Profiles InFoPeople Vermont Nebrask@ Flint Charlotte Seattle ... La Plaza Profiles in connectivity: Vermont Automated Libraries System Vermont Department of Libraries Fifty thousand Vermonters have no public library service. More than 90 percent of the 210 public libraries are in towns with populations of less than 1,500 and are staffed by volunteers or part-time personnel having no formal library training. Nearly 50 of the public libraries do not even have a telephone line. Furthermore, during the early 1990s, Vermont's Department of Libraries (DOL) lost 22 percent of its staff positions and more than 18 percent of its operating budget due to reductions, absorbed costs, personal services increases, and inflation. Against these odds, the DOL has connected the widely distributed and mostly rural Vermont library system into an impressive electronic network. The Vermont Automated Library System (VALS), demonstrating the role of the library in providing electronic access, is based on the same premise guiding most public libraries in providing nonautomated services: "Access should be made available through the local library to the individual quickly, at no cost or low cost, and with no pre-judgments or limitations" (Patricia E. Klinck and Sybil McShane, "The Vermont Automated Libraries System," p. 1).

"This is an exciting development," said John Y. Cole, director of the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress. "Since 1984 the Vermont Reading Project has been a national leader in promoting library-based book discussion groups. This new partnership also gives the Library of Congress its first state center in New England." In the past the Vermont Reading Project has been funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Vermont Council on the Humanities. The Vermont Center for the Book will continue its work of conducting book discussion programs at 75 libraries each year and organizing annual book discussion programs for new and "at-risk" readers at approximately 150 schools, libraries, correctional facilities and other sites. For the past five years, it has coordinated an annual "About Books and People," conference for 350 adult new readers. Most recently the Vermont center has begun working closely with the Vermont governor's Success by Six program to put books in the hands of the parents of preschoolers and to train parents and child-care workers in integrating reading into a child's daily routine.

commons-blog Main December 04, 2003 Vermont Library Asks for Community Input VALISblog links to a Brattleboro Reformer story, "Libraries Eye New Identity." The article describes a meeting planned for Brattleboro residents so that the county commission can get a better sense of what services the community expects from the library and, in turn, so library advocates can make people aware of the value of libraries. This meeting sounds like a way that commons advocates might work in communities to address some of the pressures on commons institutions. From the Reformer's description, local library advocates are faced with budget cuts and the loss of regional libraries on one hand, and with increased usage and changing expectations about what libraries should provide on the other. It appears that the regional commission, who organized the meeting, have in mind both learning what the community wants from the library and showing the community why it is important to support the library. These goals are very close to what I had in mind in yesterday's post on bookstores and libraries when I suggested commons advocates need to hear what users understand about commons institutions in order to promote those institutions within their communities.

For People With An Active Interest in the Civil War Today Books Stolen From Vermont Library Civil War Items Missing at State Library MONTPELIER, Vt. During a recent check of the shelves at the Vermont Department of Libraries in Montpelier, hundreds of items, including Civil War books and pamphlets, were discovered missing. Among the Civil War items were regimental histories from Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and several other states, personal narratives, and general histories, nearly all published between 1860 and 1920. Dyer's Compendium and Miller's Photographic History of the Civil War were taken, as well as adjutant general and battlefield commission reports from several states. Librarian Paul Donovan said he was mystified by the motive. "All items had some combination of bookplate, department stamp, accession number, embossing or perforation. None were manuscripts, and none were related to Vermont, as far as we know." Also missing were items related to Colonial times, the Indian Wars, the Revolution and the Spanish-American War. Increased security measures which had been planned before the books were missed will be implemented. Anyone with any information should contact the Montpelier Police Department at (802) 223-3445.

Bernie Buzz For Immediate Release, 12/20/2002 Statement of Karen Lane on the Patriot Act's Effects on Vermont Libraries The following statement was given by Karen Lane, President of the Vermont Library Association, at a press conference with Representative Sanders. Hello. My name is Karen Lane and I am currently the President of the Vermont Library Association. The Association represents some 400 Vermont librarians who serve in public, academic, and special libraries throughout Vermont. It is the stated goal of our organization to “insure equal access to information for all residents of the State.” Lately, we have begun to fear that we could be punished for adhering to the code of ethics governing our profession. Provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act of October 2001 would prohibit us from protecting “each library user’s right to privacy and confidentiality with respect to information sought or received and resources consulted, borrowed, acquired or transmitted.” [American Library Association Code of Ethics, 1995] The freedom to read is one of the cornerstones of democracy and Vermonters are readers. Vermont ranks first in the nation in the number of libraries per capita AND per square mile. 97% of all Vermonters have public library service available in their town or nearby. The average Vermonter borrows 6 ½ books each year from his/her public library. As librarians, we consider ourselves responsible for ensuring that all our library patrons have free access to information.

Back Health Science Libraries of New Hampshire and Vermont HSL - NH/VT NEWS Volume 12, no. 1 Spring 2000 PRESIDENT'S PERSPECTIVE Many of us live and work in areas that are isolated from large medical centers. Most of us are solo librarians and we network with colleagues infrequently. Have you every experienced feeling out of touch with our changing profession? Service on an association board or committee has its merits. Working in this capacity provides an opportunity to be part of ateam that looks at the issues we face professionally and then work toward offering programs that address these issues. The regular communication with librarians with whom we share many of the same concerns and interests is motivating and nurtures camaraderie. There are many highly qualified and talented librarians among us. More importantly, they are wonderful people. I would encourage members of Health Science Libraries of New Hampshire and Vermont to JOIN IN and serve on a committee, in particular, the Program Committee. We are attempting to limit the number of formal board meetings to one per year. Juggling meeting schedules can be overwhelming; we have been using e-mail communication for much of the planning over the past year. HSL-NH/VT will be hosting the annual NAHSL meeting in the fall of 2002; let's step up our participation so that we can successfully carry this off! If you are interested in becoming more involved in our association, please contact Norma Phillips, Chair, Nominating Committee (603) 527-2837 (nphillips@gw.lrgh.org) or Anne Conner, President (802)748-7501 (a.conner@nvrh.org).

