Return to top of page State Library News Kim Stafford to Give Poetry Month Lecture on April 16 [KimStafford]To celebrate National Poetry Month, the Oregon State Library invites you to "William Stafford in Oregon," a lecture by Kim Stafford. The lecture will be at noon, April 16th, in Room 103 of the State Library. This year marks the centennial of the birth of Oregon poet William Stafford (1914-1993). The National Book Award winning author served as the Oregon Poet Laureate under three governors from 1975 to 1990. In this presentation, we will hear a range of poems about Oregon, as a celebration of William Stafford's literary affection for the state. Kim Stafford, son of William Stafford, is a poet and essayist, and has taught writing at Lewis and Clark College since 1979. The State Library is also hosting the exhibit "Remembering William Stafford," featuring books from the Oregon Poetry Collection, poetry broadsides, and photographs of Stafford. The exhibit will be on display until December 2014. State Library Now Accepting Letters of Interest for Edge Initiative Participation in 2014 [EdgeLogo]The Oregon State Library has fifteen openings for public libraries to participate in the next phase of the national launch of the Edge Initiative. Public libraries may submit a letter of interest via email to Darci Hanning by the April 30th. The Edge Toolkit has been designed to assist public libraries in meeting their individual demands and challenges of providing technology and technology services in alignment with community priorities and to plan for future technology needs. The first fifteen libraries to submit a letter of interest will be eligible to participate in the next round of assessments, training, and planning resources for free throughout 2014. Participating libraries will be expected to register online in May and complete the 2-4 hour technology assessment for their library (including any branches) by July 31st. Additional training and resources will be available to libraries who complete the assessment. Questions? Please contact Darci Hanning (503-378-2527 or email). Moses Fund Used for Music Therapy Resources [JoyTurnerMoses]Joy Turner Moses taught piano and violin in Salem for 40 years. A 1911 graduate of Willamette University, she opened her music studio in 1925 and taught until her death, in 1961. Her studio was located in her home, at 325 Capitol St. NE. This is now the approximate location of the Oregon Department of Transportation. In the early 1960s, the Moses fund was established at the Oregon State Library in her honor. The proceeds of this fund were designated for the purchase of materials in the area of music. When library staff recently learned of the music therapy program at the Oregon State Hospital, it was decided to use some of the Moses Fund to purchase a few resources to support this state program. Because these resources were purchased with donated funds, they also circulate to the public. These items are now available for check-out or interlibrary loan: Music From the Big House: DVD, Matson Films, 88 min. From director Bruce McDonald, this is the story of an historic blues concert performed by inmates from Louisiana State Penitentiary. Brought together through their shared love of music, we witness a real change in all who participate. Group Rhythm and Drumming with Older Adults: Music Therapy Techniques and Multimedia Training Guide: by B. Reuter, et al., Am. Music Therapy Assoc., with DVD. Includes 4 week training curriculum for group drumming with adults with DVD demonstrating technique. An Introduction to Music Therapy, Theory and Practice, 3rd ed.: by Wm. Davis, et al., Am. Music Therapy Assoc. Provides an overview of music therapy, populations served by music therapists and professional issues in music therapy. Therapeutic Uses of Music with Older Adults, 2nd ed.: by A. Clair and J Memmott, Am. Music Therapy Assoc. Music therapy is used to manage many behavioral problems of older adults as well as assist in physical rehabilitation, relaxation, palliative care and to help with caregiver stress. The appendices cover several relaxation techniques. Music Techniques in Therapy, Counseling, and Special Education, 3rd ed.: by Standley & Jones, Am. Music Therapy Assoc. Includes many lessons with objectives and an extensive section of music repertoire lists appropriate for special populations/situations. Medical Music Therapy: A Model Program for Clinical Practice, Education, Training, and Research: by J. Standley, et al. Am. Music Therapy Assoc. A collaborative effort between Florida State University Music Therapy Program and Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare, this is a valuable resource for staff who plan to initiate a medical music therapy program, an "arts in medicine" program, or a music therapy clinical specialty area. It provides a model for music therapy educators, students, clinicians, and hospital administrators. Songs of Power and Prayer in the Columbia Plateau: The Jesuit, the Medicine Man, and the Indian Hymn Singer: by C.H. Hamill, OSU Press. This is the first volume from the new series, First Peoples: New Directions in Indigenous Studies, from OSU Press. The author covers the power of song and music in the lives and history of Native Americans from the Columbia Plateau region. Announcing Fizz Boom Save! [GirlCloud]The Oregon State Library, Oregon Library Association, and Oregon College Savings Plan (OCSP) partner annually on the summer reading sweepstakes; this year called Fizz Boom Save. There are two changes: 1) the prize for youth was reduced from a $1,000 to a $529 Oregon College Savings Plan, and 2) the entry forms are now available in Spanish. Library directors received instructions for ordering Spanish entry forms in March. In the future, libraries will order the Spanish entry forms via the summer reading statistics and ordering survey just like the other sweepstakes material, summer reading certificates, and summer reading manuals are ordered. In conjunction with the Fizz Boom Save, OCSP will again be sponsoring one free performer for libraries serving fewer than 10,000 people and a media partnership with KATU to promote summer reading at public libraries and Fizz Boom Save. This year 53% of Oregon public libraries are eligible to receive a free performer. Library directors received the information they need to book their free performer in March. OCSP supports these summer reading activities because they benefit more youth beyond the 15 sweepstakes winners and their priority is to work with local libraries to provide youth with the experiences they need to get on and stay on the road to college. Visit the summer reading website to learn more about the sweepstakes. Contact 'Katie Anderson' (katie.anderson at state.or.us) with any questions.

