Oregon's Letters About Literature Honorees Announced [LAL2014]On May 12th, the State Library will host an awards celebration to honor Oregon's Letters About Literature contest winners. Local distinguished writer Rosanne Parry will kick off the event with a keynote address. Then, after receiving certificates and prizes, students will read their letters to the audience of family members and special guests. The contest objective was for students to write to an author of their choice, conveying how the book they read changed them or the way they view the world. Congratulations to our state's honorees: Level I (4th - 6th Grades) 46 of 378 Oregon entries made it through the national screening. First Place: Olivia Flamm, Portland Runner-Up: Zoe Greenwald, Portland Honorable Mentions: Dylan Cox, Corvallis; Jack Brown, Portland; Niki Monsef, Lake Oswego; Celia McCallen, Eugene; Esm? Fife-Adams, Beaverton; & Olivia Jin, Portland Level II (7th & 8th Grades) 87 of 603 Oregon entries made it through the national screening.

First Place: Megan Sandberg, Sherwood Runner-Up: Julia Mueller, Beaverton Honorable Mentions: Madeleine White, Portland & Marissa Hagglund, Portland There were also 137 semi-finalists, which included anyone who made it through the national screening but was not a winner, runner-up, or honorable mention in Oregon. This annual reading and writing program is sponsored by the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress. Thanks to the Oregon Reading Association and three divisions of the Oregon Library Association - Children's Services Division, Oregon Young Adult Network, and Oregon Association of School Libraries; all were local cosponsors and helped fund the prizes. Also, thanks to the nine Oregon judges - a school librarian, public librarian, and author for each of the three levels - who devoted their time to reading the entries. Honorees' transcribed letters will be posted on the Letters About Literature web page by the end of May. National winners are expected to be announced in early May. If you have questions about the contest, please contact Jennifer Maurer, School Library Consultant at the Oregon State Library. Return to top of page Other Library News Oregon School Library Staffing Levels Continue to Decline The State Librarian has tracked the number of full-time equivalent (FTE) licensed school librarians employed in Oregon public schools since the 1980-81 school year. As of a few years ago, we also track the number of FTE school library support staff. Some of the figures are pulled from the Oregon Statewide Annual Report Card, and others are supplied by staff at the Oregon Department of Education (ODE). Here is a brief snapshot comparing the situation in 1980 to the last three school years: School Year FTE Library Support Staff FTE Licensed Librarians Percent Change in FTE Licensed Librarians from 1980 to Year Listed No. of Students Per Licensed Librarian Percent Change from 1980 to Year Listed 1980-81 n/a 818 n/a 547 n/a 2010-11 682 308 -62% 1,822 +233% 2011-12 697 203 -75% 2,763 +405% 2012-13 681 144 -82% 3,915 +616% The decline in school library staffing was noted on page 8 of the 2012-13 report card. "The sharpest decrease was among library and media specialists and support staff for the second year in a row, dropping over 9% from 2010-11 to 2011-12, then 8.3% from 2011-12 to 2012-13. Librarian FTE has decreased between 4 and 10 percent each year since 2009-10, for a total decrease of almost 20% between 2009-10 and 2012-13." The majority of the sharp decrease in the last few school years is a result of Salem-Keizer and Beaverton school districts drastically cutting their school library programs. The Oregon library community is working to draw attention to the issue and to emphasize the value of strong school library programs. See the related article in this edition of the LTLO. Questions? Please contact Jennifer Maurer, School Library Consultant at the State Library. Update about Strong School Library Programs & CIPs In March, the State Library reported about developments around school districts having to account for "strong school library programs" in the continuous improvement plans (CIP) that they submit to the Oregon Department of Education every three years. An ad hoc committee of OLA, OASL, and OLA Legislative Committee members has formed to reach out to school districts. The goal is to share information with key individuals and organizations to help inform them about the inclusion of school libraries in CIPs and to point them to resources to help them develop their library programs. This would include sending letters to the superintendents whose district CIPs are due at the end of June, sending letters to select education service district personnel who often help draft CIPs, and perhaps posting a press release. Another arm of the strategy involves academic librarians or writing faculty meeting with superintendents to relate the effects of lack of information literacy skills on students as they navigate the higher education world. If you have questions or want to get involved, please contact Jennifer Maurer, the School Library Consultant at the State Library.

