<div>==UX==<br />
<br />
''Notes by @erinrwhite again. Y'all cannot escape me''<br />
<br />
NCSU's UX department is cross-functional and has members from across departments. Looking at creating cross-channel experiences from digital to real life. Working on consistency across experiences. Expanded on UMich's UX department to create a UX research team.<br />
<br />
Research: the NCSU does a research project every month. NCSU is also training new library fellows to infuse User Experience work into their projects. Growing the culture of UX within the organization.<br />
<br />
===Process===<br />
<br />
How do you work in harmony with a dev team when sometimes the UX team can be the roadblock to development? Need to get a workflow that works so that everyone can move quickly. <br />
<br />
UXing web pages vs. entire web applications: they're totally different experiences so need different approaches to user experience evaluation.<br />
<br />
===Research===<br />
<br />
Guerrilla research: go out into the public spaces of your library to test prototypes or design ideas. Make it quick. User research doesn't have to be a huge deal. <br />
<br />
If you can't give money as remuneration, give 'em candy bars. But make the candy bars full-size, not the minis. <br />
<br />
===Librarians are users too...right?===<br />
<br />
How do we push back against librarians' assertions that pages/interfaces should look a certain way?<br />
<br />
Research with users can *sometimes* help.<br />
<br />
Need to communicate your evidence to your library. UT hired someone last year just to do IT communication (!). <br />
<br />
Numbers don't always work. Need a visual tool if possible (i.e. a heatmap). If you can compile a video or audio of user interviews or usability testing, that can be very powerful.<br />
<br />
===Resources===<br />
<br />
Recommendation: 37Signals' book [https://gettingreal.37signals.com/ Getting Real] on helping choose things that are/aren't important and moving on.<br />
<br />
===Publish your damn work!===<br />
<br />
As a community, we need to get better about sharing our work with each other so we don't have to keep reinventing the wheel.<br />

==Unusual searches & long searches==<br />
Willow Oak<br />
<br />
This group met to talk about unusual searches, especially extremely long searches, copied and pasted citations, and other issues related to serving niche searches.<br />
<br />
Some of the possible solutions include:<br />
<br />
*Looking for DOI, ISBN or other identifiers in the query, extract these, and make the request to a service using these IDs.<br />
*Remove extraneous characters from the beginning of a string that may indicate copied and pasted text.<br />
*Truncate a long query at a certain character length (80 to 100?) assuming that the most useful text appears at the start of the query.<br />
*Use a regex to identify a citation by detecting some combination of words commonly used in citations (Vol., Iss., pp.), four digit years, and other combinations of numbers.<br />
**It would be useful to test this regex against a search corpus to check for false matches.<br />
**Once a citation is identified either certain characters could be removed from the query or a citation parser such as the Brown's FreeCite [http://freecite.library.brown.edu/].<br />
<br />
Other things noted:<br />
<br />
*If you truncate a query don't truncate in the middle of a word or else recall may be worse.<br />
*Log queries that provide zero hit as way to find types of queries that may need some post processing.<br />
*Is there way to provide smarter, live results for libraries for thing such as library hours, similar to the way Google provides live flight tracking information directly in the results list.<br />
<br />
==ResCarta==<br />
We gathered in the ballroom and had an active conversation about the philosophy of keeping archives in a reduced set of file formats with standardized metadata. We reviewed directory structures and METS collection level details.<br />
For a future reduction of coding and costs we advise the reduction of file formats (normalization) on ingestion into a structured archive.<br />
<br />
Justin from Artefactual shared their philosophy and thoughts on use of METS collection level file contents.<br />
<br />
Historically systems like NDNP are gate keeper validation systems and we should be building digital archive creation systems. Build to a standard under code control rather than code to check hand made datasets.<br />

== Digital Preservation ==<br />
<br />
Cost issues, billing departments, charging grant projects one-time vs. multiple<br />
<br />
Internal vs. external hosting<br />
<br />
Trusted Digital Repository, TRAC, ISO standard<br />
<br />
Geographic distribution, what does that actually mean<br />
<br />
? who is using checksums and how often they are verifying<br />
<br/>UNC - make sure checksums checked every quarter, throttle/stagger checking<br />
<br />
? Has anyone had checksum checks fail? <br />
<br/>only time is user error, checking wrong one, files are changed after initial checksum<br />
<br />
video - frame-level checksum, part of ffmpeg, make frame level information and checksum that<br />
<br />
? how much code/time is done to check on problems with checksums? <br />
<br/>manual vs. auto repair, prefer manual intervention<br />
<br />
how often to check tapes, without further damaging tape<br />
<br />
for testing, there's a tool that will flip bits<br />
<br/>disaster recovery testing<br />
<br/>hesitance to test/break files on production <br />
<br />
ZFS, self-healing filesystem, replication (worried about replicating checksum errors)<br />
<br />
? about viruses, malicious scripts<br />
<br/>UNC runs ClamAV on everything, does make sure everyone is authorized user<br />
<br />
AV Artifact Atlas - visual glossary of damage types to a/v files<br />
<br />
tape backup of everything can take too long to run (days)<br />
<br/>rely on multiple copies of objects on disk<br />
<br />
format migrations - no one has really done it yet<br />
<br/>archivematica wiki is great resource<br />
<br />
normalization on ingest<br />
<br/>emulation as a service - possible collaboration in community<br />
<br/>internet archive emulation service using javascript/jsmess<br />

=== Major issues for Digital Preservation ===<br />
* storage (terabytes coming in each year, no cost-effective solutions for growing needs)<br />
* staffing (for smaller institutions)<br />
* funding model/sustainability (some charge for services, some funding by Campus IT)<br />
** research data, grants, data management planning tool<br />
** how long can we offer to store files<br />
** trying to convince Provost that library storage is like library shelf space and needs to be funded<br />
** split funding, from graduate schools or president's office<br />
* some work on service level agreements, tiers of service<br />
* file retrievals may not be tracked anywhere, if so can't tell what hasn't been retrieved<br />

* Contact [[User:bibliotechy|Chad Nelson]], chadbnelson@gmail.com<br />
<br />
[http://openrefine.org/ Open Refine] is a powerful open source tool for wrangling messy data that can also be used to help in the creation of Linked Data via the [https://github.com/OpenRefine/OpenRefine/wiki/Reconciliation-Service-API Reconciliation API]. It is possible to write reconciliation services against API's, like the [http://iphylo.blogspot.com/2013/04/reconciling-author-names-using-open.html VIAF service] or, even just against local authority files for helping maintain authority control<br />
<br />
The session would first introduce Open Refine, then walk through building a reconciliation service, and the rest of the session would be a hackfest where we build new reconciliation services for public consumption or local use. <br />

'''"Half-Day [Afternoon]"''' <br />
* Contact Jim Hahn, University of Illinois, jimfhahn@gmail.com<br />
* Contact David Ward, University of Illinois, dh-ward@illinois.edu<br />
<br />
This structured hackfest will give attendees an opportunity to explore methods to create responsive mobile apps using the Bootstrap framework [http://getbootstrap.com/]and a set of APIs for accessing library data. We will start with an API template for creating space-based mobile tools that draw from work coming out of the IMLS funded Student/Library Collaborative grant [http://www.library.illinois.edu/nlg_student_apps]. Available APIs will include a room reservation template and codebase for implementing at any campus and the set of Minrva catalog APIs generating JSONP [http://minrvaproject.org/services.php]. <br />
<br />
Hosts will give a brief report of a study on student hacking projects and interests in mobile library apps that are the basis for the templates utilized in this Hackathon. By the end of the pre-conference attendees will have a sample responsive mobile web app in Bootstrap 3 to bring back to their campus which can plug into their site-based content.<br />

<br />
The task of design (and the work that we do as library coders) is intimately tied to failure. Failures, both big and small, motivate us to create and improve. Failures are also occasionally the result of our work. Understanding and embracing failure, encouraging enlightened risk-taking, and seeking out opportunities to fail and learn are essential to success in our field. At Fail4Lib, we'll talk about our own experiences with projects gone wrong, explore some famous design failures in the real world, and talk about how we can come to terms with the reality of failure, to make it part of our creative process -- rather than something to be feared.<br />
<br />
The schedule may include the following:<br />
<br />
* Case studies. We'll look at some classic failures from the literature: What can we learn from the mistakes of others?<br />
* Confessionals, for those willing to share. Talk about your own experiences with rough starts, labor pains, and doomed projects in your own work: What can we learn from our own (and each others') failures?<br />
* Group therapy. Let's talk about how to deal with risk management, failed projects, experimental endeavors, and more: How can we make ourselves, our colleagues, and our organizations more fault tolerant? How do we make sure we fail as productively as possible?<br />

* Robert Warren, rwarren (at) math.carleton.ca<br />
<br />
We will hack at the intersection of diverse content from Libraries, Archives and Museums and bleeding edge tools from computational linguistics for slicing and dicing that content. Did you just acquire the email archives of a startup company? Maybe you can automatically build an org chart. Have you got metadata in a slew of languages? Perhaps you can search it all using one query. Is name authority control for e-resources getting too costly? Let’s see if entity linking techniques can help. These are just a few teasers. <br />
<br />
There’ll be plenty of content and tools supplied, but please bring your own [data] too -- you’ll hack with it in new ways throughout the day. We’ll get started with some lightning talks on what we’ve brought,then we’ll break up into groups to experiment and work on the ideas that appeal. Three guaranteed outcomes: you’ll walk away with new ideas, new tools, and new people you’ll have met.<br />

<br />
Do you have digitized maps, GIS datasets like Shapefiles, aerial photography,<br />
etc., all of which you want to integrate into your digital repository? In this<br />
workshop, we will discuss how Hydra can provide discovery, delivery, and<br />
management services for geospatial assets, as well as solicit questions about<br />
your own GIS projects. We aim to help answer the following questions you might have about putting geospatial data into your Hydra-based digital library:<br />
<br />
* What are the types of geospatial data?<br />
* How to dive into Hydra?<br />
* How to model geospatial holdings with Hydra?<br />
* How to discover and view geospatial data?<br />
* How to build a geospatial data infrastructure?<br />
* What are common approaches and problems?<br />

===Technology, Librarianship, and Gender: Moving the conversation forward===<br />
'''Full Day'''<br />
<br />
Contact: Lisa Rabey lisa @ biblyotheke dot net | [http://twitter.com/pnkrcklibrarian @pnkrcklibrarian]<br />
<br />
'''Description'''<br />
<br />
Librarianship is largely made up of women, yet women are significantly underrepresented in tech positions, on any level, within libraries themselves. Why? What are we doing to encourage women to become more involved in STEM within librarianship? What kind of message are we sending when library technology keynotes remain almost resolutely male? How are we changing the face of technology, not only within libraries, but with the field itself? How are we training our staff and colleagues in the areas of fairness and removal of bias? Our vendors?<br />
<br />
Lots of tough questions.<br />
<br />
While the conversation has been going on via various blogs and articles within the last few years, it was given a public face at [http://infotoday.com/il2013/day.asp?day=Monday#session_D105 Internet Librarian 2013] where a panel of 7 (four women, three men) gave personal experiences on the above and then opened up the conversation to the audience. As eye opening and enriching the conversation was, a 45 minute panel was not enough. One thing remains clear: We need to keep the conversation moving forward and start making some radical changes in the way we think, act, and how we need to harness this to start making real changes within librarianship itself.<br />
<br />
Topics to include: Fairness, bias, impostor syndrome, code of conducts, sexual harassment, training opportunities, support systems, mentoring, ally support, and more<br />
<br />
Those attending should expect: Begin with opening up the conversation of experiences and talking about what is most needed, spending remaining time putting together live, usable solutions to start implementing as well as pushing the conversation forward at local levels<br />

===FileAnalyzer: Rapid Development of File Manipulation Tasks===<br />
'''"Half-Day" [morning]'''<br />
* Contact Terry Brady, twb27@georgetown.edu<br />
<br />
The FileAnalyzer (https://github.com/Georgetown-University-Libraries/File-Analyzer) is an application designed to solve a number of library automation challenges:<br />
<br />
* validating digitized and reformatted files<br />
* validating vendor statistics for counter compliance<br />
* preparing collections of digital files for archiving and ingest<br />
* manipulating ILS import and export files<br />
<br />
The File Analyzer application was used by the US National Archives to validate 3.5 million digitized images from the 1940 Census. After implementing a customized ingest workflow within the File Analyzer, the Georgetown University Libraries was able to process an ingest backlog of over a thousand files of digital resources into DigitalGeorgetown, the Libraries’ Digital Collections and Institutional Repository platform. Georgetown is currently developing customized workflows that integrate Apache Tika, BagIt, and Marc conversion utilities.<br />
<br />
The File Analyzer is a desktop application with a powerful framework for implementing customized file validation and transformation rules. As new rules are deployed, they are presented to users within a user interface that is easy (and powerful) to use.<br />
<br />
The first half of this session will be targeted to potential users and developers. The second half of the session will be targeted towards developers who are interested in developing custom rules for the application.<br />
<br />
''Session Overview''<br />
* Overview of the application<br />
* Running sample file tests/transformations through the application<br />
* Compiling and building the application<br />
* Coding a custom file processing task<br />
<br />

Social media data is a popular material for research and a new format for building collections. What does it take to collect meaningfully from Twitter, Tumblr, YouTube, Weibo, Facebook, and other sites? We will:<br />
* Introduce options for collections, including both high- and low-end commercial offerings. Discuss what it means to collect these resources, covering boundaries, policies, and workflows required to develop a social media collection program in your institution.<br />
* Explore the Twitter API in depth, with hands-on opportunities for those w/laptops and others who want to team up w/them<br />
* Help you get started using the free [http://gwu-libraries.github.io/social-feed-manager Social Feed Manager] (SFM) app we're developing at GW to create your first collections. We’ll demo its use and demo a clean install (those w/environments can follow along)<br />

===Obey the Testing Goat!: Test Driven Web Development From The Ground Up===<br />
'''Half-Day [tbd - probably afternoon]'''<br />
* Contact [[User:Mredar|Mark Redar]], mredar[at]gmail.com<br />
<br />
Test driven development is a proven method for producing better quality code. But I've found it hard to follow a strict TDD methodology when starting new web projects. How do you write that first test when there is no code or web pages created yet.<br />
<br />
In this session, we will follow the excellent book [http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920029533.do "Test-Driven Web Development with Python"] to create a simple web site in Django following TDD from the first character typed. Come ready to code and test. No prior knowledge of python or Django required.<br />
<br />
By the end of this session, you should be able to [http://www.obeythetestinggoat.com/ "Obey the Testing Goat"] from the start to finish for your next project.<br />

[http://openrefine.org/ Open Refine] is a powerful open source tool for wrangling messy data that can also be used to help in the creation of Linked Data via the [https://github.com/OpenRefine/OpenRefine/wiki/Reconciliation-Service-API Reconciliation API]. It is possible to write reconciliation services against API's, like the [http://iphylo.blogspot.com/2013/04/reconciling-author-names-using-open.html VIAF service] or, even just against local authority files for helping maintain authority control<br />
<br />
The session would first introduce Open Refine, then walk through building a reconciliation service, and the rest of the session would be a hackfest where we build new reconciliation services for public consumption or local use. <br />

'''"Half-Day [Afternoon]"''' <br />
* Contact Jim Hahn, University of Illinois, jimfhahn@gmail.com<br />
* Contact David Ward, University of Illinois, dh-ward@illinois.edu<br />
<br />
This structured hackfest will give attendees an opportunity to explore methods to create responsive mobile apps using the Bootstrap framework [http://getbootstrap.com/]and a set of APIs for accessing library data. We will start with an API template for creating space-based mobile tools that draw from work coming out of the IMLS funded Student/Library Collaborative grant [http://www.library.illinois.edu/nlg_student_apps]. Available APIs will include a room reservation template and codebase for implementing at any campus and the set of Minrva catalog APIs generating JSONP [http://minrvaproject.org/services.php]. <br />
<br />
Hosts will give a brief report of a study on student hacking projects and interests in mobile library apps that are the basis for the templates utilized in this Hackathon. By the end of the pre-conference attendees will have a sample responsive mobile web app in Bootstrap 3 to bring back to their campus which can plug into their site-based content.<br />

<br />
The task of design (and the work that we do as library coders) is intimately tied to failure. Failures, both big and small, motivate us to create and improve. Failures are also occasionally the result of our work. Understanding and embracing failure, encouraging enlightened risk-taking, and seeking out opportunities to fail and learn are essential to success in our field. At Fail4Lib, we'll talk about our own experiences with projects gone wrong, explore some famous design failures in the real world, and talk about how we can come to terms with the reality of failure, to make it part of our creative process -- rather than something to be feared.<br />
<br />
The schedule may include the following:<br />
<br />
* Case studies. We'll look at some classic failures from the literature: What can we learn from the mistakes of others?<br />
* Confessionals, for those willing to share. Talk about your own experiences with rough starts, labor pains, and doomed projects in your own work: What can we learn from our own (and each others') failures?<br />
* Group therapy. Let's talk about how to deal with risk management, failed projects, experimental endeavors, and more: How can we make ourselves, our colleagues, and our organizations more fault tolerant? How do we make sure we fail as productively as possible?<br />

* Robert Warren, rwarren (at) math.carleton.ca<br />
<br />
We will hack at the intersection of diverse content from Libraries, Archives and Museums and bleeding edge tools from computational linguistics for slicing and dicing that content. Did you just acquire the email archives of a startup company? Maybe you can automatically build an org chart. Have you got metadata in a slew of languages? Perhaps you can search it all using one query. Is name authority control for e-resources getting too costly? Let’s see if entity linking techniques can help. These are just a few teasers. <br />
<br />
There’ll be plenty of content and tools supplied, but please bring your own [data] too -- you’ll hack with it in new ways throughout the day. We’ll get started with some lightning talks on what we’ve brought,then we’ll break up into groups to experiment and work on the ideas that appeal. Three guaranteed outcomes: you’ll walk away with new ideas, new tools, and new people you’ll have met.<br />

