State University (SJSU), dating back to 1928. Since that time, the school has evolved to keep pace with ongoing growth in the information professions, expanding course offerings and adding new degree and certificate programs. As of August 1, 2014, the SJSU School of Library and Information Science will be known as the SJSU School of Information. ?We are excited to introduce a new name for the school that is more inclusive of all our educational programs and reflects the diverse career opportunities our graduates will have in the information professions,? said Dr. Sandra Hirsh, director of the SJSU School of Information. While the school?s name is changing, the names of graduate degrees offered by the school are not changing. The SJSU School of Information continues to offer a Master ?s degree in Library and Information Science (MLIS) and a Master ?s degree in Archives and Records Administration (MARA). ?Although the word ?library? no longer appears in the school?s name, librarianship remains an integral part of our school?s mission ,? said Hirsh. Indeed, the school?s MLIS degree recently received full reaccreditation through 2021 from the American Library Association, and many MLIS program graduates pursue careers in libraries and other types of information centers. The SJSU School of Information began offering a Master?s degree in Library Science in 1954, and the degree name was updated to an MLIS in 1994 to better reflect the breadth and depth of courses offered. In 2008, the school added the MARA program, its second graduate degree program. The school also offers the San Jos? Gateway PhD program in partnership with Queensland University of Technology. In addition, the school offers professional development and continuing education opportunities through its Post-Master ?s Certificate in Library and Information Science program, i.School Open Classes program, and through free, not-for-credit massive open online courses (MOOCs ), such as this fall?s The Emerging Future: Technology Issues and Trends . Whether students are interested in a career in librarianship or other information fields, they will find courses they need taught by award-winning faculty at the SJSU School of Information. The school?s graduates pursue a broad range of careers, such as information governance, data visualization, digital asset management, information architecture, user experience design, and management of corporate records centers. The SJSU School of Information?s full-time faculty members discussed options for a new school name and voted on the name change during a May 2013 faculty retreat. In fall 2013, SJSU committees reviewed the name change request, which was officially approved by the SJSU provost in January 2014. The new school name is being introduced in August, coinciding with the start of the 2014/2015 academic year. About The San Jose State University (SJSU) School of Information prepares individuals for careers in the information professions. Graduates work in diverse areas, such as information governance, user experience design, digital asset management, information architecture, electronic records management, and librarianship. The SJSU School of Information offers several online educational programs , including a Master's degree in Library and Information Science, which is fully accredited by the American Library Association; a Master's degree in Archives and Records Administration; and a Post-Master's Certificate in Library and Information Science. All programs are delivered online, and the SJSU School of Information is a recognized leader in online education .

During the down-time cycles in their regular work load, Oregon Department of Revenue staff are using their high speed/high volume check scanner to scan the cards. This project has provided Revenue staff the opportunity to learn more about the features of the scanner, improve their scanning skills, and tighten workflow processes. State Library staff members are thrilled to have forged such a beneficial partnership with Revenue staff. It is expected that the contents of the 460 drawers will be scanned by the end of the summer. Each card image is saved in both TIF and JPG formats. The scanner prints a file name, containing drawer number and the sequential card number, on the back of each card. The Oregon Index spans the late 1900s to the mid 1980s, and contains citations to articles published in Portland and Salem newspapers, journals, book chapters, etc. Topics cover events and issues important to the history of Oregon and state government. After scanning, Phase 2 of the project will involve making this content available to all Oregonians.

What is the Conversation Project? The Conversation Project offers Oregon nonprofit and community organizations low-cost, humanities-based public discussion programs about provocative issues and ideas. Discussions last sixty to ninety minutes and are led by trained conversation facilitators who connect the subject to participants? experiences and to the local community, and challenge participants to think in new ways without advocating a particular perspective. Why conversation? If we hope to make real strides in building just communities, we need to develop practices that help us trust one another. We need to see and understand the world from the perspectives of others. We also need to develop the communication skills required to solve deep problems. In support of these practices, Oregon Humanities developed the Conversation Project; we believe that conversation is a powerful medium to invite diverse perspectives, explore challenging questions, and strive for just communities. Why should my organization host a Conversation Project? Nonprofit and community groups have reported that hosting Conversation Projects helps them meet their own educational and community-based missions. The program accomplishes this by doing the following: Providing high-quality, affordable, and accessible public programming Offering experienced facilitation and knowledge of a topic Modeling open-minded, exploratory discussion about challenging topics Attracting diverse public audiences and engaging new individuals to the host?s work Connecting big ideas to local/regional communities and to individual experiences Inspiring continued learning and inquiry on the part of participants Apply before September 30 for Conversation Project programs taking place between November 2014 and February 2015. To read the full catalog, download an application, and watch video introductions to each program, please visit oregonhumanities.org.