Yikes!! If you haven't already seen the Summer Reading PSA that was developed by CSLP (the Collaborative Summer Library Program), you can check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evpQu_WX8Sc You can download the PSA from the CSLP website*: http://www.cslpreads.org/psas.html * To access the PSAs, you may be required to login. If you don't already have an account on the CSLP website, it's real easy to create one (you can access the registration form here: http://www.cslpreads.org/component/comprofiler/registers.html). There's only one catch: Only public libraries, as defined by the Federal State Cooperative System, are eligible for full and unrestricted membership in CSLP. The Oregon State Library acquired 5 DVD copies of the PSA for Oregon libraries to use in support of their local publicity. For example, our library system partners with Comcast, who air the PSA throughout the summer on some of their stations. If your library would like a copy of the PSA DVD, please let me know and I'll send one your way. Best wishes!

(S. by JJ Abrams) Message-ID: <3501AD545AEDBE4EBBA6C746A664C8BDF601E0@Tual-Exchange.ci.tualatin.or.us> Processing the book S. by JJ Abrams was an adventure! Here at Tualatin Public Library we had our expert "obscure book" processor manage this. She didn't want to interrupt the concept of the book or the readers enjoyment in how we managed all the pieces, so she kept everything on the page it was originally found. Affixing items with book tape so they can still be read and providing clear pockets (meant for discs) for the more delicate/intricate items such as the napkin. Reinforcing the spine and outer box and adding our special labels and marks she sent it on its way. It looks amazing and is very user friendly, but it was a bit of work for only two books. They have circulated a total of 9 times so far and we have yet to get them back for repair.

[UpdatedKidsInfoBits.PNG] About a month ago, I let you know that the interface for Kids InfoBits would be updated in early May. Recall that Kids InfoBits is a Gale database specifically designed for students in grades K thru 5. The Kids InfoBits interface has been dramatically redesigned. While users can still drill down by topic or search by keywords to find information, the new interface is more modern and includes more features, like the ability to translate articles into 12 different languages. The update is now live. Links to Kids InfoBits on your website and on OSLIS now lead to the new version. Because of the design layout, you only see half of the topic options on the Kids InfoBits homepage. From the homepage, click on the orange arrow to the left to see the other half.

I just had someone ask how I would feel about a foundation that would support all city departments and the library would be just one of many areas that would receive support for large projects from it. My initial reaction was no because we have many people who love the library but don't always see the city in the same light (while this would be a separate board and a non-profit, people may not be able to distinguish between the two because city is attached to the name). I also know of cases where splitting the pot between departments (although thankfully not where I work) results in an imbalance of who gets what and can vary by governance. One of our objectives in creating a library foundation is to put the funds apart from what is seen as city general fund/city funding that can potentially be taken over for use in ways other than for the library. I believe this would speak against joining a city foundation but I look forward to hearing other librarian's perspectives. Thank you to everyone has tirelessly answered my many questions. It is very appreciated and has helped me so much as we move toward forming a library foundation.

These can work with the Oregon Community Foundation and have separate funds within each community foundation. It doesn't have the same "stigma" as a city foundation would have, but it would likely do the same thing. However, having said that, I would encourage a separate library foundation as the board members would be more inclined to want to fund raise/gain endowments for a single group.

I have an update about accessing the Collaborative Summer Library Program's PSAs online: We have just learned that the links on the CSLP to the extended versions of the PSA are not working. A new link has been created and is included below. Please give us a few days to get the link corrected on the website and feel free to share this link with librarians who need it in the meantime. The "Extended Edit" version of the PSA is a version that is longer than the others adding room for libraries to add their custom information. Again those files are now located at: https://www.hightail.com/download/ZUczaXRBT001R1BxYk1UQw Also, I have been working on a tip sheet for librarians to help answer most questions about downloading the PSA. As soon as that tip sheet is reviewed by the filmmaker it will be sent out on the State Reps list. Please let me know if you have any other questions! Thanks, Charlotte Johnston CSLP - Marketing & PR Committee Chair I have attached the referenced tip sheet. Please let me know if you have any questions. Best wishes! All Oregon public, volunteer, and tribal libraries are members of the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP), and receive a free summer reading manual. To get the most out of your membership, create an account on the CSLP website (http://www.cslpreads.org/) and you will be able to access additional summer reading resources. CSLP membership dues and manual fees are paid for by the State Library with LSTA funds. Summer reading manuals are distributed by OLA's Children's Services Division, and both CSD and OYAN members represent you on CSLP committees and at the CSLP annual meeting.

