I believe the second article in this issue, "Public Library Closures 2," is particularly important--and it's original research--so I'm sending it again.] Cites & Insights 12:4 (May 2012) is now available for downloading at http://citesandinsights.info/civ12i4.pdf The issue is 44 pages long. It is also available in a 6x9" single-column version, optimized for viewing on edevices (and idevices bigger than phones) and available at http://citesandinsights.info/civ12i4on.pdf That version (exactly the same text, but somewhat cruder appearance) is 82 pages long; if you plan to print, please download the regular version! The issue includes the following (each essay also available as an HTML separate at http://citesandinsights.info, noting that the single graph in the second section may not appear properly): The Front (pp. 1-2) Breaking down The Middle: why there won' be a long series of wholly miscellaneous sections with that heading. Also some notes on the reality since I took action based on reader polls (including the truth about people's willingness, so far, to pay the lower suggested donations). Libraries: Public Library Closures 2 (pp. 2-14) Investigating 1998-2009. Another original research piece, this one involving a lot more research, reducing the number of apparently-closed (based on IMLS changes) public libraries over the last 12 years from 785 to...well, read the story. Includes a proud admission of error, a case where I'm delighted my original guess was way off base. The Middle: Futurism (pp. 14-33) A roundup of trends and other bits of futurism--but really the first half of a two-part roundup (the second half, Forecasts, probably in the next issue, deals with short-term assertions, the kind that can be checked readily). Social Networks: The Social Network Scene, part 3 (pp. 33-44) Completing the catch-up effort on social networking items that don't fit into a subgroup.

I think that the "stories" -- the narrative descriptions of what might happen as patrons use libraries -- help clarify security issues. For example, to install the FireSheep add-on for Firefox, all a user needs to do is restart Firefox (not reboot the computer). What access does this action give the user to other computers on the same network? Another: Faronics Deep Freeze resets the computer to a preferred state when the computer is rebooted. But if the computer is running with downlevel software, such as Java, Flash, or Adobe Reader, which see very frequent security updates, is that user vulnerable to drive-by downloads for the duration of his/her session? What advice can (and should) libraries give to patrons who are using public-access PCs to do online shopping and online banking? Or, for that matter, their own laptops while connected to the library WiFi. Just watching for https in the address bar (and other patrons shoulder-surfing) might not be sufficient. Many Windows 7 PCs have network discovery turned on in the "Public" location. Whoops. And Mac OS X computers have sharing options turned on by default, not only in System Preferences but also in iTunes, iPhoto, or iChat preferences. Whoops again. Smartphones can be set up to connect to WiFi networks. WiFi networds can be set to turn on "wireless isolation" or "AP isolation" to prevent device-to-device connection. This would prevent wireless access to printers, and wireless access to patrons' own devices (for example, for copying photos from a smartphone to a computer). Lots of topics here....

How the solution works: - capture the library area code (library has four areas: A, B, C, D); - capture the first numbers of the item call number (DDC), and for some cases also the author's marks (Cutter-Sanborn 3 figures); - lookup the stack code on a matrix for that combination (DDC+Cutter); - open a GIF image with that stack code. Eg: Area is: "A" Item call number is: "T 301.18 A447i" Takes: "A, T, 301.18" Lookup for "A, 301.18" in the matrix Find A25 as the stacks line Show A25.gif Google SketchUp requires some practice, however once the image is created, it's easy to be edited later.

I created the general outline of the building, and reused it for each floor. I did the same for shelves, tables, etc. The key for me was using layers and grouping like items in folders. I could create a shelf image once as its own layer and then just recreate the layer as many times as need, combining layers as I went, and move things. I have been able to use the same, large, master file to create maps for our website, evacuation maps, and brochures. It is great having everything in layers because as the building changes I can just go back into those master files and move around layers and create what we need. Let me know if you have any questions about the process or want to see a file.

