Oregon Libraries Lost a Fierce Champion [https://www.oregon.gov/osl/LTLO/LTLOFeb2016/GeorgeBell.jpg]The Oregon library community lost a fierce champion when George Bell died on December 29, 2015. George served on the State Library Board from 1988 to 1995 and served as Chair of the Board in 1991-92 and 1994-95. George was an Honorary Life Member of the Oregon Library Association and was active in the Intellectual Freedom Committee and the Legislative Committee. For the last several years, George wrote a blog, Polwatch, which is required reading for insight into his intellect and passion. His obituary details his many other accomplishments. A celebration of a life well lived was held on Sunday, January 17th at the Salem Public Library. He was remembered by family and friends, including State Librarian Emeritus Jim Scheppke. Return to top of page State Library News The State Library Welcomes Rachel Kenny In October 2015, Rachel Kenny joined the Government Information and Library Services division as a Digitization Specialist. Previously, she worked with the Union Pacific Railroad Museum helping them digitize their photograph collection. Rachel moved to Salem from Omaha, Nebraska and is currently in her final semester for her Master of Arts Library Science Emphasis (MALS) with the University of Missouri. Though only with the Oregon State Library for a few months, she has contributed greatly to helping us establish digitization standards and prepare to migrate to a Digital Asset Management System. In addition to her work at the State Library, Rachel also spends her Fridays this semester at a practicum with Willamette University. It's Legislative (Short) Session Time Again in Oregon [https://www.oregon.gov/osl/LTLO/LTLOFeb2016/OregonLegislativeInformationSystem.png]Oregon's legislative short session convenes on Monday, February 1st. Given the five week schedule of the session, there's not much time to stay on top of legislation introduced during session. However, the Oregon Legislative Information System (OLIS) resource can be a huge help in monitoring bills of particular interest. OLIS is available from the Oregon State Legislature's website. The progress of bills and the work of committees can be "tracked" via the e-Subscribe service or RSS. The resource is near real-time which means meeting schedules, bill votes, and newly introduced legislation is available within a short amount of time. Live video feeds and audio archives are also available. Particularly useful is easy access to testimony presented by interested parties in support of or in opposition to a bill as well as session publications. Formerly elusive committee votes are also available. One last tip: Use The Oregonian's Your Government resource to obtain a "floor" voting record for individual legislators from both current and past legislative sessions. Financial Literacy Resources for Oregon Libraries [SmartMoneyWeek][FinancialLiteraryMonth]It's not too early to start planning for National Financial Literacy Month and Money Smart Week in April. The State Library has a new resource guide, Financial Literacy Resources for Libraries. The guide highlights free resources and tools for financial literacy activities in Oregon libraries, including training, best practices, and local contacts for developing library programs. Great resources are also available to libraries that sign up for Money Smart Week. Contact Arlene Weible, 503-378-5020 with any questions. New Content Coming to LearningExpress Library [LELLogo]LearningExpress Library will be adding a variety of new practice tests and tutorials over the next few months. Practices tests for 2016 SAT, ACT, and AP tests are included. A more detailed list is available in the latest Product Update. An updated file of MARC records for LearningExpress Library resources is also available. If you would like more information about this and other resources available from the Statewide Database Licensing Program, please visit our website or contact Arlene Weible, 503-378-5020. 2014-2015 Ready to Read Annual Report Now Available The 2014-2015 Ready to Read Annual Report and Best Practice Libraries report will soon be on the Ready to Read Grant webpage. The Ready to Read Annual Report is an analysis of the Ready to Read Final Reports submitted to the State Library every December. The State Library has established metrics that measure the effectiveness of the Ready to Read Grant Program. The metrics provide longitudinal data on public library youth services and public library usage statistics. 2014-2015 was the third time libraries selected a few outcomes from a list provided by the State Library. Outcome based evaluation allows public libraries to see how their efforts impact library services to children in Oregon, and serves as a tool for setting local youth service goals. The Best Practice Libraries report lists those libraries that provide all three youth services best practices: outreach, summer reading, and early literacy training for caregivers. 2014-2015 Outstanding Ready to Read Grant Projects Awarded Each year, the State Library staff recognizes several public libraries for their outstanding Ready to Read Grant projects. The criteria for this recognition are as follows: the library adheres to the original intent of the Ready to Read Grant, focuses on one or more of the three Ready to Read Grant best practices, promotes partnerships both in and out of the library, and creates a project that is replicable in other libraries, or enhances current library services. Libraries recognized for their Outstanding Ready to Read projects in 2014-2015 are the Cook Memorial Library (La Grande), Josephine Community Libraries, Mount Angel Public Library, Newberg Public Library, and West Linn Public Library. Celebrate 100 Years of Beverly Cleary [https://www.oregon.gov/osl/LTLO/LTLOFeb2016/Beezus_and_Ramona.jpg]Beloved Oregon author Beverly Cleary turns 100 years old on April 12, 2016. To celebrate, the State Library is partnering with the Oregon Library Association (OLA) and Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB) to provide libraries access to resources for planning activities and events this spring. Programming ideas are currently available on OLA's Children's Services Division website. OPB is filming a special Oregon Art Beat episode entirely dedicated to Cleary, including a new interview with her! The episode will be on the OPB website after it airs for school libraries to stream. OPB is producing DVDs of the episode for public libraries to host screenings and add to circulating collections. The State Library will ship the DVDs to public libraries the first week in April with bookmarks. Return to top of page Other Library News Umpqua Community College Library Named After Sue Shaffer [https://www.oregon.gov/osl/LTLO/LTLOFeb2016/SueShaffer.jpg]On January 22, 2016, the Foundation at Umpqua Community College held a short ceremony to name the UCC Library after Sue Shaffer. Sue's record of public service spans decades and includes service on state and national boards and commissions as well as numerous aspects of community life. She was a member of the Legislative Commission on Indian Services (1984-2011) representing the Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians, and served as its Vice-Chairwoman for a number of years. Since the 1980s, Sue has been involved politically at the local, state, and national levels, guiding four significant Cow Creek bills through Congress. She was a strong advocate for state laws strengthening the protection of archaeological sites, Indian burials, and historic preservation. Sue was the first woman to chair the Board of Trustees of Umpqua Community College, remaining a member for seventeen years. Information provided by the Legislative Commission on Indian Services.

Oregon State Hospital Museum of Mental Health - Preserves a storied past - sees a bright future [https://www.oregon.gov/osl/LTLO/LTLOFeb2016/OSHLogo.jpg]The Oregon State Hospital Museum of Mental Health (OSHMMH) currently occupies 2500 sq. feet of the historic Kirkbride building on the Oregon State Hospital campus in Salem. This special museum allows visitors to connect with the past by viewing artifacts to learn about the experiences of the people who both lived and worked in the hospital. The museum is currently building a collection of oral histories to bring to life the voices and memories of those who called this hospital home. The museum is managed by a private non-profit organization which has been tasked to manage the state artifacts of the Oregon State Hospital and all past and present hospital branches. The museum is staffed by volunteers and has recently hired a professional museum curator. A conversation with Megan Lallier-Barron, OSHMMH Curator, highlighted some of the interesting projects and challenges that the museum faces in preserving its history. One of these challenges is finding storage space for artifacts from demolished buildings, including those that represent the work and activities within a particular building. In the future, the museum would like to implement an outreach program which would include sending educational materials and perhaps traveling collections to schools and learning centers around Oregon to share the amazing history and life stories of the hospital with all Oregonians. Please visit their website to plan your visit and learn more about this wonderful museum.

(pardon the cross-posting) Announcement: research grant opportunity from the IMLS. Washington, DC-IMLS is inviting proposals for special grants for research on informal educational approaches that leverage Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) expertise within communities in the broadest sense. The STEM Expert Facilitation of Family Learning in Libraries and Museums, or STEMeX, initiative will provide grants up to $1,000,000 for projects of up to two years. The deadline for applications is May 1, 2016. Complete details are below.

The STEM Expert Facilitation of Family Learning in Libraries and Museums, or STEMeX, initiative will provide grants up to $1,000,000 for projects of up to two years. The deadline for applications is May 1, 2016. Through STEMeX, IMLS seeks design-based research projects that develop and explore models for inquiry-based STEM programs delivered by scientists, engineers, and related technical practitioners (STEM experts) to children ages 6-10 and their families. In particular, proposals should address the role of experts' oral narratives (e.g., storytelling, personal histories, and analogies) as part of object-based science inquiry. Proposals should include information about how findings from this research will be applicable in both museum and library settings. Funded research projects will create a foundation for reaching children and families from diverse geographic, economic, social, and cultural backgrounds, who have different levels of knowledge about STEM. This special initiative falls jointly under the National Leadership Grants for Libraries (NLG-Libraries) and National Leadership Grants for Museums (NLG-Museums) programs. National Leadership grants support projects that address challenges faced by the library and museum fields and that have the potential to advance practice in those fields with new tools, research findings, models, services, practices, or alliances that can be widely used, adapted, scaled, or replicated. "There is an opportunity to further define best practice models about how scientific and technical experts--whether medical researchers and road engineers or art conservators and dental hygienists--can successfully engage young children and their families in STEM activities and inspire interest in STEM-based careers. Every community has those experts to draw upon to enhance their informal educational STEM efforts. That is why I am particularly excited to announce this special funding initiative," said IMLS Director Dr. Kathryn K. Matthew. "There has already been fruitful and substantive work in this area, enabled by IMLS and others, and this effort will build on those prior investments. The research from this initiative will focus on maximizing the stories and narratives provided by STEM experts as part of programs offered by museums and libraries." Eligibility: Museums; libraries; public or private nonprofit agencies, organizations, or associations that engage in activities designed to advance libraries and museums may apply. In addition, institutions of higher education, including public and non-profit universities, are eligible. See the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for FY 2016 for full details. Webinars: To learn more, participate on one of these upcoming webinars: * Wednesday, February 17, 2016, 4:00 - 5:00 p.m. EST * Thursday, February 18, 2016, 3:00 - 4:00 p.m. EST See the IMLS website for information about joining the webinars.

