Re: [CODE4LIB] Academic consortium with blacklight as discovery layer
I'm not sure, but I think I'm looking at your logo and it appears someone forgot to flatten it in Photoshop (or Gimp) before posting. That has zero to do with Blacklight.

Re: [CODE4LIB] software to limit computer login time
I would think you could tweak your logon software to make a session expire x.minutes.from.now On 03/18/2015 02:54 PM, Laura Krier wrote: Hey folks, I'm starting to investigate software that we could install on a few of our public workstations that would limit the length of time a user could be logged in. This would be done to establish a few computers as print only or brief use only computers. I've seen this in other libraries, but I'm having a hard time searching: all I'm finding are tools for parental control of home computers. Does anyone have any software recommendations for me? Laura

Check this out for linux: http://www.linux-pam.org/Linux-PAM-html/sag-pam_limits.html Tom Connolly On 03/18/2015 04:07 PM, Jack Hill wrote: Ronald, What features are you looking for? I'm may also be interested in something similar. I suspect that the final solution could be fashioned by putting together existing software, such as bugme https://github.com/mit-athena/bugme (session timer), with some other software (that I don't know about or doesn't exist) to authorize and provision guest accounts. A custom lightdm greeter http://www.mattfischer.com/blog/?p=5 may be a good place for adding the latter functionality to the existing support for guest accounts in Ubuntu.

We used to have 6 workstations with Ubuntu on them but when we switched to using Envisionware this became impossible. Any open source projects would be even better!

[CODE4LIB] Dewey code
Is there an open source way to format the dewey code for printing book labels? Or can someone tell me how to isolate just the dewey number from a marc file (I have MarcEdit; is there a better tool for this simple task?) so it is the only field sent to the printer? (I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 and printing to a Dymo 450) Thanks Tom Connolly St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Naples FL webmaster
Re: [CODE4LIB] Dewey code
Forgive my ignorance. When I looked up ILS I came to this paragraph that explains why: Larger libraries use an ILS to order and acquire, receive and invoice, catalog, circulate, track and shelve materials. Smaller libraries, such as those in private homes ornon-profit organizations http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-profit(like churches or synagogues, for instance), often forgo the expense and maintenance required to run an ILS, and instead use alibrary computer system http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library_computer_system.^[/citation needed http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed/] source: Wikipedia We are a church with 1500 books we would like to put on our website, and thought we would use this workflow: 1. Create barcode from isbn number and print label. 2. Acquire Dewey number from Library of Congress via z39.50, and print that to a label. 3. Affix labels to the books. 4. Place marc records into a Postgresql database and allow users to search via a browser, using Ruby on Rails for the front and back ends. At the moment I'm trying to figure out step 2. I'm the church volunteer webmaster and not a coder, working with two other volunteers who happen to be career professional librarians but not programmers. If the Dewey numbers generated by the LC are insufficient, we'll tweak them over time. I just need to know how to isolate that one field to print it to our thermal label printer. Thank you.

At many/most libraries, you'd need local Cuttering, item specific (e.g. volume/copy number), etc info not available in the bib record. kyle On Fri, Aug 8, 2014 at 12:33 PM, Tom Connolly tedwardconno...@gmail.com wrote: Is there an open source way to format the dewey code for printing book labels?
