Marshall Breeding will present his view of the current state of the art of library management systems, the role of discovery products to improve end-user experiences, and give some perspective on what's emerging in the near future in the technologies that libraries will need to manage their operations and to provide services to their users.
Library education was initially a technical education that was acquired on the job. Practical work in a library, based on a good education in schools, was the only way to train librarians.
It took quite a long time to introduce library education as a subject and has been taught at different levels in the universities of the world.

An introductory presentation on the concept of Library Classification by Dr. Keshava, Professor, Department of Studies and Research in Library and Information Science, Tumkur University, Karnataka, INDIA.
Software's now-a-days became the life line of modern day organizations. Libraries also need software if they want to create a parallel digital library with features which we may not find in a traditional library.
This presentation was done as part of an examination into the process of weeding in a library. Weeding as we describe is an essential part of any Collection Management policy and is useful not only for the library, but the patrons.
A comparative analysis of library classification systemsAli Hassan Maken
We use classification each & every moment of the life by intentionally or unintentionally. Classification has always been the backbone of all Library operations and without it, library is definitely going to suffer in its recourse and to find a particular piece of information from unorganized heap of knowledge is almost impossible. The library classification is core instrument for organizing and retrieval of the documents stored in a library. At present era they are the navigation tools for locating and retrieving documents in more precisely and relevantly. The electronic versions of the DDC and UDC and other classification schemes make it possible to realize the potential of library classification to improve subject retrieval.

BRICS Development Bank Problems
There seem to be BRICS development bank problems even before the idea gets off the ground. In their recent summit in South Africa, the leaders of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa stated that they intend to create an international bank to support development in the developing world. The argument made by many in the developing world is that the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, and the Bank of International Development have a Western bias. This argument has been around for quite a while. The emerging powers of the BRICS group want more say in what goes on in the world and more say that is commensurate with their growing economic clout. The figure tossed around is $50 Billion in seed capital, evenly divided among the five BRICS nations. But, BRICS development bank problems are sure to rise. The complaint of these nations has been that the dominant economies of Europe and North America call the tune for who gets development money and who does not. There is a realistic fear that China with the largest economy and largest cash reserves will want to call the tune and cause BRICS development bank problems. Where will the headquarters of such a bank be? Who will be its officers and how will they be chosen? This news follows on the heels of a large Russian Chinese energy agreement in the making, a deal which holds much of the same promise of investment opportunity in these nations, and much of the same risk of failure.
He Who Has the Money Has the Power
Where the Europeans used to have colonies across the globe, the United States developed an economic hegemony in the years after World War Two. US military might and economic clout guaranteed allies in the fight against communism. Another way of looking at the contest between the USSR and the USA is that industrialized nations need both access to natural resources and people to sell their products to. As China has grown in economic clout it has followed the path of the Brits and the Yanks by spreading cash around the Third World in return for oil contracts, mineral rights, and access to markets. Where locals everywhere across the globe used to both envy and resent the Brits and then the Yanks, they now envy and resent the Chinese. An all too accurate complaint in Africa is that China is actively working to inhibit industrial development in Africa because they want African resources and they don’t want industrial competition with cheap African labor. An issue for South Africa is if they can ante up $10 Billion to have an equal share of bank power alongside the Chinese.

Slides accompanying a presentation about Evergreen and ERM at Evergreen International Conference 2009, by George Duimovich of Natural Resources Canada.
This presentation was provided by Marshall Breeding of Vanderbilt University, during the NISO event, "Library Resource Management Systems: New Challenges, New Opportunities," held October 8 - 9, 2009.
A briefing paper written by Ken Chad for Higher Education Library Technology contrasts the library resource management landscape now with the situation in 2008 when a Jisc/SCONUL LMS study recommended that the time was not right for libraries to purchase a new library management system. In the intervening period a new generation of 'library services platforms' (LSPs) has emerged to replace library management systems (or integrated library systems –as they are also known) and the pace of procurement has quickened.
Ken Chad analyses the current landscape and looks at the strategic issues around the changing nature of library collections, shared services, workflows, analytics and the cloud. He predicts that LSPs will move to encompass additional resource silos. Furthermore cloud-based library platforms will unleash further opportunity for shared services. ”The cloud is becoming the new normal” he suggests, quoting Amazon’s cloud strategy chief Andrew Jassy.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
In his public lecture, Christian Timmerer provides insights into the fascinating history of video streaming, starting from its humble beginnings before YouTube to the groundbreaking technologies that now dominate platforms like Netflix and ORF ON. Timmerer also presents provocative contributions of his own that have significantly influenced the industry. He concludes by looking at future challenges and invites the audience to join in a discussion.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

in similar products but one where
companies distinguish
themselves through products
and services that define
different futures for their
library customers.
21. Core Systems…
Although ILS sales no longer
completely define the library
automation market, new sales
and ongoing support of these
flagship products continue as
the largest and most reliable
revenue stream.
22. Trends in Scandinavia
Local companies and products consolidated into
Axiell
Very little presence of external international
companies
Millennium (Innovative Interfaces)

local government initiatives and resources
Movement toward open source ILS – regional
and state-wide projects underway
24. Key Context: Libraries in
Transition
Shift from Print > Electronic
Increasing emphasis on subscribed
content, especially articles and databases
Strong emphasis on digitizing local collections
Demands for enterprise integration and
interoperability
25. Key Context: Library Users in