Message-ID: This one is for the academic librarians. I am proposing a 3-credit, 200 level course in advanced library research at Portland Community College. There is a fair amount of paperwork in getting a new course approved with the school and the state, but it is much easier if there is already an approved course being offered by another instution. If there is one, we can hook our proposal onto the existing one. To my surprise, there is no statewide master list of approved courses. It was suggested I go through all the college catalogs, but before I do that, maybe you know if your school has an approved advanced research course If so, please tell me the school, department and course number, plus anything else you think might be germane.

We are writing to make you aware of a great resource for your library patrons available at www.CASHOregon.org. CASH Oregon is a nonprofit committed to providing FREE tax preparation services to low income people. We do this by supporting free volunteer tax sites and by providing access to free tax preparation software via our website. FREE TAX FILING ONLINE Unfortunately, many tax sites advertised as "free" are not trustworthy. They may have hidden charges. The sites listed on our website are completely free for both state and federal electronic filing as long as patrons meet the income qualifications. All the companies listed on our site belong to the Free File Alliance and are backed by Oregon's Department of Revenue and the IRS. CASH Oregon has collaborated with Intuit - the TurboTax people - since 2012. Intuit is a Free File Alliance member and offers an easy to use online application based on years as a market leader in tax preparation software. Our collective goal is to improve access to this great, free tool. Online Tax filing personalizes a return by asking questions to understand each unique tax situation. This helps insure that low-income taxpayers receive the Tax Credits they deserve. The most powerful anti-poverty program in the nation, EITC, along with the refundable portion of the Child Tax Credit lifted an estimated 10.1 million people out of poverty, including 5.3 million children. Unfortunately, only four of five people eligible for the credits claim them. Online tax preparation tools help determine if a taxpayer is eligible. Also on our website, you will find all the volunteer tax preparation sites in all parts of the state, providing a complete resource for your community at www.CASHOregon.org. The link is on the front page under Free Tax Sites. Attached to this email is a flyer on Free Online Tax Preparation that can also be used as well as a short article for your newsletter or website. If you would like a simple tutorial about these services, please contact us. If you have any questions about this service, please contact Camille McDaniel at CASH Oregon, Camille at CASHOregon.org or 503-243-7765, Ext. 2. Thank you for helping your community by making them aware of this important service.

It is important to us to offer useful formats that are both cost-effective and flexible. In order to keep our content relevant and available via platforms our members regularly use, we need your input. We know the communities and patrons you serve are diverse in so many ways and we are looking to be responsive to your community's unique composition. Our plan is to deliver a program manual that is genuinely helpful and regularly consulted. Your honest and open answers to these questions will help us know what our members need to plan and present a successful summer library program. Your response is vital for future planning and production of the manuals. We estimate the survey will take approximately 15 minutes for Member Librarians. Please respond by Saturday, February 20, 2016. You can find the survey by visiting https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/CSLPSurvey2016. If you have any questions about the content of the survey or experience any problems with the survey, please contact Matt McLain, mmclain at slcolibrary.org. Thank you for your time and attention!

Project Outcome for public libraries is a no-cost resource that may help! If you answer ?yes? to any of the following questions, then Project Outcome might be right for your public library! ? Do you have anxiety about conducting a proper outcome based evaluation? ? Does your public library need to do outcome based evaluation, but you don?t have the time or resources to do it from scratch? ? Are you struggling to find a good survey tool to gather information about your programs for outcome based evaluation reports? ? Are you unsure how to effectively analyze and present the results of an outcome based evaluation? ? Are you considering paying to subscribe to Impact Survey? Project Outcome is free for public libraries until at least 2017 (maybe longer!) and also gives public libraries free access to Impact Survey. Learn more: https://www.projectoutcome.org/ Interested in trying Project Outcome? Talk with your library director about it. All public library directors should have received this email on 11/5/2015. If you want more information about how Project Outcome aligns with what?s going on in the Oregon public library community, read on! If not, skip the rest of this email. Project Outcome evaluates four desired outcomes across seven types of library services and programs. The four outcomes evaluated are patrons? changes in 1) knowledge, 2) skills, 3) behavior, and 4) attitude as a result of using library services. The seven library service areas these four outcomes are evaluated in are: ? Civic/community engagement ? Digital inclusion ? Early childhood literacy ? Economic development ? Education and lifelong learning ? Job skills ? Summer reading (all ages!) As an Oregon public library, you might use Project Outcome to conduct outcome based evaluations associated with: ? Edge Initiative (digital inclusion, education and lifelong learning, job skills) ? Ready to Read grant (early childhood literacy, summer reading) ? Statewide databases (education and lifelong learning, job skills) ? Optional: Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) competitive grants (Project Outcome service areas would vary depending on your LSTA grant) Questions about using Project Outcome for statewide programs?

As I mentioned in my last email, the presenter that we had for this meeting cannot make it because of personal reasons. This is going to give us more time to focus in our next steps, and as usual we?ll share experiences and concerns related to our work. One of the points in the agenda is the formation of committees. This does not mean that we have to work more, it?s just sharing the work and the responsibilities for our chapter to be successful. An example is a committee to work in the Mock Pura Belpr? Award. Thanks to the support of the Children Services Division of OLA, the first mock award was launched in December. Because of the positive outcome of this program and the significant number of librarians who attended the event, REFORMA Oregon will take the baton. I really enjoyed collaborating with librarians from all over the state and I would like to keep doing this (by the way, Oregon was the only state which organized a Mock Pura Belpr? Awards last year). It?s not much work, we only need your enthusiasm. In the meeting we?ll discuss the responsibilities and the why the need of these committees. Our chapter has demonstrated the quality of our work and we have received plenty of positive feedback to the point of being invited to be part of OLA as a round table. We all are doing a great job. Please, let me know if you are coming so I can arrange logistics. If you cannot go to Corvallis but you cannot travel, we can arrange virtual participation. Again, let me know if you?re attending. I?m looking forward to see you there!

If this book sounds interesting, then you might want to look into Project Outcome, a set of free tools for public libraries to evaluate their services and programs, and ask your library director about participating. [https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qvxIU6lvFUA/VrUkud_VhXI/AAAAAAAAAp0/VqvhTu3Eag0/s1600/GrossFS_300.jpg] Five Steps of Outcome-Based Planning and Evaluation for Public Libraries by Melissa Gross, Cindy Mediavilla, and Virginia A. Walter. 2016. Chicago, IL: ALA Editions. 978-0-8389-1404-5. Planning and assessment are both crucial elements of a public library that functions efficiently and flexibly. So why are they often treated as separate processes? This concise book combines planning and evaluation in a holistic approach, helping public library managers and staff put library resources to work for the community. Based on a series of successful workshops, the workflow presented by the authors is made up of manageable steps for integrating outcome-based planning and evaluation (OBPE) into the routine functions of the public library. Offering step by step guidance that's transparent and easy to follow, this book * introduces the concept of OBPE and explains how it can be a streamlined, effective method of getting library users' feedback; * defines "outcomes" and shows why public libraries should use them to plan and evaluate services; * shares methodologies for assessing community needs and interests, including key informant interviews, surveys, focus groups, and environmental scans; * demonstrates how to use community assessment data to create outcome statements that not only guide the creation of new library services, but also provide targets for measuring the effectiveness of those services; * offers techniques for designing services that directly serve the community while also achieving the outcomes the library has targeted; and * provides tips for sharing the results with stakeholders and maximizing successful outcome-based programs to leverage the library's role in the community. Featuring plentiful examples of how to proceed through each phase of the OBPE model, this book boils down planning and evaluation into an approachable, easy to understand process for public librarians, library managers, and grant writers.

With four physical locations on campus and an even larger digital footprint, with digital-library collections including over 10 million items, the Libraries were one of the first to archive web sites, one of the founding members of the Library Publishing Coalition, and the first non-federal library to participate in the Federal Information Preservation Network (FIPNet). Since 2010 the Libraries host an annual open-access symposium with speakers from around the world, and the Libraries are the driving force behind the Cross Timbers Library Collaborative, which brings together library staff from across the region for professional development and collaboration. The Libraries receive about $1 million per year in funding from grants and foundations. Reporting to and working in close collaboration with the Assistant Dean for Scholarly Communication, the Scholarly Communication Librarian will contribute to the Libraries? efforts to educate users about the transformation of scholarly communication and foster a more sustainable publishing ecosystem. *Responsibilities* - Coordinate publishing projects for UNT Libraries Scholarly Publishing Services, especially by managing freelance editors and designers and communicating with authors. - Coordinate subsidized, revenue-generating publishing projects designed to raise awareness of the unique collections of the Libraries. - Consult with UNT researchers on developing data management plans and on using the DMPTool. - With support from the Libraries?

