americans who wouldn?t otherwise have access to information and communication technologies,? said Cathy De Rosa, OCLC Vice President for the Americas and Global Marketing, ?and now online access to health information is critical to leading a healthy, productive life. OCLC is proud to continue to support public libraries in ensuring that their communities stay connected to the information they need to thrive.? Libraries have a long history of meeting public demand for consumer health information. A recent IMLS study showed that an estimated 37 percent of library computer users (28 million people) use library computers and seek assistance from librarians for health and wellness issues, including learning about medical conditions, finding health care providers, and assessing health insurance options. "With the Marketplaces open enrollment beginning this fall, this grant is extremely timely and relevant and will enable libraries to be better prepared to assist Americans with healthcare enrollment and healthcare information,? said IMLS Director Susan Hildreth. ?We are happy to be working CMS to help the nation?s libraries be prepared to better serve the public.?

Join us to hear Susan Hildreth, director of the Institute of Museum and Library Services, present on a recent policy report, developed with the Campaign for Grade-level Reading, that highlights the role of libraries in early learning. The report also offers a plan of action for policy makers to build on current research and include libraries in early learning strategies. Attendees will learn about best practices for enhancing reading programs and how to participate in your community?s efforts to address literacy concerns. In addition, Lee Rainie, director of the Pew Research Center?s Internet & American Life Project, will describe the Project?s newly released report about the special role that libraries play in the life of families with children. Attendees will learn what matters to parents about their library experiences with their children, and how library programs and outreach can address those needs. * * *FREE!* 07/10/13 Five Clicks (or Fewer) to Census Data: Navigating the latest release of the American FactFinder ?

During that same time period, 4-year nonprofit institutions increased overall at 3 percent. However, for-profit institutions reported a 2 percent decrease. This First Look presents findings from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) fall 2012 data collection, which included three survey components: institutional characteristics for 2012-13-such as degrees offered, type of program, application information, and tuition and other costs; the number and type of degrees conferred from July 2011 through June 2012; and 12-month enrollment data for the 2011-12 academic year. Other findings include: * In 2012-13, of the 7,416 Title IV institutions in the United States and other jurisdictions, 3,110 were classified as 4-year institutions, 2,263 were 2-year institutions, and the remaining 2,043 were less-than-2-year institutions. * Institutions reported a 12-month unduplicated headcount enrollment totaling about 29 million individual students.

We have some accumulated building dust and general library particulates that we want to remove. Has anyone done a major library cleaning recently in the past 1-2 years with a professional cleaning company they would recommend? We are looking at making sure they have HEPA vacuum filters and air scrubbers to capture dust as it is kicked up. At this point we are not doing our HVAC ductwork, although we may do this down the road, so recommendations for either type of cleaning would be appreciated. Since we are on the coast we may potentially look at either Portland or even Salem for cleaners if they are the best and have reasonable pricing. Thank you!

Is this something that OLA could do for all of us, or Multnomah County, are you talking to them? Should we all be calling them? I certainly am not planning on stopping at a box or the store on the way to work on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays to provide my patrons with the newspaper, but I really hate the idea of not providing the paper on those three days. Here's the abbreviated article, if you missed it. The Oregonian will go to four-day home delivery By Brent Hunsberger, The Oregonian June 20, 2013 at 7:15 PM, updated June 21, 2013 at 12:36 PM The Oregonian, the state's largest and longest continuously published newspaper, will curb home delivery to four days a week and lay off some staff as it reorganizes operations to emphasize online news. The newspaper will continue to publish seven days a week. Advance Publications Inc., the paper's New Jersey-based owner, will close Oregonian Publishing Co. on Oct. 1 and begin operating The Oregonian and affiliate OregonLive.com through a subsidiary called Oregonian Media Group. ............................. See the full article at http://tinyurl.com/nxwagxf ............................... Continuing: The Oregonian, first published as the Weekly Oregonian in 1850, will be sold only on newsstands on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. It will be delivered to subscribers and available for single copy purchase on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Print subscribers will also get an electronic edition of each day's paper, and many retirement homes will continue to get daily print editions. LG: so can libraries be like retirement homes? OK, I don't like that analogy, but you know what I mean ;-) Thoughts? Leah ****************************** Leah M.

To: diedre08 at gmail.com *Will You Stand for Privacy?* *A Message to ALA Members from ALA President Barbara Stripling* In early June, reports of the National Security Agency's secret practices rang loudly around the world. News reports detailed PRISM, the U.S. government surveillance program that obtains the Internet records from ten U.S. companies: Verizon, Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook, PalTalk, AOL, Skype, YouTube, and Apple. It appears that phone records, emails, photos, and social networking activities have been collected and catalogued by the FBI and the NSA over the last seven years. ALA is saddened by recent news that the government has obtained vast amounts of personal information and electronic communications of millions of innocent people. The extent of the personal information received by the government is very troubling. Those of you who have been long-time members of ALA know that we have always argued that provisions in the USA PATRIOT Act encroach on the privacy expectations of library users. Worse, the surveillance law erodes our basic First Amendment rights, all while undermining the very fabric of our democracy. When we spoke out in 2001 against the passage of the PATRIOT Act, we were concerned about Section 215, a provision of the law that allowed the government powers to obtain "business records and other tangible things" from suspected terrorists. We were fearful that the government would come into libraries without warning and take library records on individual patrons without reasonable suspicion. Libraries were one of the first groups to publicly oppose the bill, and many legislators and privacy experts have noted that Congress would not have understood the chilling impact on privacy if librarians had not brought it to the nation's attention. Librarians were so vocal in their opposition to the law that Section 215 was called the "library provision." We could not have imagined then what is happening today. Today, in spite of the leak allegations, the government continues to use the "library provision" to vacuum up private communication records of Americans on a massive scale. Even the most cynical among us could not have predicted that the Obama Administration--an administration that campaigned on the promise of greater government transparency and openness--would allow a massive surveillance program to infringe upon the basic civil liberties of innocent, unsuspecting people. We understand the responsibility of the government to investigate terrorism and other harmful acts. But the need to protect the public does not mean that Americans have to relinquish their Fourth Amendment privacy rights in the process. ALA has already joined other civil liberties groupsto call for more legal review, judicial oversight, transparency and public accountability. Our country needs to find the right balance. We need to restore the balance between individual rights and terrorism prevention, and libraries are one of the few trusted American institutions that can lead true public engagement on our nation's surveillance laws and procedures. Libraries have the tools, resources and leaders that can teach Americans about their First Amendment privacy rights and help our communities discuss ways to improve the balance between First Amendment rights and government surveillance activities. And patrons are ready to learn about their privacy rights from their libraries. *Next Steps: Be a Leader at Your Library* We are calling on librarians to facilitate local public dialogues and educational sessions on government surveillance and transparency. To help libraries convene privacy forums and moderate public conversations, ALA is launching "ALA Liberty," a new privacy website that contains tools that librarians can use to host educational sessions and public forums that help Americans understand their First and Fourth Amendment rights. The website contains the following resources: Guide for Moderators(PDF) This document outlines the steps and process for moderators to convene a forum on privacy in their community. Libraries are a perfect location for this form of civic engagement. Librarians may choose to serve as moderators or find other individuals in the community to fill the moderator's role. This PDF contains the information necessary for moderators of a forum on privacy. Guide for Participants(PDF) Distribute this document to individuals participating in a library-hosted community discussion on privacy. It provides an overview of the deliberative process and outlines the privacy issues to be considered. Checklist for Convening a Forum on Privacy(PDF) This document outlines the steps needed to host a successful forum on privacy in your library. Choose Privacy Week Resources This offers videos that can be used for programming on surveillance. The site includes guest blogs from national privacy advocates and American Library Association t-shirts and posters. *Please do not respond to this email.* If you have any questions about the privacy toolkit, contact Jazzy Wright, press officer of the ALA Washington Office at jwright at alawash.org or (202) 628-8410 Barbara Stripling ALA President ------------------------------ Trouble viewing this email?

