We are recruiting a new lead worker for the Courier Program. The application period will be open February 1 to February 14. This is a full-time position and the pay range is $20.55 to $24.98 per hour. The Senior LA for Courier plays an important role in assuring timely and accurate delivery of materials between member libraries and shipment of interlibrary loans. Attached is a brief description of the position. More detailed information, the application and required supplementary questions are available on the Washington County website: http://agency.governmentjobs.com/cowashingtonor/default.cfm. This would be an excellent opportunity for someone looking for a responsible position with supervisory duties, manage a variety of tasks, and work with the delivery team to assure that materials flow between libraries quickly and efficiently. It's never dull at Courier! On any given day, you could be sorting materials in taskets, filling OCLC ILL requests, driving and loading a Courier delivery truck, managing "sizzler" items to fill patron holds, or dealing with any number of things that pop up in a seven-day-per-week operation that picks up and delivers nearly 8 million items a year. Courier trucks covered almost 62,000 miles last year to deliver materials to member libraries! The Courier program operates out of leased warehouse space next to the Hillsboro Airport. The space is shared with the Interlibrary Loan staff. Because it is a separate facility the Supervisor must be independent and capable of working without direct supervision. Washington County provides a competitive salary and benefits package. WCCLS provides work uniform shirts and a shoe allowance for Courier staff, and we support continuing education and training for all WCCLS staff. Come join our team!

At Talking Book and Braille Services we have created a one sheet document to help you talk about Talking Books when questions arise. I like to think of this as an extended brochure-what we'd really love to stuff into a single tri-fold if keeping people's interest was no object! I have included the text below for easy reference, but the attached document has our contact information, logo, letterhead, etc. It's something you can distribute to coworkers or community members. There is no wrong way to share this document. Please feel free to call or email with any questions you may have about Talking Books-any time! Regards, Elke 503-578-5455 (direct) elke.bruton at state.or.us 503-378-5389 (general Talking Books line) tbabs.info at state.or.us (general assistance) See attached document for printable version *********************************************************************** How to Talk About Talking Books Talking Book and Braille Services is a FREE library that loans books and magazines in special formats to people who cannot see standard print, cannot hold a book, or have a physically based reading disability. But what does that really mean? H Here is a handy guide to help you talk about Talking Books! About the Library * Talking Books are not JUST for blind people. The library is available to people who suffer from physical disabilities or illnesses that prevent them from holding a book, sitting up for periods of time, or turning the pages of a book. * Our library serves people of ALL ages. Our youngest user is 3 years old and our oldest is 104...and we have books for all tastes and interest levels! * Talking Books are completely FREE. There is no charge for the books, the talking book player, or the postage to mail the books back to the library. * Talking Books is located at the Oregon State Library in Salem. The library serves all eligible Oregonians by shipping books through the US Postal Service. Books and Equipment * What kind of books does the library have? All kinds! Our library has the same books that are found in your public library. * All audio books in the library are narrated by professional voice-over actors. * The library has over 35,000 books in audio and 12,000 in Braille with over 100 new books added each month. * When books go out in the mail how do you know what to send? The main way that our users get books is by telling us what subjects and authors they like. They can even tell us subjects they don't want. We call it "auto-selection." Users can also get books by giving us lists of requests. Any time a request is available, it will go out ahead of an "auto-selected" book. * The audio books require special playback equipment-but that is provided by the library for free on "extended loan." * What happens if the books get lost in the mail? If the books are lost or damaged just call the library-there is no charge for lost or damaged materials. * What about the player? Same thing applies-call the library and they will replace the player right away. * By the way, all books have a 6-week loan period and there are no fines for overdue books. * In addition to audio and Braille books, Talking Books loans audio magazines and videos. * Talking Books also provides access to downloadable books (BARD), NFB-NEWSLINE (newspapers by phone), and the League of Women Voters voters' guide (during major elections). Registration * How does a person get signed up for Talking Books? The process is very easy. Just fill out an application for service and have the last page signed by nurse, doctor, librarian, therapist, activity director, social worker, or teacher. * If you are not sure who qualifies to sign an application for somebody, call us and ask! 800-452-0292. * Return the signed application to Talking Books. We will contact you to confirm, process the application, and put a player and a couple of books in the mail to get you started. Downloadable Books (BARD) * BARD stands for the Braille and Audio Reading Download. * All of the audio books (and most of the Braille books) provided by our library are available for on-demand download. * Download the books to a flash drive for use with the player provided, or use the BARD Mobile app on your iOS mobile device (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch). * This part of our library is also FREE. History * The Library of Congress started (what would become) the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (NLS) in 1931 after the Pratt-Smoot Act was passed. * This library has existed in Oregon since 1932; one year after the NLS began creating regional libraries across the country. * The library was originally called Books for the Blind and was provided by the Multnomah County Library System until 1969 when it was joined with the Oregon State Library. * Talking Book and Braille Services is a joint partnership between the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped and the Oregon State Library.

The SJSU information school recently added a new career pathway in digital curation for its Post-Master 's Certificate program students. A similar career pathway will be available starting in fall 2014 for graduate students enrolled in the school's fully online and ALA-accredited Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) program. Both programs' pathways incorporate courses recently added to the school's curriculum, including two foundation courses: Digital Curation; and Tools, Services, and Methodologies for Digital Curation. Courses in the digital curation pathway will introduce students to an emerging field within the information profession. Lecturer Alyce Scott , faculty advisor for the new digital curation pathway in the fully online Post-Master 's Certificate program, says the field surrounding digital data is growing and information professionals are a perfect fit to fill the role of digital curator. "Digital data is here to stay, and there will continue to be a growing need for people with the training necessary to manage it," said Scott. Information professionals who work in digital curation have job titles like digital preservation manager, digital curation archivist, data research scientist, and curation tools and services developer. Scott encourages individuals who may want to pursue a career in digital curation to look at job descriptions in the digital and data curation field to see if the skills required are of interest to them. For example, typical job descriptions seek individuals with skills in technical development of digital resources; managing digital repositories; managing activities to preserve digitized materials; and overseeing technical standards for image, audio, and video digitization projects. The SJSU information school's career pathways are tools MLIS students can use to choose electives and start their career planning. On the school's web pages explaining each of the 13 pathways, students can find out more about what they can expect to learn if they choose courses in that pathway, recommended coursework, and possible employment opportunities after graduation. The school is currently accepting applications for admission in fall 2014. The deadline to apply for the MLIS program is April 1, and the deadline to apply for the Post-Master 's Certificate program is June 25. Fall courses begin on August 25, 2014. About SJSU SLIS The San Jose State University School of Library and Information Science (SJSU SLIS) prepares individuals for professional careers in the information professions. SJSU SLIS offers the following online educational programs : . Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) . Teacher Librarian Program . Master of Archives and Records Administration (MARA) .

