Multnomah County Library Collection Shrinkage—A Baseline Report
Y T N U MULTNOMAH COUNTY LIBRARY COLLECTION SHRINKAGE—A O BASELINE REPORT H NOVEMBER 2006 A REPORT FOR THE ULTNOMAH OUNTY IBRARY M A M C L O REPORT #009-06 N T L REPORT PREPARED BY: ATT ICE RINCIPAL NALYST U M N , P A BUDGET OFFICE EVALUATION MULTNOMAH COUNTY, OREGON 503-988-3364 http://www.co.multnomah.or.us/dbcs/budget/performance/ MULTNOMAH COUNTY LIBRARY COLLECTION SHRINKAGE—A BASELINE REPORT Executive Summary In July 2005, the library administration contacted staff from the Multnomah County Budget Office Evaluation, a unit external to the Library’s internal management system, to request independent assistance estimating the amount of missing materials at the library, known in the private sector as ‘shrinkage’. While much of shrinkage can be due to theft, it is impossible to distinguish between this and misplaced or inaccurate material accounting. Results reported herein should be considered a baseline assessment and not an annualized rate. There are three general ways to categories how shrinkage occurs to the library collection: materials are borrowed by patrons and unreturned; items which cannot be located are subsequently placed on missing status; and materials missing in the inventory, where the catalog identifies them as being on the shelf, are not located after repeated searches. Each of these three ways was assessed and reported separately due to the nature of their tracking. Shrinkage was measured for all branches and outreach services and for most material types, with the exception of non-circulating reference materials, paperbacks, CD-ROMS, maps, and the special collections. This analysis reflected 1.67 million of the 2.06 million item multi-branch collection (87% of the entire collection). -

Before the Multnomah County Library District Board
BEFORE THE MULTNOMAH COUNTY LIBRARY DISTRICT BOARD RESOLUTION NO. 2017-057 Adopting the Multnomah County Library Space Planning Framework. The Multnomah County Library District (MCLD) Board Finds: a. Established in 1864, today's Multnomah County Library is one of the busiest, best and most beloved public library systems in the United States. b. The library offers a wide range of resources, services and personal assistance to people of all ages. c. The library commenced a space planning process in July 2016, engaging nearly 4,000 residents, community leaders, partner agencies, educators and nonprofits for input and carefully reviewed use patterns, demographic data and industry best practices. d. The physical structure of this system began in the Andrew Carnegie era, when libraries served vastly different purposes than today. e. Multnomah County Library's library spaces total just 260,000 square feet, a rate of just over 0.3 square feet per capita. Other Oregon library systems offer up to three times that amount per capita. f. All 19 Multnomah County libraries, plus library office and storage space, would fit into Seattle's downtown library. g. Growth projections show an increase of population to more than 910,000 in Multnomah County by 2035. h. Demographic data show increasing needs in east Portland and east Multnomah County, which offers just 25% of total library space, yet is home to 40% of residents. The Multnomah County Library District Board Resolves: 1. Adopt the findings of Multnomah County Library Framework for Future Library Spaces, authored by Group 4 Architecture. 2. Envision a resulting system of libraries that provides modern and adequate spaces for people across Multnomah County. -
Property Tax Measure Review Ballot Measure 26-211 Multnomah County Library GO Bonds September 10, 2020
Property Tax Measure Review District Multnomah County 26-211 Bonds to Expand, Renovate, Construct Library Branches, Ballot Measure Facilities; Increase Safety (attached to this review) $387 million GO Bonds and an estimated tax rate of $0.61 per Financial Details $1k AV with a 9-year term Election November 3, 2020 Hearing Date and Time September 22 @ 10:00 Commissioner Discussion September 15 @ 2:00 Date Review Prepared September 10, 2020 Background This Bond Measure’s formal origins date back to July, 2016. That was when the County Commissioners established a Citizen Action Committee to study the ability of the County’s 18 libraries to serve the community. A year later, in its “Library Framework” report, the Committee stated the primary issue succinctly: “The issue for Multnomah County Library is that it simply lacks space.”1 The Committee stated that the library facilities service level amounted to 0.3 square feet per capita system wide, and only 0.19 square feet per capita in East County as shown in the graphic below. The Committee recommended enlarging total library space to 0.7 to 0.8 square feet per capita and specifically adding more library space in East County. From that work comes the core of this ballot measure. 1 Library Space Planning Framework, June 16, 2017 https://multcolib.org/sites/default/files/Multnomah_County_Library_space_planning_framework_FINAL.pdf Property Tax Measure Review Ballot Measure 26-211 Multnomah County Library GO Bonds September 10, 2020 Purpose This bond measure seeks taxpayer approval to issue up to $387 million in General Obligation Bonds, the debt service for which will be paid for with a property tax levy that the County estimates will be $0.61 per $1,000 of Assessed Value with a term of not more than 9 years. -

