Here's advance notice that Gale will release a new product for middle school grade levels (6-8) in late spring, and Oregon will switch over to the new offering in the summer. This yet-to-be-named database will bring together content from and replace the following databases: Discovering Collection, Junior Reference Collection, Student Resource Center Junior (different from Student Resources In Context, which is not changing), and InfoTrac Junior. The new middle school database will feature a modern interface and tool set consistent with Gale?s In Context products. Content will be cross-disciplinary, focusing on core curriculum areas of literature, science, and U.S. and world history. Features will also include alignment to curriculum standards and a mobile responsive design. Please give appropriate staff a heads up about this major Gale update. Questions? Please ask.

We'll have large sheets of paper for people to put down their ideas throughout the morning. During lunch, attendees will vote on their favorite topics and the top 3-4 will become our work groups.

This report presents findings from the Parent and Family Involvement in Education Survey of the National Household Education Surveys Program of 2012 (NHES:2012) from the National Center for Education Statistics within the Institute of Education Sciences. The Parent and Family Involvement in Education Survey of the NHES:2012 collected data on children enrolled in public or private school for kindergarten through twelfth grade or homeschooled for these grades. The survey collected information about various aspects of parent involvement in education, such as help with homework, family activities, and parent involvement at school. Findings include: * The most common school-related activity that parents reported participating in during the 2011-2012 school year was attending a general school or a parent-teacher organization or association (PTO/PTA) meeting (87 percent). * One percent of students in grades 6 through 12 had parents who said that they did not expect their child to complete high school; 9 percent were not expected to pursue education after high school completion; 8 percent were expected to attend vocational or technical school after high school; 17 percent were expected to attend 2 or more years of college; 28 percent were expected to finish a 4- or 5-year college degree; and 36 percent were expected to earn a graduate or professional degree. * According to parents, a higher percentage of students attended a community, religious, or ethnic event (54 percent) in the past month than visited a library (39 percent); visited a bookstore (38 percent); went to a play, concert, or other live show (31 percent); visited an art gallery, a museum, or a historical site (21 percent); or visited a zoo or an aquarium (19 percent); or attended an athletic or sporting event (42 percent). The report has been revised for re-release because of a correction in survey weights that led to small changes in the estimates presented, typically of one to two percentage points. Also, estimates describing the homeschooling population of the United States have been removed from this revised version of the report so that more detail about how NCES estimated homeschooling in 2012 could be provided in a separate report.

This report presents findings from the Early Childhood Program Participation Survey of the National Household Education Surveys Program of 2012 (NHES:2012) from the National Center for Education Statistics within the Institute of Education Sciences. The Early Childhood Program Participation Survey of the NHES:2012 collected data on children's participation in relative care, nonrelative care, and center-based care arrangements. It also collected information from parents about the main reason for choosing care, what factors were important to parents when choosing a care arrangement, and parents' participation in various learning activities with their children. Findings include: * Among children in a weekly nonparental care arrangement, 56 percent were attending a day care center, preschool, or prekindergarten (center-based care); 42 percent were cared for by a relative (relative care); and 24 percent were cared for in a private home by someone not related to them (nonrelative care). * Among children with relative care, the primary caregiver for 78 percent of children was grandparents in the primary relative care arrangement, compared to 11 percent who were cared for by aunts and uncles and 10 percent whose care was provided by other relatives. * The most common location for children's primary center-based care arrangement, as reported in the survey, was a building of its own (46 percent). Other reported locations were a church, synagogue, or other place of worship (20 percent); a public school (20 percent); and various other types of locations (14 percent).

SDLAC Recommends LearningExpress Library for SDLP [LearningExpressLogo]At its meeting on April 9th, the Statewide Database Licensing Advisory Committee (SDLAC) reviewed the results of the recent RFP and recommended that the State Library continue its contract with LearningExpress Library. This resource provides testing and skills-building resources to all Oregon libraries through the Statewide Database Licensing Program (SDLP). The committee also recommended adding new products Job & Career Accelerator and Computer and Internet Basics to the contract, which would significantly enhance the library community's ability to support job seekers in their local communities. The LSTA Advisory Council will consider this recommendation at their meeting on May 12th. In April, it was also announced that EBSCO Information Services has purchased LearningExpress Library. This development will have no immediate impact on Oregon libraries' access to LearningExpress Library resources. For more information about the purchase, see the press release from LearningExpress Library. Oregon's Letters About Literature Honorees Announced [LALlogo]On May 7th, starting at 4 pm, the State Library will host an awards celebration to honor Oregon's Letters About Literature contest winners. Local distinguished writer Pamela Smith Hill will kick off the event with a keynote address. Then, after receiving certificates and prizes, students will read their letters to the audience of family members and special guests. The contest objective was for students to write to an author of their choice, conveying how the book they read changed them or the way they view the world. Congratulations to our state's honorees: Level I (4th - 6th Grades) 40 of 384 Oregon entries made it through the national screening. First Place: Vicky Siah, Beaverton Runner-Up: Sophie Ong, Beaverton Honorable Mentions: Aletha Lengkong, Eugene; Mia Cremona, Lake Oswego; Cameron Iizuka, Lake Oswego; Phoebe Garrett, Lake Oswego; Amala Rajagopal, Beaverton Level II (7th & 8th Grades) 71 of 630 Oregon entries made it through the national screening.

This annual reading and writing program is sponsored by the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress. Thanks to the Oregon Reading Association and three divisions of the Oregon Library Association - Children's Services Division, Oregon Young Adult Network, and Oregon Association of School Libraries; all were local cosponsors and helped fund the prizes. Also, thanks to the nine Oregon judges - a school librarian, public librarian, and author for each of the three levels - who devoted their time to reading the entries. Honorees' transcribed letters will be posted on the Letters About Literature web page by the end of May. National winners are expected to be announced in early May. If you have questions about the contest, please contact Jennifer Maurer, School Library Consultant at the Oregon State Library. State Library Will No Longer Coordinate Letters About Literature Because of internal changes, this is the last year that State Library staff will coordinate the Letters About Literature program in Oregon. We have reached out to a few organizations about adopting the program, but so far, there have been no takers. However, depending on annual funding, the Library of Congress may be able to receive letters from Oregon students and coordinate judging. By early fall, I will post about next year's options for Oregon students on the State Library's Letters About Literature website. Entries are usually due in December or January. Thank you to everyone who works to make the program a success, especially to the students and to their teachers or librarians who encourage participation. Return to top of page Other Library News Oregon School Library Staffing Levels Decline Slightly The State Librarian has tracked the number of full-time equivalent (FTE) licensed school librarians employed in Oregon public schools since the 1980-81 school year. As of a few years ago, staff also track the number of FTE school library support staff. Some of the figures are pulled from the Oregon Statewide Annual Report Card, and others are supplied by staff at the Oregon Department of Education (ODE). Here is a brief snapshot comparing the situation in 1980 to the last three school years: School Year FTE Library Support Staff FTE Licensed Librarians Percent Change in FTE Licensed Librarians from 1980 to Year Listed No. of Students Per Licensed Librarian Percent Change from 1980 to Year Listed 1980-81 n/a 818 n/a 547 n/a 2011-12 697 203 -75.18% 2,763 +405.12 2012-13 681 144 -82.40% 3,915 +615.72 2013-14 688 129 -84.23% 4,396 +703.66 The slight decline in school library staffing was noted on page 8 of the 2013-14 Oregon report card. "Library and Media staff FTE fell by only 1.02%, potentially signaling an end to its precipitous decline-Librarian FTE has decreased by 20% since 2009-10." The majority of the sharp decrease in the last few school years is a result of Salem-Keizer and Beaverton school districts drastically cutting their school library programs. The Oregon library community is working to draw attention to the issue and to emphasize the value of strong school library programs. Based on budget proposals for next school year, Beaverton School District and Portland Public Schools plan to each add about 10 FTE of licensed librarians, and some smaller districts are hiring in smaller numbers.

