Over the course of the last six months, curators from Digital Commonwealth, Digital Library of Georgia, Minnesota Digital Library, the Montana Memory Project, and Mountain West Digital Library researched and built these exhibitions to showcase content digitized through PLPP. Through this final phase of the project, public librarians had the opportunity to share their new content, learn exhibition curation skills, explore Omeka for future projects, and contribute to an open peer review process for exhibition drafts.

Return to top of page State Library News Gale's Business Collection now available - Have You Updated Your Links? [Gale]On August 7, Gale launched a new business periodical database called Business Collection. This new resource replaces General BusinessFile in the statewide contract. Business Collection focuses on news and periodical articles, while Gale's other business database, Business Insights: Global has additional business data, case studies and industry reports. A title list for Business Collection is available. If you haven't already updated your web site, the new URL and icons are available on the Oregon Statewide Databases Library Support Portal. Questions? Please contact Arlene Weible, 503-378-5020 2015 Annual Report on Materials Challenged in Oregon Libraries Now Available The 2015 Annual Report is now available. The report includes a table showing how many items were challenged each year since 2009, and how many of those challenges were retained, removed, or relocated. This year, the State Library received reports on challenges to 14 items from seven public libraries and one school library. Of the 14 challenges, five of the items were books, two were magazines, two were sound recordings, and five were videos. One of the challenges was initiated by an individual, one by an advocate for people with disabilities, four by parents, and eight by patrons. Thirteen of the challenged items were retained in the collection and one item was removed from the collection. The Title Index to Challenges is a compendium of all the challenges reported to the State Library since 1988. Please visit the Oregon Intellectual Freedom Clearinghouse webpage to learn about how to prepare your library for potential challenges, how to talk with patrons who express concerns about material, what happens after a reconsideration report form is submitted, and how to deal with the media if a challenge goes public. The Edge Initiative Wants You! [Edge]Libraries all across Oregon are participating in the Edge Initiative - how about yours?

Sager ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Don Wood Date: Wed, Sep 2, 2015 at 7:38 AM Subject: [alacro-l] Support the effective school library provisions found in Senate Bill S. 1177 To: "alacro-l at lists.ala.org" As you may have read here , school libraries are well represented in S. 1177, the Every Child Achieves Act . In fact, we were more successful with this bill than we have been in recent history and this is largely due to your efforts in contacting Congress. Currently, the House Committee on Education and Workforce (H.R. 5, the Student Success Act ) and the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions are preparing to go to ?conference? in an attempt to work out differences between the two versions of the legislation and reach agreement on reauthorization of ESEA. ALA is encouraged that provisions included under S. 1177, would support effective school library programs. In particular, ALA is pleased that effective school library program provisions were adopted unanimously during HELP Committee consideration of an amendment offered by Senator Whitehouse (D-RI)) and on the Senate floor with an amendment offered by Senators Reed (D-RI) and Cochran (R-MS). ALA is asking (with your help!) that any conference agreement to reauthorize ESEA maintain the following provisions that were overwhelmingly adopted by the HELP Committee and the full Senate under S. 1177, the Every Child Achieves Act: 1. Title V, Part H ? Literacy and Arts Education ? Authorizes activities to promote literacy programs that support the development of literacy skills in low-income communities (similar to the Innovative Approaches to Literacy program that has been funded through appropriations) as well as activities to promote arts education for disadvantaged students. 2. Title I ? Improving Basic Programs Operated by State and Local Educational Agencies ? Under Title I of ESEA, State Educational Agencies (SEAs) and local educational agencies (LEAs) must develop plans on how they will implement activities funded under the Act. 3. Title V, Part G ? Innovative Technology Expands Children?s Horizons (I-TECH) ? Authorizes activities to ensure all students have access to personalized, rigorous learning experiences that are supported through technology and to ensure that educators have the knowledge and skills to use technology to personalize learning. Now is the time to keep the momentum going! Contact your Senators and Representative to let them know that you support the effective school library provisions found in the Senate bill and they should too! A complete list of school library provisions found in S.1177 can be found here.

The grants were awarded through six programs: National Leadership Grants for Libraries, Sparks! Ignition Grants for Libraries, Native American Library Services Basic, Native American Library Services Enhancement, Native Hawaiian Library Services, and Laura Bush 21st Century Library Program. See a list of awardees and project descriptions for Native American Library Services Basic and Enhancement and the Native Hawaiian Library Services program grants . See a list of awardees and project descriptions for the remainder of the funded projects . ?The Institute of Museum and Library Services is proud to support the exciting work of the library grantees announced today,? said IMLS Acting Director Maura Marx. ?These projects underscore the important role libraries play across the country in engaging all ages of learners and in providing access to content, in physical and digital form. We look forward to watching these projects evolve and develop new models, tools, and research that can be broadly adapted by the library profession.? *National Leadership Grants for Libraries* support projects that address challenges faced by the library and archive fields and that have the potential to advance library and archival practice with new tools, research findings, models, services, practices, or alliances that can be widely replicated. Among the 17 funded projects, totaling $6,439,248, are: - Stanford University Libraries? effort, with university partners and the Metropolitan New York Library Council, to *improve ePADD, an open-source software package archiving emails*. The two-phased project will support software development and scalability issues to provide access to otherwise hidden cultural heritage materials. - Vermont Department of Libraries? *Vermont Early Literacy Initiative* to be developed in partnership with the Vermont Center for the Book and the Montshire Museum of Science. The three-year project will help 25 librarians learn concepts and practices essential to STEM learning and weave STEM language and ideas throughout programming for young children, parents, and community childcare providers. See the IMLS website for more information about the National Leadership Grants for Libraries program . *Sparks! Ignition Grants for Libraries* provide opportunities to expand and test the boundaries of library and archive services and practices. Sparks Grants support the deployment, testing, and evaluation of promising and groundbreaking new tools, products, services, or organizational practices. Twenty projects, totaling $473,343, were funded this year, including: - The Free Library of Philadelphia?s *Prison Services project* to meet the needs of incarcerated parents, returning citizens, and their children and families by supporting bonding and by connecting them to critical resources, literacy and workforce development programs. The project will include two new services: a family televisiting and shared reading program hosted in libraries close to participants? homes; and the dissemination of temporary library cards and reentry resource packets to returning citizens on the day of their release. See the IMLS website for more information about the Sparks! Ignition Grants for Libraries program. *Native American Library Services Basic grants *support existing library operations and maintain core library services. These noncompetitive grants are distributed in equal amounts among eligible applicants.

IMLS is awarding $1,731,000 to 13 institutions through this grant program, including: - The Chilkat Indian Village Library?s program focusing on Tlingit culture, tribal history, and impacts of library and cultural services with the goal of increasing community knowledge of tribal cultural history, media literacy, and life and career skills. The library will present programs, develop collections, provide increased access to cultural resources, create films that record tribal lands history, and analyze the long-term impacts of cultural and library services. See the IMLS website for more information about the Native American Library Services Enhancement program. *Native Hawaiian Library Services grants *are available to nonprofit organizations that primarily serve and represent Native Hawaiians so they can enhance existing or implement new library services.

We have one special accessible workstation that has an adjustable desk, etc. for folks in wheelchairs. Currently, people sign up for a computer session by just going to an open computer and starting a session with their library card, which makes managing this workstation very easy; if it's in use, the person who needs to use it just waits. However, we'd like to switch to using self-serve reservations, in order to allow patrons to extend their time if no one is waiting. We'd want people to be able to specifically reserve the accessible workstation, though, and from reading threads on the Envisionware forums it sounds like there's not a way for them to reserve a specific workstation from the self-serve station. Has anyone dealt with this? How? Is there a way to set up a self-serve station that lets people select between different "sections" of the library, so we could make that computer its own "section," perhaps?

It is attached, but you can also download it from The Oregon Community Foundation?s website or from my company website . First off, I want to thank the Oregon library community for your enthusiastic participation in the data gathering for this project, which included: 51 participants at eight focus groups around the state 86 of Oregon?s 131 public libraries (66%) participating in the survey--a tremendous response rate! 68 additional survey responses from Friends, Foundation and library board members 18 interviews, providing regional and national perspectives Innumerable instances of sharing insights, resources and support, as well as helping to promote the project. Truly, it took a village! My sincere thanks to all of you who have helped me make this project the very best it could be. I also want to thank The Oregon Community Foundation for commissioning this study, as well as the Lora L. & Martin N. Kelley Family Foundation Trust and the Betsy Priddy Fund of the Oregon Community Foundation for their support of this work. Earlier this week, OCF hosted a summit with other Oregon funders, where the overview I provided of the needs assessment?s findings was enthusiastically received. It is safe to say there is great interest in exploring new ways to support public libraries in Oregon, and that the needs assessment is viewed as a starting point to that effort. Stay tuned for future developments! As those who participated in the research may recall, in the needs assessment we explored how public libraries create resilient communities through the lens of eight different library roles. My friends at The Oregon Community Foundation would like me to emphasize that OCF?s competitive grant program supports each of these eight library roles, and to encourage public libraries to review their guidelines to consider how they might support your important work. Here are some links to more information about the opportunities that OCF provides: OCF Community Grant Program Developing a strong proposal Capacity building proposals to? the Community Grant Program Again, my heartfelt thanks to the Oregon library community for understanding the importance of this project and making it a success.

For many of those students, their education and success are being threatened. In some communities, we see that testing pressures and budget decisions have led to the elimination of school libraries and school ?librarians. In some districts, we see that school libraries are seen as a ?frill??nice to have but not essential to student learning. Yet school libraries and school librarians are among the most effective and efficient resources to boost student academic achievement. More than 60 education and library research studies have produced clear evidence that school library programs staffed by qualified school librarians have a significant positive impact on academic achievement. Schools with an effective school library program and a certified school librarian teach students how to learn and help teachers drive their pupils? success. When school libraries and school librarians are eliminated, students suffer. Unfortunately, much of the blame lies at the federal level. No Child Left Behind, the 2001 reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), reduced targeted funding for school libraries and eliminated language that recognized school librarians as an integral part of the school?s instructional program. Federal dollars used to support library activities under the act dwindled until they were eliminated altogether over five years ago. Library supporter Sen. Jack Reed (D-R.I.) did manage to designate funds for school libraries, first through Improving Literacy Through School Libraries, then the Innovative Approaches to Literacy. But these are small grant programs and don?t adequately support the critical role school libraries play in a student?s education. This year, Reed, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), and Sen. Thad Cochran (R-Miss.) worked to bolster federal support for libraries through S. 1177, the Every Child Achieves Act of 2015 (the Senate bill that would reauthorize ESEA). Because of their efforts, the Senate bill includes several new provisions in support of libraries, including: - state and local planning requirements related to developing effective school library programs and digital literacy skills under Title I - professional development activities for school librarians - partnership opportunities for libraries - competitive grants for developing and enhancing effective school library programs As the House of Representatives and Senate prepare to compromise on their differing versions of ESEA reauthorization, we need your help now to ensure that we can maintain the library provisions already included in the Senate bill. Please contact your senators and members of Congress and ask that they contact members of the conference committee (Sens. Lamar Alexander and Patty Murray and Reps. John Kline and Bobby Scott) to encourage them to maintain library provisions from S. 1177 in the conference agreement to reauthorize ESEA. We have a historic opportunity to win back federal support. But we need all hands on deck. All libraries?academic, public, and school?are part of an ecosystem that supports literacy and lifelong learning for all. Wherever we work, we must support one another. In October, ALA will be launching its new Libraries Transform public awareness campaign. At its heart is the message that libraries transform the lives of individuals and transform communities. It is hard to think of anything that has more impact on the lives of students than a good school library. For millions of children, libraries make the difference between failure and success.

