From roytennant at GMAIL.COM Fri Nov 11 12:39:18 2011 From: roytennant at GMAIL.COM (Roy Tennant) Date: Fri, 11 Nov 2011 09:39:18 -0800 Subject: List Transition Message-ID: Dear Web4Lib Subscribers, I am writing to let you know that this list has now transitioned from WebJunction to the University of Notre Dame. To send messages to the list you now send them to web4lib at listserv.nd.edu. In this transition we have moved from the Mailman list management software to LISTSERV [?]. Unfortunately this means any settings you have created will be lost. However, I?m hopeful that you will find the LISTSERV software easy to use to recreate the settings you wish to have. When you first connect to http://listserv.nd.edu/ you will need to create a password, but once having done that, and after confirming it, you will be able to login and manage your account, including resetting to get the list by digest if you wish. I am also using this as an opportunity to establish a permanent domain for this list, which will is your one-stop location to find information about the list and pointers to the archive, etc. Only the list itself, and it's future archives, will be hosted by Notre Dame. I am hosting the hub web site for the list, including the legacy archives. In closing, I want to thank the WebJunction staff for hosting the list for a number of years. I can?t remember when I moved it there from UC Berkeley, but it was well before I joined OCLC four and a half years ago. We?ve done well at OCLC, but the opportunity to move to the LISTSERV platform where Code4Lib is hosted proved too hard to resist. Eric Morgan at Notre Dame has been very helpful.

First of all, I am from the beautiful islands of Palau, which is among the Micronesian Islands as well. I work at an Academic library in Palau, which is housed at the Palau Community College. The only college in Palau. I read your postings and was very much interested in Mobile Libs. I'm not sure what it is though, but we are in the process of starting or introducing some sort of a Mobile Library as in a Van or Bus.Is it the same thing??? We are trying to establish one so that we can serve other states or villages in Palau that does not have access to the internet or that has scarce services to the internet or library at all. I would much appreciate if you would offer any suggestions or advice since you guys are way ahead of us in terms of technology and services. Your help would mean so much to us, as we are striving to keep up with the rest of the world.... Thank You..... Regards and Blessings from the beautiful Island of Palau.

Our Library management system is Symphony version 3.4. We use an add on product called Librarything for libraries which gives us book covers and more. The LibraryThing team developed a further add on called LibraryAnywhere LibraryAnywhere allows the catalogue to be used on mobile phones and Tablets such as the iPad. It allows users to search for books reserve items and renew items from their mobile phone or tablet. to see what we do go to http://library.burdekin.qld.gov.au There is a link part way down the page that you type into a browser on your phone and it will load our catalogue and you can explore. This is I suspect an examp,le of what you may be looking for. If I can help further please post questions here and I will do my best to answer it for you. kind regards John Manager, Library Services Burdekin Shire Council ________________________________ From: Web technologies in libraries on behalf of Joleen Phillip Sent: Mon 11/14/2011 6:41 PM To: WEB4LIB at LISTSERV.ND.EDU Subject: Re: Library Web Apps and Mobile Apps Dear Michael and Precious, I am in awe and very much speechless.

To send messages to the list you now send them to web4lib at listserv.nd.edu. In this transition we have moved from the Mailman list management software to LISTSERV [T]. Unfortunately this means any settings you have created will be lost. However, I'm hopeful that you will find the LISTSERV software easy to use to recreate the settings you wish to have. When you first connect to http://listserv.nd.edu/ you will need to create a password, but once having done that, and after confirming it, you will be able to login and manage your account, including resetting to get the list by digest if you wish. I am also using this as an opportunity to establish a permanent domain for this list, which will is your one-stop location to find information about the list and pointers to the archive, etc. Only the list itself, and it's future archives, will be hosted by Notre Dame. I am hosting the hub web site for the list, including the legacy archives. In closing, I want to thank the WebJunction staff for hosting the list for a number of years. I can't remember when I moved it there from UC Berkeley, but it was well before I joined OCLC four and a half years ago. We've done well at OCLC, but the opportunity to move to the LISTSERV platform where Code4Lib is hosted proved too hard to resist. Eric Morgan at Notre Dame has been very helpful.

We contracted with Boopsie Inc. to create it for delivery of all major online functions. It took about 3 months from start to finish - much of the work on our end was writing the material that would eventually be seen in the app stores. The hardest part (for them) was developing a course reserves channel. Even though they have worked with other Innovative Interfaces libraries, they had never been asked to handle course reserves before NYLS. You can see a working preview at http://www.bit.ly/mendikmobile, or, if you go to that address on a mobile device you will be automatically sent to the appropriate app store. If you point your mobile device to http://lawlib.nyls.edu , you will be automatically redirected to the mobile site. The initial usage counts looked good, and the students seem very enthusiastic. As far as we can tell, we are the first law school library to create a full service application found in the major marketplaces.

