[CODE4LIB] Updated/edited Survey for Code4Lib presentation "Destroying Impostor Phenomenon"

[Dominique Bortmas]

This is an edited, revised version of the original survey, "Destroying IP in 
Code4Lib and Ourselves". Based on feedback and my own gender identities, I 
decided to remove the original survey and redistribute the survey with 
textboxes for the gender demographic. That way, we, as Code4Lib community 
members, can continue to be inclusive while continuously listening to those in 
our community. 

Thanks to anyone who has replied to this survey. If you have already taken the 
survey, there is no need to re-it.

Survey Information:

Calling all information professionals:

Are you an information professional who is involved with Code4Lib or have an 
interest in participating in Code4Lib? If so, please participate in my survey 
for my upcoming Code4Lib presentation, "Destroying Impostor Phenomenon in 
Code4Lib and Ourselves". Whether you have attended Code4Lib or are hearing 
about it for the first time, you are encouraged to participate!

The survey will measure levels of Imposter Phenomenon (IP) and Perfectionist 
Self-Presentation (PSP) among information professionals in order to determine 
how IP & PSP influence perceptions and participation at Code4Lib. The survey is 
open to all information professionals regardless of title and experience. Those 
who have attended Code4Lib or are interested in Code4Lib are particularly 
encouraged to participate in this survey.

The survey consists of five brief sections, including: 1) Demographics, 2) 
Clance IP Scale, 3) PSP Scale, 4) Code4Lib Familiarity & Impressions, 5) 
Code4Lib Involvement & Participation. The survey is expected to take 10-15 
minutes to complete.

The findings of this survey will be included in the presentation, "Destroying 
Impostor Phenomenon in Code4Lib and Ourselves" at the annual, national Code4Lib 
conference on March 7, 2017.

[CODE4LIB] Data Privacy Policies in your libraries

[Dan Moore]

Dear colleagues, 

We're conducting an informal environmental scan of academic libraries to 
determine the extent of their data privacy policies. The goal of this scan is 
to determine how consistently aspirational these types of policies tend to be, 
or if there are some libraries that have aggressively pushed vendors to resolve 
some of the privacy issues not directly within the library's control (and there 
are some vendors that stick out as particularly egregious). 

Does your library have a policy that enumerates guidelines on how patron data 
is managed and retained? Do you publish this policy so that students and 
faculty may read it? Do you incorporate your library's data privacy policies in 
your instruction (one-on-one, workshops, classes, entrenched librarians, etc.)? 
In regards to vendors, how do you address significant patron privacy issues 
before, during, or after implementing that service? 

Thank you for considering this scan. 

Kind regards,
Dan Moore

[CODE4LIB] Error in my just published article in Code4Lib journal

[Monica Maceli]

Hi editors,

Sara fixed the below issue for me during the editing process through using
the  tag, but I'm assuming Wordpress "helpfully" removed it again
during the publishing process - can you correct this in the published
version at http://journal.code4lib.org/articles/11626 ? Without that line
corrected, nothing else in the tutorial will work, unfortunately.

[image: Inline image 1]

The circled line should be:

*> text_corpus <-
Corpus(DirSource('C:/Users/Monica/Documents/Course_Catalogs'))*

Thank you!
-Monica

Hi Sara,

This is looking great - thanks for doing the edits! One thing I noticed is
this change still needs to be made:

*This part:*

*Then we will use the Corpus() function to create a corpus of all the text
documents contained within the specified directory.*

*> text_corpus*

*Is missing the last part of that command, it should be:*
*> text_corpus <-
Corpus(DirSource('C:/Users/Monica/Documents/Course_Catalogs'))*

The next command entered will actually be that same "> text_corpus" which
might be why that last piece got removed in editing.

Thanks!

New additions for your summer reading list!

Emflix – Gone Baby Gone
by Netanel Ganin
http://journal.code4lib.org/articles/11762
Enthusiasm is no replacement for experience. This article describes a tool
developed at the Emerson College Library by an eager but overzealous
cataloger. Attempting to enhance media-discovery in a familiar and
intuitive way, he created a browseable and searchable Netflix-style
interface. Though it may have been an interesting idea, many of the crucial
steps that are involved in this kind of high-concept work were neglected.
This article will explore and explain why the tool ultimately has not been
maintained or updated, and what should have been done differently to ensure
its legacy and continued use.

Introduction to Text Mining with R for Information Professionals
by Monica Maceli
http://journal.code4lib.org/articles/11626
The ‘tm: Text Mining Package’ in the open source statistical software R has
made text analysis techniques easily accessible to both novice and expert
practitioners, providing useful ways of analyzing and understanding large,
unstructured datasets. Such an approach can yield many benefits to
information professionals, particularly those involved in text-heavy
research projects. This article will discuss the functionality and
possibilities of text mining, as well as the basic setup necessary for
novice R users to employ the RStudio integrated development environment
(IDE). Common use cases, such as analyzing a corpus of text documents or
spreadsheet text data, will be covered, as well as the text mining tools
for calculating term frequency, term correlations, clustering, creating
wordclouds, and plotting.

