Creating a Digital Media Space for Today's Teens with Corey Wittig 2-part / 60-minute each workshop Thursday, April 14 & 21, 2016 11:00 AM Pacific Trying to draw teens into your library surely isn't what it used to be... But you can learn how to engage today's teens with a Digital Media Space?a place where teens can go to record videos, use social media, create projects, and interact with the community and their peers on their own terms. In this workshop, you'll learn what it takes to build an effective and popular lab.

Message-ID: Good morning! The OLA SSD annual conference on July 15th in Wilsonville is looking to be a great one, full of new ideas and interesting sessions! Based on some of the feedback we received after 2015?s conference, one of those new ideas we?re going to be including is a chunk of time set aside specifically for networking, open to all conference attendees and presenters. This networking session will go best if there is someone there whose job is to keep it lively and make sure everyone gets as much as they can out of their time. While our committee members are happy to provide a bit of structure for the session, we thought we?d present the opportunity for professional development to all of SSD?s talented members. If you?re a networking rockstar (or if you just happen to know a few tricks for getting a group of strangers to meet), we?d love to have you emcee this year?s networking session! Contact us at olassdconference at gmail.com and share your ideas. If you prefer a phone call to an email, feel free to call conference committee co-chairs Justyne Triest (503-352-1426) or Jennifer Patterson (503-691-3074). For more information about the conference please follow this link: http://ola-ssd.blogspot.com/p/current-conference.html.

The notion of telling and retelling the library story is at the heart of Libraries Transform, the American Library Association?s (ALA) new public awareness campaign. Libraries Transform is meant to give voice to the library profession, providing one clear, energizing message that showcases the transformative nature of libraries, elevating the critical role that libraries of all kinds play in the digital age. The campaign was designed around three key questions: 1. How do we shift perceptions of the library from ?obsolete? or ?nice to have? to essential? 2. How do we energize library professionals? 3. How do we build external advocates to influence local, state, and national decision makers?

Check out this grant opportunity. --Arlene From: Pool, Christine A [mailto:Christine.A.Pool at uscis.dhs.gov] Sent: Wednesday, March 02, 2016 11:13 AM To: D20 Outreach Subject: USCIS Announces Citizenship and Integration Grant Opportunities Dear Stakeholders, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is now accepting applications for two funding opportunities under the Citizenship and Integration Grant Program. These are competitive grant opportunities for organizations that prepare permanent residents for naturalization and promote civic integration through increased knowledge of English, U.S. history and civics. The two programs will provide up to $10 million in grants for citizenship preparation programs in communities across the country. Applications are due by April 22, 2016. Through these grant opportunities, USCIS seeks to expand availability of high-quality citizenship preparation services throughout the country. The two opportunities are: * Citizenship Instruction and Naturalization Application Services: This opportunity will fund up to 36 organizations which offer both citizenship instruction and naturalization application services to permanent residents. * Citizenship Instruction only: This newly created grant opportunity will assist nonprofit organizations in establishing new citizenship instruction programs or expanding the quality and reach of existing citizenship instruction programs. USCIS expects to award up to 10 nonprofit organizations through this opportunity. In doing so, USCIS seeks to encourage the expansion of the existing field of citizenship instruction programs, particularly those offered by small, community-based organizations that have not previously received a grant from USCIS. USCIS expects to announce all 46 award recipients in September. Since 2009, USCIS has awarded approximately $53 million through 262 grants to organizations that have provided citizenship preparation services to more than 138,000 permanent residents in 35 states and the District of Columbia. To apply for this funding opportunity, visit www.grants.gov. USCIS encourages applicants to visit www.grants.gov before the application deadline in order to obtain the registration information needed to complete the application process. For additional information on the Citizenship and Integration Grant Program for fiscal year 2016, visit www.uscis.gov/grants or email the USCIS Office of Citizenship at citizenshipgrantprogram at uscis.dhs.gov.

While opportunities to participate are only available to those associated with school districts right now, I thought some of you might want to know what?s going on. Hi. I thought some of you might be interested in the press release below from the Oregon Department of Education. ODE (Oregon) has joined #GoOpen with other ?states from across the country in committing to support the use of high-quality, openly licensed educational resources in our schools.? So far, Beaverton is the only Launch district listed, but Carla Wade from ODE told me that other districts are welcome to participate. The press release did not mention Oregon?s involvement in the K-12 OER (open educational resources) Collaborate that ODE announced in February 2015, so I asked Carla about that, too. This is her response: ?The K-12 OER Collaborative work is one part of what we are doing. The first step was joining the exchange. Next we will be building a plan and implementing usage of OER. It will be very important to have libraries involved!? She read my mind with that last statement, and that?s why I?m alerting you. If you?re interested in lending your expertise and time to the OER cause, you might want to find out what your district is doing in that area.

[cid:image002.jpg at 01D172FB.9D210640] NEWS RELEASE February 26, 2016 Media Contact: Jenni Knaus at 503-947-5860 or Jenni.Knaus at ode.state.or.us State Joins #GoOpen Initiative Oregon one of 13 states announcing commitment to openly licensed education resources (Salem, Ore) ? Today Deputy Superintendent Salam Noor announced the launch of a new statewide #GoOpen initiative. Oregon is joining states from across the country in committing to support the use of high-quality, openly licensed educational resources in our schools. Oregon was recognized today for its leadership by the U.S. Department of Education at the #GoOpen Exchange, a gathering of state and district leaders, innovative education technology providers, and non-profit organizations working together to support educators transition to using openly licensed resources. ?Access to high-quality, openly-licensed education resources improve teaching and learning in our state,? Deputy Superintendent Noor said. ?We are excited to become a member of the #GoOpen Exchange Community as we continue to build on the good work currently underway in our state and increase access to these resources in Oregon schools.? Oregon was recognized for its commitment to a statewide technology strategy that includes the use of openly-licensed resources as a central component, developing and maintaining a statewide repository for openly licensed resources, and participating in a community of practice with other #GoOpen states and districts to share learning and professional development resources. More information on Oregon?s #GoOpen commitment can be found on the Oregon Educator Network website at http://www.oregonednet.org/groups/go-open. ?States are powerful collaborators in supporting and scaling innovation,? says Joseph South, Director of the Office of Educational Technology at the U.S. Department of Education. ?They can connect forward thinking educators, share effective ideas and approaches widely, amplify successes, and can support districts in leveraging limited resources. With the launch of statewide #GoOpen initiatives, states are helping districts thoughtfully transition to a new model of learning by facilitating the creation of an open ecosystem of digital resources that can increase equity and empower teachers.? Openly licensed educational resources have enormous potential to increase equitable access to high-quality education opportunities in Oregon and throughout the United States.

