Return to top of page State Library News State Library Partners with CCRLS for New ILS The State Library is in the developing stages of an exciting new partnership with Chemeketa Cooperative Regional Library Service (CCRLS). You may have heard that CCRLS is migrating to a new integrated library management system (ILS). They've selected the SirsiDynix Symphony integrated library system, along with a full set of additional features to provide the latest library management tools. Very soon the State Library will be sharing this new CCRLS Symphony/Blue Cloud library management system platform. The process is beginning now with plans to complete the migration in late January 2015. In addition to existing features of the current ILS, the new system will allow state agency staff to find books, serials, eBooks, online databases, and digital content all in one search. Additionally, with Single Sign On, patrons will have access to these materials and databases by logging into the system only once. 2014 Oregon Summer Reading Statistics Now Available [FizzboomRead]In September, libraries reported their 2014 summer reading participation statistics to the State Library. Those statistics have been compiled into the Summer Reading Brief 2014. A total of 207,449 children and teens in Oregon participated in the summer reading program and 69,060 of them reached their reading goal and finished the summer reading program. In addition, 216,250 people attended 4,720 summer reading programs. Libraries can review the statistics they reported in the 2014 Oregon Summer Reading Statistic Spreadsheet-this spreadsheet also include libraries' orders for 2015 sweepstakes materials and 2016 manuals. Congratulations to Oregon public libraries on the wonderful work you are doing to help students maintain or improve their reading skills during the summer break. Fizz Boom Save! Summer Reading Sweepstakes Winners Announced [OCSP Logo]Fizz, Boom, Save!, sponsored by the Oregon College Savings Plan, in partnership with the Oregon State Library and Oregon Library Association, awarded eight winners a $529 Oregon College Savings Plan account, and $500 to each library with a winning participant. In addition to the eight winning children and teens, thousands more youth attended free performances at public libraries, serving fewer than 10,000 people underwritten by the Oregon College Savings Plan. These activities help spread awareness of the importance of reading and saving early for college. Learn more about the summer reading sweepstakes on the State Library's summer reading webpage.

The Oregon Poetry Collection is Moving [PoetryPoster]The Oregon Poetry Collection is moving to the University of Oregon Library in Eugene. Items in the collection will not be accessible during the transfer of digital records and physical materials. While many of us are sad to see the Oregon Poetry Collection leave the State Library, the collection should get more use at a University where professors can use materials in their curriculum and students can more easily get their hands on materials for homework and enjoyment. The University of Oregon Library and Oregon Poetry Association will announce when the materials are accessible again. At that time Oregon Poetry Collection will be available statewide through interlibrary loan and the Oregon Library Passport Program which University of Oregon Library participates in. The Oregon Poetry Collection was established in 2007 by the State Library and Oregon Poetry Association as a project of the Oregon Center for the Book. Items in the collection are written by Oregon poets, past and present, or deal substantially with Oregon subject matter. In November 2014, the Oregon Poetry Association and University of Oregon Library signed a memorandum of understanding to continue to preserve, promote, and make accessible publications of Oregon poets. Questions? Contact Katie Anderson. What Libraries Need to Know about Cover Oregon and the Affordable Care Act in 2015 [HealthHappens]The State Library has made revisions to its guide, Libraries and Cover Oregon, which is now entitled Libraries and the Affordable Care Act in Oregon. Cover Oregon continues to provide assistance to 2014 enrollees and can help your patrons sign up for health insurance through the federal HealthCare.gov site for 2015. The 2015 enrollment period is open from November 15, 2014 - February 15, 2015. The revised guide continues to provide links to training opportunities and resources available to libraries as they support health insurance enrollment activities. If you need some inspiration for programming ideas, check out the Health Happens in Libraries site. It provides resources and a forum for sharing library stories from across the country. Deanne Smith Retires [Deanne]Stacks and Student Worker Coordinator Deanne Smith retired at the end of November, ending a 30-year career at the State Library. Deanne began her tenure in Acquisitions, filing and typing order forms with six carbon copies. She later moved to Cataloging, where she first processed books, then cataloged Oregon and Federal documents. While she has continued some cataloging duties, most recently she has also been Stacks and Student Worker Coordinator. In fact, Deanne has worked with 14 students workers. While some did not stay long, some have stayed several years. (Former student workers Joel Henderson and Erich Peppler are now permanent employees in the Talking Book and Braille Library). Over the years, Deanne has seen many changes at the library. Technology and the internet are the major changes she mentioned. But some things have stayed the same, she says, especially "the dedication of the reference librarians to go above and beyond to provide the best customer service to our patrons." Most staff members are known for one particular talent or ability, and Deanne is no exception. Her ability to find mis-shelved items is amazing, and she says it's also her favorite task: "I love the challenge!" While she has enjoyed most of the tasks she's performed, she says she won't miss "...is dealing with the dirt and the dust from books that haven't moved off the shelf in 20+ years." Nor will she miss meetings. She will, however, miss her co-workers. "I have worked with many wonderful people over the years," she says. Her co-workers, of course, will miss her. For her retirement, Deanne is planning on volunteer work, perhaps with Salem Friends of Felines or Marion-Polk Food Share. She and her husband, former OSL reference librarian Craig Smith, are planning travel to Alaska and Hawaii. And she will be spending more time with their three Maine coon cats. "Sleeping in is also on my list of things to do," she says, "that is, if my cats will let me." Please Take the Digital Inclusion Survey of Public Libraries If your library has not yet finished or responded to the ALA et al., please take the Digital Inclusion Survey! At this time, the number of libraries that have finished the survey in Oregon are not enough to guarantee the researches will give us any data analysis, graphs, etc. They do a great job of data presentation. The survey results are really used to get and keep libraries in discussions about broadband and more. If you have taken the survey, thanks!

