Please download and read her new article, ?Play With Purpose at the Hillsboro Public Library,? here: http://journals3.library.oregonstate.edu/olaq/article/view/vol25_iss4_3 >From Theresa?s article: ?The Sensory Forest is perhaps the most popular space, with kids enjoying playing Magna-Tiles on the light table, stacking log-shaped pillows, and creating delightful scenes with the elephant-shaped seats. While this quiet space was designed to be a soothing environment with its dimmed lights and soft seating, it can get pretty rowdy with all the pillow and elephant rearranging! We have experimented with closing the sliding doors halfway to further enclose the space and it seems to help sometimes. Having a staff member pop in and hang out can also help stabilize the energy.?

Unlike early literacy, which is undoubtedly the most common priority amongst librarians serving youth, tween services might seem like the newest passing trend. Some libraries have dedicated tween librarians who not only offer tween-specific programs but curate tween collections. Other libraries offer combination tween and teen programs. At the downtown Eugene Public Library, tween programs fall under the umbrella of school-age programming for youth ages six to twelve. Trend or not, youth services staff have excitedly begun to delve more deeply into this often forgotten stage.? Read on to learn how it?s done, from Alec Chunn and the Library Squad!

Cuentos en el Parque: Taking Library and Other Community Services on Location,? here: http://journals3.library.oregonstate.edu/olaq/article/view/vol25_iss4_5 >From Jaime?s article: ?During the middle of the summer in Sherwood, Oregon, if you are walking through the grounds of one of the largest parks in town, you will see tables set up for lunch for a crowd, other tables with free books and community information, bubbles filling the air, and about 100 kids and their grown-ups enjoying a camp-like experience. You will see families of all demographics enjoying stories and songs in Spanish and English. You will see happy faces lined up for lunch, and a riotous enthusiasm that only kids exude during a fun craft or outdoor game activity. You might wonder what is going on. Is it a school gathering? Is it a city event? Is it a community fair? The answer is all of the above. It?s Bilingual Storytime in the Park/Hora de cuentos en el parque, an annual storytime session that runs once a week for six weeks during the summer, now in its fourth year.? Jaime says the best part of her job is getting to work in her hometown community. Her passion is providing readers? advisory to youth, especially reluctant readers. When she is not at work she is knitting, biking, reading, gardening, and discouraging rebellious chickens from crossing the road at her small farm in the country.

She made many positive contributions to libraries in Oregon. However, she was also a strong supporter of eugenics and later married Governor Walter Pierce who was affiliated with the KKK. The State Library will be taking the following actions to address this aspect of the State Library's History: * Update the information about her on the State Library's history web page to include a more accurate and fuller picture of who she was, including the troubling aspects of her beliefs and affiliations along with her contributions. * Create a contextual statement to post next to a plaque with her image that is hanging in the second floor hallway of the State Library. If you are interested in learning more about Cornelia Marvin Pierce, State Library staff member Cam Amabile has written an article about her for the upcoming OLA Quarterly summer issue. This issue will feature articles written by State Library staff and will highlight programs, services, and history of the State Library. Watch for it later this summer! Library Support and Development Services Upcoming Monthly "Topic Talks" from Library Support and Development In response to COVID-19, Library Support began hosting a number of online meetings, one series being weekly "topic talks" on Wednesdays. After some internal discussion, we decided to shift our "topic talks" to a monthly schedule and to broaden the scope. For August we're pleased to present in partnership with the Public Library Division, "Centering Race in Library Reopening: Opportunities for Systems Change" with Sonja Ervin, Equity and Inclusion Manager at Multnomah County Library. Please join us on Friday, August 7 at 10:00 via Zoom (no registration required). In September (date/time to be determined) we will host a "Virtual Meet and Greet with Library Support." This will be an opportunity for all library staff from around the state to learn more about the services and programs that Library Support offers as well as a chance to meet our new Program Manager, Buzzy Nielsen. Stay tuned for further details! The "Topic Talks" schedule is also available on our Continuing Education LibGuide. Have a topic you'd like to suggest for a presentation and/or discussion?

Tuesday, August 25 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Data & Statistics Resources for Reference - Amy Coughenour, State Library of Oregon What percentage of Oregonians speak Spanish? What is the total number of Oregon-based wineries and where are they located? How many Oregonians in a given zip code or census tract live in rented housing? Library users are increasingly asking these types of data-driven reference questions from many different points of view: student homework, social services, consumer research, small business owners or entrepreneurs, and more. This presentation will review and demonstrate recommended resources for assisting users with data and statistics reference questions. Afterward, attendees will be equipped with lists of recommended resources and methods to add more data and statistics resources to their lists.

Since that time, a high percentage of state employees have been working remotely from home. State buildings, including the State Library, have been closed or had their access greatly restricted. State Library services have continued throughout the pandemic although with some necessary changes. A small number of staff have been working onsite providing loans to other libraries, curbside pickup to state employees and scanning documents from our collection to help both the general public and agency patrons. Despite the change in work environment and the innumerable Zoom meetings, the work of the state has continued. In support of that work, the State Library has responded to both the challenges and opportunities brought about by the pandemic by increasing the number of opportunities to interact with state employees, albeit almost exclusively in a virtual sense. First, we've doubled the number of formal training opportunities/classes we offer to state employees and have found that teleworking state employees are eager for the opportunity to learn more about the resources available through their State Library. In particular, our O'Reilly learning platform has been invaluable in providing state employees access to professional development resources. Reference librarians embedded with specific agencies have reached out to agency managers arranging for special training sessions as well as training tracks for their staff. They have also offered "office hours" opportunities for state employees to engage in deeper discussions about projects and work they are undertaking. In summary, the COVID-19 pandemic has increased the amount of networking and collaborative opportunities for our reference staff. The end result has been to put us in touch with an even larger number of state employees that need increased library support. Yes, the change in our work environment has brought us both, challenges AND opportunities. We have been meeting both head on..

Each member of SOX visited an outreach location in the community for approximately one hour once a week where they interacted with lots of children, teens, and caregivers who in some cases were not regular library users. We brought science experiments, games, trivia, robots, art activities, and much more and left families excited about what the library has to offer! Regardless of the size of your staff or the funding available, we believe there are aspects of our outreach plan that would work for any library.? Before landing in beautiful Oregon, Amy worked as the Teen Services Manager at ImaginOn in Charlotte, NC. Amy especially loves offering STEM programs and hosts an annual Science Geek Out Festival where families come to dig deep into all sorts of science topics. She co-authored a book called *Career Programming* *for Today?s Teens: Exploring Non-traditional and Vocational Alternatives*, which was published by ALA in 2018; it is a terrific resource for any library staff looking to increase workforce development programming for young adults.