[book1.png] Evangeliste, Mary & Katherine Furlong, eds. Letting Go of Legacy Services. Chicago: American Library Association, 2014 025.1 Letti. ISBN-13: 978-0838912201 The last few years have proven beyond any doubt that libraries cannot afford to coast along with the status quo. Just as important as proposing and adding new services is the sometimes unpleasant process of critically examining existing realities and letting go of obsolete or less useful programs. But instead of panicking about budgetary and staffing challenges, libraries can choose a measured, proactive response. The contributors in this practical guidebook take readers step-by-step through approaches they've used at their own institutions, offering models that can be adapted to a wide variety of settings. After reading this book library directors and administrators will have insights into: * How planned abandonment strategies grounded in assessment-based decision making can allow libraries to focus on what they do best * Common sense solutions to "pressure points" common across many different libraries, such as difficulties in dealing with data, communicating to internal and external populations, and the ordinary day-to-day pressures of running a library * The first steps towards formulating a plan of action, and ways to make evaluation of services a regular part of organizational culture * Analysis of each case study, and suggestions for further exploration Through examination of these case studies, librarians can develop a framework that helps lead to more structured thinking about what is vitally important for their own library's future. [book2.png] Henk, Mandy. Ecology, Economy, Equity: the path to a carbon-neutral library. Chicago: American Library Association, 2014. 027 Henk. ISBN-13: 978-0838912171 In the first book to seriously examine the future of libraries in a climate reality-based context, Henk convincingly argues that building a carbon-neutral future for libraries is not only essential but eminently practical. Using the "three E's" of sustainability (ecology, economy, equity) as a foundation, she traces the development of sustainability from its origins in the 1970s to the present, laying out a path librarians can take at their own institutions to begin the process of building a carbon-neutral library. Rooted in the latest science but firmly focused on concrete action, her book * Makes the case for sustainable libraries, tying the values that define the profession to the necessity of rethinking library operations and services in light of climate change * Guides readers through the first steps, with advice on starting the conversation, conducting outreach to stakeholders, and forming a sustainability committee * Includes a Sustainability Assessment and a sample sustainability plan that libraries can tailor for use at their own institution * Looks at the challenges of technology and corporate power in the library, addressing the power imbalance between large corporations and libraries and suggesting alternatives to the status quo * Discusses how libraries can combine strong advocacy with powerful activism to propel the library world into a socially just, safely powered world * Offers a bibliography of additional resources Written by an activist who is also a working librarian, the book's balance between scientific research and step-by-step action will prove stimulating for library planners, administrators, LIS students, and anyone with an interest in climate change, sustainability, and libraries.

Passing along this new resource from the IMLS: http://blog.imls.gov/?p=5044 Chances are good that someone you know has been scammed. They might not talk about it, but the statistics show attempted scamming is common. Libraries are an important source to computers and digital literacy training helping seniors connect with family, friends, health information and government services. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) works to prevent fraud and deceptive business practices. Its new initiative, Pass It On, was designed to help seniors teach their peers how to avoid scams, rip-offs, and identity theft with materials in English and Spanish that librarians can download, order in bulk, and distribute to their customers. Pass It On reinforces what older adults already know, gives them the tools to start a conversation, and asks them to pass it on. The materials are respectful of older adults, and view them as part of the solution. On the site, you?ll find: * one-page fact sheets on six issues often seen by older adults: imposter scams, identity theft, charity fraud, health care scams, paying too much, and ?you?ve won? scams; * bookmarks on all those topics, to serve as reminders of what to do; * activities to print and use; * a video to encourage people to pass it on; * and, coming soon, presentations on each of the topics. You?ll also find a link to order the materials for free and in large quantities. You can order a folder with materials on all the issues in one place, an issue at a time in a tear-off pad of fact sheets, or a brick of bookmarks. If you have questions, ideas on other issues to cover, or other resources that would help you, please feel free to contact the FTC at PassItOn at ftc.gov. Cheers!

But times have changed. Now, as organizations have expanded and have become increasingly more complex, no matter what the formal hierarchies are, people must work with each other across reporting lines. It doesn't work to say, "Do it because I told you so." Leading from any position requires higher evolutionary leadership and influencing skills. In this training, participants will learn leadership concepts and frameworks, including emotional intelligence; effective communication, leading teams, and motivating others. Participants will have the opportunity to practice skills and develop action/ development learning plans. Training objectives. Participants will: 1. Be able to articulate the differences between management and leadership 2. Compare and contrast leading with and without authority 3. Identify critical people skills needed 4. Describe emotional intelligence and understand their own personality type 5. List the essential elements of communication skills 6. Articulate the differences in leading, communicating with, and motivating diverse work groups, i.e., cultural, race, gender, age 7. Describe how to lead various teams and team members 8. Articulate various recognition programs and the use of cognitive strategies Presented by Cyndi Schaeffer, King County Employee Training Light refreshments and lunch will be provided for all attendees. Funded in part by the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS) through the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA). This workshop is free to all staff and volunteers who work in libraries.

Hi, We get our book bags from Bank Supply, http://banksupplies.com/?gclid=CJfM4ceN_b8CFQ5gMgodQkIA1A. They will paint graphics on them. The bins have been an adventure. Our favorite model was discontinued and we switched to some from Global that turned out to be less sturdy. Then a supplier in Tigard tracked down a company in Canada that bought the dies for the ones we like, and was able to get us more. That was: Engineered Products of Oregon (503-627-9100) and the model was #SN201612, 20 X 16 X 12 Nest Totes. Let me know if you need to know more.

It has been a huge benefit for us. You won't make much money from the 15% commission, but they provide you with boxes and UPS labels (which you print out), and they pay for UPS shipping. You just have to be able to box up the materials and get online to print the labels and schedule the pick-up. Knowing that the books will be used well (they will be sold to eager readers worldwide, or used in literacy programs worldwide, or recycled) is a big bonus. You can also apply to them for grants for your own local literacy projects. Access to BWB helped us recruit and organize volunteers to sort our book donations year round. The volunteers were inspired to help the library earn more money by skimming off the best quality items, checking their value, and selling them online directly through an Amazon Storefront for the Friends (http://ow.ly/oY4Qh). The organized sorting effort also improved the quality of books on our Friends' "Neverending" Sale shelves, *and* improved the books and the organization of the books for the Friends' big local sales. We have seen revenue from the Neverending sale go up to a steady $250+/month, and online sales are also about $300/month. For us, that's a lot! I have heard that a PDX-area library's Friends have been using BWB to great success-was it Beaverton? I know a lot of libraries use BWB for their discards--books that the Friends usually aren't going to want for their sales. One caveat: having also bought books from BWB on Amazon, I can say as a customer that I don't like their packaging. They use this weird shrink-wrap stuff for single-book orders, which clings to the book cover. The book I most recently got from them was fine, thanks to the mylar cover on the ex-library book I purchased, but I can see this stuff causing damage, or allowing damage in transit.

