Return to top of page State Library News Oregon's Letters About Literature Winners Honored at State Library [LAL]On May 20th, the State Library hosted an awards celebration to honor Oregon's Letters About Literature contest winners. Local distinguished writer, Graham Salisbury, kicked off the successful event with a keynote address. Then, after receiving certificates and prizes, students read their letters to the audience of family members and special guests. The contest objective was for students to write to an author of their choice, conveying how the book they read changed them or the way they view the world. Congratulations, again, to our state's honorees: Level I (4th - 6th Grades) First Place: Lucy Dyal, Lake Oswego Runner-Up: Chloe Montague, Portland Honorable Mentions: Madeleine Moreland, Corvallis & Anonymous, Eugene Level II (7th & 8th Grades) First Place: Sylvani Starchild-St. Clair, Eugene Runner-Up: Camille Dupeyroux, Portland Honorable Mentions: Mia Bledsoe, Corvallis; Lizzy Palmquist, Salem; & Helen Rossmiller, Portland Level III (9th & 10th Grades) First Place: Chelsea Lin, West Linn Runner-Up: Jolie Maddock, Portland Honorable Mention: Amanda Ramage, Gresham This annual reading and writing program is sponsored by the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress. More information is available on the Letters About Literature web page. The book image represents a piece of envelope art which the Library of Congress has started featuring. Depression-Era Scrip in Oregon State Library Collection [scrip]Issuance of little scraps of paper (scrip) to serve as money was one of the unusual developments used to help local communities survive during the Great Depression. Since local banks were failing and there was a shortage of currency, local measures were taken to insure the continuation of trade & commerce. In Oregon, many cities, counties, and even school districts paid their employees in scrip. Scrip was issued in many different forms, emphasizing and promoting the economic products of the area. The Oregon State Library collection has six examples, issued on sheepskin and buckskin, as well as paper. In 1933, State Librarian Harriet Long wrote to local libraries and asked that samples be sent to the State Library. Much of our current access to history is based on the foresight of librarians of the past. Staff have added scanned images of the scrip and the letters to the State Library catalog. To view them, search the catalog for the subject: Oregon money. Launching We Dig Summer Reading and Saving for College [Dig]The Oregon College Savings Plan, Oregon State Library, and Oregon Library Association are partnering to present We Dig Summer Reading and Saving for College, the summer reading sweepstakes. Children and teens 0-18 years old who participate in their local public library's summer reading program are eligible to enter a drawing to win a $1,000 Oregon College Savings Plan or have $1,000 deposited into their existing account. Up to 15 winners will be selected statewide, three from each congressional district. Libraries identified on winning entries will receive $500 for their next summer reading program. Contest materials have been distributed to public libraries. Libraries may distribute entry forms in whatever way works best with your local summer reading program. All materials are free. Please contact Kathy Griffin if your public library needs more materials. Oregon Summer Reading Certificates Available Online The Oregon State Library and Oregon Department of Education are partnering to encourage public libraries, schools, and summer food sites to work together to engage youth in high-quality summer enrichment programs. We are providing public libraries and schools with bookmarks to promote summer food sites and Oregon summer reading certificates signed by Governor Kitzhaber. This partnership supports the Governor's 40-40-20 graduation goal by providing the sustenance youth need to be mentally alert and programming to maintain their reading skills during the summer. Data shows that participation increases in both free meal programs and enrichment programs, such as library summer reading programs, through partnerships. The 2013 Oregon Summer Reading Certificates are now available to download and print from the State Library website. Schools and libraries that ordered hardcopies should receive them by the first week in June. Oregon National Guard Newsletters Digitized by State Library [ONG]As a part of its mission to make government information more accessible to the citizens of Oregon, the Government Research Services team of the State Library has digitized a run of newsletters published by the Oregon National Guard. This includes issues of The Oregon Guardsman, the Oregon Guard Bulletin and On Guard that were published between 1921 and 1962. These newsletters are a rich source of historical information, including news about Guard units across Oregon, promotions in rank of Guard members, and photographs of Guard members, facilities, and activities. Scanned copies of the newsletters are stored in the Oregon Document Repository and can be searched or browsed from this page. Statewide Database Licensing Advisory Committee to Release RFP After many months of work, the Statewide Database Licensing Advisory Committee (SDLAC) expects to release a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the next statewide database contract in June 2013. In preparing the RFP, SDLAC members have consulted the LSTA Five Year Plan, reviewed RFPs from other states, and collected feedback from the Oregon library community via a survey conducted in March 2013. SDLAC expects to begin reviewing proposals for the next statewide contract in August and make a recommendation to the LSTA Council by November 2013. The current Gale/Cengage contract will expire in July 2014. Due to a reduction in LSTA allotments and increasing costs associated with electronic resources, it is possible that the State Library will no longer be able to subsidize the full cost of databases in the next contract. Libraries will want to prepare for the possibility that there may be fees associated with participating in the Statewide Database Licensing Program beginning in July 2014. More specific information will be available later as we have more information about the next contract. If you have any questions, please contact Arlene Weible, Electronic Services Consultant. Library Development Moves to New Office Space [Moving]This week, the Library Development team is moving to the other side of the State Library. Their new office suite is on the north side of the first floor. If you enter the lobby from the main entrance on the Capitol Mall, make a right instead of a left. You will find them in suite 104, which is on the right just before the glass doors that lead to the Talking Book and Braille Services front desk. LD staff will check email during the move, but replies could be delayed. There's a chance that some in LD will not have phone service until Wednesday the 5th. Note that phone numbers will stay the same. For an urgent matter during the first week of June, try LD first, but then as necessary, email or call (503-378-2464) Jessica Rondema, Executive Assistant, Library Administrative Services. Return to top of page Other Library News Springfield Public Schools Shows Value of Strong School Libraries [SPS]Lynn Lary is the Instructional Technology Specialist & Media/Library Coordinator for Springfield Public Schools. It was only a few years ago that district-level responsibility for school libraries fell to her, and despite not having a library background, she ran with it. Almost immediately, she worked with licensed and support library staff to create a program called Libraries Without Walls, and as part of that, they offered specialized training for district teachers to learn to use the libraries' resources - from anywhere. Along the way, they started BookTubes, a venue for students to create and post book promotion trailers. Recently Lynn published a blog posting about how library folks and she are integrating resources like the databases into their catalog and taking advantage of Gale widgets. Check out how usage of Kids InfoBits, a Gale database specifically for elementary students, increased over the last 3 years. The referenced critical issues lesson is a great example of how educational technology does not supplant the need for licensed school librarians and how collaboration between teachers and librarians results in positive outcomes for students. Springfield's situation is not without holes. For example, not every school has a licensed librarian. However, their efforts are proving the value in having a strong school library program. As written on the Libraries Without Walls homepage, "Far from shrinking into irrelevance, our libraries are embracing the opportunities for students to become discriminating users in a diverse information landscape and to develop the intellectual scaffolds for learning deeply through information."

