Friday
Notes 2. An
on-line
resource for NEILSA Librarians
Key
to colors:
New stuff will be in
plain old black, as will section headings usually bold or Italic.
Old stuff will be in
purple.
Stuff I'm harping on will be
in Red.
Other colors will be for making some kind of a point.
Maroon
& Bold are for my editorial comments/ jokes & "stuff".
Van Service: AEA 267
- August 16 start up for fall.
AEA 1 (Keystone) Aug 17 fall delivery starts.
NEILSA
first run to Keystone will be Today -- Friday Aug. 13.
REMINDER:
IF you use the van service for an ILL you may NOT charge for the ILL
materials.
Downside? Any
library found to be charging for ILL transported
via van will lose van service privileges.
OK I hear you: Several people
have asked:
At 01:29 PM
8/6/2004, you wrote:
Your (Ken's) note about ILL and charging.
Does your note mean you cannot charge for
postage then use the van postage free at NEILSA expense?
Yes.
Does it mean you cannot charge for
ILL?
No. But I think it is a bad
precedent, most likely for reasons that you already know. If you
do decide to charge for ILL, other than van, you have a bit of a
bookkeeping problem to keep the accounts seperated and document that
you have not charged for ILL that went by the van service.
Does it apply to both?
Nope, only van service.
People
drive here from places that do charge so we know some libraries charge
for one or the other.
Yes, so do the AEA and school
people, who often complain to us (NEILSA) about what they thought was a
"free" service. When I get those calls I take it as an
oppertunity to explanin Open Access and encourge the patron to take an
active part in getting the program fully funded, occasionally it is
also a chance to explain library funding, or lack thereof.
AEA has told us that if libraries charge for van use we (NEILSA) will
lose the van service. We are concerned.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
There is a new voice at NEILSA; meet Susan:
Susan Macken is a graduate of the University
of Northern Iowa. She majored in
history and minored in Library Science.
Susan received her secondary teaching certificate in history and as a
School Library Media Specialist. She is a member of the educational honor
society, Kappa Delta Pi.
After graduation, Susan accepted a position at Waverly
Public Library where she worked in the adult services area and helped convert
the card catalog system to a computerized system. After working at WPL for one
year, Susan accepted a position at Wapsie
Valley High School
as the school media specialist. She joined the Iowa Educational Media
Association. After five years, Susan’s position was eliminated due to budget
cuts.
Susan accepted a part-time position with Waverly Public
Library where she worked circulation, reference, inter-library loan, and
cataloging. On the days she was not at the library, Susan was able to accept
substitute teaching jobs. Her most interesting sub-job was teaching all 8
grades at a local Amish school (complete with out-house!). Susan has maintained
her Level 5 Public Library Certification. Susan was at WPL for 6 years and
decided to accept a full-time position with NEILSA. Its hard to leave good
companions and an enjoyable job, but she looks forward to meeting new people
and learn new aspects of librarianship.
At home, Susan and her husband, Jerry, live on an acreage
where they had milked Holstein dairy cows. Children,
Elizabeth (16) and Jonathan (13), help populate the place with numerous pets
and 4-H projects and keep their parents running to numerous exta-curricular
activities. As a family, we enjoy attending our Karate class, kayaking,
camping, and traveling.
Enrich
Iowa Letter of Agreement for FY 2005
With the due date just 7 days away [Aug 20
postmark], several NEILSA public libraries have not yet returned the Enrich
Iowa Letter of Agreement for FY 2005. The agreement was mailed to every public library and is also on
the web at:

EYE-OPENER: (unedited)
Good Morning! This
time in EYE-OPENER:
1) ILA Conference
Commercials
2) State Library
Commission Approves New Standards
3) Lakeside
Learning Motel Rooms
4) Meetings and
Events This Week
1) ILA Conference
Commercials: In the third installment of "ILA Conference Commercials," here's a
look at both educational and entertainment events on Wednesday of conference
week (October 13-15 in Sioux City)
Note the term "full
conference" refers to Thursday and Friday sessions. But remember the kick-off
is actually Tuesday night (Oct. 12th) with "Puttin' On The
Glitz," offering sandwiches and sodas at the downtown Wilbur Aalfs
Library, followed by a tour of Sioux City's historic Orpheum
Theater.
Wednesday's
education sessions are referred to
as "pre-conferences." This year, there
are 5 to choose from, all running
from 10:00AM--3:00PM. Note there are separate registration fees to attend the
pre-conferences. For full details, refer to the July issue of THE CATALYST or
the ILA website at www.iowalibraryassociation.org --
or contact NWILS for further information. Here's a look:
- First
Amendment Warriors {David Ferree: Ames Public Library Trustee and Barbara
Mack: Iowa State University Professor}
- Along the River's Edge: Discover
Historic Sioux City {tour of Sioux City historical sites, including the new
Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center}
- Pay Equity {Paula Singer: President of the Singer
Group, Baltimore MD}
- Getting Organized for the Information Technologist {Dreama
Deskins: Deskins Consulting Group, Boone IA}
- Puppetry Made Easy in the Storytime Room {Dr. Sue
Unger: Educator and Founder of M.S.
Creations, Bolivar MO}
Conference goers
always look forward to the Grand Opening of the Exhibits. It's another
Wednesday event, from 3:30PM--6:30PM at the Convention Center. Take advantage
of this prime time to tour the exhibits while sampling wonderful hors
d'oeuvres. Then join us in the newly renovated Martin Ballroom, an easy
stroll from the Convention Center and the Plaza Hotel via the skywalk. There,
you'll enjoy an assortment of delectable desserts, along with wine, beer, and
coffee brought to you by Leo A. Daly Architects, INC. And for your
after-dinner-dancing pleasure, THE EMBERS, "Siouxland's Favorite Dance Band,"
will perform in the Martin Ballroom from 7:00--10:00PM. A full day--and a fun
evening--in store for Wednesday of conference week. Don't miss it:-)
2) State Library Commission
Approves New Standards: At its August 3 meeting, the Iowa Commission of
Libraries approved the 4th edition of In Service to Iowa: Public Library
Measures of Quality. The new standards go into effect October 1,
2004. A copy of the new standards booklet will be mailed to public libraries as
soon as they are printed; the goal is early September. In the meantime, the
entire text is available on the State Library's website: www.silo.lib.ia.us From the opening page,
click on "FOR AND ABOUT IOWA LIBRARIES" and then click on "ACCREDITATION AND
STANDARDS."
Just last month, the
State Library and the Standards Advisory Task Force sponsored two information
sessions over the ICN highlighting some of the changes between the 1997 edition
and today's edition. If you missed attending, you can now borrow a videotape of
those ICN sessions from the State Library.
The voluntary Accreditation and Standards
Program encourages the ongoing development of high quality library services in
Iowa. Out of 543 public libraries in the state, 525 (96.6%) are currently
participating in the standards program. There are currently 266 accredited
public libraries. As you know, the number of standards a library is able
to meet becomes the basis of receiving DIRECT STATE AID. To be funded in Tier 1, public libraries must meet 16 of
the standards. To be funded in Tier 2, libraries must meet another
12 standards. And to be funded in Tier 3, libraries must be fully
accredited.
For many
years, NWILS has had a board training program available called "RAISING OUR
STANDARDS." In light of these new requirements, if you'd like to schedule this
program at your local library--or even better for all the libraries in your
county--it's available for the asking. Just email me or call to schedule; the
earliest opportunity on the calendar is November. In the meantime, the State
Library's website explains the implementation timeframe for the new
standards--and for the next round of accreditation applications. Visit www.silo.lib.ia.us or contact Gerry Rowland
at the State Library (800-248-4483 / gerry.rowland@lib.state.ia.us )
3) Lakeside
Learning Motel Rooms: In light of other workshop cancellations recently,
we're delighted that registrations for this year's LAKESIDE LEARNING are already
very brisk! LAKESIDE LEARNING 2004 takes place September 21--22 at Buena Vista
University in Storm Lake. The workshop on Day 1 is called "I Dream of
Genealogy." The nighttime program is called "Dinner and a Movie" featuring a
video titled "Solving Difficult Situations;" a roundtable discussion follows.
And Day 2 is the every popular "Town Meeting" with the State Library road
crew! See NWILS website for all details and online registration: http://www.nwils.lib.ia.us/class.html
Each year, a
number of people opt to stay overnight in Storm Lake for this 2-day event.
NWILS has booked a block of rooms at the Super 8 in Storm Lake. There are 10
rooms in the block, with 2 smoking and 8 non-smoking. All rooms have 2
full-size beds and cost $49.00 plus tax. State tax can be waived by bringing
your city's (or library's) tax-exempt number with you. However, the hotel/motel
tax applies regardless. Please email Christine if you'd like to reserve one of
these rooms. Super 8 needs us to fax them a listing of all the names (including
who is rooming with whom) by September 14th. Think about it and let us know as
soon as possible. And thanks for your continued interest in LAKESIDE
LEARNING!
4) Meetings and
Events This Week: A brand new workshop takes place this week. The Pathfinder
Project workshops are scheduled for tomorrow August 10th here in Sioux City at
Western Hills AEA 12 and again on Thursday August 12th at Manson High School.
Both days, registration is at 9:00AM, with the workshop running from
9:30--12:30. This class is worth 3 c.e. credits, with more in the offing if you
choose to do homework:-) A reminder of what to bring with you: a pathfinder
topic idea to work on, your FirstSearch account authorization and password, and
your EBSCO account login and password.
See you in Sioux City and
Manson this week...thanks for reading!