Message-ID: <810CC03BDFB8D94883767344C8B7EE2E455AA9FC@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local> [Institute of Education Sciences - Newsflash] The Nation's Report Card: 2013 Mathematics and Reading at Grade 12 is Now Available! [NAEP-050714]In 2013, more than 92,000 twelfth-graders were assessed in either reading or mathematics. The national sample of schools and students is drawn from across the country. The results from the assessed students are combined to provide accurate estimates of the overall performance of students in the nation and in the 13 states that volunteered to participate in the twelfth-grade state pilot program. The NAEP mathematics assessment measures students' knowledge and skills in mathematics and students' ability to apply their knowledge in problem-solving situations. Twelfth-graders responded to multiple-choice and constructed-response questions designed to measure what they know and can do across four mathematics content areas: number properties and operations; measurement and geometry; data analysis, statistics, and probability; and algebra. The NAEP reading assessment measures students' reading comprehension by asking them to read selected grade-appropriate materials and answer questions based on what they have read. Twelfth-graders responded to multiple-choice and constructed-response questions designed to measure their reading comprehension across two types of texts: literary and informational.

The award was announced at the OLA conference last month. This week, OLA president-elect Candice Watkins presented the award to Senator Wyden's office during a trip to Washington, D.C. for National Library Legislative Day. Senator Wyden has emerged as one of Congress?s most forceful opponents to NSA surveillance. He was one of only ten senators to vote against the re-authorization of the USA Patriot Act in 2006. Senator Wyden's consistent message has been that security and liberty are not mutually exclusive. Learn more about Senator Wyden?s record on the Intellectual Freedom Committee website.

The revised Standards are available here: http://www.olaweb.org/assets/PLD/PLDStandards/final%20-%20standards%20for%20oregon%20public%20libraries%20revision%20approved%202014%20.pdf The PLD Board recognizes there are clarifications and additions yet to be made and we will endeavor to do so over the next year. We 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 also clear that we need to correct some issues with parallel language and formatting and it is our desire to include hyperlinks and a glossary.

