The mini-grants program is intended to support projects that foster creative expression, collaboration, and interaction with a diverse community. The funding program provides an opportunity for educators, whose efforts are often inadequately funded or recognized, to create special activities outside the standard curriculum and make time to encourage their students. Projects funded in the past include murals, pen pal groups, quilts, theater productions, newspapers and other publications, intergenerational activities, and programs that bring disparate communities together. Public schools and public libraries are eligible to apply. Preschool head start programs also are eligible. Only public organizations are eligible; private and parochial schools should not apply. Charter schools also are ineligible. Applicants must be located in the U.S. or its commonwealths or territories, including Puerto Rico and Guam. Only one application from each library or school will be considered. Complete program guidelines, a video tutorial for applicants, and the application form are available at the Ezra Jack Keats Foundation Web site.

The Early Childhood Program Participation Survey collected data on children's participation in relative care, nonrelative care, and center-based care arrangements. It also collected information from parents about the main reason for choosing care, what factors were important to parents when choosing a care arrangement, and parents' participation in various learning activities with their children. Findings include: * Approximately 60 percent of children age five and younger not enrolled in kindergarten were in at least one weekly nonparental care arrangement, as reported by their parents. * Among children in a weekly nonparental care arrangement, 56 percent were attending a day care center, preschool, or prekindergarten (center-based care); 42 percent were cared for by a relative (relative care); and 24 percent were cared for in a private home by someone not related to them (nonrelative care). * Among children with relative care, the primary caregiver for 78 percent of children was grandparents in the primary relative care arrangement, compared to 11 percent who were cared for by aunts and uncles and 10 percent whose care was provided by other relatives. * The most common location for children's primary center-based care arrangement, as reported in the survey, was a building of its own (46 percent). Other reported locations were a church, synagogue, or other place of worship (20 percent); a public school (20 percent); and various other types of locations (14 percent).

The survey collected information about various aspects of parent involvement in education, such as help with homework, family activities, and parent involvement at school. For homeschooled students, the survey asks questions related to the student's homeschooling experiences, the sources of the curriculum, and the reasons for homeschooling. Findings include: * Eighty-seven percent of students in kindergarten through grade 12 had parents who reported receiving newsletters, memos, e-mail, or notices addressed to all parents from their child's school; 57 percent of students had parents who reported receiving notes or e-mail from the school specifically about their child; and 41 percent of students had parents who reported that the school had contacted them by telephone. * The most common school-related activity that parents reported participating in during the 2011-12 school year was attending a general school or a parent-teacher organization or association (PTO/PTA) meeting (87 percent). * Approximately 3 percent of the school-age population was homeschooled in the 2011-12 school year. * Among children who were homeschooled, a higher percentage were White (68 percent) than Black (8 percent), Hispanic (15 percent), or Asian or Pacific Islander (4 percent).

The Board approved the changes to the Government Research Services Advisory Council bylaws. For their October meeting, the Board will be providing written feedback for the State Librarian's evaluation. The Board also heard an update on the State Library's transformation project from Sarah Miller, Deputy Chief Operating Officer and Project Sponsor. There will be a telephone meeting on September 6th from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. for the Board to discuss the alternatives presented in the draft Transformation Project Plan. Access for the public will be in room 202 at the State Library. Return to top of page State Library News OSL Celebrates the 75th Anniversary of the Capitol Building [Gold Man]October 1st will be the 75th anniversary of the dedication of the Oregon State Capitol Building. The State Library is joining the celebration with resources and activities. Library staff have compiled a web exhibit documenting the fire that burned the previous capitol building, the controversy over where to build the new capitol, and the construction and dedication of the capitol building. The exhibit includes digital copies of publications, photographs, and newspaper clippings from OSL's collection. On Saturday, October 5th, the Capitol Building will be open for family-oriented activities. OSL will also be open from 10:00-4:00. Volunteers from the Willamette Valley Genealogical Society will be available to assist with family history research. An exhibit of items from the corner stone of the previous capitol building will be on temporary display; these items were last displayed as part of the rededication of the State Library Building in 2001. Also on October 5th, at 11:00 a.m., OSL will host a special lecture entitled, "Where to Locate the New Oregon State Capitol? A Brief 'Documentary' History." Using recently scanned published documents from Oregon State agencies, newspaper articles, and other sources, OSL Special Collections Coordinator Dave Hegeman will outline the political struggle to determine where the new state capitol would be sited. OSL will also participate in a scavenger hunt coordinated by the Oregon State Capitol Foundation. We hope you'll enjoy celebrating this anniversary with us. Statewide Database Procurement Progresses The Statewide Database Licensing Advisory Committee (SDLAC) has completed first round evaluations of proposals for the next statewide database contract. Five vendors have been selected to proceed to the second round. The SDLAC expects to make its recommendations to the LSTA Council by the end of October 2013, and a final decision on the next statewide contract made by State Library Board by the end of December 2013. For more information about the request for proposals and evaluation process, see p. 5-7 of the recently published 2013 SDLAC Annual Report. If you have any questions or comments about the evaluation process, please direct them to members of the SDLAC. The current statewide contract with Gale/Cengage will remain in place through July 2014. As mentioned in an earlier LTLO article, 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. Questions? Please contact Arlene Weible, Electronic Services Consultant. Letters About Literature Reading and Writing Contest Has Begun [LALImage]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 Young Adult Network. For more information, please visit the website or contact Jennifer Maurer, coordinator of the Letters About Literature activities in Oregon. LSTA Advisory Council Meets September 19 The LSTA Advisory Council meets September 19. The open forum is at 1:00 p.m. for anyone wishing to address the Council. They will be reviewing full grant proposals and discussing statewide grants.