If that's sounds like you and you are an OLA Member with at least five years of experience in libraries or related orgs, please consider filling out the application to become a mentor . Past mentors in the program have found the experience very rewarding. Thanks for considering and please let me know if you have any questions.

Too Small to Fail is focusing its work on closing the "word gap." Studies have found that by age four, children in middle and upper income families hear 30 million more words than their lower-income peers. This disparity in hearing words from parents and caregivers translates directly into a disparity in learning words. And that puts our children born with the fewest advantages even further behind. Too Small to Fail has released a new "Talking is Teaching Community Campaign Guide," a how-to roadmap for local leaders (including libraries) across the country to initiate and enhance on-the-ground efforts to help close the word gap and boost young children's early brain development. The guide and corresponding free downloadable brand assets and other resource materials can now be found on www.toosmall.org/community. The Community Campaign Guide builds off the success and lessons learned from Too Small to Fail's local campaign efforts in Tulsa, Oklahoma and Oakland, California. The local campaign, titled "Talking is Teaching: Talk, Read, Sing," launched in these communities in 2014. Since then, Too Small to Fail has worked within these communities to engage trusted messengers - such as pediatricians, faith-based leaders, child care providers and librarians - to educate parents and deliver high-quality tools that can help them engage in meaningful interactions with their young children starting at birth. The guide offers adaptive "Talking is Teaching" creative content and resources that: 1) encourage parents to talk, read, and sing with their children during every-day routines - from waiting for the bus, to making dinner to giving a bath; 2) offer ideas for engaging the business community and other allies to raise awareness; and 3) provide suggestions about elevating community messages through local media. The free multimedia assets can be easily tailored to respond to the individual needs of a community or library. Since libraries are already actively engaged in delivering high-quality services to their youngest users, their families and caregivers, the State Library hopes this collaborative partnership with Too Small to Fail and their additional resources will only help enhance the great work libraries are doing every day!

Nationally, students were asked to read a book, poem or speech and write to the author, still living or not, detailing how the text affected them personally or changed their world view. The following Oregon children and teens are being recognized at the state level for their letters: Level I (4th-6th Grades) Winner: Vicky Siah, Beaverton Runner-Up: Sophie Ong, Beaverton Honorable Mentions: Aletha Lengkong, Eugene; Mia Cremona, Lake Oswego; Cameron Iizuka, Lake Oswego; Phoebe Garrett, Lake Oswego; Amala Rajagopal, Beaverton Level II (7th-8th Grades) Winner: Sophie Ciurlik Rittenbaum, Medford Runner-Up: Madeleine Adriance, Portland Honorable Mentions: Chloe Scribner, Corvallis; Ashleen Smith, Madras; Soumik Chakraborty, Portland; Noah Kurzenhauser, Milwaukie; Zora Kurenhauser, Milwaukie Level III (9th-12th Grades) Winner: Hannah DesChamp, Eugene Runner-Up: Khiarica Rasheed, Portland Honorable Mentions: Sam Arnot, Portland; Mariah Jacobs, Sherwood; Autumn Grube, Keizer The 105 semi-finalists from around the state will be honored separately. Letters About Literature is a national reading and writing promotion program of the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress. Local cosponsors are the Oregon Center for the Book at the State Library, the Oregon Reading Association, and three divisions of the Oregon Library Association: Children's Services Division, Oregon Young Adult Network, and Oregon Association of School Libraries. All but the Oregon Center for the Book contribute money to provide prizes. Out of about 50,000 entries nationally, 1,069 came from Oregon children and teenagers. Level I of the contest is open to students in grades 4 through 6, Level II to students in grades 7 and 8, and Level III to students in grades 9 through 12. All entries are sent to the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress to be screened, and letters that make it through that round are sent to Letters About Literature program coordinators in participating states. This year, 124 letters made it through the national screening to be judged in Oregon. Locally, judges are selected by the program coordinator at the State Library, and those judges select a winner, runner-up, and potential honorable mentions for each contest level. In Oregon, anyone whose letter makes it through the national screening but does not place in the state is considered a semi-finalist. As a final step, the winning letter from each of the three levels for all participating states advances to be judged at the national level. The Library of Congress will announce national winners next week. All Oregon honorees receive a certificate from the Oregon Center for the Book. Additionally, first place winners each receive $100, runners-up $50, honorable mentions a $25 bookstore gift card, and semi-finalists a $10 bookstore gift card. These were the Oregon judges: Level I: author Dawn Prochovnic, children's librarian Kathy Viemeister, and school librarian Erin Fitzpatrick-Bjorn; Level II: author Pamela Smith Hill, youth librarian Ann SeCoy, and school librarian Shelby Linn; Level III: author Nancy Osa, youth librarian Violeta Garza, and retired school librarian Marlene Lee. Winning letters will be posted soon on the State Library website, http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/youthsvcs/aboutlit.aspx. The Oregon State Library is located at 250 Winter St. NE in Salem. The public is welcome to attend the Letters About Literature Awards celebration in the meeting room on the first floor. ### -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Librarians should be great at coming up with a "classification scheme" for this. We will, of course, be brainstorming and researching this. But we thought we would ask all of you. Do you have any ideas on good ways to organize staff files? Are there ways that have worked well or not for you in the past? Are there file naming conventions you have used that help?

Here's a screen capture of our file storage top level directory structure. Of course we aren't public facing the way most of you are so ours will probably be more administrative, but the principles should hold up. There's no absolute right or wrong but the proof is in the useability. First rule is NOTHING lives on a workstation. It's okay to compose there but it quickly needs to move to common ground. That is one of my pet peeves, no excuse. NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING. The second object is to NOT base these on workflows. I don't know my admin assistants' workflow that well and when she followed that pattern I could never find anything. Now that she's gone I'm glad we cleaned up. My concept is to pretend it's all for a novice with no preconceived idea of where to look. Base it on functional areas, think of it as an index or TOC. If you want to build a workflow folder, that can be done with shortcuts to the files you want to include. Notice there is an Office Template folder. All the departmental MS Office templates are supposed to be there, and then Office programs are pointed there to find the templates. Even though there is a Personnel folder, that's not the secret stuff, just the publicly available info. We also have a separate archival section that more or less mirrors this structure. We move old business there to preserve it and get it out of the immediate working area. I often lament that our historical files don't go back that far. I intend to keep about everything digitally. If we have project time I'd like to scan old (2003 and before) documents for digital storage. And there's oddball stuff, files that float to the top level for lac of attention or obvious home. Hopefully this will help.

