Hi all code4lib-bers,
As coders and coding librarians, what is ONE tool and/or resource that you
recommend to newbie coders in a library (and why)? I promise I will create
and circulate the list and make it into a Code4Lib wiki page for collective
wisdom.

Tesseract is free, but in my experience, to make it work you usually
have to train up a model, though the model that comes with it seems to
be set up for scanning English book pages, so may be appropriate for
library use.

Did you mean Clozure? The other two are kinds of lisp. :-P

Unless you're in a very, *very* different library than mine, all the

If I'm hiring a programmer, I want them to know C and Python. C because
all the low-level stuff is written in that, Python because it's simply
the most useful all-around programming language at the moment, and if
you don't know it, well, how devoted are you really to your craft?

Second that.
It's a lot of effort and I daresay you'd learn a lot about many

Hi, Louis. Thanks for your note.
I have FrameMaker 5, but when I point it at these files, it tells me an
earlier version is needed to open them. The header in the file (from
1989, for instance) says that the version is MakerFile 1.03. I'm on
the track of a version of Maker 3.
The side-topic
At PARC, we have some digital documents from the early '90's in
FrameMaker version 1 and 2. But we have no versions of FrameMaker
suitable for opening them, and re-rendering them in a more accessible
format. I'm wondering if others have faced this issue in making
archives accessible, and if so,

Not sure what you mean by handle access restrictions. Do you mean it
can index the documents put into it even if they have

OK, that's not I typically think of when I hear DRM. Access control
is (I think) the way it's usually put.
No, UpLib
