This year?s award winner is The Library User-experience & Assessment Un-Conference (LUAU) team. LUAU is recognized for the team?s positive impact on Oregon libraries by bringing together academic librarians from across the Pacific Northwest. The LUAU team members include Rick Stoddart (OSU/UI), Donna Reed (PCC), Diane Provak (UI), Frank Haulgren (WWU), Kate Rubick, (L&C), Laura Zeigen (OHSU), Lori Ricgilano (UPS), Meredith Farkas (PSU/PCC), Steve Borellii (WSU), Steve Hiller (UW), and Anya Arnold (Alliance). LUAU built trust to share library assessment expertise across the Alliance and with non-Alliance members within the Northwest area; identified library assessment experts and projects within the Alliance; and articulated common library assessment priorities in the field. ACRL-Oregon commends this team for their initiative in pursuing grant money to assist in funding the project, fostering new relationships, and their commitment to potentially regularly holding the un-conference. LUAU was funded through a grant from the Orbis Cascade Alliance.

Letters About Literature Reading and Writing Contest Has Begun & Has Two Deadlines [LAL Logo]Letters About Literature is a national reading and writing contest sponsored by the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress and by Oregon's equivalent at the State Library. 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. Did you know....? Nearly 60 libraries across the state borrow materials from the Oregon State Library on an annual basis - approximately 40-50 requests are filled per month. The Library and Information Science Collection is constantly growing to enrich Oregon library staff and is made available through interlibrary loan services.

The deadline for completing the summer reading statistics and ordering survey is Tuesday, September 30th.

The SRP feedback survey will go out to all Oregon library staff via the kids-lib, OYAN, and libs-or email discussion lists. This allows you and your colleagues to share your professional opinions individually. Be on the lookout for that survey from K'Lyn.

Our speaker this year is* Andrew Asher,* Assessment Librarian at Indiana University in Bloomington. Mr. Asher's talk is entitled* "Discovering Information: Investigations into How Students Search" *and is abstracted below: In today's networked information environment, effectively searching for and locating information are critical digital literacy skills. Unfortunately, while university students have a variety of powerful search tools at their disposal, they often lack a sufficient understanding how these tools work, as well as their strengths and limitations. Using qualitative and quantitative data collected from students at several universities, this presentation will examine the practices and processes of students as they locate information across a variety of search platforms, and will critically evaluate the potential for bias to be introduced into these processes. This presentation will describe how students' expectations engender search behaviors that privilege the role of the search tool itself in evaluating information quality, making students vulnerable to biases embedded within search systems. Working under the assumption that a truly "neutral" search system is a logical and technical impossibility, this presentation will then examine the types of social values tacitly embedded within search tools, and will evaluate how these values affect the experience of student researchers and how they may be subtlety structuring students' knowledge acquisition. A reception will follow the lecture and RSVPs to Michelle Pennock at mpennock at lclark.edu are encouraged. Directions, Maps, and Parking Information are available on the Lewis & Clark website. We hope you can join us! Elaine Hirsch Associate Director Watzek Library Lewis & Clark -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We now have access to National Geographic Kids (NGK) on OSLIS. What is National Geographic Kids? National Geographic Kids is a Gale database aimed at K-8 students. It includes access to National Geographic Kids magazine from 2009 to the present (3 month embargo), 200 National Geographic Kids books, and 500 kid-friendly and downloadable images. As the Gale NGK webpage points out, the database is full of authoritative nonfiction content, aka informational text, that supports Common Core and other standards. National Geographic Kids Webpage: http://www.cengagesites.com/Literature/776/national-geographic-for-research-libraries/ng-kids/ How Do I Access NGK? All statewide databases - the Gale suite plus LearningExpress Library - are available to the Oregon K-12 community via the Find Information pages on OSLIS. NGK is featured on both the elementary and secondary skins (versions). Remember that we have access to more Gale databases than we can feature. To see the full list of Gale databases, or common menu, click on PowerSearch on any OSLIS Find Information page. When prompted for a login, use the same credentials you use to access other Gale databases. If you do not know your district's or private school's Gale login, please ask me for it. Elementary Students: http://elementary.oslis.org/find-information Elementary Educators: http://elementary.educator.oslis.org/find-information Secondary Students: http://secondary.oslis.org/find-information Secondary Educators: http://secondary.educator.oslis.org/find-information How Can I Learn To Use NGK? You have a couple of options for getting familiar with National Geographic Kids. There are two short tutorials, one called Basics and the other Searching. Also, there will be two National Geographic Kids webinars just for Oregon school library staff and educators. As time permits, the trainer will also explain how to use the new Kids InfoBits interface. The first webinar is on Friday, September 5th at 8:30 am Pacific, and the other is on September 29th at 3:30 pm Pacific. One session will be recorded and available for later viewing. I will post more details about the Oregon webinars later. Please promote the learning opportunities with pertinent teachers in your building or district. Tutorials: http://solutions.cengage.com/gale-training/on-demand-tutorials/#N Why Do We Now Have Access to NGK? On behalf of the Statewide Database Licensing Program and after an RFP and evaluation process with the Statewide Database Licensing Advisory Council, the State Library just renewed the Gale contract. As part of the renewal and at no extra cost, we now have access to National Geographic Kids, Business Insights: Essentials was upgraded to Business Insights: Global, and over 250 ebooks were added to Gale Virtual Reference Library. You may have read the article about the new Gale content in the August issue of Letter to Libraries Online (LTLO), the State Library's newsletter. This announcement is available on the OSLIST archive at http://oslis.org/oslissupport/announcements/2014/august-13-2014. If you have questions, please ask. Thanks, Jen P.S. You may have noticed that we are slowly getting the new graphics on OSLIS. When the update is complete, I will make an official announcement.

