The Board re-elected Aletha Bonebrake as the Chair for 2014-2015, appointed five members to the Government Research Services Advisory Council, approved LSTA Advisory Council recommendations, and approved Talking Book and Braille Advisory Council recommendations. The next Board meeting is currently scheduled for Friday, August 15, 2014 at the Driftwood Public Library in Lincoln City. State Library Board of Trustees has Two Vacancies Since its founding, the Oregon State Library has been governed by an independent Board of Trustees, consisting of seven citizens from throughout the state who are appointed by the governor to serve four-year terms. We currently have two vacancies on the Board. For more information about the Board, please see the State Library's Board of Trustees webpage. For executive appointment information and to apply, please visit the Governor's Executive Appointments website. The State Library would like to thank Ray Miao for his service on the Board. Return to top of page State Library News New Enhancements to Gale Databases in Statewide Database Licensing Program [Phone][Gale Logo]Gale Virtual Reference Library (GVRL) has introduced a new feature that offers users the ability to read full books in PDF format online. The book-like online reading experience is prevalent across popular reading platforms, and users now expect the same in research eBooks. This new online browsing functionality allows users to interact dynamically with and page through the PDF format. Historically, users could only navigate through a title in the HTML (rich text) format or static PDF pages. The new format combines the readability of print with all the tools that GVRL brings, including the online ability to search and navigate quickly, ReadSpeaker text-to-speech translation, bookmarking, sharing, article-level downloading, language translation, citation tools, and more. Gale has also introduced a new mobile-optimized interface to its InfoTrac databases, including General OneFile and Academic OneFile. Mobile optimization minimizes the user's need to resize, pan or scroll while reading and navigating. Using responsive design technology, Gale's mobile interface automatically displays when users access any InfoTrac resource from their smartphone, whether they click into these resources directly through a library's website or through Gale's free Access My Library app. No set up is required by libraries or patrons to enable this mobile display on smartphones. The mobile interface has been user-tested to support the most common user workflows on Apple, Chrome, and Android smartphones. If you have questions about these or other features of the Gale resources, please contact Arlene Weible, Electronic Services Consultant. Statewide Database Licensing Program Supports Oregon Academic Libraries At its meeting on June 20, 2014, the OSL Board approved the Statewide Database Licensing Advisory Committee (SDLAC) recommendation to provide financial support to Oregon academic libraries who participate in the Orbis Cascade Alliance group subscription to Ebsco's Academic Search Premier database package. Noting that the current Statewide Database Licensing Program (SDLP) does not offer fully satisfactory resources for academic libraries, the SDLAC recommended that the savings realized from the new contract with Gale be used to support academic libraries. Current participants in the Statewide Database Licensing Program that were not already participants in the Orbis Cascade Alliance subscription were contacted about the opportunity to join and four additional libraries were added to the group subscription. With a contribution of $50,000 from OSL, the subscription cost for all of the participating libraries will be lowered by 9% per library in the upcoming year. If you have questions about this initiative, please contact Arlene Weible, Electronic Services Consultant. Focus on Children and Young Adults Institute: Save the Date! [Menucha]The Focus on Children and Young Adults Institute will take place September 21-24, 2014 at the Menucha Retreat Center in the Columbia Gorge. The Focus Institute seeks to provide a foundation of professional knowledge about youth services necessary for the operation of small public libraries in Oregon. Participants will attend several training sessions over the course of three and a half days. The sessions concentrate on the principles of public library services to children and teens, and how to put those principles into practice. Some of the 2014 sessions include Early Literacy 101, Storytime Best Practices, Afterschool Programs for the Elementary Set, Becoming Thinkers (i.e. how kids learn to read), Outreach (children and teens), Summer Reading (children and teens), and Teen Readers' Advisory. Sessions are presented by highly skilled, experienced Youth Services Librarians in Oregon. Presenters are typically active members of the Oregon Library Association's Children's Services Division (CSD) and Oregon Young Adult Network (OYAN). Registration will begin mid-July. Visit the State Library's website or contact Katie Anderson for more information. 2014-2015 Ready to Read Grant Applications Now Available The Ready to Read Grant program will be funded at 97? per child, a total of $729,472 will be distributed among libraries submitting successful applications in 2014-2015. Grant application packets were mailed June 18th. Library directors and Ready to Read key contacts should now have the packets which contain the application, list of proposed grants, and answers to frequently asked questions about the grant program. The application is also available on the State Library website to download, complete, and mail. Applications must be postmarked August 31, 2014 to qualify for the grant. For more information, contact Katie Anderson, 503-378-2528. Remember, the proposed changes to the Ready to Read Grant Program still have to go through the legislative process and, if approved, Reading for Success will replace Ready to Read starting with the 2015-2016 grant cycle. Did you know...? 17 hose streams were employed against the fire at the Oregon State Capitol in April 1935, using approximately 3,500,000 gallons of water, according to a report issued by Oregon Insurance Rating Bureau. Fire companies from Salem and Portland were dispatched to the scene. The Oregon National Guard issued an April Fools' Day edition of the Oregon Guardsman newsletter in 1962. There was a measure on the November 4, 1913 ballot to create a State Industrial Accident Commission. (It passed.) The State Library has in its collections a twenty-five cent piece of sheepskin scrip from 1933, secured by Morrow County municipal warrants. Former governors Charles A. Sprague, John H. Hall, Elmo Smith, and Robert D. Holmes attended the inauguration ceremonies of Tom McCall as governor of the state of Oregon on January 9, 1967. As of February 1988, a half-million gallons of nuclear weapons wastes had leaked at the Hanford site from 149 single-walled storage tanks built between 1943 and 1964. In 1933-1934, a 1.5-percent retail sales tax was proposed, in the hopes of producing $4,000,000 annually for Oregon schools. (Oregon has never had a sales tax.) [Harney]You can see images of Oregon ghost towns in the State Library's online photo collection, such as Harney City, which was located where Rattlesnake Creek enters Harney Valley in Eastern Oregon. Fiona the Flu Fighter has a hint for you. You can get to all this information (and much more!) by visiting the new Digital Highlights from the Collection page at the Oregon State Library.

