The ALA Office for Diversity, Literacy and Outreach Services invites library professionals from all kinds of institutions to submit proposals to participate in the 2015 Diversity and Outreach Fair, to be held from 3 ? 5 p.m. on Saturday, June 27 at the American Library Association's Annual Conference in San Francisco. *Applications will be accepted through Friday, May 15, 2015*. Generously sponsored by DEMCO, the ALA Diversity and Outreach Fair is an opportunity for libraries and member groups to share their successful diversity and outreach initiatives with ALA Annual Conference attendees, celebrate diversity in America?s libraries and exhibit ?diversity in action? ideas. The theme of this year?s Fair will be library services for poor and homeless people. The 2015 Diversity and Outreach Fair will feature innovative and successful library-based programs geared towards serving poor and homeless people. Libraries provide many meaningful services and resources to poor and homeless patrons, from programming and outreach, to reference services, or ?preventative librarianship,? where individuals can be connected to essential resources, including information on obtaining food and housing, healthcare and education. To maximize reach and effectiveness of these services, libraries often collaborate with community partners to help reach poor and homeless people in their community. Also considered for participation are proposals that highlight library services to underserved or underrepresented communities, including people with disabilities; poor and homeless populations; people of color; English-language learners; gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people; new Americans, new and non-readers; older adults; people living in rural areas; incarcerated people and ex-offenders and mobile library services and bookmobiles. Selected presenters will develop and facilitate a poster session to be held during the ALA 2015 Annual Conference in the exhibits hall. In addition, the participants are encouraged to submit, in digital format, information and resources from their program, to be shared through the Virtual Diversity and Outreach Fair on OLOS Columns.

Sager ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Michael Dowling Date: Wed, Apr 1, 2015 at 6:54 AM Subject: [alacro-l] ALA Statement on Indiana Religious Freedom Restoration Act To: "ALACro-l at lists.ala.org" ALA President Courtney Young releases statement regarding Indiana?s new Religious Freedom Restoration Act Tue, 03/31/2015 CHICAGO ? Indiana Governor Mike Pence recently signed into law the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (Section 1.IC34-13.9 of the Indiana Code) as passed by the Indiana General Assembly. The law is part of a disturbing trend of ?RFRA?s? that many states are passing to guarantee that people and businesses have the right to exercise their constitutional freedom of religion in regard to the services they offer to the public. Unlike many other states, Indiana does not have a non-discrimination law that protects GLBTQ persons and provides an opportunity to legalize intolerance. Following Governor Pence?s request that the General Assembly try to fix the law amidst local and national outcry, American Library Association (ALA) President Courtney Young released the following statement: ?The Religious Freedom Restoration Act contradicts the fundamental values of the ALA and libraries. The ALA deplores and rejects any law that violates the civil liberties of any person. Our association is built around the ALA Code of Ethics and the Library Bill of Rights that reflect this deeply held value. Access to all applies to libraries as well as restaurants, businesses, and associations like ours. ?We reaffirm that is it is the responsibility of library staff everywhere, regardless of the legal ability to refuse service, to offer equal and unfettered access to all users in keeping with the library Bill of Rights and principles of intellectual freedom. ?The Indiana RFRA has understandably triggered deep concern in the ALA community, which is currently scheduled for its 2021 Midwinter Meeting in Indianapolis. Although the law has been denounced by the Mayor of Indianapolis, the Chamber of Commerce, and many businesses, the ALA and key Indiana members continue to monitor the legislative situation. ?ALA?s Task Force on Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion is calling for input from the membership?how can we best engage our host communities when ALA holds its conference in the midst of a local controversy that touches us all? ?The ALA and its members will continue efforts to work towards developing a long-term strategy to encounter the growing trend of RFRA?s, which threaten to undermine civil rights and the fundamental principles upon which libraries are founded.? The American Library Association (ALA), the voice of America?s libraries, is the oldest, largest, and most influential library association in the world. Its approximately 56,000 members are primarily librarians but also trustees, publishers, and other library supporters. The Association represents all types of libraries; its mission is to promote the highest-quality library and information services and public access to information.

A LONG HIGH WHISTLE: SELECTED COLUMNS ON POETRY By David Biespiel (Antilever Press, Pub date: April 1, 2015) Regular readers of the books section of the Oregonian will remember that from 2003-2013 poet and critic David Biespiel wrote a brief essay on poetry every month in what became the longest-running newspaper column on poetry in the United States. "David Biespiel's column on poetry was a hit with readers from the moment it began in 2003,? writes Jeff Baker, editor of the Oregonian?s book review. "Biespiel brought a lively, accessible style and a sharp critical take to his column, and he did it in an enthusiastic way that showed his readers that poetry can be a joyful, fulfilling part of their lives." Collected for the first time into a single volume, A Long High Whistle: Selected Columns on Poetry, these enormously popular pieces articulate a profound statement about the mysteries of poetry. Unlike any other book about poetry, A Long High Whistle (Antilever Press) provides anyone, from the lover of literature to the mature writer to the beginning poet to poetry students, with a delightful, provocative exploration about how poets become inspired, how poems are written and then experienced by readers, and how poetry situates itself in American life.

