Regular registration $130 *(ends February 6, 2015)* ? Onsite registration $150 Online Northwest is a conference addressing issues at the intersection of libraries, technology and culture. This year we have an exciting program that includes presentations and workshops on digital inclusion, wearable tech, library as publisher, code playgrounds, digital assets management, data visualization and more. View the conference program at: http://onlinenorthwest.org/2015-program/ Mita Williams , User Experience Librarian at the University of Windsor, will start off the day with her keynote presentation: *Teach for America. Code for America. Librarianing for America.* The motto for Code for America is "a new kind of public service". The motto of CrisisCommons is "we help connect people to help those in need". This talk is not going to dwell on the matter that librarians lack a good word - much less an official motto ? to describe the work we do. Instead, a case will be made for a new program to be designed to get more librarians working within more organizations in more communities. This year?s attendees will also be eligible to win exciting *door prizes* including: label makers, laptop gear, media players, and a Nook GlowLight E-Reader! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Mission: The State Library provides leadership and resources to continue growing vibrant library services for Oregonians who are print-disabled, the Legislature and state government, and all Oregonians through local libraries. Library Board News State Library Board to Meet in Salem on February 13th The Oregon State Library Board will meet on Friday, February 13, 2015 at the Oregon State Library in Salem. The meeting will be facilitated by staff of the Coraggio Group who have been working with the State Library on creating a strategic plan. The meeting will include a review of the State Library's Strategic Plan and the upcoming 2015 Legislative Session. Return to top of page State Library News New Flyers Highlighting Gale Business and Health Content Now Available [GaleFlyers]The State Library has worked with Gale/Cengage to create flyers that can be used by libraries to promote the business and health resources available to all Oregonians through the Statewide Database Licensing Program (SDLP). Specific databases and eBook content from the Gale Virtual Reference Library are highlighted. The flyers, Libraries Mean Business and Health Happens at Libraries can be customized to include local library information about how to access the resources. These and other marketing tools, such as posters, table tents, and bookmarks can be found at the Gale Support Portal for Oregon. Questions? Contact Arlene Weible, Electronic Services Consultant. Answerland Moving to the State Library this Summer [Answerland]Answerland, Oregon's statewide virtual reference service which lets anyone connect to a librarian by live chat, email or text messaging, will be transitioning from Multnomah County Library to the Oregon State Library. The Oregon State Library Board of Trustees met on December 5, 2014 and voted unanimously in support of moving the administration of Answerland from Multnomah County Library to the Oregon State Library. In July 2015, Answerland will officially move to the Oregon State Library. The transition team is made up of Darci Hanning (Technology Development Consultant at Oregon State Library), Rachael Short (Answerland Coordinator at Multnomah County Library), and Emily Papagni (Answerland Support Librarian at Multnomah County Library). The team is guided by the input of the Answerland Advisory Board. As part of the transition, Oregon State Library is seeking new software for Answerland. This software will be selected through the State's Request For Proposals (RFP) process. We plan to provide training on the new software for Answerland librarians in May and June. Also of note, the State Library has no plans to charge libraries for participating in Answerland during the 2015-16 fiscal year. If you have any questions, please contact Darci Hanning (503-378-2527). 2013-2014 Ready to Read Annual Report Now Available The 2013-2014 Ready to Read Annual Report and Best Practice Libraries report are now on the Ready to Read Grant web page. The Ready to Read Annual Report is an analysis of the Ready to Read Final Reports submitted to the State Library every December. The State Library has established metrics that measure the effectiveness of the Ready to Read Grant Program. The metrics provide longitudinal data on public library youth services and public library usage statistics. 2013-2014 was the first time libraries select a few outcomes from a list provided by the State Library. Outcome based evaluation allows public libraries to see how their efforts impact library services to children in Oregon, and serves as a tool for setting local youth service goals. The Best Practice Libraries report lists those libraries that provide all three youth services best practices: outreach, summer reading, and early literacy training for caregivers. New Exhibit Showcases Oregon Document Collection [DriveOR]A new exhibit titled "Publications of the People: the History and Art of Oregon Documents" will open on the second floor of the State Library beginning on February 2nd. The exhibit discusses the rise in the use of illustration and design in the 1930s and 1940s to accentuate official state publications issued by Oregon state agencies. Covers of actual state documents including Blue Books, road maps, and travel brochures will be displayed. Since 1907, Oregon state law has required the State Library to collect and distribute Oregon state publications. To date there are more than 220,000 physical items in the Oregon Document collection and another 40 thousand plus online state documents which are available via the Internet from the Oregon Documents Repository. The exhibit is free and open to the public from Monday to Friday, 8 am to 5 pm. 2013-2014 Outstanding Ready to Read Grant Projects Awarded Each year the State Library staff recognizes several public libraries for their outstanding Ready to Read Grant projects. The criteria for this recognition are that the library adheres to the original intent of the Ready to Read Grant, focuses on one or more of the three Ready to Read Grant best practices, promotes partnerships both in and out of the library, and creates a project that is replicable in other libraries, or enhances current library services. Libraries recognized for their Outstanding Ready to Read projects in 2013-2014 are: Coquille Public Library, Enterprise Public Library, Helix Public Library, Newport Public Library, and Salem Public Library. Update on LearningExpress Library [LearningExpress]The Statewide Database Licensing Program's contract for LearningExpress Library expires in October 2015. The Statewide Database Licensing Advisory Committee (SDLAC) recommended that a testing and skills building online resource continue to be offered through the SDLP, so the State Library has released a Request for Proposal (RFP) to pursue a new contract. It is expected that SDLAC members will evaluate proposals in March and make a final recommendation to the OSL Board by June 2015. More information about the RFP can be found at the Oregon Procurement Information Network or on the SDLP web site. If you would like to provide feedback about this procurement, please contact a member of the SDLAC or Arlene Weible, Electronic Services Consultant. Return to top of page Other Library News Oregon School Library Standards Adopted by State Board of Education [OASLStandards]At their January 22nd meeting, the Oregon State Board of Education adopted the Oregon School Library Standards that Oregon Association of School Libraries (OASL) finalized in 2012. How that will affect school libraries is yet to be determined. The OASL ad hoc committee that sought the adoption and OASL's Oregon School Library Standards committee will seek more information and develop next steps. In response to the news, MaryKay Dahlgreen, State Librarian, said, "To everyone who worked long and hard on this project, congratulations! This is an important step in the regeneration of school libraries in Oregon, along with the adopted school library indicators in the district continuous improvement plans. Thank you to everyone who worked on this." For a history of the development of the standards, read the related Libs-Or posting.

