<br />
=== Call for Presenters ===<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Please list your proposed topic below:<br />
<br />
*Name, Title, Topic<br />
<br />
* 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.<br />
<br />
* 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.<br />
<br />
* 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.<br />
<br />
* Matthew Reidsma (Web Services Librarian, Grand Valley State University) - "Using jQuery to style hosted library services." Every library struggles to provide some sort of unified experience for its users, despite using hosted solutions for many of its resources. Getting these varied sites designed by countless different vendors to look like part of your library's site can be a challenge. I've found great success in combating the lackluster HTML and CSS of library vendors by using jQuery to make the page I want, rather than the page I have. I'll show some examples of projects I've completed as well as the Open Source projects they have spawned (360Link Reset, hasMedia?).<br />
<br />
* Rich Wolf (UIC ACCC) - REST Easy: From Web Service to iOS App In this talk, we'll look at how a RESTful service can be turned into a native iOS app by creating a real live sample application, step by step. Along the way, we'll explore Xcode, Apple's IDE for developing iOS apps, Objective-C, and Interface Builder. We'll also look at open source tools, such as Two Toasters RESTKit, that make consuming REST services on an iOS device much simpler to implement.<br />
<br />
*Jeremy Prevost (Northwestern, Galter Health Sciences Library) jQuery Mobile.<br />
<br />
*Christine McClure (IIT) working with jQuery Mobile (Short and off-the-cuff, since I just heard about this conference last week)<br />
<br />
*Bob Sandusky - [DataONE http://www.dataone.org/]<br />
<br />
=== Hackfest topics ===<br />
<br />
Got a problem that coders can solve? We will set aside time for a hackfest -- post your issues now.<br />
<br />
* Anyone interested in taking XTF apart<br />
<br />
* What are you doing with usability?<br />

* 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.<br />
<br />
* 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.<br />
<br />
* 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.<br />
<br />
* Matthew Reidsma (Web Services Librarian, Grand Valley State University) - "Using jQuery to style hosted library services." Every library struggles to provide some sort of unified experience for its users, despite using hosted solutions for many of its resources. Getting these varied sites designed by countless different vendors to look like part of your library's site can be a challenge. I've found great success in combating the lackluster HTML and CSS of library vendors by using jQuery to make the page I want, rather than the page I have. I'll show some examples of projects I've completed as well as the Open Source projects they have spawned (360Link Reset, hasMedia?).<br />
<br />
* Rich Wolf (UIC ACCC) - REST Easy: From Web Service to iOS App In this talk, we'll look at how a RESTful service can be turned into a native iOS app by creating a real live sample application, step by step. Along the way, we'll explore Xcode, Apple's IDE for developing iOS apps, Objective-C, and Interface Builder. We'll also look at open source tools, such as Two Toasters RESTKit, that make consuming REST services on an iOS device much simpler to implement.<br />
<br />
*Jeremy Prevost (Northwestern, Galter Health Sciences Library) jQuery Mobile.<br />
<br />
*Christine McClure (IIT) working with jQuery Mobile (Short and off-the-cuff, since I just heard about this conference last week)<br />

*July 28-29, 2011<br />
Both days will be held at the University of Illinois-Chicago<br />
We will be at the Daley Library.<br />
<br />
=== Call for Presenters ===<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Please list your proposed topic below:<br />
<br />
*Name, Title, Topic<br />
<br />
* 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.<br />
<br />
* 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.<br />
<br />
* 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.<br />
<br />
* Matthew Reidsma (Web Services Librarian, Grand Valley State University) - "Using jQuery to style hosted library services." Every library struggles to provide some sort of unified experience for its users, despite using hosted solutions for many of its resources. Getting these varied sites designed by countless different vendors to look like part of your library's site can be a challenge. I've found great success in combating the lackluster HTML and CSS of library vendors by using jQuery to make the page I want, rather than the page I have. I'll show some examples of projects I've completed as well as the Open Source projects they have spawned (360Link Reset, hasMedia?).<br />
<br />
* Rich Wolf (UIC ACCC) - REST Easy: From Web Service to iOS App In this talk, we'll look at how a RESTful service can be turned into a native iOS app by creating a real live sample application, step by step. Along the way, we'll explore Xcode, Apple's IDE for developing iOS apps, Objective-C, and Interface Builder. We'll also look at open source tools, such as Two Toasters RESTKit, that make consuming REST services on an iOS device much simpler to implement.<br />
<br />