Consumers may decide Message-ID: http://www.districtdispatch.org/2014/08/will-future-look-like-consumers-may-decide/ What will the future look like? Consumers may decide Posted on August 5, 2014 by Margaret Kavara s Last week, the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF) hosted a panel discussion on IT and disruptive innovation featuring the authors of *Code Halos: How the Digital Lives of People, Things, and Organizations are Changing the Rules of Business.* The discussion focused on the way in which consumers leave a code trail, or ?halo? in virtually everything they do from personal finance to fitness pursuits to enjoying music. Thanks to the internet of things, predictive sites such as Pandora and Netflix, and industry-disrupting services like Uber and Airbnb, user data can be generated across the span of our day-to-day lives. This data can reveal surprising patterns about us; panel moderator and President of ITIF Robert Atkinson shared the example of how music preferences accurately predict political leaning. If you listen to Garth Brooks, apparently you are overwhelmingly likely to vote Republican, and Pandora has realized that selling user data on music preferences to political organizations can be a profitable business. But what about the role of government policy and the protection of privacy? The panelists differed on the necessary approach to regulating the market in the digital age, though they agreed on one key point: legislation will not keep up with the rate of technology, and this will require placing a huge amount of trust in corporations to ?not be evil.? To some, that may sounds like quite a paradox, but the panelists were overall enthusiastic about innovation possibilities outweighing privacy dangers. They suggested that because companies will rely on acquiring user data, they have an incentive to be transparent and play by the rules in order to maintain their customers? trust and interest. To assume that everyone can equally understand and navigate the internet and the growing wealth of digital information is a narrow and inaccurate perception One argument presented stipulates that disruption actually gives consumers more freedom and privacy by facilitating their ability to quickly communicate with each other. It is easier than ever for individuals to collect and share information about products and services, and through sites and apps like Yelp and Tripadvisor, they can market successful businesses to one another. Could this be a way for consumers to regulate new emerging digital markets faster and more efficiently than government, which is slow to keep up? Another argument is that while disruptive innovation makes consumers less able to remain anonymous to data-collectors, it actually allows them to enjoy more privacy from their neighbors. In small towns, for example, seeking online health information eliminates the concern of buying a book when the salesperson knows your mother-in-law, or calling your doctor who you will then see tomorrow at the PTA meeting. However, many important policy questions remain. While the benefits of disruptive innovation are giving consumers more for lower costs, what becomes of jobs in sectors that are disrupted? What happens if the government were to digitize services to maximize efficiency (like customs offices at airports) and cuts thousands of jobs, often for working class citizens? Will these displaced workers benefit from IT innovation and new services, or will they be unable to afford access? During the Q&A the topic turned to the digital divide. Questions from the audience focused on how those who are disconnected from the world of tech efficiency will fit into the new business frameworks that are being created by disruptive innovation. Panelists? answers indicated that like any emerging innovation and infrastructure, IT will diffuse slowly from concentrated markets outwards, just as electricity, cars, telephones, trains, and film have in the past. Perhaps not surprisingly, the conversation centered on consumers and industries. Libraries were not discussed as ?third space? providers and access points to technology when discussing the digital divide. When I raised the question of how the authors saw libraries being impacted by disruptive technologies, they lauded the valuable public space libraries provide, but debated whether we will need librarians, assuming everyone will be able to find information online. Another thought that in the future libraries will downsize, getting rid of the stacks and just having computer access. This fairly uninformed view of what librarians really do indicates the growing need for libraries to amplify their voices in communicating all that they offer , curate, and make possible in both print and digital resources. The E?s of Libraries, ? facilitating education, empowerment, employment, entrepreneurship and engagement, are growing increasingly more important for a public in which digital literacy is still a significant challenge. To assume that everyone can equally understand and navigate the internet and the growing wealth of digital information is a narrow and inaccurate perception, as is assuming that librarians will not be needed in playing the role of information enablers and knowledge curators. While there are many potential benefits in the decisions being made now in the ?early days of the new era of commerce? it is clear that many more diverse discussions on the value of privacy, regulations, algorithm analytics, censorship, and security will need to happen to ensure positive development and social value added. Libraries support the public interest in ways that the tech industry and market cannot, and going forward into an innovative, disruptive era could leave many trapped on the wrong side of the digital divide. Libraries are vital because they are institutions not driven by profit, and are thereby the best actor suited to teaching digital skills and helping the public understand the benefits and tradeoffs that come with using new industry-disruptive services. The unique space libraries fill in providing training and equal access to new tech will remain highly relevant, timely, and necessary as the digital revolution reinvents major sectors of society. http://www.districtdispatch.org/2014/08/will-future-look-like-consumers-may-decide/ -- *Diedre Conkling* *Lincoln County Library DistrictP.O.

But times have changed. Now, as organizations have expanded and have become increasingly more complex, no matter what the formal hierarchies are, people must work with each other across reporting lines. It doesn't work to say, "Do it because I told you so." Leading from any position requires higher evolutionary leadership and influencing skills. In this training, participants will learn leadership concepts and frameworks, including emotional intelligence; effective communication, leading teams, and motivating others. Participants will have the opportunity to practice skills and develop action/ development learning plans. Training objectives. Participants will: 1. Be able to articulate the differences between management and leadership 2. Compare and contrast leading with and without authority 3. Identify critical people skills needed 4. Describe emotional intelligence and understand their own personality type 5. List the essential elements of communication skills 6. Articulate the differences in leading, communicating with, and motivating diverse work groups, i.e., cultural, race, gender, age 7. Describe how to lead various teams and team members 8. Articulate various recognition programs and the use of cognitive strategies Presented by Cyndi Schaeffer, King County Employee Training Light refreshments and lunch will be provided for all attendees.

