We are now accepting proposals for publication in our 28th issue, a special issue on diversity in library technology. Discussions on the Code4Lib listserv and keynotes by Valerie Aurora and Sumana Harihareswara at Code4Lib 2014 show that diversity is a topic of ongoing importance to the Code4Lib community. A recent editorial in the Code4Lib Journal by Ron Peterson originally sparked discussion of the idea for a special issue among the journal?s editorial committee; the demographic breakdown of both the author community and the committee itself laid bare the fact that diversity is a major challenge even in communities that are highly supportive. With this in mind, the C4LJ editorial committee hopes that this special issue will further the conversation around this important topic, while also encouraging a greater diversity amongst the Journal?s contributors for this and future issues. C4LJ encourages creativity and flexibility, and the editors welcome submissions across a broad variety of topics that support the mission of the journal. Possible topics could include, but are not limited to: - Building diverse technology teams - Implementing a code of conduct and/or assessing its efficacy - Designing for accessibility - Partnerships to foster inclusivity in the field - Library tech programming for underserved populations - Inclusive project management and communication - Surfacing diverse items in digital libraries - Digital projects involving outreach to diverse communities C4LJ strives to promote professional communication by minimizing the barriers to publication. While articles should be of a high quality, they need not follow any formal structure. Writers should aim for the middle ground between blog posts and articles in traditional refereed journals. Where appropriate, we encourage authors to submit code samples, algorithms, and pseudo-code. For more information, visit C4LJ's Article Guidelines or browse articles from the first 26 issues published on our website: http://journal.code4lib.org. Don't miss out on this opportunity to share your ideas and experiences. To be included in the 28th issue, which is scheduled for publication in April 2015, please submit articles, abstracts, or proposals at http://journal. code4lib.org/submit-proposal or to journal at code4lib.org by January 12, 2015. When submitting, please include the title or subject of the proposal in the subject line of the email message and the acceptance of the Journal?s US CC-By 3.0 license in the body of the message. The editorial committee will review all proposals and notify those accepted by January 19, 2015. Please note that submissions are subject to rejection or postponement at any point in the publication process as determined by the Code4Lib Journal?s editorial committee. Send in a submission. Your peers would like to hear what you are doing. -- *Heidi Elaine Dowding, MLIS* www.thegloballibrarian.com | @theglobal_lib ============================ To unsubscribe: http://bit.ly/web4lib Web4Lib Web Site: http://web4lib.org/ 2014-12-02 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I?m curious to hear from some seasoned folks who?ve done this out there what level of hosting you use and what experiences you?ve had with your vendors. While we?re at it, we also think finding a host that has some experience with Omeka would be a plus. We currently use Blue Host for some prototyping and emergency band-aid projects?but they don?t include Omeka in their list of one-click installs and when we launched our own test of Omeka and Neatline, their support was really unaware of the platform and not especially helpful in getting around some initial issues. Anyway, some questions for you all: * For your Wordpress instances, do you use a Managed Wordpress service? Or does the simple web hosting (ala shared hosting, etc.) do the trick just fine. * What recommended vendors for Managed Hosting or Shared Hosting would you give us? * Any other insights you?d wish you?d known when you set out to launch your own externally hosted Wordpress?

You, or no one available to you, can or is willing to install WordPress manually [the ?5 minute install?] ? Your website will probably not be in danger of having high simultaneous traffic ? You are not concerned with having 100% control over your site. Managed hosting is for many a huge convenience, but it is often at the cost at being able to make certain decisions ? even so far as which plugins you can use. You can still build or commission custom themes, but certain functionality that is available to other plans will not be available to you for reasons of security or load. If you?re cool with this, then Yahtzee. The managed hosts aren?t out there to screw you, they?re making educated decisions, but if these kind of decisions will ever get in the way of your vision for your website, then MWP isn?t right for you. Shared hosting just gets bottlenecked with traffic. So with proper caching, a well designed site, and moderate traffic, you?ll be just fine. If you ever hope to land on the front page of reddit or you want to use your shared host to disseminate podcasts, you?ll want a better plan. As for hosts, everyone has a nitpick, but the web is my moneymaker and I have been happy with the specs and customer service of Media Temple. They were acquired by GoDaddy awhile ago, but any fears about that corrupting the awesomeness of Media Temple aren?t founded. As for Omeka? Anything that can host Omeka can host WordPress. Omeka is really simple to install manually, just as WordPress. I often suggest people avoid the one-click installs anyway, so whether Omeka is present in your eventual host?s arsenal shouldn?t determine your choice of host. Choose a host that has excellent specs and excellent customer service. If you have more WP questions, there?s a WordPress Librarians FB group, too. Have a good one!