The community-led approach helps the library to identify which traditional library roles are now redundant, and thus of little worth to the community, allowing both professional library staff and support staff to concentrate on those services that are meaningful to the public. Community-led service development allows both the community and its library staff to grow, become engaged in the civic sphere they share and find the best venues for individuals to pursue their aspirations for their primary needs of health and welfare, as well as life-long learning and the support of personal values.

During these intensive (and fun!) two day events, participants acquire an in-depth understanding of Zotero's capabilities, how to extend those capabilities, and how Zotero can best meet their users' needs. Participants also learn and share best-practices for teaching and supporting Zotero at their institution and approaches for developing institution-specific documentation. The workshops are targeted at librarians and anyone else who supports or wants to support Zotero at their institution or department. While basic familiarity with Zotero is recommended, there are no technical prerequisites for participating. The cost to attend the workshops is $350. Due to the hands-on nature of the events, enrollment is limited. Sign up while there is still space! The workshops will be conducted by Sebastian Karcher, one of Zotero's most active community developers, who has a wealth of experience using, supporting, and developing Zotero.

The first article in Volume 3, Issue 1 of the SRJ explores how cartoons have helped define public perception and understanding of "librarians, library funding, and the digitization of information," as well as the history of libraries in the U.S. Another article offers advice for librarians "embedded" in online programs regarding the Technology, Education, and Copyright Harmonization Act (TEACH Act) and its implications for their practice. The third article surveys the variety of methods being used to determine the value of a public library, including both its tangible and intangible benefits. Editor-in-Chief Elyse Meyers, also a SJSU SLIS graduate student, introduces the articles with an essay on the issue's theme of "definition." This is the fifth issue of the journal, which was launched in 2010. Each issue is developed by current SJSU SLIS graduate students selected by a competitive process to serve one-year terms on the editorial team. Working with SJSU SLIS faculty advisor and associate professor Dr. Anthony Bernier , the student editors review, select and edit manuscripts submitted by MLIS students at SJSU SLIS and students from other graduate programs worldwide.

If you have an office or study room which has no name, you could place a plaque on it for a large donor. You might establish "giving levels" and have a large plaque with several levels indicated and individual name plates for donors in that category, e.g., $1,000 - $4,999, $5,000 - $9,999, $10,000 - $24,999, etc. There could be a level named for your first library director, one named for Andrew Carnegie, one for the founder of your city, etc. -Bob -----Original Message----- From: libs-or-bounces at listsmart.osl.state.or.us [mailto:libs-or-bounces at listsmart.osl.state.or.us] On Behalf Of Esther Moberg Sent: Wednesday, June 05, 2013 11:32 AM To: libs-or List Subject: [Libs-Or] Library donor plaque or recognition?