It is understood that creativity is not limited to new inventions, products, or firms, but can also include revisions, enhancements, or new processes. An article in the Chronicle of Higher Education titled ?Let?s Gets Serious About Cultivating Creativity? by Steven Tepper and George Kuh states that creative people: * approach problems in non routine ways using analogy and metaphor; * pose ?what if? question; * see new or unexpected patterns; * face ambiguity and uncertainty; * use feedback to revise and improve an idea; and * bring people, power, and resources together to implement or communicate novel ideas. The Oregon Library Association Conference Committee is looking for program and preconference proposals for the 2015 Conference - Libraries Cultivating Creativity ? to be held at the Eugene Hilton & Conference Center in Eugene, OR, April 15-17. We are interested in proposals on how you or your library have been creative in cultivating your workplace or your library community. Check out the Summer 2014 OLAQ issue, http://commons.pacificu.edu/olaq/, to get a broad sense of creativity and to spark your own creative ideas. At this point the program does not have to be fully organized; you can give us a general idea of the program and speakers (if known), and fill in the other details asked on the proposal form. Each preconference or program must be sponsored by an OLA unit, so before submitting the form, please contact appropriate unit(s) to discuss potential sponsorship ((http://www.olaweb.org/ola-units). Submit a preconference proposal: https://ola.memberclicks.net/index.php?option=com_mc&view=mc&mcid=form_174718 Submit a program proposal: https://ola.memberclicks.net/index.php?option=com_mc&view=mc&mcid=form_174724 Proposals are due September 30, 2014.

PLD will be doing its very best to meet the deadline set by the Conference Committee for conference proposals as well. If you read the below email, you also noted that this year, proposers are required to get division support prior to proposal submission. Therefore, this means that you will need to get in touch with the Division in question well before the end of September, not leaving you or the Divisions a whole lot of time. The PLD Board is meeting this Friday, September 12. At that meeting, we will consider all of the proposal ideas which have been sent to us. If you have an idea, no matter how half formed or half baked, please consider getting it to me prior to Friday. Then we can consider it as a group. Even a sentence or two would be helpful. If you cannot get me something by Friday, this does not mean you are shut out. Not at all. But it would be ever so helpful. Thanks all! From: Libs-Or [mailto:libs-or-bounces at listsmart.osl.state.or.us] On Behalf Of Yen Tran Sent: Wednesday, September 03, 2014 4:49 PM To: libs-or at listsmart.osl.state.or.us; acrl-nw at lists.wsu.edu; pnla-l at yahoogroups.com Subject: [Libs-Or] Call for proposals - OLA 2015 Conference OLA 2015 Conference: Libraries Cultivating Creativity "Creativity" is not easily definable, but as librarians, we are familiar with the term, especially as we are all asked to think more creatively in order to enhance our libraries or to meet our continued challenges. It is understood that creativity is not limited to new inventions, products, or firms, but can also include revisions, enhancements, or new processes. An article in the Chronicle of Higher Education titled "Let's Gets Serious About Cultivating Creativity" by Steven Tepper and George Kuh states that creative people: * approach problems in non routine ways using analogy and metaphor; * pose "what if" question; * see new or unexpected patterns; * face ambiguity and uncertainty; * use feedback to revise and improve an idea; and * bring people, power, and resources together to implement or communicate novel ideas. The Oregon Library Association Conference Committee is looking for program and preconference proposals for the 2015 Conference - Libraries Cultivating Creativity - to be held at the Eugene Hilton & Conference Center in Eugene, OR, April 15-17. We are interested in proposals on how you or your library have been creative in cultivating your workplace or your library community. Check out the Summer 2014 OLAQ issue, http://commons.pacificu.edu/olaq/, to get a broad sense of creativity and to spark your own creative ideas. At this point the program does not have to be fully organized; you can give us a general idea of the program and speakers (if known), and fill in the other details asked on the proposal form. Each preconference or program must be sponsored by an OLA unit, so before submitting the form, please contact appropriate unit(s) to discuss potential sponsorship ((http://www.olaweb.org/ola-units). Submit a preconference proposal: https://ola.memberclicks.net/index.php?option=com_mc&view=mc&mcid=form_174718 Submit a program proposal: https://ola.memberclicks.net/index.php?option=com_mc&view=mc&mcid=form_174724 Proposals are due September 30, 2014. Notifications will go out November 4th. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Students write letters to any author explaining how that author's book changed their way of thinking about the world or themselves. Please help promote this program, including among homeschoolers. The LOC asks teachers and parents to allow students to choose a book that is meaningful to them and asks students to explain *why* or *how* the book was significant to them instead of summarizing the plot. The focus of a participant's letter is to make clear the connection one has with a book. Here's what Lynette Gottlieb, a teacher in Corvallis, had to say about the contest: Letters about Literature was a completely positive experience for my students...importantly, some of my students who do not identify as writers, and do not generally enjoy the experience, were able to write about something meaningful to them and participate in an inclusive contest that also recognized them...the process connects them to the human experience of literature. It supports my English classroom where I give students choice about reading whenever possible and teach that literature and writing are first and foremost about communication. 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. Last year, 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 national Center for the Book, Oregon Reading Association, and three divisions of the Oregon Library Association: Oregon Association of School Libraries, Children's Services Division, and Young Adult Network. Thanks for passing along the information to teachers and encouraging them to participate. Please note that this is likely the last year that the State Library will coordinate the program because of changes within the agency. State Library staff members 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. Questions? Please ask.

