[projectoutcome_logo_300x75px.png]By now many if not most of you have heard something about "Project Outcome" or "outcome measurements" but maybe you're still not sure what all the hub-bub is all about... well, now is your chance to learn more! The Public Library Association s partnering with the American Library Association (ALA) Public Programs Office to present this webinar designed to teach participants the value of measuring outcomes within library programs. Date: January 21, 2016 Time: 11:00a - 12:00p THIS WEBINAR IS FREE, BUT REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED AND SPACE IS LIMITED. You can register for this webinar until it begins, or until space is no longer available, whichever comes first. Please do not register unless you are sincere about attending the live webinar. Space is limited, and signing up and not attending may deprive someone else of the opportunity. Thank you for your cooperation. Please visit http://www.ala.org/pla/onlinelearning/webinars/projectoutcomevalue to register as soon as possible. More about this webinar: This introductory webinar will provide an overview of outcome measurement and the Project Outcome tools, and is specifically aimed toward programming librarians interested in getting started using outcome measurement. Whether you are a programming librarian or in charge of programmatic decision-making at your library, it is important to understand the different ways to evaluate your programs. Learn how the PLA initiative Project Outcome provides new ways to collect data and how it relates to making program improvements, creating additional programs, and eliminating programs that are no longer meeting the needs of your community. Participants will see real-life examples of how measuring outcomes helped libraries gather better data to create better programs for their patrons. Takeaways At the conclusion of this webinar, participants will: * Be able to identify what an outcome is; * Know how to enroll in and use Project Outcome; and * Be able to apply their understanding of outcome measurement to their own programs. Who Should Attend This introductory webinar is open to everyone but will be most beneficial to programming librarians and library staff in charge of programmatic decision-making who are interested in getting started using outcome measurement. Project Outcome is a free service provided by the Public Library Association.

This new format will make it easier to keep current information on the job list. I will be able to add and delete job openings throughout the week, instead of only once per week. Also, you can sign up for the RSS feed and receive job postings via your favorite feed reader. I will be posting job openings in the order that I receive them, so out of state postings will be mixed with Oregon postings. However, I am using categories to tag the posts. On the right menu, you can click to view only "Oregon" listings, only "Out of State" listings, or you can sort by the closing month (example: Closes January 2016) or type of library (example: Public Library). I am also including the state initials in the job title field for out of state listings. To list a job on the Oregon State Library Jobline blog, email me your request (jessica.rondema at state.or.us). Please provide the following information: Job Title Closing Date (All listings with no closing date will be removed from the blog after one month.)

The Oregon Documents Repository includes a variety of publications about taxation in Oregon. Want an overview of Oregon individual income tax law since 1999? Check out Publication 17 ?. This guide is intended for tax professionals, but the information is useful for anyone. Oregon has been reviewing its tax structure off and on since statehood. You can take a look at work done during 1955-1965 in Report of the Legislative Interim Tax Study Committee. In addition to providing an interesting picture of Oregon taxes, these reports have some of the cleverest cover art of any Oregon government publications. One of the hottest topics in the news for several months has been recreational marijuana. A number of state agencies have published information about recreational marijuana. The Liquor Control Commission has a number of publications, including Implementing recreational marijuana in Oregon and Business readiness guidebook for Oregon recreational marijuana operations. The Oregon Health Authority encourages adults to protect children from recreational marijuana with Keep it out of reach. And the Department of Transportation encourages us to drive sober with Doobie.

Return to top of page Other Library News New Year, New Data, Better Libraries! [https://www.oregon.gov/osl/LTLO/LTLOJan2016/ProjectOutcome.jpg]Join the field-wide shift toward outcome measurement and make your library's New Year's resolution all about measuring impact with the Public Library Association's (PLA) Project Outcome. Since launching on June 26, Project Outcome has quickly met public library demand and desire for standardized performance measures by exceeding 200 library users in just six short months. To date, nearly 750 Project Outcome participants have registered for free online and over 200 public libraries are currently using the Project Outcome survey tools to measure the outcomes of at least one program or service within their library, aggregating a total of over 4,000 surveys nationwide. To learn more about measuring your library's true impact, visit www.projectoutcome.org. School Libraries Included in New Federal Education Act As you probably know, President Obama signed the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) in December. It reauthorizes for four years the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), currently known as No Child Left Behind. For the first time in over fifty years, school libraries and librarians are included by name in multiple places throughout the law. The most significant addition may be that school librarians are now part of the definition of "specialized instructional support personnel," thereby allowing local education agencies (school districts, basically) to spend Title funds on school library programs and their ability to develop digital literacy skills, improve academic achievement, and address tech readiness needs. For a list of specific areas where school libraries are included, refer to this ALA Washington Office District Dispatch posting, this ALA document, or this School Library Advocate.org article. While ESSA becomes effective July 1, 2016 for noncompetitive programs and October 1st for competitive ones, SchoolLibraryAdvocate.org notes that "it is likely that implementation of ESSA, at least those areas concerning school libraries, will not take effect until the 2017-18 school year." Thanks to those who asked their legislators to support ESSA, and thanks to Kate Weber, librarian at the Southern Oregon Education Service District, for her contribution to this article. In December We Lost a Literacy Champion Debbie Alvarez touched many lives. She touched lives with the books she shared, the opportunities she created, the openness with which she embraced the world. Her accomplishments are many - the creation of OBOB, author of the Stylin' Librarian blog, tweeter, school library advocate, mother, writer - but it is the humility, courage, and honesty with which she faced the world that we remember. School Library Journal included her in their memorials, Amy Wang of The Oregonian/OregonLive wrote an article, Rosanne Parry posted on Facebook, Bart King tweeted, and Lenore Look blogged on Debbie's impact in the world.

While we don't have a specific policy prohibiting downloading audio books (or music CD's or DVD's), it's obviously a blatant violation of copyright (ergo, illegal) - and our policies prohibit illegal activities. We know that patrons check out music CD's and other media and take them home to download, but this is the first time someone has been observed downloading audio books here in the library (our video and music media are in locked cases, but audio books are not). Somehow it seems even more offensive to have someone do it right under our noses - without even bothering to check out the materials. Other than posting a sign or two pointing out that downloading AV media is illegal and threatening the wrath of karma, what else do the rest of you do about this? The logistics (and expense) of transferring all of our audio books into locked cases isn't a realistic option - are there other deterrents? Any and all suggestions will be appreciated.

