The document discusses virtual reference services that libraries can offer. It defines virtual reference as delivering personalized reference resources to users outside the physical library. Some benefits of offering virtual reference include helping achieve the library's mission, reaching more users, and providing resources regardless of location or time. Virtual reference can be delivered through various formats like email, chat, webliographies and frequently asked questions pages. The document also discusses technologies, software options and costs associated with setting up and maintaining virtual reference services.

The Web 2.0 is here and it’s changing everything that we do on the Internet! Library 2.0: A New Version for the Future looks at how library systems and services fit into this user-centric world where dynamic, Web-based tools, online communities, and the ability to personalize everything drive one’s computing environment. In this day-long seminar we will look at how people are using technology (in and out of the library) and explore the the mindset of library users. We will also take a look at specific Web environments, tools, and applications that are currently shaping the information landscape.
Reinventing the ePortfolio with Open BadgesSerge Ravet
How Open Badges and the Open Badge Infrastructure (OBI) could be the foundations for a new type of ePortfolio, the Open Passport allowing the creation of 'holographic identities' based on the establishment of bottom-up trust networks.
How could Open Badges Transform ePortfolio Practices and Technologies! Serge Ravet
Looking at the history of ePortfolio practice and technologies over the last 10 years, one is entitled in asking: what has changed? Is the ePortfolio technology we have today that different from what we had 10 years ago? While there is certainly a wider spread of ePortfolios, have ePortfolios transformed practice or been assimilated by institutions?
Open Badges are the opportunity to reinvent ePortfolio technology and practice, and create the conditions for an effective shift of the locus of power from institutions to individuals and communities. Shall we be able to seize this opportunity?
ePortfolio, behind whatever label, is now a fact of life. A look at some of the research in response to the question. Includes data about Google, LinkedIn, Facebook. Digital Identity = ePortfolio.

sers of Institutional Repositories and Digital Libraries are known by their needs for very specific information about one or more subjects. To characterize users profiles and offer them new documents and resources is one of the main challenges of today's libraries. In this paper, a Selective Dissemination of Information service is described, which proposes an Ontology-based Context Aware system for identifying user's context (research subjects, work team, areas of interest). This system enables librarians to broaden users profiles beyond the information that users have introduced by hand (such as institution, age and language). The system requires a context retrieval layer to capture user information and behavior, and an inference engine to support context inference from many information sources (selected documents and users' queries).

Linked Data Love: research representation, discovery, and assessment
#ALAAC15
The explosion of linked data platforms and data stores over the last five years has been profound – both in terms of quantity of data as well as its potential impact. Research information systems such as VIVO (www.vivoweb.org) play a significant role in enabling this work. VIVO is an open source, Semantic Web-based application that provides an integrated, searchable view of the scholarly activities of an organization. The uniform semantic structure of VIVO-ISF data enables a new class of tools to advance science. This presentation will provide a brief introduction and update to VIVO and present ways that this semantically-rich data can enable visualizations, reporting and assessment, next-generation collaboration and team building, and enhanced multi-site search. Libraries are uniquely positioned to facilitate the open representation of research information and its subsequent use to spur collaboration, discovery, and assessment. The talk will conclude with a description of ways librarians are engaged in this work – including visioning, metadata and ontology creation, policy creation, data curation and management, technical, and engagement activities.

lecture presented by Elvira B. Lapuz at PAARL’s Seminar /Parallel Session-workshop on Library and Web 2011 (Holy Angel University, Angeles City, Pampanga, 19-20 August 2010)
The modern library web environment consists of multiple content sources and applications that perform essential functions that often overlap and could potentially create a fractured user experience. For example, content in a library’s Drupal website may be replicated in LibGuides or WordPress blogs. Search functionality in a discovery platform may be replicated in a federated search tool or the ILS OPAC. This presentation provides tips, tackles technical and political challenges to building a single web experience for users, discusses solutions and use of APIs (application programming interfaces), provides concrete examples, and more.
Keynote Speaker: Matt Goldner, Executive Director, Cooperative Collection Services, OCLC
Expanding Our Horizons: Reaching for the Limits[PowerPoint]
The future of the library OPAC as a destination information portal is shaky at best. To surface library collections in today's information environment, libraries will have to move toward exposing themselves in multiple locations and through multiple methods. Looking at some of the successful ways OCLC has been able to surface the library's full capacity can give libraries one way to consider their futures.
There’s been a lot of buzz about the emergence of the Web 2.0 and how it’s changing everything that we do on the Internet. Launching the Library 2.0 looks at how library systems and services fit into this new user-centric world where dynamic Web-based tools, online communities, and the ability to personalize everything drives one’s computing environment. Come see how the Library 2.0 is being envisioned, the tools that make it work, and how it will affect everything that you do.

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.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
