What if your automation system resembled apps on a smartphone -- allowing you to choose apps that meet your needs with the strengths of Code4Lib expectation that they will sensibly communicate with each other? FOLIO is our willingness a library services platform -- infrastructure that allows cooperating library apps to share experience data. Librarians, developers, and learn user experience designers from each otherall over the world are participating in designing and creating this open source effort. As The FOLIO project is also an experimenteffort to build a sustainable, we will go community-driven collaboration around the roomcreation of a modern technology ecosystem that empowers libraries. Introduce yourself and give an example of (1) something you are proud Attendees will learn key aspects of the FOLIO project and (2) something you are struggling withhow the FOLIO platform technology will impact library service offerings. We hope that this Attendees will stimulate ideas for breakout topics and informal conversationsalso learn how they can participate in the FOLIO community.

Well, you can fix thousands of item records by hand or you could use a little bit of Python and a lot of trial and error to automate your troubles away. This is the story of taking the second option and tribulations and triumphs involved. Alma Enumerator is a set of Python scripts that use the Alma API to parse free text item description fields and convert them enumeration and chronology data that can be uploaded back into Alma. The presentation will cover the problem that needed to be solved, the design considerations, complications encountered during development, and the highlights and shortcomings of the collection of scripts that became Alma Enumerator.

Time TBD (~5PM2:45 pm: Break 3 pm: Tammy Stitz -~8PM)Making your PDFs universally accessible: Meetup at One of the largest problems for students who use screen readers is reading PDFs. Even the intellectual content of their courses is easier to understand than trying to figure how to read the PDF. Sometimes PDFs cannot be read and other PDFs are read as blocks of text without an easy way to jump to different sections, which is problematic for long documents in particular. This presentation will discuss the features of an accessible PDFs based on the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0. It will show how to correct some issues using Adobe Acrobat DC when using a few different programs to generate the PDFs.  [httphttps:// TBDworks.bepress.com/tammy_stitz/8/ Link to Tammy's presentation slides]This bar is an easy bus ride from campus3:30 pm: Stephen Cassidy and Jason Michel - Building Discovery Layers: a Modern Approach: In this presentation we will discuss how the Ohio State University Libraries built a discovery layer utilizing existing vendor APIs like sierra and EDS, created custom APIs, and near many great dining optionsrendered results via the Vue javascript framework.  We will discuss all layers of the project: Node.js, Elasticsearch, Vue.js, Lexicon (our custom built API environment), Drupal and more. [https://osf.io/gyasq/ Link to Stephen and Jason's presentation slides] 4 pm: Lightning talks and day closing announcements 5-7 pm: Dinner in Oxford's uptown 7-9 pm: Game night at King Library. -join us for a game night at King library from 7-9p

910:0045 am: Samuel Hansen -10PodcastRE Not Podcatcher:30 Presentations Archiving Podcasts for Research: While there are many solutions to the problem of downloading and/storing podcasts, none of them take into account the needs of archivists or lightning talksresearchers. This is only fair as most people, including myself on most days, are just downloading them for entertainment, but as podcasts increase in importance in culture so does the need for preserving them for both posterity and research. This is the goal of PodcastRE, http://podcastre.org, created by Jeremy Morris and Eric Hoyt at UW-Madison. During the evolution of the project which I have been a part of for the past year, from iTunes collection to full blown archive, many unexpected and interesting obstacles have reared up. In this talk I will discuss some of them, particularly the ways podcasts, and their RSS feeds, create challenges to those of us trying to store their contents long term, the new data model we had to create to deal with these challenges, and how we try to deal with the many changes creators can make to the RSS feeds at any given time.
1011:3015 am: Glen Horton - Mindful Coding: How does writing or reviewing code make you feel? Stressed? Fatigued? Anxious? Things like deadlines, project overload, and work environments can have a big impact on how developers feel when they interact with code. How can developers focus their attention, create better products, and increase their overall well-10being all at the same time? Mindful coding. Mindfulness has been used to reduce stress and increase the quality of people's lives and it can be used during development as well. Glen will share the mindful approach he takes to writing and reviewing code at the University of Cincinnati Libraries. Learn how being present in the moment, focusing, and empathizing with users can lead to a better product and actually be therapeutic for the developer.[https:45 Break//osf.io/m256r/ Link to Glen Horton's presentation slides]
