It seems I've forgotten my password, so rather than creating a new account just 
to change one line: 

Mebbe some cool stuff about FRBR, but mebbe not


will be a quick summary of FRBR, and a possible solution for aggregates which 
opens up a whole 'nother can of worms, but allows for some complex

Re: [CODE4LIB] institutional fair use policies for digitized image collections

[Genny Engel]

My favorite source for this kind of information is the Library of Congress, 
home to both the partly-digitized and publicly viewable Prints & Photographs 
Collection, and the U.S. Copyright Office.

They have posted a lengthy discussion, with links to many other resources:
http://www.loc.gov/rr/print/195_copr.html

See section 3 for how the Library itself determines which images to display 
publicly.  The implication is that they do a rights analysis for everything 
they post (!) but you might want to contact them by email or phone to inquire 
further.  http://www.loc.gov/rr/askalib/ask-print.html

I'm working with some folks at my institution to open up policy on
fair use and online digital collections. Our counsel has made it clear
that we'll see more success if we can point to examples from other
large digital collections. A lot of surveying of copyright and TOS
pages from many online collections has given me a good general idea
what collection posters are telling their patrons about fair use, but
I need some examples of what administrators are telling the collection
posters about what they can and can't claim (esp. in regards to
collections open to the world that may contain large numbers of orphan
works). It does seem clear that many have decided that a
low-resolution digital image of a collection item (even if that item
might be in copyright) is ok w/in the spirit of fair use if it's
clearly posted for educational purposes. I just need some
documentation of that policy.

What I'm hoping to find is documentation (internal or otherwise) that
basically states, "we think it's legally ok (for fair use or other
reasons) to post online a digitized image of a collection object even
if there's a chance that object is under copyright protection."

If there is any chance you could point me in the direction of such
documentation or someone who would know how to locate it I would be

Presentations

HTML5 Apps, APIs, and the Mobile Platform
- Jason Clark, Head of Digital Access and Web Services, Montana State
University Libraries

With features like geolocation, voice input, and offline data storage,
HTML5 is changing the way we can develop for the mobile platform.
We'll take a close look at a prototype mobile web app, BookMeUp, a
book recommender tool built with some of the newest features of HTML5
coupled with the Amazon Product Advertising API. The session will
focus on some of the cutting edge features HTML5 has to offer, but
will look to ways you might use HTML5 in your mobile development
today.

Handheld Tube Tours:  Increasing orientation engagement with viral
videos and mobile devices
- Sean Cordes
Instruction Services Coordinator, Western Illinois University Libraries

Library orientation tours are helpful, but for many students, if
you’ve seen one service point, you’ve seen them all. This presentation
describes the practice of incorporating the You Tube viral video
format with handheld devices to energize and engage students during
library orientation tours. Topics include best practices for creating
viral library content, and triumphs and challenges of using handheld
devices to support library orientation tours including device
availability, connectivity, sequencing content, and pacing the
handheld supplemented tour.

JISC m-libs - a UK academic library perspective
- Jo Alcock, Researcher, Evidence Base at Birmingham City University

The JISC Mobile Infrastructure for Libraries programme is a series of
projects in UK supporting initiatives that utilise mobile computing in
academic libraries. The presentation will give a brief overview of the
institutional projects, and discuss the broader community support
project which aims to help support and engage the emerging m-library
community by reviewing and synthesising existing research and
evidence-based guidance.

Using paper prototyping to determine mobile platform requirements
- David Brightbill, Manager of Research and Development, College
Center for Library Automation, FL

At CCLA, We’re currently doing some paper prototyping around potential
mobile applications for our discovery tool .  We are looking at mobile
apps that support the student research process and are in a very early
stage of this but have identified a few potential topics that we hope
to examine in student focus groups in the new year.

WordPress Mobile Piug-ins
- Sharon Whitfield, Emerging Technologies Librarian, The College of New Jersey

WordPress is primarily known as an open source blogging platform, but
it’s actually capable of much more.  One of the areas that Wordpress
has been improving is with mobile website and app creation.   There
are presently 126 plug-ins that support mobile website creation
including tools that can post, manage, and edit your website from your
mobile device.  Why guess which plug-ins will work for you?  Join us
for this presentation and learn the best plug-ins to make your
WordPress site, mobile friendly.

[CODE4LIB] Still one programmer job available on the Variations on Video project at Indiana

[Notess, Mark H]

Five reasons you should apply for this job:

1. It's an exciting multi-institutional open-source project, using
Hydra/Fedora & Opencast Matterhorn, and following the agile scrum
methodology (yeah, that's all one reason). http://www.variationsonvideo.org

2. Bloomington Indiana is a cool place to live. It's nothing like Pawnee
in the Parks and Recreation TV series. How many Tibetan restaurants can
*you* walk to for lunch? http://bloomingtontech.com/life-in-bloomington

3. Indiana University (IU) professional staff *start* with 30 days' paid
vacation per year, on top of the usual holidays.
http://jobs.indiana.edu/benefits.html

4. Bloomington is relatively inexpensive, with public transportation,
short commutes, and lots of bikes. We have our own breweries, a winery,
and even our own wiki. http://www.bloomingpedia.org

5. IU is internationally known for our library and for our IT
infrastructure. In fact, our president used to be our CIO.

10-15 minutes) survey for Drupal developers who are based in, or work
primarily for, library environments of all types.

http://www.zoomerang.com/Survey/WEB22E9TCFXQ3H

We'll report the results out at the IG meeting at ALA Midwinter, Saturday,

Actually, an RSVP would be very helpful. Gelman Library is not open to the 
public, so our front desk staff usually refer to a guest list before allowing 
anyone from outside the university to enter. I have informed them about the 
meeting, so I will get you in even if your name isn't on the list, but it would 
be easier on them if they were already expecting you and had your name. So if 
you're thinking about attending please go ahead and let me know, so I can give 
them at least a partial list of attendees before the meeting starts.

[Ross Singer]

Well, I had hoped nobody would notice its absence. I hadn't bothered to
migrate it from its old host to my new one, mainly because it's an old,
unpatched Drupal instance and I don't have the time or interest in spending
what feels like 10 hours/week keeping Drupal up-to-date.

That said, I'd like to make the content still available.  Anybody have any
recommendations on what I can migrate to that I can basically just load the
content and ignore it?
