Creating an Idea Factory: Tiny Technology Tasks Solve Bigger Problems
Description
Join us for a candid discussion on how to solve BIG problems with bite-sized tasks. A technologist, librarian, and computer science student will discuss personal experiences, highlighting key successes and a few failures, presenting an opportunity/idea factory for session participants to discover how to bring what we’ve learned into their own institution. Several practical “bite-sized” tasks will be demonstrated, and panelists will explain their problem-solving approach for each task. Additionally, the session will end with practical solutions derived by stitching together bite-sized tasks to solve much larger problems, where/how Google Apps and scripts may be useful, and other points to consider when automating processes. While this session will highlight technical automation processes, no experience with Google Apps or other scripts is required to participate.
