= Code4Lib 2023 Conference Committees =

Hosting a conference is complex, and it cannot be done without the help of the entire community. If you are interested in being an awesome person and applying your skills to a particular part of the Code4Lib 2023 conference, create an account on this wiki and sign-up for one or more of the groups below (please provide a contact). Each committee must have a Primary Contact (chair), Secondary Contact (co-chair), and Documentarian (secretary). The role of the Documentarian is to transcribe key information to future conference committees, such as timelines, costs, process, etc. Feel free to improve the summary statements for each of the committees. When adding your name, please indicate 'v' if you are a veteran on the committee so that we ensure committees are not made up entirely of newbies.

We will assign a local contact (LPC) to each committee.

Hosting a conference is incredibly complex, and it cannot be done without the help of the entire community. If you are interested in being an awesome person and applying your skills to a particular part of the Code4Lib 2018 conference, create an account on this wiki and sign-up for one or more of the groups below (please provide a contact). Each committee must have a Primary Contact (chair), Secondary Contact (co-chair), and Documentarian (secretary). The role of the Documentarian is to transcribe key information to future conference committees, such as timelines, costs, process, etc. Feel free to improve the summary statements for each of the committees. When adding your name, please indicate 'v' if you are a veteran on the committee so that we ensure committees are not made up entirely of newbies.

* We will assign a local contact (LPC) to each committee.

* The chair/co-chair of each committee will be added to the private Code4Lib Slack channel, #c4l18-lpc, for direct communication with the LPC. If you cannot access the channel, please ping @bohyunkim either in slack or twitter.

* All committees and committee members abides by [https://github.com/code4lib/antiharassment-policy/blob/master/code_of_conduct.md the Code4Lib Code of Conduct].

'''VIAF and Elasticsearch''' - Ralph LeVan, OCLC Research:
I'll give an overview of the technology supporting VIAF and our exercise to switch from our home-grown Pears database loading XML records and move to JSON-based Elasticsearch. ([http://www.oclc.org/content/dam/research/presentations/levan/levan-viaf-magic-code4lib-2016.pptx Slides])

'''How not to work during a sabbatical''' - Eric Lease Morgan, University of Notre Dame:
I will outline the set of applications/systems I wrote during my (not a) sabbatical. They include text mining tools, image processing & analysis hacks, MARC data enrichment activities, collection management decision-making scripts, etc. [[http://blogs.nd.edu/emorgan/2016/07/adjunct-status/ blog posting & one-page handout]]

'''Policies for Data Management''' -Abigail Goben, UIC:
I'll review what might be included in institutional policies and what to think about beyond data security for library data and library research data.

'''Exploring Born-Digital Data and Format Conversion Strategies with DROID and Plotly''' - Max Eckard, Bentley Historical Library:
I recently dug through about 5 years' worth of born-digital archives processed here at the Bentley. This gave me the opportunity to explore not only our born-digital data--and what it *really* looks like--but also the format conversion strategies we employ as part of our Ingest process. [[https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/13xvrQioT_jvqkTUWcnxb896c9EtpuqojqmsLvytdtiw/edit?usp=sharing slides]]

'''Wrapping an Image Server in Proxy and Cache Blankets''' - Graham Hukill, Wayne State University:
Serving images can be a digital object repository's bread and butter, but can touch on logistical and policy complexities. By wrapping the Python based "Loris" image server in a homegrown proxy, and caching with Varnish, we've been able to improve our image delivery, while keeping stakeholders happy as well. [[https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1uE8l9Ly0M9d6WZvgs1VOULYnkeQrNf5QMef66tWIku8/edit?usp=sharing slides]]

'''Library Gamification in Theory and Practice''' - Ken Irwin, Wittenberg University:
People have been talking for years about bringing gamification ideas into library projects. I will talk about some gamification basics, how I've implemented some of them on one project, and we can discuss other areas in which gamification could be employed.
[[http://www6.wittenberg.edu/lib/ken/presentations/gamification.pptx Slides (PowerPoint)]]

'''Architecting Change in Repository Code''' - Debs Cane, Northwestern University & Avalon Media System:
Presentation on how NU & Indiana plans to “breakup” Avalon’s code (streaming A/V repository solution) over the next few months for easier use from outside coders. I'll also discuss why we’ve made the decisions we’ve made; and the choices we need to make in deciding future pathways for Avalon’s technical and community development.