ISBN: 978-0-8389-1331-4 Description Part of ALA's Guides for the Busy Librarian series, this book presents a start-to-finish guidebook for creating a local history reference collection that your community will embrace and use regularly. By using materials already in your library or easily available to you, creating a local history reference collection can be easier than you think, and this book shows you how. Table of Contents A detailed table of contents is available on the LIS Collection blog: http://osl-lis.blogspot.com/2015/09/local-history-reference-collections-for.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 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 to discuss alternative options for borrowing the material. Be sure to check out our Library and Information Science (LIS) blog to discover the most recent additions to our LIS collection and search our catalog 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.

We have one special accessible workstation that has an adjustable desk, etc. for folks in wheelchairs. Currently, people sign up for a computer session by just going to an open computer and starting a session with their library card, which makes managing this workstation very easy; if it's in use, the person who needs to use it just waits. However, we'd like to switch to using self-serve reservations, in order to allow patrons to extend their time if no one is waiting. We'd want people to be able to specifically reserve the accessible workstation, though, and from reading threads on the Envisionware forums it sounds like there's not a way for them to reserve a specific workstation from the self-serve station. Has anyone dealt with this? How? Is there a way to set up a self-serve station that lets people select between different "sections" of the library, so we could make that computer its own "section," perhaps?

A couple years ago we set it up so that if they have a library card -- even a temporary one -- they can get a full hour on the computers. Guest passes only allow for 30 minutes. This prompted some of our regulars who previously didn't want to get a card to get one, so that they could have more time, but still allows for visitors and people who don't want to have a card to use the computers. We used to ask for ID, but it was time-consuming for staff and patrons alike, and felt intrusive. It also discouraged people who didn't have ID from even asking to use the computers.

Concepts of Health and Illness, a traveling exhibition to U.S. libraries. Native Voices explores the interconnectedness of wellness, illness and cultural life for Native Americans, Alaska Natives and Native Hawaiians. Stories drawn from both the past and present examine how health for Native People is tied to community, the land and spirit. Through interviews, Native People describe the impact of epidemics, federal legislation, the loss of land and the inhibition of culture on the health of Native individuals and communities today. The opportunity is open to public libraries, academic libraries, tribal libraries, tribal college libraries and special libraries. Libraries serving Native populations are especially invited to apply, and partnerships between libraries and Native-serving organizations are encouraged. The exhibition will tour from February 2016 through June 2020. For full guidelines and to apply online, visit https://apply.ala.org/nativevoices. Applications are due Nov. 6, 2015. Up to 104 selected sites will receive: - the traveling exhibition for a six-week loan period; - a $250 programming grant; - training through a required project webinar and online project support materials; and - a publicity kit to help with local promotion. Native Voices requires 35 linear feet of display space and comprises six standing banners, six iPads pre-loaded with video content and six iPad stands. No internet connection is required, but an electrical connection is needed. Native Voices: Native Peoples? Concepts of Health and Illness was displayed at the NLM in Bethesda, Maryland, from 2011 to 2015.

The following email was just sent to all public library directors. Please help your director by providing him or her with the summer reading statistics you were responsible for collecting (see attached working copy of the statistics survey). The online survey should only be filled out once per library, thus the link/URL was only provided to library directors. This survey does not include an opportunity to provide feedback, it is strictly for reporting statistics and ordering. You will have an opportunity to provide feedback on all things summer reading via the SRP feedback survey conducted and sent by K'Lyn Hann, the Oregon Young Adult Network's (OYAN) CSLP Liaison. The SRP feedback survey will go out to all Oregon library staff via the kids-lib, OYAN, and libs-or email discussion lists. This allows you and your colleagues to share your professional opinions individually so be on the lookout for that survey from K'Lyn. Please let me know if you have any questions.

The deadline for completing this survey is Wednesday, September 30th. Please submit only one survey per library. You must fill out this survey in order to receive your 2016 summer reading manual and sweepstakes materials-including your free summer reading performer if that is offered next year to libraries serving fewer than 10,000 people to promote the summer reading sweepstakes. Before you take this survey you may want to fill out the attached working copy of the survey. If you do, then it should take you about 20 minutes to complete this survey and you can save your paper copy in your files so you have this information at your fingertips. Please keep in mind all libraries are at liberty to run their summer reading program in whatever way works best for their community. Therefore, your library may not collect all these statistics-that's okay, just skip the questions that don't apply. Please let me know if you have any questions or need help with the survey. Thank you, Katie Anderson PS: I will also send an announcement on the kids-lib and OYAN email lists to inform them that link to the summer reading statistics and ordering survey was emailed to you. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Additionally, every chapter has been substantially updated and reorganized to better reflect the role of technology in library services today.

The following new title is available for interlibrary loan from the Oregon State Library: Beckstrom, Matthew. Protecting Patron Privacy: Safe Practices for Public Computers. Santa Barbara, California : Libraries Unlimited, An Imprint of ABC-CLIO, LLC, 2015. ISBN: 978-1-61069-996-9. [9781610699969.JPG]From the publisher Protect patron privacy and safeguard Internet usage using this how-to manual for creating a secure environment in your library. You'll learn how simple changes to your policies, procedures, and computer settings can ensure a private and safe research space for users. In a world where almost anyone with computer savvy can hack, track, and record the online activities of others, your library can serve as a protected haven for your visitors who rely on the Internet to conduct research-if you take the necessary steps to safeguard their privacy. This book shows you how to protect patrons' privacy while using the technology that your library provides, including public computers, Internet access, wireless networks, and other devices. Logically organized into two major sections, the first part of the book discusses why the privacy of your users is of paramount importance, explains the applicable laws and regulations related to patron privacy, and delves into the mechanics of security breaches on public computers. The second half outlines the practical steps you can take to preserve the rights of library visitors by working with computer and mobile device configurations, network security settings, and special applications. Features * Offers clear, practical instructions on how to better ensure privacy in the library * Traces the history of libraries providing privacy to their patrons * Includes simple examples of programs, browser changes, and procedural changes that libraries can use * Introduces the way that the Internet and browsing works * Covers federal and state laws governing privacy issues Contents Foreword by Barbara Jones Chapter 1: Privacy and How It is Lost Chapter 2: Staff Procedures and Policy Chapter 3: Patron Education Chapter 4: Network Security and Devices Chapter 5: Windows Settings and Applications Chapter 6: Browser Settings and Plug-Ins Index 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).

Welcome back to another school year. Hope yours is off to a grand start! We here in PPS have already been teaching kids for four days, while most of you are just coming back! Crazy. Did you know that this school year all 4th graders in the nation can get a free national parks pass that gives them (and their family) free access to all national parks, lands and waters through August 31, 2016? This program is one of the President?s initiatives, and it?s called Every Kid in a Park. The site went live today! This is a great opportunity for those of us in libraryland, and I encourage you to take advantage of it. We can sign 4th graders up as a class (librarians can register all the fourth graders in your school); we can share this information with teachers and they can sign their classes up; we can help students navigate the site where they complete an online activity and get signed up individually; and/or we can create exciting, relevant curriculum around national parks and collaborate with teachers. So many options to showcase the library and, more importantly, to provide an amazing experience for our fourth graders! Several teachers in Portland Public have already been working together to collaborate on curriculum, and you?re invited to check out our TeachNPS site: http://teachnps.weebly.com/. There are links there to Every Kid in a Park (the President?s initiative), where students get their vouchers (each child will be issued a voucher with a unique code which is their pass) along with lots of other great resources and specific lessons (thanks to Jenny Gapp for managing the page!). I hope this year is your best year yet and that you and your fourth graders get a chance to explore some of our country?s incredible national park units this year, both in books and in real life!

The PewResearchCenter on Science, Internet, and Technology has released a new report, Libraries at the Crossroads. Overview: American libraries are buffeted by cross currents. Citizens believe that libraries are important community institutions and profess interest in libraries offering a range of new program possibilities. Yet, even as the public expresses interest in additional library services, there are signs that the share of Americans visiting libraries has edged downward over the past three years, although it is too soon to know whether or not this is a trend. A new survey from Pew Research Center brings this complex situation into stark relief. Many Americans say they want public libraries to: * support local education; * serve special constituents such as veterans, active-duty military personnel and immigrants; * help local businesses, job seekers and those upgrading their work skills; * embrace new technologies such as 3-D printers and provide services to help patrons learn about high-tech gadgetry. Additionally, two-thirds of Americans (65%) ages 16 and older say that closing their local public library would have a major impact on their community. Low-income Americans, Hispanics and African Americans are more likely than others to say that a library closing would impact their lives and communities. At the same time, the survey finds that the share of Americans who report using a library has ebbed somewhat over the past several years, though it is too early to identify a definitive national trend. Compared with Pew Research Center surveys from recent years, the current survey finds those 16 and older a bit less likely to say they have visited a library or bookmobile in-person in the past 12 months, visited a library website or used a library?s computers and internet access. * 46% of all Americans ages 16 and over say they visited a library or a bookmobile in-person in the prior year. This is roughly comparable with the 48% who said this in 2013, but down from 53% in 2012. * 22% of those 16 and older have used library websites in the past year, compared with 30% who said this in 2013 and 25% in 2012. * 27% of those who have visited a public library have used its computers, internet connection or Wi-Fi signal to go online in the past 12 months. This compares with 31% who said this in 2012. The complete executive summary can be found here: http://www.pewinternet.org/2015/09/15/libraries-at-the-crossroads/ (click through at the bottom to read the complete report online) A PDF version of the complete report is also available.

Hi, I just found out that while the Google integration feature is available in Opposing Viewpoints In Context, Student Resources In Context, and U.S. History In Context, it won't be available in Research In Context until October. Also, there are now two tip sheets about Google integration for In Context databases, instead of just one. Each explains how to use the feature and includes screenshots. In just 5 minutes of browsing these overviews, you will understand the capability of the Google integration feature. Both can be found here: http://solutions.cengage.com/gale-training/materials/tip-sheets/. * Gale to Google Path ? Google Drive Integration * Gale to Google Path ? Google Classroom Integration Gale's original press release about Google integration in In Context databases noted this: "To improve student productivity, increase engagement and foster collaboration among all of its users, Gale will roll out similar apps, authentication and tools for other product families this fall, including Gale Virtual Reference Library (GVRL), InfoTrac, Kids InfoBits and more." I learned from a Gale rep that their estimated timeline for Google integration to be available in Kids InfoBits is mid-December. Currently, Gale has no timeline for adding it to National Geographic Kids.

[Gale.Google.LTLO.PNG] Gale has added great new functionality to their In Context databases ? those products now integrate with Google Apps like Google Drive and Google Classroom. As part of our statewide database contract, Oregonians have access to the following products that have this new feature: Research In Context (middle school), Student Resources In Context (high school), Opposing Viewpoints In Context (MS & up), and U.S. History In Context (MS & up). To use it, simply access any In Context database and use the link at the top of the page to sign in to your Google account. Then download a Gale article, notes, or citations to Google Drive or instantly share to Google Classroom. For a quick overview, read the tip sheet called Gale to Google Path: Google Drive Integration. Or, participate in a free webinar about any In Context database and see the feature in action. Better yet, come to the Gale session at the OASL Fall Conference. According to a press release, Gale plans to add this functionality to most of their other databases over time. Please let folks know about this way to connect library resources to users? workflow.