There are currently 8 entry level prison librarian openings, and at least 5 Senior Librarian openings, throughout California. All start just shy of $50K annually, and have excellent state benefit plans, and union representation (SEIU 1000). For those people interested in applying for the positions I mentioned, I think it is fair to warn you that if you are applying from overseas, the extra red tape involved in visas and immigration, would make it extremely difficult, but not impossible, to obtain these positions. That said, the application process is as follows. The first stop is to look at the calhr.ca.gov website. Then, search for jobs with the title Librarian, while leaving the Department field open. That should return a page with Librarian Correctional Facility and Senior Librarian Correction Facility. Each has educational and experience requirements, and an "Exam" that you must take. The Exam is very simple. Print it out, answer the questions, sign it, and submit it, with a signed CA Standard Employment Application form (STD 678). If you are qualified you will be placed on an "Eligibility List," and receive an "Eligibility Letter" in the mail. At that point, you may apply for specific positions, by submitting a copy of your "Eligibility Letter," and another signed and completed STD 678, directly to the :Delegated Testing" representative at each specific institution. It is convoluted, and time consuming, but it is the only way to get these jobs. I'm happy to help and advise as you move through the steps, though. Good luck, Brian Brian L. Baker Librarian Pleasant Valley State Prison (559) 935-4900 ext 6565 Brian.Baker2 at cdcr.ca.gov As nightfall does not come all at once, neither does oppression.

Here are some of the findings we highlight: Millennials' lives are full of technology, but they are more likely than their elders to say that important information is not available on the internet. Some 98% of those under 30 use the internet, and 90% of those internet users say they using social networking sites. Millennials are quite similar to their elders when it comes to the amount of book reading they do, but young adults are more likely to have read a book in the past 12 months. Overall, 88% of Americans under 30 read a book in the past year, compared with 79% of those ages 30 and older. Young adults have caught up to those in their thirties and forties in e-reading, with 37% of adults ages 18-29 reporting they have read an e-book in the past year. As a group, Millennials are as likely as older adults to have used a library in the past 12 months, and are more likely to have used a library website. Among those ages 16-29, 50% reported having used a library or bookmobile in the course of the past year in a September 2013 survey.

Right now, because of budgets and other concerns, we're considering phasing this in over three years. From what I understand - should we use the phased in approach - we'll have to perform duplicate check in and check out tasks (RFID and barcodes) until every item in our shared collection is given an RFID tag. Since security is one main concern at the moment, I'm wondering if the old electro-magnetic strips and sensitizer/desensitizer isn't a better way to go. I understand that EM is old technology, but as it now stands the three libraries involved in our consortium are not able to purchase all the equipment and tags at one time. Have any of you actually phased in your move to RFID? How cumbersome was it? My final question related to this: Is there a model - not RFID or EM on the horizon that any of you are aware of? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This is fewer than in years past. I do add ?best of?? collections that come via donations and will buy other trending bands and genres. Circulation of cds has already leveled and seems to be trending slowly downward. It is disheartening to watch, but I don?t think that it has a direct correlation to my purchasing fewer titles. Our reference desk is next to our collection, so I watch people browse the collection and the number of browsers over the last few years has noticeably decreased. I think most of our circs go to other libraries in the county and music aficionados who eagerly seek new music to put on hold. After reviewing sites like Hoopla, I am not ready to commit. I am not sold on the benefit or value for the cost. We also do not get requests for these services, nor are they requested during library surveys. It is very difficult to know exactly how the future will play out for this collection, but I feel that downloadable music services will probably continue to increase in popularity. Will the library be a significant participant in the patron/corporation relationship? For smaller libraries? hmmm.