WINDOWS - Print Only What You Want Novice [printer] The other day I am writing a press release. I send it to the printer so that I can proof it and make notes on the hard copy. The next day I add a few more paragraphs, but instead of printing the whole thing again ... wasting paper and ink ... I choose the "print selection" option. Do you know about this hidden gem in the printer choices on most computers? It's called "Print Selection." It does just that, prints only what you have highlighted or selected. Here's another use! Have you ever wanted to print only part of a long, scrolling web page so that you wouldn't include the side bars, advertising and waste endless amounts of paper and ink? Some pages go on and on and on... and you may only need to print a section of it. You can highlight the text you want and just print that! Perhaps you have an email that you want to print only part of the note. You know that you can select the print current page or custom range option, but that still doesn't get you want you need. With Print Select, you can be more efficient and save a few trees! TIP: If you have a really cluttered website page and want to print portions of it (out of sequence), see this article for a free online tool to "print website pages without all the junk." How to Use Print Selection Let's use a web page for this example. We see a very helpful article, but we only want to print the middle section. [web page to print] [print selection] By highlighting what we wanted to print and then using Print Selection, instead of printing the full page, we were able to take control and only print what we wanted. How Print Selection Works In most printer options, there is a choice called "Selection," you just need to know where to find it. As in the website page example above: [print selection] ? Start by highlighting the section of content you want to print in your document or website page. ? Right-click and choose Print. ? Depending on what kind of printer or what version of software you have, there are a few different ways to get to this option. ? We found Selection only under the Options menu. [print selection] Or, if you're working in a Microsoft document (2010 or newer): ? Go to File, Print. ? In the Settings section, click on the down arrow for Print All Pages. ? The Print Selection option becomes available. Click on this choice to only print what you have highlighted. CAUTION: If, when you are trying to print only part of a website page or document, and the Print Selection option is not showing or grayed out, it may be because you didn't highlight / select anything to print. Now you can take control of your printing options and not waste so much paper and expensive ink!

Or Google Hangouts! Or Microsoft Teams! How can this damage your professional image? When you're on one of these calls, you're in the spotlight. Many folks have video cameras these days so that all the attendees can see everyone. Hey, that's a great thing. It helps with communication to see your face, your reactions. It also means you have to be on your toes when it comes to being in front of the camera all the time. I recently attended a group meeting using Google Hangouts instead of Zoom. Well, it was wonderful to see everyone because this was the first time we had met. But I quickly realized that in this tool (unlike Zoom), I couldn't see myself. Now it's not that I like being on camera or watching me, but it made me realize that I had better not let my guard down and appear to be bored or inattentive ... or worse. I had no visual reminder that they could see me ... and what I would look like. So I put on my most interested face and was conscious of nodding my head in agreement, smiling and reacting so that the others knew I was involved in a positive way. Being careful in these meetings isn't just for when you can't see yourself. I attended a different meeting, a group of women who were getting together at night. One looked like she was asleep. Another appeared to be paying more attention to her pet. I guess they didn't realize how everything is "magnified" when you're seen on video. (Not literally, but many more things are noticed than if you were sitting in a conference room. Plus we tend to slip with our professional demeanor when we're calling in from home.) When you're on camera in a collaborative online meeting, it will serve you well to act as if you are in a spotlight during the entire session. I guarantee you many are watching. You want to make the best impression.

It's easy to put all the burden on your shoulders, especially when you have folks on your team who keep needing you to: make decisions for them, tell them exactly what to do or require you to check up on them to make sure tasks have been done. So here's how you can avoid much of that. These are three important elements of leadership for getting things done effectively, so that everyone is helping and on the same page. 1. Communicate the big picture ... for each thing you ask them to do. Tie the task into the vision or the organization's goals so that they feel proud of what they are doing. 2. Discuss how they fit in ... make sure the individuals understand the importance of their roles in achieving the big picture. 3. Make two-way communicating a matter of habit ... don't let the talking be all them or all you. Share ideas, insights and questions. When you come to the table with mutual respect, these three steps will start to come naturally. If you intentionally ensure they happen on a regular basis, you'll get in a habit and your results will soar. When your team members understand the big picture, know how they fit in, and how to have two-way communications with you, your work life becomes exponentially better. Not only will you get more done as a team, but some responsibility will be lifted from your shoulders, you'll be putting out fewer fires and you'll be enjoying the role of leader. For more tips and six questions to ask in two-way conversations, watch the "How Managers Become Great Leaders" webinar.

Please download and read her latest article, ?Consistency, Not Cookie-Cutter: Maintaining Individuality Within a Library System,? here: http://journals3.library.oregonstate.edu/olaq/article/view/vol25_iss4_7 >From Brystan?s article: ?Jackson County is 2,802 square miles and has 15 libraries to serve its 11 incorporated cities and 34 unincorporated communities. That is a lot of kids and families wanting quality library programming. However, what the kids and families want in our Applegate branch could be very different from what the kids and families an hour south at our Ashland branch would want. It?s also important, though, that no matter which of the 15 branches is closest to you, you can walk in there and find not only relevant materials, but also experience a variety of fun, educational, and meaningful programming. This is why I look for ?consistency, not cookie-cutter? when coordinating library services at our many branches.? When Brystan isn?t immersed in storytime, tutus, and toddler aerobics, she writes dark speculative fiction (because balance is key). She lives in Southern Oregon with her partner, and their pets: a cat, a bird, and several fish. She loves floral prints, dinosaurs, true crime podcasts, and reading (she is a librarian after all). This article was written before the events that began this spring. The OLA Quarterly Coordinator takes full responsibility for the lateness of this issue.

As a result of this change, Census workers have moved up their timeline and have started visiting households to follow up with those who have not yet responded all over the state. Communities with the lowest response rates will be the focus of operations, so if you want to check on your community's current status, go to: https://2020census.gov/en/response-rates.html We've heard reports that Census workers have encountered some problems and have had law enforcement called reporting them as trespassers. Please help get the word out in your local officials and community about the work the Census is doing to get an accurate count of your community ... letting people know that this work will be essential to the future economic well-being of the library and the community is really important. One approach to messaging is to get the word out that households can prevent a Census visit if they call or go online to fill out their information.

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to shape daily life, NNLM Reading Club calls your attention to three literary works focusing on the impact of pandemics or infectious disease. * The Murmur of Bees by Sof?a Segovia, translated by Simon Bruni * Severance: A Novel by Ling Ma * A Song for a New Day by Sarah Pinsker Set within the 1918 influenza pandemic and the Mexican Revolution, The Murmur of Bees continues the Latin American tradition of magical realism associated with writers like Gabriel Garc?a M?rquez and Isabel Allende. Severance is more dystopian, but with a sense of satire amid the outcomes of an apocalyptic plague. A Song for a New Day explores a musician's experience in a pandemic that makes public gatherings illegal and concerts impossible. While you are exploring fictional stories amid outbreaks, we encourage you to stay informed about real-life infectious disease. To learn more about each of these titles and to download book discussion guides, promotional materials and infectious disease information, visit the NNLM Reading Club Public Health guide.

I can both laugh a bit at my early naivet?, and feel concerned that I?ve grown too old to connect with my intended audience. Regardless, my dedication to serving the teens in my community has only grown stronger as I move further into my second decade of being ?that librarian who came to my school and talked about books!?? A native Michigander, you?ll catch her Midwestern accent in passionate conversation. April is an explorer, a maker, a mother, and a retired roller derby skater.

Leading up to this current crisis, many state and federal policies undercut tribal sovereignty, leaving tribal healthcare systems underfunded and ill-equipped to respond to the spread of COVID-19 in their communities. In response, Tribes have exercised their inherent sovereignty to implement a range of infection control measures, with community-led initiatives providing creative and nimble solutions to the evolving crisis. This webinar will introduce participants to key principles in Indian law and Tribal public health law, discuss the impact of COVID-19 in Indian Country, and identify response strategies based upon practical experience.

