Re: [CODE4LIB] [code4libcon] Proposed Duty Officer
I, for one, really appreciate those who volunteered their time to be duty officers. I saw there are only 7 people who volunteered [1]. Would some more people consider to put their name as well, at least as backup(s) for the duty officer during the shift? (alas, I'm not going to this year's code4lib so I can't volunteer.)

Hello! Several of us encountered this article http://www.theverge.com/2015/9/18/9349425/slack-future-of-conferences-xoxo-festival and we like the idea that Slack can be used as a communication hub for the code4lib community. We know Slack is a lot like IRC, and we have that already. But there seem to be more features in Slack that would help with the conference, like the easy creation and discovery of channels. This is an experiment to see if we can expand the community even more. How?

[CODE4LIB] Fwd: webinar, Using GeoBlacklight to Implement Your Own Geoportal, Feb. 19, 2014, 3PM EST.
Of possible interest. Forwarded by request. --ranti. -- MAGIRT is proud to sponsor the webinar, Using GeoBlacklight to Implement Your Own Geoportal on February 19, 2014 at 3 PM EST. GeoBlacklight http://geoblacklight.org/ is an open-source geospatial discovery technology which expands the Blacklight search platform into GIS data holdings. GeoBlacklight is installable in minutes, easily customizable, and compatible with the Hydra ecosystem ( http://projecthydra.org ). In this webinar, we will (1) demonstrate the GeoBlacklight technology, (2) define and describe geospatial data holdings, (3) discuss how you can implement your own Geoportal using GeoBlacklight, and (4) field questions you may have. The technology behind GeoBlacklight goes beyond traditional Geoportals to provide three types of search (text, faceted, and spatial) across a federated repository of shared geospatial metadata, and a rich data model designed for preservation and repository management. Stanford started the development of GeoBlacklight in 2013, and, with MIT and Princeton, released a beta version in 2014, with a planned 1.0 release in 2015. Moreover, this effort is an open collaborative project aiming to build off of the successes of the multi-institutional Blacklight and OpenGeoportal federated metadata sharing communities (http://opengeoportal.org ). Registration is $20, or free to MAGIRT members: http://www.ala.org/Template.cfm?Section=olwebTemplate=/Conference/ConferenceList.cfmConferenceTypeCode=X Speakers: Darren Hardy is a GIS Software Engineer at Stanford University, where he develops open-source geospatial digital library software and services.

I think that it is fair to say that nobody involved with the video wants anything to do with paperwork, and if anyone has the time and energy to do that, their time would be better spent actually working on the video crew, which at this point is virtually nonexistent.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Usability Person?
Our library has a User Experience group. This is not a unit, but consists of 4 people whose part of work is related to user experience. This group's main focus primarily on the online experience: website, catalog, e-resources, and accessibility. We did quite a number of usability tests, shared the results with the stake holders, and recommended the changes. The changes that we recommended on our web presence tend to be small. The idea is not to do big change where it's very noticeable, but make it incremental so users won't get disoriented. Hence the frequent tests. For the accessibility part, I hired a blind student to assist me assessing our web presence and e-resources. We just hired a dedicated user experience librarian whose work would also include customer service assessments and user space area. ranti.