Sorta like being spammed - in a good way though. I honestly didn't think that many people would be interested in security for libraries. Rather than individually add the over 100 responses to an email distribution list, I want to send out an invite to a Google discussion group - SEC4LIB. Here we can discuss security for libraries and also determine how to proceed in organizing the SEC4LIB group. This Google group may only be a temporary home until the group decides how best to move forward, communicate and share ideas: http://groups.google.com/group/sec4lib I want to clarify a few things as the SEC4LIB discussions move forward. As of now, this is an informal group to discuss and investigate existing security features and shortcomings of library services, applications, products, and solutions.This would include documenting, researching, investigating, and pen-testing library applications, services, products, and solutions. - Bring attention to the security aspect and concerns of library software, applications, services, products, and solutions - Address the concerns that as more enhancements to existing library applications, services, products, and solutions are implemented, securing those enhancements or new applications, services, products, and solutions are equally important - Work with vendors and providers to address security concerns in the products, services, applications, and solutions we depend on - Discuss general security practices and policies for library operations - Conduct research, investigations, and dialog in a professional manner Feel free to share this with colleagues and interested parties.

Their admin UI for this is very impressive. Patrons see a _Map_ link when the item is in the stacks in Green, with a pop up that includes a zoomable map of the appropriate floor, a dynamically drawn indicator to show the book's location on the floor, and text directions for navigating there (for accessibility). See http://searchworks.stanford.edu/view/9525542/ and click on the Map link (center column, below the book cover) for an example. - Tom On May 3, 2012, at 1:04 PM, Wilhelmina Randtke wrote: > What software have you found useful in making maps of the library interior? > > What I want to do is to make a map of the library stacks, showing what call numbers generally are located where, so that patrons can quickly look and see where to go to access a certain call number.

I still use Google Analytics, as well as a bunch of other analytics tools. On the plus side, Piwik stores data on your local drive rather than on Google, protecting user privacy. On the negative side, I've noticed that if I don't clean out the Piwik MySQL tables every once and awhile, it may crash. This is especially true if your server drive space is limited.

URL: From rballiot at GMAIL.COM Fri May 4 15:00:08 2012 From: rballiot at GMAIL.COM (Robert Balliot) Date: Fri, 4 May 2012 15:00:08 -0400 Subject: Security for Libraries (SEC4LIB) In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Blake has all three set up - with a Drupal based listserve already going. I defer to his expertise and the provenance he established by setting his site up months ago. I don't know who Erin is or her level of expertise. But, Blake had already established a list and a website with almost the exact same name and the exact theme - so I feel it was his original idea and therefore his call on what to do. I am going to leave the WP site up, mostly because I have lots of stuff to add to it that may be helpful as resources. I have a couple of papers I have written and some tools I would like to demo to give people without much exposure a general sense of the science and logic behind InfoSec and Digital Forensics. Although I love to have my work reviewed and edited and critiqued, I also like the freedom to self-publish and the WP site will facilitate that with very wide exposure. I am going to try to get to that at the end of this semester when I have a break.

Would anyone be interested in forming an informal SEC4LIB discussion group. This would be an informal group to discuss and investigate existing security features and shortcomings of library services and applications. This would essentially include documenting and pen-testing library applications and services. As background, I'm finishing a second Masters in Cybersecurity and have been "investigating" various library software and services. I've been do white-hat investigating on library software and services for about a year and reporting discoveries to vendors and sites. My goal is to bring attention to the security aspect of library software and services while working with vendors/providers to secure their products, services, applications, and solution. If your interested in the same, please contact me.

Discounted Registrations Now Available. The National Federation of Advanced Information Services (NFAIS) will hold a one-day workshop, Digital Information and User Behavior: Transforming Libraries, Content and Learning on June 15, 2012 in Philadelphia, PA from 9:00am ? 4:30pm EDST. Virtual attendance is optional for those unable to travel to Philadelphia and discounted registrations are available now through June 1st. The emergence of e-content, search engines and the Web more than twenty years ago has shaped a new generation of information seekers. How they access, read, and use information is fundamentally different from the behavior created by the print medium. This new behavior is transforming library infrastructures and services, is driving the conversion of books and textbooks into innovative tools for education, and is changing how traditional reference information is accessed and delivered. How has information behavior changed in academia? What new library infrastructures are being tested? Is a totally virtual library on the horizon? Are library collections changing and if so, how should the return on library investment being measured? Is the use of e-books and e-textbooks increasing significantly? How is the use of all this digital material changing the educational experience? And how are traditional reference works being delivered to meet the needs of today?s academic libraries and the users that they serve? This workshop will attempt to answer these questions and more as we take a look at the ongoing impact of digital information usage behavior on those who serve the information seeker. Highlights include: ? An overview of current digital information usage behavior by Carol Tenopir, Director of Research & Director of the Center for Information and Communication Studies, University of Tennessee. ? Case studies from Johns Hopkins University Medical library, Lesley University Library, and the Research Library at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York will look at the impact of digital information usage behavior on the future of physical holdings, collection development, new services, and the future of brick and mortar facilities. ? A look at the factors to be considered when measuring the ROI for libraries based upon recent research studies from Donald King, Distinguished Research Professor, School of Information and Library Science, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. ? Trends in global e-Book consumption from studies done by R. R. Bowker. ? A look at how traditional reference works and textbooks are being delivered to meet the needs of today?s users and an innovative classroom learning experience using e-textbooks and iPads recently piloted at Temple University in Philadelphia. ? A look at how current trends such as use of social media may impact the future of libraries, content and learning based on research from Cathy Marshall, Principal Researcher, Microsoft Research, Silicon Valley.

