Re: [CODE4LIB] Interim data storage for researchers

2016-04-12 Thread Rhoads, Joseph 
I've also seen a few things on Globus that might fit in with what you
describe.
https://www.globus.org/

I do not have personal experience with it.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Open Library Internet Archive BookReader

2013-05-31 Thread Rhoads, Joseph 
We also use the Open Library Internet Archive BookReader as one of our book
viewers at Brown.
https://repository.library.brown.edu/services/book_reader/set/bdr:218476/

Another option we've adapted is Portfolio.js which we call the Portfolio
Viewer
https://repository.library.brown.edu/services/book_reader/portfolio/bdr:218476/
This is our current solution for large books with occasional irregularly
sized page.

Happy to answer questions.

 We are using it in an edit app on the admin side of the digital libraries
 @ UNT.

 On an expanded note.  Does anyone have some success they can share in
 regards to serving materials through bookreader where the contained pages
 of a single item have variable widths and/or heights? Building off the demo
 assumes a fixed width/height ratio, which in our experience is not always
 the case (consider the book with the occasional map foldout).

 In our case we do not know an image's dimensions until it has loaded so we
 can't construct an array on the server side to lookup against, and doing so
 on page load would charge us a significant penalty for large items (books
 with 1000s of pages). My current hack has auto filled to the width, which
 breaks centering and thumbs, but renders the odd page as legible.

 So any thoughts/ideas? Thanks in advance!

 Will

We do a lot of our development within virtual machines.
So VirtualBox is a great free solution in that area
www.virtualbox.org
and then to make new VM setup and deployment easier we use Vagrant
http://vagrantup.com/

  If that's a problem for people, it might be worth looking at the various

 perl
  / python / php.
 
  We're probably moving away from locally hosted services towards 'the
 cloud'
  for the most part (remember when they used to be called 'service
  providers'?)
  but it's still useful to learn a little something about configuring a
  webserver / database / etc.
 
  And it's generally more locked down in the various *AMP stacks than if
  you went and installed them individually, so there aren't quite the
  same level of problems w/ security.
