The document summarizes the development of an open source reference desk software by the Victorian Parliamentary Library. It describes the existing manual workflow for handling client queries that involved multiple separate steps. The new software integrates LDAP authentication, captures statistics, and allows queries to be added to a reference knowledge base. It was built with Java using the Play! framework and follows an MVC architecture with Hibernate and JPA to simplify the workflow and address problems with the prior manual system.

Are you looking for ways to edit your catalog records more efficiently, transform your library data from one format to another, and easily detect misspellings and other inaccuracies in your metadata? MarcEdit and Open Refine are powerful tools that can help you deal with all of these issues. Emily Nimsakont, Head of Cataloging & Resource Management, Schmid Law Library, University of Nebraska - Lincoln, will show how you can harness the power of these tools to make your work easier.
In this webinar, David Walters and Christopher Daley from Brunel University London explore the complexities of the current UK open access (OA) policy landscape and examine the concurrent emergence of open science services which aim to provide global OA data. Using the results of their recent study, they will consider whether the global data on open access activity offered by services such as Sherpa REF, CORE and Unpaywall can enhance publication data held within institutional systems. These results will assist discussion of how local, institutional systems may be able to provide a more complete picture of collaborative OA activity through greater interoperability with global data services.
OSFair2017 Workshop | How FAIR friendly is the FAIRDOM Hub? Exposing metadata...Open Science Fair
Carole Goble presents the FAIRDOM | OSFair2017 Workshop
Workshop title: How FAIR friendly is your data catalogue?
Workshop overview:
This workshop will build upon the work planned by the EOSCpilot data interoperability task and the BlueBridge workshop held on April 3 at the RDA meeting. We will investigate common mechanisms for interoperation of data catalogues that preserve established community standards, norms and resources, while simplifying the process of being/becoming FAIR. Can we have a simple interoperability architecture based on a common set of metadata types? What are the minimum metadata requirements to expose FAIR data to EOSC services and EOSC users?
DAY 3 - PARALLEL SESSION 6 & 7
In this webinar, Roy King, a Senior Product Manager for SharePoint, will provide a basic overview of SharePoint Server’s capabilities and how it can be successfully applied in a mission-driven organization. If you are unfamiliar with SharePoint, but curious to learn more about when and why you may consider adopting it, this introductory webinar is a great place to start. We will help you understand not just the potential benefits, but also what issues to look for before adopting SharePoint Server 2007.
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 is a comprehensive set of tools that – when well supported and deployed – can help nonprofits and libraries improve their collaborative efforts by making it easier to capture and share institutional knowledge both internally and externally. Microsoft donates SharePoint 2007 to eligible organizations through TechSoup, but you may need help determining if this tool is the right fit for your organization.

Managing Information Overload
Presenter: Kathleen Brockel
We are bombarded by an avalanche of information each day. We have to remember relevant facts about our cases, while running from duty to duty and juggling the needs of the multitudes. We try to stay above water by relying on our ability to remember the "important" stuff. We lay awake at night running through the lists of things we need to remember to do. We use a calendar to let us know where to be and when. We do our best to outrace the pending crisis. There is a better way.
In this session, we will explore a system developed by David Allen called Getting Things Done (GTD). We will: understand the theory; practice applying the system; explore how the system can be modified to fit our realities and personalities; discuss techniques for managing email; be shown a number of quick free tricks to save time and track information; and learn how to plan and implement projects
DLF ILS Discovery Interface Task Force API recommendationeby
The DLF ILS Discovery Interface Task Force was charged with creating a technical proposal that would provide standardized integration between integrated library systems and external applications, better enabling libraries to replace their OPAC with an external discovery system. This talk would provide background for the project and an overview of the recommendation (hopefully published by code4lib 2008), as well as address how the library developer community can contribute to API implementation. More information and current work on the recommendation are available: https://project.library.upenn.edu/confluence/display/ilsapi/Home. A breakout session could facilitate further feedback and discussion of next steps.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

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.