Best, Charles Wood OLAQ Coordinator Email Subject line: OLA Quarterly seeks submissions! Feb. 10th deadline. Library Marketing and Communications The Oregon Library Association Quarterly is seeking submissions for the Winter 2015 issue. The OLAQ is a professional/academic journal that showcases the writing and work of library employees in Oregon. Authors retain the rights to their work, and past authors have gone on to have their articles published in magazines such as American Libraries. The OLAQ has global reach because it is indexed by Library Literature & Information Science and Library, Information Science & Technology Abstracts. Full text of the OLAQ is also available through HW Wilson's Library Literature and Information Science Full Text and EBSCO Publishing's Library, Information Science and Technology Abstracts (LISTA) with Full Text. The author deadline has been extended to February 10th, 2015. See instructions for authors here: http://commons.pacificu.edu/olaq/author_instructions.html The theme for the winter issue is Library Marketing and Communications, and will be guest edited by Joan Petit, Communications and Outreach Librarian at Portland State University. Joan invites potential authors to email her their ideas at jpetit at pdx.edu. Final articles will be due to Joan on February 10. If you have any questions, please get in touch with Joan. More about the theme: Library Marketing and Communications Oregon libraries provide an incredible array of resources and services, but sometimes we struggle to educate our users and each other about all that is available. Over the past several years, many libraries have become more intentional in our efforts to market and promote our offerings, through traditional PR and advertisements as well as newer approaches like social media. However, we may lack the expertise to do this well--or lack the budget to implement all of our ideas. The winter issue of OLA Quarterly will focus on library marketing and communications. We want to examine how Oregon libraries--whether school, public, special, or academic--communicate with our users. What's the most effective way to reach them? What successes have we experienced? What challenges and failures? How do we incorporate marketing functions into our libraries? How do we gain the skills we need to do this well? And how do we keep up with the fast-changing landscape of social media? Possible paper topics include the following: Marketing and communications successes Marketing and communications challenges, failures, and lessons learned (sometimes we learn more when things don't work!) Market research: how do we learn about our users? Communications plans: what are best practices for developing a a formal plan or strategy? How do we make sure we take the time to plan? How do we balance planning and implementation? PR and media relations: is the press release an effective tool? What's the best way to develop relationships with local media? Social media: which social media are most effective and most challenging? How do we keep up with new social media? What strategies work best with various social media? Organizational structure for marketing and communications: who is responsible for marketing the library? How do we include librarians and library staff who don't have formal marketing assignments? What tasks do we do in-house and when do we rely on outside expertise? Internal communications: how do we make sure we are sharing important information internally? Value of marketing and communications Skills, knowledge, and training: how do we develop our own skills in writing, graphic design, and media relations? Generational issues: communicating with various user groups (kids, senior citizens, college students, etc) Marketing and communications for development and fundraising Happy New Year, Charles Wood OLAQ Coordinator http://commons.pacificu.edu/olaq/ wuchakewu at gmail.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hi Oregon Librarians - I have a colleague who has just self-published a kids book, which his daughter illustrated. The book is a little bit unusual, but very clever. He's asking me for ideas on how to best market it. Does anyone have any ideas on this? I have no experience with book promotion. I don't want to co-opt this listserv with advertising, but I will include the URL for the book here in case anyone is interested in checking it out further (or purchasing a copy for their library!): www.thetreetalksback.com thanks, Karen -- Karen Clay Library Director Eastern Oregon University "This email and any files transmitted with it are intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

[Letters Logo.png] Letters About Literature is a national reading and writing contest sponsored by the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress (LOC), the Dollar General Literacy Foundation (new!), and in Oregon by Willamette Writers (new!). Students write letters to any author explaining how that author's book changed their way of thinking about the world or themselves. Please help promote this program, including among homeschoolers. The LOC asks teachers to allow students to choose a book that is meaningful to them and asks students to explain *why* or *how* the book was significant to them instead of summarizing the plot. The focus of a participant's letter is to make clear the connection one has with a book. Here's what Lynette Gottlieb, a teacher in Corvallis, had to say about the contest: Letters about Literature was a completely positive experience for my students...importantly, some of my students who do not identify as writers, and do not generally enjoy the experience, were able to write about something meaningful to them and participate in an inclusive contest that also recognized them...the process connects them to the human experience of literature. It supports my English classroom where I give students choice about reading whenever possible and teach that literature and writing are first and foremost about communication. There are three competition levels: Level I for 4th-6th graders, Level II for 7th-8th graders, and Level III for 9th-12th graders. Oregon's three winners - one from each competition level - will go on to compete nationally. Last year Oregon?s own Heather DesChamp was a National Honor Award recipient! Entry forms and guidelines are available on the Willamette Writers and the State Library?s websites. All high school (Level III) entries must be postmarked by December 4, 2015 and elementary and middle school (Levels I and II) entries by January 11, 2016. Thanks to these groups whose sponsorship makes local prizes possible: Oregon Reading Association and three divisions of the Oregon Library Association: Oregon Association of School Libraries, Children's Services Division, and Oregon Young Adult Network. Thanks to you for passing along the information and encouraging participation.

You will find some tips for designing certificates at the bottom of this email. The one children's, one teen, and one all ages/one slogan certificate with the most votes will be made available to Oregon libraries to download and print. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you, Katie Anderson 503-803-3940 katie.anderson at state.or.us Tips for successful certificate design: ? The certificate should be 8.5" x 11", and should have blank outer margins of at least .25" on all sides. ? EPS files, like the ones found on the CSLP DVD, can be scaled to any size in your docu?ment without losing resolution. These files can be manipulated in illustration programs such as Microsoft Paint or Adobe Illustrator. ? TIFF and JPEG files can be manipulated in any photo editing program such as Adobe Photoshop (another example?). Avoid increasing these images by more than 20% of their original size. If you need an image in a different format and you cannot convert the image on your own, please email your request to the CSLP at info at cslpreads.org. ? Download the State of Oregon seal from http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/youthsvcs/summerreading/summerreadingcertificates.aspx, and use it in your design. ? When converting your design to a PDF, select a high quality print setting (in particular, images should be at a minimum of 300dpi). ? A good rule of thumb for double-checking the resolution or print quality of your design: Open your PDF in Acrobat, and zoom in at 400%. If the images and type still look smooth (not grainy or pixelated), your design should print nicely.

Hello! When helping patrons with technology, where do you draw the line? Does your library have a policy, or does each staff member set their own limits?

I'm working for Sno-Isle Libraries. While I'm going to draw on my experience and offer you my opinion on this topic, I need to be clear that I don't speak for my library system. One thing that hasn't been raised is the role reference interview plays when in helping patrons with technology. While libraries can't replace the geek squad or troubleshoot computer glitches or update software, we can point patrons to resources so they can make decisions and DIY, just like we help them find information on how to fix their own cars or build a shed. I do a reference interview and what I think of as a technology interview, asking questions to see aptitude and figure out what the patron wants. When a patron wants tech support that we don't provide, I use these requests as an opportunity to see if they would like thee resources to help them resolve the issue themselves, just like I would for any other reference question. If appropriate, I consider such requests as information literacy teaching moments. I help the patron find information on there computer or software just like I would help them find information on any other topic. And I write down the steps I used to find the information. I show the patron how to do focused web searches for answers using the support pages and forums at Microsoft, Apple, or the software company that they need help with. It's amazing how excited people get to learn about how they can use a search engine to search a specific site to target the information. So I'm not just teaching the patron tech, I'm modeling and teaching them IL skills to problem solve and the next time they have a problem, they can use those skills. I'll print out instructions and point them to books to check out, just like I would help a patron who needs to know how to replace his brakes but doesn't know how to use the automotive database. I use a lot of qualifiers when I'm talking to patrons. While I can't fix your laptop for you, I can find you directions or articles that may help you figure out what's going on with your computer. Of course, I also keep an eye on the time and I set appropriate boundaries saying things like: I think this is going to take some time to research, can I get your contact information and I'll call/email you once I find what you're looking for. Or helping you with ebooks is going to take longer than 15 minutes, can we set up a book a librarian appointment? When we're busy, I rotate though our computer area briefly check in with the people who wanted tech help. It's sort of like being a waitress and making sure a table doesn't need water. A lot of what I do is encouragement and reminding people that computers are like cars, which need regular maintenance. I say: You didn't learn how to drive your car overnight and sometimes you can take care of somethings and sometimes you have to take it to the mechanic. And I remind people that they learned 2 or 3 new things.

