The ALA Public Programs Office, in partnership with the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority (FINRA) Investor Education Foundation, is accepting
applications for *Thinking Money*, a traveling exhibition to U.S. public
libraries.



Money affects all Americans, but many of us lack the knowledge we need to
make smart financial choices that will prepare us for whatever the future
brings. *Thinking Money* strives to teach tweens, teens and their parents,
caregivers and educators about financial literacy topics ? like saving,
spending and avoiding fraud ? in a way that is not only understandable, but
fun.



*Thinking Money* is a museum-quality exhibition that will travel to 50 U.S.
public libraries between 2016 and 2018. Through an adventure-themed
storyline, interactive iPad content and other fun, hands-on activities, the
exhibition explores themes like wants vs. needs, preparing for a
rainy/sunny day, and imagining your future self.



Each selected site will receive:



-        the 1,000-square-foot traveling exhibition ? including two iPads
preloaded with fun educational content and four low-tech activity stations
? for a six-week loan;

-        travel and accommodations to attend an orientation workshop at the
2016 ALA Annual Conference in Orlando;

-        online training modules for library staff;

-        tips and tools for related programs; and

-        a $1,000 programming allowance.



For guidelines and to apply online, visit www.ala.org/thinkingmoney.
Applications are due Jan. 29, 2016.



Prospective applicants are encouraged to attend one of two informational
conference calls about the exhibition on Thursday, Nov. 19 at 12 p.m. CST
or Wednesday, Dec. 9 at 2 p.m. CST.  To register for a conference call, please
email Brian Russell with your preferred date.
<brussell at ala.org?subject=Thinking%20Money%20conference%20call%20>

ALA and the FINRA Foundation have partnered since 2007 on Smart investing @
your library <http://smartinvesting.ala.org/>, a program that funds library
efforts to provide patrons with effective, unbiased educational resources
about personal finance and investing. Now in its eighth year, the program
has awarded over $10 million to public libraries, community college
libraries and library networks nationwide. ALA and the FINRA Foundation are
also working together on a research study of financial literacy resources
and services available in U.S. public libraries.

Subject: [Libs-Or] New ACRL e-Learning Webinar Available for Viewing
Message-ID: <CAEHnp8rvz3BBYArPBtw2-KUZAGjqxeKnwVDQTEUbWS3G4gQRKg@mail.gmail.com>

Hey ACRL-OR members, if you missed the live August viewing of ACRL?s
e-Learning webinar, *Libraries and Student Success: A Campus Collaboration
with High Impact Educational Practices*, don?t worry. You and/or a group of
colleagues can view the archived version at any time. Please follow the
guidelines below to schedule your webinar viewing.

These webinars <http://www.ala.org/acrl/webcasts> are a benefit of ACRL-OR
membership, thus a librarian holding ACRL-OR membership must sponsor any
planned webinar event. These webinars can be used as professional
development opportunities for your library or small group gathering, but
please note that *ACRL stipulates that these webinars are only for
single-location viewing.*
*To schedule a webinar viewing, please use the following guidelines:*

   1. An ACRL-OR member librarian must sponsor the webinar event and serve
   as the event contact.
   2. Choose an archived webinar from the list of available webinars
   <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CI0epmnAupYzbeZOfA5nHKIcXQ8ZRIDg6qbg7QRgpsc/edit?usp=sharing>
   .
   3. Check the webinar calendar
   <https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=jjit5p4o9jo1ccl7ulvu9pva30 at group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/Los_Angeles>
   to be sure the webinar you want is available on the date of your event.
   4. Request webinar access by emailing ACRL-OR Board President,
   Uta.Hussong-Christian <uta.hussong-christian at oregonstate.edu>? include
   the webinar title and date of your event (your request will be added to the
   webinar calendar).
   5. Please abide by ACRL?s (national) guidelines for chapter use of these
   webinars: ?*Your group registration allows you to project the Webcast to
   participants in the **same **location*.? This means that only *one *login
   is allowed per event and that the webinar is only for single-location
   viewing. The designated contact should not provide the webinar login to
   other individuals for the purposes of remote viewing outside of the
   scheduled event. These are ACRL?s limitations in exchange for complimentary
   access? ACRL-OR asks that you respect these limitations.

Message-ID: <CADQ8EtbaFjTiVrZ6sRPTtZX+JQOU67q5hqDi6-A_eyAKaqOXGA@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

During Banned Books Week 2015, Multnomah County Library hosted a panel
discussion entitled *Censorship by Omission*, which featured the young
adult authors Stacey Lee <http://www.staceyhlee.com/>, Isabel Quintero
<http://laisabelquintero.com/>, and Tess Sharpe
<http://www.tess-sharpe.com/>, and Swati Avasthi
<http://www.swatiavasthi.com/>. Although none of the authors were banned,
they each discussed the ways in which they experienced censorship by
writing stories that differ from the dominant culture.

If you are interested in the topic of diverse books
<http://weneeddiversebooks.org/>, you can now listen to the Censorship by
Omission podcast on our catalog
<http://multcolib.libsyn.com/censorship-by-omission>.

I hope you enjoy it.

Message-ID: <257D023B-C29B-4D3C-854C-4B05D8992A3D@uoregon.edu>

Hello,

I am writing to let you know about an exhibit that will be taking place on the University of Oregon main/Eugene campus from November 9-20, 2015 in the Global Scholars Hall building (1710 E. 15th Avenue, Eugene, OR 97403). The exhibit will commemorate the 70th anniversary of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan. In conjunction with the exhibit, there will be a special presentation on November 19th at 6pm in the Global Scholars Hall room 123 with Professor of History, Jeff Hanes and atomic bomb survivor, Ed Kawasaki; they will talk about the history and aftermath of the bombings. In addition, Eugene Mayor Kitty Piercy will attend to read Eugene?s Proclamation for Peace as part of the Mayors for Peace program. Refreshments will be served and it should be a wonderful event!

I hope that this exhibit will be of interest to you. Please consider viewing the exhibit, attending the featured presentation, and/or passing on this information to anyone else you know who might be interested. Both are free and open to the public. A flyer with all of this information is attached for your convenience. Please don?t hesitate to get in touch with me if you have any questions!

Thank you,
Yen Tran

Message-ID: <CAOJ6Ts6AdzwYYsfJSVCsDzbG2PmooAFRBme=CgGkHZ5B4TAzeA@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all (especially children's librarians!)

Do you shelve your easy readers face out?  Here's an example of what I
have in mind: http://www.petry-kuhne.com/sites/default/files/styles/portfolio/public/kids%2520books-thumb-400x253.jpg?itok=xCx59xoH

If so, how do you do it?  Bins on shelves?  Specially built shelves?
Are books sorted by level, and if so, how specific do you get with the
order (i.e. are they shelved by author within each level, or do you
not worry too much about shelving these in a specific way within each
level)?

Our library recently purchased a bunch of graded readers for our ESOL
and Adult Basic Skills students, and we're exploring how exactly we'd
like to shelve them.  I'm hesitant to shelve them spine-out; if folks
are new to reading English, it seems like a disservice to make them
try to read it in small, sideways print as they are trying to select a
book.

Any guidance you can provide would be very appreciated!

We?ll start with a brief overview of the program, but these trainings will primarily focus on the Competitive Bidding Process, RFPs and the Form 470. We?ll talk about how to manage the new C2 funding budgets, tips to ensure that you conduct a fair and open competitive bidding process, and what resources are available to you to help you maximize your efforts and your BUDGET!

Can?t make one of these sessions? Don?t worry! ODE has you covered with a pre-recorded training that will be coming out in late November-early December.

We have labelled the easy reader collection with different colored stickers on the spine for each level.  They are not grouped together by level on the shelves , but can be searched for by level in the public catalog.  We decided not to separate the levels because visually the stickers were enough and we didn't have to worry about having author's titles in different locations.

Hi--we are deaccessioning our Times of London 1785-1899 microfilm
collection and wondered if anyone is interested in it.  It consists of 9
banker's boxes and probably weighs in the vicinity of 300 pounds.  Please
let me know if you are interested.

Thanks,

Libraries Thank Voters for Continued Support
A county of readers - Washington County voters renew support for library operations

Washington County, Oregon: On Tuesday, November 3rd Washington County voters approved the Washington County Cooperative Library Services (WCCLS) replacement operating levy. Unofficial returns as of November 4 give the levy a 64% approval. With nearly 97,000 votes counted, the library community is delighted with this show of support from Washington County voters. According to Eva Calcagno, Director of the Cooperative Library Services, "WCCLS would like to thank the voters of Washington County for their continued support of countywide library services with the passage of Measure 34-235!"

The renewal of the local option levy, Measure 34-235, means that funding from the approved levy will maintain and expand countywide operating support at an increased rate of 22? per $1,000 of assessed value for the next five years, beginning July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2021.

Following the election returns Calcagno remarked, "With this increased funding, WCCLS and member libraries will maintain and expand the services and collections our patrons want, both in the library and in the community through increased electronic offerings and outreach programs to meet people where they are. We look forward to offering the residents of Aloha more convenient direct neighborhood access to the WCCLS system with the addition of the Aloha Community Library as a full member. We congratulate the residents of Bethany, Cornelius and Hillsboro who will welcome expanded library operations in coming years, as well as the residents of Banks, Garden Home, North Plains and Tigard who will see increased open hours at their local libraries."

Thank you, voters, for your continued confidence in your public libraries as vital components of your quality communities since 1976.

The Washington County Cooperative Library Services (WCCLS), includes the: Banks Public Library, Beaverton City Library, Beaverton City Library @ Murray Scholls, Cedar Mill Community Library, Cedar Mill Community Library @ Bethany, Cornelius Public Library, Forest Grove City Library, Garden Home Community Library, Hillsboro Public Libraries (Main and Shute Park), North Plains Public Library, Sherwood Public Library, Tigard Public Library, Tualatin Public Library, and West Slope Community Library.

[RSpeer]On September 30, 2015, Robin Speer retired from the Oregon State Library. She has been with the State Library for 14 years, and in state service for a total of 29 years. Before joining the State Library staff, Robin worked at the Capitol in Visitor Services, in addition to supporting members of the Oregon Legislature. Robin continued her service to the State of Oregon at the State Library working in administration before becoming the volunteer coordinator for the agency and fund development coordinator for the Talking Book and Braille Library. She has made meaningful connections with many of our most dedicated volunteers. Robin has also supported the State Library Board and two different State Librarians throughout her time with the State Library. As one of her last projects, Robin made her idea of a Talking Books donor board a reality. We thank her sincerely for her years of service, sharing her creativity, upbeat attitude, innovation, and loyalty with the agency. We wish her the best in her retirement!

