title: Belt and Suspenders: Crafting Full Coverage Monitoring for Library Applications
21
+
---
22
+
We use the term "monitoring" to describe a collection of components that make up a system comprised of fault detection, metric collection, analytics, visualization, and notification. We will talk about our composable system, with modular design, combining several tools to fulfill the functions of each component.
23
+
24
+
We will look at how we use Sensu, an open source monitoring tool designed for today’s systems and Datadog (we will address budget neutral alternatives). Sensu is commonly referred to as "the monitoring framework," allowing its users to compose a monitoring system to meet their unique demands. Sensu provides a monitoring agent, transport, event processor, HTTP API, etc. Datadog is an extensive, easy-to-use platform for understanding your infrastructure.
25
+
26
+
In this presentation, we will discuss each component of a modern monitoring system, comparing several approaches to each of them. We will also cover the advantages and disadvantages of specific tool architectures, talk about Sensu and Datadigs approach to monitoring.
learning-outcomes: Participants will leave this session more comfortable with failing and more comfortable with discussing failure openly. Participants will learn strategies for making failure more productive and valuable, and for making their organizations more willing to embrace failure as a learning opportunity.

title: Fail4Lib X
18

19

Everyone experiences failure in their professional lives, but no one likes to talk about it. When we see failure approaching, we distance ourselves, avert our eyes, or -- if we're in its path -- brace for the worst. But failure has intrinsic value and is an essential step on the path to professional and organizational success. And since it’s inevitable, we ought to learn how to look back on our failures to derive value from them, and how to look ahead so that our past failures can inform our future successes.
20
+
21
+
Fail4Lib is the perennial Code4Lib preconference dedicated to discussing and coming to terms with the failures that we all encounter in our professional lives. It is a safe space for us to explore failure, to talk about our own experiences with failure, and to encourage enlightened risk taking. The goal of Fail4Lib is for participants – and their organizations – to get better at failing gracefully, so that when we do fail, we do so in a way that moves us forward. And in a year with plenty of failure to reflect on, the ability to make the most of failure is a valuable asset. First-timers and Fail4Lib veterans are welcome!
22
+
23
+
This year, Fail4Lib celebrates ten years of celebrating failure. I hope you'll join us.
learning-outcomes: Participants will learn about using Docker Desktop and thereafter how to install, configure and use a Wikibase instance using Docker.

title: Getting the most out of Wikibase4Lib
20
+
---
21
+
This three hour session will provide an introduction to getting Wikibase, the software that powers Wikidata, configured on your local machine by way of Docker Desktop. The session includes an accessible and newbie friendly introduction to using Docker on your laptop, followed by a necessary (though not overly technical) delineation of the unique technology stack that makes up the Wikibase linked data system.
22
+
23
+
After we have walked through the Wikibase installation steps, we will provide an overview of features and functionality of a local Wikibase. The following configuration tasks will be covered: account management features -- including adding users; importing items and properties from Wikidata; a demonstration of configuring and using the Wikibase query service; using OpenRefine with arbitrary Wikibase installs; recent advances in federated property use by the Wikibase ecosystem. This session will make use of the latest Wikibase Docker install documentation: Wikibase/Docker - MediaWiki.
24
+
25
+
The final hour of the workshop will be reserved for independent work, question and answer time, and general troubleshooting for your newly installed Wikibase instance!
learning-outcomes: Participants will learn about five specific methods from Liberating Structures that can be adapted to a variety of contexts. We will also provide some additional context on how to facilitate effectively. Participants will receive a copy of all presentation materials for reuse under a Creative Commons license.

attendee-requirements: There are no prerequisites, but we’d ask any attendees to stay for the whole workshop, and to bring paper and a writing implement.

title: Including and Unleashing Everyone: Facilitation with Liberating Structures
19
+
---
20
+
Including everyone in a collaborative project can be a challenge in technology, as well as in many other fields. People may self-select out of conversations if they’re unsure that they can contribute. If you’re a manager or project leader, it can also feel intimidating to get people to start thinking and sharing ideas. What can we do to get people unstuck from those uncomfortable silences to be engaged, curious, and excited about the future?
21
+
22
+
This workshop will focus on introducing participants to Liberating Structures (https://www.liberatingstructures.com/), a facilitation methodology designed to include and unleash everyone. Using a series of 33 methods that can be sequenced and adapted to a variety of contexts, Liberating Structures provides a balance between freedom and structure to provide space for new ideas to grow and develop. The workshop will focus on about five specific methods from Liberating Structures, and participants will learn the methods in a hands-on setting by participating in the methods themselves.
23
+
24
+
The workshop’s facilitators each have experience facilitating Liberating Structures sessions in their own institutions, and learned more by serving as facilitators on the IMLS-funded Lighting the Way project (https://lightingtheway.stanford.edu/). Lighting the Way applied Liberating Structures to get participants to imagine futures for archival discovery and delivery, and to identify strategic opportunities and challenges. We’re excited to bring these methods to the Code4lib community through learning through doing, and to help build an informal network of other facilitators.
learning-outcomes: Participants will learn of an additional way to turn data into information -- modern alchemy.
7
+
attendee-requirements: Attendees need to bring their own laptop computer. The need to be amenable to working from the command line, and a working version of Python 3.x needs to be installed on their computer.

title: Modern Alchemy: Turning data into information
18
+
---
19
+
In this hands-on workshop participants will first learn how to use a system called the Distant Reader to transform sets of unstructured data (like journal articles) into structured data affectionally called "study carrels". These data sets are amenable to analysis by both people as well as computers. Second, participants will learn how to use a Python-based command-line tool (the Reader Toolbox) to apply text mining and natural language processing tasks against the structured data. These processess include things such as feature extraction, concordancing, topic modeling, full text indexing, semantic indexing, network analysis, etc. In the end, participants will learn of an additional way to turn data into information -- modern alchemy.