New Developments in Genre/Form Access 9:00am - 4:00pm Adam Schiff, University of Washington; Ann Shaffer, Lori Robare, and Ryan Hildebrand, University of Oregon Genre/form headings describe what an item is, rather than what it is about. The Library of Congress has been removing genre/form headings from LCSH and incorporating them into LC Genre/Form Terms (LCGFT) for several years. Big changes are coming for music and literature in the next year, as genre terms are finalized and LC no longer assigns LCSH form headings in these areas. This preconference will explain what these changes will bring to cataloging: new MARC fields for aspects of LCSH headings that are not genre, and new LC vocabularies for medium of performance and demographic terms.

Indiana Governor Mike Pence recently signed into law the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (Section 1.IC34-13.9 of the Indiana Code) as passed by the Indiana General Assembly. The law is part of a disturbing trend of ?RFRA?s? that many states are passing to guarantee that people and businesses have the right to exercise their constitutional freedom of religion in regard to the services they offer to the public. Unlike many other states, Indiana does not have a non-discrimination law that protects GLBTQ persons and provides an opportunity to legalize intolerance. Following Governor Pence?s request that the General Assembly try to fix the law amidst local and national outcry, American Library Association (ALA) President Courtney Young released the following statement: ?The Religious Freedom Restoration Act contradicts the fundamental values of the ALA and libraries. The ALA deplores and rejects any law that violates the civil liberties of any person. Our association is built around the ALA Code of Ethics and the Library Bill of Rights that reflect this deeply held value. Access to all applies to libraries as well as restaurants, businesses, and associations like ours. ?We reaffirm that is it is the responsibility of library staff everywhere, regardless of the legal ability to refuse service, to offer equal and unfettered access to all users in keeping with the library Bill of Rights and principles of intellectual freedom. ?The Indiana RFRA has understandably triggered deep concern in the ALA community, which is currently scheduled for its 2021 Midwinter Meeting in Indianapolis. Although the law has been denounced by the Mayor of Indianapolis, the Chamber of Commerce, and many businesses, the ALA and key Indiana members continue to monitor the legislative situation. ?ALA?s Task Force on Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion is calling for input from the membership?how can we best engage our host communities when ALA holds its conference in the midst of a local controversy that touches us all? ?The ALA and its members will continue efforts to work towards developing a long-term strategy to encounter the growing trend of RFRA?s, which threaten to undermine civil rights and the fundamental principles upon which libraries are founded.? The American Library Association (ALA), the voice of America?s libraries, is the oldest, largest, and most influential library association in the world. Its approximately 56,000 members are primarily librarians but also trustees, publishers, and other library supporters. The Association represents all types of libraries; its mission is to promote the highest-quality library and information services and public access to information.

Josephy journal articles Message-ID: Dear Librarians, I am new at this game, organizing the library?s books, journals, and papers so that they become ?useful.? To remind, Alvin M. Josephy Jr. was a noted historian of and advocate for American Indians. In our region, his *The Nez Perce Indians and the Opening of the Northwest*, published in 1965, is still the definitive book on the tribe, time, and place. His essay on the ?Great Northwest Fishing War? in *Now That the Buffalo?s Gone* is essential historical background to understanding current salmon issues. Finally, Alvin became the founding board chair of the Smithsonian?s National Museum of the American Indian. Did I mention that Alfred A. Knopf was his uncle? Enough biography. We have organized our holdings of journal and magazine articles written by Josephy. They are all listed on the spread sheet included as an attachment here. Please feel free to distribute as you see fit. By the way, we are especially proud of the interview with President Cardenas and the piece on Leon Trotsky, both written on his 1937 trip to Mexico (when he was 22!) As a bonus, I am attaching the pdf of the full article on the ?Custer Myth,? published in LIfe Magazine in 1971. We do have pdfs of several articles listed on the spread sheet. And we are willing to make copies of other materials when needed. Thank you for your help in distributing this information. I get the occasional call on articles, but as I read and study, I realize how timely much of what he wrote still is, and want to help others find and use it. be well, rich wandschneder, The Josephy Library rich.wandschneider at gmail.com josephylibrary.blogspot.com/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Oh, my! Public libraries have an important opportunity to embed their services and expertise in the statewide effort to improve the literacy levels of young children in Oregon and prepare them to be ready to read and ready to learn. Think about it? what organization in every community is best prepared and most capable of reaching the largest number of children under school age with literacy materials and activities? Libraries! This is your time to shine. Please attend the OLA Conference program detailed below. If your library is already involved in your local early learning hub, please attend and share your success stories. If you are not connected to your early learning hub, please attend to learn how you can partner with other community organizations to assure that all children in your community have access to early literacy materials and activities. Eva Calcagno, Director Washington County Cooperative Library Services (503)846-3233 www.wccls.org Wondering about early learning hubs and why/how public libraries are working with them? Come find out at the OLA Conference 2015! What?s It All About? Libraries, Hubs, and Early Literacy Friday, April 17th from 8:30-10:00am Have you been wondering how the Governor?s education initiatives are affecting libraries? This session will provide an overview of statewide early learning changes. A panel of library and Hub staff will discuss and answer questions about Early Learning Hubs, how those are rolling-out at the local level and how they relate to libraries. Learn about the new connections being made and the creative approaches libraries are taking to work with others agencies in providing improved early learning services. Presented by Katie Anderson, Pooja Bhatt, Brenda Comini, Begona Rodriguez Liern, Stephanie Lind, and Barratt Miller Session materials are now available via NW Central If you plan to attend, you may wish to print copies of the session materials to bring with you.

