This standard will require a Registration Authority for its implementation and ongoing operation. A Call for Candidates inviting proposals from qualified organizations interested in serving as the Registration Authority for ISO 17316 has been issued. Deadline for proposals is September 1, 2014. The ISLI standard specifies a new identifier of links between entities (or their names) in the field of information and documentation. These entities may be documents, media resources, people or more abstract items such as times or places. By identifying links between entities that are related to each other they can, for example, be rendered jointly. As more linked data applications are implemented, it is anticipated that many more uses for the ISLI will be found. The detailed Call for Candidates is available here: http://www.niso.org/apps/group_public/download.php/13403/sc9n780_Call_for_ca ndidates_ISLI_RA.pdf All qualified and interested candidates are encouraged to respond.

Libraries have long had beneficial and constructive relationships with both authors and publishers. In the past few years, however, libraries have become even more involved. Public and academic libraries support local authors by hosting writing groups, providing writing support, enabling print-on-demand, helping authors with metadata and with ebook conversion, and becoming publishers themselves. This conference will take a look at all of these options and how they have affected specific libraries. Is your library supporting local authors in some way? Are you reaching out to your community to help writers? Are you publishing or hosting ebooks or ejournals for your community? Have you worked through any legal issues that would be helpful to others? If you can speak on one of these topics or have another idea in mind, please submit your proposal by July 18th. Online events eliminate your travel time by allowing you to present from the comfort of your office. Don't worry if you've never presented online; it's easy and we are happy to help you.

We?re trying to get Blackboard to load a page in the libraries tab, but the page redirects to our actual page, in a new window. To add to the problem, not all the resources we feature on our home page support https, so setting everything to that was not an option. We were told that a Blackboard update released in April solved this issue. I believe they said that it changes how Blackboard loads the items (they load in an iframe instead of a frame), but don?t quote me on that. The problem we are facing now is the blackboard folks don?t want to apply the update. They?d rather have the bugs you know, then create new ones.

It's never the users' responsibility to make our tools work properly. (Also, we're struggling with the same problem right now.

Sent by: Web technologies in libraries > ________________________________ Hi- Following an update to Blackboard last fall, we began having a problem with the Library tab on our Blackboard site (I administer the library site but not Blackboard). The problem occurs when you open the library website from within the Blackboard frame; although the exact symptoms vary by browser, generally the main issues are 1) the library page doesn?t load and/or 2) links which are not https won?t open. This occurs because Blackboard is now a secure environment and doesn?t tolerate links within it that are not https. It?s also caused by safety features in browsers which will not load pages of mixed content. There are ways around this issue, but they require the user to configure their browsers ?so we?ve been treating this as ?educational issue? rather than a technical one, since the solution seems to be out of our hands. That said, one easy way it could be fixed is to configure the link within Blackboard so the Library site opens in a new window/tab ?however this can?t be done because the links that appear in the Blackboard tabs can?t be set to do this. I suspect we are not the only ones who have run into this problem. Has it affected your institution? If so, did you find a workaround? Thanks for your reads and replies.

Two hours is about the same amount of time and effort that it took me, I think. Thanks for the slide about editing functions. I'm not archiving any tweet conversations at present, but if I need to again I will take you up on your offer of help. So far as I can determine, Storify won't allow me to search for conversations, so I can't show you any of the ones I curated. I used their search engine to search for #gamemooc and found quite a few individual tweets, so it appears that somebody is still archiving their weekly tweetchats. These were part of Gamesmooc, an ongoing constructivist mooc about using games in education. I believe 2013-2014 was its third year. It was founded by several people who are members of a World of Warcraft guild that's limited to educators. The tweetchats take place on Wednesday nights during the school year and are are usually very active. To avoid confusion with another twitter account, they use the hashtag #gamemooc. I was a member for the first two years, but I only storified a couple of the chats because I wanted to organize them by conversation topic and that took so much time. Most of the people who've done it just archive a linear transcript of the tweets, in the order they were received. Have a great day!