Data for Decision Making: Tracking Your Library’s Needs With TrackRef
by Michael Carlozzi

Library services must adapt to changing patron needs. These adaptations
should be data-driven. This paper reports on the use of TrackRef, an open

Are games a viable solution to crowdsourcing improvements to faulty OCR? –
The Purposeful Gaming and BHL experience
by Max J. Seidman; Dr. Mary Flanagan;Trish Rose-Sandler; Mike Lichtenberg
http://journal.code4lib.org/articles/11781
The Missouri Botanical Garden and partners from Dartmouth, Harvard, the New
York Botanical Garden, and Cornell recently wrapped up a project funded by
IMLS called Purposeful Gaming and BHL: engaging the public in improving and
enhancing access to digital texts (
http://biodivlib.wikispaces.com/Purposeful+Gaming). The goals of the
project were to significantly improve access to digital texts through the
applicability of purposeful gaming for the completion of data enhancement
tasks needed for content found within the Biodiversity Heritage Library
(BHL). This article will share our approach in terms of game design choices
and the use of algorithms for verifying the quality of inputs from players
as well as challenges related to transcriptions and marketing. We will
conclude by giving an answer to the question of whether games are a
successful tool for analyzing and improving digital outputs from OCR and
whether we recommend their uptake by libraries and other cultural heritage
institutions.

>From Digital Commons to OCLC: A Tailored Approach for Harvesting and
Transforming ETD Metadata into High-Quality Records
by Marielle Veve
http://journal.code4lib.org/articles/11676
The library literature contains many examples of automated and
semi-automated approaches to harvest electronic theses and dissertations
(ETD) metadata from institutional repositories (IR) to the Online Computer
Library Center (OCLC). However, most of these approaches could not be
implemented with the institutional repository software Digital Commons
because of various reasons including proprietary schema incompatibilities
and high level programming expertise requirements our institution did not
want to pursue. Only one semi-automated approach was found in the library
literature which met our requirements for implementation, and even though
it catered to the particular needs of the DSpace IR, it could be
implemented to other IR software if further customizations were applied.
The following paper presents an extension of this semi-automated approach
originally created by Deng and Reese, but customized and adapted to address
the particular needs of the Digital Commons community and updated to
integrate the latest Resource Description & Access (RDA) content standards
for ETDs. Advantages and disadvantages of this workflow are

[CODE4LIB] Job Announcement - Digital Scholarship and Repository Analyst, UConn

[Eustis, Jennifer]

Please excuse cross postings

The University of Connecticut Digital Scholarship and Data Curation unit, along 
with Greenhouse Studios at the University of Connecticut seeks an experienced 
web developer to serve as Digital Scholarship and Repository Analyst in a 
full-time role at UConn's Storrs campus.

An innovative and fast-moving collaboration between the University Library, 
UConn's School of Fine Arts, and the Humanities Institute, Greenhouse Studios 
draws insight from the design disciplines to create, implement, assess, and 
disseminate a sustainable, collaboration-first scholarly communications process.

UConn offers an unparalleled work-life balance, providing an exciting and 
challenging working environment while embracing your home and family life and 
emphasizing employee health.

That's us. Now let's talk about you.

You're a developer, through and through. You eat, sleep, and breathe HTML, 
CSS/Sass, JavaScript, PHP (or some other backend language), and MySQL (or other 
database technology). In your travels, you've gained experience with web 
content management systems such as WordPress, Drupal, or Joomla. You might even 
have encountered some of the CMS solutions we use for our specialized purposes, 
like Fedora Commons/Islandora and Omeka. You're familiar with (or at least 
excited about) frameworks and libraries like jQuery, Rails, and CodeIgniter. 
You've got your finger on the pulse of your industry, and you can't wait to 
poke around with modern and emerging technologies like Docker, Google Cloud, 
AngularJS, NodeJS, MongoDB, and others. Naturally, you know how to manage your 
source code using a revision control system like Git. The web is your home.

You're a team player. You're just as comfortable working with a team of 
scholars, designers, writers, and other developers as you are slapping on a 
pair of headphones and disappearing into a coffee-fueled coding session. Since 
your job is to bring technological solutions to researchers from all 
disciplines, in support of varied efforts, you thrive on working 
collaboratively.

To Apply

To apply, please submit an online application that includes a cover letter

Re: [CODE4LIB] New OAI-PMH harvester project

[Demian Katz]

Thanks, Roy! Glad to hear you found this useful. I've also revised the README 
slightly to indicate the possibility of composer.phar-based installation.

In a different conversation today, Chad Nelson brought up ResourceSync, which 
in some ways may prove to be OAI-PMH's successor (though it isn't exactly the 
same and had a broader range of use cases). I should note that I've named this 
project vufindharvest rather than vufindoaipmh because I envision the 
possibility of supporting other protocols in the future, and I hope that some 
logic and patterns can be shared across multiple protocol implementations. If 
anybody has use cases, code or ideas, I'm happy to discuss future possibilities!

This is really cool, Demian, thanks a lot! I found it extremely easy to set

Unix I needed to call Composer like so: php composer.phar install . But
that wasn't much of a problem, as when I installed composer it told me how
to invoke it.

When I fired it up and pointed it at my photos server it downloaded over
13,000 OAI records in what seemed like a flash. I didn't realize my server
(written from scratch in Perl) would respond so quickly (I set my
resumption tokens at 100 recs).