Message-ID: <79182DEA2A9EBD459F20AD5CB90FEAA5315C96C11D@Exchange.orcity.org> Greetings Conference-Goers: As chair of the Public Library Division, I want to send out a big plug for all things PLD at the annual OLA conference starting next Wednesday: the PLD Banquet on Wednesday night, a bang-up list of PLD-sponsored conference sessions, and the PLD Business Meeting. Conference registration is still open and I know many of you are still figuring out what to attend. Allow me to influence you. 1. PLD Banquet: In the spirit of the conference theme of creativity, we snagged Mark Shapiro from Laika Studios. Recently nominated for an Oscar for Best Animated Feature for The Boxtrolls, Laika is known for its innovation in stop-motion animation in films like 'Coraline'. Mark will be bringing 'show and tell', making this event on Wednesday night, April 15th, 6:00 p.m., a DO NOT MISS event. This is a great way to start off your conference. We will present the OLE Award that evening, which is a ton of fun in itself. There will be oohs, aaahhs, and tears. In other words, the perfect banquet. 2. PLD, with many partners, has put together a great line-up of conference sessions, everything from soup to nuts, or should I say cannabis resources to the Edge Initiative. If that's not enough to grab you...well, I'm just speechless. Let me list them out for you: Thursday 11:00 - 12:30 Open the Doors to Art: Successful Collaborations between Libraries and Arts Organizations Empowering the Patient: Providing Essential Consumer Health Information Thursday 2:00 - 3:30 Create, Collect, Connect Using Mobile Devices Get On Board with the Imagination Library Thursday 4:00 - 5:30 Connect and Create: Using Social Media to Market Your Small and Rural Library The Edge Initiative: Get an Edge on Your Technology Services Against Conventional Wisdom: Lessons from Quiet and Mastering the Art of Quitting Friday 8:30 - 10:00 Print Your Book Cannabis Resources for Librarians Serving Medical Patients and Others What's It All About? Libraries, Hubs, and Early Literacy Friday 11:00 - 12:30 More Than a Bandage: Health Information Resources for Librarians and Educators Working with Children and Teens Developing Digital Literacy: A Flexible Model Designed to Meet Learners' Needs Friday 2:00 - 3:30 Hungry Kids in Oregon Public Libraries 3. And finally, if you made it through all that, I have saved the best for last: ta da! The Business Meeting! Allow us to present our latest suggested update to the Public Library Standards-a section on Ethics. Ethics are good, yes? We thought so too. The PLD Business Meeting will be Thursday, 5:30 p.m. (along with everyone else's, I know, but our business meeting is the best). Please join us for this fantastic smorgasbord of offerings. We look forward to seeing you in Eugene! Best wishes and safe travels!

Hope to see you there! ------------------------------ *Time*: Keynote Address, Thursday 8:30 ? 10:00 a.m. *Title*: *Living at the Edge of Mystery: Creativity, Information & the Experimental Life* *Description*: J. Robert Oppenheimer wrote that ?both the man of science and the man of action live always at the edge of mystery, surrounded by it.? The greatest of our creative institutions have sought to confront the singular mysteries of their time: the fundamental elements of life, the nature of gravity and light, and the atomic structure of matter. Ours is an age of overwhelming information that we seek to transform into comprehensible knowledge. I shall discuss several examples of creative institutions, all of which seek to make sense of the challenges of our age -- the Media Lab at MIT, the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, the Santa Fe Institute in New Mexico, and the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. These all question the boundaries, boxes and constraints we place on thought and seek to render comprehensible our mysterious informational universe. *Speakers*: David Krakauer, Wisconsin Institute for Discovery at the University of Wisconsin-Madison ------------------------------ *Time*: Session 1, Thursday, 11:00am - 12:30pm *Title*: *Creative Marketing of Library Services* *Description*: How do libraries let the public know about their resources and expertise?

Please join Jeremy Graybill and Steve Roskoski as they discuss this important topic. *Speakers*: Jeremy Graybill, Multnomah County Library; Steve Roskoski, Multnomah County Library ------------------------------ *Time*: Session 2, Thursday, 2:00 - 3:30pm *Title*: *BIBFRAME Basics: Beyond MARC* *Description*: BIBFRAME (the Bibliographic Framework Initiative) aims to provide the foundation for the future of bibliographic description on the web and in the networked world. It is intended to replace the MARC Format. This session will provide a basic overview of BIBFRAME, including the BIBFRAME Model and Vocabulary, the general differences between BIBFRAME and MARC, and the changes ahead for catalogers. The session will also included information about how some libraries are experimenting with and learning about BIBFRAME. *Speakers*: Kelley McGrath, University of Oregon, Sandy Macke, Multnomah County Libary, Adam Schiff, University of Washington ------------------------------ *Time*: Session 4, Friday, 8:30 - 10:00 a.m. *Title*:* OLA: Cultivating Creative Members* *Description*: Are you looking for a creative way to make a difference in OLA? In a panel format past and present OLA leaders will define and describe what they really do. The OLA Association Manager will explain support provided. Official responsibilities, unstated expectations, and actual time commitments will be acknowledged. The ultimate questions: ?Why be involved? and ?How to cope with being involved? will be answered. Audience members will have a chance to learn more about OLA Round Tables via a ?speed dating? format. *Speakers*: Connie Anderson-Cohoon, Southern Oregon University; Penny Hummel, Penny Hummel Consulting; Heather McNeil, Deschutes Public Library; Hannah Rempel, Oregon State University, Shirley Roberts, Eastern Oregon University and OLA Association Manager; Elvira Sanchez-Kisser, Woodburn Public Library ------------------------------ Be sure to check out all the programs online at the OLA 2015 Conference Schedule page .