Build! Play! giveaway. The two organizations invite parents, children, teachers, community members and everyone in between to "thank" their local public library for their great summer programs. With school doors opening across the country it's hard to believe summer has come to an end. Your public library's hard work this summer has not gone unnoticed. LEGO DUPLO would like to thank public libraries for the creative ways they have made summer reading fun for children with $5,000 to be used for future children's programs. Until Oct. 15, 2013 ALSC and LEGO DUPLO invite the public to visit http://apps.facebook.com/duplo-prod/, enter their name, state and zip code to vote for their public library. In recognition of all of the meaningful programs, reading lists and activities that are carried out across the country, LEGO DUPLO will grant $5,000 to the public libraries in the neighborhood with the most entries. If there are multiple public libraries in the winning zip code the award money will be divided equally amongst them. Official rules are included. ALSC and LEGO DUPLO have worked together through Read! Build! Play! to bring tools and resources to libraries to help them incorporate constructive play into their programming. "Through play, young children learn about their world. With this knowledge, they can understand books and stories once they begin to read," said Starr Latronica, ALSC's President. To learn more about the partnership please visit http://readbuildplay.com. About ALSC ALSC, a division of the ALA, is the world's largest organization dedicated to the support and enhancement of library service to children.

While public libraries can't register to participate, we can help local schools participate in OBOB. Now the best time to call your school and offer support because your support may just be the thing that makes it possible for your school to participate in OBOB. Remember, those of you receiving Ready to Read Grants may use them to purchase OBOB titles for your library! Learn more about OBOB online at: http://oboblsta.pbworks.com/w/page/5653620/FrontPage. Below is a great article from OLA Hotline about other ways to support OBOB: [obob] Oregon Battle of the Books (OBOB) has an updated logo! This new design will replace the former one of the knight, and will be used in all publicity, including the OBOB wiki. Hav Havran, a professional graphic artist, was asked by De Ann Orand, an OBOB Executive Board member, to modernize the OBOB logo and he's drawn a crisp, new design of two teams of children pulling open the pages of a book. And speaking of OBOB, here are 12 ways, developed by Nancy Spaulding of the Cedar Mill Library, that public libraries can support their local OBOB teams: 12. Get OBOB: include multiple copies of OBOB titles in your library collections - don't forget audiobooks. 11. Make OBOB easy to find: mark your OBOB books with a special sticker (nab the nifty NEW logo on the OBOB website). 10. Make OBOB even easier to find: shelve OBOB books together for easy access. 9. List OBOB: reproduce and distribute the OBOB title list (download the brochure from the OBOB website). 8. List OBOB-digital: include the titles on your library's webpage or blog about them. 7. Link OBOB: link the OBOB titles from your webpage or blog to your library catalog. 6. Spread the word: let local schools and teachers know the OBOB books are available at your library. Find locally participating schools and OBOB contacts in the Registrations Received and Paid document on this wiki. 5. Give the books: include OBOB titles in prize book giveaways (like summer reading). 4. Have a challenge: challenge kids to write their own OBOB questions. Stick 'em on a bulletin board, have a question round-robin OBOB event, post them on your website. 3. Host OBOB event #1: host OBOB book discussion groups at the library. 2. Host OBOB event #2: hold just-for-practice battles at the library over winter break 1. Volunteer: send library staff to the school and/or regional tournaments. For more information about the OBOB, please refer to the OBOB website. _________________ Elke H.

Message-ID: Just thought you might find this of interest. http://www.districtdispatch.org/2013/09/knew-print-disabled-people-read/ Who Knew? Print disabled people read!! Posted on September 4, 2013 by Carrie Russell ALA's Office for Information Technology Policy (OITP) submitted commentsto the FCC in response to a petition from the E-reader Coalition Petition of Class Waiver of Commission's rules for Access to Advanced Communications and Services (ACS) for People with Disabilities. The E-reader Coalition--Amazon, Sony and Kobo-- assert that their e-readers were manufactured for the *sole purpose of reading text*, therefore they should not be required to comply with FCC regulations that e-readers be accessible. After all, people with print and other disabilities don't read, right? The E-reader Coalition suggests that e-readers are a different class of product. They do not have all of the functionalities of a quality tablet or smart phone. Instead the e-reader is a "stripped down" device, manufactured to be subpar because some consumers just want a simple e-reader. At the same time, the Coalition says that if they were required to make e-readers accessible (enabling text-to-speech) people with print and other disabilities would find the quality subpar (Apparently, subpar products are fine for some people but not for others). Furthermore, the public interest would not be served because many consumers want the choice of purchasing a simple e-reader, with no extra functionalities that would distract them from reading. Adding text-to-speech functionality to a simple e-reader supposedly would disturb readers. Sometimes, you just have to shake your head. In our response in opposition to the petition, we note that people with print disabilities actually read. They also are consumers who buy e-books. They also like to have choice in the marketplace when buying an e-reader. And if this wasn't obvious enough, allowing the E-reader Coalition an exemption would be discriminatory. We know that because the Justice Department has sued librarieswho loan inaccessible e-readers because it is discriminatory. http://www.districtdispatch.org/2013/09/knew-print-disabled-people-read/ -- *Diedre Conkling** Lincoln County Library District P.O.

A reception will follow the lecture. *Alison J. Head,* Executive Director of Project Information Literacywill present * "What Librarians and Faculty Should Know about Today's Students and their Research Practices."* "How do today's students find information and conduct research for coursework and use in their everyday lives? Discover what we have learned at Project Information Literacy (PIL), an ongoing research study that has surveyed and interviewed more than 13,000 college students at over 50 US colleges and universities since 2008. Our findings indicate a large majority of students still attend college to learn, but many are lost in a thicket of information overload. Nearly all students intentionally use a small compass for navigating the ever-widening and complex information landscape they inhabit. They struggle with managing the IT devices that permeate their lives and endlessly distract them. Most students turn to professors, friends, family members - or no one at all - for help with research, rather than asking librarians. What's a librarian to do? Key takeaways are presented from the PIL studies, including a discussion of their implications for teaching, learning, work, and librarianship in the 21st century."