Please download and read their new article, ?Baby, I Was Born This Way! How Local Teens Helped a Library Deliver an LGBTQ Collection,? here: http://journals3.library.oregonstate.edu/olaq/article/view/vol25_iss4_9 >From their article: ?While the organization We Need Diverse Books has increased the number of high-quality LGBTQ books being published by mainstream publishers, it hasn?t gotten easier for teens to find them on library shelves. They often don?t know the books exist and aren?t comfortable asking for assistance from library staff. In order to bridge this gap, librarians working with teens need to be more proactive in designing collections and spaces that improve access to LGBTQ resources. In this article, we outline how Oregon City Public Library worked with a local group of LGBTQ teens to develop a Teen LGBTQ collection. By sharing our experiences and the resources we utilized, we hope to provide other libraries with a process they can use to meet the unique needs of teens in their communities. While a dedicated LGBTQ collection was the best choice for us, something different might work better for you.?

Please download and read her latest article, ?Our House is on Fire: How Librarians can Help Young Climate Activists,? here: http://journals3.library.oregonstate.edu/olaq/article/view/vol25_iss4_10 >From Jen?s article: ?Of course, libraries have long been considered bastions of democracy, and librarians the staunch defenders of civil liberties, the Bill of Rights, the freedom to read, the right to privacy, and intellectual freedom. Nancy Kranichin focused on the function of libraries in democracies during her tenure as ALA President from 2000 to 2001. She advocated that libraries play an active role in civic education, including acting as ?civic information centers,? gathering difficult-to-locate materials, but also that they serve as active educators, teaching ?youth to participate in community problem solving? (2012, p. 81). In the well-known radical collection of essays *Revolting Librarians*, Celeste West contended that ?true professionalism implies evolution, if not revolution; those who ?profess? a calling have certain goals and standards for improving existence, which necessarily means moving, shaking, transforming it? (1972, p. [i]). It is not all that revolutionary to call for librarians to begin providing young activists with the information they need to preserve their own freedom and safety as they attempt to save the very civilization that makes our profession possible.? Jen Ferro has been a professional librarian for 20 years. Her current research interests include sustainability, information literacy curriculum design, media manipulation and disinformation, artificial intelligence, mass surveillance, and civil liberties. Jen grew up on an Arizona cattle ranch and is also an actor, vocalist, and playwright. She is co-founder of the Lane Climate Action Team at Lane Community College.

COMMUNICATING ... Switch out the "but" 3. LEADERSHIP ... What do you see in this? [declutter desktop] Photo by Derek Thomson on Unsplash Brought To You By State Library of Oregon [State of Oregon] Visit Tech-Talk.com Database Username: ORLIBTECH Password: ORLIBTECH Questions about Tech-Talk? darci.hanning at state.or.us DESKTOP - Declutter Your Desktop with 3 Tips Novice [declutter desktop] My computer desktop gets cluttered with multiple open programs, shortcuts and documents every day. It gets a bit difficult to focus and complete tasks with so much digital mess. If you feel the same pain, let's look at these three Windows shortcuts to tame your desktop. 1. Minimize ALL Open Windows with One Click (in Windows 10) You're humming along during the day and have many apps open. Then you need to get to your desktop. Instead of manually minimizing each item one-by-one, there's one click that can do it for you. It's a tiny little feature that's good to know about. It's called the Show Desktop Button. It's a narrow, vertical button at the very right of your toolbar ? barely visible. Just click on it once to minimize all open windows.(They don't close, just disappear into your toolbar). Want to bring them all back? Click the Show Desktop Button again to restore the open windows. [minimize open programs] I like this feature because I can't always remember shortcut keys. But if you like them, the Windows + M key will also minimize ALL open windows (but it won't bring them back). Remember "M" for "minimize." 2. Minimize All but ONE Window with Aero Shake (For Windows 10, 8 & 7) Now suppose you have a bunch of windows open and you want to focus on a SINGLE program or document ? just ONE. You could minimize them all individually, but that's not efficient. NOTE: If you have multiple monitors, this works like a dream. A quick trick? Aero Shake lets you quickly minimize all open windows (programs, files, Internet browsers) except the current active window ... by shaking its title bar. This cool feature lets you "shake" all the rest away. It doesn't close the files, or programs, but minimizes them. To use Aero Shake, grab the window you want to keep open by clicking in the title bar at the top with your left mouse button. Then shake your mouse back and forth quickly left to right (while continuing to hold down the button). After a few quick shakes, all the other open windows on your desktop will be minimized to the taskbar. [aero shake] Ready to bring them back? Just shake again and all windows will be maximized. Or, of course there's a shortcut key option. Click inside the application you want to keep, then click the Windows + Home key for the same outcome. 3. Hide Desktop Icons with One Click You may find yourself in a situation where you have a cluttered desktop full of icons and need to hide them temporarily. TIP: Saving files to your desktop is not recommended, but I do this every day - temporarily. I'll tell you why. For instance, I may have saved an email document that I need to read, or an image file I'll use once. I put them on my desktop temporarily and then delete them at the end of the day. I do that for visibility. If I had saved these one-time-use files to a folder, they would probably live there forever! So if your desktop is cluttered for one reason or another and you need to? ? Give a live presentation and don't want attendees to see the icons on your desktop... ? Or share something in an online (Zoom) meeting and want to obscure personal items on your screen... ? Or maybe you're making a screencast video (and your desktop is involved) and you need it to be clean... ...then can hide all the icons on your screen - temporarily (including files, programs or short-cuts) quickly. [clean desktop] Here's how! ? With your mouse on your desktop, right-click and choose View, then Show Desktop Items (to un-check it). ? To show the icons again, repeat by right-clicking, choose View and again, Show Desktop Items. View of clean desktop! [clean desktop] [https://files.constantcontact.com/ee1208b4001/41d9a61c-7e5a-4de3-b0a4-4021dd05cea3.png] Communications: Talking Switch out the "but..." How many times in a conversation (or in writing) do you start a response with "But..." Listen to yourself for a day and observe your writing ... yes, even your email. How many times do you start a sentence or a phrase with the word "But"? When you do that, you immediately communicate disagreement ... even negativity, disrespect, and non-receptivity. Picture this: Someone shares an idea with you. You answer with a comment that starts out with "But..." Yup, even if you're essentially agreeing with the idea, people tend to interject a new idea with the word "But." A simple fix: Use the word "And..." instead. That's a continuation word, not a "your idea isn't good enough, listen to mine" statement by starting with "but..." Example: Team member: "We could hold our annual picnic at the State Park this year." You (trying to be supportive): "But we'd have to get a permit or pay an entrance fee." TIP: Be on the lookout for your "buts," convert them to "and" or "so." [https://files.constantcontact.com/ee1208b4001/da1c6ee9-ba35-4af5-9c80-8e1b5781189e.png] Leadership What do you see in this illustration? I used to speak to organizations on their full retreat days ... when all staff attended. On the screen behind me would be the illustration below. My friend Alex Tiani drew it as an interpretation of a point I wanted to make. (I'll tell you in a minute what that is.) It was fine to show the picture and explain the concept. But after a while, I got smarter and changed it up. I would put up the image ... and ask what it communicated to them. [No vision] Here's what I meant it to convey... Without a vision, everyone is pulling in different directions, so the goal can not be achieved. I'm sure you can see that, right? Is there another interpretation you could make of this visual? Put it in the comments, please. [http://files.constantcontact.com/ee1208b4001/b13a7a6a-7445-4d8e-b741-4b475385ef5b.png] [Ask a question] Copyright 1996-2020 Shared Results International.