As part of The Day We Fight Back , thousands of websites will host banners urging people to call Congress to stop mass surveillance. You can use ALA's legislative action center and library text alerts to call in to members of your congressional delegation to urge them to vote for reforms such as those in the USA FREEDOM Act (S.1599 and H.R.3361) and other reform proposals. Tuesday ALA will send out a blast email to ALA members with instructions and a basic message to help you contact your senators and representatives. Please push other friends and colleagues to do the same. We want to flood the Congressional switchboards. ALA is making this effort because of the library community's long standing commitment to privacy, starting with the protection of patron library records. Grassroots support from ALA has meant a lot to the reform attempts since passage of the USA PATRIOT Act in 2001. Now with public knowledge about the extensive surveillance of telephone records and other revelations, there is an opportunity get some real reforms to the surveillance system. That is why we need our library voices to express the need for ending mass surveillance, bring due process to the FISA court process and rationality to the collection and retention of data about millions of people.

To: Cc: Dear Fight for the Future member, Today is the day we fight back against NSA spying -- and it's already huge. 30,000 people have already called their lawmakers and 75,000 have sent emails! #StopTheNSA has been trending on twitter since this morning. Now is the time! Click here to take action to stop the NSA. Since even before Snowden blew the whistle on the NSA, we've been building a movement to defend Internet users from abusive government surveillance and protect free speech online. Thousands of websites are joining today's protest to demand an end to dragnet government spying -- we've even raised the Internet Defense League's "Cat Signal."Just like when we defeated SOPA, grassroots activists are leading the charge but many large websites are jumping on board to help. We're making history today. A quick glance at the organizations and companies listed on TheDayWeFightBack.orgmakes it clear that something epic is happening. On any other day, if you simply call or email your legislators, your voice may be lost -- drowned out amidst all the other issues called in on that day. But if you take action today -- your call or email will be counted among tens of thousands melting phones and inboxes in Washington, DC -- you'll be part of the history that we're making today -- the day we fight back. Click here to take urgent action to stop NSA spying. For years, the NSA and a host of other government agencies have exploited secret legal interpretations to undermine our privacy rights -- chilling free speech and activism, and subverting the very underpinnings of our democracy itself. We are demanding that decision makers remedy this by: - Passing the USA FREEDOM Act, which would move us in the right direction and end some of the spying. - Defeating the so-called "FISA Improvements Act", Sen. Dianne Feinstein's bill that would entrench -- and potentially expand the NSA's power. - Creating additional privacy protections for people living outside the U.S. - Ending the NSA's subversion of encryption and other data security measures. Today we draw a line in the sand. Will you help us stop the NSA's assault on freedom? Thanks team! After the dust settles from today's epic protest, we'll be in touch about the next steps. We've got big plans for this spring that will push this movement forward and ruin the NSA's entire summer. Stay tuned. For the Internet, -Tiffiniy, Holmes, and Evan Fight for the Future P.S.

Message-ID: <52FA38980200004500027EBD@GWGate.cityofsalem.net> Oregon Library Association's Children's Services Division is sponsoring the Eleventh Showcase of Performers. Previous showcases have provided librarians, parks and recreation staff, teachers and others who schedule children's programs the opportunity to see first hand a wide variety of performing artists. Feedback from performers has also been tremendously positive because the showcase enables them to display their talents before many prospective "buyers" at one time. The Showcase will be held at Salem Public Library from 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 27, 2014. You are invited to showcase your work for interested librarians and teachers. Each performer will be given only five minutes to demonstrate a representative sampling of his or her work. Your preference for a desired time slot may be designated on the information sheet and I will do my best to honor your preference. There will be some table space available in the lobby area in back of the auditorium for brochures or fliers and for attendees and performers to meet and visit. If you are interested in attending the Showcase, contact Karen Fischer, Salem Public Library Youth Services Manager at kfischer at cityofsalem.net or by calling (503) 588-6039.

Publishing Historical Records Online: Transition Support - projects to assist print-only documentary editions and documentary editions available only through paid subscriptions to complete their projects and/or provide free online access. State Board Programming Grants - projects by state historical records advisory boards to enhance access to historical records, increase citizen engagement with records, and provide learning and development opportunities for students, citizens and professional archivists. State Government Electronic Records -- projects to accession, describe, preserve, and provide access to state government electronic records of enduring value. We welcome your comments on the announcements on Annotation. In addition, each post includes information on webinars about these new programs that we will hold between February 19-26.

Chicago: ALA, 2014. 025.587 Quali ISBN 978-0-8389-1173-0 A library's infrastructure of programs and personnel is its most valuable asset, providing the foundation for everything it does and aspires to do, which is why assessment is so vitally important. In this collection of case studies, Murphy and her team of contributors describe how quality assessment programs have been implemented and how they are used to continuously improve service at a complete cross-section of institutions. This volume looks at how a program was established within a library organization, the individual roles for staff participating in the program, and singles out which activities and projects were most successful. Describes programs such as the Baldrige Criteria for Performance Excellence, Lean Six Sigma, and ISO 9001:2000 Examines contexts ranging from a liberal-arts college library to key federal government libraries, to libraries that serve major research universities in the United States and Canada. Summarizing specific tools for measuring service quality alongside tips for using these tools most effectively, this book helps libraries of all kinds take a programmatic approach to measuring, analyzing, and improving library services.

