For those working on the OJS platform, how are you pulling your monthly/quarterly statistics? I've just heard from my editor that he's hand pulling download counts monthly, which is time consuming. It seems like there must be an easier way. I have not ever looked at the back end of OJS but post-ALA will be digging around to find my log in, I'm sure it's here somewhere. Appreciate any ideas!

Re: [CODE4LIB] same css, different servers, one breaks in IE
In looking quickly at your not working in IE example, it looks to me like it does work in IE9 but not 8. So perhaps it works like you think it does, only you're not seeing it because of IE's idiosyncrasies? Hope I'm correctly understanding your question. A few common IE gotchas, if you haven't tried these already or aren't accustomed to messing with IE much (F12 for developer tools - actually lots of good stuff here for checking the DOM, stylesheets, network): *Be sure that IE is pretending to be the browser you think it is - check the browser mode and document mode listed in the developer tools menu. IE likes to switch modes for no good reason. *IE can also be very aggressive about caching. There are cache settings you can change in the developer tools but I find that they don't always work. A full cache clear is sometimes what it takes to get the latest CSS update.

Re: [CODE4LIB] same css, different servers, one breaks in IE
Another IE (8 and less, I believe) gotcha is it only processes 4095 rules in a CSS file; you have to break large files into multiple chunks.

[CODE4LIB] Code4Lib 2014: Save the dates!
Hi all, I am happy to announce that we have secured the venue and dates for Code4Lib 2014! The conference will be held at the Sheraton Raleigh Hotel in downtown Raleigh, NC on March 24 - 27, 2014. Preconferences will be held Monday March 24, and the main conference on Tuesday March 25 - 27. The Sheraton Raleigh Hotel is working through a $6 million renovation that will be completed this fall.

In the hotel will be Jimmy V's restaurant, where 5% of the revenues are donated to the V Foundation for Cancer Research. The hotel is always within easy walking distance to many restaurants, pubs, parks, museums, and other attractions. The Code4Lib 2014 Conference will be the only event using the meeting space this week. The meeting space offers open foyers that will be excellent for our morning and afternoon breaks, along with space for the project and vendor table sponsors looking to build collaboration with the Code4Lib community. Finally, the hotel has the capacity to host all of the attendees, and we've negotiated a rate of $159/night that includes wireless access in the hotel rooms. Hotel reservations will be able to made after you register using the information provided in your registration confirmation. We will be publishing more details as become available.
