From marykay.dahlgreen at state.or.us Thu Dec 6 16:32:38 2012 From: marykay.dahlgreen at state.or.us (MaryKay Dahlgreen) Date: Fri, 7 Dec 2012 00:32:38 +0000 Subject: [PL-Directors] Governor's Recommended Budget and Ready to Read Message-ID: Hello all- The Governor's Recommended Budget was released last Friday and it contains good news for the Ready to Read Grant program. We requested and he is recommending to the Legislature that the allocation for 2013-2014 be increased to include 15 - 17 year olds. We requested this in support of the Governor's 40-40-20 goal and the OregonReads initiative. I don't have exact numbers just yet, our business manager is working on getting me a precise number. When we get that we will send out a chart of anticipated Ready to Read grants in 2013-14. Now, remember that this budget goes through the Legislative process in 2013 before the budget is approved. So, don't bet the farm on this :) The other caveat is that the State Library has been instructed to re-organize and the second year of our 13-15 budget has not been allocated pending that re-organization. For a bit more detail see my blog post: https://snippetsfromthestatelibrarian.wordpress.com/ If you have questions or concerns please let me know. Thanks, MaryKay MaryKay Dahlgreen State Librarian Oregon State Library marykay.dahlgreen at state.or.us 503-378-4367 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Funded by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) to ALA, "StoryCorps @ your library" seeks to bring StoryCorps' popular interview methods to libraries while developing a replicable model of oral history programming. Program guidelines and the online application are available at www.programminglibrarian.org/storycorps. The deadline for applications is January 18. In February, 10 pilot sites will be selected to receive: * A $2,500 stipend for project-related expenses; * A toolkit of written and Web-based customizable program and promotional support materials; * A StoryKit (a customized set of professional recording equipment) to use to record on-site interviews during the grant period and retain for future use after the close of the pilot project; * A two-day in-person training by StoryCorps staff at the library site to orient volunteers and library staff to interview collection, digital recording techniques and archiving interviews in StoryCorps' proprietary database. Building on earlier planning work supported by IMLS, "StoryCorps @ your library," will be piloted at 10 public libraries selected from across the country. Local libraries will retain copies of all interviews and preservation copies will also be deposited with the Library of Congress. For more information, visit www.programminglibrarian.org/storycorps. With questions, contact the ALA Public Programs Office at publicprograms at ala.org. ****************************** ALA Public Programs Office www.ala.org/publicprograms publicprograms at ala.org Are you a Programming Librarian? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

As always, please take a few minutes to check your library's information for accuracy. We have fixed a number of things, but please take a close look at your data for: other operating expenditures, circulation, programming, e-items, and reference. Circulation and downloadables Note that there are new tabs on the bottom for the break-out of circulation, as well as details of downloadable or e-item ownership. Please check that your library's circulation includes Library2Go usage of your patrons. If you are with a federation or cooperative that purchased downloadable items from Overdrive in excess of the statewide contract, please check the e-items tab's local/cooperative holdings columns for all your libraries. Databases Note that Freegal should be counted as a database and downloads are not circulation, and tutor.com is not counted as it's a service. Freading should be counted as a database. Programs Do not count meetings of advisory groups under programs. Also, passive programs where people sign up, turn in a reading log and get a certificate do not fit the definition of programs and should not be counted. Reference Remember that reference includes teaching computer use one on one, as well as reader's advisory. If its less than 300 a year, it's probably a substantial underestimate. If you need to make changes, please let me know between January 3 and January 11 and I can open your survey up for you. If you would like a customized spreadsheet, or would like to talk about data, contact me at 503-378-5027 or email ann.reed at state.or.us> Thank you to everyone for contributing your data!