Hillary?s transcript is online at www.answerland.org/awards In this transcript, the patron was looking for resources for a research project on photography careers. Hillary sent the patron links to authoritative websites for the patron?s topic and targeted catalog searches from the patron?s home library system; she gave brief, but effective, instructions to the patron on how to place holds on books from the patron?s library catalog. Hillary also directed the patron to a database that would have good job information, as well as Photoshop tutorials. When she asked if the patron had enough to get started on the project, the patron asked for help in locating colleges that offered photography programs, since part of the assignment was to contact a college for information. Hillary sent some website links for photography program information and recommended checking college directories at the library, mentioning that a librarian would be able to help the patron find and use these types of books. Hillary also helped the patron to understand how to find a college?s contact information, so the patron could write the college for the information needed for the project. The Quality Team is impressed with Hillary?s excellent service throughout this interaction. She asked reference interview questions throughout to ensure that she was getting the patron the needed information. As soon as she had sent several links to the patron, she asked for the patron?s email address so the patron would get a copy of the transcript with all the links; at the end of the chat, she reiterated that she would add the email address to the chat, so the patron would get the transcript. Throughout the chat, Hillary had a very positive attitude with the patron and offered options and advice at every step of the interaction. Her ending to the chat exemplifies her attitude to the patron: ?I?m so happy you came to the library chat service for help? Good luck with your research!? She ended the chat by extending an invitation to the patron to come back anytime. As an expression of our appreciation, Hillary was presented with flowers and a certificate. Please join us in congratulating her! The Answerland Quality Team Stephanie Debner, Mt.

It has only been the last 10 year or so that LOC has given Dewey numbers to biographies other than 920-929. Most public libraries like to have biographies together and use the 920 numbers (usually just 921 or "B" for individual biographies.) However some libraries, particularly school libraries, may use subject numbers such as 796.357 for a bio of Babe Ruth. I have seen school libraries that use subject numbers and then put the name of the biographee under it for a Cutter number. e.g. 759/Matisse. I taught that it depends on what you want in your library and what your patrons want. The LOC prefers the subject number and therefore Ingram will do that unless you tell them to use something else for biographies- but that is more in line with LOC classification. If you have a lot of patrons who browse the biographies, then use B or 921 for all. If your patrons are doing reports on a subject, then put them with the subject. George Pilling 1535 S.

Governments at all levels are requiring their agencies to establish specific performance goals for each of its services or programs, preferably with performance measures (or indicators) stated in objective, quantifiable, and measurable terms. The current trend in the field of evaluation is a move from the more typical output oriented evaluation to the type of evaluation that measures impact ? outcome based evaluation or OBE. OBE focuses on two key questions: 1. How has your program/project made a difference in your community? 2. How are the lives of your program/project participants better as a result? As of 2013, LSTA competitive grants are required to incorporate outcome based evaluation. The Ready to Read state grant program is moving in that direction as well. This free training is to help libraries start down the road to implement OBE for grants, and normal services. * When and Where:* Tue, 07/23/2013 - 9:30am - 11:30am Oregon State Library 250 Winter St. NE Salem, Oregon 97301 *Check out these events and more at nwcentral.org* * * -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In other news, HFO is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, as well as its reaccreditation by Healthy Families America National Office.

Apparently the Early Learning Update email MaryKay sent out on libs-or was unreadable by many of you. You can read the whole newsletter online or just the bits and pieces of the newsletter that I copied and pasted below that may be of most interest to libraries: * ... I urge you to take advantage of and promote summer activities for children in your area. Learning opportunities are everywhere this time of year -- readings at your local library or the local museum, or volunteer to learn more about early literacy. Also, please spread the word about the Oregon Department of Education and the Oregon State Library's partnership connecting early literacy and nutrition for families through the Summer Meals program this summer, and the partnership between the Oregon College Savings plan and Oregon public libraries to provide more money to families for summer reading. Please click the links for details. * Over the next year, the ELC and OEIB will improve kindergarten readiness and 3rd grade reading proficiency through providing grant funds to literacy programs around the state that start early and involve parents, child care providers, and the community. [The State Library will send out information about this grant opportunity as soon as more information is available. The OEIB has been using a public library project, Ready to Learn, as one of the examples of the types of grants they would like to fund. Learn more about Ready to Learn on their FaceBook page https://www.facebook.com/readytolearnoregon] * The July ELC meeting will be held electronically at 12pm on July 18th and will be streamed for public access. Please check http://oregonearlylearning.com/early-learning-council/public-meetings/ for further meeting updates, agendas, and materials. * The August ELC meeting will convene August 13th from 12-3pm at the Broadway Commons, Peru Room 3rd Floor, 1300 Broadway St. NE, Salem. This meeting will be followed by a joint Early Learning Council/Oregon Education Investment Board from 3-5pm at the same location. Please stay tuned for more details. [I will not be able to attend the August ELC meeting so, if you go, please send me an email with any important highlights.] * The Early Learning Council Hub workgroup, led by ELC Chair Pam Curtis, is working to launch the Early Learning Hub Request for Application (RFA) in August. * The Kindergarten Assessment will launch statewide end of August 2013. * sign up for the Early Learning Hub e-mail list to stay current on timelines and next steps.