Hi Aaron, I was in SLIM's Oregon10 cohort. I'm working for Sno-Isle Libraries. While I'm going to draw on my experience and offer you my opinion on this topic, I need to be clear that I don't speak for my library system. One thing that hasn't been raised is the role reference interview plays when in helping patrons with technology. While libraries can't replace the geek squad or troubleshoot computer glitches or update software, we can point patrons to resources so they can make decisions and DIY, just like we help them find information on how to fix their own cars or build a shed. I do a reference interview and what I think of as a technology interview, asking questions to see aptitude and figure out what the patron wants. When a patron wants tech support that we don't provide, I use these requests as an opportunity to see if they would like thee resources to help them resolve the issue themselves, just like I would for any other reference question. If appropriate, I consider such requests as information literacy teaching moments. I help the patron find information on there computer or software just like I would help them find information on any other topic. And I write down the steps I used to find the information. I show the patron how to do focused web searches for answers using the support pages and forums at Microsoft, Apple, or the software company that they need help with. It's amazing how excited people get to learn about how they can use a search engine to search a specific site to target the information. So I'm not just teaching the patron tech, I'm modeling and teaching them IL skills to problem solve and the next time they have a problem, they can use those skills. I'll print out instructions and point them to books to check out, just like I would help a patron who needs to know how to replace his brakes but doesn't know how to use the automotive database. I use a lot of qualifiers when I'm talking to patrons. While I can't fix your laptop for you, I can find you directions or articles that may help you figure out what's going on with your computer. Of course, I also keep an eye on the time and I set appropriate boundaries saying things like: I think this is going to take some time to research, can I get your contact information and I'll call/email you once I find what you're looking for. Or helping you with ebooks is going to take longer than 15 minutes, can we set up a book a librarian appointment? When we're busy, I rotate though our computer area briefly check in with the people who wanted tech help. It's sort of like being a waitress and making sure a table doesn't need water. A lot of what I do is encouragement and reminding people that computers are like cars, which need regular maintenance. I say: You didn't learn how to drive your car overnight and sometimes you can take care of somethings and sometimes you have to take it to the mechanic. And I remind people that they learned 2 or 3 new things.

Hello! When helping patrons with technology, where do you draw the line? Does your library have a policy, or does each staff member set their own limits? Showing them how to download and use e-book apps is one thing, but what about things like... installing free software, such as Adobe reader or an anti-virus? walking them through system updates? transferring pics from phone/tablet to cloud storage? We're trying to teach them to fish, and there is a reason they aren't going to Geek Squad; however, complaints and perhaps liability issues could surface when working with patrons on their devices. Do you set time limits, tell the patron you're "hands-off" prior to helping them, and is the service they receive consistent from staff member to staff member? Looking forward to any advice you have.

The Oregon Documents Repository includes a variety of publications about taxation in Oregon. Want an overview of Oregon individual income tax law since 1999? Check out Publication 17 ?. This guide is intended for tax professionals, but the information is useful for anyone. Oregon has been reviewing its tax structure off and on since statehood. You can take a look at work done during 1955-1965 in Report of the Legislative Interim Tax Study Committee. In addition to providing an interesting picture of Oregon taxes, these reports have some of the cleverest cover art of any Oregon government publications. One of the hottest topics in the news for several months has been recreational marijuana. A number of state agencies have published information about recreational marijuana. The Liquor Control Commission has a number of publications, including Implementing recreational marijuana in Oregon and Business readiness guidebook for Oregon recreational marijuana operations. The Oregon Health Authority encourages adults to protect children from recreational marijuana with Keep it out of reach. And the Department of Transportation encourages us to drive sober with Doobie.

[https://www.oregon.gov/osl/LTLO/LTLOJan2016/ProjectOutcome.jpg]Join the field-wide shift toward outcome measurement and make your library's New Year's resolution all about measuring impact with the Public Library Association's (PLA) Project Outcome. Since launching on June 26, Project Outcome has quickly met public library demand and desire for standardized performance measures by exceeding 200 library users in just six short months. To date, nearly 750 Project Outcome participants have registered for free online and over 200 public libraries are currently using the Project Outcome survey tools to measure the outcomes of at least one program or service within their library, aggregating a total of over 4,000 surveys nationwide. To learn more about measuring your library's true impact, visit www.projectoutcome.org. School Libraries Included in New Federal Education Act As you probably know, President Obama signed the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) in December. It reauthorizes for four years the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), currently known as No Child Left Behind. For the first time in over fifty years, school libraries and librarians are included by name in multiple places throughout the law. The most significant addition may be that school librarians are now part of the definition of "specialized instructional support personnel," thereby allowing local education agencies (school districts, basically) to spend Title funds on school library programs and their ability to develop digital literacy skills, improve academic achievement, and address tech readiness needs. For a list of specific areas where school libraries are included, refer to this ALA Washington Office District Dispatch posting , this ALA document, or this School Library Advocate.org article. While ESSA becomes effective July 1, 2016 for noncompetitive programs and October 1st for competitive ones, SchoolLibraryAdvocate.org notes that "it is likely that implementation of ESSA, at least those areas concerning school libraries, will not take effect until the 2017-18 school year." Thanks to those who asked their legislators to support ESSA, and thanks to Kate Weber, librarian at the Southern Oregon Education Service District, for her contribution to this article. In December We Lost a Literacy Champion Debbie Alvarez touched many lives. She touched lives with the books she shared, the opportunities she created, the openness with which she embraced the world. Her accomplishments are many - the creation of OBOB, author of the Stylin' Librarian blog, tweeter, school library advocate, mother, writer - but it is the humility, courage, and honesty with which she faced the world that we remember. School Library Journal included her in their memorials, Amy Wang of The Oregonian/OregonLive wrote an article, Rosanne Parry posted on Facebook, Bart King tweeted, and Lenore Look blogged on Debbie's impact in the world.

While we don't have a specific policy prohibiting downloading audio books (or music CD's or DVD's), it's obviously a blatant violation of copyright (ergo, illegal) - and our policies prohibit illegal activities. We know that patrons check out music CD's and other media and take them home to download, but this is the first time someone has been observed downloading audio books here in the library (our video and music media are in locked cases, but audio books are not). Somehow it seems even more offensive to have someone do it right under our noses - without even bothering to check out the materials. Other than posting a sign or two pointing out that downloading AV media is illegal and threatening the wrath of karma, what else do the rest of you do about this? The logistics (and expense) of transferring all of our audio books into locked cases isn't a realistic option - are there other deterrents? Any and all suggestions will be appreciated.