Pioneers of Computing
Social and Professional Issues in IT Pioneers of Computing Pioneers of Computing Many scientist and engineers have contributed in the development of computing science. This chapter covers all the major scientists and their works, who have played a significant role in the development of computing. Some of the major Pioneers of Computing and their contributions are described here Aristotle (384 BC, Stagira, Greece, 322 BC, Athens, Greece) He was one of the greatest ancient Greek philosophers of his time. Many of his thoughts have become the back bone of computing and artificial Intelligence. His work in the natural and social sciences greatly influenced virtually every area of modern thinking. Biography Aristotle was born in 384 BC in Stagira, on the northwest coast of the Aegean Sea. His father was a friend and the physician of the king of Macedonia, and the lad spent most of his boyhood at the court. At 17, he went to Athens to study. He enrolled at the famous Academy directed by the philosopher Plato. Aristotle threw himself wholeheartedly into Plato's pursuit of truth and goodness. Plato was soon calling him the "mind of the school." Aristotle stayed at the Academy for 20 years, leaving only when his beloved master died in 347 BC. In later years he renounced some of Plato's theories and went far beyond him in breadth of knowledge. Aristotle became a teacher in a school on the coast of Asia Minor. He spent two years studying marine biology on Lesbos. In 342 BC, Philip II invited Aristotle to return to the Macedonian court and teach his 13-year-old son Alexander. -

Paul Allen, the Co-Founder of Microsoft
Stan J. Caterbone ADVANCED MEDIA GROUP ® Freedom From Covert Harassment & Surveillance, Registered in Pennsylvania 1250 Fremont Street Lancaster, PA 17603 www.amgglobalentetainmentgroup.com [email protected] 717-669-2163 April 28, 2016 Me and Paul Allen, the Co-Founder of Microsoft In 1987 I was lending money in both the commercial mortgage banking arena and also looking at possible investments as a general partner with the network of financial professionals from my company, Financial Management Group, Ltd.,. We had raised $90 million dollars in investments in our first nine months of operation, August of 1986 to June of 1987. One of my clients was Reginald Pattey and his wife. Reg was an executive for RCA Corporation, which later became Burhle Industries. Reg had informed me that Harold Krall was forming a new company, which was later named Cardinal Technologies, and asked me to see if there was an opportunity for me to fund the start-up. Now, also in the mix was a close college friend of mine named Tom Circe, who had taken over his father's position as Director of Personnel at RCA. Now, of course it never came to fruition because of me blowing the whistle on International Signal and Control, or ISC in June of 1987. Fast forward to the beginning of Advanced Media Group and my work at American Helix at 1857 Colonial Village Lane, Lancaster, PA, or Dale High's Greenfield Industrial Park. For the record, American Helix was funded through my company Financial Management Group, Ltd., when Dave Deering solicited Scott Robertson for financing for American Helix after a deal with an Angel Investor fell through.
