Need Content for Social Media Postings? Check out the Gale/Cengage Learning Blog! [GCBlog]Keeping your Library's Facebook or Twitter feeds fresh with current content can be a challenge. Need some inspiration? The Gale/Cengage Learning Blog highlights current topics of interest to a wide variety of audiences. Postings are divided into streams by topics of interest to academic, school, and public libraries. There is also a stream for product updates. Recent content includes a story about using Gale/Cengage Learning content in social media marketing at the Chandler (Az.) Public Library, suggested resources for National Hispanic Heritage Month, and background reading suggestions for understanding the recent independence vote in Scotland. A recent product update also introduces a new feature for highlights and notes in many of the Gale/Cengage Learning database platforms. Use the blog to set up a social media channel with the platform that works best for you. Some of the resources highlighted in the blog are not available in Oregon's Statewide Database Licensing Program contract, but don't let that keep you from exploring this rich source of ideas for your next Facebook post! Questions? Contact Arlene Weible, Electronic Services Consultant.

Message-ID: I am pleased to announce that Rachael Short has accepted the Answerland Coordinator position! She began work officially on September 30. Many thanks to Emily Papagni for juggling two jobs while she filled in over the summer during the recruitment process. Rachael has been staffing the Answerland service here at Multnomah County Library since 2009 and has also served on the planning team for the Oregon Digital Reference Summit. She has held a variety of information services positions at Multnomah County Library, including serving in lead worker roles in Interlibrary Loan, Virtual Information Services and Central Library Collection Management. Rachael is a graduate of Reed College and has her MLIS from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukie. She is a member of the OLA Oregon Authors Committee and an inaugural member of MCL's innovative My Librarian team. I am confident that Rachael will provide strong and steady leadership in her limited-duration role as we transition the Answerland service to a new fiscal agent and funding model by the end of June 2015. She is looking forward to the challenge and eager to work with staff from all types of libraries around the state. Please help make her welcome!

We are very lucky to be joined this year by author, *Marc Aronson*! Aronson will be doing a special afternoon session for workshop participants, but can be attended independent of the workshop. Aronson won the first Sibert Award in 2001 with his book *Sir Walter Ralegh and the Quest for El Dorado. *He is the leader in the field in writing fantastic nonfiction books for youth of all ages. *Sugar Changed the World: A Story of Magic, Spice, Slavery, Freedom, and Science*; *Master of Deceit: J. Edgar Hoover and America in the Age of Lies*; and *If Stones Could Speak: Unlocking the Secrets of Stonehenge* are just a few of his books that have really raised the bar on great nonfiction storytelling that truly inspires readership in youth. Not only does he publish great books for kids, his column with *School Library Journal,* Consider the Source shows librarians the possibilities of nonfiction in their libraries, and he is the expert resource in helping libraries navigate the Common Core standards. With the amount of great nonfiction being published for youth, and the push in schools to use more information texts in curriculum, has there ever been a better time to explore our passion and evaluation skills for great nonfiction? Without further ado, please allow me to introduce: *2014 Children?s Services Division Mock Sibert Workshop* *Saturday December 13**th* *9:00 am ? 3:30 pm* *Wilsonville Library, Wilsonville, OR* Click here to register: The 2015 CSD Mock Sibert Workshop follows up on the long-standing CSD tradition of offering high quality Mock workshops.

Sibert Medal is a book award of the Association for Library Services to Children, a division of the American Library Association. It is given annually to the author(s) and illustrator(s) of the most distinguished informational book published in the United States in English during the preceding year. Join your friends and colleagues from around Oregon for a day of fun and learning! The morning will include: 1. An overview of the experience of serving on the ALA Sibert Committee and how to judge nonfiction using the Sibert Award criteria 2. Breaking into discussion groups for a lively discussion of a selection of nonfiction titles published in 2014. Each group will pick a winner and honor titles. 3. Reconvening as a large group for more lively discussion to crown the 2015 CSD Mock Sibert Medalist. Then enjoy an inspiring and enlightening afternoon in conversation with one of the leaders in the field in both the publication and use of nonfiction for youth. *Registration Deadline is Sunday, December 7th, 2014* *Cost for workshop is $15 (includes lunch), afternoon session free to CSD members $10 for nonmembers.* This year?s discussion titles are: ? *Albee, Sarah.

