[CODE4LIB] Software to track website changes?
Does anyone have a good way to track requests to make changes to your website(s)? I would like to be able to put in requests and be able to track if they are done and when, so there's fewer emails flying about.

[CODE4LIB] Why not Sharepoint?
Greetings list, I'm in the midst of establishing a corporate archive/RM program and soon will need to make a convincing case for why Sharepoint's Document Library/Search Centre is not a viable option for managing our archival digital objects and their associated descriptions. Does anyone have any personal experience using Sharepoint for archival purposes, or know of any articles/blogs discussing it's suitability (or lack thereof) for this type of work? I've always heard don't use Sharepoint but am having a hard time finding evidence that I can use to support my case for a 3rd party solution. Any help is much appreciated!

Re: [CODE4LIB] Why not Sharepoint?
Hi Ned, The biggest case for SP is boiled down to 2 things in my mind. 1) its terrible at preservation. If you are just using it as a digital asset mgmt system its fine, but if you need the preservation component go with something else. 2) SP is decent at doing everything, but is not good at any 1 thing. Its a jack of all trades, master of none. If you want to do 1 thing really well find something else. But, if you need something that does everything, its almost your only option. There are probably plenty of other arguments, but those 2 usually sum up SP in the discussions I have with people.

If you are just using it as a digital asset mgmt system its fine, but if you need the preservation component go with something else. I've never used Sharepoint, but really it boils down to coming up with a list of requirements for a digital preservation storage system: - It must have an audit log of who did what to what when - It must do fixity checking of digital assets - At minimum, it must tell you when a fixity check fails - It really should be able to recover from fixity check failures when an object is read - Ideally it should discover these *before* an object is accessed, recover, and notify someone - It must support rich enough metadata for your objects - It must meet your preservation needs (N copies distributed over X distance within Y hours) - It must be scalable to handle anticipated future growth. I'm sure there are more, I haven't had much coffee yet this morning so I'm missing some. And honestly, you have to scale your requirements to what your specific needs are. *Only* then can you evaluate solutions. If you've got a list of requirements, you can then ask I need this. How well does SP (or any other possible solution) meet this need? -- Thomas L.

Re: [CODE4LIB] OAI Crosswalk XSLT
2014-07-11 16:38 GMT+02:00 Matthew Sherman matt.r.sher...@gmail.com: have a question for those of you who have worked with OAI-PMH. I am currently editing our DSpace OAI crosswalk to include a few custom metadata field that exist in our repository for publication information and port them into a more standard format. The problem I am running into is the select statements they use are not the typical XPath statements I am used to. For example Hi, element1/element2 - means, that element2 is child of element1 element[@name='type'] - matches element name=type. @name is shortcut for the name attribute of the element xsl:for-each - is a for each loop. The select part is an xpath expression, and what it matches will be accessed by the xsl:value-of select=. /. All in all, the whole loop put every element into the dc:type tag.

Hey Elizabeth, I know my library's systems department uses The Trac project: http://trac.edgewall.org/, which lets them do exactly what you're asking about. I can't remember how easy/difficult the installation process is, but using it is easy for almost anyone.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Software to track website changes?
We (Web Team at NCSU Libraries) started using GitHub's issue queue to track bugs and requests. I think it's catching on. It's free, it's popular (good support), lets you assign people, lets you apply labels and milestones for categorizing, lets you add to the issue via email or web interface, lets you close an issue via git commit... emoji. It's pretty nice. One problem is tracking issues that aren't necessarily related to the code in the repo. That might be confusing, we're still working through that. -Charlie On Fri, Jul 11, 2014 at 10:48 AM, Andrew Shuping ashup...@gmail.com wrote: Hey Elizabeth, I know my library's systems department uses The Trac project: http://trac.edgewall.org/, which lets them do exactly what you're asking about.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Software to track website changes?
Depending on your service model, I suggest either a project management system like Unfuddle (hosted) or Redmine (installed, but available hosted), or a ticket system like Request Tracker (installed) or Zendesk (hosted). Ticket systems are best where there is a simple model of request and service. Tickets can be assigned internally, but most systems only support a single requestor. In other words, they don't support larger conversations. Project management software is best when there are multiple participants on both sides and you want to memorialize everything. We use Unfuddle and Jira project management systems. We support organizations using Pivotal Tracker, an agile-specific system, and we have also built Drupal integration with Kayako, a sophisticated ticketing system. Many organizations use Basecamp, which is a more free-form system. It didn't work for us. There are hundreds, if not thousands of systems available. I have listed the URLs fo the ones I mention below.