ALSC recommends these core competencies to all children's librarians and other library staff whose primary duties include delivering library service to and advocating library service for children ages birth to 14. "These competencies represent the best of ALSC's knowledge and experience serving children in libraries," said ALSC President Andrew Medlar. "Thanks to the ALSC Education Committee for putting so much hard work in to this new edition." Effective library service to children entails a broad range of experience and professional skills. The ALSC competencies seek to define the role of the librarian serving children and touches upon seven knowledge and skill sets: commitment to client group; reference and user services; programming skills; knowledge, curation, and management of materials; outreach and advocacy; administrative and management skills; professionalism and professional development. "The ALSC Education Committee thanks everyone who participated in the feedback process," said ALSC Education Committee co-Chair Nina Lindsay. "Children deserve the highest-quality service and we feel that these competencies create a very high standard for library service to children." "Any librarian serving youth can use these in their library," said ALSC Education Committee co-Chair Margaret Tice. "We also encourage the use of these competencies in library science programs that contain youth service classes." As an added bonus to ALSC members, free downloadable versions of the competencies also are available to print for training and workshops. The printer-ready PDFs were professionally designed in a booklet format in color and in black and white. Competencies for Librarians Serving Children in Public Libraries was created (1989) and revised (1999, 2009 and 2015) by the ALSC Education Committee, and approved by the ALSC Board of Directors at the on 2015 American Library Association Annual Conference. The Association for Library Service to Children is the world's largest organization dedicated to the support and enhancement of library service to children. ALSC's network includes more than 4,000 children's and youth librarians, children's literature experts, publishers, education and library school faculty members, and other adults dedicated to creating a better future for children through libraries.

We?ll discuss various ways libraries around the country have used GCFLearnFree.org in their programs and with their patrons. - DigitalLearn.org launched in June 2013 fosters the work of libraries and community organizations as they work to increase digital literacy across the nation, and includes a growing collection of self-directed tutorials for library users to learn basic technology skills. DigitalLearn.org also hosts a community of practice for digital literacy trainers to share resources, tools and best practices. This webinar will be recorded and archived on the TechSoup for Libraries website. Please register for this webinar to receive an email notification when the archive is available.

The Orbis Cascade Alliance is pleased to announce that Clackamas Community College has joined the Alliance, becoming its 39th member. Clackamas has been a participant in the Alliance electronic resources program for several years, applied for full governing membership last year, and finalized membership in February 2016. The college is expected to begin a migration project in early 2017 and join the Orbis Cascade Alliance shared integrated library system (ILS) in June of that year. ?We are so very pleased to welcome Clackamas Community College to the Orbis Cascade Alliance,? said Faye A. Chadwell, chair of the Alliance board of directors, Donald and Delpha Campbell university librarian, and Oregon State University press director. ?In voting to offer membership, the Council of deans and directors felt strongly that Clackamas Community College is a good fit for membership and shares the strong commitment to deep collaboration that typifies membership in the Orbis Cascade Alliance.? ?Clackamas Community College has been planning for membership for the last several years,? said Phillip King, Dean of Instruction and Student Services. ?The library added a new faculty position last year and we are ready to be an active contributor to the Orbis Cascade Alliance. Clackamas Community College looks forward to working with public and private colleges and universities across the Northwest while strengthening library services to our students, staff, and faculty.? In her announcement to Alliance members, Chadwell noted that ?the review team was impressed with the enthusiasm and preparedness of the staff and administration. Clackamas staff did substantial research in preparation for membership and we are impressed with their knowledge of our strategic agenda and enthusiasm for Alliance work. It is exciting to have such a strong new member and key academic institution join from Oregon?s largest metropolitan area.? *About Clackamas Community College* Recognized for its committed, supportive faculty and staff, Clackamas Community College offers classes and services to a diverse student body at three active campuses ? the Oregon City campus, the Harmony Community Campus in North Clackamas and the Wilsonville campus. Extension sites are also located in the towns of Canby and Molalla, where CCC offers English as a Second Language, GED in Spanish, computer science and plenty of community education classes. In addition to transfer degrees that pave the way for an easy transition to a four-year public university, CCC offers students certificates and degrees in more than 80 career and technical programs. *About Orbis Cascade Alliance* The Orbis Cascade Alliance is a consortium of 39 academic institutions in Oregon, Washington and Idaho that serves faculty and the equivalent of more than 275,000 full-time students. The Alliance helps member libraries to advance institutional missions through collaboration and innovation. Members join together their expertise in seeking efficiency and productivity to strongly promote the success of students, faculty, staff and researchers. They bring multiple perspectives together to challenge traditional thinking and elevate the ability to deliver outstanding services, programs and collections. The Alliance supports a number of programs that promote this vision including a shared resource management and discovery system; standardized policies and collaborative workflows; a service that allows students, faculty and staff to easily search and request library materials owned by member libraries; courier service providing delivery of library materials in Oregon, Washington and Idaho; enhanced access to archival and manuscript collections in Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Utah and Washington through a union database of finding aids; an Alliance-distributed print repository; cooperative purchasing of databases and e-journals; and demand-driven and licensed e-book collections. www.clackamas.edu www.orbiscascade.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Roberto Date: Tue, Mar 8, 2016 at 11:59 AM Subject: [REFORMANET] Classifying Transgender Topics: Survey To: reformanet at googlegroups.com [Please share this with any interested parties.] Do you identify as transgender and/or gender-nonconforming? Are you 18 or over? Do you live in the United States? Would you like to discuss the language that you use to describe your gender identity? For the purposes of this study, ?transgender? and ?gender-nonconforming? are used for any person whose gender identity currently differs from the one they were assigned at birth. If so, you are invited to participate in a research study exploring trans language being conducted by K.R. Roberto, a Ph.D. candidate in library and information science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, under the supervision of Dr. Kathryn La Barre, Associate Professor in the Graduate School of Library and Information Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. This study was approved by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign?s Institutional Review Board for the Protection of Human Subjects on Feb. 29, 2016. Survey participants will be asked to review a list of terms used to describe gender identities; they will indicate which term(s) they identify with personally, and then select term(s) with which they are familiar. This survey will take approximately 10-20 minutes to complete. These results will then be used to create a thesaurus of transgender and gender-nonconforming language. Task participants will be asked to review a short list of items (primarily books and videos) and to assign keywords for each item using the thesaurus; this task will take approximately 30-60 minutes to complete. Participants may also volunteer to be interviewed about their experiences; this interview is expected to be no longer than 60 minutes. Participants may choose to participate in the survey, the thesaurus project, or both. Review of the criteria for participation: 1) Currently self-identify as transgender and/or gender-nonconforming 2) Be 18 or over 3) Currently live in the United States The initial survey can be found at https://illinois.edu/sb/sec/3390592.

In this focused conversation, we will address the roles and responsibilities of libraries regarding the protections of intellectual freedom, privacy, free speech, information access, and freedom of the press.

Privacy on Social Media: Libraries Sharing Without 'Oversharing.'" * Bonnie Tijerina, Melissa Morrone, and Audrey Evans (see their June 2015 panel discussion on this at TA3M NYC). * Jessamyn West, the rural "rarin' librarian" on "Approaching the Privacy Topic with Patrons." * Julie Oborny, Web Librarian at the San Jos? Public Library, on their "Virtual Privacy Lab." * Martyn Wade, Chair of the IFLA Freedom of Access to Information and Freedom of Expression (FAIFE) Committee, on the IFLA Statement on the "Right to be Forgotten." * Raymond Pun, a First Year Student Success Librarian at the California State University, Fresno, on "The ALA's Core Value of Intellectual Freedom in China: Challenges and Progressions." * Shahid Buttar, Director of Grassroots Advocacy at the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) on the crucial importance of libraries in the fight to protect privacy rights and intellectual freedom. * T.J.