Today, President Obama exercised his legal authority to issue an executive order that will provide temporary relief to as many as 5 million undocumented people currently residing in the U.S. ?Today, the president has changed the lives of millions of people,? said LULAC National Executive Director Brent Wilkes. ?Students can go to school without fear that their parents will be deported and parents can go to work without fear of being separated from their families. More young people will be allowed to work legally and contribute to the only country they know as home. By taking executive action, the president has answered the will of the American people. Today's executive order not only does right by the families of countless Latinos, and will also serve to benefit our economy.? LULAC expects Congress to follow President Obama's lead. The president has acted through executive order but the country still needs comprehensive immigration reform to address other key immigration challenges. It is a need that the American people clearly recognize. In fact, in the last election, polls showed that over 81 percent of Americans want Congress to address immigration reform. Other polls showed that at least 57 percent of Americans thought there should be a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants. Such reforms would benefit families and the economy. According to some estimates, every year that Congress fails to pass immigration reform measures such as H.R. 15, the country loses out on $15.8 billion in potential economic gains per year ? which translates to $1.3 billion a month, and $43 million a day. If, however, the Republican lead Congress chooses simply to continue its anti-immigrant discourse, it will only succeed in alienating the majority of Americans who favor such reforms. President Obama is not the first American president to use his executive authority to address immigration challenges. In 1986, President Reagan used his executive authority to grant legal status to an estimated 3 million immigrants. President Bush later used the same authority to include the spouses and children of those who were legalized under the 1986 reform. ?Presidents Reagan and Bush stood for family values which included the immigrant population - a view that is clearly not held by today?s anti-immigrant politicians,? continued Wilkes. ?And now, President Obama has cemented his legacy as the family values president by taking action that puts the unification of families at the top of his agenda.? LULAC has developed a number of resources in order to provide assistance to immigrant community. Specifically, in the coming weeks, LULAC will host a livestream seminar with key agencies providing information about the application process for the referenced programs. Those who need assistance are also urged to call 1- 877-585-2201 where LULAC staff are available to answer questions. Further, through its Hispanic Immigrant Integration Program, LULAC provides assistance with immigration applications. Lastly, members can go here for more information. The application process for the effected programs has yet to be provided by the Department of Homeland Security. Until then LULAC urges the immigrant community to beware of unscrupulous actors posing as attorneys by calling themselves ?notarios? and demanding payment for immigration services. Since the provisions outlined by the president are extensions of an existing program (DACA), we know which forms are most likely be requested. LULAC suggests that the immigrant community have the following documents available: * Affidavits from community-based or religious organizations to establish a requestor?s homelessness or lack of parental or other familial financial support; * Copies of tax returns, bank statements, pay stubs, or other reliable evidence of income level. Evidence can also include an affidavit from the applicant or a responsible third party attesting that the applicant does not file tax returns, has no bank accounts, and/or has no income to prove income level; * Copies of medical records, insurance records, bank statements, or other reliable evidence of unreimbursed medical expenses of at least $10,000. ________________________________ [Image removed by sender.] [Image removed by sender.] [Image removed by sender.] ________________________________ This email was sent to: ramontrane at gmail.com Click here to unsubscribe from email sent by LULAC.

