You may also view online if you prefer by clicking on the link above.] Government Shutdown Congress has not passed an appropriation for FY 2014 or a Continuing Resolution to allow Government agencies to continue normal operations. Therefore, like all Federal agencies, GPO is preparing for a Government shutdown beginning at midnight on Tuesday, October 1, 2013. During a furlough due to a Government shutdown, GPO employees can only work on activities directly related to the legislative process, and on activities for an orderly shutdown and to protect property and assets. Effective October 1, 2013, all staff of Library Services and Content Management (LSCM) will be furloughed due to the funding lapse. GPO will not be updating gpo.gov, FDLP.gov, the Catalog of Government Publications, Ben?s Guide, or be responding to askGPO questions until funding is restored. The Laurel warehouse will be closed so there will be no shipments to depository libraries. Congressional materials will continue to be processed and posted to FDsys. Federal Register services on FDsys will be limited to documents that protect life and property. The remaining collections on FDsys will not be updated and will resume after funding is restored. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause our Federal Depository Library partners and the patrons you serve. FDLP News & Events is a service of the Federal Depository Library Program.

The Board will hear recommendations from the LSTA Advisory Council on the use of LSTA funds for the 2014 fiscal year.

Return to top of page State Library News Legislature to Give Direction on State Library Transformation [OSL Logo]As many of you know, the State Library was tasked by Governor Kitzhaber with reorganizing, or as it has become known locally, transforming. Receipt of our second year of biennial funding is contingent upon the acceptance of a reorganization plan by the legislature. Over the past several months, State Library staff and stakeholders met to consider ideas and draft an initial plan. That plan was submitted to the General Government Subcommittee of the Interim Ways & Means Committee on September 17th. Because many of the proposed changes require coordination across multiple state agencies and branches of government, Senator Steiner-Hayward, who is the chair of the subcommittee, and Representative Nathanson agreed to draft a letter that will provide some legislative direction. That letter is expected to be delivered October 15th or 16th. Until then, any planning around the transformation effort is on hold. Questions? Please contact MaryKay Dahlgreen, State Librarian. Second Lecture of the Oregon State Library 2013 Fall Lecture Series [Tom Fuller]The Oregon State Library is pleased to announce the second lecture in our 2013 Fall Lecture Series. On Wednesday, October 2, in the Oregon State Capitol Building, Hearing Room C, from 12:00-1:00 p.m., Tom Fuller will present, "Images of America: Oregon's Capitol Building." In celebration of the 75th anniversary of the Oregon State Capitol building, Tom Fuller will give a presentation about the turbulent history of our previous capitol buildings. Most people are unaware that Oregon has had three different capitol buildings, two of which were destroyed by fire. Fuller will show many historic photos and images of all three public buildings and details the political contention regarding which city in Oregon would serve as the state's capitol. Some of these images have rarely, if ever, been seen in public. Tom Fuller is the author of several books, including "Images of America: Salem" and "Oregon at Work: 1859-2009". His latest book, "Images of America: Oregon's Capitol Buildings" (Arcadia Publishing), is a perfect addition to the celebration of this building's 75th birthday. Fuller is a former news reporter for KGW-TV and currently serves as the communications manager for the Oregon Employment Department. Please join us in October as our Fall Lecture Series and as the Capitol birthday celebration continues. Libraries and Cover Oregon: Consider Hosting an Open House in Your Community [Cover Oregon Logo]Everyone is navigating the new world of health insurance under the Affordable Care Act, and it can be confusing. Cover Oregon has built a robust network of certified community partners and agents across the state that are poised to assist people in accessing coverage through Cover Oregon at no cost. We expect that members of the public will come to the library to ask questions about how the program works and how they can enroll. To help members of your community connect with those partners and agents, libraries can host an open house. This is a great opportunity for a certified partner to provide details about how Oregonians can benefit from Cover Oregon and to schedule enrollment assistance appointments. Cover Oregon and State Library staff have prepared some tips for hosting an open house which include links to resources for identifying local certified community partners and agents in your area. For additional news and resources, check out the Libraries and Cover Oregon web site. Questions? Please contact Arlene Weible, Electronic Services Consultant. Reading for Healthy Families Phase Two Pilot Project Launched On September 20, 2013 Heather McNeil, Youth Services Manager at Deschutes Public Library and OLA's Children's Services Division in-coming Chair, conducted an Every Child Ready to Read Training of Trainers based on the success of and lessons learned from Reading for Healthy Families. Nineteen early childhood professionals from several different state agencies and organizations participated and are now Oregon Registry approved Every Child Ready to Read Standardized Trainers. These nineteen trainers will go back to their agencies to train their staff to use the Every Child Ready to Read curriculum to provide parent education sessions to their clients. This should ensure sustainability because agencies will have someone on staff to train new staff and coach existing staff in the curriculum. In addition, it will save agencies money because they will no longer have to contract with someone else to train their staff. This training was one of the State Library's activities to support Oregon's Race to the Top Early Learning Challenge Grant and was funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services through the Library Services and Technology Act, administered by the Oregon State Library. Letters About Literature Reading and Writing Contest Has Two Different Deadlines [LAL]Letters About Literature is a national reading and writing contest sponsored by the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress and by Oregon's equivalent at the State Library. Students write letters to an author explaining how that author's book changed their way of thinking about the world or themselves. There are three competition levels: Level I for 4th-6th graders, Level II for 7th-8th graders, and Level III for 9th-12th graders. Note that high school juniors and seniors may participate, which was not true last year. Oregon's three winners - one from each competition level - will go on to compete nationally. Entry forms and guidelines are available online. All Level III entries must be postmarked by December 10, 2013 and Level I and Level II entries by January 10, 2014. In 2013, about 810 students in Oregon entered the contest, and 1 in 7 received cash prizes or bookstore gift certificates. These prizes are made possible through support from the Oregon Reading Association and three divisions of the Oregon Library Association: Oregon Association of School Libraries, Children's Services Division, and Oregon Young Adult Network. For more information, please visit the website or contact Jennifer Maurer, coordinator of the Letters About Literature activities in Oregon. Thanks for passing along the information and encouraging participation, including for homeschooling families. 2013-2014 Ready to Read Grants Announced One hundred and thirty one public libraries were eligible to apply for the 2013-2014 Ready to Read Grant. Of those, 129 submitted applications by the August 31st deadline, met the grant criteria, and were approved. The grant award notification mailing was sent to all eligible libraries on September 30, 2013. The list of Ready to Read Grant awards for 2013-2014 reflects the $683,406 annual budget passed by the Oregon Legislative Assembly and signed by Governor Kitzhaber. Libraries have until October 15th to appeal the approval or denial of their grant application. The grant award libraries receive may change slightly based on the results of the appeals process. Contact Katie Anderson, 503-378-2528, if you need more information or have any questions. 2013 Annual Report of the Oregon Intellectual Freedom Clearinghouse Now Available [Book Logo]The 2013 Annual Report is now available on Oregon Intellectual Freedom Clearinghouse. The report is a compendium of eleven challenges to library material in four public libraries, one academic library, and one school library between July 1, 2012 and June 30, 2013. The Oregon Intellectual Freedom Clearinghouse (OIFC) collects reports about formal, written challenges to library material from all types of Oregon libraries. The information is reported to OIFC by Oregon libraries on a voluntarily basis. OIFC compiles the reports from libraries into an annual report each year; all previous reports are also available online at Oregon Intellectual Freedom Clearinghouse. Please visit the OIFC webpage to learn about how to prepare your library for potential challenges, how to talk with patrons who express concerns about material, what happens after a reconsideration report form is submitted, and how to deal with the media if a challenge goes public.

