[https://www.oregon.gov/osl/LTLO/LTLOJun2016/SchoolChildren.jpg]One hundred years ago, Oregon 8th graders had to pass two days of rigorous examinations before receiving their diplomas. Arithmetic, writing, language, agriculture, and spelling were covered on the first day. The second day included testing in physiology, history, geography, civil government, and reading. The State Library Oregon Documents Depository has paper copies of these tests from 1908 - 1936. Staff recently scanned copies from the years 1916-1936 and added them to the Oregon Documents Repository, our collection of digital publications of Oregon state government. The 1917 Biennial Report of the Superintendent of Public Instruction states that 5,609 Oregon students earned their eight grade diplomas in 1916.

READ! [https://www.oregon.gov/osl/LTLO/LTLOJun2016/Slogan.jpg]The 2016 statewide summer reading program has begun! Children and teens can lose up to three months of skills during the summer when they aren't in school. Libraries can help prevent learning loss by providing the summer reading program in their communities. Research indicates that youth who read over the summer maintain or improve their reading skills. The State Library has provided all public, volunteer, and tribal libraries with membership in the national Collaborative Summer Library Program and summer reading manuals to plan their programs. Library staff can download and print Oregon summer reading certificates to present youth who finish their local summer reading program. The Oregon College Savings Plan sponsored a media package with KATU to encourage Oregonians to participate in the summer reading program at their local library and enter the summer reading sweepstakes to win a $529 college savings plan. Please contact Katie Anderson if you have any questions.

Kudos on their success and thanks again for giving LAL a new home. Nationally, this annual reading and writing program is sponsored by the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress with support from the Dollar General Literacy Foundation. Congratulations to the three winners in Oregon's Letters About Literature (LAL) contest: * Chaevin Hong from Eugene (Level I, grades 4 - 6) * Alexandra Sjobeck from Portland (Level II, grades 7 - 8) * Julien Comardelle from West Linn (Level III, grades 9 - 12) For a complete list of honorees, see this document. They received certificates and prizes and were invited to an awards celebration. Winning letters will be posted on the Willamette Writers website. WW also sent out a press release. Thanks to the Oregon Reading Association and three divisions of the Oregon Library Association - Children's Services Division, Oregon Young Adult Network, and Oregon Association of School Libraries; all are local cosponsors and helped fund prizes. Also, thanks to the nine Oregon judges - a school librarian, public librarian, and author for each of the three levels - who devoted their time to reading entries. For those interested in promoting Letters About Literature next school year, check the Willamette Writers website in late September for entry forms and guidelines. Entries are usually due in December.

The event is Thursday June 16th at 2:00 PM Willamette West in the Valley Library on the Oregon State University campus. * http://bit.ly/osutreetalk Her talk "Poetic dendrochronology and human/tree portraiture in historical photographs from the Pacific Northwest" will be an exploration of human/tree portraiture in early 20th century photography culled from the Gerald W. Williams Collection. This genre includes photographs usually taken to emphasize the tree?s grand majesty, beauty, strangeness and/or size compared to the relative smallness of a person, as well as those that show off the human?s bravado and skills in cutting them down. The title is in reference to the rings inside a tree?s trunk that indicate its age and also to the type of picture in which people hold hands and form a ring around a tree, sometimes to show its size and sometimes to protect it.

In telling our stories we reach for those instances when the spark leaps from personal to universal and the reader says, ?Yes! It?s the same for me.? Those are the moments when the reader feels connected to the writer, she feels known. How can we make this swift leap happen more in our creative nonfiction? In this talk, we?ll look at the duality of the first person pronoun, the primary ?I? who tells the story of remembered events, and the secondary ?I? who tells the story of the writer?s thinking. Exploring the point of view of the secondary ?I,? the narrator who speaks from the present, reflecting and seeking, trying to make sense of the past, forms a bridge with our readers. This presentation is Tuesday, June 7^th . The Portland member meeting of Willamette Writers will be held in the Copeland Room at TaborSpace, 5441 SE Belmont St, Portland, OR 97215.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Carol--Multnomah County Library addresses petitioning, canvassing, etc inside our buildings in our behavior rules , prohibiting: "Soliciting, petitioning, or distributing written materials or canvassing for political, charitable or religious purposes inside a library building, including the doorway or vestibule of any such library building or in a manner on the library premises that unreasonably interferes with or impedes access to the library." As you can see, the rule also addresses petitioners blocking access to the building. Each of our buildings has a designated space where petitioners may stand out of the way of the door where they will not impede access. Keep in mind that if you have a public meeting room generally available to community groups you cannot disallow political activity in that meeting room. The courts have been clear that public libraries must allow political and religious use of their meeting rooms, since we establish a limited public forum when we make public meeting rooms available. But at MCL we do have a rule that prevents outside groups using our meeting rooms from collecting contact information or money from attendees during a public meeting or requiring them to provide personal info in order to register for a meeting in our meeting rooms. Here's a link to our meeting room use policy . Sorry I didn't send this sooner.