Smallwood has combed the country finding examples of programs implemented by a variety of different types of libraries to enrich, educate, and entertain patrons through the arts. Her book shares such successful efforts as * Poetry programs in the public library * Gatherings for local authors at the community college * Creative writing in middle schools * Multicultural arts presentations at the university library * Initiatives to fight illiteracy through the arts The amazing creativity and resourcefulness found in each example provide practical models which can be adapted to any library environment, inspiring librarians looking for unique programming ideas.

Chicago: ALA, 2014. 022.3 Plann ISBN978-0-8389-12072 In an information environment where the only constant is change, many wonder where libraries are headed. This edited collection brings together library leaders with some of the brightest new minds in the profession to envision the future of libraries. Drawing from their personal experiences, they bring their barrier-breaking perspectives to the task of reinventing the library in all its forms. From redesigning library services for the evolving needs of users, to functioning as a meaningful space in a digital age, implementing new infrastructure, and imagining the international future of school libraries, the contributors ask and answer questions such as: * How do lessons from the past point the way forward? * What should libraries look like in the future? * Which safeguards will protect intellectual freedom, such as equitable access to information and anti-censorship policies, now and in years to come? * How can we overcome obstacles such as feasibility, costs, and competing interests to realize the library of the future? This thought-provoking collection will challenge librarians at every kind of institution to start planning today for the library of tomorrow. [book4.jpg] Vardell, Sylvia M.

I feel smart just saying that word... The S.A.V.V.I.E.S.: A New Tradition from H.A.S. Can we stand one more acronym? Yes, we can! The H.A.S. (Honors, Awards, and Scholarships) Committee exists to recognize outstanding achievement and this happens through a number of awards which are presented each year. However, we know that there are a lot of fabulous successes which happen every year which we could and should be sharing and celebrating. This year we're starting a new tradition and sharing those successes at our annual conference. That?s where SAVVIES comes in: it stands for Shared Achievements Victories Ventures Innovations Endowments and Successes Here's how easy it will be: send us your nomination of a local success (i.e. a children's area expansion, an award from a civic organization, a building project) along with a photo and a little bit of information. We'll combine these successes into a presentation and share with OLA members at the annual conference (i.e. power point at awards luncheon) and post on the web site afterwards. Go ahead-nominate yourself! Nominate a friend who is shy! Go around your director and nominate your library! We want to hear about noteworthiness of all sorts! Send all nominations with a photo and some information to mcole at orcity.org (please use subject line: SAVVIES). Deadline is April 7, 2014. Questions? Same email will get you answers! Flood us with your success stories-we know you have them!

Volunteer to be on a RSS committee! Most of the committees are eager for new members and there's a wide variety of topics to choose from, including several that aren't limited to a strict definition of " traditional reference", such as services to Spanish speaking, YA reference, evaluation, recognition, etc. Most committees meet virtually throughout the year--- even if you can't attend an ALA conference, you can still be involved.

We represent and support library staff providing frontline reference service in public and academic libraries. We are currently inviting new and not-so-new members of RSS to volunteer to lead and serve on committees. The list and information about these committees can be found here: http://www.ala.org/rusa/sections/rss. We are also looking for members to serve as RSS representatives to RUSA-level committees. Serving on an RSS and/or a RUSA committee is a great way to give back to the profession, grow professionally, and network. To get involved, please complete the form here: http://www.ala.org/cfapps/committee/volunteerform.

We welcome attendance from non-Alliance affiliated librarians interested in assessment and library user experience. An un-conference is more democratic and attendee powered than a typical conference. The focus is less on the sage-on-the-stage and more on discussions and informal sharing of ideas. All attendees propose discussion topics they are willing to facilitate and/or lightning talks that they are willing to give then those topics are voted on by the attendees closer to the meeting date. See the LUAU website for additional details. Spacing is very limited. LUAU will be held: April 4, 2014 from 9am to 4pm. White Stag/UO Portland Building 70 NW Couch St Portland, OR Register today! There is no cost to attend, but space is limited. You will: * Propose a topic * Indicate if you will be willing to lead an activity or a talk * Indicate if you are willing to co-present Assessment is a major priority, not only of the Orbis Cascade Alliance (as stated in the new Alliance Strategic Plan) but also of most libraries. An Un-conference offers a professional development opportunity for Alliance members and other library staff. An Un-conference would bring staff from Alliance libraries and area libraries who are interested in library assessment and can learn from each other. This sort of collaboration is at the heart of the Alliance?s mission. The Orbis Cascade Alliance is a consortium of 37 academic libraries in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho, serving faculty and the equivalent of more than 258,000 full-time students. Alliance member libraries work together to provide services to students and faculty, share information resources and expertise, develop library staff, and help members allocate financial and human resources to serve the unique needs of each member. The Alliance supports a number of services that promote this vision, including Summit, a system that allows students, faculty, and staff to easily search and request library materials owned by member libraries; courier service providing delivery of library materials in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho; the Northwest Digital Archives, offering enhanced access to primary sources in the Northwest US; an Alliance distributed print repository; consortium-wide participation in Western Regional Storage Trust (WEST); cooperative purchasing of databases and e-journals; and a demand-driven shared e-book program.

We have a portion of our Code of Conduct that addresses "Disturbing other library patrons or staff through extremely poor personal hygiene." I've never had to enforce it at this library, but I did at my last library. We directed the patron, who was living in her van with three cats, to a shelter that had washing machines that she could use. We forbid smoking and using tobacco products on all of our grounds. It's also a part of our Code of Conduct. It doesn't specifically mention e-cigarettes, although I don't think it would be a far stretch to include e-cigarettes under "smoking". My understanding is that they do release a vapor. Here's a link to our full Code of Conduct: http://www.hoodriverlibrary.org/files/policies/Code%20of%20conduct.pdf Cheers!