In-Reply-To: <4EBE9A130D4F9644BE6753BD808BC5E7039926BD1C@MAILSERVER.boulder.local> Message-ID: We circulate iPads. They are locked down with a PIN that prevents downloading apps and initiating purchases. We haven't had any breakage that I'm aware of. We're an academic library, so we aren't loaning to kids, but we ARE loaning to undergraduates, which is similar :-) Pros: Frees up computers for more production-oriented work (i.e. MS Office programs, heavy research) Gives our students and faculty the opportunity to test drive a new gadget Ebook apps and be loaded with classics (or purchased items) Good will and good press Cons: iPads are very much consumer-oriented in nature. Locked down via pin means they can't be used in many of the ways people like to use them ie. Facebook apps, etc. The web browser versions work fine, though, but that kind of defeats the seamlessness of a native app. It's more of a philosophical con, though, as borrowers presumably don't have their own, or at least wouldn't expect the exact same experience on a borrowed device. We loan ours out for two hours, with a hefty ($10, I think) per-hour overdue fee. One was "stolen" by a student too stupid to realize that we knew who he was because he checked it out. Campus police found it in his dorm room. We have since installed GPS tracking software just in case. I think the software also allows for remote viewing of the screen and silent activation of the camera.

If you are experimenting with content creation (see below), we need to hear from you. Please review, then respond to dcwg-input at ala.org. *Background* At this moment in our profession, an increasing number of libraries are engaged in the creation, publication, and preservation of digital content. This may represent an opportunity, or shift in our profession, moving us from the end of a publishing and distribution chain to somewhere closer to the source. The issue we're investigating here is not generally library relations with existing publishers, but activities where the library takes a lead or key partnership role in getting the content into digital format and delivering it over the long term. That takes us into archiving and preservation. In addition to the processes of gathering, preparing, and posting such content, we are also grappling with the challenges of copyright, fair use, and licensing in the digital environment. *What we're trying to find out* We're NOT looking for a comprehensive list of every digitization effort in libraries. We ARE looking for experiments that can help ALA recommend policies, address issues, or promote information exchange about this emerging area. *What we want you do do* BY June 1, 2012, SEND TO dcwg-input at ala.org: * A brief description of your institution?s efforts to create digital content. For instance, this might include Open Access scholarship, the co-creation of ePub files featuring local authors, or the unique gathering of local history photographs and/or oral histories. * Some key observations of important issues, roadblocks and discoveries. For instance, what group of authors or publishers have you worked with directly? Which approaches do you believe to be important to your institution or our profession? At what point has your project moved from your own agency to a larger consortial environment, and why? * Where do you think ALA could make a difference? Have your issues been legal (dealing with copyright, for instance), technical (defining file type standards), policy (guiding documents), political within your institution or region, and/or financial (you just need more money)? Or have you found new concerns worth noting? * A contact email and phone if we have questions. Our subgroup will then review the responses, meet to discuss them at the 2012 ALA Annual Conference, then select a few key studies and issues for further examination. It is our plan to share our findings and recommendations broadly, concluding our work by mid-winter, 2013. Thank you for your assistance in this important investigation.

We use a paper checkout form that sits by where the iPads are kept. For tracking, we use find my iPhone which not only plots the location of the iPad on a map with amazing accuracy (we can often tell what office!), but also allows us to lock the machine down, send a message to the iPad's screen or have it make a sound.

