Helena: Independent Publishing Company, 1907 *Martha Kohl at the Montana Historical Society passed along this post from their blog, Women?s History Matters . The article was written by independent historian Annie Hanshaw and details Howey?s rise to the position of head librarian of the Historical and Miscellaneous Department of the Montana State Library?and her termination in an astonishing display of sexism and injustice*: But Howey?s tenure as head librarian ended abruptly in 1907 when Montana?s attorney general, Albert Galen, published an opinion finding that a woman could not serve in that position because women did not have the right to vote. He argued, ?It being apparent that the Librarian of the Historical Library of the State is a public officer, it necessarily follows that, in order for a person to be eligible to hold such office, he must be qualified to vote at general elections and for state officers in this State, as provided by Section 11, Article IX, of the State Constitution.? Howey was a prominent and popular figure, and Galen?s opinion drew immediate criticism. The Sheridan Enterprise advised Galen to ?Leave Mrs. Howey alone and get busy on your own affairs.? And the Joliet Journal jokingly suggested that Howey should replace Galen: ?From our observation, Montana would now be much better equipped in her law department had she elected a woman like Mrs. Howie[sic] to the office of attorney general.? [?] Even as the board of trustees chose her replacement, they adopted a resolution stating their regret that they were legally prevented from rehiring Mrs. Howey and ?their high appreciation of the eminent services rendered by Mrs. Howey as Librarian.?

Library Board News State Library Board Met in Salem on February 13th The Oregon State Library Board of Trustees met on Friday, February 13, 2015 at the Oregon State Library in Salem. The Board discussed the State Library's Strategic Plan with staff of the Coraggio Group and heard an overview of the 2015 Legislative Session. State Library Board to Meet at the Salem Public Library on March 20th The Oregon State Library Board will meet on Friday, March 20, 2015 at the Salem Public Library in Salem. The Board will hear a report on Libraries of Oregon and will discuss changes to Oregon Administrative Rule (OAR) 543. For more information about the proposed changes to OAR 543, please visit the Proposed Rulemaking Hearing Information webpage on the State Library's website.

Return to top of page State Library News Oregon Department of Transportation Library - A Special Library with a Vital Mission [ODOTResearchLogo]While considered to be part of the ODOT Research Section, the ODOT Library serves as a technical information resource for the entire Oregon Department of Transportation. The library also provides transportation-specific information and research assistance for other state, county, and local government agencies, and is open to the public via phone, email, or in-person by appointment. In addition to technical engineering and transportation publications, journals and standards, the library houses the ODOT History Center, which offers a unique collection of historical photos, reports, maps, and documents covering the 100+ year history of the agency. This collection offers resources often tapped by authors and researchers interested in the progression of the highway system within the state. The library offers interlibrary loans without charge through OCLC (symbol OTT). Outside requests involving extensive research may be subject to a Public Records Request. As is the case with most transportation libraries, the ODOT Library has a solo librarian, so networking and collaboration is very important in order to serve such a large, diverse customer base. The Transportation Division of the Special Libraries Association maintains a listserv allowing communication between members, and librarian Laura Wilt serves as chair-elect of that division. Other networking organizations allow for collaborative projects, including a current program creating a collection of LibGuides focused on topics of interest to the transportation community. For more information contact Laura Wilt, ODOT Library, Laura.e.wilt at odot.state.or.us, 503-986-3280.

Reports to the Oregon Legislature - A Useful Resource [ReportstotheLeg]Have you ever received a question from an angry patron who received traffic violation in the mail for running a red light? Did you know that all Oregon municipalities utilizing a photo red light system are required to submit a "process and outcome" evaluation report to the Legislature each odd numbered year (ORS 810.434)? Where can these reports be found? We are not far into the 2015 Legislative Session and undoubtedly, the Oregon State Legislature will enact bills that mandate reports be created on a number of different topics. What about reports that were mandated by prior legislatures? Unfortunately, not all mandated reports are created and not all were collected. Recognizing this issue, the Legislature passed 2011 HB 3105 and the Oregon State Library created a resource to provide ongoing access to these required reports. The Oregon State Library maintains a "Reports to the Oregon Legislature" blog where you can locate a number of these required reports. You can learn more from our "About" link and our holdings are relatively complete from about 2011 onward. If you are looking for a report issued prior to 2011, please check the Oregon State Library catalog and the Oregon State Archives pages. Reports are tagged, by agency, so you can quickly review other agency issued reports. Using the Legislature's eSubscribe service, you can sign up for alerts from the "Legislative Library" and periodically you will receive notice of new reports added to the blog. Another valuable resource to locate reports is available via the "Publications and Reports" page on the Oregon State Legislature's site. Please let us know if we can be of assistance to you during this busy legislative season. Return to top of page Other Library News Summer Learning Summit Occurred in February [SL3Logo]On February 10th, legislators and other stakeholders attended the Summer Learning Summit at the Salem Convention Center, sponsored by OregonASK. They learned about summer learning loss and how it can be prevented by providing underserved youth access to expanded learning opportunities, nutritional lunches, library materials, and the summer reading program at their local elementary school-the SL3 program. The desired outcome of the summit was the following: Through advocacy, key stakeholders and communities will acknowledge that poverty and lack of access have a significantly negative impact on children and youth. Poverty and lack of access increase summer learning loss and perpetuate the opportunity gap Highlights of the Summer Learning Summit include a keynote address by Matthew Boulay, the founder of the National Summer Learning Association, and a panel discussion facilitated by MaryKay Dahlgreen which included Heather McNeil (Deschutes Public Library), Robin Rolfe (James John Elementary School Library), and Nancy Albritton (Central 13J school libraries).