The IMLS National Leadership Grants for Libraries program invests $12 million annually in projects that improve professional library and archive practice, drive innovation, and have a national impact. This year, IMLS offered two opportunities to apply for FY 2015 National Leadership Grants for Libraries. This NOFO announces the February 2, 2015 deadline and is a call for two-page preliminary proposals. From the proposals, we will select applicants and invite them to submit full proposals in June. Applicants who were not invited to continue from the first round of funding are welcome to submit new preliminary proposals during this round.

Note: the program cannot support the digitization of content. * Learning spaces in libraries, including work that builds institutional capacity, develops STEM learning, engages community, and encourages partnerships to support all types of learning and inquiry, including participatory and hands-on learning in libraries. Please see the NOFO for more information about the types of activities can be funded under the project categories. Getting Your Questions Answered IMLS staff members are available by phone and email to discuss general issues relating to the National Leadership Grants for Libraries program.

Entry forms and guidelines are available online: http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/youthsvcs/aboutlit.aspx. Thanks, Jen Jennifer Maurer School Library Consultant Oregon State Library From: Libs-Or [mailto:libs-or-bounces at listsmart.osl.state.or.us] On Behalf Of Jennifer Maurer Sent: Monday, September 08, 2014 4:15 PM To: libs-or at listsmart.osl.state.or.us Subject: [Libs-Or] Letters About Literature Has Begun => Reading & Writing Contest for 4th - 12th Graders [LALimage2014.png] Letters About Literature is a national reading and writing contest sponsored by the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress (LOC) and by Oregon's equivalent at the State Library. Students write letters to any author explaining how that author's book changed their way of thinking about the world or themselves. Please help promote this program, including among homeschoolers. The LOC asks teachers and parents to allow students to choose a book that is meaningful to them and asks students to explain *why* or *how* the book was significant to them instead of summarizing the plot. The focus of a participant's letter is to make clear the connection one has with a book. Here's what Lynette Gottlieb, a teacher in Corvallis, had to say about the contest: Letters about Literature was a completely positive experience for my students...importantly, some of my students who do not identify as writers, and do not generally enjoy the experience, were able to write about something meaningful to them and participate in an inclusive contest that also recognized them...the process connects them to the human experience of literature. It supports my English classroom where I give students choice about reading whenever possible and teach that literature and writing are first and foremost about communication. There are three competition levels: Level I for 4th-6th graders, Level II for 7th-8th graders, and Level III for 9th-12th graders. Oregon's three winners - one from each competition level - will go on to compete nationally. Entry forms and guidelines are available online. All Level III entries must be postmarked by December 15, 2014 and Level I and Level II entries by January 15, 2015. Last year, about 1,040 students in Oregon entered the contest, and 1 in 8 received cash prizes or bookstore gift certificates. These prizes are made possible through support from the national Center for the Book, Oregon Reading Association, and three divisions of the Oregon Library Association: Oregon Association of School Libraries, Children's Services Division, and Young Adult Network. Thanks for passing along the information to teachers and encouraging them to participate. Please note that this is likely the last year that the State Library will coordinate the program because of changes within the agency. State Library staff members are working to find a new home for Letters About Literature. However, if no organization takes it on, this could be the program's last year in Oregon. Questions? Please ask.

