<p>As for the Libs-OR rule, If we're to use the list "f<span>or the sharing of information about the Oregon library community" might we make the change to officially be allowed to discuss local/state politicians and ballot measures that affect the library community?</span></p>
<p><span><br>
</span></p>
<p><span>Previously important discussions which I can think of include the ballot measures in Josephine and Douglas counties, the ongoing struggle in Wallowa county to create a library district, last year's win for the 5-year levy in Tillamook county, and last
(but definitely not least) the surprising firing of M<span>aryKay Dahlgreen.</span></span></p>
<p><span><span><br>
</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>These (and others, of course) are issues that should be discussed amongst library folk - whether or not this is the place for those discussions I leave to folks smarter than me.</span></span></p>

Your LIBS-OR moderators have been monitoring the recent discussion about LIBS-OR policy on the posting of political information. As has been quoted in other posts, here the current policy language:</p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
</p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
<i>This list is intended for the sharing of information about the Oregon library community. Possible uses are gift offerings, job announcements, meeting announcements, conference announcements, general training opportunities, and questions about library-related
issues.</i></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
<i> </i></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
<i>Messages that relate in any way to political campaigns of candidates for public office or ballot measures may not be posted to libs-or. Nor should messages be posted that advocate for or against an issue that may come before the Legislative Assembly, the
Executive Branch or the Judicial Branch of the State of Oregon. This prohibition does not apply to issues before the Congress of the United States or other branches of the Federal government.</i></p>

This language has not been reviewed in some time. Given the recent discussion, the State Library has decided to review the current policy to make sure it is clear and reflects current law and guidelines. We welcome any suggestions from the library community
to clarify or improve the language. Please send your suggestions directly to me at:
