BluuBeam Technology New at Midwinter
ALA Conference Services is pleased to be
working with BluuBeam, the No. 1 iBeacon
provider for libraries.
BluuBeam can be found throughout ALA
Midwinter Meeting, offering relevant information right on your smartphone. Get links
to content like slides and handouts (to use
on-site or save for later) for talks and sessions
such as “News You Can Use,” and information from places like the ALA Store, ALA
Membership Pavilion, and the Networking
Uncommons when you are in proximity to
those spaces. It will also allow you to save
the link to access selected session recordings
after the meeting.
“BluuBeam is turning brick and mortar
into an online, interactive experience,” said
Chris Zabaleta CEO of BluuBeam. “You
can push a message to someone based on
their location.”
Zabaleta noted that BluuBeam is another
way for librarians to interact with their patrons. “Imagine a patron who is in the genealogy section in your library,” he said. “The
patron receives a “Beam” (message) about
what else is offered in the library that might

Once you download the app, an alert on
your phone shows you information relevant
to your location when you come within
range of a Beam (about 40’). The messages
may include links, pictures, and text and
are nicely organized in the BluuBeam app.
You can access “Beams” that are around you
now as well as Beams that you’ve visited
previously – which makes it easy to share
and review later.
BluuBeam is a turnkey proximity messaging service offered to libraries to inform
patrons about things that may interest them
based on their location within the library.
BluuBeam also seeks to give libraries a way
to increase awareness within their community by leveraging their own network. To

ALA Masters Series Offers Broad Spectrum of Expertise
The ALA Masters Series is a Midwinter Meeting chance to hear and talk to experts from
across library specialties as they describe their
latest in-house innovations in fast-paced
sessions (over lunchtime – attendees are
welcome to bring their lunch). These sessions
offer insights into the hottest trends and how
librarians are stepping up to meet them.
Ben Bizzle will encourage attendees to
“Start a Revolution: Stop Acting Like a
Library” in his ALA Masters Series session
on Saturday from 11:45 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.
Compelled to change the perception of the
library as an antiquated institution, Bizzle
and the team at Craighead County Jonesboro
Public Library in Arkansas developed an aggressive technology and marketing strategy
in order to better serve their community and
increase public awareness of the library. Join
Bizzle as he discusses their award-winning
marketing approach, sharing techniques for
success alongside a provocative marketing
philosophy that will spur libraries to move
beyond their comfort zones, and shows how
you too can engage your community and
increase awareness of your local library. The
title of the session is also the title of Bizzle’s
book with Maria Flora, forthcoming from
ALA Editions in January 2015.

CSLP Partners with Award-winning Author Kate DiCamillo
The Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP) has announced its partnership with award-winning children’s book
author Kate DiCamillo as its first-ever
National Summer Reading Champion.
DiCamillo, who received a 2014
Newbery Medal for her latest novel,
Flora & Ulysses: The Illuminated Adventures, will appear in a series of public
service announcements, participate in
a national media campaign, and appear
at events coast to coast. Her goal is to
encourage families to sign up for and
participate in summer reading programs
at their local libraries and to raise awareness of the importance of summer read-
ing for children, teens, and adults across the
country.
“I am hopeful that in my role as National
Summer Reading Champion with CSLP I
can encourage young readers to go and find
themselves at the library,” DiCamillo said.
“To find books that capture their imaginations and to spend time with others who
love good stories.”
DiCamillo, who currently serves as the
National Ambassador for Young People’s
Literature for the Library of Congress, received her first Newbery Medal in 2004 for
The Tale of Despereaux.
“We are overjoyed to have Kate join us
as our first-ever National Summer Reading
Champion,” said Karen Yother, CSLP
president. “Her dedication to lifelong
learning through literacy from childhood
to adulthood represents everything our
organization stands for.”
CSLP is a national non-profit organization composed of volunteers who
create, produce, and provide public libraries with high-quality summer reading
materials for children, teens, and adults
across all 50 states, Washington, D.C.,
and four island territories.