View the conference program at: http://onlinenorthwest.org/2015-program/ Mita Williams, User Experience Librarian at the University of Windsor, will start off the day with her keynote presentation: Teach for America. Code for America. Librarianing for America. The motto for Code for America is "a new kind of public service". The motto of CrisisCommons is "we help connect people to help those in need". This talk is not going to dwell on the matter that librarians lack a good word - much less an official motto - to describe the work we do. Instead, a case will be made for a new program to be designed to get more librarians working within more organizations in more communities. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

At least, we think it does. As library professionals, we see the impacts of programming every day. But without sufficient data, how can we quantify the effects of this growing area of library service? Without in-depth study of field, how can we build upon one another's good work? *For the past year, the American Library Association's Public Programs Office has been working with a team of advisors on a first-of-its-kind research initiative: the National Impact of Library Public Programs Assessment (NILPPA) . We are writing today to request your feedback on this work.* Funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), NILPPA seeks to understand the characteristics, audiences, outcomes, and impacts of library programming. The project seeks to answer many questions, including: - What counts as "success" in library programming? - What impact does programming have on participants and communities? - What skills must programming librarians hone to maximize impact and reach underserved communities? With our first year of NILPPA funding, ALA and our research partners analyzed data and interviewed dozens of librarians. The result is a white paper summarizing the status, concerns, and opportunities in library programming. We hope to obtain funding to continue this research in far greater depth; this white paper, coupled with your feedback, will form the basis for our next steps. *Please take a few moments to peruse NILPPA's initial findings and comment about how you or your library approach programming.* Throughout the white paper, you will find question prompts, including: - What training, if any, have you received in the area of library programming? - What are your library's greatest strengths and weaknesses in regard to programming? - What has been your most successful/unsuccessful collaboration, and why? Read and comment on the white paper at NILPPA.org . Your answers will not only add to an important conversation in the library field, but will also help us refine our strategy and demonstrate a need for further NILPPA research and funding. Thank you in advance for your thoughtful participation. If you have any questions or would like to discuss this work, please contact us at publicprograms at ala.org . Sincerely, Mary Davis Fournier Deputy Director, ALA Public Programs Office PS. Please forward this email to your colleagues, particularly those involved in library programming. -- Jane Corry Youth Librarian-Belmont Neighborhood Library Multnomah County Library 503.988.5382 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In response, American Library Association (ALA) President Courtney Young released the following statement: "Connecting America?s libraries with high-capacity broadband connects our communities with opportunity and changes lives. Sometimes the government?s words are far greater than their actions?today is not one of those times. The Commission?s action is monumental and will make a critical difference for the libraries and schools in our nation, and even more importantly for the communities and students they serve. "Today marks the culmination of more than 18 months of ALA?s extensive and unwavering advocacy on behalf of libraries across the country in connection with the FCC?s E-rate proceeding. In this proceeding, ALA advocated, among other things, that the FCC must address both the lack of affordable high-capacity broadband for the majority of libraries and the long-term funding shortage of the E-rate program. "We are very pleased that the Commission, as ALA recommended, has removed restrictions that have prevented many libraries from getting the broadband they so desperately need. In addition, we applaud the Commission for recognizing our concerns regarding the funding shortage. Today, the FCC confirmed that it will add an additional *$1.5 billion* to the yearly program for libraries and schools. "We congratulate the Commission for completing what amounts to re-engineering a 20th century telecommunications program and, after strategic review, reassembling it to make sure libraries can build and maintain the cutting edge networks that are the foundation for 21st century education, employment and entrepreneurship, community engagement, and individual empowerment?what is known as *The E?s of Libraries*?. "There are countless examples of the transformative impact of investing in library broadband. These include everything from a Maine library?s virtual field trips with the Smithsonian Museums to a patron Skyping for a job interview at the Omaha Public Library (NE). In another example, using the video conferencing available at the library in Sitka, Alaska, an adoptive parent was able to train for over six hours with doctors, nurses, and medical company specialists regarding her foster son's medical conditions. Going to Anchorage or Seattle was not an option as this parent is also an adoptive mother to 12 other children, all with disabilities. "ALA warmly thanks the Commission for its strong leadership throughout the modernization proceeding in identifying a clear path to closing the broadband gap for libraries and schools and ensuring a sustainable E-rate program. Through the vision of Chairman Wheeler and commitment of the Commissioners and FCC staff to tackling numerous difficult issues, the E-rate program is well equipped for the future. "ALA thanks the E-rate Task Force and our many partners, especially Alan Fishel, partner at Arent Fox and senior counsel to ALA?s Office for Information Technology Policy, who provided expertise that shaped our advocacy at the Commission. They were invaluable in raising the profile of libraries in this proceeding. "Today?s vote coupled with the previous order brings ALA?s vision of a 21st century E-rate program for libraries to fruition. We?re rolling up our sleeves and look forward to the work ahead in making sure libraries in every state can take advantage of this unprecedented opportunity." Fast facts on library broadband usage: - Only 2% of libraries are at the FCC?s 1 gigabit goal. - Half of all libraries report speeds of 10Mbps or less?only 10% of the goal. - 1 in 5 rural libraries still report a 1.5Mbps connection. - Two thirds of all libraries report they want to increase their broadband capacity. *About the American Library Association* The American Library Association is the oldest and largest library association in the world, with approximately 55,000 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.