Do you have digitized maps, GIS datasets like Shapefiles, aerial photography,<br />
etc., all of which you want to integrate into your digital repository? In this<br />
workshop, we will discuss how Hydra can provide discovery, delivery, and<br />
management services for geospatial assets, as well as solicit questions about<br />
your own GIS projects. We aim to help answer the following questions you might have about putting geospatial data into your Hydra-based digital library:<br />
<br />
* What are the types of geospatial data?<br />
* How to dive into Hydra?<br />
* How to model geospatial holdings with Hydra?<br />
* How to discover and view geospatial data?<br />
* How to build a geospatial data infrastructure?<br />
* What are common approaches and problems?<br />

===Technology, Librarianship, and Gender: Moving the conversation forward===<br />
'''Full Day'''<br />
<br />
Contact: Lisa Rabey lisa @ biblyotheke dot net | [http://twitter.com/pnkrcklibrarian @pnkrcklibrarian]<br />
<br />
'''Description'''<br />
<br />
Librarianship is largely made up of women, yet women are significantly underrepresented in tech positions, on any level, within libraries themselves. Why? What are we doing to encourage women to become more involved in STEM within librarianship? What kind of message are we sending when library technology keynotes remain almost resolutely male? How are we changing the face of technology, not only within libraries, but with the field itself? How are we training our staff and colleagues in the areas of fairness and removal of bias? Our vendors?<br />
<br />
Lots of tough questions.<br />
<br />
While the conversation has been going on via various blogs and articles within the last few years, it was given a public face at [http://infotoday.com/il2013/day.asp?day=Monday#session_D105 Internet Librarian 2013] where a panel of 7 (four women, three men) gave personal experiences on the above and then opened up the conversation to the audience. As eye opening and enriching the conversation was, a 45 minute panel was not enough. One thing remains clear: We need to keep the conversation moving forward and start making some radical changes in the way we think, act, and how we need to harness this to start making real changes within librarianship itself.<br />
<br />
Topics to include: Fairness, bias, impostor syndrome, code of conducts, sexual harassment, training opportunities, support systems, mentoring, ally support, and more<br />
<br />
Those attending should expect: Begin with opening up the conversation of experiences and talking about what is most needed, spending remaining time putting together live, usable solutions to start implementing as well as pushing the conversation forward at local levels<br />

===FileAnalyzer: Rapid Development of File Manipulation Tasks===<br />
'''"Half-Day" [morning]'''<br />
* Contact Terry Brady, twb27@georgetown.edu<br />
<br />
The FileAnalyzer (https://github.com/Georgetown-University-Libraries/File-Analyzer) is an application designed to solve a number of library automation challenges:<br />
<br />
* validating digitized and reformatted files<br />
* validating vendor statistics for counter compliance<br />
* preparing collections of digital files for archiving and ingest<br />
* manipulating ILS import and export files<br />
<br />
The File Analyzer application was used by the US National Archives to validate 3.5 million digitized images from the 1940 Census. After implementing a customized ingest workflow within the File Analyzer, the Georgetown University Libraries was able to process an ingest backlog of over a thousand files of digital resources into DigitalGeorgetown, the Libraries’ Digital Collections and Institutional Repository platform. Georgetown is currently developing customized workflows that integrate Apache Tika, BagIt, and Marc conversion utilities.<br />
<br />
The File Analyzer is a desktop application with a powerful framework for implementing customized file validation and transformation rules. As new rules are deployed, they are presented to users within a user interface that is easy (and powerful) to use.<br />
<br />
The first half of this session will be targeted to potential users and developers. The second half of the session will be targeted towards developers who are interested in developing custom rules for the application.<br />
<br />
''Session Overview''<br />
* Overview of the application<br />
* Running sample file tests/transformations through the application<br />
* Compiling and building the application<br />
* Coding a custom file processing task<br />

Social media data is a popular material for research and a new format for building collections. What does it take to collect meaningfully from Twitter, Tumblr, YouTube, Weibo, Facebook, and other sites? We will:<br />
* Introduce options for collections, including both high- and low-end commercial offerings. Discuss what it means to collect these resources, covering boundaries, policies, and workflows required to develop a social media collection program in your institution.<br />
* Explore the Twitter API in depth, with hands-on opportunities for those w/laptops and others who want to team up w/them<br />
* Help you get started using the free [http://gwu-libraries.github.io/social-feed-manager Social Feed Manager] (SFM) app we're developing at GW to create your first collections. We’ll demo its use and demo a clean install (those w/environments can follow along)<br />

* Contact [[User:bibliotechy|Chad Nelson]], chadbnelson@gmail.com<br />
<br />
[http://openrefine.org/ Open Refine] is a powerful open source tool for wrangling messy data that can also be used to help in the creation of Linked Data via the [https://github.com/OpenRefine/OpenRefine/wiki/Reconciliation-Service-API Reconciliation API]. It is possible to write reconciliation services against API's, like the [http://iphylo.blogspot.com/2013/04/reconciling-author-names-using-open.html VIAF service] or, even just against local authority files for helping maintain authority control<br />
<br />
The session would first introduce Open Refine, then walk through building a reconciliation service, and the rest of the session would be a hackfest where we build new reconciliation services for public consumption or local use. <br />

'''"Half-Day [Afternoon]"''' <br />
* Contact Jim Hahn, University of Illinois, jimfhahn@gmail.com<br />
* Contact David Ward, University of Illinois, dh-ward@illinois.edu<br />
<br />
This structured hackfest will give attendees an opportunity to explore methods to create responsive mobile apps using the Bootstrap framework [http://getbootstrap.com/]and a set of APIs for accessing library data. We will start with an API template for creating space-based mobile tools that draw from work coming out of the IMLS funded Student/Library Collaborative grant [http://www.library.illinois.edu/nlg_student_apps]. Available APIs will include a room reservation template and codebase for implementing at any campus and the set of Minrva catalog APIs generating JSONP [http://minrvaproject.org/services.php]. <br />
<br />
Hosts will give a brief report of a study on student hacking projects and interests in mobile library apps that are the basis for the templates utilized in this Hackathon. By the end of the pre-conference attendees will have a sample responsive mobile web app in Bootstrap 3 to bring back to their campus which can plug into their site-based content.<br />

<br />
The task of design (and the work that we do as library coders) is intimately tied to failure. Failures, both big and small, motivate us to create and improve. Failures are also occasionally the result of our work. Understanding and embracing failure, encouraging enlightened risk-taking, and seeking out opportunities to fail and learn are essential to success in our field. At Fail4Lib, we'll talk about our own experiences with projects gone wrong, explore some famous design failures in the real world, and talk about how we can come to terms with the reality of failure, to make it part of our creative process -- rather than something to be feared.<br />
<br />
The schedule may include the following:<br />
<br />
* Case studies. We'll look at some classic failures from the literature: What can we learn from the mistakes of others?<br />
* Confessionals, for those willing to share. Talk about your own experiences with rough starts, labor pains, and doomed projects in your own work: What can we learn from our own (and each others') failures?<br />
* Group therapy. Let's talk about how to deal with risk management, failed projects, experimental endeavors, and more: How can we make ourselves, our colleagues, and our organizations more fault tolerant? How do we make sure we fail as productively as possible?<br />

* Robert Warren, rwarren (at) math.carleton.ca<br />
<br />
We will hack at the intersection of diverse content from Libraries, Archives and Museums and bleeding edge tools from computational linguistics for slicing and dicing that content. Did you just acquire the email archives of a startup company? Maybe you can automatically build an org chart. Have you got metadata in a slew of languages? Perhaps you can search it all using one query. Is name authority control for e-resources getting too costly? Let’s see if entity linking techniques can help. These are just a few teasers. <br />
<br />
There’ll be plenty of content and tools supplied, but please bring your own [data] too -- you’ll hack with it in new ways throughout the day. We’ll get started with some lightning talks on what we’ve brought,then we’ll break up into groups to experiment and work on the ideas that appeal. Three guaranteed outcomes: you’ll walk away with new ideas, new tools, and new people you’ll have met.<br />

* Moderator: Bess Sadler, Stanford University, bess@stanford.edu<br />
<br />
Do you have digitized maps, GIS datasets like Shapefiles, aerial photography,<br />
etc., all of which you want to integrate into your digital repository? In this<br />
workshop, we will discuss how Hydra can provide discovery, delivery, and<br />
management services for geospatial assets, as well as solicit questions about<br />
your own GIS projects. We aim to help answer the following questions you might have about putting geospatial data into your Hydra-based digital library:<br />
<br />
* What are the types of geospatial data?<br />
* How to dive into Hydra?<br />
* How to model geospatial holdings with Hydra?<br />
* How to discover and view geospatial data?<br />
* How to build a geospatial data infrastructure?<br />
* What are common approaches and problems?<br />

===Technology, Librarianship, and Gender: Moving the conversation forward===<br />
'''Full Day'''<br />
<br />
Contact: Lisa Rabey lisa @ biblyotheke dot net | [http://twitter.com/pnkrcklibrarian @pnkrcklibrarian]<br />
<br />
'''Description'''<br />
<br />
Librarianship is largely made up of women, yet women are significantly underrepresented in tech positions, on any level, within libraries themselves. Why? What are we doing to encourage women to become more involved in STEM within librarianship? What kind of message are we sending when library technology keynotes remain almost resolutely male? How are we changing the face of technology, not only within libraries, but with the field itself? How are we training our staff and colleagues in the areas of fairness and removal of bias? Our vendors?<br />
<br />
Lots of tough questions.<br />
<br />
While the conversation has been going on via various blogs and articles within the last few years, it was given a public face at [http://infotoday.com/il2013/day.asp?day=Monday#session_D105 Internet Librarian 2013] where a panel of 7 (four women, three men) gave personal experiences on the above and then opened up the conversation to the audience. As eye opening and enriching the conversation was, a 45 minute panel was not enough. One thing remains clear: We need to keep the conversation moving forward and start making some radical changes in the way we think, act, and how we need to harness this to start making real changes within librarianship itself.<br />
<br />
Topics to include: Fairness, bias, impostor syndrome, code of conducts, sexual harassment, training opportunities, support systems, mentoring, ally support, and more<br />
<br />
Those attending should expect: Begin with opening up the conversation of experiences and talking about what is most needed, spending remaining time putting together live, usable solutions to start implementing as well as pushing the conversation forward at local levels<br />

===FileAnalyzer: Rapid Development of File Manipulation Tasks===<br />
'''"Half-Day" [morning]'''<br />
* Contact Terry Brady, twb27@georgetown.edu<br />
<br />
The FileAnalyzer (https://github.com/Georgetown-University-Libraries/File-Analyzer) is an application designed to solve a number of library automation challenges:<br />
<br />
* validating digitized and reformatted files<br />
* validating vendor statistics for counter compliance<br />
* preparing collections of digital files for archiving and ingest<br />
* manipulating ILS import and export files<br />
<br />
The File Analyzer application was used by the US National Archives to validate 3.5 million digitized images from the 1940 Census. After implementing a customized ingest workflow within the File Analyzer, the Georgetown University Libraries was able to process an ingest backlog of over a thousand files of digital resources into DigitalGeorgetown, the Libraries’ Digital Collections and Institutional Repository platform. Georgetown is currently developing customized workflows that integrate Apache Tika, BagIt, and Marc conversion utilities.<br />
<br />
The File Analyzer is a desktop application with a powerful framework for implementing customized file validation and transformation rules. As new rules are deployed, they are presented to users within a user interface that is easy (and powerful) to use.<br />
<br />
The first half of this session will be targeted to potential users and developers. The second half of the session will be targeted towards developers who are interested in developing custom rules for the application.<br />
<br />
''Session Overview''<br />
* Overview of the application<br />
* Running sample file tests/transformations through the application<br />
* Compiling and building the application<br />
* Coding a custom file processing task<br />
<br />

Social media data is a popular material for research and a new format for building collections. What does it take to collect meaningfully from Twitter, Tumblr, YouTube, Weibo, Facebook, and other sites? We will:<br />
* Introduce options for collections, including both high- and low-end commercial offerings. Discuss what it means to collect these resources, covering boundaries, policies, and workflows required to develop a social media collection program in your institution.<br />
* Explore the Twitter API in depth, with hands-on opportunities for those w/laptops and others who want to team up w/them<br />
* Help you get started using the free [http://gwu-libraries.github.io/social-feed-manager Social Feed Manager] (SFM) app we're developing at GW to create your first collections. We’ll demo its use and demo a clean install (those w/environments can follow along)<br />

'''Half-Day [tbd - probably afternoon]'''<br />
* Contact [[User:Mredar|Mark Redar]], mredar[at]gmail.com<br />
<br />
Test driven development is a proven method for producing better quality code. But I've found it hard to follow a strict TDD methodology when starting new web projects. How do you write that first test when there is no code or web pages created yet.<br />
<br />
In this session, we will follow the excellent book [http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920029533.do "Test-Driven Web Development with Python"] to create a simple web site in Django following TDD from the first character typed. Come ready to code and test. No prior knowledge of python or Django required.<br />
<br />
By the end of this session, you should be able to [http://www.obeythetestinggoat.com/ "Obey the Testing Goat"] from the start to finish for your next project.<br />

[http://openrefine.org/ Open Refine] is a powerful open source tool for wrangling messy data that can also be used to help in the creation of Linked Data via the [https://github.com/OpenRefine/OpenRefine/wiki/Reconciliation-Service-API Reconciliation API]. It is possible to write reconciliation services against API's, like the [http://iphylo.blogspot.com/2013/04/reconciling-author-names-using-open.html VIAF service] or, even just against local authority files for helping maintain authority control<br />
<br />
The session would first introduce Open Refine, then walk through building a reconciliation service, and the rest of the session would be a hackfest where we build new reconciliation services for public consumption or local use. <br />

===Responsive Design Hackfest===<br />
'''"Half-Day [Afternoon]"''' <br />
* Contact Jim Hahn, University of Illinois, jimfhahn@gmail.com<br />
* Contact David Ward, University of Illinois, dh-ward@illinois.edu<br />
<br />
This structured hackfest will give attendees an opportunity to explore methods to create responsive mobile apps using the Bootstrap framework [http://getbootstrap.com/]and a set of APIs for accessing library data. We will start with an API template for creating space-based mobile tools that draw from work coming out of the IMLS funded Student/Library Collaborative grant [http://www.library.illinois.edu/nlg_student_apps]. Available APIs will include a room reservation template and codebase for implementing at any campus and the set of Minrva catalog APIs generating JSONP [http://minrvaproject.org/services.php]. <br />
<br />
Hosts will give a brief report of a study on student hacking projects and interests in mobile library apps that are the basis for the templates utilized in this Hackathon. By the end of the pre-conference attendees will have a sample responsive mobile web app in Bootstrap 3 to bring back to their campus which can plug into their site-based content.<br />

The task of design (and the work that we do as library coders) is intimately tied to failure. Failures, both big and small, motivate us to create and improve. Failures are also occasionally the result of our work. Understanding and embracing failure, encouraging enlightened risk-taking, and seeking out opportunities to fail and learn are essential to success in our field. At Fail4Lib, we'll talk about our own experiences with projects gone wrong, explore some famous design failures in the real world, and talk about how we can come to terms with the reality of failure, to make it part of our creative process -- rather than something to be feared.<br />
<br />
The schedule may include the following:<br />
<br />
* Case studies. We'll look at some classic failures from the literature: What can we learn from the mistakes of others?<br />
* Confessionals, for those willing to share. Talk about your own experiences with rough starts, labor pains, and doomed projects in your own work: What can we learn from our own (and each others') failures?<br />
* Group therapy. Let's talk about how to deal with risk management, failed projects, experimental endeavors, and more: How can we make ourselves, our colleagues, and our organizations more fault tolerant? How do we make sure we fail as productively as possible?<br />

<br />
We will hack at the intersection of diverse content from Libraries, Archives and Museums and bleeding edge tools from computational linguistics for slicing and dicing that content. Did you just acquire the email archives of a startup company? Maybe you can automatically build an org chart. Have you got metadata in a slew of languages? Perhaps you can search it all using one query. Is name authority control for e-resources getting too costly? Let’s see if entity linking techniques can help. These are just a few teasers. <br />
<br />
There’ll be plenty of content and tools supplied, but please bring your own [data] too -- you’ll hack with it in new ways throughout the day. We’ll get started with some lightning talks on what we’ve brought,then we’ll break up into groups to experiment and work on the ideas that appeal. Three guaranteed outcomes: you’ll walk away with new ideas, new tools, and new people you’ll have met.<br />