I'm writing to enlist your help. We've had a surprisingly low application rate for our library research awards. Surprising because we're offering $2,500 to conduct research in the Barnard Archives, Center for Research on Woman and Zine Library, and all we ask for in return is a blog post. Would you consider alerting scholars at your own institutions (or apply yourselves!) and perhaps share my call on any appropriate email lists, and social media groups you're on where it hasn't been posted yet/in a while? The post will appear below my sig block, for each copying and pasting (I hope). Gratefully, Jenna Jenna Freedman | Associate Director of Communications & Zine Librarian IM: BarnardLibJenna (AIM, Google, Yahoo) | Lehman 208 B @barnlib | facebook.com/barnardlibrary | zines.barnard.edu The Barnard Library will award two grants of $2,500 to researchers using its Archives , Zine Library or Barnard Center for Research on Women collection. https://library.barnard.edu/news/Announcing-Library-Research-Awards-201516 Undergraduate and graduate students, professors and independent scholars from outside the New York metropolitan area are encouraged to apply . Particular strengths of the three collections are the history of the college, second and third wave feminist and LGBTQ print ephemera (1970s-present newsletters, pamphlets, zines, etc.), riot grrrl, late 20th century girlhood, 20th century women's education, NYC modern dance history, representations of women?s sexuality and embodiment, contemporary zine culture, zines by women of color. Award money may be used for whatever will facilitate the researcher's work at Barnard, e.g., travel, housing, childcare. Applications will be accepted through February 15, 2015. Award notifications will be sent to applicants by April 30, 2015 for research to be conducted at Barnard during the period July 1, 2015 ? June 30, 2016. *Librarians at Barnard were inspired to create this program by similar awards at Columbia University and the Sallie Bingham Center for Women's History and Culture * Application | FAQ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We will fill orders for Forms 1040 and 1040A with the quantities you requested on your order form earlier this year. Because Form 1040EZ was not on this year's order form, we will send you 75% of your Form 1040 A order quantity. For example, if you ordered 3000 Form 1040 A, we will send you 2250 Form 1040EZ. It is not necessary for you to place an order for Form 1040EZ; we will automatically ship Form 1040EZ to you once the form becomes available. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer Instructions for Forms 1040, 1040A and 1040EZ. Your patrons can obtain copies of Instructions through: * IRS.gov/Forms - to view and download * IRS.gov/orderforms - to order tax products to be delivered by mail * 1-800-829-3676 - to order tax products to be delivered by mail The decision to reduce the number of tax products available to our TFOP partners was not made lightly. We realize this decision is not ideal and we understand it may impact you and your customers. Please offer Publication 4604 (EN/SP) to your patrons to help guide them to tax products and information available on IRS.gov. We apologize for these late program changes.

It will always be easier for patrons to gripe to the librarian sitting in front of them than to take the time to call their representative.

Most of our libraries connect writers to library customers in multiple ways; Margaret is specifically interested in knowing how we use authors/writers as writing teachers (instructors, coaches, workshop leaders, etc.) If your library uses writers to provide services to the public, please let her know (Please email her directly). She will be talking us up at a conference in April; this is a great opportunity for some free publicity and promotion of the relationship between libraries and writers. Thanks, Margaret, for your interest in Oregon, and thank you Oregon Libraries for helping out Margaret and in doing so, helping out Oregon Libraries!

Specifically, I wondered where I could find information about writing programs offered by public libraries. I am trying to demonstrate to writers that they could have a place at the library table as a writing teacher. To that end I wondered what courses, classes, or programs your state public libraries offer their public an/or where they use the services of a writer. We are all good at sharing our resources among our library groups, but this is an opportunity for libraries to publicize programs by and for writers to the writers themselves. Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Margaret? ?

The project was modeled on a book done in Port Townsend years prior--it asked participants to brainstorm places, people, and events important in the community, and then it divvied up writing assignments, Heynen came to the libraries and mentored the project. A book, About Wallowa County, came out of our project. It is alas, now out of print. As I recall, Hood River and Toledo or someplace close to that on the coast also participated. It was a terrific model, got people who loved historical research, genealogy, etc together with wannabe poets and novelists. (The entries, by the way, were bylined.) And with actual publishing costs--formatting programs are almost standard on computers; print runs of 50 and 100 are economical; even short runs of heavily illustrated books are feasible--so much more reasonable now, it would be worth looking into resurrecting. Kim --or someone at NW Writing--might be induced to help. A small grant to OLA or a group of libraries might generate interest. Remember, the community reads started out with one book in Seattle--and, when i was at Fishtrap, we were in the first group of 10 nationwide to participate in the Big Read. Now hundreds of communities--often through or in partnership with libraries--are involved. Seems to me like an apple waiting to be plucked. good luck to the curious--i?m happy to try to answer questions. best rich On Tue, Feb 3, 2015 at 5:34 PM, Maureen Cole wrote: > Hi all: > > I was contacted today by Margaret Simon, who, as you can see below, is > interested in learning more about how libraries connect with writers to > provide instruction in writing.

We were having so many request from the public to use our staff phones "just for a minute" and putting a free phone in the entryway totally eliminated that problem. Speculating that people would monopolize the phone with long calls, we had out IT staff install a three minute timer on the phone, so the call would disconnect after three minutes. Signage by the phone indicated the 3 minute limit and users would hear a beep when they had 30 seconds left. Perhaps a 5 minute limit would have been better. One warning...do not ever publicize the actual digits of that free phone number as people will begin giving that out as their "home phone"! That happened in Flagstaff so we had to block all incoming calls to that line. Good luck!

The certificate should be 8.5" x 11", and should have blank outer margins of at least .25" on all sides. ? EPS files, like the ones found on the CSLP DVD, can be scaled to any size in your docu?ment without losing resolution. These files can be manipulated in illustration programs such as Microsoft Paint or Adobe Illustrator. ? TIFF and JPEG files can be manipulated in any photo editing program such as Adobe Photoshop (another example?). Avoid increasing these images by more than 20% of their original size. If you need an image in a different format and you cannot convert the image on your own, please email your request to the CSLP at info at cslpreads.org. ? Download the State of Oregon seal from http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/youthsvcs/oregon.srp.certificate.aspx#Download___Print_Certificates, and use it in your design. ? When converting your design to a PDF, select a high quality print setting (in particular, images should be at a minimum of 300dpi). ? A good rule of thumb for double-checking the resolution or print quality of your design: Open your PDF in Acrobat, and zoom in at 400%. If the images and type still look smooth (not grainy or pixelated), your design should print nicely. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Digital Public Library of America (http://dp.la) is looking for some great candidates for its Community Reps program. DPLA is a free, online library that collects cultural heritage content from institutions across the U.S. We are only about two years old but already work with content in all 50 states and partners in a growing number of regions. DPLA Community Reps are instrumental in doing outreach for us in local communities--introducing new users to the site, building apps and playing with our data, helping us create new resources, and connecting us with new places. We have 120 reps from the first two classes who come from all kinds of different professional worlds: public libraries, academic libraries, historical societies, higher education teaching, K-12 instruction, technology groups, genealogy groups, and museums. They represent the DPLA by offering a few outreach activities a year and bringing feedback to DPLA about what interests their audiences and what we can be doing better. The program is young but has so far been very successful at engaging a broad community around DPLA's open mission. The time commitment for reps is small--emailing with DPLA staff, an intro webinar, and 1-2 activities a year. More info about existing reps: http://dp.la/info/get-involved/reps/community-reps-meet-the-reps/.

