Re: [CODE4LIB] API to retrieve scholarly publications by author
Possibly the Mendeley API? http://dev.mendeley.com/getting_started/common_tasks.html It might also make a difference to know the domain in which these authors publish. Scopus indexes primarily scientific, technical, medical content. -Original Message- From: Code for Libraries [mailto:CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU] On Behalf Of Heller, Margaret Sent: Wednesday, May 20, 2015 7:27 AM To: CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] API to retrieve scholarly publications by author I've used the arXiv API for a similar purpose: http://arxiv.org/help/api/index.

I would like to be able to grab them and display them on a website along with other information about each author. Google Scholar does not have a public API as far as I can tell. CrossRef metadata search does not allow to search by author. Orcid seems promising. I would have to ask the users I have in mind to add or import their publications to Orcid, as most of them are not on there already. That's doable, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to do what I described above with their public (as opposed to their member) API. Any other ideas or thoughts? Best, Alex Armstrong
Re: [CODE4LIB] Digital Library/Archiving software
Marshall Breeding's Library Technology web site has a nice search tool that lets you explore what software different libraries are using. Not sure if it includes a lot of museums and it may be heavily ILS focused versus other content tools. http://librarytechnology.org/ -Original Message- From: Code for Libraries [mailto:CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU] On Behalf Of Matt Sherman Sent: Friday, May 08, 2015 8:54 AM To: CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] Digital Library/Archiving software An interesting question. I am not sure if there is one great source for that. You can get some idea of open source platforms from FOSS4Lib. I think Wikipedia actually has a listing of software, but not 100% sure on that. It is slightly more institutional repository focused, but the Directory of Open Access Repositories has an interesting statistics section, which I think includes a chart of what software is used in each repository. I can't speak to your Greenstone question, I'm not aware of many that use it, but there could still be a strong user group out there. Hope that helps a little.

Re: [CODE4LIB] code4lib registration repercussions?
This has happened to me as well, but it was from registering for an athletic event (I don't even remember what it was any more) not for anything code4lib related.

What you are describing would have been suspicious to anyone signing up for the conference.

I have some information about a possible problem with the company handling registration for code4lib. I recently noticed a suspicious charge on my credit card for the amount of $64.95. The charge showed up as ACT*ACTIVE-NETWORK. After some investigation I found out this was from a company called ACTIVE Network, LLC. Apparently this company handles registration for events. To my dismay I found out that I had been charged for this annually since 2013. I'm very embarrassed that 1. I didn't notice this during the registration process and 2. I didn't catch the charges earlier. Anyhow, after a quick email search I found something surprising; I had received emails from this company at my /work/ email address. I never noticed the emails because they looked like junkmail, however, upon reviewing them I discovered that at some point I had supposedly registered for a free trial that ended after a month, at which point I was automatically enrolled into an annual subscription. Needless to say, I//did /not/ ever sign up for any trial or subscription, at least not to my knowledge. Since I have only used my personal credit card for work purposes 3 times, it was easy to tie this to code4lib 2013. I looked at my receipt for code4lib 2013 and saw that something called RegOnline (owned by Lanyon Solutions Inc) was used to process my event registration. Though I'm not sure this is the same company, RegOnline, Lanyon Solutions Inc, and ACTIVE Network, LLC all share the same physical address. I suspect these three companies are one and the same and will refer to them as ACTIVE Network, LLC for the rest of this email. I did a little investigating and found out that ACTIVE Network, LLC. uses unscrupulous business practices to trick people into singing up for their annual subscription. The crux of this is an automatic opt-in they employ while processing enrollments for third parties. Though
Re: [CODE4LIB] circulation statistics
Does Aleph have an Access reporting component? That's how we do this in XL Voyager. -Original Message- From: Code for Libraries [mailto:CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU] On Behalf Of Eric Lease Morgan Sent: Tuesday, January 13, 2015 2:08 PM To: CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU Subject: [CODE4LIB] circulation statistics Does anybody here know how to extract circulation statistics from an library catalog? Specifically, given a date range, are you able to create a list of the most frequently borrowed books ordered by the number of times they’ve been circulated? I have a colleague who wants to digitize sets of modern literature and then do text analysis against the result. In an effort to do the analysis against popular literature, he wants to create a list of… popular titles. Getting a list of such a thing from library circulation statistics sounds like a logical option to me. Does somebody here know how to do this? If you know how to do it against Ex Libris’s Aleph, then that is a bonus. — Eric Morgan
Re: [CODE4LIB] code4lib in San Diego?
Yeah, it's probably very unlikely that I would travel to LA for a meet up - I commuted to LA from SD for two years for school and haven't quite recovered from that. :) I mainly was hoping to connect with some more local library geeks for informal happy hour type get-togethers. Maybe we'll chat a little bit about library systems, but maybe we'll just talk about local craft beer.

I'm not in San Diego but I am in Southern Cali and a part of the Southern Cali group, so I feel I can weigh in on this: If the people in SD want to meet and can find a convenient place to do so, for goodness sakes, let them and don't worry about meetup vs local code4lib. Just ask please Bee et al to keep in touch with the other Southern Cali and other Cali groups so that we can have periodic joint events. If there's confusion, San Diego can just call itself Northern Mexico group (just kiddin'). The LA area is so hard to get around that I would much rather have a bunch of little offshoot local code4libs that occasionally get together for a larger, longer meeting than to have no one meet at all because it's so damn difficult to get to the place where the meeting is. I don't see the harm in many mini groups. I'm saying this as someone who commutes 42 miles each way to my job.
