Can students legally remix music for school assignments? What does fair use mean, and how can it be applied in the school library or classroom? If you are a school librarian or educator who is confused by copyright law, you're not alone. School principals, superintendents, educators and librarians have specific questions about copyright law but often find themselves without guidance on the subject. During this tweet chat, school leaders will have the opportunity to have their questions answered during an interactive tweetchat with copyright expert and bestselling author Carrie Russell. Participants can submit questions and take part in the free tweetchat by using the #k12copylaw hashtag. As part of the tweetchat, Russell will offer clear guidance on the ways that principals, superintendents, teachers and librarians can legally provide materials to students. Additionally, Russell will discuss scenarios often encountered by educators in schools, such as using digital works in the classroom and students' use of information found on the web. Russell is also the director of the American Library Association's Program on Public Access to Information. Tweetchat participants will learn about: Fair use; copyright law in the digital age; and copyright exploitation in schools (i.e., incidents when copyright industry groups exploit school staff under the guise of copyright law compliance) For more information, visit: http://www.districtdispatch.org/2013/12/tweet-us-copyright-questions-jan-7th/ January 8 (9-10 am) / Simply Managing (American Management Association) Join Henry Mintzberg as he explores the characteristics, contents, and varieties of managers, as well as the conundrums they face and how they become effective.

Make sure your nonprofit doesn't inadvertently lose its (c)(3) status by not following the rules. This session will explain in plain English (not legalese!) some of the core responsibilities, including: filing annual IRS returns; ensuring that activities further your tax-exempt purposes and benefit the public rather than private interests; avoiding impermissible financial benefits to insiders; limiting lobbying activities; avoiding political campaign activities; limiting, and paying taxes on, unrelated business income; recordkeeping; and maintaining public charity status.

Wells' article " The Female Librarian in Film: Has the Image Changed in 60 Years?" examines the image of the female librarian within the social context of film. Wells studies various movie scenes in which people visit libraries seeking information, studying, and conducting other library activities to determine how librarians are portrayed by the media. Brooke's article " Open Source Integrated Library Systems in Public Libraries" examines how the electronic age affects the way information is delivered in both presentation and content. He discusses the advantages of free and open source software (FOSS) within the library system stating that collaboration between librarians and open source developers is a natural fit, as both have the common trait of being "obsessive about sharing information." In her introductory essay, Mathewson points out that although both students' articles explore diverse topics, a theme emerges: "Despite the rapidly changing role of the librarian from the stereotypical stern female librarian to the technologically hip librarian of today, librarians still protect the right to free and accessible information to the public." This is the sixth issue of the journal, which was launched in 2010. Each issue is developed by current SJSU SLIS graduate students selected by a competitive process to serve one-year terms on the editorial team. Working with SJSU SLIS faculty advisor and associate professor Dr. Anthony Bernier, the student editors review, select, and edit manuscripts submitted by students at the SJSU information school and other graduate programs worldwide. The SRJ (pronounced surge) offers a great opportunity for graduate students to showcase their original work in a peer-reviewed publication and contribute to the body of knowledge in the information professions. The SRJ has a global readership, with the most downloads from the United States, India, Pakistan, and the United Kingdom. The SRJ is an open-source journal, and all the articles are available in PDF format online at http://scholarworks.sjsu.edu/slissrj/vol3/iss2/ Call for Submissions The SRJ invites original research or critical review essay manuscripts from graduate students at any university on topics in the fields of information science theory, policy, application or practice. Submissions are accepted on a rolling basis. See call for submissions. About the Student Research Journal The SRJ promotes graduate scholarship and intellectual inquiry in library and information science, archives and records management, and museum studies by publishing two issues annually. It is San Jose State University's first student-governed research journal.

I found a great document that Texas State Library (https://www.tsl.texas.gov/sites/default/files/public/tslac/ld/pubs/plant/State_of_Texas_Board_%20Handbook_Final.pdf) had done and I was wondering also if either PLD or the Oregon State Library were looking at revising the old version for Oregon, especially in light of the proposed standards for public libraries that we're reviewing now. I will admit, that made me look at my current orientation materials a little closer and decided that they needed some updating. One thing I really like about the Texas handbook is the discussion of what a 21st century library is which gives new board members some great language and advocacy tools as they come aboard, perhaps only having joined the board because they check out a lot of books. I know that now when I do my orientation, new members are many times surprised at what we do and what libraries in general do today. Anyway, if anyone would like to share their board orientation materials, I would love to see them. Thanks Leah ********************************** Leah M.

