Why did the author choose this example? What's important here? Do I understand what I am reading? In contrast, struggling readers, and those with disabilities, are not likely to pose questions before, during, or after reading. These students, in particular, need direct instruction and practice in self-questioning. As students develop this skill, they will become better at reading comprehension and will build the skills they need to be college and career ready. The specific ELA Common Core State Standards related to self-questioning are: * CCSS.ELA-Literacy.CCRA.R.1 Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it; cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions drawn from the text. * CCSS.ELA-Literacy.CCRA.R.2 Determine central ideas or themes of a text and analyze their development; summarize the key supporting details and ideas. * CCSS.ELA-Literacy.CCRA.R.10 Read and comprehend complex literary and informational texts independently and proficiently. Read the rest of the article here: http://www.ldonline.org/article/Self-Questioning_to_Support_Reading_Comprehension What can library staff do? * Model self-questioning during storytimes so young children can start developing this strategy before they learn to read. * When parents ask questions about their struggling reader, say something like "I recently read an article about self-questioning which is one strategy for improving reading comprehension. Would you like me to print it for you?" * Model self-questioning during book clubs for children and teens. * During book clubs, talk with children and teens about the types of questions they can ask themselves while they are reading as a way to prepare for the next book club meeting. * Any other ideas? Please share! Thanks, Katie Katie Anderson, Library Support and 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 [Fizz Boom Read][Girlandcloud] Summer Reading 2014 at Oregon libraries!

I'm working on splitting my smallish (2000 item) YA section into genres, and one of the genres is, in essence "CHICK LIT." (It's light, it focuses as much or more on friendship than romance, it can sometimes be a little bit steamy, it's often humorous.)

I'd like us to do a revote on the manga titles (none of them got enough votes to move them forward) and the superhero titles. We have 6 spots left, and we need 3 manga titles and 3 superhero titles as per the Graphic Rave criteria requirements. Manga - choose your 3 favorite titles - simple enough. Superheroes - choose 3, but please keep in mind equal gender representation (aka let's have at least 1 female superhero make the cut) and publisher equality. So, read, read, read! Since I'm a little late getting the survey out (story of my life), you'll have until September 8, 2014 to get your votes in. Here's the link to the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/YJVJD8W And, stay tuned...I'll debut the 2014 Graphic Rave list right here for all you OYANers on September 9th! Thanks!

Do you need something snappier, and/or easier to fit on a label? "Friends and Feelings" is probably too literal and too obvious. How about "Boy/Girl/Friends"? That could cover "me and my friends and our girlfriends and boyfriends" for all the gender variants and relationship variants. Maybe? Or the perhaps already passe "BFs, GFs, BFFs".

Everyone that makes a suggestion gets their name put into a drawing, and someone wins a copy of a book from that category. The more ideas offered, the more times you are entered into the contest. Suggestions could be posted on a wall in the teen area, and teens could vote on their favorites. I posed your question (and some of the responses) to my 15 year old daughter, and she was quite engaged in the brainstorming process ("Friendship and RomCom," "Sweet and Sassy," "Spicy and Sassy" were some of her favorites). The added benefit of holding a "naming contest" is that it would put that section of books on the radar for some of the kids.

I'd like us to do a revote on the manga titles (none of them got enough votes to move them forward) and the superhero titles. We have 6 spots left, and we need 3 manga titles and 3 superhero titles as per the Graphic Rave criteria requirements. Manga - choose your 3 favorite titles - simple enough. Superheroes - choose 3, but please keep in mind equal gender representation (aka let's have at least 1 female superhero make the cut) and publisher equality. So, read, read, read! Since I'm a little late getting the survey out (story of my life), you'll have until September 8, 2014 to get your votes in.

If you would like to request this or other materials from the Oregon State Library please use your library's established interlibrary loan process (e.g. OCLC or ALA request form). Otherwise, send your full name, the name of your library, complete title information, shipping address, and a phone number to the document delivery department at library.request at state.or.us or (fax) 503-588-7119. Items will be checked out to your library, not to you personally, for 4 weeks (print materials) or 2 weeks (videos). Materials will be delivered via mail or Orbis Cascade Alliance Courier, and you may return them the same way. Normally a single copy is purchased and is loaned on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Chicago, IL: ALA Editions. Historical fiction helps young adults imagine the past through the lives and relationships of its protagonists, putting them at the center of fascinating times and places--and the new Common Core Standards allow for use of novels alongside textbooks for teaching history. Perfect for classroom use and YA readers' advisory, Crew's book highlights more than 150 titles of historical fiction published since 2000 that are appropriate for seventh to twelfth graders. Choosing award-winners as well as novels which have been well-reviewed in Booklist, The Horn Book, Multicultural Review, History Teach, Journal of American History, and other periodicals, this resource assists librarians and educators by * Spotlighting novels with a multiplicity of voices from different cultures, races, and ethnicities * Featuring both YA novels and novels written for adults that are appropriate for teens * Offering thorough annotations, with an examination of each novel's historical content * Providing discussion questions and online resources for classroom use that encourage students to think critically about the book and compare ideas and events in the story to actual history This book will help teachers of history as well as school and public librarians who work with youth to promote a more inclusive understanding of America's story through historical fiction.