URL: From emhanso2 at NCSU.EDU Wed Jul 9 11:49:01 2014 From: emhanso2 at NCSU.EDU (Eric Hanson) Date: Wed, 9 Jul 2014 11:49:01 -0400 Subject: New linked data set from North Carolina State University Libraries Message-ID: NCSU Libraries has published its first linked data set, NCSU Organization Name Linked Data, at http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/ld/onld/. This data set is based on the NCSU Organization Name Authority, a tool maintained by the Acquisitions and Discovery department since 2009 to manage the variant forms of name for serial and e-resource publishers, providers, and vendors in E-Matrix, our locally-developed electronic resource management system. The names chosen as the authorized form reflect an acquisitions, rather than bibliographic, orientation. For example, in the Library of Congress Name Authority File, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers is represented by its full name, whereas in the NCSU Organization Name Linked Data, it appears as "IEEE, " which is how it is generally known among acquisitions staff. Also, there many subsidiary units with valid headings in the LC Name Authority File but for the purpose of managing journals and electronic resources they are simply considered to be variant forms of name for the parent organization that manages acquisitions and licensing-related functions for the subsidiaries. The data in the NCSU Organization Name Linked Data is represented as RDF triples using properties from the SKOS, RDF Schema, FOAF and OWL vocabularies. Where possible, we included links to descriptions of the organizations in other linked data sources, including the Virtual International Authority File, the Library of Congress Name Authority File, Dbpedia, Freebase, and International Standard Name Identifier (ISNI). These types of links are encouraged in Tim Berners-Lee's description of 5 Star Open Data and will enable users of the data to easily incorporate properties from these other linked data sources in future applications. The data set is made freely available with the Creative Commons CC0 License and can be downloaded as RDF-XML, N3/Turtle, N-Triples, JSON-LD or through RDFa embedded in the HTML page for each organization. We plan on periodically updating this data set with new organizations from our E-matrix system. This data set will also be the seed data for organizations in the Global Open Knowledgebase (GOKb) (http://gokb.org/), a freely available data repository with key publication information about electronic resources that will have its public release in September. As a part of NCSU?s lead role in the GOKb project, we are collaborating with the GOKb developers on future linked data initiatives involving title, package and platform data. For questions or reporting broken or incorrect links, please contact: Eric Hanson emhanso2 at ncsu.edu Electronic Resources Librarian Acquisitions & Discovery NCSU Libraries ============================ To unsubscribe: http://bit.ly/web4lib Web4Lib Web Site: http://web4lib.org/ 2014-07-09 From steffen.schilke at GMAIL.COM Wed Jul 9 13:02:06 2014 From: steffen.schilke at GMAIL.COM (Steffen Schilke) Date: Wed, 9 Jul 2014 19:02:06 +0200 Subject: seeking sql client to pose SQL queries In-Reply-To: <6F8C0499CDDFE04485C8AD3E353DCE460222726D0E75@gcc-exch07vm1> Message-ID: Heard good things about Squirrel SQL http://squirrel-sql.sourceforge.net/ For mySQL myphpadmin 2014-07-09 15:46 GMT+02:00 John Fitzgibbon : > Hi, > > > > Our website uses Microsoft SQL Server.