URL: From reading at librifoundation.org Mon Jan 6 10:37:49 2014 From: reading at librifoundation.org (The Libri Foundation) Date: Mon, 06 Jan 2014 10:37:49 -0800 Subject: [Libs-Or] Grant Opportunity for Rural Public Libraries Message-ID: <52CAF7FD.2080908@librifoundation.org> January 2014 The Libri Foundation is currently accepting applications for its 2014 BOOKS FOR CHILDREN grants. The Libri Foundation is a nationwide non-profit organization which donates new, quality, hardcover children's books to small, rural public libraries throughout the United States. Since October 1990, the Foundation has donated over $5,800,000 worth of new children's books to more than 3,300 libraries in all 50 states. In order to encourage and reward local support of libraries, The Libri Foundation will match any amount of money raised by your local sponsors from $200 to $350 on a 2-to-1 ratio. Thus, a library can receive up to $1,050 worth of new children's books. After a library receives a grant, local sponsors (such as formal or informal Friends groups, civic or social organizations, local businesses, etc.) have four months, or longer if necessary, to raise their matching funds. The librarian of each participating library selects the books her library will receive from a booklist provided by the Foundation. The 600-plus fiction and nonfiction titles on the booklist reflect the very best of children's literature published primarily in the last three years. These titles, which are for children ages 12 and under, are award-winners or have received starred reviews in library, literary, or education journals. The booklist also includes a selection of classic children's titles. Libraries are qualified on an individual basis. In general, county libraries should serve a population under 16,000 and town libraries should serve a population under 10,000 (usually under 5,000). Libraries should be in a rural area, have a limited operating budget, and an active children's department. Please note: Rural is usually considered to be at least 30 miles from a city with a population over 40,000. Town libraries with total operating budgets over $150,000 and county libraries with total operating budgets over $450,000 are rarely given grants. Applications are accepted from independent libraries as well as libraries which are part of a county, regional, or cooperative library system. A school library may apply only if it also serves as the public library (i.e. it is open to the everyone in the community, has some summer hours, and there is no public library in town). A branch library may apply if the community it is in meets the definition of rural. If the branch library receives its funding from its parent institution, then the parent institution's total operating budget, not just the branch library's total operating budget, must meet the budget guidelines. A library that received a BOOKS FOR CHILDREN grant in 2011 or earlier is eligible to apply if it fulfilled all the grant requirements, including sending in its final report. Application deadlines for 2014 are: (postmarked by) January 23rd, May 15th, and August 15th. Grants are awarded January 31st, May 31st, and August 31st. The names of grant recipients will be posted on the Foundation's website a few days after grants are awarded. Acceptance packets are usually mailed 14-18 days after grants are awarded. If you want your books in time for your summer reading program, please apply for a January grant. May grant recipients may not receive their books until after most summer reading programs are over. Please DO NOT waste money sending your application by Express Mail or Certified Mail. The application deadline is based on postmark date, not arrival date. Application guidelines and forms may be downloaded from the Foundation's website at: www.librifoundation.org.

I always advise people to get on the wait list if there is a hotel they really want. What some people do, including me, is get on the wait list and then find some place else, using kayak.com, getaroom.com, or Travelocity, and book a room. Then if the hotel I really want becomes available I cancel the other hotel. People cancel their reservations for the PLA/ALA hotels all of the time as well when their roommate got a different hotel or for many other reasons. I have had time on the wait list last for only a few hours up to a few weeks.

I just heard from the national director of the Letters About Literature program that the submission deadline for 4th - 12th grade entries has been extended due to inclement weather. Originally, all Level I and II letters had to be postmarked by this Friday, January 10th, and Level III letters were due in December. Now, as long as letters are *received* by January 21st, they will be included for judging. FYI, Jen Jennifer Maurer School Library Consultant Oregon State Library 250 Winter Street NE Salem, OR 97301 503.378.5011 jennifer.maurer at state.or.us OSLIS || www.oslis.org Learn to research.