Chicago, IL: ALA Editions. 978-0-8389-1192-1. The traditional "top down" approach to collection development definitely has its drawbacks: even after spending a good deal of time, energy, and resources, librarians are sometimes frustrated to find that their library's collection is not being used as they anticipated. But there's another strategy that's gaining momentum. This book gathers together the best practitioners in the emerging field of customer-based collection development, whose goal is to find out what library users need and want and manage collections accordingly. Speaking from firsthand experience, professionals from a variety of academic and public libraries * Offer strategies for planning and implementing a customer-based collection program * Summarize its potential impact on a library's budget * Discuss cataloging implications, and other day-to-day operational issues * Present guidelines for evaluating and marketing Customer-based collection development is one way for libraries to navigate the rapid changes in what users expect of libraries, and this new anthology is an important guide to this approach.

What about enticing your teens with a "Name This Section" contest? Everyone that makes a suggestion gets their name put into a drawing, and someone wins a copy of a book from that category. The more ideas offered, the more times you are entered into the contest. Suggestions could be posted on a wall in the teen area, and teens could vote on their favorites. I posed your question (and some of the responses) to my 15 year old daughter, and she was quite engaged in the brainstorming process ("Friendship and RomCom," "Sweet and Sassy," "Spicy and Sassy" were some of her favorites). The added benefit of holding a "naming contest" is that it would put that section of books on the radar for some of the kids.

Message-ID: <9CB9AFD2-2AE5-4A97-837C-A0A64E249D28 at smalltalklearning.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii What about enticing your teens with a "Name This Section" contest? Everyone that makes a suggestion gets their name put into a drawing, and someone wins a copy of a book from that category. The more ideas offered, the more times you are entered into the contest. Suggestions could be posted on a wall in the teen area, and teens could vote on their favorites. I posed your question (and some of the responses) to my 15 year old daughter, and she was quite engaged in the brainstorming process ("Friendship and RomCom," "Sweet and Sassy," "Spicy and Sassy" were some of her favorites). The added benefit of holding a "naming contest" is that it would put that section of books on the radar for some of the kids.

Need more Oregon Summer Reading Certificates? * Order hardcopies while supplies last by emailing ferol.weyand at state.or.us. * Download and print certificates from the State Library's summer reading page. The Summer Food Program reported at a meeting I attended last week that participation in the free summer lunch program is up 10% this year compared to participation last year at this time. This morning on Oregon Public Broadcasting's morning news there was a piece that did a great job describing the problem getting eligible hungry youth to participate in the summer food program. One of the key factors for getting youth to participate in the summer food program is providing activities and programs. Many summer food programs don't have the money or resources to provide activities or program, this is a gap that libraries can and are filling! As you know, youth must eat food to get the energy they need to read and learn. You can read the story or listen to it online. As of August 8th the Oregon College Savings Plan has received 4,654 Fuzz Boom Save! entries. In an effort to promote summer reading at public libraries and saving for college beyond the 15 sweepstakes winners, the Oregon College Savings Plan also sponsors a KATU media partnership and a summer reading performer at legally established public libraries serving fewer than 10,000. Libraries with winners receive $500 to spend on their next summer reading program. * Watch the State Librarian on the third AM Northwest spot. * View the KATU Fizz Boom Save webpage. * View the Oregon College Savings Plan's Fizz Boom Save webpage.

Half of my high school services teen moms and the other half is an early college program. When it comes to collecting fines for lost or damaged books, we are not allowed to hold grades, diplomas, or transcripts. In a comprehensive high school, you could restrict proms, ball games, yearbooks, etc. until the students pay for their lost books. We have no sports, no proms, no extra activities to speak of, so nothing to restrict. At the end of the year, I have a contest in which the first homerooms to clear all of their book fines and obligations get donuts. That doesn't help with some students. Have any of you found an effective way of encouraging students to pay? Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this.