===Technology, Librarianship, and Gender: Moving the conversation forward===<br />
'''Full Day'''<br />
<br />
Contact: Lisa Rabey lisa @ biblyotheke dot net | [http://twitter.com/pnkrcklibrarian @pnkrcklibrarian]<br />
<br />
'''Description'''<br />
<br />
Librarianship is largely made up of women, yet women are significantly underrepresented in tech positions, on any level, within libraries themselves. Why? What are we doing to encourage women to become more involved in STEM within librarianship? What kind of message are we sending when library technology keynotes remain almost resolutely male? How are we changing the face of technology, not only within libraries, but with the field itself? How are we training our staff and colleagues in the areas of fairness and removal of bias? Our vendors?<br />
<br />
Lots of tough questions.<br />
<br />
While the conversation has been going on via various blogs and articles within the last few years, it was given a public face at [http://infotoday.com/il2013/day.asp?day=Monday#session_D105 Internet Librarian 2013] where a panel of 7 (four women, three men) gave personal experiences on the above and then opened up the conversation to the audience. As eye opening and enriching the conversation was, a 45 minute panel was not enough. One thing remains clear: We need to keep the conversation moving forward and start making some radical changes in the way we think, act, and how we need to harness this to start making real changes within librarianship itself.<br />
<br />
Topics to include: Fairness, bias, impostor syndrome, code of conducts, sexual harassment, training opportunities, support systems, mentoring, ally support, and more<br />
<br />
Those attending should expect: Begin with opening up the conversation of experiences and talking about what is most needed, spending remaining time putting together live, usable solutions to start implementing as well as pushing the conversation forward at local levels<br />

===FileAnalyzer: Rapid Development of File Manipulation Tasks===<br />
'''"Half-Day" [morning]'''<br />
* Contact Terry Brady, twb27@georgetown.edu<br />
<br />
The FileAnalyzer (https://github.com/Georgetown-University-Libraries/File-Analyzer) is an application designed to solve a number of library automation challenges:<br />
<br />
* validating digitized and reformatted files<br />
* validating vendor statistics for counter compliance<br />
* preparing collections of digital files for archiving and ingest<br />
* manipulating ILS import and export files<br />
<br />
The File Analyzer application was used by the US National Archives to validate 3.5 million digitized images from the 1940 Census. After implementing a customized ingest workflow within the File Analyzer, the Georgetown University Libraries was able to process an ingest backlog of over a thousand files of digital resources into DigitalGeorgetown, the Libraries’ Digital Collections and Institutional Repository platform. Georgetown is currently developing customized workflows that integrate Apache Tika, BagIt, and Marc conversion utilities.<br />
<br />
The File Analyzer is a desktop application with a powerful framework for implementing customized file validation and transformation rules. As new rules are deployed, they are presented to users within a user interface that is easy (and powerful) to use.<br />
<br />
The first half of this session will be targeted to potential users and developers. The second half of the session will be targeted towards developers who are interested in developing custom rules for the application.<br />
<br />
''Session Overview''<br />
* Overview of the application<br />
* Running sample file tests/transformations through the application<br />
* Compiling and building the application<br />
* Coding a custom file processing task<br />

<div>==2014 Prepared Talk Proposals==<br />
<br />
'''Proposals for Prepared Talks:'''<br />
<br />
Prepared talks are 20 minutes (including setup and questions), and should focus on one or more of the following areas:<br />
<br />
* ''Projects'' you've worked on which incorporate innovative implementation of existing technologies and/or development of new software<br />
* ''Tools and technologies'' – How to get the most out of existing tools, standards and protocols (and ideas on how to make them better)<br />
* ''Technical issues'' - Big issues in library technology that should be addressed or better understood<br />
* ''Relevant non-technical issues'' – Concerns of interest to the Code4Lib community which are not strictly technical in nature, e.g. collaboration, diversity, organizational challenges, etc.<br />
<br />
'''To Propose a Talk'''<br />
* Log in to the wiki in order to submit a proposal. If you are not already registered, follow the instructions to do so.<br />
* Provide a title and brief (500 words or fewer) description of your proposed talk.<br />
* If you so choose, you may also indicate when, if ever, you have presented at a prior Code4Lib conference. This information is completely optional, but it may assist us in opening the conference to new presenters.<br />
<br />
As in past years, the Code4Lib community will vote on proposals that they would like to see included in the program. This year, however, only the top 10 proposals will be guaranteed a slot at the conference. Additional presentations will be selected by the Program Committee in an effort to ensure diversity in program content. Community votes will, of course, still weigh heavily in these decisions.<br />
<br />
Presenters whose proposals are selected for inclusion in the program will be guaranteed an opportunity to register for the conference. The standard conference registration fee will still apply.<br />
<br />
''Proposals can be submitted through '''Friday, November 8, 2013, at 5pm PST'''''. Voting will commence on November 18, 2013 and continue through December 6, 2013. The final line-up of presentations will be announced in early January, 2014.<br />

== Using Drupal to drive alternative presentation systems ==<br />
<br />
* [[User:Highermath|Cary Gordon]], The Cherry Hill Company, cgordon@chillco.com<br />
<br />
Recently, we have been building systems that use angular.js, Rails, or other systems for presentation, while leveraging Drupal's sophisticated content management capabilities on the back end.<br />
<br />
So far, these have been one-way systems, but as we move to Drupal 8 we are beginning to explore ways to further decouple the presentation and CMS functions.<br />
<br />
== A Book, a Web Browser and a Tablet: How Bibliotheca Alexandrina's Book Viewer Framework Makes It Possible ==<br />
<br />
* [[User:Mohammed.abuouda|Mohammed Abu ouda]], Bibliotheca Alexandrina (The new Library of Alexandria)<br />
<br />
A lot of institutions around the world are engaged in multiple digitization projects aiming at preserving the human knowledge present in books and availing them through multiple channels to people around the whole globe. These efforts will sure help close the digital gap particularly with the arrival of affordable e-readers, mobile phones and network coverage. However, the digital reading experience has not yet arrived to its maximum potential. Many readers miss features they like in their good old books and wish to find them in their digital counterpart. In an attempt to create a unique digital reading experience, Bibliotheca Alexandria (BA) created a flexible book viewing framework that is currently used to access its current collection of more than 300,000 digital books in five different languages which includes the largest collection of digitized Arabic books.<br />
<br />
Using open source tools, BA used the framework to develop a modular book viewer that can be deployed in different environments and is currently at the heart of various BA projects. The Book viewer provides several features creating a more natural reading experience. As with physical books, the reader can now personalize the books he reads by adding annotations like highlights, underlines and sticky notes to capture his thoughts and ideas in addition to being able to share the book with friends on social networks. The reader can perform a search across the content of the book receiving highlighted search results within the pages of the book. More features can be further added to the book viewer through its plugin architecture.<br />
<br />
== Structured data NOW: seeding schema.org in library systems ==<br />
<br />
* [http://coffeecode.net Dan Scott], Laurentian University<br />
** Previous code4lib presentations: [https://archive.org/details/code4lib.conf.2008.pres.CouchDBsacrilege CouchDB is sacrilege... mmm, delicious sacrilege] at Code4Lib 2008<br />
<br />
The semantic web, linked data, and structured data are all fantastic ideas with a barrier imposed by implementation constraints. If their system does not allow customizations, or the institution lacks skilled human resources, it does not matter how enthused a given library might be about publishing structured data... it will not happen. However, if the software in use simply publishes structured data by default, then the web will be populated for free. Really! No extra resources necessary.<br />
<br />
This presentation highlights Dan's work with systems such as Evergreen, Koha, and VuFind to enable the publication of schema.org structured data out-of-the-box. Along the way, we reflect the current state of the W3C Schema.org Bibliographic Extension community group efforts to shape the evolution of the schema.org vocabulary. Finally, hold on tight as we contemplate next steps and the possibilities of a world where structured data is the norm on the web.<br />

== Towards Pasta Code Nirvana: Using JavaScript MVC to Fill Your Programming Ravioli ==<br />
<br />
* Bret Davidson, North Carolina State University Libraries, bret_davidson@ncsu.edu<br />
** Previous Code4Lib Presentations: [http://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php/2013_talks_proposals#Data-Driven_Documents:_Visualizing_library_data_with_D3.js Visualizing library data with D3.js] at Code4Lib 2013<br />
<br />
JavaScript MVC frameworks are ushering in a golden age of robust and responsive web applications that take advantage of evergreen browsers, performant JS engines, and the unprecedented reach provided by billions of personal computing devices. The web browser has emerged as the world’s most popular application runtime and the complexity[1] and scope of JavaScript applications has exploded accordingly. Server-side web frameworks like Rails and Django have helped developers adhere to best practices like modularity, dependency injection, and unit testing for years, practices that are now being applied to JavaScript development through projects like Backbone[2], Ember[3], and Angular[4].<br />
<br />
This talk will discuss the issues JavaScript MVC frameworks are trying to solve, common features like data binding, implications for the future of web development[5], and the appropriateness of JavaScript MVC for library applications.<br />

Watching the Google Analytics Real-Time dashboard for the first time was mesmerizing. As soon as someone visited a site, I could see what page they were on. For a digital collections site with a lot of images, it was fun to see what visitors were looking at. But getting from Google Analytics to the image or other content of what was currently being viewed was cumbersome. The real-time experience was something I wanted share with others. I'll show you how I used a WebSocket service to create a real-time interface to digital collections.<br />

== Rapid Development of Automated Tasks with the File Analyzer ==<br />
<br />
* Terry Brady, Georgetown University Libraries, twb27@georgetown.edu<br />
<br />
The Georgetown University Libraries have customized the File Analyzer and Metadata Harvester application (https://github.com/Georgetown-University-Libraries/File-Analyzer) to solve a number of library automation challenges:<br />
* validating digitized and reformatted files<br />
* validating vendor statistics for counter compliance<br />
* preparing collections of digital files for archiving and ingest<br />
* manipulating ILS import and export files<br />
<br />
The File Analyzer application was used by the US National Archives to validate 3.5 million digitized images from the 1940 Census. After implementing a customized ingest workflow within the File Analyzer, the Georgetown University Libraries was able to process an ingest backlog of over a thousand files of digital resources into DigitalGeorgetown, the Libraries’ Digital Collections and Institutional Repository platform. Georgetown is currently developing customized workflows that integrate Apache Tika, BagIt, and Marc conversion utilities.<br />
<br />
The File Analyzer is a desktop application with a powerful framework for implementing customized file validation and transformation rules. As new rules are deployed, they are presented to users within a user interface that is easy (and powerful) to use.<br />
<br />
Learn about the functionality that is available for download, how you can use this tool to automate workflows from digital collections to ILS ingests to electronic resources statistics and also discuss the opportunities to collaborate on enhancements to this application!<br />

Building a spatial data infrastructure that integrates with your digital<br />
library infrastructure need not be a daunting task. We have successfully<br />
deployed a geospatial digital library infrastructure using Fedora and<br />
open-source geospatial software [1]. We'll discuss the primary design<br />
decisions and technologies that led to a production deployment within a few<br />
months. Briefly, our architecture revolves around discovery, delivery, and<br />
metadata pipelines using open-source OpenGeoPortal [2], Solr [3], GeoServer<br />
[4], PostGIS [5], and GeoNetwork [6] technologies, plus the proprietary ESRI<br />
ArcMap [7] -- the GIS industry's workhorse. Finally, we'll discuss the key<br />

== Leap Motion + Rare Books: A hands-free way to view and interact with rare books in 3D ==<br />
<br />
[http://http://www.youtube.com/user/jpdenzer Juan Denzer], Binghamton University, jdenzer@binghamton.edu<br />
* 'No' previous Code4Lib presentations <br />
<br />
As rare books become more delicate over time, making them available to the public becomes harder. We at Binghamton University Library have developed an application that makes it easier to view rare books without ever having to touch them. We have combined the Leap Motion hands-free device and 3D rendered models to create a new virtual experience for the viewer.<br />
<br />
The application allows the user to rotate and zoom in on a 3D representation of a rare book. The user is also able to ‘open’ the virtual book and flip through it using a natural user interface. Such as swiping the hand left or right to turn the page.<br />
<br />
The application is built on the .Net framework and is written in C#. 3D models are created using simple 3D software such as sketchup or Blender. Scans of the book cover and spine are created using simple flatbed scanners. The inside pages are scanned using overhead scanners. <br />
<br />
This talk with discuss the technologies used in developing the application and virtually any library could implement the application with virtually no coding at all. This presentation will have a demonstration of the software and also a chance for audience members to experience the Rare Book Leap Motion App themselves.<br />

Hey kids! Remember when SOAP was used for something other than washing? Our sophisticated (and highly functional) Course Reserves Request system does!<br />
<br />
However, while the system is great for submitting and processing course reserve requests, the student-facing presentation through Havard’s home-grown -- and soon to be replaced -- LMS leaves a lot to be desired. <br />
<br />
Follow along as we leverage Solr 4 as a No-SQL database, along with more progressive RESTful API techniques, to release Reserves data into the wild without interfering with reserves request processing -- and, in the process, open up the opportunity for other schools to feed their data in as well.<br />

== We Are All Disabled! Universal Web Design Making Web Services Accessible for Everyone ==<br />
<br />
Cynthia Ng, Accessibility Librarian, CILS at Langara College<br />
* No previous Code4Lib presentations (not counting lightning talks)<br />
<br />
We’re building and improving tools and services all the time, but do you only develop for the “average” user or add things for “disabled” users? We all use “assistive” technology accessing information in a multitude of ways with different platforms, devices, etc. Let’s focus on providing web services that are accessible to everyone without it being onerous or ugly. The aim is to get you thinking about what you can do to make web-based services and content more accessible for all from the beginning or with small amounts of effort whether you're a developer or not.<br />
<br />
The goal of the presentation is to provide both developers and content creators with information on simple, practical ways to make web content and web services more accessible. However, rather than thinking about putting in extra effort or making adjustment for those with disabilities, I want to help people think about how to make their websites more accessible for all users through universal web design.<br />

== Personalize your Google Analytics Data with Custom Events and Variables ==<br />
<br />
[http://joshwilson.net Josh Wilson], Systems Integration Librarian, State Library of North Carolina - joshwilsonnc@gmail.com<br />
<br />
At the State Library of North Carolina, we had more specific questions about the use of our digital collections than standard GA could provide. A few implementations of custom events and custom variables later, we have our answers.<br />
<br />
I'll demonstrate how these analytics add-ons work, and why implementation can sometimes be more complicated than just adding a few lines of JavaScript to your ga.js. I'll discuss some specific examples in use at the SLNC:<br />
<br />
* Capturing the content of specific metadata fields in CONTENTdm as Custom Events <br />
* Recording Drupal taxonomy terms as Custom Variables<br />
<br />
In both instances, this data deepened our understanding of how our sites and collections were being used, and in turn, we were able to report usage more accurately to content contributors and other stakeholders.<br />

<br />
* One repository contains untold numbers of digital objects and powers many Hydra and Islandora apps<br />
* It speaks RDF, but contains no triplestore! (triplestores sold separately, SPARQL Update may be involved, some restrictions apply)<br />
* Flexible enough to tie itself in knots implementing storage and access control policies<br />
* Witness feats of strength and scalability, with dramatically increased performance and clustering<br />
* Plumb the depths of bottomless hierarchies, and marvel at the metadata woven into the very fabric of the repository<br />
* Ponder the paradox of ingesting large files by not ingesting them<br />
* Be amazed as Fedora 4 swallows other systems whole (including Fedora 3 repositories)<br />
* Watch novice developers setup Fedora 4 from scratch, with just a handful of incantations to Git and Maven<br />
<br />
The Fedora Commons Repository is the foundation of many digital collections, e-research, digital library, archives, digital preservation, institutional repository and open access publishing systems. This talk will focus on how Fedora 4 improves core repository functionality, adds new features, maintains backwards compatibility, and addresses the shortcomings of Fedora 3.<br />
<br />
== Organic Free-Range API Development - Making Web Services That You Will Actually Want to Consume ==<br />
<br />
Steve Meyer and Karen Coombs, OCLC<br />
<br />
Building web services can have great benefits by providing reusability of data and functionality. Underpinning your applications with a web service will allow you to write code once and support multiple environments: your library's web app, mobile applications, the embedded widget in your campus portal. However, building a web service is its own kind of artful programming. Doing it well requires attention to many of the same techniques and requirements as building web applications, though with different outcomes. <br />
<br />
So what are the usability principles for web services? How do you build a web service that you (and others) will actually want to use? In this talk, we’ll share some of the lessons learned - the good, the bad, and the ugly - through OCLC's work on the WorldCat Metadata API. This web service is a sophisticated API that provides external clients with read and write access to WorldCat data. It provides a model to help aspiring API creators navigate the potential complications of crafting a web service. We'll cover:<br />
<br />
* Loose coupling of data assets and resource-oriented data modeling at the core<br />
* Coding to standards vs. exposure of an internal data model<br />
* Authentication and security for web services: API Keys, Digital Signing, OAuth Flows<br />
* Building web services that behave as a suite so it looks like the left hand knows what the right hand is doing<br />
<br />
So at the end of the day, your team will know your API is a very good egg after all. <br />
<br />
If accepted, the presenters intend to produce and share a Quick Guide for building a web service that will reflect content presented in the talk.<br />

I'll talk about why libraries might want large displays like this, what we're doing with them right now, and what we might do with them in the future. I'll talk about how these displays factor into planning for new and existing web projects. And I'll get into the fun details of how you build web applications that scale from the very small browser window on a phone all the way up to a browser window with about 14 million pixels (about 10 million more than a dual 24" monitor desktop setup).<br />

