| 10:15 AM | 10:40 AM | 0:25:00 | Presentation | Histonets: Operationalizing historic images using machine learning for research | Jack Reed, Geospatial Web Engineer, Stanford University | This presentation will discuss a novel use of machine learning and computer vision techniques on historic maps. As scholars turn to images for research, extracting operational data from them can often be a time consuming and error prone task. Primary research data for historical road networks can be obtained from images and often times is manually extracted. A recently developed open source software project, Histonets, aims to solve these problems by providing a semi-automated way for users to extract road network data from historic maps. Much of this technology is reliant on the IIIF Image API for delivering images. The presentation will demonstrate the software, discuss challenges encountered, and the future of the project.

| 10:40 AM | 11:05 AM | 0:25:00 | Presentation | DOE Code | Katie Knight, Metadata and Cataloging Librarian, Oak Ridge National Laboratory | This presentation will be an overview of DOE Code, the new software project from the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI). DOE Code aims to provide an open source, social platform for all DOE scientific software. It connects to repositories on GitHub, Bitbucket, and others, and provides a place to host code for users that are unable to use other hosting services. Since DOE Code is itself an open source product, other institutions will be able to download and deploy it for their own purposes too. This presentation will also include some detail of the proposed metadata schema. By sharing our project with a community of information and metadata experts, we hope to invite discussion, critique, alternate perspectives, and/or general feedback so as to strengthen the project as a whole.

Since then, we've added new features, improved existing features, released new searcher plugins, and improved documentation. This talk will outline several improvements we've made, such as making it easier to create plugins to integrate with external APIs, improved analytics collection and visualization, typeahead support, as well as features we have planned, and our vision for the future of bento-box search. I'll also outline a recently completed project that migrated an existing bento-box search application for Special Collections to the QuickSearch toolkit. Link to presentation |

| 12:12 PM | 12:19 PM | 0:07:00 | Lightning talk | Teaching 3D Digital Skills at GSU Library | Spencer Roberts, Digital Scholarship Librarian, and Jessica Moss, Georgia State University | Georgia State University Library is about to pilot a digital skills training and badging program that will teach students how to use 3D scanners, digital modeling tools, and 3D printers. Students will earn a digital badge and create digital portfolios where they can showcase their work. Students will digitize artifacts from university collections in the library and other departments, thereby adding value to their learning experience and expanding our digital collections. We will provide an overview of our project goals and plans, and welcome feedback or suggestions as we explore this new content area for scholarly training in the library. Link to presentation |

| 2:05 PM | 2:30 PM | 0:25:00 | Breakout - Presentation | Managing eResources with MS CEASR | Melissa Randall, Electronic Resources Cataloger, and Jessica Scott, Library Specialist, Clemson University | Clemson Libraries adds bibliographic records to the online public catalog for all eBook titles held in non-aggregated subscriptions, purchases, and those provided by our Consortia. While we use ProQuest's Intota for conventional Electronic Resources management tasks, it does not track some needed management steps, namely MARC Record loads, ILS cleanups, cataloging workload, and vendor or collection problem resolutions. We will present how we codified the collections and adapted ERMes, a relational database from Murphy Library, University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, to suit our needs. We'll cover the phases of the project, lessons learned, and future development plans for what we call Management System for Clemson Ebooks and Streaming Resources, or MS CEASR. Link to presentation.

Woodruff Library began to discern a need for enhancing staff skills in computer programming and information technology. Staff members across many departments were keen to enhance their skills to work with digital asset management programs, online materials, websites and library guides, or automating repetitive tasks. Accordingly, librarians from the Digital Services Department and the E-Learning Technologies Department began meeting to plan the formation of a collaborative group. The Coding Interest Group, as it became known, was created to enhance learning and maintain motivation through peer mentorship and shared experience. This presentation will focus on the experiences the group has had as a collaborative group, learning and teaching new skills together. It also aims to provide recommendations on how to establish similar initiatives in other libraries. Tips on best practices and reflections on improvement will also be included. Link to presentation |