Wiki Page Created about Strong School Library Programs In March, the State Library reported about developments around school districts having to account for strong school library programs in the continuous improvement plans (CIP) that they submit to the Oregon Department of Education every three years. An ad hoc committee of OLA, OASL, and OLA Legislative Committee members formed to communicate about these changes and about the value of strong school libraries with various audiences. The group mailed a letter and related information to all Oregon school district superintendents and to superintendents and key staff at the nineteen education service districts in the state since they often help smaller districts write CIPs. Next, OLA and OASL posted a press release and sent it to assorted outlets including the Oregon PTA, and OregonLive quickly published a story. The last leg of the strategy involves public or academic librarians or writing faculty meeting with superintendents to offer information about how to address the OAR requirements, to relate the effects of lack of information literacy skills on students as they navigate the higher education world, to discuss the tie-in with Accelerated Learning, and more. To that end, the group created a School Library Talking Points wiki page to help advocates gain background knowledge and prepare for meetings. Anyone is welcome to browse the page. If you have questions or want to get involved, please contact Jennifer Maurer, the School Library Consultant at the State Library.

The first, released in January of 2014 , virtually growled its disapproval of the ?bulk collection? of telephone metadata of millions of Americans under Section 215 of the USA Patriot Act, which it criticized as highly intrusive and largely ineffective in promoting national security. The Board?s second report was approved and released today. According to ALA coalition partner experts at the Electronic Frontier Foundation , however, this second effort is as ?anemic? when it comes to protecting personal privacy as the first was robust. In ?Report on the Surveillance Program Operated Pursuant to Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, ? for example: The board skips over the essential privacy problem with the . . . program: that the government has access to or is acquiring nearly all communications that travel over the Internet. The board focuses only on the government?s methods for searching and filtering out unwanted information. This ignores the fact that the government is collecting and searching through the content of millions of emails, social networking posts, and other Internet communications, steps that occur before the PCLOB analysis starts. Further, despite the dictates of the Fourth Amendment, the Board essentially endorses the use of general warrants to search through the content of unimaginable numbers of communications of millions of Americans in broad pursuit of ?foreign intelligence? here and abroad. The report ?takes no position? on the NSA?s claimed exception to the warrant requirement when the government seeks foreign intelligence. As EFF notes, ?The Supreme Court has never found this exception.? Concluding that the sweeping Section 702 program is ?clearly authorized by Congress, reasonable under the Fourth Amendment, and an extremely valuable and effective intelligence tool,? PCLOB doesn?t propose a single legislative change to better protect Americans? privacy in its new report. Rather, the Board suggests that the NSA voluntarily adopt a number of ?procedures? intended to increase transparency and accountability. *Not good enough.* As ALA Washington Office executive director, Emily Sheketoff, made clear in a press statement this morning: ?While we respect the Board?s efforts, its recommendations are a serious disappointment. Weaker than many Congressional calls for action to reform Section 702 from across the political spectrum, and at odds in part with respected jurists, PCLOB?s recommendations should be considered an absolute floor for 702 reform and a spur to immediate and broad legislative expansion. ALA?s 57,000 members will continue to fight for nothing less.? Sign up now for more information about how you can help push critical Section 702 reforms through the House and give them wings in the Senate. *Further Background* Report: Oversight Board Finds Little Wrong With NSA Surveillance Program , *Wired *July 2, 2014 Government Privacy Watchdog Signs Off on Much of NSA Warrantless Wiretapping Program , ACLU Blog July 2, 2014 http://www.districtdispatch.org/2014/07/watchdog-whimpers-new-federal-privacy-protection-agency-report-proposes-legal-fixes-invasive-702-warrantless-surveillance-program/ -- *Diedre Conkling* *Lincoln County Library DistrictP.O.