We also offered a new solidarity ticket which will cover the ticket price for someone else, and we were blown away by your generosity! We still have some of these registration-waived tickets available : if you or someone you know would like to attend but would be better served reserving your dollars for elsewhere, please apply for one of these tickets today.

REGISTRATION *Open Student Work with a Safety Net: Student Knowledge Production and Student Rights in Open Environments* Working in open environments enables faculty and librarians to support students as knowledge producers and surface their diverse, often under-represented voices. Assignments created using open pedagogy can broaden the audience and impact of student work. But how do students feel about working openly? How can faculty and librarians support and advocate for students in open environments? This panel will share faculty, student, and librarian experiences with creating and supporting open student work. This includes the creation of a Statement on Student Rights in open environments, which centers student agency and encourages informed participation in open contexts. *Outcomes: * - Attendees will recognize how open pedagogy can further develop student agency and an understanding of themselves as participants in knowledge creation. - Attendees will evaluate opportunities and challenges that arise from open assignments and syllabi, including those related to privacy and intellectual property. - Attendees will reflect on their own institutional contexts in order to identify opportunities for deeper engagement with open pedagogy and advocating for student rights. Registration is open to any library staff-person, but we are limited to 100 attendees in the session, so register soon! REGISTER We also plan to record the webinar and make it available on our YouTube channel . If you register, we will email you a link to the recording after the session.

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are stressful or traumatic events that happen in childhood. The CDC Division of Violence Prevention, in partnership with Kaiser Permanente, conducted a landmark study from 1995-1997 with more than 17,000 participants known as the ACE Study. What we know from the ACE Study and subsequent research is that children who face traumas such as abuse, neglect or witnessing domestic violence are much more likely to develop social, emotional and behavioral challenges. Research also demonstrates that traumas often follow children well into their adult lives. Adults who have experienced childhood trauma are more likely to develop difficulties with substance abuse, mental health, divorce, holding down a job, parenting, domestic violence and incarceration. Childhood trauma survivors also develop serious health issues such as heart disease, chronic lung diseases, diabetes, obesity and cancer. The Understanding ACEs webinar gives an overview of what ACEs are, the landmark study that found the long-term effects of ACEs, and how to recognize and combat the long-term effects of ACEs. More information at https://sdcpcm.com/program/aces/ Presenter Cheyenne Chontos is a 2018 graduate of Augustana University with a B.A. in elementary education and a current MLS student at Emporia State University SLIM. In May 2019, Cheyenne received her certification as an Enough Abuse presenter, and in October 2019 she received her certification as an ACEs and Resiliency presenter. Through both programs, Cheyenne has taught more than 250 teachers, healthcare professionals, and community members across South Dakota on how to recognize, respond to, and prevent childhood maltreatment and adverse experiences.

Myth Busters has done some interesting episodes on the spread of germs. The sneeze in particular. I have a nice pair of safety shield glasses to go over my glasses. The way they close up makes my glasses get less steamed up from my mask. Please stay safe and stay healthy.

Derek K Chu, Elie A Akl, Stephanie Duda, et al. The Lancet, Volume 395, Issue 10242, 2020, Pages 1973-1987, June 27 2020. Published: June 01, 2020 DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(20)31142-9 . (http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0140673620311429) Abstract: Summary Background Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes COVID-19 and is spread person-to-person through close contact. We aimed to investigate the effects of physical distance, face masks, and eye protection on virus transmission in health-care and non-health-care (eg, community) settings. Methods We did a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the optimum distance for avoiding person-to-person virus transmission and to assess the use of face masks and eye protection to prevent transmission of viruses. We obtained data for SARS-CoV-2 and the betacoronaviruses that cause severe acute respiratory syndrome, and Middle East respiratory syndrome from 21 standard WHO-specific and COVID-19-specific sources. We searched these data sources from database inception to May 3, 2020, with no restriction by language, for comparative studies and for contextual factors of acceptability, feasibility, resource use, and equity. We screened records, extracted data, and assessed risk of bias in duplicate. We did frequentist and Bayesian meta-analyses and random-effects meta-regressions. We rated the certainty of evidence according to Cochrane methods and the GRADE approach. This study is registered with PROSPERO, CRD42020177047. Findings Our search identified 172 observational studies across 16 countries and six continents, with no randomised controlled trials and 44 relevant comparative studies in health-care and non-health-care settings (n=25?697 patients). Transmission of viruses was lower with physical distancing of 1 m or more, compared with a distance of less than 1 m (n=10?736, pooled adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0?18, 95% CI 0?09 to 0?38; risk difference [RD] ?10?2%, 95% CI ?11?5 to ?7?5; moderate certainty); protection was increased as distance was lengthened (change in relative risk [RR] 2?02 per m; pinteraction=0?041; moderate certainty). Face mask use could result in a large reduction in risk of infection (n=2647; aOR 0?15, 95% CI 0?07 to 0?34, RD ?14?3%, ?15?9 to ?10?7; low certainty), with stronger associations with N95 or similar respirators compared with disposable surgical masks or similar (eg, reusable 12?16-layer cotton masks; pinteraction=0?090; posterior probability >95%, low certainty). Eye protection also was associated with less infection (n=3713; aOR 0?22, 95% CI 0?12 to 0?39, RD ?10?6%, 95% CI ?12?5 to ?7?7; low certainty). Unadjusted studies and subgroup and sensitivity analyses showed similar findings. Interpretation The findings of this systematic review and meta-analysis support physical distancing of 1 m or more and provide quantitative estimates for models and contact tracing to inform policy. Optimum use of face masks, respirators, and eye protection in public and health-care settings should be informed by these findings and contextual factors. Robust randomised trials are needed to better inform the evidence for these interventions, but this systematic appraisal of currently best available evidence might inform interim guidance.

The studies were conducted by applying the virulent SARS-CoV-2 virus on five materials held at standard room temperature (68?F to 75?F) and relative humidity conditions (30 to 50 percent). The materials in Test 3 included the following items: Item Material type Use Talking book, USB cassette* Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), specific blend Cartridges are used in talking book readers available through the National Library Services for the Blind and Disabled DVD** Polycarbonate Digital data storage (also includes CDs). Note: A polypropylene DVD case was tested in Test 1; Storage bag (flexible plastic)** Low-density polyethylene (LDPE), recycling #4 Storage, library and museum kits, gift shop packaging Storage container (rigid plastic)** High-density polyethylene (HDPE), recycling #2 Transporting and storage of items Plexiglass*** Acrylic Display cases, partitions Results show that after five days of quarantine in an unstacked configuration, the SARS-CoV-2 virus was not detected on the storage bag (flexible plastic) or the DVD. The storage container (rigid plastic), plexiglass, and the USB cassette all showed detectable virus at five days. Day five was the final timepoint tested. Compared to the results of Test 1 and 2, this data suggests that a slightly longer quarantine time for these types of plastic-based materials may be required to render SARS-CoV-2 undetectable through natural attenuation alone. Alternatively, based on the materials' nonporous nature, suitable liquid disinfection methods may promote a more rapid decontamination than the quarantine method.* *The CDC and EPA provide general cleaning and disinfecting guidance.

