Draft slide deck by Nancy Shute detailing how journalists are using social media, and some thoughts on how journalists are using Web 2.0 tools to create new publishing platforms.
The document discusses attracting young people to the librarianship profession and addresses the barriers and potential solutions. It notes a staffing crisis as older librarians retire. New professionals identify barriers as invisibility of the profession, negative stereotypes, qualifications required, poor career advice, and lack of opportunities. To attract young people, they recommend increasing awareness through promotion on social media and addressing stereotypes that librarians only work with books by emphasizing the technology skills required. Changing public attitudes is ultimately needed to attract young people to the profession.

The document discusses attracting young people to librarianship as a career. It finds that over half of current librarians are nearing retirement age, but not enough young people are entering the profession. Young people and librarianship students were surveyed to understand their perceptions of librarianship and barriers to entering it. Key barriers identified were stereotypical images of librarians, lack of awareness about librarian roles and career opportunities, and poor careers advice. Possible solutions discussed include increasing awareness, marketing, and addressing negative stereotypes.

Serverless Data Architecture at scale on Google Cloud Platform - Lorenzo Ridi...Codemotion
This document discusses processing tweets about Black Friday using serverless data architecture on Google Cloud Platform. It describes:
1) Using Google Cloud Pub/Sub to ingest tweets in real-time and guarantee delivery at scale.
2) Running a Python application that filters tweets and publishes them to a Pub/Sub topic using containers and Kubernetes for scalability.
3) Building a Cloud Dataflow pipeline that reads from Pub/Sub, formats tweets, analyzes sentiment with Natural Language API, and writes results to BigQuery for querying and visualization.