Now, they have a new title of ?Movers and Shakers.? On March 16, 2015, Library Journal announced the 50 individuals and one organization that make up the inspiring class of Movers and Shakers 2015, ?the people shaping the future of libraries.? This year?s Movers and Shakers categories included change agents, innovators, educators, digital developers, community builders, and advocates, the category for both Sweeney (MLIS 2007) and Sullivan (MLIS 1995). According to Library Journal, Movers and Shakers are chosen for their passion, vision, and mission. Library advocates Sweeney and Sullivan both embody all three qualities. Sweeney?s work has taken many forms, but his efforts to help increase library funding through political advocacy has been a game-changer for many libraries. Sullivan is the co-chair of Children in Crisis, a REFORMA (National Association to Promote Library and Information Services to Latinos) project designed to bring books and backpacks to refugee children in U.S. detention centers.

We won?t have a better chance than this for years. The Senate HELP Committee will begin voting on the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) on Tuesday, April 14 at 10 am. School libraries are NOT already included in that bill, so we need to pass an amendment to fix that. Even our paltry Innovative Approaches to Literacy (IAL) funding has been cut. Senator Whitehouse (D-RI) has agreed to offer an amendment calling for an effective school library program to be part of the bill?..but he needs at least 13 votes to prevail in the Committee. Your Senator is on that Committee and we badly need them to be one of those 13. Unless you ask Your Senator for their vote, we won?t get it and NOW is the time?. Call your Senator right now. Ask whoever answers for the ?education staffer.? Tell them, or their voice mail if necessary, how important school librarians are to students? education and that the Senator needs to tell Senator Whitehouse NOW that they will support his ?school library amendment? to ESEA. PLEASE CALL NOW and get anybody else who cares about school libraries or education in your state to call as well.

The agenda and supplementary materials for the board meeting are available at http://www.olaweb.org/executive-board-meetings *Important note!* We will be opening a 25-year-old time capsule to celebrate OLA's 75th anniversary at this meeting. Hooray! All, of course, are welcome to join us. Really...I'm serious...the more, the merrier! We'll open the time capsule at about 4:30 p.m. so come on in, grab a seat, and witness history unfold! Don't worry, though, if you can't make it, I'll fill you in throughout the conference on the treasures that awaited us inside! We'll also be creating a brand new time capsule that will be sealed up later this year, hidden in the State Library, and opened 25 years from now on OLA's 100th Anniversary. There was a recent call for contributions on Libs-Or for the new time capsule. Listen for continued updates and information on this throughout the conference. Looking forward to seeing you in Eugene next week! -- Candice Watkins Oregon Library Association President, 2014-2015 Library Director Clatsop Community College (503) 338-2460 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: Did you know Oregon covers over 98,000 square miles? We can fit all kinds of countries inside our borders! But that also means our OLA members can be very spread out from each other and traveling can be difficult. So this year at #ORLib15 we're testing a virtual stream of two conference sessions. Since this is in a very rough pilot phase... 1. It's free! 2. It's limited to the first 25 people who log in for the sessions. 3. There might be hiccups. Watch our twitter page for updates as the time gets closer. The sessions being streamed are: Thursday April 16th, 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm *Lynn Dierking: Free-Choice Learning and Rural Libraries* Thursday April 16th, 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm *Katie Anderson: Reimagining Ready to Read Road Show* Join us virtually on Thursday for these two great sessions at the 2015 OLA Conference -- we'll "see" you then!

According to The State of America?s Libraries Report 2015 released April 13 by the American Library Association (ALA), academic, public and school libraries are experiencing a shift in how they are perceived by their communities and society. No longer just places for books, libraries of all types are viewed as community anchors, centers for academic life and research, and cherished spaces. This and other library trends of the past year are detailed in ALA?s State of America?s Libraries Report 2015, made available during National Library Week, April 12?18, both as an American Libraries digital supplement, as well as on the ALA website at ala.org/americas-libraries and as a PDF file.

Come play with us @ Storytime Share! Message-ID: *Please pardon cross-posting. * We?re all getting ready for the OLA Conference this week and I know there are lots of sessions to choose from. *We wanted to call special attention to our CSD-Sponsored ?Storytime Share? session on Thursday morning. This session is a little different. Here?s what you can expect: * ? A fun introduction to our different types of storytimes with the whole group: Baby/Lapsit, Sensory, PreSchool, and Gradeschool/Outreach storytimes. ? After the introduction and initial chatting, we are breaking into four different groups. Each presenter will be focused on a different type of storytime. ? You may choose one breakout group for focus, or move freely between multiple breakout groups. Note: Information will not be repeated but there will be materials to take home. ? These breakout groups are modeled after the ?Guerilla Storytime? idea. While your presenters are prepared to talk your ear off, share songs, stories, methods, etc. we really want to encourage group conversation, brainstorming, and sharing. The more heads are together, the more we all learn. A presenter may not know the answer to one of your questions, but I bet a fellow attendee does! ? Before the end of the session, we?ll all come back together for a group share. You?ll have a nice pack of resources to take home and hopefully a brain full of new ideas, materials, and strategies to use in your next storytime. You may have noticed we don?t have an ?all ages storytime? listen in our breakout sessions. Never fear! Each of the four presenters is prepared to address family storytime/wide age range questions within their individual sessions. Do you have questions about the session? Are there burning questions you want to be sure we address in our breakout groups? Email Taylor Worley at tworley at springfield-or.gov before Wednesday at 5:00pm and she?ll be sure your questions have at least one answer on Thursday. *JOIN US! Thursday morning at 11:00AM for the The More We Get Together: A Storytime Share session at OLA: Libraries Cultivating Creativity. * Taylor Worley (on behalf of Emily David, Debby Laimon, and Barratt Miller) Youth Services Librarian Springfield Public Library 225 5th Street Springfield, Oregon 97477 541.726.2243 *?Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.? * ?