I'm forwarding this on behalf of the ARSL Conference Planning Committee: Early bird registration has opened for the Association for Rural and Small Libraries annual conference. ARSL 2015 will be held in beautiful Little Rock, Arkansas Oct. 1-3rd,with pre-conferences and tours taking place Sept. 30th. Our conference hotel is the Riverwalk Marriott. This conference is completely dedicated to libraries that serve smaller and or rural populations. Last year, well over 300 library professionals gathered for #ARSL2014. This year's goal is 500 small and rural professionals together to gain support from, learn from, and most importantly build connections with each other. You may wonder what small is defined as; well we have long said that if you think your system is small or rural, it probably is! Registration costs for ARSL 2015 begin at $263.50 (member rate),slightly more for non-members. This fee includes 3 days of learning, access to the welcome reception, breakfast (Thurs/Fri.), lunch (Thurs/Fri.), and a Saturday brunch. This year's conference also includes access to all speaker events, including Friday's featured author, PC Cast. Many pre-conferences are available including a session on emergency planning, accidental leadership, apps, and more. Two planned tours are also available. One is a walking tour of the Riverwalk area. The other is a library tour which includes a stop at the Clinton Presidential Center library! Registration for the conference, pre-conferences, and tours is available by going to http://www.regonline.com/2015arslannualconference More information can be found on the ARSL conference webpage We hope to see you in Little Rock for #ARSL2015!

I added links to my PowerPoint and asked the folks at Northwest Central to post it to the OLA Conference 2015 materials page. It should be available soon, but feel free to ask me for the PPT, too. http://nwcentral.org/ http://b8f.645.myftpupload.com/conference-materials/ola-conference-2015/ I want to express my gratitude to Jamie Rumage, Science Education Specialist at the Oregon Department of Education. She could not co-present because of a schedule conflict, but she supplied the science portion of the PowerPoint and tutored me on NGSS 101. :) A librarian in the session wondered if there was a list of science topics that students study by grade level. The short answer is yes and no. After the conference, I asked Jamie for input, and she said, "The new standards are integrated throughout the K-8 levels. This means that are all [science] content areas are being addressed at every grade level. High school can be implemented as integrated or as subject-specific content (e.g. life, physical, earth, space, etc.)." That said, viewing the PDF versions of NGSS by grade level will help provide a clearer picture of how integrated topics are broken down. The Oregon Department of Education has PDFs for individual grade levels and, of course, there are resources on NextGenScience.org. Pay attention to information in the orange column labeled Disciplinary Core Ideas (DCI). http://www.ode.state.or.us/search/page/?id=1577 http://www.nextgenscience.org/search-standards-dci http://www.nextgenscience.org/next-generation-science-standards Jamie sent me the criteria that will be used during the formal ODE process of identifying instructional materials that can be used in Oregon K-12 schools to support the science standards. See attached. That identification process is slated for the summer of 2016. Here are four suggestions for library staff who want to develop their science collections with the goal of supporting students and educators with NGSS: * Consult with school staff to see where they might have a focus or needs. * Consult with school library staff to see what is available there. * Check the NGSS science topics and the ODE science pages for curricular information related to the targeted grade levels. * Refer to the collection development resources listed in the PowerPoint. If you have questions, please ask.

The Digest's purpose is to provide a compilation of statistical information covering the broad field of education from prekindergarten through graduate school. The Digest contains data on a variety of topics, including the number of schools and colleges, teachers, enrollments, and graduates, in addition to educational attainment, finances, and federal funds for education, libraries, and international comparisons. Key findings appearing in the Digest include: Fall 2013 marked a new record for public elementary school enrollment, according to projections. Public elementary enrollments are expected to continue increasing, with an overall increase of 5 percent between 2013 and 2023. Public secondary enrollment is expected to increase 3 percent between 2013 and 2023. Between 1990 and 2012, the status dropout rate-that is, the percentage of 16- to 24-year-olds who have not completed high school and are not enrolled in school-declined from 12.1 to 6.6 percent. Although the status dropout rate declined for both Blacks and Hispanics during this period, their rates (7.5 and 12.7 percent, respectively) remained higher than the rate for Whites (4.3 percent) in 2012. Between fall 2000 and fall 2010, enrollment in 2-year and 4-year colleges rose 37 percent, from 15.3 million to 21.0 million. Enrollment then decreased 2 percent to 20.6 million in fall 2012. >From 1976 to 2012, the percentage of Hispanic college students rose from 4 percent to 15 percent, the percentage of Asian/Pacific Islander students rose from 2 percent to 6 percent, the percentage of Black students rose from 10 percent to 15 percent, and the percentage of American Indian/Alaska Native students rose from 0.7 to 0.9 percent. Americans are completing more years of education. The percentage of 25- to 29-year-olds who had completed high school rose from 87 percent in 2003 to 90 percent in 2013. During the same time period, the percentage of young adults with a bachelor's or higher degree increased from 28 percent to 34 percent.

Because my colleague Mary Kelly-Klein, Instructor of Academic Literacy at MHCC, and I will be co-presenting a program, "Developmental Education Redesign, Acceleration, and Information Literacy," at the upcoming Information Literacy Summit, hosted by the Information Literacy Advisory Group of Oregon (ILAGO) on May 16, 2015, in beautiful Hood River. https://ilago.wordpress.com/oregon-il-summit-2015/ If you're not sure what "developmental education" means and the current statewide redesign efforts, you might find helpful the report for ?Developmental Education Redesign: Decreasing Attrition and Time to Completion at Oregon?s Community Colleges: A Project of Oregon?s 17 Community Colleges and the Department of Community Colleges and Workforce Development ." In this report, the developmental education paradigm is described as "entering students whose knowledge and skills are at the pre-collegiate level, enroll them in a sequence of courses designed to build their knowledge and increase their skills, make them college-ready through these courses and then finally allow them to enroll in college-level classes." For this upcoming IL Summit program, we invite attendees to share their own experiences and brainstorm best practices related to developmental education redesign, accelerated courses, and IL. Here, again, is the survey link (if the link does not open directly, copy-and-paste the link into a new window): http://www.libsurveys.com/ loader.php?id= e8cf567c06580bc6849766b617f151 13 Please share your thoughts by this Wednesday, May 13, so we are able to include a summary of responses at the annual IL Summit on May 16, 2015. We will also share results on the list-serv following the conference. Thanks in advance for your time!

