Message-ID: <640435851FD7CB4AB3C4BE0D1963BA24314E305D@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local> The online summer reading catalog is now available! http://www.cslpreads.org/order.html Things to remember: * The summer reading catalog and manual are only available to Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP) members. All public, volunteer, and tribal libraries in Oregon are CSLP members. School libraries may partner with their local public, volunteer, or tribal library to access CSLP summer reading materials. * You can pick up your 2013 summer reading manual at the OLA's Children's Services Division (CSD) Fall Workshop on October 27th at Hood River County Library. If you don't pick it up, then the CSD Summer Reading Chair, Jessica Marie, will mail it to your library by the end of December. Manuals will be addressed to your library's Ready to Read Grant key contact or Director. o Register to attend the CSD Fall Workshop: https://ola.memberclicks.net/index.php?option=com_mc&view=mc&mcid=form_118651 o If you don't receive your 2013 summer reading manual by January 1, 2013, contact Jessica Marie at Jmarie at cityofsalem.net * You must login to the CSLP website in order to access the summer reading catalog and shop online for summer reading materials and incentives. o If you forgot your username and/or password, go here: http://www.cslpreads.org/component/comprofiler/lostpassword.html o If you never registered for a username and password, go here: http://www.cslpreads.org/component/comprofiler/registers.html * Order early! Upstart uses the number of early orders to estimate how many total products to produce. If you have been frustrated because items you want run out before summer even starts, that's because not enough libraries ordered those items early. Want to be sure to get that hot item? Order early!

As you probably know by now, October is Information Literacy Month (ILM) in Oregon, as proclaimed by Governor Kitzhaber. Oregon's awareness campaign is part of a bigger national focus. Hopefully you are planning a few activities or have some ideas about how to promote ILM. A quick way to draw attention to the campaign is to add the official Oregon Information Literacy Month badge to your email signature, library or school or district website, social networking sites, printouts, etc. I attached an image file for the badge, and code for it is available on the Thriving Libraries website: http://www.librariesthriving.org/partnerships/2012-information-literacy-campaign. Be sure to choose Oregon from the drop-down menu before copying any code. Another suggestion is to link to some facts and resources about information literacy when you post the badge online or in your email signature. No time to create your own page? Feel free to link to the Oregon State Library's page: http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/resources/InformationLiteracyMonth.aspx. Thanks very much to WCCLS for granting us permission to borrow their ideas and to Darci Hanning for crafting the OSL page. FYI, I will add a link to the Oregon School Library Standards on OSL's Information Literacy Month resource page soon. https://sites.google.com/site/oregonschoollibrarystandards/ Thanks, Jen Jennifer Maurer School Library Consultant Oregon State Library 250 Winter Street NE Salem, OR 97301 503.378.5011 jennifer.maurer at state.or.us October is Information Literacy Month!

Join your Teen Services colleagues in Tualatin on Friday, October 26 for our annual Fall Workshop and Meeting! Our workshop this year is "Sex in the Library". If you work with teens in your library, there's a good chance you've already had teens wanting to learn more about sex and sexuality. It can definitely be challenging! Join presenters from Planned Parenthood, SMYRC, and Jessica Duke, Program Coordinator, Adolescent Sexual Health Section, OHA, to learn ways to help teens get the information they need! Plus, stay for our Fall OYAN meeting after the workshop! One correction: The workshop runs from 10-12, and our meeting runs from 1-4! (I mistakenly listed the meeting as running from 1-3 in my previous reminder) Thanks!