Governor's Volunteer Award Winner, Josephine Community Libraries In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Dear Colleagues, As I expected, there have been concerns expressed to me about celebrating this volunteer library. My perspective on this is that the citizens of Josephine County didn't want to wait a great length of time without library service, especially for their children. They are very up front about the fact that their current situation is unsustainable and are even now collecting signatures to put a library district on the ballot in November 2014. I like to think of the creation of the non-profit Josephine Community Libraries, Inc. as an emergency response and they have been building towards sustainability ever since. I would also guess that the none of the public libraries in Oregon would be able to function at their current level without volunteers, I know that OSL couldn't. And finally, the political and financial situation in Josephine County is quite different than in other areas of Oregon, particularly the Willamette Valley. I think this is an important topic of discussion and would welcome other comments. MaryKay From: Libs-Or [mailto:libs-or-bounces at listsmart.osl.state.or.us] On Behalf Of MaryKay Dahlgreen Sent: Monday, March 31, 2014 3:47 PM To: (libs-or at listsmart.osl.state.or.us) Subject: [Libs-Or] Congratulations! Governor's Volunteer Award Winner, Josephine Community Libraries Not-for-Profit Volunteer Program: Josephine Community Libraries of Grants Pass Without the volunteers at Josephine Community Libraries, 83,000 Oregonians wouldn't have access to a public library. Josephine Community Libraries formed in fall 2007, after the county closed its libraries due to funding cuts and the failure of a ballot initiative for a library district. The nonprofit today operates all the county's libraries, with volunteers filling core roles: cataloging and shelving books, providing information to library users, hosting children's story times, checking books in and out, marketing, communications, fundraising, outreach, facilities maintenance and more. The system has 360 dedicated volunteers. About 2,500 patrons check out items from the libraries each month, and 1,700 patrons use the public Internet computers. The system also has special programs for children: First Steps for toddlers, K-9 Reading Buddies for young readers, story times and the Summer Reading Program. It also has the Expanding Opportunities Program, which provides deeper access to library resources and community partners, helping people improve their prospects in education, employment and entrepreneurship.

Even if no one is putting up any cash, that shows an outstanding commitment to library service by the community. I worry of course that celebrating volunteer-run public libraries gives legitimacy to the idea that we don't need to pay for them at all. But we can't ignore the fact that volunteer libraries exist. If we want people to fund libraries because publicly-funded libraries are better (for whatever reason), the burden is on us to prove it.

Governor's Volunteer Award Winner, Josephine Community Libraries In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: I grew up in Josephine County in the 50s and 60s when timber revenues funded a wonderful library, where I spent much of my childhood. Because of the shameful lack of funding for public services in Josephine County, I have come to see the Josephine Community Library as somewhat heroic. I too hope that this award doesn't give anyone the idea that this is an ideal way to run a library, but I am glad that the town in which I grew up has a library again, for the sake of its children. *Jane Salisbury* Supervisor, Library Outreach Services Multnomah County Library 205 NE Russell Portland, OR 97212 Phone: 503.988.4081 Website: www.multcolib.org *janesa at multcolib.org * www.multcolib.org On Tue, Apr 1, 2014 at 2:00 PM, Caleb TUCKER-RAYMOND wrote: > MaryKay thanks for starting a discussion. > > 360 volunteers - wow!

Governor's Volunteer Award Winner, Josephine Community Libraries In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hi MaryKay et. al., Gosh...I've got really mixed feelings about this. Ever since I moved to Southern Oregon the libraries in Josephine County have struggled. I believe that Roy Masters had a great deal of influence in the county and was against raising taxes. See this article for some background: http://web.thedailycourier.com/eedition/2010/04/01/Progress/3.pdf. I imagine there are some that will conclude that you can run libraries with volunteers only but most of us know better than that. I fervently hope that Kate Lasky and all her volunteers are successful in passing a library levy. They have certainly worked hard to bring library services to the county and I celebrate their efforts.

Hi Everyone: Some librarians who work with the Latino and Spanish speaking community in Oregon have showed interest in creating a new REFORMA chapter in our state. We will meet in the main lobby of the Salem Convention Center (where the OLA conference will take place) on Thursday 17 or Friday 18 (it depends on the date chosen by the majority of those interested -check the link for the Doodle poll) and have an informal meeting during lunch time. For those of you that are not familiar with REFORMA, you can visit their link at: http://www.reforma.org/ Please, select the date that you can make it.

Rep.

We are disappointed by the House Budget Committee's outright dismissal of IMLS, the agency that administers the primary source of federal funding to libraries.

More than $180 million has been appropriated to the Institute for Museum and Library Services through September 2014 to help libraries make information and services available to the citizens they serve. In Rep. Ryan's own state of Wisconsin, more than 65 percent of libraries report that they are the only free access point to Internet in their communities. Just a few blocks from Rep. Ryan's Wisconsin office, more than 716,000 visitors used the Hedberg Public Library in Janesville, Wisconsin to access library computers and research databases, check out books and receive job training in 2013.

As the director of school library programs for the New York City Department of Education, I witnessed the ways in which the IMLS-supported programs helped young students learn and discover new information. In recent years, IMLS provided professional training for New York City school librarians, who used their training they received to change the lives of children with limited access to books and technology.

