The following new titles are available for interlibrary loan from the Oregon State Library.
Most library staff are able to use their library's interlibrary loan service to borrow professional development material.  However, if you do not have access to these services or are not currently affiliated with a library, please contact me so we can work out alternative options for borrowing the material.



[book 1.jpg]   Albrecht, Steve. Library Security : Better Communication, Safer Facilities.  Chicago: American Library Association, 2015. 025.82 Albre  ISBN 9780838913307
Library work is really all about people. And the inclusive, welcoming nature of the library means that all kinds of people pass through its doors. Not all difficult patrons are dangerous, but some frighten staff and other library users, which can lead to situations that are distracting, troubling, and fraught with liability. For more than a decade, Albrecht, a 15-year police veteran, has presented workshops for libraries on dealing with challenging patrons. His no-nonsense advice will empower library staff in their personal security and give them the tools to confidently communicate with their colleagues, patrons, and members of law enforcement regarding inappropriate behavior. In this book he addresses security issues important to all libraries, including

  *   Specific guidance for common situations, such as unruly teens, unwanted sexual advances, chronically homeless substance abusers, and more
  *   The elements of an effective Code of Conduct and how to enforce it
  *   Tips on how to manage internet usage to minimize potential problems
  *   How to align with patrons and use language that defuses the conflict
  *   Forming partnerships with service organizations, homeless shelters, mental health advocacy groups, and other community resources
  *   How to know when it s time to call the police, plus ideas for increasing law enforcement support
  *   Ways to make the library more secure through changes to facilities

Through the methods outlined in this book, Albrecht demonstrates that effective communication not only makes library users feel more comfortable but also increases staff morale, ensuring the library is place where everyone feels welcome.







[book2.jpg]Moorman, John A., ed. Running a Small Library, 2nd ed. New York: Neal- Schuman, 2015. 025.1Runni, 2015 ed.  .025.1Runni 2015 ed. ISBN9780838912737
Since running a small library public, academic, school, or special often means making do with little or no staff, this challenging task calls for its own set of skills and expertise. That's where Moorman's how-to manual comes in, offering guidance on every essential aspect of what it takes to run a small library. Fully revised and updated, including a new chapter on digital library services, the second edition covers such day-to-day issues as:

  *   Budgeting, from planning to advocacy
  *   Developing and implementing policies and procedures
  *   Maintaining facilities
  *   Acquisition, cataloging, and collection development and management on a shoestring
  *   Circulation
  *   Programming, outreach, and community partnerships
  *   Library technology, from computers and networks to automation systems and beyond

Also featured is an updated resource section listing furniture, automation, book, and periodical vendors; electronic discussion and support groups; professional organizations; and resources for more information. This book is a must-have for any solo librarian or library manager with a small staff.
