The Board viewed a presentation on board orientations, discussed the reorganization, the Carlton Watkins album loan to Portland Art Museum, and the Talking Book and Braille Services (TBABS) Endowment Fund. The Board created the following three subcommittees: Extending Services to the Unserved, TBABS Endowment and Donation Funds, and the Budget and Strategic Planning Committee. The next Board meeting is currently scheduled for Wednesday, April 16, 2014, at the Oregon State Library in Salem. Return to top of page State Library News 2012-2013 Ready to Read Annual Report Now Available [Worms]The 2012-2013 Ready to Read Annual Report and Best Practice Libraries report are now on the Ready to Read Grant webpage. The Ready to Read Annual Report is an analysis of the Ready to Read Final Reports submitted to the State Library every December. The State Library has established metrics that measure the effectiveness of the Ready to Read Grant Program. The metrics provide longitudinal data on public library youth services and public library usage statistics. 2012-2013 was the first time libraries implemented outcome based evaluation for the Ready to Read Grant funded projects. This data allows public libraries to see how their efforts impact library services to children in Oregon, and serves as a tool for setting local youth service goals. The Best Practice Libraries report lists those libraries that provide all three youth services best practices: outreach, summer reading, and early literacy training for caregivers. Photo with permission from Jackson County Library Services. The Oregon State Library is in the News The Oregon State Library and the Government Research Services (GRS) unit have both appeared recently in newsprint. The Oregon State Library building, artwork, and collections were described as a Salem travel destination in a recent edition of the Oregonian. The work of OSL GRS reference librarians was profiled in the January 21, 2014 edition of Salem Statesman Journal in a story entitled, "State reference librarians know so much, they're a human Google." The story is no longer available on the paper's website, but we'd be happy to send you a copy upon request. Library Services and Technology Act Grant Brief Proposals Due April 11, 2014 There is still time! The application packet for FY2015 LSTA competitive grant proposals is available through the main grants page of the Library Development Services website. Oregon's LSTA grant program has funded many types of projects - outreach, digitization, technology demonstrations and more. See some older grants through our link to past competitive grants. Short proposals are due April 11, 2014. If you are working on an idea for a grant, feel free to contact Ann Reed at (503) 378-5027 or email ann.reed at state.or.us. We can answer any questions you may have, consult on the draft of your grant, and be a good sounding board for your idea. Save the Date for the 2014 Focus on Children and Young Adults Institute The 2012 Focus on Children and Young Adults Institute will take place on September 21-24, 2014 at Menucha Retreat Center in Corbett. Participants will check in between 4:30 and 5:30 p.m. on Sunday and trainings will end by 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The cost of $75 per person covers the training, meals, and lodging. Session details will be available in June and registration will take place in July. The Focus Institute seeks to provide a foundation of professional knowledge about youth services necessary for the operation of small public libraries. It is designed for library staff who serve children and teens, and have no graduate level education in librarianship. Participants will attend several training sessions over the course of two and a half days. The sessions concentrate on the principles of public library services to children and teens, and how to put those principles into practice. Training sessions are presented by highly skilled, experienced youth services librarians in Oregon. Presenters are typically active members of the Oregon Library Association's Children's Services Division (CSD) and Oregon Young Adult Network (OYAN). The Focus Institute is able to keep costs low for participants because it is primarily funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services through the Library Services and Technology Act, administered by the State Library. 2012-2013 Outstanding Ready To Read Grant Projects Awarded [Reading]Each year, the State Library staff recognizes several public libraries for their outstanding Ready to Read Grant projects. The criteria for this recognition are: the library adheres to the original intent of the Ready to Read Grant, focuses on one or more of the three Ready to Read Grant best practices, promotes partnerships both in and out of the library, and creates a project that is replicable in other libraries, or enhances current library services. Libraries recognized for their Outstanding Ready to Read projects in 2012-2013 are: Jackson County Library Services, Nyssa Public Library, Silver Falls Library District, Ukiah Public Library, and Yachats Public Library. The Ready to Read Grant web page provides more information about these outstanding projects. Photo with permission from Jackson County Library Services. Digitized Documents on Sales Tax Now Available The idea of a sales tax in Oregon has come up repeatedly, from the 1930s to quite recently. The Government Research Services team has digitized Oregon government publications about the sales tax from the State Library's collection. The documents range from a circular about a 1933 House bill to a 2013 blog posting. Take a look at these publications in the State Library's repository. Reimagining Ready to Read Update As you know, the State Library is transforming! The Legislature recommended that the State Library make changes to the Ready to Read Grant to better align it with the Governor's 40-40-20 education goal. Therefore, the State Library convened a task force to develop a proposal for a new grant that will replace the Ready to Read Grant. The task force met in January to develop the new grant proposal. Their goals were to align the new grant with the Governor's 40-40-20 and the three public library youth services best practices, and develop outcomes for both the State Library and libraries receiving the grant. In February, the library community and key stakeholders were given the opportunity to review the new grant proposal, application, and report form and provide feedback to the task force via a survey. On Friday, March 7 the task force will review the survey results and update the new grant proposal based the feedback received from the library community and key stakeholders. The updated new grant proposal will be submitted to the Oregon State Library's Budget Committee in April, it will be included in the State Library budget submitted to the Governor's office in June or August, and then will go through the regular legislative process in the Spring of 2015. For more information, please call (503-378-2528) or email Katie Anderson.

We archive 640 government documents off the internet every month! There are 47,319 electronic Oregon government documents in our collection. There are 8 depository libraries in the state who not only get physical publications, but the electronic ones too! We have a blog about Oregon government documents that are in the news. It's called Read All About It, Oregon. Our Reports to the Legislature blog collects reports that are required by statute to be submitted to the Oregon State Legislature. We also add them to our electronic Repository. We have 26 Pinterest boards, including 3 about government documents: Oregon Document Depository Program, Oregon Government Publications, and Read All About It, Oregon. The Depository Program has been active since 1907, 107 years! And the Repository since 2006, 8 years! Return to top of page Other Library News Strong School Library Programs and District CIPs When HB2586 became law in January 2010, it amended Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) 327.297 and 329.095. As a result, districts must account for "strong school library programs" in the continuous improvement plans (CIP) that they submit to the Oregon Department of Education (ODE). As of December 2013, the State Board of Education approved updates to related OAR 581-022-0606, and the school library addition is now reflected in it. Look for sections (1)(l) and (7)(j). One reason for the delay in updating the OAR is that ODE staff was updating the eCIP, the tool through which school districts submit their continuous improvement plans. Among other changes, districts must now respond to indicators instead of questions. To support school district staff as they complete CIPs, ODE personnel created Resources and Research for Oregon's District Improvement Indicators. The document has one to two pages of information for each indicator in the CIP. Pages 95 through 98 list the two school library indicators and supporting research. Note this recommendation (not requirement): "The evidence is clear that district policy and hiring practice should favor placing a full-time, certified school librarian in each school library." Districts now submit their CIPs every three years instead of every two years. The submission schedule is posted on the ODE website, and the first third of CIPs is due June 30, 2014. Questions?