Resources Available at the State of Oregon Law Library

[SupremeCourt]The State of Oregon Law Library<http://soll.libguides.com/home> (SOLL) is located on the second floor of the Supreme Court building in Salem, Oregon. SOLL is open to the public from 8am to 5pm Monday through Friday. Citizens of Oregon can sign up for a free library card and take full advantage of both the reference support and physical materials. SOLL also provides a wide range of support for patrons who are unable to come to the library, including an Ask a Law Librarian<http://soll.libguides.com/questions> service and online subject guides<http://soll.libanswers.com/browse.php>.

Recently, the State of Oregon Law Library also invested in two online legal resources that are available to all Oregonians: EBSCO's Legal Information Reference Service<https://stateoforegonlawlibrary.blogspot.com/2015/04/nolo-books-and-ebscos-legal-information.html> and Fastcase<https://stateoforegonlawlibrary.blogspot.com/2015/10/free-fastcase-access-for-all-oregonians.html>. If you need assistance with any of these resources you can contact the State of Oregon Law Library's reference librarian Lewis Zimmerman by phone (503-986-5640) or by email<mailto:state.law.library at ojd.state.or.us>.

EBSCO's Legal Information Reference Service<https://stateoforegonlawlibrary.blogspot.com/2015/04/nolo-books-and-ebscos-legal-information.html>

This database features materials from the legal publisher NOLO. NOLO books are legal reference books for non-lawyers which cover many common legal issues. The State of Oregon Law Library has put together a short guide<https://stateoforegonlawlibrary.blogspot.com/2015/04/nolo-books-and-ebscos-legal-information.html> to introduce this resource and provides login information.

Fastcase<https://stateoforegonlawlibrary.blogspot.com/2015/10/free-fastcase-access-for-all-oregonians.html>

Fastcase combines advanced search options with a wide range of law from the federal government, the state of Oregon, and other states in the federal 9th circuit. Fastcase is known for its ability to parse search results in a way that is similar to popular search engines, making it more intuitive than many other legal databases. It also features the Bad Law Bot, an automated service that attempts to identify when other courts have cited a case negatively. SOLL has put together a guide<https://stateoforegonlawlibrary.blogspot.com/2015/10/free-fastcase-access-for-all-oregonians.html> that describes this resource and provides login instructions.

Measure 20-235 - Eugene Public Library Levy - City of Eugene
QUESTION:  Shall Eugene levy $2,700,000/year for five years, beginning 2016-2017, to increase library hours and expand other library services?
This measure may cause property taxes to increase more than three percent.

SUMMARY:  On November 3, 2015, City of Eugene voters will decide whether to fund expanded Eugene Public Library services for five years. Measure 20-235 was placed on the ballot by the Eugene City Council.
If approved by voters, Measure 20-235 would expand Eugene Public Library services at a cost of about $36 per year on each property tax statement.
The levy would add 22 hours each week at the neighborhood Bethel and Sheldon Branches, bringing each to a total of 48 open hours across six days each week. (Currently, they are open 26 hours across five days.) Sunday morning hours would be restored at the Downtown Library.
Measure 20-235 funding
The Library's current level of services is supported by $10.6 million per year from the City of Eugene General Fund and donations. If approved by the voters, the levy would add $2.7 million annually for five years (about $36 per year for a typical Eugene property tax statement, or about 17? per $1,000 assessed value).


Yes (52.78)   No (47.22)





Measure 34-235 - Library Replacement Levy - Washington County



Question:  Shall Washington County support library services countywide by levying 22C per $1,000 assessed value for five years, beginning in 2016? This measure may cause property taxes to increase by more than three percent.



Summary: This measure replaces a levy that expires in June 2016. It supports member libraries of Washington County Cooperative Library Services (WCCLS) in Banks, Beaverton, Cedar Mill, Cornelius, Forest Grove, Garden Home, Hillsboro, North Plains, Sherwood, Tigard, Tualatin and West Slope; adds Aloha Library. It funds central support and outreach services linking libraries together. Expiring levy provides 1/3 of total WCCLS funding.



Yes (63.99) No (36.01)



Measure 22-139 - Sweet Home Library Five Year Operating Levy Continuation



Question: Shall the City continue the Library Operating Levy beginning in 2016 and maintain current services for another five years? This measure may cause property taxes to increase more than three percent.



Summary:  This levy would begin July 1, 2016 and all revenues received used to provide continued funding for the City of Sweet Home Library operations through June 2021.

This five year levy would produce at a rate of $1.17 per $1,000 of assessed value an estimated total of $2,620,269.02 from the following estimated annual authorizations to levy: $493,539.65 in 2016; $508,345.84 in 2017; $523,596.21 in 2018; $539,304.10 in 2019; and $555,483.22 in 2020. This estimate may reflect the impact of early payment discounts, compression and the collection rate.



Yes (57.75) No (41.80)

I have a friend who works for NG right now (not cut!), and she watched all
her office mates get laid off this last week. Listening to her about the
changes coming down the pipeline, I am not going to be seeking out a new
subscription to NG at all. Sounds more commercialized, politicized, and
less exploratory.

I have all my books for easy or lower level readers set in bins facing out.
Since I am in a school these books see a huge amount of use so sorting is
really not high on my list of things to do. But since most of my books are
either already labeled with a number (1,2,3), they are separated as such or
by their overall subject, i.e., super heroes, Curious George, Leap Frog,
etc. I purchase big tubs and set the books facing out. Preschool, kinders,
and first graders all have at the bins, and then I just loosely sort them
back into place everyday. I trust the kids to make the best choices for
themselves. We also try to work with them on the Five Finger Rule for
selecting a book.

Message-ID: <40E47344E540A0408F9A1B848F6CDD4742B3EB72@CVOEXDAG2.ci.corvallis.or.us>

A patron can't remember the title or author of a children's dinosaur book published (probably) in the 70s. It has a blue-green cover with a sail-back dinosaur on it ("possibly a dimetrodon"), is larger than 8.5 x 11 inches and features a "mural" on the inside of the front and back covers in which humans are clinging to rocks to avoid a flood.

A longshot, I think, but you never know.

Thanks,

Our new guide to historical City records related to African Americans<http://efiles.portlandoregon.gov/Record/8122250> is now available online!

The guide compiles PARC resources related to the African American community in order to help make your research just a little bit easier. You can find the guide using our online catalog, Efiles<http://efiles.portlandoregon.gov/Record/>; along with the photos<http://efiles.portlandoregon.gov/Record/8122241> and documents<http://efiles.portlandoregon.gov/Record/8160197> used to create the publication.  So if you saw a photo or a document in the guide and would like take a closer look, you can now find it in Efiles.

We have also worked with other archives and special collections<http://efiles.portlandoregon.gov/Record/8122242> in Oregon that house relevant historical materials that you might find interesting. There's the Urban League Portland Chapter records at Oregon State University<http://efiles.portlandoregon.gov/Record/8160231> and almost sixty oral histories available at the Oregon Historical Society<http://efiles.portlandoregon.gov/Record/8160227>.  You can find these guides available on Efiles, too.

Our goal for creating the guide, uploading the photos and documents and working with our colleagues is to help make your research even more successful.  We will continue to upload materials to these online files, so make sure you check back.

Go to our online record: African American History Guide and supporting materials<http://efiles.portlandoregon.gov/record/8122239>

Message-ID: <690BC3FA65BEB742A741E6166022021421FCC689@WCCLSEXC10.wccls.lib.or.us>

In response to Gretta?s question about the recent news of layoffs and changes at NationaI Geographic:

In my opinion, I don?t think the general public really knows how this is playing out so fast, nor how media can be easily skewed to another perspective. (Info literacy 101 ? we teach it every day at the library, if we?re lucky to get the chance. This is a great example of a teachable moment ? but maybe it?s too late already.)

NatGeo has been going this way for a while, but at least until recently the ownership were more connected with the original mission of the society. The brand recognition for the yellow-border cover is so huge (which has been brilliantly leveraged through social media) that regardless of the content, it still carries the gravitas of that 127-year history. My theory is that most people won?t notice, since the rest of the media they consume is cast in this entertainment-based light.
http://www.adweek.com/news/technology/natgeo-remains-king-social-media-jungle-updated-list-top-25-brands-167743

By coincidence, the Tech Services staff just put a new map on my desk, from the most recent issue of NatGeo ? ?Amazonia ? the Human Impact? ? which shows credits including the datasets metadata used, funding for the map by nonprofit foundations as well as the Bio Program of the Inter-American Development Bank. I wonder if some of the editors and researchers of the map have lost their jobs, and whether those funders will be working with Nat Geo in the future?  How long will this portal be visible on their website?
http://www.nationalgeographic.com/climate-change/explore-amazonia/#/

As librarians, we try and reflect the interests of our community in our collections. It will be interesting to see how libraries respond to this change in content of a venerable brand.

Hi Great Brain,



I'm hoping someone can help me out with this stumper.



Here is what I know:



The juvenile science fiction book (or short story) begins with a guy being interviewed by a computer. He is sent to some sort of desert planet or desert world that is inhabited by beings with leather skin. It is very hot there, but there is a fruit he can eat that helps him tolerate the heat and also makes him be able to go very fast.



The patron is a gentleman who I would guess is in his 50s or 60s, and he read it as a kid, so I would guess it was probably published in the 1960s or before.



I did a google search and was able to find somebody else on a science fiction forum searching for what I believe may be the same book. The clue I got from that was that the person thinks the planet or world may be called something like Alpha. But I'm not sure if this is just a false lead or not. I'm wondering if the author possibly could be Robert Silverberg, and if the story may be Revolt on Alpha C, but I can't find enough of a description to find out whether it matches the patron's description, and when he reads the description, it doesn't ring a bell with him.



Any ideas?

Holly,
I'm wondering if you might have a few more details from your patron regarding the plot of the book that he remembers reading. 

While Dune with it's sandworms might match, the protagonist wasn't interviewed by computers because in Frank Herbert's universe computers are replaced by calculating humans and by navigators who fold space. Raw spice doesn't make people run faster, it makes them see different timelines.?? 

The description also matches a few Leigh Bracket's stories that are set on Mars. (The good news is if one of those is the book, her Martian stories were collected and reprinted in one volume a few years ago.) 

It also matches the details of stories written by Roger Zelazny and others. So knowing the main story problem would help narrow it down. It sounds familiar and may be novella. It may be that he read one of the Ace Doubles and is confusing two stories. 

Would you feel comfortable if I forwarded your to James Gunn and Christopher McKitterick at the?Center for the Study of Science Fiction at the University of Kansas? Founding director Jim Gunn has studied SF for most of his life and served on the advisory board of the Science Fiction & Fantasy Hall of Fame.?Both Jim and Chris belong to the?Science Fiction Research Association and if they don't know the book, they can get their colleagues tracking it down via the SFRA's listserv.
(By the way, I'm the teen librarian at the Marysville Library. part of Sno-Isle Libraries, and a totally SF geek.)