Letters About Literature is a national reading and writing contest sponsored by the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress (LOC) and by Oregon's equivalent at the State Library. Students write letters to any author explaining how that author's book changed their way of thinking about the world or themselves. Please help promote this program, including among homeschoolers. The LOC asks teachers/parents to allow students to choose a book that is meaningful to them and asks students to explain *why* or *how* the book was significant to them instead of summarizing the plot. The focus of a participant's letter is to make clear the connection one has with a book. Here's what Lynette Gottlieb, a teacher in Corvallis, had to say about the contest: Letters about Literature was a completely positive experience for my students...importantly, some of my students who do not identify as writers, and do not generally enjoy the experience, were able to write about something meaningful to them and participate in an inclusive contest that also recognized them...the process connects them to the human experience of literature. It supports my English classroom where I give students choice about reading whenever possible and teach that literature and writing are first and foremost about communication. There are three competition levels: Level I for 4th-6th graders, Level II for 7th-8th graders, and Level III for 9th-12th graders. Note that high school juniors and seniors may participate, which was not true last year because of national program funding limitations. Oregon's three winners - one from each competition level - will go on to compete nationally. Entry forms and guidelines are available online at http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/youthsvcs/aboutlit.aspx. All Level III entries must be postmarked by December 10, 2013 and Level I and Level II entries by January 10, 2014. In 2013, about 810 students in Oregon entered the contest, and 1 in 7 received cash prizes or bookstore gift certificates. These prizes are made possible through support from the national Center for the Book, Oregon Reading Association, and three divisions of the Oregon Library Association: Oregon Association of School Libraries, Children's Services Division, and Oregon Young Adult Network. Thanks for passing along the information and encouraging participation.

Visit www.ala.org/yaforum/project-report to download the report and executive summary today! The report is a call to action for the library community. It provides recommendations on how libraries must address challenges and re-envision their teen services in order to meet the needs of their individual communities and to collectively ensure that the nation's 40+ million teens develop the skills they need to be productive citizens. By acting on this call, the library community can work within their own local communities to create the kind of spaces, services, and opportunities that today's teens need in order to succeed in school and in life." The report includes a variety of library settings; share with your library's staff and administration!

The analyses examine students? educational attainment; students? financial aid received and subsequent debt; income and financial indicators; initial workforce experiences; and civic engagement. Findings of particular interest include that among those who began their postsecondary education within 3 months of high school completion, 42 percent had earned a bachelor?s degree and another 11 percent had earned a master?s degree (or higher) by 2012; among those who began their postsecondary education 13 or more months following high school completion, 6 percent had earned a bachelor?s degree and another 1 percent had earned a master?s degree (or higher) by 2012. Many high school sophomores in 2002 with subsequent postsecondary enrollment as of 2012 (40 percent) reported borrowing $0 in student loans, while nearly half (49 percent) reported borrowing between $0 and $50,000 in student loans. An additional 11 percent reported borrowing $50,000 or more in student loans. A smaller percentage of those who had completed a bachelor?s degree or higher reported having lost a job since January 2006 (19 percent) than did those with a high school credential only (40 percent), or those who had not completed high school (45 percent).

Message-ID: Colleagues, The OLA Mentoring Program is designed to help early career librarians grow professionally by being paired with seasoned librarians willing to share their professional experience and guidance. Mentors and mentees will be partnered based on similar interests, professional experience, and/or goals. The mentoring relationship will develop over the course of a year and contact can take place in-person or over phone, email, or web conferencing. If you are an early career librarian with less than five years of professional experience, please consider applying to be paired up with a mentor. Our current roster of available mentors come from academic, public, and special libraries. Our academic librarian mentors are located in the Portland Metro area, Wilsonville, and Klamath Falls. They have expertise in diverse areas such as Leadership, Management, Planning, Reference/Instruction, Writing/public speaking, Adult Services, Library Technologies Job Transition, and Community Assessment and Involvement. They have had very diverse experiences in librarianship and work in different kinds of academic libraries. Our public librarian mentors are located in the Portland Metro area, Hillsboro, La Grande, Albany, and Roseburg. They have expertise in the following area: Leadership, Management, Supervision of Staff @ Remote Locations, Planning, Marketing/Outreach, Community Assessment and Involvement, Adult Services, Library Technologies, Service to Remote/Rural Libraries, Reference/Instruction, Technical Services, Writing/public speaking, OLA involvement, and Job Transition. Their places of work range from large library systems to small, rural libraries and their experiences in libraries are extremely diverse. We also have a data scientist mentor for those of you interested in the information science part of our field. Even if your interests and goals aren?t a match for our current crop of mentors, feel free to apply and you?ll be near the top of the list as mentors who are a match become available. To become a mentee, you must meet ALL of the following requirements: 1. Be an OLA Member. 2. Hold an MLIS or equivalent (MSIS, MLS, school library teaching license, etc.) AND/or have been in a professional library position(s) for fewer than five years 3.

