scientific
What are best practices for preventing problems in cases like this when an
important Linked Data service may go offline?
--- originally this was a reply to Jodi which she suggested to post on the
list too ---
A safe [pessimistic?] approach would be to say we don't trust [reliability
of] linked
downloads. Here's a torrent file of all those zip files, in a
bagit bag:

First, grab the data before it disappears... :)

Registrations for the edUi conference are going gangbusters. Even if you
missed out on our early bird tickets, Code4Lib subscribers can still
register for $450.
Just use the discount code 'library' when you
registerhttp://eduiconf.org/register/?discount=library
.
Some sessions Code4Lib
Conference info isn't prominent on the homepage (I just had to look it up
to share with somebody).
Anybody have time to put the Code4Lib 2014 dates schedule there
prominently? Ideally along with proposal deadlines...

I don't know of any best practices *yet* but for various reasons it
seems to me that a network of mirrors that push updates out would be a
good thing. Even not considering major government disfunctionality,
there are fires and floods and earthquakes and ... etc. It's never
sufficient to rely
Apologies for cross-posting.
Code4Lib Edmonton will be meeting this Thursday, October 3rd, at 6pm at the
Empress Ale House, 9912 82 (Whyte) Avenue. In addition to chatting about
library technology related things, we'll start organizing a lightning talk
even to be held in November. More details
...you'd want to create a caching service...
One solution for a relevant particular problem (not full-blown linked-data
caching):

can reach them. Relying on remote
Interesting -- thanks, Birkin -- and tell us what you think when you get it
implemented!

FYI - this also means that there's a very good chance that the MARC
standards site [1] and the Source Codes site [2] will be down as well. I
don't know if there are any mirror sites out there for these pages.

[2] http://www.loc.gov/standards/sourcelist/index.html
All *.loc.gov web sites will be closed, including the two you quoted.
The Internet Archive's Way Back Machine is probably your best bet for these
types of things:

As seen on Twitter, OCLC also has our version of MARC documentation here:
http://www.oclc.org/bibformats/en.html
It's mostly exactly the same except for the places where we have inserted
small but effective messages that RESISTANCE IS FUTILE, YOU WILL BE
ASSIMILATED.

And of course http://dewey.info/ will still work no matter what the feds do …
I was gonna say something about still being able to use LCSH and LCNAF via
Connexion, but that's really mostly for humans grin

If all people need is to look up MARC tags, there is also the Cataloging

totally disgusted, avoid looking source code as it was my first javascript

Netscape 4.0 is out? Gosh, but it sure is hard to keep up!

Well, at least for those who have Connexion in the first place ;c)
I'm trying to cover all the bases for those catalogers who are panicking

It appeared very recently (depending on your timeframe) -- but that version
is absolutely necessary because the javascript support in 3.0 couldn't
support what I needed to do. And I had no access to cgi at the time I wrote
it, so server side action that might have accommodated Mosaic aficionados
I've temporarily set up mirrors at:
* http://stuff.coffeecode.net/www.loc.gov/marc/ (MARC21 docs)
* http://stuff.coffeecode.net/www.loc.gov/standards/sourcelist/
(standards documentation)
Hopefully these won't be necessary for long, or at all :/