The hearing is timed to coincide with the July 19 Open Meeting of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), at which Commissioners will consider an E-rate Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM). "We are pleased Commerce Committee Chair John D. Rockefeller IV invited Linda and ALA to participate in this national forum," said Jeff Kratz, Assistant Director, ALA Office of Government Relations. "This is a wonderful recognition of our leadership on behalf of libraries and our communities in the E-rate program and is an important opportunity to showcase how libraries bring together critical internet access with a host of learning opportunities for K12 students and the general public." Many of you may be up to speed on all things E-rate, but a few words of background for those new to the term and recent E-rate news: - E-rate (also known as the Schools and Libraries Universal Service support mechanism) is a critical federal technology funding source for public libraries--providing over $100 million to support library connectivity each year. Eligible libraries and schools apply for and receive discounts for internet access, telecommunications services, and related internal wiring cost. With the help of the E-rate program, 70 percent of libraries now offer internet connections speeds greater than 1.5Mbps, compared with 15 percent a decade ago. - Each year more than $2 in E-rate funds are requested for every $1 available. Thus it is clear that the program needs substantially more funding to address the increasing broadband and other network needs of our libraries and schools (for more information on the "E-rate fiscal cliff", click here ). - Earlier this year, Senator Rockefeller, FCC Commissioner Jessica Rosenworceland others began calling for an "E-rate 2.0" to ensure the program meets the future connectivity needs of libraries and schools. - In June, President Obama announced ConnectED, which called on the FCC to modernize and leverage the E-rate program to connect 99 percent of America's students to the internet through high-speed broadband and high-speed wireless within five years. Taken together, there is a lot of momentum for taking a fresh look at this vital program. The ALA has been working closely with members of the E-rate Task Force to document how this investment of funds has made a difference in our communities, cultivate Congressional E-rate champions, develop library perspectives on how the program might be further improved, and "think boldly" as Susan Crawfordchallenged a standing-room only crowd at the ALA Annual Conference in Chicago when discussing ConnectED. There are several ways librarians nationwide can participate in this important effort to sustain and strengthen the E-rate program. 1. Both the hearingand the FCC meeting will be webcast. Log on and listen in. 2. If you live in a state with a senator that serves on the committee, let them know how your community benefits from the E-rate investment in library connectivity. 3. No matter where you live, share your E-rate and library broadband success stories with the ALA Office for Information Technology Policy. Email Marijke Visser and/or Larra Clark at mvisser at alawash.org and lclark at alawash.org. Here's how Cherryfield (Maine) Public Library Co-Director Cara Sawyer told her story: "We were proud to be the first library in our area to partner with the Smithsonian Museums for Interactive Video Conference Programs. Without our high-speed internet, there is no way we would even have a Tandberg Video Conferencing Device, never mind use it for such fabulous programming. The connection has also allowed us to use our Tandberg to connect with other library programs throughout the state for programs such as Lawyers in Libraries and informational sessions for small business with the IRS. Our little library would not exist in today's day and age without the support of E-rate, and the internet connection it supports. We have been dubbed 'The Little Library that Could'--but without E-rate...we couldn't!" "This is a critical time for librarians to show how we are working to fulfill--or are challenged in our attempt to fulfill--the vision of the 1996 Telecommunications Act to assure that no one is barred from benefiting from the power of the Information Age," said Larra Clark, director, Program on Networks, ALA Office for Information Technology Policy (OITP). "I'd like to give special thanks to Linda for being such a knowledgeable leader within the E-rate Task Force, and for bringing her years of experience and her advocacy to Washington, D.C., this week," Marijke Visser, associate director, Program on Networks, added. While Commissioners will consider the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on July 19, it likely won't be available for days or weeks to follow. Stay tuned on the District Dispatch as we share Linda Lord's testimony and more details on the hearing and rulemaking. http://www.districtdispatch.org/2013/07/senate-e-rate-hearing-to-feature-maine-state-librarian/ -- *Diedre Conkling** Lincoln County Library District P.O.

My consulting work includes library facility assessment and planning which I do in association with architects. Typically, communities are looking for square footage standards to help guide their planning. Frequently, these days one hears someone say that public libraries can be smaller because of e-books, digital content, and so forth. I believe this is, in general, a mistaken assumption. As I help plan libraries, what I hear in community needs assessment after community needs assessment is that residents want spaces in the library, people space - - small meeting spaces, conference rooms, programming space for children, for teens, and for adults, meeting room space for communities, maker spaces, silent space, quiet space, collaborative space - - in other words, space for people. Public libraries are first about people. And while it is likely that our physical collections will become smaller because of e- content, our service populations have generally grown since our libraries were first built, and will continue to grow. This combined with the multi-various ways people want to use the library accounts for why new public libraries are larger per capita than in the past. Our Oregon State standards for facilities are useful in that they state a general approach to library facilities planning, which seems still to make a lot of sense. Specifically, the OLA standards say this as a general rule: "Spacious, modern facilities are essential for good library service. Library facilities should be conveniently located and easily accessible to all segments of the population. The minimum space requirements shown below refer to the total gross square footage in all library facilities, including branches and mobile or portable facilities. The minimum space requirements are only a rule-of-thumb for facilities planning. Space needs of a facility may be less if significant library activities are being provided by contract or by another branch. Projecting space needs based upon local library service goals, as part of the development of a library building program, is recommended as the most reliable method of planning library facilities. I submit that it would be helpful if our revised state standards pointed people in the direction of national norms for new construction of public libraries. For example, I recently calculated square footage of new main library buildings in 2012, using data from Library Journal http://lj.libraryjournal.com/2012/11/buildings/year-in-architecture-2012-pub lic-library-data/. LJ provides this data annually for public and academic libraries. LJ also provides a multi-year summary that includes construction costs, and other useful data. Of 33 new library construction projects, I pulled out the main library projects (as distinct from branches or system headquarters). I calculated the square footage per capita and they range from a low of .91 to over 3 SF/per capita. The median of the 8 main library projects is 1.31 - 1.63 SF/capita. (I limited my analysis to main library projects because I was doing this for a client with a main library project.) It is reasonable to assume that these new constructions are calculated with due consideration for new technologies and community input and deliberation over contemporary and future service needs. Paying attention to them and pointing our library community to national norms and trends is as useful a guide as any other. I hope that the revised OLA standards for facilities will retain the essence of the opening paragraph and respectfully suggest that in addition the standards either point people to the LJ data, or better yet, provide the analysis of the data, which essentially would establish a square footage per capita range. Respectfully yours, Ruth Metz Ruth Metz Ruth Metz Associates Portland Oregon P.S. These are the OLA Standards for Facilities (revised in 2008) G. FACILITIES (Revised 2008) Spacious, modern facilities are essential for good library service. Library facilities should be conveniently located and easily accessible to all segments of the population. The minimum space requirements shown below refer to the total gross square footage in all library facilities, including branches and mobile or portable facilities. The minimum space requirements are only a rule-of-thumb for facilities planning. Space needs of a facility may be less if significant library activities are being provided by contract or by another branch. Projecting space needs based upon local library service goals, as part of the development of a library building program, is recommended as the most reliable method of planning library facilities. Threshold Standards In order to meet threshold standards, each Oregon public library shall: Provide a book drop when library is closed. Provide a designated area to meet the needs of children. Provide separate staff work area. Provide a business telephone with a listed number. Comply with ADA standards. Provide sufficient parking. Provide sufficient signs identifying the library, directing the public to the library, and within the library. Provide a facility that is safe, secure, and well lighted. Provide a public restroom, sufficient heating, and ventilation. Provide facilities that are adaptable for technology. Analyze space needs not less than every ten years, using current library facility planning materials. Population served* Minimum space requirements 0 - 3,999 3,050 square feet 4,000-49,999 3,050 square feet for the first 4,000 population and 0.76 square feet per capita in excess of 4,000 population 50,000+ 38,750 square feet for the first 50,000 and 0.61 square feet per capita in excess of 50,000 population. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

