***Oregon Authors
Librarians & librarian supporters! Please forward this announcement to interested authors and  readers & writers groups:

The Oregon Library Association (OLA) and the Oregon Center for the Book have launched a new website for Oregon authors:  http://www.oregonauthors.org/
This website features Oregon authors’ books, their websites, and their photographs or covers of their latest books! If you would like to create your own page about your book publications, just click on Browse Authors on the left-hand column, then click on “send us your information” to register for your page at  the Oregon Authors website.

Once the Oregon Authors Committee of the OLA has vetted your information, you will receive a log on and password to access your webpage. Log on and add your titles with the bibliographic information, then submit the entries for verification by the Oregon Authors committee, who will in turn, edit for further citation information.  The Oregon Authors website is a great way to get the word out about your work!  The Oregon Authors Website is supported in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services through the Library Services and Technology Act, administered by the Oregon State Library.
