Microsoft is pushing Forefront, of course, and the product line is a bit confusing. You could also move to a Juniper product ? specifics depend on what you need to do ? or Cisco ASA, or ???, but this might be a bit of sea change/culture shock.

These records are free. Every so often, we come across a new source, and quite often, we have to contact our IT department to open a new port on our firewall, in order for us to connect to this source. We are notified when the rule is applied on the firewall and we then test the connection. This seems a little cumbersome. If there was a way for us to retrieve the MARC records via HTTP this would be ideal. A proxy Web server on the Internet would accept a request from us, retrieve the MARC record on our behalf, and somehow return it to us via HTTP. I don't know if this would require the use of MARCXML. Does such a gateway exist? Any help would be much appreciated.

We have several small libraries which are a long distance from our headquarters. When a PC stops working someone must visit the library; bring the PC back to headquarters, repair it, and return it to the library. Frequently, the PC can't boot up because of damage to the boot sector or to the hard disk. A great many of our problems are solved by reinstalling the Windows operating system. These difficulties could be avoided if we posted a Linux boot USB pen to the library. The pen would be write protected. This would seem to be a huge improvement on our current practice. I know getting this solution to work with a printer would be a challenge.

Its also nothing new in the sense of indicating that Facebook and its key techie is intent on invading the privacy of its users to the maximum extent it can and has been doing it with only minimal detection for so long that it has never developed protocols to even test whether it has consequences to others. They (he) only cares if you find out -- and then defends by minimizing -- or trying to. Facebook has on the order of trillion users partly because it offers a lot of them a service which includes things they really like having, but also because from its inception it has used seduction and subtle deception as its business plan for growing the user base. How many people "joined" Facebook because it was what was necessary to be able look at those cute pictures one of their friends or associates sent them a message to entice them to look at them? In the early years, how many of those Facebook users who just posted adorable pictures of their kids to their FB page and sent a messages to friends genuinely understood that they were being exploited to boost the user base. It all seemed so innocent! I know people who really like using Facebook. Some of them liked it right up until something bad happened. I don't know how this story will end. I do know that I am glad I never did create a Facebook account and I am sure I never will. Lie down with dogs and get fleas.... or do business with a sociopathic/psychopathic enterprise and get screwed. And now -- maybe the corrupted adage should be something like -- the infection of exploitation can be transmitted to others with no connection to the original exploiter.... or something like that.

The trick is to use a distro that works all in memory as possible Puppy Linux and others do that job.

The trick is to use a distro that works all in memory as possible Puppy Linux and others do that job.

Feedback to this version of the specification is solicited and can be shared by March 15, 2013 on the ResourceSync Google Group. The ResourceSync joint project, funded with support from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and JISC, was initiated to develop a new open standard on the real-time synchronization of Web resources. "Increasingly, large-scale digital collections are available from multiple hosting locations, are cached at multiple servers, and leveraged by several services," explains Herbert Van de Sompel, Scientist, Los Alamos National Laboratory, OAI Executive, and Co-chair of the ResourceSync Working Group. "Since Web resources are continually changing, this proliferation of content yields the challenging problem of keeping services that leverage a server's evolving content synchronized in a timely and accurate manner. As we move from a Web of documents to a Web of data, synchronization becomes even more important: decisions made based on unsynchronized or incoherent scientific or economic data can have serious deleterious impact." "The OAI Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (PMH) 2.0 specification can be used to effectively synchronize the metadata about the resources," states Simeon Warner, Director, IT Application Development, Cornell University, "but synchronizing the resources themselves was never specified. Although some resource synchronization methods exist, they are generally ad hoc, arranged by the individuals involved, and cannot be universally deployed." "This ResourceSync draft specification introduces a range of easy to implement capabilities that a server may support in order to enable remote systems to remain more tightly in step with its evolving resources," describes Michael L. Nelson, Associate Professor, Old Dominion University Computer. "It also describes how a server can advertise the capabilities it supports. Remote systems can inspect this information to determine how best to remain aligned with the evolving data. All capabilities are implemented on the basis of the document formats introduced by the Sitemap protocol. Capabilities can be combined to achieve varying levels of functionality and hence meet different local or community requirements." "We expect this new standard will save a tremendous amount of time, effort, and resources by repository managers through the automation of the replication and updating process," states Todd Carpenter, NISO Executive Director. "The end result will be to increase the general availability of content in Web repositories and alleviate the variety of problems created by out-dated, inaccurate, superseded content that exists on the Internet today." The draft specification is available on the OAI website at: www.openarchives.org/rs/. Comments on the draft can be posted on the public discussion forum at: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/resourcesync. Group discussions are openly accessible; posting requires group membership.