The library received the notice from a ?copyright troller.? Copyright trollers are companies whose sole purpose is to find alleged infringements on the Web for rights holders (like the motion picture industry). They can identify the IP address where an alleged infringing act took place, track down the holder of the IP address, and then send a scary legal notice asking for payment, or else?you will find yourself in court on an infringement charge! Because of the nature of this business, these companies have been stuck with the derogatory moniker ?copyright trolls,? the repo men of the web. Copyright trolls do not aim to sue alleged infringers, instead they use ?cease and desist letters to cajole alleged infringers who, when threatened with legal action, feel fortunate that they only have to pay a fine. This saves the rights holders time and money?they can avoid going to court (because they never wanted to in the first place), avoid arguing their case and accruing legal costs, and avoid a court ruling that could go against them. A library will receive a notice when copyright trollers find that someone using the library?s network has downloaded content, but because of a provision in the copyright law, third parties (like the library) cannot be held liable for the actions of their users. (For more explanation about this provision and how libraries should respond see Public access computers in libraries and liability concerns ). So back to my acting gig. I was impersonating because I wanted to see what would happen if I told the copyright trolling company that the library was not liable for infringement. Would they put up a fuss? I was able to contact the company quite easily on the web. They placed their phone number in large font, right on the top of the home page. I was able to talk to a real person right away. (When your business is collecting money, you make yourself available and answer the phone). I talked to a nice man named Dan, and once I explained to him that we had liability protection under the copyright law, he was quite happy to dismiss the case. I then called the real librarian at the rural public library and told her the news. She was delighted that the problem was solved. Now that?s customer service! In my conversation with Dan, he recommended that the library use filters to prevent access to peer-to-peer networks, or the library was likely to get more notices. I said ?ok,? but really that suggestion did not sit right with me, being a librarian and all. There is enough filtering going on (see the CIPA report (pdf) ), and I do not want to block access to websites and online tools that can be used for non-infringing purposes. This is akin to banning photocopiers in libraries. Unfortunately, I know that some libraries would agree to censor. I know that some of their attorneys would recommend that the library censor. I know too many libraries that would willingly pay the cease and desist fine. Over time, we look like a bunch of pushovers, when really we should complain about these things. We have rights under the law and we have legal protections. Let?s use them with confidence! Don?t be a sucker. http://www.districtdispatch.org/2014/08/conversation-copyright-troller/ -- *Diedre Conkling* *Lincoln County Library DistrictP.O.

Chicago, IL: ALA Editions. 978-0-8389-1192-1. The traditional "top down" approach to collection development definitely has its drawbacks: even after spending a good deal of time, energy, and resources, librarians are sometimes frustrated to find that their library's collection is not being used as they anticipated. But there's another strategy that's gaining momentum. This book gathers together the best practitioners in the emerging field of customer-based collection development, whose goal is to find out what library users need and want and manage collections accordingly. Speaking from firsthand experience, professionals from a variety of academic and public libraries * Offer strategies for planning and implementing a customer-based collection program * Summarize its potential impact on a library's budget * Discuss cataloging implications, and other day-to-day operational issues * Present guidelines for evaluating and marketing Customer-based collection development is one way for libraries to navigate the rapid changes in what users expect of libraries, and this new anthology is an important guide to this approach.

This is one of what I anticipate will be a number of changes as we reorganize the library. We have decided that we will no longer staff the reference room here at OSL. There are several reasons why this decision has been made. As you know, we have been working to reorganize the library so that we can improve efficiencies and modernize library services. The use of the reference room by our primary constituency, state agency staff, is very low. It is quite expensive to staff the reference room for 35 hours a week and to pay rent on that space. And finally and probably most importantly, the Government Information and Library Services staff are working to modernize and provide updated library services to state agency staff. Those efforts will take the time and expertise of staff that is currently staffing the reference room. This will allow our Government Information and Library Services Division to target those areas that will provide the most useful and up-to-date information and services to our patrons. One significant impact this will have is that since we will not be staffing the reference room it will no longer be open to the public after October 1, 2014. This will affect our partners, Willamette Valley Genealogical Society, who have volunteers here during our open hours and who hold a program one Saturday a month. I have informed WGVS that since we will no longer be staffing the reference room their operations in the reference room, including once a month Saturday sessions, can no longer be held here. In the next two months we will be discussing our communication strategy as well as how to meet our obligations as a member of the Federal Depository Library Program and to our state agency users who need on site assistance. Thanks to all of you for your support and concern as we have moved through our reorganization/transformation/redesign. The State Library Board will dedicate their next meeting to strategic planning, we have engaged the Coraggio Group from Portland to facilitate and consult. I will keep you updated as there is information to share. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have questions or concerns.

My library board raised this question and I couldn't think of any library foundations I knew of that had this as a requirement. The question was raised because library foundations are typically self-governing although I know that many if they are big enough hand off the accounting to an outside source that they hire (typically an established accounting firm).

The IMLS National Leadership Grants for Libraries program invests $12 million annually in projects that improve professional library and archive practice with implications far beyond the grantee institutions. The grants help drive innovation and support projects with national impact. This year, IMLS is adding an additional opportunity to apply for FY 2015 National Leadership Grants for Libraries. IMLS will be accepting applications in October and again in February. For the October deadline we are implementing some changes that will allow the agency to address strategic issues identified in a series of IMLS Focus meetings that were held earlier this year. To make it possible for IMLS to provide feedback to potential applicants before they prepare full proposals, we will be accepting brief preliminary proposals on October 13, 2014 and inviting selected applicants to submit full proposals.