Nadia's transcript is online at: www.answerland.org/awards The question that Nadia answered is one that was submitted to the service via text message. The challenges of answering a reference question in a text message environment include the need to send brief answers, limiting use of web addresses (since patrons may not have smart phones), and making it clear to the patron that the person answering the question is human, and a friendly human at that. Nadia excelled on all counts. In this conversation, the patron asked for help finding a children's book about the Pendleton Round-Up. Nadia provided the title of a book that, while not a children's book, has many photographs of the Round-Up. She also offered to have a children's librarian research the question further and send additional resources via email. The patron shared her email address and received additional information later the same day (to which the patron replied, saying thank you and stating that she was impressed and amazed). The Quality Team is impressed with Nadia's skill in finding a suitable book for the patron, her thoughtfulness in offering follow-up help, and her friendly manner. And she did all of this in the concise space allowed for text messages. As an expression of our appreciation, Nadia was presented with flowers and a certificate. Please join us in congratulating her!

The proposed budget for the Library Services and Technology Act falls $2 million short from the $180.9 million enacted by the U.S. Congress for the 2014 fiscal year. The big hit came to the state program, with slight increases to the set aside for Native Americans and Hawaiians and the National Leadership grants. View a chart on the budget cuts On a conference call with stakeholders, Institute of Museum and Library Services Director Susan Hildreth discussed the Laura Bush 21st Century grants programs. Hildreth said her agency is working on a National Continuing Education Platform so library employees can continue their education around new services and technologies. On a disappointing note, the President did not include any resources for school libraries. Please be on the lookout for an action alert from the Washington Office regarding several "Dear Appropriator" letters that your legislators can sign in support of these programs. http://www.districtdispatch.org/2014/03/federal-library-funding-cut-proposed-budget/ -- *Diedre Conkling* *Lincoln County Library DistrictP.O.

Jones Director Office for Intellectual Freedom 312-280-4222 bjones at ala.org CHICAGO -- The Freedom to Read Foundation (FTRF) and American Library Association (ALA) on Friday joined a broad range of organizations and bookstores in filing an *amicus* brief with the U.S. Supreme Court (PDF)in a case potentially affecting the right to challenge laws that infringe on the First Amendment prior to their enforcement. The case, *Susan B. Anthony List v. Driehaus*, is on appeal to the High Court after the Sixth Circuit affirmed a lower court ruling that the Susan B. Anthony List (SBAL) lacked standing to submit a facial (or pre-enforcement) challenge to an Ohio law regulating speech in campaign advertising. The lower court found that SBAL couldn't demonstrate that prosecution under the law was "likely" or "imminent." In the brief, written by Michael Bamberger and Richard Zuckerman of Dentons US LLP, general counsel to Media Coalition , the *amici* argue that three decades of case law have clearly demonstrated the importance and effectiveness of allowing pre-enforcement challenges to statutes that violate the First Amendment. The brief cites 23 cases in which such statutes were found unconstitutional or were only found constitutional under narrow readings. *Amici* argue that the Sixth Circuit's definition of standing could have made it difficult for these challenges to be filed, thus creating a chilling effect on the First Amendment rights of booksellers, publishers, librarians and others who had demonstrated that they could be subject to prosecution if the statutes were allowed to go into effect. FTRF executive director and ALA Office for Intellectual Freedom director Barbara Jones said, "The importance of the brief submitted by FTRF, ALA, and the other organizations goes beyond the facts of any one case and speaks to the fundamental principle that Americans shouldn't have to wait for arrests or other penalties to occur in order to challenge laws that clearly violate our freedoms to speak, publish, and receive information. The library community is pleased to join this effort to preserve our right to challenge unconstitutional laws before they impair our freedom." Media Coalition has created a web page with more information about the case, a link to the brief (PDF), and an interactive map detailing the cases cited in the brief (including many in which FTRF and ALA participated). Other parties in the brief include the American Booksellers Association, American Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression, Association of American Publishers, Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, Dark Horse Comics, and several book stores and bookseller associations. http://www.ala.org/news/press-releases/2014/03/ftrf-ala-file-amicus-brief-us-supreme-court-case-ability-bring-first -- *Diedre Conkling* *Lincoln County Library DistrictP.O.

We have no idea when they were placed there since we have found them in different sections throughout the library. The cases are not damaged and appear to have been opened with a magnetic device (the security cases we use are the ones that are opened by a magnet unlocking the mechanism on the bottom of the case). We would like to know if any other libraries have found similar notes from this group or other anti-government groups and how you handled the situation.

This Statistics in Brief investigates the employment outcomes of 1992-93, 1999-2000, and 2007-08 college graduates 1 year after earning a bachelor's degree. The brief first examines the employment and enrollment status of all college graduates 1 year after graduation and then detailed information on key aspects of employment, including intensity (whether employed full time, part time, or in multiple jobs), occupation, and salary of those who were employed and not enrolled 1 year after graduation. The findings indicate that these employment outcomes vary for male and female graduates, and by age group, race/ethnicity, and undergraduate major field of study. Other key findings include: * In 2009, about 8 percent of female graduates who earned their degrees in 2007-08 were unemployed, compared with 10 percent of male graduates. * In constant dollars, median annual salaries 1 year after graduation were lower in 2009 than in 2001 for graduates in computer and information science, engineering, social science, humanities, business, and other applied fields. The analysis uses nationally representative data on college graduates collected in three administrations of the Baccalaureate and Beyond Longitudinal Study.

We have found four empty cases so far, the items are mixed in with the books on the shelf and have been found by our pages as they were shelving. We have no idea when they were placed there since we have found them in different sections throughout the library. The cases are not damaged and appear to have been opened with a magnetic device (the security cases we use are the ones that are opened by a magnet unlocking the mechanism on the bottom of the case). We would like to know if any other libraries have found similar notes from this group or other anti-government groups and how you handled the situation.

There are a number of activities and training opportunities being promoted through this initiative, but I wanted to highlight a couple that I think would be of particular interest to libraries in Oregon. Order a free Civics and Citizenship Toolkit for your library USCIS offers a free toolkit that contains immigration and civics publications, handbooks, multimedia tools, and a quick start guide with ideas for use. This is a great "getting started" resource and may be used to: * Provide basic information to the immigrant community * Develop content for classes * Train staff and volunteers Order your free toolkit at: http://www.uscis.gov/citizenship/organizations/civics-and-citizenship-toolkit Establish a Citizenship Corner USCIS can partner with libraries to help provide materials for establishing a "Citizenship Corner" to highlight citizenship resources. Below are pictures of a couple of examples of what these displays may look like in the library. The partnerships can take the form of just providing space for promotional materials, or be more formal, such as the partnership between USCIS and the Los Angeles Public Library System. If you are interested in exploring the options, please contact our region's USCIS Community Relations Officer, Christine Pool. > or 206-965-4417 [MIDVAL citizenship.jpg][MA CC.jpg] Host a naturalization information session or an administrative naturalization ceremony in your library Got a meeting room? Hosting a naturalization event is a great way to introduce new citizens to library resources! Again, Christine Pool can work with you to schedule a session for your library. Other ideas and resources for libraries are available on a web page USCIS designed specifically for libraries: http://www.uscis.gov/citizenship/organizations/libraries. I encourage you explore this site and consider what your library might do to promote citizenship resources in your community.

