Return to top of page State Library News Report from Northwest Digital Collections Summit and Email List Now Available The Oregon State Library and the Washington State Library hosted a meeting to discuss digitization, digital projects and opportunities for collaboration on March 20, 2015 in Salem. Fifty participants listened to reports from various collaborative projects, including the Digital Public Library of America, Washington Rural Heritage, Oregon Digital and Historic Oregon Newspapers, University of Washington Digital Collections and King County Collects, Northwest Digital Archives/Archives West, Orbis Cascade Alliance's Content Creation & Dissemination Team, Washington County Heritage Online, and Southern Oregon Digital Archives. Participants then broke into groups to discuss topics including: * Outreach & Communication * Leadership & Collaboration * Training Opportunities & Needs * Digitization Priorities * Funding Sources & Needs * Providing Content and Services * Standards & Best Practices The final report, along with recommendations for next steps, is now available. One of the recommendations from the report was to start an email list to share information among those interested in digital collections in the Northwest. This list, NW Digital Projects, is open and un-moderated. Subscribers are encouraged to share information about projects, resources, training opportunities, and best practices. If you have any comments or questions about the report or email list, please direct them to Arlene Weible, Electronic Services Consultant, 503-378-5020. Research In Context: Is This New Gale Database on Your Library Database Web Page? [Research]Gale released a new middle school product for students in grades 6-8, and per earlier announcements, Oregon switched over on July 1st. Research In Context (RIC) brings together content from and replaces the following databases: InfoTrac Junior, Discovering Collection, Junior Reference Collection, and Student Resource Center Junior. (The latter is different from Student Resources In Context, which is not changing). To add a link and the icon to your library's database page, visit the Oregon Statewide Databases Library Support Portal. Research In Context features a modern interface and tool set consistent with Gale's In Context products. Content is cross-disciplinary, focusing on core curriculum areas of literature, science, and U.S. and world history. The interface is very similar to that of the other In Context products - like Opposing Viewpoints, Students Resources In Context, and U.S. History In Context - with a few intentional but minor differences. Read more about the database on the Research In Context product page, and explore the brief video tutorials for a quick overview. Sometime this month, you should see RIC sessions on the national webinar calendar. After Gale hosts a few RIC webinars, they will post one on the recorded webinars page. Free promotional posters, bookmarks, and tent cards should be available on the Gale Promo site by the fall. The shared login is gale690228 (username) and 690228 (password). Questions? Please contact Arlene Weible, Electronic Services Consultant at the Oregon State Library. State Library Welcomes Claire Bolyard [CB]Claire Bolyard is the newest member of Government Information and Library Services. She joined the Government Services Division in June as Web Services and Digital Initiatives Librarian. Claire comes to the Oregon State Library after providing temporary support for a digital collections project with the State of Oregon Law Library. Before moving to Oregon she worked at the Main Library Reference Desk for the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana, where in addition to providing reference service she also created and maintained online resources. Claire's first library job was at Saint Louis University where she primarily digitized rare and special collections and managed social media for the Digitization Center. Currently she lives in Portland with her cat Pants and dog Rosie. Statewide Database Licensing Program Supports Oregon Academic Libraries In the upcoming fiscal year, the Oregon State Library will again provide financial support to Oregon academic libraries who participate in the Orbis Cascade Alliance group subscription to Ebsco's Academic Search Premier database package. Support will also be provided to libraries subscribing to Proquest Central through the Alliance. Current participants in the Statewide Database Licensing Program that were not already participants in the Alliance subscriptions were contacted about the opportunity to join and two additional libraries were added to the group subscription. With a contribution of $50,000 from OSL, the subscription costs for all of the participating libraries will be lowered by 7.75% per library in the upcoming year. If you have questions about this initiative, please contact Arlene Weible, Electronic Services Consultant. Gale Business Databases to Merge: Business Collection Coming Soon! [Business]On August 7, Gale will be re-branding several of their business periodical databases into a new consolidated resource called Business Collection. This means that two of the databases available in the Oregon statewide contract, General BusinessFile and Business Index ASAP, will be replaced with this single new database. Please note that Business Insights: Global will remain its own separate database and will not be merged. A title list for Business Collection is available. The new URL and icon will be available on the Oregon Statewide Databases Library Support Portal soon. Also, look for an announcement about upcoming webinars introducing this new database. Questions? Please contact Arlene Weible, 503-378-5020 Historic Oregon Motor Vehicle Records Digitized [Reg]There have been cars in Oregon since long before there was a Department of Motor Vehicles. For years, the tasks for keeping track of automobile license plate fell to the Secretary of State's office. From 1911 through 1946 (with some missed years during the Depression and World War II), the Secretary of State published lists of Oregon license plates. The State Library has what we believe is a complete collection of these books. The information in the books varies somewhat by era, but all include the license plate number and the name and address of the owner of the vehicle. Most also include the make and model of vehicle. They also contain a list of chauffeurs' licenses, along with the name and address of the licensee. An added feature in some is a list of traffic infractions, which lists the name and address of the person committing the infraction, along with how much they had to pay. [MV]In 2010, the State Library and Ancestry.com started a cooperative project to scan rare or unique items in the OSL collection that have genealogical value. The motor vehicle registration books were among the items scanned. Because of the age, varieties and quality of paper used, and wear, this collection posed some scanning challenges. >From the Ancestry database, click on the "Search" feature (located in the top banner). When the map of the states appears, click on Oregon to access the list of Oregon Data Collections. Scroll down to the heading "Oregon Tax, Criminal, Land & Wills". The Motor Vehicle records will be first in the list. Portland's Literary Arts: The Archive Project Compiled into an Audio Book Since 1984, Portland Arts & Lectures has been bringing the world's most celebrated writers, artists, and thinkers to our community. As part of Literary Arts programming, this lecture series has grown from a humble basement gathering in the Portland Arts Museum to sold-out shows at the Arlene Schnitzer concert hall. In conjunction with their 30-year milestone anniversary, Oregon Public Broadcasting is partnering with Literary Arts to present The Archive Project: a retrospective of some of the most engaging talks from the world's best writers over the first 30 years of Literary Arts in Portland. Every Wednesday since October 15, 2014 at 9PM OPB has been live broadcasting the most sought-after Portland Arts & Lectures discussions. With the gracious permission of OPB and Literary Arts, Talking Books has compiled the first 30 lectures of The Archive Project into a three part audio book series. Each part contains 10 lectures, with writers such as Bill Bryson, Ursula K. Le Guin, Joyce Carol Oates, Abraham Verghese, Mitchell S. Jackson, and Ruth Ozeki. As more lectures are broadcast Talking Books will add more books to the series. Registered Talking Books users can request individual books (DBX 1273, 1274, and 1275) or the whole series by contacting Talking Books at 800-452-0292 or talkingbooks.info at state.or.us.

