This group includes primarily young adults who do not have children, do not live in their own home, or do not have sufficient income to become fully independent in their early to late 20s. Emerging adults do not see themselves as adolescents, but many of them also do not see themselves entirely as adults. Four librarians ( Laura Liang, Jessi Snow, Vikki Terrile and Julie Winkelstein) are researching this age demographic in library settings and looking at how this age group is being served in terms of the programs, services, if there is a specific librarian assigned to work with this population (teen, adult or emerging adult) and how the library system is sharing and promoting this service area. We are beginning our research with a survey, to gauge how many libraries/library systems are doing this kind of work. We then plan to speak to some of those libraries/library systems to have a more in depth conversation about the services and the librarian(s) that provide the services. Ultimately the goal is to end with a research paper in a peer review publication. We appreciate your input as it helps us capture the work that is being done for this population. Please respond to the survey in Survey Monkey by January 30. https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/LWL8NLD Thank you for taking the time to participate in this survey!

REGISTER ONLINE Registration rates and deadlines for Online Northwest 2015 are as follows: * Early bird registration $100 (ends January 9, 2015) * Regular registration $130 * 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. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Cloonan offers students and professionals an overview of longevity, reversibility, enduring value, and authenticity of information preservation. Each section includes historical works that form the basis of contemporary thinking and practices, readings from a variety of fields that are primarily concerned with the preservation of cultural heritage, and hard to find publications that shed new light on how to approach contemporary problems.

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 Met in Salem on December 5th The Oregon State Library Board of Trustees met on Friday, December 5, 2014 at the Oregon State Library. The Board heard the appeal of staff decisions for Ready to Read grant awards, conducted a post-transaction review of agency head financial transactions, elected members to the Oregon Talking Book and Braille Library Advisory Council and the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) Advisory Council, and reviewed the quarterly board survey from the Governor's Office. The Board also approved the proposal to transition the Answerland virtual reference service from Multnomah County Library to the Oregon State Library. The next meeting of the State Library Board will be on Friday, February 13th at the Oregon State Library in Salem. State Library Board at Full Strength On December 9, 2014, the Senate confirmed the Governor's appointment of three new members of the Oregon State Library Board. The new members are Ann Malkin from Bend, Jennie Tucker from Union County, and Leslie Hicks from Independence. The new members attended the December 5th meeting as guests since they had not yet been confirmed by the Senate. Their first meeting as Board members will be February 13th at the State Library. Look for profiles of all our Board members in upcoming issues of Letter to Libraries Online.

Talking Books Provides Access to The Residue Years by Mitchell S. Jackson When the Multnomah Reads coordinator of Multnomah County Library asked the Oregon Talking Book and Braille Library if our collection included The Residue Years by Mitchell S. Jackson in August, we did not have the title. We contacted the Collection Development Coordinator for the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (NLS) in Washington D.C. and asked if it was available. The title was not being considered for recording, but, at our urging they committed to either option the commercial audio or record it. By October, they learned that the commercial recording was not a possibility so they immediately put the book into production. We learned last week that the title is ready for our Multnomah County patrons on BARD (Braille and Audio Reading Download). We have worked successfully in the past with NLS to expedite a recording for a Community Reads program. In 2010, we brought Phillip Margolin's Fugitive to Talking Books, The Help in 2009, and in 2008 we asked them to expedite Diana Abu-Jaber's Origin and Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson. Oregon Talking Book and Braille Library wants to help your print-disabled library patrons participate in your Community Reads events. Email us, call us, send us a letter...tell us your selected titles as soon as you select them. If we can, we'll contact NLS and request those books on Talking Books audio for our mutual patrons. We'll send letters to every one of our patrons who lives in YOUR service area letting them know about your library's Community Reads event. We will make sure that all requests for copies are satisfied...we can make as many simultaneous copies as we need to. To give an example: we have 1,400 registered Talking Books users in Multnomah County alone. We will probably make about 80 copies of The Residue Years to circulate to those folks in the next couple of months. Letters About Literature Elementary and Middle School Entries Due January 15th [LALLogo]Letters About Literature is a national reading and writing contest sponsored by the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress and by Oregon's equivalent at the State Library. Students write letters to an author explaining how that author's book changed their way of thinking about the world or themselves. There are three competition levels: Level I for 4th-6th graders, Level II for 7th-8th graders, and Level III for 9th-12th graders. Oregon's three winners - one from each competition level - will go on to compete nationally. Entry forms and guidelines are available online. All Level III entries were due in mid-December of 2014, and Level I and Level II entries by January 15, 2015. In 2014, about 1,040 students in Oregon entered the contest, and 1 in 8 received cash prizes or bookstore gift certificates. These prizes are made possible through support from the Oregon Reading Association and three divisions of the Oregon Library Association: Oregon Association of School Libraries, Children's Services Division, and Oregon Young Adult Network. For more information, please visit the website or contact Jennifer Maurer, coordinator of Letters About Literature activities in Oregon. Thanks for passing along the information and encouraging participation, including for homeschooling families. Please note that this is likely the last year the State Library will coordinate the program because of changes within the agency. State Library staff are working to find a new home for Letters About Literature. However, if no organization takes it on, this could be the program's last year in Oregon. New Library Services and Technology Act Advisory Council Members Elected The OSL Board of Trustees met December 5, 2014 and elected new members to the LSTA Advisory Council. New members are Melissa Maxwell from Lakeview, representing library users; Dana Campbell from Corvallis, representing public libraries; Jim Tindall from The Dalles, representing school libraries; and Jonathan Cain from Eugene, representing underserved/underrepresented. They will start their three-year term on January 1, 2015. Contact information can be found on the Library Support and Development Services webpage. Oregon Book Awards Promotion to Public Libraries is Changing Since 1995, the Oregon Center for the Book has worked with Literary Arts, Inc. to promote the Oregon Book Awards in libraries. During the month before the Awards were presented, the Oregon Center for the Book shipped copies of the finalists' titles (which are donated by the publishers) to 25 public libraries and encouraged libraries to engage their patrons in the Oregon Book Awards through local programming. In 2015, the Oregon Center for the Book will no longer be a program of the State Library, and thus will not ship finalists' titles to public libraries. Literary Arts may continue to ship finalists' titles to some libraries, but will likely make changes to the program. The State Library will continue to provide a communications link between Literary Arts and the library community regarding the Oregon Book Awards.

Please don't tell me we can't ban/bar/exclude patrons from our libraries because of excessive body odor (see attached link). I'm just wondering if any libraries have policies, or any cities have codified an ordinance that covers this issue. Are any of your libraries fragrance free? Policies? As a side note: I talked to this patron and he "solved" the problem by dousing himself with AXE cologne. I have one of the strongest stomachs known to mankind. This guy could gag a corpse. Patrons are complaining, staff are in a quandary as to how to proceed. Yes, he has an apartment with a working shower - I know because I offered to purchase passes to our rec center so he could shower. He told me he didn't need them.

Santa Barbara, CA: Libraries Unlimited. 978-1-61069-554-1. *This book appears to be about makerspaces for upper elementary children, 'tweens, teens, and adults. Libraries of all sizes and resource levels are finding ways to support community innovation and creativity through maker programming-and successful programs don't require dedicating an entire area of the library to makerspace activities or sophisticated technologies such as 3D printers. Make It Here: Inciting Creativity and Innovation in Your Library provides a complete, step-by-step guide for starting a makerspace program at your library and follows through with instructions for operation and building on your success. This book takes you step-by-step through starting your maker program-from finding the right "makerspace mix," making a plan, and working with staff to establishing funding and support, launching your makerspace, and evaluating and refining your programs. The authors provide guidance based on their personal experiences in creating and developing maker programs in their libraries as well as feedback and lessons learned from library makers across the country. You'll see how easy it can be to bring their ideas to life in ways that will empower your community, and be encouraged to be bold and think outside of the box when imagining the possibilities.