E-rate and it's worth the wait Message-ID: http://www.districtdispatch.org/2014/03/next-e-rate-worth-wait/ Up Next? E-rate and it's worth the wait Posted on March 7, 2014 by Marijke Visser We're not sure how you best characterize waiting with your finger poised over the refresh key anticipating the release of an FCC Public Notice. But, nonetheless, we at ALA were not the only ones who impatiently awaited the latest installment of the E-rate modernization proceeding that began last June (if not before with the 2010 National Broadband Plan) with the President's ConnectED initiative announcement . Since the summer release of the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking(NPRM), the Commission has logged over 1500 comments and ex parte filings. Some of the issues raised in the NPRM warrant further public input to help the Commission determine the best path forward. To that end the Commission is seeking detailed input on three specific issues: - "How best to focus E-rate funds on high-capacity broadband, especially high-speed Wi-Fi and internal connections; - Whether and how the Commission should begin to phase down or phase out support for traditional voice services in order to focus more funding on broadband; and - Whether there are demonstration projects or experiments that the Commission should authorize as part of the E-rate program that would help the Commission test new, innovative ways to maximize cost-effective purchasing in the E-rate program." (Paragraph 4 ) Within these issues, there are a number of critical questions asked that are important to libraries and decisions made through the public record will certainly influence library broadband capacity and the ability of libraries to deliver key community services. The opportunity to shape the future direction of the E-rate program is immense and therefore somewhat daunting as we begin to fine-tune our own proposals. In our initial comments and throughout the process we have sought input and feedback from a wide range of librarians and expect to do so again through the guidance of the ALA E-rate Task force, other ALA member leaders, and expert consultants. Once a Notice is released, the most common thing to do is count the pages (phew, "only" 20 pages of questions) and search for your key interest - in our case "librar." It is noteworthy to mention that a number of comments by libraries are cited as well as those from ALA. Moreover, some of our ideas are discussed explicitly (paragraph 59). This is reflective of the Commission's dedication to capturing the important role libraries play in their communities that broadband enables; the great need libraries have in boosting broadband capacity; and potential differences in needs of libraries from our school counterparts. We are gratified to see that the Commission remains open and even aggressive in soliciting new ideas about how to make sure the program is efficient and effective - that funds are targeted to the most critical services that build library and school broadband capacity. As stated in the Notice, the targeted issues are not the sole issues that could be included in a final order. They are simply the ones for which the record to date was either unclear or commenters were equally split, or where the Commission needs more detail to fully understand how to address some of the stickiest challenges raised in the NPRM. Many of the questions posed ask commenters to make difficult choices - such as what is the most equitable means to ensure applicants receive funding for internal wiring and Wi-Fi networks and determining how to handle voice services in a program gearing toward a broadband capacity focus. Though not mentioned in the Notice, we do understand that increasing the overall size of the fund is still somewhere on the table - while we feast on this Public Notice, we expect the overall funding question to be the next course. So what's the next step? Comments are due April 7th with reply comments due April 21st. For the next few days we will be nose down reading and parsing the Notice which will be a break of sorts from the multiple meetings we have had with FCC commissioners and staff, as ALA, and as part of inside-the-beltway coalitions - in person and by phone. These meetings were a combination of advocacy for the role libraries play in education, employment and entrepreneurship, and empowering people though providing access to e-government, health information, digital literacy training, and similar services and providing the Commission with library data of the current state of broadband capacity, network configuration, and projecting future trends in library services that call for a scalable approach to building capacity for libraries. We are appreciative of the careful review the Commission has given to the public record. In reality, the process, though sometimes murky and arguably long, is successful. Concepts are being analyzed, issues debated, and solutions weighed. There will be some changes in the future which will have to be worked through when implemented and we expect some discomfort. However, we support the direction of the Commission as we think about library needs five, ten, and twenty years from now. We view the Notice as another important step in the future of the E-rate program and thus the future of broadband capacity for all libraries. *Alan Inouye, OITP director, did the hard part of this post by getting the first thoughts down and contributed with thoughtful suggestions.* http://www.districtdispatch.org/2014/03/next-e-rate-worth-wait/ -- *Diedre Conkling* *Lincoln County Library DistrictP.O.

Oregon adopts the Next Generation Science Standards as the new Oregon Science Standards! In April 2013, the final Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), a new set of voluntary, rigorous, and internationally benchmarked standards for K-12 science education, were released. Oregon was one of 26 lead states that worked with Achieve and the standards writers to develop the NGSS. On Thursday, March 6, 2014, the Oregon State Board of Education (SBE) voted unanimously to adopt the NGSS as the new Oregon Science Standards. The adoption includes the grade level middle school science standards sequence unanimously recommended by the Oregon Science Content and Assessment Panel that was developed under the leadership of the California Science Experts Panel. The Oregon SBE Chair and Members are incredible supporters of science education (and the NGSS). It was a joy to see the unanimous support for these standards and for providing a high quality science education for all Oregon students. You can access the Oregon NGSS review report and materials provided to the SBE as well as the archived video of the meeting on the SBE website. Oregon was privileged to work with an incredible group of dedicated, talented, and passionate educators and community members serving on the Oregon Science Content and Assessment Panel, who did the hard work and provided the alignment crosswalks, proposed timelines, and critical recommendations to the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) and SBE. You can view the list of panel members and the materials for each of their meetings on the webpage created for the Oregon NGSS review process. The alignment crosswalks and transition/implementation timelines provided to the SBE are going through a final editing review and will be posted on the ODE science webpage soon. It is important to remember that the new Oregon Science Standards (NGSS) will be phased in so that districts can implement changes in local curriculum, provide appropriate professional development for teachers and administrators, and provide students with opportunities to learn the content, practices, and cross-cutting concepts prior to assessment. Oregon students will continue to be assessed on the Oregon 2009 Science Content Standards via OAKS Science until a new science assessment that aligns with the newly adopted standards is developed and becomes operational in 2018-2019.

In this case we asked experts to make their own predictions about the state of digital life by the year 2025. We will also explore some of the economic change driven by the spectacular progress that made digital tools faster and cheaper. And we will report on whether Americans feel the explosion of digital information coursing through their lives has helped them be better informed and make better decisions.

