BLDS Migration to Koha (KohaCon12)
BLDS Migration to Koha (KohaCon12)British Library for Development Studies The British Library for Development Studies migrated from an old proprietary library management system to the open source Koha system. They chose Koha because it was developed and maintained by a worldwide community, allowed them to install and modify it themselves, and aligned with their objectives of building capacity in developing countries. After evaluating various open source options based on licensing, community support, and functionality, Koha was seen as the most complete system. The migration was outsourced to a third party vendor and took approximately 8 months. While some issues remained, the implementation was considered a success with praise from users.

Why libraries should embrace Linked Data
Why libraries should embrace Linked Dataeby The promise of Linked Data is not that it is another way of aggregating data. For too long have library data been trapped within data-silos only accessible through obscure protocols. Why is access to library data still an issue? Letting everyone access and link to library data lets anyone build the next killer app. LIBRIS, the Swedish Union Catalogue is, since the beginning of this year, available as Linked Data. We discuss how and why. -- Martin Malmsten & Anders Söderbäck, National Library of Sweden

Karen Coyle Keynote - R&D: Can Resource Description become Rigorous Data?
Karen Coyle Keynote - R&D: Can Resource Description become Rigorous Data?eby This document summarizes Karen Coyle's presentation on Resource Description and Access (RDA), the new cataloging standard intended to replace AACR2. It discusses the goals of RDA, including using FRBR as a framework, simplifying rules, accommodating non-library communities, and being machine-processable. However, it notes that early drafts of RDA are very lengthy and still result in text strings rather than machine-actionable data. It highlights work being done to formally declare RDA's vocabularies in RDF to address this issue and help integrate library data into the semantic web.

Building Mountains Out of Molehills
Building Mountains Out of Molehillseby Faceted navigation, which is an increasingly common feature of library OPACS, was initially developed to browse hierarchical data. MARC data however, has relatively little hierarchy, and user-generated tags have even less. The flatness of this data, makes the navigation of search result-sets cumbersome and often ineffective. BiblioCommons has been tracking academic research and industry best-practices in this realm, and experimenting with different methods of adding structure to these datasets. This session will share learning to date.

Smart Subjects - Application Independent Subject Recommendations
Smart Subjects - Application Independent Subject Recommendationseby This document discusses Smart Subjects, a subject recommendation engine that takes user search queries as input and outputs a list of related library subjects. It is intended to provide application-independent subject recommendations that can be integrated into library search tools. The system works by harvesting institutional data like course descriptions and faculty publications to create text extracts of academic departments, which are then indexed and queried to crosswalk departments to library subjects. Potential applications include integrating recommendations into quick search and an OpenSearch interface. Future plans include expanding the subject indices and gauging interest in a community platform.

New Monthly Enterprises Survey. Issue 34. (02.2025) Ukrainian Business in War...Інститут економічних досліджень та політичних консультацій The Institute for Economic Research and Policy Consulting (IER) has released the 34-th monthly enterprise survey “Ukrainian business in wartime” for February 2025.
The goal of the project is to quickly collect information on the current state of the economy at the enterprise level.
The field stage of the 34-th wave lasted from February 18 - 28, 2025. The enterprise managers compared the work results in February 2025 with January, assessed the indicators at the time of the survey (February 2025), and gave forecasts for the next two, three, or six months, depending on the question. In certain issues (where indicated), the work results were compared with the pre-war period (before February 24, 2022).
This publication was compiled with the support of the European Union and the International Renaissance Foundation within the framework «European Renaissance of Ukraine» project. Its content is the exclusive responsibility of the authors and does not necessarily reflect the views of the European Union and the International Renaissance Foundation.
Main results of the 34-th monthly enterprise survey:
• In February 2025, against the background of decreasing long-term uncertainty, business plans for the next two years remain neutral or positive.
• At the same time, the year-on-year recovery rate has decreased to the lowest value in the last 24 months.
• There is also a decrease in the month-on-month growth production rate, but production plans for the next three months continue to grow for the second month.
• The main obstacles to business development are labor shortages, rising prices, and work hazards.
