wondering if anyone else had other best practices or tips on the topic.
How are you making your LibGuides mobile-friendly?
Thanks.

All,
I'm thinking of signing up for this class on Library Juice:

I've never used them before. Anybody have experiences to share? Are
they any good? Also, what kind of time commitment does one of their
classes take?

I'm only in the early stages of doing this myself -- still going through
the IRB process, so I haven't formally started collecting data yet.
It looks like what we'll be doing is logging things into a MySQL
database. Some of that can happen automatically. For example, I've
worked out how to m

overall library performance rather than just the website. But you did

Hope this helps.

Colleagues,
I am on a campus-wide team charged with evaluating and selecting a new
CMS system to replace our centralized Apache/PHP/Includes-based web
server infrastructure.
Our Libraries and University Archives
We had a similar issue on our lab machines, there was a GPO that we
created to fix the issue, I need to look in Group Policy though.
I'd be interested to see that if you can take a moment to dig it up.
And what is so wrong with Windows 8.1? Part of our speed issues were
resolved by reimaging o
Building profiles in a thawspace would be a partial solution; it'd allow
for shorter login times if people go back to the same computer.
It'd be nice if we could pre-generate profiles for everybody, but the
numbers don't work.
Each profile runs to to about 100 MB each;
We have 208 GB free on
Crud, I sent that last without finishing it.
We've been chasing our tails in a circle over the issue for the last
year and a half. Any suggestions?

In our computer labs, we currently use Deep Freeze.[1] It lets us grant
our users full administrative rights, without worrying about malware,
viruses, and such, because any changes the user makes are wiped out when
they log off.
A couple of years ago, the campus as a whole switched to PaperCut
this. If the really do, it'll
probably eat all of my time and then some for the foreseeable future.

P.S. I sent this a couple days ago and wondered why it hadn't shown up
-- only to realize I accidently sent it to j...@code4lib.org rather than
the actual list serv address. Whoops, embarrassing!
4. Admin controls are not very granular. With most aspects of editing a
guide, you either have the option of locking down styles and templates
completely (and oh your colleagues will howl) or allowing everything

your eyeballs will scream). Some of these things could very well be

To digress a bit from LibGuides ...
The biggest problem with accessibility is not technical: it's cultural.
Producing HTML that meets basic accessibility tests is not all THAT
difficult. The harder part is setting up a culture where everyone --

Have you tried assigning the Health Sciences guides to their own groups
and
adding custom header HTML at the group-level (Admin > Groups >
Header/Footer/Tabs/Boxes)? You can't use the new mustache-based
templating
inside the headers, but you can use plain-jane HTML.
An excellent suggestion!
My impression of the LibGuides v2 template system is that it's decent
within strict boundaries. We just launched LibGuides v2 about 6 weeks
ago. We took a look at the templates, and opted not to do anything with
them, because they didn't do what we needed them to.

It also seems to be unmaintained. So your mileage may vary.

I'm not super-familiar with cataloging software, but would MarcEdit do
the trick?
http://marcedit.reeset.net/
I know it's designed explicitly for batch editing of MARC records, I
just don't know whether that extends to authority control stuff.

All those links look very helpful and interesting -- I'll be sure to
study all of them in detail. Thanks!

e recommend any relevant
best practices or standards documents? Or just share what you use.
I'm familiar with the OAIS model for digital archiving, and it seems
well thought-out, but highly abstract. A more practical nuts-and-bolts
guide would be helpful.
Thanks.

subscription fee if you want to receive continued updates, and my
university has not chosen to pay for that at this time. So we won't be
getting any further updates until we can find the money for the yearly
fee.
Hope this helps.