I believe it will help bring in submissions to the Oregon Library Association Quarterly. Please let me know if you have any questions. Best, Charles Wood OLAQ Coordinator Email Subject line: OLA Quarterly seeks submissions! Feb. 10th deadline. Library Marketing and Communications The Oregon Library Association Quarterly is seeking submissions for the Winter 2015 issue. The OLAQ is a professional/academic journal that showcases the writing and work of library employees in Oregon. Authors retain the rights to their work, and past authors have gone on to have their articles published in magazines such as American Libraries. The OLAQ has global reach because it is indexed by Library Literature & Information Science and Library, Information Science & Technology Abstracts. Full text of the OLAQ is also available through HW Wilson's Library Literature and Information Science Full Text and EBSCO Publishing's Library, Information Science and Technology Abstracts (LISTA) with Full Text. The author deadline has been extended to February 10th, 2015. See instructions for authors here: http://commons.pacificu.edu/olaq/author_instructions.html The theme for the winter issue is Library Marketing and Communications, and will be guest edited by Joan Petit, Communications and Outreach Librarian at Portland State University. Joan invites potential authors to email her their ideas at jpetit at pdx.edu. Final articles will be due to Joan on February 10. If you have any questions, please get in touch with Joan. More about the theme: Library Marketing and Communications Oregon libraries provide an incredible array of resources and services, but sometimes we struggle to educate our users and each other about all that is available. Over the past several years, many libraries have become more intentional in our efforts to market and promote our offerings, through traditional PR and advertisements as well as newer approaches like social media. However, we may lack the expertise to do this well--or lack the budget to implement all of our ideas. The winter issue of OLA Quarterly will focus on library marketing and communications. We want to examine how Oregon libraries--whether school, public, special, or academic--communicate with our users. What's the most effective way to reach them? What successes have we experienced? What challenges and failures? How do we incorporate marketing functions into our libraries? How do we gain the skills we need to do this well? And how do we keep up with the fast-changing landscape of social media? Possible paper topics include the following: Marketing and communications successes Marketing and communications challenges, failures, and lessons learned (sometimes we learn more when things don't work!) Market research: how do we learn about our users? Communications plans: what are best practices for developing a a formal plan or strategy? How do we make sure we take the time to plan? How do we balance planning and implementation? PR and media relations: is the press release an effective tool? What's the best way to develop relationships with local media? Social media: which social media are most effective and most challenging? How do we keep up with new social media? What strategies work best with various social media? Organizational structure for marketing and communications: who is responsible for marketing the library? How do we include librarians and library staff who don't have formal marketing assignments? What tasks do we do in-house and when do we rely on outside expertise? Internal communications: how do we make sure we are sharing important information internally? Value of marketing and communications Skills, knowledge, and training: how do we develop our own skills in writing, graphic design, and media relations? Generational issues: communicating with various user groups (kids, senior citizens, college students, etc) Marketing and communications for development and fundraising Happy New Year, Charles Wood OLAQ Coordinator http://commons.pacificu.edu/olaq/ wuchakewu at gmail.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I don't want to co-opt this listserv with advertising, but I will include the URL for the book here in case anyone is interested in checking it out further (or purchasing a copy for their library!): www.thetreetalksback.com thanks, Karen -- Karen Clay Library Director Eastern Oregon University "This email and any files transmitted with it are intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

Feb. 10th deadline. Library Marketing and Communications Message-ID: OLA Quarterly seeks submissions! Feb. 10th deadline. Theme: Library Marketing and Communications The Oregon Library Association Quarterly is seeking submissions for the Winter 2015 issue. The OLAQ is a professional/academic journal that showcases the writing and work of library employees in Oregon. Authors retain the rights to their work, and past authors have gone on to have their articles published in magazines such as American Libraries. The OLAQ has global reach because it is indexed by Library Literature & Information Science and Library, Information Science & Technology Abstracts. Full text of the OLAQ is also available through HW Wilson's Library Literature and Information Science Full Text and EBSCO Publishing's Library, Information Science and Technology Abstracts (LISTA) with Full Text. The author deadline has been extended to February 10th, 2015. See instructions for authors here: http://commons.pacificu.edu/olaq/author_instructions.html The theme for the winter issue is Library Marketing and Communications, and will be guest edited by Joan Petit, Communications and Outreach Librarian at Portland State University. Joan invites potential authors to email her their ideas at jpetit at pdx.edu. Final articles will be due to Joan on February 10. If you have any questions, please get in touch with Joan. More about the theme: Library Marketing and Communications Oregon libraries provide an incredible array of resources and services, but sometimes we struggle to educate our users and each other about all that is available. Over the past several years, many libraries have become more intentional in our efforts to market and promote our offerings, through traditional PR and advertisements as well as newer approaches like social media. However, we may lack the expertise to do this well--or lack the budget to implement all of our ideas. The winter issue of OLA Quarterly will focus on library marketing and communications. We want to examine how Oregon libraries--whether school, public, special, or academic--communicate with our users. What's the most effective way to reach them? What successes have we experienced? What challenges and failures? How do we incorporate marketing functions into our libraries? How do we gain the skills we need to do this well? And how do we keep up with the fast-changing landscape of social media? Possible paper topics include the following: Marketing and communications successes Marketing and communications challenges, failures, and lessons learned (sometimes we learn more when things don't work!) Market research: how do we learn about our users? Communications plans: what are best practices for developing a a formal plan or strategy? How do we make sure we take the time to plan? How do we balance planning and implementation? PR and media relations: is the press release an effective tool? What's the best way to develop relationships with local media? Social media: which social media are most effective and most challenging? How do we keep up with new social media? What strategies work best with various social media? Organizational structure for marketing and communications: who is responsible for marketing the library? How do we include librarians and library staff who don't have formal marketing assignments? What tasks do we do in-house and when do we rely on outside expertise? Internal communications: how do we make sure we are sharing important information internally? Value of marketing and communications Skills, knowledge, and training: how do we develop our own skills in writing, graphic design, and media relations? Generational issues: communicating with various user groups (kids, senior citizens, college students, etc) Marketing and communications for development and fundraising Happy New Year!

I believe this is the third year in a row that ODLC has achieved this milestone. In 2015, our circulation count for the year reached 1,434,197. Over the past year we saw a 13% increase in circulation. We are one of an elite group of consortiums with Overdrive across the United States to have reached this mark in 2015.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <1177600.3558942.1452534186967.JavaMail.yahoo@mail.yahoo.com> Karen, Tell our friend: A good professional review is the key to get librarians in the region or even across the country to buy the book by an unknown author. And when librarians like a book, we talk it up, helping generate buzz. Here's the links for submitting to Library Journal and School Library Journal for reviews, follow these links: http://reviews.libraryjournal.com/about/submitting-titles-for-review/?ref=lj-abouthttp://www.slj.com/about-us/review-submissions/ Publishers Weekly, Kirkus, and Booklist all have similar pages and a similar process.? If it's an ebook, Library Journal launched Self-e this year. It's a curated list sent on a regular basis to libraries that opt in to the program. Also LJ just posted the best of Self-e list last week, which generates buzz. Self-e may help libraries find the signal in the noise that is self publishing. http://self-e.libraryjournal.com/ (Full disclosure, I still freelance for Library Journal and School Library Journal on occasion.) Some books that might be helpful: - The fine print of self-publishing : a primer on contracts, printing costs, royalties, distribution, e-books, and marketing / Mark Levine. - Writing children's books for dummies / by Lisa Rojany Buccieri and Peter Economy. If he's selling out of state, he might want to consider a business relationship with a distributor, such as Baker & Taylor and Ingram to make it easier for libraries to buy. Also, and this is only my opinion, he really, really, really should consider having someone who is good at guerrilla marketing revise the copy on his website. Less is more online, and good marketing copy leaves people wanting more. Maybe he can find a marketing student looking to take on a project. The American Marketing Association often has chapters on campuses and they take on projects for nonprofits and other groups. The AMA student chapter and a marketing professor or if the journalism school includes advertising copywriting, he could approach those professors. PRSA is the public relations professional association and they have student chapters. He needs to find someone who gets his vision and can make it work online.