The speaker this year is Dr. Safiya Noble, Assistant Professor in the Dept. of Information Studies at UCLA. Her talk is abstracted below. "Google Searching for Black Girls: Old Media Stereotypes in New Media Practices" Critical information scholars continue to demonstrate how technology and its narratives are shaped by and infused with values, that is, that it is not the result of the actions of impartial, disembodied, unpositioned agents. Technology consists of a set of social practices, situated within the dynamics of race, gender, class, and politics. Critiques of technology include the rhetoric around the digital divide, as if access, skills and connectivity are the primary issues facing women and girls of color in the realms of the digital. These critiques, however, largely serve to depoliticize the ways that social systems of power are embedded in technology practices. This talk is based on a forthcoming book (NYU Press) about identity for sale in commercial search engines, where I look deeply at how Google mediates access to information on racialized and gendered identities in biased ways that reinforce oppressive social relations. A reception will follow the lecture. Directions, maps, and parking information are available on the Lewis & Clark website . *Please note this year's lecture in Diane Gregg Pavilion is being held in a different venue than in past years.* Sincerely, Elaine Hirsch Associate Director Watzek Library -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

[cid:image005.png at 01D0F15D.52E50E20] This feature plays an audio version of the text, but also offers features to highlight or increase the size of the text as it is being read. There is also a setting to adjust the reading speed, which might be handy for dyslexic readers. Just click on the gear/wheel icon within the button to set these features. To get non-English audio content, use the "Translate Article" feature in the Tools menu (usually on the right of the article display) to translate to your language of choice, then use the Listen button to listen to the translated text. In many Gale databases, the Tools menu also offers an option to download the audio file in MP3 format to play later. While not the same quality as a professionally-read audio book, this tool is a great way to get audio content that could be appropriate for homework assignments or other kinds of short recreational reading. For example, see how this tool works with an article from National Geographic: http://tinyurl.com/o5gh7jh If you have any other questions about using these features in the Gale databases, please contact me!

[image: ALA Membership] Dear Colleague: On October 29th, 2015, ALA?s new public awareness campaign, Libraries Transform, will launch in Washington, D.C. and in communities and libraries around the country. We need your help in making it a success![image: Libraries Transform video] The purpose of the new campaign is to increase public awareness of the ways that libraries of all types transform people?s lives and our communities; shift perception of the library from ?obsolete? or ?nice to have? to essential; and energize library professionals and external advocates to influence local, state and national decision-makers and increase support for libraries of all types. This multi-year campaign will include national media outreach, public service announcements, a social media campaign and ongoing events such as National Library Week and Banned Books Week . It will also include attention-grabbing and curiosity-stimulating graphics and tools that you can use in your library and your community. Won?t you join us, and be part of both the Libraries Transform campaign and this October launch? Be sure to watch my video to learn more about Libraries Transform and visit www.librariestransform.org for more information on how to get started.

To: "ALACro-l at lists.ala.org" *We need your to help! Support school libraries!* Last week we called on library staff and advocates to contact Congress to support school libraries, and many of you responded! So far, there have been 2,971 emails, 446 Tweets and 39 phone calls. That?s great, but with over 98,000 school libraries in the U.S. we can do better! ALA staff are meeting with key Congressional all this week to ask for support for school libraries. Right now we need one more push from library staff and advocates so that when ALA meets with Congressional staff your grassroots support will be the evidence Congress needs to take action for school libraries and ensure they?re adequately funded in the ESEA reauthorization. Here?s how you can ensure that happens: 1. Go here: http://cqrcengage.com/ala/home 2. In the blue bar in the upper half of the page, choose how you want to contact your members of Congress: letter, Tweet, or phone call 3. Click on the option(s) you want, provide the required contact info, & submit. The letter and Tweet are pre-written for you, so it?s super easy! (but you do have the option to customize them if you want) 4. Forward this message to library advocates in your community & encourage them to do take action, too 5. Pat yourself on the back for a job well done!

Here are some great tutorials and articles from WebJunction. I particularly like the first one below: ? eReader Detective: Solving the case for your library patrons: Asking the right questions, tracking clues, and following paths of inquiry are part of the process to support your eReading patrons. With all the combination of eReader devices, file formats, and eContent providers, how can we possibly be prepared for each encounter? This free course can help you on your way. If you don?t already have a free account in the WebJunction Course Catalog, you?ll need to sign up to get started, but that will open the door to almost 40 self-paced courses on a wide range of topics to meet your learning needs. ? Stories of Inclusion: Inclusive Practices at Cultural Institutions: It?s been 25 years since the passage of the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act), and a new webinar series enlists advocates and experts to explore issues of accessibility and inclusion from the perspective of visitors, staff and program users in museums, libraries, archives and other cultural institutions. And to support this important topic, the American Alliance of Museums is inviting you to host a ?Watch and Talk? viewing event at your library. This is a learning experience enriched by watching a webinar and then discussing it with your colleagues, and there?s no cost to you as a host, or for your attendees! ? The Social Library: Great programming inspiration from around the country as libraries connect with their communities. One of the featured libraries is addressing early literacy, another is reaching out to millennials, and one library wins the most unique programming award of the week, with their annual car show.

Library Instruction West is the new name for the popular LOEX of the West conference. The new name reflects the mission of the conference and reflects our regional spirit; it also distinguishes this conference from the national LOEX organization and conference. Library Instruction West 2016 has chosen ?Learning Elevated? as this year?s theme. Utah is widely known for its beautiful mountain ranges and five national parks. In keeping with that landscape, we want to hear about ways librarians are elevating and increasing student learning at their institutions. General categories for possible topics include: * Beware of false summits: Elevating student learning * Tools for the trail: Supporting innovative technologies & online learning * Improve the path for next time: Building authentic assessments * Establish new footholds: Implementing threshold concepts & the Framework * Never hike alone: Collaborating with faculty * Finding your path: Developing ourselves as teachers Please visit the conference website for more information: http://campusguides.lib.utah.edu/liw16/proposals Session Formats Our session formats are simple and allow for creativity. There are two options for session length: 15 minutes and 45 minutes. The 15 minute sessions will be like a longer lightning talk, with roughly 10 minutes for the presentation and 5 minutes for questions. Bring your energy for lively discussions! The format is flexible for the 45 minute sessions, and you are welcome to try an experimental format or propose a traditional session like a panel, workshop, or presentation. All proposals will be blind reviewed. Proposal Submissions The deadline for submitting your session proposal is 11:59 pm MST, Friday, October 2, 2015. For your proposal, please submit the following two session descriptions: 1. A short abstract of 150 words or less. If your proposal is accepted, we will use this abstract for the conference program. The review committee will not see these abstracts, so they can include identifying information. 2. A longer session description of 300 - 500 words. The Program Committee will review this description for selection purposes. This description must not include any identifying information about the institution or presenters to ensure a blind review. The submission form is available online: https://usu.co1.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_6zA7hrx3cUoukcd Session proposals will be scored on these criteria: * Clarity of goals or objectives for session * Originality, creativity, or innovation in content and/or presentation * Timeliness/relevance of content * Connection to conference theme, ?Learning Elevated?

On Saturday, December 12 from 10 to 4, CSD is launching for the first time the Mock Pura Belpr? Award. The event is going to take place at Hillsboro Public Library ? Main (Board Room), 2850 NE Brookwood Pkwy, Hillsboro, OR 97124. Next week I?ll be sending the agenda and the list of books to be considered for the award, so you have the time to review them and get them and, thus, we can discuss them during the program. The following is the bio of Beth Patin, the presenter for the first part of the program, and the theme for the presentation: Beth Patin is currently a PhD Candidate at the University of Washington?s Information School. Beth graduated from Loyola University New Orleans in 1999 with a B.S. in Education. She taught in the New Orleans Public Schools prior to pursuing a master?s degree in Library and Information Science at Louisiana State University. Beth?s research agenda focuses on the equity of information in two research streams: crisis informatics and building cultural competency through multicultural resources for youth. Both research areas are a product of personal experiences and the complicated questions rising from them. After becoming a teacher-librarian, her library was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina inspiring her to think about libraries and the roles they can play in disasters and the many different information problems arising in crisis contexts. In 2007, Beth was named an American Library Association Emerging Leader. Currently, she is a member of the Advisory Board on the Laura Bush Foundation for America?s Libraries. Title/Theme of presentation (this might change a bit as [Beth] work[s] on it for the next couple of months...) Moving beyond Heroes and Holidays: Location, Selection, and Program Development using Multicultural Resources for Youth This presentation will introduce the concept of cultural competence and argue why this is a valuable skill for librarians. Next, this presentation demonstrate four ways to incorporate multicultural programming in your library.

Finally, we will end with a couple of activities librarians can recreate in their libraries. I?ve also attached the criteria for the award. Thank you so much.

As librarians working with the Latino and Spanish speaking community, we always have to be aware of our ?core beliefs? and don?t be afraid of making a point.

Of course, this is reflected in our education and what it is published (in the media as a whole).? ? ?It?s almost impossible to find books written by Latino authors and illustrators (only 2% of what is printed is relevant to the Latino culture).? To that point, I will add that most of what is presented to our community as Latino culture is just regular consumer products with Spanish names, and in many cases the so call ?Latino heroes? do not even understand Spanish, or are some famous sports or Hollywood millionaires far removed from our Latino reality. ? Specifically on Latino culture publications: In most libraries in the United States the ?Spanish? section ?if there is any-- contains non Latino author books in Spanish. This will increase even more now that Penguin has bought Alfaguara. ? Librarians always tell you that they can?t buy your book because you are an ?Independent? writer. I thought that was the highest honor that an artist could aspire to. Not when it comes to having your books at the library. It seems that libraries in general are tied to a system where they can only buy products from the ?official? and ?traditional? industry, which is run of course by the big media empire. Sadly, our so called ?Latino culture?, image and products are established by this big machine; for them ?Latino culture? is just a commercial opportunity. ? To that respect, it will be interesting to ask our community what makes them Latinos, and if they ever read a book by a Latino author -- asking them if they read a book in Spanish will be perhaps expecting too much. BUT libraries and librarians are still key players in these difficult issues; they may not resolve them but they can keep them alive on the discussion table. Thank you REFORMA, I have faith in you.

OREGON HUMANITIES GRANT OPPORTUNITIES Oregon Humanities (OH) encourages non-profits to apply for its 2016 Public Program Grants to support public programs beginning after April 1, 2016. Applicants should submit letters of interest via OH's online form no later than Oct. 31. In 2015, OH Public Program Grants funded programs that addressed the affects of criminalization on communities, the legacy of World War II on the Oregon Coast, the experiences of survivors of the Vanport Flood, the state of women's sports, and more. Program Officer Annie Kaffen will lead a series of webinars to talk more about this year's changes to OH's grant guidelines. Webinars are set to take place on Sept. 30 at 11 a.m., and Oct. 6 at 3 p.m. To learn more about Public Program Grants and the upcoming webinars, visit Oregon Humanities online. FEMA RELEASES PRESERVATION REVIEW GUIDE FOR DISASTER RECOVERY ASSISTANCE The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) recently released the Unified Federal Environmental and Historic Preservation Review Guide for Federal Disaster Recovery Assistance Applicants (Applicant Guide). The Applicant Guide's purpose is to provide its target audience (i.e., state and local agencies, Indian tribes, small business owners, individuals) an overview of the typical environmental and historic preservation (EHP) review process for disaster recovery projects. It will assist applicants to comply with EHP requirements when multiple agencies may be involved in funding or permitting a disaster recovery project. It also outlines the type of information Applicants should submit to federal agencies to assist in expediting the EHP review. The Applicant Guide is the result of a joint coordination between FEMA and the inter-agency Steering Group comprised of the Department of Homeland Security, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, and the Council on Environmental Quality. To learn more about the Applicant Guide and other resources, visit the Unified Federal Review webpage. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE UNVEILS NEW PRESERVATION LAW WEBSITE The National Park Service (NPS) carries out a wide variety of historic preservation work and programs. This work occurs not only in the NPS, but also in partnership with local communities and preservation groups, State and Tribal governments, other federal agencies, and international organizations. The NPS's historic preservation work is governed by federal law (United States Code [USC] and Public Laws [PL]), federal regulations (Code of Federal Regulations [CFR]), Presidential executive orders, and orders issued by the Director of the NPS. The NPS has created a webpage that lists the laws by their commonly known names, rather than their current legal citations. For example, Section 106 instead of 54 USC 306108. The page provides information about the laws, regulations, and orders. Visit www.nps.gov/history/laws.htm to learn more. SYMPOSIUM ABOUT EXTREMISM OPPORTUNITY FOR COMMUNITY DISCUSSION The Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education will hold a symposium titled "Confronting Extremism: The State of Hate Today", from 1 - 4 p.m., Nov. 8, at Portland State University's Hoffman Hall (1833 SW 11th Ave., Portland). The film Hate will kick off the event and a conversation will take place after its screening. This is an excellent example of how cultural organizations can broker conversations in their communities that address the issues of today.