This is good news and I think we would all like to see similar progress in Oregon. OLA, OASL, and the ILAGO Board are talking about starting a conversation with WLMA around their advocacy work with the Bellevue School District. What else can Oregon library lovers do? Repeat, repeat, repeat this story! The prevailing narrative around school librarians invites inaction (i.e., we've lost them and they aren't coming back). This is a great opportunity to reclaim and retell our story. As times get better, OBVIOUSLY Oregon schools will bring back librarians. We want and expect school librarians, it is a reasonable expectation and we want them back as soon as possible. Note that this narrative also invites a modern interpretation of the role of the school librarian. Something new to add to the elevator conversation.

Depending on what funds can be made available, up to 11 positions in total could be filled for the 2015?2016 school year, he says. In addition to direct instruction, the two new hires also will begin working with the district to create a K?12 information literacy and technology curriculum in line with the Common Core State Standards...

Here's some good news for our neighbors to the north. This is from a 1/9/14 School Library Journal article, http://www.slj.com/2014/01/schools/bellevue-wa-to-rehire-school-librarians: Washington State?s Bellevue School District (BSD) is seeking to hire two certified media specialists, to be known as Research Technology Specialists, by this spring in order to lead the libraries in two of its secondary schools, and hopes to fully staff at least some of its remaining secondary schools soon, District Superintendent Dr. Tim Mills confirms. Depending on what funds can be made available, up to 11 positions in total could be filled for the 2015?2016 school year, he says. In addition to direct instruction, the two new hires also will begin working with the district to create a K?12 information literacy and technology curriculum in line with the Common Core State Standards... Advocacy efforts by parents, educators, and the Washington Library Media Association are credited as a big factor in this decision.

The James Madison Award, named in honor of President James Madison, was established in 1986 to celebrate an individual or group who has brought awareness to these issues at the national level. Madison is widely regarded as the Father of the Constitution and as the foremost advocate for openness in government. The Eileen Cooke State & Local Madison Award honors an extraordinary leader who has built local grassroots awareness of the importance of access to information. Cooke, former director of the ALA Washington Office, was a tireless advocate for the public's right to know and a mentor to many librarians and trustees. Both awards are presented during Freedom of Information (FOI) Day, an annual event on or near March 16, Madison's birthday. Nominations should be submitted to the ALA Washington Office no later than January 17, 2014. Submissions should include a statement (maximum one page) about the nominee's contribution to public access to government information, why it merits the award and one seconding letter. Please include a brief biography and contact information for the nominee. Send e-mail nominations to Jessica McGilvray, Assistant Director for the ALA Office of Government Relations, at jmcgilvray at alawash.org. Submissions can also be mailed to: James Madison Award / Eileen Cooke Award American Library Association Washington Office 1615 New Hampshire Avenue, NW Washington, D.C. 20009-2520 http://www.districtdispatch.org/2014/01/deadline-madison-award-nominations-friday/ -- *Diedre Conkling* *Lincoln County Library DistrictP.O.

Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the Federal Communications Commission overstepped its authority by prohibiting Internet providers from blocking Internet traffic. Barbara Stripling, president of the American Library Association (ALA), released the following statement regarding the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruling on *Verizon v. FCC*: "The American Library Association is extremely disappointed with today's decision by the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals to strike down the FCC's "Net Neutrality" decision. ALA has been a long-time supporter of the free flow of information for all people. Now that the Internet has become the primary mechanism for delivering information, services and applications to the general public, it is especially important that commercial Internet Service Providers are not able to control or manipulate the content of these communications. "The court's decision gives commercial companies the astounding legal authority to block Internet traffic, give preferential treatment to certain Internet services or applications, and steer users to or away from certain web sites based on their own commercial interests. This ruling, if it stands, will adversely affect the daily lives of Americans and fundamentally change the open nature of the Internet, where uncensored access to information has been a hallmark of the communication medium since its inception. "Public libraries have become leading providers of public Internet access, providing service to millions of students, elderly citizens, people seeking employment and many others every single day. Approximately 77 million people use public library Internet access every year. These users of libraries' Internet services, and people all across the country, deserve equal access to online information and services. "The ability of the Internet to spread and share ideas is only getting better. With modern technology, individuals and small groups can produce rich audio and video resources that used to be the exclusive domain of large companies. We must work to ensure that these resources are not relegated to second-class delivery on the Internet - or else the intellectual freedoms fostered by the Internet will be seriously constrained. ALA will work with policy-makers and explore every avenue possible to restore the long-standing principle of nondiscrimination to all forms of broadband access to the Internet." http://www.districtdispatch.org/2014/01/ala-extremely-disappointed-net-neutrality-ruling/ -- *Diedre Conkling* *Lincoln County Library DistrictP.O.

From Monday, January 13th until Saturday, January 18th, copyright experts will explore different aspects of copyright law on the District Dispatch. The guest article below comes from Kris Kasianovitz, Government Documents Librarian at Stanford University.** *"Contrary to popular belief, state agencies do have the right to copyright their publications."* ~Margaret T. Lane, "Selecting and Organizing State Government Publications" 1987. Section 105 of the Federal Copyright Law only covers federal government information. The copyright fate of state and local is left to case law, ambiguous or in some cases very explicit state level laws governing copyright of their publications. In a fast-growing digital world, access to digitized or born digital publications is the new norm for faculty, students, journalists, citizens. But this access is impeded by the lack of clarity on the copyright issue of state and local publications. The time has come for this to change. Personally, I believe all state and local government publications should rest in the public domain, just like their federal counterparts. They are created for the people, at the tax-payers expense, to advance transparency and support democratic processes. Access to these materials, especially when libraries and archives have the means to digitize and disseminate the content, should be supported by state government agencies. In the Summer of 2008, I wrote an article for *Documents to the People*, asking "Why Care about Copyright?" In it I asked the following set of questions: Why should we as state government information librarians care about copyright? Most who work with the materials feel or believe they are public documents freely available to all, just like federal publications. We are not necessarily doing anything with this material that could be interpreted as copyright infringement. We collect, house, and make them accessible to our communities--who in turn use them mostly under the principle of fair use. But wait, what happens when libraries want to digitize state government publications and make them widely accessible? What do we need to take into consideration when we capture, preserve, and make born-digital state government materials and web sites accessible through online archives? Unfortunately, these questions still remain unanswered; the copyright conundrum is alive and well. This is the driving force behind Free State Government Information (FSGI) http://stategov.freegovinfo.info/ FSGI is a small group of librarians seeking to promote law, regulation and policy at the state level that ensure the widest possible access, use and reuse of state government information for the purposes of research, civic engagement and government transparency. FSGI accomplishes this mission through collaboration with government agencies and libraries in developing and advocating for a standard intellectual property policy and practice that will place state government information into the public domain or other freely accessible status.

The percentage of adults who read an e-book in the past year has risen to 28%, up from 23% at the end of 2012. At the same time, about seven in ten Americans reported reading a book in print, up four percentage points after a slight dip in 2012, and 14% of adults listened to an audiobook. Though e-books are rising in popularity, print remains the foundation of Americans' reading habits. Most people who read e-books also read print books, and just 4% of readers are "e-book only." Audiobook listeners have the most diverse reading habits overall, while fewer print readers consume books in other formats.

