Re: [CODE4LIB] flip book
Google has an image search function. I has already spidered a huge number of sites. It honors a site's robots.txt directives (wget can be made to ignore robots.txt). Results can be limited to a specific site or domain. https://www.google.com/search?q=site:nd.edutbm=isch -Andy -Original Message- From: Code for Libraries [mailto:CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU] On Behalf Of Eric Lease Morgan Sent: Monday, November 18, 2013 1:53 PM To: CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU Subject: [CODE4LIB] flip book I want to create a sort of flip book with the images from a website. How? Here's the idea. Suppose, just like a book, I could flip through the pages of a website to peruse the images it contains. How could I create this? Hmmm... How about: 1. mirror the website locally (with to something like wget) 2. traverse the mirror looking for image (*.jpeg, *.gif, *.png, etc.) files 3. create a list of images and URLs where they reside 4. present a Web interface allowing the reader to flip through list, and when they 5. find an image of interest allow them to click on it to see the image in context Such a tool would provide means for thoroughly browsing a website. - Eric Lease Morgan

[CODE4LIB] Call for Papers: Weave Journal of Library User Experience
Please feel free to share on other appropriate listservs, blogs, and with colleagues. - Weave is a peer-reviewed, open access, web-based publication featuring articles on user experience design for librarians and professionals in related fields. Our editorial board consists of recognized experts in the field of library UX, and our editorial philosophy is to strive for a balance between theoretical and practical topics. As the importance of digital services begins to rival that of collections, library user experience is taking a more central role than ever. While new jobs are being created for User Experience librarians and some departments are being renamed User Experience teams, there is still no comprehensive, rigorous publication for library UX professionals to share with and learn from their colleagues. Weave is intended to fill that gap. Weave helps practitioners and theorists come together to make libraries better. We are looking for two kinds of work: 1. Full length, scholarly articles of relevance to UX in libraries. We are interested in publishing innovative and cutting edge research, practical applications and their implications, and ideas and speculation about future directions for UX. Interested writers should review our instructions for authors ( http://ojs.scholarlypublishing.org/index.php/weave/about/submissions#authorGuidelines) before submitting articles online. 2. The Dialog Box, a new kind of review section. Weave's Dialog Box aims to extend beyond the traditional book review section and feature critical dialog not only with books but with other media that set the boundaries of library user experience. Because we aim to encourage creativity, our submission requirements are flexible. But all Dialog Box features will start from and engage an existing artifact relevant to library UX. Interested writers should review our Dialog Box submission requirements ( http://ojs.scholarlypublishing.org/index.php/weave/about/submissions#dialogbox) before sending pitches to dial...@weaveux.org. Submissions can be uploaded at: http://weaveux.org Unless otherwise noted, all content in Weave UX is distributed under a Creative Commons Attribution license (CC-BY: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/) in order to allow for the greatest possible dissemination of our authors' work.