To apply, please visit http://facultyjobs.unt.edu/applicants/Central?quickFind=52362 More on why you should be interested in the position *Denton, Texas* The city of Denton is located about 40 miles from both Dallas and Fort Worth, in a region of nearly 7 million people, and even closer to two major hub airports: Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport and Dallas Love Field. It is home to two public universities: the University of North Texas (the largest and most comprehensive university in the region, with over 37,000 students and 115 graduate degree programs) and Texas Woman?s University (the nation?s largest university primarily for women, with approximately 15,000 students). Like any other college town, Denton has plenty of coffee shops, yoga studios, natural-food stores, and funky eateries, but it distinguishes itself with its active music scene. Each year sees the opening of new upscale bars, restaurants, and coffee shops. The main campuses of both universities are located about a mile from the Downtown Square, containing the historic Denton County courthouse and surrounding park and independent businesses, including Recycled , a 17,000-square-foot store selling used books, music, and film. Both campuses are quite compact and walkable, and UNT especially has a number of places to grab lunch just off campus. The climate is generally quite sunny, and summers, while hot, are also quite arid. A few cool thing about Denton: - Denton was the first city in Texas to ban fracking, though the law was preempted by a state law stripping the power of municipalities to regulate oil and gas extraction. - You can legally bring and consume alcoholic beverages (but not in glass containers) to the free Twilight Tunes concerts on the Downtown Square and to festivals such as Denton Arts and Jazz Fest and the Denton Blues Festival. *UNT* While UNT began as a teacher-training college, it has long been known for its College of Music, the largest in the nation. In many ways UNT has the feel of an art school: an alternative student body, a strong commitment to sustainability and LEED-certified construction, and a mediocre athletic program. The first all-vegan dining hall (Mean Greens) is located on campus and is popular with not just students but also faculty and staff. There?s a number of other places to grab lunch just off campus. While freshmen who just graduated from high school are required to live on campus, the university accepts a large number of transfer students. The student body is incredibly diverse, with many first-generation college students. In 2011 UNT became the first public university in Texas to implement a campus open-access policy . *The UNT Libraries* The UNT Libraries have four physical locations on campus but an even larger digital footprint, with digital-library collections including over 10 million items?many in the Portal to Texas History , which has millions of online users each year. The Libraries are a world leader in web archiving and are the first non-federal library to participate in the Federal Information Preservation Network (FIPNet) . Since 2010 the Libraries host an annual open-access symposium with speakers from around the world, and our dean of libraries is the driving force behind the Cross Timbers Library Collaborative, which brings together library staff from across the region for professional development and collaboration. The Libraries receive about $1 million per year in funding from grants and foundations. Quite a few members of the UNT Libraries staff have been hired in the past few years. Of those who live in Denton, a good number bike or walk to work, and a handful of us can be found at lunchtime at Mean Greens. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Never mind where llamas get their cash, but libraries in every state in the nation benefit from funds allocated by Congress for the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA), the only federally funded program specifically dedicated to supporting libraries. Last year, libraries received just under $183 million in LSTA funding, about $156 million of which flowed to states as matching grants.

Given that it is Fat Tuesday, I will simply add *Laissez les bons temps rouler!* -- _________________________________ John F. Helmer Executive Director Orbis Cascade Alliance jhelmer at orbiscascade.org 541.246.2470 ext 205 Date of release: February 9, 2016 *Whitworth University joins** the Orbis Cascade Alliance* EUGENE, Ore. ? The Orbis Cascade Alliance is pleased to announce that Whitworth University has joined the Alliance, becoming its 38th member. Whitworth has long been a participant in selected Alliance services, applied for membership last year, and finalized membership in February 2016. The university is currently engaged in a migration project and is expected to join the Orbis Cascade Alliance shared integrated library system (ILS) in June 2016. ?We are very pleased and honored to welcome Whitworth University,? said Faye A. Chadwell, chair of the Alliance board of directors, Donald and Delpha Campbell university librarian, and Oregon State University press director. ?In voting to offer membership, the Council of deans and directors felt strongly that Whitworth University is a good fit for membership and shares the strong commitment to deep collaboration that typifies membership in the Orbis Cascade Alliance.? ?Whitworth University is proud to join the Alliance,? said Amanda C. R. Clark, Director of the Library and Assistant Professor of Art History. ?The library is in the midst of a building process that includes a new library faculty position, creation of an institutional repository, and now membership in the Orbis Cascade Alliance. Whitworth University looks forward to working with public and private colleges and universities across Washington, Oregon, and Idaho while strengthening library services in the Spokane area.? In her announcement to Alliance members, Chadwell noted that ?Whitworth University will be the first new member since 2011 and the first to join since implementation of our ground-breaking shared ILS. It is exciting to have such a strong new member and key academic institution join from eastern Washington. Whitworth?s membership in the Alliance is an important event in the history of the Northwest?s preeminent library consortium.? *About Whitworth University* Since 1890, Whitworth has held fast to its founding mission to provide "an education of mind and heart" through rigorous intellectual inquiry guided by dedicated Christian scholars. Recognized as one of the top regional colleges and universities in the West, Whitworth University has an enrollment of 3,000 students and offers 60 undergraduate and graduate degree programs. In recent years, Whitworth has enjoyed record levels of student enrollment and retention, the strongest financial position in the university's history, and increased external visibility. Whitworth University's 200-acre campus of red-brick buildings and tall pines offers a beautiful, inviting and secure learning environment. More than $110 million in campus improvements have been made in recent years, including an expanded dining hall, a rec center, a science hall, a center for the visual arts, three residence halls and an intramural sports field. In all of its endeavors, Whitworth seeks to advance its founder's mission of equipping students to "honor God, follow Christ and serve humanity." *About Orbis Cascade Alliance* The Orbis Cascade Alliance is a consortium of 38 academic institutions in Oregon, Washington and Idaho that serves faculty and the equivalent of more than 275,000 full-time students. The Alliance helps member libraries to advance institutional missions through collaboration and innovation. Members join together their expertise in seeking efficiency and productivity to strongly promote the success of students, faculty, staff and researchers. They bring multiple perspectives together to challenge traditional thinking and elevate the ability to deliver outstanding services, programs and collections. The Alliance supports a number of programs that promote this vision including a shared resource management and discovery system; standardized policies and collaborative workflows; a service that allows students, faculty and staff to easily search and request library materials owned by member libraries; courier service providing delivery of library materials in Oregon, Washington and Idaho; enhanced access to archival and manuscript collections in Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Utah and Washington through a union database of finding aids; an Alliance-distributed print repository; cooperative purchasing of databases and e-journals; and demand-driven and licensed e-book collections. www.whitworth.edu www.orbiscascade.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The answer is: Some, but not a lot. Eastern Oregon University is the leader in this area, offering three classes: LIBRARY COURSE DESCRIPTIONS LIB 127 - Information Literacy*GTW (Credits:3) Gen Ed Core-Gateway This course covers the basic concepts and skills of information literacy, the research process, critical thinking skills, and ethical aspects of information; Students are introduced to characteristics, formats and organization of information; and are provided with practical experience in the use of the academic library. Course content also includes electronic resources such as journal databases, search engines and directories. LIB 307 - Online Research: Trends, Tools & Techn*SMI (Credits: 2) Gen Ed Core-Natural, Math & Info Sciences Course covers advanced search strategies, techniques, and critical evaluation of information systems such as catalogs, databases, search engines, user generated content, and websites. Students will examine current issues and trends relevant to locating information on the internet. Students must have at least sophomore standing to register for this course. LIB 327 - Research Topic Exploration*SMI (Credits: 2) Gen Ed Core-Natural, Math & Info Sciences Advanced research techniques are introduced and reviewed; assisting students with preparing for capstone, thesis, papers, and other culminating academic work. Covers the basic concepts of research question development, topic exploration, structure and searching of online databases; use of the Internet and the World Wide Web; critical evaluation of literature in the disciplines and creation of an annotated bibliography. Prerequisite: LIB 127 recommended or basic library database search skills. These are all older catalog descriptions that need to be updated, but at least you can get an idea of the focus of each class. The two 300 level classes are only taught online, and we are mainly serving non-traditional, online transfer students with those. The other response I got was from Lewis and Clark college, where there is a course in advanced library research that is paired with a history internship course. Hist 244. Dan Kelley and Kate Rubick have written a book chapter on how they developed this course, soon to appear in a library near you.

Ross Fuqua's quick work seems to be the most current (2013), authoritative, and specific regarding Oregon public libraries with 225 showing; OSL directed me to a similar 2011 map (using the IMLS Data Catalog) but that one contains public, academic, and special libraries with 325 showing. 2013 map: https://data.imls.gov/Research-Statistical-/Oregon-Public-Libraries-FY2013-Outlet-data/9vyy-a3b9 2011 map: https://data.oregon.gov/Education/Oregon-Library-Map/gt2t-n3u4 The suggestion to use Google Maps, searching "Oregon public libraries," was also a good one (ah, Google, how I love/hate you) but not sure how I feel about relying solely on them for accuracy... Finally, thanks to Liz Paulus for sharing my enthusiasm for such a tool; although the IMLS application appears to do the job, I'm pretty sure I'd stumble trying to make it work on my own...it'd be pretty cool if one could simply go to the OLA or OSL or Oregon Libraries website for a direct link to a current map! Perhaps someone's wheels are turning? Thank you again!

