31 Mar '23

Director - Texarkana Public Library (TX) The Texarkana Public Library (TX)<https://txark.ent.sirsi.net/client/en_US/default> seeks a leader with the initiative to try new things and lead the library into the future. The new Director will work from a single location with a committed staff of 13.5 FTE and a $1.4 million budget - generated with income from both cities and Arkansas state aid - to serve the 66,000+ residents of the twin cities. The Director reports to the Texarkana Library Commission, which consists of 10 members, five appointed by the Board of Directors of the City of Texarkana, Arkansas, and five appointed by the City Council of the City of Texarkana, Texas. Library highlights include strong community support, excellent program offerings, and being part of a growing and thriving downtown. Key initiatives include the assessment of the existing library building and the possibility of a new facility, bringing new and fresh ideas to the organization, and preparing for the library's 100th anniversary in 2025. Texarkana is named after three states: Texas, Arkansas, and Louisiana, and the two separate municipalities, Texarkana, Arkansas, and Texarkana, Texas, sometimes function as one city. The State Line Post Office and Federal Building is the only U.S. post office situated in two states and is said to be the most photographed courthouse in the country after the Supreme Court. A burgeoning downtown, vibrant art scene, and beautiful weather make Texarkana an exciting place to call home. Residents also enjoy proximity to Dallas (TX), Houston (TX), New Orleans (LA), Little Rock (AR), and everything the gulf coast has to offer. Responsibilities: The Director's responsibilities include but are not limited to planning, organizing, and coordinating the operation and administration of the library; formulating library goals and objectives in conjunction with the library board; developing and recommending library services and policies; administering policies of the governing board; representing the library and the board to its patrons, to the city, and to the community; interpreting goals, objectives and policies; articulating policies and procedures in written statements and manuals; and evaluating the effectiveness of the library's services and policies in relation to changing needs of the community. Qualifications: A master's degree in Library Science from a college or university accredited by the American Library Association and three (3) years of progressively responsible library administrative experience is required. The ideal candidate will have worked with patrons from all backgrounds, understand the political mechanics of a city/county library system, and be a staunch advocate of the value public libraries bring to their communities. Compensation: The hiring salary is $75,000 along with an excellent fringe benefits package. For further information, contact Bradbury Miller Associates<https://bradburymiller.com/>.

About the DLG AIG Cost Assessment Working Group: A subgroup of the Assessment Interest Group, the Cost Working group is an ideal place for digital lab practitioners and managerial staff alike to come together to talk about practical ways to assess the resources necessary to plan and execute successful digitization projects. The AIG Cost Group focuses on identifying tools that may serve a wide range of digitization efforts. Our current goal is to analyze the data collected through multiple small surveys in 2021 and 2022 and use it to inform new initiatives. Beyond the surveys, we continue to support the project subgroups that developed from members' shared interests and work on various resources and issues. The current subgroups are insourcing vs. outsourcing, a registry for vendors, assessing scans per linear feet, best practices, and cost estimation. About DLF Project Managers: The group provides a forum for sharing project management methodologies and tools, alongside broader discussions that consider issues such as portfolio management and cross-organizational communication. The group also maintains an eye towards keeping pace with the dynamic digital library landscape, by bringing new and evolving project management practices to the attention and mutual benefit of our colleagues. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to the group chairs: Rachel Senese (rsenese(a)gsu.edu<mailto:rsenese@gsu.edu>), Julia Simic (Jsimic(a)uoregon.edu<mailto:Jsimic@uoregon.edu>) or Anu Paul (a.paul(a)yale.edu<mailto:a.paul@yale.edu>) Sincerely, Rachel Senese AIG Cost Assessment Working Group Co-Coordinator Digital Projects Coordinator Georgia State University rsenese(a)gsu.edu<mailto:rsenese@gsu.edu> And Julia Simic AIG Cost Assessment Working Group Co-Coordinator Assistant Director, Digital Scholarship, Digital Production and Preservation University of Oregon Libraries jsimic(a)uoregon.edu<mailto:jsimic@uoregon.edu>

Participate in an OCLC Research Study about Public Libraries (with link that works)
by Wood-Gramza, Heather (MDE) 31 Mar '23

31 Mar '23

Hi Everyone, Earlier this week, I sent information on a research study that OCLC is conducting. Unfortunately, the link that was embedded in the message I received to share with all of you had a link that didn't work for some of our colleagues. Since I don't have anything to do with the planning or execution of the study, I wasn't able to provide a working link at that moment and encouraged everyone to reach out to the individual leading the study. I'm happy to report, I now have a new message with a link that I tested myself. I encourage those of you who work on the frontlines with public libraries to consider participating. Are you a public library professional working in the US or Canada? If so, we'd like to talk with you! OCLC<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.oclc.…> is a global library organization that supports thousands of libraries by providing shared technology services, original research, and community programs. OCLC Research (http://www.oclc.org/research/<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.oclc.o…>) and WebJunction (https://www.<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.oclc.…>webjunction.org) are working together on a study about the current and future opportunities and challenges in public libraries. We will be holding two virtual focus group interviews in April with frontline staff in public libraries who work in a variety of public library sizes and regions, serving diverse communities across the US and Canada. If you are interested in participating in this study, please complete a brief online screening survey which should take about 5 minutes. We will use this to determine if you fit the study profile. If you are chosen to participate in the study, you will need to give your consent by signing an online form. Focus group interviews will be conducted and audio recorded via Microsoft Teams and will last approximately 90 minutes. Your identity will be kept confidential. Your email address and any other identifying information will not be connected to your interview responses. Furthermore, you may withdraw your consent at any time to terminate your participation. Please access the following link to take the screening survey by April 7: (https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/GTMTMNV<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.surve…>) If you know anyone who would be interested in participating in this study, we encourage you to pass on this information. We look forward to your participation!

[Clarke Historical Library] [Professional Headshot of Autthor Arthure Yorinks] David M. and Eunice Sutherland Burgess Endowed Speaker: Arthur Yorinks - "My Life in the Arts" Arthur Yorinks' life in the arts began when he was six - with music and stories - and he's still listening to (and sometimes playing) music and living in the world of story. He is the author of over forty acclaimed and award-winning books, including Hey, Al, which earned the Caldecott Medal in 1987. His writing has been hailed as "one of the most distinctive prose styles in children's literature." In his talk, he'll share highlights of his wide-ranging career and his collaborations with a broad spectrum of celebrated artists including Maurice Sendak, with whom he formed Night Kitchen Theater to present plays, operas, and musical comedies to children. He currently serves as a writer and executive producer, through Night Kitchen Studios, to develop projects based on the work of Maurice Sendak for Apple TV. In addition to his literary work, Yorinks has written and directed for opera, theater, dance, film, and radio. The David M. and Eunice Sutherland Burgess lecture supports authors, storytellers, and scholars to talk about the enduring importance of storytelling.