To send messages to the list you now send them to web4lib at listserv.nd.edu. In this transition we have moved from the Mailman list management software to LISTSERV [T]. Unfortunately this means any settings you have created will be lost. However, I'm hopeful that you will find the LISTSERV software easy to use to recreate the settings you wish to have. When you first connect to http://listserv.nd.edu/ you will need to create a password, but once having done that, and after confirming it, you will be able to login and manage your account, including resetting to get the list by digest if you wish. I am also using this as an opportunity to establish a permanent domain for this list, which will is your one-stop location to find information about the list and pointers to the archive, etc. Only the list itself, and it's future archives, will be hosted by Notre Dame. I am hosting the hub web site for the list, including the legacy archives. In closing, I want to thank the WebJunction staff for hosting the list for a number of years. I can't remember when I moved it there from UC Berkeley, but it was well before I joined OCLC four and a half years ago. We've done well at OCLC, but the opportunity to move to the LISTSERV platform where Code4Lib is hosted proved too hard to resist. Eric Morgan at Notre Dame has been very helpful.

Our mobile version of the website has been live for about 1 month; and patrons are only just now beginning to use it regularly. We will be adding seamless access to several more DB vendors' apps from this website very soon. We haven't analyzed official statistics yet; but patrons that have spoken to me are using it to check availability of titles, place holds, and find locations of branches, in that order. Those using devices with larger screens and more featured browsers are getting the most out of it.

Sent: Monday, November 14, 2011 9:46 AM To: WEB4LIB at LISTSERV.ND.EDU Subject: Re: List Transition; request for list identification in brackets Hi all, It's clear it can be set up by each one, and also that one can filter e-mail based on e-mail addresses or other criteria, but as I was just assuming that many of us are using the filters based on the subject as it is the easiest option, so leaving it just as it was before would not require any modification by anyone. That's why some of us requested it. Anyway Roy Tennant is already working on it, so thank you. 2011/11/14 Edward Bilodeau, Mr. > Hi all, I believe that these are one of the settings that Roy mentioned we would have to reset in our preferences. Head over to https://listserv.nd.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=WEB4LIB and change Mail Header Style to the second choice (LISTSERV-style, with list name in the subject). That setting has worked fine for me.

While I know everyone is busy, it's fairly easy to go in and change the settings (or just unsubscribe altogether), and will probably take less time than 50 people e-mailing Roy and having him try to do that manually, along with trying to get the listserv back in its usual shape. Just in case the link doesn't appear, here it is: http://bit.ly/web4lib Just 1) click "get a new listserv password" 2) fill out the form 3) check the confirmation email, follow that link 4) log in 5) manage settings or unsubscribe. Altogether, it will take as much time as there are steps on the list, and then your inboxes (like mine, as I switched back to digest mode), will be nice and calm again!

I was wondering if anyone had any usage statistics on virtual reference services in midsize public libraries (25,000 - 75,000 pop.)? How often are the services used, what percentage of your total reference questions do these questions comprise? How long have you had the service in place? What the annual cost to implement and then staff these services? I was also wondering what the main motivator behind the implementation of these services was? Has it been worth it? Do you think you've met your initial goals, or to be quite honest, is it something you just felt that you should have? I appreciate any guidance or background you can give me.

We have hundreds of libraries that have used our system to mobilize not only their catalogs, but also add other reference material, special collections, library locations, hours and events - amongst other things. The process is very simple and does not require technical resources on the library's behalf other than perhaps a MARC record extract to allow our Smart Prefix search. We create native mobile applications for all smartphone platforms as well as generate a mobile friendly html site. The key advantage to using a native mobile applications is discoverability. A library patron will naturally go to the App Store or Android Market to find their library's application. Then, the branded logo of the library is always on the 'desktop' of the phone and easy for a patron to locate. We also have direct access into OverDrive content as well as other epub providers - which is extremely efficient Also, an advantage of our architecture is that you can use our native technology for the features that we cover (catalog, etc.) and you can integrate any jQuery work you do within the application as well - so you get the best of both worlds. Some of our library customers are: http://ccpl.boopsie.com Cuyahoga Public Library http://spl.boopsie.com Seattle Public Library http://mdx.boopsie.com Middlesex University http://mylibrary.boopsie.com High Plains Library District http://sccl.boopsie.com Santa Clara County Public http://lobo.boopsie.com University of New Mexico Feel free to email library at boopsie.com for further questions.