The American Library Association (ALA) Public Programs Office, in collaboration with the Space Science Institute?s *National Center for Interactive Learning*, the Lunar and Planetary Institute and the Afterschool Alliance, invites public libraries to apply to host one of three science- and technology-focused traveling exhibitions. The interactive exhibitions are designed to promote STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) learning opportunities for all ages. Each exhibition will travel to eight sites in 2016 and 2017. Roughly 800 square feet of space is required for optimal display. Applicants should apply for *one* of the following exhibitions: - *Discover Space* will teach audiences how stars and planetary systems form and the role that gravity plays in our universe. Visitors will learn the similarities and differences between Earth and Mars and be introduced to the tools scientists use to explore planets. The exhibit will examine asteroids and comets, look at the sun as a dynamic star, and reveal electric and magnetic changes that occur in space. Exhibit components will include a 42-inch touch table on which visitors can play a variety of astronomy simulation games; a collection of meteorite specimens, including a touchable, 10-pound meteorite and a solar monitoring station. A Tinkering Station will include various hands-on activities such as designing and building robotic devices using Lego bricks. - *Discover Earth* focuses on local earth science topics ? such as weather, water cycle and ecosystem changes ? as well as a global view of our changing planet. Visitors will learn how the global environment changes ? and is changed by ? the local environment of all exhibition hosts? communities. Interactive, multimedia displays ? such as an 18-inch-diameter Magic PlanetTM globe and a 42-inch touch table ? will allow visitors to interact with digital information in a dynamic way, encouraging new perspectives on our planet. The exhibit components will incorporate personal narratives, stunning graphics, video, animations, weather artifacts and animal specimens. A Tinkering Station will include various hands-on activities such as puzzles and art projects. - *Discover Tech* will help audiences understand the nature of 21st-century technology and engineering ? both high- and low-tech ? and their potential for helping to solve many of the world?s problems. Through interactive displays, the exhibition will illustrate that engineers are real people who, through a creative and collaborative design process, arrive at practical solutions to help solve society?s problems. Visitors will learn about the fundamental principles of energy, become aware of their own energy use, and understand the impact of engineering on communities worldwide. For example, using a hand-crank generator, they can produce electrical energy that can be used to power various types of light bulbs and learn which one uses the least energy to operate. Nearby, the Solar Power station will demonstrate the basic functioning of solar energy by allowing visitors to experiment with a light source and a large solar panel. A Tinkering Station will include various hands-on building activities, including an explanation of how gears work. All grantees will receive: - one exhibition for a 12-week display period; shipping is free for grantees; - a cash grant of $1,000 to cover the cost of public programming related to the exhibition; - a *Discover* teacher guide, family guide and hands-on activities for different age groups to help libraries develop programs and support classroom visits; - a two-day, in-person orientation for two exhibition coordinators per site; - periodic webinars on timely STEM topics to support programming in libraries; - promotional materials to aid in local outreach; and - access to the STAR_Net Online Community and a national network of STEM-oriented organizations. Grantees will be required to plan public programs related to the exhibition and to participate in the STAR_Net Online Community throughout the exhibition period. *Full guidelines and an online application are available at * *http://apply.ala.org/STARNet-Discover**. The application deadline is April 7, 2015.* For libraries that do not have the space to display an 800-square-foot exhibition, ALA and its partners will accept applications for smaller versions of the *Discover* exhibitions in summer 2015. These smaller exhibitions ? *Explore Space*, *Explore Earth *and *Explore Tech* ? will require roughly 200 square feet of display space. Check http://www.ala.org/programming/ in June 2015 for further details. *The Discover* exhibitions are made possible through the support of the National Science Foundation. The exhibition and its educational support materials and outreach opportunities are part of the STAR (Science-Technology Activities and Resources) Library Education Network (STAR_Net), a hands-on learning program for libraries and their communities developed by the*National Center for Interactive Learning* at the Space Science Institute.

As a result of that great response, most of the volunteer slots are filled! We could still use some more hosts for the "Dinner with Colleagues" dinners, though! These dinners are an opportunity for conference attendees to have an informal dinner at one of Portland great restaurants. Dinner with colleagues will happen on Thursday night, March 26th. Most of the reservations are for 7:00 or 7:30pm. The role of host is pretty flexible but the basic idea is that the host would be the person who checked in at the restaurant, welcomed people as they sat down at the table. This person would also, ideally, be available via text and/or cell phone in case people get lost or otherwise need to check in. An ideal host would also answer questions about Portland and help keep conversation flowing at the table but the host isn't obligated to do anything particular at the dinner. The host is NOT responsible for paying the bill; each person is responsible for their own meal. Depending on the location of the restaurant, the time of the reservations, and your schedule, it might also be nice to meet people at the convention center earlier in the evening, introduce yourself, and answer any questions about getting to the restaurant OR you might escort the party to the restaurant. Individual hosts can communicate with us about how they would like to handle this part. If you think you might be interested in hosting a table, let me know and I'll give you the link to the list of restaurants and you can sign up for the restaurant that excites you the most! You do not need to be registered for the conference in order to host a table. Best regards, Rachel -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We composed a simple Powerpoint to show upcoming pr= ograms, news, and items of interest. We played with the timing, (for us 3 s= econds a slide is just about right), the color and background (we loaded th= e Master with a soft blue and our logo), and the graphics (photos are great= , a 300 dpi resolution seems to work fine). Every now and then we insert so= mething to jazz the eye further. Maybe a subliminal word? Read? We just lea= ve it up, looping continually, all day long. How to change it? With a real computer on the other end of the TV, we loade= d VNC (Virtual Network Computing- open source under the GNU general public = license) to connect that computer to our library's shared internal drive. W= ith VNC and a password, we can control the display computer from any other = connected computer, even from main to branch and back, and we can change th= e display from minute to minute if we like. Our display has been up and running for two weeks now and all is well. Mayb= e we can cut down on some of the paper brochures. Maybe we should load the = occasional You Tube video (though maybe the repetitive sound would drive th= e Circulation folks crazy). Maybe we could have contests. Lots of fun thoug= hts! Best, Lisa We use an old PC with a looping Powerpoint presentation. It displays on a 24" widescreen flat panel mounted behind the circ desk. Easy as pie, gives the patrons something to look at while they wait in line (including a lovely screen that asks them to have their card ready). =20 Linda Cannon Collection Development Librarian Joplin Public Library On Tue, Mar 3, 2015 at 11:11 AM, Ted Smith wrote: > I heard there was a thread on the list about digital displays for > lobbies.

The program is designed for libraries and a variety of other nonprofit organizations that seek to facilitate informed discussion in their communities about the long and fascinating history of Latinos in the United States. The project will feature the PBS documentary series LATINO AMERICANS, a production of WETA Washington, DC, as a public programming cornerstone. Grants of $3,000 and $10,000 will be awarded to up to 200 eligible institutions around the country to support program series that explore key humanities themes presented in the LATINO AMERICANS documentary. Grantees will host scholar-led screening and discussion events that focus on at least two episodes of the six-part series, as well as other programs developed to engage local communities, such as oral history programming, local history exhibits, reading and discussion series, arts and humanities festivals, interpretive tours of historical and cultural sites, and live author and artist events.

She writes, ? I plan on staying at this lovely little library until I retire, just as Linda did.?* Linda McPherson became the community librarian in the small town of Darrington in 1987. She was instrumental in creating the new location in 1990, and was putting the finishing touches on the building in 2008 with the addition of a beautiful meeting room when she hired me. I was the last person that Linda hired, as she retired in January of 2011 after managing the Darrington Library for almost 30 years. Unbeknownst to me at the time, she had opened the door to a close-knit community and welcomed an outsider in. Although most of the stories you may have read about Linda over the last year have been about how she died, I wish to say a little about how she lived. Linda loved People, and not just the magazine that she would read every day on her lunch break while sipping her Diet Coke. She loved all the generations, from the ones that raised her to the peers she grew up with to the children she helped guide from early literacy all the way through graduate school. She never lost touch with her community. She sat alongside our patrons on sunny Saturday afternoons, creating beautiful watercolor paintings in a library program that she had arranged. She helped teenagers apply for college loans and coached our unemployed patrons through the frustrations of job hunting online. Shortly before retiring, you could find her rocking out to Guitar Hero alongside teenage boys in out meeting room, often scoring higher than they would. She served 17 years on the Darrington School Board, including as president. She hugged me when I told her that I was expecting a child, exclaiming ?A library baby!? and I cried when she retired, knowing things would never be the same at our tiny, mountain town branch. She believed in work-life balance, and fostered passions of her own outside of her dutiful work for the library and the community. She was a talented carpenter, a wonderful artist, and had many plans for adventures abroad. She raised two kind and successful children, and she set an example for countless others, myself included. She showed me what it looked like to embody the mission of our organization: to be a community doorway to reading, resources, and lifelong learning, and a center for people, ideas, and culture. I will always be grateful to her for opening the door and welcoming me into the world of libraries and the people who staff them. My tenure at the library has been the most rewarding, most enjoyable position that I have held. I plan to keep that door open for generations to come.