We need your presence! Attached you?ll find the agenda the meeting in Corvallis (The Valley Library ?OSU campus- , 210 SW Waldo Place; Sat., Feb. 20), and the minutes from our meeting in Redmond. As I mentioned in my last email, the presenter that we had for this meeting cannot make it because of personal reasons. This is going to give us more time to focus in our next steps, and as usual we?ll share experiences and concerns related to our work. One of the points in the agenda is the formation of committees. This does not mean that we have to work more, it?s just sharing the work and the responsibilities for our chapter to be successful. An example is a committee to work in the Mock Pura Belpr? Award. Thanks to the support of the Children Services Division of OLA, the first mock award was launched in December. Because of the positive outcome of this program and the significant number of librarians who attended the event, REFORMA Oregon will take the baton. I really enjoyed collaborating with librarians from all over the state and I would like to keep doing this (by the way, Oregon was the only state which organized a Mock Pura Belpr? Awards last year). It?s not much work, we only need your enthusiasm. In the meeting we?ll discuss the responsibilities and the the need of these committees. Our chapter has demonstrated the quality of our work and we have received plenty of positive feedback to the point of being invited to be part of OLA as a round table. We all are doing a great job. Please, let me know if you are coming so I can arrange logistics. If you cannot attend the meeting, we can arrange virtual participation. Again, let me know if you?re attending. I?m looking forward to see you there!

When we switched to RFID, I asked the vendor, 3M again if there would be any issues with the radio frequency and pacemakers and they again said there would be no problem. So I presented the new gates to the concerned patron as a great improvement and safer. She cautiously ventured through and had no problem. We don't have any signs posted as it is not an issue.

I have been passionately in love with libraries since I was about 6 years old. I founded the Library Club in 7th Grade (really). I worked as a circulation clerk through college at the Normal Public Library in Normal, IL (the most misnamed town in America). I founded an all-volunteer library in rural Arivaca, AZ. I worked as a clerk and graduate assistant at the Graduate Library of the University of Illinois, in Urbana-Champaign. After a couple of other hops and skips, I became director of the county library system in Douglas County, Colorado, then ranked as one of the worst public libraries in the state. Sixteen years later, it was ranked as one of the top public libraries not just in the nation, but globally. For a couple of years, I teamed up with some talented associates as a writer, speaker, and consultant. As of January, 2016, I have accepted a position as the director of the American Library Association's Office for Intellectual Freedom, and the Freedom to Read Foundation. http://www.jlarue.com/ ________________________________ [https://libraryfreedomproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Photo-on-7-13-15-at-1.32-PM-300x209.jpg] Alison Macrina Director, Library Freedom Project @flexlibris Alison Macrina is a librarian, privacy activist, and the founder and director of the Library Freedom Project, an initiative which aims to make real the promise of intellectual freedom in libraries by teaching librarians and their local communities about surveillance threats, privacy rights and law, and privacy-protecting technology tools to help safeguard digital freedoms. Alison is passionate about connecting surveillance issues to larger global struggles for justice, demystifying privacy and security technologies for ordinary users, and resisting an internet controlled by a handful of intelligence agencies and giant multinational corporations.

Registration for the free, online conference "Big Talk From Small Libraries 2016" is now open! More information below, registration is free but required and there are limited "seats" available. Scroll down to the register button on this page: http://nlc.nebraska.gov/scripts/calendar/eventshow.asp?ProgId=14868 Big Talk From Small Libraries 2016 will be held on Friday, February 26, 2016 between 8:45 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. (CT) (6:45 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. PT) via the GoToWebinar online meeting service. We've been listening! A comment we've heard pretty often is that so many presentations at conferences seem to be by and for librarians from larger libraries. Well, Big Talk From Small Libraries will change that. This free one-day online conference is aimed at librarians from small libraries; the smaller the better. Each of our speakers will be from a small library or directly works with small libraries. Topics will range from technology (new tech and old tech) to programming to new roles for the library. Come for the programs on what you're dealing with now, or maybe try something new. Everyone is welcome to register and attend, regardless of how big or small their library is, but if your library serves a few thousand people, or a few hundred, this is the day for you. Big Talk From Small Libraries 2016 will be broadcast online using the GoToWebinar online meeting service. GoToWebinar login instructions will be e-mailed to registered attendees the day before the conference. Please see the NLC Online Sessions webpage for detailed information about GoToWebinar, including system requirements and firewall configuration. This conference is organized and hosted by Christa Burns and Craig Lefteroff of the Nebraska Library Commission and is co-sponsored by the Association for Rural & Small Libraries. More details can be found @ http://nlcblogs.nebraska.gov/bigtalk/ Cheers!

Message-ID: Greetings! Both of these webinars look to be very interesting, registration is free and open for both! Purposeful Innovation: Idea Engagement for Libraries Tuesday, March 15, 2016 / 12 pm Pacific / 60 min Registration: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/purposeful-innovation-idea-management-for-libraries.html Sooner or later, all libraries need to realign or reinvent services and workflows to respond to shifting community needs, but there's often a disconnect between ideas generated by staff on the front lines and the decisions made by management. Imagine a library where all staff feel empowered to submit, vote and comment on service and workflow ideas. To reach this ideal, Sno-Isle Libraries (WA) has embraced the idea management process in order to consider and approve ideas holistically, for cost, benefit and time, and before a heavy investment of resources. Sno-Isle Libraries realized that building a collaborative, transparent framework to support workflows, change, ideas and community engagement is essential to creating a culture of purposeful innovation. During this webinar, you'll gain a clear understanding of the "what" and "why" of idea management, hear lessons learned, and leave with tools to empower staff to lead from any position by sharing their ideas. Presented by: Christa Werle, Public Services Project Manager, Sno-Isle Libraries, Washington Incubate Creativity at Your Library Tuesday, April 19, 2016 / 12 pm Pacific / 60 min Registration: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/incubate-creativity-at-your-library.html The Library as Incubator Project (LAIP) promotes the library as a place to connect and create. LAIP has networked with hundreds of libraries who are working with their communities to incubate and inspire creative projects. They have talked with scores of artists, writers, makers, performers, and other creatives about how they use their libraries and how their libraries can serve them even better. In this webinar, LAIP shares program and project ideas, resources and case studies to turn your library into a creativity incubator. Take the workable, scalable programming and resource framework from LAIP and become a hub for supporting creatives of all types and skill levels in your community.

Emma Goldman once said "If I can't dance, I won't be a part of your revolution." The folks at Anythink Libraries in Colorado would have made Emma proud. They have made music central to their branding efforts and transformed one of the poorest performing library systems into one of the best.

This position will focus 50% of its time providing reference and information services and 50% on the development of Open Educational Resources (OER). The OER work will entail working closely with campus faculty, eLearning, and other librarians: to develop initiatives around the merging of library and open content resources, to advocate for the adoption of these resources in the curriculum, to identify partners and foster collaborative opportunities for this work, and to develop strategies for engagement with faculty and in other developing program areas. Faculty Librarians are responsible for providing reference and information services to students and promoting information literacy instruction and library services to the College community; they work closely with other librarians and staff to ensure that reference, instructional and collection development activities are coordinated and focused on student learning outcomes. They design and teach credit-bearing library science courses linked to pre-college and college level courses. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

How are libraries responding to the increasing complexities of data tracking and desires for data-informed services and marketing? According to Jonathan Hern?ndez, associate researcher in the Library and Information Institute at National Autonomous University of Mexico, ?The library must remain as a neutral and diverse place in which our freedoms are protected.? The very important and timely topic of privacy is the focus of the Library 2.016 Worldwide Virtual Conference , co-founded by the School of Information at San Jose State University (SJSU). During the online event, scheduled for Wednesday, March 16, 2016, from 12 ? 3 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time, you?ll hear from five exceptional keynote speakers: Hern?ndez; Jamie Larue, director of the American Library Association?s (ALA) Office of Intellectual Freedom; Deborah Caldwell-Stone, deputy director of the ALA Office of Intellectual Freedom; Alison Macrina, director of the Library Freedom Project; and Lee Rainie, director of Internet, science, and technology research at Pew Research Center. In addition, information professionals and encouraged to share their expertise and present at the conference. Presentation proposals are now being accepted. Presentations should be at least 15 minutes in length, and all sessions must be completed (including Q&A) within 25 minutes. Slots are limited, and may fill before the final March 11, 2016 deadline for proposals. The Library 2.016 online conference will take place via Blackboard Collaborate and is free to attend.

