This tutorial will present the problems of data structuring and validation in RDF. There will be a discussion of current techniques that are being proposed as solutions (SPIN, Data Shapes, ICV, etc.). Using examples from the cultural heritage community (Europeana Data Model (EDM), Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) Metadata Application Profile (MAP), etc.), speakers will present actual cases where validation and record-like structuring is needed. It will relate these efforts to the concept of application profiles, drawing on some existing examples, such as Dublin Core Application Profiles (DCAP) and BIBFRAME Profiles. *Learning Outcomes:* Attendees will able to: 1. Understand why validation is a significant issue with RDF and OWL; and, how constraints in those languages differ from our usual concept of constraints; 2. Identify and monitor today's efforts, and those in development, to solve this problem of validation; 3. Describe some of the specific validation issues with cultural heritage data; and 4. Articulate the issues in their own cultural heritage context. Attendees will be encouraged to ask questions of speakers with "real life" experience with linked data and the issues of validation. *NOTE:* This tutorial is especially recommended for DC-2014 delegates new to the topic and planning on attending the Thursday Special Session: *RDF Application Profiles and Tools for Metadata Validation and Quality Control * (http://dcevents.dublincore.org/IntConf/index/pages/view/rdfAP). *Tutorial Planners/Presenters include:* - Karen Coyle (Facilitator)?Consultant, USA - Tom Baker, Sungkyunkwan University, Korea - Kai Eckert, University of Mannheim, Germany - Tom Johnson, Digital Public Library of America (DPLA), USA - Stefanie Ruehl, SUB G?ttingen, Germany *Registration:* You can register using the day-rate option to DC-2014 or join us for the full DC-2014 program at http://dcevents.dublincore.org/index.php/IntConf/index/pages/view/registration-2014 . *Don't wait, register now!* This Tutorial and the DC-2014 Conference cap the second week of the *Austin City Limits Music Festival *( http://www.aclfestival.com/) and hotel rooms will become increasingly scarce as the Conference dates approach. ------------- Stuart Sutton DCMI Managing Director ============================ To unsubscribe: http://bit.ly/web4lib Web4Lib Web Site: http://web4lib.org/ 2014-09-06 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The longer length allows the depth of coverage of a conference coupled with the convenience of a webinar. Date: September 24, 2014 Time: 11:00 am - 5:00 pm Eastern Event webpage: http://www.niso.org/news/events/2014/virtual/data_in_the_cloud/ ABOUT THE VIRTUAL CONFERENCE Cloud computing seems to be a growing trend, no matter the industry or type of information system. Library systems are no stranger to this trend; just about every major systems provider has a cloud-based solution available. While many factors for selecting a cloud system are similar to those for any information system decision, there are some special issues and challenges for storing your data in the cloud, including security, privacy, ownership, interoperability, and transferability. In NISO's September 24 virtual conference, Library Data in the Cloud-to be held from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm EDT-libraries that have explored the use of cloud systems will discuss their experiences, their concerns, issues encountered, and lessons learned.

The survey helps its readers to answer questions such as: how much are public libraries spending on eBooks? How much do they spend on specific vendors and publishers such as OverDrive, Baker & Taylor, EBSCO, Recorded Books, Gale and Harper Collins, Penguin/Random House and many others. What percentage of best sellers do they make available as eBooks? How is the profusion of tablet computers affecting their plans? In what subject areas are public libraries most interested in building their eBook collections? The study also gives detailed data on the extent that various eBook use and purchasing models account for library eBook spending, providing data on ownership models, pay per view models, subscription models and others. The study also provides data on the growth rate of each type of model. The report also looks at how libraries use public domain eBooks. The study also provides detailed data on the use of eAudiobooks presenting data on expenditures, growth rates, and the number of titles held. In addition the report looks at the extent to which public libraries are able to make available eBooks for best sellers, and their overall strategy for reconciling their print and eBook collections. The study also looks at the growing use of tablet computers in public library, at the uses and abuses of eBook use statistics, use of electronic directories, the direction of eBook prices, and many other issues in public library eBook selection and management. Just a few of the study?s major findings are that: ? Public library spending on eBooks is expected to increase by 33 percent in 2014. ? In 2013, the libraries in the sample spent a mean of $10,861 on eAudiobooks. ? Libraries in the sample estimate that a mean of 53.72 percent of their eBook collection spending is through contracts negotiated by consortium. ? Survey participants estimate that nearly half (a mean of 48.36 percent) the top 20 print titles that were loaned out to patrons in the last year are also available for loan as eBooks. Data in the report is broken out separately for libraries based on size of staff, size of library service area, local area per capita income and other criteria.

