<hr />
<div>= PROPOSALS ARE CLOSED : PLEASE DO NOT ADD NEW PRECONFERENCES TO THIS PAGE =<br />
<br />
Proposals were accepted through December 6th, 2013.<br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
<br />
===Note===<br />
Attendance at a pre-conference will require a small fee ''due at the time of conference registration".<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Please put your pre-conference on the list in the following format:<br />
<br />

===Drupal4lib Sub-con Barcamp===<br />
=====Full Day=====<br />
<br />
* Contact [[User:highermath|Cary Gordon]], cgordon@chillco.com<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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).<br />

* Contact [[User:bibliotechy|Chad Nelson]], chadbnelson@gmail.com<br />
<br />
[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<br />
<br />
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. <br />

===Responsive Design Hackfest===<br />
'''"Half-Day [Afternoon]"''' <br />
* Contact Jim Hahn, University of Illinois, jimfhahn@gmail.com<br />
* Contact David Ward, University of Illinois, dh-ward@illinois.edu<br />
<br />
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]. <br />
<br />
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.<br />

<br />
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.<br />
<br />
The schedule may include the following:<br />
<br />
* Case studies. We'll look at some classic failures from the literature: What can we learn from the mistakes of others?<br />
* 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?<br />
* 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?<br />

* Robert Sanderson, azaroth42 (at) gmail.com <br />
* Robert Warren, rwarren (at) math.carleton.ca<br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
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.<br />

===Technology, Librarianship, and Gender: Moving the conversation forward===<br />
'''Full Day'''<br />
<br />
Contact: Lisa Rabey lisa @ biblyotheke dot net | [http://twitter.com/pnkrcklibrarian @pnkrcklibrarian]<br />
<br />
'''Description'''<br />
<br />
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?<br />
<br />
Lots of tough questions.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Topics to include: Fairness, bias, impostor syndrome, code of conducts, sexual harassment, training opportunities, support systems, mentoring, ally support, and more<br />
<br />
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<br />

===FileAnalyzer: Rapid Development of File Manipulation Tasks===<br />
'''"Half-Day" [morning]'''<br />
* Contact Terry Brady, twb27@georgetown.edu<br />
<br />
The FileAnalyzer (https://github.com/Georgetown-University-Libraries/File-Analyzer) is an application designed to solve a number of library automation challenges:<br />
<br />
* validating digitized and reformatted files<br />
* validating vendor statistics for counter compliance<br />
* preparing collections of digital files for archiving and ingest<br />
* manipulating ILS import and export files<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
''Session Overview''<br />
* Overview of the application<br />
* Running sample file tests/transformations through the application<br />
* Compiling and building the application<br />
* Coding a custom file processing task<br />

===Obey the Testing Goat!: Test Driven Web Development From The Ground Up===<br />
'''Half-Day [tbd - probably afternoon]'''<br />
* Contact [[User:Mredar|Mark Redar]], mredar[at]gmail.com<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />

'''When:''' Monday, 2/11, TBD<br />
<br />
'''Contact:''' rosalynmetz at gmail dot com<br />
<br />
'''Class is full.'''<br />
<br />
No this is not a joke. If you haven't heard Rosy is an aspiring trapeze artists and wants to bring the fun to her friends in Code4Lib. There is a trapeze rig in Chicago and she plans on visiting it and hopes that some of you can come along as well. If its your first time taking a trapeze class, they'll start you off learning [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oqPi_zuX7A a knee hang] and depending on how that goes you might be able to catch it at the end of class. If you have any questions about whether or not this is for you, [http://chicago.trapezeschool.com/classes/trapeze.php TSNY Chicago's website] should have the answer, if not feel free to contact Rosy.<br />
<br />
Trapeze classes are $57, last 2 hours, and are limited to 10 people. Currently TSNY Chicago hasn't release their class schedule for February -- they should be doing that around Jan. 1. If we can get enough people interested before then, we can buy out a whole class. If not it'll be first come, first serve (along with the general public).<br />