summer reading program materials that
it develops for children, teens, and adults

lengthy continuum of organizations now
seems to share many similarities with today’s
libraries. Williams will offer a field guide to
these new spaces and point out the factors
that make a difference. She is a librarian
at the University of Windsor in Windsor,
Ontario, Canada. She is also a founder and
board member of Hackforge, a communitydriven hackerspace that got its start in the
front room of the Windsor Public Library.
She blogs at New Jack Librarian and can be
found on various social networks under the
name copystar.
In 2013, the Soon to be Famous TM
Illinois Author project was created to demonstrate the power of libraries to influence
readers. Libraries across Illinois responded.
As readers continue to signal their real thirst
for indie books, the Soon to be Famous
project is also about library collaboration
to discover new good reads among the tens
of thousands of books self-published each
year. Sundance is about indie movies and
YouTube is about user-created videos. Soon
to be Famous is a librarian-created space for
quality indie/self-published books. Learn
how to get this cutting-edge project started

Jason Segel to Appear as Saturday’s Auditorium Speaker
Jason Segel (photo by Michael Muller)
Well known for his work in television and
film, actor, comedian, and screenwriter Jason
Segel will appear as Auditorium Speaker on
Saturday, 10:00 – 11:00 a.m. Segel made his
debut as a children’s book author in 2014
with the first installment of his middlegrade trilogy Nightmares! (co-written by
Kirsten Miller), with the second in the series, Nightmares: The Sleepwalker Tonic due
for publication in September 2015. At its
heart, Nightmares! is about kids overcoming their fears, inspired in part by Segel’s
own childhood struggle with nightmares.
“Ultimately, it’s a story about learning that
we can accomplish anything, as long as we
are brave enough to try. These are the types
of stories that always inspired me,” he said.
Segel will next star in James Ponsoldt’s
dramatic biopic, “The End of the Tour,” in
which he portrays writer David Foster Wallace opposite Jesse Eisenberg. The film will
premiere at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival.
He most recently starred opposite Cameron Diaz in Jake Kasdan’s “Sex Tape,” and
also co-starred with Diaz in Kasdan’s “Bad
Teacher.” Segel landed his first major leading
role as “Peter” in Nicholas Stoller’s “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” which he also wrote.
He wrote a “Dracula” musical performed
by puppets, a personal idea and passion he
incorporated into the film, emboldening him
to pitch his concept for a Muppets movie.
He and Stoller wrote “The Muppets,” which
won an Academy Award in 2012 for Best
Original Song for “Man or Muppet,” written
by Bret McKenzie and performed by Segel.
Segel also collaborated with Stoller to write
and co-produce the film “Get Him to the
Greek.” Segel’s other film credits include
“Knocked Up” (recognized by the People’s
Choice Award for Favorite Movie Comedy,
nominated for a Critics’ Choice Award for
Best Comedy Movie, and named one of
AFI’s Top Ten Films of the Year), “This is
40,” (nominated for a 2013 Critics’ Choice
Award for Best Comedy Movie), “The FiveYear Engagement,” “I Love You, Man,” “Jeff
Who Lives at Home,” “Despicable Me,” and
“Slackers,” among many others. On television, Segel starred as “Marshall”
on the CBS hit comedy series “How I Met
Your Mother.” During the show’s nineseason run, it was nominated for an Emmy®
for Outstanding Comedy Series, a People’s
Choice Award for Favorite TV Comedy, and
a Teen Choice Award for Choice TV Show:
Comedy. He also starred in Judd Apatow’s
Emmy®-nominated television series “Freaks
and Geeks” for NBC as well as Apatow’s
“Undeclared” for FOX.
Segel’s appearance at ALA Midwinter
Meeting is sponsored by Random House
Children’s Books.

