They highlight how the Gale statewide databases can be used to build curriculum and to support day-to-day instruction. The link to part 1 of their post is below. Look for part 2 next week: http://blog.gale.com/. Driving Electronic Content Discovery and Usage: Collaboration - Part 1 http://blog.gale.com/driving-electronic-content-discovery-and-usage-collaboration-part-1/ Here are a few key points: * database content supports day-to-day instruction. For example, because Common Core stresses close reading of informational text, I demonstrate how teachers can identify an article within Gale and add a bookmark link to it on an assignment sheet. * Classes in Oregon City are created through the Gale CLiC (Classrooms in Context) platform. (Other platforms would function well, too.) * This easily updatable digital curriculum format allows "one-stop shopping" for staff and students for content. * The scope and sequence of units are listed in the left column of the page with each topic having links to specific content including articles at various reading levels, video clips, podcasts, charts, graphs, images, etc. * The ability to scaffold information for classrooms needing a variety of reading levels, and different learning styles, is extremely helpful to both the students and teachers. As a "living, breathing" curriculum, content can easily be updated as information becomes available. * In addition to Gale articles, we add video clips from Learn360, our video streaming database, articles from our World Book electronic encyclopedia, and, where appropriate, information from other databases, such as CultureGrams and Issues and Controversies in US History.

Message-ID: <640435851FD7CB4AB3C4BE0D1963BA245EF49BDC@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local> After sending this email about library services for dyslexic patrons, I was invited to attend a workshop about dyslexia presented by Barbara Steinberg at Multnomah County Library (thank you!). Many of you know Barbara because she has presented 'Becoming Thinkers' about how children learn to read at an OLA Annual Conferences, CSD Workshop, and two Focus Institutes. This is the first in a series of three emails about dyslexia. Why should public libraries in Oregon learn more about dyslexia? * 5%-20% of school-age children in the U.S. have a reading disability-depending on definitions of the reading disabilities (American Academy of Pediatrics, 2011) * 80% of people with learning disabilities have dyslexia (American Academy of Pediatrics, 2011) * That is a lot of people; perhaps as many as 1 in 5 people have dyslexia! We will soon start learning how many people with dyslexia there are in Oregon specifically because two bills that were just passed into law by the Legislature this year. * Every student enrolled in public school in Oregon will be screened for dyslexia in kindergarten or first grade (Senate Bill 612) * Standards for approval of educator preparation programs must require that the program provide instruction on dyslexia and that the instruction be consistent with the knowledge and practice standards of an international organization on dyslexia (House Bill 2412) * Where will families with children recently diagnosed with dyslexia go for help? The library! Get more information about Oregon's new dyslexia legislation and statistics here: http://www.decodingdyslexiaor.org/legislation/ The second email will be about what dyslexia is and the third email will be about what libraries can do for people with dyslexia. Expect them in one and two weeks.

The following email was just sent to all public library directors. Please help your director by providing him or her with the summer reading statistics you were responsible for collecting (see attached working copy of the statistics survey). The online survey should only be filled out once per library, thus the link/URL was only provided to library directors. This survey does not include an opportunity to provide feedback, it is strictly for reporting statistics and ordering. You will have an opportunity to provide feedback on all things summer reading via the SRP feedback survey conducted and sent by K'Lyn Hann, 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 so be on the lookout for that survey from K'Lyn. Please let me know if you have any questions.