Of these, about 85 percent worked in one full-time job, 8 percent worked in one part-time job, and 8 percent had multiple jobs. This First Look report presents findings from the 2008/12 Baccalaureate and Beyond Longitudinal Study (B&B:08/12), a nationally representative longitudinal sample survey of students who completed the requirements for a bachelor's degree during the 2007-08 academic year. Other findings from B&B:08/12 include the following: * On average, 2007-08 graduates who had never enrolled in additional postsecondary degree programs after earning their bachelor's degree had held two jobs in the 4 years since graduation. Thirty-nine and 34 percent had held one or two jobs, respectively. Sixteen percent had held three jobs, and the remaining 11 percent had held four or more jobs. * On average, graduates who had not enrolled after earning their bachelor's degree were employed for about 84 percent of the months that elapsed between their graduation in 2007-08 and the second follow-up study in 2012. Some 6 percent of the time between graduation and the second follow-up study, on average, was spent unemployed, and the remaining 10 percent was spent out of the labor force. * Bachelor's degree recipients who had been employed in their current job for more than 3 months at the time of the second follow-up and were not enrolled, worked an average of 41 hours per week in that job. The First Look report and data files are products of the National Center for Education Statistics at the Institute of Education Sciences, part of the U.S. Department of Education. To view the full report, please visit http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=2014141.

The letter supports the proposed E-rate order (which is currently behind closed doors and under close review at the Commission in preparation for a vote on Friday). The letter is the result of extensive thought and negotiation among the library community?representing the smallest to the largest public libraries?and speaks to the shared vision that this E-rate order is a critical opportunity to dramatically improve library connectivity to and within the library building. Our message to the Commission and stakeholders at large: We believe that the time to act is now so that changes made today in Washington, D.C., can take hold immediately in communities across the country? While our diverse organizations may differ on some of the details on the best path forward for program improvements, we are in agreement that to delay this important first step will shortchange our nation?s public libraries and the communities they serve. Not only does the joint letter urge the Commission to move forward, it lays the groundwork for further strong library engagement in what is likely to be a continued reform process. ALA filed its formula proposal , over which we have been stewing, well, for several months if not since last summer when the concept of a budget for the E-rate program first surfaced. After much input from ALA?s E-rate task force, network experts, state library staff, and library directors, among others, we arrived at a square foot model. Basing Wi-Fi and internal wiring service needs on the library?s square feet is a metric that can work for all sizes of libraries. It is not dependent on libraries reporting data that all libraries may not collect the same way (potentially leading to delays in funding down the road because of prolonged review by USAC). Libraries know and report their square footage as part of the data they are required to report to IMLS and therefore the numbers are publicly available (and easily checked by the Commission and/or USAC). Gathering cost data as well as descriptions of how libraries design and implement their Wi-Fi networks resulted in a broad range of information that we distilled down to our proposal of $2.30 per square foot and a floor of 4000 square feet (or $9,200). Coming up with a refutable, robust, and reliable formula was a critical part of our advocacy at the Commission. Their current draft proposal appeared to be inadequate and, after an invitation from Commission staff to provide a better number, we were obligated to work a little harder and do a little more modeling (thank goodness for calculators and colleagues who can use them). We are gratified that PLA filed in support of the ALA proposal (also at the eleventh hour last night!). ALA is confident that the Commission hears our voice and is hopeful that the joint letter, our proposal and the independent support from PLA will help the Commission decide on a library formula that results in more libraries receiving more funding for Wi-Fi and internal wiring services. But wait, what does all this mean? Well that?s it exactly. Wait. After what has seemed like non-stop meetings, phone calls, letter drafting, and question answering, the public comment period is at an end. The Commission is set to vote on the draft order on Friday (3 more days!). At its open meeting, stakeholders will find out whether the draft order goes forward meaning that we?ll know 1. How the $2 billion down payment will be spent and we?ll know how the application process and administration of the program will be streamlined; 2. Which legacy services will be phased out and over what period of time, and 3. What issues related to building broadband capacity ?to? the library and school the Commission puts on the table to take up in what we hope will be the very near term. In the meantime, I plan to sit on my hands and patiently wait for Friday. http://www.districtdispatch.org/2014/07/mad-dash-end-beginning-fcc-readies-e-rate-vote/ -- *Diedre Conkling* *Lincoln County Library DistrictP.O.

