EPS files, like the ones found on the CSLP DVD, can be scaled to any size in your docu?ment without losing resolution. These files can be manipulated in illustration programs such as Microsoft Paint or Adobe Illustrator. ? TIFF and JPEG files can be manipulated in any photo editing program such as Adobe Photoshop (another example?). Avoid increasing these images by more than 20% of their original size. If you need an image in a different format and you cannot convert the image on your own, please email your request to the CSLP at info at cslpreads.org. ? Download the State of Oregon seal from http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/youthsvcs/oregon.srp.certificate.aspx#Download___Print_Certificates, and use it in your design. ? When converting your design to a PDF, select a high quality print setting (in particular, images should be at a minimum of 300dpi). ? A good rule of thumb for double-checking the resolution or print quality of your design: Open your PDF in Acrobat, and zoom in at 400%. If the images and type still look smooth (not grainy or pixelated), your design should print nicely. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

[ORreads2014.PNG] I was glad that my colleague, Katie Anderson, recently clarified that Oregon Reads 2014 is for children and teens, too. As a reminder, Oregon Reads 2014 is a yearlong reading engagement program commemorating the centennial of Oregon?s most celebrated poet, William Stafford. Six books by or about Stafford are featured, including a recently-published picture book based on a Big Foot poem plus a short story about young love and a poetry collection for middle school and up. Many libraries across Oregon have events planned. What is your library or school doing to involve students in this statewide effort? Here are some ideas: Everyone Out Here Knows: A Big Foot Tale ? Read and discuss the book with students during library storytime. (Hey, folks, this doesn?t have to be difficult!) ;-) ? Literature tie-in => Use the story to kick off or extend a study about Oregon authors or about folklore legends and tall tales. ? Art tie-in => First read the book without showing the illustrations; have students create (draw, paint, computer generate) an illustration or two that depicts how they pictured scenes; work with an art teacher, if possible. ? Common Core tie-in => Pair the book with an informational text or two about Bigfoot; discuss or document the evidence that scientists use to question or refute BF?s existence versus that which Sasquatch spotters use to back up their sightings. The Osage Orange Tree ? Read and discuss the short story with students during library time. (See note after first bullet above.) ;-) ? Poetry tie-in => After hearing and independently reading the story, have students communicate the plot and spirit of the story through poems that they write; in other words, rewrite the story as a poem; could study some Stafford poems prior. ? Art tie-in => First read the book without showing the illustrations; have students create (draw, paint, computer generate) an illustration or two that depicts how they pictured scenes. Or, have students experiment with woodcut or linocut-esque illustrations after seeing those Dennis Cunningham created for the story; ideally, collaborate with an art teacher. ? Common Core tie-in => Before or after reading the story, have students do a bit of research about Osage orange trees; with what they learn about the tree (very hard wood, thorns, produces fruit but too bitter to eat, etc.), have students point to evidence to support their argument of what the tree might symbolize in the story. Ask Me: 100 Essential Poems ? Read and discuss several poems from the book. ? National Poetry Month tie-in => Before or after reading select poems in class, listen to audio clips of Stafford reading his poetry; discuss how that does or does not affect students? interpretation of the poems. ? National Poetry Month tie-in => Have students host a Stafford event for parents and the community in which they recite his poetry, give background information about the author and his work, and invite the audience to write down a poem (from any poet; have many poetry collections available) to share on Poem in Your Pocket Day (April 24th); team up with PTA? ? Social studies tie-in => Collaborate with a history teacher to relate Stafford?s stance as a conscientious objector to a study about war. Check out these resources for other ideas. Please encourage participation, whether in an activity you plan or one at an area library, museum, or bookstore. Middle and high school library staff, don?t forget that you can apply to receive a set of 10 copies of The Osage Orange Tree for your library. Applications are due March 7th.