'''Audio Preservation and Automating Transcription''' - Megan Kudzia, Michigan State University:
I have been working on a project to automate transcription for a digitized audio oral history collection. This talk will cover: how I automated transcription; how I got the finished audio files and transcripts into our Islandora digital repository; problems that I'm still trying to figure out solutions for; and what I learned along the way. Slides here: http://bit.ly/29RLZkS

'''Batch-loading Electronic Serials Records while Maintaining High Quality Bibliographic Control''' - Jamie Carlstone, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign: I will go over the workflow challenges of batch loading electronic serials MARC records while trying to maintain a high standard of quality. The process requires a circular workflow between OCLC Connexion, MarcEdit, Excel, and Microsoft Access that is far from ideal. I will also discuss a program I am working on that aims to improve upon this process.

'''Evergreen, From the Bottom Up''' - Dan Wells, Calvin College:
We'll explore how Evergreen works from the server side, with particular focus on its unique and powerful underlying framework, OpenSRF.

'''Evergreen, From the Top Down''' - Remington Steed, Calvin College:
We'll start with a brief overview of Evergreen's features, then dig beneath the surface at the software's various client architectures, including the evolution from XUL, to Dojo, to Angular.

'''Building for Browsing and Discovery with Wagtail, an open-source Django CMS''' -
David Bietila & Brad Busenius, University of Chicago Library:
As part our recent website redesign, we sought to build in paths by which users could move laterally between related pages, discovering relevant resources and services without returning to the home page or to the global navigation. We'll present on the data model that we specified to allow these new types of relationships, and on the Wagtail CMS, which enabled us to realize the site that we wanted.

'''Your Rights Statements Are a Disaster''' - amy buckland, University of Chicago
Chances are good the rights statements on your digital projects are some degree of special-snowflakeness that makes them impossible to decipher with an institutional decoder ring. Fix that. RightsStatements.org offers some great licenses that everyone should get on board with to ensure our digital collections are actually usable!

'''Change''' - Ranti Junus and Megan Kudzia, Michigan State University
How do we make our organization|unit|team more accepting of change? How do we overcome preference vs. best practice? How do we know when a change is not the right answer? These are probably questions that we asked when a change is needed. Let's discuss the approach we employed on making change happens, or when we see that our vision of change is not what we think it should be. What works or doesn't for you?

'''Change''' - Ranti Junus and Megan Kudzia, Michigan State University
How do we make our organization|unit|team more accepting of change? How do we overcome preference vs. best practice? How do we know when a change is not the right answer? These are probably questions that we asked when a change is needed.

==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 a 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 Thursday or Friday (or if it doesn't matter)

===Presentations ===
(If you'd like to propose a workshop, talk to us.)

'''Talk Title''' - [Speaker Name]: [Description]

'''VIAF and Elasticsearch''' - Ralph LeVan, OCLC Research:
I'll give an overview of the technology supporting VIAF and our exercise to switch from our home-grown Pears database loading XML records and move to JSON-based Elasticsearch.

'''How not to work during a sabbatical''' - Eric Lease Morgan, University of Notre Dame:
I will outline the set of applications/systems I wrote during my (not a) sabbatical. They include text mining tools, image processing & analysis hacks, MARC data enrichment activities, collection management decision-making scripts, etc.

'''Policies for Data Management''' -Abigail Goben, UIC:
I'll review what might be included in institutional policies and what to think about beyond data security for library data and library research data.

'''Exploring Born-Digital Data and Format Conversion Strategies with DROID and Plotly''' - Max Eckard, Bentley Historical Library:
I recently dug through about 5 years' worth of born-digital archives processed here at the Bentley. This gave me the opportunity to explore not only our born-digital data--and what it *really* looks like--but also the format conversion strategies we employ as part of our Ingest process.

