Leading with Technology: Social Media Tools and Mobile Apps for 21st Century...Cheryl Peltier-Davis
There is significant value in using Social Media and Mobile Apps in social, political and economic spheres of activity. Within these areas, social media tools such as Blogs, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook share a common usage in supporting internal communication, collaboration, news aggregation, teaching, learning and knowledge sharing. Are there similar benefits for using social media within the spheres of Leadership and Management in Libraries? How are 21st century Library leaders utilising social media to enhance services in their organisations and connect and communicate with stakeholders? What are the opportunities and challenges associated with using social media in Libraries? This presentation seeks to address these issues.
It highlights some of the core competencies (professional and personal) that is required for library leaders to function effectively in a technologically driven environment and introduces emerging trends and concepts - cloud storage, crowdfunding, makerspaces, MOOCs, news aggregation, photo and video sharing, self-publishing, social networking, video conferencing, visualization - that can be readily adopted and adapted (‘mashed up’) in libraries and other knowledge repositories. The goal is to develop and share a toolkit of resources for 21st century library leaders who are willing to use Social Media and Mobile Apps to engage their communities, reshape and add value to the effective delivery of innovative library services.

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.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Editor's Notes
Quick intro for both of us 5min
(Led by EG) Objectives of the session, any from the floor? 2min
Printing press – 1 st scholarly journals, allowed the easy communication of scientific discoveries. Authorship became profitable/ meaningful. This changed how people wrote. Because the same information landed on the same page things like, the citing of references, page numbering, tables of contents, indices etc Changed how people read – from oral readings to silent private readings Changed languate. Latin declined as the use of national languages increased Boosted adult literacy. Increased peoples ability to get information Development of copyrigtht laws to protect the notion of intellectual knowledge In the industrial revolution Newspapers became possible.
Large scale broadcast media. TV, phones, faxes, video, radio, photocopying, global travel, etc etc
Currently, we are in the ‘beginnings’ of the digital age. And just as it would have been impossible in 1440 to predict the impact upon society of the printing press and later the impact of electricity, we are still yet to live through most of the changes in society that will occur during this digital age.
Until the end of the twentieth century, only a relatively small and wealthy fraction of the human race could broadcast television programs, publish newspapers, create encyclopaedias; by the twenty first century, however, inexpensive digital computers and ubiquitous Internet access made the means of high quality media production and distribution accessible to a substantial portion of the world's population. Rheingold 2008 (https://www.socialtext.net/medialiteracy/index.cgi) Youtube: 20 hours of new videos are uploaded to the site every minute, streams 1.2 billion videos/day Technorati tracks 37,500 new blog posts per hour Facebook: More than 300 million active users, More than 8 billion minutes are spent on Facebook each day Twitter.com: 475,000 unique users in Feb 08 rising to 7,038,000 in Feb 09 which is an increase of 1382% in a year
(Led by EG) Break into groups of about 4 Think about current activities and tools you use as a researcher, digital or otherwise, and how others may view them. – consider the pros and cons of these different tools Also have a think about how technologies can be used to help support those activities. 5min Feedback to the group 5min
(Led by EG) Now we have discussed some of the issues you face, consider how you are viewed and assessed by others around you in the research world. These activities are probably the main way other researchers and academics know who you are and what you do. Are there any other activities you would like to add to this list?
Like it or not it is very likely that you have a digital identity A good way of seeing the extent of your current digital identity is to search for yourself.
Like it or not it is very likely that you have a digital identity A good way of seeing the extent of your current digital identity is to search for yourself. Task using the sites listed search for yourself. What did you find? Are you happy with it? Is it up to date? Does it showcase you and your research? Is is personal or professional? Could it be improved (if so how?), Pleased…disappointed…worried!? The more you engage with tools such as those on the previous diagram, the more you will see your digital identity enhanced.
Will be being phase in by our Faculty The h -index is an index that attempts to measure both the scientific productivity and the apparent scientific impact of a scientist. The index is based on the set of the scientist's most cited papers and the number of citations that they have received in other people's publications. The index can also be applied to the productivity and impact of a group of scientists, such as a department or university or country. The index was suggested by Jorge E. Hirsch , a physicist at UCSD , as a tool for determining theoretical physicists ' relative quality[1] and is sometimes called the Hirsch index or Hirsch number . Hirsch suggested that, for physicists, a value for h of about 10–12 might be a useful guideline for tenure decisions at major research universities. A value of about 18 could mean a full professorship, 15–20 could mean a fellowship in the American Physical Society , and 45 or higher could mean membership in the United States National Academy of Sciences .[2] A scholar with an index of h has published h papers each of which has been cited by others at least h times.[3] Thus, the h -index reflects both the number of publications and the number of citations per publication. The index is designed to improve upon simpler measures such as the total number of citations or publications. The index works properly only for comparing scientists working in the same field; citation conventions differ widely among different fields.
(Led by EG) Here are 3 examples of using web 2.0 tools to develop your digital identity
(Led by EG) Cristina Mendes Da Costa is a researcher who has gone down the personal route for her blog and website. She has successfully integrated her personal and professional profiles and is well known in the digital world.
(Led by EG) Andrew Gray is Curator of Hepatology at the Manchester Museum. He is passionate about his research on a specific species of frog and has developed this frogblog all about this research area. He has a fabulous reputation through his work on the blog and his public engagement activities so this is a great example of a successful research area blog
(Led by EG) Here are a few activities I brainstormed around researcher roles. I have broken them down into 4 main roles. I have then listed some of the activities you would undertake to fulfil these roles and some tools you might use to complete each activity. When you go away today, have a think about this diagram and design your own strategy for developing a digital identity that works for you.
In this section I want to show some techniques for keeping up to date with information including ‘the literature’
