View the conference program at: http://onlinenorthwest.org/2015-program/ Mita Williams , User Experience Librarian at the University of Windsor, will start off the day with her keynote presentation: *Teach for America. Code for America. Librarianing for America.* The motto for Code for America is "a new kind of public service". The motto of CrisisCommons is "we help connect people to help those in need". This talk is not going to dwell on the matter that librarians lack a good word - much less an official motto ? to describe the work we do. Instead, a case will be made for a new program to be designed to get more librarians working within more organizations in more communities. This year?s attendees will also be eligible to win exciting *door prizes* including: label makers, laptop gear, media players, and a Nook GlowLight E-Reader! ============================ To unsubscribe: http://bit.ly/web4lib Web4Lib Web Site: http://web4lib.org/ 2015-02-02 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

JHOVE (JSTOR/Harvard Object Validation Environment) provides functions to perform format-specific identification, validation, and characterisation of digital objects. It was originally developed by Harvard Library and JSTOR in 2003. OPF will be working with Portico, a member organisation, to carry out the transfer. The JHOVE project, comprising source code and documentation, will move to the OPF's software portfolio ( http://openpreservation.org/technology/products/) which will provide a sustainable home. OPF will put continuous integration in place with testing and reporting in line with the OPF Software Maturity Model ( http://openpreservation.org/technology/principles/software-maturity/). This will facilitate development and release of patches and new modules. Portico will be contributing code improvements that they currently use internally as part of this process. "The findings from our member survey show that JHOVE is the most important digital preservation tool to our members," explains Ed Fay, Executive Director of OPF. "Our adoption of JHOVE is a practical example of our strategic priority to build confidence in currently available tools and approaches." OPF will be consulting with its members and the community in the coming months to gather requirements and roadmap future development to ensure that JHOVE is robust and actively maintained. "We are happy to see JHOVE transition to a community-supported model through the OPF," says Andrea Goethals, Manager of Digital Preservation and Repository Services at Harvard Library. "We think that this is an important step towards sustaining the core digital preservation tools many of our organisations have come to rely on." "Portico is very happy to see JHOVE formally established, with JHOVE2, within a sustainable framework for community source," says Sheila Morrissey, Senior Researcher at Portico. "We look forward to sharing the enhancements and extensions we have developed with JHOVE's very extensive community of practice and use." "We're very pleased to see this transfer of stewardship responsibility for JHOVE to the OPF," says Stephen Abrams, Associate Director of the University of California Curation Center at the California Digital Library. "It will ensure the continuity of maintenance, enhancement, and availability between the original JHOVE system and its successor JHOVE2, both key infrastructural components in wide use throughout the digital library community." "I'm very glad to see that JHOVE, which I supported for years, will continue to be in good hands." comments Gary McGath, original developer and active maintainer of JHOVE. JHOVE2 (https://github.com/opf-labs/jhove2) , an open source digital preservation tool that carries out format-aware characterisation of digital objects, has already been moved to opf-labs in the OPF's GitHub portfolio ( https://github.com/openpreserve) . As with JHOVE, OPF will be stewarding the software in line with its maturity model and coordinating roadmapping and future development activities. ** About ------------------------------------------------------------ Harvard Library http://library.harvard.edu/ Portico http://www.portico.org/digital-preservation/ University of California Curation Center http://www.cdlib.org/uc3/ Gary McGath http://www.garymcgath.com/ Open Preservation Foundation http://openpreservation.org/ Kind Regards, -- Becky McGuinness | Community Manager @openpreserve | Skype: becky.mcguinness1 *Open Preservation Foundation* *http://openpreservation.org/ * ============================ To unsubscribe: http://bit.ly/web4lib Web4Lib Web Site: http://web4lib.org/ 2015-02-03 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This essay offers some summary information on the 1,507 added journals and some overall notes on the full DOAJ set--including some new and replacement tables (there may be errors in tables 2.66 b and c and 2.67 b and c in earlier issues). The essay also offers some details on "N" (not OA) journals, notes on very small journals, a few comments on opportunism, idealism and initiative--and the URLs for two spreadsheets offering anonymized versions of the DOAJ and Beall data. (Note that the DOAJ spreadsheet has just been changed to shift 580 "B" journals there because of $1,000-or-more APCs to a new "A$" subgrade, since the high APC was the only issue