This document discusses how libraries and librarians need to reinvent themselves using new technologies to remain relevant. It notes that simply admiring libraries will not protect them from becoming extinct, like pandas. The document suggests that in a year's time, libraries should have implemented more interactivity, such as group collaborative spaces, as well as mobile and multifunctional self-service options. Emerging technologies like 3D printing could also reshape library spaces. Specific examples mentioned include drive-in libraries and dedicated spaces for young people to help libraries become the new people's network for discovering, borrowing, and sharing information.
Through the lens of the Striving Styles, each of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) 16 Types comes alive. Discover which quadrant of the brain the INTP prefers to use and the predominant, innate psychological need that drives the INTP's behavior as well as how an INTP can leverage their whole brain in order to develop and achieve their potential.
The SSPS shows that each of the four quadrants of the brain has their own role, or function, to play in our personality and our consciousness. Based on Jung's Theory of Psychological Type, we are hard-wired to prefer one function or quadrant over the others and we use each quadrant or function in either an inwardly or an outwardly way.

ACCU16 "Let's Not Repeat the Mistakes of SOA: 'Micro' Services, Macro Organis...Daniel Bryant
The technology changes required when implementing a microservice-based application are only one part of the equation. The business and organisation will also most likely have to fundamentally change. In an ideal world, this shouldn’t be a problem - what with the rise of agile, lean and DevOps - but this is not always the situation Daniel encounters in his consulting travels. He would like to share with you some stories of successful (and not so successful) strategies and tactics he has used over the past four years when introducing service-oriented architecture into organisations.
Join Daniel for a whistle-stop tour of the business and people challenges that he has experienced first hand when implementing a greenfield microservice project, and also breaking down a monolith. You will discover ‘divided companies’ vs ‘connected companies’, determine the actual impact of conway’s law, briefly touch on the lean startup/enterprise mindset, dive into change management without the management double-speak, and look at the lightweight processes needed to ensure the technical success of a microservices implementation.

The Library as a gamechanger in times of social crisisLiz McGettigan
TURNING WHISPERS INTO ROARS – THE LIBRARY - THE GAMECHANGER IN TIMES OF SOCIAL CRISIS
As the threat from Covid-19 increased, library services across the world rapidly realigned, this period saw a dramatic transition to online-only provision of library services, operations, access to collections, and audience engagement at an unprecedented speed. This DIGITAL PIVOT provided a shift for us from collections to connections to supporting our communities, their learning, the caring and new programming. It is a unique moment in time for us to explore opportunities and experiences during this period of extraordinary and rapid service realignment. Now is the time to capitalise on how libraries have supported their communities, to build on the success and promotion that the digital pivot provides. The opportunities this has presented for the library’s audience to shift, grow and change, bringing more people into contact with the library, in different ways, and for different purposes.
Public libraries have lived with disruption of some sort for hundreds of years. These are some of the technologies that already have and are about to turn things upside down again

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

• What is really essential about
libraries and librarians, today and
tomorrow?
• How do we balance the best of

• What mindshifts do we need to
make?
• What makeovers?
• How do we add the

LIBRARIES ARE LIKE PANDAS
A big part of our business model has been based on the fact that books were scarce and information was hard to find, The public library’s role was once to equalise access to the knowledge and skills required for Joe Public to learn, thrive and succeed and the means to do that was books.
Fast forward and that currency moved from books to equalising access to the internet and online information.
Fast forward again and now the job is equalising access and skills around the new and fast developing technologies from coding and circuit making to self-publishing and augmented reality.
You wont hear me talk a lot about books today and you will hear many librarians don't like e.g. "business,“ income “ customers, advertising," "promotion," and "ROI." Accepting these terms and embrace their function can revolutionize the culture and expand the reach of your library.
Libray use is massive!
Our competition is fierce.
What are we up against in terms of “time – poor” customers and their expectations? Googleshops, Starbucks, McDonalds, Apple??? All providing fab locations and excellence in customer experience.
Like us McDonalds are providing free Internet access and gadget bars and gaming but with the added value of better burgers and coffee. Confronted with huge competition libraries must redefine themselves, their services, business models, and missions. How do we find a new narrative that could shape the cultural changes required to invent that new library?
..and all of this does rather beg the question…? What has your library / service got for me in1/2 years time? I used to ask 5 -10 years time? what will a library be/ do be for her?
for everyone t experiment with new technologies but it needs some serious leadership and creative thinking
I know from the work I do that the space the customer or community wants is critical
Equally so is understanding the shift in customer behaviour to much more visual and interactive way of absorbing information.
People want to touch , contribute, create and to get involved
Learning on giant discovery tables / I pad lets our customers add and interact alone or in groups – Case study has shown amazing results with adults and children with attention or learning difficulties
Great for local history and heritage workshops and classes
Touch, contribute learn! This is an expectation from toddlers too!

Self service
What a hoo hah! But it is now in place almost everywhere enabling staff to support customers everywhere
Staff counters are gone and staff are interacting on the floor with customers on content, accounts and many other information areas

I was fortunate to be at the NEXT library festival in Denmark and amazed at what has been achieved. But it was achieved through serious and constant work with the community – Listening, talking learning
The result amazing fabulous spaces for everyone and every age It was about building a place for dreams – an extraordinary place to make extraordinary people
E Library
Some new spaces
What about a drive-in Library?
If I had time I’d show you this short film about a drive in library – It came from listening to customers - an answer to busy customers problems
What’s missing from these 4 images?
A library without books was once unthinkable. Now it seems almost inevitable. That decision will be just one milestone in the rapidly developing identity crisis of 21st-century libraries.
I believe If in talking to people they want emerging technologies more than they want books, libraries have to respond to that, even if it means closing up shop and moving entirely online.
This also came from listening to customers - an answer to customers needs
These extraordinary spaces clearly make extraordinary people
