Wednesday, April 17, 12:30 – 1:30 p.m.
Speakers:
Lauren deLaubell, Brian Jirout, Jennifer Parker, and Hilary Wong, Memorial Library
Description:
Faculty seeking continuing appointment, promotion, and awards sometimes wish to demonstrate the impact of their research. Although no one measure is complete or perfect, author impact factors are one way of demonstrating this information. Attendees of this session will learn about free tools for gathering this data, including ORCID, Google Scholar, and the Lens. The presenters will walk attendees through the process of signing up for and beginning to curate their ORCID identifier. Laptops are encouraged. For more information about citation impact, please view the Library’s LibGuide, https://cortland.libguides.com/impact.
National Library Week: The State of America’s Libraries 2023 Report
Thank you for joining the SUNY Cortland Memorial Library in celebrating National Library Week!
To finish out the week here is the American Library Association’s “State of America’s Libraries Report 2023”
https://www.ala.org/news/sites/ala.org.news/files/content/state-of-americas-libraries-report-2023-web-version.pdf
In 2022, the global COVID-19 pandemic entered its third year; political, economic and digital divides grew; and book challenges and bans surged across the country. ALA’s Office for Intellectual Freedom tracked a record 1,269 book challenges, the highest number of demands to ban books reported since they began compiling data about censorship in libraries. But despite all these challenges, libraries thrived, pivoting to offer new and updated services to their communities. Adaptation and innovation shined in 2022, proving that there truly is “more to the story” at libraries.

National Library Week: Outreach
National Library Outreach Day celebrates library outreach and the dedicated library professionals who are meeting their patrons where they are.
National Library Outreach Day is an opportunity for library advocates to make their support known—through thanking library staff, writing a letter or e-mail to their libraries, or voicing their support to community leaders.
National Library Outreach Day is coordinated by the ALA Office for Diversity, Literacy and Outreach Services (ODLOS), the Association of Bookmobile and Outreach Services (ABOS), and the Association for Rural & Small Libraries (ARSL).

National Library Week: Right to Read Da
National Library Week: Monday, April 8th,2024 – Right to Read Day
https://uniteagainstbookbans.org/right-to-read-day/
Over the last few years, censors have accelerated their attempts to remove or restrict books and programs in schools and public libraries. In 2023, the American Library Association documented efforts to censor 4,240 unique book titles in schools and public libraries, a stratospheric increase from 2022’s previous record of 2,571 unique titles. https://uniteagainstbookbans.org/2023-book-bans/
Organized pressure groups have used their power—and long lists of titles—to wage an aggressive campaign to empty library shelves of all books they deem inappropriate instead of allowing people to decide for themselves what they and their children read. These groups have redirected their aim from schools to public libraries, which saw a 92% increase in the number of titles challenged over the previous year. Nearly half of the titles impacted were by or about LGBTQIA+ individuals and people of color. On #RightToReadDay, Monday, April 8, we’re asking you to take action and raise your voice for the right to read.