In a letter released this morning, FTRF, ALA, and the other groups led by the Center for Democracy and Technology demanded that technology companies be permitted to release information about the number of requests for information under the USA Patriot Act and other authorities, as well as that the government itself release its own data on surveillance. >From the letter: "As an initial step, we request that the Department of Justice, on behalf of the relevant executive branch agencies, agree that Internet, telephone, and web-based service providers may publish specific numbers regarding government requests authorized under specific national security authorities, including the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and the NSL statutes. We further urge Congress to pass legislation requiring comprehensive transparency reporting by the federal government and clearly allowing for transparency reporting by companies without requiring companies to first seek permission from the government or the FISA Court." Today's letter includes an appeal to the country's innovative tradition: "Just as the United States has long been an innovator when it comes to the Internet and products and services that rely upon the Internet, so too should it be an innovator when it comes to creating mechanisms to ensure that government is transparent, accountable, and respectful of civil liberties and human rights." See CDT's full post on the letter. Here's press coverage about the letter from the Washington Post and New York Times, and a post on Yahoo's policy blog . Campaign for Reader Privacy calls for new privacy legislation ALA today also joined with its partners in the Campaign for Reader Privacyto call on Congress to pass legislation to restore privacy protections for bookstore and library records that were stripped by the Patriot Act as a first step toward reining in what the group calls "runaway surveillance programs." The statement points out that, "Two years ago, Democratic and Republican members of Congress introduced a bill requiring the government to show that those whose reading records it wishes to gather are actually suspected of criminal activity--something that is required by the Fourth Amendment, which protects us from unreasonable searches and seizures, and the First Amendment, which guards our right to access information of our own choosing. But Congress ignored that bill and reauthorized what we now know are flawed, dangerous powers." It continues, "What law-abiding Americans are reading is nobody's business." See the full Campaign for Reader Privacy statement here. The Campaign for Reader Privacy was established in 2004 by ALA, the American Booksellers Association, the Association of American Publishers, and PEN American Center. History of support for privacy protections The Freedom to Read Foundation and ALA have long been concerned about and prioritized education and advocacy around reader privacy issues as fundamental to our right to access information. FTRF has engaged in several litigation efforts (including John Doe and ACLU v. Holder and Library Connection v. Gonzales) to mitigate the excesses of the Patriot Act and other post-9/11 surveillance initiatives. The ALA Office for Intellectual Freedom sponsors Choose Privacy Week and cosponsors the new ala.org/liberty site, which includes the Privacy Toolkit created several years ago to help libraries provide education about privacy and secure the privacy of their users. ALA is also part of the "Stop Watching Us" coalition, a broad, bipartisan organizing effort to demand accountability around surveillance. At the ALA Annual Conference last month, the ALA Council passed a resolutionin support of privacy, protection for whistleblowers, and increased government transparency. http://ftrf.site-ym.com/blogpost/852091/166909/FTRF-ALA-join-efforts-to-protect-privacy-and-increase-transparency-around-surveillance -- *Diedre Conkling** Lincoln County Library District P.O.

The original survey, conducted nearly 10 years ago, was the first comprehensive study to assess the condition of U.S. collections. It examined the state of preservation across the entire spectrum of collecting institutions, large and small, from internationally renowned art museums and research libraries to local historical societies and specialized archives. The results were published in the groundbreaking A Public Trust at Risk: The Heritage Health Index Report on the State of America?s Collections and reported that 4.8 billion artifacts held in public trust were at risk and that 190 million were in need of immediate care. Heritage Preservation and IMLS have entered into a $338,554 cooperative agreement to complete the study in 2015. The project will receive an additional $100,000 of support from the National Endowment for the Humanities. The new Heritage Health Index, HHI II, will use a similar instrument and methodology to the 2004 study to see what changes have taken place in collections care in the U.S. during the last ten years. HHI II will examine the extent and effectiveness of preservation activities and initiatives during that time and will recommend actions to improve the care of collections and ensure that they will be available for public access now and in the future. Since the Heritage Health Index was first conducted, there has been a significant increase in museums and libraries collecting digital material or digitizing collections. HHI II will address this by including questions asking how institutions are caring for digital artifacts. It will also determine how creating digital surrogates may be improving access to paper, photograph, audiovisual, and other collections, while protecting them from damage due to handling. ?IMLS takes a leadership role in caring for collections held in public trust in thousands of libraries, museums, archives and historical societies throughout the U.S.,? said IMLS Director Susan H. Hildreth. ?I am delighted that we will once again support the Heritage Health Index. The findings of this important national survey will help us continue to make wise investments in conservation so that future generations can learn from the past and make new discoveries that will enrich the educational, cultural, and civic life of our nation.? ?Cultural heritage collections contain our history and identity and are the building blocks for research, education, and public programs in the humanities,? said NEH Acting Chairman Carole Watson. ?New knowledge of the conservation needs and achievements of collecting institutions, gained from a second survey, will provide essential information to the nation?s institutions and also inform NEH?s own work.? Heritage Preservation?s President Lawrence Reger said, ?IMLS and NEH continue to provide critical leadership for improving the care of collections. Heritage Preservation is pleased to partner with them to provide solid information that is used consistently by the field to measure achievement and guide future planning.?