The Strengthening America's Schools Act, a bill that would reauthorize the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), was introduced today in the United States Senate. While this legislation has yet to be assigned a number, this bill is a huge victory for libraries as it creates a specific provision for school libraries and implements the Improving Literacy and College and Career Readiness Through Effective School Library Program. The Improving Literacy and College and Career Readiness Through Effective School Library Program does several things that the ALA Washington Office has been pushing Congress for many years by defining school libraries as: 1. Staffed by a State certified or licensed school librarian; 2. Having up-to-date books, materials, equipment, and technology (including broadband); 3. Including regular collaboration between classroom teachers and school librarians to assist with the development and implementation of curriculum; 4. Supports the development of digital literacy skills. Furthermore, this legislation will allow for the Department of Education to award three year grants to low income school libraries to maintain up-to-date school libraries, staffed by a state-certified school librarian, and for other purposes relating to a school library. The Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee will hold a mark-up on this bill on June 11. http://www.districtdispatch.org/2013/06/esea-reauthorization-bill-introduced-in-u-s-senate/ -- *Diedre Conkling** Lincoln County Library District P.O.

Many institutions have used grant-funded projects to enhance the level of care they can provide for their collections, and sometimes even to jump-start their preservation programs. The Oregon State Historical Society will host ?Creating and Funding Preservation Projects to Enhance Collection Care?, a one-day workshop from 9 a.m. ? 4 p.m., Aug. 1 at 1200 SW Park Ave., Portland. Register online at WESTPAS Workshop. "Creating and Funding Preservation Projects to Enhance Collection Care" is a one-day workshop that begins with identifying and setting priorities among collection needs. With a clear sense of needs, the second part of the workshop reviews sources of grant funding available to your institution. The third part of the workshop addresses the key preservation questions asked on grant applications - participants answer the questions on behalf of their institutions, building the elements of a proposal for their own collection. The workshop emphasizes working collaboratively with colleagues to develop and receive feedback on project proposals. Administrators and staff responsible for care of the collection in all types of libraries, museums and archives, and those without grant writing experience specific to preservation will benefit from this workshop. By the end of the workshop day, participants will have outlined a preservation project proposal specific to their institution; identified possible funding sources; and tested their ideas with other workshop participants. When possible, two attendees from an institution should attend so they can work together on project development. By registering for the workshop, the institution commits to supporting the attendee(s) to achieve the workshop's goals to develop and submit proposals for preservation projects to enhance collection care.

In a public hearing on Thursday morning, Senator Diane Feinstein (D-CA) indicated that the order is just a "regular" renewal of an order that started seven years ago. We are gravely concerned, but unfortunately not surprised, at this week's revelations. "The library community welcomes a renewed public debate on how to balance the need to fight terrorism and the need to protect personal privacy and civil liberties," said ALA President Maureen Sullivan. "Millions of innocent customers, at least Verizon's, have had their personal phone records released to the government without their knowledge and without allegations of specific facts supporting the relevance of their records to a federal terrorism investigation. "We must demand more accountability and transparency in all of these surveillance issues," she added. "Our nation's libraries are a tremendous information resource for those who want to better understand the issues and a place to begin debates about these issues" Barbara Jones, Director of ALA's Office for Intellectual Freedom, said, "The lack of transparency is symptomatic of the growing trend in our secret laws and we must correct the flaws. Are these new revelations just the tip of the iceberg? Did other companies received such subpoenas and what other records has the government been obtaining on such a broad scale? What about library records and those of our users? The public needs to know." "Our community calls for public dialogue about how to open up FISA and other surveillance laws so that there can be true accountability and an improved balance between individual privacy and the need of government to investigate terrorism and other crimes, said Lynne Bradley, Director of ALA's Office of Government Relations. "We need to make changes to our surveillance laws." http://www.districtdispatch.org/2013/06/only-we-can-demand-more-accountability/ ----------------------------------- http://www.districtdispatch.org/2013/06/reforming-national-surveillance-laws/ Reforming National Surveillance Laws Posted on June 10, 2013 by Lynne Bradley | Leave a comment Last week, reports appeared regarding the U.S. government's program PRISMthat obtains the internet records from nine U.S. companies: Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook, PalTalk, AOL, Skype, YouTube, and Apple. This followed the earlier disturbing revelation on June 5th that the FISA Court had ordered Verizon to turn over the phone records of all customers over the last seven years. It appears that emails, photos, online and social networking activities as well as the phone records have been obtained by the FBI and NSA. These two revelations about the amount of personal information received by the government, if true as reported, is very troubling. We are, frankly, saddened that two major revelations about our country's surveillance practices confirm our gravest worries: the government has obtained vast amounts of personal information about the activities, especially electronic communications of all kinds, of essentially everyone in the United States, including millions of innocent people. We repeat the call for a true public dialogue on our nation's surveillance laws and procedures and how to fix the flaws in laws such as FISA (the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) and the USA PATRIOT Act. The public needs a way to become engaged to determine what degree of public accountability is needed and how to improve the balance between individual rights and the need of government to investigate terrorism and other harmful acts. There needs to be effective legal review, judicial oversight permitting transparency and public accountability - not wholesale fishing expeditions - to get personal information on millions of innocent people! Our country needs to find the right balance. http://www.districtdispatch.org/2013/06/reforming-national-surveillance-laws/ -- *Diedre Conkling** Lincoln County Library District P.O.

