Re: [CODE4LIB] using drupal for a document repository

[Tom Cramer]

Kelsey,

If you’re looking for a web-based app where you can capture metadata, store 
files, and find and retrieve them again, Drupal seems totally workable. But I 
think the issue that might concern me most about using Drupal for a document 
repository is that it’s relatively fluid. In my experience document 
repositories last a good decade or more and migrating them is a pain, and not 
undertaken lightly. Drupal evolves relatively quickly, and persistence isn’t 
one of it’s focal points. (This is why Fedora is Islandora’s special sauce, 
from a Drupal perspective.)

If you are interested in Hydra-in-a-Box, there will be some (doubtless 
smashing) presentations and maybe even a demo at Open 
Repositories
 next month. There is much work left to do, but it’s beginning to take shape.

In addition to the videos Mark cited, we’re sending regular updates to the 
Hydra lists; you might find 
hydra-t...@googlegroups.com or 
hydra-commun...@googlegroups.com worth 
joining. (Cary—you might also like to join if you’d like to keep current. We 
have a good set of discussions and information exchange going on with many in 
the Islandora community.)

Best,

- Tom

To be clear, Hydra-in-a-box is in the planning stage at this point, and

metadata management issues, but exactly how that will happen is not yet
defined.

The good news is that both Islandora, the tool I work with, and Hydra will
be moving to Fedora 4, and that will make them both easier to use in many
respects. In fact, they should become interoperable.

Thanks,

Hydra-In-A-Box is meant to provide the benefits of Hydra but would
actually
be easy to install (i.e. not requiring a software developer on staff)

Hi code4lib,
I was hoping to get some input on this. My small, scrappy institution is
considering using drupal as a repository, primarily via the Biblio
module.

Obviously this is not ideal, but for reasons I won't get into, our tech
environment won't support ePrints or dspace, and hosted services are
not an
option either. We do not really have the level of technical expertise
required to support any fedora-based applications, and cannot hire any
additional support. There's a chance existing staff could stretch to get
there, but it would not be a pretty process.

With all that said, do any red flags come to mind? I looked through both
code4lib and drupal4lib listserv archives and poked around google, but
didn't find much evidence of anyone else using drupal in this way. Seems
suspicious. While my gut tells me it's a bad idea (metadata! standards!
preservation!), I'm having trouble articulating this to my group in a
way
that sticks, because using Biblio would be easy. I would appreciate
hearing
any other thoughts or opinions on this.

Re: [CODE4LIB] using drupal for a document repository

[Erica FINDLEY]

Good evening,

Our system is based on Drupal although it was optimized for images and not
documents. We are currently working on a better document display. This did
require several hours of development so I am not sure it is what you were
asking for exactly. If you want to know more about the inner workings of it
I can put you in touch with someone to answer questions.

Re: [CODE4LIB] using drupal for a document repository

[Cary Gordon]

You can build a peachy document repository in Drupal. This will work fine if 
you have a small collection, say less than 10k items.

The issue is that it won’t scale. As a Drupal fanboy, I would love to see an 
all Drupal solution work, but, at least at this point, it doesn't.

We work with Islandora, which puts a Drupal front-end on Fedora. OOTB, 
Islandora is weighted towards the Fedora side, but the community has been 
working to move the balance to do more in Drupal. This will be easier once 
Islandora completes its move to Fedora 4.

FWIW, we offer Islandora in a hosted and fully supported service package that 
we call LibraryDAMS.

Thanks,

Cary

Re: [CODE4LIB] using drupal for a document repository

[Cary Gordon]

To be clear, Hydra-in-a-box is in the planning stage at this point, and has not 
AFAIK, begun development. While planning to offer a much friendlier install 
than earlier incarnations of Hydra, is still a Fedora-based solution, and won’t 
come with a Fedora-expert-in-the-box. It will address metadata management 
issues, but exactly how that will happen is not yet defined.

The good news is that both Islandora, the tool I work with, and Hydra will be 
moving to Fedora 4, and that will make them both easier to use in many 
respects. In fact, they should become interoperable.