The issue is 32 pages long. For those reading online or on a tablet or ebook reader, the single-column ?online edition? is available at http://citesandinsights.info/civ13i3on.pdf. The single-column (6?9) version is 67 pages long.

This issue includes the following: The Front (pp. 1-3) On the Contrary: Notes on being a contrarian (or a skeptic) Libraries: Academic Library Circulation: Surprise! (pp. 3-17) We all know that circulation in (nearly all) academic libraries has been dropping for years, right? What does (nearly all) mean? Would you believe that a majority of U.S. academic libraries reporting circulation in both 2008 and 2010 (excluding clearly anomalous cases) actually had more circulation in 2010 than in 2008? This article looks at changes in circulation (overall and per capita) by type of library (as broken down in NCES reports?by region, sector, and Carnegie classifications), and also shows the difference between overall average, average of institutional averages, and median figures?frequently surprising differences. Media: 50 Movie Box Office Gold, Part 2 (pp. 17-26) Seven discs, 28 movies, all color, some I refused to finish watching. Libraries: Academic Library Circulation, Part 2: 2006-2010 (pp. 26-32) Was the period from 2008 to 2010 (2010?s the most recent NCES report) anomalous? This study compares circulation (overall and per capita) between FY2006 and FY2008, FY2006 and FY2010 and FY2008 and FY2010, breaking things down in the same categories as part 1, but this time showing the percentage of libraries with significantly growing circulation, significantly shrinking circulation, and circulation staying about the same. (Overall, 40% grew significantly from 2006 to 2010 and 50.6% shrank significantly; 37.9% grew in per capita circulation and 54.6% shrank significantly?where I defined ?significant? as 2.5% over two years or 5% over four years.) The April issue will not be heavy on original research and statistics. Come May, we?re probably back to public libraries?but that?s a long way away! ============================ To unsubscribe: http://bit.ly/web4lib Web4Lib Web Site: http://web4lib.org/ 2013-02-11 From TEdelblute at ANAHEIM.NET Mon Feb 11 12:03:06 2013 From: TEdelblute at ANAHEIM.NET (Thomas Edelblute) Date: Mon, 11 Feb 2013 17:03:06 +0000 Subject: Problems with Flash in Windows 7 lab Message-ID: We recently deployed a computer lab running Windows 7-64 bit.

Drupal lags behind WordPress on the look-and-feel layer, even with paid themes (even though Drupal is improving on this).? With a paid Drupal theme you would need to put in more time than it sounds like you have, or have someone tweak it for you which costs more money than it sounds like you have. I second the WooThemes recommendation but there are tons of options out there. For what it's worth!

I have not used them as I work mostly with the Omega starter, but they probably offer quite a bit of flexibility as their Joomla counterparts did which I did use on some Joomla projects. Scroll down and you will see about 10 themes that are free, but they are not responsive themes. The more recent ones are responsive, if that's something you are looking for as well.