[IMLS logo] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 11, 2014 IMLS Press Contact 202-653-4799 Giuliana Bullard, gbullard at imls.gov IMLS Announces New Awards to Strengthen Early Learning Activities at Libraries and Museums Washington, DC?Today, IMLS announced three new awards to engage libraries and museums as key partners in comprehensive early learning strategies. Three separate awards totaling $771,854 will be awarded to the Georgia Public Library Service, OCLC, and the BUILD Initiative. These new investments follow up on recommendations made in Growing Young Minds: How Museums and Libraries Create Lifelong Learners, a policy report that called upon policymakers, schools, funders, and parents to make full use of these vital, existing community resources. IMLS Director Susan H. Hildreth said, ?Too many children are starting school without the academic and social skills they need for success. Libraries and museums are effective, but often overlooked, resources in our nation?s effort to turn around a crisis in early learning, exposing children to reading and powerful learning experiences in the critical early years and keeping them learning through the summer months. With these awards, IMLS is taking action to create new opportunities for children, especially those in the lowest socioeconomic status who are the least likely to be able to participate in library and museum programming.? While IMLS continues to make investments at the project level including more than $6 million awarded in individual projects in libraries and museums in FY 2012 and 2013, the investments announced today are intended to make an impact at the systems level. Today?s investments will create stronger relationships among libraries, museums and state level early education providers and develop tools to speed the adoption of evidence-based practice throughout the library and museum communities. The BUILD Initiative - Boston, MA Award: $314,884 A cooperative agreement between IMLS and the BUILD Initiative will create deliberate and mutually beneficial connections between the efforts of museums and libraries and those of early childhood systems? builders to support the growth and development of children from birth to age eight, with an emphasis on children from birth to age five. The partnership will build relationships across the fields/sectors and embed connections in ways that can be replicated and sustained. All objectives will be achieved through engagement with library, museum and early learning leaders in five pilot states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Washington. Note: BUILD will present a webinar on the project on August 4th at 2:00 p.m. EST. Check the BUILD website in the coming weeks for more details: http://www.buildinitiative.org/OurWork/LearningCommunity/UpcomingEvents.aspx Georgia Public Library Service - Atlanta, GA Award: $249,895; Match: $103,449 This project is designed to provide a customized early literacy program within libraries to reach parents of young children. Youth librarians in Georgia?s public libraries will provide a learning environment using one of two programs, Prime Time or Every Child Ready to Read (ECRR), to educate parents and caregivers in the importance of early literacy. Monitoring and evaluation of the program will determine the benefits of providing the customized B4 early literacy program for parents of very young children. The evaluation will demonstrate whether Prime Time or ECRR works better in Georgia and which should be continued statewide after the pilot ends. The evaluation will examine the core curriculum for staff and the database-driven website to determine if these aspects enhanced the success of the Prime Time or ECRR library programs in creating a successful customized Birth to Four Early Literacy Program. OCLC Online Computer Library Center, Inc. - Dublin, OH Award: $207,075; Match: $69,129 The grant will support an 18-month project in five states and in partnership with Washington State Library and Thrive by Five Washington, two leaders in that state?s early learning efforts. The aim of the new program will be to introduce a new service model to public libraries for library staff to deliver interactive programs for young children that will impact early childhood literacy. Thousands of U.S. public libraries offer programs, such as story time, for young children and are already attuned to early literacy best practices. The methodology and tools used in this model were researched, designed and tested by the University of Washington, and piloted in 20 libraries in collaboration with Washington State Library from 2009 to 2014. The results showed that intentional focus on early literacy skills improved results for young children. The new service model, based on the rigorously researched and field-tested approach, can now be applied broadly to augment the efficacy of current library programs. About the Institute of Museum and Library Services The Institute of Museum and Library Services is the primary source of federal support for the nation's 123,000 libraries and 35,000 museums. Our mission is to inspire libraries and museums to advance innovation, lifelong learning, and cultural and civic engagement.

The passage of the bill comes after the U.S. Senate passed this legislation on a 95-3 vote on June 25th. In a statement , the American Library Association (ALA) gave special thanks to Senator Jack Reed (D-RI) and Representative Rush Holt (D-NJ) for their long-time efforts to include libraries in this legislation. ?We would like to thank Senator Reed and Representative Holt for their many years of work to ensure that public libraries are recognized as places where jobseekers can go for job search assistance and employment training,? said ALA President Courtney Young. ?With over 16,000 public libraries in the United States today, public libraries are often the only place in a community where people can receive these services at no charge. This bill recognizes the many ways that public libraries help Americans get back to work.? The Workforce Investment and Opportunity Act provides the following provisions for American?s libraries: - *Allows public libraries to be considered additional One-Stop partners.* Libraries will now have access to federal funding for job training and job search programs. - *Functions of the State and Local Workforce Development Board.* State and Local Workforce Boards must include plans to improve digital literacy skills at One-Stop delivery systems. - *Prohibits federal supervision or control over selection of library resources.* - *Allows statewide employment and training activities.* Authorizes adult education and literacy activities provided by public libraries as an allowable statewide employment and training activity. - *Defines workforce preparation activities.* Includes a definition of ?workforce preparation activities? that specifically includes digital literacy skills. Moving forward, the Workforce Investment and Opportunity Act will now be sent to the President for his signature. http://www.districtdispatch.org/2014/07/ala-applauds-congress-passing-workforce-investment-opportunity-act/ -- *Diedre Conkling* *Lincoln County Library DistrictP.O.

[http://images.tandf.co.uk/common/jackets/weblarge/978075067/9780750673556.jpg] Denning, Stephen. The Springboard: How Storytelling Ignites Action in Knowledge-Era Organizations. Routledge, 2011.

Denning teaches storytelling as a powerful and formal discipline for organizational change and knowledge management. His book explains how organizations can use certain types of stories ("springboard" stories) to communicate new or envisioned strategies, structures, identities, goals, and values to employees, partners and even customers.

