OF LIBRARY SERVICES AND RESOURCES OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON 1965 by L. DOROTHY BEVIS Associate Director School of Librarianship University of Washington OLYMPIA WASHINGTON STATE LIBRARY 1968 PREFACE The Washington Library Associationtogether with the Washington State Library have long had a history of welldirected planning for library service in the State. In the depression of 1934 thefirst Program of Library Develop- ment in the State ofWashington1 made its courageous appearance, and was followed by the second in 1938 whichre-emphasized the principles of the first and initiated further challenges. Analysis of the past and post-war planning were published in 1944 in thethird Program which showed that the majority of goals of the first two Programshad been achieved. The well- known "Bowerman Report" appeared in 1950 4ndset forth A Proposed Regional Library Plan for the State of Washington, recapitulating in its Foreward the legal and organizational sters taken inlibrary development since 1935, and emphasizing the Legislature's acknowledgmentin 1945 of the State's "... financial responsibility to assst in thedevelopment of libraries and the equalization of their support."'In 1945 the Legislature alsoauthorized the State Library to make studies and surveysof the Stahe's publiclibrary needs, &rid a continuing number of individuallibrary and iibrary system sur- veys, prepared by theWashington State Library staff, have appeared. The Washington Library Associationappointed a Statewide Programs of Service Planning Committee in 1965, anddiscussion centered about the necessity to update the foundational "BowermanReport" and to inventory the needs of public, school andacademic libraries. As a result the State Li- brary Commission was asked to make possiblesuch a study, and Professor Doro'chy Bevis, Associate Director ofthe School of Librarianship,University of Washington, was asked toplan, undertake research upon currentlibrary re- sources and services, and topresent the results. This was to be done with the cooperation and help of the staffof the Washington State Libraryand could not have been achieved without theaid of Miss Maryan Reynolds, State Librarian, and her capable assistants. Particularly to be mentioned is Miss Kristy Leivestad, Research Assistant,who is responsible for the planning and coordination of tables and maps aswell as preparation of the index and over-all editing; and toMiss Dorothy Cutler and Miss Dorothy Doyle for editorial advice. Mrs. Jean Badten, Miss NancyMotomatsu and Mrs. Mary Wark, of the StateOffice of Public Instructionundertook the presentation of the elementary and secondaryschool library picture. Special appreciation is due for theirsetting of the historical background of school libraries, theupdating of information, and the wholehearted cooperation of statistical and secretarial staff. Mr. George Douglas, formerly Librarian of Shoreline CommunityCollege in Seattle, and now Vice-President and Dean of Instruction, haswritten the study of "The Community College Libraries of Washington";and the survey prepared in 1965 by three prominent publiclibrarians, Willard O. Youngs, June Thurston, and Eva Santee, is included, as itdescribes the services to the publicli- braries of the State by the Washington StateLibrary. Time has been an element in the developmentof the Inventory. Back- ground study and the design and mailingof the questionnaires was com- pleted in June 1966. Because of commitments to theUniversity, no further work could be done until Fall 1966 but fromOctober 1 to December 23 Miss Bevis visited 106 libraries of the132 (public, university, college and community college) in the State. There were 95 public libraries(regional, county, individual city or town,participants in the Timberland Library Demonstration and club-suppor;--ei) scattered fromthe islands of Puget Sound in the 1.

Ibid. p. ii to the borders el": Idaho, Oregonand BritishColumbia.4 The ten libraries (including the Timberland LibraryDemonstration) serving over 100,000 popu- is lations were all visited by the surveyor, aswere the nine libraries serving populations from 25,000 to 100,000; the20 libraries serving populations from 5,000 to 25,000; 27 out of the41 libraries serving populations under5,000; and two of six club-supportedlibraries serving populations under 5,000. The five state-supported college anduniversity libraries of Washington and eight of the twelve privatelysupported colleges and universities werealso visited, as were the 20community college libraries of the State. In each case, the libraryoperation was observed and the replies of the librarian to the questionnairediscussed in order to clarify anyambiguities or to make additions tothe information. The Inventory again had to lie fallow while the Surveyor returnedto her teachina duties on theUniversity of Washington campus, but theanalysis of data and the writing of thereport was resumed in thespring of 1967. It should be said that the stressof the working periods and thetime lag between them have causedseveral limitations upon the Inventory. It was necessary to structurequestionnaires and send them out withouttime for trial and revision. Information was based upon figures for1965 for public libraries and fiscal year 1964-65 forschool and academic libraries, andit was difficult to keep tothis date-line when the librarians hadgathered additional data and had made serviceand resource advancements by thetime of the visits. The Inventory has followed the requestof the Washington Library Association Statewide Programs of ServicePlanning Ccmmittee that "the needs of both academic and publiclibraries should be inventoried" and that"essay as well as statisticalquestions" be asked in order to survey"in depth." Questions tried not to duplicate theinformation within the.annual statis- tical reports of the libraries receivedby the Washington State Library, or the United StatesOffice of Education reports requestedby the Devart- ment of Health, Education and Welfarefrom .Phe academic libraries. Tables have been devised which show comparison of manyfacts to standards but it was not the purpose ofthe Inventory to make recommendations. An intensive School Library andAudio-Visual Survey was published in May 1964 under the supervision of the StateOffice of Public Instruction, and it has been used as the basis for thechapter on school libraries with the addition of comparative figures sincethe date of its appearance, and an historical sketch of theschool libraries of the State. Statistics were gathered from various governmental sources,State and National, and they did not always numerically agree. This is partially due to the fact that fiscal yearsvaried in the crganizations and partially to the fact that certain figures areprojections instead of exact counts. The publications used were, however,authoritative and may be checked in the Bibliography at the end of this Inventory. A study

