Return to top of page State Library News Children of State Employees Visit the State Library [BYCTWD]State employees and their children enjoyed activities at the State Library during Bring Your Child to Work Day in April. Parents and children toured the library building and learned about library resources by taking part in several hands-on activities. Genealogy volunteers assisted with family history research and filling in a family tree. Children used microfilm to read about the Apollo 11 lunar landing on July 21, 1969. City directories were used to find out, "Who used to live in your house?" The beautiful bronze medallions of state symbols, located in the State Library, were used to complete a crossword puzzle. Each participant received a special packet to take home. Forty-five parents and children attended. Public Library Statistical Cooperative Passes Changes to Annual Public Library Survey The national group that coordinates public library surveys has added a new item to the annual public library statistical survey. Starting this summer, we will try to add a count of annual wireless sessions. The definition of Reference Transactions was simplified. The fiscal year 2014 survey should be released in late July, 2014. For more information, please contact Ann Reed. Access to LearningExpress Library 2.0 ends in June [LELLogo]Just a reminder for those libraries who have not yet migrated to LearningExpress Library 3.0 that access to the older version (2.0) will be ending June 30. Users should be encouraged to finish any tests or tutorials they have started in 2.0, since this work will not transfer to version 3.0. Users are required to re-register their accounts when first using version 3.0. See the LearningExpress Library transition FAQ for more information. Information about how to access version 3.0 was sent library directors in January 2014. If you did not receive this information, please contact Arlene Weible, Electronic Services Consultant. Did you know...? The open source 'mailman' community has told us that the Oregon State Library hosts one of the largest 'mailman' mailing list installations in existence. Perhaps even the largest, but who keeps exact count? This open source software is utilized by many universities. We host 800+ mailing lists on behalf of state agencies and the Oregon library community. There are just shy of 600,000 total subscribers within these 800+ lists. The Department of Administrative Services is our largest client. We host nearly 120 lists for DAS. The remainder of the Top 5 includes ourselves, the Oregon State Library with (82), Oregon Department of Education (81), Department of Human Services (61), and Oregon Health Authority (46). Our largest list consists of over 42,000 subscribers. We utilize state employee-wide lists for purposes ranging from PEBB health announcements to PERS retirement information. One particular list of interest is "flagnotifications" where a staff member from the governor's office instructs schools and offices to lower flags to half-staff. Lists can be archived and in the case of Libs-Or, posts are available as far back as June 2007. The Libs-Or archive is not searchable as we host too many lists with too much traffic & data for indexing. However, archives can be sorted by: Thread, Author, and Date. An archive for an entire month can be downloaded as a text file. The earliest Libs-Or post in our archive was posted by Diedre Conkling about the following topic: "ALA Files Comments to FCC on Three Telecom Issues". Please let us know if we can host a library-related list for you. Return to top of page Other Library News Is Your Library the Best Small Library in America?

Impact Survey is Free to use until October 2014 [ISLogo]The Impact Survey is an online survey tool designed specifically for public libraries that want to better understand their communities and how people use their public technology resources and services. Written and validated by research staff at the University of Washington Information School, the Impact Survey is designed to quickly and easily provide busy librarians with useful data on how their patrons use library technology services. The program saves libraries the time and costs associated with writing, programming, analyzing, and reporting an in-house survey. The tool includes: * Cut and paste code with a variety of options for linking to the survey. * Easy-to-read data-oriented reports detailing survey results in charts and graphs. * Advocacy-oriented communication tools showcasing survey results. * Downloadable data for libraries that want to do deeper analysis of their survey results. Know your community. Improve your technology services. Understanding your community is essential to providing patrons with the technology services they need. The Impact Survey asks patrons about how they use library technology services like public computers, wireless networks, online resources, digital literacy training, as well as outcome-oriented use in the following areas: education, employment, entrepreneurship, health & wellness, eGovernment, civic engagement, eCommerce, and social inclusion.

Sager ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Emily Sheketoff Date: Tue, Jun 3, 2014 at 8:06 AM Subject: [alacro-l] New Report: "Digital Discoveries" To: "alacro-l at ala.org" Please share with your colleagues *New American Libraries supplement examines major trends in digital content* Washington, D.C.?Leading library visionaries and experts discuss trends in digital content technology and the current state of library ebook lending in ?Digital Discoveries ,? a new digital supplement from* American Libraries* magazine. ?There is some reason for optimism,? said Alan S. Inouye, guest editor of the digital supplement and director of the American Library Association?s (ALA) Office for Information Technology Policy (OITP). ?However, there remain many formidable challenges and exciting opportunities for libraries within the digital content realm in the coming years.? Developed by ALA?s Digital Content Working Group (DCWG), the digital supplement examines the ways that public and school libraries are defining their roles in the evolving digital publishing environment in a variety of new and interactive ways. The digital supplement also details ALA?s progress in advocating for equitable access to ebooks produced by the world?s largest book publishers. ?Each change in the publishing ecosystem has helped us gain a better understanding of what might be coming,? said Molly Raphael, former ALA president, in an article that provides an overview of the existing ebook lending landscape. ?Much work remains to be done, but we can say that ALA has made a difference in helping libraries and librarians find solutions for working in the digital world ecosystem.? ?We are on the cusp of beginning to see the full impact of the internet on the book business, and it will sweep away much of what we understand today about publishing,? said Peter Brantley, director of Scholarly Communication for Hypothes.is. In ?Beating the Odds,? Brantley discusses how libraries can insert themselves into the budding self-publishing industry by connecting authors to readers and assisting the publishing process by assembling tools and services for writers and editors, for instance. In ?School Library Ebook Business Models,? library ebook lending experts Christopher Harris, Ric Hasenyager, and Carrie Russell discuss optimal ebook licensing models for school libraries. According to the authors, school libraries?unlike public libraries?have the option to access content from major publishing companies via online retailer platform models, such as Amazon, Apple and Barnes & Noble. Roger Rosen provides a publisher?s perspective on the value of school libraries in the digital era. In ?Digital Resources in School Libraries,? he explains how libraries are the ?go-to destination for digital empowerment, training, and discovery? and how librarians are those that he ?trust[s] the most to separate the music from the noise.? In ?Ebook Discovery,? Larra Clark, director of the ALA Program on Networks, explores ways that libraries can better connect readers to new ebook writers and titles. Libraries are currently increasing ebook exposure and expanding their digital services in a host of ways, including partnering with ebook distributors, developing mobile apps for readers and increasing engagement with social media technology. Pew Internet Project researchers Kathryn Zickuhr and Lee Rainie provide perspectives based on three years of Pew reports on the rise in digital services in libraries in ?A New Way of Looking at Public Library Engagement in America." According to research cited in the article, Americans? connection?or lack of connection?with public libraries is part of their broader information and social landscape. The authors reference research showing that people who value and utilize public libraries most heavily tend to be active in other parts of their communities. The digital supplement concludes with a futuristic perspective on emerging digital technologies in ?Through the Google Glass, Dimly,? written by Roger E. Levien, president of Strategy and Innovation Consulting. Levien focuses on how to conceptualize the revolution in digital content, which facilitates envisioning where libraries fit in the reading ecosystem. Robert J. Rua of the Cuyahoga County (Ohio) Public Library provides a case study of a newspaper transitioning to the digital era and its collaboration with the local library. The supplement Digital Discoveries is the fourth *American Libraries* magazine supplement on ebooks and digital content. For more information about the ALA?s digital content activities, visit the *American Libraries* E-content blog . Read the full report: http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/28a54223 Join the ebook discussion at the 2014 American Library Association Annual Conference in Las Vegas. At the session ?ALA and Moving Ahead with Digital Content,? a panel of leading library and publishing experts will discuss ALA ebook activities and detail important digital content trends, including key policy issues that impact libraries. Print copies of this supplement will be available at the conference. The ALA Digital Content Working Group will host the session on Saturday, June 28, 2014, from 1:00 to 2:30 p.m. in the Las Vegas Convention Center, room N255/257. -- Suzanne L.

She is co-teaching with Jen Jumba, a public librarian who also teaches courses in the school?s MLIS program. According to Alman, ?There are dozens of categories that have been targeted for major research initiatives, and the results will have theoretical and practical effects on the ways in which libraries and archives strategically plan for the future. Some of these areas include astrophysics, big data, cybersecurity, transportation, robotics, agriculture, and many more.? The rapid development of new technologies also has enormous impact on the future of individuals and information organizations. Alman added, ?Professionals who have traditional library and archives roles must be aware of the information and technological advances in order to assist users, and they must be prepared for exciting new positions in all types of organizations.?