The deadline for completing this survey is Wednesday, September 30th. Please submit only one survey per library. You must fill out this survey in order to receive your 2016 summer reading manual and sweepstakes materials-including your free summer reading performer if that is offered next year to libraries serving fewer than 10,000 people to promote the summer reading sweepstakes. Before you take this survey you may want to fill out the attached working copy of the survey. If you do, then it should take you about 20 minutes to complete this survey and you can save your paper copy in your files so you have this information at your fingertips. Please keep in mind all libraries are at liberty to run their summer reading program in whatever way works best for their community. Therefore, your library may not collect all these statistics-that's okay, just skip the questions that don't apply. Please let me know if you have any questions or need help with the survey. Thank you, Katie Anderson PS: I will also send an announcement on the kids-lib and OYAN email lists to inform them that link to the summer reading statistics and ordering survey was emailed to you. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: <640435851FD7CB4AB3C4BE0D1963BA245EF5A866@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local> After sending this email about library services for dyslexic patrons, I was invited to attend a workshop about dyslexia presented by Barbara Steinberg at Multnomah County Library (thank you!). Many of you know Barbara because she has presented 'Becoming Thinkers' about how children learn to read at an OLA Annual Conferences, CSD Workshop, and two Focus Institutes. This is the second in a series of three emails about dyslexia. You can read the first email here. What do you need to know about dyslexia? * Dyslexia is a neurological processing problem (their brain is wired differently). It is not a problem with vision. People with dyslexia can see just fine, they have difficulty manipulating language. * Dyslexia is characterized by difficulties with word recognition, spelling, and decoding. These difficulties typically are the result of a deficit in the phonological component of language. * People with dyslexia are of average or above average intelligence, motivated to learn, and have had adequate reading/writing instruction yet they struggle with reading, writing, spelling, and/or math. * Dyslexia is on a continuum, it isn't an all-or-nothing phenomenon. Some people have mild dyslexia, others have severe dyslexia, and most are somewhere in between. * Dyslexia has a genetic component, it can run in families. It is not dependent on intelligence, socioeconomic status, parent's level of education, race/ethnicity, native language, or gender. * Dyslexia is a persistent problem-there is no cure, it never goes away. * The only treatment for dyslexia is expert teaching. Effective teaching can change brain function-i.e. people with dyslexia can learn to read via the way their brain is wired! * There are accommodations that help people with dyslexia read successfully-e.g. a wheelchair is an accommodation that helps people with mobility issues get from one place to another, but it doesn't treat whatever is causing the problem limiting their mobility. * The library can help patrons with dyslexia by providing some accommodations and referring them to organizations that specialize in providing treatment and/or resources for people with dyslexia. Learn more about dyslexia by watching this 4.34 minute video. It is really worth less than 5 minutes of your time! Experience dyslexia "Through Your Child's Eyes." The third email will be about what libraries can do for people with dyslexia. Expect it in one week.

I added a QR code to the cover picture to take students directly to the eBook in our collection. I added a second QR code for a book trailer. The regular spine information was added as well.

In just 5 minutes of browsing these overviews, you will understand the capability of the Google integration feature. Both can be found here: http://solutions.cengage.com/gale-training/materials/tip-sheets/. * Gale to Google Path ? Google Drive Integration * Gale to Google Path ? Google Classroom Integration Gale's original press release about Google integration in In Context databases noted this: "To improve student productivity, increase engagement and foster collaboration among all of its users, Gale will roll out similar apps, authentication and tools for other product families this fall, including Gale Virtual Reference Library (GVRL), InfoTrac, Kids InfoBits and more." I learned from a Gale rep that their estimated timeline for Google integration to be available in Kids InfoBits is mid-December.

Message-ID: <640435851FD7CB4AB3C4BE0D1963BA245EF62717@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local> After sending this email about library services for dyslexic patrons, I was invited to attend a workshop about dyslexia presented by Barbara Steinberg at Multnomah County Library (thank you!). Many of you know Barbara because she has presented 'Becoming Thinkers' about how children learn to read at an OLA Annual Conferences, CSD Workshop, and two Focus Institutes. This is the third in a series of three emails about dyslexia. If you missed them, you can read the first one here and second one here. What can libraries do to better serve patrons with dyslexia? Keep in mind different accommodations are going to work/not work for different people. * Provide accommodations: o Audio books o Ebooks with text to speech (Kindle and Audible's Whispersync for Voice is one example) o Ebooks with dyslexic font (OverDrive's OpenDyslexic is one example) o Colored overlays (Here is information about color overlays from National Reading Styles Institute, you can buy them from lots of vendors) o Know how to change the background and text colors on public access computers (Google Chrome's Olivia Reader is one example.) o Regular books published in dyslexic font (Amazon's Dyslexic-Friendly Editions is one example) o Specialty paper with raised lines or bright lines (Here is information about specialty papers from Understood.org, you can buy them from lots of vendors) o For literacy programs, remember it takes most people with dyslexia longer to read, longer to process what they read, many are poor spellers, and many have poor penmanship (Ideas: Use timed summer reading logs rather than number of books, don't ask someone you know or suspect has dyslexia open-ended questions about the reading during a program, forgive spelling errors, make it clear that listening to books is equivalent to eye-reading) * Refer patrons to organizations that specialize in providing treatment and/or resources for people with dyslexia: o Oregon Talking Book and Braille Library offers audio books for any Oregonian who cannot read or understand standard printed material as a result of a learning disability or brain injury. If your patron is interested, have them fill out the attached application and have it signed only by their medical doctor. Once signed just mail it to Talking Book (address is on the form) and we will begin their library service immediately. Service includes a free listening device that is checked-out to the patron indefinitely or they can download audio books to their own device. o Decoding Dyslexia Oregon (Barbara Steinberg recommends this be the first place you refer people with dyslexia-especially if they want more assistance than their school can provide, but they can't afford to pay a professional to provide expert teaching) o Understood.org's Parent Coaching and Learning at Home o IDA Provider Directory: Oregon to find International Dyslexia Association professional members who indicate they provide services to the dyslexic community (updated June 30, 2015) o Create a list of local professionals who provide services to people with dyslexia. You might start by contacting your local school, school district, or education service district. * Suggest online resources: o International Dyslexia Association o LD Online o National Center for Learning Disabilities o The Yale Center for Dyslexia & Creativity o Understood: For Learning & Attention Issues Please share any other accommodations relevant to libraries, referral recommendations, and resources you learn about!

