In this hands-on workshop we see complex adaptive systems in action through 1) MIX 2) SELECT and 3) INTERACT. Case studies from Netflix, Starbucks, Spotify, NYT, Amazon, Away, Waze, Airbnb, Zara and Under Armour and Spotify show where behaviour, design and networks all come together. 'Fails' from RyanAir, Target, New Balance and British Airways are also explored. 'A Day in the Life' and 'Multipliers' are two excercises you can run with your team. This is a follow-up to 'Thinking Like a Network' https://www.slideshare.net/JonasAltman/thinking-like-a-network

Here are the slides for a talk I delivered at SEOday 2017 in Kolding, Denmark. With content marketing as fashionable as it is, and some industry experts claiming its longer necessary, technical SEO gets lost in the shuffle. But the technical choices and opportunities for websites have developed at a huge rate in recent years. In this talk we’ll look at how SEOs should continue to embrace their inner geek, and not be scared of jumping into the technical side. We’ll see how there’s some really exciting stuff we should be doing, such as page speed, Schema, AMP, Javascript, and log file analysis. And how this helps, not hinders, us form making amazing content.

Talk given for Digital Olympus on December 6th 2016. No, this isn’t another talk telling you that this is the year of mobile. We can agree we’re past that now. But in our mobile-first world, many SEOs are still creating content for desktop experiences. During this talk, Charlie will share some ideas on how a mixture of content development, technical SEO can AMP up our tactics, building SEO in the format our audience consumes it.

Content strategy is, undoubtedly, a hot topic these days. A lot is being said that spans the range from concerns regarding the ability to display content on any device to the ability to drive engagement and increase traffic through better content creation and social media strategies. In this presentation we will connect the dots between these issues and practical Drupal site-building concerns with tools that are readily available now. We will show, through specific examples and references to available modules, how different approaches to content strategy can be practically implemented on Drupal sites. The aim is to equip Drupal site-builders with a handy toolkit that will allow them to both implement a content strategy for their sites as well as better exchange information with content strategists. The examples will include: - Different approaches to building content types so as to empower content creators to create a range of different structures. - Best practices in using vocabularies (fixed, open, user-generated, moderated, etc) or where alternative categorization methods may be relevant. We will also discuss: - Editorial calendars and scheduling. - The true benefit of workflows (and how, sometimes, they can be a disadvantage). - Analytics and how the ability to measure the effects of any strategy is as important as defining the strategy itself. Attendees will go away with practical examples and techniques that they can apply to their sites as well as a better understanding of what content strategy really is and how they can use it to improve their sites. The examples are a result of our own experiences in helping both clients develop their content strategy as well as applying it on italymagazine.com, an in-house product of ours. We grew italymagazine.com to a relevant online digital brand with a strong community by expressing our content strategy ideas through the tools that Drupal 7 made available to us. The resulting ~250% increase in traffic over 3 months is a testament to both the value of a content strategy as well as the power of Drupal to allow you to flexibly and iteratively support it.

In November 2016, Liz Russell and Ksenia Dynkin of Bluecadet presented the STC-PMC with a case study about best practices learned from a project their company did for the Hoover Mason Trestle, a historical landmark inBethlehem, Pennsylvania. They spoke about the research that needed to be done, the content development process, the storytelling strategy and framework they devised, and how they translated the content strategy for user-friendly kiosks and apps for visitors' mobile devices when visiting the Hoover Mason Trestle.

Data Modelling is an important tool in the toolbox of a developer. By building and communicating a shared understanding of the domain they're working with, their applications and APIs are more useable and maintainable. However, as you scale up your technical teams, how do you keep these benefits whilst avoiding time-consuming meetings every time something new comes along? This talk reminds ourselves of key data modelling technique and how our use of Kafka changes and informs them. It then examines how these patterns change as more teams join your organisation and how Kafka comes into its own in this world.

Ensuring the consistent adoption of brand elements across various channels can be a problem for many large organizations. As West Virginia University rolls out a new brand campaign our central Digital Services unit is sharing tools with our web development community to help them make this shift. In this talk you will learn how we’re using patterns to: * modernize and standardize toolsets * encourage broad and fast adoption of the new brand elements * make it easier to incorporate future changes to brand elements This process has not been without its challenges so expect many pitfalls and missteps to be shared.