However all our Production Wordpress installs are done on our own servers. We have 3 standalone installs, and two network installs (long story) , and they all work great. I would echo Michael?s comment on hosted: One of our shared sites is booksbythebanks.org. This has minimal traffic year round. The day of the event however, the site went down as we had reached the CPU limit in the shared environment. I had to do some quick scrambling to bring it back up.

The organizers are pleased to invite you to apply to the 2015 Scholarship Programme. The Open Repositories Steering Committee is delighted to announce that for OR2015 we will again be running our Scholarship Programme. This programme will enable us to provide support for a small number of full registered places for the 2015 conference in Indianapolis. The programme is open to librarians, repository managers, developers, and researchers in digital libraries and related fields. Applicants submitting a paper for the conference will be given priority consideration for funding (please provide details of your submission in the application form). Two questions in the application form ask 'What is it about Open Repositories that interests you' and 'What do you expect to gain from attending the conference?' You may wish to prepare answers to these before completing the form, as the responses to these will be critical to the success of your application. Please note: the Scholarship provides funding only for a full conference registration (including dinner and the poster reception). It does not cover other costs such as accommodation, travel, and subsistence. It is anticipated that the applicant's home institution will provide financial support to supplement the OR Scholarship Award. Application Form http://goo.gl/Vv03F4 (via GoogleDocs) The deadline for applications is 30 January 2015. LOOKING BACK, MOVING FORWARD: OPEN REPOSITORIES AT THE CROSSROADS OR2015 is the tenth OR conference, and this year's overarching theme reflects that milestone: Looking Back/Moving Forward: Open Repositories at the Crossroads. It is an opportunity to reflect on and to celebrate the transformative changes in repositories, scholarly communication, and research data over the last decade. More critically however, it will also help to ensure that open repositories continue to play a key role in supporting, shaping, and sharing those changes and an open agenda for research and scholarship. OR2015 will provide an opportunity to explore the demands and roles now expected of both repositories and the staff who develop, support, and manage them - and to prepare them for the challenges of the next decade. We welcome proposals on this theme, but also on the theoretical, practical, organizational, or administrative topics related to digital repositories.

However all our Production Wordpress installs are done on our own servers. We have 3 standalone installs, and two network installs (long story) , and they all work great. I would echo Michael?s comment on hosted: One of our shared sites is booksbythebanks.org. This has minimal traffic year round. The day of the event however, the site went down as we had reached the CPU limit in the shared environment. I had to do some quick scrambling to bring it back up. So, do consider traffic and bandwidth. Lisa Haitz UC Libraries From: Web technologies in libraries [mailto:WEB4LIB at LISTSERV.ND.EDU] On Behalf Of Hess, M. Ryan Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2014 11:30 AM To: WEB4LIB at LISTSERV.ND.EDU Subject: [WEB4LIB] Wordpress Hosting Hi all, We?re about to put in an RFP for launching an external Wordpress site for our blog. I?m curious to hear from some seasoned folks who?ve done this out there what level of hosting you use and what experiences you?ve had with your vendors. While we?re at it, we also think finding a host that has some experience with Omeka would be a plus. We currently use Blue Host for some prototyping and emergency band-aid projects?but they don?t include Omeka in their list of one-click installs and when we launched our own test of Omeka and Neatline, their support was really unaware of the platform and not especially helpful in getting around some initial issues. Anyway, some questions for you all: * For your Wordpress instances, do you use a Managed Wordpress service? Or does the simple web hosting (ala shared hosting, etc.) do the trick just fine. * What recommended vendors for Managed Hosting or Shared Hosting would you give us? * Any other insights you?d wish you?d known when you set out to launch your own externally hosted Wordpress?

