code4lib 2015 During the Conference Volunteers



== Preconference Setup Help ==

Help manage preconference sessions, setting up projectors, etc.

* John Sarnowski (at ResCarta)
*
*
*

== Welcome Wagon Committee ==

Offers conference newcomers an opportunity to self-identify; offers oldtimers an opportunity to meet newcomers. May also want to constitute a year-round variation for #code4lib.

* Becky Yoose (b.yoose at google)

== Social Networking ==
Responsible for non-IRC social networking presence.

1-2 person(s) to take questions for sessions (assuming there's time during the session) via Twitter/IRC, and adding resources to lanyrd schedule (slides, notes, resources mentioned, etc.) Make a note if you can only do one or both.

Consider directing people with questions to presenter on twitter/IRC (if applicable) if there is no time for questions.

== Beverage Share Setup/Teardown ==

Help set up and clean up after the Tuesday event at the Ebay offices.

* Karen Estlund - setup
* John Sarnowski - clean up (at ResCarta)

== IRC Helpers ==
Demonstrate how to get onto #code4lib during Registration. Offer support for newcomers in #code4lib during the conference.

One of the easiest ways to participate is to [http://webchat.freenode.net/ Go here] with your web browser. Choose a nickname (anything works so long as it is unique; if you want to be anonymous pick appropriately). Enter "code4lib" as the "Channel".

If you've managed to get into the channel without help, type "@helpers" (without the quotes) to see a list of #code4lib helpers.

== IRC Access ==
Look into technology/procedures to make connecting to, and maintaining a connection to, IRC less painful. i.e. make sure wifi will allow connection, and someone needs to contact freenode about the sudden influx of people

* Mx Matienzo (anarchivist)

==Registration Desk Volunteers==

2014 Breakout II (Wednesday)

==UX==

''Notes by @erinrwhite again. Y'all cannot escape me''

NCSU's UX department is cross-functional and has members from across departments. Looking at creating cross-channel experiences from digital to real life. Working on consistency across experiences. Expanded on UMich's UX department to create a UX research team.

Research: the NCSU does a research project every month. NCSU is also training new library fellows to infuse User Experience work into their projects. Growing the culture of UX within the organization.

===Process===

How do you work in harmony with a dev team when sometimes the UX team can be the roadblock to development? Need to get a workflow that works so that everyone can move quickly.

UXing web pages vs. entire web applications: they're totally different experiences so need different approaches to user experience evaluation.

===Research===

Guerrilla research: go out into the public spaces of your library to test prototypes or design ideas. Make it quick. User research doesn't have to be a huge deal.

If you can't give money as remuneration, give 'em candy bars. But make the candy bars full-size, not the minis.

===Librarians are users too...right?===

How do we push back against librarians' assertions that pages/interfaces should look a certain way?

Research with users can *sometimes* help.

Need to communicate your evidence to your library. UT hired someone last year just to do IT communication (!).

Numbers don't always work. Need a visual tool if possible (i.e. a heatmap). If you can compile a video or audio of user interviews or usability testing, that can be very powerful.

===Resources===

Recommendation: 37Signals' book [https://gettingreal.37signals.com/ Getting Real] on helping choose things that are/aren't important and moving on.

===Publish your damn work!===

As a community, we need to get better about sharing our work with each other so we don't have to keep reinventing the wheel.

==Securing EZproxy==
Mag II

==Tech service==
Pine Oak

==AngularJS==
Capitol

==BIBFRAME 2 & Linked Data==
in Ballroom

==Unusual searches & long searches==
Willow Oak

==ResCarta==
We gathered in the ballroom and had an active conversation about the philosophy of keeping archives in a reduced set of file formats with standardized metadata. We reviewed directory structures and METS collection level details.
For a future reduction of coding and costs we advise the reduction of file formats (normalization) on ingestion into a structured archive.

Justin from Artefactual shared their philosophy and thoughts on use of METS collection level file contents.

Historically systems like NDNP are gate keeper validation systems and we should be building digital archive creation systems. Build to a standard under code control rather than code to check hand made datasets.

==OCLC institution RDF project==
in ballroom

== Digital Preservation ==

Cost issues, billing departments, charging grant projects one-time vs. multiple

Internal vs. external hosting

Trusted Digital Repository, TRAC, ISO standard

Geographic distribution, what does that actually mean

? who is using checksums and how often they are verifying
 UNC - make sure checksums checked every quarter, throttle/stagger checking

? Has anyone had checksum checks fail?
 only time is user error, checking wrong one, files are changed after initial checksum

video - frame-level checksum, part of ffmpeg, make frame level information and checksum that

? how much code/time is done to check on problems with checksums?
 manual vs. auto repair, prefer manual intervention

how often to check tapes, without further damaging tape

for testing, there's a tool that will flip bits
 disaster recovery testing
 hesitance to test/break files on production

ZFS, self-healing filesystem, replication (worried about replicating checksum errors)

? about viruses, malicious scripts
 UNC runs ClamAV on everything, does make sure everyone is authorized user

AV Artifact Atlas - visual glossary of damage types to a/v files

tape backup of everything can take too long to run (days)
 rely on multiple copies of objects on disk

format migrations - no one has really done it yet
 archivematica wiki is great resource

normalization on ingest
 emulation as a service - possible collaboration in community
 internet archive emulation service using javascript/jsmess

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

2014 preconference proposals

2014-03-23T20:15:46Z

Sarney: /* 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=

===Drupal4lib Sub-con Barcamp===
=====Full Day=====

* Contact [[User:highermath|Cary Gordon]], cgordon@chillco.com

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.