What can we learn from library innovators and innovators from other sectors and industries that will help us shape the future we want and that our communities aspire towards? Explore with us some of the key trends that point toward specific futures for libraries, and engage in conversations with civic, social, and education innovators to learn more about what they think about the future, and how libraries can become an integral part of their future visions. Libraries and librarians are well-positioned to envision the future ? at the intersection of information, education, technology, and community ? and this dialogue will help bring our best thinking together with the exciting visions of our collaborators, allies, and partners.

Quotes Worth Noting * "Education by choice, with its marvelous motivating psychology of desire for truth and the exercise of this desire for truth, will make life ever cleaner and happier, more rhythmical and artistic." - Buckminster Fuller * "Children are nowhere taught, in any systematic way, to distinguish true from false, or meaningful from meaningless, statements. Why is this so? Because their elders, even in the democratic countries, do not want them to be given this kind of education." - Aldous Huxley * "We know that children are capable of peak experiences and that they happen frequently during childhood. We also know that the present school system is an extremely effective instrument for crushing peak experiences and forbidding their possibility. The natural child-respecting teacher who is not frightened by the sight of children enjoying themselves is a rare sight in classrooms." - Abraham Mazlow * "Academies that are founded at public expense are instituted not so much to cultivate men?s natural abilities as to restrain them." - Baruch Spinoza In the News * The results are clear: Homework is damaging to young kids and should be banned until High School - Signs of the Times * Netflix Billionaire Reed Hastings' Crusade to Replace Public School Teachers With Computers - AlterNet.org Main RSS Feed * How Billionaires Use Non-Profits to Bypass Governments and Force Their Agendas on Humanity - AlterNet.org Main RSS Feed * William Doyle: What Makes Finnish Schools So Successful? - Diane Ravitch's blog -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Our library does not receive e-rate funding and has never filtered at all. I'm putting together information for my board on the whys and wherefores of this decision. In the interest of due diligence, I would also like to give them a realistic idea of the costs involved in implementing, say, opt-in filtering on our public terminals. If your library has implemented opt-in filtering, can you tell me a little bit about how this works, what software you use, and the costs involved? I would love to hear about any feedback you've received from your community as well.

Each certificate is available in .pdf format which everyone should be able to access and .pub format which requires Microsoft Publisher to access. The children's (full color), all ages (black & white), and adult (full color) certificates are bilingual, the teen certificate (full color) is in English only. Ideas to get money for printing certificates locally: * Use your Ready to Read Grant. * Ask your Friends of the Library or Library Foundation for funding. * Ask a local civic organization like Kiwanis, Lions, or Rotary for a donation. * Ask local businesses for donations and recognize their donations-e.g. create a bulletin board or display where you recognize all summer reading supporters, submit a newspaper article thanking donors, put donors' logos on summer reading fliers or other promotional materials. * Ask a local print shop to provide an in-kind donation-i.e. they would print the certificates at no cost to the library, and the library would acknowledge their contribution in some way. Thank you Becky Pearson from McMinnville Public Library, Sam Geary from McMinnville Public Library, and Itzel Sayago from Cornelius Public Library for designing the certificates! Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Katie Katie Anderson, Youth Services Consultant Library Support and Development Services Oregon State Library, 250 Winter St. NE, Salem, OR 97301 katie.anderson at state.or.us, 503-378-2528 [cid:image004.png at 01D0358C.4523C4D0] [http://www.thewwwblog.com/images/blogger-logo.jpg] [http://www.aethlonmedical.com/assets/001/5130.png] [Picture] Q: Why aren't hardcopies of the certificates available anymore? A: In the past, printing and distributing hardcopies of the summer reading certificates was paid for by a donation. The donation funds are no longer available. The State Library surveyed public libraries to ask if they thought printing and distributing the certificates was a good use of State Library funds. The results of the survey were shared with the executive boards of OLA's Children's Services Division and Oregon Young Adults Network, and both organizations recommended that the State Library 1) discontinue printing and distributing hardcopies, 2) make a black-and-white certificate available to download for those who don't have a color printer, and 3) provide a few local funding suggestions. The State Library decided to follow these recommendations. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I download full paper and electronic Marcive bibliographic records once a month. It is my understanding that we are supposed to switch from ?Overlay? to ?Use NZ Record? under match profile in our import profile settings. I Changed the setting to ?Use NZ Record? and experienced a lot of problems with my downloads. When I tried loading paper I got around eight Portland State records with ORZA in the 049 Field. The records loaded automatically without match handling. As an experiment I decided to see if the same thing would happen with the electronic Marcive load. For the electronic load I had to do match handling on almost every record. Only 50 out of 400 records didn?t need match handling. In match handling there were two matches for each record. One normal record with ?MAIN? and another institution's record. Is ?Use NZ Record? what I want to be using for my downloads? And is there a way to avoid getting records that belong to other institutions when choosing "Use NZ record"? Using this method should I expect to use match handling on most records? It looks like a few institutional records are showing up in the NZ. These records show tmp numbers in the 035 and have 049's that belong to a different institution here are two examples. These are two that downloaded without match handling. #936205331 #936205755 Thanks, Susie O?Connor *Government Documents* *Hannon Library* *Southern Oregon University* *1250 Siskiyou Blvd Ashland, OR 97520* -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

You do not need to be a member of ALA to take the survey. [Note: the initial technical issues have been resolved, so if that deterred you from taking the survey, please try again.] The ALA Task Force on Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion was created in the spring of 2014 by then ALA President, Barbara Stripling. The Task Force is currently in the information-gathering phase. To aid with information gathering, it has launched a series of short surveys to be conducted at times to coincide with the ALA Midwinter Meetings and Annual Conferences through 2016. These surveys are designed to help understand the culture of the association, the profession, and our communities with respect to equity, diversity, and inclusion. We recognize that incidents of racial, gender, disability and many other biases and injustices continue to occur across the country on a regular basis. This third survey, however, focuses on the economic implications of participating in ALA functions. The survey can be accessed at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/TEDI3 . Responses will be collected through *March 18, 2016*. ALA members and non-members are encouraged to participate. Please take a few minutes to answer the survey, which should take no more than 7 minutes to complete. ?Embracing and celebrating diversity, and creating a more inclusive profession have been long-standing goals of the American Library Association. With your help, we hope to ensure these values are upheld,? said Task Force co-chairs Trevor A. Dawes and Martin L. Garnar. The ALA Task Force on Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion?s charge is to develop a plan and strategic actions to build more equity, diversity, and inclusion among our members, the field of librarianship, and our communities. The most important Task Force outcome is the public and honest conversation generated by its plan and recommended actions. The final Task Force report will include recommendations for ensuring that a continuing focus on equity, diversity, and inclusion is embedded throughout the ALA organization. Questions about the survey can be sent to the Task Force atdiversity at ala.org . Should technical issues arise, please contact the ALA Office for Research and Statistics at ors at ala.org or call 1 (800) 545-2433. ext. 4273.