[Celebrating 20 Years of the National Medal] Institute of Museum and Library Services Announces 20th Anniversary of National Medal Program Celebrating 20 Years of Outstanding Museums and Libraries Washington, DC?The Institute of Museum and Library Services today announced the 20th Anniversary of its National Medal for Museum and Library Service program, the nation?s highest honor conferred on museums and libraries for service to the community. In the last twenty years, the Institute of Museum and Library Services has recognized 132 institutions for remarkable community programming and resources. ?We are delighted to celebrate this milestone and salute our previous National Medal-winning museums and libraries,? said Susan Hildreth, director of the Institute of Museum and Library Services. ?In the last twenty years, we have seen institutions adapt and innovate to the shifting needs of their communities, helping us to create a nation of learners. We are proud of the role we have been able to play in recognizing and aiding these organizations? service to the public.? The goal of the National Medal Program is to support exceptional institutions whose commitment to their community goes beyond what one expects of a museum or library. To mark this twenty-year milestone, IMLS will spotlight previous winning institutions through a special Share Your Story Facebook campaign. Visit www.facebook.com/USIMLS to view and to share your own stories. ?Receiving the 2009 National Medal for Museum Service was an incredible honor for our organization and a great feather in the cap for our region,? said Elizabeth Pierce, Vice President of Marketing and Communications at the Cincinnati Museum Center. ?We continue to work with elected officials to restore our Union Terminal landmark, and the award is an important tool as we communicate the effectiveness and leadership of our organization. ? ?This recognition was particularly humbling due to the award?s community focus, ? said Dennis Wint, director of The Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, a 2008 winner. ?Although The Franklin Institute already had a public image of being a great family destination and one of the best science museums in the country, receiving the National Medal not only drew public attention to the value of the Institute?s comprehensive and dynamic exhibits and program experiences ? but also to our efforts to welcome our community.? ?At the upcoming Mayoral State of the City address, our National Medal will be one of the highlights of the address,? said Robert Karatsu, the library director of Rancho Cucamonga Public Library in California. ?It is widely acknowledged that the library being awarded the National Medal was perhaps the pre-eminent achievement in the city for 2013.?

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <31D91064-E68F-43B3-A2B6-4A7128C28B8C@gmail.com> Author Josh Hanagarne, AKA ?The World?s Strongest Librarian,? will speak at the Salem Convention Center on Thursday, April 17, at 7:00 pm as the President?s Banquet speaker for the Oregon Library Association?s annual conference. Sponsored by Emerick Construction, the event is open to the public. Tickets, which include dinner, are $35.95 and can be reserved on the Oregon Library Association's website. Josh Hanagarne couldn?t be invisible if he tried. Diagnosed with severe Tourette Syndrome as a freshman in high school, the young 6?7? Mormon underwent everything from quack remedies to lethargy-inducing drug regimes to Botox injections that left him voiceless for three years. Undeterred, Josh persevered to marry, father a son and earn a degree in Library Science. Happily, his struggles with Tourette Syndrome were transformed after an eccentric, autistic strongman taught Hanagarne how to manage his tics through extreme strength training. Today, Josh Hanagarne is a librarian at the main branch of Salt Lake City?s public library. His 2013 memoir The World's Strongest Librarian: A Memoir of Tourette's, Faith, Strength, and the Power of Family illuminates the mysteries of this little-understood disorder, as well as the very different worlds of strongman training and modern libraries. With humor and candor, this unlikely hero traces his journey to overcome his disability? and navigate his Mormon faith?to find love and create a life worth living. Hanagarne?s appearance is a feature of the Oregon Library Association?s annual conference, which attracts over 400 participants annually from libraries throughout Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Library Association provides advocacy, education, leadership and collaboration to continually strengthen Oregon?s libraries and the communities they serve.

I?m afraid we have to wait for the state legislature to act, and they?ve already pushed it aside once. I think the real issue for most of us is that kids don?t necessarily understand the difference between the real thing and an electronic one, and it?s not a behavior we want them to see and model. Realistically you can either (a) ban them and wait for a complaint to see if it holds up, (b)treat them as a tobacco product, enforce the no smoking policy, and wait for a complaint to see if it holds up, or (c) allow them but politely ask patrons to consider their surroundings and voluntarily abstain. We?re leaning toward (b) or (c). Colin M.

I've never had to enforce it at this library, but I did at my last library. We directed the patron, who was living in her van with three cats, to a shelter that had washing machines that she could use. We forbid smoking and using tobacco products on all of our grounds. It's also a part of our Code of Conduct. It doesn't specifically mention e-cigarettes, although I don't think it would be a far stretch to include e-cigarettes under "smoking". My understanding is that they do release a vapor. Here's a link to our full Code of Conduct: http://www.hoodriverlibrary.org/files/policies/Code%20of%20conduct.pdf Cheers!

The first has to do with patrons with personal hygiene challenges. Do you have a policy that deals with this, and if so, what is your policy? Do you offer any resources to these patrons as far as someplace they could go to shower/bathe and/or get their clothes washed? The second has to do with e-cigarettes. Do you have a policy that addresses them? If so, what is it? What about chewing tobacco? Do you lump all tobacco-related issues into one blanket policy, or are they separate?