State of California* and *United States v. Brima Wurie*, two Supreme Court cases examining the constitutionality of cell phone searches after police arrests. In the amicus brief, both nonprofit organizations argue that warrantless cell phone searches violate privacy principles protected by the Fourth Amendment. Both cases began when police officers searched the cell phones of defendants Riley and Wurie without obtaining a warrant. The searches recovered texts, videos, photos, and telephone numbers that were later used as evidence. The Supreme Court of California found the cell phone search lawful in Riley's case, but the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, in Boston, reached the opposite conclusion and reversed Wurie's conviction. In the brief, the Internet Archive and the American Library Association argued that reading choices are at the heart of the expectation of personal privacy guaranteed by the Fourth Amendment. Allowing police officers to rummage through the smartphones of arrestees is akin to giving government officials permission to search a person's entire library and reading history. Today, ALA and Internet Archive leaders weighed in on the court case. Barbara Stripling, president of the American Library Association: Today's cell phones are much more than simple dialing systems--they are mobile libraries, holding our books, photos, banking information, favorite websites and private conversations. The Constitution does not give law enforcement free rein to search unlawfully through our private records. Brewster Kahle, founder and digital librarian of Internet Archive: The fact that technology has made it easy to carry voluminous sensitive and personal information in our pockets does not suddenly grant law enforcement unchecked availability to it in the case of an arrest. Constitutional checks are placed on the search of, for instance, a personal physical library and these checks should also apply to the comparably vast and personally sensitive stores of data held on our phones. William Jay, Goodwin Procter partner and counsel of record on the amicus brief, added: The Supreme Court has recognized that people don't lose all privacy under the Fourth Amendment when they're arrested. And one of the strongest privacy interests is the right not to have the government peer at what you're reading, without a good reason and a warrant. We are pleased to have the chance to represent both traditional and Internet libraries, which have a unique ability to show the Supreme Court why our electronic bookshelves deserve the same protection as our home bookshelves. "In my experience as a former federal prosecutor, a person's smartphone is one of the things law enforcement are most eager to search after an arrest," said Goodwin Procter partner Grant Fondo, a co-author of the brief. "This is because it holds so many different types of important personal information, telling law enforcement what the arrested person has been doing over the past few weeks, months, and even years--who they have been in contact with, what they read, and where they have been. Simply because this information is now all contained in a small smartphone we carry with us, rather than at home, should not take the search of this information outside the scope of one of our most important Constitutional protections--the right to protection from warrantless searches." http://www.districtdispatch.org/2014/03/supreme-court-stop-warrantless-cell-phone-searches/ -- *Diedre Conkling* * Lincoln County Library DistrictP.O.

A combination of factors is making a few of us start to rethink whether it's worth the staff time to provide this service. 1. The extreme lateness of the forms the past few years, making patrons somewhat annoyed. 2. The quickly-dwindling number of patrons who actually use the paper forms. 3. The fact that our tax forms got delivered to an unknown alternate address that UPS can't seem to tell us where. 4. The amount of staff time trying to deal with problems 1-3. If your library elected not to have forms/booklets, how did your community react? Were there other places where people could get the forms? I'd love to hear your experiences. Cheers!

We do not get any Oregon tax forms or booklets, but provide a toll free number and the website address for patrons to order their own items. We are similar in size to the HR library population. There are many patrons here who do not have computers at home on which to file their tax returns. We get people coming in the first week of January to get tax forms, and they are rather upset when we don't have the forms on demand. In previous years, the tax season was something looked upon by staff with "dread", because patrons would ask us all kinds of questions.

Like other libraries we were cut off by the OR Dept. of Revenue several years ago. We ordered fewer IRS forms than in the past, because we always ended up sending a lot to the recyclers. We received the IRS stuff quite late, and have run out of some items. Kinda late to reorder now. However, many people want nothing to do with online forms or filing, so there is a definite need for local access to paper forms, and no one else provides that access locally. I think we owe it to our community to provide what we can. ________________________________________ From: Libs-Or [libs-or-bounces at listsmart.osl.state.or.us] On Behalf Of Buzzy Nielsen [buzzy at hoodriverlibrary.org] Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2014 4:26 PM To: Libs-or Subject: [Libs-Or] Tax forms Hi everyone, Have any of you elected to no longer stock tax forms/booklets at your library?

I sheepdog the tax forms at the Oregon City Public Library, along with being the adult reference librarian. If we don?t have a form then we will print it out for the patron, for free, and I?m always amazed at how happy this makes people. We provide Oregon forms and flyers for patrons on how to access the Oregon instructions, order a set of Oregon instruction booklets that people can use in the library, and will even occasionally email the state for materials on behalf of non-Internet users, such as the elderly. On our tax table I provide some aids to answering that ?what form? question. Our patron base is very ?do-it-yourself? oriented and also has a large population of people who cannot afford computers, Internet access and printers at home. Yes, it?s sometimes very aggravating, with late tax forms and patrons who blame us for not having the forms that haven?t even been produced but usually people leave happy.

We're only getting federal forms and we end up helping people download the state forms, so in many ways having the forms in house is easier as they can help themselves. And on the other hand, we do get tax money back from those filings, via LSTA, Ready to Read, etc. We have gotten in the habit on our phone message (we have a short phone message before people hit 1 to talk to someone etc.) of adding in January, "Tax forms have not arrived yet, when they have, this message will be changed" or something to that effect.

The workshop will actively engage campaign stakeholders in both "Information-Only" and "Vote Yes" contexts on the practical aspects of planning and running a successful campaign. Workshop participants will be guided and personally coached through the steps to successfully build the infrastructure necessary to run either an Information-Only or Vote Yes voter awareness and activation campaign. By the end of the workshop, participants will produce several fully drafted pieces, including: a communications plan for web, social, traditional media, and community engagement; a plan of action to engage allies and endorsements; a fundraising plan; campaign messaging and theme; a campaign specific online collateral and editorial; and opposition research. The workshop will be held online in an asynchronous setting that includes readings, videos, slide presentations, and homework. Participants should expect a high level of engagement from workshop instructors and an in-person one-on-one teleconference at the midpoint of the session.

For those not in the know, back in 2006, the Copyright Office published a report(pdf) on works that are thought to be "orphans." These are works still protected by copyright whose rights holder or author is not known or cannot be found. Users of these works--libraries, educators, private companies, other creators, the general public--want to get permission to use these works in ways that go beyond fair use or other user exceptions. Libraries want to digitize unique collections and make them available to the public, but rights holders cannot be found. Documentary filmmakers want to use music in their films, but the record companies that held the copyright have gone out of business and no one knows who might hold the copyright. A teenager investigating her family tree wants to post some family photos on Facebook, but no one knows who took the original photograph. People choose to forego the use of the work for fear of infringement thinking that the rights holder might show up some day and sue. Thus library collections are not preserved in digital formats, unique historical collections remain hidden in boxes in the back rooms of archives, and creators who could use the works to create new works or new businesses stop in their tracks. The Copyright Office believed that this was "not in the public interest, particularly where the copyright owner is not locatable because he no longer exists or otherwise does not care to restrain the use of his work." Unfortunately since 2006, rights holders, creators and users of content have been unable to negotiate a copyright legislation that would allow the use of these orphan works in certain situations. Legislationwas crafted and considered over two Congresses but the stakeholders could not come to anything even looking like consensus. After no progress had been made, Congress got tired of talking about it and there were ongoing court cases dealing with orphan works. Time marched on. The Google Book Settlement was thrown outof court leading to a new court case where Google argued that its scanning of books--many of them orphans--to improve their search engine was a transformative fair use. The court agreed. HathiTrust won its fair use caseagainst the Authors Guild for its scanning and preserving works. Again, many of these works were orphan works. Both of these cases are being appealed, but did these lower court rulings and other court decisions indicate that existing fair use law (Section 107) already address the orphan works problem? Was separate orphan works legislation therefore unnecessary? No, said the Copyright Office, and the majority of rights holders and creators. This week , the usual suspects (including the American Library Association) have come back the drawing board, to air opinions and concerns. Would orphan works roundtable redux be just another badly made Hollywood sequel? Not quite. During Tuesday's U.S. Copyright Office roundtable on orphan works, a representative from an author's association threatened to sue libraries for digitizing collections (not posting the works online but just for digitizing the collection, perhaps for preservation purposes). Wait a minute. Let me check my notes to make sure I've got this right...the representative said, "Just wait for the next lawsuit. We are on you." For those not familiar with these roundtable sessions, people do express their strong opinions (many opinions that are totally understandable), but in my experience, announcing one's plan to sue another person or group, *out loud*, in front of everyone in the room, this was a first. Attendees, who had just started to nod off, took notice. The response was uncomfortable laughter, perhaps this was something just said in the heat of the moment, or was meant to be funny. (See me giving the benefit of the doubt.) But later, the author's representative said it again. "I warn you, if you do it (digitization), I'm going to take you to court." Well, so much for seeking common ground. It looks like--yet again--that parties cannot come to agreement on orphan works. I have to say I felt particularly offended. If anything, we librarians are law-abiding to a fault. I can say this with some certainty because I have worked with librarians --public, school, academic --on this orphan works problem since 2005, maybe earlier. So I felt compelled to go to the microphone, and suggest that threatening libraries with lawsuits was not a good idea if we want to work together on this issue, the representative said--and I am not kidding--"It's worked before." Lesson: these long and exhausting meetings can occasionally be kind of interesting. Sadly, they do not engender goodwill as we seem to drift farther and farther apart from reaching agreement, or at least a little truce. I must add that later in the day, the authors' group representative apologized to me, and I believe she was sincere. I accepted her apology. Later the Copyright Office conveners had to announce a "safe zone" for the rest of the day. Like rowdy school children, we were asked to behave. Moving forward, the U.S. Copyright Office is now accepting public commentson orphan works legislation. The window for public comments closes April 14, 2014. http://www.districtdispatch.org/2014/03/safe-zone-established-orphan-works-roundtable/ -- *Diedre Conkling* *Lincoln County Library District P.O.

