(If you'd like to propose a workshop, talk to us.)
'''VIAF and Elasticsearch''' - Ralph LeVan, OCLC Research:
I'll give an overview of the technology supporting VIAF and our exercise to switch from our home-grown Pears database loading XML records and move to JSON-based Elasticsearch.([http://www.oclc.org/content/dam/research/presentations/levan/levan-viaf-magic-code4lib-2016.pptx Slides])
'''How not to work during a sabbatical''' - Eric Lease Morgan, University of Notre Dame:
I will outline the set of applications/systems I wrote during my (not a) sabbatical. They include text mining tools, image processing & analysis hacks, MARC data enrichment activities, collection management decision-making scripts, etc.[[http://blogs.nd.edu/emorgan/2016/07/adjunct-status/ blog posting & one-page handout]]
'''Policies for Data Management''' -Abigail Goben, UIC:
'''Exploring Born-Digital Data and Format Conversion Strategies with DROID and Plotly''' - Max Eckard, Bentley Historical Library:
I recently dug through about 5 years' worth of born-digital archives processed here at the Bentley. This gave me the opportunity to explore not only our born-digital data--and what it *really* looks like--but also the format conversion strategies we employ as part of our Ingest process.[[https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/13xvrQioT_jvqkTUWcnxb896c9EtpuqojqmsLvytdtiw/edit?usp=sharing slides]]
'''Wrapping an Image Server in Proxy and Cache Blankets''' - Graham Hukill, Wayne State University:
Serving images can be a digital object repository's bread and butter, but can touch on logistical and policy complexities. By wrapping the Python based "Loris" image server in a homegrown proxy, and caching with Varnish, we've been able to improve our image delivery, while keeping stakeholders happy as well.

'''Library Gamification in Theory and Practice''' - Ken Irwin, Wittenberg University:
People have been talking for years about bringing gamification ideas into library projects. I will talk about some gamification basics, how I've implemented some of them on one project, and we can discuss other areas in which gamification could be employed.
[[http://www6.wittenberg.edu/lib/ken/presentations/gamification.pptx Slides (PowerPoint)]]
'''Architecting Change in Repository Code''' - Debs Cane, Northwestern University & Avalon Media System:
'''Audio Preservation and Automating Transcription''' - Megan Kudzia, Michigan State University:
I have been working on a project to automate transcription for a digitized audio oral history collection. This talk will cover: how I automated transcription; how I got the finished audio files and transcripts into our Islandora digital repository; problems that I'm still trying to figure out solutions for; and what I learned along the way.Slides here: http://bit.ly/29RLZkS
'''Batch-loading E-Electronic Serials Recordswhile Maintaining High Quality Bibliographic Control''' - Jamie Carlstone, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign: I will go over the workflow challenges of batch loading electronic serials MARC records while trying to maintain a high standard of quality. The process requires a circular workflow between OCLC Connexion, MarcEdit, Excel, and Microsoft Access that is far from ideal. I will also discuss a program I am working on that aims to improve upon this process.
'''Evergreen, From the Bottom Up''' - Dan Wells, Calvin College:
Chances are good the rights statements on your digital projects are some degree of special-snowflakeness that makes them impossible to decipher with an institutional decoder ring. Fix that. RightsStatements.org offers some great licenses that everyone should get on board with to ensure our digital collections are actually usable!
'''Change''' - Ranti Junus and MEgan Megan Kudzia, Michigan State UniversityHow do we make our organization|unit|team more accepting of change? How do we overcome preference vs. best practice? How do we know when a change is not the right answer? These are probably questions that we asked when a change is needed. Let's discuss the approach we employed on making change happens, or when we see that our vision of change is not what we think it should be. What works or doesn't for you? Google doc of the discussion is here: http://bit.ly/29zuF0W
