Plan8 Studios, Inc. is a boutique web development, marketing, and design firm based in the gorgeous Colorado Rocky Mountains in a small, old mining town. You can find out more about the husband-wife team behind Plan8 by following them on Twitter (@plan8studios).
The document is a collection of Flickr photo URLs related to competency development and environmental scanning. It includes 6 photos covering topics like library resources, research and reading. The photos provide visual examples of activities, materials and settings related to keeping up to date with new information and improving one's skills.
The document describes the author's passion for video game development which originated from childhood dreams of being an astronaut or firefighter. While those were childhood aspirations, the author's love for video games led them to pursue a career making games. They have experience with programming, 3D modeling, and working on game design elements like menus and screens. Their ideal work environment would be at a large company like 343 Industries or independently from a small home office. Ultimately, their definition of success would be to create games that people enjoy playing through a career in the video game industry.
Marketers are increasingly using more subtle techniques that don't rely on overt advertising messages. This "stealth marketing" aims to build authentic connections with potential customers through engaging content and conversations rather than traditional promotional tactics. As brands look to establish trust in this way, the line between marketing and other communications will continue to blur at events like SXSW.

In 1957 an article in Wilson Library Bulletin complained that with the advent of the telephone at the reference desk, librarians couldn't provide appropriate service to patrons that come into the library. These days libraries are trying as hard as they can to provide 24/7 services whether the patron is in the library or not. In this session, Michael Sauers, Technology Innovation Librarian, at the Nebraska Library Commission takes a look at some of the state of the art technologies that are starting to be implemented in libraries today, and then presents technologies that you may not have even heard of yet, that may just change how libraries serve their communities.

Next to Google, Wikipedia is the major source of information used by people today. But libraries also own much content that isn't available on Wikipedia, so how should we make sure users don't stop there? In this session, Aaron Tay, Senior Librarian & eServices Facilitator at National University of Singapore, will cover ideas on how to link resources from Wikipedia to library resources using various tools including John Mark Ockerbloom's Forward to Libraries service. In the opposite direction, libraries can also move in and use Wikipedia entries to enhance findability of their collections.

Libraries have been offering programming for decades, and in many cases the model has been, "Let’s plan a program, promote it, and see who shows up." This approach hasn’t changed much, even with social and technological changes, not to mention the pandemic and streaming programs. Program planning with a marketing mindset starts with identifying your customer’s needs and wants, then developing programs and services to meet those needs and wants. We’ll discuss how to use research – quantitative and qualitative – to plan and market programs that will engage your customers. We’ll talk about "bundling" programs and services for different audience segments. We’ll also cover how this more strategic approach can save time and resources for your library.

While every library is unique, they all seem to share one thing in common: they could use more money! Grant funding might be the just thing to help buy technology for STEM programming, get a new service initiative off the ground, or complete a renovation. But applying for grants can be overwhelming – and that’s assuming you can even find one for which you qualify. This session aims to introduce you to the tools to make the grant application process more easily navigable. In this session, Kathryn will provide tips for putting your best foot forward when it comes time to submit your proposal. Handouts include a roadmap to success and descriptions of various sections of the application.

Have you wondered if your library's website needs some work? How do you decide that, without being subjective? How do you know what to measure, or how to measure it? There are many current standards for content, images, navigation, usability, and more that can be readily applied to your website, allowing for a more objective analysis of what you currently have. A website audit can provide a valuable framework, especially before beginning a full or even partial redesign of your library's site. Learn about data-based principles that can guide your future work and discover some tools that can provide concrete specifics for elements that may need attention.

A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.

AI 101: An Introduction to the Basics and Impact of Artificial IntelligenceIndexBug
Imagine a world where machines not only perform tasks but also learn, adapt, and make decisions. This is the promise of Artificial Intelligence (AI), a technology that's not just enhancing our lives but revolutionizing entire industries.
Confidence – don’t be psyched out by what you don’t know; have confidence that you can successfully work through and solve many more problems than you think you can! Just because you have “no clue” when the patron presents their problem to you, doesn’t mean you can’t discover clues and ultimately solve the mystery. (Think of yourself as a detective. Or a doctor trying to diagnose a patient)
Not every problem can be solved right away, with one exchange of information with the patron. I often tell people this up front – “this might take several back and forths between you and me and me and tech support, but if we’re patient and hang in there we should arrive at a solution.”
Type of computer and eReader or mobile device being used? Type of file being downloaded? (Maybe they are trying to download a format that won’t work on that equipment (e.g., PDF on mobile device). Or maybe there are unique problems that sometimes crop up with that equipment.Even though they may sound confident about the steps they follow, I try to walk them through the process “to help me try to pinpoint where the problem happened.” (e.g. book checked out, gray download button, click open, when downloading did ADE open? Do they see book in ADE? Plug in device – do they see device? Drag and drop book from ADE to device….)Google error message
The more eReader/eBook tech support you do, the better you will get at picking up clues based on what you hear AND WHAT YOU DON’T HEAR. Are they talking about .acsm files? Show them how to change default file association Or moving files between the Digital Editions folder on their computer and a folder on their eReader? Do they say they see their purchased B&N books, but not their library books?
What has changed since it last worked?Wife’s internet stopped working. I’d installed a network monitoring program on my computer the previous day.
There are many forums out there for eBook lovers. Some are device specific, others are broader, but users of these forums ask each other questions and help each other solve problems. You will probably find that someone else has already asked about this problem and received a solution.