To send messages to the list you now send them to web4lib at listserv.nd.edu. In this transition we have moved from the Mailman list management software to LISTSERV [T]. Unfortunately this means any settings you have created will be lost. However, I'm hopeful that you will find the LISTSERV software easy to use to recreate the settings you wish to have. When you first connect to http://listserv.nd.edu/ you will need to create a password, but once having done that, and after confirming it, you will be able to login and manage your account, including resetting to get the list by digest if you wish. I am also using this as an opportunity to establish a permanent domain for this list, which will is your one-stop location to find information about the list and pointers to the archive, etc. Only the list itself, and it's future archives, will be hosted by Notre Dame. I am hosting the hub web site for the list, including the legacy archives. In closing, I want to thank the WebJunction staff for hosting the list for a number of years. I can't remember when I moved it there from UC Berkeley, but it was well before I joined OCLC four and a half years ago. We've done well at OCLC, but the opportunity to move to the LISTSERV platform where Code4Lib is hosted proved too hard to resist. Eric Morgan at Notre Dame has been very helpful.

They are very well-used as we service the rural schools which have no other means of access to any othe library services. We also have mobile vans that provide internet access, therefore these are strictly mobile cybercafe. They are well-equiped with 10 laptops and courses on how to access the internet and search strategies are given. Perhaps, someone could clarify more about the mobile applications or lib web apps.

In essence build your website such that it formats the same pages to display properly on a range of devices, based on discrete screen widths. This has the added bonus of making your website easy to use on a netbook, or in cases where the browser window is sharing screen space with other applications. Kind of a cool example of a scholarly publishing system with footnotes browser which implements a responsive design: http://www.opensourcery.com/portfolio/projects/railroaded The screenshots do a good job of showing how the design changes based on screen width.

The main target was our foreign students. We did that in cooperation with a small video production company. Library staff members wrote the manuscript. The rule was: maximum one page of text. This type of video must not last longer than 1,5 minute. Are they longer people will lose interest in them. So instead of one long video we produced four short videos. Each with focus on a specific subject or service. The production company did all the shooting, editing, practical stuff, found the actor etc. The worked very well. They have all the professional equipment and software and could find a solution to much of the technical apects. They videos are four years old now and a bit outdated. So we have to think of a way to update them. Maybe ask the company to edit them down to two videos. The videos can found on our YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/cbslibrary 1.

Native apps are great, but should only be used to provide extra features that require use of the phone's specialized components (gps, accelerometer, etc.). I really believe that you should build your core functionality on the mobile web, and then move it into a native app as needed. This is the core of Facebook's "write once build run everywhere" approach, which has been pretty successful. And, as he pointed out, that doesn't have to be subpar. With html5, css3 and Javascript you can get some pretty amazing web based applications. I'm writing this on Gmail, which acts much more like a stand alone email client than a "a simple web page." For what it's worth I touched on some of this in a panel I was on last weekfor the Society for Scholarly Publishing Fall Seminar on mobile app development. If you're interested take a look at the speaker's notes, I've included a pretty detailed transcript. -Bill On Mon, Nov 14, 2011 at 3:19 PM, Leo Robert Klein wrote: > Well, I can absolutely see the need to make our content > 'mobile-friendly'*.

I then went in to http://bit.ly/web4lib and had to create a listserv password, which I did. Then, followed on-screen instructions and clicked option to leave the web4lib list. Response was to wait for an e-mail and follow instructions in that e-mail. That was about 5 or 10 minutes ago and I have still not received the promised e-mail (usually when promised an e-mail, it comes through right away). In the meantime, 5 or 6 list messages have come through. I think people are getting frustrated (I know I am) because leaving the list seems needlessly complicated and also even when you follow instructions given they don't seem to work.

I like Jing (http://www.techsmith.com/jing.html), but their free version might be too limited for your needs. (And I'm not sure I understood what you said about "recording shots on another computer" -- but I don't know that Jing would allow that.) CamStudio (http://camstudio.org/) is free and open source, and much loved by the Lifehacker community, but I haven't had a chance to play with it.

Isn't putting "To unsubscribe: http://bit.ly/web4lib" at the bottom of every post enough? Not all mailing lists are set up the same way. Most of the ones I subscribe to (Code4lib, lita-l) are reply-all by default, and although there is an occasional flub, there aren't many. Other lists (PubLib) are reply-to-poster by default. I would guess that most are set to do whatever the server default. Cary On Wed, Nov 16, 2011 at 5:34 AM, DeVane, Annie wrote: > Roy, > I feel like this listserv is a bit out of hand at the moment.