[cid:image004.jpg at 01D078F2.FBB86990] Katie Anderson (third from left) accepts the 2015 Lampman Award on April 17, 2015, with previous Lampman Award winners BJ Toewe, Carol Reich, and MaryKay Dahlgreen. The Children's Services Division of the Oregon Library Association (OLA) has selected Katie Anderson to receive the 2015 Evelyn Sibley Lampman Award. Anderson is the Youth Services Consultant at the Oregon State Library. The award, given out annually by the Children's Services Division of OLA, is named for Evelyn Sibley Lampman (1907-1980), noted Oregon teacher, journalist, and author of children's books. The award was established in 1982 to honor an Oregon author, librarian, or educator who has made a significant contribution to Oregon in the fields of children's literature and library services. Katie Anderson began her work as the Youth Services Consultant at the Oregon State Library in June of 2006. Her enthusiasm, energy, and imagination, along with nine years of experience, have contributed to her status as a librarian who has made a significant contribution to library services for children in Oregon. Her accomplishments include her work with the Commission on Children and Families, with funding from the Oregon Community Foundation and the Paul G. Allen Foundation, to bring "Every Child Ready to Read at Your Library" training to all corners of the Oregon. She was instrumental in securing the funding and worked tirelessly with the project manager to assure an excellent learning experience for all involved. Anderson has also become an integral member of the youth-serving divisions of the Oregon Library Association. Her participation in the Collaborative Summer Library Program goes above and beyond representing Oregon. She has persisted in speaking up at meetings to encourage changes that affect every child who participates in summer reading. "Her tenacity in attending meetings and gatherings that might yield a valuable partnership is legendary," says State Librarian MaryKay Dahlgreen, who nominated Anderson for this award. "Katie is deeply committed to excellent library service for children and their caregivers and is an excellent spokesperson for that in all corners of our state." -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

ISBN: 978-0-8389-1300-0 Description "In the almost 15 years since Our Enduring Values was published, there has been a sea change in the way much of the world thinks about and uses libraries. Young librarians and seasoned LIS professionals alike are experiencing increasing pressure to adjust to new economic, societal, and technological demands amidst the often-dire rhetoric currently surrounding the future of our institutions. In this stirring manifesto, public intellectual, librarian, and philosopher Gorman addresses head on the "existential panic" among library professionals caused by the radical shift in how libraries are viewed."

Today, a broad coalition of library associations, which includes the American Library Association (ALA), calls upon libraries to act to convert this policy win in Washington to real benefit for America?s communities. The organizations released a letter (pdf) today updating library leaders on the next phase of E-rate advocacy. Library coalition members include the American Indian Library Association; the American Library Association; the Association for Rural & Small Libraries; the Association of Tribal Archives, Libraries, and Museums; the Chief Officers of State Library Agencies; the Public Library Association; and the Urban Libraries Council. Now that the 2015 E-rate application window is closed, the library organizations encourage libraries to revisit their plans for 2016 and beyond with the new opportunities in mind. ?Our associations came together during the E-rate modernization proceeding at the Federal Communications Commission to provide a library voice to ensure libraries across the country?tribal, rural, suburban, and urban?have access to affordable high-capacity broadband to the building and robust Wi-Fi within the building,? coalition partners wrote in a letter (pdf) to library leaders. ?The Commission opened a door for libraries, and it is in our collective best interest to walk through it and demonstrate the positive impact of the additional $1.5 billion in funding and the opportunity provided by the changes.? ?The additional $1.5. billion in funding translates to hundreds of millions for libraries each year,? said Courtney Young, president of the American Library Association. ?The library community worked diligently and collaboratively for nearly two years to advocate on behalf of libraries across the country in connection with the FCC?s E-rate proceeding?but our work is not finished. We must look forward and think of new ways that E-rate can be used to support our broadband network and connectivity goals.? Library leaders are encouraged to share details with their library associations on their experiences applying for and receiving E-rate funds. Send your comments to Marijke Visser, associate director of the American Library Association?s Office for Information Technology Policy, at mvisser[at]alawash[dot]org.

Additionally, follow E-rate news on the District Dispatch. *About the American Library Association* The American Library Association is the oldest and largest library association in the world, with approximately 55,000 members in academic, public, school, government, and special libraries. The mission of the American Library Association is to provide leadership for the development, promotion and improvement of library and information services and the profession of librarianship in order to enhance learning and ensure access to information for all. -- Suzanne L.