<br />
*July 28-29, 2011<br />
Both days will be held at the University of Illinois-Chicago<br />
We will be at the Daley Library.<br />
<br />
=== Call for Presenters ===<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Please list your proposed topic below:<br />
<br />
*Name, Title, Topic<br />
<br />
* 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.<br />
<br />
* 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.<br />
<br />
* 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.<br />
<br />
* Matthew Reidsma (Web Services Librarian, Grand Valley State University) - "Using jQuery to style hosted library services." Every library struggles to provide some sort of unified experience for its users, despite using hosted solutions for many of its resources. Getting these varied sites designed by countless different vendors to look like part of your library's site can be a challenge. I've found great success in combating the lackluster HTML and CSS of library vendors by using jQuery to make the page I want, rather than the page I have. I'll show some examples of projects I've completed as well as the Open Source projects they have spawned (360Link Reset, hasMedia?).<br />
<br />
* Rich Wolf (UIC ACCC) - REST Easy: From Web Service to iOS App In this talk, we'll look at how a RESTful service can be turned into a native iOS app by creating a real live sample application, step by step. Along the way, we'll explore Xcode, Apple's IDE for developing iOS apps, Objective-C, and Interface Builder. We'll also look at open source tools, such as Two Toasters RESTKit, that make consuming REST services on an iOS device much simpler to implement.<br />
<br />

<br />
=== Summary ===<br />
<br />
The Inaugural Code4Lib "Midwest" Regional Meeting (June 11 & 12, 2010 at the University of Notre Dame) was a qualified success.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
We began with Lightning Talks:<br />
<br />
* ePub files by Michael Kreyche<br />
* FRBR and MARC data by Kelly McGrath<br />
* Great Books by Eric Lease Morgan<br />
* jQuery and the OPAC by Ken Irwin<br />
* Notre Dame and the Big Ten by Michael Witt<br />
* Solr & Drupal by Rob Casson<br />
* Subject headings via a Web Service by Michael Kreyche<br />
* Taverna by Rick Johnson and Banu Lakshminarayanan<br />
* VUFind on a hard disk by Julia Bauder<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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".<br />
<br />
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.</div>AbigailGobenhttps://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php?title=2013_Code4Lib_Midwest_Conference&diff=90812013 Code4Lib Midwest Conference2011-07-13T21:36:44Z<p>AbigailGoben: /* 2011 Code4Lib Midwest Meeting */</p>

=== Basics ===<br />
<br />
*July 28-29, 2011<br />
Both days will be held at the University of Illinois-Chicago<br />
We will be at the Daley Library.<br />
<br />
=== Call for Presenters ===<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Please list your proposed topic below:<br />
<br />
*Name, Title, Topic<br />
<br />
* 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.<br />
<br />
* 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.<br />
<br />
* 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.<br />
<br />
* Matthew Reidsma (Web Services Librarian, Grand Valley State University) - "Using jQuery to style hosted library services." Every library struggles to provide some sort of unified experience for its users, despite using hosted solutions for many of its resources. Getting these varied sites designed by countless different vendors to look like part of your library's site can be a challenge. I've found great success in combating the lackluster HTML and CSS of library vendors by using jQuery to make the page I want, rather than the page I have. I'll show some examples of projects I've completed as well as the Open Source projects they have spawned (360Link Reset, hasMedia?).<br />
<br />
* Rich Wolf (UIC ACCC) - REST Easy: From Web Service to iOS App In this talk, we'll look at how a RESTful service can be turned into a native iOS app by creating a real live sample application, step by step. Along the way, we'll explore Xcode, Apple's IDE for developing iOS apps, Objective-C, and Interface Builder. We'll also look at open source tools, such as Two Toasters RESTKit, that make consuming REST services on an iOS device much simpler to implement.<br />
<br />
=== Hackfest topics ===<br />
<br />
Got a problem that coders can solve? We will set aside time for a hackfest -- post your issues now.<br />

