Re: [CODE4LIB] favorite jQuery plugins for libraries?
Since you mentioned that you were modifying your OPAC, you should check into the Juice Project, a jQuery framework for doing just that. http://code.google.com/p/juice-project/ On Thu, Feb 4, 2010 at 11:36 AM, Ken Irwin kir...@wittenberg.edu wrote: Hi all, I'm on a mission to finally learn some jQuery, and I'm kind of falling in love with it. In particular, I'm finding in it the perfect tool for modifying our OPAC in ways that the catalog vendor never intended, tweaking the DOM to my heart's content. Having worked my way through the basics of the language (I'm using the Learning jQuery book, which is a good introduction but has a nearly-useless index) I'm curious about the vast array of jQuery plugins. There are too many to know, and reading the descriptions it is not immediately apparent to me what they do. So I ask those of you who use jQuery: Do you have favorites, or ones that you find particularly relevant to the kind of work that we do? (The kind of work that we do varies quite a bit, but still...) The only one I've really explored so far is the dataTables plugin, which I will be keeping in mind for future applications. Nicole: your Library Mashups book is next on my list; I'm looking forward to it. joys, Ken

[CODE4LIB] [ANNOUNCEMENT] : December 2009 issue of ITALica, a weblog on libraries and information technology...
Cross-posted; apologies for duplication. * Hello friends, The December 2009 issue of /Information Technology and Libraries/ (ITAL), LITA's peer-reviewed quarterly journal, is online and accessible to all LITA members. Issues older than six months are open to all. ITAL's main page is at http://www.lita.org/ala/mgrps/divs/lita/ital/italinformation.cfm. ITALica http://ital-ica.blogspot.com/, the weblog discussion area for ITAL, has been updated with information about the latest issue. ITALica features supplementary materials not included with the regular print and electronic versions of /Information Technology and Libraries/, such as letters to the editor, updates to articles, and other materials we can't work into the journal. One of the most important features of ITALica is a forum for readers' conversations with our authors, wherein authors host and monitor discussion for a period of time after publication of their articles, so that you then have a chance to interact with them. ITALica offers you the opportunity to discuss with the following ITAL authors their papers in the latest issue: 'Discovery' Focus as Impetus for Organizational Learning / Jennifer L. Fabbi Information Discovery Insights Gained from MultiPAC, a Prototype Library Discovery System / Alex A. Dolski Usability as a Method for Assessing Discovery / Tom Ipri, Michael Yunkin, and Jeanne M. Brown UNLV Special Collections in the Twenty-First Century / Thomas Sommer Smartphones: A Potential Discovery Tool / Wendy Starkweather and Eva Stowers Building Pathfinders with Free Screen Capture Tools / Patrick Griffis Enhancing OPAC Records for Discovery / Patrick Griffis and Cyrus Ford No membership is required to view or participate in ITALica. We hope to see you there! -- Andy Boze Web site Manager, ITAL, for the Editorial Board