There are a lot of pixel-based measurements in the main.css file, which always rings alarm bells for me. I'd suggest commenting out anything in the CSS that touches the div containing the text and the div below it. Disable stuff until you have the text displaying right, and then start re-enabling one directive at a time until you see which one breaks it.

The way to go is with a CSS tweak.

Available handbooks and training materials focus on an audience with a computer science background. However, people with a non-technical education find it hard to understand what Linked Data can mean for them. This full-day, hands-on workshop will provide an overview of methods and case studies from the handbook "Linked Data for Libraries, Archives and Museums" (2014, ALA/Neal-Schuman). Using freely available tools and data, this workshop will teach you how to clean, reconcile, enrich, and publish your metadata. Participants will learn about concepts, methods, and tools that they can use on their own, or to teach others within their own institutions, to get more value from metadata. *Workshop Tutors:* *SETH VAN HOOLAND *is an Assistant Professor at the Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB), where he leads the Master in Information Science. After a career in the private sector for a digitization company, he obtained his PhD in information science at ULB in 2009. He recently taught a special course on linked data at the Information School of the University of Washington. He is also active as a consultant for both public and private organizations. *RUBEN VERBORGH* is a researcher in semantic hypermedia at Ghent University ? iMinds, Belgium, where he obtained his PhD in computer science in 2014. He explores the connection between semantic web technologies and the web's architectural properties, with the ultimate goal of building more intelligent clients. Along the way, he has become fascinated by linked data, REST/hypermedia, web APIs and related technologies. He is the co-author of a book on OpenRefine and several publications on web-related topics in international journals. *Workshop Agenda:* - 08:30: Coffee and welcome - 09:00: Introduction - data models and the role of RDF - 09:45: Data quality and cleaning - 10:45: Coffee break - 11:00: Hands-on cleaning (+ helping participants with install issues) - 12:00: Lunch - 1:00: Reconciliation - usage of RDF extension and LCSH endpoint - 2:00: Named-Entity Recognition - usage of NER extension - 3:00: Coffee break - 3:30: Sustainable publication - REST - 4:30 Discussion regarding learning outcomes *Registration:* You can register for the Workshop using the day-rate option to DC-2014 or join us for the full DC-2014 program at http://dcevents.dublincore.org/index.php/IntConf/index/pages/view/registration-2014 . *Don't wait, register now!* The number of people that can participate in the Workshop is limited. This Workshop and the DC-2014 Conference cap the second week of the Austin City Limits Music Festival ( http://www.aclfestival.com/) and hotel rooms will become increasingly scarce as the Conference dates approach. ------------- Stuart Sutton DCMI Managing Director ============================ To unsubscribe: http://bit.ly/web4lib Web4Lib Web Site: http://web4lib.org/ 2014-09-13 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We will be consolidating all services into our 3 Branches. Due to space limitations we are forced to reduce the number of public computers from 50 to about 25. Now we allow non-residents and residents to use all of the computers on a first come first serve basis and this has worked just fine. However, once the Main Library closes, to satisfy our residents' need, we will have to limit non-residents to a designated non-resident computer at each Branch. If a designated resident computer is free, of course the non-resident will be invited to use it. Just a question for those libraries that use this approach: 1. If a resident is using a non-resident computer and a non-resident appears, do you ask the resident to vacate the non-resident computer? If so, do you give them 5 minutes? 10 minutes? to finish up their work? 2. Do you let the resident finish out their time and not ask them to vacate the computer? If you have any ideas or suggestions, they will be greatly appreciated and shared with the group. Thanks!

