[CODE4LIB] Auto filling ILLiad forms without WC Discovery

2015-08-26 Thread Jill Ellern
Hey Code4libers,

So our statewide purchase of OCLC's WorldCat Discovery ended this spring and 
now with the new school year, all the ramifications of this to Interlibrary 
loan and training the new crop of patrons is now becoming clear. We haven't 
seen it happen yet, but besides losing our union catalog link 
(http://wncln.worldcat.org/), the understanding is that if all libraries that 
don't subscribe will not have their holdings show up in the public display of 
worldcat.org. (WorldShare ILL will see it, but public patrons will not.) I'm 
surprised...Is OCLC really going to hide the holdings of those libraries that 
don't subscribe to OCLC Discovery?  Seems kind of odd that a database we all 
worked together to create would do that...but that is what I understand...  Is 
that yours too?

The biggest issues we are hearing from our Reference and ILL staff is the lost 
the ability to auto fill a request when searching/linking search to 
worldcat.org.  I'm wondering if others in the Code4lib world might have a fix 
for this issue of auto filling the information about an item scraped from 
public worldcat.org site into an ILLiad request form?  Do you have other 
solutions?

[CODE4LIB] What Wiki program to you recommend?

2012-10-09 Thread Jill Ellern
Hey C4L folks,

I'm about to work on a project to create a directory of all the local libraries 
for the library employees in my area (public libraries, academic - community 
colleges and university level, as well as small special libraries).  My thought 
is to include pictures as well as other info. I want to put it on a Wiki but 
there are so many flavors.  What would you recommend for such a project?  Do 
you know of any other regions that are doing this?

Thanks, Jill Ellern

Re: [CODE4LIB] drupal question

2010-06-07 Thread Jill Ellern
At this point I'm just investigating our options.  The campus is using RedDot 
and clamps us down significantly on what we can do on it.   (I'm reminded of 
the words from the theme from Outer Limits...we control the vertical and the 
horizontal...lol)  I thought it might be nice to play with our insider (or 
in-house pages) on Drupal to kind of test the waters and see what we think.  We 
have several digital collections, an access database of databases, and several 
scripts that are non-RedDot insider data...  I've been doing a space needs 
analysis the last few weeks... So it's on my mind. 

At Code4Lib, you folks sure made it seem glowing for library type applications. 
 We had a web server that did run Clio but were pushed into a hosted ILLiad 
site situation.  I was hoping to use that virtual server as a test bed for 
drupal...but my IT folks are not so keen on this idea and started asking for 
money to still use it.   It just seemed to me that where it sits these days is 
not as big of thing when money is involved...security not withstanding...

[CODE4LIB] Mobile emulators and sites to search

Code4Lib folks,
I was very impressed with the talks at the conference on Mobile Catalog 
searching and what to do a show and tell for my library staff.  However, Kim 
Griggs presentation doesn't appear to be up yet...:(  (I really liked your 
presentation!  Others did great too...) And I didn't take good enough notes 
because I was hoping to play that presentation to my library folks...

So we were wondering,  Is there a mobile emulator for the Android phone you

Is there a list somewhere of sites that show off Mobile searching well that you 
would recommend?

Since the price of taxi service from the airport is pretty steep (I've heard 
$40 taxi ride one way), the WCU and ASU libraries are looking at ways to help.  
We are planning to provide a limited van shuttle service for the Code4Lib 
conference coming and going to the Asheville airport. (We need a good 
name...perhaps the Air2Hot Van)  We now have access to two minivans that can 
hold maximum of 6 passengers with their bags per trip.
A Asheville Airport to Hotel Van Manifest has been drafted for the van loads 
based on flight information provided by attendees on the Rideshare wiki. Check 
out http://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php/Asheville_Airport_to_Hotel_Van_Manifest  
to see what we have created.  In addition, we are requesting that passengers 
wanting to use this service provide us with their email and cell phone 
information so we can contact you directly.  Please send this information to 
ksclarke+c4lr...@gmail.commailto:ksclarke+c4lr...@gmail.com to confirm your 
spot.  We will update the confirmed column in the table so you know we have 
received it.
We only have a limited space on these two vans so make sure your information is 
correct.  Please check both your flight arrival and departure times.
We hope to provide a ride for everyone to/from the airport that needs it but 
only for Sunday-Friday.  We suspect that there might be many more attendees 
needing rides during this period then have currently signed up for on the wiki. 
We will attempt to accommodate all those that have signed up but we only have 
the two vans and it's an hour and a half roundtrip to the hotel.  Priority will 
be given to those how have already signed up right now.  We will do our best 
with anyone who adds their info after this message is sent out.  First check 
out the table to see what spots we have left in the current load runs.
If the van is filled or doesn't currently run during your needed time slot, 
please add your information to the bottom of the rideshare page 
http://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php/C4L2010rideshare .  We will look to see if 
we can accommodate your requests in our schedule.  Please don't add loads to 
the manifest document yourself. We will monitor the rideshare list and add runs 
as we are able.  Email me directly if you have any questions.
We are working with the Guest Services and Ground Transportation Desk at the 
Asheville Airport baggage claim area to coordinating the pickup location for 
our vans.  More information about this will be forthcoming directly to your 
provided email and cell phone info.
 Looking forwards to seeing you all in person.   Feedback is welcome.

[CODE4LIB] Rosetta Kitchen

2010-02-11 Thread Jill Ellern
I've been there a number of times...it's laid out a little oddly (big area in 
the back, some tables around the all the front, you order from the counter and 
they bring it to you) but can accommodate a number of folks...good food too 
(love the cornbread).  Be prepared to wall up stairs.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Code4Lib Van service to and from the Asheville Airport

2010-02-11 Thread Jill Ellern
I think that's a good idea...as a double check to make sure we have your info 
if you are just adding to a van load that has space.
But it is ESSENTIAL if we don't have a space in a current van load or we don't 
have a van load for your time.  Please add your info to the end of the 
rideshare list and indicate that you need into the manifest...and we will try 
to fit you in..  Jill

[CODE4LIB] A simple windows macro program?

2009-05-18 Thread Jill Ellern
Hey Code4Lib folks,

Not sure if there are any Clio ILL software users in the Code4Lib group...but 
we are interested in getting Clio to pull emails from the ClioAdvanced email 
more often.  We are thinking there must be a windows macro/scripting program on 
top of Clio (which is an MS Access application for those not familiar with it) 
would be the best idea.  Right now, it needs human intervention to run the menu 
option to pop these requests into Clio...and they only do it once or twice a 
day.  We want this menu option in Clio to run every 15-20 minutes all day. 
However, we are not familiar with what programs are out there that would be 
good to look at.  Can you folks make a suggestion?  Has anyone done this 
already with Clio?

Thanks,

Jill Ellern
