+title: Agile4Lib
+---
+Although often thought of as a “software methodology,” Agile is more of a mindset, driven by iteration and continuous learning. In this workshop we will introduce participants to the origins of agile, its frameworks and mindset, the How and Why of incremental development and the importance of delivering the most value as a north star.
+
+We'll also discuss some of the ways that Agile can be adapted for library culture. Much of the training materials about using Agile assume a corporate setting, but there are ways to make it work in a library context.
+
+This will pair well with [Fail4Lib]({% post_url 2025-03-13-fail4lib-2025 %}).

+title: ChatGPT as Shortcut for Integrating Digital Humanities into the History Classroom
+---
+Abstract: Based on ChatGPT-themed pedagogical experiments in a history course at the University at Buffalo, this presentation demonstrates how to use innovative technology in integrating digital humanities (DH) into the history classroom. When teaching the course “China and the World” in the summer of 2023, I assigned students to take distant readings of China-related documents in The Foreign Relations of the United States series with the aid of ChatGPT. The introduction of Word2vec and other popular Natural Language Processing (NPL) algorithms generated by ChatGPT enables students without solid coding skills to analyze the documents quantitatively. The advancement of Generative AI facilitates the integration of DH into traditional history classrooms.

+---
+Although failure is part and parcel of our professional experience, we often go out of the way to avoid talking about it. When we see failure approaching, we distance ourselves, avert our eyes, or – if we’re in its path – brace for the worst. But failure has intrinsic value and is an essential step on the path to professional and organizational success. And since it’s inevitable, we should learn how to look back on our failures to derive value from them, and how to look ahead so that our past failures can inform our future successes.
+
+Fail4Lib is the perennial Code4Lib preconference dedicated to discussing and coming to terms with the failures that we all encounter in our work. It is a safe space for us to explore failure, to talk about our own experiences with failure, and to encourage enlightened risk taking. The goal of Fail4Lib is for participants – and their organizations – to get better at failing gracefully, so that when we do fail, we do so in a way that moves us forward.
+
+Both first-timers and Fail4Lib veterans are welcome!

+title: Hands-On Digital Publishing Workshop with Quire
+---
+This workshop serves as an introduction to Quire, an open-source publishing tool developed by Getty and available for anyone to use for free. Quire is not a publishing service or a platform for hosting publications. Instead, it provides users (students, researchers, professors, curators, editors, and more) with the ability to produce multimedia-rich publications for the web. The same files used to create the website can also be used to create a PDF, e-book, and print book, making it the perfect solution for creating long-lasting and discoverable publications.
+
+The workshop seeks to break down the tools, formats, and processes necessary for using Quire into approachable, easy-to-understand concepts complemented by hands-on exercises. The workshop kicks off by introducing attendees to the basic concepts of how Quire functions, including learning to operate the command line, using a text editor to store content and images, and writing in Markdown and YAML. These concepts are then implemented as participants get a new project up and running, edit content, and make customizations on their own.
+
+Quire does not have a graphic user interface and is less intuitive than other digital publishing options. Our goal is to help people gain confidence in navigating and using a tool that represents a different way of working than they might be used to. We aim for individuals who take this workshop to leave feeling excited to continue experimenting and creating, and we will provide resources for that continued exploration.
