It'" - This short presentation will describe what text mining is, and then it will demonstrate how text mining can ll be integrated into library "discovery systems"over quickly. The goal of the presentation is It’s best to increase the awareness of digital humanities computing techniques keep it focused, and try not to encourage the library profession to embrace them as pack a way of making collections more useful20-minute presentation into 5 minutes.

* Matthew Reidsma (Web Services Librarian, Grand Valley State University) - "Using jQuery to style hosted library services." Every library struggles to provide some sort of unified experience for its users, despite using hosted solutions for many of its resources. Getting these varied sites designed by countless different vendors to look like part of your library's site You can be a challenge. I've found great success in combating sign up now or during the lackluster HTML and CSS of library vendors by using jQuery to make the page I want, rather than the page I have. I'll show some examples of projects I've completed as well as the Open Source projects they have spawned (360Link Reset, hasMedia?).conference:
