New Gale Middle School Database: Research In Context [RIC]Gale released a new middle school product for students in grades 6-8. Research In Context brings together content from and replaces the following databases: InfoTrac Junior, Discovering Collection, Junior Reference Collection, and Student Resource Center Junior. (The latter is different from Student Resources In Context, which is not changing). Research In Context features a modern interface and tool set consistent with Gale's In Context products. Content is cross-disciplinary, focusing on core curriculum areas of literature, science, and U.S. and world history. Read more about it on the Gale blog, the Research In Context product page, FAQ, or Tip Sheet. Watch the Gale webinar calendar and tutorials page for opportunities to learn more about the new database. Research In Context is available in the Gale common menu, and the databases that were consolidated will be removed from Oregon accounts as of July 1st. To add a link and the icon to your library's database page, visit the Resources Links page of the Oregon Statewide Databases Library Support Portal. Questions?

Library Support Portal for Gale Databases Updated [GALELogo]The Oregon Statewide Databases Library Support Portal has been redesigned! Libraries can use the portal to find information and resources related to the Gale databases in Oregon's state contract. Use the portal to: * Locate the URLs, Icons, MARC Records, and Widgets available for individual databases * Access training and webinar materials * Obtain marketing materials such as posters, table tents, bookmarks, and more Public, tribal, and academic libraries can now use the same portal to access these resources. School library staff should continue to use OSLIS to access the Gale databases but can take advantage of other resources on this portal; contact Jen Maurer for further assistance. If you need assistance using the portal, or have any other questions, please contact Arlene Weible, Electronic Services Consultant. Katie Anderson Wins Lampman Award [KatieAnderson]The Children's Services Division of the Oregon Library Association (OLA) selected Katie Anderson to receive the 2015 Evelyn Sibley Lampman Award. The award was established in 1982 to honor an Oregon author, librarian, or educator who has made a significant contribution to Oregon in the fields of children's literature and library services. This year's award was presented at the OLA Conference in Eugene in April 2015. Katie has been the Youth Services Consultant at the Oregon State Library since 2006. MaryKay Dahlgreen summed up Katie's outstanding contributions as follows: "Katie is deeply committed to excellent library service for children and their caregivers and is an excellent spokesperson for that in all corners of our state." In the presentation of her award, her library colleagues' praised her knowledge and responsiveness, emphasizing that whenever a youth services question comes up, the first response is often "Just ask Katie!" Congratulations Katie! New Members Appointed to Government Information and Library Services Advisory Council At their April 15, 2105 meeting, the Oregon State Library Board of Trustees appointed Matt Ausec, Jeannette Hulse, and Donna McKeever to the Government Information and Library Services Advisory Council. Council members advise staff on strategies for better serving the information and reference needs of Oregon state government agencies. The Council also assists staff in creating effective strategies and programs to inform state employees about services and to train state employees in the use of these services. We are very excited to have Matt, Jeannette, and Donna as new members. Matt works as an Implementation Team Lead with the Oregon Health Authority, Jeannette is an Operations and Policy Analyst with the Department of Human Services, and Donna works as a Crash Data Technician for the Department of Transportation. 2015 Government Information and Library Services Advisory Council Members: * Daniel Pettit, Department of Transportation * Donna McKeever, Department of Transportation * Jan McCoy, Education Department * Jeannette Hulse, Department of Human Services * Julie Yamaka, Secretary of State * Julie Curtis, Department of State Lands * Matt Ausec, Oregon Health Authority * Robin Brandt, Department of Human Services Student Worker Kate Anderson Leaves OSL (Important note: Kate Anderson and Katie Anderson are two different people!) [KateAnderson]Kate Anderson, student office worker for Government Information and Library Services at the Oregon State Library, graduates from Western Oregon University in June. Kate's dual degree is a BS in Gerontology and a minor in Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmacology, along with a BS in Public Policy and Administration with a Health Policy Concentration. Kate has worked at the State Library for nearly three years (July would have been her third anniversary). Her regular duties are shelving and assisting with projects in Technical Services. In addition to those duties, Kate did a number of special projects: correcting item locations in the online catalog, weeding, shifting, and inputting hundreds of brief catalog records for Oregon Vertical File folders. All of this work significantly enhanced access to OSL's collections. Kate says her favorite task is shelving: "It is calming to me and I get to listen to music." Her least favorite is vacuuming in the stacks. Besides being known for her excellent work, Kate is also legendary for the fabulous cupcakes she brings for special occasions. She says she particularly likes baking cupcakes with fillings: "It brings an extra level to the cupcake flavor in the end and it keeps me in the kitchen longer." But her all-time favorite is Key lime with graham-cracker crust. Government Information and Library Services manager Margie Harrison says "Kate always seems to have a smile on her face. You'd think that five months of shifting over 2,000 shelves of materials in unusually warm stacks would dampen her spirits, but not Kate. With her upbeat and can-do attitude, she keeps us all smiling." Staff member Robby Pietz, who has worked with Kate on several projects, says she is "...an outstanding, hard working and dedicated part of this agency; her presence will be greatly missed." After graduation, Kate hopes to get a job with the Oregon Department of Justice. Her goals also include a law degree. OSL staff thanks Kate for all her contributions to the State Library and wishes her the best in her future career. State Library Purchases Statewide License for Edge Initiative [Edge]The Oregon State Library is pleased to announce that all Oregon public and tribal libraries can participate in the Edge Initiative for free beginning July 1, 2015. The Edge Toolkit has been designed to assist public and tribal libraries in meeting their individual demands and challenges of providing technology and technology services in alignment with community priorities and to plan for future technology needs.