Ryan's budget (pdf): "We were shocked to learn that Representative Paul Ryan recommended eliminating IMLS, the agency that promotes library services for the American public. We are disappointed by the House Budget Committee's outright dismissal of IMLS, the agency that administers the primary source of federal funding to libraries. Libraries depend on the support they receive from IMLS to help patrons learn new skills, find job opportunities and access reading materials that they otherwise could not afford. More than $180 million has been appropriated to the Institute for Museum and Library Services through September 2014 to help libraries make information and services available to the citizens they serve. In Rep. Ryan's own state of Wisconsin, more than 65 percent of libraries report that they are the only free access point to Internet in their communities. Just a few blocks from Rep. Ryan's Wisconsin office, more than 716,000 visitors used the Hedberg Public Library in Janesville, Wisconsin to access library computers and research databases, check out books and receive job training in 2013. The Institute of Museum and Library Services administered more than $2.8 million in the 2014 fiscal year to help Wisconsin libraries prepare young students for school and provide lifelong learning opportunities for all Wisconsin residents. For example, the state reported that more than 215,000 children participated in summer reading programs at Wisconsin public libraries. IMLS provides invaluable professional development opportunities to librarians across the country. As the director of school library programs for the New York City Department of Education, I witnessed the ways in which the IMLS-supported programs helped young students learn and discover new information. In recent years, IMLS provided professional training for New York City school librarians, who used their training they received to change the lives of children with limited access to books and technology. Furthermore, the Institute has been a vital component in facilitating collaboration between federal agencies that relate to library services, such as the Department of Education, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Federal Communication Commission and the Government Printing Office, among others. For example, the Institute has been instrumental in working with the U.S. Department of Labor so that libraries can be considered additional One-Stop partners for job-seekers. Library funding support from the Institute for Museum and Library Services wields large returns in the form of literate and civically engaged communities. We hope that Congress will support the important role that the Institute for Museum and Library Services plays in supporting educated communities by rejecting the House Budget resolution." ### About the American Library Association The American Library Association is the oldest and largest library association in the world, with approximately 57,000 members in academic, public, school, government, and special libraries. The mission of the American Library Association is to provide leadership for the development, promotion and improvement of library and information services and the profession of librarianship in order to enhance learning and ensure access to information for all. -- Suzanne L.

Main Findings: America?s seniors have historically been late adopters to the world of technology compared to their younger compatriots, but their movement into digital life continues to deepen, according to newly released data from the Pew Research Center. In this report, we take advantage of a particularly large survey to conduct a unique exploration not only of technology use between Americans ages 65 or older and the rest of the population, but within the senior population as well. Two different groups of older Americans emerge. The first group (which leans toward younger, more highly educated, or more affluent seniors) has relatively substantial technology assets, and also has a positive view toward the benefits of online platforms. The other (which tends to be older and less affluent, often with significant challenges with health or disability) is largely disconnected from the world of digital tools and services, both physically and psychologically. As the internet plays an increasingly central role in connecting Americans of all ages to news and information, government services, health resources, and opportunities for social support, these divisions are noteworthy?particularly for the many organizations and individual caregivers who serve the older adult population.

Today, three quarters of seniors have a cell phone, six in ten use the internet, and almost half have broadband at home. Those still trail the national average, but they have been steadily increasing since we began tracking these metrics way back in 2000. But we also found that the senior population is far from homogeneous?there are two distinct ?camps? within the older adult population when it comes to technology use: 1) The first group of seniors is fairly plugged in?they own a fair number of technology assets, have integrated these tools into their lives, and view that connectivity as a positive thing. This group is relatively young, educated, affluent. 2) The other camp is largely disconnected from the digital world. They don?t use technology to any great degree, they would not feel comfortable learning how on their own, and in many cases they don?t feel like they are missing out on too much. This group is both older and less affluent, and they often have significant health or disability issues that make it challenging for them to use technology.

The best restaurants? The best soccer team? Now, the argument has been given another layer: Who has the best public library? While the typical questions have long been debated between residents of the Rose City and the Emerald City, the Multnomah County Public Library will be taking on the Seattle Public Library in a battle of literacy. On Thursday, Apr. 3, fans from both cities will be able to tweet their respective libraries about book suggestions. Users will be asked to tweet their library with the title of a book they enjoyed, and ask for a similar book as a recommendation. At the end of the contest, the library that responds to the most requests, aka, scores a goal, will win. The losing side will have to create a display in their library of the winning team's city, don the colors of their rivals, with a photo of it all being posted to Facebook to prove they have paid their debt. Here's some soccer book ideas to get the ideas flowing. Begin your warmups now! Soccer in Sun and Shadow - by Eduardo Galeano Soccer Against The Enemy - by Simon Kuper Inverting the Pyramid: The History of Football Tactics - by Jonathan Wilson The 1975 Portland Timbers: The Birth of Soccer City, USA - by Michael Orr And that's just a start. Both libraries hope the contest will not only allow fans to compete against one another, but encourage reading and membership to available titles suggested. The contest starts at 4:30 p.m. PT and lasts for 90 minutes, running until 6 p.m. Portland fans should post their queries to the Multnomah County Library on Twitter with @MultCoLib using the hashtags #bookmatch and #PDXreads while Seattle will use #SEAreads.

Message-ID: <79182DEA2A9EBD459F20AD5CB90FEAA528B71ED364@Exchange.orcity.org> Hi all you conference go-ers out there: I know how it is. You've already been at the conference for one whole day or even just several hours, and Friday afternoon rolls around. You are basking in the glow of seeing your colleagues acknowledged by peers at the Awards Luncheon. The sun is shining, you're ready for a nap, and suddenly leaving early to beat the traffic sounds like a really good idea. DON'T DO IT! Make sure you have the full conference experience by sticking around for the Friday afternoon sessions. There are so many good ones. However, you know I have an ulterior motive and am writing to promote one particular session. Hey, we all need help making decisions, right? Take a look at this: Friday, 2:15 Maker Spaces: Make My Day or Break My Space? Description: Everyone is talking about maker spaces but what makes a successful maker space? How do libraries know what tools and materials to purchase? What are the problems libraries have encountered? Hear from libraries who have implemented maker spaces and learn about what works, what doesn't work, and how to avoid expensive and time consuming pitfalls in the new and exciting area of maker spaces. Presenters: Mo Cole, Oregon City Public Library; Mark Richardson, Cedar Mill Community Library; Margaret Mellinger, Oregon State University Libraries; Todd Feinman, Lake Oswego Public Library Sponsor: PLD/LTRT I just spoke with the panelists today and we are so excited to engage with you on this topic! AND we'll have a 3D printer there for you to see in action! So, please, get this on your session line-up calendar. We look forward to seeing you there, and remember, even if you don't stay for our session, stick around on Friday afternoon-it's well worth it!