Larry Bucshon (R-IN) and referred to the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, and to the Committee on Small Business. The ALA stands with SPARC in opposing Section 303 of this bill; a provision that would create unnecessary obstacles to the public's ability to access research funded by tax-payers. Now is not the time to create unwarranted challenges to the access of tax-payer funded research. After years of effort, the open access community celebrated the White House Directive on Public Access to the Results of Federally Funded Researchand the addition to the FY14 Omnibus Appropriations Act to expand the National Institutes of Health's access program to include the Departments of Labor, Education and Health and Human Services. These programs would more rapidly make the results of this research available to the public; while Section 303 would create challenges to federal agencies as they endeavor to participate. Among other things, Section 303 would: - Establish a minimum allowed embargo period of 24 months, and allow its further extension to 36 months. No provisions to reduce embargo periods are included in this legislation. - Sanction simply linking to full text of articles on publishers websites, without ensuring that federal agencies retain a copy of the text of the articles reporting on their funded research. - Require federal agencies to repeat the work that they have already done in drafting plans for policies as required by the White House Directive on public access, and introduce an additional 18 month minimum delay while this work is duplicated. Please take a moment to contact your Representativeto express your dismay of a bill that would delay the public's right to information. http://www.districtdispatch.org/2014/03/road-blocks-federally-funded-research/ -- *Diedre Conkling* *Lincoln County Library DistrictP.O.

A new report as part of the Pew Research Center?s Internet & American Life Project focus on libraries has been released, ?From Distant Admirers to Library Lovers?and beyond? ? you can read the introduction below, view the summary, or the complete report. Report Summary: http://www.pewinternet.org/2014/03/13/summary-of-findings-4/ Complete Report (PDF): http://www.pewinternet.org/files/2014/03/PIP-Library-Typology-Report.pdf Other reports related to libraries: http://www.pewinternet.org/topics/libraries/ and http://libraries.pewinternet.org/ Report Introduction: The Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project today released a new report examining the spectrum of Americans? relationships with public libraries. This elaborate typology of groups based on their library engagement?the first of its kind?sheds light on broader issues around the relationship between technology, libraries, and information resources in the U.S. Respondents were sorted into groups based on the results of a special statistical analysis of their engagement with public libraries, such as their library use and their views about libraries? roles in their communities. Among the major findings: ? Public library users and proponents are not a niche group: 30% of Americans are highly engaged with public libraries, and an additional 39% fall into medium engagement categories. ? Americans? library habits do not exist in a vacuum: People?s connection?or lack of connection?with public libraries is part of their broader information and social landscape. As a rule, people who have extensive economic, social, technological, and cultural resources are also more likely to use and value libraries as part of those networks. Many of those who are less engaged with public libraries tend to have lower levels of technology use, fewer ties to their neighbors, lower feelings of personal efficacy, and less engagement with other cultural activities. Life stage and special circumstances are linked to increased library use and higher engagement with information: Deeper connections with public libraries are often associated with key life moments such as having a child, seeking a job, being a student, and going through a situation in which research and data can help inform a decision. Similarly, quieter times of life, such as retirement, or less momentous periods, such as when people?s jobs are stable, might prompt less frequent information searches and library visits.

Now it's time for library supporters to ask their U.S Senators to support these two letters. -One letter supports funding for the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) in FY15. LSTA is the primary source of funding for libraries in the federal budget. -The other letter supports funding for the Innovative Approaches to Literacy Grant in FY15. This grant is crucial because at least half of it would go to low-income school libraries to help update their books and materials. For more information and talking points visit the Legislative Action Center (LAC). You can also find a list of last year's signatories for both letters on the LAC. Check back on the LAC within the next week for an updated list on who has signed the letters for FY15. Thanks for supporting libraries!

Watch the Madison Award ceremony Calling on the government to enhance public trust, the President's Review Group produced a thoughtful report with a blueprint showing how the government can reaffirm its commitment to privacy and civil liberties--all without compromising national security. In the report, the Review Group emphasized the need for transparency and effective oversight, and made recommendations intended to protect U.S. national security and advance foreign policy. Additionally, the Review Group asked the U.S. government to demonstrate the validity of claims that secrecy is necessary.