The theme for this year's IL Summit is "Collaboration," but we invite a variety of presentations related to information literacy. The theme of "Collaboration" could take many forms, including collaboration among different types of libraries/librarians (e.g. academic, public, school), across the curriculum, and/or examples of successful outreach and collaboration between librarians and external stakeholders. Though public, school, and academic libraries serve different populations, we still all have one goal in common: to provide support to our users in order to help them be successful. One way we can do this is through the collaborative relationships we build within our communities. When librarians are able to collaborate with teachers or instructors, and certainly with each other, students reap the benefits. The IL Summit typically has 60-80 attendees who come from many areas of practice (higher ed, public, K-12) and are eager to hear new ideas and ways to approach information literacy. We invite you to submit proposals for panels, presentations, discussions on best practices, and other programs. Programs should be designed to run for a total of 45 minutes including Q&A; longer programs/workshops will be considered on a case-by-case basis (if a longer program/workshop is desired, please include that in the Comments field). Program proposals will be accepted until March 4, 2016. Please submit your proposals here: ILAGO IL Summit Program Proposal Please visit https://ilago.wordpress.com for more information on our organization. We look forward to hearing from you.

For well over a decade, Scholastic has published a compendium called School Libraries Work!, and they updated it in 2016. To download your free copy, go to http://www.scholastic.com/SLW2016/index.htm. After you enter your name and work info, you will receive a download passcode by email. This is how Scholastic describes the 30-page resource: School Libraries Work! seeks to empower librarians, classroom teachers, school and district leaders, policy makers, parents and communities by arming them with the most powerful research-based frameworks, recommendations, and support for school library programs. The 2016 compendium updates and builds upon the 2008 edition, reinforcing the most relevant themes from that report while highlighting recent research at both the national and state levels. All told, the research included in this compendium continues to show that school libraries and school librarians are a powerful force in the lives of America's children. As a side note, pages 23 and 28 reference the 2001 Oregon study done by Keith Curry Lance and others. School Libraries Work! could be useful to those who are trying to explain or demonstrate the value of strong school library programs to school and district administrators, parent or community groups, and more.

During the pre-conference sessions, in the next 2016 OLA Conference in Bend, REFORMA Oregon Round Table is presenting ??Bienvenidos a la biblioteca!: Outreach and Engagement with Latino and Spanish Speaking Populations in Your Communities.? (https://orlib16.sched.org/) In this half day session, you will learn about REFORMA Oregon, what it has to offer and how you can become involved; you will also hear stories of how librarians are building relationships with their Latino and Spanish speaking communities, their successes and lessons learned; and you will gain outreach strategies, program ideas, and information about resources specific to the Latino and Spanish speaking populations. We will also include time for you to share your needs to better serve this diverse community, and together, we will develop ideas for an action plan. This presentation is open to anyone who is interested in improving, or beginning, specific outreach work, services and programs. The REFORMA Oregon Chapter promotes the advancement, growth, improvement, and implementation of library and information services to the Latino and the Spanish speaking community in the State of Oregon.

I'm forwarding this on behalf of the Conference Programming Committee Chair of the Association for Rural and Small Libraries Conference 2016, Becky Heil: Does your library go "beyond normal"? If so, the Association for Rural & Small Libraries (ARSL) is accepting proposals for break-out session presentations for the 2016 Conference to be held in Fargo, North Dakota on October 27-29, 2016. The theme for ARSL 2016 is "North of Normal" and we'd like to hear about creative ideas that take your library beyond normal. Proposals for these 1-hour sessions can be submitted using our online form. The deadline to submit is March 21, 2016 in order for the Conference Programming Committee to review and make selections. Those who submit a proposal will be notified whether or not their proposal was accepted by April 15, 2016. We remind presenters that workshops must be geared toward the small and rural library audience, and those that are practical, hands-on, and how-to are preferred. This is not the proper venue for post-graduate dissertations or marketing products. Additional instructions are included on the form. Workshop presenters will receive ONE complimentary conference registration per workshop title selected, i.e. a team of three presenters working on one workshop will receive one complimentary registration. We also suggest you watch our website www.arsl.info or our Facebook and Twitter streams for the latest conference news! The committee is looking forward to receiving your submissions. Good Luck!

The Maine State Library is seeking programming guides covering any and all topics and program types (including STEM). Please see below: Hello all! Thanks to everyone who has responded to my earlier message about examples of STEM programming guides. I would like to widen the call for examples by including any and all types of guides used in your libraries. For example, if you are familiar with guides to working with patrons on the autism spectrum, guides for helping to implement the Aspen Report, etc... any type of guide that gives a roadmap, that you're finding useful in your work life. The reason I ask is the Maine State Library has an IMLS funded 30-month project to produce a field-tested, replicable science literacy model and methods for the nation's State Library Agencies and their 9,000 public libraries. The final step in the project is to produce a step-by-step guide on how to enhance the abilities of SLAs to work successfully with public libraries to build their science literacy capacity. Examples of good guides that are being used by you will be helpful in developing a successful end product for this project. Again, thanks to all who've contributed thus far. I look forward to seeing additional suggestions!

The ALA Task Force on Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion was created in the spring of 2014 by then ALA President Barbara Stripling. Before moving forward with programs, actions or recommendations, the members of the Task Force on Equity, Diversity & Inclusion believe it is important to understand the culture of the association, the profession and our communities with respect to equity, diversity, and inclusion. Our short surveys are an opportunity to include input and ideas from the professional community, while complementing the rich data collection efforts of the larger association. We recognize that incidents of racial bias and injustice continue to occur across the country on a regular basis. This third survey, however, focuses on the economic implications of participating in ALA functions. The survey can be accessed at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/TEDI3. Responses will be collected through *March 18, 2015*. ALA members and non-members are encouraged to participate. Please take a few minutes to answer the survey, which should take no more than seven minutes to complete. ?Embracing and celebrating diversity and creating a more inclusive profession have been long-standing goals of the American Library Association. With your help, we hope to ensure these values are upheld,? said Task Force co-Chairs Trevor A. Dawes and Martin L. Garnar. Questions about the survey can be sent to the Task Force at diversity at ala.org.

The Current State of Government Surveillance Welcome to Tuesday Topics for 2015-2016. Tuesday Topics is a monthly series (September- November and January- June) covering topics with intellectual freedom implications for libraries of all types. Each message is prepared by a member of OLA?s Intellectual Freedom Committee. Questions can be directed to the IF Committee member who sent the message or to one of the co-chairs of the IFC . As librarians, many of us have concerns about domestic spying by the government. We?ve read about Edward Snowden and the NSA. We are concerned about the erosion of the 4th Amendment and the possible abuses of power enabled by new technological spying tools and the expansion of the national security apparatus. While many of us are too young to remember McCarthyism directly, we have read about the chilling intellectual witch-hunts of the Cold War era, and see in current news headlines echoes of that period of anxiety and governmental overreach. There is a long history of domestic government surveillance in the United States and, post-Snowden, there are over a dozen known programs, databases, and tools used by the NSA and associated agencies (look towards the bottom of this article for a list of links to those programs). In addition, there is continuing action in the courts, pending legislation in congress, and news reports of data collection by police departments. Surveillance in the United States is a highly dynamic topic and it?s a little tricky to know exactly where we are at as of right now. This article aims to answer that by compiling Wikipedia entries, news stories, and articles pertaining to the topic chronologically, starting with the 4th Amendment. It also includes a list of resources for librarians. While it by no means a complete picture, the information here provides context to the topic in general, and attempts to describe the direction that the wrestling match between security and liberty in this country is currently heading. The Fourth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. ?The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.? Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 . The first thing to know is that one of the foundational elements of our national security state began as an attempt at reform. In the wake of the Watergate scandal, the Church commission?s airing of our domestic surveillance dirty laundry prompted the creation of the FISA court, which was designed to provide a judicial check on previous abuses. The court?s function is to issue secret warrants to law enforcement agencies. The major flaw in FISA that was pointed out early on was that the court didn?t have much investigative authority, and had to rely almost completely on whatever information the government provided for them in order to decide whether or not to issue a warrant. Decades later, this structure has led to arguments over whether or not the court serves as a ?rubber stamp? for the intelligence community. USAPATRIOT Act . October 26, 2001. The USAPATRIOT Act was passed in October of 2001 following the September 11th terrorist attacks. It significantly expanded the US security apparatus by making changes to numerous federal statutes, including FISA, and sought to increase the sharing of information between government intelligence agencies. It authorized the indefinite detention of immigrants without granting them their habeas corpus rights, and it allowed agents to search through business records, electronic, phone, and library records without a court order. The law was passed in the Senate with only one no vote, that of Russ Feingold of Wisconsin. Immediately and throughout it?s life, civil liberties groups, notably the American Library Association, fought and lobbied against the law. It was reauthorized with some changes by congress in 2005, 2006, and 2011, and supported by President Bush and Obama. 2005.

However, Section 215 of the law was amended to stop the National Security Agency from continuing its mass phone data collection program.

Apple fights the Justice Department over whether or not they have to rewrite their iPhone encryption to unlock the information on the phone of one of the mass shooters in the terrorist attack in San Bernardino. Apparently, this would effectively give the government a backdoor into all iPhones. Legislation giving the Feds the power to order companies to do this kind of thing was in the works in 2013, but was abandoned in light of the Snowden revelations. The fight is over a reading of a federal statute, and could potentially wind up in front of the Supreme Court.