'''Proposals for Prepared Talks:'''<br />
<br />
Prepared talks are 20 minutes (including setup and questions), and should focus on one or more of the following areas:<br />
<br />
* ''Projects'' you've worked on which incorporate innovative implementation of existing technologies and/or development of new software<br />
* ''Tools and technologies'' – How to get the most out of existing tools, standards and protocols (and ideas on how to make them better)<br />
* ''Technical issues'' - Big issues in library technology that should be addressed or better understood<br />
* ''Relevant non-technical issues'' – Concerns of interest to the Code4Lib community which are not strictly technical in nature, e.g. collaboration, diversity, organizational challenges, etc.<br />
<br />
'''To Propose a Talk'''<br />
* Log in to the wiki in order to submit a proposal. If you are not already registered, follow the instructions to do so.<br />
* Provide a title and brief (500 words or fewer) description of your proposed talk.<br />
* If you so choose, you may also indicate when, if ever, you have presented at a prior Code4Lib conference. This information is completely optional, but it may assist us in opening the conference to new presenters.<br />
<br />
As in past years, the Code4Lib community will vote on proposals that they would like to see included in the program. This year, however, only the top 10 proposals will be guaranteed a slot at the conference. Additional presentations will be selected by the Program Committee in an effort to ensure diversity in program content. Community votes will, of course, still weigh heavily in these decisions.<br />
<br />
Presenters whose proposals are selected for inclusion in the program will be guaranteed an opportunity to register for the conference. The standard conference registration fee will still apply.<br />
<br />
''Proposals can be submitted through '''Friday, November 8, 2013, at 5pm PST'''''. Voting will commence on November 18, 2013 and continue through December 6, 2013. The final line-up of presentations will be announced in early January, 2014.<br />

== Using Drupal to drive alternative presentation systems ==<br />
<br />
* [[User:Highermath|Cary Gordon]], The Cherry Hill Company, cgordon@chillco.com<br />
<br />
Recently, we have been building systems that use angular.js, Rails, or other systems for presentation, while leveraging Drupal's sophisticated content management capabilities on the back end.<br />
<br />
So far, these have been one-way systems, but as we move to Drupal 8 we are beginning to explore ways to further decouple the presentation and CMS functions.<br />

== A Book, a Web Browser and a Tablet: How Bibliotheca Alexandrina's Book Viewer Framework Makes It Possible ==<br />
<br />
* [[User:Mohammed.abuouda|Mohammed Abu ouda]], Bibliotheca Alexandrina (The new Library of Alexandria)<br />
<br />
A lot of institutions around the world are engaged in multiple digitization projects aiming at preserving the human knowledge present in books and availing them through multiple channels to people around the whole globe. These efforts will sure help close the digital gap particularly with the arrival of affordable e-readers, mobile phones and network coverage. However, the digital reading experience has not yet arrived to its maximum potential. Many readers miss features they like in their good old books and wish to find them in their digital counterpart. In an attempt to create a unique digital reading experience, Bibliotheca Alexandria (BA) created a flexible book viewing framework that is currently used to access its current collection of more than 300,000 digital books in five different languages which includes the largest collection of digitized Arabic books.<br />
<br />
Using open source tools, BA used the framework to develop a modular book viewer that can be deployed in different environments and is currently at the heart of various BA projects. The Book viewer provides several features creating a more natural reading experience. As with physical books, the reader can now personalize the books he reads by adding annotations like highlights, underlines and sticky notes to capture his thoughts and ideas in addition to being able to share the book with friends on social networks. The reader can perform a search across the content of the book receiving highlighted search results within the pages of the book. More features can be further added to the book viewer through its plugin architecture.<br />

<br />
The semantic web, linked data, and structured data are all fantastic ideas with a barrier imposed by implementation constraints. If their system does not allow customizations, or the institution lacks skilled human resources, it does not matter how enthused a given library might be about publishing structured data... it will not happen. However, if the software in use simply publishes structured data by default, then the web will be populated for free. Really! No extra resources necessary.<br />
<br />
This presentation highlights Dan's work with systems such as Evergreen, Koha, and VuFind to enable the publication of schema.org structured data out-of-the-box. Along the way, we reflect the current state of the W3C Schema.org Bibliographic Extension community group efforts to shape the evolution of the schema.org vocabulary. Finally, hold on tight as we contemplate next steps and the possibilities of a world where structured data is the norm on the web.<br />

<br />
JavaScript MVC frameworks are ushering in a golden age of robust and responsive web applications that take advantage of evergreen browsers, performant JS engines, and the unprecedented reach provided by billions of personal computing devices. The web browser has emerged as the world’s most popular application runtime and the complexity[1] and scope of JavaScript applications has exploded accordingly. Server-side web frameworks like Rails and Django have helped developers adhere to best practices like modularity, dependency injection, and unit testing for years, practices that are now being applied to JavaScript development through projects like Backbone[2], Ember[3], and Angular[4].<br />
<br />
This talk will discuss the issues JavaScript MVC frameworks are trying to solve, common features like data binding, implications for the future of web development[5], and the appropriateness of JavaScript MVC for library applications.<br />

== We Are All Disabled! Universal Web Design Making Web Services Accessible for Everyone ==<br />
<br />

* No previous Code4Lib presentations (not counting lightning talks)<br />
<br />
We’re building and improving tools and services all the time, but do you only develop for the “average” user or add things for “disabled” users? We all use “assistive” technology accessing information in a multitude of ways with different platforms, devices, etc. Let’s focus on providing web services that are accessible to everyone without it being onerous or ugly. The aim is to get you thinking about what you can do to make web-based services and content more accessible for all from the beginning or with small amounts of effort whether you're a developer or not.<br />
<br />
The goal of the presentation is to provide both developers and content creators with information on simple, practical ways to make web content and web services more accessible. However, rather than thinking about putting in extra effort or making adjustment for those with disabilities, I want to help people think about how to make their websites more accessible for all users through universal web design.<br />

== Personalize your Google Analytics Data with Custom Events and Variables ==<br />
<br />
[http://joshwilson.net Josh Wilson], Systems Integration Librarian, State Library of North Carolina - joshwilsonnc@gmail.com<br />
<br />
At the State Library of North Carolina, we had more specific questions about the use of our digital collections than standard GA could provide. A few implementations of custom events and custom variables later, we have our answers.<br />
<br />
I'll demonstrate how these analytics add-ons work, and why implementation can sometimes be more complicated than just adding a few lines of JavaScript to your ga.js. I'll discuss some specific examples in use at the SLNC:<br />
<br />
* Capturing the content of specific metadata fields in CONTENTdm as Custom Events <br />
* Recording Drupal taxonomy terms as Custom Variables<br />
<br />
In both instances, this data deepened our understanding of how our sites and collections were being used, and in turn, we were able to report usage more accurately to content contributors and other stakeholders.<br />

== Organic Free-Range API Development - Making Web Services That You Will Actually Want to Consume ==<br />
<br />
Steve Meyer and Karen Coombs, OCLC<br />
<br />
Building web services can have great benefits by providing reusability of data and functionality. Underpinning your applications with a web service will allow you to write code once and support multiple environments: your library's web app, mobile applications, the embedded widget in your campus portal. However, building a web service is its own kind of artful programming. Doing it well requires attention to many of the same techniques and requirements as building web applications, though with different outcomes. <br />
<br />
So what are the usability principles for web services? How do you build a web service that you (and others) will actually want to use? In this talk, we’ll share some of the lessons learned - the good, the bad, and the ugly - through OCLC's work on the WorldCat Metadata API. This web service is a sophisticated API that provides external clients with read and write access to WorldCat data. It provides a model to help aspiring API creators navigate the potential complications of crafting a web service. We'll cover:<br />
<br />
* Loose coupling of data assets and resource-oriented data modeling at the core<br />
* Coding to standards vs. exposure of an internal data model<br />
* Authentication and security for web services: API Keys, Digital Signing, OAuth Flows<br />
* Building web services that behave as a suite so it looks like the left hand knows what the right hand is doing<br />
<br />
So at the end of the day, your team will know your API is a very good egg after all. <br />
<br />
If accepted, the presenters intend to produce and share a Quick Guide for building a web service that will reflect content presented in the talk.<br />

<div>==2014 Prepared Talk Proposals==<br />
<br />
'''Proposals for Prepared Talks:'''<br />
<br />
Prepared talks are 20 minutes (including setup and questions), and should focus on one or more of the following areas:<br />
<br />
* ''Projects'' you've worked on which incorporate innovative implementation of existing technologies and/or development of new software<br />
* ''Tools and technologies'' – How to get the most out of existing tools, standards and protocols (and ideas on how to make them better)<br />
* ''Technical issues'' - Big issues in library technology that should be addressed or better understood<br />
* ''Relevant non-technical issues'' – Concerns of interest to the Code4Lib community which are not strictly technical in nature, e.g. collaboration, diversity, organizational challenges, etc.<br />
<br />
'''To Propose a Talk'''<br />
* Log in to the wiki in order to submit a proposal. If you are not already registered, follow the instructions to do so.<br />
* Provide a title and brief (500 words or fewer) description of your proposed talk.<br />
* If you so choose, you may also indicate when, if ever, you have presented at a prior Code4Lib conference. This information is completely optional, but it may assist us in opening the conference to new presenters.<br />
<br />
As in past years, the Code4Lib community will vote on proposals that they would like to see included in the program. This year, however, only the top 10 proposals will be guaranteed a slot at the conference. Additional presentations will be selected by the Program Committee in an effort to ensure diversity in program content. Community votes will, of course, still weigh heavily in these decisions.<br />
<br />
Presenters whose proposals are selected for inclusion in the program will be guaranteed an opportunity to register for the conference. The standard conference registration fee will still apply.<br />
<br />
''Proposals can be submitted through '''Friday, November 8, 2013, at 5pm PST'''''. Voting will commence on November 18, 2013 and continue through December 6, 2013. The final line-up of presentations will be announced in early January, 2014.<br />

== Using Drupal to drive alternative presentation systems ==<br />
<br />
* [[User:Highermath|Cary Gordon]], The Cherry Hill Company, cgordon@chillco.com<br />
<br />
Recently, we have been building systems that use angular.js, Rails, or other systems for presentation, while leveraging Drupal's sophisticated content management capabilities on the back end.<br />
<br />
So far, these have been one-way systems, but as we move to Drupal 8 we are beginning to explore ways to further decouple the presentation and CMS functions.<br />
<br />
== A Book, a Web Browser and a Tablet: How Bibliotheca Alexandrina's Book Viewer Framework Makes It Possible ==<br />
<br />
* [[User:Mohammed.abuouda|Mohammed Abu ouda]], Bibliotheca Alexandrina (The new Library of Alexandria)<br />
<br />
A lot of institutions around the world are engaged in multiple digitization projects aiming at preserving the human knowledge present in books and availing them through multiple channels to people around the whole globe. These efforts will sure help close the digital gap particularly with the arrival of affordable e-readers, mobile phones and network coverage. However, the digital reading experience has not yet arrived to its maximum potential. Many readers miss features they like in their good old books and wish to find them in their digital counterpart. In an attempt to create a unique digital reading experience, Bibliotheca Alexandria (BA) created a flexible book viewing framework that is currently used to access its current collection of more than 300,000 digital books in five different languages which includes the largest collection of digitized Arabic books.<br />
<br />
Using open source tools, BA used the framework to develop a modular book viewer that can be deployed in different environments and is currently at the heart of various BA projects. The Book viewer provides several features creating a more natural reading experience. As with physical books, the reader can now personalize the books he reads by adding annotations like highlights, underlines and sticky notes to capture his thoughts and ideas in addition to being able to share the book with friends on social networks. The reader can perform a search across the content of the book receiving highlighted search results within the pages of the book. More features can be further added to the book viewer through its plugin architecture.<br />

== Structured data NOW: seeding schema.org in library systems ==<br />
<br />
* [http://coffeecode.net Dan Scott], Laurentian University<br />
** Previous code4lib presentations: [https://archive.org/details/code4lib.conf.2008.pres.CouchDBsacrilege CouchDB is sacrilege... mmm, delicious sacrilege] at Code4Lib 2008<br />
<br />
The semantic web, linked data, and structured data are all fantastic ideas with a barrier imposed by implementation constraints. If their system does not allow customizations, or the institution lacks skilled human resources, it does not matter how enthused a given library might be about publishing structured data... it will not happen. However, if the software in use simply publishes structured data by default, then the web will be populated for free. Really! No extra resources necessary.<br />
<br />
This presentation highlights Dan's work with systems such as Evergreen, Koha, and VuFind to enable the publication of schema.org structured data out-of-the-box. Along the way, we reflect the current state of the W3C Schema.org Bibliographic Extension community group efforts to shape the evolution of the schema.org vocabulary. Finally, hold on tight as we contemplate next steps and the possibilities of a world where structured data is the norm on the web.<br />

<br />
JavaScript MVC frameworks are ushering in a golden age of robust and responsive web applications that take advantage of evergreen browsers, performant JS engines, and the unprecedented reach provided by billions of personal computing devices. The web browser has emerged as the world’s most popular application runtime and the complexity[1] and scope of JavaScript applications has exploded accordingly. Server-side web frameworks like Rails and Django have helped developers adhere to best practices like modularity, dependency injection, and unit testing for years, practices that are now being applied to JavaScript development through projects like Backbone[2], Ember[3], and Angular[4].<br />
<br />
This talk will discuss the issues JavaScript MVC frameworks are trying to solve, common features like data binding, implications for the future of web development[5], and the appropriateness of JavaScript MVC for library applications.<br />

Watching the Google Analytics Real-Time dashboard for the first time was mesmerizing. As soon as someone visited a site, I could see what page they were on. For a digital collections site with a lot of images, it was fun to see what visitors were looking at. But getting from Google Analytics to the image or other content of what was currently being viewed was cumbersome. The real-time experience was something I wanted share with others. I'll show you how I used a WebSocket service to create a real-time interface to digital collections.<br />
<br />
In the Hunt Library at NCSU we have some large video walls. I wanted to make HTML-based exhibits that featured viewer interactions. I'll show you how I converted Listen to Wikipedia [1] into an bring-your-own-device interactive exhibit. With WebSockets any HTML page can be remote controlled by any internet connected device.<br />
<br />
I will attempt to include real-time audience participation.<br />

== Rapid Development of Automated Tasks with the File Analyzer ==<br />
<br />
* Terry Brady, Georgetown University Libraries, twb27@georgetown.edu<br />
<br />
The Georgetown University Libraries have customized the File Analyzer and Metadata Harvester application (https://github.com/Georgetown-University-Libraries/File-Analyzer) to solve a number of library automation challenges:<br />
* validating digitized and reformatted files<br />
* validating vendor statistics for counter compliance<br />
* preparing collections of digital files for archiving and ingest<br />
* manipulating ILS import and export files<br />
<br />
The File Analyzer application was used by the US National Archives to validate 3.5 million digitized images from the 1940 Census. After implementing a customized ingest workflow within the File Analyzer, the Georgetown University Libraries was able to process an ingest backlog of over a thousand files of digital resources into DigitalGeorgetown, the Libraries’ Digital Collections and Institutional Repository platform. Georgetown is currently developing customized workflows that integrate Apache Tika, BagIt, and Marc conversion utilities.<br />
<br />
The File Analyzer is a desktop application with a powerful framework for implementing customized file validation and transformation rules. As new rules are deployed, they are presented to users within a user interface that is easy (and powerful) to use.<br />
<br />
Learn about the functionality that is available for download, how you can use this tool to automate workflows from digital collections to ILS ingests to electronic resources statistics and also discuss the opportunities to collaborate on enhancements to this application!<br />

* [http://stanford.edu/~drh Darren Hardy], Stanford University, drh@stanford.edu<br />
<br />
Geographically-rich data are exploding and putting fear in those trying to<br />
tackle integrating them into existing digital library infrastructures.<br />
Building a spatial data infrastructure that integrates with your digital<br />
library infrastructure need not be a daunting task. We have successfully<br />
deployed a geospatial digital library infrastructure using Fedora and<br />
open-source geospatial software [1]. We'll discuss the primary design<br />
decisions and technologies that led to a production deployment within a few<br />
months. Briefly, our architecture revolves around discovery, delivery, and<br />
metadata pipelines using open-source OpenGeoPortal [2], Solr [3], GeoServer<br />
[4], PostGIS [5], and GeoNetwork [6] technologies, plus the proprietary ESRI<br />
ArcMap [7] -- the GIS industry's workhorse. Finally, we'll discuss the key<br />
skillsets needed to build and maintain a spatial data infrastructure.<br />

* Previous Code4Lib presentations: 2006: "The Case for Code4Lib 501c(3)"<br />
<br />
[http://hadoop.apache.org/ Apache Hadoop] is widely used by Yahoo!, Google, and many others to process massive amounts of data quickly. OCLC Research uses a 40-node compute cluster with Hadoop and HBase to process the 300 million MARC records of WorldCat in various ways. This presentation will explain how Hadoop MapReduce works and illustrate it with specific examples and code. The role of the jobtracker in both monitoring and reporting on processes will be explained. String searching WorldCat will also be demonstrated live.<br />

Do most of the data that your library collects stay in spreadsheets or are published as a static table with a series of boring numbers? Do your library stakeholders spend more time collecting the data than using it as a decision-making tool because the data is presented in a way that makes it hard for them [http://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery to quickly grasp its significance? ]<br />
<br />
This talk will provide an overview of [http://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/reference Google Visualization API] [2] and [http://developers.google.com/chart/ Google Chart Libraries] [3] to get you started on the way to quickly query and visualize your library data from remote data sources (e.g. a Google Spreadsheet or your own database) with (or without) cool-looking user-controls, animation effects, and even a dashboard.<br />

== Leap Motion + Rare Books: A hands-free way to view and interact with rare books in 3D ==<br />
<br />
[http://http://www.youtube.com/user/jpdenzer Juan Denzer], Binghamton University, jdenzer@binghamton.edu<br />
* 'No' previous Code4Lib presentations <br />
<br />
As rare books become more delicate over time, making them available to the public becomes harder. We at Binghamton University Library have developed an application that makes it easier to view rare books without ever having to touch them. We have combined the Leap Motion hands-free device and 3D rendered models to create a new virtual experience for the viewer.<br />
<br />
The application allows the user to rotate and zoom in on a 3D representation of a rare book. The user is also able to ‘open’ the virtual book and flip through it using a natural user interface. Such as swiping the hand left or right to turn the page.<br />
<br />
The application is built on the .Net framework and is written in C#. 3D models are created using simple 3D software such as sketchup or Blender. Scans of the book cover and spine are created using simple flatbed scanners. The inside pages are scanned using overhead scanners. <br />
<br />
This talk with discuss the technologies used in developing the application and virtually any library could implement the application with virtually no coding at all. This presentation will have a demonstration of the software and also a chance for audience members to experience the Rare Book Leap Motion App themselves.<br />