Last spring, agency leadership traveled to New York, San Francisco and Chicago to convene IMLS Focus, a series of nationally webcasted meetings to explore library trends and opportunities. These interactive events spotlighted the importance of strong libraries to benefit all Americans by providing opportunities for lifelong learning, anchors for community engagement, and access to content. Hundreds of library professionals and representatives of library organizations participated in these meetings nationwide, online and in person, for a rich discussion that captured input to help IMLS focus its approach to supporting innovation in the nation?s libraries. The October 13, 2014, deadline for NLG libraries will focus on the three strategic priorities that were explored in these meetings. * National digital platform, which focuses on key needs, gaps, opportunities, and goals to consider in furthering national digital initiatives * Learning spaces in libraries, which focuses on emerging learning models that can deepen community engagement in libraries, particularly through learning labs, makerspaces, and digital commons * STEM learning in libraries, which focuses on learning for all types of users, with an emphasis on models or practices that serve at-risk youth Timeline at a Glance for October Deadline NLG NLG Libraries: October 13, 2014 Deadline Dates NOFO released August 13, 2014 Preliminary proposals due October 13, 2014 Notification of invitations TBD Full proposal due from invited applicants January 15, 2015 Notification of final decisions Not later than March 15, 2015 Project start date May 1, 2015 For the February deadline, we will not require preliminary proposals.

No Comments ? Today, the Association of Tribal Archives, Libraries, and Museums (ATALM) released the study, Digital Inclusion in Native Communities: The Role of Tribal Libraries (pdf). The national study is the first to provide comprehensive data on the structure, activities, and needs of tribal libraries as they improve broadband access and digital literacy in Native communities. Key findings from the study : - One hundred percent of public libraries offer patrons access to the Internet, but only 89 percent of tribal libraries in the study sample were able to do so. - One hundred percent of public libraries offer patrons access to public computer workstations, but only 86 percent of tribal libraries in the study sample were able to do so. - At least 40 percent of tribal libraries in the study sample did not have a broadband Internet connection. - Only 42 percent of tribal libraries in the study sample were able to provide patrons with technology training, as compared to 87 percent of rural public libraries and 90 percent of all public libraries. - Only 15 percent of tribal libraries in the study sample received E-Rate discounts to help fund broadband connections, as compared to well more than half of public libraries.?Native communities are lagging behind the rest of America in digital access for Native citizens and thus are at a distinct socio-economic disadvantage,? said Dr. Letitia Chambers, board chair of ATALM, in a statement (doc). Funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the ATALM Digital Inclusion study draws on data from a national survey of tribal librarians conducted by the Association of Tribal Archives, Libraries, and Museums. The report makes 35 recommendations for improving digital inclusion in Native communities and provides examples of how technology is improving lives of tribal citizens. http://www.districtdispatch.org/2014/08/improving-digital-inclusion-native-communities/ -- *Diedre Conkling* *Lincoln County Library DistrictP.O.

The official meeting will be from 10-2; the unofficial pre-meeting schmoozing time will start at 9:30 a.m. Morning refreshments and drinks will be provided. Lunch will be BYO or available for a small fee - stay tuned for more on lunch options as we get closer to the date. When we send out the lunch info, we will also ask for RSVPs. Expect to see that about a month prior to the meeting. At present, our agenda includes 1) the Oregon Public Library Standards and other PLD projects (like creating a policy clearinghouse), 2) Oregon State Librarian Mary Kay Dahlgreen and Manager of Library Development Susan Westin, 3) Drug-free zones for libraries and 4) SWAT for Public Libraries (remember the keynote speakers at the conference?), and 5) last but not least, our OLA President, Candice Watkins will fill us in on OLA activities. Plus, if you have topics of interest to the entire Oregon public library directors' community, we would like to add them to the agenda. Please send these ideas as soon as you have them! 2) Next topic: the annual OLA conference! We have been notified that pre-conference and session proposals will be requested soon and will be due before the end of September. YIKES! We'd really want to offer sessions that meet your training and information needs. Therefore, we need to hear from you. What are those topics which would benefit not just your stuff but other library staff from around the state? What is the topic which you recently said 'if only they had a conference session on this!' We need to hear about those. Here are the topics that have been on our minds. What about you? -high conflict people -the Edge initiative: what is it, how does it relate to Public Library Standards -Egov't services -grants, foundations and fundraising -social workers in libraries 3) And, finally, speaking of the annual conference and public library directors, we talked at one time about getting the directors together more than once a year. Timing gets difficult. What would you think about a directors' pre-conference if we got a really good speaker like Pam Sandlian Smith? Again, another topic which needs to be decided before we get together October 10. Looking forward to hearing from you and thank you for your help!

Friday, October 24, 2014 @12pm Menucha Retreat & Conference Center Join library colleagues from across Oregon and Washington for two days of insightful and thought-provoking conversation about issues related to the intersections of librarianship and technology, and the implications for our work, identities, users and institutions.

Mary Mitchell is a doctoral candidate in the history and sociology of science at the University of Pennsylvania. She will present her talk ?Civil Rights & Civil Liberties in an Atomic Age: A View from the Fallout Suits and Bomb Test Cases,? on Tuesday, August 26th at 2:00 PM in Willamette East room of the Valley Library (room #3622). Here is an abstract of her presentation: In 1958 and again in 1962 antinuclear activists filed lawsuits seeking to stop atmospheric nuclear testing in the United States and abroad. This lecture places the appeal to law within the broader contexts of government attacks on scientists' academic freedom and activists' developing ideas about the promise of individual rights. In it, I explore the purpose and significance of attempts to air scientific disputes over fallout in the courts. Mary Mitchell is the third of our Resident Scholars to examine the Linus Pauling Papers with an interest in the Fallout Suits, which Pauling helped to lead. Mitchell?s approach is unique, however, in that her background is in law ? she has a J.D. from Drexel University, 2009 ? and she is examining what she calls the ?broader socio-legal milieu? that informed and surrounded this particular piece of Pauling?s activism. This should be a fun talk ? please join us if you can! The OSU Libraries and Press Resident Scholar Program awards stipends of up to $2,500 per month to support researchers whose proposals detail a compelling potential use of the collections held in the Libraries' Special Collections & Archives Research Center.