Message-ID: The Alberta Library is gearing up for another fantastic Netspeed conference! Have you registered yet? *The Alberta Library invites you to be a part of Netspeed: TheHuman Side Of Technology , held October 16 and 17, 2014 at the **Edmonton Marriott at River Cree Resort* * in Edmonton, AB.* Netspeed is a conference focused on technology and its applications and implications in library settings. Libraries are hugely impacted by technological shifts; it changes the way we do business, serve our customers, run our organizations, and even arrange our buildings. Libraries are early adopters, and often operate not just on the cutting edge but the bleeding edge of technology. Ours is a space that is ripe with possibilities for programmers, hardware and software experts, digital media creators, tech culture experts, social media innovators, and more. We offer learning experiences that include lectures, discussion, technology demonstrations, and the NExpo vendors' showcase. Our sessions are diverse and highly engaging; you'll hear from librarians, software developers, architects, instructors, researchers, and other experts from both the academic and the public library sectors. In partnership with Code4Lib, we are also hosting a day-long Hackfest on Wednesday, October 15th for tech enthusiasts who want to participate in a day of intense development and collaboration. The Hackfest will take place in the Makerspace of the Stanley Milner branch of the Edmonton Public library. You can register for both Netspeed the Hackfest at the Netspeed Online Registration form *For the full program, accommodation, registration links, and other information, please visit the Netspeed 2014 conference website .* __________________________ Lauren Sergy Director of Planning and Program Development (Acting) The Alberta Library 780-414-0805 ext. 230 lsergy at thealbertalibrary.ab.ca ============================ To unsubscribe: http://bit.ly/web4lib Web4Lib Web Site: http://web4lib.org/ 2014-07-10 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Of course, that would require either editing or reloading all of the records for these books, so it may be more trouble than you would wish. We currently have unique identifiers for each batch of ebook records in a searchable field that is not displayed by default. Those are mostly used by the librarians, when we want to see something like all of the eBrary DDA records, or all of the streaming videos from one provider. In our system, those are in the 910 field, which is indexed but not displayed unless you look at the MARC version. We also have collection identifiers in the 500 field, and that field is displayed to users.

Our Health and Safety Officer requires that public access computers be tested once a year, unless the public have no access whatsoever to the electric cable of the PC or of the monitor. In this case, testing only has to be done once every three years. To meet his requirements we need a kiosk with a built in monitor which prevents any access by a member of the public to any of the electric cables. Can anyone recommend such a kiosk?

In this four-week online course, you will learn how to write web copy that is succinct, understandable, and engaging. You will discover how users read online and the importance of focusing on your essential messages, using space effectively, and treating your website as a conversation with your users. You will learn how to establish a consistent voice and tone, and how to use such techniques as layering information, exploiting the power of parallelism, making good use of links, and keeping active space in your content. You will also learn how to best use bulleted and numbered lists and tables in presenting your web content, as well as the importance of producing alternative text for visually impaired users. Through examples, activities and hands-on practice, you will hone your skills in writing using active voice, straightforward sentences, and cutting unnecessary words. We did a survey of participants the last time this course was offered. Here are a few of the responses: "The quality of feedback was outstanding. The instructors really took the time to review each and every comment or assignment submitted and provide relevant, insightful criticism." "The learning modules were tailored perfectly. They were relevant and effective, but didn't take too much time. Good readings and good lectures." "It was packed full of tips and offered so much bang for the buck and time. I really appreciated the active learning component of working with an actual page and getting feedback from Nicole and Rebecca was super valuable. I also really like that we submitted our assignments via the discussion boards, because I learned a lot from what other classmates were doing and the kinds of feedback they got." "Thank you! I really loved this class and being pushed to immediately apply what we were learning. Know I will go back to my notes, the readings and the lectures for a long time!" 80% said "great value for the cost" (20% said expected value for the cost) 100% said they would recommend the course to others. Your instructors: Nicole Capdarest-Arest is the Clinical Librarian at Stanford University and past Emerging Technologies Librarian at the Arizona Health Sciences Library. She specializes in clinical knowledge services; emerging technologies in academic health sciences libraries; website usability, development and management; online tools to enhance library services; mobile health; and health informatics. Rebecca Blakiston is a User Experience Librarian and the Website Product Manager at the University of Arizona Libraries in Tucson, Arizona. She provides oversight, management, and strategic planning for the library website, specializing in guerilla usability testing, writing for the web, and content strategy. She has published and presented nationally on topics including instructional design, user experience, and continuous learning. Course structure This is an online class that is taught asynchronously, meaning that participants do the work on their own time as their schedules allow. The class does not meet together at any particular times, although the instructor may set up optional sychronous chat sessions. Instruction includes readings and assignments in one-week segments. Class participation is in an online forum environment. Payment info You can register in this course through the first week of instruction. The "Register" button on the website goes to our credit card payment gateway, which may be used with personal or institutional credit cards. (Be sure to use the appropriate billing address).

