Clackamas Community College Joins the Orbis Cascade Alliance NEWS RELEASE Contact: John F. Helmer, Executive Director Orbis Cascade Alliance [email protected] 541.246.2470 ext 205 Date of release: March 4, 2016 Clackamas Community College joins the Orbis Cascade Alliance EUGENE, Ore. – The Orbis Cascade Alliance is pleased to announce that Clackamas Community College has joined the Alliance, becoming its 39th member. Clackamas has been a participant in the Alliance electronic resources program for several years, applied for full governing membership last year, and finalized membership in February 2016. The college is expected to begin a migration project in early 2017 and join the Orbis Cascade Alliance shared integrated library system (ILS) in June of that year. “We are so very pleased to welcome Clackamas Community College to the Orbis Cascade Alliance,” said Faye A. Chadwell, chair of the Alliance board of directors, Donald and Delpha Campbell university librarian, and Oregon State University press director. “In voting to offer membership, the Council of deans and directors felt strongly that Clackamas Community College is a good fit for membership and shares the strong commitment to deep collaboration that typifies membership in the Orbis Cascade Alliance.” “Clackamas Community College has been planning for membership for the last several years,” said Phillip King, Dean of Instruction and Student Services. “The library added a new faculty position last year and we are ready to be an active contributor to the Orbis Cascade Alliance. Clackamas Community College looks forward to working with public and private colleges and universities across the Northwest while strengthening library services to our students, staff, and faculty.” In her announcement to Alliance members, Chadwell noted that “the review team was impressed with the enthusiasm and preparedness of the staff and administration. Clackamas staff did substantial research in preparation for membership and we are impressed with their knowledge of our strategic agenda and enthusiasm for Alliance work. It is exciting to have such a strong new member and key academic institution join from Oregon’s largest metropolitan area.” About Clackamas Community College Recognized for its committed, supportive faculty and staff, Clackamas Community College offers classes and services to a diverse student body at three active campuses – the Oregon City campus, the Harmony Community Campus in North Clackamas and the Wilsonville campus. Extension sites are also located in the towns of Canby and Molalla, where CCC offers English as a Second Language, GED in Spanish, computer science and plenty of community education classes. In addition to transfer degrees that pave the way for an easy transition to a four-year public university, CCC offers students certificates and degrees in more than 80 career and technical programs.

    Doyle: Patron-Driven Acquisition Patron-Driven Acquisition – Working Collaboratively in a Consortial Environment: An Interview with Greg Doyle Greg Doyle ([email protected]) Electronic Resources Program Manager, Orbis Cascade Alliance Cory Tucker ([email protected]) “From the Field” Section Editor Abstract Patron-driven acquisition models for electronic and print books have become extremely popular in the past two years and in most cases this service has been implemented at many individual libraries. One unique collaborative model of patron-driven acquisition was created by the Orbis Cascade Alliance through a partnership with Ebook Library (EBL) and Yankee Book Peddler (YBP). This unique project is an example of libraries, consortia, and vendors working together to develop new business models during times of financial constraint, where libraries and consortia are exploring various “just-in-time” acquisi- tion models. Collaborative Librarianship spoke with Greg Doyle about the project at Orbis Cascade.

  • Alliance-NWACC Accessibility Survey Report July 2019
    Alliance-NWACC Joint Accessibility Working Group Survey Report Introduction The Orbis Cascade Alliance (Alliance) and Northwest Academic Computing Consortium (NWACC) are working together to further our common goal of ensuring that digital resources and services are accessible to our users. A joint Accessibility Working Group (AWG) was formed to develop collaborative activities related to support for digital accessibility. The overarching goal identified by the AWG is to foster regional collaboration and information exchange among our member institutions. The purpose of the accessibility survey is to gauge priorities for collaborative activities, and gather information about resources and expertise that institutions may be able to share. The survey was distributed to member CIOs and Library Deans/Directors in March 2019. Because responsibility for digital accessibility is highly distributed in our institutions, recipients were encouraged to distribute the survey widely and solicit as many responses as possible. 167 individuals from 35 member institutions responded to the survey, representing a wide variety of institutions and organizational units. Most respondents play multiple roles in supporting accessibility at their institutions, including direct support for people with accessibility needs, creating accessible web resources, working with vendors and contracts to ensure accessibility standards are met, and generally working to ensure regulatory compliance. Accessibility support roles do vary, depending on the organizational division of the respondent, but there is substantial overlap in the top five responses. Nearly half of the respondents identified understanding accessibility best practices as one of their top three institutional priorities. Other high priorities include raising awareness & educating the community, collaborating across institutional departments, understanding evolving compliance requirements, and helping faculty provide accessible resources.

  • Library-Collection-Development-Policy 2014.(April
    GFU LIBRARIES COLLECTION DEVELOPMENT POLICY Purpose of the Collection Development Policy The collection development policy is intended to provide an overall plan for the development of the collections at George Fox University’s libraries. This document will outline the principles, policies, and guidelines used in building the collections. It will define the scope of the collection and will serve as a guide to those involved in building and developing it. Brief Description of the Libraries The Murdock Learning Resource Center (MLRC) is a 35,000 square foot structure located on the University's main campus in Newberg. The Newberg campus is the site of the University's traditional undergraduate programs as well as several graduate programs. The Portland Center library (PCL) contains 12,500 square feet. George Fox Evangelical Seminary, graduate counseling programs, some graduate education programs, and the undergraduate Adult Degree Programs meet at the University’s Portland Center. While physically separate, the University's libraries function as one administrative unit. The ordering, receiving, cataloging, and processing of collection materials occurs through centralized operations at the MLRC. Students and faculty can conveniently request materials be sent from one library to the other through the online catalog, and a daily courier service runs between the two sites. The library also serves students in online classes, and at Salem and Redmond sites. The University does not maintain libraries at these sites but offers library services and resources to students in a variety of ways, including full text online via extensive e-resources. User Groups The primary borrowing groups at George Fox University are: • Students • Faculty and all staff Other groups for the Newberg campus are: • Retired faculty • Retired staff • Quaker or Newberg-area ministers • Spouses of GFU faculty/staff • GFU board members • Spouses of GFU board members • Bon Apetit food service employees • GFU alumni • Spouses of GFU student • Teachers in GFU Education Consortium district • C.S.