Message-ID: <4D7E107C6820834D96A72AF35DFFB9C13AB274@WVMbx1.city.ci.wilsonville.or.us> Hi All, We're having a problem here at the library and I thought I'd throw it out to everyone to see if anyone in libraryland has a great solution. We have about 20 publically-accessible computers, many of which are occupied at any given time. Quite frequently, patrons are accessing their email. It turns out that gmail has a checkbox called 'Stay signed in' that is checked by default with a lovely green checkmark. If the patron unchecks this box before signing in...no problem. If the patron remembers to log out of email...no problem. If, as frequently happens, the patron just clicks the browser shut and walks away...problem! The next person who accesses gmail ends up signed into in the previous user's account. I'm not sure if this happens with IE and Firefox, or just with Chrome. The solution would be to somehow automatically uncheck the 'Stay signed in' checkbox at the login screen. Way back when, this checkbox was unchecked by default. Obviously, Google wants to collect as much data as possible on gmail users, so they globally changed the setting, but this option works poorly in a public setting like ours. An online search led me to a variety of supposed solutions (e.g. to uncheck the box then NOT delete cookies; to change an HKEY via ResEdit, etc.), none of which work. Also, patrons don't read signs. They just don't. We have the ability to make our PCs restart at the end of each session. This would solve the problem, but is non-ideal for several reasons I won't bore you with, but you might be able to imagine. So, for those of you who have read this post to the bitter end...do any solutions spring to your fertile mind? If so, please share!

Message-ID: Hello Programmers, I'm soliciting advice about how to handle the project management side of programming. Do you have tools or lists that are especially helpful? How do you keep track of what staff are working on what components, meeting publicity deadlines, etc. I'm not sure if this is the same for all member libraries, but at Sherwood we are primarily on the WCCLS server and have to login to our City-side server to access shared drives. Because of this, many staff use USB drives for saving their files for programming, making it awkward to collaborate on projects. I could make an Excel spreadsheet for tracking our programs & projects, but it's time intensive for staff to login to the City side for access, so I'm trying to think outside the box. I'm especially interested to hear whether anyone uses web-based project management tools and what you think of them.

Each message is prepared by a member 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 . *Celebrate Your Freedom to Read in **Oregon**!* The Banned Books Week official celebration begins September 21 and lasts until September 27, 2014. This annual celebration has become well-known in Oregon and participation includes many libraries of all types, including academic, public and school libraries. The Oregon Library Association partners with ACLU Oregon for the Banned Books Week celebration. The ACLU Oregon website includes good answers to help explain ?banned and challenged? books and the reasons materials are challenged. For a number of years, a generous anonymous donor to the ACLU has been funding the cost of the ever popular ?*I Read Banned Books*? buttons distributed to participating bookstores and libraries. Libraries find many ways to participate in the celebration and get their patrons involved in thinking about their freedom to read. Displays of banned and challenged books and community conversations are popular events. Looking for more ideas and support for your celebration? Visit the American Library Association website and the Oregon Intellectual Freedom Clearinghouse . Once you?ve become involved with the celebration, it?s a good time to make sure that your library?s policies and practices are in order to protect the right to read. Consider a review of your selection policies, challenge procedures, and staff training activities. Knowing what to do in the event of a challenge is something that all library staff members should know. If you are in a school library, include your school administrators and office staff in the group that needs to know. If you find that your selection policy needs some updating or that your challenge procedures are unclear, we have materials to help. Resources relating to all of these can be found on our *Intellectual Freedom Toolkit * *page. Look under the topics Challenges, Collection Development and Training. The Intellectual Freedom Committee is also available to respond to your questions about these topics.* *For a historical perspective, have you seen the *searchable database of news articles relating to book challenges in Oregon? Find it at *Intellectual Freedom Issues in Oregon: A News Database . * Finally, if you are looking for a good place to share Banned Books Week thoughts, visit our Facebook page and *Celebrate the Freedom to Read in Oregon *, ? ><((((?>???`?.? .???`?.. ><((((?>?.???`?.?.???`?...?><((((?>???`?.?

Add to our two days of insightful and thought-provoking conversation about issues related to the intersections of librarianship and technology with your own perspective and ideas. Whatever your library identity - from library director to paraprofessional to library school student - you have something to add to this discussion and we want to hear from you. If you have done some interesting research in your library, created a fantastic outreach program, developed a new technology-related service, or are just plain passionate about a topic related to our conference theme, please consider submitting. Your poster can be in traditional poster format or digital. Shock talks are just two minutes long and the format is up to you - no slide requirements. What could be easier?! To submit your idea for a shock talk or a poster, please go to https://ola.memberclicks.net/index.php?option=com_mc&view=mc&mcid=form_174842 and fill out our quick proposal form *by Friday, September 19th at 11:59pm.* We will review all of the submissions and let you know if you're in by Friday, October 5th.

Born in Tuskegee, Alabama in 1961, she grew up on Alabama and Ohio. Ms. Johnson?s presentation is a culminating event for a day-long OASL Fall conference for anyone interested in connecting, collaborating and celebrating good reads for K-12 students. Everyone is invited to join us at the Embassy Suites, Portland Airport for the whole day, or just for Angela Johnson?s presentation.

