Content Used to be King: The Semantic Web in EducationJudy O'Connell
There was a time when books, newspapers, magazines, and journals were the primary sources of content and information. You had to enjoy slow reading of (limited) information sources to gain a knowledge base that matched a particular curriculum outline.
This was when content was king and the teacher was the sage on the stage. Now communication is the new curriculum and network connections drive deep learning and knowledge creation. The era of collaborating, communicating, and integrating resources flexibly and online is here to stay. Massive change has pushed us into a 21st century information maze. What does the 21st century web offer us? What is the relevance of linked data and semantic search and how might this affect our information seeking, and learning/teaching strategies?

Let's take a look into how the web evolves and where we've came from. (Finally, a field where "evolution" and "intelligent design" can play nice.) We'll dive deep into some of the upcoming trends poised to change the web as we know it.

Introduction to Web 3 - Tony Aube at WAQ19Tony Aubé
Watch with English closed captions: https://youtu.be/PQHEwuUOplQ
In the 2000s, sites like YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter marked the arrival of Web 2.0. At the time, we were already wondering what would be the Web 3.0. Today we have the answer: Web 3.0 (simply called Web3) is the transition to a decentralized Internet.
The Internet is doing very badly today. Censorship, centralization, surveillance, data piracy, misinformation, the abolition of neutrality, etc. Fortunately, several solutions are being developed to solve these problems: Tim Berners-Lee's Blockchain and Cryptocurrency, IPFS and Solid.
This presentation aims to highlight these projects. We will see how these promise the creation of a decentralized Internet. An Internet beyond the control of private companies and governments. An Internet that will exchange value as easily as it is possible to exchange information today. And finally, an Internet where users are in control of their own personal information.

The unceasing Internet evolution is changing many aspects of our daily life, both personally and professionally. Internet is an extension of our potential, we are experiencing this transformation day by day. In particular, there are two main areas where this change is more tangible: communication and knowledge.
We now communicate in a very different way from how we did it years ago. Today chat, Skype and video conferencing seem to be routine; we take for granted the ability to communicate for free with everyone we want, anywhere in the world, relying on network services. We also think and learn in different ways from how we did it time ago. When something is unknown to us, we look for it on the Internet: researches on Google and Wikipedia are part of our typical day, to imagine a world without the Internet appears to be pretty hard.
Based on real cases and tracking the main web services trends, this presentation summarizes the impact that Internet evolution had, has and will have on us and in particular on the way we learn and think.
Web 2.0, library 2.0, librarian 2.0, innovative services for sustainable car...Cheryl Peltier-Davis
Abstract
Caribbean libraries are being challenged to adapt to changes in the external environment. Challenges in the form of budget cuts and shrinking resources, retraining staff and reorganizing workflows, delivering traditional and innovative services to an Internet -savvy consumer, and competition from aggressive rival information services such as Google. As a result of these and other challenges in this increasingly complex and virtual environment, library administrators have been coerced into becoming more creative in their attempt to provide new and improved facilities, products and services. This paper analyses the linkages between Web 2.0, Library 2.0 and Librarian 2.0 and discusses the benefits of developing library services centered on the Web 2.0 model. The paper identifies specific Web 2.0 technologies such as blogs, wikis, social networks, folksonomies (tagging and tag clouds), RSS feeds, podcasts, instant messaging and mashups and suggests ways Caribbean libraries can harness and integrate these technologies to provide innovative and sustainable library services. The paper also provides a comprehensive resource list of these emerging technologies which are available free on the Internet.

Use of cloud computing technology as an application in librariesDr. Mohd Asif Khan
Cloud computing Technology changing rapidly and is forming a layer that is touching each and every aspect of life like power grids, traffic control, medical and health care, water supply, food and energy library science is not exception to it. Information technology impacted positively on library and information system and services they provide for users. The libraries have been automated, networked and now moving towards manual libraries to paper less or virtual libraries. To gather challenges in the profession librarians are also applying different platforms in Library science filed for attaining economy in information handling. This paper overviews the basic concept of newly develop area known as cloud computing. The use of cloud computing in libraries and how cloud computing actually works is illustrated in this communication.

Empowering Creativity: Exploring Makerspaces and Engaging STEM Programming in...Ellyssa Kroski
Makerspaces are creative, DIY spaces where people can gather to create, invent, and learn. In libraries they often have 3D printers, software, electronics, craft and hardware supplies and tools, and more. Forward-thinking libraries are already building their own dedicated makerspaces and developing valuable STEM programming based on the tools and technologies found therein. Learn all about the essential tools and technologies found in makerspaces and how you can host engaging STEM programming using tech such as Raspberry Pis, wearable electronics, virtual reality, and robotics in your library whether you have a dedicated makerspace or not!
Ellyssa Valenti Kroski is the Director of Innovation & Engagement at the New York Law Institute as well as an award-winning editor and author of 75 books. She is a librarian, an adjunct faculty member at San Jose State University, and an international conference speaker.
DIY Escape Rooms & Immersive Experiences in the LibraryEllyssa Kroski
Escape rooms are immersive, live-action games in which a group of participants enter a room where they must solve puzzles and collect clues in order to "escape" or win the game. These engaging and captivating games can be designed around nearly any theme from zombies to pirates to detective dramas and are being used by libraries in a multitude of ways. They can be employed simply for outreach and to engage library patrons, for incorporating instruction and experiential learning outcomes, as well as for internal staff team-building and training. You too can create this type of captivating programming for your own library for both promotion and education!
Setting up a centralized knowledge base for your library can be a great way to collaboratively brainstorm ideas, gather specialized knowledge, organize instructional resources, and even replace intranets. Creating a private, personal knowledge base will keep you organized, store your files, and provide an online space for brainstorming, reading lists, project ideas, to-do lists, and even travel plans. Learn how to create your own personal and organizational repositories of information and knowledge with no technical skills required!

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
