In 1998 Omaha Public Library created its first online digital library to showcase its extensive collection of original photographs and documents from the 1898 Trans-Mississippi and International Exposition, Omaha’s own world’s fair. Another digitization project was undertaken in 2004. A decade later it was only too evident that the entire digital library, with its hodgepodge of different interfaces and metadata standards, needed to be dragged into the 21st century. We did it—despite minimal staff, minimal training, and minimal time! Come hear this saga of the good, the bad, and the ugly, and what we learned from it.
Presenter: Martha Grenzeback, Omaha Public Library; Mary Marchio, retired.
The article discusses how an English teacher, Andie Brown, had her students make short films about satire as a final project. This sparked interest in a student who had previously put in little effort, showing how technology can engage students. The project results were overwhelmingly positive and worth the time spent.
A second article argues schools should slowly integrate technology, starting with individual classrooms, as teachers may be reluctant to change and schedules limit technology use.
The third article profiles a student with cerebral palsy who benefited from assistive technology like switches connecting to toys, allowing him to interact with classmates and signal to answer questions, improving his education.
The document discusses self-discovery and defining success. It provides activities for participants to reflect on influences in their lives, values they were taught, and their own definition of success. Participants identify mentors at different ages and what was admired about them. Small groups then analyze magazine portrayals of success and values. In the last section, participants define what success means to them, how current behaviors prevent achieving it, and identify one action to make progress.

Crushing, Blending, and Stretching Transactional DataRay Schwartz
The document discusses extracting transactional data from library systems like the integrated library system (ILS), interlibrary loan (ILL) software, and other vendor services. It describes setting up an application server to store this extracted data in a database for reporting and analysis. The goal is to mine this data to determine which patron groups, like academic majors and departments, are accessing different library services and resources.
This document describes an application developed by Columbia University Libraries to provide electronic resource renewal reminders through Google Calendar. Key points:
- The app creates a calendar for each fund code in Google Calendar and populates it with expenditure events and reminder events based on data extracted from the library's Voyager system.
- Library staff can subscribe to specific calendars to receive email or popup reminders about upcoming renewals.
- The app addresses the problem of inconsistent assessment of electronic resources by different libraries and provides a standardized reminder system integrated into staff workflows using Google Calendar.
- Details are provided on the technical implementation using Python and the Google Calendar API to interface with Voyager data and populate the calendars.

The document summarizes Lancaster University Library's experience using Ex Libris Alma Analytics. It notes that basic reporting is fast and data exploration is good. However, there are also problems, such as a limit on the number of rows that can be downloaded, certain data not being available, and daily updates previously taking a long time. The library is working to integrate additional data sources into a dashboard to provide a bigger picture of library data and usage beyond just Alma Analytics.
This document summarizes a presentation given by Judy McNally and Doreen Herold of Lehigh University about the challenges facing their technical services department and how they are adapting workflows to address changing trends. Key challenges include acquiring fewer print materials, an explosion of digital resources, reduced budgets, and changing staff roles. The department is shifting from print to electronic serials, outsourcing more work, and cross-training staff. Staff are taking on new roles like resolving access issues for electronic journals and doing more batch cataloging of materials like ETDs and SpringerLink titles. The department is also exploring new cataloging solutions like OLE.
GOKb: What it builds on, what it can build (code4lib 2012)GOKb Project
GOKb is a global open knowledge base that aims to manage electronic resource information in a standardized, linked open data format. It draws on several existing standards and projects. The initial focus is on managing journal subscription and entitlement data through a flexible data model. The goal is to produce an openly accessible repository of electronic resource data with global identifiers and properties for each entity. Data will come from publishers, libraries, and partners and be normalized into the data model. Applications can then consume and extend the data through APIs.

Out with the old, in with the new: revising ERM workflows in a time of changeNASIG
Electronic Resources and Metadata (ERM) work can be time sensitive and constantly changing. It is difficult to keep track of tasks, projects, and what staff are working on. Communication, leadership, flexibility, and clear workflows are essential to successfully track and manage ERM tasks. However, workflows can easily become outdated, causing inefficiency and roadblocks.
In December 2019, the University of Guelph Library will be migrating to a Library Services Platform as part of OCUL Collaborative Futures project. This migration, combined with staffing changes and outdated workflows, inspired the Electronic Resources & Metadata team to begin revising many of their workflows, focusing on prioritization, clean-up, and streamlining. This session describes their workflow revision process, including local context, change management strategies for this process, and guiding principles for the revision. Emphasis will be placed on the NASIG Core Competencies for Electronic Resources Librarians, including communication, leadership, and flexibility, and their impact on workflows.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
