You have 2 choices! ? Make a donation to Talking Book and Braille Services in Jim's honor ? Post a comment on Jim's blog - Virtual Retirement Party __________________________________________ ...here is the information we sent you Nov. 4th: For the past 20 years, Jim Scheppke has persistently applied his skills and expertise to improve library services in Oregon as State Librarian. Earlier this year Jim announced his plans to retire from public service at the end of 2011. This created a new challenge - how to honor Jim for the incredible service he has provided to Oregonians? Jim didn't want a traditional retirement party. "Too many greenhouse gas emissions, not to mention unwanted calories," he said. So instead we are having a Virtual Retirement Party - carbon neutral and heart healthy! To celebrate, Jim wants all his colleagues and associates to post a good wish, photo or a memory to his blog. You can even ask Jim a question. Jim will reply to every post! http://jimscheppkeretires.blogspot.com On his blog page you will find a slideshow of his years at the State Library, his farewell speech to OLA, career highlights, and more. In lieu of gifts or flowers Jim hopes you will consider a donation in his honor to his favorite charity, our own Talking Book and Braille Services. It will mean a lot to Jim for you to send him a post. Enjoy the Jim Scheppke Virtual Retirement Party! ---Oregon State Library Staff -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The vocabulary and equipment that they have previously used will need to change accordingly. Because of the flexibility and "normalcy" of the iPad, it may be uniquely well suited to address these changes at a relatively low cost. This webinar will provide information on apps for the iPad that are well suited for the changing needs of the child as they transition from high school to higher education or a work environment.

But what do they all mean? When associated with a government agency or a non-profit it can be very confusing to know what's allowed - and what will land you in hot water. In this session we'll look at both the letter and the spirit of the law when it comes to lobbying and advocacy, as well as specific criteria you can use to assess your own situation. Since local library supporters, whether staff, friends, trustee or board members, have the most influence in the legislative process, it's important to know just how far you can go in connecting them with policymakers. Believe it or not, you have more latitude than you think. And, of course, as a private citizen no one can curtail your right to speak up and make a difference.

This webinar will introduce you to the tips and strategies presented in the toolkit, share the experiences of a rural librarian who has built support for her library, and introduce you to some of the additional advocacy tools and resources from the American Library Association. For more information and to register for this program, visit: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webinars OTHER TOPICS December 12 Change Happens (InSync Training) It's been said that, "The "only people who like change are wet babies and busy cashiers." In this session we'll explore your own reactions/responses to change and look at ways to become more proactive and positive. We will also take a look at the elements of organizational change, strategies for dealing with the conflicts that inevitably occur, and the role you can play in being effective as change unfolds.

These days, it often makes sense to not only consider email, direct mail, and websites as potential channels, but also social networking sites, blogs, online communities, and more. Which channels make sense to communicate what kind of messages, or to encourage action? What's actually working in what situations? We'll provide a decision making structure to help you define what makes sense for you. For more information and to register for this program, visit: http://idealware.org/online-training Let's Get Crazy! Library Programs On and Over the Edge (Infopeople) Do you want to surprise your community with exceptional programs? Are you curious to learn what new and unexpected programs other libraries are doing? It's easy to get stuck in a rut and book the same old performers and speakers. Why not break out of your comfort zone and develop programs that are striking, original, and important! Start asking bigger questions in order to make a bigger impact in your community. But first - get thee to this webinar with other library staff who are reaching for the crazy switch! Before the 60 minutes are up, attendees will: know what a "crazy" program looks like and when a program is not "crazy" enough, acquire new tools and a new perspective for developing more impactful and experimental programs, learn about libraries that have successfully delivered innovative programs, and be able to apply the ideas in this presentation to programs at their libraries to better serve their communities.For more information and to register for this program, visit: http://infopeople.org/training/view/webinar Proposal Budgeting Basics (Grantspace) Learn to prepare and present a budget in a grant proposal. This session, geared to the novice grantseeker, will cover such topics as: What is included under the "personnel" section and how to calculate it? What level of detail do you need to include for non-personnel expenses? How do you determine reasonable costs? What types of expenses are considered "overhead"? What other financial documents will funders want to see? Prior attendance at Proposal Writing Basics is strongly recommended.

The SRP brief is a compilation of data that Oregon public libraries reported this September via the Summer Reading Statistics and Ordering Survey. The SRP brief provides a picture of summer reading participation in Oregon. On the summer reading webpage you will find the SRP brief in both a pdf and word.docx format. Libraries are encouraged to use the word.docx as a template to create their own summer reading brief to share their statistics with their library board, city council, commissioners, and other library stake holders. Based on requests from several libraries, the State Library is now publishing the Summer Reading Statistics Spreadsheet. This allows you to compare participation in summer reading at your library to similar libraries in Oregon. In addition, I included the population of children 0-14 years old from the 2011-2012 Ready to Read Grant list and calculated the % of those children who signed-up and finished so you can get a better idea of the reach your program has in your community. This spreadsheet also includes adult summer reading statistics. Enjoy!