Established in 2010, Preservation Week promotes the importance and understanding of protecting and caring for personal and community cultural heritage collections, including books, documents, photographs, textiles, artwork, furniture and any other collectible items. ?Preservation Week is a signature event for ALCTS, and we are delighted to be part of it again this year,? said ALCTS President Norm Medeiros. ?Be it valuable museum pieces or irreplaceable family photographs, the act of preservation is too crucial to defer, and Preservation Week serves as an annual reminder of this important message.? Since its inception, Preservation Week has assisted libraries in providing their communities with a variety of resources and event ideas for furthering the public?s awareness and practice of preservation. Libraries are the perfect place to share preservation information, and every year libraries, archives and museums across the U.S. and around the globe celebrate Preservation Week with a range of unique events and activities. In previous years, libraries and other participating organizations have celebrated the week with events such as - preservation outreach via social networking; - screenings of restored films; - providing advice on how to care for military collectibles; - presentations on how to create family archives; and - introducing youths to archiving on the Web. In addition, Preservation Week is full of free webinars that libraries can share with their communities. This year, two hour-long webinars will take place on April 26 and 28, both beginning at 1 p.m. CDT. Although these webinars are free of charge, you must sign up in order to gain access. *April 26: From Cassette to Cloud: Reformatting Audiotape* Join Krista White, digital humanities librarian at the John Cotton Dana Library at Rutgers University-Newark, for this webinar aimed at individuals caring for audio collections, local historical societies and other cultural heritage groups, and those interested in audio conservation. Through this webinar, communities will learn what it takes to digitize audio recordings and how they can make them accessible to family, friends and the general public. *April 28: Preserving Your Digital Life* The ability to easily create audio and video recordings leads to deep and rich documentation of events that may be personally important but may also have regional or national significance. Preserving these narratives for our families and for future generations means considering how we create the files and how we store them. Presenter Krista White explores best practices for ensuring that these valuable files are preserved for years to come. Another excellent way to engage with your community during Preservation Week is to encourage individuals to submit their preservation questions to ?Dear Donia ?, the Preservation Week advice column that focuses on educating the public about protecting and preserving their photographs, letters, books, heirlooms and other significant keepsakes. Not only is Donia a preservation guru, she is an independent conservation consultant who has worked with a range of cultural heritage institutions. What?s more, every question submitted to Donia is entered in a monthly raffle for a free Document Preservation Kit from Hollinger Metal Edge. For additional ways to mark Preservation Week, please view the online Event Map for events, Event Planner for planning tips and ideas, Event Tools for Preservation Week schwag to give out during your events and Preservation Resources to help you respond to difficult preservation questions. Remember to follow Preservation Week on Twitter and Facebook for the latest news and information. Established in 2010, Preservation Week is supported by the Association for Library Collections and Technical Services (ALCTS). ALCTS is a division of the American Library Association. -- Kristen Kern Fine and Performing Arts Librarian Portland State Library 503-725-5218 kernk at pdx.edu -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Check out the more than 30 academic-focused sessions at this year's conference! On Wednesday, there are 5 pre-conferences of interest; on Thursday, there are 14 sessions of interest; and on Friday there are 16 session of interest. Wow!

The Intellectual Freedom Committee is pleased to bring Alison Macrina of the Library Freedom Project to you for an information-packed preconference session and a concurrent session at the OLA Conference in Bend. Register soon to secure your seat for Alison's preconference session, *Digital Privacy Toolkit*, on Wednesday, April 20.. Alison has become one of the foremost advocates for digital privacy in the library community. You may have heard about Alison as one of Library Journal?s 2015 Shakers and Movers , in the The Nation?s article Librarians Versus the NSA , or in her advocacy for Kilton Public Library in its battle with the Department of Homeland Security over its use of the Tor network. Alison will lead the pre-conference session Digital Privacy Toolkit on April 20, 1 - 5 p.m. This training will provide technology tools to help subvert digital spying from government agencies, corporate data miners, and criminal hackers. These tools address issues including - web tracking -- how search engines collect and store information typed into them, and how sites use scripts and cookies to collect data about our behavior on that site and follow us all over the web - encryption -- ways to secure and obscure communication such as texts and chats - password protection - making, using, and storing strong passwords with password managers - secure deletion of temporary files - private browsing -- common threats from web browsers and how to have better privacy with Tor Browser or privacy extensions, - online anonymity There will be tools appropriate for people at all levels of technical ability, and they can be installed on library computers or taught to patrons in computer classes. Both public service and technology staff will benefit from this training. Questions?

Supervisor Success: Developing Programs That Work Thursday, March 31, 2016 - 10 am Pacific - 3 hours 30 min Registration: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/supervisor-success-symposium.html As our profession transforms and our work changes, nurturing skillful and competent supervisors has become a priority for all types of libraries. Rising to the challenge, many people are creating and offering learning and development programs in their libraries. Whether we hire outside consultants or create in-house programs, we could all benefit from knowing the best practices. Let's learn together about the most effective and low-cost options for supervisor development programs, and how to strategically promote implementation of those programs in our organizations. And let's explore how we might motivate our supervisors to fully benefit from their learning. If you are interested in developing supervisor training programs for your library, get this one-day, free symposium on your calendar! This online event will bring together some of the most effective practices for supporting supervisor development. You'll hear from a variety of different libraries about their programs so that you can begin thinking about offering your own. This symposium is hosted in collaboration with ALA's Learning Round Table. Please see the registration page for more details about the symposium and three topics which will be covered. You can attend any or all of the three sessions. There will be a short break in between the sessions, and your registration link will work the entire time.

Adults Just Wanna Have Fun: Programs for Emerging Adults. Chicago, IL: ALA Editions. There are a wealth of resources out there geared towards serving the needs of toddlers, school age children, young adults, and senior citizens. But something's missing. Library users in their 20s and 30s constitute one of the most underserved populations for public libraries, and there's a scarcity of guidance on how to target them. Barbakoff's fun and practical programming book helps to fill that gap. A 2013 Library Journal Mover & Shaker who was also named one of Flavorwire's "10 of the Coolest Librarians Alive," she shows how to draw emerging adults to the library using a mixture of play and engagement and then keep them coming back for more. Packed with ideas that are real-world tested and approved, this guide * examines the unique needs and expectations of millennials, many of whom are already avid readers and have the potential to become a core part of the public library user base; * presents easily adaptable programs that are fun for a variety of groups, from "Bad Art Night" and "DIY Hot Cocoa Mix" to "Library Speed Dating" and "Homemade Spa Products"; * features a range of events that move the library outside and into the community, such as hosting a book club in a bar, combining books and bikes, partnering with a commercial kitchen for a cookbook group, and a book-to-action program that uses book discussions as springboards to hands-on service projects; * offers advice for garnering funding and support by showing how to connect programming to the library's fundamental values; and * provides tips for prep, setup, and teardown, plus pointers on marketing and outreach. By taking the initiative to offer programming that appeals to emerging adults, public libraries help to make them life-long library users. It's an investment that will reap benefits for years to come, and this book shows how to make it happen. Check out this title's Web Extra!