At the simplest level, when you are in a website, use ctrl+P to print that website to a PDF. I have seen blogs put into institutional repositories like this - one long PDF of all posts. The most significant collection development aspect of this is that it is easy to explain to a potential donor, or to employees or subject librarians who have a casual relationship with web archiving, and can't be expected to learn and follow detailed policies. They can make a PDF that they feel is representative of the digital object they will have archived. 2) Firefox extension DownLoadThemAll. You install this extension, then you can right click on a page and download all linked files from that page at once. This is good for places where you have a big dump of PDFs, and a single splash page with links to those PDFs. For example, where the university has posted many old student newspapers, but these are not in a CMS that can share Dublin Core records, you can take all the PDFs at once, and process the incoming links to get metadata connected with the files. 3) WinHTTrack. This is a program that spiders in a website. So, it will start at the first page, then go through all the linked pages, and pages each of those links to, and so on, and save those to disk. You can also set it to save the first page only that it hits when it leaves the website you gave it to go to another domain. (That's important for microblogs, where the content the link points to is a central part of the message.) When you pick a technology to use, the most important thing is to understand the general architecture of the website you will scrape and then to understand what you will and won't be able to capture. 15 years ago, most websites were static HTML, and a simple spider could make an exact copy of the website. Now, most websites are database driven. The text that you see in a Wordpress, Drupal, Facebook page is all stored in a database. There is no HTML page. There is just a program that detects the URL you want, processes it, then connects to the database to write some HTML on the fly. Without being able to talk with the webmaster/developer, you will never actually get an exact copy. (Usually files live where you find them, so a URL pointing to a PDF/JPG/etc means the PDF/JPG/etc really is there, instead of a set of rules that retrieves the correct PDF/JPG/etc when the URL is entered.) Talking to them and coordinating a copy is technologically more difficult because you need a deeper understanding of the architecture of that website, takes time, and may not be feasible. For most projects you will have to use a technology that makes an imperfect copy. You need to quality control to make sure that the copy you are making is good enough. -Wilhelmina Randtke On Mon, Feb 11, 2013 at 9:23 AM, wrote: > I received a question from the person in charge of University Relations > and I'm unsure how to answer. > > "Is there a library technique to preserve FHSU's history on the web or > through social media?

For example, I use Backupify, which will create copies of your Facebook & Twitter accounts ( https://www.backupify.com/products/personal-apps-backup). What I don't know is how much it grabs for Facebook (just your stuff, other posts on your Wall, etc.). I am not a Facebook user but I know it's got an export tool; I don't know how you use what you export though. If they are willing to set up a regular process to go and proactively grab content (backups would be scheduled), there are some easy to use tools. Twitter seems to have generated more tools than other sites. I use AllMyTweets (http://www.allmytweets.net/ ) but it has a limitation (3200) so you need to grab the content every so often. Visitmix's Archivist is a downloadable tool ( http://visitmix.com/work/archivist-desktop/ ) that can grab an archive as a downloadable spreadsheet. The paid version is necessary to grab everything (also a Web version: http://www.tweetarchivist.com/ ) This site has some interesting links that would apply to specific social media ( http://socialwebnerd.com/blog/20-tools-to-backup-your-social-media-content/). I like Wilhelmina's suggestion of WinHTTrack. If it's a Web site and you don't have access to an export function (like in Wordpress sites), it can be a great way to grab everything. I've also used Blue Squirrel's products (WebWhacker and Grab-a-Site: http://www.bluesquirrel.com). I guess it would be "library-ish" to create incremental backups or to organize it for quick recovery; you'd also have issues about formats (and whether images or style sheets or other elements would be usable after archiving/downloading). It may depend up on how long they want to keep the information. Good luck! David.

