Seeing the Library through the Terminator's Eyes: Augmented RealityRachel Vacek
Augmented reality is a location-aware technology that can help libraries widen access to resources and promote services to users in exciting and innovative ways. This emerging technology superimposes layers of computer-generated content such as 3d images, photos, and data over what you are looking at in real-time. This session will explain augmented reality and highlight potential uses and real world examples of how libraries are using this technology to promote, market, outreach, teach, and engage with users in new and exciting ways.

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.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

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).

Editor's Notes
This presentation was given to a live audience at the 2nd joint conference of the Visual Resources Association and the Art Libraries Society of North America, March 24th to March 28 th , 2011, and was the first half of a talk given with Heather Cleary during a session titled “Engaging New Technologies” Organized by Meghan Musolff, University of Michigan and moderatedby Betha Whitlow, Washington University in St. Louis. Why did we include mobile computing in this panel? Mobile phones and other devices are an increasingly central to our user's lifestyles. Even if they aren't used primarily for scholarly pursuits at this time, the field of mobile computing is rapidly advancing and the art library/VR community needs to be ready to capitalize on users' habits.The Horizon Report 2011 categorizes Mobile Devices in the One Year or Less to adoption category. AdMobalso surveyed smartphone users in February 2010 to find that Android and iPhone users spend 80 minutes each day using apps.Image credit: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3154/2979124681_a61a18d810_b.jpg
Experts agree that 2011 is the tipping point for mobile technologies. While they have been gaining relevance over the past decades, from now on they will become integral to the first-world lifestyle. In the 4th quarter of 2010, smartphones surpassed PCs in number of units sold. 100.9 million smartphones vs. 92.1 PCs.#
The Horizon report defines mobile computing as “the use of the network-capable devices.” This includes smartphones, tablet devices, e-book readers, netbooks, and (technically) laptops - even digital cameras that can send photos directly to Flickr or movies to YouTube qualify under the definition.Netbooks are stream-lined, lighter-weight laptops designed for travel. They offer word-processing and internet browsers, but are not typically designed to support applications that require large amounts of memory or processing power. Screen real estate is also typically smaller.http://www.flickr.com/photos/ekosystem/3153286618/sizes/z/in/photostream/Tablet is a flat personal computing device designed for viewing and interaction through a touch-screen interface. These devices may also recognize handwriting as a means of input.http://qasimsahi.blogspot.com/2011/01/world-is-going-to-change-it-self.htmlHopefully we’re all aware of ebook readers and their purpose & functionality. We made the not to focus our session on these since even devoting the entire 15-minute slot to them wouldn’t do justice to the complex issues libraries face with these.

Overall top-selling operating systems Android surpassed Apple’s iOS in market share in 2010. It is important to understand that the dominant operating systems dictate much of the market, including which apps are available for particular devices. This is somewhat analogous to the browser war in the late 90s.http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/301359#ixzz1GgoUDt33
Library Catalogs: (1 minute)Many of the examples we’re showing you can be found from the M-Libraries portion of the Library Success: A Best Practices WikiWorldCat– If your library is participating in theirUnion Catalog, your users can find your records on their mobile devicesLib Anywhere provided by LibraryThing – a way for users to interact with their local library catalog, incluidng seeing hours, directions, events, newsletters, and mobile catalog search. This is a paid service, however they say that the cost is low.Santa Clara Public Library – search mobile catalog, renew, place holds, see suggested reading lists, contact info. Blog and twitter. This is the most expensive option for making your catalog/library mobile-friendly. This requires ample programming knowledge, on a contract with a company like Boopsie.Hunter College Libraries – As opposed to the first three samples, which were native apps, this is a web app. This means that instead of writing code that can be downloaded and installed on a device, this website has simply been made mobile-friendly. When you navigate to this page on your mobile device, the browser detects that it should display a mobile version of this page. This is probably the least expensive option.
Library Databases and Resources:Many of these (Wilson and EBSCOhost) simply need to be turned on in your admin module. Others can be downloaded by users directly to their devices.WilsonWeb[web] - good: turn it on on adminGale’s Access My Library appEBSCOHost – not optimal for mobileJSTOR [in Beta]Lynda.com - great, though web portal login works on iPad not iPhone; cons: only for Apple iOSNaxos Music Library app
Art & Design AppsTaschen – shopping for art books. This app takes advantage of the iPad’s display capabilities. Bavarian State Library – makes their special collections available to users any time, any place