[IMLS logo] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE December 18, 2014 IMLS Press Contact Giuliana Bullard 202-653-4799 gbullard at imls.gov LOC Press Contact Jennifer Gavin 202-707-1940 jgav at loc.gov LOC Press Contact Susan Manus 202-707-3741 sman at loc.gov Application Period Opens for 2015 National Digital Stewardship Residency Program Washington, DC?The Library of Congress and the Institute of Museum and Library Services announce the official open call for applications for the 2015 National Digital Stewardship Residency, to be held in the Washington, D.C. area. Applications opened Dec. 17 and will close on January 30, 2015. To apply, go to the official USAJobs link at https://www.usajobs.gov/GetJob/ViewDetails/389615400. For the 2015-16 class, five residents will be chosen for a 12-month residency at a prominent institution in the Washington, D.C. area. The residency will begin in June, 2015, with an intensive week-long digital stewardship workshop at the Library of Congress. Thereafter, each resident will move to his or her designated host institution to work on a significant digital stewardship project. These projects will allow them to acquire hands-on knowledge and skills involving the collection, selection, management, long-term preservation, and accessibility of digital assets. The five institutions, and the projects they will offer to NDSR residents, are: * The District of Columbia Public Library: Personal Digital Preservation Access and Education through the Public Library * The Government Publishing Office: Preparation for Audit and Certification of GPO?s FDsys as a Trustworthy Digital Repository * The American Institute of Architects: Building Curation into Records Creation: Developing a Digital Repository Program at the American Institute of Architects * The U.S. Senate Historical Office: Improving Digital Stewardship in the U.S. Senate * The National Library of Medicine: NLM-Developed Software as Cultural Heritage The inaugural class of the NDSR was held in Washington, D.C. in 2013-14. Host institutions for that class included Association of Research Libraries, the Dumbarton Oaks Research Library, the Folger Shakespeare Library, the Library of Congress, the University of Maryland, the National Library of Medicine, the National Security Archive, the Public Broadcasting Service, the Smithsonian Institution Archives and the World Bank. ?We are excited to be collaborating with such dynamic host institutions for the second NDSR residency class in Washington, D.C.,? said Library of Congress Supervisory Program Specialist George Coulborne. ? In collaboration with the hosts, we look forward to developing the most engaging experience possible for our residents. Last year?s residents all found employment in fields related to digital stewardship or went on to pursue higher degrees. We hope to replicate that outcome with this class of residents, as well as build bridges between the host institutions and the Library of Congress to advance digital stewardship.? "At IMLS we are delighted to continue our work on and funding support for the second round of the NDSR," said Maura Marx, IMLS Deputy Director for Library Services. "We welcome the new hosts and look forward to welcoming the new residents to all the opportunities this program presents." To qualify, applicants must have a master?s degree or higher academic credential, graduating between spring 2013 and spring 2015, with a strong interest in digital stewardship. Currently enrolled doctoral students also are encouraged to apply. Applicants must submit a detailed resume and cover letter, their undergraduate and graduate transcripts, three letters of recommendation, and a creative video that explains an applicant?s interest in the program. Visit the NDSR application website at digitalpreservation.gov/ndsr/applicationinfo.html for more information. The residents chosen for NDSR 2015 will be announced by early April 2015. For additional information and updates regarding the National Digital Stewardship Residency, please see the program website at digitalpreservation.gov/ndsr. The Office of Strategic Initiatives, part of the Library of Congress, oversees the NDSR for the Library and directs the overall digital strategic planning for the Library and the national program for long-term preservation of digital cultural assets, leading a collaborative institution-wide effort to develop consolidated digital future plans, and integrating the delivery of information technology services.

