Mark,
Oddly enough, we're looking at this kind of thing right now. I also
just got a message from my ILL Librarian that she saw a great conference
presentation on this kinda thing by Scott Bertagnole of Brigham Young
University.
From our perspective, the trick is authentication. We want
to form a
pool of those libraries who have interested libtech workers, so when we
go to our directors/deans/boards, we can point to peers/aspirational
peers and say "see, we're not alone!".
Thanks,
Ian Walls
This sounds remarkably similar in feature-set to the Hours module I
wrote for our CMS (Silverstripe) for our recent website upgrade. We
defined Academic Terms first (name, startdate, enddate), and then could
associate Regular Hours (start time, end time and optional textual
description for
I second Cary's recommendation to go with a CMS. Another one to
consider is SilverStripe. It's highly extensible, though model
administration is done on the PHP level, so be prepared to open up your
favourite text editor and mind your syntax.

I'm the happy owner of an Android Wear device, which looks to do pretty much
everything the Apple Watch does (minus the force sensing). I've been
looking at use cases for this new screen on my wrist, and trying to tune the
notifications I get so they are frequent (it's fun to use this thing!) yet
, but talk to me again in a year, and I should.

If you're using TinyMCE as the WYSIWYG editor, you could configure it so
that particularly offensive HTML tags or attributes are stripped out, reset
or replaced: http://www.tinymce.com/wiki.php/configuration:valid_elements
If you stripped out 'style' from the list of valid attributes in elements,
A great idea! Some other hardware to consider:
Raspberry Pi alternative:
Beagle Bone Black
Further Arduino support:
Gemma (smaller version of FLORA)
Various breakout boards (GPS, GSM, LCD, etc.)
Sensors
Servos
For helping teach/interest younger folks:
Snap Circuits
littleBits

Perhaps Code4Lib could have some form of nominal membership, and the funds
derived from membership dues could be put into an array of scholarships.
Membership wouldn't necessarily have to be a privileged state, but for some

Suma is the most practical and reliable way to do this right now, I think.
I've been investigating using a sensor network, but there are a lot of
limits on the accuracy of PIR, and trip-lasers are low enough and require
enough power that they'd be troublesome to maintain in a busy undergraduate
Android has Barcode Scanner, which can do both scan to text, as well as send
to custom URL (if you've got a RESTful kinda setup you want to GET to).
Not sure if there is a good solution for iOS... but you might be able to
build something in Phonegap (now Cordova), if you're keen.

I'd like to throw in another recommendation on Dokuwiki. Out of the box, I'd
call it about 80% of a solution, as there are some things I've wanted to do
with it that have proven really difficult with existing modules strung
together, but overall, it has the potential to do the job of a CMS

My library is about to launch into a series of quick usability testing
sessions next week for our website. In terms of software, we wanted to do a
screen and audio capture, but the programs we experimented with were not
sufficiently stable or responsive to fit into our workflow. There was far

Perhaps, instead of a policy document (which is inherently rules-based), we
have a statement of belief and a pledge to stand by it (which is more of a
good-faith social contract). Those of us who believe in it could sign it in
some way, perhaps through GitHub This way we'd still have a
The original (white) Square reader is unencrypted, and the output can be
read by an app, but you'll need to a) know how to write an app for the

isn't particularly well documented out there in the world.

Yup, for better or worse, I'll help shepherd this preconference along.
Anyone interested in sharing their knowledge and experience is welcome to
contact me directly, or put something up on the wiki
or is a free for all? Code4lib site is
down
- so I can't see whats on the wiki.
I believe ian.wa...@bywatersolutions.com volunteered to lead it. Have
your engineer contact him(?)
