[CODE4LIB] Fwd: [lita-l] Mobile Computing Virtual Meeting (LITA)

[Bohyun Kim]

> Mobile Computing Virtual Meeting (LITA)
>  
> WHEN: Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - 10-11am PST/1-2pm EST
> 
> LOCATION: Virtually – go to http://oregonstate.adobeconnect.com/litamobile/  
>  
> DESCRIPTION:  The LITA – Mobile Computing IG is pleased to host the following 
> presentations at its upcoming virtual meeting:
> 
> 1.  Using Gamification to Teach Users About Library Services and Collections
> Presenter: Kyle Felker, Digital Initiatives Librarian, Grand Valley State 
> University
> 
> The GVSU Libraries are preparing to work with a game development company to 
> develop a library orientation game tentatively called LibraryQuest.  Our 
> current thinking is that the primary platform for the game will be a mobile 
> app, with a target for IOS devices with the potential for cross-platform 
> android devices as well.  We have contracted with the company and have some 
> concept documents, and are planning to begin construction after the winter 
> holidays.  
> 
> 2. Responsive Web Design and Collaboration
> Presenters: Bob Robertson-Boyd, Product Analyst, and Hany Elemary, Senior 
> Software Engineer (End User Services, OCLC)
> 
> OCLC’s End User Services has been working on a responsive design Web site as 
> part of the evolution of FirstSearch.  Our presentation will walk through the 
> collaborative process we have used to create a responsive Web site optimized 
> for desktop, tablet, and smart phones.  We will discuss the business value of 
> taking a content-first approach to developing a new Web site and provide

> 
> Mobile devices are a part of the digital landscape; however, there is no 
> unified device or operating system. To address this concern, a common 
> practice has been to design a mobile web page for every operating system 
> currently on the market. This has been no problem for libraries with the 
> resources available to devote to these projects. Other libraries 
> unfortunately do not have resources to devote to a mobile initiative.  
> Creating and maintaining multiple sites requires staff time and resources 
> they do not have.  The need to provide mobile service will not go away; 
> however, there is a way to provide patrons with a useful mobile interface 
> without the added cost of creating and maintaining multiple sites.  The 
> answer is Responsive Web Design.  This idea, coined by Ethan Marcotte, may be 
> the answer to creating a web presence in a mobile world without the added 
> hassle of creating multiple sites.  The presentation will give a brief 
> overview of Responsive Web Design and discuss how it could reduce the time

>  
>  
> 4. Responsive web design: serving devices of any size from one content source
> Presenter: Jesse J. Saunders, Head, Library Systems & Web Services (A. Frank 
> Smith, Jr. Library Center, Southwestern University)
>  
> When redesigning our library website, our redesign team worked with our web 
> designer to include responsive styling, reformatting the page layout based on 
> the screen size of the users device. This allows us to maintain one content

goals
  * Collaborate deeply within and across departments to manage innovation,

functions with digital solutions
  
Position Requirements:

  
The most compelling candidate will have a deep knowledge of innovations in
digital content publishing and promotion, community cultivation, and strong

Experience and skills required:

  * Minimum of 7- 9 years of progressively responsible relevant professional

[CODE4LIB] Request for recommendation on good tutorials of overview of Dreamweaver CS6

[Wilhelmina Randtke]

Web4Lib,

As of this week, I have access to Dreamweaver CS6.  I am looking for good
tutorials to learn how Dreamweaver handles a site structurally.  I have a
lot of background in websites, and am comfortable hand coding something
simple without any reference tools.  What I want to learn with Dreamweaver
is not simple common editing tasks - so not updating content.  Instead, I
want to learn structural things about site-wide management and especially
moving between html and css, and seeing cues about the css while I am
editing html.  Bonus if it has tips on using Dreamweaver with php.

What is a good resource to quickly learn the interface for Dreamweaver
CS6?  I want stuctural tips.  I do not want a hit list of making a new
file, embedding videos, making fonts bold, and other simple things that I
can quickly use a search engine to find.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Implemented Microdata (or RDFa Lite) and Schema.org?

[William Sexton]

Jason - We implemented RFDa Lite in our digital collections application last 
year. In fact, we used your article in the C4L journal as a basis for the 
project. You can see the results in the HTML source for our collection portal 
pages and individual item pages. Here are a few example URL's:

http://library.duke.edu/digitalcollections/gedney/
http://library.duke.edu/digitalcollections/adaccess_W0355/
http://library.duke.edu/digitalcollections/behindtheveil_albany_ga_and_environs/

We started out with Microdata, and focused on connecting items to their parent 
collections, and to the library units where they're held. Later we switched to 
RDFa for more precision in representing custom metadata properties, though most 
of what we're doing now is still from the schema.org ontology. We pulled up 
short of mapping all of our Dublin Core refinements into the framework, but the 
hooks are there for it. 

