11:10-11:30 | Hyku & Controlled Digital Lending | In 2021, the Boston Library Consortium’s Board of Directors approved the implementation of controlled digital lending (CDL) as a mechanism for interlibrary loan (ILL). While many localized technical solutions were developed at that time, no technology existed to enable CDL for ILL amongst a library consortium. After several years of development and collaboration with Index Data, the BLC is launching its long-awaited CDL for ILL program utilizing ReShare CDL, a module of the open-source software championed by Project ReShare. Hyku for Consortia has been an essential tool to complement ReShare CDL and facilitate our workflows by hosting digital surrogates and providing temporary controlled access to digital materials. This presentation will provide an overview to the BLC’s journey towards this unique implementation of CDL, explore the integration of Hyku in our overall workflow, and discuss the challenges of adapting these technologies at scale. | Debra Denault & Marc Hoffeditz, Index Data & Boston Library Consortium | |
11:30-11:50 | Fedora: Getting Back to Community | This presentation will provide an update and overview of what is happening in the Fedora community. 2022 - 2023 was a year of strategic planning, listening and engaging with the community, finding implementers in new and unique spaces, and getting back in touch with our users. We will discuss the wins we experienced, and the challenges we foresee as we look to the future, and how we plan to tackle them and work toward a sustainable, community-focused future for Fedora. We will also share what work we have in the pipeline and provide updates on current collaborative work in progress. | Arran Griffith (Fedora) | https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1IFeygOYJjIgJJ7tpXCLLj4N6bRxtB-3Fd4V9rf8Rp5A/edit?usp=sharing |

12:00-12:10 | Samvera Community Service Providers: Go Further | In 2023, SoftServ met with multiple institutions who were unaware of options to collaborate with service providers for app maintenance, developer training, and project management. It's encouraging how many institutions are entering the Samvera space, but the road to adoption can be overwhelming when they aren't aware of available resources to assist them. This session will provide information on the various ways service providers can collaborate with institutions to assist beyond application development, including:

12:10-12:40 | Working Group and Interest Group Activity Reports | Learn what Samvera Interest and Working Groups have accomplished recently, what they are working on next, and how you can join them. | Kevin Kochanski , Bulkrax Interest Group Heather Greer Klein, Samvera Outreach & Engagement Working Group & Samvera Roadmaps Alignment Group Kiah Stroud , Samvera Developer Onboarding Working Group | |
12:40-1:00 | How to Knapsack | Learn all about Knapsack - Making Hyku more maintainable and easier to upgrade. | Rob Kaufman (SoftServ by Scientist.com) | |

1:10-1:30 | Code Workflow Automation Using Agents | This presentation aims to explore the possible approaches for integrating large-language models and frameworks driven by these generative engines into the maintenance and ongoing support of open source software projects. While the presentation aims to outline experiments in the usage of software frameworks using the Python programming language, the strategies described should be applicable to any number of languages and frameworks, including Ruby on Rails and Samvera. | James Griffin (Princeton University) | https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1aKku1EJB22mcJXEESyeYLUCv2HRzQlc5qLiCAffNfIs/edit?usp=sharing |
1:30-1:50 | Beyond the Traditional IIIF Viewer: How to Craft IIIF-Fluent Page Content with Clover IIIF | In this presentation, we will demonstrate how to swiftly craft dynamic content for cultural heritage items with IIIF APIs. We'll step beyond traditional viewers, spreading content from a IIIF Collection across a hypothetical digital project. During this implementation, we will leverage the composable React components packaged in Clover IIIF: Image, Scroll, Slider, Viewer, and the essential IIIF Primitives. The process will illustrate the power of defining well-structured, interoperable resources. We will use content from the IIIF Collection, including its Manifests, Canvases, and Annotations, demonstrating how they can be utilized by both your institution's projects and researchers worldwide. This presentation will showcase the practical application of Clover IIIF's versatile components and highlight how we can rethink our approaches in leveraging IIIF content housed in our collections. Attendees will leave with an understanding of how to apply these techniques to enhance their own cultural heritage projects. | Mat Jordan (Northwestern University) | |

2:10-2:40 | Breakout session: Accessibility challenges, tools, and community initiatives | This breakout session is designed to bring together community members working on accessibility initiatives with those who want to learn more or aren’t sure where to get started. All participants are welcome, including developers, repository managers, and other stakeholders. Facilitators from IU will likely start with a brief overview of work done with Avalon Media System as an example and the tools that were used. Participants who are interested in learning more are invited to share about the obstacles they face in getting started with accessibility work. Participants with experience will have the opportunity to share both about the types of accessibility challenges they’ve solved and the tools they find helpful. We can also discuss Samvera community initiatives around accessibility, including the proposed Samvera Web Accessibility Interest/Working Group. The goal of this breakout session is to begin to make the challenge of accessibility more approachable through collaboration and knowledge sharing. | Emily Lynema , Jon Cameron (Indiana University) |