(with Appendix I (pdf) and Appendix II (pdf) ) to stimulate discussion about and ultimately inform a national policy agenda for the U.S. library community. A draft policy agenda will be developed for public comment through the Policy Revolution! initiative led by the ALA Office for Information Technology Policy (OITP) with guidance from its Library Advisory Committee (LAC). ?The speed of change related to technology and the linked policy dimensions is breathtaking. Similarly, library roles and demands are evolving, and so the library community?s national policy priorities need to be critically reviewed and realigned accordingly,? said OITP Advisory Committee Chair and LAC Ex Officio Member Dan Lee. As a baseline component for this analysis of public policy, the ALA undertook a broad-ranging scan of the horizon of emerging trends affecting U.S. communities. Studies, reports, and more substantive articles on major trends relevant were reviewed, categorized, analyzed, and debated in the past months. ALA Executive Board and LAC member James G. Neal will discuss this report as part of a panel this week at the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) World Library and Information Congress in Lyon, France. The Policy Revolution! is a three-year initiative funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. It includes three major components: establishing policy priorities, engaging decision makers and influencers to advance policy goals, and upgrading ALA policy advocacy practice and capabilities for long-term sustainability. ALA invites comments on the draft by September 15, 2014. Comments should be posted below or emailed to Larra Clark at lclark at alawash dot org, with the subject line ?Comments on Trends Report.? We invite both substantive comments, as well as ideas about how subsets of this material may be useful in various strategy and planning endeavors. The final trends report is expected to be published this fall. http://www.districtdispatch.org/2014/08/understanding-turbulent-world-develop-library-policy-agenda/ -- *Diedre Conkling* *Lincoln County Library DistrictP.O.

Enrollment has re-opened for the ?Emerging Future: Technology Issues and Trends ? Massive Open Online Course (MOOC). The future-focused MOOC, offered entirely online and for free by the San Jos? State University (SJSU) School of Information, aims to explore the impact of new technologies while introducing participants to important issues, emerging trends, and the skills necessary to plan effectively for the future. As a participant, you will experience an interactive online learning environment via a wide range of tools and diverse materials (e.g., freely accessible readings, recorded presentations, and online videos), and you?ll have an opportunity to: * Explore the current technological environment * Become immersed in the literature and practices of current futurists * Select appropriate resources to use in planning for new technologies * Discuss key impact factors and trends affecting our personal and global existence * Engage with peers and instructors, heightening their learning and taking full advantage of this professional development opportunity * Earn badges and MOOC certification on completion of activities related to each of the modules Dr. Sue Alman, a lecturer at the SJSU School of Information and an expert in both futurism and online learning, created the ?Emerging Future: Technology Issues and Trends? MOOC based on her ?Exploring Future Technologies? LIBR 281 seminar offered to graduate students in the school?s 100% online Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) program. She is co-teaching with Jen Jumba, a public librarian who also teaches courses in the school?s MLIS program. According to Alman, ?There are dozens of categories that have been targeted for major research initiatives, and the results will have theoretical and practical effects on the ways in which libraries and archives strategically plan for the future. Some of these areas include astrophysics, big data, cybersecurity, transportation, robotics, agriculture, and many more.? The rapid development of new technologies also has enormous impact on the future of individuals and information organizations. Alman added, ?Professionals who have traditional library and archives roles must be aware of the information and technological advances in order to assist users, and they must be prepared for exciting new positions in all types of organizations.? Knowing who and what to watch will keep you informed on the latest technology issues and trends that will impact the future. Reserve your spot for this future-focused MOOC. Sign Up Now The ?Emerging Future: Technology Issues and Trends? MOOC is open to everyone as a professional development opportunity. The MOOC does not offer academic credit. The class will run from Sept. 22, 2014 to Nov. 2, 2014. Participants will be registered on a first-come, first-served basis. If you already registered for the course earlier this summer, there?s no need to do anything more. We look forward to seeing you in class on Sept. 22! About The San Jos?

In Washington, Seattle Public and Fort Vancouver have it, so they might be the ones to ask. Seattle Public does not circulate theirs, it?s available in-library only, which may indicate they?ve had trouble getting them back. Fort Vancouver has the two most recent issues only, which means they either just started the subscription or they are having a problem with lost/missing issues.

You've heard of lightning talks. Well, this year at the ACRL OR/WA Annual Joint Conference at Menucha we're bringing you shock talks - talks that are even shorter, but still pack a punch! You'll have two minutes and the format is up to you - no slide requirements. Just tell us about something interesting or thought-provoking or important or...shocking (see what we did there) relating to professional identity and technology. These fast, fun talks will give more people a chance to participate and will allow many more ideas to be thrown into our two-day discussion about professional identity and technology. Whatever part of the library you work in - from library director to paraprofessional to library school student - you have something to add to this discussion and we want to hear from you! We're also seeking poster proposals! Have you done some interesting research in your library, created a fantastic outreach program, developed a new technology-related service, or anything else you are excited about and want to share? If so, submitting a poster is a great way to share what you've been up to. Your poster can be in traditional poster format or digital. To submit your idea for a shock talk or a poster, please go to https://ola.memberclicks.net/index.php?option=com_mc&view=mc&mcid=form_174842 and fill out our quick proposal form *by Friday, September 19th at 11:59pm.* We will review all of the submissions and let you know if you're in by Friday, October 5th. P.S. shock talks and posters that are in some way related to the conference theme will be given preference, but you are welcome to propose a talk or poster on any topic your heart desires! -- Annie Downey, PhD, MLS Director of Research Services Reed College Library 503-517-5587 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