This is now my go-to OAI harvester as it is so easy to use and works (at
least so far) without any trouble at all. Just what I like in a basic tool
like this. Thanks for spinning this off from the VuFind code.

[CODE4LIB] New OAI-PMH harvester project

[Demian Katz]

Hello,

VuFind has been bundled with an OAI-PMH harvest tool for a long time. It 
occurred to me that this tool might be of more general interest, so I have 
broken it out into a stand-alone project here:

https://github.com/vufind-org/vufindharvest

This provides a simple command-line interface for downloading records from an 
OAI-PMH repository into a directory, including support for incremental updates. 
All of the details are documented in the README on GitHub.

The project can also be pulled in as a Composer dependency so that harvests can 
be controlled by other applications; this is how VuFind will continue to 
utilize the functionality in future releases.

If anyone has questions about this project, please let me know!

[CODE4LIB] Edition Alerting service

[Rob Penfold]

Libraries spend a fair bit of time making sure that their collection is up to 
date. A variety of methods are used to achieve this, but they generally involve 
quite a bit of manual work.

One thing that would greatly aid collection development would be if librarians 
could be notified of new editions of books currently in their collection.

Is anyone aware of any service / software that offers this functionality?

Presumably it could work by the MARC holdings (entire or subset) of a library 
being matched against a large bibliographic database (something like WorldCat , 
Books in Print, Electre etc ).

Broadly speaking, this matching would be some combination:

1)  Title and author matching
2)  ISBN of held item against previous edition field
3)  Edition number (in conjunction with other matches above)

The system would alert you to possible new editions (later in publication year) 
of your current holdings. The ability to do the same thing with other formats 
(csv etc) would also be nice.

Of course it would be more probabilistic than exact (with the exception of 
previous edition matching) due to variations in title, author, cataloguing 
standards, how editions are specified (3rd versus Third) and so on but it would 
be a good starting point.  Another nice feature would be to have such a system 
be able to run manually or at specified periods.

Any comments, suggestions welcome (and offers to build even more so - I know 
our library would be happy to pay for such a service)

Re: [CODE4LIB] Hours on Library Websites?

[Brassell, Emily]

Hi all,

After wrestling with the problem for a while, we wrote a Wordpress plugin to 
handle hours. The main display includes a map of locations:
http://library.unc.edu/hours/

And shortcodes are available to display abbreviated versions of today's or this 
week's hours elsewhere on the site. (There is also a consumable JSON view so 
that you can create your own display).

Categories can be assigned to events, which can be repeating or 24-hr (using 
standard ical and recurrence rules).

https://github.com/UNC-Libraries/Hours-of-Operation

We'd be glad to talk more with anyone who's interested!

Best,
Emily

[CODE4LIB] Library & Information Sciences Skills Survey

[Dominique Bortmas]

Hello everyone.

My colleague and I are conducting a survey on LIS skills for current 
librarians, particularly in the tech/ technical services fields. We

The survey is geared toward individuals with an MLIS who work with metadata, 
cataloging, systems, record management, technical services, and/or programming. 
The survey will determine which skills are currently used in these areas of 
librarianship. The survey will also determine how librarians gain those skills 
(i.e. through an LIS program, job training, self-taught). The skills, 
languages, technologies, and programs listed throughout the survey were 
harvested from 934 Librarian job postings at jobs.code4lib.org from March 2016 
to July 2016.
 
The results will be analyzed to determine:
What skills and technologies librarians use in their current positions
If LIS programs offer (or have offered in the past) course work that teaches 
current technology skills for librarians
Where else librarians learn new skills 

This survey is conducted by Dominique Bortmas, MLIS, Metadata Librarian at the 
University of South Florida, and Elizabeth Richey, Ph.D, Cataloging Specialist 
at Florida State University. For questions or comments, please contact us 
through dbort...@usf.edu

We hope you can take a few minutes to complete our brief survey. Thank you for 
your time and help!

[CODE4LIB] Drupal security notice - Drupal contrib - Highly Critical - Remote code execution PSA-2016-001

[Cary Gordon]

There is a remote code execution vulnerability that was discovered by the 
Drupal security team. This is, AFAIK, .theoretical at the moment, but it also 
carries a high risk factor for affected sites.

The affected module list, along with updates for those modules will be released 
at 1600 UTC today (9AM PDT/noon EDT). We can expect that exploits will be 
developed and launched within hours of these announcements. In my experience, 
it is likely that other, related module vulnerabilities will be announced in 
the next few days and weeks.

The notice is available at https://www.drupal.org/node/2764899 


If you do not subscribe to the Drupal Security mailing list, now would be a 
good time to start (https://lists.drupal.org/mailman/listinfo/security-news

[CODE4LIB] mashcat

[Eric Lease Morgan]

The following Mashcat event seems more than apropos to our group:

  We are excited to announce that the second face-to-face Mashcat
  event in North America will be held on January 24th, 2017, in
  downtown Atlanta, Georgia, USA. We invite you to save the date.
  We will be sending out a call for session proposals and opening
  up registration in the late summer and early fall.

