+
| style="border:0.0104in solid #cccccc;padding:0in;"|  Equinox Open Library Initiative has successfully implemented Aspen Discovery across a spectrum of libraries, from complex statewide consortia with hundreds of branches to single-location institutions. Learn how we leveraged Equinox’s long-term expertise with open source software to launch support services for Aspen Discovery, specializing in libraries using Evergreen ILS and Koha ILS. Participants will get an inside look at how libraries of varying sizes modernize discovery and how its emerging sustainability framework positions Aspen as a living project evolving alongside changing library services.

+
| style="border:0.0104in solid #cccccc;padding:0in;"| Brian Clark, University of Alabama
+
| style="border:0.0104in solid #cccccc;padding:0in;"| Our office runs and delivers dozens of scheduled reports of data from our ILS in addition to the ad hoc report requests we receive. We developed a process to automate the generation and delivery of the scheduled ILS reports by embedding SQL queries in Python scripts using the Python packages SQLAlchemy and email. The scripts are then added to our ILS server crontab and scheduled to run at specified times, creating a fully automated process. We will describe the process and shows some examples of how we implemented it at our institution. Prerequisites include SSH access to a self-hosted ILS or LSP and Linux crontab or another task scheduler. Template files will be made available for anyone to use and modify to suit their needs.

* Your Name Here - Volunteer
| style="border:0.0104in solid #cccccc;padding:0in;"| Jon Page, NC State Libraries
+
| style="border:0.0104in solid #cccccc;padding:0in;"| Circa is a modern web-based request system that streamlines the management of special collections materials. For almost a decade at NC State Libraries, our homegrown system has efficiently managed requests by centralizing the request creation process, tracking material movement, controlling researcher access, and providing extensive usage data for informed planning and resource allocation.
+
  
Circa seamlessly integrates with ArchivesSpace—allowing for effortless import and updates of container and location data—and connects with local catalogs to access non-ArchivesSpace materials. It supports on-site access, remote duplication requests, and leverages the IIIF specification for high-resolution reproduction requests from digital collections.

== Keynote Committee ==
 +
This group will: gather nominations from Code4Lib community; contact nominees to confirm their willingness and availability; collect bios from the available nominees and add them to the Diebold-o-Tron; support the voting process; work with the community's top nominees to schedule their keynotes; and collaborate with other committees and the community to ensure everything is communicated appropriately and logistical matters are given suitable attention.
  
Over the past year, we've developed a new version of Circa focused on maximizing customization for other institutions. In this talk, we will demonstrate how you can tailor Circa to meet the unique needs of your collection. We are in the midst of open sourcing Version 2 and hope this session will spark conversation and feedback on how our new open source release can best serve the community.
+
From the chair: This committee will start meeting around mid-October and wrap up in mid-January, when we hand off our selected keynoters to Concentra for further logistics. Please ask me (@thatandromeda) in Slack if you have questions about serving on this committee.

* Your Name Here - Volunteer
| style="border:0.0104in solid #cccccc;padding:0in;"| Andrew Battelini and Simon O'Riordan, Emory University
+
| style="border:0.0104in solid #cccccc;padding:0in;"| The Media Preservation team at Emory University has begun experimenting with the Transkribus tool, a digital interpretation tool used to analyze textual documents and provide transcriptions. Transkribus uses an AI approach that incorporates analysis models that users can train to better recognize specific line patterns and text format or handwriting styles. For large collections that use one individual’s handwriting, or a series of geographic-specific items, trainable models can increase the accuracy of the program significantly. We have worked with a small variety of collections using this tool, such as a Civil War collection that has a very large number of handwritten materials from an area with low literacy and askew line patterns, but also containing insightful information. Another example collection is the Maud Gonne and William B. Yeates Correspondence, which provides a unique collection where there is substantial existing transcription and a consistent handwriting style. Our presentation will focus on an introduction to the Transkribus Tool, our experience with “getting up to speed” with it, and a summary of the value we’ve gotten from its use and the various lessons learned should others wish to try it out.

This talk will focus on our digital preservation strategy and provide a technical overview of the application.

This results in simple designs and an uninspired user experience. To improve library websites across the state, NC LIVE, a North Carolina library consortium, created a LibGuides theming application for member libraries. In this talk, we’ll walk through the brief history of the project, reviewing our workflow, technical hurdles and solutions, and future development opportunities.