Here's a great opportunity to take part in a national campaign promoting how libraries have changed by engaging with their local community! What is Outside the Lines? Inspired by the urgent need to shift perceptions of libraries, a group of Colorado library marketers and directors have developed a bold, new campaign that reintroduces libraries to their communities and gets people thinking - and talking - about these organizations in a whole new way. Outside the Lines is a weeklong celebration demonstrating the creativity and innovation happening in libraries. First launched in September of 2014, Outside the Lines returns this Sept. 13-19, 2015. During last year's OTL, more than 175 participating library organizations from across the United States and Canada reintroduced themselves to their communities in many creative and meaningful ways such as: * leading community members on a nature hike * handing out gift-wrapped bestsellers on Main Street * bringing a warm cup of coffee to folks at the Laundromat Interested in participating or just want to learn more? You are invited to join a special webinar to connect, ask questions and learn best practices from last year's participants. We'll cover a variety of topics from brainstorming relevant OTL ideas to rallying your staff. Session offered via Adobe Connect at http://connect.enetcolorado.org/librarycommunity/. No registration necessary. Visit the website and sign up for more information: http://getoutsidethelines.org/ -- if you know you're already interested, you can follow their Facebook page to brainstorm on possible ideas for the 2015 campaign at: https://www.facebook.com/GetOutsideTheLines Cheers, Darci ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Darci Hanning * Technology Development Consultant Library Support and Development Services * Oregon State Library 250 Winter St. NE, Salem, OR 97301 503-378-2527 darci.hanning at state.or.us FOLLOW US: [facebookSmall.png] [http://www.thewwwblog.com/images/blogger-logo.jpg] [Picture] -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I will throw some other approaches into the mix here. Since tourists contribute to the economy and since homeless people (many of whom are children) need the library more than just about anybody, we take a different approach to figuring out how we can help people use the library. We do let tourists use the hotel address where they are staying as their local address. Homeless folks often use the address of a shelter where they are able to get mail. Knowing where the shelters or other homeless services are in your community helps facilitate this. We mail a welcome postcard as a means of address verification. It can also help to have a stash of paperbacks (donations work well) or some kind of limited use card (maybe just a couple of items checked out at a time) that you can offer to a person who can't verify an address. You won't have lost much if the material doesn't come back. Even a library with not many resources can make the donated paperback option work. Another trend that we are seeing is libraries that actually put an e-book kiosk in an airport or other location in the community and allow people who are just passing through to have a temporary card for limited use.

Some information I should have probably included in my email is that we do provide a limited-use card for people who don't have a permanent address: it allows for two check-outs at a time and for the same computer use as a normal card. We only require proof of address for a full-privilege card.

I will throw some other approaches into the mix here. Since tourists contribute to the economy and since homeless people (many of whom are children) need the library more than just about anybody, we take a different approach to figuring out how we can help people use the library. We do let tourists use the hotel address where they are staying as their local address. Homeless folks often use the address of a shelter where they are able to get mail. Knowing where the shelters or other homeless services are in your community helps facilitate this. We mail a welcome postcard as a means of address verification. It can also help to have a stash of paperbacks (donations work well) or some kind of limited use card (maybe just a couple of items checked out at a time) that you can offer to a person who can't verify an address. You won't have lost much if the material doesn't come back. Even a library with not many resources can make the donated paperback option work. Another trend that we are seeing is libraries that actually put an e-book kiosk in an airport or other location in the community and allow people who are just passing through to have a temporary card for limited use. We haven't done that yet but are looking at it and weighing the opportunities. A resort town might be able to emulate that somehow to be more welcoming to tourists.

Kathryn?s transcript is online at www.answerland.org/awards In this chat, the patron asks for help in learning how to find authoritative sources. Kathryn greets the patron and asks some clarifying questions, ascertaining that the patron has access to college library databases for writing a paper. In a straightforward, cheerfully helpful manner, Kathryn explains how to find and limit her results in the college library databases to health resources and to scholarly, peer reviewed articles, and how to find government or educational websites using Google?s advanced search limiters. Kathryn encourages the patron to follow up with the college librarians at her school to get an in-depth tour of what is available to her as a college student, reassuring her that her librarians would be happy to help. The patron says in her exit survey, ?Kathryn, was very friendly and helpful, as I am a first time user I needed all the help I could get!? The Answerland Quality Team is impressed with Kathryn?s reference interview, and her very encouraging manner with a student new to library electronic resources. As an expression of our appreciation, Kathryn was presented with flowers and a certificate. Please join us in congratulating her! The Answerland Quality Team Stephanie Debner, Mt.

The ECLS-K:2011 is a longitudinal study that is following students from their kindergarten year to the spring of 2016, when most of them are expected to be in fifth grade. Key Findings From the Second-Grade Rounds include: * No significant differences by age of entry into kindergarten were detected for children's reading knowledge and skills in the spring of second grade. * About 90 percent of children enrolled in kindergarten in 2010?11 were in kindergarten for the first time and were in second grade in 2012?13. * In reading, math, and science, White students, Asian students, and students of two or more races had higher average scores in the spring of second grade than did either Black students or Hispanic students. In math, Hispanic students had higher average scores on the spring assessments than did Black students.

In this digital age it has become increasingly important for libraries to infuse technology into their programs and services. Youth services librarians are faced with many technology routes to consider and app options to evaluate and explore. Claire will discuss innovative and effective ways the library can create opportunities for children, parents and caregivers to explore new technologies. [makeittakeitarduino]After Hours: Circulating Technology to Improve Kids' Access, join Megan Egbert the Youth Services Manager for the Meridian Library District (ID). For years libraries have been providing access and training to technology through their services and programs. Kids can learn to code, build a robot, and make a movie with an iPad at the library. But what can they do when they get home? The Meridian Library (ID) has chosen to start circulating new types of technology such as Arduinos, Raspberry Pi's, robots, iPads and apps. Join Megan to discover benefits, opportunities and best practices. Register for either one or both of the webinars Full details Can't make the date but still want to join in?

(NSLs) that impede judicial and public oversight of such activity. Tonight [5/13/15], the House of Representatives will vote on the USA FREEDOM Act of 2015, H.R. 2048 to finally ban the ?bulk collection? of Americans? personal communications records (library, telephone and otherwise) under Section 215. Critically, it also would preclude the use of other surveillance laws (related to ?PEN registers?) and NSLs to get around that prohibition and would bring the ?gag order? provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act into compliance with the First Amendment by permitting them to be meaningfully challenged in court. The bill, not incidentally, also permits phone and internet companies to publish information (in a sufficiently specific form to be useful) about the number of requests they receive from the government to produce personal subscriber information. It also, for the first time, would create opportunities for specially cleared civil liberties advocates to appear before the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court that authorizes surveillance activities. The bill also makes important ?first step? reforms to privacy-hostile provisions, including Section 702, of the FISA Amendments Act. ALA and its many public and private sector coalition partners strongly support passage of H.R. 2048. That message was underscored by the more than 400 librarian lobbyists who took to Capitol Hill on May 5, during the American Library Association?s (ALA) National Library Legislative Day . They carried with them a stirring and emphatic OpEd urging real reform entitled ?Long Lines for Freedom ? by ALA President Courtney Young, which was published that morning in The Hill, a Congress-centric newspaper widely read by Members of Congress, their staffs and the national press. While House passage of the USA FREEDOM Act is widely expected, its fate in the Senate is uncertain at best. Stay tuned for more on how you can help! http://www.districtdispatch.org/2015/05/u-s-house-poised-to-pass-real-reforms-to-usa-patriot-act/ -- *Diedre Conkling* *Lincoln County Library DistrictP.O.

Massive Public Outcry Key to Passing Real NSA Surveillance Reform Message-ID: http://cqrcengage.com/ala/app/make-a-call?0&engagementId=101134Swamp the Senate!Massive Public Outcry Key to Passing Real NSA Surveillance Reform Last night, the House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed (338 ? 88) the USA FREEDOM Act of 2015 (H.R. 2048): the first real reform of the USA PATRIOT Act in well over a decade. The bill will finally end the "bulk collection" of Americans? library, phone and many other personal records under Section 215 (a.k.a. the "library provision") of the PATRIOT Act and also will for the first time enable meaningful legal challenge of the FBI?s National Security Letters and the gag orders that accompany them. But to become law, USA FREEDOM has to make it through the Senate and make it without being weakened by amendments that make it toothless. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky is dead set against even considering H.R. 2048 and wants to just reauthorize Section 215 and the other provisions of the PATRIOT Act expiring on June 1 without a single change to restore your privacy and civil liberties. Don?t let the Majority Leader and his allies win! Call and email both of your Senators today. Tell them: - DO pass H.R. 2048 (or its identical Senate cousin S. 1123) without any weakening amendments before the Memorial Day recess begins on May 22. - DON?T pass any extension of Section 215 (or any other expiring PATRIOT Act provision), no matter how short. With an expiration date and a Congressional recess looming, next week is the best week to push for passage of the USA FREEDOM Act For more information, see District Dispatch , and please, call both of your Senators today. http://cqrcengage.com/ala/app/make-a-call?0&engagementId=101134 -- *Diedre Conkling* *Lincoln County Library DistrictP.O.

Sager ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Don Wood Date: Fri, May 15, 2015 at 9:34 AM Subject: [alacro-l] Blue Valley High School (Stilwell, KS) named National School Library Program of the Year To: "alacro-l at lists.ala.org" Valley High School, located in Stilwell, Kansas, is the American Association of School Librarians? (AASL) 2015 National School Library Program of the Year (NSLPY) Award recipient. Sponsored by Follett, the NSLPY annually recognizes a school library program that meets the needs of the changing school and library environment and is fully integrated into the school's curriculum. The recipient receives an obelisk ? the symbol of school library excellence ? and $10,000 toward its school library program. Blue Valley High School (BVHS), a public school located in the southern suburbs of Kansas City, serves both a suburban and rural student population. To meet BVHS?s mission of ?High levels of learning for all,? the BVHS school library strives to be the ?heartbeat? of the school, where personal and academic growth is the principle focus. Its primary endeavor is to be service-oriented and provide the school community ? which includes students, teachers, staff and parents - the opportunities and means to achieve and grow. ?The committee was impressed with the two librarians whose strengths complemented each other so well,? said Nancy Everhart, awards committee chair. ?Ken Stewart has developed outstanding community outreach projects - most specifically the College Readiness Dialogue program with academic librarians. Jessica Edwards has strong technology skills and the LibGuides she has created for courses and projects with faculty demonstrated the types of collaboration put forward in Building Partnerships for Learning as outlined in AASL?s program guidelines.? The BVHS school library program maintains a highly participatory culture by holding community conversations about the library with all of its stakeholders. During the conversations, the participants voice their aspirations and goals for the library, possible obstacles to obtaining those goals and solutions to overcoming those obstacles. Participants then receive all of the comments from all of the groups and also regularly receive updates as to how the school library program is approaching the various aspects. ?Congratulations to Blue Valley High School! This school has definitely demonstrated their commitment to quality library services,? said AASL President Terri Grief. ?Just a few years ago the principal at Blue Valley was recognized as the AASL Distinguished Administrator and now the library receives the National School Library Program of the Year Award. The administrator and school librarian partnership is quite evident and is a model for other schools in the nation. The students at BVHS are the real winners. Congratulations to the librarians, Ken Stewart and Jessica Edwards and the entire Blue Valley High School community!? ?We have great respect for innovative school library programs, such as Blue Valley High where the focus is on student success in college and career,? said Tom Schenck, president, Follett School Solutions. ?It's vital today?s school libraries are teaching 21st-century skills, and Follett is committed to supporting and recognizing the programs where kids create, collaborate, and think critically. These are the programs that make a lasting difference in so many lives.? ?We are so grateful for Follett?s longstanding support,? said Grief. ?By sponsoring award programs such as NSLPY, Follett clearly illustrates its advocacy for school library programs and the important role they play in improving literacy.? The AASL award winners will be honored at the AASL Awards Ceremony during the 2015 ALA Annual Conference in San Francisco. The ceremony will be held from 9:00 ? 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, June 27. All are welcome to celebrate the accomplishments of their peers during this recognition event taking place prior to the AASL President?s Program.

Acta, Arts, Avid; J ? Joke; K ? Know, Kern; Q ? Quiz; U ? User, Unit; X ? MMXV (yes it doesn?t start with X, but it dates the book for me); Y ? Year, Yarn. And I got curious about repetitions of words in the list and kept track in a spread sheet. I?ve attached the original spread sheet and also the spread sheet translated into a word document for your interest. The column of M words is the most diverse ? no repetitions of any of the words as reported by you all. As for multiple reportings, in order of frequency: Leaf - 8 times; Copy - 6 times; Text and Love ? 5 times each; Opus, Plot, Tale ? 4 times each. Thanks for your help. Cheers. Edith.

I?m looking for four letter words....of the kind that resonate with ?book?. So far I?ve got book, tome, page, read, & word. If you can come up with others, please email me! Thanks again to those of you who kindly sent me book/library related quotations from your signatures a couple of years ago for an earlier book-related small book project. Cheers.

Sager ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Don Wood Date: Mon, May 18, 2015 at 1:24 PM Subject: [alacro-l] Take Action: Contact Your Senators and Representatives about USA Freedom Act To: "alacro-l at lists.ala.org" Last week, the House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed (338 ? 88) the USA FREEDOM Act of 2015 (H.R. 2048): the first real reform of the USA PATRIOT Act in well over a decade. The bill will finally end the "bulk collection" of Americans? library, phone and many other personal records under Section 215 (a.k.a. the "library provision") of the PATRIOT Act and also will for the first time enable meaningful legal challenge of the FBI?s National Security Letters and the gag orders that accompany them. But . . . to become law, H.R. 2048 also has to clear the Senate, where Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky wants to just extend the current privacy-invasive law for five years without any changes at all. If he can't do that, Senator McConnell and other "surveillance hawks" want to relieve public pressure on the Senate by passing a short-term extension of current law without reforms so that they can amend the "USA FREEDOM Act later to make it toothless (like the House did last year) or to add awful new "poison pill" provisions that would cause groups like ALA and many major corporations to withdraw support of an otherwise positive bill. Congress is scheduled to leave town *this Thursday* for a Memorial Day recess that will extend beyond the June 1 expiration of Section 215 of the PATRIOT Act, so this week will likely decide the fate of the broadest NSA reform in 14 years. Don't let the USA FREEDOM Act "die" in the senate again this year! Contact the offices of both your Senators -- and your Representative in the House -- TODAY. Please tell them : - Senators: PASS H.R. 2048 (or its twin, S. 1123) NOW without any weakening amendments *AND *immediately *publicly *OPPOSE *any *extension of the PATRIOT Act beyond June 1, *no matter how short.* - epresentative: SPEAK OUT PUBLICLY *today *against extension of the PATRIOT ACT *for any period of time* without real reform. Senators need to hear "loud and clear" that even a short-term extension of the PATRIOT Act will be "DOA" in the House, and thus pointless to pass, or they'll just "kick the can" down the road as Sen. McConnell has twice proposed and continues to push. With Section 215's expiration date and a Congressional recess looming, NOW is the critical time to push for passage of the USA FREEDOM Act For more information, see *District Dispatch* , and please, call both of your *Senators and Representative *today. *We submit your correspondence through officials' contact forms and therefore must provide the information that they require.