=== Game Night! ===<br />
<br />
Moved this from idea to an actual event. Still getting some details, but here's what we know:<br />
<br />
Game Night! Type of games might vary due to interest and what people bring. Looks like interest right now is mostly on light to mediumish games with a dash of abstracts ;). <br />
<br />
<br />
We have a conference room at the UIC library (Richard J. Daley Library MC 234, 801 S. Morgan, Chicago) reserved for 7:30 on Tuesday the 11th. I'll try to show up at the lobby and hang out there for at about 7:15. I'll be the guy with a code4lib nametag and a box of games ;). Not sure how late we'll play, it looks like the library is open till 1:00am, but I suspect I will for now put a rough ending time of 11pm. <br />
<br />
(Note, there's also some discussion on Cards Against Humanity. I will try to make sure there's an alternative game, but I don't know if I want to prohibit any games. I would say though to remember to be respectful and courteous to those around you. I will probably be pondering this issue for a while)<br />
<br />
I (Jon Gorman) will bring some board games and pick up some cards. Add your name to the list below if you're interested can bring games. Bringing games is NOT REQUIRED. If you can bring a game you can teach, that's great and will make sure we're not just stuck playing the games I bring.<br />
<br />
(I've added some comments to the game lists below)<br />
* jtgorman, aka Jon Gorman: I'll bring Time's Up: Total Recall, Tsuro, Hey, That's My Fish, Hive, and some more I haven't decided on yet. (My profile over at http://www.boardgamegeek.com/ is jtgorman as well if you want to browse my games and make requests)<br />
* yo_bj: I have some games I can bring as well (Kill Doctor Lucky, Fluxx, Godzilla: Stomp, Munchkin Zombies, etc.). Monday doesn't have anything major planned... <br />
*danwho: I 'll bring the Cards Against Humanity set.<br />
*escowles (Mon/Tue preferred): I've got lots of games I could bring like Settlers of Catan, Carcassonne, Ticket to Ride, Age of Renaissance, Elfenland, Agricola, Le Havre, Smallworld, RoboRally, etc. etc. <br />
** Take your pick! All good games. I'll try to finalize my list of games before Friday - JonG <br />
*jen_young: I'm local and I have quite a few games. Just about every version of Fluxx, Bananagrams, Gloom, Munchkin Cthulu,Cards Against Humanity, Apples to Apples, Risk, Last Night on Earth, etc.) <br />
**All good games! If you don't mind bringing a box that would be awesome. I particularly like Apples to Apples, Last Night on Earth and Gloom - JonG<br />
* decasm: Interested in Go (aka igo, weiqi, baduk) anytime, not just game night. I can do Catan as well. (And as much as I love it, Cards Against Humanity is probably a violation of the new Code of Conduct.) <br />
** I look forward to losing my first game of Go to you ;) - JonG<br />
** I'd love to learn Go. <del>Perhaps after the newcomer dinner?</del> Oof... won't make for Tues. But would still be interested to learn. --ranti.<br />
* csharp: I'm interested in playing games - whatever people bring. I almost always travel with a pack or two of playing cards ;-). Monday or Tuesday nights are fine.<br />
* moneill: I would love to join in! I have a version of Catchphrase floating around somewhere, and I think I have Battleship...I need to go weed around in that drawer and see what else presents itself. Tuesday would be my preferred night, but I will make it work! <br />
** Don't worry too much about bringing a game if transportation is a problem. One thing I've done w/ stuff like catchphrase is not take the box but to put pieces and cards in a bag - JOn G<br />
* demiankatz: I'm always up for a game. I'm hoping to travel light so probably shouldn't bring anything, but if there's a local game shop, I might be persuaded to pick up something new as a souvenir. <br />
** Don't worry, I think there will be plenty of games - JonG<br />
* sekjal: I've got [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/36218/dominion Dominion], [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/68448/7-wonders 7 Wonders], [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/30933/bang-the-bullet Bang!], [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/18333/ecofluxx EcoFluxx] and [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/116/guillotine Guillotine] that I can bring. ++ on Cards against Humanity! Prefer non-conflict with beer night. <br />
