Re: [CODE4LIB] CMS selection
Jeffrey, Many thanks for the frank comments. I'm going to forward your email to the project manager and ask for a follow up with you on the Loyola Law leads. Best regards, Ed -Original Message- From: Code for Libraries [mailto:CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU] On Behalf Of Jeffrey Sabol Sent: Thursday, April 2, 2015 8:43 PM To: CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] CMS selection My previous place of employment, Loyola Law School ( http://www.lls.edu/resources/library/), switched to Terminal 4 about 4 years ago, it was selected by the HR department for the entire campus. The Library had a lot of problems tailoring it to the needs of the Library, and in my opinion pretty much any library that is forced into predesigned templates will never really have a user friendly website. One of the bigger problems is the huge header menu that was forced on every department. Shortly before I left, the Law School hired a full time Drupal developer to create a Drupal intranet and additional webpages that were not able to be made in Terminal 4 (If I remember correctly php and javascript were not supported). This was 4 years ago and I am sure a lot of things have changed so I encourage you to check out their website and if you are seriously considering Terminal 4 I can put you in touch with several people that still work there.

[CODE4LIB] CMS selection
Colleagues, I am on a campus-wide team charged with evaluating and selecting a new CMS system to replace our centralized Apache/PHP/Includes-based web server infrastructure. Our Libraries and University Archives have relied on the existing centralized system and would like to contribute to the selection of a new CMS-based platform that will position our library well into the future. Currently the list is down to four vendors: Hippo OmniUpdate Terminal 4 Jahia If any of you have experience with any of these systems you wouldn't mind sharing please contact me off list. Your feedback would be appreciated.

I don't know of a time-sensitive one, but Apple's "Find My iPad" (or iPhone), has an option to remotely lock a device: https://www.apple.com/icloud/features/find-my-iphone.html I suspect it needs a network connection to send the signal to lock. I don't know if it'll stop anyone who can jailbreak the device, but it would hopefully stop the person attempting to 'borrow' it long-term. (and you can track where it is, if it's a device with GPS) -Joe
[CODE4LIB] Library programmer skills
Hey code4libers, I would welcome your suggestions as I develop a proposal for a new full-time programmer line hopefully to be added to my current Library IT department of four (including myself). We are an Innovative/Encore/Research Pro/Synergy Library so we do little programing in terms of discovery. We are however involved in beta-testing for Sierra which when ready will have a new open DB architecture and API's. I would like this position to help the Library leverage that somehow. Something you should know about our campus ... the university powers that be have been successful so far at limiting open source platforms on campus to the single campus web server (RHEL, Apache, PHP) that includes the Library site! Everywhere else OSS is verboten. This is a struggle for us at times because much of what is grant-funded in the library world produces open source tools that we cannot utilize unless hosted elsewhere. This means we have SharePoint which we find useful for many solutions but not feasible for heavy hitting external facing web interfaces. So we outsource: bepress, libguides, contentdm, ares, illiad, wordpress, libraryh3lp, etc. Lately during a website migration we had to step up to do some fairly complex batch text manipulation, that project was followed by another involving many lines of JAVA code for a program to produce EAD formatted XML. There were also many database changes and the development of a delivery platform for that EAD. We have also utilized JQuery to create a mobile site for the Library and have several legacy database to web applications that need to be updated. Add to this the fact that Libraries are at a moment of great opportunity in terms of reaching new users (data management), content digitization (archives and special collections), and linked data. Much of this is relevant to coding so besides seeking someone who can walk on water what skills would you recommend we seek in an entry-level position at a great university? Your help is appreciated.