[Request For Proposal] Posted on August 31, 2013 [http://foundationcenter.org/pnd/images/fontsize1.gif][http://foundationcenter.org/pnd/images/fontsize2.gif][http://foundationcenter.org/pnd/images/fontsize3.gif] [print] Deadline: September 23, 2013 (Pre-Applications) W.K. Kellogg Foundation Announces New Family Engagement Initiative The W.K. Kellogg Foundation has announced a $5 million investment to identify and cultivate innovations in the growing field of family engagement that support children's educational success from birth to 8 years old. Through the initiative, the foundation seeks to support and expand on-the-ground family engagement efforts that include program design and implementation, service delivery, and/or policy development and implementation. WKKF is accepting pre-proposals from organizations that have developed effective family engagement models that address obstacles faced by low-income families and that wish to receive funding of up to $500,000 for one to three years. Priority will be given to proposals that outline effective teaching strategies, aim to align early childhood systems in their communities, and focus on building family economic security as well as strong family engagement in education. For the purposes of this Request for Proposals, WKKF defines family engagement as a shared responsibility of families, schools, and communities for student learning and achievement. Public entities or nonprofit organizations that are tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and can demonstrate the fiscal capacity to manage the funds are eligible to apply. Pre-applications must be received no later than September 23, 2013. If selected, applicants will be invited to provide a full proposal in October 2013, and will receive guidelines upon selection. Selected grantees will be notified of their awards in December 2013. For complete program guidelines and application instructions, see the WKKF Web site. Contact: Link to Complete RFP The 2013 FRS Grant Program is now open. Click here to download the 2013 FRS Grant Proposal Guidelines. You can find additional information on the Foundation for Rural Service at http://www.frs.org/rural-community-outreach/grant-program As part of its ongoing commitment to rural communities across the country, the Foundation for Rural Service provides annual grants for communities served by NTCA members. The goal of this program is to support local efforts to build and sustain a high quality of life in rural America. Grants will be concentrated in four major areas: * Business Development * Community Development * Education * Telecommunications Grants can range from $250 to $5000 that go back in to rural communities, every year. FRS grants will allow rural communities to take that first step towards a project or plan that can help better the lives of those around them - whether it is smart boards in schools, a Main Street beautification project, better agricultural equipment for farms, start-up money for young entrepreneurs, or basic computer classes. These funds help rural Americans invest in their communities in meaningful ways. The Foundation will give priority to proposals that foster collaboration among different community agencies, and local government, reflect a comprehensive approach to community development, promote community participation and engagement, and make rural communities a better place to live and work.

Only one survey per library/library system should be submitted. If you are responsible for children's, teen, and/or adult summer reading at your library, please talk to your library director about reporting your statistics. The deadline for completing the summer reading statistics and ordering survey is Monday, September 30th. The survey sent to your director and Ready to Read Grant key contact does not include an opportunity to provide feedback. You will have an opportunity to provide feedback on all things summer reading via the SRP feedback survey conducted and sent by Abbie Anderson, the Oregon Young Adult Network's (OYAN) CSLP Liaison. The SRP feedback survey will go out to all Oregon library staff via the kids-lib, OYAN, and libs-or email discussion lists. This allows you and your colleagues to share your professional opinions about summer reading individually. Be on the lookout for that survey from Abbie.

[The Accidental Law Librarian, By Anthony Aycock] Aycock, Anthony. The Accidental Law Librarian. Information Today, Inc., 2013. In reality, all librarians get legal questions, so many of us find ourselves navigating the complicated world of legal information. This book should help: it provides great tips and hints for those challenging reference questions and working with legal publishers and databases. Those contemplating law librarianship can also benefit from chapters addressing the structure and culture of law libraries. 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. Items will be checked out to your library, not to you personally, for 4 weeks (print materials) or 2 weeks (videos). Materials will be delivered via mail or Orbis Cascade Alliance Courier, and you may return them the same way. Normally a single copy is purchased and is loaned on a first-come-first-serve basis. You may be put on a hold list for several weeks.

The conference committee is especially seeking programs that relate to innovation, transformation and outreach. At this point the program does not have to be fully organized; you can give us a general idea of the program and speakers (if known), and fill in the other details asked on the proposal form. Each program or pre-conference must be sponsored by an OLA unit, but if you have great program idea and don't have a sponsor, the Program Committee will attempt some matchmaking.

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.

Washington, D.C.: BoardSource, 2011. 658.422 Willi ISBN 978-1586861247 In a constructive partnership with the board, the chief executive works hard to provide leadership that engages the board in exceptional governance - work that requires a lot of time and energy. Building the Governance Partnership: The Chief Executive's Guide to Getting the Best from the Board, Second Edition, offers practical tips and perspectives to help you manage this considerable investment of time and build a partnership with the board that is based on support, trust, honesty, forthrightness, respect, and understanding. Within its pages, you'll learn how to work for, work with, and work the board. And while it is time-consuming work, the rewards - the success of both you and your organization - are worth the effort.

What is the role of the board? What is expected of board members? And how does an effective board operate? Board Fundamentals answers these questions and more. The book is for new board members in need of an introduction to the principles of nonprofit governance experienced board members in need of a refresher and new ideas chief executives -- as well as senior staff who interact with the board -- who want to better understand their and the board's roles and responsibilities ...and is the perfect vehicle for opening a conversation between the board and the chief executive about their respective roles in organizational governance. Within its pages, you will find a description of the nonprofit sector, a discussion of the concept of governance (something that seems murky to many people new to this type of service), an in-depth look at the key governance roles and responsibilities of the board and the individuals involved in organizational governance, and suggestions on how the board can most effectively carry out its responsibilities. At the end of each chapter, there is a set of questions designed to engage your board in an exploration of its practices. Boards that raise these questions in their board meetings are sometimes surprised by the answers and should use the opportunity to discuss how they can improve their governance. [book3.jpg] Glushko, Robert J. ed. The Discipline of Organizing. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 2013. 025 Disci ISBN: 978-0262518505 Organizing is such a common activity that we often do it without thinking much about it. In our daily lives we organize physical things--books on shelves, cutlery in kitchen drawers--and digital things--Web pages, MP3 files, scientific datasets. Millions of people create and browse Web sites, blog, tag, tweet, and upload and download content of all media types without thinking "I'm organizing now" or "I'm retrieving now." This book offers a framework for the theory and practice of organizing that integrates information organization (IO) and information retrieval (IR), bridging the disciplinary chasms between Library and Information Science and Computer Science, each of which views and teaches IO and IR as separate topics and in substantially different ways. It introduces the unifying concept of an Organizing System--an intentionally arranged collection of resources and the interactions they support--and then explains the key concepts and challenges in the design and deployment of Organizing Systems in many domains, including libraries, museums, business information systems, personal information management, and social computing. Intended for classroom use or as a professional reference, the book covers the activities common to all organizing systems: identifying resources to be organized; organizing resources by describing and classifying them; designing resource-based interactions; and maintaining resources and organization over time. The book is extensively annotated with disciplinary-specific notes to ground it with relevant concepts and references of library science, computing, cognitive science, law, and business. Be sure to check out our Library and Information Science (LIS) blog (http://osl-lis.blogspot.com/) to discover the most recent additions to our LIS collection and search our catalog (http://oregon.gov/OSL/index.shtml) for our complete holdings.