Hannon Library has received a three-year grant from the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS) to offer a continuing education opportunity for academic and research librarians. Each year 21 librarians will receive, *at no cost to them*, instruction in research design and a full year of peer/mentor support to complete a research project at their home institutions. The summer Institute for Research Design in Librarianship (IRDL) workshop is supplemented with pre-Institute learning activities and a personal learning network that provides ongoing mentoring. The workshop will be held on the campus of Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, California. For more information about the project, including the project partners, the San Jos? State University School of Information and the Statewide California Electronic Library Consortium (SCELC), please see the project website: http://irdlonline.org. The second workshop will be held on July 13-23, 2015, with arrival on campus on Sunday, July 12, and departure on Friday, July 24. We are now issuing a call for applications for the IRDL 2015. We are seeking novice librarian researchers who are employed by academic libraries or research libraries outside an academic setting in the United States to participate in the Institute. Novice researchers typically may have conducted research but have not yet had a peer-reviewed article published as the primary author or had an individual presentation accepted by a peer-reviewed conference. We define ?novice? broadly; if you feel that you would benefit from being guided throughout the entire research design process, we encourage your application. Librarians of all levels of professional experience are welcome to apply. We seek librarians with a passion for research and a desire to improve their research skills. IRDL is designed to bring together all that the literature tells us about the necessary conditions for librarians to conduct valid and reliable research in an institutional setting. The cohort will be chosen from a selective submission process, with an emphasis on enthusiasm for research and diversity from a variety of perspectives, including ethnicity and type and size of library. The Advisory Board, comprised of librarians with research experience in a variety of settings, will use an open review process to select participants who will travel to Los Angeles, California, participate in all Institute activities, and conduct a research project during the 2015-2016 academic year. The online application requires a proposed research project that will be revised at the workshop and will be the basis for the study to be completed in the coming year. Selection criteria: ? Commitment to the year-long process of communicating with other participants and conducting the proposed study ? Significance of the research problem to the operational success of the applicant?s library or to the profession of librarianship ? Thoughtfulness, thoroughness, and clarity of the research proposal ? Enthusiasm for research and a desire to learn. We will be accepting applications from December 1, 2014 to February 14, 2015. Scholars accepted to the Institute will be notified in mid-April, 2015. Please contact Project Directors with any questions about the Institute or the application process: Kristine Brancolini, Dean of the Library, Loyola Marymount University brancoli at lmu.edu Marie Kennedy, Serials & Electronic Resources Librarian, Loyola Marymount University marie.kennedy at lmu.edu -- Tatiana Bryant De Jesus | MSLIS*MPA -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Sager ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Don Wood Date: Sun, Feb 1, 2015 at 6:40 AM Subject: [alacro-l] "Got E-rate?": A New Initiative To: "alacro-l at lists.ala.org" At the American Library Association?s Midwinter (ALA) Meeting in Chicago, the Association announced the launch of "Got E-rate?," a new initiative that encourages library leaders to apply for internet discounts as part of the national E-rate program. The initiative is a response to the Federal Communications Commission?s (FCC) recent overhaul of the E-rate program, which included adding $1.5 billion to the annual available funding. This infusion and other program changes provide new opportunities for libraries to radically rethink their broadband networks and begin to make gains toward the broadband speeds necessary for today?s and tomorrow?s library services. In the coming weeks, ALA, in collaboration with the Public Library Association (PLA), state library agencies, and other partners, will launch a series of E-rate resources, including communications, education, practical tools and technical support for librarians who are interested in applying for E-rate funding. "ALA invested significant resources over the past 18 months to ensure the FCC?s reform efforts would benefit libraries," said ALA President Courtney Young. "Due in large part to this advocacy, the program now supports more options for libraries that lack sufficient broadband capacity to design and maintain broadband networks to meet their communities? growing broadband needs. The changes also include specific funding to upgrade wireless networks. But our work is far from over. ALA is redoubling its efforts to ensure libraries are fully prepared to take advantage of the "new" E-rate program. "ALA strongly encourages libraries to apply for E-rate funds," Young added. "If you already apply, it?s time to think bigger and plan for the long-term broadband growth of your library. If you have not applied in recent years or at all, it?s time to think anew about the program. There are more options for increasing broadband capacity and options that can be tailored to the specific needs of your library?whether rural, suburban, or urban. The FCC opened the door for libraries, and it is up to us to walk through it. "ALA urges libraries to take a fresh look at the E-rate program," said Young. "The majority of libraries have a long way to go before they have the broadband capacity they need. In the next five years, ALA aims to double the amount of E-rate funding going to libraries." In the next coming months, ALA will work collaboratively with the Chief Officers of State Library Agencies (COSLA) and the Public Library Association (PLA) to support libraries with applying for the E-rate program. "Along with ALA, COSLA will be urging libraries to take a fresh look at the E-rate program," said COSLA President Kendall Wiggin. "The new E-rate program is a victory for our communities, but to make it meaningful, libraries must apply." "The FCC?s re-engineering of the E-rate program has created important new opportunities for libraries to build and transform the cutting-edge broadband networks necessary to support all our patrons including--students of all ages, business owners, and jobseekers?in local libraries," said PLA President Larry Neal. To receive alerts on ALA?s involvement in E-rate, follow the ALA Office for Information Technology Policy (OITP) on Twitter at @OITP and use the Twitter hashtag #libraryerate.

Without the open Internet, start-ups will never leave the garage,? *Wyden said. *?The FCC should adopt this proposal and ensure that monopolies are never allowed to slam the door American innovation.?* For more than 20 years, Sen. Wyden has fought to protect the open Internet and expand America?s digital economy. Over the past year he repeatedly urged the FCC to create new rules to protect net neutrality. He authored the Internet Tax Freedom Act, which protects the Internet from multiple and discriminatory taxes.