Message-ID: <CAMRQK4QSi35cbBy3gY0iVCRgmO4xS=xRYByeUQKzT=hHkc_wCQ@mail.gmail.com>

Colleagues,
Are there any lists of children's books written originally in Spanish that
you would recommend for K-6 grades? Any lists I'm finding in LLSTA are from
2009 or older. I'm not looking for books translated from English to
Spanish, but those books written in Spanish.

I've already looked on ALSC's website as well as Reforma's.

Thanks in advance for any tips.
Cheers,
Emily

 Answerland Advisory Council
Message-ID: <F44236584DA70F4CB76C5DD62696C388072A94@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local>

The Oregon State Library is looking for new members to serve on the Answerland Advisory Council (AAC).

About Answerland
Answerland<https://www.answerland.org/> is Oregon's statewide virtual reference service. Recently, the oversight of Answerland was transitioned from Multnomah County Library to the Oregon State Library. As part of the process, Answerland's former Advisory Board<https://www.answerland.org/advisory-board> is being reformed as the Answerland Advisory Council under the State Library.

The State Library wishes the AAC to continue in the role of setting the mission, goals, and direction of Answerland program. The ultimate vision is to create, maintain and continually improve a high-quality online reference program that succeeds in serving the needs of all residents of Oregon.

About Serving on the AAC
The Answerland Advisory Council seeks representatives with experience in virtual reference and collaborative library services, as well as a desire to reinvigorate and grow the Answerland program.

Initial terms begin January 2016, and can run for one, two, or three years (terms will be staggered to ensure the continuity of future membership). Goals for the first year will include advising the Answerland coordinator and State Library regarding the implementation and promotion of a new software platform.

Process and Timeline for Nominations
Nominations are being accepted at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/5NQ9YQG. The deadline for nominations is Friday, December 4, 2015, 5:00 pm. Self-nominations are encouraged. If you know someone who may be interested, please pass along this message.

Submissions will be reviewed by the State Librarian and appointed staff. They will strive to keep a balance of representation from all types of libraries and geographic regions. Once confirmed, the slate of nominees will be presented by the State Library staff to the State Library Board at their January 2016 meeting. Appointees will be notified by the State Library as soon as possible after the Board meeting.

Questions?
Please contact Tamara Ottum at tamara.ottum at state.or.us<mailto:tamara.ottum at state.or.us> or 503-378-6506.

Hi Great Brain,



I'm hoping someone can help me out with this stumper.



Here is what I know:



The juvenile science fiction book (or short story) begins with a guy being interviewed by a computer. He is sent to some sort of desert planet or desert world that is inhabited by beings with leather skin. It is very hot there, but there is a fruit he can eat that helps him tolerate the heat and also makes him be able to go very fast.



The patron is a gentleman who I would guess is in his 50s or 60s, and he read it as a kid, so I would guess it was probably published in the 1960s or before.



I did a google search and was able to find somebody else on a science fiction forum searching for what I believe may be the same book. The clue I got from that was that the person thinks the planet or world may be called something like Alpha. But I'm not sure if this is just a false lead or not. I'm wondering if the author possibly could be Robert Silverberg, and if the story may be Revolt on Alpha C, but I can't find enough of a description to find out whether it matches the patron's description, and when he reads the description, it doesn't ring a bell with him.



Any ideas?

Subject: [Libs-Or] Free to a good home
Message-ID: <564136C0.6090005@cclsd.org>

I'm looking for a good home for approximately 75 books for tutors or 
students using the Laubach literacy method for teaching adults how to 
read ("each one teach one:).  Most of the books were published by New 
Readers Press, of Laubach Literacy International.

This collection belongs to the Coos County Literacy Council and is 
stored here at the North Bend Public Library.  The Council no longer 
needs these materials and wants to donate them to a nonprofit group or a 
library.  They're free.  If you're interested please contact me directly 
and arrange to pick them up, etc. They're in excellent condition and 
most of stored in sealed plastic bins.

Thanks,
Gary Sharp

Subject: [Libs-Or] Stumper


Hi Great Brain,



I'm hoping someone can help me out with this stumper.



Here is what I know:



The juvenile science fiction book (or short story) begins with a guy being interviewed by a computer. He is sent to some sort of desert planet or desert world that is inhabited by beings with leather skin. It is very hot there, but there is a fruit he can eat that helps him tolerate the heat and also makes him be able to go very fast.



The patron is a gentleman who I would guess is in his 50s or 60s, and he read it as a kid, so I would guess it was probably published in the 1960s or before.



I did a google search and was able to find somebody else on a science fiction forum searching for what I believe may be the same book. The clue I got from that was that the person thinks the planet or world may be called something like Alpha. But I'm not sure if this is just a false lead or not. I'm wondering if the author possibly could be Robert Silverberg, and if the story may be Revolt on Alpha C, but I can't find enough of a description to find out whether it matches the patron's description, and when he reads the description, it doesn't ring a bell with him.



Any ideas?

It is my understanding that Project Wombat,
http://project-wombat.org/faq.shtml, is a good place to ask these kinds of
questions.  Librarians all over the country will help you.  It use to be
called Stumpers.

The clue I got from that was that the person thinks the planet or world may be called something like Alpha. But I'm not sure if this is just a false lead or not. I'm wondering if the author possibly could be Robert Silverberg, and if the story may be Revolt on Alpha C, but I can't find enough of a description to find out whether it matches the patron's description, and when he reads the description, it doesn't ring a bell with him.

I'm wondering if it is one of the Dorsai novellas (Childe Cycle) written by Gordon R. Dickson. See the ISFDB for all the titles at Gordon R. Dickson - Summary Bibliography

FYI, the Speculative Fiction Database has editors who compare to Clute and Nicholls (1995) The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction,?The Locus Index to Science Fiction (sometimes called the Contento indexes from when they were on CD-ROM.) 

I checked Clark Ashton Smith's The Immortals of Mercury, which is a collection of his stories, in Clute and Nicholls (1995.) He appears to have written mainly planetary romances (AKA space opera on a planet) that were published in Weird Tales and other pulps in the 1930s. 

I do wonder if the patron is missremembering two stories as one (computer interview and the desert planet being separate stories.) If so, he many be remembering?an anthology or a collection. It may be there are connected stories. 

It also reminds me of the?Jack Vance's Planet of Adventure stories, which as per ISFDB were:Planet of Adventure   
   -  1 City of the Chasch (1968) also appeared as:      
      -  Variant Title: Chasch (1986)
      -  Variant Title: The Chasch (2005)

   -  2 Servants of the Wankh (1969) also appeared as:      
      -  Variant Title: Wankh (1986)
      -  Variant Title: The Wannek (2005)

   -  3 The Dirdir (1969)
   -  4 The Pnume (1970)
   -  Tscha? 1 [French] (1971) [O] 
   -  Tscha? 2 [French] (1971) [O] 
   -  Planet of Adventure (1973) [O/1,2,3,4] also appeared as:      
      -  Variant Title: Tschai (2005) [O] 


 The Planet of Adventure stories were collected and rereleased in 1993 by Tor under Planet of Adventure (see http://www.worldcat.org/title/planet-of-adventure/oclc/28376677). If I remember correctly, there is a computer scene and a desert but I can't remember running fast. The protagonist has lots of training but not special powers.

>From the ACLU of Oregon:
http://www.aclu-or.org/content/black-lives-matter-supporters-oregon-targeted-state-surveillance

With privacy being such a core value of our profession, I felt compelled to
share this. Curious if there could be a discussion of OLA joining the list
of organization who have signed the letter to the Attorney General about
this issue? Letter can be found here:
http://aclu-or.org/content/letter-attorney-general-ellen-rosenblum-regarding-surveillance-blacklivesmatter

In showing our support, as a state professional organization, we would be
joining the ranks of the ACLU, NAACP Portland Branch, NAACP
Eugene/Springfield Branch, AFL-CIO, Asian Pacific American Network of

*About D?a*

The Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC), a division of the
American Library Association (ALA), is reaching out to organizations
nationwide to build a national database that showcases all types and sizes
of D?a programming.

D?a is a nationally recognized initiative that emphasizes the importance of
literacy for all children from all backgrounds. It is a daily commitment to
linking children and their families to diverse books, languages and
cultures. The common goals of all D?a programming are to:

   - Celebrate children and connect them to the world of learning through
   books, stories and libraries.
   - Nurture cognitive and literacy development in ways that honor and
   embrace a child?s home language and culture.
   - Introduce families to community resources that provide opportunities
   for learning through multiple literacies.
   - Recognize and respect culture, heritage and language as powerful tools
   for strengthening families and communities.

We invite you to tell us what you are doing at your library throughout the
year to celebrate D?a. The information will display on the website, in both
the map and database format, allowing you to share it with other librarians
and the public interested in learning more about D?a programs happening
around the country.

We also invite you to help us evaluate and track D?a on a national level by
participating in a brief survey after your D?a event(s). By checking ?yes!?
at the end of this form, you agree to receive the survey to be sent in May.
The information you provide in the survey will help us evaluate the success
of D?a and provide information to help D?a grow.

The late Dr. Isabel Schon authored a series called Recommended Books in Spanish for Children and Young Adults. I think the most recent edition covered 2004-2008; the copy<https://ccrls.ent.sirsi.net/client/en_US/oslpublic/search/detailnonmodal/ent:$002f$002fSD_ILS$002f0$002fSD_ILS:933900/ada?qu=spanish+books&te=ILS> in the Oregon State Library collection can be ILLed<http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/school/index.aspx#Request_Materials>. Many of the books reviewed in the reference work were originally published in Spanish.
Those are older titles, but it seems that the Isabel Schon International Center for Spanish Books for Youth at the San Diego Public Library has a database of ?high-quality books in Spanish for children and adolescents published around the world as well as noteworthy books in English about Latinos.?

Colleagues,
Are there any lists of children's books written originally in Spanish that you would recommend for K-6 grades? Any lists I'm finding in LLSTA are from 2009 or older. I'm not looking for books translated from English to Spanish, but those books written in Spanish.

I've already looked on ALSC's website as well as Reforma's.

Thanks in advance for any tips.
Cheers,
Emily

?Hola a tod at s!

As you can read below, the registration for the Mock Pura Belpr? is open (go to the link). I want to let you know that one of the titles in the list -Echo by Pam Mu?oz Ryan- was taken off because its content doesn?t reflect the Latino experience. Attached you?ll find the list of titles and the criteria for this award.
I also want to thank Barratt Miller, whose enthusiastic dedication to this project was and is crucial.
Please, don?t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Again, the registration is free (you have to bring your own lunch ?I?ll create a list of restaurants close to the Hillsboro Public Library ? Main.)
See you in few weeks!

