Re: [CODE4LIB] Public transport from RDU to Sheraton Raleigh and how safe is it?
I regularly take the 100 bus to get to and from RDU airport when I travel. It is my default for airport travel. The schedule doesn't always work for my flight times. Also note that I do not believe this bus runs on Sundays when many folks are probably going to be coming into town. If it works for your schedule, though, it is a good, cheap option. Triangle Transit buses are usually very clean and many have free wifi.

Hi Ed, I only have a second to respond, but we have digital content available in our Finding Aids site. You can view images (microfiche style), browse thumbnails, or download a PDF. Unfortunately, we don't have a viewer for AV content at the moment, but do link out to the files when we can.

Re: [CODE4LIB] archiving web pages
IMO, there are many web archiving situations where it is more appropriate to just focus on the content rather than the manifestation of the content. Just as you wouldn't expect a 1995 article from the NYT to be displayed as the website was in 1995 or an article in an online database to actually appear like it originally appeared online, it's the content rather than the skin that's relevant in the case of a newspaper. If you make sure it's in a format that can be migrated forward and added to standalone or union systems that provide access to this sort of stuff, you'll be fine. kyle On Tue, Jan 14, 2014 at 8:48 AM, Kathryn Frederick (Library) kfred...@skidmore.edu wrote: Hi, I'm trying to develop a strategy for preserving issues our school's online newspaper.

Re: [CODE4LIB] archiving web pages
Hi Kathryn, Right now the WARC format is considered the best preservation format for websites/social media, in terms of digital archives. It is our best guess right now. It will likely will be with us for a long time, because it has been adopted by most of the major players. The way I have seen WARCs served up is through Wayback, the manual version of the Internet Archive's Wayback machine. http://archive-access.sourceforge.net/projects/wayback/index.html I have only used Heritrix and Wayback together, so I haven't played with Wayback and WARCs made another way. I would stick with WARC in terms of preservation, access is another story...that would depend on budget, time, etc. Hope that helps.

Re: [CODE4LIB] links from finding aid to digital object
Hi Ed, At Pitt we're putting digital object identifiers into Archivists' Toolkit. We're doing folder-level digitization, except in rare cases. When the resultant EAD is transformed to HTML the identifier is wrapped into an actionable URL and the size of the linked document is retrieved to incorporate into the link text (some are many MB). Presentation is currently a direct link to a PDF bundle of the folder contents, but the plan is to eventually point to an object landing page with multiple viewing / download options and richer item-level information than would appear in the finding aid container list. We're also interested in the reverse linkage - from digitized manuscripts in a more general digital collections pool back to their specific collection context.

Re: [CODE4LIB] links from finding aid to digital object
Hi Ed, Apologies if any of my Stanford cohorts have informed you about the Bassi Veratti Collection Site ( http://bv.stanford.edu ) we created here last year using Blacklight. You can drill down into boxes and folders of each of the Series in the Content inventory ( http://bv.stanford.edu/en/inventory ). In each folder you will find thumbnails of various items that then link to a full description and digital image. We are hosting the EAD on GitHub if you're interested in looking at the original XML ( https://github.com/sul-dlss/bassi-ead-xml ). I would be more than happy to explain more about the background if it's useful.

Re: [CODE4LIB] archiving web pages
Thanks for the thoughtful responses. We've been actively digitizing our print paper (which ceased publication in 2011) and I was thinking of this as an extension of that effort. Right now, I think capturing a monthly WARC file of the site is definitely a good idea no matter what. But beyond that, as Kyle pointed out, it's not really the web site I'm after but the content. I'd like to present this content alongside print issues in our IR (currently ContentDM). In one sense, I can see doing a weekly capture of the site which would equate to an issue in the old format. But, I could also do a PDF of the content. A PDF makes sense to me in the context of a collection that is largely print-based and gets at what I want (keyword searchable content, authors, dates), but is it disingenuous to fundamentally alter the format? Plus there's the work involved... This may be a question for archivists, but I'm not one so would appreciate any additional thoughts from this group.