And that s exactly where genuinely transformational ideas lie. In this book Doucett mines new territory by exploring how successful organizations "outside the stacks" conduct their business. By analyzing what several private-sector organizations and their leaders are doing outstandingly well, she quickly hones in on transformational concepts that are ready for application in public libraries, offering more than a hundred innovative ideas that can be put into practice to improve customer service and day-to-day library operations.

Currently Quill is the Open Education Project Manager at Pierce College. In her webcast, West will speak to the importance of academic librarians fostering an institutional culture that embraces open education as their institutions recognize that textbook costs create a significant barrier to students? access to education. Librarians in Washington State are taking a leadership role in college-wide efforts to adopt alternatives to textbooks by engaging in a Library Services Technology Act (LSTA) Grant administered by the Washington State Library/Office of the Secretary of State. In the effort to achieve open education leadership, West and colleagues have created a course for librarians on how to serve open education needs. The webcast will address the open education skills that librarians are developing in order to better serve the open education needs of our institutions. Quill West is an open education advocate, librarian, and educator from Washington state. Currently Quill is the Open Education Project Manager at Pierce College, where she works with students, faculty, and administrators to lower student costs for textbooks by adopting open resources. Quill has worked in open education for five years, and has worked on a project at Tacoma Community College that successfully saved students over one million dollars in traditional textbook costs.

The following four titles are available from the Oregon State Library via interlibrary loan. Please see the very end of this email for additional information on how to borrow any of these titles. Mallery, Mary, editor. Technology Disaster Response and Recovery Planning: A LITA Guide. Chicago : ALA TechSource, an imprint of the American Library Association, 2015. ISBN: 9780838913154. [https://www.alastore.ala.org/images/Mallery_300.jpg]From the publisher: Most library disaster plans focus on response and recovery from collection and facilities disasters, such as fire and floods. But because technology is becoming ever more integral to libraries' role in their communities, any interruption in service and resources is a serious matter. A disaster's effect on internet and social media sites, electronic resources, digital collections, and staff and public infrastructure of PCs, tablets, laptops and other peripherals requires special consideration. Featuring contributions from librarians who offer hard-won advice gained from personal experience, this compendium leads readers through a step-by-step process of creating a library technology disaster response and recovery plan. This LITA guide: * Outlines the three phases of technology disaster response, with examples of planning and implementation strategies from several different libraries * Describes how to conduct an inventory and risk assessment * Provides detailed case studies of recent large-scale technology disasters in libraries and documents how lessons learned have helped to improve technology disaster planning * Offers an in-depth look at future trends in cloud computing, mapping out the new field of disaster mitigation, response, and recovery planning * Includes useful resources such as checklists, templates, and a sample communications plan Though libraries can never know when or how disaster may strike, with the help of this guide they'll be able to craft a response and recovery plan to weather the storm and get library technology back online as quickly as possible.

[https://www.alastore.ala.org/images/Tidal_300.jpg]From the publisher: Mobile technology has changed the way we interact with one another and our communities. With the proliferation of mobile devices and the constant availability of information access, it is more important than ever for libraries to meet users on their phones and tablets. But not all mobile library approaches are created equal, and in this LITA guide Tidal clarifies the mobile web landscape, helping librarians and library developers create mobile websites and applications from a user-centered perspective. Whether they have previous experience conducting mobile web usability tests, or are new to the concept of user-centered design, readers will find: * A survey of mobile devices, with an analysis of their commonalities and differences, plus discussions on hardware and the concept of mobile context * Information on mobile apps, websites, and hybrids, enabling libraries to make informed decisions on what's best for their users and institutions * Nuts-and-bolts guidance on text editors, HTML, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), web browsers, and other skills and tools necessary for mobile web development * An overview of usability and what the concept means with regard to the library experience * Tips for conducting usability testing and research, from planning to execution and analysis * Sample scripts for recruiting testing volunteers and gathering feedback, a boilerplate consent form, and a bibliography of additional resources With Tidal's valuable guidance, libraries can harness mobile technologies to meet the needs and expectations of library resource users.

[https://www.alastore.ala.org/images/Molaro-White_300.jpg]From the publisher: Progress for the sake of progress is all too often a drain on precious time and resources. The communities and users that libraries serve are always changing; true innovation helps libraries adapt to meet their needs and aspirations both now and in the future. This stimulating collection offers numerous snapshots of innovation in action at a range of libraries, showcasing ideas and initiatives that will inspire librarians at their own institutions. Among the topics covered are: * The importance of creating organizational structures that lead to innovation * Strategies for getting library staff and other stakeholders on board and engaged, complete with a step-by-step toolkit for achieving innovative outcomes * Ways to expand the library beyond its walls to deliver exceptional and innovative services to library users * Money-saving initiatives that use technology to improve users' experience * Innovative uses of library spaces, such as designing and implementing a digital media lab * Examples of creative programming, from running a C2E2-style comic convention, creating an "idea" forum, to re-envisioning a children's writing club and launching Readtember, a month of literacy programs featuring zombies, dads, and gaming This valuable sourcebook encourages readers to take big risks, ask deeper questions, strive for better service, and dream bigger ideas.

Chicago : Neal-Schuman, an imprint of the American Library Association, 2015. ISBN: 9780838912447. [https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?type=xw12&client=chemeketai&upc=&oclc=&isbn=9780838912447/LC.JPG]From the publisher: In the years since John Huber's trailblazing Lean Library Management was published, budget pressures on libraries have only increased. Yet libraries who have adopted his strategies have turned conventional management thinking-that if budgets are reduced, customer service suffers-on its head. These libraries have proven that by streamlining and improving customer services, they can eliminate wasteful activities and bring down costs. In The Purpose-Based Library, Huber and seasoned public library administrator Potter build on insight gleaned from decades of experience to demonstrate how libraries can create real growth opportunities through concentrating on their true mission and purpose, and without spending a lot more money. With a focus on putting ideas into action, they point the way towards: * New ways to think about metrics * Reexamining customer self-driven services * Effectively leveraging the considerable footprint of libraries * Identifying and assessing community needs and realigning library services accordingly * Actively encouraging community fundraising * Offering cutting-edge services and programs Packed with boots-on-the-ground commentary, this book presents strategies to help libraries survive and succeed.

