Thursday, December 4th, 9:00 - 4:00 Eugene Public Library 100 West 10th Avenue Eugene, OR 97401 Registration for this training will close on Saturday, Nov. 29 or when full. Training is for librarians who plan to take shifts staffing Answerland's chat, e-mail, and texting service. Librarians will receive hands-on training with Answerland's software and instruction on techniques for communicating effectively online with patrons and providing reference service online. There are two ways to staff Answerland: 1 - Partner libraries: Reference staff at Oregon libraries may staff the service as partner libraries. Librarians who do so staff the service at their libraries. 2 - Volunteers: Anyone who has completed a reference class in the past 10 years from an ALA-accredited college or university MLS/MLIS program or has experience providing reference service in a library may apply to be a volunteer. Volunteers typically staff the service from home computers. If you would like to participate in the volunteer program, contact me for information about how to apply to be a volunteer. Training is free, but space is limited and advance registration is required. If you would like to attend, contact me and let me know if you would like to staff Answerland at a partner library or as a volunteer and which training date you would like to register for. If you're interested in the training, but unable to attend on these dates, please contact me to request training.

Tune in to hear the Gale Geek interview this week's Gale Expert and learn how you can do more with your library's resources! Every Friday at 8:00 am PT for this half-hour webinar followed by an additional half-hour dedicated to questions. * November 7: Library Marketing On A Shoestrings Most libraries agree that high usage and foot traffic in their library is important; however, not every library has a large budget to market their services and resources. Sally Dewey, Electronic Resources Manager from Arlington Public Library, will speak on her library's "marketing on a shoestring" tactic; call in to this week's Gale Geek to hear her tips, tricks, solutions, and best practices. ________________________________ November 14: Data Visualization, Smithsonian Institution, and the Public Humanities We are honored to say that we will be joined this week by Professor Steven Lubar, director of Brown University's John Nicholas Brown Center for Public Humanities and Cultural Heritage, Professor of American Studies, and former Chair of the Division of the History of Technology at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History. Dr. Lubar will be joining us to discuss new innovations and philosophies around data visualization and analysis, what, exactly, they offer the public humanities, and what exact "digital humanities" means. You won't want to miss it! ________________________________ November 21: The Librarian as Teacher Overcoming common misconceptions about librarians, Kathleen L. Roy, Library Media Center Director at Cretin-Derham Hall School in St. Paul, will be sharing with us ways in which she operates day-to-day as a teacher. With advocacy for her students at the center of her mission, Kathleen will touch on how she works collaboratively with her teachers, administration, and parents to provide a successful learning environment in her library and beyond.

Students write letters to an author explaining how that author's book changed their way of thinking about the world or themselves. There are three competition levels: Level I for 4th-6th graders, Level II for 7th-8th graders, and Level III for 9th-12th graders. Oregon's three winners - one from each competition level - will go on to compete nationally. Entry forms and guidelines are available online. All Level III entries must be postmarked by December 15, 2014 and Level I and Level II entries by January 15, 2015. In 2014, about 1,040 students in Oregon entered the contest, and 1 in 8 received cash prizes or bookstore gift certificates. These prizes are made possible through support from the Oregon Reading Association and three divisions of the Oregon Library Association: Oregon Association of School Libraries, Children's Services Division, and Oregon Young Adult Network. For more information, please visit the website or contact Jennifer Maurer, coordinator of Letters About Literature activities in Oregon. Thanks for passing along the information and encouraging participation, including for homeschooling families. Please note that this is likely the last year the State Library will coordinate the program because of changes within the agency. State Library staff are working to find a new home for Letters About Literature. However, if no organization takes it on, this could be the program's last year in Oregon.

This measure renews current local option taxes. SUMMARY: This measure will renew the expiring local option tax.

