As the world around us -- and especially our appliances -- become "smarter," our desire for convenience is leading to an erosion of privacy. From hacked security devices to law enforcement warrants, data is being collected about us within our homes. Advances in technology beg the question: What are we willing to sacrifice for ease? Are we willing to live under surveillance so Alexa can answer questions and shop for us? Is it OK for our car to send information to insurance companies to determine if our policy should be renewed? It's a brave new world, with vast amounts of data being shared across platforms, and unless you read all the fine print, you may not realize what is being done with your information -- or who has access to it (including hackers).
Business Insider projects that more than 64 billion Internet of Things devices in use by 2025, up from 10 billion in 2018. It raises the question: Are we creating our own surveillance state? Taking a cue from Get Smart, two scientists recently designed a "bracelet of silence," that jams microphones in smart devices so that users may speak privately in their homes. And in 2018, California passed legislation about cybersecurity that included smart devices.
So why do we, as librarians and information professionals care about these smart devices? Protecting patron privacy and confidentiality is a cornerstone of the American Library Association's Library Bill of Rights. We have an opportunity to provide resources explaining the trade-off between convenience and privacy, offer programs explaining the concerns and ethical implications (alerting visitors that you have smart devices in your home), and educate people about what they can do to restore and protect privacy in their everyday lives. And we have a responsibility to consider how the vendors we use impact patron privacy.
In other news, the coronavirus has made its way to our shores, providing public libraries an opportunity to educate the public about how to stay calm and healthy. And please, wash your hands!

JA Computer Order Update
Due to the coronavirus shutting down factories in China, we are going to be doing this order in TWO phases. This is to try to get available stock already in the warehouses here in the US before a shortage occurs.
The deadlines for this order are Friday, March 6, and Friday, March 20, 2020.
- Please make the order deadlines! Missing it delays the process of everyone getting their PCs and the schedule for the next order is also affected . We will help to resolve emergency computer needs, but we need to get back to the schedule too. The full group order schedule for the year is located at http://japroject.sals.edu/index.html.
- All order forms should be e-mailed as an attachment to JAGroupOrder@sals.edu. The subject should contain your library’s 3 letter code (E.g. “XYZ - 2020 Beginning -Year Group Order”). This makes it easier to separate actual orders from questions.
- Once your order has been received and processed, we will send you an e-mail confirmation. This may take a day or two depending on current workload.
- If your monitor(s) are over 10 years old please contact us so we can assist you in finding the correct adapter(s). The port types have changed on the newer computers, and may require an adapter to connect to old monitors.
What’s New
The large computer towers are slated to be phased out. The large towers are just not as environmentally friendly, and are no longer needed manage heat.
All-in-Ones, if anyone has purchased an all-in-one in the past two years. You may have noticed some lengthy delays (6+ months) in getting your hardware. This has been caused by several factors, ranging from processor shortages, to tariffs on trade. Currently, vendors do not want to quote them because the delivery dates are farther out than ever.
As a solution, we have been testing the Mini PCs here for the past month with very good results. We are moving forward to switching over to the Mini PCs. The Mini PCs DO NOT have a DVD drive, however an external USB drive is available on the order form.
Due to the Mini PCs small size, a Kensington Lock is also being offered for security if desired. It will allow you to secure the Mini PC to the monitor or directly to the desk.
Order Details
The PCs, both public and staff, will be coming with Windows 10 and Office 2019.
- Staff Mini PC - $676 (This includes all software)
- Public Mini PC - $698 (This includes all software and customized lockdown if public, unless running Cassie*)
- Staff Laptop $946 (This includes all software and accidental damage warranty)
- Public Laptop $956 (This includes all software and accidental damage warranty)
* If you are purchasing public PCs for use with Cassie please indicate the number on the order form and you will need to contact JA for pricing.
ALL the PCs will be shipped to SALS to be configured. Once each PC is configured it will be sent in the delivery.
Please fill out the return order forms to JAGroupOrder@sals.edu ASAP.

