[CODE4LIB] HA Setups

I had a quick question about HA Setups. I plan to host a WordPress site and wanted to hear what yall were using. I plan to have one HAProxy Server (maybe grow to 2 and implement round robin and heartbeat sync down the road), two Web Servers, two NFS Servers, and two MySQL Servers. My plan is to

Re: [CODE4LIB] College Question!

Hi Riley, My absolute favorite thing about librarianship is that almost everything I have learned has the potential to be useful and I never know what little titbit of knowledge is going to be necessary on any given day. Also, the things I learned in school aren't necessarily the things I need to

Re: [CODE4LIB] College Question!

Yes, definitely get a job on a library service desk! "Just circulation" is great. Circ is often where patrons go first when they have a question, comment or complaint. As a result, circ people know the collection, what patrons are interested in, and what problems they have, probably better than

Re: [CODE4LIB] College Question!

Hi Riley, I agree with most of the responses already provided. My personal background: I have a BA in Computer Science with minors in English and Business and my MLS. Currently, my official job title is "IT Application Engineer" and my job is to look after the ILS. Unlike a lot of other places, t

Re: [CODE4LIB] College Question!

Riley, As an undergrad, I studied music, religion, and English. I got my MLIS after realizing that, out of my three majors, not a single one was employable. If I'd known at the time that I'd enjoy teaching myself to code, I would have just done that and skipped the MLIS. As many people have menti

Re: [CODE4LIB] Storyline or Scavenger Hunt Software

I've done a simple scavenger hunt with Google forms and JQuery mobile, which was pretty quick to put together. We used the library's iPads for this. It also required hand-scoring. I'd be interested to know if there's anything more robust out there. Sarah On Fri, May 30, 2014 at 9:19 AM, Andreas

Re: [CODE4LIB] code4lib in San Diego?

Yeah, it's probably very unlikely that I would travel to LA for a meet up - I commuted to LA from SD for two years for school and haven't quite recovered from that. :) I mainly was hoping to connect with some more local library geeks for informal happy hour type get-togethers. Maybe we'll chat

Re: [CODE4LIB] College Question!

I have a BA in Music and the MLIS(union card), starting the Ph.D this fall. Even though an MLIS was not required for my job, I find it incredibly useful to know the language of librarians and be able to serve all the librarians I support to the best of my abilities. Without the MLIS I would feel le

Re: [CODE4LIB] Storyline or Scavenger Hunt Software

I built a digital scavenger hunt years ago at a previous library for online resources, but nothing for physical resources. For my app I eased the coding burden by using a mac app called Hype for a lot of the animations and interactivity. That kept me to coding the quizzes, mailer and such. Best re

Re: [CODE4LIB] Storyline or Scavenger Hunt Software

We did something like this. We looked at SCVNGR and rejected it due to its wacky cost model and limited feature set. (And stupid name.) We ended up doing something with ipods that the library maintains, shared Evernote accounts, and a Google spreadsheet. Requires hand-scoring, but works really wel

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 The project I'm trying to get done is conceptually simple (but I am lazy). I suspect someone's already done this and will avoid doing any work if I can. I'm embarking on an ideally web based app that allows users to play a scavenger game in the librar

Re: [CODE4LIB] College Question!

I got a BA in Anthropology, made my millions, heh heh, then got my MLS about 10 years later. No, but Karen is right, I constantly use what I learned about cultural anthropology in my job as a librarian. My place of work is currently hiring a library systems administrator and we don’t require an ML

[CODE4LIB] Touchscreen approach to JournalTocs & CrossRef

Hi, we just released some early code for a responsive design interface to the JournalTocs and CrossRef APIs, running in our intranet on a huge touchscreen besides the "new journals" shelf. Whenever I peek around the corner, our scholars seem to enjoy it so far. If anyone is interested in cont

Solr with Koha? Now you have 2 problems. I setup Koha to use Blacklight. I was fairly easy.It's been awhile, but if I recall, I added a single-column table in Koha to queue bibkeys. Then I added a db trigger to the bib table to add bibkeys to the queue table whenever there was an create/update/del