Buy directly from US, not your 20th century distributor!" Yes, many librarians I have talked to are/think they are locked into buying from, let's say Baker & Taylor...a perfect example of how the publishing industry lobbyists long ago dictated whose works would be prominent in the library: those published by HUGE, corporate, NYC-based publishers, sharing $$$ with their distribution buddies when librarians buy. So, our firm's titles are also distributed by Baker & Taylor, but they demand from us, a 55% discount (!!) to send you our books. Yucky business terms for this Latina military veteran-owned firm. I actually cringe when we fulfill orders from B & T, but I want our books in our nation's libraries. They also agree to pay us in four months yet regularly take SIX to NINE months to pay. There's another proof point of their cozy, white, male connections to NYC publishers. Pengiun, Random House can float their distribution buddies for half a year or more; small publishers, not so much. There's another view for you about the in-place system that perpetuates racism. And don't get me started on how ALL of those systems support book printing jobs for CHINESE workers...We refuse to print in China, we support American jobs. Continuing to buy the way you've been told to buy as librarians feeds the Chinese and starves Americans. Check YOUR recent acquisitions. How many were printed in the USA? In China? Are your library funds supporting racist literary agents, publishers, distributors and Chinese printers? These are questions few have asked. So happy it's being talked about... Our little publishing firm has won nine literary awards for our first two titles, each anchoring a book series, with second books for both in development. These awards include several at the International Latino Book Awards. If you're curious, "Latinnovating: Green American Jobs and the Latinos Creating Them," [www.Latinnovating.com] and "Good Night Captain Mama/Buenas Noches Capit?n Mam?" [wew.CaptainMama.com] They're available as print books and eBooks. Technology has changed the game making EXCELLENT book product development possible for small firms. There are awards programs for indie publishers to recognize this fact. Are librarians monitoring/being marketed THOSE indie titles? (Our bilingual Captain Mama book won FIRST Place, in the uber-competitive Children Picture Book category in December...first time Writer's Digest judges had selected a book in English/Spanish to WIN!) But...the challenge continues to be reaching the institutional buyers, our librarians, because of everything that's been said before my comments and within these comments. I urge you to buy DIRECTLY from us. Buying only from Baker and Taylor robs us half of our revenue while you likely still pay full price, making it harder for us to get the next book out faster. Our titles can be purchased in our online store at the link below: (www.GracefullyGlobal.com/commerce ) I urge you to buy from that 2% of us creating literature that sparks young minds in exciting, aspirational, college-going ways. I see it at every school visit and library program I do. Our children NEED this literature, by us, about who they can become. Then after you buy, please tell 20 librarian friends. We've got BIG publishing plans ahead, but won't be able to grow without the purchasing support of our nation's librarians. Thank you for discussing this!!

They are not easy to find, but when I do find them, I purchase them, particularly if I can get them through Ingram. I cannot go to Guadalajara at the present time, and would love it if a listing of books written for children were given to me, and where they could be most easily purchased, and Reviews, if possible. Maybe some reader reviews? We have also had a lot of trouble getting a number of books shipped to us. We have a limited budget and it is expensive to have them shipped. If we go to the book fair, they would also need to be shipped. As an example of shipping problems we have encountered, one company shipped us books one-at-a-time and charged us for shipping each individual book. And when the books are really expensive to obtain, it presents a further problem. The idea I?d like to present is that those of us who are in charge of purchasing books are not necessarily tied to a known entity when it comes to books from another country. What we do lack is accessibility. It shouldn?t be necessary to have to go to the book fair in order to obtain books. So, help us please, by suggesting titles and resources. For me, this means children?s titles, and teen titles that I can suggest to our teen librarian.

This is THE organization collecting and posting annual data on the lack of diversity in children and YA literature. They list FIVE of us Latina/o presses...including Latino-OWNED (very important): http://ccbc.education.wisc.edu/books/pclist.asp Please spread the word. THIS is who you should buy from, to serve your diverse readers while NOT contributing to the industry status quo. African-American and Asian presses listed there too. That anyone feels they MUST travel to Guadalajara to connect with great Latino literature for libraries is inconceivable. Now, I'm sure it's a GREAT time, but not required...and yes, then there's the shipping problem. This Cooperative Children's Book Center list from Univ. of Wisconsin is a terrific compilation and starting point. http://ccbc.education.wisc.edu/books/pclist.asp Reader reviews: Of course!

It was their genius response to years of the New York Times completely excluding Latino authors from their EOY lists. These Latinas ARE the change we want to see in the world. :-) Their L4LL Summer Reading Program includes another group of lists of Latino Literature each year (by age group), encourages schools and libraries to encourage ALL students to participate and their sponsor (Google) gives Chromebooks as prizes to the ages 9-18 group, free school supplies in a backpack to the younger kids. They've got their bilingual, bicultural fingers on the pulse of Latino literature, reviewing it, writing about it, being interviewed by TV media in two languages about Latino lit....like nobody else. I'll suggest the idea of a journal to them, but since their objective is getting Latino literature in the hands of as many American children as possible, I don't know if that's something that would interest them. They've got strong K through 12 connections. What if some one (or some ten) REFORMISTAS made this excellent suggestion about a journal to the CCBC staff at the University of Wisconsin? Hmmmm..

I published my book through Amazon's Createspace. Amazon makes my book available to libraries at a discounted price because I chose that distribution method as part of the Createspace plan. However, I pocket only a small fraction of those sales. I could opt out of the distribution to libraries and make more off individual sales, but I want to make my book as available as possible. My goal is to reach as many readers as I can, and I'm happy to say that several libraries have purchased my book.

Nevertheless, going to the International Book Fair (FIL) in Guadalajara is not very expensive. It?s actually much cheaper than going to an ALA conference (ironic, isn?t it?). In the FIL, librarians have the opportunity to get in touch with books written by dozens if not hundreds of Latino American authors and illustrators, because there is not much material in Spanish published in the USA, especially from Latino, not Latin American, authors. Definitely, because of this reality ?17% of the US population is Latin@, while the percentage of Latino authors/illustrators published in our country is only 2%, libraries have to acquire most of their collections in the FIL. However, Latinos in this country need English, bilingual and Spanish material which reflects the Latino (again, not Latino American) experience in the US. Here it?s the big gap. And as librarians, members of REFORMA or not, those who work with Latin at s or not, we have to pressure these publishing houses to take into consideration the lack of multicultural (in this case Latino) titles. This is our struggle. We live in a country which is rapidly changing its demographics. Again, this is our challenge. We have to have a vision of the future. We can?t wait. The time is now if we want to reflect the diversity in our country (a diversity that in many, if not all, Latin American countries is not reflected). As somebody mentioned before, even corporate publishing houses are buying Spanish and Latin American publishers. That means that even in Latin America is difficult to find books, especially children ones, written and/or illustrated by native artists (I?ve just came from Argentina, visiting family and friends, and I was shocked to see most of the children books that are been sold in that country are Disney books or foreign, non-Latin@ authors!) I?m glad that Max Macias share the article that generated this discussion, which is just the tip of the iceberg if we begin discussing about identity. Again Katie, I?m glad that you are always concern with these issues.

I?m not going to the Guadalajara Book Fair anytime soon, unfortunately, but I?d be happy to help with organization (creating selection profile forms for libraries that can?t go, working out logistics, and other behind-the-scenes stuff) if any Oregon attendees are willing to serve in this capacity. CSD is starting a blog soon and is looking for content. Posts about awesome Spanish-language and Latin@ books for kids would be really helpful for children?s librarians around the state! Please send me and our Web Editor Taylor Worley (tworley at springfield-or.gov) an e-mail if you?d be willing to recommend some gems that aren?t on the mainstream library-land radar. (I?d be excited to see it become a regular series, personally! We just need a steady stream of content provided by people in the know to make it happen. ?) If anyone wants to go the Guadalajara Book Fair, don?t forget that CSD and other OLA divisions offer scholarships for conference attendance, too! We tend to have too few people apply than too many, so don?t be shy about applying. ?

As librarians working with the Latino and Spanish speaking community, we always have to be aware of our ?core beliefs? and don?t be afraid of making a point. Racism is embedded, permeated, in a minority of the planet?s population (yes, white people, including myself, even when I?m Latino). Racism is the tool of the privileged to perpetuate power. Of course, this is reflected in our education and what it is published (in the media as a whole). We are trying to select books for the Mock Pura Belpr? Award, and it?s like doing an archeological work. It?s almost impossible to find books written by Latino authors and illustrators (only 2% of what is printed is relevant to the Latino culture). Our presenter for the Mock Pura Belpr? Award in Oregon is going to touch this issue. A good space to have a discussion.

They are not easy to find, but when I do find them, I purchase them, particularly if I can get them through Ingram. I cannot go to Guadalajara at the present time, and would love it if a listing of books written for children were given to me, and where they could be most easily purchased, and Reviews, if possible. Maybe some reader reviews? We have also had a lot of trouble getting a number of books shipped to us. We have a limited budget and it is expensive to have them shipped. If we go to the book fair, they would also need to be shipped. As an example of shipping problems we have encountered, one company shipped us books one-at-a-time and charged us for shipping each individual book. And when the books are really expensive to obtain, it presents a further problem.

One of our branches has been offered internet at no cost that will be a great increase in service. But.....the person in charge wants to control the wifi with a password only available to patrons that come into the library. This would limit wifi to anyone who doesn't get the password during workng hours. The password would be changed randomly but it sounds like it wouldn't be daily. I would love the service for our computers, but I am not in favor of the password system. Their theory is that it would limit "deadbeats and undesirable people" from using our wifi for illicit purposes. He claims that if a patron uses our wifi for illegal activities we the library will be open for prosecution. Do we accept the better service and continue to pay for our current internet to allow 24/7 service? Or do we accept the offer and their limitations? Thanks everyone in advance for your expert advice.

At one (college) libray, we control access to our wifi through a proxy. Anyone who is in the library has access to the wifi, provided they identify themselves as students or enter "library guest" credentials at the proxy page. At the other (public) library I work, Access to wifi is unrestricted. The patron has to click an "agree" button, expressing an explicit agreement to library policies and rules, but that's about it. No passwords, passes or the like. Both approaches seem to work fine for each library.

