Subject: [Libs-Or] PLA No-Cost Webinar: The Value of Outcome Measurement for
Library Programs
Message-ID:
Greetings and Happy New Year everyone!
[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. If you would like to enroll in Project Outcome in advance of the webinar, please do so at www.projectoutcome.org and view our "How to Enroll in Project Outcome" webinar for training.

Dear Jobline readers,
The Oregon State Library Jobline has become a blog! 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.)
City & State
Brief description of position (please limit description to 100 words)
Link to the full job announcement
I will be sending periodic reminders about the Oregon State Library Jobline blog for a month or two, encouraging those who are interested to sign up for the RSS feed.
Please let me know your thoughts about possible ways to improve the Oregon State Library Jobline.
Thank you,

OSL Provides Access to Oregon Government Publications on Current Topics
[https://www.oregon.gov/osl/LTLO/LTLOJan2016/taxStudyCommittee.jpg]It's January, and tax time is just around the corner. 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.

2016 Ready to Read Grants Have Been Distributed
2016 Ready to Read grants have been distributed to all 133 eligible libraries. Public libraries received a total of $705,433 in state funds, an average of 94 cents per youth 0-14 years old. The grant applications indicate that 61 libraries plan to spend some state funds on early literacy training, 99 libraries plan to spend some state funds on outreach to local underserved families, and 108 libraries plan to spend some state funds on the summer reading program. These three activities have been identified as public library youth services best practices. Please read the 2016 project descriptions to learn how each library plans to use state funds to develop, expand, or improve youth services. Visit the Ready to Read webpage to learn more about the grant program. Direct any questions to Katie Anderson (503-378-2528).

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.

Subject: [Libs-Or] Dealing with downloaders
Message-ID:
We had someone come in on Saturday (not a regular patron), take a seat at a table around the corner out of eyesight, and proceed to spend the entire day downloading audio book after audio book onto his laptop (we found the stack at the table after he left - and after another patron told someone at the circ desk what he was doing). 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.

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

Message-ID:
Hi,
Could you post the information below to all the members on the Libs-Or
listserv? 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

I don't have any relevant experience or legal advice, but I can suggest one change that might make your library's policy clearer. What you describe as "downloading" is more accurately called copying. Patrons download materials legally all the time, such as ebooks and digital audiobooks via a subscription service such as Library2Go, so your posted notices may be confusing.
This is a frustrating situation, and I hope someone has more useful advice than I've supplied.

I would say it's similar to how one chooses to deal with copyright violations and copy machines; egregious abuse probably deserves a reminder about copyright law.
We've had people setting up camp with their laptops and audiobooks here in the past, a handful of times. My usual tactic is to say something like, "Excuse me, but if you are copying our audiobooks, what you are doing is a violation of copyright. Once you check these items out and take them home, what you do with them is your choice, but I can't allow you to engage in this in the library."
We haven't put stickers on any of our items because it just seems like a lot of work for a few offenders.

Please remind teachers and students that Letters About Literature entries from middle school (7th & 8th grade) and elementary (4th ? 6th grade) students must be postmarked by Monday, January 11th. High school entries were due in December but will be accepted if postmarked by January 11th.
Check that the mailing address on the entry coupon is for Pennsylvania and not Virginia. The address on the entry form on the Library of Congress website was wrong for awhile, but that was updated recently. The address on the entry form posted on the Willamette Writers and the State Library websites was correct all along.

Subject: [Libs-Or] Letters About Literature Has Begun => Reading & Writing Contest for 4th - 12th Graders
Please pardon the cross-posting.
[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. Those with questions about Letters About Literature should contact Blythe Ayne at Willamette Writers.

Dear colleagues:
The Oregon library community lost a fierce champion on December 29th when George Bell died. George was 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 OLA and was active in the Intellectual Freedom Committee and the Legislative Committee. His obituary is in today's Statesman Journal http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/statesmanjournal/obituary.aspx?n=george-bell&pid=177162203&fhid=7982 details his many other accomplishments and it includes information about the celebration of life and opportunities for memorial donations. George also wrote a blog called Polwatch which I would recommend taking a look at to get a feeling for the intellect and passion of the man.
I will miss him.

Subject: [Libs-Or] Technology Assistance - How much is too much?
Message-ID:
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.
Thank you,
Aaron

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.

This is essentially our policy, as well. We also have a policy that we don't handle patrons' devices; we'll verbally walk them through the process, but we don't touch anything.

We only offer technology help related to library services. We stray over the line sometimes, but this policy prevents us from going down a troubleshooting black hole.

Subject: [Libs-Or] Technology Assistance - How much is too much?
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.
Thank you,
Aaron