Please see Monday?s District Dispatch post. Sources in the House Democratic Leadership tell ALA that the majority chose not to proceed with the amendment due to widespread opposition from the library and school community. Thank you to everyone that made calls to their House Member to defeat this amendment. http://www.districtdispatch.org/2014/07/amendment-offered-limit-fccs-funding-ability-e-rate/ -- *Diedre Conkling* *Lincoln County Library DistrictP.O.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: I have attended many Progressive Library Guild events at ALA Conferences and read their publication and Facebook page. They are great and work outside the bureaucracy of ALA so have flexibility to do things that ALA SRRT doesn't do because it is different to be within the bureaucracy and outside the bureaucracy. Both groups are needed. OLA SRRT can easily have conference programs at OLA conferences, use the OLA website and Memberclicks for communication and easily report activities to the OLA Board and work to get OLA Board backing on projects. OLA SRRT also has small membership dues so that there is funding to do various activities. So, both great groups that may have much of the same membership but they have some differences that are important to note and allow for different kinds of activities.

Info Sharing Legislation Advancing in Senate Posted on July 16, 2014 by Adam Eisgrau As recently reported , Senate Intelligence Committee ?markup? and approval of the privacy-hostile Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2014 (CISA), S. 2588 , was delayed until after Congress? brief July 4 recess . . . but not for long. Again meeting in secret, the Committee approved a somewhat modified (but insufficiently improved) version of the bill on July 10. Like three other similar bills introduced in the past four years, CISA is intended to head off and remediate hacking and other threats to communications and government electronic networks by authorizing private communications companies to share evidence of those ?cybersecurity threats? with multiple arms of the federal government. To enable and encourage such reporting, however, it also effectively immunizes those companies against any legal action that might be brought against them by individual customers whose private information is disclosed without their permission. So what?s wrong with preventing and blunting cyber-attacks? Nothing, *except* that CISA and its predecessors foster that laudable objective in the most overbroad way possible without building in important, entirely reasonable and wholly achievable safeguards for Americans? privacy. As ALA?s coalition partners at the Open Technology Institute of the New America Foundation and Electronic Frontier Foundation have pointed out in new analyses of the bill, as passed by the Senate Intelligence Committee, that CISA: - compels military involvement in previously civilian cybersecurity programs by requiring that cyberthreat information be instantly shared with the Department of Defense, NSA and Director of National Intelligence; - so broadly defines key terms like ?cybersecurity purpose? and ?cybersecurity threat? as to maximize threats to individual privacy rather than minimize them; - disturbingly authorizes the use of ?countermeasures? against perceived threat sources; - makes no effort to effectively limit the amount of consumers? personally identifiable information swept up in companies? threat reports; - permits companies to monitor their customers accounts and activities to a much greater extent than current law permits; and - gives companies that share information virtually blanket immunity for any harm caused their customer as a result of unjustified or excessive sharing, or of ?countermeasures? taken against them improperly or erroneously. With CISA now reportedly supported not just by the intelligence community but by powerful interests in the banking, securities and other industries , ALA and its coalition partners are concerned that it could be among the few bills that the Senate actually takes up in the waning days of the current (pre-August break) legislative session and the current Congress, which is likely to adjourn not long after Labor Day until after the November 2014 mid-term elections. Accordingly, we and our partners yesterday delivered a letter to President Obama calling on him to publicly indicate that he will veto CISA, or any similarly overbroad and dangerously imbalanced ?cybersecurity? legislation that fails to much more fully protect all of our personal privacy. The President issued such a statement in 2012 regarding similar legislation. ALA and its partners will also continue, of course, to fight CISA in the Senate and it?s entirely likely that we?ll need your help. Sign up now to learn what you can do when the call comes. http://www.districtdispatch.org/2014/07/president-asked-ala-partners-threaten-veto-privacy-hostile-cybersecurity-info-sharing-legislation-advancing-senate/ -- *Diedre Conkling* *Lincoln County Library DistrictP.O.

We've been investigating approaches to locking down its settings and existing apps, and controlling which features are available. Options we've considered include the iPad's own "Restrictions" settings and third-party managers like Meraki, which are all somewhat limited in what they control. Has anyone found a strategy for securing iPads for public use, and/or enforcing a time limit per session, that you would recommend?

[IMLS logo] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 17, 2014 IMLS Press Contact 202-653-4799 Giuliana Bullard, gbullard at imls.gov Call for Nominations: 2015 National Medal for Museum and Library Service [photo of the national medal]Washington, DC?For more than 20 years, the Institute of Museum and Library Services has recognized museums and libraries that make extraordinary contributions to their communities. The National Medal for Museum and Library Service is the nation?s highest honor for exemplary service by these institutions. IMLS is now accepting nominations for the 2015 National Medal for Museum and Library Service. Nomination forms are due October 15, 2014. All types of nonprofit libraries and library organizations, including academic, research, archives, school, special, library associations, and library consortia, are eligible to receive this honor. Public or private nonprofit museums of any discipline (including art, history, science and technology, children?s, and natural history), as well as historic houses, nature centers, zoos, and botanical gardens, are eligible. Winners are honored at a ceremony in Washington, D.C., host a two-day visit from StoryCorps to record community member stories, and receive positive press attention through a media campaign. Approximately thirty finalists are selected as part of the process and are featured by IMLS as part of a six-week social media and press campaign. Winning the medal elevates an institution?s profile and can positively impact fundraising, programming, and outreach activities, as noted by these past recipients: Since receiving the National Medal in 2009, Braille Institute?s Library Services has been able to raise its profile in the community via our website, Summer Reading, and annual Open House programs. The National Medal allowed us to invite notable guests--including well known actresses, authors, and narrators--to participate in our annual Library Open House programs. ?Dr. Henry C. Chang, Braille Institute Library Services, Los Angeles, CA The recognition we received along with the National Medal gave us that credibility as a nationally recognized museum, and catapulted us into a category alongside so many other respected cultural venues. The recognition for us on a national level trickled down to the regional and local levels, and the community has really caught notice. ?Carolyn Eller, Erie Art Museum, Erie, PA, a 2011 winner The Flint Public Library was deeply honored to receive the National Medal for Museum and Library Service in 2004. Our achievement opened the door to have conversations with community members and also with major funders regarding the significance of the award and, more importantly, the importance of the community-based programming that led to the award in the first place. ?Kay Schwartz, Flint Public Library, Flint, MI Anyone may nominate a museum or library for this honor, and institutions may self-nominate.