Contact: Claudia Hackworth Evanced Solutions Sales Manager 317-275-2709 CHackworth at evancedsolutions.com Claudia from Evanced emailed me and said "What we can offer is that if we can get a minimum number of OR libraries interested in subscribing to Summer Reader, we can offer a 3-year nicely discounted price to form a sort of 'virtual consortium'." At this time the Oregon State Library and Oregon Library Association have decided not to pursue a statewide summer reading software contract (see the email below for details). However, if you are interested in partnering with other Oregon libraries to get a deal on a contract with a summer reading software vendor, then start talking with your colleagues to find out what other libraries may be interested. Either contact libraries you already network with individually or send an email out on one of the listservs. * Libs-or (all types of library staff, all types of libraries) http://listsmart.osl.state.or.us/mailman/listinfo/libs-or * OYAN (library staff interested in teen/young adult services-primary at public and school libraries) http://listsmart.osl.state.or.us/mailman/listinfo/oyan * Kids-lib (library staff interested in children's services-primary at public and school libraries) http://listsmart.osl.state.or.us/mailman/listinfo/kids-lib Katie Anderson, Library Development Services * Youth Services Consultant * Oregon Center for the Book Coordinator * Oregon State Library, 250 Winter St. NE, Salem, OR 97301 katie.anderson at state.or.us, 503-378-2528 [cid:image001.png at 01CD9CA2.9FA55520] National Information Literacy Month Resources: http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/resources/InformationLiteracyMonth.aspx From: libs-or-bounces at listsmart.osl.state.or.us [mailto:libs-or-bounces at listsmart.osl.state.or.us] On Behalf Of Katie Anderson Sent: Tuesday, July 17, 2012 10:52 AM To: (libs-or at listsmart.osl.state.or.us) Subject: [Libs-Or] Learn about online summer reading program products 10/3/2012 This winter I worked with the chairs of OLA's Children Services Division (CSD) and Oregon Young Adult Network (OYAN) to explore whether or not libraries in Oregon are interested in a statewide contract for software that would enable them to put their summer reading programs online. We learned that while many Oregon libraries are interested, a significant number are not. Therefore the State Library, CSD, and OYAN have decided not to pursue a statewide contract for summer reading software. Due to the fact that many libraries are interested in summer reading software and may be able to form a consortium to get a better price, I have scheduled a webinar with one summer reading software vendor for any of you who are interested-details below. After this webinar, interested libraries will be responsible for any next steps. If some libraries are interested in exploring a consortium, then they will have to take the lead on facilitating that effort. Libraries will also be responsible for scheduling webinars or product demos with other vendors of summer reading software. Evanced Summer Reader webinar October 3, 2012 2:00pm-3:00pm This webinar will give libraries across Oregon the opportunity to get a general overview of a whole suite of products to help keep their libraries at the center of their communities. Used by thousands of libraries, the Summer Reader, Events and Room Reserve software ensure your patrons know what's happening and are able to sign up for reading programs, events, and even request rooms online or via a mobile device. Learn about the new products just coming into the market: Peek-a-Book Total Access provides high-end video teasers of the best of children's literature, and MarkIt is a book sale management system to truly make your book sales a solid revenue stream. This one-hour demo will touch on all these products, and give you a taste of the possibilities in your libraries. I will email out the URL and login instructions closer to the date of the webinar.

With our Gale statewide contract, we have access to a lot of databases. On one hand, that's great because of all the sources and information we can access. On the other hand, it can be a bit confusing to know what to use when. In an effort to help clear up some of that confusion, I created two documents a few years ago and updated them last month. The one called "comparisons" highlights the databases that are specifically designed for a K12 audience and a few others that, while not designed for K12, can be helpful for many middle and high schoolers. As a simple starting point, if you work with students in grades K-5, I recommend starting with Kids InfoBits. If you teach middle and high schoolers, start with Student Resources in Context. Example: [cid:image002.png at 01CDA56F.ACC05090] The "relationships" chart shows how some of the K12 databases are related - how they build upon each other. Example: [cid:image003.png at 01CDA56F.FE09F230] You can locate the documents at the very bottom of both educator Find Information pages: http://secondary.educator.oslis.org/find-information and http://elementary.educator.oslis.org/find-information. A version of this message is available in the OSLIST archive on OSLIS: http://oslis.org/oslissupport/announcements/2012/october-8-2012. As always, if you have questions about OSLIS or the databases, please ask.

Brooklyn Castle, an independent documentary that looks at a year in the lives of several members of the chess team at I.S. 318 - a middle school where 65% of students are from homes living below the federal poverty level, which also has the best junior high school chess team, bar none, in the country! The team wins against schools that have resources it could only dream of, and counts some of the best young players in the country among its members. (In fact, if Albert Einstein, who was rated about 1800, were to join the team, he'd only rank fourth.) It features up-and-coming national chess stars including the New York Times featured James Black and Justus Williams -- who last year became the youngest African-American Chess Master in history. Brooklyn Castle is NOT just a film about chess. It's a genuinely funny, moving and emotional testament to the potential for all young people to succeed. These screenings not only help raise awareness about the deep importance of afterschool, but drive home how these programs can and do improve outcomes for under-served youth and literally save lives -- and inspire members of community to make a difference in their own local schools. Pick your screening... and let us know you're coming! I will be attending in Portland on Oct 24th or I will be attending in Salem on Nov. 2nd Space is limited - register today!

