Presentation given at the Mobius 2014 conference. This talk outlines paths collection management librarians can utilize to address the acquisitions and management of library materials. Collection managers have robust and extensive networks of talented colleagues, who help enrich and vitalize the daily operations and processes undertaken at any given library. Jill Emery will present ways in which collection managers can leverage these networks to enhance and create strategies to develop better information communication both within and outside the library. By becoming a network center, collection managers can create a dynamo effect that spreads out through the library organization as a whole.
The second phase in hosting was exemplified by a shift to a broader set of services in the mass-market, driven by virtualization and automation... the foundation for what will become hosting 3.0, or the next phase in cloud computing. However, the hosting market is simultaneously splintering between public, private and enterprise cloud solutions, creating larger challenges for hosting providers to facilitate to these disparate needs. This brings with it a decision point for hosters: what is needed to adequately compete? How to create cost effective yet resilient and secure infrastructure solutions? Where to invest, who to acquire or how to be acquired? Join Antonio as he describes the State of the hosting industry, the simultaneous looming threats and opportunities that Cloud computing brings to the hosting market, and how to deal with them.

1. Exercici per a transformar imatges Aquest exercici consisteix en seleccionar imatges fotogràfiques amb un determinat objectiu: crear una nova imatge a partir de les que triem de revistes, diaris i altres documents impresos. Podem transformar les imatges i crear-ne una de nova si sumem parts de diverses imatges. La tècnica que utilitzarem s’anomena collage i consisteix en retallar molt acuradament formes per el seu contorn i enganxar-les sobre una altre imatge que funciona com a fons, creant així una imatge nova. L’objectiu és crear imatges fantàstiques, que ens apropin a la fantasia i al món més irreal i surrealista. Podem treballar manualment o, si hi tens pràctica, també ho pots fer amb ordinador, per exemple amb el programa Photoshop.
2. Et proposo dos tipus d’exercici:1. Triar una imatge i retallar-la a tires o alguna altra forma, tot seguit enganxar les tires canviant els espais entre les tires, de manera que la imatge quedi alterada. Aquest exercici és més fàcil i per tant només es pot optar al 7 com a nota màxima.2. Triar més d’una imatge i crear-ne una altre de nova enganxant parts d’imatges sobre un nou fons. Podem crear un animal fantàstic, o una persona o un paisatge, etc. Pots veure una mostra a la imatge de baix. Aquesta opció, si la treballes bé, pots optar a un 10 com a nota màxima.Ara tria el tipus d’exercici que vols fer.
3. Procura que les noves imatges tinguin alguna intenció concreta: que siguin iròniques, divertides, estrambòtiques, sorprenents, etc.No treballis amb el primer que trobis, procura fer un treball pensat i elaborat.
4. Si has triat la segona opció, aquí tens uns consells:Per treballar el collage i aconseguir enganyar a l’espectador fent que la imatge sembli autèntica i no es vegi la trampa, s’han de tenir en compte varis factors: Que les imatges que hem de mesclar tinguin llum i colors similars.
5. b) que la mida dels enllaços entre les diferents parts sigui similar, és a dir, cal que l’amplada del coll coincideixi amb la del cap, etc.
6. c) Que el resultat sigui comprensible. Cal poder identificar i reconèixer el nou animal o la nova forma respecte el fons.
7. d) Retallar amb molta cura tot el contorn de les formes i figures, sense deixar cap espai de contorn, que no es vegi que ha estat extret d’un altre lloc.
8. e) En la imatge del fons, sobre la que es volen enganxar les formes retallades, cal tallar algun contorn per tal de donar la sensació que les figures surten del mig d’altres formes, de manera que quedin integrades amb el fons. Vegeu aquests exemples.