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. The remaining application deadline for 2013 is: (postmarked by) August 15th. Grants will be awarded August 31st. The names of grant recipients will be posted on the Foundation's website a few days after grants are awarded. Acceptance packets are usually mailed 14-18 days after grants are awarded. Please DO NOT waste money sending your application by Express or Certified Mail. The application deadline is based on postmark date, not arrival date. Application guidelines and forms may be downloaded from the Foundation's website at: www.librifoundation.org. For more information about The Libri Foundation or its Books for Children program, please contact Ms. Barbara J. McKillip, President, The Libri Foundation, PO Box 10246, Eugene, OR 97440. 541-747-9655 (phone); 541-747-4348 (fax); libri at librifoundation.org (email).

Ask your congressional representative today to vote *YES* on the Amash amendment in the Defense Appropriations Bill, H.R. 2397. Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI) has introduced an amendment to the Defense Appropriations Bill, H.R. 2397, that would stop funding the National Security Agency's warrantless surveillance programs. Act now: http://capwiz.com/ala/callalert/index.tt?alertid=62783871 *Use This Message:* "The Amash amendment would limit the NSA domestic call metadata program so that it could no longer collect such data in bulk. It could only use 215 orders to collect phone records on an individual who is the subject of a terrorism or espionage investigation. It would be a major reform. Please vote *YES* on the Amash proposal." The Amash proposal could make a big difference-a vote for it is a vote against the National Security Agency's bulk collection of telephony metadata collections. There is little time, so phone calls are recommended over emails. The proposal has bipartisan co-sponsorship, including support from Reps. Conyers, Mulvaney, Polis, and Massie. Facts about the Amash Amendment: 1. The Amash proposal is an amendment to the Defense Appropriations Bill (H.R. 2397) coming to a vote in the House, likely tomorrow, Wednesday, July 24th. The proposal would stop funding NSA's warrantless surveillance programs. 2. The Administration has confirmed that Section 215 of the USA Patriot Act has been broadly interpreted and for seven years has tracked every phone call everyone in the US has made. 3. While the administration initially claimed that the program was very rarely used, recent testimony indicates the opposite: the database is searched and innocent people not connected with any suspected terrorist, are caught up in the surveillance. 4. While this amendment would not halt all NSA surveillance activities, it does take an important step requiring that this particular authority can only be used to collect information on those who are actually the subject of an investigation. 5. House leadership introduced a "red herring" amendment that only serves to reinforce current law and all its excesses - A vote YES for the Nugent amendment does NOT solve the problem. -- *Diedre Conkling** Lincoln County Library District P.O.

The one-person library presents many unique challenges for the librarian. Lacking big budgets, staff, and often time, the solo librarian must be both the strongest advocate for their library and the face of the library, while running all the behind-the-scenes operations. This webinar will address time management issues and help solo librarians prioritize tasks to avoid feeling overwhelmed. The webinar will also address strategies for advocating for your library and managing/effecting change where you might not have direct control, finding resources, help, and mentors. Presenter Patti McCall is Reference & Instruction Librarian, at the University of Central Florida, Orlando. Participants will learn: * Ways to advocate for your library through outreach and marketing * Proven time management techniques * How to manage upward/effecting change in areas where you do not have direct control * How to identify helpful resources (mentors, help, professional organizations, networking, professional development) Fees: LLAMA members: $49 Non-LLAMA member $59 LLAMA group rate (5 or more people at one site) $199 Non-LLAMA group rate (5 or more people at one site) $239 Register online: http://tinyurl.com/3zhtecm For questions about this webinar or other LLAMA programs, contact Fred Reuland. freuland at ala.org About the Library Leadership and Management Association The Library Leadership and Management Association (www.ala.org/llama) advances outstanding leadership and management practices in library and information services by encouraging and nurturing individual excellence in current and aspiring library leaders.

Emily http://www.districtdispatch.org/2013/07/join-free-google-hangout-july-30-revisiting-cipa-10-years-later/ The American Library Association (ALA) and Google, Inc., will host national library, education, technology, legal and policy experts for a national symposium considering the impact of the Children?s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) on access to electronic information July 29 and 30. Librarians nationwide can join the virtual conversation with two Google Hangouts on July 30. The first Hangout will start at 11:00a.m. EDT and focus on an ?Introduction and Overview of CIPA 10 Years Later.? The second one will share ?Symposium Themes and Conclusions? starting at 12:15 p.m. EDT. Participants will join a wide range of experts as they share insights looking at legal, ethical, and political implications of how the CIPA requirements have been implemented in the past 10 years. Did CIPA meet its intended goals, and have there been unintended consequences? *?Revisiting the Children?s Internet Protection Act: 10 Years Later?* is part of ALA?s Office for Information Technology Policy (OITP) and Office for Intellectual Freedom?s (OIF) larger project on CIPA and access to information, made possible through support of Google, Inc. A white paper will be released this fall. Here?s how to join the conversation: - You can watch the live stream directly on YouTube on the ALA Washington Office channel ( https://www.youtube.com/user/ALAWashingtonOffice/). ALA will tweet the URL using #CIPA_ALA13 at 10:45am EDT, right before the Hangout goes live. - You can also tweet @oitp using our hash tag #CIPA_ALA13. We?ll be watching the Twitter feed and passing these comments to the speakers, as well. Participants are encouraged to actively share their experiences, reflections and questions via tweets and online comment boards. ALA will use the back-channel conversation to inform our ongoing work on libraries and the impacts of filtering on access to information. The Hangouts also will be archived on the ALA Washington Office YouTubechannel after the event. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The final vote was 205 FOR the Amash amendment and 217 AGAINST. 111 Democrats united with 94 Republicans to defund the NSA's blanket surveillance of Americans not suspected of any threat to national security. The amendment is one of the closest votes in the last decade addressing a needed reform of any kind in the nation's surveillance laws and practices. If the Amash amendment had passed (read Amash amendment gains support), it would not have allowed appropriations for some of the NSA secret mass surveillance programs as part of the Defense Appropriations bill. ALA and many other groups had put on targeted grassroots alerts to all members of the House of Representatives. Both the White House and the NSA community had strongly opposed Amash. Though not successful, clearly the grassroots efforts made a dent--like a shot over the bough. ALA would like to thank all those who voted in favor of this amendment and hope to garner even more support as we continue to work on these issues! http://www.districtdispatch.org/2013/07/amash-amendment-fails-205-217/ -- *Diedre Conkling** Lincoln County Library District P.O.

