MongoDB is a popular NoSQL database. This presentation was delivered during a workshop.
First it talks about NoSQL databases, shift in their design paradigm, focuses a little more on document based NoSQL databases and tries drawing some parallel from SQL databases.
Second part, is for hands-on session of MongoDB using mongo shell. But the slides help very less.
At last it touches advance topics like data replication for disaster recovery and handling big data using map-reduce as well as Sharding.

On Again; Off Again - Benjamin Young - ebookcraft 2017BookNet Canada
Over the past year, the world’s leading browsers have added features enabling web applications and publications to “phase shift” between online and offline states. Surrounding these new features is a growing set of communities broadly coalescing around the term “offline-first.” In this talk, we’ll take a look at some of the key bits of technology being used by these new phase-shifting applications, as well as how the W3C’s Digital Publishing Interest Group is exploring these (and other ideas) for possible use in Portable Web Publications.

Archives work is messy -- in many cases archivists have to organize and make accessible large amounts of mixed data in a variety of formats, both physical and digital. Thankfully, there are a variety of technology tools available to help solve the messiness problem and make collections more accessible. In this session, audience members will learn about current and emerging archival technology tools, the pros and cons of the major tools, and resources for further education.

PoolParty is a world-leading semantic technology platform focusing on standards-based management of taxonomies and ontologies.
Its outstanding text mining capabilities based on controlled vocabularies open up new options for masterdata and information management.
Try out a powerful thesaurus management system and entity extractor. See how easily knowledge models can be generated with PoolParty, and learn how linked open data can enrich your own thesaurus. Get an impression how simple it is to publish a knowledge model as linked open data and test our text mining component.
PoolParty Thesaurus Server (PPT) is an advanced software platform to manage enterprise metadata and linked data based on semantic knowledge models (taxonomies, thesauri, ontologies and knowledge graphs). PPT´s metadata management is based on W3C´s Semantic Web standards RDF, SKOS and OWL and is combined with text mining and linked data mapping technologies. PoolParty´s API (based on W3C´s SPARQL standard) allows the integration of semantic technologies with other systems like search engines, CMS, DMS, web shops or Wikis. In addition, PoolParty Enterprise Server offers outstanding facilities based on PoolParty Extractor that allow text mining over large document collections.
PoolParty knowledge modeling approach combines best-of-breed approaches of the semantic web (text corpus analysis, entity extraction, linked data enrichment, SKOS thesaurus management). This enables thesaurus managers to build, maintain and publish even the largest and most complex knowledge models built on top of RDF Schema and SKOS.
Application scenarios
web-based thesaurus-, vocabulary- and taxonomy-management based on open standards;
(semi-)automatic annotation and categorisation of documents with high precision;
thesaurus- and linked data publishing on the web and on the intranet (Sharepoint, Confluence etc.) as a basis to build semantic mash-ups;
data integration from different sources (structured and unstructured) based on flexible metadata models;
Description of the origins and development of the BookServer architecture and the Open Publication Distribution System (OPDS). Why OPDS Catalogs can help build a web of books. Discussion of the challenges ahead.

Catalog Enrichment for RDA - Adding relationship designators (in Koha) [text]Stefano Bargioni
Relationship designators are used to specify the relationship between a resource and a person, family, or corporate body associated with that resource. This presentation shows how they were added to the catalog of the library of the Pontificia Università della Santa Croce, in new and -mostly automatic- to legacy records. The Name Cloud, a way to navigate the catalog through related authors, is also shown.

Usually, important catalogs are accessed for copy-cataloguing whole records. It is possible to retrieve "atomic" information too, using unique keys like ISBN.
Library at Pontificia Università della S. Croce developed a tool that allows Dewey retrieval and insertion into bibliographic records, in bulk mode as well as in single record mode, i.e. during cataloguing.
During the bulk process, Dewey classification was added to about 20,000 records, retrieving it from OCLC, Library of Congress and some national libraries, up to 7 external sources.
The single record mode was integrated into the Koha ILS, to make easier to assign Dewey classification during cataloguing.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

o online retrieved / locally stored
● Ebsco Content Cafe, Google Books,
Amazon, Syndetics, Baker and Taylor,
OpenLibrary,…
● API, source URL
● Available in OPAC results
Book covers in ILS
3. Book covers in OPAC results
Often, thumbnails are retrieved by the web
client from a cover provider
● your server passes the source URLs or a
script that allows to compose the URLs
● very low server load
Or the ILS (like VuFind) passes the images:
● it acts as a gateway or proxy
● high server load
● the server can cache thumbnails
4. Storing images related to
bibliographic records (1)
Available sources:
● Cover providers, depending on their
licensing
● WorldCat or other big library catalogs
● Any other website
● OpenLibrary, even bulk download
5. Storing images related to
bibliographic records (2)
● A feature of your ILS
o hides complexities
● Custom solution
o you have to define some methods to retrieve
cover images from the web, store, and
include them in your ILS web pages
● An intermediate solution
6. Local cover images in Koha
● Koha >= 3.8 manages local cover images
● Koha cover images management is
evolving
● More images can be attached to each
bibliographic record
● They are stored in a SQL table, in PNG
format
● Some APIs are available
7. An intermediate solution
using Koha
We added:
● an easy way to choose and store images
● order of display:
o local cover
o remote cover
