Possibly of interest, both for describing the conference, as well as for
describing some innovating working arrangements some of you have, involving
videoconferencing or other offsite arrangements in place of some/all of your
commute.

Dear Academic Librarian:
We are writing to request your participation in a study of academic
librarians holding PhD degrees.
ABOUT THIS RESEARCH
We are conducting a qualitative study to understand how the
competencies and interests developed in a doctoral education
There is a vivid discussion about relevance ranking for library
resources in discovery interfaces in recent years. In articles, blog
posts and presentations on this topic, again and again possible ranking
factors are discussed beyond well known term statistic based methods
like the vector space
I wrote my own search engine for my system and thought long and hard
about relevancy, in the end went for none! and display alphabetical.

A bunch of us are using Solr/lucene for discovery over library
bibliographic records, which is based on the basic tf*idf weighting type
algorithm, with a bunch of tweaks. So all of us doing that, and
finding it pretty successful, are probably surprised to hear that this
approach won't work
Basically, I failed to exclude a whole swath of activity I should have
ignored.
An explanation, the new data, and an excellent link to a corroborating paper
by our usability group, is at:
