•Download as PPT, PDF•
0 likes•275 views
The document discusses the concept of "perpetual beta" or iterative design in software development. It describes treating users as co-developers by continuously releasing new features and improvements based on user feedback, rather than following a traditional release cycle. It then summarizes three projects at a library that applied this concept, and provides lessons learned, such as setting clear expectations, getting ongoing user feedback, and being willing to discontinue projects that are not successful.

SC 2015: Thinking Fast and Slow with Software Development
In the international bestseller ‘Thinking, Fast and Slow’, Daniel Kahneman explains how we as human beings think and reason, and perhaps surprisingly how our thought processes are often fundamentally flawed and biased. This talk explores the ideas presented in the book in the context of professional software development. As software developers we all like to think that we are highly logical, and make only rational choices, but after reading the book I’m not so sure. Here I’ll share my thinking on thinking. Topics that will be discussed include; the ‘Availability Heuristic’, which can lead developers to choose the ‘latest and greatest’ technology without proper evaluation; ‘Optimistic Bias’ which can blind architects from the ‘unknown unknowns’ within a project; and more!

DLJCJUG 2015: The Seven Deadly Sins of Microservices
All is not completely rosy in microservice-land. It is often a sign of an architectural approach’s maturity that in addition to the emergence of well-established principles and practices, that anti-patterns also begin to be identified and classified. In this talk we introduce seven deadly sins that if left unchecked could easily ruin your next microservices project...
This talk will take a tour of some of the nastiest anti-patterns in microservices, giving you the tools to not only avoid but also slay these demons before they tie up your project in their own special brand of hell. Topics covered include: Pride - selfishly ignoring the new requirements for testing; Envy - introducing inappropriate intimacy within services by creating a shared domain model; Wrath - failing to deal with the inevitable bad things that occur within a distributed system; Sloth - composing services in a lazy fashion, which ultimately leads to the creation of a “Distributed Monolith”; and Lust - embracing the latest and greatest technology without evaluating the operational impact incurred by these choices.
Conferenza Pymaemo
Il talk prevede una breve introduzione alla piattaforma Maemo ed ai Nokia Internet Tablet, sia dal punto di vista dell'utente comune, sia da quello dello sviluppatore.
Verrà poi spiegato come configurare ed installare l'ambiente Scratchbox, il principale ambiente utilizzato per sviluppare applicazioni per Maemo.
Infine verranno presentati due plugin per Eclipse: ESbox e PluThon. Il primo si interfaccia con Eclipse e Scratchbox, permettendo di sviluppare sia applicazione C/C++ che Python e di testarle all'interno dell'ambiente Scratchbox. Il secondo è un plugin specifico per Python e permette di eseguire e debuggare le applicazioni direttamente sul dispositivo.

Where is Carbon by Alvaro
Carbon is found in many forms throughout the natural world including in shells, plants, animals, rocks, water and air. It is a key component of life on Earth that cycles through the biosphere, lithosphere and atmosphere in rocks, fossil fuels, the oceans, atmosphere and living things. Carbon also enters the atmosphere through natural processes like volcanoes and fires.
Where is Carbon by Jessica
Carbon is found in many forms across the natural world including plants, animals, rocks, water, and the atmosphere. Specifically, carbon can be found in shells, plants, wood, coral, animals, gasoline, natural gas, coal, and as a trace gas in the atmosphere. Carbon cycles through ecosystems as it is absorbed and released by living things and geological processes.
Climate Impacts Tanya
This document discusses the impacts of climate change on various ecosystems. Wetlands and coastal marshes will dry out, reducing habitat for plants and migratory birds. Forests and tropical regions will see changes in vegetation patterns as drying occurs. Boreal forests will experience more insect infestations and fires. Arctic and low-lying island habitats will shrink. Deserts will expand and dry further. Coral reefs will be damaged by rising water levels and temperature changes.

