Modeling Concepts as Linked Data RDF, '''''Steven Anderson &amp;amp; Eben English''''', ''Boston Public Library''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;How does your library exist in the Linked Data world? Is it a foaf:Organization, a schema:Organization, org:Organization, etc? Once you've decided that, what properties does your library have? For example, is it called by an rdfs:label, or skos:prefLabel, or dcterms:title, or something else entirely? These questions don't have a single correct answer, and therein lies the challenge of modeling data in RDF. Whether it's descriptive metadata, digital object relationships, or places, people, and things, you need to understand the options for mapping data and the pros and cons each mapping brings. This workshop will not be a presentation, but a collaboration: we are relying on attendees to provide concepts they've struggled to map in the Linked Data world. We would then go through the process of discussing as a group how to map those concepts and see if we can come to agreement as to the best approach(es).&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

* '''[https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=z2JOTakXueSk.kSv_bxAdo3Xc&amp;amp;usp=sharing Lunch and parking map]'''&lt;br /&gt;
* Food options are mostly clustered in three places: Greektown (N of the freeway along Halsted), Taylor street (SW of campus), and University Village (S along Halsted).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Getting to UIC==&lt;br /&gt;
* Public Transit: Take the Blue Line west from the Loop; get off at the UIC-Halsted stop.  Walk south.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''[https://www.uic.edu/about/visit-directions More information on visiting UIC]''', including (better) mass-transit directions&lt;br /&gt;
* Parking in a UIC lot will cost $13 for a full day.&lt;br /&gt;
* If you're driving, there are several parking lots available (marked on the above map); I recommend the one south of campus (1135 Morgan).   Note that no streets connect Harrison with Taylor, including Morgan, between Racine and Halsted; to reach the south lot, come up Morgan from Roosevelt.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Circle Interchange difficulties'''&lt;br /&gt;
** Circle Interchange (the confluence of I-90 and I-290 just NE of campus) construction is ongoing.&lt;br /&gt;
** Construction is causing traffic havoc nearby, especially near the corner of Harrison and Halsted.  The Harrison bridge over I-90 doesn't currently exist.  Best to avoid this area if possible.&lt;br /&gt;
** The Morgan street exit from I-290 has been closed for some time.  [http://www.circleinterchange.org/under_construction/morgan_street.aspx According to IDOT]:&lt;br /&gt;
*** Exiting access is prohibited from Westbound I-290/Congress Parkway&lt;br /&gt;
*** From Southbound I-90/94 - exit Adams Street&lt;br /&gt;
*** From Northbound I-90/94 - exit Ashland Avenue, backtrack east via Jackson Boulevard or Harrison Street&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Please join us Friday, May 29, at Boston, MA for the NECode4Lib 2015 conference. This informal conference will feature short lightning talks, longer presentations, and breakout discussion sessions covering technology in libraries, archives and museums in the New England.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Location===&lt;br /&gt;
NECode4Lib meeting will be hosted by MIT.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''When''' - Friday, May 29th&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Where''' - MIT, [https://whereis.mit.edu/?go=34 Building 34], room 401A (Grier Room A).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Registration Cost''' - Free!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Registration Link'''&lt;br /&gt;
The event is sold out (70 registered attendees which is the max our room can accommodate).&lt;br /&gt;
You can join the waitlist via Eventbrite. We will release tickets as soon as anyone cancels. -- http://necode4lib2015.eventbrite.com&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Planning Committee''' - Matt Bernhardt (matt.j.bernhardt@gmail.com), Jeremy Prevost (jprevost@mit.edu), Joe Montibello (joseph.montibello@dartmouth.edu), Matt Sherman (matt.r.sherman@gmail.com), Abigail Baines (abaines@hampshire.edu), Jennifer Eustis (Jennifer.Eustis@lib.uconn.edu), Sharon Clapp (sclapp@ccsu.edu), Andromeda Yelton (andromeda.yelton@gmail.com), David Mayo (pobocks@gmail.com), Maura Carbone (mauraa@brandeis.edu), Christina Harlow (cmh2166@columbia.edu)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Logistics===&lt;br /&gt;
====Transportation====&lt;br /&gt;
* MIT can be reached by car, train, or bus. &lt;br /&gt;
* If you are going to drive all the way to campus, MIT's parking information can be found here: http://web.mit.edu/facilities/transportation/parking/visitors/public_parking.html&lt;br /&gt;
* Another popular option is to take the MBTA red line to campus, and get off at the Kendall/MIT stop. From the station, walk down Main Street (passing the Kendall Hotel on your left, walking away from Chipotle). Turn left on Vassar Street / Galileo Way, and walk past the Stata Center until you get to building 34. The Grier Room is on the fourth floor. For walking directions via Google Maps, visit https://goo.gl/maps/eXp07. On the map link above, the Kendall/MIT stop is just outside building E38. Parking is also available at the terminal stations on the red line - the easiest to reach if you are coming from outside Boston is probably Alewife in Arlington.&lt;br /&gt;
* If you're arriving via bus, there are a number of lines that run by campus. Consult the MBTA website (or Google Maps) for more information.&lt;br /&gt;
* We are also looking into helping arrange carpooling. More information to come.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Hotels====&lt;br /&gt;
* If you're looking for a hotel room the night before / after, there are two hotels near campus - the [http://www.kendallhotel.com/ Kendall Hotel] and [http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/boscb-boston-marriott-cambridge/ Marriott Hotel], both on Main Street. There is no block of rooms, however, so please make whatever arrangements make sense for you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

