notes from the conference

Keynote speaker: Lauren Di Monte  http://sched.co/955P 

Debating Data Science – a roundtable http://rhr.dukejournals.org/content/2017/127/133.abstract

Lauren

how data is produced, collected and analyzed. make accessible all kind of data and info

ask good q/s and find good answers, share finding in meaningful ways. this is where digital literacy overshadows information literacy and this the fact that SCSU library does not understand; besides teaching students how to find and evaluate data, I also teach them how to communicate effectively using electronic tools.

connecting people tools and resources and making it easier for everybody. building collaborative, open and interdisciplinary

robust data computational literates. developing workshops, project and events to practice new skills. to position the library as the interdisciplinary nexus 

what are data: definition. items of information, facts, traces of content and form. higher level, conception discussion about data in terms of social effects: matadata capturing information about the world, social political and economic changes. move away the mystic conceptions about data. nothing objective about data.

the emergence of IoT – digital meets physical. cyber physical systems. smart objects driven by industry. . proliferation of sensor and device – smart devices.

what does privacy looks like ? what is netneutrality when IoT? library must restructure : collaborate across institutions about collections of data in opien and participatory ways. put IoT in the hands of make and break things (she is maker space aficionado)

make and break things hackathons – use cheap devices such as Arduino and Pi.

data literacy programs with higher level conception exploration; libraries empower the campus in data collection. data science norms, store and share data to existing repositories and even catalogs. commercial services to store and connect data, but very restrictive and this is why libraries must be involved.

linked data and dark data

linked data – draw connections around online data most of the data are locked. linked data uses metadata to link related information in ways computers can understand.

libraries take advantage of link data. link data opportunity for semantics, natural language processing etc. if hidden data is relative to our communities, it is a library responsibility to provide it. community data practitioners

dark data

massive data, which cannot be analyzed by relational processing. data not yield significant findings. might be valuable for researchers: one persons trash is another persons’ treasure. preserving data and providing access to info. collaborate with researchers across disciplines and assist decide what is worth keeping and what discarding and how to study.

rich learning experience working with lined and dark data enable fresh perspective and learning how to work with data architecture. data literacy programming.

open practices  https://www.data.gov/

in context of data is different from open source and open projects. the social side of data science . advising researchers on navigation data, ethical compilations.

open science movement .https://cos.io/ pushing beyond licences and reframe, position ourselves as collaborators

analysis and publishing ; use tools that can be shared and include data, code and executable files.

reproducibility and contestability https://www.lib.ncsu.edu/events/series/summer-of-open-science

Python and Raspberry Pi. jupitor notebook server,
she is advocating for faculty not only being the leader but the DOERs of basic fucntions, which SCSU IT is rigorously fighting to keep for themselves. The sad part is that the rest of the nation is moving in this direction and SCSU continues to sink in an old 90ish campus structure of leaving IT as the gatekeeprs to functions now widely democratized. 

public libraries: citizen science projects.

her undergrad is visual studies and her grad studies is interdisciplinary studies. only in the information school she got into science.

Putting it all together: a holistic approach to utilizing your library’s user data for making informed web design decisions  (2016 conference)

In the age of Big Data, there is an abundance of free or cheap data sources available to libraries about their users’ behavior across the many components that make up their web presence. Data from vendors, data from Google Analytics or other third-party tracking software, and data from user testing are all things libraries have access to at little or no cost. However, just like many students can become overloaded when they do not know how to navigate the many information sources available to them, many libraries can become overloaded by the continuous stream of data pouring in from these sources. This session will aim to help librarians understand 1) what sorts of data their library already has (or easily could have) access to about how their users use their various web tools, 2) what that data can and cannot tell them, and 3) how to use the datasets they are collecting in a holistic manner to help them make design decisions. The presentation will feature examples from the presenters’ own experience of incorporating user data in decisions related to design the Bethel University Libraries’ web presence.

Making Something Out of Nothing: Building Digital Humanities Partnerships

Keynote Speaker: Patrick Meier

Facebook Live session: https://www.facebook.com/InforMediaServices/videos/1137175723059590/

technology is not dehumanizing, but on the opposite, it is an extend of humanity and humanitarian aid

DH Network (digital humanitarian network)  http://digitalhumanitarians.com/

3d virtual picture of disastrous areas. unlock the digital information to be digitally accessible to all people who might be interested.
they opened the maps of Katmandu for the local community and they were coming up with the strategies to recover. democracy in action

mountain tsunami: http://www.natgeotv.com/uk/seconds-from-disaster/videos/mountain-tsunami

i can’t stop thinking that the keynote speaker efforts are mere follow up of what Naomi Klein explains in her Shock Doctrine: http://www.naomiklein.org/shock-doctrine: a government country seeks reasons to destroy another country or area and then NGOs from the same country go to remedy the disasters

A question from a librarian from the U about the use of drones. My note: why did the SCSU library have to give up its drone?

Building an Ebook Platform from Scratch: Are You Daft?

options in license models .
e resource content. not only ebooks, after it is taken care of, add other types of digital objects.

instead of replicate, replacement of the commercial aggregators,

Amigos Shelf interface is the product of the presenter

instead of having a young reader collection as SCSU has on the third floor, an academic library is outsourcing through AMigos shelf ebooks for young readers

purchasing marketing was built from scratch on PhP. https://laravel.com/

Harper Collins is too cumbersome and the reason to avoid working with them.

security issues. some of the material sent over ftp and immediately moved to sftp

decisions – use of internal resources only, if now – amazon
programmer used for the pilot. contracted programmers. lack of the ability to see the large picture. eventually hired a full time person, instead of outsourcing. RDA compliant MARC.
ONIX, spreadsheet MARC.
Decision about who to start with : public or academic.
attempt to keep pricing down –
own agreement with the customers, separate from the agreement with the Publisher

current development: web-based online reading, shared-consortial collections and SIP2 authentication

new CIO closed the project.
