on October 18, 2019 and the Board approved the draft administrative rules on October 19<sup>th</sup>. To view the permanent rules, go to

Robin Puccetti (Director, Independence Public Library) credits the Edge Assessment with helping the library define its niche in the community’s technology and workforce ecosystems. After completing the assessment, Independence Public Library implemented several
changes to its policies to support tech education and employment services in the community, including allowing meeting rooms to be used for job interviews and training. The library also began to take a more active role in joining community conversations around
tech development and pursuing partnerships to enhance the library’s impact on Independence’s evolution into a smart city.<br>
<br>
“There are going to be areas where others in the community were already providing services and doing a good job at it and it’s ok for them to take the lead and for us to publicize their services,” said Puccetti. “For us it’s all about partnerships and collaboration.
It’s a small community, and we all need to work together if we want to have an impact.”<br>
<br>
At the Oregon City Public Library, the Edge Assessment surfaced a need for the library to more effectively convey the health and wellness information and resources the library provides for its community. “The Edge Benchmarks helped me work with our internal
library teams about transitioning our website from only focusing on programming to becoming more of a resource for users,” said Aaron Novinger (Technology and Library Promotion Librarian).<br>
<br>
In addition to providing information and access to federal and statewide resources, the library now provides information about local resources for its community. For example, the library offers information on how to access The Founders Clinic, a nonprofit organization
dedicated to providing quality health care to low-income, uninsured residents in the community. In fact, it is the only clinic in the area that offers medical services at no cost to patients.<br>
<br>
What’s nice about Edge, Novinger remarks, is that it "gives libraries a way to assess themselves and see how they grow, but allows them to do it at their own pace and with their own deadlines.”<br>

Kate Anderson and Max Waddell. Both Kate and Max have been valued State Library staff members for some time, and we are excited that they have joined the GILS division permanently.<br>
<br>
Kate is the new Digitization Specialist for the Government Information and Library Services Division. Most recently, Kate was a Circulation Technician at the State Library of Oregon in the Talking Book and Braille Library Division. She moved to Oregon in 2006,
later attending Western Oregon University to obtain a double degree in Gerontology and Public Policy and Administration, graduating in 2015. Kate hails from Upstate New York, though now considers herself an official Oregonian. She has already jumped into digitizing
and cataloging here at the State Library, and we are very happy to have her! When not at the library, she can be found at home with her dog and partner, baking in her kitchen or searching out new places for them to go hiking.<br>
<br>
Max is now our new Technical and Outreach Specialist. Max has been with the State Library since 2014; first as a volunteer, then as our Collection Maintenance Assistant. He is an Oregon native and University of Oregon alumnus with a degree in history. Max
has probably spent more time with our stacks ghost, Cornelia, than anyone else. She doesn’t scare him one bit. And once, he touched a hummingbird with his bare hands.<br>

Oregon Index Online is a new and powerful heritage tool that points to information about the news, events, and Oregonians that shaped our great state. The index contains citations to articles published in Portland and Salem newspapers, magazines, book chapters,
and more.<br>
<br>
The State Library staff and volunteers began compiling the Oregon Index in the early 20th century and continued to 1987. The oldest entry is from 1877 but most are from 1915 to 1986. State Library staff recently completed making the more than 700,000 cards
in the index available online.<br>
<br>
The State Library of Oregon partnered with the Oregon Department of Revenue to use its high speed/high volume check scanner during down time to scan the cards. After the cards were scanned, the images were prepared and loaded into a viewer for searching and
browsing. The project took a little more than five years to finish. You can find Oregon Index Online in the State Library’s Digital Collections at
<a href="https://oregon.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=91dd1172fce9a235a5e993c03&id=074b222d08&e=406c966ff4">
<b><span style="color:#1C1C86;text-decoration:none">https://digital.osl.state.or.us/islandora/object/osl:or_index</span></b></a> and a corresponding
<a href="https://oregon.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=91dd1172fce9a235a5e993c03&id=e76912a129&e=406c966ff4">
<b><span style="color:#1C1C86;text-decoration:none">Infoguide on the background and using the index</span></b></a>.<br>
<br>
Some of the cards use archaic language that may have been considered appropriate when the citations were created, but could be jarring to library users today. The cards have been digitized and posted without altering the content. Researchers will find terminology
as it was used in its time and can follow changes over time.<br>
<br>
There will be an Oregon Index Digital Launch Celebration on November 19 at 2:00 pm on the second floor of the State Library of Oregon building. Library staff, board members, state employees, researchers, and the general public are invited. RSVPs are kindly
requested at <a href="https://oregon.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=91dd1172fce9a235a5e993c03&id=8d17b99178&e=406c966ff4">