<br />
'''Proposals for Prepared Talks:'''<br />
<br />
Prepared talks are 20 minutes (including setup and questions), and should focus on one or more of the following areas:<br />
<br />
* ''Projects'' you've worked on which incorporate innovative implementation of existing technologies and/or development of new software<br />
* ''Tools and technologies'' – How to get the most out of existing tools, standards and protocols (and ideas on how to make them better)<br />
* ''Technical issues'' - Big issues in library technology that should be addressed or better understood<br />
* ''Relevant non-technical issues'' – Concerns of interest to the Code4Lib community which are not strictly technical in nature, e.g. collaboration, diversity, organizational challenges, etc.<br />
<br />
'''To Propose a Talk'''<br />
* Log in to the wiki in order to submit a proposal. If you are not already registered, follow the instructions to do so.<br />
* Provide a title and brief (500 words or fewer) description of your proposed talk.<br />
* If you so choose, you may also indicate when, if ever, you have presented at a prior Code4Lib conference. This information is completely optional, but it may assist us in opening the conference to new presenters.<br />
<br />
As in past years, the Code4Lib community will vote on proposals that they would like to see included in the program. This year, however, only the top 10 proposals will be guaranteed a slot at the conference. Additional presentations will be selected by the Program Committee in an effort to ensure diversity in program content. Community votes will, of course, still weigh heavily in these decisions.<br />
<br />
Presenters whose proposals are selected for inclusion in the program will be guaranteed an opportunity to register for the conference. The standard conference registration fee will still apply.<br />
<br />
''Proposals can be submitted through '''Friday, November 8, 2013, at 5pm PST'''''. Voting will commence on November 18, 2013 and continue through December 6, 2013. The final line-up of presentations will be announced in early January, 2014.<br />

== Using Drupal to drive alternative presentation systems ==<br />
<br />
* [[User:Highermath|Cary Gordon]], The Cherry Hill Company, cgordon@chillco.com<br />
<br />
Recently, we have been building systems that use angular.js, Rails, or other systems for presentation, while leveraging Drupal's sophisticated content management capabilities on the back end.<br />
<br />
So far, these have been one-way systems, but as we move to Drupal 8 we are beginning to explore ways to further decouple the presentation and CMS functions.<br />

== A Book, a Web Browser and a Tablet: How Bibliotheca Alexandrina's Book Viewer Framework Makes It Possible ==<br />
<br />
* [[User:Mohammed.abuouda|Mohammed Abu ouda]], Bibliotheca Alexandrina (The new Library of Alexandria)<br />
<br />
A lot of institutions around the world are engaged in multiple digitization projects aiming at preserving the human knowledge present in books and availing them through multiple channels to people around the whole globe. These efforts will sure help close the digital gap particularly with the arrival of affordable e-readers, mobile phones and network coverage. However, the digital reading experience has not yet arrived to its maximum potential. Many readers miss features they like in their good old books and wish to find them in their digital counterpart. In an attempt to create a unique digital reading experience, Bibliotheca Alexandria (BA) created a flexible book viewing framework that is currently used to access its current collection of more than 300,000 digital books in five different languages which includes the largest collection of digitized Arabic books.<br />
<br />
Using open source tools, BA used the framework to develop a modular book viewer that can be deployed in different environments and is currently at the heart of various BA projects. The Book viewer provides several features creating a more natural reading experience. As with physical books, the reader can now personalize the books he reads by adding annotations like highlights, underlines and sticky notes to capture his thoughts and ideas in addition to being able to share the book with friends on social networks. The reader can perform a search across the content of the book receiving highlighted search results within the pages of the book. More features can be further added to the book viewer through its plugin architecture.<br />

== Structured data NOW: seeding schema.org in library systems ==<br />
<br />
* [http://coffeecode.net Dan Scott], Laurentian University<br />
** Previous code4lib presentations: [https://archive.org/details/code4lib.conf.2008.pres.CouchDBsacrilege CouchDB is sacrilege... mmm, delicious sacrilege] at Code4Lib 2008<br />
<br />
The semantic web, linked data, and structured data are all fantastic ideas with a barrier imposed by implementation constraints. If their system does not allow customizations, or the institution lacks skilled human resources, it does not matter how enthused a given library might be about publishing structured data... it will not happen. However, if the software in use simply publishes structured data by default, then the web will be populated for free. Really! No extra resources necessary.<br />
<br />
This presentation highlights Dan's work with systems such as Evergreen, Koha, and VuFind to enable the publication of schema.org structured data out-of-the-box. Along the way, we reflect the current state of the W3C Schema.org Bibliographic Extension community group efforts to shape the evolution of the schema.org vocabulary. Finally, hold on tight as we contemplate next steps and the possibilities of a world where structured data is the norm on the web.<br />

== Towards Pasta Code Nirvana: Using JavaScript MVC to Fill Your Programming Ravioli ==<br />
<br />
* Bret Davidson, North Carolina State University Libraries, bret_davidson@ncsu.edu<br />

<br />
JavaScript MVC frameworks are ushering in a golden age of robust and responsive web applications that take advantage of evergreen browsers, performant JS engines, and the unprecedented reach provided by billions of personal computing devices. The web browser has emerged as the world’s most popular application runtime and the complexity[1] and scope of JavaScript applications has exploded accordingly. Server-side web frameworks like Rails and Django have helped developers adhere to best practices like modularity, dependency injection, and unit testing for years, practices that are now being applied to JavaScript development through projects like Backbone[2], Ember[3], and Angular[4].<br />
<br />
This talk will discuss the issues JavaScript MVC frameworks are trying to solve, common features like data binding, implications for the future of web development[5], and the appropriateness of JavaScript MVC for library applications.<br />

Watching the Google Analytics Real-Time dashboard for the first time was mesmerizing. As soon as someone visited a site, I could see what page they were on. For a digital collections site with a lot of images, it was fun to see what visitors were looking at. But getting from Google Analytics to the image or other content of what was currently being viewed was cumbersome. The real-time experience was something I wanted share with others. I'll show you how I used a WebSocket service to create a real-time interface to digital collections.<br />
<br />
In the Hunt Library at NCSU we have some large video walls. I wanted to make HTML-based exhibits that featured viewer interactions. I'll show you how I converted Listen to Wikipedia [1] into an bring-your-own-device interactive exhibit. With WebSockets any HTML page can be remote controlled by any internet connected device.<br />
<br />
I will attempt to include real-time audience participation.<br />

== Rapid Development of Automated Tasks with the File Analyzer ==<br />
<br />
* Terry Brady, Georgetown University Libraries, twb27@georgetown.edu<br />
<br />
The Georgetown University Libraries have customized the File Analyzer and Metadata Harvester application (https://github.com/Georgetown-University-Libraries/File-Analyzer) to solve a number of library automation challenges:<br />
* validating digitized and reformatted files<br />
* validating vendor statistics for counter compliance<br />
* preparing collections of digital files for archiving and ingest<br />
* manipulating ILS import and export files<br />
<br />
The File Analyzer application was used by the US National Archives to validate 3.5 million digitized images from the 1940 Census. After implementing a customized ingest workflow within the File Analyzer, the Georgetown University Libraries was able to process an ingest backlog of over a thousand files of digital resources into DigitalGeorgetown, the Libraries’ Digital Collections and Institutional Repository platform. Georgetown is currently developing customized workflows that integrate Apache Tika, BagIt, and Marc conversion utilities.<br />
<br />
The File Analyzer is a desktop application with a powerful framework for implementing customized file validation and transformation rules. As new rules are deployed, they are presented to users within a user interface that is easy (and powerful) to use.<br />
<br />
Learn about the functionality that is available for download, how you can use this tool to automate workflows from digital collections to ILS ingests to electronic resources statistics and also discuss the opportunities to collaborate on enhancements to this application!<br />

== GeoHydra: How to Build a Geospatial Digital Library with Fedora ==<br />
<br />
* [http://stanford.edu/~drh Darren Hardy], Stanford University, drh@stanford.edu<br />
<br />
Geographically-rich data are exploding and putting fear in those trying to<br />
tackle integrating them into existing digital library infrastructures.<br />
Building a spatial data infrastructure that integrates with your digital<br />
library infrastructure need not be a daunting task. We have successfully<br />
deployed a geospatial digital library infrastructure using Fedora and<br />
open-source geospatial software [1]. We'll discuss the primary design<br />
decisions and technologies that led to a production deployment within a few<br />
months. Briefly, our architecture revolves around discovery, delivery, and<br />
metadata pipelines using open-source OpenGeoPortal [2], Solr [3], GeoServer<br />
[4], PostGIS [5], and GeoNetwork [6] technologies, plus the proprietary ESRI<br />
ArcMap [7] -- the GIS industry's workhorse. Finally, we'll discuss the key<br />
skillsets needed to build and maintain a spatial data infrastructure.<br />

==Under the Hood of Hadoop Processing at OCLC Research ==<br />
<br />
[http://roytennant.com/ Roy Tennant]<br />
<br />
* Previous Code4Lib presentations: 2006: "The Case for Code4Lib 501c(3)"<br />
<br />
[http://hadoop.apache.org/ Apache Hadoop] is widely used by Yahoo!, Google, and many others to process massive amounts of data quickly. OCLC Research uses a 40-node compute cluster with Hadoop and HBase to process the 300 million MARC records of WorldCat in various ways. This presentation will explain how Hadoop MapReduce works and illustrate it with specific examples and code. The role of the jobtracker in both monitoring and reporting on processes will be explained. String searching WorldCat will also be demonstrated live.<br />
<br />
== Quick and Easy Data Visualization with Google Visualization API and Google Chart Libraries ==<br />
<br />
[http://bohyunkim.net/blog Bohyun Kim], Florida International University, bohyun.kim@fiu.edu<br />
* 'No' previous Code4Lib presentations <br />
<br />
Do most of the data that your library collects stay in spreadsheets or are published as a static table with a series of boring numbers? Do your library stakeholders spend more time collecting the data than using it as a decision-making tool because the data is presented in a way that makes it hard for them [http://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery to quickly grasp its significance? ]<br />
<br />
This talk will provide an overview of [http://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/reference Google Visualization API] [2] and [http://developers.google.com/chart/ Google Chart Libraries] [3] to get you started on the way to quickly query and visualize your library data from remote data sources (e.g. a Google Spreadsheet or your own database) with (or without) cool-looking user-controls, animation effects, and even a dashboard.<br />
<br />
== Leap Motion + Rare Books: A hands-free way to view and interact with rare books in 3D ==<br />
<br />
[http://http://www.youtube.com/user/jpdenzer Juan Denzer], Binghamton University, jdenzer@binghamton.edu<br />
* 'No' previous Code4Lib presentations <br />
<br />
As rare books become more delicate over time, making them available to the public becomes harder. We at Binghamton University Library have developed an application that makes it easier to view rare books without ever having to touch them. We have combined the Leap Motion hands-free device and 3D rendered models to create a new virtual experience for the viewer.<br />
<br />
The application allows the user to rotate and zoom in on a 3D representation of a rare book. The user is also able to ‘open’ the virtual book and flip through it using a natural user interface. Such as swiping the hand left or right to turn the page.<br />
<br />
The application is built on the .Net framework and is written in C#. 3D models are created using simple 3D software such as sketchup or Blender. Scans of the book cover and spine are created using simple flatbed scanners. The inside pages are scanned using overhead scanners. <br />
<br />
This talk with discuss the technologies used in developing the application and virtually any library could implement the application with virtually no coding at all. This presentation will have a demonstration of the software and also a chance for audience members to experience the Rare Book Leap Motion App themselves.<br />
<br />

== Course Reserves Unleashed! ==<br />
<br />
* Bobbi Fox, Library Technology Services, Harvard University, bobbi_fox@harvard.edu<br />
* Gloria Korsman, Andover-Harvard Theological Library<br />
** No previous Code4Lib presentations <br />
<br />
Hey kids! Remember when SOAP was used for something other than washing? Our sophisticated (and highly functional) Course Reserves Request system does!<br />
<br />
However, while the system is great for submitting and processing course reserve requests, the student-facing presentation through Havard’s home-grown -- and soon to be replaced -- LMS leaves a lot to be desired. <br />
<br />
Follow along as we leverage Solr 4 as a No-SQL database, along with more progressive RESTful API techniques, to release Reserves data into the wild without interfering with reserves request processing -- and, in the process, open up the opportunity for other schools to feed their data in as well.<br />
<br />
== We Are All Disabled! Universal Web Design Making Web Services Accessible for Everyone ==<br />
<br />
Cynthia Ng, Accessibility Librarian, CILS at Langara College<br />
* No previous Code4Lib presentations (not counting lightning talks)<br />
<br />
We’re building and improving tools and services all the time, but do you only develop for the “average” user or add things for “disabled” users? We all use “assistive” technology accessing information in a multitude of ways with different platforms, devices, etc. Let’s focus on providing web services that are accessible to everyone without it being onerous or ugly. The aim is to get you thinking about what you can do to make web-based services and content more accessible for all from the beginning or with small amounts of effort whether you're a developer or not.<br />
<br />
The goal of the presentation is to provide both developers and content creators with information on simple, practical ways to make web content and web services more accessible. However, rather than thinking about putting in extra effort or making adjustment for those with disabilities, I want to help people think about how to make their websites more accessible for all users through universal web design.<br />
<br />
== Personalize your Google Analytics Data with Custom Events and Variables ==<br />
<br />
[http://joshwilson.net Josh Wilson], Systems Integration Librarian, State Library of North Carolina - joshwilsonnc@gmail.com<br />
<br />
At the State Library of North Carolina, we had more specific questions about the use of our digital collections than standard GA could provide. A few implementations of custom events and custom variables later, we have our answers.<br />
<br />
I'll demonstrate how these analytics add-ons work, and why implementation can sometimes be more complicated than just adding a few lines of JavaScript to your ga.js. I'll discuss some specific examples in use at the SLNC:<br />
<br />
* Capturing the content of specific metadata fields in CONTENTdm as Custom Events <br />
* Recording Drupal taxonomy terms as Custom Variables<br />
<br />
In both instances, this data deepened our understanding of how our sites and collections were being used, and in turn, we were able to report usage more accurately to content contributors and other stakeholders.<br />
<br />

== Behold Fedora 4: The Incredible Shrinking Repository! ==<br />
<br />
Esmé Cowles, UC San Diego Library. Previous talk: [http://code4lib.org/conference/2013/cowles-critchlow-westbrook All Teh Metadatas Re-Revisited] (2013)<br />
<br />
* One repository contains untold numbers of digital objects and powers many Hydra and Islandora apps<br />
* It speaks RDF, but contains no triplestore! (triplestores sold separately, SPARQL Update may be involved, some restrictions apply)<br />
* Flexible enough to tie itself in knots implementing storage and access control policies<br />
* Witness feats of strength and scalability, with dramatically increased performance and clustering<br />
* Plumb the depths of bottomless hierarchies, and marvel at the metadata woven into the very fabric of the repository<br />
* Ponder the paradox of ingesting large files by not ingesting them<br />
* Be amazed as Fedora 4 swallows other systems whole (including Fedora 3 repositories)<br />
* Watch novice developers setup Fedora 4 from scratch, with just a handful of incantations to Git and Maven<br />
<br />
The Fedora Commons Repository is the foundation of many digital collections, e-research, digital library, archives, digital preservation, institutional repository and open access publishing systems. This talk will focus on how Fedora 4 improves core repository functionality, adds new features, maintains backwards compatibility, and addresses the shortcomings of Fedora 3.<br />
<br />
== Organic Free-Range API Development - Making Web Services That You Will Actually Want to Consume ==<br />
<br />
Steve Meyer and Karen Coombs, OCLC<br />
<br />
Building web services can have great benefits by providing reusability of data and functionality. Underpinning your applications with a web service will allow you to write code once and support multiple environments: your library's web app, mobile applications, the embedded widget in your campus portal. However, building a web service is its own kind of artful programming. Doing it well requires attention to many of the same techniques and requirements as building web applications, though with different outcomes. <br />
<br />
So what are the usability principles for web services? How do you build a web service that you (and others) will actually want to use? In this talk, we’ll share some of the lessons learned - the good, the bad, and the ugly - through OCLC's work on the WorldCat Metadata API. This web service is a sophisticated API that provides external clients with read and write access to WorldCat data. It provides a model to help aspiring API creators navigate the potential complications of crafting a web service. We'll cover:<br />
<br />
* Loose coupling of data assets and resource-oriented data modeling at the core<br />
* Coding to standards vs. exposure of an internal data model<br />
* Authentication and security for web services: API Keys, Digital Signing, OAuth Flows<br />
* Building web services that behave as a suite so it looks like the left hand knows what the right hand is doing<br />
<br />
So at the end of the day, your team will know your API is a very good egg after all. <br />
<br />
If accepted, the presenters intend to produce and share a Quick Guide for building a web service that will reflect content presented in the talk.<br />
<br />
== Lucene's Latest (for Libraries) ==<br />
<br />
erik.hatcher@lucidworks.com<br />
<br />
Lucene powers the search capabilities of practically all library discovery platforms, by way of Solr, etc. The Lucene project evolves rapidly, and it's a full-time job to keep up with the ever improving features and scalability. This talk will distill and showcase the most relevant(!) advancements to date.<br />

What does a library do with a display that's seven feet tall and over twenty feet wide? I'll talk about why libraries might want large displays like this, what we're doing with them right now, and what we might do with them in the future. And I'll get into the fun details of how you build web applications for a browser window with about 14 million pixels (about 10 million more than a dual 24" monitor desktop setup).<br />

<div>'''Sign up for Lightning Talks!!'''<br />
<br />
Lightning talks are scheduled on all three days of the conference. A lightning talk is a fast-paced 5 minute talk on a topic of your choosing. Sign-ups for lightning talks will open immediately following the first keynote.<br />
<br />
Mark Jason Dominus has a nice page [http://perl.plover.com/lt/lightning-talks.html about lightning talks], which includes this summary of why you might want to do one:<br />
<br />
''Maybe you've never given a talk before, and you'd like to start small. For a Lightning Talk, you don't need to make slides, and if you do decide to make slides, you only need to make three.''<br />
<br />
''Maybe you're nervous and you're afraid you'll mess up. It's a lot easier to plan and deliver a five minute talk than it is to deliver a long talk. And if you do mess up, at least the painful part will be over quickly.''<br />
<br />
''Maybe you don't have much to say. Maybe you just want to ask a question, or invite people to help you with your project, or boast about something you did, or tell a short cautionary story. These things are all interesting and worth talking about, but there might not be enough to say about them to fill up thirty minutes.''<br />
<br />
You might also like Mark Fowler's's [http://www.perl.com/pub/2004/07/30/lightningtalk.html Advice for Giving a Lightning Talk].<br />

===Drupal4lib Sub-con Barcamp===<br />
====UIC Forum, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm on Monday, February 11====<br />
* Contact [[User:highermath|Cary Gordon]], cgordon@chillco.com or <br />
* [[User:cdmo|Charlie Morris]], NCSU Libraries, cdmorris@ncsu.edu<br />
<br />
This will be a full day of self-selected barcamp style sessions. Anyone who wants to present can write down the topic on an index card and, after the keynote, we will vote to choose what we want to see. Attendees can also pick a topic and attempt to talk someone else into presenting on it.<br />
<br />
If we run out of topics, we will pay homage to the project by testing patches for Drupal 8. It is easy, and we will show you how to do this invaluable task.<br />
<br />
This event is open to the library community. There is a nominal fee ($10) for non-Code4LibCon attendees.<br />
<br />
Local Drupal uber-ninja Larry Garfield will stop by to answer questions and give us some guidance.<br />

The rest of code4libcon is pretty well structured these days; come in the morning for a few hours of old-school [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-space_technology open space technology] unconference. Bring a rough talk or idea you want to share or questions you have or something you want to learn about or discuss with other people, and be ready to tell us about it. Use it as extra prep time for your upcoming prepared or lightning talk if you want. We'll plan the morning out a little bit at the beginning, but not too much. What we do will be up to the people there in the room.<br />
<br />
If there's interest, we could start with a "welcome to code4lib" introductory session for newcomers.<br />

Are you interested in making it easier for users to obtain copies of known items? Do you feel your OpenURL and Interlibrary Loan software could be streamlined? This pre-conference workshop will focus on providing services that deliver content to users. Discovery systems are doing a better job of exposing library holdings but there's still a lot of work to do actually get the content in the users hands. <br />
<br />
Possible topics/activities include:<br />
* group discussion of what some libraries have done in this area<br />
* comparisons of different approaches to addressing delivery <br />
* overview of tools available <br />
* sharing of strategies and experiences<br />
* time to work with and review open source code in this area. Some possible tools to install and test out [https://github.com/team-umlaut/umlaut Umlaut], [https://github.com/lawlesst/heroku-360link Py360 Link]. <br />

===Intro to NoSQL Databases===<br />
====1-470 Richard J. Daley Library, 9:00 am to 12:00 pm on Monday, February 11====<br />
* Joshua Gomez, George Washington University, jngomez at gwu edu<br />
<br />
Since Google published its paper on BigTable in 2006, alternatives to the traditional relational database model have been growing in both variety and popularity. These new databases (often referred to as NoSQL databases) excel at handling problems faced by modern information systems that the traditional relational model cannot. They are particularly popular among organizations tackling the so-called "Big Data" problems. However, there are always tradeoffs involved when making such dramatic changes. Understanding how these different kinds of databases are designed and what they can offer is essential to the decision making process. In this precon I will discuss some of the various types of new databases (key-value, columnar, document, graph) and walk through examples or exercises using some of their open source implementations like Riak, HBase, MongoDB, and Neo4j.<br />

==Half Day Afternoon==<br />
=== Data Visualization Hackfest ===<br />
====1-470 Richard J. Daley Library, 1:30 pm to 5:30 pm on Monday, February 11====<br />
* Chris Beer, cabeer at stanford.edu<br />
* Dan Chudnov, dchud at gwu edu<br />
<br />
* Description: Want to hack/design/plan/document on a team of people who enjoy learning by creating? Interested in data visualization? Well, this hackfest is for you. Not familiar with the concept of a hackfest? See Roy Tennant's [http://www.libraryjournal.com/article/CA332564.html "Where Librarians Go To Hack"] and the page for the [http://access2010.lib.umanitoba.ca/node/3.html Access 2010 Hackfest]. We propose a half-day hackfest with a focus on visualization library data -- think stuff like library catalog data, access/circulation statistics, etc. Here's how it works, roughly: <br />
- we'll (you'll!) do lightning tutorials for some data visualization tools, toolkits (R? d3js? ?), datasets.<br />
- we'll separate into groups and hack on stuff.<br />
- at the end of the day, we'll present our progress.<br />
<br />
Not a code hacker? No worries; all skill sets and backgrounds are valuable! <br />

Hydra (http://projecthydra.org) is a free and open source repository solution that is being used by institutions on both sides of the North Atlantic to provide access to their digital content. Hydra provides a versatile and feature rich environment for end-users and repository administrators alike. Leveraging Blacklight as its front end discovery interface, the hydra project provides a suite of software components, data models, and design patterns for building a robust and sustainable digital repository, as well as a community of support for ongoing development. This workshop will provide an introduction to the hydra project and its software components. Attendees will leave with enough knowledge to get started building their own local repository solutions. This workshop will be led by Adam Wead of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. <br />

Blacklight (http://projectblacklight.org) is a free and open source discovery interface built on solr and ruby on rails. It is used by institutions such as Stanford University, NC State, WGBH, Johns Hopkins University, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and an ever expanding community of adopters and contributors. Blacklight can be used as a front-end discovery solution for an ILS, or the contents of a digital repository, or to provide a unified discovery solution for many siloed collections. In this workshop we will cover the basics of solr indexing and searching, setting up and customizing Blacklight, and leave time for Q&A around local issues people might encounter. <br />
<br />
Note: this workshop will be tailored as a follow-on to the morning's RailsBridge Intro to Ruby on Rails workshop, but everyone is welcome<br />

=== DPLA Intro/Hacking ===<br />
====Seminar Room A of Richard J. Daley Library, 1:30 pm to 5:30 pm on Monday, February 11==== <br />
* Presenter(s)/Leader(s): Nate Hill (Chattanooga Public Library, DPLA Audience and Participation Co-chair), SJ Klein (Wikimedia, OLPC, DPLA Technical Aspects Co-chair), Jeff Licht (DPLA Technical Development Project Manager)<br />
<br />
The [http://dp.la Digital Public Library of America] (DPLA) is an open source metadata repository that provides read-only access to millions of records from across the United States via an open REST API. All API queries are returned as JSON-LD, a lightweight linked data format, and the metadata is freely reusable under a CC0 public domain license. A front-end portal is currently under development and will be launched in April 2013, though it will serve as but one way into the DPLA’s data. The DPLA encourages the development of applications and tools by developers of all skill levels and backgrounds. In this workshop, participants will actively code against the API to make apps, visualization tools, plug-ins, and other interesting tools that make use of DPLA data. <br />

=== Fail4lib ===<br />
====1-360 Richard J. Daley Library, 1:30 pm to 5:30 pm on Monday, February 11====<br />
* Jason Casden, NCSU Libraries (jmcasden at ncsu.edu)<br />
* Andreas Orphanides, NCSU Libraries (akorphan at ncsu.edu)<br />
<br />
The Code4lib community is full of driven people who embrace the risks that are often associated with new projects. While these traits lead to the incredible projects that are presented at Code4lib, creative technical work also often leads to unexpected, vexing, or disappointing results even from eventually successful projects (however you define the term). Learning more about how our colleagues deal with failure in various contexts could lead to the development of better methods for communicating the value of productive failure, modifying project plans ("The Pivot"), and failing more cheaply.<br />
<br />
Hopefully we can define the format as a group, but a fairly high level of participation is crucial if this is to be a worthwhile preconference. Some possible agenda items that could be mixed and matched to fill the afternoon:<br />
<br />
# Given willing presenters, a series of 10-20 minute presentations that go into some depth about specific failures.<br />
# Depending on the number of participants, either a multi- or single-track series of unconference-like themed discussions on various aspects of failure, possibly including themes like:<br />
#* Technical failure<br />
#* Failure to effectively address a real user need<br />
#* Overinvestment<br />
#* Outreach/Promotion failure<br />
#* Design/UX failure<br />
#* Project team communication failure<br />
#* Missed opportunities (risk-averse failure)<br />
#* Successes gleaned from failures<br />
# A panel of participants who have prepared in advance to answer moderator and audience questions about their experience with failure.<br />
# A prepared reading assignment that we could all forget to read, creating a shared fail in order to start the preconference on the right foot.<br />
<br />
I'll serve as a moderator (if needed) and participant and would welcome more organizers. I am happy to be outvoted by participants on any of these points--I just want to get us talking about our screw-ups, blind spots, and anvils dropping from the sky.<br />

=== Solr 4 In Depth ===<br />
====UIC Forum, 1:30 pm to 5:30 pm on Monday, February 11====<br />
* Contact: Erik Hatcher (erik.hatcher at lucidworks.com)<br />
<br />
The long awaited and much anticipated Solr 4 has been released! It's a really big deal. There are so many improvements, it makes the head spin. This session will cover the major feature improvements from Lucene's flexible indexing and scoring API up through SolrCloud in a digestable half-day format. Sounds like this is an evening thing that might happen at a bar somewhere?<br />

<br />
* Aviary: super-crazy cocktails. http://www.molecularrecipes.com/molecular-mixology/aviary-cocktails/ . List your name if you're interested, whether Sunday, Monday, and/or Tuesday (after newcomer dinners) work, and whether you're just interested in stopping by, or doing a 7 cocktail tasting flight.*<br />
** statsfool: sunday/monday/tuesday, either drinks or flight.<br />
** Amyhannah: monday/tuesday, drinks, probably not the flight.<br />
** anarchivist: sunday/monday, prefer drinks over flight but could be convinced<br />
** [[User:highermath|highermath]]: monday (could use 10 cocktails after Drupal subCon, I am sure). Uber now works in Chicago, so I would do the flight.<br />
** [[User:pberry|pberry]]: any night but Wednesday (that's Goose Island night) and I'd be up for drinks or flight, although leaning away from flight.<br />
** [[User:thatandromeda|thatandromeda]] oh my gosh yes, any time, probably not the flight.<br />
** [[User:Gdave|gdave]] beautiful site, I would be interested, Sun,Mon,Tues. either drink or flight.<br />
** scollett: sun, drinks, maybe flight.<br />
** [[User:shawnc12|shawnc12]]: sunday/monday, either drink or flight<br />
** beatricep: sunday/monday drink, highly susceptible to flight by peer pressure..<br />
* Brewery tour - some possible candidates would be Goose Island, Brew Bus http://www.chicagobrewbus.com/, Piece, Revolution, Half Acre.<br />
* Library field trips - because we're library geeks. Possible places include Newberry and Read/Write.--Read/Write Library confirmed for February 12.--Newberry Library confirmed for February 14.<br />
* Art Institute of Chicago - Only open until 5pm, but possible for people coming in early enough on Sunday.<br />
** escowles: I'm getting in around noon on Sunday, and interested in this.<br />
** pgrayove: I'm getting in around noon on Sunday too. I'm interested.<br />
* Local Option http://localoptionbier.com/ - So you've heard of Hopleaf, you've heard of Maproom. Come to Chicago's *ahem* best kept secret for good food and an evening session on Monday. We will need a tally to make requisite arrangements.<br />

No this is not a joke. If you haven't heard Rosy is an aspiring trapeze artists and wants to bring the fun to her friends in Code4Lib. There is a trapeze rig in Chicago and she plans on visiting it and hopes that some of you can come along as well. If its your first time taking a trapeze class, they'll start you off learning [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oqPi_zuX7A a knee hang] and depending on how that goes you might be able to catch it at the end of class. If you have any questions about whether or not this is for you, [http://chicago.trapezeschool.com/classes/trapeze.php TSNY Chicago's website] should have the answer, if not feel free to contact Rosy.<br />
<br />
Trapeze classes are $57, last 2 hours, and are limited to 10 people. Currently TSNY Chicago hasn't release their class schedule for February -- they should be doing that around Jan. 1. If we can get enough people interested before then, we can buy out a whole class. If not it'll be first come, first serve (along with the general public).<br />

=== Game Night! ===<br />
<br />
Moved this from idea to an actual event. Still getting some details, but here's what we know:<br />
<br />
We have a conference room at the UIC library reserved for 7:30 on Tuesday the 11th. Not sure how late we'll play. I'll bring some board games and pick up some cards. List below were people who were interested in games and what games they are bringing.<br />
<br />
(Note, there's also some discussion on Cards Against Humanity. I will try to make sure there's an alternative game, but I don't know if I want to prohibit any games. I would say though to remember to be respectful and curteous to those around you. I will probably be pondering this issue for a while)<br />
<br />
This will get updated more as I have time to spend on it.<br />
<br />
Game Night! Type of games might vary due to interest, could range from party games like Werewolf, Wits & Wagers, Telestrations, Taboo, Apples to Apples to perhaps more strategic games like De Vulgari Eloquentia or Eclipse. Jon Gorman is willing to bring some games, are you? Jon will try to send out an email soon to get some interest.<br />
** yo_bj: I have some games I can bring as well (Kill Doctor Lucky, Fluxx, Godzilla: Stomp, Munchkin Zombies, etc.). Monday doesn't have anything major planned...<br />
**danwho: I 'll bring the Cards Against Humanity set.<br />
**escowles (Mon/Tue preferred): I've got lots of games I could bring like Settlers of Catan, Carcassonne, Ticket to Ride, Age of Renaissance, Elfenland, Agricola, Le Havre, Smallworld, RoboRally, etc. etc.<br />
**jen_young: I'm local and I have quite a few games. Just about every version of Fluxx, Bananagrams, Gloom, Munchkin Cthulu,Cards Against Humanity, Apples to Apples, Risk, Last Night on Earth, etc.)<br />
** decasm: Interested in Go (aka igo, weiqi, baduk) anytime, not just game night. I can do Catan as well. (And as much as I love it, Cards Against Humanity is probably a violation of the new Code of Conduct.)<br />
** csharp: I'm interested in playing games - whatever people bring. I almost always travel with a pack or two of playing cards ;-). Monday or Tuesday nights are fine.<br />
** moneill: I would love to join in! I have a version of Catchphrase floating around somewhere, and I think I have Battleship...I need to go weed around in that drawer and see what else presents itself. Tuesday would be my preferred night, but I will make it work!<br />
** demiankatz: I'm always up for a game. I'm hoping to travel light so probably shouldn't bring anything, but if there's a local game shop, I might be persuaded to pick up something new as a souvenir.<br />
** sekjal: I've got [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/36218/dominion Dominion], [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/68448/7-wonders 7 Wonders], [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/30933/bang-the-bullet Bang!], [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/18333/ecofluxx EcoFluxx] and [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/116/guillotine Guillotine] that I can bring. ++ on Cards against Humanity! Prefer non-conflict with beer night.<br />
** arty: so totally interested. Unfortunately, I have no games to contribute.<br />
** sanderson: I would be interested. I can bring [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/478/citadels Citadels] (2-7 players)<br />
** dvdndrsn: Definitely in! Can bring Innovation, Tichu, Dominion, but Cards Against Humanity sounds good. <br />
** smkiewel: I'm likely to join. Can bring Arkham Horror and Munchkin.<br />
** jkwilson: I'd like to attend Monday or Tuesday. I have a bunch of games but I'd prefer not to travel with them, and anyway it sounds like they're covered above. I'll bring the 5-6 player Catan extension.<br />
** ejlynema: Interested, but will probably attend Newcomer dinner on Tuesday. Like Dominion and 7 Wonders, but probably don't have room to bring in suitcase. Anyone bringing Tsuro?<br />
** Christie Peterson (save4use): Also interested, but also probably attending newcomer dinner on Tuesday. Can bring [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/11/bohnanza Bohnanza] and one deck of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_%28game%29 Set]. <br />
** dgcliff: I'd be interested. Can bring Ticket to Ride.<br />
** mbklein: definitely interested. Will check on my (currently unpacked) games. I am dying to play Cards Against Humanity. If we can't find a way to reconcile it with the Code of Conduct, we need a different Code of Conduct.<br />
*** Considering that this is a public event, and that no one knows everyone's sensitivity levels in the room, it might not be a good idea to break out a crass, adult version of apples to apples in the middle of the gaming room. :cP (yo_bj)<br />
** duspal: In. My board game collection is small but mighty (Arkham Horror, Catan, Vampire: Prince of the City, Deadlands: Battle for Slaughter Gulch, Arabian Nights, Diplomacy, Shogun, and Cosmic Encounter off the top of my head, amongst a few others). Let me know ahead of time if anyone is interested, since they're all relatively big...<br />
**librarywebchic: I'm willing to bring a set and teach folks how to play Majhong. Need at least three to play though.<br />
**beatricep: Uno gets no respect. ;-) @librarywebchic: I have always wanted to learn to play Majhong. If you're still bringing it, I'm in!<br />
** jcraitz: I'm in after the newcomer dinner. I'll bring Citadels and Bang!<br />

