Re: [CODE4LIB] online payment system for libraries?
From a development standpoint, I have really enjoyed using Stripe ( https://stripe.com/). They offer some great hooks to get done anything I've ever wanted to do, and the payment processing is all done on Stripe's servers - no PCI/DSS compliance issues to worry about! I've implemented instances in PHP, C# and Python, and a very basic implementation in Node.JS - I know they have examples in lots of other languages as well. I couldn't tell from your question if you were looking for a pre-packaged solution, or something you could develop/work with in-house. .m On Thu, Jul 10, 2014 at 8:15 AM, Sarah Shealy sarah.she...@outlook.com wrote: Bohyun, We have online payment at Richland Library, I'm not sure of the details since I only did front end work on the project, my my co-worker Mark Jarrell would have more answers. mjarr...@richlandlibrary.com Sarah Date: Thu, 10 Jul 2014 14:59:26 + From: b...@hshsl.umaryland.edu Subject: [CODE4LIB] online payment system for libraries?

[CODE4LIB] mediaelement.js and responsive design -- helpful hints
Hey all,
Our web team has been incrementally migrating our website over to a
responsive design based on foundation.js, and it's presented lots of
interesting challenges. I use mediaelement.js to manage video playback for
our instructional tutorials, and the combination of MEJS's rendering habits
and Foundation's resize flow leads to some frustrations.
But I came up with a decent, purely CSS solution that allows friendly video
resizing without doing anything to wacky, and I thought I'd share it. If
you use mediaelement.js on a responsive site, and you want decently
friendly video display, you might give it a crack.
Summary:
We'll use CSS along with a couple of tricks and minor abuse of the
!important flag to override MEJS's default video dimension rendering
behavior. We'll allow MEJS to determine the video dimensions until the
browser width is close to the video's width.
This has been tested with MEJS version 2.14.2 and Foundation 5.2.0 on
Chrome 35, Firefox 30, and IE 10 (windows all).
Assumptions:
- Single column display (You could probably modify it to work for
multiple columns with some tweaks, but I haven't gotten there yet)
- You know the video dimensions / aspect ratio (in this example, we
assume 640x480 video, i.e., a 4:3 aspect ratio)
- Your video element is in a dedicated container (e.g., a div) with a
class that we'll call videoContainer.
- No major modifications to default mediaelementplayer.css
I don't know how much of the CSS is overkill -- some of it I inherited from
our web team -- but it seems to work decently well. If you want to see it
in action, check out the following URL:
http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/tutorials/picking_topic/
CSS is below for your enjoyment. I hope you find it useful! At this point,
this is the result of a lot of guesswork and a few helpful hints from
StackOverflow, so I'm not sure how much specific advice I could give, but
I'm happy to try.
Thanks,
Dre.

Re: [CODE4LIB] mediaelement.js and responsive design -- helpful hints
Awesome Dre, thanks for sharing!
Our solution for our video repo was pretty similar. We used the padding-trick
to force a 16:9 ratio
padding-top: 57.25%;
position: relative;
width: 100%;
For those who aren't using MEJS and using something like YouTube, here's a post
I wrote a year or so ago [I guess sometime before we settled on the name
LibraryLearn] about forcing responsive styles on a YouTube/Vimeo embed:
http://ns4lib.com/responsive-youtube/
TL;DR: it's basically the above plus the following styles on the iframe:
height: 100%;
left: 0;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
width: 100%;

[CODE4LIB] Web application for crowdsourcing song identification
I'm doing some volunteer work on a project for a basement sound engineer and publisher who has a large collection of recordings from conventions, and wants to crowdsource identification of them with the people who attend those conventions. The idea is that people would be able to log in to a website, see a list of short clips they can play, and enter identifying information such as song title, performers, and instruments. It occurs to me that this might have broader usefulness among libraries, archives, and researchers. If so, it may be worth expanding this into a bigger open-source project and seeking crowdfunding for developing it further, getting nice graphics, etc. (Crowdfunding for crowdsourcing just seems right.) On the other hand, the most common result when I come up with a great idea is discovering that someone else has already done it better than I could. Obviously there are copyright issues. That's why only logged-in users with a legitimate need can play the clips for identification purposes. There may be other protections as well, such as limited-time availability. So I'm interested in thoughts on this. Does it duplicate something that already exists? Would it be generally useful? -- Gary McGath, Professional Software Developer http://www.garymcgath.com

Beginning in December 2013, DuraSpace began collaborating with The Bishoff Group in order to gain a better understanding of the status of digital content creation, management, and preservation activities underway in the non-ARL academic library community, as well as to determine how DuraSpace’s open source projects and services could (better) meet the needs of this community. The Managing Digital Collections Survey Results Summary gathers data from 145 participating institutions across all types of academic libraries comprising two- and four-year colleges, masters, and doctorate granting universities who weighed-in on a variety of topics and issues related to digital content creation, management, and preservation.