Just for the fun of it
Delays, Dismay For Hotmail And Google - cliped editorial
Last week ended with two delays that are likely to show up
in the news again before too long. First, let's talk about Hotmail.
Back in July, there was an announcement that Hotmail users would see a
bump in their storage capacity. Guess what? They're still waiting.
This all began mid-spring when Google's Gmail beta offered
users 1GB of storage. Yahoo responded with 100MB, and Hotmail announced
250MB. The fact Redmond can't muster up 250MB is puzzling, but
admittedly they've had their hands full with patching IE, the delays to
XP Service Pack 2 (that hit Friday), and Longhorn -- let's not
speculate about when that will arrive. At least Ballmer's brigade is
consistent: they're always late.
The other delay had more than just e-mail users fretting: the Google IPO. September is the latest target, but that's
not set in stone. The "official" reasons -- administrative delays, investor skepticism, and violations of federal
securities laws -- don't inspire confidence.
Unless you've had a news embargo going for the last year,
you know about the Google IPO. The next Netscape, the next VA Linux,
the next…well you get the idea. This IPO has more riding on it that
just Silicon Valley paper millionaires, it's evolved into the tea leafs
for a tech resurgence. I'm by no means the first to say it, but that's
too much for even Google's broad shoulders to carry.
Nonetheless, Google's offering is going to be a bellwether,
an indicator, a divining rod whether we like it our not. That I'd
rather gripe about where those 250MB are than lament the disappearance
of a $36 billion IPO is
certain. Stay tuned.

"I have produced an 8 1/2
by 11 Open Access poster. ...the poster is in PDF format."
"We noted that Open Access is a state-funded program (albeit
under-funded), and there is a line about returning borrowed items to
your own library or any participating library. Given recent
Iowalib discussions, this may give you an opportunity to educate people
about how Open Access works, and gently tell them that they can take
books back to the library they borrowed them from if they are headed
there anyway."
OR you could
encourage the people to contact their legislator(s) and encourage
the full
funding of this program that has a DIRECT benefit to Iowans.
A new bookmark for Open
Access is now available at http://www.silo.lib.ia.us - look under News and
Announcements. These print both sides.
Also, check out the new
bookmark for HealthInfoIowa. This is an excellent source
for online consumer health information. Students will be heading
back to school soon, so you may want to tell them about this web site
when they begin doing research for school projects and papers. The
HealthInfoIowa bookmark is one sided.

CE: {That
would be classes with credits toward recertification.}
NEILSA provides and/or teaches continuing
education classes on topics that are specific to the needs of the
librarians AND that are not offered elsewhere. For example: while
we certainly have the expertise to teach a class on completing and
filing the SLD e-rate forms, we have no intention of doing a class on
the subject. Why? Because: 1. Pamela Pfitzenmaier, Ph.D.
Director, Educational Telecommunications, Iowa Public Television
teaches a fine series of ICN classes on the topic and
2. most of the NE
libraries are in the Consortia and so do not need
the detailed information about Forms 470, 471, 472, 486 and on and on
and....
What we do offer is 1
and 2 hour sessions on specific topics at county meetings at no charge
for an appropriate number of credits toward recertification. We
also offer classes on library specific topics, such as the Cataloging
class and the upcoming "Get Organized" class for librarians and
trustees. If you need a class on bookkeeping you can get it at
our fine community
colleges or in some high schools adult education offerings.
Finally, we also offer a
Mentoring program, special classes for boards,
and individual topic(s) of concern classes. But all of these are
offered to individuals or to specific libraries and are not (generally)
announced to all.
You are also encouraged
to attend classes offered by other LSA's, announced classes offered by
BCR, or classes offered through the State Library CE catalog. On
several occasions the Friday Notes 2 has promoted classes offered by
other organizations such as the "Preservation 101" series offered by
ICPC, or the tutorials offered by ALA, Self Directed Learning
Opportunities and classes offered by Web Junction.
IF you need something,
you have but to ask and NEILSA will be happy to help you find what you
need, develop an individual education plan or investigate a topic
of interest to you. BUT you have to ask, we gave up our
mind reader with the last budget cut.
SO:
When we say
CE or x ce's that is code for "A class that has/provides credits for
continuing education toward public librarian recertification under the
State Library of Iowa's librarian certification program".
Target dates for LIBRARY 101 in Fall 2004 they are:
September 30th NEILSA sites will be Fayette
& Hudson Public Libraries
December 10th
ICN
sites for Library 101.

Description: Get Organized examines areas of
your
work life to identify ways you can be more efficient, ordered, and
organized. You'll learn how to:
*
Organize your work space.
*
Eliminate the clutter in drawers, closets, and on
shelves and bookcases.

ahead of filing.
Getting organized and
staying organized is a great way to reduce the
stress in your life and feel more confident about yourself and the work
you are doing.

Building Consulting Grants
The State
Library
allocates Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) funds to provide
Iowa libraries with building consultation. These grants allow
librarians to get professional advice from impartial consultants who
provide
guidance and recommendations to library staff, city officials and the
community on the extent and complexity of a building project. The
building consulting grants have been funded by the State Library since
fiscal year 1994. Grants of up to $2,500 will be awarded as funds
are available. A library that has
received the entire $2,500 grant is not eligible for another one.