We are collaborating on his Poet Laureate Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/PeterSearsPoetLaureate I would be pleased if you would like the page and encourage others to do so. Peter has been posting some really great poems that I'm sure you will enjoy. If there is a way you can promote Peter's page to the public (e.g., a newsletter or web site) that would be wonderful. Peter's Facebook page is a way he is attempting to extend the reach of the Oregon Poet Laureate. We are trying to get to 1,000 likes before the end of his term. Also, I want to call your attention to Peter's official Oregon Poet Laureate website: http://oregonpoetlaureate.org/ Two things of particular interest are the "calendar" page that includes a web form for you to request an appearance at your library. Peter intends to carry on the great tradition begun by his predecessors Lawson Inada and Paulann Petersen and make appearances in libraries of all types, large and small, throughout the state. Please use the form to make an appearance request. Peter will try to honor as many requests as possible during his two year term as Oregon Poet Laureate. The other thing you will want to look at on the website is the "Expanding Voices" page. This is Peter's special project to feature poets from other cultures to read with him at his appearances. He would love you to think about how he could team up with one or more people in your town who write poetry in another language to share the podium with him. Finally, I hope you know about Peter's new book, Small Talk: New and Selected Poems, that certainly belongs on the shelf of every Oregon library: http://lynxhousepress.org/?s=Peter+Sears&x=0&y=0 Please let me know if you have any questions about Peter's plans for his term as Oregon Poet Laureate.

The ALA and ACRL joined nine other national higher education and library organizations in filing joint public comments (pdf) with the FCC. The joint comments build on the ALA resolution adopted by Council at the 2014 Annual Conference and align with the 2014 legislative agenda developed by ACRL. They also provide greater detail for the network neutrality principles released July 10 and suggest ways to strengthen the FCC?s proposed rules (released May 15, 2014) to preserve an open internet for libraries, higher education and the communities they serve. For instance, the FCC should: - explicitly apply open Internet rules to public broadband Internet access service provided to libraries, institutions of higher education and other public interest organizations; - prohibit ?paid prioritization;? - adopt rules that are technology-neutral and apply equally to fixed and mobile services; - adopt a re-defined ?no-blocking? rule that bars public broadband Internet access providers from interfering with the consumer?s choice of content, applications, or services; - further strengthen disclosure rules; - charge the proposed ombudsman with protecting the interests of libraries and higher education institutions and other public interest organizations, in addition to consumers and small businesses; - continue to recognize that libraries and institutions of higher education operate private networks or engage in end user activities not subject to open Internet rules; and - preserve the unique capacities of the Internet as an open platform by exercising its well-established sources of authority to implement open Internet rules, based on Title II reclassification or an ?Internet reasonable? standard under Section 706. The joint comments mark another definitive statement on behalf of all types of libraries and the communities we serve, but are simply one more step in a long journey toward our goal. There?s more to be done, and librarians can make their voices heard in a number of ways: 1. *Email* to the ALA Washington Office (lclark[at]alawash[dot]org) examples of Internet Service Provider (ISP) slowdowns, lost quality of service relative to your subscribed ISP speeds, and any other harm related to serving your community needs. Alternately, please share examples of potential harm if we do not preserve the open internet (e.g., impact on cloud-based services and/or ability to disseminate digitized or streaming content on an equal footing with commercial content providers that otherwise might pay for faster ?lanes? for their content over library content). 2. Ask your board to support and/or adopt the network neutrality principles. Several people in attendance at the Annual Conference program on the topic suggested this, and the ALA Washington Office will develop and share a template for this purpose in the coming weeks. http://www.districtdispatch.org/2014/07/ala-acrl-file-net-neutrality-comments-fcc/ -- *Diedre Conkling* *Lincoln County Library DistrictP.O.

One standard we have tried is to accept replacements only of new items (or used items in as-new condition) with the same ISBN as the lost or damaged item. This requirement often ends up deterring patrons from trying the replacement route, if they are not familiar with ISBNs and don't feel comfortable with the concept. And of course if they lost or damaged an older item without an ISBN, this becomes more difficult. Finally, as others have said, sometimes you don't *want* the exact same item replaced, if it's an out-of-date edition or contained obsolete information. You just want the money, so that you can purchase something appropriate for your collection. Another thing we do (like a lot of libraries) is to charge a processing fee of $5 in addition to the replacement cost of the item, since our costs are not just the purchase price but all the staff time and materials involved in placing an order and processing a newly-received item. Even when we accept an item the patron purchased as a replacement for the lost item, they still owe us the $5 processing fee, since we still have to catalog the item and cover it and label it. Given our staff and materials costs in processing a donated item, and all the confusion that can surround replacing the item correctly, it usually ends up being simpler to tell the patron that we can't accept a donated item in lieu of the replacement cost. Good luck with your policy decision!