The Association for Rural & Small Libraries (ARSL) is extending the deadline for proposals for break-out session presentations for the 2016 Conference being held in Fargo, North Dakota on October 27-29, 2016! The new deadline will be Saturday, March 26. Proposals for these 1-hour sessions can be submitted using our online form found here: http://goo.gl/forms/WZ8bXNtVV6 All proposals will be reviewed by the Conference Programming Committee. Those who submit a proposal will be notified whether or not their proposal was accepted by April 29, 2016. This year's conference theme is "North of Normal." We'd like to hear about creative ideas that take your library beyond normal. Our members are small and rural library practitioners and love hearing about practical ideas they can take back to their library and implement. And of course, we are always interested in ways to make the most of small budgets. There is a change in policy this year, we will now allow vendors to submit proposals. They will go through the same process for selection as all proposals. Presentations should not be product specific. To be considered, a presentation must contain useful information without purchasing a product. Workshop presenters will receive ONE complimentary conference registration per workshop title selected, i.e. a team of three presenters working on one workshop will receive one complimentary registration. The committee is looking forward to receiving your submissions. Good Luck!

My consulting work includes library facility assessment and planning which I do in association with architects. Typically, communities are looking for square footage standards to help guide their planning. Frequently, these days one hears someone say that public libraries can be smaller because of e-books, digital content, and so forth. I believe this is, in general, a mistaken assumption. As I help plan libraries, what I hear in community needs assessment after community needs assessment is that residents want spaces in the library, people space ? ? small meeting spaces, conference rooms, programming space for children, for teens, and for adults, meeting room space for communities, maker spaces, silent space, quiet space, collaborative space ? ? in other words, space for people. Public libraries are first about people. And while it is likely that our physical collections will become smaller because of e- content, our service populations have generally grown since our libraries were first built, and will continue to grow. This combined with the multi-various ways people want to use the library accounts for why new public libraries are larger per capita than in the past. I submit that it would be helpful if our revised state standards pointed people in the direction of national norms for new construction of public libraries. For example, I recently calculated square footage of new main library buildings in 2012, using data from Library Journal http://lj.libraryjournal.com/2012/11/buildings/year-in-architecture-2012-public-library-data/. LJ provides this data annually for public and academic libraries. LJ also provides a multi-year summary that includes construction costs, and other useful data. Of 33 new library construction projects, I pulled out the main library projects (as distinct from branches or system headquarters). I calculated the square footage per capita and they range from a low of .91 to over 3 SF/per capita. The median of the 8 main library projects is 1.31 ? 1.63 SF/capita. (I limited my analysis to main library projects because I was doing this for a client with a main library project.) It is reasonable to assume that these new constructions are calculated with due consideration for new technologies and community input and deliberation over contemporary and future service needs. Paying attention to them and pointing our library community to national norms and trends is as useful a guide as any other. I hope that the revised OLA standards for facilities will retain the essence of the opening paragraph and respectfully suggest that in addition the standards either point people to the LJ data, or better yet, provide the analysis of the data, which essentially would establish a square footage per capita range. Respectfully yours, Ruth Metz Ruth Metz -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This gives something in writing that is a ?standard? to work with your council. I would also respond that libraries are meeting spaces and computer spaces, especially in a rural community. Books are still vital, but space for computers and loaning laptops and tablets and having WiFi are cruicial services. Again, in a rural community, the library may be the only location for people to access fast internet. The library needs space for books and computers and people, which usually translates into more than what we used to need for books as people take up much more space. You can also look at Jefferson Library in our own system who are building a new library. The state library lists your population at 1,787 and using the OLA chart, you would be looking at about 2,300 sq. feet. Using the city population of 1,100 it goes down to 1,400 sq ft. I would agree with your councilor that an open space, with ADA accommodation and good technology connectivity would be imperative. I hope this helps. Leah Leah M.

The six-month planning grant will support identification of strategies to increase knowledge, ability, and readiness among performing arts organizations to plan and execute emergency recovery plans. The project planning committee brings together expertise in emergency preparedness from both the cultural heritage and performing arts communities with representatives from: ArtsReady at South Arts, The Conservation Center for Art & Historic Artifacts (CCAHA), LYRASIS, Midwest Art Conservation Center (MACC), National Coalition for Arts' Preparedness and Emergency Response, National Performance Network, New Jersey State Council on the Arts, Northeast Document Conservation Center (NEDCC), and Western States and Territories Preservation Assistance Service (WESTPAS). Mollie Quinlan-Hayes, ArtsReady Director at South Arts, notes that "These nine groups have expertise and have developed programs, services and tools focused on emergency preparedness and recovery. We are now bringing that body of knowledge together to identify potential collaborations and adaptations of what has already been created." Through research, in-person meetings, and focus group sessions, the partners will develop a plan that will be user-centered and scalable to have broad reach across different types and sizes of performing arts organizations. This white paper will include recommendations and opportunities for leaders in the performing arts field to support the readiness and resiliency of their constituents. It will seek to build resiliency in the performing arts sector by increasing the number of organizations with emergency response and recovery plans, and build expertise within the performing arts sector to advocate for and sustain emergency preparedness more broadly. The group expects to complete its planning work by June 30, 2016. We welcome your input on this project.

