Scholarly Communication and You: Liaison Outreach Strategies
The document discusses issues related to the scholarly communication system and the role of liaison librarians in addressing faculty concerns. It notes that faculty face challenges from the perceived mixed messages around scholarly communication. Liaison librarians can help unify the message and make connections. The document then provides background on the traditional scholarly communication life cycle and economic model and how new open access models are emerging as disruptions to the traditional system. It suggests ways for liaison librarians to engage faculty through activities like conducting environmental scans of their disciplines and answering questions about author rights and open access options.
LibGuides training
The document provides an overview and instructions for creating and managing guides using LibGuides. It covers setting up a profile and guide, adding different types of content like text boxes, links, images, and databases. It emphasizes designing guides with students in mind by including visual interest and integrating information literacy skills. Guidelines are provided around consistency, collecting information, using feedback, and collaborating with teaching staff.
Embracing Undergraduate Research; Creating the 'Arsenal'
The Center for Undergraduate Research (CURS) at Georgia Regents University (soon to be Augusta University) offers strong support for faculty-led undergraduate research. In collaboration with a student organization, the program director of CURS contacted the GRU Libraries to investigate how to start an undergraduate research journal for the university and identify a venue for publishing undergraduate research.
Since the University Libraries recently helped develop an open-access journal for the College of Education, which is hosted in the institutional repository, two librarians were able to utilize this experience and provide guidance to CURS and the student organization. They worked together on the creation of Arsenal: The Undergraduate Research Journal of Georgia Regents University (Augusta University),a new open access journal specifically aimed at publishing undergraduate research of current students. This session will discuss the process of establishing the journal’s identity, developing policies and processes, hosting and publishing the journal, as well as some of the challenges faced.

Shaping Expectations: Defining and Refining the Role of Technical Services in...
From trial to implementation, technical services staff play an important role in shaping awareness of, and expectations for, new resources. Internally, technical services staff provide information and instruction to public services staff. Externally, they influence how new resources are integrated into the library website and other platforms. With appropriate “message control,” technical services staff can positively influence awareness of new resources while keeping everyone’s expectations in check.
During fall 2015, technical services staff at Georgia Southern University adopted a protocol for new resource rollouts that explicitly times and structures internal and external communications to ensure that all library staff are ready to support new resources as they go live. This protocol focuses on providing appropriate lead-time notifications to public services staff and “training the trainers” first, prior to releasing any external communications. Furthermore, this protocol integrates with activities of the library’s promotion committee, supporting smooth transition to public services promotion of new resources.
During this session, presenters will discuss this protocol in detail, with special emphasis on timing of internal and external communications, the importance of providing sufficient staff training and support materials early on, and the importance of maintaining objectivity and accuracy in all rollout communications and assets. Presenters will share protocol planning tools and worksheets, describe how these are integrated into implementation workflows, and engage participants in discussion about the role of technical services in new resource rollouts.

Serach, Serendipity & the Researcher Experience
Presenter: Lettie Conrad, Executive Program Manager, Discovery & Product Analysis, SAGE Publishing
When considering academic researchers’ information-seeking and retrieval needs, we often focus on search – optimizing for search, Google-like search for libraries, user preferences for one-box quick-search tools, and so on. But what about unplanned instances of discovery? Are new technologies, such as text mining and natural language processing, enabling new pathways that lead researchers to relevant material, perhaps even leading to surprising new connections across disciplines? Conversely, with the prevalence of satisficing, does serendipity even play a role when searching for information about a scholarly topic?_x000D_
Through a study of undergraduate students and their faculty members, as well as a survey of publisher and website offerings, this talk will summarize common user pathways and how today’s students and faculty use content recommendation tools with recommendations for how libraries and the scholarly communications community might respond.

Is what's 'trending' what¹s worth purchasing?
Presenters:
Stacy Konkiel, Outreach & Engagement Manager, Altmetric
Rachel Miles, Kansas State University Libraries
Sarah Sutton, Assistant Professor in the School of Library and Information Management at Emporia State University
New forms of usage data like altmetrics are helping librarians to make smarter decisions about their collections. A recent nationwide study administered to 13,000+ librarians at R1 universities shines light on exactly how these metrics are being applied in academia. This presentation will share survey results, including as-yet-unknown rates of technology and metrics uptake among collection development librarians, the most popular citation databases and altmetrics services being used to make decisions, and surprising factors that affect attitudes toward the use of metrics. This presentation will also offer actionable insights on how altmetrics are being paired with bibliometrics and usage statistics to form a more complete picture of “trending” scholarship that’s worth purchasing. Through sharing the survey results and opening up a discussion about the potential altmetrics hold for informing collection development, the presenters aim to provide a learning opportunity for attendees which will enhance their competencies for e-resource management, specifically, core competence for e-resource librarians 3.5, use of bibliometrics for collection assessment, and 3.7, identity and analyze emerging technologies.