If considering this offer, you may want to look at the Association of Bookmobile & Outreach Services Guidelines of Bookmobiles. My father lived near Coquille, he died a couple of years ago and I wound up with his 1988 Eagle bus, picture attached. He intended to convert it to a motor home, then got sick and didn't. The engine was rebuilt only 500 miles ago, the transmission works fine, no apparent rust. Just needs a lot of cleaning. It's now parked at Arctic Brothers in Coos Bay, Oregon. A big old bus is a hard puppy to sell, especially since it's in Coos Bay and I'm in Colorado. I write books, my father loved books and I had the weird idea that maybe someone could convert his bus into a bookmobile. Please contact me at wordguise at aol.com to discuss cost?I?m willing to make a deal! My wife and I intend to move to Oregon (probably Salem) in the next few months to be closer to our sons. It would be cool if we could go visit my father's bus every now and then, maybe check out a book. Thanks. Kenn Amdahl wordguise at aol.com ........................................................

As these concerns are legal and personnel related, there is no additional information that I can provide (and I really don't know any more than what has appeared in the media). The only thing that I can say is the university is working through its policies and procedures and will take appropriate action when the investigation is concluded. Some have asked how this might impact the ALA accreditation process for SLIM, which is coming up in the fall. First, it should be noted that the renewal for accreditation is something that happens to each library school every 7 years, and SLIM has been preparing for their accreditation visit for the past year. Second, a school does not lose its accreditation outright. If ALA finds problems, then the school's accreditation becomes "conditional", with specific comments about what needs to be fixed. While a school is on conditional status (usually 2-3 years), the degree is still considered accredited. If anyone has questions or comments, they are welcome to contact Gwendolynne Larson, Assistant Director, Marketing & Media Relations at ESU - 620-341-5528; 620-340-7544 cell; or glarson1 at emporia.edu .

Message-ID: <43000B7A27E52A44BDFFEF721117CE230290B98F@CCMAIL2010.cc1.com> Hi all: This summer, Crook County Library and Driftwood Public Library each acquired cardboard superhero cutouts for our Summer Reading promotions. Crook got a Batman and Driftwood got Superman, so it was only a matter of time before we (meaning myself and Mackie Welch at Driftwood) pitted them in an epic deathmatch for superhero supremacy... I mean, costume contest. Each week in July, Batman and Superman wore a new costume. Photos of the costumes were posted to each library's respective Facebook page every Thursday. We sprinkled in some other plot elements throughout the month - Batman kidnapped Lois Lane, Superman kidnapped Robin, Spider-Man told them to cut it out - to encourage people to keep checking in. The link to vote is below. The polls close Thursday (8/6) at 6 PM. Vote vote vote!

ISBN: 978-0-8389-1308-6 Description This new edition (last published in 2010) provides guidance for applying a customer-centered approach to service quality and performance evaluation. This extensively updated edition explores the ways technology influences both the experiences of library customers and the ways libraries themselves can assess those experiences. Table of Contents A detailed table of contents is available on the LIS Collection blog: http://osl-lis.blogspot.com/2015/08/assessing-service-quality-satisfying.html If you would like to request this or other materials from the Oregon State Library please use your library's established interlibrary loan process (e.g. OCLC or ALA request form). Otherwise, send your full name, the name of your library, complete title information, shipping address, and a phone number to the document delivery department at library.request at state.or.us or (fax) 503-588-7119.

