  • Exploring the Feasibility of Applying Data Mining for Library Reference Service Improvement a Case Study of Turku Main Library
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by National Library of Finland DSpace Services Ming Zhan ([email protected]) Exploring the Feasibility of Applying Data Mining for Library Reference Service Improvement A Case Study of Turku Main Library Master thesis in Information and Knowledge Management Master’s Programme Supervisors: Gunilla Widén Faculty of Social Sciences, Business and Economics Åbo Akademi University Åbo 2016 Abstract Data mining, as a heatedly discussed term, has been studied in various fields. Its possibilities in refining the decision-making process, realizing potential patterns and creating valuable knowledge have won attention of scholars and practitioners. However, there are less studies intending to combine data mining and libraries where data generation occurs all the time. Therefore, this thesis plans to fill such a gap. Meanwhile, potential opportunities created by data mining are explored to enhance one of the most important elements of libraries: reference service. In order to thoroughly demonstrate the feasibility and applicability of data mining, literature is reviewed to establish a critical understanding of data mining in libraries and attain the current status of library reference service. The result of the literature review indicates that free online data resources other than data generated on social media are rarely considered to be applied in current library data mining mandates. Therefore, the result of the literature review motivates the presented study to utilize online free resources. Furthermore, the natural match between data mining and libraries is established. The natural match is explained by emphasizing the data richness reality and considering data mining as one kind of knowledge, an easy choice for libraries, and a wise method to overcome reference service challenges.

  • 2020 SIGACT REPORT SIGACT EC – Eric Allender, Shuchi Chawla, Nicole Immorlica, Samir Khuller (Chair), Bobby Kleinberg September 14Th, 2020
    2020 SIGACT REPORT SIGACT EC – Eric Allender, Shuchi Chawla, Nicole Immorlica, Samir Khuller (chair), Bobby Kleinberg September 14th, 2020 SIGACT Mission Statement: The primary mission of ACM SIGACT (Association for Computing Machinery Special Interest Group on Algorithms and Computation Theory) is to foster and promote the discovery and dissemination of high quality research in the domain of theoretical computer science. The field of theoretical computer science is the rigorous study of all computational phenomena - natural, artificial or man-made. This includes the diverse areas of algorithms, data structures, complexity theory, distributed computation, parallel computation, VLSI, machine learning, computational biology, computational geometry, information theory, cryptography, quantum computation, computational number theory and algebra, program semantics and verification, automata theory, and the study of randomness. Work in this field is often distinguished by its emphasis on mathematical technique and rigor. 1. Awards ▪ 2020 Gödel Prize: This was awarded to Robin A. Moser and Gábor Tardos for their paper “A constructive proof of the general Lovász Local Lemma”, Journal of the ACM, Vol 57 (2), 2010. The Lovász Local Lemma (LLL) is a fundamental tool of the probabilistic method. It enables one to show the existence of certain objects even though they occur with exponentially small probability. The original proof was not algorithmic, and subsequent algorithmic versions had significant losses in parameters. This paper provides a simple, powerful algorithmic paradigm that converts almost all known applications of the LLL into randomized algorithms matching the bounds of the existence proof. The paper further gives a derandomized algorithm, a parallel algorithm, and an extension to the “lopsided” LLL.

  • Educating the Academic Librarian As a Blended Professional: a Review and Case Study
    Educating the Academic Librarian as a Blended Professional: A Review and Case Study Professor Sheila Corrall Head of Department and Chair in Librarianship & Information Management University of Sheffield Introduction The challenges and opportunities facing academic librarians are continually changing as changes occur in the operating environment at both global and institutional levels. Key trends affecting their roles and skills include convergence of academic services, combining libraries with IT and/or other learning support services; awareness of information literacy and recognition of the teaching role of librarians; and a maturing role in institutional repository management and its suggested extension to research data management. The increasingly specialised nature of their work is reflected in the use of terms such as ‘para-academic’, hybrid librarian’ and ‘blended professional’ to highlight their boundary-spanning activities and identities. The challenges and opportunities facing professional educators are similarly fluid. Professional education for librarians has to anticipate changes and developments in professional tasks, roles and expectations, both at the macro level of the profession as a whole and the micro level of different library specialties. Education programmes must take account of standards set by national and international professional bodies, in addition to reflecting the realities of professional work in the sector. Programme content should also be informed by research in the discipline, enabling the academy to influence professional thinking and practice, contributing to the development and positioning of the profession. The challenges facing educators are significant, with some employers and graduates questioning the value of academic preparation for professional practice, while others see both initial and continuing education as a worthwhile investment, but want flexible tailored provision, not just a standard offer.

  • Digital Content Creation Annual Report for FY12 Submitted by Betsy Kruger, Head DCC
    Digital Content Creation Annual Report for FY12 Submitted by Betsy Kruger, Head DCC I. Unit Narrative A. Overview of major activities and accomplishments in FY12 and major challenges faced i) Digital Content Creation’s (DCC) major activities and accomplishments in FY12 focused on the digitization of significant special collections, primarily in the RBML, the University Archives, the IHLL, the Sousa Archives, and the Map Library, which are detailed in various sections below. We also digitized a substantial amount of University of Illinois related publications, including dissertations, for deposit into IDEALS. We worked closely with CAM metadata personnel and the Visual Resources Coordinator at FAA on access issues related to our digitized content. We provided cost recovery digitization services for several campus units, and handled numerous patron requests for digital images. In addition to the digital projects outlined in the chart below, other major activities of the year included: (1) Developing and issuing a successful RFP for Digital Imaging Services, along with HPNL and the Preservation Department; (2) Oversight of and training for the Library’s participation in the IMLS grant funded Copyright Review Management System – World project, a collaborative project with the University of Michigan and 14 other institutions to make reliable copyright status determinations for foreign-published titles, which constitute a significant portion of the scholarly works being digitized by projects such as HathiTrust. (3) Began work on a Library funded initiative to assess the needs of non-Library, non-FAA units on campus for digitization and image management services. Our partners include representatives from FAA, CITES, and LAS/IT.

  • Van Wyck Brooks and the Progressive Frame of Mind 30
    van wyck brooks and the progressive frame of mind peter w. dowel I It has long been recognized that Van Wyck Brooks's America's Coming-of-Age (1915) and its companion piece Letters and Leadership (1918) captured the insurgent mood of a young generation of intellec­ tuals who themselves came of age with an outburst of critical and artistic activity in the years just prior to America's entry into World War I.1 To those of his contemporaries espousing a literature in touch with the wellsprings of modern American life, Brooks gave, as one of them put it, "an afflatus inchoate, vague, sentimental," but one that brought vital energy and creative focus to their cause.2 Although his demand for a truly national literature growing out of a healthy national culture was hardly new, harking back to Emerson and Whitman among others, Brooks's vigorous restatement of this theme expressed particularly the concerns of the present moment: a belief in self-expression as an ideal of personal growth and the basis for a flourishing artistic tradition; a sense of social responsibility, often tinged by some form of political radicalism; an emphasis on freedom, experiment and creativity in all phases of the national life, and especially a youthful rejection of all that smacked of the "old America." The diverse ideas and interests of Randolph Bourne, Floyd Dell, Max Eastman, Waldo Frank, Walter Lippmann, John Reed, Paul Rosenfeld and Harold Stearns, to name but a few, indelibly stamped what Brooks called "the newness." Having come into their own at the high-water mark of the Progressive era, these young men felt that the current reform agitation had fallen far short of creating a new social and cultural order.