The talk will take place in the Valley Library's Willamette East seminar room. McGuffie is a M.A. candidate in the History of Science and Graduate Teaching Assistant in OSU?s School of History, Philosophy and Religion. His presentation is titled ?A Landscape Up for Grabs: How Hanford?s Environmental Scientists Recreated Nature at the United States? Most Polluted Place.? An abstract is included below. In the 1960s and 1970s, environmental scientists at the Atomic Energy Commission?s (AEC) Hanford Site in Washington State took on a decisive role in determining the site?s mission and future. They did so amid an identity crisis at Hanford. By 1972 all the original plutonium production reactors had been shut down. Once the flagship of the AEC?s defense-related plutonium production line, Hanford no longer had a core mission. In the ensuing search for purpose, the environmental scientists at Hanford?s Pacific Northwest Laboratory (PNL) began to define a mission for the site through their research. In 1968, they launched the Arid Lands Ecology (ALE) Reserve, a 120-square-mile sequestered natural area on the site?s western boundary. ALE Reserve became the nexus of PNL?s involvement in the International Biological Program (IBP). In their work for the IBP, the environmental scientists began to study the land and its ecosystems in their own right, rather than in relation to the nuclear establishment at Hanford. Through their research, they eventually came to see ALE Reserve as a pristine landscape that preserved native flora and fauna. They worked to not just study the reserve, but to ensure its preservation as a constitutive part of Hanford. In 1999, ALE Reserve became part of Hanford Reach National Monument. The values and virtues first annunciated by the environmental scientists in the ?60s and ?70s evolved into the creation narrative for the national monument. In this way, the scientists used their research to create a pristine landscape right next to the nation?s most polluted place. We hope to see you there! Regards, Larry Landis Lawrence A.

We have found, however, that our microfilm, when viewed on our machine, is both upside and mirrored. We have looked through the manual and don't seem to be missing any parts, at least as far as we can tell, and the only solution we can think of is unrolling, flipping, and re-rolling every roll of microfilm. Before we take on such a tedious task, we thought we would inquire if anyone else has ever encountered this problem and how they have solved it. Or if anyone knows what is causing this problem. Thanks! Sincerely, Gresham Historical Society -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Margaret was born in Michigan in 1912, and moved to Portland with her parents when she was very young. She graduated from Reed as a 'townie' in 1934. and earned her Master's degree in librarianship from Columbia University in 1939. She worked several years for what is now Multnomah County Library, with most of that time being in what was then called the Albina branch library, now the home of the Title Wave used bookstore. Margaret quit librarian work after the birth of her son, and moved to Palo Alto California, where her husband worked for United Airlines. She became active and successful in efforts to integrate the churches of Palo Alto, which she remained proud of all her life. After the death of her husband, Margaret returned to the Portland area and took up residence in King City. I met her when I was working in the Tigard Public Library about 17 years ago, when the volunteer coordinator, Trish Stormont, brought this white-haired little old lady to me and said she wanted to learn to use computers. I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly she caught on, and soon she was giving the job of checking donations to see if we already had copies in our collection. It wasn't long before she would bring a few volumes to me and say things like "We don't have this book under this name, but we do as an alternative title." That led to my discovering her professional experience. Once a librarian, always a librarian. We became friends, sharing food and talking books, and of her travels to Japan, Australia, Africa and Kansas City. Margaret left Tigard when she moved into a retirement facility to be with her sister. She called me to tell me her new home, which was just a few blocks from my house. We would have occasional outings as the years went by. Once I took her to the Title Wave, and introduced her to the staff there. They broke my heart by treating her as an annoyance. She herself was in her late 90s by then, and didn't seem to mind such things anymore. Margaret had to reduce her belongings when she moved to the retirement home, but she kept a fine set of R.L. Stevenson that belonged to her father, and a well-worn first edition of Out of Africa by Dinesen. That one she had picked them up when it was new. For her hundredth birthday she was taken on a fast ride in a red convertible by a nephew, visited the house she grew up in, and marveled at the size of a tree planted by her father. Margaret faded a little after her centenary, but I think much of that was frustration with her hearing aids more than mental loss. At her 102d birthday party last August, held under a great Sycamore tree, she immediately greeted and recognized my wife Mary, whom she hadn't seen for a couple of years. I took that occasion to bring up my usual tease about her having studied with Melville Dewey at Columbia, and she would always insist that he was gone by then, but some of her teachers knew him. So a salute to Margaret, whom some of us will remember. Tony Greiner **tony_greiner at hotmail.com** -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Here's a sneak peek (hope you can see the pic): [cid:image001.jpg at 01CFE3EA.F3E690E0] To learn how it works, access the Word document via the archived OSLIST posting: http://oslis.org/oslissupport/announcements/2014/october-9-2014. Want some extra deets? * Highlights and Notes is available in Kids InfoBits, GVRL, In Context products, and InfoTrac products. * Highlighted sections and notes will go away when the Gale session is closed. (But don't fear because you can print, email, or download your stuff!) * Teachers can project a Gale article and use the new feature to model note taking and close reading skills, students can start identifying information that will help them answer their inquiry questions, and so...much...more.

Yet diverse religious, philosophical, and cultural traditions present our mortality not as something to be feared or defied, but as a means of learning how to live a full life. Can acknowledging our mortality bring greater meaning to life? This is the focus of "Grave Matters: Reflections on Life and Death across Cultures and Traditions," a free conversation with Courtney Campbell on Tuesday, October 28, 7:00pm at the Tualatin Public Library. Campbell is the Hundere Chair in Religion and Culture and a professor in the School of History, Philosophy, and Religion at Oregon State University. He has been on the faculty at OSU since 1990 and has received numerous awards for teaching and scholarship. Campbell serves on the board of directors for Benton Hospice, the ethics committee for Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center, and coordinates the program in medical humanities at OSU. This program is hosted by Tualatin Public Library and sponsored by Oregon Humanities. Through the Conversation Project, Oregon Humanities offers free programs that engage community members in thoughtful, challenging conversations about ideas critical to our daily lives and our state's future.