with them. The summary text in this issue has NOT been changed to reflect this refinement; the Library Technology Reports issue will reflect the change.) The two spreadsheeets are on figshare and licensed with the Creative Commons "BY" license, making them available for any use as long as attribution is provided. Each spreadsheet includes a data key as a second page. Words: Books, E and P, 2014 pp. 10-24 Bringing discussions of ebooks vs. (or and) pbooks up to date from the January 2014 essay. In most cases, "and" is now the prevailing attitude as ebook sales appear to have plateaued--although of course there are still those who say print books will die Because Digital and now, oddly, a few who say ebooks will die or are dead (which I regard as equally unlikely). ============================ To unsubscribe: http://bit.ly/web4lib Web4Lib Web Site: http://web4lib.org/ 2015-02-03 From announce at DUBLINCORE.NET Tue Feb 3 15:22:01 2015 From: announce at DUBLINCORE.NET (DCMI Announce) Date: Tue, 3 Feb 2015 12:22:01 -0800 Subject: DC-2015 Call for Participation - 2nd notice, S=?UTF-8?Q?=C3=A3o_?=Paulo, Brazil Message-ID: *Apologies for cross-posting* Metadata and Ubiquitous Access to Culture, Science and Digital Humanities *DCMI 20th Anniversary International Conference & Annual Meeting* *September 1-5, 2015 ? S?o Paulo, Brazil* ================= *Conference Website:* http://purl.org/dcevents/dc-2015 *Call for Participation:* http://purl.org/dcevents/dc-2015/cfp *Track Policies:* http://dcevents.dublincore.org/index.php/IntConf/dc-2015/schedConf/trackPolicies ================= *Abstract:* The need for structured metadata to support ubiquitous access across the Web to the treasure troves of resources spanning cultures, in science, and in the digital humanities is now common knowledge among information systems designers and implementers. Structured metadata expressed through languages of description make it possible for us to 'speak' about the contents of our treasure troves. But, like all human languages, our languages of description both enable and isolate. The push to break out of the isolation of the metadata silos in which professionals inevitably design, implement and manage metadata in order to discover the intersections of our treasure troves drives much of today's discourse and emerging practice in metadata. The emergence of massively integrated Web presences such as Europeana and the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) along with the reshaping of public access globally through mechanisms such as Linked Data and schema.org drive our conversations, our excitement, and our fears. *IMPORTANT DATES:* *Technical Program Deadlines:* *Peer-Reviewed Papers, Project Reports & Posters* --*Submission Deadline:* 28 March 2015 --*Author Notification:* 23 June 2015 --*Final Copy:* 28 July 2015 *Professional Program Deadlines * *Special & Panel Sessions* --*Proposal Deadline:* 28 March 2015 --*Author Notification: *25 April 2015 *Best Practice Posters & Demonstrations* --*Submission Deadline:* 14 July 2015 --*Author Notification:* Ongoing ================= *Join us in S?o Paulo, Brazil* Each of the past 20 years, the metadata community has gathered for DCMI's conference and annual meeting. The work agenda of the DCMI community is broad and inclusive of all aspects of innovation in metadata design, implementation and best practices. While the work of the Initiative progresses throughout the year, the annual meeting and conference provide the opportunity for DCMI "citizens" as well as newcomers, students, apprentices, and early career professionals to gather face-to-face to share experiences and knowledge. In addition, the gathering provides public- and private-sector initiatives beyond DCMI that are doing significant metadata work to come together to compare notes and cast a broader light into their particular metadata work silos. Through such a gathering of the metadata communities, DCMI advances its "first goal" of promoting metadata interoperability and harmonization. This year, the annual meeting and conference are being hosted by the Universidade Estadual Paulista--S?o Paulo State University (UNESP) and held in S?o Paulo, Brazil. ================= *CONFERENCE ORGANIZERS:* --Universidade Estadual Paulista--S?o Paulo State University (UNESP) --Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI) ================= *CONFERENCE CHAIRS:* --Pl?cida Santos, Professor Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP), Brazil --Silvana Borsetti Gregorio Vidotti, Professor Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP), Brazil --Fl?via Maria Bastos, CGB Coordinator General Coordination of Libraries Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP), Brazil --Mariana Curado Malta CEISE/ISCAP - Polytechnic of Oporto, Portugal Algoritmi Center - University of Minho, Portugal ============================ To unsubscribe: http://bit.ly/web4lib Web4Lib Web Site: http://web4lib.org/ 2015-02-03 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I would like to host a comic con at our library this year as a special activity related to the summer reading club theme. I would envision having this type of make your own super hero outfit at this event. I would have to modify the part where they used a 3D printer to print medallions related to their super powers.

