From AMEUCHEL at ci.tualatin.or.us Fri Sep 7 10:11:55 2012 From: AMEUCHEL at ci.tualatin.or.us (AIMEE MEUCHEL) Date: Fri, 7 Sep 2012 17:11:55 +0000 Subject: [OYAN] Book Rave Round One Message-ID: Hi Everyone, I'm Aimee, the Co-Chair of OYAN along with Traci Glass. I serve as the Book Rave coordinator and track all of the nominations. Attached is the Book Rave nominations spreadsheet. New recommendations are in red, so this being the first publishing of this year's spreadsheet, all titles are in red. In future updates, previously suggested titles with a new nomination will get a red addition to the nominations number (always welcome as these might prompt others to give the book a try). Also included are the month and year of publication, author's name, the book's genre, and any tags I could think of (not my specialty). 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 and I can send you the file directly to your e-mail. When nominating a book, please include the author, title genre, and month and year of publication. If you also want to include a short blurb, PLEASE do! I'll include it in the next reminder email. Send all nominations to ameuchel at ci.tualatin.or.us. The last day to nominate a title is December 1st. . Here's some official dates to remember: * Dec. 1: Nominations close. * Dec. 15: Preliminary voting opens. * Jan. 15: Preliminary voting closes. Again, please send all nominations to ameuchel at ci.tualatin.or.us. Thanks!

Message-ID: <504BD46A.7070301@cclsd.org> We are the Oregon Young Adult Network! We have the power to transform...Summer Reading! Yes, even now as you zoom into Teen Read Week toward Mock Printz and beyond to Teen Tech Week, you can project yourself even further into the future for the Summer of 2014. That's right, 2014! Now is the time to prepare your ideas for the Teen CSLP Manual for 2014. The deadline: November 1. The theme, Science, is aglow with STEM-y goodness. The teen slogan: "Spark a Reaction!" Think of Bill Nye and exult: it's Science! Exercise your gleeful laugh. Attached in RTF format you?ll find science ideas generated at the annual CSLP meeting last April for the teen manual. I'm including them at the end of this message as well, just to cover our communicative bases. As you?ll see, the librarians went even broader in their brainstorming session this year. If you?ve done a successful program along any of these lines, please share it with all your CSLP-using colleagues. If you have other great ideas for "Spark a Reaction", share those, too! The CSLP chair is especially interested in your ideas for Setting the Scene: how to do a display; decorating your teen area; making a teen space inviting; and what else to display besides books. Send your contributions by November 1 to: Patti Sinclair 306 Virginia Terrace Madison, WI 53726 trishsinclair at sbcglobal.net 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 Childrens Services Division, and both CSD and OYAN members represent you on CSLP committees and at the CSLP annual meeting.

Only one survey per library/library system should be submitted. If you are responsible for summer reading at your library, please talk to your library director and get the link to the survey from him/her. The deadline for completing the summer reading statistics and ordering survey is Wednesday, October 3rd. The survey sent to your director and Ready to Read Grant key contact does not include an opportunity to provide feedback. You will have an opportunity to provide feedback on all things summer reading via the SRP feedback survey conducted and sent by Abbie Anderson, the Oregon Young Adult Network?s (OYAN) CSLP Liaison. The SRP feedback survey will go out to all Oregon library staff via the kids-lib, OYAN, and libs-or email discussion lists. This allows you and your colleagues to share your professional opinions individually. Be on the lookout for that survey from Abbie.

In Common Core Thrusts Librarians Into Leadership Role, readers learn that librarians are revamping their collections to better align with the information text and rigor expectations of CCSS; working with teachers to find resources that support the standards and to rework selected activities to be research-driven; repackaging their research instruction to demonstrate how it is inquiry, which CCSS demands; and leading inservices to train content area teachers on literacy skills. There?s an interesting angle about library budgets and common core, too: ?Ms. Hearne [a librarian in South Carolina] reports that ? her book budget has doubled this year. That came in the wake of her superintendent's request for a report on the percentage of fiction and nonfiction, and the age of the nonfiction materials, in the district's school libraries, she said.? For some starter ideas for upgrading your nonfiction (informational text) collection, check out the Resource Roundup column in the Fall 2012 issue of the Interchange. Also note that the OSLIS/Gale Friday session at the OASL conference in Seaside will have a section about using the databases to find and filter informational text to support CCSS. I hope everyone had a positive start to the new school year!

October 6) and/or Banned Website Awareness Day (October 3). I wrote the post for the school library community, but most of the ideas are adaptable for public libraries.