Our library is looking into removing the cash register at the circ desk and collect all library fines in addition to services charges (such as ILL fees for corporate members or Conference room charges for non-campus users). So we need a solution that will let us customize the fee categories, amounts, etc. with the least effort on us to set it up. What did you mean by a pre-packaged solution?? Thanks!

Re: [CODE4LIB] Software to track website changes?
HI Elizabeth, We've had great success (some might say too much!) with Redmine, installed locally (we migrated from Trac). We're able to easily involve our colleagues in issue discussions (collaboration is very important to us). It can integrate with email (but maybe you don't want that?), and we've integrated it with our campus single sign-on. It can be used for light project management issue tracking, or for support requests (which sounds more like what you're wanting). We have non-developers who have requested Redmine projects to track their projects, so it's useful beyond just tracking website changes. We also use the GitHub issue tracker for our one major open-source project, and it's great except when it's not flexible enough for what we want to do.

If you are just using it as a digital asset mgmt system its fine, but if you need the preservation component go with something else. I've never used Sharepoint, but really it boils down to coming up with a list of requirements for a digital preservation storage system: - It must have an audit log of who did what to what when - It must do fixity checking of digital assets - At minimum, it must tell you when a fixity check fails - It really should be able to recover from fixity check failures when an object is read - Ideally it should discover these *before* an object is accessed, recover, and notify someone - It must support rich enough metadata for your objects - It must meet your preservation needs (N copies distributed over X distance within Y hours) - It must be scalable to handle anticipated future growth. I'm sure there are more, I haven't had much coffee yet this morning so I'm missing some. And honestly, you have to scale your requirements to what your specific needs are. *Only* then can you evaluate solutions. If you've got a list of requirements, you can then ask I need this. How well does SP (or any other possible solution) meet this need? So it doesn't look like you're just coming up with cases that Sharepoint doesn't do, you might consider something like the TRAC checklist: 2007 version, from CRL: http://www.crl.edu/sites/default/files/attachments/pages/trac_0.pdf 2011 update from CCSDS: http://public.ccsds.org/publications/archive/652x0m1.pdf The 2011 update should mirror what's in ISO 16363.

Re: [CODE4LIB] online payment system for libraries?
Bohyun, Apologies for the ambiguity. I didn't know if you were restricted to a specific CMS or platform already, or if you'd have the ability/freedom to extend development of a payment gateway yourself. For example, if you were using WordPress, and were already locked in to Mijireh, or needed a solution to fit some existing proprietary need. It doesn't sound like that's the case. You will still need an SSL certificate on the domain you plan to run charges through - but you can use non-SSL for testing purposes. I've found the documentation fairly easy to navigate, but I've been implementing their solutions for a couple of years now, and perhaps familiar with how they've set things up. Just a thought - if you're replacing a cash register at the front desk, you could also look into Square (https://square.com). I think they're giving that little square credit card swipey-thingy away now for free after successful registration/activation. You could just pickup an inexpensive Android Tablet or find a used iPod Touch to handle transactions. They don't offer an embedded API for use in websites - yet. I hope that helps! .m On Fri, Jul 11, 2014 at 8:26 AM, Kim, Bohyun b...@hshsl.umaryland.edu wrote: Thanks everyone for more online payment system/service options!

Re: [CODE4LIB] Software to track website changes?
I've worked with both JIRA and Redmine. For a small team, I think Redmine is a little easier to get going with (and free), but JIRA is very customizable (but can take a decent amount of initial time setting it up). Both have the capability of grabbing issues via email, so in both cases when I worked with them, staff could fill out a form (on the intranet), which would send information formatted a certain way (based on the form inputs) so that they are automatically added to the relevant project and such.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Software to track website changes?
Super suggestions in this thread. For the sake of transparency we do a few things: 1. Staff can report problems or make feature requests through a ticketing system we built that's baked into our WordPress network. 2. I personally use Trello for our scrum, with literally the scrum for Trello FF/Chrome add-ons and a burn-down chart. It's public if you're looking for a little inspiration. https://trello.com/b/5wflMskO/sherman-library 3. We use issues in Github. This is helpful for our staff because the commit includes the issue number so others can see exactly what's been fixed, when, and how.