Something as small as rearranging a few chairs and tables can lead to strained interactions if change is not communicated well. What about the larger changes? The tools and processes for communicating change are similar whether the change is minuscule or enormous. Whether you are dealing with customers who have a hard time adjusting to changes in their environment (e.g. rearranged furniture) or staff who are trying to maintain high levels of service in the midst of major changes (e.g. moving to a new building), good communication is imperative at every level of the library. The communication processes, knowledge, and tools presented enable participants to do the following: * Identify and articulate the main issues that arise when change is not communicated well * Identify and repair communication issues with colleagues * Identify and repair communication issues with customers * Improve in their ability to manage customer expectations * Create a basic communication plan * Select appropriate free and low-cost communication tools Presented by Leslie Boyter, Essential Explorations.

They are collecting feedback directly from library staff on the 2015 CSLP summer reading materials available from Upstart. Please take a moment to go online and fill out the survey at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/CSLP_2015_Products. Your input in this survey will help Upstart provide CSLP with the best possible product mix at the most affordable prices. CSLP and Upstart are already almost done with 2016 materials so your feedback will likely impact the 2017 summer reading program. The survey will only be open until March 27, so enough time is left to collect the information for Upstart to present the results at the annual meeting in April. A few things to remember that may help you provide really useful feedback: ? Provide concrete suggestions so they really understand what you?d like to see. o For example, ?More teen incentives? is too vague. List a couple of ideas too like ?More useful teen incentives like ear buds, socks, school supplies, etc.? o For example, ?More in Spanish? is too vague. List exactly which items you think should be available in Spanish. ? The relationship between cost and quality. o For example, if you know of a similar product from a different company that costs less and is higher quality, let them know specifically what that items is and who sells it. This may help Upstart identify potential new manufacturers to work with. o If there is a particular product your community loves and you?d be willing to pay a few more cents per item for better quality, let them know. ? Don?t complain, make a suggestion instead. o For example, instead of ?My library didn?t like the art this year so used our own art.? you might suggest ?My library would like to see more variety in the art such as different types of heroes/athletes/etc, gender represented equally, different animals (i.e. races/ethnicities) so we have art to pick and choose from to better reflect our unique community.? Thanks, Katie All Oregon public, volunteer, and tribal libraries are members of the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP), and receive a free summer reading manual. To get the most out of your membership, create an account on the CSLP website (http://www.cslpreads.org/) and you will be able to access additional summer reading resources. CSLP membership dues and manual fees are paid for by the State Library with Library Services and Technology Act funds.

Running a digital signage program has many moving parts; the hardware seems to be only part of the equation that will work for one?s library. In 2013, I wrote a draft proposal for our library. We have not implemented digital signage yet, but my research included this 2010 article: CRL News: http://crln.acrl.org/content/71/6/299.full?sid=52f01c90-8f5b-4579-8084-944d06fb0062 Features - ACRL TECHCONNECT: Donald A. Barclay, Thomas Bustos, and Teal Smith Signs of success: Digital signage in the library Coll. res. libr. news June 2010 71:299-333 More notes from 2013: UCMerced, an academic library in California, set up a default PowerPoint template with slides sized for the display (1280 x 768) for submission by anyone on campus. (Bold effort, and a great use of digital displays in a student-centric space.) Read their submission guidelines here: http://studentsfirst.ucmerced.edu/resources/digitalsignage More locally, I checked with WCCLS libraries where installed digital signage in 2013. At the time, one city library had this to say about the configuration: ?They display a PowerPoint presentation in a loop on a NEC MultiSynch 46? display with a build in NEC Atom 1.6 GHz PC. The computer is running in a workgroup mode and the staff connects to it?, they copy the presentation, and then reboot the computer. PC is set up to auto logon and to run the presentation. Initially, the staff was using Bluetooth keyboard with touchpad but they frequently had connectivity issues. The advantage of NEC solution is that the computer installs in the slot on the display and all you need is CAT5 and power connection.? Another library was using a hosted service (http://potomac.nu/?Gallery:Kiosk&print) but was contemplating moving to a different service (http://www.sitekiosk.com), both of which require internet and network access for the display, as well as monthly fees. Newer televisions frequently allow plugging in of USB to run photo slideshows using the remote. In that kind of scenario, you?d need: 1) access to the USB for staff only (monitor can?t be near the ceiling, nor easily accessible by patrons), 2) have the TV remote available, and 3) manage the slides (images) in a consistent format to view correctly on the screen. Slide show software varies from TV brand to brand (or the software they are running) so it depends a lot on whether the slide show implementation fits the library?s needs. When my library gets back to working on digital signage, I?ll be asking the same questions as everyone else. I hope my notes from a couple years back are helpful in moving the question at your library.

We've been looking for a flexible electronic display format to make announc= ements in our foyer. We wanted great graphic capability to capture patrons'= eyes with lots of photographs as well as the flexibility to change it at l= east daily. I sent out a call to publib and we investigated several vendors= . A couple of the vendors offered lovely displays- 37" monitors mounted on = sturdy stands that could be programmed with content from a flash drive. Th= e price? Almost $5,000 and way beyond our budget. So, we got inventive. New flat screen TVs have come way down in price. We f= ound a sleek 32" model for $600 and mounted it on the inside foyer wall. I= t took special heavy brackets- you can usually pay to have the store you bo= ught it from install it or you can get brackets from most any hardware stor= e- and we mounted it high enough to be out of reach of little fingers. We p= ulled the cord through the wall, conveniently next to a desk, and hooked it= up to both a plug and an old computer of ours. The computer does not have = to be new or particularly powerful, it will only run one thing, the TV disp= lay. What about the display? We composed a simple Powerpoint to show upcoming pr= ograms, news, and items of interest. We played with the timing, (for us 3 s= econds a slide is just about right), the color and background (we loaded th= e Master with a soft blue and our logo), and the graphics (photos are great= , a 300 dpi resolution seems to work fine). Every now and then we insert so= mething to jazz the eye further. Maybe a subliminal word? Read? We just lea= ve it up, looping continually, all day long. How to change it? With a real computer on the other end of the TV, we loade= d VNC (Virtual Network Computing- open source under the GNU general public = license) to connect that computer to our library's shared internal drive. W= ith VNC and a password, we can control the display computer from any other = connected computer, even from main to branch and back, and we can change th= e display from minute to minute if we like. Our display has been up and running for two weeks now and all is well. Mayb= e we can cut down on some of the paper brochures. Maybe we should load the = occasional You Tube video (though maybe the repetitive sound would drive th= e Circulation folks crazy). Maybe we could have contests. Lots of fun thoug= hts! Best, Lisa We use an old PC with a looping Powerpoint presentation. It displays on a 24" widescreen flat panel mounted behind the circ desk. Easy as pie, gives the patrons something to look at while they wait in line (including a lovely screen that asks them to have their card ready). =20 Linda Cannon Collection Development Librarian Joplin Public Library On Tue, Mar 3, 2015 at 11:11 AM, Ted Smith > wrote: I heard there was a thread on the list about digital displays for lobbies.