Our goal is that all Oregon children, youth and families will have access to quality out-of-school time options within their communities. All services will enhance children's positive development, and future opportunities while keeping them safe from harm. All programs, services and activities will be of high quality and contribute to strong communities and schools. Library summer reading programs, book clubs, homework helper, gaming @ the library, Lego club, anime club, teen advisory council and any library program for children and teens when they are not in school are afterschool programs. Library staff who implement programs for school-age children and teens when they are not in school are afterschool providers.

We'll also be getting updates about the OASL conference and the Book Rave nominations. I'm also now asking for meeting agenda items! Let me know if there's something else that needs to be on the agenda, and I'll send out the finalized list next Tuesday. Thanks!

This compares to 5,296 entries last year. I have attached the audit that shows how many entries were received from each library in case you are interested to learn how many of your summer readers actually submitted their entry coupons into the drawing for the $1,000 Oregon College Savings Plan. The 15 people selected in the random drawing have been notified and their paperwork to claim their prize has been sent to them. The deadline for submitting their completed paperwork to the Oregon College Savings Plan is October 31st. That means the winners will not be announced at the state level until early November. However if your library has a winner, your library will be notified by the Oregon College Savings Plan as soon as your winner claims their prize and can start promoting you winner at that time. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Well, I?ll be. Look how well Cyber Security Awareness Month fits right in to Information Literacy Month. It?s like they were made for each other! As part of ILM, maybe you could share something with school staff about CSAM. For example, while exploring the resources, I learned that National Cyber Security Awareness Month is ?an effort coordinated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the Multi-State ISAC [What?!], and the National Cyber Security Alliance along with many governments, businesses, schools, and other groups to improve cyber security preparedness. It?s a great time to evaluate your online activities and take some basic steps to protect yourself.? http://www.oregon.gov/DAS/CIO/ESO/Pub/Newsletters/2012-10-V07-10.pdf One activity from the Multi-State Information Sharing & Analysis Center [Oh, that!] is to sign an online pledge to do things like create strong passwords and safeguard sensitive data. Huh. Those sound like information literacy skills for 21st-century folks. https://msisac.cisecurity.org/cyber-pledge/ Also, the MS-ISAC is sponsoring a national K12 computer safety poster contest. Submissions are due February 28, 2013. Winners from three age groups (K-5, 6-8, 9-12) will get their artwork included in a calendar that will be distributed nationally, among other things. Coolio. http://msisac.cisecurity.org/awareness/poster2013/index.cfm Finally, I had never heard of the website called Stop. Think. Connect until I learned about CSAM. Have you heard about it? Have your teachers? The site has online safety posters you can download for free. Or, get down with Jay Wise while learning online safety tips from a funky music video! http://stopthinkconnect.org/campaigns/details/?id=76 http://stopthinkconnect.org/campaigns/videos/ For other tips about spreading the word about Information Literacy Month, see previous OSLIST postings.

She poses the question "How to make the library more culturally sensitive towards Native children..." and follow with "What makes anyone---generally speaking---feel comfortable in a place?" Her suggestions focus on collection development, but also touch on things like Read posters featuring Native people and languages. Children and teens are especially looking for people who look like them and have similar backgrounds as themselves in literature, entertainment, and their environment. It helps them develop a positive self-imagine and provides them an opportunity to see how a person with a similar background belongs and/or deals with complex issues.

The workshops will help librarians learn what defines hot topics, what the best titles are to meet demand, and how to anticipate and select for your teen fans. In this workshop, we?ll look at a perennially recurring question: does gender matter in teen lit? Are there really girl books and boy books? How far should our responsibility to our teens go in ensuring our collections reflect their gender identities, questions, and voices? We?ll examine the recent debates concerning boys becoming reluctant readers once the teen years arrive, the challenge and importance of writing across gender lines, and the possibilities of moving beyond thinking of titles as ?guy? or ?girl? titles. We will also discuss the stereotypes surrounding gendering titles, the redefining of what gender means in teen literature, and how to pitch titles to fans without falling into traps of gendered thinking. There will be a reading list, so sign up early to give yourself time. Check out our other Teen Lit Boot Camp workshops. If you sign up for more than one, you get a 15% discount!