CFP: Virtual Reference in Modern Libraries: Innovative Methods for User Interaction http://www.igi-global.com/publish/call-for-papers/call-details/1194 Editors Sonnet Ireland (University of New Orleans, USA) Call for Chapters Proposals Submission Deadline: April 30, 2014 Full Chapters Due: May 30, 2014 Introduction For release in the Advances in Library and Information Science (ALIS) Book Series The ALIS Book Series aims to expand the body of library science literature by covering a wide range of topics affecting the profession and field at large. The series also seeks to provide readers with an essential resource for uncovering the latest research in library and information science management, development, and technologies. With budget cuts and doubts about the necessity of the roles librarians play, it may seem as if we haven't any time to explore new ways to interact with our users. In fact, the opposite is true. Many librarians are taking their limitations and turning them into innovations. This surge in creativity needs to be shared across the profession so that other libraries and librarians can benefit. Objective This book will explore innovative methods for reaching and interacting with users, especially in terms of virtual reference. The chapters in this book will focus on various types of virtual reference that libraries have adopted in recent years. It will also look at ways librarians are virtually interacting with their users and be written for librarians who want to learn techniques that can be applied at their own libraries and enhance their own users' experiences. Target Audience The target audience of this book will be composed of professionals and researchers working in the field of information and knowledge management in various aspects of librarianship, e.g., reference, public services, instruction, and technology. Moreover, the book will provide insights and support to librarians who wish to develop these skills in their own careers. Recommended Topics ? Virtual Reference Programs ? Social Media ? SMS Reference ? Chat Reference ? Virtual Information Needs ? Email Reference ? Reference Interactions via Mobile Device Submission Procedure Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before April 30, 2014 a 2-3 page chapter proposal clearly explaining the mission and concerns of his or her proposed chapter. Submissions should be made through the link at the bottom of this page. Authors of accepted proposals will be notified by May 1, 2014about the status of their proposals and sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by May 30, 2014. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis. Contributors may also be requested to serve as reviewers for this project. Publisher This book is scheduled to be published by IGI Global (formerly Idea Group Inc.), publisher of the "Information Science Reference" (formerly Idea Group Reference), "Medical Information Science Reference," "Business Science Reference," and "Engineering Science Reference" imprints.

You are also invited to provide comments for the public record. Comments received by Monday, April 24, will be published on the agency?s website. Send comments to comments at imls.gov. IMLS Director Susan H. Hildreth will chair the hearing along with members of the National Museum and Library Services Board, including Christie Pearson Brandau, Iowa; Charles Benton, Illinois; Winston Tabb, Maryland; and Carla Hayden, Maryland, who will lead three panels during the hearing: * The Vision: What happens when we get it right?

Two exemplary transcripts are at www.answerland.org/awards We're breaking with our practice of giving notable transcript awards to a single librarian and instead we are presenting an award to all the OHSU reference librarians. OHSU Library has been a valued partner library since the Answerland pilot project began in 2003. After a short stint staffing the chat service OHSU librarians opted to focus on what they do best - acting as trusted experts answering medical research and health information reference questions. Many of the questions that we refer to OHSU are questions from students doing research. We also know that in some cases, we receive questions from library patrons who are contacting the library because they or someone close to them has recently been diagnosed with a serious illness. In their moment of crisis, OHSU librarians are a resource for treatment information and support resources for specific medical conditions. We've seen impressive answers and we're highlighting 2 transcripts. The first transcript that we are highlighting is one in which the patron came to Answerland via email last August to ask for advice about doing a search for information on green hospitals and to ask if being a green hospital has an impact on an individual's decision to be a patient at that hospital. The Quality Team is impressed with Loree Hyde's thorough answer. She provided information that addressed both facets of the patron's question. She listed relevant subject headings and keywords to search, and added details regarding the databases she had searched. To help the patron assess if these were the types of desired, relevant resources, Loree created a short annotated bibliography and attached it to her response. When the patron asked a clarifying question, Loree not only answered the question, but provided the patron with an alternate search option and included a screen shot of what that search looked like in the relevant database. The Quality Team commends Loree for her use of authoritative sources and for providing the patron with exactly what she needed: strategies for research. Loree went above and beyond for the patron by attaching documents that indicated sources found and that demonstrated a successful search on the patron's topic. She employed a friendly tone and invited the patron to respond to the email if the patron had further questions. The second transcript that we are highlighting is one in which Jackie Wirz sent an answer to a question about the top 15-20 childhood illnesses and the top 15-20 childhood surgeries, both in the U.S. and globally. After the patron chatted with another Answerland staffer, the question was put into follow-up for an email answer. When Jackie picked up the question in email follow up, she collaborated with other OHSU librarians to research the question. In the answer sent, Jackie confirmed that two of the sources that had been provided in chat were the most comprehensive information sources for this query. She explained to the patron why it was not possible to find a single source with the data that the patron needed. Jackie then provided several links to specific pages at the Centers for Disease Control and the Data Resource Center for Child and Adolescent Health, and pointed out the limitations of each source. She greeted the patron and concluded the email in a friendly manner. As an expression of our appreciation, OHSU librarians were presented with flowers and a certificate. Please join us in congratulating them! The Answerland Quality Team Stephanie Debner, Mt.