** Also all good games. I have 7 Wonders, but can bring some other games if you bring that. - Jon G<br />
* arty: so totally interested. Unfortunately, I have no games to contribute.<br />
** No prob.<br />
* sanderson: I would be interested. I can bring [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/478/citadels Citadels] (2-7 players)<br />
** Citadels would be awesome and means I don't have to bring it ;) - JonG<br />
* dvdndrsn: Definitely in! Can bring Innovation, Tichu, Dominion, but Cards Against Humanity sounds good. <br />
** I'll put in a vote for Tichu, heard good things about it - Jon G <br />
* smkiewel: I'm likely to join. Can bring Arkham Horror and Munchkin.<br />
** Arkham Horror seems rather bulky to travel with, but if you want to play bring it ;) - Jon G<br />
* jkwilson: I'd like to attend Monday or Tuesday. I have a bunch of games but I'd prefer not to travel with them, and anyway it sounds like they're covered above. I'll bring the 5-6 player Catan extension.<br />
* ejlynema: Interested, but will probably attend Newcomer dinner on Tuesday. Like Dominion and 7 Wonders, but probably don't have room to bring in suitcase. Anyone bringing Tsuro? <br />
** I can bring Tsuro - Jon G<br />
* Christie Peterson (save4use): Also interested, but also probably attending newcomer dinner on Tuesday. Can bring [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/11/bohnanza Bohnanza] and one deck of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_%28game%29 Set]. <br />
**Bohnanza and Set would be awesome - JonG<br />
* dgcliff: I'd be interested. Can bring Ticket to Ride.<br />
* mbklein: definitely interested. Will check on my (currently unpacked) games. I am dying to play Cards Against Humanity. If we can't find a way to reconcile it with the Code of Conduct, we need a different Code of Conduct.<br />
** Considering that this is a public event, and that no one knows everyone's sensitivity levels in the room, it might not be a good idea to break out a crass, adult version of apples to apples in the middle of the gaming room. :cP (yo_bj)<br />
* duspal: In. My board game collection is small but mighty (Arkham Horror, Catan, Vampire: Prince of the City, Deadlands: Battle for Slaughter Gulch, Arabian Nights, Diplomacy, Shogun, and Cosmic Encounter off the top of my head, amongst a few others). Let me know ahead of time if anyone is interested, since they're all relatively big... <br />
** If you really want to play Cosmic Encounter, I can bring my copy (Fantasy Flight edition, 3 expansions), just let me know - JonG<br />
*librarywebchic: I'm willing to bring a set and teach folks how to play Majhong. Need at least three to play though.<br />
**beatricep: Uno gets no respect. ;-) @librarywebchic: I have always wanted to learn to play Majhong. If you're still bringing it, I'm in!<br />
** Agreed, I don't know Majhong and I love learning new games. - JonG<br />
** I actually know a few different rule sets. It's too bad I don't have a travel set or I'd bring a 2nd one -Arty<br />
** I'm local and can bring a mahjong set. I've had no one to play with for years, so have probably forgotten how. -Linda B<br />
* jcraitz: I'm in after the newcomer dinner. I'll bring Citadels and Bang! <br />
**I think someone higher in the list offered to bring citadels, but won't hurt to have two copies just in case one of you don't show ;) - JonG<br />
* julia: I'll be the freeloader who showed up and didn't bring any games.<br />
* kenirwin: interested in attending<br />
* sdellis: attending<br />
* ianc: interested in attending, a little rusty but definitely up for a couple rounds of Mahjong, also want to try something new too!<br />
* haschart: Interested in attending, if I can make it work with the newcomer dinner. Big fan of Dominion lately, but probably cannot bring it `cause the "Big Box" with the base game and two expansion sets is bigger than my suitcase. I could bring "Race for the Galaxy" if there's any interest.<br />
<br />
I have to confess, I started trying to organize what games certain people were bringing, but it got confusing fast and I don't want anyone to feel compelled to bring anything or feel bad if they can't make it. So if there is something you're dying to play, let me know and I'll try to bring it if I have it.<br />