URL: From stephaniel at wccls.org Mon Jun 6 15:20:31 2016 From: stephaniel at wccls.org (Stephanie Lind) Date: Mon, 6 Jun 2016 22:20:31 +0000 Subject: [Libs-Or] Please Participate in Oregon Rising Survey about K-12 Education by June 10th Message-ID: <60F5D95E61D70843BCBAADF120BA6080249B64E4@WCCLSEXC10.wccls.lib.or.us> Hello, According to their website, Oregon Rising (http://www.oregon-rising.org/) is "a public outreach effort about what Oregonians want for their children and their schools. At the heart of our work is the prompt to dream big. In the first phase, we ask that you describe [via a survey] the education Oregon students would receive, if it were up to you." The project is sponsored by the "Confederation of Oregon School Administrators (superintendents and principals), Oregon Education Association (educators and teachers) and Oregon School Boards Association (board members of districts, education service districts, community colleges and charter schools)." Survey results will be shared widely. Last week I learned about Oregon Rising at a community event hosted by the Forest Grove School District. They explained the project, showed some videos, had us team up to exchange thoughts and gave us time to complete the survey. Upon taking the survey, it occurred to me that this is a great opportunity to advocate for strong school library programs. I urge you to fill out the survey to document what you value in K-12 education. If that includes strong school library programs, here are some talking points you might share, although you are encouraged to add your own voice to the message. There are several opportunities to add open-ended input. For example, at the end of question 8 about priorities, one can include in the "Other" section something similar to "strong school library programs that include a licensed teacher-librarian." Or, this could be addressed directly in questions 6 or 12, or in later questions. No questions are mandatory. That enables you to click through the entire survey to preview the questions before answering them. * Strong school library programs correlate with increased student achievement in reading and on standardized tests. This is supported by impact studies conducted in numerous states, including Oregon. * The presence of a quality school library program that includes instruction from a licensed teacher-librarian, assistance from support staff, access to a current and plentiful collection, and access to the Internet and technology has the most impact on students, especially those in poverty. * Teacher-librarians teach to national standards and the Oregon School Library Standards, which include instruction in information literacy (how to do research and make your own learning from information), reading engagement (encourage lifelong reading), social responsibility (ethical behavior), and technology integration (using technology to support learning and creating). In the end, this fosters the development of critical thinking skills in students. * Teacher-librarians come into contact with students across several years. For that reason, there is an extra opportunity for connection with students, defining and fostering their interests in reading and other areas and facilitating growth in information literacy (how to do research) and other skills. Also, the library can be a key place for after school programs and activities that extend the school day. * Common Core calls for short and sustained research projects. Teacher-librarians help teachers update research projects to make them more meaningful to students and help students develop questions, assess the reliability of information, synthesize information from multiple sources to form arguments, understand when and how to credit information, and more. These are lifelong skills necessary for success in college and valued by employers. * In Oregon, the number of full-time equivalent teacher-librarians employed in K-12 public schools dropped from 818 during the 1980-81 school year to 130 in 2014-15. Despite Oregon Administrative Rule 581-022-1520 that calls for a "coordinated media program" that "includes instruction" in several areas, library media instruction is often not happening. Filling out the survey should take no more than 10 to 15 minutes, and it closes on Friday, June 10th. Please share this information with others, including your non-library colleagues and friends.

I also have severe and chronic PTSD and Depression. I have a service dog, Hunter. There is a Public Access Test provided by an organization called Assistant Dogs international that Hunter and I review periodically. One thing that can seriously irritate me is the group of people that will buy a vest for their dog and call her a service dog! Hunter had 2 1/2 years of training before I got him. Together, we both had to pass the standards test supervised by a certified professional dog trainer. Plus, although I found money to help, it costs around $35,000 to properly train a dog. I paid multiple thousands to get him.

The rationale for this decision was that: ?After extensive review and reflection, the SLA Board of Directors and senior staff have concluded that HB2 specifically countermands our anti-harassment policy as noted above. Even more broadly, our members are professionals dedicated to transparency and access, and the very tenets of this legislation strike deeply at the core of service inherent in serving as information professionals and special librarians.? I applaud our SLA colleagues for the stand they are willing to take for their principles, and I wonder, again, at ALA?s enduring (and perplexing, to me; infuriating to others) commitment to Orlando for its 2016 annual conference.

Right now, the plan is to keep charging for lost (more than 30 days overdue) items and overdue ILLs and reserves, but to get rid of other late fees. We hope this change will reduce barriers for our students and promote greater usage and satisfaction. I'd love to hear any general experiential information or see models/resources you'd like to share. We also have a few specific questions (please don't feel like you have to answer all of them!): 1. If you've transitioned to a no-overdue-fine policy, what was your rationale? How did you navigate this with your governing body? 2. Did you experience any push-back from boards, governing bodies, or even patrons? 3. What was your process in making this transition? 4. Do you handle communication with patrons about overdue items any differently? 5. If you have a no-overdue-fine policy, can you share its specifics? 6. Have you noticed any differences, for example, in circulation numbers or patron satisfaction? 7. What has and hasn't worked? Thank you so much! We really appreciate your input.

The Board's only concern was purely fiscal -- they needed to replace the lost revenue -- and we were able to do so by restructuring and clarifying our out-of-town fees and offering a "conscience jar" at the desk for people who really wanted to pay something to assuage their guilt. I believe in the first year, the conscience jar made almost as much as we had made the previous year in fines! We kept our communications the same with patrons, sending first and second notices and then a final notice, billing patrons for the cost of the book. For the six months before the switch, we kept track of how many of each notice we sent, and how many items we ultimately received back. We found that we sent more first notices without fines, but ended up receiving back twice as many actual items. Pushback, for us, was totally from patrons. Some saw fines as a way to not feel guilty; many of the comments were along the variety of "why would anyone bring anything back then?", or how getting rid of fines doesn't teach responsibility. You can see this already in the comments on the blog post about Multnomah removing children's fines (https://multcolib.org/blog/20160607/opening-new-doors-library-no-more-youth-fines). We simply said that we expected patrons to continue to uphold the social contract they agreed to when they signed up for their library cards, returning items in a timely fashion in order to make the greatest number of resources available to the greatest number of patrons, and that responsibility should not need a financial penalty in order to be taught. I think this is an issue we all have interest in, and I bet many folks on the list would love to hear what you have discovered! Good luck.