Commercial use of UAVs is currently illegal in the U.S. Nothing to stop you from using them for anything else as long as they aren't flown for profit or over someone else's property. I think one of the most interesting use of quads for personal use is with a camera attached. Lots of new photo opportunities. HOWEVER... Remember that RC models are not toys. They require good piloting technique. Quads also have sharp-edged blades and batteries that can, when damaged, create a vicious fire. Quads are often marketed as Ready To Fly. Unfortunately, most newbie pilots aren't RTF. When you have a quadcopter with four motors and one motor fails, you basically have no control over where the bird goes and it can crash pretty hard. The liability costs could be large so be very careful. You can get liability insurance if you join the Academy of Model Aeronautics. http://www.modelaircraft.org/ So, a few basic guidelines... Don't fly close to or over people. Don't fly over traffic. Keep your flights under 400 feet in altitude, more than 5 miles from an airport and don't use First Person View if you want to stay on good terms with the FAA. The FAA is VERY concerned with all the new interest in UAVs and there may come a day when stricter regulations are put in place, especially if there are a lot of accidents. Please use safe flying techniques.

The problem with it, on a basic level as a way to get people to the library, is that other departments could easily replicate that, and may feel (perhaps rightly) it is there proper domain. If there is a separate IT department, or media center, that loans out cameras, iPads, etc., a natural addition would be to lend out these gadgets...and most comp sci departments, where programming drones is taught, would provide this equipment (I was in a program that used Raspberry pi, and we each signed out a kit from the department). A lot of that equipment gets wrecked pretty easily, too, depending on whether you know what you are doing (many students I worked with blew circuits, lights, etc), so loaning out a book and that equipment have different implications. If you offer something unique, distinctive, you become intrinsically vital; this is true personally and as well organizationally. I am in no way being negative about new technologies; I love new technologies..I just think, we also offer something unique and vital, and new technology adoption should come from this place... So, if you had a package with a kit, a book on how to program it, etc, then maybe you are on to something; I could see this happening more in a public library than academic, as, again, interested students would be in departments which would provide access; a public library could have an educational program built around it...bring in a local expert. It would be a huge draw, no question; Michael Systems Librarian, Paul J.

A single-column 6x9" version designed for online/tablet reading is also available, at http://citesandinsights.info/civ14i8on.pdf (The single-column version is 61 pages long.) This issue includes the following: The Front: Once More with [Big] Dealing pp. 1-2 If you read the June 2014 issue, you may be aware that "Big-Deal Serial Purchasing: Tracking the Damage" wasn't available when I thought it would be. It's available now; this brief essay offers the link to the ALA Store page for the Library Technology Reports issue and notes the complementary book for those academic librarians with deeper interests. I believe every academic library should pay attention to this issue of LTR. If your library subscribes, it should be available now (electronically) or in a few days (in print form). If it doesn't, you should buy the issue as a separate. Some of you really would find Beyond the Damage: Circulation, Coverage and Staffing useful as well. Words: Doing It Yourself pp. 2-18 Notes on self-publishing and whether or not it makes sense for you (or for your library to assist with). Intersections: Access and Ethics 3 pp. 18-32 A range of commentaries having to do with open access and ethics over the past 18 months or so--and a couple of brief followups on previous essays. (You may notice that one Very Large Journal Publisher doesn't show up much in this essay. Its time will come.) What's not here: the list of C&I supporters and sponsors. I'll add the three names (yes, three) in a later issue. ============================ To unsubscribe: http://bit.ly/web4lib Web4Lib Web Site: http://web4lib.org/ 2014-07-15 From riley at TFSGEO.COM Tue Jul 15 18:25:00 2014 From: riley at TFSGEO.COM (Riley Childs) Date: Tue, 15 Jul 2014 18:25:00 -0400 Subject: Drones In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Long range near field communication?

We are about to launch our new library website in SharePoint in late August, but the path here was overly-complicated due to the need for some very deep development work of SharePoint by campus IT. I think anyone versed in SharePoint will be pretty surprised to see what our developers were able to pull off, including responsive design and integration with 3rd party APIs. But honestly, it took them a lot of time and effort and with the many other CMS out there (and in this day and age, you should be using a CMS), there were many other options, including .Net CMS options with ready-made modules, that we could have gone with and saved a lot of development time on. But SharePoint was the chosen campus solution, and the team did a pretty amazing job pulling it off?but it?s still SharePoint, so you?ll face redundant workflows and browser compatibility issues for your content editors.