I just got a great question that I thought many of you may be interested in knowing the answer: Q: For the Oregon Reads 2014, are there specific dates for the program? It there something selected for kids to read? A1: No, there aren?t specific dates?anytime throughout the year 2014. A2: Yes, there are youth titles! Everyone Out Here Knows is a picture book appropriate for children, The Osage Orange Tree is graphic literature appropriate for teens, and Ask Me is also appropriate for teens?perhaps good material for a poetry slam!

They have many communities - including a couple aimed at school librarians - and each regularly offers webinars. Anyone can participate in a webinar for free, and archived recordings are available to community members. Membership is free. I know there is interest among public library staff in supporting STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math), so I thought you might be interested in this upcoming webinar. It is aimed at K12 educators, but I suspect some of the ideas could work in public libraries. If interested, you can register here: http://www.instantpresenter.com/AccountManager/RegEv.aspx?PIID=EC55DA898448. You can view the calendar of other offerings from the EdWeb homepage: http://home.edweb.net/. Igniting the Spark! Build, Play, Learn - Fun STEM Activities for School Year & Summer Programs Wednesday, February 19, 2014 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM (Pacific Time) Presented by Laura Briggs, Technology Resource Teacher, Loudoun County Public Schools, Leesburg, Virginia In our community's next webinar, Technology Resource Teacher Laura Briggs will explore ideas and resources for incorporating STEM projects and hands-on activities into science and math while integrating mobile tools. Plans and implementation ideas will be shared for organizing a school-wide STEM program, STEM nights, and STEM summer camps. Find out how to combine discovery, exploration, and hands-on building activities using the design process, iPad apps, and virtual simulations along with a MakerSpace environment to enable students to collaborate and demonstrate creative thinking and problem solving. Join Laura on February 19 to learn how to spark student interest in science, technology, engineering and math with mobile learning resources.

The State Library and Reimagining Ready to Read task force are looking for feedback from the Oregon library community on a proposal for a public library youth services grant that would replace the existing Ready to Read Grant program. These are the only state funds public libraries in Oregon receive. The purpose of changing the grant program is to better align the distribution of state funds with state education initiatives and library youth services best practices. Please read the attached draft grant proposal, application, and report form carefully before taking this survey (https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/GrantProposalALL) to provide your feedback by Tuesday, March 4th. This is not a quick task and the survey must be completed in one session so please plan your time appropriately. I recommend reading the documents one day, thinking about them for a day or two, and then quickly reviewing the documents again before taking the survey another day. If you don't work in youth services or for a library that currently receives a Ready to Read Grant, then just skip the questions you don't feel you can answer. We would really like your feedback on how the new grant aligns with education initiatives and how the State Library may distribute state funds to public libraries. Here are a few additional documents that may be helpful: * The State Library's public library youth services best practices: http://orysbestpractices.wordpress.com/ * OLA's Children's Services Division Youth Services Guidelines: http://www.olaweb.org/assets/documents/csd_guidelines.pdf * OLA's Oregon Association of School Libraries' Oregon School Library Standards for information literacy: https://sites.google.com/site/oregonschoollibrarystandards/ * The Governor's 40-40-20 Education Goal: http://www.oregon.gov/gov/oeib/docs/nnousreport.pdf * The Oregon Education Investment Board's Equity Lens: http://www.ode.state.or.us/superintendent/priorities/final-equity-lens-draft-adopted.pdf * Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts and Literacy: http://www.ode.state.or.us/teachlearn/real/newspaper/Newspaper_Section.aspx?subjectcd=ELA Please contact me, my supervisor Susan Westin (susan.westin at state.or.us), or one of the task force members listed below if you need clarification on anything in the draft proposal, application, or report form before you feel you can provide feedback.