The LYRASIS Board of Trustees will meet in November to create a timeline and begin the search for a new Executive Director. LYRASIS, a nonprofit membership organization serving libraries, archives and museums, was established in April 2009 with a collective history of legacy networks that dates back to 1936. Nevins has been the Executive Director of LYRASIS since its creation in 2009 and served as the Executive Director of Solinet for 15 years prior. Nevins was a driving force in the creation of LYRASIS, and her leadership helped bring together Solinet, Palinet and NELINET to become LYRASIS. Under her leadership, LYRASIS became one of the largest nonprofit associations serving libraries and other cultural heritage organizations in the United States, and now collaborates with members in 49 states and internationally. In recent years, Nevins and the LYRASIS Board of Trustees have steered the organization into the digital realm and introduced LYRASIS Digital, an initiative designed to expand digital capacities in member institutions and make content and collections more readily accessible and easily managed. LYRASIS Digital Technology Services, ArchivesSpace Hosting Services, Repository Hosting Services, the LYRASIS Digitization Collaborative, and Digital and Preservation Services all grew out of the desire to serve members and their needs in a rapidly changing technology environment. Nevins also guided LYRASIS as it became the organizational home for ArchivesSpace and CollectionSpace, open source software solutions for the library, archives and museums communities. In addition, under Nevins' leadership, LYRASIS has participated with grant projects including the Gulf Coast Libraries Project, the Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) Library Alliance Photographic Preservation Project, the HBCU Library Alliance Leadership Institute and many more. "It is hard to leave an organization that has meant so much to me and has had such an impact in the community. However, with the many changes in the field and environment and the trajectory that LYRASIS is on with our digital services, this is a good time for the Board to consider the needed leadership for continued LYRASIS relevance and effectiveness in the future. The Board is confident, as am I, that LYRASIS will find an innovative leader to guide LYRASIS into the future. We anticipate a smooth transition," says Nevins of her retirement. Cynthia L. Henderson, Executive Director of the Louis Stokes Health Sciences Library at Howard University and Chair of the LYRASIS Board of Trustees, says, "For two decades Kate Nevins has provided invaluable leadership for LYRASIS and our community. Her consistent focus on innovation and service for our members not only led to the creation of the organization as a whole, but has also allowed LYRASIS to become a trusted partner to libraries, archives and museums during a turbulent period that demanded evolution of services and technologies for all of us. We will miss her leadership. I, along with the LYRASIS Board of Trustees, welcome the opportunity to fill the Executive Director role with another forward-thinking leader to help us continue to serve our members at the highest possible level." Says Nevins, "I have had one of the best jobs in the library field for the last 20 years. It has been rewarding and enjoyable to work closely with you and the entire membership. Thank you for the opportunity." LYRASIS is currently developing new digital initiatives to reach further into the archives and museums community and enable libraries to manage collections and content in new and more effective ways. Information about the timeline and search process will be shared by the LYRASIS Board of Trustees in the coming months. Candidate nominations and queries from interested individuals can be made to Paquita Wright, LYRASIS Senior Director of Human Resources, at human.resources at lyrasis.org [mailto:human.resources at lyrasis.org] and 800.999.8558, extension 4934. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ About LYRASIS LYRASIS partners with member libraries, archives and museums to create, access and manage information with an emphasis on digital content, while building and sustaining collaboration, enhancing operations and technology, and increasing buying power.