Print-on-demand technology, ebooks, and the prominence of online bookstores have made self-publishing an alluring process to many. But is it right for you? In this 90-minute class, Vinnie Kinsella offers authors insight into the risks and rewards of self-publishing. The class is specifically designed to give authors a clear picture of what the process involves. It will answer the following questions, plus several more: -- What are the costs of self-publishing? -- How do I avoid getting scammed? -- How do I choose the best approach for my book? -- How much work is really involved? Vinnie Kinsella has worn many hats: writer, editor, book designer, project manager, publisher, and college instructor. He currently works with independent authors to produce commercially viable print books and ebooks. He is also in the process of publishing his own project, Fashionably Late: Gay, Bi, and Trans Men Who Came Out Later in Life.

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. Intellectual freedom and protecting patron privacy are core values of librarians. How do we maintain these values when we use consumer online file-sharing and cloud storage services (Google Drive, DropBox, iCloud) to do our work and our patrons use them in our libraries? Know the risks, the benefits, library staff needs, patron needs, and service options so you can make an informed decision that's right for your library. Questions to ask when selecting an online file-sharing service to protect privacy and maintain security: * Are documents encrypted in transit, but decrypted when they arrive/while they are stored? * Are they up to industry standards? * Do the terms and conditions meet your security and privacy needs? * Have they ever had a security breach? * How soon could you access the back-up if there was problem? * Is client-side encryption possible so you have the option to keep your stored documents encrypted? * Is there a way to prevent staff from leaking data or taking it with them when they leave? * What additional security and privacy tools are available for you to personalize to better meet your needs? * What is their disaster recovery policy? * What kind of authentication do they use? Where to find answers to some of these questions for three of the most common online file-sharing services: DropBox Google Drive iCloud Are documents encrypted in transit, but decrypted when they arrive/while they are stored? What does DropBox do to protect my stuff? Google now encrypts cloud storage by default iCloud security and privacy overview Is client-side encryption possible so you have the option to keep your stored documents encrypted? Encrypt your files in your Dropbox Two free ways to encrypt Google Drive files iCloud encryption for your iPhone, iPad, and Mac What additional security and privacy tools are available for you to personalize to better meet your needs? Security and privacy Know your Google security and privacy tools We've given you tools to manage your privacy What are their terms and conditions? DropBox Terms of Service Google Drive Terms of Service iCloud Terms and Conditions What is their privacy policy?

Designing an engaging technology training program can help all library staff get up to speed. Join us for this free webinar to learn about two fun and engaging staff technology training programs in public libraries. Our guest panelists will share details of their programs, including success stories and lessons learned. - The Estes Valley Library dedicated six months to bringing every staff member up to technical literacy through trainings that were hands-on and fun. Tech Guide Diana Laughlin will share their Technology Competencies, the process they created for staff learning, and the way they approached staff accountability. - The Sunnyvale Public Library designed the True Tech Ninja program. Adult Services Librarian Rachel Schmidt will share how they created a gamified program to teach technology skills through seven stages. Team work was encouraged and rewarded, and library administration played a key role in motivating staff to learn. This webinar will be recorded and archived on the TechSoup for Libraries website.

And, many of you are asking, "What's this and how is it different from Oregon Talking Book and Braille Library?" Choice Magazine Listening Service (CML) is a great way for our borrowers--Oregonians who are print-disabled--to access lots of magazine articles in one place. CML produces a cartridge once per quarter that has about 100 magazine articles-an anthology of interesting current information. It's like a "best of" edition that gives a reader a little bit of everything. How does it work with Oregon Talking Books? The cartridge that CML uses is in a special format (digital cartridge). That cartridge needs one of the special "talking book players" supplied by Oregon Talking Books-that's us! Is CML a competing service to Oregon Talking Book and Braille Library? No way! CML is actually one the many items our library offers such as 58,000 audio titles, 20,000 Braille titles, 100 magazines in accessible format, newspapers by phone, descriptive videos, and so much more. So, the most efficient way to connect your readers with CML is to connect them to Oregon Talking Book and Braille Library-we'll handle the rest. You can download an application from here and help them by signing the last page (feel free to call if you have questions). We're also happy to send your library printed copies of the application and colorful brochures to display. Just call or email us if you are interested.

Final reminder for this free webinar - registration is required and limited but I believe there is still room to do so: [projectoutcome_logo_300x75px.png]By now many if not most of you have heard something about "Project Outcome" or "outcome measurements" but maybe you're still not sure what all the hub-bub is all about... well, now is your chance to learn more!

Whether you are a programming librarian or in charge of programmatic decision-making at your library, it is important to understand the different ways to evaluate your programs.

Participants will see real-life examples of how measuring outcomes helped libraries gather better data to create better programs for their patrons. Takeaways At the conclusion of this webinar, participants will: * Be able to identify what an outcome is; * Know how to enroll in and use Project Outcome; and * Be able to apply their understanding of outcome measurement to their own programs.

After discussing the project at FTF's meeting, I've refreshed the Call for Submissions and put up a new post with more ideas and encouragement: "Submissions are Open for Women of Library History 2016 ." I love running this project because I love reading people's well-research and/or personally impassioned tributes to our professional sisters and foremothers. Last year, our new Women included Laura Howey (who lost her position as Head Librarian because she, like all women at the time, was deprived of the right to vote); Dorothy Burnett Porter Wesley (who developed a major research collection focused on people of African descent in the Americas); Mary Titcomb (who was an early bookmobile innovator); Alice Lougee Hagemeyer (a librarian and d/Deaf activist); and Linda McPherson (a beloved community librarian who only became known to the world at large when she was killed in a mudslide). Please consider writing a piece for this year's project, and please pass the word along to your local and state library groups, your progressive library friends, etc. You're welcome to reach out to me with questions, too, at this e-mail or at womenoflibraryhistory at gmail.com.

Message-ID: The latest issue of the Oregon Library Association Quarterly is now available! The theme for the Fall 2015 issue is Mentoring. Articles cover the topics of mentoring in libraries, the OLA Mentoring Program, how mentors can help your library career, and more! Check to see if someone you know has published an article! See: http://commons.pacificu.edu/olaq/vol21/iss3/ Also, the OLA Quarterly is still seeking submissions for the winter issue. The theme for the winter issue is Library Marketing and Communications, and will be guest edited by Joan Petit, Communications and Outreach Librarian at Portland State University. Joan invites potential authors to email her their ideas at jpetit at pdx.edu. Final articles will be due to Joan on February 10. If you have any questions, please get in touch with Joan. Instructions for authors: http://commons.pacificu.edu/olaq/author_instructions.html More about the theme: Library Marketing and Communications Oregon libraries provide an incredible array of resources and services, but sometimes we struggle to educate our users and each other about all that is available. Over the past several years, many libraries have become more intentional in our efforts to market and promote our offerings, through traditional PR and advertisements as well as newer approaches like social media. However, we may lack the expertise to do this well--or lack the budget to implement all of our ideas. The winter issue of OLA Quarterly will focus on library marketing and communications. We want to examine how Oregon libraries--whether school, public, special, or academic--communicate with our users. What's the most effective way to reach them? What successes have we experienced? What challenges and failures? How do we incorporate marketing functions into our libraries? How do we gain the skills we need to do this well? And how do we keep up with the fast-changing landscape of social media? Possible paper topics include the following: Marketing and communications successes Marketing and communications challenges, failures, and lessons learned (sometimes we learn more when things don't work!) Market research: how do we learn about our users? Communications plans: what are best practices for developing a a formal plan or strategy? How do we make sure we take the time to plan? How do we balance planning and implementation? PR and media relations: is the press release an effective tool? What's the best way to develop relationships with local media? Social media: which social media are most effective and most challenging? How do we keep up with new social media? What strategies work best with various social media? Organizational structure for marketing and communications: who is responsible for marketing the library? How do we include librarians and library staff who don't have formal marketing assignments? What tasks do we do in-house and when do we rely on outside expertise? Internal communications: how do we make sure we are sharing important information internally? Value of marketing and communications Skills, knowledge, and training: how do we develop our own skills in writing, graphic design, and media relations? Generational issues: communicating with various user groups (kids, senior citizens, college students, etc) Marketing and communications for development and fundraising.