With the new year, we've had some changes in the Answerland Quality Team. Hillary Ostlund, who joined us in 2013, needs to step off the team due to the demands of her job. As Branch Manager of Hillsboro Public Library's Shute Park Branch, Hillary's focus is on serving her community and finding innovative ways to prove the value of the library in that community. We will miss her inspiring talks at the Notable Transcript presentations. We are happy to welcome Ann-Marie Anderson to the team. Ann-Marie has been working in public libraries for over ten years, after starting her career in law and university libraries. She is an Adult Services Librarian at the Tigard Public Library in Oregon, where her job includes reference work, collection development, programming, and outreach to homebound seniors. In her off-work time, she hikes with her dog and volunteers as website designer and administrator for a nonprofit organization involved in downtown revitalization in her adopted hometown of Dayton. Just a reminder that the Answerland Quality Team welcomes any and all nominations for notable transcripts for chats, emails, and texts. It?s easy: Just send an email to any member of the team with the question number (or a link to the transcript) of any chat, email, or text that you think stands out among the fine work that staffers do every day. The team will do the rest! Cheers, *The Answerland Quality Team* Ann-Marie Anderson, Tigard Public Library (annmarie at tigard-or.gov) Stephanie Debner, Mt.

The application window, when libraries file the forms that initiate their E-rate applications, closes on March 26 at midnight eastern time. In the next 43 days, libraries will be ?heads down? working through the E-rate rules to make sure the forms are filed correctly. Though the recent E-rate Modernization proceeding wrapped up at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), E-rate applicants are now navigating the changes that impact the current application year, and many questions have surfaced?from how to determine the library?s discount calculation to determining the ?main? library for Category 2 purposes. The Schools and Libraries Division of USAC has diligently provided updates and helpful tips through its newsletter and website to help applicants. To provide even more information during the critical filing period, the Public Library Association (PLA) and ALA?s Office for Information Technology Policy (OITP) have teamed up to provide a just in time webinar that offers important tips and last-minute information to help libraries work through the remaining days of the 2015 application window. While we?re all thinking about 2015, when the window closes on March 26, it?s not too soon to start planning for next year and thus we will also cover some key issues to keep in mind for 2016. We also will provide an overview of ALA?s ongoing outreach and support efforts to reach our goal of doubling library E-rate funding in the coming five years. Join Bob Bocher, OITP Fellow and seasoned E-rate expert, and me for this free E-rate webinar. Be sure to bring your questions (and sense of humor) on *Thursday, February 19, at 2 pm* *EST*. Register for the free webinar. The webinar will be archived. Hope you can join us. -- Suzanne L.

Brought forward into the new *Standards* with greater clarity is the emphasis on planning, assessment, and evaluation to sustain quality. The requirement to demonstrate how the results of evaluation are applied is now a culminating aspect of each of the standards. The five-plus-year *Standards *review process, documented at http://www.oa.ala.org/accreditation/, resulted in three drafts issued for comment. The final, approved version reflects suggestions from all sectors of the profession, including, most notably, employers of LIS program graduates, LIS program faculty, students, the ALA Council and Executive Board, and affiliated associations.

With the new year, we've had some changes in the Answerland Quality Team. Hillary Ostlund, who joined us in 2013, needs to step off the team due to the demands of her job. As Branch Manager of Hillsboro Public Library's Shute Park Branch, Hillary's focus is on serving her community and finding innovative ways to prove the value of the library in that community. We will miss her inspiring talks at the Notable Transcript presentations. We are happy to welcome Ann-Marie Anderson to the team. Ann-Marie has been working in public libraries for over ten years, after starting her career in law and university libraries. She is an Adult Services Librarian at the Tigard Public Library in Oregon, where her job includes reference work, collection development, programming, and outreach to homebound seniors. In her off-work time, she hikes with her dog and volunteers as website designer and administrator for a nonprofit organization involved in downtown revitalization in her adopted hometown of Dayton. Just a reminder that the Answerland Quality Team welcomes any and all nominations for notable transcripts for chats, emails, and texts. It?s easy: Just send an email to any member of the team with the question number (or a link to the transcript) of any chat, email, or text that you think stands out among the fine work that staffers do every day. The team will do the rest! Cheers, The Answerland Quality Team Ann-Marie Anderson, Tigard Public Library (annmarie at tigard-or.gov) Stephanie Debner, Mt.

We get the requirements from the testing organization and enforce them. We ask students to leave backpacks and bags with us and look over what they have with them. We usually have students take online tests in the staff work area, which has two computers. One the one occasion in which we were required to have a staff member in the room with the test taker, the staff member was able to quietly work on the other computer and be productive. There is usually enough to do to enable a staff member to make good use of some quiet computer time.

We do not charge for this service, but the local community college does. Therefore, we get a lot of foot traffic. We have two designated proctors at our library, the director and I. Because of the library layout and staff schedules, I do the bulk of the proctoring. After the student's initial phone call to see if we proctor exams, one of us will get all contact information and any verifications of librarian ability to proctor, set up for emails of test materials, fax numbers, student info and test requirements. The tests usually take place in the staff work room, if there is a free computer. Sometimes the student brings a laptop. We don't have a large staff work room, and it also doubles as storage, processing, and lunch room. We have to work around that as well when scheduling exams. It is not the ideal situation, but we make sure to protect the student's privacy and keep the back room quiet. My work space and desk are in the back room, where I catalog, so I am able to work as well as watch the student, put in passwords, collect test materials if needed for faxing, and insure the student gets a quiet room in which to work. The room isn't very big so they can't really get away with anything, I will see it. The only caveat I have is that library staff are aware someone is taking a test in the back room. I put a "Quiet" sign up on the door and close it so staff coming and going will modulate their voices and activities. The staff are very good about this! The students are quite appreciative that we offer this service at no charge, and they don't have to travel to college campuses in Redmond or Bend, 26 and 45+ miles away, respectively, to take their exams. The driving in snow or on black ice in the winter can be a deterrent and this service is helpful for students in a big way. I would recommend that any library with a rural or lower wage population consider offering this service. -- Jackie J.

Language is being drafted by both the Senate HELP Committee and the House Education & Workforce Committee in Washington, DC. Although the major points of contention are over student testing and teacher evaluation, this is the time to try to impact our Congressmen to add provisions for school libraries. Therefore, the next two months will be an opportune time for library and education advocates to contact lawmakers and advocate the American Library Association/American Association of School Librarians position: 1. Maintain dedicated federal funding for school libraries; 2. Staff school libraries with state-licensed school librarians, 3. Provide professional development funds to be used for recruiting and training school librarians Please contact House of Representatives member* Suzanne Bonamici (http://bonamici.house.gov/ )* who serves on the House Education and Workforce Committee. Ask her to ensure that the three bullet points above are included in the ESEA Reauthorization which is now being drafted. ________________________________ Related legislation FYI.... Senators Reed and Cochran introduce school library bill Last week, U.S. Senator Jack Reed (D-RI) joined Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Thad Cochran (R-MS) in introducing the SKILLS Act (S.312). Key improvements to the program include expanding professional development to include digital literacy, reading and writing instruction across all grade levels; focusing on coordination and shared planning time between teachers and librarians; and ensuring that books and materials are appropriate students with special learning needs, including English learners. -- Stephanie A.

