At long last... We are now accepting proposals for Code4lib 2011.
Code4lib 2011 is a loosely-structured conference for library
technologists to commune, gather/create/share ideas and software, be
inspired, and forge collaborations. The conference will be held

Hello, all-
We're looking at developing a new library website in Drupal, and would like to
create a sensible staffing model for future development and maintenance. We
are a large academic library looking to
Hello, list,
Do you know the Digital Library systems which can search within the documents
(e.g. PDFs) and handle access restrictions (e.g. DRM)?
Has any of you compared these DL systems?
Thanks for any information!

We have a bunch of DVDs that we converted from VHS tapes. And now we
would like to put them on the web, but we need some sort of converter
from the DVD format to a web streaming file. Has anybody done this??
(They are all our own material, so we have no copyright issues to deal
with.)
You can probably use http://handbrake.fr/.

What operating system will you be using to do this work?

do WebM if you want to be HTML5 fancy :) You'll need to rip the DVDs first
though.

It's been awhile since I've done AV stuff, but I recall handbrake being a
pretty simple, but good tool for ripping the DVDs. For streaming, depending
on aspect ratio of the source video, you might want something no larger than
720x480 (though probably smaller since this is more or less DVD
Another vote for Handbrake. Works under OSX and Windows. I used it to convert
DVDs that were originally created from VHS tapes to place on the web. I
recently also ran the end-resulting m4v files through another application
called iGain to adjust audio levels on the produced videos
I'm working with the University of Oxford to look at integrating some library
services into their VLE/Learning Management System (Sakai). One of the services
is something that will give availability for items on a reading list in the VLE
(the Sakai 'Citation Helper'), and I'm looking at the
I believe you are correct. The ils-di stuff is just kind of a framework
starting point, not (yet) a complete end-to-end standards-constrained
solution.
I believe you will find my thoughts and experiences on this issue
helpful. My own circumstances did not involve collection-level
anything,
Not to belabor the thread, but Handbrake is a great tool for this use. I use
it to convert my DVDs to mp4 format for the iPad. The conversion rate is
terribly slow, and on an older machine can be even worse than 1:1. So ideally
you have access to several computers at once, and can just keep
As long as we're belaboring, I'll also endorse Handbrake and add that
conversion rate is very dependent on what machine you're using. If you happen
to have a beefy machine, you can get faster than realtime conversions. My Mac
Pro can do 3x or 4x realtime, for example.

Thanks for posting this Jodi! I've been trying to use this API for a
while and this makes it a lot easier.

I would think DSpace, Fedora, and Eprint. DSpace is fairly easy to implement,
which has embargo support in 1.6
(https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSTEST/Embargo ).
I have an article comparing DSpace and Fedora, but was written 6 years ago.
DSpace has not been changed much, but Fedora is a
Maybe my question is not clear. We are looking for some system which can search
the full text of the deposited documents; these are licensed materials, so
we'll also need access restriction.
We use DSpace, but I don't think DSpace does full text search, e.g. it doesn't

Not sure what you mean by handle access restrictions. Do you mean it

For access restriction, I mean we would like to have certain documents open
only to certain communities (UpLib cannot do that, right?). I don't know how
DRM affects file indexing.
On second thought, I searched for DSpace full text search and found this:

OK, that's not I typically think of when I hear DRM. Access control
is (I think) the way it's usually put.
No, UpLib
DSpace does Full-text search, you need to turn on the configuration file.

How can people tell it searches content in bitstreams (pdfs, word docs)? It
looks like it only searches metadata.

Thanks for the information!
Greenstone has full text search, but I heard that its access control is much
weaker than DSpace. Will it be able to allow certain documents open only to
certain people or certain departments?
Thanks.

Sophie,
It might help some of us on the list to understand what types of access control
you need if you can describe some of the ways that the allowed users (people
and/or departments, to use your examples) will identify themselves? Will they
have already logged into the system with a local
Thanks for the questions!
We don't have a clear idea yet and we are looking for a system now. The basic
idea is that we'll deposit some licensed materials for some department and open
them only to that group. I guess a local account would be ok, of course, if a
campus account can be recognized,

Thanks for the annotations Jodi - this is my first Code4Lib so I'm
kind of playing it by ear ;-)
I think Nov. 19th as a deadline for preconference proposals is fine,
that should give the locals time to set up rooms ahead of December 1,
when registration is set to open.