== VuFind 2.0: Why and How? ==<br />
<br />
* Demian Katz, Villanova University, demian.katz@villanova.edu<br />
<br />
A major new version of the VuFind discovery software is currently in development. While VuFind 1.x remains extremely popular, some of its components are beginning to show their age. VuFind 2.0 aims to retain all the strengths of the previous version of the software while making the architecture cleaner, more modern and more standards-based. This presentation will examine the motivation behind the update, preview some of the new features to look forward to, and discuss the challenges of creating a developer-friendly open source package in PHP.<br />
<br />
== Open Source Software Registry ==<br />
<br />
* [[User:DataGazetteer|Peter Murray]], LYRASIS, Peter.Murray@lyrasis.org<br />
<br />
LYRASIS is creating and shepherding a [[Registry_E-R_Diagram|registry of library open source software]] as part of its [http://www.lyrasis.org/News/Press-Releases/2011/LYRASIS-Receives-Grant-to-Support-Open-Source.aspx grant from the Mellon Foundation to support the adoption of open source software by libraries]. <br />
The goal of the grant is to help libraries of all types determine if open source software is right for them, and what combination of software, hosting, training, and consulting works for their situation. <br />
The registry is intended to become a community exchange point and stimulant for growth of the library open source ecosystem by connecting libraries with projects, service providers, and events.<br />
<br />
The first half of this session will demonstrate the registry functions and describe how projects and providers can get involved. <br />
The second half of the session will be a brainstorming suggestion of how to expand the functionality and usefulness of the registry.<br />

== Property Graphs And TinkerPop Applications in Digital Libraries ==<br />
<br />
* Brian Tingle, California Digital Library, brian.tingle.cdlib.org@gmail.com<br />
<br />
[http://www.tinkerpop.com/ TinkerPop] is an open source software development group focusing on technologies in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_database graph database] space. <br />
This talk will provide a general introduction to the TinkerPop Graph Stack and the [https://github.com/tinkerpop/gremlin/wiki/Defining-a-Property-Graph property graph model] is uses. The introduction will include code examples and explanations of the property graph models used by the [http://socialarchive.iath.virginia.edu/ Social Networks in Archival Context] project and show how the historical social graph is exposed as a JSON/REST API implemented by a TinkerPop [https://github.com/tinkerpop/rexster rexster] [https://github.com/tinkerpop/rexster-kibbles Kibble] that contains the application's graph theory logic. Other graph database applications possible with TinkerPop such as RDF support, and citation analysis will also be discussed.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Security in Mind ==<br />
<br />
* Erin Germ, United States Naval Academy, Nimitz Library, germ@usna.edu<br />
<br />
I would like to talk about security of library software.<br />
<br />
Over the Summer, I discovered a critical vulnerability in a vendor’s software that (verified) allowed me to assume any user’s identity for that site, (verified) switch to any user, and to (unverified, meaning I didn’t not perform this as I didn’t want to “hack” another library’s site) assume the role of any user for any other library who used this particular vendor's software.<br />
<br />
Within a 3 hour period, I discovered a 2 vulnerabilities: 1) minor one allowing me to access any backups from any library site, and 2) a critical vulnerability. From start to finish, the examination, discovery in the vulnerability, and execution of a working exploit was done in less than 2 hours. The vulnerability was a result of poor cookie implementation. The exploit itself revolved around modifying the cookie, and then altering the browser’s permissions by assuming the role of another user.<br />
<br />
I do not intend on stating which vendor it was, but I will show how I was able to perform this. If needed, I can do further research and “investigation” into other vendor's software to see what I can “find”.<br />
<br />
''If selected, I will contact the vendor to inform them that I will present about this at C4L2012. I do not intend on releasing the name of the vendor.''<br />
<br />
== Search Engines and Libraries ==<br />
<br />
* Greg Lindahl, blekko CTO, greg@blekko.com<br />
<br />
[https://blekko.com blekko] is a new web-scale search engine which enables end-users to create vertical search engines, through a feature called [http://help.blekko.com/index.php/category/slashtags/ slashtags]. Slashtags can contain as few as 1 or as many as tens of thousands of websites relevant to a narrow or broad topic. We have an extensive set of slashtags curated by a combination of volunteers and an in-house librarian team, or end-users can create and share their own. This talk will cover examples of slashtag creation relevant to libraries, and show how to embed this search into a library website, either using javascript or via our API.<br />
<br />
''We have exhibited at a couple of library conferences, and have received a lot of interest. blekko is a free service.''<br />

== Beyond code. Versioning data with Git and Mercurial. ==<br />
<br />
* Stephanie Collett, California Digital Library, stephanie.collett@ucop.edu<br />
* Martin Haye, California Digital Library, martin.haye@ucop.edu<br />
<br />
Within a relatively short time since their introduction, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_Version_Control_System distributed version control systems] (DVCS) like [http://git-scm.com/ Git] and [http://mercurial.selenic.com/ Mercurial] have enjoyed widespread adoption for versioning code. It didn’t take long for the library development community to start discussing the potential for using DVCS within our applications and repositories to version data. After all, many of the features that have made some of these systems popular in the open source community to version code (e.g. lightweight, file-based, compressed, reliable) also make them compelling options for versioning data. And why write an entire versioning system from scratch if a DVCS solution can be a drop-in solution? At the [http://www.cdlib.org/ California Digital Library] (CDL) we’ve started using Git and Mercurial in some of our applications to version data. This has proven effective in some situations and unworkable in others. This presentation will be a practical case study of CDL’s experiences with using DVCS to version data. We will explain how we’re incorporating Git and Mercurial in our applications, describe our successes and failures and consider the issues involved in repurposing these systems for data versioning.<br />
<br />
==Design for Developers==<br />
<br />
*Lisa Kurt, University of Nevada, Reno, lkurt@unr.edu<br />
<br />
Users expect good design. This talk will delve into what makes really great design, what to look for, and how to do it. Learn the principles of great design to take your applications, user interfaces, and projects to a higher level. With years of experience in graphic design and illustration, Lisa will discuss design principles, trends, process, tools, and development. Design examples will be from her own projects as well as a variety from industry. You’ll walk away with design knowledge that you can apply immediately to a variety of applications and a number of top notch go-to resources to get you up and running.<br />
<br />
==Building research applications with Mendeley==<br />
<br />
William Gunn, Mendeley william.gunn@mendeley.com (@mrgunn)<br />
<br />
This is partly a tool talk and partly a big idea one.<br />
<br />
Mendeley has built the world's largest open database of research and we've now begun to collect some interesting social metadata around the document metadata. I would like to share with the Code4Lib attendees information about using this resource to do things within your application that have previously been impossible for the library community, or in some cases impossible without expensive database subscriptions. One thing that's now possible is to augment catalog search by surfacing information about content usage, allowing people to not only find things matching a query, but popular things or things read by their colleagues. In addition to augmenting search, you can also use this information to augment discovery. Imagine an online exhibit of artifacts from a newly discovered dig not just linking to papers which discuss the artifact, but linking to really good interesting papers about the place and the people who made the artifacts. So the big idea is, "How will looking at the literature from a broader perspective than simple citation analysis change how research is done and communicated? How can we build tools that make this process easier and faster?" I can show some examples of applications that have been built using the Mendeley and PLoS APIs to begin to address this question, and I can also present results from Mendeley's developer challenge which shows what kinds of applications researchers are looking for, what kind of applications peope are building, and illustrates some interesting places where the two don't overlap.<br />

==Your UI can make or break the application (to the user, anyway)==<br />
<br />
* Robin Schaaf, University of Notre Dame, schaaf.4@nd.edu<br />
<br />
UI development is hard and too often ends up as an after-thought to computer programmers - if you were a CS major in college I'll bet you didn't have many, if any, design courses. I'll talk about how to involve the users upfront with design and some common pitfalls of this approach. I'll also make a case for why you should do the screen design before a single line of code is written. And I'll throw in some ideas for increasing usability and attractiveness of your web applications. I'd like to make a case study of the UI development of our open source ERMS.<br />
<br />
==Why Nobody Knows How Big The Library Really Is - Perspective of a Library Outside Turned Insider==<br />
<br />
* Patrick Berry, California State University, Chico, pberry@csuchico.edu<br />
<br />
In this talk I would like to bring the perspective of an "outsider" (although an avowed IT insider) to let you know that people don't understand the full scope of the library. As we "rethink education", it is incumbent upon us to help educate our institutions as to the scope of the library. I will present some of the tactics I'm employing to help people outside, and in some cases inside, the library to understand our size and the value we bring to the institution.<br />
<br />
==Building a URL Management Module using the Concrete5 Package Architecture==<br />
<br />
* David Uspal, Villanova University, david.uspal@villanova.edu<br />
<br />
Keeping track of URLs utilized across a large website such as a university library, and keeping that content up to date for subject and course guides, can be a pain, and as an open source shop, we’d like to have open source solution for this issue. For this talk, I intend to detail our solution to this issue by walking step-by-step through the building process for our URL Management module -- including why a new solution was necessary; a quick rundown of our CMS ([http://www.concrete5.org Concrete5], a CMS that isn’t Drupal); utilizing the Concrete5 APIs to isolate our solution from core code (to avoid complications caused by core updates); how our solution was integrated into the CMS architecture for easy installation; and our future plans on the project.<br />
<br />
==Building an NCIP connector to OpenSRF to facilitate resource sharing==<br />
<br />
* Jon Scott, Lyrasis, jon_scott@wsu.edu and Kyle Banerjee, Orbis Cascade Alliance, banerjek@uoregon.edu <br />
<br />
How do you reverse engineer any protocol to provide a new service? Humans (and worse yet, committees) often design verbose protocols built around use cases that don't line up current reality. To compound difficulties, the contents of protocol containers are not sufficiently defined/predictable and the only assistance available is sketchy documentation and kind individuals on the internet willing to share what they learned via trial by fire.<br />
<br />
<br />
NCIP (Niso Circulation Interchange Protocol) is an open standard that defines a set of messages to support exchange of circulation data between disparate circulation, interlibrary loan, and related applications -- widespread adoption of NCIP would eliminate huge amounts of duplicate processing in separate systems. <br />
<br />
<br />
This presentation discusses how we learned enough about NCIP and OpenSRF from scratch to build an NCIP responder for Evergreen to facilitate resource sharing in a large consortium that relies on over 20 different ILSes.<br />
<br />
==Practical Agile: What's Working for Stanford, Blacklight, and Hydra==<br />
<br />
* Naomi Dushay, Stanford University Libraries, ndushay@stanford.edu<br />
<br />
Agile development techniques can be difficult to adopt in the context of library software development. Maybe your shop has only one or two developers, or you always have too many simultaneous projects. Maybe your new projects can’t be started until 27 librarians reach consensus on the specifications.<br />
<br />
This talk will present successful Agile- and Silicon-Valley-inspired practices we’ve adopted at Stanford and/or in the Blacklight and Hydra projects. We’ve targeted developer happiness as well as improved productivity with our recent changes. User stories, dead week, sight lines … it’ll be a grab bag of goodies to bring back to your institution, including some ideas on how to adopt these practices without overt management buy in.<br />
<br />
==Quick and <strike>Dirty</strike> Clean Usability: Rapid Prototyping with Bootstrap==<br />
<br />
* Shaun Ellis, Princeton University Libraries, shaune@princeton.edu <br />
<br />
''"The code itself is unimportant; a project is only as useful as people actually find it." - Linus Torvalds'' [http://bit.ly/p4uuyy]<br />
<br />
Usability has been a buzzword for some time now, but what is the process for making the the transition toward a better user experience, and hence, better designed library sites? I will discuss the one facet of the process my team is using to redesign the Finding Aids site for Princeton University Libraries (still in development). The approach involves the use of rapid prototyping, with Bootstrap [http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/], to make sure we are on track with what users and stakeholders expect up front, and throughout the development process.<br />
<br />
Because Bootstrap allows for early and iterative user feedback, it is more effective than the historic Photoshop mockups/wireframe technique. The Photoshop approach allows stakeholders to test the look, but not the feel -- and often leaves developers scratching their heads. Being a CSS/HTML/Javascript grid-based framework, Bootstrap makes it easy for anyone with a bit of HTML/CSS chops to quickly build slick, interactive prototypes right in the browser -- tangible solutions which can be shared, evaluated, revised, and followed by all stakeholders (see Minimum Viable Products [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_viable_product]). Efficiency is multiplied because the customized prototypes can flow directly into production use, as is the goal with iterative development approaches, such as the Agile methodology.<br />
<br />
While Bootstrap is not the only framework that offers grid-based layout, development is expedited and usability is enhanced by Bootstraps use of of "prefabbed" conventional UI patterns, clean typography, and lean Javascript for interactivity. Furthermore, out-of-the box Bootstrap comes in a fairly neutral palette, so focus remains on usability, and does not devolve into premature discussions of color or branding choices. Finally, using Less can be a powerful tool in conjunction with Bootstrap, but is not necessary. I will discuss the pros and cons, and offer examples for how to getting up and running with or without Less.<br />
<br />
==Search Engine Relevancy Tuning - A Static Rank Framework for Solr/Lucene==<br />
<br />
* Mike Schultz, Amazon.com (formerly Summon Search Architect) mike.schultz@gmail.com<br />
<br />
Solr/Lucene provides a lot of flexibility for adjusting relevancy scoring and improving search results. Roughly speaking there are two areas of concern: Firstly, a 'dynamic rank' calculation that is a function of the user query and document text fields. And secondly, a 'static rank' which is independent of the query and generally is a function of non-text document metadata. In this talk I will outline an easily understood, hand-tunable static rank system with a minimal number of parameters.<br />
<br />
The obvious major feature of a search engine is to return results relevant to a user query. Perhaps less obvious is the huge role query independent document features play in achieving that. Google's PageRank is an example of a static ranking of web pages based on links and other secret sauce. In the Summon service, our 800 million documents have features like publication date, document type, citation count and Boolean features like the-article-is-peer-reviewed. These fields aren't textual and remain 'static' from query to query, but need to influence a document's relevancy score. In our search results, with all query related features being equal, we'd rather have more recent documents above older ones, Journals above Newspapers, and articles that are peer reviewed above those that are not. The static rank system I will describe achieves this and has the following features:<br />
<br />
* Query-time only calculation - nothing is baked into the index - with parameters adjustable at query time.<br />
* The system is based on a signal metaphor where components are 'wired' together. System components allow multiplexing, amplifying, summing, tunable band-pass filtering, string-to-value-mapping all with a bare minimum of parameters.<br />
* An intuitive approach for mixing dynamic and static rank that is more effective than simple adding or multiplying.<br />
* A way of equating disparate static metadata types that leads to understandable results ordering.<br />
<br />
==Submitting Digitized Book-like things to the Internet Archive==<br />
<br />
* Joel Richard, Smithsonian Institution Libraries, richardjm@si.edu<br />
<br />
The Smithsonian Libraries has submitted thousands of out-of-copyright items to the Internet Archive over the years. Specifically in relation to the Biodiversity Heritage Library, we have developed an in-house boutique scanning and upload process that became a learning experience in automated uploading to the Archive. As part of the software development, we created a whitepaper that details the combined learning experiences of the Smithsonian Libraries and the Missouri Botanical Garden. We will discuss some of the the contents of this whitepaper in the context of our scanning process and the manner in which we upload items to the Archive. <br />
<br />
Our talk will include a discussion of the types of files and their formats used by the Archive, processes that the Archive performs on uploaded items, ways of interacting and affecting those processes, potential pitfalls and solutions that you may encounter when uploading, and tools that the Archive provides to help monitor and manage your uploaded documents. <br />
<br />
Finally, we'll wrap up with a brief summary of how to use things that are on the Internet Archive in your own websites.<br />
<br />
== So... you think you want to Host a Code4Lib National Conference, do you? ==<br />
<br />
* Elizabeth Duell, Orbis Cascade Alliance, eduell@uoregon.edu<br />
<br />
Are you interested in hosting your own Code4Lib Conference? Do you know what it would take? What does BEO stands for? What does F&B Minimum mean? Who would you talk to for support/mentoring? There are so many things to think about: internet support, venue size, rooming blocks, contracts, dietary restrictions and coffee (can't forget the coffee!) just to name a few. Putting together a conference of any size can look daunting, so let's take the scary out of it and replace it with a can do attitude!<br />