The program is called "The Yearbook Project", and it is sponsored by the Records Conversion Department at OCI; as I previously stated...COMPLETELY FREE. We even pay the S & H. The Yearbook Project came about after it was brought to our attention that high schools and local libraries throughout Oklahoma were losing their yearbooks. Some were being destroyed by natural disasters, and others were being destroyed by people cutting images out of them. Once they are gone or damaged it is nearly impossible to replace them and these yearbooks are irreplaceable because of their historical value alone. The Records Conversion and Digital Imaging departments also use this program as an advertising tool to highlight the quality of work we do here at OCI. There's no obligation for our other services, we would just hope you keep us in mind if you ever do need them. OCI is a state agency located in Lexington, Oklahoma. Our Records Conversion department has been in business for thirty (30) years and consists of four areas; Data Entry, Digital Imaging, Image Review & Verification, and Microfilm. We do records conversion for every state agency in Oklahoma. These include; the Department of Education, Department of Human Services, Department of Labor, The Oklahoma Supreme Court, and the Attorney General's Office, just to name a few. We decided to start a project where we could help preserve these books and their historical content. After beginning this process, we discovered there is a great need for this service by the overwhelming response we've received. OCI decided to expand our free project by contacting other states with this offer. Our goal is to digitize and preserve as many high school yearbooks as possible using our non-destructive scanning method. This ensures that the yearbooks are not damaged and that they are returned in their original condition. The yearbooks are scanned at 300 dpi and saved in a [jpeg] format. Meaning, they are done with Publisher Quality so that libraries can digitally reprint any books, just a few pages, or a single image from the DVD for anyone who would like a copy, or you can burn-off DVD's and sell them. This can been a good way to raise money for your library with Class Reunions, Alumni Groups, Historical Societies, etc. After the yearbooks are scanned, they are returned to your library along with a set of DVD's containing each yearbook. These DVD's belong to the library and you can then load it in your computer database for everyone to access. In addition, if you would like to contact the area high schools and add to your current collection, we will provide a second set of DVD's to share with the schools (also free) and their books would be returned to you. Just be sure to let us know which school(s) to include an extra set for. The only thing needed to be done from your side is for you and/or your staff to box them up (no more than 25-30 in a copier-paper size box, please) tape them securely and make two inventory sheets, one for yourself and one to be put in the box. You'll then call us and let us know what day you would like scheduled for pick-up and we will take care of the rest with FED-EX. We will send you the shipping-labels via-email and the books will be returned to you within 2-3 weeks. Whether you have only a few or hundreds, we would be happy to be of service to you.

The program is called "The Yearbook Project", and it is sponsored by the Records Conversion Department at OCI; as I previously stated...COMPLETELY FREE. We even pay the S & H. The Yearbook Project came about after it was brought to our attention that high schools and local libraries throughout Oklahoma were losing their yearbooks. Some were being destroyed by natural disasters, and others were being destroyed by people cutting images out of them. Once they are gone or damaged it is nearly impossible to replace them and these yearbooks are irreplaceable because of their historical value alone. The Records Conversion and Digital Imaging departments also use this program as an advertising tool to highlight the quality of work we do here at OCI. There's no obligation for our other services, we would just hope you keep us in mind if you ever do need them. OCI is a state agency located in Lexington, Oklahoma. Our Records Conversion department has been in business for thirty (30) years and consists of four areas; Data Entry, Digital Imaging, Image Review & Verification, and Microfilm. We do records conversion for every state agency in Oklahoma. These include; the Department of Education, Department of Human Services, Department of Labor, The Oklahoma Supreme Court, and the Attorney General's Office, just to name a few. We decided to start a project where we could help preserve these books and their historical content. After beginning this process, we discovered there is a great need for this service by the overwhelming response we've received. OCI decided to expand our free project by contacting other states with this offer. Our goal is to digitize and preserve as many high school yearbooks as possible using our non-destructive scanning method. This ensures that the yearbooks are not damaged and that they are returned in their original condition. The yearbooks are scanned at 300 dpi and saved in a [jpeg] format. Meaning, they are done with Publisher Quality so that libraries can digitally reprint any books, just a few pages, or a single image from the DVD for anyone who would like a copy, or you can burn-off DVD's and sell them. This can been a good way to raise money for your library with Class Reunions, Alumni Groups, Historical Societies, etc. After the yearbooks are scanned, they are returned to your library along with a set of DVD's containing each yearbook. These DVD's belong to the library and you can then load it in your computer database for everyone to access. In addition, if you would like to contact the area high schools and add to your current collection, we will provide a second set of DVD's to share with the schools (also free) and their books would be returned to you. Just be sure to let us know which school(s) to include an extra set for. The only thing needed to be done from your side is for you and/or your staff to box them up (no more than 25-30 in a copier-paper size box, please) tape them securely and make two inventory sheets, one for yourself and one to be put in the box. You'll then call us and let us know what day you would like scheduled for pick-up and we will take care of the rest with FED-EX. We will send you the shipping-labels via-email and the books will be returned to you within 2-3 weeks. Whether you have only a few or hundreds, we would be happy to be of service to you.