Unless you've been lucky enough to have been lounging away at a private beach without media access, you know that the U.S. government has shut down. The shutdown officially occurred at midnight as the House and Senate were unable to agree on a continuing resolution (C.R.) to fund the government. It remains unclear exactly how long the shutdown will last. While the ALA Washington Office remains up and running, the shutdown will have a noticeable impact on library services across the country. To name a few: - The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) is closed and will be unable to disperse grants and funds to libraries as part of the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA). - U.S. Census websites and collection surveys will be unavailable until the government is funded. - The Government Printing Office (GPO) is closed. Gpo.govwill not be updated during the shutdown. Federal Register services will continue in a limited capacity. - The Library of Congress will be closed to the public and researchers for the duration of the shutdown. It is worth noting to our animal loving readers that the National Zoo's"Panda Cam"has gone dark and will be off throughout the shutdown. But seriously, the longer this congressional inaction lasts, the more Americans there are that will feel the pain. People who rely on library services are no exception to this. If you have an example of how the shutdown is impacting you or your patrons, use the comment section below [actually do the on the District Dispatch page] or tweet us @ala_wo Be sure to check back on *District Dispatch *for updates on the shutdown. http://www.districtdispatch.org/2013/10/library-services-impacted-government-shutdown/ -- *Diedre Conkling** Lincoln County Library District P.O.

At this stage, citizens are able to browse for information on the Cover Oregon web site, but can register on the site only with the help of a certified agent or community partner. The ability to actually enroll in a health insurance plan will not be available until later in October. Here is the official statement from Cover Oregon. Today certified insurance agents and community partners are helping individuals and families set up accounts and enter information about themselves and their households. Later in October, Oregonians can determine their eligibility and enroll in the plan that's right for them-either with an agent or community partner or on their own. And no matter when they enroll between now and December 15th, coverage starts January 1, 2014. Small businesses will begin enrolling later in October as well. I will continue to post the latest news about Cover Oregon on the Libraries and Cover Oregon web site hosted at the State Library. If you are working with community partners or other local organization to plan library activities around Cover Oregon, please let me know. We want to continue to draw attention to the important role of libraries in rolling out this program. Please let me know if you have any questions!

