E-Book Pricing

The Canadian Public Libraries for Fair Ebook Pricing coalition is seeing a great response to its campaign so far.  More than 20,000 visits have been logged to the campaign website  and the story has been picked up many times by prominent media outlets including CBC, The Toronto Star, and TVO. In December 2015, Penguin RandomHouse announced that they would merge their two licensing approaches for libraries in the United States and Canada, and would be lowering the price cap for titles sold to Canadian libraries from $95 per license to $65. In February 2016, an open letter was prepared and sent to multinational publishers requesting discussion of a proposed dual pricing model.  In this letter we praised Penguin RH's direction in reducing eBook pricing for libraries and welcomed other multinational publishers to follow.  In March 2016 the President of Simon and Schuster Canada responded to the open letter requesting a meeting to discuss.  A meeting between Vickery Bowles of Toronto Public Library, Sharon Karr of Edmonton Public Library, and Jefferson Gilbert of CULC is currently in the works.

On 5 March 2016, The Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) approved a resolution to support libraries calling for action from the federal government on eBooks and asking for an investigation of restrictive eBook prices to public libraries. A news release was posted on Tuesday, March 29 to bring further awareness to the issue and to invite participation in a second Twitter chat was held on March 31 from 12:30 - 1:30pm. This latest campaign push has generated an active conversation on Twitter with #FairEbookPrices, and has received media attention across Canada.

Shipping Tool Update

For libraries using the Library Materials Shipping Tool (EOE Secure), the Supplier Account is not available at this time. Please continue to use meter as a method of payment and process your item as per the current process. Further communication will be sent out once Supplier Account is active and visible in the shipping tool.

Qatar National Library (QNL) is pleased to invite all librarians to register and participate in the upcoming Metropolitan Libraries (IFLA METLIB 2016) conference, to be held in Doha - Qatar, 23-28 April, 2016, under the theme "Pearls in the desert: unleashing potential".

Metropolitan libraries are meant to provide people with knowledge and information to realize their potential and become active contributors to their society's development. A pearl inside a shell starts with a grain of sand and grows into a beautiful gemstone after a long process of nurturing and care by the oyster. Likewise, the potential which every human has needs nurturing and can develop into a great skill or ability no matter how small that potential might be.

Alberta Library Conference
Thursday, April 28 to Sunday, May 1, 2016
SHAKE IT UP! ALC 2016 will have sessions that challenge and provoke new and radical ways to reach our communities and offer examples of thinking outside the box. We'll learn about new ideas or drastic changes taking place in the library world. We'll hear how progressive libraries are experimenting with new ways to deliver service and build collections. Recent years have brought news of new public service models, new discovery systems, virtual branches, library vans and book bikes, kiosks in innovative locations, information neighbourhoods, zone staffing, embedded librarians, data curation, repositories, and other service innovations. The library community is embracing new service models that recognize the importance of digital information, find new ways to reach outside of the traditional library walls, and engender collaboration with new and intriguing community partners. Come to ALC 2016 to hear about the evolution of libraries and how innovative they really are!

The guide is intended to provide concise accessible information about Canadian copyright law for those who conduct research in Canadian libraries and archives in order to understand how copyright works and how to apply the rules to particular situations. The term 'researcher' includes all those who consult the resources of libraries and archives for any purpose, whether the outcome is a dissertation, a family tree, a school project, or the answer to a question of personal interest. The librarians and archivists who serve researchers will also find it useful when responding to questions about copyright; however, the guide does not cover the administration of copyright matters in a library or archives.

Soon the siblings are confronted by a mysterious stranger and the secrets of the cursed house will change their lives forever. This much-anticipated follow up to Jonathan Auxier's exceptional debut, Peter Nimble and His Fantastic Eyes, is a Victorian mystery in the tradition of Washington Irving and Edgar Allan Poe.

2016 Award for the Advancement of Intellectual Freedom in Canada
The Canadian Library Association is pleased to announce that Richard Beaudry and Gail Chaddock-Costello have been chosen as winners of the 2016 Award for the Advancement of Intellectual Freedom in Canada for their demonstrated leadership and exceptional courage in resisting censorship and opposing violations of intellectual freedom in school libraries and schools.

Mr. Beaudry, long-time teacher librarian in British Columbia and 1st Vice-President of the Langley Teachers' Association, and Ms. Chaddock-Costello, the Association's President, were involved in a series of formal grievances in different schools over an extended period of time against arbitrary policies, and decisions that would have severely restricted access to reading materials for students and in some cases for teachers too.

Although the results of their principled determination to support intellectual freedom principles in a school environment are felt most directly by local students and teaching staff, the courage of Ms. Chaddock-Costello and Mr. Beaudry in opposing school library censorship will serve as a model for all Canadians faced with the evolving crisis in school library services. Mr. Beaudry has said, "If you attack one library in Canada, you attack them all," and it is his and Ms. Chaddock-Costello's commitment to the broader, national perspective that is also recognized in this Award.

Community Highlights


[CFLAannouncement]Communication from the Canadian Federation of Library Associations / Fédération canadienne des associations de bibliothèques (CFLA/FCAB)

At the Canadian Library Association members meeting January 27, 2016, CLA members voted to dissolve the association. This decision was the result of a multi-year process that consulted with CLA members and the broader library community on a solution for an effective national voice for the Canadian library sector. The solution proposed is the creation of CFLA/FCAB.

The vision and scope for this new organization is available in English and French.
Since January, representatives from provincial, territorial, and national associations have been meeting weekly via teleconference to incorporate and create the new CFLA/FCAB. We are excited about this new opportunity for Canada's library community, and we have a lot of work ahead of us! Much of our work to date has been somewhat internal in constructing a legal and corporate framework and foundation for the existence of CFLA/FCAB and includes the following tasks in progress:

  *   Drafting and reviewing by-laws and implementing the steps needed to incorporate
  *   Identifying an inaugural board tasked with setting up the new organization (see below)
  *   Securing member dues and setting up a financial framework
  *   Hiring initial contract support to bring CFLA to operational readiness
  *   Liaising with CLA to steward any CLA initiatives that are within the scope of this new organization

Call for Proposals: Reference Librarianship & Justice: History, Practice & Praxis
Edited by Kate Adler, Ian Beilin & Eamon Tewell
Library Juice Press, Fall 2017

Reference work often receives short shrift in the contemporary discourse and practice of librarianship. Conversations that concern critical pedagogy, social justice, and theory tend to revolve around instruction or cataloging practice. Moreover, reference librarians and reference services themselves seem to be disappearing. Reference Librarianship & Justice: History, Practice & Praxis seeks to stake out a space and make a passionate case for reference work in a manner that is historically, socially and politically compelling. It will highlight the unique position of reference librarianship, a liminal and dialectical space, potentially distinct from the power dynamics of classroom instruction and singular in its mission and practice. At heart, reference is a conversation and partnership. The stakes are significant, not only because of the unique potential for social justice work but because of the risk that the profession is now overlooking reference's central importance.

Please submit the following by July 1, 2016.
