===Presentations ===

'''Title''' - Serverless & IIIF

'''Presenter, Affiliation''' - Jeff Mixter & Hank Sway, OCLC

'''Description'''

'''Title''' - jQuery for a Citation Game

'''Presenter, Affiliation''' - Minhao Jiang, Wayne State University

'''Description'''

The Wayne State University's citation game, accessible at https://library.wayne.edu/services/instruction/research/mod6/ (they are located near the far right end of the carousel), experienced a round of modernization just months ago due to various reasons including the shift from the use of technologies that were researched to be both increasingly proprietary and on the decline to those which are open source. jQuery widgets ended up being used as the replacement. The citation game is an excellent example that web development technologies can be used beyond the intended way, and be translated to an essential piece in library instruction. In addition to the introduction of the background, the presentation will focus on lessons learned including those related to interplay with the coda-slider package, which provides the sliding behavior among all game sessions pertaining to a particular citation format.

'''Title''' - Support Ticket Best Practices

'''Presenter, Affiliation''' - Paul Butler, Ball State University

'''Description'''

For many of us reading and submitting support tickets is a daily task, but perhaps not something we've formalized. For this presentation I will discuss the elements that makeup a successful support ticket. I will then open the conversation up to the room to elicit useful insights and horror stories.

'''Title''' - Overcoming the Pitfalls of LibGuides through Design

'''Presenter, Affiliation''' - Simon Robins, Northwest Ohio Medical University

'''Description'''

This presentation will focus on two case examples of comprehensive LibGuide redesigns which aimed to depart from traditional usage of LibGuides with regard to design and layout. It will include a discussion of the HTML and CSS developed and the usability heuristics applied. I will also detail how I envision this type of content as a departure from standard usage of LibGuides at academic libraries, which often consists of bulleted lists of resources. This presentation will encourage the librarian community, especially the medical librarian community, to think of their LibGuides as web content deserving of the same attention to design, usability, and appearance as other online content.

'''Title''' - Using Combine to Aggregate and Assess Metadata

'''Presenter, Affiliation''' - Amelia Mowry, Wayne State University

'''Description'''

Combine is an open-source metadata aggregation tool originally developed at Wayne State University. It harvests data and allows for assessment, validation, and transformation. This presentation will introduce Combine and discuss the ways it can be used in digital library workflows.

'''Title''' - Library Website: CMS vs. SSG

'''Presenter, Affiliation''' - Meng Qu, Miami University

'''Description'''

The Miami University Web Service Team of the University Library is renovating the library website in recent months and keep working on the site building. During the process, the team has examined the general Content Management System platforms and summarized a series of advantages and disadvantages of these applications. Meanwhile, the proposal for replacing the current platform (Drupal 7) with a Static Site Generator (Jekyll) is rising in the website development industry. Therefore, the Miami University Library Web Service Team decided to apply a combination of CMS + SSG to renovate the library website. In this presentation, the web service librarian from the team would like to share the evaluation process and decision making of the project, and to discuss the methodology of finding a suitable platform to develop a library website.

'''Title''' - A Demo of FOLIO: What Does a Library App-based Platform Look Like

'''Presenter, Affiliation''' - Peter Murray, Index Data

'''Description'''

After a couple of years of intense development, FOLIO is reaching the stage where libraries are considering its use for production tasks. One of the aims of FOLIO is to reduce the effort required for testing out new ideas for in the library marketplace. The core apps have RESTful APIs all the way down to the tenant configuration level, which enables other systems to interact with FOLIO in unique ways. This talk demonstrates the user interface of FOLIO (project name "Stripes") and the RESTful microservices gateway (project name "Okapi"). Participants will have a greater understanding of FOLIO's vision for an app-based platform and the mechanics of the FOLIO technology.

'''Title''' - The Connected Repository : The Bibliography of the Web

'''Presenter, Affiliation''' - Thomas Scherz, University of Cincinnati

'''Description'''

As all of our information moves from print to digital objects we need new ways to validate, cross-reference, and authenticate information. The Web 3.0 is providing us the next generation tools to help connect, describe, and verify that the informational resources we are using are factually related. Like most intelligences this will be automated through AI engines, coded algorithms, resource linking, and accurate metadata. We will explore some of the current technologies (APIs, Cloud Providers,…), open access protocols (Linked Open Data, DOIs, URIs,…), and community initiatives (Semantic Web, RDF,…) The goal of this presentation is to provide an overview of current linking technologies, demonstrate possible integration for your institutional repository, and discuss the future of validation and verification.

===Lightning Talks===

==Programming Sign-up==

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/workshop.

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)

===Presentations or Workshops===

'''ActiveSierra''' - Sean Crowe and James Van Mil: while waiting for a useful API from III, we've modeled useful bits of the Sierra database for use in Rails apps and in vanilla ruby. We'd be able to present the SierraDNA and ActiveRecord/ActiveModel frameworks with some of the tools we're building (~1 hour?). If folks have access to their home III database systems, we could also host a workshop/hackfest around these tools.

'''Text mining: An introduction''' - This hands-on workshop will introduce participants to the use of Python's Natural Language Toolkit ([http://www.nltk.org NLTK]), and through this process participants will learn the rudiments of text mining. While it may sound trivial, the workshop will count and tabulate words. How many words are in a given document? What are those words, and how often do they occur? How significant are those words compared to a similar sent in a different document? Visualize the comparison. Identify where selected words appear in a document and visualize that. After identifying significant words in a text, use a simple keyword-in-context (concordance) application to understand who the words are used in the text. Using these simple techniques a person can "read" a large corpuse of materials quickly and easily. Participants will be expected to have their own computers with the NLTK previously installed. --Eric Lease Morgan (University of Notre Dame)
