Re: [CODE4LIB] Internet of Things
Hi Lisa, There are a few public libraries here in Southern Ontario who are using sensors to monitor patron movement in their libraries; the intent is to understand how patrons are using the library space, whether in-place way-finders are effective, etc. If you want further info, I can put you in touch with the libraries who are using them.

[CODE4LIB] iSchool@Toronto Symposium: Creative Making in Libraries Museums - July 22-23, 2013
Apologies for cross-posting Creative Making in Libraries Museums Monday Tuesday July 22 23, 2013 www.creativemaking.org University of Toronto iSchool Institute Symposium in partnership with Dysart Jones Associates One of the hottest trends today is FabLabs, 3D printing, Makerspaces and the connection of libraries and museums to creation and invention. It's time for a symposium on the current landscape and a look at the opportunities for research, programs, practices and experiences of pioneers in this space. Dysart Jones Associates have assembled a stellar crew of the leading thinkers and innovators in the fields of critical making. Attendees will tour the University of Toronto iSchool Semaphore Research Lab, hear of international innovations in FabLabs and Makerspaces in libraries, explore the use of maker technology in museums and cultural institutions, and learn the connections to strategies for research, community and education. When one of Time magazine's top 100 thinkers, Chris Anderson, a famed journalist, and editor of Wired magazine and entrepreneur, writes his third book (following librarians' favorite, The Long Tail) on Makers: The New Industrial Revolution in 2012, you know the maker revolution is on the way! The book describes how entrepreneurs using open source design, and 3D printing as a platform are driving a resurgence of American manufacturing. The innovations portrayed, crowdsourcing of ideas, utilization of available lower-cost design and manufacturing tools, and reviewing options to outsource capital-intensive manufacturing were also highlighted in the February 2012 Harvard Business Review article, From Do It Yourself to Do It Together. Many industries, libraries, and museums have embraced the maker revolution. This two-day symposium illustrates the breadth and depth of the revolution, puts it into the context of libraries and museums, shares exciting programs already being pioneered and suggests areas for future endeavours. It features leading edge thinkers and practitioners, includes a tour of the University of Toronto's Critical Making Lab and focuses on strategies for libraries, museums, K-12 and other education and academic institutions.

[CODE4LIB] People network visualization
** apologies for cross-posting ** Hi everyone, Here at our happy think tank we have an informal network of researchers from around the world who collaborate from time-to-time on various academic papers. Once a year, we bring together these researchers here at our office for a few days so that they can communicate and collaborate face-to-face. The rest of the year, their communication is largely virtual. This network is always growing and changing shape ---new researchers join, many change positions and jobs, and we lose a few now and then. What I'd like to do is use an interactive visualization on our web site that will allow researchers to find each other. I want to tag the researchers according to their areas of study (I can develop a taxonomy here), affiliated institution, what years they attended our annual conference, etc. I am looking at TheBrain, which is neat, but I want to embed it in our web site (wordpress).

Re: [CODE4LIB] Job: Head, Digital Projects Metadata, Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale University
Because we are trained in information management, and many of us specialize in management of digital assets. That said, there are many other professions that also have these skills and passion for the digital bit. Since it's Yale, there is likely an employment agreement that the library will hire those with an MLS or equivalent.

I just wanted to chime in from downtown Toronto -- I certainly welcome meeting outside of my fair city, and prefer locales that can be reached via train (Ottawa, Montreal, Kingston, Sudbury). Porter airlines is also good, but sadly, they don't fly to Sudbury.

I think mode of transportation is something to consider; for those of us in South/Eastern Ontario, most of the cities are relatively reachable within a few hours by ground (excepting Sudbury, unfortunately). However, for those out-of-province coming via air transport, Kingston is at least 2h from the closest major airport (Ottawa). [NB: don't get me wrong; as a Queen's graduate, I love Kingston very much]. So, in the name of practicality, one of the larger cities -- Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal -- probably makes the most sense. It may be a bit less interesting for some, but at the same time, we could always pick one of the smaller cities for our second meet-up. Just my $0.02CAD. MJ PS. for air travel, Porter airlines is an excellent regional carrier, servicing Boston, Chicago, Montreal, Newark, Ottawa, Thunder Bay, and Toronto (among others).