I've worked with both JIRA and Redmine. For a small team, I think Redmine is a little easier to get going with (and free), but JIRA is very customizable (but can take a decent amount of initial time setting it up). Both have the capability of grabbing issues via email, so in both cases when I worked with them, staff could fill out a form (on the intranet), which would send information formatted a certain way (based on the form inputs) so that they are automatically added to the relevant project and such. Not sure about the scheduling part. I know you can set a due date, which could serve as a reminder.

And just because I'm drinking too much coffee... If you're using an XSLT 2.0 processor for this you can do some things with variables that might make things a little easier; e.g. xsl:variable name=vJournalTitle select=normalize-space(dcvalue[@qualifier='name'])/ xsl:variable name=vJournalVol select=normalize-space(dcvalue[@qualifier='volume'])/ xsl:variable name=vJournalIssue select=normalize-space(dcvalue[@qualifier='issue'])/ You can call those variables in a concat() function and you won't have to deal with wonky spacing in your output. There are almost certainly a bunch of much better ways to do this - I'll never be anything better than an XSLT apprentice - but it might be a good starting point.

[CODE4LIB] Private Repos WAS: [CODE4LIB] Software to track website changes?
Maybe we could share our decisions behind whether we keep our github/bitbucket repositories public or private. For the most part, I keep web and other non-sensitive code completely public. While there's a little red tape around releasing themes we've built as, ah, packages, intrepid diggers would find most of it on Github. Obviously all of our database connections / patron apis aren't a part of that, but I think largely the health [and independence] of #libweb stuff relies on sharing and good-natured ripping off.

Re: [CODE4LIB] online payment system for libraries?
Hi Mark, OIC. I understand now. We are not using a CMS right now but actually have been asked to move our library website into Terminal 4 CMS selected by the university media office by the end of this October. (Yup, another proprietary CMS one hears about first time.) So that may be a concern in this case. I see that Stripe has a plugin for WP and we have several WP sites so that may be a fast option for us as well. Thanks for mentioning Square. I think the circ desk folks at mpow does not want to handle payment at all and move all payment to online. But I will let them know about Square as an option. OK if I email you with questions if I run into any issue while investigating Stripe?

For example, if you were using WordPress, and were already locked in to Mijireh, or needed a solution to fit some existing proprietary need. It doesn't sound like that's the case. You will still need an SSL certificate on the domain you plan to run charges through - but you can use non-SSL for testing purposes. I've found the documentation fairly easy to navigate, but I've been implementing their solutions for a couple of years now, and perhaps familiar with how they've set things up. Just a thought - if you're replacing a cash register at the front desk, you could also look into Square (https://square.com). I think they're giving that little square credit card swipey-thingy away now for free after successful registration/activation. You could just pickup an inexpensive Android Tablet or find a used iPod Touch to handle transactions. They don't offer an embedded API for use in websites - yet. I hope that helps! .m On Fri, Jul 11, 2014 at 8:26 AM, Kim, Bohyun b...@hshsl.umaryland.edu wrote: Thanks everyone for more online payment system/service options! Mark, thanks for mentioning about the PCI/DSS compliance in relation to this. This is really good to know. Stripe looks promising to me. Our library is looking into removing the cash register at the circ desk and collect all library fines in addition to services charges (such as ILL fees for corporate members or Conference room charges for non-campus users). So we need a solution that will let us customize the fee categories, amounts, etc. with the least effort on us to set it up. What did you mean by a pre-packaged solution?? Thanks!

They offer some great hooks to get done anything I've ever wanted to do, and the payment processing is all done on Stripe's servers - no PCI/DSS compliance issues to worry about! I've implemented instances in PHP, C# and Python, and a very basic implementation in Node.JS - I know they have examples in lots of other languages as well. I couldn't tell from your question if you were looking for a pre-packaged solution, or something you could develop/work with in-house. .m On 7/10/14, 12:53 PM, Elizabeth Leonard elizabeth.leon...@shu.edu wrote: Our campus is looking at Touchnet for all online payments (Bursar, library, etc.) I haven't fully implemented yet, but it looks like it will be adequate.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Private Repos WAS: [CODE4LIB] Software to track website changes?
Around a year ago we drafted and implemented an open source policy (http://osulibrary.oregonstate.edu/ets/guidelines) that says our default stance is public repositories, both for projects in active development and those we consider stable or orphaned. We¹re still at the beginning of the process, so we still occasionally have some private repositories for those projects with seriously specific scope or projects which we haven¹t invested the time into to make public (via using environment variables for passwords and such.) However, if you¹d like to see some of what we¹ve published feel free to check us out - http://github.com/osulp .