Hannah wrote a powerful letter to Pablo Neruda about how she connected with his poem, "I Do Not Love You Except Because I Love You." She will receive a $200 check from the Center for the Book at the Library of Congress, and her letter will be featured on the national Letters About Literature website (http://www.read.gov/letters/). Oregon's Letters About Literature honorees, including Hannah, were recognized at an awards celebration at the Oregon State Library, and their letters are posted on the Oregon Letters About Literature website (http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/youthsvcs/aboutlit.aspx). To participate in Letters About Literature, students read a book, poem, play, or speech and write to the author, still living or not, detailing how the text affected them personally or changed their world view. The following Oregon children and teens were recognized at the state level for their letters: Level I (4th-6th Grades) Winner: Vicky Siah, Beaverton Runner-Up: Sophie Ong, Beaverton Honorable Mentions: Aletha Lengkong, Eugene; Mia Cremona, Lake Oswego; Cameron Iizuka, Lake Oswego; Phoebe Garrett, Lake Oswego; Amala Rajagopal, Beaverton Level II (7th-8th Grades) Winner: Sophie Ciurlik Rittenbaum, Medford Runner-Up: Madeleine Adriance, Portland Honorable Mentions: Chloe Scribner, Corvallis; Ashleen Smith, Madras; Soumik Chakraborty, Portland; Noah Kurzenhauser, Milwaukie; Zora Kurenhauser, Milwaukie Level III (9th-12th Grades) Winner: Hannah DesChamp, Eugene Runner-Up: Khiarica Rasheed, Portland Honorable Mentions: Sam Arnot, Portland; Mariah Jacobs, Sherwood; Autumn Grube, Keizer The 105 semi-finalists from around the state were honored separately. Letters About Literature is a national reading and writing promotion program of the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress. Local cosponsors are the Oregon Center for the Book at the State Library, the Oregon Reading Association, and three divisions of the Oregon Library Association: Children's Services Division, Oregon Young Adult Network, and Oregon Association of School Libraries. All but the Oregon Center for the Book contribute money to provide prizes. Out of about 50,000 entries nationally, 1,069 came from Oregon children and teenagers. Level I of the contest is open to students in grades 4 through 6, Level II to students in grades 7 and 8, and Level III to students in grades 9 through 12. All entries are sent to the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress to be screened, and letters that make it through that round are sent to Letters About Literature program coordinators in participating states. This year, 124 letters made it through the national screening to be judged in Oregon. Locally, judges are selected by the program coordinator at the State Library, and those judges select a winner, runner-up, and potential honorable mentions for each contest level. In Oregon, anyone whose letter makes it through the national screening but does not place in the state is considered a semi-finalist. As a final step, the winning letter from each of the three levels for all participating states advances to be judged at the national level. Oregon students traditionally do well at the national level. All Oregon honorees receive a certificate from the Oregon Center for the Book. Additionally, first place winners each receive $100, runners-up $50, honorable mentions a $25 bookstore gift card, and semi-finalists a $10 bookstore gift card. These were the Oregon judges: Level I: author Dawn Prochovnic, children's librarian Kathy Viemeister, and school librarian Erin Fitzpatrick-Bjorn; Level II: author Pamela Smith Hill, youth librarian Ann SeCoy, and school librarian Shelby Linn; Level III: author Nancy Osa, youth librarian Violeta Garza, and retired school librarian Marlene Lee. ### -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This app should be of interest to all libraries, is completely free to use, and addresses the needs of at-risk youth. Range is a free app that can be used to locate free meals for youth in the summer months. This year, they intend to add libraries to the app, since they are safe places for youth to go in the summer. Not only will they be adding libraries to the app, but they are also hoping to update all the information, including open hours. Libraries are essential community connectors, and this app can not only help libraries refer youth to free meals, but also can help other social service providers refer youth to the library. What can you do? * Learn more about Range: http://techsoupforlibraries.org/blog/help-youth-find-a-free-meal-and-a-safe-place-this-summer * Get Range: www.RangeApp.org * Share information about Range with your community: http://www.caravanstudios.org/#!range-share/c1yv5 * Help spread the word about their fundraising campaign (or maybe even donate!) to raise $10,000 to add library hours to the directory: bit.ly/rangecampaign With your help, this app can reach more at-risk youth this summer!

Hi. Earlier this month, I announced that Gale is consolidating several databases into a new product for students in grades 6-8. The new middle school database now has a name: Research In Context. The interface will be very similar to that of the other In Context products - like Opposing Viewpoints, Students Resources In Context, and U.S. History In Context - with a few intentional but minor differences. Read more about it on the Gale blog, the Research In Context product page, or FAQ. Research In Context should be available in the Gale common menu (for example, by clicking on PowerSearch) by the beginning of June. The databases that were consolidated will be removed from Oregon accounts as of July 1st. Watch the Gale webinar calendar and tutorials page for opportunities to learn more about Research In Context, starting sometime in June. FYI, Research In Context will be targeted to students in grades 6-8 while Student Resources In Context is geared towards students in grades 9-12. Questions? Please ask.

This yet-to-be-named database will bring together content from and replace the following databases: Discovering Collection, Junior Reference Collection, Student Resource Center Junior (different from Student Resources In Context, which is not changing), and InfoTrac Junior. The new middle school database will feature a modern interface and tool set consistent with Gale's In Context products. Content will be cross-disciplinary, focusing on core curriculum areas of literature, science, and U.S. and world history.

Selected findings include: ? Public schools provided training to classroom teachers or aides on topics such as safety procedures (95 percent), school discipline policies and practices on bullying (89 percent), positive behavioral intervention strategies (81 percent), and recognizing early warning signs of students likely to become violent (48 percent). ? Forty-three percent of public schools had some type of security personnel present at the school at least once a week. By instructional level, 29 percent of elementary, 63 percent of middle, and 64 percent of high school/combined schools had such personnel. ? Student bullying was reported to occur at least once a month at 37 percent of public schools and on occasion at 61 percent of public schools.

Message-ID: *[Hi All, just thought I would share my newest blog post with you.]* I encounter many (often young) librarians in real life and online. One of the most frequent things people tell me is, "How come you are so free with your speech? I could never talk about those things--I would get fired." or more often, "...I would never land a job!" It is striking that librarians consider themselves defenders of free speech and intellectual freedom, but that the above sentiment is held by so many librarians. Why are librarians scared to speak about important issues?

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.