The poet, William Stafford, served as poet laureate of Oregon for 14 years and published more than 60 collections of poetry and prose. ?Stafford?s poetry remains alive across the country today more than two decades after his death,? said commission coordinator Kyle Jansson. ?New books of his work are being published and numerous events will take place next year as the public absorbs the words and thoughts of one of the most prolific and admired American writers of the 20th century.? Stafford moved to Oregon from his native Kansas in 1948 and settled with his family in Lake Oswego. He taught for more than 30 years at Lewis and Clark College which now houses his archives. Stafford won many prestigious literary awards, including the National Book Award. He was Poetry Consultant to the Library of Congress (a post now called the US Poet Laureate) in 1970. ?Stafford?s plain-spoken poems ? quiet yet tough-minded ? gained a wide following, even among readers who did not think they liked poetry,? the commission?s declaration states. The Oregon Library Association has selected Stafford as its featured author for the Oregon Reads program in 2014. Nearly 100 libraries have already joined the effort. They will select one or more Stafford-related books, ask everyone in their community to read them and sponsor programs that celebrate them. The Oregon Reads website is http://oregonreads2014.com State law authorizes the Heritage Commission, whose members are appointed by the governor, to declare celebrations of statewide significance. Prior to the Stafford declaration, the most recent celebration was the 2012 centennial of woman?s suffrage in Oregon.

Chicago: ALA, 2014. 302.30285 Crawf ISBN 978-0838911679 Most commentaries to date on library use of social networks such as Facebook and Twitter have focused on a handful of well-funded public libraries with high-profile employees. Now Crawford's book fills in the rest of the picture, offering for the first time an in-depth look at how a large variety of public libraries are using social networks. Examining nearly 6,000 libraries across the US, Crawford * Analyzes social network usage by libraries of many different sizes and funding levels, showing how many of them are active and effective in quite different ways * Offers many examples that will help other libraries establish or refine their own social networking activities * Presents several key questions that libraries should ask themselves, such as "Who do we want to reach?" and "What's the best way to interact with communities?" * Gives libraries guidelines to set social networking goals and conduct ongoing evaluation * Includes illuminating comments from numerous librarians on the front lines of communication Based on broad research, Crawford draws a vivid portrait that shows how a wide range of public libraries is conducting digital outreach and marketing through social networking.

They were charged with answering these questions: What are the needs of Oregonians in regards to reference and information services? Which needs are most important to be addressed on a statewide level? How can Oregon libraries, working together, best meet the most important needs, using available resources? A full report of the Task Force's recommendations is online at http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/projects/taskforce-collabrefservice.aspx#Meetings_and_Documents . In summary, the recommendations are: ? Continue to operate Answerland, Oregon?s existing statewide collaborative reference service. ? Incorporate the creation of self-service tools for libraries and patrons with Answerland?s existing activities. ? Reduce Answerland?s dependence on LSTA funding over 5 years. ? Increase funding from Oregon libraries for Answerland over 5 years. ? Identify a new fiscal agent for Answerland. ? Create a transition team to communicate the changes to Oregon libraries, clarify a funding model, and identify a new fiscal agent and host. ? Use LSTA funds to raise awareness of LSTA-funded programs. The recommendations will be considered by the Oregon State Library Board of Trustees at their meeting October 25th 2013 at the State Library in Salem. Previously, the report was accepted by the Oregon State Library's Library Services and Technology Act Advisory Council at their meeting 9/19/2013.

This year?s Reading is an Investment (RII) program launched in late September. Sponsored by the Oregon College Savings Plan, it aims to promote literacy and financial education among K-5 elementary students in Oregon. Homeschoolers in that grade range are encouraged to participate, too. Annually, two books are highlighted in RII. This year, those are Earning Excitement by Paul Nourigat and Isabel?s Car Wash by Sheila Bair. [cid:image001.jpg at 01CEB902.D7F93630] [cid:image002.png at 01CEB902.D7F93630] The books are tied to the applicable state standards, with class activities designed around these standards. Lesson plans are available for use in the classroom, and teachers and librarians can access them at www.ReadingIsAnInvestment.com. The biggest program component is encouraging kids to read or be read to, and the books should relate to money and finances. Children are encouraged to read at least 3 books from the recommended reading list, and they will track their time in increments of 20 (read-to-me kids) or 40 (independent readers) minutes. Participants who submit an entry form/reading log on behalf of a child are automatically entered into a drawing to win one of 50 Oregon College Savings Plan accounts, worth $529 each. For entrants to be eligible for one of the $529 Oregon College Savings Plan accounts, their entries must be received by May 5, 2014. (Did you know that the winners? schools also receive $500?) For more information about the Reading is an Investment program, please visit www.ReadingIsAnInvestment.com. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Stephanie Swetland at 503.373.1903 or reading.investment at ost.state.or.us. Note that financial literacy is emphasized in the Oregon Social Sciences Standards which were adopted in 2011: http://www.ode.state.or.us/search/page/?id=1802. These are the three core financial literacy standards, which are then more specific by grade level: * Acquire the knowledge and economic reasoning skills to make sound personal financial decisions to meet long and short term goals. * Understand and apply key concepts of personal income potential, risk management, and investment. * Examine individual responsibility and the impact of decisions on personal, local, regional, national and global economies. Thanks for promoting the program through book displays, reading a book or two from the recommended reading list during storytime, announcing it on your website and via social media, including information in newsletters, and whatever creative way you come up with.