Governments at all levels are requiring their agencies to establish specific performance goals for each of its services or programs, preferably with performance measures (or indicators) stated in objective, quantifiable, and measurable terms. The current trend in the field of evaluation is a move from the more typical output oriented evaluation to the type of evaluation that measures impact ? outcome based evaluation or OBE. OBE focuses on two key questions: 1. How has your program/project made a difference in your community? 2. How are the lives of your program/project participants better as a result? As of 2013, LSTA competitive grants are required to incorporate outcome based evaluation. The Ready to Read state grant program is moving in that direction as well.

This may be of interest to some of you. Please see the following summary below and these links for more information: * Libraries Super Wi-Fi Pilot http://giglibraries.net/Default.aspx?pageId=1628969 * Initial Statement of Interest: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1FYWLGCF2Qq61OHPwlStR7josfGMLRBjjeBFrYGY8Xrs/viewform * About Gigabit Libraries Network http://giglibraries.net/about For those interested in the Libraries Super Wi-Fi Pilot being organized by the Gigabit Libraries Network: * Gigabit Libraries Network intends to have libraries piloting use of TV White Space (often referred to as Super Wi-Fi because it can pass through trees, walls, etc. and has longer range than traditional wifi). * Short schedule: Pilots chosen in August. Equipment deployed in September. Operational October, November, and December. * The equipment (a base station and 3 remote stations) will be provided by equipment manufacturers for the pilot projects. At the end of the calendar year, if the pilot projects would like to purchase the equipment, cost will be somewhere under $10K. If the pilot projects do not want to purchase the equipment, they will need to give it back. This amount should be firmed up prior to the beginning of the pilot. * The systems should be connected to a wired back haul and are not intended to provide primary broadband capacity for libraries with limited broadband. * Libraries will use "surplus capacity" bandwidth to provide downstream bandwidth to the remote stations. Surplus capacity is measured as that capacity in excess of what a library requires during peak library use. * The wifi is accessible along the path between the base and the remote station. The remote station can be a few miles from the base (2-7 ideally). Maybe more depending upon the situation. End point bandwidth is generally 3Mbps depending on the availability of surplus capacity. Another option is for libraries to purchase dedicated bandwidth for this service. * Equipment is supposed to be easy to set up. It is currently proprietary but the manufacturer is working to make it 802.11af compliant. Power for the system is currently provided through POE devices but DC devices should be available soon * Interested libraries should check the terms of service of their internet providers to make sure extending use of the internet connection beyond the library walls for free to the community is in compliance with the terms of service. * There may be e-rate issues. It is currently understood that this additional service would not be e-rate compliant but there may be plans to seek a waiver based on the fact that it is a part of library missions to provides services in the communities. SHLB plans to be involved in helping to formulate this argument. Some states are looking at alternatives to help libraries support the added cost. For example Michigan's R & E network is sponsoring the surplus capacity for the duration of the pilot. It sounds like other telcos may be interested in similar partnerships. * Gigabit Libraries Network wants to do at least 6 pilots. They may do more. * Pilots will be chosen based upon the expected impact of extending the library's wifi network. Are there particular populations or geographic regions who would benefit from access to the library's internet via wifi outside of the library? Note the requirement for an adequate base of broadband to build upon. * Completing the Request for Information results in a conversation with Don Means from the Gigabit Libraries Network. Don will work with the library to create a project plan.

For the photos that go with this piece go to District Dispatch. http://www.districtdispatch.org/2013/07/change-looks-impossible-when-you-start/ Change Looks Impossible When You Start Posted on July 29, 2013 by Jazzy Wright "*Change looks impossible when you start, inevitable when you finish"* - Bob Hunter There seems to never a really be a great opportunity to take time out and visit legislators. It takes energy, a time commitment and it can sometimes seem futile and a bit overwhelming. But I have learned from the many American Association of School Librarians (AASL) and American Library Association (ALA) Washington Office folks that it *is* worth the effort - and the more of us that do it, the more effective we are. Legislators listen. But they'll listen more to 500 of us than to one of us. Somewhere, a while back I got riled up about the state of school librarians. Their disappearance from schools is more than troubling, it's a downright disaster. So I joined my state school library association, listened to all the folks in leadership and began to learn about how to make change. It's not fast, and it's not easy... Then I read this quote from Winona LaDuke: "*Change will come. As always, it is just a matter of who determines what that change will look like".* I then decided that it was time for me to help make change, and what it should look like. That meant that it was time to step up and actually leave my house and go talk to people. I've visited legislators during state Legi-days, but this time, it was important - because a visit this time is a chat about things that are happening now - and can truly make a difference. So three phone calls later, I had three appointments with my legislators. At the time of my visit to Congressman Jared Huffman's (D- CA) office in San Rafael Calif., there was no education business on the table, but armed with handouts, my chat with his fabulous aide Valerie turned into a discussion about the congressman's views on education and other timely local topics. California schools are at the very bottom of the bottom in terms of school library service, and I thought it was important that he know this. When he was my local State Assemblyman, I spoke with him personally about library issues, including at his fundraiser events, so it was helpful to be able to remind Valerie of his already stated commitment to quality education including school librarians. What worked really well, was that later, when the House version of the education bill came out and no word of librarians is contained in it at all, I emailed to Valerie who responded right away with a "I'll research this." She did and returned with a response that gave further information about what his feelings were about the bill. A brief back and forth of emails about the Senate version, and the House version ensued with a promise to keep me in mind when education issues come up. A fun aside: a few days later, Valerie emailed me to tell me that she had chatted with the Washington education aide and that a former student of mine in Junior High - said hello! So connections are made in the darndest places! Senator Boxer's local office is in Sacramento. I love Sacramento, but it is 1 and a half hours away from me so when I realized I had no access to a car on the day of my appointment (something I really should have thought through...) I ended up chatting with her Field Representative Brandon via email and phone. I sent him the handoutsand then we set a time for a phone call. He called at our appointed time with some insightful questions, and mentioned that Senator Boxer had her own concerns with the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) Senate version. She's got a bill (the Afterschool for America's Children Act) for after school programs on the floor right now and wants to see them merged. I pointed out to him that most of those programs are held in libraries - both public and school - and that supporting school libraries is an important part of supporting those programs she holds near and dear. He agreed and said that he would mention that to the Senator and to the Senator's Washington Education Aide. He was also going to set up an appointment for me to visit with the Washington Aide during my visit to D.C. in early August. Last, but not least, a few days later, I took a drive into San Francisco for my visit with Assistant Field Representative Katie and her two interns in Senator Feinstein's office. I'm always up for a nice visit to the city and this day was no exception. Twenty-four floors up with an amazing view, we discussed school libraries and college libraries. Again, my handoutswere the center of our discussion I used them as talking points - the AASL infographicis really a visual bulleted list of important factoids about school libraries, so using it helps move the discussion in a logical way and helps me to not forget important points.(Download the infographic.It is a bonus to be able to say that this infographic was designed by a student at my school!) Senator Feinstein has a school named after her in the City and she spends time there reading with students in the library so she is aware of schools and libraries. It was important to remind her that when it comes time to vote, she really is voting for a strong school library for *her* school as well as in all other schools in America. *Here's the Cliff Notes version of tips for a visit: * Call or email to make an appointment. Introduce yourself and tell what you want to talk about. 1. Ask to talk to the person in charge of educational issues 2. Bring a visual aid. The AASL infographicand quotes, a parent brochure, and a picture of kids in a library are all good things to start with. I also included a copy of the section of the of the ESEA bill (Subpart 2) that highlights librarians. I wanted to make sure they knew and understood which part I was asking them to keep their eye on. 3. Plan on having a 15 minute meeting. It's sort of 11 minutes longer than a typical "elevator speech" - and that's if you're going up 20 or so floors. When I sat down with Katie and the interns, I started in with: 'I am going to give you my elevator speech - by the time we're through, I would like you to know and understand which part of ESEA I want you to know about, why it's important and why I think the Senator should endorse - publically and loudly - this section as it moves through the process." Getting to the point right away is important - distill your "ask" to distinct points so that they know and understand exactly what you want. 4. Dress for business. Yes, it's only 15 minutes, but you can change in the car. Pull out the black pants, nice shoes, dressy shirt - guys wear a coat/tie - and walk in with the confidence of knowing you are supporting a worthy cause. 5. Be interested in them. I discovered that one of the interns went to school in Berkeley, Calif., where I know the librarians. The other went where there were no librarians- we were able to use those two experiences as discussion starters. 6. Whenever you can, remind them that the meeting is not about librarian jobs--it's about what kids need in the 21st Century. *Days later: Katie from Senator Feinstein's office called with an update and with a different set of concerns about the bill. I am grateful to have received this email update and have responded to it. It's this connection that makes it work - and hopefully if others will do this, then the Legislative Aides will have hundreds of librarians on their email list to respond to - and then receive hundreds of responses....a sure-fire way to instigate change. * *Connie is a teacher-librarian and co-chairs the **GODORT Gov Docs Kids Committee* *.* http://www.districtdispatch.org/2013/07/change-looks-impossible-when-you-start/ -- *Diedre Conkling** Lincoln County Library District P.O.