We should organize, through REFORMA Oregon Chapter, a data bank with one list of Latino authors/illustrators (English, bilingual, Spanish), and another of Latin American and Spanish ones. A good way to begin is participating not only in the REFORMA chapter meetings, but we also have the opportunity (offered and suggested by OLA?s CSD) to discuss about books focused on the Latino experience during the first Mock Pura Belpr? Award workshop which is going to take place on Sat., December 12, from 10 to 4 at the Hillsboro Public Library ? Main, 2850 NE Brookwood Pkwy in Hillsboro. We have to work together and help each other in order to better our services to the Latino and the Spanish speaking community in the state. Librarians of the world, unite!

They are not easy to find, but when I do find them, I purchase them, particularly if I can get them through Ingram. I cannot go to Guadalajara at the present time, and would love it if a listing of books written for children were given to me, and where they could be most easily purchased, and Reviews, if possible. Maybe some reader reviews? We have also had a lot of trouble getting a number of books shipped to us. We have a limited budget and it is expensive to have them shipped. If we go to the book fair, they would also need to be shipped. As an example of shipping problems we have encountered, one company shipped us books one-at-a-time and charged us for shipping each individual book. And when the books are really expensive to obtain, it presents a further problem. The idea I?d like to present is that those of us who are in charge of purchasing books are not necessarily tied to a known entity when it comes to books from another country. What we do lack is accessibility. It shouldn?t be necessary to have to go to the book fair in order to obtain books. So, help us please, by suggesting titles and resources. For me, this means children?s titles, and teen titles that I can suggest to our teen librarian.

To that point, I will add that most of what is presented to our community as Latino culture is just regular consumer products with Spanish names, and in many cases the so call ?Latino heroes? do not even understand Spanish, or are some famous sports or Hollywood millionaires far removed from our Latino reality. ? Specifically on Latino culture publications: In most libraries in the United States the ?Spanish? section ?if there is any-- contains non Latino author books in Spanish. This will increase even more now that Penguin has bought Alfaguara. ? Librarians always tell you that they can?t buy your book because you are an ?Independent? writer. I thought that was the highest honor that an artist could aspire to. Not when it comes to having your books at the library. It seems that libraries in general are tied to a system where they can only buy products from the ?official? and ?traditional? industry, which is run of course by the big media empire. Sadly, our so called ?Latino culture?, image and products are established by this big machine; for them ?Latino culture? is just a commercial opportunity. ? To that respect, it will be interesting to ask our community what makes them Latinos, and if they ever read a book by a Latino author -- asking them if they read a book in Spanish will be perhaps expecting too much. BUT libraries and librarians are still key players in these difficult issues; they may not resolve them but they can keep them alive on the discussion table. Thank you REFORMA, I have faith in you.

As librarians working with the Latino and Spanish speaking community, we always have to be aware of our ?core beliefs? and don?t be afraid of making a point. Racism is embedded, permeated, in a minority of the planet?s population (yes, white people, including myself, even when I?m Latino). Racism is the tool of the privileged to perpetuate power. Of course, this is reflected in our education and what it is published (in the media as a whole). We are trying to select books for the Mock Pura Belpr? Award, and it?s like doing an archeological work. It?s almost impossible to find books written by Latino authors and illustrators (only 2% of what is printed is relevant to the Latino culture). Our presenter for the Mock Pura Belpr? Award in Oregon is going to touch this issue. A good space to have a discussion.

We have one login password that is fixed(anyone can use it) just to control bandwidth each person uses. This also limits regarding illegal downloads since often what they are downloading (such as an entire movie) takes a lot of bandwidth. We also have a click through agreement telling users not to misuse our wifi. We have gotten e-mails stating we have had illegal downloads from our IP and to cease and desist, some have even threatened that our internet connection would be removed or that we owe money. Be sure you always check before responding to any of these e-mails. They are often scams that are fishing for money. We have responded to the real illegal downloads by limiting bandwidth access. This is the best we feel we can do as a library while still allowing access.

At one (college) libray, we control access to our wifi through a proxy. Anyone who is in the library has access to the wifi, provided they identify themselves as students or enter "library guest" credentials at the proxy page. At the other (public) library I work, Access to wifi is unrestricted. The patron has to click an "agree" button, expressing an explicit agreement to library policies and rules, but that's about it. No passwords, passes or the like. Both approaches seem to work fine for each library.

When I was looking for positions, I don't remember seeing any Oregon libraries that had AmeriCorps members (and besides Coos Bay Public Library, still don't, though I could certainly be mistaken!). If you're at all curious about other states, a handful of Vermont libraries have PT or FT AmeriCorps members--I had the opportunity to serve for a year with a bookmobile and supervise a member with a library. I think the AmeriCorps experience is great for both organizations and members, and I wish you the best of luck this year! Best, MacKenzie Ross Youth Services Librarian Silver Falls Library 410 S.

During the meeting we will plan for our spring information literacy summit, meet with the Oregon Writing & English Advisory Committee (OWEAC) group to hear a presentation from EdNW on their writing alignment work, and also consider additional action items that the ILAGO group can work toward in the 2015-2016 academic year. This year our meeting will be held at 9:00 am on Friday, October 16th in room HL 107 in the Hamersly Library at Western Oregon University: 345 N Monmouth Ave, Monmouth, OR 97361. We plan to provide a light continental breakfast along with coffee, so please do email me to RSVP so that we don't run out of food. For interested parties who would like to join the conversation but cannot make it in person, we are working to set up a dial-in option to attend remotely. More information on that to follow. Thank you, and I'm looking forward to seeing many of you at the fall meeting.

Someone who refers to the "deadbeats and undesirables" using the wifi may not be the best partner. Regarding illegal downloads and such, that can be dealt with in other ways than restricting passwords. You could, for instance, only allow traffic through certain internet ports for popular applications (e.g. web browsing, chat, email, etc.). Alternatively, you could throttle ports commonly used for illicit downloads, such as common BitTorrent ports, such that people wanting to engage in illegal conduct simply find it too slow to do on your network.

Do we accept the better service and continue to pay for our current internet to allow 24/7 service? Or do we accept the offer and their limitations? Thanks everyone in advance for your expert advice.

This is often used for blocking Facebook in an office setting, but you could do this for other destinations. For more on this I would look into ways of blocking FDQN (Fully Qualified Domain Names). This might be the easiest without getting into a lot of conversations with your providers. Creating a user agreement page would also be a good place to start as a step towards removing yourself (the library) from some culpability. Definitely step away from anyone who might be referring to your users in derogatory fashions. We don't judge, but we do want to keep it legal.

The report offers insight into how libraries and their partners can develop community-driven projects and concludes with three takeaway questions for participants: * What are your strategies for assessing and responding to needs? * How do you cultivate and strengthen partnerships? * How can local projects and programs inform the rest of the profession? See the IMLS blog post, A Focus on Libraries Engaging Communities, for more information and read the report in pdf format online. The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) is the primary source of federal support for the nation's 123,000 libraries and 35,000 museums. Its mission is to inspire libraries and museums to advance innovation, lifelong learning, and cultural and civic engagement. Its grant making, policy development, and research help libraries and museums deliver valuable services that make it possible for communities and individuals to thrive. This is the third and final report that IMLS commissioned OCLC Research to write to summarize IMLS Focus events in order to draw on its unique position within the field and its capacity to distill thoughts shared at the meeting and summarize outcomes and recommendations. The two earlier reports were IMLS Focus: The National Digital Platform and IMLS Focus: Learning in Libraries. [Message-icon-grey]How are we doing?

(In brief: that some CA libraries formed a collaborative to send delegates to the Guadalajara Book Fair (aka the FIL) to buy materials and gather information on behalf of the greater group.) *Have* any Oregon libraries collaborated that way already? If not, I think it could be a worthwhile conversation to start. (I know that this thread caught the interest of some of the Clackamas LINCC directors...) Maybe we could pull it off in the future. Like Barratt, I might also be able to help consult, coordinate or strategize. I was fortunate when working for Multnomah as a bilingual youth librarian to attend the Guadalajara Book Fair a few times to select juvenile Spanish-language materials. Although it's true that some material, even there, is in translation (my favorites are the translations from the French -- French picture books can be so surreal and hilarious!), we typically found lots of terrific, Spanish-original, mostly Latino material that we simply couldn't get through any publishers or distributors state-side. It really enriched MCL's collection with materials reflecting and honoring the origins of many in our service population. I know that sending delegates to the FIL is simply outside budget likelihood for many libraries, but I think a combination of capitalizing on the scholarships available and some collaborative strategizing might really be do-able. (And on the simplest end, even if we just organized for FIL attendees to share lists of the best titles and other resources they found, it could be helpful, since at least some of the titles can be bought in the US. As Ruth said, "Not everyone could afford to send someone to Guadalajara, but every library could participate, spend what they determined they could afford, and learn and be helped in the process.") And since some OR libraries do sometimes send staff to the FIL, perhaps there is already some momentum to build upon? Deborah Gitlitz p.s. I haven't chimed in for quite a while, so for background: I was with Multnomah (MCL) for 15 years as a Bilingual Youth Librarian, including coordinating a bilingual family literacy grant for them for a couple years; and am delighted to be starting in October as the brand-new Outreach Librarian for Wilsonville. I also do some library consulting and work as a family and early literacy trainer. ____________ Deborah Gitlitz Outreach Librarian Wilsonville Public Library 8200 SW Wilsonville Road Wilsonville, OR 97070 > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Message: 1 > Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2015 23:50:09 +0000 > From: Barratt Miller > To: Ruth Metz , 'libs-or' > , "'uwmosaic at u.washington.edu'" > , "reforma_or at listsmart.osl.state.or.us > " > , " > REFORMANet at googlegroups.com" > , "grace at gracefullyglobal.com" > > Subject: Re: [Libs-Or] [REFORMANET] RE: Reading While White > Message-ID: > <727AAB8A6685F24886C5686916657C4C0302C5B0 at CCMAIL2010.cc1.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > > Hi everyone, > > I think Ruth?s suggestion is a great one!

Libraries across the county chipped into a pot and two staff from two different libraries went to purchase on behalf of the rest of the Cooperative. It was so successful as a county that we in Hillsboro are investing again, on our own, to send a staff person to supplement the collaborative purchasing -- it is very doable with the scholarships, as you mentioned.

(In brief: that some CA libraries formed a collaborative to send delegates to the Guadalajara Book Fair (aka the FIL) to buy materials and gather information on behalf of the greater group.) *Have* any Oregon libraries collaborated that way already? If not, I think it could be a worthwhile conversation to start. (I know that this thread caught the interest of some of the Clackamas LINCC directors...) Maybe we could pull it off in the future. Like Barratt, I might also be able to help consult, coordinate or strategize. I was fortunate when working for Multnomah as a bilingual youth librarian to attend the Guadalajara Book Fair a few times to select juvenile Spanish-language materials. Although it's true that some material, even there, is in translation (my favorites are the translations from the French -- French picture books can be so surreal and hilarious!), we typically found lots of terrific, Spanish-original, mostly Latino material that we simply couldn't get through any publishers or distributors state-side. It really enriched MCL's collection with materials reflecting and honoring the origins of many in our service population. I know that sending delegates to the FIL is simply outside budget likelihood for many libraries, but I think a combination of capitalizing on the scholarships available and some collaborative strategizing might really be do-able. (And on the simplest end, even if we just organized for FIL attendees to share lists of the best titles and other resources they found, it could be helpful, since at least some of the titles can be bought in the US. As Ruth said, "Not everyone could afford to send someone to Guadalajara, but every library could participate, spend what they determined they could afford, and learn and be helped in the process.") And since some OR libraries do sometimes send staff to the FIL, perhaps there is already some momentum to build upon? Deborah Gitlitz p.s. I haven't chimed in for quite a while, so for background: I was with Multnomah (MCL) for 15 years as a Bilingual Youth Librarian, including coordinating a bilingual family literacy grant for them for a couple years; and am delighted to be starting in October as the brand-new Outreach Librarian for Wilsonville. I also do some library consulting and work as a family and early literacy trainer. ____________ Deborah Gitlitz Outreach Librarian Wilsonville Public Library 8200 SW Wilsonville Road Wilsonville, OR 97070 > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Message: 1 > Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2015 23:50:09 +0000 > From: Barratt Miller > To: Ruth Metz , 'libs-or' > , "'uwmosaic at u.washington.edu'" > , > "reforma_or at listsmart.osl.state.or.us > " > , " > REFORMANet at googlegroups.com" > , "grace at gracefullyglobal.com" > > Subject: Re: [Libs-Or] [REFORMANET] RE: Reading While White > Message-ID: > <727AAB8A6685F24886C5686916657C4C0302C5B0 at CCMAIL2010.cc1.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > > Hi everyone, > > I think Ruth?s suggestion is a great one!