I have summarized all responses below. I will enjoy seeing all of these as we make plans to do our own video. Again, thanks. What a great forum! David David P. Moore Interim Director M. Louis Salmon Library U. Alabama Huntsville david.moore at uah.edu (256)-824-6540 On 14 November 2011 18:57, David Moore wrote: All, I am interested in creating a promotional video that highlights our library and its services/features, and I?m looking for some good examples to give me some ideas. If your library has done such a promo, please share a link with me. It could be something like following a student (actor) as she uses certain library services with voice over explanations, or maybe an upbeat ?commercial? with background music, that simply highlights our services?I don?t know. I have the staff and equipment to do something nice, but they are telling me to give them some ideas on what I want, in order to get started. Any suggestions would be appreciated! ---REPLIES:----- Hi David Have a look at "animoto". http://animoto.com We used it for this. http://www.berlin10.org ______________________________________________________________________________________________ I am a videographer that has done web content for public and private sector organizations. My suggestion would be for you to collaborate with your marketing team on the overall messages/story you want to tell. From there you can decide what the right content/tone is based on your target audience. I realize this is more strategic advice than tactical examples (which is what you asked for), but hopefully it's helpful. ________________________________________________________________________________________________ Your quality depends on your budget and the creativity within your group. Story boarding as a deliverable is a good idea before any material or prototype is created. Example 1: http://youtu.be/xhBYGI6Tfzo Example 2: http://youtu.be/asYUI0l6EtE Direction (use if you like, its only one idea) 0. Gather information you want to use, only 3 things to remember 1. Have your department create a script and story 2. Script read with many voices like Example 2 3. Show services with locations in a map like Example 1 4. Use screenshots instead of video recording a person using it Float your video everywhere, facebook, youtube and other social sites. The more quality you bring probably will get more people to come see you. _____________________________________________________________________________ Here is a link to a UTK Libraries tour made by students. Concept Is good; not all of the information is accurate, but it is a good starting point. http://youtu.be/5JrvMFqSvm4 _______________________________________________________________________________ We have a video tour (5 minutes in length) on our website. It is hosted on our youtube chanel and is plugged into our website: http://library.duke.edu/about/virtualtour.html _______________________________________________________________________________ Both of these examples are about our library, but neither was done by us. The first one was done by a Journalism student, for a class project at the University of Oregon, and the second was done more recently by the Eugene Public Library Foundation, our major fundraising support organization. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hC1Hc-qQeL0&feature=player_embedded http://vimeo.com/29616297 _______________________________________________________________________________ Here is our Library video: http://www.youtube.com/user/simmonscollege#p/u/2/iUZNt19ExG0 We just created it this past fall. _________________________________________________________________________________ My library made the following to promote our library to teens: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQgcx9usvNw This might give you some ideas! _________________________________________________________________________________ My local public library (with whom I am not affiliated :)) recently had a pretty nice promotional video done for them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZVx1eGDeRs Of course, you've probably seen some of the funny ones, like the student pretending to be the Old Spice guy ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ArIj236UHs)? I can't find it, but there was a college that did a murder mystery-themed video, which was a neat idea--if you are very excited about that idea, I'll try harder to find the existing one for you. And I'm not sure NYPL really had a lot to do with this one, planning-wise, but Improv Everywhere did a Ghostbusters-themed prank, which was caught on video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKB7zfopiUA. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Back in December 2007 Copenhagen Business School Library produced four videos for marketing purposes. The main target was our foreign students. We did that in cooperation with a small video production company. Library staff members wrote the manuscript. The rule was: maximum one page of text. This type of video must not last longer than 1,5 minute. Are they longer people will lose interest in them. So instead of one long video we produced four short videos. Each with focus on a specific subject or service. The production company did all the shooting, editing, practical stuff, found the actor etc. The worked very well. They have all the professional equipment and software and could find a solution to much of the technical apects. They videos are four years old now and a bit outdated. So we have to think of a way to update them. Maybe ask the company to edit them down to two videos. The videos can found on our YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/cbslibrary 1.