There is a SharePoint module that provides a variety of services to connect to SharePoint 2010 and later, although I don't know of anyone using it with SharePoint 2013. It seems pretty dead.

This is largely what the SharePoint module does, but it makes fewer (as in no) assumptions. The bottom line is that your success in integrating Drupal, or any CMS, with SharePoint will depend on your objectives and your resources.

We have an interactive kiosk set up in the front of our library (http://touchkiosk.library.oregonstate.edu) which has a number of buttons for study room reservation, maps, computer availability, staff directory, class schedule, and hours. It uses custom google analytics events to track the length of viewing of a specific ?pane? as well as how many times a pane is selected. Since it was launched (April 2013) the numbers look like this (% is number of times picked/total picks and seconds is average viewing time): Room Reservation: 40.22% - 75.65 seconds Maps: 20.40% - 47.19 seconds Computer Availability: 13.36% - 15.21 seconds Directory: 9.88% - 55.85 seconds Classroom Schedule: 8.07% - 14.04 seconds Hours: 8.07% - 35.82 seconds A note about the times - the panes time out automatically after 60 seconds unless interacted with or switched away. So if it?s above 60 seconds they interacted past the timeout period, if not then they?re clicking away most of the time. I should also say that the numbers are likely skewed based on how interactive a pane is - patrons seem to interact longer with the more ?fun? ones like room reservation, directory, and hours.

She's been sharing pictures about the design and the process. I'd pick her brain. Also, At this stage I too would balk about a $30,000 price tag. There are some legit reasons [I guess] for the cost of the hardware, etc. - but based on how you and other libraries intend to use this it really shouldn't cost that much. What you need is a large touch screen with internet access, then you can essentially do what OSU [and Amanda] are doing and build a responsive website for the kiosk. It can be on top of a CMS or pull from RSS or JSON feeds to make it painless to update. You might even use a framework like jQuery Mobile (which isn't just for small hand screens) that adds a nice layer of interactive transitions, modals, etc. I'm x-posting this to code4lib because I think folks might like to weigh in.

We are partnering with Four Winds Interactive for the signs. Since we are hopeful that our small foray into signage will scale on campus, we wanted to begin with a robust, well established system that is easy to grow. Doing so also allows us to focus more on content and less on the back end (FWI will host). Once the interactive signs are in production we will likely expand with non-interactive signs. Students waiting in line to print are a big captive audience, so we will look next at doing signs above the printer islands.

The software basically runs the Chromium browser in kiosk mode with a bit of scripting to make it restart automatically if it crashes. It takes a little bit of web design to make a sign with their software, but you can do a lot more than a static slideshow, and edit your content from any web browser. With the Pi, you'll need a case, SD card, USB wireless dongle, HDMI cable, and USB power supply; the total comes in around $75. Connect it* to a standard TV with HDMI in, and you've got a really good looking sign. For us, the limiting factor is the cost of any wall mounting we want to do.

OPF members are invited to attend free-of-charge (please use the code issued to your main point of contact at your organisation). Non-members are welcome at the rate of ?150. Overview This event will focus on the PDF file format. Participants are encouraged to contribute requirements, for instance sample files with errors or anomalies for investigation. Currently available identification and validation tools will be demonstrated, with the opportunity to compare results using your own collections and identify gaps for future development. OPF members have identified specific tasks for the event: -check the validity of the files and whether they are encrypted; -perform quality assurance checks after migration, using comparison tools; -investigate error messages, repair the problems, and build a knowledge base; and -document and improve open source tool functionality e.g. JHOVE validation. There will also be discussion sessions, and the opportunity to share experiences with peer organisations. Olaf Dr?mmer, Chairman of the PDF Association, will present the work of the ISO standards body, including efforts related to PDF and PDF/A, and share the industry perspective on tool development. Who should attend? Collection owners with a responsibility to preserve PDFs. Bring along your problem files! Developers interested in hacking PDF identification and validation tools. Why attend? -learn about PDF and PDF/A standards -document and prioritise known preservation problems with PDF files -assess state of the art identification and validation tools -test the tools on sample files and compare the results -define organisational requirements and policies for conformance -identify requirements for future development work (road-mapping) -help improve current PDF tools (hacking) Agenda The agenda can be seen at: http://wiki.opf-labs.org/display/KB/2014-09-01+Preserving+PDF+-+identify%2C+validate%2C+repair.