I?m doing a pretty big weed of my medical/health section for content right now -- we?ve already weeded for circ, and now I?m going back through and getting rid of stuff that?s outdated or superseded. I?m finding that a lot of our dieting books and herbal/alternative medicine books are quite old (10+ years) but still circulate heavily, and I?m not entirely sure what the best course of action is. In some cases there are newer editions, so I?m purchasing those, but a lot of them are just plain old. Should I just assume a fad diet book from ten or more years ago may no longer contain the most relevant nutritional information and discard it, even if it?s still popular? Does anyone have any tips on evaluating herbal remedy resources or other alternative health books (acupressure, "energy work," etc.)? For any herb books, I usually check the entries on some of the herbs I know have recently-discovered contraindications to see if that information is included (for example, does the book mention that St. John's Wort interferes with hormonal birth control?) but for less scientifically based works I'm not sure how to best evaluate. I work at a public library and thus our collection is primarily popular materials, no real research or concerns about historical relevance.

OLA leaders have recorded testimonial videos that will provide you with all the inspiration you need. Check out the short trailer at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9ImSLWf6tc and all the videos at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxi7mWLzPQIzw1-tU2YtbYQ/videos 2 - It's easy to get active in OLA. At the OLA Annual Conference, a panel of OLA leaders will share with you exactly how easy it is and the benefits of involvement. Hear all about it at "The Inside Out Organization: OLA" (Thursday, April 17, 4:00pm-5:30pm) 3 - Want ads We've got some volunteer positions that need be filled listed at http://www.olaweb.org/seeking-volunteers. Or just contact the Chair of the OLA unit that interests you. That Chair will be grateful for your help and will find a role for you. Contact info for each group is at http://www.olaweb.org/ola-units. Like I said in #2, it's easy! 4 - Learn from my mistake. I had an interest in getting involved with OLA for years before I actually did so. One of the things that kept me from participating is that I felt unsure of how to make a contribution and how to take that first step. I'm so glad that I did take that step. I found out how rewarding the experience can be. And what warm, kind, colleagues are available to support me. Don't make the same mistake that I did and dawdle about when you could be having the time of your life. And once you take the step to get involved you'll be surprised and amazed by what happens next. You'll meet friendly, kindhearted, supportive colleagues. You'll build new skills. You'll feel the gratification that comes with making a contribution. You'll have fun. You won't look back. You'll wonder, "why did I wait so long?" Oh, and there's a 5th thing you should know. As crazy amazing awesome as OLA is already, it will be more so once you get involved.

In response to the FCC's March Public Notice, the ALA seeks to leverage existing high-speed, scalable networks to increase library broadband speeds, improve area networks and further explore cost efficiencies that could be enabled through new consortium approaches. *ALA proposes:* - Supporting school-library wide-area network partnerships to better leverage local E-rate investments and support community use of high-capacity connections during non-school hours; - Providing short-term funding focused on deployment where libraries are in close proximity to providers that can ensure scalable broadband at affordable construction charges and recurring costs over time; and - Advancing cost-efficient library network development with new diagnostic and technical support provided at the state level. "ALA welcomes this new $2 billion investment to support broadband networks in our nations' libraries and schools so we may meet growing community demand for services ranging from interactive online learning to videoconferencing to downloading and streaming increasingly digital collections," said ALA President Barbara Stripling. "This infusion can provide 'two-for-one' benefits by advancing library broadband to and within our buildings immediately and continuing to improve the E-rate program in the near future."

I wanted to share a FREE resource I created about supporting and starting adult literacy programs in public libraries: http://salipl.org. This website includes information on why public libraries are perfect for supporting adult literacy, success stories from libraries that have implemented programs and information about working with adult learners. In the "Program Toolkit" portion of the website, there is an outline of all the steps involved in connecting with Adult Literacy programs in your area, building a literacy collection, finding potential tutors, setting up tutor training, advertising for learners, doing assessments, learner placement, tutoring session logistics and keeping track of learners and tutors. I've also compiled all of this information into an eBook (also free) in pdf format that is available on the main page. The site has example presentations that you can adapt for potential tutors and other stakeholders as well as templates for just about all the paperwork you could possibly need dealing with assessments, placement and tracking. I was able to make these all readily available thanks to the generous people at Washtenaw Literacy. There is a growing FAQ section and everyone is welcome to send me questions through the site that I will be happy to answer. Also, if your library does programming with adult literacy, please contact me and I will add your library's information to the site! Salipl.org also has a facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/saliplibraries I'm hoping we can develop this into a place for further dialogue about what we can do to help the 30 million adults struggling to read in this country.

If you appreciate the critical roles that libraries play in creating an informed and engaged citizenry, register now for this year's National Library Legislative Day(NLLD), a two-day advocacy event where hundreds of library supporters, leaders and patrons will meet with their legislators to advocate for library funding. National Library Legislative Day, which is hosted by the American Library Association (ALA), will be held May 5-6, 2014, in Washington, D.C. Now in its 40th year, National Library Legislative Day focuses on the need to fund the Library Services and Technology Act, support legislation that gives people who use libraries access to federally-funded scholarly journal articles and continue funding that provides school libraries with vital materials. As part of the event, participants will receive training and briefings to prepare them for meetings with their members of Congress. Participants who register for National Library Legislative Day will connect with their state's coordinator, who then arranges the meetings with legislators, communicates with the ALA Washington Office and serves as the contact person for the state delegation. *Advocate from Home* Advocates who cannot travel to Washington for National Library Legislative Day can still make a difference and speak up for libraries. As an alternative, the American Library Association sponsors Virtual Library Legislative Day, which takes place on May 6, 2014. To participate in Virtual Library Legislative Day, register now for American Library Association policy action alerts . For the next month, the ALA Washington will share National Library Legislative Day resources on the District Dispatch. Keep up with the conversation by using the hashtag #nlld14 . -- Suzanne L.