NECode4Lib is dedicated to a harassment-free conference experience for everyone. We are using the Code4Lib 2015 Conference Code of Conduct that can be found at: http://code4lib.org/content/2015-code-conduct&lt;br /&gt;

* Another popular option is to take the MBTA red line to campus, and get off at the Kendall/MIT stop. From there, it is a relatively short walk to building 34. On the map link above, the Kendall/MIT stop is just outside building E38. Parking is also available at the terminal stations on the red line - the easiest to reach if you are coming from outside Boston is probably Alewife in Arlington.&lt;br /&gt;
* If you're arriving via bus, there are a number of lines that run by campus. Consult the MBTA website (or Google Maps) for more information.&lt;br /&gt;
* We are also looking into helping arrange carpooling. More information to come.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Hotels====&lt;br /&gt;
* If you're looking for a hotel room the night before / after, there are two hotels near campus - the [http://www.kendallhotel.com/ Kendall Hotel] and [http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/boscb-boston-marriott-cambridge/ Marriott Hotel], both on Main Street. There is no block of rooms, however, so please make whatever arrangements make sense for you.&lt;br /&gt;

* MIT can be reached by car, train, or bus. &lt;br /&gt;
* If you are going to drive all the way to campus, MIT's parking information can be found here: http://web.mit.edu/facilities/transportation/parking/visitors/public_parking.html&lt;br /&gt;
* Another popular option is to take the MBTA red line to campus, and get off at the Kendall/MIT stop. From there, it is a relatively short walk to building 34. On the map link above, the Kendall/MIT stop is just outside building E38. Parking is also available at the terminal stations on the red line - the easiest to reach if you are coming from outside Boston is probably Alewife in Arlington.&lt;br /&gt;
* If you're arriving via bus, there are a number of lines that run by campus. Consult the MBTA website (or Google Maps) for more information.&lt;br /&gt;
* We are also looking into helping arrange carpooling. More information to come.&lt;br /&gt;

== Upcoming conference ==&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks to everyone who filled out the survey about planning a NEC4L in 2015. It looks like April 2015 is the preferred month with the option of also having it in March. Also over half who responded would like to have the NEC4L in the Boston area with Western Mass coming in a far second. Those who indicated that they could sponsor will be contacted soon after the holidays. Once we have some information, we'll post it here. So stay tuned!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Update:''' A tentative date of Friday May 29, 2015 on the MIT campus in Cambridge, MA has been discussed. More details will be provided in February.&lt;br /&gt;

==Programming Sign-up==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Code4Lib Midwest programming depends on the folks attending the conference. Please consider giving a presentation or lightning talk, or submitting your ideas for the hackfest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Share what you are working on! Add your name and a description below. Please also let us know how long you'll need, and whether you prefer Wednesday or Thursday (or if it doesn't matter)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Presentations or Workshops===&lt;br /&gt;
Have something cool to share? Tell us about it. If you want someone to teach something to you, put that here as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Eric Echeverri and Steve Lonn on the digital open badges initiative that is taken place at the University of Michigan, specifically Digital Badges for libraries. Steve Lonn will be joining us via Gtalk for an in depth understanding of this technology. Eric will go over the technical details of exporting badges into the Mozilla backpack for learners. This application is done in ruby and is up and running at [https://mblem.umich.edu https://mblem.umich.edu]&lt;br /&gt;
* Development tips from the front-lines: Tips and techniques useful for software development in Libraries. Jon Gorman, University of Illinois (at Urbana-Champaign). Last year's Code4Lib Midwest there was a great amount of interest in improving development skills. Jon doesn't claim to be the best developer, but he's will to share what intimidated him unnecessarily and useful tips &amp;amp; tricks for both improving skills and overview of techniques that make life easier. (Bootstrap, jQuery, Rule engines, templates, Good books to read, etc). (Note: I'm willing to bump this down to a very quick lightning talk if people aren't interested, I just thought the schedule looked like it needed some fleshing out).&lt;br /&gt;
* Can you do FOSS at your library if you're a small, one-person shop? How do you figure it out? Megan Kudzia, Albion College Library. I've made plenty of mistakes along the way, and I thought maybe others might find what I've figured out useful. As a community that values free/open source, it can be really difficult to assess if you're starting out in your career and you're pretty much &amp;quot;the technology person&amp;quot; at your library (I suspect there are a lot of us in this boat). In addition to mistakes, I've had some successes too, which I'll also share about - it's not all bad news! (Note: like Joh, I'm willing to bump this down to a lightning talk if folks aren't really interested).&lt;br /&gt;
* CANCELLED (sorry) Deploy Code with Confidence (with lots of tests and application monitoring). Jeremy Prevost, Northwestern University&lt;br /&gt;
* Chicago Collections Consortium (CCC), XTF admin tool development --  The CCC is creating a unified portal to access archival collections relating to Chicago at a variety of institutions. The consortium has chosen XTF to search and index the metadata.  Our first order of business is to create an admin tool that can ingest any metadata from home institutions and create standardized metadata to allow discovery of related material across institutions.  Development of the tool began in May.  I'll give an overview of what we're doing from a technical stand point and update about where we are and what our difficulties have been.  Esther Verreau, UIC&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Lightning Talks===&lt;br /&gt;
Have something cool to share but you don't want to be in front of the room for more than 5 minutes? Lightning talks are for you. Sign up now or at the conference:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Alison Hitchens - java program to create good e-theses MARC records from DSpace (UWSpace)&lt;br /&gt;
* Brian Zelip - A Twofer: Migrating [http://minrvaproject.org a library web app's website] to an xml-based CMS &amp;amp; Use cases at [http://library.illinois.edu/sc an academic research services unit].&lt;br /&gt;
* Cole Hudson - Visualizing our book shelves: how we took Harvard's Stack View and made it our own&lt;br /&gt;
* Britain Woodman - how we evaluated and eventually made [http://github.com/cazzerson/suma Suma] part of our daily operations work&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hackfest===&lt;br /&gt;

* Can you do FOSS at your library if you're a small, one-person shop? How do you figure it out? Megan Kudzia, Albion College Library. I've made plenty of mistakes along the way, and I thought maybe others might find what I've figured out useful. As a community that values free/open source, it can be really difficult to assess if you're starting out in your career and you're pretty much &amp;quot;the technology person&amp;quot; at your library (I suspect there are a lot of us in this boat). In addition to mistakes, I've had some successes too, which I'll also share about - it's not all bad news! (Note: like Joh, I'm willing to bump this down to a lightning talk if folks aren't really interested).&lt;br /&gt;
* CANCELLED (sorry) Deploy Code with Confidence (with lots of tests and application monitoring). Jeremy Prevost, Northwestern University&lt;br /&gt;
* Chicago Collections Consortium (CCC), XTF admin tool development --  The CCC is creating a unified portal to access archival collections relating to Chicago at a variety of institutions. The consortium has chosen XTF to search and index the metadata.  Our first order of business is to create an admin tool that can ingest any metadata from home institutions and create standardized metadata to allow discovery of related material across institutions.  Development of the tool began in May.  I'll give an overview of what we're doing from a technical stand point and update about where we are and what our difficulties have been.  Esther Verreau, UIC&lt;br /&gt;

==Programming Sign-up==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Code4Lib Midwest programming depends on the folks attending the conference. Please consider giving a presentation or lightning talk, or submitting your ideas for the hackfest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Share what you are working on! Add your name and a description below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Presentations or Workshops===&lt;br /&gt;
Have something cool to share? Tell us about it. If you want someone to teach something to you, put that here as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Eric Echeverri and Steve Lonn on the digital open badges initiative that is taken place at the University of Michigan, specifically Digital Badges for libraries. Steve Lonn will be joining us via Gtalk for an in depth understanding of this technology. Eric will go over the technical details of exporting badges into the Mozilla backpack for learners. This application is done in ruby and is up and running at [https://mblem.umich.edu https://mblem.umich.edu]&lt;br /&gt;
* Development tips from the front-lines: Tips and techniques useful for software development in Libraries. Jon Gorman, University of Illinois (at Urbana-Champaign). Last year's Code4Lib Midwest there was a great amount of interest in improving development skills. Jon doesn't claim to be the best developer, but he's will to share what intimidated him unnecessarily and useful tips &amp;amp; tricks for both improving skills and overview of techniques that make life easier. (Bootstrap, jQuery, Rule engines, templates, Good books to read, etc). (Note: I'm willing to bump this down to a very quick lightning talk if people aren't interested, I just thought the schedule looked like it needed some fleshing out).&lt;br /&gt;
* Can you do FOSS at your library if you're a small, one-person shop? How do you figure it out? Megan Kudzia, Albion College Library. I've made plenty of mistakes along the way, and I thought maybe others might find what I've figured out useful. As a community that values free/open source, it can be really difficult to assess if you're starting out in your career and you're pretty much &amp;quot;the technology person&amp;quot; at your library (I suspect there are a lot of us in this boat). In addition to mistakes, I've had some successes too, which I'll also share about - it's not all bad news! (Note: like Joh, I'm willing to bump this down to a lightning talk if folks aren't really interested).&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Deploy Code with Confidence (with lots of tests and application monitoring)'''.&lt;br /&gt;
** Deploying code into production can be nerve wracking. Or, it can be a non-issue. I'll talk about our current test environment, which allows us to feel reasonably confident our code does what we intend. I'll also discuss our application monitoring, which informs us when even our huge test suite missed a scenario. We often see bugs in our monitor, write tests to demonstrate the bug, fix the bug, and deploy code before a user ever reports a problem.&lt;br /&gt;
** Jeremy Prevost, Northwestern University&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Lightning Talks===&lt;br /&gt;
Have something cool to share but you don't want to be in front of the room for more than 5 minutes? Lightning talks are for you. Sign up now or at the conference:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Alison Hitchens - java program to create good e-theses MARC records from DSpace (UWSpace)&lt;br /&gt;
* Brian Zelip - A Twofer: Migrating [http://minrvaproject.org a library web app's website] to an xml-based CMS &amp;amp; Use cases at [http://library.illinois.edu/sc an academic research services unit].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Contact [[User:highermath|Cary Gordon]], cgordon@chillco.com or &lt;br /&gt;
* [[User:cdmo|Charlie Morris]], NCSU Libraries, cdmorris@ncsu.edu&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This event is open to the library community. There is a nominal fee ($10) for non-Code4LibCon attendees.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Local Drupal uber-ninja Larry Garfield will stop by to answer questions and give us some guidance.&lt;br /&gt;

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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If there's interest, we could start with a &amp;quot;welcome to code4lib&amp;quot; introductory session for newcomers.&lt;br /&gt;

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.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Possible topics/activities include:&lt;br /&gt;
* group discussion of what some libraries have done in this area&lt;br /&gt;
* comparisons of different approaches to addressing delivery &lt;br /&gt;
* overview of tools available &lt;br /&gt;
* sharing of strategies and experiences&lt;br /&gt;
* 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]. &lt;br /&gt;

===Intro to NoSQL Databases===&lt;br /&gt;
* Joshua Gomez, George Washington University, jngomez at gwu edu&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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 &amp;quot;Big Data&amp;quot; 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, CouchDB, and Neo4j.&lt;br /&gt;

==Half Day Afternoon==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Data Visualization Hackfest ===&lt;br /&gt;
* Chris Beer, cabeer at stanford.edu&lt;br /&gt;
* Dan Chudnov, dchud at gwu edu&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* 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 &amp;quot;Where Librarians Go To Hack&amp;quot;] 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: &lt;br /&gt;
 - we'll (you'll!) do lightning tutorials for some data visualization tools, toolkits (R? d3js? ?), datasets.&lt;br /&gt;
 - we'll separate into groups and hack on stuff.&lt;br /&gt;
 - at the end of the day, we'll present our progress.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not a code hacker?  No worries; all skill sets and backgrounds are valuable! &lt;br /&gt;

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. &lt;br /&gt;

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&amp;amp;A around local issues people might encounter. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
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 (&amp;quot;The Pivot&amp;quot;), and failing more cheaply.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Given willing presenters, a series of 10-20 minute presentations that go into some depth about specific failures.&lt;br /&gt;
# 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:&lt;br /&gt;
#* Technical failure&lt;br /&gt;
#* Failure to effectively address a real user need&lt;br /&gt;
#* Overinvestment&lt;br /&gt;
#* Outreach/Promotion failure&lt;br /&gt;
#* Design/UX failure&lt;br /&gt;
#* Project team communication failure&lt;br /&gt;
#* Missed opportunities (risk-averse failure)&lt;br /&gt;
#* Successes gleaned from failures&lt;br /&gt;
# A panel of participants who have prepared in advance to answer moderator and audience questions about their experience with failure.&lt;br /&gt;
# 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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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.&lt;br /&gt;

* Contact: Erik Hatcher (erik.hatcher at lucidworks.com)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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?&lt;br /&gt;

* [[User:cdmo|Charlie Morris]], NCSU Libraries, cdmorris@ncsu.edu&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Local Drupal uber-ninja Larry Garfield will stop by to answer questions and give us some guidance.&lt;br /&gt;

==Half Day Morning==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Open space session ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Dan Chudnov, dchud at gwu edu&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If there's interest, we could start with a &amp;quot;welcome to code4lib&amp;quot; introductory session for newcomers.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Delivery services ===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ted Lawless, Brown University Library, tlawless at brown edu.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Possible topics/activities include:&lt;br /&gt;
* panel discussion of what some libraries have done in this area&lt;br /&gt;
* comparisons of different approaches to addressing delivery &lt;br /&gt;
* overview of tools available &lt;br /&gt;
* sharing of strategies and experiences&lt;br /&gt;
* 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/py360link Py360 Link]. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
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, University of Virginia, 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&amp;amp;A around local issues people might encounter. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note: this workshop can be a standalone intro, or attendees can follow up with the intro to hydra workshop in the afternoon.&lt;br /&gt;

* Anyone else want to come and help folks? Contact Jason.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
RailsBridge comes to code4lib! We'll follow the RailsBridge curriculum (http://railsbridge.org) to provide a gentle introduction to Ruby on Rails. Topics covered include an introduction to the Ruby language, the Rails framework, and version control with git. Participants will build a working Rails application. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There will be some pre-preconference preparation needed so that we can effectively use our time. Details to come.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Note: Attendees can follow up with the Intro to Blacklight afternoon session, which will be tailored for folks new to Ruby&lt;br /&gt;

===Intro to NoSQL Databases===&lt;br /&gt;
* Joshua Gomez, George Washington University, jngomez at gwu edu&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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 &amp;quot;Big Data&amp;quot; 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, CouchDB, and Neo4j.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Data Visualization Hackfest ===&lt;br /&gt;
* Chris Beer, cabeer at stanford.edu&lt;br /&gt;
* Dan Chudnov, dchud at gwu edu&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* 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 &amp;quot;Where Librarians Go To Hack&amp;quot;] 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: &lt;br /&gt;
 - we'll (you'll!) do lightning tutorials for some data visualization tools, toolkits (R? d3js? ?), datasets.&lt;br /&gt;
 - we'll separate into groups and hack on stuff.&lt;br /&gt;
 - at the end of the day, we'll present our progress.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not a code hacker?  No worries; all skill sets and backgrounds are valuable! &lt;br /&gt;

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.

In this workshop we will cover the basics of solr indexing and searching, setting up and customizing Blacklight, and leave time for Q&amp;amp;A around local issues people might encounter. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
This is a stub proposal entered solely to beat the submission deadline. I think there's be sufficient interest in this session, but only thought of it yesterday and haven't had time to coordinate with actual DPLA'ers and confirm that any of them are definitely coming.&lt;br /&gt;

* Jason Casden, NCSU Libraries (jmcasden at ncsu.edu)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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 (&amp;quot;The Pivot&amp;quot;), and failing more cheaply.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Given willing presenters, a series of 10-20 minute presentations that go into some depth about specific failures.&lt;br /&gt;
# 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:&lt;br /&gt;
#* Technical failure&lt;br /&gt;
#* Failure to effectively address a real user need&lt;br /&gt;
#* Overinvestment&lt;br /&gt;
#* Outreach/Promotion failure&lt;br /&gt;
#* Design/UX failure&lt;br /&gt;
#* Project team communication failure&lt;br /&gt;
#* Missed opportunities (risk-averse failure)&lt;br /&gt;
#* Successes gleaned from failures&lt;br /&gt;
# A panel of participants who have prepared in advance to answer moderator and audience questions about their experience with failure.&lt;br /&gt;
# 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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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.&lt;br /&gt;