URL: From dcohen at dcoheninfo.com Sun Mar 20 10:31:28 2016 From: dcohen at dcoheninfo.com (Donna Cohen) Date: Sun, 20 Mar 2016 10:31:28 -0700 Subject: [Libs-Or] Civics for Adults workshops planned Message-ID: <003401d182ce$56211ea0$02635be0$@dcoheninfo.com> Hello folks, It's been awhile since I was on Libs-Or, mainly because I was heavily involved in a couple of intense civic advocacy projects over the past 5 years [which, I can happily say, turned out positively]. Every civic group should have a reference librarian; we bring important - and at times crucial - skills to civic efforts. I am now picking up where I left off 5 years ago with my Civics for Adults: Enhancing Civic Knowledge and Inspiring Political Engagement Series. I'm scheduled at a couple of libraries in N Portland with the first two workshops of the Series. Eventually, there will be 5. All will consist of presentation, discussion and small group activities and, sometimes, short videos. Here are the topics, so far: Scheduled: What to Believe? Misinformation and Political Propaganda Description: We are overwhelmed with messages from politicians, news sources and other media. Establish truth from fiction using critical thinking skills, and learn where to find accurate information. The Constitution, and the Governments we live with Description: We live under our Constitution and a number of different governments. This is a review of basics, and a challenge to reflect with new eyes. Future workshops planned for: * Voting, Elections and Campaign Finance: A Review [planning for fall] * Influencing Government - how to be a "Citizen Lobbyist" * Federal spending via taxes expenditures - "spending by another name". What we need to understand. I have a Facebook page I just started for this endeavor: https://www.facebook.com/Civics-for-Adults-1490728887922036/ If you "like" you will receive posts about scheduled workshops, as well as, eventually, Civics resources. I also have an email list for those who want to keep up-to-date and prefer that method of communication. Below is a longer description about this effort: Civics for Adults workshops grew out of a frustration with what I perceive as a lack of knowledge around many basic areas of civic knowledge, and lack of critical thinking skills, among many people. I am not a historian but I am a teacher and a librarian who combines a long-standing interest in civic institutions with secondary research skills and teaching skills. I have also participated [and sometimes, led] efforts to improve environments around me - from something as simple as getting my graduate program to institute an annual student survey in order to provide feedback to the school [which immediately resulted in the program dropping a course requirement which made no sense!] to working in my community for safety and justice around an extremely important transportation issue, to effecting crucial changes as part of our high school remodel. I follow local and national politics, read relevant materials, and use my infopro skills to ferret out information regarding specific civic developments. I have testified at Portland City Council and in the State Legislature on behalf of various issues. In short, I am an active CITIZEN and would like to encourage others to be so too, whether it is simply by being better informed, on up to taking active steps to support or oppose events that affect you. I continue to learn everyday about the topics which will be covered in the workshops [any teacher will tell you - if you want to expand your knowledge about something, try teaching about it!] and believe in everyone's ability to increase their understanding of what is going on around them, and make sense out of [at least, most :-) ] public events. Come join me on these explorations of civic basics. I conducted these workshops before but then was pulled away by some intense direct civic advocacy this past 5 years. I am now re-instituting them and intend to continue with these workshops for a long time to come. The workshops are structured around specific content. Sometimes there will be short videos to enhance the content; occasionally, guest speakers. The workshops are also an opportunity for civil discourse, where a mixture of ideas is welcome but the goal is expanding one's knowledge, not forcing your views on others. It is a space for people to do what, in our society, is often neglected - ask questions, of each other, and most importantly, of yourself. Keep an open mind and you will undoubtedly find some new and interesting information. Glad to be back!

This gives something in writing that is a ?standard? to work with your council. I would also respond that libraries are meeting spaces and computer spaces, especially in a rural community. Books are still vital, but space for computers and loaning laptops and tablets and having WiFi are cruicial services. Again, in a rural community, the library may be the only location for people to access fast internet. The library needs space for books and computers and people, which usually translates into more than what we used to need for books as people take up much more space. You can also look at Jefferson Library in our own system who are building a new library. The state library lists your population at 1,787 and using the OLA chart, you would be looking at about 2,300 sq. feet. Using the city population of 1,100 it goes down to 1,400 sq ft. I would agree with your councilor that an open space, with ADA accommodation and good technology connectivity would be imperative. I hope this helps. Leah Leah M.

The Pew Research Center has released a new report today that should be of interest to librarians: Lifelong Learning and Technology Overview: A large majority of Americans seek extra knowledge for personal and work-related reasons. Digital technology plays a notable role in these knowledge pursuits, but place-based learning remains vital to many and differences in education and income are a hallmark of people's learning activities Most Americans feel they are lifelong learners, whether that means gathering knowledge for "do it yourself" projects, reading up on a personal interest or improving their job skills. For the most part, these learning activities occur in traditional places - at home, work, conferences or community institutions such as government agencies or libraries. The internet is also an important tool for many adults in the process of lifelong learning. A new Pew Research Center survey shows the extent to which America is a nation of ongoing learners: * 73% of adults consider themselves lifelong learners. * 74% of adults are what we call personal learners - that is, they have participated in at least one of a number of possible activities in the past 12 months to advance their knowledge about something that personally interests them. These activities include reading, taking courses or attending meetings or events tied to learning more about their personal interests. * 63% of those who are working (or 36% of all adults) are what we call professional learners - that is, they have taken a course or gotten additional training in the past 12 months to improve their job skills or expertise connected to career advancement. The complete report can be read online here: http://www.pewinternet.org/2016/03/22/lifelong-learning-and-technology/ and a PDF version of the report can be downloaded: http://www.pewinternet.org/files/2016/03/PI_2016.03.22_Educational-Ecosystems_FINAL.pdf A complete list of library-related reports previously published can be found here: http://libraries.pewinternet.org/ Cheers, Darci [cid:image002.jpg at 01D18457.33D89C30] Ask me about the Edge Initiative! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Darci Hanning * Technology Development Consultant Library Support and Development Services * Oregon State Library 250 Winter St. NE, Salem, OR 97301 503-378-2527 darci.hanning at state.or.us [cid:image004.png at 01D0358C.4523C4D0] [http://www.thewwwblog.com/images/blogger-logo.jpg] [http://www.aethlonmedical.com/assets/001/5130.png] [Picture] -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Her father, the eccentric William Augustus Newell, served as governor of New Jersey from 1857 to 1860; in 1880, he was appointed governor of the Washington Territory. Governor Newell had appointed his daughter Eleanor as his personal secretary. He then appointed his other daughter, Eliza, to the post of Territorial Librarian. The Governor?s nepotism forced the legislature to change the Territorial laws to permit women in office.

Young" Date: Mar 25, 2016 6:59 AM Subject: [alacoun] Library of Congress to Cancel the Subject Heading ?Illegal Aliens" To: Cc: I just saw this news. Our action at Midwinter is mentioned. Executive Summary In response to constituent requests, the Policy and Standards Division of the Library of Congress, which maintains Library of Congress Subject Headings, has investigated the possibility of cancelling or revising the heading Illegal aliens. PSD also explored the possibility of revising the broader term Aliens. It concluded that the meaning of Aliens is often misunderstood and should be revised to Noncitizens, and that the phrase illegal aliens has become pejorative. The heading Illegal aliens will therefore be cancelled and replaced by two headings, Noncitizens and Unauthorized immigration, which may be assigned together to describe resources about people who illegally reside in a country. Other headings that include the word aliens or the phrase illegal aliens (e.g., Church work with aliens; Children of illegal aliens) will also be revised. All of the revisions will appear on a Tentative List and be approved no earlier than May 2016; the revision of existing bibliographic records will commence shortly thereafter. -- Courtney L.