She also likes to have visuals on hand when she presents at the department meetings.* *Todd has been asked to create a library guide for patrons to use when librarians are not available. He also is responsible for making the informational signage for general patrons.* *Youth Service Librarian, Sandy has a large group of teens who rely on blogs to gather their information about new books, craft programs, and clubs. Her job is also to create wall displays and other art for the teen corner.* *You have decided on a general theme for your Summer Reading Program but you want to carry the idea over to announcements, flyers, posters, bookmark incentives, and the bulletin board.* Librarians are often asked to communicate or *speak* a visual language. The *Graphic Design for Librarians *class gives you the rules and tools for making that challenge not only possible but fun. The four week class gives you an opportunity to network and share ideas with others who are actively engaged in what you are doing. No prior art experience is needed or required to learn simple guidelines for making those graphic design tasks easier and more effective-no matter the project. Ignite your creative spark while learning basic skills needed to produce practical projects with the hardware and software you have already. *What are librarians who have taken the workshops saying about the class?* *I found the section on fonts particularly informative. . .The information on fonts was most helpful. * *It really does help to see how others lay things out and what the possibilities are not just for posters, but for calendars, business cards, letters, and brochures. All of these are things that I have been called on to create at some point or another. * *The links to the templates and the link to the free graphic design software was particularly helpful.* *Overall, the visual examples and the links to resources have been the most helpful to me. The exercise of creating a flyer from scratch was eye-opening and enjoyable. . .* *The video clips were clear and informative.* *I have enjoyed the class and have learned quite a bit.* *I have already started using what I learned in creating at least a 1/2 doz new flyers for our programs during the last few weeks! What is so satisfying is that people are noticing that the flyers are a lot more interesting to look at and I have gotten several compliments on them (yeah!) *Learn art fundamentals that will help you create effective design projects. Through illustrated lectures, hands-on assignments, and discussion groups you will explore basic principle and design elements, attention grabbers, and tips for creating the layout, font, and content techniques you want to project. Week 1-The first week you will network with others and share your most successful projects. You will also learn how to ?read? art designs by exploring the elements of composition and principles of design. Selecting materials, supplies, and software that you may want or need will be presented. The variety of projects that a librarian may want to create using graphic design techniques will be addressed. Week 2-The second week will combine the techniques that you learned in the first class and then merge them with more tools for creating effective designs. Specific projects such as posters, flyers, signage, displays, and other basic graphic design tasks will be created and critiqued. The importance of *Font* will be included in this second class. Week 3-We will look at the rules of *Layout *and *White Space* in Week 3. Brochures, newsletters, guidebooks, and other more challenging projects will be analyzed and reviewed. Week 4-Content and themes come together in Week 4 as we explore electronic design. We will look at the good and the ugly as we learn how to create aesthetically pleasing websites, blogs, and other internet project designs. http://www.artmuseums.com/graphicdesign.htm ============================ To unsubscribe: http://bit.ly/web4lib Web4Lib Web Site: http://web4lib.org/ 2015-02-13 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Through such a gathering of the metadata communities of practice, DCMI advances its "first goal" of promoting metadata interoperability and harmonization across the metadata ecosystem. *Submission & Session Languages* Proposals for Professional Program tracks may be in *Portuguese* or *English*.