In this post, you'll find links to ALA's READ posters that feature Sherman Alexie, author of THE ABSOLUTELY TRUE DIARY OF A PART TIME INDIAN.

Papoose? http://americanindiansinchildrensliterature.blogspot.com/2008/02/papoose.html Did you order Louise Erdrich's newest book in the Birchbark House series? If not, do it today! Chickadee is terrific! Louise Erdrich's Chickadee http://americanindiansinchildrensliterature.blogspot.com/2012/08/louise-erdrichs-chickadee.html I'll close with this: Too many people think that American Indians died off, due to warfare and disease. When the emphasis in library displays is American Indians of the past, you inadvertently contribute to that idea. Librarians are a powerful group of people. You can help Americans be less-ignorant about American Indians. Research studies show that American Indian students drop out at exceedingly high rates. Scholars attribute this, in part, to their experience with curricular materials in school. Materials set in the past, materials that stereotype American Indians, and materials that are factually incorrect or highly biased against American Indians, cause Native students to disengage from school. Libraries can interrupt that disengagement, or, they can contribute to it... As human beings, we love to see reflections of ourselves and our hometowns. They can a source of pride or a boost to the self-esteem. But---that is only true if they are accurate. Native people want that, too, but American society has a long way to go to get there. Libraries can get us there, but we'll need your help year-round, not just in November. I hope the resources I share in this email will be ones that you spread out, all year long.

To compete in the regional/state OBOB tournaments in spring, 2013 schools must complete an online registration form and postmark payments by November 15th. Please check with library colleagues and administrators in your area to make sure no one has overlooked the looming deadline. There is a spreadsheet of currently registered participants posted on the front page of the OBOB wiki Schools without professional library staffing may not be aware of the registration deadline so your assistance could be especially valuable. All registration information can be found on the wiki along with 2012-2013 title lists for grade level divisions 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12, a handbook of rules & procedures, and other related resources. Close to 400 Oregon schools participated in OBOB last year and new schools are welcome to sign up. This successful reading motivation program promotes teamwork and academic excellence and continues to increase in popularity with students, teachers, principals, and parents. Growth in reading comprehension and encouragement of a love of reading are among the benefits observed by participating schools. If schools in your area have not established a battle of the books program, we encourage you to talk to librarians, teachers, administrators, and parent groups about joining OBOB before the November 15th deadline. -- Mary McClintock School Library Media Consultant OBOB Executive Committee 541-680-0998 cell 541-839-4905 home -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

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. 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 2012-2013 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 year I have also added two additional pages to the 2012 Summer Reading Statistics Spreadsheet because libraries cannot print the statistics and orders they submit via the survey. * To view the order your library placed for summer reading certificates, sweepstakes materials, and summer reading manuals open the 2012 Oregon Summer Reading Statistics Spreadsheet by clicking on 'excel.xls' and clicking on the 'Orders Placed for future SRP' tab along the bottom of the page. * To view information about how you and other libraries run summer reading programs open the 2012 Oregon Summer Reading Statistics Spreadsheet by clicking on 'excel.xls' and clicking on the '2012 SRP Details' tab along the bottom of the page. Attached is a template you may use to create a summer reading brief specific to your library's summer reading statistics and personal success stories. Your library's summer reading brief may be useful for your library board, city council, board of commissioners, and other key stakeholders in your community.

Students write letters to an author explaining how that author's book changed their way of thinking about the world or themselves. There are three competition levels: Level I for 4th-6th graders, Level II for 7th-8th graders, and Level III for 9th-10th graders. Oregon's three winners, one from each competition level, will go on to compete nationally. Entry forms and guidelines are now available online at http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/youthsvcs/aboutlit.aspx. All entries must be postmarked January 11, 2013.

Lesson plans and an outline connecting Letters About Literature to Common Core State Standards for English language arts are available online at http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/youthsvcs/aboutlit.aspx#Promotional_Material_and_Resources. Last school year, over 800 students in Oregon entered the contest, and 1 in 11 of them received cash prizes or bookstore gift certificates. These prizes are made possible through support from the Oregon Reading Association, Oregon Association of School Libraries, and the Oregon Library Association's Children Services Division and Young Adult network.
