This document provides an overview of resources for librarians to self-educate on data science basics, software, and the library's role in data management. It recommends introductory readings on cyberinfrastructure, data challenges, and evolving library services. More advanced readings include syllabi on digital curation. The document also lists blogs, conferences, and organizations for continuing education, as well as tools for tasks like data curation, metadata, and visualization.
This document provides an introduction to data science concepts for librarians. It discusses why librarians should care about data, including the growing importance of data in research. It outlines some basic concepts to understand like data types and software tools. It also lists resources for learning more, such as blogs, conferences and training opportunities. The document emphasizes that while "big data" is a buzzword, librarians can play an important role in helping researchers manage and share their data.
The document discusses different levels of integrating data with the web to maximize its utility. It outlines three stages of web integration: 1) publishing raw data online, organizing and licensing it; 2) making the data web accessible using open formats and APIs; 3) fully integrating data with the web by identifying things and linking them together using identifiers and relationships. The highest level of integration is Linked Data, which publishes both the data and data model using RDF to create a web of interconnected data that increases utility for both people and machines.

This document discusses the evolution of information literacy beyond the concept of Library 2.0. It argues that Library 2.0 was an overhyped idea that confused trends in web tools with the core concept. While social media tools saw early adoption among students, academics and researchers were slower to engage. The document notes that information literacy is now focused on skills like evaluating large amounts of information from search results and mobile access is increasingly important. It suggests information literacy must adapt to these changes by guiding students on skills like reflection and contemplation to process online information and that libraries are well positioned to help with this evolution.
This document summarizes free online resources and apps that were presented at a pre-conference session for teachers at Broad Creek Middle School. It lists resources for creating online storybooks, graphic organizers, name generators, presentations, lesson planning, classroom management, science songs, calculators, timers, and multimedia presentations. It also describes apps for sharing work through Google Drive, bookmarks, and airplaying iPad screens. The principal announced a team building activity called Fish Philosophy Twist happening at the school.
Lean Startup and Lean UX give you powerful experiment driven methods to learn about customers, products and services. But you’re not dealing with test tubes and chemicals. You’re dealing with people.
The customer backlash from some of Facebook’s experiments last year shows that what companies can do doesn’t always match up with what customers think they should do. How do we keep doing valuable experiments without hurting our customers or damaging our reputation?
There’s a word you hear from experimental scientists you don’t often hear on product teams: Ethics.
How does your organisation help you create ethical experiments? Professional scientists have people & processes to help them deal with ethical issues — experiments pass both professional and institutional standards. Is anyone thinking about ethical standards inside your company — or is the issue being ignored completely?

Lean personas: discover your real customersAdrian Howard
How can you get everyone in the team to understand your customers - especially if you're not 100% certain yourself?
Personas - research-based examples of the people who use your product - can help. Unfortunately in agile contexts traditional persona development often doesn't work well.
How do we use personas when our understanding of the product and market is still evolving? What happens when we lack the resources for extended up-front research? How do teams manage changes to existing personas? How should we communicate personas? How do we keep the value of long-term research in an environment of rapid iteration or continuous delivery?
We'll show you how to incrementally build models of your customer with the whole team. We'll be demonstrating practical techniques for documenting personas, communicating ongoing research, and integrating it with agile approaches to product vision and strategy.
How do you get everybody in your company to understand your customers — especially if you’re not 100% certain yourself? You’ve got out of the building and talked to your customers, but how do you communicate and build on what you learned when you get back? We’ll show how to get the whole team involved in doing user research and building persona continuously. You’ll be introduced to a practical technique for integrating persona with lean approaches to product strategy and development.