Thanks,

Cary

Re: [CODE4LIB] using drupal for a document repository

[Kerchner, Daniel]

Although you might not have the level of technical expertise required to
support Fedora-based applications in their current incarnations, you might
want to keep an eye on progress on the Hydra-In-A-Box project.
Hydra-In-A-Box is meant to provide the benefits of Hydra but would actually
be easy to install (i.e. not requiring a software developer on staff)
and/or can be used as a hosted solution.  I think a major driver is to
provide a solution that is just as much an option for "small, scrappy
institutions" :)

[CODE4LIB] using drupal for a document repository

[Kelsey Williamson]

Hi code4lib,
I was hoping to get some input on this. My small, scrappy institution is
considering using drupal as a repository, primarily via the Biblio module.

Obviously this is not ideal, but for reasons I won't get into, our tech
environment won't support ePrints or dspace, and hosted services are not an
option either. We do not really have the level of technical expertise
required to support any fedora-based applications, and cannot hire any
additional support. There's a chance existing staff could stretch to get
there, but it would not be a pretty process.

With all that said, do any red flags come to mind? I looked through both
code4lib and drupal4lib listserv archives and poked around google, but
didn't find much evidence of anyone else using drupal in this way. Seems
suspicious. While my gut tells me it's a bad idea (metadata! standards!
preservation!), I'm having trouble articulating this to my group in a way
that sticks, because using Biblio would be easy. I would appreciate hearing
any other thoughts or opinions on this.

Thanks!

[CODE4LIB] Visual Analytics with D3.js (online class)

[Rory Litwin]

Visual Analytics with D3.js

Instructor: Olga Buchel
Dates: June 6 to July 1, 2016
Credits: 1.5 CEUs
Price: $175

http://libraryjuiceacademy.com/104-visual-analytics.php


Visual analytics is a special form of visualization that implies that
visual representations (e.g., charts, maps, graphs, tables and so on)
should be interactive (i.e. users should be able to change them: filter,
animate, select and perform other manipulations). Interactive visual
representations (such as time series graphs, time maps, animated charts)
are becoming popular additions to library websites and catalogs. They are
used for showing statistics about library usage and telling stories about
library services and collections. This 4-week workshop introduces
participants to D3.js (Data-Driven Documents), one of the fastest growing
JavaScript-based open-source visualization libraries that allows web site
designers to create interactive visualizations. Participants will also
learn how to adapt existing open-source representations available in D3.js
library for their own needs. Some comfort with JavaScript is assumed.

Olga Buchel holds a PhD in Library and Information Science from the
University of Western Ontario. Her specialization is in geodigital
libraries, having worked at the Alexandria Digital Library, one of the
first libraries to offer geospatial searches. For her dissertation she
developed an interactive visualization for a book collection. She has
taught on geodigital libraries at the University of Western Ontario.


This is an online class that is taught asynchronously, meaning that
participants do the work on their own time as their schedules allow. The
class does not meet together at any particular times, although the
instructor may set up optional sychronous chat sessions. Instruction
includes readings and assignments in one-week segments. Class participation
is in an online forum environment.

You can register in this course through the first week of instruction (as
long as it is not full). The "Register" button on the website goes to our
credit card payment gateway, which may be used with personal or
institutional credit cards. (Be sure to use the appropriate billing
address). If your institution wants us to send a billing statement or wants
to pay using a purchase order, please contact us by email to make

be held on November 6.

The DLF Liberal Arts College Preconference
 is created for those who
work with digital libraries and/or digital scholarship at liberal arts
colleges. The event is designed to foster conversation and build community,
both formally and informally. Participants do not need to be members of DLF
to attend.

We invite you to shape the preconference by nominating a keynote speaker or
submitting a proposal.

Call for Keynote Speaker

The planning committee is looking to the community to help nominate a
keynote speaker or speakers. The opening session will set the tone of the
preconference, and the planning committee particularly welcomes suggestions
for a speaker (or speakers!) who can explore the intersectionality of
digital library praxis and a liberal arts education. Please send us your
ideas via the following web form .

Call for Proposals

We invite proposals for panels, presentations, hands-on workshops,
make-hack-play sessions, and dork shorts that foster conversation,
connections, and provocation at the intersection of digital libraries and
the liberal arts. View the full-length CFP at <
www.diglib.org/forums/2016forum/dlflac/cfp>. Proposals are due by May 15 at
11:59 pm Pacific Time.

Not Able to Attend In Person?

On November 6, join the conversation by chiming in using the #dlfLAC

Twitter hashtag. After the preconference, we hope to make recording of
keynote speakers, panels, and presentations available for the community.

Sincerely,

Ryan Clement

On behalf of the 2016 DLF-LAC Planning Committee
