2014 preconference proposals

2014-01-17T18:31:11Z

JohnRees: /* Archival discovery and use */

= PROPOSALS ARE CLOSED : PLEASE DO NOT ADD NEW PRECONFERENCES TO THIS PAGE =

Proposals were accepted through December 6th, 2013.

It would be really, super duper helpful if folks who think they might want to attend a pre-conference could indicate interest by adding your name to a session below.

===Note===
Attendance at a pre-conference will require a small fee ''due at the time of conference registration".

Although this was specified in the email announcements relating to pre-conferences, it was not added to this page until December 2nd. I (Adam C.) apologize for the omission and I hope this will not cause any "sticker shock." Putting your name on this list does not incur any obligation on your part, but we'll be using it to gauge interest and work out room assignments.

Please put your pre-conference on the list in the following format:

=Code4Lib 2014 Pre-Conference Proposals=

===Responsive Design Hackfest===
'''"Half-Day [Afternoon]"'''
* Contact Jim Hahn, University of Illinois, jimfhahn@gmail.com
* Contact David Ward, University of Illinois, dh-ward@illinois.edu

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].

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.

===Fail4Lib 2014===
'''Half Day [TBD, probably afternoon]'''

Contacts:
* Andreas Orphanides, akorphan (at) ncsu.edu
* Jason Casden, jmcasden (at) ncsu.edu

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.

The schedule may include the following:

* Case studies. We'll look at some classic failures from the literature: What can we learn from the mistakes of others?
* 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?
* 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?

* Corey Harper, corey (dot) harper (at) nyu.edu
* Robert Sanderson, azaroth42 (at) gmail.com
* Robert Warren, rwarren (at) math.carleton.ca

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.

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.

Do you have digitized maps, GIS datasets like Shapefiles, aerial photography,
etc., all of which you want to integrate into your digital repository? In this
workshop, we will discuss how Hydra can provide discovery, delivery, and
management services for geospatial assets, as well as solicit questions about
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:

* What are the types of geospatial data?
* How to dive into Hydra?
* How to model geospatial holdings with Hydra?
* How to discover and view geospatial data?
* How to build a geospatial data infrastructure?
* What are common approaches and problems?

===Technology, Librarianship, and Gender: Moving the conversation forward===
'''Full Day'''

Contact: Lisa Rabey lisa @ biblyotheke dot net | [http://twitter.com/pnkrcklibrarian @pnkrcklibrarian]

'''Description'''

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?

Lots of tough questions.

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.

Topics to include: Fairness, bias, impostor syndrome, code of conducts, sexual harassment, training opportunities, support systems, mentoring, ally support, and more

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

===FileAnalyzer: Rapid Development of File Manipulation Tasks===
'''"Half-Day" [morning]'''
* Contact Terry Brady, twb27@georgetown.edu

The FileAnalyzer (http://georgetown-university-libraries.github.io/File-Analyzer/) is an application designed to solve a number of library automation challenges:

* validating digitized and reformatted files
* validating vendor statistics for counter compliance
* preparing collections of digital files for archiving and ingest
* manipulating ILS import and export files

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.

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.

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.

''Session Overview''
* Overview of the application
* Running sample file tests/transformations through the application
* Compiling and building the application
* Coding a custom file processing task

===Obey the Testing Goat!: Test Driven Web Development From The Ground Up===
'''Half-Day [tbd - probably afternoon]'''

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.

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.

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.

===Summon Hackfest and ProQuest Discovery & Management Technologies Users Group ===

Presenter: Eddie Newwirth and presenters from Summon libraries
Contact: Scott Schuetze (first DOT last @ serialssolutions. com)

The morning hackfest (10:30am-12pm) will be a great opportunity for libraries using the Summon service to share their creative customizations and code and exchange ideas about ways they can leverage the Summon API to better meet the needs of their users.

The ProQuest Discovery & Management Technologies User Group (1pm-4pm) will feature updates from product managers, presentations by several libraries sharing different aspects of their experiences with ProQuest discovery and management services, and an interactive session designed to let you share your stories and discuss ideas.

The Summon Hackfest and User Group are open to all libraries currently using ProQuest discovery and management services (Intota, Summon, Ulrich’s or the 360 suite of services), whether they are attending Code4Lib or are just in the area.
