Join us for the membership meeting and the annual program! NCTPG is pleased to present two featured presentations — Shellie Cocking, Chief of Collection and Technical Services, and Randle McClure, Chief Analytics Officer, both of the San Francisco Public Library on how data analytics is utilized to reposition and forecast library collections, services, and programs. Nancy Lorimer, Associate Director of Metadata Services at Stanford University, will update the progress of the Stanford’s Linked Data for Production (LD4P) Project and Sinopia, a linked data editor developed at Stanford, where Nancy is the primary stakeholder and lead.
In addition to the two featured presentations, NCTPG is continuing the tradition to provide a venue for members to exchange ideas and experience of the most recent projects undertaken at different institutions. Justine Withers and Anders Lyon, both of the University of San Francisco, will do lightning talks of their current endeavors on faculty ebook user study, Reparative and Inclusion Description working group update, and USF’s CMS move to LibGuides.
At this event, we expect to have a broad representation of all types of libraries (academic, public, special) and a diverse representation of roles within and around technical services. Attendees are encouraged to participate in the informal discussion groups after the annual program ends for networking activity to checking in with our colleagues and peers. Swetta Abeyta of St. Mary’s College will lead a discussion on the ILS migration as many institutions are embarking on the journey. Everyone is welcome to contribute!

Featured Speakers
Shellie Cocking: I currently serve as Chief of Collections and Technical Services at San Francisco Public Library. Having started my time at SFPL selecting children’s books and AV, and then went on to experience the joy of being the Borrower Services Manager at the Main Library, as well as the Manager of Collections and Cataloging. I have been tracking trends in collection use for my full 27 years at SFPL, and am happy with the improved tools available today. Here at San Francisco Public Library we are so dedicated to using data to assist with decision making that we added an Research, Strategy & Analytics Unit close to five years ago.
Nancy Lorimer is Associate Director of Metadata Services at Stanford University, where she oversees original metadata creation and remediation for Stanford’s ILS and digital repository and participates in linked data projects and planning. She is active in Linked Data for Production (LD4P) Project, a series of grant-funded project that aim to begin moving Technical Services workflow into a linked data environment. Her current role in LD4P is primary stakeholder for Sinopia, a linked data editor developed at Stanford.

Lightning Talks
Using LibGuides CMS to Power Our Library Website
Anders Lyon
Gleeson Library at University of San Francisco is in the midst of a website redesign. As part of this work, we’re moving our entire website over to LibGuides CMS. This move will give us more control over the site, and allow us to overcome some of the design and functionality constraints of the web content management system used by the university. This talk will provide a high-level look at how we’re creating webpage templates and components in LibGuides CMS with the help of an easy-to-learn Bootstrap design framework.
Anders Lyon is the User Experience & Web Design Librarian at Gleeson Library, University of San Francisco. He is responsible for the assessment, usability, and management of the library’s web interfaces.