Beloved children's book author Beverly Cleary was born on April 12th, 1916, in McMinnville and raised in Portland. As a librarian, Cleary learned that elementary school children were looking for and struggling to find books about kids like themselves. In 1950, Cleary published her first book, Henry Huggins, which is about a boy, his dog, and his friends who live in the Hollywood neighborhood in Portland. Since then, Beverly Cleary has published over 40 children's books, most of which are still in print and relevant to kids today. She has won many literary awards, including the John Newbery Medal for Dear Mr. Henshaw and Newbery Honors for Ramona Quimby, Age 8 and Ramona and Her Father. Her most recent book, Ramona's World, was published in 1999. Beverly Cleary now lives in California so she can be near her family. Many elementary school libraries will be celebrating Beverly Cleary's 100th birthday by participating in "Drop Everything and Read" (D.E.A.R.). It is a national reading program many schools participate in every year during the month of April. The D.E.A.R. reading program started after Beverly Cleary first wrote about it in Ramona Quimby, Age 8. Most public libraries will be celebrating Beverly Cleary's 100th birthday the week of April 12th. Contact your local public library to find out what activities they have planned and when they are taking place. The Oregon Library Directory is available online at: http://libdir.osl.state.or.us/. OPB is celebrating with an Oregon Art Beat special "Discovering Beverly Cleary"-the first-ever documentary about the author. It includes a rare, new interview with Beverly Cleary herself! Watch the special on Thursday, April 7th on OPB TV or online at: www.opb.org/beverlycleary. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Here is a less formal, more encouraging call for submissions for the Summer 2016 OLA Quarterly. We know everyone is busy with budget season, Summer Reading prep, every little and big thing it takes to run a library, getting ready to attend PLA/OLA... but we also know that there are awesome examples of our four themes out there that deserve to be shared. Who is being collaborative, flexible and adaptable as community needs are changing? What about the library as a platform for learning and participation? Working toward achieving a sustainable funding base and finding success? We want to know! How are you or your library building community? What about proposing an article on the library as people, as place or as platform? Are you providing access to content in all formats? How? We are extending the deadline for proposals to Friday, April 15 and we will respond quickly to authors. Finished articles will be due on June 15 - that's as long as eight weeks to get your library and it's projects, successes, ideas and dreams to us for publication! Please consider this opportunity to shout and share. Hey, if you are going to PLA you can find out more about the Aspen Institute's work by attending ?Rising to the Challenge: Re-Envisioning Public Libraries? in Action on Thursday, April 7, 2016, 4:00pm - 5:00pm. See http://www.libraryvision.org/pla_2016_conference . Let's make the Summer 2016 OLAQ an energizing mix of stories - with your help and experiences we will! Thanks much, Pam North & Ann Roseberry Here is the original announcement... The Aspen Institute?s ?Dialogue on Public Libraries? was created to help advance the work that public libraries are doing to address community challenges and to support the transformation of public libraries for the digital age. The Dialogue concludes that the long-term health of libraries is essential to the long-term health of the communities they serve and identified four strategic opportunities for action to guide the continuing transformation. The Oregon Library Association Quarterly Summer 2016 issue will focus on those four main themes: ? ALIGNING LIBRARY SERVICES IN SUPPORT OF COMMUNITY GOALS ? PROVIDING ACCESS TO CONTENT IN ALL FORMATS ? ENSURING THE LONG-TERM SUSTAINABILITY OF PUBLIC LIBRARIES ? CULTIVATING LEADERSHIP We welcome submissions that speak to any of these areas. Please send a brief summary (250 words or less) of your proposed article to pamnorth1 at gmail.com by April 15, 2016. Co-editors Pam North and Ann Roseberry will notify authors ASAP and finished articles will be due by June 15, 2016. See instructions for authors here: http://commons.pacificu.edu/olaq/author_instructions.html For more information on The Aspen Institute?s work see: http://csreports.aspeninstitute.org/Dialogue-on-Public-Libraries/2014/report/details/0090/Libraries http://www.webjunction.org/news/webjunction/reenvisioning-action-guide.html For more about the OLA Quarterly see: http://commons.pacificu.edu/olaq/ The OLAQ has global reach because it is indexed by Library Literature & Information Science and Library, Information Science & Technology Abstracts.

The Board of Trustees seeks an experienced, creative, and innovative Library Director who can continue to grow a vibrant library serving the Prineville and Crook County communities. The successful applicant will be energetic, innovative, and public service oriented with excellent traditional and technological library skills. Situated in the heart of Oregon, Prineville and Crook County attract outdoors enthusiasts, families, and retirees who appreciate the region's natural beauty, mild climate, and the friendly small-town environment. Agriculture, forest products, and manufacturing are joined by new industry, such as data centers, recently constructed by Facebook and Apple. A new hospital, new elementary school, and new home construction signal a recovering and revitalized economy. Covering approximately 2,900 square miles, Crook County is rich in forests, rangelands, and irrigated agricultural fields. The elevation of Prineville is 2,868 feet and receives an average of 10.5 inches of moisture per year. County residents find themselves only 25 minutes away from the regional airport in Redmond, 40 minutes away from Bend, and three hours from Portland, Salem, and Eugene. The library facility, designed by noted architect Richard Turi, was constructed in 1999 and offers a spectacular view of the rimrocks and is a comfortable gathering place for patrons. The library consists of a collection of 56,000 items and shares an ILS and resources with Deschutes and Jefferson county libraries. The new director will benefit from a knowledgeable and dedicated staff, an active and engaged library board, a supportive and generous Friends of the Library organization, and appreciative patrons.

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. Vendors & Patron Privacy What kind of electronic resources does your library license, and what information do these companies collect about your patrons? Librarians can advocate for patron privacy by working with vendors. Companies that provide services -- from circulation system software to ebooks to other digital content -- may not be as aware of privacy concerns as we are, and we can point out instances where companies are unnecessarily collecting and storing data on individual patrons. A school library example A large group of school librarians from the Portland metro area meets each month in in Oregon City to share ideas and discuss library-related issues. Many of us use Follett?s Destiny Library Manager, one of the most popular library circulation systems for schools. During a discussion on patron privacy and data collection, we talked about the fact that Destiny collects individual user circulation data, and that this circulation history could not be cleared by patrons or librarians. An October 2015 article in School Library Journal, ?FL School District Lets Parents See What Kids Are Reading? , concerned some of us. We felt that school districts should have choices about what data they keep on library patrons and how long they keep it. We drafted a letter to Follett asking that they modify their software to provide an option for clearing circulation history. We noted that other library circulation systems, including those used by public libraries, have more privacy options. Some even allow patrons to choose whether to keep their circulation history or erase it once items are returned. Nine school and district-level librarians signed the letter. Follett responded promptly to say that they would make the software change. They currently have an update that will allow school districts to decide whether to immediately delete patron circulation data when items are returned, keep this information for a year, or keep it longer. They are providing this update to Destiny Library Manager on April , 2016, as part of the Destiny 13.5 AU1 release. I am pleased that our group brought up the issue of patron privacy and data collection, and that Follett responded so quickly to our concerns. We think this is a good example of how librarians can influence vendors and make sure our patrons are protected. Consider your own library vendors Take a moment to think about your library?s electronic resources. What companies do you use to purchase these resources? What are their privacy policies? What data do they collect and store? Some of that data may be helpful -- usage statistics, for example. However, if the browsing, reading, or research habits of individual patrons can be identified from that collected data, it might be time to start a conversation with that vendor.