[cid:image004.png at 01CF3FA1.904C2E70] MESSAGE FROM THE STATE LIBRARIAN March 14, 2014 The 2014 Legislative Session has been completed and there are a couple of items that will impact the State Library and our transformation process that I want to share with you. You may remember that in the last session, the Legislature held back 2% of every agency's general fund dollars. I'm happy to report that the 2014 Legislature restored 57% of that holdback. The $18,616 that was restored to our budget will be used for 2014-15 Ready-to-Read grants. As a reminder of the timeline of reorganization activities to date: During the 2011 Legislative session the Workgroup on Libraries and Archives in Oregon State Government was established in response to Budget Note #1 of Senate Bill 5521, which requested that the Oregon Governor's Office, Secretary of State, and Chief Justice jointly develop options pertaining to the consolidation and improvement of library and archives services. That work resulted in http://library.state.or.us/repository/2012/201201310755152/ a report to the Joint Committee on Ways and Means in the 2012 Session that outlined a number of recommendations to be implemented over several years. In January of 2013 a reorganization committee was formed that included OSL staff and stakeholders, with assistance from the office of the Chief Operating Officer. At the conclusion of the 2013 Legislative session the State Library had the following note attached to their budget bill (HB 5022): The State Library and the Department of Administrative Services are directed to submit to the Legislature in February of 2014 a detailed strategic business plan for the reorganization of the State Library. The two agencies are directed to report to the Joint Committee on Ways and Means throughout the interim on the reorganization planning efforts. Additionally, the State Library is directed to hold vacant any current or future vacated or unfilled positions until the Legislature in 2014 approves a reorganization plan for the agency. At that point, the State Library, working with the office of the COO, engaged the consulting firm Mass Ingenuity to oversee the transformation project. This project is fully documented on this website http://www.oregon.gov/osl/Pages/OregonStateLibraryTransformation.aspx . The result of this work was the Oregon State Library Transformation Project Report to the Interim Joint Committee on Ways and Means which was submitted to the Interim Subcommittee on General Government of the Joint Ways and Means Committee. The Interim Subcommittee on General Government responded with a http://www.oregon.gov/osl/Transformation/Final%20Library%20Reorganization%20Report-2013.11.06.pdf report, created by Senator Steiner-Hayward and Representative Nathanson that outlined changes to be implemented by the State Library, State of Oregon Law Library, State Archives, and Oregon Historical Society. The office of the COO provided two project managers to work with the four principal organizations on implementation planning. In the February 2014 Session: The Co-Chairs of the Joint Committee on Ways and Means will be establishing a Legislative workgroup "to modernize the delivery of state library services by improving access to public information, eliminating duplicative services and costs, increasing utilization of digital resources, and increasing collaborative partnerships across entities. The workgroup shall recommend draft legislation for introduction in the 2015 legislative session for the reorganization of state library services, which should, where possible; incorporate national best practices pertaining to library reorganizations." The membership of that work group will be decided by the Co-Chairs and will include "Legislative members, and other members chosen to represent the interests of state library service users and employees." I will share information about the membership of the work group as soon as it is announced. There will be an opportunity for public input and I will keep you apprised of that as well. Since the Legislative session has ended, I am taking this opportunity to take a vacation to Denmark. I will be out of the office from March 17th through March 27th and will provide an update when I return.

Each chapter contains practical resources such as checklists, forms, and sample materials, and other usable features to support readers as they implement the inclusive reference model. Topics covered include: * Recognizing that nearly all staff answer reference questions, but few are trained to do so * documenting the necessity for a change in reference model * gaining buy-in from all interested parties-librarians, non-MLS staff, and administrators * determining the optimal staffing level * creating training materials and schedules * monitoring the quality of reference service * supervising staff * evaluating the new model using multiple methods Table of Contents See publisher's website for a detailed table of contents.

Hannah Rempel, Instruction and Science Librarian, and Margaret Mellinger, Instruction and Emerging Technologies Librarian, both at OSU Libraries, will present "Bibliographic Management Tools Adoption and Use." Summary: Some of the most popular workshops offered in the Graduate Student & Faculty Workshop Series at OSU Libraries are sessions on bibliographic management software (EndNote, Zotero and Mendeley). While those of us who teach these workshops are familiar with the software itself and often help users troubleshoot issues, we don't normally get to see how users incorporate the tool into their regular research routines or how using the software affects their research processes. We also miss out on an even more basic question - how do users choose a particular tool and what makes them stick with it? To find out more about how users incorporate these research productivity tools into their workflows, we used interviews, journal prompts, and user-recorded screen capture videos. We will discuss the results of this study, a research methodology that can be used to gain a window into researchers' workflows, and a model for understanding how users adopt productivity technologies. Date: Friday, April 11, 2014 Time: 10:00-11:30 a.m. Place: Valley Library 3622, Willamette Seminar Rooms, Oregon State University, Corvallis campus.

There are currently two letters circulating in the House of Representatives and the Senate. One letter (a letter in the House and a in the Senate) is asking for support of the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) in the FY 2015 Appropriations bill. The other letter (a letter in the House and a in the Senate) is asking for support for the Innovative Approaches to Literacy (IAL) program also in the FY 2015 Appropriations bill. To find out if your legislators have signed one of the letters this year, view this chart. If not please contact him/her and encourage them to do so. If your Senator or Representative has signed one of these letters, please thank him/her for their support of libraries. Read below for some background information on LSTA and IAL. *LSTA:* LSTA is the primary source of annual funding for libraries in the federal budget. The bulk of this program is a population-based grant funded to each state through the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). Each state determines how they will allocate their LSTA funds, often relying upon this money to provide job searching databases, resume workshops, summer reading projects, and so much more. In addition, LSTA also supports: - *Native American and Native Hawaiian Library Services* to support improved access to library services for Native Americans, Alaska Native Villages, and Native Hawaiians; - *National Leadership Grants* to support activities of national significance that enhances the quality of library services nationwide and provide coordination between libraries and museums; and, - *Laura Bush 21st Century Librarians* which is used to help develop and promote the next generation of librarians. *IAL:* >From 2002 to 2010, the *Improving Literacy through School Libraries*program had been the primary source of federal funding for school libraries. However, in recent years the President and U.S. Congress have consolidated or zero-funded this program. ALA gives a special thanks to Sens. Jack Reed (D-RI) and Thad Cochran (R-MS) who recognized that school libraries need a direct funding source in the federal budget. In FY 2012, through report language in the Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education Appropriations bill, the two redirected money to the U.S. Department of Education to create the IAL program. With Improving Literacy through School Libraries being defunded, IAL has taken over as the primary source of federal funding for school libraries. Focusing on low income schools, these funds help many schools bring their school libraries up to standards. This money is not enough to help every school library, but it does help some with updating materials and equipment, allowing children from disadvantaged areas to have opportunities to become college and career ready.

Stories shared will help AASL and OLA spread examples of parent and/or student advocacy to stakeholders nationally. Stories should demonstrate how students and parents value their school library program and the essential place it holds in developing lifelong learning. Stories may feature parents and students who have gone to extraordinary measures to save their school library program and their certified school librarian.

I'm hoping you can activate your state networks to help us generate some calls into Congress in support of these "Dear Colleague" letters that are circulating in the House and Senate. These letters address two programs (Library Services and Technology Act & school library grants). These issues will also be a major focus of this year's Leg Day May 5 & 6. *Please call your members of Congress at 202-224-3121 <202-224-3121> today in support of LSTA and IAL or use capwiz at* www.ala.org/takeaction Your members of Congress can help support funding for libraries and all it takes is a short phone call. In both the U.S House and Senate, there are two "Dear Colleague" letters circulating that your legislators can sign on to in order to support libraries. One letter supports funding for the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) and the other letter supports funding for the Innovative Approaches to Literacy (IAL) competitive grant program. Here is a sample call script just to show you how easy these calls can be: *Good afternoon, my name is (xxxxx) and I'm a supporter of the (xxxx library) in your district (state if it's a senator). I'm calling to ask for (xxxx's) signature on two "Dear Colleague" letters that support funding for libraries. * *One letter supports funding for the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA). LSTA is primary source of funding for libraries in the federal budget and helps many libraries provide services like job search training, digital literacy workshops, and summer reading programs. According to the most recent data, there were 1.53 billion in-person visits to libraries in 2011. * *The other letter supports funding for the Innovative Approaches to Literacy grant program. This program allows for low-income school libraries to apply for a grant to help update books and materials. * *We'd really appreciate (xxxx's) signature on these two letters. Libraries remain a crucial part of communities across the country and your support is greatly appreciated. * To find more talking points and calling information you can visit the Legislative Action Center at www.ala.org/takeaction: House Alert Senate Alert If a Congressional office ever asks you a question you don't know the answer to, simply say you can check and get back to them. My colleagues and I are happy to help you with their questions. Thanks so much for your support, it helps keep these critical programs funded!