* [[User:cdmo|Charlie Morris]], NCSU Libraries, cdmorris@ncsu.edu&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Local Drupal uber-ninja Larry Garfield will stop by to answer questions and give us some guidance.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If there's interest, we could start with a &amp;quot;welcome to code4lib&amp;quot; introductory session for newcomers.&lt;br /&gt;

* Ted Lawless, Brown University Library, tlawless at brown edu.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Possible topics/activities include:&lt;br /&gt;
* panel discussion of what some libraries have done in this area&lt;br /&gt;
* comparisons of different approaches to addressing delivery &lt;br /&gt;
* overview of tools available &lt;br /&gt;
* sharing of strategies and experiences&lt;br /&gt;
* 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/py360link Py360 Link]. &lt;br /&gt;

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, University of Virginia, 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&amp;amp;A around local issues people might encounter. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note: this workshop can be a standalone intro, or attendees can follow up with the intro to hydra workshop in the afternoon.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
RailsBridge comes to code4lib! We'll follow the RailsBridge curriculum (http://railsbridge.org) to provide a gentle introduction to Ruby on Rails. Topics covered include an introduction to the Ruby language, the Rails framework, and version control with git. Participants will build a working Rails application. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There will be some pre-preconference preparation needed so that we can effectively use our time. Details to come.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Note: Attendees can follow up with the Intro to Blacklight afternoon session, which will be tailored for folks new to Ruby&lt;br /&gt;

===Intro to NoSQL Databases===&lt;br /&gt;
* Joshua Gomez, George Washington University, jngomez at gwu edu&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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 &amp;quot;Big Data&amp;quot; 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, CouchDB, and Neo4j.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Data Visualization Hackfest ===&lt;br /&gt;
* Chris Beer, cabeer at stanford.edu&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* 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 &amp;quot;Where Librarians Go To Hack&amp;quot;] 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: &lt;br /&gt;
 - we'll (you'll!) do lightning tutorials for some data visualization tools, toolkits (R? d3js? ?), datasets.&lt;br /&gt;
 - we'll separate into groups and hack on stuff.&lt;br /&gt;
 - at the end of the day, we'll present our progress.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not a code hacker?  No worries; all skill sets and backgrounds are valuable! &lt;br /&gt;

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. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Deadline for talk submission is ''Friday, November 2'' at 5pm PT.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prepared talks are 20 minutes (including setup and questions), and focus on one or more of the following areas:&lt;br /&gt;
* tools (some cool new software, software library or integration platform)&lt;br /&gt;
* specs (how to get the most out of some protocols, or proposals for new ones)&lt;br /&gt;
* challenges (one or more big problems we should collectively address)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The community will vote on proposals using the criteria of:&lt;br /&gt;
* usefulness&lt;br /&gt;
* newness&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Demian Katz, Villanova University, demian DOT katz AT villanova DOT edu&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When setting goals for a new major release of VuFind, use of an existing web framework was an important decision to encourage standardization and avoid reinvention of the wheel.  Zend Framework 2 was selected as providing the best balance between the cutting-edge (ZF2 was released in 2012) and stability (ZF1 has a long history and many adopters).  This talk will examine some of the architecture and features of the new framework and discuss how it has been used to improve the VuFind project.&lt;br /&gt;

 &lt;br /&gt;
* [[User:DataGazetteer|Peter Murray]], LYRASIS, Peter.Murray@lyrasis.org&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Public WiFi networks, even those that have passwords, are nothing more that an old-time [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Party_line_(telephony) party line]: what every you say can be easily heard by anyone nearby.  &lt;br /&gt;
Remember [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firesheep Firesheep]?  &lt;br /&gt;
It was an extension to Firefox that demonstrated how easy it was to snag session cookies and impersonate someone else.&lt;br /&gt;
So what are you sending out over the airwaves, and what techniques are available to prevent eavesdropping?&lt;br /&gt;
This talk will demonstrate tools and techniques for desktop and mobile operating systems that you should be using right now -- right here at Code4Lib -- to protect your data and your network activity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Drupal 8 Preview — Symfony and Twig ==&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
* [[User:Highermath|Cary Gordon]], The Cherry Hill Company, cgordon@chillco.com&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Drupal is a great platform for building web applications. Last year, the core developers decided to adopt the Symfony PHP framework, because it would lay the groundwork for the modernization (and de-PHP4ification) of the Drupal codebase. As I write this, the Symfony ClassLoader and HttpFoundation libraries are committed to Drupal core, with more elements likely before Drupal 8 code freeze.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It seems almost certain that the Twig templating engine will supplant PHPtemplate as the core Drupal template engine. Twig is a powerful, secure theme building tool that removes PHP from the templating system, the result being a very concise and powerful theme layer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Symfony and Twig have a common creator, Fabien Potencier, who's overall goal is to rid the world of the excesses of PHP 4.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Neat! But How Do We Do It? - The Real-world Problem of Digitizing Complex Corporate Digital Objects ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Matthew Mariner, University of Colorado Denver, Auraria Library, matthew.mariner@ucdenver.edu&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Isn't it neat when you discover that you are the steward of dozens of Sanborn Fire Instance Maps, hundreds of issues of a city directory, and thousands of photographs of persons in either aforementioned medium? And it's even cooler when you decide, &amp;quot;Let's digitize these together and make them one big awesome project to support public urban history&amp;quot;?  Unfortunately it's a far more difficult process than one imagines at inception and, sadly, doesn't always come to fruition.  My goal here is to discuss the technological (and philosophical) problems librarians and archivists face when trying to create ultra-rich complex corporate digital projects, or, rather, projects consisting of at least three facets interrelated by theme.  I intend to address these problems by suggesting management solutions, web workarounds, and, perhaps, a philosophy that might help in determining whether to even move forward or not.  Expect a few case studies of &amp;quot;grand ideas crushed by technological limitations&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;projects on the right track&amp;quot; to follow.   &lt;br /&gt;