The State Library and Reimagining Ready to Read task force are looking for feedback from the Oregon library community on a proposal for a public library youth services grant that would replace the existing Ready to Read Grant program. These are the only state funds public libraries in Oregon receive. The purpose of changing the grant program is to better align the distribution of state funds with state education initiatives and library youth services best practices. Please read the attached draft grant proposal, application, and report form carefully before taking this survey (https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/GrantProposalALL) to provide your feedback by Tuesday, March 4th. This is not a quick task and the survey must be completed in one session so please plan your time appropriately. I recommend reading the documents one day, thinking about them for a day or two, and then quickly reviewing the documents again before taking the survey another day. If you don't work in youth services or for a library that currently receives a Ready to Read Grant, then just skip the questions you don't feel you can answer. We would really like your feedback on how the new grant aligns with education initiatives and how the State Library may distribute state funds to public libraries. Here are a few additional documents that may be helpful: * The State Library's public library youth services best practices: http://orysbestpractices.wordpress.com/ * OLA's Children's Services Division Youth Services Guidelines: http://www.olaweb.org/assets/documents/csd_guidelines.pdf * OLA's Oregon Association of School Libraries' Oregon School Library Standards for information literacy: https://sites.google.com/site/oregonschoollibrarystandards/ * The Governor's 40-40-20 Education Goal: http://www.oregon.gov/gov/oeib/docs/nnousreport.pdf * The Oregon Education Investment Board's Equity Lens: http://www.ode.state.or.us/superintendent/priorities/final-equity-lens-draft-adopted.pdf * Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts and Literacy: http://www.ode.state.or.us/teachlearn/real/newspaper/Newspaper_Section.aspx?subjectcd=ELA Please contact me, my supervisor Susan Westin (susan.westin at state.or.us), or one of the task force members listed below if you need clarification on anything in the draft proposal, application, or report form before you feel you can provide feedback. Thank you, Katie Anderson Katie Anderson, Library Development Services * Youth Services Consultant * Oregon Center for the Book Coordinator * Oregon State Library, 250 Winter St. NE, Salem, OR 97301 katie.anderson at state.or.us, 503-378-2528 Reimagining Ready to Read project timeline: * January 2014: Convene a task force to develop a proposal to align the Ready to Read Grant with the three library youth services best practices and 40-40-20. * January-March 2014: The task force will seek feedback from the public library community at least once. * April 2014: Submit final proposal to the Oregon State Library's Budget Committee. * June or August 2014: Oregon State Library Board of Trustees approves the State Library's budget and submits it to the Governor's office-the State Library budget will include the proposal. * December 2014: The Governor's budget is released-including the State Library's budget. * Spring 2015: The State Library's budget goes through the regular legislative process. * July 2015: The new grant program will launch, replacing the current Ready to Read Grant program.

I?m afraid we have to wait for the state legislature to act, and they?ve already pushed it aside once. I think the real issue for most of us is that kids don?t necessarily understand the difference between the real thing and an electronic one, and it?s not a behavior we want them to see and model. Realistically you can either (a) ban them and wait for a complaint to see if it holds up, (b)treat them as a tobacco product, enforce the no smoking policy, and wait for a complaint to see if it holds up, or (c) allow them but politely ask patrons to consider their surroundings and voluntarily abstain. We?re leaning toward (b) or (c). Colin M.

I accidently omitted a name off the list of Reimagining Ready to Read task force member. This is especially important information for those of you from academic libraries who may be interested in talking with a task force member about how your perspective was taken into consideration to craft this grant proposal. * Candice Watkins, Clatsop Community College, cwatkins at clatsopcc.edu Katie Anderson, Library Development Services * Youth Services Consultant * Oregon Center for the Book Coordinator * Oregon State Library, 250 Winter St. NE, Salem, OR 97301 katie.anderson at state.or.us, 503-378-2528 From: Katie Anderson Sent: Tuesday, February 18, 2014 11:40 AM To: r2r-or at listsmart.osl.state.or.us; (libs-or at listsmart.osl.state.or.us) Subject: Provide feedback on draft proposal for grant to replace Ready to Read by March 4 Please excuse the cross-posting... The State Library and Reimagining Ready to Read task force are looking for feedback from the Oregon library community on a proposal for a public library youth services grant that would replace the existing Ready to Read Grant program. These are the only state funds public libraries in Oregon receive. The purpose of changing the grant program is to better align the distribution of state funds with state education initiatives and library youth services best practices. Please read the attached draft grant proposal, application, and report form carefully before taking this survey (https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/GrantProposalALL) to provide your feedback by Tuesday, March 4th. This is not a quick task and the survey must be completed in one session so please plan your time appropriately. I recommend reading the documents one day, thinking about them for a day or two, and then quickly reviewing the documents again before taking the survey another day. If you don't work in youth services or for a library that currently receives a Ready to Read Grant, then just skip the questions you don't feel you can answer. We would really like your feedback on how the new grant aligns with education initiatives and how the State Library may distribute state funds to public libraries. Here are a few additional documents that may be helpful: * The State Library's public library youth services best practices: http://orysbestpractices.wordpress.com/ * OLA's Children's Services Division Youth Services Guidelines: http://www.olaweb.org/assets/documents/csd_guidelines.pdf * OLA's Oregon Association of School Libraries' Oregon School Library Standards for information literacy: https://sites.google.com/site/oregonschoollibrarystandards/ * The Governor's 40-40-20 Education Goal: http://www.oregon.gov/gov/oeib/docs/nnousreport.pdf * The Oregon Education Investment Board's Equity Lens: http://www.ode.state.or.us/superintendent/priorities/final-equity-lens-draft-adopted.pdf * Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts and Literacy: http://www.ode.state.or.us/teachlearn/real/newspaper/Newspaper_Section.aspx?subjectcd=ELA Please contact me, my supervisor Susan Westin (susan.westin at state.or.us), or one of the task force members listed below if you need clarification on anything in the draft proposal, application, or report form before you feel you can provide feedback.

The update was in response to several instances of attempted use of e-cigarettes in the library interior and a new Baker City Ordinance No.3322 prohibiting the use of tobacco and tobacco products in the City Park adjacent to the library and other outdoor recreational areas at facilities owned or operated by Baker City. Reasoning: e-cigarettes are disruptive to others? use & enjoyment of the library. The devices are essentially water pipes in which various substances can be used, including nicotine, oils from marijuana, herbs, plants or synthetic products--even illicit drugs. Those substances can create varying degrees of fragrance. The exhaled vapor bears a strong visual resemblance to traditional smoking, causing a disturbance for our non-smoking patrons, and at least one study suggests it does expose others to second-hand chemicals. Secondhand vapor does expose others to chemicals ? 2013. http://ntr.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2013/12/10/ntr.ntt203.short So, to ? maintain a ?safe, clean & welcoming? atmosphere including control of air quality in our buildings, ? avoid having to monitor and supervise smoking activity or pipe (e-cigarette) contents, and ? partner with Baker City to provide a cohesive No Smoking/Tobacco zone in the library & park area, the BCLD board acted to include e-cigarettes under BCLD?s smoking ban. The policy is now in effect in the library interior. Signage was posted last week alerting our users that the policy will become effective on March 1 for the outdoor areas. We?ve also struggled with odors .We needed a policy broad enough to include everything from b.o. & urine-covered clothes/packs to smelly food, stink bombs, and persons doused in Axe body spray or perfume, so changed our line previously about ?poor personal hygiene? to: ?May not?Create a disruptive scent in the library from strong body odor, personal care product, or personal belongings.? It?s no less awkward to enforce, though. -------------------------------- Perry Stokes | Library Director Baker County Library District | 2400 Resort St | Baker City, OR 97814 o: 866-297-1239 | m: 541.403.0450 | f: 541-523-9088 | e: director at bakerlib.org From: Libs-Or [mailto:libs-or-bounces at listsmart.osl.state.or.us] On Behalf Of Kirsten Brodbeck-Kenney Sent: Tuesday, February 18, 2014 12:04 PM To: libs-or at listsmart.osl.state.or.us; Craig Carter Subject: Re: [Libs-Or] 2 library policy questions We just finished revising our Conduct Policy -- so recently that it's not up on the website yet.