Subject: [Libs-Or] Frustrated by outcome based evaluation? Project Outcome
 for public libraries is a no-cost resource that may help!
Message-ID: <640435851FD7CB4AB3C4BE0D1963BA245EFCD095@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local>

If you answer "yes" to any of the following questions, then Project Outcome might be right for your public library!

*         Do you have anxiety about conducting a proper outcome based evaluation?

*         Does your public library need to do outcome based evaluation, but you don't have the time or resources to do it from scratch?

*         Are you struggling to find a good survey tool to gather information about your programs for outcome based evaluation reports?

*         Are you unsure how to effectively analyze and present the results of an outcome based evaluation?

*         Are you considering paying to subscribe to Impact Survey?

Project Outcome is free for public libraries until at least 2017 (maybe longer!) and also gives public libraries free access to Impact Survey.

Learn more: https://www.projectoutcome.org/

Interested in trying Project Outcome? Talk with your library director about it. All public library directors should have received this email on 11/5/2015.


If you want more information about how Project Outcome aligns with what's going on in the Oregon public library community, read on! If not, skip the rest of this email.

Project Outcome evaluates four desired outcomes across seven types of library services and programs. The four outcomes evaluated are patrons' changes in 1) knowledge, 2) skills, 3) behavior, and 4) attitude as a result of using library services. The seven library service areas these four outcomes are evaluated in are:

*         Civic/community engagement

*         Digital inclusion

*         Early childhood literacy

*         Economic development

*         Education and lifelong learning

*         Job skills

*         Summer reading (all ages!)

As an Oregon public library, you might use Project Outcome to conduct outcome based evaluations associated with:

*         Edge Initiative (digital inclusion, education and lifelong learning, job skills)

*         Ready to Read grant (early childhood literacy, summer reading)

*         Statewide databases (education and lifelong learning, job skills)

Subject: [Libs-Or] when to call 911 for medical intervention when patron
	says no
Message-ID: <79182DEA2A9EBD459F20AD5CB90FEAA5438B59F6FB@Exchange>

Hi everyone:
Yesterday we had a situation in which a person, with a scary but according to her non-life-threatening medical condition, had what appeared to be a seizure; however, she requested that we not call an ambulance. That request went out the window when she appeared to be having trouble breathing. But it raised the very real question-when do you call for medical assistance against a patron's wishes?

Obviously, we all have to make judgement calls based on the information at hand. In addition to the person with the medical need, we have to think about the rest of the library. But, in your experience do you have any wisdom that helps quide you when this comes up? I believe all medical personnel would say call them immediately; what are your thoughts as a library employee charged with the safety of all patrons?

Thanks for your collective wisdom and feedback. Have a great weekend!

We call 911 and our fire/ems come and they make the assessment and deal with the person if they refuse transport.    Obviously, when it is something minor we try to use good judgement (would we call if it was our child with the injury), but we've been faced with those situations too.

Because we have a combined fire/ems there is no charge to the patron unless they are transported so we aren't forcing a $1,000 bill on someone who regularly has medical issues that are alarming to us, but a normal everyday occurrence for them.

We also tell the patron that we are calling because we need to for our policies and that there is no charge to have the fire/ems come over.  That usually makes them ok with it.

As Leah said, there is no charge for people to be evaluated by fire/ems,
but the ambulance ride is upwards of $1000. When a friend who was staying
with me after surgery became nearly incoherent, the responders said she
needed to be taken by ambulance. Thankfully, they checked their computer
and found that she had the $50 per year policy which paid for the
ambulance, which was a huge relief to me. So, if you're in that position,
but sure to have the responders check for that.

Greetings!
We are going to shoot for one more Coffee Connection for managers and directors from across the metro region (or visiting or whoever can get here) for 2015. It is scheduled for Friday, Dec 18th, from 8-10 a.m., location tbd. (any suggestions?). Get it on your calendar now-I know those pre-holiday dates are filling in quickly! I'll send out another email about a week ahead of time with the location and a reminder.

Hope you are all doing well as we enter into that 'early darkness/the rain is back/here come the holidays fast' season. Take care of yourselves!

Best, Mo

We recently had a staff first aid/CPR training, and what we were told is that if the patron is refusing medical intervention but there are concerns that it might be life-threatening, we should call 911 anyway and let them know that the individual is refusing transport, but we've observed x, y, and z and think they need medical intervention.

We, too, have been told to call 911 regardless of whether the patron wants us to if there's reason to believe it might be needed - otherwise, we could be held liable if the patron did, in fact, need medical help.  They can tell the EMT's to take a hike, but there will be a record of that if needed in the future.

Hi everyone:
Yesterday we had a situation in which a person, with a scary but according to her non-life-threatening medical condition, had what appeared to be a seizure; however, she requested that we not call an ambulance. That request went out the window when she appeared to be having trouble breathing. But it raised the very real question-when do you call for medical assistance against a patron's wishes?

Obviously, we all have to make judgement calls based on the information at hand. In addition to the person with the medical need, we have to think about the rest of the library. But, in your experience do you have any wisdom that helps quide you when this comes up? I believe all medical personnel would say call them immediately; what are your thoughts as a library employee charged with the safety of all patrons?

Thanks for your collective wisdom and feedback. Have a great weekend!

If you happen to be driving down highway 99 between Corvallis and Eugene, be sure to stop in to the Monroe Community Library (a branch of the Corvallis Benton County Library). They have won an award for the architecture and here is a nice article about the library and the architect.

Astoria's instruction is to call 911 regardless.  There are liability issues that might apply to the city.  The ambulance carries legal forms that indicate the person refused assistance and Medix personnel have the medical training to document the situation accurately.

Once staff followed procedure and called "regardless" when a woman suddenly turned white in the face and began to faint.  Later, we learned it had been a sudden, life threatening situation - the staff, who may have been uncomfortable making the call, literally saved her life.

(I would also add that my spouse is a trained EMT.  He tells me they want the call because they never truly know what is happening, like a heart attack perhaps, until they assess the patient.  He also advises me to keep an eye on bathrooms and to be generally aware if someone has been in one awhile - people who feel ill can seek them out for privacy.)

Pre-Screening Questionnaire for Intersectionality at the Reference Desk
Interviews

The questionnaire linked below is part of a research study aimed at
examining personal identity and intersectionality at the reference desk. We
are looking to recruit self-identified women of color librarians to
interview about their experiences working with the public in libraries. We
hope to learn about and understand how one?s personal identity can shape
how they experience workplace interactions, and how they approach their
work in public services.

If you are interested in being interviewed, please complete this online
questionnaire (estimated <10 minutes to complete). We will follow up with
selected participants to be interviewed via email no later than December
18, 2015.  Findings will be reported in The Feminist Reference Desk, edited
by Maria Accardi; with potential for other future publications.

Pre-screening questions will be collected online through the survey tool
Qualtrics. To protect the confidentiality of survey respondents the
collection of IP addresses will be disabled in the survey results.
Qualtrics is a secure survey tool.  The answers provided will only be used
for recruitment purposes.  All data will be destroyed after completion of
the study.

Participation is voluntary and participants are free to withdraw at any
time, or may choose to only answer specific questions.

To complete this questionnaire you must be 18 years or older.

This research has been reviewed and approved by the Institutional Review
Board of the University of Illinois, Chicago (UIC), which is a committee
that works to protect your rights and welfare. If you have questions or
concerns about your rights as a research subject you may contact,
anonymously if you wish, the Institutional Review Board at (866) 789-6215
or uicirb at uic.edu.

Responses will be collected through December 15, 2015.

By clicking on the link below to proceed to the questionnaire, you
acknowledge that you understand the nature of this research and consent to
participate, and you do not feel that more than minimal risk, if any, is
involved.

Message-ID: <9594f6a14c2043fabca92a51a788a760@MAIL.corban.edu>

Hello Everyone,

We (myself and Elsa Loftis @ Oregon College of Art and Craft) are putting together a panel of presenters for the OLA conference this upcoming spring (April 21st and 22nd) in Bend, Oregon.  We are looking for a couple additional panelists to present with us.

Panelists will be presenting a 15-minute snapshot of how information literacy is taught at their institution beyond (or perhaps instead of) the traditional one-shot.  If you teach information literacy but the majority of times do not find yourself in a physical classroom for a one-shot session, this may be a venue for you to share what you do, how it works, and the rewards and/or challenges you face.

If this context sounds familiar and you would like to share your experience, or have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Thank you,

The following new title is available for interlibrary loan from the Oregon State Library.

[https://www.alastore.ala.org/images/CoyleFRBR_300.jpg]
Coyle, Karen. FRBR, Before and After: A Look at Our Bibliographic Models. ALA Editions, 2016. ISBN: 978-0-8389-1345-1


Description
Coyle persuasively argues that to more effectively connect library users with books, movies, music, computer games, and other resources, library data needs to move beyond FRBR towards a more integrative approach to bibliographic models. But doing so requires fundamental changes in the approach to library data. She points the way ahead for catalogers and metadata specialists, providing clear explanations and analysis.
Table of Contents
A detailed table of contents is available on the LIS Collection blog: http://osl-lis.blogspot.com/2015/11/frbr-before-and-after-look-at-our.html

If you would like to request this or other materials from the Oregon State Library please use your library's established interlibrary loan process (e.g. OCLC or ALA request form).  Otherwise, send your full name, the name of your library, complete title information, shipping address, and a phone number to the document delivery department at library.request at state.or.us<mailto:library.request at state.or.us> or (fax) 503-588-7119. Items will be checked out to your library, not to you personally, for 4 weeks (print materials) or 2 weeks (videos). Materials will be delivered via mail or Orbis Cascade Alliance Courier, and you may return them the same way. Normally a single copy is purchased and is loaned on a first-come-first-serve basis. You may be put on a hold list for several weeks.

Most library staff are able to use their library's interlibrary loan service to borrow professional development material. However, if you do not have access to these services or are not currently affiliated with a library, please contact me<mailto:arlene.weible at state.or.us> to discuss alternative options for borrowing the material.

Be sure to check out our Library and Information Science (LIS) blog<http://osl-lis.blogspot.com/> to discover the most recent additions to our LIS collection and search our catalog<https://ccrls.ent.sirsi.net/client/en_US/oslpublic/> for our complete holdings. The library science collection is meant to support the whole Oregon library community. Library Support and Development Services welcomes your suggestions for acquisitions - see the blog for an input form or email us!

This collection is supported in whole by the Institute of Museum and Library Services through the Library Services and Technology Act, administered by the Oregon State Library.