[CODE4LIB] Code4Lib 2014 Call for Proposals
Code4lib 2014 is a loosely-structured conference that provides people working at the intersection of libraries/archives/museums and technology with a chance to share ideas, be inspired, and forge collaborations. The conference will be held at the *Sheraton Raleigh Hotel in downtown Raleigh, NC from March 24 - 27, 2014*. For more information about the hotel, visit http://www.sheratonraleigh.com/ We are currently accepting proposals for prepared talks and pre-conferences. While only a limited number of these can be selected, multiple lightning talk and breakout sessions will provide additional opportunities for you to make your voice heard at the conference. *Proposals for Prepared Talks:* Prepared talks are 20 minutes (including setup and questions), and should focus on one or more of the following areas: - Projects you've worked on which incorporate innovative implementation of existing technologies and/or development of new software - Tools and technologies – How to get the most out of existing tools, standards and protocols (and ideas on how to make them better) - Technical issues – Big issues in library technology that should be addressed or better understood - Relevant non-technical issues – Concerns of interest to the Code4Lib community which are not strictly technical in nature, e.g. collaboration, diversity, organizational challenges, etc. *To submit a proposal:* - Go to http://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php/2014_Prepared_Talk_Proposals - Log in to the wiki in order to submit a proposal. If you are not already registered, follow the instructions to do so. - Provide a title and brief (500 words or fewer) description of your proposed talk. - If you so choose, you may also indicate when, if ever, you have presented at a prior Code4Lib conference. This information is completely optional, but it may assist us in opening the conference to new presenters. As in past years, the Code4Lib community will vote on proposals that they would like to see included in the program. This year, however, only the top 10 proposals will be guaranteed a slot at the conference. Additional presentations will be selected by the Program Committee in an effort to ensure diversity in program content. Community votes will, of course, still weigh heavily in these decisions. Presenters whose proposals are selected for inclusion in the program will be guaranteed an opportunity to register for the conference. The standard conference registration fee will still apply. Proposals can be submitted through Friday, November 8, 2013, at 5pm PST. Voting will commence on November 18, 2013 and continue through December 6, 2013. The final line-up of presentations will be announced in early January, 2014. *Pre-Conference Proposals:* Pre-conferences are full- or half-day sessions that will be held on Monday, March 24th, 2014 and can cover just about any topic you can think of [1]. If you are interested in hosting a pre-conference session, please create a pitch at http://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php/2014_preconference_proposals. Pitches should be added to the wiki by December 6. Please indicate the topic of your session and your preference for full-day or half-day. This is expected to be a fluid process, as our venue provides some flexibility in determining space. *Pre-Conference Attendance:* If you are interested in attending a pre-conference, please list your name underneath the pre-conference description on the wiki; this does not incur any obligation on your part, but will help planners. You might want to visit the page occasionally as new session pitches are added. Actual, less-revocable registration for pre-conferences will be handled as part of the overall conference registration, and will involve a very small fee. We look forward to reading your proposals, and seeing you at the conference! Code4Lib 2014 Program Committee -- Bulk mail. Postage paid.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Google Analytics w/ Sub-sub-domains
Andrew, I looked at the www.library.yale.edu and a bit confused with the links there. The links go to resources.library.yale.edu, but users will eventually get the www.library.yale.edu/researchtools or other sub-directories. So, my question is why there even exists resources.library.yale.edu if the users would end up in a subdirectory of www.library.yale.edu? The only thing that I can think of is to track the click-through by looking at the logs. If that's the case, why the need to have GA code to track resources.library.yale.edu? Sorry, not really helping out, but perhaps understanding the reason behind that resources.library.yale.edu might help figure out how to proceed.

Re: [CODE4LIB] How do you request digital format for a pdf interlibrary loan journal article where a digital format is available for the article?...
It depends on the license agreement between the publisher and the lending library. Many publishers do not allow library ILL to simply download the PDF directly from their journal article page and send it to the requestor. A lot of publishers allow the lending library to download and print the article, and then send it to the borrowing library as paper copy. There are also publishers who allow to send article as print-scan-send. That is, we have to print out the PDF, scan it (back to the PDF), and send it as a file. Do ask me why the publisher want that kind of silliness. That's what I'm told when I complaint about exactly the same thing. It is my understanding the scan-to-pdf is the problematic one; ILL unit will need to have OCR-capable scanner and that might add another burden to them if the OCR result is not good. YMMV. ranti.

[CODE4LIB] Assigning DOI for local content
Hi All, I was asked by somebody from a college @ my institution whether they should go with assigning DOI for their journal articles: http://llt.msu.edu/ I can see the advantage of this approach and my first thought is more about whether they have resources in running their purl server, or whether they would need to do it through crossref (or any other agency.) Has anybody had any experience about this? Moreover, are there other factors that one should consider (pros and cons) about this? Or, looking at the structure of their content, whether they ever need DOI? Any ideas and/or suggestions? Any insights about this is much appreciated. thanks, ranti. -- Bulk mail. Postage paid.
Re: [CODE4LIB] Suggest a keynote speaker for Code4Lib 2010!
I'd like to nominate two people (in no particular preference or order) because of their involvements in community-based activities.

According to their site [2], the book will also be freely available online to enjoy, share and modify under a Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike Non-Commercial license. The draft of the first chapter is available online.[3] Bacon previously had worked as a professional Open Source advocate at the UK government funded OpenAdvantage. He is a member of the Open Source community, co-founder and presenter of LugRadio, contributor to projects such as Jokosher, KDE and GNOME, and SeveredFifth music project.[4] 2. Benjamin Mako Hill - http://mako.cc/ Ben Mako Hill is a Senior Researcher at the MIT Sloan School of Management, a Fellow at the MIT Center for Future Civic Media, and an adviser and contractor for the One Laptop per Child project. He has been a leader, developer, and contributor to the Free and Open Source Software community as part of the Debian and Ubuntu projects. He authored The Official Ubuntu handbook (together with Jono Bacon) and Hacking Knoppix, among other things [5], and a member of the Free Software Foundation board of directors.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Code4Lib Logo?
The key to working with a professional is in identiyfing the design program — what the organization's story is, who its community is, and who you want to get your message to with the branding, as well as identifying what uses the logo will be used for — print, promotional items (t-shirts, hats, temporary tatoos, whatever), online — which has on effect on the deliverables, e.g. file sizes and formats. I'm for the logo that are designed professionally like the design program described above. This doesn't mean that the designer have to be a professional. They could be amateurs as well.