It makes it easier to make sure our Code of Conduct is up to date without specifically enumerating each potential activity. For example, it?s already illegal to drink alcohol in public places so our policy doesn?t specifically state that you can?t drink beer in the library. Marijuana use would fall into the same category. Of course staff need to know what is illegal to enforce the policy! All this being said, I suspect we are in for an interesting transition period, statewide, as we enter the murky world of legal (on a state basis, if not federal) marijuana. It?s good to be thinking about it. I?m curious if libraries in Colorado or Washington have had any issues with this? I have not heard of any, but?

Message-ID: <810CC03BDFB8D94883767344C8B7EE2E5277B9EF@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local> [Institute of Education Sciences - Newsflash] Early High School Dropouts: What Are Their Characteristics? Approximately 2.7 percent of 2009 ninth-graders had dropped out of school by spring 2012 when most would have been in eleventh grade. This publication provides a snapshot of "early high school dropouts," those who dropped out of school between ninth and eleventh grade without earning a high school diploma or any alternative credential such as a GED. Key findings include: * Asian students dropped out at the lowest rate (0.3 percent), compared with White (2.1 percent), Black (4.3 percent), and Hispanic (3.5 percent) students. * Nearly 5 percent (4.7 percent) of students whose family socioeconomic status was in the lowest 20 percent had dropped out, compared with 0.6 percent of their peers in the highest 20 percent. This Data Point uses data from the High School Longitudinal Study of 2009 (HSLS:09) to examine the extent to which high school students drop out of school between the ninth and eleventh grades and how they vary by sex, race/ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. This Data Point is a product of the National Center for Education Statistics at the Institute of Education Sciences, part of the U.S. Department of Education.

LAKEVIEW, OR- After months of agony, the wait has ended! Wednesday morning the Records Management Team at Guinness World Records sent an email to Lake County Libraries informing them that their application for the Largest Stick Bomb record was successful. Participants in the 2014 Teen Summer Reading Program are now Guinness World Record Title Holders! "It was an exciting moment to read the email," said Elizabeth Christley, the Youth Library Assistant and coordinator of the event, "and even more exciting to tell the teens. They said I 'totally went fangirl.' It's true, I was very excited! We all are." Upon hearing the news, some participants gathered around Christley's desk for an impromptu viewing of the video that was made to verify the attempt. They then went to guinnessworldrecords.com to see their names listed for the Largest Stick Bomb. "It was fun to reflect on the achievement. Everyone worked together to do something that required focus and attention to detail. Local businesses and organizations supported us and made it possible for The Kinetic King (the inventor of the modern stick bomb) to join our attempt. This was a group effort, a community win," said Library Director Amy Hutchinson. A stick bomb is a kinetic experiment built by weaving craft sticks in a very precise manner so the energy is stored until "detonation" (pulling the end stick). Detonation sets off an "explosion" of sticks. It's a difficult device to build, fraught with opportunities for error. Humidity and carpet fuzz can freeze the whole thing. The attempt was the culmination of a summer full of science fun with the Lake County Libraries 2014 Teen Summer Reading Program, "Spark a Reaction." Participants in this World Record Largest Stick Bomb were Rebecca Banks, Eduardo Botello, Sarah Bowersox, Elizabeth Christley, Tim Fort AKA the Kinetic King, Amy Hutchinson, Alora Isham, Stacie Jones, Forest Pearson, Kamaryn Schneider, Danielle Thames, Jose Villalobos, and Addie Wampler. The stick bomb was activated on August 29, 2014 and 17,822 sticks snapped into the air beating the record of 13,274 held by Pallacanestro Vigodarzere - De Nicolao Stefano (Italy). Video of the detonation can be viewed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6B5648Gb_o along with videos of the build and clean up. Now the group is waiting for their official certificates to arrive in the mail. They also wonder if they will be one of the lucky record holders chosen to be featured in the Guinness World Records 2016 Diamond Edition to be released on September 1 of this year. ************ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

LAKEVIEW, OR- After months of agony, the wait has ended! Wednesday morning the Records Management Team at Guinness World Records sent an email to Lake County Libraries informing them that their application for the Largest Stick Bomb record was successful. Participants in the 2014 Teen Summer Reading Program are now Guinness World Record Title Holders! "It was an exciting moment to read the email," said Elizabeth Christley, the Youth Library Assistant and coordinator of the event, "and even more exciting to tell the teens. They said I 'totally went fangirl.' It's true, I was very excited! We all are." Upon hearing the news, some participants gathered around Christley's desk for an impromptu viewing of the video that was made to verify the attempt. They then went to guinnessworldrecords.com to see their names listed for the Largest Stick Bomb. "It was fun to reflect on the achievement. Everyone worked together to do something that required focus and attention to detail. Local businesses and organizations supported us and made it possible for The Kinetic King (the inventor of the modern stick bomb) to join our attempt. This was a group effort, a community win," said Library Director Amy Hutchinson. A stick bomb is a kinetic experiment built by weaving craft sticks in a very precise manner so the energy is stored until "detonation" (pulling the end stick). Detonation sets off an "explosion" of sticks. It's a difficult device to build, fraught with opportunities for error. Humidity and carpet fuzz can freeze the whole thing. The attempt was the culmination of a summer full of science fun with the Lake County Libraries 2014 Teen Summer Reading Program, "Spark a Reaction." Participants in this World Record Largest Stick Bomb were Rebecca Banks, Eduardo Botello, Sarah Bowersox, Elizabeth Christley, Tim Fort AKA the Kinetic King, Amy Hutchinson, Alora Isham, Stacie Jones, Forest Pearson, Kamaryn Schneider, Danielle Thames, Jose Villalobos, and Addie Wampler. The stick bomb was activated on August 29, 2014 and 17,822 sticks snapped into the air beating the record of 13,274 held by Pallacanestro Vigodarzere - De Nicolao Stefano (Italy). Video of the detonation can be viewed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6B5648Gb_o along with videos of the build and clean up. Now the group is waiting for their official certificates to arrive in the mail. They also wonder if they will be one of the lucky record holders chosen to be featured in the Guinness World Records 2016 Diamond Edition to be released on September 1 of this year. ************ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