To: "Diedre Conkling" Cc: A few major corporations now control what we can see and do online. *A few major corporations now control what we can see and do online.* [image: woman at computer] *Tell the FCC: save the open Internet now! * [image: Take Action] Dear Diedre, A federal appeals court just killed critically important government protections against discrimination online; *the giant Internet service providers (ISPs) ? Verizon, AT&T, Comcast, and Time Warner Cable ? now have total control over what information we can access on the web*. It's a nightmare scenario, and one the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has long seen coming. A self-imposed, Bush-era rule restricting the agency's ability to regulate broadband foreshadowed the court's finding this week that ISPs no longer have to treat all web users equally1 ? *they can block websites, slow down services, and double- and triple-dip in charging extra fees to restore access*.2 But we have the power to stop this. By raising our voices together, *we can ensure the FCC has the political will to act on its authority to reverse a decade of failed Internet policy* ? and the courage to stand up to an industry that has pushed it around for too long. FCC chair Tom Wheeler says he supports a free and open Internet, but actions speak louder than words. *Demand the FCC re-regulate broadband and save the Internet now*. The Internet is an essential service we rely on to conduct our most basic daily affairs, from applying for a job to finding a home to running a small business. And *our right to communicate freely and be heard lies at the heart of our ability to participate fairly in our democracy*. ColorOfChange has been at the forefront of efforts to protect our ability to communicate freely online since we fought to enshrine rigorous FCC Net Neutrality rules in 2010.3 Real Net Neutrality ensures ISPs and content companies can?t collude to turn the democratic Internet into corporate-controlled cable TV, full of *restrictions, limits on consumer choice, and toll stations designed to maximize their profits at our expense*. In the wake of this week's ruling, Net Neutrality is dead.4 Imagine Comcast penalizing subscribers for accessing news sources not owned by its NBC subsidiary. *Imagine AT&T shutting off access to T-Mobile's customer service website.* Verizon charging you ? and the school you're attending ? extra for you to access classroom resources online. ISPs are now legally permitted, and more financially incentivized than ever before, to engage in precisely these types of predatory behaviors.5,6 It doesn't have to be this way. The court agreed the FCC has the power, bestowed by Congress, to regulate ISPs' business practices ? if only the agency can rethink its conflicting, overly restrictive internal rules. *Chairman Wheeler has clear direction that it's time to reclassify broadband companies as common carriers*, affording the public the same anti-discrimination protections we all enjoy when making a phone call, using electricity, or taking public transportation.7 Can you take a moment to make sure Chairman Wheeler gets the message? *Join us in urging the FCC to defend our right to communicate by reclassifying broadband now.* Thanks and Peace, --Rashad, Arisha, Matt, Kim and the rest of the ColorOfChange.org team January 16th, 2014 *Help support our work.*ColorOfChange.org is powered by YOU?your energy and dollars.

The American Library Association agrees that the systematic and unwarranted collection of surveillance data on millions of unsuspecting Americans must be curtailed, and we support plans to make National Security Letters more transparent. Additionally, we firmly support the creation of a constitutional advocate who will represent privacy concerns before the secret intelligence court. ?However, we are cautiously monitoring the Obama Administration to ensure that President Obama?s suggested surveillance changes extend far beyond his speech today. Moving forward, we will continue to advocate for legislative reforms that restore our basic expectations of privacy. We support policy changes to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and the PATRIOT Act, bills that will be considered for reauthorization in 2015. Additionally, the library community fully supports the passage of the USA Freedom Act (H.R.3361), a bill that will improve the balance between terrorism prevention and personal privacy protection. ?Every year, millions of Americans turn to libraries for books, resources and online content. These patrons have a right to read and access information, free from government intrusion or censorship. Since passage of the USA PATRIOT Act, libraries have advocated that any surveillance policy must uphold the First and Fourth Amendment rights of innocent Americans. By actively seeking reforms to Section 215 of the PATRIOT Act, libraries were one of the first groups to publicly oppose the surveillance bill and bring attention to the impact the law could have on American civil liberties.? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

(Nonprofit Webinars) Peter Drucker has a great quote: "Culture eats strategy for breakfast." Although culture plays a large part in how organizations function, grow and change, we don't always take its power and influence fully into account. When organizations assess their readiness for growth - or are unexpectedly thrown into change - their culture can be a help, a hindrance or somewhere in between. Because an organization's culture often evolves organically, leaders and staff are not always aware of the role culture takes in their ability to grow.