Subject: [Libs-Or] Tuesday Topics: Intellectual Freedom & Privacy
	Implications of Ebook Services
Message-ID: <CAGY8q44P=kCr14z3X8abmHW_=4W6jxtmhALDPxQeXx8LasZzBg@mail.gmail.com>

Welcome to Tuesday Topics for 2015-2016.  Tuesday Topics is a monthly
series (September- November and January- June) covering topics with
intellectual freedom implications for libraries of all types.  Each message
is prepared by a member of OLA?s Intellectual Freedom Committee.
  Questions can be directed to the IF Committee member who sent the message
or to one of the co-chairs of the IFC
<http://www.olaweb.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=523:intellectual-freedom-about-us&catid=20:site-content>.


Is your eBook watching you?

The answer is probably ?yes?. Once upon a time, stores and libraries only
collected data about the titles of physical books you bought or borrowed, and
most libraries prided themselves on not keeping a permanent record of that
data.

Now, with the growing popularity of eBooks, companies can collect much more
detailed information on your reading habits -- not only what you buy and
borrow, but also what pages you linger on, what sentences you highlight,
and which books people finish reading most often
<http://www.nybooks.com/blogs/nyrblog/2015/jan/13/reading-whos-watching/>.
Amazon has started paying some authors not according to how many copies of
their books are sold, but how many pages
<http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2015/06/amazon-publishing-authors-payment-writing/396269/>
readers actually peruse. Adobe got into trouble for spying on readers
<http://the-digital-reader.com/2014/10/06/adobe-spying-users-collecting-data-ebook-libraries/>in
2014, though the company now collects less data
<http://www.pcworld.com/article/2842392/adobes-ereader-software-collects-less-data-now-eff-says.html>
.

Concerns for Libraries

As libraries add more access to eBooks, there are new issues to consider
related to intellectual freedom and privacy. For example:

   -

   What are the privacy policies for your eBook vendors -- including
   Amazon, if patrons borrow Kindle books through a vendor like Overdrive?
   -

   If you lend out devices -- Nooks, Kindles, etc. -- is there any
   information collected by these devices or by the companies that sell them?
   -

   Does your library restrict checkout of eBooks by grade level/age (more
   common for school libraries)?
   -

   For school librarians buying ebooks from Follett, ABDO, Mackin, Gale,
   and other companies that host the books students are accessing, what are
   those companies? privacy policies?


Take action

This is a good time to review your own privacy policies and the policies of
the vendors you use for eBooks. Ask yourself:


   -

   What information does your library circulation system collect about
   eBook browsing, borrowing, and reading habits?
   -

   Do users have any control over their data -- for example, can they opt
   out of storing their circulation history, including lists of eBooks they?ve
   checked out?
   -

   Do vendor policies line up with your library privacy policy? Could your
   vendors do a better job of safeguarding or deleting user data? If so, how
   can libraries alert them to potential issues or pressure them to improve?
   -

   If your library restricts access to eBook titles based on age or grade
   level, or other criteria, take a hard look at these policies to determine
   whether the are appropriate and necessary.


Alert your users. Your eBook readers may have no idea what information is
collected about them and their reading habits. School and academic
librarians can include a discussion about privacy and data collection while
working with classes, and public libraries can include this information in
training sessions on how to use library eBooks.

   Lending and Digital Content Vendors
   <http://www.ala.org/advocacy/library-privacy-guidelines-e-book-lending-and-digital-content-vendors>
   -

   The Electronic Frontier Foundation created this chart
   <https://www.eff.org/pages/reader-privacy-chart-2012> in 2012 showing
   how vendors and eReaders collect and use data.Although dated, the chart
   gives a sense of how different e-readers and eBook platforms handle privacy
   issues.

Message-ID: <CAEaFd0aN6vEfe5+6ANBLaC1eDP=RA+9GrA426r1Z3eVViaqjbw@mail.gmail.com>

In April at the OLA conference we will be discussing the book *Terrorist's
Son: A Story of Choice* by Zak Ebrahim. I was fortunate enough to attend
the ALEX awards program at the ALA conference last summer. Mr. Ebrahim
spoke movingly about growing up a poor Muslim with a single mother,whose
family had to move repeatedly because of who his father was. He was taught
to hate, yet became a peace activist. His book is a quick read with his
profoundly affecting story.

The book began as a TED talk and became the first book of the new imprint
of Simon and Schuster.

Here is his TED talk

Message-ID: <CAFyP9ejCPXgpbWwWN5EL3ZT-4u9f+5hR7fCrws0SYT2yydfEdg@mail.gmail.com>

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 if you?re on a 9 month contract) and contact can take place
in-person or over phone, email, or web conferencing.


If you are an OLA member currently working in a library, are early in your
library career (<5 years), and are looking for support related to your
work, please consider applying to be paired up with a mentor
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1jkPqp3B4mzfI8HRhW7-jYur9MvjVh10xhdJwpoTHBeI/viewform?usp=send_form>
.



If you are an OLA member with five or more years of experience in
libraries, consider sharing your experience and wisdom by becoming a mentor
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1-_9Y8mdtUR0WUDz7dM4sfoaYPo1Ba0pV_p-jOFikCmI/viewform>.
Being a mentor is one of the easiest and most rewarding things you can do
to support our profession.

For more details on the mentoring program and eligibility criteria for
mentors and mentees, visit http://www.olaweb.org/mentor-program. We also
have information on guidelines and best practices for the mentoring
relationship <http://www.olaweb.org/mentoring-guidelines>.

Subject: [Heritage] Hundreds of Oregon historical studies, books available in online library

Oregonians and other historians are now able to harvest information about hundreds of historical books and studies in an online History and Archaeology Library created by the Oregon Heritage division of the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department.

"During the past five decades, we have received hundreds of studies and reports about historic and pre-historic places in Oregon," said Chrissy Curran, manager of Oregon Heritage and the deputy state historic preservation officer. "We've worked so that the public can now have easy access to these documents as well as the titles of other books that have been published since the 1950s."

Organized by county, the online History and Archaeology Library<http://www.oregon.gov/oprd/HCD/RESRCH/pages/histarch.aspx> also includes links to lists of historic cemeteries and National Register sites in the counties. There are also links to the State Archives location guides to government records in each county.

"We have also included links to digital projects that we have supported with our grant programs," said Kyle Jansson, coordinator of the Oregon Heritage Commission. "For example, we link to the historic photos digitized in a joint project of the Albany Regional Museum and the Albany Public Library. Another link is to historic land survey maps digitized by Baker County."

The History and Archaeology Library also includes listings and links of other regional and statewide resources related to history and archaeology, and history research guides. Oregon Heritage will continue to add studies and book listings to the online library as they are received.

"We want researchers who know about other work to let us know of its existence," said Ian Johnson, manager of the State Historic Preservation Office. "We want researchers to think of this as the first place to go when they are gathering information."

The Oregon Heritage division includes the State Historic Preservation Office, the Oregon Commission on Historic Cemeteries, the Oregon Heritage Commission, and the Oregon Main Street Program. Its website is www.oregonheritage.org<http://www.oregonheritage.org>

Subject: Lib of Congress Online Conf on 10/27 & 10/28 PM => Unlocking the Power of Primary Sources

The first afternoon will start with a keynote speaker. On Tuesday there are three session blocks, and on Wednesday there are four. Each 50-minute session block will have two options.

The city of Lebanon gives us a choice of using a city-issued cell phone or a stipend - I opted for the city phone, so I'm not sure how much the stipend is currently.

The following new title is available for interlibrary loan from the Oregon State Library.


[http://www.alastore.ala.org/images/Heckman-Sierra_300.jpg]

Heckman, Lucy. The ALA Guide to Information Sources in Insurance, Risk Management, and Actuarial Science. ALA Editions, 2016. ISBN: 978-0-8389-1275-1


Description
This comprehensive guide helps to locate and use information resources about the insurance industry. Each chapter contains an annotated list of specific print and digital sources, plus explanations on how to make best use of sometimes-forbidding technical materials.

Table of Contents
A detailed table of contents is available on the LIS Collection blog: http://osl-lis.blogspot.com/2015/11/ala-guide-to-information-sources-in.html

If you would like to request this or other materials from the Oregon State Library please use your library's established interlibrary loan process (e.g. OCLC or ALA request form).  Otherwise, send your full name, the name of your library, complete title information, shipping address, and a phone number to the document delivery department at library.request at state.or.us<mailto:library.request at state.or.us> or (fax) 503-588-7119. Items will be checked out to your library, not to you personally, for 4 weeks (print materials) or 2 weeks (videos). Materials will be delivered via mail or Orbis Cascade Alliance Courier, and you may return them the same way. Normally a single copy is purchased and is loaned on a first-come-first-serve basis. You may be put on a hold list for several weeks.

Most library staff are able to use their library's interlibrary loan service to borrow professional development material. However, if you do not have access to these services or are not currently affiliated with a library, please contact me<mailto:arlene.weible at state.or.us> to discuss alternative options for borrowing the material.

Be sure to check out our Library and Information Science (LIS) blog<http://osl-lis.blogspot.com/> to discover the most recent additions to our LIS collection and search our catalog<https://ccrls.ent.sirsi.net/client/en_US/oslpublic/> for our complete holdings. The library science collection is meant to support the whole Oregon library community.

Greetings!

Below are some great resources from WebJunction including two upcoming free webinars ? take a moment to register or read up on 3D printing or Project J.O.B!

Articles from WebJunction

?         3D printing in libraries<http://www.webjunction.org/news/webjunction/3D_Printer_Revolution.html>: 3D printing conjures notions of the Star Trek replicator?a computerized machine that can turn a verbal command into 3-dimensional objects, including food items. The evolution of 3D printers is advancing rapidly toward and even beyond that sci-fi vision. This is transformative technology, and libraries are positioned to be a hub of the transformation.


?         The Social Library<http://www.webjunction.org/news/webjunction/the-social-library-volume-thirtynine.html> explores great ideas and programming efforts by public libraries. This week?s issue includes libraries supporting new American citizens and a ?My Family Reads? photo contest. Check out these inspiring libraries!


?         Project J.O.B. aligns health and economic opportunity<http://www.webjunction.org/news/webjunction/project-job-aligns-health-and-economic-opportunity-for-community.html> at the Thorson Memorial Library (MN). Learn about how they partnered with local agencies to build a strong program.