Public, school, academic, and special libraries have built collections of zines, but they're also a helpful teaching tool. We will share a hands-on Zines 101 workshop, covering the history and culture of zines and tips for making them, as well as giving participants time to contribute a page to a collaborative zine. *Speakers*: Kelly McElroy, Oregon State University; Lillian Karabaic, Independent Publishing Resource Center *Sponsors*: OR-ACRL ------------------------------ *Time*: Session 4, Friday 8:30 - 10:00 a.m. *Title*: *Cybercreeps, Data Miners and Peeping Uncle Sams - Teaching Patrons about Privacy Online* *Description*: How can we help our patrons stay safe and protect their personal information online?

Whiteboards, which fill many learning spaces, furnish evidence via student-generated visualizations. Librarians at Oregon State University undertook an exploratory, term-long, photo-ethnographic study to determine the types of visualization activities in which students engage to help them learn. Results show differences in visualization activities across discipline groups and suggest the need to design study spaces to accommodate those needs. This study serves as a model for those seeking to identify and convey ways in which learning spaces support and contribute to student learning. *Speakers*: Uta Hussong-Christian, Oregon State University; Rick Stoddart, University of Idaho *Sponsors*: OR-ACRL ------------------------------ *Time*: Session 5, Friday 11:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. *Title*: *Privacy Technology -- Tools for Protecting Your Patrons and Yourself on Public and Personal Computers* *Description*: Data miners, cybercriminals and government spies are helping themselves to private information, so tech-savvy library staff need tools to fight back!

Given this, readers? advisory activities, while not generally within the purview of academic libraries, are a novel (no pun intended!) and creative way to contribute to student success. This session will examine the place of recreational reading and readers? advisory in academic libraries. It will also discuss real-life experiences conducting readers? advisory with college students, and tips for creatively and effectively promoting recreation collections and encouraging a culture of reading in your campus community. *Speakers*: Elizabeth Brookbank, Western Oregon University *Sponsors*: OR-ACRL ------------------------------ *Time*: Session 6, Friday 2:00 - 3:30 p.m. *Title*: *Think Like a Scholar: Using the ACRL Framework to Shape Collaborative, Discipline-based Information Literacy Instruction* *Description*: Collaborating with faculty on teaching information literacy (IL) is arguably one of the most difficult aspects of academic librarian work. In this session, we will present how we have used the concepts in ACRL?s draft Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education to guide conversations with faculty about teaching research competencies at Reed College. The Framework and its presentation of threshold concepts is particularly useful for developing discipline-specific teaching strategies and approaches when working with core and gateway courses. The session will include the content we developed in collaboration with faculty for courses in music, anthropology, history, and psychology. *Speakers*: Annie Downey, Ryan Clement, and Erin Conor, Reed College Library *Sponsors*: OR-ACRL ------------------------------ *Time*: Session 6, Friday 2:00 - 3:30 p.m. *Title*: *Creativity in Technology: Current and Future Trends* *Description*: Presentation on current and future technology trends in Oregon libraries and beyond with a look to future potential practices and current best practices.

In return, the recipient will be expected to attend FTRF and other intellectual freedom meetings and events at the conference, consult with a mentor/board member, and provide a report about their experiences. The recipient also will receive a one-year FTRF membership and will be invited, although not required, to provide daily updates about his or her experience on the Freedom to Read Foundation blog. The deadline for submitting an application for the 2015 Conable Conference Scholarship is Friday, April 3, 2015; the award will be announced by the first week in May. Who is eligible: Students currently enrolled in an ALA-accredited LIS degree program or an AASL-recognized master?s program in school librarianship and new professionals (those who are three or fewer years removed from receiving a library school degree) are eligible to receive the Conable Conference Scholarship. Those interested must submit an application that includes two references and an essay detailing their interest in intellectual freedom issues. Applicants also are required to attach a r?sum?.

It was created by the Oregon University System Library Council to help librarians around Oregon learn how to use early online searching tools, and it has continued to bring library folk together for 32 years. This year, the 2015 conference-planning committee wants to take the library community's temperature. Should we change the conference's location, format, or style? Should we keep things the same? What's working, and what isn't? We'd appreciate hearing whatever you'd like to tell us. The committee will be meeting in late March or early April to review all responses. We'll use your feedback to change course or hold steady, depending on what we learn from you. You can share your thoughts here: http://goo.gl/forms/Sx6439cXZw Please feel free to share this survey with friends and colleagues who are interested in the future of the conference.

Come join us for a full day of exploration into new approaches to expressing genre and form aspects of library resources in your cataloging! Genre/form headings describe what an item is, rather than what it is about. The Library of Congress has been removing genre/form headings from LCSH and incorporating them into LC Genre/Form Terms (LCGFT) for several years, focusing on specific types of material such as moving images or maps. Recently, many "general" genre/form terms were added to LCGFT. Big changes are ahead for music and literature this year, as genre terms are finalized and LC no longer assigns LCSH form headings in these areas. This preconference will explain what these changes will bring to cataloging: new MARC fields for aspects of LCSH headings that are not genre, and new LC vocabularies for medium of performance and demographic terms. We'll also take a look at new developments in the controlled vocabularies maintained by the Rare Books and Manuscripts Section of ACRL. The implications of the changes for discovery systems will also be explored: how might these new MARC fields and vocabularies affect the way we search? Speakers: Adam Schiff, University of Washington; Ann Shaffer, University of Oregon; Ryan Hildebrand, University of Oregon; Lori Robare, University of Oregon. The cost of the full-day preconference is $100 and includes lunch. The session runs from 9:00-4:00 on Wednesday, April 15. Early Bird Registration for OLA ends Friday, March 13! Register now to get the best rate for the conference. Lori Robare University of Oregon Libraries lrobare at uoregon.edu -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Join us to strengthen Oregon libraries! Message-ID: Good news! The OLA Mentoring Program has received approval from the OLA Board to open up the program to all early-career OLA members working in libraries and related organizations. You don?t need to have an MLS or be working in a professional position to benefit from this valuable program. If you are an early career library staff-person with less than five years of professional experience, please consider applying to be paired up with a mentor . As this is a member benefit, membership in OLA is required. We?ve also extended the opportunity to be a mentor to ALL OLA members with five or more years of experience working in libraries or related organizations. We welcome the experience and wisdom of all experienced staff working in libraries. Mentoring is one of the most rewarding activities you can undertake in your professional life. Through mentoring, you capitalize on your hard-earned experience and knowledge to support the development and success of an early-career librarian. If you feel you might have something to give, please consider applying to become a mentor . The OLA Mentoring Program is designed to help early career OLA members working in libraries and related organizations grow professionally by being paired with seasoned library staff willing to share their professional experience and guidance. Mentors and mentees will be partnered based on similar interests, professional experience, and/or goals. The mentoring relationship will develop over the course of a year (or nine months) and contact can take place in-person or over phone, email, or web conferencing. Mentoring does not have to be time-consuming (the OLA program recommends at least five communications over the course of a year) or require travel (you can communicate via phone, email, or web conferencing in addition to in-person), but the small amount of time you give to another librarian can mean the world to his or her success and the success of his or her library.