The Free Library of Philadelphia had wording similar to this in the Standards of Acceptable Behavior when I worked there -- I'm trying to run down the actual wording. I think actually going "fragrance free" in the way that it usually means -- no perfumed products at all -- would likely be prohibitive in a public building. I don't think it could be enforced.

"Personal care product" helps address cases when patrons come in wafting a scent or actually spray themselves with a deoderant product or perfume while in the library. "Personal belongings" covers everything from cat-sprayed backpacks & clothing, to hot food, incense & stink bombs. It is subjective but our general guidelines are: . Scent easily detectable from 5+ feet away. . Scent remains present in area several minutes after individual has left. When two or more staff confirm a scent meets either/both conditions, enforcement is warranted. It's still always awkward but it helps to explain a) that to create the broadest possible welcoming space, the library needs to maintain a neutral atmosphere, b) that includes control not only of noise but air quality in and around our buildings because quite a few library users have allergies, chemical sensitivities or respiratory ailments, c) the policy applies to strong scents in general, not just one person's "scent display". ----------------------------------------- Perry Stokes | Library Director Baker County Library District | 2400 Resort St | Baker City, OR 97814 o: 866-297-1239 | m: 541.403.0450 | f: 541-523-9088 | e: director at bakerlib.org From: Libs-Or [mailto:libs-or-bounces at listsmart.osl.state.or.us] On Behalf Of Buzzy Nielsen Sent: Monday, January 05, 2015 2:22 PM To: libs-or at listsmart.osl.state.or.us Subject: Re: [Libs-Or] Body Odor Policy We don't have anything regarding fragrances, but we do have a line in our Code of Conduct about personal hygiene: "While on library properties, you may not ...

Our policy is attached-see item 21. We do currently have an exclusion on file for a patron with disruptive body odor. The individual's body order disrupted others and also permeated the books she checked out. When the odorous materials were returned to the library, they had to be discarded-and the rest of the bookdrop had to be quarantined while it "aired out." Canby's previous director met with the patron to point out the behavior and explain the policy, giving the patron an opportunity to address the issue. The disruptive body odor continued, so the patron was presented with an exclusion notice and asked to sign it. Although the exclusion notice threatens a police response if the patron returns to the library, staff have been trained to remind the patron of the exclusion and escort her to the door, instead of involving the police. However, to my knowledge the patron has not returned to the library. Hope this helps, Melissa Melissa J. Kelly, MLIS Library Director Canby Public Library 292 N.

ISBN: 978-0-8389-1267-6 Description At the Craighead County Jonesboro Public Library in Arkansas, Bizzle and his colleagues defied common practices by using creative risk-taking in marketing and outreach to transform their library into a dynamic institution that continues to grow and thrive. Here they recount their story, sharing techniques for success alongside a provocative marketing philosophy that will spur libraries to move beyond their comfort zone. Topics include the importance of branding, dynamic web sites and social media, stakeholder engagement, and marketing campaigns.

The annual grants fund up to $20,000 in matching funds for preservation projects. The Preserving Oregon Grant can fund preservation of historic buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Work may include non-maintenance preservation like window repair, roof work, foundation projects, and plumbing and electrical needs. It can also fund significant work contributing toward identifying, preserving and/or interpreting archaeological sites. The Diamonds in the Rough grants help restore or reconstruct the facades of buildings that have been heavily altered over the years. The grant's purpose is to return the buildings to their historic appearance and potentially qualify them for historic register designation (local or national). Preservation office staff is happy to talk with applicants about potential grant projects and review applications. There will be grant workshops on project planning and grant writing. A two-hour workshop will be in Salem on Feb. 3. A one-hour webinar will be available on Feb. 5. To learn more about the grants and workshops visit www.oregonheritage.org or contact Kuri Gill at Kuri.Gill at oregon.gov or 503-986-0685.

The Oregon Library Association is offering a full day leadership training at the 2015 OLA Conference in Eugene -- Leading From Any Position: Creating Learning Libraries in Five Easy Lessons -- that you can register for now. This preconference is being planned by the OLA Leadership Task Force. OLA is committed to supporting the building of leadership skills in its members. The preconference is open to all library workers. Becky Schreiber and John Shannon, facilitators of the well regarded PNLA Leads! Leadership Institute, will guide participants in exploring leadership from all positions in libraries. Their results have been recognized by library staff who embrace the concepts and implement the disciplines of Peter Senge?s Learning Organizations. This preconference will examine innovative ideas and provide support for participants? efforts to lead in our librarie and beyond. What can a leadership training do for you? Read this testimony and more on OLA?s Leadership Taskforce webpages. [image: testimony.jpg]Angela Weyrens, Multnomah County Library ?Although it has been close to 8 years since I participated in the PNLA Leadership Institute, I carry the talisman of the self-awareness and confidence I started to build there with me every day. Becky Schreiber and John Shannon were amazing guides on the road to successful leadership. They didn't care about my official position or level of education- only that I had the potential to help shape the future of libraries and I was willing to participate in some deep and painful reflection to do so. They helped to direct my passion for our institution down a leadership path. I am the leader I am in part because they helped me see who and what I could be.? In OLA?s experiential preconference, we will: - Explore the concepts of Leading from Any Position; to take initiative and garner influence regardless of organizational authority - Practice practical applications of Peter Senge?s five learning disciplines - Apply the disciplines to each participant?s unique situation - Plan strategies for using the concepts to create a collaborative culture - Experience the fun of creating together, treating ambiguity as an opportunity for group innovation For more information about the preconference, including the agenda, visit OLA?s Leadership Taskforce webpage .

Bureau of Police in Morristown, NJ related to the rules of behavior of the Morristown Public Library. The courts held that libraries can, indeed have rules about offensive body odor. I would add that they should be applied even-handedly to the guy who smells like a latrine and the matron who is doused in too much perfume. There is a bit more info on the Kreimer case on Mary Minnow's library law site, as well as other good info on the case law that applies to library behavior rules. As you can imagine, we deal with this regularly at MCL. Our behavior rules say: *Any person who violates rules 24 and 25 while in or on library premises will be excluded from the premises until the problem is corrected.* 24. Entering library buildings with bare feet or a bare chest. 25. Disturbing others because of offensive body odor. Here at MCL we keep a handout ready that we can give patrons we have to exclude for this reason. It has information about free resources where they can bathe and get clean clothes. I don't know what you have available in Newport but if you have such resources it provides compassionate way to deal with this type of situation. That said, we occasionally have someone who can't or won't clean up, and in those cases you do not have to readmit them. Hang in there!

A small but growing number of libraries make 3D printers available as a library service. Library 3D printers may not be able to make you a pizza (yes, that?s possible) or operate in zero gravity, but they are being used to do some pretty amazing things in their own right. Library users are building functioning prosthetic limbs, creating product prototypes and making educational models for use in classwork. While 3D printing technology is advancing at a meteoric pace, policymakers are just beginning to develop frameworks for its use. This presents the library community with an exciting opportunity?as providers of 3D printing services to the public, we can begin to shape the policy that coalesces around this technology in the years to come. To advance this work, ALA?s Office for Information Technology Policy (OITP) today released ?Progress in the Making: 3D Printing Policy Considerations through the Library Lens ,? a report that examines numerous policy implications of 3D printing, including those related to intellectual property, intellectual freedom and product liability. The report seeks to provide library professionals with the knowledge they need to craft 3D printer user policies that minimize liability risks while encouraging users to innovate, learn and have fun. The report states: ?As this technology continues to take off, library staff should continue to encourage patrons to harness it to provide innovative health care solutions, launch business ventures and engage in creative learning. In order to do so, library staff must have a clear understanding of basic 3D printer mechanics; the current and potential future uses of 3D printers inside and outside of library walls; and the economic and public policy considerations regarding 3D printing.? ALA?s Office for Intellectual Freedom contributed a piece to the report entitled, ?Intellectual Freedom and Library Values,? which offers guidance to library professionals seeking to craft a 3D printer acceptable use policy that accords with the fundamental library value of free expression. Additionally, Tomas A. Lipinski, dean and professor at University of Wisconsin?Milwaukee?s School of Information, provides a sample warning notice that libraries may use with patrons to demonstrate awareness of the legal issues involved in the use of 3D printing technologies in libraries. The report was released as part of the OITP Perspectives series of short publications that discuss and analyze specialized policy topics. It is the second publication in ALA?s ?Progress in the Making? series, an effort to elucidate the policy implications of 3D printing in the library context. The first document was a tip sheet jointly released by OITP, the Public Library Association and United for Libraries. http://www.districtdispatch.org/2015/01/oitp-releases-report-exploring-policy-implications-3d-printing/ -- *Diedre Conkling* *Lincoln County Library DistrictP.O.