On August 17, 1975 Senator Frank Church stated on NBC's "Meet the Press" without mentioning the name of the NSA about this agency: ? In the need to develop a capacity to know what potential enemies are doing, the United States government has perfected a technological capability that enables us to monitor the messages that go through the air. Now, that is necessary and important to the United States as we look abroad at enemies or potential enemies. We must know, at the same time, that capability at any time could be turned around on the American people, and no American would have any privacy left such is the capability to monitor everything ? telephone conversations, telegrams, it doesn?t matter. There would be no place to hide. If this government ever became a tyrant, if a dictator ever took charge in this country, the technological capacity that the intelligence community has given the government could enable it to impose total tyranny, and there would be no way to fight back because the most careful effort to combine together in resistance to the government, no matter how privately it was done, is within the reach of the government to know. Such is the capability of this technology. I don?t want to see this country ever go across the bridge. I know the capacity that is there to make tyranny total in America, and we must see to it that this agency and all agencies that possess this technology operate within the law and under proper supervision so that we never cross over that abyss. That is the abyss from which there is no return.?

This will be coordinated by the Inclusion Committee, in partnership with the Early Literacy Manual Committee. This Mini Manual will be up to 25 pages front/back, 50 total pages of text, entirely in Spanish. It will keep the same arrangement as the English-language manual: an introductory chapter; followed by a chapter for infants, one for toddlers, and one for preschoolers. The Spanish manual will be shorter (about 1/3 the pages) than the English manual, with the thought that bilingual staff can get some content from the English-language manual, but use the Spanish-language manual for program ideas and implementation. We are seeking a writer, who will be paid by CSLP, for this manual. All of the details are in the attached job description. Since our deadline for having the manual written is the end of April, this work is on a very short deadline. I am hoping that you all might be or know bilingual librarians who would qualify and be interested for this position. Please share this job description widely and encourage people you know to apply. Thank you for your help with this task. We?re also seeking a small editing committee (3-4 librarians) to accept the chapters from the writer, read them, edit, and provide feedback on a tight schedule. Demco does not have Spanish-speaking staff to edit, so we are creating our own committee. The timelines for reading and responding are on the job description. We are working with the Inclusion Committee on this project, so a few editors might come from their group as well. Applications for the writer position will go to Cheryl Space, CSLP Inclusion Committee Chair, as stated in the job description. If you?re interested in serving on the volunteer editing committee, please let either me or Cheryl know. If you or other interested parties have questions, please contact Cheryl, cspace at provcomlib.org, or me. Thanks so much for your assistance with this project!

Purposeful Innovation: Idea Engagement for Libraries Tuesday, March 15, 2016 ? 3 pm Eastern / 12 pm Pacific ? 60 min Registration: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/purposeful-innovation-idea-management-for-libraries.html Sooner or later, all libraries need to realign or reinvent services and workflows to respond to shifting community needs, but there?s often a disconnect between ideas generated by staff on the front lines and the decisions made by management. Imagine a library where all staff feel empowered to submit, vote and comment on service and workflow ideas. To reach this ideal, Sno-Isle Libraries (WA) has embraced the idea management process in order to consider and approve ideas holistically, for cost, benefit and time, and before a heavy investment of resources. Sno-Isle Libraries realized that building a collaborative, transparent framework to support workflows, change, ideas and community engagement is essential to creating a culture of purposeful innovation. During this webinar, you?ll gain a clear understanding of the "what" and "why" of idea management, hear lessons learned, and leave with tools to empower staff to lead from any position by sharing their ideas. Presented by: Christa Werle, Public Services Project Manager, Sno-Isle Libraries, Washington Supervisor Success: Developing Programs That Work Thursday, March 31, 2016 ? 1 pm Eastern / 10 am Pacific ? 3 hours 30 min Registration: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/supervisor-success-symposium.html As our profession transforms and our work changes, nurturing skillful and competent supervisors has become a priority for all types of libraries. Rising to the challenge, many people are creating and offering learning and development programs in their libraries. Whether we hire outside consultants or create in-house programs, we could all benefit from knowing the best practices. Let?s learn together about the most effective and low-cost options for supervisor development programs, and how to strategically promote implementation of those programs in our organizations. And let?s explore how we might motivate our supervisors to fully benefit from their learning. If you are interested in developing supervisor training programs for your library, get this one-day, free symposium on your calendar! This online event will bring together some of the most effective practices for supporting supervisor development. You?ll hear from a variety of different libraries about their programs so that you can begin thinking about offering your own. This symposium is hosted in collaboration with ALA's Learning Round Table. Please see the registration page for more details about the symposium and three topics which will be covered. You can attend any or all of the three sessions. There will be a short break in between the sessions, and your registration link will work the entire time. All presentations will be recorded and available after the symposium is completed.

Open eBooks, a new initiative and e-reader app that will make thousands of popular, top-selling eBooks available to children in need for free, is launching today. First Lady Michelle Obama is releasing a video today raising awareness of the new opportunity for children. The initiative is designed to address the challenge of providing digital reading materials to children living in low-income households, and offers unprecedented access to quality digital content, including a catalog of eBooks valued at more than $250 million. President Obama announced a nongovernmental eBooks effort in support of the ConnectED Initiative at the April 30 Kids Town Hall held by the White House at the Anacostia Branch of the District of Columbia Public Library. ConnectED is multi-pronged effort designed to provide all youth with access to high-quality digital learning tools. Since it launched, over 20 million more students have been connected to high-speed broadband in their schools and libraries and millions more are taking advantage of its free private sector resources. Open eBooks complements the new digital infrastructure to provide an opportunity for kids in need to have a world-class eLibrary in their homes. A coalition of literacy, library, publishing and technology partners joined together to make the Open eBooks program possible. The initiative?s partners ? Digital Public Library of America (DPLA), First Book, and The New York Public Library (NYPL), with content support from digital books distributor Baker & Taylor ? created the app, curated the eBook collection, and developed a system for distribution and use. They received financial support from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and content contributions from major publishers. National Geographic announced today that they will provide all of their age-appropriate content to the app, joining publishers Bloomsbury, Candlewick, Cricket Media, Hachette, HarperCollins, Lee & Low, Macmillan, Penguin Random House, and Simon & Schuster, who made commitments providing thousands of popular and award-winning titles last year. The books in the Open eBooks collection were selected by the DPLA Curation Corps, which was established to ensure a diverse, compelling, and appropriately targeted set of thousands of titles?something from which every child could read, enjoy, and learn. The Curation Corps was selected through a competitive process from a pool of more than 140 applicants from across the country, and they bring their extensive experience helping children select titles in school and public libraries. Adults who work with children in need through libraries, schools, shelters and clinics, out-of-school programs, military family services, early childhood programs and other capacities can qualify for Open eBooks credentials by first signing up with First Book and then requesting Open eBooks access for the children they serve. Students can download the free Open eBooks app to their individual devices from the App Store or Google Play and enter their access code to start enjoying Open eBooks. ?We are thrilled to be a part of this fantastic initiative that will bridge a major gap in our society and help all children discover a love of reading,? said Dan Cohen, DPLA?s executive director. ?Maximizing access to our culture has been the Digital Public Library of America?s goal from its inception, and we are so delighted to join together with such great partners to make eBooks much more widely available.? ?The Open eBooks initiative recognizes the critical need for books ? in all forms ? among children growing up in families in need,? said Kyle Zimmer, president and CEO of First Book. ?We?re proud to support this ground-breaking effort to put high quality digital content into the hands of those who need it most, and to welcome the teachers and program leaders seeking access to these resources into the largest national network of educators serving kids in need.? ?The New York Public Library is proud to work with these partners on the Open eBooks initiative, in support of the White House?s ConnectED initiative that is perfectly aligned with NYPL?s mission to provide free and open access to information, education, and opportunity,? said Tony Marx, president and CEO of The New York Public Library. ?This program is the result of an extraordinary public-private partnership, which could not have been made possible without the support of many committed partners, particularly those in our libraries who really stepped forward to help move this vision into reality,? said IMLS Director Kathryn K. Matthew. ?Digital books open new doors to learning opportunities for students and can underpin brighter educational futures. IMLS is very proud to be a part of this unique initiative.? ?We hope that by donating our technology to this innovative program, we help expand access to information and create new reading opportunities for school-age children throughout America,? said George Coe, president and CEO of Baker & Taylor. In the future, the partners will expand the initiative by adding to the collection with new and enhanced content from publishers and public domain titles; broadening the network of Title I schools, preschools, libraries, and other programs; incorporating new features into the app; and researching and sharing the effort?s impact and best practices. Access and Equality The Open eBooks initiative is a significant step toward more equitable digital access for all U.S. residents, addressing the need for free, quality digital content for children in pre-kindergarten through high school. Specifically targeting youth in need, Open eBooks aims to ensure that any device can be enjoyed as a tool to deepen a child?s love of reading. While Internet access and device availability remain major hurdles in closing the digital divide, a recent study funded by the Gates Foundation and published by the Joan Ganz Cooney Center finds 85% of families below the poverty line have a mobile device (tablet or smartphone) in surveyed households with children aged 6 to 13. Additionally, a growing number of students can access and borrow electronic reading devices, and connect to the Internet at school and local public libraries. Open eBooks is designed to complement the Wi-Fi, computer, and physical book offerings of public libraries and school libraries, and serve as a gateway to more reading. The Open eBooks Collection The catalog of content in the Open eBooks initiative includes contributions of the most exciting, top-selling titles from publishers. Using Open eBooks, children will be able to build their own virtual collection of favorites and access single titles. The major publishers have committed to make thousands of popular and award-winning titles available to students over a three-year period include: Bloomsbury, Candlewick, Cricket Media, Hachette, HarperCollins, Lee & Low, Macmillan, National Geographic Kids, Penguin Random House, Simon & Schuster. Snapshot of the Open eBooks initiative Each partner has made, and will continue to make, a unique contribution to the success of this initiative: * The app: The New York Public Library developed the app that allows users to easily access the full text and illustrations of thousands of titles generously contributed by publishers. * The distribution services: Baker & Taylor provided support with publisher relations, content management and the digital distribution technology. * The eBook collection: The Digital Public Library of America recruited and enlisted a team of expert librarians to curate the collection to ensure a diverse, compelling, and appropriately targeted set of thousands of titles?something for every child at any age and reading level to read, learn from, and enjoy. * Reaching the children: First Book, a non-profit social enterprise that provides books and educational resources to classrooms and programs serving kids in need, will tap into its network of more than 225,000 schools and programs to reach children in Title I schools, Head Start programs, military families, after school or community programs, and others serving low-income families. Qualifications The Open eBooks app is available through Title I and Title I-eligible schools as well as libraries, preschools, and community after school programs serving a minimum of 70 percent children in need. The program will also be available through schools and programs serving children whose families are enlisted in the armed forces, or serving special needs children. How do programs and classrooms get started? The Open eBooks initiative site, at www.openebooks.net, has full program instructions, including Frequently Asked Questions and links to program registration. From there, qualifying educators, librarians, community program directors, and others working with low-income children and youth must register their organization with First Book. Next, users will request a code and PIN combination for every student they serve or device available, and they should indicate the student?s grade level from one of three categories: elementary, middle or high school. Qualifying educators will be able to obtain enough codes to cover all of the students that they serve. Codes will correspond to Open eBooks Elementary Collection (for PreK ? Grade 4), Open eBooks Middle School Collection (for Grades 5 ? 8), Open eBooks High School Collection (for Grades 9 ? 12). An All Ages code will also be available. The registrant will receive a confirmation email with the codes and a letter for families and caregivers with instructions on how to download the Open eBooks app and input the code and PIN combination for their child. The app requires a device with an iOS 8.0 or later operating system or Android equivalent. The Open eBooks app allows users to instantly borrow up to 10 eBooks at a time to their digital device. Each borrowed eBook will be available for 56 days before it must be renewed, or the eBook will be automatically returned. Because of this automatic return process, there are no late fees or penalties for Open eBooks users. Students and their families can choose eBooks based on the topics that get them excited about reading and learning, and sort by reading level, grade level, or title. The app can be used anywhere with an Internet connection. The First Book Help Team can be reached at help at firstbook.org or by phone at (866) 732-3669 (8am ? 6pm EST). Information and updates on the initiative will be shared on the Open eBooks website and on Facebook and Twitter.