The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) today announced a new grant program, called ?Common Heritage,? that will bring to light historical records and artifacts currently hidden in family attics and basements across the country and make them digitally available to the wider public and for posterity. NEH invites historical societies, libraries, archives, museums, colleges and other local institutions to apply for the Common Heritage grant program, the first federal grant program of its kind. Grants will support day-long events, organized by community cultural institutions, in which members of the public will be invited to share materials important to their family or community histories, such as photographs, artifacts, family letters, and works of art. These items will be digitized, along with descriptive information and context provided by the community attendees. With the owner?s permission, the digitized materials will be made publicly available through the institution?s online collections. Contributors will receive a free digital copy of their items to take home, along with the original materials. These materials will also be used for public programming ? including lectures, exhibits, discussion programs, and film screenings ? that celebrates and expands knowledge of the community?s past and the diverse histories of its members. ?We know that America?s cultural heritage isn?t found only in libraries and museums,? said NEH Chairman William Adams, ?but in our homes, in our family histories, and the stories and objects we pass down to our children. NEH?s new Common Heritage grant program aims to capture this vitally important part of our country?s heritage and preserve it for future generations.? Application guidelines and a list of FAQs for the Common Heritage program are available at www.neh.gov . The application deadline for the initial cycle of Common Heritage grants is June 25, 2015. The first round of Common Heritage digitization days is expected to take place in early 2016. The new Common Heritage grant program is part of the National Endowment for the Humanities? agency-wide initiative The Common Good: The Humanities in the Public Square , which seeks to demonstrate and enhance the role and significance of the humanities and humanities scholarship in public life. NEH?s Common Heritage program will award grants of up to $12,000 to community cultural organizations to coordinate community events and ensure that a wide range of historical materials can be digitized and contextualized through public programming. NEH program staff from the Divisions of Preservation & Access and Public Programs will conduct a webinar for interested applicants on Tuesday, May 5 at 4 PM (EST). NEH Common Heritage grants webinar information: May 5, 4-4:30 PM (EST) https://global.gotomeeting.com/join/232247517 Access code: 232-247-517 You can also dial in by phone at: (872) 240-3312 #nehcommonheritage National Endowment for the Humanities: Created in 1965 as an independent federal agency, the National Endowment for the Humanities supports research and learning in history, literature, philosophy, and other areas of the humanities by funding selected, peer-reviewed proposals from around the nation.

Something as small as rearranging a few chairs and tables can lead to strained interactions if change is not communicated well. What about the larger changes? The tools and processes for communicating change are similar whether the change is minuscule or enormous. Whether you are dealing with customers who have a hard time adjusting to changes in their environment (e.g. rearranged furniture) or staff who are trying to maintain high levels of service in the midst of major changes (e.g. moving to a new building), good communication is imperative at every level of the library. The communication processes, knowledge, and tools presented enable participants to do the following: ? Identify and articulate the main issues that arise when change is not communicated well ? Identify and repair communication issues with colleagues ? Identify and repair communication issues with customers ? Improve in their ability to manage customer expectations ? Create a basic communication plan ? Select appropriate free and low-cost communication tools Presented by Leslie Boyter, Essential Explorations. Light refreshments will be provided, but there is NO lunch included in this 1/2 day workshop.

Also, privacy questions. Message-ID: <553910DB020000240003DDD9@ncs-do.lincolncity.org> Hi all, I've got a question for the hive mind. We have always required a parental signature for all library cards to individuals under 18. The reasoning has always been that individuals under 18 are minors and thus their parents can be held responsible for items that they check out. Of course, this causes problems for us when it comes to getting older teens signed up for cards, and I'm wondering if we're being unnecessarily draconian about it. At what age do you allow a patron to obtain a card without a parent/guardian signature? Relatedly, do you have a set age at which you no longer provide parents with information about what their child has checked out from the library? At my current library, the policy has been that the parent/guardian who signed off on the card has access to the account, but I've never been 100% comfortable with this as a best practice for older teens. On the other hand, if the parent is ultimately responsible for the materials checked out on the card, then it makes sense that they would have access... At a previous library I worked at, we would not release account information for any child older than twelve, but this created a lot of customer service issues with parents who just wanted to get their kid's card back in good standing. I'm hoping to hear some good thoughts from you!

The State Librarian has tracked the number of full-time equivalent (FTE) licensed school librarians employed in Oregon public schools since the 1980-81 school year. Recently we also started tracking the number of FTE school library support staff. For figures and a chart related to the 33-year span, see the attached PDF. Here is brief snapshot: School Year No. of Schools Library Support Staff (FTE) Licensed Librarians (FTE) No. of Students Per Licensed Librarian 1980-81 1,284 n/a 818 547 2011-12 1,253 697 203 2,763 2012-13 1,246 681 144 3,915 2013-14 1,239 688 129 4,396 Percent Change from 1980 to 2013 - 84.23% +703.66% The data comes from the Oregon Department of Education (ODE). As of the last few years, some of the figures were pulled from the Oregon Statewide Annual Report Card. Note that the staffing chart on PDF page 8 of the 2013-14 report card, and for some previous years, combines figures for school library licensed and support staff. When we pointed out that this could be confusing since there is a separate row for general support staff, ODE added a note to the bottom of the chart. ODE staff supplied me with the separate figures for licensed versus support staff. This information could be helpful for anyone involved in school library advocacy efforts. For a spot of good news, I?m hearing increased reports about school districts hiring library staff, including licensed librarians. Questions? Please ask.

Currently we proctors exams for a wide range of students: local and online community colleges and universities, high schools, certificate programs, etc. While this is a popular service it has become increasingly time consuming on our already limited staff. For example, after agreeing to proctor we print out exam login/password info, file it under students name, administer the exam, and then sometimes have to fax/scan/mail the completed exam back to the school or login to a proctor account and enter a score. Students have to pay for any printing and they must bring their own postage but are not required to hold a current library card from our library. Many of the students would be eligible to receive a card through the Passport program, so forcing students to get a library card seems like another hoop to jump through which would not generate any library revenue. It feels like a valuable service for the library to offer but it is also taking a lot of time (especially during mid-terms and finals) and creates a significant workload for staff. We've considered charging a flat rate for each test proctored ($5?). I'm interested in hearing how other libraries handle test proctoring. Any ideas/suggestions are appreciated!