WCCLS sent two librarians last year and have budgeted to send two or three (depends upon how much purchasing they need to do) this year. We paid for what the scholarship didn't cover. Member libraries identified the amount to spend from their book budgets and types of materials (children's, adult, etc). The two librarians worked their tails off to spend the funds! This was not a vacation in Guadalajara! In the end, all libraries in WCCLS benefited by shared access to LOTS of new materials. If you want specifics please contact Stephanie Lind or Mart?n Blasco, WCCLS Outreach services for details. 503-681-5090 or 503-681-5093. Perhaps it's possible that several independent libraries could do the same thing - band together, identify what and how much to spend for each, and select a representative to go for you. Think outside the box!

Libraries across the county chipped into a pot and two staff from two different libraries went to purchase on behalf of the rest of the Cooperative. It was so successful as a county that we in Hillsboro are investing again, on our own, to send a staff person to supplement the collaborative purchasing -- it is very doable with the scholarships, as you mentioned.

(In brief: that some CA libraries formed a collaborative to send delegates to the Guadalajara Book Fair (aka the FIL) to buy materials and gather information on behalf of the greater group.) *Have* any Oregon libraries collaborated that way already? If not, I think it could be a worthwhile conversation to start. (I know that this thread caught the interest of some of the Clackamas LINCC directors...) Maybe we could pull it off in the future. Like Barratt, I might also be able to help consult, coordinate or strategize. I was fortunate when working for Multnomah as a bilingual youth librarian to attend the Guadalajara Book Fair a few times to select juvenile Spanish-language materials. Although it's true that some material, even there, is in translation (my favorites are the translations from the French -- French picture books can be so surreal and hilarious!), we typically found lots of terrific, Spanish-original, mostly Latino material that we simply couldn't get through any publishers or distributors state-side. It really enriched MCL's collection with materials reflecting and honoring the origins of many in our service population. I know that sending delegates to the FIL is simply outside budget likelihood for many libraries, but I think a combination of capitalizing on the scholarships available and some collaborative strategizing might really be do-able. (And on the simplest end, even if we just organized for FIL attendees to share lists of the best titles and other resources they found, it could be helpful, since at least some of the titles can be bought in the US. As Ruth said, "Not everyone could afford to send someone to Guadalajara, but every library could participate, spend what they determined they could afford, and learn and be helped in the process.") And since some OR libraries do sometimes send staff to the FIL, perhaps there is already some momentum to build upon? Deborah Gitlitz p.s. I haven't chimed in for quite a while, so for background: I was with Multnomah (MCL) for 15 years as a Bilingual Youth Librarian, including coordinating a bilingual family literacy grant for them for a couple years; and am delighted to be starting in October as the brand-new Outreach Librarian for Wilsonville. I also do some library consulting and work as a family and early literacy trainer. ____________ Deborah Gitlitz Outreach Librarian Wilsonville Public Library 8200 SW Wilsonville Road Wilsonville, OR 97070 > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Message: 1 > Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2015 23:50:09 +0000 > From: Barratt Miller > To: Ruth Metz , 'libs-or' > , "'uwmosaic at u.washington.edu'" > , > "reforma_or at listsmart.osl.state.or.us > " > , " > REFORMANet at googlegroups.com" > , "grace at gracefullyglobal.com" > > Subject: Re: [Libs-Or] [REFORMANET] RE: Reading While White > Message-ID: > <727AAB8A6685F24886C5686916657C4C0302C5B0 at CCMAIL2010.cc1.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > > Hi everyone, > > I think Ruth?s suggestion is a great one!

I'm so glad to hear that the collaborative purchasing model worked so well for WCCLS! I really would love to see something similar organized at the statewide level to support rural libraries who don't have the resources to pull this kind of project together on their own. While scholarships help, they aren't a panacea. Money isn't the only barrier small, rural libraries face. Some other things staff have to consider when assessing whether or not they can participate in these kinds of professional development opportunities: 1. Travel costs are higher and travel times longer for those of us who don't live near a major airport, so people living outside the Portland Metro area often need additional scholarship funds to cover extra plane flights, gas money, train or bus tickets, long-term parking, etc. 2. Smaller libraries usually have fewer employees. This means it's a bigger burden on the library for someone to be gone for a long period of time and there's less staff time available to plan such a big undertaking--especially if multiple libraries are involved. 3. Many small libraries lack staff members with expertise in services to the Latin@ community, which means they have to spend additional staff time researching for the trip and, in some cases, might struggle to select appropriate materials for their collections. If we (meaning members of Oregon's library community) want to strengthen library services to Spanish-speaking communities throughout the state, we need to acknowledge the fact that geographic and economic barriers make it challenging for some libraries to provide or improve those services. Asking the institutions with the fewest resources to "do more" won't solve an institutional problem affecting Oregon's rural library staff and our Latin@ communities. Organizing a statewide effort to help get quality Spanish books into ALL of Oregon's libraries is something we can do. Providing training opportunities like the Mock Belpre workshop (and making virtual attendance possible) is something we can do. Providing scholarships to attend a conference or buy a webcam is something we can do. If I had the resources to go to FIL, I'd volunteer! Unfortunately, I'm already up to my eyeballs in CSD responsibilities and can't add another thing to my professional development plate. As CSD Chair, though, I want to "put my money where my mouth is" and reiterate that a) CSD can provide a scholarship to cover some of the registration/travel costs and b) I'll help with the behind-the-scenes organization if someone is willing to go and purchase books for small libraries at FIL. >From what WCCLS librarians have said about their experience, it sounds totally doable! We just need a volunteer or two to actually DO it. Let me know if you can help us out!

WCCLS sent two librarians last year and have budgeted to send two or three (depends upon how much purchasing they need to do) this year. We paid for what the scholarship didn't cover. Member libraries identified the amount to spend from their book budgets and types of materials (children's, adult, etc). The two librarians worked their tails off to spend the funds! This was not a vacation in Guadalajara! In the end, all libraries in WCCLS benefited by shared access to LOTS of new materials. If you want specifics please contact Stephanie Lind or Mart?n Blasco, WCCLS Outreach services for details. 503-681-5090 or 503-681-5093. Perhaps it's possible that several independent libraries could do the same thing - band together, identify what and how much to spend for each, and select a representative to go for you.

Libraries across the county chipped into a pot and two staff from two different libraries went to purchase on behalf of the rest of the Cooperative. It was so successful as a county that we in Hillsboro are investing again, on our own, to send a staff person to supplement the collaborative purchasing -- it is very doable with the scholarships, as you mentioned.

(In brief: that some CA libraries formed a collaborative to send delegates to the Guadalajara Book Fair (aka the FIL) to buy materials and gather information on behalf of the greater group.) *Have* any Oregon libraries collaborated that way already? If not, I think it could be a worthwhile conversation to start. (I know that this thread caught the interest of some of the Clackamas LINCC directors...) Maybe we could pull it off in the future. Like Barratt, I might also be able to help consult, coordinate or strategize. I was fortunate when working for Multnomah as a bilingual youth librarian to attend the Guadalajara Book Fair a few times to select juvenile Spanish-language materials. Although it's true that some material, even there, is in translation (my favorites are the translations from the French -- French picture books can be so surreal and hilarious!), we typically found lots of terrific, Spanish-original, mostly Latino material that we simply couldn't get through any publishers or distributors state-side. It really enriched MCL's collection with materials reflecting and honoring the origins of many in our service population. I know that sending delegates to the FIL is simply outside budget likelihood for many libraries, but I think a combination of capitalizing on the scholarships available and some collaborative strategizing might really be do-able. (And on the simplest end, even if we just organized for FIL attendees to share lists of the best titles and other resources they found, it could be helpful, since at least some of the titles can be bought in the US. As Ruth said, "Not everyone could afford to send someone to Guadalajara, but every library could participate, spend what they determined they could afford, and learn and be helped in the process.") And since some OR libraries do sometimes send staff to the FIL, perhaps there is already some momentum to build upon? Deborah Gitlitz p.s. I haven't chimed in for quite a while, so for background: I was with Multnomah (MCL) for 15 years as a Bilingual Youth Librarian, including coordinating a bilingual family literacy grant for them for a couple years; and am delighted to be starting in October as the brand-new Outreach Librarian for Wilsonville. I also do some library consulting and work as a family and early literacy trainer. ____________ Deborah Gitlitz Outreach Librarian Wilsonville Public Library 8200 SW Wilsonville Road Wilsonville, OR 97070 > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Message: 1 > Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2015 23:50:09 +0000 > From: Barratt Miller > To: Ruth Metz , 'libs-or' > , "'uwmosaic at u.washington.edu'" > , > "reforma_or at listsmart.osl.state.or.us > " > , " > REFORMANet at googlegroups.com" > , "grace at gracefullyglobal.com" > > Subject: Re: [Libs-Or] [REFORMANET] RE: Reading While White > Message-ID: > <727AAB8A6685F24886C5686916657C4C0302C5B0 at CCMAIL2010.cc1.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > > Hi everyone, > > I think Ruth?s suggestion is a great one!

We have to make an effort to help small libraries better the services provided to their community. However, I think that for those library consortiums or cooperatives which already are buying books for several libraries is going to be difficult to add more orders from other libraries in the state. For those libraries which can afford to send attendees to the fair for acquiring titles for some or many small libraries, it will mean that the book fair attendees will need more hours a day to being able to get what is needed. Even consortiums or cooperative have restricted budgets to pay for the days librarians need in the fair. I would propose that libraries which can afford to send somebody to the FIL, even those libraries grouped as consortiums or cooperative/systems identify one small library which needs Spanish or bilingual titles and offer to help with buying titles. In this manner, it wouldn't be too much work for the attendees and it would facilitate the acquisition of material. As Barrat also mentioned, the Mock Pura Belpr? Award, can help this process through informative presentations, learning about how to select quality books that attend the needs of the Latino/Spanish speaking community and, during break, networking. OLA-CSD has offer a great opportunity to launch the first Mock Pura Belpr? Award which will take place at the Hillsboro Public Library - Main on Saturday, December 12 from 10 to 4 and everybody is welcome. We'll try, as suggested by Barratt to make "virtual attendance possible." As chair of the REFORMA Oregon Chapter and coordinator of the mock award, I'll start identifying libraries serving Latinos and Spanish speaking patrons and create a list so those bigger libraries and consortiums/cooperatives, may be able to help. I hope that these important conversation becomes the beginning of a needed service. Thank you Barrat!