I?ve put together a compilation of the responses (see below) Thanks, this was most helpful! Esther Moberg Director, Seaside Public Library Seaside, Oregon emoberg at cityofseaside.us 503-738-6742 www.seasidelibrary.org www.facebook.com/seasidepubliclibrary My original request: Hello Library land folks, I am researching what other libraries out there typically do for recognizing large donations to the library. This is not for capital campaign funds but just general gifts to the library, especially monetary gifts over $1,000. Do you have a plaque you add names to or do you just send a thank you note and that is it? We have shelving and furniture in the library that we can put small plaques on with people?s names but we will be receiving a larger donation and wanted to research what is popular in other libraries for commemorating this type of donation. One suggestion was made of a wall plaque similar to what hospitals have with donors names added over time. Thank you, Esther Moberg Responses: We have wrestled with this problem over the years. We had a large walnut plaque for ?Life Members?-those whose cumulative donations exceeded $1,000. As donors hit that threshold, we engraved their name on a brass plate and added it to the plaque. When that plaque filled up we begin a new plaque that listed large donations by category each year. Getting plaques engraved and changed each year turned into a hassle and we now use a framed poster with top donor names by category. Our categories are $1000, $500, $250 and then new life members. This isn?t really working too well since we don?t have a good cumulative public list of Life Members, so we think we may get a book that we can add pages as our life members increase. Having a lot of donors is a good problem to have. Most aren?t too concerned about this public recognition, but some request anonymity. Having donor names in a visible spot is good marketing for other potential donors. My recommendation is that you have a sufficiently high level before you recognize a donor in this way. Years ago, the $1,000 Life member category sounded like a lot of money, but with inflation, it is an easier target for many donors to hit. I?ve seen these donor walls in hospitals go on and on down the hall. Hi Esther, We have name plates on anything from tables to CD racks to rooms - we've even named an entire building after someone. In the past, we have also done a large size picture frame with "Jefferson County Library Donors 2010" and just listed everyone from the $5 donor to the $500 donor in alphabetical order. Hope this helps, DeRese Hi Esther, Congrats on your anticipated gift! Tualatin has a donor board that we installed in 2009. It?s a very basic wood plaque, built by a local woodworker. It has wood slats that I send to the woodworker for engraving. Personally, I wish we had pursued something more artistic but it?s fine for what it is. The one good thing that we did is to make the board for ANY donation to the library over $1000, including friends or foundation. So it?s an all-purpose board. Let me know if you want to see photos or other details! -abigail When we built our new library building we used ?Naming Rights? instead of ?Buy a Brick?. Lots of people got name plates on single shelves for $100; one guy got to name the mezzanine for $100K. We still have a few ?nameless? spaces available to recognize future big donors. If you have an office or study room which has no name, you could place a plaque on it for a large donor. You might establish ?giving levels? and have a large plaque with several levels indicated and individual name plates for donors in that category, e.g., $1,000 - $4,999, $5,000 - $9,999, $10,000 - $24,999, etc. There could be a level named for your first library director, one named for Andrew Carnegie, one for the founder of your city, etc. The Stayton Public Library Foundation has several recognition pieces. There are donor walls with wood name panels, divided by level of donation into categories of "Author societies" such as william shakespeare, etc. They also have wooden "book spines" that are in wood shelves on the ends of stacks with the donors name. These are made by a local woodworker, and the names are brass. They also recognize donors on the bi-annual newsletter, and on a scrolling display screen posted in the library They also have framed photos of 2 major donors with a commemorative plaque beneath. These are in rooms named for them. Hi Esther, I am not the Community Relations person (that is why I am writing off list) , but here are a few notes on the subject. I know we always do a press release and try to get it on the evening news on as many stations as possible and in all of the newspapers. Here is a formal list on the Foundation website. http://eplfoundation.org/get-involved/naming/ http://eplfoundation.org/get-involved/name-a-shelf/ We have nice wooden donor boards that you can put paper in. We annually update our donor list and print it out on parchment-type paper. It looks really nice and is super easy to keep up to date. No worries about engraving someone?s name wrong, leaving someone off, etc etc We have a few large pieces of equipment, art, etc that have plaques from the Foundation on them. Not so much on individual pieces of furniture. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We also wanted to open up the program to those who do not have an MLS, but are working in professional positions in libraries or other information organizations. We recognize that especially in rural areas, some people who are working in professional positions may not have the credentials, but likely still have the professional development needs. We want to support you. Our new mentee requirements are below. If you meet them and have professional development goals you?re trying to meet, we encourage you to apply to to be paired up with a mentor. To become a mentee, you must meet *ALL* of the following requirements: 1. Be an OLA Member. 2. Hold an MLIS or equivalent (MSIS, MLS, etc.) AND/OR have been in a professional library position(s) for fewer than five years 3. Currently be working in a library in some capacity (volunteer, paraprofessional, professional). 4. Commit to at least one year (or nine months for librarians on nine-month contracts) with the program. Mentors and mentees can continue their relationship beyond the required time period if they choose. 5. Have a strong interest in professional development. 6. Be willing to share goals and challenges. 7. Be open to feedback and advice. Additional links: ? Mentee application ? Information about the mentoring program and its requirements ?

