The document discusses principles for creating an agile organizational culture focused on continuous improvement, innovation, and empowering staff. Key aspects include encouraging creativity and new ideas from all staff, an emphasis on learning and assessment to enable rapid change, empowering staff at all levels to be leaders, and developing a risk-tolerant culture open to piloting new services and technologies.
Organization 2.0: Avoiding the Social Software Graveyard
The document discusses how social software initiatives in libraries often fail and provides recommendations for successful Library 2.0 projects. It notes that initiatives often fail because they are not tied to the library's strategic goals or planned and supported over time. Successful projects clearly define goals tied to the institution, involve staff in planning, devote ongoing time and support, and continually assess the initiative. The document advocates for developing a culture open to new ideas, risk, creativity, and networking to support sustainable Library 2.0 projects.
Encouraging Innovation in Libraries
The document discusses common failures libraries experience when trying to implement new technologies and services. It identifies failures such as assuming what works for one library will work for another, focusing on new technologies without tying them to strategic goals, and taking on projects without allocating adequate staff time and resources. The document then provides recommendations for building an innovative culture, such as questioning assumptions, encouraging staff learning and risk-taking, and involving staff from all levels in planning.
Organization 2.0
This document discusses how libraries can transition to an "Organization 2.0" model to better utilize social software and Web 2.0 technologies. It identifies common reasons why libraries' early adoption of these tools fails, including treating them as peripheral rather than strategic. The document advocates developing a risk-tolerant culture, understanding users, encouraging staff learning and participation, and integrating 2.0 philosophies into planning. It emphasizes assessing initiatives and involving staff at all levels to build an agile organization that meets changing user needs.

Often when we think of ramping up the effectiveness of learning and supporting technologies, we think of the instructional designer at the centre of innovation. Wrong! Innovative practice in learning technology grows up in a community, a village, and in a social world with input and understanding from the village. The most effective impacts in learning technologies belong to and are shaped by this community.

Second Life 101
This document discusses Second Life, a 3D virtual world, and the American Library in Second Life project. It covers what Second Life is, how to run it technically, and examples of organizations with a presence there, including libraries.

Federated Search: Growing Your Own Tools (OPLIN)
Libraries spend a considerable amount of money each year on subscriptions to proprietary databases of online information. The most efficient way to access these expensive resources is through a federated search tool, but due to a lack of speed and difficulty of use, some third party federated search products can leave both patrons and library staff dissatisfied. Solomon describes how OPLIN undertook the development of a federated search tool that is “Google-like” in nature and provides accurate results with fast response times. She shares the process used to create a unique tool that combines both open source and proprietary components that has resulted in significant increases in both searches and documents retrieved.

Emerging Tech Trends 2018
This document discusses emerging tech trends for 2018 including facial recognition, virtual and augmented realities, subscription economies, and virtual assistants. Facial recognition is increasingly being used for security purposes but also raises privacy and bias issues. While virtual realities still have limitations, augmented realities are growing through applications in retail, art, and education. The subscription economy model is rapidly expanding and changing how consumers access goods and services. Finally, virtual assistants through voice interfaces are becoming more common in homes and offices through devices like Amazon Alexa and Google Home. The document considers implications of these trends for libraries and ways they could engage new technologies.

Teens, tweens & social networking 2012
We often have assumptions about how teens and tweens use the Internet. But, are those assumptions true? What kind(s) of social media should your library have? Learn the answers to these questions and many more, as well as discovering if your library can effectively engage (or not) with young people in social media.
Writing for the Web
Ever get the feeling that nobody is reading your library’s website? Trust your gut on this one; unfortunately, this is the case for much of the content posted on library sites. Learn how to make your content not only attractive, but also palatable to today’s online reader. Some simple guidelines will make all the difference.
Make your website better now!
(Computers in Libraries 2011) Let’s face it — we can’t always overhaul our library’s entire website. Sometimes, we just need ways to improve on what we have, due to cost, expertise, or political barriers. There are lots of things you can do with very little to improve your library’s site. Solomon provides some quick and practical ideas about potential ways to polish your site without busting your library’s budget or eating up tons of staff time.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
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.