They also mention the positive impact on the environment because there will be fewer cigarette butts to pollute the ground. The vapor doesn?t seem to be as much of an issue.

Established by former Watzek Library Director James J. Kopp to commemorate the contributions and legacies of a respected friend, colleague and champion of service, we hope 2014 will be a particularly special event as it is the 15th Anniversary of the Lecture. Please take a moment to review the past presenters on the Sherrer Lecturesite, and consider possible speakers for the Fall 2014 event. Nominations or service-related themes to be sent to elaineghirsch at lclark.edu and are appreciated. We hope that the SherrerMemorial Lecture continues to be an important professional development event for all who attend, and that we will see you at Lewis & Clark this Fall.

The update was in response to several instances of attempted use of e-cigarettes in the library interior and a new Baker City Ordinance No.3322 prohibiting the use of tobacco and tobacco products in the City Park adjacent to the library and other outdoor recreational areas at facilities owned or operated by Baker City. Reasoning: e-cigarettes are disruptive to others? use & enjoyment of the library. The devices are essentially water pipes in which various substances can be used, including nicotine, oils from marijuana, herbs, plants or synthetic products--even illicit drugs. Those substances can create varying degrees of fragrance. The exhaled vapor bears a strong visual resemblance to traditional smoking, causing a disturbance for our non-smoking patrons, and at least one study suggests it does expose others to second-hand chemicals. Secondhand vapor does expose others to chemicals ? 2013. http://ntr.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2013/12/10/ntr.ntt203.short So, to ? maintain a ?safe, clean & welcoming? atmosphere including control of air quality in our buildings, ? avoid having to monitor and supervise smoking activity or pipe (e-cigarette) contents, and ? partner with Baker City to provide a cohesive No Smoking/Tobacco zone in the library & park area, the BCLD board acted to include e-cigarettes under BCLD?s smoking ban. The policy is now in effect in the library interior. Signage was posted last week alerting our users that the policy will become effective on March 1 for the outdoor areas. We?ve also struggled with odors .We needed a policy broad enough to include everything from b.o. & urine-covered clothes/packs to smelly food, stink bombs, and persons doused in Axe body spray or perfume, so changed our line previously about ?poor personal hygiene? to: ?May not?Create a disruptive scent in the library from strong body odor, personal care product, or personal belongings.? It?s no less awkward to enforce, though. -------------------------------- Perry Stokes | Library Director Baker County Library District | 2400 Resort St | Baker City, OR 97814 o: 866-297-1239 | m: 541.403.0450 | f: 541-523-9088 | e: director at bakerlib.org From: Libs-Or [mailto:libs-or-bounces at listsmart.osl.state.or.us] On Behalf Of Kirsten Brodbeck-Kenney Sent: Tuesday, February 18, 2014 12:04 PM To: libs-or at listsmart.osl.state.or.us; Craig Carter Subject: Re: [Libs-Or] 2 library policy questions We just finished revising our Conduct Policy -- so recently that it's not up on the website yet. We have not had any issues with e-cigarettes as of yet, beyond inquiries from staff and volunteers over whether they can be used in the library or in work areas. For staff and volunteers, we include it in policies about professional conduct and the like. For patrons, we have language in our policy about smoking or using tobacco products, as well as language about restrictions on "Consuming or ingesting any food, drink, or any other substance." We feel between the two of these, we could in good faith ask someone not to smoke e-cigarettes in the building if it became a nuisance. My husband actually uses e-cigs, and while most indications are that the vapor is likely much less harmful than cigarette smoke, I do find that the odor of the vapor can become overwhelming in enclosed spaces or in close proximity, especially with some of the brands. Smell-wise, it can sometimes be almost like sitting next to someone who's applying perfume, although it does dissipate quickly. We have elected not to include language about personal hygiene specifically in the policy; instead we include a provision for "behavior that infringes upon the rights of others to enjoy the Library?s principal purpose of education and quiet study." It is our feeling that an egregious example of body odor or heavily applied perfume could fall under this, although we have not applied it in this manner in recent memory. Our biggest issue relating to odors has been a patron who repeatedly returned library items that smelled strongly of cat urine, which we eventually handled as a case of damage to library items.

The first has to do with patrons with personal hygiene challenges. Do you have a policy that deals with this, and if so, what is your policy? Do you offer any resources to these patrons as far as someplace they could go to shower/bathe and/or get their clothes washed? The second has to do with e-cigarettes. Do you have a policy that addresses them? If so, what is it? What about chewing tobacco? Do you lump all tobacco-related issues into one blanket policy, or are they separate? Thanks in advance for your input!

We had a patron here recently carrying (not using) an e-cig and I could definitely smell the residual aroma. Whether or not the by-product is "harmful" doesn't mean it isn't bothersome to others, and just because we agree that something smells pleasant doesn't mean it isn't harmful. As a kid my friends thought gasoline smelled good, while some people hate the smell of cilantro. Working at the circ desk I encounter many people wearing perfume/cologne, shampoos and 'essential oils', real tobacco residue, and even too much laundry detergent in their clothing. Sometimes it's so strong it makes me nauseous. Many of these are chemical (laboratory produced) in origin and all can trigger allergic symptoms - runny nose, itchy eyes, headache, difficulty breathing - in people, who may have no idea what's causing them. (Check out toxicant-induced loss of tolerance, or TILT, at http://discovermagazine.com/2013/nov/13-allergic-life.) And consider the possible cumulative effects on children and small animals; new upholstery, 'air fresheners' and cheap perfumes build up in our body tissues just like tobacco (see http://mckayjenkins.com/books/whats-gotten-into-us/). It's obviously not our place to police patrons' hygiene unless it's disruptive to other patrons, but I find it absurd to treat pungent body odor and lavender body spray differently... they may smell different, but to some they stink equally. (I have been trapped in work situations with both, and while the BO didn't come home with me, the lavender stuck to me for days.) I guess I wish people were more aware of this issue in general when sharing public space, and our culture less obsessive about masking normal (reasonable) odors. Sorry about the soapbox...