I'm so glad to hear that the collaborative purchasing model worked so well for WCCLS! I really would love to see something similar organized at the statewide level to support rural libraries who don't have the resources to pull this kind of project together on their own. While scholarships help, they aren't a panacea. Money isn't the only barrier small, rural libraries face. Some other things staff have to consider when assessing whether or not they can participate in these kinds of professional development opportunities: 1. Travel costs are higher and travel times longer for those of us who don't live near a major airport, so people living outside the Portland Metro area often need additional scholarship funds to cover extra plane flights, gas money, train or bus tickets, long-term parking, etc. 2. Smaller libraries usually have fewer employees. This means it's a bigger burden on the library for someone to be gone for a long period of time and there's less staff time available to plan such a big undertaking--especially if multiple libraries are involved. 3. Many small libraries lack staff members with expertise in services to the Latin@ community, which means they have to spend additional staff time researching for the trip and, in some cases, might struggle to select appropriate materials for their collections. If we (meaning members of Oregon's library community) want to strengthen library services to Spanish-speaking communities throughout the state, we need to acknowledge the fact that geographic and economic barriers make it challenging for some libraries to provide or improve those services. Asking the institutions with the fewest resources to "do more" won't solve an institutional problem affecting Oregon's rural library staff and our Latin@ communities. Organizing a statewide effort to help get quality Spanish books into ALL of Oregon's libraries is something we can do. Providing training opportunities like the Mock Belpre workshop (and making virtual attendance possible) is something we can do. Providing scholarships to attend a conference or buy a webcam is something we can do. If I had the resources to go to FIL, I'd volunteer! Unfortunately, I'm already up to my eyeballs in CSD responsibilities and can't add another thing to my professional development plate. As CSD Chair, though, I want to "put my money where my mouth is" and reiterate that a) CSD can provide a scholarship to cover some of the registration/travel costs and b) I'll help with the behind-the-scenes organization if someone is willing to go and purchase books for small libraries at FIL. >From what WCCLS librarians have said about their experience, it sounds totally doable! We just need a volunteer or two to actually DO it. Let me know if you can help us out!

WCCLS sent two librarians last year and have budgeted to send two or three (depends upon how much purchasing they need to do) this year. We paid for what the scholarship didn't cover. Member libraries identified the amount to spend from their book budgets and types of materials (children's, adult, etc). The two librarians worked their tails off to spend the funds! This was not a vacation in Guadalajara! In the end, all libraries in WCCLS benefited by shared access to LOTS of new materials. If you want specifics please contact Stephanie Lind or Mart?n Blasco, WCCLS Outreach services for details. 503-681-5090 or 503-681-5093. Perhaps it's possible that several independent libraries could do the same thing - band together, identify what and how much to spend for each, and select a representative to go for you.

Libraries across the county chipped into a pot and two staff from two different libraries went to purchase on behalf of the rest of the Cooperative. It was so successful as a county that we in Hillsboro are investing again, on our own, to send a staff person to supplement the collaborative purchasing -- it is very doable with the scholarships, as you mentioned.

(In brief: that some CA libraries formed a collaborative to send delegates to the Guadalajara Book Fair (aka the FIL) to buy materials and gather information on behalf of the greater group.) *Have* any Oregon libraries collaborated that way already? If not, I think it could be a worthwhile conversation to start. (I know that this thread caught the interest of some of the Clackamas LINCC directors...) Maybe we could pull it off in the future. Like Barratt, I might also be able to help consult, coordinate or strategize. I was fortunate when working for Multnomah as a bilingual youth librarian to attend the Guadalajara Book Fair a few times to select juvenile Spanish-language materials. Although it's true that some material, even there, is in translation (my favorites are the translations from the French -- French picture books can be so surreal and hilarious!), we typically found lots of terrific, Spanish-original, mostly Latino material that we simply couldn't get through any publishers or distributors state-side. It really enriched MCL's collection with materials reflecting and honoring the origins of many in our service population. I know that sending delegates to the FIL is simply outside budget likelihood for many libraries, but I think a combination of capitalizing on the scholarships available and some collaborative strategizing might really be do-able. (And on the simplest end, even if we just organized for FIL attendees to share lists of the best titles and other resources they found, it could be helpful, since at least some of the titles can be bought in the US. As Ruth said, "Not everyone could afford to send someone to Guadalajara, but every library could participate, spend what they determined they could afford, and learn and be helped in the process.") And since some OR libraries do sometimes send staff to the FIL, perhaps there is already some momentum to build upon? Deborah Gitlitz p.s. I haven't chimed in for quite a while, so for background: I was with Multnomah (MCL) for 15 years as a Bilingual Youth Librarian, including coordinating a bilingual family literacy grant for them for a couple years; and am delighted to be starting in October as the brand-new Outreach Librarian for Wilsonville. I also do some library consulting and work as a family and early literacy trainer. ____________ Deborah Gitlitz Outreach Librarian Wilsonville Public Library 8200 SW Wilsonville Road Wilsonville, OR 97070 > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Message: 1 > Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2015 23:50:09 +0000 > From: Barratt Miller > To: Ruth Metz , 'libs-or' > , "'uwmosaic at u.washington.edu'" > , > "reforma_or at listsmart.osl.state.or.us > " > , " > REFORMANet at googlegroups.com" > , "grace at gracefullyglobal.com" > > Subject: Re: [Libs-Or] [REFORMANET] RE: Reading While White > Message-ID: > <727AAB8A6685F24886C5686916657C4C0302C5B0 at CCMAIL2010.cc1.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > > Hi everyone, > > I think Ruth?s suggestion is a great one!

We're doing some revisions to our Library Assistant certificate program at Linn-Benton Community College and am wondering if the Oregon Employment Dept's wage data and employment outlook seem correct / overly optimistic / understated. I'm hoping that some of you in the Willamette Valley, say between Woodburn/Wilsonville and Eugene/Creswell areas might look at the data in the attached tables and get back to me off-list as to: - Whether the wage data seems correct (based upon your own positions and recent listings you've seen) - Your own salary range for these positions - # of hires in these positions that you've made in the last 3 years - anticipated # of hires in these positions in the next 3 years These numbers can be rough - we're just looking for some estimates before going forward. Any information you're able to provide will be very valuable. Bryan Miyagishima, Linn-Benton Community College Library -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

If you are eager to make it work, it can be done. When the math is done on the total cost of the trip for a librarian to attend the book fair the end payment is not so unbearable. And if you work with other libraries it will be easier. It is just communication. I can see how REFORMA OR could help with the logistic process of the first time attendees. It could be done with some arrangements. When possible, librarians in the metro area that are attending the Guadalajara Book Fair (FIL) could provide a home stay of a night or two and a ride to the airport to those from other areas that do not have a convenient place near the airport. Some vendors provide a purchase helper who is bilingual; that will relieve the language barrier, although I have seen librarians who are at FIL with no language skills or help at all. REFORMA could help on giving guidelines for appropriate materials for a collection and may be even a mentorship.

We have to make an effort to help small libraries better the services provided to their community. However, I think that for those library consortiums or cooperatives which already are buying books for several libraries is going to be difficult to add more orders from other libraries in the state. For those libraries which can afford to send attendees to the fair for acquiring titles for some or many small libraries, it will mean that the book fair attendees will need more hours a day to being able to get what is needed. Even consortiums or cooperative have restricted budgets to pay for the days librarians need in the fair. I would propose that libraries which can afford to send somebody to the FIL, even those libraries grouped as consortiums or cooperative/systems identify one small library which needs Spanish or bilingual titles and offer to help with buying titles. In this manner, it wouldn't be too much work for the attendees and it would facilitate the acquisition of material. As Barrat also mentioned, the Mock Pura Belpr? Award, can help this process through informative presentations, learning about how to select quality books that attend the needs of the Latino/Spanish speaking community and, during break, networking. OLA-CSD has offer a great opportunity to launch the first Mock Pura Belpr? Award which will take place at the Hillsboro Public Library - Main on Saturday, December 12 from 10 to 4 and everybody is welcome. We'll try, as suggested by Barratt to make "virtual attendance possible." As chair of the REFORMA Oregon Chapter and coordinator of the mock award, I'll start identifying libraries serving Latinos and Spanish speaking patrons and create a list so those bigger libraries and consortiums/cooperatives, may be able to help. I hope that these important conversation becomes the beginning of a needed service. Thank you Barrat!

I'm so glad to hear that the collaborative purchasing model worked so well for WCCLS! I really would love to see something similar organized at the statewide level to support rural libraries who don't have the resources to pull this kind of project together on their own. While scholarships help, they aren't a panacea. Money isn't the only barrier small, rural libraries face. Some other things staff have to consider when assessing whether or not they can participate in these kinds of professional development opportunities: 1. Travel costs are higher and travel times longer for those of us who don't live near a major airport, so people living outside the Portland Metro area often need additional scholarship funds to cover extra plane flights, gas money, train or bus tickets, long-term parking, etc. 2. Smaller libraries usually have fewer employees. This means it's a bigger burden on the library for someone to be gone for a long period of time and there's less staff time available to plan such a big undertaking--especially if multiple libraries are involved. 3. Many small libraries lack staff members with expertise in services to the Latin@ community, which means they have to spend additional staff time researching for the trip and, in some cases, might struggle to select appropriate materials for their collections. If we (meaning members of Oregon's library community) want to strengthen library services to Spanish-speaking communities throughout the state, we need to acknowledge the fact that geographic and economic barriers make it challenging for some libraries to provide or improve those services. Asking the institutions with the fewest resources to "do more" won't solve an institutional problem affecting Oregon's rural library staff and our Latin@ communities. Organizing a statewide effort to help get quality Spanish books into ALL of Oregon's libraries is something we can do. Providing training opportunities like the Mock Belpre workshop (and making virtual attendance possible) is something we can do. Providing scholarships to attend a conference or buy a webcam is something we can do. If I had the resources to go to FIL, I'd volunteer! Unfortunately, I'm already up to my eyeballs in CSD responsibilities and can't add another thing to my professional development plate. As CSD Chair, though, I want to "put my money where my mouth is" and reiterate that a) CSD can provide a scholarship to cover some of the registration/travel costs and b) I'll help with the behind-the-scenes organization if someone is willing to go and purchase books for small libraries at FIL. >From what WCCLS librarians have said about their experience, it sounds totally doable! We just need a volunteer or two to actually DO it. Let me know if you can help us out!

WCCLS sent two librarians last year and have budgeted to send two or three (depends upon how much purchasing they need to do) this year. We paid for what the scholarship didn't cover. Member libraries identified the amount to spend from their book budgets and types of materials (children's, adult, etc). The two librarians worked their tails off to spend the funds! This was not a vacation in Guadalajara! In the end, all libraries in WCCLS benefited by shared access to LOTS of new materials. If you want specifics please contact Stephanie Lind or Mart?n Blasco, WCCLS Outreach services for details. 503-681-5090 or 503-681-5093. Perhaps it's possible that several independent libraries could do the same thing - band together, identify what and how much to spend for each, and select a representative to go for you.

Libraries across the county chipped into a pot and two staff from two different libraries went to purchase on behalf of the rest of the Cooperative. It was so successful as a county that we in Hillsboro are investing again, on our own, to send a staff person to supplement the collaborative purchasing -- it is very doable with the scholarships, as you mentioned.