Recruitment for volunteer reviewers and review-seekers and matching will take place on a quarterly basis. Reviewers and applicants can communicate via whatever method (email, phone, web conferencing, in-person, etc.) works best for both participants. In the Spring quarter, review sessions will be made only in-person at the Oregon Library Association Conference . I?d like to help! How do I sign up?

More about the theme: Access Services in the New Century ?plus ?a change, plus c'est la m?me chose? ?The more it changes, the more it?s the same thing.? - Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr in the January 1849 issue of his journal Les Gu?pes (?The Wasps?) Libraries are continuing to change at a rapid pace, transforming from quiet repositories into a vibrant locations for knowledge and information gathering and exchange. Books are being moved to storage facilities to make room for more collaborative learning spaces. Technology demands are rising. Makerspaces are becoming essential library services. While these changes are both scary and exciting, they are also necessary for libraries to remain true to their core mission: serving our communities and their information needs while respecting their rights to privacy and intellectual freedom. While everything in our industry feels like it is changing rapidly, it also remains the same. The spring issue of OLA Quarterly will focus on access services in the new century. How are core activities like circulation, interlibrary loan, space and stacks management changing? Staying the same? How can we better meet our patron?s needs? What have been our major success and victories in this new century? Possible paper topics include: Experience combining circulation and reference into an Information Commons Circulating technology (laptops, tablets, eReaders, etc.) Human Resource Management Managing physical space to meet patron needs Creating fast and efficient resource sharing services Security, safety and disaster planning Customer Service training successes Technology training for staff Managing reserve collections in the face of rising textbook costs Intersection of Access Services and Collection Development ILS migration / management User Experience from an access services perspective The OLAQ has global reach because it is indexed by Library Literature & Information Science and Library, Information Science & Technology Abstracts. Full text of the OLAQ is also available through HW Wilson's Library Literature and Information Science Full Text and EBSCO Publishing's Library, Information Science and Technology Abstracts (LISTA) with Full Text.

Beatriz Beatriz Guevara REFORMA President 2015-2016 [http://conexionesquecuentan.pbworks.com/f/reforma%20clear%20logo.png] president at reforma.org reforma.org ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: James G. Neal > Date: Fri, Jan 22, 2016 at 11:09 AM Subject: Responses to Your Questions To: president at reforma.org Beatriz, I am honored to be endorsed by REFORMA for American Library Association President. I provide below responses to the questions that you shared: a. There have been many concerns about the persistent under representation of ethnic minorities in the ranks of librarians. How do you perceive this problem and how would you, as ALA President, address this deficiency? The decline in the number and percentage of librarians of color over the last ten years is a severe disappointment to me personally. Having worked on the development of the Spectrum program and the fundraising to increase the number of scholarships, and having served as a mentor for over twenty years in the academic library community working with young and mid-career librarians from traditionally underrepresented ethnic groups in several leadership development programs, I fully expected the numbers to increase. Clearly, we need to continue to invest in and support individuals who want to pursue a career in librarianship and provide expanding financial support. We also need to understand why individuals from ethnic minorities are attracted to the profession, are not interested in the field, and leave the field for other jobs. We need to promote the profession more aggressively and creatively in high schools and colleges to help students to understand the exciting careers librarianship can offer. And we must improve salaries and work life in order to retain individuals, and stop losing great people to other more lucrative and satisfying professions. b. In the context of your background as an employer /administrator, what steps had you previously taken to promote an ethnically diverse work environment? Throughout my career as a librarian and academic administrator at six institutions, I have consistently and aggressively advanced diversity and inclusion, and campus culture as high priorities for leadership, investment and action. At three universities, I was a member of the university-wide diversity planning committee, and at Indiana University chaired the work to develop the institutional strategy, the Bloomington Imperative. At Penn State, Indiana, Hopkins and Columbia, I worked closely with library human resources and staff search committees to expand the number of applicants and individuals interviewed from ethnic minorities, resulting in increased diversity of professional staff at all institutions. I encouraged and supported the participation of librarians of color in professional activities and leadership development programs, and facilitated mentor relationships. I organized staff discussions and invited speakers to campus to stimulate the thinking and action about campus culture and opportunities for inclusion. c. What could ALA do to involve underrepresented groups (ethnic minorities) in the Association? My campaign statement commits to the following. My VISION: ALA leads the profession to translate a commitment to diversity into impactful actions for inclusion. ALA puts us at the tables where the futures of our communities, our nation and our world are being debated, all arenas reflecting an increasingly diverse society. ADVOCATE: ALA will connect librarians to the priority social and economic issues of our time, economic inequality and immigration, for example. ACTIVATE: ALA will sustain and grow the work of the Task Force on Equity, Diversity and Inclusion so that the Association and libraries are models of leadership and action. In order to advance this vision and achieve these goals, I will seek to establish diversity and inclusion as Association-wide and and profession-wide priorities focusing our collective energy and resources. I will expand the diversity of individuals appointed to key leadership and decision making roles in ALA committees and forums. I will strongly encourage nominating committees to present slates with expanded diversity for election to ALA leadership positions. I will support the expansion of formal mentoring programs to enable young and diverse professionals to expand their capacity for professional leadership. I will seek to increase funding to support the travel expenses of your and diverse professionals to enable attendance and participation at ALA conferences and meetings. And I will consult with a diverse group of colleagues to advance ALA's strategic priorities. d. What can library school educators do to recruit underrepresented groups? How can these schools address the issues of diversity within the curriculum so that all graduates are better-prepared to address these needs? Library schools have a special responsibility and capacity to attract ethnic minorities to the profession. They set the expectations and process for professional education. They have the ability to reach out regionally in high schools and colleges to educate and excite individuals about librarianship. They can focus resources on financial assistance that will enable individuals to pay for their education and get through the program more quickly with less debt. They can assist graduates with securing the first professional assignment. They can work closely with librarians in all types of libraries to make sure that organizational culture and priorities are focused on a diverse work force and a positive professional experience. They can conduct the research that will help us to understand the dynamics of career choice and employee retention. They can prepare their graduates through the course work, through internships, and through workshops to be better prepared to work in diverse communities, to promote a professional commitment to inclusion, and to understand how equity of access to information is an essential core value of the field. Also, we must recognize that an expanding number of library professionals are not being prepared in library schools. As the responsibilities and work of libraries changes, individuals with other types of educational preparation and from other professions are needed, thus encouraging us to cast our net more widely and aggressively as we seek to recruit and retain a diverse professional work force. f. If elected ALA President, how can REFORMA work with you to promote diversity within ALA and provide more training opportunities and resources to library staff in the United States? As ALA President, I will commit to the success of our Association-wide and profession-wide focus on diversity and inclusion. It will require an expanding partnership among ALA and the Ethnic Affiliates and the new Joint Council. REFORMA brings to this collaboration critical experience, expertise, understanding and networking in the Latino and Spanish-speaking communities. We need to work together in building a capacity for advocacy on the key priority of diversity and inclusion, for enhanced data gathering and research, for recruitment and retention of new professionals, for educational programming and training, for improved salaries and working conditions, for opening up opportunities for career and professional advancement. -- James G.