Libraries and memory organizations have rich content and resources that the Web can not see or use. The *Libhub Initiative* aims to find common ground for libraries, providers, and partners to publish and use data with non-proprietary, web standards. Libraries can then communicate in a way Web applications understand and Web users can see through the use of enabling technology like Linked Data and shared vocabularies such as schema.org and BIBFRAME . The *Libhub Initiative* uniquely prioritizes the linking of these newly exposed library resources to each other and to other resources across the Web, a critical requirement of increased Web visibility. In this webinar, Eric Miller will talk about the transition libraries must make to achieve Web visibility, explain recent trends that support these efforts, and introduce the Libhub Initiative -- an active exploration of what can happen when libraries begin to speak the language of the Web. *SPEAKER:* *Eric Miller* is the President of Zepheira . Prior to founding Zepheira, Eric led the Semantic Web Initiative for the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) at MIT where he led the architectural and technical leadership in the design and evolution of the Semantic Web. Eric is a frequent and sought after international speaker in areas of International Web standards, knowledge management, collaboration, development and deployment. :: For more information and to register, visit the event webpage: http://www.asis.org/Conferences/webinars/Webinar-DCMI-1-7-2015-register.html ============================ To unsubscribe: http://bit.ly/web4lib Web4Lib Web Site: http://web4lib.org/ 2014-12-07 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This year we have an exciting program that includes presentations and workshops on digital inclusion, wearable tech, library as publisher, code playgrounds, digital assets management, data visualization and more. View the conference program at: http://onlinenorthwest.org/2015-program/ Mita Williams, User Experience Librarian at the University of Windsor, will start off the day with her keynote presentation: Teach for America. Code for America. Librarianing for America.

The motto of CrisisCommons is "we help connect people to help those in need". This talk is not going to dwell on the matter that librarians lack a good word - much less an official motto - to describe the work we do. Instead, a case will be made for a new program to be designed to get more librarians working within more organizations in more communities. ============================ To unsubscribe: http://bit.ly/web4lib Web4Lib Web Site: http://web4lib.org/ 2014-12-08 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The survey explores the adoption of digital preservation approaches and technology. Both the findings and data from the survey will be published openly; the findings will enable peer institutions to benchmark their practice with others, and the data will allow others to carry out their own analysis of the results. However, the information in both the findings and data will be fully anonymised so that individual organisations cannot be identified. We are interested to hear from a broad range of institution types and sizes to allow analysis of trends across the sector. 'We recently ran a similar survey among our members to identity shared > priorities and inform our strategic planning' explains Ed Fay, OPF > Executive Director. > > 'The community survey will help to build a picture of the current digital > preservation landscape and to raise awareness of effective tools and > approaches that are being used in institutions around the world. The > results will focus where OPF can support the community and foster open > collaboration'. *About the survey* There are 20 questions in the survey. It should take approximately 20 minutes to complete. We ask that you only provide one response per organisation. We have put together a printable guidance document to explain the purpose and format of each question, should you wish to consult with others. *Guidance document* http://openpreservation.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/OPFCommunityDigitalPreservationSurvey-GuidanceNotes.pdf *Survey* https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/opf-digital-preservation-community-survey-2014 .

Crowdsourcing in the humanities is an emerging new area for museums, libraries, and archives. The CCLA was formed earlier this year with an Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) award, with the goal to unite leading-edge technology groups in libraries and archives as well as humanities scholars and scholars from the sciences in a conversation about best practices, shared toolsets, and strategies for using crowdsourcing. The CCLA project was initiated by Mary Flanagan, Sherman Fairchild Distinguished Professor in Digital Humanities at Dartmouth, who as founding director of Tiltfactor has extensive experience with crowdsourcing and developing engaging games for prosocial causes. The CCLA is engaging top experts in the field through a series of regional U.S. meetings, the most recent of which occurred in Boston this last September. A culminating national meeting will be held in Washington, DC, in May 2015. The two planned webinars are part of the first year of the CCLA initiative and will feature internationally recognized experts in crowdsourcing. The first CCLA Webinar, "Crowdsourcing 101: Fundamentals and Case Studies," was held in late October and had over 180 registered participants from 40 states, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia. The December 2014 webinar, moderated and hosted by OCLC, will include the presentations by Sharon Leon Director of Public Projects at the Center for History and New Media and Associate Professor in History and Art History at George Mason University; Robert Horton IMLS Associate Deputy Director for Library Services and Brett Bobley Director and Chief Information Officer for the National Endowment for the Humanities. Participants will learn how to pick the funding organization that is right for their projects, and how to then best pitch their ideas to those funders. ?Scoping and Funding Crowdsourcing Projects? is free and open to the public. *For more information about participating in the webinar and to RSVP, visit: ow.ly/FjNHu .* Institutions interested in joining the Crowdsourcing Consortium for Libraries and Archives should email contact at crowdconsortium.org.