Sue's transcript is online at www.answerland.org/awards In this transcript Sue answers an email question from a student who is researching a wrongful death suit for a term paper assignment. Sue provides information from PACER (www.pacer.gov), the federal government's public access service to court documents. She found the case number, date, and the outcome (the case was ultimately dismissed) and sent the full judgment to the student. The student sent a reply asking if there was a way to access all the court documents of the case. The student also asked if there were any subsequent lawsuits. Sue replied with information on how to access the documents for free and an explanation of how to download documents. She also gave an explanation of how to search PACER for any lawsuits that might still be pending. In addition, OJIN (Oregon Judicial Information Network) might have additional information and Sue provided information on how to search that resource. Sue encouraged the student to reply if additional help was needed and even gave her phone number in case the student wanted to speak with her. The student did reply with one last email saying: "You have been a huge help. Thank God for people like you willing to go that extra mile for students like me! Thanks so much once again. I really appreciate you." The Quality Team appreciates Sue too! We're impressed with Sue's friendly tone, her knowledge of legal resources and her teaching skills. We're grateful to all the law librarians who answer questions for Answerland, providing information that most Oregon libraries cannot easily access. As an expression of our appreciation, Sue was presented with flowers and a certificate. Please join us in congratulating her! ~The L-net Quality Team Stephanie Debner, Mt.

Now is the time for us to build the public will for libraries of all types. **** ** ** As part of this effort, we have planned a campaign called *America's Right to Libraries* and developed a *Declaration for the Right to Libraries*(attached) to serve as a strong public statement of the value of libraries for individuals, communities, and our nation. Through this initiative, libraries of all types will have the opportunity in the next year to hold signing ceremonies where community members, organizations, and officials can visibly sign and stand up for their right to have vibrant school, public, academic, and special libraries in their community. **** ** ** Beginning with our Annual Conference in Chicago, we will be inviting ALA members, ALA member groups, Chapter leaders and our affiliates to join us in the effort to secure hundreds of thousands of signatures from community members across the country. Our plan right now is for the signed scrolls to be presented at a national summit and ceremony to be held in the spring of 2014. **** ** ** We hope that you will consider inviting people in your local community and in your state to join us in proclaiming the value of libraries. For those interested in holding local signing ceremonies, we will be providing a "toolkit" to help you plan your signing ceremony, garner public support and attract media attention.**** ** ** I will be talking more about the campaign when we get together in Chicago in three weeks, but wanted to provide you with some advance information prior to our upcoming Annual Conference. In the meantime, please share this message and the Declaration with colleagues and friends, and please feel free to contact me with any ideas you may have about how we can use the Declaration to increase public awareness of the incredible value that libraries represent.**** ** ** Sincerely,**** ** ** Barbara Stripling**** ALA President Elect **** ** ** 315 443-1069**** bstripli at syr.edu**** @barbstripling**** ** ** -- *Diedre Conkling** Lincoln County Library District P.O.

The advent of self-publishing platforms presents libraries with a new resource to enhance that connection and reinforce their place at the center of community cultural life. Last year Los Gatos (Calif.) Library began a partnership with e-book self-publishing company Smashwords to offer a three-part series of e-book self-publishing seminars. This partnership has grown to include a co-branded publishing portal managed by Smashwords. Linked from the library website, the portal enables local authors to publish and distribute e-books at no cost and allows them to "Publish to the Library" if the library chooses to purchase their work. Find out how Los Gatos Library developed this partnership and how your library can easily do the same.

Sure, you may know how to facilitate group meetings, but how are your virtual facilitation skills? Do you know how to use technology effectively to achieve maximum group results even when you're not in the same room? How do you minimize the common challenges? In this webinar, learn how to adapt facilitation skills to the virtual environment. Discover critical components of virtual facilitation, how to overcome common dysfunctions in virtual meetings, and ways to accomplish full group participation - as if you're in the same room.