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

We have a group with YA/Teen items, some with children's items, and some with adult items. We have about 470+ items on the adult Kindles. Many are 'bestsellers,' but we offer an idiosyncratic mix that includes classics, some books only available in ebook format, and items in response to patron requests. We just (yesterday!) extended our loan period for Kindles from 2 to 4 weeks. We do not allow renewals at this point. We've had no problems, and we're very happy with the program.

Here's our website for them, if you're interested: http://library.oregonstate.edu/kindles. Five of the Kindles are the new Kindle Voyage - we upgraded less than 2 months ago after having the older Kindle Keyboards since June 2009 - and one is a larger Kindle DX that's no longer made by Amazon. When we started our program in 2009 we had 18 Kindles but had to reduce to 6 because of licensing restrictions. All 6 of the Kindles have our entire 800 Kindle eBook collection loaded on them. In addition to that, patrons can request up to two titles with a total cost of $20 via our website's online request form; the vast majority of our 800 Kindle eBooks were purchased based on patron requests. The Kindle eBooks are in our catalog as well as on a separate Library Thing account so patrons can discover which books we have available in multiple ways. The Kindles check out for 2 weeks, overdue fines are $1/day and we only checkout Kindles to OSU-affiliated people (students, faculty and staff). We circulate each Kindle and its charger with a protective Belkin sleeve and some basic laminated instructions in a carrying case. Let me go over some of the pros and cons of our Kindle program. The pros are that it offers a sizeable fiction collection to our patrons; since we are an academic library we don't do a lot of purchasing of popular fiction books so our patrons use the Kindles mostly for reading fiction. Another pro is that our collection is patron-driven and we make it really easy for patrons to request books and we almost always purchase them as long as they are under the $20 limit. And, patrons can keep requesting books for the next time they get the Kindle. Now, the cons. Because we only have 6 Kindles the wait for a Kindle can be really long. Sometimes the wait is as little as two weeks but sometimes it's several months. We've thought about getting more Kindles but then we'd have to repurchase our entire collection or split the collection between Kindles (which I'd rather not do at this point). And because the wait can be a while there are patrons that don't use the Kindle program because they'd rather order the book through Summit or ILL and get it sooner (unless it's a new release). That said, many (if not most) of our Kindle users are repeat borrowers so clearly the Kindles are well-liked. We almost always have an active waiting list so they're also fairly popular; this is especially true in the last two months since we upgraded them. Also, according to a survey we used to circulate with the Kindles, a lot of patrons borrow Kindles to test them out before buying their own so we're also providing that service, albeit unintentionally. I can go into a lot more detail about the requesting and book purchasing process but I won't here; if you'd like to hear more of the details, please email me and I'd be happy to share! Thank you, Amila Had?iomerspahi?

The fifth annual conference about the future of libraries will be held on October 20, 2015, from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time (GMT-7), and is free to attend. Joining the ranks of noteworthy Library 2.0 keynote speakers is technology expert Norman Jacknis, president of the New York Metropolitan Library Council. A renowned speaker at international technology industry events, Jacknis' Library 2.015 conference keynote will cover "how trends in technology, society, the economy and government provide new opportunities for libraries." Jacknis is the most recent addition to the keynote lineup that includes Sandra Hirsh, director of the San Jose State University (SJSU) School of Information, and Toby Greenwalt, director of digital strategy and technology integration at the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh. Hirsh, who also serves as Library 2.0 conference co-chair, will open the highly anticipated conference with her keynote address. Keeping to the conference theme of Tools, Skills and Competencies, Greenwalt's talk will focus on "how the library makes itself visible in an always-connected world." Once again, previous speakers have been invited back as distinguished speakers for the international conference. Michael Stephens, an assistant professor at the SJSU School of Information and Library 2.0 conference veteran speaker, will be sharing some of the insights published in his monthly Library Journal column "Office Hours" and leading a discussion of "the challenges and promise of a changing LIS workforce" in a session titled "Full Stacks, Introverts, & Zero-Sum Librarians: Notes from Office Hours." Following her Library 2.014 conference keynote on "Librarians and Social Capital ," Joyce Valenza is returning as a distinguished speaker for the Library 2.015 conference. Valenza, an assistant professor and director of the MLIS program at Rutgers University, "speaks nationally about issues relating to libraries and thoughtful use of technology." During his session titled "Library as Platforms: Lessons from News Media ," distinguished speaker David Weinberger will look at why "three news organizations developed APIs, where they succeeded and failed, what they are currently used for, and how they might develop, to see what libraries can learn." Weinberger is a senior researcher at Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet & Society and an author. Rounding out the conference schedule will be up to 50 crowd-sourced presentations . Everyone is invited to join the global conversation and submit a proposal for the October event. Suggested presentation topics include digital services, emerging technologies, user experience, and management in the 21st century. The annual Library 2.0 conferences were co-founded in 2011 by the SJSU School of Information, and this year the school helped expand the experience for information professionals worldwide with the Library 2.015 Spring Summit and the Library 2.0 Webinar Series .

You will assess the needs of the community and plan, prepare and implement programs (including Black storytimes) and outreach for your service area, as well as build and maintain professional relationships with patrons and surrounding organizations.