ISBN: 978-0-8389-1174-7 Description: Most academic libraries could not operate without a host of part-time student workers. But employing students is different from filling a professional position with an experienced worker; often their library employment will be their first job experience. Since many student positions make them the public face of the library, effective mentoring of such student employees is vital. In this book Reale explores the challenges and opportunities involved in recruitment. Her guide * Shows how a library job can be more than just employment, teaching students important responsibilities and life-skills * Covers the entire scope of a student's tenure at an academic library, from bringing new hires on board and training them to disciplining student employees and the unpleasant but sometimes necessary task of firing * Offers mentoring advice for helping students navigate the cultural contrasts, irregular hours, and other day-to-day issues faced by young people away from home for the first time If you would like to request this or other materials from the Oregon State Library please use your library's established interlibrary loan process or send your full name, the name of your library, complete title information, shipping address, and a phone number to the document delivery department at library.request at state.or.us or (fax) 503-588-7119.

Follow their adventures on their blog! Message-ID: As part of the Horner Exchange Project, three Oregon librarians are currently traveling to Fujian Province, China, for a three week visit to libraries and cultural centers. They will be learning about the state of librarianship in public and university libraries as well as giving presentations in their areas of expertise. If you would like to follow their adventures, Patricia French (Multnomah County Library), Angela Lee (Washington County Cooperative Library Services), and Lori Wamsley (Portland Community College, Cascade Campus) will be blogging about their experiences at http://2013horner.wordpress.com The Horner Library Staff Exchange Project is an exchange of library staff between Fujian Province, China, and Oregon, for the purpose of sharing professional knowledge about library and information science. It was established through a generous gift from the late Dr. Layton Horner to the Oregon State Library, and continues through a partnership between the Oregon State Library and OLA?s International Relations Round Table. Our international partners are the Fujian Provincial Library and the Fujian Library Association. Fujian is Oregon?s sister province in China and the Fujian Provincial Library maintains a sister library relationship with the Oregon State Library. -- Nancy Hoover , Coordinator 2013 Horner Library Staff Exchange Project University Librarian T 503.699.6261 ext. 3372 TF 800.634.9982 ext. 3372 F 503.636.1957 MARYLHURST UNIVERSITY SHOEN LIBRARY P.O.

Portland voters adopted the commission form of government in 1913. Since then, voters have reaffirmed their commitment to this governing style eight times. As the nation honors the rich historical resources found in archives across the country during October's National Archives Month celebrations, the City Archives division of the Auditor's Office and Commissioner Nick Fish are teaming up to commemorate 100 years of Portland's commission form of government. Auditor LaVonne Griffin-Valade and Commissioner Fish invite you join them in observing this special anniversary on Tuesday, October 22 from 5 - 7 p.m. at Portland City Hall. The event starts off in Council Chambers, with Commissioner Nick Fish emceeing the proceedings. Portland historian and scholar, Dr. Carl Abbott, will provide an overview of pre-1913 city government and the transition to the commission form of government. Current and former elected officials, along with other notable city officials, are invited to share stories and experiences working within our form of government. There will be exhibits and light refreshments on the first floor following the presentations. Love it or hate it, Portland's take on the commission form of government has been in place for 100 years. Join us at the Portland City Hall on October 22 to hear from insiders about the pros and cons of working within Portland's unique form of government. Please direct questions to Diana Banning, City Archivist, 503.865.4110 or parc at portlandoregon.gov. EVENT DETAILS: Centennial Commemoration of the Commission Form of Government In celebration of National Archives Month Tuesday, October 22, 2013 Portland City Hall, Council Chambers 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM This event is free and open to the public. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Since I last wrote, Committee Members conducted Round 2 evaluations which focused on vendor demos & hands-on review of the proposed products. This year the RFP included multiple categories, a strategy used by other State libraries, with the hopes of meeting as many Oregonians information needs as possible given budget constraints. The RFP called for the 4 categories listed below. At the end of Round 2, scores were tallied, points were assigned to vendors who proposed in multiple categories as were points for cost proposals. The following vendors received the top scores in each category: Category 1: General Periodicals Database Package: Ebsco, Gale, Proquest Category 2: Academic Journals Database Package: Ebsco, Gale, Proquest Categories 3 & 4: General Reference Database Package: reference works & current issues (Cat. 3 & 4: Ebsco, Gale, Proquest) After much discussion with State Library librarians and State Procurement officers, it was decided to conduct another round of evaluations. In this round the 3 vendors that proposed in all 4 categories have been invited to submit best and final offers on resources for all 4 categories by October 16. SDLAC anticipates making its recommendations to the LSTA Council by the end of October 2013 with a final decision on the next statewide contract made by State Library Board by the end of December 2013.