You need to work out a "data liberation" policy for each social network you use. There is no consistent way to do it. I don't suggest you try "spider" a Website, since that sounds very inefficient. You are going to be grabbing data that's not related to your content. There are several online tools to backup social media. https://www.archify.com/ is one. http://greptweet.com/ is one I wrote for backing up a CSV of one's twitter timeline. Storing backups as simple CSV files makes most sense to be. I don't think it makes any sense to archive data in PDF. http://dabase.com/blog/PDF-A_versus_HTML/ Kind regards, ============================ To unsubscribe: http://bit.ly/web4lib Web4Lib Web Site: http://web4lib.org/ 2013-02-11 From pfa at UMICH.EDU Mon Feb 11 23:19:21 2013 From: pfa at UMICH.EDU (Patricia Anderson) Date: Mon, 11 Feb 2013 23:19:21 -0500 Subject: social media question In-Reply-To: Message-ID: The University of Michigan Bentley Library has a process in place for archiving the University's digital presence, including some selected social media spaces.

That is to say, the public computers will run on Linux, and the staff PC used to manage the public PCs can run on either Linux or Windows. Ideally, the managing PC will only accept bookings from library members; it will communicate with our LMS (which is Horizon) presumably via SIP. There are a number of such products for Windows, but I don't know if there is any such solution for Linux. Any help would be much appreciated.

But our university IT (Emory) has had a pretty aggressive anti-phishing educational campaign going on for over a year. They send out groups of simulated phishing emails to different university divisions. If you fall for the phish, you are redirected to a university IT hosted phishing education page and quiz. And stats are kept on a unit by unit basis, with monthly/quarterly reporting. Rumor has it that if someone falls for the phishing sim more than a few times that some sort of further action is taken, but this is only rumor at this point. -Matthew ------------------------------ Matthew Collins, PhD, MLIS mscolli at emory.edu ----------------------------- From: Web technologies in libraries [mailto:WEB4LIB at LISTSERV.ND.EDU] On Behalf Of Cindy Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2013 10:17 AM To: WEB4LIB at LISTSERV.ND.EDU Subject: [WEB4LIB] I often send links to close friends when they seem appropriate.

Proposals should relate to the themes of creation, empowering library users, collaboration, cooperation, and building or engaging communities. Proposals may cover projects, plans, ideas, or recent discoveries. We accept proposals on any aspect of library and information technology. The committee particularly invites submissions from first time presenters, library school students, and individuals from diverse backgrounds. The Forum Committee is especially interested in presentations highlighting projects that involve the creation of library spaces, the maker movement, and innovative solutions to pragmatic problems. It also encourages sessions that are hands-on. Possible ideas for topics might include: * Maker spaces/Maker Movement * Creation of New Library Spaces * Data Curation * Discovery * User Experience * Web Services * Coding * Digital Libraries * Institutional Repositories Presentations must have a technological focus and pertain to libraries. Presentations that incorporate audience participation are encouraged. Sessions can be full-day pre-conferences, concurrent sessions (50 minutes), or poster sessions. The format of the presentations may include single- or multi-speaker formats, panel discussions, moderated discussions, case studies and/or demonstrations of projects. Vendors wishing to submit a proposal should partner with a library representative who is testing/using the product. Presenters will submit draft presentation slides and/or handouts on ALA Connect in advance of the Forum and will submit final presentation slides or electronic content (video, audio, etc.) to be made available on the web site following the event. Presenters are expected to register and participate in the Forum as attendees; discounted registration will be offered.

Despite exhortations for libraries to become the "George Takei of our communities" ( http://americanlibrariesmagazine.org/inside-scoop/digital-revolution-pr), I am aware that reposting images on social media usually violates copyright. However, I haven't been able to track down any professional discussions in libraryland about copyright and social media except in relation to Pinterest. Indeed, cute viral book memes abound on many library Facebook pages. Does your library have a policy, formal or informal, about copyrighted content on social media or has anyone otherwise dealt with this issue in libraries? -- Becky Schneider Reference Librarian/Webmaster Morse Institute Library, Natick, MA bschneider at minlib.net Views expressed are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views or policies of the Morse Institute Library. ============================ To unsubscribe: http://bit.ly/web4lib Web4Lib Web Site: http://web4lib.org/ 2013-02-13 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