A number of scenarios of concern occurred to me regarding lawful delivery for ?noncommercial purposes.? Below is a draft Q&A I?ve started to craft for staff guidance. I will need to run it by legal counsel when ready. Administering Oregon's Marijuana Law | Sean O'Day and Rob Bovett Powerpoint slides (pdf) http://ref.sdao.com/conference/2015/oday.pdf See page 14. Effective July 1, 2015, a person 21 or older can: ? Deliver to another person 21 or older, for noncommercial purposes, up to: o 1 ounce of homegrown marijuana; o 1 pound of solid homegrown marijuana products; and o 4 ? pounds of liquid homemade marijuana products. So Can people use the library as a space to trade/exchange their homegrown products? Probably not. It seems reasonable to interpret any kind of exchange of goods as ?commercial? activity, so that would be out. Since non-commercial sharing is legal, can someone set a up a little giveaway station at a library table? Probably not. Section 56 would appear to prohibit such open displays in common areas. Meas. 91, Section 56. Homegrown marijuana in public view prohibited. (1) No person may produce, process, keep, or store homegrown marijuana or homemade marijuana products if the homegrown marijuana or homemade marijuana products can be readily seen by normal unaided vision from a public place. Can someone use a tutor room for sharing (which would not be readily seen) and just post their availability hours or a contact number for appointments on the bulletin board? I haven?t yet found anything to prohibit it, so that scenario may need to be addressed by a policy.

We interpret "smoke" as smoking anything: cigarettes, joints, e-cigarettes, banana peels, whatever. We also forbid smoking and tobacco products anywhere on District property, including on the grounds. "Intoxicated" includes being under the influence of the wide range of legal and illegal drugs. It seems like the law already forbids smoking or consuming marijuana in public anyway. I agree with Kirsten that simple possession of products someone legally can have isn't really an issue. If it doesn't result in behavioral issues, it doesn't seem like it's worth worrying about. Cheers!

I mean--do you all check everyone's water bottles to make sure there isn't vodka in there? I am wondering what everyone is doing to provide patrons with relevant, useful solid information about cannabis use, medicinal cannabis use and the cannabis business. These are all questions librarians will be asked, and we should have answers that don't revolve around sending people to the DEA web site. People might want to think about serving human information needs, then keeping people out of the library and "What if they do this, or what if they do thats?" IMO Many US veterans find PTSD relief from medicinal cannabis. Will you try to keep them out of your library if they smoked or ingested cannabis hours before? How many hours/days must a person be sober before they can enter the library? What is the legal limit for being in the library? How will you be able to tell if someone's red eyes are from an allergy or from being baked? It seems like it would be a mistake to travel down the routes of trying to figure these things out and sticking to "illegal behavior." You patrons have information needs about cannabis--how will you help them with those needs?

As a public librarian, I am really not interested in banning or prohibiting use of the library or drugs. If I was interested, I would have chosen another profession. For instance, we finally got a medical marijuana book in our Reference section. Now, I would like to know of more general Reference materials to bring into the library for both recreational users and those concerned about marijuana and its usage. Or, what kind of programs, especially educational, are folks planning around this new law. I believe Max is presenting something at OLA but is anybody planning events for their actual library. In my experience, most behavioral issues I have to address in the library revolve around alcohol use and/or mental issues unrelated to drugs. The folks who stink like weed tend to be pretty nice. Maybe this law will be good for us. I guess what I'm saying is if we have to talk about pot in this forum, shouldn't the discussion be centered around what we will do for these users? I'm not really interested in discriminating against library users and I really don't care what drugs they use. I would rather not know and prefer to remain neutral. I also agree with Buzzy in that I do not understand why marijuana is being singled out as an issue for libraries. I think we should leave that to the police who I doubt are very concerned about it these days.

I mean--do you all check everyone's water bottles to make sure there isn't vodka in there? I am wondering what everyone is doing to provide patrons with relevant, useful solid information about cannabis use, medicinal cannabis use and the cannabis business. These are all questions librarians will be asked, and we should have answers that don't revolve around sending people to the DEA web site. People might want to think about serving human information needs, then keeping people out of the library and "What if they do this, or what if they do thats?" IMO Many US veterans find PTSD relief from medicinal cannabis. Will you try to keep them out of your library if they smoked or ingested cannabis hours before? How many hours/days must a person be sober before they can enter the library? What is the legal limit for being in the library? How will you be able to tell if someone's red eyes are from an allergy or from being baked? It seems like it would be a mistake to travel down the routes of trying to figure these things out and sticking to "illegal behavior." You patrons have information needs about cannabis--how will you help them with those needs?

Noncommercial exchanges of legal goods happen all the time in our buildings. As long as there's no illegal activity happening and it's not adversely affecting library operations. It seems like you'd just be making more work for yourself having to police it. Also, you might want to look into whether it's permissible to forbid people from posting legal marijuana-related content on your public bulletin boards. At least when I looked it up, publicly-accessible library bulletin boards fall under the same "limited public forum" case law as public meeting rooms. Cheers!

Effective July 1, 2015, a person 21 or older can: ? Deliver to another person 21 or older, for noncommercial purposes, up to: o 1 ounce of homegrown marijuana; o 1 pound of solid homegrown marijuana products; and o 4 ? pounds of liquid homemade marijuana products. So Can people use the library as a space to trade/exchange their homegrown products? Probably not. It seems reasonable to interpret any kind of exchange of goods as ?commercial? activity, so that would be out. Since non-commercial sharing is legal, can someone set a up a little giveaway station at a library table? Probably not. Section 56 would appear to prohibit such open displays in common areas. Meas. 91, Section 56. Homegrown marijuana in public view prohibited. (1) No person may produce, process, keep, or store homegrown marijuana or homemade marijuana products if the homegrown marijuana or homemade marijuana products can be readily seen by normal unaided vision from a public place. Can someone use a tutor room for sharing (which would not be readily seen) and just post their availability hours or a contact number for appointments on the bulletin board? I haven?t yet found anything to prohibit it, so that scenario may need to be addressed by a policy.

I was not responding directly to your post, Colin. Nor was I questioning your intentions. My intention was more to question the general direction of the conversation and to agree with others that marijuana should not be singled out when it comes to library policies. I do apologize to you and others if my post seemed judgmental as that was not my intention. Mostly, maybe a little selfishly, I was trying to nudge the conversation in a different direction. Obviously we are both coming at this topic from our specific positions; you as Director, me as librarian. I do not remember the exact nature of your post but I am sure your concerns are valid and I would never intentionally attempt to belittle them, especially in a public forum. So, please do not hesitate to post here in the future as it is my hope that others, like me, value all opinions posted here whether we agree with them or not. Also, I would hope Directors share these concerns with their librarians as they are often those who enforce these policies.

