Using a social media as a way to promote your library can sometimes seem daunting or overwhelming. But using Instagram can be a powerful advocacy tool, and it doesn't have to take a ton of your time to keep up with it. I'll share strategies for coming up with posts, reaching out to your community and planning ahead so that you don't have to constantly worry about what to post when. I'll share examples from my own library Instagram account (@TPrepLibrary) and show you how I plan and schedule posts once a week. I'll also share some great IG accounts to follow for more ideas and inspiration. Whether you've never been on IG or you're a seasoned Bookstagrammer, you'll come away from this session with new ideas to try.

This presentation looks at a variety of ways that you can collaborate with your science classes and incorporate makerspaces and maker activities into the curriculum. I'll focus on a year-long collaboration with my 6th grade science classes where the teacher and I led a different maker focused project each quarter that tied in with her curriculum. This included projects on lab safety, earthquakes and weather detection devices. We'll look at practical examples of ways to collaborate with your science teachers, as well as different makerspace supplies and activities that can help support your science classes.

Finding ways to get our middle schoolers into our library makerspace can sometimes be challenging – especially in a pandemic. Last year, we expanded our existing makerspace programming into afterschool Maker Days twice a week and it’s been a huge success. This year we’re continuing to grow by incorporating maker activities into the 6th grade science curriculum. Learn how we created design challenges and found fun activities that engaged our students in design and creativity.

Depending on the age of your library, your collection is likely a mixture of different collection development strategies (or lack thereof) that have been used over the years. For most of us, our libraries could use a great deal of care and feeding to develop them into the vibrant, exciting collections that will have our students clamoring to read more. But it can be so overwhelming to figure out where to start. In this session, we’ll talk about developing weeding strategies and creating a collection development plan that will slowly but surely bring your collection up to speed. We’ll talk about the important of diverse books, graphic novels as well as other current topics like genrefication. Come to this session and get ideas and strategies that will help you tend to your library collection and make it amazing.

Not Just a Librarian: How Libraries Transform Our Schools

Many of us work in school libraries that were built in the 20th century. Our collections are a hodge-podge of different collection development strategies (or lack thereof) over the decades. Whether you’re taking over a new-to-you library program or you’ve been at your school for years, there are probably neglected spaces you would like to spruce up, programs you would like to create and new books that need to be added.

No matter your grade level, years of experience or the age of your library space, you will come away from this session excited to reimagine your library.

In an age where generative AI is becoming increasingly sophisticated, the potential for fraud and misinformation has reached unprecedented levels. This keynote will begin with a personal case study exploring how the speaker became the target of a generative AI scam, highlighting the convincing nature of these deceptions. Building upon this experience, the talk will delve into the broader implications of generative AI for the spread of misinformation and the erosion of trust in online spaces. As the line between truth and falsehood becomes increasingly blurred, the role of education in equipping individuals with the critical thinking skills needed to navigate this complex landscape becomes paramount. The keynote will argue that empowering postgraduate social science researchers with the tools to critically engage with generative AI is not only essential for their own work but also for the wider fight against misinformation.

Methods of Software Testing There are two basic methods of performing software testing: 1. Manual testing 2. Automated testing Manual Software Testing As the name would imply, manual software testing is the process of an individual or individuals manually testing software. This can take the form of navigating user interfaces, submitting information, or even trying to hack the software or underlying database. As one might presume, manual software testing is labor-intensive and slow.
