(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:
'''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:
'''Change''' - Ranti Junus and Megan Kudzia, Michigan State University
How 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