If you don't get VOYA (Voices of Youth Advocates) currently, you can check it out via interlibrary loan from the State Library. VOYA also has some booklists on their website. The State Library hasn't received the August 2014 issue yet, but it looks like it's going to be a great issue about books in Spanish for young adults! Below is the info for checking out materials from the State Library. The following new title is available for interlibrary loan from the Oregon State Library. If you would like to request this or other materials from the Oregon State Library please use your library's established interlibrary loan process (e.g. OCLC or ALA request form). Otherwise, send your full name, the name of your library, complete title information, shipping address, and a phone number to the document delivery department at library.request at state.or.us or (fax) 503-588-7119. Items will be checked out to your library, not to you personally, for 4 weeks (print materials) or 2 weeks (videos). Materials will be delivered via mail or Orbis Cascade Alliance Courier, and you may return them the same way. Normally a single copy is purchased and is loaned on a first-come-first-serve basis. You may be put on a hold list for several weeks. Thank you for your patience. Most library staff are able to use their library's interlibrary loan service to borrow professional development material. However, if you do not have access to these services or are not currently affiliated with a library, please contact me (katie.anderson at state.or.us) to discuss alternative options for borrowing the material.

If you help students and want to use the OSLIS entry point for NGK to maintain some (potential) consistency for your K-12 patrons, you might want to read the announcement below. If you want a list of Gale logins for the districts and private schools you serve, or if you have other questions, please ask. - Jen [http://elementary.oslis.org/find-information/find-information/resolveuid/661bd3f329284afd9171b510c9164afa] [http://elementary.oslis.org/find-information/find-information/resolveuid/661bd3f329284afd9171b510c9164afa] [http://elementary.oslis.org/find-information/find-information/resolveuid/661bd3f329284afd9171b510c9164afa] [http://elementary.oslis.org/find-information/find-information/resolveuid/661bd3f329284afd9171b510c9164afa] [http://elementary.oslis.org/find-information/find-information/resolveuid/661bd3f329284afd9171b510c9164afa] [http://elementary.oslis.org/find-information/find-information/resolveuid/661bd3f329284afd9171b510c9164afa] Great news! We now have access to National Geographic Kids (NGK) on OSLIS. What is National Geographic Kids? National Geographic Kids is a Gale database aimed at K-8 students. It includes access to National Geographic Kids magazine from 2009 to the present (3 month embargo), 200 National Geographic Kids books, and 500 kid-friendly and downloadable images. As the Gale NGK webpage points out, the database is full of authoritative nonfiction content, aka informational text, that supports Common Core and other standards. National Geographic Kids Webpage: http://www.cengagesites.com/Literature/776/national-geographic-for-research-libraries/ng-kids/ How Do I Access NGK? All statewide databases - the Gale suite plus LearningExpress Library - are available to the Oregon K-12 community via the Find Information pages on OSLIS. NGK is featured on both the elementary and secondary skins (versions). Remember that we have access to more Gale databases than we can feature. To see the full list of Gale databases, or common menu, click on PowerSearch on any OSLIS Find Information page. When prompted for a login, use the same credentials you use to access other Gale databases. If you do not know your district's or private school's Gale login, please ask me for it. Elementary Students: http://elementary.oslis.org/find-information Elementary Educators: http://elementary.educator.oslis.org/find-information Secondary Students: http://secondary.oslis.org/find-information Secondary Educators: http://secondary.educator.oslis.org/find-information How Can I Learn To Use NGK? You have a couple of options for getting familiar with National Geographic Kids. There are two short tutorials, one called Basics and the other Searching. Also, there will be two National Geographic Kids webinars just for Oregon school library staff and educators. As time permits, the trainer will also explain how to use the new Kids InfoBits interface. The first webinar is on Friday, September 5th at 8:30 am Pacific, and the other is on September 29th at 3:30 pm Pacific. One session will be recorded and available for later viewing. I will post more details about the Oregon webinars later. Please promote the learning opportunities with pertinent teachers in your building or district. Tutorials: http://solutions.cengage.com/gale-training/on-demand-tutorials/#N Why Do We Now Have Access to NGK? On behalf of the Statewide Database Licensing Program and after an RFP and evaluation process with the Statewide Database Licensing Advisory Council, the State Library just renewed the Gale contract. As part of the renewal and at no extra cost, we now have access to National Geographic Kids, Business Insights: Essentials was upgraded to Business Insights: Global, and over 250 ebooks were added to Gale Virtual Reference Library. You may have read the article about the new Gale content in the August issue of Letter to Libraries Online (LTLO), the State Library's newsletter. This announcement is available on the OSLIST archive at http://oslis.org/oslissupport/announcements/2014/august-13-2014. If you have questions, please ask. Thanks, Jen P.S. You may have noticed that we are slowly getting the new graphics on OSLIS. When the update is complete, I will make an official announcement.

