If your library or college does not subscribe to Career Information Systems (CIS), feel free to disregard this email. http://oregoncis.uoregon.edu As a result of a partnership with the Oregon State Library, LearningExpress Library (LEL) is now available in Oregon Career Information Systems. This is an additional access point; LEL is still available via links you set up on your institution's website and via OSLIS. To access LEL via CIS, users log in to CIS, click on My Career Planning Portfolio at the top right of the page and create a portfolio, and then click on My Learning Express (last option on page). After clicking on Continue, patrons or students will get right in to LEL without having to log in to it separately because the LEL account is connected to their existing CIS account. When they are done using LEL and log out, they will still be logged in to CIS. LearningExpress Library users should understand that LEL accounts in CIS and those created via your library's links or OSLIS are separate, and resources saved in one are not accessible via the other. In other words, if a user creates a LearningExpress Library account via your library's link to LEL or via the OSLIS link, the results of any LearningExpress tests saved in that account cannot be accessed via the CIS account. If you are helping patrons access LearningExpress Library and your library subscribes to CIS, you might want to discuss the best way to access LearningExpress Library so as to avoid double accounts. If you have questions about how to access LearningExpress Library via Oregon Career Information Systems, please contact Romella Lee at rlee at orcis.uoregon.edu or 800.495.1266 x4. I'll be happy to answer any questions about LearningExpress Library itself. Please share this information with others in your library or college/university as appropriate.

While LearningExpress Library (LEL) has resources for fourth graders and up, this announcement focuses on resources for students in secondary schools or older students being homeschooled. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Spring is the air, and that means Advanced Placement exams and college entrance essays are on some students? minds. You can help take some of the pressure off by letting them know about the resources in LearningExpress Library?s College Preparation learning center. LEL offers two AP practice exams each for biology, calculus, chemistry, English language & composition, English literature & composition, European history, U.S. government, and U.S. history. There is also a section called College Admissions Preparation. Click on it to find six eBooks about college admissions essay preparation. (If essays were due already, there?s always next year.) In addition, remember that the College Preparation learning center has eCourses, eTests, and eBooks designed to prepare students for the ACT, SAT, and PSAT. There are resources for all major test sections, including critical reading, math, writing ? and science for ACT. Plus, some resources focus on study skills and strategies or vocabulary development. [cid:image001.png at 01CCFC5F.B3321BC0] Recall that to access the resources on LEL, users must first create an account and then log in. Students determine their own user names and passwords because ultimately they are creating a personal space for storing tests, courses, or books they have taken or accessed. This is how to create an account for LEL: (See the paragraph below about avoiding double accounts.) Click on the LearningExpress link from your library?s website or from any Find Information page on OSLIS (or on OSLIS Lite). At the bottom of the center column on the LEL homepage, click on Register, found under New Users. Fill out the short form and click on Register. (An email address is not required. However, you cannot receive password reminders if you do not include an email address.) Note your user name and password for future reference. Now that LearningExpress Library is also available in Oregon Career Information Systems (CIS), you?ll want to have students choose which way to access LEL. Why? Because the LEL account in CIS is associated with a user?s CIS portfolio login so is separate and distinct from any account the user creates via the LEL link on your library?s website or OSLIS. In other words, if a user creates a LearningExpress Library account via the link on your library?s website or on OSLIS, the results of any LearningExpress tests saved in that account cannot be accessed via the CIS account, and vice versa. To access LEL via CIS, users log in to CIS, click on My Career Planning Portfolio at the top right of the page, create a portfolio or log in to their existing portfolio, and then click on My Learning Express (last option on page). After clicking on Continue, users will get right in to LEL without having to log in to it separately because the LEL account is connected to their existing CIS account. When they are done using LEL and log out, they will still be logged in to CIS. Questions? Please ask.

In honor of Earth Day, and for the entire month of April, the Earth Day Network is asking libraries to participate in their two-year-old program, Reading for the Earth, for youth in grades K - 8. The goal is for ?kids to borrow and read environmentally themed books from their library. The purpose of the campaign is twofold: to educate youth about the environment, and to inspire them to read books more often.? A rep from the Earth Day Network told me that ALA just signed on as a partner, which basically means they endorse the program. For those who want to register their library and document a few activities, they can receive recognition at the end of the campaign. Or, go low key, don?t register, and participate at your leisure. ;-) The website, http://www.earthday.org/reading, has suggested reading lists, PDFs of promotional posters, suggested activities, an organizer?s guide, and more. http://www.earthday.org/encouragereading (posters and reading lists) http://www.earthday.org/RegisterYourLibrary (register your library) http://www.earthday.org/OrganizeReading (suggested activities and organizer?s guide) http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/1807/images/2012/Reading/readingtoolkit.pdf (overall summary) If you plan to participate, consider supplementing your collection of books about the environment by bookmarking specific articles or searches in the Gale databases. Then post the recommended reading or resource list (of bookmarks) to your library webpage, create a QR code that directs to the page of links and add it to a newsletter article, send the links to your local homeschooling association, etc. Not comfortable using Gale bookmarks that way? Then maybe the Gale webinar on April 3rd at 11am Pacific is for you: Finding eResources to Support Library Programming. Here?s a sample of bookmarked items from the Gale databases that promote learning about the environment.