We also started using sitemaps and managing them with Google's webmaster tools, 
with an eye toward using the Google Site Search platform. We're watching 
analytics to help inform our decisions, but the most ambitious outlook is 
first, to use Google as the first-choice discovery platform for 
library-generated content, and second, to expand the use of Site Search to as 
much of the library web site as possible.

Hope this helps; we'll email you privately with a little more info.

Will

OK, world, looks like voting is functional again. Go ahead and vote for your 
favorite design!

And remember to complete the Size-o-tron if you want a t-shirt! It's included 
with the price of admission!

[CODE4LIB] Fwd: Inviting community engagement on building a bibliographic roadmap

Subject: Inviting community engagement on building a bibliographic roadmap

Good afternoon, NISO community,

Last fall, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation generously awarded the National 
Information Standards Organization (NISO) with a grant to support an initiative 
that will develop a community roadmap toward a new bibliographic exchange 
environment.  This roadmap will help support movement toward a future of 
bibliographic information exchange ecosystem. The bibliographic roadmap 
initiative aims to bring together as diverse a set of stakeholders as possible 
to build agree around on a common development path for bibliographic 
information exchange.  Using a consensus process, NISO hopes to build agreement 
about the problems that we face, which are the best available solutions, and 
work toward coordinating community efforts.  The project is not trying to 
duplicate efforts already underway, nor is it trying to drive a particular 
agenda, nor support a single community project. Through open virtual dialogue 
and an in-person meeting—again open and publicly accessible—, the initiative 
will ascertain the necessary elements of a bibliographic standards environment 
that are implementable, suit our global networked information environment, 
support data sharing, and are economically viable.

Over the course of the next nine months, NISO will host one face-to-face 
meeting in the United States and several global webinars, as well as organize 
at least three working group efforts during the periods between webinars. These 
meetings will be conducted to explore priorities and coordinate the 
requirements of key communities including: libraries of all types including 
national libraries; technologists represented by organizations such as the 
World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI); 
library system providers; as well as other international standards development 
organizations. The end result of this work will be a report that will identify 
exchange points where standards development is needed, and document suggested 
areas where functionality testing should be performed.  It should help pinpoint 
at a high level the development priorities and coordination points needed over 
the next 24-36 months.

NISO will be hosting an open community teleconference to launch this project on 
Thursday, January 17 at 9:00 ET (UTC -5:00) and we encourage community 
involvement in that meeting. The purpose of this call will be to introduce the 
community to this project, outline our goals, answer any questions and begin to 
map out planning the project and identify dates and locations for the in-person 
meeting that the Mellon Foundation has funded.  We expect the call will take 
about 60 minutes.

Please use the following dial-in:
  Toll-Free (US & Can) 1-877-375-2160
  Conference ID: 767-11-246#
 For a list of international dial-in numbers visit: 
https://ccimeet.tcconline.com/listNumbersByCode.action?confCode=76711246

More information about the project can be found on the NISO website: 
http://www.niso.org/topics/tl/BibliographicRoadmap/  We will also record the 
call and will post the recoding to this page after the event.  You can also 
find an extract of the proposal describing the project in detail at that page.

If you plan to attend, please send an RSVP to 
nis...@niso.org prior to Thursday morning.

We look forward to speaking with many of you on Thursday.

With kindest regards,

Todd Carpenter
Executive Director, NISO

It has been brought to my attention that the Diebold-o-tron isn't quite
functioning. Stay tuned for further instructions from your alien overlords.

Hey community,

Don't forget! Today is the last day to submit your vital statistics to the
T-Shirt Size-a-Tron in order to get a shirt at C4L 2013! Here's the URL:

https://docs.google.com/**spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=**

Re: [CODE4LIB] XMP Metadata to tab-delemited file

[Medina-Smith, Andrea]

Simon,

CONTENTdm in our case needs a tab delimited file with the following fields 
(with the xmp tag in parenthesis): title (), date, collection / 
source (), description (), rights  
(), subject, creator   (), contributors, 
notes, filename (). For those that I do not have XMP tags for 
I know that I won't be pulling that information out of the image metadata. 

In our case the image description is being entered by technitians directly 
"into" the image file using Adobe Bridge so I'm fairly confident that we'll be 
able to pull back out what we need. 

If you know people at NIST I'd be happy to expand my contact list here on 
campus! :) 

Thanks for all the help,
Andrea

XMP uses a subset of RDF/XML, with a few  limitations thrown in to make 
reification and provenance tracking impossible, but hey who needs metadata.

I'm not sure if XSLT is particularly well suited to anything, but it ought to 
be possible to cruft something up.  I would still recommend following Owen's 
suggestion of using an RDF toolkit of some kind to take hide the details of any 
sequences etc.  I can point you at a few people at NIST who might be able to 
give some advice.

What does ContentMFDM expect in it's tab separated files?