Your input has been invaluable. Using insights from our qualitative research interviews, focus groups and Twitter party, we have created an online survey to help inform our white paper on the use and best practice of social media in the library: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/WLCYSRV Through this survey, we hope to establish how the use of social media differs by job role in the library and to determine the most useful social media tools and best applications for these tools in a library setting. The survey will examine: - Using Social Media Channels in the Library - Measurability: The Impact of Social Media in the Library - Trends of Social Media in the Library - The Future of Social Media in the Library The White Paper will be supplemented with a practical guide on using social media in the library, filled with tips, recommendations and case studies. Complete the survey by Monday, July 28th to contribute to our research and share your experiences to benefit the library community (t&c apply). If you complete the survey in its entirety, you will be entered in a drawing to win a $100 Amazon Gift card. Three winners will be selected. For more information about the White Paper, visit: http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/pdf/white-paper-social-media-in-the-library-best-practice.pdf Thanks again, for your interest and input.

Getting What We Paid for: a Script to Verify Full Access to E-Resources Kristina M. Spurgin Libraries regularly pay for packages of e-resources containing hundreds to thousands of individual titles. Ideally, library patrons could access the full content of all titles in such packages. In reality, library staff and patrons inevitably stumble across inaccessible titles, but no library has the resources to manually verify full access to all titles, and basic URL checkers cannot check for access. This article describes the E-Resource Access Checker?a script that automates the verification of full access. With the Access Checker, library staff can identify all inaccessible titles in a package and bring these problems to content providers? attention to ensure we get what we pay for. Opening the Door: A First Look at the OCLC WorldCat Metadata API Terry Reese Libraries have long relied on OCLC?s WorldCat database as a way to cooperatively share bibliographic data and declare library holdings to support interlibrary loan services. As curator, OCLC has traditionally mediated all interactions with the WorldCat database through their various cataloging clients to control access to the information. As more and more libraries look for new ways to interact with their data and streamline metadata operations and workflows, these clients have become bottlenecks and an inhibitor of library innovation. To address some of these concerns, in early 2013 OCLC announced the release of a set of application programming interfaces (APIs) supporting read and write access to the WorldCat database. These APIs offer libraries their first opportunity to develop new services and workflows that directly interact with the WorldCat database, and provide opportunities for catalogers to begin redefining how they work with OCLC and their data.