URL: From elke.bruton at state.or.us Wed Jul 23 15:08:27 2014 From: elke.bruton at state.or.us (Elke Bruton) Date: Wed, 23 Jul 2014 22:08:27 +0000 Subject: [Libs-Or] What Oregon Battle of the Books can do for you Message-ID: Dear Oregon Library Colleagues, Recently, I posted an open volunteer position with Oregon Battle of the Books: the Administrative Chair position that I am currently occupying. However, I have not gotten much response and I think it's because I came at this from the wrong angle. I told you all about what I've done for OBOB-ie; the position description. Just the facts; what OBOB is and does and what all YOU can do for OBOB as the Administrative Chair. But let me tell you what OBOB has done for me and what it could, in turn, do for you. The Oregon Battle of the Books is a statewide voluntary reading motivation program sponsored by the Oregon Association of School Libraries in conjunction with a Library Services and Technology Act grant. Students in 3rd-12th grades, regardless of ability, are exposed to quality literature representing a variety of literary styles and viewpoint. The mission is to encourage and recognize students who enjoy reading, to broaden reading interests, to increase reading comprehension, promote academic excellence, and to promote cooperative learning and teamwork among students. When I joined OBOB in May 2012 my understanding of the program was minimal. I understood the concept, as described above, but not the actual nuts and bolts. I was completely out of my league in terms of the body of work and was pretty sure that I was going to fail miserably and be asked to "move on" as politely and quickly as possible. I was only hoping it would be sooner rather than later because I didn't want to ruin the Statewide Committee's hard work and dedication. What I found was a truly collaborative group of people following a single mission. Everyone was willing to share information with me and give me plenty of time to work through the details of my position. In turn, I and my fellow co-chairs proposed lots of changes to the organization structure and operation of OBOB. We were met with a surprising amount of cooperation...surprising because the OBOB Statewide Committee is a group of well over 40 people. That's a HUGE amount of people when you're trying to reach consensus! It takes a group that is, overall, very amenable to change and willing to try new things and take risks. What I learned was a tremendous amount of patience and diplomacy. Through working with the Statewide Committee and, throughout the year, communicating with parents, teachers, professionals, students, and everyone in between I got lots of practice at not reacting from the hip-taking deep breaths, thinking through my communications, and overall, becoming a better communicator and facilitator. Yay me, right? Sure, okay, maybe. But, what I'd like to see happen is for this really cool volunteer position to be passed on to somebody else. To give somebody like YOU a chance to enjoy working with the fantastic team of people who make up the Oregon Battle of the Books. The position description is available if you want to know more...but first ask yourself, ? Do you want a challenge? ? Do you like to get out of your comfort zone to learn something new? ? Do you like meeting new people and working collaboratively? ? Do you think that getting young people excited about reading is important? If so, consider joining the Oregon Battle of the Books statewide committee as their Administrative Chair. You will shadow/apprentice me through the fall during the registration and book grants process. Attend the August meeting and the November meeting to get a feel for how the group dynamic works. "Listen in" on my email correspondence with teachers, students, parents, etc. and get a feel for the communications work. Take the reins in January. The commitment is two years...or longer, depending on YOU. Lastly, I want to share something that sums up the 'why I do what I do' question. It's from our State Librarian Emeritus, Jim Scheppke, written as part of our nomination for the Walt Morey Award in 2012: "I remember happening by a rural elementary school outside of Salem and seeing on the sign outside the school in big letters "GOING TO STATE! OBOB." What a thrill it was to see that sign. It's great to be a state champion in sports, but to aspire to be the state reading champs is really something special. OBOB makes that possible." Sincerely, Elke B OBOB Administrative Chair --------------------- Elke H.

What I have working now is a vast improvement over our last system, but I'm running into an error that is preventing me from using the circulation side of the program. Unfortunately, the free version does not include tech support, so the developers were unable to help me. If anyone has worked with this program or is willing to take a stab at offering advice, I'll lay out the issue below. Sorry for the cross-post if you are also a member of the prison-l listserv. I'm working in the Circulation application. When I attempt to loan a book, I get a "General Scheduling Error" (page three here http://www.docstoc.com/docs/57676684/Troubleshooting-Mandarin-M3 ). I've followed the steps listed to set the schedule to current dates, but no matter what dates I enter, I get the error message "An error occurred - updates will not be saved," and everything reverts back to the original settings. It's an old program - could it be that they didn't anticipate people using the free version 10 years after it was released, and the dates aren't supported? I know libraries use this software though, and I don't see any reference to this error online. Is there another area in the program that I need to enter schedule information? Could it be an issue caused by not having unencumbered web access? Any other sources I could ask for help? Thanks for any help and suggestions!

