Shared advocacy through data-looking beyond the high cost of journals
Academic libraries have a long history of advocating for additional funding for their collections. One strategy is to partner with a Faculty Senate Library Committee (FSLC) to take on the cause. In Spring 2011 OSU Libraries began this process by presenting our FSLC with a range of data they could use to tell our story to the Faculty Senate, campus administration, and other stakeholders. We will continue to work with them to advocate for our collections budget. As we explore these issues for our campus, larger questions come up. Which data best promotes libraries? What are additional strategies to pique campus stakeholders’ interest in a library's success? How can assessment data be used to strengthen our case for a better budget? Should libraries focus on our diminished purchasing power or our increased partnerships with faculty?

Discovering music: small-scale, web-scale, facets, and beyond-Belford
Many libraries are implementing or developing web-scale discovery interfaces or other faceted browsing interfaces. There is exciting potential for new discovery interfaces to ease the difficulties users face when searching for music materials. However, the specialized discovery needs arising from unique characteristics of music materials are often overlooked. This session will examine how to meet the special demands for music discovery while improving access to materials that pose similar challenges, such as law, literature and religious studies, and video collections. The session will provide an overview of the topic, based on the Music Library Association’s Music Discovery Requirements document, and explore aspects of music discovery as realized through specific interfaces.

Serial publication
Serial publications are documents published regularly on a specific topic or field, providing general information on current activities and publicity in that subject area across multiple issues to convey a sequence of information over time.
SET UP A RESEARCH ACCOUNT IN GALILEO
To set up a research account in Galileo: go to the Galileo website and click on "Advanced Search", then click "Sign In" and "Create a new Account" to complete the online form; this allows you to save searches and results to your account for later access from any computer with your username and password.
More than books
This document discusses factors to consider when selecting serials for a library collection. Serial publications like journals, magazines, and newspapers require long-term commitments as they are intended to continue indefinitely. This means that serial costs become a fixed part of the budget each year and occupy more storage space over time. When deciding whether to subscribe to a serial, librarians must weigh the ongoing costs of subscriptions, processing, packaging, and potential photocopying against how patrons will access the information and whether to purchase back issues.
Specialized Biographical Resources
This document provides examples of specialized biographical resources focused on particular subjects like ethnicity, history, literature, religion, and science. It lists common areas of specialization within those subjects, including resources on notable Asian Americans, Native Americans, Latin Americans, regents of nations, American women writers, scientists, and gay and lesbian individuals. The document aims to guide users to biographical references concentrated on specific topics.
Economic value-added 2
Economic Value Added (EVA) is a measure of a company's true profit by taking into account the cost of capital used to generate earnings. EVA is calculated as net operating profit after tax minus a charge for the cost of capital employed. Using EVA rather than earnings allows companies to focus on generating returns that exceed the minimum required by shareholders and create real economic profit and shareholder value over time. Determining a company's cost of capital, which includes its cost of debt and equity, is necessary for accurately calculating EVA.
Records Continuum Model
The document discusses the Records Continuum Model, an alternative to the traditional Records Life Cycle Model. The Records Continuum Model was developed in the 1990s and focuses on the purposes of records rather than their physical movement. It aims to provide a more integrated approach between records management and archival functions. The model views records as existing in a multidimensional space rather than passing through linear stages over time. It also allows for archivists to be more proactive in ensuring evidentiary value from the initial creation of records. The Records Continuum Model provides a more cohesive framework for managing records throughout their existence and uses.
EVA - Economic Value Added
EVA is a measure of economic profit calculated as net operating profit after tax minus the cost of financing the firm's capital. To derive NOPAT, sales minus variable costs equals contribution, minus fixed costs equals EBITDA, minus depreciation/amortization and tax equals NOPAT. EVA is used to measure a firm's economic value created over the required return of investors, and is determined to pay incentives and bonuses. Key benefits of EVA include measuring value creation, managing decisions to link to value creation, and motivating managers with incentive plans tied to shareholder value. Adjustments help translate financial statements to an economic framework for EVA calculation.
Economic value added
EVA is a measure of economic profit that is calculated as net operating profit after tax minus the opportunity cost of invested capital. The opportunity cost is determined by the weighted average cost of capital and the amount of capital employed. EVA measures all costs of running a business, including operating and financing costs. Companies aim to increase EVA by improving net operating profit, reducing costs of capital, and investing in projects with returns exceeding costs of capital while divesting from projects with lower returns. Stern Stewart & Co developed EVA and related metrics like MVA and FGV to evaluate company performance and value.

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.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
