9:15 AM0:55:00Successes & StrugglesRound-robinThe Code4Lib group is very good at sharing experiences and learning from each other. In our opening session, we will ask you to introduce yourself and briefly give an example of (a) something that you are proud of, and (b) something that you are struggling with. Each person would take 1-2 minutes. Our hope is to generate fodder for breakout sessions and informal discussions.

10:45 AM0:20:00VIAF and Elastic SearchRalph LeVan, OCLC Research I'll give an overview of the technology supporting VIAF and our exercise to switch from our home-grown Pears database loading XML records and move to JSON-based Elasticsearch.
7
11:05 AM0:20:00How not to work during a sabbaticalEric Lease Morgan, University of Notre DameI will outline the set of applications/systems I wrote during my (not a) sabbatical. They include text mining tools, image processing & analysis hacks, MARC data enrichment activities, collection management decision-making scripts, etc.
8
11:25 AM0:20:00Exploring Born-Digital Data and Format Conversion Strategies with DROID and PlotlyMax Eckard, Bentley Historical LibraryI recently dug through about 5 years' worth of born-digital archives processed here at the Bentley. This gave me the opportunity to explore not only our born-digital data--and what it *really* looks like--but also the format conversion strategies we employ as part of our Ingest process.

11:45 AM0:20:00Policies for Data ManagementAbigail Goben, UICI'll review what might be included in institutional policies and what to think about beyond data security for library data and library research data.

1:00 PM0:20:00Audio Preservation and Automating TranscriptionMegan Kudzia, Michigan State UniversityI have been working on a project to automate transcription for a digitized audio oral history collection. This talk will cover: how I automated transcription; how I got the finished audio files and transcripts into our Islandora digital repository; problems that I'm still trying to figure out solutions for; and what I learned along the way.
12
1:20 PM0:20:00Batch-loading Electronic Serials Records while Maintaining High Quality Bibliographic ControlJamie Carlstone, University of Illinois at Urbana-ChampaignI will go over the workflow challenges of batch loading electronic serials MARC records while trying to maintain a high standard of quality. The process requires a circular workflow between OCLC Connexion, MarcEdit, Excel, and Microsoft Access that is far from ideal. I will also discuss a program I am working on that aims to improve upon this process.
13
1:40 PM0:20:00Evergreen, From the Bottom UpDan Wells, Calvin CollegeWe'll explore how Evergreen works from the server side, with particular focus on its unique and powerful underlying framework, OpenSRF.

15
2:15 PM0:20:00Library Gamification in Theory and PracticeKen Irwin, Wittenberg UniversityPeople have been talking for years about bringing gamification ideas into library projects. I will talk about some gamification basics, how I've implemented some of them on one project, and we can discuss other areas in which gamification could be employed.
16
2:35 PM0:20:00Building for Browsing and Discovery with Wagtail, an open-source Django CMSDavid Bietila & Brad Busenius, University of Chicago LibraryAs part our recent website redesign, we sought to build in paths by which users could move laterally between related pages, discovering relevant resources and services without returning to the home page or to the global navigation. We'll present on the data model that we specified to allow these new types of relationships, and on the Wagtail CMS, which enabled us to realize the site that we wanted.
17
2:55 PM0:20:00ChangeRanti Junus and Megan Kudzia, Michigan State UniversityHow do we make our organization|unit|team more accepting of change? How do we overcome preference vs. best practice? How do we know when a change is not the right answer? These are probably questions that we asked when a change is needed. Let's discuss the approach we employed on making change happens, or when we see that our vision of change is not what we think it should be. What works or doesn't for you?

9:00 AM0:20:00Evergreen, From the Top DownRemington Steed, Calvin CollegeWe'll start with a brief overview of Evergreen's features, then dig beneath the surface at the software's various client architectures, including the evolution from XUL, to Dojo, to Angular.
26
9:20 AM0:20:00Wrapping an Image Server in Proxy and Cache BlanketsGraham Hukill, Wayne State UniversityServing images can be a digital object repository's bread and butter, but can touch on logistical and policy complexities. By wrapping the Python based "Loris" image server in a homegrown proxy, and caching with Varnish, we've been able to improve our image delivery, while keeping stakeholders happy as well.
27
9:40 AM0:20:00Architecting Change in Repository CodeDebs Cane, Northwestern University & Avalon Media SystemPresentation on how NU & Indiana plans to “breakup” Avalon’s code (streaming A/V repository solution) over the next few months for easier use from outside coders. I'll also discuss why we’ve made the decisions we’ve made; and the choices we need to make in deciding future pathways for Avalon’s technical and community development.
28
10:00 AM0:20:00Your Rights Statements Are a Disasteramy buckland, University of ChicagoChances are good the rights statements on your digital projects are some degree of special-snowflakeness that makes them impossible to decipher with an institutional decoder ring. Fix that. RightsStatements.org offers some great licenses that everyone should get on board with to ensure our digital collections are actually usable!