LYRASIS is convening community leaders to identify and advance good practices for the long-term support of open source software within the library, archives and museum communities. Successful open source projects have support structures where bugs are reported, code enhancements are created and reviewed, documentation provided, and user questions answered. In mainstream open source projects, the core people in those support structures usually come from companies with a vested interest in the ongoing health of the software. In projects from the cultural heritage community -- libraries, archives, museums -- the source of ongoing support varies widely: grant subsidized funding, in-kind donations of staff time to work on a project's community-focused needs, voluntary monetary donations or memberships to non-profit stewards of a project, sales of services by non-profit stewards to cross-subsidize community needs, and often a combination of all of these possibilities. This online conference will provide managers of open source software projects and organization leaders with details about support practices in use in the field and to further the cooperation of cultural heritage organizations towards common interests in sustainable open source. Join us for the conversation on either day or both days! There is no cost to attend this symposium online or at the Georgia Tech Global Learning Center. The cost of the symposium is covered by a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. [http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs180/1101555263485/img/1422.jpg] Day 1: Creating the Conditions for Community Engagement If you build it, will they come? The structure for encouraging and valuing the contributions of those that adopt the code is of equal importance to the functionality of the code itself. Adopters of an open source project come to rely on the software to varying degrees. In the same way, projects rely on adopters to keep the project moving forward. This session looks at what projects can do to encourage community participation. Day 2: Deciding When Open Source is Right for You So, whether on your own or through a service provider you've decided to use an open source package to meet an automation need in your organization. You paid nothing for the right to run the software (although you may be paying a service provider for their support of the software), so you have no obligation to the software itself, right? Arguably not. Healthy open source software is supported by a community of users, and the other participants in the open source project are counting on your support -- financial and talent -- to keep the project growing. This session outlines expectations that open source adopters should have when implementing an OSS project.

Monday we entered the next round of E-rate activity with comments in response to the Federal Communication Commission?s *Further* Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (emphasis added), and closed out a record-setting public comment period in relation to promoting and protecting the Open Internet with two public filings. I?ll leave it to Marijke to give the low-down on E-rate , but here?s a quick update on the network neutrality front: ALA and the Association of College & Research Libraries (ACRL) filed ?reply? comments with a host of library and higher education allies to further detail our initial filing in July. We also joined with the Center for Democracy & Technology (CDT) to re-affirm that the FCC has legal authority to advance the Open Internet through Title II reclassification or a strong public interest standard under Section 706. This work is particularly important as most network neutrality advocates agree the ?commercially reasonable? standard originally proposed by the FCC does not adequately preserve the culture and tradition of the internet as an open platform for free speech, learning, research and innovation. For better or worse, these filings are just the most recent milestones in our efforts to support libraries? missions to ensure equitable access to online information. Today the FCC is beginning to hold round tables related to network neutrality (which you can catch online at www.fcc.gov/live). ALA and higher education network neutrality counsel John Windhausen has been invited to participate in a roundtable on October 7 to discuss the ?Internet-reasonable? standard we have proposed as a stronger alternative to the FCC?s ?commercially reasonable? standard. The Senate will take up the issue in a hearing today, including CDT President and CEO Nuala O?Connor. And a library voice will again be included in a network neutrality forum?this time with Sacramento Public Library Director Rivkah Sass speaking at a forum convened by Congresswoman Doris Matsui on September 24. Vermont State Librarian Martha Reid testified at a Senate field hearing in July, and Multnomah County Library Director Vailey Oehlke discussed network neutrality with Senator Ron Wyden at part of an event in May. This month ALA also filed comments in support of filings from the Schools, Health and Libraries Broadband (SHLB) Coalition, State E-rate Coordinators Alliance (SECA) and NTCA?the Broadband Coalition calling for eligible telecommunications carriers (ETCs) in the Connect America Fund to connect anchor institutions at higher speeds than those delivered to residents. Going further, ALA proposes that ETCs receiving CAF funding must serve each public library in its service territory at connection speeds of at least 50 Mbps download and 25 Mbps upload. Access and affordability are the top two barriers to increasing library broadband capacity, so both the Connect America Fund and the E-rate program are important components of increasing our ability to meet our public missions. AND we presented at the Telecommunication Policy Research Conference! Whew.

