[CODE4LIB] SRU MARC fields with indicators
Hi all, I'm having some difficulties pulling records by MARC fields with indicators via SRU v1.1... and, not knowing where else to turn, I hope the good folks of the CODE4LIB community can help. (If there is a more appropriate place to seek assistance on this topic, please point me to it!) What I would like to do is retrieve records by the utility number in the 035 field where the first indicator is a 9: 0359#$autil_num The following query only pulls up those records where the two indicators are undefined: http://server:port/local_base?version=1.1operation=searchRetrievequery=marc.035=util_numstartRecord=1maximumRecords=15 So I figured I needed to add a marc.035:1=9 query so I edited pqf.properties to declare the new index: ... set.marc = info:srw/cql-context-set/1/marc-1.1 ... index.marc.035 = 1=1211 index.marc.035:1 = 1=1211 ... And then I tried the following search: http://server:port/local_base?version=1.1operation=searchRetrievequery=marc.035:1=9%20and%20marc.035=util_numstartRecord=1maximumRecords=15 However, this returns 0 results ... and I know there are matches so something's not right. (And I get 0 results when I search just for marc.035:1=9, which is also incorrect since there are dozens of records where 035 has a 9 as its first indicator.) What am I doing wrong? I'm new to the SRU protocol (and search protocols in general) so I'd greatly appreciate some assistance. Thank you!

[CODE4LIB] VPN EZ Proxy
Hi All, We use EZ Proxy for authentication and we always tell the staff who uses VPN to turn their VPN off so they can access our databases. Is this the right way? Looking for answers around and could not find any. I thought I would throw this in here. Thanks for feedbacks. Jay Dela Cruz
Re: [CODE4LIB] VPN EZ Proxy
It depends on your configuration. In our instance, EZProxy is configured so that 132.241.x.x represents on campus. Our VPN will give out 132.241.x.x IPs. So, if you use VPN, you are on campus in the eyes of EZProxy (and thus would not be prompted for authentication). So, basically what IPs is EZProzy including and what IPs does your VPN hand out is the key question.

Re: [CODE4LIB] VPN EZ Proxy
VPN does what EZProxy does already -- make web access appear to come from an on-campus address -- but for ALL web access, not just access that follows links from your web pages using EZProxy. This assumes outgoing traffic from users using the VPN will be on an IP address recognized as 'licensed' by your vendors, which it typically is. If people are using VPN's and happy with it, that's actually a MORE reliable solution than EZProxy. Rather than tell them to turn off your VPN, I would ensure you have EZProxy configured not to interfere with it, if possible. If they are on a VPN, and then ALSO go through EZProxy... it should _work_, but it'll hurt performance, as all traffic is effectively being sent through two proxies, for no reason. You should instead configure your EZProxy so when a client is on an IP Address recognized as the VPN, EZProxy simply redirects without proxying instead of double-proxying the traffic.

Re: [CODE4LIB] VPN EZ Proxy
This also depends on if your VPN is full tunnel or split tunnel. Here's my very, very simplified explanation: If full tunnel, users who are logged into the VPN shouldn't need to authenticate as traffic to the external resource should be seen as coming from 'on-campus'. If split tunnel, users who are logged into the VPN will need to authenticate because traffic directed to external sites will be using the IP address of the user (I believe). We had problems with this while our VPN was split tunnel. We had to set EZproxy to always authenticate users coming in from our VPNs IP address.

Re: [CODE4LIB] VPN EZ Proxy
You'll need to find out the IP address/range of the VPN. You can then use the IncludeIP directive to force users coming in on the VPN to always authenticate. A better solution may be to use the AutoLoginIP directive that was already suggested.

Re: [CODE4LIB] VPN EZ Proxy
Other than giving you one less option, it shouldn't really matter. Everything goes through EZProxy. Resources accessed through the VPN can be covered by authenticating the VPN IP range. Anything not coming through the VPN are authenticated by the means you normally use. Many, if not most, schools work this way, so you have plenty of company. As always, the canonical resource is the EZProxy mailing list.

Re: [CODE4LIB] VPN EZ Proxy
I would definitely not tell them to turn off VPN since asking them to break connections to machines, services, drives, etc is a barrier to service. Much better to make sure your config supports a reasonable workflow all patrons will expect than to ask them to do something nonintuitive. kyle On Thu, Oct 18, 2012 at 10:46 AM, Joselito Dela Cruz jdelac...@hodges.eduwrote: Hi All, We use EZ Proxy for authentication and we always tell the staff who uses VPN to turn their VPN off so they can access our databases.

Salary range: £37,937 - £44,059 p.a. 2 year fixed term contract An experienced programmer is required to design and implement technical solutions for the ORCID and DataCite Interoperability Network (ODIN) (www .odin-project.eu) ODIN is a two-year project financed by the European Commission, starting in September 2012. Partners of the ODIN project are innovators in information science, science and the publishing industry: The British Library, CERN, ORCID, DataCite, Dryad, arXiv and the Australian National Data Service. ODIN will build on the ORCID (orcid.org) and DataCite (datacite.org) initiatives to uniquely identify academics and digital research objects and connect this information across multiple services and infrastructures for scholarly communication. The project will create links between researchers and their digital research objects (datasets, journals etc.) and will enable tracking of use and re-use and help to gauge the impact of research activities. This post is based in the Social Science team and will develop a proof of concept to seamlessly connect information about social science datasets and their creators, re-use of datasets by researchers and published research and other outputs by academics and expose this information to allow further connections to be made by third parties through the ORCID and DataCite infrastructures. The successful candidate will take responsibility to deliver this proof of concept as well as contributing to the wider ODIN project through designing interoperability solutions for researcher and object identifiers and analysing the current landscape of infrastructures in scholarly communications. This is an opportunity to take ownership of an innovative project and see it through from design to implementation. The successful candidate will be a self-starter and able to work with minimal technical guidance, using their skills to develop technical solutions to identified problems. The post requires a strong understanding of information systems and a high proficiency in programming languages such as Java and Ruby.

Please take a look at the PKP project, specifically Open Conference System: http://pkp.sfu.ca/?q=ocs Synopsis: Open Conference Systems (OCS) is a free Web publishing tool that will create a complete Web presence for your scholarly conference. OCS will allow you to: - create a conference Web site - compose and send a call for papers - electronically accept paper and abstract submissions - allow paper submitters to edit their work - post conference proceedings and papers in a searchable format - post, if you wish, the original data sets - register participants - integrate post-conference online discussions You can also take OCS 2 out for a test drive on our serverhttp://pkp.sfu.ca/ocs2/demo/testdrive/. The login is admin and the password is testdrive. This installation will be regularly purged of all data, so please do not use it for anything other than making a short-term evaluation of the software. miles On Fri, Oct 19, 2012 at 7:40 AM, Gary McGath develo...@mcgath.com wrote: On 10/18/12 6:08 PM, Brian McBride wrote: Greeting!