Hi Lisa, We have two iPads that we loan out to staff. We use a paper checkout form that sits by where the iPads are kept. For tracking, we use find my iPhone which not only plots the location of the iPad on a map with amazing accuracy (we can often tell what office!), but also allows us to lock the machine down, send a message to the iPad's screen or have it make a sound. Tracking, in fact, has been pretty handy as these things have legs.

I got stuck 2/3rds of the way through the Maven install instructions. I would say the difficulty level for implementation is fairly high, especially for those without a strong working knowledge of java (I have yet to learn Java..). I did report to my higher ups at work that it seemed like an impressive framework that could be extended in many ways. My use case was to use the OpenCalais and AlchemyAPI annotation services to improve the usability of a corpus of online archival materials without metadata or with variable metadata formats and quality...and possibly use the SOLR CAS Consumer to generate output. You probably already know this, but UIMA (along with Hadoop) were the technologies used in the Watson Supercomputer ( https://blogs.apache.org/foundation/entry/apache_innovation_bolsters_ibm_s), so it's definitely a project to keep an eye on in my opinion. They even have an Apache Hadoop framework called Behemoth ( https://github.com/jnioche/behemoth) to enable large scale UIMA deployments. One of the few projects I've seen recently that make use of UIMA is in the field of Biomedical Research...: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22541592 . Sorry I couldn't directly answer your questions, but I hope the information is helpful. I'm also interested in seeing how the library community can make use of the technology.

Please see below for full details. Discovery Tool Implementation and Selection May 15-16, 2012 Hosted by Nara Newcomer and Bill Walsh Please join us for an e-forum discussion. It's free and open to everyone! Registration information is at the end of the message. Each day, sessions begin and end at: Pacific: 7am - 3pm Mountain: 8am - 4pm Central: 9am - 5 pm Eastern: 10am - 6pm Description The discovery interface market is exploding, with current products including EBSCO Discovery Service, Serials Solutions Summon, Ex Libris Primo Central, OCLC WorldCat Local, Blacklight, VuFind, Aquabrowser, and more. These tools (both vendor-supplied and open-source) promise faceted browsing as well as ability to integrate multiple content silos; some come with vendor-provided cloud indexes to articles, e-books, and other electronic content. The newest development is a cloud-based back end designed to replace the ILS, including OCLC's WorldShare, Serials Solutions Intota, and Ex Libris Alma. In today's world, tools differ not just in the quality of features provided, but in overarching functionality provided and in scope of coverage. The e-forum will address factors to consider when selecting a tool, strategies for evaluating tools, and keys to successful implementation. Nara Newcomer is Assistant Music Librarian at East Carolina University, where her duties include cataloging, public services work, and maintaining the music library's web pages. Nara has worked closely with discovery selection and implementation at ECU, including Serials Solutions Summon, WorldCat Local, and SirsiDynix Symphony e-library OPAC. She is leading the creation of the Music Library Association's "Music Discovery Requirements" document, which explores and provides recommendations for meeting the unique demands music materials pose for discovery. Bill Walsh is Head of Technical Services at Georgia State University Library, which implemented EBSCO Discovery Service last summer after evaluating other options. He is co-chair of the library's discover group. *What is an e-forum?* An ALCTS e-forum provides an opportunity for librarians to discuss matters of interest, led by a moderator, through the e-forum discussion list. The e-forum discussion list works like an email listserv: register your email address with the list, and then you will receive messages and communicate with other participants through an email discussion. Most e-forums last two to three days. Registration is necessary to participate, but it's free. See a list of upcoming e-forums at: http://bit.ly/upcomingeforum. *To register:* Instructions for registration are available at: http://bit.ly/eforuminfo. Once you have registered for one e-forum, you do not need to register again, unless you choose to leave the email list. Participation is free and open to anyone. ******************** Nara Newcomer Assistant Music Librarian East Carolina University Greenville, NC newcomern at ecu.edu ============================ To unsubscribe: http://bit.ly/web4lib Web4Lib Web Site: http://web4lib.org/ 2012-05-10 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

How many sources are they using in their papers? When are they citing, and how do they assemble their sources?

