Joe Raiola will share his nationally acclaimed program, “The Joy of Censorship,” at this year’s NDLA Awards banquet. The Joy of Censorship has been performed at conferences, libraries, and universities around the country and was recorded live for broadcast nationally on C-SPAN’s American Perspectives. The program uses comedy to examine First Amendment issues such as banned books, movie ratings, the Patriot Act, Internet filters, indecency, the true meaning of obscenity, and more issues of inter- est to librarians. Joe says that his program is “unrated.”

In addition to his work as a comedian, Joe is a long-time contributor and now senior editor for Mad Magazine.

The Good Stuff - Page 11 - August 2010 Conference Programs and Presenters Wednesday, September 29, 2010 - 1 – 5 p.m. - Pre-conferences

Pre-conference: RDA: An Introduction – Mark Ehlert Resource Description and Access (RDA) is the new cataloging code designed to succeed AACR2. This pre-conference will use AACR2 as a point of departure to introduce attendees to the structure and content of RDA. Instruction will present an inspection of the new rules, their FRBR-inspired language, and their practical application in MARC-encoded bibliographic and authority records. Opportunities for hands-on cataloging will be offered. The session will end with a period for questions and discussion. Mark K. Ehlert is a Coordinator with the Bibliographic and Technical Services unit of Minitex. He has been a cataloger for over 15 years, plying his trade at Alcuin Library (St. John’s University, Collegeville, Minnesota) and the University of Minnesota’s Wilson Library. More recently, he has been a participant in the Minitex Contract Cataloging Program, formerly as a cataloger, now as a manager.

Pre-conference: Spinach Ice Cream - Kyle Mewburn Kyle Mewburn invites attendees to “Hear about my personal journey to discover the magical recipe for a perfect picture book. In my talk, I’ll tell the story of how I came to be a children’s writer before going on to discuss my own approach to the tricky task of writing books kids love.” Kyle says, “I’ve always loved writing. Unfortunately my handwriting has always been horrendous. No matter how hard I try, it always comes out looking like a cockroach has stepped in some ink and crawled across the page. Lucky for me, some smartypants came along and invented the typewriter. There was no stopping me after that!” For more information about Kyle Mewburn, see Linda Austin’s article about the Flicker Tale Awards elsewhere in this issue. Thursday, September 30, 2010 – 9:15 - 10:30 am

Applying Information Literacy Continuously across K-20 Panel discussion with Donna James, Janet Spaeth and Virginia Tupa This panel of experts will present on the process of teaching information literacy at all grade levels and will address the information literacy transitions that occur when a student graduates from a school that teaches one set of grades and enters a school or college that teaches the next higher grades. Donna James is the Director of Library Services at Allen Memorial Library, Valley City State University. Janet Spaeth is the On-Campus Educational Services Librarian at Chester Fritz Library, University of North Dakota. Virginia Tupa is the Director of Instructional Services at Grand Forks Public Schools.

Library and Public Media Partnerships – Pam Rezac, PBS As resources become scarcer, libraries, educators, and other service providers can all benefit from partnerships. Prairie Public is looking for opportunities to partner with libraries across the state. This presentation will address how libraries and public television affiliates are working together across the country and will provide an open forum for sharing and discussing common programming goals and ideas specific to North Dakota. Pam Rezac has been an educational services associate at Prairie Public since January 2010, and worked as a 7th grade language arts instructor for West Fargo Public Schools before that. She received her B.S. in English Education from Minnesota State University Moorhead in 1999. Pam has been an active member of the West Fargo Public Library, volunteering as a story time reader and working with the summer reading program. She is a member of the West Fargo Friends of the Library group and currently serves as its president.