Information about how libraries are planning on not adding policies but think current policies work was good. The sharing of actual information about the law was helpful. Information on the OLA workshop and the discussion about there possibly being a need to improve and update our collections sure was a good reminder for me. In some ways it is kind of hard not to have a little fun with the subject. I mean, it's pot. We currently have issues with some illegal activities that happen in and around our buildings that we do actually need to address and, for me, drug dealing has been one of those issues. I just had to put in surveillance cameras at the small Siletz Library to discourage some of the drug dealing going on. People were basically blocking one of the main doors while waiting for their dealer to show up. This is the door right off of the parking lot. Many people were uncomfortable walking past the congregation of drug buyers. I really don't like surveillance cameras and we didn't put them inside the building. Within a week of putting in the cameras the drug group moved next door, behind the post office. The staff have also noticed a very significant decrease in littering outside the library, including a significant decrease in cigarette butts. This is a town with no city police and only occasional visits from the county sheriff's department. That patrolling is mostly on the highway side of the building and not the parking lot side. So, even though the actual drug dealer has been reported to the sheriff's department the problem was just getting worse all the time. The third broken library window was really the last straw. The thing is, probably very little of this relates to marijuana. The drugs being distributed are probably crack or heroin. Drugs are some of the many things we end up having to deal with and having a good discussion about how to keep staff and patrons safe and at the same time not judging people and their choices is a good discussion to have.

Both U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Chairman Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN) and U.S. House Education and the Workforce Committee Chairman John Kline (R-MN) have committed to passing a reauthorization bill for the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). In late January, Sen. Alexander released his discussion draft and received a lot of push back from the education community?.including school libraries because libraries were not well integrated into the legislation. There was no acknowledgement of the importance of effective school library programs. He declared that the Committee would pass the bill out of committee the last week of February. Tell Sen. Lamar Alexander to include school library program in ESEA reauthorization.(Photo by DOE PHOTO/Ken Shipp) Sen. Alexander then met with HELP Committee Ranking Member Sen. Patty Murray and they decided that they would make Sen. Alexander?s bill more bipartisan, which will take some time. So the committee marking up the bill is pushing the markup to March. But the House passed their bill out of committee, with no amendments for school libraries passing in the committee. Library advocates are calling their Senators about the SKILLS Act to see how much can be included for an effective school library program. This legislation has been so hard to pass?Congress has been trying since 2006 and they haven?t completed it yet?so we need to stay tuned. To learn more on ESEA legislative activities this Congress, read up on the SKILLS Act . Take action for school library funding now!

Please read below for information about Project ENABLE, a project that brings free, comprehensive online training to librarians nationwide on library and information services to people with disabilities. Cheers! Darci From: Ruth V Small [mailto:drruth at syr.edu] Subject: Project ENABLE Dear Librarians, My name is Ruth Small and I am professor and director of the Center for Digital Literacy at the School of Information Studies at Syracuse University. Since 2010, we have been funded by IMLS to create and extend Project ENABLE (Expanding Non-discriminatory Access By Librarians Everywhere), a project that brings free, comprehensive online training to librarians nationwide on library and information services to people with disabilities. The url for the site is: http://projectenable.syr.edu We recently launched our newly redesigned Project ENABLE training web site and expanded its target audience of school librarians to include public and academic librarians. In doing so, we believe we are providing a unique and innovative combination of features, including: * A site design based on instructional and motivational theories and models and pilot tested several times during its development. The site consists of five learning modules covering multiple topics and sub-topics. They include: o Disability Awareness (person-first language and sensitivity, students' perspective (videos by students with disabilities), experiencing disability (covering autism spectrum disorder, Asperger's syndrome, ADHD, dyslexia, hearing and vision impairments, physical disabilities). o Disability Law & Policy (Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, IEPs, Americans with Disabilities Act). o Creating an Accessible Library (Universal Design, evaluating your library's accessibility, library accessibility action plan, facilities design, collection development, library policies and procedures, leadership and advocacy). o Planning Inclusive Programs and Instruction (motivating diverse learners, Universal Design for Learning, differentiated instruction, collaboration, inclusive programs or lessons with examples, assessment). o Assistive Technology in Libraries (what is assistive technology, assistive technology for every disability, implementing and evaluating assistive technology, web accessibility). * Training that is customized according to a type of library setting (school, academic, public) and location (state). That means that, for example, a school librarian from Florida who registers for Project ENABLE training will automatically receive information most relevant to a school library setting with any state-specific information included. * The option for librarians to register as individuals or for administrators or trainers to register a group or class. So, for example, if a public library director wishes to have all of the librarians in the library system participate in the training, he or she can register them as a group. The system will automatically generate a code for that group which each of those trainees then use when they register. The administrator can then monitor the progress and achievement of the group and each individual within the group throughout the training. * The opportunity to take an Initial Assessment, a 30-item, multiple choice test that assesses knowledge in all of the areas covered in the training. The items are randomly generated from a pool of over 300 items so it can be retaken, if necessary, with little chance of getting the exact same items. Feedback on accuracy of responses is immediate. There is also a Final Assessment that the trainee can take after completing the training modules, allowing comparison to the Initial Assessment to demonstrate learning success. Each training module has a brief quiz (5 multiple choice items, randomly generated from a pool of 50+ items) at the end of the module that tests the trainee only on the content within that module. Again, the trainee receives immediate feedback on the accuracy of responses and can retake a quiz multiple times with little chance of getting exactly the same questions. * A variety of formats including text, videos, graphics, photos, audio files, links to relevant sites, games, interactive activities, evaluation checklists (e.g., accessibility of the library facility), and fill-in templates for creating action plans for ensuring an accessible library and designing inclusive lesson plans. We've even included a facilities redesign exercise that provides a graphic representation of a library floor plan with furniture that can be manipulated to help in redesigning the library to make it accessible to all users. * A "My Ideas" feature allows the trainee to take notes or jot down ideas while progressing through the training. These notes and ideas, as well as test and quiz scores, are saved to the trainee's password-protected personal page called "My Account" for reference at any time. * A certificate of achievement, available (and printable) to any trainee successfully completing all of the training and assessments. This certificate may serve as evidence of completion of approximately 20 hours of professional development. Thank you so much for helping us "spread the word" about this free and important training web site for librarians.