The call for proposals here once again: Call for Participation: SWIB12 "Semantic Web in Bibliotheken" (Semantic Web in Libraries) Conference, 26.11. - 28.11.2012, Cologne To an ever increasing extent Linked Open Data (LOD) is developing into a mainstream topic, with more and more organisations announcing LOD projects and services. Furthermore and during the last two years Linked Open Data has received a lot more attention from the library world. Examples ranging from the Library of Congress' initiative "A Bibliographic Framework for the Digital Age", the Conference of European National Librarians and their vote to support the open licensing of their data to groups like LODLAM, IFLA'S Semantic Web Special Interest Group, to library system vendors and providers discussing and experimenting with Linked Data technology clearly reflect that - LOD has gained a lot of momentum in library land. The question is how to ensure that LOD won't be a temporary hype but that it will take hold in future infrastructures. SWIB12 will focus on the adaption of Semantic Web approaches in applications for libraries and science. In the last years lots of effort has been put into generating LOD datasets from legacy systems and into promoting the LOD approach towards a global and open information space. Upcoming challenges will be the strategic and technical alignment of catalogues and legacy systems in libraries, and authoring environments for scholarly communication with a data and service infrastructure based on Semantic Web principles. This year's SWIB conference (Semantic Web in Bibliotheken) will be held in Cologne from 26-28 November 2012. As in the years before, SWIB12 will be organized by the North Rhine-Westphalian Library Service Center (hbz) and the ZBW - German National Library of Economics / Leibniz Information Centre for Economics. The conference language is English. We appreciate proposals (research reports, projects, work in progress, ...) on the following or related topics: * Integration of Linked Data into productive library environments * Technologies for providing, accessing and integrating Linked Data in a non-disruptive and lightweighted way, e.g. by means of APIs or WebServices * Enhancing authoring environments like Content Management Systems, blogs or wikis with Semantic Web facilities, e.g. by accessing Linked Open Datasets or by including semantic markup * Enhancing legacy data through integration of data from the LOD cloud or through FRBRizing, deduplication, crowdsourcing etc. * Applications using authority data maintained by libraries and possibly enriched by the community * Development of commercial or non-commercial library systems aligning their data models and policies with the web of data * Licensing strategies and business models for supporting the reuse of Linked Open Data Do you have an interesting service, research topic or project that you would like to present at the conference? We are looking forward to receiving your suggestions and proposals for contributions (with an abstract of 1000-1500 characters) by May 31, 2012. Please submit your abstract using our website at http://swib.org/swib12/submission. We'll try to give feedback till June 22.

Message-ID: Please excuse the cross-posting - I'm trying to gather some wisdom here and am casting my net wide. We're looking to get started with When2Work for our desk scheduling. There are so many options available - we'd like to know how other libraries are using this product. In particular, if you have multiple desks to schedule, how did you set it up initially. Groups? Types of employee? If anyone has a simple "this is how we set it up" document or tutorial, or a template of how you set your system up, we'd very much appreciate a peek. Best practices, hints and tips, cautionary tales! All are useful. I figure this product has been around a while - I hate to spend a lot of time reinventing the wheel, as most libraries have similar scheduling challenges!

Tabatha Farney (University of Colorado Colorado Springs) and I are putting the finishing touches on our LITA Guide about web analytics, and we'd like to include two appendices: 1. a list of suggested free tools for analytics use in libraries; and 2. a list of commonly used library products (CMSs, catalogs, calendaring tools) to which one can quickly and easily add third-party analytics capabilities. We'd like to get broad feedback on both of these items. Please respond directly to me and Tabatha (who's cc'ed), and if there's interest, I'll share with the list. 1. So, first question: *What products would you include in an appendix that lists free analytics tools for libraries? *These are the products that we are considering, and several of them are mentioned throughout the course of the manuscript: Google Analytics Yahoo! Analytics Piwik Crazy Egg AWStats Percent Mobile ClickTale FaceBook Insights Bango StatCounter Webalizer FireStats FeedBurner What's missing from this list? Are there any other tools out there that you'd recommend for use in library environments? They can be very specific (i.e., FaceBook Insights). 2. Second question: *To what library products have you added third-party (i.e., Google Analytics) analytics capabilities, and how, in a paragraph or less, did you add them?* This is what we have/know how to include: CMSs: Drupal, WordPress, Omeka, LibGuides Catalogs: III Other: Evanced If you've integrated Google Analytics (or another third-party tool) into SirsiDynix products or discovery tools, we'd be very interested in hearing from you. For this second appendix, we are NOT looking for a step-by-step install process (which would be difficult to make accurate for a large audience and also date rapidly), just a high-level description of the best way to integrate tracking code or install the tool. Example for Drupal: "Create a Google Analytics account (if you don't already have one). Then, install the Drupal Google Analytics module (LINK) on your Drupal site(s).