Posted on May 8, 2014 by Adam Eisgrau After months of outward inactivity, two key Committees of the House of Representatives with previously very different views of what the government?s surveillance powers should be have just breathed new life into long-stalled efforts to reform existing national security laws sparked by the revelations of NSA ?leaker? Edward Snowden almost a year ago. On Wednesday, May 7 the House Judiciary Committee, chaired by Rep. Robert Goodlatte of Virginia, took up and *unanimously* passed a new version of the USA FREEDOM Act, H.R. 3361. Both the original bill(pdf) and the so-called ?substitute amendment? (pdf) approved Wednesday with just one ?friendly? amend?ment(pdf) were authored by Rep. James Sensenbrenner of Wisconsin. Less than 24 hours later, and quite contrary to the expectations of most observers, House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chair Mike Rogers abandoned his long-standing plan to produce more restrictive surveillance ?reform? legislation, opting instead to have the Intelligence Committee take up and pass by voice vote the Judiciary Committee?s new version of H.R. 3361 without amendment. This unexpected Committee comity significantly increases the odds of a full House vote on the legis?lation, potentially soon and in any event before Congress adjourns for the mid-term elections in the fall. Speaker Boehner has not indicated whether he will wait for the Senate to act first on its version of reform legislation before scheduling a House vote on H.R. 3361. Near term, however, the Speaker does want to take up and pass the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which funds the Department of Defense. That significantly increases the odds of rapid consideration of H.R. 3361 in order to preclude ?surveillance reform? amendments to the NDAA like those offered in the past. For his part, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Leahy has stated that his Committee will take the matter up ?this summer.? Also unclear is what changes, if any, may be made by Committee and House leadership in the bill before it reaches the House floor. Several members of the Judiciary Committee made clear at Wednesday?s ?markup? of H.R. 3361 that they will try to further strengthen privacy protections for the public and Senator Leahy echoed their commitments. For his part, Intelligence Committee Chairman Rogers issued a statementindicating that he looks ?forward to working with the Judiciary Committee, House and Senate leadership, and the White House to address outstanding operational concerns and enact the USA Freedom Act into law this year.? While the bill in its current form doesn?t provide all of the privacy protections backed by ALA and its coalition partners, ALA will continue to work with them and Congressional leadership to improve H.R. 3361 over the next few weeks as it moves forward in the House, and through the summer in the Senate. Key objectives will include: tightening the statutory language to assure that the new legislation can?t be misinterpreted and misapplied to permit the collection of Americans? emails and other communications; adding transparency to authorized surveillance efforts by permitting more extensive public disclosure by phone companies of how many government requests for data they receive and how many phone records were actually accessed in a given period; and establishing more robust ?watchdog? mechanisms for detecting potential abuses or infractions of new law. As summarized by the House Judiciary Committee, H.R. 3361: *Prohibits Bulk Collection of Data: *The bill protects Americans? privacy by prohibiting bulk collection under Section 215 of the PATRIOT Act (Section 501 of FISA), under the FISA Pen Register/Trap and Trace law (Section 402 of FISA), and under National Security Letter statutes. *New Mechanism for Obtaining Call Records: *To ensure national security officials have the needed information to keep Americans safe while enhancing Americans? confidence in the manner in which this information is collected and held, the bill creates a new process for the collection of call detail records. The government would be required to seek approval from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) of specific selection terms on a case-by-case basis. The FISC is authorized to allow up to two ?hops.? The government may renew these orders every 180 days. *Protects Americans? Privacy: *The bill codifies current minimization procedures, requiring the government to adopt procedures that are reasonably designed to minimize the retention and prohibit the dissemination of nonpublic information about Americans. It also clarifies the existing provision in the FISA Amendments Act against reverse targeting and reiterates Congress? intent in protecting the communications of Americans. Additionally, it prohibits the government from using unlawfully obtained information about Americans acquired outside the scope of court-approved targeting and minimization procedures. *Ensures Robust Oversight of Intelligence-Gathering Programs: *The bill increases oversight of our intelligence-gathering programs by providing for judicial review of minimization procedures for the production of tangible things, such as emails and phone calls. *Increases Transparency of Intelligence-Gathering Programs: *The billcreates a panel of legal experts to help ensure the FISA court adequately considers privacy concerns and Constitutional rights of Americans and also requires the Attorney General to conduct a declassification review of each decision, order, or opinion of the FISA court that includes a significant construction or interpretation of the law. The bill also requires the government to disclose the number of requests made for call detail records under the new collection program and requires the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts to publicly report annually the number of FISA orders issued, modified, or denied by the FISC. *Allows American Tech Companies to Disclose FISA Orders: *The Committee today approved an amendment offered by Congresswoman Suzan DelBene (D-Wa.), Chairman Goodlatte, and Crime Subcommittee Chairman Sensenbrenner to allow companies to semi-annually publicly report requests for information they receive under FISA and National Security Letter authorities. This amendment codifies the Justice Department?s settlement with several companies earlier this year while making additional modifications to allow for even greater transparency to the American people about their privacy and the extent of the intelligence community?s work, while protecting national security. http://www.districtdispatch.org/2014/05/house-committees-break-surveillance-reform-bill-logjam-logrolling-begins/ -- *Diedre Conkling* *Lincoln County Library DistrictP.O.