Message-ID: Welcome to another installment in a monthly series covering topics with intellectual freedom implications for libraries of all types. 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. Let?s go to the beach! Can professional reading be page-turning? Sure it can! Here are 10 books (novels, nonfiction, and even manga) to take with you on your Summer vacation, each of them focusing on some aspect of intellectual freedom. Contents include censorship, mass-surveillance, hackers, copyright - and all of them will help you start thinking about intellectual freedom issues in new ways. Be inspired to new heights of militant librarianship for when you return to the library after your break! - *Whiskey Tango Foxtrot* by David Shafer (2014, fiction). Conspiracy alert! Big business wants to privatize everybody?s information (shocking, I know!) so an underground group needs to fight back. Some of the action is set in Oregon. - *The Most Dangerous Book: The Battle for James Joyce's Ulysses* by Kevin Birmingham (2014, nonfiction). Writing *Ulysses *was the easy part: getting it published almost ruined Joyce. - *Library Wars: Love & War* by Kiiro Yumi (2010, manga fiction, 13 volumes and counting). The federal government in this alternate-reality Japan has cracked down on ?troubling? books. What do the local library systems do? They create the Library Forces to fight back! And it?s a romance. - *Censors at Work: How States Shaped Literature *by Robert Darnton (2014, nonfiction). A thoughtful look at how governments have used censorship to shape literature and lives in three different centuries and places: 18th-century France, British-occupied India, and Communist East Germany. - *Pirate Cinema* by Cory Doctorow (2012, young-adult fiction). In this celebration of remix culture, a group of teenage British hackers rebel against the government?s attempts to lock down the Internet. (This would pair nicely with Doctorow?s latest book,* Information Doesn?t Want to be Free *(2014, nonfiction), which has advice and opinion about DRM, copyright, and the Internet.) - *Banned in Boston: The Watch and Ward Society?s Crusade against Books, Burlesque, and the Social Evil *by Neil Miller (2010, nonfiction). A witty, insightful (and scandalous) read about how the good intentions for protecting social mores can restrict freedom and create a backlash. - *No Place to Hide: Edward Snowden, the NSA, and the U.S. Surveillance State* by Glenn Greenwald (2014, nonfiction). A fast-paced account of the Edward Snowden leaks from the journalist who helped leak them, and a persuasive argument for the importance of individual privacy. - *The Library Juice Press Handbook of Intellectual Freedom: Concepts, Cases and Theories*, edited by Mark Alfino and Laura Koltutsky (2014, nonfiction). This collection of new, provocative essays will make you think differently about what intellectual freedom means and how we might work to support it. - *Intellectual Freedom Manual*, 9th edition, edited by Trina Magi and Martin Garnar (2015, nonfiction). Hot off the presses! Get the newly-updated edition of the American Library Association's classic reference work, and keep it handy as you fight the intellectual freedom good-fight at your library. Always meant to read it but never have? Here?s your summer project! - *The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian* by Sherman Alexie (2007, young-adult fiction). According to people who don?t want it in the library, this young-adult novel is: anti-family, culturally insensitive, sexually explicit, violent, and contains drugs, alcohol, smoking, and gambling. And it was the United States? number one most challenged book in 2014 ! You can find all these titles and more on the *OLA Intellectual Freedom Committee?s Goodreads page* . Happy reading, and viva la liberitad intelectual! -Ross Betzer Information Services Librarian - Multnomah County Library Member - Oregon Library Association Intellectual Freedom Committee rossbk at multcolib.org | 503.988.5728 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

She earned a BS in Biology with a French minor from Iowa State University, Ames IA, and an MA in Library and Information Studies from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She is the third Head Librarian in HMSC's 50-year history. Markland succeeds Janet Webster, who retired in January 2015 after 25 years in the position, and Marilyn Potts Guin, Librarian from 1976 until her death in 1989, for whom the Guin Library is named. "The OSU Guin Library is central to HMSC's collaborative, interdisciplinary culture of marine research, especially as OSU launches the Marine Studies Initiative," said Bob Cowen, HMSC Director. "We look forward to an expanded role for the library and I am excited to have Mary join us now, bringing her perspective into the planning process." The welcome reception and open house on May 28 is a chance for community members to meet Markland and learn about the Guin Library and its special marine science collections. The Guin Library, which is open to the public M-F from 8am to 5pm, also hosts an impressive art collection and a special exhibit for HMSC's 50th anniversary, "Deep Roots." The Guin Library is located on the OSU Hatfield Marine Science Center campus in Newport. It is accessible via HMSC's West Entrance on Marine Science (OSU) Drive, just before the traffic circle.

Today, the American Library Association's Office for Information Technology Policy released Digital Futures, a new report that explores the ways that libraries are innovating and leading in the digital revolution. The press release below includes a link to the full report. Thank you. Warm regards, Jazzy Wright Press Officer American Library Association, Washington Office (202) 628-8410, ext. 8208 (Office) (202) 870-7730 (Cell) jwright at alawash.org www.districtdispatch.org New American Libraries supplement finds libraries on the offense in the digital revolution Washington, D.C.-Moving ahead is the overarching theme of the new digital supplement Digital Futures< http://edition.pagesuite-professional.co.uk/Launch.aspx?EID=571167d0-6eca-4989-a66f-2b2bf2c40c97> from American Libraries magazine (access the report: http://edition.pagesuite-professional.co.uk/Launch.aspx?EID=571167d0-6eca-4989-a66f-2b2bf2c40c97). This report from the American Library Association (ALA) features articles both on how libraries are innovating and leading, as well as paths ahead for taking the initiative. "I'm so pleased to see story after story about librarians being proactive related to the opportunities and challenges presented by the digital revolution," said ALA President Courtney Young. "For example, the National Digital Platform proposed by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) will accelerate the necessary trend of increased sharing of technology tools and services across libraries, as discussed in an article by Maura Marx, IMLS acting director, and Trevor Owens, IMLS senior program officer." In the report, two articles focus on particular innovative projects. In "Click, Click, Read," Micah May, director of business development at New York Public Library (NYPL), and James English, Library Simplified product owner at NYPL, tell the story of Library Simplified, a service under development that may ease ebook access for library users. Larra Clark, deputy director of ALA's Office for Information Technology Policy (OITP), describes some of the digital innovation project ideas recently funded by the Knight Foundation in "Empowering Libraries to Innovate." A trio of articles hones in on future directions for libraries and ebooks. In "Building Out the Book Niches," Shannon Okey, publisher of Cooperative Press, makes the case for heightened attention to smaller publishers, while Tim McCall, former vice president at Penguin Group USA, posits that the education market will be the next big disruption for libraries and ebooks in "Digital Library 2.0." In "ALA's DCWG, Ebooks, and Directions," Carolyn Anthony, director, Skokie (Ill.) Public Library, brings together these threads and other ALA priority directions. "Being on offense includes both taking action and planning for future action," said Alan S. Inouye, guest editor of the supplement and director of ALA OITP. "Thus, the final four articles articulate areas in which the library community has a particular opportunity and responsibility to emphasize in the near-term." James G. Neal, university librarian emeritus at Columbia University, warns us that "we are in trouble" regarding born-digital materials and digital preservation in his article "Preserving the Born-Digital Record." There are some specific actions that we can take to improve our management of digital privacy in libraries and upgrade the user experience, explains Eric Hellman, president of Gluejar, in "Toward the Post-Privacy Library?" Sari Feldman, executive director of the Cuyahoga County Public Library (CCPL) and ALA president-elect and Hallie Rich, director of communications and external relations at CCPL, urge us to reconsider how we can recruit the best and brightest into librarianship and what skills these students must possess in "Transforming the Library Profession." Finally, Vailey Oehlke, director of the Multnomah County (Ore.) Library and president-elect of the Public Library Association and Alan S. Inouye conclude the supplement with "A Policy Revolution for Digital Content," which lays out an overall framework for how the library community needs to be ever-more proactive in its national policy advocacy. Digital Futures< http://edition.pagesuite-professional.co.uk/Launch.aspx?EID=571167d0-6eca-4989-a66f-2b2bf2c40c97> is the fifth American Libraries magazine supplement on ebooks and digital content. For more information about the ALA's digital content activities, visit the American Libraries E-content blog< http://americanlibrariesmagazine.org/blogs/e-content/>. Join the digital content discussion at the 2015 ALA Annual Conference in San Francisco. At the session "Making Progress in Digital Content," Digital Content Working Group (DCWG) co-chairs Carolyn Anthony and Erika Linke discuss the latest trends and then moderate a panel with Yoav Lorch (TotalBooX) and Monica Sendze (Odilo). The session takes place Sunday, June 28, from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. in the Moscone Convention Center, West Building, Room 2018. Print copies of this supplement will be available at the session.