The American Association of School

the new site offers breaking news and
blogs, and encourages conversations to
inspire insightful professionals and stronger communities. Knowledge Quest can be
viewed at http://knowledgequest.aasl.org.
“The new Knowledge Quest makes it
easy to bring helpful professional development resources into your weekly reading
routine,” said Rebecca Morris, Knowledge
Quest editorial board chair. “Explore a
featured topic each day of the week –
Monday Means Leadership, Technology
Tuesday, What to Read Wednesday, Let’s
Get Together Thursday, and Friday Finds
– or just browse the most popular posts to
engage with diverse themes and current
news in school libraries.”
Focused on enhancing professional
practice, the new site builds on the
strong foundation provided by AASL’s
bimonthly journal. Knowledge Quest articles focus on the integration of theory
and practice in school librarianship and
new developments in education, learning
The popular five-minute Ignite sessions are
at the ALA Midwinter Meeting for the first

the three lunchtime sessions include: diversity in collection development (especially in
materials for youth); how geek culture can
help you diversify your collection; effective
web writing; using gamer theory in making
digital learning objects; a crash course on
Creative Commons; evidence-based librarianship; connecting alumni to the library;
creating improved materials for exploring a
famous Chicago cemetery; and many more.

“If you want a go-to site for news,
blogs, technology tips, and more, check
out the new KQ site,” said Terri Grief,
AASL president. “It has literally everything you need to start conversations
about library issues. It is a great place to
find your place in this community. Check
it out! I think you will love it.”
“AASL is very excited to launch the
new Knowledge Quest website,” said Meg
Featheringham, AASL manager/editor.
“It’s a great way for AASL members to
blog and be involved in the only national
professional membership organization focused on school librarians and the school
library community.”

E-rate Opportunities Take Center Stage
At the start of the American Library Association’s Midwinter (ALA) Meeting in
Chicago, the Association announced the
launch of “Got E-rate?,” a new initiative
that encourages library leaders to apply for
internet discounts as part of the national
E-rate program. The initiative is a response
to the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) recent overhaul of the E-rate
program, which included adding $1.5 billion
to the annual available funding. This infusion
and other program changes provide new opportunities for libraries to radically rethink
their broadband networks and begin to make
gains toward the broadband speeds necessary
for today’s and tomorrow’s library services.
In the coming weeks, ALA, in collaboration with the Public Library Association
(PLA), state library agencies, and other partners, will launch a series of E-rate resources,
including communications, education,
practical tools, and technical support for
librarians who are interested in applying for
E-rate funding.
“ALA invested significant resources over
the past 18 months to ensure the FCC’s
reform efforts would benefit libraries,” said
ALA President Courtney Young. “Due in
large part to this advocacy, the program now
supports more options for libraries that lack
sufficient broadband capacity to design and
maintain broadband networks to meet their
communities’ growing broadband needs.
The changes also include specific funding to
upgrade wireless networks. But our work is
far from over. ALA is redoubling its efforts
to ensure libraries are fully prepared to take
advantage of the ‘new’ E-rate program.”
Young added, “ALA strongly encourages
libraries to apply for E-rate funds. If you
already apply, it’s time to think bigger and
plan for the long-term broadband growth of
your library. If you have not applied in recent
years or at all, it’s time to think anew about
the program. There are more options for increasing broadband capacity and options that
can be tailored to the specific needs of your
library – whether rural, suburban, or urban.
The FCC opened the door for libraries, and
it is up to us to walk through it.”
“ALA urges libraries to take a fresh look
at the E-rate program,” continued Young.
“The majority of libraries have a long way to
go before they have the broadband capacity
they need. In the next five years, ALA aims
to double the amount of E-rate funding going to libraries.”
In the coming months, ALA will work
collaboratively with the Chief Officers of
State Library Agencies (COSLA) and PLA
to support libraries in applying for the E-rate
program.
“Along with ALA, COSLA will be urging
libraries to take a fresh look at the E-rate
program,” said COSLA President Kendall
Wiggin. “The new E-rate program is a victory for our communities, but to make it
meaningful, libraries must apply.”
“The FCC’s re-engineering of the E-rate
program has created important new opportunities for libraries to build and transform
the cutting-edge broadband networks necessary to support all our patrons – including
students of all ages, business owners, and
jobseekers – in local libraries,” said PLA
President Larry Neal.
To receive alerts on ALA’s involvement in
E-rate, follow the ALA Office for Information Technology Policy (OITP) on Twitter
at @OITP and use the Twitter hashtag #libraryerate. More information is available at