Family Literacy at a Food Pantry
Thursday, December 3, 2015 ? 3 pm Eastern / 12 pm Pacific ? 60 min
Registration: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/family-literacy-at-a-food-pantry.html

The Cazenovia Public Library<http://www.cazenoviapubliclibrary.org/> is connecting the dots between early literacy, the local food pantry and family well-being, and they?re doing it all on a small budget. Starting with an Early Literacy project at the CazCares food pantry, library outreach coordinators began to build more in-depth relationships with the food pantry?s clients. Their interactions led to unexpected positive outcomes:
?         adults obtaining their high school equivalency through the library tutoring program;
?         school age children participating in an interactive summer learning program and book club;
?         and the food pantry becoming the site for ESL classes, Dolly Parton Imagination Library sign ups and health literacy initiatives.

Find out how this innovative library team supplemented their small budget with donations and volunteers to make Family Literacy work for the community.

Presented by: Betsy Kennedy, Director, Cazenovia Public Library

This is an encore presentation from the 2015 Association for Rural & Small Libraries<http://arsl.info/> conference.

Subject: [alacro-l] Update on Elementary Secondary Education Act (ESEA)
Reauthorization
To: "alacro-l at lists.ala.org" <alacro-l at lists.ala.org>


After months of intense behind the scenes work in Congress, it looks like
things are finally coming to a head with the reauthorization of the
Elementary Secondary Education Act (ESEA). As you may have read in past
posts
<http://www.districtdispatch.org/2015/07/victory-for-school-libraries-as-senate-passes-education-bill/>,
school libraries fared extremely well in S.1177, the Every Child Achieves
Act, but not so well in H.R.5, the House?s Student Success Act. As discussed
on September 1st
<http://www.districtdispatch.org/2015/09/momentum-we-have-it/>, the House
and Senate had work to do to meld their two, quite different bills.

This week the House and Senate appointed conferees to do just that. The
resulting ?Conference Committee? began meeting yesterday to hammer out the
final version of a unified bill (called a ?Conference Report?) that both
chambers of Congress must then consider in an up or down vote, no
amendments permitted. We are expecting that final Conference Report to be
officially ?filed? on November 30th and for the House to vote on it just
two days later, on December 2nd, with a Senate vote to follow close behind.

As soon as [the Washington Office] get a look at the language in the
Conference Report, we will be sending out an alert asking you to contact
your Representative in the House, so please stay tuned.

This is a momentous time for libraries (especially school libraries) and
education policy and ? whether we are supporting or opposing the ESEA
Conference Report ? we will need you to contact your Congressperson right
away.

Subject: [Libs-Or] Drawing the line between reference and advice
Message-ID: <56532AE202000024000427F0@ncs-do.lincolncity.org>

I'm wondering if anyone has any good resources for staff training, or even good rules of thumb, for drawing a line between reference and advice. For example, I've recently had some staff members get drawn into proofreading papers, giving advice on resume wording, offering to read and critique cover letters, and items of that nature. I feel that one-on-one resume advice or proofreading/critiquing a paper crosses a line, much like giving medical advice or tax advice, but I'm finding it a bit hard to articulate to staff, other than to remind them that our job is to offer resources so that people can learn to do things themselves. Thoughts? Advice?

Hi Kristen,

What an interesting question! I'm not sure if you've found some helpful information yet.

I found that Rutgers Reference and Information Service page<http://www.libraries.rutgers.edu/public_service_policies/pspm_02_reference_information_service> includes "Service Definitions" that describe what reference service is at their institution and their "Service Limitations" have some good ways of differentiating between reference service and not-reference service, specifically:

*         "Legal, Medical, or Pharmaceutical Advice - The Libraries cannot provide legal, medical, or pharmaceutical advice in response to reference queries. Specific information may be read from manuals, but in most circumstances users will be referred to sources of information from which to draw conclusions.

*         Commercial Products and/or Services - The Libraries will not provide recommendations on commercial products and/or services in response to queries but will refer users to sources of information on these topics."

Similarly, Aurora Public Library provides a Reference Services Policy<http://www.aurorapubliclibrary.org/about-the-library/policies/reference-services-policy/> that states:

*         Staff will offer their best professional opinion when providing reader's advisory service or recommending the best source to answer a question. Staff will not give opinions, advice, or interpretation of information beyond the scope of their expertise and training in library reference work.

I also think the Answerland guidelines for Crisis Calls<https://www.answerland.org/help/crisis-calls> may be helpful, specifically these two points:

*         "If the question is personal, refer the patron to an appropriate hotline. As librarians, we don't have the necessary training to assist a patron in crisis, but we can find resources that will help. Links for hotline resources are listed below.

*         Strike a balance between professional behavior and supportive behavior. If the patron is in trouble, we want to be friendly, supportive, and approachable, as with all of our patrons. However, remain professional and give resources rather than advice."

Maybe you could develop your own Reference Service Policy for your library, then develop a training where your staff are given scenarios and have to decide whether or not what the patron is asking falls within the scope of your reference service, as identified by the policy.

Hope this helps!

I'm wondering if anyone has any good resources for staff training, or even good rules of thumb, for drawing a line between reference and advice. For example, I've recently had some staff members get drawn into proofreading papers, giving advice on resume wording, offering to read and critique cover letters, and items of that nature. I feel that one-on-one resume advice or proofreading/critiquing a paper crosses a line, much like giving medical advice or tax advice, but I'm finding it a bit hard to articulate to staff, other than to remind them that our job is to offer resources so that people can learn to do things themselves. Thoughts? Advice?

Thea, this is super helpful! I don't know why it didn't occur to me that
others would cover this in their Reference Services policies. I think
your idea to develop a policy and then have staff practice making
judgment calls is a great idea.

Hi Kristen,
 
What an interesting question! I?m not sure if you?ve found some helpful
information yet. 
 
I found that Rutgers Reference and Information Service page
(
http://www.libraries.rutgers.edu/public_service_policies/pspm_02_reference_information_service)
 includes ?Service Definitions? that describe what reference service is
at their institution and their ?Service Limitations? have some good ways
of differentiating between reference service and not-reference service,
specifically:
?		 ?Legal, Medical, or Pharmaceutical Advice - The
Libraries cannot provide legal, medical, or pharmaceutical advice in
response to reference queries. Specific information may be read from
manuals, but in most circumstances users will be referred to sources of
information from which to draw conclusions.
?		 Commercial Products and/or Services - The Libraries
will not provide recommendations on commercial products and/or services
in response to queries but will refer users to sources of information on
these topics.?
 
Similarly, Aurora Public Library provides a Reference Services Policy
(
http://www.aurorapubliclibrary.org/about-the-library/policies/reference-services-policy/)
 that states:
?		 Staff will offer their best professional opinion when
providing reader?s advisory service or recommending the best source to
answer a question. Staff will not give opinions, advice, or
interpretation of information beyond the scope of their expertise and
training in library reference work.
 
I also think the Answerland guidelines for Crisis Calls
( https://www.answerland.org/help/crisis-calls)  may be helpful,
specifically these two points:
?		 ?If the question is personal, refer the patron to an
appropriate hotline. As librarians, we don?t have the necessary training
to assist a patron in crisis, but we can find resources that will help.
Links for hotline resources are listed below.
?		 Strike a balance between professional behavior and
supportive behavior. If the patron is in trouble, we want to be
friendly, supportive, and approachable, as with all of our patrons.
However, remain professional and give resources rather than advice.?
 
Maybe you could develop your own Reference Service Policy for your
library, then develop a training where your staff are given scenarios
and have to decide whether or not what the patron is asking falls within
the scope of your reference service, as identified by the policy.
 
Hope this helps!

One convincing argument for both your staff and patrons might be that there
are paid proofreading and resume writing services. Your staff can refer
patrons to companies/individuals that provide them.

NCES Releases New Data on Postsecondary Enrollment, Student Financial Aid, and Employees at Postsecondary Institutions

[ipeds logo]The percent of revenues received from tuition and fees varies greatly depending on the type of institution. In fiscal year 2014, public 4-year institutions and administrative offices received about 20 percent of their revenues from tuition and fees, compared with just over 29 percent at private nonprofit entities and nearly 91 percent at private for-profit entities, according to new data released by the National Center for Education Statistics. Enrollment and Employees in Postsecondary Institutions, Fall 2014; and Financial Statistics and Academic Libraries, Fiscal Year 2014 presents findings from the spring 2015 data collection of the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) from the National Center for Education Statistics within the Institute of Education Sciences.

Other findings include:

* In fall 2014, Title IV institutions enrolled approximately 17.7 million undergraduate and about 2.9 million graduate students. Of the approximately 17.7 million undergraduates, about 60 percent were enrolled in 4-year institutions, nearly 39 percent in 2-year institutions, and nearly 2 percent in less-than-2-year institutions.

* In fiscal year 2014, about 29 percent of expenses at public 4-year entities were for instruction, compared with approximately 43 percent at public 2-year entities and nearly 51 percent at public less-than-2-year entities

* Title IV institutions and administrative offices reported employing approximately 4.1 million individuals in fall 2014. Of the 4.1 million individuals, about 2.5 million were employed full-time and about 1.6 million were employed part-time.

From the email below:

So here is the pitch: We want to gather library folks who are willing to write a short testimonial about why they feel school libraries are important and need to be supported. We are really looking for a wide variety of voices. Not just school/youth librarians, but academic, public, corporate, etc. Our approach is to show that all librarians recognize the importance of school libraries and all libraries are worth fighting for. We aren't looking for anything fancy, just a few lines about your experience with school libraries.

Good morning everyone and Happy Holidays!
Following is a message from Turner Masland (PSU Library) and the ALA Legislative committee. The ALA is asking for support concerning the ESEA (Elementary and Secondary Education Act) reauthorization bill to add language into the bill to require school librarians in school districts. A worthwhile inclusion.
There are instructions in Turner"s email for a response.
I might add that congressional representatives really take note of individual emails or phones calls directly to their offices - especially rural districts.

Subject: ESEA call for authors, call to action
To: Turner Masland <masland at pdx.edu<mailto:masland at pdx.edu>>

Hi, all. I'm sending along to you a "call for authors" of sorts.Working with John Chrastka of EveryLibrary and Christian Zabriskie of Urban Libraries Unite, we are trying to gather support for School Librarians with the new ESEA legislation that is coming down the pike in the next two weeks.

ESEA reauthorization is in Conference Committee now. The Committee is set to report out on Monday 11/30 and the House will take up the final Bill with an 'up or down' vote as early as 12/2. This is a ridiculous turn around, so we are working on building support and raising awareness of what is going down. As I am sure you all know, school libraries have been royally screwed since the passing of No Child Left Behind, since they were left out of that bill. We want to try and ensure that doesn't happen again.

So here is the pitch: We want to gather library folks who are willing to write a short testimonial about why they feel school libraries are important and need to be supported. We are really looking for a wide variety of voices. Not just school/youth librarians, but academic, public, corporate, etc. Our approach is to show that all librarians recognize the importance of school libraries and all libraries are worth fighting for. We aren't looking for anything fancy, just a few lines about your experience with school libraries.