When team members don't meet with each other face-to-face, it can be harder to build rapport, develop trust, and establish meaningful collegiality. Team members multi-task, leaders fall back to presenting endlessly, and the work goes sideways. Join us as the speakers help you tackle the common challenges that go along with leading virtual teams. Our speakers will describe and demonstrate several practical skills and methods you can use right away to help team members and leaders improve the way they collaborate and perform.

Although the analysis of this data is often left to third-parties, some libraries are taking the step of hiring their own data analysts to help administrators decide what the data means, why it matters, and how best to present it to other stakeholders.

LinkedIn Helps You Make Connections (NonProfit Webinars) With nearly two million nonprofit board seats open, good board members are hard to find. Yet, according to Taproot Foundation, most professionals want to be on boards. How do nonprofits attract the right professionals to their boards, the ones who want to do the job and who have the particular skills needed by the organization? Well, the simple answer is - just ask. The longer answer is you need a conduit to professionals who care. LinkedIn Board Connect now provides that conduit for nonprofits, at no cost.

New York: Neal-Schuman, 2011. 025.3 Mille ISBN 978-1555707460 More and more libraries, archives, and museums are creating online collections of digitized resources. Where can those charged with organizing these new collections turn for guidance on the actual practice of metadata design and creation? To Metadata for Digital Collections: A How-To-Do-It Manual for Libraries, Archives, and Museums. This practical, hands-on volume will make it easy for readers to acquire the knowledge and skills they need, whether they use the book on the job or in a classroom.. Author Steven Miller introduces readers to fundamental concepts and practices in a style accessible to beginners and LIS students, as well as experienced practitioners with little metadata training. He also takes account of the widespread use of digital collection management systems such as CONTENTdm. Rather than surveying a large number of metadata schemes, Miller covers only three of the schemes most commonly used in general digital resource description, namely, Dublin Core, MODS, and VRA. By limiting himself, Miller is able to address the chosen schemes in greater depth. He is also able to include numerous practical examples that clarify common application issues and challenges. He provides practical guidance on applying each of the Dublin Core elements, taking special care to clarify those most commonly misunderstood. The book includes a step-by-step guide on how to design and document a metadata scheme for local institutional needs and for specific digital collection projects. The text also serves well as an introduction to broader metadata topics, including XML encoding, mapping between different schemes, metadata interoperability and record sharing, OAI harvesting, and the emerging environment of Linked Data and the Semantic Web, explaining their relevance to current practitioners and students. A companion Web site includes exercises for each chapter, with suggestions for instructors, along with additional practical and reference resources.

I can see the argument for it, since it would allow us to prove that the person did indeed sign up for the card themselves, was made aware of the policies, etc., but at the same time, I am not entirely convinced that this insurance is worth the time and storage space.

(Note we have changed this to a discussion group from a program for easier scheduling.) Below are the plans for this year. The FTF is responsible for the discussion this year. This discussion will probably lead into the FTF program for ALA 2014 Annual. I hope some of you have some good things that you can bring to the discussion. We will have a few minutes for some information about FTF, WGSS, COSWL, and maybe GLBTRT and LLAMA Women Administrators Discussion Group. We welcome having one person from any of these groups tell us a bit about the group and about joining the group. *Introduction to Women's Issues in ALA (SRRT-FTF)* *1:00pm - 02:30pm* *McCormick Place Convention Center - N139* A long-standing program at Annual Conference, SRRT Feminist Task Force, ACRL/WGSS and COSWL will discuss women's issues in ALA. The topic for this year's discussion is the portrayal of women in games/gaming. Some parts of this topic are 1. Who are the gamers - studies showing more women gamers, 2. Inclusion, and 3. Collection development. Please bring any information you may have on this topic to the discussion. Individuals may have 3 - 5 minutes to share information they have. (This is on a volunteer basis) Discussion will follow. This discussion is leading up to a program to be held at the ALA 2014 Conference. -- *Diedre Conkling** Lincoln County Library District P.O.