[CODE4LIB] Question about OAI Harvesting via Perl
Hi, I am a complete newbie to Perl (and to Code4Lib) and am trying to set up a harvester to get complete metadata records from oai-pmh repositories. My current approach is to use things already built as much as possible - specifically the Net::Oai::Harvester (http://search.cpan.org/~esummers/OAI-Harvester-1.0/lib/Net/OAI/Harvester.pm). The code I'm using is located in the synopsis and specific parts of it seem to work with some samples I've tried. For example, if I submit a request for a list of sets to the oai url for arXiv.org (http://arXiv.org/oai2) I get the correct list. The error I run into reads can't call listRecords() on an undefined value in *filename* line *#*. listRecords() seems to have been an issue in past iterations but I'm not sure how to get around it. At the moment it looks like this: ## list all the records in a repository my $list = $harvester-listRecords( metadataPrefix = 'oai_dc' ); Any help (or Perl resources) would be appreciated!

Re: [CODE4LIB] archiving web pages
As an archivist, I don't see any problem using a PDF. Technically it should be a PDF-A, but realistically it is usually a PDF. I have done projects where I used PDFs for the archiving of full websites. It can be quite handy, depending on needs of course. Sometimes it works with the look and feel/design, and sometimes it doesn't. Content is pretty good usually, in my experience. Do a test and see whether your site crashes your Adobe product...sometimes the code, special effects or just size can crash it without a PDF being made...Plus look at the levels you want captured, that can also cause a mess too.

Re: [CODE4LIB] links from finding aid to digital object
Finding aids at the Archives of American Art link to digitized content at the folder level from the container list, e.g. http://www.aaa.si.edu/collections/artist-tenants-association-records-7621/more. You can browse from item to item on the folder URL, but items themselves are not individually addressable.

Re: [CODE4LIB] links from finding aid to digital object
UNC has been doing this (linking) for several years and we recently borrowed (sincerest form of flattery) Duke's interface work to add thumbnails and inline views. We've got content for over 500 collections and well over half a million scans and growing. UNC and Duke are working on a full day pre-conf for the annual meeting this March in Raleigh: http://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php/2014_preconference_proposals#Archival_di scovery_and_use We're looking for topics as well as speakers!

Re: [CODE4LIB] Question about OAI Harvesting via Perl
Just out of curiosity, does it work for a little bit then stop working? I know arXiv throttle crawlers, and am not sure if they throttle oai-pmh clients. Simeon Warner who helps run arXiv has been know to post code4lib, so maybe this will cross his radar. In the meantime, could you share your harvesting script on gist.github.com or somewhere similar for us to take a look? //Ed On Jan 14, 2014, at 4:46 PM, Eka Grguric egrgu...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks for responding!

Re: [CODE4LIB] Question about OAI Harvesting via Perl
Hi,
have a look at the Catmandu framework for Perl.
Install Catmandu ( https://metacpan.org/pod/Catmandu) and Catmandu::OAI
( https://metacpan.org/pod/Catmandu::OAI).
# in the perl script:
use Catmandu::Importer::OAI;
my $importer = Catmandu::Importer::OAI-new(
url = ...,
metadataPrefix = ... , ); $importer-each(sub { my $hashref = $_[0];
# do something with $hashref... });
or directly from the command line:
$ catmandu convert OAI --url http://pub.uni-bielefeld.de/oai to JSON
(the arxiv oai interface seems to be very slow.)
There's also an importer for arxiv.org: Catmandu::ArXiv (
https://metacpan.org/pod/Catmandu::ArXiv)
Everything is also on github: https://github.com/LibreCat
Cheers,
Vitali

Hi,
I am a complete newbie to Perl (and to Code4Lib) and am trying to set up a
harvester to get complete metadata records from oai-pmh repositories. My
current approach is to use things already built as much as possible -
specifically the Net::Oai::Harvester
(http://search.cpan.org/~esummers/OAI-Harvester-1.0/lib/Net/OAI/Harvester.pm).
The code I'm using is located in the synopsis and specific parts of it seem to
work with some samples I've tried. For example, if I submit a request for a
list of sets to the oai url for arXiv.org (http://arXiv.org/oai2) I get the
correct list.
The error I run into reads can't call listRecords() on an undefined value in
*filename* line *#*. listRecords() seems to have been an issue in past iterations
but I'm not sure how to get around it.
At the moment it looks like this:
## list all the records in a repository
my $list = $harvester-listRecords(
metadataPrefix = 'oai_dc'
);
Any help (or Perl resources) would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Eka