We do not distinguish between the 3 categories of patrons (Township resident / PA-Access-resident / Non-resident). Should all computers be in use, we make a reservation where the person who has been on a computer the longest will give up their session. This usually, means we are reserving a computer that is being used by a regular. (We have patrons who are always on a computer). Our sessions are 45-minutes, but can be renewed in 15-minute increments, provided no reservations are on that machine. In practice, the wait time seems to be ~15-minutes. The software we have in place handles all warnings. We configured it for: 10-minute warning (?please save work ? the session may end in 10 minutes?) 7-minute warning (much the same as above) 4-minute warning (?Save your work, the session WILL end in 4-minutes due to an existing reservation, anything that has not been saved cannot be recovered?)

There is no cost for participating in the open symposium; the costs are funded by a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Registration links and other details are on this page: https://foss4lib.org/schoss/open-symposium/attending Successful open source projects have support structures where bugs are reported, code enhancements are created and reviewed, documentation provided, and user questions answered. In mainstream open source projects, the core people in those support structures usually come from companies with a vested interest in the ongoing health of the software. (At times, one company will be the primary driver of ongoing support for a project. At other times, a consortium of cooperating companies will provide ongoing support.) In projects from the cultural heritage community -- libraries, archives, museums -- the source of ongoing support varies widely: grant subsidized funding, in-kind donations of staff time to work on a project's community-focused needs, voluntary monetary donations or memberships to non-profit stewards of a project, sales of services by non-profit stewards to cross-subsidize community needs, and often a combination of all of these possibilities. The purpose of the symposium is to provide managers of open source software projects and organization leaders with details about support practices in use in the field and to further the cooperation of cultural heritage organizations towards common interests in sustainable open source. The symposium runs from 12:30pm to 3:30pm EDT on September 24 and 25, 2014, and includes two or three 20-minute prepared talks from community leaders and panel question/answer. Colleagues are encouraged to use the public discussion site on FOSS4Lib to ask questions of each other and the panel. Find links to topics on the community discussion site at: https://foss4lib.org/schoss/open-symposium/symposium-schedule-speakers-and-topics SEPTEMBER 24TH: CREATING THE CONDITIONS FOR COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT If you build it, will they come? The structure for encouraging and valuing the contributions of those that adopt the code is of equal importance to the functionality of the code itself. Adopters of an open source project come to rely on the software to varying degrees. In the same way, projects rely on adopters to keep the project moving forward. This session looks at what projects can do to encourage community participation. Prepared Talks ? Jennie Rose Halperin, Mozilla Foundation ? Megan Forbes, CollectionSpace Organizational Home ? Evviva Weinraub Lajoie, Oregon State University Libraries Seed Questions ? What is the most important thing a project can do to attract or retain community members? What is the most important thing it not do? ? If you had a chance to sit down with an organization considering the adoption of a package you are leading, what would you want them to understand about your community? What would you ask of them if they did decide to adopt the software? ? How has your institution participated in open source development? Describe an experience where you were turned off from contributing to an open source project. ? What role should commercial support providers of open source play in encouraging their customers to join the project's community? SEPTEMBER 25TH: WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO ADOPT AN OPEN SOURCE PACKAGE So, whether on your own or through a service provider you've decided to use an open source package to meet an automation need in your organization. You paid nothing for the right to run the software (although you may be paying a service provider for their support of the software), so you have no obligation to the software itself, right? Arguably not. Healthy open source software is supported by a community of users, and the other participants in the open source project are counting on your support -- financial and talent -- to keep the project growing. This session outlines expectations that open source adopters should have when implementing an OSS project. Prepared Talks ? John Brice, Meadville Public Library ? Stuart Miller, Univ of Chicago Seed Questions ? How do you overcome the situation where the software doesn't have a helpdesk to call upon for issues? ? How does the needs of the project affect decisions to adopt by organizations? ? What does an adopter look for in an open source community? ? What does an adopter look for in a company or organization that provides support for an open source project? ? What is your role and responsibility for making the software sustainable? -- Peter Murray Assistant Director, Technology Services Development LYRASIS Peter.Murray at lyrasis.org +1 678-235-2955 800.999.8558 x2955 ============================ To unsubscribe: http://bit.ly/web4lib Web4Lib Web Site: http://web4lib.org/ 2014-09-15 From D.Cridland at UWS.EDU.AU Mon Sep 15 19:59:33 2014 From: D.Cridland at UWS.EDU.AU (David Cridland) Date: Mon, 15 Sep 2014 23:59:33 +0000 Subject: Room scheduling software In-Reply-To: <8404A1F9756FFA4BADE897E258315BC133D3ECAB@ad-cc-mbx01> Message-ID: Hi Sara, At University of Western Sydney we use a system that is based on the "Meeting Room Booking System" open source software available at this location http://mrbs.sourceforge.net/ For the UWS system we have made changes to adapt the system to our needs.