The 2012 survey collected data about Internet policies, filtering practices, and patron access to social media and other types of sites. Similar surveys have been conducted in 1998, 2000, 2004 and 2008. These surveys have collected data across time about the responses of Oregon libraries to new Internet developments, such as the passage of CIPA and the growth of social media. The report from the 2012 survey of Oregon public library directors is now posted on Northwest Central and on the Intellectual Freedom Committee resource pageof the OLA web site. Here is the summary: Results of the 2012 survey show that practices across Oregon libraries vary significantly about whether and how libraries filter the Internet, and at what age patrons can use the Internet without restriction. Trends towards less use of filtering and less monitoring of Internet use can be detected in a number of areas. Overall, survey results show that Oregon public libraries have stable, effective policies for regulating Internet use that are First Amendment-friendly, reflective of community values, and are generating little controversy. Many thanks to the 118 library directors who completed this survey. Feel free to contact me or any member of the Intellectual Freedom Committeefor more information. -- Roberta Richards Faculty Reference Librarian Sylvania Library: 971-722-4962 rrichard at pcc.edu -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Whitman college student Erik Anderson is our summer intern?and he is flying! We are concentrating on cataloging books from the Josephys, but sneaking in books from other sources that are important to Indian and Pacific Northwest history. There are hundreds of books still in boxes, but Erik is moving fast. And we are part of the SAGE network of libraries in Eastern Oregon, administered out of Eastern Oregon University, so you can go to http://catalog.sage.eou.edu/eg/opac/home?locg=1 to mark his progress and check our holdings. Alvin Josephy subscribed to and collected many journals having to do with Western and Indian history and affairs. We are?slowly?processing them, putting each journal and our holdings on its own Excel spread sheet. But I thought people might like to have a general idea of what we are putting on the shelves. You might also have recommendations as to which journals it will be important to ?fill in? missing volumes, and which ones we should be subscribing to (knowing that we have a tight budget). One other note: it is sometimes obvious that Alvin collected a particular journal?e.g., The Colorado Magazine?as he worked on a particular book?in this case the *Civil War in the West*. Go to http://josephylibrary.blogspot.com/ for more info on periodicals and the current rough list of holdings. best, rich -- rich.wandschneider at gmail.com josephylibrary.blogspot.com/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: I was contacted by the author of Fishing in Oregon and asked if I was still in the review business. For her, and since this is a new edition of a standard, I made an exception. I bought a competing guide last year because it had been 6 years since the last edition of Fishing in Oregon, and boy could I tell the difference. But my wait is over, as the new edition came off the presses at the start of June. Fishing in Oregon continues to be a ?must have? for almost all Oregon libraries. It is organized by region and then body of water, with good clear maps showing boat launches There is information on the type of fish, when and if they are stocked, and notes about good bank fishing, and where to ask permission to fish. Best of all, the new edition takes into account some of the changes in the state?s geography. For example, over 200,000 kokanee left Lake Billy Chinook in 2010 when a fish passage was connected to the Deshutes, and it has become more of a trout lake then a kokanee harbor. Likewise, the removal of dams on the Rogue, Hood and Sandy Rivers have changed those streams and the fish in them. In other words, even if you have an old edition, you want the new one. Extra attractions are a list of good spots for fishing with kids (and a different list for the disabled), telephone contacts, and record catches. Fishing in Oregon. 11th Edition. (June 2013.) Madelynne Sheehan. Flying Pencil Publications, 33126 SW Callahan Rd, Scappoose, OR 97-56. www.fishinginoregon.net $29.95. Indexed. Paperback, 400 pages, with many maps and photos. You can order from Flying Pencil, or from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or I suspect the major library vendors. **tony_greiner at hotmail.com** -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The State Library is helping to promote a last-minute opportunity that ODE had to partner with myON (www.myon.com), a digital book platform vendor. Together they are offering all Oregonians free access to myON books through September 15th with the goal of encouraging reading in the summer. Content includes nearly 4,000 books, materials are for PK-12th grade, 70% are nonfiction, some are in Spanish, all can be read independently or listened to, and users can access them from the website or download a free Apple or Android app. There is one universal login that anyone in Oregon can use. For details, see the announcement below and the attachment. Please help spread the word. Permission has been granted to share the login widely within Oregon, and that includes posting the attached information sheet online. If you want two versions of the myON logo to post an access point on library websites, let me know. (The email size gets too big if I include them.) If you advertise library activities via social media, please consider promoting this opportunity there, too. What a great resource for summer reading programs! Questions? Please ask.

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

Please share this resource and opportunity with your communities and help build a strong reading culture in Oregon this summer! For even more reading opportunities, take advantage of the magazine, newspaper, and reference book content in the Gale databases available on OSLIS (www.oslis.org). For example, students can read articles from Cobblestone, Faces, and The New York Times or learn about their favorite creatures in Grzimek's Animal Life Encyclopedia. OSLIS is an information literacy website from the Oregon Association of School Libraries in partnership with the Oregon State Library and is supported with an IMLS grant.

This site is launching in June 2013 and is intended to build upon and foster the work of libraries and community organizations as they work to increase digital literacy across the nation." There's also http://www.digitalliteracy.gov/, which is described as "the destination for digital literacy resources and collaboration. Use it to share and enhance the tools necessary to learn computer and Internet skills needed in today's global work environment." The site recognizes the role that libraries play in teaching digital literacy: http://www.digitalliteracy.gov/content/april-school-library-month.