Right now, the plan is to keep charging for lost (more than 30 days overdue) items and overdue ILLs and reserves, but to get rid of other late fees. We hope this change will reduce barriers for our students and promote greater usage and satisfaction. I'd love to hear any general experiential information or see models/resources you'd like to share. We also have a few specific questions (please don't feel like you have to answer all of them!): 1. If you've transitioned to a no-overdue-fine policy, what was your rationale? How did you navigate this with your governing body? 2. Did you experience any push-back from boards, governing bodies, or even patrons? 3. What was your process in making this transition? 4. Do you handle communication with patrons about overdue items any differently? 5. If you have a no-overdue-fine policy, can you share its specifics? 6. Have you noticed any differences, for example, in circulation numbers or patron satisfaction? 7. What has and hasn't worked? Thank you so much! We really appreciate your input.

Avoid printing emails whenever possible! From: Stephanie Lind Sent: Monday, June 06, 2016 3:21 PM To: libs-or at listsmart.osl.state.or.us Subject: Please Participate in Oregon Rising Survey about K-12 Education by June 10th Hello, According to their website, Oregon Rising (http://www.oregon-rising.org/) is "a public outreach effort about what Oregonians want for their children and their schools. At the heart of our work is the prompt to dream big. In the first phase, we ask that you describe [via a survey] the education Oregon students would receive, if it were up to you." The project is sponsored by the "Confederation of Oregon School Administrators (superintendents and principals), Oregon Education Association (educators and teachers) and Oregon School Boards Association (board members of districts, education service districts, community colleges and charter schools)." Survey results will be shared widely. Last week I learned about Oregon Rising at a community event hosted by the Forest Grove School District. They explained the project, showed some videos, had us team up to exchange thoughts and gave us time to complete the survey. Upon taking the survey, it occurred to me that this is a great opportunity to advocate for strong school library programs. I urge you to fill out the survey to document what you value in K-12 education. If that includes strong school library programs, here are some talking points you might share, although you are encouraged to add your own voice to the message. There are several opportunities to add open-ended input. For example, at the end of question 8 about priorities, one can include in the "Other" section something similar to "strong school library programs that include a licensed teacher-librarian." Or, this could be addressed directly in questions 6 or 12, or in later questions. No questions are mandatory. That enables you to click through the entire survey to preview the questions before answering them. * Strong school library programs correlate with increased student achievement in reading and on standardized tests. This is supported by impact studies conducted in numerous states, including Oregon. * The presence of a quality school library program that includes instruction from a licensed teacher-librarian, assistance from support staff, access to a current and plentiful collection, and access to the Internet and technology has the most impact on students, especially those in poverty. * Teacher-librarians teach to national standards and the Oregon School Library Standards, which include instruction in information literacy (how to do research and make your own learning from information), reading engagement (encourage lifelong reading), social responsibility (ethical behavior), and technology integration (using technology to support learning and creating). In the end, this fosters the development of critical thinking skills in students. * Teacher-librarians come into contact with students across several years. For that reason, there is an extra opportunity for connection with students, defining and fostering their interests in reading and other areas and facilitating growth in information literacy (how to do research) and other skills. Also, the library can be a key place for after school programs and activities that extend the school day. * Common Core calls for short and sustained research projects. Teacher-librarians help teachers update research projects to make them more meaningful to students and help students develop questions, assess the reliability of information, synthesize information from multiple sources to form arguments, understand when and how to credit information, and more. These are lifelong skills necessary for success in college and valued by employers. * In Oregon, the number of full-time equivalent teacher-librarians employed in K-12 public schools dropped from 818 during the 1980-81 school year to 130 in 2014-15. Despite Oregon Administrative Rule 581-022-1520 that calls for a "coordinated media program" that "includes instruction" in several areas, library media instruction is often not happening. Filling out the survey should take no more than 10 to 15 minutes, and it closes on Friday, June 10th. Please share this information with others, including your non-library colleagues and friends.

Before Bilingual Storytime: The Outreach Bridge to Engaging Latino and Spanish-speaking Families Thursday, July 7, 2016 / 12 pm Pacific / 1 hour Registration: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/before-bilingual-storytime.html If you want to attract Latino and Spanish-speaking families to your library, the instinct is to launch a bilingual or Spanish-language storytime. It?s the ?if we build it, they will come? logic for attracting community members who are not being served by the library. Libraries may be disappointed to discover that it doesn?t necessarily work that way. In this webinar, recognize the critical role that outreach plays in bridging the gap between Latino and Spanish-speaking families and library services. Hear real-world examples of outreach strategies from librarians who successfully connected with their Latino and Spanish-speaking communities, and learn a basic outreach process that you can adapt for your own community.

In 2015, The Oregon Community Foundation (OCF) partnered with our donors to invest in a statewide needs assessment of Oregon public libraries. Library leaders across the state participated in focus groups, personal interviews and responded to a survey to identify the greatest needs of Oregon public libraries. We are grateful for the library community's involvement in this research effort, which has garnered national attention as the first-ever needs assessment conducted of Oregon's public libraries. In the last Community Grant Program cycle, we received more funding requests from Oregon libraries than ever before. While the application process is competitive, we encourage you to apply for funding should you have a project that aligns with the Community Grant Program guidelines. The next application deadline is July 15th. We look forward to our ongoing partnership with you and are grateful for the important role you play in strengthening Oregon communities.

There were multiple late amendments suggested concerning the LCSH issue. Debbie Wasserman Schultz had put forth an amendment to provide for the restatement of the Library of Congress' existing policy regarding certain Subject Headings. Joaquin Castro also suggested an amendment, and posted his testimony on his Facebook page if you want to see it: https://www.facebook.com/JoaquinCastroTX/. There was an amendment on the other side explicitly to prevent the replacement of the LCSH terms put forth by John Fleming and Paul Gosar. You can find full text of all the amendments online at https://rules.house.gov/bill/114/hr-5325 (items 12, 25, 26, and 31). However, the ALA Washington Office told us this morning that the House Rules Committee met last night and voted NOT to permit any amendments concerning the Library's subject headings to the Appropriations Bill. ALCTS will continue to work with the ALA Washington Office and watch how the issue progresses in the fall. This House bill may remain relevant, or Congress could instead pass a special Resolution simply continuing to fund the government at present levels. If we don?t end up in a continuing funding situation, then we'll need to lobby Senators to make sure that LCSH language isn't inserted into their bill on the Senate floor and to insist that the LCSH language be stripped from any unified (or "conferenced") version of the Legislative Branch appropriations bill before sending it to the President. Emily Sheketoff from the ALA Washington Office will be visiting the ALCTS Board around 4pm on Monday, and she?ll be updating us on this issue.