Description The main message of this book is that there is a pressing need for public librarians and other supporters of public libraries to be: * Aware of the political process and its implications for libraries; * Attuned to the interrelationships between policy and politics; and * Engaged in the policy process to articulate the need for policies that support public libraries. By offering data and real world examples, the authors present proposals for professional, policy-making, and political strategies that can strengthen the public library and its ability to meet the needs of individuals and communities.

Posted on July 29, 2014 by Larra Clark The American Library Association (ALA) and the Information Policy & Access Center (iPAC) at the University of Maryland College Park are extending the deadline for public libraries to gauge the quality of public access to the internet until August 8. The speed test study is funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), and is supported by the Association of Rural and Small Libraries, the Chief Officers of State Library Agencies, the Public Library Association, and the Urban Libraries Council.

Due to time constraints however, I'm not going to repost them in full but rather point you the web page that is only one click away! :) http://webjunction.org/find-training/free-events.html You will need to click through to the individual webinar registration/information link to find the exact time of each webinar. Remember, time zones matter! Mountain time is one hour ahead, Central is two hours ahead and Eastern is three hours ahead. Secondly, Webjunction has recently announced that their new Course Catalog is free and open to all library staff everywhere. They offer library-specific self-paced courses, webinar archives, and other great learning materials. All you need to do to access these learning resources is to create your free account and start learning today. Register here and follow the instructions on the right side of the page under, "Is this your first time here?" If you need additional assistance, please contact WebJunction directly. [LYRASIS_Logo.png]Last but not least, the Oregon State Library has renewed the statewide membership with LYRASIS through June 30, 2015! This means two things for library staff in Oregon: 1) there are vendor discounts that you can take advantage of and 2) library staff can participate in Lyrasis trainings at the member rate! In order to do so, each library staff person who wants to sign up for any training MUST register at the Lyrasis website (if you have not already done so previously) -- make sure to include your library name ("institution name") and "Oregon" as the state so that you will be eligible for this level of FREE membership. Please complete this member registration well in advance of any desired training dates since there will be some turnaround time in approving your member registration. Wrap up your summer by learning something new!

During that same time period, 4-year nonprofit institutions increased overall at 4 percent. However, for-profit institutions reported a 3 percent decrease. This First Look presents findings from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) fall 2013 data collection, which included three survey components: institutional characteristics for 2013-14-such as degrees offered, type of program, application information, and tuition and other costs; the number and type of degrees conferred from July 2012 through June 2013; and 12-month enrollment data for the 2012-13 academic year. Other findings include: * In 2013-14, of the 7,397 Title IV institutions in the United States and other jurisdictions, 3,122 were classified as 4-year institutions, 2,230 were 2-year institutions, and the remaining 2,045 were less-than-2-year institutions. * Institutions reported a 12-month unduplicated headcount enrollment totaling about 28.3 million individual students. Of these, roughly 24.5 million were undergraduates and approximately 3.8 million were graduate students. * Of the roughly 3 million students receiving degrees at 4-year Title IV institutions, 47 percent were 18- to 24-years old.

In the Washington Office our copies are dog-eared with ink in the margins, and many phrases underlined or marked ??? but we have started to pull themes together to understand how the changes will impact libraries. We are pleased to see that many of ALA?s recommendations have indeed been adopted?testament to the hard work we asked of our members, especially the E-rate Task Force, as well as those of the Public Library Association (PLA) and the Association for Rural and Small Libraries (ARSL). We also gained valuable insight from the Chief Officers of State Library Agencies (COSLA) and the Urban Libraries Council (ULC). The Order represents a full year of consistent effort on the part of the Commission and stakeholders alike, hours of discussions and negotiations, but it is not the end of the modernization efforts. The Order includes a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (FNPRM) which asks for specific input on issues the Commission feels could benefit from additional detailed information from the public. Most importantly for ALA?s ongoing effort to address the continued lack of high-capacity broadband are the questions in the FNPRM that discuss the future funding needs for the E-rate program. The Commission opened the door for a full investigation into the gap between the current level of connectivity to libraries and schools and the capacity goals adopted in the Order. This will, in part, determine realistic costs on which to base the ?right size? of the fund. At the same time we plan to continue our call for specific emphasis on those libraries that are furthest behind the gigabit goals as we continue to see the modernization effort as an opportunity to make a significant dent in the broadband shortfall 66% of libraries still report. In the meantime while we prepare for the FNPRM, the Office for Information Technology Policy (OITP) Fellow, Bob Bocher, prepared a summary (pdf) of the Order which gives an overview of the major changes to the program and references the relevant paragraphs in the Order to provide necessary context for each change or modification. In addition to the summary, we encourage you to go to the USAC website where there is a dedicated page to the most up to date information concerning the E-rate modernization proceeding. FCC Chairman, Tom Wheeler, called on ALA to stay engaged in the coming months of the modernization effort. We plan to do just that. The Washington Office will continue its work at the Commission and with the library community as we begin the next phase. http://www.districtdispatch.org/2014/07/176-pages-many-hours-distilled-summary-july-11-e-rate-order/ -- *Diedre Conkling* *Lincoln County Library DistrictP.O.