Encourage Play Through Early Learning Spaces
Don’t simply accommodate families with
young children – draw them in and make
your library a destination! Written by an
early childhood specialist, a designer, and an
outreach librarian, The Power of Play: Designing Early Learning Spaces, published by ALA
Editions, is a hands-on guide that takes you
step-by-step through the process of designing
an early learning space that fits your space
limitations and budget. With a strong focus
on making play spaces welcoming for parents, caregivers, and children while reducing stress for library staff, authors Dorothy
Stoltz, Marisa Conner, and James Bradberry
Christine Naulty (left) and Candace McManus organize and unpack
hundreds of boxes full of books at the Simon & Schuster booth 4411.
use current research to explain the importance of play in regard to early literacy and
learning. They show how underutilized
spaces of any size can be transformed into
play spaces, with planning secrets for small,
mid-size, and large play environments; offer
tips for reinventing reading nooks as “playscapes” that encourage fun and play; present
models of successful early learning spaces
from across the country, with illustrations
and floor plans; suggest ways to motivate
adults to help young children develop a
sense of discovery, energizing adults and
children alike to pursue the lifelong enjoyment of learning; include sample guidelines,
surveys, and plans to help you adapt your
play spaces to the needs of your community;
and provide a vendor list, tips for cleaning
toys, worksheets, and other tools for pulling
it all together, from engaging library staff
and community partners to hiring architects
and contractors.
Stoltz coordinates programming and
outreach services at Carroll County (Md.)
Public Library. She spearheaded a successful
early literacy training study for Carroll using
home child-care providers and three- and
four-year-olds. This research-tested study
showed statistically significant increases in
early literacy skills of children. She is coauthor of Every Child Ready for School: Helping
Adults Inspire Young Children to Learn and
Tender Topics: Picture Books about Childhood
Challenges.
Conner coordinates the programming
and services for children and youth at
Baltimore County Public Library. She created Early Learning Activity Centers in all
19 branches at BCPL and designed the
learning components for both Storyvilles,
BCPL’s award-winning early childhood
learning environments. She has presented
workshops and trainings on creating play
spaces in libraries at numerous conferences.
Bradberry is an award-winning architect,
author and principal of James Bradberry
Architects. He has taught architecture at Yale
University, Penn, and the Technical University of Nova Scotia, and his work has been
published in the U.S. and abroad. His firm
has designed several noted interactive learning environments for children, including two
Storyville projects for the Baltimore County
Public Library, and the Cotsen Children’s
Library at Princeton University.

Politicos, Professors, and Press
to Populate Panel Discussion
A panel of experts from the ranks of politics, academia, and the press will explore
the implications of the November midterm
congressional elections for America, libraries, and library advocacy at this Midwinter
Meeting. ALA invited U.S. Senator and
Democratic Majority Whip Richard Durbin
to keynote the conference session.
The session, “Whither Washington:
The 2014 Election and What it Means for
Libraries,” takes place 8:30 – 10:00 a.m. on
Saturday, in the McCormick Convention
Center, room W183A.
With critical bills to reauthorize federal
library funding, efforts to reform key privacy
and surveillance statutes, and changes to
copyright law all likely to be on legislators’
plates, libraries will engage heavily with the
newly-elected 114th Congress.
Speakers include J. Mark Hansen, professor for the Department of Political Science at
the University of Chicago, Thomas Susman,
director of government affairs for the American Bar Association, Roger Goldblatt, associate bureau chief, Consumer and Government
Affairs Bureau, Federal Communications
Commission, and Sen. Richard Durbin (Ill.),
Assistant Senate Minority Leader.
Plan to Celebrate NLWD15
Have you advocated for library issues?
Today is a great time to start! Visit the
American Library Association Washington Office’s new and reinvigorated
District Dispatch blog, which highlights
federal legislation and policy news that
impacts libraries. The District Dispatch
makes it easier for library advocates to
find important information policy news,
search articles, share news, and “drill
down” further into national policy issues.
The new District Dispatch also includes a “Breaking News” feature that
makes it easier for advocates to find the
most current and critical information
they need to take action at the national
level. Finally, the new blog makes it easier
for library staff to find free policy-related
webinars.
As we head into a new Congress, ALA
members are encouraged to subscribe to
the District Dispatch to keep abreast of
relevant library policy news, such as federal
funding opportunities, copyright reform,
open access legislation, Federal Communications Commission proceedings and
much more. Visit the blog today by going
to http://www.districtdispatch.org.

