Scheduled Twitter Campaigns in Your LibraryRobin M. Katz
The document discusses using Twitter to schedule tweets in advance for library outreach goals. It recommends scheduling tweets to save time, work as a team, spread out content, ensure comprehensive coverage, plan ahead, and strategically repeat content. The session teaches how to plan a sample Twitter campaign and schedule tweets. Attendees learn about instructional, general, and evaluative uses of scheduled tweets for libraries and are encouraged to use these tools to meet their outreach and communications objectives.
This is the research/database PPT that Ben created and reviewed with the class two years ago. I think you created a more modern and cleaner version last year?
Presentation given by Natalie Wardel and Janelle Hanson at the Utah PIO Conference in Sept. 2013. How to Pitch Media, public relations tips, and social media tools to use as well as some ideas and best practices for police officers, state agencies, etc.
It is not new to say that the scholarly communication system is sick. One way to put it is that the publishers have built a paywall around the papers written by our faculty and make us librarians pay for it.
For years, Open Access via the green and gold route have been touted as a joint solution. To this end, as academic librarians, we focused on building institutional repositories and getting open access mandates. However, recently, many prominent members of the open access community have begun to express doubts about the viability of institutional repositories as a solution given the lack of success.
Some, like Stevan Harnad self-dubbed “Open Access Archivangelist” for Green Open access, claim to have given up, while others, like Eric Van de Velde, suggest that we rethink other ways to accomplish Green Open access beyond just institutional repositories. In this webinar, we will summarise all the arguments and attempt to give a librarian’s point of view about the future of IRs.

Maximizing Social Capital to Increase Core Facility Exposure and UsageRyan Duggan
Ryan Duggan discusses strategies for maximizing social media usage to increase exposure and usage of core facilities. He recommends establishing an online presence through various social media platforms to demonstrate expertise, interact with peers and the public, and create advocates. As funding is uncertain and shifting towards clinical research, social media can help diversify a core facility's user base and connect with non-traditional groups. The key is to establish social capital online through consuming, curating, and creating content.

My talk from Carnegie Mellon's HCII Seminar on April 24, 2013.
Abstract:
On some social media platforms, such as Twitter, Youtube, Pinterest, and tumblr, much of the content generated by users is publicly accessible and communication can be easily initiated between strangers who have never previously communicated before. The communities that have risen up around these platforms, particularly on Twitter, can also be inclusive and supportive of interactions between strangers. The public and open nature of these communities creates an opportunity to create a new kind of crowdsourcing system, where individuals are identified who may be good candidates to complete various tasks based on their published content. We explore the potential of such a system through several information collection tasks, examining the response rate and information quality that can be obtained through such a system. We also explore a means of leveraging users' previous social media content to predict their likelihood of response and optimize our system's collection behavior. At IBM Research - Almaden, we are now looking to extend these ideas to additional domains, including proactive and reactive customer support, and precision marketing campaigns.
This document provides links to various resources about social media usage and strategy. It discusses topics like the usage lifecycle of social media, whether social media is a fad, demographics of social media users like teens and older women, and how companies can use platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and blogs for marketing, customer service, and sales. Examples of tools are provided for activities like listening on Twitter, increasing Twitter followers, creating RSS feeds, and embedding social profiles in websites.
This document discusses using R for Twitter data analytics. It outlines the basics of Twitter data analytics using R, including collecting real-time Twitter data, text mining techniques for Twitter data, and sentiment analysis. Some key steps involved are exploring the Twitter corpus, preprocessing the text by removing stopwords and stemming words, creating a document-term matrix, and calculating TF-IDF weights. Cosine similarity is used to measure similarity between text documents. The goal is to extract useful patterns and insights from large amounts of Twitter data in real-time.
Digital Challenges and Opportunities in Community NewsSteve Buttry
The document discusses both challenges and opportunities for community news organizations in developing their digital presence. It notes that print audiences will decline while digital audiences will grow, and that rural connectivity is increasing. It provides tips for community news organizations to try digital tools like Facebook, Twitter, video and Storify to better reach and engage their digital audiences. Specific advice includes how to use social media for breaking news, engagement, verification and connecting with communities.
Twitter can be an efficient way for scientists and journals to share information, with benefits like engaging specialists, promoting vetted research, and finding interested users, though content should be posted strategically at peak times and in a way that maintains scientific integrity and avoids overt marketing. Proper use of applications and a personal touch can help journals effectively distribute content and establish networks with the scientific Twitter community.
As a result of the advent of internet technologies supporting participation on the internet via blogs, wikis and other social networking approaches, chemists now have an opportunity to contribute to the growing chemistry content on the web. As scientists an important skill to develop is the ability to succinctly report in a published format the details of scientific experimentation. The Royal Society of Chemistry provides a number of online systems to share chemistry data, the most well known of these being the ChemSpider database. In parallel the ChemSpider SyntheticPages (CSSP) platform is an online publishing platform for scientists, and especially students, to publish the details of chemical syntheses that they have performed. Using the rich capabilities of internet platforms, including the ability to display interactive spectral data and movies, CSSP is an ideal environment for students to publish their work, especially syntheses that might not support mainstream publication.

An Introduction To The Use Of Widgets in librariesAaron Tay
1. Widgets are small web applications that can be added to websites, blogs, and desktops to provide dynamic content and functionality. Examples include search tools, calendars, maps, and social media badges.
2. Libraries commonly use widgets to promote resources by embedding searches, links to pages and databases, and RSS feeds. Custom toolbars and bookmarklets can also be used to enhance online services.
3. Popular pre-made widgets can be easily added to pages by copying embed codes. Alternatively, widgets can be created using tools that generate code from RSS feeds without programming skills. More advanced customization requires knowledge of technologies like JavaScript.
EndNote is software that stores and organizes references from various sources and inserts citations into a Word document in a predefined citation style. It allows importing references through direct export, importing text files, online searches, and manual entry. References can be organized into groups and searched. Citations can be inserted into a paper using Cite While You Write and EndNote will automatically format the references and bibliography.

[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...Jason Yip
The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

ScyllaDB is making a major architecture shift. We’re moving from vNode replication to tablets – fragments of tables that are distributed independently, enabling dynamic data distribution and extreme elasticity. In this keynote, ScyllaDB co-founder and CTO Avi Kivity explains the reason for this shift, provides a look at the implementation and roadmap, and shares how this shift benefits ScyllaDB users.

• Do tweet, if is serious problem you can
solve – e.g. Website down
• Do not tweet (at least immediately), when
user is sprouting vulgarities.
• Do not tweet, if user is breaking library
rules.
• Do not be too eager to tweet, unless
tweet is stated as a question. e.g How do