Please contact Darci Hanning (503-378-2527) for more information or to get started! Answerland Moves to State Library on July 1st [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. On July 1st, Answerland will officially move to the Oregon State Library. Activities around acquiring new software and a new permanent position at the State Library to coordinate the Answerland service are moving forward. The current Answerland software will remain in use through the end of September. The transition team (made up of Darci Hanning, Technology Development Consultant for Library at Oregon State Library, Rachael Short, Answerland Coordinator at Multnomah County Library, and Emily Papagni, Answerland Support Librarian at Multnomah County Library) continues working on transition activities, guided by input from the Answerland Advisory Board. Please note that 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). Return to top of page Other Library News Plan Now to get "Outside the Lines 2015" for September 13th - 19th Outside the Lines is an initiative designed by Colorado library marketers and directors that gets libraries "walking the walk" - taking action to show our communities how important libraries are and how they've changed. To accomplish this, a weeklong celebration demonstrating the creativity and innovation happening in libraries has been established. Whether your organization is large or small, a school library or a public library, you can participate by hosting at least one event or campaign that: * Gets people thinking - and talking - about libraries in a different way * Showcases the library out in the community as well as in the library * Highlights how your library is relevant to people's lives * Represents your local community * Is active versus passive - gets people engaged * Is extraordinary and unexpected * Most importantly, is fun! For more information (including access to upcoming and archived webinars, resources, and ideas) please visit Outside the Lines on Facebook or their website.

Here is the latest from Senator Ron Wyden's office about reform of the surveillance system: *Wyden and Paul Release Joint Amendments, Call For Votes On Proposals to Expand Surveillance* *Reforms * *Washington, D.C.* ? Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., announced nine amendments to reform U.S. surveillance programs, enhance protections for American?s personal information and improve transparency regarding intelligence activities. Wyden and Paul called on Republican leaders to allow votes on amendments to strengthen privacy protections, rather than forcing votes on amendments that would water down the USA Freedom Act. The joint amendments would: ? *Amendment 1446: *Require the government to get a warrant before collecting personal information from third parties ? *Amendment 1441: *Raise the standard for government collection of call records under FISA from ?reasonable grounds? to ?probable cause? ? *Amendment 1442: *Limit the government?s ability to use information gathered under intelligence authorities in unrelated criminal cases ? *Amendment 1443: *Make it easier to challenge the use of illegally obtained surveillance information in criminal proceedings ? *Amendment 1454: *Prohibit the government from requiring hardware and software companies to deliberately weaken encryption and other security features ? *Amendment 1444: *Clarify the bill?s definition of ?specific selection terms? ? *Amendment 1445: *Require court approval for National Security Letters ? *Amendment 1455: *Prohibit the government from conducting warrantless reviews of Americans? email and other communications under section 702 of the Foreign intelligence Surveillance Act ? *Amendment 1460: *Strengthen the bill with additional provisions from previously introduced surveillance reform legislation.

