[CODE4LIB] Book scanner suggestions redux

2014-03-03 Thread Aaron Rubinstein
Hi all, 

We’re looking to purchase a book scanner and I was hoping to get some 
recommendations from those who’ve had experience.

I found this fantastic thread from 2009:
http://bit.ly/1luEhMV

but it’s been five years so I thought a refresh could be useful.

Here’s our requirements, in a nutshell:

1. Allows us to efficiently digitize books that are potentially rare and 
fragile and cannot be unbound.

2. Gives us control of resulting file format, resolution, etc…

3. Can be connected to a standard desktop computer, preferably PC running 
Windows 7.

4. Does not require dumpster diving[1] or the use of carpentry tools (or any 
real skills, frankly) to bring to life.

Ideal features:

5. Can also scan flat, large format objects like small maps or posters.

6. Is relatively inexpensive (though we will pay $$ for the right setup).

7. Modular and easily upgradable.

8. Uses open source software...

Thanks!

Aaron

Research Libraries, a division of the American Library Association, announces a 
request for proposals for migration and development of the section’s website.

music, and ephemera.

Project Overview

RBMS is soliciting proposals to assist with the migration of its current 
websites (http://rbms.info and http://new.rbms.info) into a single content 
management system. The section has selected WordPress for its new site. The new 
site should allow committee chairs to easily update content, and it should also 
allow for integration with social media platforms.

Project Requirements


1. Create a development site in WordPress on RBMS servers for the 
development and testing of the section’s new website.

2. Customize the premium theme selected by the section 
(http://demo.designwall.com/dw-focus/) to ensure consistent branding across the 
site.

3.  Use the section’s report on current website functionality 
(http://rbms.info/committees/website/RBMSWebsiteSurveyReport.pdf) to revise the 
current site’s architecture.

4. Create a work plan for migrating the existing 7,000+ web pages to 
WordPress. The RBMS web team will implement this plan.

5. Migrate the development site to the live site.


Deadline

The deadline for applications is April 1, 2014. Applications must be submitted 
by 1:00 pm, EDT.

Proposal Requirements


1. The proposal must respond fully to all items in Project Requirements.

2. Evidence of experience with content migration and web development, 
including a reference for a similar project.

3. Details for a budget up to $2000.

4. Proposed schedule of completion. All work must be completed by July 31, 
2014.

5. One (1) professional reference.

Proposal Evaluation Criteria

The RBMS web editors will review all proposals and select one whose product, 
pricing, and proposed schedule best fit the needs of the section.

Contact and Submission

Submit all questions and proposals to:
Melanie Griffin, RBMS web editor: griff...@usf.edu.

[CODE4LIB] Intro to the Conference

2014-03-03 Thread Roy Tennant
There has been some talk in the Code4Lib Conference Program committee about
an Introduction to the Conference. There isn't a specific slot for a
talk, and perhaps not even time for one, except possibly a 5 minute
lightning talk.

But we've also discussed the possibility of having a wiki page or video
introduction that could be read or viewed by anyone at any time. There is
already a How to Hack Code4Lib page by Declan Fleming and others here:

In the interest of being a welcoming community, I think there needs to be 
something at or near the start of the main conference that provides a heads-up 
to the format and structure of the meeting. Particularly since it is unlike 
other conferences. Something that emphasizes the participatory nature and 
how-it-is-what-you-make-of-it. How to sign up for lightning talks. Hospitality 
suite. Etc.

2014-03-03 Thread Roy Tennant
Peter, that's a good point and I think Tim McGeary will be able to cover
the high-points that you mention, and perhaps some others, in his initial
welcoming remarks. But if someone wants to provide a more in-depth and/or
personal introduction to the conference that would be welcome too, although
it will be easiest to accommodate it in the ways I suggested (which could
possibly be a lightning talk as part of the first day's intro if Tim is
willing).

Re: [CODE4LIB] Fwd: RFC 7154 - IETF Guidelines for Conduct

2014-03-03 Thread Karen Coyle
Wow. I really like the IETF policy. It's not so much a code of conduct, 
per se, but it's a great statement of who we are. I think a discussion 
along those lines for c4l would be very interesting. Where IETF has a 
statement like:


 3. IETF participants devise solutions for the global Internet that 
meet the needs of diverse technical and operational environments.


...c4l could say something about promoting solutions for all types and 
all sizes of libraries. A statement about sharing would also be nice. 
And maybe something about welcoming folks with various levels of 
technical expertise.

Code4LibCon is coming up in a few weeks.  I’m sure there will be reminders 
about the community-generated code of conduct 
(https://github.com/code4lib/antiharassment-policy/blob/master/code_of_conduct.md).
  I think it also useful to take a look at what just passed the IETF that 
governs their meetings.  In particular, I like how it gets past the “Thou shalt 
not” and gets to the “Thou shall”.