This publication briefly presents trends in out-of-pocket net price for college, the amount that students and their families must pay to attend college after subtracting grants, loans, work-study, and all other student aid from the total price of attendance. It also presents out-of-pocket net price by income levels for the most recent data available (2011-12). For comparability, findings are presented for undergraduates attending full time for a full year. Key findings include: * Despite an increase in grant and loan aid between 1999-2000 and 2011-12, out-of-pocket expenses also increased during this period except at for-profit institutions. * In 2011-12, out-of-pocket net price averaged $9,900 for public 2-year institutions, $11,800 for public 4-year institutions, $18,100 for private nonprofit 4-year institutions, and $15,000 for all for-profit institutions. * By income levels in 2011-12, out-of-pocket net price ranged from $8,500 among dependent undergraduates in the lowest income quartile to $19,700 for their counterparts in the highest income quartile (dependent students are under age 24 and financially dependent on parents). This Data Point uses data from four administrations of the National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS:2000, NPSAS:04, NPSAS:08, and NPSAS:12) to briefly present trends in out-of-pocket net price for college. This Data Point is a product of the National Center for Education Statistics at the Institute of Education Sciences, part of the U.S. Department of Education.

Google, *case where actress Cindy Sue Garcia sued Google for not removing a YouTube video in which she appears. Garcia appears for five seconds in ?Innocence of Muslims,? the radical anti-Islamic video that fueled the attack on the American embassy in Benghazi. The video was uploaded on YouTube, exposing Garcia to threats and hate mail. Garcia did not know that her five second performance would be used in a controversial video. Garcia turned to the copyright law for redress, arguing that her five second performance was protected by copyright, and therefore, as a rights holder she could ask that the video be removed from YouTube. While we empathize with Garcia?s situation, the copyright law does not protect performances in film?instead these performances are works-for-hire. This ruling, if taken to its extreme, would hold that anyone who worked on a film?from the editor to the gaffer?could claim rights, creating a copyrightpermissions nightmare. On appeal, the judge agreed that the copyright argument was weak, but nonetheless ruled for Garcia. The video currently is not available for public review. This decision needs to be reheard *en banc*?the copyright ruling is mistaken, and perhaps more importantly, the copyright law cannot be used to restrain speech. While the facts of this case are not at all appealing, we agree that rules of law need to be upheld. Fundamental values of librarianship?including intellectual freedom, fair use, and preservation of the cultural record?are in serious conflict with the existing court ruling.

The focus of the meeting, which is the first of three to be held nationwide, is the national digital platform. IMLS invites broad participation via a live webcast, accessible here, and library professionals and the public are encouraged to participate through social media using the Twitter hashtag #imlsfocus. Seating at the event is extremely limited. IMLS supports the work of libraries to meet the nation?s growing demands for digital content. A key strategic priority of IMLS is to promote access to digitized collections to facilitate discovery of knowledge and cultural heritage. An analysis of IMLS grants to states program finds that states have used more than $1 billion in IMLS funding to support a wide range of digital investments, including massive digitization, repositories, and data aggregation; data residencies and skills training; self-publishing initiatives; providing access to e-books and developing digital tools. At the convening library and archive leaders will discuss key needs, gaps, opportunities, and goals to consider in furthering national digital initiatives. An agenda is available on the IMLS website. Specifically the discussion will cover: * Infrastructure: Examining the Hubs Model * Content * Use: Challenge and opportunities to broad use * Tool: Encouraging Innovation * Access at Scale * Skills Among the speakers are: * Anthony Marx, President and CEO, New York Public Library, * David Ferriero, Archivist of the United States, Dan Cohen, Executive Director, Digital Public Library of America, * Sari Feldman, Executive Director, Cuyahoga County Public Libraries, * Clifford Lynch, Director of the Coalition for Networked Information * Rachel Frick, Director, Digital Library Federation * Josh Greenberg, Program Director for Digital Information Technology, Alfred P. Sloan Foundation * Brett Bobley, Chief Information Officer, National Endowment for the Humanities * Elliott Shore, Executive Director, Association of Research Libraries The next two meetings will be on May 15 on learning spaces in libraries at the San Francisco Public Library and on June 5 on STEM learning at the Chicago Public Library. IMLS will release a revised National Leadership Grant application this summer that will reflect the priorities identified during these meetings.

[IMLS logo] April 4, 2014 Dear Colleague, On behalf of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), I invite you to a public hearing, ?Libraries and Broadband: Urgency and Impact.? Federal Communications Commission Chairman Thomas Wheeler will make opening remarks, and expert panelists from across the library, technology, and public policy spectrum will explore the issue of high-speed broadband in America?s libraries. The hearing will take place on Thursday, April 17, 2014 from 9:30 a.m. ? 12:00 p.m. at the Martin Luther King Memorial Library, 901 G St. NW, Washington, DC 20001. The hearing will be live streamed on YouTube and Google+. IMLS is charged with advising the President and Congress about the library, museum, and information service needs of the American public. As the FCC embarks on efforts to modernize the e-rate program, IMLS is conducting this hearing to establish a public record on the need for and impact of high-speed broadband connectivity in America?s libraries and to document forward-looking strategies to improve broadband connectivity. You are also invited to provide comments for the public record. Comments received by Monday, April 24, will be published on the agency?s website. Send comments to comments at imls.gov. IMLS Director Susan H. Hildreth will chair the hearing along with members of the National Museum and Library Services Board, including Christie Pearson Brandau, Iowa; Charles Benton, Illinois; Winston Tabb, Maryland; and Carla Hayden, Maryland, who will lead three panels during the hearing: * The Vision: What happens when we get it right? This panel will explore innovative practices and partnerships and new strategies that have the potential to serve individuals and communities well. * The Data: Panelists will explore what we know about broadband connections and services in America?s libraries. * Moving Forward: During this section, we will explore solutions for connectivity in libraries. In addition to Thomas Wheeler, speakers and panelists will include Reed Hundt, former Chairman of the FCC; Clarence Anthony, Executive Director of the National League of Cities; Chris Jowaisas, Senior Program Officer at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and many others.