We are asking libraries and genealogy societies to sign up in advance with Kate McGann kate.e.mcgann at state.or.us The Willamette Valley Genealogical Society (WVGS) has been housing selected genealogical resources at the Genealogical Resources Center (GRC) at the Oregon State Library (OSL) through a partnership that began in 1987. These materials were purchased and acquired by WVGS. They are WVGS materials and will be moved to the WVGS new location which is expected to be the Salem Public Library. The partnership between the State Library and WVGS has ended, although the State Library will store the WVGS materials until May 2015. Genealogy materials added to the Oregon State Library collection prior to 1987 that meet established collection development guidelines will remain in the State Library collection. Materials that are housed at OSL but belong to other organizations will not be removed from the collection. Materials that do not meet the mission of the Collections of the Oregon State Library will be weeded from the collection, which is standard practice with library materials. Weeded items will follow the OSL collection disposal process and stipulations in the Memorandum of Understanding between the Oregon State Library and the Willamette Valley Genealogical Society. Disposition of these genealogy materials is being coordinated with WVGS and the genealogical community in Oregon. Materials are being offered to genealogy organizations and other libraries. If you have questions about the material offering process please contact Kate McGann at kate.e.mcgann at state.or.us.

It could even be a program or initiative that has served teens in your area particularly well. We are particularly interested in testimony from your local teens.

Eligibility requirements are as follows: 1. The individual, library, or organization shall reside or operate principally in Oregon. 2. Only living persons may be considered for the award. 3. If a program or initiative is being nominated, it must have occurred within the previous or current year of nomination. *Preference shall be given to nominees who are supported by a letter of recommendation written and submitted by a teen.

The winner will get a plaque and a donation up to $100 for their library or service that they provide to teens.

The State Library and OLA's Children's Services Division are talking about how we can better support public libraries working with their regional Early Learning Hub. To get started, we need a little information from libraries. I created an online survey to collection that information and sent the link to the survey to all public library directors. Below is the email that I sent to your library director. If you are working with your regional Early Learning Hub, I recommend you ask your library director about the email they received (see below) and work with them to decide which one person from your library should complete the survey. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Katie Email subject: [PL-Directors] Libraries and Early Learning Hubs: information needed by 2/1 Dear Public Library Directors, The State Library and OLA's Children's Services Division are talking about how we can better support public libraries working with their regional Early Learning Hub. To get started, we need a little information from libraries. Please have one person at your library complete this online survey by February 1, 2015: [URL to survey was sent to library directors only to ensure one person at each library completes the survey.] If your library is not working with your Early Learning Hub, the survey will take you less than 5 minutes to complete because you will only have to answer two questions. If your library is working with your Early Learning Hub, the survey will take you at least 10 minutes to complete. Most are multiple choice questions so shouldn't take you much time, but there are five optional open-ended questions at the end that will take you as much or as little time as you choose to spend on them. I will be sending an email out on the kids-lib, OYAN, and libs-or listservs to let your staff know you have the link to this survey. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Boulder, CO: Rowman &Littlefield. 978-1-4422-2967-9. *This book appears to be about makerspaces for adults, teens, 'tweens, and upper elementary children. A "makerspace" is an area in a library where users can use tools and equipment to design, build, and create all sorts of different things. It may be a dedicated room or a multipurpose space in which a collection of raw materials and resources can be utilized as desired. Projects range from prototyping product designs with 3D printers, to programming robots, to creating art out of recycled items. This practical guide will help librarians * develop, budget for, and implement makerspaces; * write grant proposals for funding; * and understand the mindset behind the maker movement in order to meet patron needs. Makerspaces: A Practical Guide for Librarians also includes useful case studies, descriptions of equipment and new technologies, and models for planning and assessing projects.

As a national nonprofit organization comprised of doctors and nurses who encourage family reading habits, Reach Out and Read has deep and broad relationships within the medical community. Prescription for Success will leverage these connections to explore new ways doctors and their staff can collaborate with museums and libraries. During the first six months of the project, Reach Out and Read will survey and document current state and local partnerships between Reach Out and Read and libraries and museums, and create an online toolkit of best literacy practices. This toolkit will serve as a valuable resource for medical clinics, libraries, and museums. During the second half of the project, Reach Out and Read will facilitate and further develop statewide library and museum collaborations in Colorado, Connecticut, and South Carolina. ?We are grateful for this new support from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, and look forward to collaborating on our Prescription for Success project,? said Reach Out and Read Executive Director Brian Gallagher. ?We are confident that the partnership between Reach Out and Read doctors and staff, and museum and library leadership, will lead to a cohesive delivery of early education services for families. By reading together more often, and leveraging community resources, parents will help children build the early language skills needed for academic success.? ?All too often, children who enter kindergarten behind their peers never catch up, and they are at a much greater risk of failing in school. In order to bring about change, all sectors of communities need to focus on this problem,? said Maura Marx, IMLS Deputy Director for Library Services. ?Prescription for Success brings together two sectors that can have a profound impact on the lives of young children, and we are excited to be supporting this important work.? About Reach Out and Read Reach Out and Read is the evidence-based, national nonprofit organization that promotes early brain development, literacy, and school readiness by giving new books to children and advice to parents about the importance of reading aloud at regular pediatric checkups. Nationwide, Reach Out and Read's 20,000 doctors and nurses serve 4 million children annually at 5,000 hospitals, health centers, and clinics in all 50 states, with a focus on serving families in low-income communities. For more information, please visit www.reachoutandread.org.

It is backed-up by an over-sized, hand-lettered calendar which is kept at the circulation desk. The desk calendar is updated monthly.

All of our fields struggle with unstable budgets and dynamic technology, so learning to think and act in terms of projects is critical-it can be the difference between turning an idea into a successful, resourced initiative or not. Led by representatives from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the webinars will focus on the key elements of a project plan: the idea, the audiences, funding options, a work plan, an evaluation, and more. We will also discuss how to critically examine your project ideas, asking, Is it fundable? Valuable? Sustainable? And if not, what could you do differently? While learning these fundamentals, you will also benefit from the insights and experiences shared by your fellow participants from across archives, library, and museum institutions. Presenters and Moderators Robert Horton, Associate deputy director, IMLS Sarah Fuller, Program specialist, IMLS February 5 Key Elements of a Project Plan This session will describe how careful planning leads to more successful projects. We will cover how to develop an idea, define your audience, look at funding options, do an environmental scan, assess your resource capacity and needs, and develop a project scope and schedule for implementation. Attendees will be invited to use the two weeks between webinars to outline a project idea based on these key principles. Submitted project plans will be reviewed by webinar moderators with individual feedback provided for each submission. February 19 Evaluating Your Project Plan In this highly interactive second session, we will use sample project ideas and case studies to look at how we can assess the strength of a project plan before it is implemented. We will also discuss other project management resources and where to learn more about the topic. How Will I Benefit? After participating in this two-part webinar, attendees will be better able to: ? Why project management is a critical skill ? What it takes to turn an idea into a fundable project ? Where to learn more about project management ? How to evaluate staff and institutional capacities to manage a project Who Should Attend This topic is relevant to all organizational roles: you may be currently managing or soon will be managing a project, or you may be a contributor to a current or future project.