    Jimmy Raney Thesis: Blurring the Barlines By: Zachary Streeter A Thesis submitted to the Graduate School-Newark Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Jazz History and Research Graduate Program in Arts written under the direction of Dr. Lewis Porter and Dr. Henry Martin And approved by Newark, New Jersey May 2016 ©2016 Zachary Streeter ALL RIGHT RESERVED ABSTRACT Jimmy Raney Thesis: Blurring the Barlines By: Zach Streeter Thesis Director: Dr. Lewis Porter Despite the institutionalization of jazz music, and the large output of academic activity surrounding the music’s history, one is hard pressed to discover any information on the late jazz guitarist Jimmy Raney or the legacy Jimmy Raney left on the instrument. Guitar, often times, in the history of jazz has been regulated to the role of the rhythm section, if the guitar is involved at all. While the scope of the guitar throughout the history of jazz is not the subject matter of this thesis, the aim is to present, or bring to light Jimmy Raney, a jazz guitarist who I believe, while not the first, may have been among the first to pioneer and challenge these conventions. I have researched Jimmy Raney’s background, and interviewed two people who knew Jimmy Raney: his son, Jon Raney, and record producer Don Schlitten. These two individuals provide a beneficial contrast as one knew Jimmy Raney quite personally, and the other knew Jimmy Raney from a business perspective, creating a greater frame of reference when attempting to piece together Jimmy Raney.

This report is based on the 2015 Capital Budget directive for a new facility to replace the current Washington State Library facility and to provide for needed archives storage. After a comprehensive review of several sites, the location I am recommending in Tumwater meets the intent of RCW 43.82.10(6) which “encourages the colocation and consolidation of state services into single or adjacent facilities…” The Library-Archives building will bring together the unique collections of the State Library and State Archives along with other divisions of my office currently dispersed across seven locations in Thurston County. Consolidation of these services in a LEED® designed state-of-the-art facility will: • restore the preservation of our state’s historical documents to modern archival standards; • provide flexibility to adapt our storage needs as agencies progress with electronic records storage; • result in a more energy efficient facility; and • significantly improves public access to historical documents, records and government publications managed by my office. This report incorporates previous predesign work for the former Heritage Center and includes a site recommendation, program consolidation plan, cost estimates and bond capacity to build and operate the new Library-Archives facility.

    New York State Library Early Literacy Training—State Library Research and Best Practices Arizona: Holly Henley, Library Development Director, Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records, A Division of the Secretary of State, Carnegie Center, 1101 West Washington, Phoenix, AZ 85007, Phone: 602-926-3366, Fax: 602-256-7995, E-mail: [email protected] Insights: Library staff members who plan to offer early literacy workshops for parents and caregivers find it very helpful to see a demonstration of Every Child Ready to Read and Brain Time before doing them on their own. They also find it helpful to have someone who can act as a mentor while they are getting started. On an ongoing basis, a vehicle for communication and sharing experiences between those who are doing early literacy outreach is very helpful. It is essential to provide ongoing training opportunities for library staff in order to train new staff members in libraries and to keep continuing staff members informed of the latest best practices. Project Description Partnerships and Funding Training and Technology Evaluation Building a New Generation of Readers: A statewide early literacy Trainings and resources for early Face-to-face trainings with Saroj Rhian Evans Allvin and the Brecon project designed by the State Library that provides public and school literacy are supported with LSTA Ghoting, Betsy Diamant-Cohen, Group prepared an evaluation of librarians with the training and materials to teach parents and childcare funding from IMLS, administered Elaine Meyers and staff from New early literacy work by the State providers strategies for preparing children to enter school ready to learn by the Arizona State Library.

Bolig The advent of this online discography is a continuation of record descriptions that were compiled by me and published in book form by Allan Sutton, the publisher and owner of Mainspring Press. When undertaking our work, Allan and I were aware of the work started by Ted Fa- gan and Bill Moran, in which they intended to account for every recording made by the Victor Talking Machine Company. We decided to take on what we believed was a more practical approach, one that best met the needs of record collectors. Simply stat- ed, Fagan and Moran were describing recordings that were not necessarily published; I believed record collectors were interested in records that were actually available. We decided to account for records found in Victor catalogs, ones that were purchased and found in homes after 1901 as 78rpm discs, many of which have become highly sought- after collector’s items.

  • 1 Core Competencies for Music Librarians and Music Library
    Core Competencies for Music Librarians and Music Library Professionals Prepared by the Music Library Association Core Competencies for Music Librarians and Music Library Professionals Task Force The Core Competencies for Music Librarians and Music Library Professionals specify a set of broad skills and knowledge necessary for the successful performance of the many duties and responsibilities inherent in a wide variety of possible professional appointments. The list is neither comprehensive nor intended as a realistic description of what a single individual can reasonably accomplish during the span of their career. Instead, it describes the work of a network of individuals engaged in the practice of music librarianship. While like the previous competencies documents, the list represents a guide for emerging and current music librarians and professionals, music librarian educators and employers, in an effort to provide a direction in future career development, the current document also distinguishes between basic and expert competencies. The competencies are organized into eight areas. The order was not intended as an indicator of their relative importance. In preparation for this work, the Task Force conducted extensive literature review, analyzed current music librarianship course syllabi, surveyed MLA membership and examined core competencies of comparable organizations and the American Library Association. The Task Force presented research results and preliminary thoughts concerning competencies to the MLA membership at its annual meeting in February 2017. After incorporating membership feedback, the Task Force produced a draft, which was presented to the MLA Board for comment. The resulting draft was posted for public comment. The current document incorporates many of those recommendations.
