Many challenges arise when managing a library’s social media presence, though the biggest is often generating engaging and interesting content. At Lawrence University’s Mudd Library, we’ve begun the shift from trying to create content our target audience wants, to asking them to generate it for us. We’ll share how we have been able to work with other campus departments, students, alumni, and faculty to provide concrete examples of what the library can do for our patrons- and how we have been using social media to share these stories. Attendees will be highly encouraged to share their own social media stories.

The document discusses the role of libraries in building social capital and connecting communities. It provides background on the Chicago Public Library system, noting its large size, diverse collections and programming, and presence in neighborhoods throughout Chicago. The library aims to bridge different groups and provide equal access to information. Key to its success are partnerships with other organizations, programming that promotes learning and social connections, and services like homework help for students and digital skills training.
Creating a Digital Media Space for Today's Teens: Part 1 (August 2017)
The document discusses creating a digital media space for teens at the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh. It provides background on the library's shift to a model based on relationships and community building through mentorship programs like The Labs. This involves embracing the library's role in supporting multiple literacies and informal learning. The Labs program was inspired by the successful YOUmedia model at the Chicago Public Library, which utilizes mentors to encourage exploration of interests. The document emphasizes designing programming and spaces to foster diversity and mentoring relationships in order to better serve all members of the community.

The library saw benefits from empowering staff with new skills and integrating user-generated technologies like blogs and wikis into services.
The Notable Reports Panel Strikes Again: WAPL 2017
From the Wisconsin Association of Public Libraries 2017 conference and presented by Vickie Stangel, Director, Dodgeville Public Library; Kelly TerKeurst, Director, Dwight Foster Public Library (Fort Atkinson); Gus Falkenberg, Technology and Design Director, Indianhead Federated Library System (Eau Claire); Cindy Fesemyer, Director, Columbus Public Library; Sara Gold, Community Liaison and Service Specialist, WiLS; Andrea Coffin, Community Liaison and Service Specialist, WiLS
Back by popular demand! Each year, a number of new reports about public libraries are produced by organizations like Pew, OCLC, Library Journal, The Aspen Institute, and others. These reports contain valuable information that can help us plan, develop services, and improve existing services, but unfortunately, few of us have the time to read every single one. The goal of this session is to help attendees get an overview of those reports and their implications for our work. Each panelist will share a summary of a report they believe is significant and discuss how they have used or will use the information at their library. Attendees will be encouraged to share other reports and insights that have mattered to them, too!

5th LF Energy Power Grid Model Meet-up Slides
5th Power Grid Model Meet-up
It is with great pleasure that we extend to you an invitation to the 5th Power Grid Model Meet-up, scheduled for 6th June 2024. This event will adopt a hybrid format, allowing participants to join us either through an online Mircosoft Teams session or in person at TU/e located at Den Dolech 2, Eindhoven, Netherlands. The meet-up will be hosted by Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), a research university specializing in engineering science & technology.
Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.
