−	*Name, Title, Topic	+	===Lightning Talks===
−	* 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.	+	A Lightning Talk is a fast-paced, 5-minute talk on the topic of your choosing. You don’t need to make slides, but if you do, you only have time for a handful. If you're nervous about speaking in front of a crowd, don't worry! It'll be over quickly. It’s best to keep it focused, and try not to pack a 20-minute presentation into 5 minutes.
−	* 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.	+	Topics might include:
−	* 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.	+	*Let me tell you about my favorite piece of tech and why I love it
		+	*I want to do cool project X. Anyone want to help me?
		+	*I did this successful project. Here’s what I learned, and how you might benefit.
		+	*I did this unsuccessful project. Here’s what I learned, and how you might benefit.
		+	*I have a bone to pick about this thing.
		+	*I wish we would do more/less of X.

Code4Lib Midwest 2013

Please join us Sunday, October 13, and Monday, October 14, in Iowa City for the Code4Lib Midwest 2013 conference! This informal conference will feature short lightning talks, longer presentations, workshops, and breakout discussion sessions covering technology in libraries, archives and museums in the Midwest. Each Code4Lib conference is different; take a look through the main Code4Lib Wiki to learn more about this volunteer-driven collective.

• Twitter hash tag: #c4lmw

Location

Code4Lib MidWest meeting will be hosted by University of Iowa Libraries.

• When - Sunday, October 13th - Monday, October 14th
• Where - John Pappajohn Business Building, University of Iowa, Room W401. The elevator to the room is on the West wing of the building, on the West side of the atrium (to the left of the giant portrait of Henry Tippie).
• Registration Cost - Free!
• Planning Committee - Emily Shaw (emily-f-shaw@uiowa.edu), Shawn Averkamp (shawn-averkamp@uiowa.edu), Becky Yoose(YOOSEBEC@grinnell.edu), Julia Bauder (BAUDERJ@grinnell.edu), Wendy Robertson (wendy-robertson@uiowa.edu), Matthew Butler (matthew-butler@uiowa.edu)

Logistics

• MAP of Iowa City Restaurants, Attractions, and Conference-Related Locations
  • We've plotted our favorites, but we probably missed some of yours. Contribute to our editable google map!
• Lodging
  • We have blocked off rooms for 10/13 & 10/14 at the Sheraton Iowa City as the official hotel. The group name is "Code4Lib". You can either call and let them know you're part of this group, or book online through this event registration page. These rooms are available at a discounted rate ($99/night, wifi included), and are held on a first come first served basis. Reservations must be booked by September 14, 2013 or the rooms will be released back to the public. It's a pretty nice hotel, and a pleasant, easy walk through downtown Iowa City to the room where we'll be meeting. The Sheraton has an attached parking garage; ask about parking when you call to reserve a room.

• Transportation
  • Bus - Greyhound, Megabus (routes to Iowa City from Chicago, Omaha, Des Moines)
  • Air - Eastern Iowa Airport(CID, in Cedar Rapids) is the closest airport (22 miles); Cedar Rapids Airport Shuttle can get you to and from the airport (reserve in advance). Quad City International Airport (MLI) is 66 miles away, but flights are often cheaper; unfortunately, a shuttle or taxi to/from there might cost you almost as much as your flight.
  • Driving - Iowa City is off of I-80, which every Midwesterner should know how to get to :) There are several public parking structures around campus, in easy walking distance to both the Sheraton (conference hotel) and Pappajohn Business Building (meeting room).

Code of Conduct

Code4Lib Midwest is dedicated to a harassment-free conference experience for everyone. Our anti-harassment policy can be found at: C4LMW Code of Conduct

Programming Sign-up

Share what you are working on! We would also love to hear some ideas for a Sunday morning workshop/hackfest. Add your name and a description below.

Workshops/Hackfest

List your name and what you want to hack, teach, or see someone else teach.

• Shawn Averkamp -- Linked Data Tool Share: Let's share tips and tricks for making/publishing/consuming linked data. How to set up a SPARQL server? How to use parsers and serializers? I don't have that many tricks up my sleeve yet, so add your name and comments here if you'd like to help organize: Linked Data Toolshare google doc
  • Jason Stirnaman -- I don't have many tricks either, but I can help and/or do a short demo using the Ruby RDF gem to query and read VIVO-ish RDF.
• Emily Shaw (UIowa) - CURATEcamp, anyone? An unconference-type event focused on digital curation, with discussion topics to be determined by the participants. Visit this [google doc] for more info and to sign up.
• Ian Mason (UIowa) -- Data Visualization Hackfest - If interested, please fill out the following survey: Data Visualization Survey

Presentations

15-20 minutes suggested, but feel free to propose a longer talk.

1. Mark McFate (Grinnell College) - The Status of Islandora and Digital.Grinnell -- Islandora and http://Digital.Grinnell.edu are evolving rapidly. See what's new in Islandora and get a glimpse of how it’s used in Digital.Grinnell.

Lightning Talks

A Lightning Talk is a fast-paced, 5-minute talk on the topic of your choosing. You don’t need to make slides, but if you do, you only have time for a handful. If you're nervous about speaking in front of a crowd, don't worry! It'll be over quickly. It’s best to keep it focused, and try not to pack a 20-minute presentation into 5 minutes.

Topics might include:

• Let me tell you about my favorite piece of tech and why I love it
• I want to do cool project X. Anyone want to help me?
• I did this successful project. Here’s what I learned, and how you might benefit.
• I did this unsuccessful project. Here’s what I learned, and how you might benefit.
• I have a bone to pick about this thing.
• I wish we would do more/less of X.
• Here’s my prediction for the future of X.