The American Library Association (ALA) Intellectual Freedom Round Table (IFRT) is seeking nominations for its 2015 Gerald Hodges Intellectual Freedom Chapter Relations Award. The Gerald Hodges Intellectual Freedom Chapter Relations Award recognizes an intellectual freedom focused organization that has developed a strong multi-year, ongoing program or a single, one-year project that exemplifies support for intellectual freedom, patron confidentiality and anti-censorship efforts. The award consists of $1,000 and a citation. *The deadline for nominations has been extended to Friday, Feb. 13.* The award is named after Gerald Hodges, who joined the ALA staff in 1989 as director of membership services and the Chapter Relations Office . Hodges was the associate director of communications and marketing at his death in 2006, but intellectual freedom and chapter relations were still his passions. A charter member of the ALA Legacy Society , he willed a portion of his estate to support ALA's intellectual freedom efforts. Memorial contributions in recognition of Hodges came from many friends, colleagues and ALA chapters following the establishment of the Gerald Hodges Fund. The Hodges nomination form is available on the ALA website. Nominations and supporting evidence should be sent to: Shumeca Pickett, ALA, 50 E. Huron St., Chicago, IL 60611. Telephone: 312-280-4220 or 800-545-2433, ext. 4220. Fax: 312-280-4227. E-mail: spickett at ala.org The Intellectual Freedom Round Table (IFRT) provides a forum for the discussion of activities, programs and problems in intellectual freedom of libraries and librarians; serves as a channel of communications on intellectual freedom matters; promotes a greater opportunity for involvement among the members of the ALA in defense of intellectual freedom; promotes a greater feeling of responsibility in the implementation of ALA policies on intellectual freedom. -- Suzanne L.

There are just a few members without, some due to city resistance, and I'd like to see that change. One of my points of argument in favor of providing the service will be the new OLA Public Library standards. It is more or less an expectation. Some of our members get Wi-Fi from the city. We also have some member libraries who are having Wi-Fi donated by local providers as a PR and public service gesture. I believe on pays for this type of connection. The nice part about the unique ISP service is that it removes all the security and management issues from the library network. We have found a Wi-Fi access device called UniFi that we're attaching to the provider's modem that will provide a patron agreement starting page and collect stats. Some do shut down the service at night. That's a local choice. Hope this helps.

The transition team is made up of Darci Hanning (Technology Development Consultant for Library Support and Development Services at Oregon State Library), Rachael Short (Answerland Coordinator), and Emily Papagni (Answerland Support Librarian). The team enjoys the guidance of the Answerland Advisory Board. The transition team will be undertaking a software selection process for vendor-hosted virtual reference software. A vendor-hosted platform will be more affordable and require less maintenance by staff than the current software. It should also allow the service to keep up-to-date with transitions in technology without additional outlays of investment. Training on the new software will be organized by Answerland staff, and is planned to begin in May. We plan to continue all existing services of Answerland: chat, email, text, and 24/7 backup service. We will communicate regularly to keep you up to date. A transition page is in place at https://www.answerland.org/transition Since 2003 Answerland has been Oregon's collaborative virtual reference service. The service is staffed by 48 number of partner libraries and by volunteers, and answers an average of 35,000 questions by live chat, email and text messaging annually. Answerland is funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services through the Library Services and Technology Act, administered by the Oregon State Library. The fiscal agent for the program since its inception in 2003 has been Multnomah County Library. The Oregon State Library Board of Trustees met on December 5 and voted unanimously in support of moving Answerland from Multnomah County Library to the Oregon State Library. If you have questions about the transition, please contact Rachael Short (rachaels at multco.us), the Answerland Service Coordinator.

The theme for this year's IL Summit is Accelerated Learning, but we invite a variety of presentations related to information literacy. Oregon is implementing accelerated learning programs across the state, which enable high school students to earn college credit for courses that they take in a K-12 setting through partnerships with credit-granting community colleges and 4-year institutions. Examples include the Eastern Promise collaboration between colleges and school districts in rural parts of the state; and the Challenge and Senior Inquiry programs at Portland State University that serve the metro area. We are particularly interested in proposals for presentations that help us understand the implications of accelerated learning for librarians and for students acquiring information literacy skills, such as: - Perspectives of school librarians serving high school students enrolled in college classes - Impact of accelerated learning on public librarians - Partnerships between college/university libraries and accelerated learning programs - Insight on the new landscape of high school - Best practices for providing equivalent library resources and services to K-12 students - Success stories of students in accelerated programs and beyond - Other information literacy topics are welcome as well! The Summit typically has 60-80 attendees who come from many areas of practice (higher ed, public, K-12) and are eager to hear new ideas and ways to approach information literacy. We invite you to submit proposals for panels, presentations, discussions on best practices, and other programs. Programs should be designed to run for a total of 45 minutes including Q&A. Program proposals will be accepted until Friday, March 13, 2015. Please submit your proposals here: ILAGO IL Summit Program Proposal We look forward to hearing from you. *Sarah Ralston * Information Literacy Instruction Librarian Pierce Library Eastern Oregon University sralston at eou.edu (541) 962-3474 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

URL: From reading at librifoundation.org Mon Jan 12 11:56:54 2015 From: reading at librifoundation.org (The Libri Foundation) Date: Mon, 12 Jan 2015 11:56:54 -0800 Subject: [Libs-Or] Grant Opportunity for Rural Libraries In-Reply-To: <54B426BB.8010505@librifoundation.org> References: <54B426BB.8010505@librifoundation.org> Message-ID: <54B42706.4020501@librifoundation.org> January 2015 The Libri Foundation is currently accepting applications for its 2015 BOOKS FOR CHILDREN grants. The Libri Foundation is a nationwide non-profit organization which donates new, quality, hardcover children's books to small, rural public libraries throughout the United States. Since October 1990, the Foundation has donated over $6,200,000 worth of new children's books to more than 3,300 libraries in all 50 states. In order to encourage and reward local support of libraries, The Libri Foundation will match any amount of money raised by your local sponsors from $200 to $350 on a 2-to-1 ratio. Thus, a library can receive up to $1,050 worth of new children's books. After a library receives a grant, local sponsors (such as formal or informal Friends groups, civic or social organizations, local businesses, etc.) have four months, or longer if necessary, to raise their matching funds. The librarian of each participating library selects the books her library will receive from a booklist provided by the Foundation. The 600-plus fiction and nonfiction titles on the booklist reflect the very best of children's literature published primarily in the last three years. These titles, which are for children ages 12 and under, are award-winners or have received starred reviews in library, literary, or education journals. The booklist also includes a selection of classic children's titles. Libraries are qualified on an individual basis. In general, county libraries should serve a population under 16,000 and town libraries should serve a population under 10,000 (usually under 5,000). Libraries should be in a rural area, have a limited operating budget, and an active children's department. Please note: Rural is usually considered to be at least 30 miles from a city with a population over 40,000. Town libraries with total operating budgets over $150,000 and county libraries with total operating budgets over $450,000 are rarely given grants. Applications are accepted from independent libraries as well as libraries which are part of a county, regional, or cooperative library system. A school library may apply only if it also serves as the public library (i.e. it is open to the everyone in the community, has some summer hours, and there is no public library in town). A branch library may apply if the community it is in meets the definition of rural. If the branch library receives its funding from its parent institution, then the parent institution's total operating budget, not just the branch library's total operating budget, must meet the budget guidelines. A library that received a BOOKS FOR CHILDREN grant in 2012 or earlier is eligible to apply if it fulfilled all the grant requirements, including sending in its final report. Application deadlines for 2015 are: (postmarked by) January 23rd and May 1st. Grants are awarded January 31st and May 15th. If you want your books in time for your summer reading program, please apply for a January grant. The names of grant recipients will be posted on the Foundation's website a few days after grants are awarded. Acceptance packets are usually mailed 14-18 days after grants are awarded. Please DO NOT waste money sending your application by Express Mail or Certified Mail. The application deadline is based on postmark date, not arrival date. Application guidelines and forms may be downloaded from the Foundation's website at: www.librifoundation.org.

