Collections U of T is a digital repository service using Islandora that provides three key functions:
1) It sustains faculty digital humanities projects through the entire digital curation lifecycle, from ingest to long-term preservation and access. This is exemplified by a project preserving Soviet samizdat periodicals.
2) It allows the creation of multiple sites under a single repository, including sites for library collections and faculty projects, leveraging shared technologies and workflows.
3) As the parent Islandora site, it enables the preservation, management and discovery of collections from across the University of Toronto, addressing a wide range of digital object types and formats through Islandora modules.
Since the early days of e-resource management, holdings maintenance for electronic resources has been a very time consuming and manual process. While the emergence of electronic resource management systems (ERMS) has improved this process to a significant extent, holdings maintenance tasks remain labor intensive due to the increased volume of electronic content to manage, as well as issues related to metadata quality. To ameliorate many of the problems associated with managing electronic resources, and in recognition of a need for greater accuracy and efficiency, some knowledgebase providers are beginning to offer libraries options to automate holdings maintenance for electronic resources. In 2014, OCLC developed a service to provide automated holdings management for a select group of content providers. Within the WorldCat knowledge base system, library specific holdings for e-book and e-serial collections can be managed within the knowledge base without the need for library staff to manually intervene. At the University of Toronto Libraries, we decided to take OCLC's automated holdings management service for a test-drive. For three vendor packages, we conducted an on-going comparison between the library's holdings list and the title listing supplied by the automated service. This presentation will outline the results of this investigation, highlighting the benefits and drawbacks of automated holdings maintenance. The talk will also provide a vision of what the automated holdings management service could look like in the future.

A lot of talk about the future of the internet sounds almost hippie-spiritual or faux-philosophical. The Internet is not the same as the world-wide-web. But the Internet-of-Things and the Semantic Web - all parts of Web 3.0, are beginning to be very important to our learning environments. Here is a summary of key features, ranging from access, creativity, and information architecture.
The Search for the Perfect Door - Deviant OllamShakacon
You have spent lots of money on a high-grade, pick-resistant, ANSI-rated lock for your door. Your vendor has assured you how it will resist attack and how difficult it would be for someone to copy your key. Maybe they’re right. But… the bulk of attacks that both penetration testers and also criminals attempt against doors have little or nothing to do with the lock itself! This talk will be a hard-hitting exploration (full of photo and video examples) of the ways in which your door — the most fundamental part of your physical security — can possibly be thwarted by someone attempting illicit entry. The scary problems will be immediately followed by simple solutions that are instantly implementable and usually very within-budget. You, too, can have a near-perfect door… if you’re willing to learn and understand the problems that all doors tend to have.