[IMLS logo] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 19, 2014 IMLS Press Contact 202-653-4799 Giuliana Bullard, gbullard at imls.gov IMLS to Host Meetings with Library Stakeholders to Inform Future Grant Directions Mark Your Calendar Washington, DC?Today?s libraries are developing new ways to help their communities maximize educational and economic opportunities. The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), the primary federal funder of the nation?s 123,000 libraries, is launching a series of meetings to hear from a broad range of stakeholders about future IMLS funding strategies, particularly for the agency?s National Leadership Grant program. The kickoff event, to be held at the New York Public Library on April 29, will examine how IMLS can best support national digital initiatives. IMLS Deputy Director for Libraries Maura Marx will lead the series of nationally webcasted meetings with library leaders and other experts. IMLS invites broad participation via the webcasts and social media. Library professionals and the public are invited to view live webcasts of the meeting and to participate via Twitter at #imlsfocus. These interactive events will spotlight the importance of strong libraries to benefit all Americans and will explore three areas of funding that align with the agency?s three goals, supporting libraries? role in providing opportunities for lifelong learning, anchors for community engagement, and access to content. The agency is encouraging potential applicants to engage in and contribute to these discussions. In the summer, IMLS will release a revised National Leadership Grant application that will reflect the priorities identified during these meetings. IMLS intends to pivot its grant-making strategy to focus on a few specific library challenges with the purpose of making a more significant comprehensive impact in these areas. During the first meeting at the New York Public Library, participants will examine the ?hubs model? of content aggregation and consider areas for expansion. The day-long meeting will examine the state of video and e-book services, barriers to broad access, challenges and opportunities in digital curation and stewardship, innovation in ?hacking? the library, and digital literacy activities. The discussion will be framed with the goal of identifying concrete insights for funding, future research, and other tangible outcomes. The topics, locations, and dates for the three meetings follow. April 29 Goal: Access to Content: National Digital Initiatives New York Public Library May 15 Goal: Anchors for Community Engagement: Learning Spaces in Libraries San Francisco Public Library June 3 Goal: Opportunities for Learning: STEM Learning Chicago Public Library The IMLS National Leadership Grants for Libraries program invests $11 million annually in projects that improve professional practice with implications far beyond the grantee institutions. The grants help drive innovation and support projects with national impact. This springtime meeting series is designed to capture input from a broad range of library representatives and organizations to help IMLS focus its approach to supporting innovation in the nation?s libraries. About the Institute of Museum and Library Services The Institute of Museum and Library Services is the primary source of federal support for the nation's 123,000 libraries and 17,500 museums.

[IMLS logo] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 12, 2014 IMLS Press Contact 202-653-4799 Giuliana Bullard, gbullard at imls.gov IMLS Grant to Support Development of Library Digital Badging System Washington, DC?The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) announced today a $250,000 award to the Brooklyn Public Library to partner with the software developer BiblioCommons to create and pilot an online badging system for libraries. The project will result in the technical infrastructure needed for participating libraries to offer digital badge-based programs through which library customers can access, manage, and collect a variety of badges. A digital badge, like a physical Boy Scout or Girl Scout badge, represents an accomplishment or acquired skill. Digital badges began with games and other online organizations to reward players, recognize achievement, and establish credibility. They are now part of a movement, shaped by Mozilla Foundation, the MacArthur Foundation, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and other organizations, to recognize skill development and training achievements gained through self-directed informal learning and through formal professional development activities. The Brooklyn Public Library?s project is modeled on the Open Badging system developed by Mozilla and implemented in Chicago?s Summer of Learning program in 2013. BiblioCommons, a software provider that makes online data, circulation, and cataloging tools available to library subscribers, will provide an online badging system platform to be piloted by Brooklyn Public Library and multiple library partners. Partner libraries, including the Seattle Public Library, Omaha Public Library, and Tulsa City-County Library, will experiment with a variety of programming and badge promotion opportunities in their existing Summer Reading Programs. The project aims to test a digital badging system within a library environment, evaluate the technology, and present a model for other libraries. ?It is exciting to be at the forefront of the effort to bring digital badging to public libraries. Digital badging supports a culture of connected learning, and as community centers of learning, it is important for libraries to be a part of these efforts,? said Susan H. Hildreth, director of IMLS. ?For libraries involved in this project, the digital badging platform will provide new incentives for teens and adults who participate in summer learning, STEM learning, and a wide variety of lifelong learning opportunities.? ?Brooklyn Public Library?s 60 branches are hubs of independent learning, places where people of all ages come to increase their skills. We are very grateful to the Institute of Museum and Library Services for generously awarding us with this grant funding, which will enable us to add digital badging components to new and existing programs. We look forward to recognizing the many accomplishments of our patrons and volunteers and providing them with ways to validate what they?ve learned at the Library,? said Linda E. Johnson, President & CEO of Brooklyn Public Library.

A veteran in Florida uses specialized video conferencing equipment to consult with his physician remotely, saving him hours in transit to the nearest VA facility. A woman without internet access in Maine uses her public library's computers to complete her online MBA. What is the common technology enabling each of these scenarios? High-capacity broadband. Wednesday, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) held a day-long workshop highlighting the importance of building and deploying broadband technologies in rural America--and the Georgia farmer, Florida veteran and Maine graduate student were just a few of the examples an expert morning panel used to illustrate the ways in which high-speed internet connection is empowering our rural communities. One of the members of the panel was Linda Lord, Maine State Librarian and chair of the American Library Association's E-rate Task Force. Linda discussed the important role broadband plays in allowing libraries in rural America to serve as one-stop community centers and drivers of economic prosperity. Thanks to broadband, people in every part of this country are increasingly using their libraries to take classes, sign up for health insurance, manage multi-media content, receive job training and pursue a number of other self-improvement and creative activities. The use of library broadband for these purposes is growing at an especially high rate in rural communities, where poverty is high and home internet service is often poor. Linda Lord provided an eye-opening example of the new uses of broadband in rural libraries when she spoke of the innovative way the library in the town of Cherryfield, Maine is using its high-speed connection to provide local students with unique new learning opportunities. At the Cherryfield Library, children in and around a tiny Maine town of 1,200 people can "visit" a Smithsonian museum located in Washington, D.C. by taking advantage of broadband-enabled interactive video programming. Rural libraries now face the challenge of affordably expanding bandwidth to accommodate increasing usage of their broadband services. We must help them to meet this challenge not just for the sake of promoting universal access, but also to establish rural libraries as centers of technological advancement. There is an outstanding capacity for innovation in rural America. Look no further than the example of the Georgia farmer provided by yesterday morning's panel for an illustration of this point. The technology this man deployed to monitor his water usage was created by an entrepreneur in the rural south searching for ways to help farmers make more efficient use of their inputs. Now, not only is his company expanding within the agricultural sector, it is also providing broadband services to schools and private homes. Time and time again, men and women across rural America have demonstrated the capacity to imagine the advancements of tomorrow. Libraries must be able to provide these individuals with the tools they need to bring their advancements from conception to fruition. From Maine to Mississippi, libraries need greater high-capacity, scalable broadband bandwidth to unlock these tools. We hope that Wednesday's workshop will lead to policies that make stronger connectivity a possibility for libraries everywhere. In the meantime, the American Library Association's (ALA) Office for Information Technology Policy is working with Linda Lord and the rest of the ALA E-rate task force to shape the FCC's ongoing efforts to modernize the E-rate program, which provides schools and libraries with internet access and other telecommunications services at discounted rates. ALA is currently drafting comments to the FCC calling for reforms to the program that will ensure that libraries across the country have access to the scalable broadband they need to serve their communities in the digital age. http://www.districtdispatch.org/2014/03/fcc-workshop-highlights-need-higher-capacity-broadband-rural-libraries/ -- *Diedre Conkling* *Lincoln County Library District P.O.