Be Eleven and One Crazy Summer, from the 2014 and 2011 lists respectively. The powerful way these authors treat social injustices stemming from racial and gender discrimination and gender non-conformity in their writing suggest they will be compelling speakers.* *Two authors whose books are on the Rainbow Project list will also be on the panel, **Tim Federle, Better Nate than Ever, and Sara Farizan, If You Could be Mine. The 2014 Rainbow Project list may be found at * *http://glbtrt.ala.org/rainbowbooks/* *.* *2.* *Introduction to Women?s Issues: The Staff Potluck* *1:00pm - 2:30pm* *Las Vegas Hotel - Ballroom E* *The topic for this year?s discussion is women?s role in the workplace. The Staff Potluck ? building social capital in the workplace through culinary skills! (or perpetuating stereotypes of women?s roles in the workplace?) The work of providing potluck provisions most often falls upon the women staff members who must invest their personal time and money in this endeavor. Some argue that the potluck serves as a way for women to develop social capital (i.e. as though we use these events to show off our culinary skills); maybe that is true for some. Too often, we see our lowest paid female employees making the most effort to provide the meals. Information about the following groups will also be presented: Committee on the Status of Women in Librarianship (COSWL), Feminist Task Force (SRRT/FTF) and the Women & Gender Studies Section of ACRL (ACRL/WGSS)* *3.* *Feminists' Night at the Movies* *8:00pm - 10:00pm* *Caesars Palace - Trevi* *GTFO the Movie, **http://www.gtfothemovie.com/* *, is a film exposing the harassment of women in video games. It features gamers, bloggers, scholars, developers, and other experts. Through this documentary the experiences of women in the gaming world, both good and bad, are revealed. There are also suggestions of steps we can take to change the environment for the better.* *Shannon Sun-Higginson, the producer and director, will be speaking at the program about the movie and will be answering questions. Shannon Sun-Higginson is a documentary filmmaker from New York City. She first discovered filmmaking in high school, where she founded and ran the school's first filmmaking club. She attended Wesleyan University, where she received her B.A. in Film Studies and English. During college, she also had her first documentary short "Hapa Perspectives" air on Current TV. She currently works as a Production Coordinator at Zero Point Zero Production on such documentary television programs as "No Reservations" on The Travel Channel and "Parts Unknown" on CNN.* -- *Diedre Conkling* *Lincoln County Library DistrictP.O.

Thank you for getting this message out to your local news outlets, social networking, and school networks. This is an issue important to all of us in the library community and I think that we can harness this momentum to make positive change! ***** Research Supports School Librarians? Impact on Student Learning Changes in Oregon law and other trends point to the necessity of licensed school librarians and their positive impact on student learning. The passage of the Strong School Libraries Act, or Oregon House Bill 2586, means that school districts are required to account for ?strong school library programs? in the continuous improvement plans (CIP) that they must submit to the Oregon Department of Education (ODE). A school district must show in its plan that it provides all students and staff in each school equitable access to: ? A comprehensive library program which provides instruction in information literacy and research proficiencies, promotes integration of digital learning resources, advances reading engagement, and creates collaborative learning opportunities with teachers. ? A professionally-developed and well-managed school library collection of current and diverse print and electronic resources that supports teaching and learning, college and career readiness, and reading engagement. Licensed school librarians, sometimes referred to as library media specialists or teacher librarians, positively impact student reading, writing, and information literacy skills in K-12 education. Yet, their numbers have dropped at an alarming rate. Data collected by the Oregon State Library in Salem show that the number of licensed school librarians in Oregon has dropped from 818 full-time equivalent in 1980 to only 144 in 2013. That is an 82% decrease. Conversely, the number of students per librarian has increased significantly. In 1980 there was one librarian per 547 students compared with almost 4,000 students per librarian in 2013. As a result, some students may never come in contact with a licensed school librarian during their K-12 years. The sizeable drop in numbers runs counter to the impact of school librarians on learning. Numerous impact studies point to increased reading and writing test scores when a full-time licensed librarian is employed in schools. A 2012 report entitled Creating 21st Century Learners: A Report on Pennsylvania?s Schools found that both reading and writing test scores increase significantly when a full-time licensed librarian is employed at a school. Furthermore, students at a school with a full-time licensed librarian are nearly three times as likely to score an advanced score on the state?s standardized writing test. An Oregon study, Good Schools Have School Librarians, found that if staffing, collections, and funding of library media programs grow, reading scores rise. As school districts recover from lean budget years, they will need to respond to the Strong School Libraries Act by strengthening their school library programs. In response to the need for more instructional support with the new Common Core Standards, some districts in Oregon are currently bringing back school librarian positions. Medford School District in southern Oregon recently posted three job openings for licensed school librarians. More positive changes like this one are needed in all areas of our state. Ultimately, this issue has to be addressed locally. Community members and parents can play a role in this trend by working with school districts to raise awareness of the importance of strong school libraries. Specifically, they can ask questions about the staffing and programming in their child's school library. For example, are the students in your neighborhood school served by a licensed school librarian? What information literacy and research instruction is your child receiving? Ask to review your school district?s response to the CIP. Does the library section match the program you know exists? For more information about how you can get involved, contact Nancy Sullivan, Oregon Association of School Libraries President, at president at oasl.olaweb.org or Penny Hummel, Oregon Library Association President, at phummel.ola at gmail.com, or consult the OASL webpage on this topic (http://bit.ly/1hbxpOm). -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Posted on June 5, 2014 by Adam Eisgrau As recently reported in District Dispatch , the Senate Judiciary Committee is preparing to consider the latest House-passed version of the USA FREEDOM Act later this month. As that ?markup? nears, ALA and more than 30 other leading national civil liberties and pro-privacy organizations have written to Majority Leader Harry Reid, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and to the Chairs and most senior minority members of the Senate Judiciary and Intelligence Committees. In the June 4 letter , ALA and its coalition partners point out that important privacy protection features of the USA FREEDOM Act approved by the House Judiciary and Intelligence Committees were stripped out or watered down in the final version of the bill recently passed by the House. As a result, among other problems, it is not now clear whether the House-passed bill truly ends the bulk collection of telephone record data as intended and claimed. The letter thus concludes: In the past, Section 215 of the Patriot Act was secretly interpreted to authorize a collection program far broader than the language of the section appeared to permit. The current administration is now arguing that Congress ratified its secret interpretation of that law based on secret explanations, which the executive branch provided to Congress. It is crucial that this time Congress and the public develop a complete understanding of what is and is not being authorized before Congress votes on the bill. We are confident that this can be achieved without compromising matters which must be kept secret to protect national security. We respectfully request that you take all necessary steps to do so. In a related and very welcome development, today the CEOs of nine of the nation?s most well-known and significant internet and technology companies (including Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft and Twitter) released their own letter to all Members of the Senate . It echoes and underscores the concerns about the House?s version of the USA FREEDOM Act raised in the organizations? letter described above and concludes: Confidence in the Internet, both in the U.S. and internationally, has been badly damaged over the last year. It is time for action. As the Senate takes up this important legislation, we urge you to ensure that U.S. surveillance efforts are clearly restricted by law, proportionate to the risks, transparent, and subject to independent oversight. No date has yet been set for Senate Judiciary Committee consideration and potential amendment of the USA FREEDOM Act but such action could well occur in just two or three weeks. Please watch District Dispatch for more news and, if you haven?t yet signed up to receive ALA ?action alerts,? now?s the time! http://www.districtdispatch.org/2014/06/30-civil-lib-groups-nine-top-tech-ceos-call-congress-get-surveillance-reform-right/ -- *Diedre Conkling* *Lincoln County Library DistrictP.O.

A company is not a color or cultural. And why would this be an issue? Picking someone that does the job best is more important than what they look like.

Max gets carried away from time to time and this posting was one of those. Haven't we all gone a bit too far from time to time, though maybe not quite so publicly. Racism is a real issue and one that Max faces daily. I don't so it is hard for me to judge how frustrated I would get. We do not have a lot of diversity in the library world, though it might be marginally better than 20 years ago. I know those of you at Multnomah think about this and have consciously looked at how to make changes. I look at it here in Lincoln County and I know we want to do more but haven't succeeded as much as we would like. I was just as uncomfortable as everyone else was with the comments made but decided to look beyond those particular words to where that kind of intense frustration comes from. Again, I'm a middle aged white woman who has not had the same experiences so I have to step back a bit and look at the big picture. Yes, I my first message was just written in hopes to move us off of this uncomfortable message and discussion but now I am thinking that the bigger discussion might be good and help us understand what causes such an angry and frustrated response.