That's the question raised in one of Dr. Anthony Bernier's new books published this summer. Transforming Young Adult Services , a 232-page textbook published by Neal-Schuman, an imprint of the American Library Association, is "designed to provoke classroom debate primarily among graduate students and faculty," said Bernier , an associate professor at the San Jose State University School of Library and Information Science (SJSU SLIS). Bernier said working on the book was "an exciting intellectual journey because it required synthesizing young adult librarianship whole, not in bits and pieces, and seeing our intervention historically. Young adult librarianship is an area with an out-of-date research record, and so I hope Transforming will be true to its name and spark rejuvenation." Bernier has two new books out this summer. His other work, titled The Collected Wit and Wisdom of Dorothy M. Broderick, is a 260-page trade paperback published by VOYA Press. This collection of essays by Bernier and two other authors, along with selections of Dorothy Broderick's own writing, is a type of publication called a "festschrift," Bernier said. "That's German for a kind of analytical memorial to a luminary in the field." The work celebrates the contributions of Broderick, who not only co-founded the most important magazine in young adult librarianship - Voice of Youth Advocates, or VOYA - but was an influential advocate for intellectual freedom until her death in 2011. "My hope is that it will be appreciated not only by the many people who knew Dorothy, but by students she has yet to inspire," Bernier said. Bernier, who was asked to edit this collection, said the process of reading and selecting Broderick's work, collecting the other essays, writing his own, and then editing the material, took about two years. In addition to his two new books regarding young adult librarianship published this summer, Bernier traveled in June 2013 to Seoul, South Korea, at the invitation of the government, to deliver the keynote address for the Seventh International Symposium on Library Services for Children and Young Adults. His speech covered recent developments in youth services in the U.S. He also presented a paper on research he conducted on youth volunteers in libraries. Bernier's research interests include history of libraries and library science, information literacy and instruction, libraries and society, serving multicultural populations, and young adult services. He is the principal investigator on a three-year National Leadership Grant, sponsored by the Institute of Museum and Library Services, to study young adult library spaces - a topic Bernier said he introduced to the library and information science (LIS) field. "Our research teams of six faculty and SLIS students are currently preparing several article manuscripts for publication," Bernier said, allowing the team to share their findings broadly with information professionals and scholars.

The activities and guidelines presented in the Tool-Kit are now available and will be of great value to libraries everywhere.

However, it is often left in the hands of a small group of senior managers. How can you involve more of the organization, effectively and efficiently, in creating or revising your plans? The starting point for engagement is a carefully designed strategic planning retreat. There are various choices you can make in preparing for an effective retreat. These choices can be implemented using various structural tools so that the meeting is productive and contributes to a strategic planning process that yields plans that all understand and are aligned to implement. Rick and Sam will share examples and tools for working on strategic planning with groups from 12 to 200 in size.

(Effectiveness Institute) Why are some clients or co-workers so frustrating to work with? Or more importantly, why would anyone think of YOU as a difficult person? For example, isn't it irritating when the person across the desk or on the phone can't seem to ever make a decision... or makes a snap decision only to change it a day later? In this highly interactive and engaging presentation, you will discover why "different" does not have to mean "difficult." Then you will learn the magic of making slight adjustments in your awareness and behavior that will have a significant impact on your ability to "click" with customers and co-workers. You will laugh as you identify your behavior style, as well as those with whom you work. While you laugh, you will also learn that people are different and that "intent" doesn't always equal "impact." In short, you will realize how to make work... less work!