Agile Methodology For Software Development
Here are the key advantages and disadvantages of using an Agile Scrum methodology for software development projects:
Advantages:
- Iterative approach allows for frequent delivery of working software and ability to adapt to changes more easily.
- Self-organizing cross-functional teams are better able to respond to changing priorities and requirements.
- Daily stand-up meetings promote regular communication and status updates.
- Sprints provide a fixed timebox to focus effort and keep projects on track.
Disadvantages:
- Upfront planning is reduced which can impact scheduling and budgeting if not managed properly.
- Testing and documentation may be reduced as focus is on working software over documentation.
- Requires buy-in and

Obstacles to Agility
Presentation by Joan Starr at Code4Lib 2007 in Athens, GA
Academic digital libraries face serious challenges in trying to adopt agile project management techniques. While there have always been significant differences between how an academic and a corporate team might solve a problem, today, digital library and corporate offerings are often in direct competition. Time-to-market is more important than ever before. This talk will identify the most troublesome characteristics of academic bureaucracies and make suggestions for working around these obstacles.

Why developing research software is like a startup (and why this matters)
When we think about the software used in research and science, we might think of the commercial packages with thousands of users, or the millions of lines of code that support experiments such as the Large Hadron Collider, or indeed the millions of scripts written every day by researchers across the world to undertake simple tasks. What is clear is that modern research relies on software: a recent survey of UK researchers conducted by the Software Sustainability Institute reported that 92% of researchers used software, and 69% could not conduct their work without it. Millions of dollars are invested each year in supporting a quasi-industry of software production, with the equivalent of the full-spectrum from large multinationals and tiny cottage industries, but little is known about whether this is efficient or indeed appropriate. This talk will examine the similarities between the development of software in the research environment and the lifecycle of technology startup companies. It will also consider the driving factors behind adoption of software and the impact of software sustainability on the ability to conduct research.

UCD Workshop - Shad MUN 2008
This document discusses the principles of user-centered design. It emphasizes the importance of understanding users, conducting research to learn about their needs and tasks, and involving users throughout the design process. Some key user research methods mentioned include wants and needs analysis, card sorting, group task analysis, and contextual interviews. The document stresses that good design starts with the user, and that consulting with and keeping users as the central focus leads to designs that best solve the problems users face.

Best Practice Information Architecture
This presentation will examine the purpose and application of information architecture for the so-called ‘next generation’ of information tools, including blogs and wikis. We will introduce ‘needs based’ information architecture, the methodology used for organising and designing information-rich environments in a way that allows people to use them more easily. We will then look at how the best practice principles behind this approach apply equally well to emerging technologies.
Presented at Open Publish 2007, by Patrick Kennedy of Step Two Designs.
Web 2.0 - principles and implications
The document discusses the principles and definitions of Web 2.0. It defines Web 2.0 as transitioning websites from isolated information silos to platforms serving applications to users, with an emphasis on open communication, decentralization, sharing content, and collective intelligence. Key aspects of Web 2.0 include user participation, tagging content to organize it, and mixing online services together. Examples provided include Wikipedia, Flickr, and social media platforms. The implications discussed are students and users helping create and contribute content, and a more personalized web experience with greater sharing of information.
Robert Mc Geachy Common Pitfalls Agile
The document discusses common pitfalls organizations face when adopting agile processes. It notes that without discipline, agile approaches may fail due to lack of closure on work items and endless scope changes. It also highlights challenges with testing, changes in team roles and responsibilities, and difficulties adjusting working styles to more collaborative ways of working. Critical success factors include training, experience adopting agile, and support from experienced practitioners.