Research to learn.? From: oslist-bounces at listsmart.osl.state.or.us [mailto:oslist-bounces at listsmart.osl.state.or.us] On Behalf Of Jennifer Maurer Sent: Friday, September 21, 2012 1:13 PM To: OSLIST (oslist at listsmart.osl.state.or.us) Subject: [oslist] Ideas for October's Information Literacy Month I seldom post anything to OSLIST that is not specifically about OSLIS or the statewide databases (Gale and LearningExpress Library). However, since OSLIS is an information literacy website, I feel it is appropriate to promote Information Literacy Month ideas via OSLIST. ? Thanks, Jen In June, Governor Kitzhaber proclaimed October 2012 Information Literacy Month in Oregon. This effort aligns with the National Forum on Information Literacy?s (NFIL) celebration of National Information Literacy Awareness Month in October. As President Obama noted in the proclamation that made October 2009 National Information Literacy Awareness month, http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/Presidential-Proclamation-National-Information-Literacy-Awareness-Month/ Though we may know how to find the information we need, we must also know how to evaluate it. Over the past decade, we have seen a crisis of authenticity emerge. We now live in a world where anyone can publish an opinion or perspective, whether true or not, and have that opinion amplified within the information marketplace. At the same time, Americans have unprecedented access to the diverse and independent sources of information, as well as institutions such as libraries and universities, that can help separate truth from fiction and signal from noise. Our Nation's educators and institutions of learning must be aware of -- and adjust to -- these new realities. In addition to the basic skills of reading, writing, and arithmetic, it is equally important that our students are given the tools required to take advantage of the information available to them. The ability to seek, find, and decipher information can be applied to countless life decisions, whether financial, medical, educational, or technical. With that in mind, I want to share a few ideas for promoting information literacy next month (and beyond). This is just the start; look for a few more posts later. Define the Term We use the term information literacy a lot, but do we have an understandable definition for it? If we are to send a clear message, it should be easy to understand and consistent. If your school, district, or library does not have an official definition, consider using or building upon ALA?s interpretation: http://www.ala.org/acrl/standards/informationliteracycompetency Information literacy is a set of abilities requiring individuals to recognize when information is needed and have the ability to locate, evaluate, and use effectively the needed information. That sounds deceptively simple. We know the depth and breadth of topics and competencies this entails, but does your audience ? students, teachers, administrators, parents ? know? When you teach students to evaluate websites, do they understand that it?s in the broader context of information literacy? When you collaborate with teachers on lessons that meet their objectives and yours, do the teachers understand that the lesson (likely) fits under the end goal of developing information literate students? When you lead an information night about media literacy, do parents understand? you get it. ? Promote It Visually It would be great to promote Information Literacy Month both in physical and virtual spaces. For example? ? Decorate a bulletin board or the door in the library, or better yet, a space near the school?s entrance or office. Items to post could include any combination of the following: o the attached proclamation o your definition of information literacy o a quiz so folks can test their skills (I envision folder papers with a question on the top and the answer under the flap.) o images & explanations of sample info lit skills (like a TV screen with a blurb about learning to decode advertisements; a book with a blurb about learning its parts ? table of contents, chapter headings, index, info graphics ? to better isolate or comprehend information and ?) o images depicting examples of using information literacy in ?real life? (Have a heading that says, ?You?ll use information literacy your whole life. Learn the skills now.? Show a picture of a new car with this under it: Which car do I buy? What?s the best way to pay for it?, a picture of a college with this under it: Where should I go to college? Is college or a technical school my better choice?, etc.) o Include related AASL standards in smaller font under the images/headings/explanations described above: http://www.ala.org/aasl/sites/ala.org.aasl/files/content/guidelinesandstandards/learningstandards/AASL_LearningStandards.pdf. o No time? Sketch out your idea and ask a volunteer to run with it. ? Include NFIL?s Oregon badge on your school and/or library?s website, in your email signature, etc. Find the code here: http://www.librariesthriving.org/partnerships/2012-information-literacy-campaign [ORinfoLitBadge] ? Wear a button based on the badge or your own design (like, Ask Me About Information Literacy!). Ask staff, board members, etc. to wear the NFIL badge. For the daring types, wear the button outside of school/the library to promote awareness and discussions in the community. Can students serve as information literacy ambassadors and do the same thing, after some training from you? Combine Promotion with That for Banned Books Week & Banned Website Awareness Day Many of you will already be educating about Banned Books Week (September 30 ? October 6) and/or Banned Website Awareness Day (October 3) and can fold that week?s activities into what you do for Information Literacy Month. Wearing buttons? Wear two buttons, one for each campaign, during the first week of October. Creating a bulletin board for Info Lit Month? Save a corner to tie in Banned Books Week. Giving a lesson about BBW or BWAD? Discuss how the topics of censorship and filtering fall under information literacy. For example, in the AASL?s Standards for the 21st-Century Learner, there are many connections: ? Ethical behavior in the use of information must be taught. In this increasingly global world of information, students must be taught to seek diverse perspectives, gather and use information ethically, and use social tools responsibly and safely. ? 3.3.1 Solicit and respect diverse perspectives while searching for information, collaborating with others, and participating as a member of the community. ? 3.3.2 Respect the differing interests and experiences of others, and seek a variety of viewpoints. ? 3.3.7 Respect the principles of intellectual freedom. http://www.bannedbooksweek.org/ http://www.ala.org/advocacy/banned/bannedbooksweek http://www.ala.org/aasl/advocacy/bwad Free webinar about BWAD: http://www.ala.org/aasl/ecollab/upcoming#warrior Whether it?s something from this list or your own ideas, please take advantage of this grand opportunity to promote information literacy and what librarians do.

