[CODE4LIB] New Release: Diva.js 4.0 (with IIIF support)

[Andrew Hankinson]

We’re pleased to announce a new version of our open-source document image 
viewer, Diva.js. Diva is an ideal for archival book digitization initiatives 
where viewing high-resolution images is a crucial part of the user experience. 
Using Diva, libraries, archives, and museums can present high-resolution 
document page images in a user-friendly “instant-on” interface that has been 
optimized for speed and flexibility.

In version 4.0 we’re introducing support for the International Image 
Interoperability Framework (IIIF). Through IIIF, Diva becomes part of a larger 
movement to enhance archival image collections through promoting sharing of 
these resources.

With 4.0 we’re also introducing the “Book Layout” view, presenting document 
images as openings, or facing pages. This will provide our users with a 
valuable way of visualizing document openings, providing more tools for viewing 
and understanding the structure of a digitized document.

Several demos are available at http://ddmal.github.io/diva.js/try/ 


Other improvements in 4.0 include:
• Improved integration with existing web applications
• New plugins: Autoscroll (animated page scrolling), Page Alias (pages 
may have multiple identifiers), IIIF Metadata (displays document metadata from 
IIIF manifest), IIIF Highlight (displays annotations from a IIIF manifest)
• Improved build system with Gulp
• Support for switching documents without reloading the viewer
• Numerous bug fixes and optimizations

For more information, demos, and documentation visit 
http://ddmal.github.io/diva.js/.

Diva.js is developed by the Distributed Digital Music Archives and Libraries 
laboratory, part of the Music Technology Area of the Schulich School of Music 
at McGill University and is funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities 
Research Council of Canada.

Well, I have to admit it didn't occur to me to re-count the parameters
because I expected a function called with the wrong number of *required*
parameters would throw a more useful error.

Thanks for the sharp eyes, and boy do I feel dumb about all the debugging I
tried to do to no avail... :)

Thanks, John. I've fixed it now. Can't have a major release announcement 
without *something* going wrong. ;)

[CODE4LIB] Re-opening Code4Lib 2016 Keynote Nominations until Friday

[Brett Bonfield]

The community did a great job of nominating potential keynote speakers
for the 2016 Code4Lib Conference in Philadelpha, and the Keynote
Committee has been contacting them for the past couple of weeks to
verify their availability and interest in speaking at the conference.
We don't yet have responses from everyone, but it looks like we have
fewer potential speakers for you to vote on than in past years, so
we're re-opening nominations through this Friday, September 11.

Who would you most like to see deliver the keynote? Please contribute
to the list:

http://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php/2016_Invited_Speakers_Nominations

To generate ideas, check out the nominees from previous years:

http://wiki.code4lib.org/Category:Code4Lib_Keynotes

Want to add to the list, but don't have a wiki account or want to
bother with setting one up? Please email your submission to either of
the Keynote Committee members listed below. We're also happy to answer
any questions about the nomination process.

Sincerely,

Brett Bonfield

[CODE4LIB] Call for Chapters

[Edward Iglesias]

​Hello All,

I am putting together a book for IGI on how libraries acquire technology.
The formal call can be seen at

http://www.igi-global.com/publish/call-for-papers/call-details/1942

I've also included it below for your plain text pleasure.  Please feel free
to contact me with any questions.

Edward Iglesias​



CALL FOR CHAPTER PROPOSALS
Proposal Submission Deadline: November 15, 2015
Library Technology Acquisition & Funding
A book edited by Edward Iglesias


To be published by IGI Global:

Introduction

Libraries purchase and use technology everyday.  From simple items like
printers and scanners to complex enterprise level products like Integrated
Library Systems and Discovery Layers libraries must plan, purchase and
deploy technology.  The way these products are purchased can vary greatly
by institution.

This book will look at case studies from a variety of libraries focusing on
how they make large technology purchases as well as their guiding
principles.  Certain questions are likely to be focused on.
• Are they only allowed to use certain vendors?
• Is it necessary to go though a formal RFP process?
• How do you build consensus?
• Where does the money come from?
• How will you sustain these purchases?


In this way it is hoped that lessons can be learned from institutions that
have successfully completed the purchasing of technology as well as those
that had challenges.

Objective of the Book
This book will be a compilation of case studies that will be a resource for
libraries as they pursue the purchase of technology as part of their
strategic goals.  The hope is that this will be a framework of what other
libraries have done leading to savings in time and money.

Target Audience
Librarians and staff involved in the purchase of technology for their
libraries.  Additionally students in Library School seeking top see what
awaits them.

Recommended topics include, but are not limited to the following:
Contributors are welcome to submit chapters on the following topics
relating to Technology Acquisition and Funding

- The RFP Process
- Budget allocations for technology
- Funding technology through grants
- Funding non traditional technology projects
- Approaches to technology planning


Submission Procedure
Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before November
15, 2015, a 2-3 page chapter proposal clearly explaining the mission and
concerns of his or her proposed chapter. Authors of accepted proposals will
be notified by December 15, 2015 about the status of their proposals and
sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by
February 28, 2016. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a
double-blind review basis. Contributors may also be requested to serve as
reviewers for this project.

Publisher
This book is scheduled to be published by IGI Global (formerly Idea Group
Inc.), publisher of the “Information Science Reference” (formerly Idea
Group Reference), “Medical Information Science Reference,” “Business
Science Reference,” and “Engineering Science Reference” imprints. For
additional information regarding the publisher, please visit

Re: [CODE4LIB] OCoLC conversion scripts?

[Nikitas Tampakis]

Based on https://www.oclc.org/batchload/controlnumber.en.html, this ruby 
function should get the job done:

def oclc_normalize oclc
  oclc_num = oclc.gsub(/\D/, '').to_i.to_s
  case oclc_num.length
  when 1..8
"ocm" + "%08d" % oclc_num
  when 9
"ocn" + oclc_num
  else
"on" + oclc_num
  end
end

examples:
oclc_normalize("(OCoLC)3851870") => ocm03851870
oclc_normalize("123456789") => ocn123456789
oclc_normalize("(OCoLC)1987654041") => on1987654041
oclc_normalize("42") => ocm0042


I'm actually currently working on stripping out all of the prefixes from the 
OCLC number to index into Solr. I wanted the number without any leading zeros, 
and that gets handled by the first line of the function.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Excel Code/Conditional Formatting Help

[Vernica Downey]

The following works in Excel 2010:

1) Select Conditional Formatting
2) Select Manage Rules
3) Select New Rule
4) Choose the last option, "Use a formula to determine which cells to format"
5) In the "Format values where this formula is true" box, type:

=COUNTIF($C:$C,$C1)>COUNTIFS($C:$C,$C1,$D:$D,$D1)
[assuming that the C column is the title and the D column is the series]

6) Click on the Format button and choose your desired formatting options
7) Click OK
8) In "Applies to" box, type:

=$A:$D 
[assuming that there are four columns--A-D]

9) Click Apply

This should apply conditional formatting to all of the rows where the titles 
are the same but the series name varies (e.g., the "Kindle Paperwhite for 
dummies", "Kindness goes unpunished", and "Kindred in death" rows in the 
provided selection).

The formula is looking for cases in which the number of rows that have the same 
title ("=COUNTIF($C:$C,$C1") is greater than the number of rows that have the 
same title and series name ("COUNTIFS($C:$C,$C1,$D:$D,$D1)").

I hope that this does the trick.