For the most part, I keep web and other non-sensitive code completely public. While there's a little red tape around releasing themes we've built as, ah, packages, intrepid diggers would find most of it on Github. Obviously all of our database connections / patron apis aren't a part of that, but I think largely the health [and independence] of #libweb stuff relies on sharing and good-natured ripping off. Even if the code is awful, I'm not too concerned with private repos.

Github's education discounts looked to me like they were aimed specifically at teaching rather than being free for any use by an educational institution when I looked at them, but I don't remember if there was specific language that gave me that impression or just vague use github in the classroom! marketing. I know Jira does actually distinguish between use at an educational institution and classroom use in their discounted vs. free policy. If I could get free Travis for Private Repos along with free Github I'd switch in a second; I don't know that the improved issue tracker alone would be worth the effort for me. -- Geoffrey Spear Metadata Manager Health Sciences Library System University of Pittsburgh
Re: [CODE4LIB] Software to track website changes?
It likely helped that we already had a variety of open source projects on github, and I told them our primary impetus for private repositories was to get off of gitlab and centralize everything with them.

[CODE4LIB] Call for Student/Recent Graduate Proposals
Call for Student and Recent Graduate Proposals Digital Liaisons: Building Communities and Empowering Culture through Digital Libraries SUBMISSION DEADLINE: Friday, September 19, 2014 ACCEPTANCE NOTIFICATION: Monday, September 29, 2014 The Special Interest Group for Digital Libraries (http://www.asis.org/sig/sigdl) of the Association for Information Science Technology (ASIST) is seeking proposals from students and recently graduated professionals (having graduated May 2012 or later) for a student panel at the ASIST 2014 Annual Meeting in Seattle on October 31 – November 4, 2014. This session is intended to provide students and recent graduates with an opportunity to present their work during the ASIST annual conference on areas of interest relevant to information and knowledge management. The session will also serve as a social meeting point to facilitate networking between students, faculty, and professionals. Note: Presenters do not have to attend the conference in order to qualify. To accommodate individuals who cannot attend the conference, we are accepting pre-made video presentations and mailed-in posters. All abstracts, presentation media, and posters will be published on the SIG DL website after the conference. Topics Poster and lightning talk presentation proposals should focus on innovative projects that explore digital libraries through topics concerning community and/or culture, in keeping with this year’s ASIST annual meeting theme. Proposals may include, but are not limited to, past research, case studies, and current projects on areas such as social network analysis, linked data, open access and new publishing models, crowdsourcing, big data, digital humanities, citizen science, or other projects falling within the panel’s theme. (The list is meant to be illustrative, not prescriptive.) Who is Eligible? Submissions can be made as a single author or a group of authors, including collaborations between students or recent graduates from different institutions. Student ASIST chapters are particularly encouraged to submit a poster as a group. Authors do NOT need to be members of ASIST. However, they must pay for the conference registration fee and related expenses if attending in person. Students and recent graduates are encouraged to consult faculty and professional mentors but should not allow them to be a significant contributor to the content. All research is expected to be purely the students' or recent graduates' work and could include coursework, internship experiences, work related experience, and independent interests, including theses or other capstone projects. Selection Criteria Up to 10 posters and 5 lightning talk proposals will be accepted for the panel session. Poster submissions must include an abstract of no less than 250 words and a one page storyboard or mockup of the poster. Lightning talk submissions must include a two page paper using the ASIST short paper template available at https://www.asis.org/asist2014/AM14ProceedingsFormat.pdf. Students should indicate whether they will be present at the conference and which format they plan to present. Both posters and lightning talk proposals will be selected based on the following criteria: relevance of topics to the Digital Liaisons session and SIG DL mission, feasibility of presentation within a compressed format, and originality of research. Awards The following awards will be given at the session. ● $300 for the best paper ● $150 for the best poster ● $100 for honorable mention paper ● $100 for honorable mention poster Submission and Deadline Authors are invited to submit proposals by filling out a form at http://tinyurl.com/k85n3ad anytime until 11:59 pm EST, September 19, 2014. Selections will be made by a panel of judges. If you have any questions, please email Holley Long at holley.l...@colorado.edu.