Ten of the challenged items were retained in the collection, one of those was reclassified from the teen to the adult section, and one was removed from the collection. I encourage you to incorporate this information and/or the titles of the challenged materials in your Banned Books Week displays and activities. Many people may not realize that book banning is not a thing from the past or that attempts to ban books are made every year right here in Oregon. This is a valuable educational opportunity to discuss the nature of the First Amendment-just as we have a right to access these materials in our libraries, we have a right to question whether they are appropriate to include in public collections. * Why might someone find these materials inappropriate? * Why should they remain in the collection? * Is labeling a book an effective way to inform people about content that may not be appropriate for everyone or is it a form of censorship? * What would you do if someone came up to you in your library and said they want you to remove a book from the collection? * Why is a collection development policy the most important line of defense when library materials are challenged? * Does your library have a policy or established procedure for patrons to challenge material? You can find resources that may help you answer these questions at: http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/intellectual.aspx About the OIFC Annual Report Every year the Oregon Intellectual Freedom Clearinghouse (OIFC) publishes a report on challenges to all types of library materials in Oregon. This report provides a landscape of censorship activity in Oregon, and is submitted to ALA's Office of Intellectual Freedom to be included in their report on censorship activity in the United States. The Annual Report is also used by librarians and teachers to help them develop activities for Banned Books Week. The Annual Report is based on challenge reports OIFC receives from all types of Oregon libraries (school, academic, and public). All local libraries are encouraged to report challenges to materials on a voluntary basis. OIFC does not publish names of people, organizations, libraries, and towns identified in challenge reports confidential. I will be compiling the 2015 Annual Report in August 2015. Please submit a separate challenge report for each formal challenge to library materials that occur at your library between July 1, 2014 and June 30, 2015. Reports may be submitted as they are resolved or all together in July 2015. This information is complied to assist Oregon libraries currently facing a challenge as well as providing information that will help you plan Banned Books Week activities. The Annual Report will tell you what books were challenged in Oregon libraries the previous year. The more libraries reporting challenges to OIFC the better OIFC can help you! Please take time to report challenges to OIFC. The accuracy of OIFC's Annual Report and Title Index to Challenges is directly related to the number of Oregon libraries reporting challenges. To report challenges to materials at your library: 1. Download and print the form at http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/intellectual.aspx#Report_Challenges_to_the_State_Library 2. Fill out a challenge report form for each item that went through your library's formal process for dealing with challenges to library material. 3. Mail your completed form(s) to: Oregon State Library c/o Oregon Intellectual Freedom Clearinghouse 250 Winter St. NE Salem, OR 97301 For more information about OIFC visit our website (http://cms.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/intellectual.aspx) or contact the coordinator of OIFC, Katie Anderson, 503-378-2528. PS: Attention School Librarians! Submit reports to OIFC on challenges after they have gone through your school's formal challenge to materials process and a decision to retain, relocate, or remove the title has been officially made. Submit reports on informal challenges to OASL's Intellectual Freedom Committee Chair, currently Leigh Ann Morlock (intellectualfreedom at oasl.olaweb.org).

Link and instructions are below... Thanks, Traci Traci Glass Teen Services Librarian Eugene Public Library 100 West 10th Avenue Eugene, Oregon 97401 541.682.8480 traci.l.glass at ci.eugene.or.us From: GLASS Traci L Sent: Friday, August 08, 2014 4:46 PM To: 'OYAN at listsmart.osl.state.or.us' (OYAN at listsmart.osl.state.or.us) Subject: Graphic Rave 2014 - Voting Round Two! Hi Everyone, At the Summer OYAN meeting, we determined 9 of the 15 titles needed for this year's Graphic Rave. I'd like us to do a revote on the manga titles (none of them got enough votes to move them forward) and the superhero titles. We have 6 spots left, and we need 3 manga titles and 3 superhero titles as per the Graphic Rave criteria requirements. Manga - choose your 3 favorite titles - simple enough. Superheroes - choose 3, but please keep in mind equal gender representation (aka let's have at least 1 female superhero make the cut) and publisher equality. So, read, read, read! Since I'm a little late getting the survey out (story of my life), you'll have until September 8, 2014 to get your votes in. Here's the link to the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/YJVJD8W And, stay tuned...I'll debut the 2014 Graphic Rave list right here for all you OYANers on September 9th! Thanks!