Karen Ellis, director of the Taylor Public Library here in my neck of the woods, talked about working with them at a session at the Texas Library Association conference last spring, and she had nothing but good things to say. Her email is karen.ellis at taylortx.gov. There was a bit of a discussion on one of the email lists recently about them; my memory is that a number of people seemed to think that the approach taken by OCI is somehow disreputable (because they use prisoners?), but I apparently deleted the messages. For myself, I have concerns about copyright in yearbooks because the schools (at least in Texas) don't seem to collect, or keep if they do collect, copyright permissions from the photographers [or companies -Darci] who supply photos for senior pictures. For people like Karen, it's not an issue because she doesn't share the digital copy outside the library, but for people wanting to make the yearbooks public it's a bit of a risk. However, to my knowledge no library has ever been sued. >From Pattie Mayfield, Bertha Voyer Memorial Library, Honey Grove, TX (mayfield at honeygrove.org) by way of the Association of Rural and Small Libraries (with permission): We received the email several months ago and since digitizing some of our older, historic properties had been something we've wanted to do for years - we jumped on the offer! We mailed them all the year books from our high school - from 1912 to 2012 - at their cost for shipping. They had the books for about a month and then we received the books back. We also received discs with the scans of EVERY page of the yearbooks as well as the covers. They aren't quite professionally done - but they are better than what we had or what we would have done in house. We then started sending yearbooks that we collected from other areas near us where the school districts are no longer in existence. We gathered these from individuals - so it was a little more work on our part - but we now have those done and they were not available to anyone other than those who still had their books. We are in the process of putting the scans on our Historical Society web page - http://honeygrovepreservation.org/education.html. Not perfect - but better than not having them. And it cost us absolutely nothing! We too thought it sounded too good to be true. It is our understanding that OCI received a grant for this and that they will do the project until the money runs out. It is a way to give the inmates another opportunity to learn something and to give back while they are incarcerated. We thought there would be some "hidden" cost or that our books might get lost. But it has worked out well and we are so glad we did it. [Feel free to contact Pattie if you have additional questions] In addition to the copyright issues mentioned above, there was also some concern expressed about who "owned" the rights to the scans as it may be that OCI keeps copies of everything they scan and could possibly sell them at some point in the future so you may want to see if you can get a more definitive answer directly from OCI. I have a query out to two other folks who have used OCI and will pass those along if I hear back anytime soon.

Letters About Literature is a national reading and writing contest sponsored by the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress (LOC) and by Oregon's equivalent at the State Library. Students write letters to any author explaining how that author's book changed their way of thinking about the world or themselves. Please help promote this program, including among homeschoolers. The LOC asks teachers/parents to allow students to choose a book that is meaningful to them and asks students to explain *why* or *how* the book was significant to them instead of summarizing the plot. The focus of a participant's letter is to make clear the connection one has with a book. Here's what Lynette Gottlieb, a teacher in Corvallis, had to say about the contest: Letters about Literature was a completely positive experience for my students...importantly, some of my students who do not identify as writers, and do not generally enjoy the experience, were able to write about something meaningful to them and participate in an inclusive contest that also recognized them...the process connects them to the human experience of literature. It supports my English classroom where I give students choice about reading whenever possible and teach that literature and writing are first and foremost about communication. 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 because of national program funding limitations. Oregon's three winners - one from each competition level - will go on to compete nationally. Entry forms and guidelines are available online at http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/youthsvcs/aboutlit.aspx. 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 national Center for the Book, 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. Thanks for passing along the information and encouraging participation.

[http://www.alastore.ala.org/images/krasulski300.jpg] Krasulski, Michael J. and Trevor A. Dawes (eds.) Twenty-first Century Access Services on the Front Line of Academic Librarianship. Association of College and Research Libraries, 2013. ISBN: 978-083898666-0 Description Circulation of library materials in academic libraries has evolved into a much broader suite of services known by the terms "access services". Today's access services departments are expanding their portfolios to include electronic reserves (e-reserves), increased cooperative and shared services, facilities management, assessment initiatives, e-book lending initiatives and copyright management. As noted by James Neal in the book's forward, this book "defines the hybrid qualities that characterize the suite of services that have bridged analog and electronic content, physical and virtual space, and self-sufficient and radically collaborative and collective relationships among libraries." ["The Changing Academic Library, Second Edition: Operations, Cultures, and Environments" by John M. Budd.] Budd, John M. The Changing Academic Library: Operations, Culture, Environments. 2nd ed. Association of College and Research Libraries, ALA, 2012. ISBN: 978-0-8389-8509-0 Description Originally published in 2005, Professor John Budd takes an updated look at the major changes experienced in academic libraries. Coverage includes a historical overview of higher education and academic libraries in the US; the organizational culture of higher education; the governance structure in colleges and universities; organization and management of academic libraries; library budgets; changes in scholarly communication; the collection; electronic information; the impact of the community; the academic librarian; and future concerns. The book is intended to stimulate conversation about the direction of instruction in the use of information into the future. 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.

Our motivations for creating this video were multiple: here at Kent State University, the Technical Services Department needed a way to train new staff and graduate student assistants. Having them watch a video is more efficient than providing face-to-face instruction for each new person. Second, results of a survey done in late 2012 showed that nearly a third of Ohio public library catalogers had never heard of RDA at the time of the survey.* We wanted to provide something to aid all kinds of catalogers - public, school, you name it - in getting comfortable with RDA. Please feel free to share this link with other discussion lists. I'd appreciate it especially if people would pass the link on to discussion lists for public and school librarians.