URL: From mmacias at pcc.edu Mon Jun 9 12:06:25 2014 From: mmacias at pcc.edu (Max Macias) Date: Mon, 9 Jun 2014 12:06:25 -0700 Subject: [Libs-Or] Orbis Cascade Alliance communication with EBSCO and Ex Libris about data sharing In-Reply-To: References: <707d3e27ec944bff59b27e6da7ab51a5@cclsd.org> <4F411DA66BF8954CAE0E2BE2AA88C0B650A51045@exch-mbx.internal.thecityofnewport.net> <8A89C1D82D1A9749B71681D5D58667C76D72A0E6@SNAEXCMBX101A.admin.cci.edu> Message-ID: Thank you Diedre, for acknowledging that I am not a troll. You can bump me off you list if you desire, but that will just prove my point even more. You can have one less person of color to deal with in your daily routine... *Why does it matter that the company is in Israel?* *Are Israelis above diversity?* Libraryland does not have many people of color, and what I mean by it being white-supremacist is that libraries and librarians rarely, if ever tackle subjects that are relevant to people of color--subjects that are fundamental to our field--like Information Literacy, for example. This is but one glaring example where librarians fall short intellectually. I'll use a thought experiment here to try to illustrate what I mean. Suppose Germany had won WW2. Now suppose that some Jewish people survived and they were able to become academics in this new world. This new world will have information and what they call 'knowledge' that has been created by the newly installed culture. How can the Jewish person now relate to this information? Is the information valid without being questioned? Does this information and knowledge have in impact on how the culture runs? Is this information and knowledge the basis for education in this culture? Is the information 'true?' Would the Jewish people who pointed out that the information and knowledge they have is skewed by a White-supremacist lens be considered trolls and other derogatory terms? Indigenous people and other people of color live in a world similar to the pretend world I described above. What is really sad is that almost the entirety of the library world either doesn't notice this, or doesn't care to talk about it. I'm not surprised by the attack/s against me--I'm used to it--I operate in culture that is fundamentally white-supremacist, repentantly genocidal and that built it's wealth on the backs of slaves. My main point was, "Gee the board of Ex Libris seems to be homogeneous and that I don't think it is a good idea to do business with organizations who's leadership is homogeneous." I am leaving this conversation because I don't think it is worth the effort. It would be my hope though, that librarians would want to discuss these issues instead of attacking me.

[http://www.alastore.ala.org/images/conner300.jpg] Conner, Matthew. The New University Library: Four Case Studies. ALA Editions, 2014. ISBN: 978-0-8389-1193-8 Description The author takes on the subject of how university libraries are changing by studying four libraries in depth: * University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign * University of California at Merced * University of Hawaii at Manoa * University of California at Davis Topics such as reference, personnel, technology, collections, buildings, campus roles, and library culture are examined to determine how libraries are responding to current trends. Real-world practices and innovations are described that can be inspirational for all academic libraries. If you would like to request this or other materials from the Oregon State Library please use your library's established interlibrary loan process (e.g. OCLC or ALA request form). Otherwise, send your full name, the name of your library, complete title information, shipping address, and a phone number to the document delivery department at library.request at state.or.us or (fax) 503-588-7119. Items will be checked out to your library, not to you personally, for 4 weeks (print materials) or 2 weeks (videos). Materials will be delivered via mail or Orbis Cascade Alliance Courier, and you may return them the same way. Normally a single copy is purchased and is loaned on a first-come-first-serve basis. You may be put on a hold list for several weeks. Most library staff are able to use their library's interlibrary loan service to borrow professional development material. However, if you do not have access to these services or are not currently affiliated with a library, please contact me to discuss alternative options for borrowing the material. Be sure to check out our Library and Information Science (LIS) blog to discover the most recent additions to our LIS collection and search our catalog for our complete holdings. The library science collection is meant to support the whole Oregon library community. Library Development welcomes your suggestions for acquisitions - see the blog for an input form or email us! This collection is supported in whole by the Institute of Museum and Library Services through the Library Services and Technology Act, administered by the Oregon State Library.

I know those of you at Multnomah think about this and have consciously looked at how to make changes. I look at it here in Lincoln County and I know we want to do more but haven't succeeded as much as we would like. I was just as uncomfortable as everyone else was with the comments made but decided to look beyond those particular words to where that kind of intense frustration comes from. Again, I'm a middle aged white woman who has not had the same experiences so I have to step back a bit and look at the big picture. Yes, I my first message was just written in hopes to move us off of this uncomfortable message and discussion but now I am thinking that the bigger discussion might be good and help us understand what causes such an angry and frustrated response.

All of the content our members purchase must be fully available via our chosen discovery system. As you will recall, in April EBSCO announced a new metadata sharing policy. Since that time we have been analyzing this proposal and have engaged with both vendors. Now the Alliance Board has formally responded. In brief the Board's letter to EBSCO and Ex Libris says that we celebrate this step in the right direction but that it is not enough. The letter asks for a quick implementation timeline and a roadmap for more.

My guess is that similar to many Oregon communities, the ethnic groups you mentioned are not represented by large numbers of the population in Israel. I was just asking for clarification as I did not see a correlation between your hash tags and the link you provided. I honestly thought I missed part of a conversation. As a librarian who lives and works on the Oregon Coast, my perspective is that homogeneous systems are alive and well in the library field. This is not something I am proud of but like the many of my colleagues I am proud to be in a field which generally protects the democratic rights of its communities and I would never fault my organization, or any other, for its cultural makeup without first doing a ton of research. I believe when it comes down to it, at a fundamental level, many of us share your sentiments, Max. For instance, the major focal point of my work in public libraries is centered on information literacy instruction (just saw your recent post) and constantly learning new ways to sensitively address these needs for all members of my community. It is unfortunate if my request for clarification led to any "attacks" as I was only respectfully responding to a conversation.

I am critical of White Supremacists for example. I think Max shared an opinion and a perspective that is both valuable and personal for him. As a white woman that has worked in medical, public, and academic libraries for more than 20 years, the lack of both ethnic and gender diversity among library staff continues to trouble me. Until different people decide to become librarians... I have frequently tried to answer the question: Why would a person actively seek to be educated or employed in an industry that does not represent the cultural norms nor the diversity of the populations it serves? I believe that I am uniquely privileged to be on the right side of that issue and that disturbs me greatly. What I find most troubling in this discussion, is the lack of focus on the real issues raised. I will close by pointing out that Max also used the words diversity, culture and business - which the group chose to ignore. Respectfully, Megan Megan Dugan Library Manager Mt.

Really, I am. It was a knee-jerk reaction to being lumped in with white supremacists! :( My feelings were very hurt by that. Yes, I'm white but I've actively worked against discrimination in my community and nationally. I really do agree with you Max that the library world is not as diverse as it could be...just as there are not as many women in higher positions as there could be.

My guess is that similar to many Oregon communities, the ethnic groups you mentioned are not represented by large numbers of the population in Israel. I was just asking for clarification as I did not see a correlation between your hash tags and the link you provided. I honestly thought I missed part of a conversation. As a librarian who lives and works on the Oregon Coast, my perspective is that homogeneous systems are alive and well in the library field. This is not something I am proud of but like the many of my colleagues I am proud to be in a field which generally protects the democratic rights of its communities and I would never fault my organization, or any other, for its cultural makeup without first doing a ton of research. I believe when it comes down to it, at a fundamental level, many of us share your sentiments, Max. For instance, the major focal point of my work in public libraries is centered on information literacy instruction (just saw your recent post) and constantly learning new ways to sensitively address these needs for all members of my community. It is unfortunate if my request for clarification led to any "attacks" as I was only respectfully responding to a conversation. Thanks for responding, Paul On 6/7/2014 10:20 AM, Max Macias wrote: Did you not see the page? I didn't see any Asian, Latinos, or Blacks in their leadership. Please correct me if I am mistaken. Homogeneous systems are defunct. I'm saying that for a company who does business in the US, this organization's leadership seems AWFULLY homogeneous. Incidentally, from my perspective, those hash tags can cover the entire library industry. Thanks!

Although this particular conversation involves these two vendors, it is part of a broader principal. We continue to hold that libraries must be able to make independent decisions about content and discovery. All of the content our members purchase must be fully available via our chosen discovery system. As you will recall, in April EBSCO announced a new metadata sharing policy. Since that time we have been analyzing this proposal and have engaged with both vendors. Now the Alliance Board has formally responded. In brief the Board's letter to EBSCO and Ex Libris says that we celebrate this step in the right direction but that it is not enough. The letter asks for a quick implementation timeline and a roadmap for more.