Message-ID: Here are responses to my request for examples of policies regarding solicitation, advocacy, signature gathering, etc. - We allow it, but as a limited public forum we regulate manner and place. The applicable MCL behavior rule prohibits: Soliciting, petitioning, or distributing written materials or canvassing for political, charitable or religious purposes inside a library building, including the doorway or vestibule of any such library building or in a manner on the library premises that unreasonably interferes with or impedes access to the library. We've have an internal policy, which staff can show/give to patrons, that has more details, including the "place(s)" at our buildings and those leased locations where the property owner allows it. Internal policy: Providing opportunity for political petitioning is part of the library's function as a limited public forum, and supports our mission to uphold the principles of intellectual freedom and the public's right to know by providing people of all ages with access and guidance to information and collections that reflect all points of view The library will allow signature gathering on petitions so long as it does not interfere with library operations. Each library location will have designated areas where petitioners may stand without interfering with library operations. Petitioners who are attempting to gather signatures in other locations on library property will be asked to move to the designated location. Failure to comply with such a request violates rule No. 8 of the Behavior Rules: "Disobeying the reasonable direction of a library staff member or library security officer." Petitioners interfere with library operations when they: * Attempt to gather signatures inside library buildings, including vestibules. * Restrict the ability of patrons to enter or leave a library building. * Restrict access to or block an exterior bookdrop. * Restrict access to or block library driveways or parking spaces. * Refuse to limit their activities to locations designated for petitioning. * Violate any of the Library's behavior rules while on library premises. Any violations will be handled based upon conditions specified in the library's Behavior Rules. The library does not attempt to restrict signature gathering on public sidewalks or rights of way. An example of a "designated location" description: To the left of the parking lot (north) side entrance doors (as you face them). Can accommodate 3 petitioners. They cannot block the bench or bike rack. To the left or right of the Miller Ave. (east) side entrance doors (as you face them). We generally don't allow soliciting for things like money, and the City of Portland has ordinances that actually prohibit things like girl scout cookie sales on library premises. Carol, our City Attorney says that they can collect signatures anywhere on public property - not inside buildings - as long as they don't interfere with people entering or leaving our buildings. We used to tell petition gatherers that they had to stay on the sidewalk by the street, but our CA changed that. That's the policy all city departments follow. Carol--Multnomah County Library addresses petitioning, canvassing, etc inside our buildings in our behavior rules, prohibiting: "Soliciting, petitioning, or distributing written materials or canvassing for political, charitable or religious purposes inside a library building, including the doorway or vestibule of any such library building or in a manner on the library premises that unreasonably interferes with or impedes access to the library." As you can see, the rule also addresses petitioners blocking access to the building. Each of our buildings has a designated space where petitioners may stand out of the way of the door where they will not impede access. Keep in mind that if you have a public meeting room generally available to community groups you cannot disallow political activity in that meeting room. The courts have been clear that public libraries must allow political and religious use of their meeting rooms, since we establish a limited public forum when we make public meeting rooms available. But at MCL we do have a rule that prevents outside groups using our meeting rooms from collecting contact information or money from attendees during a public meeting or requiring them to provide personal info in order to register for a meeting in our meeting rooms. Here's a link to our meeting room use policy. In our Code of Conduct, we say that, while on library property, "Do not solicit or advocate for any purposes except in designated areas." Our designated areas are the meeting room, public bulletin boards, public sidewalks, and gardens/park space.

Feel free to use the link, text, or tweet below: http://www.districtdispatch.org/2016/06/dr-hayden-one-vote-away-confirmation/ Or The Senate Rules Committee voted unanimously this afternoon to recommend that the full Senate approve the nomination of Dr. Carla Hayden to serve as the nation?s next, first female, first African American and just fourteenth Librarian of Congress in history. As the Committee?s vote was announced, ALA launched a large-scale grassroots and social media campaign to encourage all Senators to support her confirmation, and to urge Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) to schedule a Senate vote on her nomination immediately. In a statement released immediately after the Committee?s vote, ALA president Sari Feldman said: ?Once confirmed, she will be the perfect Librarian to pilot the Library of Congress fully into the 21st century, transforming it again into the social and cultural engine of progress and democracy for all Americans that it was meant to be.? Feldman then called upon Dr. Hayden?s supporters ?in every corner of the nation? to use ?ALA?s Legislative Action Center to contact every Senator ? whether by email, tweet or phone ? with this simple message: Please confirm Dr. Carla Hayden now!? Given the Rules Committee?s strong endorsement, and the absence of any public opposition to her nomination, that vote easily could come before the Senate takes its extended summer recess in mid-July, and quite possibly before the fast-approaching Independence Day recess beginning July 1st. That means there?s no time to lose to show your support for librarianship and Dr. Hayden. Fortunately, contacting your two U.S. Senators by emailing, tweeting or phoning them couldn?t be easier. Just access ALA?s Legislative Action Center , choose your preferred method of communicating, and follow the few easy prompts.

The Labor, Health and Human Services, Education and Related Agencies Appropriations Subcommittee approved the bill just two days ago with no amendments or controversial policy riders. The Grants to States program, which the President?s budget proposed cutting by $950,000, will instead be *increased* in the Senate bill by $314,000, raising its total funding to $156.1 million for FY2017. That reflects an increase of over $1.25 million from the President?s request. National Leadership Grants will also receive a $314,000 increase, bringing its total to $13.4 million. Overall, the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) will receive a $1 million increase to $231 million for FY2017.