The Coos Bay Public Library owes its founding to tenacious community activist Agnes Sengstacken. In 1906, she began efforts to form a public library for what was then the town of Marshfield, backed by members of the Progress Club. Agnes had helped to found the Club, a literary society and civic betterment organization, in 1904. It is among the longest continuously operating community groups on Oregon's south coast. http://womenoflibraryhistory.tumblr.com/post/53924079197/agnes-sengstacken.

WIPO passes the treaty for the blind! Message-ID: http://www.districtdispatch.org/2013/06/wipo-passes-the-treaty-for-the-blind/ Miracles of miracles! WIPO passes the treaty for the blind! Posted on June 26, 2013 by Carrie Russell In an exciting turnaround, last night the World Intellectual Property Assembly (WIPO) made history by passing the "Treaty to Facilitate Access to Published Works by Visually Impaired and Persons with Print Disabilities (the "Treaty for the Blind"). Print disabled people and supporters of the treaty around the world are thrilled by the victory, including the American Library Association. After five years of advocacy and negotiations, WIPO achieved the unthinkable - they passed a treaty in support of the information rights of users! By passing what is an exception to copyright, WIPO demonstrated that there is international support for balance in copyright law. Immediately prior to the diplomatic conference in Marrakesh, many advocates thought they would lose the battle because of increased private industry interest in toppling the proposal. The industries' primary concern was ideological--WIPO exists only to maximize the exclusive rights of copyright holders. Passing an exception, even an exception that was necessary and with obvious human rights appeal, they believed was a step back for WIPO. In the last day of negotiations, WIPO delegations reached consensus on a number of issues including the three step test, the use of technological protection measures and fair use and fair dealing as stakeholders made numerous concessions. By all accounts, however, when the treaty goes into effect, nations with exceptions for the disabled will be able to share accessible content across borders. Libraries will be considered "authorized agencies" that can make accessible copies without the prior permission of the rights holder. In the next two days, the treaty will be translated and presented to the assembly after which WIPO member nations will provide comments. ALA - congratulate yourself! ALA has been a key player in this effort! And finally a happy post from me about this treaty! http://www.districtdispatch.org/2013/06/wipo-passes-the-treaty-for-the-blind/ -- *Diedre Conkling** Lincoln County Library District P.O.

The coalition letter submitted to Congress by the group asks that new cybersecurity information sharing legislation maintains the privacy protections from the Cybersecurity Act of 2012 (S.3414). "The newly disclosed NSA programs clearly illustrate that the government will interpret any surveillance laws aggressively, and that that any new legislation to permit government access to Americans' communications information must include robust and meaningful privacy safeguards to avoid intrusions into our civil liberties and constitutional rights," the letter states. The letter calls on the Senate to maintain the following privacy provisions: - A requirement that information shared with the government as part of a cybersecurity information sharing program be directed only to civilian agencies - recent disclosures about the NSA's misuse of the Patriot Act and the FISA Amendments Act to justify broad and intrusive surveillance programs make it clear that the NSA should not be the direct recipient of private sector cybersecurity information and that strong protections must be built into the law; - Strict limits to prevent information collected under cybersecurity programs to be used for general criminal prosecutions or national security purposes unrelated to cybersecurity; - A requirement that companies make reasonable efforts to remove personally identifiable information that is irrelevant to cyber threats before they share threat information; - Robust oversight and accountability provisions such as independent audits and reports http://www.districtdispatch.org/2013/06/ala-to-senate-protect-privacy-and-civil-liberties/ -- *Diedre Conkling** Lincoln County Library District P.O.

[2013456]The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) long-term trend assessments provide the most extended retrospective picture of student achievement in the United States. Results span four decades of student performance by 9-, 13-, and 17-year-olds in reading and mathematics. Both 9- and 13-year-olds scored higher in reading and mathematics in 2012 than students their age in the early 1970s. Since the last administration of the assessments in 2008, only 13-year-olds made gains and did so in both reading and mathematics. Scores for 17-year-olds overall were not different from scores for their peers in the earliest and most recent assessment years. However, scores for White, Black, and Hispanic 17-years-olds were higher in 2012 than in the first assessment year. View and download Trends in Academic Progress, or visit the NAEP Long-Term Trend Assessment page for additional resources and information on the report. NAEP is a product of the National Center for Education Statistics at the Institute of Education Sciences, part of the U.S. Department of Education.

The West Linn Library will be celebrating our 75th birthday in 2014. We want to use this opportunity to get our name out in the community and have a fun birthday bash. I have several ideas for the event (cake, live band, a giant birthday card for the kids to sign). One thing that works against us is that our actual birthday falls on March 1st which means we can't do anything outside. I'd also like to do some more long-term things such as a photo exhibit of what life was like in 1939 when the library was founded. I'm curious what other libraries have done for big milestone celebrations. What worked and what didn't? What would you do differently if you had to do it over? Thanks!
