Re: [CODE4LIB] Creating/maintaining metadata for intangible concepts

I don't know what system these collections are in, but isn't this what tagging is for? The idea has died out in libraries, but this seems like a perfect use case for a folksonomy. :-) Laura On Fri, Jan 8, 2016 at 5:21 AM Brian Kennison wrote: > > Has anyone come up with a

[CODE4LIB] Alexander Street Press and Google Analytics

Hey folks, I'm hoping someone else on this list has experienced this and might have some ideas for me. We use Google Analytics on our website, catalog, and our discovery system. GA appends a string of characters to the end of URLs when you leave a site, and while this plays fine with most of our

Re: [CODE4LIB] talking about digital collections vs electronic resources

I agree that articles is incomplete, but I also think sometimes we shoot ourselves in the feet trying to be totally comprehensive in how we describe things, and end up confusing people. What students think they want are articles so we should use that term as a pointer to our databases. Good

[CODE4LIB] software to limit computer login time

Hey folks, I'm starting to investigate software that we could install on a few of our public workstations that would limit the length of time a user could be logged in. This would be done to establish a few computers as print only or brief use only computers. I've seen this in other libraries, but

Well, I am in the same boat as you and my thought was, although it might be overkill, it might also be a good, small scale opportunity to experiment with something new and learn a new technology. Sometimes we have to take those learning opportunities where we can get them. Laura Sent from my

Re: [CODE4LIB] College Question!

Hi Riley, Congrats on starting college in the fall! If you like to learn, college is pretty much the best place ever. I second others in not necessarily recommending a bachelors in library/ information science. I would actually suggest computer science if you're at all skilled with math and