Another approach used locally is across the river at Fort Vancouver Regional Library. Some years ago they switched to a no-fines policy, with accounts blocked for $25.00 or more in considered-lost items and other fees. It's been a while since I spent time FVLR, but my recollection is that after a time of getting used to the new arrangement, folks thought it was fair and less annoying, while offering enough flexibility to accommodate different patrons' needs. See their current related policies here and here: http://fvrl.org/library-cards > Overdue Bills and Fees http://fvrl.org/library-privileges-policy > III Limitations on borrowing and Internet privileges Best wishes with this discussion at your library, and I look forward to hearing more about others' experiences with this issue.

The Board's only concern was purely fiscal -- they needed to replace the lost revenue -- and we were able to do so by restructuring and clarifying our out-of-town fees and offering a "conscience jar" at the desk for people who really wanted to pay something to assuage their guilt. I believe in the first year, the conscience jar made almost as much as we had made the previous year in fines! We kept our communications the same with patrons, sending first and second notices and then a final notice, billing patrons for the cost of the book. For the six months before the switch, we kept track of how many of each notice we sent, and how many items we ultimately received back. We found that we sent more first notices without fines, but ended up receiving back twice as many actual items. Pushback, for us, was totally from patrons. Some saw fines as a way to not feel guilty; many of the comments were along the variety of "why would anyone bring anything back then?", or how getting rid of fines doesn't teach responsibility. You can see this already in the comments on the blog post about Multnomah removing children's fines (https://multcolib.org/blog/20160607/opening-new-doors-library-no-more-youth-fines). We simply said that we expected patrons to continue to uphold the social contract they agreed to when they signed up for their library cards, returning items in a timely fashion in order to make the greatest number of resources available to the greatest number of patrons, and that responsibility should not need a financial penalty in order to be taught. I think this is an issue we all have interest in, and I bet many folks on the list would love to hear what you have discovered! Good luck.

Right now, the plan is to keep charging for lost (more than 30 days overdue) items and overdue ILLs and reserves, but to get rid of other late fees. We hope this change will reduce barriers for our students and promote greater usage and satisfaction. I'd love to hear any general experiential information or see models/resources you'd like to share. We also have a few specific questions (please don't feel like you have to answer all of them!): 1. If you've transitioned to a no-overdue-fine policy, what was your rationale? How did you navigate this with your governing body? 2. Did you experience any push-back from boards, governing bodies, or even patrons? 3. What was your process in making this transition? 4. Do you handle communication with patrons about overdue items any differently? 5. If you have a no-overdue-fine policy, can you share its specifics? 6. Have you noticed any differences, for example, in circulation numbers or patron satisfaction? 7. What has and hasn't worked? Thank you so much! We really appreciate your input.

Research by Harris Cooper and his colleagues indicates, ?At best, students showed little or no academic growth over summer. At worst, students lost one to three months of learning.? How are you going to help your children remember what they learned last year so they?re ready to level up when they go back to school? Providing children access to books, allowing them to choose what they want to read, talking with them about what they are reading, and going to the library are four things you can do to help your children stay at the same reading level or improve their reading skills this summer (Kim, 2006). But don?t forget, kids need a break from the rigors of school so make fun the priority of summer learning! All public libraries in Oregon offer a free summer reading program. While the fun activities and reading challenges may be different at each library, they all have great books for kids to choose from and opportunities for kids to make new friends. Most libraries also have arts and crafts and STEM activities so kids can do fun thing to practice the skills they learned in school last year. Many libraries also bring in professional performers that put on free shows for families to enjoy together. Contact your local public library to find out what?s going on in your community this summer (Oregon Library Directory, http://libdir.osl.state.or.us/). The statewide summer reading program at local libraries is supported in part by the state general fund through the Ready to Read grant program and the Institute of Museum and Library Services through the Library Services and Technology Act, both administered by the Oregon State Library.

Avoid printing emails whenever possible! From: Stephanie Lind Sent: Monday, June 06, 2016 3:21 PM To: libs-or at listsmart.osl.state.or.us Subject: Please Participate in Oregon Rising Survey about K-12 Education Hello, According to their website, Oregon Rising (http://www.oregon-rising.org/) is "a public outreach effort about what Oregonians want for their children and their schools. At the heart of our work is the prompt to dream big. In the first phase, we ask that you describe [via a survey] the education Oregon students would receive, if it were up to you." The project is sponsored by the "Confederation of Oregon School Administrators (superintendents and principals), Oregon Education Association (educators and teachers) and Oregon School Boards Association (board members of districts, education service districts, community colleges and charter schools)." Survey results will be shared widely. Last week I learned about Oregon Rising at a community event hosted by the Forest Grove School District. They explained the project, showed some videos, had us team up to exchange thoughts and gave us time to complete the survey. Upon taking the survey, it occurred to me that this is a great opportunity to advocate for strong school library programs. I urge you to fill out the survey to document what you value in K-12 education. If that includes strong school library programs, here are some talking points you might share, although you are encouraged to add your own voice to the message. There are several opportunities to add open-ended input. For example, at the end of question 8 about priorities, one can include in the "Other" section something similar to "strong school library programs that include a licensed teacher-librarian." Or, this could be addressed directly in questions 6 or 12, or in later questions. No questions are mandatory. That enables you to click through the entire survey to preview the questions before answering them. * Strong school library programs correlate with increased student achievement in reading and on standardized tests. This is supported by impact studies conducted in numerous states, including Oregon. * The presence of a quality school library program that includes instruction from a licensed teacher-librarian, assistance from support staff, access to a current and plentiful collection, and access to the Internet and technology has the most impact on students, especially those in poverty. * Teacher-librarians teach to national standards and the Oregon School Library Standards, which include instruction in information literacy (how to do research and make your own learning from information), reading engagement (encourage lifelong reading), social responsibility (ethical behavior), and technology integration (using technology to support learning and creating). In the end, this fosters the development of critical thinking skills in students. * Teacher-librarians come into contact with students across several years. For that reason, there is an extra opportunity for connection with students, defining and fostering their interests in reading and other areas and facilitating growth in information literacy (how to do research) and other skills. Also, the library can be a key place for after school programs and activities that extend the school day. * Common Core calls for short and sustained research projects. Teacher-librarians help teachers update research projects to make them more meaningful to students and help students develop questions, assess the reliability of information, synthesize information from multiple sources to form arguments, understand when and how to credit information, and more. These are lifelong skills necessary for success in college and valued by employers. * In Oregon, the number of full-time equivalent teacher-librarians employed in K-12 public schools dropped from 818 during the 1980-81 school year to 130 in 2014-15. Despite Oregon Administrative Rule 581-022-1520 that calls for a "coordinated media program" that "includes instruction" in several areas, library media instruction is often not happening. Filling out the survey should take no more than 10 to 15 minutes. Please share this information with others, including your non-library colleagues and friends.