(In brief: that some CA libraries formed a collaborative to send delegates to the Guadalajara Book Fair (aka the FIL) to buy materials and gather information on behalf of the greater group.) *Have* any Oregon libraries collaborated that way already? If not, I think it could be a worthwhile conversation to start. (I know that this thread caught the interest of some of the Clackamas LINCC directors...) Maybe we could pull it off in the future. Like Barratt, I might also be able to help consult, coordinate or strategize. I was fortunate when working for Multnomah as a bilingual youth librarian to attend the Guadalajara Book Fair a few times to select juvenile Spanish-language materials. Although it's true that some material, even there, is in translation (my favorites are the translations from the French -- French picture books can be so surreal and hilarious!), we typically found lots of terrific, Spanish-original, mostly Latino material that we simply couldn't get through any publishers or distributors state-side. It really enriched MCL's collection with materials reflecting and honoring the origins of many in our service population. I know that sending delegates to the FIL is simply outside budget likelihood for many libraries, but I think a combination of capitalizing on the scholarships available and some collaborative strategizing might really be do-able. (And on the simplest end, even if we just organized for FIL attendees to share lists of the best titles and other resources they found, it could be helpful, since at least some of the titles can be bought in the US. As Ruth said, "Not everyone could afford to send someone to Guadalajara, but every library could participate, spend what they determined they could afford, and learn and be helped in the process.") And since some OR libraries do sometimes send staff to the FIL, perhaps there is already some momentum to build upon? Deborah Gitlitz p.s. I haven't chimed in for quite a while, so for background: I was with Multnomah (MCL) for 15 years as a Bilingual Youth Librarian, including coordinating a bilingual family literacy grant for them for a couple years; and am delighted to be starting in October as the brand-new Outreach Librarian for Wilsonville. I also do some library consulting and work as a family and early literacy trainer. ____________ Deborah Gitlitz Outreach Librarian Wilsonville Public Library 8200 SW Wilsonville Road Wilsonville, OR 97070 > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Message: 1 > Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2015 23:50:09 +0000 > From: Barratt Miller > To: Ruth Metz , 'libs-or' > , "'uwmosaic at u.washington.edu'" > , > "reforma_or at listsmart.osl.state.or.us > " > , " > REFORMANet at googlegroups.com" > , "grace at gracefullyglobal.com" > > Subject: Re: [Libs-Or] [REFORMANET] RE: Reading While White > Message-ID: > <727AAB8A6685F24886C5686916657C4C0302C5B0 at CCMAIL2010.cc1.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > > Hi everyone, > > I think Ruth?s suggestion is a great one!

If you are eager to make it work, it can be done. When the math is done on the total cost of the trip for a librarian to attend the book fair the end payment is not so unbearable. And if you work with other libraries it will be easier. It is just communication. I can see how REFORMA OR could help with the logistic process of the first time attendees. It could be done with some arrangements. When possible, librarians in the metro area that are attending the Guadalajara Book Fair (FIL) could provide a home stay of a night or two and a ride to the airport to those from other areas that do not have a convenient place near the airport. Some vendors provide a purchase helper who is bilingual; that will relieve the language barrier, although I have seen librarians who are at FIL with no language skills or help at all. REFORMA could help on giving guidelines for appropriate materials for a collection and may be even a mentorship.

We have to make an effort to help small libraries better the services provided to their community. However, I think that for those library consortiums or cooperatives which already are buying books for several libraries is going to be difficult to add more orders from other libraries in the state. For those libraries which can afford to send attendees to the fair for acquiring titles for some or many small libraries, it will mean that the book fair attendees will need more hours a day to being able to get what is needed. Even consortiums or cooperative have restricted budgets to pay for the days librarians need in the fair. I would propose that libraries which can afford to send somebody to the FIL, even those libraries grouped as consortiums or cooperative/systems identify one small library which needs Spanish or bilingual titles and offer to help with buying titles. In this manner, it wouldn't be too much work for the attendees and it would facilitate the acquisition of material. As Barrat also mentioned, the Mock Pura Belpr? Award, can help this process through informative presentations, learning about how to select quality books that attend the needs of the Latino/Spanish speaking community and, during break, networking. OLA-CSD has offer a great opportunity to launch the first Mock Pura Belpr? Award which will take place at the Hillsboro Public Library - Main on Saturday, December 12 from 10 to 4 and everybody is welcome. We'll try, as suggested by Barratt to make "virtual attendance possible." As chair of the REFORMA Oregon Chapter and coordinator of the mock award, I'll start identifying libraries serving Latinos and Spanish speaking patrons and create a list so those bigger libraries and consortiums/cooperatives, may be able to help. I hope that these important conversation becomes the beginning of a needed service. Thank you Barrat!

I'm so glad to hear that the collaborative purchasing model worked so well for WCCLS! I really would love to see something similar organized at the statewide level to support rural libraries who don't have the resources to pull this kind of project together on their own. While scholarships help, they aren't a panacea. Money isn't the only barrier small, rural libraries face. Some other things staff have to consider when assessing whether or not they can participate in these kinds of professional development opportunities: 1. Travel costs are higher and travel times longer for those of us who don't live near a major airport, so people living outside the Portland Metro area often need additional scholarship funds to cover extra plane flights, gas money, train or bus tickets, long-term parking, etc. 2. Smaller libraries usually have fewer employees. This means it's a bigger burden on the library for someone to be gone for a long period of time and there's less staff time available to plan such a big undertaking--especially if multiple libraries are involved. 3. Many small libraries lack staff members with expertise in services to the Latin@ community, which means they have to spend additional staff time researching for the trip and, in some cases, might struggle to select appropriate materials for their collections. If we (meaning members of Oregon's library community) want to strengthen library services to Spanish-speaking communities throughout the state, we need to acknowledge the fact that geographic and economic barriers make it challenging for some libraries to provide or improve those services. Asking the institutions with the fewest resources to "do more" won't solve an institutional problem affecting Oregon's rural library staff and our Latin@ communities. Organizing a statewide effort to help get quality Spanish books into ALL of Oregon's libraries is something we can do. Providing training opportunities like the Mock Belpre workshop (and making virtual attendance possible) is something we can do. Providing scholarships to attend a conference or buy a webcam is something we can do. If I had the resources to go to FIL, I'd volunteer! Unfortunately, I'm already up to my eyeballs in CSD responsibilities and can't add another thing to my professional development plate. As CSD Chair, though, I want to "put my money where my mouth is" and reiterate that a) CSD can provide a scholarship to cover some of the registration/travel costs and b) I'll help with the behind-the-scenes organization if someone is willing to go and purchase books for small libraries at FIL. From what WCCLS librarians have said about their experience, it sounds totally doable! We just need a volunteer or two to actually DO it. Let me know if you can help us out!

WCCLS sent two librarians last year and have budgeted to send two or three (depends upon how much purchasing they need to do) this year. We paid for what the scholarship didn't cover. Member libraries identified the amount to spend from their book budgets and types of materials (children's, adult, etc). The two librarians worked their tails off to spend the funds! This was not a vacation in Guadalajara! In the end, all libraries in WCCLS benefited by shared access to LOTS of new materials. If you want specifics please contact Stephanie Lind or Mart?n Blasco, WCCLS Outreach services for details. 503-681-5090 or 503-681-5093. Perhaps it's possible that several independent libraries could do the same thing - band together, identify what and how much to spend for each, and select a representative to go for you.

Libraries across the county chipped into a pot and two staff from two different libraries went to purchase on behalf of the rest of the Cooperative. It was so successful as a county that we in Hillsboro are investing again, on our own, to send a staff person to supplement the collaborative purchasing -- it is very doable with the scholarships, as you mentioned.

(In brief: that some CA libraries formed a collaborative to send delegates to the Guadalajara Book Fair (aka the FIL) to buy materials and gather information on behalf of the greater group.) *Have* any Oregon libraries collaborated that way already? If not, I think it could be a worthwhile conversation to start. (I know that this thread caught the interest of some of the Clackamas LINCC directors...) Maybe we could pull it off in the future. Like Barratt, I might also be able to help consult, coordinate or strategize. I was fortunate when working for Multnomah as a bilingual youth librarian to attend the Guadalajara Book Fair a few times to select juvenile Spanish-language materials. Although it's true that some material, even there, is in translation (my favorites are the translations from the French -- French picture books can be so surreal and hilarious!), we typically found lots of terrific, Spanish-original, mostly Latino material that we simply couldn't get through any publishers or distributors state-side. It really enriched MCL's collection with materials reflecting and honoring the origins of many in our service population. I know that sending delegates to the FIL is simply outside budget likelihood for many libraries, but I think a combination of capitalizing on the scholarships available and some collaborative strategizing might really be do-able. (And on the simplest end, even if we just organized for FIL attendees to share lists of the best titles and other resources they found, it could be helpful, since at least some of the titles can be bought in the US. As Ruth said, "Not everyone could afford to send someone to Guadalajara, but every library could participate, spend what they determined they could afford, and learn and be helped in the process.") And since some OR libraries do sometimes send staff to the FIL, perhaps there is already some momentum to build upon? Deborah Gitlitz p.s. I haven't chimed in for quite a while, so for background: I was with Multnomah (MCL) for 15 years as a Bilingual Youth Librarian, including coordinating a bilingual family literacy grant for them for a couple years; and am delighted to be starting in October as the brand-new Outreach Librarian for Wilsonville. I also do some library consulting and work as a family and early literacy trainer. ____________ Deborah Gitlitz Outreach Librarian Wilsonville Public Library 8200 SW Wilsonville Road Wilsonville, OR 97070 > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Message: 1 > Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2015 23:50:09 +0000 > From: Barratt Miller > > To: Ruth Metz >, 'libs-or' > >, "'uwmosaic at u.washington.edu'" > >, > "reforma_or at listsmart.osl.state.or.us > " > >, " > REFORMANet at googlegroups.com" > >, "grace at gracefullyglobal.com" > > > Subject: Re: [Libs-Or] [REFORMANET] RE: Reading While White > Message-ID: > <727AAB8A6685F24886C5686916657C4C0302C5B0 at CCMAIL2010.cc1.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > > Hi everyone, > > I think Ruth?s suggestion is a great one!

Position Announcement The Oregon State University Libraries & Press (OSULP) invites applications for a full-time (1.0 FTE), 12-month, tenure-track Scholarly Communication Librarian/Assistant Professor position. Reporting to the Head of the Center for Digital Scholarship and Services, the successful candidate will implement services and instruction in support of the broadest possible dissemination, impact, and use of scholarly and intellectual output. The librarian will join an agile and innovative department and library that is responsible for the development of the ScholarsArchive at OSU institutional repository (the 36th ranked institutional repository in the world), internationally recognized digital collections, and robust faculty and student open access deposit services. The successful candidate will advise University faculty, students, and staff on copyright and fair use, and develop an education program for faculty, students, and staff about scholarly communication issues. The successful candidate will investigate and keep abreast of funder public access requirements and to that end, will work with faculty and staff in the Center to develop article deposit services in compliance with funder requirements and the University?s OA policy. The successful candidate will promote the use of the ScholarsArchive at OSU institutional repository and sustain development of the Libraries? scholarly communication web pages. OSU faculty librarians are committed to student success and demonstrate this by: delivering high-quality instruction; organizing information to promote discovery and meaning-making; building engaging physical and virtual learning spaces; collaborating with students and faculty to preserve and share the scholarly and creative output of the OSU community; and harnessing technology to create a research environment that supports inquiry, discovery and curiosity. As tenure-track faculty, OSU librarians actively contribute to the published literature and to their communities of practice. They publish in relevant peer-reviewed journals and other scholarly outlets, and also contribute to professional conversations at conferences, meetings and using social media. Faculty librarians serve their community and their profession in the library, on campus, and in professional organizations at the regional, national and international levels. OSU is located in beautiful Corvallis, one of the safest, greenest, and most environmentally responsible small cities in the U.S., ranked by NerdWallet as one of the country?s most innovative tech hubs. OSU has an institution-wide commitment to diversity. We actively engage in recruiting and retaining a diverse workforce and student body that includes members of historically underrepresented groups and strive to build a welcoming and supportive campus environment.