The free ResCarta Toolkit has been used by libraries and archives around the world to host city directories, newspapers, and historic photographs and by aerospace companies to search and find millions of engineering documents.  Now the ResCarta team has released audio additions to the toolkit. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Create full text searchable oral histories, news stories, interviews. or build an archive of lectures; all done to Library of Congress standards.  The included transcription editor allows for accurate correction of the data conversion tool’s output.  Build true archives of text, photos and audio.  A single audio file carries the embedded Axml metadata, transcription, and word location information. Checks with the FADGI BWF Metaedit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ResCarta-Web presents your audio to IE, Chome, Firefox, Safari, and Opera browsers with full playback and word search capability. Display format is OGG!! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You have to see this tool in action.  Twenty minutes from an audio file to transcribed, text-searchable website.  Be there or be L seven (Yeah, I’m that old)   &lt;br /&gt;

== Format Designation in MARC Records: A Trip Down the Rabbit-Hole ==&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
* Michael Doran, University of Texas at Arlington, doran@uta.edu&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This presentation will use a seemingly simple data point, the &amp;quot;format&amp;quot; of the item being described, to illustrate some of the complexities and challenges inherent in the parsing of MARC records.  I will talk about abstract vs. concrete forms; format designation in the Leader, 006, 007, and 008 fixed fields as well as the 245 and 300 variable fields; pseudo-formats; what is mandatory vs. optional in respect to format designation in cataloging practice; and the differences between cataloging theory and practice as observed via format-related data mining of a mid-size academic library collection. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I understand that most of us go to code4lib to hear about the latest sexy technologies.  While MARC isn't sexy, many of the new tools being discussed still need to be populated with data gleaned from MARC records.  MARC format designation has ramifications for search and retrieval, limits, and facets, both in the ILS and further downstream in next generation OPACs and web-scale discovery tools.  Even veteran library coders will learn something from this session. &lt;br /&gt;

== Touch Kiosk 2: Piezoelectric Boogaloo ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Andreas Orphanides, North Carolina State University Libraries, akorphan@ncsu.edu&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the NCSU Libraries, we provide realtime access to information on library spaces and services through an interactive touchscreen kiosk in our Learning Commons. In the summer of 2012, two years after its initial deployment, I redeveloped the kiosk application from the ground up, with an entirely new codebase and a completely redesigned user interface. The changes I implemented were designed to remedy previously identified shortcomings in the code and the interface design [1], and to enhance overall stability and performance of the application.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In this presentation I will outline my revision process, highlighting the lessons I learned and the practices I implemented in the course of redevelopment. I will highlight the key features of the HTML/Javascript codebase that allow for increased stability, flexibility, and ease of maintenance; and identify the changes to the user interface that resulted from the usability findings I uncovered in my previous research. Finally, I will compare the usage patterns of the new interface to the analysis of the previous implementation to examine the practical effect of the implemented changes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I will also provide access to a genericized version of the interface code for others to build their own implementations of similar kiosk applications.&lt;br /&gt;

== Wayfinding in a Cloud: Location Service for libraries ==&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
* Petteri Kivimäki, The National Library of Finland, petteri.kivimaki@helsinki.fi&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Searching for books in large libraries can be a difficult task for a novice library user. This paper presents The Location Service, software as a service (SaaS) wayfinding application developed and managed by The National Library of Finland, which is targeted for all the libraries. The service provides additional information and map-based guidance to books and collections by showing their location on a map, and it can be integrated with any library management system, as the integration happens by adding a link to the service in the search interface. The service is being developed continuously based on the feedback received from the users.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The service has two user interfaces: One for the customers and one for the library staff for managing the information related to the locations. The UI for the customers is fully customizable by the libraries, and the customization is done via template files by using the following techniques: HTML, CSS, and Javascript/jQuery. The service supports multiple languages, and the libraries have a full control of the languages, which they want to support in their environment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The service is written in Java and it uses Spring and Hibernate frameworks. The data is stored in PostgreSQL database, which is shared by all the libraries. They do not possess a direct access to the database, but the service offers an interface, which makes it possible to retrieve XML data over HTTP. Modification of the data via admin UI, however, is restricted, and access on the other libraries’ data is blocked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Empowering Collection Owners with Automated Bulk Ingest Tools for DSpace ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Terry Brady, Georgetown University, twb27@georgetown.edu&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Georgetown University Library has developed a number of applications to expedite the process of ingesting content into DSpace.&lt;br /&gt;
* Automatically inventory a collection of documents or images to be uploaded&lt;br /&gt;
* Generate a spreadsheet for metadata capture based on the inventory&lt;br /&gt;
* Generate item-level ingest folders, contents files and dublin core metadata for the items to be ingested&lt;br /&gt;
* Validate the contents of ingest folders prior to initiating the ingest to DSpace&lt;br /&gt;
* Present users with a simple, web-based form to initiate the batch ingest process&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The applications have eliminated a number of error-prone steps from the ingest workflow and have significantly reduced a number of tedious data editing steps.  These applications have empowered content experts to be in charge of their own collections. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In this presentation, I will provide a demonstration of the tools that were built and discuss the development process that was followed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Quality Assurance Reports for DSpace Collections ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Terry Brady, Georgetown University, twb27@georgetown.edu&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Georgetown University Library has developed a collection of quality assurance reports to improve the consistency of the metadata in our DSpace collections.  The report infrastructure permits the creation of query snippets to test for possible consistency errors within the repository such as items missing thumbnails, items with multiple thumbnails, items missing a creation date, items containing improperly formatted dates, items without duplicated metadata fields, items recently added items across the repository, a community or a collection&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These reports have served to prioritize programmatic data cleanup tasks and manual data cleanup tasks.  The reports have served as a progress tracker for data cleanup work and will provide on-going monitoring of the metadata consistency of the repository.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In this presentation, I will provide a demonstration of the tools that were built and discuss the development process that was followed.&lt;br /&gt;