The agency?s website users are important stakeholders in inspiring libraries and museums to advance innovation, lifelong learning, and cultural and civic engagement. In order to achieve this mission, we are looking for input on ways to improve the IMLS website. In accordance with the President?s May 23, 2012 memorandum, Building a 21st Century Digital Government, IMLS continues to develop its digital services and use emerging technologies to serve the public as effectively as possible. The agency?s website is one of the primary public sources of information about IMLS. The redesign effort will help us ensure the quality and accessibility of our online information, publish content in open formats, make our content searchable, use analytics to improve customer experience, and optimize the site for mobile use. We want to know more about our current website visitors, and how they use www.imls.gov, in order to build a website that best meets their needs. We are asking for input into the website redesign via an online survey, which we estimate will take 10 minutes to complete. The survey will remain open through January 9, 2015. Click here to take the 10-minute survey. Please note: IMLS will use responses gathered through these data collections only to inform the redesign of the IMLS website. We will not publish nor make publicly available any of the data gathered through this collection (OMB clearance 3137-0081; Exp. 7/31/17).

From: Correal, Dubis (CFPB) [mailto:Dubis.Correal at cfpb.gov] Sent: Friday, December 19, 2014 8:45 AM To: Correal, Dubis (CFPB) Cc: Correal, Dubis (CFPB) Subject: Three reasons to promote post-holiday financial literacy January is a great time to promote financial education in the library. There are several reasons why. First is the holiday money hangover. People tend to overspend and rely on credit or deplete savings to buy gifts, travel, or do whatever else it takes to make the season bright. But just as the New Year confetti is swept away, the December bills start arriving. Second is New Year resolutions. Financial resolutions are very popular, and many people will start to investigate how to invest, save smarter, or get out of debt. Third is tax season. Toward the end of January, tax forms will start arriving in mailboxes and people will reflect on how much they've earned, review how their money performed, and plan for their refunds. One of our December program ideas focuses on debt reduction, which will give you some content and contact ideas to help you get started. You can also review past program ideas, and view our training webinars so you can be ready to help your patrons. Money Smart Week, April 18-25 If your library is new to financial education, Money Smart Week is a good way to kick things off. The campaign offers a number of resources, partner information and event ideas. Last year more than 1,000 libraries participated in Money Smart Week. The CFPB is a national Money Smart week Partner, and the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago is a partner in our Community Financial Education Program. Learn more at moneysmartweek.org. CFPB director touts library program's success On December 5, we traveled to the Columbus Metropolitan Library to train library staff and community partners from central Ohio on the CFPB's Community Financial Education Program. The Columbus Library is one of the nine original partners that helped us develop the program. We were also joined by the Bureau's director, Richard Cordray, who calls Columbus home, and whose financial education relationship with the Columbus Library dates back to his time as Franklin County Treasurer. Director Cordray spoke about the success of the program - the success all of you have helped us build - and later told a reporter that he was "astonished" by the program's rapid growth and how much libraries across the country have embraced financial education. Contact us if you would like to hold a regional training in your library. Free print marketing materials available for order Posters, bookmarks, and displays can now be ordered and delivered to your library free of charge. Visit our Free Print Materials page to order up to 1,000 copies of each item.

Even with today?s move to digital everything, for a small town, the local paper still provides that local information like obituaries, events and such that may or may not be recorded anywhere else. From the last e-mail from UO, it sounds like we?ll know more in mid January, but in the meantime, we?ll be keeping copies of our paper both to bind and to digitize. I?m hoping all Oregon newspapers will be digitized from 2015 on to replace the microfilm copies we?ve all been buying. How we?ll purchase access to those digitized files and if they are subscriptions that we have to pay each year for access (and we?re at the whim of the provider) or will we own those digitized copies. I would love to digitize our old papers, but I really more concerned right now with not wanting to lose the historic value of the current paper.

A stash of papers was found in between the preliminary LSTA proposal and the final LSTA proposal, and refilming created a much better set of microfilm and therefor a better product of digitization. If you're interested in that process, see the blog message from the time: http://odnp.wordpress.com/2013/11/21/newspaper-image-quality-and-oregon-city-history/ Regardless, Dan, you could contact Sheila Rabun at the ODNP for some information.
