Greatest Hits from Pew Internet’s Library Research
Greatest Hits from Pew Internet’s Library ResearchPew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project
Presenting the latest and greatest from the Pew Internet Project's library research, Director Lee Rainie spoke at the Computer in Libraries 2013 Conference on Tuesday event, during its "Innovative & Awesome Tech" session.HACKED: Change in the Culture of the Library
Two libraries share their virtual, hacked, and successful journeys. UMR is a new campus with a totally virtual library. Students conduct research exclusively online. The librarian’s role, instead of being diminished by the absence of books, has increased in importance and urgency. Teaching students to access information and disseminate its importance is the focus of information literacy for UMR’s campus. At DeLaMare, the library went from being full of books (and no students) to a vibrant knowledge hub. Incorporating maker resources and encouraging a hacking mentality, DLM successfully changed its library culture from passive to passionate. The staff’s dedication to the success of their students created an organic space where students learn, make, hack, discover, geek out, and hang out. Adopting the maker culture helped DLM become a central figure in the university’s mission for excellence in teaching and learning.
Successful Academic Library Makeover - Internet Librarian 2015
For thousands of years libraries have been connecting people and technology; makerspace in libraries offers seemingly unlimited potential for springboarding learning, discovery, innovation, and entrepreneurship. How much is real, and how much is hype? From 3D printers and laser cutters to microprocessors and robotics toolkits, hear examples of everything that's gone wrong-and the things that have gone right that make it all worthwhile.

Keynote address at the Information Technology in Education itie 2016 conference held in Wuhan, China:
On the surface, makerspace and academic libraries might seem an incongruous match. The ever-changing, and seemingly chaotic environment of makerspace contrasts starkly with the stereotype of the quiet and reserved academic library. Sharing lessons learned while transforming an underutilized branch library into a vibrant hub of collaborative and problem-based learning, Colegrove explores emergent roles of makerspaces in university libraries, effecting learning, teaching, and serving the general community. Rather than an artifact of a bygone era, specific examples drawn from the DeLaMare Library at the University of Nevada, Reno, demonstrate that libraries today can offer a powerful platform of transformation that crosses disciplinary and organizational boundaries. Equipped with non-traditional technology such as 3D printers and laser cutters, and staffed with personnel skilled at catalyzing active learning and engagement, discovery, innovation, and collaboration become everyday occurrences across the physical commons of the library. A depth of learning occurs in parallel with classroom instruction as the adjunct spaces and resources of the library become intertwined with the classroom, amplifying the efforts of both. Discover how learning and discovery lead naturally to outreach, innovation, and entrepreneurship in this motivational exploration of practice in a 21st-century university library.How Makerspaces are Changing the Way We Teach and Learn 创客空间如何改变着我们的教学方式
The DeLaMare Library at the University of Nevada, Reno, was one of the first academic libraries in the United States to implement makerspace – a library where novel services such as 3D printing and scanning became routine. Equipped with non-traditional library technology ranging from laser cutters to micro-programmables and virtual reality hardware, and staffed with personnel skilled at catalyzing active learning and engagement, the library has witnessed an explosion of creativity: discovery, innovation, and collaboration have become everyday occurrences. Named one of the most interesting makerspaces in America, highlights of the transformation are shared by the library’s director: Colegrove explores emergent roles of makerspaces in university libraries, effecting learning, teaching, and serving the general community in a revitalized role that goes beyond catalyzing learning and discovery to innovation and entrepreneurship.