To: "ALA Council (alacoun at ala.org)" *ALA calls for leap forward in E-rate goals; streamlined program* ** ** September 16 the American Library Association (ALA) filed comments that asked the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to accelerate deployment of the high-capacity broadband needed to serve students and learners of all ages through our nation's libraries and schools. ALA calls for new strategic investments in telecommunications and broadband infrastructure, as well as program changes to improve cost-effectiveness and streamline processes to enable greater participation.**** ** ** America's 16,417 public libraries serve more than 77 million computer users each year, yet only half of these multi-user outlets offer Internet speeds above the FCC's *home* broadband recommendation of 4 Mbps. Through these Internet connections, libraries support the education, employment and e-government resources and services all increasingly moving to "the cloud."* *** ** ** "The nation is facing a sea change in what robust technology infrastructure can enable, and libraries are perfectly positioned to light the way forward and ensure no one is excluded from digital opportunity," said ALA President Barbara Stripling. "America's libraries must move from basic connectivity to high-capacity broadband so our students and our communities can compete globally The E-rate program is essential for fulfilling this digital promise."**** ** ** Culminating two months of intensive review and research, the ALA's response to the FCC's most comprehensive E-rate proceeding since the program's 1997 inception acknowledges this enormous opportunity for advancing the E-rate program. Today's filing also aligns with President Obama's ConnectED goal to connect America's students through libraries and schools to the internet through high-speed broadband and high-speed wireless within five years. **** ** ** The ALA calls for new E-rate funding to jumpstart and sustain high-capacity and high-speed internet connections that support digital learning and economic development through libraries and schools. The current funding cap on the program consistently falls far short of meeting basic demand for internet-enabled education and learning services, and technology trends clearly show needs and future capabilities only are growing. To address this, ALA supports a two-pronged approach: 1) New temporary funding is needed to support the build-out of high-capacity broadband networks and especially provide increased support for libraries with the lowest levels of broadband connectivity. 2) A permanent increase in funding is not only justified but is a sound investment for the country.**** ** ** "Current funding does not reflect the economic reality faced by libraries and schools as they try to upgrade their broadband services," said Emily Sheketoff, director of the ALA Washington Office. "This FCC proceeding provides an important opportunity to add more funding to the program and increase the value of the program to libraries, schools and our communities."**** ** ** ALA's comments also encourage the FCC to:**** **? **Provide additional E-rate discounts for remote rural libraries that often confront the greatest broadband costs; **** **? **Streamline the E-rate's application review process to incent consortium purchasing and replace E-rate program procurement rules with those of the applicable locality or state; **** **? **Lower barriers to deployment of dark and lit fiber and ownership of wide area networks when they are the most cost-effective ways to deliver high-capacity broadband to libraries and schools;**** **? **Work in cooperation with the library and schools communities to develop scalable bandwidth targets and benchmarks for measuring progress against these targets; and**** **? **Eliminate the Form 470 and allow applicants to file an "evergreen" Form 471 for multi-year contracts.**** ** ** "We commend the FCC Commissioners on their thoughtful and thorough invitation to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the E-rate program," said Marijke Visser, assistant director of the ALA Office for Information Technology Policy. "Today's filing is clearly only the first step to an E-rate 2.0, and we look forward to engaging in the process over the coming months."**** -- *Diedre Conkling** Lincoln County Library District P.O.

Keeping faithful users happy, while attracting non-users, is a challenge we need to meet in order to keep our libraries robust and vital. The Oregon Library Association Conference Committee is looking for program and pre-conference proposals for the 2014 Conference - The Inside Out Library - to be held at the Salem Convention Center in Salem, April 16-18. The conference committee is especially seeking programs that relate to innovation, transformation and outreach. At this point the program does not have to be fully organized; you can give us a general idea of the program and speakers (if known), and fill in the other details asked on the proposal form. Each program or pre-conference must be sponsored by an OLA unit, but if you have great program idea and don't have a sponsor, the Program Committee will attempt some matchmaking. The Pre-Conference and Program Proposal deadline has been extended to September 30, 2013. The Showcase Proposal deadline has been extended to November 30, 2013. The Conference Website includes links to the Pre-Conference Proposal Form, Program Proposal Form and Showcase Proposal Form. Contact Judith Norton, Conference Program Committee chair, if you have questions (judithmarie55 at yahoo.com or 971-207-9735). Many thanks from the program committee!

I think this title is more about the content, which is not measured by lexile -- that is, will 12 or 13 yr old students get what's going on and be able to discuss and delve into the ideas? While it's also a good HS read, where delving might/should be deeper, I think it's an accessible read for 7-8th graders, and maybe just the hook for boys in particular at a lower reading level. I see it as a title used to challenge comprehension and critical thinking, more than to enhance one's reading level.

Edge helps libraries connect their services to community priorities. Edge will be available to public libraries nationwide in January 2014. See http://www.libraryedge.org for more information. A group of pilot libraries has been testing the benchmarks in their libraries and communities. Join us as we talk with participants from pilot libraries located in rural communities. Mary Haney is the director of the Hennessey Public Library in Oklahoma and Lee Ann Barnes is the director of the Okeene Public Library, also in Oklahoma. What did they do? What did they learn? What are they planning to do next? Hear their stories and ask questions, too. Register for this FREE session at: https://cc.readytalk.com/cc/s/registrations/new?cid=ao4i6xrhu05c .

Libraries, librarians don?t just wait for the questions to come to them. They leave the building and embed the public library in the community. Through a series of projects and experiments, the Douglas County librarians have explored a new dimension of modern reference service, one that places their expertise at points of need to respond to the questions the public *didn?t* take to the library. By helping to define and answer questions in context, the embedded librarians add value to their community. * FREE! 09/25/13 QA Webinar: Crowd Source Testing * Crowdsourcing has become widely acknowledged as a productivity solution across numerous industries. However, for companies incorporating crowdsourcing into existing business practices, specific issues must be addressed: What problem are we trying to solve? How do we control the process? How do we incentivize people to achieve our goals? Ultimately, the key to successfully employing a crowdsourcing model is to move beyond the realm of the "mob" to create an engaged, interactive community of diverse and skilled professionals. In the world of quality assurance, crowdsourcing has the potential to effectively solve emerging challenges and take your testing to new heights. Using real-world examples, uTest's John Montgomery * *explains how you can leverage the crowd to complement your internal systems, ensure systems work as intended under real-world conditions and effectively manage the scalability of efforts. * FREE! **09/27/13 Sing With Our Kids * Based on Nancy Stewart's two-year Sing With Our Kids pilot project for early learning through community singing; Nancy will model how to use songs and singing to create community, promote early literacy, and incorporate technology responsibly. ** www.nwcentral.org ** -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Library Instruction West is the new name for the popular LOEX of the West conference. The new name reflects the mission of the conference and reflects our regional spirit; it also distinguishes this conference from the national LOEX organization and conference (with which we were never affiliated). The Library Instruction West 2014 theme is ?Open, Sustainable Instruction.? We are excited to highlight Portland?s reputation for green living and PSU?s emphasis on sustainability as a core value and research focus. At the same time, we have much to learn from each other about creating effective, long-lasting library instruction programs that are truly sustainable. Ideas for possible sessions include: - Scalability: How can a program grow when resources don?t? - Lo-fi: Sharing ideas about engaging students without fancy gadgets - Care & feeding of your inner teacher: Pedagogical approaches that keep us excited - Collaboration: Partnerships that grow beyond individual relationships and individual campuses - Online presence: Balancing potential with planning - Renewable resource: Diversity in the library ecosystem - Sustaining and renewing programs in changing academic environments Please visit the conference website for more information: http://library.pdx.edu/liwest2014.html Session Formats Our session formats are simple and, we hope, allow for creativity. There are two options for session length, 15 minutes and 45 minutes. The 15 minute sessions will be like a longer lightning talk, with roughly 10 minutes of presenting and 5 minutes for questions. Bring your energy! The format is flexible for the 45 minute sessions, and you are welcome to experiment with format or go with something more traditional like a panel, workshop, or presentation. All proposals will be blind reviewed. Proposal Submissions The deadline for submitting your session proposal is 5:00 pm PST, Friday, November 15, 2013. For your proposal, please submit two session descriptions: 1. A short abstract of 150 words or less. If your proposal is accepted, we will use this abstract for the conference program. The review committee will not see these abstracts, so they can include identifying information. 2. A longer session description of 500 words or less. The Program Committee will review this description for selection purposes. This description must not include any identifying information about the institution or presenters to ensure a blind review. The submission form is available here: http://bit.ly/LIW2014 Session proposals will be scored on these criteria: - Clarity of goals or objectives for session - Originality, creativity, or innovation in content and/or presentation - Timeliness/relevance of content - Connection to conference theme, ?Open, Sustainable Instruction?