If you remember, last year was the first year of the contest and it was the brain child of folks at the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP). Each participating state runs the contest locally, winners are selected for each state, and are featured on the cslpreads.org website. Oregon teens are encouraged to create and submit 30-90 second PSAs promoting the summer reading program. The deadline for submissions is Saturday, March 3. All submissions will be posted to a YouTube channel which will be open for users to vote for their favorite videos by "Liking" them. The final winner will be selected by a panel of judges from OYAN. I've attached Oregon's entry form which includes contest rules, and I encourage you to check out the contest resources on the CSLP website. I've also included some suggestions below about implementing the contest at your school or library. Please let me know if you have any questions. Note that while submitted videos must be posted online, paper forms need to be signed and submitted to me. Video Contest Programming * Plan a video making workshop using free video editing software like Windows Live Movie Maker. * Invite folks from local cable access or film centers to teach a movie making workshop and/or provide equipment. * Try animation workshops using Machinima or stop motion animation. * While the library is closed, make the space available for movie makers. Provide cardboard, markers and crayons to create set pieces. * Partner with a school or library. Many schools have media labs and may include PSAs as part of their curriculum. * Partner with local youth groups like 4H Tech Wizards. * Consider tying the contest into Teen Tech Week (March 6-12). You could screen submissions at a celebration. * Consider offering prizes for winners and runners up you select locally, but be sure that ALL submissions are sent to me for the state-wide contest. All Oregon public, volunteer, and tribal libraries are members of the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP), and receive a free summer reading manual. To get the most out of your membership, create an account on the CSLP website (http://www.cslpreads.org/) and you will be able to access additional summer reading resources.

Earlier this week, I sent the message below announcing the 2012 Teen Summer Reading Video Challenge. I've had some great questions since then, so I wanted to send you more information. Please let me know if there's anything else you'd like to know. ? CSLP Video Submission Criteria The video will include the teen's interpretation of the 2012 CSLP teen slogan "Own the Night" and promote reading and libraries. The video has a clear message and is delivered in a creative way. The video must be usable to promote summer reading at any public library nationwide: the promotion of a specific library is not acceptable, the video should not state "visit the ABC Public Library" but it is OK for the signage of a public library to appear in the video. The video must be designed for use at any library and be appropriate for viewing by audiences of all ages. All materials used must be created by the teen(s), or be in the public domain. The length of the video must be at least 30 seconds long and no longer than 90 seconds. The video entry form must have the name of a CSLP member library. All entries must include signed Model Release form(s). Once the winning video is determined, the state member will contact the winner and obtain a DVD of the winning video. As the criteria above states, videos should feature teen interpretations of the 2012 teen SRP slogan "Own the Night" and promote reading and libraries in general rather than specific library programs. Videos should definitely focus on teen programs over programs for adults and kids.

Video Contest Programming * Plan a video making workshop using free video editing software like Windows Live Movie Maker. * Invite folks from local cable access or film centers to teach a movie making workshop and/or provide equipment. * Try animation workshops using Machinima or stop motion animation. * While the library is closed, make the space available for movie makers. Provide cardboard, markers and crayons to create set pieces. * Partner with a school or library. Many schools have media labs and may include PSAs as part of their curriculum. * Partner with local youth groups like 4H Tech Wizards. * Consider tying the contest into Teen Tech Week (March 6-12). You could screen submissions at a celebration. * Consider offering prizes for winners and runners up you select locally, but be sure that ALL submissions are sent to me for the state-wide contest. All Oregon public, volunteer, and tribal libraries are members of the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP), and receive a free summer reading manual. To get the most out of your membership, create an account on the CSLP website (http://www.cslpreads.org/) and you will be able to access additional summer reading resources. CSLP membership dues and manual fees are paid for by the State Library with LSTA funds. Summer reading manuals are distributed by OLA's Children's Services Division, and both CSD and OYAN members represent you on CSLP committees and at the CSLP annual meeting. For more information contact one of your CSLP representatives: * Gayle Waiss, CSD Summer Reading Chair: gwaiss at siuslaw.lib.or.us * Jessica Marie, CSD Summer Reading Incoming Chair: Jmarie at cityofsalem.net * Lisa Elliott, OYAN CSLP Liaison: lisae at tigard-or.gov * Katie Anderson, CSLP Oregon State Representative: katie.anderson at state.or.us Lisa N Elliott Young Adult Librarian Tigard Public Library lisae at tigard-or.gov 503-718-2654 ________________________________ DISCLAIMER: E-mails sent or received by City of Tigard employees are subject to public record laws.

Message-ID: Hi Everyone, Survey Monkey is ready to start taking your votes for Book Rave 2012: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/5GGYRQW This year, I've included genres just after the title to help you remember the different titles. Once again, there is a choice for a "no" vote. If you feel strongly that a nominated book does not deserve to be a part of Book Rave, please vote no. I'll subtract no votes from the yes votes to get a total. If you like a title, vote yes! Survey Monkey uses IP addresses to remember votes, you'll be able to add votes as you keep reading nominated titles, as well as see how you've already voted (assuming you always vote from the same computer). You can vote until January 15th. Be prepared to discuss, debate, and shimmy the results at the Winter Membership meeting. I've attached the nominations spreadsheet if you want to review the titles and their tags. Also, here is a link to the OYAN blog for refreshers on book covers and summaries. http://oyanpeeps.wordpress.com/category/book-rave/ Thanks for voting!