Here is the link to submit testimonials: http://goo.gl/forms/YHnAd972wq

If you are willing to submit, we ask that you do so by November 28th. ULU is going to publish them, and our goal is to have them public by the 30, the same day we will here from the Committee. Additionally, if you know of some folks who you think would be willing to contribute to this project, please feel free to forward this email on. Finally, I hope you all would be willing to call your elected representatives between the 30th and the 2nd. The turnaround time will be quick, leaving us little time for petitions or emails. It's going to take phone calls.

Let me know if you have any questions or concerns. And I'm really thankful for your consideration.

Turner

By Karen Pundsack, November 23, 2015
Public Libraries Online: A publication of ALA's Public Library Association

This short article briefly explains why public libraries are moving towards outcome based evaluation (OBE) and links to four resources that may help libraries implement OBE. One of the resources is Impact Survey<https://impactsurvey.org/> which is a subscription fee-based resource, please remember that access to Impact Survey is free until 2017 through Project Outcome<https://www.projectoutcome.org/>. Free is a good price to try something out for a year!

	Support 2016
Message-ID: <AC16E19A2FF8C24E9B9EFDA16F03A85C5A3B1F17@mercury1.co.douglas.or.us>

Press Release from the Ford Family Foundation & email from the Oregon Community Foundation:

A bridge to the ballot
Douglas County Library System receives short-term funding from
The Ford Family Foundation, The Oregon Community Foundation, others

In a highly unusual move, The Ford Family Foundation has awarded the Douglas County Library System a $300,000 time-limited grant to support operating costs. The grant will serve as a critical bridge to a public vote in 2016 that will decide the future of the library system. Since 2007, Douglas County funding for the library has been cut by more than half. By 2019, no Douglas County general funds will be allotted to the library.

"The grant is a one-time exception for the Foundation," said Anne Kubisch, president of The Ford Family Foundation. "We do not fund operating costs of a publically funded system due to a decrease in public funds. However, our Board of Directors believes that losing the Douglas County Library will have a negative economic impact on the area. Like good schools, public libraries are an incentive for businesses and families to locate in Douglas County."

The Ford Family Foundation grant is designed to help keep the main and branch libraries open at current levels until next November when voters will decide on a library tax district.

"This is only a bridge to the ballot in 2016," Kubisch emphasized. "After that, the library's fate will be decided by Douglas County voters."

Other funders are also stepping up to help support operating and materials costs until the 2016 ballot. They include: The Cow Creek Foundation, and The Oregon Community Foundation (OCF) including the Lilja Family Fund, the Ben Serafin Fund, the Crane Creek Family Fund and the Whipple Foundation Fund.

***
>From Joan Kearns of the Oregon Community Foundation:

Good Afternoon!   I am pleased to share that the OCF board of directors approved several grants yesterday in support of the Douglas County Library System for the Library Tax District Bridge Funding Project.   They are as stated below:

               $ 50,000              Crane Creek Family Fund
               $ 25,000              Whipple Foundation Fund (with an additional $25,000 to be considered in early 2016)

$175,000             Total awarded now with an additional $25,000 under consideration.

Award letters and checks (likely to arrive under separate envelopes) should arrive by the end of November.  I am happy to visit by phone in the next week or two if you have any questions or concerns.  I would welcome the opportunity to visit with you!

Congratulations!

We applied for these grants with the intent to provide support to the library system as Douglas County significantly cuts the library budget (25% this fiscal year and an expected 25% cut next). These monies are largely geared towards augmenting operations. We will be putting these dollars towards staffing and open hours in the branches and increases in staffing at Roseburg. These changes will be for calendar year 2016. We anticipate the PAC "Save Our Libraries" put a tax district on the ballot in Nov. 2016

    About Charlie Albright

     
      
    


Hailed as "among the most gifted musicians of his
generation" by the Washington Post, pianist Charlie Albright has been praised
for his "jaw-dropping technique and virtuosity meshed with a distinctive
musicality" by The New York Times. Albright is a recipient of multiple awards: the prestigious 2014 Avery
Fisher Career Grant, 2010 Gilmore Young Artist Award, winner in the 2009 Young
Concert Artists International Auditions, and recipient of the 2013 Arthur W.
Foote Award. He appeared
as soloist with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, in six-week and four-week
Midwest Concert Tours, in a recital debut at the Vancouver Recital Society, and
in recitals in Boston, where he completed his three-recital series of
all-Schubert repertoire at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.


Born in Centralia, Washington, Mr. Albright began piano
lessons at the age of three. He has studied with Nancy Adsit and has
participated in master classes with Richard Goode, Leif Ove Andsnes, and Abbey
Simon. Mr. Albright earned an Associate of Science degree at Centralia College
while he was still in high school, and was the first classical pianist accepted
to the Harvard College/New England Conservatory Joint program, completing his
Bachelor's degree as a Pre-Med and Economics major at Harvard in 2011 and a
Master of Music degree in Piano Performance at the New England Conservatory in
2012 with Wha-Kyung Byun. He graduated with the prestigious Artist Diploma
(A.D.) from The Juilliard School, working with Yoheved Kaplinsky. Mr. Albright
is a Steinway Artist and is represented by Bill Capone of the Arts Management
Group.

Good on your staff for doing what they can to help people!  I don't understand how a profession that says it will help people, and requires (usually) a master's degree to get an entry level job can then turn around and say "Don't proof-read papers for people who don't have your level of education!  Don't help someone get a job by critiquing their resume!  Don't give simple tax advice to someone who just needs a 1040-EZ!  You don't have the education.
If you don't have the education to do that, you shouldn't be at a reference desk.

Ms. Brodbeck-Kenney,

I'm wondering if it would help to find ways to make your staff feel more comfortable in directing job-seeking patrons to the appropriate library and community resources for job-seekers. Sometimes it can be hard to know what to say when a patron is wheedling: "I just need you to check my spelling. It will only take? you a minute."? 
Not knowing your staff, I don't know the best approach for them. Here's a few suggestions:
- Remind staff of the library's role to encourage and support life-long learning, including helping locate resources to develop and grow job-seeking skills. 

- Remind staff: While it may seem simple to "just proof" a cover letter, it's not. Providing resources for employment, medical, tax or legal questions can have a huge impact on a patron's life. It's important to empower patrons with resources to make their own decisions about these important matters. 

- Increase staff's knowledge of the free library and community resources available for job seekers. Ask staff to explore them as they would any other database and then start suggesting these resources to job seekers. It's a good opportunity to review resources like:   
   - Job & Career Accelerator in LearningExpress Library, especially the resume builder and the section that describes different professions, which can be used to improve vocabulary. Create a log-in for the reference desk to demo this service.
   - WorkSource Oregon?Basic Skills page?and Advanced Skills page with reading, grammar and writing    

   - GCFLearnFree.org Work and Career page 

- Develop talking points to help staff think on their feet to direct patrons to appropriate resources. Maybe brainstorm with staff different ways to refer to appropriate resources. I try to zero in on what the patron needs and focusing my referral on that need. Here's some examples:   
   - (Response to a request for proof read.) I always have to look words up to make sure I'm spelling things correctly. Let me get you a dictionary and show you how to use Microsoft Word's spelling and grammar check. The program is not perfect so definitely print it out and read it under your breath a few times, which is a great way to catch typos.    

   - If you have a few days before you need to send this out, you should stop by WorkSource and ask them to review it. They are the real experts of what companies are looking for. They also have a class on resumes and cover letters.    

   - (Response to a request for feedback on content.) I'm not familiar with that profession and the requirements of this type job. I'd hate to steer you wrong. Can I show you the federal?Occupational Outlook Handbook website where we can find great descriptions of this type of job. You can use those descriptions and the job posting to help write your own resume/cover letter. (I coach them in locating Occupational Outlook Handbook's job descriptions to find key words.)    

   - (For patrons who have more time.) Do you know about our Job & Career Accelerator (LearningExpress Library.) It has a resume builder and descriptions of numerous professions and job titles. You'll need to create a login. I can give you an overview. It's also great practice for online applications.    

   - (When a patron says, I just don't know what to write.) I have some great books on writing cover letters/writing resumes. There's a short section that asks questions that can help you brainstorm what's important to say and help you figure out the best way to say it. It also has examples of cover letters/resumes for dozens of profession. Let me get that book and show you those pages.(Show the section of the chapter, not the entire book so you don't overwhelm.    

   - We've been hearing from WorkSource and employers in the community that it's really important for job-seekers to to grow their written communication skills. There are free online tutorials that you can find on the library's website at  LearningExpress Library, at WorkSource website,?GCFLearnFree.org.?

-Ask someone at Worksource Lincoln City office to give a 15-minute presentation at a library staff meeting about their services, such as reviewing cover letters and resumes. Maybe there's an opportunity depending on your community needs for a? partnership with Worksource Oregon and the library?
- When I'm in the 600s, I try to glance at the 650s so I'm aware of what cover letter, resume, etc. books are on the shelf. (I'm big fan of the Knock 'em Dead job search books because it's easy to flip through and find things for patrons fast.) This might be a suggestion for your staff so they can feel confident in finding what patrons need quickly. ? 

- I'm spoiled at my system. we have BrainFuse's HelpNow which besides Live Homework Help seven days a week, there is a writing workshop for adults where they can upload resumes and cover letters and get feedback. I'm a teen librarian and I love, love, love this database because it helps people of all ages be more successful. It may be worth investigating if you have a heavy demand for resume proofing and helping with homework.

I hope this is helpful. 

And to honor my library system's policy: These are my opinions and not my library systems or any of the publications I freelance for. :-)? 

Best, 

Marta

One convincing argument for both your staff and patrons might be that there are paid proofreading and resume writing services. Your staff can refer patrons to companies/individuals that provide them.