Programming for Children and Teens with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Chicago, IL: ALA Editions. Those who understand the unique sensitivities of young people with autism spectrum disorder, now the second most commonly diagnosed serious developmental disability, know that ordinary library programming guides are not up to the task of effectively serving these library users. Klipper has presented at conferences and trained librarians from around the country in autism awareness, and the grant-funded Sensory Storytime programming she developed at The Ferguson Library in Stamford, Connecticut is a model for reaching children with autism spectrum disorder. Her complete programming guide, ideal for audiences ranging from preschool through school-age children, teens, and families, * Provides background information on the disorder to help librarians understand how to program for this special audience * Features step-by-step programs from librarians across the country, adaptable for both public and school library settings * Suggests methods for securing funding and establishing partnerships with community organizations * Includes a list of additional resources that will prove valuable to librarians and parents/caregivers alike Klipper's deep knowledge and experience on the subject makes her guidance on serving these library users and their families invaluable.

(2013).Gateway to Reading: 250+ Author Games and Booktalks to Motivate Middle Readers. Santa Barbara, CA: Libraries Unlimited. Getting students to want to read is one of the greatest challenges facing middle school teachers and librarians. Determining which are the "right books" that can spark a child's mental awakening is also difficult. This book from prolific author Nancy Polette furnishes interesting and fun games to pique students' interest in junior novels that are worth reading-carefully selected titles that will contribute to their educational and emotional growth. Gateway to Reading: 250+ Author Games and Booktalks to Motivate Middle Readers is a powerful tool for luring middle-school students away from the distractions of 21st-century media and introducing them to junior or 'tween novels that they won't be able to put down. By presenting children with a challenge to engage their minds-racing to decode book titles, or using their creativity to come up with titles of their own, for example-students are naturally drawn towards reading these books from well-known children's authors.

Informed Transitions: Libraries Supporting the High School to College Transition. Santa Barbara, CA: Libraries Unlimited. Informed Transitions: Libraries Supporting the High School to College Transition identifies the ways in which libraries and librarians can work together and create valuable resources that help students transition successfully to college-despite the challenges of increasing demand and diminishing resources. The book is organized into three sections: background, expectations, and skills; conversations and collaborations; and programs and resources. Section 1 establishes a foundational understanding of the libraries' role in supporting college transitions. Section 2 shares model conversations that move this work forward, stressing its collaborative nature. The third section highlights some well-established programs and resources that effectively support high school to college transitions. Practical information is provided throughout, pinpointing what high school students need to know to smoothly transition to college, spotlighting the expectations of college professors, and discussing audience-specific methods of working with students at the high school and college levels.

Better Serving Teens Through School Library-Public Library Collaborations. Santa Barbara, CA: Libraries Unlimited. The current economic crisis has had a drastic impact on both public and school libraries. As budgets shrink, resources become scarcer, and the job of the librarian becomes harder. The conundrum of doing more with less challenges even the most seasoned professionals whose institutions face service cutbacks, disappointed patrons, and possible job eliminations or closures. This book asserts that a collaboration between school and public libraries can effectively serve the needs of two populations-teens and the community at large-while minimizing the cost to do so. Better Serving Teens through School Library-Public Library Collaborations offers thought-provoking advice and ideas for practical use in real-world libraries. The authors provide step-by-step guidance for those who wish to start, strengthen, or extend a partnership with colleagues at a sister library, covering topics ranging from teen advisory boards and collaborative programs to homework help and professional development. Veterans in the field, as well as beginners, can utilize the wealth of tools within-including worksheets, timelines, and checklists-to leverage the capabilities of other agencies tp fortify both their own and their institutions' value.

