A presentation delivered at the 2010 Creating Futures Through Technology Conference, Biloxi, Mississippi, March 3, 2010

presented at the Seminar on the theme “Basics and Beyond Librarianship: Towards a Compleat Librarian,” held at Holy Angel University, Angeles, Pampanga on September 9, 2009

With the rapid expansion of information technology in modern academic library setting, several libraries nowadays are transforming their services in different ways, including but not limited to the inclusion of social media in their daily operations to outreach their users. This will entail a changing role of librarians to accommodate with this new era of learning by updating their skills to fulfill users’ needs. While the majority of LAU Libraries staff had positive perceptions on the usefulness of social networking tools, the participation of students showed to be limited in addition to hesitancy witnessed among library staff. Benefits and challenges facing library staff in the implementation of social media, will be explored, as well as staff perceptions regarding the usefulness of social networking tools; factors influencing library administration’ decisions whether to use these tools or not will also be analyzed. Facebook, Twitter , YouTube and Instagram are the most commonly adopted apps in university libraries, in addition to Tumblr, Pinterest, Flickr and so on. Last but not least the physical environment needs to be compliant with emerging technologies to go “beyond library walls”.

This study examined librarians' awareness and use of Web 2.0 tools in Anambra State, Nigeria. A questionnaire was distributed to 50 professional librarians who are members of the Nigerian Library Association in Anambra State. The results showed low awareness and use of Web 2.0 tools among the librarians. Social networking sites were the most widely known tools. Academic librarians reported higher use of Web 2.0 tools than librarians from other types of libraries. Communication and self-promotion were the main purposes of tool use cited by librarians. Factors like lack of skills, resources, and access restrictions hindered greater adoption of Web 2.0.

In the professional literature, the term consortia cover a great range of cooperation situation and expressions according to the different contexts and period they were formed and developed. It has long been a precept of librarianship; however libraries have not used it widely until about the 1980s. The prime reason of establishing a library consortium is to share physical resources between member organizations. Through consortia, libraries are coordinating their purchasing to offer the best quality and quantity of resources to their patrons at a lower cost and also to make them available on users’ desktops. “Consortium purchasing is assisting libraries to deal with the increasing pressure of diminishing budgets, increasing user demand, and rising journal cost”

The Linux-kernel memory model (LKMM) is a powerful tool for developing highly concurrent Linux-kernel code, but it also has a steep learning curve. Wouldn't it be great to get most of LKMM's benefits without the learning curve? This talk will describe how to do exactly that by using the standard Linux-kernel APIs (locking, reference counting, RCU) along with a simple rules of thumb, thus gaining most of LKMM's power with less learning. And the full LKMM is always there when you need it!

Are you interested in dipping your toes in the cloud native observability waters, but as an engineer you are not sure where to get started with tracing problems through your microservices and application landscapes on Kubernetes? Then this is the session for you, where we take you on your first steps in an active open-source project that offers a buffet of languages, challenges, and opportunities for getting started with telemetry data. The project is called openTelemetry, but before diving into the specifics, we’ll start with de-mystifying key concepts and terms such as observability, telemetry, instrumentation, cardinality, percentile to lay a foundation. After understanding the nuts and bolts of observability and distributed traces, we’ll explore the openTelemetry community; its Special Interest Groups (SIGs), repositories, and how to become not only an end-user, but possibly a contributor.We will wrap up with an overview of the components in this project, such as the Collector, the OpenTelemetry protocol (OTLP), its APIs, and its SDKs. Attendees will leave with an understanding of key observability concepts, become grounded in distributed tracing terminology, be aware of the components of openTelemetry, and know how to take their first steps to an open-source contribution! Key Takeaways: Open source, vendor neutral instrumentation is an exciting new reality as the industry standardizes on openTelemetry for observability. OpenTelemetry is on a mission to enable effective observability by making high-quality, portable telemetry ubiquitous. The world of observability and monitoring today has a steep learning curve and in order to achieve ubiquity, the project would benefit from growing our contributor community.

Is your patent a vanity piece of paper for your office wall? Or is it a reliable, defendable, assertable, property right? The difference is often quality. Is your patent simply a transactional cost and a large pile of legal bills for your startup? Or is it a leverageable asset worthy of attracting precious investment dollars, worth its cost in multiples of valuation? The difference is often quality. Is your patent application only good enough to get through the examination process? Or has it been crafted to stand the tests of time and varied audiences if you later need to assert that document against an infringer, find yourself litigating with it in an Article 3 Court at the hands of a judge and jury, God forbid, end up having to defend its validity at the PTAB, or even needing to use it to block pirated imports at the International Trade Commission? The difference is often quality. Quality will be our focus for a good chunk of the remainder of this season. What goes into a quality patent, and where possible, how do you get it without breaking the bank? ** Episode Overview ** In this first episode of our quality series, Kristen Hansen and the panel discuss: ⦿ What do we mean when we say patent quality? ⦿ Why is patent quality important? ⦿ How to balance quality and budget ⦿ The importance of searching, continuations, and draftsperson domain expertise ⦿ Very practical tips, tricks, examples, and Kristen’s Musts for drafting quality applications https://www.aurorapatents.com/patently-strategic-podcast.html