52. U.S. Libraries And The "War On Terrorism" In October 2002 the vermont Library Association adopted an Open Letter tovermont s Congressional Delegation regarding the Patriot Act, to which over two http://www.wpunj.edu/~newpol/issue37/Hudson37.htm

New Politics , vol. 10, no. 1, whole no. 37, Summer 2004] U.S. Libraries and the "War on Terrorism" Mark Hudson In response, the American Library Association's Social Responsibilities Round Table endorsed a "Statement of Concern on the Use of Flags in Libraries' Public Areas" at the ALA Midwinter Meeting in January 2002, which warned that "such unusual displays may create an intimidating atmosphere for some library users who may be deterred in their requests for materials and assistance" and urged "libraries to be sensitive to these concerns." SRRT representatives on ALA Council (the governing body of the association) also introduced several war-related Council resolutions at the meeting. However, the resolutions against secret tribunals and against the war in Afghanistan were both defeated by Council, while another on intellectual freedom and the use of torture in war or peace was prevented from coming up for a vote because of a quorum call. The inclusion of this "gag order" in Section 215 of the Patriot Act may be related to the FBI's experience with the "Library Awareness Program" of the 1980s, in which FBI agents visited libraries seeking information about Soviet-bloc nationals supposedly accessing unclassified technical reports in government document collections. The librarians who were contacted were mostly hostile and uncooperative, they spoke to the press about the contacts, and the program generated a considerable amount of negative publicity for the FBI. Perhaps the Ashcroft Justice Department has drawn the lesson that library surveillance can produce the desired results only when librarians are cowed into silence.

53. Livelyhood: Keeping Rural Libraries Linked And Wired Interviews with Albert Joy of the vermont Library Association and Eric Andersonof the Ohio Valley Association of libraries. Albert Joy, of the vermont http://www.pbs.org/livelyhood/ourtowns/lff-rural.html

Keeping Rural Libraries Linked and Wired Interviews with Albert Joy of the Vermont Library Association and Eric Anderson of the Ohio Valley Association of Libraries. Albert Joy, of the Vermont Library System and Librarian at the Bailey-Howe Library of the University of Vermont, and Eric Anderson, of the Ohio Valley Association of Libaries (OVAL), are directors of two very different yet both rural library systems and both are deeply concerned with the issues facing the rural libraries as they enter the technological fray. "The first issue is access, access, access, and then the second is training, training, training," , says Albert Joy. "A rural library has to dial long distance to get anywhere," adds Eric Anderson. Both men feel that accessibility is at the center of all the other issues. They stress the importance of telecommunications technology for people in rural often meaning remote areas, and that the Infrastructure must be created to link these remote users in order for the "highway" to be truly functional. As Eric Anderson says, "Right now there is no highway to drive on... The biggest challenge is hooking up the rural libraries on the most basic of levels...The real issue is that everyone have access." Both men are instrumentally involved in creating workshop type situations for training and user fluency. Eric Anderson brings computers in to library board meetings to try and show them first hand why the computers are important, how to use them, and hopefully set up an expereintail reference point for why and how to fund these things. "Sometimes it's about getting the libraries themselves to make the committment to the technology," Part of the problem lies with library boards who may not be computer savvy, and in these situations Anderson brings computers into board meetings to teach primers on how to use the Internet and why it may be a valuable tool in the public library of the 21st Century. "It's so important to train the librairans to use the Internet so that they can turn around and train the general public..." agrees Joy, thus maintaining the library's role as "a mediator of information."

58. Mobile Library Literacy: Solutions For A Rural Environment The State of vermont Department of libraries is beginning a twoyear MobileLibrary Literacy project to discover if mobile library services are a viable http://www.firstmonday.org/issues/issue6_4/mcshane/

Funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), the State of Vermont Department of Libraries is beginning a two-year "Mobile Library Literacy" project to discover if mobile library services are a viable means for serving rural and suburban populations in the 21st century. In announcing the grant, Vermont's U.S. Senator James Jeffords described the project as designed "to promote access to books, reading programs, and information through technology. [It] will extend the walls of the library ... and welcome all Vermonters to be part of the learning community." Contents Introduction Literacy, the Past and the Future Vermont Profile Background on Bookmobiles in Vermont ... Conclusion Introduction Mobile library outreach services such as bookmobiles have traditionally been a means to provide library and information services to rural citizens. Yet between 1974 and 1998 not a single bookmobile operated in Vermont, the nation's most rural state, and nationally only 8% of bookmobiles operate in communities with populations under 10,000. The Vermont Department of Libraries will provide grants to local libraries working with coalitions of school districts, schools, and other community organizations to provide mobile library services on a county, school district, or regional basis. The grants will be flexible, allowing each applicant to tailor its project to local needs and requirements but the emphasis will be on partnerships, service to all age groups and sustainability beyond the two-year grant period.