This document summarizes a Drupal hack that occurred at the University of Toronto Libraries. The hack was detected by analyzing Apache logs and noticing odd traffic patterns, including many wp-conf requests. The hack exploited an FCKEditor bug and the PHP Filter module to inject malicious code that could execute PHP. This allowed the hacker to access files, databases, and user information. To recover, the organization restored from backups, disabled vulnerable modules, reset passwords, and improved security practices like access controls and updates. Lessons included following security guidelines, testing updates, using HTTPS, and establishing security processes and failure rehearsals.
The document summarizes a presentation given on the Collections UofT Repository and Enterprise Content Management. It introduces Collections UofT as a platform that takes an enterprise content management approach to managing digital projects and assets across the University of Toronto in a collaborative way. Several use cases are described, including the UTARMS archives, digitized Nouwen family photograph albums, and sharing metadata between repositories using OAI-PMH. Challenges with the system are discussed along with potential solutions.
This document discusses opportunities and challenges of using open source software like Open Journal Systems (OJS) and Open Conference Systems (OCS) in academic libraries. OJS is used to manage journal workflows from manuscript submission to publication, while OCS manages conference workflows. OJS supports over 11,500 journals in 16 languages and is maintained by the Public Knowledge Project in partnership with other institutions. The document outlines benefits of OJS like being free, online-ready, enabling social media integration and standardizing/automating journal management processes. It also discusses opportunities for academic libraries to use OJS to address challenges from declining print readership and increasing needs for online access and impact evaluation.
This document summarizes the development of an accessibility toolkit created by the Ontario Council of University Libraries (OCUL) to help its member institutions comply with accessibility legislation and standards. It describes the multi-stage process that included establishing working groups, developing content on public services, procurement, and law/administration, and deciding on a wiki format. The goal of the toolkit is to provide guidance and best practices for improving accessibility of library services, resources, and digital platforms.
The document discusses Information Technology Services (ITS) at the University of Toronto Library and their approach to managing digital projects. ITS provides a wide range of technology services to support the library's mission. They aim to be nimble, innovative, user-focused, and improve accessibility. ITS uses collaborative project management software to plan projects, assign tasks, track issues, and document work in a transparent way. Two example projects discussed are migrating legacy websites to Drupal and redesigning an article finder tool to be more user-friendly.
As electronic serials have shifted from being the exception to the norm, libraries are becoming increasingly reliant on knowledge base driven systems to help manage their electronic resource holdings. In 2011, after over a decade of managing e-serials within a local database, the University of Toronto Libraries migrated its electronic serial holdings to a fully integrated commercial e-resource management system. Now, with two years of experience under our belts, we endeavored to take stock and analyze how our library is coping with e-serial management within this new environment. How accurate are our e-journal holding statements within the ERM? How effective are we at managing e-serial title changes? How well are we tracking journal purchases that fall outside of the big package deals? Throughout this study, we have encountered many of the benefits and pitfalls of managing electronic journals within a knowledge base-driven system. While using a commercial ERM and companion MARC record service has allowed the library to present better data to users and expose previously hidden collections, there are several new challenges that we must contend with in a knowledge base environment. A common issue hindering access to our e-journals is the supply of incorrect, outdated or incomplete metadata within the data supply chain. These metadata problems have a detrimental effect on libraries, and consequently on our users, as it affects the accuracy of our e-journal holdings within our e-resource inventories. Although the study began as an internal investigation of our e-serials management practices and workflows, the results highlight the need for greater standardization within the data supply chain, better communication with publishers and knowledge base providers, and increased collaboration to improve the e-resource management process.

This document discusses communicating changes in digital library services. It begins with an agenda and questions to gauge the audience. Communications is defined as a two-way conversation with a common goal. Change communications is a strategic process to engage stakeholders during a project. Case studies from OCUL, Scholars Portal, and the University of Toronto illustrate communications plans and lessons learned. Effective communications require understanding stakeholders, channels, and goals to build relationships and transparency around changes.
This document summarizes a session from the 2013 International Conference on Dublin Core and Metadata Applications that introduced Schema.org and discussed how it is being adopted. Schema.org is a vocabulary used to describe things on the web and aims to improve the web by creating structured data markup supported by major search engines. The session was moderated by Richard Wallis and included guests from Google, Yandex, Europeana, and the BnF discussing how Schema.org can be used to represent bibliographic information and how it can help libraries be where users are finding information through search engines.
This document discusses library linked data and the future of bibliographic control. It begins by asking what library linked data means and why it is important now. To combine the best of libraries and the web, metadata must be on the web and open for others to use. The principles of linked data are described, including using URIs, HTTP URIs, providing useful information in RDF, and including links to other URIs. The building blocks of linked data like RDF and triples are explained. Examples of existing library linked data projects are provided. The BIBFRAME initiative to develop a new framework to manage library data as linked data is outlined.
This document provides an introduction to the semantic web and library linked data. It discusses how library data is currently siloed but moving towards being published as linked open data using semantic web standards. Key points covered include the principles of linked data using URIs and RDF triples, examples of library linked data projects, and how RDA is being developed to support linked data. The goal is to make library data more accessible and useful by integrating it into the larger web of data.
The document discusses challenges with managing electronic resources due to issues with metadata from content providers. It summarizes that incorrect, outdated, or incomplete metadata from publishers can lead to resources not being discoverable by users or libraries unaware they own content.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
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.