When first deployed, we used zip ties to secure them but that caused more inconvenience to patron use than it was worth in theft. Theft is now rare; most loss is due to breakage from regular wear on the wiring. We plug the headphones in at the front of the PC towers & often find them unplugged I expect from patrons using their own. We do have jack splitters at our AWE kids stations and have yet to lose one, much to my surprise. ----------------------------------------- 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 Cheryl Spangler Sent: Thursday, March 12, 2015 5:02 PM To: John Goodyear; libs-or at listsmart.osl.state.or.us Subject: Re: [Libs-Or] Securing headphones to adult computers We have had them.

Our history at DPL with fixed headphone installations on public computers was clear; they created more problems than they resolved, regardless of how they were "tethered" to the computers. In the early part of the 2000s, after receiving the Gates Grant, all of our public computers had headphones attached. After about 5 years, our district decided to remove the headphones for the following reasons: * Headphones had an extremely short operational life due to missing ear pieces, shorted wiring and broken jacks. * With broken jacks, the internal components of the computer were compromised at a significantly higher rate than normal, and were not covered under warranty. * Customers voiced hygiene concerns with respect to the "sharing" of personal peripherals such as headphones. * The majority of visitors chose not to use our provided headphones. * Scheduling and follow through of the cleaning procedure for headphones was a challenge for staff. To ensure that a solution was in place for those few patrons who wanted to use headphones, our district provided the following options: * In our largest branch, we installed a vending machine that provides inexpensive headphones for purchase, while still providing "lender" headsets at the front desk. * Each smaller branch had the choice to "check out" or "lend" headphones at their front counters. At present, the only "fixed installation" of headphones at DPL are on our children's computers. Even with this small installation of fixed headsets (< 30), our IT department has had to address 5 computer problems just this year resulting from broken jacks and shorted wiring. That is a non-warranty event; meaning that a $20 peripheral caused a $800 replacement...not very fiscally responsible. With the prevalence of inexpensive earbuds and headphones in today's world, the need to affix and maintain a set of headphones on every public Internet computer no longer exists.

The Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee , which has been charged with overhauling ESEA, has been gearing up for a committee vote on the version of the bill as early as the week of April 13, when the Senate reconvenes, according to Emily Sheketoff, executive director of the American Library Association?s (ALA) Washington Office . It?s been more than ten years since the last reauthorization of ESEA when Congress passed the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act in 2001. Congress attempted?and failed?to update the bill in 2007 . While political parties and interest groups have varying agendas for the reauthorization, it?s widely agreed that ESEA is in need of reauthorization?and legislation cannot proceed until the Senate HELP Committee comes up with a bipartisan bill that can pass both houses of Congress. [image: ESEA-Lineup3] Although efforts to include dedicated funding for school libraries in ESEA have been made in the past, this year ALA has been definitive in leading the campaign for school library funding and programs in ESEA?s reauthorization. Sheketoff tells *SLJ* she has been working closely with the HELP Committee to garner a commitment from HELP chairman Senator Lamar Alexander (R.-TN) and ranking member Patty Murray (D.-WA) to include dedicated funding for school libraries in the bill; however, as of March 18, Sheketoff says she cannot confirm whether school library funding has made it into the base bill. If not, she says that there will be other opportunities for its inclusion. However, she stresses, this is a critical time for advocates to show senators that there is widespread voter support for federally-mandated school library programs. *THE ROAD TO REAUTHORIZATION* ALA is taking its cue for reform and reauthorization from Washington. On January 12, 2015, U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan called on Congress to replace ?NCLB with a new ESEA that takes advantage of the lessons of the last several years and builds on the progress that America?s students and educators have worked hard to achieve.? Around the same time, President Obama requested an additional $2.7 billion in ESEA funding for Fiscal Year 2016, reports ?Homeroom: The Official Blog of the U.S. Department of Education .? ?There?s more of a feeling that something might happen [this time],? says American Association of School Librarians (AASL) president Terri Grief, a high school librarian in Paducah, KY. Amendments to include dedicated school library funding in ESEA have been attempted in 2007, 2011, and 2014, according to Sheketoff. With ALA?s involvement and guidance, Grief (along with other advocates) has actively reached out to AASL?s network to urge members to contact their senators to include dedicated school library funding in ESEA?s reauthorization. While both houses must come up with their versions of the bill, most of ALA?s advocacy efforts have been focused on the Democrat-held Senate. This year in late January, Senator Alexander presented a discussion draft of ESEA to HELP committee members, and ALA responded with its comments soon after . ?There were a few mentions of school libraries [in the draft],? says Sheketoff, whose response letter urged the inclusion of the SKILLS (Strengthening Kids? Interest in Learning and Libraries) Act (S. 312), a specific amendment about dedicated funding to ?support effective school library programs? in ESEA. On February 19, ALA launched an email campaign ?Take Action for Libraries? informing members and stakeholders about the SKILLS Act, asking them to contact their state senators about co-sponsoring the SKILLS Act to show support for school library programs. ?I sent [this] email notice to the Kentucky Library Association and the Kentucky Public Library Association ?who then sent it to the Trustees of the Kentucky Public Library Association ,? Grief tells *SLJ*. Thirty-year school library advocate Deb Kachel, co-chair of the Pennsylvania School Librarians Association (PSLA), says that she shared ALA Washington?s campaign with the PSLA and her personal listserv. Using information from ALA?s ?District Dispatch? February 27 blog post titled ?School Libraries Can?t Afford to Wait ,? Kachel tailored her listserv email to include: 1) what to do?contact your state?s senators? Washington office(s) if he and/or she is on the HELP Committee; and 2) what to say: *State that you would like him/her to support a version of the reauthorization of ESEA that:* 1. [Mandates] that all public schools have a school library staffed by at least one state-licensed school librarian. 2. Provides dedicated funding for effective school library programs, and; 3. Allows state and local professional development funds to be used for recruiting and training school librarians. (Make sure you provide your name, address, and zip code.) Sheketoff adds that even if your state?s senators aren?t on the HELP Committee, contact them anyhow, and tell them that you support funding for school library programs in the reauthorization of ESEA and wish for them to co-sponsor the SKILLS Act (S. 312) . (Include your name, address, and zip code.) At present, there is a lack of critical mass in support. ?I?ve had many meetings in the Senate recently,? writes Sheketoff in ?District Dispatch ? dated February 27, ? and none of the congressional staff members I?ve met with have heard from any library supporters.? Kachel worries about school librarians on her listserv getting ?advocacy fatigue.? ?I don?t know how many emails I can send out before they think?her again?? Regardless, advocacy works, she says. *ADVOCATE?THEN DO IT SOME MORE* Senator Robert Casey (D.-PA), a member of the HELP Committee, recently met with a group of Pennsylvania Parent Teacher Association (PTA) members in Washington, DC, Kachel shares over email. During the visit, the subject of school libraries came up, and Senator Casey informed the group that his office was inundated with over 85 emails from Pennsylvania school librarians regarding ESEA and the inclusion of dedicated school library funding. While the emails may be a drop in the bucket for what is needed to sway the HELP Committee, they got Senator Casey?s attention, who said he was ?very impressed.? ESEA?s reauthorization could take months?or longer, forewarns Sheketoff. After the HELP Committee meets the week of April 13, the bill has to be marked up with amendments, then voted on. If it passes committee vote, then it must be scheduled for debate on the Senate floor, which could take months. Should both versions of the bill pass in each house of Congress, then each side will appoint a representative to conference on the two bills and come up with a single version. (And still, it must be voted on through each house after that.) The pace could be a silver lining?there is time for advocacy. Encouraged by the feedback about PSLA librarians emailing Senator Casey, Kachel continue to rally PSLA members?and all Pennsylvanians?to continue filling Casey?s inbox and voicemail. ?We have never been closer in getting school library language in a reauthorization of ESEA,? she writes in an email. Sheketoff says this call-to-action goes for everyone, not just school librarians, but academic librarians, educators, administrators, parents, and public librarians: Contact your state?s senators. Check to see if your state?s senators serve on the HELP Committee and contact him/her. *SENATE HELP COMMITTEE MEMBERS* *Republicans:* Lamar Alexander (TN) ? http://www.alexander.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/email Richard Burr (NC) ? http://www.burr.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=Contact.ContactForm Bill Cassidy, M.D. (LA) ? http://www.cassidy.senate.gov/content/contact-bill Susan Collins (ME) ? http://www.collins.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/email Michael B.

