I am actually quite confused about why the Code4Lib community is acting so 
annoyed by this topic. I am totally ignorant of the background here. Is the 
frustration with the topic itself or with this person?

Yes, props to ALA about recognizing Dewey.

You don’t have to agree with my petition or think of it as useful.

In the spirit of talking strategies, what do you see as effective strategies 
for the library profession making sexual harassment awareness a top priority?

Re: [CODE4LIB] Internal Statistics Dashboard Recommendations?

[Forrest, Stuart]

We don't have a public facing Dashboard only an internal staff one. For this I 
use the Plotly Dash open source libraries that integrate with python or R. My 
preference is python and they have some pretty good components.

(Layout is a perpetual headache. If anyone can think of a way to make the 
elements rearrange themselves according to how big they are and how much space 
is available, using javascript, I'd be very happy. My attempts so far have been 
worse than just not. Simply lining them all up grid-style doesn't help because 
they're variable heights.)

There are some tweaks to be made and text to be added, but this is our public
dashboard:

https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fdashboard.library.yorku.ca%2f=E,1,9qCkoe6hXUgqHi5oGtT62Qw0TXLDKdpHeAK5njVTds6j1pwQTuqKfJuBi7gEXfaVkY4s61h6m5gPGi7a3o2tZaG66i4BjTa6RxnF1oDb_63ZwKeal4pUTPx4Hmpc=1

It's done in R with Shiny, and the code is here:

Anyone who knows some R and some web development will find Shiny very nice to 
work with. I really like it.

[CODE4LIB] ReadingRecord

[Forrest, Stuart]

Hi

Does anyone use or has used ReadingRecord for summer reading? I am trying to 
install it locally but have run into a problem and hoping someone can help.

The patron registration part works well but when I try to login to the staff 
side nothing happens. The login fields disappear and that is all.

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks

I don’t think they are saying that, I think they just want to make a statement

Is it really necessary for this list to affirm that it stands by diversity?  I