Video: A Return Passage [http://files.ctctcdn.com/292efed7001/e53ab9aa-b355-4009-bbf3-e7af9fba3592.png] In 2013, reporter Putsata Reang and photographer Kim Nguyen traveled through Southeast Asia to document repression of freedom of expression and find ways to support journalists in their efforts to expand free speech. The trip was also a homecoming of sorts--both women fled conflicts in the region as children. This video traces the intertwined stories of Reang and Nguyen from their beginnings, when they left their native countries as young refugees. They met as journalism students in Oregon, and later returned to their home countries to work toward spreading freedom of expression. Watch "A Return Passage" at oregonhumanities.org.

Message from the Executive Director [Add a description] Tim LaBarge Two weeks ago, just before our recent Think & Drink with Eula Biss, I should have been mingling with guests at the Alberta Rose Theatre. Instead, I found myself standing back and watching as several Oregon Humanities board members moved through the theater talking with guests and friends. It was encouraging and motivating to see board members greet audience members and one another, engage in conversation, and demonstrate by their presence and comportment how they feel about the work Oregon Humanities is doing. Since the beginning of my acquaintance with Oregon Humanities' board, I have been struck by how engaged, open, and friendly they are, as a group and as individuals. Meetings of the whole board and of smaller work groups and committees usually feel alive and productive rather than rote or compulsory. Much of this is due to the particular combination of people on the board and to the care they have for what OH is trying to do: to get people all over the state thinking and talking across differences about questions we share. The biggest shared question we regularly explore and act on might be "how we can live better together?" OH board members seem committed in an ongoing way to thinking through the key parts of that question: the "we," the "better," and the "together." Thinking about where our board members come from and what they most care about, I'm reminded how important it is to our work that OH board members reflect a wide range of perspectives and areas of expertise: geography, race, age, language, educational background, profession. If, as an organization, we hope to invite diverse perspectives, our board and staff must, in a perpetually self-refreshing way, do the same So even though OH has a remarkable board of directors, I'm also aware that there are many people around the state who could further strengthen OH's board. We have a process for inviting and bringing in new members, so please let us know if there are people who might help Oregon Humanities do its work better--people who would support our vision of an Oregon that invites diverse perspectives, explores challenging questions, and strives for just communities. Thanks in advance for your thoughts and your help. Adam Davis Executive Director Oregon Humanities is an independent nonprofit organization that is generously supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Oregon Cultural Trust, foundations, and individual donors.

This award, cosponsored by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, was created in 2005 to encourage and showcase the exemplary work of libraries serving populations under 25,000. What is Belgrade's secret award-winning sauce? With a robust volunteer base, they have reimagined library services and aggressively developed new outreach efforts to meet the community's changing needs. The result is intense engagement and support from the community and an impact beyond Belgrade's borders through leadership to small libraries throughout the state.

Growing Through Conflict: Healthy Workplace Communication Thursday, September 10, 2015 - 3 pm Eastern / 12 pm Pacific - 60 min Registration: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/growing-through-conflict.html We are all so busy! Who has time to deal with conflicts? When conflict occurs, and we are confronted with a colleague, library patron, supervisor, or board member who is frustrated and upset, it can be tempting to identify a quick fix. However, when we do take the time to practice clear communication to uncover what people really need, we can get to better outcomes. Healthy communication involves: * Actions that show you are really listening * Communication with people who are angry or upset in a way that their needs can be addressed and resolved * Knowing your own emotions and needs, and effective ways to express them Practicing healthy communication skills will boost your self-confidence and contribute to a happier workplace.