Some of the topics mentioned at Midwinter: women and gaming in libraries, graphic novels by women, etc. but we seemed to settle on something based on telling stories about your workplace and maybe narrow this down to how to negotiate in your library setting. This can be negotiating all kinds of things and maybe how this is different for women than men. *ACRL Women and Gender Studies Section* *Saturday, June 25* 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM ?

Family history/genealogy continues to be a popular and growing hobby. And FamilySearch is a leader in the use of technology to digitally preserve the world?s historic records and books of genealogical relevance for easy search and access online. With this new partnership, DPLA will incorporate metadata from FamilySearch.org?s online digital book collection that will make more than 200,000 family history books discoverable through DPLA?s search portal later this year. From DPLA, users will be able to access the free, fully viewable digital books on FamilySearch.org. The digitized historical book collection at FamilySearch.org includes genealogy and family history publications from the archives of some of the most important family history libraries in the world. The collection includes family histories, county and local histories, genealogy magazines and how-to books, gazetteers, and medieval histories and pedigrees. Tens of thousands of new publications are added yearly. ?We?re excited to see information about FamilySearch?s vast holdings more broadly circulated to those trained to collect, catalog, and distribute useful information. Joint initiatives like this with DPLA help us to further expand access to the rich historic records hidden in libraries and archives worldwide to more curious online patrons,? said David Rencher, FamilySearch?s Chief Genealogy Officer. Dan Cohen, Executive Director of DPLA, sees the addition of FamilySearch?s digital book collection as part of DPLA?s ongoing mission to be an essential site for family history researchers: ?At DPLA, we aspire to collect and share cultural heritage materials that represent individuals, families, and communities from all walks of life across the country, past and present. The FamilySearch collection and our continued engagement with genealogists and family researchers is critical to help bring the stories represented in these treasured resources to life in powerful and exciting ways.? FamilySearch is a global nonprofit organization dedicated to the discovery and preservation of personal and family histories and stories, introducing individuals to their ancestors through the widespread access to records, and collaborating with others who share this vision. Within DPLA, FamilySearch?s book collection will be discoverable alongside over 13 million cultural heritage materials contributed by DPLA?s growing network of over 2,000 libraries, archives, and museums across the country, opening up all new possibilities for discovery for users and researchers worldwide.

An RFP was issued in March, the evaluation was completed in April, and OCLC (who provides QuestionPoint) was named as the Apparent Successful Proposer in early May. Contract negotiations began almost immediately after. Unfortunately, we have been in contract negotiations with OCLC for over six weeks now, without any notable progress. At this point, the State Library has made the decision to give OCLC until June 30 to sign the contract, or negotiations will be terminated. If the contract is signed, we will start implementing OCLC's QuestionPoint software and begin trainings. If negotiations are terminated, Answerland will close for an indeterminate amount of time while we assess how to proceed. We will send out the next update not later than June 30. I want to thank everyone who has continued to staff Answerland; your support continues to make this a valuable service to Oregonians.

In-Reply-To: References: <576CBD71.1040008@hoodriverlibrary.org> Message-ID: <1812984910.779803.1466816455742.JavaMail.yahoo@mail.yahoo.com> Hi Buzzy, I'm a teen librarian up in Washington. I'm an Emporia grad, which is how I got on this listserv and like Zoe I stay because it's awesome. This is also where I say that I'm expressing my own ideas and opinions. :-) I'm pretty new to the teen services, just hitting the 3 1/2 year mark. Below are some questions that I remember from interviews and some questions based on situations that aren't uncommon to being a teen librarian. I'll ditto Zoe about the importance of gaining insight into how candidates balance intellectual freedom with appropriateness of content/subject matter for different patron's ages and/or individual's personal tastes and/or values and patron privacy. Maybe ask: A parent approaches you to complain that you gave their teen a book with a queer character or sex or information about a sensitive topic. How would you respond? Here's some questions that might be helpful: - [Give them a situation of a teen or group of teens being disruptive at the library] What steps you you take to handle this problem. What would you say to the teen? If these steps don't work, what would you do next?? - Ask candidates to describe or summarize their process to develop, plan and implement teen programs. Ask how they tie programs to library services. Then ask how the candidates would determine if a program is successful, especially compared to the resources needed for the program? - Ask: You planned a program for teens but only 1 or 2 teens showed? What steps do you take to determine why the program wasn't successful? - If one of your coworkers is not teen friendly or teen welcoming, how would you approach or work with them to ensure that teens have a welcoming experience at the library.? - What steps would you take to encourage school officials/teacher to let you talk to students or teachers about the library's homework resources or promote summer reading when that school doesn't have a track record of allowing guest speakers from the library. -? Where are some of the places in our community you would be interested in promoting the library to teens. And what is it about these places that makes you think outreach would work. - A teen comes to the desk with the parent because the teen needs to pick a book to read for school. The teen's parent keeps talking over the teen when you are trying to do a reference interview, telling you that the teen doesn't like to read and telling you what the teen likes and doesn't like. You can tell by the teen's body language, eye rolls and grimaces that the parent's knowledge of the teen's likes and dislikes isn't accurate. What can you do and say to help the teen find a book that the teen will enjoy and make the teacher happy? - There may not be enough time for this, ask the candidates in advance to prepare to give the first 5 or 10 minutes of a program aimed at a specific goal that your library system has for teen services. You could ask them to present on a STEM program, or to a school class or group of teachers on homework resources at the library. If you ask them to present on homework resources, it will give you insight on their presentation skills and how they would pitch your tangible and digital holdings. I hope this is helpful. Good luck finding an awesome teen librarian.