In-Reply-To: Message-ID: We are in the same position as you, in that we were planning to migrate to the new platform, but have some doubts about the wisdom of doing this. We just signed up with Serials Solutions, which is a ProQuest subsidiary. In the Serials Solutions client center (the admin interface) they list the number of journal titles in each database, and for the ProQuest databases, they list them separately for the "Legacy interface" and the new platform. In almost every case, the legacy platform has more journal titles than the new platform. If the Serials Solutions information is accurate, we'd be losing access to some ProQuest content if we switched over. There's also at least one database (PQ Health & Medical Complete) where we might gain new content on the new version, but there's some corresponding name confusion in that case. I have asked both ProQuest and Serials Solutions support about this, and have not gotten a satisfactory answer yet. (Basically, the front line tech support said they didn't know but would look into it.) Also, at least in Serials Solutions, there seems to be some confusion over whether some of the Legacy platform database names are the same as the new platform names. The differences are small, but I don't like to lose content just to switch to a new interface, particularly when we don't see it as an improvement over the old interface. Examples: Database - # of titles: ProQuest Central (Legacy) - 13155 ProQuest Central (new) - 13102 ABI/INFORM Global (Legacy) - 2864 ABI/INFORM Global (new) - 2851 ProQuest Health & Medical Complete (Legacy) - 1675 Health & Medical Complete - 1875 Health & Medical Complete (new) - 1875 (no entry for "ProQuest Health & Medical Complete" on new platform) I've noticed that the journals tracking services associated with particular database vendors are not particularly accurate when tracking the publications from those vendors. When we had EBSCO AtoZ they weren't very accurate about EBSCOhost holdings, either. I was very satisfied with the 1cate/WorldCatLinkManager openURL/journals list service and I'm sorry that OCLC is no longer offering it. They paid a lot of attention to data accuracy, and their tech support was outstanding. -- Stacy Pober Information Alchemist Manhattan College Library Riverdale, NY 10471 stacy.pober at manhattan.edu On Mon, Nov 21, 2011 at 2:27 PM, Munson, Doris wrote: > Hello, > > We're considering switching to the new ProQuest platform over winter > intersession.

Examples: Database???????????????????-? # of titles: ProQuest Central (Legacy) - 13155 ProQuest Central (new)? -???? 13102 ABI/INFORM Global (Legacy) - 2864 ABI/INFORM Global (new) - 2851 ProQuest Health & Medical Complete? (Legacy) - 1675 Health & Medical Complete - 1875 Health & Medical Complete (new) -? 1875 (no entry for "ProQuest Health & Medical Complete" on new platform) I've noticed that the journals tracking services associated with particular database vendors are not particularly accurate when tracking the publications from those vendors.?? When we had EBSCO AtoZ they weren't very accurate about EBSCOhost holdings, either. I was very satisfied with the 1cate/WorldCatLinkManager openURL/journals list service and I'm sorry that OCLC is no longer offering it.? They paid a lot of attention to data accuracy, and their tech support was outstanding. -- Stacy Pober Information Alchemist Manhattan College Library Riverdale, NY 10471 stacy.pober at manhattan.edu On Mon, Nov 21, 2011 at 2:27 PM, Munson, Doris wrote: Hello, We're considering switching to the new ProQuest platform over winter intersession. ?However, I've heard there are still some problems with it and would like to know if this is really the case.

Message-ID: We have been using the new interface since the summer when all of our Proquest databases were available in the new interface. The interface issue that bothered us the most has been fixed. The admin module now lets you choose whether the default is full text searching or all-fields-except-fulltext searching. For a very long time, the default was full text searching (with no way to change it in the admin module), which worked "okay" with a relevance sort but had hideous consequences when you changed the sort order to publication date (i.e., lots of extremely marginal items showed up in the results). Getting this fixed was a HUGE improvement for those trying to teach students good search techniques. An interface issue that we're still not happy about is how the search terms are displayed at the top of the results screen after a Basic search. Instead of simply showing the terms that were searched, Proquest formats the search in a search box so that a search for "virtual reality" shows up like this: all("virtual reality") There is a note and an "information" icon immediately above that explains what "all" means, but students don't know what to do with that format when they need to modify the search. It would be far better -- remember, this was a Basic search -- to just show the original search entered, which was: "virtual reality." The use of this format by Proquest also has a disturbing impact if you have autocomplete turned on. As you begin to type additional terms to modify your search, autocomplete provides autocomplete options for the word "all" since it is the first word. However, all("virtual reality") is better than what was being shown three weeks ago which was: cabs("virtual reality"). "CABS" had been the new interface designation for citation-and-abstract field searching, which was a mystery abbreviation even for "Advanced search" users. We turned off autocomplete when we realized that the autocomplete suggestions of "cabs" and "taxi cabs" added an additional layer of confusion for students. My opinion is that it is safe to make the switch, but I'll be curious to hear if others have different opinions. Every Proquest maintenance seems to tweak the interface. We just subscribed to Proquest Dissertations & Theses - Full Text, and it is in the new interface. I noticed that it was on the list that someone sent of the yet-to-be-migrated databases.

It's time consuming to create them sometimes, especially when we don't own the physical version of the ebook, nor can I find one (in DDC) through worldcat. When patrons do a search for a title, they get access to the full record, call number and all. We're still trying to figure out how best to handle them, but our library management system isn't the most robust for dealing with electronic resources. The main reason we create copy records for each ebook is so that we can get rid of them, should we stop subscribing to a database/vendor - in hindsight, that seems like a silly reason to create a copy record but we are pretty much new to the ebook/library catalog cat and mouse game.