While Sudbury would probably be nice, it would be a tough sell because of the distance from me (9.5 hrs). The others are all doable. Any ideas on how we should decide? Some sort of ranked list? I personally would enjoy going back to Montreal and I'd like to visit Ottawa, but Kingston is the closest. As far as dates, I'd personally like it to be on a Monday or Friday, this way I would only have to take one (or 1.5) days off from work, and, I can take the weekend to explore. (BTW: I'd like Monday better than Friday, but either would be better than a Tuesday or Wednesday (Thursday being my third choice). I guess I could do a weekend as well, but I would think most people would rather it be during the week, Edward David Fiander wrote: So far on the wiki the proposals for the location range from the center of known space to let's all visit Dan!: - Toronto - Kingston - Ottawa - Sudbury - Montreal Given some of the far-flung people who have expressed interest in the meeting, including some people in Wisconsin (!), it would be interesting to figure out the weighted average travel time required for all of these locations, but I suspect that that would just mean we end up in Toronto, again. I just added Montreal to the list, just because, hey, it's Montreal! But then, we'd have to find somebody at McGill to act as our host. If we're going to be meeting in April/May, then it's probably time to start the discussion about site selection so that when the decision is made, the hosts will have time to make the arrangements and so that people travelling have enough lead time to make cheap travel arrangements. - David

Re: [CODE4LIB] Code4Lib Journal, article accepted, Open Source in Name, but not in Nature
Jonathan, I have a feeling you didn't want to send this to the whole list :-) Kim -Original Message- From: Code for Libraries [mailto:code4...@listserv.nd.edu] On Behalf Of Jonathan Rochkind Sent: January 6, 2010 4:48 PM To: CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU Subject: [CODE4LIB] Code4Lib Journal, article accepted, Open Source in Name, but not in Nature Ms. Schaefer, I'm pleased to tell you that your recent proposal for the article Open Source in Name, but not in Nature has been provisionally accepted to the Code4Lib Journal. The editorial committee is interested in your proposal, and would like to see a draft. As a member of the editorial committee, I will be your contact for this article, and will work with you to get it ready for publication. I'm afraid that due to the holiday season, we've gotten a bit behind in our schedule. In order to potentially publish your article in in the 9th issue (target date March 15), we'd need to see a complete draft by January 15 (this could probably be extended a week or so at most). If this is too quick for you, we could instead slate the article for a June 2010 issue, which would give you another couple of months to write a draft. Please let me know that you've received this letter, and what your feelings are about whether a March Issue 9 timeline for your article is feasible. In considering that, you might want to consider our editorial suggestions/requirements for your articles below. We definitely like the idea of an article about good practices for collaborative community open source development, and we think using the Archivist's Toolkit as an example is probably quite useful. However, we're concerned that the article not end up a purely negative rant against the maintainers of the Archivist's Toolkit. We'd like you to make sure to focus on some positive aspects of the development of the Toolkit as well as negative aspects; to avoid attributing malice to any individuals but instead focus on some of the contextual challenges that may have led to the negative aspects; and most especially to include suggestions for improvements to the process that take account of such contextual challenges and don't assume that missing good intentions are all that's needed. In general, in order to publish your piece (which we will probably identify as a 'column' or 'opinion' in the journal), we want to make sure it ends up being constructive and collegial, and not a purely negative attack on the project or it's adminstrators. I'm sure this is what you intended all along, but we're concerned that the topic could easily become overly attacking without explicit care to the contrary. Hopefully this makes sense to you, please let me know if it doesn't! Please note that final drafts must always be approved by a vote of the Editorial Committee before being published; in this case we'll definitely want to make sure the article is constructive and not an attack. Looking forward to working with you, Jonathan Rochkind