Persona are research-based examples of the people who use your product. They help teams understand customers and deliver the features that they really need. However persona have traditionally been produced by specialist researchers in up-front research phases that don’t fit in well with agile and lean product development.
This talk shows you how to get the whole team involved in user research. You’ll work through an example scenario showing you how to learn about your customers by building persona incrementally. You'll experience how to get rapid alignment on your customer within the team, how to refine customer models over time, and how this lets you work with persona in a changing marketplace. Helping the whole team gain customer empathy and generate new product ideas.
You'll come away with practical techniques for integrating persona with agile & lean approaches to product strategy and development.
The document discusses several challenges and opportunities related to online library access. It notes that instructors and students do not always understand how to access on-campus and off-campus resources. It also states that instructor use of instructional technologies is not keeping pace with student demand and that some library search tools could be more user-friendly. The document focuses on increasing online access to library content, resources, and services through areas like reference support, instruction, website design, and the convergence of technologies.
No stories without evidence, no evidence without storiesCameron Neylon
Talk given at Sydney University on 4 August 2015.
Across many parts of our lives we are faced with the increasing availability of data to support decision making. With every element of the research process moving online, there are many new sources of data, as well as improved old sources of data, that can provide information on the performance, value and use of research and researchers.
But there is a problem. The proliferation of proxy data, and their naive equation with such weakly defined concepts as “quality” and “excellence”, have lead to a reliance on rankings and quantitative measures as institutional targets. More than this the adoption of these instrumental targets has lead us away from a critical discussion of institutional values, indeed of what the institution is for.
I will argue that it is only by moving away from such vague terms as “quality”, “excellence” and “impact” and focussing on institutional values and a well articulated mission that institutions of scholarship will continue to be relevant for the future. It is through interrogating the goals of the institution that the enormous potential resource of data on the research enterprise can be realised. Using the data effectively will allow us a window on how knowledge actually moves and is used. In combination with a clear sense of institutional goals this provides great opportunities for institutions to differentiate themselves from the pack.

A biology teacher felt burned out and needed new ways to inspire her students and improve her teaching. She realized she needed support from more experienced teachers and an organized way to find teaching resources and information. By developing a personal learning network (PLN) online, she was able to connect with other teachers through groups and chats to gain new ideas and reflections that reinvigorated her teaching.

It also provides examples of mathematical fractals like the Koch snowflake, Barnsley fern, and Mandelbrot set. The document notes that fractals are self-similar geometric shapes where parts of the shape resemble the whole, and includes links to images of different natural and mathematical fractal examples.
Bring on the Rain Putting the Cloud to Work for You: an introduction to cloud...Bobbi Newman
This document provides an introduction to cloud computing and discusses its advantages and disadvantages. The presentation summarizes that cloud computing allows storing and accessing data and programs over the internet instead of a local computer's hard drive. It offers benefits like lower costs, easier sharing, more storage, and improved reliability. However, issues with cloud computing include potential loss of access to data, privacy concerns, and dependence on internet speed. The document also lists examples of popular cloud-based applications for productivity, collaboration, and organization.

The document discusses the concept of linked data and its implications for libraries. It provides an overview of linked data, describing its key principles and how it represents data using RDF. The document then discusses how linked data can connect the world's libraries by linking their metadata and other resources on the web. It notes challenges for libraries in transitioning to linked data but also opportunities to better integrate library data on the web and reassert their role as discoverable sources of information for all materials.
Web development as we do it right now is on the way out. The future of the web is what its founders have planned a long time ago: loosely joined pieces of information for you to pick and choose and put together in interfaces catered to your end users. In this session, see how to build a web portfolio that is always up-to-date, maintained by using the web rather than learning a bespoke interface and high in performance as the data is pulled and cached for you by a high traffic server farm rather than your server. If you wondered how you can leave your footprint on the web without spending thousands on advertising and development, here are some answers.
There are so many devices, tools, and techniques to tantalise us, and challenge our modes of reading and information organisation. What will you change today, tomorrow, next week? Are you keeping up with every(E)thing?

Este documento describe los procesos de metamorfismo y las características de las rocas metamórficas. Explica que el metamorfismo ocurre cuando las rocas son sometidas a altas presiones y temperaturas, transformando su composición. Se distinguen dos tipos principales de metamorfismo: regional, que ocurre a gran escala en zonas de colisión tectónica, y de contacto, inducido por la cercanía a cuerpos ígneos intrusivos. Finalmente, se describen las texturas con y sin foliación que pueden present
This document summarizes a presentation about transforming the web together through open data and standards. It discusses the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and its role in developing open web standards. It provides examples of linked open data projects including data.gov and mashups of government data. Specific open data portals for cities like Chicago are highlighted. Semantic web technologies like RDF, RDFa, and SPARQL are referenced as working groups at W3C. Links are included to further resources on linked open data basics and news portals. The presentation concludes with mentioning Peter Mika from Yahoo discussing open data.
This document discusses exposing humanities research data as linked open data to make it more accessible and connectable. It describes the benefits of following linked data principles by putting data online in a standard format, making it addressable through URIs, and linking it to other data. As an example, it outlines how the Reading Experience Database was connected to the web of data, allowing relationships to be represented between experiences, people, documents, and other metadata. Overall, the document argues that representing research as linked data provides opportunities for reuse, linking to other resources, and deriving new insights from the connections between data.

