Join us to learn about the new Project Outcome for Academic Libraries surveys and resources. Project Outcome is a free toolkit that helps libraries measure four key learning outcomes – knowledge, confidence, application, and awareness – across seven library program and service areas.
Presenter: Sara S. Goek, Program Manager, Association of College & Research LibrariesAssessment @ CUL
This document outlines the responsibilities and goals of a new Program Coordinator for Marketing and Assessment position at CUL. The coordinator will oversee CUL's assessment program, including surveys, focus groups, usability studies and data analysis. A three-year assessment plan will have goals of understanding assessment needs, outlining project priorities, building a culture of assessment, and providing support for data-driven decision making. An Assessment Working Group and Assessment Center website will help manage projects and communicate results.
Student Survey
The survey data from 6 years of university library surveys found that the library is heavily used as a place and content provider, but that the value of these roles is diverging. While some services are strained, user discomfort is on the rise. Digging deeper showed interesting variations between colleges in how the library is used that could help assess current services and develop new ones. The survey was limited in scope but provides a starting point to discuss next steps and priorities.
Library Assessment
The document discusses library assessment and outlines key concepts such as:
1) Library assessment has shifted from evaluating efficiency and accountability to assessing outcomes and quality of services from the user perspective.
2) Assessment differs from evaluation in that it focuses on measuring outcomes and impacts rather than just inputs, outputs, and efficiency.
3) Tools like LibQUAL+ are used to gather both quantitative and qualitative data on user perceptions of service quality and areas for improvement.

The document discusses library assessment and outlines key concepts such as:
1) Library assessment has shifted from evaluating efficiency and inputs/outputs to assessing outcomes and impacts on users.
2) It introduces tools for library assessment like LibQUAL+ which measure user perceptions of service quality.
3) Barriers to effective assessment include a lack of data systems, skills, and leadership support, while factors like staff training and using results for decision-making can help create a culture of assessment.
OPEG Fall 13 Presentation
The document discusses data collection and consistency in research. It describes the process of human observation which includes selecting subjects, training observers, supervising data collection, validating the data collection process, and evaluating the results. It also discusses machine observation. For data consistency, it outlines problems that can occur with responses such as missing or incorrect values and how they can be addressed through returning to respondents, assigning substitute values, or discarding values. It further discusses data cleaning techniques like checks and weights that can improve data quality and consistency.

Agile Methods Adoption on Software Development @ Agile 2014
Agile adoption on organizations is frequently failing all over the world. We want to help companies on this process by looking at companies that have been through this transition - their characteristics, they steps they took and other perspectives. By a systematic review on published studies, we intend to answer the question: is it possible to find guidelines that can be reusable by other organizations on their Agile adoption process?

Tire safety
Tires are a vital but often overlooked component of vehicles. It is important to check tires for expiration dates which are stamped on the side in a four-digit code indicating the week and year of manufacture. Tires should be replaced within four years of this date. Additionally, proper inflation is critical for safety - tires should be inflated to the maximum pressure indicated on the sidewall but not above. Overloading tires or exceeding their weight ratings can also lead to failure and accidents.

Year 2070
This letter written in 2070 describes a dire future with severe water scarcity. The writer recalls abundant water and nature from their childhood in contrast to the current situation. People now suffer from dehydration, poor health, and early death. Water has become extremely precious and fought over. The environment is severely degraded without trees or vegetation. Future generations face intellectual impairments due to the changes. The writer feels guilty for the past generation's role in environmental destruction. They believe life on Earth will soon be impossible due to the irreversible damage.

Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

For the full video of this presentation, please visit: https://www.edge-ai-vision.com/2024/06/how-axelera-ai-uses-digital-compute-in-memory-to-deliver-fast-and-energy-efficient-computer-vision-a-presentation-from-axelera-ai/
Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.Skybuffer SAM4U tool for SAP license adoption