== Layar: augmented reality Code4Lib view of Chicago ==<br />
<br />
There's a "Code4Lib 2013" layer in [http://www.layar.com/ Layar], an augmented reality app that runs on both Android and iOS. You can use it to scan around the city to see two kinds of things: 1) tweets using the #c4l13 or #code4lib hashtag (if the tweets are geolocated so they can be<br />
nailed to a point) and 2) points of interest from the [https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=213549257652679418473.0004ce6c25e6cdeb0319d&msa=0 shared Google Map]. <br />
<br />
To use it:<br />
<br />
* install Layar on your phone<br />
* run it and click to go into Geo Layers mode<br />
* search for "code4lib 2013"<br />
* launch the layer and look around<br />
<br />
See Code4Lib people and events overlaid on top of Chicago, in real time! See an alternate view of the city that's all about libraries and coders!<br />
<br />
To make your own tweets appear, use the #c4l13 hashtag and make sure the tweet is geolocated. In Twitter's client you need to do this by enabling geolocation in settings and then enabling it for each tweet.<br />

'''''Directions: '''''<br />
The Newberry is at 60 W Walton St. It could take half an hour to get there from the conference hotel via CTA, so those of you who wish to take public transit as a group can meet me in the hotel lobby by 3:00. We will then go to the UIC-Halsted El stop (5 blocks from hotel), change trains in the Loop, then walk 3-4 blocks to the Newberry. Otherwise, plan on making your preferred way there and meet in the Newberry lobby by 3:30.<br />

===Intro to NoSQL Databases===<br />
* Joshua Gomez, George Washington University, jngomez at gwu edu<br />
<br />
Since Google published its paper on BigTable in 2006, alternatives to the traditional relational database model have been growing in both variety and popularity. These new databases (often referred to as NoSQL databases) excel at handling problems faced by modern information systems that the traditional relational model cannot. They are particularly popular among organizations tackling the so-called "Big Data" problems. However, there are always tradeoffs involved when making such dramatic changes. Understanding how these different kinds of databases are designed and what they can offer is essential to the decision making process. In this precon I will discuss some of the various types of new databases (key-value, columnar, document, graph) and walk through examples or exercises using some of their open source implementations like Riak, HBase, CouchDB, and Neo4j.<br />

==Half Day Afternoon==<br />
=== Data Visualization Hackfest ===<br />
* Chris Beer, cabeer at stanford.edu<br />
* Dan Chudnov, dchud at gwu edu<br />
<br />
* Description: Want to hack/design/plan/document on a team of people who enjoy learning by creating? Interested in data visualization? Well, this hackfest is for you. Not familiar with the concept of a hackfest? See Roy Tennant's [http://www.libraryjournal.com/article/CA332564.html "Where Librarians Go To Hack"] and the page for the [http://access2010.lib.umanitoba.ca/node/3.html Access 2010 Hackfest]. We propose a half-day hackfest with a focus on visualization library data -- think stuff like library catalog data, access/circulation statistics, etc. Here's how it works, roughly: <br />
- we'll (you'll!) do lightning tutorials for some data visualization tools, toolkits (R? d3js? ?), datasets.<br />
- we'll separate into groups and hack on stuff.<br />
- at the end of the day, we'll present our progress.<br />
<br />
Not a code hacker? No worries; all skill sets and backgrounds are valuable! <br />

Hydra (http://projecthydra.org) is a free and open source repository solution that is being used by institutions on both sides of the North Atlantic to provide access to their digital content. Hydra provides a versatile and feature rich environment for end-users and repository administrators alike. Leveraging Blacklight as its front end discovery interface, the hydra project provides a suite of software components, data models, and design patterns for building a robust and sustainable digital repository, as well as a community of support for ongoing development. This workshop will provide an introduction to the hydra project and its software components. Attendees will leave with enough knowledge to get started building their own local repository solutions. This workshop will be led by Adam Wead of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. <br />

Blacklight (http://projectblacklight.org) is a free and open source discovery interface built on solr and ruby on rails. It is used by institutions such as Stanford University, NC State, WGBH, Johns Hopkins University, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and an ever expanding community of adopters and contributors. Blacklight can be used as a front-end discovery solution for an ILS, or the contents of a digital repository, or to provide a unified discovery solution for many siloed collections. In this workshop we will cover the basics of solr indexing and searching, setting up and customizing Blacklight, and leave time for Q&A around local issues people might encounter. <br />
<br />
Note: this workshop will be tailored as a follow-on to the morning's RailsBridge Intro to Ruby on Rails workshop, but everyone is welcome<br />