Message-ID: <640435851FD7CB4AB3C4BE0D1963BA245EF62F03@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local> Posted on behalf of my colleague Arlene Weible For those looking for more non-book audio content, most of the Gale databases available from the Statewide Database Licensing Program offer a "Listen" button when articles and other types of content are displayed. [cid:image005.png at 01D0F15D.52E50E20] This feature plays an audio version of the text, but also offers features to highlight or increase the size of the text as it is being read. There is also a setting to adjust the reading speed, which might be handy for dyslexic readers. Just click on the gear/wheel icon within the button to set these features. To get non-English audio content, use the "Translate Article" feature in the Tools menu (usually on the right of the article display) to translate to your language of choice, then use the Listen button to listen to the translated text. In many Gale databases, the Tools menu also offers an option to download the audio file in MP3 format to play later. While not the same quality as a professionally-read audio book, this tool is a great way to get audio content that could be appropriate for homework assignments or other kinds of short recreational reading. For example, see how this tool works with an article from National Geographic: http://tinyurl.com/o5gh7jh If you have any other questions about using these features in the Gale databases, please contact me!

"Building Developmental Relationships With Youth," presented by Meghan Perry from the Institute for Youth Success: Participants will 1. Learn the characteristics of developmental relationships 2. Learn skills to promote positive interactions with youth 3. Practice practical application of these new skills. In the interactive training "Building Developmental Relationships with Youth, we'll explore how library staff can build more powerful relationships in their daily interactions with young people. We'll discuss Developmental Relationships as defined by the Search Institute, using process-focused encouragement rather than outcome-based praise, and using supportive communication skills.

I need your help to develop a list of amazing, compelling, memorable, fascinating Young Adult books published between November 1, 2014 and October 31, 2015. What have you read that rises to the top?

Since we now do a separate and awesome Graphic Raves, we will not consider graphic novels for Book Raves. I will be keeping track of your nominations and periodically sending out the working spreadsheet to (1) prompt additional nominations and (2) encourage you to read the nominated books. When you send a nomination, please include: TitleAuthorMonth and year of publicationGenreTagsA brief synopsis (not required, but encouraged!) Nominations will be accepted until Saturday, December 12.

Of course, this is reflected in our education and what it is published (in the media as a whole).? ? ?It?s almost impossible to find books written by Latino authors and illustrators (only 2% of what is printed is relevant to the Latino culture).? To that point, I will add that most of what is presented to our community as Latino culture is just regular consumer products with Spanish names, and in many cases the so call ?Latino heroes? do not even understand Spanish, or are some famous sports or Hollywood millionaires far removed from our Latino reality. ? Specifically on Latino culture publications: In most libraries in the United States the ?Spanish? section ?if there is any-- contains non Latino author books in Spanish. This will increase even more now that Penguin has bought Alfaguara. ? Librarians always tell you that they can?t buy your book because you are an ?Independent? writer. I thought that was the highest honor that an artist could aspire to. Not when it comes to having your books at the library. It seems that libraries in general are tied to a system where they can only buy products from the ?official? and ?traditional? industry, which is run of course by the big media empire. Sadly, our so called ?Latino culture?, image and products are established by this big machine; for them ?Latino culture? is just a commercial opportunity. ? To that respect, it will be interesting to ask our community what makes them Latinos, and if they ever read a book by a Latino author -- asking them if they read a book in Spanish will be perhaps expecting too much. BUT libraries and librarians are still key players in these difficult issues; they may not resolve them but they can keep them alive on the discussion table. Thank you REFORMA, I have faith in you.

As librarians working with the Latino and Spanish speaking community, we always have to be aware of our ?core beliefs? and don?t be afraid of making a point. Racism is embedded, permeated, in a minority of the planet?s population (yes, white people, including myself, even when I?m Latino). Racism is the tool of the privileged to perpetuate power. Of course, this is reflected in our education and what it is published (in the media as a whole). We are trying to select books for the Mock Pura Belpr? Award, and it?s like doing an archeological work. It?s almost impossible to find books written by Latino authors and illustrators (only 2% of what is printed is relevant to the Latino culture). Our presenter for the Mock Pura Belpr? Award in Oregon is going to touch this issue. A good space to have a discussion. Thank you so much for sharing the article in the blog, Mart?n Chair REFORMA Oregon Chapter.