No Comments ? On Tuesday, May 6, 2014, education, government, technology and library experts gathered for ?Responding to the Second Digital Divide,? a press briefing that explored the ways that libraries provide Internet access and technology training to their communities. Panelists detailed effective tactics to sustain and improve Internet accessibility in libraries and discussed future directions for public access to information. [Responding to the Second Digital Divide - John B. Horrigan, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QIsAB24h2o&list=PL5E1ShbPqE4DYVW4egOBKavbLuoRgMRqD ] The event coincided with the release of data showing that the digital divide is expanding, affecting far more than the disconnected?according to a report, one-fifth of people with advanced online access have insufficient levels of digital skills. Panelists included Clarence Anthony, executive director of the National League of Cities; John B. Horrigan, communications and technology policy consultant and author of ?The Essentials of Connectivity? report; Richard Reyes-Gavilan, executive director of the District of Columbia Public Library, and former chief librarian of the Brooklyn Public Library; and Barbara Stripling, president of the American Library Association. ?If the research for the digital skills divide has been around for years, why is there a renewed focus?? said Reyes-Gavilan. ?I?d argue that it?s back on our radar because of this problem I?d like to call digital exclusivity. The world has lost its patience with those who cannot navigate the online world. And because those folks who cannot navigate the online world are typically uneducated, poor, or otherwise vulnerable, to many this group is really easy to overlook.? Stripling discussed what she called the ?silent dilemma? that many K-12 students face as they struggle to find both Internet access and reliable sources of information online. In her speech, Stripling highlighted the ways that school libraries provide technology resources and teach students to be digitally literate. Read Stripling?s remarks(.doc). ?Let us all imagine for one moment what it is like to be a student in today?s 21st-century learning environment,? said Stripling. ?You, like a large percentage of students, attend a school where teachers expect you to know how to find accurate information online and have the technology skills needed to navigate online collaborative platforms, such as GoogleDocs and Blackboard. Where would you go for help with computer-based homework assignments? And how do you produce quality homework if you do not know how to properly research information available on the Internet?? Government leader Anthony recommended that libraries become more proactive in marketing the value of their services to their communities. ?Libraries have always been a trusted center of lifelong learning in cities throughout America,? said Anthony. ?And we?ve taken libraries for granted in a lot of ways because we?ve not told the many stories about the impact of libraries to the community.?

We would like to count this usage because we believe it to be statistically significant. Do any libraries out there have a recommended or favored methodology for counting wireless users? We find that many people also use our wireless access outside the walls of our library - from their cars or even the public benches outside our buildings. Does anyone count those users too?

(Please pardon any duplicates!) For those who have been following along as well for those who have not heard of the Impact Survey, I have some great news - the Impact Survey is now out of beta! What is the Impact Survey? I'm glad you asked! 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: How is this different than the Edge Initiative? The Edge Initiative a self-assessment process for library staff to identify specific areas of technology and technology services that could be improved while the Impact Survey is your chance to get feedback directly from your patrons. As you can imagine, the Edge Initiative and the Impact Survey can be used together; the Impact Survey: * Fulfills requirements for conducting needs assessment and patron surveys (Benchmarks 4.2, 4.3 & 6.2) * Contributes to the evaluation of digital literacy programs (Benchmark 4.4) * Provides materials to use while building relationships with key stakeholders (Benchmarks 4.1. & 5.1) Also, presented together, libraries have a stronger case to make with local leaders about the value of the library in addressing community needs. However, your library does NOT need to be participating in the Edge Initiative in order to take advantage of the Impact Survey - this is a great tool for ANY library of ANY size to learn more about their patrons and their use of technology. The state library would like to encourage all public libraries to consider taking advantage of this awesome program while it remains free (until October 2014). For more information about the Impact Survey, please visit: http://impactsurvey.org/ Questions? They have a FAQ and a Getting Started Guide. I'm also available to assist as needed - please feel free to email or call.

They are: Hillsboro Public Library: Mike Smith and Linda Lybecker Oregon City Library: Sue Adams Tualatin Public Library: Aimee Meuchal and the Teen Library Committee Cedar Mill Library: peter Leonard Deschutes Library: Liisa Sjoblom and Tim Smith PSU Millar Library: Sarah Beasley Newberg Public Library: Leah Griffith I want you to know that none of these people were coerced. In all seriousness, they each have fabulous projects and library improvements worth shouting about and recognizing. I congratulate them on their projects and hard work. All of these efforts raise the profile of Oregon libraries while improving services and facilities to Oregon citizens-and that is what it is all about. Since this year's plan to display the SAVVIES didn't exactly go as planned, I created a NWCentral page to house the power point showing off each of these projects. Please go to NWCentral, search for 'OLA 2014 Conference SAVVIES' and take a few moments to look at it. Please think about submitting information about a project your library is working on for next year's SAVVIES. We'll figure out a better display system next year. And if you still don't know what the SAVVIES are (or are trying to be), the power point says it all. Again, many thanks and congrats to those of you who participated!

Study after study confirms that development is the single most powerful tool managers have for driving engagement, retention, productivity, and results. Yet, HR leaders know that career development is frequently the thing that gets sidelined unless or until the organization demands that some form be submitted during regular review cycles. This session sheds a much needed light on specifically what managers can do - within the time-starved, priority-rich, pressure-cooker environment in which they operate - to support employees' careers. And it comes down to this: engage in short, ongoing conversations with employees about their career options, needs, and passions. It's really that simple... and that complex.