=== Fail4lib ===<br />
* Jason Casden, NCSU Libraries (jmcasden at ncsu.edu)<br />
* Andreas Orphanides, NCSU Libraries (akorphan at ncsu.edu)<br />
<br />
The Code4lib community is full of driven people who embrace the risks that are often associated with new projects. While these traits lead to the incredible projects that are presented at Code4lib, creative technical work also often leads to unexpected, vexing, or disappointing results even from eventually successful projects (however you define the term). Learning more about how our colleagues deal with failure in various contexts could lead to the development of better methods for communicating the value of productive failure, modifying project plans ("The Pivot"), and failing more cheaply.<br />
<br />
Hopefully we can define the format as a group, but a fairly high level of participation is crucial if this is to be a worthwhile preconference. Some possible agenda items that could be mixed and matched to fill the afternoon:<br />
<br />
# Given willing presenters, a series of 10-20 minute presentations that go into some depth about specific failures.<br />
# Depending on the number of participants, either a multi- or single-track series of unconference-like themed discussions on various aspects of failure, possibly including themes like:<br />
#* Technical failure<br />
#* Failure to effectively address a real user need<br />
#* Overinvestment<br />
#* Outreach/Promotion failure<br />
#* Design/UX failure<br />
#* Project team communication failure<br />
#* Missed opportunities (risk-averse failure)<br />
#* Successes gleaned from failures<br />
# A panel of participants who have prepared in advance to answer moderator and audience questions about their experience with failure.<br />
# A prepared reading assignment that we could all forget to read, creating a shared fail in order to start the preconference on the right foot.<br />
<br />
I'll serve as a moderator (if needed) and participant and would welcome more organizers. I am happy to be outvoted by participants on any of these points--I just want to get us talking about our screw-ups, blind spots, and anvils dropping from the sky.<br />

* Contact: Erik Hatcher (erik.hatcher at lucidworks.com)<br />
<br />
The long awaited and much anticipated Solr 4 has been released! It's a really big deal. There are so many improvements, it makes the head spin. This session will cover the major feature improvements from Lucene's flexible indexing and scoring API up through SolrCloud in a digestable half-day format. Sounds like this is an evening thing that might happen at a bar somewhere?<br />

===Intro to NoSQL Databases===<br />
* Joshua Gomez, George Washington University, jngomez at gwu edu<br />
<br />
Since Google published its paper on BigTable in 2006, alternatives to the traditional relational database model have been growing in both variety and popularity. These new databases (often referred to as NoSQL databases) excel at handling problems faced by modern information systems that the traditional relational model cannot. They are particularly popular among organizations tackling the so-called "Big Data" problems. However, there are always tradeoffs involved when making such dramatic changes. Understanding how these different kinds of databases are designed and what they can offer is essential to the decision making process. In this precon I will discuss some of the various types of new databases (key-value, columnar, document, graph) and walk through examples or exercises using some of their open source implementations like Riak, HBase, CouchDB, and Neo4j.<br />

==Half Day Afternoon==<br />
=== Data Visualization Hackfest ===<br />
* Chris Beer, cabeer at stanford.edu<br />
* Dan Chudnov, dchud at gwu edu<br />
<br />
* Description: Want to hack/design/plan/document on a team of people who enjoy learning by creating? Interested in data visualization? Well, this hackfest is for you. Not familiar with the concept of a hackfest? See Roy Tennant's [http://www.libraryjournal.com/article/CA332564.html "Where Librarians Go To Hack"] and the page for the [http://access2010.lib.umanitoba.ca/node/3.html Access 2010 Hackfest]. We propose a half-day hackfest with a focus on visualization library data -- think stuff like library catalog data, access/circulation statistics, etc. Here's how it works, roughly: <br />
- we'll (you'll!) do lightning tutorials for some data visualization tools, toolkits (R? d3js? ?), datasets.<br />
- we'll separate into groups and hack on stuff.<br />
- at the end of the day, we'll present our progress.<br />
<br />
Not a code hacker? No worries; all skill sets and backgrounds are valuable! <br />

