Re: [CODE4LIB] personalization of academic library websites
We implemented personalization on our website in 2012. An early presentation on that project can be found at http://www.slideshare.net/ianchan/building-a-usercentric-website-by-integrating-course-enrollment-data. A more complete write-up is available at http://www.emeraldinsight.com/doi/full/10.1108/LHT-07-2013-0096. Here’s a more recent screenshot of the home page after user login. https://www.diigo.com/item/image/qxh8/v7ng?size=o. We’re largely a commuter campus and close to 70% of traffic is from off-campus. Also, student access is quite high in the evenings and on weekends, much of it from off-campus. All of that off-campus traffic requires login to access our e-resources. So we ask users to consider logging-in first since they will have to later in the research process. Our next steps are to integrate data from Alma/Primo/ILLiad (check-outs/fines/ILL requests/citation lists/saved queries) and tie it all together with Shibboleth. Somewhat related: I’m at a mobile app conference and there’s a lot of interest in personas and personalization.

Re: [CODE4LIB] NCIP path on a Millennium server
Thanks Kyle, we are acquiring the DCB product but are having some issues with NCIP agencyIDs. Sorry, I probably should have specified DCB server instead of Millennium. I'm hoping we can use a relay between systems to modify the agencyID as appropriate. I'll definitely keep in mind the need for responses to all NCIP messages originating from the DCB.

This means that valid responses need to be sent in response to everything (even if they only perform a null op at the responder end) or the system will keep trying to resend the request. kyle On Tue, Jul 22, 2014 at 9:05 AM, Kyle Banerjee kyle.baner...@gmail.com wrote: AFAIK, Mil doesn't support NCIP.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Library Class Registration System
You can accomplish this using Drupal and the following modules. Sign-up - for enrollment and reminders LDAP integration Notifications/messaging Calendar Views - works with Calendar to output course scheduling in calendar format - also for building class lists, attendance lists are handled by the Sign-up module but you might also do it in CCK - create a workshop content type with start and end date field.

That is, for one-time classes such as How to Search Pubmed, not for enrollment in academic courses like BIO101.