Message-ID: Just a reminder that ACRL-Oregon is hosting a free webinar this coming Thursday: *Open student work with a safety net: student knowledge production and student rights in open environments*. Registration is open to any library staff-person, but we are limited to 100 attendees in the session, so register soon! We also plan to record the webinar and make it available on our YouTube channel . If you register, we will email you a link to the recording after the session. REGISTRATION ----- ACRL-Oregon offers free webinars on topics relevant to academic library staff. Our upcoming webinar is *Open student work with a safety net: student knowledge production and student rights in open environments*, presented by Alyssa Berger, Danielle Rowland, Denise Hattwig, Laura Dimmit Smyth, and Penelope Wood from the University of Washington Bothell/Cascadia College Campus Library on *Thursday, August 20th at 11AM PST*. *Open Student Work with a Safety Net: Student Knowledge Production and Student Rights in Open Environments* Working in open environments enables faculty and librarians to support students as knowledge producers and surface their diverse, often under-represented voices. Assignments created using open pedagogy can broaden the audience and impact of student work. But how do students feel about working openly? How can faculty and librarians support and advocate for students in open environments? This panel will share faculty, student, and librarian experiences with creating and supporting open student work. This includes the creation of a Statement on Student Rights in open environments, which centers student agency and encourages informed participation in open contexts. *Outcomes: * - Attendees will recognize how open pedagogy can further develop student agency and an understanding of themselves as participants in knowledge creation. - Attendees will evaluate opportunities and challenges that arise from open assignments and syllabi, including those related to privacy and intellectual property. - Attendees will reflect on their own institutional contexts in order to identify opportunities for deeper engagement with open pedagogy and advocating for student rights.

We know that when diverse leadership does not exist, women are 20% less likely than straight men to win endorsement for their ideas; LGBTQ people are 21% less likely; and people of color are most affected at 24%. The world of libraries is largely lacking diversity, which is why these statistics matter. Those who are part of marginalized groups should be heard, seen, and treated equitably. Your organization is likely missing out on amazing ideas, solutions, relationships, and opportunities to do the right thing ethically by supporting ALL staff fully. The challenge? Many from diverse backgrounds are often overlooked and unheard. In this 3-week online course learners will: * Discover how bias starts during the hiring process and throughout the professional journey at an organization and how to combat this issue. * Become a safe ally for those of marginalized groups. * Create checks and balances so that diverse coworkers know that their insights are heard. * Build processes and initiatives around fighting bias in their workplace. Course Description: Through a series of three scheduled live online meetings, supplementary materials and practical assignments, participants will learn the tools needed to truly listen to coworkers of marginalized populations with empathy, build trust, create improved morale, and better support the in the communities they serve. Online Meetings * Meeting One - Hire Without Bias: September 9 @11am Pacific * Meeting Two - Forming Allies in The Workplace: September 16 @11am Pacific * Meeting Three - Inclusivity in Action: September 23 @11am Pacific Note: Please make every effort to ensure that you are able to attend these two meetings before enrolling in the course. If this is not possible, archived recordings will be made available. Instructor: Kim Crowder Fee: $175.

Stream Your Zoom Meeting (or Webinar) to YouTube 2. COMMUNICATING ... Adding white space in your writing 3. LEADERSHIP ... Do you have a unifying vision? [Stream Zoom to YouTube] Photo by Brian Erickson on Unsplash Brought To You By State Library of Oregon [State of Oregon] Visit Tech-Talk.com Database Username: ORLIBTECH Password: ORLIBTECH Questions about Tech-Talk? darci.hanning at state.or.us WEB TOOL - Stream Your Zoom Meeting (or Webinar) to YouTube Advanced [Streaming] We recently had a request from a reader (a librarian in East Greenbush Community Library, NY) for an article about streaming a Zoom meeting live to YouTube. They wanted to do this with their Board Meetings so that more people could attend it virtually. First of all, let's look at what "streaming from Zoom to YouTube" is. When you have one or more individuals who want to present content to a group of attendees you set up a collaborative, online meeting in a tool like Zoom. If you want a whole lot more people to participate, to see the session, then streaming that meeting into social media makes it possible for people to "attend" on their own time. This gives your audience choices: 1) Attend through the Zoom link, real-time. In other words, join the meeting as you normally would. 2) Watch the session on YouTube later because it is recording instantly and pushing it out to the social media tool, in this case YouTube. 3) Join the meeting in session a little late so that once you're there in YouTube you have the choice of starting at the beginning and see what you've missed, or scooting the playback up to the point of real-time. This has lots of possibilities, right? What about a meeting for parents of school kids, a young adults book club or a public library discussion for patrons? These could potentially have a lot of people interested in them. So while the audience would be invited to join the Zoom call (meeting or webinar), not everyone's schedule can accommodate the selected meeting time. Still others may want to join, but will have to be a little late. They'd like to be able to see what they missed. If you want lots of people to get the information ... by either attending real-time or viewing the session later ... choosing to stream from Zoom to YouTube is a handy technique. Cool, huh? Technologically speaking, there is typically about a 20-second delay between the Zoom call and the live stream video. NOTE: Although Zoom lets you live stream to YouTube or Facebook, we're going to focus this article on YouTube. Why? First, our reader specifically asked for "streaming through Zoom to YouTube". Secondly, and we think this is why the library selected YouTube instead of Facebook, is that it is easier for a broad audience to use! This is because a person doesn't have to have an account to view a YouTube video or live stream. The don't have to be friends with anyone to get to a YouTube video. So it makes viewing less complicated. And yes, you can live stream from other collaboration meeting tools that Google and Microsoft offer, but that's another day, another time. If you want something specific, just ask. Use the Ask A Question button in Tech-Talk (on the Search page). A Few Considerations... ? When you are viewing via YouTube live stream, you can't interact with the Zoom presenter using the Zoom comments or questions feature. However, you can add comments to the YouTube chat. So if you are the presenter pushing your Zoom call out via YouTube, you may want to have an assistant to monitor YouTube comments so that you can address them in the call. ? If a participant joins the YouTube Zoom live stream after the call has already started, there is an option to rewind to the beginning of the presentation, pause it, or fast-forward to be live. ? Your YouTube Zoom live stream can be archived to your account for people to watch later ? even though it was a "live" event. So if you are planning a Zoom meeting or webinar and want to reach a broader audience, think about streaming it to YouTube. IMPORTANT: You need to enable settings in BOTH Zoom and YouTube to be able to live stream. In the full article you can read here we'll walk through: ? How to activate live streaming in your YouTube account ? Prerequisites for Zoom Meetings and Webinars ? Enabling streaming for Zoom MEETINGS at the Account, Team and User levels ?

