'''Remediating Loss: emerging roles for librarians''' - Angela Galvan (Ohio State): Technology complicates grief and loss in unexpected ways which researchers are only beginning to understand. This presentation discusses thanatosensitive information management, and a growing need to frame the dead as a user group. This talk can form around the interests of attendees. (20 minutes, either day.)
'''Building a PHP code library for Interacting with an Linked Data-based Discovery API''' - Karen Coombs (OCLC): The WorldCat Discovery API has the typical abilities you’d expect for building your own local discovery world: search access to WorldCat bibliographic and article data, facets, a variety of search indexes, and links to holdings. Because an RDF-based model is fairly new to libraries, we decided we could increase the adoptability of the API by providing a code library that would streamline the development process. This presentation will discuss the process of creating object-oriented PHP code library which would make the semantically rich entities and data available in a fashion that was more familiar to programmers used to working in OO PHP.