'''Wrapping an Image Server in Proxy and Cache Blankets''' - Graham Hukill, Wayne State University:
Serving images can be a digital object repository's bread and butter, but can touch on logistical and policy complexities. By wrapping the Python based "Loris" image server in a homegrown proxy, and caching with Varnish, we've been able to improve our image delivery, while keeping stakeholders happy as well.

'''Library Gamification in Theory and Practice''' - Ken Irwin, Wittenberg University:
People have been talking for years about bringing gamification ideas into library projects. I will talk about some gamification basics, how I've implemented some of them on one project, and we can discuss other areas in which gamification could be employed.

'''Architecting Change in Repository Code''' - Debs Cane, Northwestern University & Avalon Media System:
Presentation on how NU & Indiana plans to “breakup” Avalon’s code (streaming A/V repository solution) over the next few months for easier use from outside coders. I'll also discuss why we’ve made the decisions we’ve made; and the choices we need to make in deciding future pathways for Avalon’s technical and community development.

'''Audio Preservation and Automating Transcription''' - Megan Kudzia, Michigan State University:
I have been working on a project to automate transcription for a digitized audio oral history collection. This talk will cover: how I automated transcription; how I got the finished audio files and transcripts into our Islandora digital repository; problems that I'm still trying to figure out solutions for; and what I learned along the way.

'''Batch-loading Electronic Serials Records while Maintaining High Quality Bibliographic Control''' - Jamie Carlstone, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign: I will go over the workflow challenges of batch loading electronic serials MARC records while trying to maintain a high standard of quality. The process requires a circular workflow between OCLC Connexion, MarcEdit, Excel, and Microsoft Access that is far from ideal. I will also discuss a program I am working on that aims to improve upon this process.

'''Evergreen, From the Bottom Up''' - Dan Wells, Calvin College:
We'll explore how Evergreen works from the server side, with particular focus on its unique and powerful underlying framework, OpenSRF.

'''Evergreen, From the Top Down''' - Remington Steed, Calvin College:
We'll start with a brief overview of Evergreen's features, then dig beneath the surface at the software's various client architectures, including the evolution from XUL, to Dojo, to Angular.

'''Building for Browsing and Discovery with Wagtail, an open-source Django CMS''' -
David Bietila & Brad Busenius, University of Chicago Library:
As part our recent website redesign, we sought to build in paths by which users could move laterally between related pages, discovering relevant resources and services without returning to the home page or to the global navigation. We'll present on the data model that we specified to allow these new types of relationships, and on the Wagtail CMS, which enabled us to realize the site that we wanted.

'''Your Rights Statements Are a Disaster''' - amy buckland, University of Chicago
Chances are good the rights statements on your digital projects are some degree of special-snowflakeness that makes them impossible to decipher with an institutional decoder ring. Fix that. RightsStatements.org offers some great licenses that everyone should get on board with to ensure our digital collections are actually usable!

'''Change''' - Ranti Junus and Megan Kudzia, Michigan State University
How do we make our organization|unit|team more accepting of change? How do we overcome preference vs. best practice? How do we know when a change is not the right answer? These are probably questions that we asked when a change is needed. Let's discuss the approach we employed on making change happens, or when we see that our vision of change is not what we think it should be. What works or doesn't for you?

==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 a 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 Thursday or Friday (or if it doesn't matter)

===Presentations ===
(If you'd like to propose a workshop, talk to us.)

'''Talk Title''' - [Speaker Name]: [Description]

'''VIAF and Elasticsearch''' - Ralph LeVan, OCLC Research:
I'll give an overview of the technology supporting VIAF and our exercise to switch from our home-grown Pears database loading XML records and move to JSON-based Elasticsearch.

'''How not to work during a sabbatical''' - Eric Lease Morgan, University of Notre Dame:
I will outline the set of applications/systems I wrote during my (not a) sabbatical. They include text mining tools, image processing & analysis hacks, MARC data enrichment activities, collection management decision-making scripts, etc.

'''Policies for Data Management''' -Abigail Goben, UIC:
I'll review what might be included in institutional policies and what to think about beyond data security for library data and library research data.