Eileen was a pioneer in establishing and facilitating consortial relationships and was instrumental in bringing school, public, and academic libraries together to share resources in times when such agreements were rare. She had a great deal of compassion for all of our needs and the patience to work through sometimes thorny situations until we were all able to work as one. She was a courageous woman and I learned much from her in my over thirty years of working with her. Her loss, for me, is both personal and professional, and I know that I am not alone in this feeling. At this point, there is no information regarding a service. Peace be with us all, Lynn Lynn N.

ISBN: 978-0-8389-1257-7 Description The author suggests an approach for dealing with archival collections that have not yet been processed or having finding aids. Extensible processing allows collection managers to first establish a baseline level of access to all holdings, then conduct additional processing based on user demand and ongoing assessment.The book lays out the basic principles, discusses archival standards, and provides a sample workflow that can be adapted to any environment.

Materials will be delivered via mail or Orbis Cascade Alliance Courier, and you may return them the same way. Normally a single copy is purchased and is loaned on a first-come-first-serve basis. You may be put on a hold list for several weeks. Most library staff are able to use their library's interlibrary loan service to borrow professional development material. However, if you do not have access to these services or are not currently affiliated with a library, please contact me to discuss alternative options for borrowing the material.

Though you may not have the answer immediately, you can reassure questioners that they are being heard and that there are policies in place. When you need help, there are people you can contact. Be ready when someone has questions. Make sure your library has well-considered policies that support everyone?s rights and interests. *Where Can I Get Help?* Oregon Library Association- Intellectual Freedom Committee The IFC encourages libraries to develop policies related to intellectual freedom, including selection, privacy and electronic transmission. The members of the committee are listed on the committee?s page. Oregon State Library/ Intellectual Freedom Clearinghouse The clearinghouse maintains records related to challenges in Oregon and provides information and resources to libraries dealing with challenges. American Library Association- Office for Intellectual Freedom The OIF educates librarians and the general public about the nature and importance of intellectual freedom in libraries. American Civil Liberties Union of Oregon ACLU is a nonpartisan organization that works to preserve and enhance civil liberties and civil rights. Oregon Library Association Intellectual Freedom Toolkit The IF Toolkit contains resources for all types of intellectual freedom issues, including challenges to materials, privacy, collection development, library policies and staff training. *What Should I Do Before IF Issues Arise?* Planning ahead is always a good idea. It may not prevent all questions, but everyone will be more prepared to deal with the questions. o *Policies* that delineate how spaces are used and services provided should exist for all libraries. o *Review* your policies to make sure that potential legal and intellectual freedom issues have been considered. o *Train* all staff in intellectual freedom issues and about existing policies so that everyone responds in a way that supports the policies for your facility. Resources to help with policy development and review as well as with staff training are available in the IF Toolkit. Questions? Contact any of these members of the IFC.

The 28-month project, funded with a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, addresses the preservation needs of special photographic and magnetic media collections and enables increased use of this content for instruction and research. All of the HBCUs that participated in the first two Preservation Projects were invited to apply and the following were selected for participation in the project based on the significance of their collections and institutional capacity related to preservation, special collections and community engagement: * The Atlanta University Center - Robert Woodruff Library (GA), * Fisk University (TN) * Hampton University (VA) * Johnson C. Smith University (NC) * Tuskegee University (AL) These HBCUs hold extensive and important collections that document the African American experience from Reconstruction through the Civil Rights Era in photographs and magnetic media (e.g., audio cassette tapes, video tapes, and reel-to-reel tape recordings). Access to much of the content in these collections has been limited or non-existent. Each of these institutions will receive grants of up to $50,000 to fund preservation and access efforts for photographic and/or magnetic media special collections. This may include: repair, cleaning, and re-housing of materials; reformatting of selected collection items; and/or consulting to improve environmental conditions for special collections. During the project, library and archives staff will conduct outreach to faculty and other HBCUs, as well as speak at professional conferences in order to promote use and awareness of the contents of their collections. All five HBCUs will also employ student interns to work on project materials to cultivate an interest among undergraduates in careers in librarianship as well as archival conservation and environmental science. "I am excited to continue this important work by collaborating with these five institutions and build on the momentum from the first two projects," stated Steve Eberhardt, HBCU Preservation Project Coordinator at LYRASIS. "This project will increase the impact that these formerly inaccessible, yet extremely valuable and unique collections will have on scholarly research and the documenting of U.S. history." "LYRASIS is honored to be a part of this effort in preserving and sharing this invaluable and culturally rich information with the larger community," stated Kate Nevins, Executive Director of LYRASIS. "This project is yet another example of our commitment to working with libraries to increase access to content by leveraging digitization, technology and expertise of a diverse and collaborative group of information professionals." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ About LYRASIS LYRASIS, a non-profit membership organization, 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.