This event is open to the library community. There will be a nominal fee (t/b/d) for non-Code4LibCon attendees (subject to organizer approval).

===Open Refine Hackfest===
'''"Half-Day[Morning]"'''
* Contact [[User:bibliotechy|Chad Nelson]], chadbnelson@gmail.com

[http://openrefine.org/ Open Refine] is a powerful open source tool for wrangling messy data that can also be used to help in the creation of Linked Data via the [https://github.com/OpenRefine/OpenRefine/wiki/Reconciliation-Service-API Reconciliation API]. It is possible to write reconciliation services against API's, like the [http://iphylo.blogspot.com/2013/04/reconciling-author-names-using-open.html VIAF service] or, even just against local authority files for helping maintain authority control

The session would first introduce Open Refine, then walk through building a reconciliation service, and the rest of the session would be a hackfest where we build new reconciliation services for public consumption or local use.

===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.

* Contact: Darren Hardy, Stanford University, drh@stanford.edu
* Moderator: Bess Sadler, Stanford University, bess@stanford.edu

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]'''
* Contact [[User:Mredar|Mark Redar]], mredar[at]gmail.com

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 ===

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

The Summon Hackfest (10:30am-12pm) will be a great opportunity for libraries using the Summon service to talk about improving discovery of resources, 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 Summon Hackfest is 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.

2013 Lightning Talks Signup

2013-02-14T17:06:50Z

Sarney:

'''Sign up for Lightning Talks!!'''

Lightning talks are scheduled on all three days of the conference. A lightning talk is a fast-paced 5 minute talk on a topic of your choosing. Sign-ups for lightning talks will open immediately following the first keynote.

Mark Jason Dominus has a nice page [http://perl.plover.com/lt/lightning-talks.html about lightning talks], which includes this summary of why you might want to do one:

''Maybe you've never given a talk before, and you'd like to start small. For a Lightning Talk, you don't need to make slides, and if you do decide to make slides, you only need to make three.''

''Maybe you're nervous and you're afraid you'll mess up. It's a lot easier to plan and deliver a five minute talk than it is to deliver a long talk. And if you do mess up, at least the painful part will be over quickly.''

''Maybe you don't have much to say. Maybe you just want to ask a question, or invite people to help you with your project, or boast about something you did, or tell a short cautionary story. These things are all interesting and worth talking about, but there might not be enough to say about them to fill up thirty minutes.''

You might also like Mark Fowler's's [http://www.perl.com/pub/2004/07/30/lightningtalk.html Advice for Giving a Lightning Talk].

Have something to add but didn't get a chance to do it in Chicago? Consider signing up to present at the [[Virtual Lightning Talks]] on April 3rd, 2013.

'''LIGHTNING TALK SIGNUPS OPEN AT 10 AM EST ON FEBRUARY 12'''

2013 talks proposals

2012-10-04T15:27:33Z

Sarney:

Deadline for talk submission is ''Friday, November 2'' at 5pm PT.

Prepared talks are 20 minutes (including setup and questions), and focus on one or more of the following areas:
* tools (some cool new software, software library or integration platform)
* specs (how to get the most out of some protocols, or proposals for new ones)
* challenges (one or more big problems we should collectively address)

The community will vote on proposals using the criteria of:
* usefulness
* newness
* geekiness
* uniqueness
* awesomeness

Please follow the formatting guidelines:

<pre>
== Talk Title ==

* Speaker's name, affiliation, and email address
* Second speaker's name, affiliation, email address, if applicable

Abstract of no more than 500 words.
</pre>

== Modernizing VuFind with Zend Framework 2 ==

* Demian Katz, Villanova University, demian DOT katz AT villanova DOT edu

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.

== Did You Really Say That Out Loud? Tools and Techniques for Safe Public WiFi Computing ==

* [[User:DataGazetteer|Peter Murray]], LYRASIS, Peter.Murray@lyrasis.org

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.
Remember [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firesheep Firesheep]?
It was an extension to Firefox that demonstrated how easy it was to snag session cookies and impersonate someone else.
So what are you sending out over the airwaves, and what techniques are available to prevent eavesdropping?
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.

== Drupal 8 Preview — Symfony and Twig ==

* [[User:Highermath|Cary Gordon]], The Cherry Hill Company, cgordon@chillco.com

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.

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.

Symfony and Twig have a common creator, Fabien Potencier, who's overall goal is to rid the world of the excesses of PHP 4.

== Neat! But How Do We Do It? - The Real-world Problem of Digitizing Complex Corporate Digital Objects ==

* Matthew Mariner, University of Colorado Denver, Auraria Library, matthew.mariner@ucdenver.edu

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, "Let's digitize these together and make them one big awesome project to support public urban history"? 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 "grand ideas crushed by technological limitations" and "projects on the right track" to follow.

== ResCarta Tools building a standard format for audio archiving, discovery and display ==

* [[User:sarney|John Sarnowski]], The ResCarta Foundation, john.sarnowski@rescarta.org

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.

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.

ResCarta-Web presents your audio to IE, Chome, Firefox, Safari, and Opera browsers with full playback and word search capability. Display format is OGG!!

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)