The report presents statistics on crime and safety at schools and on college campuses using data collected from students, teachers, principals, and postsecondary institutions, drawing from an array of sources. The report covers topics such as victimization, bullying, school conditions, fights, weapons, the presence of security staff at school, availability and student use of drugs and alcohol, student perceptions of personal safety at school, and criminal incidents at postsecondary institutions. Key findings from this year's report include: * In 2012, students ages 12-18 were victims of about 1,364,900 nonfatal victimizations at school, including 615,600 thefts and 749,200 violent victimizations. The victimization rate for these students decreased from 181 victimizations per 1,000 students in 1992 to 52 victimizations per 1,000 students in 2012. * During the 2011-12 school year, a higher percentage of public than private school teachers reported being threatened with injury (10 vs. 3 percent) or being physically attacked (6 vs. 3 percent) by a student from their school. * In 2011-12, about 38 percent of teachers agreed or strongly agreed that student misbehavior interfered with their teaching, and 35 percent reported that student tardiness and class cutting interfered with their teaching. * In 2011, about 28 percent of 12- to 18-year-old students reported having been bullied at school during the school year and 9 percent reported having been cyber-bullied. * During the 2011-12 school year, 88 percent of public schools reported that they controlled access to school buildings by locking or monitoring doors during school hours, and 64 percent reported that they used security cameras to monitor the school. * In 2011, there were 30,400 criminal incidents at public and private 2-year and 4-year postsecondary institutions that were reported to police and security agencies, representing a 5 percent decrease from 2010 (31,900) and a 27 percent decrease from 2001 (41,600). However, the number of reported forcible sex crimes on college campuses increased by 52 percent, from 2,200 in 2001 to 3,300 in 2011. * The number of crimes per 10,000 full-time-equivalent students was lower in 2011 (19.7 per 10,000) than in 2001 (35.6 per 10,000). * The number of disciplinary referrals for drug law violations reported by public and private 2-year and 4-year postsecondary institutions increased from 20.5 per 10,000 students in 2001 to 33.8 per 10,000 students in 2011. Also, the number of referrals for liquor law violations per 10,000 students was higher in 2011 (128.1) than in 2001 (111.3).

Seeking nominations for the OLA Public Library Division Executive Board Nominations close on Friday, June 13. I hope to hear from many of you before then! Pam Greetings! The Public Library Division of OLA represents all public libraries in Oregon. The purpose of the PLD is to promote public library service and development, to promote the potential for increasing cooperation among public libraries, to represent the interests and concerns of public libraries in relation to the Oregon Library Association and the Oregon State Library and to develop legislative priorities for public libraries and other issues as may be pertinent to the Division. We are currently seeking candidates for the PLD Executive Board for the 2014-2015 year. New positions will begin in September 2014 and are open to members of OLA who support the purposes of the Division. We are seeking nominees for two Director-at-Large positions (2 year terms), Secretary (1 year term) and Vice Chair/Chair Elect (3 year term). For more information about the responsibilities of these positions, please visit http://www.olaweb.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=227. Joining the PLD Executive Board is a great way to meet new people and network with public library staff from around the state. Current Board members come from the Oregon coast, central Oregon, the Willamette Valley and the Portland Metro area. Please contact me (pamn at wccls.org) by June 13, specifying the Board position you are interested in. Remember, you must be a member of OLA and the Public Library Division to be considered. Elections will be held in July. Looking forward to hearing from many of you!

HathiTrust*, deciding that providing a full text search database and providing access to works for people with print disabilities is fair use. The court also ruled that the Authors Guild lacked standing, and therefore could not assert infringement claims against the HathiTrust. The Library Copyright Alliance (LCA) , of which the American Library Association (ALA) is a member, filed an amicus brief (pdf) in support of the HathiTrust. ALA President Barbara Stripling released the following statement in response to the ruling: ?The Second Circuit today affirmed more than a lower court decision?it affirmed that the fair use of copyrighted material by libraries for the public is essential to copyright law. ALA is pleased that the court recognizes the tremendous value of libraries in securing the massive record of human knowledge on behalf of the general public and in providing lawful access to works for research, educational, and learning purposes, including access for people with disabilities. ?The continued acknowledgement of the importance of fair use to enable learning and support for the development of a well-informed citizenry makes the U.S. copyright law unique and well-functioning.? This decision affirms that libraries can engage in mass digitization to improve the discovery of works and provide full access to those works to students with print disabilities enrolled at the respective HathiTrust institutions. The general public can search the database using keywords and locate titles held in 80 member institutions. Full text access to the underlying works is allowed only for students with print disabilities enrolled at the University of Michigan and certified as disabled by a qualified expert. Students with print disabilities are blind or have a handicap that prevents them from reading printed text. Because of the full conversion of the texts to digital format that is accessible, these students can use adaptive technologies, such as text-to-speech, to read. ALA will continue its defense of fair use in the *HathiTrust* case, should additional appeals be filed. http://www.districtdispatch.org/2014/06/ala-applauds-second-circuit-affirmation-fair-use/ -- *Diedre Conkling* *Lincoln County Library DistrictP.O.

In my day-to-day life, I am reminded that I and others, who aren't part of the racial majority in this state, are often overlooked, downplayed and even ignored. Most of this is unconscious or unintentional, because our culture is geared towards the majority, which is and has been white. For the average person who has been so imbued with seeing things via the dominant culture, it's extremely difficult to realize that seemingly innocuous comments (i.e., "you speak English really well" or "what are you?") and actions can be defeating or soul crushing, particularly if you've been hearing or seeing them for as long as you can remember. Racism isn't always someone screaming racial epithets or threatening minorities physically or emotionally. For many of us it's the small stuff, the stuff that may seem innocent or even earnest, but have a tremendous impact in our lives. And as for Max Macias' comment: I'm going to admit I wasn't comfortable with the hashtags, but I do think he asks a very good question about how we evaluate vendors who provide services to our users, many of who are people of color. The problem is: how many library vendors are there who are diverse or consider diversity as part of their mission and employment? Maybe we should begin asking. Just had to add my two cents.

I think we could start with contacting the ALA Office for Diversity to see if any work has been done in this area. http://www.ala.org/offices/diversity As far as addressing Max's concern as to where to spend our dollars, I know I have used RFP processes that give points for a company having a specific policy on diversity, for environmental sustainability, using unionized labor, having staff physically located in Oregon, and other categories that reflect a company's policies and priorities rather than just the goods and services it provides. None of these things got very many points in the RFP, as cost and services provided are usually considered the most important factors. They are also the kinds of things, in a formal RFP process, that weigh towards larger companies that have the infrastructure to address these issues. If that is worrisome to you, you can also give points or an exemption for small companies. Talk to your contracting department! To identify companies to contract with to begin with, there is the State of Oregon's Office of Economic & Business Equity ( http://www.oregon.gov/gov/MWESB/Pages/index.aspx), and the Business Xpress database (formerly "Minorities, Women and Emerging Small Businesses"?) at http://www.oregon.gov/business/Pages/index.aspx. These are the basic things we can be doing to ensure that public contracting dollars go to firms that value diversity. I don't know that it is enough. I personally value diversity because social equality is a moral imperative. Thank you Max and everyone else for speaking up.

This discussion is too important to our profession to tuck away. While the language and personal nature of Max?s initial email bothered me, it was successful in sparking introspection on the individual and institutional level. Let me first share a disturbing incident that happened on my campus last fall. I work in a community college and we have a student-run newspaper. The college mascot is a raccoon, known as the Bandit. In the spirit of trying something new, the student journalists decided, on their own, to start a new question/answer column in the paper ? ?Question the Coon.? Well, as you can imagine, that was a very ignorant and inappropriate title for the column, and these students had absolutely no historical knowledge for why this was inappropriate. The administration wanted to quickly sweep it under the rug before it gained too much attention in the immediate and greater community. Since I work with the diversity committee on campus, we pushed to use this incident as an educational moment, to perhaps hold a student forum or other gathering in which students, faculty, and staff could learn about history, learn about the power of language, and realize that racism is still alive and active through our daily language and actions. Our diversity group was also silenced ? a perfect example of how an ?institution? can either silence an educational moment or encourage it through continued discussion. Although racism is not as blatant as it existed prior to the Civil Rights movement, it?s probably more pervasive than ever, manifesting itself everywhere - in the lack of diversity in children?s literature, in television and other modes of pop culture, in the upper management of companies like the ones that the library industry deals with. MOST of all, it is lacking in our conversations where the tendency is to sweep it away to deal with later. I have to remind myself every day (and yes, I do) that, as a white, middle-class woman, library director, and incoming president of the Oregon Library Association, I continue to find myself in a position of power and privilege. And with power and privilege comes the responsibility to jump into difficult conversations, to continue difficult conversations, and to work with my colleagues to address how we can improve our profession and honor the people we serve and with whom we work. I will keep Max?s thoughts in the back of my mind as I go about my work and I hope that you do too. I hope that it serves to fuel good and positive conversations about how we can improve what we do as a library profession. Thanks for entertaining my thoughts!

In my experience, that awkward feeling is an unfailingly reliable indicator that more thought, more reflection, and more hard work is needed at that point and on that issue, whatever it may be. Even with the best intentions, it's far too easy to slip into a complacent sense that we're done with diversity. We're *never* done. I'd especially like to thank Linda Ueki Absher and my colleague Mark Kille for their thoughtful contributions, and to remind the weary that they can mute this conversation by clicking on "more" (in gmail).

