Re: [CODE4LIB] reearch project about feeling stupid in professional communication

*raises hand* my library doesn’t have an API *wah* ;) Until recently-ish (last year or so), I didn't even know what an API was, despite having been subscribed to this group (and mostly in lurker mode) for quite some time now. Thankfully I did a short course through Library Juice Academy

Re: [CODE4LIB] Institutional repositories

Thanks, Stuart. Here's some clarification: (a) is this primarily an internal-facing system or for broadcasting your content to the world? Internal, primarily, though we need to be able to send our public data to OSTI via an XML feed (b) are you expecting users to search and find content on

I apologize for not taking this off list quite yet. The last post had me both laughing and crying, and I believe that you are quite accurate in your characterization of many open-source projects. It reminded me of my freshman “honors” calculus class, which was taught by by a full professor

[CODE4LIB] Preserving Digital Objects with Descriptive Metadata

Hi Code4Lib, We are in the process of designing new workflows for preservation and access of our digital stuff, and I'd like to get a sense of how people understand digital objects in the preservation space. My gut tells me that it might be useful for future digital archivists/archaeologists to

Re: [CODE4LIB] reearch project about feeling stupid in professional communication

Just to clarify: I wasn't talking about this list only. I am particularly interested in lists related to libraries/archives/museums and technology, but I am also interested in hearing other examples, and about how we have interpreted those examples. (Tell me a story about it!) I think that

Re: [CODE4LIB] Institutional repositories

Hi all, I wanted to add a note into this conversation to say that when you are selecting a software solution for your Institutional Repository please remember to also investigate your long-term preservation commitments to the content you will be managing in the IR. Most IR systems are not

Re: [CODE4LIB] Institutional repositories

Hi Ben (and anyone who might be curious), Our current IR was built 10 years ago in-house using C# and SharePoint, and feeds a MySQL database. It's primarily used for documents (technical reports and journal articles authored by ORNL scientists), but is also sometimes used for images,

Re: [CODE4LIB] Institutional repositories

Re: [CODE4LIB] Institutional repositories

Hi Katie, We make use of DSpace at our institution. It works pretty well, though you do need to have some amount of IT support since it is open source. That said a lot of what you go with depends on what is going in. If it is largely text materials then DSpace or Digital Commons are both good

Hello all, My institution is working on a massive overhaul of our current institutional repository. At this point we're still deciding what to choose (DSpace, Invenio, etc.). Since I don't have much experience with IRs and so far all I can do in meetings is wave my arms and crow about metadata