Could you share your > resources with me please ? At the risk of being accused of shameless self promotion, let me reveal that I created a current awareness for the RePEc digital library in 1998. It is still going strong. Volunteer editors filter about 500 documents a week into weekly reports. They are aided by an SVM learning method that predict likely inclusions from past report issues. The system runs at http://nep.repec.org Technical documentation is at http://nep.repec.org/technical.html The software system is called ernad. It is documented at http://openlib.org/home/krichel/work/altai.html This paper is a hard reading and not completely up to date. But it gives you a good idea of how general ernad is. I will be happy to give you access to the computer where NEP runs so you can study how it works. We have report histories, membership data, and data about the editing process. A PhD dissertation has been written about current awareness, with special reference to NEP http://nep.repec.org/research/lfsouto/leo_tese-doutorado-30-06.pdf There is a lot of data for a lot more PhD dissertations!

My advice is for web designers to rethink how they approach this. Browsers are on fast upgrade paths these days, increasingly with auto-updates, and users may not even know what version they're running. Besides, what matters to you is more likely to be the version of Gecko, Webkit, or Trident they're running, and not so much the browser. Even if you could guarantee support for, say, Firefox 12, do you support it with my particular plug-ins, my monitor resolution and screen width, my security and privacy settings, etc? The more universally reliable approach (IMO) has always been to target a sensible set of standards for markup, style, and scripting. That's trickier today than in the past, because the de facto standards today are really "HTML 4 plus parts of HTML5", "CSS 2.1 plus some of 3", and probably "Whatever JQuery supports." But that's the direction you need to go. You might want to check your logs to figure out which tail-end browsers (IE6, Firefox 2) you can give yourself permission to stop worrying about. -- Thomas Dowling Director of Technologies, Z.

The handwritten information has been typed up and converted to HTML, but we are hoping to provide links from this to the originals which will be in PDF format. The originals are on microfilm. Each page is about six times as wide as it is high. We have scanned a sample, but find that when zooming in, it quickly becomes impossible to read the handwriting. Vertical lines which are on the microfilm become more of a problem when enlarging the image. Also, because of the document's dimensions, much of the document disappears off screen when zooming in, and a large scrollbar appears at the bottom of the screen.

This will help legibility. I know that grayscale will make larger files. If that is a problem, then still scan in grayscale, then try to do some image clean up like adjusting levels across all files or all files with a certain set of parameters (maybe like http://journal.code4lib.org/articles/5385 ) , then convert to black and white or otherwise optimize. By the way, as I'm sure you already know, digitizing microfilm results in much poorer image quality than does digitizing paper. If you start with a bad image, you can only do so much. If you start with a good image, and then decide to loose quality by optimizing, then you have a full range of choices in that tradeoff. If you have the option to digitize paper, you are probably better off putting labor or outsourcing costs into handling paper for a clean initial scan, rather than putting labor costs into handling and processing digital files to compensate for a poor initial scan. Experiment and maybe you will find you get more bang for your buck digitizing paper. -Wilhelmina Randtke On Mon, May 21, 2012 at 8:52 AM, John Fitzgibbon < jfitzgibbon at galwaylibrary.ie> wrote: > Hi Bob, > > Thanks for your reply.

You have received some good suggestions for the latter, let me dwell on the former. I would concur that you should start by scanning in grayscale. You will get a much more "zoomability". You might even increase your scanning density. Then see if you can remove the speckles. Are they on the original? If you use a different scanner, or reposition the microfilm, do the speckles stay consistent? If not, then it's a scanning problem. If they ARE on the original, most image-processing software will have a filter for removing speckles. The filter should be adjustable for sensitivity, so you can avoid removing too much of the original document. The lines probably ARE on the original, a result of running the film through the reader many times. You might find a filter to remove those, but that would be harder to find than one for speckles. Then apply a threshold filter. Adjust it so the background goes to pure white. This will improve compressibility. These are just some ideas. If you will post a higher-res grayscale image of one page, I'll play around with it. Finally, I note that a Google search for "best practices scanning microfilm" produces a number of promising links.