Hi Kristen,?What an interesting question! I?m not sure if you?ve found some helpful information yet. ?I found that Rutgers Reference and Information Service page includes ?Service Definitions? that describe what reference service is at their institution and their ?Service Limitations? have some good ways of differentiating between reference service and not-reference service, specifically:????????? ?Legal, Medical, or Pharmaceutical Advice - The Libraries cannot provide legal, medical, or pharmaceutical advice in response to reference queries. Specific information may be read from manuals, but in most circumstances users will be referred to sources of information from which to draw conclusions.????????? Commercial Products and/or Services - The Libraries will not provide recommendations on commercial products and/or services in response to queries but will refer users to sources of information on these topics.??Similarly, Aurora Public Library provides a Reference Services Policy that states:????????? Staff will offer their best professional opinion when providing reader?s advisory service or recommending the best source to answer a question. Staff will not give opinions, advice, or interpretation of information beyond the scope of their expertise and training in library reference work.?I also think the Answerland guidelines for Crisis Calls may be helpful, specifically these two points:????????? ?If the question is personal, refer the patron to an appropriate hotline. As librarians, we don?t have the necessary training to assist a patron in crisis, but we can find resources that will help. Links for hotline resources are listed below.????????? Strike a balance between professional behavior and supportive behavior. If the patron is in trouble, we want to be friendly, supportive, and approachable, as with all of our patrons. However, remain professional and give resources rather than advice.??Maybe you could develop your own Reference Service Policy for your library, then develop a training where your staff are given scenarios and have to decide whether or not what the patron is asking falls within the scope of your reference service, as identified by the policy.?Hope this helps!?-Thea?Thea EvenstadLibrarian and Arts Commission LiaisonSpringfield Public Library225 5th StSpringfield, OR 97477541-726-2238tevenstad at springfield-or.gov????From: Libs-Or [mailto:libs-or-bounces at listsmart.osl.state.or.us] On Behalf Of Kirsten Brodbeck-Kenney

Subject: [Libs-Or] Drawing the line between reference and advice?I'm wondering if anyone has any good resources for staff training, or even good rules of thumb, for drawing a line between reference and advice. For example, I've recently had some staff members get drawn into proofreading papers, giving advice on resume wording, offering to read and critique cover letters, and items of that nature. I feel that one-on-one resume advice or proofreading/critiquing a paper crosses a line, much like giving medical advice or tax advice, but I'm finding it a bit hard to articulate to staff, other than to remind them that our job is to offer resources so that people can learn to do things themselves.

Subject:  [Libs-Or] Douglas County Library System Grants for Operations
Support 2016

Press Release from the Ford Family Foundation & email from the Oregon
Community Foundation:
 
A bridge to the ballot
Douglas County Library System receives short-term funding from
The Ford Family Foundation, The Oregon Community Foundation, others
 
In a highly unusual move, The Ford Family Foundation has awarded the Douglas
County Library System a $300,000 time-limited grant to support operating
costs. The grant will serve as a critical bridge to a public vote in 2016
that will decide the future of the library system. Since 2007, Douglas
County funding for the library has been cut by more than half. By 2019, no
Douglas County general funds will be allotted to the library.
 
"The grant is a one-time exception for the Foundation," said Anne Kubisch,
president of The Ford Family Foundation. "We do not fund operating costs of
a publically funded system due to a decrease in public funds. However, our
Board of Directors believes that losing the Douglas County Library will have
a negative economic impact on the area. Like good schools, public libraries
are an incentive for businesses and families to locate in Douglas County."
 
The Ford Family Foundation grant is designed to help keep the main and
branch libraries open at current levels until next November when voters will
decide on a library tax district.
 
"This is only a bridge to the ballot in 2016," Kubisch emphasized. "After
that, the library's fate will be decided by Douglas County voters."
 
Other funders are also stepping up to help support operating and materials
costs until the 2016 ballot. They include: The Cow Creek Foundation, and The
Oregon Community Foundation (OCF) including the Lilja Family Fund, the Ben
Serafin Fund, the Crane Creek Family Fund and the Whipple Foundation Fund.
 
***
>From Joan Kearns of the Oregon Community Foundation:
 
Good Afternoon!   I am pleased to share that the OCF board of directors
approved several grants yesterday in support of the Douglas County Library
System for the Library Tax District Bridge Funding Project.   They are as
stated below:
 
>From The Oregon Community Foundation (discretionary grant program):
Douglas County Library Foundation         $73,000            to be used only
to support the Douglas County Library System for the Library Tax District
Bridge Funding project.  Grant funds are not to be used to meet any other
request submitted to the foundation by the Douglas County Library System or
other Douglas County Library Foundation commitments to the stated project,
the ?Community Campaign? or the ?Enhancement Campaign?.
 
>From OCF advised funds:
Douglas County Library System                 for the Library Tax District
Bridge Funding project.
               $ 50,000              Crane Creek Family Fund
               $ 25,000              Whipple Foundation Fund (with an
additional $25,000 to be considered in early 2016)
                             $ 20,000              Lilja Family Fund to be
dedicated to the branches in southern Douglas County
               $   7,000               Ben Serafin Fund to be dedicated to
the Glide Branch.
 
$175,000             Total awarded now with an additional $25,000 under
consideration.
 
Award letters and checks (likely to arrive under separate envelopes) should
arrive by the end of November.  I am happy to visit by phone in the next
week or two if you have any questions or concerns.  I would welcome the
opportunity to visit with you!
                
Congratulations!
 
We applied for these grants with the intent to provide support to the
library system as Douglas County significantly cuts the library budget (25%
this fiscal year and an expected 25% cut next). These monies are largely
geared towards augmenting operations. We will be putting these dollars
towards staffing and open hours in the branches and increases in staffing at
Roseburg. These changes will be for calendar year 2016. We anticipate the
PAC ?Save Our Libraries? put a tax district on the ballot in Nov. 2016

Please send out an alert to your members.  We are very happy with the ESEA
Conference Report and want everyone to make calls supporting the bill!  The
vote should be this week and passage is not assured, so we really need
massive calls

*Action Alert:*

School libraries are in!

After years of needing reform to the Elementary and Secondary Education Act
(ESEA), we are on the cusp of getting it. The final language of the Every
Student Succeeds Act has been released and school libraries are included in
many important ways!

BUT, we?re not there yet!

The House is scheduled to vote on the Every Student Succeeds Act later this
week and passage is most definitely not guaranteed.  Please, take a moment
to take two vital actions:

1.       Contact your Representative to let them know how essential this
bill is to our children?s education and futures.

2.       Contact absolutely everyone you know and ask them to do the same
thing.

*Talking points*

?         Vote Yes on the Every Student Succeeds Act Conference Report.

?         School libraries are critical to our children?s future and the
Conference Report includes critical language to support effective school
library programs.

?         This language is historic: For the first time in half a century
Congress has underscored the importance of effective school library
programs by expressly including them in multiple parts of this watershed
reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act.

*If you are not going to call, but need a form email: *

Dear?

As you know the vote for the Every Student Succeeds Act Conference Report
is scheduled for later this week.  I would like to take this opportunity to
encourage you to vote YES!

School libraries are critical to our children?s future and the Conference
Report includes critical language to support effective school library
programs.

This language is truly historic. For the first time in half a century
Congress has underscored the importance of effective school library
programs by expressly including them in multiple parts of this watershed

Subject: [Libs-Or] Douglas County Library System Grants for Operations Support 2016

Press Release from the Ford Family Foundation & email from the Oregon Community Foundation:

A bridge to the ballot
Douglas County Library System receives short-term funding from
The Ford Family Foundation, The Oregon Community Foundation, others

In a highly unusual move, The Ford Family Foundation has awarded the Douglas County Library System a $300,000 time-limited grant to support operating costs. The grant will serve as a critical bridge to a public vote in 2016 that will decide the future of the library system. Since 2007, Douglas County funding for the library has been cut by more than half. By 2019, no Douglas County general funds will be allotted to the library.

"The grant is a one-time exception for the Foundation," said Anne Kubisch, president of The Ford Family Foundation. "We do not fund operating costs of a publically funded system due to a decrease in public funds. However, our Board of Directors believes that losing the Douglas County Library will have a negative economic impact on the area. Like good schools, public libraries are an incentive for businesses and families to locate in Douglas County."

The Ford Family Foundation grant is designed to help keep the main and branch libraries open at current levels until next November when voters will decide on a library tax district.

"This is only a bridge to the ballot in 2016," Kubisch emphasized. "After that, the library's fate will be decided by Douglas County voters."

Other funders are also stepping up to help support operating and materials costs until the 2016 ballot. They include: The Cow Creek Foundation, and The Oregon Community Foundation (OCF) including the Lilja Family Fund, the Ben Serafin Fund, the Crane Creek Family Fund and the Whipple Foundation Fund.

***
>From Joan Kearns of the Oregon Community Foundation:

Good Afternoon!   I am pleased to share that the OCF board of directors approved several grants yesterday in support of the Douglas County Library System for the Library Tax District Bridge Funding Project.   They are as stated below:

>From The Oregon Community Foundation (discretionary grant program):
Douglas County Library Foundation         $73,000            to be used only to support the Douglas County Library System for the Library Tax District Bridge Funding project.  Grant funds are not to be used to meet any other request submitted to the foundation by the Douglas County Library System or other Douglas County Library Foundation commitments to the stated project, the "Community Campaign" or the "Enhancement Campaign".

>From OCF advised funds:
Douglas County Library System                 for the Library Tax District Bridge Funding project.
               $ 50,000              Crane Creek Family Fund
               $ 25,000              Whipple Foundation Fund (with an additional $25,000 to be considered in early 2016)
                             $ 20,000              Lilja Family Fund to be dedicated to the branches in southern Douglas County
               $   7,000               Ben Serafin Fund to be dedicated to the Glide Branch.

$175,000             Total awarded now with an additional $25,000 under consideration.

Award letters and checks (likely to arrive under separate envelopes) should arrive by the end of November.  I am happy to visit by phone in the next week or two if you have any questions or concerns.  I would welcome the opportunity to visit with you!

Congratulations!

We applied for these grants with the intent to provide support to the library system as Douglas County significantly cuts the library budget (25% this fiscal year and an expected 25% cut next). These monies are largely geared towards augmenting operations. We will be putting these dollars towards staffing and open hours in the branches and increases in staffing at Roseburg. These changes will be for calendar year 2016. We anticipate the PAC "Save Our Libraries" put a tax district on the ballot in Nov. 2016

ELECTRONIC ARCHIVES WORKSHOP OFFERED IN CORVALLIS

Increasingly, archival records are created in electronic formats. As a result, archives of all types need to be responsible for the preservation of electronic records. A Society of American Archivists workshop Jan. 15 in Corvallis will review the fundamental principles of archival appraisal, appraisal policies and the unique issues that need to be addressed when appraising electronic records. Case studies will highlight the practical aspects of appraisal when dealing with electronic records.

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to develop an appraisal policy for their archives, include electronic records on records retention and disposal schedules, address technical issues (such as metadata, software dependence, etc.) that arise when appraising electronic records, and appraise electronic records for archives.

For more information and registration, visit the SAA?s workshop website<http://saa.archivists.org/events/appraisal-of-electronic-records-1650/651/>.

OREGON CENSUS DATA PICTURED BACK TO 1800s

The 2015 population estimates for Oregon were just released by Portland State University and we have now surpassed 4 million residents. 4,013,845 to be exact. PSUs Population Research Center has created a really cool new site<http://roadto4million.research.pdx.edu/> to show how we got here, with data going back to the 1800s. They detail some race/ethnicity, age, gender, place of birth and the like.
