Message-ID: 

Dear members,

The message below is sent by Mary Langman from MLA and requires action before Tuesday Sept. 14th, 2010. It takes only a few minutes to contact the office of your senators and ask them to vote "NO" on the Johanns amendment. Detailed information is included.

Thanks,

Dear GRC and Legislative Task Force Members,

CONTACT CONGRESS BY TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14TH AND
URGE THEM TO VOTE NO ON THE JOHANNS AMENDMENT
Background Information

The Coalition for Health Funding < http://www.aamc.org/advocacy/healthfunding/start.htm> has issued an action alert asking the health and biosciences community to contact your Senators to vote No on the Johanns amendment which would jeopardize federal health funding.  MLA and AAHSL have signed onto Coalition letters and statements in the past in support of increased funding for federal health programs.

The Prevention and Public Health Fundestablished through the Affordable Care Act (ACA) to provide a multi-billion dollar, guaranteed funding stream for programs authorized by the Public Health Service Act that advance public healthis under attack and at great risk of elimination. On Tuesday, September 14, the U.S. Senate will consider an amendment introduced by Sen. Mike Johanns of Nebraska to the Small Business Jobs and Prevention Act of 2010. Johanns proposes using the Prevention and Public Health Fund to offset the cost of repealing a 1099 reporting requirement established by ACA, which generates tax revenue to pay for a portion of the cost of extending health insurance coverage to the uninsured.

To date, the Fund has provided support for programs at the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Agency for Health Research Quality (AHRQ), Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), and throughout HHS. In FY 2011, the proposed allocation of the $750 million available would support cities, states, nonprofit organizations, community health centers, hospitals, clinics, and universities to provide public health services, build the work force, improve the infrastructure, and conduct scientific research in prevention and public health.

The Prevention and Public Health Fund allows appropriators to fund priorities in prevention and public health, which then frees up discretionary funding for other health programs. As appropriators said recently, "We could not have increased Labor-HHS by as much as we did in FY 2011 if not for the Fund." And in the current fiscal environment where non-defense discretionary programs are at increased risk of cuts, it is important to preserve ANY AND ALL funding dedicated to health.

What You Can Do

Before Tuesday's vote, please contact your Senators and urge them to vote NO on the Johanns amendment. Chapter and Section Liaisons, please forward this to your advocacy listservs as well.

Trust for America's Health has created a hub with resources to help you help your constituents protect the Fund ( http://www.healthyamericans.org/health-reform). Specifically, on this site you will find:

1.       An e-mail alert you can share with your grassroots, or you can use to create your own: http://capwiz.com/healthyam/issues/alert/?alertid=15606156&PROCESS=Take+Action/ .

2.     Background materials on the Johanns amendment, including text of the amendment itself ( http://healthyamericans.org/assets/files/Johanns.pdf) and the text of the proposed Democratic alternative, which does NOT rely on the Fund as an offset ( http://healthyamericans.org/assets/files/Nelson.pdf)

3.       Talking points on the value of prevention and public health and the Fund itself ( http://healthyamericans.org/assets/files/Talking%20Points.pdf), as well as the potential of the Fund to increase business' bottom lines by reducing overall health care costs: http://healthyamericans.org/assets/files/PreventionFundandSmallBusiness.pdf These talking points will be helpful to you in making calls and drafting letters.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Subject: [mla-nynj] New Funding Supports Critical Access and Rural Hospitals
 in Converting to Electronic Health Records
Message-ID: 

FYI

GRC and Task Force Members.  Some of your institutions may be interested in this announcement.

Today, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius announced nearly $20 million in new technical support assistance to help critical access and rural hospital facilities convert from paper-based medical records to certified electronic health record (EHR) technology.

This funding is being awarded to 46 Regional Extension Centers (RECs) in 41 states and the nationwide Indian Country. The program is intended to provide additional support for staffing and expertise to assist critical access and rural hospitals with fewer than 50 beds in selecting and implementing EHR systems primarily within the outpatient setting. A total of 1,655 critical access and rural hospitals stand to benefit from this special assistance. By converting to certified EHR technology, these facilities can qualify for substantial additional incentive payments from Medicare or Medicaid.

For more information about the new funding to support critical access and rural hospitals, visit http://healthit.hhs.gov/RuralHealth. For information about RECs, visit http://healthit.hhs.gov/extensionprogram. Follow us on Twitter @ ONC_HealthIT.

Dear GRC and Legislative Task Force Members,
Some of you may be interested in this new IMLS funding opportunity.
Description:
The citizens and communities served by libraries, archives, and museums now are offered an increasing variety of choice for information sources and services. In this environment, cultural heritage organizations are challenged to respond to changing user needs and expectations, and to make more productive use of the money, staff, and other resources they are given to serve their users. Innovation will be a key determinant of their success. The IMLS Sparks! Ignition Grants for Libraries and Museums are a new IMLS funding opportunity within the National Leadership Grants program. These grants encourage libraries, archives, and museums to challenge existing assumptions about how they operate and the services they provide. These small grants support the deployment, testing, and evaluation of promising and groundbreaking new tools, products, services, or organizational practices. Applicants may propose activities or approaches that involve risk, as long as the risk is balanced by significant potential for improvement in the ways cultural heritage institutions serve their communities. Successful proposals will address problems, challenges, or needs of broad relevance to libraries, archives, and/or museums, will test innovative responses to these problems, and will make the findings of these tests widely and openly accessible.