October 6) and/or Banned Website Awareness Day (October 3). I wrote the post for the school library community, but most of the ideas are adaptable for public libraries.

Research to learn.? From: oslist-bounces at listsmart.osl.state.or.us [mailto:oslist-bounces at listsmart.osl.state.or.us] On Behalf Of Jennifer Maurer Sent: Friday, September 21, 2012 1:13 PM To: OSLIST (oslist at listsmart.osl.state.or.us) Subject: [oslist] Ideas for October's Information Literacy Month I seldom post anything to OSLIST that is not specifically about OSLIS or the statewide databases (Gale and LearningExpress Library). However, since OSLIS is an information literacy website, I feel it is appropriate to promote Information Literacy Month ideas via OSLIST. ? Thanks, Jen In June, Governor Kitzhaber proclaimed October 2012 Information Literacy Month in Oregon. This effort aligns with the National Forum on Information Literacy?s (NFIL) celebration of National Information Literacy Awareness Month in October. As President Obama noted in the proclamation that made October 2009 National Information Literacy Awareness month, http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/Presidential-Proclamation-National-Information-Literacy-Awareness-Month/ Though we may know how to find the information we need, we must also know how to evaluate it. Over the past decade, we have seen a crisis of authenticity emerge. We now live in a world where anyone can publish an opinion or perspective, whether true or not, and have that opinion amplified within the information marketplace. At the same time, Americans have unprecedented access to the diverse and independent sources of information, as well as institutions such as libraries and universities, that can help separate truth from fiction and signal from noise. Our Nation's educators and institutions of learning must be aware of -- and adjust to -- these new realities. In addition to the basic skills of reading, writing, and arithmetic, it is equally important that our students are given the tools required to take advantage of the information available to them. The ability to seek, find, and decipher information can be applied to countless life decisions, whether financial, medical, educational, or technical. With that in mind, I want to share a few ideas for promoting information literacy next month (and beyond). This is just the start; look for a few more posts later. Define the Term We use the term information literacy a lot, but do we have an understandable definition for it? If we are to send a clear message, it should be easy to understand and consistent. If your school, district, or library does not have an official definition, consider using or building upon ALA?s interpretation: http://www.ala.org/acrl/standards/informationliteracycompetency Information literacy is a set of abilities requiring individuals to recognize when information is needed and have the ability to locate, evaluate, and use effectively the needed information. That sounds deceptively simple. We know the depth and breadth of topics and competencies this entails, but does your audience ? students, teachers, administrators, parents ? know? When you teach students to evaluate websites, do they understand that it?s in the broader context of information literacy? When you collaborate with teachers on lessons that meet their objectives and yours, do the teachers understand that the lesson (likely) fits under the end goal of developing information literate students? When you lead an information night about media literacy, do parents understand? you get it. ? Promote It Visually It would be great to promote Information Literacy Month both in physical and virtual spaces. For example? ? Decorate a bulletin board or the door in the library, or better yet, a space near the school?s entrance or office. Items to post could include any combination of the following: o the attached proclamation o your definition of information literacy o a quiz so folks can test their skills (I envision folder papers with a question on the top and the answer under the flap.) o images & explanations of sample info lit skills (like a TV screen with a blurb about learning to decode advertisements; a book with a blurb about learning its parts ? table of contents, chapter headings, index, info graphics ? to better isolate or comprehend information and ?) o images depicting examples of using information literacy in ?real life? (Have a heading that says, ?You?ll use information literacy your whole life. Learn the skills now.? Show a picture of a new car with this under it: Which car do I buy? What?s the best way to pay for it?, a picture of a college with this under it: Where should I go to college? Is college or a technical school my better choice?, etc.) o Include related AASL standards in smaller font under the images/headings/explanations described above: http://www.ala.org/aasl/sites/ala.org.aasl/files/content/guidelinesandstandards/learningstandards/AASL_LearningStandards.pdf. o No time? Sketch out your idea and ask a volunteer to run with it. ? Include NFIL?s Oregon badge on your school and/or library?s website, in your email signature, etc. Find the code here: http://www.librariesthriving.org/partnerships/2012-information-literacy-campaign [ORinfoLitBadge] ? Wear a button based on the badge or your own design (like, Ask Me About Information Literacy!). Ask staff, board members, etc. to wear the NFIL badge. For the daring types, wear the button outside of school/the library to promote awareness and discussions in the community. Can students serve as information literacy ambassadors and do the same thing, after some training from you? Combine Promotion with That for Banned Books Week & Banned Website Awareness Day Many of you will already be educating about Banned Books Week (September 30 ? October 6) and/or Banned Website Awareness Day (October 3) and can fold that week?s activities into what you do for Information Literacy Month. Wearing buttons? Wear two buttons, one for each campaign, during the first week of October. Creating a bulletin board for Info Lit Month? Save a corner to tie in Banned Books Week. Giving a lesson about BBW or BWAD? Discuss how the topics of censorship and filtering fall under information literacy. For example, in the AASL?s Standards for the 21st-Century Learner, there are many connections: ? Ethical behavior in the use of information must be taught. In this increasingly global world of information, students must be taught to seek diverse perspectives, gather and use information ethically, and use social tools responsibly and safely. ? 3.3.1 Solicit and respect diverse perspectives while searching for information, collaborating with others, and participating as a member of the community. ? 3.3.2 Respect the differing interests and experiences of others, and seek a variety of viewpoints. ? 3.3.7 Respect the principles of intellectual freedom. http://www.bannedbooksweek.org/ http://www.ala.org/advocacy/banned/bannedbooksweek http://www.ala.org/aasl/advocacy/bwad Free webinar about BWAD: http://www.ala.org/aasl/ecollab/upcoming#warrior Whether it?s something from this list or your own ideas, please take advantage of this grand opportunity to promote information literacy and what librarians do. Have a great weekend.

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.

Representatives from Perseus Books Group, Sterling Publishing, and Tuttle Publishing will treat webinar attendees to what's new in their lively lineup of cookbooks. Moderated by Adult Books editor Brad Hooper.

Customers are checking gadgets out from us, asking us for content that can be loaded on them, and at times just wishing that we could help them use them more effectively. This webinar will give a broad overview of personal electronics in libraries, focusing on iOS and Android based devices and their management, from both a user and staff perspective.

This presentation will look at factors leading to funding decisions about public libraries, with a specific focus on the role of interpersonal influence. While the tools and techniques we've been using in funding requests have become more sophisticated in recent years, new research shows they may be ineffective without the addition of the tactics of influence.

The Barrow Media Center is a site of participatory culture through elements such as student book budgets, collaborative projects that culminate in student product creation, opportunities for students to showcase their creations to others in a variety of ways, and students taking leadership in teaching one another how to use technology to create. This year, developing the participatory culture of the library is a specific goal that has been made public to all students, teachers, and families in the school and all members of the library have been invited to find their place in the library and make things happen. This webinar will explore participatory culture and how the library can be a space of participation.

Librarians and information professionals also need to communicate well and effectively tell their story. This webinar helps librarians and information professionals develop the necessary "talking points" to help them communicate their most important message and formulate an encapsulated version of their talking points to be able to take advantage of every window of opportunity, regardless of how brief it might be.

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.

The Collaborative Summer Library Program's (CSLP) Executive Board is asking for your help. They would like to get feedback on Upstart/Highsmith catalog items directly from staff at CSLP member libraries nationwide. Please take their survey to tell them directly what catalog items are working or not working for you, and what your needs are for incentives, books, and customization. Here is a link to their survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/CSLP_Incentive. The deadline to respond is Friday, October 19. Please note that this survey is different from the summer reading feedback survey Abbie Anderson, the OYAN Summer Reading Chair, will be sending out in a few weeks. Abbie's survey will give you the opportunity to provide feedback on the summer reading manuals, Oregon summer reading certificates, and Oregon summer reading sweepstakes and will be your opportunity to suggest upcoming summer reading themes, slogans, and artists. This survey is administered by CSLP directly and is only about Upstart/Highsmith catalog items. Sorry for any confusion and for bombarding you with surveys. We just learned CSLP was sending out their own survey on catalog items yesterday. Thanks, Katie 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 _____________________________________________________ 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.