[book1.png] Hirtle, Peter B., Emily Hudson, Andrew T. Kenyon. Copyright & Cultural Institutions: Guidelines for Digitization for U.S. Libraries, Archives, and Museums. Ithica, NY: Cornell University Library, 2009. The development of new digital technologies has led to fundamental changes in the ways that cultural institutions fulfill their public missions of access, preservation, research, and education. Many institutions are developing publicly-accessible websites in which users can visit online exhibitions, search collection databases, access images of collection items, and in some cases create their own digital content. Digitization, however, also raises the possibility of copyright infringement. It is imperative, therefore, that staff in libraries, archives, and museums have a good understanding of fundamental copyright principles and how institutional procedures can be affected by the law. Copyright and Cultural Institutions was written to assist understanding and compliance with copyright law. It discusses the basics of copyright law and the exclusive rights of the copyright owner, the major exemptions used by cultural heritage institutions, and stresses the importance of "risk assessment" when conducting any digitization project. Two cases studies (on digitizing oral histories and student work) are also included. 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 library science collection is meant to support the whole Oregon library community. The Library Development Division welcomes your suggestions for acquisitions - see the blog for an input form or email us! This collection is supported in whole by the Institute of Museum and Library Services through the Library Services and Technology Act, administered by the Oregon State Library.

Ten of the challenged items were retained in the collection, one of those was reclassified from the teen to the adult section, and one was removed from the collection. I encourage you to incorporate this information and/or the titles of the challenged materials in your Banned Books Week displays and activities. Many people may not realize that book banning is not a thing from the past or that attempts to ban books are made every year right here in Oregon. This is a valuable educational opportunity to discuss the nature of the First Amendment-just as we have a right to access these materials in our libraries, we have a right to question whether they are appropriate to include in public collections. * Why might someone find these materials inappropriate? * Why should they remain in the collection? * Is labeling a book an effective way to inform people about content that may not be appropriate for everyone or is it a form of censorship? * What would you do if someone came up to you in your library and said they want you to remove a book from the collection? * Why is a collection development policy the most important line of defense when library materials are challenged? * Does your library have a policy or established procedure for patrons to challenge material? You can find resources that may help you answer these questions at: http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/intellectual.aspx About the OIFC Annual Report Every year the Oregon Intellectual Freedom Clearinghouse (OIFC) publishes a report on challenges to all types of library materials in Oregon. This report provides a landscape of censorship activity in Oregon, and is submitted to ALA's Office of Intellectual Freedom to be included in their report on censorship activity in the United States. The Annual Report is also used by librarians and teachers to help them develop activities for Banned Books Week. The Annual Report is based on challenge reports OIFC receives from all types of Oregon libraries (school, academic, and public). All local libraries are encouraged to report challenges to materials on a voluntary basis. OIFC does not publish names of people, organizations, libraries, and towns identified in challenge reports confidential. I will be compiling the 2015 Annual Report in August 2015. Please submit a separate challenge report for each formal challenge to library materials that occur at your library between July 1, 2014 and June 30, 2015. Reports may be submitted as they are resolved or all together in July 2015. This information is complied to assist Oregon libraries currently facing a challenge as well as providing information that will help you plan Banned Books Week activities. The Annual Report will tell you what books were challenged in Oregon libraries the previous year. The more libraries reporting challenges to OIFC the better OIFC can help you! Please take time to report challenges to OIFC. The accuracy of OIFC's Annual Report and Title Index to Challenges is directly related to the number of Oregon libraries reporting challenges. To report challenges to materials at your library: 1. Download and print the form at http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/intellectual.aspx#Report_Challenges_to_the_State_Library 2. Fill out a challenge report form for each item that went through your library's formal process for dealing with challenges to library material. 3. Mail your completed form(s) to: Oregon State Library c/o Oregon Intellectual Freedom Clearinghouse 250 Winter St. NE Salem, OR 97301 For more information about OIFC visit our website (http://cms.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/intellectual.aspx) or contact the coordinator of OIFC, Katie Anderson, 503-378-2528. PS: Attention School Librarians! Submit reports to OIFC on challenges after they have gone through your school's formal challenge to materials process and a decision to retain, relocate, or remove the title has been officially made. Submit reports on informal challenges to OASL's Intellectual Freedom Committee Chair, currently Leigh Ann Morlock (intellectualfreedom at oasl.olaweb.org).

Mentors and mentees will be partnered based on similar interests, professional experience, and/or goals. The mentoring relationship will develop over the course of a year and contact can take place in-person or over phone, email, or web conferencing. Please note that the mentoring program is focused on early career guidance rather than job-seeking. If you are an early career librarian with less than five years of professional experience, please consider applying to be paired up with a mentor . To become a mentee, you must meet ALL of the following requirements: 1. Be an OLA Member. 2. Hold an MLIS or equivalent (MSIS, MLS, school library teaching license, etc.) and/or have been in a professional library position(s) for fewer than five years 3. Currently be working in a library in some capacity (volunteer, paraprofessional, professional). We will pair mentors and mentees based on the order in which mentee applications are received and the availability of mentors to match a mentee's specific goals. Matches between mentors and mentees will be made on a rolling basis, so if you are not paired with a mentor immediately, we will pair you when a mentor who is a good match becomes available.