The State Library sent out information about it. One aspect of it is to get more books into the hands of school kids. To this end, there is the ability, through Scholastic Books, to donate as little as $2.50 to give books to the school of your choice (in Oregon). And until Dec. 31, Umpqua Banks is matching all donations to Scholastic Books to provide books to schools. That essentially means a 2 for 1! Who does not love that kind of deal?! It's super easy. Here is the web site: https://shop.scholastic.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/DonateView?storeId=10751&org=STOR&campaign=STOR14 You can also support this on Facebook, if that is your means of spreading the word. Here is that link: https://www.facebook.com/umpquabank. And they are on Twitter: https://twitter.com/umpquabank We typically would not use this forum for fundraising purposes; however, this is for kids and books for literacy and for a program the State Library supports. We decided it was important to get the word out. Please join me and the PLD Board in supporting this effort in whatever way seems right to you. Remember, Umpqua Bank will match donations until Dec. 31. Thanks everyone for your generosity. Mo [cid:image002.jpg at 01CFFC19.380CD220] The Oregon PTA has partnered with the Oregon Education Investment Board, Scholastic Books, and Umpqua Bank in a Statewide Literacy Campaign. As part of OEIB's effort to put all students on track for 3rd grade reading proficiency, the "stORytime" campaign recognizes the critical role of families in the development of basic skills and vocabulary development. The campaign urges parents to find every day, everywhere opportunities to talk, play, read and sing with their children, in any language. StORytime was developed with communities throughout the state, who represent the many families and children in Oregon. It was designed to meet families where they are and empower them to become their child's first teacher. The campaign was created to build awareness for the connection of literacy and lifelong success, and to galvanize communities to come together to support families to ensure that children are reading on track by third grade. One feature of the stORytime campaign is an effort to get books into the homes of students across the state through an online book donation portal. Donors can purchase Scholastic books for $2.50 and are issued a tax-deductible receipt from Oregon PTA. Books will be distributed to the elementary school of the donor's choice or can be sent to a school with the greatest need for books. The Umpqua Bank Charitable Foundation will be matching donations, up to $100,000. Together, we've set a goal to get 80,000 books in the homes of Oregon students.

Join us on November 13 at 10 AM Pacific, 11 AM MT, 12 Noon Central, 1 pm Eastern -- to hear their stories, what has worked, what has changed, and where they are going with their community projects. From this session you will garner best practices and steps to incorporate into your community building project. We will also take a few minutes to introduce the Community Heart & Soul? Field Guide recently published by the Orton Foundation. This planning tool breaks down the process into small chunks with timelines and suggestions.

OLA President Candice Watkins and Senator Ron Wyden recently co-authored an op ed letter about net neutrality that was published in the *East Oregonian* this Sunday . Watch for this letter to be published later this week in the *Portland Tribune* also. For those of you who live outside of the East Oregonian and Portland areas, feel free to ask your local newspapers to publish a copy as well. As the letter indicated, net neutrality is a vitally important issue for libraries, both on intellectual freedom grounds supporting the right to access information, and as a practical matter concerning the price and speed of Internet service. President Obama recently expressed strong support for net neutrality, calling on the the FCC to adopt "the strongest possible rules" in defense of an open Internet . This call by President Obama follows a flurry of news stories that the FCC is considering a proposed "hybrid approach" to net neutrality that falls far short of the strong protection called for by the OLA, ALA, Senator Wyden and President Obama. With the FCC expected to issue its ruling by the end of the year, opportunities for the public to influence this critical debate are running out.