This training is for librarians who plan to take shifts staffing Answerland's chat, e-mail, and texting service. Librarians will receive hands-on training with Answerland's software and instruction on techniques for communicating effectively online with patrons and providing reference service online. There are two ways to staff Answerland: 1 - Partner libraries: Reference staff at Oregon libraries may staff the service as partner libraries. Librarians who do so staff the service at their libraries. 2 - Volunteers: Anyone who has completed a reference class in the past 10 years from an ALA-accredited college or university MLS/MLIS program or has experience providing reference service in a library may apply to be a volunteer. Volunteers typically staff the service from home computers. If you would like to participate in the volunteer program, contact me for information about how to apply to be a volunteer. Training is free, but space is limited and advance registration is required. If you would like to attend, contact me and let me know if you would like to staff Answerland at a partner library or as a volunteer and which training date you would like to register for. If you're interested in the training, but unable to attend on these dates, please contact me to request training.

The book is 8.5" X 11" X 2" 1,200 plus pages and weighs in at about 8 lbs in the shipping carton. Fully alphabetical by county and site, each county is indexed, Black and White photo's for a general idea of what monuments are in each county, with a state wide index in the back. This is a must for those researching Oregon using death certificates. We tried to pick up all the also known as names to the sites. There are about 2500 burial sites in the 36 counties of Oregon.

Students write letters to any author explaining how that author's book changed their way of thinking about the world or themselves. Please help promote this program, including among homeschoolers. The LOC asks teachers and parents to allow students to choose a book that is meaningful to them and asks students to explain *why* or *how* the book was significant to them instead of summarizing the plot. The focus of a participant's letter is to make clear the connection one has with a book. Here's what Lynette Gottlieb, a teacher in Corvallis, had to say about the contest: Letters about Literature was a completely positive experience for my students...importantly, some of my students who do not identify as writers, and do not generally enjoy the experience, were able to write about something meaningful to them and participate in an inclusive contest that also recognized them...the process connects them to the human experience of literature. It supports my English classroom where I give students choice about reading whenever possible and teach that literature and writing are first and foremost about communication. There are three competition levels: Level I for 4th-6th graders, Level II for 7th-8th graders, and Level III for 9th-12th graders. Oregon's three winners - one from each competition level - will go on to compete nationally. Entry forms and guidelines are available online. All Level III entries must be postmarked by December 15, 2014 and Level I and Level II entries by January 15, 2015. Last year, about 1,040 students in Oregon entered the contest, and 1 in 8 received cash prizes or bookstore gift certificates. These prizes are made possible through support from the national Center for the Book, Oregon Reading Association, and three divisions of the Oregon Library Association: Oregon Association of School Libraries, Children's Services Division, and Oregon Young Adult Network. Thanks for passing along the information to teachers and families and encouraging them to participate. Please note that this is likely the last year that the State Library will coordinate the program because of changes within the agency. State Library staff members are working to find a new home for Letters About Literature. However, if no organization takes it on, this could be the program's last year in Oregon. Questions? Please ask.

I would encourage those that are concerned about the cutbacks in this program to contact your Congressional representatives, and certainly encourage your upset patrons to do so as well. Anyone attending the ALA Midwinter meeting might also want to attend this program: Tell the IRS: Tax Forms in the Library," a session that takes place during the 2015 American Library Association (ALA) Midwinter Meeting in Chicago. The session will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Sunday, February 1, 2015, in the McCormick Place, the Chicago Convention Center, room W187. TFOP Filing Season Update While we had committed to waiting until next year to making changes to the Tax Forms Outlet Program, the situation has changed. As you may be aware, IRS appropriations were significantly cut in the 2015 Omnibus Appropriations bill recently passed by Congress. Unfortunately this puts us in a position where we have very few options. We want to honor our commitment to you by providing some key products, but we cannot deliver nearly what we have in the past. For this filing season, we will offer the following products: * Forms 1040, 1040A and 1040EZ * Publication 17, one reference copy for each participant (Taxpayers will be able to access Publication 17 in English and Spanish online from irs.gov/Pub17 and, new this year, it will also be available as a free e-Pub for downloading from IRS.gov and viewing on most e-Readers and other mobile devices.) * Publication 4604 (EN/SP), Use the Web for IRS Tax Products & Information * Publication 1132, Reproducible Copies of Federal Tax Forms and Instructions * The TFOP Poster Package which includes: o Publication 1169, Need Tax Help? o Publication 1258, Where Should I Send This? o Publication 1309, Tax Forms This Way Publication o Publication 1725, If The Form Fits...Use It! No additional products will be available through the TFOP Program. We will not be sending Form 8635-S, Supplement to Form 8635. 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.

Celebrating its 25th anniversary at the same time as ALA Annual, the ADA is a monumental civil rights law that helps ensure equal access to everyone, including people with disabilities. Understanding the ADA is important for all types of libraries. The preconference session presented by the Pacific ADA Center will answer many of the questions you have about serving people with disabilities, and even questions you didn?t know you had! This preconference is ideal for library staff assigned as ADA coordinator for their library, or anyone else with an interest in the ADA. Preconference session topics will include: ? An overview of the ADA ? who and what does it cover? ? Excellent customer service skills and appropriate terminology to use with library patrons with disabilities ? Effective communication with patrons who have vision and hearing disabilities ? Accessible technology and how libraries can use it ? Hiring and accommodation of library staff with disabilities ? The basics about service animals ? The ADA quiz - how much do you know? While registration may be a long time from now, this email is an invitation for anyone interested in attending the preconference to sign up for email updates and alerts as we get closer to the registration period. The cutoff period between opening of registration and the decision to cancel a preconference is short. Now that it is time to register, please consider adding this informative preconference to you plans for Annual. You may also let me know if you have any questions.

Library staff promote access to information by resisting censorship, promoting government transparency, and reducing barriers such as the digital divide that may prevent individuals from receiving the information they need. In our times, an open Internet is essential for accessing information. Many of us have been following the political wranglings about net neutrality carefully, as libraries have a huge stake in keeping the playing field level for all Internet users. This issue has been well explained in a letter published in newspapers around Oregon co-written by OLA President Candice Watkins and Senator Ron Wyden, and in the OLA Net Neutrality Statement *Updates in the Net Neutrality debate* - The FCC panel is expected to vote on net neutrality rules on Feb. 26th. - FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler recently hinted support for protecting net n eutrality by reclassifying Internet access under Title II of the 1934 Communications Act. This is the position supported by OLA, ALA, President Obama, and other advocates for an open Internet. - Opposition to this reclassification is expected to be fierce. Internet Service Providers, cable companies and some others are likely to challenge this reclassification in the Courts and through the Republican-led Congress. - The Oregon library community has access to this Net Neutrality Toolkit to participate in this important conversation. News articles on the latest developments in this debate: FCC Chairman Wheeler hints at shift in net neutrality rules (LA Times) Will the GOP challenge Obama over net neutrality? (CBS News) This debate is a reminder that freedom, including intellectual freedom, requires constant vigilance. *Tuesday Topic Information Project: * *Intellectual Freedom Committee* Welcome to the next installment in a monthly series covering topics with intellectual freedom implications for libraries of all types. Each message is prepared by members of OLA?s Intellectual Freedom Committee. Look for our message on a Tuesday each month of the academic year except December.