Carroll Preston Baber Research Grant Call for Proposals Do you have a project that is just waiting for the right funding? Are you thinking about ways that libraries can improve services to users? The American Library Association (ALA) gives an annual grant for those conducting research that will lead to the improvement of services to users. The Carroll Preston Baber Research Grant is given to one or more librarians or library educators who will conduct innovative research that could lead to an improvement in services to any specified group of people. The grant, up to $3,000, will be given to a proposed project that aims to answer a question of vital importance to the library community that is national in scope. Among the review panel criteria are: * The research problem is clearly defined, with a specific question or questions that can be answered by collecting data. The applicant(s) clearly describe a strategy for data collection whose methods are appropriate to the research question(s). A review of the literature, methodologies, etc. is not considered research (e.g., methodology review rather than application of a methodology) for purposes of the award, except where the literature review is the primary method of collecting data. * The research question focuses on benefits to library users and should be applied and have practical value as opposed to theoretical. * The applicant(s) demonstrate ability to undertake and successfully complete the project. The application provides evidence that sufficient time and resources have been allocated to the effort. Appropriate institutional commitment to the project has been secured. * Any ALA member may apply, and the Jury would welcome projects that involve both a practicing librarian and a researcher. Deadline extended to January 9, 2015.

Interactive visual representations (such as time series graphs, time maps, animated charts) are becoming popular additions to library websites and catalogs. They are used for showing statistics about library usage and telling stories about library services and collections. This 4-week workshop introduces participants to D3.js (Data-Driven Documents), one of the fastest growing JavaScript-based open-source visualization libraries that allows web site designers to create interactive visualizations. Participants will also learn how to adapt existing open-source representations available in D3.js library for their own needs. Some comfort with JavaScript is assumed. (Our course titled Introduction to Client-Side Web Scripting would be good preparation.) Olga Buchel holds a PhD in Library and Information Science from the University of Western Ontario. Her specialization is in geodigital libraries, having worked at the Alexandria Digital Library, one of the first libraries to offer geospatial searches. For her dissertation she developed an interactive visualization for a book collection. She has taught on geodigital libraries at the University of Western Ontario. Course structure This is an online class that is taught asynchronously, meaning that participants do the work on their own time as their schedules allow. The class does not meet together at any particular times, although the instructor may set up optional sychronous chat sessions. Instruction includes readings and assignments in one-week segments. Class participation is in an online forum environment. Payment info You can register in this course through the first week of instruction. The "Register" button on the website goes to our credit card payment gateway, which may be used with personal or institutional credit cards. (Be sure to use the appropriate billing address).

If you know of any eligible developers who might be interested in this project, feel free to forward this message to them or to send me their contact information. I have already sent this message to the firms that I know about that offer online summer reading products. Oakland Public Library, which is a department of the City of Oakland, California, is accepting proposals from contractors to develop, host, maintain and provide support for an online web service that will allow libraries to track library "programs" where library patrons (aka customers or users) perform measurable or countable activities and receive rewards or incentives in return. This service would include summer reading functionality but would be broader and more flexible for the customer than existing summer reading products. The proposal submittal deadline is Monday, January 6, 2015. To be eligible for consideration, a contractor must have previously successfully developed, hosted and maintained web-based software services that have been used by public libraries. More information about the project is available at http://oaklandlibrary.org/sites/default/files/documentlibrary/PlayatYour LibraryRFPexcerpts.pdf, and the full Request for Proposal is at http://oaklandlibrary.org/sites/default/files/documentlibrary/PlayatYour LibraryRFP.pdf .