Nov. 11, 2014? Eight Oregon children now have a head start on saving for college, thanks to taking part in summer reading. Their names were randomly drawn as winners in Fizz Boom Save!, a statewide campaign designed to promote summer reading programs at public libraries around the state. The Oregon College Savings Plan sponsored the program in partnership with the Oregon State Library and Oregon Library Association. Overall, the Oregon College Savings Plan awarded just over $11,000: each of the eight winners received a $529 Oregon College Savings Plan account, while 15 libraries ? three from each Oregon congressional district ? each received $500. ?The Oregon College Savings Plan believes it is fundamentally important to support summer reading programs for Oregon families,? said Michael Parker, executive director of the Oregon 529 College Savings Network. ?Studies indicate that children who don't read during the summer can lose up to three months of reading progress. If we can get kids to enjoy reading now, we?re setting them up for greater success in school and in life.? According to the Oregon State Library, nearly 201,325 children and teens participated in the summer reading programs offered at public libraries throughout Oregon, reading 149,898 books. More than 65,788 participants reached their reading goals and finished the summer reading program. ?This is the fifth year that we?ve partnered with the Oregon College Savings Plan on summer reading,? said MaryKay Dahlgreen, Oregon State Librarian. "The Fizz Boom Save! campaign was a great incentive for all Oregon youth to participate in their library's summer reading program." Exactly 5,594 children and teens participated in the Fizz Boom Save! summer reading program. The eight winners included: * John Ficher of Myrtle Point, Grade 4, Flora M Laird Memorial Library * Javon Hoffman of Beaverton, Grade 1, Hillsboro Public Library ? Shute Park Branch Library * Aspen Bailey of McMinnville, Grade 1, McMinnville Public Library * Oliver DeMasi of Philomath, Grade 4, Corvallis-Benton County Public Library ? Philomath Community Library * Caleb Vaughan of Prineville, Grade 2, Crook County Library * Sophia Marsh of Albany, Grade 5, Albany Main Library * Rebekah Hewlett of Bend, Grade 2, Deschutes Public Library System ? East Bend Library * Isabella Johnston of Portland, Grade 3, Multnomah County Library ? Hollywood Library As part of its sponsorship, the Oregon College Savings Plan also underwrote a series of free special performances for libraries in communities with a population of 10,000 or less with a goal to engage and motivate young readers, while helping these smaller libraries drive traffic and encourage summer reading. Select libraries and their patrons enjoyed entertainment from award-winning storyteller Christopher Leebrick, Dragon Theater Puppets, Penny?s Puppets, Charlie Brown the Juggler, and Rich Glauber?s Music in Action throughout the summer months. About The Oregon College Savings Plan The Oregon College Savings Plan, which is part of the Oregon 529 College Savings Network, launched in January 2001 and has grown to more than $1 billion in assets as of September 30, 2014. The plan is managed by TIAA?CREF Tuition Financing, Inc.

Today.? - and we do mean *today*. Here's the situation: Thanks to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Senators will cast a key vote on Tuesday afternoon that is, in effect, "do or die" for meaningful USA PATRIOT Act reform in the few remaining weeks of the ?lame duck? Congress. If Senators Reid and Patrick Leahy can't muster 60 votes on Tuesday to bring Senator Leahy?s USA FREEDOM Act (S. 2685 ) to the floor, then the overwhelming odds are that another bill nearly as good won?t have a prayer of passage for many years. Sadly, it?s not at all certain that 60 Senators are leaning in that direction. That?s where you come in! Now is the time for librarians (and everyone else concerned with their privacy and all of our civil liberties) to come to the aid of Sens. Leahy and Reid, and their country. Just click the big ?Click Here to Act Now? button below to quickly and automatically identify your Senators and Representative in the House, and to send them a letter we?ve drafted for you with just one click asking them to take up and pass Sen. Leahy?s USA FREEDOM Act without any harmful amendments. Acting now is critical . . . and it's easy and fast. Please contact your members of Congress.

Our theme is: "Beyond Curation: Libraries as Creators of Cultural, Digital, and Material Things" The stereotype of a library as a storehouse for books is long outdated. Today's libraries?whether they're public, academic, school, or otherwise?are used as spaces to create as well as read, research, and learn. Nevertheless, for most people, the word ?library? still calls up images of books and little else?or, at best, of a place to browse the Internet. We want to hear about the various acts of creation in Oregon?s libraries and beyond, whether they are acts of cultural creation (archives collections, cultural spaces and collections, graduates and citizens, etc.), digital creation (online collections, interactive web-based exhibits, etc.), material creation (Makerspaces and other initiatives), or otherwise. What about other ways in which libraries have?in general?gone beyond the "traditional" aspects of librarianship? Tell us about your creative innovations!