MOOCs, or Massive Open Online Courses, have become all the rage, with numerous institutions joining forces with Coursera, edX, FutureLearn, and other providers. The Babson Survey Research Group recently found that although 55 percent of institutions said they were undecided about their plans for offering MOOCs, 9.4 percent said they were in the planning stages of offering one, and 2.6 percent have already taken the plunge; the same survey showed the number of students taking at least one course online has reached an all-time high of 32 percent. Please join OCLC Research and the University of Pennsylvania Libraries for thoughtful and provocative presentations about how libraries are already getting involved with MOOCs. Whether your institution is already on board or on the fence, you?ll learn from the pioneers how library content and services can be represented in these new learning environments, and about opportunities for new discussions with partners in supporting learning on campus. Potential themes include: Copyright, licensing, open access As courses are being offered online to a diverse and geographically distributed audience, what are the challenges for licensing and clearing copyright for materials used in courses? Are there opportunities for advancing the conversation on open access with faculty? Production & pedagogy How libraries and academic support offices contribute to MOOC-related course production options?a view on how technology helps and hinders, and how pedagogy may need to shift in a new environment. What are we learning about teaching, what works, and what doesn't? Embedded librarians: what can happen when librarians go behind the lines in a MOOC? As we learn about new platforms and new modes of working, librarians are going into the trenches to see for themselves how MOOCs work. How do library resources and research skills fit into this new and evolving picture? What can we learn from the data we can mine from these platforms? Who are the masses? A view of the audience MOOCs are drawing thousands and even hundreds of thousands of attendees. What do we know about these learners? What might we discover? How might we change as a result?

Social media, other than Diaspora, is hosted and takes place in the corporation's environment, so in the US you are under DMCA notice and take down. You are less exposed than when running your own server. Here is an overview of the process http://www.chillingeffects.org/dmca512/faq.cgi . For YouTube view policies at http://www.youtube.com/yt/copyright/ then read the sections on "Submit a copyright infringement notification" and "Submit a counter notification". For Facebook's policy look at http://www.facebook.com/legal/copyright.php. And here is how you appeal the take down http://www.facebook.com/legal/copyright.php?howto_appeal . For Pinterest, policies are here http://about.pinterest.com/copyright/ . You do not encounter copyright law in this environment. Instead, you stay in a private system administered by the social network, according to structure spelled out in the DMCA. You face liability after you go through the appeal with the social network and have your content reposted after a take down. The copyright holder will do the notice and take down before suing. If you violate terms of the social network too much they will delete your account (this is the more likely consequence of infringement). The bigger issue is that terms of service for social networks will tend to say "hold harmless..." and make the account holder liable for everything. Enforceable or not, if you have government funding, then it's a safe bet that that conflicts with mandatory contract terms you must use. It's a contract term that you usually cannot accept due to funding requirements and internal policies. -Wilhelmina Randtke On Wed, Feb 13, 2013 at 3:17 PM, Becky Schneider wrote: > I am working on a social media policy for our library and am hoping to > learn how other libraries are dealing with the effect of copyright law on > social media. > > Despite exhortations for libraries to become the "George Takei of our > communities" ( > http://americanlibrariesmagazine.org/inside-scoop/digital-revolution-pr), > I am aware that reposting images on social media usually violates > copyright.