Conversations about racism/lack of diversity, poverty, sexism, and other tough issues are difficult. They are supposed to be. Hopefully, they inspire us to work past our discomfort in the words we might use to express ourselves and even past any feelings of helplessness we might have to figure out as individuals, as libraries or library systems to support and encourage ourselves and our colleagues to build greater diversity in our profession and by example support diversity in our communities. It's too easy to silo topics. As professionals and residents of the 21st Century, we are buried with information. As a result, we make choices about what we read and what groups and listservs we belong to. I joined this listserv when I enrolled in Emporia's Portland cohort, even though I live and work in Washington. I remain a member because of the fabulous discourse, information and support on various topics. If I had a question, I know my Oregon library colleagues would generously help. That's the way things roll on Libs-Or. We don't have a listserve like this in Washington. (I'm on a WLA committee that is working to change that.) Racism may not overtly thrive in our communities like it did just a couple of decades ago, but it still lurks under the surface. I've heard library patrons grumble about other patrons who speak Spanish, Vietnamese or Ukrainian. I've heard Anglo fishermen cursing?indigenous peoples for winning a lawsuit 40 years ago that made it clear tribal people have the right to fish in Washington state. I used to live in Mount Vernon where one in three people are Hispanic and one in three speaks another language at home, but a few years ago a mayor (now former) prevented the library from continuing to the word biblioteca when the aging sign was replaced. If tough issues like racism and lack of diversity leave Libs-Or to move to another listserve or blog, then lack of diversity and racism stop being part of the mainstream conversation. Thank you for a discussion that knocked me out of the mad scramble of summer reading and made me think about better ways to serve my colleagues and more importantly my community. Sincerely, Marta ?

Conversations about racism/lack of diversity, poverty, sexism, and other tough issues are difficult. They are supposed to be. Hopefully, they inspire us to work past our discomfort in the words we might use to express ourselves and even past any feelings of helplessness we might have to figure out as individuals, as libraries or library systems to support and encourage ourselves and our colleagues to build greater diversity in our profession and by example support diversity in our communities. It's too easy to silo topics. As professionals and residents of the 21st Century, we are buried with information. As a result, we make choices about what we read and what groups and listservs we belong to. I joined this listserv when I enrolled in Emporia's Portland cohort, even though I live and work in Washington. I remain a member because of the fabulous discourse, information and support on various topics. If I had a question, I know my Oregon library colleagues would generously help. That's the way things roll on Libs-Or. We don't have a listserve like this in Washington. (I'm on a WLA committee that is working to change that.) Racism may not overtly thrive in our communities like it did just a couple of decades ago, but it still lurks under the surface. I've heard library patrons grumble about other patrons who speak Spanish, Vietnamese or Ukrainian. I've heard Anglo fishermen cursing indigenous peoples for winning a lawsuit 40 years ago that made it clear tribal people have the right to fish in Washington state. I used to live in Mount Vernon where one in three people are Hispanic and one in three speaks another language at home, but a few years ago a mayor (now former) prevented the library from continuing to the word biblioteca when the aging sign was replaced. If tough issues like racism and lack of diversity leave Libs-Or to move to another listserve or blog, then lack of diversity and racism stop being part of the mainstream conversation. Thank you for a discussion that knocked me out of the mad scramble of summer reading and made me think about better ways to serve my colleagues and more importantly my community.

Message-ID: Elizabeth Rivera was just asking if there were other places in Oregon to have these interesting and needed discussions. I'd suggest the OLA Conference for one. Perhaps folks could get some panels and presentations on topics that would take a look at our libraries form critical perspectives - I'm thinking here of critical theory, feminist theory, queer theory, critical race theory, or post-colonial theory. I might also suggest that the OLA's Social Responsibility Task Force might begin to organize? About a year ago Tracie Kreighbaum emailed me and said that the OLA SRTF was organizing and we were thinking of co-leading it. Unfortunately Tracie left the state for another postilion.and so we never got the task force up and running. I'd still be up for co-chairing this group - does anyone know who at OLA might know how to get this going? If so let me know.

Active listening and non-violent communication (NVC) are tools that go a long way towards being heard and hearing someone else. They are great tools for creating understanding and finding solutions to problems. >From what I've learned about observable vs. un-observable things, I believe "diversity" is something that is objective and can be measured, but that "racist", rather, is an example of an word that is often used to accuse someone of something, but it can also refer to a policy or reality. It is a charged word. "Silly", "not authentic" -- those are words that can actually be (or sound -- only the speaker knows for sure) dismissive of someone else's feelings or what is important to them -- according to what I have been learning. They are not likely to lead to agreement and problem solving. This issue (diversity; I experience racism and I hate it, I fervently want to change racism) can be discussed in a non-judgmental and objective way. Whether it has merit or not for this forum I have no idea since I am a newcomer. Perhaps there are guidelines for use posted somewhere. I'm impressed with efforts to keep the discussion responsible, non-judgmental and non-personal. Again, sometimes it can be thought that a topic is being shut down, and then what really what is going on is there is "violent communication" going on (I think that is kind of a weird term, but for lack of a better one) -- and that is what people want to shut down, not the topic. BUT the answer is not to shut down "violent communication" either -- instead it is to respond to it skillfully -- in a way that leads to understanding and problem-solving. This takes skill. Why don't we study these skills as much as we study our "professional" skills? NVC can be clunky to use -- it take practice to use it in real life, but it's precepts are worthwhile in any conversation -- particularly emotional ones. http://www.nonviolentcommunication.com/aboutnvc/4partprocess.htm Some active listening suggestions: http://www.studygs.net/listening.htm I hope this was useful to someone.

Let?s put that aside and continue with a worthy topic of discussion ? one that is not talked about enough, respectfully and openly, among our peers; isn?t this the best place for it? I want it to be shared with the larger group, those who prefer not to participate can simply delete, once they see the subject line. I delete many emails on this listserv that are not of interest to me and don?t see that as a burden; someone who has not been in on the conversation initially may see this subject and want to join the conversation and I want them to have that opportunity!

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <63826770-93B4-470A-9558-BAE6234CA7F5@pennyhummel.com> Hi, Robert?I just wanted to answer your question about the Social Responsibility Roundtable. As you note, Tracie Kreighbaum was the most recent chair but she left the state last fall. My understanding at that time was that Tracie could not find someone to replace her as chair, and that the involvement in the group was very small (I think only 1 - 2 other people). Thus, I think the roundtable has been dormant since Tracie?s departure. Here are the bylaws of the group from the OLA website: ww.olaweb.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=244 I think that it would be a great thing to revive/reinvigorate the SRRT roundtable to explore some of the issues that have been brought up in this libs-or thread. What we would need at this point is an OLA member who is willing to chair it and to fulfill the other responsibilities of roundtables (for example, submitting an annual report to the OLA board). And, of course, for people to join it! If anyone is interested in taking a leadership role as the chair of this roundtable, contact incoming OLA president Candice Watkins (who will be convening the 2014 retreat and is currently capturing names of incoming OLA unit chairs) or me.

About a year ago Tracie Kreighbaum emailed me and said that the OLA SRTF was organizing and we were thinking of co-leading it. Unfortunately Tracie left the state for another postilion.and so we never got the task force up and running. I'd still be up for co-chairing this group - does anyone know who at OLA might know how to get this going? If so let me know. For what it's worth nationally there is a Social Responsibility Round Table of ALA ( http://www.ala.org/srrt/home) plus a group called the Progressive Librarians Guild ( http://www.progressivelibrariansguild.org/)that regularly engage with these issues. The Library Juice Press* (and Litwan press) http://libraryjuicepress.com/ is publishing more and more books that tend to interrupt the grand, positivist narrative of librarianship.They may be of interest too. - Bob Schroeder * Full disclosure - I have a book coming out soon with them (called Critical Journeys: How 14 Librarians Came to Embrace Critical Practices). I interview 14 librarians who are engaged with social justice issues in libraries or who are using the critical theories I mention above to inform their practices. -- Sent from my iToaster Oven _________________________________________________________ Robert Schroeder Education Librarian, Associate Professor Portland State University 503 725 4519 schroedr at pdx.edu Room 280F Millar Library -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I?ve enjoyed reading the comments/questions and agree with some opinions written from each school of thought. And isn?t that the beauty of libraries? Librarians are historically flexible and generally adapt for what works in their respective communities; we tailor our collections, services and programs to meet the needs/desires of our users. What works for one library may not work at all for a neighbor even 30 miles down the road. The boost in circulation of our nonfiction in all age ranges has us sold that this system what works for North Liberty. In the first few months, we had a good number of ART and ARCHITECTURE books checked out that had never left the shelves under their Dewey numbers. Here in North Liberty, we found that the majority of our patrons were requesting books by subject ? ?can you tell me where your True Crime books are?? or ?where are your books on dogs?? ?Parenting?? ?Childbirth??, ?Gardening?? So it felt natural for us to migrate our collection to subject-based classification rather than assigning Dewey numbers. We have found that using subject-based call numbers, as opposed to Dewey, has been an intuitive and welcome switch for the majority of our patrons (not all, we have had three patrons state that they didn?t like it but many, many more who have complimented the change). Staff are seeing less requests now for ?where is this section? and people simply reading our signage (our end caps list the subjects) and finding the material on their own quite often. We unveiled by hanging up large posters that told the story of the switch with actual spine label examples enlarged to 80 point size font. We try to ask if people have found what they need and explain our system if patrons don?t understand but it has been a very smooth and easy transition for us. There are always patrons who come straight to the desk no matter what title they are looking for because it?s quick and easy. But even with Dewey and its subject-based cataloging, there is still some subjective decision-making happening for catalogers. You can go to our SILO online and compare several libraries in Iowa with the same title assigned a slightly or wholly different Dewey number and/or different subject headings within a record as well. While our collection is based on BISAC, it?s also localized to our community. We have a section assigned WEDDINGS because we have a large population of young people and a lot of interest in this area. In the juvenile, we have DINOSAURS because it?s so popular. It is definitely getting harder to assign genre labels to fiction as we see romance-fantasy crossovers, etc. We did survey our patrons a couple times and they resoundingly responded that they like the genre labels and separate categorization so we do our best to assign according to the descriptions and reviews. It works for us here. When we were first discussing this change during a presentation about it, a librarian said that sometimes she can?t find what she?s searching for in the bookstore and the response from the presenter was: ?Librarians are the only ones who can?t find things in Barnes & Noble.?

