[CODE4LIB] SFX broken link reports and Razorgate

[RCH Library]

Dear all,

I posted this question on SFX-DISCUSS-L; the only response was a suggestion 
that I ask here ...

Broken link report emails from our SFX instance are not getting through our 
network spam filter – RazorGate. Our IT support person is convinced there's no 
way for them to get through; RazorGate simply "doesn't like the look of them" 
and blocks them.

I know the links work, because I've set up a gmail account to receive them, and 
have them forwarded to me from there, and I can get them that way.

It seems crazy to have to do that though.

Is anyone else using RazorGate and can you get these broken link reports from 
SFX? How did you convince RazorGate to let them through?

Cheers,
Vicki.

The following is NOT legal advice, please consult your legal department in 
depth.

Now that my disclaimer is out of the way

you utilize the in place playback mechanisms given by vevo (embeding a YouTube 
video) for example that is perfectly legit, unless you are prohibited from 
hosting an aggregate site under YouTube/Vevo's ToS (you likely are) Now some 
streaming services prohibit embeds so this isn't an option but you can still 
link to the content source for example (which may still violate ToS, but this 
may not be legally enforceable) Now at the end of the day it all comes down to 
how the content is licensed to the viewer/consumer and weather the terms are 
legal under your jurisdiction laws or are within the terms of existing 
agreements. And most importantly weather you are considered a distributor or 
not under the terms of the agreement and the laws in your jurisdiction.

I come at this after spending the day dealing with MS Client/Server Licensing, 
so I maybe being a little conservative. But better safe than sorry in many 
cases.

Hello,

What about websites that stream their content for free like Vevo? Would making 
that type of content accessible in a more organized manner be acceptable? Or 
would that be considered circumvention? I don't plan on doing that, I only plan 
on making Public domain content accessible but the questions of organizing 
material from abc.com or Fox news has come up. Since I'm certain that these 
commercial websites would love to have subscription services for Libraries, the 
legal issues are very interesting.

First: Technically when you stream a video a portion of the video is local, so 
it wouldn't necessarily be legal for the viewer either.

Second: Regardless of legality streaming copyrighted content without a license 
or payment is a morally grey area. And most AUP at universities specifically

I always err on the side of caution with this sort of stuff. Licensing is

Hello,

Is streaming (viewing online) copyrighted material illegal for individuals. 
According to the copyright.gov website this seems to be completely legal for 
the viewer when there isn't a copy of the work on the viewers computer. It only 
mentions hosting streams as being a misdemeanor, even if there isn't any profit.

This is becoming a huge issue as more content consumers become cord cutters. 
Has any librarians faced these questions?

I am planning on implementing Kodi in my library, but will only make public 
domain material accessible. Kodi provides an excellent user interface for 
organizing and viewing public domain material.

[CODE4LIB] CALL for OR2015 Scholarship Programme Applicants

[Michael J. Giarlo]

The Tenth International Conference on Open Repositories (
http://www.or2015.net/) , OR2015, will take place on June 8-11, 2015 in
Indianapolis (Indiana, USA). The organizers are pleased to invite you to
apply to the 2015 Scholarship Programme.

The Open Repositories Steering Committee is delighted to announce that for
OR2015 we will again be running our Scholarship Programme. This programme
will enable us to provide support for a small number of full registered
places for the 2015 conference in Indianapolis. The programme is open to
librarians, repository managers, developers, and researchers in digital
libraries and related fields. Applicants submitting a paper for the
conference will be given priority consideration for funding (please provide
details of your submission in the application form).

Two questions in the application form ask 'What is it about Open
Repositories that interests you' and 'What do you expect to gain from
attending the conference?' You may wish to prepare answers to these before
completing the form, as the responses to these will be critical to the
success of your application.

Please note: the Scholarship provides funding only for a full conference
registration (including dinner and the poster reception). It does not cover
other costs such as accommodation, travel, and subsistence. It is
anticipated that the applicant's home institution will provide financial
support to supplement the OR Scholarship Award.

Application Form http://goo.gl/Vv03F4 (via GoogleDocs)

The deadline for applications is 30 January 2015.

Read it online: http://www.or2015.net/scholarship-programme/

LOOKING BACK, MOVING FORWARD: OPEN REPOSITORIES AT THE CROSSROADS

OR2015 is the tenth OR conference, and this year's overarching theme
reflects that milestone: Looking Back/Moving Forward: Open Repositories at
the Crossroads. It is an opportunity to reflect on and to celebrate the
transformative changes in repositories, scholarly communication, and
research data over the last decade. More critically however, it will also
help to ensure that open repositories continue to play a key role in
supporting, shaping, and sharing those changes and an open agenda for
research and scholarship.

OR2015 will provide an opportunity to explore the demands and roles now
expected of both repositories and the staff who develop, support, and
manage them - and to prepare them for the challenges of the next decade. We
welcome proposals on this theme, but also on the theoretical, practical,
organizational, or administrative topics related to digital repositories.

[CODE4LIB] Code4Lib Journal Call for Proposals : Special Issue on Diversity in Library Technology

[Heidi Elaine Dowding]

The Code4Lib Journal (C4LJ) exists to foster community and share
information among those interested in the intersection of libraries,
technology, and the future.

We are now accepting proposals for publication in our 28th issue, a special
issue on diversity in library technology.  Discussions on the Code4Lib
listserv and keynotes by Valerie Aurora and Sumana Harihareswara at
Code4Lib 2014 show that diversity is a topic of ongoing importance to the
Code4Lib community.  A recent editorial
 in the Code4Lib Journal by Ron
Peterson originally sparked discussion of the idea for a special issue
among the journal’s editorial committee; the demographic breakdown of both
the author community and the committee itself laid bare the fact that
diversity is a major challenge even in communities that are highly
supportive.  With this in mind, the C4LJ editorial committee hopes that
this special issue will further the conversation around this important
topic, while also encouraging a greater diversity amongst the Journal’s
contributors for this and future issues.

C4LJ encourages creativity and flexibility, and the editors welcome
submissions across a broad variety of topics that support the mission of
the journal.  Possible topics could include, but are not limited to:

- Building diverse technology teams

- Implementing a code of conduct and/or assessing its efficacy

- Designing for accessibility

- Partnerships to foster inclusivity in the field

- Library tech programming for underserved populations

- Inclusive project management and communication

- Surfacing diverse items in digital libraries

- Digital projects involving outreach to diverse communities

C4LJ strives to promote professional communication by minimizing the
barriers to publication. While articles should be of a high quality, they
need not follow any formal structure.  Writers should aim for the middle
ground between blog posts and articles in traditional refereed journals.
Where appropriate, we encourage authors to submit code samples, algorithms,
and pseudo-code.  For more information, visit C4LJ's Article Guidelines or
browse articles from the first 26 issues published on our website:
http://journal.code4lib.org.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to share your ideas and experiences.  To
be included in the 28th issue, which is scheduled for publication in April
2015, please submit articles, abstracts, or proposals at http://journal.
code4lib.org/submit-proposal or to jour...@code4lib.org by January 12,
2015. When submitting, please include the title or subject of the proposal
in the subject line of the email message and the acceptance of the
Journal’s US CC-By 3.0 license
 in the body of the
message.  The editorial committee will review all proposals and notify
those accepted by January 19, 2015.  Please note that submissions are
subject to rejection or postponement at any point in the publication
process as determined by the Code4Lib Journal’s editorial committee.

Send in a submission.  Your peers would like to hear what you are doing.