Our building was built in 1985 and perhaps that was normal then. I'm just curious for those public libraries with two or more floors; do you have public restrooms on each floor?

We previously had 2 public restrooms on the library main floor - a women's room with 2 stalls and a men's room with 1 stall and an open urinal. We have no staff restrooms. The restrooms are near the circ desk, so I see the related activity all day long. In September, both our restrooms were designated unisex and bolts were put on the entry doors (not the stalls, the doors) to lock from the inside. This effectively cut our restroom capacity in half. We now have people regularly waiting for the restrooms, which almost never happened before. In addition, the pipes are old and the toilets occasionally get stopped up and we have to wait for facilities to come clear the blockage. It has happened numerous times that a man will use the urinal without locking the door, and a woman will walk in on him. For most of us it's not really a big deal, but it does create a very awkward situation for some people. We're very happy that the campus is taking steps to accommodate our diverse student and patron population, but we're not entirely happy that it's our restrooms that were converted, though there wasn't much choice because they are the smallest restrooms on campus. We've complained, but to no avail, as yet. Some of the people who work in our building just go to use the restrooms in a different building. I'm not sure this even meets code, we'll have to look into the occupancy limit, etc. for our building. In the meantime, we laugh... what else can you do? Cheers!

At Medford (Oregon) we have a 2 story library with restrooms on both floors. Last year I worked in the largest library in California's Alameda County. It is 2 stories and has restrooms on the first floor only. The latter case is not unusual in my experience, both as a patron and as a library staff member.

Thanks to everyone who responded! (And particularly to Cheryl Hill and Jennifer Maurer for the extra tips). To the best of my knowledge, there are 29 geocaches hidden inside Oregon libraries. Twenty seven of those are freely available and two are only available to "premium" members of geocaching.com. There is also one Library Challenge in Oregon, which requires finding geocaches inside five different libraries (but this is also only available to premium members). There are could easily be some more library caches and if you know of any, please drop me a line with the link to the cache on geocaching.com. For those of you who are registered with geocaching.com, I made a public list of them all here.

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. The next application deadline is May 1st. Grants will be awarded May 15th. 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.

They are collecting feedback directly from library staff on the 2015 CSLP summer reading materials available from Upstart. Please take a moment to go online and fill out the survey at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/CSLP_2015_Products. Your input in this survey will help Upstart provide CSLP with the best possible product mix at the most affordable prices. CSLP and Upstart are already almost done with 2016 materials so your feedback will likely impact the 2017 summer reading program. The survey will only be open until March 27, so enough time is left to collect the information for Upstart to present the results at the annual meeting in April. A few things to remember that may help you provide really useful feedback: ? Provide concrete suggestions so they really understand what you?d like to see. o For example, ?More teen incentives? is too vague. List a couple of ideas too like ?More useful teen incentives like ear buds, socks, school supplies, etc.? o For example, ?More in Spanish? is too vague. List exactly which items you think should be available in Spanish. ? The relationship between cost and quality. o For example, if you know of a similar product from a different company that costs less and is higher quality, let them know specifically what that items is and who sells it. This may help Upstart identify potential new manufacturers to work with. o If there is a particular product your community loves and you?d be willing to pay a few more cents per item for better quality, let them know. ? Don?t complain, make a suggestion instead. o For example, instead of ?My library didn?t like the art this year so used our own art.? you might suggest ?My library would like to see more variety in the art such as different types of heroes/athletes/etc, gender represented equally, different animals (i.e. races/ethnicities) so we have art to pick and choose from to better reflect our unique community.?

We appreciate your feedback." If people are having to wait in line or women are walking in on men who didn't lock the door, they would probably offer some clear feedback then and there. Sometimes, administrators don't listen to employees but do listen to their customers (students, library patrons), especially if enough of them squawk. If people are leaving the building to use restrooms elsewhere, that suggests a real problem for people with mobility issues and an inconvenience for everyone else.