The Canadian Linked Data Initiative: Charting a Path to a Linked Data Future
As libraries prepare to shift away from MARC to a linked data framework, new convergences in the metadata production activities of our libraries' technical services units, special collections, and digital libraries are becoming possible. In September 2015, the Canadian Linked Data Initiative (CLDI) was formed to leverage the existing collaboration between the Technical Services departments of Canada’s top 5 research libraries and the Library and Archives of Canada. Working cooperatively, our objective is to provide a path to linked data readiness for our institutions and leadership for the adoption of linked data by libraries across Canada. To achieve this goal, partner libraries are working across departments and institutions to create new workflows and tools and adapt to a new conceptual understanding of descriptive metadata. This presentation is a preliminary report on the progress made in five key areas of interest: digital collections, education and training, MARC record enhancement, evaluation of linked data tools and vendor supplied metadata. Building on existing initiatives, the CLDI is investigating the potential of integrating linked data elements into digitized collections, as well as MARC-based bibliographic and authority records, with the aim of fostering new and interesting pathways for resource discovery. To strengthen and expand the professional knowledge of staff, partner institutions are collaborating in the production of educational and training materials related to linked data principles and practices. The evaluation and potential development of linked data tools is another area of concentration. Finally, with the goal of changing workflows upstream, the CLDI is working to engage publishers and vendors in the linked data conversation. In addition to reporting on the work undertaken in the first year of the project, this presentation will also cover lessons learned and outline some of the new opportunities gained from working on a collaborative project that spans across multiple boundaries.

Sloop -- Digital Literacy: Faculty Design & Needs
This document summarizes the process undertaken by a committee at Vanderbilt University to develop recommendations for advancing digital literacy among faculty. The committee interviewed department chairs and developed a working definition of digital literacy. They recommended a badge system to recognize three prongs of digital literacy: critical thinking, digital production, and computational thinking. The badges could be earned through classes, workshops, or demonstrated skills. Additional recommendations included making digital tools and support available, producing instructional videos, and emphasizing digital literacy in faculty development programs. Next steps involved vetting the badge system, establishing the technical implementation, and providing resources to support digital literacy across the university.
Free and Open Educational Resources for Online Education
This document discusses free and open educational resources (OERs) in online learning. It defines OERs, open courseware, and open textbooks, and notes that they are free online resources that can be used, reused, and adapted with attribution. The document outlines where to find these resources, such as in aggregation sites and repositories. It discusses the benefits of OERs, including cost savings, abundance and diversity of content, and flexibility of use. However, it also notes issues with finding, aggregating, and distributing these resources consistently.
What ARE we thinking? Collections decisions in an Academic Library
When faced with multiple competing priorities for investment in library resources, there are many important aspects to consider. From student enrollment to prominence of programs, there are both data-driven and intangible factors to weigh. In addition, most library collections now focus on the immediate needs of students and researchers instead of collecting for posterity. This just-in-time versus just-in-case collection development mindset prioritizes different resource attributes and requires an often unfamiliar level of acquisitions flexibility.

This document summarizes a presentation given at LILAC 2016 about the opportunities and challenges for practising librarians who become researchers. It discusses how being a researcher can help librarians be better at their jobs by giving them researching, writing, and networking skills. It also addresses how taking on an identity as a researcher, rather than just supporting researchers, can influence how librarians see themselves and are seen by others. The presentation suggests librarians join communities of practice, read widely, present at conferences, and pursue doctoral programs to further develop their skills and identities as producers and partners in the production of knowledge.Affordable Learning Ohio
The document discusses Ohio's Affordable Learning initiative, which was awarded a $1.3 million grant from the Ohio Department of Higher Education. The grant supports open educational resource adoption and creation through various partnerships between Ohio colleges and universities. OhioLINK is coordinating efforts around awareness and advocacy, the Open Textbook Network, discovery and visibility of resources, and creation and collaboration on an open online commons called Open Ohio. The document outlines OhioLINK's role and lists ways that libraries can help support the initiative through activities like metadata work, resource identification, and connecting local campus efforts to statewide initiatives.
OER Module 3 - Locating OER
The document discusses key issues around open educational resources (OER) including discoverability, licensing options, copyright concerns, quality, and sustainability. It notes that OER are siloed without standardized metadata making them difficult to find. Licensing options through Creative Commons provide varying levels of openness for reuse and remixing. Copyrighted materials make up most of what students use and fair use defenses are expensive. Quality of OER is a concern without traditional peer review though studies show students perform equally well with OER. Sustainability challenges include gaining buy-in, technical infrastructure, partner support, and ongoing funding streams as OER do not generate profits for institutions.

Persuasive Proposals for increasing electronic resources
This document provides tips for creating persuasive proposals to increase electronic resources and library services. It recommends collecting comprehensive data on campus demographics, existing surveys, e-journal usage, interlibrary loan, and website usage to identify needs. Budget information should be included to show how the resource supports strategic plans and current funding gaps. Qualitative feedback from librarians, faculty, and students can strengthen the proposal. Well-chosen quotes and visuals can help sell the idea. The proposal should have a lean, focused format with hard data, soft qualitative evidence, and a compelling conclusion.

V4 Powell Outcome Mapping Easy Eco Vienna 2008
The document summarizes an evaluation of Outcome Mapping (OM) as a tool for evaluating and monitoring support to civil society organizations in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The evaluation found that OM worked well for civil society evaluation by focusing on outcomes and contributions. OM also played well with other evaluation approaches when combined with qualitative methods, quantitative analysis, and involving boundary partners in planning. The evaluation suggests that sustainability depends on focusing evaluation on real people, differentiating boundary partner levels and influence, and focusing on key individuals rather than organizations. OM provides a useful approach when combined with other tools in a "patchwork" rather than sole methodology.

GNSS spoofing via SDR (Criptored Talks 2024)
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.
Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.
zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