Actually, it's a bit frustrating sometimes because we occasionally get "spam" messages from people posing as patrons of our library requesting that we purchase somebody's self-published book. ******************************** We purchased a self-published through Amazon book that one of our students wrote/published, but we don?t go looking for them. We would only consider such self-published titles if the author has some connection with our school or there was a specific (and reasonable) request for a particular title. (And after having read the self-published book we did purchase it only confirms this course of action ;-) ). ******************************** We have seen a large increase in the number of requests to add self-published items. In general we do not add anything self-published and have come up with the following guidelines for those few things we do add: 1. The item must be donated to the library 2. The item must have unique local interest or meet local demand 3. The item must meet the guidelines of the overall Collection Development Policy. ********************************* When I am wearing my selector hat, I tend to be cautious of self-published books, but I do buy them on occasion. If I find the (rare) review of a self-published book, I will read it over, but I don't limit my purchases to items that have been reviewed. I will buy almost every non-fiction book or video related to our part of Oregon, and much of the state in general. The wonderful "FIshing in Oregon" series is an example. In my current job I don't buy fiction, so I have no thoughts there. ************************************* My two cents: For the most part, if they are requested by patrons, we order them. However, if they only have one or two reviews which look like they were done by friends or family members, we try to resist. We will accept the work of any author who is local and self-published as long as the book has an ISBN and as long as they understand that if it does not meet circulation standards, it, like any other book may be withdrawn in a couple years (and they very often are). I know that in a metro area with a lot more authors this would probably not be possible. I also like to ask people where they heard about the book. If it?s a radio or TV show, or a magazine, I figure it?s good enough to have gotten a little media attention and that makes me feel a little bit more comfortable about the purchase. One thing we?ve noticed about CreateSpace is that it does have pretty decent production values compared to some of the other vanity presses. All that said, if our book budget were to become really tight again, this would be one of the first things I would cut. It?s interesting that when I started collection development I was told to NOT buy any book that didn?t have at least two favorable reviews from the established review journals. There?s been such an explosion in publishing, that has now changed. In fact, if something on Amazon has over 50 reviews that are mostly favorable, I consider that as authoritative for my library patrons as an LJ review. I don?t know if you should repeat that last sentence but I suspect I am not alone. ********************************** We don?t have a policy regarding self-published items--being a small library helps. We usually acquire based on patron requests?unless there is a professional review that indicates a need to purchase. We also have some books that have been donated by local authors; not all of it is added but much of it is. I have noticed that as time passes some of the self-publishers are appearing to become better than others. This seems to be especially true of public domain items. ?sometimes we will check if the book in question has been put on OCLC. ________________________________ From: Libs-Or [libs-or-bounces at listsmart.osl.state.or.us] on behalf of Leah Griffith [leah.griffith at newbergoregon.gov] Sent: Saturday, October 12, 2013 11:53 AM To: libs-or at listsmart.osl.state.or.us Subject: [Libs-Or] Policy on self-published materials My library board is working on a policy that specifically addresses the increasing number of local authors who are bringing their self published materials to the library and wanting us to purchase them.

Contact: Nichole O'Connor Program Officer 312-280-4387 noconnor at ala.org YALSA opens proposals for 2014 symposium, Keeping it Real: Finding the True Teen Experience in YA Literature CHICAGO - The Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA), a division of the American Library Association (ALA),is seeking program proposals and paper presentations for its 2014 Young Adult Literature Symposium, Keeping it Real: Finding the True Teen Experience in YA Literature, to be held October 31 - November 2, 2014 in Austin, TX. YALSA's 2014 Young Adult Literature Symposium will gather together librarians, educators, researchers, authors and publishers to explore what's 'real' in the world of teen literature. In what ways is young adult literature reflecting the real and amazing diversity of today's 42 million teens and it what ways has it fallen short? Who are today's teens, really? What are the 'real' issues that they want and need to read about, and how do they want to read about them? Why are realistic teen experiences in books sometimes controversial when they accurately portray a young person's life? How are the evolving areas of identity and sex(uality) being explored in YA literature and nonfiction? Join YALSA as we explore what is 'real' in young adult literature. YALSA invites interested parties to propose 90-minute programs centering on the theme, as well as paper presentations offering new, unpublished research relating to the theme. Applications for all proposals can be found at http://ala.org/yalitsymposium (click "Propose a Paper/Program"). Proposals for programs and paper presentations must be completed online by Nov. 1, 2013. Applicants will be notified of their proposals' status the week of Jan. 12, 2014. Visitors to the symposium website can also join the online symposium community, sign up for the symposium mailing list and more. For more than 50 years, YALSA has worked to build the capacity of libraries and librarians to engage, serve and empower teens.

I know Eugene and Portland both have thriving makerspace communities (http://www.adxportland.com/; http://www.eugenemakerspace.com/) although they aren't set up in libraries.