DATE: October 21 - 22, 2014 LOCATION: University of Chicago Booth School of Business ? Gleacher Center EVENT WEBSITE: http://www.niso.org/news/events/2014/forum_2014/ ABOUT THE FORUM Web technologies have changed, and continue to change, the way that content is delivered to libraries and to users. Currently e-journals are delivered through platforms but the final object is still often a PDF file. E-books are generally delivered as a downloadable file to a stand-alone e-reader. However, with the advent of the Open Web Platform using standards such as HTML5, we are looking at a new era of separating the content from the container. The web as a distribution platform offers many new opportunities for more utilization of multimedia and streaming media, embedding of apps, increased linkages and interoperability between related content, greater interactivity with content, social sharing of user-generated content related to a ?publication,? text mining, and much more that hasn?t even been imagined yet.

It helps librarians to answer questions such as: how fast is eBook spending growing? Which eBook purchasing models are growing fastest? Subscription models that allow unlimited access? pay per view models? Outright ownership? Other models? What percentage of eBook purchases are through consortia? What percentage direct from publishers? What percentage through aggregators? The report also gives detailed data on spending on various major players such as OverDrive, ebrary, EBSCO, Baker & Taylor, EBL and many others. It is particularly rich on data about eBook purchases from academic presses. The study also looks at the growth of tablet computing in academic libraries, at the use of eBooks in course reserve, at purchases of eDirectories and eTextbooks, and other issues in academic library eBook purchasing and deployment Just a few of the study?s many findings are that: ? eBooks accounted for a mean of 18.44% of titles ordered from academic presses. ? The annual change in spending on eBooks through a model that grants unlimited patron use for a specified subscription period was 27.42% ? Libraries of colleges that charge more than $20,000 in tuition annually made 20.36% of their eBook orders directly from publishers. ? For libraries in colleges with more than 7,000 students, the mean increase in patron use of eBooks was 62.2% and the median increase of 25%. ? 33.33% of libraries surveyed said that eBooks were not used for course reserve at all.

It got very little use and most students and their parents said they did not like JAWS. The main complaint was that they found it awkward to use. The last copy we had was a version from 2008. By the time students get to us, they have found software that works well for them and that is what they continue using. Whatever package they use, it usually allows installation on several machines so we install it for them on a classroom pc or on one of the pcs in the public area when they ask. The administration here has decided it needs to do more to comply with assistive technology regulations, so they are buying a network license for JAWS and we will install a copy or two here in the library. I told them about our previous experience with JAWS, but it seems to be the go-to package and I think the intent is to have something we can point to and say we are complying with regulations, whether students use it or not. Of course it is impossible to have a copy of every available package installed, and the newer version has undoubtedly improved and may be more popular. Before you purchase anything you might try to find out what your students use. I have found the students and their parents are very knowledgeable about the different products available and what works best for them.

Kimmel-Smith) Date: Tue, 23 Sep 2014 10:23:37 -0400 Subject: Adaptive/Assistive Software on Library Machines In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Hi, Here at Lehigh University we just "downgraded" our Kurzweil 3K license to a single-user license due to a dramatic decline in use over the past few years. The primary Kurzweil user in 2013/14 (a single person who appeared to use it daily) turned out to be using the dedicated room as a study space, not the software. Students seem to be opting to use other software on their mobile devices. We have one copy of JAWS which we load on either the student machine or a dedicated machine, whichever is needed. It has been more than adequate so far, and it seems to be the preferred software for the students we work with. We work closely with Disability Services to provide a rapid and personalized response. The staff in that area are extremely hands-on with their students and we have not been caught off-guard so far. Hope this helps.