  Not sure what Mashcat is? “Mashcat” was originally an event in
  the UK in 2012 aimed at bringing together people working on the
  IT systems side of libraries with those working in cataloguing
  and metadata. Four years later, Mashcat is a loose group of
  metadata specialists, cataloguers, developers and anyone else
  with an interest in how metadata in and around libraries can be
  created, manipulated, used and re-used by computers and software.
  The aim is to work together and bridge the communications gap
  that has sometimes gotten in the way of building the best tools
  we possibly can to manage library data. Among our accomplishments
  in 2016 was holding the first North American face-to-face event
  in Boston in January and running webinars. If you’re unable to
  attend a face-to-face meeting, we will be holding at least one
  more webinar in 2016.

Actually, the mass-editing of cataloging (MARC) data is something that is 
particularly interesting to me these days. Hand-crafted metadata records are 
nice, but increasingly unscalable.

Re: [CODE4LIB] date fields

easy. I can always (and easily) change it later.

More like there are SEVERAL standard fields for such a value.

You can certainly put it in one of the existing standard fields, you just
have to actually follow the (often byzantine legacy) rules for such entry.
For instance, the date you want may very well already be in the fixed field
008, and you could certainly add it if it weren't. But the rules and
practices for 008 are confusing -- in part, because the actual real world
universe of "what is the date of this thing" is itself complex in the real
world of actually cataloged things, including serials and series,
manuscripts, reprints and fascimiles, old things where we aren't sure of
the exact dates, etc.  And in part just because the MARC standard is kind
of old and creaky, especially with regard to fixed fields like 008 being
designed to cram maximum amount of information in minimum bytes, beyond any
reasonable economy actually needed today.

I just learned about the 264 from Karen Miller's post (thanks Karen), I
dunno about that one, but it looks like it might be applicable too.

Standards, why have just one when you can have a dozen?

Thank you, one & all, for the input & feedback. After thinking about it for a 
while, I believe I will save my normalized dates in a local (9xx) field of some 
sort.

My use case? As a part of the "Catholic Portal", I aggregate many different 
types of metadata and essentially create a union catalog of rare and 
infrequently held materials of a Catholic nature. [1] In an effort to measure

Don't forget that it might be duplicative of the 260 but the 008 has "machine

Hi Eric-
Are you planning on storing the 'normalized' dates for ever in the MARC?
i.e. leave the c1900 in the 260$c and have 1900 in another place?

I think what you do depends on your ILS and tools.  My first reaction would be 
to stash the date in an unused subfield in the 260.  If your system allows you 
to add 'non standard' subfields, you could use 260$z to stash it.

But, then I start to think that might rankle some catalogers to have 'non 
standard' date data in the 260 (or 264).  I would probably then look at using 
one of the local use tags.  901-907, 910, or 945-949.  You could be the date in 
$a and even a brief description in a second subfield.

Re: [CODE4LIB] date fields

[Kyle Banerjee]

Is the idea that this new field would be stored as MARC in the system (the
ILS?).

If so, the 9xx solution already suggested is probably the way to go if the
008 route suggested earlier won't work for you. Otherwise, you run a risk
that some form of record maintenance will blow out all your changes.

The actual use case you have in mind makes a big difference in what paths
make sense, so more detail might be helpful.

Re: [CODE4LIB] date fields

[Jonathan Rochkind]

There's some super useful data in the MARC fixed fields too -- more useful
than the semi-transcribed values in 260c, although it's also a pain to
access/transform to something reasonably machine actionable.

Here's the code from traject that tries to get a reasonable date out of
marc fixed fields, falling back to 260c if it needs to.
https://github.com/traject/traject/blob/e98fe35f504a2a519412cd28fdd97dc514b603c6/lib/traject/macros/marc21_semantics.rb#L299-L379

There are already quite a few places in MARC for dates. It's just they're
all weird. You're making up yet a new kind of date to your own local
meaning and specs. I doubt there's an existing MARC field you can put it in
where it won't just add to the confusion. (obligatory reference to
https://xkcd.com/927/).

I'd just put it in a 9xx or xx9 field of your choosing, they are reserved
for local use.

Re: [CODE4LIB] date fields

[Trail, Nate]

Don't forget that it might be duplicative of the 260 but the 008 has "machine 
readable" date info that may be less specific than the 260 but more uniformly 
entered (or that's the only place there is a date associated with 
publication/release).

Hi Eric-
Are you planning on storing the 'normalized' dates for ever in the MARC?
i.e. leave the c1900 in the 260$c and have 1900 in another place?

I think what you do depends on your ILS and tools.  My first reaction would be 
to stash the date in an unused subfield in the 260.  If your system allows you 
to add 'non standard' subfields, you could use 260$z to stash it.

But, then I start to think that might rankle some catalogers to have 'non 
standard' date data in the 260 (or 264).  I would probably then look at using 
one of the local use tags.  901-907, 910, or 945-949.  You could be the date in 
$a and even a brief description in a second subfield.

Hey there, 

If you're using MARC, you could try the 046 field. It's for special dates.

[CODE4LIB] date fields

[Eric Lease Morgan]

I’m looking for date fields.