Kirsten?s transcript is online at www.answerland.org/awards The patron submitted a chat question, asking, ?My book group is focusing on Mexico this year. Do you have any recommendations for an adult book on the Mexican revolution (non-fiction)?? Kirsten was immediately friendly and expressed enthusiasm saying ?What an interesting topic!? and offered to search for an answer. However, the patron needed to log out after just a minute and asked that an answer be sent by email instead of through chat. Kirsten researched the question and found a wide variety of books on the topic which she sent to the patron later the same day. The suggestions include several engaging books about the revolution as well as a book about women of the Mexican Revolution. Kirsten consulted authoritative resources and shared book reviews to annotate her suggestions. We appreciate Kirsten?s eagerness to help the patron from the beginning of the chat conversation through her completion of the email answer. We?re guessing that one of these books led to a good read for the book group and a lively discussion for the group members. The Quality Team is impressed with Kirsten?s friendly tone, readers? advisory skills, and use of authoritative resources. As an expression of our appreciation, Kirsten was presented with flowers and a certificate. Please join us in congratulating her! The Answerland Quality Team Stephanie Debner, Mt.

However, the library staff is not always equipped with the skills to address the requests of all patrons, especially those who need to adjust their device for ease of access. The needs of patrons can range from changing the contrast on a device to starting text-to-speech. This training will use the devices from Washington State Library's Gadget Menagerie to show the accessibility features that are available out of the box. The focus will be on accessing e-book and audio book readers that are available from your public library and how to access the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped's Braille and Audio Reading Downloads (BARD) app, which is available for Apple devices from the Washington Talking Book & Braille Library for eligible patrons. Devices include: Kindle, Kindle Fire HD, Nook HD+, Nook Simple Touch, Galaxy Note Tablet, iPad and the Surface RT. Presented by Eura Szuwalski. Working lunch provided.

But times have changed. Now, as organizations have expanded and have become increasingly more complex, no matter what the formal hierarchies are, people must work with each other across reporting lines. It doesn't work to say, "Do it because I told you so." Leading from any position requires higher evolutionary leadership and influencing skills. In this training, participants will learn leadership concepts and frameworks, including emotional intelligence; effective communication, leading teams, and motivating others. Participants will have the opportunity to practice skills and develop action/ development learning plans. Presented by Cyndi Schaeffer, King County Government Employee Training.

I was impressed with the two database workshops that Kate Dwyer is conducting. And, I love the names: Student Success Workshop and DataBASE CAMP. :-) See the newsletter below for details. I contacted Kate and learned that she coordinated with staff in local school districts who approved giving professional development credits to teachers who participate in the workshops. She is now checking if other organizations, like Worksource Oregon and DHS, would offer credits to their staff, too.

August 26, 2014 Free student success workshop this Wednesday Just in time for back-to-school preparations is the free Student Success Workshop, taking place 5-7 pm this Wednesday, August 27 at the Grants Pass branch of Josephine Community Libraries. Books are just the beginning of the learning tools available at public libraries. Learning in the digital age requires the knowledge of where to find quality information sources online and how to use them effectively. Public libraries and schools offer in-depth resources, but many people are unaware of them. Outreach Education Librarian Kate Dwyer will give a lively and informative "guided tour" to safe, free, fact-checked databases provided by schools, libraries, and government agencies. She'll demonstrate how best to use them for education as well as for lifelong learning. The Student Success Workshop is free and open to the public. Educators, students over 10 years of age, and their parents are strongly encouraged to attend, and to bring their laptop or tablet if available. Participants will learn the skills to evaluate and utilize modern information resources to support learning. DataBASE CAMP on September 9 Can't make it to the Student Success Workshop? Come to the free DataBASE CAMP, 5-7 pm on Tuesday, September 9, also at the Grants Pass library. Designed for parents, educators, and students over 10 years, this workshop demonstrates how you can use library databases to succeed in school. No registration is necessary for either workshop. Just show up and be prepared to be amazed. For more information, contact Kate Dwyer, 541-476-0571. Williams end-of-summer party Wednesday 8/27 Come celebrate a busy summer library season 5:30-8 pm on Wednesday, August 27, at the Williams branch of Josephine Community Libraries. Local musician Warren Wolfe will coordinate the music, and festivities will also include activities for the kids, educational talks, and refreshments. The Williams Friends of the Library will offer books for sale, with all proceeds benefitting the Williams branch. Also remember to bring your preschoolers and toddlers to storytime at the Williams library, every Tuesday at 1:30 pm. Weather permitting, storytimes are held outside in the garden. For more information, contact JCLI Williams Branch Manager Danielle Schreck, 541-846-7020. Volunteers needed for library district campaign Hundreds of volunteers are now needed to help ensure stable funding for our libraries. Measure 17-62 to form the Josephine Community Library District will be on the November 4 ballot. One way to help is through the Neighbor-to-Neighbor program taking place now through September. Volunteers talk with their family, friends, and neighbors about the library district and identify whether they're likely to vote Yes. At least 16,001 Yes votes are needed. In October, volunteers are needed to walk neighborhoods, talk with residents, place door-hangers, put up lawn signs, and call citizens to remind them to vote.

This year?s award winner is The Library User-experience & Assessment Un-Conference (LUAU) team. LUAU is recognized for the team?s positive impact on Oregon libraries by bringing together academic librarians from across the Pacific Northwest. The LUAU team members include Rick Stoddart (OSU/UI), Donna Reed (PCC), Diane Provak (UI), Frank Haulgren (WWU), Kate Rubick, (L&C), Laura Zeigen (OHSU), Lori Ricgilano (UPS), Meredith Farkas (PSU/PCC), Steve Borellii (WSU), Steve Hiller (UW), and Anya Arnold (Alliance). LUAU built trust to share library assessment expertise across the Alliance and with non-Alliance members within the Northwest area; identified library assessment experts and projects within the Alliance; and articulated common library assessment priorities in the field. ACRL-Oregon commends this team for their initiative in pursuing grant money to assist in funding the project, fostering new relationships, and their commitment to potentially regularly holding the un-conference. LUAU was funded through a grant from the Orbis Cascade Alliance.