The more you do that, the higher the understanding! Not only does the absence of text bring attention to the content that you do have, it also makes reading your selection easier and faster. When busy people pick up your text they tend to scan first. If they can get more of what you are trying to convey with a quick sweep, everyone wins. White space does this for you! Look for opportunities to create one-sentence paragraphs! On top of the functionality, this technique gives your information a sense of elegance and sophistication. [https://files.constantcontact.com/ee1208b4001/da1c6ee9-ba35-4af5-9c80-8e1b5781189e.png] Leadership Do you have a unifying vision? When was the last time you talked about the vision of your organization or team? Maybe you brought it up in an annual retreat or saw it on your website. When I say vision, I mean something that describes what you ultimately want to achieve. It's how you want to be known by others. It gets you excited. As a curious consultant, I have often asked anyone I happened onto in life, What?s the vision of your organization? I would hear things like? ? Shoes. [from a retail shop person] ? $2M profit in 4Q. [a corporate executive] ? I have it, it?s filed in my office. [a senior manager] ? A vision? [every type of worker] This concept (a vision) is a powerful strategic tool for any organization, yet it is so seldomly used effectively. There was a time when defining your mission and vision was the global trend. Hours and days were spent laboring over the exact terminology so that every aspect of what was to be, was captured. People were confused about the difference between mission and vision (their definitions sounded a lot alike). It seemed like an exercise in futility. You put it on a piece of paper and forgot it. Consequently the whole process has been given less prominence, set aside or just minimized. More importantly, in many circles, it is often not deemed important that a vision be known, understood and embraced by the workforce. I would argue differently. Not having a vision (knowing ultimately what you want to achieve; how you want to be known by others), is like wandering around in the desert at night without a guiding star. So when employees don't know the vision or don't get uplifted by it, this aspiration becomes burdened in such a way that it can't be fully realized. Does your organization have a vision? Does it excite you, motivate you? Comment here. [More on visions to come.] [http://files.constantcontact.com/ee1208b4001/b13a7a6a-7445-4d8e-b741-4b475385ef5b.png] [Ask a question] Copyright 1996-2020 Shared Results International. Published weekly.

If you are interested and haven't yet registered, there is still availability for this free webinar: Understanding ACES: Adverse Childhood Experiences Thursday, Aug. 27 12 p.m. Pacific Registration required: https://emporiastate.zoom.us/j/98869715840 NOTE: SLIM webinars usually do not require registration, but by the policy of the ACEs organization we cannot record this session. Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are stressful or traumatic events that happen in childhood. The CDC Division of Violence Prevention, in partnership with Kaiser Permanente, conducted a landmark study from 1995-1997 with more than 17,000 participants known as the ACE Study. What we know from the ACE Study and subsequent research is that children who face traumas such as abuse, neglect or witnessing domestic violence are much more likely to develop social, emotional and behavioral challenges. Research also demonstrates that traumas often follow children well into their adult lives. Adults who have experienced childhood trauma are more likely to develop difficulties with substance abuse, mental health, divorce, holding down a job, parenting, domestic violence and incarceration. Childhood trauma survivors also develop serious health issues such as heart disease, chronic lung diseases, diabetes, obesity and cancer. The Understanding ACEs webinar gives an overview of what ACEs are, the landmark study that found the long-term effects of ACEs, and how to recognize and combat the long-term effects of ACEs. More information at https://sdcpcm.com/program/aces/ Presenter Cheyenne Chontos is a 2018 graduate of Augustana University with a B.A. in elementary education and a current MLS student at Emporia State University SLIM. In May 2019, Cheyenne received her certification as an Enough Abuse presenter, and in October 2019 she received her certification as an ACEs and Resiliency presenter. Through both programs, Cheyenne has taught more than 250 teachers, healthcare professionals, and community members across South Dakota on how to recognize, respond to, and prevent childhood maltreatment and adverse experiences.

[Libraries Transform] [Census read-along with Auli'i Cravalho from Disney's Moana , August 27 at 11 am CT on Facebook, #CountOnLibraries] With the U.S. Census Bureau ending counting efforts on September 30, a month sooner than previously announced, it?s more important than ever to get the word out that there is still time to complete the questionnaire. This is an especially urgent message for historically undercounted groups, including young children, people of color, indigenous people, urban and rural low-income households that have been under-represented at disproportionately high rates in past Census counts. To help with those efforts, the American Library Association has partnered with actress Auli?i Cravalho, star of the animated Disney film Moana, for a special storytime to remind families of the importance of completing the 2020 Census. Cravalho will read from "WE COUNT! A Census Counting Book for Kids, (and the Grownups That Love Them)," an interactive counting book with illustrations of diverse American families by artists representing their own cultural heritage. Please join us to read-along with Auli?i on Thursday, August 27 at 11:00 a.m. CT on the American Library Association Facebook page and get the word out to your community. After the premiere, the video will be available for download. The book, available in 15 languages, along with posters, activity pages stickers and guides are also available on the ALA website. While supplies last, libraries can receive a free box of 50 "WE COUNT!? books in English or Spanish and either 500 English WE COUNT! Activity Placemats or 100 Spanish WE COUNT! Activity Placemats with no shipping or handling fee. Use coupon code WECOUNTALA.

Mobile phones are quite smart, but there doesn't seem to be a direct "print" button when it comes to printing them, right. So how do you print a text conversation that you want to save? This question was submitted to Central NY Library Resources Council (CLRC) by one of their members and then forwarded to us. We thought you'd like to see this information as well, so we put it in a Tech-Talk article. First, there are many reasons that you would want to print out text conversations from your phone. Some people delete all messages on a regular basis, but there are circumstances where you would want to keep a hard copy. You may want... ? Paper archives of important conversations. ? A printed list to view all the info more easily. ? Proof of something for a dispute, insurance claim, or legal matter. ? A copy of a supportive message from a colleague or a loved one. Let's look at three different ways to print out text messages from either an iPhone or an Android device. 1. Print Text Messages via Screenshots The most obvious way to print a text message is to take a screenshot of it. This works if you want to capture not only the message, but have a clear record of the time and dates. However, the downfall of this method is that it can be cumbersome if the message is longer than what you can capture in one screen. Then you have to take multiple screenshots. Screenshot from an iPhone Depending on your iPhone model, to take a screenshot: ? iPhone model with Face ID: Press the Side button and the Volume up button at the same time and then quickly release both buttons. ? iPhone model with Touch ID: Press the Side button and the Home button (at the bottom) at the same time. Quickly release both buttons. ? iPhone model with Touch ID and top button: Press the Top button and the Home button (at the bottom) at the same time and then quickly release both buttons. [save to photos] For any of the versions, go to the Photos app on your iPhone to find your screenshot(s). Select the images and tap the Share button at the bottom left and chose to: 1. Send it to a printer. 2. Open your email app and email it to yourself. 3. Save it in a platform like Dropbox. Then you can access the image to print from another device. Screenshot from an Android NOTE: Steps may vary depending on your device. ? It does depend on what device you have, but most likely to take a screenshot, press the Volume down button and Power button, then quickly release. ? If you need to print out more than what's shown on the screen, scroll down to take another screen capture. ? Depending on your device, you may have a Share button right after taking the capture. If there is no immediate Share option, you can view your screenshot saved to your Photo gallery. ? From either location, tap the Share button and chose to send to a printer, open your email app, or save in a platform like Dropbox, Google Drive, or other cloud service and access them from a computer to print. [https://files.constantcontact.com/ee1208b4001/930873e1-934f-4b33-b4f7-5b41f0f9ea2f.png] 2. Print Text Messages via Email (or the Notes App) In this option, you can copy and paste a message into another app on your phone and then print it. The downside is that this method only captures the text of the message. The date and time information is not included. For example, I received a set of instructions via text message that kept me scrolling and scrolling trying to read it -- and then apply the steps in a different app on my phone. So I wanted to print it out. This method works well because you can copy and paste a message into an email (or Notes app) to print... because the date and time info is not needed. See how below. From an iPhone: NOTE: Steps may vary depending on your version. To print ONE message (not the whole conversation): ? Open the message and tap inside one of the message bubbles and hold until more options are displayed. ? Select the Copy option to copy the contents of the text to the clipboard. OPTION 1 - If you CAN'T print from your iPhone to a local printer: Open your email app on your device and start a new email. Tap in the message body. Select the Paste button when it appears to add your copied text message. Send the message to a device where you can print it. [paste in a text message] OPTION 2 - If you CAN print from your iPhone: Open your Notes app and start a new Note. Tap in the message body. Select the Paste button when it appears to add the copied text message. Tap the Share button at the top and choose a Print option (as in the image below). [print from notes app] [select more than one message] To print multiple (or all) messages in the conversation: ? Open the text message and tap inside one of the text bubbles in the conversation. ? Instead of selecting Copy, click the More option. [select multiple messages] ? This will return you to the text conversation where you can click the check mark to the left of each text bubble for the messages you want copied. ? Click the Share icon in the lower left of the screen and all that you have copied will populate in a new text message. ? Now you can copy that into an email or your Notes app to print (as outlined above in Options 1 & 2). For an Android Device NOTE: Steps may vary depending on your device. [https://files.constantcontact.com/ee1208b4001/20d177e1-f22e-4732-8e34-e24f84cfb658.png] ? Open the message and tap and hold on the text you want to copy. ? Tap Copy Text in the menu that appears (on some devices you will need to and drag the highlight handles to capture all the text you want to include). ? Open your email app on your device and start a new email. ? Tap and hold in the space where you'd like to paste the text. Tap Paste in the menu that appears. You can alternatively choose to Paste as plain text. ? Send the message to a device where you can open and print it. ? Or, on some devices you may have a Notes app. Paste the copied text into this app and choose to Print. 3. Use a Third-Party App Whenever possible, we try to give you solutions that don't involve additional software. However, if text message screenshots or the copy and paste options outlined above don't get the job done, there are free (and paid) 3rd party apps that provide this service. One tool, from iMobie.com is called AnyTrans. It offers support for both iOS and Android devices -- and has a free level. With this app you can: ? Back up or print messages as well as attachments (and print them) ? Export photos and videos ? Transfer music ? Transfer WhatsApp chats ?