Or more specifically, I have been given a pile o’ MARC records, and I will be 
extracting for analysis the values of dates from MARC 260$c. From the resulting 
set of values — which will include all sorts of string values ([1900], c1900, 
190?, 19—, 1900, etc.) — I plan to normalize things to integers like 1900. I 
then want to save/store these normalized values back to my local set of MARC 
records. I will then re-read the data to create things like timelines, to 
answer questions like “How old is old?”, or to “simply” look for trends in the 
data.

What field would y’all suggest I use to store my normalized date content?

[CODE4LIB] WSSSPE4 - Final Call for Submissions Deadline July 10, 2016

[McDonald, Robert H.]

Apologies for cross-posting.

--Robert



Final Call for Submissions: 

4th Workshop on Sustainable Software for Science: Practice and Experiences 
(WSSSPE4) 
(http://wssspe.researchcomputing.org.uk/wssspe4/) 

Location: School of Computer Science, Kilburn and IT Buildings, University of 
Manchester, Manchester, UK 
Dates: 2 ½ days from Sept. 12th noon – Sept. 14th 5 pm, 2016 
Immediately preceding and co-located in Manchester with First Conference of 
Research Software Engineers 
(RSE Conference) (Sept 15-16 at Museum of Science and Industry, Manchester, UK) 

Follow @wssspe, tweet with #wssspe 

A nominal registration fee may be charged. 

Abstract: 

Progress in scientific research is dependent on the quality and accessibility 
of research software at all levels. It 
is now critical to address many new challenges related to the development, 
deployment, maintenance, and 
sustainability of open-use research software: the software upon which specific 
research results rely. Open-use 
software means that the software is widely accessible (whether open source, 
shareware, or commercial). 
Research software means that the choice of software is essential to specific 
research results; using different 
software could produce different results. 

In addition, it is essential that scientists, researchers, and students are 
able to learn and adopt a new set of 
software-related skills and methodologies. Established researchers are already 
acquiring some of these skills, 
and in particular, a specialized class of software developers is emerging in 
academic environments who are an 
integral and embedded part of successful research teams. WSSSPE provides a 
forum for discussion of these 
challenges, including both positions and experiences, and a forum for the 
community to assemble and act. 

WSSSPE4 will consist of two separate tracks with some joint sessions: 

Track 1 – Building a sustainable future for open-use research software has the 
goals of defining a vision of the 
future of open-use research software, and in the workshop, initiating the 
activities that are needed to get there. 
The idea of this track is to first think about where we want to be 5 to 10 
years from now, without being too 
concerned with where we are today, and then to determine how we can move to 
this future. 

Track 2 – Practices & experiences in sustainable scientific software has the 
goal of improving the quality of 
today’s research software and the experiences of its developers by sharing 
practices and experiences. This 
track is focused on the current state of scientific software and what we can do 
to improve it in the short term, 
starting with where we are today. 

Topics of interest include but are not limited to: 

• Development and Community 
• Best practices for developing sustainable software 
• Models for funding specialist expertise in software collaborations 
• Software tools that aid sustainability 
• Academia/industry interaction 
• Refactoring/improving legacy scientific software 
• Engineering design for sustainable software 
• Metrics for the success of scientific software 
• Adaptation of mainstream software practices for scientific software 
• Professionalization 
• Career paths 
• RSE as a brand 
• RSE outside of the UK or Europe 
• Increase incentives in publishing, funding and promotion for better software 
• Training 
• Training for developing sustainable software 
• Curriculum for software sustainability 
• Credit 
• Making the existing credit and citation ecosystem work better for software 
• Future credit and citation ecosystem 
• Software contributions as a part of tenure review 
• Case studies of receiving credit for software contributions 
• Awards and recognition that encourage sustainable software 
• Software publishing 
• Journals and alternative venues for publishing software 
• Review processes for published software 
• Software discoverability/reuse 
• Proposals and case studies 
• Reproducibility and testing 
• Reproducibility in conferences and journals 
• Best practices for code testing and code review 

Important Dates: 
• Submission of lightning talks: July 10 
• Submission of Track 1 idea papers: July 10 
• Submission of Track 2 position papers, experience papers, presentations of 
previously 
published works, and demos: July 10 
• Submission of travel support requests: July 10 
• Lightning talk decisions announced: Aug 1 
• Track 1 idea papers decisions announced: Aug 1 
• Track 2 position papers, experience papers, presentations of previously 
published works, 
and demo decisions announced: Aug 1 
• Travel support decisions announced: Aug 2 

Submission types and formats: 
• Lightning talks: a short paper, up to 2 pages, that if accepted can be 
conveyed in a 5 to 7 minute talk, 
either on Track 1: Building a sustainable future for open-use research software

tutorials, assignments, and group discussions.

Register Online, page arranged by session date (login required)


Universal Design is the idea of designing products, places, and experiences
to make them accessible to as broad a spectrum of people as possible,
without requiring special modifications or adaptations. This course will
present an overview of universal design as a historical movement, as a
philosophy, and as an applicable set of tools. Students will learn about
the diversity of experiences and capabilities that people have, including
disabilities (e.g. physical, learning, cognitive, resulting from age and/or
accident), cultural backgrounds, and other abilities. The class will also
give students the opportunity to redesign specific products or environments
to make them more universally accessible and usable.

