Re: [CODE4LIB] Anyone have a SUSHI client?

Tom, I'm glad you are getting some help from looking at my code. That was the reason I put it up. When I was designing a SUSHI client last year, there was virtually nothing available to show how to do it, so I was hoping sushi.py would prevent someone from having to stumble in the dark quite as

Re: [CODE4LIB] Why we need multiple discovery services engine?

Here at UMich, we do *not* yet load our catalog data into Summon. Partially because it's not at all clear that the patrons want books and articles "mixed" in that way, but mostly because we've worked really hard to customize the way relevancy and indexing works in our catalog, and we don't have tha

Re: [CODE4LIB] conf presenters: a kind request

I'm gonna add to this briefly, and probably a bit less tactfully than Jonathan :-) - My number-one complaint about past presentations: Don't have slides we can't read. "You probably can't read this, but..." isn't a helpful thing to hear during a presentation. Make it legible, or figure ou

Re: [CODE4LIB] Why we need multiple discovery services engine?

I think this pretty accurately reflects the sentiments at the University of North Carolina, one of NSCU's partners in developing the Endeca interface to our catalog. It's as much a mechanism for delivering services as it is for discovery, and as such reflects the physical nature of the collections

[CODE4LIB] conf presenters: a kind request

We are all very excited about the conference next week, to speak to our peers and to hear what our peers have to say! I would like to suggest that those presenting be considerate to your audience, and actually prepare your talk in advance! You may think you can get away with making some slide

Re: [CODE4LIB] Anyone have a SUSHI client?

Hi Joshua, I was mainly looking at your program, not for the code, but as a way to bring myself up to speed about current practices in modeling the COUNTER data. I'm trying to avoid reinventing something that has already been well thought through. I apologize for calling out your model. You have g

[CODE4LIB] Linked data [was: Why we need multiple discovery services engine?]

In mentioning "pushing to break down silos more," it brings to mind a question I've had about linked data. >From what I've read thus far, the idea of breaking down silos of information seems like a good one in that it makes finding information easier but doesn't it also remove some of the markers

Re: [CODE4LIB] Rdio playlist

Can't believe no one has yet mentioned Chicago band "I Fight Dragons" -- they mix NES-controller chiptunes with electric guitars, playing rockin' covers of Mario Bros., Legend of Zelda, Contra, etc. in addition to some originals that have been remixed by other Chicago musicians. They just got back

Re: [CODE4LIB] Anyone have a SUSHI client?

Tom, I am the guy who wrote sushi.py around this time last year. My apologies for the shabbiness of the code. It was meant to be primarily a proof of concept. It's definitely incomplete. I only completed the DB3 and JR1 report logic up to this point, but it would be easy enough to add other rep

Here at NCSU, we use our locally-hosted Endeca service for our catalog and Serials Solutions Summon as an article search solution. Why do this? 1. Our next-gen library catalog (Endeca) came first. This was before Solr hit the library world, and before library vendors started working on improving t

Re: [CODE4LIB] usability testing software

Depending what your budget there are a number of good web based services out there. This breakdown is pretty good although I only have firsthand experience with WebSort (free version) and Crazyegg. If all you need to capture is audio/video I know some people that have made due with Camtasia, which

Re: [CODE4LIB] Rdio playlist

A bit of a tangent, but this post (as well as the Layar one, and others) is exactly why I love code4lib. It really has nothing to do with code nor libraries and it wasn't handed down by conference organizers. Someone (Bill, in this case) thought it was a good idea, others would be interested, and j