If you have an official policy, and wouldn't mind sharing, please send it to me (whether attached as a document or link) off-list. If there's interest, I'll happily summarize for the group. Would love to hear from public libraries especially, but academics/specials/everyone too. Other things we'd like to know: 1. Do you require administrator moderation for user-generated content? 2. If you allow/require users to create web site accounts, do you limit account creation to your library users only, or can anyone create an account and add content? 3. If you do require user verification, how do you accomplish that? Manually? Automatically against the ILS? 4. Do you delete user accounts after a period of inactivity? If yes, how long? Our situation: we currently allow anyone to create an account in the public-facing Drupal site, but the result, no surprise, is that we have hundreds of junk/spam accounts and only a few legitimate users writing book reviews. We want to clean up the user data in the database, but also have some guidance/governance moving forward to prevent this in the future. We also want to keep the process easy for the legitimate users who want to create content, especially because the current iteration of the site was designed to encourage user-written reviews, and we do have a handful of people who write nice, even multi-lingual, reviews. I want them to feel that it's easy to contribute, but on the other hand, I'm pretty sure user "Canadian-Pharmacy-RX" isn't interested in talking about the bestseller s/he just read...

Date: Tue, 22 Nov 2011 18:07:54 +0000 Subject: ebook Call Numbers In-Reply-To: Message-ID: IMO the principal reason to add call numbers to ebooks is to be able to determine use by subject, just as we do for print books (pbooks.) If ebooks did not have call numbers, we would not be able to compare their use with the usage data for pbooks. Without those data, we would not know whether our expenditures in particular subjects were optimal or even the areas where we need more or fewer ebooks. Usage data for ebooks are available from the vendors, but the subject categories are typically broad and in any event do not have the precision of an LC call number. Our approval profile is organized by call number or LC classification. As we start to receive ebooks via approval, the absence of call numbers would introduce an element of complexity in our evaluation of approval expenditures. Perhaps the best way to make the point is this: If you consider a book a book, regardless of its format, then there should be a common way to know the subjects of all our books. And since we are not going to reclassify our stock of books, ebooks need to have the same call numbers as pbooks. L.

The function(s) of call numbers definitely seems to be relevant but I suspect it goes deeper. For my part, I pretty strongly agree with those advocating for display of call numbers on e-books for members. (The necessity of e-book call numbers at least for staff use seems to be beyond dispute-when a dept. chair wants a list of all titles relevant to her new program proposal, she means *all* titles, print or e-, to take just one example.) Most of our more advanced users (grad students and faculty) know the call number ranges relevant to their fields, and it's valuable to them to be able to browse a list that combines all items in their field, print, e-, a/v, whatever. Additionally, I've sometimes worked with students who were able to identify relevant LCC classes from call numbers on relevant e-books and from there find more relevant print books on the shelves. We try to train students to look at the location of the item in addition to the call number. Even setting aside e-books, the assumption that a call number by itself will take them to the item is false, as we have several different locations besides the stacks. Not everyone at my institution agrees. There certainly was some confusion among our members when e-books were first introduced to the catalog, but that's since been mitigated by prominent "e-book" item type icons, not to mention the time to get used to it. It's an interesting question, so thanks to Jennifer for asking it. Matthew ---------------------------------------------- Matthew W.

We use a local 099 field designation of ELECTRONIC BOOKS instead. We don't strip the LC numbers from the records, though, as we do with the fields for Dewey and NLM call numbers. I leave those fields in just in case we want to use LC numbers for these books at some future date, though they are not seen by the patrons unless they poke around in the MARC version of the record. One of the strategies for finding books on a topic is to browse by call number, so I can certainly see why some libraries use them for the ebooks.

However, our eBrary title-level data for example do include LC call numbers, as well as other valuable information. Here is the list: This report provides detailed usage for each title on your channel, including views, copies, prints, turnaways and wait queue, along with percent utilization (based on the number of unique pages accessed) for views copies and prints You can select metadata columns to include. License, types, title, BISAC category and subcategory, Dewey, LC call number, author, publisher/imprint, content owner, pages and document type. This is of course excellent information and should be demanded in every RFP for ebooks, particularly the publisher information. And of course the catalogue department needs to make sure that the call number supplied by the vendor is not stripped out during record loads. In the absence of call numbers in vendor reports, we just need a common ID in our catalogue and in the vendor usage reports. ISBN or OCLC number might do. Hunter L.

The call number data is not used as call numbers for ebooks in our library, but they have been used routinely by us for many other purposes (collection development, statistics based on call number range, etc. etc.) In a network shared environment, I think that keeping data in the MARC records are encouraging sharing by more libraries as long as they are correct and not interfering with discovery and delivery. Keeping data in the record which have been created by someone (may be spending time on it) will not compromise the integrity of the database. You can decide on what data to display, index and use in our current ILS landscape. We are now getting MARC records from so many different sources, keeping data as is will simplify record source tracking.