Message-ID: Greetings, This comes to you by way of ALA's Dispatch - you can help to ensure that there is a strong library presence at SXSW 2016, read on for more information! Believe it or not, the annual interdisciplinary fete known as South by Southwest (SXSW) is once again around the corner - and, as in years past, we need your help to make sure libraries are well represented. Last year, with your help, OITP's Larra Clark participated in the Austin-based event (which consists of four separate convening's - SXSW Interactive, SXSW Edu, SXSW Music and SXSW Film) with D.C. Public Library's Nick Kerelchuk and start-up MapStory's Jonathan Marino. Larra, Nick and Jonathan's SXSW Interactive panel described how hundreds of U.S. libraries meet the needs of this country's growing cohort of self-employed, temp and freelance workers by providing workspaces and programming that foster entrepreneurship and creativity. SXSW received more than 4,000 submissions this year-an all-time record-so we need your help to make the cut. Public voting counts for 30 percent of SXSW's decision to pick a panel, so please support these great programs. It's easy: Become a "registered voter" in the Panel Picker process by signing up for a free account here, and get your votes in before Friday, Sept. 4. Supportive comments are even more helpful in making one proposal stand out from another. This year, ALA once again hopes to make an impression at SXSW. The Office for Information Technology Policy proposed two programs, one for Interactive and one for EDU: Technology Adoption as Policy Linchpin As technology innovation speeds forward, the gap between early and late adopters is growing to the detriment of individuals and communities. Digital adoption is central to addressing a range of policy woes from underperforming schools to unemployment to housing security. Home broadband adoption took policy center stage in 2015 with President Obama's Broadband Opportunity Council, the FCC's Lifeline proceeding and HUD's public-private ConnectHome effort. This session will discuss the gap, how to consistently link access and adoption across sectors, critically explore policy options, share exemplary examples and look to the future of continuous digital adoption in relationship to innovation. Improving 3D Printing Workflow to Boost Learning 3D printing is taking off in libraries, schools and universities, expanding opportunities for creative learning and expression. But one of the biggest obstacles to helping all people benefit from this trend is a lack of capacity in these institutions - in terms of physical space, equipment, technical know-how, broadband capacity and person power. How can these learning centers lead everyone onto the 3D printing on-ramp without creating a logjam? It's possible! Hear from a panel of burning souls from across the 3D printing world who have dedicated blood, sweat and tears to advancing the 3D revolution. But wait, there's more. Re:Create, a new copyright coalition of which ALA is a founding member, proposed this program: Copyright & Creators: 2026 What does the future hold for copyright? Who are the gatekeepers and how does this power structure need to change to meet not only the needs of today's digital age, but also the needs of future creativity and innovation? The Copyright & Creators: 2026 panel will speculate on where the innovations and advancements will be in 2026. Will our laws keep pace with the times or fall behind? And how will people continually interact with copyright? Moderated by a veteran reporter, panelists include a respected academic, a noted futurist and a fan fiction leader who will debate the trajectory of copyright law and where some of the future conversations and conflicts will be a decade from now. And...Benetech, a non-profit social enterprise organization, proposed the following program for Edu to highlight its establishment of a new 3D printing coalition between libraries museums and schools, in which ALA is involved: No More Yoda Heads: 3D printing 4 diverse learners Research suggests that 3D objects are important for learning and reinforcing complex spatial concepts that are difficult to convey or explore in any other way (e.g., cells and DNA). Although many schools have access to 3D printing technology, many machines are underutilized and used to print novelty items. In this session, learn about new collaborations with libraries and museums to help support teachers in providing multi-modal access to complex STEM topics as well as utilizing student talent to create innovative learning tools. ALA also is a member of the SXSW library "team" that connects through the lib*interactive Facebook group and #liblove. Join the group and learn more about library proposals around the country. Please share far and wide! Selected panels for SXSW Interactive will be announced starting Monday, Oct. 19, 2015. Those for SXSW Edu will be announced starting Wednesday, Oct. 21, 2015. Thanks!

[BiblioTech: Why Libraries Matter More Than Ever in the Age of Google] Palfrey, John. BiblioTech: Why Libraries Matter More Than Ever in the Age of Google. Basic Books, 2015. ISBN: 978-0-465-04299-9 Description In BiblioTech, educator and technology expert John Palfrey argues that anyone seeking to participate in the 21st century needs to understand how to find and use the vast stores of information available online. And libraries, which play a crucial role in making these skills and information available, are at risk. In order to survive our rapidly modernizing world and dwindling government funding, libraries must make the transition to a digital future as soon as possible-by digitizing print material and ensuring that born-digital material is publicly available online. Table of Contents A detailed table of contents is available on the LIS Collection blog: http://osl-lis.blogspot.com/2015/08/bibliotech-why-libraries-matter-more.html If you would like to request this or other materials from the Oregon State Library please use your library's established interlibrary loan process (e.g. OCLC or ALA request form). Otherwise, send your full name, the name of your library, complete title information, shipping address, and a phone number to the document delivery department at library.request at state.or.us or (fax) 503-588-7119. Items will be checked out to your library, not to you personally, for 4 weeks (print materials) or 2 weeks (videos). Materials will be delivered via mail or Orbis Cascade Alliance Courier, and you may return them the same way. Normally a single copy is purchased and is loaned on a first-come-first-serve basis. You may be put on a hold list for several weeks. Most library staff are able to use their library's interlibrary loan service to borrow professional development material. However, if you do not have access to these services or are not currently affiliated with a library, please contact me to discuss alternative options for borrowing the material. Be sure to check out our Library and Information Science (LIS) blog to discover the most recent additions to our LIS collection and search our catalog for our complete holdings. The library science collection is meant to support the whole Oregon library community. Library Support and Development Services welcomes your suggestions for acquisitions - see the blog for an input form or email us!

The American Library Association (ALA) asks library users to nominate librarians who have transformed lives and communities through education and lifelong learning for its coveted 2015 I Love My Librarian Award. The award invites library users nationwide to recognize the public service of exceptional public, school, college, community college or university librarians. Library users can nominate their favorite librarians now through Sept. 28 by visiting http://www.ilovelibraries.org/lovemylibrarian. Each year since the award?s inception in 2008, the ALA selects up to 10 librarians from a pool of thousands of nominations. Award winners will each receive a $5,000 cash award, a plaque and a travel stipend to attend the I Love My Librarian Award ceremony and reception in New York City on Dec. 3, 2015, hosted by Carnegie Corporation of New York. Each nominee must be a librarian with a master?s degree from a program accredited by the ALA in library and information studies or hold a master?s degree with a specialty in school library media from an educational program accredited by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education. Nominees must be currently working in the United States in a public library, a library at an accredited two- or four-year college or university or at an accredited K-12 school.

