The four main topics being (1) differences between fiction and non-fiction, (2) locating materials in alphabetical order, (3) proper ways to remove and replace books from shelves, and (4) proper handling of materials once checked out from the library. It's worked like gangbusters for groups of 15 - 250 students. If interested, please find the program breakdown attached, and as always feel free to change and adapt as you see fit. What I'd like to do is create trilogies of this program- and for progressing grades- in order to have once-a-semester contact with students who we might never get to see otherwise. Additionally, my intention to having it only for certain grades is to create a special rite of passage feel to the presentations for the classes. I'm thinking something along the lines of this: 1st grade: Basic library skills 1, 2, 3 3rd grade: Basic library site search and request skills, basic database and internet search skills 5th/6th grade: Intermediate library site search and request skills, intermediate database and internet search skills, basic reference skills High school(?): Advanced library site search and request skills, intermediate to advanced database use, intermediate to advanced reference skills If anyone finds helping create some or all of these programs intriguing, I'd love to start up a group to begin production of simple lesson plans to share with the Oregon library community. If there are enough Portland-area librarians who would like to be a part of this, I'd be happy to coordinate an informal group meeting over food/drinks. I'll also begin creating a blog or wiki so everybody can share success stories. Thanks for your time, and have a great week. Sincerely, Patrick L.

I thought children's and teen librarians may be interested in reading the latest report from America's Children on Key National Indicators of Well-being (of 0-17 year olds). Here are some things I learned from the highlights that got me thinking about library services to children and teens: * The racial and ethnic diversity of America's Children has grown dramatically in the last three decades and will continue to grow. In 2023, fewer than half of all children are projected to be White, non-Hispanic. o Will the % of materials in library collections representing races and ethnicities be equal to the actual % of those races and ethnicities in the community in 2023 (which is only 12 years away!) * About 6 percent of school-age children spoke a language other than English at home and lived in a linguistically isolated household in which all persons age 14 or over speak a language other than English at home and no person age 14 or over speaks English "Very well." o How is the library providing services to children and families who speak languages other than English? * In 2009, 21 percent of all children ages 0-17 (15.5 million) lived in poverty. o What partnerships and/or outreach services is the library implementing to reach kids in poverty who may need our resources the most? * In 2009, the adolescent birth rate was 20.1 per 1,000 adolescents ages 15-17, lower than the 2008 rate of 21.7 and the 2007 rate of 22.1 per 1,000. o How is the library providing services to pregnant and parenting teens? * In an average week during the 2010 school year, 9 percent of youth ages 16-19 were neither enrolled in school nor working. Black, non-Hispanic youth and Hispanic youth are more likely to be neither enrolled in school nor working than White, non-Hispanic youth. o What partnerships and outreach services is the library implementing to engage unemployed, high-school dropouts?

The poll is located on the linked Survey Monkey page. Scoring will go like this: your favorite will get 4 points, second favorite 3 points, and so on. The suggest name with the highest overall score after everyone votes will win. You should be able to revisit the poll and alter your selection if you change your mind, but you'll need to use the same computer you used on your original voting. Voting will end at 3pm on Thursday, July 21st. You might notice a couple of suggested names have a subtitle. Either of these subtitles (or a variant of either) can easily be attached to any of the selected names. Also, "OYAN" or "OYAN's" may be added to the beginning of the title ("presented by OYAN" may instead added to the end, I suppose), so judge how that rolls off the tongue. Follow this link to vote: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/LW7W3V9 Let me know if there is some aspect of the poll which does not behave as I described above. You will see checkmarks next to your selections, but not point values. You will also not be able to see the overall score. You'll have to wait for the big reveal!

If you send your response to my gmail address, I'll be able to view your comments on my phone and will pass your questions/concerns along to OYAN members at the membership meeting in Newport tomorrow (11am-3pm). I've attached the guidelines to this e-mail. As always, if you can't open up the attachment (which seems to be commonplace with those of you receiving this in the digest form), e-mail me before 3pm today and I can send you the file directly to your e-mail. Use kris.lutsock at ci.mcminnville.or.us before 3pm today for this issue, as I don't trust my phone sending attachments. If after reading you have comments, then respond to my gmail.