ALA and CLA have partnered to bring library staff and supporters a MOOC on "Library Advocacy Unshushed: Values, Evidence, Action" which begins February 1st. Register for FREE here: https://www.edx.org/course/library-advocacy-unshushed-university-torontox-la101x >From the ALA Press Release: The American Library Association is proud to announce its partnership with the Canadian Library Association (CLA) and the University of Toronto iSchool in offering its popular MOOC (Massively Open Online Course), entitled "Library Advocacy Unshushed: Values, Evidence, Action" beginning Feb. 1, 2015. Wendy Newman, a senior fellow and lecturer at the Faculty of Information at the University of Toronto iSchool, will lead this six-week adaption of a popular online elective class on advocacy, offering anyone, anywhere in the world, the opportunity to learn more about advocacy for libraries and strengthening of the communities they serve. "This MOOC takes advocacy training to the next level, reaching thousands of librarians and advocates through one course, while building on ALA's advocacy concepts and messages," said Courtney Young, ALA president. "The partnership with the University of Toronto iSchool and CLA is an exciting development for advocates and libraries in both countries - and around the world. Previous participants described the MOOC as a breakthrough in their understanding and action planning, stating that the curriculum "showed me the value of building relationships", "made me approach our library's advocacy much differently" and "helped me see advocacy in a new light." Over 5,200 individuals participated the last time the course was offered. Offered through the EdX consortium, in which the University of Toronto collaborates with other leading universities, "Library Advocacy Unshushed" is now available for registration via this URL: https://www.edx.org/course/library-advocacy-unshushed-university-torontox-la101x#.VLBbWGMpcin The course will start on Feb. 2, 2015, and ends March 23, 2015.

And it's still FREE! Big Talk From Small Libraries 2015 will be held on Friday, February 27, 2015 between 8:45 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. (CT) via the GoToWebinar online meeting service. We've been listening! A comment we've heard pretty often is that so many presentations at conferences seem to be by and for librarians from larger libraries. Well, Big Talk From Small Libraries will change that. This free one-day online conference is aimed at librarians from small libraries; the smaller the better. Each of our speakers will be from a small library or directly works with small libraries. Topics will range from technology (new tech and old tech) to programming to new roles for the library. Come for the programs on what you're dealing with now, or maybe try something new. Everyone is welcome to register and attend, regardless of how big or small their library is, but if your library serves a few thousand people, or a few hundred, this is the day for you. Big Talk From Small Libraries 2015 will be broadcast online using the GoToWebinar online meeting service. GoToWebinar login instructions will be e-mailed to registered attendees the day before the conference. Please see the NLC Online Sessions webpage for detailed information about GoToWebinar, including system requirements and firewall configuration. This conference is organized and hosted by Michael Sauers, Laura Johnson, and Christa Burns of the Nebraska Library Commission and is co-sponsored by the Association for Rural & Small Libraries. More details will be posted @ http://nlcblogs.nebraska.gov/bigtalk/ soon!

Here's the link: http://blog.gale.com/i-had-no-idea-changing-how-the-library-is-viewed-one-stakeholder-at-a-time/ Among other things, my project introduces library online databases to students, policy makers, in-library patrons and lots of others. It's easy to get people excited about our databases when the content they are finding is relevant to their lives. I walk them through live searches on topics they care about. I do this not just at the library, but in offices, hospitals, schools, club meetings, etc. Getting in the door is the hard part: people think they already know all about libraries. But once I'm there, they are amazed. Then I get them to give me short testimonials so that other groups will say yes, too.

Do you offer computer tutoring by appointment? Technology training happens every day in libraries, and every technology question presents an opportunity to teach new skills and increase digital literacy. Luckily, you don't need to be a tech expert to provide effective technology training. Attend this all-day workshop to gain practical tips, tools, and techniques to bridge the digital divide at your library and create a culture of learning around technology. Bring your ideas and issues as we discuss common barriers to learning technology and explore tactics and techniques for one-on-one technology instruction. Walk away with a customized plan to increase digital literacy in your library's community. This workshop will address key issues related to helping library patrons with technology, and will focus on how to provide better library services related to new technologies. It will combine the topics of digital literacy, public access technology, patron training, and customer service. If possible, please bring a device to this workshop (laptop, tablet, smart phone) to use during practice activities.

The ALA Task Force on Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion was created in the spring of 2014 by then ALA President, Barbara Stripling. The Task Force is currently in the information-gathering phase. To aid with information gathering, it has launched a series of short surveys to be conducted at times to coincide with the ALA Midwinter Meetings and Annual Conferences through 2016. These surveys are designed to help understand the culture of the association, the profession, and our communities with respect to equity, diversity, and inclusion. The first survey presents the Task Force created definitions of equity, diversity, and inclusion and asks individuals to consider ALA's current alignment to those definitions. The survey can be accessed at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/TFEDI1EMAIL and responses will be collected through February 16, 2015. ALA members and nonmembers are encouraged to participate. The final, analyzed results of the survey will be reported on by April 2015 via the Task Force's ALA Connect community and distributed through various ALA channels. Please take a few minutes to answer the survey, which should take no more than 7 minutes to complete. "Embracing and celebrating diversity, and creating a more inclusive profession have been long-standing goals of the American Library Association. With your help, we hope to ensure these values are upheld," said Task Force co-chairs Trevor A. Dawes and Martin L. Garnar. The ALA Task Force on Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion's charge is to develop a plan and strategic actions to build more equity, diversity, and inclusion among our members, the field of librarianship, and our communities. The most important Task Force outcome is the public and honest conversation generated by its plan and recommended actions. The final Task Force report will include recommendations for ensuring that a continuing focus on equity, diversity, and inclusion is embedded throughout the ALA organization. Questions about the survey can be sent to the Task Force at diversity at ala.org. Should technical issues arise, please contact the ALA Office for Diversity at diversity at ala.org or 800-545-2433 ext. 5048.

The position alternates between a museum professional and a library professional. Susan Hildreth had been the director since 2011 and is stepping down this month. We don't know who (or when) a new director will be appointed. Susan was the director of the Seattle Public Library, the San Francisco Public Library and State Librarian of California, in addition to other positions, I think mostly in California's bay area. Susan has posted a farewell message to the IMLS blog and I would encourage you to take a look at the work and accomplishments of IMLS under her leadership. She has been a force of nature for libraries and museums in Washington DC. I think I am most impressed by the partnerships she has forged with other federal agencies that pave the way for state libraries to partner at the state level. I have been honored to work with Susan for the past several years and I thank her for everything she has done (and I'm guessing will continue to do) for libraries in the United States.

The LSTA Advisory Council and the Oregon State Library have been working on making changes to the state's LSTA program. The chief goal is to incorporate the outcomes and lessons learned by grants into future grant projects. To make this possible, there are changes to the LSTA grant process and timetable. Oregon's LSTA grant process is changing from a two-step process, with a brief and full proposal, to a one-step process. We will continue to offer consulting, and commenting on proposal drafts. The requirements for outcome based evaluation continue and strengthen. A big change is the need for projects to stick to a realistic 12 month timeline, with very limited time for extensions. The proposed new schedule would look like this for competitive (and statewide) projects: January 2016 LSTA grant packet announced and available electronically Last 2 weeks in March 2016 A voluntary review group using google docs, or wiki, blog, etc for interested LSTA Council members to leave comments on electronic drafts January to April 2016 Writing time for full proposal Mid April 2016 Full Proposals due Mid May 2016 LSTA Council meets - recommends full competitive proposals to OSL Board Late May 2016 Library Development mails letter to applicants / sends Council recommendations to Board Mid-June 2016 Board reviews and approves new competitive grants Mid-June 2016 Send grant contracts July 1, 2016 New grants start September 2016 LSTA Council refines guidelines, best practice, reviews final grant reports (inc. evaluation) June 30, 2017 Competitive grants end We will be working with multiple year projects to cope with this change in schedule. We will also be developing methods to integrate the outcomes of grants to inform the grant guidelines. We appreciate everyone's patience as we try to improve Oregon's LSTA program. Please contact me with any questions or concerns.