URL: From reading at librifoundation.org Mon Apr 21 14:53:05 2014 From: reading at librifoundation.org (The Libri Foundation) Date: Mon, 21 Apr 2014 14:53:05 -0700 Subject: [Libs-Or] Grant Opportunity for Rural Public Libraries In-Reply-To: <535592DE.5050107@librifoundation.org> References: <535592DE.5050107@librifoundation.org> Message-ID: <53559341.8020900@librifoundation.org> April 2014 The Libri Foundation is currently accepting applications for its 2014 BOOKS FOR CHILDREN grants. The Libri Foundation is a nationwide non-profit organization which donates new, quality, hardcover children's books to small, rural public libraries throughout the United States. Since October 1990, the Foundation has donated over $5,800,000 worth of new children's books to more than 3,300 libraries in all 50 states. In order to encourage and reward local support of libraries, The Libri Foundation will match any amount of money raised by your local sponsors from $200 to $350 on a 2-to-1 ratio. Thus, a library can receive up to $1,050 worth of new children's books. After a library receives a grant, local sponsors (such as formal or informal Friends groups, civic or social organizations, local businesses, etc.) have four months, or longer if necessary, to raise their matching funds. The librarian of each participating library selects the books her library will receive from a booklist provided by the Foundation. The 600-plus fiction and nonfiction titles on the booklist reflect the very best of children's literature published primarily in the last three years. These titles, which are for children ages 12 and under, are award-winners or have received starred reviews in library, literary, or education journals. The booklist also includes a selection of classic children's titles. Libraries are qualified on an individual basis. In general, county libraries should serve a population under 16,000 and town libraries should serve a population under 10,000 (usually under 5,000). Libraries should be in a rural area, have a limited operating budget, and an active children's department. Please note: Rural is usually considered to be at least 30 miles from a city with a population over 40,000. Town libraries with total operating budgets over $150,000 and county libraries with total operating budgets over $450,000 are rarely given grants. Applications are accepted from independent libraries as well as libraries which are part of a county, regional, or cooperative library system. A school library may apply only if it also serves as the public library (i.e. it is open to the everyone in the community, has some summer hours, and there is no public library in town). A branch library may apply if the community it is in meets the definition of rural. If the branch library receives its funding from its parent institution, then the parent institution's total operating budget, not just the branch library's total operating budget, must meet the budget guidelines. A library that received a BOOKS FOR CHILDREN grant in 2011 or earlier is eligible to apply if it fulfilled all the grant requirements, including sending in its final report. Application deadlines for 2014 are: (postmarked by) May 15th and August 15th. Grants are awarded May 31st and August 31st. The names of grant recipients will be posted on the Foundation's website a few days after grants are awarded. Acceptance packets are usually mailed 14-18 days after grants are awarded. Please DO NOT waste money sending your application by Express Mail or Certified Mail. The application deadline is based on postmark date, not arrival date. Application guidelines and forms may be downloaded from the Foundation's website at: www.librifoundation.org.

Message-ID: Please pardon cross-posting. Dear Oregon Libraries, I am very happy to now be free to announce the winners of the 2014 Teen Video Challenge! Oregon is one of 26 states with a winning video representing us at the national level. It was a tough call, but the team from Cedar Mill is representing Oregon again for the 2nd year in a row! Attached please find the official press release for the 2014 Teen Video Challenge winners. And most of all, please do go to the CSLP website to view the amazing, funny, smart work of teens across the country: http://www.cslpreads.org/programs/young-adult-program/teen-video-challenge/2014-teen-video-winners.html Anyone can use any of these videos to promote Teen Summer Reading this year. As the good folks at CSLP say, "View and share these videos, link to them from your library webpage, post them to social networks, and use them to get the word out to teens." The screening of these videos has been one of the best things for me at the CSLP Annual Meeting, which it has been my privilege to attend as your OYAN CSLP Liaison for the past two years. Now that you see how fabulous it is, do you want to stand for election for this exciting office? Think about it. Next year's meeting is in Newport, RI, and OYAN pays your way! It's pretty incredible, and I'm happy to stand for another 2-year term, but I don't want to hog all the goodies for myself. Look for the announcement of the 2015 Teen Video Challenge after the 2014 CSLP Survey goes out in the Fall. Next year's theme is Heroes, with the teen slogan of "Unmask!"

Term clusters, or visual search results, organize results based on frequently recurring terms and allow users to discover hidden connections. Term clusters can be used to expand or narrow a topic, identify new topics of interest, guide research structure, and more. After doing a search in PowerSearch, Academic OneFile, InfoTrac Student, Informe, and other InfoTrac databases, you will see ?Term Clusters? under ?Analyze? in the column on the left. Click on that to see a visual representation of related topics. Or, start a search by first clicking on ?Term Clusters? in the orange toolbar at the top of the database page. For an example, see the attachment. To learn more about how to use term clusters and for a complete list of which Gale databases include the tool, refer to this tip sheet. The help section of the InfoTrac databases, under ?Ways You Can Search,? also offers an explanation. http://assets.cengage.com/training/TermClusters_TipSheet.pdf Please let folks know.

We are seeking people who are currently employed as young adult librarians in public libraries. In particular, we are seeking participants who are working with social media as professional librarians. We are seeking participants who would be willing to participate in a research survey or interview. The purpose of this study is to better understand how young adult librarians interact with young adult patrons through their library's social media profiles.