The concept is to copy the wiki contents annually to a format that can be used on any standard computer in case of an emergency (i.e. saved as an HTML web-style archive, saved as PDF files, saved as Word files). Another way to put it is that we are looking for a way to export the contents of the wiki into a printer-friendly format - to a document that maintains some organization and formatting and can be used on any standard computer. Is anybody aware of a tool out there that would allow for this sort of automated, multi-page export? Our wiki is large and we would prefer not to do this type of backup one page at a time. We are using JSPwiki, but I'm open to any option you think might work. Could any of the web harvesting products be adapted to do the job? Has anyone else backed up a wiki to an alternate format?

Brandon Butler, ARL Director of Public Policy Initiatives, and Jonathan Band (policybandwidth) will recap the basic facts of the case and the key holdings in the decision, discuss the possible next steps in the litigation, and suggest some of the possible consequences for libraries making their own decisions about how best to implement a fair use policy in the context of course reserves.

Webinar #3 - Tues. 6/12 2pm-3pm (EST) [USA] In this third webinar, we will discuss and share opportunities for engagement in professional library organizations and other groups which might provide a forum for sustainability issues such as discussion groups, task forces, committees and social activities. Share your experiences with tools such as LinkedIn and listservs, organizations such as AASHE, ARL, ACRL, as well as state and regional associations. How can we initiate contact with such groups? Where shall we focus? How do we address the diverse needs of libraries in all sectors: public, academic, school, special and other? Come prepared to discuss and offer ideas for specific recommendations for successful sustainability activities within professional library organizations. There will be the option for a group to convene in another virtual room for an ALA-focused discussion -- in particular, the future of Task Force on the Environment (TFOE). Plans are already underway for a face-to-face social gathering at the upcoming ALA Annual conference to consider how to best advance the sustainability message within our libraries and associations.

But the term embedded librarian does not mean just one thing: it is an umbrella term that includes a number of service models and levels of activity. What, exactly, are the service models, and how can a library choose and implement the best model to fit their needs? This session will examine best practices for embedded librarianship by looking at several successful models and considering goals, design, and assessment of an embedded librarian program.

Langan, Humanities Librarian, Western Michigan University * Speaker: Kathleen Pickens-French, Public Services Librarian, Miami University Hamilton * Speaker: Krista McDonald, Director, Rentschler Library, Miami University Hamilton * Speaker: Paul Betty, Distance Learning Librarian, Regis University DESCRIPTION: Embedded librarianship is not a new term, however, for librarians being partnered with faculty in online classrooms it is becoming a critical job component. As attendees arrive to the session, they will be asked to contribute a tip or frustration of embedding which will be integrated into the program. Following a brief history on embedding, a panel will discuss different types of embedding models as they involve the audience with interactive audience polling.

Nominate yourself by sending a short (50-100) personal statement and your current vita to mkim at library.ucsb.edu and richr at nsu.law.nova.edu by June 13 (Wed.) The group will have a business meeting following our ALA program "Linked Data & Next Generation Catalog" featuring: Cory Harper (NYU); Phil Schreur (Stanford); Theodore Fons (OCLC); Yvette Diven (Serials Solutions); Jennifer Bowen (eXtensible Catalog) LITA NCGIG, ALA 2012 program "Linked Data & Next Generation Catalogs" June 23rd (Sat) 8-12:00pm Room: 207D *Linked Data & Next Generation Catalogs Discussions on the concepts of linked data have been everywhere, but practical strategies for its implementation are hard to find. ?Linked data,? a recommended best practice for exposing, sharing and connecting pieces of data information and knowledge on the Semantic Web, is expected to be fully embraced by the next generation catalogs already in the later stages of development. During this session, attendees will learn about the basic concepts of linked data and the impacts and benefits of adapting linked data in the area of future bibliographical control. To supplement our discussion, developers from a few next generation catalog systems will demonstrate their implementations of linked data. Best, Michael -- S.

Once a year, we bring together these researchers here at our office for a few days so that they can communicate and collaborate face-to-face. The rest of the year, their communication is largely virtual. This network is always growing and changing shape ---new researchers join, many change positions and jobs, and we lose a few now and then. What I'd like to do is use an interactive visualization on our web site that will allow researchers to find each other. I want to "tag" the researchers according to their areas of study (I can develop a taxonomy here), affiliated institution, what years they attended our annual conference, etc. I am looking at TheBrain, which is neat, but I want to embed it in our web site (wordpress). Any other ideas?
