Re: [CODE4LIB] NCIP path on a Millennium server

[Ian Chan]

Thanks Kyle, we are acquiring the DCB product but are having some issues with 
NCIP agencyIDs. Sorry, I probably should have specified DCB server instead of 
Millennium. I'm hoping we can use a relay between systems to modify the 
agencyID as appropriate. I'll definitely keep in mind the need for responses to 
all NCIP messages originating from the DCB.

Best,

Ian

One thing I forgot to mention is that their NCIP is an all or nothing
proposition -- you do not enable individual NCIP services at the III end.
This means that valid responses need to be sent in response to everything
(even if they only perform a null op at the responder end) or the system
will keep trying to resend the request.

[CODE4LIB] Job: Contract Programmer, Repository Registry at Orbis Cascade Alliance

[jobs]

Contract Programmer, Repository Registry
Orbis Cascade Alliance
Eugene

The Orbis Cascade Alliance seeks a qualified programmer to perform the
following work by 2014 September 30 through a Personal Services Contract with
the Alliance.

  
**Description of Overall Project**  
The Archive Engine West grant began 2011 October 1 as the Cross-Search and
Context Utility and was scheduled to conclude on 2013 December 31. Although
the aims of the Archive Engine West grant have largely been fulfilled, there
is a strong a need to better integrate into the Alliance's Strategic Agenda.
Thus, the extension project addresses infrastructure, digital content
metadata, preparing to potentially become a DPLA Service Hub, and integration
with the Orbis Cascade Alliance's Strategic Agenda and new organizational
structure. The grant extension concludes of 2014 December 31.

  
**Scope of Work**  
Create a sustainable infrastructure for repository records used by AEW and
NWDA's EAD infrastructure. To be completed by 2014 September 30 based on
existing specifications (see below).

  
**Qualifications**  
Skilled at modern web programming standards and UI design. Experienced in
ASP.NET and the C# language. Knowledge of the Windows Internet Information
Server as a platform for ASP-based interfaces. Demonstrated knowledge of XML
as well as digital library metadata standards and systems.

  
Demonstrated record of trustworthiness and completing projects on time and at
or under budget through contacts with past clients.

Evidence of adequate liability insurance.

  
**Compensation**  
Negotiated

  
Application: Due by close of business August 1, 2014 to Jodi Allison-Bunnell,
jod...@orbiscascade.org

  
Letter of application that includes a not to exceed price for the project

Portfolio of projects completed

Three client references


**Specifications**  
Objective: Create a sustainable infrastructure for repository records used by
AEW and NWDA's EAD infrastructure.

  
Timeline: To be completed by 2014 September 30.

  
Repository records storage and management is a new module
for the NWDA utility site, a password-protected site accessible only to
members at https://nwda.orbiscascade.org/tools/Login.aspx. The members
currently use the tools linked to this site to validate and upload their
Encoded Archival Description (EAD)-based finding aid documents to the NWDA
back-end database. After the work described here is
completed, NWDA members should be able to log into the utility site and edit
their repository records as well, then have that information be displayed for
all their finding aids on the NWDA site, http://nwda.orbiscascade.org.

  
Repository records are currently encoded via embedded XML elements into each
XML-based EAD document hosted on the NWDA site. Keeping this information
complete and up to date for each individual document is a maintenance issue
that limits the usefulness and accuracy of the metadata. The aim of this
project is to move from this approach to a more flexible and easily maintained
one that produces better user outcomes. Once the repository
records are in a central registry, the XSLT stylesheet for rendering the EAD
documents to HTML will reference the registry records
instead of the encoded information in the EADs.

  
The production utility site is hosted on a dedicated hardware server running
the Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard operating system. The
web server is Microsoft IIS 7 and the site software is written in Microsoft C#
and ASP.NET. Perl, PHP, Python, Javascript, and SQLite are
used as back-end scripts and support for some functions and can be used for
this project as well, if desired. The original development
environment was and continued support has been done with
Visual Studio 2010 Professional.

  
The source code for the utility site will be provided to the developer for
installation on an appropriate local server available to them, with the
expectation that the code for the repository registry will be developed
against this and then returned for integration into the production code
base. Documentation, both external to and within source
code, will be provided by the developer.

  
Repository records should contain the following fields:

• Name of repository with parent institution (e.g. Heritage Resources, Western
Washington University)

• Email

• URL of repository

• Phone number

• Fax number

• Complete mailing address: address, city, state, ZIP

• Narrative for planning an in-person research visit OR URL to website that
provides this information

• Narrative that provides an overview of collection and collection strengths
OR URL to website that provides this information

• Narrative that describes how researchers request copies OR URL to website
that provides this information

• Institutional logo

  
The data listed above has already been collected from NWDA members.

  
The repository records should be constructed such that they can be referenced
by XSLT stylesheets for display as t

Re: [CODE4LIB] NCIP path on a Millennium server

[Joseph Montibello]

Hi,

We run Innovative Millennium and it supports NCIP requests as part of our 
BorrowDirect consortium, which is mostly non-Innovative libraries. (The 
product/addon we bought from III might be a modified version of the Direct 
Consortial Borrowing product that Kyle mentions.) It’s probably more accurate 
to say that the product supports a subset of NCIP - certainly not the whole 
standard. 

I’ve done a bunch of playing with our NCIP responder. If you have something 
similar from III, you should really check whether NCIP requests will be 
accepted and acted on from anywhere. It took us a while to get protection in 
place so that we’d only accept NCIP requests from IP addresses we whitelisted. 
The URL where RESTful NCIP requests are accepted (from our whitelisted IP 
addresses) is

http://129.170.20.40/iii/nciprelais/Restful

and I did all my testing by using curl/wget to POST the xml-formatted NCIP 
request to that URL. We did have a specific port assigned, but that disappeared 
when we set up access controls.

Hope this helps,

Re: [CODE4LIB] NCIP path on a Millennium server

[Michael Price]

Hey Ian,
The INN-Reach Circulation Daemon runs on 6601 so I might try that first.
However, Kyle is right -- I grilled them on this about a year ago
interested in ILLiad/Ares integration and they don't really support NCIP
for customer implementations. They plan to with Sierra after which it may
be available as a 'product' for Millennium.

Good luck -- PM me if you need related info.

Re: [CODE4LIB] NCIP path on a Millennium server

[Kyle Banerjee]

AFAIK, Mil doesn't support NCIP. Rather, the library has to have purchased
the III's DCB product.

There is a project to allow Evergreen libraries to communicate with DCB via
NCIP at https://github.com/iNCIPit It works and is used by a few libraries.

This will contain information both connection and the specific NCIP syntax
you will need .

[CODE4LIB] NCIP path on a Millennium server

[William Denton]

It looks almost the same, but there's a new version of Planet Code4Lib live:

http://planet.code4lib.org/

Changes:

- many new feeds added (more are welcome! let me know)
- feeds without updates in 1001 days were removed
- complete configuration is at https://github.com/code4lib/planetcode4lib
- it's using Venus (https://github.com/rubys/venus)

Thanks to Ryan Wick for getting me access to the server.

I think it's all working ... the final thing is to make sure the cron job is 
working so there are regular updates, and I'll see how that goes as new items 
show up today.  If anyone notices any problems, let me know.


Is anyone interested in doing a better theme?  Planet Emacsen has my favourite:

http://planet.emacsen.org/

Each entry looks like vanilla Emacs.  If you're an Emacs user, this is 
hilariously funny.  Maybe we could have a theme where every entry looked like it 
was written on a library card or in a book or something?