Before Bilingual Storytime: The Outreach Bridge to Engaging Latino and Spanish-speaking Families Thursday, July 7, 2016 / 12 pm Pacific / 1 hour Registration: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/before-bilingual-storytime.html If you want to attract Latino and Spanish-speaking families to your library, the instinct is to launch a bilingual or Spanish-language storytime. It's the "if we build it, they will come" logic for attracting community members who are not being served by the library. Libraries may be disappointed to discover that it doesn't necessarily work that way. In this webinar, recognize the critical role that outreach plays in bridging the gap between Latino and Spanish-speaking families and library services. Hear real-world examples of outreach strategies from librarians who successfully connected with their Latino and Spanish-speaking communities, and learn a basic outreach process that you can adapt for your own community. Presented by: Katie Scherrer, Connected Communities, consultant and co-author of Once Upon a Cuento: Bilingual Storytime in English and Spanish; and Lauren Simon, Community Librarian, Tualatin Public Library Coding for Everyone: How Your Library Can Help Anyone Learn to Code Tuesday, July 19, 2016 / 12 pm Pacific / 1 hour Registration: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/coding-for-everyone.html Computer programming, or coding, is a digital literacy skill that has become as important as reading and writing. Learning to code builds rational thinking and problem-solving skills, providing powerful tools that transfer to other subjects and create lifelong learners. Libraries have stepped up to help everyone learn the basics of coding - preschoolers, elementary school kids, tweens, teens, young adults, mid-career professionals, and retirees. In this webinar, learn why coding is important for everyone. Hear examples of informal and facilitated learning approaches, resources and best practices for library coding programs for a variety of audiences. And the best news is that you don't need any specialized training in computer programming yourself to run a successful program!

Good afternoon! Some of you may have attended the PNR Rendezvous session back in February this year where we had journalist Sally James speak about the use of social media by patients and healthcare professionals. It was one of our best attended events and the recording continues to be viewed. Sally has contacted me recently to get some discussion going about health literacy and communication and the role that public libraries could have in that. She submitted this idea to the #cancermoonshot website that is part of the National Institutes of Health. I encourage public libraries to participate because you are such a vital role in your communities. If you want to start a health reference service or perhaps strengthen the one you already have consider contacting us here at the NN/LM PNR to see what we can provide in taking those steps whether it is classes, brochures, funding or just an informal chat. Take a look at Sally's idea and include your thoughts and ideas in the discussion and spread the word! https://cancerresearchideas.cancer.gov/a/dtd/Public-libraries-as-health-literacy-engines/176545-39827#idea-tab-comments Carolyn Martin, MLS, AHIP / Consumer Health Coordinator NN/LM Pacific Northwest Region University of Washington Health Sciences Library Box 357155 Seattle, WA 98195-7155 206-221-3449 martinc4 at uw.edu http://nnlm.gov/pnr -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Chicago : ALA Editions. 2016. ISBN: 978?0-8389?1467-0. >From the publisher: The prospect of a new automation system can be daunting. When do the benefits of moving to something new surpass the deficits of keeping the status quo? Can the products on the market deliver what libraries need to survive and prosper? Are those based on open source more flexible than proprietary systems? What about those deployed in the cloud? These and dozens more questions arise when libraries enter a selection process. Knowing the options is key to arriving at the best answers for your own organization. Marshall Breeding, who has followed the ins and outs of library technology for more than 30 years, gathers together a roster of fellow experts in the field to offer new practioners, library decision makers, and budgeting staff a comprehensive survey of what?s out there. Providing substance beyond the buzzwords and hype, this guide quickly brings readers up to speed while providing practical advice on such topics as * RFPs: what they are, how to write them and tips for getting bids; * standards, interoperability, and trends in resource sharing; * distinguishing between infrastructure-as-service, software-as-service, and platform-as-service when it comes to cloud computing; * what you need to know to start planning for cloud computing; * how library service platforms differ from the traditional ILS; and * factors to consider when comparing e-book platforms Armed with this book?s clear-sighted perspective, libraries will be empowered to make informed and responsible decisions concerning their technology infrastructure.