You can review it here for important details in the technique. The method we shared revolves around one very effective way to handle or avoid conflict by being firm, but kind ... yet not deviating from the basic message. So here's what happened after that! I shared this technique with my spouse as he was having difficulty with some of his team members not wanting to wear a mask inside the workplace. Not only is this company policy for that organization, but it was state-mandated as well. I'm sure you've experienced some of this rebellion in your own library, school or institution, right? Here's how my honey applied The Meat Story at work. Seeing a team member on the floor not wearing a mask, he as the supervisor, approached the worker and asked him to put his mask on. Team Member: "I don't want to. It's hot and uncomfortable." Supervisor: "You need to wear a mask in the building. It is company policy." Team Member: "But they say masks aren't effective so I shouldn't have to wear one." Supervisor: "Please put your mask on. It is company policy." Team Member: "It's my right not to have to wear a mask." Supervisor: "In this building you need to wear a mask. It is company policy." The result... the team member backed down and put on his mask. The supervisor could have spent time debating each of the team member's objections, but that was not the point. You can see that stating the problem, followed by saying what you want ? and not resorting to arguing or delving into all the ?whys and wherefores? ? can result in a positive resolution. So you can see, this technique works in many situations. Give it a try! Meat Story article: review it here for important details in the technique.

How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action, a best selling book by Simon Sinek. (At this point he is talking about Continental Airlines and the well-known struggle they had to stay alive as a company.) [The bold and color are my edits ... to bring to your attention.] "Some would argue that the reason Continental's culture was so poisonous was that the company was struggling. They would tell you that it's hard for executives to focus on anything other than survival when a company is facing hard times. 'Once we get profitable again," the logic went, "then we'll take a look at everything else.' And without a doubt, throughout the 1980's and early 1990's Continental struggled. The company filed for Chapter 11 protection twice in eight years ... and managed to go through ten CEOs in a decade. In 1994, the year Bethune took over as the newest CEO, the company had lost $600 million and ranked last in every measurable performance category." All too often the people are considered and accommodated last. "When everything is OK, then we'll look at employee satisfaction." Really? The author goes on to talk about how Bethune turned the company around ... in one year ... from massive losses to a profit of $250 million. And he did it, by valuing the opposite from the previous struggling executives. He took care of people first! In my opinion, you can't fix financials in a vacuum. The people ... employees, volunteers, contractors ... are the force of work. Without them no progress can occur. So where do you start when you need change -- when you need to buckle up and chart a new course? With the people ... their ideas, their stamina, their insight. When you do that, the leaders gain trust. And with trust comes a wealth of resources that can bring about remarkable progress. How do you feel about this?

It's so hard to measure the true impact of our programming when it's online, but at this point we're feeling the need to identify some numbers we can consistently gather to establish some baselines and expectations. It seems like we might be doing this virtual thing for a while.... Some of our programming is live, then archived. And we put some in different places (YouTube and FaceBook mostly). We can get numbers about "estimated reach," "engagement," etc., but we're not sure what those tell us about how we're doing at reaching people. We're curious how other libraries are tracking statistics for virtual programming. If you're doing this, or thinking of doing it, I'd love to hear about your approach. Are there certain stats you track? Do you look at numbers over time for archived events? That sort of thing....If we get responses I will compile and share with the list.

The ACRL-Oregon Award for Excellence is given to recognize a project that demonstrates excellence in the field by significantly improving Oregon academic libraries or librarianship. The Award for Excellence Committee uses a rubric to judge the projects, and both winning projects received exactly the same excellent score. We are thrilled to recognize two projects that represent efforts to center BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) history in our region and the needs of BIPOC workers in our profession: The *Writing (Pacific Northwest) African American History into Wikipedia* team recognized an information gap within Wikipedia related to African American history, especially for the Pacific Northwest. Librarians at Oregon State University organized Wikipedia Editathons to make this history more visible. As a result, they have not only increased access to information about Pacific Northwest African American history, but they have also trained new editors who can continue this work. They have held two Editathons and have had participation from students enrolled in OSU courses as well as community members. Overall the Editathons demonstrate a commitment to social justice by addressing Wikipedia?s well-documented racial bias and offer a valuable model for librarians and archivists to enact change. OSU Librarian Laurie Bridges led this effort along with a team that included OSU librarians Diana Park and Tiah Edmunson-Morton. This project was also written about in an OLA Quarterly article as part of the Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion issue in Fall 2019. The OLA *Equity, Diversity, Inclusion/Anti-Racism Task Force *was charged by the Oregon Library Association Board in Fall 2019 with developing an EDI plan for the organization. The Task Force, which focused on anti-racism as its primary focus, presented its recommendations in Spring 2020 which were adopted by the OLA Board and have influenced the planning of the Oregon Association of School Librarians as well as the ACRL-Oregon. According to Task Force Co-Chair, Marci Ramiro-Jenkins of the McMinnville Public Library, ?this project will help with the implementation of anti-racist best practices, will promote education and guidance for librarians and library staff in regards to EDI and anti-racism best practices, will advocate for support for librarians of color when it comes to emotional labor, microaggression and racial battle fatigue, and will improve the retention of library staff and patrons from underrepresented groups.? Ramiro-Jenkins shares this award with co-Chair Mart?n Blasco of Washington County Cooperative Library Services, Meredith Farkas of Portland Community College Library (who serves on the award committee and recused herself from the voting), Ayn Frazee of Portland Public Schools, Danielle Jones of Multnomah County Library, Lisa Taylor of Happy Valley Library, and Alisa Williams of Multnomah County Library. Both project leads will receive a plaque commemorating the award and will be recognized at the OLA Annual Conference?s awards ceremony.