We have 3 laptops with ZoomText. To the best of my knowledge none has ever been used (or even requested) by students who might need it. In the meantime, every time our IT department re-images the laptops there's a scurry to find the software for the ZoomText and get it installed properly so that it doesn't come on automatically for everyone! (those laptops circulate to the general student population as well). As far as I can tell ZoomText does do what it should--enlarges the information on the screen for those with visual needs, and it also has a text reader. Either can be turned on/off individually so you can have the enlarged text without speech, speech without enlarged text, or neither or both. In order to borrow the laptop to use as assistive technology the student would have to register with our Disabilities Office and present appropriate documentation to us. We thought the record-keeping might be difficult, but since no one has requested them, it's been pretty easy! Nancy ***************************************************** Nancy B.

My fingers spazzed out and I don't know if I ctrl+sent the email or just closed the window. ANYWAY, I recommended just using WordPress and one of the many various "user submitted posts" plugins people have created for any number of reasons: crowdsourcing, social tagging, etc. Here's a quick roundup: https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-submitted-posts/ http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/wordpress-post-frontend-plugins/ Puzzling one together with a unrelated plugins http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-allow-users-to-submit-posts-to-your-wordpress-site/ Most of these ^ have "premium" versions, but it wouldn't be hard to write the functionality yourself if you are comfortable doing some dev [or finding one]. The basic thing you are doing is * Allow a user, without logging in, to submit content for review * You or another editor reviews and publishes. which is, of course, what WP does best. Coupled with an attractive, useful theme that handles featured images nicely, you can make a good collection. These can be rolled with other CMS's, too, like Drupal or Omeka; but I gather you can patch one together with less hassle using WordPress. Then, if you need more robust metadata attached to media, you or another dev can extend WP as needed. If you go this route or hit snags, https://www.facebook.com/groups/wordpress.librarians/ is fun and helpful. : ) Michael www.libux.co From: Web technologies in libraries [mailto:WEB4LIB at LISTSERV.ND.EDU] On Behalf Of John Fitzgibbon Sent: Tuesday, September 23, 2014 7:48 AM To: WEB4LIB at LISTSERV.ND.EDU Subject: [WEB4LIB] building a photograph gathering website Hi, We are interested in creating a website that will allow the public to submit historical photographs of our region along with a short description of the photograph.

For more information about the Code4Lib community, please visit http://code4lib.org/about/. The conference will be held at the Portland Hilton & Executive Tower in Portland, Oregon, from February 9-12, 2015. *Proposals for Prepared Talks:* We encourage everyone to propose a talk. Prepared talks are 20 minutes (including setup and questions), and should focus on one or more of the following areas: - Projects you've worked on which incorporate innovative implementation of existing technologies and/or development of new software - Tools and technologies ? How to get the most out of existing tools, standards and protocols (and ideas on how to make them better) - Technical issues - Big issues in library technology that should be addressed or better understood - Relevant non-technical issues ? Concerns of interest to the Code4Lib community which are not strictly technical in nature, e.g. collaboration, diversity, organizational challenges, etc. *To Propose a Talk* - Log in to the Code4Lib wiki and edit the Prepared Talk wiki page using the prescribed format. If you are not already registered, follow the instructions to do so. - Provide a title and brief (500 words or fewer) description of your proposed talk. - If you so choose, you may also indicate when, if ever, you have presented at a prior Code4Lib conference. This information is completely optional, but it may assist voters in opening the conference to new presenters. As in past years, the Code4Lib community will vote on proposals that they would like to see included in the program. The top 10 proposals are guaranteed a slot at the conference. The Program Committee will curate the remainder of the program in an effort to ensure diversity in program content and presenters. Community votes will, of course, still weigh heavily in these decisions. Presenters whose proposals are selected for inclusion in the program will be guaranteed an opportunity to register for the conference. The standard conference registration fee will still apply. Proposals can be submitted through *Friday, November 7, 2014 at 5pm PST (GMT?8)*. Voting will start on November 11, 2014 and continue through November 25, 2014. The URL to submit votes will be announced on the Code4Lib website and mailing list and will require an active code4lib.org account to participate. The final list of presentations will be announced in early- to mid-December. thanks, ranti. On behalf of Code4Lib 2015 Program Planning Committee -- Bulk mail.