USA FREEDOM on its way to the President?s desk Posted by: Adam Eisgrau June 2, 2015 in Privacy & Surveillance Moments ago, after three amendments that would have gutted it failed in a series of roll call votes, the USA FREEDOM Act passed the Senate by a vote of 67 to 32. Having previously passed the House by one of the largest bipartisan margins in recent history (338- 88), the first serious reform of the nation?s surveillance law is now en route to the White House where the President is poised to sign it this evening. Victories like this don?t just happen. They take collaboration with equally committed organizations and activists, and they take thousands of librarians fighting for years to restore the civil liberties of Americans eroded by the PATRIOT Act and the excesses of the NSA and other agencies. This first but important victory is yours. Tomorrow, the fight for further badly needed reforms will go on. Tonight, ALA thanks its allies in Washington and, most of all, you ? for your commitment, for your passion, and for answering the call when it came to contact Congress and demand that it right serious wrongs. You passed the USA FREEDOM Act today because you answered the call.

We also wrote, ?Tomorrow, the fight for further badly needed reforms will go on.? Well, it?s now ?tomorrow? and there is indeed more work that Congress can and must do as this post goes to press to truly prevent the ongoing wholesale invasion of our privacy in the name of national security. The House of Representatives is now considering a large bill (H.R. 2578) to fund a variety of agencies, including the National Institute of Standards and Technology. NIST, among many other things, develops technical standards for the internet and, you guessed it, for internet security ? that means encryption. The NSA, of course, has for some time wanted NIST to incorporate ?back doors? ? in effect, deliberately designed secret security weaknesses ? into its encryption standards for use across the web and the world to make it easier for the NSA to continue to collect our communications in unfathomable volume. The NSA wants to do this notwithstanding that more than 150 leading cybersecurity and encryption experts just warned in a letter to the President that back doors are a horrible idea that will almost certainly lead to profoundly damaging security breaches at the hands of cyber-criminals and hostile foreign governments. ?Secret? back door algorithms, it seems, have a way of not staying so secret. Congressman Thomas Massie (R-KY4) will today offer an eight-line amendment to the appropriations bill before the House that will nail closed the back door that the NSA wants by forbidding NIST from using any of its appropriated funds to consult with the NSA or CIA about intentionally weakening NIST encryption protocols. *ALA calls on every Member of the House to support the important and, unfortunately, critically necessary Massie amendment to H.R. 2578. * http://www.districtdispatch.org/2015/06/slam-internet-standards-back-door-on-nsa/ -- *Diedre Conkling* *Lincoln County Library DistrictP.O.

MK Dear Colleagues and Friends. I hope this email finds you well and looking forward to an exciting summer. At 6 p.m. ET, Monday June 8th, Knight Foundation will be livestreaming a conversation (http://knightfoundation.org/live/) with author and thought leader John Palfrey on ways to rethink libraries in the digital age, based on his new book Bibliotech. As you may know, Palfrey makes a compelling argument that libraries matter even more in the age of Google. Our complex world of ever-evolving information sources requires more guides, guidance and curators than ever, he argues. In addition, libraries offer a space to connect people to ideas and opportunities, providing a solution to the challenging issues of unequal access to education, jobs and information. I was hoping you could share this information with your staff, patrons or community. It will be streamed beginning at 6 p.m. EST on June 8th at kngihtfoundation.org/live (http://knightfoundation.org/live/). Thanks for your help in spreading the word and I hope you are able to watch the event this coming Monday. Regards, George Jorge Martinez Vice-President / Chief Technology Officer John S. and James L.