In response to a Presidential Executive Order in 2011, the Department of Interior Library surveyed the nation?s tribal college and university community to determine how the federal government can increase the capacity of educational agencies and institutions to deliver high-quality education and social services to all American Indian and Alaskan Native students. The Department of Interior Library identified several areas where federal libraries could provide support and will discuss those areas at the workshop. IMLS offers its Native American Library Services grants program to provide opportunities for improved library services to these communities. Five recent grant recipients will discuss how they used IMLS funds to meet local needs and will also address resource gaps that may still exist. Attendees will hear from the following: * Salish Kootenai College D'Arcy McNickle Library (Montana) * Aaniiih Nakoda College Library (Montana) * Sealaska Heritage Institute (Alaska) * Jamestown S?Klallam Tribal Library (Washington) This event is sponsored by the FEDLINK Education Working Group.

[book2.jpg]Stielow, Frederick J. Reinventing the Library for Online Education. Chicago: ALA, 2014. 020.2854678 ISBN978-0-8389-1208-9 Have changes such as cloud computing, search engines, the Semantic Web, and mobile applications rendered such long-standing academic library services and functions as special collections, interlibrary loans, physical processing, and even library buildings unnecessary? Can the academic library effectively reconceive itself as a virtual institution? Stielow, who led the library program of the online university American Public University System, argues most emphatically that it can. His comprehensive look at web-based academic libraries synthesizes the changes wrought by the Web revolution into a visionary new model, grounded in history as well as personal experience. He demonstrates how existing functions like cataloging, circulation, collection development, reference, and serials management can be transformed by entrepreneurship, human face/electronic communicator relations, web apps, and other innovations. Online education can ensure that libraries remain strong information and knowledge hubs, and his timely book: * Shows how the origins and history of the academic library have laid the foundation for our current period of flux * Identifies practices rooted in print-based storage to consider for elimination, and legacy services ready to be adapted to virtual operations * Discusses tools and concepts libraries will embrace in a networked world, including new opportunities for library relevance in bookstore/textbook operations, compliance, library/archival/museum functions, e-publishing, and tutorial services * Offers a thorough examination of the virtual library infrastructure crucial for an online learning program, with a special look at the particular needs and responsibilities of online librarians * Looks at the evolving relationship between higher education and copyright, and posits how educational technology will bring further changes Bursting with stimulating ideas and wisdom gleaned from first-hand experience, Stielow's book presents a model for offering outstanding higher education library services in an increasingly online environment.

ISBN 978-1-55570-898-6 The Invisible Web, also known as the Deep Web, is a huge repository of underutilized resources that can be richly rewarding to searchers who make the effort to find them. Since Jane Devine and Francine Egger-Sider explored the educational potentials of this realm in Going Beyond Google: The Invisible Web in Learning and Teaching, the information world has grown even more complex, with more participants, more content, more formats, and more means of access. Demonstrating why teaching the Invisible Web should be a requirement for information literacy education in the 21st century, here the authors expand on the teaching foundation provided in the first book and persuasively argue that the Invisible Web is still relevant not only to student research but also to everyday life. Intended for anyone who conducts research on the web, including students, teachers, information professionals, and general users, their book: * Defines the characteristics of the Invisible Web, both technologically and cognitively * Provides a literature review of students information-seeking habits, concentrating on recent research * Surveys the theory and practice of teaching the Invisible Web * Shows ways to transform students into better researchers * Highlights teaching resources such as graphics, videos, and tutorials * Offers an assortment of tools, both public and proprietary, for trawling the Invisible Web * Looks at the future of the Invisible Web, with thoughts on how changes in search technology will affect users, particularly students learning to conduct research [book4.jpg]Thomsett-Scott, Beth C.

Practical Evaluation Techniques for Librarians. Santa Barbara, CA: Libraries Unlimited. Library professionals-regardless of whether they operate in a school, public, or academic library setting-need to have effective evaluation skills in order to be accountable to stakeholders and to effect informed improvement. Practical Evaluation Techniques for Librarians provides information and guidance that is highly useful and accessible for all librarians looking to intelligently manage the strengths and weaknesses of their library as well as communicate its value to its stakeholders. Rather than focusing on data-gathering methods appropriate for researchers, the book concentrates on data collection at the local level that enables informed managerial decision-making. It describes and compares techniques that can be used with any level or type of resource-staffing, software, and expertise, for example-in any size library. Author Rachel Applegate makes it clear that accountability is everywhere and imperative, and any librarian can learn the simple techniques to benefit from evaluation.

Of particular need are people to help at the registration on both Wednesday and Thursday afternoons (3:30-5pm) and evenings (5:30-7pm). We also could use a few on-call technology volunteers to troubleshoot if need arise throughout the conference, and lunch time room monitors to make sure nothing is stolen.

