IIA4: Open Source and the Enterprise ( Predix Transform 2016)Predix
https://predixtransform.com
Today, software innovation costs are down about 90% from past expense, mostly due to elastic infrastructure, services that we can call upon, managed APIs, and open source software. In fact, Open Source is one of the driving forces of modern application development. Learn why Open Source is also good for the Industrial IoT.
The LCT dimension of Autonomy offers great potential for making explicit the principles underlying educational practices. In this presentation, I discuss how I enacted the concepts to develop a shared understanding of how to select pedagogic content (PA) for particular pruposes (RA) when designing online embedded literacy materials. This enabled discussion of how the 'targets' of different stakeholders may be effectively integrated, informing the design of pedagogic materials.

Most of your global workforce has a good understanding of English. Or do they? While their speaking skills indicate proficiency for common vocabulary, do they learn well enough in English to comprehend and assimilate policy, new processes or change behavior and performance?

20220512 MER2022 Professional Development for the Information ProfessionalJesse Wilkins
This presentation, delivered on May 12, 2022 at the MER 2022 conference in Indianapolis, IN, outlined an approach to building a personal professional development plan.
You, too, can be a library administrator (and enjoy it)Kristin Calvert
Professional development opportunities in most functional areas of librarianship are abundant, yet librarians often end up in managerial or administrative positions having received little, if any, formal preparation. Administrators aren’t born knowing the best way to lead and manage people and projects, and our profession offers little built-in support for gaining that knowledge. You can develop your leadership abilities in an intentional way by approaching administration just like you would any job training. The speakers will share methods for creating an administrative mindset, provide a review of critical skill sets, and offer ideas for locating management and leadership-oriented professional development. This session is aimed at accidental administrators, new administrators, and anyone who has an interest in taking on a personnel management role.
How to Eat an Elephant: Processing a Massive Gift Collection With a Streamli...Beth Picknally Camden
In this presentation, we discussed how the University of Pennsylvania Libraries processed an enormous gift collection, under time pressure, using a unique workflow. Challenges included sorting boxes in which rare materials were mixed with items suitable for general collections, while simultaneously culling duplicates and items to go to resale. We showed how setting up a workflow that anticipates some of the most common curatorial decisions, frees bibliographers and curators from having to look at every item to make a decision. We also talked about how template-based cataloging can be used to save time, along with other streamlined processing.
Presented as part of the session "Planning for Future OLE Implementations" at Kuali Days 2015. Includes Penn's implementation timeline and progress as of Nov. 2015.

Editor's Notes
Background—CETRC; LIS education task force (LC Action plan 5.1); ARLIS panel 2003
Prep for this—informal survey of hiring at ARL (Big Heads) libraries
Note: mostly from large research libraries
Economic impact/Budget cuts
Staff reduction (to save material budget)
Attrition due to retirements/buy-outs
Lean organizations
Organization moving in new directions
Cat Metadata
Focus on unique materials/hidden collection
New names for depts—new activities
Some hiring—different positions
e.g. Knowledge Access=Cataloging
Term/Temporary/Visiting positions
Grant-funded positions
Part-time positions
Metadata/digital library projects
Rare book catalogers
Language specialists (Slavic, Hebrew, etc.)
Format specialist (music, serials, etc.)
Supervisory/Management
Hybrid positions
Internships
But specialists don’t only specialize (also do general work)
New titles=> Knowledge Access Head of Design & Development
Training of existing staff
RDA
XML/XSLT
MARC Edit and other tools for massaging metadata
LIS 5.1 report (2002) competencies
Cataloging & metadata
Leadership & Management competencies
Service orientation
Cooperation & collaboration
Communication & interpersonal skills
Problem-solving: analytical, creative, flexible
Management skills
Growth & Change
Larger than in the past (varies)
Often many don’t meet qualifications
Depends on location—some “superb”
Either/or candidates—not finding everything we want
e.g. IT Whiz OR Traditional Cataloger (would like both)
Mid-career librarians in entry-level pools
Librarians in pools for staff positions
Who we are hiring:
Have skills that the organization lacks
Entry-level “top of class”
People who can train their co-workers (bring their organization up to date)
Librarians laid-off at other inst.—or moving from grant to grant
Entry level—assume that we will teach the tools
AACR2 and RDA
Local practice/systems
One-on-one training with experienced cataloger—customized to individual
Specialization training (external)
e.g. Rare Book School
More collaborative than in past
Most had familiarity with only one program
Concerns:
Distance education
Balance between theory and practical
“Definitely worse” vs. better than when I was in school
Adjunct faculty
Cataloging courses barely mention FRBR/RDA/linked data
Focusing on AACR2 rules, not grounding in what’s going on in the profession—understanding the cataloging big picture
Cataloging not required
Metadata courses—vary (some not offered; others better than cat. course)
Need to teach programming—metadata manipulation
Distance ed cat class was discouraging—”wanted to take a butter knife to my wrist”
Concern about TS librarians in small libraries—won’t have training pool like large libr.
Importance of practical experience along with degree
Not all schools are easy to work with
giving back to the profession
Requests increasing (at RDA test library)
Funding can be issue
Cataloger time can be an issue