The New York State Education Department is accepting applications for the 2020 Summer Food Service Program. Sponsors are organizations that are fully capable of managing a food service program and agree and assure to serve meals to any eligible child in accordance with Federal Law, USDA policy, guidance and instructions including federal civil rights laws, regulations and policies.
Approximately 400,000 free meals are served daily to New York State children through the USDA's Summer Food Service Program, which will operate this summer throughout New York State from June 15 through September 7, 2020.
The Summer Food Service Program was established to ensure that low-income children, 18 and younger, continue to receive nutritious meals when schools are not in session. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service administers the Summer Food Service Program at the national level and the New York State Education Department (SED) administers it at the State level.
To serve the eligible children in their communities, sponsors must verify that the site where they plan to serve meals is located in an area where at least half the resident children are from households with incomes at or below the eligibility level for free or reduced-price school meals. In most instances, current year school data provides the most accurate economic status of a particular community. Potential and existing sponsors can request data from the schools or from the SED to determine eligible program sites.
Summer Food Service Program sponsors receive federal and State reimbursement for each meal served to a child, according to predetermined reimbursement rates set by USDA. SED will hold training workshops in March and April for sponsors planning to participate in summer 2020.
Potential new sponsors may obtain additional information on the Department's Summer Food Service Program website or by contacting the New York State Education Department, Child Nutrition Program Administration, 89 Washington Avenue, Room 375 EBA, Albany, NY 12234, (518) 486-1086. Email is also available at cnsfsp@nysed.gov.
The American Library Association (ALA) has released a set of free professional development materials to help library workers in small and rural communities develop the facilitation skills they need to thrive in the 21st-century library.

Available materials include:
"Leading Conversations in Small and Rural Libraries," a practical 30-page guide that covers the basics of leading discussions in the library, including roles and responsibilities, setting ground rules and managing group dynamics.
"Libraries Transforming Communities: Facilitation Training for Small and Rural Libraries," a five-part e-course available on ALA's eLearning platform. Module 1, "Conversations in the Library: Getting Started," will be followed by four additional modules to be released monthly this spring. Sign up for the full e-course series to receive notifications when new modules are added.
Libraries Transforming Communities: Facilitation Skills for Small and Rural Libraries is made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services grant number RE-17-19-0041-19. The initiative is offered by ALA's Public Programs Office in collaboration with the National Coalition of Dialogue & Deliberation (NCDD), the Association of Small and Rural Libraries (ARSL), and the Chief Officers of State Library Associations (COSLA).

Libraries and the Census
Most of our patrons will begin receiving their invitations to complete the 2020 Census in the mail starting March 12. For the first time, they may respond online or by phone, as well as by mail. And they will almost certainly have questions and look to their libraries for accurate information, as well as help getting online.
This decennial count of all U.S. residents determines political representation and annual allocation of $1.5 trillion in federal funding. The form only takes 10 minutes to complete, but the impact of who is counted (or not) lasts for 10 years.
Please join us on March 4th for a special episode of American Libraries Live where we’ll equip you with the resources and effective library practices you need to support a complete count. ALA’s Public Policy & Advocacy Office, along with our expert panel, will lead a 60-minute discussion followed by a 30-minute Q and A.

Supporting the Health of Trans and Gender Expansive Youth
The provision of inclusive and affirming care for transgender and gender expansive youth is critical to the health of individual youth, their families, and the community. Inclusive and affirming care can be thought of as systems, programs, and services that support the self-stated gender identities of the youth they serve and that do not pathologize gender exploration, transgender identities, or diverse/non-binary gender expressions. This webinar will focus on the importance of identity affirming care for the overall health and well-being of transgender and gender expansive youth, including a review of the social context of growing up transgender or gender expansive today and identifying ways to practice inclusive and affirming care. This will include opportunities to consider how to make systems, services, and spaces more inclusive, culturally appropriate and humble, and the fluency of terminology.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Describe the difference between sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression
- Explain why trans- inclusive and affirming care is critical for the health and well-being of trans and gender expansive youth
- List a variety of ways to demonstrate trans- inclusive and affirming care
- Assess systems, programs, and services for their level of trans- inclusive and affirming care

Cultivating Protective Factors for Safe Libraries and Resilient Communities
Every day, public libraries open their doors to people facing ongoing life challenges, such as poverty, mental health symptoms, substance abuse, or domestic violence. The library may be the only protective place they can turn to, the only place that can counter the debilitating negative factors that govern their lives. Join this webinar to explore the ways the library functions as a "protective factor" and to understand how the library, staff, and patrons exist within a community-wide context of safety. With consideration for how poverty, race, or other often stigmatized challenges impact the patron experience, learn practical and applicable ways to assess your library’s relationship with patrons, local law enforcement, social workers, and other organizations. Hear how the Sacramento Public Library learned through crisis to address staff and community trauma and to build resilience through more compassionate and inclusive policies and practices.