I posted a similar version of this to several Oregon library listservs Friday. Ebooks are on the minds of library staff. Here's a friendly reminder that the Gale databases that you have access to via the Statewide Database Licensing Program are chock-full of ebooks. The obvious database is Gale Virtual Reference Library, known as GVRL, which is Gale's platform for delivering ebooks. As part of the statewide contract, we have over 30 reference ebooks in GVRL. Here are a few. (Click on the images to link to the table of contents. If prompted for a password, try oslis.) [Grzimek's Animal Life Encyclopedia, 2003] [cid:image005.jpg at 01CF3136.45492410] [The Gale Encyclopedia of Medicine, 2011] [UXL Encyclopedia of Native American Tribes, 2008] [Encyclopedia of Islam and the Muslim World, 2004] And only via OSLIS, K12 students and educators have access to five additional titles. [Environmental Science Experiments, 2010] [Forensic Science Experiments, 2010] [UXL Encyclopedia of Biomes, 2008] [UXL Encyclopedia of Weather and Natural Disasters, 2008] [UXL Encyclopedia of World Mythology, 2009] Besides GVRL, ebook content is generously sprinkled throughout the Gale databases. The ebooks may not look like books, but don't judge them by their lack of covers. All the content is divided into articles and comes up in your searches. Want to know which databases have content from which ebooks? Check out the database title lists. The databases are listed in alphabetical order, and for each there is a spreadsheet that lists all of the periodicals titles and all of the reference books, when there are any of the latter, which is often. For example, Student Resources in Context has econtent from 140 reference books. A sampling of those titles includes Exploring Novels, Exploring Poetry, Encyclopedia of Endangered Species, Gale Encyclopedia of World History: War, Newsmakers, and UXL Science. Health & Wellness Resource Center has content from over 110 reference sources, including many Harvard Special Health Reports and several Gale encyclopedias. U.S. History in Context pulls from 100 encyclopedias and factbooks, etc. http://solutions.cengage.com/Gale/Database-Title-Lists/ Need a refresher on how to use the databases? Besides playing around with them on your own, you can view a short tutorial, sign up for a free webinar, or watch an archived webinar. Or, contact Arlene Weible at the State Library, and she'll point you in the right direction. http://solutions.cengage.com/gale-training/on-demand-tutorials/ http://solutions.cengage.com/gale-training/webinars/ http://solutions.cengage.com/gale-training/webinar/recorded/ Arlene Weible Electronic Services Consultant Library Development Services Oregon State Library 503-378-5020 arlene.weible at state.or.us http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/technology/sdlp/index.aspx One final thought. This is not a secret. Spread the word. Share the elove. :-) Thanks, Jen P.S. There are so many ways to write "ebook." There's ebook. eBook. E-book. Etc. I finally settled on ebook. For now.

The School of Library and Information Science at San Jose State University (SJSU) is now offering current and future information professionals the opportunity to enroll in one or more fully online, graduate-level courses, and earn college credit. The i.School Open Classes program offers more than 60 of the school's electives to information professionals who want to update their skills, position themselves for leadership opportunities, explore emerging trends, and learn more about how to use the latest technology to better serve clients. "We've heard from many people that they want to take just one or two of our courses as part of their professional development plans, and in response, we decided to offer our Open Classes program," said Dr. Sandra Hirsh, the SJSU information school's director. "For example, I regularly hear from our alumni, who tell me they want to update their knowledge by taking another class, and now they can." The program also makes it possible for individuals who are considering enrolling in a graduate program to try out courses before applying for admission. If they decide later to enroll in a master's program, they can transfer the units earned in the Open Classes program and be one step closer to completing a master's degree. The courses are open to everyone, with no course prerequisites and no minimum educational requirements to enroll. They're also easy to access because all of the courses are delivered fully online. Individuals can live anywhere while taking a class. Most course content is offered asynchronously, making it possible to complete assignments and interact with instructors and classmates when it's most convenient. Courses in the Open Classes program are electives offered in the school's ALA-accredited Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) and Master of Archives and Records Administration (MARA) programs. The courses cover a wide range of topics, including emerging technology, digitization and digital preservation, records management, web usability, data mining, information visualization, collection management, digital asset management, and library services for children and teens. In addition, many courses are focused specifically on building leadership skills. The i.School Open Classes program is available during the summer, fall, and spring sessions. Courses available for the summer 2014 session are posted on the school's website, and fall 2014 courses will be posted soon. The deadline to sign up for summer courses is May 15, 2014, and individuals will be able to enroll on a space available basis.

The World Wide Web turns 25 on March 12, 2014. The Web's birthday provides an occasion to take stock of the impact of the rapid growth of the internet since its invention and the attendant rise of mobile connectivity. Since 1995, the Pew Research Center has documented this explosive adoption of the internet and its wide-ranging impacts on everything from: the way people get, share, and create news; the way they take care of their health; the way they perform their jobs; the way they learn; the nature of their political activity; their interactions with government; the style and scope of their communications with friends and family; and the way they organize in communities. In a new national survey to mark the 25th anniversary of the Web, Pew Research finds further confirmation of the incredible spread and impact of the internet: Adoption: 87% of American adults now use the internet, with near-saturation usage among those living in households earning $75,000 or more (99%), young adults ages 18-29 (97%), and those with college degrees (97%). Fully 68% of adults connect to the internet with mobile devices like smartphones or tablet computers. The adoption of related technologies has also been extraordinary: Over the course of Pew Research Center polling, adult ownership of cell phones has risen from 53% in our first survey in 2000 to 90% now. Ownership of smartphones has grown from 35% when we first asked in 2011 to 58% now. Impact: Asked for their overall judgment about the impact of the internet, toting up all the pluses and minuses of connected life, the public's verdict is overwhelmingly positive: * 90% of internet users say the internet has been a good thing for them personally and only 6% say it has been a bad thing, while 3% volunteer that it has been some of both. * 76% of internet users say the internet has been a good thing for society, while 15% say it has been a bad thing and 8% say it has been equally good and bad.

(4Good) Professional leadership coaching is becoming increasingly familiar to-if not yet commonly used in-the nonprofit sector. While some very small organizations may indeed not able to afford leadership coaching, many more nonprofits may decline to use coaching mainly out of uncertainty about whether coaching is really an investment that meets their needs. This webinar answers such questions as: What is coaching, particularly leadership coaching, really like? How exactly does it benefit the client? When is coaching an effective approach to enhancing leadership capabilities? What criteria should we look for in a coach? How do we ensure our organization gets the maximum benefit from leadership coaching?

Why? Without predictable, consistent income growth, charities struggle mightily to fulfill their missions and achieve their visions. Yet the data show income growth for most charities is sluggish or worse, in spite of the onslaught of new technologies, training programs, and graduate schools offering advanced degrees. Maybe it's time to do something different: to look at the way fundraising is managed, not just the way it's done.
