Why Users Won't Jump Through Library E-Book Hoops and How to Fix It Galadriel Chilton
This presentation combines highlights from two 2014 ER&L presentations: Never Mind I’ll Just Buy It: Why Users Won’t Jump Through Your Hoops and DDA 2.0: Evidence-Based Selection of E-Books.
Via an entertaining compare and contrast, this presentation explores disconnects between e-books via library PDA and third-party platforms compared to “real world” resources such as Kindle e-books.
Then, the presenter will show how UConn Libraries PDA program is quite successful from an acquisitions perspective, but access to DRM-encased e-books is a less than ideal user experience and share how UConn Libraries is working to provide access to thousands of DRM-free e-books while only purchasing titles with highest use.
The purpose is to illustrate how library resources and commercial resources aim to meet user needs in radically different ways, and how libraries can fix it.

Slidecast - What's wrong with online reading (short)Randy Connolly
Slidecast version of the short (50 min) version my "What's Wrong with Online Reading" presentation. Audio recorded during a Nov 2011 guest lecture. Unfortunately, some of the vocal commentary for the last dozen slides was lost.
This talk discusses how a wide range of research in web usability, psychology, education, and communication theory provides corroborating evidence that on-line reading is transforming cognition, learning, and the very nature of knowledge in some disturbing ways.
Presentation by Lynn Silipigni Connaway - June 2009, Glasgow University Library: "The library is a good source if you have several months": making the library more accessible
Libraries anxious to improve their relevance to students have been busy, over the last couple of years, purchasing vertical search/discovery service solutions. In ‘the rise of platforms could see off the web‘ Ken Chad analyses this in the wider context of the the rise of global platforms and ‘apps’.
Zamboanga City State Polytechnic College e-Library: An Impact StudyChristopher Climaco
This paper is an impact assessment of the ZCSPC e-Library funded by the Philippine Commission on Higher Education (CHED). As part of the College's reportorial obligation to CHED, this study sought to find out the extent of utilization and problems encountered in the use of the ZCSPC e-Library.
How to talk to your users about why eBooks are terrible.
In 2013, the OCUL consortium purchased scholarly eBook collections with much stricter DRM. This session will explore the implications of this new model on technological support and infrastructure within the consortium, and will examine usage data and user feedback to illustrate how library users are accessing (or not accessing) borrowable eBooks.

Generating a custom Ruby SDK for your web service or Rails API using Smithyg2nightmarescribd
Have you ever wanted a Ruby client API to communicate with your web service? Smithy is a protocol-agnostic language for defining services and SDKs. Smithy Ruby is an implementation of Smithy that generates a Ruby SDK using a Smithy model. In this talk, we will explore Smithy and Smithy Ruby to learn how to generate custom feature-rich SDKs that can communicate with any web service, such as a Rails JSON API.

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.

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!

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.

Editor's Notes
Hoe waarschijnlijk is het dat we over 10 jaar helemaal geen boeken meer drukken?
Verschil met gewoon leesboek (naast media) minder lineaire vorm van lezen
Geen heel goed voorbeeld overigens; ebrary, ilibrary etc zou beter zijn maar daar heeft de UvA geen licentie op.
Inhoudelijke kwaliteit: aanbod ca 20%, vaak niet laatste editie Prijs: vaak 150%; maar ook verplicht pakket of single title Plaatsing: MARC-format; mogelijkheid tot plaatsing in eigen catalogus
Vb 1) e-encyclopedia’s ( Wilson, R., Shortreed, J., & Landoni, M. (2004)) => Additionally, the added value content and interactivity helped individuals remember the information they had read. However, participants encountered more difficulties trying to find information Vb 2) onderzoekje UBVU game vs webcursus
Eerder onderzoek vooral faculty, hier studenten prominent Studenten vs faculty: niet alleen meer boeken inzien maar ook langer (more likely to read a whole chapter) en vaker Inzage: UB (45%), Free (42%), bought (5%)
Log analysis; 36 boeken voor 2 jaar (economie, geneeskunde, werktuigbouwkunde en media studies) (600.000 britse pond) Quote uit eerder CIBER onderzoek: half of time is spent viewing content, other half for finding way in or out. Gemeten: Pageviews, sessions conducted, time spent, Method and location of access, searching, browsing, content

Pitstop; Wie leest ebooks? Wie heeft een ebookreader? (kindle/sony/irex/nook) Wie zou er gebruik maken van een mobiele bibliotheekwebsite?
Navigatie; waar ben ik? Liever scrollen dan klikken
2 jr geleden 1 pag per keer, nu beter maar nog steeds beperkt.
Vraag: wie doet dit wel eens met pdfdocumenten? Problemen; vaak wegleiden van pagina, geen link tussen highlight and annotation, niet zichtbaar op zelfde pagina, toegang boek tijdelijk 2 e McFall; paar jaar later ging het beter; rol affect en aangeleerd gedrag?