The 2016 conference theme is "Tell Your Story". Proposal descriptions are typically limited to 100 words. The hashtag is #ORLib16 . This year we're trying something different. In the past, presenters had to be sponsored by an OLA division or roundtable. But how do you know which OLA unit to choose? And since most conference sessions don't have a cost, what is the sponsorship for? So this year we are encouraging you, our dear members, to submit your ideas directly - no sponsorship required. We still welcome proposals from OLA units, as well. Sessions can be presentations, panels, or workshops. If your session idea does have any associated costs, it will still need a sponsoring OLA unit . So get those ideas generating and ready to go! More details coming soon. Sara Q.

We are proud to announce this year?s award winner, *John Schoppert*, Director of Library Services at Columbia Gorge Community College (CGCC), for leading the *Gorge Open (GO) Open Educational Resources (OER) project*. Mr. Schoppert collaborated with CGCC administration, the distance learning coordinator, faculty, the bookstore manager, and advisors, and he sought the support of the CGCC Foundation. He designed an outreach program for faculty, which included seminars and presentations to departments, committees, and one-on-one consultations. These efforts helped raise the awareness of OER throughout the campus and created a groundswell of interest, which led to early adoption of OER into course curriculum. Mr. Schoppert helped instructors integrate OER into the classroom, provided research support, and designed course assessments to improve the instructional design and to address student concerns about the OER alternative textbook program. Furthermore, Mr. Schoppert kept institutional interest high by engaging the administration, the board of education, and staff shareholders (the bookstore manager, advisors, etc.) and including them in the efforts of building OER courses. By engaging the administration, Mr. Schoppert created an overall awareness of OER, not only as it affected CGCC students, but also through connecting it to student success nationwide by alleviating burdensome textbook costs. By repeated presentations to administration, the board, and to the CGCC Foundation for financial support, the CGCC OER program was firmly established on the institutional level and integrated into the Student Success Plan and the Strategic Enrollment Management Plan, the two overarching management plans for CGCC student success. The final goal for Mr. Schoppert was to brand the OER program, and give OER classes a clear distinction in the CGCC schedule. Thus was born the GO ? "Gorge Open" - brand icon, which corresponds with every course that uses OER each term. This icon allows student to know which courses would reduce their college expenses by not using a publisher?s textbook. Although somewhat controversial, it has proven effective as students are increasingly signing up for these classes. As early adopters of using an OER icon in their schedules, CGCC was pleased to see the recent passage of Oregon House Bill 81 ? the OER bill ? which included the requirement of an icon in community college schedules to designate OER courses, along with the funding for OER adoption throughout the state. To date, CGCC has saved students over $61,000 in student textbook costs. Congratulations again to John Schoppert, recipient of the 2015 ACRL-Oregon Award for Excellence! Please visit the Award for Excellence page for more info about the award, as well as for a list of past winners and projects. *Message sent on behalf of ACRL-Oregon by Jennifer Snoek-Brown (ACRL-OR Communications Coordinator, 2014-2016), Faculty Librarian, Mt.

It?s an exciting week here at Project for Public Spaces! After another successful year of reimagining public spaces in communities around the country, we are ready to begin accepting applications for the 2016 Southwest Airlines *Heart of the Community* grant program. *Creative Communities and Arts-Based Placemaking* Arts-based Placemaking is an integrative approach to urban planning and community building that stimulates local economies and leads to increased innovation, cultural diversity, and civic engagement. Since creativity fuels place value, the benefits of using arts and culture to tap into a place?s unique character extend well beyond the art world. Across sectors and at all levels, today?s leaders and policymakers are increasingly recognizing how arts-based Placemaking initiatives can simultaneously advance their missions in transportation, housing, employment, health care, environmental sustainability, and education. *Carmel, Indiana: Roundabout City, USA* The city of Carmel, Indiana, is a national leader in attracting new businesses and residents by fostering a vibrant art-scene, installing innovative transportation solutions, and promoting dense, walkable, mixed-use development. Last week, the Mayor of Carmel, Jim Brainard, stopped by PPS to showcase some of the projects, programs, and policies that have made Carmel one of the most livable cities in the United States. *Check out our new database of outstanding Lighter, Quicker, Cheaper projects around the globe!* The growing success of ?Lighter, Quicker, Cheaper? (LQC) projects all over the world is proof that expensive and labor-intensive initiatives are not the only, or even the most effective, ways to bring energy and life into a community?s public space. The proliferation these efforts all over the world shows that more and more people are beginning to see how communities can be created and transformed by making a series of affordable, human-scale, and immediate changes. *ICYMI:* *Reimagining Our Streets as Places: From Transit Routes to Community Roots * Streets are our most fundamental shared public spaces, but they are also one of the most contested and overlooked. Today, and for most of the last century, we have taken for granted the idea that our streets are primarily zones for cars, parking, and the transporting of goods. This has not been the case, however, throughout most of history. Across many cultures and times ? since the beginning of civilization, in fact ? the street has held vast social, commercial, and political significance as a powerful symbol of the public realm. "The freedom to make and remake our cities and ourselves is ? one of the most precious yet most neglected of our human rights." *- Geographer David Harvey, in* *"The Right to the City" * *|* * quoted in The Guardian * *These are the places we remember most vividly, the places where serendipitous things happen, the places we tell stories about.* * Submit your Great Public Space today! * - MIT Puts Pedestrians at the Center of Urban Design - L.A. will add bike and bus lanes, cut car lanes in sweeping policy shift - A Tale of Two Parks: Campus Martius vs. Hart Plaza [image: Project for Public Spaces] Facebook @PPS_Placemaking pps_placemaking www.pps.org If you no longer wish to receive information via this e-list, here are the instructions on how to unsubscribe: UNSUBSCRIBE INSTRUCTIONS: * Go to http://lists.ala.org/sympa/info/alacro-l * Log in on this page; first time users will need to get a password by following instructions * Choose Unsubscribe from the left-hand column and follow instructions -- Suzanne L.