Board! It's that time of year when we start thinking about the continual renewal of the PLD Board with fresh faces and new perspectives. We are currently seeking candidates for the PLD Executive Board for the 2015-2016 year. New positions will begin in September 2015. We are seeking nominees for two Director-at-Large positions (2 year terms), Secretary (1 year term) and Vice Chair/Chair Elect (3 year term). For more information about the responsibilities of these positions, please visit http://www.olaweb.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=227. The Public Library Division of OLA represents all public libraries in Oregon. The purpose of the PLD is to promote public library service and development, to promote the potential for increasing cooperation among public libraries, to represent the interests and concerns of public libraries in relation to the Oregon Library Association and the Oregon State Library and to develop legislative priorities for public libraries and other issues as may be pertinent to the Division. We are involved in a number of exciting and interesting projects including SWAT (small improvement projects for libraries), an online policies clearinghouse, an annual library directors meeting and workshop, and the ever exciting review of public library standards (let me assure you, this can be contentiously fun stuff!), in addition to all the regular conference stuff (we already have cool stuff in the works!). Joining the PLD Executive Board is a great way to meet new people and network with public library staff from around the state. Current Board members come from the Oregon coast, central Oregon, the Willamette Valley and the Portland Metro area. Please contact me (mcole at orcity.org) by June 15, specifying the Board position you are interested in. Remember, you must be a member of OLA and the Public Library Division to be considered. Elections will be held in July. This has probably been my favorite OLA job. There is some serious momentum with this Board and PLD activities. This is a great time to consider applying for a board position.

It was a lively, interactive program filled with idea-sharing, and it is inspiring to be around so much collective passion and expertise! Here are some major themes from the "snapshot survey" initial results: - Majority perspective from 2-year college faculty with dev ed experience - Half of librarians who responded not involved in dev ed resign efforts - Overwhelming support for IL outcomes in dev ed courses/program (not just gen ed IL outcomes) - Qualitative comments revealed differences in opinion on how IL should be integrated into dev ed courses: some feel IL content in dev ed should be scaffolded and a ?stepping stone? to credit-bearing classes, while others want to develop relevant IL content within dev ed program itself We transcribed all the notes from the program's group activities into our PowerPoint slides, notes regarding best practices/activities regarding dev ed and IL at your institutions, as well as notes regarding identified gaps/needs. We then incorporated those notes ? as well as pictures! ? into our PowerPoint presentation.

Hockey fans are looking forward to bidding on an authentic hockey puck signed by San Jose Sharks goalie Antti Niemi, and foodies will be hungry to place a bid on a $70 gift certificate to the iconic Buck's of Woodside. All proceeds from the silent auction will go toward the iSchool's scholarship program. For the 2014-2015 academic year, $28,000 in scholarships have been awarded to highly deserving students from what Dr. Cheryl Stenstrom, chair of the Student Awards and Scholarship Committee, deemed "a particularly strong cohort of candidates."

Aguinaga believes in using librarianship to create a positive impact on her community and is currently the director of curriculum for DIYGirls.org, a non-profit organization that provides technology education to girls in underserved areas of Los Angeles. "I see myself applying the work I know and love with DIY Girls to my future position as a digital literacy advocate," said Aguinaga.

Solis manages an adult literacy and volunteer program at a public library south of San Diego, California, and is actively involved with the San Diego Council on Literacy and LIBROS, the San Diego and Imperial Counties chapter of REFORMA.

OHSU Historical Collections & Archives, the special collections department of OHSU Library, holds extensive 19th-20th century materials on public health in Oregon, including manuscripts, photographs, publications, maps, and more. Historians, journalists, and health professionals have long consulted these materials for research on the history of public health. However, rich collections of data in these resources are locked up in analog format, and therefore largely hidden to patrons in scientific research fields such as public health, environmental science, epidemiology, and bioinformatics. This legacy data has potential to be of great benefit in today's world, if made digitally accessible through curation and electronic transformation. Among the collections selected for this project are death records, public health surveys, Oregon's earliest medical journals, photographs, and institutional records. Many of the records deal with minorities, women, rural populations, and those under-served in health care. OHSU Library will provide the public with a robust, online resource for accessing both the digitized materials and the data they contain. The project partners OHSU Historical Collections & Archives with the OHSU Ontology Development Group, as part of the library's efforts to develop innovative data services. The project director is Maija Anderson, Head of Historical Collections & Archives. The project team includes Max Johnson, University Archivist; Shahim Essaid, Ontology Development Group; and student assistants Sherra Hopkins and Rachel Blume. OHSU Library is honored to be able to provide scholars, students, researchers, and the public with ready access to these materials, which have the potential to help improve public health in Oregon today. This project is supported in whole by the Institute of Museum and Library Services through the Library Services and Technology Act, administered by the Oregon State Library.