For those of you who are interested to participate in this chapter, please send me an email so I can add the names in the list for the first meeting (the date for the meeting will be established at the end of the summer).

Conversations about racism/lack of diversity, poverty, sexism, and other tough issues are difficult. They are supposed to be. Hopefully, they inspire us to work past our discomfort in the words we might use to express ourselves and even past any feelings of helplessness we might have to figure out as individuals, as libraries or library systems to support and encourage ourselves and our colleagues to build greater diversity in our profession and by example support diversity in our communities. It's too easy to silo topics. As professionals and residents of the 21st Century, we are buried with information. As a result, we make choices about what we read and what groups and listservs we belong to. I joined this listserv when I enrolled in Emporia's Portland cohort, even though I live and work in Washington. I remain a member because of the fabulous discourse, information and support on various topics. If I had a question, I know my Oregon library colleagues would generously help. That's the way things roll on Libs-Or. We don't have a listserve like this in Washington. (I'm on a WLA committee that is working to change that.) Racism may not overtly thrive in our communities like it did just a couple of decades ago, but it still lurks under the surface. I've heard library patrons grumble about other patrons who speak Spanish, Vietnamese or Ukrainian. I've heard Anglo fishermen cursing indigenous peoples for winning a lawsuit 40 years ago that made it clear tribal people have the right to fish in Washington state. I used to live in Mount Vernon where one in three people are Hispanic and one in three speaks another language at home, but a few years ago a mayor (now former) prevented the library from continuing to the word biblioteca when the aging sign was replaced. If tough issues like racism and lack of diversity leave Libs-Or to move to another listserve or blog, then lack of diversity and racism stop being part of the mainstream conversation. Thank you for a discussion that knocked me out of the mad scramble of summer reading and made me think about better ways to serve my colleagues and more importantly my community.

Rivera Sent: Wednesday, June 11, 2014 2:43 PM To: 'libs-or at listsmart.osl.state.or.us' Subject: Re: [Libs-Or] BISAC And from Dee Crowner, now retired (with picture!): Yes, Dewey does group by subject but what I like about subject based is the fact that all on one subject is in one place and not scattered in the 970's, 300's and probably other place throughout the collection which would be one reason for not putting BISAC or your own subjects on the end panels. The same basic subjects could be in several different places. Patrons like it because it is more visual and friendly than Dewey numbers for them. Also, people use bookstores a lot and are used this type of categorization. Redoing all the labels wasn't necessary. We could have done just the non-fiction but it was a staff decision to do all the material to have the entire collection labeled/looking the "same" for the ease of our patrons. Converting to subject based took us around two years, a lot of time and energy, mulling over and deciding where to put material but it was so worth it in the end. If large libraries like AnyThink and Maricopa can do it we all can if that is what you want. It does take a lot of preparation up front and probably convincing some staff and maybe even downright nagging to get them started but in the end it all worked out great both for both staff and patrons for us.

I've enjoyed reading the comments/questions and agree with some opinions written from each school of thought. And isn't that the beauty of libraries? Librarians are historically flexible and generally adapt for what works in their respective communities; we tailor our collections, services and programs to meet the needs/desires of our users. What works for one library may not work at all for a neighbor even 30 miles down the road. The boost in circulation of our nonfiction in all age ranges has us sold that this system what works for North Liberty. In the first few months, we had a good number of ART and ARCHITECTURE books checked out that had never left the shelves under their Dewey numbers. Here in North Liberty, we found that the majority of our patrons were requesting books by subject - "can you tell me where your True Crime books are?" or "where are your books on dogs?" "Parenting?" "Childbirth?", "Gardening?" So it felt natural for us to migrate our collection to subject-based classification rather than assigning Dewey numbers. We have found that using subject-based call numbers, as opposed to Dewey, has been an intuitive and welcome switch for the majority of our patrons (not all, we have had three patrons state that they didn't like it but many, many more who have complimented the change). Staff are seeing less requests now for "where is this section" and people simply reading our signage (our end caps list the subjects) and finding the material on their own quite often. We unveiled by hanging up large posters that told the story of the switch with actual spine label examples enlarged to 80 point size font. We try to ask if people have found what they need and explain our system if patrons don't understand but it has been a very smooth and easy transition for us. There are always patrons who come straight to the desk no matter what title they are looking for because it's quick and easy. But even with Dewey and its subject-based cataloging, there is still some subjective decision-making happening for catalogers. You can go to our SILO online and compare several libraries in Iowa with the same title assigned a slightly or wholly different Dewey number and/or different subject headings within a record as well. While our collection is based on BISAC, it's also localized to our community. We have a section assigned WEDDINGS because we have a large population of young people and a lot of interest in this area. In the juvenile, we have DINOSAURS because it's so popular. It is definitely getting harder to assign genre labels to fiction as we see romance-fantasy crossovers, etc. We did survey our patrons a couple times and they resoundingly responded that they like the genre labels and separate categorization so we do our best to assign according to the descriptions and reviews. It works for us here. When we were first discussing this change during a presentation about it, a librarian said that sometimes she can't find what she's searching for in the bookstore and the response from the presenter was: "Librarians are the only ones who can't find things in Barnes & Noble." :) Thanks for reading!

Traditional programs and services are no longer sufficient; libraries must be creative in building community relationships to help frame positive community growth. Learn how three diverse library systems met the challenge of engaging with their communities to create dynamic connections and develop meaningful partnerships that added value to the library AND the community. For more information and to register for this program, visit: http://cslinsession.cvlsites.org/ June 17 (12-1 pm) / Failing in the Right Direction (Infopeople) We hear a lot about the need for innovation and risk taking in the workplace but not so much about the flip side of that coin: failure. Failure happens. Some even say that there is no creativity without failure. In fact, many success stories - Thomas Edison, Vera Wang, Jay-Z, Dr. Seuss - are prefaced by accounts of repeated failures. Even so, the library environment has not been especially tolerant of imperfect outcomes. If we want to continue to change and grow, we'll need to rethink how we deal with failure. Though we can't totally avoid failing, we can learn to fail more constructively. For more information and to register for this program, visit: https://infopeople.org/training/view/webinar June 18 (8-9 am) / EDGE: Connecting Technology and Community (Nebraska Library Commission) After two years in development, the Edge Initiative launched earlier this year and library leaders are already sharing how Edge has helped them connect with their local government officials, build community partnerships and align their strategic goals with community priorities. Join us to learn how using Edge will help you make strategic decisions about technology services and connect more closely with your community. Edge, a professional management and leadership tool, gives libraries a look into their local data, from operations to partnerships and programming. It guides library leaders in assessing how their community is using technology and how to align future growth and services with community goals. It also provides useful resources to package and showcase the data to community leaders.

Grants are often dollar-for-dollar, but some companies will give double or even triple the original donation. Typically, individuals must submit forms to their employer to trigger the grant. Many companies offer matching gift programs, but the median percentage of employee participation is under 10 percent, according to Giving in Numbers, 2013 edition. Are you getting matching gifts for your individual donors' contributions? If not, your organization may be leaving money on the table. Learn what efforts you should focus on to maximize the matching gifts that your organization can get.

