"E-Prospecting for Your Nonprofit Organization" 2. Iowa Arts Council Grant Writing Workshop Postponed 3. E-Rate and the CIPA Appeal 4. Gates Training ­ C.E. Credits 1. E-Prospecting - Sioux City Public Library is sponsoring a workshop, "e-Prospecting for Your Nonprofit Organization," on June 13, 2003. This workshop will teach you how to unearth a wealth of grants nonprofits, including libraries, can apply for. The presenter will be Erika Wittlieb, Coordinator of Cooperating Collections at the Foundation Center in New York City. The workshop is free. It will be held from 9:30-11:30 a.m. at the Wilbur Aalfs (Main) Library, 529 Pierce Street in Sioux City. It will include an introduction to the Foundation Center; a demonstration of their online database; how to use advanced search strategies, and more. Call 255-2933 x 221 for details. Registration is requested by June 11th. Please include organization name, number attending, and a contact number. E-mail registration will be accepted at the Main Library Reference Desk: questions@siouxcitylibrary.org. Free access to The Foundation Directory Online will soon be available from selected computer workstations at the Wilbur Aalfs (Main) Library. 2. Iowa Arts Council Grant Writing Workshop - The State Library of Iowa has cancelled its Iowa Arts Council grant-writing workshop scheduled for June 30th due to scheduling conflicts. The workshop will be rescheduled at a later date in the fall. Further information about the workshop will follow as it becomes available. 3. E-Rate/CIPA - Last year the filtering requirement of the Children's Internet Protection Act was struck down for public libraries. In the wake of that decision, an appeal was filed. The Supreme Court will reach its decision on the appeal near the end of June. If CIPA is fully upheld, filtering software would be required for libraries receiving discounts on Internet bills (not on phone bills.) If CIPA is upheld, it would also complicate the Form 486 process. A new form Form 486 would need to be designed. So rather than file the current Form 486 and risk having to refile a new one later, Chris plans to hold off on filling out the form for libraries asking for Internet discounts.* She will begin by filling out forms for libraries asking solely for phone discounts. Then she'll file for those seeking Internet discounts after the decision comes down. Those of you also asking for Internet discounts may want to start thinking about what your Board would decide if filtering software is required. With the "Reinvention" legislation, library budgets will be considerably tighter in the future. So, while we are in a waiting pattern, you may want to give that some thought. 4. Gates computer training has begun. As the Gates trainers sweep across Iowa, they do not adhere to strict LSA borders, so some libraries are being swept up in what we might think of as "Central" and "Southwest" training. Please rest assured that you'll receive continuing education credit for your attendance, no matter where you attend training. If you're trained at a Northwest library your C.E. attendance certificate will come from Northwest Library Service Area. If you're trained in another LSA's territory, you'll receive your attendance certificate from that LSA. Directors, please keep track of which of your staff members attend which training sessions. We'll be asking you to tell us "who went where when." This info is needed to help us calculate the number of C.E. credits each trainee earns. There are different training scenarios and modules depending on the number of computers each library receives. So there will be different tallies of continuing education credit. * NOTE: Unlike Cris Ken will be filing the Form 486 immediately upon receipt of the FCDL (Funding Commitment Decision Letter).  If I have to do a second for CIPA – so be it. ANNUAL SURVEY  The survey is due 10/31/03. An Annual Survey packet has been mailed to every public library.  All documents related to the survey are on the State Library web site, http://www.silo.lib.ia.us. Click on For and About Iowa Libraries, then Annual Survey. The FY2003 Annual Survey will be available 7/1/03 in electronic format with Web Collect. There is a link to Web Collect on the Annual Survey page. All libraries with Internet access are required to complete the survey using Web Collect. The Friends of the Aplington Library will be hosting a huge book sale this Friday, June 6 from 1 - 5:30  and on Sat., June 7 from 8:00 a.m.- 1:00 p.m. If you or your patrons are interested please come.