'''Exploring Born-Digital Data and Format Conversion Strategies with DROID and Plotly''' - Max Eckard, Bentley Historical Library:
I recently dug through about 5 years' worth of born-digital archives processed here at the Bentley. This gave me the opportunity to explore not only our born-digital data--and what it *really* looks like--but also the format conversion strategies we employ as part of our Ingest process.

'''Wrapping an Image Server in Proxy and Cache Blankets''' - Graham Hukill, Wayne State University:
Serving images can be a digital object repository's bread and butter, but can touch on logistical and policy complexities. By wrapping the Python based "Loris" image server in a homegrown proxy, and caching with Varnish, we've been able to improve our image delivery, while keeping stakeholders happy as well.

'''Library Gamification in Theory and Practice''' - Ken Irwin, Wittenberg University:
People have been talking for years about bringing gamification ideas into library projects. I will talk about some gamification basics, how I've implemented some of them on one project, and we can discuss other areas in which gamification could be employed.

'''Architecting Change in Repository Code''' - Debs Cane, Northwestern University & Avalon Media System:
Presentation on how NU & Indiana plans to “breakup” Avalon’s code (streaming A/V repository solution) over the next few months for easier use from outside coders. I'll also discuss why we’ve made the decisions we’ve made; and the choices we need to make in deciding future pathways for Avalon’s technical and community development.

'''Audio Preservation and Automating Transcription''' - Megan Kudzia, Michigan State University:
I have been working on a project to automate transcription for a digitized audio oral history collection. This talk will cover: how I automated transcription; how I got the finished audio files and transcripts into our Islandora digital repository; problems that I'm still trying to figure out solutions for; and what I learned along the way.

'''Batch-loading Electronic Serials Records while Maintaining High Quality Bibliographic Control''' - Jamie Carlstone, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign: I will go over the workflow challenges of batch loading electronic serials MARC records while trying to maintain a high standard of quality. The process requires a circular workflow between OCLC Connexion, MarcEdit, Excel, and Microsoft Access that is far from ideal. I will also discuss a program I am working on that aims to improve upon this process.

'''Evergreen, From the Bottom Up''' - Dan Wells, Calvin College:
We'll explore how Evergreen works from the server side, with particular focus on its unique and powerful underlying framework, OpenSRF.

'''Evergreen, From the Top Down''' - Remington Steed, Calvin College:
We'll start with a brief overview of Evergreen's features, then dig beneath the surface at the software's various client architectures, including the evolution from XUL, to Dojo, to Angular.

'''Building for Browsing and Discovery with Wagtail, an open-source Django CMS''' -
David Bietila & Brad Busenius, University of Chicago Library:
As part our recent website redesign, we sought to build in paths by which users could move laterally between related pages, discovering relevant resources and services without returning to the home page or to the global navigation. We'll present on the data model that we specified to allow these new types of relationships, and on the Wagtail CMS, which enabled us to realize the site that we wanted.

'''Your Rights Statements Are a Disaster''' - amy buckland, University of Chicago
Chances are good the rights statements on your digital projects are some degree of special-snowflakeness that makes them impossible to decipher with an institutional decoder ring. Fix that. RightsStatements.org offers some great licenses that everyone should get on board with to ensure our digital collections are actually usable!

'''Change''' - Ranti Junus and Megan Kudzia, Michigan State University
How do we make our organization|unit|team more accepting of change? How do we overcome preference vs. best practice? How do we know when a change is not the right answer? These are probably questions that we asked when a change is needed. Let's discuss the approach we employed on making change happens, or when we see that our vision of change is not what we think it should be. What works or doesn't for you?

===Lightning Talks===
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:

''' VIAF AutoSuggest''' - Ralph LeVan

''' Getting Close to Accessible Slideshows''' - Margaret Heller

''' A Very Quick & Dirty & Potentially Embarrassing Look at Docker''' - Michael Klein

==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 a 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 Thursday or Friday (or if it doesn't matter)

===Presentations ===
(If you'd like to propose a workshop, talk to us.)

'''Talk Title''' - [Speaker Name]: [Description]

'''VIAF and Elasticsearch''' - Ralph LeVan, OCLC Research:
I'll give an overview of the technology supporting VIAF and our exercise to switch from our home-grown Pears database loading XML records and move to JSON-based Elasticsearch.