Sager ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Don Wood Date: Mon, Jun 8, 2015 at 9:08 AM Subject: [alacro-l] Five ethnic affiliates of ALA have collaborated to officially form the Joint Council of Librarians of Color, Inc. (JCLC Inc.) To: "alacro-l at lists.ala.org" The five ethnic affiliates of the American Library Association have collaborated to officially form the Joint Council of Librarians of Color, Inc.(JCLC Inc.), a nonprofit organization that advocates for and addresses the common needs of the ethnic affiliates. Coming together through JCLC Inc. are the Black Caucus of the American Library Association (BCALA), the Chinese American Librarians Association (CALA), the American Indian Library Association (AILA), the Asian/Pacific American Librarians Association (APALA) and REFORMA: The National Association to Promote Library & Information Services to Latinos and the Spanish-speaking. These five organizations each have a decades-long tradition of promoting the library and information needs of their constituent communities through various endeavors, including providing scholarships for students, awarding grants to libraries for cultural programing, acquiring and donating relevant library materials and advising ALA and other professional organizations of constituent concerns. The newly formed nonprofit follows and takes its name from two successful joint conferences co-sponsored by these organizations; the first held in 2006 in Dallas and the second in 2012 in Kansas City, Missouri. Serving as the first officers for the Joint Council are Dr. Jerome Offord, Jr. as president, Dr. Kenneth Yamashita as vice president, Dora Ho as treasurer, Heather Devine-Hardy as secretary and Isabel Espinal as director at large. ?The JCLC concept was just too powerful not to establish an organization that could keep it going strongly forward,? Offord said. ?When our organizations come together as a united front and put our energies and numbers together, we are better able to confront and address certain critical issues. We believe there is great power in this unity.? JCLC Inc.?s official purpose statement is: ?To promote librarianship within communities of color, support literacy and the preservation of history and cultural heritage, collaborate on common issues, and to host the Joint Conference of Librarians of Color every four to five years.? JCLC Inc. has not yet established its Web presence, but each member organization has a web site where the public can find more information: BCALA (www.bcala.org), CALA (http://cala-web.org/), APALA ( http://www.apalaweb.org/), AILA (http://ailanet.org/) and REFORMA ( http://www.reforma.org/).

Emily-Jane?s transcript is online at www.answerland.org/awards In this transcript, the patron was looking for help in finding someone to talk to about her pregnancy and with locating information about maintaining her health during the pregnancy. Emily-Jane?s tone throughout was welcoming, with a touch of humor that seemed to put the patron at ease. Emily-Jane followed the Answerland rubric throughout the reference interaction. When she asked clarifying questions, she learned that the patron first wanted to find information about blood pressure and pregnancy. Emily-Jane referred the patron to MedlinePlus and provided her with a link to results and search terms to use. The patron replied, ?Wow. This was a really good place to start!!? The patron then asked for advice in telling her parents about her pregnancy and indicated she was sixteen years old. Emily-Jane used a warm and sympathetic tone and provided helpful guidance about possible sources for help in the patron?s community. She followed up on the additional age information the patron provided and provided her with online reference sources aimed at teens. The Answerland Quality Team is impressed with Emily-Jane?s reference interview and her exceptionally sympathetic, approachable and helpful demeanor through the transaction. This notable award is also noteworthy because it will be the first time that a librarian has received the award twice, which speaks to what an extraordinary librarian Emily-Jane is. Emily-Jane first won a notable transcript award in 2007. As an expression of our appreciation, Emily-Jane was presented with flowers and a certificate. Please join us in congratulating her!

Message-ID: I was agonizing about this year's theme, because I felt it promoted screen-time and commercialism, and wishing that Heydi were still here, because I wanted her to take the lead with this theme, she would have rocked it. But I didn't have Heydi, and I needed to make the program work within my convictions. We had already chosen a few local heroes, then I had an idea: Why not ask the local schools to each choose a hero from among their staffs? The schools loved the idea, they got bookmarks and posters with their school heroes, the kids are totally stoked that one of their buttons (we give away buttons instead of toys) will have someone from their school on it. We have 2 custodians, a music teacher, a PE teacher and a Vice-Principal. So what I thought might be the most lame program ever is turning into one of our most popular programs ever. My hope is that more kids will participate because of this connection to their school. We plan a huge Super-Hero Training Day at the end of August and have invited all of the local and school heroes to join us! I'm trying to think of how to make this connection with the schools happen again next year if it works out as well as I hope it does.