Wholehearted Libraries
We should bring our hearts to work, and qualities such as open-mindedness, emotional intelligence, and reflective action are all part of this process. Services steeped in humanism, compassion, and understanding should be the cornerstone of what we do, and why we do it, for all members of our communities, including the underserved. Not only do libraries need high tech, but they also need staff who approach their work with a wholehearted attitude.
This mini-conference will explore the human side of 21st-Century information work. We will define what soft skills are, how and when to use various soft skills, types of training that can improve soft skills, and how to share emotionally engaging stories. Learn what libraries are doing now to extend services, create welcoming spaces, and engage users with soft skills such as compassion, empathy, creativity, curiosity, and finding balance. Sessions will focus on how we can nurture a positive mindset in our employees, use the power of stories to promote understanding and extend our reach into our global communities. Soft skills are heart skills.
This is a free event, being held live online and also recorded. REGISTER HERE

Call to Action: Public Libraries and the Opioid Crisis
Public libraries are respected local institutions that connect community members to credible information and services. As community anchor institutions, libraries are leveraging their assets in response to the opioid crisis that has gripped the country. After 16 months of research, OCLC, and the Public Library Association have released a call to action on how libraries can address the opioid crisis in their communities. The call to action was created in response to library staff requests and has been informed by case study research and cross-sector discussions with library staff, as well as those with national and local community partner organizations. Two themes from the research and discussions stand out: there are many options for addressing this crisis and it is vital to do something. Panelists will share resources, including ideas for organizations to partner with, additional perspectives to consider, and strategies for getting started.

Improving Access to Civil Legal Justice through Public Libraries
Barriers to civil legal justice disproportionately affect low-income people in the U.S., creating the justice gap—the divide between the civil legal needs of low-income people and the resources to meet those needs. Though legal issues can be intimidating for library staff, public libraries are well positioned to help reduce the justice gap by providing more access points to legal information and services.
Improving Access to Civil Legal Justice through Public Libraries is a grant-funded training initiative that will strengthen library staff’s knowledge and ability to help identify when there is a civil legal issue at play and to direct library users to relevant, helpful information to narrow the justice gap in their communities.
Topics covered by the training:
- Understanding the role of public libraries in addressing the justice gap
- Recognizing the difference between legal information and legal advice
- Conducting the legal reference interview; addressing patron stress and anxiety
- Reviewing and strengthening your library’s civil legal reference collection
- Examining commonly addressed and important civil legal topics, including family, housing, veterans, and consumer issues
- Exploring trusted local- and state-specific online self-help resources
- Identifying and cultivating relationships with local organizations that offer legal aid, legal referrals
Project training dates:
- February 11, 2020: A free webinar to learn about the course. Recording available: Civil Legal Justice: The Crucial Role of Libraries
- April 2020: A five-week, instructor-led online training, Creating Pathways to Civil Legal Justice. Enrollment now open! See also course FAQs.
- October 2020: A self-paced online training available in WebJunction’s Course Catalog
- March 2021: An instructor-led facilitator training that will prepare library staff to guide peer learning groups through the self-paced course.

Social Work Students and Public Library Partnerships
Librarianship and social work have many shared values, including meeting the expanding and evolving needs of individuals and the community. Nearly 80 public libraries in the U.S. have collaborated with social work programs or schools of social work, to provide valuable learning opportunities for social work interns, and to connect community members with crucial services which exist beyond standard library offerings. Libraries or social work educators looking for ways to initiate collaborations with social work interns should join this webinar to understand the benefits, and a few challenges, to partnering with an institution or individual. Explore the types of intern assignments at the library that align with key social work competencies, from needs assessment to 1:1 patron referrals, and from staff training to outreach programs. And finally, discover how these internships can work for libraries of all types and sizes, including those in small and rural communities. Register for the webinar here: https://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/social-work-students-library-partnerships.html