ISBN 978-1-55570-990-7 Spaces that have been designed to allow users to create, build, and learn new projects and technologies, makerspaces employ a variety of tools such as 3-D printers, AutoCAD design software, and even open-source hardware like Arduino Kits. Developing a community around shared use of space and equipment, a tenet of the makerspace movement, fits squarely into libraries mission. Bagley examines nine makerspaces in public, academic, and school libraries, describing their design and technical decisions in depth and showing how each is doing something unique and different, under a wide range of budgets and project offerings. Enabling readers to quickly gather information about these trailblazing projects, Bagley's guide * Defines the makerspace, and describes why it fits perfectly into the librarys role as community center; * Answers common questions about implementing a makerspace project, detailing how libraries are addressing issues such as registration, usage policy, noise, software programs in digital workspaces, adapting spaces, funding, and promotion; * Illustrates approaches libraries are taking to staffing makerspaces, from Anchorage Public Library's Maker in Residence and Mesa Public Library's THINKspot coordinator, to the library school students involved with University of Michigan and University of Illinois makerspace projects; * Covers the demographics of makerspace users, from children and teens to hobbyists and job seekers, offering guidance for targeting, marketing, and programming. A sourcebook of ideas that readers can apply at their own institutions, this resource also demonstrates how makerspaces can be gathering places for people to learn how to create and build together as a community.

A veteran in Florida uses specialized video conferencing equipment to consult with his physician remotely, saving him hours in transit to the nearest VA facility. A woman without internet access in Maine uses her public library's computers to complete her online MBA. What is the common technology enabling each of these scenarios? High-capacity broadband. Wednesday, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) held a day-long workshop highlighting the importance of building and deploying broadband technologies in rural America-and the Georgia farmer, Florida veteran and Maine graduate student were just a few of the examples an expert morning panel used to illustrate the ways in which high-speed internet connection is empowering our rural communities. One of the members of the panel was Linda Lord, Maine State Librarian and chair of the American Library Association's E-rate Task Force. Linda discussed the important role broadband plays in allowing libraries in rural America to serve as one-stop community centers and drivers of economic prosperity. Thanks to broadband, people in every part of this country are increasingly using their libraries to take classes, sign up for health insurance, manage multi-media content, receive job training and pursue a number of other self-improvement and creative activities. The use of library broadband for these purposes is growing at an especially high rate in rural communities, where poverty is high and home internet service is often poor. Linda Lord provided an eye-opening example of the new uses of broadband in rural libraries when she spoke of the innovative way the library in the town of Cherryfield, Maine is using its high-speed connection to provide local students with unique new learning opportunities. At the Cherryfield Library, children in and around a tiny Maine town of 1,200 people can "visit" a Smithsonian museum located in Washington, D.C. by taking advantage of broadband-enabled interactive video programming. Rural libraries now face the challenge of affordably expanding bandwidth to accommodate increasing usage of their broadband services. We must help them to meet this challenge not just for the sake of promoting universal access, but also to establish rural libraries as centers of technological advancement. There is an outstanding capacity for innovation in rural America. Look no further than the example of the Georgia farmer provided by yesterday morning's panel for an illustration of this point. The technology this man deployed to monitor his water usage was created by an entrepreneur in the rural south searching for ways to help farmers make more efficient use of their inputs. Now, not only is his company expanding within the agricultural sector, it is also providing broadband services to schools and private homes. Time and time again, men and women across rural America have demonstrated the capacity to imagine the advancements of tomorrow. Libraries must be able to provide these individuals with the tools they need to bring their advancements from conception to fruition. From Maine to Mississippi, libraries need greater high-capacity, scalable broadband bandwidth to unlock these tools. We hope that Wednesday's workshop will lead to policies that make stronger connectivity a possibility for libraries everywhere. In the meantime, the American Library Association's (ALA) Office for Information Technology Policy is working with Linda Lord and the rest of the ALA E-rate task force to shape the FCC's ongoing efforts to modernize the E-rate program, which provides schools and libraries with internet access and other telecommunications services at discounted rates. ALA is currently drafting comments to the FCC calling for reforms to the program that will ensure that libraries across the country have access to the scalable broadband they need to serve their communities in the digital age. http://www.districtdispatch.org/2014/03/fcc-workshop-highlights-need-higher-capacity-broadband-rural-libraries/ -- Diedre Conkling Lincoln County Library District P.O.

If you are a PLD member and have not received your ballot electronically, please let me know. The PLD Board recognizes there are clarifications and additions to be made and we will endeavor to do so over the next year. If approved, we will welcome your comments and ask that you let us know how you are using the Standards and if they are valuable to your work. One area we had not addressed was - When do you know when you have met a level of a Standard? We have determined that you must meet a majority of the Essential level before being eligible to move on to Enhanced. Similarly, the majority of Enhanced must be met before moving to Exemplary. We intend to create a score sheet to assist you in deriving the level of Standards you meet, overall and may introduce some "core" values that are essential to all libraries. It is clear that we need to correct some issues with parallel language and formatting and it is our desire to include hyperlinks and a glossary. The result of the vote will be announced at the OLA Conference.

Governor's Volunteer Award Winner, Josephine Community Libraries Message-ID: Not-for-Profit Volunteer Program: Josephine Community Libraries of Grants Pass Without the volunteers at Josephine Community Libraries, 83,000 Oregonians wouldn't have access to a public library. Josephine Community Libraries formed in fall 2007, after the county closed its libraries due to funding cuts and the failure of a ballot initiative for a library district. The nonprofit today operates all the county's libraries, with volunteers filling core roles: cataloging and shelving books, providing information to library users, hosting children's story times, checking books in and out, marketing, communications, fundraising, outreach, facilities maintenance and more. The system has 360 dedicated volunteers. About 2,500 patrons check out items from the libraries each month, and 1,700 patrons use the public Internet computers. The system also has special programs for children: First Steps for toddlers, K-9 Reading Buddies for young readers, story times and the Summer Reading Program. It also has the Expanding Opportunities Program, which provides deeper access to library resources and community partners, helping people improve their prospects in education, employment and entrepreneurship.