Sager *BLOG* Senate Leaders Rush End-Run on Personal Privacy Apparently, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr (R-NC) learned nothing from the overwhelming outpouring of opposition to the worst of the USA PATRIOT Act earlier this month that led to passage of the USA FREEDOM Act. They?re using the Senate Rules to try to ram through ?- *as early as tomorrow* -- frankly awful, privacy-hostile legislation that?s received no public hearing or Senate floor debate as an amendment to a Department of Defense funding measure. The bill, innocuously dubbed the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (?CISA?), would expose enormous amounts of your personal data to federal, state, and even local law enforcement ? without a warrant! Along with many coalition partners, ALA strongly opposed CISA in a letter to Senate leaders last March. Sometimes, you just can?t explain anything better than a colleague and Gabe Rottman of the ACLU?s Washington Office rang out an alarm yesterday (with many links to detailed background information) about this issue and the immediate procedural threat in the Senate as clear as the Liberty Bell: ?So, what does the bill . . . do? It?s a surveillance bill, pure and simple. It says that any and all privacy laws, including laws requiring a warrant for electronic communications, and those that protect financial, health or even video rental records, do not apply when companies share ?cybersecurity? information, broadly defined, with the government.? Please, take a minute to read his ?*Playing Politics With Cybersecurity and Privacy* ? now. Then, take just 60 more seconds to contact your Senators immediately with a simple message: ?VOTE NO on the ?Burr Amendment? to the defense bill -- or on any such ?information sharing? bill without full public hearings and Senate debate.? *CRAWLER (IN MOTION, PLEASE)* ALERT: Stop Stealth Move in Senate to Authorize Warrantless Assault on Your Privacy! *ALERT TEXT* We knew when the USA FREEDOM Act passed earlier this month that there would be much more work to do to ?on offense? to pass more and badly needed surveillance law reforms. Courtesy of a stealth move by the Senate Majority Leader and Intelligence Committee Chair, however, our first efforts need to be ?on defense? and they need to be NOW. Under cover of a bill claimed to simply permit internet, phone and other companies to share cybersecurity threat information with the government, they?re trying to authorize the NSA, CIA, FBI and many others to share vast amounts of your personal information with law enforcement agencies at every level of government with way too few controls and too little oversight. Worse, they?re trying to ram this invasive bill through the Senate as early as this week without a single public hearing or real debate as an amendment to unrelated legislation. STOP THEM NOW! Please, click here now to tell both of your Senators to VOTE NO on the ?Burr Amendment? to the defense authorization bill -- or on any information sharing bill without full public hearings and Senate debate. *RESPONDER EMAIL TEXT * Dear Senator: I care deeply about my personal privacy . . . and I vote. I also think we need to protect our communications networks from ?cyber? threats. BUT . . . passing a dangerously overbroad bill like the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act, particularly without a single public hearing or a chance for real debate by the full Senate, is not the way to balance civil liberties and security. Please, VOTE NO on the ?Burr Amendment? to the defense authorization bill -- or on any ?cybersecurity? or ?information sharing? bill without full public hearings and Senate debate. Thank you. -- Suzanne L.

There was a recent announcement in the Oregon Legal Research blog about the availability of 1953-1993 & 1999-2011 ORS via the Oregon Legislature's site. This makes running these down so much easier. Bravo! http://blog.oregonlegalresearch.com/2015/06/superseded-oregon-revised-statutes-1953-1993-update.html Do note, there still is a small gap for 1995 & 1997 which will eventually be closed.

