I am concerned by the fact that the IP Registry appears to have gone
around figuring out the IP ranges for schools based on public records
from the IANA and a bunch of vendor records. I'm sure that was
difficult, and their site says it took four years. When it was done,
they announced that
We're using Papercut https://www.papercut.com and you can assign an email
address to the printer and people can email their attachments to print. Our
patrons are students, so we also turned on logins to their webprint 'site' to
print via upload. They have a BYOD print feature that works
The experience of having to change IPs with publishers and vendors is what
ultimately pushed me to sign up even though I was feeling kind of
skeptical. The proxy migration actually happened a couple years ago
before we signed up for the IP Registry, so the fun of trying to figure out
who I
It is one thing to sign up for a service and another to see how it performs
when you need it. Jeremiah: It sounds like you had a good experience about the
IP Registry when you really needed it—changing the IP address of a proxy
server. Can you (or anyone else) talk more about that experience?

PrinterOn was used by a number of libraries, including here.
That product is basically dead now though after being through multiple
acquisitions.
A good alternative is ePRINTit. We just started using it here and it's working
great.
It does work similar to PrinterOn, except it's simplified and
We use Envisionware's Mobile Printing. It has worked really well for
us, but we also use Envisionware for our PC reservation system on our
public computers, so it was easy to add mobile printing as an option.
People can download the app to print things from their phone or they can

Hi all,
I'm hoping I can prod the collective wisdom about a perennial problem here
at our library: What to do when a patron comes in with something on their
phone to be printed, but for whatever reason they cannot use a computer to
retrieve it (for instance in the case where they do not remember

That's basically what we will do too. Looking at code similar to ableplayer's,
which will generate an audio-description from a .vtt via the web speech api and
google's text-to-speech engine. Still, the production cost and time...

We'll add audio descriptions upon request but haven't had any yet. The bigger
issue is that our video players don't generally offer multiple soundtracks,
meaning we have to have the video uploaded twice: one without AD, one with.

Policy-adjacent for our DL.

Interesting note for Texas institutions: TAC §206.70(a)(1) and §206.70(b) would
supersede/cover for local institutional policies, but puts an .edu into a weird
space regarding the timing
To be clear, our policy is to include captions AND that all captions must be
manually checked and edited. This applies to both automated and captions from
live transcription.

Hi Angela,
I would recommend using ImageMagick's (free) "convert" program that you can
install and invoke as a command-line tool (for example, in Linux). Here's
a posting with an example of using it to do what you've described:

Good afternoon,
We have a scanner set-up that saved a bunch of our scans into a multipage
TIFF file format. Unfortunately, we have not found a great way to split
this into multiple tiff files while retaining the tiff format and quality
of the scanned image. We'd rather not re-do the work done on

public-facing video content, whether marketing videos, tutorials, or

Just to comment further, auto-caption accuracy varies greatly by person and
even within a person. A lot of speech input users find they need to create
different profiles such as a morning and afternoon voice profile. I knew one
person who even had spring versus non-spring variations due to her

At NYU, we inherit policy from the university and from central IT. Here is
a link to the captioning guidelines for A/V:

Completely agree with Kate. Auto-captioning is a decent start but you have to
clean them up to make them helpful. And many users have a need for captions. So
please do it.

We mandate captioning as well. Kaltura does auto-captions but both myself and
the university mandate checking and editing the captions soon after posting.
Anyone who says the auto-captioning and pretty much perfect are made to wear
the silliest of hats and sit in the corner of a circular room.
We don't have a formal policy but we are putting our library video content on
Panopto and we do captioning.

Would you be willing to share what you find.