== A Hybrid Solution for Improving Single Sign-On to a Proxy Service with Squid and EZproxy through Shibboleth and ExLibris’ Aleph X-Server ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Alexander Jerabek, UQAM - Université du Québec à Montréal, jerabek.alexander_j@uqam.ca&lt;br /&gt;
* Minh-Quang Nguyen, UQAM - Université du Québec à Montréal, nguyen.minh-quang@uqam.ca&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In this talk, we will describe how we developed and implemented a hybrid solution for improving single sign-on in conjunction with the library’s proxy service. This hybrid solution consists of integrating the disparate elements of EZproxy, the Squid workflow, Shibboleth, and the Aleph X-Server. We will report how this new integrated service improves the user experience. To our knowledge, this new service is unique and has not been implemented anywhere else. We will also present some statistics after approximately one year in production.&lt;br /&gt;

== Hybrid Archival Collections Using Blacklight and Hydra ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Adam Wead, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, awead@rockhall.org&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the Library and Archives of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, we use available tools such as Archivists' Toolkit to create EAD finding aids of our collections.  However, managing digital content created from these materials and the born-digital content that is also part of these collections represents a significant challenge.  In my presentation, I will discuss how we solve the problem of our hybrid collections by using Hydra as a digital asset manager and Blacklight as a unified presentation and discovery interface for all our materials.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our strategy centers around indexing ead xml into Solr as multiple documents: one for each collection, and one for every series, sub-series and item contained within a collection.  For discovery, we use this strategy to leverage item-level searching of archival collections alongside our traditional library content.  For digital collections, we use this same technique to represent a finding aid in Hydra as a set of linked objects using RDF.  New digital items are then linked to these parent objects at the collection and series level.  Once this is done, the items can be exported back out to the Blacklight solr index and the digital content appears along with the rest of the items in the collection.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Making the Web Accessible through Solid Design ==&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
* [[User:Cynthia|Cynthia Ng]] from Ryerson University Library &amp;amp; Archives&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In libraries, we are always trying our best to be accessible to everyone and we make every effort to do so physically, but what about our websites? Web designers are great at talking about the user experience and how to improve it, but what sometimes gets overlooked is how to make a site more accessible and meet accessibility guidelines. While guidelines are necessary to cover a minimum standard, web accessibility should come from good web design without ‘sacrificing’ features. While it's difficult to make a website fully accessible to everyone, there are easy, practical ways to make a site as accessible as possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While the focus will be on websites and meeting the Web Accessibility Guidelines WCAG, the presentation will also touch on how to make custom web interfaces accessible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Getting People to What They Need Fast! A Wayfinding Tool to Locate Books &amp;amp; Much More ==&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Having a bewildered, lost user in the building or stacks is a common occurrence, but we can help our users find their way through enhanced maps and floor plans.  While not a new concept, these maps are integrated into the user’s flow of information without having to load a special app. The map not only highlights the location, but also provides all the related information with a link back to the detailed item view. During the first stage of the project, it has only be implemented for books (and other physical items), but the 'RULA Finder' is built to help users find just about anything and everything in the library including study rooms, computer labs, and staff. With a simple to use admin interface, it makes it easy for everyone, staff and users. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The application is written in PHP with data stored in a MySQL database. The end-user interface involves jQuery, JSON, and the library's discovery layer (Summon) API.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The presentation will not only cover the technical aspects, but also the implementation and usability findings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== De-sucking the Library User Experience ==&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
* Jeremy Prevost, Northwestern University, j-prevost {AT} northwestern [DOT] edu&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Have you ever thought that library vendors purposely create the worst possible user experience they can imagine because they just hate users? Have you ever thought that your own library website feels like it was created by committee rather than for users because, well, it was? I’ll talk about how we used vendor supplied APIs to our ILS and Discovery tool to create an experience for our users that sucks at least a little bit less.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The talk will provide specific examples of how inefficient or confusing vendor supplied solutions are from a user perspective along with our specific streamlined solutions to the same problems. Code examples will be minimal as the focus will be on improving user experience rather than any one code solution of doing that. Examples may include the seemingly simple tasks of renewing a book or requesting an item from another campus library.&lt;br /&gt;

