Oregon Heritage Commiseration Call: Planning Reopening, June 3, 1pm

Join us June 3, 1-2pm, for Commiseration Call 5: “Planning to Reopen”

On our call two weeks ago, we “Imagined reopening” together. A lot of good dialog focused on specific questions came up. Meanwhile, things have been changing rapidly in Oregon: some heritage organizations have already reopened and others are making the nuts and bolts decisions needed to reopen. We also learned that museum guidelines drafted by a committee of the Cultural Advocacy Coalition have been submitted to the Oregon Health Authority.

Join us for a conversation specific to three areas you will need to be prepared for:
1) creating organizational policies for safety
2) setting internal and external expectations for reopening
3) managing visitors when you reopen. We will provide specific resources and tools to reference.

We will be referring to guidelines that have already been released, such as retail guidelines and summer camp guidelines, and adapting the conversation if museum guidelines have been approved and released by the time this call takes place.

Questions, ideas, and concerns are welcome. This is a chance to brainstorm as a group.

Add the following to your calendar!

Vanport Mosaic featured in impact of heritage video

Remember that 2020 Oregon Heritage Conference that was cancelled? It had a really cool theme: The Power of Heritage! (we imagined a big booming voice saying it with maybe a thunder noise and an echo attached to it). We thought it would be pretty awesome to have some specific stories of the impact heritage has on the community, people doing the work and those being impacted by the work. Maureen Battistella with Southern Oregon University put together these awesome videos with great examples of the impact of heritage across the state that we planned to use during the conference.

Little did we know that they would take on even greater importance during this time as heritage organization, like every other organization/business/public service/etc., are striving to survive and recover from the pandemic. The value of heritage is a case that needs to made by all heritage organizations. We have six videos that we will begin to share with all of you and hopefully they can help you understand the impact of heritage and begin to identify your own stories to use in your own messaging.

The first video we are sharing with you focuses on Vanport Mosaic. Please enjoy and share and be inspired.

A big thank you to Maureen Battistella for her working putting this together. She was involved with the Oregon Heritage Excellence Award<https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/pages/awards.aspx> winning project Stories of Southern Oregon<https://soda.sou.edu/stories/index.html>.

Business Oregon launches website connecting businesses with PPE suppliers

Following information was taken from https://www.oregon4biz.com/Coronavirus-Information/#reopen

“Oregon PPE Network (OPPEN)
Supply Connector
The Supply Connector<https://supplyconnector.org/states/oregon/> resource is Business Oregon’s collaborative project to connect businesses and communities with Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) manufacturers and suppliers to fight the spread of COVID-19 and keep employees safe. This tool provides a searchable database of businesses we have identified that can help provide PPE. The system also serves to connect businesses up and down the supply chain from raw materials, manufacturing needs, packaging, distribution, etc.

Business Oregon also has a smaller list<https://www.oregon4biz.com/Coronavirus-Information/PPE.php> available for direct PPE suppliers to small business customers. These companies have provided their information to us, but we have not independently verified company capabilities or inventories. Understand also inventories will certainly fluctuate.” (https://www.oregon4biz.com/Coronavirus-Information/#reopen)

AALSH revisits and updates position paper on capitalization of collection

Last week the AASLH Council adopted a revised and re-titled position paper to replace the outdated "Capitalization of Collections" paper published more than fifteen years ago. "Valuing History Collections" explains the association’s longstanding position on treatment of collections as educational and cultural assets, not financial assets, as well as the issue of using proceeds generated from the sale of deaccessioned collection items. The paper offers guidance for discussing these important issues with governing bodies and with the public.

A webinar about creating and delivering a webinar 😊

Be an Engaging Webinar Leader: Create and Deliver Better Virtual Presentations
Presented by Lyrasis in partnership with San Jose State University
July 1, 2020, 1pm
$50 for members/$75 for non-members
More info and registration<https://www.lyrasis.org/Content/Pages/Event-Details.aspx?Eid=0C7B9CD7-0B9A-EA11-80EB-00155DE5EC03>

Description:
Does it seem your inbox is bursting with announcements for webinars? With face-to-face conferencing ground to a halt during social distancing, professional development has transitioned to an almost entirely virtual experience. Unfortunately, it’s often an underwhelming and disappointing one. Monotone speakers. Loads of bullet point slides—and presenters who just read them—or notes that are drier than dust. Effective in-person teaching and presenting skills are not automatically transferable to the virtual space as evidenced in many webinars.
If you anticipate delivering more webinars and virtual presentations, you can decide to do better. That means learning to be an engaging webinar leader who offers their attendees a dynamic, memorable learning experience. Workshop attendees will take away basic skills and practices that can lead them to design and deliver more engaging webinars. From understanding how and why webinars present special challenges to presenters, to how to start off and wrap up a webinar, to pacing and integration of activation methods, to leveraging the technology of different presentation platforms, attendees will get practical advice and tips from webinar leader Steven Bell, whose experience includes hundreds of webinars, virtual conference keynotes and online workshops.

The outlook for the current and post-coronavirus landscape is that webinars and virtual presentations are likely to emerge as the standard for remote professional development for the foreseeable future. We all need to commit to making them a better user experience. Our colleagues deserve that much. Librarians who attend this one-hour program will be doing their part by committing to be the best possible webinar presenter.

Learning Outcomes
At the end of the session, participants should be able to:
-Differentiate the special qualities of webinars from in-person presentations that require presenters to prepare their content and delivery for the virtual environment
-Incorporate a set of new skills and techniques into their existing presentation repertoire that will enable them to be a more effective and high-impact webinar presenter
-Achieve a higher level of comfort with online presentation platforms, use of video, having a presentation recorded, and other web-presentation technologies that are crucial to a successful webinar
-Identify a variety of engagement practices that are useful for designing more interactive webinars and virtual presentations.