The Good Stuff - Page 12 - August 2010 If You Build It, Will They Come? – Karen Bjork As budgets decrease and demand for electronic resources continues to increase, can you create and maintain a sustainable IR (Institutional Repository)? Yes, you can! This presentation will look at the creation and pilot project of an IR on a limited budget using DSpace. This session will focus on the period beyond creation and discuss the theory that “if you build it they will contribute.” Marketing, advertising, and technical strategies to grow a repository will also be discussed. Prior to joining the NDSU Libraries staff, Karen Bjork worked at the Montana Historical Society (MHS) as a Government Records Archivist. While at MHS, she participated in the development and growth of the Society’s digital collections. In 2009, Karen began working as the Digital Initiative Librarian at NDSU Libraries and has been working on promoting and maintaining NDSU Libraries Institutional Repository, Digital Commons. Thursday, September 30, 2010 – 11 a.m. - 12:15 p.m.

ESL in Public Libraries: Panel Discussion – Beth Postema and Lori West Lori West and Beth Postema have both been with the Fargo Public Library for over 20 years. In that span, they have seen changes in both the library’s approach to New Americans and how FPL’s services have been used by new immigrants. Many of these changes are a part of the different immigrant groups that have settled in Fargo in succeeding waves. Lori West is the Branch Services Manager for the Fargo Public Library, and Beth Postema serves as the Deputy Director.

Free Games, Media, and Activity Resources for Children from PBS – Pam Rezac There is a wealth of media, online games, and/or accompanying activities for all PBS programming! In this presentation, we will look specifically at how and where you can find these resources, as well as ways they can be integrated into your summer or year round children’s programming. This presentation includes sample workshop outlines and information regarding workshop trainings. For presenter information, see program description for Library and Public Media Partnerships.

You Say Dog, I Say Canine: Designing a Thesaurus to Connect Your Users to Your Digital Content – Aubrey Madler Are you starting a digital library project? Are you interested in taxonomies and folksonomies?

Social Networking for Libraries (and Librarians) – Kristen Northrup This is a slightly condensed version of a 2010 NDSL Spring Workshop session of the same title. Setting up and using Web 2.0 tools is easy, but creating policies, assigning responsibilities, measuring effectiveness, and simply continuing to have things to say after the first two months is challenging. This session will focus on how libraries can enhance their services with Facebook, MySpace, Flickr, and Twitter, with time for discussion on other hot new tools of interest. Discussion will also focus on how librarians can effectively balance their personal and professional online identities in order to take full advantage of networking and other professional development opportunities. Kristen Northrup is the Head of the State Document Depository at the North Dakota State Library. She has been with the State Library since June 2006 where she spends most of her time cataloging happily. (No, really. But ask her again once RDA rolls out.) She is also regularly tuned in to the wide resources (and sheer entertainment) found on many social networking sites across the Internet and particularly encourages you to follow the North Dakota State Library on Twitter (NDStateLibrary).

The Good Stuff - Page 14 - August 2010 Cataloging a President: The Theodore Roosevelt Digital Library – Krystal Thomas The Theodore Roosevelt Center is undertaking an ambitious project to digitize all the writings, photographs, cartoons, and ephemera of and about the 26th President of the United States. The challenge in cataloging the collection is making each item findable in a reasonable amount of time utilizing volunteers, staff, and interns for the cataloging. Among the questions faced are what classification system to use, what are other ways to catalog to make the collection accessible, and how will general users approach the collection compared to Theodore Roosevelt scholars. A recent MLIS graduate from the School of Information at the University of Michigan, Krystal Thomas brings a background of traditional and digital archival experience to the Theodore Roosevelt Center and TR Digital Library project. Past experience with digital collections at the Sindecuse Museum of Dentistry and the Smithsonian Institution Archives, along with her education, makes her an excellent fit for the challenges of cataloging the massive digital collections being created from the works of Theodore Roosevelt.

Electronic Legal Information: Access and Authentication Rhonda Schwarz & Ted Smith Over 200 years ago, Thomas Jefferson wrote: “Whenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government.” Librarians today help keep people informed about an almost infinite variety of issues and interests. Law librarians, in particular, work to help keep people informed about legal information. Permanent public access to official, authenticated online legal information is important for a well-informed North Dakota citizenry. Law librarians have organized into state working groups across the country to help ensure such access and authentication. Schwartz and Smith will report on the status of access and authentication for North Dakota electronic legal information. Rhonda Schwartz is Library Director and Assistant Professor of Law at the University of North Dakota School of Law. Ted Smith is Law Librarian at the North Dakota Supreme Court Law Library.