== Modernizing VuFind with Zend Framework 2 ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Demian Katz, Villanova University, demian DOT katz AT villanova DOT edu&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When setting goals for a new major release of VuFind, use of an existing web framework was an important decision to encourage standardization and avoid reinvention of the wheel.  Zend Framework 2 was selected as providing the best balance between the cutting-edge (ZF2 was released in 2012) and stability (ZF1 has a long history and many adopters).  This talk will examine some of the architecture and features of the new framework and discuss how it has been used to improve the VuFind project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Did You Really Say That Out Loud?  Tools and Techniques for Safe Public WiFi Computing  ==&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
* [[User:DataGazetteer|Peter Murray]], LYRASIS, Peter.Murray@lyrasis.org&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Public WiFi networks, even those that have passwords, are nothing more that an old-time [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Party_line_(telephony) party line]: what every you say can be easily heard by anyone nearby.  &lt;br /&gt;
Remember [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firesheep Firesheep]?  &lt;br /&gt;
It was an extension to Firefox that demonstrated how easy it was to snag session cookies and impersonate someone else.&lt;br /&gt;
So what are you sending out over the airwaves, and what techniques are available to prevent eavesdropping?&lt;br /&gt;
This talk will demonstrate tools and techniques for desktop and mobile operating systems that you should be using right now -- right here at Code4Lib -- to protect your data and your network activity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Drupal 8 Preview — Symfony and Twig ==&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
* [[User:Highermath|Cary Gordon]], The Cherry Hill Company, cgordon@chillco.com&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Drupal is a great platform for building web applications. Last year, the core developers decided to adopt the Symfony PHP framework, because it would lay the groundwork for the modernization (and de-PHP4ification) of the Drupal codebase. As I write this, the Symfony ClassLoader and HttpFoundation libraries are committed to Drupal core, with more elements likely before Drupal 8 code freeze.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It seems almost certain that the Twig templating engine will supplant PHPtemplate as the core Drupal template engine. Twig is a powerful, secure theme building tool that removes PHP from the templating system, the result being a very concise and powerful theme layer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Symfony and Twig have a common creator, Fabien Potencier, who's overall goal is to rid the world of the excesses of PHP 4.&lt;br /&gt;

== Neat! But How Do We Do It? - The Real-world Problem of Digitizing Complex Corporate Digital Objects ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Matthew Mariner, University of Colorado Denver, Auraria Library, matthew.mariner@ucdenver.edu&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Isn't it neat when you discover that you are the steward of dozens of Sanborn Fire Instance Maps, hundreds of issues of a city directory, and thousands of photographs of persons in either aforementioned medium? And it's even cooler when you decide, &amp;quot;Let's digitize these together and make them one big awesome project to support public urban history&amp;quot;?  Unfortunately it's a far more difficult process than one imagines at inception and, sadly, doesn't always come to fruition.  My goal here is to discuss the technological (and philosophical) problems librarians and archivists face when trying to create ultra-rich complex corporate digital projects, or, rather, projects consisting of at least three facets interrelated by theme.  I intend to address these problems by suggesting management solutions, web workarounds, and, perhaps, a philosophy that might help in determining whether to even move forward or not.  Expect a few case studies of &amp;quot;grand ideas crushed by technological limitations&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;projects on the right track&amp;quot; to follow.   &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
== ResCarta Tools building a standard format for audio archiving, discovery and display ==&lt;br /&gt;

== Hybrid Archival Collections Using Blacklight and Hydra ==&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
At the Library and Archives of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, we use available tools such as Archivists' Toolkit to create EAD finding aids of our collections.  However, managing digital content created from these materials and the born-digital content that is also part of these collections represents a significant challenge.  In my presentation, I will discuss how we solve the problem of our hybrid collections by using Hydra as a digital asset manager and Blacklight as a unified presentation and discovery interface for all our materials.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our strategy centers around indexing ead xml into Solr as multiple documents: one for each collection, and one for every series, sub-series and item contained within a collection.  For discovery, we use this strategy to leverage item-level searching of archival collections alongside our traditional library content.  For digital collections, we use this same technique to represent a finding aid in Hydra as a set of linked objects using RDF.  New digital items are then linked to these parent objects at the collection and series level.  Once this is done, the items can be exported back out to the Blacklight solr index and the digital content appears along with the rest of the items in the collection.&lt;br /&gt;

In libraries, we are always trying our best to be accessible to everyone and we make every effort to do so physically, but what about our websites? Web designers are great at talking about the user experience and how to improve it, but what sometimes gets overlooked is how to make a site more accessible and meet accessibility guidelines. While guidelines are necessary to cover a minimum standard, web accessibility should come from good web design without ‘sacrificing’ features. While it's difficult to make a website fully accessible to everyone, there are easy, practical ways to make a site as accessible as possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While the focus will be on websites and meeting the Web Accessibility Guidelines WCAG, the presentation will also touch on how to make custom web interfaces accessible.&lt;br /&gt;

Having a bewildered, lost user in the building or stacks is a common occurrence, but we can help our users find their way through enhanced maps and floor plans.  While not a new concept, these maps are integrated into the user’s flow of information without having to load a special app. The map not only highlights the location, but also provides all the related information with a link back to the detailed item view. During the first stage of the project, it has only be implemented for books (and other physical items), but the 'RULA Finder' is built to help users find just about anything and everything in the library including study rooms, computer labs, and staff. With a simple to use admin interface, it makes it easy for everyone, staff and users. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The application is written in PHP with data stored in a MySQL database. The end-user interface involves jQuery, JSON, and the library's discovery layer (Summon) API.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The presentation will not only cover the technical aspects, but also the implementation and usability findings.&lt;br /&gt;

== De-sucking the Library User Experience ==&lt;br /&gt;

Have you ever thought that library vendors purposely create the worst possible user experience they can imagine because they just hate users? Have you ever thought that your own library website feels like it was created by committee rather than for users because, well, it was? I’ll talk about how we used vendor APIs to our ILS and Discovery tool to create an experience for our users that sucks at least a little bit less.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The talk will provide specific examples of how ridiculous vendor supplied solutions are from a user perspective along with our specific streamlined solutions to the same problems. Code examples will be minimal as the focus will be on improving user experience rather than any one code solution of doing that.&lt;br /&gt;