Over the past decades much has shifted across the landscape of higher education. In the library, print resources are transitioning transitioned to electronic formats and availability, leaving classroom instructors questioning the ongoing relevance of the physical library to the academic mission. This paper explores new and emerging roles of the library in support of the next generation classroom, tracing the evolution of one academic science and engineering library, and sharing lessons learned while transforming an underutilized branch library into a vibrant hub of collaborative and problem-based learning. Within the physical commons of the library, equipped with non-traditional technology such as 3D printers and laser cutters, and staffed with personnel skilled at leveraging that technology in support of active learning and engagement, a depth of learning can occur in parallel with classroom instruction. The adjunct spaces and resources of the library become intertwined with the classroom, augmenting and amplifying the efforts of both. Emergent best practices are identified, along with promising results of early collaborations between the library and the classroom.Technology as Catalyst for Better Learning, Better Teaching
A presentation at the UNESCO-UNIR ICT & Education Latam Congress 2016:
Educational practice continues to evolve, and the supporting organizations with it. From roots grounded deeply in constructivist learning theory, makerspace in libraries is emerging to provide institutional support. Examples of activity associated from one of the first movers of the movement are presented, the product of leveraging technology as catalyst for active learning and engagement within and beyond the physical commons of the library. Specific actions and outcomes are presented; driven by curiosity and engagement on the part of the learner, blending of formal and informal learning appears a natural result, as does innovation and entrepreneurship.
Everyday Leadership in Libraries: Getting Personal
As libraries continue to take on exciting new roles and provide new services in their communities, the need for leadership on all levels within the organization increases. Opportunities for the development of new skills abound, going far beyond management and including interpersonal, project management, consensus building, and even vision/mission creation. Over the span of a few short years the DeLaMare Library at the University of Nevada, Reno, leveraged an approach of open dialogue while bypassing traditional hierarchical boundaries to transform an underutilized branch library into a vibrant hub of innovation, research, and entrepreneurship. Join Tod Colegrove and Tara Radniecki as they share engaging stories, practical tips, and rich insights gained.

Across disciplines, the practice of education continues to evolve; supporting organizations such as the library are responding by reworking existing and developing new practices. With roots grounded deeply in constructivist learning theory, the emerging practice of makerspaces in libraries is proving an effective step in that evolution. Examples of associated active learning activity at one such library, an early adopter and first mover among academic libraries in adopting and integrating makerspace in libraries, are presented. The product of leveraging technology as catalyst for active learning and engagement within and beyond the physical commons of the library, a blending of formal and informal learning, accented by increased innovation and entrepreneurship across disciplinary and organizational boundaries, appears a natural result.Maker Space & Entrepreneur Incubator
A pioneer for makerspaces in academic settings shares how it is sparking imagination and innovation in many ways: from Lego and puzzle kits throughout the library, to 3D printers and laser cutters to design workshops and hack-a-thons. It shares the resources, services, and outreach services that have led students and faculty onto the path of greater innovation and scholarship. Speakers share their experiences on why and how we can get started, as well as challenges and solutions. They also share strategic vision for the future on the development of the makerspace as incubator for young entrepreneurs and how this could fundamentally change how higher education provides a new context for students gaining real-life experience, job skills, and connect what they are passionate about to what they are learning.

Libraries are thinking beyond the box—collaborative areas are opening up in spaces formerly devoted to densely packed bookstacks, and academic libraries are experimenting with widely expanded roles and forms of knowledge creation. Rather than a future where the library has been outmoded, join Tod for an inspirational and exciting romp: from library as maker space to partner in entrepreneurial enterprise; third place and home away from home, to home of hackathons, science and maker faires. As the pace of change accelerates, with new tools, opportunities, and potentially disruptive technology appearing almost daily, is this a brave new world of library practice or a return to libraries' roots?Work Ready/College Ready: Repurposing Library Spaces to Make an Impact

Bridging STEM to STEAM in the Academic Library
A presentation at the science librarians orientation, American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Annual Meeting 2013, Boston, MA:
the DeLaMare Science & Energy Library is actively working to dissolve traditional institutional boundaries in the library between the sciences, art, and engineering; transitioning from traditional STEM support, we’re building up STEAM in the library. This presentation offers rationale, along with a brief presentation of work being done to leverage the "unreasonable effectiveness" of recently introduced 3D printing and scanning services to meet needs of students and faculty across the sciences, engineering, and art.

Description: The maker movement is growing across the country and world. With interactive, participatory events and growing local communities, we've seen a shift. Individuals, professionals, and hobbyists from areas such as engineering, design, science, art, and more are coming together with one common thread: the desire to make.
Public libraries were the first on the scene to take notice and respond, but now we're beginning to see academic libraries recognize this untapped potential for their own communities. This emerging learning trend holds the promise of enormous change, bringing many researchers and students together from across disciplines in a truly collaborative way. This movement is about more than just the purchase of expensive equipment; it involves engagement, outreach, and knowledge about what drives the academic community. The academic environment is shifting toward content creation in a variety of forms, in turn reshaping learning, curricula, and research across the board. In order for libraries to continue to support the research and learning needs of their institutions, it is critical to go beyond traditional library materials, to understand what new resources and technologies the library can support for all on campus to use. Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a button
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a button
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI support
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.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*
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.
