===Presentations ===

'''Digitizing World War One Music with the Illinois State Library and Pritzker Military Museum''' - Andrew Bullen, Illinois State Library

I can talk about this program and how we use optical musical recognition to make “playable” MP3 files for the tunes.

'''Digital Preservation at Loyola University Chicago''' - Margaret Heller (and possibly others), Loyola University Chicago

We made the vended choice for digital preservation, but what does that actually mean in practice?
W or Th
10 minutes

'''Library Website Redesign Panel Discussion''' - Various

In 2016, several Chicago-area libraries redesigned their websites. This panel will discuss the different processes they went through and results.

'''[https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1DmruGeKwqWUE_kc2J1SA57_S1sg0nhZL9vu__2tMK3Y Towards a Linked Data workflow]''' - Tod A. Olson, University of Chicago

The U. Chicago Library is experimenting with acting as a producer and consumer of linked data. I will discuss a pilot project involving centered around an existing collection of photographs.

'''Search Experience at the University of Michigan Library''' - Jon Earley, University of Michigan

Our newest search tool aims to greatly improve the discoverability and accessibility of our enormous volume of resources by bringing our complex siloed resources together and make them easily searchable in one interface. This presentation will focus on front-end technology decisions and architecture, why we decided to build this discovery interface, the overall strategic direction, and a demo of the beta application. W, 20 minutes

'''Omeka to Scalar Transition''' - Matt Krc, Newberry Library

'''Computational Archival Science: Highlights from the 2016 CAS Workshop''' ([https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1F62zA_jPsmbFVxbICI2e_HT__YFjRcDoABRVKRKMa5k/edit?pli=1#slide=id.p Slides]) - Robert J. Sandusky, University of Illinois at Chicago

The workshop [http://dcicblog.umd.edu/cas/ieee_big_data_2016_cas-workshop Computational Archival Science: Digital Records in the Age of Big Data] was held at the IEEE Big Data conference in Washington, D.C. in December 2016. This presentation will highlight some of the themes that emerged from the presentations, papers, posters, and discussions at the workshop. A related breakout session will allow code4lib Midwest attendees share what they're doing computationaly and what they need to scale up and improve accessibility, discoverability, and processing of archives and records. W, 20 minutes

We will be at the Daley Library.

=== Call for Presenters ===
Share what you are working on! We are looking for 20 minute talks, lightning talks, hour long talks, and a lengthier (90 minute) workshop style talk.

Please list your proposed topic below:

*Name, Title, Topic

* Eric Lease Morgan (Digital Projects Librarian, University of Notre Dame) and "Text Mining in 'Discovery Systems'" - This short presentation will describe what text mining is, and then it will demonstrate how text mining can be integrated into library "discovery systems". The goal of the presentation is to increase the awareness of digital humanities computing techniques and to encourage the library profession to embrace them as a way of making collections more useful.

* Peter Schlumpf (Avanti Library Systems) and "Avanti Nova: A Semantic Mapping System" - This presentation will introduce and demonstrate the latest work on Avanti Nova, a semantic mapping software. Nova provides a new and useful way of doing some things. The basic concepts, principles and how it works will be explained, and there will be a demonstration of the software implementing a library catalogue.

* Margaret Kipp (Assistant Professor, University of Wisconsin Milwaukee) and "Teaching Linked Data and the Semantic Web to MLIS Students" - This short presentation will report on the scope, coverage and results of teaching a course on linked data in libraries to a group of MLIS students which encouraged them to explore aspects of information organisation through experimenting with library and non-library metadata, semantic web and web 2.0 tools for creating library mashups. One of the goals of the presentation is to start a conversation about what libraries are doing with linked data and the semantic web and how we can incorporate this knowledge into MLIS courses.

=== Hackfest topics ===

Got a problem that coders can solve? We will set aside time for a hackfest -- post your issues now.

* Anyone interested in taking XTF apart

=== Affinity Groups ===
* [[Mobile Devices]]
* FRBR + Media
* Repositories
* EPUBs
* [[jQuery intro]]

=== Accommodations ===

There are quite a number of hotels in the immediate area, but the following two are recommended in priority order:

# [http://www.innatsaintmarys.com Inn at St. Mary's] - Close. Inexpensive. Gets very good recommendations. Probably serves a breakfast. Within walking distance, but also hosts a shuttle service
# [http://morrisinn.nd.edu/ Morris Inn] - On campus and therefore very close. A bit pricey. A nice hotel.

=== Registration ===

Registration will make it easier for us to plan as well as get you wireless access while you are here. To register, simply send [mailto:emorgan@nd.edu Eric Morgan] an email message, and he will keep track of things.

=== Fees ===

There are no fees with the exception of your hotel and travel costs. At least one lunch and one dinner will be provided.

=== Mailing list ===

For better or for worse, Code4Lib "Midwest" has low-traffic [http://groups.google.com/group/code4lib-midwest mailing list/Google group]. Consider subscribing.

=== Summary ===

The Inaugural Code4Lib "Midwest" Regional Meeting (June 11 & 12, 2010 at the University of Notre Dame) was a qualified success.

About twenty-six people attended. (At least that was the number of people who went to lunch.) They came from Michigan, Ohio, Iowa, Indiana, and Illinois. Julia Bauder won the prize for coming the furthest distance away — Grinnell, Iowa.

We began with Lightning Talks:

* ePub files by Michael Kreyche
* FRBR and MARC data by Kelly McGrath
* Great Books by Eric Lease Morgan
* jQuery and the OPAC by Ken Irwin
* Notre Dame and the Big Ten by Michael Witt
* Solr & Drupal by Rob Casson
* Subject headings via a Web Service by Michael Kreyche
* Taverna by Rick Johnson and Banu Lakshminarayanan
* VUFind on a hard disk by Julia Bauder

We dined in the University's South Dining Hall, and toured a bit of the campus on the way back taking in the "giant marble", the Architecture Library, and the Dome.

In the afternoon we broke up into smaller groups and discussed things including institutional repositories, mobile devices & interfaces, ePub files, and FRBR. In the evening we enjoyed varieties of North Carolina barbecue, and then retreated to the campus bar (Legend's) for a few beers.

The Code4Lib Challenge was not successful. Us hackers were either to engrossed to notice whether or not anybody came to the event, or nobody showed up to challenge us. Maybe next time.

There were fewer participants on Day #2. We spent the time listening to Ken elaborate on the uses and benefits of jQuery. Eric hacked at something I'm calling "The Great Books Survey".

The event was successful in that it provided plenty of opportunity to discuss shared problems and solutions. A good time was had by all, and it is quite possible the next "Midwest" Regional Meeting will be hosted by the folks in Chicago.