The document summarizes Mack Hardy's presentation on data visualization at NetTuesday Vancouver. It provides examples of different tools that can be used to visualize data, such as Excel, Google Charts, maps, timelines, cartograms, and interactive visualizations using D3 and Raphael. It also discusses ethics and best practices around publishing open data. The presentation emphasized using visualization and storytelling to communicate patterns in data and provide context.
Informatics Transform : Re-engineering Libraries for the Data DecadeLiz Lyon
Libraries need to re-engineer to support the data decade by providing research data management services and developing data informatics capacity. This includes offering data management plans, metadata support, data storage, and tools for data tracking and citation. Libraries also need to work with researchers and partners to understand data requirements, provide advocacy and training, and help acquire skills in areas like data preservation, analysis, and visualization. As data becomes more important, libraries are on a journey to develop these research data management capabilities.
Learning Analytics & Linked Data – Opportunities, Challenges, ExamplesStefan Dietze
Linked data provides opportunities for learning analytics and education by serving as a large body of openly available educational resources and data and by promoting interoperability through semantic web principles. It can help integrate isolated educational platforms and facilitate recommender systems. Example applications include integrating biomedical resources and analyzing datasets in a unified "Linked Education Graph". Techniques like entity enrichment through knowledge bases help disambiguate and correlate educational resources.

Making friends with big data resource linksHeather Stark
This document provides a list of over 30 links to resources about big data, analytics, social games, and related topics. The links cover free reports on big data, digital advertising, how Google and Facebook operate, NoSQL databases, cloud computing, data-driven design, social network structure, analytics in games, A/B testing, and more. The document aims to share useful information and perspectives for understanding big data and its applications.
The document discusses recognizing the labor involved in creating datasets and facilitating deeper acknowledgement of this contribution. It proposes tracking metrics for datasets and non-traditional research outputs to provide more context on how research is used. This would include metrics like citations, altmetrics showing social media mentions, and indicators of datasets being used in other works. Recognizing dataset creation better could help address researchers' fears regarding the risks of openly sharing their data.
This document discusses the opportunities that cloud-based services provide for libraries. It notes that cloud services allow libraries to do more than just technical infrastructure by providing distributed services, collections, and expertise. Libraries can leverage one another's local expertise and amplify local excellence through network opportunities. The document advocates for collaboration between institutions at regional, national, and global scales to build macrosolutions through shared resources and federating interests. However, it acknowledges that high levels of trust and risk tolerance are required for collaboration at macro scales where institutions become dependent on one another.
Invited talk given at The Natural History Museum, London, 17 March 2009 (I gave a very similar talk at the Department of Zoology, University of Stockholm, 12 March 2009).
The presentation explores the trend towards a scholarly communication system that is friendly to machines. It presents 3 exhibits illustrating the trend and 1 exhibit illustrating inertia in the system. It makes the point that machine-actionability can be much easier achieved if content and metadata are available in Open Access and under a permissive Creative Commons license. It also observes that even with content and metadata openly available, new costs related to advanced tools to explore the scholarly record will emerge. Finally, it points at significant challenges regarding the persistence of the scholarly record in light of increasingly interconnected and actionable content and advanced tools to interact with it.
The slides were used for a plenary presentation at the LIBER 2011 Conference in Barcelona, Spain, on June 30 2011.
This document discusses how libraries can leverage data from their collections to support new research and discovery. It outlines several initiatives that treat library collections as data, including the Library of Congress labs and a project exploring computationally-driven research. The document also discusses OCLC's work analyzing institutional repository data through its Repository Analytics and Metrics Portal (RAMP) and making data more interoperable through support of the IIIF standard for sharing images and metadata.