State University (SJSU) School of Library and Information Science recently delivered a joint keynote address titled ? Getting it Right: Evaluating Library Spaces and Services? at the annual Bay Area Library and Information Network (BayNet). During the 60-minute talk, Bernier and Kemp highlighted key topics from a four-year multi-method investigation of young adult spaces funded in part by a National Leadership Grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). Bernier discussed the need for evidence-based data about youth spaces and best practices in library design for young adults. He explained how researchers generated the first empirical data available about young adult spaces in libraries. A few of the important and interesting results emerging from the surveys include the need for more seating options and the need to question long-held assumptions about YA spaces in proximity to other spaces. Kemp discussed how virtual environments such as Second Life can be used to evaluate youth spaces in libraries. Researchers recreated actual youth spaces in Second Life and other virtual environments using photographs and videos submitted by librarians. The researchers were then able to use these environments to conduct surveys about library spaces and gather data about how different elements changed user preferences for youth spaces. The BayNet event was held May 9, 2014, at the San Francisco Public Library. About 75 BayNet members attended the joint address, which was followed by a Q&A session. The presentation recording is available for viewing on YouTube: Dr Anthony Bernier: http://youtu.be/yYc2nGVCgLk Dr. Jeremy Kemp: http://youtu.be/AKaaeaeBF9k Q&A Session: http://youtu.be/_LE3DQk_q4Y More information about the IMLS-funded research project can be found on the website for YouthFacts.org.

The ?USA FREEDOM Act? (H.R. 3361) is now poised for a vote by the full House of Representatives on or about Wednesday, May 21st, barely two weeks since a deal was struck by their Chairmen to spring a new version from the House Judiciary and Intelligence Committees. As reported in District Dispatch on May 8, while the Committees? new version of H.R. 3361 doesn?t make all of the changes in current law that ALA and other civil liberties advocates believe necessary to fully protect the American public?s privacy, it does take the important step of ending the ?bulk collection? of telephone record data so sensationally disclosed in the press over the past year. Before reaching the House floor, however, H.R. 3361, must first be considered by the powerful Rules Committee. Sources say that it is likely to make further changes in the bill, including some that could weaken the public protections afforded by the current Judiciary/Intelligence version of the bill. As always, the Rules Committee also will decide what further amendments to the legislation ? if any ? will be in order when the bill reaches the floor and all other terms of the floor debate. Together with 32 of its library and other coalition partners, ALA wrote last week to all key House leaders and Members urging them to strengthen and clarify the Judiciary/Intelligence version of H.R. 3361 in the Rules Committee . . . and endorsing Congressional adoption of critical further privacy protections. The most sweeping of those recommendations are not likely to be accepted and included in the Rules Committee?s version of the bill that the full House will consider. The odds are good, however, that vital corrections urged by ALA and others will be made to assure that, at minimum, the USA FREEDOM Act will truly end the bulk collection of telephone data as Congress says it intends. NOW is the time for all ALA members, friends, supporters and privacy protectors of all kinds to contact their Representatives in the House!Use the fast and friendly tools at ALA?s Legislative Action Center to easily find your Member of Congress and to tell him or her: correct and strengthen HR 3361 as recommended by ALA and its coalition partners in their joint letter to assure that it really will end bulk telephone data collection; don?t water the bill down by weakening key protections now in the bill; and pass more legislation later this year to restore the right legal balance between guarding our liberty and our security. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

A "Yes" vote advises the Canby Urban Renewal Agency to use available Urban Renewal funds that were already secured in December 2012 to build a civic center.

[https://Rowman.com/L/08/108/0810878070.jpg] Quinn, Mary Ellen. Historical Dictionary of Librarianship. Rowan & Littlefield, 2014. ISBN: 978-0-8108-7807-5 Description (from publisher's web site) Although the history of librarianship as an organized profession dates only as far back as the mid-19th century, the history of libraries is much older, and people have been engaged in pursuits that we recognize as librarianship for many thousands of years. This book traces librarianship from its origins in ancient times through its development in response to the need to control the flood of information in the modern world to the profound transformations brought about by the new technologies of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. The Historical Dictionary of Librarianship focuses on librarianship as a modern, organized profession, emphasizing the period beginning in the mid-19th century. Author Mary Ellen Quinn relates the history of this profession through a chronology, an introductory essay, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 300 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, libraries around the world, and notable organizations and associations. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about librarianship. If you would like to request this or other materials from the Oregon State Library please use your library's established interlibrary loan process or 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.

