OpenAthens Conference 2018 - Trevor Hough - Case study - University of Leeds
The University of Leeds chose to implement OpenAthens single sign-on for online library resources to replace its aging SHIBBOLETH system. OpenAthens offers a cloud-based SAML authentication service that is interoperable with existing technologies and provides centralized reporting on resource usage. The implementation will occur in two phases - replacing the on-campus SHIBBOLETH with OpenAthens, then updating off-campus access points. This will create a unified single sign-on system across the university, replacing the three previous user experiences.

Pikas Developments In Sci Tech Search Web Search U 08
The document summarizes developments in science and technology search and their impact, including:
1. Increased digitization of repositories has made more full text and data available in searchable formats.
2. Computer processing of digitized information has enabled new capabilities like semantic markup, deep indexing of tables and images, and structure searching of chemicals.
3. Social computing technologies allow scientists to collaborate and share information in new ways like through blogs, wikis, and video sharing.
It Innovation – Web 2 Point 0 Speed Briefing Additional Slides
The document discusses various ways that libraries are using Web 2.0 technologies to improve services, including interactive public websites implemented by Cuyahoga County and Lancashire County library services, the "23 Web 2.0 things" program at Charlotte Mecklenberg Public Libraries, Lantern and Engage online ordering systems, and uses of wikis, blogs, and forums on library intranets to share information about events and other resources.
Updating The Standard Model
The document proposes updating the standard Garvey-Griffith model of scholarly communication to account for new dimensions introduced by social computing technologies. The current model is limited as it does not capture the blurring of formal and informal communication or ephemeral and archival works. Social computing technologies enable new forms of interaction and sharing of information online. A revised model is needed that considers additional dimensions like completeness, access, and intended versus actual audience.
Dillehay Presentation
Bette Dillehay, Director of Mathews Memorial Library in Mathews, Virginia, presented on engaging local government managers as library partners. She provided background on Mathews County, which has a population of 9,200 and is known as a popular retirement destination. Her presentation discussed how local government managers can use libraries to achieve community priorities through joint strategic planning and ensuring library missions align with community goals. She also outlined various governance models, library assets, service roles, and steps libraries can take to become more engaged in their communities.
Small measures big changes
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation supports public libraries in developing countries through its Global Libraries Initiative. The initiative aims to provide access to information and communication technologies for underserved communities. IREX implements the Biblionet program in Romania, which aims to modernize public libraries and increase access to information for Romanians. The program provides computers, training for librarians, and support for the library association. It also runs a Community Project Contest to encourage innovation among Romanian libraries. Winning projects engage communities and leverage technology, such as digitizing local history for a Russian village library. The program has connected over 1,600 libraries since 2008.

Innovative Libraries: Tales from the Stacks
This document summarizes a study on innovative practices in libraries. Library managers were interviewed to understand how they support innovation given barriers like limited budgets and staffing. Key findings include:
Managers foster informal brainstorming and experimentation. They mentor staff and allow time for exploration. Both formal processes and informal flexibility were used. Failures were seen as learning opportunities, not failures.
Leadership that embraces new technologies and ideas is important. An atmosphere of low-risk experimentation and a focus on user needs also support innovation. Successful managers cited passion and having fun as keys to their approach.
Blogs for Information Management
Blogs can be useful tools for both personal information management and project team collaboration. For individuals, blogs allow one to easily capture and organize ideas, notes, and research in a searchable online format. This makes it simple to retrieve information later. For teams, blogs provide a shared space where members can linearly communicate updates and have discussions. This forces information into a centralized archive that new members can access to quickly get up to speed. Key benefits include automatic version control, attribution of contributions, and the ability to access the blog from anywhere.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
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.
- These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.