Since we use a collection agency for accounts that exceed a certain amount, we do require a parent's signature and educate both parent and teen on their responsibilities. If a parent wants access to their child's card, we can't prevent them from knowing the number and pin and logging into the account from home. That is between the parent and child. We don't give out information about an account to anyone that does not have the card in hand or ID that they are the card holder and that goes for the Teen's account as well. The parent would have to have the card to inquire. But if an item gets lost or lots of fines accrue on the account, then the parent can inquire about charges. We tell teens if they want to keep their reading history private, to return items on time and pay fines promptly. Teens can also reset their PIN to control online access to their account.

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. Choose Privacy Week - May 1 - 7. Privacy is an essential foundation for the freedom to read and receive ideas. When a reader isn't sure that his or her reading habits are private, inevitably the reader limits what he or she reads to that which is mainstream and inoffensive in order to avoid investigation, criticism or reprisals. During Choose Privacy Week the American Library Association invites librarians and library users to engage in a conversation about protecting and defending reader privacy rights and how to acquire the knowledge, skills and tools necessary to address the widespread surveillance and data mining that collects information about users' communications, reading and Web surfing habits. www.chooseprivacyweek.org The OLA IFC urges Oregon libraries to take part in this conversation. Here are some ideas. * Sponsor a program. It may be too late for this year so begin to plan one for next year. * If you live in the Portland metropolitan area join the conversation by attending Multnomah County's program Is Privacy an Option, featuring Mark Alfino, professor of Philosophy at Gonzaga University. Saturday, May 2 U.S. Bank Room - Central Library. https://multcolib.org/events/privacy-option/43326 * Participate in a weeklong forum organized by the ALA IFC Privacy Subcommittee. It will feature daily posts to the CPW blog at https://chooseprivacyweek.org/blog/ on the following topics: * May 1: Who Reads the Reader, which is the theme of year's CPW by Michael Robinson. Michael is chair of the Privacy Subcommittee and associate professor, Consortium Library, University of Alaska Anchorage and chair of the Alaska Library Association's IFC. * May 2: The Poacher and the Five Blind Librarians, by Eric Hellman. Eric is a technologist, entrepreneur and writer who blogs at http://go-to-hellman.blogspot.com/, where he publishes his own research on how well vendors follow privacy practices. * May 3: Passwords: Alison's Personal Password Strategy by Alison Macrina. Alison is the founder and director of the Library Freedom Project, an initiative that trains librarians on the state of global surveillance, privacy rights, and privacy-protecting technology. * May 4: Online Catalogs, Discovery Services, and Patron Privacy by Marshall Breeding. Marshall is an independent consultant focusing on the strategic use of technology in libraries and related organizations. He is the creator of Library Technology Guides and the editor of Smart Libraries Newsletter published by ALA TechSource * May 5: What You Should Know About "Anonymous" Aggregated Data About You by Gretchen McCord. Gretchen, formerly a practicing academic librarian, is an attorney specializing in privacy and copyright law. * May 6: The NISO Patron Privacy Project: Developing a Framework to Support Patron Privacy in Digital Library and Information Systems by Michael Zimmer. Michael is a privacy and Internet ethics scholar who is an associate professor in the School of Information Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and director of its Center for Information Policy Research. * May 7: Creating a Digital Privacy Literacy Game to Create Safe and Secure Online Personas by Erin Berman and Jon Worona.