We acknowledge that our group has a long way to go, but our leadership is committed to making anti-racist work a priority in our organization. In Solidarity, Candise Branum ACRL-Oregon President (2019-2020) -- The Oregon Chapter of the Association of College and Research Libraries / Academic Division of the Oregon Library Association (ACRL-OR) stands in solidarity with the Black Caucus of the American Library Association (BCALA) and REFORMA Oregon in condemning the systematic social injustices and violence endured by Black people and all people of color. We support the principles of the Black Lives Matter movement and pledge our support to library workers and the communities we serve by advocating for the eradication of racial injustice and White supremacy in our profession. We recognize the pervasive role of both implicit and explicit racism in denying equal rights and equitable access, and commit to working towards becoming an anti-racist chapter that confronts, deconstructs, and dismantles the systems, policies, and procedures that reify racism and anti-blackness. In order to effect change within our organization, the ACRL-OR Board commits to: - Exploring ways to support academic library staff in Oregon in doing anti-racist work, including providing professional development and staff training opportunities that counteract anti-blackness, racism, and White supremacy in librarianship; - Assessing our internal processes and procedures and implementing systems that operationalize racial equity; - Deconstructing the Whiteness of our professional organization by actively recruiting BIPOC library staff for leadership positions, and by working towards identifying and dismantling the barriers that prevent BIPOC library staff from engaging in organizational leadership; - Ensuring that an ACRL-OR Board member is represented on (and ACRL-OR is accountable to) the OLA?s Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) Taskforce. We recommend that academic library staff commit to: - Engaging in an equity audit of current policies, processes, and procedures that have been built upon and support a legacy of White supremacy, and then work to rectify or dismantle these policies and procedures; - Advocating for anti-racist actions within our institutions; - Ensuring that patrons from historically marginalized groups feel welcomed and included in the spaces we manage (both in our libraries and our classrooms); - Providing public programming and displays that further anti-racist causes; - Pursuing professional development and staff training opportunities that counteract racism; - Making resource purchasing decisions using an equity lens; - Incorporating inclusive design and anti-racist pedagogical principles in teaching. -- ACRL-Oregon Board *Candise Branum* Director of Library Services Oregon College of Oriental Medicine (OCOM) 503-253-3443 x134 <(503)%20253-3443> | 75 NW Couch Street, Portland, OR 97209 | library.ocom.edu *Pronouns: She, her, hers**Want to donate?

I would also love to hear from libraries about what you're tracking, what platforms you are using, and what stats are meaningful to you locally. We are all obviously in a weird moment in time right now, but as Steven points out it's looking like virtual programming is likely here to stay. At the risk of hijacking Steven's thread, I just wanted to mention that we will be adding a number of new questions next year to the 2021 Oregon Public Library Statistical Report to help facilitate better reporting on (and data about) virtual programs statewide, and some of these new measures will eventually be reflected in the IMLS' national Public Libraries Survey data we contribute to each year. These changes will attempt to track virtual program efforts during this current fiscal year (July 1, 2020 - June 30, 2021), so please consider tracking these efforts now if you aren't already. The good news is that most social media platforms should allow you to pull stats for any given time frame down the road. For those currently helping report on programming stats at your library for the 2020 Oregon Public Library Statistical Report, I'll share again some basic guidance regarding what to include in the Statistical Report's general programing questions: * If your library has offered synchronous/live, programs, please include those in the appropriate program categories in Questions 7.03 - 7.10. Please do not include stats for pre-recorded/asynchronous programs. I realize this is not capturing the full COVID-era picture of library programming, but this reflects the national consensus for public library stats this year. Obviously, there is a lot of squishiness (yes, that's a technical term) with social media platform stats, and what we will ultimately ask your libraries to report at the state (and national) level might not totally align with what your library and community finds valuable depending on each platform - and that is totally OKAY! But as Steven has already called for, there is benefit to having these discussions to share what folks are currently finding useful. As a means of offering some basic help getting started with tracking virtual programming statistics at your library, I've recently posted a copy of some very good guidelines, created by my colleague Yana Demireva at the Maryland State Library, to our Public Library Stats LibGuide (here under Question 7.10). Just please note that we are excluding stats on pre-recorded/asynchronous programs from the 2020 Statistical Report. Happy Friday, and please stay safe and sane!

From: Libs-Or [mailto:libs-or-bounces at omls.oregon.gov] On Behalf Of Engelfried, Steven Sent: Wednesday, August 26, 2020 11:39 AM To: libs-or at omls.oregon.gov Subject: [Libs-Or] Tracking Statistics for Virtual Programs To Kids-Lib & Libs-Or (apologies for cross-posting): We're looking for a way to track statistics for the virtual programming we're now doing. It's so hard to measure the true impact of our programming when it's online, but at this point we're feeling the need to identify some numbers we can consistently gather to establish some baselines and expectations. It seems like we might be doing this virtual thing for a while.... Some of our programming is live, then archived. And we put some in different places (YouTube and FaceBook mostly). We can get numbers about "estimated reach," "engagement," etc., but we're not sure what those tell us about how we're doing at reaching people. We're curious how other libraries are tracking statistics for virtual programming. If you're doing this, or thinking of doing it, I'd love to hear about your approach. Are there certain stats you track? Do you look at numbers over time for archived events? That sort of thing....If we get responses I will compile and share with the list.

REGISTRATION ----- ACRL-Oregon offers free webinars on topics relevant to academic library staff. Our upcoming webinar is *Speaking of Quality: A Librarian and Instructor Compare Their Assessment of Students' Sources*, presented by Elizabeth (Beth) Pickard, Science & Social Sciences Librarian at Portland State University on *Thursday, September 10th at 10AM PST*. *Speaking of Quality: A Librarian and Instructor Compare Their Assessment of Students' Sources* Do librarians and instructors guide students to the same kinds of sources for their course assignments? The assumed answer might be "yes," but a recent case study showed there is more to it. This presentation will discuss an ethnographic study that explored and compared how a librarian and an instructor went about evaluating the quality of bibliographies students produced for the instructor?s class. The study attempted to unearth nuances in the respective practical approaches librarian and instructor took to assess a source?s quality as well as differences in what librarian and instructor might mean by ?quality.? Findings included differences in the ways librarian and instructor applied indicators of quality in terms of frequency and weight. Findings also included that librarian and instructor looked to different aspects of citations to demonstrate common values, such as thoroughness. Additional findings included differences in librarian and instructor?s working definitions of ?academic? and in their approaches to consulting the citation versus the full text of a cited source. The aim of the study was to make such implicit practices and expectations around ?quality? explicit in order to better align librarians' and instructors' daily practice and in order to make such expectations more transparent to students.

Highlighted webinar for September: Strengthen Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Practice Through Self-Paced Learnings (September 15, 12:00p PT). While classroom training has an important place in library staff education, learning is extended and reinforced when staff have the opportunity to work through difficult topics outside of the classroom. In order to support staff learning about issues of equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI), Multnomah County Library has developed a ?Racially Just? toolkit, containing activities staff can use to learn and practice on their own, with colleagues, or in their staff groups. The toolkit workbooks include information and activities related to bias, microaggressions, allyship and cross-cultural communication, as well as a workbook focused on learning about Native American and Alaska Native people and communities. Learn how Multnomah Library developed the workbooks and what indicators signaled that their organization was ready to support staff with self-paced learning about EDI.