LYRASIS, which serves more than 4000 members and partner organizations by delivering e-resources, strategic licensing, training and digital technology resources, and DuraSpace, a leader in the development and deployment of open source technologies and services that promote durable access and discovery of digital data, will begin next steps to determine the feasibility of a combined organization. These next steps will include a deeper assessment of the individual organizations and how they might partner effectively, seeking community feedback on the proposal during a public phase of the due diligence investigation. The respective Boards unanimously approved an "Intent to Merge", which means the organizations, having done a careful initial investigation, will move into a public phase to consider an official plan and pathway for the potential coming together, including a full analysis of member benefits. The decision to eventually come together is not yet final. In this public phase of investigation, each organization seeks feedback from their members and will investigate carefully the value of all services, projects, membership models and organizational cultures to ensure a smooth transition for members of both organizations should a merger agreement occur. The missions of both organizations are deeply rooted in the needs of the research, library, archives and museum communities and a shared mission must serve a combined organization membership equally well. The proposed new organization would continue to serve the LYRASIS and DuraSpace communities by sustaining and growing their combined open source platforms (Fedora [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0017UR63c6qqhN6lUZ7cSaCSFVY1cjsTd8mm_M855iZsnj4JiTxZP22b8IgS6Q0tpS3DGTvP-4qhK58PqIri2usfTFrA8LWsdfdlCGgRVTcHwvvCS6tcw3ojJBYJU2ZaEEXPfRSfb-r-sfwODkM8LC95dfMDhKhx_WLBuRHy5pK4k9GYzbDixuHXw==&c=-wcBiCk2XtsB5K8ViBLgLELRFs_Igxefly5t7jpaFlxkudIF1DrsIw==&ch=mN-r4gG0ZrCxp3J_AvOL026__i170dD5WLJqGlBysxWnolA4zkAHdQ==], DSpace [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0017UR63c6qqhN6lUZ7cSaCSFVY1cjsTd8mm_M855iZsnj4JiTxZP22b8IgS6Q0tpS3tSxb7YuF7BPP8HQcBAkntfM_Z4ChYz7i46Aal1f-EidoVrGsz8hZ-gKnhgTM5dhtoFSI6iwh00VgvczIt2oQMdbyA5k-U4i8pNt8D3s3Dco=&c=-wcBiCk2XtsB5K8ViBLgLELRFs_Igxefly5t7jpaFlxkudIF1DrsIw==&ch=mN-r4gG0ZrCxp3J_AvOL026__i170dD5WLJqGlBysxWnolA4zkAHdQ==], VIVO [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0017UR63c6qqhN6lUZ7cSaCSFVY1cjsTd8mm_M855iZsnj4JiTxZP22b8IgS6Q0tpS3TGVK4GsVscRb9WnitxWFb_0GAwG0OFSo0hxhoMBIAuxKmT9z3F7wERsmHIKKU567YY5JY4VBu_oyXH9J8xzhUnbovsFYyYxB5Bp8jgCPd14=&c=-wcBiCk2XtsB5K8ViBLgLELRFs_Igxefly5t7jpaFlxkudIF1DrsIw==&ch=mN-r4gG0ZrCxp3J_AvOL026__i170dD5WLJqGlBysxWnolA4zkAHdQ==], ArchivesSpace [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0017UR63c6qqhN6lUZ7cSaCSFVY1cjsTd8mm_M855iZsnj4JiTxZP22b8IgS6Q0tpS3FGZLT4uwABa5rNGRgcxYGerY8nHNMG_5uj5KGJiuUKdOonek4kfXfcl1-12FdjXTFYHFzr5I20u3xXYgkae3gBuDiFY6gPHgWW9dfhVKKWc=&c=-wcBiCk2XtsB5K8ViBLgLELRFs_Igxefly5t7jpaFlxkudIF1DrsIw==&ch=mN-r4gG0ZrCxp3J_AvOL026__i170dD5WLJqGlBysxWnolA4zkAHdQ==], CollectionSpace [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0017UR63c6qqhN6lUZ7cSaCSFVY1cjsTd8mm_M855iZsnj4JiTxZP22bwiEb3axdgSdrF5V_v8GebGfbH3CGi3wbgBU-ZI7x8DZ2e156q31Wqb0zUgE_5Z3nb6Pd59NcTOiGjXM3wouBiVluHHqyoiphW96J1toIsR9o7u1aRQgTtJm2bea4Cil0g==&c=-wcBiCk2XtsB5K8ViBLgLELRFs_Igxefly5t7jpaFlxkudIF1DrsIw==&ch=mN-r4gG0ZrCxp3J_AvOL026__i170dD5WLJqGlBysxWnolA4zkAHdQ==]) and hosted services (ArchivesSpace, CollectionSpace, Islandora [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0017UR63c6qqhN6lUZ7cSaCSFVY1cjsTd8mm_M855iZsnj4JiTxZP22b-h25rz5zlgDobrhp3LrW4RO0WPYPmLBqBOfzDVh3DJMtWd0n_D3z4Nf3arNRDl74TJFO3BAYwJ0g23vpBgfL1tJPcDdGInwkR1-ijDjEEnOWYTlbkgdlp4=&c=-wcBiCk2XtsB5K8ViBLgLELRFs_Igxefly5t7jpaFlxkudIF1DrsIw==&ch=mN-r4gG0ZrCxp3J_AvOL026__i170dD5WLJqGlBysxWnolA4zkAHdQ==], DuraCloud [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0017UR63c6qqhN6lUZ7cSaCSFVY1cjsTd8mm_M855iZsnj4JiTxZP22b8IgS6Q0tpS37nqYHv6F33w-XiQ0cC1rqfPZ_XAcClXob2Y9AOv0bPNzxFsd4D-oThEhBdepjlFDdn2VZO4FPl2ivCpdTY3-o81iXf7Gg7a83_LJzuq-Gw8=&c=-wcBiCk2XtsB5K8ViBLgLELRFs_Igxefly5t7jpaFlxkudIF1DrsIw==&ch=mN-r4gG0ZrCxp3J_AvOL026__i170dD5WLJqGlBysxWnolA4zkAHdQ==], DSpaceDirect [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0017UR63c6qqhN6lUZ7cSaCSFVY1cjsTd8mm_M855iZsnj4JiTxZP22b8IgS6Q0tpS3V0kxJC7UrZOBM1eusEo41Gmobw3jaYwQTRdCravG-EzM8qUnBNJUUNUl-VQSbtLcY5rIT3yUzvKmZdgXZ5DDcPu4s5ZKmOLCNXuWT_4qF7M=&c=-wcBiCk2XtsB5K8ViBLgLELRFs_Igxefly5t7jpaFlxkudIF1DrsIw==&ch=mN-r4gG0ZrCxp3J_AvOL026__i170dD5WLJqGlBysxWnolA4zkAHdQ==], ArchivesDirect [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0017UR63c6qqhN6lUZ7cSaCSFVY1cjsTd8mm_M855iZsnj4JiTxZP22b8IgS6Q0tpS3T3B3iusIUjMKcSe67IjOgwYbMwmXjHQkaih2mIeMJum_80yc-0mikJD6GswK7l1bWv9df7j1LhXajZZ-iYcp_DolAjvoIOPVc-_So92UkBXeSR51s7E2gA==&c=-wcBiCk2XtsB5K8ViBLgLELRFs_Igxefly5t7jpaFlxkudIF1DrsIw==&ch=mN-r4gG0ZrCxp3J_AvOL026__i170dD5WLJqGlBysxWnolA4zkAHdQ==]). If finalized, the combined organization would expand its portfolio by offering new technologies and services that further their existing work in the management and preservation of digital scholarship. The new organization would focus on supporting current communities with no reduction in the delivery of services offered by LYRASIS and DuraSpace, while engaging a larger and more diverse group of stakeholders. LYRASIS would continue to support and advance all established commitments, programs and services including strategic licensing of e-resources, products and services, which will continue without interruption. The planned, new organization would be led by an executive team consisting of Robert Miller (Chief Executive Officer) and Debra Hanken Kurtz (Chief Operating Officer). The organizations are now seeking the input of members and the wider research, library, archives and museum communities. More detailed information is expected to be released in the coming weeks and months. Members of either organization are welcome to send comments, suggestions and questions to synergy at duraspace.org [mailto:synergy at duraspace.org]. "Combining the