Cardholders at any participating library can now apply for a Passport card at any one of our 19 locations. We look forward to seeing more patrons from across the state soon, and you'll be seeing ours as well. Multnomah County Library joins Oregon Library Passport Program Multnomah County residents now eligible for library cards at more than 100 libraries statewide PORTLAND, Ore. ? Oct. 15, 2013 ? Multnomah County Library has joined the Oregon Library Passport Program , giving all Multnomah County residents access to more than 100 libraries in Oregon. The Oregon Library Passport Program is a pilot exchange program that allows residents of participating library systems across the state to use their ?home? library card to apply for a library card at other participating libraries in Oregon. Terms of use for this program are established by each participating library, and materials must be checked out and returned at that library (or library system). Under the new program, Multnomah County residents can apply for a library card at participating libraries located in popular vacation areas, like the Columbia River Gorge, Mt. Hood, the Oregon Coast and the eastern part of the state. Academic libraries at the University of Oregon, Oregon Health Sciences University and other institutions are also participants in the program. Participation in the Oregon Library Passport Program will increase access to library services and materials for people who travel to or conduct business in the Portland metro area. Under the program, Oregon Library Passport Program cardholders from other areas may access up to 10 checkouts and 10 holds, plus internet access, but not remote electronic database access, interlibrary loan or some other services provided to Multnomah County residents. Residents of Clackamas County, Hood River County and Washington County in Oregon and residents of the Fort Vancouver Regional Library and Camas Public Library service areas in Washington are eligible to apply for a full-service Multnomah County Library card under the terms of the Metropolitan Interlibrary Exchange.

Nominate books you want to see on the OBOB 2015 book list in all 3 divisions: Grades 3-5, 6-8, 9-12 We are currently gathering Oregon Battle of the Book title nominations for the 2014-15 school year list. Nominations are due by November 15, but sooner is better as our committee reads the books before our title selection meetings in November, January and February. Keep in mind that we need the books to be in paperback in order to make it an affordable program. If it is a series book, the first in the series is the one we usually use. You may nominate up to three books in each division. I have attached the archive list for titles used since 2008. Titles in bold on that list can be re-nominated as we used them over four years ago. We try for a balance of genres. Each book needs to be detailed or long enough to support the writing of 80 quality questions and should have high appeal to kids all over Oregon. If you have a good non-fiction title for each division, feel free to add a 4th title to each division. We try to have non-fiction, but struggle with the right kind of books to support the competition. Students and other readers of children's and YA lit are welcome to nominate titles, in addition to teachers and librarians, so spread the word and invite your readers to participate in the process.

Macmillan first entered the library ebook market in January 2013 by offering a pilot of its mystery titles under the Minotaur imprint, then expanded the pilot to romance titles in June. With its third foray into the library ebook market this year, Macmillan is definitely on an "upward trajectory with librarians," said ALA President Barbara Stripling. "ALA is pleased to learn of this major expansion of the Macmillan pilot "President Stripling continued. "After a very difficult 2012, the library community has witnessed positive ebook movement from a number of the large publishers. I believe this reflects a growing appreciation among publishers of the value libraries bring by connecting authors and readers millions of times every day in this country." In addition to Macmillan, libraries have seen improved availability and terms from Penguin (now part of Penguin Random House) and Hachette Book Group, and Simon & Schuster launched a pilot of several libraries in New York City over the past year. "However, I do want to emphasize that while we've seen good progress this year, much more remains to be done," said Stripling. "Many issues remain on the table, such as multiple licensing options per publisher, full access to newly published titles, conversion of all remaining pilots to nationwide distribution, library pricing that is closer to consumer levels, preservation, privacy, and accommodations for people with disabilities." http://www.districtdispatch.org/2013/10/ala-welcomes-macmillan-expansion-library-ebook-lending/ -- *Diedre Conkling** Lincoln County Library District P.O.

This time around, we will be presenting a look at one of the newer ALA Youth Awards: The Theodor Seuss Geisel Award is a book award of the Association for Library Services to Children, a division of the American Library Association. It is given annually to the author(s) and illustrator(s) of the most distinguished American book for beginning readers published in English in the United States during the preceding year. Join your friends and colleagues from around Oregon for a day of fun and learning! The morning will include: 1) An overview of the experience of serving on the ALA Geisel Committee (provided by Janet Weber, 2014 Geisel Committee Member) 2) A look at how to judge beginning readers using the Geisel Award criteria (provided by Jackie Partch, 2012 Geisel Committee Member) 3) A special presentation on the question of "What Makes a Beginning Reader Excellent from a Reading Instruction Perspective" (provided by Reading Specialist Barbara Steinberg, M.Ed) The afternoon will be spent in lively discussion of a selection of beginning readers published in 2013, followed by a vote to crown the 2014 CSD Mock Geisel! The real 2014 Geisel Award will be announced during the ALA Midwinter Meeting on January 27, 2014. If you have ever wanted to take a little more time to explore beginning readers and how to turn new readers onto books, this is the workshop for you! Registration Deadline is Sunday, December 8th, 2013 Feel free to contact me with any questions you might have. Best wishes and I hope to see you on December 14th!!!