Also, screen readers read the material in the order that it appears in the code; so you should make sure the flow on information makes sense (since flow order of the divs positioned with CSS doesn't matter visually). 3. Another addition that helps dissabled patrons in the form of a time saver is a visually invisible anchor link (we put ours in tiny white text over a white background; but there are lots of ways to do it) that allows the familiar user to by pass the navigation menus and go directly to the content of a page. 4. Make submenus on additional pages available as an additional path to content in javascript pop-outs and the like - things are probably inactive for screen readers.

I'm now wondering about your experiences with technology plans. Basically, does your library have a technology plan, and if so, do you ever refer to it? Interestingly enough, the library where I am employed has a technology plan but for the 4 years I worked there I never knew about it! I only found it by accident because I had to write a technology plan for a MLS assignment (I found it on Google). I was wondering if others were in this situation also or does your library actively refer to its technology plan? Thanks in advance!

It takes some technical skill to install - you need to know a little unix to install Greenstone. Once it is installed, the interface is more graphical. The look and feel can be customized through a series of forms, accounts can be made for people to upload photos and enter metadata. It automatically includes Dublin Core fields, and you can create custom metadata fields. You can also get plug-ins to ingest metadata in XML, MARC, CDS/ISIS, ProCite, BibTex, Refer, OAI, DSpace, METS forms. In Greenstone, straight uploading photos, entering metadata, and tweaking the color scheme and graphics in the interface was simple. Installing the initial set-up was a little complicated. I'm fairly technical (from the library side, not the IT side), had access to someone who had worked with Greenstone before, and could do the install OK. University of Florida digital libraries uses Greenstone, with in-house modifications: http://digital.uflib.ufl.edu/ >From talking to people who have used both, Greenstone and Omeka are comparable. -Wilhelmina Randtke On Mon, Nov 28, 2011 at 9:02 AM, Slavinski, Kate < slavinskik1 at owls.southernct.edu> wrote: > I am in the process of creating a digital display of old photographs for > the archives where I work, and I was wondering if anyone can share some > good experiences with open source software for digital photograph displays. > > Thank you for your help, > > Kate Slavinski > > MLS Student > > Southern Connecticut State University > ============================ > > To unsubscribe: http://bit.ly/web4lib > > Web4Lib Web Site: http://web4lib.org/ > > 2011-11-28 > > ============================ To unsubscribe: http://bit.ly/web4lib Web4Lib Web Site: http://web4lib.org/ 2011-11-28 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I made a very simple digital library with this free, open source, online software. No prior experience necessary and the results come out looking great. The standard features are free and they give you a lot of good options. However, if you're looking for something with a bit more options, you can pay a subscription fee and get a bit more storage, plugins and themes. Greenstone, on the otherhand, I've known a lot of people who have had trouble working the system. I think, if you're looking for something simple, you can get great results with little hassle with Omeka. Obviously, the other option is to create a digital library right from a simple website, you just have to create all the metadata yourself rather than using a program.

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 is December 12, 2010.

The quality of reviews ranged vastly, but I found them generally helpful. The real problem was the vast number number of books that just don't have reviews, even in systems that pooled reviews from different libraries to make them feel less like ghost towns. I do think there is a place for patron content in the library catalog, but it needs to be implemented intelligently. Bibliocommons is a promising example.

We're currently using a mixture of Blacklight, XTF and Drupal, and we see a lot of promise in augmenting Blacklight with both finding aids and "exhibit-y" features so it can support all three functions in the same stack and on the same data store. Notre Dame has done some very good work in extending Blacklight to support items such as collection landing pages, customized views and customized facets in a plugin they are calling Atrium. From their ticketing system at https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/HYGALL: A Blacklight plugin for managing and creating collections and digital exhibits of content exposed through Blacklight and Solr. It supports creating multiple collections quickly while each can focus on a subset or all content within a Solr database. Within each collection you can add multiple exhibits. Each exhibit supports a dynamically generated browse experience through selected browsable facets, with ability to add descriptive text and feature sources at each level of the browse navigation. And Jason Ronallo at NCSU has done similar good work focusing on delivering digital collections and special collections via Blacklight: see http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/specialcollections/ and browse about. We're currently planning to follow in both their footsteps. This will should help us achieve several benefits, including search, faceted browsing, hierarchical browsing, collection / component commentary, and customizable display layer for UI tweaks. And of course we'd get the side benefits of having exhibits and finding aids in our overarching discovery layer, as well as avoiding duplication of data, and reducing the number of stand-alone applications (and platforms) we have to support. - Tom | Tom Cramer | Chief Technology Strategist & Associate Director | Digital Library Systems & Services | Stanford University Libraries & Academic Information Resources | Stanford University | tcramer at stanford.edu On Nov 28, 2011, at 10:38 AM, Erin R White/FS/VCU wrote: > While we're on the topic of digital exhibits: > > Is anyone else grappling with finding a graceful unified way to showcase > and manage online exhibits and digital collections? > > For us, > > Exhibits = curated items representing a larger physical collection, lots > of text, sometimes in tandem with a physical exhibit (think Omeka) > > Digital collections = entire collections as-is, usually lots of items, > little to no accompanying text (think CONTENTdm) > > > We've got two separate special collections and archives departments in two > libraries, a digital collections website, a digital exhibits page and our > ETDs, all in separate silos.

