<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri">We’re at the beginning of a new academic year. Think about how
many of your online systems interact with other online systems at your
institution. Consider the computing activities that you are asked to support on
behalf of faculty and students. What are the practical implications? That’s
what this virtual NISO conference is all about! <span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri">Biomedical researchers increasingly need basic programming
skills and access to shared computing resources to conduct their research. In
response to this evolving research environment, Becker Medical Library and the
Center for High Performance Computing at Washington University in St. Louis
formed a partnership to support the use of biomedical data analysis software
designed for a cluster environment and to develop a series of introductory
research computing workshops aimed at researchers new to programming and
cluster computing. Demand for the introductory research computing workshops, in
particular, has been very high, suggesting that there is a significant need for
support in this area on campus. In order to meet this need, we have extended
this successful collaboration to include the recently created Institute for
Informatics, allowing us to begin to cover additional topics and further
support the research community on campus.<span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri">Privacy is a long-held value of libraries. Today’s networked
technologies—including social media, web analytics, and cloud computing—present
new challenges for achieving privacy. Google Analytics offers an instructive
use case. This leading third-party analytics tracker is widely implemented on
library websites, yet its privacy incursions are not widely understood by
librarians or library users. How can we realize our values and achieve privacy
in the age of analytics? This presentation will provide an overview of the main
issues associated with this question, and discuss practical and strategic
responses that libraries can implement to enhance our analytics practices with
a view towards privacy. <span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri">This presentation will discuss why the Federal Education
Rights Privacy Act (FERPA), and Institutional Review Boards (IRB), are not
effective safe guards for protecting student data in this time of big data and
learning analytics, even in the library. It will then touch on how the
methodologies used in assessment and learning analytics are unintentionally, or
intentionally, misused. The presentation will end with a list of practical
actions that people can take in response to what they will learn from this
presentation.<span></span></p>