Advocacy and Funding for Academic and Special Libraries Panel Discussion Moderated by Victor Lieberman Where is the collective voice for academic and special libraries represented within our state? Is it with the State Board of Higher Education (SBHE)? ODIN? Other offices or individuals? The level of funding for academic and special libraries in our region is inadequate to sustain a high level of research and educational support by our libraries. Who is making this case to our state legislators, and how is it being done? Who is currently working on this problem in a broader sense, seeking other funding and support for academic and special libraries in our state outside of legislative revenues? Is there someone? Is there some agency charged with this specific mission? As librarians working in these institutions, it is essential that we educate ourselves about what processes exist, and perhaps formulate strategies for effecting new ones should there be none already. The purpose of this program is to begin a conversation on this issue and start a process of education that can aid those concerned about these matters toward making positive and constructive efforts toward the goal of greater support for the needs of academic and special libraries in North Dakota. The panel will include representatives from the State Board of Higher Education, ODIN and ACRL (Association of College & Research Libraries). Victor Lieberman is the Social Sciences Reference Librarian and Bibliographer at the Chester Fritz Library, University of North Dakota. He has worked there for over 10 years. Prior to coming to North Dakota, he worked in both public and private libraries.

Website Accessibility Testing with Screen Readers – Will Martin This session will focus on demonstrating how to use free and open-source screen reading software such as FireVox or NVDA (Non-Visual Desktop Access) to test your web site’s accessibility for the blind and visually impaired. Formal compliance with accessibility standards such as Section 508 or the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines is a good start, but does not guarantee that your site will actually work smoothly. Performing a few tests with a screen reader will help turn up any issues that may not be visually apparent. Will Martin grew up in Denver immersed in books, pursued the study of medieval literature long enough to get two (!) master’s degrees in the topic, then switched tracks to academic librarianship. Along the way he learned to program in a variety of languages, mostly web-based, and developed a keen interest in accessibility.

Post-Conference: My Name Is Hutta: a True Story & We Wanna Tell YOUR Stories Oneida Storyteller Deborah Morningstar

My Name Is Hutta: A True Story In this engaging performance, Debra Morningstar weaves Native flute, story, and song together to bring to life the journey of Hutta, a Native American girl who was adopted away from her family and culture at a young age. Hutta spent her childhood in a dysfunctional, alcoholic home and endured both physical and sexual abuse. Later in life, she returned to her tribal roots for direction and healing. This story, told with compassion and love, is a riveting and poignant example of the resiliency of the human spirit.

We Wanna Tell YOUR Stories Exploration and discussion of the Native American worldview—cultural history, tribal spirituality and the dismantling of Indian stereotypes – will be facilitated through a variety of mediums including lecture, multimedia, Oneida chant/flute, group participation in traditional ceremony (Talking Circle with Eagle Feather), and group discussion/Q & A. Learning Objectives: At the end of the session, participants will: • Have a better understanding of the cultural value differences between the Native worldview and that of the European perspective • Gain deeper insight into the effects of 400 years of trauma on Native Americans and the impact it has on tribal people/Elders yet today (as is often perceived by non-Natives as an unwillingness to share tribal stories and ceremonial protocol/information)

The Good Stuff - Page 21 - August 2010 • Understand that in many tribes (not all) there is a traditional, cultural protocol as well as taboo as to “who should/can tell specific tribal stories, in what setting, and under what conditions • Distinguish between the types of tribal stories that might be considered “acceptable” to tell. Debra Morningstar, Native American storyteller and cultural presenter, is an enrolled member of the Oneida Tribe of Indians (Wisconsin) (Turtle Clan) and professional Storyteller, Yukhika-l’atuhse (She tells us stories). Debra has presented Native storytelling performances, cultural residencies, and workshops at festivals, schools, conferences, libraries, and museums across the US and Canada for the past 23 years. Artfully weaving stories, Native flute, chant, and drumming into an educational and thought-provoking presentation, Debra explores/discusses dangerous Indian stereotypes (the Hollywood Indian), the Native American worldview, history and cultural traditions of Turtle Island’s First People. A favorite of Wisconsin students, Debra shares her “traveling cultural exhibit” including moccasins, beadwork, corn husk dolls, basketry, and more. All are encouraged to touch, feel, and “experience” the Native American culture -- hands on! Debra recently released a CD collection of traditional stories called Tales from the Lodge.