As a result, the American Library Association and many of its coalition partners issued strong statements acknowledging that, while this may have been a useful first step on the road to restoring Americans? privacy lost in the post-911 era, much more needs to be done. ALA President Barbara Stripling said : The House?s action today sends a clear signal that the wholesale collection of Americans? phone records in the interest of national security is fundamentally un-American, unacceptable and unlawful. Unfortunately, the version of the USA FREEDOM Act voted on today was just a shadow of the one introduced in the House. ALA calls on the Senate to restore the important privacy protections stripped at the last minute from the House?s bill, and to go further to truly protect all of our civil rights. For our more than 57,000 members, that fight starts today. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-VT) has vowed to bring a stronger version of the USA FREEDOM Act before the Committee this summer. Sign up now with ALA?s Legislative Action Centerfor important alerts on this critical legislation! http://www.districtdispatch.org/2014/05/house-passes-flawed-usa-freedom-act-summer-fight-senate-looms/ -- *Diedre Conkling* *Lincoln County Library District P.O.

Posted on May 23, 2014 by Emily Sheketoff The House and Senate have drafted a bill on workforce investment, which acknowledges the work libraries do to help the public gain important employment skills and find jobs?and the legislation allows libraries to be paid for these efforts. Over many years, our congressional library champions have worked(pdf) with ALA members to include language that would include libraries in the funding for employment help in any workforce legislation. Senator Jack Reed (D-RI) and Representative Rush Holt (D-NJ) introduced the Workforce Investment in Local Libraries amendmentto re-enforce the idea that libraries were helping the public find work and their efforts needed to be part of any Workforce bill moving forward. Thanks to their continuous work, libraries are part of this bill(pdf). We hope the Senate will take up this House-Senate WIA Agreement for a vote in mid-to-late June, then it would move to the House. Sign upfor our Legislative Action Center for advocacy opportunities to help push this legislation forward. http://www.districtdispatch.org/2014/05/great-action-on-workforce-investment-act-finally/ -- *Diedre Conkling* *Lincoln County Library DistrictP.O.

Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" http://www.districtdispatch.org/2014/05/great-action-on-workforce-investment-act-finally/ Great action on the Workforce Investment Act, finally! Posted on May 23, 2014 by Emily Sheketoff The House and Senate have drafted a bill on workforce investment, which acknowledges the work libraries do to help the public gain important employment skills and find jobs?and the legislation allows libraries to be paid for these efforts. Over many years, our congressional library champions have worked(pdf) with ALA members to include language that would include libraries in the funding for employment help in any workforce legislation. Senator Jack Reed (D-RI) and Representative Rush Holt (D-NJ) introduced the Workforce Investment in Local Libraries amendmentto re-enforce the idea that libraries were helping the public find work and their efforts needed to be part of any Workforce bill moving forward. Thanks to their continuous work, libraries are part of this bill(pdf). We hope the Senate will take up this House-Senate WIA Agreement for a vote in mid-to-late June, then it would move to the House. Sign upfor our Legislative Action Center for advocacy opportunities to help push this legislation forward. http://www.districtdispatch.org/2014/05/great-action-on-workforce-investment-act-finally/ -- *Diedre Conkling* *Lincoln County Library DistrictP.O.