Updating ECPA would respond to the deeply held concerns of Americans about their privacy. S. 607 and H.R. 1852 would make it clear that the warrant standard of the U.S. Constitution applies to private digital information just as it applies to physical property?.?* ? So said ALA today and more than 70 other civil liberties organizations, major technology companies and trade associations ? including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce ? in a strong joint letter to the leaders of the House and Senate calling for the soonest possible vote on bills pending in each chamber (S. 607 and H.R. 1852 ) to update the woefully outdated and inadequate Electronic Communications Privacy Act. To reach every Member of Congress and their staffs, the letter also was published as a full page advertisement in Roll Call, a principal Capitol Hill newspaper widely read inside the Beltway and well beyond. When last discussed in DD in mid-June, H.R. 1852 (the Email Privacy Act) had been cosponsored by a majority of all Members of the House. Today, 265 members have signed on but the bill still awaits action in Committee. With literally two work days remaining before the House and Senate recesses for the November election, ALA and scores of its coalition partners wanted to remind all Members that these bills deserve a vote immediately after Congress returns in November. Add your voice to that call too as Election 2014 heats up where you live! Attend a ?Town Hall? meeting, call in to a talk radio show featuring a campaigning Congressperson, or simply call their local office and demand that Congress protect your emails, photos, texts, tweets and anything else stored in the ?cloud? by voting on and passing S. 607 and H.R. 1852. Politics doesn?t get any more local and personal than the privacy of your electronic communications, which authorities don?t now need a warrant to pore over if they?re more than six months old. Tell your Congressional Representative and Senators to update ECPA by passing S. 607 and H.R. 1852 as soon as they get back to Washington. http://www.districtdispatch.org/2014/09/celebrating-constitution-day-advocacy-way/ -- *Diedre Conkling* *Lincoln County Library DistrictP.O.

We are working primarily from professional literature and best practices guides, but it would also be useful to see a few sample technology plans so that we know we're on track with public libraries of a similar size and budget. Unfortunately, the few tech plans that have been openly shared online have mostly come out of urban libraries on the East Coast and aren't so easy to adapt/apply to our needs. So we turn to Libs-OR. If you don't mind sharing your recently revised (no more than 3 years) technology plan, please let me know at JScheppke at crooklib.org . Rural libraries are especially encouraged to share, although any tech plans from Oregon libraries would be good to see.

This session has limited space so please register quickly.* Sometimes, if you?re offering programs on money topics, library patrons may come to you with questions about setting money goals. To assist librarians, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Institute of Museum and Library Services are developing financial education tools and sharing best practices with the public library field. The two agencies created the partnership to help libraries provide free, unbiased financial information and referrals in their communities, build local partnerships and promote libraries as community resources. As part of the partnership, both agencies gathered information about libraries and financial education. Their surveys focused on attitudes about financial education, and how librarians can facilitate more financial education programs. Join both groups on Tuesday, September 23, 2014, from 2:30?3:30p.m. Eastern Time for the free webinar ?Setting money goals,? which will explore the basics of money management. The webinar will teach participants how to show patrons to create effective money goals.

For more information about the Code4lib community, please visit http://code4lib.org/about/. The conference will be held at the Portland Hilton & Executive Tower in Portland, Oregon, from February 9-12, 2015. Proposals for Prepared Talks: We encourage everyone to propose a talk. Prepared talks are 20 minutes (including setup and questions), and should focus on one or more of the following areas: ? Projects you've worked on which incorporate innovative implementation of existing technologies and/or development of new software ? Tools and technologies ? How to get the most out of existing tools, standards and protocols (and ideas on how to make them better) ? Technical issues - Big issues in library technology that should be addressed or better understood ? Relevant non-technical issues ? Concerns of interest to the Code4Lib community which are not strictly technical in nature, e.g. collaboration, diversity, organizational challenges, etc. To Propose a Talk ? Log in to the Code4lib wiki and edit the wiki page http://wiki.code4lib.org/2015_Prepared_Talk_Proposals using the prescribed format. If you are not already registered, follow the instructions to do so. ? Provide a title and brief (500 words or fewer) description of your proposed talk. ? If you so choose, you may also indicate when, if ever, you have presented at a prior Code4Lib conference. This information is completely optional, but it may assist voters in opening the conference to new presenters. As in past years, the Code4Lib community will vote on proposals that they would like to see included in the program. The top 10 proposals are guaranteed a slot at the conference. The Program Committee will curate the remainder of the program in an effort to ensure diversity in program content and presenters. Community votes will, of course, still weigh heavily in these decisions. Presenters whose proposals are selected for inclusion in the program will be guaranteed an opportunity to register for the conference. The standard conference registration fee will still apply. Proposals can be submitted through Friday, November 7, 2014 at 5pm PST (GMT?8). Voting will start on November 11, 2014 and continue through November 25, 2014.

It includes access to National Geographic Kids magazine from 2009 to the present (3 month embargo), 200 National Geographic Kids books, and 500 kid-friendly and downloadable images. As the Gale NGK webpage points out, the database is full of authoritative nonfiction content, aka informational text, that supports Common Core and other standards. National Geographic Kids Webpage: http://www.cengagesites.com/Literature/776/national-geographic-for-research-libraries/ng-kids/ How Do I Access NGK? All statewide databases - the Gale suite plus LearningExpress Library - are available to the Oregon K-12 community via the Find Information pages on OSLIS. NGK is featured on both the elementary and secondary skins (versions). Remember that we have access to more Gale databases than we can feature. To see the full list of Gale databases, or common menu, click on PowerSearch on any OSLIS Find Information page. When prompted for a login, use the same credentials you use to access other Gale databases. If you do not know your district's or private school's Gale login, please ask me for it.

