move to the Oregon State Library. The transition team is made up of Darci Hanning (Technology Development Consultant at Oregon State Library), Rachael Short (Answerland Coordinator at Multnomah County Library), and Emily Papagni (Answerland Support Librarian
at Multnomah County Library). The team is guided by the input of the <a href="https://www.answerland.org/advisory-board">

<span class="style101">As part of the transition, Oregon State Library is seeking new software for Answerland. This software will be selected through the State’s Request For Proposals (RFP) process. We plan to provide training on the new software for Answerland
librarians in May and June. </span><br>

Statewide Database Licensing Program’s contract for LearningExpress Library expires in October 2015. The Statewide Database Licensing Advisory Committee (SDLAC) recommended that a testing and skills building online resource continue to be offered through the
SDLP, so the State Library has released a Request for Proposal (RFP) to pursue a new contract. It is expected that SDLAC members will evaluate proposals in March and make a final recommendation to the OSL Board by June 2015. More information about the RFP
can be found at the <a href="http://orpin.oregon.gov/open.dll/welcome">Oregon Procurement Information Network</a> or on the

their January 22nd meeting, the Oregon State Board of Education adopted the <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/oregonschoollibrarystandards/">
Oregon School Library Standards</a> that Oregon Association of School Libraries (OASL) finalized in 2012. How that will affect school libraries is yet to be determined. The OASL ad hoc committee that sought the adoption and OASL’s Oregon School Library Standards
committee will seek more information and develop next steps. In response to the news, MaryKay Dahlgreen, State Librarian, said, “To everyone who worked long and hard on this project, congratulations! This is an important step in the regeneration of school
libraries in Oregon, along with the adopted <a href="http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LTLO/LTLOMar2014/Mar2014LTLO.html">
school library indicators in the district continuous improvement plans</a>. Thank you to everyone who worked on this.” For a history of the development of the standards, read the