Can't make it to visit Salem? Call or Email your legislators and let them know what we care about . The talking points and issue briefs posted to the Library Development and Legislation Committee's web page are available for you to help frame your conversation. Below are some email templates you could consider using if you'd like to email your legislators. TEMPLATE for State Representative Dear Representative ________, My name is ______ and as one of your constituents and as a member of the Oregon Library Association and as a librarian at __________________ I am asking for your support of libraries. There are three bills to which we'd like to call your attention: *HB 2479, Reading for Success; HB 2650, Summer Lunch, Learn, Libraries*; and *HB 3523, Reorganizing the State Library's Mission and Governance.* *HB 2479: Reading for Success* This bill: - Changes the names of Ready to Read to Reading for Success; - Expands the ages covered from 0-14 to 0-17; - Increases the minimum grant size to $1200 from $1000. - Includes funding for the increases - $140,000 for the biennium. The current Ready to Read Grant program is proven successful, with over 200,000 children participating in Summer Reading Programs in 2014 and with increased program attendance. In 2014, 21,000,000 items were checked out by participating children! Last year all 131 eligible public libraries applied for and received grants. This year we are asking for your support to: - Increase funding to $1 per child. In 2014 funding was at $0.94 per child. *HB 2650: Summer Lunch, Learn, Libraries* Although I support the concept of integrating summer reading programs at schools with summer lunch programs as introduced by this bill, it needs more work. Summer reading helps stave off student achievement losses over summer. I am asking you to consider: - Summer school-based programs should have *certified librarians* to guide children in their use of school library materials; and - Other models exist for partnering summer reading with summer lunch programs. *HB 3523: Reorganizing the State Library's Mission and Governance* This bill incorporates some of the recommendations formulated by the working group, convened in 2011, to describe how the State Library, State Law Library, and State Archives could collaborate more effectively. I support the bill as amended. The bill: - Provides for OLA (Oregon Library Association) involvement in recommending board members; - Acknowledges that collaboration is critical among the State Library, the State Law Library, and State Archives, as each has unique resources and services; and - Maintains the core mission of the State Library while addressing contemporary needs. Thank you for your time and your support of Oregon's libraries. Regards, YOUR NAME HERE Template for State Senators Dear Senator________, My name is ______ and as one of your constituents and as a member of the Oregon Library Association and a Librarian at _______________ I am asking for your support of libraries. There are two bills to which we'd like to draw your attention:* SB 5519, **Relating to the financial administration of the State Library; *and *SB 84, Standards for Accelerated College Credit Programs for High School Students*. *SB 5519: Relating to the financial administration of the State Library* This bill is the State Library's budget that includes the *Ready to Read Program*. The current Ready to Read Grant program is proven successful, with over 200,000 children participating in Summer Reading Programs in 2014 and with increased program attendance. In 2014, 21,000,000 items were checked out by participating children! Last year all 131 eligible public libraries applied for and received grants. This year we are asking for your support to: - Increase funding to $1 per child. In 2014 funding was at $0.94 per child. *SB 84: Standards for Accelerated College Credit Programs for High School Students* Although this bill will not move forward this session, please know that OLA supports adding a standard that requires every high school with students enrolled in an accelerated college credit program to maintain a school library staffed with a certified teacher librarian and providing access to relevant and adequate information resources. We support this because: - High school students taking college credit need to use more sophisticated information resources. - School libraries with certified teacher librarians are key to students' educational successes. - Oregon's K-12 schools have lost many of their teacher librarians over the past 20 years. Thank you for your time and your support of Oregon's libraries. Regards, YOUR NAME HERE -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Nobody showed up at the other sites as they were businesses that were available after their work hours (5 pm) and by then it is starting to cool off outside and so unlike a warming shelter where people need to sleep and stay all night, the cooling shelter is more a daytime thing. We don?t do anything different other than be open as we figure people already are using us for that purpose. I would consider in a hotter climate partnering with the homeless shelter that kicks people out at 8 am every morning to get the word out and to also work with any apartment complexes for the elderly that don?t have air conditioning to at least get the notice out. We will lots of times put on our reader board, that it is cool inside. Leah ****************************** Leah M.

They publicize libraries as the place to go with their clients, and it is noted in newspapers and other public places. In case of a real heat wave, they have sometimes contacted us just to check in, and make sure that if it gets very serious, they can bring in water, and take other measures to support the library's role of providing space. It's never come to that, as far as I know, but it's good to have the relationship in place. And like Salem, we've never agreed to be open beyond our usual hours. The experts in Aging and Disabilites have said that, even if people are not sheltered there all day and night, it is still very useful to for the health and safety of individuals to have a few hours out of the heat during regular business hours. I recommend this kind of partnership - they are the experts and we have the space, and it's easy to come to agreement about what each will offer.

The press release is below and photos from the award session and more comments from Katie's nominators are also available on the CSD website at http://www.csdola.org/lampman-award.html. I would very much like to thank this year's Lampman Committee for their input and participation: past CSD Chair Korie Buerkle, Newberg; Julie Handyside, Cedar Mill - Bethany; Josie Hanneman, Deschutes Public; Becky Pearson, 2014 Lampman Chair, McMinnville; Nancy Spaulding, Cedar Mill Community Library; Mary Parra, Nellie Muir Elementary, Woodburn; Esther Moberg, Seaside Public; and Suzy Goolsby, retired. If you are interested on serving on the Lampman Committee, please contact me or the CSD Chair any time between now and September. It's a rewarding experience. And many congratulations to Katie! Oregon State Library Press Release "Katie began her work as the Youth Services Consultant at the Oregon State Library in June of 2006. She did not have years of experience as a youth services librarian but she did have enthusiasm, energy, and imagination. Those three traits, along with the experience she has gained over the last nine years, have contributed to her status as a librarian who has made a significant contribution to library services for children in Oregon. >From her first days at the State Library, she has demonstrated a commitment to children and to libraries that certainly goes above and beyond the responsibilities of her job. Her tenacity in attending meetings and gatherings that might yield a valuable partnership is legendary, as is her ability to communicate important information to library staff in Oregon that can then be used to improve library services at the local level. Her most impressive accomplishments, in a long list of accomplishments, include her work with the Commission on Children and Families, with funding from the Oregon Community Foundation and the Paul G. Allen Foundation, to bring "Every Child Ready to Read at Your Library" training to all corners of the Oregon. She was instrumental in securing the funding and worked tirelessly with the project manager to assure an excellent learning experience for all involved. She has also become an integral member of the youth serving divisions of the Oregon Library Association. Her participation in the Collaborative Summer Library Program goes above and beyond representing Oregon. She has persisted in speaking up at meetings to encourage changes that affect every child who participates in summer reading. Katie is deeply committed to excellent library service for children and their caregivers and is an excellent spokesperson for that in all corners of our state." - MaryKay Dahlgreen, State Librarian Carol Reich | Reader Services Manager | 2015 Lampman Chair City of Hillsboro, Oregon | Hillsboro Public Library phone 503-615-6514 | web www.hillsboro-oregon.gov/Library Follow us on Twitter @HillsboroLib and Facebook Member of Washington County Cooperative Library Services (WCCLS) | http://www.wccls.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