The certificate should be 8.5" x 11", and should have blank outer margins of at least .25" on all sides. ? EPS files, like the ones found on the CSLP DVD, can be scaled to any size in your docu?ment without losing resolution. These files can be manipulated in illustration programs such as Microsoft Paint or Adobe Illustrator. ? TIFF and JPEG files can be manipulated in any photo editing program such as Adobe Photoshop (another example?). Avoid increasing these images by more than 20% of their original size. If you need an image in a different format and you cannot convert the image on your own, please email your request to the CSLP at info at cslpreads.org. ? Download the State of Oregon seal from http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/youthsvcs/oregon.srp.certificate.aspx#Download___Print_Certificates, and use it in your design. ? When converting your design to a PDF, select a high quality print setting (in particular, images should be at a minimum of 300dpi). ? A good rule of thumb for double-checking the resolution or print quality of your design: Open your PDF in Acrobat, and zoom in at 400%. If the images and type still look smooth (not grainy or pixelated), your design should print nicely. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Here at Driftwood, we have added several books to our non-fiction collection on small-scale cultivation, hydroponic cultivation, and on medical uses for marijuana specifically. Even prior to the passage of the bill legalizing it for recreational use, we had a number of patrons interested in its medical use. We've been trying to find a magazine or journal that's reliably published and covers these aspects, because of community interest, but we've been striking out. Anyone have any suggestions? I'd be happy to share the items we've recently purchased, as well. These do tend to be high-theft items, so we're watching for that aspect of it. I'm curious whether its legalization will have the side effect of less theft of the items related to marijuana and cultivation. As we move toward July, I'm also considering having an informational session on "What legalization means for you" for the public, since we've had a lot of questions about how exactly this will affect our residents.

[feedly] Message-ID: ---- *Last call: Comment on draft national policy agenda for libraries by 2-27!* // *District Dispatch* Among the hundreds of powerful connections and conversations that took place at the 2015 American Library Association (ALA) Midwinter Meeting , librarians of all backgrounds began commenting on a draft national policy agenda for libraries. They asked how libraries can secure additional funding at a time of government budget cuts. Several noted and appreciated the inclusion of federal libraries, and most people specifically welcomed the premise of all libraries as linked together into a national infrastructure. And many saw potential for the national agenda to serve as a template for state- and local-level policy advocacy. The draft agenda is the first step towards answering the questions ?What are the U.S. library interests and priorities for the next five years that should be emphasized to national decision makers?? and ?Where might there be windows of opportunity to advance a particular priority at this particular time?? Outlining key issues and proposals is being pursued through the Policy Revolution! Initiative , led by the ALA Office for Information Technology Policy (OITP) and the Chief Officers of State Library Agencies (COSLA). A Library Advisory Committee?which includes broad representation from across the library community?provides overall guidance to the national effort. The three-year initiative, funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, has three major elements: to develop a national public policy agenda, to initiate and deepen national stakeholder interactions based on policy priorities, and build library advocacy capacity for the long-term. ?We are asking big questions, and I?m really encouraged by the insightful feedback we?ve received in face-to-face meetings, emails and letters,? said OITP Director Alan Inouye. ?I hope more people will share their perspectives and aspirations for building the capacity libraries of all kinds need to achieve shared national policy goals.? The current round of public input closes *Friday, February 27, 2015*. Send *your* comments, questions and recommendations now to the project team at oitp[at]alawash[dot]org. The draft agenda provides an umbrella of timely policy priorities and is understood to be too extensive to serve as the single policy agenda for any given entity in the community. Rather, the goal is that various library entities and their members can fashion their national policy priorities under the rubric of this national public policy agenda. >From this foundation, the ALA Washington Office will match priorities to windows of opportunity and confluence to begin advancing policy priorities?in partnership with other library organizations and allies with whom there is alignment?in mid-2015. ?In a time of increasing competition for resources and challenges to fulfilling our core missions, libraries and library organizations must come together to advocate proactively and strategically,? said COSLA President Kendall Wiggin. ?Sustainable libraries are essential to sustainable communities.?

My guess is the demand for items covering growing/cultivation will definitely rise come July. We just got in the book Mr. Macias mentioned earlier, Cannabis Pharmacy. Thanks for the review, Max! It can definitely be used for more than a medical reference. My guess, is we'll be seeing more magazines, and maybe journals, real soon. I wouldn't count on the theft-rate going down as we still have to keep any eye on our mushroom hunting books and most folks around here seem to deal with the legal edibles. As for informational sessions, I am wondering what local entities to contact. Even though OCLC will be regulating laws and retail, I'm not sure they are the best source for this type of program. If not one source, I'm thinking maybe a panel of folks engaging in an informational/Q&A type session covering different aspects such as retail, medical, and legal. So far, our residents, that are concerned, seem to be worried about how legalization will affect the under-21 population. Anyone planning programs around this new law? Please share.

OLCC recreational (& medical?) marijuana meetings (Listening Sessions) are reported on pretty well on their website and on Oregon news sites. But I'd sum it up this way: Prepare for a Rumsfeldian July 1, with some known knowns and many unknown unknowns. Our elected officials and department administrators do know what Measure 91 says should or could happen, but it?s a tough call and I?m glad I?m not in their shoes. I don't think the (OAR) regulations have been published yet, and maybe can?t be until all the OLCC "Listening Sessions" are over - and maybe not even until the Legislature finishes up with HB 2074 & 2134, and possibly other related bills. Legislative actions would affect what and how OLCC regulations would be drafted. So ... bottom line, we need to check with library?s legal counsel before changing written behavior policies and enforcement practices. Laura P.S. to original poster: I adored ?The Martian?!

I am the proctor of record, I have one staff person who shares the bulk of the proctoring with me, and I occasionally farm appointments out to other colleagues if schedules or illness make it necessary. The room we place the student in is within our staff work area, and we see the computer screen through the window in the door. I've occasionally seen that requirement--to be in the same room as the student--but I ignore it since our setup allows us to monitor the student without them knowing when we peek in. (That said, I do remember once or twice when I bought my laptop into the room and worked while the exam went on. I don't remember why I decided that was warrented.) I think if your physical arrangement allows for unobserved monitoring, you are good; if it doesn't, the proctor should be in the room with the student. We do have info on the web about proctoring, for what it's worth. Janeanne Do the services you provide at your library include test proctoring? If so, what guidelines have you put in place for staff proctoring tests? We occasionally receive requests, most of which are pretty easy to accommodate, but occasionally the test requires that the proctor remain in the room for the entirety of the test -- which doesn't seem like a very good use of staff time. Any thoughts? ---- Janeanne Rockwell-Kincanon Associate Professor, Public Services Librarian Library and Media Services Western Oregon University 345 N.

Reauthorization of legislation of this nature will determine federal education policy for the coming decade and it is imperative that dedicated funding for school library programs be included. On January 29, 2015, Senators Reed (D-RI), Cochran (R-MI), and Whitehouse (D-RI) introduced S. 312, the Strengthening Kids? Interest in Learning and Libraries Act (SKILLS Act), that would improve students? literacy skills and readiness for higher education and careers through effective school library programs. ALA is currently working with Sen. Whitehouse (D-RI) on an amendment for the HELP Committee markup that would add provisions from the SKILLS Act to ESEA to provide dedicated funding for effective school library programs. We need you to contact both Senators from your state at their DC office and let them know how critical school libraries are in improving our education system. Ask them to support dedicated funding for effective school library programs under ESEA by co-sponsoring S.312. Here is the link to ALA?s Engage system that will provide you more information, talking points, direct information on your senators.