'''How not to work during a sabbatical''' - Eric Lease Morgan, University of Notre Dame:
I will outline the set of applications/systems I wrote during my (not a) sabbatical. They include text mining tools, image processing & analysis hacks, MARC data enrichment activities, collection management decision-making scripts, etc.

'''Policies for Data Management''' -Abigail Goben, UIC:
I'll review what might be included in institutional policies and what to think about beyond data security for library data and library research data.

'''Exploring Born-Digital Data and Format Conversion Strategies with DROID and Plotly''' - Max Eckard, Bentley Historical Library:
I recently dug through about 5 years' worth of born-digital archives processed here at the Bentley. This gave me the opportunity to explore not only our born-digital data--and what it *really* looks like--but also the format conversion strategies we employ as part of our Ingest process.

'''Wrapping an Image Server in Proxy and Cache Blankets''' - Graham Hukill, Wayne State University:
Serving images can be a digital object repository's bread and butter, but can touch on logistical and policy complexities. By wrapping the Python based "Loris" image server in a homegrown proxy, and caching with Varnish, we've been able to improve our image delivery, while keeping stakeholders happy as well.

'''Library Gamification in Theory and Practice''' - Ken Irwin, Wittenberg University:
People have been talking for years about bringing gamification ideas into library projects. I will talk about some gamification basics, how I've implemented some of them on one project, and we can discuss other areas in which gamification could be employed.

'''Architecting Change in Repository Code''' - Debs Cane, Northwestern University & Avalon Media System:
Presentation on how NU & Indiana plans to “breakup” Avalon’s code (streaming A/V repository solution) over the next few months for easier use from outside coders. I'll also discuss why we’ve made the decisions we’ve made; and the choices we need to make in deciding future pathways for Avalon’s technical and community development.

'''Audio Preservation and Automating Transcription''' - Megan Kudzia, Michigan State University:
I have been working on a project to automate transcription for a digitized audio oral history collection. This talk will cover: how I automated transcription; how I got the finished audio files and transcripts into our Islandora digital repository; problems that I'm still trying to figure out solutions for; and what I learned along the way.

'''Batch-loading E-Serials Records''' - Jamie Carlstone, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

'''Evergreen, From the Bottom Up''' - Dan Wells, Calvin College:
We'll explore how Evergreen works from the server side, with particular focus on its unique and powerful underlying framework, OpenSRF.

'''Evergreen, From the Top Down''' - Remington Steed, Calvin College:
We'll start with a brief overview of Evergreen's features, then dig beneath the surface at the software's various client architectures, including the evolution from XUL, to Dojo, to Angular.

'''Building for Browsing and Discovery with Wagtail, an open-source Django CMS''' -
David Bietila & Brad Busenius, University of Chicago Library:
As part our recent website redesign, we sought to build in paths by which users could move laterally between related pages, discovering relevant resources and services without returning to the home page or to the global navigation. We'll present on the data model that we specified to allow these new types of relationships, and on the Wagtail CMS, which enabled us to realize the site that we wanted.

'''Your Rights Statements Are a Disaster''' - amy buckland, University of Chicago
Chances are good the rights statements on your digital projects are some degree of special-snowflakeness that makes them impossible to decipher with an institutional decoder ring. Fix that. RightsStatements.org offers some great licenses that everyone should get on board with to ensure our digital collections are actually usable!

'''Change''' - Ranti Junus and Megan Kudzia, Michigan State University
How do we make our organization|unit|team more accepting of change? How do we overcome preference vs. best practice? How do we know when a change is not the right answer? These are probably questions that we asked when a change is needed. Let's discuss the approach we employed on making change happens, or when we see that our vision of change is not what we think it should be. What works or doesn't for you?

===Lightning Talks===
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:

''' VIAF AutoSuggest''' - Ralph LeVan

''' Getting Close to Accessible Slideshows''' - Margaret Heller

==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 a 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 Thursday or Friday (or if it doesn't matter)

===Presentations ===
(If you'd like to propose a workshop, talk to us.)