Please pardon the cross-posting. Ebooks, ebooks, ebooks. If people aren't talking about Common Core, they're talking about ebooks. Well, that and a few other things. Here's a friendly reminder that the Gale databases that you have access to via OSLIS are chock-full of ebooks. Yes siree, Bob. Chock-full. The obvious database is Gale Virtual Reference Library, known as GVRL, which is Gale's platform for delivering ebooks. As part of the statewide contract, we have over 30 reference ebooks in GVRL. Here are a few. (Click on the images to link to the table of contents. If prompted for a password, use oslis.) [Grzimek's Animal Life Encyclopedia, 2003] [Ancient Greece and Rome, 1998] [The Gale Encyclopedia of Alternative Medicine, 2009] [UXL Encyclopedia of Native American Tribes, 2008] [Immigration and Multiculturalism: Essential Primary Sources, 2006] Plus, and only via OSLIS, you have access to 5 additional titles that Oregon public and academic libraries do not. [Environmental Science Experiments, 2010] [Forensic Science Experiments, 2010] [UXL Encyclopedia of Biomes, 2008] [UXL Encyclopedia of Weather and Natural Disasters, 2008] [UXL Encyclopedia of World Mythology, 2009] Besides GVRL, ebook content is generously sprinkled throughout the Gale databases. The ebooks may not look like books, but don't judge them by their lack of covers. All the content is divided into articles and comes up in your searches. Want to know which databases have content from which ebooks? Check out the database title lists. The databases are listed in alphabetical order, and for each there is a spreadsheet that lists all of the periodicals titles and all of the reference books, when there are any of the latter, which is often. For example, Student Resources in Context has econtent from 140 reference books! A sampling of those titles includes Exploring Novels, Exploring Poetry, Encyclopedia of Endangered Species, Gale Encyclopedia of World History: War, Newsmakers, and UXL Science. http://solutions.cengage.com/Gale/Database-Title-Lists/ Need a refresher on how to use the databases? Besides playing around with them on your own, you can view a short tutorial, sign up for a free webinar, or watch an archived webinar. Or, contact me, and I'll point you in the right direction. http://solutions.cengage.com/gale-training/on-demand-tutorials/ http://solutions.cengage.com/gale-training/webinars/ http://solutions.cengage.com/gale-training/webinar/recorded/ One final thought. This is not a secret. Spread the word. Share the elove. :-) Thanks, Jen P.S. There are so many ways to write "ebook." There's ebook. eBook. E-book. Etc. I finally settled on ebook. For now.

From: Katie Anderson Sent: Tuesday, February 18, 2014 11:40 AM Subject: Provide feedback on draft proposal for grant to replace Ready to Read by March 4 Please excuse the cross-posting... The State Library and Reimagining Ready to Read task force are looking for feedback from the Oregon library community on a proposal for a public library youth services grant that would replace the existing Ready to Read Grant program. These are the only state funds public libraries in Oregon receive. The purpose of changing the grant program is to better align the distribution of state funds with state education initiatives and library youth services best practices. Please read the attached draft grant proposal, application, and report form carefully before taking this survey (https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/GrantProposalALL) to provide your feedback by Tuesday, March 4th. This is not a quick task and the survey must be completed in one session so please plan your time appropriately. I recommend reading the documents one day, thinking about them for a day or two, and then quickly reviewing the documents again before taking the survey another day. If you don't work in youth services or for a library that currently receives a Ready to Read Grant, then just skip the questions you don't feel you can answer. We would really like your feedback on how the new grant aligns with education initiatives and how the State Library may distribute state funds to public libraries. Here are a few additional documents that may be helpful: * The State Library's public library youth services best practices: http://orysbestpractices.wordpress.com/ * OLA's Children's Services Division Youth Services Guidelines: http://www.olaweb.org/assets/documents/csd_guidelines.pdf * OLA's Oregon Association of School Libraries' Oregon School Library Standards for information literacy: https://sites.google.com/site/oregonschoollibrarystandards/ * The Governor's 40-40-20 Education Goal: http://www.oregon.gov/gov/oeib/docs/nnousreport.pdf * The Oregon Education Investment Board's Equity Lens: http://www.ode.state.or.us/superintendent/priorities/final-equity-lens-draft-adopted.pdf * Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts and Literacy: http://www.ode.state.or.us/teachlearn/real/newspaper/Newspaper_Section.aspx?subjectcd=ELA Please contact me, my supervisor Susan Westin (susan.westin at state.or.us), or one of the task force members listed below if you need clarification on anything in the draft proposal, application, or report form before you feel you can provide feedback.
