It would be great to see a code4lib style event in Europe - although
if there is enough interest I would think that would suggest this
could run as well as a US based event
I guess the issue is always to find people willing to put in the time

Includes dc:format and dc:type, so this might fill the need of an XML DC
structure.
You could use the MARCXML structure I guess, but much more
LibX uses COinS as well I think - so generally be useful in taking

Although I don't always agree with him, Jacob Nielsen has advice on the
provision of 'Advanced Search' - essentially, most users cannot use it
effectively - http://www.useit.com/alertbox/20010513.html The only
problem with this is that the short report doesn't make it very clear

In addition to DC-TEXT [1], there is a MoinMoin wiki syntax
for embedding DSP constraints into a human-readable wiki
document in a form that a script can extract to XML [2].
To see this applied to the Eprints profile [3], run the
script DSP2XML [4]. The source code is available at [5].
Ideally, the usage guidelines would explain *why* this is the case in
a
way that makes sense to the cataloger. I think different communities
will do this differently, but I suspect that the library community
will
continue to want very detailed, human-readable rules.
I agree

I posted a little while ago that I was organising a 'Mashed Libraries' event.
Well, registration for the event is now open at

I'm not sure, but my guess would be that the example you give isn't
really a 'browse index' function, but rather creates a search result set

Google Mini didn't facet when I used it (about a year ago). It is very
simple to setup, and required very little maintenance.
The Mini had some restrictions compared to the Google Appliance, if
these apply it would be worth looking at the differences - the Appliance

Plenty of room to sync most library catalogues onto large Gb devices though -
how about catalogue on SD card etc.

Our biggest challenge is actually getting our hands on an iPhone because
there are some issues with the university paying for monthly cell phone

I understood the developers SDK included iphone/itouch simulation so that you
