NoSQL: Current Implementations and Future Possibilities
We use NoSQL databases for CQ and NYUHome but they are not well understood by many. There are many different kinds of NoSQL databases and each has its own strengths and weaknesses. I will present several use cases.

Student Affairs is a heavy user of an event management system called OrgSync. OrgSync has the capability of allowing students to swipe their ID cards into a device hooked up to a laptop in order to track event attendees. However, it can be cumbersome bringing a laptop to events and it will not work without an internet connection. To get around this, we developed an iOS app that synchronizes to OrgSync and collects check-ins through an ID card swiper that connects to the headphone jack of any Apple mobile device. It also works in an offline mode in case there is no internet connection! The app uses the NYU Login system, which authenticates users to make sure they are part of the NYU community. Once the event is over, check-ins can be exported in a number of ways and the app will even aggregate check-ins across multiple devices.
Steinhardt Technology Services
Steinhardt Technology Services Bridging the Gap Between Information and Academic Technology
In order to adapt to the changing landscape of technology at New York University, Steinhardt Technology Services had to make several strategic choices that preserved the operational effectiveness of Information Technology, while increasing bolstering Academic Technology services. In doing so, Steinhardt Technology Services has gone from a traditional desktop support service to a one-stop-shop for any, academic or information, technology need for the Steinhardt Community. In this poster, Steinhardt Technology Services will share their rationale behind some of the changes that were made while also discussing some of the challenges that the team will face moving forward.
Supporting NYU’s Digital Humanities Community
Digital Scholarship Services (DSS), a department within NYU Libraries began in December 2014. One of our strategic goals for AY2015 was to foster a campus community around digital humanities teach and research. We achieved this in 3 ways
– Polonsky Event Series
– Consultations
– Omeka Pilot
Our poster will describe each of these three initiatives and how they helped foster a digital humanities community of practice at NYU.