'''Talk Title''' - [Speaker Name]: [Description]

'''VIAF and Elasticsearch''' - Ralph LeVan, OCLC Research:
I'll give an overview of the technology supporting VIAF and our exercise to switch from our home-grown Pears database loading XML records and move to JSON-based Elasticsearch.

'''How not to work during a sabbatical''' - Eric Lease Morgan, University of Notre Dame:
I will outline the set of applications/systems I wrote during my (not a) sabbatical. They include text mining tools, image processing & analysis hacks, MARC data enrichment activities, collection management decision-making scripts, etc.

'''Policies for Data Management''' -Abigail Goben, UIC:
I'll review what might be included in institutional policies and what to think about beyond data security for library data and library research data.

'''Exploring Born-Digital Data and Format Conversion Strategies with DROID and Plotly''' - Max Eckard, Bentley Historical Library:
I recently dug through about 5 years' worth of born-digital archives processed here at the Bentley. This gave me the opportunity to explore not only our born-digital data--and what it *really* looks like--but also the format conversion strategies we employ as part of our Ingest process.

'''Wrapping an Image Server in Proxy and Cache Blankets''' - Graham Hukill, Wayne State University:
Serving images can be a digital object repository's bread and butter, but can touch on logistical and policy complexities. By wrapping the Python based "Loris" image server in a homegrown proxy, and caching with Varnish, we've been able to improve our image delivery, while keeping stakeholders happy as well.

'''Library Gamification in Theory and Practice''' - Ken Irwin, Wittenberg University:
People have been talking for years about bringing gamification ideas into library projects. I will talk about some gamification basics, how I've implemented some of them on one project, and we can discuss other areas in which gamification could be employed.

'''Architecting Change in Repository Code''' - Debs Cane, Northwestern University & Avalon Media System:
Presentation on how NU & Indiana plans to “breakup” Avalon’s code (streaming A/V repository solution) over the next few months for easier use from outside coders. I'll also discuss why we’ve made the decisions we’ve made; and the choices we need to make in deciding future pathways for Avalon’s technical and community development.

'''Audio Preservation and Automating Transcription''' - Megan Kudzia, Michigan State University:
I have been working on a project to automate transcription for a digitized audio oral history collection. This talk will cover: how I automated transcription; how I got the finished audio files and transcripts into our Islandora digital repository; problems that I'm still trying to figure out solutions for; and what I learned along the way.

'''Batch-loading E-Serials Records''' - Jamie Carlstone, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

'''Evergreen, From the Bottom Up''' - Dan Wells, Calvin College:
We'll explore how Evergreen works from the server side, with particular focus on its unique and powerful underlying framework, OpenSRF.

'''Evergreen, From the Top Down''' - Remington Steed, Calvin College:
We'll start with a brief overview of Evergreen's features, then dig beneath the surface at the software's various client architectures, including the evolution from XUL, to Dojo, to Angular.

'''Building for Browsing and Discovery with Wagtail, an open-source Django CMS''' -
David Bietila & Brad Busenius, University of Chicago Library:
As part our recent website redesign, we sought to build in paths by which users could move laterally between related pages, discovering relevant resources and services without returning to the home page or to the global navigation. We'll present on the data model that we specified to allow these new types of relationships, and on the Wagtail CMS, which enabled us to realize the site that we wanted.

'''Your Rights Statements Are a Disaster''' - amy buckland, University of Chicago
Chances are good the rights statements on your digital projects are some degree of special-snowflakeness that makes them impossible to decipher with an institutional decoder ring. Fix that. RightsStatements.org offers some great licenses that everyone should get on board with to ensure our digital collections are actually usable!

'''Change''' - Ranti Junus and Megan Kudzia, Michigan State University
How do we make our organization|unit|team more accepting of change? How do we overcome preference vs. best practice? How do we know when a change is not the right answer? These are probably questions that we asked when a change is needed. Let's discuss the approach we employed on making change happens, or when we see that our vision of change is not what we think it should be. What works or doesn't for you?

