Librarians are increasingly focused on incorporating outreach, engagement, collaboration, and innovation into everyday tasks such as programming, collection development, instruction, and reference support. Many libraries are turning their attention to what is happening outside of their spaces to improve services and resources inside their spaces. Some institutions are moving away from traditional models of reference, instruction, and collection development and toward creating active mobile spaces where communities can come together to collectively produce, curate, and consume information.
The Rutgers University Art Library looks outside its walls to connect with the local campus and New Brunswick communities with the goal of providing innovative programming that engages a wide range of patrons while highlighting the library’s collections and local scholarly research.
This paper will look at outreach and engagement and examine how these activities affect collection development and highlight library collections. Six case studies from the Rutgers University Libraries will be used as examples: The Rutgers Art Library Exhibition Spaces (RALES), the Rutgers University Libraries Coloring initiatives, button-making, LEGO play, an Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon, and Banned Books Week.

"Being a More Visible Support for LGBTQ* Communities – What Some Canadian Libraries are Doing to Promote LGBTQ* Services, Inclusivity, and Community Engagement" is Part 2 of "Nowhere to Turn, Nowhere to Go," representing a greatly expanded update from the previous version.
Part 1 is a separate SlideShare file entitled "Library Service and Collection Policies and Strategies for Supporting LGBTQ* Communities."
The core conviction is the same as for Part 1: Librarians are catalysts for social change and personal transformation.
Part 2 shows in vibrant visual images what some Canadian libraries -- post-secondary and public -- are doing to support and promote LGBTQ* services.
It also challenges viewers who are library service providers -- and at the same time it informs viewers who are library service users -- to address the question of: If there aren’t any now, how could you create LGBTQ* inclusive programs and services at your library?
Suggestions for promotion and advocacy to support LGBTQ* communities are addressed, but they are just suggestions. Visuals and narratives in this presentation show what 15 Canadian libraries in these two sectors are doing to support LGTBQ* populations, from specialized collections and reading lists to Pride parade engagement to the creation of public library GSAs to myriad events, workshops, guest speakers, special celebrations, collaborations and partnerships, and library volunteer staff groups.

Many libraries are acquiring much more than an individual’s papers. They are also acquiring community-based collections. Community-based collections are those which have been amassed not by one individual but by a collective, which may take the form of a museum, ethnic or cultural organization, or other diaspora group active in the documentation of its past. Often these collections are emotional collections, in that they speak to the community’s heritage and identity. As such, these broad archives are extremely personal to those who collected and, sometimes created, the materials. When libraries work with community based collections, they navigate new territory In working with community-based collections, libraries are navigating new territory in integrating and stewarding these communities as well as more traditionally caring for the physical collection. An ongoing commitment to community engagement, with some level of shared governance or other collaborative activity to build, process, or publicize the collection, is often a key part of acquiring community-based collections.
Turning Outward: Using Outreach and Engagement to Develop Unconventional and ...Megan Lotts
In the 21st century librarians are thinking more about outreach, engagement, collaboration, and innovation when it comes to everyday tasks such as programming, building collections, and providing instruction and reference support. Many libraries are beginning to think more about what is happening outside of their spaces, to provide better services and resources inside their spaces.
Some libraries are moving from traditional models of reference and instruction, to active mobile spaces outside the libraries, where communities come together to collectively produce, curate, and consume information. The Rutgers University Art Library uses the ideas of turning outward to connect with the local campus and New Brunswick communities, to provide innovative programming that engages a wide range of patrons.
Through this webinar you will learn more about outreach, engagement, and what it means to turn outward. You will also learn about how to create low-cost high-impact innovative programming within your own organization, as well as hear more about the Rutgers Art Library Exhibition Spaces, Pop-up Makerspaces, and a recent Banned Books Week celebration funded by the Freedom to Read Foundation.

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.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

12. Strategies for working with
multiple institutions
• Never underestimate the power of one-on-one
meetings
• Keep up-to-date on recent Wikipedia research
and editor statistics
• Personal tone makes a huge difference
* Not all institutions will want a staff t
13. Make or break: The institutional pitch
• Standard format for initial engagement
– One-pager with basic information about local WP
activities
– Standardized Edit-a-thon “packet”
– Report of institution’s current coverage
• Show them a few Wikipedia pages of items
they hold
• Follow up the next day with a list of links to
things you’ve talked to
14. Staff trainings
• “Train-the-Trainers”
• Regularity / monthly
hub
• Staff from any
department participate
• Have the point person
at the institution help
run the training
• Take group photos!
15. Planning for “virality”
• WikiData and
DBPedia
Workshop for
librarians
Growing interest among
libraries for structured
Data sets
• #BlackLivesMatter
Wikipedia Edit-a-
thon
Be in touch with the
channels and trends of
your local media
environment