Satia Orange ALA staff liaison to REFORMA >>> g-gamboa@neiu.edu 06/02/03 01:06AM >>> > One excellent series in Spanish is by Alfaguara Infantil, the "Gregorio" series by Emma Romeu. There are 4 books. The first is Gregorio y el Mar and tells of 10 year old Gregorio Caballero, from the Canary islands, who is a sailor who dreams of travelling to Cuba and Mexico. In his travels he meets Ernest Hemingway. Eventually, in real life, Gregorio is Hemingway's inspiration in The Old Man and the Sea. The books include mystery themes and a lot of valuable cultural and geographic references. Gregorio y El Mar has been Alfaguara's top-selling YA book. Another top-seller, though not as literary "rich" are the Professor Zipper series also from Alfaguara. (I don't have the author right now) Reportedly the kids in Mexico love them. Profesor Zipper y su Guitarra Electrica follws a teen rock band that flies around in aprivate jet. You may want to check out others form Alfaguara's "a partir de 10 o 12 años" series. I believe Santillana is the US distributor fro Alfaguara. -- Gina Gamboa Director Bilingual Programs Chicago Teachers' Center 770 N Halsted Chicago IL 60622 312-733-7330 ext 486 URL for REFORMANET info page: http://lmri.ucsb.edu/mailman/listinfo/reformanet URL for REFORMA web page: http://www.reforma.org/ CHANGES: Updates – Addresses & such - Our new Denver Library Address is 100 Washington St. Everything else stays the same including the telephone and fax. Our new e-mail address is: denverlibrary@mchsi.com We are open but not quite up to speed. Van delivery - Summer AEA 7 - Regular delivery ends June 2 & 3. Summer delivery begins June 10 & 11 lasting through August 5 & 6. AEA 1 -Van delivery over for the summer AEA 1 does not have delivery during the summer when school is not in session Items will be accepted for delivery to AEA 1 beginning August 11 & 12 CONSORTIA: We are getting a number of replies to appeals, very few of them positive.  We also have been getting "bill backs" from one phone company with the note "that a Form 486 was not filled" we are attempting to trace down the problem on this, since everyone is on the same Form 486 except a few late replies and such, there should be no phone company specific denials. NOTE: The discounts/BEAR checks received from your telephone company and/or ISP must NOT be computed in your budget - use the actual cost of the service not the discounted cost.  AND the discount and/or BEAR checks MUST go back into your library budget, IF I find out that the library is not getting the direct benefit from the program (and let me be VERY clear on this) THE CONSORTIA WILL NOT DO THE LIBRARY E-RATE.  NEILSA gets NO support for doing the Consortia, it is done specifically as a service to the libraries in order for the library to get additional, or to stretch the current, funding.  This is one thing that I check very carefully as I get your reports in each year.  The e-rate is a lot of work which I enjoy doing for the libraries, I would most decidedly not enjoy doing e-rate to enrich your (wonderful) city's general fund.  If the city wishes to have its general fund enriched by your e-rate funds it can PAY the going rate ($75.00/hour) or do it themselves - I know it is not PC but ... GATES FOUNDATION GRANTS COMPUTERS: Word from the field: "...the more set up they (Gates Trainers) can have done before the trainer gets there, the more time the trainer will have to work with them (you) on the computer and applications. Even if they don't feel comfortable doing connections at all, at least have the computers out of the boxes. (The trainers are perfectly happy to do all the install, if that's how it works out, and libraries certainly don't want to pay someone to set up the computers, but the libraries can do as much as they are comfortable doing.)

(This is optional and in addition to the training being provided in Iowa.) Public Access Computing Class (Combo Class) June 23-25, 2003 (registration deadline of June 9) OR July 28-31, 2003 (registration deadline of July 11) OR September 22-25, 2003 (registration deadline of September 5) The goal of the Public Access Computing class is to help participants enhance their libraries' public access computing programs. The class is primarily designed for grant-recipients who hold both technology training and systems administration responsibilities. Participants engage in training-related topics and in systems administration topics for roughly equal amounts of time during the four-day class. Elective sessions are also offered which provide attendees the option of devoting more time to one focus than the other. The US Library Program grant covers the cost of the training sessions, class materials, lunch on class days, and a Welcome Dinner on Sunday prior to the class week. Each participant is responsible for his or her own travel accommodations, hotel, and other food expenses.