I wanted to give folks an early heads-up on some very nice, free training opportunities! Early registration for Webjunction webinars now open! Impact Survey: Understand Your Community?s Technology Needs, Thursday, September 5, 2013 ? 11 am Pacific ? 60 min Registration: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/Impact_Survey.html The newly updated and recently launched Impact Survey is a full-service online survey tool designed for public library staff to understand community use of library technology services and how to improve those services. The Impact Survey evolved from the 2009 Opportunity for All study and makes the complex job of surveying patrons easy and fast at no cost to library staff. Collecting patron-level data on library technology use is tremendously beneficial to public libraries. Understanding your community?s unique technology needs is essential to providing patrons with useful technology services. Join us to learn how library staff can implement the Impact Survey and use the survey results to: ? Inform smart internal planning, strategy, and resource allocation ? Use local facts and figures to support advocacy and fundraising efforts when communicating with local decision makers and other stakeholders ? Improve their ranking with the Edge and other evaluation metrics ? Better serve their communities Presented by: Samantha Becker, Research Manager for the U.S. Impact Study at the University of Washington Information School Building a Digital Dodge City, Tuesday, September 10, 2013 ? 11 am Pacific ? 60 min Registration: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/Building_a_Digital_Dodge_City.html "What does digital inclusion mean for people in a community? All people, businesses, and institutions will have access to digital content and technologies that enable them to create and support health, prosperous, and cohesive 21st century communities." (Building Digital Communities: Getting Started) Building a digitally inclusive community requires buy-in and engagement from all sectors, with libraries playing a lead role alongside government, schools, businesses, and individuals. Using the principles and steps in Building Digital Communities: A Framework for Action, Dodge City, Kansas is engaging stakeholders, aligning interests, setting community-wide goals and developing demonstration projects. Join us for a conversation with the Dodge City leadership team discussing why they have prioritized a community-wide initiative, the challenges of working with multiple sectors (with diverging goals!), what they expect from the project and what they recommend to others considering a similar path. Presented by: ? Cathy Reeves, director, Dodge City Public Library ? Jane Longmeyer, Public Relations manager, City of Dodge City ? Greta Clark, professor, director of Multicultural Education, Dodge City Community College Leaving Fort Ref: Frontiers of Embedded Librarianship, Tuesday, September 24, 2013 ? 10 am Pacific ? 90 min Registration: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/Leaving_Fort_Ref_Frontiers_of_Embedded_Librarianship.html At the innovative Douglas County (Colo.) Libraries, librarians don?t just wait for the questions to come to them. They leave the building and embed the public library in the community. Through a series of projects and experiments, the Douglas County librarians have explored a new dimension of modern reference service, one that places their expertise at points of need to respond to the questions the public didn?t take to the library. By helping to define and answer questions in context, the embedded librarians add value to their community. Presented by: Jamie LaRue, director, Coble Galston, business librarian and Amy Long, Parker library manager, Douglas County Libraries (CO) Digital Literacy Training: Announcing a new monthly series by Washington State Library on topics related to Digital Literacy.

Presented by Joanna Milner, Multnomah County Library 40 Great Apps for Mobile Reference & Outreach December 18, 9:00-10:00am PT The proliferation of mobile apps has changed the ways how we search for and access information. Increasingly, the mobile platforms have become the preferred method of accessing information on-the-go. Librarians and information professionals can harness the potentials of these apps to provide innovative services, mobile content, and outreach. The speakers will discuss 40 apps in the categories of books and reference, business, health & fitness and government information, as well as to explore new ideas on how to integrate these apps into a mobile strategy for mobile reference and outreach.

Anyone attending the ALA Annual Conference in Chicago, for instance, could find about 100 sessions referencing the future and ranging from the Committee on the Future of University Libraries to "The Future is Now: Rural Libraries as Innovation Incubators." But this conversation becomes *far* more meaningful for libraries and the communities we serve when it takes place outside of Library Land, which is one reason I'm excited about the Aspen Institute's Dialogue on Public Librariesstarting later this week (August 3-5). With funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Aspen will convene leaders from libraries, but also executives from businesses (including publishing, technology and telecommunications), non-profits (such as the National Civic League), education experts, researchers, and officials from various levels of government. ALA Immediate Past President Maureen Sullivan will be there, as will Susan Hildreth, director of the Institute of Museum and Library Services. The multi-year effort will explore and champion new ways of thinking about U.S. public libraries. The working group will consider solutions to ensure public libraries are at the forefront of serving communities for years to come. Then, over the coming year, Aspen and select working group members will seek other engagement opportunities to ensure the vision includes diverse perspectives from across the library field and beyond. The conversations will result in a report that outlines the vision and makes recommendations that will spark ongoing conversations in subsequent years. "Libraries have always been a great equalizer in American society, serving as gateways to knowledge that have helped form the building blocks of our democracy," said Charles Firestone, executive director of the Aspen Institute Communications and Society Program. "We look forward to working with leaders in the field to ensure that public libraries remain relevant to the needs of our current and future generations as they have throughout our history." Whew. That's a tall order. It's a good thing Aspen has decades of experience convening conversations like the Knight Commission on the Information Needs of Communities in a Democracy . I've long been a fan of Aspen's work, and am pleased that ALA Office for Information Technology Policy's (OITP) policy brief on Confronting the Future and *American Libraries'* digital supplement "Digital Content: What's Next" are on the reading list for the dialogue, along with new data from the Pew Internet Project. You can read alongand even join the conversation via the Twitter hashtag #libraryvision, if you like. The project meshes well with OITP's Program for America's Libraries in the 21st Century (AL21C), begun five years ago, as well as our larger role advocating for policy that supports efforts of libraries to ensure access to electronic information as part of upholding the public's right to a free and open information society. OITP's focus is more outward than inward--less about what libraries are doing at the cutting edge (although we are also interested in that, too) and more about what is happening in the world that demands attention and even new library models and services. How can the ALA look into the telescope and help libraries reach the frontier more quickly and effectively? And how can we translate the rapid changes taking place in libraries into our national policy and advocacy efforts? This will be the focus of our own major initiative to undertake a systematic assessment of our work, engage new partners, try new approaches, and overall increase our capacity so that we may improve the strategic position of libraries through our policymaking and communications efforts. We have a high likelihood of grant funding to support this effort and hope to launch before the end the year. Recently my yoga instructor encouraged all of us to find the space balanced at the edge of ease and effort to move our practice forward. We don't want to hurt ourselves, but we must challenge ourselves to reach a little further than what is in our comfort zone. It's an amazing time to be working in libraries, and I look forward to the dialogue and engagement ahead as we find new strategies and collaborators to forge ahead on behalf of our communities http://www.districtdispatch.org/2013/07/stretching-into-the-future-with-a-national-dialogue-on-public-libraries/ -- *Diedre Conkling** Lincoln County Library District P.O.