Board! It's that time of year when we start thinking about the continual renewal of the PLD Board with fresh faces and new perspectives. We are currently seeking candidates for the PLD Executive Board for the 2015-2016 year. New positions will begin in September 2015. We are seeking nominees for two Director-at-Large positions (2 year terms), Secretary (1 year term) and Vice Chair/Chair Elect (3 year term). For more information about the responsibilities of these positions, please visit http://www.olaweb.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=227. The Public Library Division of OLA represents all public libraries in Oregon. The purpose of the PLD is to promote public library service and development, to promote the potential for increasing cooperation among public libraries, to represent the interests and concerns of public libraries in relation to the Oregon Library Association and the Oregon State Library and to develop legislative priorities for public libraries and other issues as may be pertinent to the Division. We are involved in a number of exciting and interesting projects including SWAT (small improvement projects for libraries), an online policies clearinghouse, an annual library directors meeting and workshop, and the ever exciting review of public library standards (let me assure you, this can be contentiously fun stuff!), in addition to all the regular conference stuff (we already have cool stuff in the works!). Joining the PLD Executive Board is a great way to meet new people and network with public library staff from around the state. Current Board members come from the Oregon coast, central Oregon, the Willamette Valley and the Portland Metro area. Please contact me (mcole at orcity.org) by June 15, specifying the Board position you are interested in. Remember, you must be a member of OLA and the Public Library Division to be considered. Elections will be held in July. This has probably been my favorite OLA job. There is some serious momentum with this Board and PLD activities. This is a great time to consider applying for a board position.

Creativity and Passion for the Information Profession For all the Pinterest fans, we invite you to view the Pinterest boards created by the five recipients of the first-ever Director?s Scholarship for Excellence, awarded by the School of Information at San Jose State University. The scholarship is the first in iSchool history to recognize the potential of new Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) students to serve as information professionals and take a leading role in shaping the profession. Incoming MLIS students were asked to create a Pinterest board that demonstrated either why the student wishes to become an information professional or what sort of future the student envisions as an information professional. Fall 2015 Director?s Scholarship for Excellence Recipients: ? Hannah Blatchford?s board, ?Why I Decided to Become a Librarian ,? uses 29 pins to recount a ?tale of drama, adventure, and intrigue? in five chapters. Her ?chapters? touch upon her own personal history, describe the ways libraries serve their communities, and express her excitement about the journey she is about to begin at the iSchool. ? Katie Monroe?s board, ?Dream Job: Information Professional ? focuses on her passion ?to ensure the public is able to access and learn from rare books and special collections.? Using 41 pins, Monroe creates a collage of the past, present, and future of libraries. ? Beth Berlin-Stephens, a new teacher librarian in Pinole, California, used hashtags on her 43 pins to explain why she wants to be an information professional . The pins she chose focus on diversity, information literacy, and the creative ways libraries can encourage reading. ? Janine Bauer used her Pinterest board, ?I Want to ,? to focus on an increasingly important part of the librarian?s job: marketing. Each pin?s image, read left to right, explains what she wants to do with her education. ? Carina Langstraat used her board, ?The Courageous Librarian ,? to express how she was inspired to become an information professional by librarians of the past and present. Her 48 pins demonstrate how librarians ?regularly stand up to those who want to restrict our access to information--and that takes courage.? The Director ?s Scholarship for Excellence will be awarded to five more MLIS students in spring 2016. Applications for admission in spring 2016 open August 1, 2015, and admitted students can apply for the scholarship beginning September 1, 2015. In order to be eligible, incoming students need to have an undergraduate GPA of at least 3.5. More information about the Director?s Scholarship for Excellence and other iSchool scholarships is available on the Scholarship, Award, and Grant Information web page. * The Director?s Scholarship for Excellence was made possible by generous donations from alumni, students, faculty, and friends. More support is needed in order to continue awarding the scholarship to future incoming students. Donations may be made online using a credit or debit card via the school?s scholarship donation page . Please see the full news story on the iSchool ?s website.

Message-ID: Things are heating up for summer! Check out what we were up to this spring with the latest from the OLA Quarterly - Volume 21, Issue 1, on the theme of Growth. http://commons.pacificu.edu/olaq/ And add your ideas to our next issue: The OLA Quarterly seeks submissions for its upcoming Summer 2015 issue, Oregon Libraries: Ideas at Work. The mission of the summer issue is to showcase what is happening in libraries around Oregon. This could include reporting on special events, presenting new ideas, implementation and design of new systems and processes, a description of what it is like to work in your library or just about anything else you would like to write about. Maybe you are excited about new developments you heard about at the ALA Conference in San Francisco or a more local conference. Maybe you have been thinking about a new idea for a while, and are looking for a venue to share it with others. The theme is intentionally broad to attract a wide array of submissions. This issue will be like a summer potluck, except instead of food, people bring their favorite ideas to share with like-minded library enthusiasts from around our beautiful state. Consider yourself invited to the party! Contact us NOW to contribute!