Be a step ahead of the game by learning from the people behind the curtain. Ask questions and be given templates/ cheat sheets! <br />
<br />
== HTML5 Microdata and Schema.org ==<br />
<br />
* Jason Ronallo, North Carolina State University Libraries, jason_ronallo@ncsu.edu<br />
<br />
When the big search engines announced support for HTML5 microdata and the schema.org vocabularies, the balance of power for semantic markup in HTML shifted. <br />
* What is microdata? <br />
* Where does microdata fit with regards to other approaches like RDFa and microformats? <br />
* Where do libraries stand in the worldview of Schema.org and what can they do about it? <br />
* How can implementing microdata and schema.org optimize your sites for search engines?<br />
* What tools are available?<br />
<br />
== Stack View: A Library Browsing Tool ==<br />
<br />
* Annie Cain, Harvard Library Innovation Lab, acain@law.harvard.edu<br />
* Jeff Goldenson, Harvard Library Innovation Lab, jgoldenson@law.harvard.edu<br />
<br />
In an effort to recreate and build upon the traditional method of browsing a physical library, we used catalog data, including dimensions and page count, to create a [http://librarylab.law.harvard.edu/projects/stackview/ virtual shelf].<br />
<br />
This CSS and JavaScript backed visualization allows items to sit on any number of different shelves, really taking advantage of its digital nature. See how we built Stack View on top of our data and learn how you can create shelves of your own using our open source code.<br />
<br />
== “Linked-Data-Ready” Software for Libraries ==<br />
<br />
* Jennifer Bowen, University of Rochester River Campus Libraries, jbowen@library.rochester.edu<br />
<br />
Linked data is poised to replace MARC as the basis for the new library bibliographic framework. For libraries to benefit from linked data, they must learn about it, experiment with it, demonstrate its usefulness, and take a leadership role in its deployment. <br />
<br />
The eXtensible Catalog Organization (XCO) offers open-source software for libraries that is “linked-data-ready.” XC software prepares MARC and Dublin Core metadata for exposure to the semantic web, incorporating FRBR Group 1 entities and registered vocabularies for RDA elements and roles. This presentation will include a software demonstration, proposed software architecture for creation and management of linked data, a vision for how libraries can migrate from MARC to linked data, and an update on XCO progress toward linked data goals.<br />
<br />
== How people search the library from a single search box ==<br />
<br />
* Cory Lown, North Carolina State University Libraries, cory_lown@ncsu.edu<br />
<br />
Searching the library is complex. There's the catalog, article databases, journal title and database title look-ups, the library website, finding aids, knowledge bases, etc. How would users search if they could get to all of these resources from a single search box? I'll share what we've learned about single search at NCSU Libraries by tracking use of QuickSearch (http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/search/index.php?q=aerospace+engineering), our home-grown unified search application. As part of this talk I will suggest low-cost ways to collect real world use data that can be applied to improve search. I will try to convince you that data collection must be carefully planned and designed to be an effective tool to help you understand what your users are telling you through their behavior. I will talk about how the fragmented library resource environment challenges us to provide useful and understandable search environments. Finally, I will share findings from analyzing millions of user transactions about how people search the library from a production single search box at a large university library.<br />

== VuFind 2.0: Why and How? ==<br />
<br />
* Demian Katz, Villanova University, demian.katz@villanova.edu<br />
<br />
A major new version of the VuFind discovery software is currently in development. While VuFind 1.x remains extremely popular, some of its components are beginning to show their age. VuFind 2.0 aims to retain all the strengths of the previous version of the software while making the architecture cleaner, more modern and more standards-based. This presentation will examine the motivation behind the update, preview some of the new features to look forward to, and discuss the challenges of creating a developer-friendly open source package in PHP.<br />
<br />
== Open Source Software Registry ==<br />
<br />
* [[User:DataGazetteer|Peter Murray]], LYRASIS, Peter.Murray@lyrasis.org<br />
<br />
LYRASIS is creating and shepherding a [[Registry_E-R_Diagram|registry of library open source software]] as part of its [http://www.lyrasis.org/News/Press-Releases/2011/LYRASIS-Receives-Grant-to-Support-Open-Source.aspx grant from the Mellon Foundation to support the adoption of open source software by libraries]. <br />
The goal of the grant is to help libraries of all types determine if open source software is right for them, and what combination of software, hosting, training, and consulting works for their situation. <br />
The registry is intended to become a community exchange point and stimulant for growth of the library open source ecosystem by connecting libraries with projects, service providers, and events.<br />
<br />
The first half of this session will demonstrate the registry functions and describe how projects and providers can get involved. <br />
The second half of the session will be a brainstorming suggestion of how to expand the functionality and usefulness of the registry.<br />
<br />
== Property Graphs And TinkerPop Applications in Digital Libraries ==<br />
<br />
* Brian Tingle, California Digital Library, brian.tingle.cdlib.org@gmail.com<br />
<br />
[http://www.tinkerpop.com/ TinkerPop] is an open source software development group focusing on technologies in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_database graph database] space. <br />
This talk will provide a general introduction to the TinkerPop Graph Stack and the [https://github.com/tinkerpop/gremlin/wiki/Defining-a-Property-Graph property graph model] is uses. The introduction will include code examples and explanations of the property graph models used by the [http://socialarchive.iath.virginia.edu/ Social Networks in Archival Context] project and show how the historical social graph is exposed as a JSON/REST API implemented by a TinkerPop [https://github.com/tinkerpop/rexster rexster] [https://github.com/tinkerpop/rexster-kibbles Kibble] that contains the application's graph theory logic. Other graph database applications possible with TinkerPop such as RDF support, and citation analysis will also be discussed.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Security in Mind ==<br />
<br />
* Erin Germ, United States Naval Academy, Nimitz Library, germ@usna.edu<br />
<br />
I would like to talk about security of library software.<br />
<br />
Over the Summer, I discovered a critical vulnerability in a vendor’s software that (verified) allowed me to assume any user’s identity for that site, (verified) switch to any user, and to (unverified, meaning I didn’t not perform this as I didn’t want to “hack” another library’s site) assume the role of any user for any other library who used this particular vendor's software.<br />
<br />
Within a 3 hour period, I discovered a 2 vulnerabilities: 1) minor one allowing me to access any backups from any library site, and 2) a critical vulnerability. From start to finish, the examination, discovery in the vulnerability, and execution of a working exploit was done in less than 2 hours. The vulnerability was a result of poor cookie implementation. The exploit itself revolved around modifying the cookie, and then altering the browser’s permissions by assuming the role of another user.<br />
<br />
I do not intend on stating which vendor it was, but I will show how I was able to perform this. If needed, I can do further research and “investigation” into other vendor's software to see what I can “find”.<br />
<br />
''If selected, I will contact the vendor to inform them that I will present about this at C4L2012. I do not intend on releasing the name of the vendor.''<br />
<br />
== Search Engines and Libraries ==<br />
<br />
* Greg Lindahl, blekko CTO, greg@blekko.com<br />
<br />
[https://blekko.com blekko] is a new web-scale search engine which enables end-users to create vertical search engines, through a feature called [http://help.blekko.com/index.php/category/slashtags/ slashtags]. Slashtags can contain as few as 1 or as many as tens of thousands of websites relevant to a narrow or broad topic. We have an extensive set of slashtags curated by a combination of volunteers and an in-house librarian team, or end-users can create and share their own. This talk will cover examples of slashtag creation relevant to libraries, and show how to embed this search into a library website, either using javascript or via our API.<br />
<br />
''We have exhibited at a couple of library conferences, and have received a lot of interest. blekko is a free service.''<br />
<br />
== Beyond code. Versioning data with Git and Mercurial. ==<br />
<br />
* Stephanie Collett, California Digital Library, stephanie.collett@ucop.edu<br />
* Martin Haye, California Digital Library, martin.haye@ucop.edu<br />
<br />
Within a relatively short time since their introduction, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_Version_Control_System distributed version control systems] (DVCS) like [http://git-scm.com/ Git] and [http://mercurial.selenic.com/ Mercurial] have enjoyed widespread adoption for versioning code. It didn’t take long for the library development community to start discussing the potential for using DVCS within our applications and repositories to version data. After all, many of the features that have made some of these systems popular in the open source community to version code (e.g. lightweight, file-based, compressed, reliable) also make them compelling options for versioning data. And why write an entire versioning system from scratch if a DVCS solution can be a drop-in solution? At the [http://www.cdlib.org/ California Digital Library] (CDL) we’ve started using Git and Mercurial in some of our applications to version data. This has proven effective in some situations and unworkable in others. This presentation will be a practical case study of CDL’s experiences with using DVCS to version data. We will explain how we’re incorporating Git and Mercurial in our applications, describe our successes and failures and consider the issues involved in repurposing these systems for data versioning.<br />
<br />
==Design for Developers==<br />
<br />
*Lisa Kurt, University of Nevada, Reno, lkurt@unr.edu<br />
<br />
Users expect good design. This talk will delve into what makes really great design, what to look for, and how to do it. Learn the principles of great design to take your applications, user interfaces, and projects to a higher level. With years of experience in graphic design and illustration, Lisa will discuss design principles, trends, process, tools, and development. Design examples will be from her own projects as well as a variety from industry. You’ll walk away with design knowledge that you can apply immediately to a variety of applications and a number of top notch go-to resources to get you up and running.<br />
<br />
==Building research applications with Mendeley==<br />
<br />
William Gunn, Mendeley william.gunn@mendeley.com (@mrgunn)<br />
<br />
This is partly a tool talk and partly a big idea one.<br />
<br />
Mendeley has built the world's largest open database of research and we've now begun to collect some interesting social metadata around the document metadata. I would like to share with the Code4Lib attendees information about using this resource to do things within your application that have previously been impossible for the library community, or in some cases impossible without expensive database subscriptions. One thing that's now possible is to augment catalog search by surfacing information about content usage, allowing people to not only find things matching a query, but popular things or things read by their colleagues. In addition to augmenting search, you can also use this information to augment discovery. Imagine an online exhibit of artifacts from a newly discovered dig not just linking to papers which discuss the artifact, but linking to really good interesting papers about the place and the people who made the artifacts. So the big idea is, "How will looking at the literature from a broader perspective than simple citation analysis change how research is done and communicated? How can we build tools that make this process easier and faster?" I can show some examples of applications that have been built using the Mendeley and PLoS APIs to begin to address this question, and I can also present results from Mendeley's developer challenge which shows what kinds of applications researchers are looking for, what kind of applications peope are building, and illustrates some interesting places where the two don't overlap.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==Your UI can make or break the application (to the user, anyway)==<br />
<br />
* Robin Schaaf, University of Notre Dame, schaaf.4@nd.edu<br />
<br />
UI development is hard and too often ends up as an after-thought to computer programmers - if you were a CS major in college I'll bet you didn't have many, if any, design courses. I'll talk about how to involve the users upfront with design and some common pitfalls of this approach. I'll also make a case for why you should do the screen design before a single line of code is written. And I'll throw in some ideas for increasing usability and attractiveness of your web applications. I'd like to make a case study of the UI development of our open source ERMS.<br />
<br />
==Why Nobody Knows How Big The Library Really Is - Perspective of a Library Outside Turned Insider==<br />
<br />
* Patrick Berry, California State University, Chico, pberry@csuchico.edu<br />
<br />
In this talk I would like to bring the perspective of an "outsider" (although an avowed IT insider) to let you know that people don't understand the full scope of the library. As we "rethink education", it is incumbent upon us to help educate our institutions as to the scope of the library. I will present some of the tactics I'm employing to help people outside, and in some cases inside, the library to understand our size and the value we bring to the institution.<br />
<br />
==Building a URL Management Module using the Concrete5 Package Architecture==<br />
<br />
* David Uspal, Villanova University, david.uspal@villanova.edu<br />
<br />
Keeping track of URLs utilized across a large website such as a university library, and keeping that content up to date for subject and course guides, can be a pain, and as an open source shop, we’d like to have open source solution for this issue. For this talk, I intend to detail our solution to this issue by walking step-by-step through the building process for our URL Management module -- including why a new solution was necessary; a quick rundown of our CMS ([http://www.concrete5.org Concrete5], a CMS that isn’t Drupal); utilizing the Concrete5 APIs to isolate our solution from core code (to avoid complications caused by core updates); how our solution was integrated into the CMS architecture for easy installation; and our future plans on the project.<br />
<br />
==Building an NCIP connector to OpenSRF to facilitate resource sharing==<br />
<br />
* Jon Scott, Lyrasis, jon_scott@wsu.edu and Kyle Banerjee, Orbis Cascade Alliance, banerjek@uoregon.edu <br />
<br />
How do you reverse engineer any protocol to provide a new service? Humans (and worse yet, committees) often design verbose protocols built around use cases that don't line up current reality. To compound difficulties, the contents of protocol containers are not sufficiently defined/predictable and the only assistance available is sketchy documentation and kind individuals on the internet willing to share what they learned via trial by fire.<br />
<br />
<br />
NCIP (Niso Circulation Interchange Protocol) is an open standard that defines a set of messages to support exchange of circulation data between disparate circulation, interlibrary loan, and related applications -- widespread adoption of NCIP would eliminate huge amounts of duplicate processing in separate systems. <br />
<br />
<br />
This presentation discusses how we learned enough about NCIP and OpenSRF from scratch to build an NCIP responder for Evergreen to facilitate resource sharing in a large consortium that relies on over 20 different ILSes.<br />
<br />
==Practical Agile: What's Working for Stanford, Blacklight, and Hydra==<br />
<br />
* Naomi Dushay, Stanford University Libraries, ndushay@stanford.edu<br />
<br />
Agile development techniques can be difficult to adopt in the context of library software development. Maybe your shop has only one or two developers, or you always have too many simultaneous projects. Maybe your new projects can’t be started until 27 librarians reach consensus on the specifications.<br />
<br />
This talk will present successful Agile- and Silicon-Valley-inspired practices we’ve adopted at Stanford and/or in the Blacklight and Hydra projects. We’ve targeted developer happiness as well as improved productivity with our recent changes. User stories, dead week, sight lines … it’ll be a grab bag of goodies to bring back to your institution, including some ideas on how to adopt these practices without overt management buy in.<br />
<br />
==Quick and <strike>Dirty</strike> Clean Usability: Rapid Prototyping with Bootstrap==<br />
<br />
* Shaun Ellis, Princeton University Libraries, shaune@princeton.edu <br />
<br />
''"The code itself is unimportant; a project is only as useful as people actually find it." - Linus Torvalds'' [http://bit.ly/p4uuyy]<br />
<br />
Usability has been a buzzword for some time now, but what is the process for making the the transition toward a better user experience, and hence, better designed library sites? I will discuss the one facet of the process my team is using to redesign the Finding Aids site for Princeton University Libraries (still in development). The approach involves the use of rapid prototyping, with Bootstrap [http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/], to make sure we are on track with what users and stakeholders expect up front, and throughout the development process.<br />
<br />
Because Bootstrap allows for early and iterative user feedback, it is more effective than the historic Photoshop mockups/wireframe technique. The Photoshop approach allows stakeholders to test the look, but not the feel -- and often leaves developers scratching their heads. Being a CSS/HTML/Javascript grid-based framework, Bootstrap makes it easy for anyone with a bit of HTML/CSS chops to quickly build slick, interactive prototypes right in the browser -- tangible solutions which can be shared, evaluated, revised, and followed by all stakeholders (see Minimum Viable Products [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_viable_product]). Efficiency is multiplied because the customized prototypes can flow directly into production use, as is the goal with iterative development approaches, such as the Agile methodology.<br />
<br />
While Bootstrap is not the only framework that offers grid-based layout, development is expedited and usability is enhanced by Bootstraps use of of "prefabbed" conventional UI patterns, clean typography, and lean Javascript for interactivity. Furthermore, out-of-the box Bootstrap comes in a fairly neutral palette, so focus remains on usability, and does not devolve into premature discussions of color or branding choices. Finally, using Less can be a powerful tool in conjunction with Bootstrap, but is not necessary. I will discuss the pros and cons, and offer examples for how to getting up and running with or without Less.<br />
<br />
==Search Engine Relevancy Tuning - A Static Rank Framework for Solr/Lucene==<br />
<br />
* Mike Schultz, Amazon.com (formerly Summon Search Architect) mike.schultz@gmail.com<br />
<br />
Solr/Lucene provides a lot of flexibility for adjusting relevancy scoring and improving search results. Roughly speaking there are two areas of concern: Firstly, a 'dynamic rank' calculation that is a function of the user query and document text fields. And secondly, a 'static rank' which is independent of the query and generally is a function of non-text document metadata. In this talk I will outline an easily understood, hand-tunable static rank system with a minimal number of parameters.<br />
<br />
The obvious major feature of a search engine is to return results relevant to a user query. Perhaps less obvious is the huge role query independent document features play in achieving that. Google's PageRank is an example of a static ranking of web pages based on links and other secret sauce. In the Summon service, our 800 million documents have features like publication date, document type, citation count and Boolean features like the-article-is-peer-reviewed. These fields aren't textual and remain 'static' from query to query, but need to influence a document's relevancy score. In our search results, with all query related features being equal, we'd rather have more recent documents above older ones, Journals above Newspapers, and articles that are peer reviewed above those that are not. The static rank system I will describe achieves this and has the following features:<br />
<br />
* Query-time only calculation - nothing is baked into the index - with parameters adjustable at query time.<br />
* The system is based on a signal metaphor where components are 'wired' together. System components allow multiplexing, amplifying, summing, tunable band-pass filtering, string-to-value-mapping all with a bare minimum of parameters.<br />
* An intuitive approach for mixing dynamic and static rank that is more effective than simple adding or multiplying.<br />
* A way of equating disparate static metadata types that leads to understandable results ordering.<br />
<br />
==Submitting Digitized Book-like things to the Internet Archive==<br />

Maybe you've never given a talk before, and you'd like to start small. For a Lightning Talk, you don't need to make slides, and if you do decide to make slides, you only need to make three.<br />
<br />
Maybe you're nervous and you're afraid you'll mess up. It's a lot easier to plan and deliver a five minute talk than it is to deliver a long talk. And if you do mess up, at least the painful part will be over quickly.<br />
<br />
Maybe you don't have much to say. Maybe you just want to ask a question, or invite people to help you with your project, or boast about something you did, or tell a short cautionary story. These things are all interesting and worth talking about, but there might not be enough to say about them to fill up thirty minutes.<br />