Last year 14 attempts to ban books, videos, sound recordings and magazines in Oregon libraries were reported to the Oregon Intellectual Freedom Clearinghouse (OIFC). Thirteen of the challenged items were retained in the collection and one was removed from the collection. I encourage you to incorporate this information and/or the titles of the challenged materials in your Banned Books Week displays and activities. Many people may not realize that book banning is not a thing from the past or that attempts to ban books are made every year right here in Oregon. This is a valuable educational opportunity to discuss the nature of the First Amendment-just as we have a right to access these materials in our libraries, we have a right to question whether they are appropriate to include in public collections. * Why might someone find these materials inappropriate? * Why should they remain in the collection? * Is labeling a book an effective way to inform people about content that may not be appropriate for everyone or is it a form of censorship? * What would you do if someone came up to you in your library and said they want you to remove a book from the collection? * Why is a collection development policy the most important line of defense when library materials are challenged? * Does your library have a policy or established procedure for patrons to challenge material? You can find resources that may help you answer these questions at: http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/intellectual.aspx Thanks, Katie Anderson Katie Anderson, Youth Services Consultant Library Support and Development Services Oregon State Library, 250 Winter St. NE, Salem, OR 97301 katie.anderson at state.or.us, 503-378-2528 [cid:image004.png at 01D0358C.4523C4D0] [http://www.thewwwblog.com/images/blogger-logo.jpg] [http://www.aethlonmedical.com/assets/001/5130.png] [Picture] -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Our primary responsibility is to advise on matters related to the Statewide Database Licensing Program including: drafting requests for proposal (RFP), evaluating proposals, making database licensing recommendations, and when necessary, advising on the allocation of costs to participating libraries. The committee's work in the past year focused on drafting a Testing and Skills Building Resource RFP and evaluating proposals from LearningExpress and Gale/Cengage Learning. LearningExpress scored higher and the committee recommended including two additional LearningExpress modules, Job & Career Accelerator and Computer and Internet Basics, in the renewal. The Oregon State Library approved the recommendation and the new contract will begin in November. At the April 2015 meeting, Diane Sotak of the University of Portland, was elected as incoming committee chair. SDLAC members also recognized outgoing chair Stephen Cox, from Salem Keizer Public Schools, for his service. In the coming year, the SDLAC will plan for upcoming contract renewals and explore options for improving access to, and awareness of, statewide database resources. The committee is comprised of members representing different library constituencies. You are encouraged to contact your committee liaison with feedback on how the statewide database program is meeting the needs of your constituency. The list of members and meeting minutes are available here:http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/technology/sdlp/index.aspx#Advisory_Committee_&_Meeting_Minutes You can also contact the Chair or Coordinator with questions or suggestions.

On the Material Trail: Inside the Culture of 'Made in Italy' is envisioned as a highly immersive program in a location like no other in the world. It is a unique opportunity to gain a behind-the-scenes experience of the industries that craft the luxury products that define the excellence of ?Made in Italy.? Designed for librarians, curators, and those interested in and whose subject areas cover these industries, program attendees will have guided access to sites and learn from experts to gain a thorough understanding of Italy?s famous culture of making and design that is both centuries old and contemporary. On the Material Trail will be based in the town of San Miniato in the heart of Tuscany halfway between Florence and Pisa and is accessible via rail and major airports in those two cities. San Miniato is a site on the Via Francigena, a former pilgrimage route from Canterbury to Rome and now the center of the Tuscan Leather District. Attendees will be welcomed by the Consortium of Vegetable-Tanned Leather, a non-profit association of twenty-two tanneries in the region that promotes the natural beauty and responsible use of this rich material. Our personal guide for this week, Diane Becker has 35 years of experience in Italy: ranging from shoe designer, department chair for Footwear and Accessory Design at Polimoda to trend forecast and brand identity for the luxury leather sector. She is responsible for didactic projects for the Consorzio Vera Pelle and the workshop Craft the Leather. -- MARK POMPELIA Visual + Material Resource Librarian Fleet Library at Rhode Island School of Design library.risd.edu 401-709-5935 Art Libraries Society of North America Treasurer, 2014-16 Materials Special Interest Group: material|resource -- MARK POMPELIA Visual + Material Resource Librarian Fleet Library at Rhode Island School of Design library.risd.edu 401-709-5935 Art Libraries Society of North America Treasurer, 2014-16 Materials Special Interest Group: material|resource -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Growing Through Conflict: Healthy Workplace Communication Thursday, September 10, 2015 - 12 pm Pacific - 60 min Registration: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/growing-through-conflict.html We are all so busy! Who has time to deal with conflicts? When conflict occurs, and we are confronted with a colleague, library patron, supervisor, or board member who is frustrated and upset, it can be tempting to identify a quick fix. However, when we do take the time to practice clear communication to uncover what people really need, we can get to better outcomes. Healthy communication involves: ? Actions that show you are really listening ? Communication with people who are angry or upset in a way that their needs can be addressed and resolved ? Knowing your own emotions and needs, and effective ways to express them Practicing healthy communication skills will boost your self-confidence and contribute to a happier workplace.