S?o Paulo, Brazil* The Conference website and the call for participation for DC-2015 are now open. *=================* *Conference Website:* http://purl.org/dcevents/dc-2015 *Call for Participation:* http://purl.org/dcevents/dc-2015/cfp *Track Policies:* http://dcevents.dublincore.org/index.php/IntConf/dc-2015/schedConf/trackPolicies *=================* *Abstract: *The need for structured metadata to support ubiquitous access across the Web to the treasure troves of resources spanning cultures, in science, and in the digital humanities is now common knowledge among information systems designers and implementers. Structured metadata expressed through languages of description make it possible for us to 'speak' about the contents of our treasure troves. But, like all human languages, our languages of description both enable and isolate. The push to break out of the isolation of the metadata silos in which professionals inevitably design, implement and manage metadata in order to discover the intersections of our treasure troves drives much of today's discourse and emerging practice in metadata. The emergence of massively integrated Web presences such as Europeana and the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) along with the reshaping of public access globally through mechanisms such as Linked Data and schema.org drive our conversations, our excitement, and our fears. *IMPORTANT DATES:* *Technical Program Deadlines: * *Peer-Reviewed Papers, Project Reports & Posters* --*Submission Deadline:* 28 March 2015 --*Author Notification:* 23 June 2015 --*Final Copy:* 28 July 2015 *Professional Program Deadlines* *Special & Panel Sessions* --*Proposal Deadline:* 28 March 2015 --*Author Notification:* 25 April 2015 *Best Practice Posters & Demonstrations* --*Submission Deadline: *14 July 2015 --*Author Notification:* Ongoing *=================* *Join us in S?o Paulo, Brazil* Each of the past 20 years, the metadata community has gathered for DCMI's conference and annual meeting. The work agenda of the DCMI community is broad and inclusive of all aspects of innovation in metadata design, implementation and best practices. While the work of the Initiative progresses throughout the year, the annual meeting and conference provide the opportunity for DCMI "citizens" as well as newcomers, students, apprentices, and early career professionals to gather face-to-face to share experiences and knowledge. In addition, the gathering provides public- and private-sector initiatives beyond DCMI that are doing significant metadata work to come together to compare notes and cast a broader light into their particular metadata work silos. Through such a gathering of the metadata communities, DCMI advances its "first goal" of promoting metadata interoperability and harmonization. This year, the annual meeting and conference are being hosted by the Universidade Estadual Paulista--S?o Paulo State University (UNESP) and held in S?o Paulo, Brazil. *=================* *CONFERENCE ORGANIZERS:* --Universidade Estadual Paulista--S?o Paulo State University (UNESP) --Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI) *=================* *CONFERENCE CHAIRS:* --Pl?cida Santos, Professor Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP), Brazil --Silvana Borsetti Gregorio Vidotti, Professor Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP), Brazil --Fl?via Maria Bastos, CGB Coordinator General Coordination of Libraries Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP), Brazil --Mariana Curado Malta CEISE/ISCAP - Polytechnic of Oporto, Portugal Algoritmi Center - University of Minho, Portugal ============================ To unsubscribe: http://bit.ly/web4lib Web4Lib Web Site: http://web4lib.org/ 2014-12-20 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Libraries and memory organizations have rich content and resources that the Web can not see or use. The Libhub Initiative aims to find common ground for libraries, providers, and partners to publish and use data with non-proprietary web standards. Libraries can then communicate in a way Web applications understand and Web users can see through the use of enabling technology like Linked Data and shared vocabularies such as schema.org and BIBFRAME. The Libhub Initiative uniquely prioritizes the linking of these newly exposed library resources to each other and to other resources across the Web, a critical requirement of increased Web visibility. In this webinar, Eric will talk about the transition libraries must make to achieve Web visibility, explain recent trends that support these efforts, and introduce the Libhub Initiative -- an active exploration of what can happen when libraries begin to speak the language of the Web. *Presenter: Eric Miller* Eric Miller is the President of Zepheira. Prior to founding Zepheira, Eric led the Semantic Web Initiative for the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) at MIT where he led the architectural and technical leadership in the design and evolution of the Semantic Web. Eric is a frequent and sought after international speaker in areas of International Web standards, knowledge management, collaboration, development and deployment. ============================ To unsubscribe: http://bit.ly/web4lib Web4Lib Web Site: http://web4lib.org/ 2014-12-30 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