Do you want to demonstrate the impact of your library on patient care? Join a study on the Value of Library and Information Services in Patient Care sponsored by the National Network of Libraries of Medicine (NN/LM) Middle Atlantic Region (MAR) and conducted by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (http://nnlm.gov/mar/about/value.html).

The members of the study team hope that many of you in the Middle Atlantic Region are able to participate.  Due to additional grant funding, the study will likely be opened to participants from other regions that have expressed interest; however, MAR participants will have priority. Please consider joining your colleagues in demonstrating the value of libraries in patient care!

Using an online survey and interviews, the study will investigate the impact of library resources and services on clinical decision-making. Study facilitators will be asked to identify an institutional champion to help promote the study, and to distribute the online survey to physicians, residents, and nurses in their institution. The survey will be launched
in March 2011.

If you are interested in participating, please complete the Study Participation Interest Form today (http://nnlm.gov/mar/about/valueinterest.html). You will be contacted by the study team regarding your library's eligibility, and about how to get started.  If you would like a mentor to provide support and answer questions, one of the study team members will be happy to work closely with you.

Please contact MAR Network Services Coordinator Neil Romanosky neil.romanosky at med.nyu.edu  or MAR Planning and Evaluation Coordinator Sue Hunter sue.hunter at med.nyu.edu with questions about the study.

reinventing their models of service?

*       Changing Economic Issues: How are librarians doing more with less?
*       Changing Technology: Social Media/Educational Media/Electronic Medical Records
*       Changing Perceptions: How are libraries demonstrating their value within their institutions?
*       Changing Spaces:  Current and future look of the library space

ACRL/NY Annual Symposium

Innovation by Design: Revisioning the Library -- Friday, December 10, 2010

Design impacts everything we do.  What does this mean for libraries?  Design comes into play as we craft our collections, create instruction programs, construct user-centered websites, renovate buildings, and redesign our policies.  It mediates our information-seeking behavior, connects us with both students and faculty, and influences our interactions with our physical environment.  This year's symposium looks at design in academic libraries from four very different perspectives.  Come join the conversation.

For more information, visit our website: http://acrlnysymp2010.wordpress.com/

Registration will open on October 4th.

Location:
The William and Anita Newman Vertical Campus Conference Center
Baruch College
55 Lexington Avenue (at 24th Street) Room 14-220 (14th floor)
New York, NY

We hope to see you there.

Friends/Colleagues:

The MLA Board of Directors approved revisions that will allow chapters and 
sections to vote electronically for amendments to their bylaws. Currently, 
members of chapters and sections have to vote in person at annual meetings to do 

so. If we vote 'yea' for the revision we will no longer have to wait for the 
annual meetings to vote; we can vote electronically at any time so long as the 
membership has been notified of any changes thirty (30) days prior to the 
voting. This revision will also bring Article X in line with the other 
previously revised sections of our bylaws that provide for electronic 
communications (see: Article IV, Section I; Article V, Section 3, Part D, 
)  

Our 2010 Annual Meeting will be held at the Yonkers Riverfront Public Library on 

October 6, at which time we will vote--in person--on this proposed change to our 

bylaws.

Currently, Article X of the bylaws reads:

ARTICLE X.  AMENDMENT OF BYLAWS

These Bylaws may be amended at any meeting of the Chapter by a two-thirds vote 
of members present, provided an announcement of the proposed amendment shall 
have been distributed to all members at least thirty (30) days prior to the 
meeting at which the vote shall be taken.

The revised text reads:

ARTICLE X. Amendment of Bylaws

These bylaws may be amended by a two-thirds vote, provided that the amendment 
has been submitted in writing to the membership at least thirty (30) days prior 
to the vote being taken. [Refer to the current edition of Robert's Rules of 
Order.]

**** Note the deletion of "...of members present" in the revised text.

I look forward to seeing all of you at the meeting; have a good last-few-weeks 
of summer.

Subject: [mla-nynj] Congress Passes CR Appropriations Bill
Message-ID: 

Dear members,

I'd like to share the following information just received from the desk of Mary Langman.

Best,
Mahnaz

SEPTEMBER 30, 2010

MEMORANDUM

TO:     THE JOINT LEGISLATIVE TASK FORCE AND THE MLA GOVERNMENT RELATIONS COMMITTEE

FR:     DALE DIRKS AND TERRELL BAPTISTE

RE:     CONTINUING RESOLUTION APPROPRIATIONS BILL

Yesterday, the Congress acted on a stopgap appropriations bill, known as a continuing resolution (CR), which temporarily funds the federal government until December 3rd.  The U.S. Senate passed H.R. 3081 by a vote of 69-30 in the afternoon.  The House took the measure up overnight and passed the identical measure by a vote of 228 to 194.  This funding bill must be signed by President Barack Obama by midnight tonight, the last day of the fiscal year, in order to keep the federal government open and functioning.

This CR is a "straight" appropriations billmeaning that the funding levels for almost all government programs will remain at the current (FY 2010) funding level until December 3rd.  After the November elections, the Congress will reconvene to attempt to pass the FY 2011 appropriations bills.  During this lame duck session, Congress will either pass appropriations bills individually or as part of an omnibus measure.  There is always the possibility of another continuing resolution beyond December 3rd.
