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.

IFLA METLIB 2016 Saturday, April 23 to Thursday, April 28, 2016 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.

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.

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 Read more<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001NUjD5yhSCV1mO-2juH66imLRVHhkF5Ygvq38P5XxSA3HxnM4ivyc3DNL-6fQjG1HMzispf1dsutXIiEJMPOHPxtJB2i9Uo-DZHuiaYywkre5jIP3j4y34ztRg9ofbSEKxP6IxKXNDbIaVyjrjHLAT_Vq0b4Rv35tdrrwa8kZV2lhEa8Zw6ZurUsHZRTOaG1reY9eVWcyITd6N8NvhCYAthEANUP9n6xiY6fTS5RM9I6SJ1UQzK6Z7cEj8h4RaRtkprcQeZR7FdWVlwxHR5Z3kTG6ZlAPd43A0-8tcv9KNofED01fNIoBKhtoKxOGrYRDUzLU3eHPHHg=&c=Y6INwtHLPxDmWmkS-rkjCEdkEsdWkMR4HnIauDecvwwbFf0WNUrg9g==&ch=FAsHI-jbCLJ3FQDTaQvjXt2Z2wy_FA6R_lYLXn1xOp3NEl506fy0eA==> The Call for Proposals for the 2017 OLA Super Conference is now open.

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.
