Oh, the Places Ebooks Go: An ebook's journey from creation to circultationBookNet Canada
Follow the journey of an ebook file from publisher to library reader, as Rose Donohoo (OverDrive) and Maria Cipriano (Toronto Public Library), in conversation with Teresa Elsey (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt), survey the ebook lending landscape. As the ebook and its metadata travel from publisher to OverDrive ingestion and validation to library purchase and curation, we’ll address issues of discoverability, usability, lending models, and access to content, as well as the differences between library lending and retail. We’ll take a deep dive into what’s required to get ebooks into the hands of library customers (it’s harder than you would think!), and what ebook publishers and developers can do to help.

Flipside's PEPCON presentation - Migrating Content into the Digital PlatformHoney de Peralta
This presentation's objective is to educate and empower Philippine educational publishers who are or have yet to convert their content into ebooks. It includes advice regarding the technology, ebook formats, how to distribute in the e-textbooks in the Philippine market, and recommended ebook apps.
This deck was meant to be delivered during the 1st Philippine Educational Publishers Association (PEPA) Conference on Sept. 19 at SMX. The typhoon Fung-Wong (or Mario in the PH) prevented me from delivering it live. However, this deck was also distributed to the participants during the event and to the members of PEPA.
I am now making it available for everyone's reference. May it be useful to you.
This TBLC-sponsored webinar was presented by Al Carlson and Chad Mairn on 5/26/2010.
It can be argued that reading habits have changed since electronic publications have become more prevalent in our growing digital world; however, library staff should remain focused and become informed advocates for their readers no matter what, why, and where they choose to read. Join Al Carlson and Chad Mairn as they discuss the intricacies of electronic publication formats and reading devices in order to help make everything involved in electronic reading more comprehensible to library staff, so that they can focus their efforts on their patrons’ reading and to not get stuck on the format or device where the reading takes place. They’ll help you figure out the relative strengths and weaknesses of today’s crop of e-reading devices and look ahead to what you’ll see within five years. Al and Chad don’t have all the answers, but they’ll help you start asking the right questions. Some examples: What should the library user who loves to read buy now? A Nook? An iPad? Something else?
Why should libraries provide e-reading opportunities? How should libraries provide e-reading opportunities without over-committing to technology that may turn out to be the equivalent of the BetaMax tape? What happens when advancing technology makes every gadget we own a potential e-reader? How do libraries deal with an enormous materials collection that can be accessed from anywhere but fits on a flash drive?

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

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.

17. For Apple devices Can I transfer OverDrive MP3 Audiobooks to an Apple® device? OverDrive MP3 Audiobooks can be transferred to Apple devices using OverDrive Media Console v3.0 (or newer) on Windows® or OverDrive Media Console for Mac®. Can I transfer OverDrive WMA Audiobooks and OverDrive WMA Music to an Apple® device? OverDrive WMA Audiobooks and OverDrive WMA Music can be transferred to Apple devices (where permitted by the publisher or record label) using OverDrive Media Console v3.2.0.5 (or newer) for Windows. OverDrive Media Console for Mac does not support OverDrive WMA titles. Can I download OverDrive titles directly to mobile devices? Mobile devices can use the OverDrive Media Console app to download and open MP3 Audiobooks and EPUB eBooks. You cannot download PDFs or Wma files via the app. www.BiblioOttawaLibrary.ca
These are all things that Overdrive announced at their annual conference. There isn’t a timeline but they are being worked on. The catalogue integration is something the Bibliocommons will be working on. It’s a major project so no timeline yet.