*Takeaways*

By the end of this class, students will be able to…

   - Articulate the ethical, philosophical, and practical aspects of
   Universal Design as a method and movement – both in general and as it
   relates to their specific work and life circumstances
   - Demonstrate the specific pedagogical, ethical, and customer service
   benefits of using Universal Design principles to develop and recreate
   library spaces and services in order to make them more broadly accessible
   - Integrate the ideals and practicalities of Universal Design into
   library spaces and services via a continuous critique and evaluation cycle

is specifically geared to meeting the unique needs of people with learning
differences. While at Landmark, Ms. Olin learned about the ethical,
theoretical, and practical aspects of universal design. She has since
taught an undergraduate course for both the education and
the entrepreneurship departments at Hiram College on the subject.

*Holly Mabry*

Holly Mabry received her MLIS from UNC-Greensboro in 2009. She is currently
the Digital Services Librarian at Gardner-Webb University where she manages
the university’s institutional repository, and teaches the library’s
for-credit online research skills course. She also works for

Re: [CODE4LIB] Hours on Library Websites?

[Ken Irwin]

Matt,

For the last year or so I've been using a tool developed by a handful of 
Code4Libbers:
https://github.com/kenirwin/LibraryHoursManager 

There are two front-end pieces: 1) a "today's hours" report to put on the front 
page, 
http://www6.wittenberg.edu/lib/ 
and calendar of dates and hours: 
http://www6.wittenberg.edu/lib/about/hours/calendar.php 

The calendar-style front end was developed by Andrew Darby and Ron Gilmour at 
Ithaca College, based on work that Andrew did earlier and wrote about in the 
C4L journal: 
http://journal.code4lib.org/articles/46 
That tool's back-end is a simple day-by-day XML file; I wrote a set of back-end 
scripts to generate the XML based on a variety of date settings, e.g.:
 * From January 7-May 15, here are the normal library hours...
 * but spring break hours are different, so use the override "break hours" 
setting...
 * and then there are one or two days we have special hours that don't conform 
to a routine like "break hours", so use these special hours...

Feel free to give it a try, and let me know if you need any help with it.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Hours on Library Websites?

[Mark Vega]

Here at UC Irvine Libraries, we use a home-grown Hours system built on 
MSSQL/PHP.  Each year, we load a new calendar year into our Hours database 
using data from three sources: a perpetual calendar database, a database of 
local academic calendar dates obtained from the Registrar, and a database of 
default hours for each of our libraries and service points.  Once loaded, 
select staff from each library and service point are able to customize the 
hours data for their particular locations using a simple webform-based admin 
system.  We typically load the default data a year in advance and previous 
years' data is retained and fully accessible as well.  We find this set-up 
gives us maximum flexibility in feeding this data out in various formats for 
display in a variety of ways, including a daily hours display on our home page 
(http://www.lib.uci.edu/) and a full calendar display 
(http://www.lib.uci.edu/hours) as well as in widgets used by staff in various 
ways.  The full database is also accessible via simple RESTful queries.  The 
same database is used by various other in-house applications, including our 
catalog,  that need to know hours of operation as part of their functional 
requirements.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Hours on Library Websites?

[Fitchett, Deborah]

Hi all,

Our hours page has some history! We originally used Andrew Darby's code using 
Google Calendar. Then Google Calendar went belly up and a former colleague 
rewrote the code as https://github.com/LincolnUniLTL/calibr

This required regularly uploading a file with new hours, and our hours vary 
according to time of year, day of week, and possibly phase of moon so I kept 
making mistakes and having to fix them. Also separately we have to keep the 
hours correct in Alma anyway, and I was already using the Alma API to pull out 
other things, so I mashed up various bits of code and now it pulls from there 
instead. 

But it is quite a messy hybrid of calibr plus our  
https://github.com/LincolnUniLTL/LTLstats (library dashboard) code to create 
the whole (bilingual) hours module at https://library2.lincoln.ac.nz/hours/ and 
also custom widgets on our (Wordpress-based) website https://ltl.lincoln.ac.nz/ 
which use cURL to GET a couple of mini-pages we've created in php on our own 
server, for hours of the day (for the home page) and hours of the week (for our 
About LTL tab).

So it'd be a mess to share - I mean I'd be happy to, but I can't imagine anyone 
willingly wanting to implement it from scratch. Instead for people using Alma 
I'd recommend something like 
https://developers.exlibrisgroup.com/blog/Alma-Hours-API-Widget

Re: [CODE4LIB] small freelance opportunity: WordPress migration for TEI-C website

Pardon the late notice, but we're still looking for expressions of 
interest.  The work isn't glamorous, but it's important!

*RFQ: Phase 1 of Migration of TEI-C website to WordPress*

*

**

*The Text Encoding Initiative Consortium (TEI-C) 
, an international organization that 
develops and maintains a standard for representing texts in digital 
form, plans to commission a new website for the organization, 
replacing the core of the old website that currently runs on a 
customized version of OpenCMS with a WordPress instance. The TEI-C 
seeks quotations from freelancers interested in carrying out this work 
in coordination with the TEI webmaster. Preference will be given to 
candidates willing to collaborate with the TEI webmaster using 
screensharing or in person in Denton, Texas.*


*

While a new information architecture and design for the site are 
planned for Phase 2, the first step (Phase 1) is simply to replace the 
existing OpenCMS site with a WordPress instance.