May 27, 2014 ? On Wednesday, United States Senator Ron Wyden will be presented with the Oregon Library Association?s 2014 Intellectual Freedom Champion of the Year Award. Following that, Senator Wyden will host a roundtable discussion on the subject of net neutrality with members of the local technology start-up community and public library leaders. Members of the media are invited to attend. Proceedings will begin at 2 pm in the US Bank Room at Central Library, 801 SW 10th Ave. with the presentation of the award. The award is granted by the Intellectual Freedom Committee of the Oregon Library Association to recognize ?the contribution made by an individual or institution that has actively promoted or defended intellectual freedom in Oregon.? The Oregon Library Association selected Senator Wyden in recognition of his ?forceful and sustained campaign to protect the privacy rights of Americans and others around the world in relationship to government surveillance.? Following the award, Senator Wyden will host a roundtable discussion on the subject of net neutrality, the idea that all Internet traffic travels at the same speed. Senator Wyden?s position is that Big Cable companies want to end net neutrality by dividing the Internet into fast and slow lanes, harming individuals and businesses alike. Joining Senator Wyden for the discussion will be Multnomah County Library Director Vailey Oehlke (on behalf of the Public Library Association); Michael Sherrod, Director, TCU/Coleman Entrepreneurship Fellows Program at Texas Christian University and member of the Executive Board of the Urban Libraries Council; Puppet Labs CEO/Founder Luke Kanies; and Antony Falco, Founder at Orchestrate.io. ?As the son of a librarian, I know that libraries play a vital role in promoting a thriving marketplace of free speech and free thought,? said Senator Wyden. ?The Oregon Library Association has an especially distinguished record of championing privacy and intellectual freedom, which is why this award really is a special honor. I am proud to stand with the Oregon Library Association to continue fighting against overreaching government surveillance, plans to end to a competitive, open Internet, and other threats to our freedom.? ### -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This lightning round aims to highlight case studies and experiences with promotion and outreach within depository libraries. Have you found a creative way to take your depository to the next level? What techniques, social media platforms, technologies, or events have you used to promote your depository? Do you have an effective strategy to share?

Easton, National Center for Education Statistics, released The Condition of Education 2014. The 42 indicators presented in The Condition of Education 2014 provide a progress report on education in America and include findings on the demographics of American schools, U.S. resources for schooling, and outcomes associated with education. Report findings include: * As of 2013, about 90 percent of young adults ages 25 to 29 had a high school diploma or its equivalent and 34 percent had a bachelor's or higher degree. Annual median earnings in 2012 were higher for those with higher levels of education, as in previous years. For example, 25- to 34-year-olds with a bachelor's degree earned more than twice as much as high school dropouts. * In 2012, almost two-thirds of 3- to 5-year-olds were enrolled in preschool, and 60 percent of these children attended full-day programs. At the elementary and secondary level, there were nearly 50 million public school students in 2011, with over 2 million attending charter schools. Postsecondary enrollment in 2012 was at 21 million students, including 18 million undergraduate and 3 million graduate students. * One in five school-age children lived in poverty in 2012, a number that was closer to one in seven in 2000. In 2011-12, some 3.1 million public high school students, or 81 percent, graduated on time with a regular diploma. * In postsecondary education, about 56 percent of male students and 61 percent of female students who began their bachelor degree in the fall of 2006, and did not transfer, had completed their degree by 2012. In that year, over 1 million associate's degrees, 1.8 million bachelor's degrees, and more than 750,000 master's degrees were awarded.

The project expands acquisition of e-books in tandem with reductions in print, so as to move both the consortium and the university presses to a decidedly electronic environment for books that will enhance support for instruction and research across the disciplinary spectrum within an environment that is acceptable to users. This presentation will report on: The challenges and lessons learned during the first two years of the program; librarian and patron reactions to this format shift; and the resulting philosophical and practical evolutions in TRLN's approaches to monographic acquisitions generally and understandings of what constitutes cooperative success specifically. Four TRLN librarians, along with representatives from OUP and YBP, will also discuss how this knowledge has changed understandings about vending and acquiring e-books, the relationship of e-books to print, and how adjustments made in Year 3 of the program reflect lessons learned during the first two years. Finally, they will discuss how the pilot could become a permanent venture.

Tired of following powerful literature with cookie cutter crafts? Confounded by events attended by children 2 to 18 years old? Think you have to be an artist to engage children in the arts? Library staff and parents often feel inadequate as artists and pass along their hang ups by safety proofing crafts or spending loads of money for professional artists to lead the workshop. In this webinar, we will rethink what it means to engage children and their families in creativity as we explore play based and process art. You will leave with very concrete ideas about designing a space and an approach that nurtures the artist in each child.

While it's been useful to raise awareness of issues within the open source and technical communities, I haven't seen anyone discussing why evaluating and checking one's privilege is actually good for the individual. In this talk, I will discuss why it's worth your while to understand your own innate privilege - or, as I like to think of it, 'stuff' you get that other people don't - and how doing so will make you more successful in your career and as a human being.