Sager ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Don Wood Date: Tue, Mar 29, 2016 at 1:27 PM Subject: [alacro-l] ALA, AASL collaborate with NJLA and NJASL to support South Orange school libraries To: "alacro-l at lists.ala.org" The American Library Association (ALA) and the American Association of School Librarians (AASL) collaborated with the New Jersey Library Association and the New Jersey Association of School Librarians to oppose proposed cuts to school librarians in the South Orange Maplewood School District. The proposed cuts come on the heels of statewide property tax limits that leave the school district with projected income that is unable to keep pace with expenses. In a unified voice, these organizations pointed out the essential role of school librarians in preparing students to succeed in school and as citizens. In a March 18 op-Ed in the Village Green, ALA President Sari Feldman and AASL President Leslie Preddy note the many roles librarians fill within their learning communities: ?A school librarian is a certified teacher who provides a continuum of information literacy instruction; an information expert who curates a collection of resources that are tailored to a school?s learning objectives and its students? unique needs; and a technology specialist who develops ethical and capable digital citizens. School librarians are also essential partners to their colleagues, bringing instructional resources, technology and literacy tools to the curriculum, as well as professional development to teachers and staff.? Feldman and Preddy also note the consistent and broad research that shows student achievement is higher in districts with certified school librarians. They point specifically to a 2010 study of New Jersey school libraries by Rutgers University that echoes this research. The full op-ed is available here. The American Library Association and American Association of School Librarians are concerned to learn that the South Orange Maplewood School District proposes to cut school librarian positions from the 2016-2017 budget. Now, more than ever, school librarians play a vital role in preparing students for success in an increasingly complex information landscape. School librarians are the heart of vibrant learning communities and wear many hats. A school librarian is a certified teacher who provides a continuum of information literacy instruction; an information expert who curates a collection of resources that are tailored to a school?s learning objectives and its students? unique needs; and a technology specialist who develops ethical and capable digital citizens. School librarians are also essential partners to their colleagues, bringing instructional resources, technology and literacy tools to the curriculum, as well as professional development to teachers and staff. Classroom libraries are not the answer. School librarians develop collections that address a diverse range of student academic needs, abilities, and personal interests, and the resources available through the school library are equitably available to all students. It would be prohibitively expensive and spatially impossible to replicate this depth and range in a classroom library. With classroom libraries, students have less access to the resources they need to succeed as students; and they have less opportunity to develop their passion for reading, ignite their curiosities, and blossom as lifelong learners. The newly reauthorized federal education statute, The Every Student Succeeds Act, includes provisions that specifically support school library programs, school librarians and the role they play in academic achievement, literacy and digital citizenship. This legislation recognizes the value that strong school library programs bring to student learning. SOMSD librarians have received national recognition from such organizations as code.org, the International Society for Technology in Education, and the Academy of Education Arts and Sciences. In addition, two SOMSD libraries have received School Library Media Program of the Year awards from the New Jersey Association of School Libraries. With a track record of strong library programs, your school librarians are well-positioned as partners in developing ESSA-aligned plans for the district?s literacy, digital literacy, and community learning initiatives. Numerous studies from across the nation?including a 2010 study of New Jersey School Libraries conducted by Rutgers University?show that student achievement is higher in schools with certified teacher librarians. As Rutgers lead researcher Dr. Ross Todd stated, ?New Jersey school libraries and school librarians contribute in rich and diverse ways to the intellectual life of a school, and to the development of students who can function in a complex and increasingly digital information environment.?[1] The return on investment in school libraries is clear. While the elimination of school librarian positions might seem like the answer to current budget challenges, the long term cost to the students and your district will outweigh any short term savings. We urge the South Orange Maplewood Board of Education to reconsider the proposed cuts.

Generally, these restrictions don?t apply to other public buildings like the library, DMV, grocery store, etc. You should definitely check with your legal counsel, however, most public libraries put policies in place that prevent patrons from causing a disturbance or threatening behavior with a weapon. That means that open carrying weapons is legal and of course if they are licensed (and properly concealed) your staff and patrons shouldn?t even notice it. ?

I've been told by our City Attorney and the local police chief that we can bar open carry of firearms on library premises, but cannot bar concealed carry. You may also want to consult on the "dangerous weapons" section; I've also been advised that there is very little we can do about other weapons (such as knives) unless the individual is using them in a threatening manner. Under Oregon law, you can openly carry almost any type of knife on your person. Any new policy regarding weapons is likely to draw interest, potentially of a litigious sort, so I'd make sure you're airtight on this one.

Gale has pulled out some of their content about Beverly Cleary into a Biography in Context portal for your convenience. This may be a great resource for students doing homework projects and anyone else who wants to learn more about Beverly Cleary. There are biographies, articles from academic journals, audio recordings of interviews, and articles from magazines and newspapers. You may want to link to this page from your website or promote it on social media during the month of April. Some of resources included in the Beverly Cleary Biography Portal are not part of the statewide database licensing package, but Gale has generously allowed all Oregonians access to them via our statewide contract during the month of April in honor of Beverly Cleary's 100th birthday.

I've been told by our City Attorney and the local police chief that we can bar open carry of firearms on library premises, but cannot bar concealed carry. You may also want to consult on the "dangerous weapons" section; I've also been advised that there is very little we can do about other weapons (such as knives) unless the individual is using them in a threatening manner. Under Oregon law, you can openly carry almost any type of knife on your person. Any new policy regarding weapons is likely to draw interest, potentially of a litigious sort, so I'd make sure you're airtight on this one. Kirsten Brodbeck-Kenney, MLIS Library Director Driftwood Public Library 801 SW Hwy 101, #201 Lincoln City, OR 97367 541-996-1251 (desk) 541-996-1262 (fax) www.driftwoodlib.org >>> Oregon Trail Library District Director 3/30/2016 7:12 AM >>> Good morning everyone, We have a new policy for appropriate library use. It includes this as not allowed on Oregon Trail Library District property. Carrying firearms and dangerous weapons of any type (except by law enforcement officers). I was told yesterday by a board member, via a city police officer, that banning firearms on public property is illegal. Does anyone else have this in their policies or know if it is illegal to ban firearms on public property?

Nominations are being accepted online at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/3L8LD9L. The deadline for nominations is Friday, April 29, 2016, 5:00 pm. For more information, please read further. About Answerland and the AAC Answerland is Oregon's statewide virtual reference service. The oversight of Answerland was transitioned from Multnomah County Library to the State Library on July 1, 2015. As part of the process, Answerland's former Advisory Board is being reformed as the Answerland Advisory Committee under the State Library's LSTA Council. The State Library wishes the AAC to continue in the role of advising on the development, implementation, promotion and evaluation of Answerland. The ultimate vision is to create, maintain and continually improve a high-quality online reference program that succeeds in serving the needs of all residents of Oregon. About Serving on the AAC The State Library seeks representatives with experience and/or interest in virtual reference and collaborative library services, as well as a desire to reinvigorate and grow the Answerland program. Initial terms begin July 1 2016, and can run for one, two, or three years (terms will be staggered to ensure the continuity of future membership). Efforts will be made to keep a balance of representation from both type of library and geographic region. Based on current membership, special consideration will be given to nominees from school, community college, and tribal libraries. Process and Timeline for Nominations The deadline for nominations is Friday April 29, 5:00 pm. Self-nominations are encouraged. If you know someone who may be interested, please pass along this message. Once confirmed, the slate of nominees will be presented by the State Library staff to the LSTA Council at their May 2016 meeting. Appointees will be notified by the State Library as soon as possible after the LSTA Council meeting. Questions? Please contact Tamara Ottum at tamara.ottum at state.or.us or 503-378-6506.

Here is how you can be part of this amazing event that only takes place the last Saturday in September during even-numbered years.