While there are various subdomains under tei-c.org, this project 
concerns only a portion of the pages on the domain 
www.tei-c.org. Specifically, it concerns only 
those pages, including the homepage, that have a common footer with a 
row of buttons and links. There are approximately 500 pages at this time.



By August 1, 2016, the TEI webmaster will:

1.

Set up a WordPress instance.

2.

Install the HTML Import module
(or other
modules upon request) to assist with the content migration.

3.

Share administrative credentials for the new site.

4.

Provide guidance on integration with components of the old site
not under OpenCMS.

5.

Coordinate a freeze of all content updates on the existing site
during the migration.

6.

Coordinate with the system administrator on updating domain names
and implementing redirects.


By September 1, 2016, you will:

1.

Recreate (though not necessarily exactly) the current site design
in WordPress by choosing an appropriate theme.

2.

Migrate each page served from OpenCMS (the HTML version, not the
XML source) of the old site to the new site, likely with the help
of the HTML Import module, recreating the page hierarchy and,
where possible, the navigation menus.

3.

Keep a mapping of old to new URLs to allow for redirects to be put
into place after the migration (unless using the HTML Import
module, which generates this automatically).

4.

Address errors in the migration process reported by October 1, 2016.


Following completion of these tasks, the TEI-C, incorporated in the 
State of Virginia, will pay you in US dollars based on your quotation.



If interested in providing these services, please send email 
web@tei-c.orgbefore July 12, 2016, with:


1.

the quotation (total price) for completing the tasks above

2.

a note about your willingness to collaborate by sharing screens or
in person in Denton, Texas


If you have any questions, please also contact 
w...@tei-c.org.



Bidders will be notified of the status of their bid by July 20, 2016.

[CODE4LIB] OCR Service at a Public Library?

[Lolis, John]

We're looking to digitize our microfilm collection, and I thought that we
might want to go a step further and offer an OCR service to our patrons.

Is there anyone out there who is making OCR available to the public?  And
if so, how are you going about that?  Is it simply through a standalone
scanner workstation?  Do you charge a fee?

In particular, I'm looking into ABBYY's Recognition Server (
https://www.abbyy.com/recognition-server/) for the initial digitization
project and going forward, for an OCR service.

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 34th issue.  Don't
miss out on this opportunity to share your ideas and experiences. To be
included in the 34th issue, which is scheduled for publication in mid
October 2016, please submit articles, abstracts, or proposals at
http://journal.code4lib.org/submit-proposal or to jour...@code4lib.org by
Friday, July 22, 2016.  When submitting, please include the title or
subject of the proposal in the subject line of the email message.

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 include, but are not limited to:

* Practical applications of library technology (both actual and
hypothetical)
* Technology projects (failed, successful, or proposed), including how they
were done and challenges faced
* Case studies
* Best practices
* Reviews
* Comparisons of third party software or libraries
* Analyses of library metadata for use with technology
* Project management and communication within the library environment
* Assessment and user studies

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 32 issues published on our website:
http://journal.code4lib.org.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Hours on Library Websites?

[Mark Vega]

Here at UC Irvine Libraries, we use a home-grown Hours system built on MS 
SQL/PHP.  Each year, we load a new calendar year into our Hours database using 
data from three sources: a perpetual calendar database, a database of local 
academic calendar dates obtained from the Registrar, and a database of default 
hours for each of our libraries and service points.  Once loaded, select staff 
from each library and service point are able to customize the hours data for 
their particular locations using a simple webform-based admin system.  We 
typically load the default data a year in advance and previous years' data is 
retained and fully accessible as well.  We find this set-up gives us maximum 
flexibility in feeding this data out in various formats for display in a 
variety of ways, including a daily hours display on our home page 
(http://www.lib.uci.edu/) and a full calendar display 
(http://www.lib.uci.edu/hours) as well as in widgets used by staff in various 
ways.  The full database is accessible via simple RESTful queries.  The same 
database is used by various other in-house applications that need to know hours 
of operation as part of their functional requirements.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Hours on Library Websites?

[Valerie Forrestal]

I feel very low tech right now, but we are using the Business Hours Wordpress 
plugin: www.library.csi.cuny.edu (it doesn't show up on mobile because media 
queries so you have to view the site on a regular computer to see what it looks 
like.)

It's super easy to update and you can edit the CSS to customize the display.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Hours on Library Websites?

[Heather Rayl]

We use a custom javascript with a giant array. The script first tests to
determine the month and date, and it also tests for the day of the week. We
have two lines that have the "regular" hours -- one set for fall and spring
semester and one set for summer, and then we write "exceptions" for each
day that is different. if it's not one of the exceptions, then it lists the
regular hours. Although it sounds cumbersome, it doesn't really take that
long to update it, and you only have to update it twice -- once at the
beginning of summer to comment out the regular fall/spring hours, and once
at the end of the summer to comment out the regular summer hours. Around
this time, we also update the exceptions for the upcoming year.

I'd be happy to share the code with anyone who would like it.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Hours on Library Websites?