===Lightning Talks===
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:

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 Thursday or Friday (or if it doesn't matter)

===Presentations ===
(If you'd like to propose a workshop, talk to us.)

'''Talk Title''' - [Speaker Name]: [Description]

'''VIAF and Elasticsearch''' - Ralph LeVan, OCLC Research:
I'll give an overview of the technology supporting VIAF and our exercise to switch from our home-grown Pears database loading XML records and move to JSON-based Elasticsearch.

'''How not to work during a sabbatical''' - Eric Lease Morgan, University of Notre Dame:
I will outline the set of applications/systems I wrote during my (not a) sabbatical. They include text mining tools, image processing & analysis hacks, MARC data enrichment activities, collection management decision-making scripts, etc.

'''Policies for Data Management''' -Abigail Goben, UIC:
I'll review what might be included in institutional policies and what to think about beyond data security for library data and library research data.

'''Exploring Born-Digital Data and Format Conversion Strategies with DROID and Plotly''' - Max Eckard, Bentley Historical Library:
I recently dug through about 5 years' worth of born-digital archives processed here at the Bentley. This gave me the opportunity to explore not only our born-digital data--and what it *really* looks like--but also the format conversion strategies we employ as part of our Ingest process.

'''Wrapping an Image Server in Proxy and Cache Blankets''' - Graham Hukill, Wayne State University:
Serving images can be a digital object repository's bread and butter, but can touch on logistical and policy complexities. By wrapping the Python based "Loris" image server in a homegrown proxy, and caching with Varnish, we've been able to improve our image delivery, while keeping stakeholders happy as well.

'''Library Gamification in Theory and Practice''' - Ken Irwin, Wittenberg University:
People have been talking for years about bringing gamification ideas into library projects. I will talk about some gamification basics, how I've implemented some of them on one project, and we can discuss other areas in which gamification could be employed.

'''Architecting Change in Repository Code''' - Debs Cane, Northwestern University & Avalon Media System:
Presentation on how NU & Indiana plans to “breakup” Avalon’s code (streaming A/V repository solution) over the next few months for easier use from outside coders. I'll also discuss why we’ve made the decisions we’ve made; and the choices we need to make in deciding future pathways for Avalon’s technical and community development.

'''Audio Preservation and Automating Transcription''' - Megan Kudzia, Michigan State University:
I have been working on a project to automate transcription for a digitized audio oral history collection. This talk will cover: how I automated transcription; how I got the finished audio files and transcripts into our Islandora digital repository; problems that I'm still trying to figure out solutions for; and what I learned along the way.

'''Batch-loading E-Serials Records''' - Jamie Carlstone, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

'''Evergreen, From the Bottom Up''' - Dan Wells, Calvin College:
We'll explore how Evergreen works from the server side, with particular focus on its unique and powerful underlying framework, OpenSRF.

'''Evergreen, From the Top Down''' - Remington Steed, Calvin College:
We'll start with a brief overview of Evergreen's features, then dig beneath the surface at the software's various client architectures, including the evolution from XUL, to Dojo, to Angular.

'''Building for Browsing and Discovery with Wagtail, an open-source Django CMS''' -
David Bietila & Brad Busenius, University of Chicago Library:
As part our recent website redesign, we sought to build in paths by which users could move laterally between related pages, discovering relevant resources and services without returning to the home page or to the global navigation. We'll present on the data model that we specified to allow these new types of relationships, and on the Wagtail CMS, which enabled us to realize the site that we wanted.

'''Your Rights Statements Are a Disaster''' - amy buckland, University of Chicago
Chances are good the rights statements on your digital projects are some degree of special-snowflakeness that makes them impossible to decipher with an institutional decoder ring. Fix that. RightsStatements.org offers some great licenses that everyone should get on board with to ensure our digital collections are actually usable!

'''Change''' - Ranti Junus and Megan Kudzia, Michigan State University
How do we make our organization|unit|team more accepting of change? How do we overcome preference vs. best practice? How do we know when a change is not the right answer? These are probably questions that we asked when a change is needed. Let's discuss the approach we employed on making change happens, or when we see that our vision of change is not what we think it should be. What works or doesn't for you?

===Lightning Talks===
