Gavin,
Apologies for not replying sooner.
We don't have our ILLiad request function set up as a GES that can be
edited via the GES configuration menu. It may take me a bit to unravel how
we set it up.  If you'd like we can talk on the phone about what we have
set up.

[CODE4LIB] Craft drink-up event Tuesday

I am in Boston, and given tomorrow's weather mess it's highly likely I will
NOT make it to Portland on Monday.  If I make it on Tuesday I will arrive
too late for the drink up.

Are there any mechanisms to give my drink up spot to someone else?

e.g.:

 - library catalog
 - federated indexing service such as  Serials Solutions or Primo
Central, or a federated search system like Metalib
 - ejournals
 - ebooks
 - libguides
 - library web site
 - worldcat local

I am looking for sites that are both nice to look at and seem easy to

[CODE4LIB] What time of year do you look for jobs?

2011-10-31 Thread Tania Fersenheim
I am trying to find out if there is a time of year that techie
librarians are more likely to look for new jobs.

When do your thoughts turn to greener pastures?  Fall? Spring? Right
after a difficult support call?

We like the format and might like to order some for ourselves.  I can send a

Was there any decision made on that?

I found Dan Chudnov's design there:

Re: [CODE4LIB] Code4Lib 2011 Proposals

2010-03-03 Thread Tania Fersenheim
Born  raised in Ithaca, went to college there (Go Big Red!) and I love it
there.  BUT I have to agree that February in Ithaca can be dreary.  They
have a decent restaurant and pub scene but one of the key attractions for
Ithaca is the outdoor activities.


Though we could do a wine tour!  

And visit Wegmans.  And eat good bagels. And half moon cookies. And drink
Ithaca beers.

I've changed my mind - I'm all over Ithaca for C4L11.

I have some very strong opinions on venue though. :-)

 Hi Mike,
 
  the Thirsty Monk [1].  It's a half-mile from the conference 
 hotel, so
  it's easily walkable/stumbleable.
 
   1. http://www.yelp.com/biz/thirsty-monk-pub-asheville
 
 The Yelp entry has their address being 50 Commerce St, 
 Asheville, NC 28801.  However their website 
 (http://www.monkpub.com/) has them at 92 Patton Ave, 
 Asheville, NC 28801 (which is even closer to the conference 
 hotel).  Google maps now has Hookah Joe's at the 50 Commerce 
 St address, so perhaps the Thirsty Monk has moved.  They are 
 not answering their phone (828-254-5470) this early, but I 
 will try them later on to get clarification.
 
  I hope to run into some of you folks there.  If you're into Belgian
  beer and a different pub atmosphere, do join me.
 
 Belgian beer is my favorite, so I plan on going (even if you 
 are going to be there -- just teasing!).  I didn't notice any 
 Atomium on draft, though (previewing the beer menu is how I 
 happened to notice the address discrepancy).

 Subject: [CODE4LIB] Code4Lib Van service to and from the 
 Asheville Airport
 
 Code4Lib conference attendees:
 Since the price of taxi service from the airport is pretty 
 steep (I've heard $40 taxi ride one way), the WCU and ASU 
 libraries are looking at ways to help.  We are planning to 
 provide a limited van shuttle service for the Code4Lib 
 conference coming and going to the Asheville airport. (We 
 need a good name...perhaps the Air2Hot Van)  We now have 
 access to two minivans that can hold maximum of 6 passengers 
 with their bags per trip.
 A Asheville Airport to Hotel Van Manifest has been drafted 
 for the van loads based on flight information provided by 
 attendees on the Rideshare wiki. Check out 
 http://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php/Asheville_Airport_to_Hotel_
 Van_Manifest  to see what we have created.  In addition, we 
 are requesting that passengers wanting to use this service 
 provide us with their email and cell phone information so we 
 can contact you directly.  Please send this information to 
 ksclarke+c4lr...@gmail.commailto:ksclarke+c4lr...@gmail.com 
 to confirm your spot.  We will update the confirmed column 
 in the table so you know we have received it.
 We only have a limited space on these two vans so make sure 
 your information is correct.  Please check both your flight 
 arrival and departure times.
 We hope to provide a ride for everyone to/from the airport 
 that needs it but only for Sunday-Friday.  We suspect that 
 there might be many more attendees needing rides during this 
 period then have currently signed up for on the wiki. We will 
 attempt to accommodate all those that have signed up but we 
 only have the two vans and it's an hour and a half roundtrip 
 to the hotel.  Priority will be given to those how have 
 already signed up right now.  We will do our best with anyone 
 who adds their info after this message is sent out.  First 
 check out the table to see what spots we have left in the 
 current load runs.
 If the van is filled or doesn't currently run during your 
 needed time slot, please add your information to the bottom 
 of the rideshare page 
 http://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php/C4L2010rideshare .  We 
 will look to see if we can accommodate your requests in our 
 schedule.  Please don't add loads to the manifest document 
 yourself. We will monitor the rideshare list and add runs as 
 we are able.  Email me directly if you have any questions.
 We are working with the Guest Services and Ground 
 Transportation Desk at the Asheville Airport baggage claim 
 area to coordinating the pickup location for our vans.  More 
 information about this will be forthcoming directly to your 
 provided email and cell phone info.
  Looking forwards to seeing you all in person.   Feedback is welcome.