If not, then public libraries can only register the programs they implement that target low socioeconomic youth?like Head Start Storytime or Summer Reading Outreach. Being registered for Open eBooks also allows public libraries to use other First Book resources, including books for book giveaway. The librarian was advised by First Book to spread the word, and given these instructions: ? If all the schools in your service area are Title 1, then ? Register as a non-profit ? Explanation: All elementary and middle school is Title I (or whatever is appropriate for your library service area) ? It asks for percentage low income: no matter what, put down at least 70% ?

Open eBooks, a new initiative and e-reader app that will make thousands of popular, top-selling eBooks available to children in need for free, is launching today. First Lady Michelle Obama is releasing a video today raising awareness of the new opportunity for children. The initiative is designed to address the challenge of providing digital reading materials to children living in low-income households, and offers unprecedented access to quality digital content, including a catalog of eBooks valued at more than $250 million. President Obama announced a nongovernmental eBooks effort in support of the ConnectED Initiative at the April 30 Kids Town Hall held by the White House at the Anacostia Branch of the District of Columbia Public Library. ConnectED is multi-pronged effort designed to provide all youth with access to high-quality digital learning tools. Since it launched, over 20 million more students have been connected to high-speed broadband in their schools and libraries and millions more are taking advantage of its free private sector resources. Open eBooks complements the new digital infrastructure to provide an opportunity for kids in need to have a world-class eLibrary in their homes. A coalition of literacy, library, publishing and technology partners joined together to make the Open eBooks program possible. The initiative?s partners ? Digital Public Library of America (DPLA), First Book, and The New York Public Library (NYPL), with content support from digital books distributor Baker & Taylor ? created the app, curated the eBook collection, and developed a system for distribution and use. They received financial support from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and content contributions from major publishers. National Geographic announced today that they will provide all of their age-appropriate content to the app, joining publishers Bloomsbury, Candlewick, Cricket Media, Hachette, HarperCollins, Lee & Low, Macmillan, Penguin Random House, and Simon & Schuster, who made commitments providing thousands of popular and award-winning titles last year. The books in the Open eBooks collection were selected by the DPLA Curation Corps, which was established to ensure a diverse, compelling, and appropriately targeted set of thousands of titles?something from which every child could read, enjoy, and learn. The Curation Corps was selected through a competitive process from a pool of more than 140 applicants from across the country, and they bring their extensive experience helping children select titles in school and public libraries. Adults who work with children in need through libraries, schools, shelters and clinics, out-of-school programs, military family services, early childhood programs and other capacities can qualify for Open eBooks credentials by first signing up with First Book and then requesting Open eBooks access for the children they serve. Students can download the free Open eBooks app to their individual devices from the App Store or Google Play and enter their access code to start enjoying Open eBooks. ?We are thrilled to be a part of this fantastic initiative that will bridge a major gap in our society and help all children discover a love of reading,? said Dan Cohen, DPLA?s executive director. ?Maximizing access to our culture has been the Digital Public Library of America?s goal from its inception, and we are so delighted to join together with such great partners to make eBooks much more widely available.? ?The Open eBooks initiative recognizes the critical need for books ? in all forms ? among children growing up in families in need,? said Kyle Zimmer, president and CEO of First Book. ?We?re proud to support this ground-breaking effort to put high quality digital content into the hands of those who need it most, and to welcome the teachers and program leaders seeking access to these resources into the largest national network of educators serving kids in need.? ?The New York Public Library is proud to work with these partners on the Open eBooks initiative, in support of the White House?s ConnectED initiative that is perfectly aligned with NYPL?s mission to provide free and open access to information, education, and opportunity,? said Tony Marx, president and CEO of The New York Public Library. ?This program is the result of an extraordinary public-private partnership, which could not have been made possible without the support of many committed partners, particularly those in our libraries who really stepped forward to help move this vision into reality,? said IMLS Director Kathryn K. Matthew. ?Digital books open new doors to learning opportunities for students and can underpin brighter educational futures. IMLS is very proud to be a part of this unique initiative.? ?We hope that by donating our technology to this innovative program, we help expand access to information and create new reading opportunities for school-age children throughout America,? said George Coe, president and CEO of Baker & Taylor. In the future, the partners will expand the initiative by adding to the collection with new and enhanced content from publishers and public domain titles; broadening the network of Title I schools, preschools, libraries, and other programs; incorporating new features into the app; and researching and sharing the effort?s impact and best practices. Access and Equality The Open eBooks initiative is a significant step toward more equitable digital access for all U.S. residents, addressing the need for free, quality digital content for children in pre-kindergarten through high school. Specifically targeting youth in need, Open eBooks aims to ensure that any device can be enjoyed as a tool to deepen a child?s love of reading. While Internet access and device availability remain major hurdles in closing the digital divide, a recent study funded by the Gates Foundation and published by the Joan Ganz Cooney Center finds 85% of families below the poverty line have a mobile device (tablet or smartphone) in surveyed households with children aged 6 to 13. Additionally, a growing number of students can access and borrow electronic reading devices, and connect to the Internet at school and local public libraries. Open eBooks is designed to complement the Wi-Fi, computer, and physical book offerings of public libraries and school libraries, and serve as a gateway to more reading. The Open eBooks Collection The catalog of content in the Open eBooks initiative includes contributions of the most exciting, top-selling titles from publishers. Using Open eBooks, children will be able to build their own virtual collection of favorites and access single titles. The major publishers have committed to make thousands of popular and award-winning titles available to students over a three-year period include: Bloomsbury, Candlewick, Cricket Media, Hachette, HarperCollins, Lee & Low, Macmillan, National Geographic Kids, Penguin Random House, Simon & Schuster. Snapshot of the Open eBooks initiative Each partner has made, and will continue to make, a unique contribution to the success of this initiative: * The app: The New York Public Library developed the app that allows users to easily access the full text and illustrations of thousands of titles generously contributed by publishers. * The distribution services: Baker & Taylor provided support with publisher relations, content management and the digital distribution technology. * The eBook collection: The Digital Public Library of America recruited and enlisted a team of expert librarians to curate the collection to ensure a diverse, compelling, and appropriately targeted set of thousands of titles?something for every child at any age and reading level to read, learn from, and enjoy. * Reaching the children: First Book, a non-profit social enterprise that provides books and educational resources to classrooms and programs serving kids in need, will tap into its network of more than 225,000 schools and programs to reach children in Title I schools, Head Start programs, military families, after school or community programs, and others serving low-income families. Qualifications The Open eBooks app is available through Title I and Title I-eligible schools as well as libraries, preschools, and community after school programs serving a minimum of 70 percent children in need. The program will also be available through schools and programs serving children whose families are enlisted in the armed forces, or serving special needs children. How do programs and classrooms get started? The Open eBooks initiative site, at www.openebooks.net, has full program instructions, including Frequently Asked Questions and links to program registration. From there, qualifying educators, librarians, community program directors, and others working with low-income children and youth must register their organization with First Book. Next, users will request a code and PIN combination for every student they serve or device available, and they should indicate the student?s grade level from one of three categories: elementary, middle or high school. Qualifying educators will be able to obtain enough codes to cover all of the students that they serve. Codes will correspond to Open eBooks Elementary Collection (for PreK ? Grade 4), Open eBooks Middle School Collection (for Grades 5 ? 8), Open eBooks High School Collection (for Grades 9 ? 12). An All Ages code will also be available. The registrant will receive a confirmation email with the codes and a letter for families and caregivers with instructions on how to download the Open eBooks app and input the code and PIN combination for their child. The app requires a device with an iOS 8.0 or later operating system or Android equivalent. The Open eBooks app allows users to instantly borrow up to 10 eBooks at a time to their digital device. Each borrowed eBook will be available for 56 days before it must be renewed, or the eBook will be automatically returned. Because of this automatic return process, there are no late fees or penalties for Open eBooks users. Students and their families can choose eBooks based on the topics that get them excited about reading and learning, and sort by reading level, grade level, or title. The app can be used anywhere with an Internet connection. The First Book Help Team can be reached at help at firstbook.org or by phone at (866) 732-3669 (8am ? 6pm EST). Information and updates on the initiative will be shared on the Open eBooks website and on Facebook and Twitter.