Rukaiyah Adams is a fourth-generation Oregonian whose family was part of the Great Migration. They talked about the role of women in the Great Migration and the resiliency of those who participated in it. The following is an excerpt from their conversation.* *Rukaiyah Adams*: Based on my family's story, the women really were the ones who said, "Okay, we need to figure out something else here." The stories are told within the male framework, like the male pastors who led the church and who got jobs. But the real muscle was my great-grandmother and her friends who basically gathered up four thousand people to show from Louisiana to Oregon so that men could get work on the railroad and the women went to work in the garment district. They were the force behind the transition and really were the force behind the re-rooting in this new place. What are your observations about the role that women played in particular in the Great Migration that are distinct from the role that men played? *Isabel Wilkerson*: Women were often the ones who were, in our society, expected to have the primary role of taking care of the children. I have heard many stories of women who, when they were expecting, and they had been born and raised in the South, and they saw what was going on around them, they saw how oppressive and dangerous--there were lynchings and there were beatings and there were whippings in twentieth century time, meaning we are not talking [about] enslavement--the women would say, "I do not want my child raised here." And the mothers would just say that, "I do not want my child here, period." Together the husband and the wife would figure out, "We're getting out of here because we're not raising our children here, we're just not going to raise our children here." That was a universal, very common concern that both men and women would express. But very strongly from the women--that they were the ones who would put their foot down and say, "I'm not staying here another day." The other thing is that insecurities and threats against a person based on gender were different and equally frightening. Women in the South during that era--and you could say even now, but particularly during that era--could not be assured of safe passage just going to work, could not be assured safe passage in their homes by themselves. Anything can happen at any given time and people in the upper caste--meaning the white Southerners--could do whatever they wanted and there would be very little that the men could do. They would attempt to protect their wives and their women, but there were threats against them and they could lose their lives even standing up for them. The world was so distorted that there were reasons why men and women would have a strong urge to escape and to see what life might be like somewhere else. It depended on the family. For some families, it would be the man who would go out first--it's a very common experience that the men go out first to go and stake out some place in another city that was on the route of the migration. Then in other cases it would be the women who would set forth. A lot of it has to do with the circumstances of the individual, the personality and force of will of that individual. *Adams*: That's exactly happened to my family. My great-grandmother's youngest son was killed by a police officer and that was the end for her of participating in the protests in the South. At that point, she thought, "For the sake of my unborn descendants, I've got to orchestrate this move." She was the one who sent seven men out to seven cities around the country. One of them went to Chicago, one went to Cleveland, one went to Long Beach. My grandfather was the son she sent to Portland, and a year later he came back and said, "I think we can make a life there, these are the reasons why." And off four thousand people went and relocated to Portland. I had never thought of her maternal drive as the force behind it, but her son had died and she had seven more who were adults and she was just done with it. And now here we are. . . . *Wilkerson*: For the people in [*The Warmth of Other Suns*] there were three roots, three migration streams. The stream to the West Coast included your family, as a classic example of Louisiana out to the West Coast. In the book, it's Los Angeles, because that was one of the biggest singular receiving stations of the Great Migration out to the west. But African Americans in the South, they went everywhere. There is no state they did not go to. They went everywhere. They went to Maine, they went to Alaska, they went to Hawaii. I actually met a woman who made the furthest possible migration that you can make in this country??. She went from Florida to Alaska. Portland and Seattle were receiving stations from Texas and Louisiana--and other parts of the South, but primarily from Louisiana--as people spread themselves all over the country and reclaimed their status as American citizens. They were acting upon their birthright as American citizens whose ancestors had helped to build this country for free. They had every right to consider any place in the country where they felt there was opportunity to raise their families and to live out what they hoped would be a version of the American dream. . . . Oregon was one of the states that actually prohibited Black people. California had legislation that had been introduced to prevent Black people from living in the state. Oregon was one of the states that actually acted upon that quite some time ago, and you may know more about that than I do. it is interesting that they took their chances and cast their lot in states that had been-they may not have known the legislation of them on the books at the time that they made the migration or that these states had been a resistance in the past. They cast their lot, ironically, in states that had a mixed history or a challenged history when it came to welcoming African Americans to their land, their soil. They took that risk anyway. *Adams*: The interesting thing and the ironic thing about Oregon--and I think my great-grandmother was aware of the state's history of excluding Black people--is that, during the Lewis and Clark expedition, there were two people on the expedition that interacted with the Native tribes. One was a woman named Sacagawea whose story most Americans know, but the other person was a Black man named York. These territories were explored and settled, in a way, as a result of an African American man who was capable of speaking many local Indigenous languages. And so even though there was this legal construct, the social fiber of the place--it's the frontier--the legal overlay almost seems horrible, but it couldn't change fundamentally that this is the frontier and intelligent people thrive if they can tolerate the climate and have the willingness to just set out and to build something. So that's an interesting tension, I think, in the history of this place. *Wilkerson*: Well, I think that is representative of the country as a whole. People of African descent have been involved in every aspect of the building of this country. Starting with Crispus Attucks in the Revolutionary War, for example, and even the settling of Chicago--Chicago was actually founded by Jean Baptiste Point du Sable, a man of African descent. He was Haitian. He was a fur trader before there even was a Chicago-he founded the place. You cannot separate African Americans from American history. It's not knowing the history that kind of erases the role of African Americans. It's so unfortunate that the history does not include us as a part of the storytelling of who we are as a nation--the fact that African Americans have been at every step of the way in creating the country. What you described is a perfect example of that--even though the laws might be there to keep African Americans from participating, they're there anyway. They were often there before the laws were created. It's a reminder to me that we have a long way to go in the country to begin to reconcile the role of people who have been forced to the margins, to recognize how central they actually are. They have been put on the margins and written out of history and excluded by law, but they still have been central nonetheless. *Read more from this conversation at oregonhumanities.org .

We have good news today, the Answerland contract with OCLC is being signed! Tamara Ottum, the Answerland coordinator, will be contacting partner libraries next week with details about implementation and training. I would like to thank everyone who helped us with this project, it was a long and sometimes difficult process but I am looking forward to our next chapter. I would especially like to thank Multnomah County Library and especially Cindy Gibbons for allowing us to work through so many issues while they continued to host the service long after they agreed to. And thanks to Tamara Ottum, the Answerland coordinator, who had no idea what she was getting herself into when she accepted her job at the State Library in October. She has done an amazing job, been a trooper and I can't wait to see what comes next. MaryKay -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