The institution's decision makes no sense at all to me. The whole purpose of a library is to make information public. Information about the library itself therefore should be public. I would not include the location of the phone closet or the server room in the public floor plans, but any information normally accessible to the public ought to be public. If your library is open to the public, then the location of collections and public computers will be open to the public simply by walking in. Whoever made this decision apparently believes in security through obscurity, which any competent IT person realizes is not security at all. I do not understand how your security people consider such information to be a high-value target for terrorists. Instead, how to physically navigate the library should be a high-value target for users of the library. I wonder how the security people would react if - and when - a patron simply publishes a floor plan of the place on their own. /rich On Fri, Feb 15, 2013 at 12:08 PM, Amanda Izenstark wrote: > We wanted to do this, but being a state institution, we were advised by > the state's department of administration that this would pose a security > risk, as it would make obvious the locations of public computers, > collections, etc. > > Certainly any member of the public could come in and determine these same > things in a matter of moments, but our request to do this was denied. > > I hope you have better luck than we did! > > Amanda Izenstark > Reference & Instructional Design Librarian > University of Rhode Island > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Jason Michel" > To: WEB4LIB at LISTSERV.ND.EDU > Sent: Thursday, February 14, 2013 4:04:18 PM > Subject: [WEB4LIB] Google Floor Plans > > Has anyone implemented Google Floor Plans?

This year?s Open Repositories conference takes place in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada between Monday, July 8 and Friday, July 12. Registration is now open at http://or2013.net - register early and reserve your accommodationas soon as you can! We invite you to contribute to the conference program. The deadline has been extended until Monday, March 4th!* * This year?s conference theme is Use, Reuse, Reproduce. One of the most important roles of repositories is to enable greater use and reuse of their contents? whether those contents are library collections, scholarly articles, research data, or software?and metadata. The notion of use and reuse can be extended to repository infrastructure as well. Many repositories are based on open source software that can be freely reused and adapted to serve local needs; other efforts are also emerging both in conjunction with and outside traditional repository platforms to encourage discipline or community specific reuse and sharing of software, services, and infrastructure. In addition there is a growing interest and need to document and share the code and workflows used to produce research results - particularly in computationally intensive fields - in order to promote reproducible research. We are very pleased to announce that the opening keynote this year will be Victoria Stodden of Columbia University and co-founder of http://www.runmycode.org/. See more about Dr. Stodden here: http://www.stodden.net/ Some specific areas of interest for OR2013 are: - Effective re-use of content--particularly research data--enabled by embedded repository tools and services - Effective re-use of software, services, and infrastructure to support repository development - Facilitation of reproducible research through access to data, workflows, and code - Services making use of repository metadata - Focused, disciplinary or community-based software, services, and infrastructure for use and reuse of content - Integration of data, including linked data, and external services with repositories to provide solutions to specific domains - Added-value services for repositories - Long-term preservation of repositories and their contents - Role and impact of repositories in the research ecosystem The aim of the Open Repositories Conference is to bring those responsible for the development, implementation and management of digital repositories together with stakeholders, such as researchers, librarians, publishers and others, to address theoretical, practical, and strategic issues across the entire lifecycle of information, from the creation and management of digital content, to enabling use, re-use, and interconnection of information, and ensuring long-term preservation and archiving. The current economic climate dictates that repositories operate across administrative and disciplinary boundaries and to interact with distributed computational services and social communities. Submissions can take the form of proposals for presentations, panels, posters, demonstrations, and workshops. We will consider any submission that seems to us sufficiently original and repository-related to merit attention at this event, but we?ll give preference to submissions that address our primary theme. In some cases, papers submitted to the general conference may be referred to user groups if appropriate. Key dates and contacts - EXTENDED to 4 March 2013: Deadline for submissions - 12 April 2013: Submitters notified of acceptance to general conference - 19 April 2013: Submitters notified of acceptance to user groups - 8-12 July 2013: OR2013 conference: - 8 July 2013: Pre-conference workshops - 9-11 July 2013: General Conference - 11-12 July 2013: DSpace, EPrints, and Fedora user group meetings Submission process Conference Papers and Panels We welcome two- to four-page proposals for presentations or panels that deal with organizational, theoretical, practical, or administrative issues of digital repositories and repository services that are not specific to a particular technical platform. Abstracts of accepted papers will be made available through the conference?s web site, and later they and associated materials will be made available in a repository intended for current and future OR content. In general, sessions are an hour and a half long with three papers per session; panels may take an entire session. Relevant papers unsuccessful in the main track will automatically be considered for inclusion, as appropriate, as a User Group presentation. User Group Presentations One to two-page proposals for presentations or panels that focus on use of one of the major repository platforms (EPrints, DSpace and Fedora) are invited from developers, researchers, repository managers, administrators and practitioners describing novel experiences or developments in the construction and use of repositories involving issues specific to these technical platforms. 24x7 Presentation Proposals We welcome one- to two-page proposals for 7 minute presentations comprising no more than 24 slides. Similar to Pecha Kuchas or Lightning Talks, these 24x7 presentations will be grouped into blocks based on conference themes, with each block followed by a moderated discussion / question and answer session involving the audience and whole block of presenters. This forum will provide conference goers with a fast-paced survey of like work across many institutions, and presenters the chance to disseminate their work in more depth and context than a traditional poster. Posters and Demos We invite developers, researchers, repository managers, administrators and practitioners to submit one-page proposals for posters and demonstrations. Posters provide an opportunity to present work that isn?t appropriate for a paper; you?ll have the chance to do a 60-second pitch for your poster or demo during a plenary session at the conference. Workshops and Tutorials- to two-page proposals for Workshops and Tutorials addressing theoretical or practical issues around digital repositories are welcomed. Workshops and tutorials will take place on the Monday before the conference. Please address the following in your proposal: - The subject of the event and what knowledge you intend to convey - Length of session (e.g., 1-hour, 2-hour? half a day? whole day?) - How many attendees you plan to accommodate - Technology and facility requirements - Any other supplies or support required - A brief statement on the learning outcomes from the session - Anything else you believe is pertinent to carrying out the session Developer Challenge * *Each year a significant proportion of the delegates at Open Repositories are software developers who work on repository software or related services, and once again OR2013 will feature a Developer Challenge.