Helmer Executive Director Orbis Cascade Alliance jhelmer at orbiscascade.org 541.246.2470 ext 205 *NEWS RELEASEOrbis Cascade Alliance and Ex Libris Complete Implementation of a Shared Resource Management and Discovery SystemCulmination of a two-year effort to replace local systems* Eugene, OR and Chicago, IL--January 22, 2015 The Orbis Cascade Alliance, a consortium of 37 North American academic institutions known for innovative collaboration, and Ex Libris Group, a global leader in library automation services, are pleased to announce completion of a two-year effort to migrate Alliance members to a shared, next-generation library management and discovery solution. Alliance member libraries have migrated from 37 locally hosted systems comprised of four discovery and three ILS platforms to shared use of the cloud-based Alma unified resource management solution and Primo discovery solution. Working in partnership, the Alliance and Ex Libris each played critical roles in managing the complex migration of four cohorts comprised of 6-11 libraries, each cohort migrating over a six-month period. Beyond migration, the Alliance and Ex Libris worked in partnership to create a new resource sharing solution and to develop consortial functionality that will allow Alliance member libraries to build on their 20-year history of shared work. "This is truly a collaborative project that could not have happened without the support of everyone across the Alliance. Dozens of member library staff across the northwest U.S. have been in near-constant contact with Ex Libris colleagues based in Chicago, Boston, and Jerusalem," stated Jane Carlin, chair of the Alliance and library director at the University of Puget Sound. "We now share a system and there are so many possibilities for service, training, workflow and product knowledge and development." "This has been a long and complex migration and huge credit is due to the leadership, imagination, hard work and perseverance of dozens of staff across all 37 member libraries," remarked John F. Helmer, executive director of the Orbis Cascade Alliance. "For 20 years, we have been exploring the potential of deep collaboration, and implementation of this next-generation shared system is key to helping us realize our strategic goal to 'do things once, do things together, do things the same.'" "It has been a pleasure to work with Ex Libris on this historic achievement. Along the way, we often discovered new challenges and worked in partnership on creative solutions," said Al Cornish, the Alliance shared ILS program manager. The Alliance and Ex Libris worked together to plan and achieve one of the project's key objectives: a streamlined resource sharing program based on Alma's capabilities. "Ex Libris was a very responsive partner throughout this effort," stated Anya Arnold, the Alliance resource sharing program manager. "Resource sharing has deep roots in this consortium, with our first patron-initiated borrowing system going live for five libraries in the early 1990's and migration to a second platform in 2008. It is a thrill to now launch the next generation of resource sharing serving all 37 members of the Orbis Cascade Alliance." Matti Shem Tov, President and CEO of the Ex Libris Group, commented: "Having all Alliance members live with Alma and Primo is a huge accomplishment, the result of excellent teamwork and many months of intensive efforts by all project members. This day is only the beginning. Now that the foundation is in place, we will start witnessing the emergence of new, innovative practices and services across the Alliance. We feel honored to be a partner of the Alliance and we look forward to many more years of collaborative work." "The success of this project is a testament to the dedication, ingenuity, and enthusiasm of so many individuals throughout the Alliance and Ex Libris who have enjoyed a close and productive relationship for the past two years," stated Melissa Hilbert, Ex Libris Vice President of Professional Services North America. "Beyond implementing new systems, we have worked together to establish consortial implementation best practices and recognize the extremely valuable contributions the Alliance has made in this area." *About Orbis Cascade* The Orbis Cascade Alliance is a consortium of 37 academic institutions in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho, serving faculty and the equivalent of more than 275,000 full-time students.

They received a Library Services and Technology Grant from the State Library and used funds to meet to research and develop standards during the 2011-12 school year. Those standards were finalized and went online by late summer 2012. After that, the focus shifted to promoting the standards in the Oregon education committee and to getting the standards adopted by the State Board of Education. After some initial unsuccessful efforts, an ad hoc committee secured a meeting in November 2014 with members of the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) to present background information and propose the adoption. Nicole Dalton, the English Language Arts specialist, and Emily Nazarov, the ODE liaison to the SBOE, were impressed with the presentation and the standards. Nicole received approval from her supervisor to support the adoption, and Emily put it before the SBOE for a first read at their December 2014 meeting. During that meeting, Stephanie Thomas, OASL President, made a case for adopting the standards. The information was well received, and the chair of the SBOE moved the matter to the consent agenda for the January 2015 meeting. That meeting was yesterday, and as you know by now, the standards were officially adopted. The SBOE actions taken at the January 22nd meeting should be available online soon.

With a strong history of productive partnerships in the open access field, including Knowledge Unlatched, Reveal Digital, and SCOAP3, LYRASIS is at the forefront of the rapidly changing scholarly communications landscape. The Mellon-funded Open Library of Humanities offers a new, extremely cost-effective and equitable business model for journals to achieve gold open access in the humanities sphere. Rather than concentrating the burden of payment on the individual authors or their institution when work is accepted (as do many existing publishers), the OLH is supported by a consortium of libraries who all share the cost. In this way, we can fairly pay for the labor of publishing on a not-for-profit basis while also ensuring that anyone whose work meets the high-standards of peer review can be published with no author fee. Of the new partnership, Dr. Martin Paul Eve, one of the founders and academic project directors of the OLH, said: "We are extremely pleased to be working with LYRASIS to reach potential library partners in the United States. We are only at the beginning of a long journey; it takes a great deal of work to build successful, mission-driven publishers. With the ever-growing support that we are receiving from libraries and academics worldwide, though, the desire for a new route is clear. We greatly look forward to working with LYRASIS and its members to build a bright, open access future for the humanities disciplines." "OLH is engaged in important work for humanities scholarship," said Kate Nevins, the Executive Director of LYRASIS. "This program provides an opportunity for libraries to engage in a transformative model that will have a significant impact on scholarly communications. LYRASIS welcomes the opportunity to partner with OLH and gather community support for their mission." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ About LYRASIS LYRASIS, a non-profit membership organization, partners with member libraries, archives and museums to create, access and manage information with an emphasis on digital content, while building and sustaining collaboration, enhancing operations and technology, and increasing buying power.

About Open Library of Humanities The Open Library of Humanities provides a platform for open access publishing that is sustainable, archived, non-profit, innovative, and provides reputable content that is respected through rigorous peer review. Since the majority of research in the humanities is only funded by institutional time, Article Processing Charges to authors are not viable for these disciplines. The OLH provides an alternative model of Library Partnership Subsidies to fund the program through community support.

[IMLS logo] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 26, 2015 IMLS Press Contact 202-653-4799 Giuliana Bullard, gbullard at imls.gov IMLS 2012 Public Libraries Survey Report Issued Washington, DC?In 2012, Americans made 1.5 billion trips to public libraries in the United States?the equivalent of more than 4.1 million visits each day, according to new research by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). The research indicates there is still a high demand for the resources and services of the nation?s approximately 9,000 public libraries. Today, IMLS released the report for the Public Libraries in the United States Survey: Fiscal Year 2012, an analysis of the most comprehensive annual data collection of U.S. public library statistics. Ninety-seven percent of public libraries in the 50 states and the District of Columbia contribute data for the survey, which is now in its 26th year. The survey report provides analysis of 13 key indicators of library investments and library use, and profiles for each state, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. Policymakers and practitioners use the report findings to make informed decisions about library support and management. Fiscal Year 2012 was marked by a stabilization of post-recession declines in revenue, staffing, visitation, and circulation at the nation?s public libraries. Measures of public library use and resources remained similar to prior year levels. While revenue has stabilized, a greater share is coming from local governments, and in FY 2012, there was a 13.2 percent increase in revenues from other sources. Libraries are offering more public programs, including programs for children, and are seeing greater program attendance than in previous years. Public libraries are also adding more to their digital holdings, including e-books and downloadable audio and video. Spending on electronic materials has doubled since Fiscal Year 2003. Although libraries continue to provide public access computers and Internet access, use of public access computers has seen a two-year decrease of 7.4 percent. The decrease may be the result of customers? use of their own devices such as laptops, smart phones, and tablets to connect to public libraries? Wi-Fi. ?The public library is adapting to the changing needs of the American people,? said Maura Marx, Acting IMLS Director. ?The report describes shifts in funding, as well as changes in the services and programs of public libraries that reflect changes in public demand.? She continued, ?We found positive links between investments?particularly in staffing and collections?and public library usage. When a library has more full-time staff members, it is visited more often. When it spends more on electronic materials, it increases its per capita circulation. So, we clearly see a strong connection between investment and usage. At IMLS, we are proud to be the nation?s primary source of federal support for public libraries and to know that our investments make a real difference for these essential public institutions.? Other highlights of the findings include: * There were 1.5 billion in-person visits to public libraries across the United States, similar to FY 2011 levels. This was a 10-year increase of 10.2 percent. * The public invested over $11.5 billion in revenue to public libraries. This was similar to FY 2011 levels, after adjusting for inflation. Revenue has declined after a peak in FY 2009, but is up 7.2 percent over 10 years. * More than 92.6 million people attended the 4.0 million programs at public libraries. Attendance showed a 1-year increase of 5.2 percent and a 10-year increase of 54.4 percent. See other highlights featured in the Factsheet, and access the full report here.