Corona ca talk
This document provides an agenda and discussion points for a session on how youth services librarians can help kids and teens distinguish real news from "fake news" in the current media landscape. The agenda covers defining philosophical differences versus dishonest evasions of fact, techniques used in fake news, how it works psychologically, and potential approaches for different age groups: encouraging truth-telling for young kids, news vs ads contests for middle schoolers, and reporter training for high schoolers. The discussion emphasizes the need to go beyond just facts by appealing to values of honesty and fairness when counteracting fake news.
How Publishers Can Thrive in an Open Access Marketplace
The document outlines potential scenarios for the future of scholarly publishing and open access. It predicts that immediate open access will become the default for publishing, starting in biosciences. Article processing charges may rise faster than inflation for top journals. Peer review could evolve to be continuous rather than tied to publication. Ideally, the cost of publishing articles would decline as openness and the scholarly process are incentivized. Publishers could provide services assisting researchers in sharing ideas, while funders and societies manage publication and librarians curate online content.
UCSF Talk -- How to Think, How to Be
A talk about critical thinking and information literacy, presented at UC San Francisco on November 21, 2016.
Mla Nih 2009 Final
1) The document summarizes a presentation about the impact of the NIH Public Access Policy, which requires researchers receiving NIH funding to submit copies of published research papers to PubMed Central.
2) A survey found that 83% of UCSF researchers were aware of the policy, 45% were required to comply in the last year, and most figured out compliance on their own. Interviews revealed that researchers saw benefits but concerns about publisher burdens.
3) While more time is needed to fully understand the policy's impact, initial findings suggest researchers' attitudes are positively impacted and benefits outweigh negatives.
Public Access Short Presentation Ucsf Modify
The document provides an overview of the NIH Public Access Policy, which requires researchers receiving NIH funding to submit final peer-reviewed manuscripts to PubMed Central upon acceptance for publication. It discusses the goals of increasing access to taxpayer-funded research and complying with copyright law. It also outlines requirements for compliance, such as submitting manuscripts to NIHMS or including PMCIDs in citations when referring to applicable articles.
Photo Album Cunningham
The document provides a photographic overview of the facilities and resources available at the International Medical University Library. It includes photos of the entrance and lobby, cafe, reserve collection, AV materials, theses, textbook collection, leisure reading area with newspapers, magazines and TV, computers, book shelves, medical museum, study areas, discussion rooms, theatrette, phone room, pigeon hole, and library office. The chief librarian, Hasbullah Atan, took the photos showcasing the library.
Reflections of a Somewhat Weary Open Access Supporter
The document provides rueful reflections from an open access supporter on unproductive debates between proponents and critics of open access. It discusses anti-open access propaganda, distortions from some proponents, and unfair criticism of programs like HINARI that provide free or low-cost access to resources for researchers in developing countries. The document concludes that open access publishing and traditional publishing models are fighting over a dying model based on paper, and that in the future all parties can work together productively in the post-journal article world of "datuments" and interactive digital content and packages.
Perpetual Beta Final
The document discusses the concept of "perpetual beta" or iterative design in software development. It describes treating users as co-developers by continuously releasing new features and improvements based on user feedback, without waiting for the product to be perfect. It then summarizes three projects at a library that took this approach and discusses lessons learned, including setting clear expectations, being open to criticism, establishing a realistic pace of change, getting user feedback, considering dependencies, and being willing to end projects that are not working.
Lwb Open Forum Presentation
The Librarians Without Borders Task Force presented recommendations from their work including establishing an international service award, developing a website to aggregate MLA's international activities, suggesting collaborations with other groups focused on global health literacy, and proposing a mechanism for MLA members to provide information assistance in times of crisis. They discussed accomplishments setting up the international service award and potential future roles for the International Cooperation Section. Recommendations included formal partnerships between MLA, NLM, and NN/LM to facilitate librarian assistance during disasters.
Information Visualization Using Visual Search Methods
EbscoHost has added visual search capabilities to many of its medical and other databases, allowing users to search for information visually using concepts like maps, graphs, and image searches. Visual search tools available on the web include Grokker for general web searches, Kartoo for creating concept maps, and Idee for searching for similar images. References are provided on the topic of visual searching and its potential benefits.
Health Sci Biblioblogosphere 2
The document summarizes surveys conducted by Marcus Banks on the health sciences biblioblogosphere. The surveys aimed to understand the goals of librarian bloggers and their readers. Key findings include that the main reason for blogging was as a source of ideas, and most readers acted on blog content sometimes. While blogs helped clarify thinking for some authors, others found little impact on their practice. Readers were more likely to act on blogs than email lists due to easier tracking of discussions.