Tutorials: http://solutions.cengage.com/gale-training/on-demand-tutorials/#N Why Do We Now Have Access to NGK? On behalf of the Statewide Database Licensing Program and after an RFP and evaluation process with the Statewide Database Licensing Advisory Council, the State Library just renewed the Gale contract. As part of the renewal and at no extra cost, we now have access to National Geographic Kids, Business Insights: Essentials was upgraded to Business Insights: Global, and over 250 ebooks were added to Gale Virtual Reference Library. You may have read the article about the new Gale content in the August issue of Letter to Libraries Online (LTLO), the State Library's newsletter. This announcement is available on the OSLIST archive at http://oslis.org/oslissupport/announcements/2014/august-13-2014. If you have questions, please ask.

The suit asserts that the law violates the First Amendment, in that it is overbroad, vague, not narrowly tailored to achieve its stated goal, and is a content-based restriction on constitutionally protected speech. Read the full complaint here. The law, whose putative target is "revenge porn" (that is, the malicious online posting of explicit photos by aggrieved ex-lovers), in fact cuts a much broader swath: the complaint lists a number of every day situations in which libraries, booksellers, journalists, artists, and others could be prosecuted for distribution of protected speech that is historic, educational, artistic, and/or newsworthy in nature. The suit, *Antigone Books v. Horne*, was coordinated by Media Coalition and the ACLU. Media Coalition has created a wonderful Q&A that explains the case and discusses the reasons for the lawsuit and the law's problematic reach. Included in that is this, specifically regarding the concerns of librarians: Q7: What can booksellers and librarians do to comply with the law? A: The threat of going to prison means every bookseller and librarian is responsible for every book, magazine newspaper and video they carry. To follow the law, they would have to review each picture in every book and magazine they carry, which would be an almost impossible task. They would also have to determine whether each picture violates the law, without knowing the circumstances surrounding each photograph. Many booksellers and librarians will decline to carry material that includes nude images, rather than risk prosecution, even though they have a constitutional right to sell this material. The law also affects their customers and patrons. If booksellers and librarians are forced to remove any material that includes a nude photo, customers and patrons are deprived of their right to purchase and borrow these materials. That means you would not be able to purchase an issue of National Geographic at the bookstore and you won?t be able to borrow art books that include nude images from the library. The ACLU also has an excellent blog post explaining plaintiffs' objections to the law. There has been extensive media coverage already of this case: ? KVOA (NBC affiliate in Tucson): ACLU, local booksellers, file federal lawsuit against ?revenge porn? law ? New York Times: ACLU Sues Over Arizona ?Revenge Porn? Bill ? WIRED: Arizona?s Law Against Revenge Porn: Nice Try, But It Makes All Nudes Illegal Joining FTRF as plaintiffs are five Arizona booksellers (including Antigone Books), the American Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression, the Association of American Publishers, the National Press Photographers Association, and Voice Media Group, publisher of the Phoenix New Times and other alternative newspapers. jkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjk Jonathan Kelley Program Officer Freedom to Read Foundation 50 E.

You might also try teachers since many like to have classroom books for DEAR time, as well as charter schools that since some don't have great funding for their school library. I'd just pay attention to the quality of books, ensuring that you aren't giving outdated information to educators. Good luck!

Travel between the Portland Archives and Records Center (PARC), the Multnomah County Central Library and the Oregon Historical Society. At each location there are a variety of activities to choose from so you might want to start early! At PARC, get a behind the scenes look at a sample of the many collections found in the City's archives; listen to speakers discuss fascinating archival resources; and meet the archivists who manage some of the most exciting historical collections in Oregon. Several archives and heritage organizations will be represented at PARC, including Oregon Health & Science University Historical Collection & Archives, Oregon Nikkei Legacy Center, Willamette University Archives, Oregon Jewish Museum, Lewis & Clark College Archives & Special Collections, Oregon Black Pioneers, Pacific University Archives, Portland State University Special Collections & University Archives, Portland State University Architecture, Engineering, and Construction Archives and OSU's Oregon Multicultural Archives and Oregon Hops & Brewing Archives. Door prizes donated by participating archives will be given away every 15-30 minutes throughout the event at PARC. (You must be present to win, but we're drawing often so that shouldn't be a problem! One prize per person.) Each year we have new things to do and see, so even if you've already been to the Oregon Archives Crawl, you're sure to have a great time. And if this is your first time to the Crawl, you're going to be amazed by the diversity of historical collections available in Portland and throughout Oregon.