Message-ID: I am preparing a talk I am giving at the ACRL OR/WA meeting in Pack Forest on Thursday. The topic is on how we can reduce waste and save money by identifying books that are unlikely to be read before purchasing them. To get an idea what type of savings could be made, I need an idea of book budgets. For example, I found that U. Washington in 2009-2010 had a Book and Serial Budget of $13.2 Million. I don't know how much of that was devoted to books, although they purchased 40,700 titles that year. If you are willing to send me your institution's book budget- off list if you want, I sure would appreciate it. If you want me to keep your institution anonymous, just let me know. tony_greiner at hotmail.com Thanks, Tony **tony_greiner at hotmail.com** -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Too often it is merely posted on a wall in the conference room. Often, employees grow cynical and state that the organization?s mission statement is just that: an empty statement. However, other organizations follow a structured process that allows their managers to lead with integrity while using the core principles of mission-driven organizations. In this extremely practical presentation, that Dr. Eyal Ronen has never shared in the past, he will describe the practical steps to creating a clear mission, vision, and values for the organization.

The report is a call to fully use libraries and museums to close knowledge and opportunity gaps and give all children a strong start in learning. The more preschool children know about early literacy, math, science, and technology, and the more words they have to describe what they have seen and experienced, the better prepared they will be for reading and for educational success. Our nation is committed to early learning as a national priority essential to our economic and civic future. Libraries have a significant role in providing early learning experiences that build a child?s brain, fuel a love of learning, and contribute to success in school and life. Join Christine McNew, independent library consultant and children's services expert, for this engaging and essential Webinar series, which will cover early literacy program best practices, ideas for incorporating STEM learning into early literacy programs, and the basics of early literacy apps and iPads in the children's department.* * * * *FREE! **10/28/13 Win Friends and Influence People * Global organizations are constantly looking for new methods and technologies to engage employees and help managers motivate and influence people across hierarchies, cultures, and geographies.

Libraries probably vary in the way that they interpret the law in accordance with their HR policies. It's my understanding that the law is put in place to protect workers' rights. Wage and hour laws state that people must be paid for work that is in their regular scope of duties. So if someone performs a specific kind of work as part of their regular duties then that person can't also "work for free" doing the same thing. It's like working off the clock.

I came across this somewhat recent discussion from the UK, where they seem to be having a terrible time keeping libraries open and the staff are occasionally replaced with volunteers. We love our volunteers, but most of them are here for one, two or three hours a week, if that. They have specific tasks that they perform (shelving, jacketing books, shelf reading, Friends group, etc.) and the other tasks are for paid staff. There is no substitute for the experience of day-to-day managing and performance of library functions. As much as some folks like to volunteer, they are not obligated to volunteer 40 hours a week and most of them would not dream of doing so unless they did not have "a life" outside the library world. I agree that using a volunteer as a "fill-in" for a paid staff member is not good practice, as it is setting a precedent and probably against the law. http://www.publiclibrariesnews.com/campaigning/volunteer-run-libraries/cons Jackie On Mon, Oct 21, 2013 at 8:12 PM, Emily PAPAGNI wrote: > Hi, > > There is an Oregon labor law that says you can't do volunteer work > that is similar in nature to your paid work. > > Libraries probably vary in the way that they interpret the law in > accordance with their HR policies. > > It's my understanding that the law is put in place to protect workers' > rights.

Did you know that many of the DVD collections in your libraries probably have descriptive audio tracks available as well? To find out if a DVD has audio description: 1. Look at the back of your DVD, 2. Find the area for Languages or Audio 3. Look for the words English DVS or English 2.0 DVS 4.