While conflict and poverty in the immigrants' countries of origin are major reasons for crossing the border in the U.S., it is less clear what impact this trauma has on the health of immigrant communities. Crossing without documents can produce long term health effects; even if documented, immigrants still face major political, cultural, and economic barriers that impact health. We will explore these experiences in relation to age, gender, economics, language, and sociocultural traditions, focusing on how these factors affect health and healthcare delivery in the U.S. Additional conference details can be found on our Familias en Acci?n website. *#LHEC2016* * Early Bird Registration will close April 15th!

Thanks to the support of our sponsors, this event is completely free for attendees! *Library Journal?s* Design Institute is a one-day think tank that brings librarians together with leading architects, designers, and product vendors for presentations, interactive discussions, and innovative problem-solving on library space, design, and construction. Design Institute draws between 80-100 attendees with the majority being library directors, city librarians, as well as city and facility planners. Library registrants are invited to submit real-life design challenges with their registration. Each submission is vetted and reviewed by *Library Journal*, and then each sponsoring architect selects their top choice of design challenge to take on. The architect and library then work together to create a breakout session to be held onsite at the event. Even if a library?s submission is not selected, Design Institute affords every attendee the opportunity to have face-to-face time with the architects and product vendors to discuss their challenge needs. Whether you?re renovating, retrofitting, or building anew, you?ll find ideas, information, and inspiration no matter your budget! Another popular aspect of this event is the half-day tour of local libraries that is held on the day prior to the Design Institute. The event will conclude with plenty of networking time during a closing reception at Bozeman Public Library. Again, thanks to the support of our sponsors, this event is completely free for attendees.

The award, presented by Charleston tech company *BiblioBoard* and the *Black Caucus of the American Library Association*, will be presented during the 2016 Annual Conference of the American Library Association in Orlando, Florida. Below is the press release for this event. [image: Cynthia Hurd] Cynthia Hurd *BCALA and BiblioBoard Announce the 2016 EBook Literary Awards Winners* The *Black Caucus of the American Library Association, Inc. (BCALA)* and *BiblioBoard* announce winners of the 2016 Self-Publishing EBook Award. Following the model of the current BCALA Literary Awards, the new award honors the best self-published EBooks in fiction and poetry by an African American author in the U.S. The recipients will receive the awards during the 2016 Annual Conference of the American Library Association in Orlando, FL. The first awards are dedicated to *Cynthia Hurd,* whose life was tragically cut short in the Mother Emanuel AME Church attack in Charleston, South Carolina. Hurd was a beloved public servant and dedicated librarian at Charleston County Public Library for over 31 years. *Dudley Gregorie*, Charleston City Councilman and a trustee of Mother Emanuel AME, believes this to be an outstanding tribute to Hurd. ?*Cynthia [Hurd]* was a cherished member of our church and our community. Her exceptional work in service of the library and local community and her tremendous spirit are more than deserving of an award in her honor, especially an award of such significance.? The BCALA 2016 Self-Publishing EBook Award marks the first award from an ALA affiliate to acknowledge literary excellence in self-published digital content. ?I believe a priority in the library should be to promote culturally diverse literature,? says *Gregorie*. ?This award and the two winners it honors represent a remarkable and growing shift in the library world, wherein the library becomes an institution that doesn?t just serve its community, but actively engages it and evolves to meet its needs. The winning selections are relevant, socially aware texts that speak to readers and ask that they think on what it means to be a part of a community that is diverse but connected, a community with empathy. As a librarian whose true passion was to help make sure her patrons and community had every opportunity to grow together, I?m confident Cynthia would be proud to affix her name to an award in service to that cause. *FICTION* *Song of Blood and Stone: Earthsinger Chronicles, Book One* (Heartspell Media, LLC) by *L. Penelope*. This book is an action packed novel that is both a story of romance and magical fantasy. Jasminda, an orphaned outcast from Elsira, encounters Jack and the two fight evil, to solve a mystery that may prevent war between two nations. Ironically, the two nations have a skin-color bias that resonate racial tensions of today. Leslye Penelope has been writing since she could hold a pen and loves getting lost in the worlds in her head. She lives in Maryland with her husband. *POETRY* *Streetlights, J?s and Hip Hop: Making of a Poet* (Create Space Publishing) by *King Shakur*. A poetic walk down memory lane renders thought-provoking words at the height of the ?Black Lives Matters? movement with poems that illuminate feelings from The African American community. Shakur urges readers to question one?s own society and purpose in life. He is a poet and spoken word artist heavily influenced by poverty, youth engagement, Hip Hop and Soul music. Born in Dallas, TX and raised in the South Dallas neighborhood. He wrote his first poem at 12 and his first performance was in a Baptist church, at the age of 17. Members of the BCALA Literary Awards Jury are: Gladys Smiley Bell (Chair), Hampton University; Tiffany A. Duck, Jefferson-Madison Regional Library; Jamillah Gabriel, Purdue University; Dominique Luster, University of Pittsburgh; Carol Nurse, Montclair University; Annie Payton, Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical University; Stacy Williams, University of Southern California.

We are pleased to announce that a pilot presentation of our work is now available as an online exhibit, titled Public Health in Oregon: Discovering Historical Data. In addition, all materials digitized for this project are being added to a collection in OHSU Digital Commons. The collection currently contains over 200 items, including public health surveys, early medical journals, records of the People's Institute and Portland Free Dispensary, papers from the early career of Dr. Esther Pohl Lovejoy, records of state institutions, and more. Currently, users can download PDFs of digitized items. Work underway includes transcribing and normalizing datasets from these original materials, and adding them to the collection as Excel files. In 2016 and early 2017, we will complete transcription and normalization of data, and make enhancements to the project based on direct feedback from public health professionals, historians, librarians, and archivists. We are thrilled to make our unique collections available to a broad audience through digitization and data curation. The project director is Maija Anderson, Director of Curatorial Services. The project team includes Max Johnson, University Archivist; Shahim Essaid, Ontology Development Group; and student assistants Rachel Blume, Sherra Hopkins, Lacey Legel, and Grayce Mack. This project is supported in whole by the Institute of Museum and Library Services through the Library Services and Technology Act, administered by the Oregon State Library.

I just wanted to add, for those who may not be aware, that the Josephine Community Library system currently receives no local tax support and survives solely on donations and grants. Essentially, they are a small nonprofit, so an unanticipated $5,000 demand on their budget is a huge deal. I encourage anyone who is so moved to make a donation to assist in the restoration of the Illinois Valley branch library as I know the support of the Oregon library community will mean a great deal to the library staff and volunteers in Josephine County. Let?s share some library love! Penny Hummel Penny Hummel Consulting penny at pennyhummel.com 503.890.0494 www.pennyhummel.com From: Libs-Or on behalf of Charles Wood Date: Saturday, February 27, 2016 at 7:53 PM To: Subject: [Libs-Or] Illinois Valley Branch Library Restoration Fundraiser On the morning of Tuesday, February 23, 2016, robbers broke in to the Illinois Valley branch of Josephine County Libraries in Cave Junction, Oregon, ransacked the building, and stole cash and other items. Although the building is covered by insurance, the library still needs to pay the deductible and costs not covered by insurance. Costs for damages and repairs are estimated at $5,000. For more information about the incident and how to donate to the cause, please see: http://josephinelibrary.org/get-involved/iv-restore/ _____________________________________________________ Libs-Or mailing list Libs-Or at listsmart.osl.state.or.us http://listsmart.osl.state.or.us/mailman/listinfo/libs-or Hosted by the Oregon State Library.