I was a member of ALA Council when the change was made to using Sturgis instead of Roberts. The change really helped ALA Council get through its business instead of getting tied up with some esoteric procedure in Roberts that someone had dug out. I really don't understand wanting to move back to those difficult meetings. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Kagan, Al" Date: Mar 25, 2015 9:27 AM Subject: [alacoun] Ballot question To: "SRRTAC-L" , "ALA Council" < alacoun at lists.ala.org> Cc: Dear Councilors, I assume we all got our election ballots at the same time. I want to follow-up on the discussion we had about changing from Sturgis to *Roberts Rules of Order*. For those who have not yet seen the pro and co, I have included it here. In my estimation, the pro argument below amounts to: lots of organizations are doing this so we should do it too. Further many of our members may be members of those organizations and therefore possibly familiar with Roberts. I think this is an incredibly weak argument. On the other hand, Larry Romans? con statement is substantive, and it reiterates our original reason for switching to Sturgis. I won?t paraphrase Larry, but when you consider 816 vs. 286 pages, the degree of complexity vs. simplicity can only be obvious. In considering this question, we need to think about who would gain and who would suffer the consequences. New councilors often find themselves in a new situation where there is a learning curve to becoming effective. They may not have participated in a large legislative body before. Part of the learning curve is gaining an understanding of the rules. With this change, even experienced councilors will be at a disadvantage vis a vis parliamentary experts. As we know, rules can be used to facilitate discussion and participation or the opposite. The more complex the rules, the more danger of insiders controlling the outcomes. I urge you to defeat this initiative and to lobby your various constituencies in the interests of ALA participatory democracy. Al Kagan SRRT Councilor African Studies Bibliographer and Professor of Library Administration Emeritus University of Illinois Urbana/Champaign ITEM #1 ? BYLAW AMENDMENT TO ESTABLISH ROBERT?S RULES OF ORDER AS ALA?S PARLIAMENTARY AUTHORITY. ACTION: To Amend Article XII of the ALA Bylaws to state: Robert's Rules of Order, in the latest edition, shall govern the Association in all cases to which it can be applied and in which it is not inconsistent with the Constitution, the Bylaws, or special rules of order of the Association. CURRENT LANGUAGE: Article XII. Parliamentary Authority Section 1. Sturgis Standard Code of Parliamentary Procedure, in the latest edition, shall govern the Association in all cases to which it can be applied and in which it is not inconsistent with the Constitution, the Bylaws, or special rules of order of the Association. PROPOSED LANGUAGE: Article XII. Parliamentary Authority Section 1. [Sturgis Standard Code of Parliamentary Procedure] Robert?s Rules of Order, in the latest edition, shall govern the Association in all cases to which it can be applied and in which it is not inconsistent with the Constitution, the Bylaws, or special rules of order of the Association. PRO: Although Sturgis? Standard Code of Parliamentary Procedure has served the American Library Association well over the last decade, the current version of this work is out of print, and has been superseded by the American Institute of Parliamentarians Standard Code of Parliamentary Procedure (AIPSC). While the ALA Constitution and Bylaws Committee was reviewing the bylaws in order to make recommendations related to this change, it also weighed the advantages and disadvantages in changing the Association?s standard for parliamentary authority back to Robert?s Rules of Order in its latest edition. While the change in in the day-to-day running of Association business would be minimal, the Committee felt thatRobert?s offers several advantages over AIPSC, including: the widespread use of Robert?s by library boards, faculty organizations, and the like and the subsequent familiarity with Robert?sthat members bring to the Association, a greater number of experts on Robert?s than other systems of parliamentary procedure when the Association may need to call upon a new parliamentarian, and a greater number of learning tools and explanatory aids available for Robert?s over AIPSC. Therefore, the Committee unanimously resolved that the Association change the bylaws to reflect the change to Robert?s Rules of Order as the parliamentary authority for the American Library Association, and this was approved by the ALA Council at the Midwinter Meeting in 2015. Matthew P. Ciszek, ALA Councilor-at-Large CON: Almost twenty years ago the ALA Parliamentarian and the ALA Orientation Committee urged ALA to adopt The Standard Code of Parliamentary Procedure, compiled by the American Institute of Parliamentarians. AIPSC uses ordinary language whereas Robert?s uses esoteric language. Although both Robert?s and AIPSC are the same about making motions and the rules of debate, the important thing is what AIPSC doesn?t include: troublesome procedures that few people know that can be used to tie up proceedings. For example, in AIPSC if you want to reconsider an action, you just vote to reconsider. Robert?s has 25 kinds of motions that can be reconsidered, 25 that can?t, 20 only if the vote was negative, and one only if positive. Robert?s requires 20 pages to discuss how to reconsider a motion. Robert?s is 816 pages long; AIPSC 286 pages. The arguments used 20 years ago are the same reasons that we should not change back to Robert?s. Through AIPSC hundreds, perhaps thousands, of ALA members have learned parliamentary procedure. AIPSC has been adopted by state library associations. The proposed change to Robert?s is almost as complicated as Robert?s itself. Although the new authority officially would be Robert?s, even the proposers realize that Robert?s is too complicated. What we would actually use is Robert?s Rules of Order in Brief. Only a few would learn the full Robert?s to gain the esoteric knowledge to use Robert?s to full advantage. The move to AIPSC was a good decision; the current proposal is a bad idea. Larry Romans, ALA Councilor-at-Large -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

One thing to keep in mind is that unisex bathrooms allow for transgender people to use the restrooms comfortably. Trans people are a minority in our society. If the majority gets to decide, say through number of negative comments about unisex bathrooms tallied, then I fear that the needs of trans people may not be honored. That said, older library buildings were not built to accommodate unisex bathrooms or bathrooms for people with disabilities, for that matter. Remodels take time and are expensive. It's a complicated issue. It's important to be sensitive to everyone in the community, even those that don't speak out.

Starting in June, one of the older buildings on our campus will be remodeled over a span of 15 months (our 'Health and Wellness Center') and we've asked that they include a couple of single unisex restrooms. It would make a lot of sense because the building will also house the gymnasium, showers, etc. So far we've been told that it's too expensive, but the discussion continues. Valerie's feedback idea might be just the thing to push it through!

This report presents the average total price of attendance (tuition and living expenses), the average net price after grants (total price of attendance minus all grants), and the average out-of-pocket net price (total price of attendance minus all financial aid) by type of institution in the 2011-12 academic year. Findings include: * Among undergraduates enrolled full-time in 2011?12, students at public 2-year institutions had the lowest average total price of attendance, $15,000. The average total price of attendance was $23,200 at public 4-year institutions and $29,300 at for-profit institutions. Undergraduates at private nonprofit 4-year institutions had the highest average total price of attendance ($43,500). * Most undergraduates enrolled full-time in 2011?12 received grant aid from federal, state, institutional, or private sources. After grants were taken into account, undergraduates' net price averaged $11,700 at public 2-year institutions, $18,000 at public 4-year institutions, $25,200 at for-profit institutions, and $27,900 at private nonprofit 4-year institutions. * Many undergraduates also took out loans, participated in work-study, or received Veterans' benefits or other forms of aid to help pay the immediate expenses of postsecondary education. After accounting for all financial aid, the average out-of-pocket net price for full-time undergraduates was $9,900 at public 2-year institutions, $11,800 at public 4-year institutions, $15,000 at for-profit institutions, and $18,100 at private nonprofit 4-year institutions.

