We now have four community members joining together to support the expenses of
people who want to go to Code4Lib 2010, so it's likely that we'll be able to
support more than two people's travel expenses.
I should mention that support will be informal and discreet- its not like the
We've made some progress on this topic.
I have available a list of our FAST subject headings. They are derived
from LCSH and may be of some use. The folks that produced this file are
working on producing a similar file for LCSH.
The file can be found at

Hi Everyone,
It is time to design this year's code4lib t-shirt. As in year's past,
the design should be for the entire front of the t-shirt, and should
work with a one-color printing.
Please send a high-quality image of your design to me (email address
below). I will compile the entries and then
In a rare demonstration of doing as promised, I have a FAST
AutoSuggester running based on that data. An HTML demonstration of the

Nice work, Ralph. That's really slick. I have all the subject terms in the
solr index, but I would like to eventually integrate the Worldcat data to
make the results more relevant (rather than just sorted alphabetically since
each subject occurs only once).
I have yet to adapt my Orbeon forms
Thanks!

I checked the first title (Global warming by Cynthia Bily, 2006), its OCLC
record had Global warming¹
At a guess, it's a flaw in my understanding of how to do a precise WorldCat
search. I threw the phrase warming, global at the subject index and it looks
to have done an implicit AND and a ranking of the results. The real mystery to
me is why global warming gets 13 times as many records as
11 matches