The American Library Association (ALA) Public Programs Office is accepting applications for the *Libraries Transforming Communities* Public Innovators Cohort, an 18-month, team-based professional development opportunity for public libraries, developed by ALA and the Harwood Institute for Public Innovation. The *Libraries Transforming Communities* project, made possible through a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, addresses a critical need of the field by developing and distributing new tools, resources and support for librarians to engage with their communities in new ways; strengthens librarians as community leaders and change agents, and strengthens ALA?s capacity as a lead library support entity. In April, up to 50 individuals representing teams from 10 public libraries nationally will be selected to participate in the Public Innovators Cohort. Selected libraries will receive: - An $8,000 grant to support Cohort expenses. - An intensive 18-month Public Innovators Cohort experience that will include training and team coaching to develop and implement a community engagement plan. - Cohort training at the intensive three-day Public Innovators Lab, May 20-22, 2014. - Virtual and in-person "innovation space" meetings. - Access to six in-depth distance learning session. - Monthly coaching and peer dialogue calls with a Harwood Institute coach and cohort peers to support implementation work. - Access to publicity and marketing resources to support local-level communications. The Public Innovators Cohort is grounded in the Harwood Institute?s approach of ?turning outward,? which emphasizes shifting the institutional and professional orientation of libraries and librarians from internal to external. Participants will develop and implement a plan for community engagement and learn how to: - Identify community issues rooted in people's shared aspirations; - Strategically share this knowledge with your community to build public will for action; - Develop strategies that align with local context; - Create community conditions that enable change; - Identify the right community partners to work with; and - Develop networks for innovation and learning. Complete guidelines and application instructions can be found at: ala.org/LTC. A conference call for interested applicants will be held at 1 p.m. central time on February 12, 2014. An update on the *Libraries Transforming Communities* initiative will be given by Maureen Sullivan, ALA immediate past president, and Rich Harwood, founder and president of The Harwood Institute for Public Innovation, from 8:30 ? 10 a.m. on Sunday, Jan. 26, at the 2014 ALA Midwinter Meeting in Philadelphia in PCC 201C. Sullivan and Harwood will share the latest examples of the impact from librarians trained during phase one who are successfully applying the Harwood practice in libraries and within the ALA community. They will also provide details and answer questions about exciting new opportunities for librarians to increase the effectiveness of their library-led community engagement and innovation. ****************************** ALA Public Programs Office www.ala.org/publicprograms publicprograms at ala.org Are you a Programming Librarian? -- Suzanne L.

With a $15 million annual budget, a challenge for the new Director and staff (129.5 FTEs) will be to work with the Commission, Library Advisory Boards, Friends of the Library groups, county-wide Library Foundation and other political entities to usher in a new era in community outreach and responsiveness-potentially under a newly revised Joint Powers Agreement.

Lindy From: Michael P. Santangelo [mailto:michaelpsantangelo at bookops.org] Sent: Tuesday, January 14, 2014 2:20 PM To: Michael P. Santangelo Subject: Official Launch of the ReadersFirst Guide Dear ReadersFirst General Members, I am excited to announce the official release of the ReadersFirst Guide to Library E-Book Vendors. It has been posted on the ReadersFirst website with an accompanying press release. It was no easy task for our Working Group members to put this Guide together, from creating and ranking the initial technical requirements, working with the major library e-book vendors to fill out surveys on their respective products, checking and verifying these responses, and, most obviously, writing, editing, formatting, and proofreading the Guide. But, I hope we all can agree it has been worth our efforts in this giant advocacy step. I wanted to make sure to thank all of our members for their support over the last few months while waiting on this release. Additionally, it would only be appropriate to thank the library systems and library directors who supported their staff members in taking part in the ReadersFirst Working Group and in helping to write, edit, and promote this Guide: New York Public Library, Brooklyn Public Library, Queens Public Library, Columbus Metropolitan Library, Southern Adirondack Library System, Free Library of Philadelphia, Seattle Public Library, Vancouver Public Library, Sacramento Public Library, Montgomery County Public Libraries, Richland Library, Arlington Public Library, Douglas County Libraries, Salt Lake City Public Library, and the Santa Clara County Library District. As well, it should be said that my colleagues at NYPL, Sam Rubin and Micah May, were the initial and main driving forces behind setting up the Guide, working with the vendors, and organizing the Working Group members in creating this content. In conjunction with the release of the Guide, we will be taking part in the ALA Masters Series at this month's ALA Midwinter Meeting in Philadelphia. ReadersFirst is scheduled to present on Sunday, January 26th at 11:45-12:30 in the Conference Center, room 202B. If you can attend, please come and show your support. I would like to acknowledge Working Group member Andrew Harbison of Seattle Public Library for his work on setting up the ALA program for ReadersFirst. After the ALA Midwinter Meeting, the ReadersFirst Working Group will convene to discuss sustaining and updating the Guide, new areas for advocacy, and new directions for our advocacy efforts. These ideas as well as feedback to the Guide will be shared with you during our first conference call of 2014 in February. I will send preliminary information about the upcoming meeting next week. Thank you once again for your support.