Your current site appears to be static and generated by Dreamweaver. It is likely pretty low on the neediness scale and could be placed on any reliable host. Hostgator is one of those. If you move to a CMS ? I see that your institution is using Wordpress ? you move to a higher level of neediness. You need an application platform ? PHP for Wordpress, a database hosted on a database server, and perhaps most importantly, someone to pay attention to security and update the software and servers, when necessary. Commodity hosts like the ones you mentioned should have no problem meeting the technical requirements for a small Wordpress or Drupal site. What they don't offer, generally, is site-specific application maintenance. In other words, they might update the database software, the web server software and the server software, but they probably won't update the service software, because that might bring down your site. This is why companies like Lishost (and mine) are worth looking at, if you are going to run a CMS. Cherry Hill ? MPOW ? is a full service Drupal shop, and we do all of the maintenance, monitoring and backups for our clients. Most of our hosting customers have our basic package, which at $900/year including all you can ask support, would likely be overkill for you, but it frees them from worry.

How easy is it to customize(templates and functionality)? How well is it supported (community size and supporting organization)? How secure is it? Does it work on your hosting environment? I choose Modx for my CMS. Looks like windows explorer showing web structure on the left and stuff being edited on the right. Easy for newbies. Easy to create templates, html-based with simple template tags to add menus, content, etc. functionality is strong needs 3-5 plug ins max for most sites. While it is open source a for profit company manages/supports it. Good support community. Secure as people's livelihoods depend on it. One of the default dashboard elements is security info. Php and MySQL based. Most shared hosting supports it as is. Some require turning off the compress css/js.

Your current site appears to be static and generated by Dreamweaver. It is likely pretty low on the neediness scale and could be placed on any reliable host. Hostgator is one of those. If you move to a CMS - I see that your institution is using Wordpress - you move to a higher level of neediness. You need an application platform - PHP for Wordpress, a database hosted on a database server, and perhaps most importantly, someone to pay attention to security and update the software and servers, when necessary. Commodity hosts like the ones you mentioned should have no problem meeting the technical requirements for a small Wordpress or Drupal site. What they don't offer, generally, is site-specific application maintenance. In other words, they might update the database software, the web server software and the server software, but they probably won't update the service software, because that might bring down your site.

Fox) Date: Wed, 24 Sep 2014 11:59:35 -0500 Subject: library website hosting In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Thank you for your feedback, Cynthia. We were unenthusiastic about the WordPress templates we were told we had to use to develop the library website when this new college website was debuted five or six years ago. At that time the impression we had from our IT department was that this was all we could work with, i.e., they could not support a custom template just for the library. >From what campus IT now appears to be telling us, they will work with us on a custom template, so this is something we must consider and may ultimately be our only option if we are not given IT and administrative permission to choose another option such as a hosted website with Joomla or Drupal or LibGuides. I appreciate your feedback as well as everyone else's because it is given us much to think about as we weigh and consider our options.

If you want to reply, you can contact her at the email address she gives at the end of the message ). A few years ago I coordinated a couple of grant projects (see http://nottypical.org/accessibility) which, among other things, helped determine what Universal Access services worked best in a sample group of public libraries, which were found to be inappropriate, and why. Funded by our State Library and IMLS, the projects ultimately involved 13 different public libraries serving various community sizes in urban, suburban and rural North Texas. The link I provided above will provide more in-depth details about the project, what each library did with its funds, which ones offered Accessibility Fairs in their communities to help "show off" the new services (plus the toolkit used for putting those Fairs together), what items were purchased by which libraries (so that other library personnel could contact the library directors with requests for critiques of the products/vendors, etc. The data has not been updated recently, and the site is no longer being maintained, but most of the information is still useful, IMO. I'm passionate about Universal Design, Universal Access and public libraries, so I'm in the process of developing several blog posts on those combined topics. The first four of those provide answers to many of your questions and are available at ? http://elephantinthelibrary.com/ . The articles are about the following topics. - Assistive Technology for public libraries vs what?s intended for individual use - Assistive Technology hardware / software recommendations for public libraries - Large print keyboards & keyboard overlays (gum-backed stickers for each key) - Assistive Technology (AT) meets 3-D printing Please feel free to contact me? at dweisman [at] elephantinthelibrary [dot] com? if you have questions about any of what I've shared or if you can suggest additional UA/Libraries-related topics.

