[CODE4LIB] Google can give you answers, but librarians give you the right answers

Hello, "Google can give you answers, but librarians give you the right answers." Is it me? Or is there something wrong with this statement? I've been hearing statements like this since I've been in the field. Tonight I saw a public library post on FB: Library: "because not everything on the

Hello, Keeping track of keys has been a pain in the past for me. I still believe it's the best method. Now that I'm much more focused and organized it hasn't been a problem. But having a physical copy of the key tucked away will be helpful to me in the future. As far as institutional data, i

Re: [CODE4LIB] Structured Data Markup on library web sites

BTW the OpenLink Structured Data Sniffer (OSDS) is a great little browser plugin to see what structured data is lurking in the html. I believe that it supersedes the OpenLink Data Explorer Extension. ~Richard On 31 March 2016 at 16:15, Brian Kennison

Re: [CODE4LIB] Structured Data Markup on library web sites

As the person who created the patches for Bryn Mawr (Perl and Tcl and SGML--oh my!) back in 2014, their publication process generates static HTML. Any new pages should include RDFa (schema.org), but the legacy pages would have needed to be regenerated. It was fun working with Karen Coyle and

Re: [CODE4LIB] Structured Data Markup on library web sites

As a FYI, as far as I am aware the search engines do not access pages using content negotiation (e.g.. asking for Application/rdf+xml) when looking for structured data such as schema.org in their crawl process. They expect to find it embedded in the HTML as Microdata, RDFa, or increasingly

Re: [CODE4LIB] Structured Data Markup on library web sites

Hi Brian, I've tried the wget command and curl and in both cases I just get the HTML version of the document. I don't think any meaningful content negotiation is happening. It's probably as Karen suspected: they didn't return and embed schema in older reviews. Are you getting something

Re: [CODE4LIB] Internet of Things

I think that librarians are uniquely security minded and focused on protecting the privacy of users (patrons). I see us emerging as privacy and security advocates, which would be timely and quite valuable. On Thursday, March 31, 2016, Ben Cail wrote: > On 03/31/2016

Re: [CODE4LIB] Internet of Things

Yeah, I guess I kind of strayed from the theme, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to kvetch. That said, as long as libraries are IoT-ing, I think it's important for them to model "doing it right". On Thu, Mar 31, 2016 at 10:04 AM, Lisa Rabey wrote: > a. Thank you

Re: [CODE4LIB] Internet of Things

I'm not a technofuturist of any sort, so maybe I'm the wrong person to be commenting on IoT (or maybe I'm exactly the right person)... but stuff in IoT land is going to get utterly horrible before it gets good. I'd argue that it might already be horrible, but it just doesn't have the penetration

For those who were not previously aware of IoT, here’s a primer focused specifically on the library space: https://www.oclc.org/publications/nextspace/articles/issue24/librariesandtheinternetofthings.en.html IMHO this is still a very young concept, and not even fully imagined yet, so there is