<br />
=== Summary ===<br />
<br />
The Inaugural Code4Lib "Midwest" Regional Meeting (June 11 & 12, 2010 at the University of Notre Dame) was a qualified success.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
We began with Lightning Talks:<br />
<br />
* ePub files by Michael Kreyche<br />
* FRBR and MARC data by Kelly McGrath<br />
* Great Books by Eric Lease Morgan<br />
* jQuery and the OPAC by Ken Irwin<br />
* Notre Dame and the Big Ten by Michael Witt<br />
* Solr & Drupal by Rob Casson<br />
* Subject headings via a Web Service by Michael Kreyche<br />
* Taverna by Rick Johnson and Banu Lakshminarayanan<br />
* VUFind on a hard disk by Julia Bauder<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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".<br />
<br />
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.</div>AbigailGobenhttps://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php?title=2013_Code4Lib_Midwest_Conference&diff=90792013 Code4Lib Midwest Conference2011-07-13T21:33:38Z<p>AbigailGoben: /* 2011 Code4Lib Midwest Meeting */</p>

=== Basics ===<br />
<br />
*July 28-29, 2011<br />
Both days will be held at the University of Illinois-Chicago<br />
We will be at the Daley Library.<br />
<br />
=== Call for Presenters ===<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Please list your proposed topic below:<br />
<br />
*Name, Title, Topic<br />
<br />
* 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.<br />
<br />
* 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.<br />
<br />
* 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.<br />
<br />
* Matthew Reidsma (Web Services Librarian, Grand Valley State University) - "Using jQuery to style hosted library services." Every library struggles to provide some sort of unified experience for its users, despite using hosted solutions for many of its resources. Getting these varied sites designed by countless different vendors to look like part of your library's site can be a challenge. I've found great success in combating the lackluster HTML and CSS of library vendors by using jQuery to make the page I want, rather than the page I have. I'll show some examples of projects I've completed as well as the Open Source projects they have spawned (360Link Reset, hasMedia?).<br />
<br />
* Rich Wolf (UIC ACCC) - REST Easy: From Web Service to iOS App In this talk, we'll look at how a RESTful service can be turned into a native iOS app by creating a real live sample application, step by step. Along the way, we'll explore Xcode, Apple's IDE for developing iOS apps, Objective-C, and Interface Builder. We'll also look at open source tools, such as Two Toasters RESTKit, that make consuming REST services on an iOS device much simpler to implement.<br />

<br />
=== Summary ===<br />
<br />
The Inaugural Code4Lib "Midwest" Regional Meeting (June 11 & 12, 2010 at the University of Notre Dame) was a qualified success.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
We began with Lightning Talks:<br />
<br />
* ePub files by Michael Kreyche<br />
* FRBR and MARC data by Kelly McGrath<br />
* Great Books by Eric Lease Morgan<br />
* jQuery and the OPAC by Ken Irwin<br />
* Notre Dame and the Big Ten by Michael Witt<br />
* Solr & Drupal by Rob Casson<br />
* Subject headings via a Web Service by Michael Kreyche<br />
* Taverna by Rick Johnson and Banu Lakshminarayanan<br />
* VUFind on a hard disk by Julia Bauder<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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".<br />
<br />
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.</div>AbigailGobenhttps://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php?title=2013_Code4Lib_Midwest_Conference&diff=89572013 Code4Lib Midwest Conference2011-07-01T16:26:14Z<p>AbigailGoben: /* Basics */</p>

=== Summary ===<br />
<br />
The Inaugural Code4Lib "Midwest" Regional Meeting (June 11 & 12, 2010 at the University of Notre Dame) was a qualified success.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
We began with Lightning Talks:<br />
<br />
* ePub files by Michael Kreyche<br />
* FRBR and MARC data by Kelly McGrath<br />
* Great Books by Eric Lease Morgan<br />
* jQuery and the OPAC by Ken Irwin<br />
* Notre Dame and the Big Ten by Michael Witt<br />
* Solr & Drupal by Rob Casson<br />
* Subject headings via a Web Service by Michael Kreyche<br />
* Taverna by Rick Johnson and Banu Lakshminarayanan<br />
* VUFind on a hard disk by Julia Bauder<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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".<br />
<br />
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.</div>AbigailGoben