It is a privilege and an honor to be leading a membership organization with such a deep history. LYRASIS has roots dating back to 1936 and was created by information professionals who saw the need for collaboration and leadership to ensure that their content could be discovered, accessed and used. I believe that this need is as critical today as it was then. In fact, it is now a mandate. Technology and content were viewed as important then. Today, they are an absolute necessity. A little about me: for the past 10 years I have worked tirelessly with my fantastic team at the Internet Archive, along with more than 1,000 archives, libraries and museums, to create a global digital library currently used by 300+ million people each year. Together we developed standards, tools, services and training to unite disparate content communities to serve not just local institutions, but a global community of digital scholars and citizens. My professional background combines both the for-profit and non-profit worlds with the fields of information, technology and knowledge. The organizations I have led all had to rise to the same challenges LYRASIS faces today: connecting the needs of users with services and products that create value all while ensuring sustainability. My professional path has intersected with Silicon Valley, academia and the wider public, from San Francisco to Washington, D.C., from London to China and from South Africa to Rio. I enjoy embracing new concepts and ideas and thrive on working to turn them into realities. Together with you, our members (and future members), we will do the same at LYRASIS! In my first 100 days, I will be focusing on the following: 1. Reaching out to as many of you as possible to understand your goals and needs - after all, our mission is to help you realize your mission; 2. Clarifying, reviewing and, where necessary, reinvigorating our offerings, services and deliverables to you; 3. Determining when are we meeting the mark and when we are not; and 4. Understanding how we at LYRASIS can use and enhance the best of our talents to meet the most critical needs of your organizations. I will need your help, and I would like to ask for your candid and honest feedback. In exchange, my team and I will strive to deliver enhanced value for your membership, as well as vital services and products that are needed not just for today, but also for tomorrow. I am excited to meet you all and quite frankly I look forward to having a lot of fun as we continue to work together to make content more discoverable, accessible and usable. Come visit us at ALA in our NEW booth #2341. I'll be there during the opening session on Friday, June 26 from 5:30 - 7 pm PT to meet you in person, or let me know directly if you'd like to schedule a meeting. And stay tuned for more updates. LYRASIS is on the move! I want to close by thanking Kate Nevins, the outgoing Executive Director who skillfully served LYRASIS and this community for more than 20 years. We all wish her the best in her next chapter. Also, I want to thank all of you for your support over the years. LYRASIS and our community of members have great opportunities ahead of us. Stay tuned for updates on new initiatives coming your way!

Among fall 2009 ninth-graders who were attending or planned to attend a postsecondary institution in 2013, approximately 42 percent enrolled in or planned to enroll in a bachelor's degree program and 34 percent in an associate's degree program. Among respondents who were taking or planning to take postsecondary classes on November 1st, 2013, and who identified a major in which they were interested, 23 percent identified a science, technology, engineering, or math (STEM) major.

Hurd was the longest-serving part-time librarian in the county. ?People will look up and see her name and remember her every day,? her husband Arthur Stephen Hurd said to Post and Courier. As we wrote last week, Hurd was one of nine people lost in Mother AME Emanuel Church. She was the regional manager at St. Andrews, and had worked as a librarian for 31 years. The library system closed all 16 locations to honor her. ?She was kind and loving. She would bend over backwards to help you. And she was very patient,? said Hurd?s fellow librarian Alyce Houston. In addition to the change in the name of the library, the board of trustees at the College of Charleston, Hurd?s alma mater, voted to change the name of its Colonial Scholarship to the Cynthia Graham Hurd Memorial Scholarship. Her family is also starting the Cynthia Graham Hurd Fund for Reading and Literacy as a part of Freedom School Partners. ?The fund will ensure that children have access to books that strengthen their literacy skills and access to the support of a community that believes in them, which are values Cynthia Hurd held closely to her heart,? her brother, former North Carolina Senator Malcolm Graham, told the Charlotte Observer. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