Plans are now underway for this year’s celebration of National Library Workers Day
(NLWD15) on April 14, 2015. Sponsored
by the ALA-Allied Professional Association
(ALA-APA), this day, celebrated on the
Tuesday of National Library Week, is for
library users, administrators, staffs, supporters, and friends to recognize the valuable
contributions made by all of those who
work in libraries. Library organizations are
encouraged to host a celebration and submit a star to honor a great worker, team, or
department. To jumpstart the celebration, t-shirts are
on sale in the ALA Store at a reduced rate of
$12. After Midwinter, pre-orders for t-shirts
will sell for $15 (which includes shipping).
A “free” poster will be given to any library
organization ordering 10 or more t-shirts
through March 20, 2015.
For more information about NLWD15
and to learn ways to celebrate, visit http://
www.ala-apa.org/nlwd/. You can also follow the APA on Twitter, @alaapa (using

Your Library can Lead Positive Community Change
All communities have challenges. Libraries are
uniquely positioned to help conquer them –
given the right tools.
On Saturday, ALA and The Harwood
Institute for Public Innovation will offer
a series of four learning sessions to teach
libraries to leverage their trusted position in
the community to engage people on issues
that matter.
The “Turning Outward to Lead Change in
Your Community” sessions will demonstrate
practical tools to aid in decision making,
facilitation, and leadership. Each stand-alone
session focuses on a single tool; taken together,
they become a powerful framework for engaging community and leading change.
All sessions will be held in McCormick Place
West W178. Attend one session or all four.
ƒƒ “Turning Outward to Lead Change in
Your Commnity: Aspirations” (8:30
– 10:00 a.m.) will help libraries focus
on community aspirations, identify
next steps for change and create an
aspirations-based story for their communities as a starting point for library
action.
ƒƒ “Turning Outward to Lead Change in
Your Community: Turn Quiz” (10:30
a.m. – 12:00 p.m.) will introduce
librarians to the “Turn Quiz” tool, enabling them to assess the focus of their efforts in the community as they shift their
orientation from internal to external. ƒƒ “Turning Outward to Lead Change in
Your Community: Intentionality” (1:00
– 2:30 p.m.) will enable participants to
test the external orientation and mindfulness of their community engagement
choices and decisions.
ƒƒ “Turning Outward to Lead Change in
Your Community: Sustaining Yourself ”
(3:00 to 4:30 p.m.) will help librarians
personally map the components that
feed their motivation and commitment
for community work.

Panel of Ebook Policy Experts

How much do you know about the current
library ebook lending environment? A leading panel of library and publishing experts

opportunities available to libraries now that

libraries with access to their full ebook
catalogs. The expert panel will explore
new ebook lending issues, such as business
models, pricing structures, privacy terms,
and digital preservation. The working group
will provide a summary of recent DCWG
advocacy activities and explore new opportunities for collaboration between libraries
and authors.

ASCLA Institute:
Using Comics to Promote Literacy
The Association of Specialized and Cooperative Library Agencies (ASCLA) is
proud to be kicking off the Midwinter
Meeting with the Institute, “Using Comics to Promote Literacy.” This topic is
important and timely in today’s increasingly visual culture. Participants will
learn how to use comics to promote both
verbal and visual literacy for emerging and
struggling readers, as well as learn how
comics are used to teach the Common
Core State Standards in reading and writing. Kimberly Guise, marketing director,
TOON Books, will address the academic
legitimacy of the comics genre and discuss how images imply rather than illustrate. Attendees will receive two TOON
books, one of which is the recipient of
the 2010 ALA Geisel Award. Learn why
comics are not just fun to read, but also
an incredibly rich resource to capture
and fuel a young reader’s imagination.
The session will take place today 12:00
– 4:00 p.m. at the Hilton Chicago,
Williford Room A. Learn more about
the division at http://www.ala.org/ascla.