Today, the association released ?Progress in the Making: An Introduction to 3D Printing and Public Policy,? a tip sheet that provides an overview of 3D printing, describes a number of ways libraries are currently using 3D printers, outlines the legal implications of providing the technology, and details ways that libraries can implement simple yet protective 3D printing policies in their own libraries. ?As the percentage of the nation?s libraries helping their patrons create new objects and structures with 3D printers continues to increase, the legal implications for offering the high-tech service in the copyright, patent, design and trade realms continues to grow as well,? said Alan S. Inouye, director of the ALA Office for Information Technology Policy. ?We have reached a point in the evolution of 3D printing services where libraries need to consider developing user policies that support the library mission to make information available to the public. If the library community promotes practices that are smart and encourage creativity, it has a real chance to guide the direction of the public policy that takes shape around 3D printing in the coming years.? Over the next coming months, ALA will release a white paper and a series of tip sheets that will help the library community better understand and adapt to the growth of 3D printers, specifically as the new technology relates to intellectual property law and individual liberties. This tip sheet is the product of collaboration between the Public Library Association (PLA), the ALA Office for Information Technology Policy (OITP) and United for Libraries (UFL), and coordinated by OITP Information Policy Analyst Charlie Wapner. -- Suzanne L.

Has it held up well? Does anyone have the V shaped glass to help out with books that don't lay open, or have you found that it isn't an issue? If you are in the Portland area, could a couple of us come have a little demo and ask more questions? -Do you have any kind of DIY book scanners (I'm thinking of the kits from store.diybookscanner.org, but interested if you have made something yourself). If so, is it available for patron use? How do they do with it? How much time/energy/knowledge has it taken to maintain the scanner? -Any other products or companies we should look into?

All the larger units can be resized smaller as desired, although since each unit has only 2 end pieces, you will not be able to make 2 smaller shelving units from a larger one (unless you repurpose a middle and turn the end to the wall.) Unit #1 ? 30 shelves, 181? long Unit #2 ? 12 shelves, 72? long Unit #3 ? 30 shelves, 181? long Unit #4 ? 24 shelves, 145? long Give us a call to hold the unit.

Today, the association released "Progress in the Making: An Introduction to 3D Printing and Public Policy," a tip sheet that provides an overview of 3D printing, describes a number of ways libraries are currently using 3D printers, outlines the legal implications of providing the technology, and details ways that libraries can implement simple yet protective 3D printing policies in their own libraries. "As the percentage of the nation's libraries helping their patrons create new objects and structures with 3D printers continues to increase, the legal implications for offering the high-tech service in the copyright, patent, design and trade realms continues to grow as well," said Alan S. Inouye, director of the ALA Office for Information Technology Policy. "We have reached a point in the evolution of 3D printing services where libraries need to consider developing user policies that support the library mission to make information available to the public. If the library community promotes practices that are smart and encourage creativity, it has a real chance to guide the direction of the public policy that takes shape around 3D printing in the coming years." Over the next coming months, ALA will release a white paper and a series of tip sheets that will help the library community better understand and adapt to the growth of 3D printers, specifically as the new technology relates to intellectual property law and individual liberties. This tip sheet is the product of collaboration between the Public Library Association (PLA), the ALA Office for Information Technology Policy (OITP) and United for Libraries (UFL), and coordinated by OITP Information Policy Analyst Charlie Wapner. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It still works and has a recently replaced fuser assembly. The only issue with the printer is the LCD display screen has a few pixels out which can make it difficult to read the screen. It is a great printer, free to a good home. The printer will have to be picked up at the museum as we can not deliver it.

The Digital Public Library of America brings together the riches of America?s libraries, archives, and museums, and makes them freely available to the world. It strives to contain the full breadth of human expression, from the written word, to works of art and culture, to records of America?s heritage, to the efforts and data of science. DPLA aims to expand this crucial realm of openly available materials, and make those riches more easily discovered and more widely usable and used. This IMLS award builds on a 2012 IMLS grant to DPLA. With new funding DPLA will pursue a major expansion of its service hubs network. The goal is to at least double the number of DPLA service hubs and to use IMLS support to encourage other funders to make DPLA service hubs available to all institutions in every state in the union. DPLA service hubs are state, regional, or other collaborations that host, aggregate, or otherwise bring together digital objects from libraries, archives, museums, and other cultural heritage institutions. State and regional hubs agree to collect content that describes their local history, but also content about the U.S. broadly and, when available, international topics. Each service hub offers its partners services that range from professional development, digitization, metadata creation or enhancement, to hosting or metadata aggregation. They may also provide community outreach programs to increase users? awareness of digital content of local relevance. ?We are proud of IMLS?s support for this important step in the expansion of the Digital Public Library of America,? said IMLS Director Susan H. Hildreth. ?IMLS is committed to helping make the rich holdings of America?s libraries, archives, and museums more accessible to all.? ?The Digital Public Library of America and its rapidly growing community are enormously grateful to IMLS for this support, which will allow us to capitalize on what we have learned in our first year to make substantial progress on a national digital platform in the years to come,? said Dan Cohen, DPLA?s Executive Director. Since launching in April 2013, DPLA has aggregated nearly 8 million items from well over a thousand institutions. DPLA plans to make its services available to all collections-based institutions in every state in the U.S., and to make collections freely available to students, teachers, researchers, and the general public. 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 35,000 museums. Our mission is to inspire libraries and museums to advance innovation, lifelong learning, and cultural and civic engagement.