Please register by March 12, 2013 at http://www.ipsr.ku.edu/naddi/registration.shtml. A reduced registration rate is available for a limited number of graduate students. DDI is an international data standard for the observation and measurement of human activity. Although primarily used by quantitative social scientists, an increasing number of scientists in other disciplines are embracing DDI to document and manage their data and metadata. More information about DDI is available at: http://www.ddialliance.org/. This conference promises to be of interest to researchers, librarians, archivists, repository managers, metadata specialists, and data professionals in the social sciences and other disciplines. The agenda is available at: http://www.ipsr.ku.edu/naddi/program.shtml. Our keynote speaker will be Dr. Jay Greenfield (http://www.ipsr.ku.edu/naddi/JayGreenfield.shtml) of Booz Allen Hamilton where he is the semantic architect for a DDI Lifecycle based metadata system that supports the National Children's Study (NCS). Patterned after the successful European DDI conference (EDDI), the conference will be informative, interesting, and educational. There will be presentations on the use of DDI in research programs and data repositories, developments with DDI and demonstrations of new DDI tools. The NADDI Conference is an opportunity for those using DDI and those interested in learning more about it to come together and learn from each other. The Oread Hotel is the conference hotel and is located one block from the Kansas Union. To reserve a room with the conference rate, please call 785.843.1200 or 877.263.6347.

The client runs on Linux or Windows, and the Libki server runs on Linux. I just posted fresh instructions for installing on Debian Squeeze on the wiki, although I do have to update it to add instructions for creating the reservations table. It also supports SIP2; we use it with Koha, I'm not sure if anyone has tried it with Horizon, but I imagine it should work. ----------------------------------------------------------- Cindy Murdock Ames IT Services Director Meadville Public Library | CCFLS http://meadvillelibrary.org | http://ccfls.org On Tue, Feb 12, 2013 at 4:59 AM, John Fitzgibbon < jfitzgibbon at galwaylibrary.ie> wrote: > Hi,**** > > ** ** > > I am seeking self-reservation software and print management software that > will run on Linux clients.