Lauren Magnuson, Systems and Emerging Technologies Librarian at California State University, Northridge as well as a Systems Coordinator for the Private Academic Library Network of Indiana (PALNI) Open-Source Your Library There has never been a better time for libraries interested in open-source software: server space is getting cheaper all the time, open-source communities are friendly, and libraries are working together to hack new services for their patrons. There are certainly challenges to getting started, such as knowing what kind of expertise your library might need, where you can get help, and how to choose open-source projects that will provide the biggest benefit for your library. At California State University, Northridge, we've set up a sandbox server that we use for experimenting with open-source software like Islandora and Guide on the Side. This presentation will discuss how your library can create an experimental sandbox for using open-source software, develop new skills and harness existing talents, and hack your library services for the better.auren will be speaking to us about promoting the effective adoption and use of open-source technology in libraries. *Putting Users First: Managing the LibGuides 2.0 Migration * with John Hernandez and Lauren McKeen, Northwestern University The release of LibGuides 2.0 by Springshare provides a key opportunity to re-evaluate how the library manages its system of research guides and take advantage of new functionality. Beginning in the summer of 2014, Northwestern University Library began its transition to LibGuides 2.0. This presentation will describe our process for managing change in a way that allows us to better integrate the user's perspective in our new and improved service. We will focus on how we gathered user feedback, from both students and staff, and how we plan to continue integrating their perspective moving forward. *On Demand Geeking * with Victoria Vogel, Amherst Public Library At Amherst Public Library we believe in providing technology assistance where it is needed. We tried scheduling computer training classes, but no one, or very few would sign up. So, instead the library advertises one-on-one technology assistance. Patrons can make appointments to meet with a reference specialist for a personalized consultation on their device or laptop. We will sit down with the person and troubleshoot simple computer problems, help them figure out how to use their new Windows 8 laptop, or how to get their downloadable audiobook to play on their device. There have been several instances where we have saved the patron quite a bit of money and aggravation by simply taking the time to listen to their particular problem and figuring out the best way to communicate the solution. One particularly moving encounter involved a patron with sight and hearing impairments who received assistance on using his iPad. Another involved an outreach patron who received a Kindle with his requested ebooks through outreach and was trained on how to use it. The service has been well received and has several repeat customers. *Best Practices for "Embedded" Library Instruction* With Mary Hricko, Kent State University This presentation will review strategies for teaching library instruction for blended/online courses. It will discuss important elements to consider for design and delivery with focus on such models as Quality Matters and Community of Inquiry. This presentation will discuss how to develop online learning objects when online instructors do not want to "embed" library instruction into their courses. Finally, this presentation offer suggestions for the development of interactive student activities to promote information literacy and information fluency. *ACPL Family App* With Kris Lill, Allen County Public Library Smart phones and other digital devices are the fastest growing tools with which our patrons of all ages engage. The rapidly increasing number of children, parents and care-givers using smart phones creates both a need and an opportunity for a mobile application presence that directly addresses this audience, inviting them into the life of the library. The ACPL Family App is designed for parents and caregivers of children of all ages, from birth all the way through elementary school. It?s intended to be used by adults and children together, promoting age?appropriate learning and literacy development.

Message-ID: We have used the open source Xerxes with MetaLib for our Database Library as well as having Primo and Primo Central. Due to Primo Central, we have stopped offering metasearching, figuring that for anyone needing more depth or direct access to a database or service beyond what Primo Central offers, the native interface is the better option. So we are dropping MetaLib and need to find an alternative for our 1200 plus entries in our Database Library. So the question is what are you using for your Database Library? I know many sites have moved to Libguides 2.0 for their Database Library listing, and I've seen some on Serials Solutions or VuFind which would not be options for us. Are there any others of you using something besides these listed above that you would care to share about?