Each message is prepared by members of OLA's Intellectual Freedom Committee. Look for our message on a Tuesday each month of the academic year except December. Questions can be directed to the IF Committee member who sent the message or to one of the co-chairs of the IFC: http://www.olaweb.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=159 Most of us know about censorship in the form of challenges to material in a library's collection. It would be unusual for most any of us to work long in Library Land without having a challenge to a book, a film, use of a programming area, or even a display. We label such actions as censorship or attempted censorship. But what about self-censorship? Self-censorship in libraries happens when, out of fear or deference to the sensibilities of others (patrons, coworkers, administration, etc,.), but without any overt pressure from anyone in authority, we, or those in charge of material selection, programming, meeting rooms, or displays opt not to purchase, program, or display something that could be perceived as potentially upsetting or controversial. The OLA Intellectual Freedom Committee's Intellectual Freedom Toolkit may have some good resources for you and your library when thinking about the issues of self-censorship. Its sections and subsequent links for Library Policies and Collection Development each contain helpful articles and other resources. http://www.olaweb.org/intellectual-freedom-toolkit#Development Additional reading resources regarding self-censorship include but are certainly not limited to: The New York Library Association's Self-Censorship checklist: http://www.nyla.org/images/nyla/files/Self-Censorship.pdf And the following linked articles: Lester Asheim's 2005 article "Not Censorship but Selection",digitally linked from the ALA site: http://www.ala.org/advocacy/intfreedom/censorshipfirstamendmentissues/notcensorship "Self-Censorship: Let's Talk About It" by Megan Schliesman, Cooperative Children's Book Center, School of Education University of Wisconsin, Madison: https://ccbc.education.wisc.edu/freedom/selfcensorship.asp "A Dirty Little Secret: Self-Censorhip" by Debra Lau Whelan from School Library Journal: http://www.slj.com/2009/02/censorship/a-dirty-little-secret-self-censorship/#_ Questions?

In the past 24 hours (and most of the past week), our hygrometers have been?hovering between 20 and 27. We would like to strategically place some humidifiers in the office to reduce dry-eyes, respiratory issues,?and bloody noses. The problem is finding an affordable, reliable humidifier. I have spent an inordinate amount of time locating a decent model. Does one even exist? I have learned that humidifiers can cause "humidifier-lung," spread bacteria, distribute white dust, require incessant cleaning, can be noisy, or are, simply, inefficient. Two questions: Does anyone use a humidifier in their office or building? Can anyone recommend a make/model for our library? As always, thanks in advance for the response.

IRDL is designed to bring together all that the literature tells us about the necessary conditions for librarians to conduct valid and reliable research in an institutional setting. The cohort will be chosen from a selective submission process, with an emphasis on enthusiasm for research and diversity from a variety of perspectives, including ethnicity and type and size of library. The Advisory Board, comprised of librarians with research experience in a variety of settings, will use an open review process to select participants who will travel to Los Angeles, California, participate in all Institute activities, and conduct a research project during the 2015-2016 academic year. The online application requires a proposed research project that will be revised at the workshop and will be the basis for the study to be completed in the coming year.? Librarians accepted into the program ?will receive, at no cost to them, instruction in research design and a full year of peer/mentor support to complete a research project at their home institutions. The summer Institute for Research Design in Librarianship (IRDL) workshop is supplemented with pre-Institute learning activities and a personal learning network that provides ongoing mentoring.? The workshop will be held on the campus of Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, California, from July 13-23, 2015.

Good news, 1040EZ forms and instructions can be ordered, but each outlet will definitely only be receiving a single copy of Publication 17. The link to this publication online is: http://www.irs.gov/file_source/pub/irs-pdf/p17.pdf Tax Forms Outlet Program (TFOP) News First, we would like to apologize for not being clear about budget-based decisions under consideration that impact the TFOP Program. While we did invite a small number of our partners to provide feedback about our desire to reduce the forms distributed through our partnership with you, we know now that we have a broader opportunity to do so in the future if further changes are being considered for the program. Second, based on your concerns, we are returning the Form 1040EZ and instructions to the list of products you can order. We now have a better understanding of how important you believe this form is to your patrons and the negative effect it would have if it were not available. And third, we understand your concerns with the elimination of Publication 17 from general distribution. Unfortunately, it cannot be helped with our current budget situation. As soon as Publication 17 is printed, we will mail a reference copy to each TFOP location. Publication 17 will be available electronically on IRS.gov and your customers can purchase it from the Government Printing Office for a small fee. Additionally, we will email Form 8635-S, Supplement to Form 8635, to you in several days. Use Form 8635-S to order forms, instructions and publications that were not on the initial order form sent in October. Again, we apologize for any inconvenience our earlier actions may have caused.