Compared to more traditional virtualization techniques, Docker is lighter on system resources, offers a git-like system of commits and tags, and can be scaled from your laptop to the cloud. A Metadata Schema for Geospatial Resource Discovery Use Cases Darren Hardy and Kim Durante We introduce a metadata schema that focuses on GIS discovery use cases for patrons in a research library setting. Text search, faceted refinement, and spatial search and relevancy are among GeoBlacklight?s primary use cases for federated geospatial holdings. The schema supports a variety of GIS data types and enables contextual, collection-oriented discovery applications as well as traditional portal applications. One key limitation of GIS resource discovery is the general lack of normative metadata practices, which has led to a proliferation of metadata schemas and duplicate records. The ISO 19115/19139 and FGDC standards specify metadata formats, but are intricate, lengthy, and not focused on discovery. Moreover, they require sophisticated authoring environments and cataloging expertise. Geographic metadata standards target preservation and quality measure use cases, but they do not provide for simple inter-institutional sharing of metadata for discovery use cases. To this end, our schema reuses elements from Dublin Core and GeoRSS to leverage their normative semantics, community best practices, open-source software implementations, and extensive examples already deployed in discovery contexts such as web search and mapping. Finally, we discuss a Solr implementation of the schema using a ?geo? extension to MODS. Ebooks without Vendors: Using Open Source Software to Create and Share Meaningful Ebook Collections Matt Weaver The Community Cookbook project began with wondering how to take local cookbooks in the library?s collection and create a recipe database. The final website is both a recipe website and collection of ebook versions of local cookbooks. This article will discuss the use of open source software at every stage in the project, which proves that an open source publishing model is possible for any library. Within Limits: mass-digitization from scratch Pieter De Praetere The provincial library of West-Vlaanderen (Belgium) is digitizing a large part of its iconographic collection. Due to various (technical and financial) reasons no specialist software was used. FastScan is a set of VBS-scripts that was developed by the author using off-the-shelf software that was either included in MS Windows (XP & 7) or already installed (imageMagick, Irfanview, littlecms, exiv2). This scripting package has increased the digitization efforts immensely. The article will show what software was used, the problems that occurred and how they were scripted together. A Web Service for File-Level Access to Disk Images Sunitha Misra, Christopher A. Lee and Kam Woods Digital forensics tools have many potential applications in the curation of digital materials in libraries, archives and museums (LAMs). Open source digital forensics tools can help LAM professionals to extract digital contents from born-digital media and make more informed preservation decisions. Many of these tools have ways to display the metadata of the digital media, but few provide file-level access without having to mount the device or use complex command-line utilities. This paper describes a project to develop software that supports access to the contents of digital media without having to mount or download the entire image. The work examines two approaches in creating this tool: First, a graphical user interface running on a local machine. Second, a web-based application running in web browser. The project incorporates existing open source forensics tools and libraries including The Sleuth Kit and libewf along with the Flask web application framework and custom Python scripts to generate web pages supporting disk image browsing. Processing Government Data: ZIP Codes, Python, and OpenRefine Frank Donnelly While there is a vast amount of useful US government data on the web, some of it is in a raw state that is not readily accessible to the average user. Data librarians can improve accessibility and usability for their patrons by processing data to create subsets of local interest and by appending geographic identifiers to help users select and aggregate data. This case study illustrates how census geography crosswalks, Python, and OpenRefine were used to create spreadsheets of non-profit organizations in New York City from the IRS Tax-Exempt Organization Masterfile. This paper illustrates the utility of Python for data librarians and should be particularly insightful for those who work with address-based data. Indexing Bibliographic Database Content Using MariaDB and Sphinx Search Server Arie Nugraha Fast retrieval of digital content has become mandatory for library and archive information systems. Many software applications have emerged to handle the indexing of digital content, from low-level ones such Apache Lucene, to more RESTful and web-services-ready ones such Apache Solr and ElasticSearch. Solr?s popularity among library software developers makes it the ?de-facto? standard software for indexing digital content. For content (full-text content or bibliographic description) already stored inside a relational DBMS such as MariaDB (a fork of MySQL) or PostgreSQL, Sphinx Search Server (Sphinx) is a suitable alternative. This article will cover an introduction on how to use Sphinx with MariaDB databases to index database content as well as some examples of Sphinx API usage. Solving Advanced Encoding Problems with FFMPEG Josh Romphf Previous articles in the Code4Lib Journal touch on the capabilities of FFMPEG in great detail, and given these excellent introductions, the purpose of this article is to tackle some of the common problems users might face, dissecting more complicated commands and suggesting their possible uses. HathiTrust Ingest of Locally Managed Content: A Case Study from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Kyle R. Rimkus & Kirk M. Hess In March 2013, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Library adopted a policy to more closely integrate the HathiTrust Digital Library into its own infrastructure for digital collections. Specifically, the Library decided that the HathiTrust Digital Library would serve as a trusted repository for many of the library?s digitized book collections, a strategy that favors relying on HathiTrust over locally managed access solutions whenever this is feasible. This article details the thinking behind this policy, as well as the challenges of its implementation, focusing primarily on technical solutions for ?remediating? hundreds of thousands of image files to bring them in line with HathiTrust?s strict specifications for deposit. This involved implementing HTFeed, a Perl 5 application developed at the University of Michigan for packaging content for ingest into Hathi Trust, and its many helper applications (JHOVE to detect metadata problems, Exiftool to detect metadata issues and repair missing image metadata, and Kakadu to create JP2000 files), as well as a file format conversion process using ImageMagick. Today, Illinois has over 1600 locally managed volumes queued for ingest, and has submitted over 2300 publicly available titles to the HathiTrust Digital Library. ============================ To unsubscribe: http://bit.ly/web4lib Web4Lib Web Site: http://web4lib.org/ 2014-07-21 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The focus should be on technology in libraries, whether that's use of, new ideas for, trends in, or interesting/innovative projects being explored - it?s all for you to propose. In 2014, we received over 60 proposals, resulting in 20 great LITA programs at the 2014 Annual Conference, all of which came from contributions like yours. We look forward to hearing the great ideas you will share with us this year. *When/Where is the Conference?* 2015 Annual ALA Conference, San Francisco, CA, June 25 ? 30, 2015 *What kind of topics are we looking for? * We?re looking for programs of interest to all library/information agency types, that inspire technological change and adoption, or/and generally go above and beyond the everyday. Some successful topics in the 2014 included: Practical Linked Data with Open Source (Full-day preconference); Technology Priorities for the New Library Reality; Building Gorgeous Responsive Websites with Twitter-Bootstrap. Some topics we are interested in are: library hackathons; data management & curation; responsive web design; homegrown technology tools, especially projects that adapt popular technologies in use outside libraries, for library use. *When are proposals due? * September 2, 2014 *How I do submit a proposal? * Fill out this form http://bit.ly/LiCFP15 Program descriptions should be 75 words or less. *When will I have an answer? * The committee will be reviewing proposals after September 2; final decisions will be made by October 1. *Do I have to be a member of ALA/LITA/an IG/a committee?* No! We welcome proposals from anyone who feels they have something to offer regarding library technology. Unfortunately, we are not able to provide financial support for speakers. Because of the limited number of programs, LITA IGs and Committees will receive preference where two equally well written programs are submitted. Presenters may be asked to combine programs or work with an IG/Committee where similar topics have been proposed. *Got another question?* Please feel free to email me (PPC chair) (dsshapiro at wisc.edu Thanks! dsshapiro at wisc.edu Debra Shapiro UW-Madison SLIS Helen C.