From the 1–3 September 2015, DCU Library took a leap into the dark and hosted Digital Research in the Humanities and Arts 2015, a prestigious international conference for those engaged with the digitisation of cultural activity, resources and heritage. Having been awarded the conference following a tough competitive process, the committee, consisting of three librarians, set about planning an event to combine weighty academic presentations on a dizzying array of topics, cutting edge digital art installations, complex multi-media keynote addresses, and a social programme designed to keep a motley bunch of artists, academics and digital pioneers happy and engaged. Leaving their comfort zone well behind, they were required to act as convenors, curators, mediators, reviewers, technicians and stage hands. They liaised extensively with colleagues across DCU to beg, borrow and steal anything from iMacs and PC monitors to projectors and HDMI cables. They could often be found hammering nails, hanging drapes, dragging tables and eating on the run. There was never a dull moment! In the end, DRHA 2015 was a huge hit. They succeeded in putting DCU on the digital humanities map and shattered a few preconceptions about the influence librarians can have on the academic and cultural landscape.

Two librarians working with journalism students in higher education institutions in Ireland and Canada designed a comparative research study which surveyed graduates about the information resources they used to accomplish key communications tasks in their professional roles. The aim of the study was to (a) identify resources being used in practice and (b) harness that knowledge to improve both the content of information skills programmes and the pedagogical approach for teaching those skills. We were curious about the resources graduates actually used at work, both in traditional journalism positions and more broadly in other fields of communications. An analysis of current professional journalism standards (Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communication 2012; National Council for the Training of Journalists 2012, 2014) and recent articles on information use by journalists (Machill & Bieller 2009; Wenger & Owens 2013) shows a disconnect between what journalists are expected to use and what they really use in daily practice. Literature on information literacy instruction for journalism students is quite descriptive about the resources we teach students in these programs but this is not always connected to what they might use in practice, in particular as they often have access to different resources than those provided by institutional subscriptions. Missing from the literature entirely is the consideration of journalists working in other communications roles. Drawing on their prior work and other major studies, the authors will present recommendations for refining classroom practice to foster greater transfer of information literacy skills. We will present data from the survey and discuss the challenges the results present both in terms of what and how we teach in information literacy sessions for professional programs. Participants will be invited to complete a predictive version of the survey to compare what they think these professionals said with our results. This will be the basis for a discussion not only of our results, but also of our process, and how it might inform similar projects. Although the focus of this study relates to employability skills in the field of journalism and communications, we will discuss the transferability of our findings and how our approach enables implications to be drawn for programmes that prepare students for future careers in other disciplines. Participants will be encouraged to generate questions they could use in similar surveys of graduates in other programs. Both librarians already work closely with faculty on existing journalism programmes; this paper will discuss how the insights gained from the study have been shared with colleagues to improve programmes for future students.

For higher education students, learning can happen anytime and anywhere, however not much is known about how students actually conduct research. A User eXperience (UX) approach, which deploys an anthropological lens, has typically focussed on how library users are interacting with space and services. In this paper I will present the findings of an ethnographic study which shifted the traditional focus of UX to understand how students are engaging with the research process. Using participant observation, behavioural maps, student diaries and retrospective interviews, I was provided with unique access that enabled me to capture the behaviours of these students in their own environments. The research examined the practice of undergraduate research both inside and outside the library walls and found that the research process can be influenced by a number of factors including age, experience, work commitments, family, peer, academic and library anxiety. I was acutely aware of my responsibility as a researcher to build trust and honesty with the students. Working so closely with them enabled me to discover patterns in their research behaviour, discuss their approach to research and identify gaps in support. This was collaborative ethnography; as I observed research practice, I was able to provide instant advice to help them improve their research skills. In addition, I have discussed my findings with academic colleagues and together we have been making improvements to undergraduate study skills modules. This paper will discuss how an ethnographic approach has informed my professional practice and ultimately improved how I deliver research skills support to undergraduate students. I will also reflect on the role ethnography can play in empowering librarians to perform a leading research role within their own institutions.