Cover Oregon E-Blast Header] One week left to apply through Cover Oregon One Week Left to Apply for Health Insurance Through Cover Oregon Deadline to Submit Applications is April 30 Durham, Ore. - Oregonians have one week left to apply for health insurance through Cover Oregon to avoid a potential federal tax penalty for not having health insurance. Applications must be submitted to Cover Oregon with a postmark no later than Wednesday, April 30. After April 30, people who want to purchase private health insurance have to wait until Jan. 1, 2015 for coverage. People who have certain changes in their lives may be able to purchase insurance before then. Those eligible for the Oregon Health Plan (OHP) can enroll year-round, though they may be subject to the federal tax penalty if they don't apply by April 30. "More than 240,000 Oregonians have enrolled in health insurance through Cover Oregon," said Amy Fauver, Chief Communications Officer for Cover Oregon. "We want to be sure people know that they can get covered, and that they should apply as soon as possible in order to avoid a last-minute rush." Nearly 80 percent of people who have enrolled in private plans have gotten some sort of financial help in the form of tax credits or cost-sharing assistance. A family of four earning up to $94,200 may qualify for financial help, and a family of four earning up to $32,928 may qualify for no-cost coverage through OHP. If people are not sure what they might be eligible for, they can visit CoverOregon.com to browse plans. There are several ways Oregonians can apply for health insurance through Cover Oregon: * Make an appointment with a certified insurance agent or community partner who can help you enroll in a plan free of charge, and in one sitting. * Fill out an online PDF application and submit it to Cover Oregon electronically, or by fax or mail (application must be postmarked by April 30). * Attend an enrollment event hosted by a community partner in your area. People may qualify for an exemption from the requirement to have health insurance and a list of these exemptions can be found here. The next open enrollment period through Cover Oregon begins Nov. 15, 2014 for coverage starting no sooner than Jan. 1, 2015. If people have questions, they can visit CoverOregon.com or call the Cover Oregon Service Center at 1-855-CoverOR (1-855-268-3767) Mon.-Fri. from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., and Sat.-Sun. from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Cover Oregon created a short video that explains how people can apply for health insurance.

Why a report from the OLA Conference? In case you haven't heard, we aren't having our usual SSD conference in July this year, so we sponsored some sessions at the OLA conference, which just happened mid-April. http://ola-ssd.blogspot.com/2014/03/no-gateways-conference-this-year.html On a related note, we are looking for conference committee members for next year and board members for right now. You can see what we have available on our blog home page: http://ola-ssd.blogspot.com/ further down the page on the right side. If you are curious about any of the positions, don't hesitate to shoot us an email at olassd at gmail.com. Here is a scholarship opportunity for Interlibrary Loan people to attend the NWILL Conference. They have a number of $500 scholarships available: http://ola-ssd.blogspot.com/2014/04/interlibrary-loan-scholarship.html And here are some fun things happening in libraries both in Oregon and around the world: http://ola-ssd.blogspot.com/2014/04/secret-messages-found-in-library.html http://ola-ssd.blogspot.com/2014/04/cool-things-going-on-in-library-world.html(This has a link to the March edition of Associates, which has a neat article about the New York Public Library equivalent of our Support Staff Division.)

Attend this special Choose Privacy Week webinar to learn more about how online surveillance works, get practical tips on improving privacy on public computers, and gain a better understanding of current legal threats to digital privacy and online anonymity.

Used well, it can offered points for discussion, nudged thinking about what and why and comparison to that. It often made for good conversation and could reach the affective domain when other approaches did not. But when we moved to eLearning we left a lot of that behind: the video clips were uploaded, but the rest of that experience - the talking and processing - didn't make the transition. With so many new avenues for delivering video online it's a shame that we're not doing a better job of capturing the things a good instructor in a good face-to-face setting can bring.

Conducting a blended learning needs assessment (InSync Training) As your organization starts to implement blended learning, conducting a thorough needs assessment becomes perhaps even more important than ever before. Blended learning requires investments in technology and training for your development and facilitation teams. Mistakes can be expensive, and may not be uncovered until after your program has been piloted. Because of these costs, organizations can't rely on proven assumptions about participants, training environments, or content. It's best to begin all of your analysis from scratch to make sure you get it right the first time.

The collaborative, project-focused, and technologically-oriented nature of the field means that information professionals often work alongside scholar-researchers and students.

We numbered each loose item and put the corresponding number on the page where the item had been found and put all the items into a large pocket at the back of the book.

You are also invited to provide comments for the public record. Comments received by Monday, April 24, will be published on the agency?s website. Send comments to comments at imls.gov.

Hildreth will chair the hearing along with members of the National Museum and Library Services Board, including Christie Pearson Brandau, Iowa; Charles Benton, Illinois; Winston Tabb, Maryland; and Carla Hayden, Maryland, who will lead three panels during the hearing: * The Vision: What happens when we get it right? This panel will explore innovative practices and partnerships and new strategies that have the potential to serve individuals and communities well. * The Data: Panelists will explore what we know about broadband connections and services in America?s libraries. * Moving Forward: During this section, we will explore solutions for connectivity in libraries. In addition to Thomas Wheeler, speakers and panelists will include Reed Hundt, former Chairman of the FCC; Clarence Anthony, Executive Director of the National League of Cities; Chris Jowaisas, Senior Program Officer at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and many others.

I love that the copy I borrowed from the library had its own property stamp layered over the faux property stamps from the fictional university and local school library referenced in the novel. As a library book, the item seems destined to a popular run which will lose some of its function with circulation. (Perhaps it will pick up new annotations as well as the ones printed on the page? :) Regarding inserts and what not, the good news is (for something co-produced by none other than JJ Abrams) the fans will come to the rescue of the library patron. Plus, the publishers have done a lot to make it accessible in unexpected ways. If something is out of order, there are full lists of every insert and their original page locations on the web (just one of several reliable inventories I found just now): http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1589916-insert-inventory If you wonder what it looked like new, you can review someone's "unboxing" of the book, if you want to replicate the experience lost due to the library processing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InC6jjUjZq8 (NOTE: there are spoilers in this video if you haven't read it yet - beware.) Or, if you have to return the book too soon, and find that you want to know the story of the novel layered under all the other stuff, you can listen to the novel on audio (!? loses something in the translation, but it sounds wonderful spoken aloud): http://hachettebookgroup.com/titles/vm-straka/ship-of-theseus/9781478928225/ It's a lot to take in - some people will pass, but those that take the journey will be nothing but intrigued and amazed.