The speaker this year is Dr. Safiya Noble, Assistant Professor in the Dept. of Information Studies at UCLA. Her talk is abstracted below. "Google Searching for Black Girls: Old Media Stereotypes in New Media Practices" Critical information scholars continue to demonstrate how technology and its narratives are shaped by and infused with values, that is, that it is not the result of the actions of impartial, disembodied, unpositioned agents. Technology consists of a set of social practices, situated within the dynamics of race, gender, class, and politics. Critiques of technology include the rhetoric around the digital divide, as if access, skills and connectivity are the primary issues facing women and girls of color in the realms of the digital. These critiques, however, largely serve to depoliticize the ways that social systems of power are embedded in technology practices. This talk is based on a forthcoming book (NYU Press) about identity for sale in commercial search engines, where I look deeply at how Google mediates access to information on racialized and gendered identities in biased ways that reinforce oppressive social relations. 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 . Please note this year's lecture will be held in a different venue than in past years. We hope you can join us!

For those that are interested in E-rate, please save the date for this webinar, registration will open early next week. USAC will conduct a webinar introducing the new portal on Thursday, September 10 from 11:00am-12:00 pm PT. The portal - part of the E-rate Productivity Center or EPC (pronounced "epic") - will become the primary channel for applicants, service providers, and consultant to file program forms, ask questions, and manage their information. Although USAC has been covering the portal in some depth over the last few months, we want to provide an introduction to the portal for those program participants who are just now starting to prepare for the FY2016 application cycle. The webinar will provide general information about the benefits of the portal, together with how to find information on specific guidance available on the USAC website. Early next week, you will be able to register for this webinar from a link to be provided on the Trainings & Outreach page on the USAC website.

Sager ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Don Wood Date: Mon, Aug 31, 2015 at 8:52 AM Subject: [alacro-l] ALA, Harwood Institute release new tools to help libraries lead positive community change To: "alacro-l at lists.ala.org" ALA, in partnership with The Harwood Institute for Public Innovation, has released three new tools to help libraries engage their communities, focus efforts where they are needed most and lead positive community change. The tools are the final pieces of a set of community engagement resources created for libraries as part of ALA?s Libraries Transforming Communities initiative. Taken together, the collection ? which includes worksheets, conversation guides and webinars ? teaches libraries to ?turn outward,? making their communities the reference point for the libraries? work. The new tools are designed for libraries that already have been putting the ?turning outward? approach to use, or those that have attended a Harwood Institute training or orientation. - ?Making It Stick with Staff? is a discussion guide to help libraries reflect on their changing outlook and make the ?turning outward? approach part of their everyday work. - ?Making Meaning of Data? helps libraries make sense of data about library usage and activity and use that information to create programs that better serves the community?s needs. - ?Tracking Your Progress ? provides a visual representation of the ?turning outward? approach to help libraries visualize where they have been and where they are going next. Deborah McCullough, deputy director of the Public Library of Youngstown and Mahoning County in Ohio, said the ?Making It Stick with Staff? tool helped facilitate teamwork among her staff. ??Making It Stick with Staff? was a great way to get staff to talk ? and everyone participated! ?about what the library has done to implement change,? McCullough said. ?The questions were practical and specifically designed to keep the conversation going, and yet allowed for reflection and analysis.? Created by The Harwood Institute, the ?turning outward? approach emphasizes taking steps to better understand communities; changing processes and thinking to make conversations more community-focused; becoming more proactive to community issues; and putting community aspirations first. Libraries and library professionals around the country are using this approach to: - lead conversations with community members to better understand their goals and concerns; - develop library strategic plans that benefit the library and the greater community; - connect with underserved segments of the library?s service area; - overcome political gridlock; and - create professional development opportunities that meet the library system?s needs. The full collection of ?turning outward? resources ? including a 90-day ?Step-by-Step Guide to ?Turning Outward? to Your Community? ? can be downloaded, free of charge, at ala.org/LTC . The new tools were conceived with insight from the Libraries Transforming Communities Public Innovators Cohort , a group of 10 public libraries selected to take part in an intensive, 18-month training into the ?turning outward? approach. _______________ Sarah Ostman Communications Manager Public Programs Office American Library Association 312-280-5061 If you no longer wish to receive information via this e-list, here are the instructions on how to unsubscribe: UNSUBSCRIBE INSTRUCTIONS: * Go to http://lists.ala.org/sympa/info/alacro-l * Log in on this page; first time users will need to get a password by following instructions * Choose Unsubscribe from the left-hand column and follow instructions -- Suzanne L.

It also covers what's new in integrated library systems, electronic resource management, and patron- and demand-driven acquisitions.