Hydra (http://projecthydra.org) is a free and open source repository solution that is being used by institutions on both sides of the North Atlantic to provide access to their digital content. Hydra provides a versatile and feature rich environment for end-users and repository administrators alike. Leveraging Blacklight as its front end discovery interface, the hydra project provides a suite of software components, data models, and design patterns for building a robust and sustainable digital repository, as well as a community of support for ongoing development. This workshop will provide an introduction to the hydra project and its software components. Attendees will leave with enough knowledge to get started building their own local repository solutions. This workshop will be led by Adam Wead of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. <br />

Blacklight (http://projectblacklight.org) is a free and open source discovery interface built on solr and ruby on rails. It is used by institutions such as Stanford University, NC State, WGBH, Johns Hopkins University, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and an ever expanding community of adopters and contributors. Blacklight can be used as a front-end discovery solution for an ILS, or the contents of a digital repository, or to provide a unified discovery solution for many siloed collections. In this workshop we will cover the basics of solr indexing and searching, setting up and customizing Blacklight, and leave time for Q&A around local issues people might encounter. <br />
<br />
Note: this workshop will be tailored as a follow-on to the morning's RailsBridge Intro to Ruby on Rails workshop, but everyone is welcome<br />

<br />
* Presenter(s)/Leader(s): TBD<br />
* Guy Who'd Be Interested in Helping: Jay Luker, Smithsonian Astrophysics Data System (jluker at cfa.harvard.edu)<br />
<br />
This is a stub proposal entered solely to beat the submission deadline. I think there's be sufficient interest in this session, but only thought of it yesterday and haven't had time to coordinate with actual DPLA'ers and confirm that any of them are definitely coming.<br />

=== Fail4lib ===<br />
* Jason Casden, NCSU Libraries (jmcasden at ncsu.edu)<br />
* Andreas Orphanides, NCSU Libraries (akorphan at ncsu.edu)<br />
<br />
The Code4lib community is full of driven people who embrace the risks that are often associated with new projects. While these traits lead to the incredible projects that are presented at Code4lib, creative technical work also often leads to unexpected, vexing, or disappointing results even from eventually successful projects (however you define the term). Learning more about how our colleagues deal with failure in various contexts could lead to the development of better methods for communicating the value of productive failure, modifying project plans ("The Pivot"), and failing more cheaply.<br />
<br />
Hopefully we can define the format as a group, but a fairly high level of participation is crucial if this is to be a worthwhile preconference. Some possible agenda items that could be mixed and matched to fill the afternoon:<br />
<br />
# Given willing presenters, a series of 10-20 minute presentations that go into some depth about specific failures.<br />
# Depending on the number of participants, either a multi- or single-track series of unconference-like themed discussions on various aspects of failure, possibly including themes like:<br />
#* Technical failure<br />
#* Failure to effectively address a real user need<br />
#* Overinvestment<br />
#* Outreach/Promotion failure<br />
#* Design/UX failure<br />
#* Project team communication failure<br />
#* Missed opportunities (risk-averse failure)<br />
#* Successes gleaned from failures<br />
# A panel of participants who have prepared in advance to answer moderator and audience questions about their experience with failure.<br />
# A prepared reading assignment that we could all forget to read, creating a shared fail in order to start the preconference on the right foot.<br />
<br />
I'll serve as a moderator (if needed) and participant and would welcome more organizers. I am happy to be outvoted by participants on any of these points--I just want to get us talking about our screw-ups, blind spots, and anvils dropping from the sky.<br />

=== Solr 4 In Depth ===<br />
* Contact: Erik Hatcher (erik.hatcher at lucidworks.com)<br />
<br />
The long awaited and much anticipated Solr 4 has been released! It's a really big deal. There are so many improvements, it makes the head spin. This session will cover the major feature improvements from Lucene's flexible indexing and scoring API up through SolrCloud in a digestable half-day format. Sounds like this is an evening thing that might happen at a bar somewhere?<br />