So I?m seeking recommendations for sturdy chairs that aren?t too heavy (a tall order, I know; or at least an expensive one).

During the 2-months exhibit we always invite a quilting instructor to speak about the program (= a free library program). * The rest of the year we are featuring rotating (2 months long) art displays - highlighting local artists.

If your library uses a specific app for smartphone or tablet please let me know which application it is, the cost for the app (if you know) and what type of program or resource you use it for (example: ipad app slide shark used for library presentations - cost: free). If your library has created an app, I would love to hear about it! At OLA this year we (myself and Darci Hanning) will be presenting on 'Creativity in technology: current and future trends'. I believe apps are a resource that more libraries could develop and use in the future, especially apps created and customized for library use.

(I'm not speaking for my system, merely expressing my opinion. We're required to say that.) I think there are more appropriate ways for a librarian and library system to facilitate a book discussions and patrons connecting with each other, than leaving notes in books. People finding each other via a book sounds like a movie moment that would star John Cusack. In real life, it could be extremely problematic. Some things to ask yourself: - Would you let every patrons do this? As a librarians and library systems, we need to apply access equitably. So if it's OK for this patron, is it OK for the patron who is a registered sex offender to leave letters in teen books? - Would you allow this for every book? What about leaving notes in children's books? - While your patron doesn't seem to have no problem leaving her name and number for a virtual stranger, what about the patron on the receiving end? Her lack of boundaries, might creep out other patrons and be considered disruptive. (If I got a book with a note in it, I'd wonder what her racket was and if she wanted to scam me.) - What if either your patron or the person who ends up with the book has less honorable intentions and someone is hurt in some way, emotionally, physically or financially?? - What if a tween or teen checks out the book and calls a complete stranger? What would the library say to that tween's parent? As an alternative, suggest she start a book group that meets at the library or join a book group that meets at the library. If this title is something that everyone is talking about, maybe have a program that revolves around the book in some way and include time for people to mingle. Or maybe it's on a topic that people are talking about. What about hosting a program to introduce bookworms to each other? You could model it on Bainbridge Library's Speed Friending program, see BFF http://www.the-bookaneer.com/programs.html (Not my system, I just love Audrey Barbakoff's fabulous ideas.)

Each message is prepared by a member of OLA?s Intellectual Freedom Committee. Look for our message on a Tuesday each month of the academic year except December. Questions can be directed to the IF Committee member who sent the message or to one of the co-chairs of the IFC . *Protecting Student Privacy: Challenges for Oregon K-12 Libraries* If you work in a school library, you may face situations like these: ? A principal asks for the names of all students who have checked out books or ebooks on graffiti art, or searched the databases for that topic. ? A parent asks to see a list of all the items their child has borrowed this school year, and also their Internet search history. ? A student really needs a book, but it?s checked out. The student asks for the name of the person who has it now. ? A library assistant is frustrated that students rarely return books on time, and posts a list of overdue books -- with a student name next to each title -- on the library door. ? A parent calls and asks which books an 11th grader has lost, so that their family can look around the house before sending in a check. Without clear policies and guidelines, it?s hard to know what to do. The information in this post will hopefully be useful to librarians and library assistants who work in school libraries. *If you work in a public or academic library, you can help K-12 schools become more familiar with privacy issues.* When you visit a school library or collaborate on a program, you can share your own privacy policies and ask how the school handles similar situations. What can you do now? Become familiar with the American Library Association?s Library Bill of Right s as described in An Interpretation of the American Library Association?s Library Bill of Rights - Privacy . The ?right to privacy is the right to open inquiry without having the subject of one?s interest examined or scrutinized by others?. Libraries should keep ?personally identifiable? information about patrons private. If students are to have ?freedom of inquiry?, their circulation records, databases searches, and reference questions should be protected. *What can school library staff do before the next question arises?* 1. Read more about the issues involved, including ?The Privacy Problem? , an article from School Library Journal that raises many interesting questions. 2. Research the relevant laws related to student privacy and school libraries, including Oregon Revised Statutes 192.410 to 192.505 and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). The American Library Association has additional information on FERPA as it relates to school libraries . 3. Write up a privacy policy for your school library. You may want to refer to the "Position Statement on the Confidentiality of Library Records " from the American Association of School Librarians and the American Library Association?s information on developing privacy policies . The Oregon Library Association also has an Intellectual Freedom Toolkit . 4. Make sure that everyone who works in the library and has access to patron records is aware of policies and procedures related to privacy. 5. Look carefully at what types of records your school library keeps, and how long you keep them -- including electronic circulation records. Also, check your agreements with third-party ebook and database vendors to make sure that they are safeguarding personally identifiable patron data. 6. Encourage parents to talk with their children about their reading habits, books checked out, and library use. Many library circulation systems allow patrons to log in to their library accounts to view overdue items, books on hold, etc., and parents can ask their children to do this if they have questions about library fines or lost books. 7. Know where school library staff can get help when questions arise.

Interested in hearing more about ACRL-Oregon events and news, but don't have time to keep checking in on the blog? Here are *three easy ways* you can sign up for automated updates from the ACRL-Oregon blog: 1. RSS: Direct your browser to http://acrloregon.org/feed/ for an RSS feed of blog posts. If you already use an RSS reader, you know what to do! If you aren't familiar with RSS, check out this simple explanation at whatisrss.com for details and how to use it. (This page at http://alternativeto.net/software/google-reader/ also includes info about and links to RSS alternatives to Google Reader.) 2. Smart Bookmarks: Like the idea of RSS, but don't want to deal with another program to install and use? If you're a Firefox user, you'll see a prompt to add the feed as a smart bookmark ? which updates automatically with each new post ? as soon as you click the link to our feed. Chrome doesn't support this natively, but you can add the excellent raindrop.io extension to do exactly the same thing. 3.

In addition to being the largest and most visited independent online driver education provider in the U.S., we currently work with over 650 U.S. libraries (including 4 in OR) in a partnership where we provide them free access to our state-specific practice tests (free for the library and the patrons). *We would be happy to extend the same free driver's ed program to all OR libraries. * *SIGN UP HERE: http://driving-tests.org/library/ * What's included? Your Driver Education program will contain the following state-specific information: - 10 car practice tests - 6 motorcycle practice tests - 3 CDL (Commercial Driver?s License) practice tests - 3 online driver?s manuals (car, motorcycle, CDL) - An FAQ section with detailed answers to 100+ DMV-related questions Best regards, Andrei Zakhareuski, Driving-Tests.org, Founder & CEO info at driving-tests.org PS: In Jan/Feb we presented our service at ALA Midwinter, and will be at ALA San Francisco in June again (Booth 441) in case you would like to meet in person! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The patron's intentions might be good, but this could open a can of worms. By agreeing to leave the note in the book, you are, in fact, endorsing the patron and you don't want to go down that road. If the next patron to read the book and see her letter turned out to be a creep, the library would bear some responsibility. Encourage her to find other ways to discuss books.