teams and technologies of LYRASIS and DuraSpace will allow us to deliver better and more cost effective end-to-end digital solutions and services to the communities we serve," explained Robert Miller, CEO of LYRASIS. Debra Hanken Kurtz, CEO of DuraSpace, said, "By joining with LYRASIS, DuraSpace will be able to bring our services to a wider membership audience. We will also expand and support our services, and continue our commitment to steward the development of community-supported software. Our members and the archives, libraries and museums communities will all benefit." "The new organization has the potential to transform the larger landscape of libraries, archives and museums by providing multiple pathways for them to connect, collaborate and participate at a local, national and international level. If this merger is finalized, LYRASIS will be able to offer value to members that goes far beyond fairly priced e-resources. The merger will create a robust offering of technical solutions, enriched training and the creation of a unified platform that can meet its members' diverse needs," says Kathlin Ray, Dean of Libraries and Teaching & Learning Technologies at the University of Nevada, Reno and Chair of the LYRASIS Board of Trustees. Paul Courant, former Provost and former Dean of Libraries at the University of Michigan, who is Chair of the DuraSpace Board, added that the combined organizations "have the opportunity to provide a full suite of services that will serve as a foundational platform for digital scholarship to manage research and cultural heritage materials for a broad range of institutions. We have the opportunity to become the home for community source software, providing cost effective solutions for research institutions, libraries, museums, archives and cultural heritage organizations to ensure that their collections are preserved and accessible for future generations." Key Points regarding the LYRASIS and DuraSpace "Intent to Merge" * The DuraSpace and LYRASIS Boards have voted and approved an intent to merge. * Coming together would unite each organization's open-source technology programs under one roof, along with Licensing and Partnerships, training and other membership services. * The organizations have not yet come together, and are moving into a more public phase of investigation at this time. * The DuraSpace and LYRASIS Boards have conducted initial due diligence, and more will follow in the coming months to determine final feasibility of a coming together. * DuraSpace is home to community supported software (CSS) programs DSpace, Fedora and VIVO and hosted services ArchivesDirect, DSpaceDirect and DuraCloud. * LYRASIS is the organizational home for CSS services ArchivesSpace and CollectionSpace, and offers hosted services for ArchivesSpace, CollectionSpace and Islandora. * Bringing the organizations together would mean five CSS programs and six hosted services under one roof, with no changes to the delivery of other services currently offered by each organization. * Next steps will be determined by the respective Boards and we will share any new information as it arises. * No services currently offered by either organization will be interrupted by a potential merger. * Robert Miller would be CEO of the proposed joined organization, and Debra Hanken Kurtz, currently CEO of DuraSpace, would become the COO of the new organization. Key Benefits of a Combined LYRASIS and DuraSpace Organization * Operating as a single entity, LYRASIS and DuraSpace can pool their resources and provide expertise to a broad array of problems the community is tackling. * Together they have strong technical expertise to solve problems, robust processes and systems in place to deliver customer and community solutions, and a full suite of services that could serve as the foundational platform for digital scholarship for a broad range of institutions managing scientific and cultural heritage materials. * LYRASIS and DuraSpace represent strong adjacencies for each other's core missions, communities of service and suite of products/services. * Coming together would represent an opportunity to deliver end-to-end services for core members. * A combined LYRASIS and DuraSpace organization would pursue a broad mission, including the continued development of open technologies and services. * The organization would also reach out to new communities that manage, preserve, and provide access to digital content. * The new unified organization could provide significant economies of scale, synergies in developing open technologies and services, and a strong position for long-term sustainability. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ About LYRASIS LYRASIS (www.lyrasis.org [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0017UR63c6qqhN6lUZ7cSaCSFVY1cjsTd8mm_M855iZsnj4JiTxZP22b5SjkvswCmzV7hZtco20E0Ae17u65YFeNQB3MlkSTIlo1zFrHpRg8fDIomuEMA6uJyuxJ179fuQ3AWeFrMCRnJv5S-IUXK0yYaHcZyAYrYcCF2vcYu9BEmY=&c=-wcBiCk2XtsB5K8ViBLgLELRFs_Igxefly5t7jpaFlxkudIF1DrsIw==&ch=mN-r4gG0ZrCxp3J_AvOL026__i170dD5WLJqGlBysxWnolA4zkAHdQ==]), a non-profit membership organization, partners with member libraries, archives and museums to create, access and manage information with an emphasis on digital content, while building and sustaining collaboration, enhancing operations and technology, and increasing buying power. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ About DuraSpace The DuraSpace (http://duraspace.org [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0017UR63c6qqhN6lUZ7cSaCSFVY1cjsTd8mm_M855iZsnj4JiTxZP22b8IgS6Q0tpS33lioewU-VYMSO68XsSxe8pDWvZCYGCQXwzCwS6qkJccsDKdRsQQRhG__M9Q7Iwk69y-HsGv33OfnOffYJ0qtZypP0N9773Rg-MC2HsM07DU=&c=-wcBiCk2XtsB5K8ViBLgLELRFs_Igxefly5t7jpaFlxkudIF1DrsIw==&ch=mN-r4gG0ZrCxp3J_AvOL026__i170dD5WLJqGlBysxWnolA4zkAHdQ==]) organization is an independent 501(c)(3) not-for-profit providing leadership and innovation for open technologies that promote durable, persistent access and discovery of digital data.

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.

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.