But wait there's more, being instructed to merge your metadata and digital collections with that of several unrelated organizations, each of which use very different standards and techniques for managing this information? And to top it off, your funders imply that all of this will mean you need fewer staff?

The publications give some background about the Common Core, offer specific examples of skills and expectations for that grade level, and suggest ways parents can help their children succeed. As a bonus, the roadmaps specifically advise parents to "be sure your child has a library card. Children should select books they are interested in to develop a passion for reading. Many libraries have book clubs and family activities that make reading fun for the entire family." If you are looking for something to hand out to parents, preview both sets.

Course Description Do you wish you felt more confident when faced with a business reference question? Want to demystify SIC and NAICS codes, ROI and 10k's? Then Business Reference 101 is for you! This four-week, Web-based professional development course is designed for academic, special or public librarians and other researchers and library staff who have a basic understanding of some business resources but who do not work with them often enough to build expertise. The course will provide students with a framework for understanding the business reference process as well as an overview of business reference sources specific to each of the course modules...Business Reference 101 participants will also have access to proprietary business reference databases such as Standard & Poor's NetAdvantage, Gale's Business Insights: Global, Morningstar, IBISWord, Plunkett Research Online and ReferenceUSA, among others...It is a "101" approach, meaning that it is primarily targeted at those who are not very familiar with this subject area. Seasoned business researchers could take Business Reference 101 as a refresher course to brush up on their skills.

Teen Video Challenge submission deadline: Feb. 14! Message-ID: <52EA90AB.30200@cclsd.org> Please pardon cross-posting. Greetings, Marvels of Library Service! Yes, that's you. And then, there's your teens. They, too, are marvels. Many of them may already be used to making and editing video--from their phones, from an everyday digital camera, from a simple video recorder like FlipVideo, or even a full-blown video camera. Even if they aren't, put a device in their hands and see what they can do! The Collaborative Summer Library Program's Teen Video Challenge for 2014 is in full swing. The deadline for submissions is February 14! The theme: Science! The slogan: "Spark a Reaction!" The mission: create a video, between 30 and 90 seconds long, that any library in the country could use to promote Summer Reading for teens this summer, inspired by the slogan, "Spark a Reaction!" Create your video; fill out your submission forms, plus the release forms for everyone on camera; upload your video to YouTube or Vimeo; and either e-mail or snail-mail your forms to your faithful CSLP Liaison (details on the form). Both forms are attached to this message. Then we all get to vote! I'll make that announcement after all the contestants are uploaded to the OYAN TVC channel on YouTube. The winning video will represent Oregon among the videos that will be posted on the CSLP website (www.cslpreads.org), and that any library can use to promote their summer reading programs. Fame! Glory! Reading!

Lisa's transcript is online at www.answerland.org/awards Lisa picked up a chat call with a somewhat complex statistical question about childhood diseases. The patron asked for information about the top 15-20 childhood illnesses and the top 15-20 childhood surgeries, both in the U.S. and globally. Lisa was immediately friendly and welcoming. Her first thought of a resource was the CDC. A search of CDC.gov led Lisa to a report on children's health, including a great deal of data, but not the specific statistics for which the patron was searching. Lisa was undeterred. She moved on to searching for World Health Organization data. When the data continued to be elusive, Lisa offered to have other librarians continue the research and send an answer to the patron via email. Librarians at OHSU Library did send an email answer to the patron with additional resources. The Quality Team is impressed with Lisa's friendly tone, knowledge of authoritative resources, and clear determination to answer the question. As an expression of our appreciation, Lisa was presented with flowers and a certificate. Please join us in congratulating her! The Answerland Quality Team Stephanie Debner, Mt.