Someone is difficult. It can be a client, peer or (gulp) your boss. Or it could be that incommunicative guy in the mailroom, the gossipy fundraiser, the surly receptionist or the aggressive fill-in-the-blank that puts a crimp in your day. Might be that new Gen Y that asks too many questions, texts too much and talks too little. ENTITLEMENT! Could be the very direct Gen X who leaves the desk at 5 PM with work still to be done. UNCOMMITTED! How about that Baby Boomer who called the two hour meeting so she could introduce a new process and all you're concerned about is getting to the bottom line? TALK, NO ACTION! Dealing with difficult people does not need to be that difficult and can be the beginning of an admired and desired skillset in today's multigenerational, multicultural workplace. Learn how in this webinar presented by Sherri Petro of VPI Strategies.

But "learning" often looks like doing, and talking with others about what we're doing. This is frequently how we learn and how we help others learn. In this session we'll look at what to narrate as well as how and when. The bottom line? To improve workplace learning and knowledge management we need to stop saying, "Tell me what you do" and start asking, "Please show me how you did that?" For more information and to register for this program, visit: http://us.insynctraining.com/bozarth-programs/ June 18 (12-1 pm) / Rainbow Family Connections: Embracing LGBTQ Families at Your Library (Infopeople) This webinar will help library staff establish a basis for understanding the informational and cultural needs of children and adults in Rainbow Families while exploring the best resources for collection development and program planning.

For more information and to register for this program, visit: http://www.techsoup.org/community/events-webinars/default June 23 (10-11 am) / Evaluating Virtual Training: A Scorecard for Success (InSync Training) Virtual training needs to work. It should match the organization's strategy, vision, and goals. But, how do you know the experience will be right? How do you know if it will deliver a great learning experience? What does effective and engaging virtual training look like and how would you be able to tell the difference between a great experience and a bad one? Virtual training will be effective when it reaches the intended, dispersed learners; occurs at the right time(s); and requires minimal effort once a roster is provided (the logistics, technology, communications, and evaluations all occur in a timely manner). And most important, it needs to work! Knowledge is shared, skills improve, behavior changes. In this session, you will learn exactly what it takes to create and deliver an effective virtual training experience. This session covers the five critical success factors that need to be in place for effective and engaging live online training to occur. A scorecard is provided to help track what success looks like as you embark upon finding the right virtual training experience for your organization.

Used well, it can offered points for discussion, nudged thinking about what and why and comparison to that. It often made for good conversation and could reach the affective domain when other approaches did not. But when we moved to eLearning we left a lot of that behind: the video clips were uploaded, but the rest of that experience - the talking and processing - didn't make the transition. With so many new avenues for delivering video online it's a shame that we're not doing a better job of capturing the things a good instructor in a good face-to-face setting can bring. This session looks at ways of correcting that by extending the video experience to make it more social.

Do you know what your volunteer program should look like in 3 or 5 years? Join us as we talk about the fundamentals for creating a strategic plan for volunteer engagement for your organizations. This webinar will include components that should be included as well as ideas for working with organization leaders to include strategic goals for volunteer engagement in your organization's overall strategic plan.

To further impact turnover rates, Gen X and Gen Y workers on the average are leaving after only 5 and 2 years of services respectively.

I'm investigating the pros and cons of roving reference and am requesting information from those who use this model. If you rove, I wonder what you like and don't like about it? What are you hoping to achieve? And what works? And what doesn't? What could be done differently? Any good stories to share? And does your library have a written policy or standards or procedures that you could share? Or even a casual email announcing the service? I'm searching for both the official library stance and the personal opinions of librarians who rove. And if you prefer to remain strictly anonymous, that's fine too. This information will be compiled in a report to be used as a internal planning document for our library. Thank you very much!

Sager ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Don Wood Date: Tue, Jun 17, 2014 at 9:29 AM Subject: [alacro-l] ALA welcomes open internet bill To: "alacro-l at ala.org" WASHINGTON, D.C.?The American Library Association (ALA) is rallying librarians to support the Online Competition and Consumer Choice Act of 2014, a bill that would prohibit paid prioritization over the Internet. Introduced today, Rep. Doris Matsui (D - CA), the legislation would prohibit Internet service providers giving preferential treatment to the traffic of online content, applications, services, or devices. ALA President Barbara Stripling responded today to the introduction of the net neutrality bill: ?An open and innovative Internet is essential to our nation's freedom of speech, educational achievement and economic growth. Librarians in public, school, and academic libraries are dedicated to preserving the free flow of information over the public Internet, which is why the Online Competition and Consumer Choice Act of 2014 is vitally important to preserving this cherished freedom. The American Library Association enthusiastically endorses the bill. ?The Internet must continue to serve as a primary, open platform for information exchange, intellectual discourse, civic engagement, creativity, research, innovation, teaching and learning. The beauty of the open Internet is that every individual or entity, including libraries, can be both users and providers of information and Internet content. Unfortunately, paid prioritization allows only those who can pay more to maximize the Internet?s many benefits. We are deeply concerned that public broadband providers have financial incentives to interfere with the openness of the Internet by granting favorable transmission to their affiliated content providers or by discriminating against particular Internet applications based on the content of the information or the type of service being provided. ?The ALA remains steadfastly committed to the Open Internet. We will work collaboratively with libraries and educational institutions nationwide to advocate for strong public policies enforce network neutrality and prohibit paid prioritization. It is critical for all to have equitable access to the Internet to support our nation?s social, cultural, educational and economic well-being.? ### *About the American Library Association* The American Library Association is the oldest and largest library association in the world, with approximately 57,000 members in academic, public, school, government, and special libraries. The mission of the American Library Association is to provide leadership for the development, promotion and improvement of library and information services and the profession of librarianship in order to enhance learning and ensure access to information for all. -- Suzanne L.

Net neutrality is the principle that all data traveling on the Internet should be treated equally. If net neutrality is not maintained, then cable companies and others would be allowed to pay for preferential treatment, which could relegate libraries and other nonprofits to the ?slow lane? of Internet traffic. Intellectual freedom, which is the ?right of all peoples to seek and receive information from all points of view without restriction,? requires that net neutrality be maintained so that information flows freely to all users. On May 15th of this year, the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) presented a proposal that has been interpreted as replacing the principle of net neutrality with a two-tiered Internet system allowing paid prioritization. The FCC is accepting public comments on this proposal for 60 days, then will accept follow-up comments through Sept. 10th. See the Reuters article ?Amid protests, U.S. FCC proposes new 'net neutrality' rules ? for a summary of this complex proposal. Senator Ron Wyden, after being awarded the OLA 2014 Intellectual Freedom Champion award , discussed net neutrality during a Round Table discussion at Multnomah County Library . Senator Wyden spoke about the advantages of having the FCC reclassify Internet Service Providers as common carriers under Title II of the Communications Act of 1934. As a common carrier, ISPs would be prevented from making any ?unjust or unreasonable discrimination? in charges or services. Senator Wyden also discussed the need to increase public recognition of how important net neutrality is for libraries, which are the primary source of Internet access for many people and a key provider of educational resources. Here is more information about net neutrality and its importance to libraries: ? The American Library Association statement on net neutrality ?