Harriet S. Selverstone, the author of Encouraging and Supporting Student Inquiry: Researching Controversial Issues, is a retired high school library media specialist. She has been active in her profession by holding positions such as chair of the Library Media Department at Norwalk High School in Connecticut and president of the American Association of School Librarians and the Connecticut Educational Media Association. Selverstone also served on the American Library Association’s Intellectual Freedom Committee for two terms and chaired the Connecticut Educational Media Association’s Intellectual Freedom Committee for several years. • administrative support • public relations In her book, Selverstone explains that students • teaching, learning, and student inquiry are eager to have an opportunity to debate issues, during the research process to reflect and deliberate on them, and to justify their thoughts as they research topics.

How Libraries Can Help

Submitted by Karen Pearson, Program Coordinator North Dakota Protection & Advocacy Project

Although it may seem as though the 2008 presidential election only recently ended, we are already in the midst of another election cycle. On November 2, 2010, voters will go to the polls to participate in North Dakota’s general election and make their voices heard. Libraries can play an important role in helping voters find information on the voting process.

To facilitate participation in the electoral process, voters need information on voting options, how to find polling sites, what their rights are with voting, and how to obtain help if they encounter difficulties in voting. To assist North Dakota To increase public awareness and educate voters citizens, the Secretary of State’s Office has created about using the website and voter resources, and posted excellent materials and resources on P&A asks libraries to consider hosting a display its website (www.nd.gov/sos), including: of election materials or a “voter education day” in conjunction with the Protection and Advocacy • Videos on voting rights Project.

The Good Stuff - Page 43 - August 2010 TechTips & More

Compiled by Karen Anderson, Editorial Committee Member In this column, Denyse Sturges (M.A., Ed.S., ABD, Engineering & Aerospace Studies) highlights two FREE software applications that can help make your searching easier and more productive! Denyse is a reference librarian and bibliographer at UND’s Chester Fritz Library. Thank you, Denyse!

LibX LibX (libx.org) is a free extension to your FireFox or IE (Internet Explorer) Web browser that allows you to search your library’s resources from your browser while you’re browsing. This is great to have when you are reading an email that mentions an article and you wonder if your library can access it. Simply cut and paste the citation into the LibX tool bar, run a search through your library’s citation linker, and you’ll quickly learn if you can get it online, in your library’s print collection, or if you’ll need to make an interlibrary loan request. How about a book? Same thing.

I was reading a book review article online and wondered if we had the book. I opened the LibX toolbar and copied and pasted the book title into it. Voila! We owned it and doing this search saved me time. What if you’re searching Amazon or another online bookseller and find a book that sounds interesting? Rather than opening another window, typing in the address of your local library and searching the catalog, use LibX. [Note: The North Dakota State Library and Allen Memorial Library at Valley City State University both have versions of LibX that work with IE.]

To see an example of how LibX works, look at the screenshot below. I copied and pasted Eat Pray Love into the North Dakota State Library toolbar and pressed the go/search command.

Did you notice there’s a down arrow after “Search the ND State Library” on the toolbar next to the keyword search box? You can also search other libraries, using the ND State Library LibX button. See what it brings up in the screenshot below.

You can create your own LibX button to share by going to the LibX home http://libx.org. Choose “Create your own LibX edition now” from the page – or watch the screencasts/ tutorials. I understand that the North Dakota State Library explained how to do this and shared handouts sometime ago. Contact them for more information.

To use it in your document, you’ll need to download one more thing: the word processing extension.
