[CODE4LIB] Call for proposals to Code4Lib Journal
Call for Papers (and apologies for cross-posting): Do you want to expand on your Code4Lib conference presentation in written form? Did the recent Code4Lib conference give you ideas or renewed enthusiasm for a project that you would like to share with the Code4Lib Community. Why not submit a proposal to the Code4Lib journal? The Code4Lib Journal (C4LJ) exists to foster community and share information among those interested in the intersection of libraries, technology, and the future. The Code4Lib Journal is now accepting proposals for publication in its 10th issue. Don't miss out on this opportunity to share your ideas and experiences. To be included in the 10th issue, which is scheduled for publication in late June 2010, please submit articles, abstracts, or proposals at http://journal.code4lib.org/submit-proposal or to c4lj-artic...@googlegroups.com by Friday, March 20, 2010. When submitting, please include the title or subject of the proposal in the subject line of the email message. C4LJ encourages creativity and flexibility, and the editors welcome submissions across a broad variety of topics that support the mission of the journal. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: * Practical applications of library technology (both actual and hypothetical) * Technology projects (failed, successful, or proposed), including how they were done and challenges faced * Case studies * Best practices * Reviews * Comparisons of third party software or libraries * Analyses of library metadata for use with technology * Project management and communication within the library environment * Assessment and user studies C4LJ strives to promote professional communication by minimizing the barriers to publication. While articles should be of a high quality, they need not follow any formal structure. Writers should aim for the middle ground between blog posts and articles in traditional refereed journals. Where appropriate, we encourage authors to submit code samples, algorithms, and pseudo-code. For more information, visit C4LJ's Article Guidelines or browse articles from the first 8 issues published on our website: http://journal.code4lib.org You want to share. Your colleagues want to hear about it. We're looking for proposals. Go for it! Sincerely, Edward M. Corrado Coordinating Editor, Issue 10 Code4Lib Journal
Re: [CODE4LIB] Code4Lib 2011 Proposals
Yes, a group of us at the University of British Columbia and Simon Fraser University in sushi-ski-beach-beer-MichaelBuble-soaked Vancouver, BC are intending on submitting a proposal to host. More specifically, I wonder what thoughts people have about how a VanC4L2011 might affect / be affected by the C4L North proposal, and Eric's comment that C4L was originally envisioned as an Access USA. There seems to be a strong contingent on both sides of the 49th parallel these days. Having worked for UBC and SFU for a number of years (though, from Toronto), I'll add my +1 to Vancouver for a 2011 venue. But I'm still pushing for Kingston in May as well. MJ

MJ I don't think it should effect the C4L North proposal at all . I see these regional thinks as separate events. If it would effect any, I think the C$L Northwest in Portland would be effected the most - but either way, the regional groups should continue to move forward. C4L being held in Canada may effect voting, I don't know. We'll have to see what people vote and what other options appear. I do think there is something to C4L being south of the border and C4L being north but now that C4L is established and is not really the same as Access (and is in a different time frame) maybe that distinction isn't as important as it once was. Having recently been to Vancouver, I can tell you I'm more concerned about costs then it being in Canada (although I guess it being in Canada is related to the costs to some degree). Edward

As someone who has done a lot of US-Vancouver travel, here's a protip: Fly into Sea-Tac and then take the Quick Shuttle (http://www.quickcoach.com/) across the border ($40ish USD). You won't get dinged on airport international travel fees and you will have a lot more flight options. Just in case the international travel costs were going to factor in to anyone's attendance... -Sean On Mar 2, 2010, at 11:14 AM, MJ Suhonos wrote: Yes, a group of us at the University of British Columbia and Simon Fraser University in sushi-ski-beach-beer-MichaelBuble-soaked Vancouver, BC are intending on submitting a proposal to host.

[CODE4LIB] CoverGuess
Code4Libers may be interested in something I just released on LibraryThing. It's called CoverGuess, and it's a sort of like Google Labeler for book covers. It turns tagging covers into a competitive game. As with much of what we do, the data will be released as Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial. So, with luck and a lot of LibraryThing community involvement, we may finally have a solution for the eternal question: Have you got that book, the one that's blue and I think it has a girl on it?

Re: [CODE4LIB] C4L10 Mobile Web App Design slides
Playing around with the Android emulator, it looks great in regards to performance testing (it runs even slower than my Droid). Thanks for pointing this out. Have you had any luck sending multi-touch interactions to the Android emulator? Rapid pinch-to-zoom redraws have been the source of a lot of problems for us, and I know that Android 2.1 is supposed to support this in the browser. Jason

Oh, that's right, it's all warm weather and Olympic gold medals and centre of the universe to you Vancouver folks. Sheesh. There is a world East of the Rockies, you know. ;-) To be clear, I'd assumed any impact would be negligible, and as Edward says, the regional meet-ups considered as separate -- if anything, complimentary -- events. I'm always happy to help out with a few beer towers at Steamworks, given the chance. MJ

Sean, thanks, that's an awesome tip, especially considering that the Quick Shuttle says it goes to downtown Vancouver and provides 'door step service to most major hotels'. Also, sorry if this is probably too much detail at this point, thanks to the Olympic legacy (coughtaxpayers/cough) Vancouver now has direct light rail service (SkyTrain) from the airport to downtown for $3.75 (peak) / $2.50 (evenings + weekends). Either way, better than paying $35 for a cab from the airport to downtown. Mark

The main entry, formed per 22.14A should be *Kilgour, Fredrick G.

This paper examines one such seemingly strange set of rules, those regarding spirit communications, and explores how these rules illuminate both historical developments and current practices in cataloging. Anglo-American cataloging rules regarding author entry for works of spirit communication are particularly illustrative of evolving theories of authorship and bibliographic identity in the library catalog.

Thanks, Chris Beer Web Developer WGBH Interactive Dear Code4Libbers - WGBH needs your help. Can you spare 5 minutes for a survey? We are re-designing PBCore.org a metadata dictionary site and you are our primary audience. Please help us create a better experience for our users. PBCore is a metadata dictionary originally designed for the exchange of public broadcasting materials. Today it is used by broadcasters, vendors, and libraries and archives to describe and manage their media materials. We have recently received funding to release PBCore 2.0 and, as part of that effort, are redesigning the schema web site PBCore.org Please take 5 minutes to answer questions about your experience with schema web sites.

I've never been to Vancouver, so I don't know what the housing options are. But I wonder if there isn't some way to keep the nightly rate down.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Code4Lib 2011 Proposals
Hi everybody, Just to follow up on Mark's comments, we'll be making every effort to ensure cheap(er) accommodation options are available to conference goers. Also, I can assure you that to help keep registration fees low we'll be leaning on our vendors, who UBC has graciously donated to over the years - you know who you are ;) - to help sponsor the conference. In addition, the UBC Library will be pitching in some money to subsidize the cost of the facilities. As for the size and scope of the city, we're aiming to keep the hotel, conference site, and pubs all within a central location while still affording people the opportunity to get out and about to explore the city. Sadly there's no promises of a C4LC closing ceremony with a performance like this: http://www.mahalo.com/michael-buble-olympics Now back to the proposal...