[IMLS logo] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 18, 2014 IMLS Press Contact 202-653-4799 Giuliana Bullard, gbullard at imls.gov IMLS Releases 2011 Public Libraries in the United States Report Statistical analysis shows how investments affect library usage [cover of PLS report]Washington, DC?The Institute of Museum and Library Services released its Public Libraries in the United States Report, an in-depth examination of Fiscal Year (FY) 2011 survey data with important findings about the state of public library service in the U.S. The Public Libraries in the United States Survey (PLS) examines when, where, and how library services are changing to meet the needs of the public. These data, supplied annually by more than 97 percent of public libraries across the country, provide information that policymakers and practitioners can use to make informed decisions about the support and strategic management of libraries. The robust report, produced each year by IMLS, aggregates data across all 50 states and the District of Columbia to provide national trends and estimates; offers an in-depth analysis of 13 key indicators of library investments and library use, including per-capita estimates to compare performance across libraries; and offers an analysis for each state that contrasts state level data to corresponding regional and national statistics. For the first time, the agency used statistical modeling to examine the relationship between investments in public libraries and use of libraries and found that in most cases when investment increases, use increases, and when investment decreases, use decreases, and that these relationships persist over time. * Increases in investments in books and e-books, programs, public-access computers, and staffing were associated with increased levels of visitation. For example, each additional FTE (full-time equivalent) on staff corresponded with, on average, a 3371.8 increase in the number of visits. * Increases in collections and programs were related to increases in circulation. For example, for every 100 e-books available, an additional 345 items circulated, and for each additional program offered, there was an increase of 61.2 items circulated. * Increases in the number of public-access Internet computers were related to increases in computer use and program attendance. For every additional computer, there was an increase of 474 uses and an increase in program attendance of 52.4. * Increases in programs and staffing were related to higher levels of program attendance. Each additional staff person related to an increase of 95.2 in program attendance; every additional program corresponded to 10 additional program attendees. The findings also indicate the ways in which library service is fundamentally changing. Reductions in physical visits to the library are associated with investments in e-materials such as e-books, which may be an indication that services are moving online, allowing people to perform library transactions such as checking availability of materials, checking them out and returning them online. And, an overall reduction in computer use could correspond with investments in wireless, which libraries have made so that customers can use their own devices. These changes signal the need for new data elements for the survey to allow a closer examination of electronic delivery of library collections and services. Among the key findings: Public Library Use * There were 1.53 billion in-person visits to public libraries in FY 2011?equivalent to over 4.2 million visits each day. Although this is a 10-year increase of 23.0 percent, in-person visitation has fallen by 3.9 percent since FY 2008. Public libraries were visited an average of 5.1 times per person, a decrease in per capita visitation of 3.6 percent from FY 2010. * Public libraries circulated 2.44 billion materials in FY 2011, a 10-year increase of 29.0 percent. There were 8.1 materials circulated per person in FY 2011. One-third of circulated materials (34.5 percent) were children?s materials. * Attendance at public library programs has increased for the eighth year. In FY 2011, 89.0 million people attended the 3.81 million programs held at public libraries across the nation. This represented a 32.3 percent increase in attendance and 46.7 percent increase in the number of programs since FY 2004. * There were 341.5 million usage sessions on public access Internet computers at public libraries in FY 2011. Usage decreased by 7.2 percent since FY 2006. Public Library Resources and Services * The public invested over $11.4 billion to public libraries. Although this is a 10-year increase of 8.5 percent, revenue has decreased by 3.8 percent since the recession in FY 2008. Revenue per capita for public libraries was $38.09 in FY 2011, a decrease of 1.8 percent from FY 2010. * Public libraries spent $10.7 billion in operating expenditures in FY 2011, a 10-year increase of 9.2 percent. Operating expenditures per capita was $32.28 for public libraries in FY 2011. Two-thirds of library operating expenditures went to support the workforce through salaries and benefits. Expenditures on electronic materials and staff benefits increased from FY 2010. * Public libraries had an increase in the number of collection materials?3,164.1 materials per capita in FY 2011. * Although books continue to comprise the majority of the nation?s public library collection holdings, public library collections continue to shift from print books to non-print and digital materials. * There were 3.8 million programs offered at public libraries in FY 2011, an increase of 46.7 percent since FY 2004. Most programs (70.0 percent) were targeted to children. * In FY 2011, there were 261,413 public access Internet computers available at public libraries throughout the United States, a 1-year increase of 6.8 percent and 10-year increase of 86.2 percent. * Public libraries have seen a decrease in the number of FTE staff since the recession. In FY 2011, there were 137,103 FTE staff?11.4 FTEs per 25,000 people. This is a decrease of 5.5 percent since FY 2008. The number of public librarians has remained stable over 10 years, averaging 4.0 public librarians per 25,000 people. Librarians comprise one-third of the overall public library staff.

It was through Chris?s skillful reference interview that the actual reference need was revealed. The patron, a college student, needed the information in order to write a blog post assigned to a class. The initial question transitioned into a question about Maria Telkes and women?s rights in Hungary and the U.S. Then it became a question about finding general statistics on the number of professionals in the solar energy field in 1948. And then it became a question about what was Hungarian and U.S. culture like for women in the 1920's. Chris ultimately identified the reference question as a query about how many women were trained for the solar energy field, how large the field was, and how many professionals were employed in the solar energy field after World War II. Throughout the chat Chris considered various options including a search of research on women and science degrees, authorship on scientific research in the field at that time, membership in professional organizations related to the field, and teaching positions held. As Chris worked with the patron to clarify the question, he noted that it can be challenging to find information on women's contributions in areas where traditionally (or institutionally) they have been marginalized. >From the beginning to the end of the conversation Chris was friendly and welcoming and used authoritative resources.

Chris's closing note is the cherry on the icing on the cake. Dan Cawley Seaside Public Library On Thursday, June 19, 2014 11:58 AM, Emily PAPAGNI wrote: Hello, Answerland, Oregon's Statewide Virtual Reference service ( http://www.answerland.org/ ), recognizes Chris Jakel of Multnomah County Library for his excellent virtual reference work while staffing the service in January 2014. Chris?s transcript is online at www.answerland.org/awards Although the patron initially asked, ?How many women received degrees in physical chemistry in 1920 to 1930 in the United States compared to other countries,? the patron actually had a very different question. It was through Chris?s skillful reference interview that the actual reference need was revealed. The patron, a college student, needed the information in order to write a blog post assigned to a class. The initial question transitioned into a question about Maria Telkes and women?s rights in Hungary and the U.S. Then it became a question about finding general statistics on the number of professionals in the solar energy field in 1948. And then it became a question about what was Hungarian and U.S. culture like for women in the 1920's. Chris ultimately identified the reference question as a query about how many women were trained for the solar energy field, how large the field was, and how many professionals were employed in the solar energy field after World War II. Throughout the chat Chris considered various options including a search of research on women and science degrees, authorship on scientific research in the field at that time, membership in professional organizations related to the field, and teaching positions held. As Chris worked with the patron to clarify the question, he noted that it can be challenging to find information on women's contributions in areas where traditionally (or institutionally) they have been marginalized. >From the beginning to the end of the conversation Chris was friendly and welcoming and used authoritative resources. Chris referred the question to email follow-up so that other librarians could work further on the question. He concluded the conversation by saying, ?you have a fascinating, complex, puzzling and exciting task ahead of you! :-D.? We think that Chris?s work on this question is fascinating and notable. The Quality Team is impressed with Chris?s friendly tone, knowledge of authoritative resources, and work identifying the actual reference question. As an expression of our appreciation, Chris was presented with flowers and a certificate. Please join us in congratulating him! The Answerland Quality Team Stephanie Debner, Mt.

The Oregon Library Association needs some info from SOME of you! As OLA completes its evaluation of the 2014 conference, we know that one of the things we may be tweaking for future conferences is the number of hotel rooms that are reserved at the conference hotel at the special conference rate?because this year?s capacity was too low. For some attendees, this meant they booked a room at the conference hotel (the Grand Hotel) at the regular (non-conference, higher) rate; for others, it meant they booked a room elsewhere. What we are trying to estimate is how many additional rooms WOULD have been booked at the Grand Hotel at the conference rate had they been available. This information will allow OLA to make future arrangements with our host hotels that better reflect the needs of the library community. So?. If you attended the OLA conference in April but were not able to book a room at the Grand Hotel at the conference rate because they were all gone by the time you tried to make a reservation, I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU! Please respond to me directly (not to the whole list-serve please!) so I can add you to the "tally of the turned away." (If the room you were trying to book would have included a colleague, I just need to hear from one of you?we?re trying to estimate number of additional rooms needed, not number of people.) If you were able to get a room at the conference rate, ignore this message-- we already know exactly how many rooms were booked that way. If you didn?t book a hotel room at all, you can also just delete this message. Thank you for helping OLA improve our annual conference! See you next year in Eugene? : ) Penny Hummel 2013-14 President Oregon Library Association From erivera at cclsd.org Mon Jun 23 09:50:28 2014 From: erivera at cclsd.org (Elizabeth M.

Daniel Rasmus is the futurist whose session our colleague raved about when she returned from the Computers in Library conference. #9 - Pre-conference: Library Tours I could learn about space planning from three very different libraries in the morning: ?A modular library built quickly & green which uses the bookstore method to shelve materials. ?Or I could see how King County Library, one of the best in the country, builds in flexibility ?Check out an exquisitely restored and repurposed Carnegie library Then in the afternoon I could go to Rooms that Rock: practical tips for library space planning. #8 - More Pre-conference: Which do you think I should attend-how to design a literature festival for our community or crafting a successful adult education program? #7 - Which would benefit our community more? Should I attend the Gizmo Garage pre-conference at which I could simultaneously increase my skill level with gadgets and learn about the program or do I need to take the preconference about delivering youth services now that Thelma is retiring? #6 - Keynote Speaker Samantha Becker: You don't have to do it all! Samantha is going to cover that new benchmarking system for technology, The Edge Initiative. It will give us information to use with stakeholders. */_This is what you tell your family:_/* #10 - Would you like to go hiking Mt Rainier, the snowy volcano which dominates the eastern skyline? #9 - Or should we take a ferryboat ride on scenic Puget Sound? #8 - Which would you prefer? Getting up close and personal with polar bears at the Point Defiance Zoo or enjoying the zip line at Northwest Trek Animal Park? #7 - How about a gondola ride up Crystal Mountain with spectacular views of Mt. Rainier? #6 - Decide between LeMay: America's Car Museum which has a special Mustang review downtown or go ten miles away to the LeMay complete collection which covers acres? NOT CONVINCED YET?