The 2014 culminating event -- givers each distributing free books to 20 people in their communities -- will be April 23rd. Applications to be a host library or giver are due January 5, 2014. What is WBN? http://www.us.worldbooknight.org/about-us/what-we-do/how-it-works "Each year, 30- 35 books are chosen by an independent panel of librarians and booksellers. The authors of the books waive their royalties and the publishers agree to pay the costs of producing the specially-printed World Book Night U.S. editions. Bookstores and libraries sign up to be community host locations for the volunteer book givers. After the book titles are announced, members of the public apply to personally hand out 20 copies of a particular title in their community. World Book Night U.S. vets the applications, and the givers are chosen based on their ability to reach light and non-readers. The selected givers choose a local participating bookstore or library from which to pick up the 20 copies of their book, and World Book Night U.S. delivers the books to these host locations. Givers pick up their books in the week before World Book Night. On April 23rd, they give their books to those who don?t regularly read and/or people who don?t normally have access to printed books, for reasons of means or geography." Info about Being a Host Library http://www.us.worldbooknight.org/resources/resources-for/librarians or http://www.ala.org/conferencesevents/wbn "World Book Night U.S. library organizational participants make a commitment to (1) be a site for individual book giver volunteers to pick up their shipment of books and (2) be an active advocate in their community for World Book Night U.S. and spreading the love of reading, person to person." Click on both links above for specific details, a timeline, the application, and contacts to whom to direct questions. ALA is hosting the short, online application this year, and apps must be submitted by January 5, 2014. Info about Being a Giver http://www.us.worldbooknight.org/resources/resources-for/givers and http://www.us.worldbooknight.org/how-do-i-get-involved/be-book-giver-us/application-guidelines "Volunteer book givers are vital to World Book Night U.S. On April 23, 2013, U.S. book givers personally handed out half a million printed books in 6,200 towns and cities across the country. You can see some of their experiences here. Applications to become a WBN 2014 Book Giver will be [online soon]. Come back through Jan. 5, 2014 to read up on the guidelines and then apply. Also read up on the book picks beforehand." Basically, givers select a tile from the 2014 list of books, pick up their box of 20 books from the library or bookstore they choose from the list, and then on April 23, 2014, they distribute the books to 20 people in their community who likely are light or non-readers. Librarians may offer their library as a host site and be a giver, but those are separate applications and responsibilities.

At Coos Bay, our presenter, Isaac Bright from the Waterfall Community Health Center, gave a brief PowerPoint presentation before moving into a Q&A session where he illustrated different scenarios on the Cover Oregon website, using information provided by patrons to show the differences between plans from different providers and described the differences between credits, premiums, and actual amounts patients will have to pay monthly. This was the best part of the presentation as patrons were able to ask specific questions and receive answers with visual representations. I highly recommend this type of presentation, especially if you're like us and have a large population of lower income patrons with very few resources and avenues for help. After attending a couple webinars and a local community meeting, most delivered by Cover Oregon, this was the most useful and informative presentation I've attended as Isaac was extremely well-informed and has front line experience. He personally helps approximately 5 people sign up a day. As our patrons came armed with many questions and strong feelings, it helped that Isaac was extremely patient, knowledgeable, and understanding. I strongly recommend holding this type of event lead by a trained community partner who has experience working with your community. Our event was scheduled for two hours and went a little over so you should allow plenty of time for discussion. We had 36 people in attendance and most of these people had questions, many of which were very personal and had to be addressed one on one at the end. The event went so well that we are considering holding another presentation. Attendees were very appreciative and we've already received requests for another Cover Oregon event. Abbie Anderson, Assistant Director at North Bend Public Library, shared the following on their presentation; /Isaac Bright, from the Waterfall Clinic for low-income health care in the Coos Bay area, spoke to a small but feisty group of 10 adults at the North Bend Public Library on October 8 at 7:00 p.m. We took the opportunity to schedule Isaac at a time that worked for him, but which gave us very little time for publicity to get the word out for the event. This was also during the first week of Cover Oregon's existence, when most of what people were hearing about the program and the website was that it was still in the early stages and didn't completely work yet. That said, the group that came had excellent questions, and were receptive to Isaac's professionally delivered information and his engaging personality./// ///We are fortunate at our library that our half-time Reference Librarian, Dianne Zarder, has chosen to volunteer as a Cover Oregon assister. She said that her training had given her information that Isaac apparently didn't have at that early date. October 8 seems to long ago in the lifetime of Cover Oregon! Many questions have been answered since that date. /Just wanted to share. Hope it helps. These events gave our libraries the opportunity to strengthen our relationship with one of our community partners. Feel free to send me any specific questions or insight. I would like to hear what other Oregon libraries are doing to assist their patrons with Cover Oregon.

This bicameral piece of legislation would rewrite section 215 of the Patriot Act--also called the "library provision"--and impose new limits on section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). The bill would also require the government itself to make additional disclosures about the intelligence surveillance it conducts. The legislation would also establish a process for declassifying significant opinions issued by the FISA Court and create an Office of the Special Advocate charged with protecting privacy at the FISA Court. As of this writing, the legislation appears to have a high level of bipartisan support from both chambers--according to a statementfrom Sen. Leahy, the bill has more than 70 bipartisan cosponsors in the House and 16 cosponsors in the Senate. Many of the cosponsors, including legislators Reps. Darrell Issa (R-CA), Mike Quigley (D-IL) and Lee Terry, (R-NE), voted "no" on the defeated Amash amendment in July. *Help put a stop to warrantless surveillance.* Please ask both yourU.S. representative and senators to cosponsor this important legislation.

Since it's right next to our work area, I think most people are honest and the "sale" area is also near the circ desk. The honor box has a lock and chain so someone can't pick it up and run with it.

I am sure we loose a few books, but the tradeoff is well worth it. The money is remove weekly. Thanks, Harold A.

Those of you that have transitioned to an honor system with self pay box, how has that worked? Do you feel you get as much money as before? Any problems? I'd like to have some experiences to relate to my Friends group next week. Thanks for any experience with this you can share. Leah ****************************** Leah M.