Be extremely wary of building a "digital library right from a simple website". Doing this takes more skill and awareness to get metadata right and have metadata and objects in a way that will let you export the metadata and transport your digital objects about or participate in harvesting projects. A collection of static links to static images and pdfs will lead to frustration later, because it's not going to let you promote your content, do any kind of adequate search, or deal with changes in technology standards in a non-labor intensive way. For building an interoperable digital library, at a minimum, I think you need an sql server with metadata in a database. It's possible you could do static content and embed metadata in the digital objects. This seems more sophisticated than using a digital library platform, because the tools to do it aren't as readily available as are digital library tools. Also, for metadata embedded in objects, the goal is to allow metadata harvesting, not to remain static forever. Does this make sense - the difference between static linked objects versus an interoperable collection of objects and metadata? -Wilhelmina Randtke On Mon, Nov 28, 2011 at 1:51 PM, Ellen Paul wrote: > Omeka was as easy as can be.

Tagging in services like delicious or Flickr (although much rarer in the latter) makes sense from a pragmatic perspective. It helps the user find their own stuff. The catalog isn't used like that, however (except in cases like bookbag features -- even there the scale isn't going to be big enough to warrant classification, though). Why would I go through and *look* for things I've read and give them tags? I realize that that's *exactly* what people do at LibraryThing and GoodReads, but the scale, and more importantly, the motivation (that is, after all, why people signed up in the first place) is there. Rather than "adding tagging", it would be a much better use of effort for the library to build other services (reading groups, reading lists, etc.) as the seed for social content creation and integrate that back into the catalog. -Ross.

It's been used in different public library systems by a lot of users, anyhow the tagging feature is not used so much. Instead the review capability is really appreciated from our users. The only side effect is the ability to browse reviews and reviewed material. A lot of people prefer to blog about her/his last reading, instead to enrich the library's catalog, where is difficult to see the review. Our next software release will integrate the reviews in a forum architecture, so the user will be able to read the reviews under each manifestation page or as a forum post.

In 3rd party databases (ProQuest, Google Scholar, Web of Science, etc.) and other places where the link doesn't know that it will get full text, we use the MGet It logo and/or the text "Availability at U-Michigan". In our Summon-powered article discovery tool, which theoretically knows when full text is going to be available, we use the MGet It logo and the appropriate label "Full Text" or "Citation Only". Where the link is theoretically full text, we include a link to report a problem getting to full text. The problem report form asks for the user's campus email address and a description, from a list of likely options, of what went wrong. This report goes to our "ask a librarian" reference service for triage. Actual problems with the full-text link end up in Technical Services; the rest are resolved with the user directly. You can see this in action at http://www.lib.umich.edu/searchtools#articlesplus/search -- you will see the two kinds of links in the search results, even if you aren't able to get to our licensed full text copy. -- Ken Varnum Web Systems Manager E: varnum at umich.edu University of Michigan Library T: 734-615-3287 300C Hatcher Graduate Library F: 734-647-6897 Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1190 http://www.lib.umich.edu/users/varnum On 11/30/11 1:21 PM, "Sherry Youssef" wrote: >Good Morning! > >I am a member of my institution library's Web Advisory Committee and we >are >in the discussion of changing the wording of our Linksource link.

I construct URLs one at a time for catalog results by passing parameters to the searchresults page. This is done slightly differently depending on what website platform is being used. Ours look something like this: http://www.yourdomain.com/searchresult.aspx?bid=64576534 You may be able to get examples of how to do this from the documentation for your ILS. This example is based on our own unique identifier for each record. If you can configure one that is based on the ISBN that works to retrieve correct book records in your catalog AND you can configure the links in OpenBook to use the string you supply (the whole URL construct with everything but the variable value) and then specify to OpenBook what value from their record that you want to tack onto the string, you may be able to set up something that works.