In the ideal we hoped to provide news from a different perspective - e.g. BBC, Al Jazeera, etc. Since we don't want sound, a crawl or CC is required. We all thought this would be an easy thing & that surely a subscription service was out there to accommodate this need but so far, we've come up empty handed. Currently we don't have cable though we did explore the option of logging into a campus Comcast.net account and accessing the news channels via their "live TV" option. Sadly we discovered only one news options (CNN). We did discover one subscription service that included European and South African news channels (Livestation) but they haven't yet offered a crawl or captioning as an option. Is anyone else streaming news channels in the library who can offer us some tips on how they handled the setup?

At this point the program does not have to be fully organized; you can give us a general idea of the program and speakers (if known), and fill in the other details asked on the proposal form. Each program or pre-conference must be sponsored by an OLA unit, but if you have great program idea and don't have a sponsor, the Program Committee will attempt some matchmaking. The Pre-Conference and Program Proposal deadline has been extended to September 30, 2013. The Showcase Proposal deadline has been extended to November 30, 2013.

The IMLS brief, The State of Small and Rural Libraries in the United States, provides the agency?s first targeted analysis of trends for rural and small library services. The report gives an overview of the distribution, service use, fiscal health, and staffing of these important community assets. One of the report?s surprising findings is the sheer number of public libraries that can be classified as either small or rural. The report finds that 6,098 libraries (77.1 percent of all public libraries) are small libraries and that overall 46 million people (15.4 percent of the population) are served by small libraries. Further the report finds that city libraries are being outpaced by their rural counterparts in providing access to broadband and e-books. ?This report is a must read for policymakers who are concerned about the health and vitality of rural America,? said Susan H. Hildreth, Director of the Institute of Museum and Library Services. ?Whether the issue is education, economic development, or access to broadband, small and rural libraries are important communications hubs for people in small towns and rural locations.? For this analysis, IMLS developed definitions for ?small? and ?rural,? terms that lack widely accepted definitions when applied to public libraries. ?Rural? is defined using locale codes developed by the U.S. Census Bureau for the National Center for Education Statistics to indicate any area outside of an urbanized area or urban cluster. ?Small library? is defined as a public library with a legal service area population below 25,000 people. The brief?s key findings include the following: * Of the 8,956 public libraries in the United States in FY2011, 77.1 percent can be categorized as small. Almost half of all public libraries, 46.8 percent, were rural libraries. Their sheer number and broad distribution across the country speaks volumes about the value local communities place on library services. * In FY2011, there were 167.6 million recorded visits to rural public libraries, a number that has increased by 4.2 percent over the past three years, and there were 301.2 million visits to small public libraries in FY2011, a three-year increase of 4.6 percent. The fact that service use continues to increase at these libraries at a time when other libraries are experiencing declines on a per capita basis is a further testament to their resilience and continued relevance to rural life. * There were 49,048 publicly accessible computer terminals in rural libraries in FY2011, a three-year increase of 20.2 percent. In comparison to urban public libraries, rural libraries have higher per-capita levels of publicly accessible Internet computers and e-books. Given the lag in broadband access in rural communities when compared to suburban and urban areas, this further emphasizes the strong role public libraries play in providing access to the critical digital resources that are directly related to 21st-century skills.

The projects were selected from more than 285 applications requesting a total of $37,977,530 and were awarded through three IMLS programs: the Native American Library Services Enhancement program, the Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program, and the National Leadership Grants for Libraries program.Grantees are matching these awards with a total of $10,546,376 in non-federal funds. ?Libraries of all types are anchors for their communities. Whether an academic library serving a university, a Native American library serving a reservation, or a local library serving residents, communities rely on these trusted institutions for information they want and need,? said IMLS Director Susan Hildreth. ?With these federal investments, libraries will be able to address challenges that face the library field, boost their professional workforce with training and education, and better meet the needs of their communities with improved programs and services.? The Native American Library Services Enhancement grants are competitive grants to federally recognized tribes to expand services for learning, access to information, and partnership. The Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program grants fund projects designed to address the education and training needs of library professionals. National Leadership Grants for Libraries support projects that improve professional practice beyond the grantee institution. Grantees are planning a variety of projects and initiatives, including the following: * The American Library Association will research the effect of early literacy library programming on parent behavior and engagement. * A tribal library will offer six hands-on genealogy workshops, making it possible for participants to explore their family histories with historic photographs and documents and share family stories and oral traditions with tribal members. * Two university libraries will collaborate with a Chinese library to test the use of Machine Translation technology for digital collections. * A state school library association will create a distance learning Masters Degree program to prepare school librarians to teach student digital literacy skills. * A university library will create a plan that would establish a central access point for digital resources in American Sign Language. * A university library and its partners, building on the free, open-source digital archiving platform called Mukurtu, will provide training and resources to Native American Tribes for planning their digitization and preservation activities.

This proceeding is a significant opportunity to take a hard look at this program through a 21stcentury lens--acknowledging the firm foundation the program has provided for libraries, and more importantly creating a vision for the program that moves library connectivity beyond basic and toward the broadband required for today, and the next 15 years. At my house when you accomplish something big, we make cookies. Then we sit around and talk about how great it is to be done, how hard it was to get done, how terrible it was to get from point A to point B, how plans changed and you had to start almost from the beginning, how you couldn't hang out with friends because you had to work on this crazy project...and wow! I can't believe it's finally finished! This is what I thought about after hitting the submit button on September 16 and on my way home. And it's what I thought about while mixing a batch of celebratory cookies. Here goes: NPRM Cookies In this proceeding we hope to accomplish three specific things. First, our commentsfocus on securing high-capacity broadband for libraries (nothing new really). Next they address issues that could encourage applicants to be cost effective and future thinking as they develop their broadband solutions (somewhat new). We also propose jumpstarting the program by investing immediately to support broadband build-out, especially for the libraries with the lowest levels of connectivity and to permanently increase the funding cap so that these investments can be sustained (new, and a bold but desperately needed step). What I needed to complete on the evening of the 16th was a batch of cookies worthy of all the E-rate and universal service lectures I subjected my family to for the past two months. And yes, they know what "direct payment to the applicant" is and what it means to be "a remote rural library." They also know why they can use their mobile devices at school and why the school Wi-Fi is slow in certain parts of the building. - 1/2 pound butter, softened - 1 1/2 cups brown sugar - 2 eggs - 1 tsp vanilla Instructions: Start with a traditional, firm foundation on which to build something new, but something that will be successful and meet the needs of your constituents (libraries or demanding children, either one). The basic structure of the E-rate program has been successful over the years. The program, however, has become somewhat unwieldy and overly complex and it is important to balance program rules and oversight with the application process so that USAC, the program administrator, can ensure the funds are used appropriately and program applicants can apply for and receive funding for the telecommunications services they need. As with any program, there is usually room for improvement, based on years of experience on the ground throughout the E-rate application cycle. - 1 1/2 cups unbleached white flour - 3/4 cup oats - 1/4 cup wheat germ or wheat bran - 1/4 cup shredded coconut - 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder - 2 tsps cinnamon - 1 tsp baking soda - 1 tsp salt This NPRM (Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and the long name for the current proceeding) looks at the current structure of the program to identify areas that, if tweaked according to our recommendations, could yield a more efficient program while making the applicant experience better. Some of the changes we propose will result in an E-rate program that focuses finite resources on the most critical infrastructure needs for libraries. We do, however, caution the FCC to implement changes with minimal disruption or burden for the applicant. *Add *(Here you can be creative but remember you should aim for about 1 1/2 cups of yummy things to add)*:* - 1/2 cup nuts of your choice (I used left over trail mix which had cashews, pumpkin seeds, almonds, and peanuts) - 1/2 cup total raisins and/or dried cranberries - 1/2 cup chocolate chips or broken up chocolate bars At the same time, the NPRM invites stakeholders to be innovative at a time when our communities, our students, and our nation has much to lose by continuing in a 'this is what we have always done' manner and much to gain by focusing the E-rate program on advancing sustainable investments in broadband. We have been asked to think about how to structure a telecommunications program that incents libraries (and schools) to think big, to plan for technology needs that support the types of learning and applications that we did not think about 15 years ago and that we have not yet envisioned for the next 15. Some of the proposals ALA put forward are far-reaching and will require careful planning for successful implementation. *We believe the strength of the E-rate program lies in its original purpose of connecting libraries and schools to advanced telecommunications services, but that to move beyond basic connectivity, the program should align with services and models that promote high-capacity solutions. * - Use a large spoon to drop cookies onto greased baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 375 for 9-10 minutes, careful not to over bake. Between now and October 16 when reply comments are due, we will read submitted comments, refine some of our initial thoughts, gather additional information and data, and collaborate with our library stakeholders. For those of you interested in learning more, consider taking advantage two upcoming events. On October 1 the Schools, Health & Libraries Broadband Coalition (SHLB) will hold a seminar on the E-rate proceeding, in-person or webcast. On October 7, the National Telecommunications &Information Administration (NTIA) holds a workshopon ConnectED. This reply period is not the end of the proceeding and our work will continue until the FCC issues an order (and when might that be, you ask). Have a cookie and stay tuned. http://www.districtdispatch.org/2013/09/e-rate-cookies-future-library-broadband/ -- *Diedre Conkling** Lincoln County Library District P.O.

This webinar will explain the ins and outs of answering such questions, including potential legal issues when providing help. We also will look briefly at the array of legal materials and resources available for free on the Internet.

What I have been able to piece together is that most urban-type areas will be cut back while the smaller markets will continue to receive 7 day a week deliver. The difference seems to be if your paper is delivered by the Oregonian or if it is delivered by an independent contractor. I have been unable to talk with anyone at the Oregonian since I spoke with someone in July. Based on what I know this is a done deal and we haven't been able to change their minds. Sorry, I wish I could have been more help.

My understanding is that the staff that support the Depository Library Program are definitely not considered essential and will not be available. Their FDSys system directly supports some Congressional functions, however, and may be deemed essential. I will update everyone if I hear definitively one way or another.

If the budget is not resolved, the federal government shuts down at midnight tonight. Patrons will not be able to access the following: * BARD * NLS public website, including the International Union Catalog Talking Books will continue business as normal: Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Reader advisory services and book distribution via USPS will continue normal operations.

I was thinking "well the web servers can operate without people" but I guess that is not necessarily true if some of the services have human responders. Or maybe they just want to make a point. :) Eva Calcagno, Director Washington County Cooperative Library Services (503)846-3233 www.wccls.org From: Libs-Or [mailto:libs-or-bounces at listsmart.osl.state.or.us] On Behalf Of Buzzy Nielsen Sent: Monday, September 30, 2013 11:58 AM To: Libs-or Subject: [Libs-Or] Government shutdown Hi everyone, This is probably a question for the government documents folks out there. It seems that the Library of Congress catalog (and presumably their z39.50 connections) will be shutting down tomorrow morning barring some last minute Congressional deal. Does anyone know if the download of documents through the Federal Despository Library Program will be as well? Cheers!