The "Reinvention Bill" (SF 453) that recently passed by the Iowa General Assembly and was signed into law by Governor Vilsack will affect our community in many ways, including services provided by the ( library name  ) Public Library. We have been notified by (the mayor, city council) that the library's budget will be reduced. How will this affect your library?  Here are some services and programs that may have to be cut: (Do a bulleted list of personnel, services, programs, hours, etc., that will be cut.) The public library has always striven to provide high quality service to our customers.  These cuts will hinder those efforts but like other areas in city government facing budget reductions, we will continue to serve you to the best of our ability.  The library board and staff are looking carefully at services and priorities as we make decisions about how we can best serve you within these new budget constraints.  We want you to know what is happening but we would also like to have you tell us what you think. Please stop in the library or tell a library Board member about your concerns for your library. Your city & Library will continue to do our very best to serve you as before but we wanted you to know that some changes will be coming.  We will do our best to continue to serve you @ your library. Remember what Anne Herbert said:  Libraries will get you through times of no money better than money will ever get you through times of no libraries. ### Court Strikes Down Video Games Regulation In a decision released today, a three judge panel of the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals has reversed Judge Limbaugh's opinion in IDSA v. St. Louis County and ruled unconstitutional the county's restriction on minor's access to videogames with violent content. There are now two recent opinions from the 8th and 7th Circuits (the Indianapolis case, AAMA v. Kendrick - http://mediacoalition.org/legal/aama/index.htm) affirming the principles that videogames are protected speech and that governments may not regulate or bar access to speech with violent content, even as to minors. The text of the decision can be found here: http://www.ca8.uscourts.gov/opndir/03/06/023010P.pdf ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ >From the Washington Post, June 3, 2003 To view the entire article, go to http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A8593-2003Jun3.html?referrer=e mailarticle Court Strikes Down Video Games Regulation By CHERYL WITTENAUER ST. LOUIS - A federal appeals court ruled Tuesday that a St. Louis County law limiting children's access to violent or sexually explicit video games was unconstitutional. A three-judge panel of the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis overturned a ruling issued last year that supported the ordinance. The ordinance, passed by the St. Louis County Council in 2000, would require children under 17 to have parental consent before they can buy violent or sexually explicit video games or play similar arcade games. The ordinance was never implemented pending the outcome of the lawsuit. In April 2002, U.S. District Judge Stephen Limbaugh rejected a request by a video game industry group to invalidate the ordinance. But the appeals court ruled there was no justification for disqualifying video games from the right to free speech simply because they are considered interactive. "Whether we believe the advent of violent video games adds anything to value of society is irrelevant; guided by the first amendment, we are obliged to recognize that 'they are as much entitled to the protection of free speech as the best of literature,'" Judge Morris S. Arnold wrote. Arnold noted that obscenity is one of the few categories of speech historically unprotected by the first amendment. "Simply put, depictions of violence cannot fall within the legal definition of obscenity for either minors or adults," he wrote. "We're disappointed," St. Louis County Counselor Patricia Redington said. "We thought Judge Limbaugh hit the nail on the head." She didn't know whether the county would appeal the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court. David Overfelt, president of the Missouri Retailers Association, applauded the decision. He said his industry group joined the lawsuit because it believed the ordinance would have forced retail clerks to make judgment calls on selling and renting to children. A spokeswoman for the plaintiff in the lawsuit, the Washington-based Interactive Digital Software Association, did not immediately return a phone call seeking comment. In his 2002 ruling, Limbaugh said the county had compelling interests to protect the physical and emotional health of its children and assist parents as guardians of their children's well-being. St. Louis County modeled its ordinance after one in Indianapolis, that was invalidated by a federal appeals court in Chicago. jkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjk Free People Read Freely .