There will be two doors for the cafe that are open to the public: one that provides access from the outside and one that provides access from the inside of the library. Because of this, students will be able to take the library's laptops (we loan them out to students to use) outside of the cafe. We secure the laptops with magnetic strips. Although this is a good solution, we do not think that we will be able to have someone in the cafe to monitor what comes and goes from it. We worry that once outside, we will not be able to manage access to the laptops. We were thinking about using GPS Tracker devices to help us to track the laptops. However, they are too large and expensive. Do you have any ideas about what we should do? Is there a lightweight solution to this problem? Thank you in advance for your help.

Message-ID: Hello: Does anyone have a good way of searching LibGuides for finding content that needs to be updated? We know about the search and replace function, but that works best for direct 1-to-1 changes. This does not always work for us. For example, we need to find every guide that has the old WorldCat Local search box code, in order to replace it with our new WorldCat Discovery search box code. It is not going to be a simple search and replace job. Another example would be when we phase out a particular service; we simply want to find the guides that feature that service and delete the content, not replace it with anything. I am experimenting with Google's Advanced Search and limiting to our LibGuides site. But I fear this is not necessarily exhaustive, and I do not think this would work for finding snippets of code on the back-end. How do you stay on top of changes to LibGuide content? Thank you.

In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Mary, We are on LibGuides version 2. I still have a master guide with templates/widgets I reuse like others have mentioned. But, we recently updated our catalog which required changing the URL. In the new version of LibGuides, the search and replace took care of exactly what you are wanting. I employed the search, found over 600 instances the old URL was being used, no matter how, whether it was a widget, straight code, a book, link, anyplace that we used it, and was successful in changing it to the new URL, seamlessly, no matter where or how it was used.