[Ketner, Kenny]

At Texas Tech University Libraries, our solution for over 12 years has been 
Google Calendar along with a custom PHP script with MySQL database backend. 
Every summer our circ staff creates the next calendar year's hours in a 
spreadsheet; this is imported into Google Calendar and also ingested into our 
MySQL database. The purpose of the PHP script is to provide quick information 
to web pages about the current day's hours, and the Google Calendar gives a 
look-ahead for future hours and library events.

Hi Matt,

Coincidentally enough, UW is currently looking at how to easily and centrally 
distribute hours information to our website (and potentially some other campus 
web apps). We're looking at LibCal but also considering rolling our own with 
some harvesting through the Alma Hours API. LibCal's REST API is still in 
development and has a limitations that we've noticed:

* Can only request times from today to the future. We'd have to cache older 
results if we wanted to display them

* Can only show up to one year in advance (we sometimes need to show a full 
schedule fro 15 months)

* Identifiers for locations and sublocations is an ID number, so you'd have to 
write a mapping if you want others to use it easily.

* Given our large number of libraries and sublocations within them, we'd really 
like to be able to set hours relative to the "containing" library.

We're still debating as you can guess, but the basic gist I've gotten is that 
if you want to use LibCal, you're going to probably write some intermediary 
JavaScript to make your life easier.

[CODE4LIB] Job: Collections Data Archivist (term) at University of California, Los Angeles

[jobs]

Collections Data Archivist (term)
University of California, Los Angeles
Los Angeles

As one of the world's great public research universities, UCLA integrates
education, research, and public service so that each enriches and extends the
others. From its beautiful neighborhood campus in a uniquely diverse and
vibrant city on the Pacific Rim, teaching and research extend beyond the
classroom, office, and lab through active engagement with communities,
organizations, projects, and partnerships throughout the region and around the
world.

  
UCLA's diverse community of scholars encompasses nearly 30,000 undergraduates
pursuing 125 majors, 13,000 graduate students in fifty-nine research programs,
and 4,000 faculty members including Nobel Laureates; Rhodes Scholars;
MacArthur Fellows; winners of the Fields Medal, National Medal of Science,
Pritzer Prize, and Pulitzer Prize; and recipients of Oscars, Emmys, Tonys, and
Golden Globes. UCLA ranks tenth in the Times of London Higher Education World
Reputation Rankings, twelfth in the Academic Ranking of World Universities by
Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and fifth in the U.S. by Washington Monthly.
The National Research Council ranks forty of its graduate and doctoral
research programs among its top ten.

  
To enable these accomplished students, faculty, and staff to create,
disseminate, and apply knowledge for the benefit of global society, the UCLA
Library is re-envisioning how it is acquired, synthesized, and shared across
academic audiences and with the public. It was among the first academic
libraries to develop subject-specialist librarians and to launch a program to
enhance students' research skills. Its Special Collections pioneered the
acquisition by public institutions of rare and unique books, children's
literature, pulp and detective fiction, works by or about women and
minorities, screenplays, architectural plans, and Los Angeles-related
materials and today leads the way in collecting archival resources in digital
format such as emails and manuscripts. It has launched innovative data
management services and an affordable course materials initiative that have
served as models for other libraries.

  
The Library serves UCLA students, faculty, and staff whenever and wherever
they need its resources and expertise. Reconfigured, high-tech spaces and
services in its ten campus libraries enable users and librarians to explore
and work with print and digital materials collaboratively or individually,
pursue new lines of inquiry, and develop new pedagogical approaches as well as
novel forms of scholarship. More than 3.5 million people visit annually, while
an additional 3.4 million visitors enter online through its virtual front
doors.

  
Whether on campus or online, the Library forms the intellectual heart of UCLA,
a hub for cutting-edge discovery, scholarship, and instruction.

  
Library Special Collections (LSC) is an enterprise-wide, organizational entity
within the UCLA Library System that integrates special collections resources,
services, and operations. Central to this re-organized unit is a curatorial
team of four subject experts (Performing Arts, University Archives, History of
Science and Medicine, Collecting Los Angeles), three format specific curators
(Rare Books, Visual Materials, Manuscripts), and the Head of the Center for
Oral History Research. LSC also includes three administrative sections:
Collection Management, Research and Instructional Services, and Administrative
Services. The Collection Management Section centralizes the acquisitions, rare
book cataloging, and processing of special collections materials; coordinates
lending processes; and integrates collaboration with the Cataloging and
Metadata Center, the Preservation Program, and the Digital Library Program.
The Research and Instructional Services Section integrates public services for
LSC, including centralized reference and instructional services, and
exhibitions and programs. The Administrative Services Section consolidates the
planning, budget, human resources, fundraising, assessment, technology, and
events functions of LSC. The entire staff of approximately 30 FTE work
together as a team to build, preserve, and provide access to the outstanding
special collections of the UCLA Library.

  
The Collection Management Section includes the Digital Initiatives group,
which is responsible for maintaining a born-digital archives management
program, managing digital projects, and facilitating online access to digital
collections and archival description. The Digital Initiatives group works
closely with LSC staff, as well as staff from the Digital Library Program,
Digital Initiatives and Information Technology (DIIT), the Preservation
Imaging Unit at the Southern Regional Library Facility (SRLF), the Cataloging
and Metadata Center, and the Preservation Program to undertake a holistic
approach to digital initiatives across UCLA Library.