Earlier this week I read the article Your Wired Kid by Annie Murphy Paul in Good Housekeeping online. Much of the article pulls from Lisa Guernsey, one of my favorite resources for media literacy information and research and author of Into the Minds of Babes. This article specifically discusses media use and children over 2 years old, particularly school age kids and teens, and takes the realistic approach that kids today consume media almost constantly and asks how can we set expectations around media use that off-set the negative effects and increase the positive social and educational effects. Here are the key things I took away: Growing research shows that screen time can make a kid fat, interfere with sleep, increase risky behaviors (drinking, smoking, drug use, and unprotected sex), weaken parental bonds, and correspond to mood problems. (my summary of negative research in the article) Growing research shows that video game players have sharper vision, faster reaction times, are less easily distracted, are better at multi-tasking, and may be associate with increased creativity such as generating stories. Screen time can also foster connections, closeness with peers, greater empathy, and provide a venue teens are more willing to share their feelings and practice emotional life. (my summary of positive research in the article) Tips for parents: 1. Don?t get caught up in the idea of limiting screen time to a certain number of hours, instead establish tech-free zones or times of day (such as during meal times) and collect all electronic devices an hour before bedtime, returning them all in the morning. 2. Consider your child?s behavior both online and offline?is your child meeting obligations at school and home and do they have positive friendships both online and face-to-face. 3. Give your kids guidance on digital life just as you would any other fraught activity.

The goal is for kids in grades K-8 to borrow and read environmentally themed books from a library for the purpose of educating youth about the environment and inspiring them to read books more often. Check out the website for suggested reading lists, PDFs of promotional posters, suggested activities, an organizer?s guide, and more. http://www.earthday.org/reading Supplement Environmental Books with Gale Resources If you plan to participate in Reading for the Earth, consider supplementing your collection of books about the environment by bookmarking specific articles or searches in the Gale databases. Then post the recommended reading or resource list (of bookmarks) to your library webpage, create a QR code that directs to the page of links and add it to a newsletter article, send the links to teachers via email, etc. Here?s a sample of bookmarked items from the Gale databases that promote learning about the environment. If you are prompted for a user name and password, enter the Gale login for your school. If prompted for a "password, library barcode number, or other ID," just use the password of your school?s Gale login.

Message-ID: Cross posted to memberclicks: To let you know a bit about what the position entails, I spend usually two-to-four hours a week on emails, phone calls, updates and the like. This includes the time spent on OLA board and annual conference committee duties. A couple of weeks more time has been required (leading up to the OYAN officer steering committee meeting, for example). I probably spend a couple of hours over one or two days prepping for each quarterly meeting (you can use past meetings as a framework). Then there is the time for the membership meetings themselves, which you may already be attending already. However, different people have different work styles, so you may be more efficient than I am. Being on the state board requires about 5 hours every other month for a meeting. With travel time, this can really get into that particular Friday. However, with go-to-meeting, you can cut out the travel time and cost. As an OLA Board Rep, there is also a retreat at Silver Falls during the Summer (it's fun!). Now, while we would love to see your shining face at every OYAN membership meeting, you are not required to be at these quarterly meetings until next fall late summer. For your first year (as vice-chair/chair elect), while you need to be present at these meetings, you can opt to attend these meetings remotely via conference call or virtually via go-to-meeting software (saving travel time and cost). It would not be for a year-and-a-half (Sept 2013) in which your physical presence will be required (illness and death in the family are still an acceptable out!). Heck, by then we might do all of our meetings remotely by our collaborative software. You could lead that charge! As the chair elect/vice chair your big duty will be the raffle. Over the past couple of years we have divided up this task among several people, so this task requires much less time than it did in the past and much of it over only one month. You'll still need to coordinate everyone's raffle donation requests and you'll spend time at the annual conference at the raffle table. Even with the table you can often find others to take turns at the table so you can attend some conference sessions. You'll probably end up on the conference session committee. This will probably require a couple of one-hour meetings via conference call/go-to-meeting and one visit to the site. My visit to the site was in Bend, so that was a pretty lengthy day. The one you'd do would be in Salem (in 2014), so that may be considerable closer, depending on your location. Even so, you may be able to hand this committee membership to someone else, which hopefully will get them involved in an OYAN leadership position for future office. If you don't think you'll have the time all of these tasks and would prefer to spilt the chair position with someone else, the best natural break would be to have someone plan/run the meetings and plan/organize for the conference sessions OYAN presents and sponsors. The other person can attend the OLA board meetings, give those reports at the OYAN meetings, and then assist as needed with following up on emails, planning, programming et al. Either could be on the conference session planning committee. As the chair really have a say on how OYAN operates that year. Depending on your preferred work-style, you can be a consensus-builder, a facilitator for others pet projects, or if you are more hands-on, steer our division towards your vision and priorities. Trust me when I say there are a lot of people willing to give you a hand, offer advice, give you reminders, hand-hold you through the first months, take on tasks when you're unavailable, and laugh at your corny jokes! If you think you only want to co-chair, I may have one person willing to co-chair alongside you. If you want to do it on your own, all's the better!! Get back to me if you think this for you!

The next Gale webinar in the spring series for Oregon library staff, Finding eResources to Support Library Programming, will be on Tuesday, April 3rd from 11am to noon Pacific. See the email below for a description. Originally for library programming, we were thinking about holidays, Women's History Month and the similar "months," etc., but you could also use what you learn to find resources to support the summer reading program theme. For example, you could create games like those in the Summer Reading section of the Gale Guided Tutorials page: http://www.gale.cengage.com/guidedtour/index.htm. You do not need to register for the webinar, and a PDF with access information is included in the postings on Northwest Central and the two Gale support sites for Oregon libraries. http://www.nwcentral.org/finding-eresources-support-library-programming-gale-webinar http://galesupport.com/oregon/ (Click on Training Opportunities in blue toolbar at top of page.) http://www.galesupport.com/oregonacad/ (Click on Training Info in column on right.)