REGISTER ONLINE Registration rates and deadlines for Online Northwest 2015 are as follows: * 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/ [cid:image001.png at 01D03975.4812C190]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...

The goal of the project is to assist funders in identifying how best to support public libraries of all sizes as they provide 21stcentury library services to a diverse public. The needs assessment will be conducted by Penny Hummel of Penny Hummel Consulting with support from Portland State University?s Survey Research Lab. Data for this qualitative analysis will be gathered from January ? March 2015 in four ways: ? Eight focus groups with public library directors around the state: o February 17: Wilsonville Public Library (10 - 11:30 am) o February 18: OCF Portland office (2 ? 3:30 pm) o Feb. 23: OCF Medford office (2 ? 3:30 pm) o Feb. 25: OCF Eugene office (10 ? 11:30 pm) o Feb. 27: Coos Bay Public Library (10 ? 11:30 am) o March 3: OCF Bend office (2 ? 3:30 pm) o March 5: Newport Public Library (1 ? 2:30 pm) o March 11: Pendleton Public Library: (1 ? 2:30 pm) ? An online survey for public library directors, library board members, Friends and Foundation trustees and staff and other interested stakeholders (available in late February- early March) ? Interviews with regional and national library leaders and other service providers ? A literature review of best practices This needs assessment offers a once-in-a generation opportunity for Oregon?s public libraries to provide comprehensive input about their current and future needs to the philanthropic community. Public library directors are therefore strongly encouraged to make their voices known through participating in the survey and/or focus groups. A report documenting the outcomes of the needs assessment will be presented to The Oregon Community Foundation in June, 2015 and subsequently shared with the public. In the weeks to come, additional details about the survey and focus groups will be provided to public library directors. If you have any questions, or are a public library director and would like to reserve a space in one of focus groups listed above, contact Penny Hummel at penny at pennyhummel.com or 503.890.0494.

Message-ID: *[Reminder--please fill out this important survey from the ALA Task Force on Equity, Diversity and Inclusion!]* Greetings! The ALA Task Force on Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion was created in the spring of 2014 by then ALA President, Barbara Stripling. The Task Force is currently in the information-gathering phase. To aid with information gathering, it has launched a series of short surveys to be conducted at times to coincide with the ALA Midwinter Meetings and Annual Conferences through 2016. These surveys are designed to help understand the culture of the association, the profession, and our communities with respect to equity, diversity, and inclusion. The first survey presents the Task Force created definitions of equity, diversity, and inclusion and asks individuals to consider ALA's current alignment to those definitions. The survey can be accessed athttps://www.surveymonkey.com/s/TFEDI1EMAIL and responses will be collected through February 16, 2015. ALA members and nonmembers are encouraged to participate. The final, analyzed results of the survey will be reported on by April 2015 via the Task Force's ALA Connect community and distributed through various ALA channels. Please take a few minutes to answer the survey, which should take no more than 7 minutes to complete. "Embracing and celebrating diversity, and creating a more inclusive profession have been long-standing goals of the American Library Association. With your help, we hope to ensure these values are upheld," said Task Force co-chairs Trevor A. Dawes and Martin L. Garnar. The ALA Task Force on Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion's charge is to develop a plan and strategic actions to build more equity, diversity, and inclusion among our members, the field of librarianship, and our communities. The most important Task Force outcome is the public and honest conversation generated by its plan and recommended actions. The final Task Force report will include recommendations for ensuring that a continuing focus on equity, diversity, and inclusion is embedded throughout the ALA organization. Questions about the survey can be sent to the Task Force at diversity at ala.org. Should technical issues arise, please contact the ALA Office for Diversity at diversity at ala.org or 800-545-2433 ext. 5048.

Message-ID: <79182DEA2A9EBD459F20AD5CB90FEAA5315BA52405@Exchange.orcity.org> Hi everyone: I know you all are filling out those Conference forms and selecting activities and sessions like kids in candy shops. I know I can't wait! A couple of things to keep in mind while deciding how to spend your time and resources: 1. PLD Banquet: In the spirit of the conference theme of creativity, we snagged Mark Shapiro from Laika Studios. Recently nominated for an Oscar for Best Animated Feature for The Boxtrolls, Laika is known for its innovation in stop-motion animation in films like 'Coraline'. Mark will be bringing 'show and tell', making this event on Wednesday night, April 15th, a DO NOT MISS event. Remember, you don't have to be a member of any group to attend the PLD Banquet and this is a great way to start off your conference. We also present the OLE Award that evening, which is a ton of fun in itself. Here's the longer description-please consider signing up! 'Oregon-based LAIKA is a renowned animation studio that has inspired audiences with an unprecedented visual artistry. Animators breathe life into meticulously hand-crafted puppets on handmade sets. Visual effects artists seamlessly enhance performances with cutting-edge technologies. This unparalleled fusion of stop-motion and computer graphics has garnered the studio two Oscar nominations and worldwide acclaim. In this session, Mark Shapiro will discuss the feature The Boxtrolls, using rarely seen images and timelapses. Production puppets will be on display.' 2. PLD, with many partners, has put together a great line-up of conference sessions, everything from soup to nuts, or should I say cannabis resources to the Edge Initiative. If that's not enough to grab you...well, I'm just speechless. Have fun browsing and can't wait to see you there!

Thanks, Larry Landis The Special Collections & Archives Research Center of the Oregon State University Libraries and Press is accepting applications for its Resident Scholar Program. The program, now in its eighth year, provides research grants to scholars interested in conducting work in the Special Collections & Archives Research Center (SCARC). Stipends of $2,500 per month renewable for up to three months (for a total maximum grant award of $7,500) will be awarded to researchers whose proposals detail a compelling potential use of the materials held in the Center. Grant monies can be used for any purpose. Historians, librarians, graduate, doctoral or post-doctoral students and independent scholars are welcome to apply. Detailed information outlining the qualifications necessary for application, as well as the selection process and the conditions under which awards will be made, is available at http://scarc.library.oregonstate.edu/residentscholar.pdf. The deadline for submitting proposals is April 30, 2015. Researchers will be expected to conduct their scholarly activities while in residence at Oregon State University. Applicants should focus their research in one of the five main collecting themes of the Special Collections & Archives Research Center: the history of Oregon State University, natural resources in the Pacific Northwest, multiculturalism in Oregon, the history of science and technology in the twentieth century and/or rare books. Many past Resident Scholars have engaged primarily with the Ava Helen and Linus Pauling Papers, though proposals can address use of any of the SCARC collections. Additional information on the program and profiles of past award recipients is available at the Resident Scholar homepage, http://scarc.library.oregonstate.edu/residentscholar.html. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
